The Rest, Only Noise

The Blazers' starter gave up Jagged Basketball.

Abandoning is not the right word, though.

Should be replaced. They switched to a system that was more suitable for starting than Jagged Defense.

This choice is based on reality. If the original style of play is maintained, some people will definitely be unaccustomed.

Therefore, the Blazers' starters and backups are different. They don't regard defense as the most important thing, just try their best.

For Barkley, it liberated him.

If he defends like a mad dog every night like he did last season, he'll be exhausted.

Likewise, it was a relief for veteran Larry Nance. He's more accustomed to the slow-paced defensive rhythm that the Blazers were too aggressive with last season.

They don't need to go after every possession as they did last season.

Instead, you only need to defend against opponents in some rounds, and then blow up the entire league with an unstoppable attack.

Wait until their offense destroys the other team's defense, then put the Verdun defense line to harvest.

The offensive and defensive logic is very simple, the effect is... It's like this, blowing up the entire league.

However, the Knicks are different from other opponents the Blazers have met.

If the defensive configuration is not right, let alone defending them, even defending them in part of the round is an extravagant hope.

As long as the Knicks feel online and the Trail Blazers' starting five-man strategy remains unchanged, they can't prevent it.

Sabonis' stance that the Tigers are out of the mountain looks scary, but Raouf and Ewing's various jumpers outside the paint that ignore his presence also gave the Blazers inspiration.

After a 14-8 start, the Blazers requested a timeout.

"Xiaoyu, replace Patrick."

Louie makes the rotation ahead of time.

"Patrick, I'm going to speed up the game, you're not fit to be on the court."

Ewing had a question: "Is Harold better suited to a fast-paced game than me?"

"Of course not more suitable than you, but he is a substitute, and you are our core." Louis explained patiently, "I don't want you to consume too much in a fast-paced game."

Ewing nodded: "I understand."

The Blazers made the same substitution decision as the Knicks.

But they didn't replace Sabonis, who seemed to have been regarded as a weakness, but Barkley, who missed an average.

Although Barkley is still in his prime, when he wants to play the 3 position, the movement speed of the defensive end will be a big problem. In addition, he has his own inherent problem of missing people. When he encounters the Knicks system, after a few rounds, it is a thunderbolt. Bombing toilets - aroused public anger (feces).

Fans like Barkley, but they don't like his attitude of doing nothing and not caring about the game.

In fact, Barkley doesn't care about the game, he just doesn't know how to defend.

Even if he knew, it was only his brain that knew, but his hands and feet didn't.

Just like many teaching videos on the Internet, it seems that you have learned it after watching it once, but when you wait for the practical stage, you find that it is still far behind.

The Blazers' substitutions are quite particular.

They traded Clifford Robinson for Barkley.

Barkley was replaced by an athletic swing forward who was nearly 2.10 meters tall.

As a result, the Blazers' frontcourt lineup has a clear advantage in height.

Moreover, Clifford's help defense and switching defense are at the top level in the league, and the system used against the Knicks is the most suitable.

Louie didn't think Clifford was a good move.

The man was a blockbuster in the Finals last season, proving his invaluable value as a two-way swing forward, but now, what the Blazers need is a forward who can move around in the rotation.

Clifford is all good, just too tall.

With a height of nearly 2 meters 10, even if the rotation can keep up, it is easy to be beaten up.

The result was unexpected, Clifford, though tall, was surprisingly fast.

Because of his speed, his height and arm length make him surprisingly effective when switching defenses.

His performance reminded Louie of John Salley on his team.

The comparison between Sabonis and Gobert can also be placed on these two.

Clifford, Nance and Jordan, together, gave the Blazers the confidence to switch defenses indefinitely.

This is one of Riley's innovations.

Unlimited switching, before the Warriors' strong rise, the NBA rarely switched defenses. Because switching defenses in the popular sense is to output the minimum defensive intensity at the expense of defensive quality.

But the Warriors' small ball changed everything.

Facing the peak Warriors, two teams in 2016 came up with ways to dismember the ball. One is the Spurs. The two teams played against each other for the second time in the season. Popovich boldly ordered the team to use infinite switching, limiting the Warriors, who averaged 114 points per game that season, to only 79 points in a single game, winning the game; The other team is the Cavaliers in the finals. The brainless man, guided by tactician Lu, made Curry fans grit their teeth, but this did limit the unanimous MVP, and then the three were in the right place at the right time and place. In the case of gathering, defeated the Warriors with 73 wins.

The birth of infinite defense switching requires soil.

What is soil?

This is when a team that relies heavily on pick-and-rolls and screens has to be invincible.

The person who came up with this method also had to have a clear mind, a cool head and advanced insight, as well as the corresponding team configuration.

The Knicks system, based on the system, has come out of its own way over the years.

Even, in the outside world, the system is called the "L.NYK" system.

Because this name has never jumped out of the "" ranks, but New York and Baganzi can't fight, so why give them glory? Therefore, the New York media, which has to be first in everything, refers to the Knicks system as "L.NYK".

The domineering New York media thinks it has that right.

Like they don't allow foreign media to call Louie "Little"

Lu", this kind of fanatical worship of the team and the individual gradually shifted from the critics to the fandom.

Back to the topic, the emergence of infinite switching requires the right team, the right person, and the right timing.

The Knicks had the foundation to spark the birth of infinite switching, and their arch-rival, the Blazers, had a visionary coach with the most luxurious wing in basketball history.

All of this laid the foundation for him to stand on Louie's shoulders and push his own defensive philosophy.

Moreover, although the main switching players of the Blazers' lineup are Jordan, Clifford and Nance, people like Thomas will also be involved.

Only Sabonis will stay away from the switch system.

Jordan's defensive aggression, Clifford's movement speed and defensive area, and Nance's patching sweep, the Blazers put the Knicks in trouble.

Mohammad Raouf's form has declined to a certain extent.

Louis could see that it was time for a replacement.

He wants Raouf to explode like Game 5 of last season's Finals, but that desire isn't realistic.

Under absolute close-up pressure, even his ultimate enhanced version of Golden State LaVine will be prevented from being able to find the basket, and he is in the most unfriendly era for the ball handler, plus the Blazers' flank group Defensive influence, it is normal to be caught out of rhythm.

During this time, although the Blazers lost points, they suppressed the Knicks on the scene.

Riley reined in Louie's tactical intent to speed up, using a nifty no-limit switch to force the Knicks to perform a lot of solo play.

This is just the effect obtained by changing a Barkley. If the five people on the field are replaced by the legendary Verdun defense, I can't imagine what the picture will be.

Louie was in awe of the Blazers' defensive prowess, but that was just the Blazers normalizing their performance in the Finals.

Compared with last year's finals, they have been running in for more than half a season, and it is natural to make progress.

With 4 minutes left in the first quarter, Louie replaced Laouf and Wilson, which is a normal rotation, and replaced Stockton and Reggie Williams.

The Blazers have also changed.

Riley decided to give the Knicks a hard punch.

He replaced Thomas, Jordan, Nance, Sabonis.

The original five people only retained Clifford, and then replaced Alvin Robertson, Jerome Curcy, Anthony Mason, Xavier McDaniel.

"The fans at Memorial Coliseum stood up in excitement!"

"With 4 minutes left in the first quarter~www.novelmt.com~they've been waiting for their 'meat grinder moment'!"

The Trailblazer's Murder Press was called by Riley the "Line of Verdun," which in turn was named after the "Battle of Verdun," also known as the Verdun Meat Grinder. Therefore, the time when the Blazers put this lineup on the court to kill the opponent's second team was called "meat grinder moment" by fans.

It seems that they are still a little conservative.

If it was decided to kill the Knicks, Jordan should be kept in this lineup.

Only by replacing Jerome Curcy with Jordan can this lineup be full of strength on both ends of the floor.

However, even this lineup is enough to beat the league invincible.

When this kind of change happened, Louis had no idea of ​​temporarily adjusting his strategy.

Just to take this opportunity to test their second unit, he wanted to see if the Knicks' second team could stand up to the Blazers' Verdun defense.

Eating melons and eating melons has affected the code words in the past few days. As a result, when I used WX to discuss the right and wrong of the parties with my cousin at noon, I was laughed at, and he said, "You don't read their books. Wrong, you also earn hundreds of millions a month, right?" He made a lot of sense and made me speechless, I reflected for a few minutes and decided to block him, did I do it right? hihihihi
