The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 1011 bloodthirsty line of defense
Chapter 1011 Bloodthirsty Line of Defense
After playing for about eight minutes, Louis adjusted his strategy.
Mohammad Rauf's defense is really an irreparable loophole under the Blazers' amazing offensive, especially considering that his shooting touch is not good under the opponent's strict defense.
The offensive end can't be effective, so it can only look for opportunities through defense.
Wilson played at the 1st position, Miller at the 2nd position, Rodman at the 3rd position, Kemp at the 4th position, and Ewing at the 5th position.
If Louie wanted the ultimate defensive effect, he would trade Miller for Reggie Williams or Alex Stevens.
Louie told Miller to keep playing.
Although his defense is not up to the average level of the team, it is not completely undesirable, but a bit biased.
Because of his thin stature, Miller was basically unable to withstand the opponent's breakthrough when defending against the ball holder.
This requires teammates to help defend.
Louis prepared four reliable help defenders for him.
This kind of four-guarantee-one defensive system is not common. Moreover, Miller is not good at defending against people with the ball, but he is top-notch in off-ball defense, especially when it comes to entanglement with people without the ball. Whether it is footwork or physical fitness, he has no problem.
Even so, Miller's defense is still problematic. The reason why Louis wants to use the four-guaranteed-one defensive configuration is to use his three-pointers to create opportunities.
Although the public has not yet admitted, but Miller is actually the league's first shooter.
Since entering the playoffs, he has hit 3.8 three-pointers per game, and his shooting percentage is as high as 41%. Record three-pointers and hit 48%.
This is already a perimeter output comparable to Dell Ellis's mythical performance in the 1988 Eastern Conference Finals.
The gap between him and Ellis is only one or two legendary battles recorded in history.
Judging from the Blazers' offensive threat, no matter how strong the Knicks' defensive lineup is, it will be difficult to prevent the opponent's offense.
Therefore, instead of pursuing the limit on the defensive end, there is room for the second position, in the hope that Miller will enter the state and reverse the situation with unstoppable three-pointers.
That's what a lineup is, but even if everything goes as Louie wants, Miller is in good shape, the Blazers' defense can't strangle him, and the Knicks' defense can hold up.
The whole stage is set up, waiting for Miller to sing - if all the objective situations are as good as Louie imagined, the Knicks still have to face a problem.
Is Wilson now selfless enough to feed Miller to the top as a top passer?
Only time will tell.
For the remaining minutes of the first quarter, the Blazers' defense against Miller was brutal.
Jordan doesn't have the ball to stick to the defense. If he encounters a screen, he will switch the defense immediately from the inside.
In just a few minutes, Miller only got one shot.
Moreover, at the moment of his shot, Jordan's supplementary defense was in place and almost blocked the shot.
Jordan's defense seriously affected his shooting accuracy.
"boom!"
In the past few minutes, Miller missed the only shot.
The price of Portland's tight defense against Miller was that Rodman had three cut dunks and Wilson's pull-up jumper was unguarded.
"Overall, the Blazers guarded the Knicks' 3s but allowed both benj and Dennis to get better opportunities. In the long run, this may be a worthwhile exchange."
An exchange that doesn't pay off? Riley would have laughed if that had been heard.
Many people simply don't understand how terrible the Knicks' perimeter offense is.
It is precisely because Riley has suffered a lot in this regard that he must be careful and careful.
Riley is also very clear about Louie's thoughts on keeping Miller on the court when the Knicks desperately needed defense.
The Blazers entered the second quarter with a 7-point lead.
In the second quarter, Louis let Ewing and Kemp rest, let Rodman play the fourth position, Yu Tiancan came off the bench normally, and then let Wilson play against Jordan.
Unlike in the past, in this finals, Wilson rarely had the opportunity to face Jordan for a long time. Louis did not want to take the initiative to create this kind of matchup that would feast the eyes of fans.
Because the current Jordan is the best Jordan, and the current Wilson is not the best Wilson.
However, this also brings with it a very real problem.
Only Wilson can put pressure on Jordan on both ends of the floor.
Now Louie asked Wilson to face Jordan, because he saw that the former was in shape and could fight Jordan.
But whether this Wilson, who has separated from his teammates in terms of play style, can play the same effect in front of Jordan, still needs to be tested in actual combat.
Riley chose to put up the "Verdun line of defense" at the beginning of the second quarter.
Let Jordan partner with Kexi, Robinson, McDaniel, and Mason to launch the most violent defense against the Knicks' second team.
Wilson often cameoed the Knicks at the No. 1 position.
The Knicks have had a problem since Jeff Hornacek left in 1990.
They don't have a suitable backup at the 1st position.
Although players like Mohamed Rauf were introduced later, as the No. 1 player, Rauf's style and style of play are different from Stockton's.
So, in the absence of a better complement, Louie developed Wilson's playmaking ability.
In the past, Wilson often performed amazingly when he played the first position.
But his current style of play is completely different from the past. Whether he can achieve satisfactory results still needs to be tested by the game.
The Blazers' Verdun defense showed a defensive prowess that frightened Western teams.
Jordan's press on Wilson was rough and technical.
More ruthless people like Xavier McDaniel assisted.
Before halftime, Wilson was forced to pass the ball.
The ball comes to Miller.
Miller's dribbling ability was not enough to break through, and he made mistakes and lost the ball under the pressure of the Blazers.
Stealing Miller's Jerome Cosey went all out and scored a dunk in the frontcourt.
Then, Wilson dribbled alone and broke through Jordan's defense.
When encountering Cauchy's assisted defense, he will complete continuous breakthroughs by means of an emergency stop and then an emergency start.
At this moment, Louie saw the Blazers abandoning Rodman and shrinking the restricted area just to block Wilson's way.
As long as Wilson passes the ball, he will break the opponent's defense.
However, Wilson chose to face the difficulties.
Because in his opinion, although Anthony Mason, who is in charge of assisting defense, is as strong as a heavyweight boxer, as an insider, he is not enough to stop him, whether it is height, arm length or physical fitness.
Wilson forgot the Blazers' "no layup rule."
Mason knew that he couldn't stop Wilson, so he chose the way of violent collision and paid for a foul, but he also successfully intercepted him.
The 2-pointer that Wilson held in his hand turned into two unpredictable free throws.
A second after Wilson was put on the ground, Rodman rushed forward angrily and pushed Mason away.
In 1988, the Knicks played against the Trail Blazers for the first time in the Finals. At that time, the Knicks had just passed the Celtics' pass, and they were so imposing that they didn't pay attention to the Blazers at all.
The result of that finals was also one-sided. The Knicks dominated the Trail Blazers with a game intensity that completely surpassed the Western Conference level.
At the time, the Knicks were the most brutal team in the league.
Now, times have changed and the Knicks are still savage, but the Trail Blazers have undoubtedly become a more savage team under Riley's two-year transformation.
Few of the Blazers back then dared to fight the Knicks. Now, Rodman's behavior for Wilson has provoked the entire Blazers team to attack.
Jordan clamped Rodman's hands and mouthed "f-you" obscenities.
McDaniel even started directly, trying to make things worse.
Except for Yu Tiancan, the other four players on the Knicks field are veterans and are not afraid of conflicts.
But as a disadvantaged party, the Knicks need to stabilize their mentality. Suddenly, such a move will only benefit the Blazers.
It is Pat Riley's ability to train this team from a typical Western team to a wild Eastern team.
Louie glanced at Riley, who happened to be looking at him too.
Riley wondered if Louie, who once tortured his opponents to death with murderous pressure, could empathize now.
If Riley could read Louie's thoughts, he might be disappointed.
The Blazers seem to have pushed the Knicks to a corner~www.mtlnovel.com~ In Louis' mind, what he considers is the team's chemical reaction.
The Blazers are getting better and better, and they have no problems inside or outside the team.
There are still many problems facing the Knicks, the most important of which is Wilson's style of play.
Having reached this juncture, Louis is still unmoved.
He replaced Yu Tiancan, who was not used to the tight rhythm, and asked McHale to go up to the fifth position. Anyway, Mason is also strong at the fifth position with the body of the fourth position, which is not bad—although Mason weighs at least no matter how you look at it It is 1.5 times that of McHale, but this guy obviously has muscles in his brain, and his IQ is not high. McHale can win with his wits.
This is of course Louis' wishful thinking, he just wants Ewing and Campo to rest for a while.
As for how to survive this period of time, he looked at Wilson and pointed to his head: "Benj, use your brain, don't always be rampant!"
