The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 1114 he is relieved

The battle of the pre-match meeting was bigger than Louie imagined.

Although the head coach Zhao Yuanzheng was the protagonist of the meeting, he was the one who spoke the least.

Two young assistant coaches, Rick Carlisle and Mike Budenholzer, offered their insights.

Carlisle believes that after Robinson fell due to injury, the six-man rotation is no longer suitable for the Lakers.

Budenholzer proposed to use the athletic ability of the flanks to improve the rhythm of the game, and strive to run to the Clippers' Mutombo and Barkley.

Inside coach Kareem-Jabbar said nothing.

Although he is a member of the coaching staff, the Lakers currently do not have many inside players worthy of serious development.

Abdul-Jabbar doesn't have much insight into the game, either.

Jerry West and others watched from the sidelines and had no opinion.

Finally, Zhao Yuanzheng looked at Louis, with the meaning of asking for help in his eyes.

"Do you want to hear my advice?" Louis stood up.

That feeling, as if he is the head coach of this team.

The atmosphere of the pre-match meeting suddenly changed.

"I can't ask for it." Zhao Yuanzheng tactfully gave up the middle position.

Although Zhao Yuanzheng only gave Louis two hours, his research on the Clippers started long before that.

First look at the Clippers' lineup, the eight-man rotation for the playoffs is Poole Richardson (poohrichardsonpg), Perryvis Ellison, Barkley, Mutombo, Sprewell , Horry, Du Shuai, Eric Piakowski (ericpiatkowskisg/sf).

Except for Mutombo and Sprewell, none of these eight players can reach the average level of the playoffs.

But it is also the existence of Mu and Si that makes the Clippers' defense among the best.

It made Louie think of another team—the Utah Jazz in the Rudy Gobert era.

Gobert is undoubtedly the greatest regular-season defender of his generation.

With him on the floor, the Jazz rank fourth in the league in defense and 28th in the league when he's not on the floor.

But entering the playoffs, Gobert's defense seems less scary.

The Jazz in those years were defeated by the Warriors, Rockets, Clippers, Nuggets and other teams.

Gobert looked particularly cumbersome on the court, unable to defend the opponent's roll call and pick-and-roll, just like Dikembe Mutombo defending O'Neal.

When a strong defensive team crumbles in the playoffs, their defensive core is to blame.

However, this is not the whole truth about the Jazz's collapse in the playoffs.

Remember, when Gobert wasn't on the floor, the Jazz had the 28th best defense in the league. This means that apart from him, there are not many good defensive players in the team.

If his teammates can't guard pick-and-rolls, if his teammates get easily swept away by a screen, if his teammates can't keep anyone with the ball in front of him in the playoffs, you can count on Gobert to continue Hold the team?

This is the playoffs, and you're going to get caught and beat up if you have any flaws.

Gobert obviously can't do one defense against five, and no one can do one defense five. His real crime may be that as a great defender and a rare traditional insider in the small ball era, he can't bring enough threats on the offensive end.

Therefore, Louie clearly pointed out that whether the roll call tactic with Benjamin Wilson as the main body can be used by everyone in the Clippers, so that they don't know how to defend benj, will determine the success or failure of the game.

On the basis that benj can point to the entire Clippers team, Pippen is also capable of controlling the Clippers on both ends of the offense and defense, as long as he can show an average touch.

Divac's long-range shots and support must be used well.

Van Gundy, as Louie's favorite student, will stick to the pocket formation to the end. Therefore, Dell Ellis' corner three-pointer will be the key to penetrating the pocket.

Once Wilson or Pippen's roll call threatens the paint from the perimeter, regardless of whether Mutombo will be pulled out for military training, the Clippers' pocket formation will be impacted.

At that time, if the integrity of the pocket formation is insisted on, Wilson and Pippen can play small and large at will. If they want to help defend, then Ellis in the bottom corner will definitely be emptied.

Meanwhile, Steve Kerr's accuracy as an open shooter is guaranteed.

In terms of lineup, the Lakers already have the conditions to play 5out.

As long as the shot is accurate, even if Mutombo becomes the first basket guard in history, he will encounter Gobert's embarrassing situation.

"Betting on the three-point line?" Kupchak asked. "Is it too risky?"

Louis laughed: "Considering our situation, I think it's worth trying, and the result can't be worse anyway."

West didn't like the arrangement, but he was a man who could force himself to accept adversity.

When he thought that the Lakers' insiders no longer had an advantage in front of the Clippers, Louis' plan became feasible in his heart.

Robinson's absence destined the Lakers to not be able to use conventional routines to play g6, otherwise they would be torn apart by the Clippers.

Except for Kupchak, no one else disagreed.

The game strategy of g6 was thus set.

Although Louis played the Clippers as Gobert's Jazz, this Clippers has better conditions than that Jazz.

The first is that they have giants like Sprewell on their flanks.

And at the power forward position, there is Barkley, a superstar who can blow anyone up.

This is what the Jazz don't have. The 5out lineup and roll call can reduce Mutombo's strategic value, but as long as the game is in-depth, the winner or loser will ultimately be determined by strength.

On May 18, 1995, Game 6 of the semifinals between the Lakers and the Clippers arrived as scheduled.

Zhao Yuanzheng has seen how strong Wilson is under the roll call system.

In Game 7 of the 1993 Finals, the god-like 66 points in a single game was a lingering nightmare for Portland.

Zhao Yuanzheng also thought about creating a roll call system, but the Lakers had many problems at that time, and there was no chance to establish a new system at all.

Now it is only possible to replace the ball handler with Wilson in the original pick-and-roll system.

When Wilson asked about the intentions of the coaching staff, Zhao Yuanzheng said vividly: "How did you play the night you scored 66 points in Portland, and how you play now."

Therefore, from the beginning, Wilson has a full sense of presence.

Van Gundy also adjusted the lineup today, allowing Du Shuai to play against Wilson as the starting No. 3.

However, even in the face of a substitute like Du Shuai, Wilson did not single out, but waved Green to pick and roll.

If Barkley comes out with him, Wilson will take him back to G7 in 1993. If Barkley doesn't come out, it will be even more impolite, and he will directly stop and shoot a jump shot to punish the opponent's laziness and slack on the defensive end.

No one can't order.

Including Sprewell, who has the best wing defense for the Clippers.

When the madman came to Wilson, he was directly eaten by the latter.

The Clippers were so overwhelmed that they started double-teaming, and Wilson passed the ball to Pippen.

Pippen was also able to overwhelm the Clippers' flanks.

Under the same conditions, Pippen shot outside and inside, made an emergency stop and turned over, and even completed a mountain-like dunk in the third quarter. The victim was Mutombo.

Faced with such an offense, the Clippers didn't know how to respond.

Van Gundy's response was also flawed. The Clippers looked chaotic as a whole, and were blasted by Wilson and Pippen on the flanks.

In order to guard against these two, Van Gundy also designed a small pocket on the side.

The end result of this is that the long shots of Ellis, Kerr and Divac are activated.

When the Lakers rained three-pointers from the outside, the Clippers also lost the chance to win.

118 to 102

After losing David Robinson, the Lakers took the game to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum with a big victory after changing their lineup and adjusting their strategy. They will play a tie-break with the Clippers in that seemingly away game but not actually an away game decisive battle.

"Sports Illustrated" writer Jack McCallum wrote in the preview of the Lakers' tiebreaker: "Benjamin Wilson has participated in four tiebreakers so far in his career and won all of them."

It was probably this tainted milk that made Wilson "have an accident".

On the morning of game7, Wilson walked to Louis' office with a serious face, "Coach, I was bitten."

After all, he showed his right hand with Bundy wrapped around his index finger.

"Your dog bit it?" Louie asked.

Wilson looked embarrassed, "It's not a dog..."

Wilson didn't say what he was bitten by. In short, he was bitten. It hurts a bit, but it won't affect tonight's game. As for whether it will affect the shooting feel, I don't know.

Louis thought for a long time before he could understand how Wilson was bitten. If you have watched "Animal World", you will find that when lions and tigers pass on their families, the males always like to bite the back of the object's neck. Prevent the lioness/tiger from having a stress response when being pricked. Since human beings have taken this kind of thing as fun, they have been looking for fun. If you don’t explain it clearly and put your hand in someone’s mouth casually, is it normal to be bitten?

Louis couldn't help but look at Wilson's xp with admiration. Not only was this guy's aesthetics different from ordinary people, but his xp was unique. Fortunately, his finger injury didn't affect his performance that night.

Wilson's shooting is all right, but Pippen is the one who looks like his hand was bitten.

His shooting was unreliable in a game of this intensity, but Wilson was unstoppable like a **** of war.

Dale Ellis shows killer instinct.

At the end of the third quarter, all clues indicated that the Lakers would win the tiebreaker.

But starting from the fourth quarter, after Mutombo hit two zombie hooks in a row, the Clippers staged a huge reversal.

Barkley "ate" Green as if it were his donut for the day.

Sprewell scored all kinds of outrageous 2+1s.

Even Du Shuai made a quick stop and made a jumper under Wilson's defense.

The real killer was the man named Robert Horry. In the last 3 minutes, the Clippers were still 7 points behind. As a result, he scored 12 points in one minute to help the Clippers achieve a lead.

At the end of the game, Wilson had a chance to save the Lakers' season.

10 seconds before the end, Wilson changed direction in front of Sprewell and made a three-pointer at the top of the arc.

That's a great opportunity.

But it seemed that the bitten finger produced the negative effect it should have had at the most critical moment.

"boom!"

Barkley grabbed the defensive rebound and immediately threw it to Sprewell. The Lakers fouled and the Clippers went to the free throw line. The balance of victory has completely turned to the Clippers.

After about half a minute, the game was over.

104 to 101

This world-renowned intra-city derby ~www.mtlnovel.com~ The Clippers beat the Lakers 4-3 and advanced to the Western Conference Finals.

Wilson stood there for half a minute, until Barkley came over and said, "You're going to scare me to death with that **** three-pointer. Damn, if that goal goes in, I'll have to kill that **** Sprewell. !"

Wilson had to settle for his first playoff loss since 1988.

He smiled wryly: "Maybe if I don't shake him away, I'll just throw it in."

For the Lakers, this is the worst possible result.

In the playoffs, he lost to the Clippers, whom he usually looked down upon, and he couldn't win until Robinson was reimbursed for the season.

The only person who was reborn was Zhao Yuanzheng.

Of course it was a pity to lose, but he was relieved.
