The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 446 irreplaceable
Stockton was guarded by the Bucks, and his performance was mediocre;
Wilson was heavily guarded by Moncrief and played very hard.
The Bucks did a lot to pinch the Knicks' system, but they weren't ready for the murder press.
This made their game unimaginably difficult.
In the remaining seven minutes of the second quarter, the Bucks recovered 4 points, but the Knicks were still leading.
59 to 52
At the end of the half, Louis and Nelson looked at each other as they walked through the half.
The other party gave him a "you are really good at surprising people" look.
Louis came to the reporter.
"Little Lu, you once again achieved a staged lead by pressing the whole game. Is this your trump card?"
Louis said with a light smile: "The trump card should be unknown, but no one should know that the Knicks are good at pressing the whole court. This is one of our winning strategies."
"So, what's the reason why your full-court pressing is so effective so many times?"
"The reason is that we chose the right timing and the right opponent to press the whole court." Louie said nonsense, "I will only let the players do that if I am sure that it will work against the opponent."
Back in the locker room, Louie first made the list for the second half.
"Honey (Hornacek), Tyrone, Dale, Kevin, and our old artists." Louis finally looked at Artis Gilmour.
The artist is in exactly the English original meaning of Gilmour's name (Artis).
Artis was stunned for a few seconds, "Coach, did you talk to me?"
The locker room was filled with joy, and Gilmour was notorious for his slow reflex arc. In his pre-draft workouts, every link was a beat slower, which earned him the title of "Zombie Artis" ( gorArtis) title.
"It doesn't matter if your reaction is slow at the moment. If you are slow to react later on the court, be careful to be blocked." Louie suddenly felt uneasy about having Gilmour replace Ewing in the playoffs.
"No coach." McHale said for Gilmour, "Because of his slow reaction, he is very suitable for defending Shikma. You think, how many foot moves that Shikma does, Artis only react to one"
McHale once again drew cheers from the Knicks locker room.
It must be said that McHale's joke made Louie take it seriously.
Because it sounds so reasonable
In the second half, the Knicks shocked the scene.
Rick Barry and Bill Russell were both intimidated.
There are only two regulars, and Stockton, Wilson, and Ewing, who seem to be very crucial, are all sitting off the court.
"Coach Lu, what are you selling, Coach Lu?"
Barry said in confusion.
Russell knew Louie, and he knew Louie wasn't the kind of coach who would mess around.
"There must be some conspiracy hidden in this." Russell blew Louie, "Little Lu is the coach who likes to surprise people the most in the league. He is very similar to Reid back then."
Before the start of the second half, Louis told Hornacek; "Play more pick-and-rolls and use tactics. If they choose to bypass the pick-and-roll or squeeze through the pick-and-roll, you should seize the momentary gap to hit them."
As a defender, Hornacek's offensive ability is stronger than Stockton.
In the field of shooting, he has the ability to make an emergency stop while holding the ball. Since he came to the Knicks, Louis pays great attention to three-pointers from the outside, so he usually focuses on three-pointers.
Louie suddenly let him in the second half, and Hornacek was excited, but he didn't dare to forget Louie's order.
The Knicks changed three substitutes in the second half, and the Bucks decisively attacked their inside.
Although there is still McHale, the core player of the Knicks this season, he was selected to the double first team this year, but everyone knows that the core of New York's defense is Ewing who has fallen to the second defense.
Sure enough, McHale's defensive position is not to be said, and his wingspan is long enough, but his bullet speed and bounce power are a little worse, and he can't jump up to cover the attacker.
McHale fouls by John Lucas II.
Louis took a serious look at the face of Lucas II. If he guessed correctly, this guy will have a son named John Lucas III in the future, and he will play in the CBA after the age of 30 and play for the Fujian team. , happened to bump into Zhou Qi, who had just entered the CBA and was in his rookie season, and was slapped by Zhou Qi with a terrifyingly high nail plate cap.
Well, about Zhou Qi, Louie's memory is always good.
Another point is that the father and son look very similar, and they are definitely biological.
Hornacek, who was still at the No. 2 position in college, strengthened his movement control training in his rookie season, and has successfully transformed to the No. 1 position while retaining the characteristics of the No. 2 position. Compared with another version of Hornacek, this one under Louis will undoubtedly become better.
Corbyn gave Ellis a screen on the flank, and McHale and Gilmour played high pick-and-rolls at the same time.
Gilmour is new to the system's pick-and-roll, and he has to watch Hornacek's gestures all the time to know what to do next. McHale used a neat pick-and-roll to cut in, complete a low-position dislocation of 2High, and catch the ball and turn around for a jumper.
61 to 54
Price treated Corbyn like he was liberated.
His dribbling skills are great, which is why Nelson chose to transform him into a point forward.
He dribbled the ball against Corbin's glue defense. Although he couldn't dribble to get rid of it, his pass was a slick hook pass to Hickma inside.
Shikma hit Gilmour and hit the board with strength.
56 to 61
Now is the time when the Knicks are weak in combat. If they don't chase points at this time and wait for the other three to come back, it will be even harder to chase.
This time, Hornacek dribbled the ball to the frontcourt without even calling a tactic, and gave McHale a quick pass.
McHale catches the ball and turns a jumper.
Enter again.
As long as the opponent's defense is not in place, his turnaround jumper gives Louie the feeling that he won't miss a shot.
After that, it was two rounds of high energy, and Hick beat Gilmour on the horseback.
Gilmour didn't get shaken as McHale said he was too slow to react.
He was shaken.
However, Shikma's shot was a tad slower, and Gilmore, who still had enough energy, turned around and sent a big blood cap.
McHale saved the ball that was almost out of bounds.
Hornacek threw off Ellis on the fast break.
Ellis didn't want a 1-on-0 layup, and came directly to a chase three-pointer that both Barry and Russell were dissatisfied with.
"boom!"
Because he didn't make the shot, Barry began to frantically complain about Ellis' choice.
"Why would he do this? There is no defender in front of him, the layup rate is 100%, and he actually shoots a three-pointer?" Barry sarcastically said, "I think Little Lu is still too young to discipline these people. mess!"
"Yes, if there was a three-point line in the era of Reed's coaching, whoever dared to do it on the fast break would definitely be replaced." Russell noticed Louie's expression.
He didn't react, as if it was a matter of course.
Ellis missed a counter-attack, and Louie just clapped his hands to encourage them to get back on defense.
"This is too ridiculous."
Even Phil Jackson of the Knicks couldn't take it.
The Bucks' lineup has played to its due advantages, relying on shifting the ball, bullying Hornacek and Ellis' weak defensive awareness, and finding three-point opportunities on the right.
Moncrief shot decisively.
59 to 61
"It's 2 points, is Little Lu going to call a timeout?"
"No, he looks relaxed."
Many people don't understand Louie's indulgence of Ellis. It's like he caused so much trouble off the court, which seriously affected the Knicks' regular season game. Like this kind of 1-on-0 3-pointer in the frontcourt, it belongs to him. Get the most.
Off the court, Louie is also annoying, but Ellis currently has irreplaceable value in the Knicks.
Everyone else can find a spare tire~www.mtlnovel.com~Only Ellis, he can't play, the Knicks system will collapse in half.
That won't change a bit until Wilson becomes who Louie imagines it to be, or, until a replacement for Ellis is found.
McHale picked and rolled, ran down, changed lanes, and suddenly gave Ellis a back screen.
Ellis ran behind Hornacek on his screen, caught the ball, and made a 3-pointer.
Swish!
Wonderful Exchange day (high dynamic offense).
64 to 59
"Anyway, Dale Ellis is so unruly!" Barry was still bashing him.
"Yes, he is a very selfish player." Russell added the output.
But Ellis's performance is getting more and more vigorous.
