The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 447 deliberate plan
The negative impact of the fast break three-pointer that Dell Ellis missed was eliminated by himself.
With the linkage between Hornacek, Corbin, and McHale, he not only ran the most familiar Exchange Ricky (high dynamic attack), but also ran an improved version that Louis specially made for Wilson. He seemed to be demonstrating to Wilson off the court how an outside shooter in a real system should affect the game.
The Bucks can still find the Knicks' defensive problems.
After all, this lineup is not a defensive elite except for McHale and Corbin.
Terry Cummings hit McHale, took a high jumper, and hit it.
61 to 64
It was the turn of the Knicks to attack again, and Louie asked Wilson to take a serious look at Ellis' running position: "Benj, what did you find in Dell's running position?"
Wilson saw that Ellis, who had always been taciturn, would call out to his teammates loudly when he was running.
He had already felt this.
But being with him on the court and watching the game off the court is a different experience.
Ellis is obviously more devoted than before. He is familiar with the pick-and-roll methods and coordination of his teammates, which shows that he has always known the tactical routines of these people.
The reason Ellis can perform so well in the system is that he knows what to do inside.
He can grasp the movement of the inside line, so he can appear in a key position every time.
This round, he pretended to run from the right corner to the left corner, stopped suddenly, and ran back.
Paul Price, who was chasing him, was stopped by Gilmour's pick-and-roll. Ellis received the ball from the right corner and scored another three-pointer.
67 to 61
"Just like John, he has memorized all our tactics." Louis said in a nutshell, "so every time he attacks, he knows how to move to get out of opportunities, and he can also use his position to initiate. Appropriate dynamic offense."
Wilson listened carefully to what Louis said.
Is he going to do the same?
At this time, Hick hit Gilmore on horseback and missed.
But the Bucks have offensive rebounds.
Cummings grabbed an offensive rebound and showed McHale his footsteps inside, but his footsteps couldn't shake his 244CM wingspan and was blocked.
Fortunately, the ball returned to his hands, but the Bucks had no seconds left in the attack clock.
Cummings barely made a shot and didn't go in.
McHale is well-deserved of the double first team honor.
In fact, Louie felt that McHale would be on the second defense for a while, and Ewing was more suitable for the first defense than him.
As a result, Ewing defended second and McHale defended first.
Countless people complained about Ewing. Although Ewing's infamous "Yankee" made him fall to the second defense, it seemed a bit of natural retribution, but McHale entered the first defense. Ewing fell to the consolation prize of the second defense.
For the league's top defensive team, there must be someone on defense, right?
This award gives people the feeling that it is not objective at all, unfair, and not seeking truth from facts.
Of course, as long as McHale has an excellent defensive performance, the commentators will mention his selection for the first defense.
Barry has already started: "Kevin McHale is the best player on this team. The Knicks' defense this season is the best in the league. He has contributed..."
Russell's philosophy is outdated, but it is still clear who is the defensive core and who is the offensive core.
He didn't respond to Barry's words.
The Bucks conceded a goal, and Hornacek dribbled the ball across half court. The Bucks were in a dangerous situation. Facing the Knicks' second team, they didn't have an advantage, and they showed a trend of attacking on the offensive end.
Suddenly, they guarded Hornacek like Stockton.
For the pick-and-roll, they chose to circle the defense.
Louie's instructions sounded in Hornacek's mind. He caught the Bucks around the vacant defensive position and collected the ball for a jumper.
It was actually a three-pointer.
The defensive gap vacated by the pick-and-roll is a routine operation of the group of three-point monsters in the small ball era, and Hornacek shot with confidence.
"Shua!"
70 to 61
Nelson couldn't sit back and watch the Knicks' second unit blow him up, and angrily asked for a timeout.
Off the court he yelled at the players for being lifeless and playing like jerks.
For the Knicks, Louis was much gentler. He asked Gilmour, "Is your physical strength okay?"
Gilmore nodded: "Okay."
"Then hold on for a few more minutes." Louis smiled and said to Hornacek, "Honey, from now on you will play the second position, Dell will play the third position, Tyrone will come down to rest, and John." Louis looked at Stein Tocton, "You come up and play number one."
Since the defense of this lineup is destined to be bad, then don't defend.
Louis is a person who can afford and let go, is not rigid, and always knows what he wants.
If the team's offensive state is better, focus on offense.
If the offense is not good, play the defense as hard as you can.
Hornacek's three-pointer shows that he feels good tonight, so he will play the second position, so that the Knicks have two space points on the outside, and Stockton doesn't need to use him to call the pick-and-roll. It is enough to hold the ball directly on the outside and let others run tactics.
Since the Knicks changed their lineup, the Bucks and them have fallen into the rhythm of you coming and going.
Moncrief has a clear advantage over Stockton, Hornacek and Ellis.
Therefore, as long as he holds the ball in his sweet spot, there is no difference in singles.
Eat Stockton in this round, and Ellis in that round. Both are delicious and juicy, so you must try them.
However, Nelson gave the order to die, and the defense must be ruthless and fierce.
The Bucks did it, and the defensive intensity is very strong.
Hornacek is Stockton's substitute most of the time. When the Knicks seldom play the second position, now he temporarily plays the second position. All he can do is to find a suitable position and punish him. A teammate feeds the ball and shoots an open three-pointer.
The real protagonist on the offensive end is Ellis, and everyone knows that.
Ellis is stalked by Moncrief.
Suddenly there is no chance to run, Stockton can't take over, Hornacek stands still, and the Knicks' offense seems to be blocked to death.
However, there is an option on the field.
McHale received the ball from a high position and hit the basket with the ball to cause a foul by the Bucks.
Hugh Hollins was angrily reprimanded by Nelson, "This kind of confrontation also calls a foul? Then why play?"
Hollins stared back at Nelson, with a hint of menace in his eyes.
Harris stopped Nelson, who wanted to further get angry with the referee. McHale stood on the free throw line and made two free throws, which resolved the difficulties faced by the Knicks on the offensive end.
"Time is running out for the Bucks."
"Isn't it weird that their all-main lineup is on par with the Knicks' second unit?"
"If the opponent dares to use the second team against your full main force in regular time, there are only two possibilities, one is that their substitutes are in better condition today, and the other is that they don't pay attention to your main force at all. "
Barry is an out-and-out diode, and the two views thrown out are either one or the other, and there is no middle value.
Russell is at least a player and coach who has won two championships. He raised another possibility: "Perhaps, Little Lu is brewing something."
Five minutes into the third quarter, 74 to 66.
The Knicks lead by 8 points. Moncrief deserves to be the best perimeter defender in the first half of the 1980s. He is no longer at his peak, locking Ellis off the ball.
Starting from his matchup against Ellis, Ellis missed all 3 shots.
The Knicks handed over the offense to their big men.
McHale took over a lot of offense in the low post, and Gilmour grabbed a few offensive rebounds.
The Knicks held on through the first six minutes of the third quarter and led the Bucks by five points, 76-71.
Seeing that the lineup's resistance had reached its limit, and McHale could only take over if it went on, Louis asked for a timeout again.
This pause aroused Russell's doubts.
And Nelson's vigilance.
Especially...Rodman, Stevens, Salley standing up from the court at the same time.
The implication is obvious enough!
Murder pressing?
Yep, that's not even implied, it's stated.
Unlike the murder press in the first half, this murder press included Wilson and Ewing in addition to Ross, Si, and Se.
That's why Louie benched them to start the second half.
Let them rest for a while, and then play to give the Bucks a fatal blow.
Nelson has already predicted that the Knicks will use the murderous press, but all he can do is to replace a lineup with a guard + four wings.
"If the Knicks decided to run the full-court press in the third quarter, it would make sense not to start the second half with Patrick Ewing and Benjamin Wilson."
"LittleLu is accumulating energy for this plan."
Barry said in surprise: "He really believes in his players. UUReading Book www.uukanshu.com Ordinary coaches would never make such a dangerous decision."
"Maybe this decision is not dangerous for him at all." Russell laughed.
The murderous press with a core is here.
The Bucks responded in exactly the same way as in the first half, but this time they encountered a murderous press, and the intensity was much greater than the last time.
The balance of victory and defeat tilted towards the Knicks almost in the first second after the timeout ended.
There are things the Bucks do well and a lot of things they don't.
The worst thing they did was not being prepared for the Knicks' murderous press.
The problem is, the murder press is no secret to the league.
Now that I have seen its horror, it is a bit late to arrange manpower to target it.
