The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 522 There won\'t be 1 second of garbage time in this game

Chapter 522 There will not be a second of garbage time in this game

This era is not the era of three-pointers. Trying to rely on three-pointers to rule the contemporary era is a strange way of thinking. Louie never really thought about it, he just accepted the three-point shot much higher than others.

However, if opponents completely let go of the Knicks' three-pointers and let them go, then the Knicks are not unable to defeat them with outside shots.

The complete Pistons, or the Pistons playing ace, is exactly a team that gives up defending three-pointers.

This lineup was built to hit the Celtics.

In last year's semifinals, the Pistons' luxurious frontcourt lineup was destroyed by Sampson alone.

The impact of that incident was far beyond imagination. There was a problem with the team building line of thought of this Pistons team. They don't know how to keep going, and they don't know how to persevere.

If you can't beat the Celtics, it's impossible to talk about upgrading the lineup.

The Celtics got rid of the Pistons head-on.

That is confirmation of power.

A round of the standard "If I don't give it to you, you can't grab it" series.

Last year's fiasco stopped the Pistons from moving forward.

If they were like the Knicks, who lost six **** games with the Celtics, the management might still try to reinforce. But the gap is too big, there is no need for reinforcement, it seems that the direction is wrong.

In this case, it is meaningless to think about reinforcement.

This year's match against the Knicks took away their chance to meet the Celtics again.

This is not what they want.

Both teams, aiming to beat the Celtics, met here. It is helpless. At the same time, this is also an opportunity.

A chance to prove yourself.

If they can beat the Knicks, it means at least they still have the strength to be the second child in the East. Now that they have this strength, they naturally have to stay dormant. If one day the Celtics are hit by a wave of injuries, won't they be able to stand up and be the masters?

On the contrary, if they are not the opponents of the Knicks, then they should do what they should do. It is better to plan for the future as early as possible.

Although the Knicks have proved in the regular season that their style of play is the natural enemy of the Pistons, it is only the regular season after all.

It has to be proved again in the playoffs to fully prove that the Pistons' team building method is wrong.

So, in Game1, the head coaches of both sides saw each other.

Daly put on a four-court lineup, ready to fight against the Knicks, but was destroyed by the latter's outside shot.

Wilson and Ellis, their shots are more accurate than the other.

They didn't leave room for the Pistons to make amends.

Why is it difficult for the insiders in the small ball era to survive and have few rebounds? One is that modern insiders are basically players with strong mobility, which is the need for changing defenses, rotations, and assisting defenses. That's exactly how Garnett played with the Celtics, and the kind of play that took Garnett, who had long averaged 13 rebounds per game, down to 9 rebounds per game.

Second, the number of three-point shots is increasing.

A large number of three-pointers, even if they miss, most of the rebounds generated are long rebounds out of the control of the inside.

This is the key to the avalanche of inside rebound data in the small ball era.

It is also the key to the Knicks killing the Pistons.

What is the reason they gave up defending the three-pointer? Unable to defend, and the three-point shooting rate is low. Instead of working hard to defend, it is better to bet that the opponent will not make a shot. The average team will try to make a shot and forget it if it doesn't make it.

The Knicks are different.

They continued to shoot if they couldn't make a shot, and they created many long rebounds for this. The Pistons' frontcourt, which could not shrink, was completely out of control of these long rebounds.

Can't control long rebounds, can't keep up with people, can't defend three-pointers... All the flaws in the Pistons' plan have become the key points for the Knicks to explode.

At the end of the first half, 67 to 47.

The difference of 20 points was ruthlessly written on the scorer.

Chuck Daly said somberly: "The performance of the Knicks has always been within our expectations. What we did not expect is that they will play their own basketball steadfastly. This just shows that they are a strong team. The team, they have their own basketball philosophy."

Louis had a relaxed smile on his face.

The reporter asked him: "Did you think in advance that you would lead by 20 points at halftime?"

"of course not."

"But we thought about leading by 40 points at halftime." Louie's joke made the interview atmosphere very comfortable.

The female reporter smiled brightly and said, "In this way, you still have to work hard."

"Yeah, unless we can lead by 40 points at halftime, we can't relax." Louie's "40 points" joke was not meant to embarrass the opponent, "The Pistons are a tenacious team, just like them The same as the head coach. I believe this round of the series will not have garbage time, we will fight until the last second."

The Pistons' counterattack in the second half did not surprise the Knicks.

They changed their style of play, abandoning the deadly four-court frontcourt, and replaced it with a double backcourt and three frontcourts.

This is a typical lineup that is more common in their games.

Daly gave Joe Dumars the ultimate freedom.

The Knicks maintain a three-person cooperation model of one man staring, one man making up, and one man squatting. In addition to Dumars, the Pistons only have Iloh as a long-range threat, and the Knicks' defense has become unscrupulous.

Stockton's defense is not as good as Dumars, but he has too many little moves.

McHale's assist defense interference is the best among the Knicks' starters, and he is extremely good at this kind of assist defense interference that just doesn't get in.

In terms of ability, if the Pistons need Dumars to score, he can score, but on this timeline when Isiah Thomas doesn't wear a Pistons jersey, Dumars switched to point guard many years in advance.

He became a full-time point guard.

As a point guard, his offensive threat is not bad, but his most powerful thing is that he uses his offensive threat to instigate the whole team, which looks a lot like a commander like Nash.

The Pistons need a Curry-style off-ball player.

Only a Curry-style off-ball player, who can walk without the ball and catch the ball, can have a half-quarter solo climax to end the game early, can make up for the current lack of firepower of the Pistons, and allow Dumars to find the opponent's open pass, Lead the whole team in a wave.

The Knicks' approach gave Dumars a headache. He can't shoot comfortably, the mid-range throw is covered by McHale, and he will meet Ewing when he breaks into the basket; give the ball to others on the weak side, and the Knicks' defense can be rotated.

In desperation, he could only rely on singles to make strong shots.

In the third quarter, the Pistons had a good offensive efficiency, scoring 26 points, but the team only had 3 assists.

Dumars even singled out Hornacek during the period, throwing a 22-footer.

He is good at throwing shots after breakthroughs, and long-range shots are in the skill bag but not commonly used.

At the end of the third quarter, Louis let Ewing and Oakley lead the inside line, placed Hornacek, Wilson and Rodman on the outside, and the Knicks used unlimited defenses.

This one destroyed the small cooperation of the piston.

The Pistons continued to find no opportunities to pass the ball, so Dumars, Dantley, Illo and Yang had to take turns to make strong shots.

When the fourth quarter began, Louis let Ellis back into the game, and the Knicks started a wave of storms that took the game away.

Wilson played psychological warfare to defend Ilo. At that time, Ilo had missed three shots in a row. After being emptied, his teammates passed the ball to him for a three-pointer and missed.

Wilson made a fast break at the start, Ewing caught the rebound and threw a long-range backcourt swing, Wesha layup, and the Knicks led by 20 points again.

Dumars breaks past Stockton and is blocked by Ewing.

McHale saw that Malone had a gap for a moment, and Dumars attempted to pass, but was copied by McHale's long arm who was in place quickly.

Turning around to fight back, Wilson was flanked in the high position of the frontcourt, and Rodman, who was chasing the fast break, dunked and led by 22 points.

Ewing once again enveloped Dumars with a dominant defense. The height gap and position were too poor. Dumars couldn't throw the shot, so he had to dribble the ball one more step before making a shot, but Ewing still blocked it.

The situation was at stake, and Daly replaced Mahon with James Worthy, who was exhausted, and handed over all the burden to the inside line.

However, Dumars, who has not rested for a second from the beginning to now, has gone wrong.

Perhaps due to lack of energy, he had a problem with his dribbling and was caught by Stockton on the spot.

The dribble was interrupted, and the Knicks' defensive counterattack was surprisingly fast.

The Knicks led by 26 points.

"New York may use this offensive to secure victory in one fell swoop!"

Billy Cunningham hasn't spoken for a long time.

Now he's a bit like John Havlicek who was invited to be a commentator. After Havlicek retired that year, he briefly served as a commentator before being given up by CBS.

Generally speaking, for a superstar of his level, as long as his professional ability is not too bad, it doesn't matter if his eloquence is not good. The TV station is aiming at his fame. But CBS was wrong. Havlicek didn't speak at all at the beginning of the game, letting his partner sing a one-man show throughout.

After a few games, Havlicek's commentator career was over.

Cunningham is a lot like Havlicek right now.

Seeing the Pistons being beaten so violently by the Knicks, Louis's rotation and on-the-spot strategy, not to mention suppressing Daly, is no problem to say that he has the upper hand.

Cunningham could only remain silent.

Because...Dumas missed a long-range 3-pointer.

Wilson grabbed the long rebound ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and threw it to the fast-down Ellis.

Dell Ellis hit a three-pointer at the top of the arc.

Madison Square Garden reached its climax, the fans shouted, and the Pistons requested a timeout.

Dick Stockton said earnestly: "Whether you admit it or not, Lu is a good coach."

"Before he came to New York, this team was disrespected, the team's stars were bleak, and there was no future. After he came, within four years, the Knicks rose again and became a respectable team."

"I don't like the New York Times, just like they don't like Lu, but even the New York Times admits that Lu is the Messiah of this team!"

Stockton wasn't insulting Cunningham, he was routinely praising the work of the dominant team's coach during a timeout.

I don't know what Cunningham's thoughts are.
