The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 579 Sweep?
Louie couldn't have let his opponent crammed him to beat him, even if it was just one game in a series.
After several games, Louie found that Jordan played his best against Wilson.
This does not mean that Wilson's defense is the worst, because there is a high possibility that "Jordan will fight Wilson when he meets Wilson".
Rodman was the most effective wing guarding Jordan.
And what about the inside line that defended Jordan best? Surprisingly, from the big data point of view, it turned out to be John Salley.
Against Salley, Jordan shot just 38 percent from the field.
So, when Louie saw Adelman let Jordan and the glider finish the first quarter and continue to play the second quarter, he replaced Wilson and Ewing with Rodman and Salley.
The Knicks may be the only team in the league that has replaced the core player and the team has performed better.
Rodman sticks to Jordan.
He doesn't have much to do but one thing to keep Jordan from catching the ball in his comfort zone.
To do this, he needs to spread out his octopus-like wingspan, entangled like a mad dog that bites and doesn't let go.
Rodman's stick-up defense, his back-up defense in other positions, and Seley's precise switching made Jordan an orphan.
Desperate to deal cards, Drexler was forced to show his influence.
In the first round, he chose to call McHale, who was out of the pick-and-roll dislocation, and missed.
A minute later, the Knicks missed a three-pointer, the long rebound was controlled by the Blazers, and Drexler counterattacked and dunked—this was his rare bright spot.
In the next round, Jordan moved bravely and pushed Rodman away. Drexler's pass was timely, but as soon as the ball arrived, Sely, who was on the defense, knocked Jordan over in time, which was considered an early foul.
In a basketball world where there are no flagrant fouls, Selley's performance of knocking over Jordan did not constitute a technical foul and was therefore counted as a common foul.
Doing so not only effectively kills the opponent, but also can have a considerable negative impact on the opponent's mind.
Jordan stood up angrily, and all Sally left him was a smiling face and innocent eyes.
Is he really innocent?
Louis felt that Sally was like a black version of Ranbir who was not so bad-hearted and would be guilty of doing bad things, but who should be ruthless.
Compared to that vicious dog, Sally was a good man.
The difference between him and Ranbir is that a black hand is an active trigger skill, while the other is a passive trigger.
Drexler carefully looked for the dislocation, and after the singles breakthrough failed, he again successfully passed the ball to Jordan. Jordan broke through Rodman, and it was Seley's supplementary defense. Jordan knew that Seley's defense was difficult to deal with, but out of dissatisfaction with the opponent and anger, his basketball IQ was zeroed. He forgot about passing the ball and just wanted to find Seley head-on to come back.
Sally's expression was terrified, as if he knew that he had angered the trapeze.
Jordan's anger couldn't fall, and on the flank, McHale suddenly appeared, and his wingspan of more than 2.4 meters intercepted his attack.
"I've never seen such a good defense in any other game. The Knicks are not only a rude team, but a very defensive team!"
The Knicks' defense made Memorial Coliseum silent.
After Jordan missed, Rodman fought back like a long-distance runner.
The ball went to Drexler again, and this time, he grasped the details of the Knicks' pick-and-roll love to switch defenses, and wanted to use his athleticism against Selly.
Salley has already accumulated one foul in the statistics, and if he commits another foul, maybe the Knicks should make a substitution.
Glider clearly sees Sally as a small character who can be easily broken.
Under Louie, Selly has been playing consistently over the years, adding a little bit of weight without compromising his speed and agility.
He also has rookie speed now.
If you put him in a running competition with a glider, he will definitely not be able to outrun the glider. But in the process of breaking through, he was fast enough to stick to the glider. The glider grabbed the ball and wanted to make a celestial lever action.
At this moment, it was as if Dr. J's soul was possessed.
But Sally, with unexpected physicality, jumped up and covered the glider's ball.
The Knicks fought back again.
The next round, Drexler took the lead. He ignored Jordan, who was asking for the ball from the perimeter, and asked Jordan to give him the pick-and-roll. He wanted to use Jordan's shooting ability to dismantle and confuse the Knicks defense.
Rodman switched defenses decisively.
Drexler thought he could blow Rodman's defense, and he did. As a result, Drexler, who had a bad mentality, was caught by the Knicks' pocket array and couldn't even pick up the ball. He made mistakes and lost points.
Except for the first quarter, Jordan's
He didn't perform well in the game. In addition to being unable to catch the ball in the comfort zone, being defended by many people, and being fouled immediately even if he had a chance to score... In addition to some chance **** that should have been scored, he missed shots because of his bad mentality. .
In addition to Jordan's inability to maintain a precise mid-range in G2, there was also the problem that Drexler, who was feeding him the ball, couldn't make the right decisions against the Knicks' defense.
As an arc top dealer, he suddenly couldn't make good cakes, cut off the food supply, and the power of other teammates was reduced by more than half, which is why the Blazers collapsed in the second quarter.
Of course, Drexler's erratic performance can be defended. This is the result of the Knicks bullying him for not having a range and forcing him to fight with a pocket formation. Because the restricted area was crowded, it caused him to fall immediately after taking off.
In the fourth quarter, Jordan refused to trust his teammates.
A man played with the ball, but his touch disappeared, and the breakthrough encountered a pocket array.
He couldn't make a long shot, he didn't make a mid-range shot, he was flanked by the basket and had a rare chance to dunk. The Knicks' violent foul would bring him to reality.
The third battle that determines the future of the season, if it loses, it is bound to let Adelman step down.
In the last seven minutes, Adelman gave up.
He decided to learn from others' skills to control them, and selected a lineup headed by Jordan, Drexler, Xavier McDaniel, Jerome Curcy, and Larry Nance to give the Knicks a full-court tight end. force.
This frightened Louis.
Not scared, but frightened.
This could be the Blazers' version of a murder press, and unlike the Knicks, their murder press is not as tacit and vicious as the Knicks.
It can be seen that they have never practiced according to this routine at all.
It was another "cramping", but this one was just right.
The Blazers have the talent to execute defense of this intensity on any team.
The Knicks didn't expect this move and dealt with it hastily.
Originally thought that it would be won as easily as the first two games, and looked at the championship with an absolute advantage of 3 to 0. Now there is suspense.
Louie watched the Blazers press for a few minutes and didn't see any pattern.
So, by the time he countered with the full-court press he learned from the Celtics, the game changed.
The Blazers' defense against the Knicks forced the Knicks to be aggressive in the Eastern Conference finals.
In order to defend his position, Wilson led a counterattack.
Rude action~www.mtlnovel.com~ The ultimate confrontation, with multiple people falling to the ground every round.
Today's referees are not as lenient as the Eastern Conference finals, and all contacts suspected of fouls are called fouls.
The Blazers take advantage of the home court, but the Knicks have a large number of people and they don't worry about fouling.
On the contrary, it is the Trailblazers. The quality of the flanking five-person team is unmatched, but if there is a reduction in personnel, no one can make up for the backup personnel.
The Trailblazers, who tried to use magic against magic, failed under the pressure of Knicks' brutal murder.
The result of this head-to-head confrontation ended with Oakley elbowing Jordan, triggering a conflict.
Jordan played the "worst" game of the series.
"Only" scored 29 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, far less efficient and sharp than the first two games.
The Blazers and Knicks seem to have an all-around gap.
gaps in the coaching staff;
The gap in the depth of the lineup;
Psychological gaps, as well as experience gaps.
Obviously, both sides are playing in the finals for the first time, and the intensity brought by the Knicks is higher than them.
The Blazers couldn't find their comfort at this intensity.
The incompetence of the coaching staff is the most dazzling part. Under the circumstance that the Knicks have finished playing the lineup, they have not yet prepared a corresponding routine for the Knicks. All the "highlights" in the series seem to come out of their heads .
Louie had thought in advance that the series would end easily, but he didn't expect it to be so easy.
The team that swept Jordan 4-0 in the finals? My mother... The more Louie thinks about it, the less real it is.
