The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 617 murderous trapeze

,!

The team that gave the Knicks their first loss of the new season was the Los Angeles Lakers.

After the retirements of George Gervin and Duff Kersin ( ), the Lakers have turned into a true youth army.

Although they still have the oldest player in the league - Kareem Kareem.

But Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has also confirmed that he will retire next summer, so the farewell ceremony for the "how is he still playing" superstar has begun.

In addition to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the Lakers also have Magic in their prime, second-year Scottie Pippen, Kevin Johnson and solid role players Tyrone Corbin, Derek McKay and Rad Seymour. Les.

Looking at the Lakers lineup, Louis felt bad for them.

Tragedy division + Pippen + kj?

Imagine the scene of James + Westbrook + the Greek monster team whose height has been reduced by 7 cm.

In terms of strength, these three can become the team's ball-handling core.

However, how can a team have three ball-holding cores?

The biggest problem is that these three are excellent ball-handling cores, but none of them are reassuring off-ball players themselves.

If Louie were the head coach of the Lakers, he would either send Pippen and KJ away when they were worthy, or he would have to brainwash the tragedy teacher every day: "It will get better, bear with it."

Even if the Lakers lineup is deformed, if someone is willing to make sacrifices and someone is willing to substitute, there will be no major problems in the short term.

It just so happened that the magician was labeled as a tragedy in this world line, as long as he could make the team better, he was willing to sacrifice.

Both KJ and Pippen are in the second grade. Of course, he can't compete with the tragedy teacher, and he must be a substitute.

Therefore, the tragic division gave up the ball, and kj came off the bench to lead the second team.

Pippen has shown considerable potential, scoring 17+7+7 comprehensive data in this game.

But what allowed the Lakers to win the game was the accurate long-range shot of the tragic master and the thunderous counterattack of KJ.

107 to 100

The Knicks' defense failed to limit the Lakers, and their offense did not play well.

So they could only swallow their first defeat of the season with a gap of 7 points.

The Knicks' nine-game winning streak was ended, but that wasn't the end of their trip to the West.

Thanksgiving this year is November 24th.

The Knicks still have one more game to play before Thanksgiving.

After playing the Lakers, the Knicks diverted to Oregon.

The Thanksgiving opponent prepared by the league for the Knicks is the Portland Trail Blazers, the runner-up of last season.

"Littlelu and I are old acquaintances, you know, our coaching philosophy is very similar."

The Blazers' new head coach Rick Pitino talked about his friendship with Louie, and it was a relish.

Unlike his own head coach's approach of actively seeking friendship, Jordan has a vicious hostility towards the Knicks: "It would be interesting if they could taste a losing streak in Portland."

The Blazers under Pitino completely abandoned the open offense during the Adelman period.

Louis' success in New York convinced Pitino that his theory could be successful in the nba.

So he has been brainwashing Jordan and others since the first day he took office.

"You lost to the Knicks because your defense didn't plan."

"You need to press all the way."

"Only a full-court press can get you guys to beat the Knicks."

"Don't forget how the Knicks used the full-court press to destroy their opponents."

"littlelu's full-court press came from me..."

Jordan has reason to believe that Pitino will save the future of the Blazers. Therefore, in the first 8 games of the season, he completely put down his body and devoted himself to the full-court pressing strategy led by Pitino.

"33 full-court presses per game in 8 games?"

"Forced 22.4 turnovers per game?"

"And MJ is still the league's leading scorer?"

The pioneer information presented by Zhao Yuanzheng shocked Louis again and again.

Honestly, are these good numbers?

What Pitino thinks, he doesn't know, but judging from this data, he is draining Jordan and his teammates.

An average of 33 full-court presses per game, which means that every 2-3 rounds, the opponent is pressed once.

Don't think that this is awesome, this is not ncaa, this is nba, and each season has to play 82 regular season games.

Even for the Knicks, the murder press is a bottom-of-the-box thing, and the regular season either doesn't come out, or it comes out to solve the battle in a few minutes.

Pitino treats the full-court press like man-to-man, and doesn't treat the players as pure human beings.

Surprisingly, with this defensive intensity, Jordan not only leads the steals per game, but also maintains the leading scoring position.

If any player can stick to this method for an entire season without injury, it must be Jordan.

Except for Jordan, Louis does not think of the second person.

Against the Trail Blazers, Wilson will continue to truce.

Therefore, the outside world generally believes that the Knicks lack the number one scoring point in the team. When facing the Trail Blazers, if they are forced to a critical moment that requires a star to attack, benj's absence may lead to a loss.

This concern is entirely legitimate.

In the afternoon, in the stadium arranged by Portland, Louis expressed a clear attitude towards the game that night.

"The defeat against the Lakers is a thing of the past. From now on, everyone must show a tough attitude towards the Blazers." Louie said, "If you are not prepared enough and are constantly knocked to the ground, don't blame me for not reminding you." You guys, they're here to fight."

At Memorial Coliseum that night, Louie was booed.

The hostility of the fans is visible to the naked eye. They hate the Knicks.

You know, the last time the two teams met was in the finals.

The Knicks swept their beloved team 4-0.

Louie also saw the Blazers' new owner, Paul Allen, from the best seat in the room.

Allen let the fans know he meant business from day one.

He has money and is willing to spend money. Not only is he willing to spend money to improve the competitiveness of the team, but he also initiated a new arena construction plan.

He hopes that the Blazers will be competitive, and that Portland fans will have good restaurants like forums and msg to watch games.

Today, the commentary partners sent by cbs are Dick Stockton and Billy Cunningham.

These two were frequent visitors to the national live broadcast last season, and Cunningham is even more famous for not liking Louis.

Only after the Knicks reversed the Celtics, Cunningham did not attend the finals commentary due to excessive stimulation. Now, he has recovered, and according to the needs of the TV station, he continues to hold high the anti-road banner.

Stockton is a neutral commentator, and Cunningham is an announcer with tinted glasses. He must oppose Louie. Whether he wants it or the TV station arranges it, the public needs him to play this role.

Everyone likes to watch him beat Louie on the air, and then the Knicks' performance may be his words, but in most cases, Cunningham is beaten in the face.

"Billy, tell me what you think of this game." This is Stockton's classic opening line.

Cunningham was ready, and immediately said: "There is nothing worse for Littlelu than Rick Pitino entering professional basketball. What he is good at is exactly Rick's strength, and the Knicks' full-court tight It's nothing compared to Rick's 'roughd' in Portland."

"Do you think Coach Pitino will be Littlelu's nemesis?"

"Yes, in front of Rick, littlelu's 'little' is exactly what it feels like to stand in front of Rick."

Louis doesn't know how this idea came about, but he's 1.9 meters tall and has recently lost weight. He really doesn't look as big as last season, but Pitino doesn't have the habit of exercising, and he's only 183cm tall. ", that is also his "little".

However, Cunningham is already a real media person. His speeches are no longer entirely from his own heart, and he often follows the effect of the program.

Therefore, Louis will not be distracted by the other party's nonsense.

Before the start, Louie shook hands with Pitino in the center circle.

"Lu, because of you, I have the confidence to challenge professional basketball." Pitino smiled, "Let's put on a wonderful game."

Louis tried his best to ignore the metaphor in Pitino's words, "Even someone like you can succeed in the NBA."~www.mtlnovel.com~ smiled and replied: "Of course."

The game started with the following lineups:

The Knicks are Stockton, Hornacek, Miller, Rodman, Ewing.

The Blazers are Porter, Jordan, Drexler, Jerome Cosey, and Larry Nance.

The 2.2-meter center Schmitz is a substitute, which is also in line with Pitino's habits.

Because of his fascination with the full-court press, a big center like Schmitz will never be reused under him.

Letting Nance jump the ball with Ewing can be regarded as a defensive posture.

They don't expect to win jump balls, they just want to defend and show their latest.

As a result, the full-court press failed to form, and the ball was shot to Hornacek by Ewing.

Just as Hornacek took the ball, in front of him, Jordan approached like a malevolent star, collided, knocked off the ball in his hand, and stole and counterattacked for dunks.

2 to 0

"Mj is really murderous tonight!"
