The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 618 Butcher

,!

Whether in past or present life, in basketball, Louie has only seen one person who can be described as Hannibal in "The Silence of the Lambs."

That man is Jordan. He is a killer who will take your heart out and will mercilessly kill you at the crucial moment if you give him the chance.

In the timeline Louie is more familiar with, Jordan was undefeated in the Finals.

But now, he has failed. Moreover, it was swept away without dignity.

If any player is swept in the playoffs, as long as he still wants to be in history, this will be a stain that will accompany his life, let alone this happened in the finals?

To this day, Louis no longer thinks that Jordan will become the goat of the NBA in this world.

Because the most important thing in the conditions for Jordan to be elected as goat in the eyes of most people-perfection-was broken.

However, this is not necessarily a bad thing for Jordan. In the original timeline, although he harvested the 90s like a conqueror, he never had an opponent who could push him to the limit like the black and white duo in the 80s. He was so bored that after finishing his first three-peat, he chose to play baseball in the minor leagues despite the fact that he was still in his prime.

It is difficult to prove with data how much this hurts the game of basketball itself, and it seriously weakens Jordan himself.

But in this world, he has an opponent.

This opponent is not a specific player, but the Knicks under Louis.

They have the same characteristics as the Bad Boys Legion, but there are differences.

The difference is Louis, he has no other skills, but he is good at planning, calculating, and taking precautions. He will make up for what the team lacks. He is determined to turn the Knicks into the most successful team after the Celtics. He will crush Jordan team as its mission to cross over.

Now, Louis saw that anger was burning in Jordan's eyes.

How fierce fighting spirit and exuberant murderous intent?

Louis saw an almost pathological competitiveness in those dangerous pupils.

That's why, when Jordan came up to steal two consecutive goals from the Knicks and started a 4-0 start, Louis had no other reaction.

He is admiring it.

"Coach, MJ looks like he's going to get 10 steals." Zhao Yuanzheng reminded Louis that the situation is not good.

Louie waved his hand and called to Stockton, "Steady, John."

The full-court press under Jordan's leadership can be regarded as ineffective.

They didn't complete another steal, and Stockton drove the ball upfield and passed to Ewing in the low post.

Ewing's offense increased every time he faced the Blazers.

Because he has an absolute advantage inside.

Jordan came to help defend like a cheetah, and he didn't forget to use his wingspan to cover Ewing's passing route.

Even for Jordan in 1988, in Louie's eyes, there were no flaws except for the three-pointer.

What's more, not being able to shoot three-pointers is not a defect when you don't meet the Knicks.

However, no matter how good his defense is, it cannot avoid the negligence of others.

Clyde Drexler was a star player who struggled under Pitino.

Pitino asked them to put a lot of full-court pressure on their opponents every game.

Jordan could do it, he couldn't.

In the Knicks' starting lineup tonight, Miller played at the third position against Drexler. Drexler has always had a low defensive intensity. Long before Pitino arrived, he often missed defenses in games, and his off-ball defensive attention was particularly poor. The team that most encourages shooters to shoot three-pointers, in a sense, for the Blazers, the shooters on the weak side are the most likely points to explode.

Drexler's poor defensive awareness allowed Miller to sniff for a shot.

This natural killer received Ewing's pass at the top of the arc, raised his hand, and shot before the glider defense arrived!

"Shua!"

"Reggie Miller has the style of Dale Ellis." Stockton solemnly introduced, "When he entered the league in his first year, he was able to start in the talented Knicks. Little thing."

As soon as the words fell, Larry Nance staged an alley-oop cooperation with Drexler by virtue of his amazing physical fitness.

6 to 3

This scene made Louis fly into a rage.

He angrily accused Rodman: "Dennis, do you still want to get dpoy? Don't you want to start anymore? What about your **** defense? Where were you just now? Didn't you **** wake up? "

Louis stood on the sidelines and blasted Rodman, and tonight's referee, Jim Clark, a rookie referee who joined the league, wanted to establish his majesty: "Lu, control your emotions."

"It's none of your **** business if I scold my people?" Louis knew that the other party was a rookie, so he didn't show any face at all, and snarled directly.

Clark was completely overwhelmed by Louie's vicious face. This is his first season as a referee, and he doesn't want to have conflicts with the well-known coach in the industry.

"I just want you to calm down, Coach Lu."

"I influenced you?"

"No?"

"Mr. Referee, watch my mouth shape." Louis repeated that sentence.

Regardless of whether Clark left an impression on Louis, anyway, Rodman dared not be careless anymore.

If Louis is called a technical foul by the referee for scolding him, will he have good fruit in the future?

Fortunately, tonight's referee is a jerk!

Rodman suddenly felt that he was the luckiest person in the world. Referees are generally difficult to deal with and like to defend their authority. But for a rookie like Clark, his first thought is to maintain the stability of the situation.

Veteran referees know that once you are afraid of making things big, opportunists like Louie will take full advantage of your weakness.

The Blazers' defense is still tight.

This round, they didn't defend the full-court press.

Jordan and Cauchy stayed in the midfield position to lead the defense, and the others remained vigilant.

Louie's gestures, however, were clear.

Rodman sets a screen for Miller in the high post.

Stockton passes the ball, Miller takes the ball, and one person attracts the attention of many people. After he just made a three-pointer, the Blazers had difficulty taking their eyes off him.

However, Miller is also just bait.

In order to maintain the flexibility of defense, Jordan has almost no defense against Hornacek. Hornacek's point depends on other people's rotation, but the Knicks opened up the system, even if the Blazers' flanks are second to none in the league, they can't take care of them.

In the left bottom corner, Hornacek made a hollow three-pointer from the outside.

6 to 6

"That's the value of the three-point shot. The Blazers made three and they only needed two to come back."

Cunningham plays the assistant coach of the Trail Blazers in the commentary: "If the Portlanders continue to maintain such poor defensive communication, they will definitely be severely punished tonight. The coaching staff needs to emphasize the perimeter defense to the players. Through just now For those two goals, they should let the players know what the defensive focus is today."

Jordan, who was too aggressive on the defensive end, missed an open mid-range shot.

"He is not strong, so the defense will be tired."

Jordan chose to punish the Knicks for missing mid-range shots by pressing the Knicks on the spot.

Jerome Cauchy kept up with his intensity, but there was an obvious problem with Pitino's 2-2-1 full-court press.

A collegiate level game that allows seniors to fight physically against the crush.

But not in the nba.

The average level and talent pool of players are unimaginable in college basketball.

It is impossible for the Knicks to stall with just two players.

Stockton easily passed Jordan's defense by cooperating with others.

In the frontcourt, Ewing and Stockton were pulled to the weak side.

Stockton passed the ball and Porter double-teamed.

Ewing gave the ball to Stockton, who was open outside and scored a third three-pointer.

"Shua!"

"This is what I said, the Blazers must not miss the point no matter what!"

9 to 6

The situation was suddenly reversed, and Pitino still looked steady.

The players under Louis have found the feeling of the game in these few rounds.

Given that the Blazers' shooting range has not improved significantly this season, Louie still focuses on pocket formations against them.

The pocket formation is spread out on all sides, if you want to shoot a three-pointer at will, if you want to interfere with the mid-range shot, hit the penalty area? Don't even think about it.

This is also why, when Nance dunked an alley just now, Louis was in a state of despair as if he had been hit by the Millennium Kill.

He would rather be shot to death by Jordan with a defensive shot than let the Blazers hit the basket, let alone an alley-oop that can mobilize the atmosphere.

On the Blazers' wing, Jerome Cosey, who was always a full-court tight end with Jordan, ran down low.

Rodman actually lost his defensive position in order to grab the ball ~www.mtlnovel.com~.

Cauchy catches the ball and turns, with nothing but the basket in front of him.

He's going for a slam dunk.

However, just as Coxi was about to take off, Rodman caught up with his reflexes even faster and knocked him down from behind.

The referee blows his whistle.

Fans in the Memorial Stadium booed harshly as Rodman slammed Cursey, reminding them of the Finals loss.

Yes, the Knicks used this inhumane method to run over Portland.

"The anger of the Portland people is understandable. Dennis Rodman's actions are not running for the ball at all. He is a butcher!"

"You can't beat the Knicks with a full-court press alone."

The fierce side of the Knicks was once again shown in front of the opponent.

It caused such a big commotion, but Louis snorted indifferently.

Where is this?
