The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 642 don\'t let them live

,!

Ewing's election as MVP has very clear historical significance for New York.

The last Knicks player to be elected MVP was also a center, Willis Reed, who represented New York's professional basketball into its first peak period.

Louis has repeatedly emphasized this concept. He believes that the Knicks' two championships in the early 1970s promoted the commercialization of professional basketball far more than the Celtics' 11 championships in 13 years.

If Auerbach learns about his idea, there is a high probability that he will be blacklisted.

But that's the way it is, and only a championship-winning New York can bring professional basketball to the nation.

This turned out to be correct.

After winning the championship in New York, the NBA's commercialization trend began to emerge. In the 1960s, the unimaginable annual salary of 500,000, 600,000...millions of annual salary gradually emerged.

Ewing's MVP sparked nostalgia for many.

The Knicks suddenly became the most popular professional sports team in New York City, matched only by the Mets.

The Mets, like the Knicks, are the No. 1 title favorites in MLB, but they don't have the same title prospects as the Knicks.

Compared with an uncertain future, realistic New Yorkers are more willing to pay for the Knicks.

Today, when the islanders are depressed, the Yankees are doing all kinds of deaths, the Giants make fans sit up crazy, and even the famous editorial "Look at me again" by the Times, the rise of the Knicks has changed many things.

Louis himself does not feel much about this urban effect, because he has long been used to it.

The series enters Game 2, and Chuck Daly isn't about to let it go.

His assistant coach Brendan Malone (Brendan Malone) provided a vision for the Knicks' pick-and-roll tactics: "Unlimited substitution defense to ensure that the pick-and-roll tactics will not cause more play and less dilemma. Appropriately abandon the perimeter defense. , I fully believe that defensive strength can reduce the touch of the outside line."

This is very close to the concept of changing defenses in the small ball era.

In Game 2, after the Pistons made this move, Louie handed the ball to Wilson with more confidence, replaced Stockton by the way, and let Hornacek start.

The first game has proved Wilson's potential as a big core with the ball. If the Pistons insist on using defense to force them to play giant stars, he can also accept it.

Moreover, no team can take care of the defense of the inner, outer and outer areas at the same time.

The Pistons have to control the middle distance, so they are bound to relax a lot from the outside line.

In the first half, the Knicks' shooters unexpectedly failed to give the Pistons a fatal response.

The Knicks' open three-pointer was not ideal, but Louis didn't even look at it. In the second half when he was behind, he clearly asked to continue his style of play in the first half.

The Pistons studied Wilson from all angles.

But they couldn't figure out what kind of XX law Wilson had to lock him up when he had strong teammates.

When Louis saw that the defensive end of the Pistons was standing on the side with obvious strength and weakness, he would tilt his forces slightly to the strong side, and decisively called a timeout to let Wilson pay attention to the weak side.

This small misplacement was discovered by Louis and arranged. Wilson came back and made a diagonal cross to find Miller and Hornacek.

Their three-pointers gradually blossomed, giving the Pistons a huge threat.

In addition, unlimited defense is not something that ordinary teams can play.

The Knicks can play unlimited defenses because their staffing is good enough.

Almost every one of them has defensive resilience against three positions.

Just looking at the starting lineup, there are all-around switch fighters like Ewing, Wilson, and McHale, who often defend three or four positions in a game.

It is often the strikers who are strong in switching defenses. No matter how strong the defense is against the same position, if the defensive effect of the misplacement is not good, Louis will not put them on the field to participate in unlimited defenses.

But, does the piston have this configuration?

Just looking at the starting lineup, they have Dumars, who can guard three guards; Illo, in Louie's eyes, is a shrunken version of Stevens with delicate skills, and he is indeed a rare 3D; Worthy , His amazing agility gives him an advantage when switching defenses. He can switch to the third position, top the fourth position, and keep up with the slow second position.

Then, it's gone.

Aguirre is not suitable for switching defenses, and his defense has a lot of problems.

Mahon is a thug like Oakley, and he is okay as a blue-collar, but it's okay to switch defenses.

Parish is an authentic engineer-type center. He can do many things, but everything is not top-notch. He does not have the attribute of switching defenses that deviates from contemporary insider responsibilities.

It can be said that the defensive configuration of the Pistons meets the needs of contemporary defensive teams, but it is not enough to play a product of the small ball era like switching defenses.

The core requirement of a switch-type team is that the player must have sufficient single-defense ability after switching defenses. If a player has no need to switch defenses and needs to switch defenses, it is just actively exposing defensive weaknesses to the opponent.

This leads to a chain of logical relationships.

If the Knicks can't open the three-pointer, the Pistons' defense can have a good effect even if they only have three players who are suitable for the defense when someone is involved in the double-team.

After all, there is an obvious difference between the contemporary defense and the small ball era, which is that it gives enough physical contact to the offensive side. The more intense the confrontation, the greater the impact of double-teaming on the offensive player.

Therefore, in the first half, the Knicks couldn't open shots and fell behind, but Louis insisted on his strategy and let the players continue to play like that.

Because he knew in his heart that as long as the outside shot was opened, the Pistons' routine would come to an end.

As soon as the shooter opened, the Pistons' defense fell into chaos.

Single defense, Wilson will blow up any of them. No matter what Daly does, the Pistons' defense will be affected by him.

Double-teaming is like choosing one of two bottles of poison, 50% of which will attack, and will die after the attack.

Because as long as the Knicks start scoring three-pointers, the scores will go up.

Three minutes before the end of the third quarter, 84 to 74, the Knicks led by 10 points.

The Pistons replaced Dumars and Worthy to rest, but Louie left Wilson on the court and waved his hand to let Ainge, Rodman, Stevens, and Saley play.

Seeing this lineup, MSG was overwhelmed.

Woody Allen in the front row shook his fist and shouted, "Don't let them live!"

Everyone knows what it means for these five people to stand on the field.

Murder is pressing, Louie's famous work, the trump card that destroyed the Celtic dynasty, is now offered to play against the second-ranked defensive team in the league.

Can it work?

"Aha! LittleLu opened a bottle of Coke, it seems that the suspense of this game is about to disappear!"

Groom Albert was the first announcer to discover that Louie drank Coke when he was in a relaxed mood.

Later in the game, Louie drank Coke and turned into a cigar-smoking victory declaration similar to Auerbach's.

As the spokesperson of Coca-Cola, they also specially produced an exclusive Coke for Louis.

Of course, the taste has not changed, just changed the name, a typical change of skin without changing the medicine, and a lot of people think it tastes better than the original cola.

Louie didn't expect that drinking Coke would turn into a declaration of victory.

Chuck Daly was disturbed to see the Knicks murder press team on the field.

Although the Knicks rarely used murder to press this season, every time they used it, they lived up to the name of "murder" and killed their opponents on the spot without mercy.

At this time, no matter what they did, whether to let the starting lineup come back or let the second lineup stand up, it was in accordance with Louis's wishes.

You let the starters top, do they still have the strength to fight the Knicks in the fourth quarter?

If you want to gamble on the second team, then the suspense of this game is likely not to last until the fourth quarter.

A single thought from the coaching staff can determine the outcome of the entire game.

Daly's decision was to leave Dumars on the court and let Worthy rest.

But he still made a wrong decision.

The Pistons left two insiders on the field, one is Mahon and the other is James Edwards.

It's an accepted fact: Traditional insiders are worthless when murder looms. If the inside line does not have the ability to hold the ball directly against the defense, it is better to have five guards or forwards.

Even if you want to protect the rebounds, it is enough to keep one Mahon. Letting Edwards be on the court is simply a crime against the ball holder.

From the first round, Wilson, who took most of the Knicks' output as a big core tonight, defended Yilo strongly, forcing him to drop the ball.

In less than 5 seconds, the Pistons made a mistake.

Wilson picked up his ball and passed it to Ainge.

Angie made a three-pointer directly from the outside.

Missed, but Rodman grabbed the offensive rebound and made a tip-up.

After that, Dumars was flanked and was saved by the referee after a seven-second stalemate.

The referee called Rodman a defensive foul, and then the Pistons got a chance to serve out of bounds.

Terrible defensive pressure, the determination to fight off your off-ball man, and the all-round threat to the man on the ball.

Wilson's ferocious defense on the ball, Rodman's terrifying flanking, Salley's small forward-like movement area and Ainge's aggressive nature, plus Stevens, a Spider-Man who can switch to five positions.

It's never been a secret why Murder Press is so hard to crack.

"If the biggest player in the team takes the lead and puts all his strength into defense ~www.mtlnovel.com~ constantly hitting the ground for the ball, won't the others be infected and follow suit?"

Zhao Yuanzheng asked a question.

"It's true," Tomjanovich said. "The performance of the players on the court will affect each other."

Judging from the lineup, this is not the peak period of the murder press.

The murderous tight lineup that buried the Celtics last season was the pinnacle. The expansion of the league weakened the strength of the Knicks, but their murderous tight lineup can still fulfill the mission of "decision".

There was only one reason—because Wilson had become the member, the nucleus, the leader of the Murder Press.

Within two minutes, the Pistons were beaten 9-0.

The original 10-point lag turned into 19 points in a blink of an eye. It was too late for Daly to call a timeout at this time.

Louis put the Coke on the chair and patted Wilson: "Benj, hold back, don't hit too hard."

Wilson gasped excitedly: "Coach, I can't help it."
