The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 666 Because he is stable, so he is unrestrained
,!
On November 1, 1989, the opening game of the new NBA season officially started.
The league's opening opponent for the Knicks is the Portland Trail Blazers, who lost competitiveness due to Jordan's fracture last season.
In fact, after Jordan was injured, Drexler played an excellent performance and was selected for the first team, but failed to lead the Blazers back to the finals.
Because Paul Allen prevented Jordan from coming back, this also caused a rift in their relationship.
But this kind of crack will not be magnified suddenly. It may remain like this forever, or it may suddenly be torn into a huge wound one day.
At Madison Square Garden, many stars can be seen.
The most eye-catching star was Michael Jackson, the king of pop. He not only came to watch the game, but also sang "The Star-Spangled Banner Never Falls" as a singer at the opening ceremony.
The other is Louis' wife.
At home, she's Louis' Lorraine Molina, and outside, she's Monica Bellucci.
She's now super popular, with Lorraine seen as a **** symbol thanks to her performance in the first season of "Baywatch."
Each episode of the nightly series is watched by nearly 7 million viewers.
This is a terrific data, because its positioning is the night file, that is, the time period from 1:00 am to 3:00 am.
Even so late, there are still 7 million men who choose to watch - not excluding individual women - and these people are attracting more people to watch through the word-of-mouth effect like tap water.
The first season of "Baywatch" is not over yet, but it has been renewed, and the producer said that Monica Bellucci will be added to the subsequent episodes, which is exciting and exciting. Fans of the author are looking forward to her new work "Home Alone" next year.
Now, she just sits in the family area and lets CBS keep giving her shots from every angle.
"As far as I can remember, this was the first time the Knicks didn't have a significant inside advantage against the Blazers."
The commentary partners sent by CBS are Brent Musberg and Hubie Brown.
That's exactly what Brown said.
Because the Knicks' starters are Stockton, Miller, Wilson, John Selley, and Sam Bowie.
The Trail Blazers are Terry Porter, Jordan, Drexler, Larry Nance and Rick Schmitz.
With Jordan returning from injury, Drexler and Nance entering their prime, and Schmitz adapting to the rhythm and confrontation of the NBA, this year's Trail Blazers are stronger than any previous year.
But there is still a cloud over their heads.
That was the Lakers, and the much-anticipated David Robinson finally officially joined the Lakers after two years.
Compared with previous years, this year's Lakers are also an obvious team from the 1990s. Except for the tragedies, the team is full of young people who have not yet reached their peak.
Midfield, Louie shakes hands with Rick Pitino.
"Lu, I hope you can know that our defense this year will be far stronger than last year." Pitino said solemnly.
As long as Pitino is still the coach of the Blazers, Louis will not really regard the Blazers as a serious problem.
"I know."
Moreover, Louis would also paralyze Pitino.
The best thing to do for someone who has a perfect hand but is playing with the wrong strategy (obsessed with full-court pressing) is to let him immerse himself in a dream.
Louis returned to his own court, and finally explained to the starting players: "Other things can be careless, but rotations are absolutely not; everything can be careless, and rebounding is absolutely not!"
In terms of staffing, the Knicks, who temporarily lost Ewing, have many similarities with the Trail Blazers.
They all rely on the talent of the wing players, and their defense is fierce. Since the Knicks currently lack Ewing, and the Blazers have monsters like Jordan on the opposite side, their defense must do two things well, protecting the basket and pinching key players. The key person is of course Jordan, but Jordan is not an iron-headed kid who has to fight hard to the end after being flanked.
Because he can pass the ball, this is a test of what Louie calls rotation.
Defensive rotation, the emphasis is on discipline. Unless a murderous press is used, Louis does not like to play defense like the coaches in the small ball era.
Because switching defenses means that a large number of dislocations will be explained.
Giving the wrong position should make the opponent pay the corresponding price. This year, the Knicks have added many small traps to loosen the position than in the past. Therefore, he is more willing to use traps to entrap the opponent's core players than to use the flank's athletic ability to perform defense changes. If the Blazers players can pass the ball, it depends on how well the players' defensive rotation does.
That's what they've been working on throughout training camp.
Rebounds are easy to understand.
The Knicks attach great importance to rotation, while the Trail Blazers, a pressing team, have always focused on switching defenses. In this case, protecting rebounds is key.

For the opening jump ball, Bowie's opponent was Rick Schmitz, who was 2.24 meters tall.
There is not much suspense. In recent years, Bowie, who has been plagued by injuries, has a lot of decline in jumping ability. Schmitz has an advantage in height and bounce, and easily won the ball for the Blazers.
The Blazers' offense in the first round was a little anxious, and Porter quickly passed to Jordan.
Jordan shoved the ball to Drexler again, who didn't notice Wilson's lightning-quick recovery, and directly gave a big cap from behind.
Salley just picked up the rebound, and the Blazers immediately pressed the audience.
Salley hands the ball to Wilson.
Facing the double-teaming of Drexler and Jordan, Wilson should have passed the ball, but he suddenly made up his mind, accelerated, smashed the arms of the two and went straight forward.
When the trapeze and the glider caught up again and formed a second double-team, Wilson had already rushed past the LOGO.
He protects the ball behind him with adept ball handling skills.
Wilson showed the results of his summer training -- improved control by at least one level.
This is not prominent in the training camp.
Wilson is always like this, hiding in the training camp, and giving the coaching staff an unexpected hit in the official game.
He molested the Blazers' "aircraft combination" in this way, which naturally won him applause in MSG.
But at the same time the risks are huge.
Reggie Miller followed Bowie's screen to the top of the key and Wilson made the pass.
The former scored a three-pointer and scored the Knicks' first goal of the night.
3 to 0
"Michael, your defense seems to have regressed." Wilson challenged flamboyantly, "Could it be that your injury hasn't healed quickly?"
Jordan looked over grimly.
Wilson is one of the few who provoked him when he debuted, but he has not been psychologically shadowed by him for a long time.
Because Wilson is like an AI that keeps exploring and learning through failure, every time you defeat him, he will come back stronger in the next duel.
When Ewing and McHale started, the Knicks often started with 2HighRip tactics.
"2High" is a series of tactics, all of which are centered on the inside.
When Bowie started, the Knicks would hand him the ball and give him a few seconds to look for his opportunity.
Wilson and Jordan's off-the-ball confrontation reached the extreme. If they want to fight with this intensity to the end of the game, both of them will be exhausted after the game.
As a result, the ever-running Wilson was the perfect bait.
The Blazers didn't see it, and cared too much about the positions of Wilson and Miller. Unexpectedly, John Sely ran a diagonal line perfectly after a high screen.
Bowie threw an alley-oop in an instant.
2HighFOREHEAD (inside empty catch)!
Sely easily catches the ball and dunks.
5 to 2
"Good job, big man." Louis stood on the sidelines and high-fived Bowie.
"My honor, coach." Bowie happily clapped Louis' hand.
It wasn't until today that he understood what it meant to play for this team.
Hubie Brown commented: "Many people say that the Blazers are the Knicks of the West. I don't agree with this view. Although the personnel structure of the two teams has many similarities, there are still differences in essence. The most important point Offensively, the Knicks are a unit, and the Blazers are not. Pitino is not as good at training the offense as Leader Lu."
The Blazers let Drexler push the ball all the way.
Because last season when Jordan was reimbursed, he averaged 25+8+7 per game as a point forward, which made people see his potential as a point forward.
Drexler could tell at a glance that the Knicks' defense in the center had major flaws.
So instead of slowing down, he continued to accelerate.
Miller, who was facing him, could hardly stop his breakthrough.
Drexler passed smoothly and came to the paint area to prepare for dunks.
Just when he thought everything was ready and he only needed to raise his hand, Sely and Bowie appeared at the same time.
"I really want to know if people's brains stop moving when they are moving at high speed." Tomjanovich joked, "How did he step into such an obvious trap?"
"Didn't you see the momentum of his rushing up just now? That guy, can you give up without a dunk?" Louis deeply substituted the perspective of the glider, "If it were me, I wouldn't care about traps or not, just rush in and dunk the **** It's over! It's like a **** orgasm, Rudy you know, no one can say no to a **** orgasm!"
On the other end of the field, Pitino showed strong fear of the trap that the Knicks just suddenly flashed.
Pitino's assistant coach Ernie Grunfeld (Ernie Grunfeld) said vigilantly: "It's not like a coincidence, because the timing of their help defense is too accurate, just before Clyde's momentum!"
On the other side, the Blazers had a bad offense, and the Knicks hit a chasing ball in the process of returning to defense.
The shooter was Wilson. He caught the ball in the process of following up and fast-down~www.mtlnovel.com~ and found out that the person defending him was Terry Porter. ?
"What kind of garbage switch is this?" Louis complained.
Wilson hit the ball to make it 7-2.
To be on the safe side, Pitino actually called a timeout.
According to the normal rhythm, at least the Blazers have to go through another round of offensive failure, and then the Knicks counterattack and score is a good time to call a timeout.
Calling now can only show that Pitino is too stable.
But this is incomprehensible. Since he is so stable, why would he choose such an aggressive pressing defense?
Pitino calls his system "cull," which sounds bloody, and he hopes his system will spread around the league like the Knicks' murderous press.
But he obviously has the best defensive resources, but he doesn't know how to use them.
He was steady like an old dog when he called a timeout, but he was like a rabbit when the dead ball was placed.
So this wave is because he is stable, so he is unrestrained?
