The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 684 Serious trouble
,!
75 to 54
Just over halfway through the third quarter, the Lakers trailed by 21 points.
Pat Riley's timeout didn't work, and apart from the tragedies, the rest of the Lakers were in a panic. They didn't know what the right option was or what to do to get out of the current predicament.
To them, it seems that either way is wrong.
Tragedy, who has scored 18 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, is dribbling the ball calmly, with the same hand gestures as usual.
Rodman just gave him a one-meter space and shot directly.
"Shua!"
His personal 21st point, the score also became 57 to 75, and the point difference was no longer 20+.
"Dennis, don't underestimate his shot." Louis shouted. .
Tragedy's shooting moves are not good-looking, but his shooting is really accurate.
What is the concept of scoring 2 three-pointers per game with a 40% shooting rate in 1990? Only two players in the league have produced more than him.
They are the Hornets' scoring leader Dell Ellis, and the Knicks' starting second pick Reggie Miller.
However, the hit rate of these two people is not as good as that of Travis, which may be the reason why they take more shots, but Travis, as the core player, in contemporary times, one him, one Bird, one Wilson, these three are rare marksmen.
They can create space by themselves. If they can play in a team with a good space environment, they will definitely play many unexpected advantages.
Now the tragedies are chasing with three-pointers, and the Knicks are chasing back in almost the same way.
Ewing and McHale set up a high double screen for Wilson.
Wilson, who got the vacancy, was merciless and returned the tragedy division with a three-pointer.
Unlike the tragic division of the whole team, Wilson only needs to do a good job of personal offense and overall defense.
This is Wilson's 25th personal point. He has gone crazy so far against the Lakers.
Under the reminder of Louis, Rodman dared not neglect the defense of the tragedy division. It is impossible to imagine shooting three-pointers as easily and comfortably as before.
Rodman was a hound with Louie on the leash.
He asked Rodman to show his teeth, and Rodman showed his teeth.
Tragedy's singles became more and more, just like Louis' prediction in the locker room at the end of halftime, if Tragedy secretly decided to attack, there would be too many moves.
Rodman had lingering fears about the previous three-pointer, and now he dared not let it go, and used close defense. In this way, it would be much easier for the tragic master to break through him.
Tragedy divisions were singled out a lot, and it stands to reason that Louie should be happy.
But he didn't, because the Tragedian's one-on-one performance was better than expected.
In the second half of the third quarter, except for the three-pointer, the tragic master made 5 of 9 shots, and the 5 goals scored were all breakthroughs to an emergency stop halfway.
"It's too tricky!" Tomjanovich scratched his head and said, "I really can't imagine how this person is guarded!"
83 to 70
Of the 16 points the Lakers scored in the second half, the Tragedy scored 13 points and 1 assist.
In other words, all the Lakers' scores in the second half of the quarter are directly related to him.
Tomjanovich is helpless against the tragic master, and the strength of the opponent is frightening. Because the Knicks are not unprepared for the outbreak of the tragedy division, it is precisely that they have considered that the tragedy division may be singled out to take over, and arranged a lot in advance, but judging from the results, it did not work.
It is the Knicks' strategy to single out the tragedian and Rodman.
If the tragedian insists on doing so, the Knicks' plan will succeed. When formulating this plan, the Knicks' coaching staff had no idea that the tragedian could break Rodman's self-confidence with a one-handed shot.
Because the playmaker doesn't like to call the pick-and-roll, Louie's arrangement for the pick-and-roll didn't work. Facing the breakout of the playmaker, the Knicks can only formulate various defensive methods as the game progresses.
In the third quarter, Louie made the players stick to the defense method, which was Rodman's matchup, Ewing or others sticking to the penalty area.
Rodman was beaten every time, but he didn't give up because of it. He showed a strong spirit, no matter how his opponent tortured him, he would not admit defeat. With Rodman behind and Ewing in front, he also emptied his mid-range and bet on his touch.
There are strong enemies in front and chasing soldiers behind, and the Tragedy Division breaks the game at a medium distance in this case—it seems to be the most inefficient and error-tolerant offensive method—but the Tragedy Division blows up everything like a **** possessed.
At the end of the third quarter, Louie took the board and wiped all traces of it.
In the professional circle, this is equivalent to telling the players "abandon all the previous arrangements, we start from scratch".
"Since our opponent has shown his best form, we must defend him with the most serious attitude!"
Louis replaced Rodman, who was currently on four fouls, against the full-strength tragedy division for half a quarter.
Put on Alex Stevens, put on Sam Bowie at center, put Ewing at power forward, it's a two-tower formation.
Wilson kept spinning and continued to play in the fourth quarter.
As the candidate for the point guard position, Louis replaced Hornacek, who is more aggressive both offensively and defensively.
For the defense of the tragic division alone, perhaps Stevens is more suitable.
Louis was previously superstitious about Rodman's dpoy favorites, and he has not changed for a long time, but Rodman's defense is strong in flexibility, diversity, and comprehensiveness that can defend against any position.
One-on-one guarding is still an outside line like the Tragedy Master. He is more used to getting up and looking for confrontation, but these methods are not enough to defeat the Tragedy Master.
Stevens is famous for his candy defense when he debuted. He is not the best defender of the Knicks, but he is definitely the most desperate. Otherwise, Louis would not regard him as a totem figure of the Knicks.
Stevens represents the Knicks in many ways.
The most representative point is his defense.
Louie doesn't need a Rodman-style oppressive defender who stretches his teeth and claws to intimidate the opponent. What he needs is a guy like Stevens who can stick the tragedy from beginning to end.
A Stevens is only the basic part of the plan. Afterwards, as long as the Tragedy Master backs up and double-teams immediately, he calls the pick-and-roll to let the inside line decisively step forward and oppressively double-team. Also, Ewing, who is standing in the fourth position, has a defensive position from The rim mentions a small step inside the paint.
That position is the most comfortable position for Tragedy to shoot in the third quarter, and the Knicks will not let him shoot there again.
The tragedy master's breakthrough was largely useless, and he had to choose an emergency stop at a farther position to attack.
Louis was extremely targeted, causing the hit rate of the Tragedy Master to drop.
However, his teammates have awakened.
There is a price to be paid for such a defense against the tragedy. Letting Ewing play the 4th position and leave the basket to block the breakthrough line of the tragedy will not only make a.c. .
As a backup center, Bowie is impeccable, but to play against Robinson? Simply demonic.
In the fourth quarter, Robinson's terrifying offensive rebound rate made Louis want to change his defensive strategy several times.
But this is just a regular game, as long as you can get valuable clues, it doesn't matter if you lose.
With this in mind, Louie not only refused to make substitutions but allowed Robinson to bully Bowie, he also told the players to have firm beliefs and trust the arrangements of the coaching staff.
And, he poured Bowie a big bowl of chicken soup: "Sam, you have played professional basketball for five years more than that bitch, but few people understand you, including that guy! Are you inferior to him? I don't If you think about it this way, let him know how powerful you are and let him remember your name!"
Bowie boiled over, grabbed an offensive rebound and drew a foul on Robinson.
Then, Wilson tried to dunk Robinson and made another foul.
It was Robinson's fifth foul, and Riley replaced Robinson, hoping to get him back in the tiebreaker.
Without Robinson, the Lakers have no advantage inside.
The strategy they used to imprison the Tragedian had the desired effect. The tragedy master couldn't come to the familiar position to make a jump shot. After Robinson left the court, he felt that he had a great responsibility. He challenged Ewing's help defense with a throw shot, grabbed the rebound and gave Pippen a dunk, and grabbed the rebound again by himself. The frontcourt made a chasing three-pointer.
Some of these **** are the style of play that the tragedian likes, and some are not, such as throwing shots against the center, such as chasing three-pointers.
Louis' strategy is getting more and more extreme. He just wants to know whether the tragedian can use pincers to limit it.
In the last three minutes, the Lakers had caught up to 6 points, and Louis' defensive strategy was adjusted again.
As long as the tragedian dribbles the ball to the right wing, no matter what happens, clip!
As long as the playmaker goes to the low position to get the ball, regardless of the movement around him, clip!
As long as the tragedian shows signs of following the screen to catch the ball, there must be two people following him. The moment he catches the ball, clip!
So in the final stage, the tragedy division made three mistakes, and the Knicks once again pulled the score to 11 points through a defensive counterattack.
With more than a minute left, the Lakers had little chance of winning. Riley called a timeout to let the tragedian change his strategy.
They let the tragedies break the Knicks' pincers by running off the ball. He has reduced the possession of the ball, but the pressure on the defense is still strong. Together with David Robinson who has returned to the game~www.mtlnovel.com~, he poses a serious threat to the frontcourt, and the second attack has repeatedly succeeded.
Although the tragic master without the ball is still a difficult player to deal with, he is not the monster that made Louis try to force him to death before.
14 seconds before the end, David Robinson's dunk made him reach the milestone of 20+20 in a single game, and the Lakers caught up to 1 point.
On the Knicks' final drive, Louie came up with a lineup that stunned Pat Riley.
Stockton, Hornacek, Wilson, Miller, Danny Ainge.
There are no insiders, and all the shooters have a three-point shooting rate of more than 34%. Moreover, the tactics Louis drew for them are still starburst tactics.
Stockton was in charge of the serve, and the other four scattered like exploding fireworks. The Lakers' defense completely collapsed, and the space was stretched too wide!
Wilson received the ball, pretended to shoot, and flew away the tragedies who were catching up. Then, 0.2 seconds before the end of the game, he hit the long-distance two points of the game-winning game.
109 to 106
Louis let out a sigh of relief, this Lakers team is really hard to play.
