The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 808 mad max

,!

The second quarter between the Knicks and the Trail Blazers started with a fierce confrontation.

The referee nervously controlled the progress of the game, and both participating parties did not want to use the sensitive penalty scale to profit.

The role of Clifford Robinson may not even have been expected by Pat Riley.

As a tall striker, this person has obvious advantages in defense.

He can run, he can jump, he is tall and has long arms, and he can help defend any player who meets the Knicks. With Riley's defensive switching system, he can just play a role.

Xavier McDaniel's overall offensive and defensive pressure is stronger, and Robinson is more suitable for the stalemate stage to stitch the Blazers' defense like a sewing machine.

During that time period, Wilson was also replaced. .

The Knicks don't have Wilson on the court, but they still have Ewing.

Miller looks like he needs a few more games to get used to the Blazers' defense.

As Dell Ellis' successor, Louie has higher expectations for Miller, but he has never faced a high level of defense like Ellis since he was firmly established as the starter.

Miller's experience in Louis' previous life convinced Louis that his ceiling was higher than Ellis'. But now, Louis is not sure whether Miller under this timeline will be able to surpass Ellis in the end.

If Miller makes his debut in the Pacers, his growth trajectory will not change. The children of the so-called poor families will take charge of the family early. Because the team has no other players with promising futures, Miller, a marksman with mediocre ball-handling ability, will be pushed away. Unimaginable potential broke out after being in the core position.

With the Knicks, Miller doesn't need to push himself that far.

Just like tonight, Miller didn't play well, and Louie's approach was not to keep him on the court to find his status, but to make substitutions. And it works well after the substitution.

If it is replaced by a weak team with a shortage of personnel, Miller will have to figure out his own way to solve the problem.

Therefore, such small details that are easy to be overlooked will also affect the growth of a player.

In the second quarter, Miller's performance is still not ideal, and he has made 1 of 7 shots since the start.

Louis is no longer eager to replace it, and Miller's poor performance is caused by the Blazers' defensive strategy. At this time, the Blazers let Jordan face Miller, and Robinson, a spiderman with scuds, was ready to help defend at any time. With the newly replaced Anthony Mason, his defense should not be underestimated.

If Louis is Riley's teacher, then Riley is definitely a good student who is keen on taking classroom notes.

Riley learned from Louie that "a tough team can win", "defense is the first", "the three-point line can be released", "sharp shooters must die", "it is better to assist in defense than to switch defenses, and it is better to rotate defenses than rotations, rotations In the end, you still have to double-team", "the rule of no layup", "selective shorting", "key people must be respected".

Miller is the key person in the eyes of the Blazers.

He is one of the few players in the league who can win games with three-pointers.

Although the Knicks have many shooters, Miller is the only one who doesn't dare to bet on the touch of Riley.

So they treated Miller's defense to the highest standard.

This is why Miller played poorly after the opening.

As a sharpshooter, it is normal for a team with the league's second-best defense to underperform.

After Miller misfired, the Georgetown Twins stepped forward.

Reggie Williams came off the bench as Wilson, holding the ball on the side to support, sending multiple second passes to Kemp and Ewing.

When the Blazers left Williams on the outside in order to limit Ewing's flanking, he also punished the Portlanders with a steady three-point shot.

Seeing that the two have an extraordinary tacit understanding, Louis launched an attack around their focus in the second quarter.

The Knicks mainly play a two-three offensive formation, and Ewing and Williams are mainly on the weak side and one-on-one with the Blazers.

In the other three positions, Kempla goes to the high position, Stockton is at the top of the arc, and Miller has a strong side corner.

Miller didn't dare to let it go, and Stockton's three-pointer at the top of the arc was also accurate. Kemp was the only player who could let it go, but Ewing didn't need many steps to play the Blazers inside.

His size has an obvious advantage, smashing the ball to the ground and pushing forward hard.

Robinson, who was in charge of defending against him, fell in front of Ewing like a tree that had been cut down.

Ewing slammed up and dunked.

"Drink!"

Ewing's roar was full of male hormones.

He finally knew how good Sampson felt when he was playing against them.

When facing Sampson or other superstar centers, it is difficult for Ewing to feel this way. However, the Blazers' inside line is their biggest shortcoming.

As long as Ewing gets the ball, whoever wins and whoever dies.

It was just Robinson. Portland didn't realize what cruelty was until Mason defended Ewing.

After many years of training by Louis, Ewing's body shape is almost perfect, and his upper and lower limbs have enough strength. When encountering ordinary insiders, the gorilla can crush it with its strength advantage.

Ewing would not foolishly choose to go head-to-head against a forward with a stout physique like Mason. He knew that his biggest advantage was his height.

Therefore, before catching the ball, Ewing first used his physical advantage to squeeze under the basket step by step.

Mason didn't take the card battle seriously.

He thought that the real outcome of this battle lay in how Ewing attacked after receiving the ball, so when he was stuck, he would not desperately resist in order to save energy. Because no matter how he resists Ewing, he will eventually receive a pass from his teammates. He's too tall and long enough to prevent him from claiming the post.

However, he forgot one thing.

If Ewing's receiving point is under the basket, or very close to the basket, there will be no suspense about the result. Gu Yan

When the ball was passed to Ewing, he grabbed the ball directly, turned around, and rode Mason's body to dunk and score.

Ewing's dunk has the power of O'Neill.

He completely blew up the Blazers inside.

It's useless for the Blazers to come, unless they double-team Ewing.

If they double-team, Ewing's ball will go out.

Stockton's three-pointer at the top of the arc, Kemp's high jumper, and even Miller in the bottom corner were all passed by the luck of the leader, washing away the bad luck from the opponent, and scoring the second goal of the night.

In just a few minutes, Ewing dominated the basket and fed back to the team, and the Knicks played a 14-5 offensive.

45 to 32

The Blazers fell behind by 13 points in an instant.

Riley asked for a timeout.

"These guys aren't that strong." Doug Mo yelled loudly. "If you try harder, I think Portland can't hold it anymore. That kind of defensive intensity can't last the whole game."

Louis is not optimistic.

Other teams may not have enough physical fitness, but the Trail Blazers, their training intensity is well known in the league, even Barkley has successfully lost weight, how dare they underestimate their physical strength?

No matter what, this team must be treated with the most dangerous standards.

Louie replaced Stockton.

The Knicks don't need to play a complex offense right now.

"Since Patrick has such a big advantage in the interior, what we have to do is to amplify this advantage!" Louis asked Vernon Maxwell to come on as Stockton's substitute, "Patrick, just now you and Ruth (Reggie) Williams) is on the weak side of the two-three formation. From the next turn, you two and hawk (Maxwell) are on the strong side. All positional warfare attacks must be launched through Patrick. If they dare to include Just pass the ball to the shooter, I want to see what they can do when our three-pointers are raining in a row."

This is a real problem.

The Blazers' wing reserves are unparalleled in the world, and even the Knicks are hard to match.

However, basketball games cannot be won by stacking wings.

They've been unstoppable in the West, but in the East, the Knicks are a detached opponent.

The Blazers are strong on the flanks, with Porter supporting them at the back, but Nance is the only one inside.

Nance was still a power forward, only forced into that position because there was no center on the team.

Therefore, when the Blazers meet a team with a super insider, they have to find a cannon fodder in front of them, and then launch flanking groups to harass and double-team.

Against the Rockets, this trick worked. Olajuwon made 17 turnovers in two games.

This trick also works against the Lakers, because David Robinson is not tough enough and the Lakers are not accurate outside.

He failed to play against the Celtics. Sampson has averaged 34 points per game so far this season. He has 6 50+ points in a single game, one of which was won on the Trail Blazers. But the Blazers won that game because Bird was sidelined.

Playing the Knicks, it stands to reason that the double-team tactic is effective for Ewing.

But Ewing's starting point is higher than most centers.

Playing for Louis for six or seven years, he has already brushed off the bad habits developed during the Georgetown period, and he has also learned many skills that he did not have.

There are also some habits that have served him and the entire team to great advantage.

Such as the current fast handling of the ball.

When Ewing gets the ball, he will make a judgment within a second, whether it is an attack or a pass.

Even if the Blazers' double-teaming speed is fast, his height can still allow him to safely deliver the ball to his teammates by passing high and high.

With the speed and quality of Ewing's passes, the Blazers' wings didn't have enough time to complete defensive rotations.

The receiver was Vernon Maxwell.

When he just played, his excitement was beyond words, and he directly pulled up and shot one.

As soon as the ball went out, UU reading www.uukanshu.com roared like crazy: "Gnm must have this ball!!"

"Shua!"

Louis rubbed his forehead.

"I hope that guy doesn't have so many foul words in his mouth when he shoots." Louie just finished speaking, and Maxwell ran over like crazy and high-fived Louie.

"Coach, you can trust me! Always! I'm **** super strong!"

Louis really didn't expect that he would not be angry at all when a player said "fuck" in front of him.

Louis pays great attention to personal authority. Unless he is of low quality like Bird, he will never allow players to be rough in front of him.

Once a player loses awe of the coach, it is the beginning of losing control of the team.

But with Vernon Maxwell, Louie really had nothing to do.

This guy also has a nickname, "Mad Max".

Even the nickname is implying that there is something wrong with this person, which cannot be guessed by common sense.
