The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 842 Orangutans speak rudely

,!

The next day, the Knicks practiced as usual.

Yesterday's awkwardness didn't seem to have happened, and no one mentioned it again.

The Jamaican Star and the Wind of the Great Shoulders will play the same team match as usual.

"Is there something going on that I don't know about?" Doug Mo asked.

Louie yawned, and avoided talking about the fact that he went around looking for people to do work last night, let the assistants watch the players, and went back to the office as usual.

During the Finals, what the Knicks needed most was stability.

People's hearts are like the sea, it is impossible to see through at a glance, or solve the biggest problem.

Just like Isiah Thomas in the Celtic period, continuous victories can curb the breeding of problems. When the days of sharing blessings pass, the dominance of the Green Army is gone, and it is necessary to share adversity. Smiling Assassin is not willing.

This is not selfish, for him, the only reason to stay in the Celtics is to be able to continue to win.

If this need cannot be met, there is no reason for him to stay.

What's more, it took him three years to confirm that the Celtics really couldn't go back to the past before choosing to leave.

The Knicks' problem is much simpler than that of the Celtics, but just as troublesome.

It is about competition for leadership and affirmation of dominance.

On the bright side, Ewing is the leader, and Wilson also recognizes this. But during the season, things often happened that made people think that Wilson was the leader, so that Ewing felt uneasy.

This potential contradiction was originally hidden.

When Wilson signed a big contract and surpassed Ewing's annual salary for the first time, the contradictions began to intensify.

In the fmvp selection for the finals last season, the Ewing camp has been talking about the story of losing fmvp due to low media favorability for a whole year.

Now, it is just another outbreak after this problem has taken root.

It's an unsolvable question, and Wilson said he had no intention of competing for leadership, but what he did made it feel like he was the leader of the Knicks.

The media recognizes him as a leader, and the fans love him too.

Ewing didn't want to be just an internally recognized leader, but he found it almost impossible to gain external recognition. Wilson couldn't be blamed for this.

The conflict was on the verge of breaking out last night, and Louis immediately suppressed the spark.

He doesn't know how long he can press it.

June 10, 1992

Game 4 between the Knicks and the Trail Blazers is still going on at the Memorial Stadium.

Pat Riley has the advantage of being good at learning.

He not only learned from Louie to build a team, but also believed that he could strengthen the players' muscles on the basis of the Knicks to increase confrontation. He did something that Louis could not imagine-let Barkley have muscle lines on his body and let Jordan give up the scoring champion.

He can both learn and innovate, and if that's not enough, keep learning.

That's right, this time, he decided to take it a step further—learn and sell now.

In the last game, Riley was impressed by Louie's low-horse tactic of murdering the Blazers at the beginning of the game. He believed that the Knicks could use this routine, and the Blazers could use it, and they should be able to use it better than the Knicks. better.

This arrogant idea seems unfounded, because the Knicks' murder press can be used as a routine and killer, and the Blazers' full-court press is obviously worse.

But Riley can learn and sell now.

In the past two days, he asked the assistant coach to make a video highlight of the Knicks' murder pressing details, and temporarily formed a lineup in the Trail Blazers dedicated to the full-court pressing.

If he can learn to this level, even Louis will be convinced.

The Trail Blazers have just established a full-court press team for two days, and they will strangle the Knicks' starters in Game 4 of the Finals.

When Louie saw that the Blazers' starting lineup was Jordan, Cosey, McDaniel, Robinson, and Blue Edwards, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"A starting lineup of four small forwards?"

NBC analyst Doug Collins laughed.

"This lineup looks familiar!"

"No way?" Tomjanovich said in surprise. "Isn't Portland trying to imitate us?"

Louie can already figure out what the Blazers want to do.

"Aren't they imitating us all the time?" Louis asked back.

Riley not only imitated Louis to form a lineup dedicated to pressing the whole court, but also put core players into it like Louis, and the core players led the team.

The Knicks are Wilson, and the Blazers are Jordan.

If Jordan plays defense with his life later, would these people dare to be lazy?

Presumably, before the game started, Riley had already played a lot of chicken blood against Jordan, so Jordan would defend desperately.

After two days of training, the Trail Blazers' full-court press is definitely still a long way from maturity, but they can definitely develop basic routines. In addition, the game has just started, and this group of people are sharpening their knives and killing intent. concentrated.

The Knicks faced them with normal starters.

Because Louis believes that Riley will not continue to use a lineup that has been cracked by the Knicks, but he did not expect that Riley is a master of the two **** games of cramming and a dead horse as a living horse doctor. Learn from him to the end , completely took Louis as a guiding light.

"Old road, is our lineup going to change?" Zhao Yuanzheng asked.

Louis now has too little information, and none of them know the effect of the pioneer version of the murder press.

"Let's take a look first."

Louis didn't like the referee tonight.

Dick Bavetta, Joe Clifford, and Darrell Garretson, except for Clifford, were all involved in some way with Louie.

However, they also know Louis' temperament, and they have suffered from Louis, so they should not blow the whistle openly if they were not given the task by the superiors.

They have all experienced Louis' bad temper and how low the lower limit is when he turns his face.

Even though Louie has the means to put pressure on the referee, he's worried.

Referees can dominate a game, this is not just talk.

They can decide what scale to blow according to the situation.

Although they can't blow the whistle and the black whistle, they can enforce the law according to which scale is not good for the Knicks. As long as the standards are the same, Louis is the same, because they are indeed "impartial law enforcement."

After the game started, the Knicks won the ball as usual.

"Eon!!"

Jordan roared, and the five Blazers collectively turned into mad dogs and bit them up.

Stockton, who bears the brunt, is not ready to deal with it.

what does this feel like Just like some Japanese action movies that start to get to the point in four seconds, although the actors know what is going to happen, the excellent acting skills will make you believe that they don't know.

But Stockton on the court really didn't know that the Blazers were going to play this trick.

Louis warned to be careful that they pressed the whole court at the beginning, but Stockton did not expect such a high intensity.

This is not the defensive intensity that should have been at the start.

The Knicks made a mistake, made another mistake, and made three mistakes in a row.

The three referees headed by Bavita already knew what scale to use to judge the game.

Loose, indulgent, and allowing rough confrontation between the two sides, this was originally the Knicks' advantage. Now, there is a team that looks more hardcore.

He was beaten 0-8 in the start, and Wilson couldn't even touch the ball. Xavier McDaniel remembered the one-punch feud in the last game, and he was able to fight with him at the beginning. Rolled four or five times on the ground.

The Knicks were stunned by the Blazers' amazing intensity of full-court pressing, and they couldn't find the rhythm at all.

Louis waited for two minutes. Instead of waiting for the players on the field to break the game, he waited for an 8-point deficit and could only ask for a timeout.

"This is the real final!"

"Portland is the strongest opponent the Knicks have faced since 1988!"

When Bob Costas came to his conclusion, there was a slight wave on the face of the tragedian.

He had to admit that even though his Lakers had tied the Knicks 2-2 in the 1991 Finals, the Trail Blazers were the team that really pushed the Knicks into a tough fight.

Judging by this standard, it is absolutely correct to say that the Blazers are the strongest opponent the Knicks have encountered in the past five seasons.

The finals with the Trail Blazers tested the Knicks' starting lineup's weaknesses and resistance to pressure.

Like Stockton and Miller, the progress they have made since winning the championship is not obvious, because the Lakers have not given them enough challenges on the defensive end in the past three years.

The Lakers proved that offense alone cannot beat the Knicks' defense.

Now, the Blazers, who have completely copied them, have come and played a defense that is even more intense than the Knicks. Neither Stockton nor Miller played well.

Tonight's start was completely lost.

Stockton's calm mind seems to be down, and Miller...Louie hasn't seen him online.

He was overwhelmed by Jordan's off-ball defense, and even with screens, the Blazers' athleticism allowed him to rotate defensively in an instant.

Louie is going to replace Ewing to rest, just as the Blazers also let Barkley sit off the court to rest.

However, Ewing seemed to read his mind: "Let Benj rest, I will carry it!"

"Are you carrying it?" Louis asked with a smile as if hearing a joke, "What are you carrying?"

Ewing said confidently: "Take my advantage in the paint~www.mtlnovel.com~ Take the fact that no one of them can guard me, take the average of 26 points per game and shoot 58% in the finals."

Louis asked again: "They press the ball like this, and our ball can't reach the frontcourt, so what if you shoot 100%?"

Unexpectedly, this guy Ewing responded quickly: "If I can solve all the problems, what do I need the coach for?"

Louis almost froze.

The bastard!

With this kind of virtue, he can hardly stand it anymore, no wonder the media hates him.

"Benj, what's your opinion?" Louis took a deep breath to calm himself, and asked Wilson's opinion by the way.

Wilson said simply, "I trust Patrick."

The right owner has expressed his position, and Louis is of course fine.

"Cj, you replace the general." Louie continued, "Alex, you replace benj."

Finally, he looked at Danny Ainge: "Danny, you replace Reggie."
