The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 973 A wonderful lineup by chance

The Knicks can see a shadow of their past in the Heat.

Before 1988, they were as prosperous as the Heat, and with the expectations of the world, they stubbornly challenged the Celtics.

The Knicks' failure in game 2 was a declaration made by the Heat.

They want to prove that the theory that there is no suspense in the conference finals is just the opinion of a group of stupid observers.

Their words are as unreliable as the middle door of a Japanese movie.

Under the thick mosaic, the pre-prepared imitation is enough to distinguish the real one from the real one.

Louie doesn't believe this series will be over anytime soon.

The Heat are more than just a team with a promising future.

Their state is a bit like the Knicks in 1987.

High talent, strong strength, good record, eager to prove himself.

The Heat want people to know that they can expect not only the future, but also the present.

Billy Donovan may be the most brilliant of several assistant coaches that Louie has come out of.

He's not as communicative as Zen Master, but he's not as rigid as Van Gundy either.

Donovan's advantage is youth.

Just like when Louis was just a fledgling, he was not afraid of any dangers.

Because of Louis, Donovan became the head coach of the NBA 20 years earlier, which will also bring a completely different trend to his career.

Donovan took the right approach leading the Heat.

He has the courage to challenge everything that young people have.

Therefore, he will speak boldly after the second game.

Louis also believes that there are still several vicious battles to be fought between the two sides.

In the Western Conference during the same period, there was not much suspense in the Western Conference Finals between the Trail Blazers and the Clippers.

The Clippers are based on Olajuwon and Drexler. These two did not live up to the expectations of Angel City. Their own strength is outstanding, and the style of play does not conflict, which ensures the competitiveness of the Clippers.

However, the fans also understand from the bottom of their hearts that with the current competitiveness of the league, the limit of the two leading the team is the division finals.

Considering the wildness of the West, if the regular season record is not good enough, it is possible to meet the Trail Blazers, Clippers and other teams in advance, and the second round or even the first round is possible.

In the two Western Conference finals with the Trail Blazers, the Clippers lost a total of 38 points.

After entering the Western Conference Finals, the Blazers' status has steadily improved, and they are already an irresistible behemoth for the Clippers.

Olajuwon averaged 28 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks per game in two games. This is already the data of a top insider, but the impact on the outcome is so small that it can be ignored.

At the same time, Drexler's performance was questioned by the Los Angeles media.

As the team's No. 2 player, he didn't provide enough help to Olajuwon.

Honestly, it can't be entirely his fault.

The strength of the Blazers' wing group is well known all over the world. A point forward like Drexler with unstable shooting is easy to be restricted in the face of high-intensity defense.

The Blazers just have all the conditions to limit him.

In this case, it is quite normal for Drexler to not perform well.

In addition to scoring, Drexler performed well in other aspects, averaging 16 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists per game. Although his shooting percentage is bleak, he can already be regarded as qualified if he can play this data against the Blazers' wings.

As a result, the Los Angeles media, which has made the tragedy teacher so appetizing, has become accustomed to seeing their core 30+10+10+50% shooting rate and regretting losing.

In their opinion, Olajuwon's 28+12+4+3 data just passed the passing line.

Drexler's glaring inefficiency, as well as his average per game "not even" a triple-double, is definitely a pitfall.

The Los Angeles Daily News wrote in the next day's paper: "Clyde Drexler is becoming the most disappointing basketball player since Kareem-Jabbar."

Another Los Angeles media sarcastically said: "If it is said that the Lakers who have lost their tragedies have lost their glory, then watching the Clippers game is becoming an embarrassing thing. The reason why we can accept that the tragedies come back every year A year of failure, because we all know that he has done everything he can. And the Clippers dare to pat their chests and say they did their best? No, you can see from their face that there has never been a change You can see from the looks that they never give their best to the game."

After the tragedy division retired, the Clippers saw an opportunity to compete for the fan market.

The economic benefits behind this are irresistible to anyone.

So when Olajuwon and Drexler wanted to join the team, Clippers owner Sterling, who was as stingy as Grandet, also started spending money.

Sterling thinks his team has done all that can be done.

The Los Angeles media thought wishfully: No, you didn't.

The bloodiest thing about the age of print media is that fans are often led by the nose.

The likes and dislikes of the fans are largely the likes and dislikes of the media.

What the media likes, the fans like, and vice versa.

Therefore, Chamberlain in the newspaper is a withdrawn person who everyone despises, but it does not prevent him from being a gentle and good person in real life; the tragedian once won the love of the world at the beginning of his career, but he signed a 20-year 25 million century After the contract, he was hated by the fans, because the reporters thought he was unworthy, so the fans also thought he was unworthy; you can't forget Dr. J who tried his best to maintain his image in front of the media, and you can't forget how the media that gained the power of public opinion published in newspapers Twitter blatantly throws the ultimate "do you want sharks paid more than pennies?" poll.

Such hype from the Los Angeles media will deal an immeasurable blow to the Clippers' fan popularity.

The Clippers players clearly felt isolated in Los Angeles, no one liked them, no one spoke up for them, as if losing to the Trail Blazers was unforgivable.

Louis, who is far away in New York, doesn't care about the leisure and leisure in Los Angeles.

For him, the battle situation in the West has only one meaning, which is to let him know the latest status of the Blazers.

Judging from their performance against the Clippers, the Blazers' running-in has basically been completed. Riley no longer insisted on solving the natural shortcomings of the Blazers, but chose to unleash the talents of the players to dominate the game.

This is the easiest way of coaching, the laziest way of coaching, and the most effective way of coaching.

Had the Blazers played this way from the start, they should have won 75 games (at least) in the regular season.

In that case, Jordan's mvp is also stable.

But Riley is an aspiring coach. He wants to win, but also wins beautifully. So the Blazers looked perfect for most of the regular season, but it was just a bubble.

After Louis burst the bubble, Riley didn't want to change, he just wanted to change back to the original, so the Blazers lost a lot.

They grind through those losing games.

There have been frustrations and quarrels, self-doubt, infighting and outbursts, but these emotions eventually translate into a belief in winning.

The Blazers have risen completely.

Louie would be lying if he said he wasn't worried at all about the state of the Blazers.

But now, apart from caring about the Blazers, he can't care too much about him.

Because they still have strong enemies blocking the way in the east.

Louie gave Donovan a slap in the face.

As soon as the game started, the Knicks made the Heat lose the rhythm of the game with a murderous press.

The Knicks' involvement in the murder of tight end personnel is surprising.

They are Wilson, Stevens, Rodman, Doug Christie, Reggie Williams.

Rookie Christie was added to the mix, while perennial anchor John Saley, a murderous tight end, was left on the sidelines.

The reason why Louis abandoned Sely was well known, and he would not use this person again if no one was available.

Doing so would be equivalent to swapping Selley for Christie. But Christie is on the outside, and Salley is on the inside, so Rodman is actually replaced by Christie. Rodman took Salley's place as the inside line of the murder press.

Christie will become a sharp knife in the future, but he is only a rookie now and has many shortcomings, but he will replace Rodman, the dpoy, on the defensive end, which means that Wilson and others need to spend more power to make up for the gap.

Fortunately, although Christie has many areas to improve, but in terms of immediate combat power, he can already appear in the playoffs and make contributions.

In addition to the defensive end, it will take some time to adapt to the murder press. In other respects, Christie's performance is very impressive.

First of all, he has a high ball quotient, knows what to do on the court, and has excellent pass control ability. With him, the Knicks' Murder Press suddenly had five players who could make the ball on the court.

Of the five people, Wei, S, Ray, Luo, and Ke, four of them can control the ball, and all five of them can pass the ball.

The chemistry created by Christie joining the murder press was something Louie hadn't expected.

He originally just wanted Christie to last as long as possible for a few minutes~www.mtlnovel.com~ If it really didn't work, he let Sely play.

As a result, although Christie's defense was not up to standard, the improvement brought by the offensive end was far beyond imagination.

With four ball handlers in the lineup, Donovan's attempt to replicate the Celtics' full-court press plan failed.

Entering the positional battle, Louis saw the most ideal offensive mode of this lineup: Wilson made a breakthrough, Stevens transferred, Christie followed Rodman's pick-and-roll to break through the bottom corner, and Reggie Williams made a three-pointer.

At that time, Louis felt that even if this lineup does not play a murderous press, it is completely up to the standard in terms of small ball lineups.

Controlling, passing, shooting, defense, and rebounding are all fine.

Louis, who always liked to eat from a bowl and watch the pot, had another question in his heart: "Can this lineup work against the Blazers?"
