Chapter 1027 Coach Lu, what is MSG's scoring record in a single quarter
Chapter 35 Coach Lu, what is the scoring record for MSG in a single quarter
"Doug Christie, played 52 games in the regular season, averaged 7 minutes and 22 seconds per game, scored 4 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, played 16 games in the playoffs, averaged [-] minutes and [-] seconds per game..."

Bob Costas reads Christie's stats.

These statistics make people have a clear understanding of Christie, that is, this person is definitely not a so-called secret weapon, nor is he a high-strength rookie, nor is he a relic who cannot stand out because of the fierce competition in the Knicks team.

A player who does not seem to be playing at this time is suddenly sent out. Why is this?
Although neither Lambiel nor the tragedian can explain why, they can give examples based on their own experiences.

Lambiel said: "When Coach Road was teaching in Boston, there was a young man named Guy Williams on our team. Although he was mediocre at the time, Coach Road always replaced him at certain special moments."

"Special moments?" Costas asked. "Like?"

Lambiel came to a wave of memory kills: "Do you still remember the famous conflict between Dr. J and Larry?"

Of course Costas remembered.

It's not just Costas who remembers, any NBA fan who watched it in the 80s will never forget that game, even if it was just a regular season.

As a regular season, it was replayed by CBS many times in the following years and received good reviews, which shows how classic it is.

Among them, Louis KO the referee before the game, Dr. Bird abused Dr. Bird and threw a gentleman's fist in anger, Lambiel's Ba-style persuasion, and Guy Williams' loyal dog-like savior mentioned by Lambiel just now, are all stories that fans are familiar with.

Costas seemed to understand: "So, you think Doug has a similar special mission on the court?"

Lambiel didn't think Christie was a person who would take the initiative to fight, but if there was no other purpose, it couldn't explain why Louis replaced him.

So Lambiel just said, "I'm not sure, maybe?"

The case of the tragedian, however, is quite different from Lambiel's.

The tragedy division mentioned another player - Brad Rohaus.

As we all know, Rohaus is the famous mascot of the Knicks dynasty. Although he has no strength, everyone likes him.

Last summer, when Rohaus was sent to the Clippers, many Knicks fans expressed their reluctance.

But Luo Haosi's popularity is not because of his performance on the court, but because of his innocent and harmless image off the court.

There are two main reasons why Louis kept him for so many years.

A team does not need to choose the strongest player, but it must identify the weakest player.The weakest player can both finish bottom and use his bottom strength to comfort others.

Rohaus is such a character. He bought a villa as a DNP and lived in it all year round. As the least important player of the team, he brought a lot of joy to the locker room. It can be said that the Knicks have such a dull atmosphere this year, partly because Rohaus is gone.

The tragedy division mentioned him, not to let people know how important the team's 15th man is.

He said something embarrassing in his own eyes: "Brad is the most unremarkable player on this team, but Coach Road once started him in the finals against us, and it worked."

As soon as the tragedy teacher finished speaking, Lambiel also answered: "Yes, I remembered, this guy also started against us, and he played well, so, no matter what tricks Coach Lu plays on the rotation, I will not question him, he must have his reasons!"

There was no complicated reason for Louis to replace Christie.

The Blazers suspected of imitating the Knicks' roll call tactics.

Therefore, Louie has to change to a lineup that has basically no defensive loopholes, while leaving room for it.

Christie is Louis's "private plot".

As a rookie, it stands to reason that defense will be his weakness.If the Blazers want to play roll call tactics, he is undoubtedly the most suitable roll call target.

The beauty of this substitution is also here.

Christie has many shortcomings, but his defense is above average in the Knicks.

Although Christie was not a defensive player in college, but when he came to New York, he knew that if he wanted to mix himself up in this terrifyingly introverted team, he had to start with defense.He is willing to work on the defensive end and has a high level of understanding. With a group of defensive masters, he has improved rapidly.

But having said that, no matter how good Christie's defense is, if any one of Jordan, Barkley, and Thomas uses a roll call tactic against him, then he basically has no power to parry.

Louis's substitution was to test whether the Blazers' style of play was the same as he thought, and by the way, to give Christie a chance, the two did not conflict.

For the audience, this may be one of the many tricks that Louis has done, but how many coaches dare to work hard in the stalemate in Game 10 of the finals, even if they lead by [-] points?
But for Christie, it was a momentous moment in his career.

During his rookie season, Christie rarely felt needed.Now, even if he doesn't know the purpose of the coach replacing him, he still has to do his best to leave his mark on the biggest stage in the world.

With this in mind, Christie ushered in the attack of Isiah Thomas.

Thomas' performance was defiant. He didn't call the pick-and-roll, and he didn't look for Jordan to pass the ball like before.

Christie's heart was always hanging, and his heartbeat was dozens of miles faster than Thomas' crotch changing direction. His defense was played by the opponent in the applause, and he couldn't make an effective prediction for the attack of the smiling assassin.

Thomas boldly rose up after changing direction, and shot the 198 cm Christie from outside the arc top three-point line.

"Shh!"

25 is better than 32
"Isaiah doesn't take him seriously at all." Lambiel laughed.

Christie gritted her teeth and ran forward sullenly.

Wilson broke the Blazers' 3-1-1 full-court press with a solo dribble.

The Blazers were responsible for defending him from Jordan. Wilson's offense was too strong in the first quarter, and Riley didn't dare to hand him over to anyone else.

Wilson, however, seems to have a complete set of self-management mechanisms.

He can restrain his deepest desires, which is what the "conqueror" looks like.But Riley isn't terrified. He'll be terrified if Wilson keeps up the first quarter.

Wilson called Ewing's pick-and-roll, and then pretended to go in the direction of the pick-and-roll, and then sent a very clever pass to the gorilla who opened and rolled.

Ewing missed an almost 2-pointer, but instead of slipping and missing a shot, he opted to pass.

He passed the ball to the perimeter.

This kind of choice, in normal times, Louis would have reprimanded him a few times, but now he can only feel the growth of this Jamaican bastard.

The receiver is the Knicks rookie - Doug Christie.

Christie's unguarded outside three-pointer, he didn't look nervous, and his shooting was smooth, but he missed it.

It doesn't matter, everyone will have the experience of striking iron with a perfect touch.

Ewing dominated the paint, grabbed the offensive rebound unstoppably, and said to Christie: "Just shoot!"

Christie held her breath, and made another shot from the same position.

It's not uncommon for Louie to be brought in at this moment, as he is known for giving newcomers and fringes a chance.But being fed two goals in a row by a mean veteran like Ewing has a completely different meaning to Christie.

He has been with Ewing for a season, and he knows that this big brother is difficult to get along with, he is indifferent to the outside world, and harsh and mean on the inside, and the only person who can cure him is Louis, but he chooses to believe in himself at this time, and let him have a chance to get back the field, and it happened twice in a row.
Christie made another shot with the determination to make it all happen.

"Shh!"

"!!#%"

Christie let out an inarticulate growl, and ran back to find Louie standing on the sidelines with his hand outstretched.

He waved his hand excitedly and clapped it up.

"We can really see the root of the Knicks' strength in these few rounds." The tragedy division sighed, "That's why they were able to win five consecutive championships."

"Enough, five consecutive championships is enough." Lambiel would feel physically uncomfortable when he heard someone bragging about the Knicks' five consecutive championships.

Because the first of these five consecutive championships was achieved by breaking the Celtics' four consecutive championships, and the five consecutive championships are one more than the four consecutive championships.

If you beat you head-to-head, there are more consecutive championships than you. Needless to say, who is greater?
Then, Thomas came to the front court again, but this time, Christie took the initiative to increase the physical contact and no longer let him have the opportunity to dribble and juggle on the spot.

Thomas was not in a hurry. Jordan ran from the right side, took the ball hand-to-hand, and let the Knicks switch defenses by the way.

Christie came in front of Jordan, and this scene made Louie's eyes widen—at the moment the switch was completed, Jordan activated and passed Christie, rushed to the basket and caused Ewing to foul in the air, and hit the rebound with a pull bar.

"Is MJ going to start?"

Jordan looked at Louis in the distance, and asked, "Coach Lu, what is MSG's scoring record in a single quarter?"

This scene undoubtedly angered all the Knicks players.
