the rest, only noise

Chapter 1139 The road is still long
All things that we eagerly look forward to, once started, will inevitably have a kind of disappointment.

Because it's often not that good.

This was the case in the first quarter of the opening game between the Lakers and the Knicks.

In Louie's coaching debut after two years, the command is still calm, but there are no amazing highlights.

The Knicks made a lot of harsh words before the game, saying that they wanted to blow up the Lakers, but in the game, they were not that aggressive.

There are two main points.

The Lakers have Laettner's obvious loophole inside, so as long as the Knicks focus on the penalty area, they can ensure that the game is dominant.

Tomjanovich had thought that Louis would plug the gap within a few minutes.

As a result, Ewing scored 17 points in a single quarter, Kemp scored 12 points in a single quarter, and the Knicks scored 35 points in a single quarter. Laettner "made" a lot of effort in this process.

Because Laettner's defense is too bad, he can't prevent the Knicks from attacking the basket.

Laettner's poor defense allowed the Lakers' good shooting touch to start off to be overlooked.

Everyone has only one question-why didn't Coach Lu replace Laettner?Even if Garnett is allowed to play center, the inside defense will not be so muddled, right?
35 is better than 28
"Chris, come down and rest."

Louis finally replaced Laettner, who played the first quarter.

The Lakers then carried out personnel rotation.

Sydel Trait replaced Harper;

Liu Yuqing replaced Ellis;

Tragedy replaced Garnett;

Ostertag takes Leitner's place.

The whole set starts, leaving only one Wilson.

Louie said softly: "We have to trust the defense inside. Greg is enough to shield us from the wind and rain. Even if his defense has problems, don't panic. The important thing is to limit New York's outside. Especially Reggie Miller and Alan Houston, I want them to not even see the basket!"

The Knicks also made personnel rotations.

Sam Cassell replaces Stockton;
Houston replaced Miller;
Pippen, Kemp and Ewing all missed.

It is understandable to keep Pippen, he is the Knicks player who least wants to lose the Lakers.

As long as he doesn't want to be replaced, Tomjanovich will not change him.

The reason why Ewing and Kemp stayed on the court is simple.

The Lakers don't have a good inside line, and Louie is determined to let them play casually under the basket. Such a cool game, they don't meet a few times in a season, how can they go down and rest?

Seeing the expressions of those two guys who treated Ostertag as fat and ready to eat it up, Louis smiled secretly.

"Louis, do you really want to let those two guys go?"

Nelson felt that the Lakers had already paid the price for playing those two players casually in the first quarter.

Louis asked back, "Old Tang, look at our insiders. David is still lying at home. How do we manage it? Are we qualified to manage insiders?"

Nelson was at a loss for words.

Yes, what do you do with those two goods?
Do you want Joe Klein to come up to fight the Twin Towers and give the two pig butchers another dish, or is it called flanking?

If the Lakers double-team, Ewing and Kemp will definitely pass the ball.

Louie knows how dangerous the Knicks' outside line is.

In fact, this is like watching an Ai movie.

If you want good-looking teachers, you have to accept the fact that they are not capable enough to teach. You also need to be beautiful, have a good figure, and also show you acting skills, lines, and knowledge (zi) knowledge (shi) clearly. Boy, do you think Ai is filmed in Doraemon’s pocket?

In the second quarter, the Knicks had the ball.

Tretter, like Harper, looked at Louie every half-time.

Like Harper, he didn't want to see Louie look up.

As a result, Louis, who had already held back for a while, couldn't hold back anymore. He pushed his head upwards vigorously, and stretched out two fingers: "Try to play two rounds."

"No! Coach!" Garnett shouted jealously from the field, "How can the Lakers play 'Meteor' for the first time in the history of the Lakers without the participation of buddies? It's not fair!"

Louis said with a fake smile: "You seem to have a lot of opinions?"

"Dude, I'm too opinionated!"

"If you have an opinion, hold it back as if you have witnessed a crime committed by your family. Don't call me. If you call me again, go back to the locker room!"

Garnett will probably never know why Louie got angry.

For him, Angry Louie's anger was like that of a gangster on the streets of Chicago. He never knew whether the next time he fell on himself was a fist or a bullet.

Twright wasn't sure about shooting "Shooting Star", so he decided to learn from Rick Bronson and pass the ball to someone who was sure about playing tactics.

Tragedy catches the ball at the top of the arc.

For a moment, the forum seemed to be rioting, and the audience screamed and shouted wildly, welcoming their hero back with the most violent noise.

The tragedian decided to play the "Meteor F", which he personally thinks is the easiest.

In fact, this tactic is called "crossing the line" within the Lakers.

Those who can play this tactic are the ones who can control the "Meteor".

Hearing the instructions of the tragedy master, Wilson and Liu Yuqing acted first.

Ostertag followed the tragedian's gesture like a log to the sidewalk.

Tretter's mind went blank.

He not only needs to remember his own tactical path, but also has to pay attention to the tactical path of his teammates. As a result, he has no idea how to run at all.

Under tension, he completely forgot the tactics he had trained so hard in his daily life.

This is a person who can't understand "Meteor" at all, and can't step into "Whale Falling Land".

Fortunately, at least four people did the right thing.

Tragedy's tactical control is astonishing. While calling tactics, he can direct Ostertag to do the right thing in sync with Wei and Liu's rhythm, and then throw the ball at the moment when the Knicks' defense line is torn apart.

"Perfect!"

Louie couldn't help but say.

Outside the three-point line on the left, Liu Yuqing took the ball, and the defender didn't know where he was thrown.

"Shh!"

"Keep this guy's name in mind - he's not an Atlanta outcast, he's not 'a piece of crap that doesn't even want an expansion team', he's a really good player, he's Jiang Duo! He lit up the forums with a fantastic [-]-pointer!"

Hearn's brilliant commentary added a lot of color to that offensive round.

The Knicks coaching staff was absolutely amazed by what had just happened.

"It's not a high-post dynamic offense."

"It doesn't look like a small tactic picked up from other tactical systems..."

"This tactic gave me a very special feeling." Thibodeau said to Tomjanovich. "When the tactic was initiated, there were four people in Los Angeles in motion. Moreover, their tactical paths crossed each other without confusion. They created opportunities through beautiful transfers and screens."

"Dynamic attack done by four people?"

"It's indeed Louis' favorite style of play, but it's too complicated."

Tomjanovich immediately made a rough judgment. This is a new style of play for the Lakers. It must be very immature and should have a high turnover rate.

"do not worry."

At this time, the tragedian successfully used the ball quotient to beat Kemp for a round.

When Garnett and Laettner were paired inside, the Lakers' defense was a typical five-weak-four-strong defense.

Garnett's current single defense is easy to be overwhelmed by strength, but his talent is full of talent in assisting defense.

And Laettner is the Knicks' food, and he can play as he wants.

Now it's a pairing of Ostertag and Tragedian.

The Knicks believe that Ostertag is a defensive champion. His size and wingspan are no joke. As early as in college, he was a nationally famous rim protector.

Tragedy... Not to mention now, even in the 80s, when he was at his peak, his defense was not easy.

Now that he has returned to the game after a four-year absence, he is still playing at the fourth position. Isn't this a bigger loophole than Laettner?

So Kemp didn't regard the tragedy teacher as a human being at all, and wanted to go in and dunk while dribbling the ball and make the top five shots tomorrow.

The background board is a tragedy teacher, and he believes that the audience will like it.

It turned out that Camp was oversimplifying the problem.

Tragedy is older, but also more cunning. His defense is not good, but he is also a master of offensive fouls.

Kemp gave the opportunity without paying attention, allowing the tragic division to cause an offensive foul.

It was Kemp's second personal foul.

The tragedy teacher sat on the ground and jokingly said: "You don't think I'm a rookie who can be manipulated by you at will, do you? Tell you, although I am old, my brain is not old. You are still too young."

Kemp said coldly, "It was the referee who saved you. What can you be proud of?"

"Have you ever thought about it, because you can't figure out what the referee is thinking, so you are beaten by Danny Manning without any power to fight back?"

The tragedian's words angered Kemp.

However, to Louie, it didn't matter.

What matters is whether the second Meteor Tactic can be completed.

Tretter still gave the ball to the Tragedian.

But this time, there was a problem with the tacit understanding of the players on the field.

Wilson ran to the place where Liu Yuqing should appear, Ostertag's brain was overloaded, and he couldn't understand the gesture of the tragedian.

Although Liu Yuqing made the right decision—no overlapping with Wilson’s running position—Treiter was still offline. He thought that if he did nothing, he would do nothing wrong. As a result, his position happened to be Liu Yuqing’s foothold after correcting his tactical path.

In other words, the entire tactic failed from the moment it was launched.

Others outside the tragedy division made mistakes in their running positions.

Naturally, the attack of this round can only be handled by the tragedy master himself.

The tragic master carried Kemp's body and couldn't get in at all, but he felt good, and even scored with a long-distance skyhook without getting rid of the defense at all.

The Lakers still scored, but Louie couldn't be happy.

Nelson sighed: "There is still a long way to go."

And the excitement that Lu Yilian had just labeled as "Meteor" completely disappeared.

Because it was purely a fluke.
