the rest, only noise

Chapter 1166 The ultimate basketball game

Most great moments come when people aren't ready for it.

The Christmas game between the Lakers and the Trail Blazers in 1995 was not as dark as people thought before the game.

In fact, the state of the Blazers is disappointing.

They did not show convincing strength at all.

Considering that even Jordan couldn't stop the rapidly rising point difference in the fourth quarter, those voices about the Blazers sweeping the league like the Heat last season should disappear.

This is the first time Louie has bet on the new system.

"Beautiful Basketball" blooms the best side of basketball in the rose garden.

Whether Blazers fans admit it or not, this is the best game they've ever seen.

In the second half, the Knicks used "shooting star" tactics throughout.

A total of 42 positional battles, 7 turnovers, 8 misses, and 27 successes.

Terrible hit rate.

Terrible conduction ball.

Terrible accuracy.

Incredible tactical path.

Dazzling offensive routines.

Riley tried to get the coaching staff to study the Lakers' new tactics.

But his teaching assistant shook his head gravely.

Because every offense of the Lakers, almost none of them are the same.

"Are you trying to tell me they played 42 plays in the second half with absolutely no repetition?" Riley yelled, "That's impossible!!!"

Riley also doesn't believe such tactics exist in the world.

For the Lakers coaching staff, what happened in this game is also inspiring.

It proves the feasibility of "Meteor" and the potential of "Beautiful Basketball".

"About four guys found their 'whale landing,'" Nelson said incredulously. "In this game, their understanding of tactics reached a new level."

What puzzled Byrd was: "'The shooting star' is probably the most complicated tactic I've ever seen. But once they understand the 'whale fall', the use of the 'shooting star' tactic is as natural as muscle memory."

"Watching the ball off the court is different from playing on the court after all." Kareem Abdul-Jabbar rarely expressed his opinion.

Hearing this, Byrd nodded slightly.

For a moment, he also wanted to play, and he also wanted to know what role he could play in the "Meteor" tactic.

But a back injury reminded him that his playing days were over.

The current him, even if he comes back, he will not be able to reach the top level.

He couldn't accept a role downgrade like the Tragedian.

Just like the tragedian will find ways to show his face in the future, team up with WNBA players to participate in the All-Star Weekend activities, and seize every opportunity to show his face-you will never see Bird self-deprecating and doing this kind of thing.

"if……"

"If only players who have initially mastered 'Whale Fall' can achieve this level..." Carlisle couldn't help but think about another question, "Then theoretically, what kind of game will those players who enter the 'Temple' play?"

"If there is such a day, if there is such a group of talented players, if we are lucky enough to witness, I dare say," Budenholzer looked at Louie's back, eyes full of adoring fanaticism, "It will be the ultimate team that has never been seen before or since."

133 is better than 104
The Christmas battle between the Lakers and the Trail Blazers took a surprising turn in the second half.

As if the Lakers were on the hook, they played an unsolvable fantasy offense and directly defeated the Blazers.

Even if Jordan scored 42 points, it would be difficult to save the defeat.

The first player Louie greets is the Tragedian.

After the first month of struggles, after that "man talk" with Louie, he let go.

Give up the original tactical status, lower your own role, and integrate into the new tactics as a role player.

The Tragedian was originally the source of a lot of mistakes in the "Meteor" tactic, and now he is an important reason why other members of the Templars can quickly adapt to the tactic.

He not only has a mastery of tactics, but also influences others with his moist and silent chemical reaction.

His golf IQ is amazing.

It was really hard for Louis to imagine the Knights without him.

The golf quotient of the tragic division is difficult to replace.

If Louie were to choose the player who would be the first to walk into the "temple" in the future, he might not choose Benj. From the perspective of basketball IQ, the tragic master has a better chance.

However, he is really not young anymore.

At the age of a tragedy master, how many years can he play?
a year?two years?Or three years?
In the near future, he will retire. At that time, who should make up for the huge gap in golf quotient in the Cavaliers?
"Coach, I'm really honored by this!" The tragedian excitedly clapped Louis and said, "It's great that you can come to Los Angeles!"

As a supporting role, the tragic division scored a quasi-triple double with 14 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists.

"I want to thank you, Erwin." Louis said sincerely, "Without you, the 'Meteor' tactic would not have become effective so quickly."

"No, coach, it was you who led the way, and it was Benj who led by example. I just did a little work."

At this time of business blowing, Wilson certainly cannot be absent.

"Evan, don't be too humble. Without you, our turnover rate would have skyrocketed by at least 20 percent."

Don't look at the tragedian who keeps pushing the credit, in fact he is a very showy person.Don't forget how much he enjoyed being in the public eye after retirement.

The reason why he gave all the credit to Louis and Wilson was mainly because of his high emotional intelligence. Secondly, he also believed that these two people would not really take the credit alone.

The tragedian was satisfied with the approval of Louis and Wilson, and walked towards the sideline reporter for an interview with a smile.

According to the rules, Louis had to shake hands with Riley and say a few polite words.

But today, both Louie and Riley are a little on top.

At the end of the first half, Riley said that the lag had nothing to do with the performance of the Lakers, but the Blazers themselves did not play well.He is like this, of course Louis will not let it go, directly saying that the Blazers are bad.

So the two don't have a good look at each other.

"Coach Lu, are you trying to find a new way out of the way I've broken down?" Riley asked mockingly. "You don't really think offensive basketball can be successful in this day and age, do you?"

As many observers have concluded.

The Blazers in 1993 were the most capable offensive team in history, so Riley is not wrong to say that this road has been rotted by him.

Are Louie and Riley on the same level though?
Coach Lu said arrogantly and arrogantly: "Before I embarked on this path, you can indeed say that. But from now on, you can no longer say that, because with me, the limit you created is no longer the limit. There is no other reason. As a coach, I am better than you."

"You can only see the footprints that you have stepped on over and over again, but you can't see the mystery behind the footprints." Louis said proudly, "This is the reason why you will never be able to touch perfection."

The conversation fell apart.

Louie's arrogant speech made Riley's teeth itch.

But he couldn't refute it.

There was nothing about him better than Louie except age.

If Louie says there are other ways for offensive basketball to go, there really are other ways.

Because since 1980, every step forward in professional basketball has traces left by Louie.Today, he has created an era of national defense. Everyone is imitating the Knicks to build a team, and everyone wants to play a suffocating defense.

Including Riley is also learning Louis.

He is already a master who has established a school. Even if his professional achievements stop here all his life, he will be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with masters such as Reed Auerbach and John Wooden when he retires.

But he wasn't satisfied.

In Los Angeles, he took a different path.

Although Riley doesn't know where Louie can go, but tonight, the performance of the Lakers has proved that he is indeed likely to reach the peak again.

Basketball has always been a scoring game.

The Knicks are perfect because of their defense, but only by attacking can they touch the ultimate basketball game. Always remember that this is a sport that scores more points than anyone else.

Riley looked at the back of Lu Yiyuan, recalled the words of the other party, and the performance of the Lakers, considering that he had taken over the team for less than half a year...

Isn't that creepy?
Riley just felt a chill down his spine, because he had a strong feeling.

The offensive ability displayed by the Lakers today may be far from reaching the limit.

Strictly speaking, the Lakers are still in the rebuilding period.

Although there are superstars like Wilson and veterans like Ellis and Tragedy, the team is still dominated by rookies.

That's it, after the state exploded, he was able to blow up the Blazers...

Riley became more and more afraid, and decided to study every game of the Lakers so far this season with the coaching staff.

He hopes to copy/learn something...

Taking shortcuts is like hugging your thighs. Either you never do it, or you become addicted, and then repeat it countless times.

The public opinion after the game was not friendly to the Blazers.

A team that claimed to sweep the league was defeated by the rebuilding Lakers in the Christmas game.

The 29-point difference is too glaring.

Jordan will inevitably be overturned.

For example, the media in Los Angeles are very talkative.

"Michael still can't beat Erwin Johnson, four years later, it seems like nothing has changed." - Los Angeles Daily News.
