the rest, only noise

Chapter 291 If you win this game, you will be successful
"Lu, when the game started, you said 'this group of people can't do it'."

At halftime, Chuck Daly asked Louie a question.

"It means literally." Louis said helplessly, "We are unfortunately in the same division as Boston. If you want to reach the finals and win the championship, there are only two or three people in this group that can be used."

Louis didn't hold back, and told Daly very clearly.

"You can't compete for a title with just two or three guys."

Of the two or three people that Louis mentioned, Daly roughly knew which ones they were.

Obviously, Worthy, Parish, Vinier.

Others are worse.

Just compare the front nine of the Celtics and Lakers.

Take the Celtics as an example, they are Bird, Sampson, Thomas, Lang, Lambiel, Maxwell, Angie, Paxson, Peterson.

Whatever you want, the Pistons have good strength on paper, but if they want to play against the Celtics, they are still a little bit worse.

In the first half, the Knicks prescribe the right medicine, with the correct strategy, efficient tactical execution and the excellent performance of the two insiders Cummings and Bannister, leading the Pistons by 14 points.

This result was beyond everyone's expectations.

When Louis was interviewed at halftime, he explained the reasons for Bernard King's poor performance: "He hasn't adapted to my tactical system yet, you should give him some time."

Louis and Jin have conflicts, and they are on the bright side.

But they didn't break their faces, and they didn't make trouble to the point of "the fish died and the net broke, and they left tonight".

Moreover, Jin recognized Louis' coaching ability.

He had mixed feelings about Louie when he beat him in the three-point bet in preseason training camp.

There is fear in it, surprise in it, and even a little admiration.

However, psychological changes are changes, and it is a fact that he lost a whole year's salary.

Can you feel good when you think of how much money you will make in the next year?Can you be active in the game?
In his heart, Jin was expecting Lord Louis to do a lot, such as annulling their bet in private, so that they could turn their fights into jades and turn the previous things over.

He swore that as long as Louie did it, he would play for it.

It turned out that Louie's EQ was lower than he thought.

Instead of intending to void the bet, he kept talking about it all day long, excited about the fact that he could get an extra $90 in salary next year.

This leaves Kim in the deepest tangle ever.

In all fairness, Louie wins beautifully.

He is good at shooting three-pointers. Only Tomjanovich knows about the Knicks. He pointed out that it was his fault for the bet without investigating the situation clearly. He was convinced when he lost, but the price was too damn high!A full $90!

Mr. Louis was small and refused to give up. He couldn't renege on his debts, and at the same time he was unwilling, so there was a downturn in the first half of tonight.

What Louis and the King of New York thought were completely different.

Next year, his domestic basketball school will be completed. At that time, there will be no need to use money to recruit teachers, select coaches, and send players to the United States to study in the future.

Bernard King's money, he is ready to invest in the country.

Kim's own mood, he doesn't care.

Whether he is angry or discouraged, whether he is paddling on the court, maliciously sabotaging the team's tactics and continuing to confront him, all of them can indirectly help him achieve his plan: to be bad.

If Jin does something, he can logically assign part of the responsibility for the team's poor record to him.

He is pretending to be dead now, and he looks like he is not full. When the time comes, the record will be poor, and the blame will not be able to escape.

So, no matter what, Louis will not suffer.

In the dressing room, he praised his players for their first-half efforts.

"We led the opponent by 14 points when Bernard had no desire to attack. This is a very good performance!" Louie said loudly, "We need to make persistent efforts in the second half. A good start is half the battle. If we finish tonight's game, the rest will be easy!"

Both Tomjanovich and Phil Jackson automatically interpreted Louie's words as: If you win this game, you can lose whatever you want later.

Louis analyzed the reasons why the team was able to take the lead in the first half.

"James Worthy's downturn has helped us a lot. Bernard is bad enough. He is worse than Bernard." Louis said with a smile, "In the second half, no matter who you face James, you must attack him. Consumption is the first, and his confidence is the second. Don't be stingy with your own trash talk, and 'communicate' with him more."

"Also, to maintain the quality of passing in the first half."

Louis called Stockton: "John, since everyone calls you a general, you can strictly demand yourself by the standards of a general. On the battlefield, a general who makes a wrong decision will ruin the entire army. On the court, one mistake by you will cost us a round of offensive opportunities."

"You did a good job in the first half and continued in the second half."

Only Louie knows how much the Knicks' current lineup affects Stockton's performance.

Originally, he wanted to play more pick-and-roll routines around Stockton, but he had the desire to call the pick-and-roll, and the others didn't have the tacit understanding and ability to finish the pick-and-roll.

Stockton's offensive line is often blocked by someone, and only Cummings can disassemble into a good position.

The situation was bad, but Stockton was not discouraged, and revitalized the Knicks' offense in his own way.

His performance was 100 points.

The perfect performance did not earn him the qualification to start the second half.

Louie doesn't want people to see that "Stockton is a player who can help the team win points."

If it was visible, people would say, and then he would have to play more minutes for Stockton, and the guy would have allowed the Knicks to win a few more games they could have lost.

A good tank driver should know how to assess the situation.

Just like directors like Chen Sicheng, they must know how to outsource the competition into an attractive film, and lure the pigs in to kill them.

There must be three fierce quarters in the game, half a quarter of hard work, and a half quarter of disarming.

In this way, the winners achieve the goal of training, and the losers feel that they deliberately lost the game. They won the present and they won the future.

There must be such a game where there are winners and losers, but no losers, so that the fans can have the patience to survive the long night.

Of course, the length of the night cannot be too long.

Like the Clippers in the future, the Timberwolves in the post-Garnett era, and the Kings in the post-Adelman era, it's really too much.

After the start of the second half, the problems of the Pistons became more and more obvious.

They are obviously a team with stronger immediate combat power and talent, but their performances are all kinds of strange.

Obviously he mainly focuses on passing and cutting inside and outside, but he rarely moves without the ball.Most of the time, the ball holder and his corresponding someone are moving, and others are watching; the most beautiful match in the game is Worthy's strong side launching a high pick-and-roll, and Vinier's weak side cutting in, catching the ball and attacking the basket.It was a rare three-man match for the Pistons that night.

From this game, we can see why they were baptized by the Celtics with 140 points in the last game.

The chemical reaction between the players is too bad. Worthy is trying to force the transition to a big ball-holding core, but it is not successful so far.

The Knicks did what was necessary to win.

Parish has blocks, can switch defenses, and looks like a modern insider, but Bannister and Cummings prefer to play classic inside routines with him, relying on hits, screens, and cuts to catch the ball.

If you switch to a team that pays more attention to the inside, Parish can fully support the task of protecting the basket in the penalty area.

The Pistons are not a team that focuses on the inside, otherwise they would not let Worthy play the [-]th position while letting him hold the ball on the offensive end as a big C.

What's this?This is how the Celtics used Bird. It was Louie's creative role positioning for Bird. It was a decision that fully considered Bird's technical characteristics and shortcomings. Can Worthy copy that setting?Of course it's impossible, I don't have that ability.

The Knicks' offense is even more active. Although two inside and three outside are the norm, Louis has given the ball holder a lot of authority.

As long as the ball handler wants to pick and roll, everyone else has to cooperate.

Sparrow made a few good passes and woke up Bernard King.

The King of New York broke out and scored consecutive points when the Knicks were close to securing the victory.

In comparison, after the piston is in position, it will not move without the ball, and there will be less linkage between the strong and weak sides.Then either Worthy and the guard will support the duo in a high position, or whoever holds the ball and finds a pick-and-roll.

Tripka is actively moving without the ball, but most of them are not restrained, but they want to position themselves, so even if the Pistons players have excellent personal abilities, the Knicks can keep up;

In the fourth quarter, there was basically no suspense in the game.

Louie waved his hand and made a fancy rotation, and everyone except Darnell Walker got a chance.

"Messiah's first win at MSG is coming!"

Louie asked his assistants: "You said if I light a cigar now, will Coach Daly break up with me?"

"Better not," Tomjanovich advised.

"That's right, we may lose ten games in a row, so let's keep a low profile." Louis smiled.

118 is better than 102
Louie's first regular-season game as coach of the Knicks ended in victory.
