the rest, only noise

Chapter 336: Card Position, Patrick
Jordan in 1986, the second season of his career, had several well-known shortcomings.

The three-pointer is an absolute shortcoming. He is still learning how to hit the three-pointer, and he has not yet felt the piercing pain from the inaccurate three-pointer.

It is said that he is not good at attacking from the left. Louis does not know how this spread, it is extremely unreliable.

"Can't" lead teammates to victory like Bird and Magic.

"Persisting on the scoring champion" is very selfish.In history, only one player has achieved the feat of leading the scoring and leading the team to the championship that season.

That man was Lou Alcindor in 1971, considered the best individual season in history.

But Jordan is a guard. There are too many examples of guards leading the scoring and then losing.

These doubts about Jordan have been broken in Louie's world, and Jordan experienced them again in Portland.

The difference is that Portland's teammates are much better than Chicago's.

Except for the point of not defending against three-pointers, Louis' defense against him requires the help of a second or third person.

The second-year Jordan is not as good at passing as the version of him in the 90s. At this time, he is more confident and obsessed with his offensive ability. He will only risk passing the ball when he is forced to do nothing.

However, his current passing cannot be compared with his 30-year-old self.

After the age of 30, Jordan is like the real version of Kiyoshi Teppei. The opponent may be able to block all his offensive lines, but they cannot block the passing line.He will send a very soft and smooth chance ball to his teammates when he is cornered.

Sadly, it's the winter of 1985, and Jordan is still a kid who thinks of himself as a superhero.

It was like a battle of wits between Louie and Jordan.

Louis believed the scouts saying that Jordan's offensive ability on the left was not good, but he didn't believe it all.

Forcing Jordan to go left, let the players try their best to block the possibility of him shooting to the right, coupled with Ewing's aggressive flanking and defensive coverage.

After suffering a loss in one round, Jordan learned to use the pass and cat-like smooth large-scale turns in the opposite direction to get rid of the defense.

Drexler was the beneficiary of Jordan's key siege.

Jordan would pass the ball to him and he would finish.

However, Louis Orr's defensive awareness surprised Louis very much.

He didn't seem to be serious about defending last season on a poor Knicks team, so Louie didn't know his true abilities.

Now it seems that although his defense is not up to the defense level, he also has above-average strength.

Just like Ron Harper, the Bulls' third consecutive player, even if he doesn't have a defensive line, but with him, the Bulls' flanking iron triangle can become a prison that strangles all teams.

Sometimes, the Knicks couldn't force Jordan to the left.

Because his first step is too fierce, which is still under the rules of the 80s.

In this era, the ball holder must first let the ball touch the ground before he can take the first step, unlike in the future, where he starts first and then dribbles, or only dribbles the ball once or twice throughout the court, which indulges players with no lower limit for viewing and fluency.

Under the existing rules, Jordan's explosive power in the first step can make the defender unable to react.

Ellis was a wooden man in front of him.

Jordan's breakthrough was like "123, don't move."

Ellis stood still and didn't respond. Jordan broke through and went to the basket. Ewing was ready to help defend, but he was too anxious.

Louis watched and shook his head straight: "When he was defending, he had no concept of the space in the entire paint area, no sense of space, and regarded every ball holder as a robber who broke into the goal."

Tomjanovich and other assistant coaches felt that Louie was too strict with Ewing.

The sense of space is a new vocabulary.

Who has an excellent sense of defensive space in the interior today?Who can stand in the right position every time when the opponent breaks through?

Probably none.

Ewing is also a "goalkeeper" who likes to attack. This aggressive and reckless defensive style is destined to be a dance on the tip of a knife, with great rewards and great risks.

Ewing's attack gave Jordan a chance to show off.

Jordan jumped up in front of Ewing, danced in the air, spun 180 degrees, hooked the ball with his back to the basket with his right hand, and hit the board.

"Beep!"

And they
"Patrick!" Louie shouted, "There is no Manute in the penalty area, you have to control your desires, use your brain, don't just see Michael and get adrenaline!"

Jordan also made an extra penalty, and then led his teammates to press forward.

Ewing cautiously served the ball to Wilkins, who wanted to pass it to Stockton.

However, Stockton is now marked by Jordan, he has no chance to catch the ball, and his body is squeezed to death.

But Wilkins actually saw a possible passing opportunity, and he tried to send the ball.

Then, like a black panther covered by the night, Jordan threw out at the fastest starting speed on land in the world. His right hand was like a canine tooth that had bitten the neck of the prey, and he grabbed the ball.
"Mommy!!"

Truke Robinson was like seeing a ghost: "This kid is not human!"

Zhao Yuanzheng laughed loudly: "Can you believe that Portland once wavered between him and Sam Bowie?"

54 is better than 40
One minute before halftime, Louie called a timeout.

The reality is cruel, they don't even have a player who can match up with Jordan.

If you can't put a little limit on his breakthrough, for example, you can touch his clothes, touch his arm, poke his stomach when you are stepped over. If you can do this, you can find a way to attack his dick the moment he breaks through.

Sadly, there isn't one.

It's useless for anyone to defend Jordan in his best form.

Wilkins was able to defend when he first went up, but now there is nothing to do with him.

Louis replaced Orr, an insider with above-average defensive ability, which is useless at the moment.

Because it takes two or three to defend against Jordan, and it may not be able to defend, even if he is defended, he can still find a good angle to shoot the ball.

If using such defensive resources can't prevent the opponent, what's the use of keeping a defensive player on the court?

Might as well go to extremes.

Louie was replaced by Antoine Kyle and Ewing.

one tall, one short;

one fat, one thin;

One defends the best on the team, and the other defends the worst on the team;
One can't get stuck, and the other can't grab rebounds.

"From now on, defense is secondary." Louis said emphatically, "I want to see more content on the offensive end."

Maybe the concept was wrong at the beginning. Things like pocket arrays are useful for Dr. J's pseudo-super giants who have no ability to attack, but Jordan doesn't care how many people are hidden in your pocket.

The opponent is inaccurate for three-pointers, but they can just rush in, and then pass the ball out, allowing teammates to score easily.

Moreover, at any time, he can increase his strength and steal the ball all over the court like just now.

There is a gap between the Knicks' wing talent and the Blazers. It is far from enough to rely on defense to stifle the Blazers' offense.

This is the lesson of playing 23 minutes and being 14 points behind.

Unlike before, Louis changed his style of play.

Although Ewing and Kyle are mainly pick-and-roll, most of the opportunities to end the offense come to them.

He wants to focus on the inside of the Blazers. It seems that Portland's worst is still inside.

It's just that the previous experience of flying an aircraft carrier made Louis think that the group of people under him were still the group of people in Boston.

Even for the Celtics, it is almost impossible to defend the Blazers' flanks.

Think of a Bernard King turning upside down right in front of them.

Ewing has a physical advantage, and Kyle's back-up skills are neat.

Before the end of the first half, the inside attack of the two of them recovered 2 points for the Knicks.

56 is better than 44
The Blazers lead by 12 points.

Louis said in an interview with the midfielder: "I don't know how the conflict happened. I only know that Xavier McDaniel is a young man who can't control his mouth. You can see him talking all the time. I won't disclose what I said."

The Blazers have a big advantage, and the reporters are only interested in the fight.

Louie went back to the locker room and scolded Ewing for some of his poor defensive choices, as well as his rebounding.

"I'm going to break my tongue, card position! card position! Patrick!" Louis patted the tactical board, "Truk, you should have taught him card position as I said, right?"

Robinson is worried that Louie will deduct his wages: "I swear on the name of my parents, I have taught them, but it takes time to get rid of certain habits."

In this game, Louis played very uselessly. The inside line should have been a big advantage, but it was evenly balanced.

"I really don't know what the hell is a coach who doesn't teach player positioning in four years of college!"

After getting angry, Louis picked up the tactical pen and pointed at the tactical board: "In the second half, I don't care who comes inside, just lay it down! I'd rather see them shoot 100 shots at the free throw line than see them make easy layups again! Show your blood!"

Play hard on the defensive end and play inside on the offensive end.

Louis changed his previous style and treated this game completely according to the standard of the playoffs. He must win.

Everyone left the locker room, Louis grabbed Ewing, and read like a repeater: "Slot! Check! I beg you, brother, Patrick!"

Ewing was so ashamed that he shook off Louis' hand and said, "Got it!!!"
