the rest, only noise

Chapter 347 Two defeats for a BUG
Spotter Webber's speed caused the Celtics a little trouble at first, and soon, they found that Webber's three-pointers were worse than Isiah Thomas.

Therefore, if Weber calls the pick-and-roll again, Thomas will directly open up the space to win the defensive buffer zone to avoid being broken by Weber in one go.

This approach successfully limited Webber's offense.

Once Webber can't break in, and he doesn't have a three-point threat, it will cause the Celtics' defense to shrink extremely.

The Knicks just failed to handle the offense well in a few rounds, and they were hit by the Celtics in a 10-2 attack wave.

12 is better than 7
Louis called a timeout, and Weber's experiment was considered a failure.

At least before he practiced three-pointers, his speed can only play a role of a changer against the Celtics more often.

That feeling is a bit like Chen Jianghua's appearance under Li Chunjiang's subordinates.

With Webber's figure, his shooting must be practiced hard. If he can't practice shooting, Louis can't imagine how he can survive in the league.

This timeout, Louie made a bold substitution.

Off Webber, Campbell, Ewing, replaced by Stockton, and two new aids Alex Stevens and George Johnson.

John Moster called Louie's substitution "a radical and risky move."

"These two people just joined the Knicks a few days ago. What is certain is that they don't know anything about the tactical system. It is really not conducive to their performance to directly let them appear in the game against the Celtics."

During this timeout, Louis arranged the most defenses.

As long as the Celtics have a pick-and-roll, they will resolutely switch defenses, even if they are inside defensive backs.

The purpose of switching defenses is not to create space for the opponent with tactics, and to force the opponent to single out as much as possible.

If the opponent is a tough and constipated team like the Philadelphia 76ers, it is still useful. For the Celtics, forcing them to single-handedly is tantamount to asking them to use their personal abilities to end the game.

This is not difficult for them at all.

The Celtics ran a pick-and-roll like a tiger, tearing apart the Knicks' lineup.

After a mess, the matchup on the court became Oakley-Bird, Stockton-Sampson, Johnson-Thomas, Ellis-Lambier, and Stevens-Long.

Guys, it's almost all misplaced.

Thomas speeded up and rushed, and Stevens decisively gave up Lang to double-team.

The Assassins split the ball, 15 to 7.

John Long's three was deadly.

Louie shook his head and said to Tomjanovich, "There's a reason why that kid can't play in Seattle. He doesn't use his brain when he plays."

"He's from Seattle, after all, where the default is that you don't need to defend shots from beyond the arc."

"As a result, let go of the most accurate shooter in the league?"

In the first round, Louie had already disappointed Stevens.

He is not without advantages. His advantages are obvious. He is 6 feet 8 (203CM), nicknamed Spider, has a long wingspan, and plays desperately.

In terms of effort, he's the hardest guy on the court.

As long as he is on the field, he will run non-stop, and when he does not lose his position on defense, he can cover his opponent because of his physical condition.

However, his offensive skills are lacking, his golf quotient seems to have problems, his judgment of the game is low, and he often makes choices that make Louis frown.

George Johnson was completely in a state of retirement. He came up to go shopping, and it took only 30 seconds for Louis to replace him.

Louie would rather see Stevens running around like a headless chicken than go shopping on the field.

AC Green replaced Johnson, and the Knicks played a double dwarf lineup.

Stockton commanded the offense and defense. As soon as he came back, the Knicks' offense gradually became organized, and it was no longer as chaotic as before.

Louis gradually discovered the only weakness of this Celtic team.

The roster is not as deep as it was a few years ago.

In the starting lineup, John Long was a matchup weakness, Bird couldn't defend against athletic small forwards, Thomas was lacking in size, and their offensive and defensive rhythm was so suffocating. Sampson's defense contributed a lot, and he filled the gaps of the other four.

But the difference between the Celtics bench and the strength of the starting lineup is not 01:30.

Although there are super sixth and seventh men like Walton and Angie, and a solid substitute like Jim Peterson, there is still a gap compared to 1984.In terms of substitutes, they are not as good as the Lakers.

So Louis deliberately rotated ahead of schedule to replace the core strength.

Let Stockton lead the Musketeers to deal with the Celtics, and when KC made a substitution, suddenly, the Knicks came up with a lineup of Stockton, Ellis, Wilkins, AC and Ewing to grab points.

The defense of this lineup is full of pressure.

The Knicks returned to the original style of play, with brutal collisions and frequent physical contact, like a hand-to-hand battle that would make Walton scrapped on the spot.

In addition, the Knicks' game has a side of seeking stability. Their rhythm is the third slowest in the league.

Louis's idea is to "grind" rather than "run", and does not advocate the idea of ​​increasing the number of rounds to strengthen the opponent's consumption.

Although Ewing often has the problem of being out of position, if he and Oakley play together, the Knicks' rebounding efficiency can be ranked among the top five in the league. With the two as the core, they play a retro style of slow rhythm, more rebounds, and fewer shots. Coupled with Stockton's first playing time in the team, they lead teammates, command Ewing, increase hand-to-hand combat and physical confrontation, and make the opponent's shooting percentage drop rapidly.

The Knicks already have the embryonic form of a strong team in the East, and their defense is very targeted.

In order to prevent the second team from being chased too many points, KC was forced to let Sampson come up to stabilize the situation.

Seeing the Celtics hastily changing teams, Zhao Yuanzheng said to Louis, "Perhaps the key to defeating Boston lies in their second team."

"That's right, if the second lineup can't keep the fruits of victory, KC will have to shorten the rotation." Tomjanovich looked like a spirited guy excitedly, "The price of doing this is to reduce the rest time of the main players. If the rest time is reduced, the physical strength will decrease, and the efficiency of physical strength decline will also decrease."

They had a good idea, and Louis noticed it, but it was impossible to address the issue on the spot right now.

Because after Sampson came up, the situation was reversed.

Louie suddenly found that who to match up with Sampson was a more thorny issue than who to deal with Byrd.

Ewing's current confrontation with him is to let the fate of the mermaid go. Louis didn't want to hurt his self-confidence, so he asked Oakley to try.

As a result, Sampson saw Louis let a 203 cm guard to defend himself, with a contemptuous expression on his face, making various attempts.

Facing Sampson who chose to pull up, Oakley's height has become his biggest shortcoming, and he has nothing to do about it.

Later, Louis became obsessed and asked Boer to guard against it.

Let the result of Bordeaux defense be even more appalling.Although Ball's height is much higher than Sampson's, his mobility, coordination, strength, and physical fitness are all far behind.Compared with Ball, Sampson is more like an alien creature, and Ball is at most an alien deformity.

Sampson's perfect combination of height, wingspan, athletic ability, coordination and technology successfully took back the little advantage the Knicks had just played.

"What a monster!"

Zhao Yuanzheng has been shown to be stupid. The Knicks' insiders are fighting against Sampson. Everyone is like a dish in front of him. Ewing is at best a hard dish.

However, the biggest difference is that this year is Sampson's fifth season, while Ewing is just about to play his first season.

The age gap between them is not as big as the professional league experience gap.

Ewing is only 2 years younger than Sampson.

Strictly speaking, they can be regarded as "peers". Ewing's 2-year-old Sampson is the number one center in the league and the second in the world. Will Ewing reach his current level in two years?I'm afraid it will be difficult.

When Sampson and Thomas are on the court at the same time, the Celtics' tactical focus is shifting towards the former.

Although Thomas is the initiator of the system, the ball is in the hands of Sampson.

This is a symbol of strength.

Even Thomas, acquiesced that Sampson was the second star of the Celtics.

In the second quarter, Sampson came up to break the suspense of the game.

This is no exaggeration at all.

In the second half, Louis had already changed "Well, think of a way to fuck him" into "Mr. You, why the hell don't you dare to fight with the number one C in the league? What are you afraid of?".

The game gradually turned into an inescapable defeat.

At least, Louis and the others still found something.

KC Jones did not do a good job in the rotation of the lineup, especially the connection between the first team and the second team. The chemical reaction between Walton, Angie and Thomas is obviously not as good as Sampson and Bird.

If he does not change this rotation for a long time, it is tantamount to leaving a loophole waiting for someone to exploit.

It is equivalent to saying that the Knicks exchanged two disastrous defeats for a loophole in the Celtics.

The only consolation is that compared with the previous game, Ewing did not play in a mess. Although he was completely at a disadvantage in the matchup with Sampson, he has an advantage against the Celtics' other insiders.

There is no shame in losing to Sampson. Any insider who is active in front of him will end up not much better than Ewing.
