"Do you have any eyebrows?"

Louis looked at Zhao Yuanzheng, wondering if they had discovered anything.

"Well." The game has entered garbage time, and the coaching staff decided to think about the future.

Louis pretended to be listening, and Zhao Yuanzheng picked up the data he had written on the sidelines and said: "Isiah's peripheral threat is still very mediocre. In addition to his offensive and defensive influence, Ralph can also become Boston's second attacking point besides Larry Bird at critical moments."

"Where's Larry?"

"Coach. Our current strength is not enough for Larry to take this game seriously." Zhao Yuanzheng said heartily.

Louis smiled bitterly. In fact, Bird's reconnaissance report was the least necessary.

For a player like him, the advantages are always advantages, and the disadvantages are always disadvantages.

Stars with mediocre bodies but mature skills all have this characteristic, unlike those physically talented men with rough hands.

"Anything worth noting about Ralph?"

"I don't know if this counts." Zhao Yuanzheng said uncertainly, "After Ralph's fierce confrontation on the defensive end, the next round of offense will have a certain ups and downs, at least tonight."

Louis took a look at the data and found a common feature in the data.

Sampson's ups and downs after each confrontation happened in the matchup with Ewing.

Judging from the scene, Ewing was embarrassed by him.

Strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with this flow of impressions.

Ewing tried his best to defend and dared to fight. This is not reflected in the statistics. In addition, Sampson's offense is generally smooth, so it gives people a feeling that Ewing can't defend.

However, Sampson is a player who likes to attack with the ball very much. Once Ewing fails to keep up with him, someone else will switch defenses.

Small forward-like offense with the ball is a trait that distinguishes Sampson from other insiders.

The existence of this trait prevents Ewing from always maintaining a matchup state.

Therefore, Sampson often breaks other people's assistance defenses and supplementary defenses.

From the look and feel, it was Sampson who blasted all the Knicks' defenses by himself.

"It shows that Patrick's defense against Ralph is correct." Louis looked at the statistics, "Some of his little moves played a role."

Zhao Yuanzheng said: "Maybe, maybe not, it's hard to explain the problem with a sample of one game."

"It doesn't matter, we still have three games that can be used as samples." Louie laughed.

The rematch between the Knicks and the Celtics in the Garden ended with the victory of the Celtics.

124 is better than 108
Bird, who threatened to beat the Knicks by 30 points, did not fulfill his words.

Even though the Knicks were suppressed all the way, Sampson proved who is the league's number one center, and Bird's triple-double made people feel that the green-blooded people are difficult to beat, but their opponents don't think so.

Louis walked to the familiar media interview room and answered questions.

A reporter asked: "What do you think of the Patrick Ewing-Ralph Sampson duel?"

"This is an opportunity for Patrick to learn and improve. He should cherish this opportunity. Ralph is the best insider in the league and the most outstanding player among all players under the age of 25. He is destined to be the master of the future."

Louie blew Sampson up.

Then brake suddenly.

"However, this is only Patrick's first season, and his future has unlimited possibilities. Tonight, he performed better than the last time he played against the Celtics."

Today, Ewing scored 18 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks.

Sampson on the opposite side had a dominant 39 points, 19 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 blocks. However, according to the statistics of the Knicks, Sampson's overall shooting percentage was close to [-]%.

In general, Ewing, who was completely blown up, played a bright spot in some details that no one noticed.

A day later, the Knicks played back-to-backs again.

This is the last game before December.

Host the Philadelphia 76ers, also in the Atlantic Division.

If Sampson is the league's first insider, Moses Malone is the league's second or third insider.

In addition to Sampson, there is only one person who may be better than him, and that is Houston's Olajuwon.

Before the game, Louis arranged a difficult task for Ewing.

He wants Ewing to grab more rebounds than Malone.

If it can't be done, Ewing needs to treat the whole team to a meal.

Ewing himself has no objection to this, he and Ma Long have a problem.The opponent is the first active superstar to publicly express dissatisfaction with his salary.

Moreover, Malone has repeatedly stated that Olajuwon is much better than Ewing.

For Ewing, who defeated Olajuwon head-on in the national finals, this is not a trivial matter that can be understated.

So, Louis set this goal, and Ewing accepted the task emotionally.

The Knicks had some troubles as soon as the game started.

Dr. J Owen rushed in with the ball in a row to tear through the pocket formation, and Malone's strength in grabbing offensive rebounds was better than every performance of Sakamichi Miryu's excessive force.

He excitedly fought hand-to-hand with Ewing, taking advantage of his strength, and swallowed Ewing's position over and over again.

Sometimes, Ewing is obviously stuck, but because of his lack of strength, Ma Long pushes him to the point where he can't move.

Malone controlled him to take off, but at the same time he was able to find the space to grab the rebound.

In less than halftime, Malone grabbed 10 rebounds, while Ewing only had a wretched 3.

Louie breathed out the fragrance, motivating Ewing and Marlon to fight it out.

In the second half, Ewing lost control of his emotions, made consecutive fouls, and finally left the game with 12 points and 11 rebounds and six fouls.

With Ewing out, the 76ers used the athleticism of their wings to press the Knicks' rookies and sophomores.

The ills of young people have been revealed. Stockton himself is not the kind of big core with the ball. He is a playmaker, but he does not have a daunting offensive threat.

Therefore, he is a typical player. If his teammates are strong, he is strong, and if his teammates are weak, he is also weak.

The Knicks, who were clinging to the game, collapsed in the fourth quarter and lost to the 76ers and suffered a two-game losing streak.

The Knicks, who have suffered a losing streak, have a good record.

13 wins and 6 losses, ranking third in the East, higher than the Bulls, second only to the Pistons and Celtics.

On the first day of December, Louis, as usual, replayed the loss to the 76ers.

Ewing's foul problem was pointed out by him. Unlike before, he did not lose his temper, but explained in detail why he fouled.

"Patrick, I like the courage you have shown in these few rounds, and your determination to fight Moses to the end."

"But have you ever wondered why you keep fouling him?"

"Your feet are too soft. I'm not criticizing you, I'm stating a fact. Your feet can't exert force, so you can't do anything about his positions and fights. To improve this problem is actually very simple, just throw yourself into the gym."

Louis sighed.

"You should have solved these problems in college, otherwise what's the point of your four years there?"

As long as there is a problem with Ewing, Louie will throw the responsibility on John Thompson.

After a long time, even Ewing himself felt that he was cheated by Thompson.

These thoughts made him feel guilty. How could he think that Thompson was his mentor?

"Your upper and lower limbs currently lack overwhelming strength, so the top priority is to strengthen training in this area."

Ewing said hesitantly: "If I practice too much strength, my shooting will be affected."

His appearance of being so responsible and responsible made Louis unable to laugh even if he wanted to.

Louis said lightly: "Patrick, if we need your shots to guarantee the victory, then the Knicks' current record should be 6 wins and 13 losses ([-])."

Ewing blushed, he didn't want himself to have no effect on winning.

He wants people to say he's a big reason why the Knicks are third in the East.

Every core player wants to be recognized.

Louie pushed that thought out of his head with all his might and instilled another.

"If your strength can become better, you can beat Moses when you are stuck, and you will also perform better when you are facing Ralph." Louie emphasized the future. "It doesn't matter if the shooter feels the impact at this stage. As long as your strength and weight can be increased in an orderly manner to the stage where you can compete with them, it will not be too late to practice shooting."

From Ewing's defensive habits, positioning habits, foul problems, to weight and strength.

Louis put the steps of training Sampson on Ewing.

It's just that Ewing is a little older, and Louis has a more sense of urgency for him.

From this day on, Ewing's training without the ball officially surpassed training with the ball.

In the first game of the new month, the Knicks played against the Western Conference powerhouse, the Denver Nuggets under crazy coach Doug Moe.

Before the game, Louis ingeniously put Mario Eli in the starting lineup, focusing on the outside line of attack.

A team with 10 offenses and 0 defenses doesn't know what will happen if they completely empty the shooters.

As a result, the Knicks made a record 17 three-pointers and beat the Nuggets 139-114.

(5) In reality, the Knicks, who used Ewing as the savior, started with an eight-game losing streak, with 14 wins and [-] losses in the same period.

　Cherish life and stay away from LPL.
