the rest, only noise

Chapter 355

Spot Webber can get anything and everything under the Lakers' line defense. Looking at his performance, you can see why the Lakers have fallen in front of the Celtics for two consecutive years.

The Celtics' three trump cards cannot be handled by the Lakers.

Bird can only count on him to fight and injure himself like before last year's finals. Sampson's height, speed, athleticism, and skills can completely restrain Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who is nearly forty years old.Then there's Isiah Thomas, who hasn't quite exploded in the Finals the past two years.

If Webber can embarrass the Lakers a little bit, what will happen to an all-out Thomas?
Thomas has not played a 50+ offensive output against the Lakers so far, which shows that the Lakers have not pushed the Celtics to a desperate situation.

Early in the second quarter, Riley asked Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Maurice Lucas to lead the second unit.

The magician and Wilkins went down to rest, and the other three of the Lakers' second team were Byron Scott, Trent Tucker, and Mike McGee (Mike McGee SG).

It is a long-term choice of the Lakers to let Lucas play Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Just like James needs a shooter, Duncan likes to play with a center who can stretch out. After 1976, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar needs a thug who can help grab rebounds and block fights.

As for the three outside lines, it is the choice of the Lakers to follow the trend.

Pat Riley has seen how comfortable the wide-open Celtics are, and now has a group of outside shooters.

The Knicks lineup has changed little.

Louis asked Webber to continue playing, and Ellis, who played the first quarter, came down to rest. Gerald Wilkins, who had no "brother fetters", was also replaced, replaced by Tony Campbell, Alex Stevens, and AC Green and Ball's inside line.

In this lineup, only Campbell started.

The other four are all 85-level rookies.

At the beginning of the game, the Knicks' style of play was still the same as Louis ordered.

Without Ewing and Oakley, he resolutely gave up offensive rebounds and retreated, and did not give the Lakers a chance to play Show Time.

Moreover, the defense against the Lakers' shooters is also particular.

Putting Scott on the top of the arc, putting Tucker on the bottom corner, and letting McGee's left and right wing outside three-pointers, these are all accurate data that Louie got from Oracle.

These points are all the shooting blind spots of several Lakers shooters.

Moreover, the candidate against Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is even more interesting.

He had AC go for Kareem, Bol flanked, and Lucas was a given up attacker.Because of his brutality and toughness, AC and Boll were always delivering food, so they simply ignored him.

Weber also gave up on this point, only preventing penetration but not shooting.If the opponent wants to push hard, it depends on Boll's defense.

If the opponent's brain twitch chooses to shoot, it is God bless.

The ones who can really limit the Lakers' shooters are Campbell and Stevens.

Especially Stevens, since Louie left him, he started to work hard. He spent twice as much training time as others every day, and every second of every game, whether he played 1 minute or 10 minutes, worked hard.

Louis didn't ask much of him, attacking Buddha nature, casually, defending must give full play to Spider-Man's physical advantages, focusing on assisting defense, supplemented by interference, and fouling severely when necessary, treating himself as a mad dog.

When "Spider" became "Mad Dog", a harsh defensive tactic was formed in Louie's mind.

Ball's defense is very sharp. When Scott wants to use his body to force Webber, he will take the cap.

The Lakers' shooters didn't work either, Stevens bit and Campbell's matchup was fine.

The only problem is what Louis was worried about in advance. AC might be overwhelmed by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Bol's slot would be bullied to death by Lucas' pig-killing bandit.

As a result, his worst fears became reality.

Playing AC, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar catches the ball without any adjustments, and just puts his elbow against the person and just makes a skyhook.

It doesn't matter if you don't go in, Lucas swung his arm that might have shattered Ball's skeleton away from the position, and swiped the board continuously.

Due to the huge rebounding advantage, the Lakers' offensive fault tolerance rate has increased infinitely, and the game has gradually become dominated by the Lakers.

The weakness of Webber's inability to shoot was seized by the opponent, and Scott led the others to retreat to learn from the Knicks' pocket formation to force Webber and others to shoot.

What is worrying is that Webber and Stevens are both ice shooters in the Knicks. Campbell's three-pointers are a bit tricky, sometimes accurate, sometimes not accurate.

Tonight, he won't allow it.

Stevens retreated to the paint in order to help the inside protect the rebound but failed to grab it. Lucas caught the offensive rebound and made a pass to Tucker for a three-pointer.

44 is better than 32
Louis requested a timeout.

"Don't be discouraged, you are doing a good job."

Letting AC and Ball touch Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Lucas was considered a mistake by Louis. He underestimated the 39-year-old Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and overestimated the immediate combat power of AC and Ball.

After all, they are all rookies, so it is impossible to beat those two old guys.

Louie was up and down decisively.

Back to Stockton, and then put on Ewing and Oakley.

Ewing has an effect from the beginning.

At the top of the arc, Ewing gave Stockton a fake block.

How can Lucas understand the Knicks' tactics, he didn't notice Ewing's cut, and only cared about defending Stockton.

Stockton made a nice pass.

Ewing caught the ball in the middle and jumped up, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who couldn't jump up, had to be dunked.

"This defense," Chamberlain said with a sinister smile, "Hohoho! Kareem was in a daze just now, right? Coach Riley won't be angry seeing his defense? Look at Coach Riley's expression, what a scary Coach Riley."

34 is better than 44
Ewing's pick-and-roll score was returned by Lucas in the next round.

Oakley was behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Ewing stepped up to guard Lucas.

Before crossing, Louis had a misunderstanding about these old-age thugs.

He thought that this group of people was dedicated to fighting and picking trouble on the court, and the most they could do was grab a few rebounds.

Facts have proved that his view is not only wrong, but wrong.

The few powerful thugs he has seen, Lambiel, he is not a thug, but he is a master of things, he has a shot that extends beyond the three-point line; Oakley, a stable half-block shot with a little bit of amazing coping ability; This old man's card position highlights, and his shooting, belongs to the level that you dare to put, he dares to shoot and dare to enter, absolutely cannot be underestimated.

Ewing was shot by him because he didn't take it seriously.

Ewing's screen once again helped his teammates create opportunities.

Louis shook his head, not unhappy, but surprised.

His shaking of the head was sort of "why is this guy's cover so outrageous, isn't it great?"

In the future, Ewing will have to add at least 10 catties of flesh before his body can be considered mature.

Louie would prefer to gain less weight, though, if that would hurt his athleticism.

He doesn't need Ewing to be a meat shield on the inside. This kind of inside line with a sky-high range of activities will always play a role in assisting defense.

However, Ewing's beautiful screen cannot save Campbell's poor shooting touch.

"boom!"

When he missed a three-pointer, Louis was about to yell, "Retire."

Stevens jumped into the air like a madman, pushed the body of old Knicks general Darrell Tucker away, hugged the offensive rebound in his arms, and then fell to the ground.

McGee, who came to grab the ball, had a conflict with him. Just as the two were about to fight, Oakley stepped forward and pushed McGee to the ground.

"Stop me!" Louie yelled.

Oakley immediately changed his punching hand into a French military salute, and raised his hands open to show that he hadn't done anything.

Riley stepped into the court unhappily and yelled: "Isn't this a technical foul?"

"Pat, you need to know the principle of teasing first." Louie responded.

In the end, the referee gave Oakley a common foul.

"Is there a mistake?" Louie complained, "John, don't you see how fiercely that Lakers kid grabs the ball? He's not here to grab the ball, he's here to fight. Oak is just protecting his teammates!"

The referee John Wanak didn't want to argue with the thug who had punched the referee with a KO: "Little Lu, the penalty has been issued, please respect me."

"I respect you, who respects my players? If the coach's complaint can affect the judgment of the two of you, I will definitely scream like a fly!"

"Then I can only punish you."

"You can't do that, John." Louie laughed immediately. "You know I love you."

Wanak shouted helplessly: "Shut your mouth, Little Lu!"

Louis wanted to say a few more words, but Stevens came over to persuade him, "Coach, don't worry, I can continue to fight."

Louis patted him on the shoulder: "Pay attention to protecting yourself."

Stevens ran back, and Tomjanovich said unexpectedly: "We almost lost him."

"Yeah, almost." Louie didn't expect that keeping Stevens would make this guy feel like a chicken blood every day.

What the coaching staff didn't expect was that when Stevens said "I can continue to grab" he meant "I'll grab the ball back right away."

The Lakers passed the ball to Lucas, hoping that he would continue to use shots to deal with Ewing.

Ewing's defense is like a tiger attacking, logically speaking, he shouldn't do that.

Seems too aggressive?

However, when Ewing threatened Lucas' front, Stevens came to his back.

This was a premeditated attack.

Lucas puts the ball behind him just in time for Stevens to slap it away.

"Counterattack!"

Stevens dribbled the ball to the front court and dunked with both hands as fast as possible.
