Chapter 395 Obedience (13)

Chapter 394

McHale's low-post offense is strong, Louis has long known.

It's just that in the previous game against the Bulls, Louis paid more attention to how not to be blown up by the little fat guy Barkley.

Although McHale is the more mature one, but in Chicago, he played happy basketball with Barkley, and he himself is very selfless.If Barkley is happy, he's happy to be a foil.

That's why he was traded.

When the Knicks came, Louis asked him to take on a more important role. He accepted the captain's armband, so he played hard.

Oakley never imagined that he would be so explosively killed by McHale.

The rookie team does not have a big center who can limit Ewing. Their advantage is that they are extremely balanced and have a leading brother.

McHale, Rodman, and Salley, these three all have speed and wingspan, height and strength, and they can rotate infinitely in defense.

Therefore, the rookie team often uses Sely's height to top Ewing, and Rodman and McHale assist from the side.

Tomjanovich also wants to take advantage of Ewing's matchup advantage to take the lead, but Ewing has never been a player with many opportunities to attack with the ball under Louis.

From his rookie season, Louie groomed him to be a center version of Kevin Garnett, or a Bill Russell better suited to the '80s.

Suddenly he was asked to play with the ball by himself, and naturally he made mistakes again and again.

The main team unexpectedly encountered difficulties.

The rookie team performed well, and Louis found that McHale's offense mainly had three ways.

Ultimate move one, jump hook.Both left and right hands can do it. The jump hook hit rate of the right hand is 100% in this game, and it can be used from all angles.

Secondly, turning around and leaning back to shoot can be done on both the left and right sides, and whether turning in and shooting inward or turning back and shooting outward is of a very high level.

He has never missed a 12-15-foot (4-5 meter) step-back jumper, which forces defenders to stick to him.

For a mutant who is extremely flexible and has a wingspan of 2 meters, having these three offensive skills means that he is a great inside offensive player.

When these solid offensive skills are combined with his unsolvable post moves, he is an unstoppable post player.

Rodman's defensive vitality has shown a little bit, and Ellis is so entangled by him that he can't run out of opportunities.

Although Hornacek has been ordered by Stockton many times, his shooting has already reached a considerable level.

After Benjamin Wilson gave up the offensive core position to McHale, he showed the running ability of UCLA players.

This is a detail that surprised Louis greatly.

He has always regarded Wilson as the kind of core attacker who doesn't like running and loves to play with the ball. Now it seems that his transformation may be smoother than expected.

McHale blasted everyone on the Old Man, with Wilson on the perimeter and Hornacek stretching his shots.

In contrast, the old team's status has not improved.

Tomjanovich made the mistake of having Ewing focus on the low post, which made him awkward.

Jackson cleverly used McHale as the core to blow up the old team's defense and won the game by 10 points.

In the 20-minute confrontation, the rookie team beat the old team 58 to 48.

McHale scored 27 points and Wilson 15 points.

The two of them arranged the offense, but the defense of Rodman, Sely and McHale was the key to the rookie team's victory.

The old team also has a matchup advantage with Ewing, and the other positions, without tactics, did not take advantage of one-on-one.

"What a disgrace! The main force lost!" Louis couldn't help complaining, "You won 50 wins in the regular season last season, but now you lose to the newcomers. Are you trying to make people look down on you?"

McHale laughed triumphantly: "It's okay, losing to your captain is no shame!"

Ewing was furious when he heard it, and said loudly: "One more time!"

"Patrick, since we lost, we have to admit defeat." Louis patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's not like we can't afford to lose, isn't it because an old guy from outside brought four rookies to do it? It's a shame, but he is one of us, and he certainly won't go out and talk around to ruin your reputation, don't you think so?"

The four rookies nodded humbly.

Only McHale said indifferently: "I can't guarantee this. The coach also said that you won 50 wins last season. Now I have led four rookies to win 10 points. I will definitely not be able to help telling others, ho ho ho!!"

"One more time!" Ewing said, walking up to McHale.

McHale looked at Louis with a smile on his face: "I listen to the coach."

"Let's leave it at that today, and continue tomorrow. If you are not convinced, hold back. Who made you lose the game? I want to get back to the game and wait until tomorrow!"

Louie didn't want to take the risk of increasing their consumption by playing two matchups in a row.

At the end of the match, the players had an hour of personal basic training, and then the assistant coach led them to conduct special training.

Sharif taught shooting, Robinson taught positioning and screen pick-and-rolls, and Zhao Yuanzheng pulled Oakley, Rodman, Sely, Corbin, and Stevens to practice full-court pressing.

Louis saw Wilson practicing in the corner with Song Tao.

Wilson has watched the Knicks' playbook for this season and found that some of them are UCLA's offense, while some are unfamiliar to him, similar to UCLA's offense but with a very different running path.

Louis positions him as a forward and guard swingman. He mainly plays the third position and swings to the second position when necessary. Therefore, there are many tactics that need to be memorized, and he is one of the only players in the team who has a dedicated singles tactics.

What he is practicing with Song Tao now is the routine of the outside center taking the ball, using his body as a cover, and allowing people without the ball to run out of opportunities before passing the ball.

This is a simple Exchange Ricky (high dynamic offense).

Although Wilson and Song Tao spoke differently, it was very simple to complete this kind of training.

"Nice, Benj," Louie complimented.

Wilson paused and asked, "Coach, I want to know where you plan to put me."

"Did you watch our games last season?" Louie asked him.

Wilson must have watched it. He nodded and said, "Almost every game."

"How do you think Tony Campbell is doing?"

"He is overrated." Wilson said this without looking down on Campbell, but just stating a fact, "Among all teams at the same level as the Knicks, only he can get such a good offensive focus. He is very good at scoring points in chaos, and the Knicks' tactics are also biased towards him. He often disrupts tactics and forces himself to play alone, and he is also the fastest runner in counterattack fast breaks."

Louie asked, "Why do you think I gave him such a high tactical status?"

"Because the Knicks lack reliable isolation players?"

"This is one reason, and the more important reason is that there is no more suitable candidate than him." Louis said to Wilson, "Now that you are here, you will take over Tony's position. He was our scoring leader last season. You should be able to easily inherit this role, but I hope you will raise your requirements on yourself and not be satisfied with the team's scoring leader."

Wilson listened carefully, and Song Tao pretended to understand, which was a bit like listening English for poor students.

Every time he listened to the English dialogue, he would seriously write down an answer on the test paper.You think he has a well-thought-out plan, but in fact he just completed the choice with "three longs and one short, choose the short, three shorts and one long, choose the long; two longs and two shorts, choose B, uneven C and invincible".

Wilson said seriously: "I listen to you, coach."

"Start with defense. I know that UCLA doesn't need you to defend seriously, but here, you have to start with defense. I will let you start, but if you can't defend well, I will replace you. As for offense, I need you to find a balance in the game. When do you need to run without the ball and when do you need to attack with the ball?

"I will have high demands on you."

"Understood, coach."

After saying this, Louis let them continue training.

Wilson's obedience to Louie made things a lot smoother.

"Director Lu" Song Tao asked, "What do I do?"

Louis smiled and said, "You can do whatever your elder brother asks you to do."

"Good drop."

Poor English is an important reason that prevents Song Tao from exuding his personality charm. Louis saw Zhao Yuanzheng's attention to details, grasping murder and pressing the defense of the five-man lineup, and realized that maybe Song Tao should really find a full-time translator.

Zhao Yuanzheng now has multiple roles, and he has to inspect college players, defensive training, and pre-match planning before the start of each game.

He is the one with the most work and the most tiring in the coaching staff.

Since he never complained, Louis didn't notice, and now he suddenly found that he should give Zhao Yuanzheng a raise.

I don't think he was so tired when he was an assistant to Bill Fitch.

The next day, the Blue Palace training camp played another match.

This time, the veterans of the Knicks fought bravely, all of them seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and did not give the newcomers a chance.

N. UCLA's offense poured down like mercury, wave after wave.

Although McHale's singles is still unsolvable, Benj's offense is limited by the unimaginable defensive strength.

Tomjanovich asked Ewing to "lead the line" in the high position like Louie.

This is like liberating Ewing, his screens and pick-and-rolls are extremely perfect.

Even though Rodman had the ability to stalk Ellis to death, he couldn't help it when he encountered Ewing's cover.

Almost every time, Ewing was able to detain opponents like a patrolman.

Dale Ellis was thus freed.

The old team, which showed its true skills, won today by 14 points and avenged yesterday's death.

After this match, Louis announced that tomorrow he will play the last game of the new-old competition.

Starting from the fourth day, the lineups of the two sides were mixed, and Tomjanovich and Phil Jackson chose each other.

This is a bit like the BP in the League of Legends game, but there is no Ban player.
