the rest, only noise

Chapter 401 My orangutan is just growing up

There are many attractive qualities in Ben, among them, the fire-like emotion in the game is his most striking characteristic.

At the beginning of the game, his anger is not obvious, and as the game progresses, he will be the most animated person on the court.

However, today he faced an invincible opponent.

Starting from that three-pointer that raised blood pressure, Jordan has strengthened his attention on the defensive end, starting from defending the ball, blocking Benj's offense without any dead ends.

Even if he gets the ball, he will choose singles.

At the beginning, everyone enjoyed watching it. After a long time, they found that he could hardly score under Jordan's defense. The Knicks' N. UCLA system fell apart, and the Blazers established a 4-point lead within 10 minutes.

13 is better than 3
The unconventional lineup that Louie put up to test the strength of the Blazers' lineup was blown up.

The gap between Wilson and Jordan is the gap between this lineup and the Trail Blazers.

So he called a timeout in time and put an ice pack on Wilson's body: "Calm down!"

Louie chose to substitute.

Because Wilson was blown up by Jordan and McHale didn't start so well, Louis didn't insist on using the starter to beat the opponent's starter.

"Patrick's inside advantage is obvious, but we must first make achievements on the outside!"

Louie has always advocated using the outside offense to create space for the inside offense.

After the timeout ended, Louis walked up to Wilson and asked, "How does it feel to be blown up?"

"If I stay on the field, the result may not necessarily be the same"

"No matter how long you play, the result will not change. This is the gap between you and MJ. You should face up to the gap." Louis also pointed out several problems of Wilson, "I like to see you and MJ confront each other, but when you find that you are not the opponent, shouldn't you hand over the ball and respond in a smarter way?"

Wilson silently responded to Louis' question.

He thought confronting Jordan head-on was the smart response.

"Maybe you think you can fight against MJ on an equal footing, but I can tell you that you are still far away." Louis looked at the field, "Sometimes the boundary between an individual and a team can be blurred, and sometimes it can be very clear. The important thing is how you look at it. If you think that giving up one-on-one with MJ is a cowardly act, then you will never find the right direction."

Wilson has asked this sentence many times, and he may have to ask it again.

"What should I do?" Wilson asked.

"The answer is in the game, see for yourself."

After the Knicks change, the flanks are obviously weaker than the Blazers, but Ewing has a clear advantage in the paint.

Nance, who forcibly played the fifth position, was at a great disadvantage when facing Ewing.

Ewing aggressively screens and picks and rolls.

Stockton directed the offense, and the Knicks' offense began to recover.

Facing Dell Ellis, who was completely unable to play with the ball in Jordan, he used Ewing's screen to get rid of Jordan, and caught the ball at the top of the arc and shot a three-pointer.

6 is better than 13
This is the most common Exchange Ricky (high dynamic offense) in the Knicks' game. Ellis averaged 16 points per game relying on this tactic.

Next, Ewing's defense posed obvious problems for the Blazers.

Drexler has an absolute advantage against Corbin.

Corbin is a hard-working wing who is good on defense, but not so much against Drexler.

The glider's frontal breakthrough was blocked by Ewing's defense, and the ball was passed to McDaniel on the weak side.

Like McDaniel and Drexler, if the Blazers put up this lineup, which of the two of them will be at the fourth position depends on the on-the-spot matchup.

At this time, he is in the fourth position, rushing to the bottom line, using speed to get rid of Oakley, and wants to make a kickback.

Ewing reacted and sent out a big hat.

"I feel that guy will definitely be in the first defense this year!" Louis sighed.

It's too powerful, this restricted area controls the area.

In the past two years, Ewing has gained 13 pounds, and Louis deliberately controlled his weight gain, neither fast nor slow.His current physique can basically cope with NBA-level inside confrontation, and the habit of being stuck has also been cultivated after Louis constantly "reminds" him day and night during his rookie season. He can change his defensive position, and Louis will also say some bad habits.

Therefore, in only the second season, his defensive power has reached another level compared with his rookie self.

The Blazers' defense is very talented.

After all, their head coach Adelman is not a coach who likes to catch defense, but it just so happens that he has a team that will not be bad in defense no matter what, so they look like a strong defensive team.

Ellis' running caught the Blazers' attention.

Jordan is a very aggressive player when he is on defense.

Coupled with McDaniel and Drexler, the Blazers' defensive rotation can basically reach the league's first.

Ellis was able to use Ewing's screen to throw off Jordan, but McDaniel's defense was like a hyena biting the vital parts of its prey, which was really difficult to deal with.

So, Ewing enabled the Knicks newly introduced tactics: 2 High Rip.

This tactic originated from the University of Oregon, and it is called high tearing. In fact, it is to let the inside line cover the pick-and-roll first, and immediately go down to the low position if there is no opportunity.

When encountering a team with poor defensive discipline, there is a high probability that it will form a dislocation of big and small.

The Blazers are a team with poor defensive discipline.

When Ewing came to the low post, it was Drexler who came to guard him.

This tactic was originally set up for McHale. McHale can use it. If there is a matchup advantage, Ewing can naturally use it.Moreover, this tactic was originally set up to create a matchup advantage. It was only because McHale's low post one-on-one could score regardless of whether it was misplaced or not, so Louis introduced this tactic.

Ewing hit Drexler, and the scene was brutal. The gorilla pushed the glider away with just one blow on the back, and it exploded violently.

Slam dunk directly on top of Drexler's head.

8 is better than 13
Louie clapped his hands. Ewing, Stockton and Ellis were the iron triangle of the Knicks last season. There is nothing to say about the offensive tacit understanding. The newcomers Wilson and McHale must first find a way to integrate into them.

The Blazers' lineup advantage appeared in the next round.

Ewing scored in a misplaced position, and Drexler sent a long pass.

Porter in the frontcourt sent an empty pick to Jordan.

15 is better than 8
They counterattacked fiercely, and the Knicks played positional warfare step by step.

Ellis was taken care of by Jordan on the flank, called a screen and someone else switched defenses.An off-ball shooter like him who lacks defensive ability is not easy to play against the Blazers.Unless someone can use their own offensive threats to attract flanking attacks to create partial overplay, otherwise, it is really difficult to crush athletic ability.

This mission, tonight, will depend on the insider.

Louie blew the whistle and told Stockton to hit Ewing more.

Ewing and Oakley went up to the left and right horns of the free throw line, forming a double ghost slam position.

Ewing receives the ball and Oakley screens for Stockton.They made the Blazers think the ball was going for Stockton.

As a result, Stockton was followed and Oakley was missed.

After Oakley covered Stockton, he turned and went down, and this was the killer move of this tactic.

Another change in the Knicks' offensive end this season, the number of times the ball was dominated by the inside line increased. A high inside pass/Weave Horns Rip tore through the Blazers' defense. Oakley dunked successfully.

McDaniel is not a person who is afraid of getting into trouble. Everyone has not forgotten Liang Zi from the two sides last season. How can Oakley be presumptuous?

Oakley's provocation angered his opponent. However, this anger did not help the Blazers' on-the-spot performance.

Oakley's rebounding, Ewing's absolute advantage, Stockton's ball intelligence and Ellis' perimeter containment.

The Blazers' book talent is stronger than the Knicks, but they are suppressed instead.

The Knicks lineup is more harmonious, the defense is tough, the resources on the offensive end are allocated properly, Stockton's command tactics are like arm, and Ewing begins to dominate the ball.

Everyone is scoring, and the Blazers are left with Jordan and Drexler singles, and sometimes McDaniel will also play one, like a lottery.

In the long run, Nance playing the fifth position to suppress athletic talent is definitely a foolish move.

This kind of approach works well in the small ball era, but in the big ball era, let Nance play the center, and it is okay to meet ordinary players. Tonight, when he meets a star insider like Ewing, he is like Chris Bosh when he meets Hibbert.

At the end of the first quarter, 27 to 28.

The Trail Blazers, who led by 10 points in the opening game, now only beat the Knicks by 1 point.

In the second quarter, Louis took the initiative to adjust his lineup.

Stockton, Corbin, and Ewing came down to rest.

Hornacek, Rodman and McHale play.

The Blazers also made some adjustments.

Adelman put Jordan at the [-], Nance back at the [-], James Edwards at the [-], and Jerome Kersey SF replacing McDaniel.
