the rest, only noise

Chapter 409 Perfect Integration
Watching young players grow up step by step under their noses is a pleasant thing for body and mind.

Tonight's Benjamin Wilson and Rodman both played the demeanor of young players.

Wilson's few offenses since he came on the field were not jump shots after holding the ball, but Hamilton-style walks without the ball, briskly bypassing heavy screens, catching the ball, and shooting.

He hasn't adapted to the Knicks' N.UCLA system yet, but once he adapts and fits in like Dell Ellis, his size, his shooting ability, his ability to score against defenses, will be maximized.

Like Kevin Durant in the Warriors.

Louis hopes that Benj at his peak is as deadly as Durant off the ball, and as unstoppable as McGrady on the ball.

Most people who get Wilson will just give him the ball without thinking, just like taking hormones, eager for him to quickly grow into a ball-holding core.

Louis considers compatibility and comprehensiveness.

He wants Benj to be a pantheon-level versatile superstar like Durant.

Now his off-the-ball offense is a bit like Michael Porter, very immature, and some opportunities that are not opportunities rely entirely on talent to score. Once he learns to flexibly use pick-and-rolls and screens like tonight, it will be difficult for the Lakers to guard him.

If his shot isn't guarded, he'll just shoot it.

If you go to defend against his shots, he will be like Westbrook who is playing chicken blood, with long legs and a breakthrough at the start.His stride is too long, and he can go from the three-point line to the basket in just two steps, a dunk that floats like a kite.

Picture this: A guy who can run and shoot like Hamilton, has the height of Tracy McGrady, the legs of Michael Porter and the first step of Westbrook, how do you defend?
His innate structure gave him infinite possibilities.

Five minutes after the first quarter, Wilson played the core function of the offense, making 5 of 7 shots and scoring 5 points.

Pat Riley sighed: "New York is destined to rise."

Rodman's performance was not as dazzling as Wilson's.

Louis asked him to guard against the magician, but he didn't expect him to guard against him, and he really couldn't guard against him.

The magician who developed the three-pointer is already a dislocation machine with no dead ends after halftime.Rodman can't defend, but the real value of a great defender is always reflected in the defensive end.

In terms of single defense ability, the peak Howard may not be the best in the league, but his defense is enough to protect the group of teammates with poor defensive ability around him, making the Magic a top seven defensive team in the league.

That's what Rodman showed in his game.

Flexible, fast, with a wide range of activities, the speed of bullets is terrifying, and the choice of auxiliary defense and pincer attack is extremely sharp.

Rodman didn't take a shot after he came on the court, but grabbed 4 rebounds. At the same time, he had blocks and steals on the defensive end.

The Knicks' young storm has worked out solidly, catching the Lakers off guard.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers replaced Magician and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and kept three main players on the field with two high-quality substitutes, trying to drag through the transition period.

Louie suddenly waved his hand, replaced the four main players including Wilson, left Rodman, and then replaced the other four players who were pressing on the murderer.

Corbin, Stevens, Rodman, Oakley, John Saley.

"Come on, Little Lu has turned over a terrifying hole card!"

The second team of the Lakers is Dennis Johnson, Byron Scott, Wilkins, Rambis, Michael Cooper, Billy Thompson (Billy Thompson SF).

This lineup is definitely not weak, comparable to the starters of some weak teams.

Instead, they're confronted by Knicks' murderous press.

The murder press is not aimed at whether you are strong or weak, but whether your ball handler is strong or not.

Dazi Johnson transformed into a 3D position next to the Magician. He usually just dribbles the ball like a porter. In his early years in Seattle, he was born in the all-around [-]nd position.

As soon as the Knicks' murder loomed, the Lakers immediately fell into chaos.

With 2 minutes left in the first quarter, the first round of the Lakers' second team facing the Murder Press went as follows.

The ball was missed by Da Dazi and was caught by Cooper.

Cooper is a worse ball handler than Marcus, and he'll have to find a way to get the ball to Marzi or Scott.

The safest choice is to give the ball to Scott, but the Knicks' murder press is the tightest defense, and it is Scott.

The Lakers, who couldn't pass the ball to the right person, were charged with an eight-second violation.

This scene stunned Pat Riley.

The five guys on the Knicks' murder tight end, except for Oakley, are all high-energy, mad dog-like wings.

The three of Rodman, Sely and Stevens put together are enough to bring a devastating blow to the second team of all teams in the league.

Not to mention, Tyler Corbin is also a very high-level defender.

Oakley is the most aggressive power forward in rebounding in the league, plus the league's number one thug.

To Riley's chagrin, there are so many good players, except for Oakley.None of the draft picks are top [-] in the first round.

Salley is the No. [-] pick this year, Rodman is at the end of the first round, Stevens is a bonus in the Sonics trade, and Corbin is a waste product that the Spurs don't want and was used by Louis for the second time.
In the entire suffocating lineup, two were given away for free, one was bought by Taobao at the end of the first round, and only two were players who were ranked high.

Within 2 minutes, the Lakers did not fight any positional battle.

Instead, he scored 4 points with free throws.

The quality of the Lakers' usual training is guaranteed. The Knicks' murder pressure is so strong that they can still make free throws.

However, 4 free throws were scored, but the Knicks used the full-court press to put pressure until the end of the first quarter, scoring 8 points.

In the first quarter, the Knicks led the Lakers by 40 points 24 to 16.

"Gorgeous Show Time Lakers, burst like a bubble!"

In the second quarter, Louie replaced Oakley with Benjamin Wilson.

Because he found that this lineup lacks a ball-holding point and there is no stable scorer.Without Oakley, their rebounds aren't guaranteed, but Wilson's game is currently a good complement to the murderous tight end.

Moreover, beside these killers, he would not have any objection to what kind of Louis he became alone.

Let Wilson replace Oakley, so that the Knicks' murder-pressing Spider-Man has increased from three to four. Moreover, players like Wilson who like to play chicken blood often come with a BUFF to fight chicken blood for teammates.

Riley, who tried to get the second unit to last a few more minutes, gave up after 90 seconds.

Wilson steals the pass from the Lakers, throws it directly from beyond the three-point line, and hits it.

43 is better than 24
The 19-point gap forced the Lakers to call a timeout.

"You guys are so soft!" Riley was furious. "You are surrounded by a group of rookies who have just entered the league, and you are unable to move an inch under the defense of those rookies! Shame! You should be ashamed of yourself!"

Louis stared at the crazy "murderers" and asked, "If I ask you to keep pressing for 3 minutes, can you hold on?"

Wilson responded loudly: "Five minutes is fine!"

"Benj, you just came on the court and have no right to speak." Louie laughed. "From the last 2 minutes of the first quarter to the current few, who will give me a letter of approval?"

Stevens became the representative of the crowd and said: "We have no problem at all!"

"Okay!" Louie laughed, "I believe they will let Maggie back to the game next, so that they have two dangerous ball holders on the court. The plan is this, Alex, you prevent Maggie from receiving the ball. If he catches the ball, he will press if he can press. If he can't press, give me a decisive foul! As for Byron Scott, he has been playing for 8 minutes in a row, and his physical exertion is serious, so continue to put pressure on him, and foul him when necessary! Except for Benj, everyone else doesn't care. The number of your own fouls, just do it!"

The timeout was over. After listening to Louie's arrangement, Tomjanovich said with a smile: "Lu, are you using the Lakers as guinea pigs for experiments?"

"You can't blame me." Louie spread his hands, "If you want to blame them, they don't have a ball handler that scares me."

The Lakers, including Magic and Scott, didn't have a player who would scare Louie with the ball in the backcourt.

this is the key of the problem.

No matter how gorgeous Show Time is, facing the four spidermen in the murderous lineup, even a magician will have a headache.

Sure enough, the magician returned to the lineup, and the Lakers' full-court press against the Knicks was planned.

What they didn't expect was that the Knicks' current full-court press is much more stable than the impromptu one-shot deal last season.

Whether it is the personnel involved in the pressing, the routine of the audience pressing, or the tacit understanding and coordination among the players, they are much better than last season.

The biggest discovery, perhaps, is that Wilson actually played a leading role in Murder Press.

There are still many problems with his defense, but the full-court press is like a positional battle, a game of five people.

Only by helping each other can we exert our greatest power.

Wilson's passion and aggression fit perfectly into the rhythm of the other four.

Louie has another happy annoyance, can he put Wilson in the murder press?Can this kind of dirty work be done for the future offensive core?
But he looks fit and having fun
