the rest, only noise

Chapter 410 Request a Song
Within 1 minute of the Magician's return to the game, the Knicks extended their advantage to 24 points.

Then, the Lakers began to send the ball to the magician.

As long as the magician can shake off the defense and advance in a straight line, he will be fouled.

Soon, the Knicks' foul count was full.

However, the Knicks' fouls and pressure did not affect the magician's free throw feel. Instead, they murdered the tight players because the defensive end used too much energy, and the offensive end could only rely on Wilson.

Three minutes later, the Knicks' advantage did not expand, but was reduced to 3 points by the Lakers.

Magic knows how to handle the Knicks' press.

Louie knew that the strong period of the murder press was over, so the next five ups and downs.

Stockton, Dell Curry, Ellis, McHale and Ewing, replaced five people on the field.

Wilson looked excited when he came off the field.

Perhaps, he is well suited as the leader of the murderous press?Once he can make a major breakthrough in his defensive skills, with his enthusiasm, desire, commitment and infectiousness that makes Jennifer Beals want to change a Knicks jersey to press the Lakers, how far can he raise the upper limit of the murder press?

"Benj, do you like the defense?" Louie asked.

Wilson's answer was surprising: "Not at all."

"Oh?" Louis didn't expect this answer, "But you seem to be enjoying it."

Wilson's next answer fully explained his style of play and temperament, "I just like the feeling of suffocating my opponent."

"If you really want to play that feeling, you have to work harder on the defensive end." Louis pointed out the problem, "Just now you became the breakthrough for the Lakers to break through the tight end."

Hearing this, Wilson responded, "I will, coach."

Someone discovered that the Knicks may restrain the Lakers in terms of style of play.

What the Lakers are not good at are all the Knicks' strengths.

The Lakers are not good at protecting rebounds, and the Knicks are the best team in the league to protect rebounds.

The Lakers have not been an excellent defensive team, and the Knicks' defense so far this season is the league's first.

The Lakers' offensive rebounding data is terrible, and the Knicks' offensive rebounding ranks second in the league, second only to the Detroit Pistons with an extremely strong frontcourt lineup.

The Lakers' Kareem Abdul-Jabbar can't find a few opponents in the West who can play him inside, like Olajuwon, Sampson, Moses Malone—especially Moses, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's number one sufferer—either the team is weak and cannot reach the Lakers, or they are in the East, and they can only go to the Finals if they meet.

The Knicks have an inside reserve that even Sampson of the Celtics would tremble three times when he saw it, let alone the 40-year-old Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

The biggest advantage of the Lakers is the peripheral firepower composed of Magician, Wilkins and Scott.

This used to be an advantage last season. This season, with Louis forming a murderous tight formation and joining Benjamin Wilson, the gap between the two sides has become very small. With the growth of the Knicks, it is only a matter of time before the situation reverses.

The gap in the coaching staff also exists.

The Lakers' Show Time, to put it bluntly, cannot be played without a rotation monster like a magician.

They rely heavily on Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for positional warfare.

In other words, the offensive and defensive strength of the Lakers depends entirely on the player's self-consciousness, and the tactics of positional warfare mainly rely on the personal ability of the stars.

It can be said that their tactical system is very sloppy.

The Knicks, on the other hand, play the most complex N.UCLA system in the league, and the routines of positional warfare emerge in endlessly. Each position and everyone has exclusive tactics and routines.

Stockton, who is in charge, has to memorize nearly 200 tactical routines alone.

Since Spot Webb couldn't remember so many tactics last season, Louis needed to gesture to him on the sidelines.

The Lakers and Knicks are extreme from beginning to end.

However, the extremes of the Knicks are inclusive and have a high fault tolerance rate.

If the Lakers have problems, they can only rely on Riley to call a timeout to fight chicken blood.

Therefore, in the second quarter, the Knicks switched back to the main lineup, and the Lakers let the Magic lead the team to chase points, but the result was not as the Lakers wanted.

The magician's dislocation ability is still strong, and no one in the Knicks can match it.

As long as he hits back, Louis will let him play as he pleases.

Louis' attitude towards the magician's firing is: I don't double-team, you can kill me if you have the ability.

Even if the magician's offense is stronger than the peak James, it is difficult to dominate opponents at the same level with personal offense.

The secret to the strength of this type of players is that they are superior to themselves, and they can also make their teammates stronger together.

James has the Royal Salute, and the magician has Show Time.

The Knicks don't pinch, even if the magician scores every goal, it won't affect the overall situation.

I saw him score 18 points in a single quarter, but after halftime, the Knicks still led the Lakers by 15 points.

69 is better than 54
The Lakers' offense is good, but the Knicks are too strong.

"Coach Lu, you played a completely different game tonight. What made you play so well?"

"Adversary." Luigi replied with high EQ, "The greatest thing about Magician and Larry is that they can make their teammates become as great as them, but tonight's Magician is even better. His high-level performance makes us have to improve our own level."

Pat Riley nursed Louie.

"Many people only know that New York has many outstanding young people, but they don't know that a considerable part of these young people are eliminated by other teams. They become excellent because the person who leads them is Little Lu." Riley, who is also a champion coach, said modestly, "I must learn from Little Lu. If I can push the players to their full potential like him, maybe we have already defeated the Celtics."

If Louis was a Lakers player, he would probably be scared to pee when he heard what Riley said.

Originally, the Lakers were known for their large amount of training. What did Riley say to force the players to their full potential? Doesn't that mean training people like animals?

The only way to survive is to apply for a trade before Riley goes mad.

It's a pity that none of the Lakers players realized the seriousness of the matter.

Louie walked back to the locker room and announced the starting lineup for the second half first.

"Jeff Hornacek, Ellis, Benj, Oak, Patrick." Louis came up with a special lineup, "You five will start in the second half."

Neither Stockton nor McHale had any objections, and the others listened carefully to Louis' arrangement.

"The Lakers are already very tired. In the second half, we need to speed up the offensive rhythm and pay attention to strengthening the scale of confrontation inside. If you have paid attention, you should have discovered that Dick Bavita's fool is very tolerant of the confrontation in the penalty area today." Louis said cruelly, "Since this is our home court, let's treat Kareem well!"

At the beginning of the second half, the Knicks' 2 High Rip tactic hit Ewing.

This time, 2 High Rip was more successful, and Ewing's receiving position was not the low post, but the basket.

At the basket, Abdul-Jabbar can only influence Ewing by his height and wingspan.

In the first attack, Ewing was careless and wanted to dunk the ball, but was blocked by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.Fortunately, the ball was blocked back to his hands.

"Hit him hard!" Louie yelled.

Next, Ewing stopped talking about martial arts with the old comrades. He smashed the ball to the ground, pushed his body back, pushed Kareem's body out of the basket, and then collected the ball and forcefully slammed the basket.

"You don't know how to play without being covered, right?" Louie laughed.

Ewing didn't say anything, he was used to it.

Louie scolded him every day, and he had tacitly interpreted Louie's scolding as a special encouragement to get better.

In fact, that was Louie's encouragement.

It's just that sometimes Louie would get dizzy with Ewing's anger and spit out some words that were terrible in retrospect.

Fortunately, Mr. Ewing has a lot of people, otherwise Louis' name would have been written on the monument.

The Lakers didn't make a mistake, nor are they in a position to make a mistake.

They were too far behind. Although they didn't make a mistake, the Knicks didn't give them a chance to overtake the score.

In the third quarter, the Magic found a lot of misplacements, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Ewing or Oakley did not fall behind in the matchup.

However, the Knicks' offense did not go wrong.

Wilson and Wilkins exploded each other, and Oakley and Ewing had a great rebounding advantage.

Hornacek, who was underestimated by the Lakers, punished his opponent with a deadly three-pointer.

At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks led by 18 points.

The Lakers basically had no hope of winning, and Riley replaced the Magician to rest.

Louie waved again, in a murderous press.

It turned out to be a game-ending evolution.

The murderous press, led by Wilson, Stevens, Rodman, Saley and Ewing, is more intense, continuous and suffocating than ever before.

Both Wilson and Ewing are the kind of villains who fit seamlessly into a murder press.

At this time, the Lakers, unable to replace the magician in an emergency, watched the Knicks widen the point difference to 26 points within a few minutes.

They were completely blown away by the Knicks' intensity, athleticism and Dick Bavita's unfathomable scale.

With 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Riley replaced Magician in what appeared to be a last-ditch effort.

In fact, just let him come up to collect some statistics, and then replace all the main players when the game is half a quarter away.

"Request a song~~!!"

"request a song!!!"

"request a song!!!!"

When the Lakers declared the game into garbage time, the Madison Garden fans cheered in unison.

Tonight, Manute Ball took a break, and Louis put Song Tao on the activation list.

Therefore, as long as Song Tao is on the roster during garbage time, Knicks fans will shout like this.

Moreover, the phrase "request a song" means to request a song, because Song Tao's SONG is spelled exactly the same as "歌" in English, so fans like to play tricks on his name.

Since the audience demanded, Louis' kindness could not be denied.

He called Song Tao up, patted him on the back and said, "Xiao Song, make a few more dunks to make everyone happy."

"Coach Lu's atmosphere is too hot, I'm afraid I won't be able to grasp it."

Louis didn't care about him so much, he immediately asked someone to foul and replace Song Tao.
