the rest, only noise

Chapter 416 Chasing them and spanking

With Stockton back on the court, the Knicks' offense was much more normal.

When Hornacek controls the field, although he also plays tactics, his control of rhythm is far inferior to Stockton.

Stockton came up and played Exchange Ricky (high dynamic offense) around Dell Ellis.It's the Knicks' most creative play, centered around the high post, with 22 plays and six extended play sets.

Wilson had played this tactic just now, but he was not as familiar with it as Ellis, and Hornacek's command of this tactic was much worse than Stockton's.

Now that the tactics are back again, it feels completely different.

Ellis has a chance on the right wing, catches the ball, and makes a three-pointer.

8 is better than 12
All of a sudden, the Knicks' offense felt alive.

It's just that the Celtics' offense is just as helpless.

Isiah Thomas, who was emptied, pulled up a three-pointer. He would shoot one or two shots like this every game. If he scored, it would be a deterrent. If he didn't score, he would not shoot and there was no loss.

Unfortunately, he made the shot.

For the Knicks who want to guard him, being scored this goal has a great impact.

15 is better than 8
"It's okay, keep letting him go, can't he score consecutively?" McHale said optimistically, waving his hand, "Give me a pass!"

Without tactics, McHale went straight to the low post and faced Sampson.

It was a moment that took the breath away of his teammates and coaching staff.

McHale vs. Sampson.

Ewing is the Knicks' most comprehensive insider on both offense and defense, and McHale is the Knicks' most offensive insider.

Louie believed that no inside man could defend against McHale's one-on-one.

He is a top ten player in the league.

But Sampson has had the ability to make all insiders weaker than him since two years ago.

Louis' worry only lasted for a moment.

Stockton passed the ball, and the moment McHale caught it, he put pressure on Sampson with his elbow, turned, leaned back, and turned up the arc.

Sampson has tried his best to block the shot, but the basketball still leaps over his Five Fingers.

"Shh!"

"No way? No way?" McHale asked complacently. "The number one center in the league won't really be blown away by me, right?"

Lu Yi smiled at the sight, "You can say less nonsense and show more, okay?"

"Okay, Coach Lu!"

McHale beat Sampson on the offensive end, but it was Song Tao who responded to his anger on the defensive end.

The Knicks firmly guarded the penalty area, released Thomas a three-pointer, and gave him a chance to shoot from a long distance.

Thomas didn't continue the previous three-pointer. He saw that Sampson was touched by McHale, so he passed the ball to him.

Sampson read that the Knicks' defense focused on the interior, so he made decisive mid-range shots.

"Shh!"

17 is better than 8
With almost five minutes to go, the Celtics are shooting .5 percent.

Louis didn't know when this non-lost attack would end. He just wanted to know whether McHale and Sampson could explode each other.

Sampson's defense is more aggressive than before, and he simply doesn't want to give McHale the chance to connect the ball.

He does have a temper and wants to crush his opponent to death.

He doesn't have Bird's mentality of slaughtering his opponents, but if the opponent provokes him, he will go too far than Bird and the others.

Sampson was the kind of psychotic avenger who would choke his opponent to death in a cesspit if provoked.

His position is impeccable, and his strength crushes McHale.

McHale should give up, and Stockton also advocates playing tactics.

But McHale behind Sampson insisted on raising his hand to ask for the ball. The Celtics don't have many insiders. If the quality of the pass is good enough, they can completely send the ball to him.

Suddenly, McHale, who had been insisting on asking for a position on the right side of the paint, turned around and raised his hand and walked towards the middle.

Sampson, who got rid of the confrontation, wanted to stick again, but Stockton was an organizer who could not miss the opportunity.

His lob caught the moment.

McHale received the ball, and Sampson, who circled the front defense, lost his defensive position and watched the former score.

10 is better than 17
"Why don't you guard against me, Ralph?" McHale continued to promote the intersex man's bad ass style, "You're welcome, I will be embarrassed if you let me score like this."

Too cheap!How can he be so cheap?
"It makes my fist hard!" Louis laughed angrily.

Tomjanovich sees the other side: "If Kevin can match Ralph on the offensive end, then we can start targeting Boston's weak points."

"Not bad." Louis was finally sure that McHale would not be at a disadvantage if he could compete with any insider in the league.

Song Tao, who played against Sampson, was actually very nervous.

Louis said that Sampson is the number one center forward on earth, which is equivalent to saying that the opponent is the strongest center forward in the world.

This made Song Tao not know how to defend.

He was sure that he couldn't defend against Sampson, so he regarded himself as an exchange of limited value.

Sampson saw that there might be an opportunity in the penalty area and wanted to hit the ball in.

Song Tao's rude defense, as if he was about to fight him, blocked the foul savagely and stopped his advance.

The foul was undervalued when it came out.

After that, Sampson's 100% shooting rate was broken.

His shot was solid and McHale grabbed the rebound.

With the first pass, Stockton received the second pass, and the fast-down Wilson made a dunk.

12 is better than 17
After a few possessions, the outside touch that Thomas had previously shot disappeared without a trace, and his second attempt ended in failure.

Harper wanted to grab an offensive rebound, but his opponent, Wilson, was one step ahead, grabbed the rebound and gave it to Stockton.

Stockton dribbled the ball, stopped in the frontcourt, and gave an appropriate short-range pass to Ellis who caught up.

Ellis catches the ball from outside the three-point line and jumps up, chasing for a three-pointer.

15 is better than 17
The Knicks' offensive climax stopped the Celtics.

Dick Stockton asked Heinsohn: "Tommy, what do you think of the Knicks' offense these days?"

"It's surprising." Heinsohn didn't expect the Knicks to be so good at seizing opportunities. "The Celtics didn't make a mistake. They just missed a shot. Then, the Knicks counterattacked. Kevin McHale's performance was amazing, and the activeness of Benj and Dale Ellis was the reason for the Knicks' offensive. John Stockton activated these two."

Back off the field, Louis said to Song Tao: "Xiao Song, continue with your style of play just now, push him with all your strength, and foul him if you can't defend yourself!"

Louie then delivered the core concept for the night.

"I like Dell's three-point chase just now! This is what we have to do!" Louie emphasized, "Boston is not good at dealing with blitz. Their starting lineup has two short guys, two guys with poor athletic ability, and a two-position three.

This is not just about playing fast.

It's Show Time for the Lakers.

The core of Show Time is fast break, common fast break is divided into steal fast break and rotation fast break after successful defense.The Lakers' Show Time developed a new concept, position fast break.The opponent was clearly in position, and the magician used the dislocation advantage brought by his body size and wide field of vision to complete the positional battle within a few seconds.

Forcibly upgrade positional warfare to fast break.

Louie's arrangement is a little more advanced than that, focusing on surprise and haste.

Without Bird, the Celtics are largely incomplete.

Thomas is not good at long-range shooting, and Sampson is impossible to dribble the ball on the inside.

Whether other people can help is very important.

At present, more than half a quarter has passed, and the Celtics' scores all come from Sampson and Thomas. From an overall point of view, this is not good news.

It would be fine if the two of them could establish an advantage at the beginning, but now that the Knicks have caught up to the score, if the two of them are allowed to continue playing, will they still be able to play in the next three quarters?

The Celtics can't just win a quarter.

Therefore, it is inevitable to divide the ball rights.

Harper, who stands in the third position, does not have the confidence to score points under Wilson's defense.

He diverted the ball to the bottom corner.

Angie was much more courageous. He waved his gun and pulled it out after transporting it.

Not in.

Sampson grabbed the offensive rebound and made a pass outside.

Thomas holds the ball and breaks Angie, who then pulls out.

This time it was a two-step mid-range shot from inside the three-point line and scored.

19 is better than 15
"Strike!" Sampson encouraged his teammates.

McHale picked up the ball on the ground and quickly sent the ball out.

This time, it was so fast that the Celtics couldn't think of it.

Nix's counterattack seemed to be rushing to reincarnate.

Of course, fast break is a game style that everyone wants to play, but it is restricted by many conditions.In addition to its own propulsion ability and the ability to open the space between the two wings, the number of potential fast break opportunities is also very important.

These are exactly what the Knicks currently have.

Stockton holds the ball, and Wilson and Ellis are positioned outside the three-point line on the left and right wings.

Who got the chance?

Unexpected - Song Tao!
"SONG~~~~!!!"

Marv Albert yelled, Song Tao received a pass from Stockton, and scored a dunk to kill the Celtics.
