the rest, only noise

Chapter 424 Even if it's the truth, you can't go around talking nonsense
Early Karl Malone was an offensively versatile power forward.

He can do anything because he is angry.

He should have been selected in the top five, but fell to the eighth.

Malone is eager to prove himself, and has made significant progress every year. The performance of last season made the Jazz determined to give up Dantley and restore him.

Now facing the Knicks' wing group, he also has a lot of offensive methods.

He can catch and shoot the ball, turn over by hitting, face the basket and dribble with the ball and make an emergency stop. He can do everything he can think of.

Louis noticed his extraordinaryness, so he took special care of him.

"Kevin, can you handle Carl?"

Louie asked loudly when the Knicks were attacking.

McHale stuck Malone, and replied: "Of course!"

After all, he changed positions, received the ball, and Malone let him go.

McHale has only one attitude towards those who shoot him, and he shoots decisively.

"Shh!"

Jazz announcer 'Hot Rod' Hundley therefore said: "Kevin McHale's jump shot is known as a perfect shot, and Carl's defense should take that into account and give him a little more respect."

"This defensive effect can make my mother do it."

Ma Long was even more dissatisfied with Louis' sarcastic remarks.

He ran upfield and said to Louie, "You should shut up, Coach Louie."

"No, no!" Louis became playful and deliberately stimulated Ma Long.

Louie galvanized Malone, who next hit McHale's defense with a signature right-side kick.

The ball went in at the sound.

12 is better than 18
The Jazz bite the score.

Hendry also sent a classic commentary that excited Jazz fans: "You must like this, baby!"

"Kevin, why don't you call back?" Louis continued to instigate.

McHale agreed again, "Yeah!"

Then, Stockton launched 2 High Rip. McHale's timing and ability to find mismatches are not comparable to Ewing. It was an accident to find Eaton before, but now they know that Eaton will never leave the penalty area, so naturally they will not hit him again.

McHale found Griffith's dislocation, opened the defense with his right hand, jumped hook with his left hand, and hit the board.

"It's just that loose!" Louie asked angrily, "Carl, how can you let Dr. Dunk defend you for you? He's a guard!"

Ma Long argued: "That's because you like to play cowardly pick-and-rolls!"

"No, we're a smart pick-and-roll, and we only deal with little idiots like you." Louis breathed out so fragrantly that the referee couldn't stand it anymore.

Jack Nies, who likes to maintain order on the court, came to warn Louis: "You can command from the sidelines, but you can't say too many unnecessary words."

"I totally agree with you." Louis dismissed the referee with a smile.

The Utah offense then played a stupid routine, allowing Eaton to catch the ball in the low post.But as soon as Eaton received the ball, he passed the ball outside.

This is a tactic that compresses space to allow teammates to get better offensive opportunities.

There's just one problem, no one cares about Eaton's post game.

The Jazz wasted seconds when Wilson suddenly ramped up his defense and knocked off Bob Hansen's ball.

Hansen backhanded a tactical foul, limiting Wilson's defensive counterattack.

Louie was about to say a few more words, but Nice stared at him the whole time.

Louis had to put on a very well-behaved look.

In the era when there were only two referees on the court, it was impossible for referees to spare time to care about the coaches. Louis has now completed an impossible task, allowing the referee to focus on him.

"You keep looking at me, you might miss the foul."

As the words were being said, the cooperation between McHale and Stockton made Malone hit the wall.

Malone couldn't imagine that there would be a tactic where the inside line would cover the inside line.

McHale made a 2 High Run. Although Eaton is inside, no matter how strong his basket protection is, it is not an impenetrable wall.

McHale used his long arms to screen the offense and switch hands to score.

"Foul! Foul!" Louie yelled.

Nice then turned his attention to the court.

"Look, Jack, because you kept looking at me, you missed a foul by the Jazz. You did it on purpose. You wanted them to make a legal foul, so you kept pretending to care about me."

Louie bites back.

Nice said angrily: "Lu, you'd better be honest!"

"Jesus Christ! I've been standing here and doing nothing, why are you guarding against me?" Louis spread his hands, "Can I do anything bad?"

It was the Jazz's turn to attack, and the referee ran to the backcourt.

Tomjanovich came over and asked, "Are you happy molesting the referee?"

"Molesting Karl Malone while molesting the referee is more fun, no, it's double the joy." Louie said contentedly.

"Would you like to focus on this game?"

"No need to focus." Louis said confidently, "All teams without strong wings, all teams that cannot attack inside, are not our opponents."

These two, the Jazz all hit.

They don't have Bird, Jordan, Wilkins, Worthy + Dantley, and Barkley's super wings that are strong enough to explode and radiate the audience.

There are no mobile insiders like Sampson, Olajuwon, and Moses Malone who can attack outside and affect the operation of the N.UCLA system.

Malone is a very pure power forward, and the real wing should be a forward guard who can swing in multiple positions.

A pure power forward cannot break the line indiscriminately.

What's more, although his skills are all-round, he can't kill people one-on-one.

Mark Price's three-pointer helped the Jazz regain a little bit of decline.

After returning, Jack Nice focused on the game.

McHale uses the third variation of the 2 High series, the 2 High Pick, which is a catch-and-shoot on the weak side.

This is very close to what Louie is familiar with, the pick-and-roll offense between Malone and Stockton who played the pick-and-roll.

In the Jazz in the 90s, every game was accompanied by many similar offenses.

Stockton passed the ball so well, he gave the ball to the best position every time, and the receiver didn't need to adjust, just got the ball.

Moreover, he knows the rhythm of his teammates very well, and he knows their sweet spots on the court very well, so he will have so many assists.

He is a natural baker.

And McHale is a talented offensive player. The chemical reaction between him and Stockton may not be as good as Stockton and Malone, but the effect is definitely far better than the combination of Malone and rookie Price.

Price can only pass the ball to Malone for singles, and the Jazz does not have a pick-and-roll system now.

Louie also wasn't sure what level Price would be in the pick-and-roll.

An assistant coach off the Jazz court carefully recorded everything that happened on the court.

He's fascinated by the Knicks' pick-and-roll system.

"Jerry, can't they solve this style of play?" The head coach Lydon said distressedly, "It happens every time, it seems very simple, but our players either can't react, or can't keep up, or keep up. They are out of position, my God, what kind of ghost style of play is this!"

"It's a UCLA offense," said Jazz assistant Jerry Sloan.

"No, UCLA's offense doesn't use the guard to launch pick-and-rolls with the ball. The closest UCLA offense in Bill Walton's time is not this way." Layden shook his head.

"Yes, it's a modified UCLA offense," Sloan replied. "They call it the N. UCLA offense."

Lyden asked, "Is there a way to limit it?"

"Their pick-and-roll coordination is too proficient and impeccable. John Stockton is very stable and makes almost no mistakes. Therefore, the only way to prevent this style of play is to let our players bravely switch defenses."

"Whether it's a big defense or a small defense, you have to try it. This is the only way, otherwise we will see them use this routine all night to create partial opportunities."

Layden glanced at Eaton, switching defenses infinitely?

"No, Eaton's speed can't meet the requirements."

Sloan's idea is to replace Eaton, but if Eaton is replaced, the Jazz's inside line will be frantically rubbed by the Knicks.

So, it's a dead end.

The Knicks' staffing is too luxurious, and they are targeting teams like the Lakers, Celtics, Pistons, and Trail Blazers.

Second-tier groups like the Jazz can only try to keep the bottom line.

The bottom line is the restricted area.

With Eaton, at least the restricted area is safe.

A set of 2 High offense, played high by McHale.

The most common 2 High Rip is not uncommon. McHale activated other tactics under the same system, that is, bullying Malone alone cannot defend the pick-and-roll, and even bullying the Jazz has no way to deal with it.

2 High Gan, the same high position tore through the defense, McHale went down to catch the ball, and after creating a second wave of chaos, the ball went out.

Benjamin Wilson caught the ball in the corner and made his second three-pointer of the night.

"Shh!"

"I'm tired of your cowardly tricks!" Marlon yelled, "If you have the ability to fight me one-on-one!"

McHale looked at him as if caring for the mentally retarded: "You can't even guard against it, why should we stop? You are not qualified to fight us one-on-one."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"Kevin, isn't your EQ too low?" Louis disliked McHale, but Malone was disgusted, "Even if it's the truth, you can't go around talking nonsense!"
