the rest, only noise

Chapter 473 This person's personality is slightly distorted

1987/11/6

The Knicks' first game of the new season is on the road, and their opponent is the Detroit Pistons.

The Pistons and the Knicks are the two newly promoted teams in the Eastern Conference. Their management team was built with the goal of defeating the Boston Celtics.

Louie and Chuck Daly are still friends.

Therefore, the relationship between the two teams is relatively friendly.

"Chuck, if I were you, I would try my best to get Dominique Wilkins during the offseason." Louis has already seen the problem of the Pistons.

From the lineup, this team looks mature enough, with good players in various positions, but no real superstars.

Daly smiled bitterly: "If I were the general manager, of course I would consider this matter."

That is to say, the general manager of the Pistons doesn't think Wilkins can bring about change?

Maybe, Wilkins doesn't have that much effect, but he is the only two players in the league who can restrain Bird in terms of style of play and attributes.

The Pistons lack nothing but a superstar.

If it is really impossible to get a superstar, a quasi-superstar like Wilkins should be given priority.However, their management seems to have other ideas.

Louis has seen this kind of thing a lot.

When there is no choice, shouldn't we try to improve the team's lineup as much as possible?

Louie returned to his team.

The first game of the new season, the starting lineup for Stockton, Miller, Wilson, McHale, Ewing.

Before Ellis returns, Louie wants to see how Miller's chemistry will work with the N.UCLA lineup.

The Pistons' lineup looks good: Dumars, Ilo, Dantley, Parish, Malone.

James Worthy actually came off the bench.

This can more or less prove some things, they are also seeking to change, but not through signings to change, but to change their starting lineup.

Opening, Stockton consciously helped Miller create opportunities.

Miller, a newborn calf who is not afraid of the famous Pistons player at all, sprayed at Yiluo: "Don't think that I am a rookie, you can handle me, to be honest, you are still a thousand miles away, I can catch the ball and kill you with just a few fucking steps..."

What happens in the end?He pissed off Yiluo, and was mercilessly defended to death by this defensive titan.

But at the same time, Benjamin Wilson took advantage of the defensive pressure Miller was putting on the Pistons to pick up the ball on the weak side and singled out Adrian Dantley.

It seems that he will score the first goal of the new season.

Wilson holds the ball, but suddenly gives a lob to McHale who cuts inside.

McHale catches the ball for a layup.

2 is better than 0
Wilson singled out Dantley to score is what Louie wants to see, but Wilson, who does not put the heads-up first and focuses on finding his teammates to pass the ball, is what Louie wants to see more.

"That's right, Benj!" Louie clapped his hands and shouted, "Get back on defense, they're coming."

The characteristic of the Pistons is that Dumars, a strong defensive combo guard, is paired with a number of outstanding frontcourt players.They are definitely a nightmare-level misplaced team. The disadvantage is that there are few ways to truly attack one-on-one, and they are highly dependent on the two guards in the backcourt.Malone and Parish can ensure the quality of the end after receiving the ball at a very deep position at the basket, and can also catch the ball and play alone when necessary.Therefore, when they face any team in the future, they need to use dislocation to establish an advantage.

The Pistons' first ball was completed through Dumars' personal ability.

Louie's initial impression of him was only during his years as a Pistons executive.It's a pity that Dumas is a management person who is at the peak of his debut. The Dumas that Louis saw already regarded Stucky as the cornerstone and Max Hill as the general manager of Big Ben II.

He hit the board with a horseback archery jumper.

2 is better than 2
Stockton commanded the team's offense in an orderly manner, and Wilson and Miller's tactical interweaving was extremely satisfying.

"If it was Dale, he'd be more aggressive with his runs, but Benj's movement would suffer," Tomjanovich said.

Zhao Yuanzheng nodded in approval and said: "The biggest difference between Dell and the other shooters is that he is not only familiar with his own tactics, but also understands every move inside. He is the player who understands tactics most thoroughly among all players except the general (Stockton)."

As soon as they finished speaking, on the court, Ewing gave Stockton a high pick-and-roll, and McHale screened for Miller on the weak side.Stockton dribbled outside the paint and made a sudden pass, Wilson caught the ball and moved again.

The basketball ended up being sent beyond the arc at the top of the arc.

Miller received the ball for a three-pointer.

5 is better than 2
"Knicks rookie Reggie Miller scored the first goal of his career. Many people like to compare Reggie with his legendary sister, but unfortunately, the great Cheryl is not like Reggie. After leaving the campus league, he has a bigger stage to show himself."

After many days of contact, Louis felt that Miller had a carefree personality and was very fond of his temper, but after a long time, he also discovered that there was a twisted side in his nature.

At a barbecue during preseason training camp, Miller proudly introduced his older sister, Cheryl Miller, whom almost everyone knew.Cheryl is the most dominant women's college basketball player of all time and the first woman to dunk a dunk in action. Her dominant performance at the 1984 Atlanta Olympics was featured in two consecutive Sports Illustrated issues.

There is no doubt about her strength, if there is a WNBA now, her dominance may be stronger than the future Maya Moore.

Louie thinks that Miller's distorted personality is because he, a typical machismo, laughs and tells everyone how Cheryl abused him.

To Louis, he is like the younger brother of Fujisuke in "The Prince of Tennis", who has been overshadowed by his talented brother/sister for a long time.Fuji Zhouzhu's younger brother joins other schools in a fit of rage just because everyone points at him when they are away from home, vowing to defeat his brother.Miller was different. He was numb from the abuse, as if his consciousness was blurred, his dignity was gone, and he didn't feel any guilt at all when he talked about his abused past.

Most superstars have the experience of being abused by their brothers and sisters with basketball, but when they tell this story, they will say "until I beat them" at the end, but Miller doesn't have it here.

His admiration for his sister makes people suspect that until now, he is not his sister's opponent.

A person with such a strong self-esteem admits that he is inferior to a woman, even if this woman is his sister.

Isn't this psychologically distorted?
So it's understandable for him to do anything on the court.

When he hit his first three-pointer, he yelled at Moses Malone, who was not defended: "Old guy, it's time for you to retire. The future league is the world of young people like me!"

"Don't talk to Moses like that!" Malone said disapprovingly.

Miller sneered and said, "You old bastard, you are not active in defense, but you are quite narcissistic. You actually call yourself in the third person. Are you fucking ashamed?"

Miller stepped back, but the lingering effects of his trash talk spread across the floor.

The Knicks and the Pistons have no grievances, but it is difficult not to make the other party angry with such a performance of disrespecting their predecessors and scoring a goal.

Not surprisingly, Miller's trash talk drew the ire of his opponents.

Yiluo moves, catches the ball, and flies to the basket.

Ewing's defense instantly enveloped him, aiming at the right moment to put on a peg board cap.

Malone grabbed the offensive rebound, and the second attack was interfered by Ewing who turned around and stood up.

As a result, Ma Long robbed again on the spot.

"Good guy!" Louis exclaimed, "Moses is still one of the most influential centers in the world."

With his dominance on rebounds, Malone scored a second offense.

4 is better than 5
Ewing defended well enough, but Louie couldn't watch him being slapped with consecutive offensive rebounds without doing anything.

"Patrick, you just stand and watch him grab rebounds? What is your height and wingspan used for, is it a display? Do you want me to find someone to help you rebound? Just you want to compete with Ralph for the league's first center? I think you have to wait another 20 years..."

The smell of gunpowder in the game continued to rise.

Miller's trash talk is definitely a turning point in the rhythm of the game.

Originally, Iloh and Dumars were both defensive gates, and Parish and Malone's defenses were also top-notch. Dantley, the only problematic player, would not defend him.

The fierce physical confrontation made the thin Miller at a loss.

Ewing catches and shoots in the high post.

Not in.

McHale called the offensive rebound and Wilson grabbed it.

Pistons fans are a little worried.

Because it was just right, the space opened up, and Wilson and Dantley were one-on-one.

Louie didn't give any plan. If it was Wilson in his rookie period, he would choose to single out.

What now?
He passed the ball back to Stockton.

His rookie season made him understand that in Louie's eyes, heads-up is the last resort, and you can't use the last resort when you have a lot of spare energy.

He runs again.

It is very interesting to observe Wilson's growth. As a rookie, he still had many bad habits left over from his college days. After being educated by Jordan and Bird in turn, he began to devote himself to practicing.

The loss to the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals was a key node. He found that Bird rarely played singles and always used running positions to tear the Knicks' defense.

If No.1 in the league/No.1 in history dominates the game in this way, why should he not follow suit?

Adversaries are the best teachers.

Louie saw Wilson's growth, and he finally saw himself as an off-ball attacker and became a part of the tactical system.

He ran out of chance, and on the weak side, Stockton made a pass and an open mid-range drive.

Swish!
The basketball game is that simple, follow the coach's intention to move, pass, shoot, nothing else.
