Chapter 519 He is really special...

Chapter 519 He is really special...

"Actually, this game has just begun."

During the timeout, Billy Cunningham remained on Detroit's side.

"Chuck Daly is a very professional head coach. His professionalism is not comparable to that of young people." No need to say more about who the young people Daly refers to.

Dick Stockton is still taking a wait-and-see attitude.

If Cunningham is right, he has nothing to lose. If Cunningham continues to be wrong, won't the effect of the show come?
Unlike Tom Heinsohn's brainless style of protecting the calf, Cunningham won the unanimous love of the audience because of his extremely professional basketball knowledge and friendly conversation performance, otherwise he would not be able to replace Heinsohn in a short time.

What would audiences think if they suddenly found out that their favorite "Super Billy" was a guy who could become as brainless as Heinsohn under certain circumstances?

The effect of the program is here!

Another of Daly's assistants, Ronald Rothstein, gave advice: "Although the Knicks' offense is strong, the outcome of this game has just begun. We should let the most confident players hold the ball."

"The most confident player?" Daly listened, and his eyes naturally moved to Adrian Dantley, "Adrian."

Hearing the coach's call, Dantley raised his head dully.

"I need your offense to break the ice, Adrian," Daly said.

Dantley said impatiently: "I have already said that no matter how good our tactics are, you will eventually hand the ball into my hands, because this is the most effective way."

Displeasure flashed across Daly's face. From the first day he coached the Pistons, he focused on making himself a perfect head coach. One thing is for sure, he has won the respect and love of most players. This is a great success for a coach.

Few coaches can coach players and be their friend at the same time.How do you coach players if they consider you a friend?The boundaries of authority will be blurred, and more and more people will cross the boundaries.

Daly made players respect themselves and listen to him.

However, Dantley was the only player he met who couldn't control and hated each other.

Dantley's tone displeased Daly, but there was nothing he could do now.

After all, the influence of the coach is limited, and it is the players who decide the game.

Interestingly, opposite Daly, Louie was also someone who tried to coach players and befriend them.

Louie did it with the Celtics.

Bird, Sampson, and Lambiel not only recognized his coaching, but also regarded him as a friend.

Coming to the Knicks, Louie failed to maintain this seemingly healthy relationship.Because the Celtics were brought in when he was a scout, or witnessed them joining the team.

Some of them are the same age as Louis, and some are a few years older than Louis.Louie was an assistant coach when they joined the team, and he was sidelined because of the sour relationship between Louie and Bill Fitch.Therefore, Louis has long been a person who is insignificant in the coaching staff but gets along well with the players.

It is with this layer of connection that Louis can establish that incredible relationship.

That relationship ended when Louie left Boston, and he wasn't able to do the same with the Knicks.

Bernard King hated him, Stockton respected him immensely, Dale Ellis saw Louie as a benefactor, and the rest of them...Ewing, Oakley, Wilson...only Ewing made some connections that reminded Louie of his time with the Celtics.

Because Ewing often made mistakes, he was caught by Louis every now and then.

So Ewing is not like Bird, he is a little afraid of Louie.

Only a few years later, Louis felt more and more that it was impossible to be friends with players and coach them, and to maintain them for a long time.

Especially in this day and age, it's impossible.

Twenty years ago, Auerbach's generation took advantage of the low level of professionalism in the league, and the era when players lived like dogs and didn't eat like pigs. He could build the team into a big family, and everyone was good friends. When the playoffs came, he used winning bonuses to mobilize their enthusiasm.

In this era where the per capita salary is at least 10 US dollars, it is impossible to use this trick again.

So Louis no longer pursues the complicated relationship of building friends/teachers and students.

If the players regard him as a friend, of course he is willing to accept it.If they don't like him and simply play for him, he's fine with that.

Louis looked at the movement on the side of the piston.

"Coach Daly's expression is as uncomfortable as eating shit." Zhao Yuanzheng predicted divinely, "I guess he made a disgusting decision."

Tomjanovich laughed: "What decision could be more disgusting than switching the main attack to Adrian Dantley?"

"Yes..." Louis laughed, "If we let Ewing play the main attack, it will definitely be twice as disgusting."

Ewing, who was sprayed while sitting, just wanted to stand up and reason with Louis, and he almost stood up.

Before standing up, he realized that he couldn't talk to Louis, so he pretended not to hear.

Kevin McHale took out the big bird with his hand in disgust, and said: "You can bear this. If it were me, I would definitely argue with the coach."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Ewing shouted in a low voice.

If the Pistons decide to make Dantley the main attack, the Knicks really can't think of any good way to limit this guy.

In a situation where most of the leading scorers are shooting low, Dantley's shooting rate is as unique as Isora Ao's peak.

The scoring leader on the wing with a shooting percentage of 56% is like Mr. Cang, who has a childlike appearance as a selling point. In the entire NBA history, the only scoring champions with a higher shooting percentage than him are Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the Bucks period and O'Neal in the first championship season, but these two are insiders.

It's normal for post players to shoot higher than wings or perimeter players, but they're both limited (1 percent vs. 2 percent).

Dantley is not a kaleidoscope, he can't shoot three-pointers, and his threat with the ball is higher than the league average but limited.

His strengths are the low post and special fake rhythm.

He's really a special kind of offensive player.

This was shown in the Pistons' first offense after the timeout ended.

The Knicks' pocket formation makes it difficult for Dantley to play his ghostly footwork in the low post, but he can still rely on shooting to the high post.

Louie pits Wilson against him.

However, he was not optimistic that Wilson could guard him.

Dantley received the ball, Wilson opened a certain distance, defended against the breakthrough, and half-released him to shoot-if Dantley wanted to shoot, he would definitely be interfered.

However, Dantley lifts the ball up for a shot?

No, don't forget to say that his fakes are really special, special, fucking special fakes.As long as you have seen it once, you will never forget it. It is comparable to those supporting characters with strange shapes in Zhou Xingchi's movies.

Dantley's fake action has two characteristics, slow enough to make Louis want to press fast forward, and fake enough to make Louis embarrass Wilson.Look at the child's expression. He is puzzled, confused, and struggling. He must be thinking, "Does this person think I'm a fool? This kind of fake action is also trying to deceive me?" It is this slow and fake action that makes Dantley's attack difficult to limit.

Dantley will do four or five fake shots in a row, but after each action, he will lift the ball higher and higher.

As long as he hesitated for a moment, he threw the ball.

It was in this situation that Wilson was recruited.

The most painful thing is not being tricked by this level of fake moves, but not knowing how to defend against him.The most subtle point of Dantley's fake action is that his shooting action is suspected to be a fake action at the moment before the shot.

too slow!
So fucking slow!Much slower tempo than Kyle Anderson, just outwitting Wilson and hitting a high post shot.

4 is better than 9
"I don't want to admit it, but this guy is indeed a genius born for offense." Louis sighed.

The Knicks' offense didn't stop there.

The Pistons allowed Dantley to attack, which can be regarded as playing the effect that this card should have.

But there is a price for the Pistons to do this. As good as Dantley's offense is, the defense is as bad as it is.

The defense was beaten by Dantley, and Wilson tried to find a way to regain face on the offensive end.

A few minutes later, the two sides scored a 9-8 offensive ratio.

The Knicks scored 1 more point, 18 to 12.

If it continues like this, the result will not change in any way.

The effect of reusing Dantley is remarkable, but the side effects are also great.

Daly didn't think about relying on Dantley to win, because the Pistons had a poor opening offensive performance.

Relying on Dantley, the Pistons survived the decline in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Daly had to find a way to survive the transition.

The transition period has always been a strong period for the Knicks, and their second team is as strong as the first team.

The second lineup led by Stockton, Miller, McHale, Oakley, and John Sely appeared.

"The Knicks are ... using three inside partners?" Dick Stockton exclaimed. "McHale is going to play small forward?"
