Chapter 537 This Is The Only Mister?

"This lineup...are the Knicks going to use their full-court press from the start?"

Tonight, Tom Heinsohn is the narrator of CBS Boston Television, so the main station of the national live broadcast, and Stockton's partner is only Billy Cunningham.

The Knicks lineup is bold and aggressive enough, and Cunningham wants to look objective: "This has always been the Knicks' advantage. Their full-court pressing intensity is very high. If the Celtics do not deal with it carefully, they may suffer a big loss."

Some viewers will think that he has changed his gender, and experienced viewers will wait until the Knicks are weak before listening to Cunningham's evaluation of the Knicks' coaching staff.

The game was different from the jump ball.

Sampson took off with all his strength, surpassed Ewing, and helped the Celtics win the ball.

As soon as the possession of the ball came to an end, the Knicks used an exaggerated tight defense to stall the Celtics' advance because Danny Ainge was in possession of the ball.

Auerbach in the stands scolded: "That little bastard is so daring!"

"Why did Louis insist on a full-court press when we targeted him?" Celtics general manager Jane Walker asked.

Volker is called the general manager, but everyone in the industry knows that he is Auerbach's puppet.

It's just a tool man responsible for speaking out in front of the stage and helping Auerbach operate.

Auerbach said indifferently: "Because he knows where our deathbed is."

Something went wrong in the first round.

Under normal circumstances, the person facing Angie should be Dale Ellis, but Louis specifically ordered Ellis and Hornacek to switch defenses.

Therefore, Hornacek defended in front of Angie, and Ellis only had to follow Thomas off the ball.

Including Louis himself, many people have the impression that Hornacek is the image of the head coach in another timeline, but Hornacek is famous in the Chinese fan circle not because of his superb coaching ability, but because of his daughter's beauty, so that for a while, anyone who saw Hornacek on the news had to call out his father-in-law.

That was the period when Chinese basketball fans had the highest taste. A few years later, this group of people was called the magician's father-in-law, which is really against the sky.

Louie initially just wanted Hornacek to be a combo guard who played around 22 minutes per game.

Now he finds that Hornacek has the potential to be an All-Star no matter if he is playing point guard or shooting guard.

Under the attributes of a combo guard, there is a style of play that fits the Knicks system very well, and a strong defense that is rare among white players.

Let him guard against Angie, not only to follow people, but also to make Angie suffer.

Angie never imagined that the Knicks' substitutes dared to bully him. He was used to doing bad things and couldn't tolerate being bullied at home.

"QNMD!!"

Angie elbowed Hornacek.

The referee blew his whistle and called Ainge an uncontested foul.

"Danny, it's been a few years, and you still only hit people when you're anxious to get angry. You really haven't improved at all." Louis shook his head regretfully.

The referee who whistled was booed by the fans, but he didn't care.

The referee doesn't care.

Louie clapped his hands. He had never liked Dick Bavita so much.

As the referee with the most bad reviews in the circle, he has no other shortcomings except his poor professional ability, lack of control of the field, whistles as he pleases, and likes to create super black whistle specials....

There are so many problems with his old man, but there is no problem in calling Anji's foul just now.

Angie glared at Louis angrily.

Having played under Louis, he knows that the former likes to attack the heart, just like Bill Lambiel.

However, he did not refute Louis, and the game continued.

In order to limit the Knicks' opening press, the Celtics deliberately changed the starting lineup, and the first round did not work.

In the positional battle of the Knicks, Hornacek has one thing that Stockton can't match, and that is the desire to attack with the ball.

All guards who play combo guards are essentially players with strong offensive desires.

Hornacek called a pick-and-roll, and the Celtics gave him space. He was unambiguous, and he shot when he pulled it up.

"boom!"

Missed, but at the basket, Ewing stuck Sampson.

Bird is in the card position with Oakley, and Bird has no advantage.The back injury made Bird be cautious when exerting force, and it was impossible to push Oakley away with this strength alone.

Oakley yelped and grabbed the offensive rebound from Bird.

With a breath, Ellis in the bottom corner used Oakley's body as a cover and ran out of the top of the arc.

Oakley had played with him for a few years and knew his habits.

The ball goes from the inside out.

"Dale Ellis' [-]-pointer!"

"Ralph Sampson is out!"

Sampson's help defense made people sweat for Ellis. Louie looked at the high-flying shot, the arc, the spin... It was like someone was licking his eyes, it was so comfortable.

"How could this kind of ball be lost?"

"Shh!"

The Silent Assassin clenched his fists and gave Sampson a cold look.

He may be the only Knicks player who dared to disdain Sampson so much.

Sampson saw him return to defense, and Angie ran over and said, "My fault, he won't let him get a chance so easily in the next round!"

Sampson agreed with Angie on the surface, but in his heart, he knew that Angie couldn't guard against Ellis.

Since 1986, when the Celtics lost to the Knicks for the first time in the regular season, Ellis has established his status in the arena.

Like an emotionless killer.

His transformation in New York has been one of the most surprising things of the past few years.

Coach Lu, what magic did you cast on him?

The Celtics' push was difficult, and the Knicks' full-court press wasn't a murder press, it was more of a normal regular press.

There are always two people in the frontcourt forcing Thomas to pass the ball, and the two are waiting for the second wave from beyond the three-point line.

Ewing stands outside the paint area and is ready to fill in at any time.

The Celtics know how to break out of this regular press. Ever since the Knicks successfully used a full-court press on them, there have been many followers in the league. Even the Lakers tried it in the Finals.

However, no other team can play the Knicks' tight effect.

Now that the Knicks don't use their gatekeeping skills, but instead use the usual frontcourt press, the Celtics' brothers think they have an obligation to teach this young competitor a lesson.

Thomas receives the ball, gets double-teamed, and passes to Ainge.

Ellis made a replacement, and Angie gave the ball to Bird, who responded in the midfield.

At this point, the full-court press should be considered broken.

Suddenly, Ellis gave up on Angie, and together with Oakley, he pinched Bird with all his strength.

They fought hard in midfield and Oakley is not a player who likes to play tricks, but that is not something to be happy about.

Worse than the black hand is his rude confrontation.

Nobody likes to get in contact with Oakley any more than anyone likes to wrestle with Moses Malone around the rim.

They have the personality of butchers, cruel and bloodthirsty.

Ellis was only responsible for covering Bird's side. In a few seconds, Angie just passed halftime, and Bird was knocked down by Oakley without even passing the ball.

Associate referee Jake O'Donnell blew his whistle.

"Jack, I think this penalty is open to question." Louie said dissatisfiedly, "Oke did not violate the rules."

Bird, who was sitting on the ground, taunted: "Why, does it count as a foul until he smashes my back?"

"Do you dare to say that you didn't have the part to act just now?"

Without waiting for Bird to speak back, the fans at the garden scene gathered boos from the audience and attacked Louis.

Heinsohn said: "Boston has always had the best basketball fans in the world. Louie wants to put pressure on the referees here, and there is no door!"

In fact, Heinsohn is also the commentator most against the Knicks using the full-court press to pressure other teams.

He always believes that the reason why the Knicks' full-court press can kill people is that the referee has relaxed the scale.

And this is an argument that Louie absolutely disagrees with.

The Celtics were about to serve a sideline kick, and Louis saw their positions and gestured to Wilson.

Wilson saw Louis' gesture, and then lowered his focus.

"The Celtics have a total of 19 sideline ball tactics. The other 6 are left over from coach Lu's time. When playing against us, they will never use those six tactics. In other words, this is a 13-choice question."

Zhao Yuanzheng told the situation of the Celtics in detail.

"Don't think about it, it must be the 'Eagle Eye Tactic'." Louis said firmly, "Look at Ralph's position."

The Hawkeye tactic is also the only sideline tactic for the Celtics to initiate offense by catching the ball inside, and it is also the safest sideline tactic in Louie's eyes.

In 2019, Team Leader Li teamed up with Mr. Zhou to leave a difficult problem for basketball coaches all over the world - the sideline ball - and the biggest failure was to let Mr. Zhou serve.

This is also something Louis can't figure out until today. He has watched almost all of Zhou Qi's games.Every time he throws a sideline ball, Zhou Qi's coach will let Zhou Qi come to catch the ball, because he can use his size and wingspan to push people up while opening his hands to ask for the ball.

Wait for him to receive the ball, then let him pass the ball to the ball holder.

However, Captain Li almost made a mistake in Zhou Qi's first pass. If it wasn't for the referee's patriotic whistle, he would have let him pass the second ball...

Sure enough, Sampson just ran out and stretched out his long arms, and the Celtics could easily serve the ball.

In an instant, Sampson's teammates scattered around.

"what?"

"Are they going to have Ralph one-on-one with the ball from beyond the arc?"

Just as the Celtics opened up, Wilson dropped Harper and appeared on Sampson's right wing.

Ewing stepped forward to apply pressure.

No matter what kind of weird mutant Sampson is, the [-] meter center forward must have a high center of gravity when holding the ball. This is an unchangeable objective law for him.

Once the Knicks pinch is in place...

"Ralph made a mistake!"

Wilson steals the ball and accelerates to a sprint.

Sampson's pursuit just added a striking background to Wilson's fast break.

Wilson dunked and scored, allowing the Celtics to request a timeout.

McHale threw the towel to the floor and shouted, "This is Mr. One?"
