the rest, only noise

Chapter 627 Difficult Jazz Dance
Frank Layden, who left the head coach and retired as an assistant coach, was suspected of having a shady and evil deal with Sloan.

But Lydon has no aversion to the teaching assistant position.

At this time, the Jazz was in trouble, and Sloan asked him for advice. Layden also gave professional advice: "If the Knicks don't plan to replace Brad Rohaus, we can let Carl concentrate on attacking this point."

Sloan asked, "So, ditch the pick-and-roll?"

"No, it's not giving up." Layden laughed, "It's letting go temporarily."

The difference between giving up and letting go temporarily does not need to be said by Leidendo.

After Sloan thought about it, he adjusted the Jazz's style of play.

According to what Lyden said, Karl Malone is given enough low-post authority to let him attack in the low post as he pleases.

Ma Long was overjoyed, but the good times didn't last long.

Louis let Rohaus start, not just to make a living, but also to value his shooting ability.

In the Knicks team, this is the only insider who can stably hit three-pointers. For the others, although Louis said every day that whoever can make a three-pointer will increase his playing time, there are very few responders.

Ewing, a group of big bosses who have been trained by traditional insiders, can't accept the fact that insiders frequently get three-pointers from outside.

Even if Ewing has mastered the ability to step on the three-point line and shoot the ultimate two-pointer, he doesn't want to expand the shooting range beyond the three-point line.

In Louis' eyes, this is a disease that can be cured.

Of course, the Knicks still can't force the inside to shoot three-pointers, so the problem of not practicing three-pointers will not make Louis angry for the time being.

The Jazz let Malone play low, which Louis had thought of for a long time.

For teams trying to bet their offense on the low post, pocket formations are a lingering nightmare.

Malone took advantage of his unsolvable physical advantage to hit Rohaus twice in a row, including a 2+1.

That 2+1 caused Rohaus to end.

The player who replaced Rohaus is not sure if he can say "There are 365 days in a year, 24 hours in a day, 60 minutes in an hour, and 1 seconds in a minute. I can handle Karl Malone anytime, anywhere." Rodman.

Rodman's words are the classic clamor of those who were bombed.

In the two rounds of the finals between the Bulls and the Jazz, Malone's statistics were very strong, but the fans had a bad impression of pulling his hips at critical moments.

Taking Rodman's defensive effect alone is not good.

Now, Louis uses the young, normal version of Rodman to guard against Malone, who is far from his peak and has an obvious youthful temperament.

The normal version of Rodman is the strongest Rodman.

Being normal doesn't mean he's a good guy on the court.The Rodman who makes people feel abnormal is the Rodman who changes his hairstyle every week, gets together with Madonna, wears women's clothing to attend his autobiography signing, and threatens to marry himself... Rodman.

On the court, no matter what period Rodman was, he was not a good stubble.

The duel between him and Ma Long pushed the confrontation intensity of this game to a climax.

Louis just watched the two of them fight each other and felt that the game was too thrilling and exciting.

In order to test Rodman's single defense strength, Louis deliberately did not let the pockets be put away.

This made Malone's coaches very anxious. They thought that the Knicks' pocket formation would shrink as Malone increased the low-post offense a lot.

The plan couldn't keep up with the changes. They didn't expect Louis to let Rodman, the third position, top the fourth position.

Rodman plays the fourth position, what he lacks is confrontation and core strength. As long as Malone exerts his strength, he will basically fly.But he has a strong fighting spirit and has a historical level of continuous jumping ability.

This caused Malone to be often affected even if he pushed him away.

There is another point that is not good for Malone's offense.

Dick Bavita can see his elbow swings, but can't see Rodman's countless small movements.

A player like Rodman, who has a size gap between Malone and Malone, fought head-to-head with Malone for three or four minutes without fouling a single time.Instead, Malone was called for a foul because he accidentally placed his elbow in the wrong position when he was attacking.

"Rudy, you may think I'm crazy," said Louie incredulously, "but you can trust Dick Bavetta for a while!"

Tomjanovich looked suspiciously: "I even suspect that he took a bribe from you."

"Believe me, if he was willing to accept bribes, he would have been reported long ago." Louis said profoundly.

In the league, 100 out of 99 people hate Baveta.

One stop on Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's retirement tour was, "Glad I just have to put up with Dick for another six months."

Apart from Bavetta, no other warrior named Dick would feel that they deserved to be ridiculed by Abdul-Jabbar in that situation.

Bavita's inexplicable support for New York, Ewing's big delay effect exceeded expectations, Rodman's tough Malone did not fall behind... Various reasons combined to allow the Knicks to take a 29-20 lead at the end of the first quarter.

"It's a sad game for those who support Utah."

"Because you can't see their winning point."

"The UCLA offense they are best at suddenly can't open, and Patrick Ewing's high-post assault caused them more trouble than expected."

In the second quarter, Louis habitually replaced McHale as the core of the transition, with Hornacek, Angie, Rodman, and Oakley.

However, the Jazz do not have the depth of the Knicks, so, like other strong teams that meet the Knicks, they will choose to shorten their rotation.

Therefore, Alvin Robertson, who was only responsible for defense for most of the first quarter, together with Chambers and Eaton, supported the Jazz's transition.

These are also the few minutes that best reflect Robertson's ability.

For the Knicks' high-post dynamic offense, the Jazz found the answer.

Change defense.

Selective switching is the only answer.

Eaton has to sit in the penalty area, Rodman can go short, and McHale has no three-point threat. After figuring this out, it's easy to switch defenses.

In the second team of the Knicks, the only people the Jazz need to stick to are Hornacek and Angie.

Robertson's defense let Louie see the most embarrassed Hornacek.

In the NBA arena, it is rare to see a defensive player chasing the ball holder like a pig, and the ball holder has nothing to do with the defender, fear appears on his face, and all he can see between his brows is trembling in his heart.

That's what Hornacek looked like facing Robertson.

He dared not challenge Robertson at all.

If Hornacek was a softie, Louie had nothing to say.

But he is not.

Hornacek is a very tough player. He is afraid of Robertson, not out of fear of strength, but fear of the opponent's defensive ability.

He genuinely believes his dribbling is unsafe in front of Robertson.

What made him think this way?

When playing the Trail Blazers and Celtics, Hornacek can even take over Stockton's possession and play the [-]st position for a long time.

But against the Jazz, from his first round against Robertson, from the moment his eyes met Robertson's, Louie knew he couldn't rely on Hornacek against the Jazz.

Robertson's amazing defense doesn't stop there.

He murdered Hornacek with a single defense, assisted in sticking to Angie, switched defenses to get the Knicks' high-post dynamic offense, and brought a game rhythm different from Mark Price.

Under his rhythm, the Jazz played the UCLA offense.

McHale and Oakley's high-post delay defense can be called amateur, without Ewing's power at all, which is why the Jazz's system has been reactivated.

"Is there something wrong with the Spurs' management?" Louie said inexplicably, "Aren't they trying to stay competitive? Such a strong player was given to Utah?"

Tomjanovich praised: "Not to mention, Erwin has the shadow of Walter Fraser."

"No, he's more like an upgraded version of Dennis Johnson...but it's not fucking important." Louie said angrily, "Honey is scared out of his wits! I really don't understand, what's there to be afraid of?"

Tomjanovich expressed understanding to Hornacek.

"Lu, do you think Honey is a softie?"

"of course not."

"Yeah, he's not a jerk," Tomjanovich said. "He just looks like a jerk when Irwin guards him."

Louie asked, "What's the difference?"

"The difference is that 99% of defenders look like soft guys in front of Irwin." Tomjanovich himself is a player, and he knows that there are some "spiritual assassins" on the court.

Robertson is certainly one such defender.

"Is his defense really that strong?"

Louie knew that Robertson was very strong defensively. He was the strongest defensive back after Moncrief, no matter in terms of statistics or on-the-spot effects.

But Louis never expected that Alvin Robertson, whom he saw in his eyes, would be underestimated by him.

Because he didn't have a clear concept of Robertson before and after the time travel.

Just like Jordan, when you mention him, his image will automatically flash in your mind-GOAT!trapeze!Hannibal-like killer.

The same goes for other players, like Kobe Bryant -- paranoid, Mamba, too ego to fit into the team.

Curry-Three-pointer, shaking his head and needing a beating, he will never get the FMVP.

Durant——Internet roamer, tough-talking comparable to Da Sima, glass-hearted, scoring machine.

James——Peak group No.1 (disgusting), all-round data monopoly (surprise), sober on and off the court (admiration), not just a basketball player (worship, long live).

You see, most modern players and well-known ancient players, Louis has a template in his heart, but for Robertson, he has no template.

So he had to use someone he was familiar with, but it was still not enough. He had never played against Robertson himself, and no sports reporter would write an article specifically for him about how he liked to torture opponents with defense. Therefore, Louie's understanding of him can only stay on the surface.

So he couldn't understand why a tough guy like Hornacek would turn into a soft-legged shrimp in front of him.

Louis understood Tomjanovich's words, he was not a paranoid and assertive person.In this matter, Tomjanovich is more professional than him, and he has no reason not to believe in this famous player who has played on the court for ten years.

Robertson's outburst allowed the Jazz to tie the score.

Louis can only go to the technical desk to request a timeout.

This Jazz team is really not that easy to deal with.
