the rest, only noise

Chapter 643 Reluctant Victory
Detroiters hated Louie, hated his Knicks, hated him drinking Coke before every win.

Why couldn't the guy roll round with his victory?
He couldn't because he still had to do a live interview with CBS.

"Coach Lu, is this a difficult game?"

"From the point of view of the score, it's not." Louis glanced at the scorer, 118 to 102. "But it was really tough tonight."

The reporter in front of CBS asked: "Which aspects are mainly reflected in?"

"It's mostly the fans, they put a lot of pressure on us," Louie laughed. "I know every team that comes to Auburn Hills feels that way, so just get used to it."

The people of Detroit don't want to hear Luiguo say that since they can't stay to make things difficult for the Knicks (it doesn't make much sense), they should leave as soon as possible.

In this game, Wilson, who had played super giants in a row before, was still so stable that it made the Pistons sick.

Tonight, he didn't score much, only 30 points.It was the lowest level since the start of the Eastern Conference Finals, but sent 12 assists.

During the entire Eastern Conference Finals, the most impressive thing about Wilson was his instigation.

Under the influence of Detroit's defensive strategy, Stockton can't organize the team according to the rhythm he is used to.

Therefore, in most cases, the Knicks need Wilson's stable performance to drive others.

As a result, he did it. He averaged double figures in assists per game in the series. He is not only the team's scoring leader, but also the assist leader.

Chuck Daly sighed: "New York not only has a good team, but also a good coach. If your opponent makes no mistakes at all, it means that the possibility of the weak defeating the strong is zero."

At the moment when they are behind 0 to 3, the only remaining motivation for the Pistons to win is to let the Knicks lose in the playoffs.

Ten-year-old football fans should understand what a battle of honor is.

But in the face of this kind of game that is about honor, the players may not be able to go all out for honor, either there is internal strife, or lack of confidence, or loses.

The Pistons belong to the third reason. They were beaten by the Knicks and didn't know how to win.

In the West, after three games, the Lakers lead the Jazz 2-1.

The tragedy master played Shi Yikong's level in the third game of the Western Conference Finals.

22 points, 14 rebounds and 19 assists in a single game.

Louis had actually seen this kind of data on a man named Russell.

Unlike the future Russell, the tragedy master's acquisition of such data is an inevitable result of certain circumstances.

Abdul-Jabbar is old, Pippen has a truce, if he doesn't play like this, how can the Lakers win?

April 5

Whether the Knicks can lose a playoff game in the Eastern Conference depends on today.

"No one supports Detroit because everyone else loses to New York and Detroit deserves to lose. Everyone thinks so."

Pistons announcer Ken Calvert said resignedly.

"However, the more we are in this difficult situation, the more we must stay strong. Miracles will only happen to those who don't give up."

Leaving aside whether the Pistons players gave up, Louis wondered, what are the Pistons doing?

In the first few rounds of the game, he couldn't understand the Pistons' defensive strategy.

The last time he encountered a situation where he couldn't understand the game at all was when he first arrived in Boston in 1978, but this time, he couldn't understand it again.

In the past three games, the Pistons have used three strategies.

Mid-range shots, three-pointers, and offense-to-attack were all easily resolved by the Knicks without exception.

The most valuable lesson the Pistons learned was not giving New Yorkers a chance.

The Pistons seem to be very afraid of the Knicks' defense changes, and the pick-and-roll tactics have been greatly reduced.

Dumars and other guards had a limited number of pick-and-roll tactics with Parish, which were initiated by the left and right wings, and the ball-handler went to the bottom line. In defense of this kind of pick-and-roll, most teams will choose a big defender and a small defender to drive the ball-handler to the bottom line.

In this way, it is very difficult for the ball handler to pass the lob to the screener.

In fact, so far in the series, the Pistons' pick-and-roll tactics have been severely restricted by the Knicks.

The Knicks switched defenses on the outer flanks and Ewing's blockade of the penalty area all blocked their chances to eat cakes along the inside.

Today, Parish, who ranks first in the Pistons in terms of finishing effect and ball-holding ability, has not gained the trust of the coaching staff and teammates since the beginning.

As far as Louie sees it, the Pistons coaching staff didn't try to play tactics on Parish at all, and Parish only played less than 26 minutes this time. Compared with him, playing small ball around Worthy is Daly's preferred routine. However, Worthy's offense is powerless against the Knicks.

In the first few games, Louis could understand the various practices of the Pistons.

Today's play, he watched for a long time, and saw that the players under his hand easily established a lead. Worthy was tortured in the paint by the blind, but the coaching staff of the Pistons instilled poisonous chicken soup like "you hold on, victory is ours" every round.

Louis couldn't understand but was quite shocked.

In addition, Joe Dumas basically wrote "the fight is almost over, the master is waiting for the holiday" written on his face.

I saw Dumars throw a few shots from the outside under Stockton's emptiness, and found that none of them were thrown in, and his mood became even more depressed. Later, he began to possess the Buddha, fished online, just pushed and counterattacked, and occasionally played with the ball in positional battles.

The Pistons' coaching staff did everything they could, leaving only passion, but their passion was not conveyed to the players. Except for Parish, who couldn't catch the ball, everyone else turned into a smithy owner.

伊洛4中1，沃西11中3，阿吉雷10中3，马洪5中2，杜马斯9中3，就没一个当人的。

Moreover, the harder the shot is, the more blocked the basket will be. As a result, the Pistons cannot make shots from the outside, and when they attack the inside and encounter terrifying defensive pressure, it is naturally difficult to score.

The Pistons' offense made fans in Auburn Hills despair.

They shouted happily at the beginning, but slowly they became dumb as if they had been gagged.

The shooting is not good, the basket is too blocked, and the Pistons' offense is as uncomfortable as constipation.

In the second half, the Pistons' coaching staff hoped to rely on mid-range singles to solve the constipation offense.

They let Worthy single-handedly first-he was efficient in this mid-range single-handed battle based on height and speed, but his touch was a problem. Fortunately, he didn't want the Pistons to end the last game of the season with a difference of more than 30 points, and his touch slowly recovered.

Afterwards, Dumas was encouraged by Worthy and began to cheer himself up. He approached Stockton to single-handedly. Of course, his hand feeling was still bad, so he shut himself up after a while, and Aguirre would also be single-handed without being reminded.

But there is no other way, they have no routines to play, the only way is to play whoever gets the ball like now.

Conversely, the Knicks have all kinds of ease and waves.

Because the opponent's resistance is too low, Wilson is another person who needs to be stimulated to cheer up.

So he decided to have some fun with himself, like back teleporting for 5 assists.

He sent 5 turnovers before getting 5 assists.

"Benj, get out of here!"

"Coach, isn't he your big baby?" Ewing asked gloatingly.

Mr. You successfully broke Coach Lu's defense: "What's the matter with you? Get out of here!"

Wilson knew why Louis was angry, so he smiled like a fool when he got down, "Coach, I was wrong."

"I think I was wrong. I was too kind to you, which made you hallucinate. You don't need to play this game anymore. Let's rest."

Louie traded Rodman for Wilson.

It turned out that whether to change Wilson or not in that case had no effect on the result.

The Pistons were defeated.

In the fourth quarter, Daly said all kinds of inspiring words to motivate the players. Their goal is to keep the point difference below 30 points.

Louie and Daly are friends, and it is not his purpose to humiliate each other, so for most of the fourth quarter, the Knicks only had two main players on the field.

But the Pistons feel too bad, and Louis can't deliberately let his men miss the ball.

Sekali, Marli, Hornacek, Song Tao, Angie, the phantom gods of garbage time, all dare to fight and fight hard to beat their opponents to death.

In the end, with Louie's reluctance, the Knicks beat the Pistons with 34 points, with a strong humiliating nature, and eliminated the Detroiters from the playoffs.

After the game, Louis walked up to Daly, wanting to express his shame.

"Stop talking, Lu." Daly said with a smile, "I have all my words in my hands."

He held Louis' hand, exerted strength, and almost broke Louis' bone.
