the rest, only noise

Chapter 672 Disappointing
The insiders of the two sides showed each other a wave of talent.

Sampson attracted a double-team and passed the ball to Lambir in the high post, who made a jumper.

Kevin McHale is sensitive to inside duels, and he doesn't feel he will lose to anyone in the duel.Facing Sampson's defense, he shook his shoulders, turned around and retreated to shoot fake moves to shake Sampson, and then hit the time difference shot and hit the rebound.

4 is better than 2
Not long after, Sampson held the ball high.

Bird and Laimbier pulled apart, and Sampson forced McHale to defend close with a shooting fake, then dropped the ball to the ground, dribbled through, went straight to the basket, and used his height to dunk.

As long as the space is widened and the defense is not closed in time, Sampson will be unstoppable.

When Louis watched him play, there was only one word to describe him, and that was easy.

Too easy.

Sampson has long learned to use his body to defeat his opponents. This body is not his physical fitness, but pure physical condition.

His height, coupled with his wingspan, makes it difficult to defend as long as he plays high and high.

Sampson also has a full complement of offensive skills to aid the offense.

In this case, he's like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with 18 skyhooks.He can attack from any position with matching tools from his arsenal.

He and Louis are the same age, and he is only 29 years old. He was just a shooting star in the history of basketball, but he was transformed by Louis into the most reckless force in the 80s.

If he keeps playing like this, he really can live as long as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

And, he has one advantage Kareem never had: He loves the game of basketball.

McHale was obviously unconvinced. After being hit by Sampson, he wanted to return it.

In the short corner area outside the heavy paint area on the right, McHale took the ball and deliberately went up the line to give Sampson the illusion that he was going to hit the road and hook.

Sampson's center of gravity was deceived by him. McHale was like a trickster who succeeded in tricks. He made a beautiful inside turn and stepped forward to firmly shake the opponent's body away, leaned forward and jumped, and bent down. He held the ball with his long arms and made a counter-basket, making it difficult for Sampson's defense to touch the ball.

6 is better than 4
"Kevin McHale has no fear in front of Mr. One!"

"In terms of offense alone, Kevin can compete with Ralph!"

Brent Musberg and Hubie Brown were bragging about not drafting.

Louis is not optimistic. If Sampson has enough space, he will look as terrifying as O'Neal who played Zhou Qi in the low post. Coach Lu knows that the two have never matched up, and it is impossible to match up.

In the few rounds just now, Louis saw the problem.

Jimmy Rodgers has deliberately downplayed the imprint of the KC Jones era.

He didn't adopt the methods KC used to win the championship. He wanted to use his own tactics.Although KC has some small innovations, everyone knows that he can continue to win the championship after Louis left, precisely because he retained Louis' four tactical systems.

But now, those four tactical systems have all been abandoned.

Rodgers is going to use his stuff.

There is nothing wrong with establishing Sampson as the core of tactics.

Letting Bird play off the ball is not a mistake.

I don't know how to position Thomas and simply marginalize him tactically-this makes it difficult for Louis to understand.

Louis had already laid a solid foundation for this team back then, and their style of play was so good that even if they played in the small ball era, they were full of competitiveness.

Because Louie has instilled space in this team.

Space is very important in any era, but in the small ball era, the prosperity of three-pointers has made the court space as wide as the sea.

What does good spacing mean for a strong team?In fact, just think about the peak Kobe if he can be one-on-one in a comfortable position every round.

As long as his teammates can open up space, Kobe can play one-on-one as he likes. Coupled with the convenience of the rules, he encourages foul-making.

So space comes first, never wrong.

A good space is to facilitate the players to play.

But the Celtics' team building concept fell into a misunderstanding. Lambiel hardly shot three-pointers, and Sampson also shot less three-pointers. Under the new system, only Bird was left in the entire starting lineup and still had a three-point threat.

Kudos to Rodgers, Louie and KC for the house that took 5 years to build and he took just over a year to tear it down.

This project is well done, in a word, absolutely.

Rodman and Wilson frequently came to the low post to double-team Sampson.

Although Sampson can pass the ball, as long as Bird is not open to catch the ball, the Knicks are not afraid.

There is no center on the field, and their rotation speed relies on the athletic ability of the wings, which is extremely well executed.

Louie stopped looking inside, he only looked at Bird.

He wondered what Rogers would do with Bird.

The result was disappointing, as Rodgers called for a set screen to create an open opportunity for Bird.Although there are many changes in the routine, this method is too restrictive for Bird.

Moreover, the Celtics who played a lot of pick-and-rolls in the era of Louis and KC disappeared.

Occasionally, a few pick-and-rolls are not blocked by the inside line, but by Lewis.

Flanking pick-and-roll, the problem is obvious, small size, can't stop people, causing Bird or Thomas to call a screen and find that they can't get rid of the defense.

This kind of situation is actually common. The pick-and-roll cannot be successful every time, but the pick-and-roll player's own containment will also help the ball holder create opportunities.If the pick-and-roll is threatening enough to roll down or out, then the split-second change in the pick-and-roll will be exploited. If you let a wing pick-and-roll, that's another matter.

Unless it is a wing-shaped insider, playing this game in the big ball era is a bit too advanced and advanced.

This advanced level has reached the point where it seems to be very backward in this era because it is too advanced.

After about 5 minutes, Bird had the opportunity to attack.

Sampson knew that he couldn't solve the Knicks alone, so he had to let Bird fire.

Bird is a microwave oven. Even if he hasn't attacked for a long time, he can feel it when he comes up, and he can shoot and score against Wilson.

But is it useful?
Louis doesn't care about this score.

Immediately afterwards, on the offensive end, Wilson ran in circles, Bird couldn't keep up, and Lewis took into account Miller and dared not make up the defense.

That's how they put the opportunity in Wilson's hands.

Wilson was not cold and hit a three-pointer.

It's not that Rogers didn't think of a way to solve their offense. Sometimes, the Celtics will make their tactics more complicated and find ways to return the ball to Bird, Sampson, and Thomas.

Stiff, awkward, lifeless.

This wasn't the Celtics Louie remembered.

If that's where the Celtics are, even if they adapt to Rodgers' playbook, he won't see the team as a barrier to the Knicks breaking out of the East.

Instead of wasting time worrying about whether this team will cause them trouble, it is better to think about the Lakers, Jazz, Suns, and Trail Blazers.

The West is the hell mode. Looking around, there are actually four teams competing for tickets to the finals. It is tragic when you think about it.

In the second quarter, when Bird and Sampson went down to rest, Rodgers gave Thomas authority.

Judging from Thomas' performance, he probably let Thomas let go of his hands and feet to attack with all his strength.

tactics?No.

The pick-and-roll is the only tactical support. After the pick-and-roll, it depends on Thomas' own personal ability.

Thomas met Louie's team automatically, and Rodgers was so tactically inferior to him that Louie believed he would explode during the season.

After working hard for Boston for many years, giving up the spotlight to Bird and Sampson, but in the end, he was killed and killed. It would not be happy for anyone.

If Thomas had a higher status in the team, perhaps Mark Aguirre would not have been rejected.

Over the years, Thomas has honestly been the No. [-] figure in the Green Army, just for the phone call back then?

Louis doesn't know, maybe, maybe not, Thomas is such an unpredictable player.

Regardless of the full attack of his teammates, Thomas narrowed the 5-point gap for the Celtics.

Louie replaced Sam Bowie and asked him to defend in the pit.

Because Thomas went inside many times tonight.

His mid-range shot, which can kill people, became a nerve knife after he injured his ACL at the beginning.

Instead, Bowie has repeatedly surprised people.

He is really like Bill Walton back then, as long as he is on the court, he can contribute high-quality defense, rebounds and instigate offense.

Facing Lambiel, he even sent a beautiful low turnaround jumper.

Louis couldn't help shouting: "It's so beautiful, who needs Ewing!"

Louis' strategy of letting Bowie squat in the pit really disgusted Thomas.

He does have a bad shooting touch, and his offense relies on killing in the penalty area. Although Bowie is sick, he is healthy now. As long as he is healthy, he is a rim protector that cannot be ignored.

When Isiah Thomas was replaced, Louie sneered at Rogers.

He waved his hand, and suddenly, put on a murder press.

Ainge, Wilson, Rodman, Stevens, John Saley.

For the Green Army, this is a nightmare.

They will never forget how they were knocked off their thrones.

They couldn't hold off the Knicks' murderous press in their heyday a few years ago, now?
