the rest, only noise

Chapter 680

The score was 28 to 25 in the first quarter, with the Knicks leading by 3 points.

"The Voice of the Lakers" Chick Hearn said: "This game will make you understand why it only took New York two years to complete what Los Angeles and Boston took decades to complete."

In the second half of the first quarter, Dick Bavita did not dare to rely on himself as a referee to do whatever he wanted.

After the tragic master stopped the nosebleed and returned to the field, his murderous look was much heavier.

David Robinson is also gradually showing his own characteristics.

Robinson in Louie's eyes is a small forward disguised as a center forward, from his agility to his style of play.Moreover, he is a retro small forward who likes the high basket on the offensive end, and Pat Riley found his sweet spot straightforwardly.

It's a 45-degree angle left and right.

Robinson's high position attack with the ball is to catch the ball in those two positions.

Lakers fans will not be surprised by that position, because they have seen another big man ruthlessly ravage Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in that position.

Robinson showed them the shadow of Ralph Sampson.

Louis also compared Robinson and Sampson in his heart. What would happen if the two matched up?
In the Christmas game last year, Sampson was absent due to injury and missed the meeting with Robinson.

They will have a chance to compete later, but this also brings more questions to the fans.

The game went a lot smoother without the addition of Dick Bavetta.

The score achieved by the two sides was entirely based on the premise of strengthening each other.

In the second quarter, Louie saw that the Lakers were going to replace Vlade Divac to help Robinson get some rest time.

Since people dare to be a rookie at this time, Louis thinks he should have the same awareness.

"Small!" Louie just shouted, and Kemp jumped up energetically.

He was so excited by the fierce battle at the beginning, and he only hated that he was not on the field and could not help.

"Coach, what do I need to do?" Kemp asked enthusiastically.

Louie has only one request for him: "If Patrick leaves the penalty area, you have to protect the basket. If he stays in the penalty area, you can sweep around instead of him. Remember, the Lakers also have rookies, so don't behave badly."

Camp was as energetic as if someone had used the millennium killer to refresh his mind: "Look at mine!"

"The more confident he is, the more worried I am," Willis Reed said.

Louie felt the same way, and they all thought Kemp was going to screw it up.

Fortunately, Louis made a lot of rotations in the first quarter, allowing them to add Stockton, Miller, Ewing, and Alex Stevens in the transition at the beginning of the second quarter.

Three main players, one substitute, and one rookie.

By the standards of the transition lineup, this is a good match.

The Lakers' second lineup is also not bad, led by Kevin Johnson, paired with Divac, Derek McKay and others, they are fully capable of wrestling with the Knicks.

In addition, the Lakers also let David Robinson, who played 10 minutes in the first quarter, partner with Divac.

The Lakers used the twin towers, while the Knicks are in a normal formation.

Seeing the Lakers' two-tower lineup, Louis gave Stockton a wink: "John, play more high-post dynamic offense!"

Stockton nodded yes.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Lakers made a mistake and lost the ball, and Ewing made a high bunny jumper.

30 is better than 25
KJ regrouped and wanted to forcefully tear apart Stockton's defense, but seeing Robinson take the initiative to ask for a position, that position was too good to give up.

The ball passed, and now the defensive pressure was on Ewing.

Louis believes that as long as Ewing's mentality can be stabilized, there will be no problem defending Robinson.

Sure enough, Ewing, who sat on the bench for most of the quarter and watched a bloody battle between his teammates and the Lakers, fully understood where his advantages lie.

Robinson's body is unsolvable, but his lower body is weak.

Ewing's lower body strength is enough to control Robinson's back hit and stay in place.

Robinson, like many insiders who overestimated his post-up power, found that he couldn't beat Ewing and wanted to face the basket, but it was impossible.

Ewing blocked all possibilities of turning around.

If you want to turn around forcibly, you may be called an offensive foul by him.

Thinking of the home court advantage, Robinson forcibly turned around. During this period, he couldn't control his elbow and hit Ewing's body.

The gorilla lay back and turned over to make Dick Bavita, who called Robinson an offensive foul.

"@!@!￥@#%"

"How can this be a foul? Can you blow the whistle?!"

"Bavita, what's the matter with you?"

"Are you still a member of the Lakers family?!"

Robinson didn't expect to get body hair blown at home.

The Knicks didn't treat Kemp as a tool man because he was a rookie. Stockton likes to feed rookies.

He is used to helping them score with comfortable passes to build mutual chemistry.

This is why he pleases everyone, as long as Stockton wants to feed you, 20 points in a single game is easy.

Because Stockton has the passing ability and playmaking qualifications to make anyone 20 points in a game, many people will say hello to him on their birthday night (if there is a game).

Stockton will not refuse to celebrate their birthdays in this way.

Kemp finished the pick-and-roll for Stockton, turned and cut, and received the pass.

But Kemp did not forget what Louis said, to play more high-post dynamic offense, so although he received the ball, he only attracted the defense and then distributed to the outside.

Miller takes the ball, passes Ewing's pick-and-roll, and hits an open shot.

Neither Robinson nor Divac could follow.

"Shh!"

33 is better than 25
"Now, the situation of the Lakers is not good!"

Riley refrained from calling a timeout, and he tolerated one more round at most.

Kemp's youthful side was exposed afterwards.

On the second pass Stockton gave him, he chose Robinson who came out of the three-point line with the ball in singles.

From the perspective of choice, yes, after all, his body is not at a disadvantage, and Robinson, as an insider, will definitely not be able to keep up with his outside breakthroughs.But he didn't expect Robinson to let him go. After Kemp rushed in with the ball, he was completely covered by Robinson.

I saw him make the first fake move to the basket. Robinson, who loves to eat, didn't eat it.

"Where's your brain! Where's your brain?" Reid scolded angrily, "Why do you think you can hit him single-handedly? Why do you? Where did I remember everything I taught you, you little bastard!"

Reid's anger was understandable, but Louis was not angry, because that was Robinson's advantage just now. He was not afraid of Kemp's dexterity and agility who could attack big men with the ball.

Kemp is too young, fearless, invincible in high school, and overestimated his own strength when he hit the NBA, which is understandable.

Just compared to Divac, it seems that he is too brainless.

Divac also had the opportunity to hit Ewing, but he chose not to.

Knowing that Ewing's defense is so strong that he cannot break through, he took the initiative to support Robinson with the ball and helped Robinson get into the basket and score beautifully.

The Knicks' offense revolved around the characteristics that the Lakers' twin towers could not defend, and continued to fire at mid-range and long-range.

After Miller found his touch, the Lakers not only failed to rely on the inside advantage to narrow the score, but instead lost more and more.

When the point difference came to 11 points, Riley couldn't sit still.

Even if Riley doesn't call a timeout, Louie will call a timeout, and the Knicks' defense against Robinson is mediocre.

"MJ is probably coming back. From now on, give up offensive rebounds, retreat at full speed, and don't give them a chance to play Show Time." For the tragedy teacher, this is Louis's only arrangement. In addition, for Robinson, he has absorbed the advice of the assistants and said it in a long way. "If David catches the ball at a 45-degree angle on the left and right sides, no matter whether it's low or high, Alex or Pin Xiao, you must flank him. Because the one responsible for flanking must be a teammate under the basket, so as long as someone steps forward to flank, those close to the basket must fill in in time. The penalty area cannot be empty. They are on the twin towers, which is a great threat to the rebound. Someone must be blocked at any time!"

Finally, Louis looked at Stockton and Miller, "If David is flanked, with his vision and skills, it will be easy to find teammates in the corner. In that case, they should arrange someone with range to stand in the corner and pay attention to cutting off his ball. If it doesn't work, the defensive rotation must keep up. In short, stop him at all costs!"

After the timeout ended, there were a few points that confirmed Louis' guess.

The tragedy master is back, not only him, Pippen is also back, but the Lakers did not play KJ, and there are actually three core ball holders in the backcourt + wings, and Riley is not afraid of them fighting for the ball.

Pippen is in charge of the bottom corner. His most stable three-pointer is the right bottom corner, which coincides with Robinson's passing line.

After the Knicks' flanking intention was discovered by the Lakers, Robinson's teammates wanted to help him by moving and sliding down.

With Robinson's vision and ability, he can pass the ball to the open three-pointer in the weak side corner.But in this round after the timeout, when the Knicks pinched him for the first time, he passed the ball to Divac under the basket, wanting him to make an alley-oop.

Knicks fight back;
The second time, his passing intention was seen through by Stockton and was cut off.

The Knicks strike back again;

In five rounds, Robinson took the ball four times and was intercepted twice. One defensive rotation was in place, and the other time, although the ball was not intercepted, the Knicks' defensive pressure was in place.

Sagittarius is nervous even when people are not in front of them.

When you're nervous, it's easy to miss a shot.

So the Knicks fought back again.

The point difference was pulled to 16 points, Riley had no choice but to call a timeout, and Louis said to the off-field players: "Don't be idle, show me your arrogant face!"

"That's right, that's it, lip service!"
