the rest, only noise

Chapter 681 The man who is strong because of tragedy
The immediate predicament made Pat Riley helpless, and Louis directed the Knicks to cut the Lakers' offensive system into three pieces.

One is David Robinson's 45-degree singles, the other is Pippen's high shot, and the other is to use targeted defense to lure the tragedies to attack with the ball.

Although the Lakers still have as many as three offensive plans, none of them is safe, and this is exactly the strategic intention that Louis wants to achieve.

Pippen's high-post shots are unstable, and Robinson's 45-degree angle singles are not small, but the Knicks' pocket array is prepared for this.

With too many defenders and not enough space, the unicorn Robinson also had to hit a wall.

Gradually, the Lakers players found that as long as they fell into positional battles, they couldn't play well, and then lost their desire to attack and aggressiveness. Whenever the team had problems, they always instinctively asked the tragedian to solve the problem.

They suffer from tragedy teacher dependence.

This sounds good, because the playoffs are the stage for superstars, but years of failure experience have made Riley and the tragedy master understand that if only one superstar is relied on, the team will not go far.What's more, they still have a bigger goal (to win the championship), but when the tragedian found that the group of reliable young people around him lost their usual self-confidence under the defense of the Knicks, and later relied entirely on himself to support the game, wouldn't he think of the nightmarish six-game losing streak in the finals?
So far in his career, the Tragedy Master has reached the finals nine times, but only won twice, but lost seven times. Compared with the first generation of the Tragedy Master, Elgin Baylor, it is already comparable.

At halftime, the Lakers, who were in a daze, were defended by the Knicks to only 47 points. Their opponent, the Knicks, led by 58 points with 11 points.

The Lakers star fan base was silent.

"Eddie, keep barking, why don't you stop barking?" Louis said meanly, "What a rare opportunity to perform, don't waste it!"

Jennifer Beers knew that Louis was unhappy with these stars, but she also knew that Murphy was still one of the most influential actors in the United States even though his momentum was not as strong as it was back then, and it would be no good to offend him to death.

"Coach Lu, the game is not over yet, don't be too happy." Jennifer interrupted

Only then did Murphy reply: "Yes! The Lakers will definitely counterattack in the second half. None of you can guard against the Magician!"

Only Lakers fans on this planet still call Elvin Johnson Magic.

Louis smiled, and no longer struggled, and walked to the side to accept a live interview with CBS.

"Coach Lu, do you think there is any room for improvement in this game?"

The matchup between the Knicks and the Lakers is considered to be a preview of this year's Finals. Louis believes that the strength of the Lakers is more than that.

So he decided to save some character, although this thing basically failed in front of the stars.

"In my opinion, the Lakers are the best team in the West. They have many great players. They will regroup in the second half." Louis only milked his opponents, not himself.

Louis returned to the locker room, and Zhao Yuanzheng had already prepared the battle plan for the second half.

Louis took it over and saw that Zhao Yuanzheng's thinking was generally correct.

His focus is to prevent the connection between the tragedy master and his teammates. This kind of thinking is a core guiding ideology that most teams must have when playing against the Lakers.

Tragedy's personal ability is unsolvable and powerful, but if he is allowed to use this unsolvable energy to improve the performance of his teammates, the game situation will be firmly controlled by the Lakers.

But now, Louis didn't feel that the tragedy master would still regard connecting teammates as a top priority.

In the past two years, the Lakers have replaced old guns with new guns through Jerry West's Tianxiu operation, and have successively recruited Kevin Johnson, Scottie Pippen, David Robinson and others, but these people, the strong come from the strong, but they all need time to grow.

At this stage, the strongest immediate combat power may be Robinson, who has not finished a season, followed by Pippen, who is close to completion on the defensive end, and then KJ, who needs a lot of possessions to mature.

This team looks powerful on paper, but it will take a few years to turn its book strength into actual combat strength.

In the case of many newcomers, if you can take the flight, you will naturally take the flight. What if you can't take the flight?

Super giant Kai Wushuang, this is the only option.

The offline tragedy master in this world is such a player.

Judging from many indicators such as positional warfare, pushing counterattacks, finding opportunities, and playing ability, he is not the first organizer in history but also the second organizer in history.If his teammates are upbeat, he can lead the whole team.However, the opponents he faced in the past few years were the peak Green Kai Dynasty and the Knicks, an emerging dynasty that surpassed the Green Kai. He knew long ago that if he didn't strengthen himself and master the ability to kill the game, he might never get the third ring again.

Therefore, under the influence of the various butterfly effects triggered by Louis, Tragedy finally became the best ball-handling core in the league + a top five offensive player in the league + shooting skills that attack without dead ends after halftime + single-point blasting monsters who are misplaced when hitting anyone.

In terms of personal ability, this version of the Tragedian is probably one or two grades stronger than the version that only remained in the memory of Louis' previous life.

Now they have forced the Lakers to the point where the tragedies must take over. Therefore, they have to guard against his singles with the ball.

"In the second half, our countermeasures are as follows—"

"Considering that Scottie Pippen is shooting less than 40% from beyond the free throw line, you should be bold enough to cut him short and block the path of the tragedy."

"Considering that David Robinson's movements will be deformed after encountering fierce confrontation, and Dick Bavita suddenly returned to adolescence (rebellious/to be a rebellious son) for some reason, and no longer filial to his Lakers father, so you can give more physical contact. Don't be polite. Let David know that this alliance is very cruel."

"As for the other shooting spots in Los Angeles, it's not a concern."

"The point is the tragedy master. Although many people think he is not as good as Larry, in my opinion, apart from not having teammates like Isiah Thomas and Ralph Sampson, in terms of personal ability, he may have surpassed Larry. I can't say who is stronger or weaker between him and another MJ, but at this stage, he can cause us more trouble than Portland's MJ."

If the Lakers can't find their form in the Knicks' steel torrent of hand-to-hand combat in the second half, Tragedy's offense with the ball is their basic set.

If the tragedies can be prevented, the Lakers can get the ticket.

Louis understands this truth, so he has to anticipate that the tragedy master may hold a large number of singles with the ball.

"In the second half, Dennis, you will start at the third position, Benj will be at the second position, and Reggie will be the substitute." Louis said to Rodman, who was the third criminal, "I will leave the tragedy to you."

Rodman immediately put down his harsh words: "I will make him die ugly!"

"You fucking elm-headed? Who asked you to kill him? Can't think of something positive?"

Rodman didn't know what Louie identified as positive things.

Louis picked up the tactical board and said: "If Travis is in the low post, we must double-team him. His teammates are unreliable in shooting ability. When the pass comes out, they either miss the shot or receive the ball without any reaction. Therefore, we can be sure that if Travis wants to attack with the ball, he will not go to the low post. Outside the arc top three-point line, this open position is the best hunting point."

"If he doesn't call the pick-and-roll, let Dennis defend alone, and remember not to foul."

"If he calls for a pick-and-roll and is responsible for stepping forward to cooperate with him, there is a high probability that it will be David Robinson and Patrick. Your defense will determine the success or failure of the overall defense. I need you to control the basket while not giving David a complete vacancy. You must not only help defend against the tragic master, but also use your wingspan to block his passing line."

Fortunately, David Robinson's range is not long enough, so the order to give Ewing a partial one defense and two defenses can be completed.

If Robinson can shoot from one step inside the three-point line like Ewing, then he can only switch defenses.

If the defense is changed, it is to insist on having the tragic master one-on-one. The latter is a master of misplaced offense at the historical level.

Either slow, or short, or thin, there is always a weakness that he will catch.

Zhao Yuanzheng found that Louis thought of further places. He had been thinking about the connection of the tragedy masters, but he ignored that this person's offense with the ball was already so strong that he had to guard against it.

"Even so, if the tragedian chooses to make an emergency stop jump shot in the middle distance, Patrick's defense may only interfere a little bit in form."

Zhao Yuanzheng thought of a greater possibility along Louis's thoughts.

Tragedy masters are different from some talented men who rely on their good health and neglect to hone their skills. As soon as they debut, they have a mid-range shot, so they really have to be guarded against.

"Xuanzheng makes sense. We will discuss this matter in detail later. Now we will play according to the routines I said. They can't defend our offense, so the focus is on our defense. If this offensive and defensive trend continues for half a quarter, the Lakers will be completely blown by us. Guys, work harder, GOGOGO!!!"
