the rest, only noise

Chapter 742 Four Elements
Tragedy is undoubtedly the most difficult star to limit.

In the first quarter, he showed his versatility.

Once the defense is loosened, he is like a wild horse that has been let go of the rein, and no one can control it.

Also, in a defensive environment without double-teams, he is too free.

Just a one-on-one breakthrough allowed him to score 8 points.In addition, there are 4 points from the rotation counterattack and a three-pointer from the outside.

With 15 points in a single quarter, in addition to his full offensive output, he can't find fault in motivating his teammates to attack.

He managed to get David Robinson to eat, and he helped Scottie Pippen with a successful mismatch attack in the low post, plus a catch dunk on the cut.

Lakers play strong at home to take lead 29-24
Billy Cunningham, who is a staunch anti-Louis party, is naturally delighted to see the performance of the Lakers: "I think this is a signal for the return of the Lakers."

"Ten years ago, the Lakers won the first championship in the 80s. This year, they may also win the first championship in the 90s." Cunningham's words did not satisfy the Lakers fans. "They may completely fail in the competition with the Celtics, but winning the championship for three consecutive years is not an achievement that ordinary teams can achieve."

Lakers fans don't like the truth, especially the truth about the Celtics.

Even if this fact cannot be refuted, they have to show their middle fingers to the person who tells the truth.

Like Jack Nicholson yelling to Cunningham from a distance: "You know a fucking hammer!"

The Lakers took the lead, a result that Louis had already expected.

Since you want the opponent to open it, you must let the opponent open it from the beginning, otherwise it will be difficult to operate later.

From the current point of view, this game is very entertaining.

Although Louis didn't have real-time viewership data, he believed that the audience would buy it.

In the second quarter, Louie strengthened the targeting of the Lakers' defensive weak spots and fully activated the game plan formulated before the game.

The Knicks' game plan is to let the tragedian do whatever he wants, but keep his teammates on tight guard.

This kind of plan seems illogical, because people like Tragedy Master, as long as they open it, they will inevitably bring their teammates to cheer together, which is determined by their style of play.

But before, the Knicks had already had a case where the tragedian was alone, but his performance was mediocre in terms of instigation.

To do this, you must have a firm idea of ​​​​not double-teaming the tragic teacher.

As long as they don't make changes for any of Tragedy's attacks and resolutely stare at his teammates, even if he wants to pass the ball, there will be no suitable opportunities.

The Knicks' offense and defense in the second quarter are like this.

Tragedy against the Knicks' rookie -- Louie dramatically let rookie Doug West single guard him.

"Little Lu, you just let such a recruit to deal with him?"

Many Lakers fans protested.

They considered such an arrangement an insult to the tragedian.

However, after a season in the Knicks team, West's defensive skills have improved a lot compared to his college days. His physical talent is already good, and he is still a wing with the best athletic ability. After he specializes in defense, his physical talent can play a greater role.

Tragedy had a lot of trouble just breaking his defense.

Fortunately, Robinson made a rescue.

Robinson was covering for his teammates in the high position, and Ewing didn't follow him when he saw that he was far away from the basket.

The tragedy division returned a pass, and Robinson stood 21 feet (6.4 meters) from the basket and barely shot.

Louie couldn't understand.

How dare Robinson make a shot there?It's considered a long-range shooting point there. Although it's not beyond the three-point line, it's not far away.

"boom!"

Not going in, the players on the Knicks pushed the counterattack.

27 is better than 29
After that, Louis adjusted the lineup on the field.

In addition to West, the other four Knicks players on the court are Hornacek, Miller, Ainge, and Bowie.

With West, this can be regarded as a lineup of one big and four small.Including West, he has four outside players and all have long-range shooting ability.

This is also the core arrangement for Louie to defeat the Lakers.

The Knicks' long-range shots are a pain point that the Lakers cannot solve.

Because Pippen can only cover one, Robinson will be a colander if he runs inside. Aguirre is good, but it is not enough to prevent a big four shots under the framework of the N.UCLA system.

"Teaming!"

Louie suddenly yelled.

Because Tragedy plays with the ball in a deep position.

That kind of place can be double-teamed.

Because the players are close, the flanking is just right.

The tragic division attracts the defense, and the ball in his hand is passed outwards.

McKay catches the ball and does the same thing as the Tragician—going to the hoop.

As a standard-sized wing, McKay hits the paint like a tragedian.However, he doesn't have that ability.

Bowie's tough big cap rejected his dunk.

Pippen picked up the floor ball from the outside, and because there was not much time left in the attack, he reluctantly made a shot, but was affected by Miller in front of him.

Pippen missed a three-pointer at the buzzer.

There was only a bang, and the long rebound was taken by Bowie.

In Lu Yi's eyes, Bowie is no longer the Knicks' old Wharton, he is more like Tian Yu who played Teacher Wang in "Charlotte Annoyance".A top-quality green leaf, which can resist output, can keep the lower limit, and won't steal the show.

After getting the rebound, he decisively threw the ball to Hornacek who was going down the frontcourt.

Hornacek speeds up the dribble and hits a counterattack again.

29 is better than 29
The Knicks tied the score and the two sides drew. It seemed that there was still a lot of time, and the Lakers also had to play, but Pat Riley seemed to regard this round of offense and defense as a turning point in the game and immediately called a timeout.

Louie was largely satisfied with the performance of the second unit, and even Doug West had a blast with his job.

Moreover, the rotation time has not yet come, and he does not intend to change.

"Because we lack a reliable defensive core on the field, they may let Kevin Johnson play. Remember, KJ has some psychological problems. He is jealous of Irving, but he can't change the status quo. So, as long as he gets the ball, he should find a way to score. He wants to show himself and prove himself."

"This kind of psychology is worth learning, but it can also be used."

The timeout ended and the Knicks lineup remained unchanged.

The Lakers seem to be tit for tat.

They sent KJ, Pippen, tragedy division, Robinson, Divac.

1 guard, 2 wings, 2 centers.

In this lineup, Tragedy plays the [-]rd position. With his size, he is also fully capable. Moreover, the Knicks have Doug West as a wing with decent physical talent and size. There is only Bowie on the inside. Hornacek and Ainge are short partners in the backcourt. Although Miller has no problem in size, he is too thin, so he is no match for the Lakers.

Moreover, the twin-tower lineup will put tremendous pressure on Bowie's defense and rebounding.

Judging from the lineup alone, the Lakers have obvious advantages.

"But they have no long-range threat." Zhao Yuanzheng clearly pointed out.

Louis smiled and said, "That's right, but the real problem is not here yet."

KJ dribbles over and the Knicks put Ainge on him.

Angie, when he was young, was the successor of ML Carr in the Celtics. He liked to fight with his opponents. Whenever there was a conflict, he was always on the front line. Even if he came to the Knicks, he was also the player who had the most conflicts with others.

Under the dual constraints of size and talent, his defense has never been good enough. Even if he has mastered all the dirty moves, no one thinks he is a top defender. If he is to defend KJ, wouldn't that be a gift?

KJ broke through with the dribble, and a tragic player opened up space at a 45-degree angle on the left.

Angie was easily passed by him, and the Knicks' defense shrank accordingly.

KJ, who was eager to prove himself, was taken out by Hornacek in this case.

"Too anxious!" Cunningham severely criticized KJ, "I don't know what he is anxious about! The Knicks' defense line has been disrupted by him, and he can pass the ball to his teammates and reorganize the offense!"

The Lakers' timeout seemed to call a loneliness.

KJ was pulled out, and the Knicks got another chance to counterattack.

Angie, who had been stepped over before, actually got the best position. He received a pass from his teammate and wanted to score a fast break, but was brutally knocked to the ground by the Lakers.

Nick Systrom called Scottie Pippen's technical foul for bringing Ainge down.

But Angie stood up and yelled, "Did you fucking think that being called a technical foul would be okay? Tell you, you better not let me get a chance, or I'll fucking kick your shit out!"

Pippen was trembling and dared not respond.

The biggest problem for the Lakers is not that they have lost in the finals in a row, but that no team in the West can give them a real challenge.

Like Pippen, he was so complacent before the opening, as if he was so amazing, but in the end he was bitten by Angie, like a good student who has never been criticized, so ashamed that he wanted to cry.

Then, it was KJ who swelled to the point that he could no longer accommodate the ambition of the tragic master, and Zhao Yuanzheng mentioned that the Lakers' lineup has no ability to stretch space.

Heart, coordination, experience and determination, the Lakers don't have everything, how can they fight against the experienced Knicks?
