Chapter 793

"Doug, what do you think?"

Billy Owens isn't quite as good as one might expect.

In this opening game, he has been disappointing since his first offense.

In people's imagination, he should be a combination of Tragedy and Bird, who can serve as a tall point guard like a magician, and then use Bird's skills to control the game.

Therefore, after the game, the Celtics allowed him to attack with the ball 5 times in a row.

In these 5 offenses, he chose to shoot.

Then, only one goal was scored.

The other four goals were all firmly defended.

"I think a lot of people misunderstand Billy," Doug Collins said. "He's neither a tragedian nor a Larry Legend. He's just himself, and he has his own style of play. We shouldn't set too many templates for him, because it will prevent him from being the best of himself."

Bob Costas said that listening to what you have to say is like listening to what you have to say.

It's like saying nothing.

Owens' inefficient offense allowed the Celtics to start with a score of 14 to 6 by the Knicks.

Chris Ford requested a timeout.

The Celtics replaced Owens, who was underperforming, with another rookie, Rick Fox.

A rare acquaintance, and also one of the people Louis wanted to choose at first, if it weren't for the Knicks' too many wing talents, he must have put on a Knicks jersey.

Fox, who fans are most familiar with, must be the defensive champion during the OK Dynasty.In fact, he played the role of Ron Harper in the OK dynasty.As a swingman to cause trouble on the wing, but at the same time, his instigating ability as a guard is overshadowed by his defense.

Fox was also evaluated as having the shadow of a tragedy teacher before the draft.

This is the way of the times.

Just like in the future, when fans see a tall and thin long-range shooting king with a strong body, they will say that he is Durant. A big point forward with a bad shot and a strong body must be called Little James.

Louis decided to continue to fight the Celtics.

He made three up and down substitution adjustments.

Chris Jackson replaced Stockton, Reggie Williams replaced Wilson, and Shawn Kemp replaced Rodman.

"With CJ as the core." Louis said, "I'm going to see a lot of Exchange Ricky (high dynamic offense) from the outside."

Jackson's appearance stunned Ford on the opposite side.

He knew that Jackson was originally one of the legacy of Thomas' trade, but the Celtics executives traded him to the Knicks without even trying, so now their guard line can only be supported by Cheeks and John Bagley (John Bagley PG).

Is it really that bad?

If it's that bad, how is it possible for this guy to be in the rotation right after arriving in New York?
"John, that guy doesn't shoot very well, so if he wants to take a shot, you can let him take it, but keep contact."

Ford gave a normal order to Celtics backup point guard John Bagley.

Seeing that the Celtics' backup point guard was actually a guard of Bagley's level, Louis realized that Thomas' departure really changed a lot.

In the past, Thomas was supported in the starting position, and the substitute almost didn't matter.

Now that Thomas has slipped, the Celtics' bench has become unsightly.

From the perspective of the Celtics' substitutes, in the years when Louis left, their draft work was very bad, and they did not complete the replacement in time. The main players are still those few players, like John Lang.

Back in the game, the Celtics replaced Billy Owens, but kept another rookie on the field.

Doug Smith's performance is even more unsightly than Owens. Smith in college has good skills and can swing small forwards and power forwards.

But when he came to the NBA, he could only play power forward, and all the skills he showed in college were not good enough.

Sampson was flanked by multiple people, and the ball could only be passed outward.

Smith catches the ball high up, and Kemp is contemptuous of his shooting ability.

"boom!"

His ball is also worthy of Kemp's contempt.

Smith missed a shot and Kemp grabbed the rebound.

Louie whistled leisurely, and Owens played like a parallel importer was not enough for him to vent his anger. The real crit should be that Chris Jackson, who was sent to New York by the Celtics as a plague god, behaved like a god of war.

They could have had Cheeks and Chris Jackson in the rotation.

"Coach, you seem to like CJ?" McHale asked.

"Standing in my position, the more diversified our guard line is, the more flexible our tactics," Louis said, not wanting to talk about how advanced Jackson's style of play is.

That's pointless, at least not pointless touting Jackson until he's proven his game is advanced.

During the one-month preseason training camp, Jackson accepted Louie's novel training methods, gained 5 pounds, and made John Stockton feel threatened.

As long as Jackson plays the touch, he has a deadly shooting threat.

Stockton had been thrown by him in two confrontation games.

On the court at this time, the Celtics' defense against Jackson cannot be said to be tight.

Bagley did his best to bring him physical contact.

However, Ewing and Kemp's high-post double pick-and-roll blocked Bagley's defense.

Jackson dribbled the ball and suddenly got an open 45-degree angle on the left. In the eyes of the Celtics, he was still the inefficient shooter who averaged less than 40% of his shots per game.

Jackson collects the ball, releases the shot, and shoots in one go, with a standard single-action posture.

"Shh!"

17 is better than 6
The point difference changed from 8 points to 11 points.

"Chris Jackson was one of the chips the Celtics got in the Isiah Thomas trade, but instead of keeping the legendary LSU guard for themselves, it's strange that they sent him to New York for multiple draft picks."

"CJ did not perform well in his rookie season. Charlotte believes that he will never be able to replicate his college performance in the NBA. However, Boston should give him more patience, because CJ is the player they need most at this stage."

On the court, Green Kay's coach Ford was not surprised by Jackson's performance.

"Any player can make that goal. Don't change our strategy because of this, continue to put pressure on him, let him shoot, shoot whatever he wants!"

Sampson received the ball in the low post and was immediately double-teamed.

He had no room to attack at all. Louis took advantage of the fact that the Celtics had no outside threat, and ordered the players on the field, as long as Sampson got the ball, don't worry about other things, just shrink.

Doug Smith, Bagley, Fox, Kevin Gamble SG/SF, these guys, who can shoot long?

It can be said bluntly that there is none.

It is unrealistic for the Celtics to expect Sampson to play more than one dozen. The Knicks' double-teaming, from the moment he catches the ball, does not give him a chance to put the ball on the ground and attack with the ball. Everyone adopts a close-up approach.

With this kind of defense, not to mention dribbling, it is impossible to move the ball from his arms.

Fox smartly cuts in.

Sampson lobbed a pass to help his teammates score.

The Celtics finished their offense this way.

Looks great, but Fox won't find an inside cut every possession.

Louis saw that the angle of Fox's inward cut was exactly the dead corner of defense exposed by them to pinch Sampson, so he greeted Ewing.

"Once someone pinches Ralph for you, your defense can relax a little bit, and you must always pay attention to the air cutters running from the center."

Louie told Ewing how to prevent being air cut and stealing the back door.

The Knicks' offense revolves entirely around Jackson.

The Celtics have the experience of being shot by him last time, and their defense against him has become tougher.

Since ancient times, players with strong defensive shooting ability have emphasized physical confrontation and used hand-to-hand combat to resolve his touch.

Because these players who shoot well often can't break through, and they can shoot well and break through, but they often have poor finishing ability.So as long as there is enough defensive pressure, even if they are allowed to rush in, it will be difficult to score.

Jackson gave the ball to Ewing.

Louie took great care in the design of his off-ball running route, designing off-ball tactics for him completely based on Curry's standards.

I saw that Jackson first ran to the right, stopped suddenly, turned back and ran back. Bagley's off-ball defense was considered excellent, and he was not shaken away. But this time, he found the two insiders of the Knicks, Ewing and Kemp, one left and one right, just like the next scene in a horror movie. wall.

"what is this?!!!"

Doug Collins called out.

As Bagley was knocked to the ground by the tightly closed elevator doors, Jackson got an open shot and the ball got to him.

Fox's help defense was too late to make up, and Jackson's shot speed was beyond their cognition.

"Shh!"

"One more goal!"

"CJ hit consecutive three-pointers, but his expression was indifferent, as if telling the Celtics that trading him to the Knicks was a bad decision in the Reed Auerbach era!"

Bob Costas pumped up the game and his partner, Doug Collins, was still amazed by the elevator door play.
