the rest, only noise

Chapter 805 The Source of Chaos
Louie replaced Kevin McHale first.

At this stage, McHale is no longer able to adapt to PK with an opponent like Barkley.

It stands to reason that his level should not have dropped so quickly.

Louis remembered that McHale was also very good at playing in the late Celtics, because no one in the Celtics could stand up to him, so the old Big Three had to find ways to maintain their competitiveness.

With the Knicks, it's a different story.

McHale won four championships with the team and was still the captain of the team. In the 1986-87 season, he took the lead and won the MVP. Afterwards, due to injuries and years of vegetarianism, his state began to decline.

However, his decline accelerated after Rodman showed succession status.

Now not only Rodman has successfully succeeded, but even Rodman has a successor (Kemp). McHale loses motivation and will naturally let himself go.

"I believe you all can see it." Louie held the tactical board, "The Blazers are very strong. Their defense is similar to ours, but more extreme. They advocate switching defenses because they have many good players on the flanks. Playing against them is actually a game between the speed of people and the ball. From a common sense, people's speed is not as fast as the ball transfer, but in practice, you will find that if the enthusiasm and defensive discipline are good enough, the distance that can be filled will be far beyond imagination."

Louie also replaced Reggie Miller, who obviously didn't adapt to the defensive intensity brought by the Blazers.

Miller was replaced by Reggie Williams.

"Even if Portland's defensive strength is high and the rotation is fast, as long as our offense is patient enough, we can achieve results." Louie started from the top of the arc, "John, from the next round, initiate a '2 High' (double inside high post) strategy at the top of the arc and give the ball to Patrick. As for Patrick, if you think you have a chance to shoot, take a bold shot. , While Patrick is coordinating, you have to screen for John, and then screen for the teammate on the other side of the corner, and finally selectively pull away or cut."

"Remember, one-stage offense is not enough to break Portland's defense, we need three-stage intensive offense."

Few teams are so valued by Louie.

Under Riley's leadership, the Blazers have grown too fast.

Pause ends
The current score is 15 to 7, with the Knicks trailing by 8 points.

Stockton faced Jerome Cosey, and as Louie arranged, let Ewing and Kemp come up to play "2 High". This is an important part of the N.UCLA system.

Ewing took the ball in a high position, and Barkley caught up.

This is also the detail of the Blazers' defense. They will not let Nance leave the penalty area easily.

At the same time, this is also a loophole that the pioneers will inevitably have.

Barkley's defense was not trustworthy. Ewing didn't choose to wait for his teammates from the bottom corner to get the ball.

This is what Louie calls a one-stage offense.

Tactical arrangements are dead, people are alive, if there is a chance, let alone a one-stage attack, even if it is a zero-stage attack, as long as it can score, it is a good attack.

Ewing rushed into the paint and Nance came to help defend, but he couldn't interfere with his drifting bunny jumping for half a layup.

9 is better than 15
"Although I knew how that guy would attack with my eyes closed, he just scored!" Louis said without principle, "What's wrong with the formulaic attack? I like Patrick's formulaic attack!"

The Blazers' offense is much simpler and cruder.

Under Riley's command, Jordan was regarded as a big ball-holding core like a tragic master. This is also the foundation laid for the trapeze in the Adelman/Pitino era.

Facing Reggie Williams' defense, Jordan made a strong move and passed.

Kemp's defense made Jordan stop the ball, and he found Nance.

But Nance was guarded by Ewing, and Barkley went to the high position.Nance wanted to attack Ewing by force, but was beaten by the gorilla.

The ball flew to the perimeter, and Xavier McDaniel tried to grab the ball, but was slammed away by Wilson, who grabbed the out-of-control ball with one hand.McDaniel, who was knocked down, was furious and stepped forward to give Wilson a heavy blow.

"Beep!!"

The conflict between the two sides was suddenly detonated.

McDaniel yells like a bully: "I can fucking knock the shit out of you in a minute!"

Fortunately, there are referees.

"Is this still Pat Riley's team? No Show Time at all."

If it wasn't for Tomjanovich, Louis wouldn't even know that Show Time was originally an adjective.

"I remember that Mr. X was slapped by Oak?" Zhao Yuanzheng recalled the past.

That was all five or six years ago.

When the fledgling McDaniel played against the Knicks for the first time, he made rude remarks to Louie, and then Oakley slapped him down after he came on the court.There was also a more famous incident in that game, Ewing's Artest explosive "unconscious" elbow on Jordan.

Louis approached the sidelines and blew a whistle: "Let Mr. X pay some price!"

His voice was so loud that not only the Blazers players, but also many spectators in the front row heard it.They protested dissatisfied, but how much confidence do they have?What kind of bastard McDaniel was, they knew it in their hearts.

Wilson swam up from the corner, and McDaniel tried to follow, but the Knicks kept blocking him with screens along the way.

First, Ewing's empty-handed cover caught him.

It was followed by Kemp's back screen plus a small move, causing McDaniel to fall to the ground.

Wilson took the ball from the free throw line, and Jerome Cosey, who turned the flywheel in a fake action, took the ball and killed the basket.

Barkley rushed out to confront Wilson in the air and was called a foul. Even if he successfully knocked the latter over, it had no effect on the result.

Wilson's right hand tossed the ball high, bang!
"Chuck, let me tell you a secret, Benj doesn't belong to Newton." Louie joked, "Gravity doesn't work on him!"

Barkley was about to retort when, on the other side of the line, McDaniel made a move on Kemp.

The reason is simple. After Kemp put McDaniel down, the X-Men flew into a rage, "Try to touch me again?"

Kemp responded sarcastically: "You can't even accept this kind of collision and you pretend to be tough all day long? You laugh so hard."

The so-called those who are close to the vermilion are red and those who are close to the ink are black. Kemp is no longer the high school student who first joined the league two years ago and was timid and friendly to everyone.

No, Louis even suspected that he went to Georgetown University to train with Ewing for two consecutive offseasons, which caused him to be assimilated by that school.

Not long ago, Georgetown announced the admission of Sean Kemp.While he never played a game for the school, he was already a Georgetown guy.

Louie didn't know what that bastard John Thompson had done to Kemp, but it was true that Kemp was getting meaner.

McDaniel threw a punch at Kemp, who was prepared.Instead of hitting back, he grabbed McDaniel's hand and knocked him down again.

The scene is chaotic.

McDaniel is a double-edged sword. As a wing player, he has a balanced offense and defense. Apart from not having a basket, he can do many things on the court, including intimidating opponents.Riley believes that if the Blazers want to become a more extreme team than the Knicks, they need to have someone like McDaniel.

But a player like McDaniel has both advantages and disadvantages.

Let’s not talk about the advantages, the disadvantages are just like now, provoking opponents but not taking advantage and changing the atmosphere on the court.

Especially when he was brought down by Kemp for the second time, his teammates didn't know whether to help or persuade them to fight. If he helped, the referee would punish them and they couldn't bear to walk around. If he persuaded him to fight, McDaniel had already suffered a big loss.

Compared with them, the Knicks have more experience.

Almost all of them push their opponents in the name of breaking up a fight.

The conflict between the two sides lasted several minutes.

The referee, Hugh Hollins, found that he couldn't persuade him, and quickly called Louie and Riley to come over to make things right.

Louis came over and shouted, "Are you here to play people or play ball?"

Everyone stopped immediately and all returned to his side.

Instead, it was Riley who couldn't stop McDaniel, who was already in a panic, and it was Jordan who forcibly hugged the irrational X-Men in the end.

"Pat, you have to keep the rope that holds the mad dog firmly in your hands." Louis said heartily, "Letting it bite people outside will cause trouble."

McDaniel roared: "Who the hell are you calling a mad dog!"

"Take a mirror and look at yourself, you are not a mad dog, who is?" Kemp sarcastically said.

"What did you say?!!"

Hollins blew his whistle, "I'll be rude if you don't shut up!"

"Although the statement does not blame the public, I hope you can severely punish those who caused trouble." Louis said loudly, "Whoever messes up the game will be responsible."

Riley quickly said: "Will only one party make trouble like this? If there is a penalty, both sides will be punished together."

The two sides disputed, and Hollins finally gave the penalty.

McDaniel was expelled for two technical fouls, Kemp for a common foul, and Ewing for a technical foul—because he wanted to take advantage of the chaotic scene just now, but accidentally elbowed Jerome Cosey in front of the referee.
