the rest, only noise

Chapter 831 The Wrath of the Flying Man

"Or, is your face itchy again?"

Louie's words silenced Xavier McDaniel.

During McDaniel's rookie season, he was slapped in the mouth by Oakley after he made a nasty comment about Louie.

While Oakley is gone, the Knicks have become a more dangerous team.

McDaniel didn't want to test how willing Knicks players were to come out and punch someone for Louie.

Jordan's defense remains a problem.

Vernon Maxwell obviously couldn't keep up with the defensive strength, and Louis could only let Rodman defend Jordan.

If Rodman guards Jordan, Maxwell has to guard McDaniel.

Although McDaniel is not a scorer of Jordan's level, he can still average 20+ per game in a weak team.

At this time, Louis only had his eyes on how to defend Jordan.

He gave orders to both Kemp and Ewing.

You can ignore McDaniel's "little guy", but Jordan has to hold it down.

On the Knicks offense, Chris Jackson glanced at Louie.

Louis indicated that he should cooperate more with the inside line.

The Blazers have studied Jackson's style of play and will not give him easy shots.Therefore, the way to break the game is to cooperate with the inside line.

Only by letting the Knicks open first can the Blazers' defense become loose and Jackson's shooting can be effective.

Jackson followed Louie's instructions and launched one of the Knicks' classic tactics-2 High FOREHEAD (double high inside cut lob).

2 High This tactic has dozens of derivative tactics. What Jackson is calling at the moment is a tactic that most of the Knicks' insiders can execute.

The main mode of operation is that the inside high position double screens, one pulls open, and one cuts in. Under normal circumstances, the person in charge of cutting will get an alley-oop opportunity.

If the opponent shrinks in place, it's the catch-and-shoot from that stretched inside lane.

Kemp not only has high-quality pick-and-rolls, but also gives Jackson the urge to collect the ball and pull it up.

Moreover, after blocking a person, the aggressiveness of waiting for the defender's body to lose balance and turn around and rush to the basket is also rare.

He gave people a can-do attitude.

Nance stared at Kemp rushing towards him, and remembered how he was detained just now, so he wanted to stop the rain man head-on.

Jackson threw the ball comfortably into the air.

Kemp's momentum is unstoppable. Whether Nance admits it or not, this is the advantage of young people. His athletic ability is completely different from Kemp's.

"Patrick!"

When Ewing returned to the defense, Louis called him, indicating to do some tricks.

The routine is naturally aimed at Jordan.

Louis gave an order, and the Knicks' pocket formation changed accordingly. There were only three defensive formations in the center, one in front, and Ewing and Kemp standing on the left and right wings.

This is a variant of the pocket array, the triangular array.

The concept of not standing under the basket is something that many current coaches do not have.

Because there is no defense for three seconds in the contemporary era, in theory, the center can stand under the basket for 24 seconds and wait for the opponent to send a cap.But Louis personally doesn't value the advantage of standing on the basket indefinitely inside. In his eyes, this may not be an advantage, but a disadvantage in a specific situation that will make the defensive arrangement rigid.

For a mobile center like Ewing, if he is allowed to squat inside, his mobility will be wasted.

But to limit players like Jordan, the inside line must follow suit.

Jordan's previous waves of personal offenses, in addition to three-pointers, also had layups and emergency stop jumpers that broke through to the sweet spot.

But it was Maxwell who guarded him before, and now it's Rodman.

Rodman lowered the center of gravity, and the defensive center of gravity shifted with Jordan's movements.

Even Jordan was unwilling to forcefully challenge Rodman and stepped forward with a pick-and-roll.

The moment Jordan passed the pick-and-roll, Ewing entangled him like a wild animal thrown from the forest.

The next second, Rodman got close.

The DPOY winner + the double-teaming of the teammate of the first defense made Jordan make a pass error.

The triangular formation is a variant of the 2-3 zone defense, because the zone defense is still a legally prohibited defense in the NBA, so in order to achieve a similar effect, you need to think about the position, and at the same time, the players must have enough talent for a wide range of position rotation.

The defense composed of Ewing + Kemp + Rodman is the most indestructible in the league.

Jordan tried to use the help of his teammates, but Ewing could not only expand his defense outward, but also go back to protect the basket.

If he can't go back, Kemp's ability to protect the rim is enough to protect the Knicks' penalty area.

Sometimes, Ewing does not need to save, this task can be completed by Kemp.

Rodman played the diversity of DPOY. He can mark Jordan on the outside, sweep everywhere in the high post, and defend Nance's back play in the low post.

As long as he comes to the defensive end, he can be seen everywhere on the Knicks' position.

This unique defense made the Blazers who had no physical confrontation helpless.

Louie couldn't rest easy.

Because Jordan hasn't given out his full strength yet.

When Jordan's breakthrough point was given to his teammates, and the teammates were unable to bring effective results, Riley decided to change his style of play.

People are still those people, but Jordan's choice has changed.

Jordan screened for a mismatch and forced a Knicks switch.

The man in charge of guarding him is Chris Jackson, a guard with few achievements on the defensive end.

Jordan broke through his defense like a dog trying to solve a cow, and he did what he wanted with his hands and feet, and hit a jumper against Rodman's supplementary defense.

In the Blazers' defensive round, Ewing wanted to get the ball from the low post, but Jordan appeared like a phantom.By the time Ewing realized something was wrong, his ball had already come into Jordan's hands.

Rodman chased at full speed, and if he couldn't stop it, he would foul Jordan.His idea was good, but the result was bleak. Jordan's body was like a rocket spurting, he jumped up the flat basket, let Rodman's hand hit him, and the dunk was still staged as scheduled.

Wilson watched Jordan walking away, got up and asked Louis for instructions: "Coach, let me go."

At this time, Jordan's momentum was in full swing, and Louis didn't want Wilson to challenge the opponent's edge.But now, Wilson took the initiative to ask for orders. If he refused, it would hurt his morale.

Instead of letting him be angry off the court, it is better to experience the strength of the league's number one guard on the court.

Jordan added a penalty, and Louie replaced Jackson with Wilson.

In the few minutes of the second quarter, Jackson scored 0, but sent out 3 assists, which is not bad, but he didn't play well.

Louie believes he will adapt to the intensity of the Blazers' offense sooner or later.

The Blazers' wing group looked strong, but except for Jordan, none of them could enter the defensive formation. They had nothing but talent and lacked skills.

The Knicks' wing depth is not as deep as that of the Blazers, but fortunately, the players are fully functional.

Ewing's advantage in the interior is also obvious.

Jordan was able to steal his ball last round. In this round, he directly raised his ball high, crushed Nance, and forced his way to the basket to score.

In recent seasons, Ewing's offensive role has increased.

This is also Louis's preparation in advance when he foresees the rise of the Blazers.

The Blazers are weak inside, and in the long run, they will still be weak. Therefore, letting Ewing get used to attacking with the ball will help the Knicks take advantage of the inside.

Wilson came up against Jordan on the first possession.

Marv Albert yells: "Benj VS MJ! One on One!"

Louis held his breath. He could see that Wilson's defense was weak, from anticipating the offense to putting pressure on Jordan's ball, he had done enough.

Jordan entangled with it for a few seconds, and finally found a flaw and broke through quickly.

Compared with Wilson, Jordan's speed is faster, and the first step of the burst, the starting speed is more powerful than the league's first, leading by more than half in an instant.

As one of the Knicks' three first-defense members, Wilson's reaction speed was fast enough. Although Jordan was one step ahead, he was immediately posted.

Wilson's timely response created an opportunity for Rodman's rotation.

Pat Riley was dumbfounded.

The Knicks' defense has long since changed from the roughness of brute force that killed the Celtics in 1988 to a high-end style that focuses on technology, supplemented by cooperation, and second by confrontation.

To put it bluntly, they have bothered to turn the game into a wrestling fight.

Because they have three first defenses, two second defenses, and a bunch of defenders who are proficient in defense.

They also have a coach who is good at scheduling and directing.

Jordan was stuck by Wilson, and Rodman's double-team blocked most of the passing vision.

Jordan was afraid of making mistakes and reluctantly shot.

Ewing grabbed the rebound, and Wilson was already going down.

This is the best reward for players who defend seriously-Ewing sends long passes.

Even if Jordan returned to defense quickly enough, Wilson's counterattack was unstoppable.

I saw Wilson swung his elbow away from Jordan, which was a trick he had learned from fighting Bird over the years, and then lightly flicked the ball, and the basketball rolled into the basket.

Jordan clutched his stomach, showing embarrassment.

"That's all you can do?" Jordan said dissatisfied.

"Hmm." Wilson squinted at Jordan without backing down, "I can only help my team win four championships at most, and by the way, kick back and forth three asses of the Lakers that have troubled you for many years."

Louie was on the sidelines while Wilson spat out the trash talk.

He clearly saw Jordan's pupils constricted, and the murderous aura burst out instantly, as if it could fill the entire arena.

The trapeze is already furious!
"Dennis!" Louie yelled.

Rodman looked over and saw Louis pointing at Jordan with one hand, and stretching out two fingers together with the other hand, as a pincer attack.

"learn!"

Rodman responded loudly.
