the rest, only noise

Chapter 976 Coach Lu seems to be pleased with this

Later, Louis made another substitution.

Rodman replaced Stockton and Wilson took control.

And let Rodman lead Thomas on the defensive end. The purpose of doing this is not only to put pressure on Thomas, but also to sever the connection between him and the rest of the Blazers.

Jordan felt the difference in defensive intensity as soon as he entered the positional battle.

Jordan's Law works quietly.

The first is that when Jordan passed the screen, he found that Miller gave a lot more physical contact.

Before, Miller might have let him go just to put on airs, but now he actually took the initiative and wanted to have a good tussle with him.

Even if Miller is thrown away, the defense switch will come in the shortest possible time.

Either Wilson, Rodman, or Kemp.

This time it was Rodman, who left Thomas wide open and Jordan had to pass the ball.

Thomas made an open three-pointer and made a hit.

When Thomas made a three-pointer, Louie could see the inexplicable disgust on his face.

That look was Lorraine's morning sickness during pregnancy.

After Louis traveled, he influenced the playing style of many stars, and many of them had mastered a set of advanced techniques, but Thomas, a "ignorant" thing, seemed to dislike the views instilled by Louis.

The more Louie admired the tactical value of the three-point shot, the less he valued the technique.

If it wasn't for Riley's requirement that defenders must have a certain three-point threat, Thomas might not even bother to practice this top-of-the-arc three-pointer.

Now even if he has practiced a three-pointer at the top of the arc, he still hates three-pointers.

But whether he loathes the [-] or loathes Louie, that's the question.

Rodman looked at Louie, wondering what to do next.

Louis stretched out his right hand and pressed down, indicating that there was no need to change.

Even if Thomas threatened with a three-pointer, he couldn't kill them with a three-pointer.The purpose of shorting Thomas is to get Jordan. It doesn't matter whether Thomas gets in or not.

Louis' attitude is "you shoot me if you have the ability." Tonight, if Thomas, who has practiced a three-pointer at the top of the arc, makes a dead shot, Louis will admit it.

The Knicks' offense played casually.

Among the Blazers' starting players, Sabonis can protect the basket, Nance can sweep, and Jordan's flank defense is invincible.

It stands to reason that the defense of positional warfare should not be too bad.

But Kemp came up to pick and roll, opened, Wilson broke through, Nance took the lesser of two evils, and Thomas switched to Kemp.

Wilson returned a pass, and Kemp played big and small. He didn't pay attention to Thomas' defense, took a shot, and hit it steadily.

Miller's catch jumper, Wilson's mid-range shot, and Kemp's jumper against the man are all strategic layouts.

The real intention of the Knicks is the restricted area.

These shots will make the Blazers' defense outside, and when their defensive center of gravity shifts outside, it will be the time when Nixon will see the dagger.

Sabonis got the ball in the low post. When he first arrived in Portland, Riley let him play in the high post for a while.

But if you play like that, Sabonis will become the absolute core of the team, and the five-star team of the Blazers does not need him as the absolute core.

Therefore, Sabonis' coping ability cannot be fully utilized in the Blazers, he is more like an all-around core center.

Playing Ewing in the low post, feinting for seven points, seeing the opportunity, passing the ball like magic.

Nancy came in, and Kemp, who was sweeping around, couldn't recover.

It seems that the Blazers' offense is about to be completed.

But what was waiting for Nance ahead was not an empty basket, but Rodman's big cap chasing him from behind.

"Even if Isiah Thomas hits a [-], New York is still ignoring him defensively!"

Then, Kemp and Barkley collided for the floor.

The original Eastern hand-to-hand competition began to appear.

The ball ended up in Jordan's hands, and Wilson was guarding him.

Wilson's hands were not clean, and his feet were always on Jordan's thigh.

Jordan was furious, Shenshoulders pushed him away hard, Wilson could flop and make a foul, but he didn't want to be beaten in vain for making a foul.

He tugged at Jordan's body and fell down together.

The referee blows the whistle.

"You bloody New York dogs!" Jordan raged.

Although it was obviously an offensive foul by Jordan, the referee told Louis that Rodman had committed the foul. Before Jordan and Wilson clashed, Rodman elbowed Nance.

It was Hugh Hollins who made the decision.

A jerk referee who is so subjective that he doesn't listen to other people's opinions or watch videos.

Louie had no intention of reasoning with him at all. If Hollins decided that the conflict between Rodman and Nance happened in the front, then what happened between Jordan and Wilson would not matter.

"Then I can only thank you for MJ, he had an obvious flagrant foul." Louie taunted.

Hollins said righteously: "Little Lu, don't think your players have clean hands!"

"I never said that, I just want you to know that both of us are unclean, and it is obvious that they were unclean first, but since you have made such a sentence, I respect you, and I hope you will be more rigorous next time."

Louie and Hollins chatted, the players on both sides stood up, and the conflict was over.

"We don't want conflict, but we shouldn't be afraid of conflict, and if New Yorkers want to fight, I don't want to see anyone acting like a jerk!"

Riley growled loudly.

"Michael, don't forget how we lost last year, don't you want to fall twice in the same place?"

Riley's words mobilized Jordan's morale, but obviously, the former did not notice a subtle change in the latter's mentality.

For the Knicks, Louis replaced Ewing.

Because the pace of the game is accelerating now, defense and rebounding are not the most important.

Although Ewing can keep up with this rhythm, it will also waste a lot of energy. Instead of letting him run with everyone, it is better to come down and rest.

Louis directly let Rodman stand at the center position, Kemp's function remained the same, and the position vacated by Ewing was replaced by Mohamed Rauf.

Louie put his hand on Rauf's shoulder before he took the field and said: "You hear me say that to you every day."

Rauf guessed: "Being me?"

"Yes, but today I want to raise the bar on you," Louis said, "Be who you imagine yourself to be."

The combat power of the Blazers is clear at a glance, and their strength is beyond doubt.

For the Knicks, the fog of war still exists for the Blazers.

Because most of the Knicks' players have not yet reached the peak of their competitive state.

An epoch-making player like Rauf, he is a parallel importer under the hands of others, but he is a frightening weapon under the hands of Louis.

Has Kemp's evolution come to an end?

How much firepower did Miller play in the regular season?
All these questions will be answered in the finals.

After the conflict subsided, the game started again.

The Knicks adjusted the lineup, as did the Blazers.

Riley replaced Isiah Thomas with Alvin Robertson.

This rotation was set by the Blazers in the Western Conference semifinals, and it is still in use today.

The Blazers haven't lost a game since this rotation.

This rotation indicated that Robertson was removed from the Verdun defense.

From the general direction, it seems that the Blazers made a mistake in signing.

Because Robertson was acquired so that Jordan wouldn't have to be part of the Verdun defense all the time.

Robertson looked like the perfect No. [-] in Verdun's defense, balanced offensively and defensively, versatile and experienced.

However, it's like Jav can never shoot a field battle well, if it's not suitable, it's not suitable.

The Blazers lost a lot of games at the end of the regular season, which was also related to Robertson's dissatisfaction.

In the end, even Robertson himself understood that he was not suitable for the Verdun defense, so Riley logically removed him as a normal rotation.

The price was that Jordan had to be a regular on the Verdun defense.

The result is that the Blazers' combat power directly crushes the Western Conference teams.

"How is this guy doing?" Louis asked Robertson.

Thibodeau said: "During the Western Conference Finals, the state was excellent, but throughout the playoffs, it was not outstanding. He averaged only 5 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists per game, and his shooting percentage was 42%."

"What about the Western Conference finals alone?"

Big data is meaningless here, and recent performance is more convincing.

"He played a very high level in the Western Conference Finals, averaging 9 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists per game, shooting 47% from the field."

"What about the three-point shooting percentage?"

"So far in the playoffs, he has made 21 of 3 shots."

"pretty good."

This data makes people feel reassured about Robertson at a glance.

Louie's standard for all outside players is shooting percentage.

If the guy is shooting poorly, that's a strategic give-up point on the defensive end.

Louie highly advocates the rotation defense of demolishing the east and supplementing the west.

And this kind of shooting rate is very low, especially for players who are almost no threat outside the three-point line, it is like a piece of twice-cooked meat that has just been cooked, you must try it.

The Blazers' offense started and ended with Jordan.

Rauf, who was in charge of facing Robertson, gave up his defense casually, and quickly ran to Rodman's side to pinch Jordan together.

Jordan had to pass the ball under pressure from the defense beyond normal specifications.

Robertson, who was outside the three-point line on the right wing, received a pass from Jordan, but couldn't make the ball.

His three-point shooting is very decisive, but the only thing worthy of praise is decisiveness.

"boom!"

Wilson received the long rebound, and the Knicks played a defensive counterattack.

Rauf was effective as soon as he came on the field. The defensive end double-teamed at the perfect timing, and the offensive end followed up quickly, accurately executing Louie's tactical intentions.

Catch the ball in the fast break and give up the chance to go up to the basket, and make an emergency stop outside the top of the arc to shoot.

"OMG!!"

"Mar chose to shoot a three-pointer on a fast break without any Blazers in front of him!"

"Shh!!!"

"He threw in"

"Incredible guy!"

"Compared to his thinking, his game style is more unique and weird!"

Hubie Brown frowned and criticized: "That was a bad shot choice, not only because he gave up 100% of the fast break layups that could be hit, but also, he ignored his teammates who were on the fast break with him and chose to shoot himself. It was a selfish choice and a stupid choice."

However, commentator Bob Costas found: "Coach Road seems to be relieved by this?"
