Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 82 Looking forward to the 99 draft!

July 6, night.

Bright lights.

At this time, the tactical conference room of the Great Western Arena is watching the live broadcast of the Eastern Conference Finals G6.

All the Lakers players, coaching staff, and uniforms watched the game on the TV screen carefully.

The two sides of the battle, Knicks VS Pacers.

The current score is 3 to 2. The Knicks have won the Eastern Conference Finals and have home court advantage.

The opponent of the Lakers in the Finals is very likely to be the Knicks team that created the miracle of the Black Eight.

On the screen, before the first quarter of the game was over, Li Mu started to feel sleepy and yawned several times.

In other words, that bastard Van Gundy might want to bore his opponent to death and win the game.

Not possible.

It simply must be.

The offensive rhythm is slow, grinding the opponent a little bit, driving the opponent crazy, the attack time is less than the last 5 seconds, and will never try to make a shot.

There is one thing to say, the Pacers are already considered an old team, and it is understandable to play slowly. The Knicks coached by Van Gundy are slower than the current Pacers, and there is no aesthetic feeling to watch.

On the court, the Knicks also have flash points.

I saw Alan Houston and Larry Johnson, after a side screen, catch the ball at the free throw line, and made a mid-range jumper, and they never missed a shot.

Worthy of being the 'CIC King'!
Really accurate.

17 is better than 14!

After the first quarter, the Pacers had 17 points and the Knicks had 14 points.

There is one thing to say, Alan Houston is really accurate, after a wave of offense, the Knicks didn't score much.

Don't ask, just ask Van Gundy's coaching style.

Tactics, never thinking about how to attack and create scoring opportunities, but thinking about defense, there is one detail that is not good enough.

With this tactical thinking, it is simply a dream to make the Knicks' offense better.

In addition, Van Gundy's offensive tactic is to hand the ball to the star to attack, while others patronize to watch the fun.

This excitement refers to standing and watching the stars one-on-one, and then, receiving a pass, throwing the basketball to the basket hastily.

It doesn't matter whether you score or not, the key is not to be counterattacked by your opponent.

Even when attacking, he also thinks about defense. It can only be said that Van Gundy's defense is too strong. As for offense?

what is that?
When it comes to star singles, in addition to the outside line Alan Houston, the Knicks also have the outside madman Sprewell.

The offensive tactics are the same as the Rockets in the Yao Mai era. Alan Houston finished playing and replaced Sprewell.

What about Gorilla Ewing, King of New York?

hurt.

In the second game of the Eastern Conference Finals, before the first half was over, Ewing injured his knee and was reimbursed for the season.

Then, the underdogs must win. Inspired by the "Ewing Effect", the Knicks found the key to winning and played a golden double-gun offensive pattern from the outside.

In the second quarter, Camby replaced Larry Johnson in the second place of the 96 Golden Generation.

Next, the Knicks went on the offensive, bursting out.

Camby became a surprise player on the court, making consecutive mid-range shots and hitting the basket to get free throws.

With the containment of the inside line, Houston and Sprewell, the golden guns broke out at the same time.

Houston's CIC is still accurate.

The madman Sprewell hit the target and began to score points for the Knicks.

The key is to have the inside and the outside, the way of attacking the basket, and the Pacers' ability to protect the basket, except for fouls, they can't stop it at all.

As a result, the Knicks got a lot of free throw opportunities.

In the end, the Knicks made 33 free throws and made 27 of them. The Pacers only got a poor 9 free throws.

尼克斯黄金双枪，休斯顿17投12中，罚球10中8，轰下32分2篮板2助攻。

斯普雷威尔19投7中，罚球6中6，砍下20分5篮板3助攻。

奇才坎比出战37分钟，6投4中，罚球11中7，贡献15分9篮板3盖帽2抢断。

82 to 90! !
The Knicks scored 4 to 2 after a black game, eliminated the Pacers and advanced to the NBA Finals.

Five days later, on June 6, the NBA Finals of the 16-98 season began.

"Knicks, it is definitely the last opponent of our Lakers."

After the game, general manager West suddenly asked, "Li, what do you think of the Knicks opponent?
Do you have the confidence to take down your opponent? "

Li Mu rolled his eyes, smiled lightly and said, "If I'm not mistaken.

The Knicks are not just Ewing, who can't play because of injuries, and Larry Johnson seems to be playing games intermittently because of back injuries, right? "

"They still have Houston and Sprewell!" West asked.

He doesn't want the Lakers to underestimate the enemy.

After all, the Knicks are so awesome and created a black eight miracle.

Although the gorilla was sacrificed in the end, the Knicks' golden double guns were forced out, didn't they?
"Then ask Shaq and Big Ben if they are confident?
The Knicks now have three insiders, one is 34-year-old Dudley, one is only 100 kg Camby, and the other is 41-year-old Herb Williams. Can they clean up the Knicks' insiders?
If not, I really don't have the confidence to win this Knicks team. " Li Mu smiled and spread his hands, his face full of helplessness.

At this moment, West understood the helplessness of Li Mu's smile.

None of the opponent's insiders can play.

He was invincible to lonely.

"No need for Big Ben, the Knicks' three rookie insiders, just leave them all to me!

Even if Ewing was still there, cleaning them up would be a piece of cake.

Now the gorilla can't fight, and the aunt is injured.

I have won this championship! ! O'Neill said in a buzzing voice with confidence on his face.

For the first championship in his career, he is very concerned and confident.

Li Mu nodded, indeed.

The Knicks really don't play through O'Neal inside.

Moreover, although Big Ben had a bad time in the West, he was picked up by Garnett, Barkley and Duncan in the playoffs one after another, and he was blown up.

It's just that Ben Wallace was blown up, not because he lacks strength... It's not because our combat power is too weak, but because the opponent is too strong.

That was Garnett, Barkley and Duncan, and they deserved to lose.

If you didn't lose, you didn't meet.

In Li Mu's previous life, Daben became well-known in the East, and he could be called a superstar who dominates the inside line.

In the Western theater, he is nothing.

With O'Neal and Daben in Li Mu's hands, the Knicks want to hit the basket, and they are looking for death.

Coupled with the Knicks' poor three-point ability, the only attackable offense can only be mid-range shots.

However, the Lakers' perimeter defensive strength is also one of the best in the league.

In other words, what Li Mu thinks now is not how to win, but how to lose in the finals!
In a word...

No, no, no, I can't do this question.

too difficult.

"Shaq is so confident, then I'm not going to get on Brad Miller.

The next tactical discussion, I think it can be saved, let the players and the uniform team go home and rest!
The Lakers are the stronger side, and our tactics are dominated by me.

As for the opponent of the Knicks, you only need to know the opponent's information.

It should be the Knicks who really need a strategy! "Li Mu paused, then suddenly changed the subject and said to West.

"Speaking of which, I am more looking forward to the draft work in the 99 NBA Draft than to attack the opponent of the Knicks."

"The 99 draft?"

West was taken aback, he didn't expect Li Mu to bring up this topic.

Is it too early?
"Indeed, it will be held soon, the rookie training for the Lakers has basically been completed.

Li, do you have a favorite rookie candidate? "West's tone was flat.

Li Mu waved his hand, bought a pass, and said, "There is no candidate.

Just wanted to give an opinion! "

"Opinion?"

"That's right!"

Next, Li Mu said generously, "What I want to mention is that the Lakers should look farther and wider, for example, learn from the previous Bulls and look at the rookies in the European League, maybe there will be more surprises!

The rookies in the United States, to be honest, with the Lakers' draft picks, they shouldn't be able to find amazing rookies! "

Former bull?
The two dynasties created by Jordan, what's the matter with the European League?

No.

wrong!

Really something!

luke longley.

Tony Cooke.

Two impressive players came into West's mind.

"Speaking of which, it seems like Toni Kukic only needed a second-round pick to be picked up by the Bulls.

The Lakers have only one 23rd pick and one second-round pick.

If you want to find good goods, you should definitely focus on the European League
No, the whole world! "
