Chapter 1,175 Believe that Rodman can create miracles

"Uncle Cliff, what happened? Why can't you even guard our rookie?"

When Clifford Robinson was escaped from the screen by Michael Finley repeatedly and caught the ball and scored a jumper, Benj's trash talk came unexpectedly.

Robinson was furious, but what could he do?

The reason why Finley was dealt with like this was not because of his poor defense, but because the Lakers' off-ball cooperation was too tight.

As for Wilson calling him uncle, it's a completely weird way of saying it.

Clifford, like other older-looking players, has an age-old face.

Anyone who has a 40-year-old face when they first debut will be called uncle.

This is to bully Clifford because there are few fans, otherwise, someone who looks domineering, has an imperial air, etc. will be embarrassed to kneel down to the center of the earth.

It's not that Clifford doesn't want to be called uncle, but he doesn't want to be called uncle by someone whose status in the world is clearly above him.

Because Wilson always looks domineering.

This made him lose the joy of being an uncle.

In the first quarter, the two sides were a bit testing each other. In the second quarter, Laili showed his determination to win.

He not only shortened the rotation, but also let Jordan and Damn take turns holding the ball and attacking. With the strength of these two people, if they let go, the Lakers' second lineup will certainly not be able to withstand it.

Louis had no choice but to replace Wilson in advance, replace Liu Yuqing who was locked up by Jordan, and let Ellis and Finley partner with Benj.

"Leader? Lu once again changed to a lineup without a point guard."

"Benjamin plays the one position more frequently in Los Angeles than in New York."

"Is this a shortage in the lineup, or is it a new attempt by Leader Lu? Does he want to turn Benj into a real point forward?"

What does Louis imagine the complete Benj to look like?

Even if someone asked Louis this question face to face, he would not be able to give an accurate answer.

Because this is indeed a difficulty standing in front of Benj.

The current Benj is half like Tracy McGrady and the other half like Durant.

But he is not an unsolvable individual like Jordan, because his organizational skills and golf intelligence have not yet been fully unlocked.

Apart from his golf quotient, his potential in other areas has been almost tapped.

Only by fully unlocking his golf intelligence and combining it with his personal skills can we fully see where a person's ceiling is.

Louis doesn't know where Benj's ceiling is.

This is also the meaning of "beautiful basketball".

Louis believes that smart players can find their full meaning as players in this system.

This will also be an unshakable monument left in his coaching career, and Benj will reach the pinnacle of his career in the process.

"Beautiful Basketball" had a great influence on Benj.

Without this new system, he might have averaged an astonishing number of points per game this season and won the scoring title.

Now, his scoring average is still so high that the person who ranks second in scoring average has no idea about being first, but his integration and adaptation to the new system actually make people feel that he still has room for improvement, even if his scoring average is The average score remained stable at 35 points.

After Louis replaced Ellis and Finley, Wilson actively helped them play.

Especially Finlay.

This taciturn and honest man is like a moderate version of Liu Yuqing.

She also doesn't talk much, but Liu Yuqing makes someone feel uncomfortable every time she opens her mouth.

Not so with Finley.

He is the kind of player who works quietly, doesn't make things difficult for anyone, and is a completely inconspicuous player in a Lakers team full of weirdos.

Today, he feels good.

Laili used Jordan, (Tyrone) Corbin, Chapman, Clifford, and Olajuwon as the lineup to break the game in the second quarter.

Clifford often has to sweep the perimeter.

Finley, who received various assists from Wilson, naturally became the target of his focus.

As a result, Finley showed that he was very adaptable to Clifford's intense sweep delay.

Because he basically doesn't dribble and relies entirely on movement and teammates' screens to get shooting opportunities.

As long as he gets a chance to shoot, it's up to him whether he hits or not.

Although Finley is a player in the middle to late first round, his physical fitness is not inferior to that of lottery picks whose physical fitness is their selling point.

His draft price is so low, it has something to do with the school, his character, and his skills.

The school is not good and the scouts don't pay attention to it.

He has an unassuming personality and does not suit the tastes of those scouts who have long observed arrogant young talents with overt personalities and who regard the sky as the limit.

A swingman who prefers the second position can hardly dribble under strong defense. How can anyone be optimistic about his career prospects?

The scouts were basically right about Finley, but they overlooked an important issue.

When the long board is long enough for people to ignore its shortcomings, the prospects based on the shortcomings are not so reliable.

This is why many scouts often make outrageous predictions.

They take the shortcomings too seriously, leading to a misestimation of the players' talents.

This is the origin of the lottery’s remaining pearls.

Parallel imports of lotto are caused by completely opposite reasons.

Finlay embarrassed Clifford tonight.

He took all the open three-pointers.

The Blazers didn't dare give him another open spot.

He made every catch-and-shoot shot he got open after coming off a screen.

In addition, he also used dribbling, which he was not good at, to deflect Clifford's block with a fake shot. He dribbled with his right hand and accelerated into the paint to score a dunk over Olajuwon's head.

That's why Wilson spouted that trash talk.

Laili was furious. It would be fine if he was called out by Wilson like he did in the 1993 Finals.

Wilson has that ability.

But Michael Finley? Are you kidding me?

"Clifford, get out of here!"

Lai Li, who had lost his mind, was ruthless even to his close friends and generals.

Clifford smashed the towel off his hand in frustration.

Louis watched from a distance, and he noticed a look of ridicule on Rodman's face.

That probably means... Where are you now? Have you ever seen how Coach Lu curses?

In anger, Laili replaced Clifford, but Portland still needs someone to protect the big dream at the fourth position.

Biquge

Rodman, who just wanted to watch a joke, was called up from the bench by Laili.

Not surprisingly, Rodman replaced Clifford.

The Blazers' roster flaws are slowly showing.

Although they are first in the league on paper, their lineup fit is not at the same level as other teams competing for the championship.

Mourning and Dameng do not have the effect of 1+1>2.

Clifford, Dameng and Mourning did not create any sparks.

Although Jordan had a record of taming Rodman in Louis' previous life, that Jordan was the best player in the world who swept the Pistons in 1991, ended the Bad Boys, and then won three consecutive championships, not the current one who faced five in the Finals.

The shock wave of the world's number one losing streak.

Now look at the Trail Blazers, are they still invincible?

Invincible on paper but seemingly incompatible.

Aiming to win the championship but no one gives in.

Everyone is very tough to maintain the character of the stars. This is a team where no one is willing to make sacrifices.

Oh no, it’s not like there are no people, Yinsaiah Thomas is very dedicated, but with his current strength, even if he wants to sacrifice, not many people will appreciate him.

Louis seemed to have seen the end of the pioneers.

At this time, after Rodman came on the court, he first defended Wilson's roll call, and then continued to hit offensive rebounds in the frontcourt, assisting Jordan to hit a three-pointer.

Putting aside the facts, if this guy plays seriously and concentrates on his job as a substitute, the Trail Blazers will still be a team that is difficult to defeat...

But two minutes later, Rodman was dissatisfied with the referee's decision, lost control of his emotions, and bumped away from the referee.

Louis didn't know for a moment whether Rodman came to help or to repay him...

There is a saying that goes well, when a powerful group begins to go downhill irreversibly, a hero needs to step forward and step on the accelerator hard on the way downhill.

Rodman stood up in this situation and was ejected by the referee in a manner unacceptable to the Trail Blazers. He was also suspected of attacking the referee and will be suspended for more than 10 games.

Congratulations to the Trail Blazers.

As long as Rodman is in Portland, Louis will continue to believe that this team cannot win the championship.

Even if you don't believe in the Trail Blazers, you still have to believe in Rodman. He is the idol of New Yorkers, the dynasty of the Knicks, the good brother of Benjamin the Conqueror, and the little brother of Louis. He can create miracles.

"I fucking told you about this soft competition of yours. Whoever wants to fight in this rubbish competition, I won't keep you company!"

Rodman seemed to be the one who was offended. He tore the jersey he was wearing on the spot, threw it to the mindless spectators in the front row, and left the game under the horrified eyes of his teammates and coaching staff.
