The rest is just noise

Ben has many attractive qualities, among which his fire-like emotion during the game is his most eye-catching feature.

At the beginning of the game, his anger was not obvious, but as the game progressed, he became the most energetic person on the field.

However, today he faced an unbeatable opponent.

Starting from that blood-pressure-raising pull-up three-pointer, Jordan paid more attention to him on the defensive end, starting from guarding the ball and blocking Benj's offense without blind spots.

Even if he gets the ball, he will choose to play in singles.

Everyone enjoyed watching it at first, but as time went on, they found that he could hardly score under Jordan's defense. The Knicks' n.ula system fell apart, and the Trail Blazers established a 10-point lead in 4 minutes.

13 to 3

The unconventional lineup that Louis put together to test the Blazers' lineup strength was blown away.

The difference between Wilson and Jordan is the difference between this lineup and the Trail Blazers.

So he called a timeout in time and put an ice pack on Wilson's body: "Calm down, everyone!"

Louis chose to substitute.

Because Wilson was beaten by Jordan and McHale was not in that good shape at the beginning, Louis did not insist on hitting the opponent.

"Patrick's inside advantage is obvious, but we must first make achievements on the outside!"

Louis has always advocated using outside offense to create space for inside offense.

After the timeout ended, Louis walked up to Wilson again and asked: "How does it feel to be beaten?"

"If I had stayed on the court, the result might not have been the same."

"No matter how long you play, the result will not change. This is the gap between you and MJ now. You should face the gap." Louis also pointed out several problems with Wilson, "I like to see you and MJ compete.

, but when you find that you are not your opponent, shouldn't you hand the ball over and respond in a smarter way?"

Wilson responded silently to Louis' accusation.

He believed that confronting Jordan head-on was a smart response.

"Maybe you think you can play against MJ on equal terms, but I can tell you, you are still far away." Louis looked at the field, "The boundary between the individual and the team can sometimes be blurred, and sometimes it can be blurry.

Clearly, what matters is how you look at it. If you think giving up a one-on-one fight with MJ is a cowardly act, then you will never find the right direction."

Wilson has asked this question many times, and he may have to ask it again.

"What should I do?" Wilson asked.

"The answer is in the game, see for yourself."

After the Knicks changed their formation, the wings were significantly weaker than the Blazers, but Ewing had a clear advantage in the paint.

Nance, who was forced to play the five position, was at a huge disadvantage when facing Ewing.

Ewing actively screens and picks and rolls.

Stockton directed the offense, and the Knicks' offense began to recover.

Facing Dale Ellis, who was completely unable to hold the ball with Jordan, he used Ewing's screen to get rid of Jordan, received the ball at the top of the arc and blasted a three-pointer.

6 to 13

This is the most common high-post dynamic offense in Knicks games. Ellis relies on this tactic to average 16 points per game.

Next, Ewing's defense caused obvious problems for the Blazers.

Drexler faced off against Corbin, and he had an absolute advantage.

Corbin is a hard-working wing who defends very well, but he is much worse against Drexler.

The glider's frontal breakthrough was blocked by Ewing's defense, and he passed the ball to McDaniel on the weak side.

Like McDaniel and Drexler, if the Blazers put together this lineup, which of the two of them will be at the fourth position will all depend on the matchup.

At this time, he was in the fourth position, breaking through the baseline, using his speed to get rid of Oakley, and wanted to make a reverse dunk.

Ewing reacted and sent a big hat.

"I feel like that guy will definitely enter the first defense this year!" Louis sighed.

It's amazing, this restricted area controls the area.

Ewing has gained 13 pounds in the past two years. Louis deliberately controlled his weight gain speed, neither too fast nor too slow. His current physique can basically handle NBA-level interior confrontations. After his rookie season, Louis continued to have the habit of getting stuck day and night.

He has also developed a "reminder". He can change defensive positions and other things by himself, and Louis will also talk about some bad habits.

Therefore, in only his second season, his defensive power has already reached another level compared to his rookie self.

The Blazers' defense is very talented.

After all, their head coach Adelman is not a coach who likes to focus on defense. It just happens that he has a team that can't be bad at defense, so they look like a strong defensive team.

Ellis' running game caught the Blazers' attention.

Jordan is a very aggressive player when defending.

Coupled with McDaniel and Drexler, the Trail Blazers' defensive rotation can basically rank first in the league.

Ellis was able to use Ewing's screen to get rid of Jordan, but McDaniel's defensive switch was like a hyena biting the vital parts of its prey, which was really difficult to deal with.

As a result, Ewing started the Knicks' newly introduced tactic: 2 high day p.

This tactic originated from the University of Oregon and is called high-post tearing. In fact, it involves letting the inside line cover the pick-and-roll first, and if there is no chance, immediately move to the low post position.

When encountering a team with poor defensive discipline, there is a high probability of mismatches between big players and small players.

The Trail Blazers are a team with poor defensive discipline.

When Ewing came to the low post, the person guarding him was Drexler.

This tactic was originally set up for McHale. McHale can use it. If there is a matchup advantage, Ewing can naturally use it. And this tactic was originally set up to create a matchup advantage. Just because of McHale's low post pair

Regardless of whether it is misplaced or not, it can still score, so Louis introduced this tactic.

Ewing beat Drexler, the scene was brutal, the gorilla pushed the glider away with just a blow from the back, and exploded with force.

An angry dunk directly on top of Drexler's head.

8 to 13

Louis clapped his hands. Ewing, Stockton and Ellis were the Knicks' iron triangle last season. There is no need to say that they have a tacit understanding of offense. The newcomers Wilson and McHale must first find a way to integrate with them.

The Blazers' lineup advantage appeared in the next round.

Ewing scored in a misplaced shot, and Drexler made a long pass.

Porter in the frontcourt sent an alley-oop to Jordan.

15 to 8

Their counterattack was fierce, and the Knicks played positional warfare step by step.

Ellis was guarded by Jordan on the wing, and when he called for a screen, someone else switched defenses. An off-ball shooter like him who lacked defensive ability would not be easy to beat when encountering the Trail Blazers. Unless someone can use his own offensive threat to attract a flanker to create a

Hit more and less in local areas, otherwise, it will be really difficult to deal with your athletic ability being crushed.

This task depends on the insider tonight.

Louis whistled and asked Stockton to hit more balls to Ewing.

Ewing and Oakley went to the left and right corners of the free throw line, forming a double-ghosted position to hit the goal.

Ewing caught the ball and Oakley screened Stockton. They made the Blazers think the ball was going to Stockton.

As a result, I followed Stockton and missed Oakley.

After covering Stockton, Oakley turned around and went down, and this was the killer move of this tactic.

Another change in the Knicks' offense this season is that the inside controls the ball more often. A high inside pass was made and ekeeysf replaced McDaniel.
