The rest is just noise

In his early days, Karl Malone was an all-around offensive power forward.

He can do anything because he is angry.

He was supposed to be selected in the top five picks, but fell to the eighth pick.

Malone is eager to prove himself and has made significant progress every year. Last season's performance made the Jazz determined to give up Dantley and correct him.

Now facing the Knicks' wing group, he also has many offensive methods.

He can catch and shoot, turn over, face the basket and dribble with the ball, he can do everything you can think of.

Louis noticed that he was extraordinary, so he paid special attention to him.

"Kevin, can you handle Carl?"

When the Knicks attacked, Louis asked loudly.

McHale blocked Malone and replied: "Of course you can!"

After that, he changed positions, caught the ball, and Malone let him go.

McHale has only one attitude toward those who let him shoot, and he shoots decisively.

"Whoosh!"

Jazz announcer Hundley 'Hotrod' Hundley therefore said: "Kevin McHale's jump shot is known to be perfect. Karl's defense should take this into consideration and give him a little more respect."

"This defensive effect can be done by my mother."

Malone was even more dissatisfied with Louis' sarcastic remarks.

"You should shut up, Coach Lu," he said to Louie as he ran upfield.

"No, no!" Louis became playful and deliberately provoked Ma Long.

Louis provoked Malone, who then made a signature turn-over shot on the right side when facing McHale's defense.

The ball came in at the sound.

12 to 18

The Jazz held on to the score.

Hendry also gave a classic commentary that excited Jazz fans: "You must like this, baby!"

"Kevin, you can't do it without calling back, right?" Louis continued to instigate.

McHale agreed again, "Yeah!"

Then, Stockton launched a 2-high attack. McHale's timing and ability to find mismatches were not comparable to Ewing's. It was an accident to find Eaton before, but now they know that Eaton will never leave the penalty area, so naturally they can't.

Will bump into his arms again.

McHale found Griffith's dislocation, pushed away the defense with his right hand, jumped hook with his left hand, and hit the board.

"Just give it back to Songsong!" Louis asked angrily, "Carl, how can you let Dr. Dunk defend you? He is a defender!"

Malone argued: "That's because you like to play coward pick-and-rolls!"

"No, we are using a very smart pick-and-roll to deal with little fools like you." Louis said so sweetly that the referee couldn't stand it anymore.

Jacknies, who likes to maintain order on the court, came over and warned Louis: "You can direct from the sidelines, but you can't say too many unnecessary words."

"I completely agree with you." Louis dismissed the referee with a smile.

The Jazz's subsequent offense played a stupid trick, allowing Eaton to receive the ball in the low post. But as soon as Eaton received the ball, he passed the ball outside.

This is a tactic that compresses space to allow teammates to get better offensive opportunities.

There's just one problem, no one cares about Eaton's post offense.

The Jazz wasted a lot of seconds when Wilson suddenly increased his defensive intensity and beat Bob Hansen's ball away.

Hansen made a tactical foul on his backhand, which limited Wilson's defensive counterattack.

Louis was about to say a few more words, but Nice stared at him the whole time.

Louis had to pretend to be very well-behaved.

In the era when there were only two referees on the court, it was impossible for the referee to take time out to care about the coach. Now Louis has accomplished an impossible task and made the referee focus on him.

"If you keep looking at me, you might miss the foul."

Just as he was saying this, the cooperation between McHale and Stockton made Malone hit a wall.

Malone could not imagine that there would be a tactic where the inside would cover the inside.

McHale came out with a 2high n. Even though there was Eton in the paint, no matter how strong his rim protection was, it was still not an airtight wall.

McHale used his long arms to cover the offense and switched hands to pick up the basket and score.

"Foul! Foul!" Louie yelled.

Nice then turned his attention to the court.

"Look, Jack, because you kept looking at me, you missed a foul on Jazz. You did it on purpose. You wanted them to commit a legal foul, so you kept pretending to care about me."

Louis bit back.

Nice said unhappily: "Lu, you'd better be more honest!"

"Jesus Christ! I've been standing here doing nothing. Why are you guarding against me?" Louis spread his hands, "Can I do anything bad?"

It was the Jazz's turn to attack, and the referee ran to the backcourt.

Tomjanovich came over and asked: "Is it fun to tease the referee?"

"It's more fun to tease Karl Malone and the referee at the same time. No, it's double the happiness." Louis said with satisfaction.

"Why don't you just focus on this game?"

"No need to focus." Louis said confidently, "All teams without strong wings, all teams that cannot attack inside, are not our opponents."

Jazz hit all of these two.

They don't have super wings like Bird, Jordan, Wilkins, Worthy Dantley, and Barkley who are strong enough to explode and radiate the entire court.

There are no mobile insiders like Sampson, Olajuwon, and Moses Malone who can attack outside and affect the operation of the n.ula system.

Malone is a pure power forward, and a true wing should be a forward and guard who can swing in multiple positions.

A pure power forward cannot hit the line indiscriminately.

What's more, although his skills are all-powerful, he can't kill anyone one on one.

Mark Price's three-pointer helped the Jazz recover a little from their decline.

After returning, Jacknis focused on the game.

McHale uses the third variation of the 2high series, the 2highpik, to catch and shoot from the weak side.

This is very close to what Louis is familiar with, the pick-and-roll attack between Malone and Stockton.

In the Jazz in the 1990s, every game was accompanied by many similar offenses.

Stockton passes the ball so well. He places the ball in the best position every time. The receiver does not need to adjust, he just picks up the ball.

Moreover, he knows the rhythm of his teammates very well and knows their sweet spots on the court very well, so he has so many assists.

He is a natural baker.

And McHale is a talented attacker. The chemical reaction between him and Stockton may not be as good as Stockton and Malone, but the effect is definitely far better than the combination of Malone and rookie Price.

Price can only pass the ball to Malone in isolation, and the Jazz currently do not have a pick-and-roll system.

Louis is also not sure what level Price will be playing in the pick-and-roll.

An assistant coach off the court for the Jazz was very serious about recording everything that happened on the court.

He is fascinated by the Knicks' pick-and-roll system.

"Jerry, is there no way to solve their style of play?" Head coach Leyden said distressedly, "It's like this every time. It seems very simple, but our players either can't react, can't keep up, or

I caught up and got knocked out of position, my God, what kind of crazy style of play is this!"

Jazz assistant Jerry Sloan said: "This is the ula offense."

"That's not right, the ula offense does not use the defender to initiate a pick-and-roll with the ball. The closest ula offense during the Bill Walton era was not this way either." Leyden shook his head.

"Yes, this is a modified ula offense." Sloan replied, "They call it the n.ula offense."

Leyden asked: "Is there any way to limit it?"

"Their pick-and-roll cooperation is so proficient and impeccable. John Stockton is very stable and rarely makes mistakes. Therefore, the only way to prevent this style of play is to let our players bravely switch defenses."

"Whether it's a big defense against a small one or a small one against a big one, you have to try it. This is the only way, otherwise we will see them using this routine all night long to create local opportunities for more and less."

Layden glanced at Eaton, unlimited defense changes?

"It won't work. Eaton's speed cannot meet the requirements."

Sloan's idea is to replace Eaton, but if he replaces Eaton, the Jazz's inside line will be crazily rubbed by the Knicks.

So, this is a dead end.

The Knicks' personnel configuration is too luxurious, and they are competing against teams like the Lakers, Celtics, Pistons, and Trail Blazers.

A second-tier group like the Jazz can only try to hold on to the bottom line.

The bottom line is the forbidden zone.

With Eaton here, at least the restricted area is safe.

A set of 2high offense was played by McHale.

The most common 2-high day P is no longer used frequently. McHale activated other tactics under the same system, which was to bully Malone and not be able to defend the pick-and-roll by himself, and even bully the Jazz to have no way to deal with it.

2highgan, the same high-position tearing apart the defense, McHale received the ball down the line, created a second wave of chaos, and passed the ball outward.

Benjamin Wilson caught the ball in the corner and made his second three-pointer tonight.

"Whoosh!"

"I've had enough of your cowardly tricks!" Ma Long yelled, "If you have the ability to fight me one-on-one!"

McHale looked at him as if he was caring for a retarded person: "You can't defend yourself, so why should we stop? You're not qualified to fight us one-on-one."

"What the hell did you say?"

"Kevin, your emotional intelligence is too low, right?" Louis despised McHale, but it was Malone who was disgusted, "Even if it's the truth, you can't just talk nonsense!"
