The rest is just noise

For Wilson, forcing the Bucks to the point where Moncrieffe personally defends them can be considered a success.

Moncrief had enough tonnage, skill, power, and even the home whistle was on his side.

Ordinary players can use hand-checking to limit the opponent's breakthrough, but Moncrief is simply using hand-checking to teach Wilson to be a less flamboyant rookie.

This was Wilson's first setback in the playoffs, and the defense Moncrief brought to him was unprecedented.

Stockton was guarded so much that he couldn't use pick-and-roll offense to break up the defense. Wilson was defended by Moncrieffe's one-on-one military training. The Knicks looked like they could do nothing, but then, Dale Ellis used his running position to

Revitalize the team again.

This means that the east does not light and the west lights.

Ellis' return to form is a huge good thing for the Knicks.

It’s no secret that an off-ball master can save the entire team’s offense. The Bucks don’t have a third wing defender.

Although Paul Price has an active willingness to defend, Fisher, Vujacic, and Wang Zhelin always let us know that defense is not something you can do well by being active. If you really can't guard it, just watch the opponent's shots like Loew does.

You can just turn your head without raising your hand and pray that they miss the shot and then grab the rebound.

Ellis' running and his three-pointers allowed the Knicks' N.UCLA system to use the most threatening Exchange Ricky (high-post dynamic offense) tactics to continuously attack the Bucks from the outside.

Ellis made 3 of 5 shots before the end of the first quarter, making it difficult for the Bucks' steel defense to achieve its intended effect - such as leading the Knicks at the end of the first quarter at home.

They are not ahead.

Ellis's three-pointers, his running game, each one shot into the heart of Milwaukee.

When the camera showed Ellis, his face showed a cold and ruthless emotion.

"Some time ago, this guy was almost jailed, and now he's a game-breaker." Barry asked, "Bill, what do you think is his motivation?"

The Nonsense duo also talks about people sometimes.

"I think he and I are the same kind of people." Russell's cold joke made Barry and himself laugh.

The poor TV viewers will definitely have nightmares at night. Anyone who has heard Russell's laughter will admit the terrifying nature of it.

"It may be a bit arrogant to say this, but I am serious. Dale Ellis is my type of player who likes to turn external pressure into motivation on the court." Russell boasted about himself, "

The more dissatisfied I was with things off the court, the better I played on the court. That year, I scored 30 points and 40 rebounds against the Lakers in a Finals..."

Louis has a love-hate relationship with Ellis. He likes his ruthless three-pointers and his movement. His chemistry with the N.UCLA system is very good.

But... why can't he really be as well-behaved and honest as he seems on the surface? Why give him a Kawhi Leonard-like contrast in this season of impact on performance?

"Dale, do you still have the strength?" Louis asked.

Ellis said directly: "I can play 40 minutes."

"Okay, then you will rest for two minutes and be ready to play for 10 minutes in the second quarter."

Louis replaced Stockton, Wilson, Ewing and Ellis.

Instead, it was Corbin, Stevens, Rodman, Selley, and Oakley who surprised the Bucks.

murder press

This is the original Murderous Press. Now Louis has added a few more people to this lineup, but these five are the original five.

They systematically practiced the full-court press.

It's very strange to use them against bucks.

Because in the eyes of many people, the murder press should not be prepared for a team with strong defense like the Bucks.

But, who says a guy with a strong defense can't be pressed?

In fact, the Bucks, a team that focuses on organizing forwards, do not have a few qualified point guards in the team, and they do not have the aggressive, size, or speed core guards like Thomas and Jordan that Louis feared.

Using a murderous press on the Bucks is not something that needs to be seriously considered.

The only thing that puzzles the Bucks about this is that in so many games before, the Knicks have never used a murderous press against them.

This is Louis' little idea.

He knew that the murder press was useful for the Bucks, but he never used it in the regular season, nor in the two games at home, which made them think that the Knicks did not intend to use force to overcome force and give them a confrontation.

As a result, at the beginning of the second quarter, the Bucks were about to replace their main players and make some adjustments, and then they saw five tough guys from the Knicks coming onto the court, ready to knock off a layer of their skin.

"The game has become more interesting than ever!" Barry started talking nonsense, "I can't believe the Knicks would do this!"

"Yes, they pressed the whole court against a team that knew very well about defense. They were so bold!"

Russell's understanding of defense is still in the 1960s. At that time, no player could break through the full-court press with one person. This cognitive gap is just like today's players cannot imagine that someone will be able to call the pick-and-roll at the LOGO position in the future, and

His opponent also has to consider whether to double-team him to prevent him from shooting a long three-pointer.

Times have changed, so there is naturally a generation gap.

Barry is talking nonsense on this matter simply because he knows so little about defense.

The Bucks use John Lucas II, Rich Pierce, Brad, Paul Mokeski (Paul Mokeski C/PF), Lenny Brewer (Randy Breuer C) to be super big, super

Using a heavy lineup to deal with the Knicks' death press is more like courting death.

Because the Knicks had never used a full-court press against the Bucks, Nelson mistakenly believed that the Knicks' full-court press and the full-court press in his memory were the same thing.

The result shocked him, it was different, so different.

The Knicks' full-court press can involve all five of them, and each one of them has amazing athletic ability, long hands, long legs, and fast speed. When it comes to defensive intensity, the Bucks' twin-tower lineup allows them to only have three players to cope with this.

Wait for defense.

Brewer and Maukes are basically a very powerful twin-tower combination, which the Bucks use to deal with Ewing, the Pistons' frontcourt lineup and Sampson.

But they were unable to share any pressure in the face of the Knicks' death press.

They are too tall and too slow. Once the ball comes to their hands, they won't even have time to lift it above their heads before they are entangled by Spider-Man.

The almost life-threatening murderous pressing lasted for more than four minutes.

The Bucks have changed guards, but no matter how they change, just those few players can't change the situation.

Nelson looked at the Knicks' murderous pressing formation with horror. Their only reliable point guard was John Lucas II...the other positions were mainly on the wings and inside.

No point guard!

The only point guard was too big to break the Knicks' murderous press and needed support from his teammates.

In just over four minutes, the Knicks' murderous press launched an overwhelming 15-6 offensive wave.

The Bucks were forced to time out twice. Nelson replaced the lineup with a guard and four wings, which alleviated the embarrassment of being unable to even dribble the ball for half a court, as if the national basketball team was competing in a world competition.

Seeing that time was almost up, Louis called a timeout to let the five players who had been fighting for more than four minutes take a breather.

Of these five people, he only retained Rodman.

Rodman was the best player in these four minutes, scoring 8 points, 4 rebounds and 3 steals.

"Dennis, you don't have a fixed opponent on the court. You can find someone to match up with, but don't keep an eye on your opponent. Your task is to sweep up. Do you understand?" Louis drew a rough range for him.

"You have to clear out all the Bucks players approaching this area like garbage. Can you do it?"

"Yes..." he replied weakly.

"Did you have your balls cut or your anus penetrated? Louder!"

"Yes~~~~!!!!"

"let's go!"

"Yes! Coach!!!"

After being tortured by the Knicks' murderous press, the Bucks entered a period of huge disadvantage.

The score on the court was 46 to 35. Originally, they were only 2 points behind. Now, the Knicks used pressing tactics to beat them far behind.

If Louis gets crazy and presses them for an entire quarter like in that classic game against the Celtics, the consequences are unpredictable.

Looking back at the Knicks' pressing just now, and looking at Louie's arrangement of quitting as soon as he was ready, Nelson felt that his Bucks might not have been regarded as opponents by Louie from beginning to end.

If they were really regarded as opponents, they would have put out that lineup long ago to test the effect of the full-court press.

Why has the Knicks never used a full-court press against them before? The answer will obviously make Milwaukeeans angry.

Louis is convinced that this trick will definitely work for the Bucks, and he won't even go through the process and will go straight to the playoffs.

The result was a 15-6 victory that left the Milwaukee Arena in complete silence.

"Can we really use defense to overthrow Boston's dominance?" This time, Nelson fell into self-doubt.

⑴ This does not mean that Leonard is as bad as Ellis off the court, but it refers to his superficial image and the things he does off the court. I would like to declare here to avoid misunderstanding, I quite like Leonard’s contrast between white and black.
