The rest is just noise

Frank Leyden, who had retired as an assistant coach despite being the head coach, was suspected of having a shady and nefarious deal with Sloan.

But Layden had no objection to the position of assistant coach.

At this time, the Jazz were in trouble, and Sloan asked him for advice. Layden also gave professional advice: "If the Knicks don't plan to replace Brad Rohaus, we can let Karl focus on attacking this point.

.”

Sloan asked: "So, give up the pick-and-roll strategy?"

"No, it's not giving up." Leyden said with a smile, "It's just letting it go temporarily."

There is no need for Leyden to explain the difference between giving up and temporarily letting go.

After Sloan considered it himself, he adjusted the Jazz's play style.

According to what Leyden said, give Karl Malone enough authority in the low post and let him attack in the low post as he pleases.

Ma Long was overjoyed, but the good times did not last long.

Louis hired Luo Haos not only for his work, but also because of his shooting ability.

In the Knicks, this is the only big man who can hit three-pointers stably. For the others, although Louis says every day that whoever can hit three-pointers will increase their playing time, there are very few responders.

Ewing, a group of big bosses who have been trained by traditional inside players, cannot accept the fact that inside players frequently get three-pointers from the outside.

Even if Ewing has mastered the ability to step on the three-point line and shoot the ultimate two-pointer, he does not want to expand his shooting range beyond the three-point line.

In Louis' eyes, this is a disease that needs to be cured.

Of course, the Knicks don't have to force the inside to shoot three-pointers, so the problem of them not practicing three-pointers won't make Louis angry for the time being.

The Jazz letting Malone play in the low post was something Louis had already thought of.

For these teams that try to bet their offense on the low post, pocket formations are a lingering nightmare.

Malone took advantage of his unstoppable physical advantage to hit Luo Haos with two consecutive goals, including a 2+1.

That 2+1 led to Luo Haos' dismissal.

I wonder if the player who replaced Luo Haos can say on this timeline, "There are 365 days in a year, 24 hours in a day, 60 minutes in an hour, and 60 seconds in a minute. I can do it anytime, anywhere."

Rodman who took down Karl Malone.

Rodman's words were a classic hibakusha cry.

In the two rounds of the finals showdown between the Bulls and Jazz, Malone's statistics were very strong, but his crotch stretching at critical moments caused a bad impression among fans.

Just looking at Rodman's defensive effectiveness, it's not good.

Now, Louis uses the young and normal version of Rodman to defend Malone, who is far from his peak and has an obvious youthful temperament.

The normal version of Rodman is the strongest Rodman.

Being a normal person does not mean that he is a good person on the court. Rodman, who makes people feel abnormal, is the one who changes his hairstyle every week, gets together with Madonna, wears women's clothing to attend his autobiography signing event, and threatens to marry

Rodman himself...:.

On the court, Rodman was never a good player at any time.

His duel with Malone pushed the intensity of the game to a climax.

Just watching the two of them fight against each other, Louis felt that the game was too thrilling.

In order to test Rodman's single defense strength, Louis deliberately did not let the pockets be closed.

This makes Malone's coaches very anxious. They think that the Knicks' pocket formation will tighten as Malone increases the number of low-post offenses. By then, Malone will be able to use his passing to activate his teammates on the outside to defeat the Knicks.

Sri Lanka's line of defense.

The plan couldn't keep up with the changes. They didn't expect Louis to let Rodman, the third position, take over the fourth position.

Rodman plays the fourth position and lacks confrontation and core strength. As long as Malone exerts his strength, he will basically fly away. But he has a strong fighting spirit and has a historical level of continuous jumping ability.

This resulted in Malone being often affected even if he pushed him away.

There is another disadvantage to Malone's offense.

Dick Bavetta's bad writing can only see his elbow swing, but not Rodman's countless little moves.

A player like Rodman, who has a size difference between Malone and Malone, went head-to-head with Malone for three or four minutes without even a single foul. Instead, Malone was called for accidentally positioning his elbow when he was attacking. A foul was committed.

"Rudy, you may think I'm crazy," Louis said incredulously, "but you can trust Dick Bavetta for a moment!"

Tomjanovich looked suspiciously: "I even suspect that he took a bribe from you."

"Believe me, if he was willing to accept bribes, he would have been reported long ago." Louis said profoundly.

In the league, 99 out of 100 people hate Bavetta.

At one stop on his retirement tour, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said, "I'm glad I only have to put up with Dick for six more months."

Other than Bavetta, no other Warrior named Dick would feel that they deserved to be ridiculed by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in that situation.

Bavetta puzzlingly supported New York, Ewing's big delay effect exceeded expectations, Rodman was tough and Malone didn't fall behind... Various reasons came together to allow the Knicks to lead 29 to 29 at the end of the first quarter. 20 to take the lead.

"This game is sad for people who support Utah."

"Because you can't see their winning points."

"UCLA's offense, which they were best at, suddenly couldn't open up. Patrick Ewing's high post attack caused them more trouble than they imagined."

In the second quarter, Louis habitually replaced McHale to serve as the core of the transition period, paired with Hornacek, Ainge, Rodman, and Oakley.

However, the Jazz do not have as good a lineup as the Knicks, so they, like other strong teams that meet the Knicks, will choose to shorten their rotation.

Therefore, Alvin Robertson, who was only responsible for defense for most of the first quarter, worked with Chambers and Eaton to support the Jazz's transition period.

These are also the few minutes that best demonstrate Robertson's ability.

For the Knicks' high-post dynamic offense, the Jazz found the answer.

Change defense.

Selective defense switching is the only answer.

Eaton must sit in the penalty area, Rodman can let go, and McHale has no three-point threat. Once you understand this, it will be simple to switch defenses.

In the Knicks' second team, the only people the Jazz need to stick to are Hornacek and Ainge.

Robertson's defense allowed Louis to see Hornacek in the most embarrassing situation.

In the NBA, it is rare to see a defensive player chasing the ball holder like a pig, and the ball holder is helpless against the defender. There is fear on his face, which can be seen between his eyebrows. There is only inner trembling.

That's what Hornacek looked like facing Robertson.

He didn't dare challenge Robertson at all.

If Hornacek is a softie, Louis has nothing to say.

But he is not.

Hornacek is a very tough player. He is afraid of Robertson, not out of fear of strength, but out of fear of the opponent's defensive ability.

He truly believed his dribbling was unsafe in front of Robertson.

What gave him this idea?

When playing against the Trail Blazers and Celtics, Hornacek can even take over Stockton's ball rights and play the number one position for a long time.

But against the Jazz, from the first round when he faced Robertson, from the moment his eyes met Robertson's eyes, Louis knew that he could not count on Hornacek in the game against the Jazz.

.

Robertson's amazing defense is more than that.

He murdered Hornacek with single defense, helped defend Ainge, switched defenses to handle the Knicks' high-post dynamic offense, and brought a different game rhythm from Mark Price.

Under his rhythm, the Jazz played the UCLA offense.

McHale and Oakley's high-post delay defense was amateurish and lacked Ewing's power. This is why the Jazz's system was reactivated.

"Is there something seriously wrong with the Spurs' management?" Louis asked inexplicably. "Don't they want to remain competitive? Such a strong player was given to Utah?"

Tomjanovich praised: "Not to mention, Erwin has the shadow of Walter Frazier."

"No, he's more like Dennis Johnson with upgraded accessories...but that doesn't fucking matter." Louis said unhappily, "Honey is scared to death by him! I really don't understand, what's there to be afraid of?"

Tomjanovich expressed his understanding of Hornacek.

"Lu, do you think Honey is a softie?"

"of course not."

"Yes, he is not a softie." Tomjanovich said, "He just looks like a softie under Irvine's defense."

Louis asked: "What's the difference?"

"The difference is that 99% of defenders are like softies in front of Erwin." Tomjanovich himself is a player. He knows that there are some "psychic assassins" on the court, and these people often pass through impeccable defense.

The pressure makes the opponent collapse psychologically.

Robertson is undoubtedly such a defender.

"Is he really that strong defensively?"

Louis knows that Robertson is very strong defensively. Whether looking at statistics or on-the-spot effects, he is the strongest defensive back after Moncrief.

But Louis never expected that the Alvin Robertson he saw in his eyes would actually be underestimated by him.

Because he didn't have a clear idea of ​​Robertson before and after the time travel.

Just like Jordan, when you mention him, his image will automatically flash in your mind: GOAT! Flying Man! Hannibal-like killer.

The same goes for other players, such as Kobe, who is paranoid, and Mamba, who is too self-centered to fit in with the team.

Curry scored a three-pointer, shook his head and was slightly beaten, and will never win the FMVP.

Durant is a network wanderer, as tough-talking as Sima, has a glass heart, and is a scoring machine.

James is the number one person in a group at his peak (disgusting), an all-around data monopolist (surprising), sober on and off the court (admirable), and more than just a basketball player (worship, long live).

You see, most modern players and famous ancient players, Louis has a template in mind, but for Robertson, he has no template.

So he had to use someone he was familiar with, but it was still not enough. He had never played against Robertson in person, and no sports reporter would write an article specifically for him about how he liked to torture his opponents with defense. Therefore, Louis treated him

Our understanding can only remain on the surface.

So he couldn't understand why a tough guy like Hornacek turned into a soft-footed shrimp in front of him.

Louis understood what Tomjanovich said. He is not a paranoid or arbitrary person. In this matter, Tomjanovich is more professional than him. He has no reason not to believe this famous player who has been on the court for ten years.

.

Robertson's explosion allowed the Jazz to tie the score.

Louis could only go to the technical desk to request a timeout.

This jazz team is really not that easy to deal with. To provide you with the fastest remaining, only noise update, Chapter 627: The Tough Jazz Dance is free to read.:.
