The rest is just noise

Louis has great respect for Del Harris, but the strength gap between the two parties needs to be faced squarely.

The Knicks grabbed headlines, were shot while lying down, and were compared to criminals. This made the entire team feel quite angry.

So in the first game against the Bucks, the Knicks performed extremely brutally.

Not to mention the strength on the defensive end.

The Bucks still retain the iron-blooded defense of the Don Nelson era. This is a tradition that cannot be lost.

Because of their good defense, the outside world will not be surprised if they can upset the Knicks in one or two games in the playoffs.

Today's situation is different. The Knicks' shooters don't give the Milwaukeeans a way to survive at all.

The two players, led by Wilson and Miller, spent the whole game on the offensive end making random shots and goals.

The first game should have been the most exciting game for the Bucks.

The playoffs are different from the regular season. No matter how much you play in the regular season, you will change and do something different in the playoffs.

There are many accidents in encounters, so we often see that some inferior horses will be evenly matched in the first game against superior horses in the playoffs, but not after that. That is unexpected chance.

The Bucks were eager to take advantage of this serendipity and get a few bites out of Knicks.

However, Wilson and Miller turned what seemed like a fierce confrontation of defense and physical combat into an acrobatic performance, just like last year's Eastern Conference finals, which made Harris look like "wdnmlgbd".

The most disgusting scene occurred in this game. The Knicks actually booed the Bucks.

It is not new for New Yorkers to cheer for the visiting team. When their own team has the advantage and is beating the other team, cheering for the visiting team is obviously harboring evil intentions.

I saw New Yorkers hoarsely begging the Bucks to stay strong, hold on until the end of the game, keep the game as suspense as possible and not enter garbage time, so that they can watch Wilson and Miller continue to show off.

"I expected Milwaukee to be in trouble before this game started, but I really didn't expect it to be like this." Marv Albert said in surprise, "Reggie and Benj may have to play the first round of the season against them.

The best performance in the post-season.”

Just with Wilson and Miller scoring 36 points and 34 points respectively, the Knicks' offensive firepower overwhelmed the Bucks.

Final, 121 to 88.

The Bucks tried their best, but there was no one on the other side.

Throughout the game, Louis only took the initiative to call a timeout.

And judging from the scene, his only purpose in calling that timeout was to give the opponent a chance to replace the main player.

Harris also knew what was going on and immediately replaced all the main players.

"Coach Lu, you played a wonderful game. Does this prove that you have entered playoff mode?"

The reporter at the scene asked Louis.

"Of course, we have a playoff mode, but I'm not sure it's a playoff mode."

"oh?"

"I feel like the Bucks are more of a scapegoat, and my players are venting their anger on innocent opponents." Louis doesn't mind letting the outside world know that he is unhappy.

Really, anyone who encounters this kind of thing will be unhappy.

Who can be happy about his record-breaking 74 wins being grabbed headlines and being compared to criminals?

"I hope some media outlets will stop making disgusting jokes about us."

Ewing spoke on behalf of the team with a livid face.

"We play hard, strive for victory, and never think about hurting others." Wilson is like Tim Duncan. He has indeed never hurt others, but his teammates may not.

For example, Rodman didn't have the confidence to say that.

As the most hated Knicks player in Boston, his carefree attitude is completely different from that of his teammates.

"I hope the police punish the scumbags who committed atrocities in Central Park, that's all." Rodman continued to hum.

The Knicks can't afford to distract themselves.

In game 2, the Bucks performed much better than the previous game.

Wilson and Miller's natural magic touch has faded.

The strange thing is that their hand feeling has deteriorated and it has nothing to do with the Bucks' defense.

How did the Bucks defend in the first game, and how do they continue to defend now.

Not only Wilson and Miller, but also the rest of the Knicks did not have that terrifying touch, and the game became normalized.

Louis feels that he is still too young. Who said that the playoffs will be a life-and-death battle?

Their second game with the Bucks was as harmonious as a pre-arranged dating show.

The Knicks generals used mediocre touch to express their refusal to let the show like Game 1 continue to happen.

The competition is all about showing off one's skills, and the most important thing is lasting, so that both oneself and the fans can enjoy themselves.

During this period, the two sides' offense was quite beautiful, with one climax after another. First, McHale, who had found the feeling in the low post, took a shot. Then Ewing continued to transform into Chamberlain + Kareem Abdul-Jabbar + Sampson, and the inside was overwhelming.

The Bucks were not to be outdone. Richie Pierce, who had conquered the Galaxy in the first game, suddenly woke up. Faced with the Knicks' three-point shooting strategy that did not take him seriously, the one-step shooter (one step inside the three-point line)

Accurate, not accurate outside the three-point line) boldly shot a three-pointer. The injured Sidney Moncrief was unwilling to be reduced to a supporting role. He shuttled like a dragon, repeatedly playing pick-and-rolls to find Miller, and used breakthroughs to defeat the Knicks.

The defense was in full swing, scoring and assisting without delay.

From a simple perspective, the Knicks have no advantage.

The main reason is that the lineup is deep. When the Bucks put in the second lineup, they were beaten by the Knicks' lineup composed of Hornacek, Rodman, Marly, Selly and Seikaly.

According to Zhao Yuanzheng's statistics, during the time when the two sides faced off, the Knicks only won by 3 points.

In the ten minutes after switching to the second unit, the Knicks won by 15 points.

Finally, amid the cheers of the Madison Square Garden audience, Louis replaced Song Tao, the "symbol of the arrival of garbage time," to come out to clean up the battle.

Although Song Tao has developed a reliable half-volume shot, he does not have enough tactical status in the Knicks, so this skill can only benefit the national team.

Since everyone knows that Song Tao is the person that Louis values, as long as he is on the court, he will play for him if he can.

Song Tao's physical fitness is excellent. He came up and dunked on the spot, scoring 8 points and 5 rebounds in less than 9 minutes.

"Can you take it easy? If you keep playing like this, you will be taken away by other teams in June."

Louis is really worried that the Timberwolves and Magic, which are going to expand in June, will be stupid and leave the precious expansion quota to Song Tao.

After all, this guy's averages per game are pretty good: 5 points, 3 rebounds, 0.4 blocks, and a shooting percentage of over 70%.

However, to paraphrase what Green said when he kneeled down and licked Curry, if you can't play well in the Knicks' system, then you're really bad.

A distinctive feature of Louis' system is that the offensive status of the inside is not high. It was not until this year that he appropriately added Ewing's singles tactics. As for the other insides, except for McHale, none of them had singles tactics.

The only thing they have to do on the offensive end is to constantly pick and roll, screen, and roll/split shots.

As long as you can get the hang of it, it's really easy to get points in this system.

Obviously, Song Tao is a master at scoring points.

The Knicks defeated the Bucks without a fight and got the match point 2-0.

Louis likes the format of the first round. Three wins from five games is just right for the first round.

Although the best-of-seven system can reduce the risk of a strong team being upset, isn't chance one of the most desirable factors in competitive sports?

If you have absolute strength, you will naturally not be afraid of being upset.

If you are not strong enough, then you should blame yourself for being too weak if you are upset.

In game 3, Louis gave the Bucks no chance.

From the beginning, he used Wilson's unsolvable matchup advantage to score consecutive points.

In the second quarter, the long-lost murderer appeared.

Wilson, Salley, Rodman, Stevens, Danny Ainge.

Although Ainge didn't participate much in the training of the murder press, he had experienced the power of this defense many times when he was with the Celtics, and now he has integrated into it quickly.

The Bucks fell to the ground and dropped the ball n times. Even if they dribbled the ball past half court, the process was extremely difficult.

For five minutes, the Bucks' only points came from free throws.

They scored 4 points with free throws, and then the Knicks used defensive counterattacks to steal the ball and score 17 points with very few positional battles.

This is how the suspense of the game was eliminated.

Louis is not greedy. As long as he establishes a winning streak, he will make substitutions.

The Knicks' murderous press has become the most notorious defensive tactic in the league.

All teams hate this move.

Because it's so hard to crack, it can be devastating to the second unit. Even if you have guards who can handle the ball, it's just going to bring out the worst in the Knicks.

What is the most vicious side of the Knicks? You can tell by looking back at the last few games of last year's Eastern Conference Finals.

Everyone believes that once the Knicks find that their full-court press cannot lock down the opponent's defender, they will continue to attack the ball carrier with violent fouls.

If you try to fight violence with violence, then the fate of the Celtics last year can be used as a reference.

The Celtics were already very strong, but they were defeated by the Knicks.

Some things are difficult to prevent.

For example, when he demonized the Knicks, Louis believed that in terms of defense, they were clean. Even if there were famous paintings like "The Clothesline", it was basically for defense. He was so dirty against the Celtics.

It's because the Celtics themselves are the dirtiest team in the league, and they can't play otherwise.

But after the Celtics lost, people's anger, hatred and jealousy towards the Celtics naturally transferred to the Knicks.

How could they defeat the Celtics? They must be more despicable, cruel and tyrannical than the Celtics.

Everyone wants to believe the Knicks are a terrible team.

Isn't Louis who leads this group of people Satan?

This is the origin of one of Louis' nicknames, "Satan in the Human Body."

Louis once thought there was an Ultraman named "Satan", but after learning the details, he realized that this meant that he was Satan Bundan.

This is crazy
