The rest is just noise
Chapter six hundred and forty fourth reluctant victory
Detroiters hated Louie, hated his Knicks, and hated that he drank Coke before winning every game.
Why can't this guy just roll with his victory?
He couldn't because he still had to give a live interview to CBS.
"Coach Lu, is this a difficult game?"
"Judging from the score, not really." Louis glanced at the scorer, 118 to 102. "But it was really difficult tonight."
CBS's reporter from the front asked: "In what aspects is it mainly reflected?"
"Mainly the fans, they put a lot of pressure on us." Louis laughed, "I know every team that comes to Auburn Hills feels this way, so just get used to it."
Detroiters didn't want to hear more from Louis. Since they couldn't stay to make things difficult for the Knicks (it didn't make much sense), they left quickly.
In this game, Wilson, who had previously performed superbly, was still so stable that it made the Pistons sick.
Tonight, he didn't score much, only 30 points. This was the lowest level since the start of the Eastern Conference Finals, but he sent 12 assists.
Throughout the Eastern Conference Finals, the most impressive thing about Wilson was his instigation.
Under the influence of Detroit's defensive switching strategy, Stockton was unable to organize the team according to the rhythm he was accustomed to.
Therefore, in most cases, the Knicks need Wilson's stable performance to drive others.
As a result, he did it, averaging double figures in assists per game in the series, not only being the team's scoring leader, but also assists leader.
Chuck Daly lamented: "New York not only has a good team, but also a good coach. If your opponent makes no mistakes at all, it means that the possibility of defeating the strong by the weak is 0."
Now trailing 0-3, the Pistons' only remaining motivation to win is to make the Knicks lose in the playoffs.
Ten-year-old Chinese football fans should understand what the battle of honor is.
But in the face of this kind of competition that is about honor, players may not be able to fight for honor. They will either have internal strife, lack confidence, or lose.
The Pistons belong to the third reason. They were beaten badly by the Knicks and have no idea how to win.
In the Western Conference, after three games, the Lakers lead the Jazz 2-1.
The Tragedy Master played to Shi Yikong's level in the third game of the Western Conference Finals.
22 points, 14 rebounds and 19 assists in a single game.
Louis had actually seen this kind of data on a man named Russell.
Unlike Russell in the future, the tragedy master obtained this kind of data as an inevitable result under certain circumstances.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is old and Pippen is on a truce. If he doesn't play like this, how can the Lakers win?
May 26
Whether the Knicks can lose a playoff game in the Eastern Conference depends on today.
"No one supports Detroit because every other team lost to New York and Detroit should lose too, everyone thinks so."
Pistons announcer Ken Calvert said helplessly.
"But the more difficult the situation is, the more we must stay strong. Miracles will only happen to those who don't give up."
Regardless of whether the Pistons players gave up, Louis wondered, what are the Pistons doing?
In the first few rounds of the game, he actually couldn't understand the Pistons' defensive strategy.
The last time he couldn't understand the game was when he first arrived in Boston in 1978, but this time, he couldn't understand it again.
In the past three games, the Pistons have used three strategies.
Shooting mid-range shots, shooting three-pointers, attacking with attack, all were easily resolved by the Knicks without exception.
The most valuable lesson the Pistons learned from this was not to give New York a chance.
The Pistons seem to be very afraid of the Knicks' defense changes, and their pick-and-roll tactics have been greatly reduced.
The few pick-and-roll tactics that Dumars and other guards had with Parrish were all initiated by the left and right wings, with the ball holder taking the baseline. To defend against this kind of pick-and-roll, most teams would choose big defenders and small players.
The defenders work together to control the ball handler toward the baseline, and close the weak side corner to help defend the screener down the line.
As a result, it is very difficult for the ball carrier to pass an alley-oop to the screener.
In fact, so far in the series, the Pistons' pick-and-roll tactics have been severely restricted by the Knicks.
The Knicks' outside wing changes and Ewing's blockade of the penalty area blocked the opportunity for their inside line to eat the pie.
Today, Parish, who ranks first among the Pistons in terms of finishing effect and ball control, has never gained the trust of the coaching staff and teammates from the start.
As far as Louis is concerned, the Pistons coaching staff did not try to use tactics on Parish at all, and Parish only played less than 26 minutes in this game. Compared to him, Daly prefers to play small ball around Worthy.
Routine, but Worthy's offense is powerless against the Knicks. He is not a real inside man and has difficulty resisting Ewing. His rim protection and rebounding are much worse, and he cannot bring positive benefits to the Pistons.
In the past few games, Louis could understand all the Pistons' practices.
He watched today's episode for a long time and saw that his players easily established a lead. Worthy was blind and was suffering in the paint, but the Pistons' coaching staff instilled in him every round, "Hold on."
, victory is ours" and other poisonous chicken soup.
Louis couldn't understand but was quite shocked.
In addition, Joe Dumas basically said "The fight will be over soon, I will wait for my vacation" written on his face.
I saw Dumas throwing a few outside shots with Stockton in the air to try his hand. He found that he didn't throw any of them, and his mood became even lower. Later, he began to possess the Buddha, fish online, just push and push counterattacks, and positional warfare.
Occasionally, he plays with the ball. In the extremely constipated space of the Pistons, if he wants to attack the basket, he will most likely give Ewing a block. He finally creates a shooting opportunity for his teammates but cannot seize it.
The Pistons' coaching staff had done everything they could, and all that was left was passion, and their passion was not conveyed to the players. Except for Parish, who couldn't catch the ball, everyone else turned into a blacksmith shop owner.
Ilo was 1 of 4, Worthy was 3 of 11, Aguirre was 3 of 10, Mahon was 2 of 5, Dumars was 3 of 9, none of them were human.
Moreover, the harder the shot is, the more blocked the basket will be. As a result, the Pistons will not be able to score from the outside. When they attack the inside, they will encounter terrible defensive pressure. Naturally, it will be difficult to score.
The Pistons' offense made the fans in Auburn Hills despair.
They were shouting happily at the beginning, but gradually became as mute as if they had been gagged.
The shooting is not good, the basket is too blocked, and the Pistons' offense is like constipation, uncomfortable.
In the second half, the Pistons' coaching staff hoped to rely on mid-range one-on-ones to solve the constipation offense.
They first asked Worthy to duel - he relied on his height and speed to perform a mid-range duel very efficiently, but his touch was a problem. Fortunately, he did not want the Pistons' last game of the season to end with a score difference of more than 30 points.
, the feel gradually returned.
After that, Dumas was inspired by Worthy and began to cheer himself up. He challenged Stockton to a duel. Of course, his touch was still terrible, so he shut himself up after a while. Aguirre did not need anyone to remind him that he could do it alone.
Picks - The Pistons' mechanically orderly offensive system suddenly turned into a large number of high-post picks, which Daly could not have imagined.
But there is no other way. They have no routine to play. The only way is to play whoever gets the ball like now.
On the other hand, the Knicks are all relaxed and playful.
Since his opponent's resistance was too low, Wilson was a person who needed to be stimulated to cheer up.
So he decided to have some fun for himself, such as passing out 5 assists with his back.
He made 5 turnovers before getting 5 assists.
"Benj, get out of here!"
"Coach, isn't he your big baby?" Ewing asked gloatingly.
Mr. You successfully broke Coach Lu's defense: "What the hell does this have to do with you? Get out of here!"
Wilson knew why Louis was angry, so when he came down he smiled like a fool and said, "Coach, I was wrong."
"I think I was wrong. I was too good to you and caused you to have hallucinations. You don't need to play in this game anymore. Just rest."
Louis traded Rodman for Wilson.
It turns out that in that case, whether or not Wilson is replaced has no impact on the result.
The Pistons were defeated like a mountain.
In the fourth quarter, Daly said all kinds of inspiring words to motivate the players. Their goal was to control the score difference below 30 points.
Louis and Daly are friends, and humiliating each other is not his purpose, so for most of the fourth quarter, the Knicks only had two main players on the court.
But the Pistons' touch was too poor, and Louis couldn't deliberately let his men miss the ball.
Sekali, Marley, Hornacek, Song Tao, Anji, all the garbage time gods of Yishui, who dare to fight and fight hard to beat their opponents to death.
In the end, with Louis's extreme reluctance, the Knicks brutally defeated the Pistons by 34 points, which was a heavy humiliation and eliminated the Detroiters from the playoffs.
After the game, Louis walked up to Daley and wanted to express his shame.
"Stop talking, Lu." Dai Li smiled, "I have all my words in my hands."
He held Louis' hand, and with such force, Louis almost broke his bone.
