The rest is just noise

Some players belong to college basketball.

Some coaches are also only suitable for college basketball.

Rick Pitino is this type of coach. His culling system has obvious disciplinary problems. But this disciplinary problem is not caused by laxity or player inaction.

It's like a director messed up the co-starring of Akiho Yoshizawa and Yuma Asami. You can't accuse these two superficial superstars of not working hard, because their professional abilities have been tested for a long time.

The only thing that could mess this up is a bad script and incompetent supervision.

In fact, Pitino's culling system is the answer against the Knicks... However, he has little control over the details of defense changes. He often gives Porter to defend Wilson, Porter to defend Rodman, or even Porter to defend against Rodman.

Special defense against John Salley's confusing switches.

If you ask a guard to misplace and defend Wilson and Rodman, who have overwhelming advantages in athletic ability and size, let alone switch to defend inside players like Bowie and Selley, isn't that like a fucking monkey or a baboon?

And a coaching style like Pitino's that focuses on defense and requires all players to kill the offensive team always has poor offensive training.

Fortunately, the Trail Blazers have Jordan and Drexler.

It is true that thanks to these two people, although the Blazers' positional defense was penetrated, the offensive end maintained a back-and-forth momentum.

Drexler, in particular, proved his ability last season and has greatly increased his possessions this season. He is no longer a secondary player smoking in the corner without anyone passing the ashtray.

Just relying on these two people, the Blazers were only 4 points behind in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers replaced Jordan to rest, let Drexler play point guard, and played five with Anthony Mason, Clifford Robinson, Jerome Causey and Blue EdwardsSF.

Wings were their norm last season.

In this lineup, Robinson and Mason are considered insiders.

But Robinson's main position is the third position, and Mason is the swingman at the third and fourth positions. In other words, Pitino is in a five-forward formation.

This scene seems familiar.

Marv Albert said: "If the Knicks draft five small forwards, we know what's going to happen on the court."

Louis knew that Pitino wanted to take advantage of the Knicks to prove the correctness of his strategy.

This five-forward formation is obviously meant to press the whole court.

Just looking at the lineup can really shock people, but Mason's combat ability is still very average at the moment, Robinson and Edwards are just rookies, and the only ones with mature combat capabilities are Cauchy and Drexler.

Looking at it this way, doesn’t it feel better?

Pitino's killing system is based on a 2-2-1 full-court press.

This kind of pressing method can be used in college to bully other teams with different personnel quality by using strong and strong veterans. In the NBA, unless the five players on the field have top athletic ability, it will be difficult.

Have the same effect.

Louis couldn't predict the situation before he knew it, and he couldn't guess that Pitino was going to give him eye drops.

Following the normal rotation, his eyes fell on the two rookies, their faces full of enthusiasm.

"Not counting the preseason, today is your real first show. I allow each of you to make three mistakes. If you make more than three mistakes, you will be handed water and towels from the sidelines. Do you understand?"

Kemp and West both nodded vigorously.

Louis immediately decided on the Knicks' lineup for the second quarter: Ainge, Doug West, Stevens, Rodman, and Kemp.

Kevin McHale, who was missing in the first quarter, was still missing in the second quarter.

McHale sat calmly on the sidelines, not worrying about his playing time.

Before Kemp came on the field, Willis Reed came to him and put his hands on his shoulders: "A rookie should have a rookie consciousness, start with defense, start with all the things that everyone hates, don't think about it.

Show off!"

Kemp pursed his lips and nodded vigorously.

"Don't listen to Willis's nonsense. If you have a chance, just dunk. I just want to see you dunk. Just fly with confidence. Willis will take care of it." Louis gave Kemp completely different instructions.

Kemp knows who the coach is and he knows who to listen to.

"Yes, coach, my coach!"

Stupid Kemp didn't know that Louis was disgusting. When he heard him yelling like this, half of Louis' love for him had disappeared.

Zhao Yuanzheng saw that Louis' expression was wrong and immediately hid far away.

When Louis saw the Trail Blazers' lineup, he knew Pitino was going to do something ruthless.

As expected, Cosey and Robinson were the vanguard.

Drexler and Edwards were deep in the midfield.

As a short power forward, Mason is actually the only guarantee in the backcourt.

The Knicks are also at risk. The only reliable ball handler on the court is Ainge, the one who may provide help is Stevens, and the backup plan is Kemp and West.

Kesi came up and wanted to force Ainge to make a mistake. He and Robinson worked together to force the ball out of bounds.

But the ball still belongs to the Knicks.:.

This kind of defensive intensity and confrontation actually appeared in the opening game, which shows how much the Blazers want to ruin the Knicks' celebration.

"Alex."

Louie reminded Stevens to give Angie some help.

After being uncomfortable at first, after a period of actual combat testing, Anji has become much more comfortable in dealing with it.

Moreover, Stevens is a wing who can handle the ball.

The Blazers' full-court press had pressure but no intensity.

The Knicks repeatedly broke through the Blazers' blockade, prompting Brent Musburger to ask his partner: "Hubby, what do you think is the difference between Portland's full-court press and New York's?"

Hubie Brown said harshly: "Portland's full-court press is like a college student's play, a bit of a joke, and often unclear about priorities. Although the scene is quite lively, it actually does not interfere with the opponent much; while New York's full-court press

When the Knicks press a full-court press, I would exaggerate. The intensity is at the level of American football. Whenever the Knicks press the game, the live broadcast of the game should be immediately marked with the label 'under 16s need to be accompanied by their parents'!"

The Knicks' lineup does not have a reliable attacker.

To score, five people need to cooperate.

Rodman is selfless, and so is Stevens. Ainge knows that he is the big brother on the court, so he is very loud and has extremely strict requirements on the two rookies' running positions.

Once Kemp was in the wrong spot, Ainge immediately yelled, "That's not where the damn thing is!"

Even so, when Rodman and Stevens screened on the weak side at the same time, West ran, and Kemp did a fake pick-and-roll reverse cut, Ainge seized the opportunity.

He collected the ball and passed it with both hands.

A beautiful reverse cut allowed Kemp to shake off Drexler, he received the ball, and in an instant, he completely exploded.

Except for Wilkins and his high school fake love interest, no one tortured the basket as violently as he did.

Except for Shaquille O'Neal in the NBA, no one can stand up to physical confrontation like him without losing the momentum of physical improvement.

"God, this kid rules the restricted area like a Reign Man!"

"Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh," Louis shouted excitedly, "Pixiao, one more! One more!"

The ball hit Mason's body, which was amazing.

Louis has never coached such a powerful player. Compared with him, Bird and Benj Ewing's dunks are nothing!

What, he said something that he shouldn't have said? What's there to care about?

Willis Reed didn't know what expression to make. He asked Kemp not to be too pushy. As a result, this kid impressed the whole audience deeply when he came up.

"Lu, you're under control," Tomjanovich said helplessly, "You're a little out of control!"

"This kid is so handsome!" Louis shouted triumphantly, "I'm going to design 100 alley-oop tactics for him! Let Billy do it tonight!"

Not far away, Donovan's feet went weak and he was almost frightened.

"Isn't it wrong for you to do this to Billy? He has just become a regular employee." Tomjanovich had a compassionate heart.

Louis tapped Tomjanovich on the shoulder: "Think about what I did under coach Fitch. It is the head coach's obligation to exploit every assistant coach. Only in this way will they remember that they have climbed up step by step.

It's easy, and then double-exploit your own teaching assistants. This is a great tradition that I hope to pass on endlessly from generation to generation."

"You said it so boldly, but it made my hair stand on end."

It was at this time that Kemp made a big shot while helping to defend.

Then, following the fast break, his speed was simply terrifying, too fast to be considered an inside post.

He was too excited and tried to dunk the ball from Anji, but the ball flew away.

Willis Reed was furious at this moment: "Damn high school student, are you out of your fucking mind! #￥@%"

Louis hurried over to put out the fire and excuse the high school student: "Don't be angry, Willy, at least Pinxiao's dunk action is quite smooth and handsome."

"Coach Lu, you are harming that child by doting on him like this!" Reed said seriously, "He is still very young and it is time to learn the rules of the court."

"Yes, yes, didn't I stop you from scolding him? It's just my personal feelings. Please don't mind. If you scold him twice, I will love him even more."

Reed was so angry that he couldn't speak, and Louis was already thinking of ways to let Kemp win the top ten slam dunks of the year. To provide you with the fastest remaining, only noise updates, Chapter 669 The Tyrant is Coming for free reading.
