The rest is just noise

Since Louis wasted 2/3 of the timeout, he only had time to make substitutions and could not do more.

In fact, this is enough. The game of basketball is the art of matchup. Each team has relative strengths and weaknesses. The mission of the coaching staff is to seize the opponent's weaknesses and beat them hard, and then use the opponent's weaknesses to affect the overall situation.

Do the Lakers have any weaknesses?

Louis hasn't discovered it yet because they have a perfect core.

Louis replaced Stockton with Hornacek and asked Wilson to play the second position, Rodman came up to play the three position, McHale played the four position, and Bowie replaced Ewing at the five position.

Although David Robinson's muscles are as beautiful as ancient Greek sculptures, he is not a tough player.

Therefore, Bowie's defensive pressure is not great, and Louis needs his rebound protection and rim protection.

Letting Hornacek and Rodman replace Stockton and Miller is purely for defensive considerations...

Miller + Stockton are always mismatched no matter how they defend. Although Hornacek's effect is similar to Stockton's, he is more aggressive.

The Knicks don't need a perfect offense now, they need more aggressive ball handlers.

Moreover, the Knicks' defensive strategy has changed.

Louie no longer completely opens up the Lakers' outside shooting.

At least, Tragedy's open three-pointer is respectable.

Louis asked Rodman to face off against the tragedy, Wilson faced Pippen on both offense and defense, and Hornacek guarded Aguirre.

"The Knicks are one of the few teams in the league that can rotate their backcourt to have the same athletic talent as the Lakers."

Not allowing the Tragedy to open three-pointers and interfering with Pippen's outside shots, the Knicks pushed their rotating defensive system to the extreme.

The Lakers' lead was quickly erased.

Pat Riley doesn't need to remind him. The tragedy maker who has played countless games knows that doing this to the Knicks will give them many mismatched offensive opportunities.

The tragedy maker boldly attacked the Knicks' penalty area.

Friend of the Lakers Dick Bavetta's whistle sounded frequently to let people know whose home court this was.

"Hey, Dick, can you give the players some room for autonomy?" Louis asked with a smile.

Louis originally didn't want to communicate too much with this notorious referee, but he had already given the Lakers three body hairs in a row. If he didn't communicate with him again, he really thought that the Knicks' coaching staff had no temper.

"I won't miss a single foul!" Bavetta said with authority.

Louis, who was joking with him a second ago, suddenly turned his face and said: "I think you let the foul on the Lakers go easily. If your eyes are selectively blind, I strongly recommend you to get a fucking operation!"

"

“Beep beep beep!!!”

Louie honorably received his first technical foul of the season.

After Bavetta gave T, Louis looked like he was going to hit him, but Tomjanovich tacitly stopped him.

Zhao Yuanzheng stood in the middle and said good things.

"If you don't know how to control the tempo of the game, I can fucking teach you, son of a bitch!" Louie growled.

Although Bavetta was not a novice and knew that these coaches always used anger to show off their anger to win the love of the players, he could not see through Louis's mind.

The story of Little's one-punch knockout of Jack Madden has become a legend, and the Knicks are an army of lunatics who are completely reckless when they are angry.

Something unsettling for Bavetta soon happened.

Pippen's breakthrough had a chance to score at the basket, but he was violently fouled by Wilson and was knocked over.

Of course the referee will call a foul.

Louis whistled coldly, "Since you will be called for a foul no matter what, you might as well be more ruthless!"

Second-year referee Nolan Fann spoke on Bavetta's behalf: "You have to control the players' emotions!"

"No, is this my fault? You use two sets of standards for the Lakers and us when enforcing the law. I complained a few times and got a T, what else?" Louis shouted angrily, "It's your penalty.

Scale will cause you to escalate this game, because no matter what we do, we will be called for fouls. In this case, of course my players must take advantage of every foul opportunity!"

Vann knew that Louis was a villain, but he didn't expect that this man would dare to blatantly threaten the referee.

This round of negotiations was considered a failure. Bavetta did not change his ways, which led to a more violent accident.

Still targeting Pippen, this time the person taking action was Rodman.

When Pippen had a chance to dunk during a fast break, Rodman, who was chasing behind him, actually pushed Pippen's back with his hand, causing Pippen to fall to the ground with an extremely bad foul.

This action instantly caused a conflict between the two parties.

But Aguirre was the only one who really dared to come forward to look for trouble. The tragedy master didn't like fighting, Robinson couldn't fight, and A.C. Green only wanted to break up the fight.

But what about the Knicks?

Everyone except Bowie wanted to fight.

McHale was actually fighting in the name of breaking up fights. Louis really couldn't believe that God had given him such long arms, but he actually used them to secretly punch. This man would be punished.

The forum was filled with boos like a torrential rain. Lakers fans are destined to be disappointed. In terms of fights, conflicts, and ability to adjust after returning to the game, the Knicks are number one in the league.

The whole team understands that a fight is a fight and a game is a game.

You can win the fight, but you can't lose the game.

That's not necessarily the case for the Lakers. Louis saw something similar to Dr. J in the Tragedy Master.

Or, he would like to use another person as an example.

Lonzo Ball, the second overall pick in 2017, is a natural defender. If he had been born 20 years earlier, he might have had a higher ceiling. He has the sense of smell and passing skills of a core defender, and his sense of space can be compared with many master-level organizers.

.He has a calm and almost ruthless heart. Even if his teammates fight for him, he can look on with cold eyes⑴.

They are too calm, cherish their feathers, and value their own image.

But the biggest difference between the Tragedian and the Doctor is that he still breaks through his defenses occasionally.

For example, tonight, when the two sides were in chaos, he stood up to defend Pippen.

Rodman yelled unhesitatingly: "Try to touch me, you big tragedy! You are a fucking softie, and you have never been a match for Larry Bird. I can kill that kind of guy with just one elbow!"

You know, I can do something with one elbow that you haven't been able to do for five years!"

Who can not break the defense? For example, in the S8 World Championship, everyone will remember JKL's forward flash and UZI's autistic pig liver face and finger-gnawing when BP faced G2 in the fifth game. A symbol of natural selection and debut is the world championship.

A microcosm that symbolizes a career.

The tragedy master couldn't let go, so he ran away.

"Stop! Stop everyone!"

Facts have proved that three referees are not enough to stop players from fighting.

Bavetta looked at Louis bitterly.

Louis spread his hands, as if nothing had happened: You can't expect me to clean up the mess, right? Please lick your own shit.

There was almost a riot in the forum because the Lakers players were at a disadvantage one-sidedly in this conflict. The tragic figure who wanted to trouble Rodman was thrown to the ground by Rodman. McHale's ability to stop the fight was as good as Nabinaba's.

wind.

The chaotic scene lasted for a full two minutes before rational people on both sides brought it under control.

This time was enough for Rodman to make the tragic man suffer a nosebleed.

He thus accomplished two achievements, KOing Bird and The Tragedy Master on the court.

The former was designated by the Associated Press as the best male athlete of the 1980s, and the latter was the tragic figure second only to Bird in the 1980s.

As a result of this conflict, Rodman and McHale were called for technical fouls, but many Lakers suffered losses and the game was interrupted for 10 minutes.

Bavetta rushed to Louis angrily.

Louis responded coldly: "If you don't plan to change your attitude towards this game, I guarantee there will be more conflicts."

"Little Lu, how dare you!!!"

Louis sneered: "My player made illegal actions on the court and received a technical foul. I agree, but the double standards you adopted in this game are undoubtedly an important reason for the situation to get out of control. How do you think the referees union will view it?"

How did you perform tonight? Do you think the league will tolerate you, a fool who ruined a nationally focused game? I tell you, you have no right to yell in front of me, and I will not punish you again for your stupid decisions.

Comment, if you make me unhappy, if you make my players unhappy, then we will make all of you unhappy."

"You" Bavetta picked up the whistle and wanted to give Louis a T.

"Quick, blow!" Louis said excitedly, "You'd better expel me now. I really want to know what the game will be like without me controlling these people!"

"Dick, blow, quickly, don't hesitate."

"what are you waiting for?"

Louis laughed mockingly: "Are you going to brag or not?"

Because of the conflict between the Knicks and the Lakers, the attention of the game is continuing to rise, and the largest number of people are always watching.

However, if this game really gets out of control as Louis said, the focus battle will turn into a disaster, and the image of the league that has finally been restored will face the risk of bankruptcy.

Bavetta couldn't bear the consequences.

He spat out the whistle in his mouth and said shamefully: "Louis, everything is negotiable."

"Listen, I don't want a whistle that is beneficial to us. Do you know what I want? I want fairness!" Louis said in a deep voice, "Fair scale! Fair judgment! How this game will develop depends on you.

The steelyard in my heart!"

For the first time since Bavetta entered the league in 1975, a coach's verbal threats to him created a substantial risk.

He had to think about what would happen if that happened.

He knew he couldn't afford such consequences. Behind Louis, he represented not only the Knicks, but also the entire New York and its huge media power.

As long as the situation develops to that point, it is beyond his control as a referee.

It is almost certain that in order to calm the anger of many parties, he, the negligent referee, will be the only target of surgery.

"As a coach, if you can control the referee, you can control everything." Hubie Brown praised, "Leader Lou is undoubtedly a real mind catcher. Even Dick Bavetta can't do anything about it. This is simply

It’s the best thing a coach can do in the game.”

⑴The moment I was most disappointed with Big Ball. In addition, the cases where Magic broke the defense and got into fights on the court were concentrated in the 1988 Finals with the Pistons. He was first broken by Laimbeer (choke), and then was beaten by Rhodes.

Man broke the defense (flying kick), and then went crazy. He fell into the state of "I will kill every piston dog I see" and elbowed his good brother Isiah Thomas. There was another defense break that I am not sure about. The object was

Kevin Johnson. When I posted this chapter, I suddenly thought of one: he was beaten (Ainge) for breaking up a fight in the 1984 Finals.
