The rest is just noise

Chapter 683: The Tragic Teacher's Dilemma

In the second half, 58 to 47, a gap of 11 points, more or less.

The tragic man dribbled the ball across half court. Since his shooting range had no blind spots, Louis asked Rodman to keep a distance of about half a meter.

10 years ago, most players would put 1 to 2 meters away from the shooter.

Of course, at that time he was still a heartthrob known as "The Magician".

The tragic figure saw Rodman with his back from the high right wing. Some people worried that he took advantage of the era of no five-second violation to push Rodman all the way to the basket. But what happened two seconds later was the story.

The reason why he is regarded by Louis as the first core ball-handler in the modern era.

The tragedy happened with Rodman for about two seconds, and the other four Lakers players were all stacked on the left wing.

The tragedy maker on the right wing and Rodman at the top of the key became an isolated one-on-one.

This is the tragic player's favorite matchup mode, but he did not take advantage of the one-on-one opportunity to defeat Rodman. Instead, he seized the fleeting opportunity and passed a wonderful alley-oop to David Robinson...

Only the tragedy man can see that position, and his height brings him convenience in vision. But being able to pass the ball is a display of personal skills that cannot be attributed to height.

49 to 58

"It seems that if we don't open up the score, we won't see the tragic player playing in isolation with the ball."

Louis looked at Ewing with a smile. He hoped that the gorilla knew that the defense just now was unacceptable.

Ewing noticed Louis' smiling face and immediately received the message Louis wanted to convey.

He knew that there was a long series of multiple "you fucking dad XX" sentences hidden under Louis' smiling face.

As soon as he makes another mistake, Louis will use his name as the subject, mixed in with a bunch of unpleasant "you daddy sentences".

Wilson comes down low.

Stockton found that the person guarding Wilson was Green. In theory, it was a misplacement, but it was not a misplacement when playing in the low post.

Because he is a power forward, although he is not physically strong, he has at least a relative advantage over Wilson, not to mention an absolute advantage.

Stockton believed Wilson was not dazed and passed the ball.

Wilson didn't stay with the ball, turned around to face the basket, dribbled through, and Robinson came to help defend, which was the last obstacle to prevent Benj from scoring.

Wilson grabbed the ball with one hand and pulled the lever to avoid the block. The ball flew from Robinson's armpit, passed through his body, and showed a reverse upward trend to hit the board.

Ewing said dissatisfied: "My chances are better."

"What are you good at? Is it useful to you? Do you have that ability? Have you forgotten how you ruined someone's top ten goals in his career before?"

Louis, who was standing on the sidelines, fired at Ewing.

Ewing was speechless.

Wilson appropriately explained: "I didn't think about it that much."

Ewing felt guilty after being sprayed by Louis, and responded: "Just get in."

This is how the core of the Knicks get along with each other. In Louis' view, they are very similar to Gao Yuliang and Wu Huifen in "In the Name of the People". They clearly have no status as husband and wife, but they have maintained a superficial relationship as husband and wife for more than ten years for each other's needs.

.Of course, apart from their superficial relationship, they help each other in life.

Ewing and Wilson have a similar relationship. Do they like each other? Not necessarily, but they can't live without each other. Ewing needs Wilson to do the things he's not good at, cheering up his teammates, taking over the game, and competing with the opponent's ace.

;Similarly, Wilson also needs Ewing to stop a monster like Sampson in the paint while providing the best defense and rebounding protection in the league.

But off the court, the teams behind them are fighting fiercely. If the two attend the same commercial event, if Wilson's appearance fee is 10,000 US dollars, Ewing will charge 15,000 US dollars.

No matter how they compete off the field, in front of Louis, they are like a respectful couple, showing respect for each other and supporting each other's playing style, as calm as if they are golden partners, but Louis and many who know the inside story are

Know this is not true.

Will they explode?

One of Louis' favorite scenes in "Human Justice" is the three-minute quarrel between Wu Huifen and Gao Yuliang. It was a perfect performance that was full of atmosphere and acting skills.

He is particularly curious, will Wilson and Ewing have this problem in the future?

At this time, the tragedy maker asked Robinson to serve a fast ball.

He wanted to pass a long pass to Pippen, because the latter had already passed half court and had the opportunity to beat the Knicks for a surprise pursuit ball.

The tragedy maker's idea is good and his execution is in place, but he should not underestimate the Knicks' defense.

Pippen did not receive the tragedy's long pass.

The tragedy maker's long pass was seen through by Ewing. He came to the receiving point and easily intercepted the pass.

Pippen wanted to counterattack on the spot and moved towards Ewing. Ewing was not good-tempered and knocked him away with a backhand elbow. He dribbled the ball past half court and passed it to Stockton.

Wilson moves, Rodman covers, and McHale is ready to find opportunities to score points.

The Lakers' defense is in complete disarray. Without Pippen, their wing defense is completely inadequate.

Stockton originally wanted to find an opportunity to play more and less in some areas, but as a result, the Lakers paid too much attention to the other players in the Knicks and actually forgot about him.

Outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, Stockton had no one to defend.

No wonder, Stockton is a ruthless passing robot and has only scored 3 points since the start of the game.

His passing threat is too great, and his ability to find opportunities is astonishing. Wilson has a strong sense of presence. Even if he is standing in the corner and peeing, the Lakers have to send someone to hand him a paper, and they have to ask someone to pay attention.

The process of lowering his diarrhea was not smooth at all.

Stockton looked cold, collected the ball, and shot.

63 to 49

All of a sudden, the score difference reached 14 points.

"I'm not talking about you, Evan." Louis complained about the tragedy maker and his team to his face, "Who made the decision to let John go? Is it so outrageous? Do you think he can do nothing but pass the ball?

Did it? Although that’s true.”

Stockton turned back and glared at Louis aggrievedly.

Can this be said to outsiders? It’s a fact and it depends on the occasion!

The tragedy master's mentality is strong enough and will not be disturbed by Louis' few words.

"We won't give him another chance," the tragedy master said.

If Pat Riley were to answer, he wouldn't be as sure as a tragicologist. Because completely preventing the Knicks' offense is a false proposition.

Louis taught Warriors general manager and head coach Don Nelson the importance of offense and offensive spacing, and now he's experimenting with all kinds of offensive possibilities in Golden State.

Riley feels the same problem.

Only the Lakers have a reliable three-point threat, and even if the Knicks replace sharpshooter Miller, they still have two outside space points in Stockton and Wilson.

One is a threat, and two are huge threats.

If there are more than two, it is a qualitative change.

One heads-up player + four shooters equals an unmatchable defensive strategy. To limit the offense, you can only pray that these people don't have the skills themselves.

A ball-holding core + four shooters equals the expected championship potential.

But in 1990, even the Knicks didn't have the capital to play a high-quality one-star game.

The Knicks have a mature offensive system to create a good chemical reaction between their space points and wings (Rodman) as well as two interior players who can both shoot from the high post.

As it happens, the Lakers' defense relies heavily on the twin stars of Pippen and Robinson.

But Pippen now has a tendency to be shut down by Wilson. No matter how good Robinson's defense is, he can't stand alone.

Just like Ewing is regarded by Louis as the best defensive player in the league, if he didn't have players like Stockton, Wilson, and Rodman around him, the Knicks' defense would never be able to reach the current level.

A DPOY-level defensive cornerstone can turn a team with mediocre defensive talent into a strong defensive team.

However, in order to upgrade a strong defensive team to a historical strong defensive team, it requires the right talents and good teamwork.

Pippen tried his best to defend, but the quality of the Knicks' screen was too high to stop him.

Ewing, McHale, Rodman, three screens, no one can withstand it.

Only small-ball teams that rely on switching defenses can use switching defenses to ensure that their opponents still stay in position after so many screens.

Wilson continued with a three-pointer from the outside.

The gap between the two sides directly expanded to 17 points.

Riley requested a timeout and replaced Mark Aguirre, who was ineffective, with Derek McKay.

McKay has a certain long-range shooting threat. Although he is not as good as the Knicks, he is still better than Aguirre.

Riley is eager to liberate the tragedy master by improving the quality of shooters.

For Louis, it's just a matter of choice.

There are three multiple-choice questions for the Lakers' perimeter positioning: Tragedy, Pippen, and McKay. It's clear who to guard and who to let go.

First, let go of Scottie Pippen, who committed the crime of shooting 0% from three-point range tonight. Second, McKay, whose outside shooting is extremely unstable, tried his best to block the tragedy of the three-point shooting rate of over 40%.

An obstacle that is part of Anthony Karl Towns' predicament is forming in the tragedy master.

Towns' dilemma, as the name suggests, originated from Towns. Because Mr. Tang himself is one of the players with the strongest ability to utilize space, but because of the management's magical operation, many teammates with poor shooting ability were introduced, resulting in him who is the best at utilizing space.

Players in space are forced to take on the task of opening up space. A perfect space five does not enjoy the benefits of court space. This is Towns' dilemma.

Now, there is no Downes' Dilemma, only the Tragedian's Dilemma.

For a ball-holding core like the Tragedy Master, the larger the space, the greater the performance space, but Louis ordered the players to implement an extreme emptying strategy.

Regardless of Pippen and others, if the tragedy maker wants to break through, someone must come to attack him. He passed the ball. Pippen, who had a 0% three-point rate tonight, did not dare to take action. Others are brave, but being bold is useless.

, the feel indicates that it is not worthy.

With a few strikes, the Knicks relied on counterattacks to reduce the point difference to more than 20 points, and the Lakers faced a desperate situation.

Louis stared at the tragedy master, knowing that it was out of his control at this point.

If the Lakers want to win, the Tragedy Master must take over.
