The rest is just noise

The Celtics knew they were no longer in a dominant position against the Knicks.

They have lost all their games against the Knicks in the regular season this season. No matter from any angle, the Knicks have surpassed them in strength.

Therefore, the senior players of the Celtics did not respect their status and fought resolutely from the beginning.

Isiah Thomas passes to Bird.

At the free throw line, Bird used his shooting threat to fend off Wilson and attract Ewing's defense.

When Ewing got in front of him, Bird threw the ball to Sampson, who caught the ball and dunked.

2 to 0

On the contrary, the Knicks are still adapting to the frontcourt combination of Rodman + Bowie + Ewing...

Miller, who is usually responsible for spreading the floor, sat off the court and Wilson filled his position, but he is not a full-time shooter like Miller.

The Knicks created an offensive opportunity for Rodman.

Xiaochong wanted to score in the Celtic penalty area, but he forgot about Sampson's presence.

"Snapped!"

Sampson's assisting defense was sudden. Rodman, who was in the midst of it, felt that Sampson suddenly flashed out, but Louis on the sidelines wondered if Rodman had misunderstood him.

Sampson was standing on the edge, and he just rushed in?

Can you give some respect to the No. 1 center of the 1980s?

"Dennis!" Louis pointed to his head, "Don't just look at the basket when attacking, use some wisdom!"

"Uh-huh"

Rodman wanted to know where his wisdom was going to be used, because Sampson just seemed to appear under the basket instantly, which was so scary.

What little wisdom he had had been frightened away.

The Celtics took advantage of the Knicks' offensive miss. Thomas moved to the frontcourt and passed to Reggie Lewis who followed up.

Lewis made a pull-up jumper, 4-0.

"We do have some reliance on Kevin."

Seeing the Knicks' offensive constipation at the beginning, Zhao Yuanzheng was inspired.

"Indeed." Louis had to agree.

Kevin McHale is only 32 years old, but like many contemporary players, he has declined at a rapid rate when he entered his 30s because he is a vegetarian. Although this eating method has been studied for many years, there are already a series of vegetarian diets.

There are recipes that can supplement the various nutrients needed by the human body, but there are no vegetarian recipes that can help basketball players maintain their condition.

Therefore, McHale's condition has deteriorated year by year, but the Knicks still rely on his three starts.

The Knicks are used to letting McHale play a low one-on-one at the beginning of the game or use a 2-high day-p strategy.

As long as McHale's hands are smooth, everyone else will be fine.

In order to play defensive counterattack tonight, Louis asked McHale to substitute and use the twin towers to fight against the Celtics. It is inevitable that the players will not adapt.

What's more, Miller also came on as a substitute.

Louis whistled, "Just use any 2High tactic!"

Stockton therefore launched a tactic. With McHale absent, it was Ewing who executed the 2High tactic.

He and Stockton played a high pick-and-roll. He first caught the man and then pulled him horizontally, forcing Sampson to switch defense in front of him.

"this"

Originally, Ewing and Laimbeer were playing well against each other, but a tactic was called and Sampson was put in front of them.

At this point, Stockton still has to pass the ball to Ewing as the tactics require.

"What's this?" Louis was confused. "Did we call this tactic just to let Patrick and Ralph fight in a duel? Does he have that ability?"

"Patrick, if it doesn't work, just pass the ball! I can totally accept it, really!"

Ewing frowned, and Sampson used Louis' words to stimulate him: "Even Coach Lu doesn't believe you."

"That bastard won't recognize me anywhere except the nightclub." Ewing knew Louis too well.

Sampson said: "Asshole? If I were you, I wouldn't call him that. He's a good man."

Ewing was anxious: "Good luck, mom!"

The Jamaican King Kong, whose quality is questionable, took the ball in his hands, took a tentative step and suddenly dribbled to the weak side.

That location is exactly to Sampson's right.

Louis found that Ewing's explosive power and speed are faster than Sampson. After all, the latter is not young anymore, and his speed and athletic ability will decline.

Ewing chose to charge with his right hand, which Sampson did not expect.

Ewing's basic skills are not as good as Sampson's. In this case, he only took one step to put the ball away. Then, he completely used his body to force Sampson away, and completed a difficult backhand basket under the basket.

.

2 to 4

"Wow, is this Patrick?" Louis asked, "Ralph, are you in trouble?"

Ewing finally couldn't hold it any longer: "Can you hope that I will be better?"

To this Jamaican second-stringer who had no idea what the law of conservation of character was, Louis went up and sneered: "Play your ball well, what do you care about me?"

Ewing looked at Louis in disbelief.

If Louis didn't mess with his mentality, would he need to react so strongly?

But now the game is important, and he has no time to argue with Louis.

The Celtics were fighting seriously, and the defense they faced had a strong Louis vibe.

The back line dominated by Stockton on the outside interferes with the Green Army's breakthrough. On the inside, Ewing and Bowie take turns protecting the basket and allowing the Green Army's long-range mid-range shots and three-pointers. When Bird is holding the ball in singles, try not to

Double-teaming, if he must double-team, it should be done suddenly at the moment he takes action.

If Bird or other Celtics players want to shoot a three-point fast shot! I'm on my knees, please shoot!

Although Jimmie Rodgers has mastered the incredible work of Sampson's toolmaker, he also understands the Celtics' game philosophy from ancient times to the present: team basketball.

In the culture of the Celtics, the team is always greater than the individual, because Chamberlain, who has the most outstanding personal ability in history, has proven that no matter how outstanding his personal performance is, he cannot win without forming a chemical reaction with the team.

Watching Bird work hard to move, it seems to be slow and leisurely, but there is always a chance.

Rodman, who defended him, was the Defensive Player of the Year, but no matter how strong Rodman's defense was, he couldn't withstand the Celtics' ubiquitous off-ball screens.

As soon as Rodman was caught, Bird immediately went inside.

Ewing helped defend, Bird threw lightly and scored with a high rebound.

6 to 2

Although Ewing cannot be blamed for this round, Louis felt that he needed to "remind" him.

"What's going on with your defense? Can you be selected for the second defense just because of this? I think those who voted are blind to vote you into the second defense. Do you think Larry respects your defense? He saw

You came straight to me when you were under the basket, and I didn't take you seriously at all."

Louis has his own unique insights into "reminding players."

"!@#%"

Ewing did not dare to refute, but only dared to say something in Jamaican that Louis could not understand.

"Do you think he was confessing to me in his native dialect?" Louis asked Tomjanovich.

Tomjanovich smiled and said: "That's what you think."

"Ahaha, I think this bastard seems a little angry."

"like?"

Tomjanovich didn't want to explain, the truth was all on his face.

Louis seemed to really have no idea who Ewing was angry with. He called on Ewing to pick and roll Wilson, and gave Stockton tactical instructions.

Generally, he won't give frequent instructions to Stockton, because the latter is the best point guard in the league. If he doesn't know what tactics to use when, then no one will.

Louis did this because the Celtics' defense today was very interesting.

After they discovered that McHale and Miller were both substitutes, they asked Lewis to keep an eye on Wilson, and then asked Laimbeer to guard Bowie alone, while the others gathered near the paint area.

Under this situation, it is very difficult for the Knicks to play inside.

The tactics called by Louis are called "Littlefool" in the Knicks. This is a series of tactics. It aims to use simple moves and sudden high pick-and-rolls to create a situation where the wing players can hold the ball and rush into the penalty area.

Chance.

Wilson picked up the ball on the left side of the free throw line, and within a second or two, the other eight players on both sides of the court suddenly centered on the paint area, blocking the central area.

But if you look closely, you will see that the Knicks players are all positioned outside.

Then, Ewing set up a pick-and-roll, followed by Bowie's chain screen, with Stockton and Rodman standing outside, and at the same time freed up a wide offensive space for Wilson.

Suddenly, in the restricted area that was obviously blocked by the crowd, a path emerged for Wilson to take off.

"boom!"

4 to 6

"That's right, we'll use the 'Little Fool No. 2' strategy in the next round." Louis shouted.

He is not afraid to let the Celtics know that they are going to play the "Little Fool No. 2" tactic because they don't know this tactic because the Knicks have never played it and this tactic does not exist.

As for whether Louis' players can understand and be surprised by the sudden "little fool No. 2 tactic", it depends on whether they are willing to use their brains.

Those who are willing to use their brains are the treasures in Louis' mouth.

For a bastard like Ewing who doesn't like to use his brain and is unconvinced in various ways, Louis is very willing to "patiently" and "enlighten" him.

Sampson rarely got the ball in the low post, but his thinking was too simple.

Lean on Ewing, don't hit from behind, just turn over and shoot.

How could Ewing let him do what he did? Going up seriously interfered with his shot.

"boom!"

It's now!

Louis saw Wilson grab the defensive rebound and pass it to Stockton.

Stockton then passed a long pass to Rodman, who was about to leave, and the little bug dunked in the frontcourt.

This terrifying defensive counterattack, as long as the pass is passed successfully, the Celtics are completely helpless.
