The rest is just noise

Chapter 844: What a piece of shit is Jordan?

Louis asked Chris Jackson to continue playing because he wanted to continue his good form.

It's just that it's a bit too optimistic.

Louis believes that once a convulsive player like CJ starts to convulse, it is difficult to guard against him.

But the Trail Blazers are not an ordinary team. Their physical contact and the dividends of the era that allow defenders to hand-cheg attackers at will make it difficult for smaller shooters like CJ.

Now the Trail Blazers have paid more attention to CJ. The person responsible for guarding him is Terry Porter, a defender who can keep up with him.

Porter is one of the most important players in the Trail Blazers' starting five and the most stable firepower on the outside. However, he was guarded in a few games against the Knicks.

This is also due to Louis' arrangement.

Louis knew how helpful Porter would be to Jordan and Barkley if he opened up, so he had a clear emphasis on defensive arrangements.

If Curry and Lillard can be restricted in the small ball era, it is normal for CJ to be blocked in the big ball era with loose defensive rules.

Louis wouldn't take any chances. After seeing CJ forced into a mistake by the Trail Blazers' strong double-teaming, he knew it was time to make a substitution.

For the Trail Blazers, in addition to replacing Porter, they also replaced Barkley.

Sir Charles, who rarely sits on the bench at the start of the game, has been having a hard time in recent days. The Portland media has been slandering him, and the New York media has caught him saying he would win the championship at home.

So after he came on the field today, it was as if he had been pumped and his offensive was fierce.

Rodman originally wanted to commit an offensive foul, but today, Dick Bavetta and other selfish beasts do not have the concept of an offensive foul.

All fouls are defensive fouls. This is not against the Knicks. If someone from the Trail Blazers tries to commit an offensive foul, this is the result.

It seems selfless, but it is actually beneficial to the Blazers.

Because Barkley is such a monster that no one can stop him when he rushes forward, making offensive fouls is one of the ways to prevent him. The referee suddenly stripped the concept of offensive fouls from the court, which is equivalent to removing one of the ways to deal with Barkley.

.

One minute before the end of the first quarter, Barkley led the Trail Blazers to a 4-point lead over the Knicks.

When Barkley hit 2+1, Louis replaced cj and replaced him with Stockton.

"General, stabilize the situation." Louis said, "Let us enter the second quarter smoothly."

Stockton nodded, but Louis was not reassured. Just like at the beginning of the game, Stockton showed no signs of instability. As a result, he was prevented from three consecutive mistakes by the Blazers' full-court press.

.

Who can reason with this kind of thing? The coach can only make substitutions, and Stockton has to make adjustments on his own.

Now, the Trail Blazers' lineup on the field is no longer the small four-forward lineup that puts great pressure on the ball carrier, but the defense against CJ has shifted to Stockton.

It stands to reason that Stockton's ability to withstand pressure should be stronger than that of CJ. He is the Knicks player who frequents the gym the most, but the Blazers' defense seems to have figured out all his tricks.

Porter defends, Jordan helps defend, and Clifford Robinson intercepts the passing route.

One set after another, Stockton seemed to be possessed, trapped in a cycle of mistakes.

At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks trailed the Trail Blazers by 8 points.

Louis did not replace Stockton, but instead handed possession to Wilson, treating Stockton as an open shooter. He only had to stand outside the three-point line at the top of the arc to open up the space.

I didn't replace Stockton this time because I didn't want to hurt his self-confidence.

Since he couldn't regain his form after sitting on the court for so long just now, it won't get better if he switches out. It would be better for him to let himself go, liberate himself from his original role as a commander, and start with the simplest fixed point.

Start as a shooter and slowly find the feeling.

Let Wilson control the ball and Stockton be the shooter, which is equivalent to killing a chicken with a knife.

After all, Stockton is best at organization, while Wilson usually only serves as a full-time ball handler in a murderous pressing lineup. In the main lineup, he is one of the core offensive and defensive cores.

Since it is not his job, Louis naturally has to provide guidance on the details of the game.

Stockton is a fixed-point shooter. It all depends on his touch and the ability to contain his teammates. Whether he can contain the opportunity depends on his shooting accuracy. If he can make the shot, he will have it. If he cannot, he will not. It is very simple.

As a commander, Wilson was definitely not as experienced as Stockton, and Louis did not ask him to be like the latter.

"Benj, our lineup lacks offensive ability. I need you to create opportunities for my teammates." Louis clearly drew the offensive route on the tactical board. "Starting from the left and right wings, you can call for pick-and-rolls or singles, but

Don't go inside, I need you to threaten from the mid- to long-range, forcing them to actively flank you."

Wilson knew what he needed to do and immediately confirmed, "Can I shoot with the ball in the high post?"

"As long as you can shoot accurately, you can shoot unlimitedly." Louis reminded, "Pay attention to the timing of your shots and make Portlanders fearful of your shots."

"How scared?"

"As long as you have the slightest shooting movement, they will pounce on you like they discovered that their lover was cheating on you." Louis said wildly, "Yes, you are the adulterer who made their lover cheat on you."

Wilson smiled; "I like this setting."

The second quarter restarted, and Louis gave a few more instructions. When he turned back to the court, he noticed something was wrong with Ewing's eyes.

"What are you looking at? You've had enough rest, right?"

Ewing snorted and looked away.

When Wilson came on the court, the score was 34 to 26. The difference was 8 points, which was not a big difference. If the Trail Blazers had a scoring drought for a few minutes, with the Knicks' offensive capabilities, they might be able to catch up.

But today, the Blazers' strategy was to prevent the Knicks' offense from opening up.

The Knicks' starting lineup has been cold, which shows that their strategy is working. Now, Miller, Ewing and others are no longer here, and the Trail Blazers have eliminated CJ. At present, it seems that only Wilson has room to exert his strength.

Riley shouted and signaled to Jordan with his eyes.

Jordan immediately understood Riley's intention. In the second quarter, the ball belonged to the Trail Blazers. The first quarter was full, and in the second quarter, the flying Flyers singled out Wilson and hit his iconic one-handed pull-up jumper.

36 to 26

"For New York, this game may have reached the most dangerous moment! Just like the last game, the Knicks established an advantage to seal the victory before the end of the first half, and the Trail Blazers wanted to do the same

!”

Rodman, who had green hair on his head, shook his towel and shouted: "Benj, let this garbage arena be quiet!"

Seeing Rodman's hair color and the comparison he just made to Wilson, Louis wanted to laugh inexplicably.

Wilson dribbles the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and Jordan stands on the three-point line. As long as Wilson approaches the frontcourt, what awaits him is the most aggressive single defense.

After Wilson dribbled the ball past half court, the pace of advancement slowed down significantly.

As his head coach, Louie could see that Wilson was ready to pull out a 3-pointer like Kevin Durant did against James in the final seconds of Game 3 of the 2017 Finals.

Jordan didn't realize this.

Two meters beyond the three-point line at the top of the arc, Wilson stopped, collected the ball and shot.

Jordan's defense has reacted, but it's still too slow.

"Whoosh!"

Wilson's ice-cold three-pointer was met with boos from the Memorial Coliseum.

He held his ball-picking finger and blew in front of his mouth, like a cowboy who had just drawn a gun and fired: "Michael, if you want to guard me, isn't it a little too far to stand there?"

"Oh oooooooooo~~~" Rodman howled like a male monkey in heat, "That's what it smells like! That bastard Larry Bird is with you, my brother!"

Jordan's power is unquestionable, and he and Sampson represent two extremes.

One is the ultimate in personal ability, and the other is the ultimate in offensive and defensive influence.

Jordan can dominate anyone one-on-one, and Sampson can dominate the game on both offense and defense. This difference is brought about by the player's size. As the core of the team, Sampson can bring at least 25 points.

Gains and losses, and Jordan, as the ace, can penetrate any team's defense.

It's hard to say who is the first, but those who support Jordan and Sampson have their own reasons. Now Sampson has the highest voice because he has a ring and Jordan has no ring, so he is willing to listen to the teachings and give up some

thing.

Now, his biggest enemy was right in front of him, and Wilson's provocation made him furious.

Louis doesn't think Wilson is better than Jordan now. Compared with Jordan, Sampson, and The Tragedy Master, he should be a little bit worse.

Because he is only 25 years old this year, it will take almost two or three years to fully reach his peak.

The 29-year-old Jordan is in the best period of his career and really lets go one-on-one. Louis thinks Wilson can't be compared.

However, just after Wilson shot that ball and spewed trash talk, Louis was so excited that he had a thought in his mind, qtmd! It took a lot of time to realize that Jordan was a rotten fish. How many people are there now?

The champion is so arrogant?

It was this sudden burst of adrenaline that allowed Louis to acquiesce to Wilson doing one of the most dangerous things on the basketball court - pissing off Jordan and then going one-on-one with him.
