The rest is just noise

Louis entered the locker room, looked at everyone, and raised his voice and said: "I don't want to drag the game to the seventh game. I believe you do the same. In the second half, we need to work more hard on defense."

"First of all, defense, we must insist on using pocket formation to trap the Alabama fat boy!"

Stevens objected: "However, this trick didn't work in the first half."

"I don't believe that fat pig can defeat two or three of us every time! If he really does this to us for a whole game, it means it's not that he is too strong, but that our defense is too bad. You'd better go out in the future.

Don't say you are from the Knicks, I can't afford to embarrass this person!"

"Secondly, the pocket formation must understand changes!" Louis pointed to the tactical board, "If Fatty is on the right wing, we must stick to the square pocket formation. If he is on the left wing, we must switch to the triangle formation. If he is in the center, I didn't say anything, just go to the square formation.

Personal encirclement!"

"Forcing him to shoot from the high post is our ultimate goal on the defensive end!"

Wilson asked: "What about Mitch (referring to Jordan)?"

"I really want to find any one of you to kill him, but obviously, this guy is tough. Benj tried it and it didn't work, so we have to put our heads together!"

Zhao Yuanzheng first made an opinion: "Mitch has not shot from the outside tonight. We can let him shoot three-pointers. If he has the touch, it will not be too late to go up and defend."

"Yes, let him shoot three-pointers!"

Tomjanovich also said: "Although our Jordan Rules occasionally fail, we still have to persist. This is the only proven strategy that can restrain him."

"Yes, we must also adhere to Jordan's Rules."

"At the same time, I will add one." Louis drew a center point within the three-point line on the tactical board. "Sometimes, if we have to choose to defend a player. Our purpose is to defend the fat guy under the basket and the center point."

When it comes to defending Mitch from a distance, these two are the key points and the core of the defense. Everything else can be left alone!"

"What about the attack?"

Ewing is a motivated gorilla. Everyone is talking about defense, but he is the only one who thinks about offense.

Louis looked at him meaningfully for more than ten seconds: "If you get your touch back, our offense will be alive."

This makes it sound like Ewing is solely responsible for the Knicks' offensive constipation.

But Louis does believe that if Ewing can play the advantage he deserves in the paint, the Blazers' defense will be rotten.

The Blazers' defense was so strong in the first half that they forced Wilson to take an unparalleled shot. The fundamental reason was that when Ewing received the ball inside, he was flanked and unable to attack. If this could be improved, the Blazers would really have no choice but to

Attack against attack.

If it cannot improve and lock Ewing away, the Knicks' outside offensive pressure will also increase.

Because everyone knows that this game cannot survive just by attacking from the outside.

Louis could tell that Ewing was worried.

And he knew that Ewing's worries were related to a man named Benjamin, who was 99.9999% his teammate.

Wilson's popularity was reaffirmed.

He also saw Wilson's ability to take over at critical moments.

Without him, Wilson recovered the 16-point deficit to 7 points.

He has always regarded himself as a leader, but when has he ever led a team to complete such a counterattack in the playoffs?

In his memory, not once.

In this case, if he calls himself a leader, will other teammates be convinced?

Most importantly, will Wilson be convinced?

He has to show off.

This thought invisibly increased his psychological burden. Ewing's first shot of the second half was a miss.

Louie roared: "When did Larry Nance's defense get so good? Can't you just hit the paint? Shoot the damn basket!"

Louis expected Ewing to make a magnificent turn in the second half.

But what he saw was that Ewing, a big man who is good at shooting, stretched his hips when the team needed him to attack tough situations.

This ancestral craft has been passed down from Chamberlain to Bob McAdoo for more than thirty years. In the future, more people will inherit this "career".

What makes Louis feel tired is that he doesn't know whether Ewing has softened his heart or made a mistake.

"I'm afraid it's impossible to expect him to get back into shape tonight." Louis said pessimistically.

Tomjanovich comforted: "There is still a lot of time, give him some patience."

What the coaching staff was waiting for was that Barkley went inside, knocked Ewing away, caused a foul, and scored 2+1.

Barkley was at his best tonight, and with the Knicks' big men coming in, he had endless confidence.

In this case, it is unrealistic to expect Ewing to guard him.

But he has messed up too many things, and now he is giving the other party additional penalties.

Louis didn't blame him for the defense, he was only angry that Ewing didn't step up offensively.

The Trail Blazers teamed up with the Flying Pigs to launch a ferocious offensive, which also led to the performance of the outside line.

Terry Porter, who had been working hard for five and a half games, finally made a three-pointer.

After Porter opened the scoring with a three-pointer, Jordan slowed down his personal offense and chose to distribute the ball more.

Two minutes later, Porter hit his second three-pointer.

The Trail Blazers led by 15 points.

Louie stopped the game.

He replaced Ewing and Ainge, who were not performing well. Looking at the high-spirited Trail Blazers, he turned to the players and said: "From now on, the whole court will press them!"

Without Reggie Williams, the Murderous Press is incomplete.

Anji is not in good condition yet, so it is important to find a replacement.

Louis used Wilson, Rodman, Stevens, and Kemp as the core, and then found Vernon Maxwell, who was equally fierce on defense, who stretched his hips against the Trail Blazers.

"We have to play a full-court press, not a murder press. Pay attention to the difference here. The main thing is to put pressure on them. At the same time, when they bring the ball to the front court, they have to get out of the way in the middle and wait for him to break through, left and right.

The players on the wings tighten the path and prevent them from going deep. As for the offensive end, everyone listens to Benj’s command!”

The Knicks' full-court press was unexpected, but its intensity was far lower than the murderous press.

It wasn't a problem for the Blazers past halftime.

This was a smoke screen. When Jordan dribbled in, the defense tightened instantly.

He passed the ball out and was intercepted.

In addition to defensive counterattacks, the Knicks' offense with this lineup is mainly based on mid-range shooting, because there are no shooters outside the three-point line except Wilson and Maxwell.

Mad Max was guarded by the Trail Blazers, and it was difficult for Wilson to find three-point opportunities except for pull-ups.

Therefore, mid-range is the answer to cracking the defense.

Trailing by double digits, it would take a miracle to come back with a mid-range shot.

Barkley was rarely surrounded, dropped the ball, and the Knicks counterattacked.

Jordan and Porter's three-pointers were inaccurate one after another, and there was another counterattack.

By counterattack alone, the Knicks brought the score back to 6 points, and the Trail Blazers requested a timeout.

This time, Ewing asked to come on the court. He couldn't sit on the sidelines and watch his teammates work hard.

His offense may be unwatchable tonight, but defense is a skill that will not betray oneself, so Louis agreed to let him play and replace Maxwell.

Louis is taking advantage of the existing conditions to maximize the team's strength.

On the defensive end, a large number of strikers are used to hold up chains, trenches and high walls.

The offensive core used simple and efficient mid-range guarantees, controlled mistakes, and used a large number of rotation defenses to counter the Trail Blazers' athletic talent, and then gradually spread to outside shooters led by Porter.

The Knicks have the best help defense + defensive resources + deadly mid-range shooters.

This is the reason why they chose to fight the Trail Blazers in a positional battle.

The defensive end is pure physical combat, confrontation and talent display.

On the offensive end, only mid-range is a reliable method, and only true superstars can stand up.

In the last few minutes of the fourth quarter, the gap between the two sides was only 5 points, but only Wilson could attack the Knicks, while the Trail Blazers had Jordan and Barkley.

Wilson scored 14 of the team's 19 points in the fourth quarter, while the Blazers scored 24 points in the fourth quarter alone with the Flying Pigs.

In the last two minutes, when the point difference was stretched to 14 points, Ewing found the feeling of playing inside, but it was too late.

Being out of shape at this time not only has no effect on boosting morale, but also feels like a waste time to refresh data.

New Yorkers eager to end the series tonight were disappointed.

109 to 100

The Trail Blazers escaped from death, defeated the Knicks, and left the Garden with a big score of 3-3, and had the opportunity to play the final battle two days later.

"Judging from historical records, the Trail Blazers are still in a disadvantageous situation." Bob Costas said objectively, "No team has ever won a tiebreaker on the road."

The tragedy man could only admire the performance of the Trail Blazers: "If there is a team that can do this, it is the Trail Blazers. They have MJ, they have Charles Barkley, and they have a whole talented team. They have everything. !”

Riley even announced with high spirits: "I guarantee all fans in the Far West region that the Trail Blazers will win the championship on June 14th!"

⑴ It cannot be completely said that Chamberlain is good at shooting. It is certain that he does not like confrontation. There are clues in countless game highlights. People who do not like confrontation and are so talented that their shooting skills cannot be blocked by anyone will be used to using shooting to solve problems. , this is also the player's inertia. At the same time, because his free throws are terrible, he will not hit the basket frequently because he is afraid of being fouled, and the opponents guarding him are also happy to see him shoot.

⑵The Far West includes Alaska, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon and Washington.
