The rest is just noise

"You can replace me before I even break a sweat..."

After Louis finished changing people, Ewing expressed his opinion.

Moreover, his emotional intelligence suddenly increased. Instead of being in front of his teammates, he secretly came to Louis and whispered.

"Why do you think I replaced you?"

"I didn't play well."

"Uncle Ewing, you are really smart." Louis asked with a smile, "Then do you have any questions? Go back and sit down. I'll let you play later."

Ewing's old face showed shyness, "Don't call me uncle, don't you think you are 2 years older than me?"

"Vulgar, what you are talking about is just biological age. Judging from our looks, even if I tell others that you are my uncle, some people will believe it."

"Aren't you judging people by their appearance?"

Louis said funnyly: "What you said, when did I stop judging people by their appearance?"

Clippers' home announcer Ralph Lawler introduced Yu Tiancan to their fans: "Harold Yu is not only the future of New York professional basketball, but also the future of Chinese basketball. He has a 7-foot

2 inches tall, as highly anticipated as Shaquille O'Neal and Alonzo Mourning."

Yu Tiancan's instructions were to protect the basket, stay in position, high-post pick-and-rolls and screens.

In terms of offense, Louis did not explain too much and just let Yu Tiancan take care of it.

Yu Tiancan looks like a fool, but he is actually very measured in his actions.

After coming on the court, he first greeted Kemp: "Ken (nickname), you can attack without worry, I will protect the basket."

Then, he spoke to Miller, who usually took good care of him.

"I'm going to use my super, super reliable back screen to get you a shot."

After listening to the music, Miller raised his hand and touched Yu Tiancan's butt.

"You're a rookie, thank God for not holding us back, what else do you want to do!"

Wilson made an extra free throw, 4-4.

From the outside, Drexler dribbled the ball, and Olajuwon stepped forward to screen for him.

However, the shortcoming of the glider's poor long-range shooting was severely exploited by Wilson.

Wilson retreated decisively. Although Olajuwon's pass was sharp, Kemp's defensive positioning was even more exquisite.

Dameng's steps were like a dream, but Kemp's defense didn't give him a chance.

He saw through Da Meng's footsteps, leaving his opponent with no choice but to rely on step-back shots to force the attack.

"boom!"

Yu Tiancan fought hard against Mutombo, and rebounding was actually not his strength.

Insiders who are over 2.2 meters tall have a very good rebounding rate in the NBA, and they are as rare as a handful.

This is counter-intuitive, because it is common sense that the taller you are, the easier it is to rebound, but this is not the case in high-level games.

Yu Tiancan knows very well what his position is, which is to block his opponent.

He doesn't need rebounds, and neither can his opponent.

Mutombo was pushed behind him, making it difficult for him to do anything. Kemp turned around and grabbed the defensive rebound. The ball was given to Stockton. Wilson ran quickly, and the Knicks' counterattack was immediately completed.

6 to 4

After reading this, Louis' mind was set.

For other modern teams, the Clippers' lineup is enough to make most teams despair.

Olajuwon and Mutombo symbolize the unsolvable penalty area defense. If you want to defeat them, you must either use a mid-range shot or the unreasonable rim dominance of Barkley or O'Neal.

At the same time, Olajuwon and Mutombo's advantage under the basket will also create many counterattack opportunities for Drexler and Sprewell.

The athletic talents of these two people will be maximized.

Falling into a positional battle, the lack of offensive capabilities of Drexler and Mutombo will be made up for by Olajuwon.

If Olajuwon is double-teamed, Sprewell is a reliable second choice.

The Clippers' offensive and defensive strength is among the best in the league.

As long as you don't meet the Knicks, there will be no problem.

But tonight, their opponent is the Knicks, a team that has absorbed the concept of the future.

They will use outside shots to punish big men like Olajuwon and Mutombo who don't like to defend beyond the three-point line.

There is a sophisticated N.UCLA system to create a large number of mid-range investment opportunities.

As soon as the Knicks shot opened, Olajuwon and Mutombo had to run out of the penalty area to defend no matter how unwilling they were.

If they leave the basket, the Knicks can penetrate their penalty area by passing the ball.

This is a chain plan.

For the chain plan to work, first, both Wilson and Miller have to open.

Therefore, when a new counterattack started, Stockton passed the ball to Wilson, but he hoped that the young core player would not be too hot-headed and pay attention to Miller's position.

Miller has gone to his hot zone.

Maybe I should pass the ball later and wait until Miller is in position to give him the ball.

In Stockton's eyes, Wilson is an immature player who cannot be compared with Ewing.

It's a good thing that Louis isn't a mind reader, otherwise he would have really bought Stockton a drink and discussed how he decided that Benj was not as mature as the gorilla.

There may still be some controversy as to which of the two is the boss of the team, after all, the Gorillas sometimes fail to live up to their expectations.

But when it comes to who is more mature, Louis doesn't think there should be any controversy on this matter.

Any controversy would be disrespectful to Ewing's emotional intelligence, which fluctuates like an ocean wave.

As a result, Wilson, who in Stockton's eyes was more immature than Ewing, attracted the Clippers' defense and passed the ball with his left hand coquettishly to Miller on the outside.

Miller excitedly shot a three-pointer.

9 to 4

"You can actually see where I am!"

Miller looked surprised, as if Wilson had poor court vision.

Stockton said with satisfaction: "Good pass, Benjamin."

Wilson and he were never close because he was always an Ewing faction.

Even if they belong to different camps, they must work together as long as they play on the court. This is also a tacit understanding between them.

"Xiao Yu, pay attention to the bottom line!"

Louis reminded Yu Tiancan in Mandarin.

"Of course, you can pretend that you don't care about the bottom line."

"good idea!"

Yu Tiancan nodded in agreement.

"Can't you speak the international language?" Ewing complained.

He thought Louis was teaching Yu Tiancan some defensive secrets.

"Can't you just rest peacefully on the sidelines?" Louis said impatiently.

Because Ewing was replaced too early, he couldn't vent a lot of his energy, so he was foul-mouthed.

The more he behaves like this, the less Louis can let him play.

If you don’t have the patience to sit on the bench, how can you face the Clippers Twin Towers?

With how clear-headed Ewing is now, if he is allowed to play, he will definitely continue to challenge the defense of Olajuwon and Mutombo for the ball.

The Clippers' penalty area is not like that of the Trail Blazers in last season's finals. They really let Ewing play. Giving away 10 blocks in a game was a conservative estimate.

But it was said that Yu Tiancan listened to Louis' suggestion and found Sprewell standing in the bottom corner waiting for an opportunity.

He pretended not to look at the bottom corner.

Yu Tiancan's reckless defensive position made Sprewell think he had found an opportunity for a sneak attack. He ducked down like a predator lurking in the jungle, approaching quietly. Suddenly, he accelerated.

What happened one second later was like a horror movie to Sprewell.

Yu Tiancan, who had completely ignored him before, suddenly locked onto him like an intercontinental missile.

Sprewell's backdoor plan failed, but his teammate's ball came to him.

It was a lob pass, and they wanted to give Sprewell an alley-oop opportunity.

Yu Tiancan reacted and intercepted the ball with his height and amazing elasticity for the same height.

"Yu's jumping height is really amazing for a player of his height!"

"He is China's Ralph Sampson."

American announcers don't always talk nonsense. In his previous life, he even heard a commentator say that Zhang Zhenlin is China's magician just because he sent a ground pass during the game...

Yu Tiancan intercepted the Clippers' pass and passed it to Stockton immediately.

The Clippers retreated in time and failed to push back on the counterattack.

In a positional battle, Miller's presence stretched the Clippers' defense.

Wilson was on the opposite corner, leaving almost everyone on the Clippers one-on-one, and it was difficult to count on teammates to help.

Because the Knicks' shooting threat is too terrifying.

"Fight if you want, I'll give you this chance!" Miller asked Yu Tiancan, who was about to cover for him, to return to the low post.

Yu Tiancan was naturally overjoyed.

"Reggie, you are my superman!"

Yu Tiancan was pleasantly surprised and came to the low post to resist Mutombo.

"What kind of fun is this?"

Letting Yu Tiancan play in the low post is different from Louis' idea.

This is due to the player's on-the-spot psychology. Yu Tiancan is a No. 4 pick. It would be a lie to say that he does not regard himself as the core. It's just that there are too many strong people in the Knicks team, so he can only temporarily regard himself as a role player.

.

If there is an opportunity to compete with an opponent like Mutombo, he will not let it go.

The teammates pulled away from each other and Stockton passed the ball.

This is a good one-on-one opportunity. If you get in, it means you have strong personal ability. If you don't get in, it's because of lack of personal ability.

Yu Tiancan wanted to play Mutombo in isolation, and his teammates gave him a chance, but at the same time they were all ready to rush for offensive rebounds.

Kemp is already in position.

Wilson was ready to go.

As a result, Yu Tiancan's back slap was so rough that Louis was speechless.

Wake Forest University helped him improve a lot of basic inside skills. He has all the skills he should know, but he is not very good when encountering tough situations.

Moreover, the sense of coordination and ball sense are both given by God and cannot be forced.

Yu Tiancan finished a set of techniques, turned around and faced the basket, preparing for the hook.

He did not hold up Mutombo's body. Fortunately, the rough technical movements contained murderous intent that even the mountains of Africa could not understand - Yu Tiancan's left elbow originally wanted to press against Mutombo's body as a support.

However, he did not find a suitable landing point.

So, he could only find a place to land.

This is not good and can cause accidental injury.

Without any precautions, Mutombo unknowingly caught Yu Tiancan's elbow with his face. In an instant, blood flowed out from his nose.

Mutombo only felt bitter and bitter. Yu Tiancan, who was unaware of his opponent's suffering, gently put the ball into the basket.

When he turned his attention to Mutombo and saw that the opponent's nose was bleeding, that scene——

"Oh my God, what's going on?" the murderer shouted in horror.
