The rest is just noise

Chris Jackson is a relentless output machine.

He has the same unlimited firing rights as Wilson, which is something many people in the team want but can't get.

Louis' preference for him often made others jealous.

CJ was not very stable last season, but this season, he has completely proved his ability.

Excluding this game, he currently averages 15 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists per game, and averages 20 minutes per game. As Stockton's substitute, he has produced starting-level data in a limited time.

Tonight, facing a hellish away game, CJ chose a more intense way to respond.

He played so well that Louis forgot Stockton was sitting off the court.

Louis just wants CJ to keep playing like this and shut up the Clippers fans.

On the other side, the Clippers' counterattack was not weak. Drexler used his physical strength several times to forcefully attack the basket and score, showing the style of Dr. J.

After Olajuwon found the feeling of attacking in the low post, Ewing's defense was also a display in front of him.

The stable performance of these two people allowed the Clippers to firmly hold on to the game and not be played in garbage time by the Knicks.

In terms of strength, the Clippers have the ability to make the game anxious.

But if we only rely on big dreams and gliders, we can't break the balance.

As a player recommended by Louis, Sprewell has already been firmly established as the Clippers starter and is regarded by Monroe as the future core.

Those problems he had off the court did not reappear after entering the NBA.

Playing Wilson tonight is a test for Sprewell.

In the second half, Sprewell once again defended Wilson alone.

Madman's experience is still immature. According to his defensive habits, he gave Wilson the opportunity to start from the left hand.

According to general defensive experience, placing a right-handed player on the left will affect his offensive efficiency to a certain extent.

However, the player he was guarding was named Wilson, and the opponent had balanced movement control ability with both hands.

Since Sprewell gave him a loophole, he stepped in freely.

From the Clippers' perspective, Sprewell was penetrated too easily by Wilson.

Seeing this, Olajuwon could only step forward as quickly as possible to help defend - however, the person he let go was Kemp.

Wilson hit the ball and passed, and Kemp caught the ball and dunked.

In the next round, Sprewell chose to release Wilson's right hand.

This is true suicide.

On the Clippers' right wing, only Drexler could help defend. As a helper, Glider's defense was unreliable. His defensive timing was clumsy and flawed, and Wilson found Miller in the corner.

Now he is already an excellent organization forward. While holding the ball, he can find the openings in the bottom corners in the main direction of attack. He will also attract the opponent's inside defense to create opportunities for the inside. At the same time, his left hand can help the right bottom corner.

His ability to pass the ball from the corner has been greatly enhanced, and his ability to pass the ball to the left with his right hand is already a specialty of right-handed players like him.

As a point forward, his passing ability can be considered S-level.

The Clippers couldn't find anyone who could match up with him.

This is not the Clippers' fault. Sprewell is too young. Looking at the entire league, the only player who can compete with Wilson on both offense and defense is Jordan.

The Clippers have too many problems on the defensive end.

Judging from the data, although Van Gundy followed Louis for two years, he obviously did not learn the essence.

Although his emphasis on three-pointers has obviously increased, on the defensive end, shooting three-pointers is still one of the options in his eyes.

Under the leadership of Van Gundy, the Clippers ranked 24th, 22nd, and 23rd in the league in terms of defense against three-pointers at the top of the arc and three-pointers in the left and right corners respectively.

Van Gundy's disregard for three-pointers cannot be said to be unreasonable. Except for the Knicks and Warriors, no team can rely on three-pointers to kill people. On the defensive end, they have Harper, Sprewell, Drexler, and Ola.

Juwang and Mutombo, these five strikers with strong athletic ability, height and long arms, can indeed allow their opponents to shoot three-pointers while interfering with every shot inside the three-point line as much as possible, but this move

It doesn't work for the Knicks.

After being beaten by Wilson and CJ in the first half, Van Gundy adjusted his defense.

He recognized the strong three-point threat of the Knicks, but he was also very realistic and knew that the Clippers could not guard all three-pointers, so they still had to make trade-offs on the defensive end.

As a result, they did not make the right choice in distinguishing between players who should be shorted and players who should not be shorted.

For example, they will let go of CJ, who is the most terrifying shooter the Knicks have today.

They'll still let Miller go, but isn't Miller the Knicks' best shooter?

After that, they let go of Reggie Williams and Wilson one after another. When others shot away, this feeling would be conveyed, so Williams and Wilson followed suit.

Louis could tell that Van Gundy didn't tell Sprewell who to short, because it seemed like the Knicks couldn't short anyone, so he let Sprewell decide on his own.

It can be clearly seen that Sprewell lacked experience as a young player and made many wrong defensive choices.

There are only two principles for letting the opponent's unstable shooter go. Either stick to the end and believe that he will not score a single goal. Or, after he scores a few goals, treat him as a normal shooter.

On this issue, Sprewell and others are like scumbags who have their feet in multiple boats, swaying and jumping back and forth.

This kind of person will definitely end up as a lone wolf when playing "The Witcher".

It's hard to use the word bad to describe the Clippers' defense, because Sprewell does have the potential to be a big outside lock, but he just didn't happen to meet Wilson. And except for Sprewell, the Clippers' inside line is strong.

The inside defense of Rajuwon and Mutombo is the best in history in Louis' eyes.

Unless the Knicks have Ewing, Kemp and Rodman on the court at the same time, there should be no duo in NBA history who is better at protecting the rim than Omu.

Maybe Chamberlain and Nate Thurmond can get there?

Who knows.

The strength of the Clippers is not only due to Big Dream and Glider. Mutombo and Sprewell are both young and need time to grow. Overall, there is no doubt that the Clippers are the top three defensive teams in the Western Conference.

In the fourth quarter, the Clippers held on and dragged the game to the end.

109 to 102

Olajuwon's explosion in the second half overwhelmed the Knicks' inside line.

Although he lost, he won Louis' approval.

Olajuwon, who has good teammates, deserves to be treated with caution.

Louis just doesn't understand why Dameng can regain his calm while he also believes in YSL, but Chris Jackson gains more anger?

"I promise the fans that we will win the showdown with the Knicks next time." Olajuwon said solemnly.

For the Knicks, the inside performance was uniformly poor.

Rodman looked the brightest with 4 points and 20 rebounds. Others like Ewing and Kemp were all beaten stupidly by Olajuwon.

What allows the Knicks to win is the perimeter.

The first contributor was CJ. He scored 31 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in a hot state, making Stockton sit on the bench for a long time.

Next is the stable Wilson.

If only CJ exerts his strength, it will be difficult for the Knicks to win because the inside line will be blown up.

What's the outcome when the inside is blown and the outside becomes violent? Sometimes it's the Lakers in the Tragedy Era, sometimes it's the Trail Blazers in the 1992 Finals.

The more people who work hard, the more chances of winning.

Wilson scored 26 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists.

When facing reporters, he joked: "My team's scoring title is still safe."

What happened to Chris Jackson was not so harmonious.

"CJ, do you really think any good can come of that radicalism?"

"Being aggressive is not a bad thing for me." Jackson was still calm at this time, "My style of play has always been very aggressive."

So, a reporter took out a photo and showed it to him.

It was a ruins and a man lying in a pool of blood.

“This is what activists are doing in Los Angeles, and you think it’s a ‘good thing’?”

What Jackson said next frightened Louis.

"Do you think that when the riots occurred in Los Angeles, those who were vandalizing and looting and those who stood for fairness and justice were the same group of people?"

Louis secretly kicked him to signal him to shut up.

"CJ, what do you want to say?"

"What do I want to say? It's very simple!"

Jackson no longer takes external public opinion seriously and, as Louis said, "faces the evil head-on."

If Louis could control him, he would let Jackson know that his so-called "confrontation" was not this kind of confrontation.

It's too violent, too decisive, and it leaves no room for retreat.

"There are good people and bad people in any group. Everywhere in the world, as long as there are people, they can see both sides in the mirror. I never said that I support the violence of activists. What I support is their fight for Mlm."

Their legitimate rights and interests as a person, Americans always self-righteously believe that the United States is saving the world, but on the street, if Mrm appears, everyone will regard him as a rioter, and some will even impose those shameful violent incidents on

To him, to make him suffer. To me, that's ridiculous."

Louis didn't dare to provoke him any more.

What would happen if Jackson openly became ill in front of reporters and uncontrollably used all kinds of profanity?

Not wanting Jackson to make a big deal out of it—it was already big enough—Louis had his publicist end the press conference.

He and Jackson then quickly left the media room.

Like a pair of deserters.
