The rest is just noise

The first defense was unsuccessful.

Rodman looked at Louis, wondering if he should change his strategy.

Louis never judges the effectiveness of a plan based on the success or failure of a round.

Louis motioned for Rodman to continue.

Mohamed Rauf arrived in the frontcourt and Thomas continued to trash talk him.

As a result, Rauf, who has always been taciturn, responded to him: "Now I know why Coach Lu only coached you for one year and then came to New York. Maybe it was because he had had enough of you?"

"Shut your stupid mouth!" Thomas said he would fall out whenever he wanted. Maybe the nickname "Glass Heart Assassin" suits him better. "What the hell do you know?"

Rauf dribbles the ball.

"I played under Coach Lu and I know everything."

After that, the Knicks' pick-and-roll also came forward.

As Louis' best "student", Riley completely learned the essence.

When encountering this kind of outside pick-and-roll, the defensive personnel must stand back and not give the opponent a chance to break through with the ball - this is exactly how the Knicks dealt with the Trail Blazers.

Because they couldn't find a few reliable three-pointers as a team.

Therefore, the Knicks must go behind when defending the pick-and-roll, and are not afraid of the opponent's shots at all.

But the pick-and-roll offense against Raouf chooses to go behind?

This is somewhat dogmatic.

It’s not like the Blazers haven’t experienced Rauf’s three-pointers before. Unless they feel that Rauf has changed his playing style after changing his name, there are only two explanations for this kind of response-Riley’s negligence, or Barkley’s illness.

Riley is not a "student" who memorizes by rote. He is very spiritual, learns from the best, and is always ready to beat the master to death with random punches.

So the answer is simple: Barkley is ill.

However, Riley couldn't say anything to the sick Barkley, because the opponent was a superstar and had his own privileges. If he was willing to listen to him and run from the basket to the outside to defend the opponent's pick-and-roll attack, he was already given a huge advantage.

He has lost face, so forget it if he is not well guarded. It is impossible to scold him. He is not Anthony Mason.

Rauf made a hollow three-pointer.

He shook his shoulders gently and said without looking back: "Isaiah, God will forgive you for the sin of making noise."

"qnmd!"

"Is he being possessed by a country bumpkin?" Louis was excited to see the excitement.

Thomas glared at Louis.

He suspected that this bastard Raouf was specially sent by Louis to make him angry.

However, it is recognized by the league that Rauf has a mental problem. If he wants to provoke others, it seems that Louis is not to blame.

The more Thomas thought about it, the angrier he became. If he didn't call Rauf to fight, others would really think that he had no temper.

"You're dead!" Thomas said with red eyes.

Raouf looked blank: "I believe God has prepared a resting place for me."

"qnmd!"

It was an accident that Thomas was so angry that he cursed. After that, he wanted to challenge Rauf alone.

Because he already knows that if the pick-and-roll is called, the Knicks will switch defense immediately.

Is he working so hard to call a pick-and-roll man to change his defensive target to a three-time DPOY?

The person who originally offended him was also Rauf.

Therefore, Thomas's approach was to wave his teammates away.

This makes another mistake.

Since Thomas' debut, most of his teammates have three-point ability, so when he lets people open up, those guys can really open up the space.

The same offensive method will not work in the Trail Blazers, because after this team lost Terry Porter, the entire team only has two and a half stable and reliable three-pointers.

One is Jordan, who is taking a rest.

One is Sabonis, who also took a break.

The remaining half is Jerome Cauchy, who is the type who can shoot but is unstable.

With such quality as a shooter, do you still want to play in singles?

"Benj, pinch him!"

Louie yelled.

As soon as the words fell, Wilson immediately let go of his defense on Cauchy, surrounded Thomas from the left, and Rauf immediately used his strength to press forward.

The actions are rough and the methods are cruel.

To put it bluntly, the physical confrontation Wilson gave Thomas was a foul.

A mature superstar should learn how to take advantage of the referee's indulgence.

Wilson has grown a lot. He is not as easy to get into trouble as Ewing. He has a right and evil way. As long as it can help him win, it is a good way.

Thomas dropped the ball and Rauf copied it.

In less than a second, the momentum reversed.

Wilson was going down like the wind, and Rauf started to play.

He looked like he was going to dribble and score a layup. Wilson did not slow down, naively thinking that the ball would still be passed to him.

As a result, naive onlookers judge people by their appearance.

Greed was also part of Rauf's performance, as he jumped up and threw the ball into the air from under his crotch.

Wilson took off in the relay behind him.

He grabbed the ball with one hand, and the height of his right hand had already exceeded the height of the basket. He did not add any other extra work, but just moved from high to low, using all his strength to smash the ball into the basket.

This scene is exciting enough.

msg is excited about it.

Louis smiled and asked: "Mar, you are so showy, does Allah know?"

Although Raouf has the phenomenon of convert fanaticism, his religious beliefs have undoubtedly made him a more interesting person.

In the past, he wouldn't have picked up on Louis' jokes.

Today, he replied: "It was God who told me to do this."

Thomas said unhappily: "I've had enough of your shenanigans!"

"This isn't some trick, it's just an ordinary double-team. Without Fat Larry, you can't even understand double-teaming. It's really sad."

Such harsh words certainly did not come from Rauf.

The man who inspired Thomas was Benjamin Wilson.

Although he is Louis' white moonlight, in the eyes of his opponents, Benj is more like the antonym of that word - he is the black whirlwind.

"You idiot, what do you know? Without Louis, you are nothing! You are just a good dog on his hand!"

Today may be the day when the coffin of the "Glass Heart Assassin" is finalized.

Hearing this, Wilson was just stunned.

He didn't answer Thomas because the Blazers came over.

Thomas recognized the reality that the Trail Blazers' positioning space was unable to allow people to play singles comfortably, and continued to call pick-and-rolls. Anyway, he had just thrown a ball over Rodman's head to score.

The pick-and-roll appeared again, and Rodman made a smart move.

He saw Wilson double-teaming Thomas and using so much strength without being called a foul. As one of the most famous players in the league, Madonna's boyfriend, a nationally recognized bad boy, and the number one bad dog of the New York gang, the three

The winner of the 1st DPOY—he should have no problem treating Thomas like this, right?

What kind of loser is Thomas? He is nothing without Bird and Sampson!

Rodman arrogantly believed that Thomas did not have a star whistle, so he wanted to do whatever he wanted.

As a result, his defense was so rough that even tonight's referee Jack Nice couldn't pardon him for Louie's sake.

"Beep!"

"What's the situation? What's the situation?" Rodman turned around and glared at the referee, "Are you fucking looking at someone? Is this considered a foul? We are a basketball game, not a volleyball game. Can't there be any confrontation at all?"

Nice said angrily: "Is that a confrontation?"

"Am I not confrontational?" It was rare to encounter a referee who was "willing to communicate", and Rodman's performance personality was activated.

As everyone knows, Nice’s ability to endure until now is entirely because of Louis.

"Dennis, shut up!" Louis knew that the fool was going to make a fool of himself.

"Coach, I'm really fighting!"

"You're fighting against your mother!"

"If the referee allows me to fight, what will happen if I don't have a mother!" Anyway, his mother doesn't want him anymore.

Louis nodded to Nice and allowed him to take advantage of it.

Nice immediately called Rodman a just technical foul.

"Are you fucking serious? Why did I get a technical foul? Do you think that just because you are the referee, you can do whatever you want?" Rodman's rationality gradually disappeared and he began to make all kinds of rude remarks until Nice gave him a second technical foul.

In his rage, he actually hit Nice with his head.

Nice was knocked to the ground by this iron head move.

The scene became chaotic.

Wilson used a Laimbeer style chokehold on Rodman and pushed him to the ground, while several other teammates stepped forward.

Someone stuffed Rodman's mouth with a towel, Wilson held his hands, Yu Tiancan pulled up his feet, Miller held up his back, and forcibly took Rodman out of the court.

"This is the funniest scene I have ever seen in my live streaming career!"

NBA commentators happily recalled how Rodman was comically carried off the court by his teammates.

It took the referee Jack Nice, who did nothing wrong the whole time and was headbutted by Rodman, to recover for a while.

"Jack, are you okay?" Louis asked with concern.

Nice avoided Louis' eyes and said sincerely: "Your players are so lawless!"

"Don't worry, I will discipline that bastard well."

The story of Louis and Nice goes back five years.

In Salt Lake City at the time, Louis was expelled from Nice for being too drunk.

Coaching is a very demanding job, so it makes no sense for Nice to expel Louis.

Of course, Louis refused to give up and wanted to make things worse.

Ness was worried that he would become the second Jack Madden (the man who was defeated by the coach's punch), so he played a wild card: I am depressed, don't care.

In this era when Americans generally have insufficient understanding of depression, this disease is almost equated with mental illness.

Will the league continue to employ mentally ill law enforcement? The answer is obvious.

Later, after Louis calmed down, he took the initiative to find Nice to reconcile, and he wanted to stand on the moral high ground to make the other party feel guilty.

Just look at the way Nice treats the Knicks players with no dignity as a referee, you know that Coach Lu has achieved his goal.

Let Nice send off Rodman not only to save the opponent's face, but also to continue to let the opponent have a feeling of "Coach Lu is such a good person, how could I do this to his players? Didn't Rodman just do it in front of the whole country?"

Do you want to fuck my family with millions of people pointing their noses in the face or verbally?" The debt mentality.
