The Rest, Only Noise

Hornacek will play more at the 2 until Dale Ellis returns.

A player like him who is destined to be a talent, as long as he is not put into a role beyond his ability, he will not disappoint.

In the Knicks, Hornacek mainly served as Stockton's backup most of the time. When the second position was in a hurry, he could swing flexibly with one-handed shooting and smart moves.

That's why Louie loves swinging people.

The Knicks' requirements for guards are two points. They can play tactics with the ball, or catch the ball and shoot open three-pointers.

That's what Hornacek is good at, debuting with the Knicks and getting his 3-point shot to a very high level earlier than another version of him.

In the team's scrims, Hornacek's two-point open corner three-pointer is worth paying attention to - almost never misses.

The lineup of Stockton, Hornacek, Stevens, McHale and Oakley is a typical 4OUT team. If Oakley's shooting range can extend beyond the free throw line, he can also go to 5OUT. But after all, in the 1980s, Louie would ask players to expand their range, but would not force them to shoot threes against the trend of the times.

Just go with the flow.

Hornacek was ignored by the Pistons' defense, and he used a 3-for-2 3-pointer to make Daly point out: "Who the **** is that white guy in the bottom corner defending? Don't miss it again!"

Wilson is not present, and the Knicks lack a big ball-handling core who can call out the opponent's defensive loopholes or play misplaced at any time, but the core of the 45OUT lineup is the ultimate space.

Four or five players are all stuck in high positions and use shooting threats to call everyone out, and then use tactics to create shooting or breakthrough opportunities.

When Stockton faced Dumars, Louie thought he would suffer, but the result was unexpected.

Dumars didn't show much of an advantage against Stockton.

Even without the pick-and-roll, Dumars won't be easy to guard against Stockton's drive.

Stockton rarely breaks in the Knicks because Louie doesn't need him. It was only during the intra-team matchup that Louis could see Stockton's daring breakthrough with the ball.

There are two characteristics of his breakthroughs. There is no super explosive start-up speed, and there is no complicated and changeable rhythm, but every step is solid and steady. Once his breakthrough takes away the defensive position, it will be difficult to regain it. , which is related to his second breakthrough feature.

His breakthroughs are accompanied by a lot of hand movement, and he likes to lift his elbows and shoot anywhere on the opponent when confronting defenders.

Against Dumars today, his method is to use his feet as a supplement and his elbows as the main method.

He's a very dirty player.

Stockton took the trouble to dribble the pass to Hornacek, and after Hornacek performed the second dribble break, passed again.

Space is constantly being pulled.

Stevens finds opportunities in all the chaos, making cuts, catches, dunks.

The Knicks have different finishers from possession to possession, and all five players on the floor can be scorers.

The same tactical core, which also concentrated the players in high positions to force the Pistons to leave the basket to create a vacuum in the penalty area. The Wilson-centered 45OUT and the Stocktons-centered 45OUT played two games with completely different concepts.

4 minutes after the second quarter, 45 to 30.

The situation was critical, and Daly requested a time-out.

The Knicks have progressed beyond imagination, and the team had a juvenile feel everywhere last season, even though they had a league-leading record. But if they meet in the playoffs, Daly is sure to win.

However, now it is different.

The growth rate of the young man is faster than he expected. Whether it is the starting five or the second team, the Knicks have no dead ends.

It was at this point that Louis began to revive.

He chose to play in this lineup: Stockton, Hornacek, Miller, Wilson, Brad Rohos.

You only saw this kind of starter in the small ball era.

"The Knicks have only one inside post now, and Brad Rohos is just a rookie, inexperienced and soft!" Pistons home announcer Ernie Harvey said optimistically.

However, the Knicks opponents are not optimistic at all.

Daly said to Dumars: "Give the ball to Adrian! Let him open the game!"

Dumars has doubts about this: "Will AD (Dantley) pass the ball?"

The Knicks actually want to use such a lineup, so when the Pistons attack the strong point, double-teaming must be their only way to stop the attack.

Dumars' Death Question - Will Dantley pass the ball?

Daly had the answer in his mind, but he didn't say it.

"Ignore this for now!" Daly said. "It's important to stabilize the situation first!"

Everyone on earth knows that Dantley can't pass the ball.

He is as obsessed with offense as some stars are with the finale.

Dantley is really invincible in the low post, and no one in the Knicks can guard him.

Moreover, he is not as independent as Daley imagined. If the Pistons double-team more than two people, he will still pass the ball.

The problem seems to be no longer whether Dantley can pass or not, but whether his teammates can grasp Dantley's passing.

In the second half of the second quarter, Dantley had several rounds in which he directly found his teammates in the bottom corner when he was pinched. Daly would be happy if Ilo was in the bottom corner. But unfortunately not, the person standing there is Dumas.

Dumars has the ability to make three-pointers, but the three-pointer from the bottom corner is exactly his cold zone.

Daly looked at the Knicks defense and felt there was some conspiracy involved.

Dantley always gets the ball in the same spot, and to cover him, Dumars has to go to the corner for a penalty stand. But Dumars' corner three-pointer was inaccurate, so Stockton didn't hesitate when he attacked.

Daly couldn't believe that the Knicks could do this. It was just enough for Dantley to catch the ball in a special position, and it was just right to keep Dumars in the corner and couldn't move, and just knew that Dumars could not move. A 3-pointer made in that spot... Daly panicked, is it all coincidence if there's so much "just right"? How many rounds in a row are the same?

Dantley made mistakes one after another, and it didn't appear when he was pinched - Dantley's ability to protect the ball and the basic ability to shoot the ball were no problem. But the Knicks have definitely done research on the Pistons' offense, and Miller and Hornacek will always be in a **** position to cut the pass.

After all, Dantley is not a magician, and it is unrealistic to expect him to pass a safe ball when he is pinched.

So weird.

Just like two people playing cards, one is playing cards without knowing it, Daly feels that every move of the Pistons is under Louie's grasp.

Especially Dantley's bizarre offense.

The Knicks didn't defend Dantley every time they defended. Sometimes their flanking failed, and sometimes they couldn't even flank Dantley. This round is like a candy for a kid.

Invisibly, they gave Dantley some hints.

Come on, just play like that, you're the best.

When Daly reacted, the Pistons lost 20 points.

Dantley succeeds in substituting an artificial situation.

"If I didn't play well, it was because my teammates were too rubbish."

After all, he attracts so many defenses by himself, and also creates open shots for his teammates. He also passed the ball. You all know that he doesn't like passing the ball, but what if he passed the ball this time? Did it have a good result? Don't these bad results just show that he was right not to pass the ball before.

Daly asked for a time-out in panic.

54 to 34

For the Knicks, Hornacek admired Louis' scheduling: "Coach, as you said, they will only give Dantley singles, and Dumars stands in the bottom corner every time."

Louie smiled, there was nothing to be proud of.

But it is some careful research on the Pistons, combined with the targeted defense of the opponent's lineup.

And this is not Louie’s idea alone. Zhao Yuanzheng believes that the Pistons will strengthen the low-post attack. Phil Jackson provided a set of key data: Dumars’ bottom three-point rate is only 18%.

Based on the suggestions they gave, Louis launched a bold lineup. On the bright side, it seemed that he was ahead too much, and he was overwhelmed. It is uncertain whether it will lose, but the next game is definitely not easy to play.

Louis replaced Hornacek and replaced Ewing to provide rebounding and defensive protection.

At this point, there is not much room for the piston to adjust.

Their next play is nothing more than that - the timeout is over, and as expected, Daly decided to drown the Knicks offense with the four majors of Dumars, Worthy, Mahon, Parish, and Malone. with defense.

This kind of lineup is only possible in the era of big balls.

Because there aren't many 3-pointers at this point, teams don't have enough shooters to punish the Pistons' inside team. Therefore, their frontcourt lineup will bring considerable court pressure.

But this kind of unreasonable mindless body suppressing the flow can only deal with those teams that are not shooting and not inside the line.

The Knicks' team with a combination of sudden shots, a mature offensive system, a balanced shot distribution and a highly modern concept is the nemesis of the Pistons.

Chuck Daly and the Pistons quickly learned that it might not be a smart thing for them to blindly target the Celtics.

In addition to the Celtics, and the Knicks.

They were all about taking on the Celtics and forming an amazing frontcourt -- the general direction was wrong -- but looking back, there was another emerging superteam in the East.

The style of play and style of play are just right to restrain the Pistons.

Before the end of the second quarter, the Knicks' shooting rain, coupled with Ewing's defense and rebounding, kept the team from being rebounded -- the Pistons trailed by 26 points at halftime.
