The Rest, Only Noise

"I'm tired of seeing MJ making consecutive three-pointers at a forty-five-degree angle on the right. If he insists on shooting three-pointers there, I can only assume that it is his best three-point shooting area." The focus of Louis's suspension It is to limit Jordan's three-point shooting. "Considering that he was not a good outside shooter before, I have reason to believe that the 45-degree angle on the right is the result of his summer training, so, what we will do next It's simple from a basketball standpoint."

The timeout ended and Jordan's performance from the three-point line was surprising, but the Blazers' problems weren't resolved.

Stockton dribbled the top of the arc, Miller moved, Wilson first screened for his teammates, and then opened to the free throw line to catch the ball.

If Rick Schmitz can follow, Wilson may not be able to shoot so easily.

But Schmitz's size limited his range of movement, and he could only watch Wilson shoot from the paint.

14 to 10

Louie couldn't help laughing when he heard Pitino's roar.

Pitino's culling system is centered on switching, but he has a player on the court who is impossible to switch, but the Knicks' system is about your switching.

As long as the Blazers insist on using Schmitz to ensure the advantage in the interior, the problem of Schmitz's inability to switch out on the defensive end cannot be solved.

The success of the Knicks offense was expected by Louis, but defense is the key.

Jordan made a 3-pointer, he had a good touch, and Terry Porter wanted him to keep it going.

But when the ball was passed to Jordan, it was not Wilson, but Rodman who was responsible for defending Jordan.

Moreover, Rodman's defense was riddled with disrespect for Jordan's left hand.

The two defensive strategies of blocking the middle and placing the side or blocking the side and placing the middle often depend on whether the attacker is left-handed or right-handed. Sometimes, it will be adjusted according to the defensive strategy.

But no matter which strategy it is, it will not go to extremes.

Defending your left hand will also take care of your right hand, but the focus is on the left hand, and vice versa. But the defense that Rodman is doing now is to put 100% of the defense focus on Jordan's right hand, leaving his left hand empty, allowing Jordan to break through.

"You are courting death!" Jordan snorted coldly.

Rodman frantically said, "Our coaches can't go wrong!"

Jordan is determined to prove Louie's strategy wrong. As early as when he first entered the league, a scout said he couldn't use his left hand. He has proved this to be a rumor. Louie's choice of this strategy now offends Mr. Trapeze.

I saw Jordan's first step, like a bolt of lightning hitting Rodman's side, directly passing the defense.

Because the speed is too fast, other people have no time to attack, Jordan pulls up the shot directly from the free throw line.

12 to 14

When Jordan returned to the defense, he shouted at Louis, "Are you sure you want to defend like this?"

"Michael, calm down, you are too impetuous, so you can't beat the tragic master, and you can't beat us, so that you don't have a ring until now." Louis' yin and yang's strange words made Jordan's head angry.

He is very angry, are the consequences serious?

In Louis's previous life, there were many legends about not making Jordan angry.

Somehow he's just naughty and likes to touch tiger butts, from Bird to Jordan, it's the funniest thing to annoy them.

Stockton endured for a long time, and finally came a personal attack, his pull-up jumper missed some accuracy.

Although the timing of the shot was good, it didn't make the shot.

Although Schmitz has a height of 2.24 meters, he is not as good as Yao Huang who later used him as a template for protecting rebounds. Yao Huang's rebounding data is considered to be the middle and low level of the top insiders, but his card position is very good, while Schmitz is not a strong card position player, and rebounding is also limited by the speed and explosive power brought by this height. , Rodman actually snatched the ball from the front.

Louie must sigh, Sampson kind of monster, maybe 50 years ago?

Rodman grabbed the rebound and gave a point to Bowie next to him, who then passed to Wilson in the bottom corner.

The Blazers' culling system is child's play in this situation.

The defense is dominated by switching, and now no one is switching to Wilson, allowing him to shoot three-pointers comfortably.

17 to 12

Wilson made a three-pointer, and did not forget to spam Jordan: "I can make a three-pointer from any position, can you?"

"Watch out for the clips!"

Louie is talking about "exploding clips", which is a password within the Knicks.

Billy Donovan brought them 25 positional traps, evenly distributed at the free throw line, left and right corners, and left and right short corners.

Waiting for Jordan's "clip" is one of the five free throw line traps.

Jordan once again encountered Rodman's extreme setbacks.

"I will break your defenses!"

Jordan was like a beast with a murderous intent, spouting a cruel word to Rodman, and the next second, he would speed up.

Rodman's teammates were unprepared before. This time, they were greeted by Louie, and they had reacted in advance. One Wilson and one Stockton released Nance and Porter at the same time, and attacked Jordan at the free throw line.

The effect of flanking on Jordan is limited, and the way to limit him, in addition to flanking, is not just flanking, which is the power of zone traps.

In addition to limiting the ball handler's offense, it is also necessary to anticipate his backhand.

Jordan's back-up was to find the position of Terry Porter. Unfortunately, his choice was the same as what Louis had guessed.

Therefore, Rodman followed Louie's orders to block Porter's catch.

Jordan's pass just sent the ball into his arms.

"Thank you for the pass, Michael!"

Louie stood on the sidelines and yelled.

When Rodman made a fast break, he added a sentence: "This is Michael's pass, a beautiful dunk!"

Rodman, like Louie's loyal dog, came with a dunk with all his strength.

19 to 12

Jordan looked at Louie from a distance, and he got more and more annoyed.

"Michael, there are many traps in our position, please be careful." Louie is like looking for a guinea pig for an experiment, hoping Jordan can find the loophole.

The Knicks' trap is a problem for the Blazers' coaching staff.

Because Louie was targeting Jordan's tendency to only shoot right-wing 45-degree three-pointers, he deliberately made his players so defensive, and by the way, tried out the Knicks' new routine.

If Jordan was going to have the ball on the perimeter, he would have to face the Knicks' multiple-choice defense.

Last time, Jordan picked Porter and got a steal.

This time, Jordan chose Drexler.

The glider, who was not stolen, but received the ball from outside the three-point line, did not dare to try to shoot a three-pointer.

He is like Ben Simmons a few years later. He seems to have a shadow about shooting from beyond the arc. In fact, he can shoot there, but it is not stable, and they need to go inside now because the Knicks There is no Ewing now.

Glider successfully scored under Bowie's help.

His pull-bar pick basket made Louie see the shadow of Scottie Pippen in a trance.

Compared with Pippen, Drexler has a stronger impact in positional warfare. His hands and feet are well coordinated, but his shooting feel is stiff, but this does not affect his ability to do things as long as he has the ball.

A minute later, Louie adjusted the lineup.

Stockton, Miller, Bowie end.

Hornacek, Alex Stevens, John Salley came on.

Sean Camp and Doug West both rubbed their hands excitedly, expecting Louie to call his name.

Because it is rare today that both Ewing and Reggie Williams are on the DNP roster due to injury. If everyone is healthy and only 13 players from the 15-man roster play, the 2 DNP spots must be from the rookie and Brad Luohao. chose between.

In the first round of the Knicks substitution, Jordan and Drexler's full-court pressing succeeded in causing the Knicks to make mistakes.

Drexler gave Jordan a hit.

Jordan took the ball but threw it into the air.

Drexler dunks the ball in the air.

This kind of cooperation, the two of them are very easy to grasp, and the tacit understanding is good enough.

Louie felt sorry for them. The flanking starter, who could be called the league's number one, actually had to listen to Pitino's words to play a cull and press.

Pitino's kind of gameplay consumes too much of the core players.

But Jordan is also a person who has high requirements for others and himself.

This is the reality, Jordan is a very difficult person to target with routines.

Even if only one point has a three-point threat, even if all the traps of the Knicks are aimed at him alone, he can find teammates.

As long as Drexler plays well, his passing will be valuable, because the glider always works.

The Blazers have super flanks that are difficult to limit. As the core of the ball in the past few years, Jordan has been tempered into a Harden-style core that is unfamiliar to Louie - who can bear the ultra-high usage rate and shot power to force the team's offense.

Jordan's season reimbursement has made the Blazers discover Drexler's potential internally. Therefore, how to make the two star players have a chemical reaction is a major issue for Pitino.

Now, the offensive problems brought to them by the Knicks have been temporarily resolved, and the Blazers have to face defensive problems.

Even in the face of the Knicks' second team system, the Blazers' defense will be out of position.

Because Drexler's off-ball defense **** and Schmitz can't get out.

Wilson held fewer **** and only relied on running positions to capture the open shot opportunities sent by the Blazers, and scored 14 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in the first quarter.

Opposite him, Jordan was full of firepower, being both a father and a mother, and Louis once again felt sorry for him.

He already has the strength of the league's No. 1, but he didn't meet Phil Jackson, he couldn't play the triangle offense, he couldn't transition the ball and playmaking responsibilities under Pitino to Drexler's hands , then concentrate on playing off the ball and serving as the finisher.

Jordan played like Harden, and Benjamin Wilson played like Curry in the universe.

He runs, catches, shoots.

It was a shot against Jordan.

Even if Jordan followed, he couldn't prevent it, because Wilson had already reached the highest point of dribbling.

"Shh!"
