Chapter 409 Request a Song(1/2)
With the Magic returning to the game, the Knicks expanded their advantage to 24 points.
Then, the Lakers began to send the ball to the Magicians.
As long as the magician can push the defense straight, he will be fouled.
Soon, the Knicks' fouls were full.
However, the Knicks' foul and pressure intensity did not affect the Magician's free throw feeling. Instead, it was the murder of the press. Because they used too much strength on the defensive end, they could only rely on Wilson on the offensive end.
Three minutes passed, and the Knicks' advantage did not expand, but was narrowed to 18 points by the Lakers.
The magician knows how to deal with the Knicks' press.
Louis knew that the strong period of murder press had ended, so he went up and down the next five.
Stockton, Dell Curry, Ellis, McHale and Ewing, replaced the five people on the field.
When it came to an end, Wilson looked quite excited.
Perhaps, he is very suitable as the leader of the murder press? Once his defensive skills can make a major breakthrough, with his positive expectations, commitment and the infectiousness that makes Jennifer Beals want to change into a Knicks jersey and press the Lakers, how high can the upper limit of the murder press be raised?
"benj, do you like this defense?" Louis asked.
Wilson's answer was surprising: "I don't like it at all."
"Oh?" Louis didn't expect it would be the answer, "but you seem to be having fun."
Wilson's next answer fully interprets his style and temperament, "I just like the feeling of making the opponent breathless."
"If you really want to play that feeling, you have to work harder on the defensive end." Louis pointed out the problem, "You have become the breakthrough for the Lakers to break the press several times."
Upon hearing this, Wilson replied, "I can, coach."
Some people have discovered that the Knicks may be restraining the Lakers in terms of play.
What the Lakers are not good at is the Knicks' strengths.
The Lakers are not good at protecting rebounds, and the Knicks are the best team in the league to protect rebounds.
The Lakers have never been an excellent defensive team, and the Knicks have so far been the league's number one in defense this season.
The Lakers have poor offensive rebounding data, and the Knicks ranks second in the league in offensive rebounding, second only to the Detroit Pistons, which has an extremely strong frontcourt lineup.
The Lakers' Jabbar cannot find several opponents in the West and can play inside, such as Olajuwon, Sampson, Moses Malone, and especially Moses. The team is the most difficult, and the team is weak and cannot reach the Lakers. Or in the East, if you encounter it, you can only go to the Finals.
The inside reserves that the Knicks have, even the Celtic Sampson will shake when he sees them, let alone the 40-year-old Jabbar.
The Lakers' biggest advantage is the peripheral firepower composed of Magicians, Wilkins and Scott.
This was an advantage last season. This season, with Louis forming a murder pressing team and Benjamin Wilson joining, the gap between the two sides is already very small. With the growth of the Knicks, it is only a matter of time before the situation reverses.
The difference between the coaching staff also exists.
To put it bluntly, the Lakers' showtime cannot be played without a rotating monster like Magic.
They rely heavily on Jabbar in position warfare.
In other words, the Lakers' offensive and defensive strength depends entirely on the players' awareness and positional warfare tactics, mainly on the stars' personal ability to swing.
It can be said that their tactical system is very sloppy.
The Knicks are fighting the most complex system in the entire league, and the routines of positional warfare are emerging one after another. Every position and everyone has their own tactics and routines.
Stockton, the main control, has to record nearly 200 tactical routines alone.
Last season, Sport Webber couldn't remember so many tactics, and Louis needed to gesture to him on the sidelines.
The Lakers and the Knicks are extreme from beginning to end.
However, the Knicks' extremes are inclusive and have high fault tolerance.
If the Lakers have problems, they can only rely on Riley to stop the timeout.
Therefore, in the second quarter, the Knicks replaced the main lineup, and the Lakers asked the Magic to lead the team to chase points, but the result was not as good as the Lakers wished.
The magician's dislocation ability is still strong, and no one can match the Knicks.
As long as he beats his back, Louis will let him play as he wants.
Louis's attitude towards the magician was: If I don't have the team, if you have the ability, you will beat me to death.
Even if the Magician's offense is stronger than the peak James, it is difficult to use personal offense to dominate opponents of the same level.
The secret of such players is that they can compete with each other and can compete with each other.
King James has a Royal Salute, and the Magician has a showtime.
The Knicks don't hit each ball, and even if the Magic scores every ball, it will not affect the overall situation.
He scored 18 points in a single quarter, but after halftime, the Knicks still led the Lakers by 15 points.
69 to 54
The Lakers' offense is good, but the Knicks are too strong.
"Coach Lu, you played a completely different atmosphere tonight than before. What made you perform so well?"
"Opportunity." Louis Gao replied emotionally, "The greatest thing about Magicians and Larry is that they can make their teammates as great as them, but tonight's Magician is better. His high-level performance makes us have to improve our own level."
Pat Riley sips Louis.
"Many people only know that New York has many excellent young people, but they don't know that a considerable number of these young people are eliminated products that other teams don't want. They become excellent because the person who leads them is Little Lou." Riley said modestly, "I have to learn from Little Lou. If I can force out the full potential of the players like him, maybe we have already beaten the Celtics."
If Louis was a Lakers player, he would probably have to be scared when he heard Riley's words.
Originally, the Lakers are famous for their large amount of training. Why did Riley say that he should force out all the potential of players? Then don’t treat people as animals?
The only way to survive is to apply for a deal before Riley goes crazy.
Unfortunately, no Lakers player realized the seriousness of the matter.
Louis walked back to the locker room and announced the second half first.
"Jeff Hornersek, Alice, Benj, Oak, Patrick." Louis came up with a special lineup, "You five are in the second half."
Neither Stockton nor McHale had any objection, and the others listened carefully to Louis' arrangement.
"The Lakers are already very tired. In the second half, we need to speed up the offensive rhythm and pay attention to strengthening the confrontation standards in the inside. If you pay attention, you should have found that Dick Bavita's fool is very tolerant of the confrontation in the penalty area today." Louis said cruelly, "Since this is at our home court, then entertain Karim!"
At the beginning of the second half, the Knicks' 2 high-day p tactic hit Ewing.
This time, the 2high P day was even more successful, and Ewing's catch position was not low, but at the basket.
At the basket, Jabbar had to rely on his height and wingspan to influence Ewing.
In the first attack, Ewing was careless and wanted to dunk the ball when he took the ball, but was blocked by Jabbar. Fortunately, the ball was blocked back into his hand.
"Crash him hard!" Louis shouted.
Next, Ewing stopped talking about martial ethics with the old comrades. He smashed the ball to the ground, pushed back his body, pushed Jabbar's body out of the basket, and then collected the ball and made a strong effort to fill the basket.
"I don't know how to play if I don't get covered, right?" Louis laughed.
Ewing didn't say anything, he got used to it.
Louis scolded him every day, and he had already made Louis's scolding a special encouragement that he hoped he would become better.
In fact, that was indeed Louis' encouragement.
But sometimes Louis would be so angry that Ewing would spit out some terrible words that would come back to the scene.
Fortunately, Lord Ewing had a lot of them, otherwise Louis's name would have been written into the monument long ago.
The Lakers did not make any mistakes, nor did they have the conditions to make any mistakes.
They were too far behind. Although they did not make any mistakes, the Knicks did not give them a chance to overtake the score.
In the third quarter, the Magician found a lot of misplaced positions, and Jabbar, Ewing or Oakley, was not at a disadvantage.
However, there was no problem with the Knicks' offense.
Wilson and Wilkins beat each other, and Oakley and Ewing had a huge rebound advantage.
Hornersek, who was underestimated by the Lakers, punished his opponent with a fatal three-pointer.
At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks led by 18 points.
The Lakers basically had no hope of winning, Riley replaced the Magician to rest.
Louis waved his hand again and made a murderous press.
Afterwards, this was a change of formation that ended the game.
With Wilson, Stevens, Rodman, Seley and Youin's murder press, the intensity, continuity and suffocation are even stronger than before.
Wilson and Ewing are both the kind of evil stars who can seamlessly blend into the murder press.
Now, the Lakers, who could not replace the Magic to rescue the Lakers, watched the Knicks widen the score difference to 26 points within a few minutes.
They were completely killed by the Knicks' strength, athletic talent and the unpredictable standards of Dick Bavita.
With 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Riley replaced the Magician, as if he wanted to have a last try.
In fact, he just asked him to come up and brush some data, and then replace all the main players when the remaining half of the game.
To be continued...
