Chapter 955 Are You Angry With Your Dad?
Are you pretending to be confused?
Louis can't pretend to be confused, that's what KC does, he won't do it.
But he does feel that his coaching career in New York is counting down.
Before that, though, he has to be with this team to the end.
This year's regular season lasted until the end of April.
On April 4, the Knicks ended the regular season with a big win.
68 wins and 14 losses
Although many people were not optimistic about the Knicks at the beginning of the season, in the end, they entered the playoffs with the second record in the league.
Unless they meet the Heat in the playoffs, they have home-court advantage in every series.
At the same time, many people are optimistic about the Blazers.
The Knicks' combat effectiveness seems to have declined, but in fact, it has always been stable.
The Trail Blazers had a tendency to sweep the world at the beginning of the season, but as the season progressed, the league's competitiveness was generally strong, which increased the risk of losing.
In the rematch with the Knicks, the Blazers' system was dismantled, exposing major problems.
Riley can not solve the problem, just rely on the talent of the team to crush the opponent, the Blazers can undoubtedly lead the league in the record list.
But in this way, the team's problem has not been solved. When it comes to the playoffs, the opponent will catch this problem and target it.
In this way, they are passive.
Riley wouldn't allow that to happen anyway, which is why the Blazers lost consecutive games in the closing stages.
The Trail Blazers ranked third in the league with 67 wins.
Although falling from first to third is uncomfortable, Riley has his own opinion: "It is better to lose within the scope of our control than to be caught in the playoffs and chased after him."
At this point, the regular season is over.
The weak teams that did not make the playoffs should prepare for the draft, and those who want to make a big splash in the offseason must find a way to clear their salary space.
And the strong teams whose journey is not over yet must cheer up to deal with the upcoming playoffs.
The Knicks, ranked second in the Eastern Conference, will face the incomplete Detroit Pistons in the first round.
For the last training session before the playoffs, Louis had no other arrangements but one request: don’t get injured.
Non-combat attrition due to excessive training intensity during the playoffs is the stupidest thing.
To talk about the most honest team, this season is none other than the Pistons.
They keep talking about rebuilding, and there have been trade rumors for everyone except super rookie Steve Smith.
But this group of people only thunder but not rain.
No gossip is true but gossip is still gossip.
Although Joe Dumars was sent away last summer, the Pistons still have strong players such as James Worthy, Parish, and Bowie.
In terms of lineup, they are definitely not bad, they just lack a commander who strings the team together.
Therefore, originally having the book strength to hit the top five in the Eastern Conference, he just finished seventh in the Eastern Conference. Unfortunately, he met the Knicks in the first round.
When Chuck Daly, a potential victim of the butterfly effect of the traverser, saw Louis in Madison Square Garden, he was full of emotion: "Detroit has risen in the East since I came here, but this time, it is really coming to an end."
Daly's so-called "end" not only means that the Pistons want to change the status quo, but more importantly, Daly will also leave.
After this season, Daly will not renew his contract with the Pistons.
He won't lead a rebuilding team, nor does he want to lead a rebuilding team.
The butterfly effect driven by Louis has changed too many things.
Needless to say, those players who have suffered from it, there are also famous coaches like Daly-he could have led the Bad Boys to defeat the Demon Bird God to achieve his own glory in the late 80s and lock the head coach of the Dream Team.
However, that team was torn apart by Louie.
Although the Pistons management changed their fate against the sky, with a series of good operations, they just changed a lineup, allowing the Pistons to maintain their competitiveness in the Eastern Conference for many years.
But these years, the Pistons have become more and more like the Raptors of the Cavaliers James 2.0 era.
They looked poor, especially in the regular season, and were often able to give away major rivals.
This creates two illusions for them and the fans.
One is to make them mistakenly think that they are very strong, and the other is to make basketball fans mistakenly think that they are very strong.After coming to the playoffs, when they were led by James to be killed as pigs, the fans could understand what a dimensionality reduction blow is.
Compared with the Raptors in the Trash Brothers era, who suffered from a strong fear of Zhan, the Pistons on this plane are obviously much more unlucky.
They pretty much started together with the Knicks.
In Louie's first summer in New York, the Pistons formed the league's first frontcourt lineup against the Celtics' weak frontcourt.
Since then, the Pistons have gone down the wrong path.
Moreover, in the past eight years, they have reached the playoffs every year, either becoming a sandbag for the Celtics or a toy for the Knicks.
Their sole purpose of existence is to play a good regular season performance and establish a "we are not good" image in the hearts of fans.
But that's all.
Originally, they could comfort themselves with "I am the top three in the Eastern Conference".
But with the rise of the Hornets, Heat, and Pacers, this kind of self-comforting rhetoric has become unrealistic.Except for the Knicks, all three teams are sure to beat the Pistons.
During the regular season, the Pistons only won one game against the Hornets against these three teams.
That game was won because the Hornets underestimated the enemy.
Now they are timid before the battle, and they feel like they are going to lose even before the game starts
Daly began to confide in Louis, and Louis listened quietly.
"I won't let my team members show mercy just because you told me this." Louie joked.
Daly took Louie's joke: "Great, if we play against the defending champions and can't let them go all out, it means we are too bad."
Before the game started, Bowie, who played in New York and won the only NBA championship in his life, came to say hello to his old teammates.
Although the great 84 diamond generation is full of talents, there are three undisputed superstars, but none of them has a champion.
On the contrary, Stockton's championship ring can be worn on one hand, and Bowie, who is recognized as a "parallel importer" by the top five picks, also has a ring that can show off to future generations that "I was also a winner back then."
"Coach Lu, the experience in New York has reshaped my career." Bowie said gratefully, "You can't overstate how much you helped me."
Louie felt that Bowie's reaction was a bit over the top.
If Ewing said so, it would be excusable.
This orangutan is one of the players whose life was truly changed by him.
"Don't be merciless on the field, just give it a go." Louis laughed.
Louie underestimated his influence.
Although Bowie only played in New York for one year, he won not only the championship, but also the baptism of the Knicks' advanced tactical system.
In terms of technical characteristics, Bowie belongs to the modern center.
But in this era of three-shift center players (post offense, rebound protection, rim protection), his strengths have not been properly utilized.
But when Louis coached him, he used every inch of his strengths.
Bowie has since gained a new perspective on the game, proving himself to be a valuable player both in Miami and Detroit.
In the game against the Knicks, because they have a special lineup, they must be prepared for the whole process of dislocation.
In this era when most teams are on the same level as the Knicks and the Trail Blazers, and the team is iron-blooded, the Pistons do not have the capital to play iron-blooded basketball.
Their core player James Worthy is an authentic gentleman who doesn't even understand the call*.
Bowie already has the attribute of glass, let alone go to war.
Therefore, although the Pistons have a good lineup, they rarely increase their strength.
As the core of the team, Worthy averaged 18 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists per game.
His prime is over.
The impact of Dumars' departure exceeded Detroit's expectations.
In Game 1 with the Knicks, the Pistons were hit hard all the way.
Wilson made Worthy understand what it means for the waves behind the Yangtze River to push the waves ahead.
Although Worthy is bigger than Wilson, his core strength is not dominant.
Wilson played Worthy, not many steps, just a catch and shoot.
Although this attack method is simple, as long as there is ingenious tactical cooperation, it is difficult to be restricted.
Worthy's inability to guard Wilson shouldn't surprise anyone.
Because Worthy is not a good defender.
Louie pays more attention to the chemistry of the team itself.
After the "Garden of Eden" incident, the Knicks' overall tacit understanding declined significantly, and the team's core Wilson and Ewing became old and dead.
They barely communicate on the field.
Ewing still routinely runs pick-and-rolls and screens, and Wilson doesn't use his screens when he can.
They are fighting.
Louis understood Wilson's dissatisfaction with Ewing, but what's so annoying about Ewing, a bastard?
Don't ask the truth, just slap people's mouths indiscriminately, isn't it just fucking you, why are you angry with your father?
