Chapter 977

"Coach Lu seems to be relieved by this?"

Costas spotted a blind spot.

Without Louis' permission, Rauf would not dare to shoot a three-pointer in that situation even if he had the guts to do so.

Hubie Brown couldn't help looking at Louis when he heard what Costas said.

Even if he couldn't understand what happened on the field, as long as it was Louis who made it happen, even if he couldn't understand it, he still had to try to understand it.

Because Louie is a far better basketball coach than he is.

Back in the day, Louis was regarded as a thorn in the side because of his advanced coaching philosophy that was regarded as a heretic by many old coaches in the Middle Ages.

Brown, who was still the Knicks coach at the time, was one of the many coaches who condemned Louie.

Today, Louie has developed his own style.

He made the league accept the [-]-pointer a decade early.

His pocket formation is a must-have for any team.

The defensive formation that trapped Dr. J in the 1981 Eastern Conference Finals has evolved in various ways.

Louis is the instigator.

After arriving in New York, Louie revolutionized the game.

With Ewing at the core, the Knicks have greatly innovated the defensive concept of professional basketball with their defense-based strategy.

High-position pressing, rotating defense, breaking east and west, and full of confrontational hand-to-hand combat...

Brown has to admit that Louie has accomplished a feat almost impossible for NBA coaches.

He drove a new trend of thinking in the game and changed the way players play.

If he thinks that Rauf's three-pointer can be allowed in this situation, then he can only choose to support it.

"Maybe, I don't believe in this style of play, but I believe in Leader Lu."

The Knicks confuse the Blazers with a fast-paced game that focuses on the basket.

The Jordan rule on the defensive end made the Blazers dream of going back to last year.

Last year's Blazers had already cracked the rules, but today's special situation, Jordan's unusual mentality, let Louis seize the opportunity.

In the first quarter, the Knicks players kept finding Jordan's troubles, trying to make the trapeze lose his mind.

After the conflict, Riley let Jordan play for 4 minutes before realizing the problem.

And a lot can happen in those 4 minutes.

Jordan was about to take the position, but Wilson tried his best to fight him.

Although Wilson is quite an idol on the outside, what scares Louis most about this man is his ugliest face, which is often only exposed on the court.

Moreover, if he encounters an ordinary opponent, Wilson will still look like a good man.

Only when he meets a player like Jordan, the "Benjamin the Conqueror", who is both familiar and unfamiliar to Louis, will take over Wilson's consciousness.

Today, he appeared again.

Wilson resisted Jordan on the one hand, and kept making small moves on the other.

He would scratch Jordan's waist, and push Jordan's buttocks with his thighs and knees.

This is how the previous conflict happened.

Jordan told himself to calm down, but treating him calmly would only wait for Wilson's intensified tricks.

Even if Jordan forced the ball, Wilson would not uphold the morals of the world and him one-on-one.

Usually, Wilson would use himself as a bait to lure Jordan to attack, and then use small tricks to signal to his teammates, "We don't need to talk about morals with him, this big-eared thief can be punished by everyone!"

Originally, Louis said that he wanted to activate the "law". Seeing Wilson's gesture, his teammates naturally felt obliged to help.

Jordan breaks from the top line, Rodman will double-team, and Kemp is also waiting to block the basket.

Jordan walks the baseline, and the Knicks risk fouling him and squeeze him out of bounds.Even if he doesn't go out of bounds, it's hard for Jordan to get out of the bottom line.

Those pushing actions that seem to be suspected of fouls are often ignored by Hugh Hollins.

Pat Riley's voice was on the verge of bursting, and Hollins wouldn't whistle.

Louis expressed regret to Riley, he is no longer a fledgling young coach, what kind of virtue is Hollins, a bastard?Others don't know, can he not know?

This guy, whistleblowing has always been arbitrary, if he thinks the Knicks' defensive standards are OK, then even if you beg him with your thighs, he won't show mercy to you.

Therefore, when encountering this scale, it is useless to complain, you can only adapt to it.

The Knicks have adapted well, and Riley has been keeping the starters from getting into a bloodbath with the Knicks.

So he doesn't want the scale to be too large.

That's Riley's flaw, too. Like many coaches, his influence over the referees is limited to whining.

Louis is different, he will observe the scale, if it is beneficial to him, he will pretend that the scale makes him uncomfortable, but he will not be particularly excited, so that the referee will think that he has given up today.

Every referee enjoyed the feeling of letting Leader Lu fall into his hands.

Once the scale is against the Knicks, Louie is a mad dog.

He is not as simple as threatening the referee, he will let the players make troubles on the field, intensify the conflicts, and cause the game to be frequently suspended due to conflicts.

Referees have to take influence into account, and in order to neutralize the anger of both parties, or to calm the anger of the party who is more angry, they need to set the scale again.

As soon as they do, Louie's goal is accomplished.

Of course, no matter whether the scale is beneficial to him or not, Louis will always show a disliked expression.

These 4 minutes made Jordan feel like he was in a water prison every second.

His low post offense cannot face the basket;

His dribble breakthrough must be double-teamed;

If he has the opportunity to directly attack the basket, Rodman will let him know that there is a "palm technique" that falls from the sky in the arena, which is especially suitable for making flying people fall;

Except for shooting against the defense, Jordan didn't have any offensive freedom.

The Knicks used the multi-man defense to set up a lot of difficulties in front of him.

Wilson's provocations and small moves, as well as the trash talk after each scoring with the ball, are affecting Jordan's mentality.

The trash talk that made Jordan break the defense the most was: "Actually, the championship is quite easy to win. My ring can be worn on one hand."

Jordan had a championship too, but...the national championship is nothing special, Wilson had it too.

In addition to the NCAA national championship, Jordan also has two Olympic champions.

Unfortunately, Wilson also has an Olympic champion...

This is where it hurts the most.

I have what you have, but I don't have what I have.

In the end, Jordan couldn't even make a three-pointer, and his mentality was completely out of balance. Only then did Riley notice that the flying man's mentality was being severely persecuted by the Knicks, and immediately called a timeout to interrupt the torture of the Knicks.

Jordan walked down without a word.

Jordan, who has been depressed since the beginning of the game, scored 8 points in the past 12 minutes, shooting nearly [-]% from the field. From the perspective of efficiency, his performance is not bad, but he failed to drive the team as before.

Riley can only temporarily replace him.

"Michael, I don't want to talk bullshit about calm down, you know how we got here, you know how hard it was, and you should know that if you don't pull yourself together, it's going to be hard for us to beat New York!"

Jordan patted his cheek, wiped his sweat with a towel, and replied, "Pat, I was wrong just now, and I will get back to my state."

Riley believes in Jordan's ability to adjust. He is not a young man anymore, and he has experienced enough failures.

The off-court rhythm can only affect him for a while, and when he realizes how important the finals are, those irrelevant things will be thrown out of his mind.

In order for Jordan to adjust his mentality, Riley did not put up the Verdun line of defense at this time.

Because after Alvin Robertson was removed from the Verdun defense, Jordan was a regular inside.Now they need to leave Jordan alone. If they press the whole court for the sake of pressing the whole court, it may have a completely different effect.

So Riley only made small-scale substitutions, and played the rest as he should.

Jordan and Sabonis were replaced by Jerome Cosey and Clifford Robinson.

Not using the Verdun line of defense for a full-court press, but replacing these two can also make a qualitative change in the Blazers' defense.

Robinson can be defended, and Cauchy has both offense and defense.

Moreover, without Jordan and Thomas, Barkley is the only super giant on the Blazers field, and the possession of the ball is relatively concentrated.

The game suddenly became Barkley's cool game. He can ask for the ball and play whatever he wants.

For the Knicks, Wilson and Kemp were replaced, and Stockton and Ewing were replaced.

The Blazers are seeking stability, but the Knicks are focused on expanding their lead.

Without Sabonis, Ewing's inside threat will only be greater, and Robinson and Nance can't stop him together.

Although Barkley is invincible with a single point of attack, his defense is always a problem.

At the beginning of the game, Stockton cleverly used his tactics to hit Barkley, and broke through the Flying Pigs one by one, which really expanded the lead.
