Chapter 992 The Bloodthirsty Conqueror
Ewing fell into the "good big brother vicious circle" unknowingly.
A good big brother will not be too harsh on the little brother.
Maybe Ewing realizes how badly he's treated Wilson in the past and wants to make amends.He wants to be a good big brother.
However, the good-natured brother did not let Wilson understand his situation.
Ewing did this out of compensatory psychology. Sooner or later, he will find that this is not enough. At that time, it will be the crux of the problem.
Now Louis doesn't care whether Ewing's Ernie sauce is qualified or not, he only cares about whether the game on the field goes according to his plan.
Although the Blazers scored a few goals by relying on defensive counterattacks, it had no effect on the overall situation.
Falling into positional warfare, the Knicks were at ease.
Ewing stood up to Sabonis confidently and shouted, "Give me the ball!"
He is full of momentum, with the momentum of the league's first center.
Stockton lobs past.
"Turn around..."
Every movement from Ewing's receiving the ball to his shooting was guessed by Louie.
When Georgetown University's insiders play singles, they are like the formulaic junglers in LOL.
They have a set of formulas for everything they do. The advantage is stable performance, and the disadvantage is that they are easy to target.
The Blazers hope that Jordan will turn on the king mode.
However, Louie's careful arrangement made Jordan's breakthrough difficult.
Based on the Knicks' emphasis on his outside three-pointers, he will encounter close defense in every defensive round.
This kind of defense is like tickling him, and it becomes effortless to pass others.
But passing people is just the beginning of the offensive end.
He passed Wilson, but what awaited him was the chain double-teaming of Miller, Kemp and Ewing within the free throw line.
Jordan was so defended that he could only pass the ball.
When he passed the ball, he realized that even if he attracted the defensive attention of three people, the Knicks' defensive resources can still spread the defensive influence to the outside.
If the Blazers are the team with the most athletic talent, then the Knicks are the team with the most luxurious defensive resources.
Ewing, Kemp, Rodman, and Wilson are all top defenders in the league. Except for Ewing, the other three are all wing players with full mobility.
The flank defense is rich in resources. The significance of this matter is not the effect of defending Jordan alone. After all, Jordan, who has mastered the three-pointer, is the most unstoppable player since the birth of basketball. There are only a handful of defenders in this league who are capable of dealing with the trapeze alone.
Coincidentally, most of these players are in the Knicks.
Louie didn't use the luxurious defensive resources to play wheel battles.
He likes "All in", that is, putting almost all defensive resources on the table to make the best use of them, such as this game.
The combination of Rjukan's interior ensures that even if Jordan bursts in, he will encounter a high wall that cannot be crossed.
Creating insurmountable defensive obstacles has only one purpose, which is to force the opponent to pass the ball.
Only when Jordan passes the ball can the Knicks' defensive resources be utilized to the extreme.
The significance of defensive resources lies in the effects of assisting defense, rotation and switching defense.
How long can the wing players last for a short switch defense, the effect of individual players encountering misplacement and other strong points of the Blazers.
It is impossible for any team to perform perfectly in every defensive round. As long as they switch defenses and rotate, there will be dislocations.
For example, in this round, Stockton, who had misplaced and bullied Barkley just now, was also caught by Barkley.
Can Stockton hit the top before the help defense arrives?Because the Knicks concentrated their efforts to encircle Jordan, no one could defend Barkley for a while.
For a team like the Blazers whose offensive strengths are scattered and four of the starting five can be the core of the offense, they can ignore any defensive system.
It's a pity that even Riley can't fully realize the offensive potential of this lineup.
Therefore, the Knicks have a chance.
Barkley dribbled and knocked Stockton down, and the referees at the Blazers' home court didn't have a whistle.
Just when Flying Pig was about to end the attack with a dunk, Wilson flew up and slapped Barkley in the face, forcing the flying pig to stop.
The way Wilson intercepted Barkley was of course a foul, and the referee blew his whistle.
Barkley didn't intend to give up. Even if he and Wilson were good friends, he couldn't accept being intercepted like this.
"You insidious villain!" Buckley scolded angrily, "It's because of this that you like old women. There are no young cousins who are willing to look at you. They would rather sleep with Patrick!"
Wilson, unfazed, smugly said, "Chuck, I've turned down more teenage girls than you've eaten donuts."
Donuts are Barkley's favorite, but he hasn't eaten them for half a month in order to keep in shape.
At this moment, in order to be brave, Buckley yelled: "Fuck you, I haven't eaten a donut in three months!"
"I haven't eaten a donut since high school," Wilson said proudly. "Chuck, that's why I'm a national champion and you don't do anything in Auburn. That's why I can wear a championship ring on one hand. If you want to win a championship, you can only pray that Mickey is possessed by God every night. You don't deserve a championship!"
Only when Wilson fires outside, can his teammates know how disgusting this person's mouth is.
Barkley was powerless to refute Wilson's words, and could only shout angrily: "You are finished, and it will be our turn next, and I will win more rings than you!"
Barkley, maddened, missed both free throws at the free throw line.
The Knicks counterattacked and Miller scored a layup.
Wilson did not forget to "greeting" to Barkley: "Thanks, Chuck."
"Fuck you!"
In a rage, Barkley directly took over the Blazers' offense.
Barkley is a difficult player to guard, even if his mind is filled with anger.
Facing Kemp, he directly hit a high jumper.
Then he played a 2+1 on Ewing with the ball.
So brave, it can't be stopped.
The current Barkley is reminiscent of the monster who forced the Knicks to Game [-] of the Finals with Jordan last year.
Given the chance, he's still a beast.
The Barkley team narrowed the point difference to 2 points.
Before the end of the first quarter, Jordan hit a three-pointer in midfield, and the Blazers actually achieved a lead.
Shan Nili yelled like a festival: "This is what the Blazers should do at home. They have driven countless Western Conferences into the abyss here, and even the Knicks can't stop them!"
In the second quarter, the Knicks lineup looked like this: Reggie Williams, Wilson, Stevens, Rodman, Yu Tiancan.
Yu Tiancan's court positioning is the same as Ewing's. As long as Sabonis is on the court, he will play one-on-one all the time, and it's okay if he can't beat.
If Sabonis rests off the court, try to use his height to help the team open up the situation on the court.
The presence of the core members of Williams, Law, and Si, plus Williams and a Yu Tianchan who doesn't seem to match the intensity of the game, what kind of game can it be turned into?
Riley did the exact same thing.
The Knicks put pressure on with a murderous press, and the Blazers will use the Verdun line of defense to speed up.
Barkley, who was in excellent form, had to sit on the sidelines.
So the man who had to face the Knicks' murder pressing joint strangler became Jordan.
In addition to Jordan, others are not eligible for this treatment.
Louie stood on the sidelines, one gesture and one signal each round.
That means that the focus of the defense in each round is different, and the layout of the pocket array in each round is different.
Louie's stunning improvisation turned Memorial Coliseum into a Portland graveyard.
It can be called abnormal flanking in the paint, fierce and unlimited full-court pressing, various defensive formations, flanking with extreme rotation, and full aggressiveness, making the defense strong.
This is not without a price. The price the Knicks have to pay is to give the Blazers a lot of corner three-point opportunities.
This kind of aggressive defensive strategy will be shot horribly when encountering a team with a good bottom-line shooter in the future. For the Verdun defense of the Blazers, including Jordan, their bottom-line three-pointers are very bad.
Therefore, this set is just right for the Blazers.
Anyway, against a monster like Jordan, it is always necessary to invest heavily in defense, flank frequently, and deliberately miss three-point opportunities for the opponent. If they still can't make a shot, then there is no pressure.
Moreover, every time the Knicks rotated outward and contracted the three-second zone inward, they were very timely, leaving enough lead, even if the Blazers passed the ball outward, it was the kind of pass that looked extremely embarrassing.
In the end, Wilson proved that he was still the bloodthirsty conqueror.
Although the communication with his teammates is greatly reduced, his position as the leader of the murder press is unshakable.
Tonight was even more of a lead, causing the Blazers to suffer frequent setbacks, and the opponent was almost collapsed by defense alone.
In the few minutes from the first quarter to the second quarter, it is not an exaggeration to say that Wilson beat Jordan completely.
His unshakable conviction led the Knicks to a 44-point 32-12 lead over the Blazers.
Riley's full-court press-to-court press strategy failed.
Tonight at least, the Knicks murder press was even bloodier.
When Wilson left the field, everyone paid tribute to him, only Reggie Williams made a "criticism": "Benj, you are too cruel to Portland, and I condemn you on behalf of Oregon!"
