Chapter 942 One Team, Two Systems
Kemp's assist defense block proves that the Knicks are extraordinary around the basket.
Nance grabbed the rebound and scored a second offense, showing that the Blazers are a team that can compete with the Knicks in terms of talent.
Ordinary power forwards cannot seize the opportunity of Kemp's loss of position to grab offensive rebounds and complete the second attack after Kemp reacted so quickly.
Louis continued to watch.
Mohammad Rauf dribbled upfield and everyone knew why he was starting.
When he arrived in New York last year, critics called it the worst trade of Louie's career.
The Celtics are happy with Billy Owens, who seems to be a talent that will allow them to preserve the glory of the Celtics into the 21st century.
As a result, in just one year, Owens has been identified as a parallel importer, and Rauf has conquered the most discerning fans in the world in New York.
Game [-] of last year's finals was his battle of fame.
His [-]-pointers made Portland desperate like the flames of hell.
He didn't fire a shot tonight, but the fans in Memorial Stadium were terrified of him.
Rauf stood at the top of the arc, raised his left hand, and signaled Ewing to come over to pick and roll.
Ewing ran out, and Sabonis had to follow him out of the paint given his shot threat.
However, he didn't go too far, because his speed is no longer as fast as when he was young.
Every big center must admit that he does not have the ability to switch defenses against small guards.
Even for Sampson and Ewing, two super centers who are known for switching guards, all they can do is try to keep up without losing their position.
Really spaced out by defenders and misplaced, seven-footers never have an advantage when defending.
Sabonis opted for an "out, but not quite out" defense that just left room for Rauf to shoot.
Since the roof of the world does not believe in evil, of course the moonlight pistol should give him a little color.
I saw him collecting the ball and shooting at an extremely fast speed. Thomas, who was facing him, was stuck in Ewing's pick-and-roll and couldn't step forward to interfere.
"Shh!"
5 is better than 2
"Is this bad shot selection, Erwin?" Bob Costas asked.
Is it a bad shot to hang a pick-and-roll and see that the opponent doesn't want to come out and shoot directly?
In terms of timing, it's a bit rushed.
But the pick-and-roll has created an open space. Although the three-pointer with the ball seems to be crooked in this era, he made it.
"There is no absolutely bad and correct shot selection." The tragedian humorously said, "If every shot you take is a bad choice, but you hit more than 50% of your shots, then you can't say that your shot selection is bad. Conversely, if you make every shot open, but the shooting percentage is less than 40%, can we say that is the right shot choice? This shows that he is a player who is not good at shooting. Since he is not good at shooting, he should not shoot no matter how open he is. There is no right or wrong when it comes to basketball selection, there is only whether to score or not to score, and if you score, it is a good goal.”
The Blazers' response ball was completed by Jordan.
Also, the way he finishes the offense is simple.
Runs, cuts, high post shots.
Wilson's defense did not lose his position, but Jordan's shooting certainty was too high.
"Benj, are you really a core player?" Jordan sneered, "Why can't you even touch the ball?"
"Because your defense is so good, not only can you prevent me from receiving the ball, but you can also prevent the Blazers from winning a second championship so far."
Wilson said angrily.
"It's all thanks to you, MJ."
Someone told Louie that Benj was looking more and more like Bird.
Louis didn't believe it, but when he heard him say such words to Jordan, he had to believe it.
Luckily, Benj doesn't disrespect him like that half-buried hillbilly.
Compared to the bumpkin, Benj is like a better version of him.
He is obedient to the inside and strikes hard on the outside.
If it was replaced by the bumpkin himself, Ewing, the hanging man, would have been sprayed out by him long ago.
"Benj, come and go without indecent assault," Louie yelled, "Let MAR pass you the ball!"
Wilson should be, ran to Rauf and asked for the ball.
As a result, Wilson's request for the ball was rejected by Rauf.
Because a new round has just started, the situation of the game is unclear, and it is not yet the time for the stars to play singles. Everyone should start with tactics.
He took Stockton's post, so he had to play according to Stockton's standards.
Although Wilson was very dissatisfied with Rauf's use of Stockton's chicken feathers as an arrow, he could not refute Rauf.
Since he couldn't refute it, he had no choice but to follow the instructions.
Rauf pointed high.
Kemp came up to pick and roll, and Ewing screened on the weak side.
Sabonis sat under the basket and did not expand his defense outward.
Here are Riley's instructions.
With Sabonis' movement speed, expanding his defense outwards doesn't seem to be suitable for him.
But if the opponent is the Knicks, if you don't expand your defense outward, it is easy to be found by the Knicks' N.UCLA system.
Ewing screened for Miller, and the Blazers' defensive attention was on the latter.
Miller has officially entered his peak period this year. Although his scoring average is still only 17 points per game, he has averaged 3.6 three-pointers per game, and his shooting percentage is 42%.
This kind of output and efficiency are top-notch in the small ball era.
Therefore, the defense torn apart by his off-ball running is also extraordinary.
Because Jordan was staring at Wilson, Miller was handed over to Barkley.
Barkley against Miller?
This kind of counterpoint looks like sending fans to Yulia Satomi and asking her to let young fans experience the joy of men within 5 minutes.
The Blazers' defense was torn apart by the Knicks' tactics on the spot.
Rauf passes the ball to Miller.
Obviously had a chance to shoot, Miller insisted on showing off his pass.
He attracted Barkley's supplementary defense and passed to the split Ewing.
Because Sabonis didn't come out with him, it was actually a local 2v1.
Ewing made a bunny jump shot, whoosh!
7 is better than 4
"I remember the Lithuanian's basket defense is the top three in the league, right?" Louis asked Zhao Yuanzheng.
As the person in charge of formulating the game plan, Zhao Yuanzheng is well aware of these data.
"It is the second in the league." Zhao Yuanzheng said, "second only to David Robinson."
In this era of behemoths, Sampson is old and strong, and the new generation of super centers such as Ewing, Olajuwon, and O'Neal all have unquestionable dominance in the penalty area.
Because of Louis, the Knicks became the first team in the world to set up a data department to count all kinds of high-end data that are more advanced than basic data.
Like the defense at the basket, it has been refined to every center in the league.
Louie is backed by Oracle Corporation, and in this regard, he can obtain the most cutting-edge technology to support the operation of the data department.
According to the latest statistics, Sabonis's basket defense ranks second in the league. Under his defense, opponents only shoot 28% of their shots at the basket.
Although the Blazers have no relevant data, Sabonis' ability to protect the basket does not need data to prove.
This is an influence that can be seen with the eyes.
So Riley told him to focus on protecting the basket, and not to expand the defense if he could.
Riley's use of Sabonis made Louie think of licking Mambago Bell.
Needless to say, this person's defensive ability in the penalty area. In the era of small balls with per capita shooting skills evolving to abnormal, the Jazz resolutely let him implement the defensive method of squatting in the penalty area and not expanding outside in order to maximize his defensive value.
As a result, he won DPOY several times, and the Jazz became the top defensive team in the league. However, in the playoffs, when the defense failed to expand and encountered the group of ball-handling cores who developed the skill of holding the ball and shooting three-pointers to the extreme, the whole world discovered that Gobert was the Jazz's biggest weakness in a sense, and both offense and defense would become breakthroughs for opponents.
But going back to the regular season, they will find that Gobert is the root of the Jazz's strength.
In the Trail Blazers, Riley's use of Sabonis is consistent with Jazz coach Snyder's use of Gobert.
And in the Trail Blazers, fans will feel Sabonis' dominance more fully, and it is not limited to defense. On the offensive end, he is far more valuable than Gobert.
After that, Sabonis tried every means to receive the ball within the finishing radius.
It was difficult for the Knicks to guard him. Although Ewing chose the correct defensive position and raised his hands, Sabonis' height advantage was too obvious.
He pushed Ewing away, scored with a hook, and easily snatched the point back.
His efficiency at the basket is too high, his rebounding impact is strong, and he has a world-class support. It is completely different from Gobert's kind of weirdo who can't play with the ball, can't shoot, and has no offensive threat when he leaves the basket.
It was these rounds that made Louis understand that although the Blazers built their team based on them, Riley is also a top-level coach destined to be famous in basketball history. He can imitate, but he must also innovate.
Riley's innovation is based on the Knicks system.
This innovative direction is one team with two systems.
Obviously, neither Barkley nor the newcomers Thomas and Sabonis can't play the Knicks-style iron-blooded basketball with defense as the core.
To make their arrival produce an effect of 1+1 greater than 2, instead of accommodating each other for success, it is a test of the coach's ability.
That's what Riley did, and the Blazers' starter gave up hard basketball.
Another chapter is late, of course the reason is still the same
