The Rest, Only Noise

Benjamin Wilson's offense makes Pat Riley's heart skip a beat.

For the first time, he had the idea that "maybe we shouldn't be superstitious about heads-up." Before the start of the game, he would never have such an idea, but Louie gave him a "surprise", of course, it can also be said to be frightened.

The essence of the roll call tactics was thoroughly reflected in Wilson.

Through constant pick-and-roll, the Knicks can expose the weak points of the Blazers' defensive end to Wilson's butcher's knife.

Barkley and Nance, Wilson can force a blast with speed.

Thomas is a small guard that Wilson can do whatever he wants.

In addition, Wilson was feeling overwhelmed tonight. In the second half of the first quarter, when Louis was determined to fight the roll call to the end, the Blazers responded passively, as strong as Jordan, and were suppressed.

Wilson scored 18 points in a single quarter to lead the Knicks into the second quarter with a 29-22 score in the Game 7.

In addition to scoring, Wilson also scored 4 rebounds and 2 assists. The data of 18+4+2 in a single quarter is incredible in the finals.

What's more, it's a tiebreaker.

"Bill, Erwin, what do you think of benj's performance in the first quarter?"

asked Bob Costas during the break.

Laimbeer criticized Jordan: "I don't think Michael's done well enough. Whether he's defending or attacking, he's a notch worse than benj. Game 7 of the finals is the biggest stage in the NBA, if he wants to prove that he is The ruler of this generation, he has to stand up in this kind of competition."

The tragic has a different opinion: "I don't think Michael will back down in this situation, he still has three quarters to respond, it's benj, I think he has too much individual offense, although he throws Scored those goals, but if he can't figure out a way to activate his teammates, he can't continue that momentum, and it's difficult for him to carry the touch in the first quarter into the next three quarters because the Blazers will defend him more rough."

For the Knicks, Louie adjusted the lineup.

He replaced Raouf, replaced Stockton, replaced Stevens, and put Kemp at the four.

Finally, his eyes fell on John Salley.

Sally held his breath, eager to stand on the garden floor again.

However, instead of naming his name, Louie gave him a deep look and turned to Ewing: "Patrick, I think you've had enough rest."

As a result, the Knicks second lineup is basically determined.

Louie didn't replace Wilson, who played the full first quarter, and used the Knicks' most common starting lineup to play the transitional game.

"It is still our regular way of playing to be called by benj. At the same time, we also have a great advantage in the inside line. Therefore, the offensive end must judge the situation and attack in the most reasonable way."

As for defense, there is no need for extra arrangements from Louie. This is the guy who eats for the Knicks, and the players know what to do.

The Blazers, on the other hand, swapped out Barkley, Robinson and Nance, pairing Thomas and Jordan with Jerome Cauchy, Xavier McDaniel, and Anthony Mason.

Swap Thomas for Clifford Robinson and that's the Verdun line.

But Louie doesn't rule out Riley's use of a Verdun line of defense that includes Thomas.

The Knicks have the kickoff in the second quarter.

Ewing threw the ball to Stockton, and the Blazers' players' positions let them know that the opponent wasn't going to let them go through the half.

Jordan, Cauchy, and McDaniel pressed the frontcourt, Thomas stood by in midfield, and Mason guarded the backfield.

It's a 3-1-1 formation, but the Blazers don't seem to be trying to force the Knicks into turnovers, but rather based on sufficient physical confrontation to affect the shooting feel and slow down the Knicks' offensive rhythm.

Stockton struggled to get the ball past halftime to Wilson.

Wilson waved for Ewing's pick-and-roll.

Ewing's pick-and-roll quality is the best, and even Jordan wouldn't even think of getting through it.

But the Blazers have long been designed for this situation, and the lack of a big center is also to be able to quickly switch defenses at this time.

Mason brought his incomparably strong muscles to the front of Wilson.

But Wilson is not as imposing as the first quarter, and he wants to find teammates more than individual offense.

But the Blazers didn't draw too many people to guard him, so no teammates were left open.

Wilson lost the offensive rhythm and could only stop the ball and wait for a response.

It can be said that this is an offensive interruption caused by a wrong judgment on the spot.

Wilson felt so good in the first quarter, he should continue to attack, which is why Louie let him go back and forth in the second quarter.

But Wilson seemed to overcomplicate matters.

He remembered the damage that his previous lone wolf play had caused to the team. The guilty Conqueror even saw the disappointment of his teammates in the singles, so he would not shoot, even if he was feeling good.

The imminent lesson made him rein in his desires, but for Louie it was a classic "right wrong choice".

He was right, but considering the Knicks needed a breakout point to deform the Blazers' defense, and Wilson just played that role in the first quarter, he needed to keep doing that, and he didn't.

Wilson stopped the ball and the Knicks had 6 seconds left.

Stockton took the ball from the outside, and he had no one to pass. He was forced to choose a three-point dry pull after changing direction.

How abstract is this scene.

But considering that he's defending against Thomas, does it seem reasonable?

Stockton, who had a mediocre presence throughout the series, finally left his bright spot.

This record made a three-pointer at the buzzer in the face of Thomas and made it.

32 to 22

The Knicks have a 10-point lead.

In the frontcourt, the Blazers really changed.

Thomas dribbled the ball, showing disdain for Stockton's defense, and after a strong change of direction, the latter's defense was already rotten.

The gap is so big that Stockton can't even play dirty.

Thomas threw Stockton far away and shot an arrow on horseback outside the paint, hitting the board over Ewing's fingers.

Louie had a feeling, and Riley copied it again.

He couldn’t say that the Blazers’ attack just now was also a roll call, because the roll call strategy was to point out the loopholes in the opponent’s defense, and the matchup between Thomas and Stockton was originally a natural unequal matchup.

In order to confirm whether his judgment was correct, Louie signaled Miller and Stockton to switch.

Miller's defense is not good in the Knicks, but it is average in the league. He has a very fast footstep. Although he will be passed by Thomas, he can entangle and interfere with his long arms. Now Thomas has lost the explosive power of his youth. If he is looking for a one-on-one opponent, Stockton is definitely a better choice.

The Knicks' offense was blocked by the Blazers' high intensity. According to the tactics, Miller should run out of opportunities, but the opponent's defense follows suit and switches defenses so quickly that they don't give any chance at all.

Wilson's pass found Miller, but the chances were not good.

There was not much time left for the attack, and Miller could only force the shot.

McDaniel, who was switched over, invaded Miller's cylinder like a mad dog, causing the latter to land erratically. This time, Miller bruised his ankle.

Miller missed a three-pointer, and the Blazers had a chance to fight back.

Thomas was about to accelerate with the ball, and Stockton finally got his chance.

He was in a good position to deliver a claw on Thomas's way that the audience in msg didn't even see.

The referee barely gave the whistle, but Thomas went berserk on the spot, jumping up and knocking Stockton down.

As long as he was still alive after getting up, Louis could be sure that Stockton missed the target, and the subsequent conflict did not spread further. The two sides spat trash at each other. replace.

"Coach Lu, don't change John, that's all he does!"

The speaker was Woody Allen, the Knicks' number one celebrity fan before Spike Lee.

If Director Lee is Miller Black, Allen is Stockton Black.

Even if Stockton is the core guard of the Knicks dynasty's five consecutive championships, he still cannot get his approval. Can't blame Allen, who became a Knicks fan in the early '70s. Who was the Knicks' leading guard at the time? It's Walter Fraser and Earl Monroe, the former is Dr. J from New York, the latter claims that every attack is different, and the style of play is very ornamental, but Stockton is always the same. A white guard who doesn't play the game in one way.

Louis will not be influenced by others~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to replace Stockton, not to quell the incident, but to see if the Blazers really adopted the roll call tactics.

The person who replaced Stockton was Reggie Williams. By the way, Louie also replaced Miller, who wanted to stick to the game. He played from the opening to the present and was mainly targeted by the Blazers. Now he has injured his ankle. To be on the safe side, let the team doctor take a look at it first.

Bob Costas was taken aback when he saw the Knicks' substitution list: "Doug Christie? Coach Lu? What are you doing, Coach Lu? It's a time like this to switch to someone who hasn't played a second in six games before. rookie?"

The tragic master chose to help Louis round the field: "Coach Lu often does amazing things, I'm not surprised."

"I don't think this rookie can help. The reason is very simple. If he can help, Coach Lu would have let him play..." Laimbeer didn't know Louis' intention to do so, "but I still believe it. Coach Lu will not replace him for no reason."
