the rest, only noise

Chapter 794 The Importance of Love

The Celtics can't handle the Knicks' starting lineup without Bird and Lambiel playing.

Stockton, Wilson and Miller's three-point threats can cover the entire perimeter.

Entering the transition period, the Celtics' offensive and defensive intensity dropped sharply, but the Knicks had Kemp, Reggie Williams, Miller, Chris Jackson and John Sely behind them.

Moreover, the Knicks have a lot of people in the rotation who can handle the ball, and it's easy to find the Celtics' weaknesses-of course, after the Celtics lost Reggie Lewis, they were originally going to give away the weaknesses on the court to their opponents.

The Knicks showed the entire league how to beat the Celtics.

It only needs a simple 2/5 (the pick-and-roll between the second position and the fifth position) or 1/5 pick-and-roll (the pick-and-roll between the first position and the fifth position), let the inside line open, the ball holder breaks through and then pass the ball to the inside line or striker, you can casually ravage the Celtics' other dislocation points and defensive weaknesses.

The most exciting period of the Knicks-Celtics game was the few minutes when Chris Jackson first came up.

Louis asked the whole team to cooperate with him.

In a trance, Jackson returned to his college days controlling the Thunder. He was the second player after Pete Maravich to make LSU's basketball game crazy and attractive.

Jackson scored 8 points on 5-of-14 shooting in the first few minutes.

It was his offense that made it difficult for the Celtics to fight back.

It also confused the Celtics' operations during the offseason.

Don't want Steve Smith-the talented second position that the Celtics urgently need to strengthen-even the Bird successor Reggie Lewis who has been trained, but Billy Owens.

Chris Jackson, an important bargaining chip acquired in the Thomas trade, although his rookie season was in the end, but the third pick deserves at least two years of patience, right?This is also the position that the Celtics urgently need to supplement, but they still don't want it.

Now, Owens does not seem to be a combination of Tragedy + Bird, Chris Jackson seems to be very powerful immediately?

Being able to enter the rotation in the Knicks and pinning Angie to death on the bench is enough to explain the problem.

The game is going on, and as long as the Knicks can entangle Sampson, there will be no variables.

The Knicks have quite a strong inside reserve, and, to deal with Sampson, they are not obsessed with the inside, but count on the flanking attack.

What kind of cattle are those on the Knicks' flanks?
Dennis Rodman officially transitioned to the fourth position this season, but he can also play the top defensive wing at the third position. In addition to changing his hair color every game, he is also obsessed with rebounding.After the dark side of his character was released, his position on the field seemed to be blackened. The number of attacks and abuse of opponents increased greatly, and small moves and damages also emerged in endlessly. Today, Doug Smith was eliminated in less than halftime.

Wilson, one of the top six in the league, has both offense and defense;
Reggie Williams, the starting level of the All-Star team with high quality and low price among active players, can attack and defend well;

Alex Stevens, portraying the spirit of the Knicks in the Louie era;
There are also Sely, Kemp and McHale. The existence of these people made the Knicks launch an extreme double-team strategy against Sampson.

As long as Sampson has the ball, the double-team rate is 100%.

In this game, Louis let people see the Knicks' various tactics against the Celtics-the high-post dynamic offense is what the Celtics are most afraid of. When Miller and Wilson didn't fire, Chris Jackson's performance has made the Celtics helpless.Fans with a little experience will find that as long as the Knicks focus on the high position, the Celtics really can only let them shoot.

Sampson's ability to protect the basket is top in the league, but because of this, he is trapped in the penalty area and cannot escape.If he leaves the restricted area, the Celtics' basket will be blown.

To be shot through or to be blown up, that is the question, they choose to be shot through.

Stockton's pick-and-roll also played tricks, eating up the Celtics' defensive weaknesses to death, and when the Celtics defended the pick-and-roll and outside rolls, either Sampson could not come back, or the bottom corner defense came slowly, and they had no enthusiasm for the rotation later, and their mentality gradually collapsed.

In the second half, Billy Owens played a little bit.

However, it is not convincing enough.

Because the game has been close to garbage time since then.

The Knicks led the Celtics by 24 points for a long time.

Owens' matchup changed from Wilson to Reggie Williams and Stevens.

As a star player, Wilson must have wanted to confront the youngsters and try his depth when he heard that Owens was being blown so outrageously.

Not so much with Williams and Stevens.

When you are leading by a big score, you can defend casually, and it doesn't matter if you miss one occasionally.

The intensity has come down, and Owens' characteristics are also revealed to the world one by one.

If you only look at Owens from the level of college basketball, Louie can understand that some scouts call him a combination of tragedy master and Bird.

Although his physical fitness is poor and his shooting is not eye-catching, he has excellent ball-handling skills and excellent organizational skills.

At the collegiate level, he looks like he can do anything.

But in the NBA, what he can do is top-level control and first-class organization at the same height.

Louis speculates that Owens will probably average around 15-7-4 for several years in the future.

How is this different from Rodney McCray SF/SG/PG⑴?If Louie were a scout, he would definitely compare Owens to McRae.

If McCree's metaphor seems too abstract, Louie has a choice.

For example, Brad Miller, he is an organizational center and shines in the Princeton system, but will someone say he is Sabonis?

That's one thing Louie can't stand about contemporary scouts, who have a tendency to overblown, as if paid, when they profile top rookie prospects.

Louis believes that within a few years, the exchange of Owens’ signing rights to Steve Smith’s signing rights and Reggie Lewis’s deal in the summer of 1991 will become the highlight of the Heat’s godfather Lewis Shafier’s career.

Auerbach gets all the praise and deserves the blame when things go wrong.

With his performance in the second half, Owens scored 18 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists.

The media who don't watch the game but just watch the data can continue to blow the bubble that Owens is a combination of a tragedy master and Bird with this pile of unnutritious data.

But within half a season, they'll wake up, look at what Lewis and Steve Smith did in Miami, and the stupid media will wake up and find out that the Celtics front office made a stupid deal that can be recorded in history.

126 is better than 104
The Knicks won the game by 22 points.

Ewing had 26 points and 11 rebounds, Wilson had 22 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, Rodman had 6 points and 16 rebounds, Stockton had 7 points and 8 assists, and Chris Jackson, who played 19 minutes off the bench, scored 22 points efficiently.

"To be honest, I was very happy when Boston proposed to trade CJ. I know that CJ is like Dale Ellis and Kevin McHale. He is a buried player. The team that selected them did not show their strengths, but I have the confidence to reshape his career." .”

Louie was less polite about Billy Owens.

"I wouldn't say he played well," Louie said hurtfully. "Anyone who watched the game wouldn't say he played well."

"When the team needed him, you couldn't find him on the court because he was replaced. As a supernova who was highly anticipated, how could he be replaced when the team was hiring? Because he was not good. But in the end, we found that he had good numbers.

Louie added tartly: "Understandably, that's the only thing they can read."

Chris Jackson also received attention, and his style of play made the New York media shine.

Compared with Stockton, Jackson's performance has attracted more attention.Because Stockton never does things that are not planned, he will always abide by his duty, be stable, but not surprised, just like a person who has been using missionaries to "teach" his wife all his life.

In contrast, Jackson is a more "interesting" person.

"The coach told me to do everything possible to be myself. I'm not a bad player, yes, I'm good, I know I'm good, but in the past year, everyone said I'm a parallel importer, I've had enough of these words." Jackson vowed, "I was the No. 1990 pick in [-], I deserve this pick, I will prove myself in New York, I swear."

⑴ One of the main players of the 86 Rockets, the data of 14+7+4 in the peak period was ruined by Dupin.
