the rest, only noise

Chapter 836 I look forward to your performance

"In the eyes of many people, the Knicks are an invincible team." Trail Blazers coach Pat Riley is as confident as Al Pacino in "The Godfather". "We just want to tell everyone through this game that New York is strong, but not invincible."

Exactly how many people listened to Riley's words cannot be verified.

The New York media's ability to output the mentality of its own team is the same as that of other teams.

The next day, there was a lot of negative public opinion on the Blazers.

The Knicks are free, and the next game is going to Portland, and they still have two days to adjust.

That night, Louie's coaching staff worked overtime to replay the game video of Game2.

Losing the game, Louie returned home that night with few desires.

Lorraine tried her best to seduce him but failed.

"Okay, if all you want to do is sleep with the tape in your hands, don't go to bed tonight!"

Louie pissed off Ballflower.

It has to be said that Lorraine's threat is very powerful.

Louis was forced to go into the house to finish off his wife first, and then return to the small room to continue the replay.

In the second game of the finals, Jordan played bravely.

His shots are almost never missed. It should be said that he perfectly controls his own state.When he finds that shooting feels bad, he will give up shooting and choose to break through.

The Trail Blazers scored 108 points, Jordan scored 48 points, and Barkley scored 60 points in the remaining 29 points.

Barkley's impact on the inside is indeed frightening.

But Jordan is a more thorny issue.

When Ewing goes crazy, he can lock Barkley.

When Ewing, Rodman, Kemp and others are on the court, the Knicks' pocket array has the ability to force Barkley to give up the breakthrough and solve the problem with shooting.

Barkley's shooting is still threatening, but he doesn't have the power to hit the basket.

If he hits the basket, he can grab the rebound as soon as he can't score. If he shoots, as long as he doesn't score, the rebound belongs to the Knicks.

On the other hand, Jordan has no solution for shooting, and there is a solution for breaking through and splitting the ball, but as long as he can distribute the ball, there is no solution.Especially when he distributes the ball to Barkley, once Barkley takes the ball and kills inside again, the Knicks will either allocate manpower to double-team, or count on the inside to defend.

If double-teamed by a numerical advantage, then Barkley can pass the ball back to Jordan. At that time, it is absolutely impossible for the Knicks to organize manpower to trap him.

If you count on the inside defense, Rodman was blown up, Kemp was incited to make an aggressive move, and Ewing's lesson from being troubled by fouls in the first three quarters was enough to give the Knicks some thinking.

The strategy of overwhelming the opponent through the talent advantage of the players is no longer applicable to the Blazers.

For Louis, the most urgent task is to crack the Fliggy connection.

Louie believes Riley will continue a strategy that has worked in Game [-], especially with their fantastic start.

The starters of Porter, Brian Shaw, Jordan, Barkley, and Nance seem to be delivering food to the Knicks, but in fact they are completely betting on the Flying Pigs.

As long as the Flying Pigs stand against the Knicks' starting lineup, Crawford Robinson, Mason and McDaniel can use their talents to destroy the Knicks' second team in the transition period.

The second team is as strong as the Knicks, and there is no way to meet the second team of the Trail Blazers. The talent and athletic ability are completely inferior.

Louie also decided to change the Knicks' starting lineup.

If the Blazers' starting lineup is two kings and three small, then the Knicks can do the opposite. The weaker the opponent's starting lineup, the stronger their own starting lineup. They must grasp the strong start period and not be held back by their double kings.

Louie decided to use the Murder Press on the Blazers at the beginning of Game 3.

It's a tactic they try to avoid playing against the Riley-era Blazers.

The murder press works for other teams, but not for the Blazers.Because the Blazers have been trained by Riley to form a demon army, they love confrontation, wrestling, and advocating hand-to-hand combat.Using murder and pressure on them, they are afraid that it will be too late to be happy.

In terms of physical confrontation, the Blazers are a more extreme team than the Knicks.

It can even be said that in hand-to-hand combat, the Knicks today are no longer as good as this Trail Blazers.

Because they skipped the initial stage of defense, hand-to-hand combat is a tool for stunned young people. Now that the Knicks have entered their peak period as a whole, they are all selected for the best defensive team. Of course, defense must be skillful.

The Blazers' understanding of physical confrontation is still limited to the Knicks in the late 80s. The reason why they can stand out in the West is that in addition to a group of reckless men who are willing to cut themselves, there is also the combination of Jordan and Barkley.

In Game 1, they fought against the Knicks, but they never fought.

At the beginning of the second game, Riley used his brains on the rotation to win.

The Knicks have to do the same.

However, the next day, the Knicks team doctor sent bad news.

Reggie Williams, injured in Game [-], is sidelined indefinitely with a knee contusion.

When will I rest, I don't know.

Louis only knew that once a player with a strong glass attribute like Williams was injured, he had to be kept healthy before using him. Otherwise, if he was allowed to play with a [-]% healthy body, it might lead to a serious injury that would affect his career.

As soon as Louis made a murderous move (using a murderous press), he lost a general.

Williams has been a member of the murder press team for several years. If he can't play, this lineup will have certain problems.

During the training that day, Louie stayed on the training ground abnormally.

He looked first at Vernon Maxwell and then at Danny Ainge.

These two belong to the reserve personnel of the murder press. They are like mad dogs when defending. They can fight and dare to fight. Moreover, they both have reliable three-pointers on the offensive end.

Louie wanted Maxwell to play, and then he saw Ainge get into an argument with Wilson over the ball.

"You fucked the ball first, don't argue with me!" Angie pointed to the sideline, "You were standing here at the time, and Patrick could see it clearly!"

Wilson sarcastically said: "It would be great if we could all get relatives and friends to testify in court."

Louis waited for them to finish their quarrel, and asked Angie to come to his office after the match.

After ten minutes, Angie came.

Before Louis could speak, Angie said first: "If you want to teach me about what happened with Benj just now, I can only say that you are partial enough."

"That's right, I'm going to punish you for that. Why do you rely on the old and sell the old to fight with Benj?" Louis put on a protective face, "Do you believe I will trade you to the Clippers as soon as the season is over?"

Angie was really not sure if Louie was serious.

"How do you want to punish me?"

"I'm going to punish you for starting the next game, being part of a murderous tight end, biting the Blazers no matter what."

Louis looked coldly.

"Especially MJ." Louie said coldly, "I want you to entangle him, use the same disobedience just now, harass him, annoy him, and use all means to influence his performance."

Angie didn't expect this kind of "punishment".

"Before you 'punished' me like this, I was seriously considering retiring." Ainge said truthfully, "I don't feel the fun of playing in New York."

Louis said seriously: "If you need, I can send you to a place where you can play."

"No, I would rather be on a competitive team than not being able to play." Angie said proudly, "Since you still need me, it means I'm not as useless as I thought."

When Ainge first arrived in Boston, Louie was his shooting coach.

In a blink of an eye, he was a veteran ready to consider retiring.

As a veteran who was squeezed out by young people and had few chances to play, Ainge stabilized the Knicks' locker room and never got angry about playing time. This is why Louie respects him.

"Portland is a tough nut to crack and the strongest opponent the Knicks have ever faced in the Finals."

Louis chose the former between Angie and Maxwell, not only because Angie had more experience, but also because he and Bird had been teammates and faced the tragedy division. Unlike Maxwell, who was more than ferocious, but when he met an angry Jordan, his momentum was automatically weak for three points.

"I need you guys who are involved in the press to give the team a good start, to force them to disrupt the rotation, to get those real starters back in the game as soon as possible," Louie said. "I need you to set an example for the team."

Angie was silent for more than ten seconds before replying to Louis: "Can you trust me?"

"Otherwise, why should I tell you these things?" Louis smiled helplessly.

"That's right." Angie snorted and said confidently, "I won't make any promises to you. You know that I am old and not as energetic as I was when I was young, but as long as you let me play, I promise that I will leave all my internal organs in the Memorial Stadium."

"It doesn't need to be so bloody. My children also watch the live broadcast of the game. You will scare them."

As Angie was about to leave, Louie added, "You just have to leave the guts of MJ or Fatty Alabama at Memorial Coliseum."

"Then it won't be bloody and won't scare the children?"

"The child will grow up sooner or later." Louis said with a smile, "I look forward to your performance."
