"I hope these opening minutes can make you understand that the Knicks in the first game are not their true level." Pat Riley said loudly, "Guys, they are serious, you have to be serious and give the ball to

Erwin, let him handle it!"

After the timeout, Lakers assistant coach Bill Bertka said worriedly: "Pat, there is an obvious conflict in our lineup, and only Ma Ji can open up space on the outside."

The person on the team who can open up the most space can't open up the space for himself. The Lakers don't pay much attention to the "tragedyman's dilemma". The conflict in the configuration of players on the court made Riley think deeply.

"If our goal is to attack the penalty area, this lineup is the best."

But everything is destroyed by one but.

The Knicks have a defensive weakness and a relative opening.

They are Miller at No. 2 and Stockton at No. 1. The former is limited by physical conditions and the latter is limited by speed.

Therefore, the tragic player took the ball from the outside and called the pick-and-roll to force the Knicks to switch defense.

The person who switches defense with McHale is Wilson. According to the general procedure, the person who switches to defend the tragedy is Miller, but Louis has arranged this rotation in advance, because the other players of the Lakers do not have a three-point threat, so if they want to

Using a roll call tactic, others can give up their outside defenders and take a long route to switch defenses.

"Even you can't guard against me!"

The tragedy maker confidently turned his back at the three-point line and pushed Wilson's body all the way to the free throw line. Suddenly, as if he had eyes growing on the back of his head, he grabbed the ball and swung it straight away.

pass.

The ball was given to Derek McKay who was cutting inside. Just as McKay was about to dunk, an angry King Kong turned around and slapped the ball to the ground.

“!#￥@##……”

Wilson quickly stepped down, and his teammate's long pass was then in place.

Kevin Johnson is back, but as a defender, what's the use of him besides adding an audience to Wilson?

Wilson didn't take him seriously. Even if KJ's physical fitness exploded and could effectively interfere with his offense, he never took the opponent's defense into his eyes...

"boom!"

Wilson dunked again.

9 to 0

"The Lakers' timeout made them feel lonely," Hubie Brown said. "The Knicks have gotten over the shadow of losing the first game, and the Lakers seem to think that the Knicks in the first game are normal."

Riley looked at Wilson, then at the rest of the Knicks.

It's hard for him to believe this is a basketball team.

They obviously played well, but they didn't smile and didn't look like they were relaxing at all.

The Knicks' defense was so suffocating after the opening game, but from their perspective, it seemed like it was just an appetizer before the meal.

Riley has believed for several years that the 1988 Celtics lost to the Knicks because that team was plagued by injuries.

This may be true, but a win is a win.

Now facing the Knicks in person with all the personnel, Riley has a whole new feeling.

Wilson no longer presses the Lakers' ball handler full court.

Because the job of carrying the ball through half court was suddenly transferred from KJ to the hands of the tragedy maker.

Giving up the full-court press is like a recognition of the tragic player. Wilson believes that the full-court press is not very meaningful for this person because it is difficult for them to grab the ball and may cause too much investment in the frontcourt.

The line of defense was breached.

The tragedy maker dribbled into the frontcourt. Because he started at the 4th position, the Knicks' matchup looked particularly abstract.

McHale goes to the top of the key to guard him, and suddenly, David Robinson has good one-on-one space.

The scoring-hungry Lakers need a steady goal.

The tragedy maker chose to believe in his teammates, hoisted the ball and gave it to Robinson comfortably.

"How can it be that easy?"

Louis sneered. Just when Robinson was about to attack, Wilson on the left and Miller on the right simultaneously let go of their opponents and came over to attack.

Robinson was so frightened that he quickly put away the ball and was about to pass it to Pippen or McKay who were in the open position. However, Ewing behind him was not afraid of fouling and boldly shot his ball to the ground.

Wilson quickly picked up the ball.

"That's it!" Woody Allen stood up and applauded excitedly, "Don't give them any chance!"

MSG has only a few more celebrity fans than the forums in Los Angeles.

At this time, it was almost four minutes into the game and the Lakers had not scored a single goal.

The lob was beaten by Robinson and he made a mistake after being double-teamed. It seemed that the tragedy maker's patience was exhausted.

He wanted to do something special to change the situation on the court.

Before that, they have to build a good defense first.

The Lakers retreated in time, and Stockton saw no chance and passed the ball to Wilson.

Wilson changed direction in front of his body, shook off Pippen's defense, and accelerated, but did not completely get rid of the latter.

Pippen's potential as the number one defensive lock on the wing in the 1990s has been shown, and his defense is full of resilience.

Wilson's offensive path was delayed, and the Lakers' defensive replacement had been completed. He immediately stopped to collect the ball and passed it back to Miller on the outside.

MSG's noise begins to intensify.

Miller didn't take a shot when he got an open position. Instead, he used his shooting action to attract the help of David Robinson, who had just retreated to defense. When the Admiral came to him, he made a lob and directed the Jamaica King Kong to insert the basket from the center.

Transform into the American King Kong and fly to the highest area of ​​the court to blast the basket.

"11 to 0!"

"In the first 4 minutes, the Lakers couldn't score a single point!"

"It seems that the failure of Game 1 angered the Knicks. You can't see any smiles on their faces. It was obviously an 11-0 situation, but in their eyes it seemed as serious as 0-11!"

Riley was about to call another timeout, but the tragedy master persuaded him to stop.

The tragedy master waved his hand, indicating to the coaching staff that he could handle the situation.

The coaching staff could only believe in him. Unfortunately, the coach took the ball all the way from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and the person who mainly defended him was still McHale.

Because he is a three-point threat that shoots 40% of the time and scores 2 goals per game, McHale often defends him closely.

With McHale's current athletic ability, it would be very easy for the tragic player to break through with the ball.

And this is exactly the starting point of the middle trap set by Louis for the Tragedy Master.

When the tragedy maker breaks through with the ball, what awaits him is Ewing's delay and Stockton's attack, plus Wilson's blocking of the passing route.

The tragedy master knows that there is a deceit, but he still does not hesitate.

Nix's ambush was premeditated, and from the tragedy master's perspective, it was not an accident.

When the ambush appeared, the tragedy maker actually chose to attack head-on, collect the ball, carry Ewing's body, and perform a fancy reverse layup using his physical talent and unparalleled aerial coordination to put the ball into the basket.

2 to 11

"Evan, can you give my trap some face?" Louis complained to the Tragedy Master who was returning to the defense. "You rush in and treat my trap as if it's nothing, making my job very difficult!"

The Knicks' head coach is the only smiling person on the court.

The tragedy master said modestly: "I did it reluctantly, Coach Lu."

Today's tragedy maker, his long-range three-pointers, mid-range emergency stops, breakthroughs to the basket and relying on his body to attack or fancy layups after pulling the lever, can still be used as a pivot or as a main attacker. It is not an exaggeration to say that his low-post skills

Say, this is the core of the offense that will be perfect for the past 30 years and the next 30 years.

As far as the upper limit of his personal ability is concerned, the tragedy maker has surpassed the peak of Bird, and the lower limit of leading the team is also obviously better than Jordan. Typical wing aces like Kobe can only have stronger ability to lead the team than the ball-carrying core.

Big ball-carrying core.

In Louis's eyes, only James in the 2018 playoffs can compare to this version of the tragedy master.

Unfortunately, the Lakers only need to put two or three reliable shooters around the tragedy maker to make the power inside this man burst out, but the Lakers don't have it.

Although Pippen, KJ, McKay and others are all good players, they are not so good players for tragedians.

Originally the best point guard in history, he is still the best in history. But if Curry's future achievements are still the same as Louis' previous life, then he will definitely have the confidence to compete with the tragedy master for the seat of the number one point guard in history. This is

The tragedy of Irvin Johnson; in 1990, he was already the first ball-handling core in history, but he could not have his own salute team to unleash his full potential. This is another tragedy of his.

Cedric Maxwell, who has retired, probably never imagined that a joke he made in the Finals would stay with Earvin Johnson for the rest of his life.

Ewing catches the ball in the low post and it's fun to watch him hit Robinson with his back.

First, Ewing's ball-handling isolation is not top-notch among super centers. Second, Robinson's back-up defense is not outstanding among super centers.

These two are going to fight, and it's hard to say who will win and who will lose.

"I bet you $100 that this guy is going to fake a move and then step up to the line and take that stupid shot!" Louie said loudly.

Ewing heard Louis' complaints, and even though he was very angry, he had to say that Louis understood him quite well.

He was clearly thinking that this whole different life would open up Louis' eyes, but he reflexively turned around to face the basket with his hands and feet, and stepped onto the line to challenge Robinson.

The Admiral's defense rested firmly on him.

At the last moment, Ewing roared, pushed Robinson's body away, and jumped up with force from his feet. Later generations called this shot the bunny jump shot.

"Whoa!"

"What did I say! What did I say?" Louis shouted triumphantly, "I know what this guy is planning as soon as he gets the ball!"

"Yes, just like every time you announce to lose weight, I bet that your weight loss plan will fail."

Ewing's ordinary words allowed Coach Lu to break his defense.

"What nonsense are you talking about, you Jamaican bastard? What can I do if my body doesn't want to lose weight? Do you think it doesn't have a mind and soul of its own?"

"Calm down, calm down, Coach Lu!"
