Knicks training ground. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the moment, the clouds are thickening, as if a rainstorm is about to fall.

It's still a huge sunny day outside, though.

"What are you doing? Cheer me up! Did you hear that??? "Reed. Holzman reprimanded loudly, because all this in front of him was like a ghost song buried before the dead, and it made people feel depressed and depressed when they looked at it. Usually for coach Reed. Holzman, everyone is still extremely respectful and obedient, no matter what the former says, they will instantly nod and obey the order. But today, everyone clearly has a sense of absent-mindedness.

That's why it was yesterday.

The Lakers are a good roster, but aren't they the New York Knicks? When it comes to the future "Top 50 Superstars" and Hall of Famers, they obviously have a numerical advantage. But even so, last night was a mess and a failure. It can even be said that the Knicks have not lost so ugly this season.

So everyone's mood is inevitably a little fluctuating.

The main thing is that they don't know if they lose, but there is no definite answer to these key questions about where, how, and why they lost. In this way, it is easy to lose one's way and lose one's ambition. Therefore, the atmosphere of today's Knicks training is very dull and gloomy.

Coach Reid. Holzman also realized this, so he stood up and said loudly: "What's going on with everyone? Is it all wilted? Or are you just a bunch of stray wild dogs, who only bully the weak, but are afraid of being tough? The Knicks players didn't squeak, although their faces flashed unconvinced, but when they thought of yesterday's "fiasco", they were depressed again.

You said it lightly, what happened yesterday, you also saw it? The tactical strength of the Lakers is really terrible, and we are simply powerless, okay? In the face of this situation, what is the use of just cheering up? After cheering up, was it brutally abused by the other party again?

It's normal for the Knicks to feel this kind of emotion, because anyone can feel like they're on the verge of collapse when faced with a style of play that is ahead of their time. But at this moment, Knicks head coach Reed. Holzman yelled, "A bunch of unproductive things! The enemy is strong, so you are eggs. Shrunken? Don't forget, you're also a contender for the championship! You're not here to be a foil and a green leaf! Do you understand???? ”

"Think about it two years ago, think about the finals the year before that, if you all had the same mentality back then, we would still be able to grab seven wins? Can we still beat the Lakers? "Reed. Holzman exclaimed, "Why does the champion give out a ring at the end?" Why not a watch? Not a necklace? Nothing else? Have you all thought about it? ”

"It's an imitation of MLB's system!"

"It's the Lord of the Rings of Imitation!"

"It's because in our Western world, rings have a special historical significance!"

The Knicks' answers are simply varied, from sports to humanities, from humanities to history, in short, more and more off-topic. Hear this Reed. Holzman finally couldn't listen anymore and interrupted, "What kind of bullshit? Is that what you mean by NBA championship rings? ”

"I'm telling you, the main reason why the NBA awards rings and doesn't give out anything else is because...... The ring is the embodiment of power, identity, and trust. "Seeing that everyone else was drawn to his words, Reed. Holzman cleared his throat and continued to speak: "I won't say much about the first two, the meaning and meaning are clear to everyone, and here I will mainly talk about the third point, trust." ”

Reed. Holzman does have a set, and under his guidance, the players of the New York Knicks gradually diverted their attention. "Why is it still the embodiment of trust?" Reed. Holzman explains: "Because rings, in a sense, also have the meaning of wholeness, roundness, harmony, and by extension, the connection and the finger. You see, five fingers can be clenched into a fist, and the ring is the result of five fingers being integrated into one. ”

"So for me, the strongest essence of the ring is not the boss, not the star, not how great I am." With all that said, Reed. Holzman showed off his left hand, and on that longest finger, he was wearing a golden championship ring. And this ring, most of the Knicks veterans, they also own one.

It was the 1969-1970 season, the symbol of the king of the NBA, the first NBA championship ring of the New Yorkers.

"Think about it, how we laughed and ended up laughing that season, and how we got this NBA championship ring. Relying on the play of superstars? maybe~ relies on a fierce hand-to-hand combat defensive strategy? maybe~ but the real most important thing is ......" Reed. Holzman stretched out his left hand again and said in a loud voice, "We are five!" There may be long and short, there may be thick and thin, but it doesn't matter, because we are a whole, because we are a team, so we can be invincible and destroy all the enemies who stand in the way! That's what I understand as the essence of an NBA championship ring, you know? ”

I have to say, Reed. Holzmann was indeed the "master" head coach of that era, and the decade of "lying on the salary and trying the courage" cultivated a thorough tactical concept. So what is the ultimate purpose of coaching? Obviously, it's about winning for your team! Don't talk about those examples and words of "friendship first, game second", that kind of talk is okay to deceive 3-year-old children, in the NBA league where all adults are involved, if you want to talk about this, it will make people laugh out of their teeth!

Second in the game? So why are you still playing in the NBA?

Friendship first? How dare you say that, see which team owner will sign you?

Some people understand the first layer, some people understand the second layer, and some people understand the third layer.

He is the No. 18 of the New York Knicks, Phil. Jackson.

"The more difficult the game, the more difficult the opponent, the more the series with no chance, believe me, if you win, you will never forget! That's why, only the champion team deserves a ring! "Reed. Holzman saw that the effect had risen, so he said: "Tonight's game, let's ...... like this"

"Do you understand???

"Understood! Mr! The Knicks responded loudly.

"Okay~ keep practicing, and then tomorrow, let's kick the Los Angeles people in the ass!" Reed. Holzman said with a smile on his face.

The next day, Game 4 of the NBA1971-1972 Finals was played again in Madison Square Garden.

Tang Qian originally thought that after the Lakers introduced the "future tactical system", they would become invincible and win all the way to the end, but the real history once again showed him what it means to be "the ancients cannot be bullied". Yes, the Knicks didn't find a way to deal with the Lakers' "high pick-and-roll system", but what does that mean?

Could it be that he can only be caught with his hands tied?

Reed. Holzman told Tang Qian why he was so popular with the "Zen master" Phil in later generations. Jackson's admiration.

This New Yorker, who has served in the US Navy for many years, has come up with a super "handsome" background.

I can't crack your "new tactical system" in a short time, then I admit it, but you guys, don't want to win easily and win this season's NBA championship. The specific method is to ...... "strong hand-to-hand combat". What is "hand-to-hand combat"? The Lakers quickly learned that the New Yorkers actually changed their starting five in Game 4.

Replaced with two less well-known interior players.

Respectively, Charlie. Paulk and Eddie. Mast.

These two players are both interior players, and they both have one thing in common, that is, their career data, which is very bleak and very unpopular. To what extent does it not enter the stream, the average per game is only about 2+2. The people who got this kind of average data per game in the 60s and 70s were basically "historical passers-by", and they would leave the league and find another development after a few years. These two are typical examples of this, and they both faded out of the league with only 3 years of career life.

However, it can be "famous" Reed. Whoever Holzman is selected for the playoff squad must be useful, and they must all have a skill. For example, the two of them are, the defense is particularly ruthless and fierce! Pay attention to see clearly, it's not that the defense is particularly good, but it simply refers to the "ferocious" aspect. How ferocious, you ask? As long as you dare to go to the basket in front of you, it doesn't matter if you can block it or not, it will be a slap in the face; As long as you dare to grab a rebound in front of you, then you will be fouled, and you will be forced to get out, and if you don't go out, you will be forcibly "sent" out.

This is an important tactic for the Knicks, and it's also an important part of Reed's strategy. The heart of Holzman's defense.

Because in his opinion, defense is not how good your physical fitness is, how tall you are, how strong you are, but whether you are determined, brave or not, and how brave you are! As long as you are brave and determined, then even if the other person is 40cm taller and weighs 100 pounds than you, it is not a problem.

How? It will be revealed immediately.

Beep~Beep~Beep~

In the first quarter, the Lakers frequently walked to the free throw line and made nearly 20 free throws.

What is this concept? That means the New York Knicks committed at least ten or so fouls in a single quarter.

And according to the rule of 6 fouls, 1 and a half people have already been sent off.

And so it is, Charlie. Paulk was the first to graduate with 6 fouls, and the other person was Eddie. Master also had three fouls. That is to say, the Knicks seemed to have a lot of fouls in the first quarter, but the real "main force" suffered very little. However, the Lakers' overall free throw shooting rate was not good, Tang Qian made 0 of 4 free throws, and Harpy. Hairston made 2 of 8 free throws, Jerry. West made 1 of 4 free throws, Gail. Goodrich made 0 of 2 free throws. In a total of 18 free throws, the Lakers only scored a measly 3 points, shooting 16.6% from the free-throw line.

A full 15 points were penalized.

The Knicks, on the other hand, maintained their normal offensive state, and finally ended the first quarter 26-38, with the Lakers trailing the Knicks by 12 points.

The second quarter was similar to the situation, although the Lakers insisted on playing the "high post blocking and dismantling tactics" and the effect of creating shooting opportunities was obvious, the problem was that opportunities were just opportunities and could not be directly equated with scoring. At the end of the game, he was strongly interfered with by the Knicks and intercepted strongly.

In fact, after the Knicks halftime, there are not many block data, let alone steal data, but why can they "block" the Lakers' score? Relying on an almost "suicidal hand-to-hand defense strategy". If you want to shoot from the outside, then forget it, and if you enter, you are great, but as long as you come to the inside to shoot, then you will be able to "peel off the skin if you don't die".

As we all know, the Lakers' "mental attributes" have never been their strengths, and if there is not a "paranoid No. 24" in history, then most of them are "ordinary people" in the "spiritual world". This is not a discussion of strength or ball skills, but a simple competition of "mental toughness", whether the Lakers are ordinary players or supergiants, they are a bit of the same level, "powerless".

Jerry. West entered the finals 7 times, and all of them returned with feathers; Elgin. Baylor is known as the "King of Eight Ya", which is even more pitiful.

But if you think about it deeply, is it really just bad luck and bad luck?

You can say that once you can, and you can barely pull it on 2 times, but what about 345678 times? Every time it is the "overall runner-up", then I am afraid that in addition to luck and fate, there must be something else. Light take Elgin. In Baylor's career, in all series, the tie-break was almost certain to lose. The first was the '59-60 season, when the West Finals lost to the Hawks. Then came the '60-61 season, the same opponent as last year, the Western Conference Finals, which lost to the Hawks. In the 61-62 season, he lost to the Boston Celtics in the finals. In the 65-66 season, the Celtics lost to the Celtics in the finals, allowing the opponent to achieve the historic feat of 8 consecutive championships. There is also the 68-69 season, the Finals tie-break failed, even if West won the only "loser MVP" in NBA history, it still has no meaning. There was also the 69-70 season, or the failure of the Finals tie-break, which gave the New Yorkers their first taste of the NBA championship trophy.

There are so many examples of failed ties, could it be that they can be lightly brought by just a mouthful of "bad luck"?

Overall, because the Lakers team is located in Los Angeles, the "City of Angels", its gorgeousness, luxury, greatness, and a lot of other praise can be used on it. But only in terms of "mental will", the word was not used for most of the Lakers' team history.

And this one also means this.

Reed. Holzmann fully mobilized the enthusiasm of the Knicks players in the game and defense, so he caught the Los Angeles Lakers off guard. The ferocious, tough, and ruthless fouls on the opposite side gave the Lakers a blow to the head, and the overall momentum and morale have seen a huge decline.

Rao is Tang Qian used a bronze ability card, and he couldn't save the fact that morale was greatly suppressed, and the Lakers finally suffered a big defeat in the fourth game, 95-117, losing this game. And it was also this game that made Tang Qian completely understand the power of the "Top Ten Coaches in NBA History", this ability to cope and adapt is simply beyond imagination!

I thought that after the "super bug" was sacrificed, it could help the Lakers win the opponent all the way, but the reality poured Tang Qian a bucket of cold water. Winning a championship, no matter what era it is, is never an easy task.

If you despise the "ancients" and "history", "history" and "ancients" will be returned several times.

Makes your nose blue and your face swollen.

Dragging his almost overdrawn body, Tang Qian glanced at Madison Square Garden, and then walked out reluctantly.

PS: This is the first update, thank you for your support~ It's a new year, Xiaozi will use new efforts to repay you~

I wish you all a happy New Year's Day and all the best~~~

That's right, Reed. Holzmann did something similar in the Finals, so there were a lot of people who questioned his style of play, his style of play. (To be continued.) )
