Chapter 421: The Crystallization of Wisdom Spanning Half a Century

New York in this era seems to be very prosperous, because skyscrapers began to rise in the United States in the eighties of the nineteenth century, such as the famous Empire State Building in New York, which was completed in 1931. By the time www.biquge.info 70s of the twentieth century, when you were walking on the streets of New York and looking up, you could already see patches of high-rise buildings.

If it weren't for the decoration style and the clothes of the characters, Tang Qian would even have the illusion of "being in modern times".

And the home of the New York Knicks, Madison Square Garden, has a long history.

It was built in 1879, in the late '70s, but this is not the Madison Square Garden. The Madison Square Garden used by the Knicks' home team should be counted from the "three generations of the garden", and the two generations of "Square Garden" before that have nothing to do with the history of the New York Knicks. However, this is the fourth-generation building of Madison Square Garden, which has only officially become the new home of the New York Knicks since 1968.

In fact, this "new garden" brought a lot of good luck to the Knicks, and it didn't take long for them to win two NBA championships. However, since then, New Yorkers have not harvested anything, and have entered a complete "green leaf period".

But compared with the Great Western Forum Arena, the home of the Lakers, here is undoubtedly more complete and more luxurious.

It's not that the Lakers' home court can't be good, in fact, around the 70s, the Great Western Forum Arena can definitely be regarded as a "super arena" in the NBA. Compared with Madison Square Garden in New York, it is invisibly much weaker.

So even if it was the "third time", Tang Qian couldn't help but take a few more glances at this stadium.

"What's wrong, Wilt? Is this place so beautiful? "Jerry. West seemed to have noticed the abnormality of "Tang Qian", so he asked. "Oh, nothing, I just think Madison is very different today." "Tang Qian" replied casually.

"Particularly different? Why didn't I see it? "Jerry. West couldn't help but glance at the huge building in front of him a few times, but still didn't find anything special. "Tang Qian" shook his head, didn't say anything more, and walked into this "familiar and unfamiliar" gymnasium with the team.

Although it is the same Madison Square Garden as in 2013, it is clear that it has been renovated and is still "uniformly decorated" in the 70s.

"Damn it, Wilt, you know what, I hate it here! Hate the fans here! Hate the spotlight here! Hate the Nets here! I even hate the air here! It's the NBA home I hate the most outside of Boston Garden! "Jerry. West seems to be still haunting what happened 2 years ago, because as a person who has entered the finals 7 times and has empty hands, this kind of resentment is far more than ordinary players. And this year will be his eighth career trip to the finals.

If you lose again, Jerry. West will choose to strip and retire as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, Jerry, we're going to win this series." "Tang Qian" said while warming up.

"Well, if I can do it, I haven't worn a Los Angeles jersey for more than ten years." Jerry. Westway.

In fact, don't look at the Lakers' infinite scenery in the 60s, reaching the NBA Finals 7 times, and they were in the limelight for a while. But those who really know that period of history know that that time was actually the most "painful" time for Los Angeles people. Why? Because they are the real "number one loser" and "gold medal sparring partner". The Lakers' glory seems to have stayed in Minneapolis, and since moving to Angel City Los Angeles, they have entered the Finals frequently, but they have never touched even an NBA championship ring.

That's the pain of L.A. people.

Even some New York media people have claimed directly on television and in newspapers that Los Angeles will never have the luck to win the championship, and they are destined to be the second in the millennium.

All this made the Lakers and Angelenos angry and angry, but at the same time, they were helpless.

After all, basketball is a competitive sport, and it is all based on results, and if you can't get an NBA championship ring, then you can't refute it, and you can't turn over. Hence Jerry. The burden and pressure on West's body has reached its peak this year.

Why did he play so poorly in the playoffs this time? The external pressure, which was already overwhelmed, made him almost on the verge of collapse. If he loses again in this round of the series and becomes the "overall runner-up", his 188CM body will be completely crushed without delay at all.

Because the league has re-"revised the rules", it is impossible for "Tang Qian" to frequently stage air relay scores, and he only did two or three in the last game, and he was "taken care of" by the referees and frequently blew away his goal scores. Tonight's home game will be moved to New York, which may be more restrictive and harsher on its own "air relay".

"Tang Qian" sometimes really wants to knock over this stupid "second-generation chairman" with one punch, but now is not the time to be angry and angry. The "unspoken rules" have been decided, and if you want to change them, it will be after this round of the series, and within these 7 games, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to want the "League Office" to go back on its word.

No wonder this J. Walter Kennedy was so unpopular in history, and it is strange that he was so X**G that he could be "treated".

At the beginning of the game, the Knicks took the lead, shooting all four and adding two free throws at the beginning to score 10 points. And what about the Lakers? I didn't expect the Knicks to attack so fiercely and have such strong firepower, and they suffered a big loss in the first place. After seeing this situation, Lakers head coach Beal. Sharman immediately made a tactical gesture on the sidelines, and this new tactical gesture made the Lakers players immediately move around.

"Lakers Jerry. West had the ball from a long distance, and Wilt. Chamberlain left the interior and went to do a one-man pick-and-roll. With the help of pick-and-roll, West immediately moved and rushed towards the Knicks' interior. But we had expected this hand, Jerry quickly followed, and Walt completed the two sides of the switch, West has less Walt in front of him, but there is a taller and heavier Lucas, and this time the Los Angeles people are cocooned. But before the on-site commentator of the Knicks team finished speaking, the Knicks' basket was vigorously ransacked, and "Tang Qian" had hung high on the basket in Madison Square Garden at some point.

"Pass beautifully~Jerry~" "Tang Qian" said after landing on the ground.

West is indeed worthy of being a "legendary star", with an outstanding basketball IQ, and he quickly mastered this high-post blocker and inward cut. Although it is not "running as expected", after all, it is "learning and selling", and it is quite strong to reach this level. After all, the opposite team is also facing this kind of "high blocking and internal cutting tactics" for the first time, so in many places, it is extremely bad.

This scene is seen by the head coach of the Knicks, Reed. Holzman frowned a little, because after the "blocking and dismantling air relay" and "high blocking and dismantling", the Lakers actually had a new offensive tactic. This Bill. Sharman, is it really so bright? The Lakers have never used it in the regular season, so it could be ......

It's just come up with it???

As soon as the idea came to mind, Reed. Holzman was shocked, everyone knows that developing and researching new tactics is an extremely time-consuming and brain-consuming thing, otherwise it is 99% to put immature tactics directly on the table, and it is 99% self-inflicted boredom and humiliation. In the history of the NBA, there have not been such "whimsical" people, but as a result, all of them "did not die well".

Don't...... This "newcomer" in his early forties is really a "once-in-a-century tactical genius"?

No! You can't scare yourself until you have a definitive answer!

Calmed down his emotions slightly, Reed. Holzman began to observe carefully and seriously looked for a way to solve it.

As long as it's tactical, there's definitely a way to deal with it.

However really let Reed. Holzman is crazy, and now it has just begun, and when he finally figured out the doorway of "high-position blocking and dismantling inside" and was ready to start formulating a cracking strategy, the Lakers offered something new.

"High Pick-and-Roll Cut", the user is mainly the Lakers' No. 52, Happi. Hairston, because compared to "Tang Qian", who has no mid-to-long-range shooting ability at all, he still has a certain mid-to-long-range jump shooting ability. Although it is as sparse as it is defended by someone, the vacant situation is still somewhat accurate, which gives the Knicks a chance to be caught off guard.

Brush brush brush ~

And he had a very good touch in the middle range tonight, and Jerry. After West's "high pick-and-roll cut", three mid-to-long-range shots all hit the New Yorkers' basket accurately. In this way, the Knicks' original shrinkage strategy has been changed, and they must pounce on one person at any time to prevent the Lakers' No. 52 from shooting in the open position after the pick-and-roll.

But you did, Harpy. Hairston stopped shooting, singled out, and re-passed the basketball in his hand.

Brush ~ Jerry. West scores on a shot.

Brush ~ Gail. Goodrich scores on a shot.

Brush ~ "Tang Qian" empty space cut, slip basket score.

All of a sudden, the Lakers' No. 52, who was not good at assisting and passing, successfully brushed up to 3 personal assist data.

In this game, the "heart demon" only weakened Tang Qian's competitive state by 10%, so with a little hard work, he can still play something.

After all, the opponent Jerry. Lucas is a lot shorter than himself, and he will be difficult to defend if he hits him with athleticism.

Jerry. Lucas was a typical white insider, and at that time, training and medical conditions were relatively backward, and he entered a rapid decline trajectory as soon as he turned 30. In fact, this season, it's Jerry. Lucas has his last peak season, and when he turns 33 next year, he will be an average player, both in scoring and rebounding, and he will become a "pitiful" single digit. This is undoubtedly a cliff-like landslide for the "god man" who can cut an average of 20+20 data per game at his peak.

However, this season, he can still cut an average of close to 17+13+4 per game, and the shooting percentage has rebounded to more than 50%. As an interior player who focuses on shooting, this shooting percentage is already quite superb. Besides, with him fighting hard for rebounding, Tang Qian actually felt a little unsettled, why? Because he has a "special function", that is, he has a super memory, and he can easily remember everyone's shooting actions, shooting habits and shooting points. Yes, you read that right, it's everything to everyone.

It may sound a bit exaggerated and nonsensical, but as a short interior with a height of only 203, or a white inside, he can repeatedly achieve a career average of 20+20 per game, second only to the "two divine beasts" Wilt on the rebounding list for many seasons. Chamberlain and Bill. Russell, without two brushes, how is that possible? And his "help" is "superhuman memory". Tell a real history, and you will understand that he is definitely not bragging.

In a live television broadcast in the 70s of the 19th century, he casually recited all the phone numbers on the first 500 pages of the Yellow Pages in Manhattan. Yes, it's all, and none of them are wrong, none of them are missing, and they are still in the live broadcast. This kind of ability may already be regarded as a "golden finger" level, which is almost equivalent to the "unforgettable" of ancient China.

So he said that he can remember the playing habits of every player in the league, and that may be true.

Otherwise, I really can't explain that a person who doesn't run fast, jumps too high, and has an average arm span and height can be second only to Wilt in rebounds per game for many seasons. Chamberlain and Bill. Russell. said that he didn't have a little "plug-in" assistance, I'm afraid no one believes it.

Therefore, Tang Qian and he rebounded and felt great pressure, which was in addition to Dennis. For the first time since Rodman, he has such a short inside line, and he can fight hard with himself, and even faintly overpower himself. Jerry. Lucas's "memory rebound" is really extraordinary, far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

If this is still the first two games, after Tang Qian is dragged by him, the Lakers are afraid that they will repeat the mistakes of the "first eight games" and lose completely.

But now it's different, since Bill. After Sharman began to implement the "high-position blocking and demolition tactics" in the Lakers' whole team, the offensive pressure on Tang Qian's body suddenly became much smaller. And a lot of things that you can't do on your own can be successfully used in the team. For example, Harpy. The "high-level blocking and dismantling outside cut" done by Hairston and West is typical, and if it is replaced by Tang Qianshang, it will not work normally at all, because he does not have any long-range striking ability.

In this way, there will be fewer changes in the "high-position blocking and dismantling tactics", and it will be easy to be targeted and defended.

But at this moment, the Knicks are the ones who are really going crazy.

The Lakers' "high-post blocking and dismantling tactics" are simply endless, no matter how they formulate defensive strategies, they will be stunned by the "new tactics" they have never seen before, and they will turn away with their heads covered. At this moment, the "backbone" of the Knicks, Reed. Holzmann is also a little nervous, although he is very capable of coaching, he is also a proper Hall of Fame-level head coach in the future. But in the face of a "new tactical system" that he has never seen before, he can only be in a daze, and he can't keep up with the offensive rhythm of the Lakers.

Because the "tactical system" is not as good as the "tactics", the latter is often single, fixed, with limited variability and flexibility, and it is easier to be targeted and come up with ways to restrain it. But the former is different, but when the word "system" is involved, it becomes an almost "omnipotent" thing. Compared with the latter, it is not fixed, changeable, and unpredictable, if you go to the left, I will go to the right, if you hit the front, I will go around to the back, anyway, if you want to restrain death, it is ten times more difficult than the latter?

So even if the Lakers' "tactical system" has just come "cramming", it has spanned too many times, and there is no systematic multi-person study and long-term study, so don't want to find its problems and loopholes. Reed. Holzman is strong enough, Phil "Zen Master". Jackson called him "Teacher" in public, and some of his tactical ideas and tactical views, and even many of them in the future, were rubbed into the "Triangle Offensive" by the "Zen Master".

But in the face of a "new tactical system", he was still a little dumbfounded.

With a single tactic, he can think of a way to deal with it in a short time, but a complete tactical system, let alone him, even if it is "Zen Master" Jackson, Popovich, and "Cardinal" Auerbach, together, it is impossible to find countermeasures in a few games.

Because the entire tactical system of the future is moved, this is originally a huge BUG, a huge plug-in.

The development of basketball in the past few decades has not been given in vain, and the crystallization of the wisdom of countless people and countless games is of course close to harmony and perfection. At least at the level of the tactical system, it is like this, very complete and interlocking, without major mistakes and fatal flaws

So throughout the game, the Knicks as a whole were in a state of "confusion. In the state of "force", except for the opening moment, there is not a minute of time, they can grasp the initiative. In this way, it becomes a natural thing to lose by a big score.

In the third game, the Lakers defeated the New York Knicks at home by 115-95 and 20 points, rewriting the series score to 2:1. Jerry, who has a whopping 17 assists in a single game. West was voted Player of the Evening.

Eventually, the Knicks left Madison Square Garden with their heads bowed and depressed.
