Chapter 79: Giving you a chance, you're useless
"Walter, you save it, three points are the most unreliable way to score, they don't keep going in." Gumbell Road.
Walter Fraser said: "At least we're ahead now, aren't we?" I have reason to believe that we can win big! ”
Next, Mark Jackson took one on his back.
Although Nash's official height is 1.91 meters, his real height is less than 1.9 meters, because the unit of statistical height in the United States is inches, and it is likely to be one or two centimeters worse when converted to the international system, plus many players will add the height of their shoes when reporting their height, so it looks good, so it is common to have an error of 3 centimeters, and it is not surprising that the error of 5 centimeters is not surprising.
For example, Ben Wallace, many people say that his real height is 2.01 meters, but his official height is 6 feet 9 inches (2.06 meters), which is the kind with the most water.
Li Wei's height is also watery, his height was only 1.45 meters in the summer, but the registered height was 4 feet 11 inches (about 1.5 meters), and he was still less than five feet tall after wearing the inner height, which was also a very helpless thing.
(Imperial 12 inches = 1 foot, so 11 inches is not carryed.) )
Charlie Ward, who was born in football, couldn't hold Mark Jackson's big ass, his height couldn't bargain much, and Nash, who was weaker in strength, of course, couldn't do anything but watch the opponent score the ball.
In the next few rounds, the Knicks continued to run three-point tactics, and the effect was not bad, and there were quite a lot of goals, but there were some small problems on the defensive end.
Nash and Hornacek both suffer from physical fitness, and there will be a lack of energy when defending, and the Pacers took advantage of this to score several goals!
At the end of the first quarter, the score was 31-16 and the Knicks led by 15 points. MSG's reporter came to interview Li Wei and asked loudly: "Coach Li, it only took one quarter for us to lead by 15 points, how many points do you think we can slaughter the Pacers at the end of the game?" ”
Li Wei's brows furrowed slightly.
One reason why the Knicks were able to take the lead was that the Pacers were more unlucky, and a lot of goals that should have been scored were not scored, and the other reason was that they were not used to the Knicks' three-point style of play.
But Larry Bird is by no means the kind of opponent that is easy to beat, and he will definitely adjust in the last three quarters!
You must know that the Knicks' Garnett, Big Z, Nash and others are all newcomers to the team, and the veteran players are also accepting this kind of outside-based offensive system for the first time, and there is not much tacit understanding between them.
On the Pacers' side, although Bird is also a new coach, the team is almost the same as last season's team, and they are very familiar with each other!
Once Larry Bird finds a suitable response, the Knicks, whose lineup is still running-in, may not be able to maintain it, and then be overturned!
The score of leading is just a floating cloud, and it is still difficult to predict who will die!
However, Li Wei is a unforgiving guy, and now that he is ahead, he must pretend to be forced and frustrate Bird's spirit!
No matter how good you are, I will make you deflated!
Facing the camera, Li Wei said loudly: "I'm actually a very peace-loving person, and I don't really want to do any massacre." But as you can see, as soon as the game started, we played them a 7:0, and when the Knicks were on the floor, the Pacers didn't have to say win, and they couldn't even score points!
I didn't think it was good, Bird was a good friend of Dennis after all, and I had to save face for him, so I sent a substitute on purpose. But I gave them a chance, and they didn't use it! Larry Bird's team can't even beat our benches, so what can I do? ”
"Give them a chance, won't they be useful? Ha ha! The MSG reporter laughed, "It looks like the Pacers are really going to wake up!" ”
Li Weidao: "That's right, I will continue to give them opportunities in the next three quarters, after all, friendship comes first and competition is second, I hope they can cherish it!" ”
The fans at MSG laughed and applauded when they saw their head coach so domineering!
Li Wei's logic is too shameless. Today, the Pacers won, it was Li Wei who deliberately released water, if the Knicks won, it will give you a chance and you will not be useful!
Bird has never been frustrated in his life, and today he is likely to be planted in the hands of Li Wei!
In terms of pretending, it is really a mountain that is higher than a mountain!
As arch-rivals, Knicks fans love to see Bird deflated, Reggie Miller deflated, and Pacers deflated!
So they applauded like thunder!
When Bird heard Li Wei's words, his face was very ugly.
When it comes to stalking, the Knicks' coach is definitely a good player.
It looks like today's game has to be won, and it has to be a big win!
Once defeated, it will definitely become a stain on your life!
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Pacers changed their defensive strategy and were more inclined to spread out to defend three-point defense. On the offensive side, they also changed their routines, adding more passing and cutting combinations, so that the Knicks, who had a large number of newcomers and were still running in the defensive system, were in a hurry.
Seeing that the score was approaching, Li Wei hurriedly called a timeout, and then rearranged the defense with Chuck Daley, and as soon as he came on the court, the Knicks reopened the score, and Bird called a timeout again.
In this quarter, the two sides were inseparable, basically in a state of mutual explosion, the score in the single quarter was 31:30, and the Knicks were one point behind. However, coupled with the score in the first quarter, the Knicks entered the second half with a score of 61:47, leading by 14 points.
As soon as the second half began, Bird gave Li Wei a surprise, and the Pacers also played a figure 8 tactic!
Some people say that the NBA is a copier league, and once a tactic works, it will appear on the tactical version of more than half of the coaches the next day.
That's right, it's a very plagiaristic league, and you can't patent your own whimsy!
The figure 8 tactic is a very simple tactic that ordinary fans can understand at a glance, let alone Larry Bird, so there is no need for a videographer to analyze it, and this tactic goes directly into his mind.
In just one halftime, he not only assigned this tactic to his players, but also made several changes in the specific execution method to make it more suitable for the Pacers!
The main players of the Pacers are all veterans who are over 30 years old, and their tactical execution ability is not to be said, so they can get started directly.
As mentioned earlier, the advantages and disadvantages of the 8-character tactic are very obvious, and not everyone can afford to play. But the Pacers are just one of the few teams in the league that can afford to play!
In this era, Ray Allen has just entered the NBA, and Alan Houston is hiding behind Ewing, and neither of them is a superstar. Among the No. 2 and No. 3 stars known for their long-range projection, the most famous are Chris Mullin, Reggie Miller, and Glenn Rice!
The three three-point sharpshooters, the Pacers have two, than long-range shooting, who is afraid of whom?
When Mullin and Reggie Miller went around each other in circles and covered each other, the Knicks really didn't know which one to guard!
Seeing his team score two three-pointers in a row, Bird smiled: "I like this tactic, not bad!" ”
Li Weidao: "I also have a three-point tactic from a center, you can also try it!" ”
Bird laughed and said, "That's free, we can't come, you better play by yourself!" ”
Li Wei said: "Larry, you are really embarrassed, you don't even want to play a tactic, just use our tactics to play!" As a coach, there is no one else who does your job! ”
Bird said disdainfully: "Cut, it seems that the Knicks' tactics are all original to you, and everyone is not all John Wooden's apprentice?" ”
John Wooden is one of America's greatest basketball coaches, not even the greatest coaches in the history of American sports. But he's coached college teams all his life and has never coached the NBA.
From 1964 to 1975, he led the University of California, Los Angeles to ten national college championships, seven consecutive collegiate league championships, eight undefeated league championships, 88 consecutive unbeaten victories, and a four-season unbeaten streak. For that reason, Wooden has won the title of Best Coach in College six times. Arcindo (later renamed Abdul-Jabbar), Bill Wharton, and others were among his disciples.
After retiring, Wooden wrote books and lectures based on half a century of practical experience of athletes and coaches, enriching the theory of basketball and opening up the direction of basketball development. In the United States, his writings are considered a must-read for every basketball coach.
Li Wei said: "Oh, I actually reached the realm of John Wooden, and let you be willing to be a disciple!" ”
Bird said: "Don't be ashamed, the Knicks are determined to lose today!" ”
"Really?" Li Wei raised his eyebrows.
The Knicks are not in good shape now, Reggie Miller, who has been suppressed by Garnett in the first half, has a good feeling, and at the same time the elder Mullin has also exploded.
The 8-character tactic is originally a more difficult to defend gambling tactics, and as soon as the Pacers' two major shooters come, the score difference is narrowed!
What made Li Wei even more depressed was that the Knicks began to strike iron!
The jump shooting team will always be iron for a while from time to time, this is a terminal illness, there is no rule of law!
Quickly called a timeout, interrupting the state of the Pacers players, Li Wei rearranged the offense and defense. Naturally, Bird's side did not show weakness, and played a few new tricks!
At the end of the third quarter, the difference between the two teams was only five points, and the Knicks led 83-78!
"This is the real strength of the Pacers, if you don't get it, you will be overturned!" Li Wei frowned.
Bird, on the other hand, was also frowning: "This little man's offensive system is self-contained, and it's really a bit unpredictable. And their defense follows the old routine of the Knicks, which is very tough, that is, there are too many new players, and the system has not been able to run in, otherwise the Pacers may really be slaughtered! ”
"Brothers, the goal of our Pacers this year is to win the championship, and we must not fall into the hands of a rebuilding team like the Knicks, the crucial fourth quarter is coming, give me a boost!" Bird shouted.
"Yes!" The Pacers players responded in unison!
On the other side, Li Wei also said loudly to the Knicks players: "This is MSG, it's Madison Garden, no one should embarrass me on my own court!" The Pacers can't beat us now, and they can't in the future, so seriously, we're going to win the final victory! ”
