The Pistons' offense to win the victory with the Knicks also means that Larry's Pistons face a bigger crisis, that is, the relationship of trust between players and coaches, and if there is anything very annoying about Larry, it is that he has a look of supreme authority and a somewhat unfashionable way of doing things...... It doesn't take into account the feelings of all the players.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, this is also a very normal phenomenon, Larry has been playing professional basketball since he was six years old, if five years is considered a hurdle, then how many hurdles is Larry and these players born in the 80s, 70s, and 60s now?

When Larry first joined the league, the environment at that time was much different from now, the coach at that time was the absolute authority on a team, and almost the decision on how to arrange the players to play was all decided by the coach alone, and there were not many black people playing basketball at that time, and what were the various sports advocated by the United States at that time? The overall talent of athletes cannot be compared with the present.

A coach came from absolute authority, to was almost forced away by Iverson, and now he urgently needs to prove himself, the more Larry gives, he may not get so much, and more importantly, it is not Larry who lays the foundation for this team, and Larry is not an absolute authority in this team from beginning to end.

Joe Dumas made several successful trades during his tenure as general manager, selected several excellent rookies, and his current team authority is a little stronger than Larry's, but Larry used his prestige and previous strength to get Rashid's potential favors, and these things together support his current authority.

Although Larry is a player, he is more of an absolute academic coach, and the common characteristic of coaches in this school is that they can do their best to maintain their team's floor when maintaining authority in the team.

But the lower limit of the Pistons has already been determined by others, but this person is not Larry, but Carlisle, who is now the coach of the Pacers, and the owner of the Pistons wants Larry to be the head coach of this team, because he wants Larry to lead the team further and get what the Pistons really want.

Larry's defensive style of play is anti-tide and retrograde, but if he can lead the team to get that ring, everything is tolerable. But in the final analysis, a business league is ultimately pursuing a commercial rate of return, a broadcast rating, and a game in which more potential fans are attracted to pay attention to more games, but there are three things that can be determined, fans will never want to watch a game without strong individual ability, two without a wonderful offensive round, and three are all muscle collisions, and the two teams compete against each other.

The league's favorite topic is also what it needs, and what it needs is the public's attention, so some small methods used by Larry, the league will never take the initiative to interfere, because this is what any team has used to varying degrees.

Larry likes to defend, and even fights wits with Gong Feng directly on the court, which is what the league likes to see.

However, after the end of this game, Larry fell into another big crisis, and the players no longer trusted him absolutely as they did in the past, but began to trust their own offensive ability.

Larry couldn't help but smile bitterly at this situation, but he didn't say anything, didn't do anything, and it was useless to practice tactics or something.

It's just that in the fourth game, Larry quietly watched all the players shoot more attentively, test their feelings, and even the tactics before the game, they were not as detailed as in the past, but gave encouragement to all the players, but in the end, Larry just emphasized one point, "The basis of our victory is actually defense, if we put all our energy into one, we can't win!" ”

After saying this, Larry did not look at the expressions of his players, but took the lead out of the locker room.

Although the Pistons players felt a little inexplicable about this statement, even Chaunce, who had the highest ball quotient, just frowned, not knowing what to say.

It was only the course of the game that really told the Pistons what Larry Brown was trying to say.

In today's game, the Knicks didn't send any surprise formations, but just replaced Yao Ming, and continued to press Hill off the court and didn't let him play.

This is a conclusion that the Knicks came to when they studied the Pacers game in the hotel, in order to avoid Hill's physical exertion, and also to ensure that the team can win the Finals, the most important thing is that in the last period of time, Hill consumed too much for the first possible regular season MVP, coupled with the fierce confrontation in the playoffs, the physical energy consumed was indeed a little large, and after the previous injury began to feel uncomfortable again, Mill took the initiative to reduce Hill's next playing time.

Hill didn't say anything about it, didn't complain about anything, just smiled and said to Mir: "I'll stay fit and ready to play." ”

Mill just nodded at this, and didn't say anything more, and it was just to reduce Hill's playing time, not to prevent Hill from playing.

At the beginning of the game, the Pistons felt different, because the Knicks' defense was more focused than in the previous game, and it stands to reason that the Knicks in this game should not focus on their offense? How can it be reversed?

The duel between Hamilton and Gong Feng, for the first time, felt the point of friendship, Gong Feng this guy completely exhausted all his physical strength, to run like a game with Hamilton, and after Yao Ming became the main force, Yao Ming, who is now flexible, runs with other team members, and his movement ability is even more powerful, and the Knicks' frame protection ability has reached a peak.

The Knicks no longer struggled with what tactics to play, but began to tightly use breakouts, runs, and interior singles to score piecemeal, and the Knicks did not dwell on offense, but focused most of their energy on defense.

Malone still didn't have much defense tasks in this game, but became a separate defense against Rashid, as for who Rashid went to block and dismantle, he came to the outside to shoot three points, but Malone didn't care much, and even gave Rashid space to shoot three points, and even after Rashid shot three three-pointers, he didn't change his defensive style.

But what Rashid, who is playing more and more outward, does not find that once he does not take the initiative to seek physical contact on the inside, and goes to play alone on the inside, Rashid who does this even occupies some offensive positions of outside players, the Pistons' ability to protect rebounds has also dropped to a low point, and the player's ability to run to get space has dropped to the lowest value.

Maybe Rashid's three-point shot killed the opponent, but Rashid's three-point shot in the whole game absolutely did not kill the opponent.

The Knicks are very different, as long as there is only one interior player who defends Yao Ming or Ma Long, Yao Ming and Ma Long will inevitably choose to complete the single on the inside, and the Knicks' tactics in this game are much simpler, Gong Feng, Allen and Battier's running position is more to pull enough interior offensive space, and let Yao Ming and Ma Long's high-level organizational ability play to a peak.

The three three-point shooters of the Knicks, who felt warm, shot seven three-pointers in the first quarter of the game, and it was at this time that the players of the Pistons suddenly realized that they hurriedly strengthened their own defense, intending to block the Knicks' players.

But how do you defend it?

The offense of his own side was severely restricted, whether it was Hamilton's running or Chauncey's singles, all of them were severely interfered with, and the feeling could not be compared with the previous game, not to mention that there was Yao Mingzhen guarding the inside line under the basket, and Kort guarding the inside line were two different concepts for the Pistons.

Cotter still likes single defense, and his favorite is full interference, but in the last game, Malone was responsible for single defense, and Cotter's big forward's height can't interfere with the Pistons' shooting at all.

Someone who saw this smiled happily, and was surprised to be confident that he would be able to get Kurt in the free market. (To be continued.) )
