The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 95: Because the rebound is always there (2/45)

Louie and Isiah Thomas had a bad first impression of each other.

Thomas looked far less approachable than his smile.

Once on the team, he knew what to do to establish himself. Therefore, he beat Archibald mercilessly.

This approach did not necessarily convince Archibald.

Thomas was contemptuous of those around him and took his victory for granted.

He regarded Louie as a relationship, because it had been a few new teaching assistants guiding their training. Louis only came today. Thomas had heard the legend about Louis, but he didn't believe it.

Because Louis is only 1 year older than him.

In the basketball industry, there may be talented players who are already among the best players in the world at the age of 20-21. But do talented coaches exist? No.

There is nothing more demanding of deep professionalism than coaches in team sports.

Louie is not only young, but also has no professional basketball training resume. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is an amateur.

Thomas' view of Louie was the view of most people who didn't know him.

Louie and Thomas said hello and went to see Danny Ainge, who was seriously practicing shooting.

Louis didn't know that the team was going to choose Angie.

Apparently Auerbach decided.

Very early on, Auerbach was there to watch Ainge play, and then he showed indifference to Ainge, which is his old routine.

Angie has been a super sports all-rounder since he was a child. He became famous for playing basketball in high school and was selected to the All-American team; at the same time, he was named to the All-American team of high school football in his senior year. At the same time, he even played baseball and was also selected to the All-American team, which also made him the only player in history to have been selected to the All-American team in baseball, basketball and football.

After graduating from high school, Angie was selected by the MLB (Major League Baseball) Toronto Blue Jays through the amateur draft. In professional baseball, he mainly plays second baseman, but can also serve as the team's third baseman and outfield position, versatile and versatile.

In college, he played four full years for Brigham Young University, was named to the All-American first team twice, and even won the John Wooden Award for the best player in the country in the 1980-81 season—you know, in He was honored before by Larry Bird, and after him by Michael Jordan.

However, the glory of college basketball does not mean the success of a professional basketball career. In fact, in the 1980s, many people have found that college masters may not be able to adapt to the stronger NBA. Professional basketball requires speed and physicality, and it just so happens that Angie doesn't have those two things at all. He's a white guard who likes to hit the rim and shoots slack.

As a shooting guard, his height is only 1.93 meters. In addition, he still has a contract dispute with the MLB league. For various reasons, Ainge was ignored in the draft and fell to the second round and was selected by Auerbach. .

Ainge shot worse than Auerbach expected.

Fitch has repeatedly criticized the choice in internal meetings because of Ainge's poor performance.

In the original draft, Fitch had other candidates, but they couldn't match Auerbach's decision to set the tone.

Fitch has declared more than once that he wants to send Ainge back to the Blue Jays.

Anji worked tirelessly to practice three-point shooting. Without an assistant, he had to pick up missed shots by himself.

Louie doesn't know how Ainge's 3-point shooting went, but he looks unprofessional now.

He's a greedy player who wants to master long shots from all angles.

When the ball he missed rolls to Louie's feet.

Louie walks the ball into the corner and makes a random shot—three-point shooting is the only thing Louie is good at.

"Shh!"

"It's a good shot." Angie asked of course, "Are you here for a trial training?"

Angie was born in 1959, one year older than Louis.

Louie smiled, his thick eyebrows danced cheerfully, "No, I'm the assistant coach of the Celtics, my name is Louie."

Angie was shocked. He had heard Louis' name and knew that he was very young, but he didn't expect to be so young.

"Nice to meet you," Angie said.

"Me too," Louis asked. "How long have you been practicing like this?"

"Half a month."

"How's the effect?"

"You should have seen..."

"Well, that sucks." Louie threw the ball to Ainge. "You look like you're trying to master every 3-point shot in training camp."

Ainge is puzzled. He has watched the Celtics playoffs last season. He knows that the Celtics' requirement for the No. 2 position is to shoot three-pointers.

But John Lang's primary 3-point threat is in the corner, and if he can develop an all-position 3-point threat, he may be a priority over Long.

He is very ambitious and very strategic.

He immediately saw where the Celtics' tactical eyes were.

Unfortunately, Louie is not sure whether the Celtics will continue to play in the same way as last season in the new season. After all, there are four assistants who are "far more professional" than him.

"What's wrong with that?" Angie asked.

"Ideas are plump, and reality is skinny."

"You can get every woman in Boston pregnant in a year, but you can't get them to have a baby in a month," Louie said lightly.

"You mean I should find a sweet spot on the court and focus on shooting from that position?"

"Yeah," Louie said. "If you want to do that, I can be your caddie and pass the ball for you. If you stick to your current practice, I can only give you a little humane care when you have time, but Probably won't waste time with you."

"For... pass the ball for me?"

Angie almost thought he was hallucinating.

"Yes."

"are you serious?"

Although Louie is young, Angie has inquired about it. None of the veteran players who won the championship last season did not admire him. His reputation in the team is incomparable to K.C. Jones and the four new assistant coaches.

Even if there is a problem that Bill Fitch can't solve, someone will say: "If there is a way, there must be a way."

Bird even has this evaluation: "His ghost ideas are the most evil people I have ever met."

Look at how arrogant the four new assistants are, bringing the arrogance they used to teach student players in college to the professional arena, they don't seem to understand the situation, thinking this is a college they can play at will.

These people put themselves in a much higher position than the players, scolding you when you do something wrong, and everyone imitated Fitch to make themselves a devil with horns on their heads, and want them to help you train? dream.

Louie offered to be his caddie...

"If you take my advice, I mean it. If you don't, treat it like I didn't say it."

Louie has determined that he will not be involved in the team's offensive and defensive system construction this season.

He vaguely felt that in the future he had the hope of becoming the head coach of the Celtics.

So if he can't go head-to-head with Fitch, go the other way.

The old players have a good relationship with him, so the new players are his active targets.

Thomas is arrogant but has an approachable smiling face, and it is difficult to establish diplomatic relations with him in a short period of time. However, it is a second-round pick like Ainge who is not favored by others, or a gas bag under the struggle between Auerbach and Fitch. He definitely needs care.

Louie was 100% sure that Angie would not reject his good intentions.

From that day on, Angie began to specialize in three-pointers from the left corner and the left forty-five degree angle, at the suggestion of Louie.

Louis also paid attention to the training arrangements of the coaching staff.

The four new assistant coaches designed a strict defensive strategy, which was more reasonable than what Louis had designed before, but the requirements for the players were too harsh.

Also, they want to put Sampson at the five and ask Laimbeer to come off the bench.

Laimbeer, who has been a starter for a season, will never give up the starter without any injuries.

The reason for his protest is also clear: "I played the starting lineup last year and helped the team win the championship. Why do I have to let Lao Tzu be a substitute when a bunch of crumbs come out of nowhere?"

In college, it is not uncommon for coaches to cover the sky with only one hand.

Even if you are the No. 1 player in the United States, when you come to school, you have to be obedient and play according to the team's tactics.

Otherwise, **** off the head coach, putting you on the bench, compressing your minutes, or even putting you in positions you're not good at will increase your risk and hurt your draft market.

If you're going to transfer schools, you're going to have to sit on the custodial board for a year. If you have a career prospect, a year of scrutiny will save you a year of money. Also, with a new team there will be more uncertainty, recruiting you and the coach's face is completely different after you join the team.

The four assistants brought their big learnings to the Celtics, incurring a fierce backlash.

It was Sampson who offered to continue to be a substitute so that the conflict did not intensify.

In addition to being Ainge's caddie, Louie is also responsible for Sampson's potential development.

Sampson's rookie season averaged 18 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 3.3 blocks per game. He was the block leader with the fewest minutes in NBA history.

After intensive training in the offseason, his weight increased to 112 kilograms, and he can basically adapt to the confrontation in the interior.

Therefore, Louie began to strengthen his inside skills.

Sampson's rebounding is a problem~www.novelmt.com~ A player like him is so talented that he can explode the opponent's rebounding without being stuck in his school days.

Entering the professional league, an elbow like Ranbir's vicious dog-type insider can make him powerless.

In order to help Sampson strengthen this shortcoming, Louie asked someone to help edit the video clips of Moses Malone and Maurice Lucas.

Louie takes Sampson to the room where Fitch usually rewinds to watch the highlights tape.

He saw the details of the card positions of Lucas and Malone, brutal and brutal.

"Didn't you say that you want me to be an anti-traditional insider?" Sampson naively thought that if he wanted to be "Kill Matt", he would not have to do his own job as an insider.

"Whether you are a traditional insider or not, you have to learn to play cards and rebound. This is the job of insiders, and it is true in any era." Louie handed the videotape to Sampson, "You have to learn their cards from the video every day. Positioning skills, I can only tell you so much about the card position, the rest is up to you. Positioning, rebounding, skills are important, but determination is more important, because the rebound is always there, can you grab it? , it all depends on whether your heart is strong enough."
