The Rest, Only Noise

"The rest, only noise new( Find the latest chapter!

Soon, Bill Fitch announced that he was no longer coaching the Celtics for both family and physical reasons.

The four assistant coaches he recruited from the college will also leave the team.

Fitch's departure marked the end of an era, and he arrived at the end of the Celtics, as he did in Cleveland, to bring bad teams back to the top.

His dismissal represented the end of the Celtics' dark history in the late 1970s and the struggles of top teams and championship contenders in the early 1980s.

Everyone knew that the reason for his departure was an excuse that did not stand up to scrutiny.

Soon after, he got a brand new job in Houston.

There are always bad teams in the league who need him to save.

The ill-fated relationship between him and the Celtics has come to an end, but the journey of a thousand losses as a coach has just begun.

What the media did not expect was that the Celtics' acting coach candidate was not the well-received K.C. Jones, but an unusually low-key in the past two years. The only news that came out of the circle was during the All-Star Weekend due to the league's improper arrangements to speak out for Asians. of Louis.

However, considering the current predicament of the Celtics and a 3-0 deficit, the media only regards Louis as a firefighting coach because the season is over.

Louie's mood is not easy at all, because Auerbach has set a target for him.

Whether he can stay in this position depends on whether he can complete Auerbach's goals.

His goal is simple, to win a game against the Bucks.

Anyway, bring the series back to the Boston Garden.

Louie contacted a friend at Oracle and calculated the data he needed according to the formula he gave.

Louis wants accurate data. This is his philosophy. Although the data is not necessarily correct, accurate data can definitely reflect the problems in some aspects of the team.

Therefore, he refers to these data as offensive and defensive elements.

For example, the effective shooting percentage of the opponent's effective shooting percentage under the team's defense is to understand the scoring efficiency of a team's (defensive) goals in sports; Ability; offensive and defensive rebound rate, to understand a team's ability to rush offensive rebounds to protect backcourt rebounds; free throw shooting ratio, to understand a team's ability to create damage and control opponents to create damage;

These seemingly trivial points are enough to formulate a set of highly targeted strategies.

On May 2, 1983, at the Marriott Hotel in Milwaukee, Louie was about to start his first pregame set-up as acting coach.

If you don't win tonight, your dream of becoming a real head coach may be over.

Louie showed up in athletic shorts and jeans, much to the delight of players who were used to Bill Fitch's serious attire.

"You look like an idle college student," Isiah Thomas scoffed.

"Don't you care more about tonight's game than my clothes?"

Louis pushed Thomas back in one sentence, letting him understand that this situation did not allow him to smile.

"Actually I'm surprised that you guys can play the game like this."

Louie looked at the members of this team, with Larry Bird, Sampson, Maxwell, Laimbeer, Thomas, Ainge, M.L. Carr, John Long, three season All-Stars, in their prime , and four future All-Stars and quasi-All-Stars, all in their prime, how could they be so disgraced by the Bucks?

"In order to understand the gap between us and the Bucks, I have a general understanding of each other's strength through statistics."

"Offensively, our effective field goal percentage is higher than the Bucks. You shouldn't be happy, though, because we're only eighth in the league."

Louis easily grasped the keynote in the room, only his own voice.

"But the responsibility for this result lies with the coaching staff, so I don't blame you."

"We're better than them at hitting the offensive glass."

"We're also far better than them at protecting the defensive rebound."

"We also outperformed them in effective offense (points + free throws + fouls) per 100 possessions."

"Even though you didn't look like a team for a very long time, you still led in many stats." Louie said heavily, "But the energy you showed in the playoffs was another What's the matter, why are you two different teams? Are you incapable, or do you really hate Coach Fitch so much?"

Ranbir asked, "Are you blaming your ex?"

"No, I just want to ask you to answer me, did you play passively in order to get Coach Fitch out of the way, and if so, he's out now, I have a second question - you guys who got your wish, and did you win? idea?"

Louie put his stats on the table: "If you still want to win, I'll keep talking, and if you don't want to win, I don't have to waste time."

K.C. Jones didn't expect that the first thing Louis came up with was not to maintain stability, but to confront Maiman with the players.

Everyone looked at each other.

Bird, who had been silent for a long time, broke the silence: "Those who want to win stay here, and those who don't want to win leave."

More than ten seconds passed, and no one left.

Louie smiled: "Since no one wants to leave, I will take this as your answer, you still want to win."

"Since you guys want to win, we're on the same front. I know a lot of people are worried about me, it doesn't matter, just like I'm worried about your ability to win tonight. Distrust each other, but you still have to strictly follow my orders."

Louie looked at the players, especially Thomas, seriously: "I'm going to say that if someone doesn't obey my arrangement, I'll replace him and stop using him. I just want to be able to use players who can move."

The veteran players have no doubts about Louie's ability.

This was demonstrated as early as the 1981 Eastern Conference finals.

"As I said earlier, we lead the Bucks in a lot of numbers, but they also have some numbers ahead of us."

Louie asked K.C to send the data sheet to them: "I have annotated the meaning of each statistic, and what we should pay attention to is that the Bucks ranked second in the league in limiting opponents' shooting percentage in the regular season. The playoffs are No. 1 in the league, and we are eighth in the regular season, and the playoffs are the worst of any team in the playoffs."

"If you're not working on the defensive end because you're trying to get rid of Coach Fitch, give me a 12-point shot from tonight!"

"In addition, the Bucks are a very solid offensive team. Their offensive firepower is not on the same level as ours, but they can stably control their turnovers."

Louie emphasized: "They ranked sixth in the league in the regular season and fourth in the playoffs in terms of controlling mistakes, and we also controlled well in the regular season, but in the playoffs, we are all The second-worst team in the playoffs at controlling turnovers."

"I don't want to say more about the specific reasons. Since Coach Fitch has become a thing of the past, please play tactics step by step, take passing seriously, and reduce unnecessary mistakes."

The biggest difference between Louie and Fitch is that he's down-to-earth.

He will never worry about things that are irreversible, he will directly point out the problem and let you find a way to correct it.

"Rebounding was supposed to be our advantage, but we're facing the Bucks in three losses, and they're better paint contenders in each of them, I don't know if you're afraid of Bob Lanier's prehistoric game. Foot, or was scared by Dave Cowens sitting off their court. If it is the former, I can understand, if it is the latter, it is simply unforgivable!"

"Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there is a problem with our lineup, so I want to adjust the starting lineup."

Louis has been chatting for ten minutes, and then it is not over, as if everything has just begun.

Now he has to adjust the starting lineup, which is also a sensitive matter.

He looked at Cedric Maxwell: "I'd like to have better height and athleticism at the four."

Last season, Bill Fitch had a tussle with Maxwell over the starting lineup.

This season, because of dissatisfaction with Sampson's increasingly out-of-the-way play~www.novelmt.com~ the relationship between the two has deteriorated, so they will no longer mention Sampson's starting.

The result is that Sampson's play is limited, Maxwell has been repeatedly criticized by the media, and almost everyone believes that Sampson is more suitable for starting than him.

Maxwell was silent for a few seconds.

"If I can win, I can go to the bench." Maxwell didn't want to be seen as a selfish person.

"Okay!" Louie smiled with satisfaction, "This is a good start."

Ranbir was taken aback: "Just the beginning?"

"Yes, we still have a lot of mistakes to correct." Louis said lightly.

Fifteen minutes passed, and Louie just started.
