The Rest, Only Noise

Latest website: The second away game of the four-link Eastern Conference is Milwaukee.

The Bucks are in a very embarrassing situation now. They have good players, but they can't go any further.

If it's just bad, if you don't sell the immediate combat power in the team, you won't be able to show a "good" record that can be expected in the future.

How can it be regarded as a promising future? Kobe Bryant's drifting windmill dunk in Milwaukee made the Bucks realize that only such talent can lead them out of the woods.

Thanks to the Lakers, Lu Guan learned from the pain, gritted his teeth, and asked for instructions, and then got the approval of "tossing casually".

As a result, the Bucks put all the valuable assets in the team on the shelves, sending a strong signal to the entire league: open!

There is another member of the mighty Duncan Cup suitors.

Then, the Lakers suffered their second loss of the season in Boston.

The rise of the Celtics is faster than imagined.

As one of the big winners of the offseason, he welcomed back Ralph Sampson and Karl Malone, who was about to enter the peak of his personal competitive state, at almost no heavy price.

The arrival of these two people transformed the Celtics into a strong team in the East.

Louis' old acquaintance Chuck Daly changed his coaching style in Boston, teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, giving full play to the characteristics of the Celtics' lineup.

With Ralph Sampson, the greatest center of all time, as the core, with Malone's amazing offensive firepower, coupled with the growth of young players such as Hill, they have officially become a top team in the East.

Daly's use of Sampson surprised Louie.

Whether it's Jones' Celtics or Billy Donovan's Heat, they all treat Sampson as an inside core with ball-handling skills.

That is to say, although Sampson's technology is several versions ahead of other contemporary insiders, his main style of play is still traditional.

And as he grows older, if he wants to maintain the original style of play, Sampson's performance on the court will inevitably decline again and again, and eventually he will follow the old path of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, becoming a player with offensive guarantees but unable to play on the defensive end and rebounding. Protect players who do too much.

Recalling last year's Eastern Conference finals, Ewing completely suppressed Sampson for the first time in his career in the series. The reason was the serious deterioration of the latter's physical functions.

The inside line is definitely the most difficult position on the basketball court to resist the invasion of time.

Except for Tim Duncan and Karl Malone, the competitive ability of all the great insiders has fallen off a cliff after the age of 35.

You can use experience and skills to fight against players in other positions, but not inside.

The inside lane is the most realistic position on the court.

Blocking requires confrontation, positioning requires confrontation, post-up requires confrontation, defense requires confrontation... whatever you want to do in the paint, confrontation is the first. When the players get older, this consumption becomes unbearable, and the performance will drop significantly.

So why are Duncan and Malone an exception? Duncan's question is simple and easy, but also difficult. When Duncan was young, he usually only played with six or seven points of strength, so when he was old enough to play with six or seven points of strength, his performance was not affected much.

The longevity of Marlon's competitive state may be attributed to ascetic self-discipline and super scientific body conditioning.

Louie heard a story from a friend in Boston. On the day the Celtics and the Jazz completed the deal, Sampson called Malone. It turned out that it was Malone's family who answered the phone, and they told Sampson that Malone was cross-country with a parachute on his back.

Therefore, if the insiders want to prolong the peak period of their competitive state, they must either keep playing like Duncan and develop a habit, or work hard like Malone.

The question is, why can't the insiders use technology to combat the decline of physical functions? Because before the 1980s, there were very few insiders in the NBA who could play outside the paint.

The insider must die in the penalty area, which was the common view at the time.

And a player like Sampson who can play anywhere on the court has suffered physical decline. Whether he can continue to play at his peak level depends largely on who his coach is.

Chuck Daly has the answer.

He let Sampson stand in a high position to dominate the ball, and by the way, he liberated Malone in the waist.

And the Celtics ace play is... Sampson pick-and-roll for Hill and... Malone pick-and-roll for Sampson with the ball high up.

The former brings unlimited possibilities to the pick-and-roll offense with Sampson's comprehensive skills that make Hill ashamed to call himself a small forward.

The latter is to fully demonstrate Malone's pick-and-roll offensive threat and Sampson's unique ball-handling threat among super centers.

At the last moment of the game, the Celtics relied on Sampson and Malone's pick-and-roll to beat the Lakers to death.

114 to 109

The Lakers suffered their second loss of the season.

The data for the Celtics is concentrated on Sampson, Malone and Hill.

Sampson scored 33 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 blocks. Malone scored 30 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal. Hill hugged the thick legs of the two big men and easily scored 19 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.

After the game, Daly shook Louie's hand and said half-jokingly: "I think if I had the opportunity to coach Ralph, I should have won a few rings by now."

Almost all coaches who have coached Sampson will become his fans.

Moreover, everyone hopes that Sampson will play on his team until he retires.

Louie was different from them.

He only coached Sampson for one year and felt "tired", and then ran away, spending a year in New York waiting for the creditor in his life.

By the time Louie returned to the locker room, Garnett was blaming Ostertag for his poor performance on the defensive end.

"Tiger, why do you keep shrinking in there? You know that Ralph will not send himself in front of you!" Garnett, who was eager to regain his face, said without thinking, "Are you concentrating on the game? ?”

"What are you talking about, Kevin?" Ostertag raged, saying his failure to leave the box was the reason Sampson hit one shot, he admitted.

To say that he is not focused is to say nothing.

"Ahem..."

Louie made a sound, showing his presence.

Sure enough, when they saw Louis, everyone shut up.

Louis walked up to Garnett and said: "Jasmine, the video analysis meeting will not be held until tomorrow when I return to Los Angeles, now I ask you to go back and use your brain, organize acceptable language and then speak it in front of everyone tomorrow. .Of course, if you think this requirement is too difficult for an idiot like you who can't get into college, then forget it."

Garnett, who was completely unaware that Louie was pressing the fire, said: "No, Sir, I just want to know why Tiger doesn't defend Ralph with me..."

"Come on!" Louis sneered, "You are already the fastest insider in our team, if you can't even guard Ralph, even if Tiger can run out of the penalty area and flank him with you, so what With Tiger’s slow tortoise speed, thank goodness he’s not considered a legitimate pick-and-roll move by Boston!”

"Listen, there's no shame in getting beat up by Ralph. I've watched Ralph play like that for fifteen years. With the way he's doing tonight, no matter what big man in the league you put against him , the end will not be better than you."

"Everyone says you are the next Ralph. If you, the so-called next Ralph, make groundless accusations to your teammates immediately after the game and try to shirk responsibility, then I don't think you will ever Be the second Mr. Only." Louie's tone became gentle, "Admitting your own shortcomings, finding your own shortcomings and working harder in the usual training, this is the only way to achieve greatness."

Garnett listened to Louie's instruction, then walked up to Ostertag and apologized to him.

"Tiger, I apologize for what happened tonight."

Ostertag just patted him on the shoulder, "I have a problem too."

After reconciling with his teammates, Garnett turned to Louis and said: "Sir, Ralph is indeed great, he may be the greatest center ever, but I will not be the second him..."

Like all the arrogant and arrogant Generation X that Louie deeply despised, he threatened: "I just want to be the unique Kevin Garnett."

"right!"

A kid who didn't know the current affairs echoed, "I also want to be the unique Kobe Bryant, stop laughing at me with Michael!"

Louie laughed mockingly: "Enough of you **** Generation X brats, whenever I think your self-confidence has reached its peak, you will always break through the limit and reach new heights. "

"Molly!" Louie looked at Garnett and said seriously, "Ralph is called the only Mr. not only because he has excellent skills, but also because he helped the team in his first season in Boston. The team won the championship. If you really want to have an unforgettable career and be as unique as Ralph, it will be difficult to end without winning the championship in the next two years~www.novelmt.com~Garnett is confident Say, "No problem, I accept the challenge! "

"I don't want the next two years!" The master of the shortcomings of Generation X spoke confidently, "We will win the championship this year!"

"It's too stinky, man can't stand this brat!" Buckley threw the towel on Kobe's head, "If I were you, I would bury my face in the towel, how dare you say such a thing, Ang? Is this kind of thing qualified to say by a person of your strength? Ang?"

Usually Louis can tolerate this fat pig relying on the old to sell the old to suppress the rookie, but tonight, is he qualified? It's true that Garnett was blown away by Sampson, but Barkley was also played to death by Malone's pick-and-roll.

Louis immediately said: "Chuck, **** me, lose twenty catties of fat on my stomach first, and then tell me about strength, look at Karl Malone, and then look at you, don't you feel ashamed?" ?”

Was Barkley ashamed? Maybe a little bit, so he decided to eat a few more donuts for supper tonight, otherwise the shame would keep him from losing sleep.

hold head high!
