The Rest, Only Noise

Vol 2 Chapter 1261: Troubled Generation X

Latest URL:

The second away game in the Eastern Conference's four-game series is Milwaukee.

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

If it is directly rotten, if the team's immediate combat power is not sold, it will not be able to show a "good" record that can be expected in the future.

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

Thanks to the Lakers, Lu Guan had a hard time, gritted his teeth and asked for instructions, and then got a "casually tossing" approval.

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!

The mighty Duncan Cup suitors have one more member.

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

The Celtics' rise is faster than expected.

As one of the big winners of the offseason, he brought back Ralph Sampson and Karl Malone, who was about to enter the peak of his individual competitive form, at almost no cost.

The arrival of these two transformed the Celtics into an Eastern Conference powerhouse.

Louie's old acquaintance, Chuck Daly, changed his coaching style in Boston by 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 are officially among the top teams 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.

In other words, although Sampson's skills are several versions ahead of other contemporary insiders, his main style of play is still traditional.

And with age, if you want 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 an offensive player but unable to play on the defensive end and rebounding. Protecting players who do too much.

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

The interior is definitely the most difficult position on the basketball court to withstand the invasion of time.

With the exception of Tim Duncan and Karl Malone, all of the great big players have seen a cliff-like decline after the age of 35.

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

Inside is the most realistic position on the court.

The card position needs to be confronted, the important position needs to be opposed, the back play needs to be opposed, the defense needs to be opposed... Whatever you want to do in the interior, the confrontation is the first. As players get older, this drain becomes unbearable and performance drops dramatically.

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

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

Louie heard a story from a friend in Boston that Sampson called Malone the day the Celtics and Jazz closed the deal. As a result, it was Malone's family who answered the phone, who told Sampson that Malone was off-road with a parachute on his back.

Therefore, if the insider wants to extend the peak period of his competitive state, he can either play and develop a habit like Duncan, or work hard like Malone.

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

The insider should die in the restricted area, which was the common view of the people at that time.

While a player like Sampson who can play anywhere on the court has suffered physical decline, his ability to continue at his peak 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 freed Malone at the waist.

And the Celtics' trump card is...Sampson pick-and-rolls for Hill and...Malone picks-and-rolls for Sampson with the ball high.

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

The latter is a full display of Malone's pick-and-roll threat and Sampson's unique ball-handling threat among supercenters.

At the last minute of this game, the Celtics beat the Lakers to death by the pick-and-roll of Sampson and Malone.

114 to 109

The Lakers suffered their second loss of the season.

The Celtics' data centers 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 bosses and easily scored 19 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.

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

Almost every coach who has coached Sampson will become a fan of his brain.

And, everyone expects Sampson to retire on his own team.

Louis is different from them.

He only coached Sampson for one year before feeling "tired", then ran away, spent a year in New York and waited for the creditor of his life.

When Louie returned to the locker room, Garnett was blaming Ostertag for a poor defensive end.

"Tiger, why do you keep shrinking inside, you know that Ralph won't send himself in front of you!" Garnett, eager to get his face back, said without thinking, "Have you been concentrating on the game? ?"

"What did you say, Kevin?" Ostertag was furious, saying that his failure to leave the box was the reason for Sampson's one hit, he admitted.

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

"Cough cough..."

Louie spoke up, showing his presence.

Sure enough, seeing Louis, everyone shut up.

Louie walked up to Garnett and said, "Jasmine, the video analysis will wait until you return to Los Angeles tomorrow, and now I ask you to go back and use your brain to organize acceptable language and say 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, forget it."

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

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

"Listen, there's nothing to be ashamed of getting hit by Ralph, I've watched Ralph play like this for fifteen years, and with how he's been tonight, no matter which big guy in the league you're going to play against him , it won't end better than you."

"Everyone says you are the next Ralph. If your so-called next Ralph is the first time after the game to make groundless accusations to your teammates and try to shirk responsibility, then I don't think you will ever. To be the second one and only gentleman." Louie's tone softened, "Acknowledging your own shortcomings, finding your own shortcomings and working harder in your usual training is the only way to achieve greatness."

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

"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 Louie and said, "Sir, Ralph is really great, he's probably the greatest center ever, but I'm not going to be the second of him..."

Like all the arrogant Gen Xers that Louie despises deeply, he proclaims: "I just want to be the one and only Kevin Garnett."

"right!"

An ignorant boy echoed, "I also want to be a unique Kobe Bryant~www.readwn.com~ Stop making Michael laugh at me!"

Louie laughed sarcastically: "You damned Gen X brats are enough, whenever I think your self-confidence from nowhere has peaked, you will always push your limits and reach new heights. "

"Jasmine!" Louie said, looking at Garnett, "Ralph is called the only gentleman, not only because of his outstanding skills, but also because he helped the ball in his first season in Boston. The team won a championship. If you really want to have an unforgettable career and be as unique as Ralph, it’s going to be hard to end the next two years without a championship.”

Garnett said confidently: "No problem, I accept the challenge!"

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

"It sucks, man can't stand this kid!" Barkley threw the towel over 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 someone of your strength is qualified to say? Ang?"

Usually Louis can tolerate this fat pig relying on the old and selling the old to suppress the rookie, but tonight, is he qualified? Garnett was beaten by Sampson, but Barkley was also killed by Malone's pick-and-roll.

Louie said immediately: "Chuck, *** first, reduce the fat on my stomach by 20 pounds, and then tell me about strength, look at Karl Malone, and look at you, don't you feel ashamed? ?"

Is Barkley ashamed? Maybe a little bit, so he decided to eat a few more doughnuts for supper tonight, otherwise the shame would make him lose sleep.

hold head high!
