The Rest, Only Noise

,

There was a noticeable change in the atmosphere of the game.

The momentum of the 76ers faded visibly to the naked eye, while the Celtics were full of rage.

Their high-post cover cut tactics, and the second quarter can still work. From the second half, Louis asked the players to take the initiative to switch defenses. Under the circumstance that the Celtics did not suffer from agility, the 76ers were unable to open space through three-pointers from the outside. The number of people who can fill the paint area.

Dr. J tries to use a screen to get out of Bird's defense.

He was disappointed and couldn't do it at all.

Because even if Bird gets rid of, there will be Karl, Long, Maxwell or Sampson to switch defenses.

Once entangled by a mangy dog ​​like Carl, the Doctor will feel more uncomfortable than his counterpart Bird.

For example, at this moment, Carl switched to defending Dr. J, followed him all the way, and his words never stopped: "Doctor, wouldn't you be embarrassed to see Larry's performance like this? You are a superstar, everyone wants to see you take off gracefully. , how can you be so mediocre? Doctor? Speak up, Doctor, isn't a small character like me worth your mouth?"

Louis discovered something.

Dr. J, who has a reputation as a gentleman, is not as refined and easy-going as he seems on the surface.

He is easily irritated, it is just a natural superior temperament developed during the aba period, which makes him know how to restrain himself.

He's really a very typical player who's been devoured by his character.

In the future, there will be more superstars trapped in personal design, but one of the biggest benefits of the social media era is that it is difficult for stars to have much personal privacy, and the bigger the player is, the more attention will be paid, so many stars will not be able to stand it. People set their own limitations, and some can rebuild their own image, while others are immersed in it and cannot extricate themselves.

It's you, little boy.

With infinite switching, the 76ers' offense was unsustainable, stiff and disjointed, and could only make ends meet by relying on Malone's offensive rebounds.

I saw that Malone used his signature pout at the basket to top Sampson and took off the rebound to score a second offense.

"Don't underestimate the way he lifts his butt, the implied power is not something that Ralph can withstand at this stage." Cowens and Malone have faced each other, and he knows the latter's power.

Louie asked, "In your opinion, when will Ralph be able to withstand his hip lift?"

"Ah this..." Cowens pondered for a few seconds, considering Sampson's long legs and weak buttocks, "Don't even think about it for the rest of your life."

"Damn, Dahong, can't you tell me a lie to make me happy?" Louis regretted.

44 to 61

The Celtics have a big lead, and the 76ers are in a delicate situation.

"If it was another team, I might decide that Boston has already booked the victory, but if the opponent is Philadelphia, you have to be cautious." Heinsohn smiled. "They have probably won 99% of the time."

Cousy couldn't help joking: "Tom, you're really 'prudent.'"

In the frontcourt, Bird drove the No. 2 system and used the high post as the axis. He first pretended to cover Thomas. Suddenly, the Smiling Assassin took a detour from his side and cut into the 76ers' basket. He made a lob and directed it in place.

63 to 44

The wonderful tactical attack made people fascinated, and Louis nodded with satisfaction: "l tactics are really only playable by Larry."

Next, Sampson showed his defensive presence.

Louie is turning him into a taller, less athletic, and emotionally lukewarm version of Kevin Garnett.

His switch caused the Sixers to miss a pass.

The Celtics' infinite switch can have this effect, and Sampson's impact is immeasurable, he is long enough, fast enough, and talented enough to radiate his defense to the area inside the free throw line.

In this case, he's like Garnett.

And once he was at the forefront of the counter-attack, Louie gave him an extra tactical position.

And so, he went from Garnett to an incongruous looking Antetokounmpo.

While Sampson wasn't the epoch-making dominant center that Louie had lobbied him for, he was a unique insider of his generation.

Sampson made a single-handed fast break and dunks in the frontcourt.

"Beautiful! Ralph is great. His shot reminds me of Russell's big stride and layup from beyond the three-point line." Heinsohn said with gratitude, "This young man People are much taller than Russell!"

65 to 44

This is an alert.

The 76ers called for a timeout.

Billy Cunningham knew his team was collapsing, and he saw Louie smiling smugly not far away.

"That bastard!" Cunningham and the other players shouted as they returned to the court, "they can switch, we can switch! They can clip the ball-handler, and we can clip the ball-handler! We're going to beat them in their way. !"

Cunningham's assistant Matt Gokas's lips quivered, and the question is, at least two people on the Celtics can shoot three-pointers (Bird / Long), who is at the three-point line for the 76ers Can the outside make the opponent's heart?

I am afraid that if Andrew Toney gets the ball from outside the three-point line, he may be left empty, right?

Whether it is a high-position pass and cut, or to crack the infinite defense, or to use a high-position pass and cut hard steel to infinitely change the defense, there is only one answer, which is to create space.

In 2018, when the Rockets and the Warriors reached the tiebreaker in the great Western Conference finals, the Rockets five smalls forced the Warriors five smalls to play the giant star with infinite defense. Kerr gave up the pass, so the space opened, Durant, Curry You, me, and one singles overwhelmed the unsupportable rocket.

The same problem is put in front of the 76ers. First of all, they have no room. Even if they have room, an Andrew Tony who wants to kill the Celtics by singles can only dream back to the Bill Fitch era.

Gokas knew there was a problem, but he didn't say it.

Because he has no other way, if he gives negative suggestions and can't come up with other plans, it will dampen the morale of the team.

At the end of the timeout, Louie simply replaced Isiah Thomas to rest.

"I wanted you to play a little longer, but your 3-point shot tonight is really hot, so I decided to try it as a rookie, any opinions?" Louie smiled, sincerely, but his frowning eyebrows wrote "You It's better to have no opinion" majesty.

Thomas smiled sadly: "I don't dare to have an opinion."

"You can really have an opinion, you have that right, and I'm an enlightened coach."

Louie's soft and watery look reminded Thomas of the stray man who rode on him last night, but he believed that if he didn't give enough benefits, like he dared to have any opinion at this moment, whether it was last night's watch, or his The watch in front of him will turn his face ruthlessly.

"I'm fine," Thomas said.

"Thank you, Isiah," Louie laughed. "You are the most selfless, caring coach, and peace of mind player I've ever met."

Thomas walked off the court numbly, and Cowens threw the towel to him: "Don't be too flippant, he says that to everyone."

After Louis and Thomas communicated, they hooked up with John Paxson, "John, listen carefully, I won a rare opportunity for you, Isiah is very dissatisfied with the end at this time, look at his expression ."

"He's smiling."

"You've been on the team for so long and you don't know that he's a man who hides a knife in his smile? Can't you read the meaning of his smile?"

"Does it mean anything?"

"Can't you see 'cnmlgbd John Paxson' on his smiling face?" Louie said disappointedly. "You're so blind, no wonder Bill likes to bully you."

"What should I do?" Paxson asked terrified.

"What you have to do is very simple, use your long-range threat to create space for Larry, know how to cooperate with him, pay attention to his gestures and passwords." Louie reminded, "If you don't understand anything, then stand It's better to stay still at the best shot than to run around, understand?"

"clear!"

"Okay!" Louie slapped his **** hard, "Go on the ground full of energy!"

Louie still has confidence in Paxson, who is a typical big-time player.

No matter how scared he is off the court, as long as he walks on the court, he will press the switch in his body to get himself into the state. The Bulls had quality white shooters in both dynasties, and while Kerr had a better reputation, Paxson was the better player.

Louie didn't know the 76ers were going to learn their infinite switch and put Paxson up just to make Bird have more fun, but indirectly aimed at the point.

The 76ers have the ability to switch indefinitely, they have two athletic wings, and Cheeks is a defensive elite.

However, the IQ of the five of them together is less than half of Bird's.

Bird played their defense with the same set of tactics, from the same angle, for three consecutive possessions.

In the most embarrassing round for Dr. J, Bird's pass fake made Dr. J's judgment wrong. He actually went after Maxwell, and then Bird, who was left unguarded, made a shot like an open shooting practice.

Then, k.c. Jones, the good guy reminded Bird: "Come on, Larry, get 4 more points and you'll get 5 times as much as the Doctor."

When Bird got those 4 points and Dr. J got none, he started his notorious trash talk: "30 to 6 Julie, it's not just you and I that have poor scores, it's poor quality, that's all you have level."

For the next 5 minutes, Byrd continued his "xx to 6" mental attack.

In the last minute of the third quarter, the number has become "42 to 6".

When Dr. J knocked Bird down, Louie sensed something was wrong.

Fortunately, the referee separated the two sides in time, and the conflict did not escalate.

Louie took this opportunity to replace Maxwell and John Long with two thugs, Laimbeer and rookie Guy Williams.

Louie told Williams: "After I've finished speaking, blink your eyes when you understand. You're not here to play, you're here to protect someone. If there is a conflict later, I want you to protect Larry as soon as possible. , if he gets beaten, especially under my nose, in front of you, I'll dig a hole in the garden, bury you, and wink the **** if I understand."

Williams blinked in horror.

"Be smart, come on!" Louie caressed his **** habitually—crack!

Cowens said nonchalantly, "You are too serious, and with Larry's virtue, he won't suffer in a real fight."

"Imagine a picture, Big Red," Louie described, "Larry beat the Doctor tonight and humiliated him with trash talk until he got out of control, and then he had the upper hand in the conflict, even if he was ejected by the referee, Larry was beaten up by him, would you be happy if you were Larry? Yes, the hillbilly is not a good bird, he is likely to have the upper hand, but I don't want to give the doctor a chance to fight back, even if it is 1 % possible."

Bird's "42 to 6" was not the fuse that angered the Doctor, but after he scored the 44th point, he said to the Doctor: "Retire, Julie, the league has no place for you, you Just a crippled 6-pointer on a lot of minutes."

Dr. J, who had been suffocated all night, was no longer in the mood to play the game. In a rage, he rushed in front of Bird and pushed him down.

However, before he could come forward to punch, behind him, Ranbir clamped his body: "Don't fight!"

Guy Williams, like the owner's dog, threw the Doctor to the ground along with Ranbir.

After Bird got up~www.novelmt.com~ saw that Dr. J's limbs were being controlled, and his wickedness was full of courage. He rushed forward and threw a few heavy punches before the two teams and the referee arrived.

As a result, this regular season, destined to be remembered in history, reached its climax.

Louie saw Billy Cunningham's madness, saw the rage of the 76ers, saw the doctor beaten to the corner of his mouth and bleed, saw Laimbeer's innocent look, and saw Guy Williams take the initiative to take all the , he tried to convince Byrd that the punches he had punched at the Doctor were violent acts by his remote control of the opponent's arm.

"I heard that tonight's live broadcast in the United States?" Louie didn't seem to know, "Ah, the 76ers are really unlucky today."

k.c smiled bitterly: "If I were the president, I wouldn't think so..."

The two best teams in the east of Nima fought seven or eight times in three quarters, and the referee was taken to the hospital by the head coach of one side before the game. The image of this league...

Maintaining the image of the league has never been Louie's job. He only wants to win, to be comfortable with himself, and to not suffer from players on the court. The rest is none of his business.
