The Rest, Only Noise

Pat Riley has a challenge.

Because the Celtics' five-three-point lineup has successfully put pressure on their defense, and has caused them to lose sight of one another.

Halfway through the second quarter, Riley saw the Celtics lead by five.

Bird pretended to pass the ball, his movements were very realistic, but no matter how realistic, how could Wilkins be shaken to lose his center of gravity?

Standing on the sidelines, he could not feel the pressure from Wilkins, he just wanted to scold loudly.

But he couldn't do it.

Bird's three-pointer gave him a jolt, and he ran to the technical desk to request a timeout.

"38 to 33! LittleLu's evolution gave the Celtics a lead!" Dick Stockton handed the question to Heinsohn, "Tom, what do you think of his evolution?"

Heinsohn had forgotten about snubbing him at the Louis Legends.

"I think I already know why Reed chose him as the head coach of the Celtics," Heinsohn said clearly. "He's a young man who is open to new things, and the 3-point line is a game-changer. A product, a lot of old coaches reject him and are eager to get it out of the game, but we're almost certain that the 3-point line is here to stay. If you can't make it go away, you've got to learn to live with it."

"Louis is more edgy than I thought, and he doesn't just want to coexist with the three-point line, he also wants to use it."

Heinsohn said in surprise: "The five guys on the Celtics court just now have three-pointers in the past few minutes, and although their three-point threats are different, they have proved that they can be in the three-point range. Shooting out of the arc, it puts a lot of pressure on the Lakers. Larry's instigation at the high post runs through the Celtics offense, and now, I think Isiah and Ralph are almost resting."

For the starter of the second quarter, Louis only retained John Long, and all the other four were replaced.

Especially Bird, who has been playing for a long time.

He changed the lineup, and now will be Thomas, Karl, Long, Maxwell and Sampson.

"Isiah, your strength should be more than that, can Dennis Johnson be a threat to you?" Louie never believed that Thomas would be guarded by any Lakers player.

With the Lakers' defense, Thomas wants to play, depending on his own mood.

"Next, play more No. 1 system, Ralph and Cedric, you have to cooperate more with Isiah." Louis emphasized, "When necessary, you can solve the problem with one-on-one, Isiah, the Lakers have no one Can match you in speed."

Thomas nodded yes.

Ranbir said sourly: "Come on, I've worked so hard to gain the lead, you can save me some use!"

"Look proud of you, does the lead in the score have five cents to do with you?" Maxwell asked disdainfully.

Laimbeer said confidently: "Four people can't play a game."

Louie pushed Maxwell into the field and told him to stop talking nonsense.

On the other hand, the Lakers made a lot of targeted deployments to the Celtics' massive high-post pick-and-roll, and Bird dominated the ball bombardment.

As a result, Louis waved his hands and changed all the people.

"Don't worry, they'll still attack from the perimeter!" Riley yelled.

Dave Wall, another of Riley's assistant coaches, said: "If it's this lineup, we just need to focus on John Long's three-pointer, and the others can maintain the defensive intensity and press outside the paint. Limit their offense."

Riley doesn't think the Celtics' offense is that good.

"That kid is not easy, let's see and talk." Riley decided to try the depths of the Celtics.

The Lakers also replaced Magic to rest and returned to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, with Dennis Johnson, Sterling, Michael Cooper and Jamal Wilkes.

There is defense, athletic ability, and forwards who can pull high shots, but the height of the backcourt is a little shorter.

The Lakers really let Johnson guard Thomas, and let Scott go after Lang.

Johnson's defense likes to put Thomas on two steps, because Thomas doesn't have the ability to make two-step pull-ups.

Thomas shook to Maxwell's pick-and-roll, and the Lakers' defense just showed his fangs.

They still bully Thomas' long-range shooting instability, so they directly circumvent the pick-and-roll. Johnson is a scheming man. Although his speed is far less than Thomas's, he can stick to people and easily prevent Thomas from entering the basket.

His teammates waved their arms, adding obstacles to Thomas's scoring path.

He accidentally passed the ball into Wilkes' hands.

Wilkes then passed the ball to Scott, who was about to make a fast break and was caught up by Long and fouled.

The two sides finally remembered the relationship between each other's old enemies, and for the first time they played the smell of gunpowder on the field.

Scott rolled over and yelled at Lang, "Nigger, you're playing with fire!"

Lang didn't want to scold him, and after fouling, he raised his hands to back away.

"Even if you think you're wrong, don't imitate the French to surrender!" Louie shouted.

Hearing this, Lang put his hand down, Scott kept chattering about coming up, Maxwell stood up for his teammates, and went forward to exchange a few waves of trash talk.

The referee didn't want any friction and accidents to happen in this game, so he stepped forward to stop it in time.

This controlled both sides.

"Isiah's three-pointers are unstable for a day, and his pick-and-roll attack is not a threat for a day." Louis couldn't help but said when he remembered the embarrassment of Thomas being surrounded.

Tomjanovich shook his head and said, "It's not that easy. He didn't start practicing three-pointers until he entered the league."

"Humph!" Louis was the most annoying of such remarks.

It's as if Bird, John Long, Laimbeer, Paxson, Ainge are all three-pointers from God.

To this kind of self-defeating morale, a quote from Ray Allen can be refuted: "Don't disgust me, the old genius doesn't care about my 3-pointers."

The implication is that don't use a talent to insult other people's efforts for it.

From a human point of view, there are really not many talents sent by God.

Scott was fouled by Lang and the result was one of two free throws, which was a valuable foul.

Thomas dribbles over again.

Louie reminded him, "Stop calling the pick-and-roll."

Thomas didn't understand what he meant.

"Larry and Bill can share your pressure with three points, but Cedric and Ralph can't. It's better to find a way to break the game instead of calling it a pick-and-roll." Louis suggested quickly.

Thomas, like the magician on the opposite side, was affected by the luxurious teammate configuration that affected the space to display his personal abilities.

Even Louis underestimated Thomas.

In this round, he dribbled the ball with his fingertips, raised his center of gravity, lowered his center of gravity, and accelerated. The defensive master Dennis Johnson, who Buster deliberately dug up to wipe Magic's butt, didn't even have a chance to react.

Thomas threw him away, got rid of the exhaust behind him, and then made an emergency stop two steps inside the three-point line.

40 to 34

"NiceShot!" Louie yelled.

The Garden is also crying out for Thomas, and the recognition he doesn't get in the media can be found here.

Thomas ran back, and the Lakers figured out a way to integrate their offensive resources.

The magician is not here, it's best to keep things simple.

After all, the Lakers are a team that destroys opponents on fast breaks. When they fall into a positional battle, they seem to have many options, but combined, there are only two options.

Give the ball to Kareem, or give the ball to someone else.

If you need someone to play a strong release in a positional fight, don't you pass the ball to the most consistent two-pointer in history and let someone else do it?

They gave the ball to Abdul-Jabbar with Sampson behind him.

It was the first time they faced each other in such a long opening.

Sampson hit Kareem on the left shoulder, using the method Thurmond had taught him.

Although both he and Kareem tend to be thin and thin, the latter is older, and Sampson is a muscle trained with scientific recipes, and his strength may be stronger than Kareem.

Suddenly encountering such fierce resistance made Kareem very uncomfortable.

He roared, turned sideways, and forcibly pressed the elbow of his left hand against Sampson's chest, trying to use his skyhook.

The way he wanted to be strong aroused Sampson's blood.

Sampson followed with an angry shout and jumped up with all his strength.

Seven feet four inches, a jumping height high enough for a flat basket, in front of Kareem, the sky hook that seemed impossible to be blocked, blasted out of bounds.

Louie, Tomjanovich, and Cowens opened their mouths in an O shape at the same time.

After Thurmond was shocked, the first thing that came to his mind was to pretend: "Have the style of the old man back then."

Heinsohn babbled at Sampson.

Listen to what he said:

"Ralph's block makes me think it's not a great achievement for Wilt to block Kareem twice in one round!"

The Lakers were surrounded by Sampson this time.

The serve was bad, and Thomas flashed out to steal.

"Oh Isaiah!"

Thomas grabbed the ball and rushed to the frontcourt, scoring a layup.

42 to 34

The Lakers passed the ball to Abdul-Jabbar again.

This time, Abdul-Jabbar felt that something was wrong and did not insist on fighting.

His hunch was correct, Maxwell was nearby, and if he hit the bottom and let Sampson and Maxwell encircle it, it would be difficult to handle.

Abdul-Jabbar cleverly found Wilkes who had pulled up high and passed the ball.

Wilkes, known as Silky, hit a high jumper.

36 to 42

The ball stopped Riley from calling a timeout.

However, the Lakers still need to stop someone's offensive.

"Isiah, give me some more!" Louie shouted.

Thomas had a gloomy face. Louis would give what he wanted, even if God stood opposite him, he would go over to fight it out.

It was Dennis Johnson. This time, he accelerated and rushed forward as soon as he met face to face, making an emergency stop and dribbling the ball to the left.

The hemp was swayed by this, but the focus of defense is still there.

However, Thomas didn't rush to the end. He didn't have any advantage in his height when he rushed to the basket. Therefore, he took advantage of the opponent's inability to adjust the center of gravity and pulled from a high position.

44 to 36

"Looks like ~www.novelmt.com~ Dennis Johnson can't stop him at all?" Louie said in surprise.

Tomjanovich poured some cold water, "He's in a very hot offense now, maybe he can make a shot no matter what."

If Thomas' offensive ability is like this, then Louie's judgment of this person's team attributes may be even better.

He was really weird, what was Isiah Thomas? How could there be so many complex compositions on his body?

Hypocritical, smiling, violent, selfless, team, eager to be noticed and willing to suppress his own desire to express, clearly knows that Boston does not like black people, but obsessively wants to be recognized by the city, jealous, hate Bird, but never express come out.

Especially on the last point, Louis still couldn't understand how Thomas balanced his desires and positions.

Today he beat Dennis Johnson to the bottom of Louie's face, proving how restrained he is on a normal day.

Louis was both excited and nervous.
