The Rest, Only Noise

The Celtics continued to move forward.

Beating the Sonics, they won 51 and then headed to Los Angeles for a rematch with the Lakers.

As before, CBS broadcast the game nationwide, but the second contest between the two sides was not as publicized as the last time.

If you are interested, you will come to see it, and if you are not interested, no matter how much you promote it, you will not come.

Unless the showdown between Bird and the Magician becomes a social event.

The league and related media have been working in this direction.

It is not the first time that Louie has come to the Forum Arena. He used to be an assistant coach before, but now, as the head coach, taking the team into it, it feels different.

The boos went straight to his eardrums, and he understood that Lakers fans remembered everything, including how Elgin Baylor and Jerry West's Lakers were beaten by the Celtics two decades ago. , they all remember.

That Lakers team made the playoffs eight times, losing seven times.

Lost to the Celtics five times, lost to the Knicks twice.

Many celebrities can be seen at the scene of the game.

There's Jack Nicholson, an absolute Lakers fan, and Debra Winger, who sit very close together and starred together last year in a box-office movie called "Mother and Daughter Love." Movies, if not for the "Star Wars" that Dugu seeks to defeat, it is not that there is no chance to stabilize the annual championship.

There are also actor Eddie Murphy, a favorite of Louie, and former sexual enlightenment Jamie Lee Curtis, whose pole dance in "True Lies" is definitely a timeless classic.

At this time, it was 10 years before she appeared in that work. She looked very young, pink and tender, not so much like Xie Na.

These are still recognizable by Louis at a glance, and there are even more celebrities who cannot be recognized.

This kind of celebrity effect and specifications are not comparable to the Boston Garden. Jerry Buss used ShowTime to promote the Lakers, making celebrities feel that it is a matter of pride to be able to watch the ball in the front row of the forum.

Bass' strategy was a great success, but unfortunately, this kind of success has never been taken lightly by the Celtics.

The Celtics rejected the spirit of entertainment.

When Louie came to midfield, Murphy jumped up and shouted, "Death to the Celtics!"

"We can't let celebrity fans down," Pat Riley said with a smile.

Louie shook hands with Riley and looked back at Murphy, "Eddie, you are a New Yorker here cheering for the Lakers, are you embarrassed?"

Murphy said confidently: "I know what I'm doing! I spend ten times as many days in Los Angeles as in New York year-round. Who do you think I should cheer for? Besides, is that team in New York an NBA team? They made it to the season. The playoffs will burn high incense, how can the Lakers be so good?"

This is the first time Louis has seen such a confident winner.

"Yes! Yes! Beat up the Celtics!" Not far from Murphy, a beautiful woman far superior to Curtis shouted with a fist.

Although Louis believes that Lorraine is the most beautiful woman in the world, the young woman who is cheering for the Lakers at this time, although not as beautiful as Lorraine, has a smile like a magician's, which is very sweet and makes people feel good. .

"I originally thought that it would be over if I won the game." Louie ignored Riley, especially displeased with the fact that the beauty was on his opposite side, "Because of you, I won't give up until I win more than 15 points in this game today! "

"Impossible!" She didn't seem to know that the Lakers lost nearly 20 points in Boston last time. "I am invincible in the world!"

"That's right!" Murphy didn't seem to know how many points the Lakers lost to the Celtics on the road.

He said arrogantly, "Larry Bird is just an overrated white man, and he's a thousand miles worse than No-Maj!"

"Yes, Larry is overrated!" cried the beauty again.

Louie asked inexplicably: "You are also white. Even if you support the Lakers, you shouldn't deny Larry, right? He is the great white hope."

When Louie said she was white, her eyes went straight: "Who's white? You're white, you look white from top to bottom!"

"I'll go..." Louis smiled, "Although you are very beautiful, you don't distinguish between right and wrong, your judgment is limited, and your eyesight is not good. You will be born beautiful next time, and your skin will be beautiful because your parents have good genes. Everyone can see how white his skin is, and he is clearly Asian."

"You are white!"

Knowing that she was deliberately messing with her own mentality, Louis laughed on the spot and ignored it.

"Wait!" Riley called Louie.

Louis turned back inexplicably.

"Coach Lu, out of respect for your opponent, you should at least shake my hand." Riley stretched out his hand as if he had an obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Louis came back to him embarrassedly, took his hand and said, "I didn't mean to."

"I understand you, every visiting coach who comes to the Forum will be dazzled." Riley said proudly, "Except for the Forum and the Garden (Madison Garden) ten years ago, you can't see it in other arenas. So many celebrity fans."

Louie laughed: "If I were you, I might not be so happy, because if you lose, and if you lose badly, you will definitely leave a bad impression in the hearts of these people."

"Don't worry, Coach Lu." Riley said calmly and confidently, "I've prepared a bunch of plans for you!"

At this time, during the warm-up, the magician completed a tomahawk dunk that Bird could never do in his next life, making the audience hilarious.

Wilkins followed up with a massive dunk with both hands, which made the people on the forum goosebumps.

The beautiful fan provoked Louis again: "You wait to lose!"

Louis waved to her with a smile, and said nothing more.

He carefully pondered the appearance of the other party, and it seemed that he was indeed not completely white. If it was an authentic white person, it should be whiter, but her appearance was obviously a bit brownish.

This means... she may be a black person?

According to the one drop of blood principle, she should be black.

If Louie guessed correctly, it's no wonder she reacted so strongly when Louie said she was white.

White people do not allow the slightest impurity in their blood, as long as they are mixed blood they are not white. Black people are the other way around, as long as there is a drop of black blood in their blood, they are all black.

Louie was too lazy to deal with this thread, the game was about to start.

Although the opponent was the Lakers, Louis still took the strategy of the previous game and continued to play, with no other changes.

Because the Lakers will definitely meet in the finals, and now, if you can hide a little, you can hide a little. Instead, he wondered what Riley was talking about in the pile of plans.

As a result, he and the rest of the coaching staff were bewildered when Riley's pile of plans was initially presented to Louie.

In the Celtics' first possession, when the ball went to Bird on the perimeter, the Lakers defense staggered back.

"what's the situation?"

Louis muttered.

Bird has always been an opponent that opponents focus on marking. The Lakers actually played the opposite way when they came up. They let Bird on the perimeter empty!

It was a sight to behold Louie, K.C. Jones, Tomjanovich and Cowens.

Since the opponent let himself shoot, Bird was naturally rude, raised his hand and threw a three-pointer. He wanted to teach the Lakers a lesson, but his hand slipped and he missed the shot.

"Bill, give you a chance and you're useless!" Louie shouted bitterly.

Bird was used to ignoring Louie's voice, and he was angry.

For a player like him, the harder the opponent defends, the happier he is. Suddenly the Lakers don't guard his three-pointer, which is simply insulting him.

An iron three-pointer was beaten back by the Lakers.

The magician looked eager to avenge his last revenge in the garden, and dashed for a dunk.

In the last round, Louie was not sure whether the Lakers really wanted to let Bird's three-pointer. In the next round, he can basically be sure.

The Lakers are really going to let Bird's 3-pointer go.

It seems to be killing, if you think about it, it doesn't seem to be unreasonable.

Bird made at least five 3-pointers per game at Louie's direction and hit 1.8. His 3-point percentage is not that high relative to his 2-point range, and five 3-pointers per game is already a league The first shot count was not enough to cause a qualitative change, that is, he couldn't use the current three-point shot count to make his data magic ball.

The notion that a 33.5 percent 3-point shot is better than a 50 percent 2-point shot doesn't hold up at his output.

So, Riley's choice to let go of his 3-pointer is a bet that he won't be able to remain productive even after the production has increased.

Then, Bird's second three-pointer struck the iron again.

This time, Bird became angry and rushed to the Magician who was ready to fight back.

Louis smiled.

"Larry, don't shoot if you can't make it. Everyone has a bad hand, even you."

Hearing his words, Bird, who had already decided not to shoot, turned back and scolded: "Why don't they give me a chance to shoot? Do you think I will always miss?"

"You've conceded two goals in a row."

"The next goal must be scored!"

Louie wasn't sure if Bird's next goal was a must.

He only saw the Lakers fall into a positional battle. Abdul-Jabbar, who had gone crazy at the Garden home not long ago, has reconciled with his teammates as before, turned around and used a skyhook before entering.

The Lakers are off to a 4-0 start.
