The Rest, Only Noise

, the rest, only noise

Currently, the Celtics are 67 wins and 8 losses.

Only 1 win away from the best record in team history;

Only 2 wins away from the league's best record in regular season history;

Just 2 and 3 wins away from breaking the best record in franchise history and the league's record.

Although there are many media who don't like Louie, his record is too hard, and he has basically locked the position of the coach of the year.

This made him very happy, because when he signed the contract with Auerbach, he clearly stated that he needed to lead the team to the first record in the league, plus win the championship, in order to get the full salary and activate the summer jump-out clause.

The final of the NCAA National Championship gave the Celtics a four-day break.

Louie doesn't like to stretch the vacation so long, because the Celtics have often overdone their performance.

The first game back from the holidays, they always played badly.

The result was exactly as he expected.

On April 3, the away game against the Cleveland Cavaliers was an incredible downturn for the Celtics.

From the perspective of vitality, only Bird and Thomas wanted to win, and everyone else played lifelessly. Laimbeer was even more anxious and took five fouls in halftime.

The all-around flank of the Cavaliers, "Big Tree" Cliff Robinson scored 30 points, 20 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks, leading the Cavaliers from the bottom of the Eastern Conference to defeat the strong and give the Celtics their ninth defeat.

Louis was extremely angry.

"Sorry, what I want to say now cannot be said in front of the camera, I have to go back to the dressing room."

Louis rushed back to the locker room with a gloomy face and roared at the crowd.

"Did you see the reaction of the Clevelands? These guys who only soak themselves in the jar of wine are dancing all over the place because of your downturn! You should be ashamed!" Louie roared, "This is the most disgusting I have seen this year. The game! If you **** continue to maintain this state, we will not even be able to pass the first round of the playoffs!"

No one dared to make a sound, and Louis' anger poured out for almost five minutes before subsiding.

When Louis had vented his anger, he became calmer.

"The opponent in the next game is still the Cavaliers. The difference is that this time we play at our home court." Louis stared at the players, especially those who played badly. "You guys know that the Gardens allow spectators to bring alcohol into the arena, and if your performance is as disgusting as tonight, I'm sure they'll pour alcohol in your face, if that happens, even if that wine is poured When you get to the ground, please lick it clean with your tongue, you deserve it."

After all, Louie called Bird and Thomas to the press conference.

They made some regretful remarks about not tying the record tonight.

The next day, the Celtics returned to Boston from Cleveland.

In the afternoon, they practiced at the Greek Academy as usual, and Louie generally did not supervise the practice, because other than his ability to shoot a few three-pointers, other basketball skills were not enough to help them practice.

But today, he was watching this group of people on the training ground.

It definitely brings stress.

Bird is not used to his presence, so he will increase the frequency of trash talk.

All the players on the field did not escape his trash talk, he spat at everyone.

The pressure he brings will add extra intensity to the training, but it can also lead to conflict.

Thomas is different from everyone else. When Bird mocks him for being short, he in turn mocks Bird for being as slow as a tortoise.

"Larry, I can run faster than you can."

"Really? I can score on your head with my eyes closed."

Such conversations are not uncommon.

Louis didn't look good the whole time, looked around, eagerly trying to catch a lazy guy on the training ground to stand up.

If you want to kill the chicken and warn the monkey, you have to run out of a disobedient chicken, otherwise it is really difficult to do.

This is why his face has been tense.

"Still angry?" Tomjanovich asked with a smile.

"Where is it? I'm in a very good mood." Louis replied sternly.

Tomjanovich smiled lightly: "Really? But seeing the anger on your face, why not drink some Coke to cool down?"

After speaking, Tomjanovich made a bottle of ice Coke.

For now, there are only three things Louis can't refuse.

⑴: A woman more beautiful than Lorraine seduces Louis to cheat - there is no woman more beautiful than Lorraine in the world, even if there is, there is a reason for his cheating, he has not been close to a woman for two months;

⑵: Going home tonight, Lorraine suddenly informed him that the doctor said that he could have intercourse;

⑶: Ice Coke.

Louie took the Coke, Tomjanovich patted him on the shoulder, "Don't put too much pressure on it, I'll watch it here, there's a stack of documents just sorted out in the office."

"Then...you're watching?" Louie seemed to distrust Tomjanovich.

Tomjanovich said: "Don't worry, they don't dare to be lazy with me."

However, Louie does not know how strict Tomjanovich is. He believes that good training quality can improve the performance of players. Therefore, as long as he is on the training ground, he will insist that players implement his training targets.

Laimbeer complained a lot about this. He was the one who disliked training the most and was also the least willing to sweat on the training ground.

Louie went back to the office and sat down, opened the Coke and took a sip.

Miraculously, his mood really improved.

Louie went back to the stack of papers that Tomjanovich had put on his desk.

"Potential playoff first-round opponent scouting report."

This year, the top-ranked teams are no longer entitled to a first-round bye.

The era of the eighth and the first in the division has arrived.

The Atlantic Division, to which the Celtics belong, is a highly competitive division.

The five teams in the division all have the strength to make the playoffs. The fifth-ranked Washington Bullets are a potential first-round opponent for the Celtics.

They're already sure that 40 wins won't be possible, and there are few teams competing with them for the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference.

The seventh-ranked Eagles have won a few games higher than them, and then the Nets, Pistons and other teams belonging to the middle-level team.

The second-tier group has the 76ers and the Pistons.

The Celtics have the only record.

This reconnaissance report prepared by Tomjanovich is information about the Bullets.

This season, the Celtics and Bullets have met four times, winning all of them.

The so-called reconnaissance report is to analyze the opponent's strengths, find the opponent's shortcomings, and then set a game plan to turn the opponent's long board into a short board.

This is the "eye race".

If it happens that the opponent's strengths are your weaknesses, and your strengths are the opponent's weaknesses, it will be a point-to-point match.

Teams that play to their strengths more thoroughly tend to win games.

The Bullets have the third-best defensive rebounding percentage in the league, and just look at their roster to find out.

All-Star big man Jeff Luland, rebounding forward Greg Ballard and Rick Mahone.

It's strange that a team with these three people is not strong in rebounding.

Plus, their acceptance of 3-pointers is above the league average, making the fifth-most 3-pointers per game.

Last but not least, they have the worst schedule in the league.

This is a statistic put forward by Pat Riley, taking into account factors such as the level of opponents, road trips, back-to-back, afternoon games, etc. No one knows what the specific formula is, but the Bullets' schedule is so intense, it shows that they The actual ranking may be a little higher than the existing position.

Louie circled the players who needed attention, but didn't take it too seriously.

The Celtics are way better than bullets.

It's a game he might win without calling a timeout, and if he can take the Celtics out of this series, his career is probably over.

After rest and high-quality training, the Celtics are finally back in game form.

The Cavaliers, who came to Boston from Cleveland, were eager to beat the Celtics as they would at home.

Unfortunately, they met another team.

The Celtics devoured Cleveland's flesh and blood like an ogre, and the game went into garbage time at halftime.

In the end, the dignity of the Cavaliers was shattered.

The Celtics beat the Cavaliers by a huge 51-point margin, 139-88, venting their grievances after Cleveland's loss.

A lot of this part of the grievance was brought by Louie~www.novelmt.com~ He tried his best to stimulate his players in the past two days and made the atmosphere of the training ground very tense, so before the opening, no one of them wanted to Fail like the last one.

With 68 wins, Louis led the team to the best record in Celtics history in the first year of his coaching career.

Tom Heinsohn said: "He's a natural coach."

With 68 wins and 9 losses, it can be said that the Celtics have a 100% chance of tying the NBA record.

Because they have never lost on a losing streak this season, it is impossible to expect them to suffer a five-game losing streak and stop at 68 wins.

If 69 wins is a certainty, what about 70 wins, 71 wins... or even a 100% record to end the regular season and finally win 73 wins?

"As long as the Celtics lose, they will start another winning streak, which has been a regular pattern since the beginning of the season. So, it is very possible to win the rest of the game and advance to the playoffs with 73 wins. what happened.” —Bob Ryan, Boston Globe, Saturday, April 7, 1984.
