The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 236: Great night for the whole team

,

No one could have predicted that Bird would explode like never before in this game.

Note that "unprecedented" means all players except Bird.

"No other player in history has dominated a playoff game like Larry."

In game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, Bird made 15 of 15 shots in the first quarter and scored 38 points with a 100% hit rate, directly turning a game that was still suspenseful into garbage time.

Louie couldn't help but think of Klay Thompson's famous 37-point single-quarter fight against the Kings.

His hand felt so hot that no one doubted that as long as he was given enough time to shoot casually, he could break Chamberlain's 100-point record.

This kind of feel is phenomenal, and it is impossible to find.

So when the Pistons were suspended for the second time by Bird, Louie made clear the next tactics: "The only other four people on the court have to do is serve Larry!"

Sampson and Laimbeer have become pick-and-roll machines.

Thomas didn't miss a single opportunity for Bird.

Bird's offensive firepower is so strong that it makes people wonder if he really wants to score 100 points. The most terrifying thing is not how he gets those points, but what the Celtics do to help him score.

Perfect fit, great off-ball screening.

Sampson and Laimbeer covered almost every attack by Bird.

They were either on the way to the screen or used the screen to create the perfect timing for Bird.

In every subsequent shot of Bird, in addition to himself, there are Sampson or Laimbeer, or both.

They always came up as a defender who physically helped Bird against the opposition.

Sampson and Laimbeer are the reason Bird's game is getting easier. Then, Thomas had 0 points and 11 assists in a single quarter, which stuck the label of an unsung hero on him.

Bird couldn't get as many shots without Thomas' passing.

A good feel requires timing. To break records with a good feel requires the support of the entire team.

Without Sampson and Laimbeer, Bird needs to handle the ball more against defenses. Can his touch hold up?

If Thomas, like Irving, suddenly had a few singles in his head when his teammates were about to break the record, there would not be Bird's great 38 points in a single quarter.

"What we should see, in addition to Larry's great shooting performance, is the amazing tactical literacy of the Celtics team."

Bob Cousy appreciates that.

"We can see that they have screens or pick-and-rolls every possession, creating opportunities for Larry every moment, and Isiah's selfless passing provides endless momentum for Larry's explosion. If the NBA takes the ncaa's Halftime, I have absolutely no doubt that Larry can score 60 points in the first half."

After Cousy finished, it was Heinsohn's turn.

He may think that Cousy didn't blow it deep enough, and actually overturned the old comrade's words: "No, more than 60 points, Larry scored 38 points in the first quarter, I don't know if this is a record, Boston except him. Other than that, only Ralph made a tip-off, and no one else scored."

"Littlelu turned the Celtics star-studded Celtics into a team-oriented championship division, which is the most surprising thing for me, and it is also a point that we have never seen in the Fitch era."

"They insisted on passing the ball to someone with a hot hand, and everyone seemed happy. Let's congratulate Larry, who broke the previous record and added the NBA all-time scoring record to his name." Inshorn emphasized, "And, this happened in the playoffs!"

Moreover, Bird's 38 points in a single quarter greatly refreshed Elgin Baylor's 22 points in a playoff quarter set 23 years ago.

Even if the playoffs are not counted, taking this record to the regular season is the first in history.

On March 2, 1962, Chamberlain scored 31 points in the fourth quarter. That day was his single-game 100-point battle. According to the testimony of the witnesses, in the last quarter, his opponents took the initiative to foul him because they couldn't guard against it, but he had a good free throw feeling that day, and he fouled him even in this situation, it can only be said that even God wants to see it to the birth of the percent record.

Then there was Gervin and David Thompson, who had 33 and 32 points, respectively, in 1978—they were going for the scoring title that day.

Compared to these regular-season records, Bird's record was in the playoffs, and he blew the Pistons this wave.

In the next three quarters, Louis repeatedly wanted to put Bird on the court to get 50 points.

However, what he got in return was his sentence: "No, I played enough today."

"You **** have to be responsible for history!" Louie believes that with Bird's feel tonight, it is possible to score 70 points in a single game.

70 points in a single game in the playoffs, what is the concept?

Remember, Jordan's God of War? It only scored 63 points. If Bird scored 70+ tonight, how should it be played? God his dad?

Bird said with a mocking smile: "I only need to be responsible for you."

In the end, he didn't fight for another second.

Even as the audience shouted "We want Larry" every minute, Louie remained as indifferent as a dead man.

He knew that he would be scolded, but he would never help Bird take the blame. This matter must be told to the outside world.

Louie knew how people would react when they learned the truth, and the media wouldn't blame Bird for pretending to be an addict. Instead, they admired such a personality.

If the same situation is replaced by black players, it will be arrogant and arrogant to live up to the expectations of fans.

That night, the Pistons lost to the Celtics.

Bird finished that wave and they were 20 points behind.

And a team with many stars like the Celtics, if they lose by 20 points, the chance of being pulled back is 0.

138 to 100

Bird only played 8 minutes to put the game into garbage time, and the next three quarters and four minutes can only be a continuation of the carnage.

"I've been expecting Larry to come up and get 50 points."

Daly said to Louie.

Louie was also annoyed. "Larry doesn't like to score when the game is already tied."

"You must be troubled."

"To tell you the truth, if I hadn't used him later, I would have strangled him to death for his virtue." Louispi said with a smile.

Daly was abused by Louis for two consecutive games. The first game was considered a failure by him, and the second game was an uncontrollable factor.

Bird feels this way, whoever comes will die.

That night, Louie and the Celtics three giants gathered in the media interview room.

Bird played 8 minutes and scored 38 points and 4 rebounds; Thomas played 29 minutes and scored 14 points, 18 assists and 4 rebounds; Sampson played 29 minutes and scored 32 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks.

They played an easy game with wins and stats all in.

Louis first made it clear why Bird did not play in the last three quarters.

Re-evaluate Bird's great 38 points in a single quarter.

"I don't think it's selfish. Any spectator who watched the game would find that every shot that Larry made came from the creation of his teammates, Isaiah's passing, and Ralph and Bill. The tireless screening, the opportunities he created with his own hard work. It's the result of the whole system."

"I know there have been many great one-quarter performances in history, but I believe that none came close to Larry tonight. Every opportunity he has is the result of collective intelligence and labor, which is part of what basketball is all about. A sport as it should be. Terrific record."

His words are still restrained. After becoming a coach, he is more willing to see teamwork to achieve success. Although relying on a giant planet is simple and enjoyable, it does not reflect the coaching ability.

Now he can finally understand why Kerr is in charge of Cosmic Yong and has a great card, but doesn't like to rely on Cudu pick-and-roll all the way to the finals like when Mike Brown was the acting coach.

This is what an aspiring head coach will do. Curry is not allowed to hold the ball because the latter's off-ball threat can involve the attention of the two defenders at any time, which is devastating to the enemy's defense line~www. novelmt.com~ It just so happens that Curry has a historic movement and the No. 1 off-ball threat in history. For that cosmic team, Curry who "wields the ball" should not exist.

As for why Cosmic Yong was relegated to an ordinary strong team that "enters the playoffs, even if it succeeds", Kerr still insisted not to hold the ball for Curry, it is difficult to say. Either Kerr is stupid, or Curry's body can't stand it, or Kerr wants to sacrifice Curry's status to promote the growth of others, or he's really a Phil Jackson II who can only fly aircraft carriers.

Louie likes to see Bird play a historic performance with the help of his teammates, which not only reflects Bird's strength, but also reflects the chemistry within the Celtics team, but also reflects his control over the team.

Therefore, Bird has the exclusive record, but let everyone in the team follow suit.

Even Thomas was smiling, answering questions, and being in a good mood, not jealous of Bird at all.

It was the perfect night as the Celtics defended two home games with an unstoppable offensive and drove the Pistons to the brink.

Gradually they entered the realm of the Washington Bullets - set a small goal, win the Celtics one game?
