The Rest, Only Noise

Louie saw the Lakers' desire to cut the score and enter the fourth quarter.

They put together a lineup that looked defenseless, but actually played a decent defense.

One idea Riley instilled in the gang was rotation defense.

Before the 1980s, players who could guard multiple positions were basically superhumans.

The concept of rotation defense is only more popular in college. In the NBA, the concept of playing big and playing fast and playing slow has always existed. Therefore, some coaches would rather bet on the opponent's shot, and also let players choose to chase when facing pick-and-rolls. Defend the ball handler, not switch.

It was completely different in the 80s.

A large number of players with extraordinary athletic ability have sprung up. These people often have speed, elasticity, height and arm length, which is the basis of indiscriminate rotation.

Even so, the concept of rotating defense and switching defenses is not popular.

The only one who has put this fresh idea into practice is the 76ers in previous years.

They've got Dr. J, they've got Bobby Jones, they've got Caldwell Jones, they've got Daryl Dawkins, they've got a bunch of amazingly athletic players, and they're made for this system.

This system, after the arrival of Moses Malone, disappeared.

The 76ers have become a true superstar team. The problem is, their deep problems haven't been solved. Neither Dr. J nor Malone are superstars who can dominate the game in the traditional sense. Without a switch system that can be used against all teams, Dr. J and Malone have been sent off by the Nets this season after their motivation subsided.

The Lakers are the successors of the 76ers. Even in the finals, their record against the 76ers is 2 wins and 1 loss, which does not affect Riley's learning from them.

The Lakers' lineup basically has only one concept.

Abdul-Jabbar protected the basket, McAdoo released himself, Johnson, Magic and Wilkins defended indiscriminately.

They do not have a fixed counterpart, who is who is on the stand. If it is passed, other people must make up for the defense immediately, and the person who has been passed must find another defense object.

Magic and Wilkins' athleticism is phenomenal, limited by their defensive awareness.

However, the Celtics did not play well in several offenses at the beginning of the second half, and even allowed the Lakers to chase 5 points.

50 to 62

To fix the problem, Louie requested a suspension.

"The Lakers' performance in these few minutes in the second half was amazing. They played amazing offense and defense with a lineup that didn't look very good."

As Heinsohn said, Louis pointed his finger at the counterpoint.

"Cedric, you replace Bill." Louie replaced Laimbeer, who was not mobile enough to affect McAdoo's shot from a high position.

Then, Louie said: "It's still our strategy to let them shoot high, but one thing needs to change. If Bob McAdoo continues to shoot in this area (pointing to the free throw line), someone has to interfere with him."

"Am I going to flank Kareem, or go out with him?" Maxwell asked.

"No, your mission is to flank Kareem." Louie said to others, "interfering with McAdoo's mission, handing it over to the outsiders, letting them shoot is our main idea, but strategy is strategy, and tactical intentions must be implemented. We have to act according to the situation on the field, as accurate as McAdoo, we have to pick one person to restrain him."

"In addition, the offense should be more flexible. I really can't believe that you guys have missed consecutively against their lineup." Louie asked inexplicably, "You want to tell me about Magic, Wilkins and McAdoo's defense. Is it fine?"

After Louis finished speaking, the pause ended.

The Celtics' offense immediately improved, and it seems that Louis's suspension arrangement was successful.

The problem is that Louie didn't make more arrangements on offense. His main arrangement was on the defensive end, and the problems on the offensive end were more about talking nonsense that had nothing to do with offense.

He believes that there will be problems with the defense of this lineup of the Lakers. The Celtics did not make this a problem for the Lakers before, it can only be that the offense is not well done.

Now, with a paused adjustment, the old feeling is back.

Thomas used Bird's body as a bunker and broke through. Abdul-Jabbar had a first-class threat to the basket, but the speed was gone.

If he didn't find the position in advance to stop, it would not be able to affect Thomas' breakthrough.

64 to 50

Thomas easily scored 2 points.

Next is the test of the Lakers. Louis did not expect that their first attack after the suspension ended, actually letting McAdoo and Abdul-Jabbar fall to the left and right.

Magic passed the ball to McAdoo because he was on Maxwell.

Almost at the same time, Bird gave up Wilkins and turned to the low post to help.

McAdoo played the pace of turning around and walking to the bottom line. Under Bird's pressure, he stepped out of bounds, and the entire attack had ended before it even started.

"As an opponent, you can always trust Bob McAdon!" Heinsohn laughed heartily at his opponent while sitting on the national broadcast commentary.

When McAdoo made an offensive mistake and the ball was given to the Celtics, the five players on the Lakers field made a very good rotation defense with anger.

That's what it's like to play with talent.

Thomas once again ran a pick-and-roll with Bird.

This time, the Lakers pinched him decisively.

The target they emptied was Maxwell, who received a pass from Thomas to score at the basket, but was affected by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s help.

However, Abdul-Jabbar's defense was a success, and the defensive rebound fell into Sampson's hands.

The 7-foot-4 Sampson got the ball in the restricted area, had a chance but wasn't content with 2 points, and gave the ball to John Long in the corner.

Magic, who was supposed to be facing off against Lang, had already run to the basket in order to protect the rebound.

In this way, the Celtics' most accurate three-pointer, in the case of no defense, shot.

67 to 50

According to the normal rhythm of the game, at this stage, the Lakers should call a timeout and start over.

But Riley didn't call a timeout, he decided to hold on.

There is already a difference of 17 points. If the next goal can be scored, it can be reduced to 15 points. Although the idea is very good, Magic is empty from a distance, McAdoo stands at the free throw line, and Kareem is in a low position.

The Magician didn't have the confidence to hit a long shot, so he gave up the chance to stop the decline to the most consistent two-pointer in history.

The moment Abdul-Jabbar raised his long arm to catch the ball, Maxwell, who was facing McAdoo, attacked.

Abdul-Jabbar passed the ball to McAdoo, and before McAdoo shot, Bird's defense arrived.

McAdoo's low offensive IQ and selfish side were exposed under Bird's trash talk.

"McCarton, you can't do anything under my defense!"

Bird spat out trash talk confidently, like stepping on McAdoo's tail.

What he hated the most in his life was this nickname. Hearing Bird say it himself, he wanted to eat birdie with the ball.

No matter what, Bird has been selected for the second defense for three consecutive years. It is a misunderstanding in thinking that a white forward who is tall, slow and can't jump high is regarded as an offensive loophole that can be asked for anything.

McAdoo didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. Under the strong attack, he was blocked by Bird and embarrassed to collect the ball.

He stopped the ball in a bad spot, and Thomas didn't expect him to find a good shot in that situation.

Immediately, he pushed Johnson aside, ran to McAdoo's side, and slammed the ball with his hands. His action was very sinister. If he didn't get the ball, it was a high probability that his paw would hit McAdoo's second child.

In an unexpected turn of events, Thomas knocked the ball off his hand and 3/5 of his fingers hit McAdoo's dick.

McAdoo is not a good man and a woman. For a moment, he behaved like the Fire Cloud Evil God who was smashed by A Xing with a log.

There are several aspects to his anger. He played for Boston, but the city never respected him and dismissed him like a tumor; Bird's trash talk; Thomas' needless aggression.

The most dazzling scene happened when three of the Celtics countered with McAdoo's miss.

Four Lakers chased after them.

Only McAdoo stayed in the backcourt, and he ran to Thomas for revenge.

Before he could do it, Bird rushed over to stand between him and Thomas, keeping the situation from escalating. The referee arrived just in time, and McAdoo's rage turned into a vulgar swearing.

The four Lakers who returned to defense failed to complete the defense, and the Celtics took advantage of the situation to expand the point difference to 19 points.

This may or may not be a pivotal moment.

Pat Riley only asked for a time-out, and he glared at Louie.

Louie's greatest ability is to make his opponents mistakenly believe that he instigated the chaos on the field, but he is not a person who advocates violence.

As a result, when the players under him cause trouble, the coaches of the other side will think of him immediately.

It is not the first time that the Celtics have a big lead, but they have clashed with their opponents when they have not secured the victory, disrupting the opponent's morale and hitting a wave of climax to secure the victory~www.novelmt.com~ I think, the heart of the Lakers It's already messed up. "

"They're not ready to play Celtic at this intensity. Celtic and their opponents tend to have their emotions at the right moment when they clash, and their opponents always lose their minds. "

"Provoking an opponent is a clever trick because human emotions are uncontrollable."

"How to make sure that you can irritate the opponent and not be affected, but also use the influence on the opponent to change the game is a profound topic. The Celtics are experts in this field because their coach, Little Lu, is the A genius who is good at provoking opponents, reducing the opponent's IQ to 0, and then using IQ to suppress opponents and carry out **** slaughter."

So you can't blame people for misunderstanding Louis. Even Tom Heinsohn, a famous Green Kai, believes that the Celtics' style of play is due to Louis. Can his opponent think that "Louis is innocent." , is the player really such a bastard"?

It's unreasonable to think.
