The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 263: I make them hate me (14/114)

After the game, the unwilling Lakers fans stayed on the scene and booed the Celtics.

They are mad!

Especially Nicholson, who was utterly disappointed and rude.

Louis sat on the bench enjoying himself, as if he didn't want to get up again.

When K.C. Jones approached him, Louie said, "Hold me, K.C."

"You're lazy!" K.C pulled him off the bench in disgust.

Louie stretched, and Sampson came up to him.

Tonight, he scored 36 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists and 7 blocks, a performance that can be recorded in history.

"Coach, thank you!"

Sampson hugged Louie hard, "I can't do it without you!"

"Ralph, can you stop this stinky sweat!"

"Have pity on my precious suit!"

"You are revenge!"

Louie was wiped with sweat, and Sampson walked away satisfied.

When Sampson finished venting his emotions and let Louie go, Louie's suit was also stained with this guy's foul body odor.

He is indeed a one-of-a-kind wizard, but this does not mean that his body odor can be exempted.

I can't say how much black people taste, and it's racial discrimination.

Louie walked up to Pat Riley embarrassedly, and the Lakers had gone to extremes to win today, and they almost did.

The third had Thomas and Bird, and the fourth was dominated by Sampson.

In fact, the Celtics' big three, namely combat power and maturity, are stronger than the Lakers' star lineup.

Magic is limited by his own fragile mind, Kareem is too old, Wilkins is only a second year, and it is too difficult to count on him to change the game.

"Coach Lu, how did you do it?"

Riley couldn't understand that in the third quarter, the Celtics were shaky.

Then he put together a non-defensive two-star + three-shooter lineup.

In the fourth quarter, he chose a more extreme shot.

As a result, every time the Celtics were about to be washed away, their star stood up and bit the game.

Riley wanted to know the mystery.

Louis didn't know, knew and couldn't tell him.

He pretended to be mysterious: "You have to believe that there is a mysterious force in the Celtics team. From ancient times to the present, they have won everything, and they will never lose to the Lakers in the final."

Louis said jokingly: "This may be more effective than the "Curse of the Holy Child"①."

Riley was silent, and Louis thought he had nothing to say, and went to the reporter's seat.

"Coach Lu, what have you done to this team?" Riley asked.

Riley asked himself that his coaching ability is not lost to Louis. The difference in this game is not in the coaching staff, but in the on-the-spot performance of the players on both sides. By the time Sampson made four commits, the Celtics were about to collapse. Then, Louie let Thomas and Bird each bring a system to survive.

When Thomas and Bird rested, how could Sampson, who had four fouls, sustain the situation?

It's like two times in a row, you're praying to save yourself, and every prayer is answered.

The Celtics' Big Three all had their best performances in the finals.

Sampson is a World War I established the name of the league's first center.

If Louie is not convinced of the state of the players, if he is not grasping the mental state of this group of people, he will never use an extreme and outrageous way to stimulate their potential.

In the last half of the quarter, there was a great chemical reaction between the three Celtics who were in full state.

From there, it's impossible for the Lakers to win.

Riley's words, let Louie stop.

What has he done to this team? It's hard to say, he built a new system, made Bird get used to being called a hillbilly, beat Thomas every once in a while, and let Sampson rebound, defend, do blue-collar things with peace of mind... He really did a lot, but not One thing is flattering.

Louie is sure that no player is willing to carry out his orders, they do it because they know they will win.

"That's a good question, Coach Riley, and if reporters could ask such good questions, I wouldn't be so annoying."

Louie turned his head with a smile on his face, his eyes meeting Riley's.

They are the league's first- and second-youngest head coaches, respectively, a 14-year gap between them.

Unlike Louie, Riley has a lot of experience as a player. He was a teammate with Chamberlain, fought against Bill Russell in his later years, and was a teammate with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar who transferred to the Lakers at the end of his career. Now he is Abdul-Jabbar again. Coach...he has a lot of credentials, the Lakers have a ready-made system, he doesn't need to think too much to be successful.

His success came too easily, so he wondered what Louis, a self-made man with near-amateur basketball skills, had done to the Celtics to make this team unbeatable.

Louie's smile was as shallow as a smirk, and Riley's answer was heavy and surprising: "I made them hate me."

After all, he walked to the front of the reporter at the scene.

"Coach Lu, it was a great game, setting a new record for a single-game viewership in the NBA... Did you ever think this would be the result?"

Louis faced the reporter and replied lightly: "I won't say that I thought of this result in advance, that would be too arrogant, I can only say, I like this result. Last year, the Celtics lost in the Eastern Conference finals, we let all supporters were disappointed and it was a humiliating experience."

"You have to go through something when you're young to understand how sweet victory is."

"One of the things this world has taught us is that all efforts don't necessarily have results, but all wounds must have a meaning. The wound will heal, the pain will go away, but sooner or later you will remember what it was like. We decided Looking forward with this pain, we've come this far, and no team can stop us."

This night's media interview room was the biggest battle that Louis has experienced since he took office.

There is not a single empty seat in the access room.

The most influential media in the United States gathered here, and Louis sat beside the Big Three.

"Coach Lu, you once said that there will be six or even seven games in this series. Now you are leading 3-0. Do you still think that way?"

Louis did not expect to be so "slapped in the face".

He smiled wryly: "I will expect the worst in anything I do, so yes, the Lakers are a respectable opponent, and we will never take chances."

After that, there's nothing to do with Louis.

The media is snobbish, and players are more valuable for interviews.

The Celtics Big Three all made key performances today, with Sampson the most dazzling, Bird and Thomas in no particular order.

Bird is still the player who gets the most questions. As for those big media who want to interview Sampson, Thomas, as always, is the one that is ignored.

The media asked Bird about seven questions in a row.

Louie kicked Bird with his foot under the table, reminding him not to be too rude.

Bird gave Louis a stern look, showed his dissatisfaction on his face, and said to the reporter: "Do you have nothing to ask Isaiah? He also played well, don't make it seem like I won the game alone ."

Byrd's words diverted reporters' attention.

The reporters gradually discovered the marginalized Thomas. After checking the information, they found that Thomas scored 24 points, 4 rebounds and 9 assists tonight. This performance should not be ignored in any case.

Thomas enjoys being bombarded with questions from reporters, and it won't be long before he gets tired of it.

The Los Angeles media asked uneasily and kindly: "Would you mind being called 'the man in Larry's shadow'?"

"I don't mind because it's so wrong," Thomas laughed bitterly. "I do live in someone else's shadow, but not Larry. Larry lives in someone else's shadow, and so does Ralph, Kay. All the Celtic players live in the shadow of that man."

The media asked: "Who is that person? Reed Auerbach?"

"No, it's our coach." Thomas said amazingly, "In front of you, he's the best man in the world, and behind closed doors it's different. I've met many coaches, and he's the most special, He rules this team and guides us on the right path. We all hated what he did, but we all wanted to follow his lead, his shadow hung over the team, but he made us He's come out of the shadow of last season's loss and he's reinvented the team."

Thomas said vehemently: "He's what makes us special, but you're only paying attention to a few of us and not seeing him at all. I have to say, I'm disappointed by your ability to observe. You watch every day. Focusing on us, focusing only on the trivial stupid things, and ignoring the most important things.”

Thomas' words are likely to arouse disgust in the media, and he has since become an insulator for reporters like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. His words shocked not only the reporters, but also his teammates and coaches.

Louie's jaw was about to fall, and even if he plucked Bird's hair and found him to be a harpy, he wouldn't believe Thomas could say those words.

Could it be that he didn't torture Thomas enough to give this guy a whole lot of pleasure?

"Coach Lu, how did you transform this team?"

Questions from ESPN reporters.

Louie glanced at Thomas~www.novelmt.com~ Suddenly, this guy's smile and shallow dimples were not so annoying.

All right...

Louie smiled and replied, "I made them hate me."

(1) In 1918, after the Red Sox won the MLB championship for the last time in the last century, the team was bought by a New Yorker named Harry Fratz, who, in order to meet the needs of business and pleasure, paid $125,000. Sold the greatest club in Red Sox history, Babe Ruth, nicknamed "The Holy Child," to the New York Yankees. Ruth was the most outstanding player in the league at the time. He made great contributions to the Red Sox's championship victory. He was a beloved city hero in Boston. Ruth also vowed to end his career here. It is conceivable how much shock he was sold off - the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees are recognized enemies, and they are still mortal feuds that have been passed down for centuries. Fratz sent their greatest hero to the enemy. , set the city on fire. A furious Ruth said angrily to the fans who didn't know the inside story before leaving: "I never thought to leave Boston, but the owners... put all the blame on me, if I have to bear the reputation of a traitor, then the red The Sox pays the price of never winning a championship."
