The Rest, Only Noise

No matter how you look at it, the gap between the Celtics and the 76ers is small.

In the first game, the final gap between the two sides was only 2 points.

In Game 2, Bill Fitch decided to follow through with his "high post attack system".

This system relies heavily on high post pick-and-rolls inside, but unfortunately, neither Cowens nor Maxwell are good pick-and-rollers. The Celtics' best pick-and-roll Laimbeer was put off the court by Fitch.

What makes Louis most helpless is that the "high-position offensive system" can theoretically maximize Bird's ability, but in fact Bird's ability has not been fully released.

Because Fitch never saw Bird as a "point forward."

In Fitch's view, Bird's speed is a bit slow. He can hold the ball but slowly, which is not conducive to the spread of the offensive rhythm. It is better to use his diversity to embellish the tactical system. After all, he can grab rebounds and transition the ball. , can dominate the ball, can support, can run the shot, but also defend the opponent's inside... He has too many uses.

Bird can do everything like James, and Fitch just needs him to focus on offense and rebounding.

Also, he was given a sort of status in the system similar to Jordan and Kobe. As a finisher rather than a basketball master.

Today Louie is much more honest than before. He listened to Fitch's instructions and recorded data off the court instead of participating in the game.

Bird has done everything he can. As a rookie, he was placed at the No. 3 position and the hottest superstar in the league, Dr. J, played against him all the way. He played 47 minutes and scored 22 points, 21 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals.

Given that Fitch didn't give him the tactical status he deserved, could he be asked to do more?

His value on the field has clearly surpassed Dr. J.

In a frantic slow-paced game, the 76ers felt like a duck to water.

Their inside line played a huge advantage, and this battle was more sobering than Game1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

The weak inside Celtics, after Bird's hands that seemed to be kissed by God grabbed 21 rebounds, the team's rebounds exceeded the 76ers by 11.

However, the performance of "L Train" and Cheeks combined to score 40 points is an unbearable burden for the Celtics.

The efficient interior offense of Dawkins and Caldwell Jones once again allowed the 76ers to have a higher offensive efficiency and end the game with another 2-point victory, 99-97.

After winning two games in a row at the Boston Garden, Dr. J, who was about to return home, declared triumphantly: "This is a 'people's victory'!"

The Graceful Doctors combined their victory with the people from as far away as Philadelphia, fully embodying the wonderful family relationship between the team and its fans.

Philly's momentum is unparalleled, and their goal is obviously not just to beat the Celtics.

"I can develop good tactics to make our offense more efficient, but I can't teach my players to defend."

In professional sports, it is a sensitive thing to publicly criticize your players in the media.

Most coaches practice keeping secrets in the locker room and digest them on their own.

Fitch enjoys dealing with the media and prefers to further the pressure by blaming his players in front of the media.

It is difficult for Louis to approve of this move to make the contradictions within the team public, but there is nothing to say, who is the head coach?

But this defeat should have made Fitch realize that they must adjust their starting lineup.

Since he knows the Celtics' defensive quality is not good, he should follow his advice and put someone who can defend in the starting lineup.

"You look bloodless!"

Before Fitch, Auerbach had already rushed into the team's locker room and yelled at the players.

This kind of over-the-top behavior was common in the Tom Sanders era, but Fitch didn't want to see someone take his job.

"This is a game that insults everyone, you have to go to Philadelphia to win our dignity back!"

"Enough of Reed, now is not the time to say that." Fitch regained his locker room voice, "I am very dissatisfied with the defense of some of you, some of you are alive and well on offense, defensively time like a dead man."

He said this meanly, his eyes drifting to Pete Maravich: "Pete, what do you think?"

Maravich got 21 minutes today, but his offense was inefficient, going 5-for-12 from the field.

Fitch suddenly accused him of guilt, which is very mean to kill chickens and set an example. Everyone knows that Maravich is a great offensive player. Defense is always his weakness. Just feel.

Now he is accusing him of deficiencies on the defensive end, just like a lot of 76ers fans in the future are not happy with Embiid's unsteady shooting and the Simmons the Great didn't get a good penalty area space. It's a **** black question mark.

It's not that Fitch doesn't know enough about Maravich's abilities, he's completely finding fault. Because Auerbach interfered with his work, he had to find a way to get it back.

Maravich is just the unfortunate scapegoat.

The typical Maravich, who was taken out as a negative, was full of dissatisfaction, and the anger in his eyes almost set Fitch's suit on fire.

"Bill, if you need someone to defend, you should give more playing time to players who are good at defending." Auerbach has long been accustomed to "pointing" others, and never thought that he would undermine Fitch's authority by doing so.

Fitch said with a stern face: "I will find out the answer to this in the review meeting tomorrow, thank you for your suggestion."

The atmosphere in the locker room was very weird. Only a few coaches were talking, especially after Maravich was set up as a negative example, there were even fewer people talking, lest a wrong word would cause fire.

When Auerbach and Fitch both walked out of the locker room, Louie seemed happy to find Lambir grinning with his legs crossed.

"What's the Coke?" Louie asked.

"I always thought Bill wouldn't let me play because he didn't like me, but now I know that he didn't let me play because he loved me." Ranbir said harshly, "I don't want to somehow help others take the blame!"

Cowens scolded vulgarly, "He's a jerk!"

"Stop moaning like a bitch," Bird said sarcastically. "If you're impeccable, he'll find fault with others. You gave him a chance."

When several powerful personalities pump out negative energy at the same time, the locker room chemistry is over.

The most injured Maravich couldn't find any consolation here.

He was the first to leave the locker room.

Louis also packed up and left~www.novelmt.com~ He didn't want to touch their bad luck at this time.

The next day, at the Greek Academy, a group of people gathered around the future to watch yesterday's game in front of an old-fashioned, but now the latest technology VCD.

In Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals, **** CBS finally delayed the live broadcast of the Celtics and 76ers game.

The short-sightedness of the executives can be seen from their decision to delay the live broadcast.

Because this is definitely a series worth promoting.

Bird and Dr. J, two big names.

Although Bill Fitch is an old-fashioned diehard, he is very obsessed with using videotapes to review the game and find out the shortcomings. This coincides with Louis, but Auerbach is very disgusted with their approach.

Such a reliance on tools challenged Red Auerbach's old-fashioned instinct to read and understand the game in action.

To this end, Auerbach referred to Fitch and Louie as "Captain Video" and "Captain Little Video," respectively.

Louie respected Auerbach's achievements in the professional field, but when the league became highly professional and the process of commercialization was moving slowly and correctly, the old man seemed to be alive in the 50s and 60s, the The primitive era when one person served as general manager, coach, scout, trainer, everything.

Fitch's replays won't be as fun as Louie thinks, and he's always making replays stinky and long, emphasizing the mistakes players make.

It's tiresome.

Finally, he announced Game3's strategy amid the dismay of a crowd of players.

"In order to improve our defensive quality, we will change our starting lineup!"

Louie sighed, and finally Fitch took his advice.
