The rest is just noise

Chapter 1153 He, a rookie, actually talked back to me, an old comrade in his thirties.

The season is long, and the Lakers' loss in the opening game was quickly overshadowed by other news.

Two days later, the Lakers hosted their second guest of the season, the Denver Nuggets.

The Nuggets can be said to be Kidd's one-man team.

Although Kidd is not the kind of big core who relies on personal offense and defense to improve the team's strength, as the brains of the team, he can always make the right decisions to benefit the team.

At this time, Kidd was still a little green and not as calm as Louis remembered.

If the game doesn't go according to his vision, if his teammates make mistakes that they shouldn't, he will be very angry.

The Nuggets are a strong team at the playoff level, but they can only reach the semifinals at most. The intensity of the game cannot be compared with the Knicks two days ago.

The Lakers played with ease and led by 14 points at the end of the first three quarters.

Wilson almost dominated the game.

He scored 35 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists in three quarters. If Louis had allowed him to let go, he would have easily scored 50 points in the game.

Today is an era where only super teams can hope to compete for the championship. It is difficult for those superstars to have the opportunity to improve their statistics, but Wilson happens to be the leader of the rebuilding team.

This season will be the closest he comes to the scoring title.

But for Louis and Wilson, the scoring title is just an illusory title with little value.

The lead established in the first three quarters was set up to test the "Meteor" again in the fourth quarter.

In the final quarter, Louis sent out this lineup: Wilson, Liu Yuqing, Ellis, Tragedyman, and Garnett.

There is no pure point guard or pure center, but these five people are the five in the team who have the best understanding of "Meteor".

When people in Denver saw the "shooting star" for the first time, their faces were filled with horror.

Kidd was witnessing something he had never seen before.

Wilson is the core player responsible for launching the "Meteor" tonight.

Under his guidance, "Meteor" was successfully deployed.

Unlike those failed demonstrations against the Knicks that were only half successful, tonight, the Lakers succeeded the first time.

The movement of Liu Yuqing and Ellis, Garnett's cutting inside and the dexterity of the Tragedyman's passing at the first touch of the ball made the "Meteor" bloom on the professional basketball court for the first time.

"Whoosh!"

In the end, the success of "Meteor" created an opportunity for Garnett to hit a layup. He did not hesitate and put the ball in easily.

"Edit this round from the videotape, I want to watch it every day!"

Louis said excitedly.

Zhao Yuanzheng responded loudly, but the Nuggets made a mistake as if they were stunned by a "meteor".

Here comes the Lakers' opportunity to counterattack.

Garnett's straight-line speed is so fast that the tragedy maker has to increase the power of passing the ball.

Then it’s time for Tan Hwa Lang to show off his talent.

Garnett took the forum audience back to the ShowTime era with a gliding tomahawk dunk across the paint.

"!￥%"

Garnett is the kind of player who becomes more energetic and unable to control his emotions the longer the game lasts.

Bird said: "He is now a qualified starter."

"This is talent." Nelson sighed. "There is a reason why Louis selected him with the No. 3 pick."

In the next few minutes, the Lakers used the "shooting star" tactic many times, but they were never as good as the first time.

Even the five members of the team who were best suited to play "Meteor" made many mistakes.

Wilson would break too deep and find no one to pass to;

The tragedy master misjudged the tactical path and made a mistake;

Ellis and Liu Yuqing's movements overlap;

Garnett's mistake made Louis' blood pressure rise. He clearly saw the opportunity for his teammates and wanted to show off his skills. He used changes of direction to dazzle people, and he collected the ball like a small forward and suddenly stopped and leaned back.

The moment he took the shot, Louis prayed that the shot would miss.

Whenever Garnett misses a shot, he will start complaining.

As a result, Garnett made the shot.

At this time, it was not appropriate for Louis to spray anymore.

But someone will do it for him.

Wilson shouted with a ferocious expression: "Molly, what the hell are you trying to do? Are you still using tactics?"

"Ben, I made it!"

"I don't care if it's a fucking investment, you can't just think about yourself!"

"I was wrong!"

"You are so wrong!"

Bird asked Zhao Yuanzheng: "Is Benjamin like this in New York?"

Zhao Yuanzheng nodded and said: "Yes, Benj is the leader on the field, and Patrick is the leader off the field."

"That's why those two don't get along," Bird thought to himself.

With Wilson watching Garnett, Louis' burden is much lighter.

Wilson was more responsible than he had been in New York.

Or, this is his nature that has been suppressed for a long time.

In New York, he had to consider Ewing's feelings in everything he did. He often insisted on moderation, so he seemed like Mr. Perfect.

When he came to Los Angeles, he no longer had to worry about this and only thought about how to lead the team.

Many of Garnett's bad habits are unacceptable to him.

It is a pity that the Lakers did not play the perfect "shooting star" strategy before the end of the game.

In the fourth quarter, the "Meteor" tactic was launched 7 times, with 3 turnovers and 4 plays. Only 1 was perfect. But even if there were 3 mistakes and 3 wrong tactics, those 4 plays were completed.

The "Meteor" tactic still brought them 3 goals.

This is the benefit of multi-threaded attack.

Although it is complicated and difficult to understand, even if one path is messed up, the other paths are still useful.

The attempt at the "Meteor" tactic also created some suspense in the fourth quarter.

All three mistakes were caught by Kidd, allowing the Nuggets to complete three beautiful counterattacks, and the point difference was once narrowed to 5 points.

As a result, Louis called a timeout and arranged for Wilson to call singles.

Within one minute, the Lakers launched a 9-0 offensive climax from the Nuggets, and the suspense of the game disappeared.

In the whole game, the Lakers beat the Nuggets 116 to 104.

Wilson's performance was outstanding. He played 36 minutes and scored 45 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists. He is not only the league's scoring leader, but also leads the team's rebounding and assist rankings with 10 rebounds and 8 assists per game.

"This victory means we still have 80 games to play." Wilson calmly accepted the interview, "Winning is good, but you should forget about it after you sleep. This is just one of the 82 regular season games.

That’s all.”

In the locker room, Louis took a minute to give his speech: "This is a memorable game. We succeeded for the first time using the 'shooting star' tactic. But unfortunately, that was also the only time we used the 'shooting star' tactic tonight.

Successfully let the shooting star fall to the ground. Let me emphasize one point here, I can accept you making mistakes in the process of running tactics and executing tactics, but I cannot accept someone's obsession with ball possession causing the entire tactic to be interrupted."

"Congratulations on winning the first game of the season, but don't celebrate, have a good rest, and don't forget that we will play four away games in a row."

After Louis walked out of the locker room, the tragedy maker said with a smile: "The coach said that it is unacceptable for someone to be obsessed with the ball. Who is he talking about?"

Garnett immediately jumped out and said: "Ervin, you held the ball too long. The coach is talking about you!"

"You, a rookie, are talking nonsense, the coach is obviously talking about you!"

"Dude, I haven't touched the ball a few times in the whole game. If you don't believe me, ask Coach Zhao. I am the person who touches the ball the shortest time in the team!"

"Well, you damn rookie, you don't admit your mistakes and you frame me, an old comrade who has never made things difficult for you newcomers!"

Liu Yuqing ended the debate between Garnett and the tragedy master with one sentence.

"I don't know who the coach is talking about." Liu Yuqing glanced at Garnett, "But I know Benj was furious because of who didn't pass the ball tonight."

"Jiang Duo, that was an accident!"

"How come there are so many accidents?" Ellis and the Tragedian formed a doubles team, "You are the one who causes the most fucking trouble. You take a ball and throw it blindly. If Benj doesn't criticize you, who will?"

"Then I've scored, haven't I?"

"So what if it goes in?"

"If you put it in, you put it in..."

Wilson has long since stopped being angry.

Seeing Garnett's tough words, he kindly reminded him: "You should be lucky that you scored, otherwise the person who scolded you would have been the coach."

The old players educated the ignorant Tan Hwa Lang, while Louis assigned tasks to the assistant coaches outside the locker room.

"Old Tang, you go back and review the first three quarters tonight to see what we can do better."

"Rick, you go back and review Jasmine's performance in the fourth quarter."

"Mike, go back and review Dell's performance in the fourth quarter."

"Expedition, when you go back, record every mistake we made in the fourth quarter."

"what about me?"

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar hopes he can play some extra role.

Louis smiled and said: "Go back and have a good sleep."

"You don't need me to review it?"

"There are already a lot of people who want to review the game, and if you add you to it, it will be a bit of a waste."

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was silent for a few seconds, and Louis thought he was unhappy.

"Indeed, I have a greater use."

The NBA's all-time scoring leader said arrogantly.

Finally, Louis looked at Bird: "Go back and review Jasmine's performance throughout the game, remember all the mistakes he made on the court, and train him well tomorrow!"

Some people may ask, if the tasks are given to the assistant coach, what does Louis do?

What else can you do? Of course you have to go home and sleep. It’s enough to review the game once in a while. Otherwise, why would you hire so many assistant coaches?

After assigning tasks to the assistant coaches, Louis decided to squat outside the locker room and attend the press conference with a predestined friend.

The first person to come out of the dressing room was the Tragedian.

Louis said happily: "Erwin, come with me!"

"Coach, you really need to educate that rookie. It's so outrageous. He actually..."

The comedian gave a five-minute briefing on Garnett.

Louis just nodded: "I know, you see how I deal with him tomorrow."
