The rest is just noise

In the second half, Louis saw the Bucks' formation changes.

To Louis' surprise, Don Nelson actually replaced Alton List, and the player he replaced was a player unfamiliar to Louis and his assistants.

Lister was replaced by a man named Paul Mokeski C.

This person has only been in the league for four seasons but has already changed four teams. He is an out-and-out bum, and his statistics do not show anything outstanding.

Average scoring, average rebounds, average assists, average field goal percentage and average free throw percentage.

Even, Louis can say that his shooting percentage is not just average, but terrible.

As a center, his average shooting percentage in the past three seasons is only 42%.

Then there is his appearance. The first impression gives people that he does not look like an NBA player. He looks exactly like the dad in various American sitcoms.

With his anxious hairline, big face filled with fat, small eyes, and mustache, he looks more like a truck driver than an NBA player.

"What is it about this guy?" Louis asked Rudy Tomjanovich.

Tomjanovich flipped through his notebook and said tangledly: "This person averaged less than 1 minute per game in the previous games, so..."

"So what?"

"We have no detailed records of his characteristics..."

"Hell!" Louis was furious, "Rudy, you are the only scout with the team, you must do a good job of intelligence work for everyone!"

In the second half, the Bucks took the lead in attacking.

The key reason why the Celtics' zone defense can maintain such power is that the Bucks don't have many pick-and-roll offenses involving the inside and the ball handler.

This greatly reduced Sampson's scope of activities.

It seems that they are not planning to use the pick-and-roll yet, or is the pick-and-roll not an important part of the Bucks' offensive system?

Bob Lanier is a center who can shoot from the high post. If he is the only one who can shoot, Louis doesn't care, as long as Laimbeer and other insiders not named Sampson follow him.

Louis believed that Nelson would never substitute Liszt for no reason. Moschi, who looked like a truck driver, definitely had some strengths that he and his assistants could not have imagined.

Suddenly, Louis saw Lanier and Moskey running to high positions.

Sampson didn't go out, and Moskey caught the ball and shot from the high post.

"Whoosh!"

55 to 68

On the offensive end, the Celtics performed without problems.

Moskey gives the Bucks five players on the court a shooting threat, but his defense is much worse than List.

Nelson asked Marquis Johnson to guard Bird, while Lanier was ready to double attack at any time.

In order to strangle Bird, the Bucks have tried many methods.

Double attack is the most risky, the Celtics do not have the concept of point forward, but Bird's passing ability in the low post and ability to see and seize opportunities far surpass Johnson, who was carefully cultivated by Nelson.

Lanier soon paid the price for his sloppy attack.

Bird's ball passed to Laimbeer on the weak side.

Laimbeer hit a jumper directly on the spot.

"I have to say, Larry was in really hot shape tonight!" Bill Russell praised Bird highly, "The Bucks can't solve this point of his offense at all."

People have to think of Bird's previous state.

He is one of the few players on the Celtics team who did not regard the series as an opportunity to drive away Fitch, and played every game with all his strength, but Fitch did not correctly understand Bird's value like Louis.

Letting Bird be the end point is like letting Curry blindly play without the ball and use his off-ball containment and historical level running ability to liberate his teammates. The idea is not wrong and the logic makes sense, but only the performance

Curry's off-ball threat does not maximize his power.

This is a misfortune that is difficult for all-round players to get rid of, because they know too much. If they are placed in a position that is not the most beneficial to them, but can benefit others, and they happen to be willing to contribute to the team, the main

The coach will look embarrassed but secretly happy to ask them to make the sacrifice.

Louis is not a fool, he knows who the big daddy is.

Bird has been in good form in the past few games, but Fitch didn't make good use of him. Instead, he struggled with players who didn't cooperate with him. The players spontaneously failed without getting out of class.

On the offensive end, the Bucks intend to let Moskey play a role.

Sampson maintained his posture of not leaving the hole, and Moskey caught the ball again, adjusted, and shot.

His shooting is very soft and smooth. How can such a silky touch have such a bad shooting rate?

A few rounds passed, and Moski hit 3 out of 4.

Sampson once asked Louis if he should go out and disturb Moschi, but Louis didn't agree.

After watching Moskey's shooting for four rounds, Louis noticed that he was a rhythm shooter.

This rhythm is not the rhythm of the game, but the rhythm of his shots.

If no one is guarding him and giving him enough time to shoot at the right pace, his shooting percentage will be very high.

Louis thought of another person - Space Yi, the big brother who struggled to support the Chinese national team in the 2010s.

He is also a rhythm shooter. Especially in the NBA, he has a high shooting rate in open spaces without being guarded. Once someone comes to interfere, his accuracy will plummet.

When Bird rarely missed in the low post, the Bucks counterattacked and narrowed the point difference to 10 points.

Louis called a timeout.

"Our defensive strategy remains roughly the same, but if No. 44 (Mosky) gets the ball in the high post again, I will ask the people closest to him to interfere with his shooting. Remember, it is interference, you do not need to block shots.

As long as his shooting puts pressure on his shooting, it will be successful."

Then, Louis announced that the low-post offensive system with Bird as the core came to an end for the time being.

"You may not like it, but we now need Coach Fitch's high-post offensive system to increase high-post pick-and-rolls and screens, Isiah!" Louis shouted, and Thomas cheered up.

Louis designed the offense in the two corner positions: "I think you are already exhausted. From now on, I will give you the right to fire. In the high position, you will often pick and roll with Larry; if Larry bounces to the top of the arc, the Bucks will definitely

When you are flanked, you have to choose the opportunity. It is up to you to attack yourself or pass the ball to Larry; if Larry bounces to the bottom corner, you must pass the ball, because that is Larry's sweet spot; if Larry originally

No matter what, you also have to pay attention to the Bucks' defensive rotation - in short, you and Larry are the key to the success or failure of the offense. I need you to cooperate with each other and play a good offense!"

"Why not let Larry continue the attack just now?" K.C wondered, "The Bucks have nothing to do about it."

Louis smiled and said: "Don't look at the country bumpkin saying nothing, he is also a human being, and he will get tired."

K.C then remembered that Bird had dominated almost 95% of the ball distribution since the start.

If you are not physically strong, you may be exhausted by now.

Bird's ability to persist does not mean that he is not tired.

Louis believes that the combination of Thomas and Bird is still unmatchable for the Bucks on defense.

The entire game was out of Nelson's control.

They had no choice but to use offense to decide the outcome with the Celtics.

Throughout the third quarter, Thomas worked hard from beginning to end. Although Nelson saw that his shooting was not good, he asked the players to go around the screen. However, the Bucks' starting point guard did not have a true point guard and could not keep up with Thomas' speed. Even if he went around the screen,

He could only struggle but could not restrict Thomas from breaking through.

Using Bird as a pick-and-roller unleashes his offensive creativity.

The more Louis looked at Bird, the more terrifying he became. Dirk's offensive ability at his peak, Jokic's support, a god's hand that could do everything, Ginobili's enchanting golf IQ and unpredictable creativity, as well as

There is a series of heart-wrenching trash talk stemming from fragile and sensitive self-esteem in the countryside.

Bird won't disappoint at anything but guarding athletic forwards.

In the third quarter, Nelson requested timeouts twice, but neither changed the team's predicament.

Entering the fourth quarter, the Celtics' lead reached 21 points with Bird's three-pointer.

From then on, the suspense of the game disappeared.
