The rest is just noise

This scene was unacceptable to many Milwaukeeans.

They fully expected the Bucks to sweep the powerful Celtics 4-0 to create the biggest upset of the season.

Even the Celtics' championship coach Bill Fitch dismissed get out of class early. A 23-year-old rookie coach with no professional league experience was obviously angry. How could he change the result of being swept?

With only a few seconds left on the clock, 126 to 108, the Celtics handed the Bucks, who had never allowed their opponent to score more than 95 points in the playoffs, a humiliating defeat.

Losing is not unacceptable.

What is unacceptable is losing in this way.

The Bucks' defense was shattered, which is their foundation.

Nelson's concern is that the Celtics are likely to continue using tonight's strategy.

If they still can't figure out Louis' strategy next, let alone ending the series in five games, it is possible that they will reach the sixth or seventh game and be beaten to the pillar of shame by winning four games in a row.

Nelson walked over to Louis.

Louis is a layman in everyone's eyes, and many people have forgotten Auerbach's praise of him during the Celtics' championship celebration in 1981.

Looking now, that might not be a joke.

This young coach, dressed like a high school student, has a talent that Nelson has never seen before in the coaching profession.

"Why did Coach Fitch never coach with this strategy?"

Nelson was puzzled. Louis had been Fitch's assistant for three years, and even in the 1981 playoffs, he relied on Louis' strategies to rewrite the situation in the Eastern Conference finals. Why was Louis suddenly no longer used?

"Because Coach Fitch has more professional assistant coaches than me, I can't help." Louis said modestly.

The fact is that Fitch left with his professional assistant coaching team before the series was over.

Louis, a layman in the eyes of everyone, allowed the Celtics to break their winning streak in the semifinals and prevent them from being swept.

Nelson heard Louis' teasing and knew that there were some problems within the Celtics' coaching staff, so Louis was not reused.

"You won't have such luck in the next game." Nelson said seriously.

"I'm satisfied if I can win a game."

After speaking, Louis walked towards the CBS reporter who had been waiting for him for a long time.

In this campaign, Bird stole the show.

He scored 45 points, 15 rebounds and 9 assists. 45 points was his personal scoring high in the playoffs. His luxurious large-scale triple-double data fully demonstrated his dominance.

Isiah Thomas and Ralph Sampson also performed well.

Although Thomas was not the core of the tactics, the pick-and-roll attack with Bird in the second half gave Louis confidence in using these two to create another offensive system.

Sampson became the player with the greatest impact on the game tonight with 20 points, 11 rebounds and 5 blocks.

The reporter asked Sampson, "What's the difference between playing under Coach Lu and Coach Fitch?"

"I am the kite in Coach Fitch's hand," Sampson said vividly, "the eagle on Coach Lu's shoulder."

Sampson uses two clever metaphors to explain the difference between Fitch and Louie.

Fitch will catch the kite and control its flight path, while Louie allows players to use their talents and fly high like an eagle.

Louis brought Bird, Thomas and Sampson to the press conference.

Seeing these two guys next to Bird, Louis realized for the first time that he had completely changed the Celtics.

The Big Three are still the Big Three, but their potential, combat power, and ability to sustain development far exceed those of the original Three.

Since Louis was dressed like a high school student and looked very unserious, Bird also dressed casually and tried to be like Louis, while Thomas and Sampson paid more attention to dressing themselves up.

In the visiting team's media room, dozens of media outlets filled the small room.

"Coach Lu, first of all, congratulations on your victory."

"Thanks."

A reporter from the "Washington Post" asked: "What do you think is the difference between you and Coach Fitch?"

"Coach Fitch has rich experience and is a rare good coach, but I am a novice. There is a saying in China that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and I was very lucky tonight to 'beat the master to death with random punches.'"

Reporters were stunned by Louis' demonstration of ancient Chinese proverbs.

"What are you punching?"

"Another old Chinese saying goes, because novices have no rules when it comes to their moves, some experienced people will fall into misunderstandings and lose, so it's called beating the old master to death with random punches." Louis easily made the press conference unfold in a relaxed manner.

Then, Louis saw an acquaintance, Bob Ryan of the Boston Globe.

This person has always regarded himself as a supervisor of the NBA and likes to criticize the league's policies and team changes. He can be called the king of loudmouths of the generation before the Internet era.

"The Celtics are full of energy tonight. Obviously, you can play games like this a long time ago. Why did the Celtics always walk around the court dully in the previous games, but tonight they are full of energy?"

Ryan asked sharply.

"This is a bad question." Louis laughed jokingly, "Many people always despise coaching and think that coaches can consider all problems carefully, but this is not the case. We will also make mistakes and learn from our mistakes.

As for your opinion that our players are walking on the court stupidly, this is purely your subjective opinion. I cannot agree with it and firmly oppose it."

Ryan intentionally dug a hole for Louis and asked sensitive questions. He wanted to know if the Celtics intentionally gave up in the first few games to force Fitch to sack.

He even wanted to know why Louis didn't tell Fitch tonight's strategy and let him use this strategy to win.

Louis knew his plan, and he also knew Ryan's power in the Boston media world, so he couldn't give this person a chance to bite him, so he rudely refuted it and named the person.

The first five questions were all answered by Louis. After that, reporters started asking the players.

It was Bob Ryan again, asking Bird: "Larry, you've expressed your frustration with your teammates before, how do you feel tonight?"

Bird said relaxedly: "We have found ourselves again, and I couldn't be more satisfied."

And then there's Bird, the New York Post from New York.

They asked, "Larry, you single-handedly took down the Bucks tonight..."

When he emphasized "single-handed", Thomas and Sampson's expressions changed to varying degrees.

Bird is indeed the ruler of this game, but the performance of others is also indispensable.

Without Sampson's defense, the Celtics' defense against the Bucks would be incomplete and there would be a big gap;

Without Thomas holding the ball as the main attacker in the second half, and having Bird play in the low post for the whole game, he would be exhausted.

Louis found that more than 95% of the reporters at the scene were white, and people of color accounted for about 5%, but no one was black, and no one was interested in the performance of Thomas and Sampson.

When Billy "Crow" Vincent of the "Boston Globe" was about to ask Bird a question again, Louis couldn't help but interrupt: "Larry~Larry~Larry again...you guys let Larry

Come and have a drink, don’t forget there are four of us here.”

Vincent glared at Louis unhappily.

Then asked Thomas in an impatient tone: "How do you cooperate with Larry on the court?"

Louis was so angry that he wanted to overturn the table. He was obviously asking Thomas a question, but this damn crow brought up "Larry" again.

Larry is your dad!

Thomas was not in high spirits. He and Bird contributed a lot to the victory of Game 4, but reporters only knew Bird.

Even asking questions has something to do with Bird.

"This is what we do for a living. If you don't know how to cooperate when you hit the professional league, you should change your job." Thomas said in a sharp tone, but still smiled.

His smile could not buy him more opportunities to ask questions, because both he and Sampson were covered by Bird's presence.

The press conference lasted nearly 20 minutes, and Thomas and Sampson were like followers and no one cared.

After the press conference was over, they returned to the dressing room together.

There were people inside celebrating tonight's victory, that they had avoided the humiliation of being swept.

When Louis came to the door of the locker room, he motioned Bird to wait with his eyes.

After Thomas and Sampson entered, Bird asked: "What's going on?"

"It's not fair to Isiah and Ralph," Louis said.

Bird asked helplessly and mockingly: "What can I do? Dye my skin black and become the great hope of black people?"

"You know what the problem is. I'm not asking you to solve the color discrimination of reporters. I just want you to pay more attention to the feelings of your teammates."

"What's the meaning?"

"When a reporter praises you, you have to praise your teammates ten times; when a reporter praises your performance, you have to thank your teammates for their support; if someone makes a mistake and causes us to lose the game, you have to help him take responsibility; if because of your bravery, we

When you win a game, you also have to mention your teammates who are mediocre and let the media know their value."

Bird was silent for a few seconds, looking at Louis intently.

"I never play for fame, and I don't care about the outside world's evaluation."

"Damn country bumpkin, stop showing off your country sentiments to me here!" Louis blocked the doorway, "I don't give a damn if you care or not. I can't care less if you use a machine gun to line up and shoot those reporters, but

When they ignore your teammates and focus on you, you have to proactively correct their mistakes!"

After saying that, Louis turned around and opened the door of the dressing room.

The moment he entered the locker room, his angry expression turned into joy.

"I would give all of you 100 points for your performance!"

"Thank you for successfully saving my job!" Louis said as if he was done with it and walked away, "To be honest, I don't care if Game5 can win, because I have completed the goal that Reid gave me, and the rest is

It's up to you, whether you can defeat them again depends on whether you want to win."

M.L. Carr shouted arrogantly: "We are going to crush them at home!"
