The rest is just noise

“Ben Wallace’s amazing move shocked the entire audience!”

"Poor Tyrese Knight, he received the hardest lesson at the happiest moment of his life!"

Costas used his voice to stir up the fans' emotions, while Laimbeer lamented that the Celtics had no successor: "Tyrese is too young, he is not ready, the question is, why did the Celtics want to

Let players who are not ready to play in the future? At his age, he should have accumulated a lot of experience on the bench, but..."

Laimbeer kept talking, and then began to criticize the Celtics management for their poor performance.

You said you couldn't draft good players because you didn't have good picks, but is the pick really a problem? What was Laimbeer's pick that year?

Laimbeer's words do make sense, but any team that gradually improves and rises steadily must be a team that succeeds in the draft.

The Celtics relied on the management's operation to bring in two stars to regroup. From this point of view, they have done their best.

Managers with both skills in trading and drafting are always rare to find.

Moreover, the draft itself has a metaphysical component, and there are too many managements who are wise at times and confused at other times.

The Lakers are the opposite of Laimbeer's critical remarks.

The Celtics only had one rookie, Knight, before Laimbeer called him for a few minutes. The Lakers had three rookies, and they all performed well.

Especially Ben. He was drafted lower than Knight. How could he play well?

Then everyone will discover one thing: Which team does Louis belong to, and which team's draft pick is the best?

This is just a small episode. Laimbeer was able to have time to deal with the Celtics management, thanks to Knight being unable to lie down for a long time after landing.

Finally, Knight was put on a stretcher and carried away from the game.

Daley felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

It's not that they don't have any insiders off the court, it's just that they don't meet his requirements like Knight does.

But now that Knight is injured, he must be replaced, or he must be replaced if he doesn't. Otherwise, will Sampson have to give up this great opportunity to rest and go on the court to play hard?

After much thought, Dailis decided to replace a player he didn't like, Dino Radja C/PF from Croatia.

Future fans looking at Dino's numbers will be surprised by a few things.

How could a player who averaged 16 points and 8 rebounds per game in the NBA for four consecutive years and shot nearly 50% from the field suddenly disappear from the NBA?

First of all, he plays for a bad team, so his data is naturally watery. Secondly, although his offensive ability is good, he can hardly bring anything except offense.

In the end, he was dissatisfied with the United States and suffered from homesickness. He came quietly and left quietly. Apart from praising his national team teammate (Petrovich) as if he was having a hyperthyroidism attack, there was nothing impressive about him.

The place.

For Daly, he doesn't need Dino's offense, he needs defense.

Knight's offense is far inferior to Dino's, but his defense is much better.

Therefore, Knight's appearance order was above Dino.

Now that Daly was unavailable, Dino was stepped up, and he quickly "proved" himself on the defensive end.

Garnett was setting a pick-and-roll for Kobe, and Dino neither chose to switch defenses nor go out to cover, nor did he block the breakthrough route. He just stood there in a daze.

Kobe passed the ball to Garnett, and Dino reacted, but it was too late.

Garnett caught the ball and shot directly to score.

26 to 30

In less than two minutes, the lead that the Celtics' starters had worked so hard to build was about to be wiped out.

And Dino also showed his offensive ability.

Since he is allowed to play, he will naturally take the lead on the offensive end.

Dino took the ball and was not timid when facing Garnett. He used his steps to create space, then turned around and stepped back to score.

He feels like Luis Scola at the No. 5 position.

His physical condition is better than Scola's, but his offensive end is not as smart as Scola's. Then, just like Scola, he has nothing but offense.

As long as a player like this has the right mentality, there will be no problem playing in the NBA for ten years.

At least it's functional enough and can be used in the finals.

However, defensive loopholes will inevitably be targeted. As a fifth position, he was originally responsible for wiping the defensive loopholes in other positions. Suddenly, he became a loophole that needed others to help him clean it. This put great pressure on the defensive end.

It's not that big.

"Steve!" Louis called Nash and pointed directly at Dino Raja, "Don't miss such a good prey!"

Now, Louis no longer regards these guys as fledglings. At least tonight, they are playing much better than the old bastards on the bench.

Since they perform well, the requirements for them must be increased.

Nash received Louis' instructions, took a deep breath after coming to the frontcourt, and showed a surprising tactical gesture.

"Roll roll call?"

Garnett was surprised and ran up to pick and roll.

Dino is very fast as an inside post, so he doesn't mind coming to the high post to defend. However, although he has speed, he has not developed good defensive habits.

Therefore, even a player who lacks explosive power like Nash can find a gap and then move forward like a poisonous snake attacking its prey.

Dino, who never disappoints the Celtics coaching staff on the defensive end, also played his part this time.

Nash passed him like crossing the street in the early morning and scored a two-step pull-up jumper inside the free throw line.

"Beautiful!" Louis turned around happily, "This is the player I want. Some bastards who are ahead and can't play better reflect on it. Even a rookie like Steve can play freely on the court.

What other excuses can you make?"

The young people on the field became more and more energetic and began to encourage each other.

Kobe, who had long been unhappy with Barros, took advantage of Nash's hot-headedness and encouraged him: "I don't think DB is better than you. You are more suitable to be a starter than him!"

You want me to start because I'll pass the ball to you, right?

Nash saw through it but didn't say it. No matter what Kobe's selfishness was, he really wanted to be a starter. It's not that he didn't have the strength. The highest-level Cavaliers in the Lakers team had already entered, and he still couldn't make a starter?

An old bastard like Barros who usually looks at people with his nose, why wasn't he selected into the Knights?

The passion and arrogance of young people only last for a moment.

Subsequently, for the Celtics, Hill continued to play steadily and scored consecutive singles, but it was difficult for the Celtics to gain the advantage again.

The problem of the Celtics' poor lineup was put on the table. The Lakers put up a lineup dominated by young people. Strictly speaking, it doesn't even count as the second lineup. Even if those people are talented, it's not yet time to realize them.

, if it were an ordinary finals team, they would have been defeated by their reliable second lineup.

This is the biggest problem for the Celtics. Their lineup depth is very average, so when they broke out from the Eastern Conference, they both had a hard time facing the Heat and Knicks, who had sharp internal conflicts.

What's happening now is the worst case scenario.

Louis' performance was not sanctioned, and it also gave the young people in the team a sense of confidence.

After four and a half minutes, the Celtics' second team not only failed to expand their advantage, but were even trailed by 3 points.

38 to 35

The Celtics took the initiative to request a timeout.

"Depending on the situation, they should be preparing to let Ralph and the others play." Nelson said, "Are we going to change the formation?"

"Let Benj replace JD."

"Then what?"

Louis smiled and said: "That's it."

"That's it?" Nelson thought he heard wrongly.

The Celtics are going to switch back to their entire lineup. Even if the Lakers don't switch back to their main lineup, they still have to let Dumars play the one position, let Kobe return to the two position, and let Wilson play the three position, right?

"It's not that I look down on Boston, I just think that our young people are playing very well and there is no need to replace them. And it's not like you haven't seen the previous state of those old guys. We have such a good momentum now, which is why we can keep our momentum."

When the momentum moves forward!" Louis decided, "That's it, it won't be too late to change it if it doesn't work anymore!"

When the Lakers players off the court learned that only Wilson had been substituted, they also knew that this was a deliberate arrangement by the coaching staff.

Barros remembered that before the finals, the coaching staff planned to let Nash start. Now it seems that if he plays a few more bad games, this may really come true.

When he thought of this, Barros couldn't help but stand up and walk towards Louis: "Coach, I have reflected on it, let me play, I will definitely..."

"When I want you to play, I will naturally replace you. Now, sit back and don't let Steve think that I am going to replace him. Look at these young people, how reliable they are. They are nothing like you."

If you're ahead by a big score, you won't play ball."

Louis was about to curse again, but Barros returned to his original position.

Buckley looked at everyone with a smile. Barros' reaction seemed funny to him, but Liu Yuqing's reaction was abnormal.

"Jiang Duo, aren't you worried that high school boys will steal your starting spot?"

"I'm not worried."

Liu Yuqing said it calmly.

"Why?"

Liu Yuqing did not answer.

Because Kobe is still very immature, as long as he plays well, he will get into trouble. Once he gets over, he will naturally become a monster.

There is nothing to worry about.
