The rest is just noise

Chapter 1366 The sound shocked the world, and there was silence for a long time

The sound shocked the world, but it was silent for a long time

Without Garnett and Tragedy, Barkley and Rodman can't play the normal high and low positions in the paint.

Although Rodman's support ability is good, the basis of the high and low post offense is that the two insiders have both independent offensive capabilities and support capabilities.

Rodman's independent offense is basically at the level of Draymond Green after 2019. It would be very awkward for him to pass the ball around and play high and low with Barkley.

Louis also saw the difficulty in this section and wondered if it was time to bring Garnett back.

What happened next made Louis change his mind.

Kobe Bryant plays the "Beautiful Basketball" tactical gesture on the weak side.

Nash was startled. He was not sure whether it was a good idea to play "beautiful basketball" without all the players.

But Kobe has always been a very independent person and has a domineering personality. Whatever he wants, Nash will usually just silently follow his opinions.

As a result, the "Meteor E" tactic initiated by Kobe ran away in the frontcourt.

Barkley and Dumars are both in a state of confusion.

They knew that this was not their tactic, so unless the other three gave instructions, the only thing to do was to stay where they were.

Rodman screened Nash, caught the ball, and used his body to help Kobe, who ran up the high post, provide a secondary screen.

After handing over the ball, Nash did not stay where he was, but moved around the post in a V-shape around Barkley's raised body.

"Bean!"

Nash yelled.

Kobe turned a deaf ear and fought inward, shrinking the Celtics' defense. Then he collected the ball with both hands, swung it acrobatically, and finally swung the ball to Nash on the outside with his left hand.

This is why Kobe has the nickname "Slut".

Nash caught the ball, stabilized his center of gravity, and took the shot smoothly.

"Whoosh!"

There is no reason to go astray in an attack that is not sloppy at all.

After this goal, 38 to 39, the Lakers were only 1 point behind the Celtics.

Chuck Daly was stunned.

He identified the Lakers' tactic, which was called the "shooting star" tactic.

Within the Celtics, they coded this shooting star tactic as "6".

However, according to the understanding of the Celtics coaching staff, this tactic, like other "Meteor" tactics, is driven by five people.

Nash's V-shaped movement around the ball to cover the ball is his signature feature. However, just now, only three people from the Lakers participated in the tactic.

In the end, the strategy still worked.

The Celtics have practiced this tactic many times, but they still can't handle it on the field.

This made Daley feel as if there was something blocked in his chest.

The Lakers' four substitute players played vigorously, which was a heavy blow to the Celtics.

The Celtics' desire to win is weakening, and their personal mood has turned from positive to negative.

After that, they chose to pass to the outside and shoot a three-pointer, but they missed the ball.

On the other hand, the Lakers are getting smoother and smoother.

Kobe and Rodman started the "Lone Star" strategy. The Celtics players felt familiar with this, but they didn't know how to deal with it.

When Kobe Bryant curled around the screen and cut out, Hill thought of something.

Kobe Bryant hit a three-pointer from the outside, and Hill had no time to rejoice. He saw Barkley jumping unreasonably in the crowd, violently grabbing the offensive rebound, and tipping the ball directly in the air.

Score, 40 to 39.

With 3 minutes and 22 seconds left in the second quarter, the Lakers finally took the lead.

The Celtics have absolutely no clue.

Once negative emotions accumulate, it will gradually develop into a feeling of despair.

Sampson knew how bad the situation was. Even though he was not strong enough, he still took the initiative to challenge Rodman alone.

Rodman faced off against Sampson and never aimed for defensive success.

He remembers how the Knicks beat the Celtics in 1988.

Putting aside the injuries of Bird and Thomas, at the last moment, the Celtics still had Sampson standing on the court. The only man who was still in his prime at the time was exhausted and had almost no influence on the game.

Consumption, that is the only way to deal with Sampson.

Moreover, Sampson is less able to withstand consumption now than it was nine years ago.

Sampson knew what Rodman was planning, but he couldn't achieve low consumption and high output without a second strong point on the court.

Without Malone, Sampson had to hit every ball hard.

Rodman pinned Sampson's lower limbs and allowed the opponent to invade the free throw line. He only used his torso to help the opponent without making unnecessary physical contact.

Sampson tried his best and finally got a chance to make a shot. He hit the ball head-on with a throw that no one could touch.

"Huh...huh..."

Sampson gasped and returned to defense.

41 to 40

The Celtics once again took the lead.

On the bench of the Lakers, Buck Williams said to Ben Wallace: "Did you see Dennis' defense just now? Watch it carefully and learn from it. You must be able to learn every move from Dennis to play in the league.

Ten years of ball will not be a problem!”

Ben himself is a short inside man, so he naturally knows how difficult it is to defend like Rodman by making reasonable use of the rules to provide confrontation, while ensuring that he does not lose his position, exhausting the opponent and not being called for a foul.

So he nodded his head in agreement.

"I've been studying Dennis' defense through game tape."

"What can you learn by watching the video? If you want to learn anything, just go to him and teach you! Don't be embarrassed!"

The players were chattering about Rodman's defense, but Louis felt that the efficiency of this lineup had reached its limit and it would not get better if it continued to play.

The "shooting star" tactics played by Nash, Kobe, and Rodman reminded Louis.

Dejan Bodiloga is here, and it's time to show him "Beautiful Basketball."

"Benj, Moji, Jasmine, Jiang Duo, prepare to replace others except Bean." Louis said, "Let's end the first half with 'Beautiful Basketball'!"

Seeing Louis' intention to substitute, Rodman simply fouled.

This guy, if nothing else, ever since he was traded from Vancouver to Los Angeles by Louis, his eyesight has been steadily improving, and he is afraid of being traded again.

"Well done, Dennis, have a good rest."

Louie and Rodman high-fived each other.

"Coach, I think I'm still very useful!" Rodman said narcissistically.

Louis smiled and said: "Yes, I think so too."

Just when Louis replaced all the Cavaliers, Jerry West in the locker room suddenly stood up and said, "Damn it, how can I watch this here?!"

After saying that, the old guy who was nearly sixty years old rushed through the player tunnel and came to Louis like a ghost: "How is the situation?"

"Bean made a mistake."

"I knew that kid wasn't ready!" West shouted, "Why don't you replace him yet! That kid is only 18 years old, he can't bear such a big responsibility!"

Louis yelled unhappily: "You are not a member of the coaching staff, so don't point your fingers here!"

West spread his hands and was about to say something, when suddenly, strong boos sounded from the center of the fleet.

Louis and West looked toward the court at the same time and saw Wilson confidently returning to defense, Hill sitting on the ground, and the Celtics picking up the ball on the floor.

43 to 43

Obviously, Wilson had just done something extraordinary, knocking Hill down and scoring three points in one go.

This was the second time Hill was knocked down by Wilson tonight.

Through the big screen playback, Louis and West saw what just happened.

Wilson's high-position reverse run made Hill make a mistake in judgment. In desperation, his center of gravity became unstable and he fell to the ground.

Wilson caught the ball and made a three-pointer, then raised the knife and dropped it.

"Perfect!" West said excitedly, "It's so damn wonderful!"

Louis said angrily: "Don't make any noise with me, go find a place to sit!"

West rolled his eyes and turned to look at the bench, only to see Wang Mukong stand up very consciously and sit down on the floor to one side.

West walked over, and Wang Mukong said: "Jerry, welcome home, there will always be a place for you here!"

Wilson dealt a heavy blow to Celtic's morale.

Their passing intention was predicted in advance, and Garnett attacked and stole the ball.

Liu Yuqing pushed for a fast break and cleverly hit the ground for an alley-oop, helping Wilson score a dunk.

Afterwards, Sampson was unable to shoot due to lack of physical strength.

The Celtics successfully retreated, but were completely destroyed by the Lakers' amazing five-man linkage tactics.

The ball moved from the top of the arc to the paint area, then passed out to the bottom corner, and finally returned to the top of the arc, where Liu Yuqing made a three-pointer.

48 to 43

With one minute left in the first half, the Lakers made consecutive attacks and widened the point difference to 5 points.

Then, Grant Hill stepped forward and made a mid-range shot to stop the bleeding for the Celtics.

45 to 48

Wilson looked coldly and gestured to Nash.

The two came to the frontcourt. Suddenly, Wilson ran back in a Z-shape around Nash behind him. He caught the ball half a meter outside the three-point line on the right, feinted past Hill, dribbled forward to attract the help of the defense and then took a step back.

He opened his body and shot directly at Sampson who was on defense.

Nothing to do with tactics, but equally beautiful.

"Whoosh!"

51 to 45

Wilson's ruthless three-point play toyed with Hill and Sampson.

At the same time, he made a heartbreaking remark to Sampson: "You are old, Ralph. There is no such thing as graceful aging in the world. It is just people's protection for your decline. Today, I want to

Puncture it!"

Sampson's eyes were burning with fire, "Then let's give it a try!"

Sampson, who regained his fighting spirit, wisely chose to hit the basket hard. Although he didn't score, he caused a foul on Garnett and went to the free throw line and made two free throws.

47 to 51

There are 29 seconds left in the first half. In theory, the Lakers and Celtics each have one offensive opportunity left.

Wilson dribbled the ball through half-court, and then launched a very novel tactic "Killer" to his teammates. It evolved from the "Meteor" tactic. Through the movement of people and the transfer of the ball, it finally created a

Target-specific offensive tactics.

The next 15 seconds were 15 seconds in which the Celtics' defense was completely divided.

The Lakers player holds the ball and calls for a pick-and-roll breakthrough and distributes the ball. The receiver picks up the pick-and-roll again, breaks through and distributes the ball again. The Celtics' defensive order has disappeared. They cannot achieve a reasonable matchup and can only seek treatment in a hurry.

style, allowing players to defend the person closest to them, and this will inevitably lead to misalignment.

When the basketball was separated from the paint area for the second time, Kobe was the receiver. He pretended to shoot, and his realistic fake action made Karl Malone, who was forced out of position, jump directly.

Then, he rushed to the basket with the ball in a hurry. This was the end of the tactics, but it was not the best opportunity, because if Kobe insisted on having his own way, he would face the most powerful center in history.

Everyone stopped, and the Wilsons knew that Kobe couldn't pass the ball.

The talented boy roared, stepped into the paint area, and flew violently towards the penalty area guarded by Sampson.

Before that shocking moment like the Big Bang occurred, everyone who witnessed it had a premonition that the future of the Lakers' No. 8 would be as shocking as this moment, and the declining Mr. Only would become a genius.

The stepping stone was silent in this shining moment.

Kobe grabbed the ball, flashed across the sky like lightning, and hit Sampson hard. His physical imbalance could not stop him from slamming the ball into the basket.

Kobe and Sampson both fell to the ground.

Kobe quickly straightened up, and when he realized what he had done, he couldn't help but scream to the sky.

Nietzsche said that those who fight monsters should be careful not to become monsters. When you stare into the abyss from a distance, the abyss is also staring at you.

Louis couldn't help but feel excited when he looked at Kobe who had lost his mind.

The child he called "Bean" had turned into the monster in his memory.

The victim was Ralph Sampson.

My dad has a fever today and I have a bad feeling.
