The rest is just noise

Chapter 153: Please be serious

That afternoon, Louis ended the training session half an hour early.

Normally, he would not use the training time for other things. Unless the opponent was very strong, he would shorten the training time to prepare for the game that night.

The Philadelphia 76ers are undoubtedly a strong team.

He neither takes up the players' rest time nor wants them to think that he is too busy, so he shortens the training time to do this.

In the video room, Louis walked up to everyone with a playful smile.

He specifically pointed out Sampson's state today: "Your smile shows me your desire for victory. It seems that we can put the key to victory in your hands today. Ralph, are you ready to take on the heavy responsibility?"

"Coach, he likes to giggle naturally, is it necessary to over-interpret it?" Laimbeer made a mess.

Louis' smile became dangerous: "Bill, do you want to practice more three-pointers?"

"Coach, no one spoke just now. I only heard the dog barking. Don't mind." Ranbir said seriously.

"Just because of your shameless behavior, the Celtics have a bright future!" Louis smiled, "You have to learn from Bill!"

After finishing joking, Louis and Tomjanovich nodded.

Tomjanovich immediately came up with the data Louis needed: "Tonight's opponents don't need to be introduced by me. You are all familiar with them. If it weren't for them, we would have reached the finals in three of the past four years."

"The 76ers are very strong, there is no doubt about it, but don't think of them too strong. Last season's strength was only temporary. If you want to dominate the league, it's like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. The Philadelphians are very arrogant.

, they have not made any valuable trades or drafts in the past seven months, which means they have not made any progress."

Louis first laid out the data he had just obtained on the tactical board.

"Based on our scouting reports and the data we have, it can be roughly seen that the 76ers are currently in an anxious championship syndrome. They are eager to dominate, just like all teams that win the championship, they want to be respected by people.

"Louis smiled, "So we can see such a round."

Tomjanovich played the 76ers game highlights. In every round, the 76ers played like the tiebreaker of the Eastern Conference Finals.

What is worth noting is the game time.

Louis specially asked people to mark the game time and score, as well as their opponents. There was no strong team among them, the time was only one or two quarters, and most of the time, they were in the lead.

Normally a strong team would take it easy when they play like this, but the 76ers everyone saw had a serious look on their faces, eager to prove something.

"We can draw a conclusion from this. They want to maintain their dominance last season, so they work hard in every game. Their current offensive intensity is third in the league, their offensive rating is fifth in the league, and their defensive rating is second in the league.

Ranking first in the league in free throw rate, these lunatics have a 39% chance of getting to the free throw line every time they attack."

Bird sneered: "Praise the referee."

"That's right, if we had this whistle, we could beat them by 50 points!" M.L. Carr said boldly.

"Okay, next time we can play any team, as long as the referee takes care of us, if we don't win by 50 points, I will throw mL into the zoo and feed it to the tigers!"

Carl never imagined that his life would be in danger if he just got drunk casually, and the support from his teammates made him feel that this world is not worth it.

"Their play style is very fierce, and they strive to be full of intensity on both offense and defense. If this style of play continues for a season, it will also be a huge burden for them." Louis smiled, "These are what I want to remind you.

Yes, next is our strategy against them tonight."

Louis took the 76ers' data and said directly: "Although the 76ers' offensive intensity and offensive rating are among the top five in the league, unfortunately, they met us. Under my wise leadership, we have achieved the best results this season.

His offensive intensity and offensive rating are both No. 1 in the league."

Tomjanovich laughed.

K. Jones shook his head.

"Although it's shameful to brag, he's right," Cowens said.

"So, if you are forced to compete with them in attack, you have nothing to hesitate. That would be their own demise."

The players were already very confident in themselves, and Louis used data to prove it, making everyone more confident.

Encouraging morale is a must, and Louis specifically mentioned their spirits before continuing.

"Although the 76ers' free throw rate is first in the league, and we only rank tenth, we rank first in the league in limiting our opponents' free throws." Louis waved his hand to interrupt those who were about to laugh, "Don't just be happy.

This data shows that there is a problem with our defensive intensity. When facing a strong opponent like the 76ers, we must defeat them in terms of intensity. We did it in the 1981 Eastern Conference Finals, without Isiah at that time.

Except for Larry, everyone else is very immature."

Bird said unconvinced: "I am much better than I was three years ago."

"I believe this. Since you were able to keep pace with the doctor three years ago, what about you tonight, three years later?"

"I'll crush him!"

Louis applauded and said, "A bigger thumbs up for your courage and confidence than Suzanne Summers's sister."

Again, Louis is too young, so he is not serious when setting up before the game. He will joke with the players, and his jokes do not distinguish between the targets. Anyone who dares to come out to talk to him will be eliminated to the end.

Dig into the soil.

Bird was used to it, so he was really brave at the moment and believed whatever Louis said.

He didn't hear Louis' sarcasm at all, and was determined to fuck the doctor tonight.

"Come on, let's continue to use data combined with the actual situation." Louis pointed to another data, "Although they have the great Moses, their offensive rebound data only ranks sixth in the league, one place ahead of us; as for their defensive rebound data, it only ranks sixth in the league.

It’s interesting. Although they have a great rebounder like Moses, their defensive rebounding data is not in the top ten, ranking 18th in the league. No, I prefer another statement. The 76ers’ ability to protect defensive rebounds ranks sixth from the bottom in the league.

.”

"As for why this is the case, Rudy."

Every time Tomjanovich holds the remote control, he feels like he controls the world.

He played it confidently, but what came out was the women's pole vault competition.

"Damn it!" Louis blushed, "Rudy, what the hell is going on?"

The hateful thing is that the female contestant on the screen, with her bulging front and long legs, immediately stole the hearts of the whole team. Some people whistled, some praised her, and some blamed Louis for being a solitary eater.

"So you hide in the office all day long and watch this kind of stuff!" Bird glared at Louis in disgust.

"Believe me, I really don't want to watch this!" Louis shouted angrily at Tomjanovich, "If you haven't cut it off yet, what are you waiting for?"

"Uh-huh"

Tomjanovich changed the videotape, and the women's pole vault competition that aroused everyone's enthusiasm became the silly face of Moses Malone.

"Boring!"

"Please be serious!"

Ranbir spread his hands and said: "After seeing that, how can you be interested in this stammer again?"

"When I finish speaking, you can ask Ruditch to come back and continue to enjoy it. Now listen to me!"

Louis forced everyone to continue watching the tape, this time it was a clip of the 76ers defensive round.

"It stands to reason that with the 76ers' athletic talent, their defensive rebounding should not be at the bottom of the league. Therefore, the answer cannot be found in the data. The data can only tell you that their defensive rebounding is very poor, but the video can tell

Your truth.”

On the screen, although Malone sticks to the penalty area, Dr. J, Bobby Jones and others are adopting an aggressive defensive approach. They want to force their opponents to make mistakes in order to counterattack.

Although Cheeks is a defender with good rebounding ability, if a team's defensive rebounds rely on defenders, then the sixth-worst defensive rebounding data is really good.

As for Andrew Toney, who frightened the people of Boston, his defensive rebounding was mediocre.

Throughout the ages, all teams that like to press their opponents and force turnovers to create counterattacks must have problems with either offensive rebounds or defensive rebounds.

Most of the problems are on the defensive rebounds.

Because to press the opponent, there must be inside coordination. If the inside line leaves the penalty area for a long time, it cannot protect the defensive rebounds and will naturally be rushed.

The only exception is the Chicago Bulls from 1996 to 1998. Although they did not have a top inside man to control the situation, they had Rodman as a rebounding machine, plus Jordan, Pippen and Harper, who were top or even super top rebounders at the same position.

Ranked first and second in offensive rebounding rate, and seventh, twelfth and seventh in defensive rebounding rate for three consecutive years.

It can be seen that even for a team like the Bulls with a historical rebounding monster, the defensive rebounding rate still dropped to twelfth in the league this season. It can be seen that defensive pressure and rebound protection are two completely conflicting topics⑴.

"So, you have to boldly attack their penalty area tonight, get enough offensive rebounds, and show aggression!"

Nearly half an hour passed, and Louis only spoke a third of the time.

He realized he needed to speed things up because one of the annoying traits of the Fitch era was his tendency to sit through hours of pregame setup and video review.

This seemingly professional and responsible approach will disgust players.

But Louis doesn't act so solemnly every day, so it's not a big problem. "Coach, is it done?" Laimbeer couldn't wait any longer.

"Shut up, don't affect my progress!" Louis scolded.

He tried his best to shorten the time and omitted all the content of the province, but he still spoke for nearly an hour.

Especially in the last 20 minutes, not many people can concentrate.

A 40-minute class in school makes sense. Maybe he should limit his pre-game arrangements to 40 minutes.

Louis remembered this, waved to Tomjanovich, and returned the women's pole vault competition to the players.

"Don't you see the road?" John Long asked.

Louis snorted, "I've seen it before."

"As expected, he hides in the office every day and peeks at this kind of stuff!!!"

⑴The most emotional thing is Garnett. Before going to Green Kai, he averaged a stable 13 rebounds per game. After leaving Green Kai, his average rebounds dropped to 9.2 per game.
