The rest is just noise

In the opening game, the Celtics won the jump ball.

Someone was down in the first round, and Laimbeer's body slam on Marc Iavaroni PF was genuine, pure brute force.

Louis wants to see three 76ers fall to the ground within one minute, and Laimbeer will follow this order.

The 76ers' ferocious defense made the Celtics' tactics unable to work for a while.

Just from the beginning, they were as vicious as if they were fighting for the last round.

As a result, Bird found his touch in the jungle-like confrontation and scored a jump shot.

Louis is basically confident about the offense. In terms of offensive ability, the Celtics are more than ten times better than the 76ers.

They have had the problem of insufficient attack capabilities since the days of Dr. J. It was not until the arrival of Andrew Tony that the problem was generally solved.

However, if there is a problem with Tony's condition, they will face that dilemma again.

"Doctor, is that called defense? You didn't put any pressure on Larry at all!"

If M.L. Carr could stop his bad mouth for even a second, it would be considered as a good deed for his descendants.

After hearing his words, Dr. J was not angry because he knew that this mad dog never brushed his teeth and liked to spray feces. What the doctor didn't expect was that his opponent took up the topic.

"What MLC said is fine," Bird said, whether he was confident or arrogant, "You really can't guard me, not just this round, but also the next round, and the next round."

Dr. J got angry. He thought that his status in the ABA was no less than that of some disadvantaged team owners. When he entered the NBA, he was regarded as the top player in the league. Although he did not replicate the success of the ABA, he was not someone who could be bullied by a junior like Bird.

of.

"Young man, be careful when you talk nonsense." Dr. J intended to teach Bird how to be a good person.

If he could do it, Louis would really like to thank him. He and Bird had known each other for four or five years and still didn't know how to teach a country bumpkin how to be a good person.

It's the 76ers' turn to attack, and this is where the Celtics need to face the test.

Louis doesn't care about the team's offense, he cares about defense. How to prevent the 76ers' positional battle is the key to this campaign.

At this time, fierce conflicts broke out again inside.

It was Ranbir just now, and this time it was Sampson. He had a fierce conflict with Moses Malone. Malone did not expect that Sampson, a junior, would dare to do something small to him, so he immediately used the famous buttocks trick to push the young man up.

to the ground.

Sampson screamed miserably and performed the flop he learned from Laimbeer.

"Beep!"

The only referee on the field, Joe Borgia, who had high hopes from Louis, did what he was supposed to do.

He called an offensive foul on Malone.

"Moses didn't commit a foul!" Malone yelled angrily, "Moses was!#!￥unjustly accused!"

Borgia looked calm and did not listen to Malone's excuse.

Cunningham was there applying pressure.

Louis clapped his hands and applauded: "This referee is very courageous. I admire him very much."

Tomjanovich smiled and said nothing, as long as he was willing to blow the Celtics' home whistle, it was a good thing in Louis' eyes.

The Celtics have been rejected by many people because of their rough style of play and a series of demonized legends about Auerbach and Garden. The referees do not like this team because starting from Auerbach, the Celtics have been

Head coaches are the sworn enemies of referees.

I thought Louis, a young man, would be more restrained, but I didn't expect this guy to go too far. He directly punched the referee today.

This goes far beyond Auerbach's scolding battle with the referees and Heinsohn's repeated verbal threats to the referee's personal safety.

Just by knocking out the referee with one punch, this achievement is the only record in the history of the NBA, and it is difficult to surpass it.

It was the Celtics' turn to attack, and Karl couldn't sit still again.

He jumped up and shouted to Sampson: "Catch the ball, Ralph, are you not afraid of Moses? Look at the height difference between you. If I were as tall as you, I would smash his head on the spot without any discussion."

of!"

Isiah Thomas actually passed the ball to Sampson, looking like he was just enjoying the fun.

Sampson gets the ball in the low post.

Karl asked: "Is that okay? Can you kill him?"

"no problem!"

Sampson answered, then turned around and shot a fadeaway jumper that Malone couldn't touch.

"Bang!"

Ma Long's eyes widened angrily: "You are so angry at Moses!"

4 to 0

Hearing this kind of trash talk, Louis didn't know how to react.

Why is it so cute?

The 76ers' offense ran into trouble.

Louis' arrangement began to take effect. First of all, the Celtics never gave the 76ers a chance to create a strong point to attack a weak point.

Once there is any sign of a strong point attacking a weak point, their double-team will approach instantly.

Moreover, they are not worried about the 76ers shooting three-pointers.

A few years later, this team did not learn from the original lesson. They did not realize that the small space was a problem that seriously restricted Dr. J's take-off.

They have never thought about improving this problem. Otherwise, you can't explain why after three years, their three-point shot frequency is still ranked second to last in the league, only 0.003 behind the Atlanta Hawks, which is first from last.

This kind of team with a three-point shooting rate of only 0.16% does not need to worry about their three-point shooting at all. The key players will decisively attack when they get the ball and boldly leave the outside.

Under Louis' arrangement, the Celtics' attack on Tony was particularly brutal.

One of them didn't control it well, and Tony made a mistake in passing the ball.

Sampson started immediately at the free throw line. He ran so fast that Malone, who was shorter than him, actually lagged behind him in straight line speed.

Sampson picked up the ball in the middle and reached the three-point line in one stride.

In front of him, the weakest point in the 76ers' starting lineup, white power forward Avaroni chose to foul.

However, even though his body lost its center of gravity, he could still throw the ball toward the basket with his right hand. He didn't look at the basket, just relied on his feeling, and then the ball went in.

"Beep!"

The referee blows the whistle again.

Sampson scored 2+1. He clenched his fists and shouted. Looking at Malone behind him, he suddenly said: "Ralph is invincible!"

Let the Celtics get off to a 6-0 start. If Sampson scores the extra free throw, it will be 7-0. The potential crisis forces Cunningham to pay attention to the problem.

There are two urgent problems plaguing Cunningham: the offense cannot score, and there is a lack of manpower at the fourth position.

Before Malone came, they had the Jones brothers and Dawkins inside, both of whom had both height and athletic ability. They were not as exaggerated as Sampson, but they were right.

Now, Malone is one size smaller and he is a center.

Alvaro is not on the same level from size to strength.

Ask Malone to defend him, not to mention that Alvaro will be bullied to death by that stinky gangster Laimbeer. Sampson, who has good touch, shoots over Malone as easily as throwing the ball into the swimming pool on the second floor. Let Alvaro do it.

If you don't mind, Sampson will do whatever he wants.

The success of last season somewhat confused the 76ers.

They thought they only needed to stabilize the lineup instead of making corresponding upgrades.

Just look at what the Lakers did. They traded Norm Nickerson for Dennis Johnson, and then took an insignificant role + US$400,000 in cash. They got Byron Scott for nothing, and then gave him

The aging Kareem Abdul-Jabbar found strong support like Bob McAdoo as a substitute.

The Lakers, who were swept by the 76ers, made no excuses and improved the strength of their lineup in all aspects.

The 76ers stopped moving forward.

Cunningham could only replace Alvaro, who was not in very good condition, and replaced him with another inside man, Clemon Johnson. The difference between Johnson and Alvaro is that one cannot guard Sampson, but the other can at least

Put some pressure on the confrontation.

Seeing that the 76ers' inside strength was low, Louis replaced Laimbeer, who had knocked down his opponent many times in a few minutes, to rest, and replaced him with Maxwell to speed up the game.

He specifically told Maxwell: "I don't agree with the Suns trading so many people for you, so give me some excuse!"

Maxwell said regretfully: "Why don't you agree?"

"How could I give away my beloved for those scraps?" Louis said disgustingly.

Maxwell felt a chill in his heart and walked away.

After hearing what Louis said to Maxwell, K.C, who knew the inside story, once again recognized Louis' true face.

Naive K.C, Louis seems to be refreshing his impressions every day.

"Is it okay to lie to people like this? This world is full of lies," Louis paused and said, "Let them live in lies like fools. This is my tenderness towards them."

"them?"

"...Don't worry about details like this."

The 76ers' offensive disruptor is the unexpected Moses Malone.

He came to get the ball in the high post with the intention of receiving the ball, but unexpectedly everyone dispersed, and Sampson, Bird and Maxwell didn't come to guard him, but just threw him at the free throw line.

Malone took action excitedly and scored a goal.

He scored from the free throw line for the first time.

After scoring, he mumbled a lot of words.

Unfortunately, it was hard to hear him clearly because he was so excited.

"Moses said," Dr. J translated for him, "you should watch out for his traces."
