The rest is just noise

Chapter 159: If no one commits me, I will commit one

"Coach Lu, how would you evaluate the first half of the game?"

CBS broadcast the game live nationwide.

Therefore, at the end of the intermission, the person interviewing Louis was no longer a reporter from a local TV station, but a special frontline reporter from CBS.

Her name is Sally Kudo, a Japanese-American. Judging from her accent, she can definitely be a second- or third-generation immigrant.

Louis replied: "I don't know how to say it. The racist referee attacked me inexplicably before the game started. After the game started, the Phillies bullied my players like they were on gunpowder. I was really angry."

"

Kudo returned the fake smile to Louis.

She didn't expect Louis to tell such lies. Anyone watching the game could tell who was causing trouble.

The Celtics are too aggressive, giving the impression that they are here to fight. Playing is just a side job, and everyone is green tea. They start a fight, and when the 76ers are angry enough to punch, they start pretending to be innocent.

"Now, the Celtics have a big lead of 59 to 40. Will you adopt a more conservative approach in the second half to maintain the lead?"

Kudo did not let Louis take away the rhythm.

"Then it depends on whether our opponent is conservative or not." Louis laughed.

Kudo took the bait: "Oh, where do you start talking about this?"

"If Coach Cunningham is willing to throw in the towel or use a more conservative approach, then I'm more than willing to let them lose with dignity. In other words, if they don't know what dignity is, we're going to knock them out and throw them away.

Get out of the garden."

The unruly look on Louis's face, his wild and aggressive look almost drove Kudo crazy.

She ended the half-time interview as quickly as possible and disappeared from Louis.

Louis specifically greeted Lorraine before returning to the locker room.

The fans behind Lorraine suggested that he should be nicer when talking to the players.

"Your suggestions are very good, I like them." Louis smiled.

Lorraine smiled and said nothing. She knew very well that Louis' attitude in his heart was definitely disdain. It's just that he was so good at pretending that he could always assume different postures for different people.

Facing the fans, he is very humble, as if he can listen to the fans' suggestions. But he will forget the fans' words as soon as he turns around.

He doesn't need a bunch of amateurs to teach him how to coach.

"If the content of this game makes you feel uncomfortable, I will let them control themselves." The only audience Louis cares about is Lorraine.

Lorraine shook her head and said, "No, I like it very much."

"Marlena, now you should admit that you are a bit violent, right?" Louis asked with a smile.

This was a game that even ordinary fans would frown upon seeing. There were too many fights and conflicts, and the fact that the head coach knocked out the referee with one punch was outrageous.

Lorraine actually said that she liked it very much, and her expression didn't seem to be fake.

"Okay, I admit it!" Lorraine smiled, "So you have to be nicer to me in the future, otherwise, I may not be able to control my own little universe."

"Believe me, this whole audience, in my eyes, is not as important as one of your body hairs." Louis said disgustingly.

The people behind Lorraine couldn't listen anymore: "Coach Lu, can you keep a low profile?"

"Hey, sir, it's rude to listen to other people's words." Louis said and left quickly.

Louis returned to the locker room, clapped his hands briskly and said: "I'm happy to see the first half full of aggression and aggression. I love the hatred conveyed in your body language, except for Isaiah who almost made me impotent."

I have nothing to be dissatisfied with about the three-pointer."

Thomas was used to Louis humiliating him in public, so he still maintained a sweet smile with murderous meaning.

"Although we are 19 points ahead, we should not be too happy. I think you have all seen similar movies. The villain could obviously kill the protagonist, but was killed because of too much nonsense. We cannot make the same mistake.

"

Ranbir protested: "We are actually villains?"

"Stop talking nonsense, listen to me!" Louis said, "As long as they don't replace the main force, our offense will not stop. We will make the defending champion feel ashamed, score a super high score difference, and make the doctor's face difficult.

In order for Moses to sing in Mosaic to do this, you need to work together.”

Louis asked Tomjanovich to bring the information.

Louie distributed the information to the players.

"This is Rudy's statistics. The distribution of the 76ers' shots in the first half. We can see that Doc always attacks with his right hand. We can find that Bobby Jones likes free throw line jumpers. We can also see that after Moses comes up to the high post and frequently screens,

How flexible their offense is."

When Louis formulates tactics and lays out strategies, especially when he comes up with detailed data to match his persuasive speeches, the locker room is always quiet, with no other people's voices.

"First of all, our second half is Isiah, John, MLC, Larry and Ralph." Louis emphasized, "If they maintain the tactics of the first half and let Moses frequently cover in the high post, what you have to do is

Don't hesitate to complete the switch when the screen is completed. Don't worry about their small hitting big or big hitting small. This is not a problem at all, because their shooting ability is not as good as Isiah from beyond the three-point line, so every time they hold the ball

They all come to the basket."

"As for those under the basket, you all know that our trap has been laid."

Defense is the only thing that needs to be focused on. As for offense, Louis decisively adopted the No. 2 system as the main offensive tactic in the second half.

"Use running positions to cut up their defense, use ball movement to reduce their intensity, use your shooting ability, and BQ to solve their bodies with well-developed limbs but watered-down brains."

What Louis said next went beyond the tactics themselves.

"I want them to be ashamed that they were involved in a game like this."

"I hope to hit them until they lose confidence in the game."

"I hope all the bastards in Philadelphia go back to their hotels and go to bed at night and dream about ghosts in green."

Louis especially said to Bird: "I hope you can tear off the doctor's mask and let us see what kind of beast he is."

"Doctor messed with you?" Bird asked.

"No, why do you ask?"

"Because you are very specific to him."

"Hillbilly, is this the first day you met me?" Louis said the same way in the interview, "Even if he doesn't offend me, I will offend him. If someone doesn't offend me, I will offend him. Not only will I offend him, I will also offend him."

He pushed him into a corner, made him scream like crazy, then acted like a son of a bitch and forgot he was a gentleman, so he opened his mouth and bit."

Louis conveyed his determination to the players.

They came out of the locker room and worked hard for this goal.

Louis' assistants all had doubts about his previous arrangement.

"That's a bit much, Lu," Cowens said with a headache.

Louis asked back: "Is there a single second in this game that hasn't been overdone so far?"

"You did this to insult Billy Cunningham, right?" Tomjanovich was perhaps the only person who could read Louis's thoughts. "You wanted the entire American audience to see how the doctor was humiliated, and

As the head coach, Billy is helpless when his favorite players are constantly being humiliated."

Louis smiled slightly awkwardly and said: "You think of me too badly, I'm not that stingy."

With that said, he quickly walked out of the locker room.

Cowens was stunned for a second, "Rudy, I feel like you said what was on his mind."

Tomjanovich is still a bit new in the coaching business. With Louis, he mainly helps train wing players and cannot help much with tactics.

Louis knew that he would become a good coach in the future, so he intended to let him participate more in system construction, collect data, and record data. He gave Tomjanovich all the tedious things that were helpful for personal accumulation.

Unexpectedly, although this old boy's coaching ability is immature, he has a strong ability to observe words and emotions, and he understands him very well.

He knew early on that Louis was a man who used sweet words to make himself look like an open-minded, open-minded person who did not hold grudges.

In fact? He is so narrow-minded that he dare not even look at himself.

So when Tomjanovich told the truth, Louis was so embarrassed that he just wanted to leave the locker room.

In the second half, the 76ers maintained the strategy of the first half, but increased the intensity of the game.

They know very well that the high screen can only relieve temporary urgency. The Celtics can widen the point difference to 19 points, which is enough to prove that the 76ers' strategy cannot cure the root cause.

What Cunningham didn't expect was that the unlimited defense changes that Louis was about to put on the table would completely strangle their high-post cover tactics.

By then, since no one can stably hit three-pointers to stretch the space, the problems faced by the 76ers on the offensive end will be further exacerbated.

The 76ers let Andrew Tony play in the first round. The Celtics' double attack failed and he singled out and scored a goal.

42 to 59

"Larry, the coach seemed to have been looking at you when he said harsh words just now. Does he have other expectations for you?" Karl asked.

Bird didn't need him to remind him about this kind of thing.

"Give me the ball and stand aside and watch!"

Karl passed the ball, and when Bird saw Bobby Jones guarding him, he sneered: "Get the doctor over here."

"You don't need him to deal with you." Jones deliberately gave the doctor a platform.

As a result, Bird passed the ball.

He passed the ball back to Karl and then walked back, as if he was going to set up a pick-and-roll for Karl. Jones didn't expect Bird to leave the pick-and-roll position early and move down accurately, heading straight for the penalty area.

Carr's pass outpaced Jones.

Bird used L tactics to get rid of Jones and forced Dr. J to help defend.

Bird challenged Dr. J head-on and forced a layup, but missed. This result was what he had expected. Due to Bird's deliberate shot selection, the rebound bounced to the position most beneficial to Bird.

Dr. J saw Bird get the offensive rebound and the defense immediately moved in.

What happened next, Louis had only seen in the highlights of street ball players humiliating passers-by. Bird grabbed the ball with his right hand and pretended to pass it from the doctor's armpit. The doctor looked back at the ball, but the ball was actually still in Bird's hand.

The moment the doctor turned around, Bird stayed put and threw the ball from the doctor's arm with his right hand.

"Bang!"

Garden's reaction and the doctor's expression were just like Louis' mood and blurted out: "What is that!!?"
