The rest is just noise

Louis didn't adjust his defensive strategy because of the Mavericks, he also adjusted accordingly.

The Celtics have four systems, each designed to deal with different defenses.

Moreover, the strategy of blocking the middle and leaving the side, letting them invest in the middle, is not a wise choice, it is just a decision made out of helplessness.

If they don't do this, the Celtics will continue to hit the penalty area.

Instead of letting the Celtics attack at the basket with a shooting percentage of over 65%, it would be better to let them shoot mid-range shots, where the shooting percentage is only about 50% no matter how good it is.

Anyone can do this kind of assignment.

After Bird asked for the ball, Thomas' emotions no longer dominated.

In the eighth minute, Louis replaced Thomas.

Behind them, the fans at the scene said all kinds of ugly words to stimulate Thomas.

He sat down in silence.

Louis didn't communicate with him, and Gerald Henderson, who replaced Thomas, did an excellent job as a tool man.

Against Henderson, blocking the center and leaving the wing will not work, because he is not a core defender like Thomas, nor does he pride himself on breaking through any opponent's players who appear in front of him.

He always calls out tactics calmly, focusing on being a green leaf and not intending to be the protagonist.

Therefore, Bird stayed in the high position and played a two-hander with him.

Bird received the ball at the three-point line, used his body as a covering wall to escort Henderson to cut through, and then controlled the ball himself.

Even if Henderson gets the ball, it's not the end point. The Mavericks' pressure on the ball holder is enough to make him lose ideas about the offense.

He is a selfless defender who is willing to set others up with his passes.

Therefore, the Celtics' offense became more dynamic after Thomas came off the court.

Maxwell played the entire quarter and scored a team-high 15 points.

The Celtics also led the Mavericks by 36 to 22, 14 points in the first quarter.

Before the Mavericks made adjustments, the Celtics only led the Mavericks by 11 points. In the first half of the game after their adjustments, the point difference only widened to 14 points.

For this, Louis has to praise Motta.

"Let's adjust it."

Louis changed the lineup.

Bird, Maxwell and John Long were all replaced.

Replaced by a novel lineup: Henderson, Ainge, Carr, Sampson, Laimbeer.

"My plan tonight is to beat them by 40 points, but considering that the strength of you and the lineup is one million levels away, I think I basically can't count on you to expand the advantage." Louis said angrily, "Although I am right

You have no other hope, but I still have a small wish. How about keeping the score difference within double digits?"

Karl said dissatisfiedly: "Coach, are you looking down on others when you say this?"

Henderson echoed in a low voice: "Yes, we have two at least."

"Two? Do you mean Bill and Ralph? I admit that Ralph is very valuable, Bill?" Louis' face was full of contempt, "If you put your hope in these two, I will

Very pessimistic.”

Ranbir is a bitch: "Yes, no one can believe me. I was removed for no reason and I don't even dare to say a word of nonsense. How is it like other people? I get restless after being spoken to for a few words, and I don't even get beaten."

Sighing like a girl."

"Who the hell are you talking about?" Maxwell asked.

"Yo!" Ranbir didn't even look at Maxwell, but pointed at him impolitely, "Here comes the right one!"

Fortunately, the second quarter has started, otherwise Louis would be worried about them fighting.

After Laimbeer rolled onto the field with the second team, Louis turned back to Maxwell and said: "Is this the first day you met this vicious dog? What he said is just like fart. You don't have the consciousness to say that you do it with him.

How many years have you been teammates?”

Maxwell said dissatisfiedly: "Aside from being able to shoot three-pointers, what qualifications does he have?"

"I'm sorry, the three-point shot is the reason why he entered. If you have the ability, shoot it. If you can't shoot, don't be so nagging. It's like what the vicious dog said, chirping like a bitch."

Today was originally a good day for Maxwell. He became the leading scorer in the first quarter, but Laimbeer fired at him inexplicably. He responded with a few words, and Louis directly knocked him back to his original form.

He sat down depressedly.

"It's a good thing to be in mood. A team without mood has the worst future!" Cowens warmed up the game like a macho man.

Louis followed his words and said: "Da Hong is right, it is good to have emotions, but some people pretend to be open-minded even though they are emotional. They are hermaphrodites who are small-minded, but they giggle like they have Alzheimer's disease all day long to gain favor.

The bastard dwarf never releases his emotions off the court, he always messes up things on the court and waits for me to scold him."

Louis did not name Thomas in order to show him some kindness.

He looked at Thomas with a smile and asked Cowens next to him, "Do you think he is cheap?"

Cowens considers himself a rough man and takes pride in being rough. This is one of the ways to show his masculinity. In golf, it is normal to say a few rough words.

It was normal for coaches to be rude, but at times like this, he had only seen one person who continued to rant after the atmosphere had calmed down, and that was former Celtics coach Bill Fitch.

The difference between Louis and Fitch is that unlike Fitch who fires shots day and night, he only fires shots when players have problems.

Moreover, as long as he takes the initiative to attack you, don't expect him to take care of your face. He will tear off your face and throw it to the ground and pour urine and feces on it.

Thomas leaned on the bench and remained silent.

Everyone sitting here knows who Louis is talking about.

Seeing that Thomas was not about to have an attack, Louis snorted softly and reviewed the game.

Came over and said, "You were too harsh on Isaiah."

"Don't worry, he is someone who has played under Coach Knight." Louis smiled, "My level should not be 1/10 of Coach Knight's."

According to Louis' impression of Knight, given Thomas's character, he was not allowed to slap him a few times and pinch his neck to deepen the impression, so as not to make the same mistake again.

"But, Isiah is one of Coach Knight's most proud players." The meaning is very clear.

Being one of Knight's proudest players means Thomas likely doesn't get much flak from Knight.

",I must do this." Louis said.

"I understand, but you are too harsh on him," he said. "You seem to be like this to everyone, but Isiah is our number one and he has a strong self-esteem. In fact, everyone is the same. Give him a piece of cake."

If he eats the candy, he'll be done with it. But once you cause harm to him, the scar will remain forever. This is human nature."

"You mean Isiah?"

Louis glanced at the autistic Thomas and replied with a smile.

"Yeah, since one injury will leave scars, so we have to not correct them when they make mistakes because we are afraid of being resented by them? Back then, when you made mistakes on the court, Reid shouldn't have cared about whether you had it in your heart.

Leave scars." Louis paused, his eyes sharp, "Since you hurt him once and it will leave permanent scars, why not hurt him a few more times? When his body is riddled with holes, he may get used to it. Once that happens,

He is used to it. If you give him another piece of candy, maybe he will burst into tears of gratitude? This is also human nature."

He would never interfere in any way with Louis' coaching. In fact, he knew very well that Louis' education for Thomas was necessary.

Thomas is a complicated and difficult person to understand. His smile is an excellent cover. No one can understand his smile.

He always does one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes. He says he supports you, but in his heart he completely opposes you. He is selfish but also puts the team first. It’s very contradictory, right? This is the Smiling Assassin.

A superstar who is self-respecting and puts the interests of the team first.

He knows very well that basketball is a team sport, and he knows very well that to win, he needs the help of other people. He can make sacrifices for this team, provided that he is the core of this team. If there is another core in him

Above him, he doesn't mind taking a back seat, but the premise is that the other party must also share his starlight.

So he could succeed with Joe Dumars, but after his proposal to Adrian Antley, "Whoever wins FMVP must share the trophy with others," was rejected, he secretly asked the management to send him away in exchange for

My own good brother (Mark Aguirre).

He is willing to share, and he also hopes that the people around him will share with him, but in Boston, Bird always enjoys everything voluntarily.

Unfortunately, the city of Boston cannot satisfy Thomas.

Louis insisted on tearing open the biggest rift in Thomas's heart, just to make him understand.

He can never get what he wants.

It's not that Bird doesn't want to share, it's that Boston doesn't want to give.

How can people in Boston allow a nigger to share Bird's glory? Let him and Sampson become the shadow behind Bird and share a little credit is already a gift.

Twenty years ago, fans would have broken down the door of his home, pooped on his bed, smashed his trophy, sent black cats, and sent threatening letters.

Louis deeply understands Thomas's frustration. The problem is that there is no solution to this matter. Now that he has become the head coach, he cannot let this kind of thing become an obstacle to the team. He wants Thomas to understand that the general environment is not something they can change.

.Since he is playing for the Celtics, he should concentrate on playing and play with all his strength. Don't be affected by these bullshit. If you can't stand it, apply for a trade. He has been playing here for four years. Who can stop him from leaving?

Since he didn't ask for a trade and knew the virtues of the city of Boston, but still foolishly wanted to get as much respect and love as Bird, Louis could only wake him up.

When Louis used sweet American words to educate the substitute players off the court, the previous provocation method began to take effect.

Everyone in the Celtics' second team was very angry. They didn't expect Louis to despise them so much.

Laimbeer didn't care on the surface, but in reality? Within a few minutes, he knocked Mavericks players to the ground one after another, and his murderous eyes were really like Magic's famous comment about him.

No one wants to ruin their career for 2 points, right? No?

Louis believes the Mavericks believe this statement is true.

Because they haven't hit the ball to the basket for two minutes.
