The rest is just noise

"Can you relax a little on defense? I haven't seen Moji's one-handed acrobatic pass for two minutes!" Louis complained to the people on the court.

Everyone who heard his words rolled their eyes.

This man is really difficult to maintain.

You want to be entertaining, you want to win, and you want the magician on the opposite side to show off?

Do you dare to contradict yourself a little more?

Isiah Thomas is the only player who has not been substituted since the start of the game.

In the 10th minute of the first quarter, he rushed to the basket and passed the ball behind his back. Unfortunately, he did not have enough tacit understanding with his teammates, and James Worthy was hit in the face by his ball.

As a result, the magician got a chance to juggle.

Only a magician can achieve the "ShowTime" effect by doing such an action. Everyone else looks like a monkey.

He would grab the ball with one hand, use a few very deceptive fake shakes, then lean to the other side and throw the ball to his teammates in the opposite position.

Except for the final pass, none of his actions were believable.

The basketball flew into the hands of Dominique Wilkins. This violent and practical dunker, who had no choice but to become a foil in the dunk contest, unceremoniously hit a big windmill.

Although few people take the All-Star Game seriously, Louis regards this game as a prelude to the Lakers.

Louis knows enough about Magic and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

As for Wilkins, his only impression was the opponent's dunk. As for the other things, he really didn't have any.

Last season, he was injured and his performance was poor against the Celtics. Louis failed to see his true ability. This season, his impact from the wing has given the Lakers a huge boost.

He's the kind of rim-rusher that magicians love.

Is he a better Magic player than James Worthy? It's hard to say.

Worthy's speed gives him an unparalleled advantage in rotating offenses, while Wilkins is a greater threat to the basket in positional battles. However, his shooting is not stable enough, and the Lakers still have space for Jabalten.

.

Therefore, perhaps Wilkins's personal ability is stronger than Worthy's, but Worthy is the wing most suitable for this Lakers.

Thomas fulfills his duties, and Louis gives him authority. He connects the whole audience and makes everyone feel involved.

The Smiling Assassin in this state, apart from his lack of stable three-point shooting, is simply a perfect point guard.

He doesn't have the problem of traditional point guards lacking lethality. Once he is on the verge of a crisis, his ability to take over the ball is no less than that of Bird and King.

Because there is a key player at the level of President Hill in the Celtics, so he has no chance to show his ability.

He passed the ball again.

Now he has scored 8 points and 7 assists, making him the player with the best statistics in the game.

This data comes before the end of the quarter, AMVP's Qi phase has come out.

The Western Stars caught up after Kareem Abdul-Jabbar left the game. Magic no longer always paid attention to whether anyone in the low post wanted the ball, but only thought about how to show off.

George Gervin performed his fingertip basket.

Bird threw a long pass from the basket, and James Worthy rushed to the frontcourt for a dunk.

Magic broke through the middle without encountering a strong defense. He dodged left and right, and his acrobatic passing turned into acrobatic layups. With no one able to match his size and wingspan, he could do whatever he wanted in the penalty area.

The first quarter of the game is coming to an end.

There are only a few players left on the Eastern Conference Stars who haven't played yet.

They are Otis Birdsong, Jeff Ruland and Bernard King.

Louis glanced at them and asked Luland and Birdsong to get ready.

"Coach, why don't you let Bernard play for a while?" Dr. J wanted to be a good person.

"No need, you see, he doesn't even want to fight himself." Louis smiled.

King's face became increasingly ugly. After the dead ball ended, Luland and Birdsong came on the court, making him the only Eastern Conference star who had not yet played.

Many media came to the scene, including reporters from New York.

They came here for gold, but they found that their star players had not been able to show off their talents. If the interview time had not come yet, they would have wanted to put the microphone in Louis' face and ask him to explain.

Dr. J had some friction with Louis at first, but he calmed down the matter maturely.

For this team, the doctor has a master's mentality. He hopes that his team will be harmonious and united.

"Coach, Bernard's vote count is very high." The doctor said, "The league works hard to publicize and promote his status to the outside world. His status is obtained by the fans' votes, and his influence in New York is extraordinary. If he is not allowed to play,

It will make fans think that their votes are meaningless, and it will even put you and the league in a disadvantageous position in terms of public opinion."

"Who said I won't let him play?" Louis smiled euphemistically, "I just won't let him play now. Don't worry, I won't let him not be able to fight for a second."

Ranbir said sarcastically: "Take a break, doctor, our coach Lu has always had a clear distinction between grievances and grudges. If someone is shameless, then you can't blame coach Lu for stepping on his face on the ground."

"You evil dog are making rumors about me again?"

Louis refused to admit it: "When have I ever stepped on someone's face?"

The doctor gradually discovered that Louis was a bastard who refused to take hard and soft decisions as long as he made a decision. Anyway, this matter had no direct interest in him. Since he couldn't settle the matter, he just ignored it.

This matter should not have anything to do with him. Even if it does, he is a good person who has failed to ease conflicts and his image will not be damaged.

"It's such a shame that this happened," the doctor sighed.

Louis glanced at the doctor. This man, who presented himself with a perfect image wherever he went, had destroyed his team and family time and time again in order to maintain his good image.

Like Chamberlain, he is a unique product of the paper media era. They are trapped in the personalities and images woven by themselves and the media, thus losing their true selves.

Which Julius Erving is Dr. J himself?

In Louis' opinion, he was definitely the one who punched Bird because of his foul mouth.

It's a pity that that kind of ferocious moment, where the true colors are revealed and the tail is raised high, are extremely rare in Dr. J's entire career.

If the Doctor was born decades later, would someone write a book called "The Private Life of the Doctor" to ruin his character? If he were active in the social media era, he would not be able to control his inner demons, and would be exposed for opening a small account to blackmail his teammates.

Are you going to let yourself go?

It's hard to say, but this era created Dr. J. He should be perfect and elegant, and be able to meet the fans' requirements wherever he goes. His face represents the image of the league.

Even the fact that he never devoted everything to the victory or defeat of the game has become understandable.

In the second quarter, the best period for the Western Conference Stars was when Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was absent and Magic, with Kiki Vandeweghe, Wilkins, Gervin, and Jim Patterson, was about to hit the whirlwind.

Vandeweghe dares to shoot wherever he receives the ball.

Magicians like him like this.

Jim Patterson and Gervin are both good at shooting at medium and long range, which provides perfect conditions for Wilkins to show the "essence of human cinema" to the audience.

Seeing that the Western Stars were playing well, Louis hardly made any adjustments.

When the double-digit advantage was equalized by his opponent, Louis symbolically called a timeout.

Moreover, he has no other arrangements on the defensive end. This is the All-Star Game. There is no point in putting more effort on the defensive end. It is not that they are not allowed to defend, but that this kind of defensive consciousness should not be reminded by him. He only

Responsible for rotation, preparing offensive routines, and defensive strength depends on the consciousness of the Eastern Conference stars.

Louis asked Thomas, Bird, Sampson, Doc and Laimbeer to appear.

The four All-Stars of the Celtics competed on the same court, which made some of the Celtics stars present quite excited.

"The jerseys of the Eastern Stars should be green!" Heinsohn said eccentrically, "Red is really ugly!"

Although Louis did not deploy any tactics, there were four players on the field from the same team, which in itself is of great significance.

They don't need tactics, they can rely on tacit understanding to make the offense come alive.

The doctor is very happy. All he has to do is find opportunities to cut inside, and Thomas and Bird will pass the ball to him.

The Western Stars provided assistance to the Eastern Stars' momentum, and they invited Kareem Abdul-Jabbar back.

For the Western Conference Stars, who have been playing well in the past few minutes, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is the god of plague. When he comes, everyone should stop thinking about being happy and pass the ball to the low post to watch him perform sky hooks.

When Laimbeer hit a three-pointer, Louis specifically called him to his side and warned him quickly: "When guarding Kareem, pay attention to his left shoulder."

"is that useful?"

"You try it first and then talk."

Ranbir followed Louis' plan and pressed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's left shoulder, and then used a skyhook.

Although the movement is smooth, the arc of the hook is a bit strange.

Laimbeer's defense definitely affects his shots.

"Whoosh!"

Even if the ball goes in, Louis can be sure that this defensive method will work for Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
