The rest is just noise

"Baby, you'd better not guard me!"

Dominic Wilkins has a hard time understanding what happened tonight.

In the first half, Bird smiled at him and praised his athletic ability.

As soon as he was replaced in the second half, Bird bared his teeth and wanted to bite someone.

Moreover, if he did not misunderstand, Bird should have deliberately targeted him.

"Larry, what did I do wrong?" Wilkins asked.

Bird made a slow motion move with his left hand and hit a step-back jumper with his right hand.

"You didn't do anything wrong, I just wanted to see you angry." Bird looked disgusted. "I would like to add that your defense is really amateur."

Bird rejected Louis with all his words, but he did not compromise on his actions.

This is what Louis is most satisfied with.

How Wilkins plays defensively is important to him.

If his defense is not good, it means that at least two of the five Lakers players will have holes that need to be wiped out by their teammates.

In this way, no matter how much Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is willing to invest on the defensive end, or whether Dennis Johnson has the defensive skills at his peak, the Lakers cannot become a team that can degrade their offensive threats defensively.

In fact, they may even fall into the fatal "gluttonism" because of a lineup that seems to be both offensive and defensive to a certain extent.

Some teams that have particularly high demands on themselves always overestimate their capabilities.

I want to defend well and I want to be strong offensively.

But throughout the ages, those who can do both at the same time are masters of the dynasty.

Louis asked Byrd to find trouble with Wilkins, and the guy spent two minutes making fire appear in the latter's eyes.

Another minute later, Wilkins received a ground pass from Magic, faced Bird who was overwhelmed in the paint, and scored an earth-shattering two-handed slam dunk.

"Oh Larry!" Louis cried miserably, "Dominique, how dare you do this to my Larry?"

Wilkins did not forget to complain: "Coach Lu, your player is mentally ill. I strongly suggest that he go to a lunatic asylum for a few days!"

"I will seriously consider your suggestion." Louis smiled.

Bird walked over slowly, with a questioning expression on his face: "What did he say?"

"He thinks you are mentally ill and suggested that I send you for a craniotomy to cure it." Louis felt that he had perfectly conveyed the spiritual core of Wilkins's words.

However, he said it in a rhetorical manner that would make Bird furious.

"Does he think that just by dunking the ball he is qualified to fart in front of me?" Bird said angrily.

"If you want to blame it, blame yourself for being useless and letting him pretend." Louis said regretfully.

Bird didn't make excuses, but he told Wilkins what he was going to do before every offensive move.

Sometimes, Wilkins has asked his teammates to switch defenses, and he will jump over his opponent and humiliatingly inform Wilkins how he is going to attack, so that he can prepare in time.

During this period, Bird scored 12 of the team's 16 points, including two unreasonable three-pointers.

Wilkins didn't get another dunk opportunity.

Although there is no dunk opportunity, Wilkins is not a player without the ability to attack with the ball. He can use small steps to deceive opponents when posting up, and can also perform beautiful near-basket hooks combined with up-and-down step fakes. In addition to being fierce,

It's also very flexible, so it's very good at getting through people's cracks.

This style of play reminds Louis of the Pelicans' Fat Tiger.

It seems to be extremely tough, and it is a hard-to-hard style of play, but the technical details under the basket are very rich, and he can always avoid blocks and find angles to hit the board at the moment of strength.

This is where Wilkins shines brighter than Worthy.

Compared to Worthy, he is a wing that is more threatening and oppressive to the basket.

However, he doesn't have Worthy's steady high-post shooting. He takes more possession of the ball than Worthy, and his defense is worse. Oh no, it's worse, worse, worse.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar tried, Wilkins tried, Magic doesn't need to try.

Louis has been following him since he entered the league.

Despite his reputation as a magician, Louis was well-known before he traveled through time.

However, his initial impression of Magic was wrong. He mistook Magic for James in the 1980s. However, when he observed Magic from his rookie season, he found that there were not many similarities between the two.

James is the ultimate combination of physical talent and basketball IQ.

Among the players in the new millennium, if you want to say who is more like Magic, Ben Simmons is more like him.

At this stage, the magician's advantages and disadvantages are very obvious.

Louis knows his strengths and weaknesses very well, so he just needs to prepare countermeasures in advance against the Lakers.

After testing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's defense and determining that Wilkins' defense was at least as bad as Magic's, his only goal was to let the Eastern Stars win the game.

By the way, let me forget that there is a center named Bernard King on the Eastern Stars.

The logic that caused him to lose his memory was very simple. First of all, he was sure that Bernard King was a center, but there was no center named Bernard King on the Eastern Stars' roster. In his memory, King was not in New York either.

He plays center, so his team should not have a center named Bernard King, so he successfully forgot that substitute center Bernard King was sitting on the edge of the bench. Is there a problem with this wave? Please put reasonable

This chapter says.

If you are not confused, just read the previous paragraph a few times.

Bird was full of rage, and almost every pass from Thomas was delivered to him.

That's valuable because Bird handles the ball so crisply.

Almost all the super players of the older generation have this characteristic, they don't stick to the ball.

Bird was so angry that every time he caught the ball, he would throw it out within three steps.

Because his anger was so strong, the Eastern Stars performed significantly better than the Western Stars.

The magician was crushed.

He is not a player with stable offensive ability, otherwise he would have replaced Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the boss of the Lakers.

Louis saw his smile disappear, and Kareem was as angry as Bird.

He also started to ask for the ball, and the fighting spirit index of both sides increased significantly.

"Oh my gosh, did they double team in the All-Star Game?"

The Eastern Star team double-teamed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in order to win.

By the way, Louis also wanted to see how fast Kareem Abdul-Jabbar released the ball under a really strong double attack.

The results show that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's ball speed is above the average level. He cannot be considered top or excellent, just above average.

The problem is, the double attack in the All-Star Game is a temporary arrangement.

Louis did not specifically design a double attack on Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. There would be no one ambushing in the passing line, no highly directional double teams, no double teams forced into blind corners, and no multiple players in pocket formations.

Double team.

How will an above-average ball-playing ability perform against the Celtics' double attack?

Louis needs to test this in subsequent regular seasons.

Now this level is enough to make Kareem Abdul-Jabbar angry.

He didn't expect that the Eastern Conference Stars would go so far and double-team them even in the All-Star Game. It was so shameless.

The third quarter was the one that opened up the score.

It was the quarter that sealed the victory for the Eastern Stars.

Bird's shooting, Thomas' breakthrough and precise ball distribution sealed the victory for the Eastern Stars.

"After watching this game, I suddenly felt that there is no suspense in this year's Eastern Conference playoffs." The CBS commentator accurately pointed out, "The two best players in the Eastern Conference are both in Boston; the five best players in the Eastern Conference are all in Boston.

Players, three of them are in Boston."

The fourth quarter has become a time for both sides to score points, because the outcome has been decided.

The only suspense left is when Louis remembered that there was a center named Bernard King on their team.

It turns out that Louis forgot about the center player.

Because Bernard King does not play center, is there a problem? Please put "No problem" in this chapter.

Especially in the second half of the fourth quarter, every time Louis waved, it was either four up, four down or five up and five. He gave almost everyone a chance to play.

Only Jin was sitting alone in the corner, being blown by the cold wind.

"Coach Lu, let Bernard play for a while, I'm tired." James Worthy is a kind man, and he is satisfied if he can play 25 minutes tonight.

Louis smiled and said: "When you are tired, take a good rest, don't say unnecessary words, and don't meddle in other people's business."

For Louis, this is also one of the ways to establish his authority.

Even if he never becomes the head coach of the Stars again in the future, he still has to let everyone know that playing under him must follow his rules.

If anything, Bernard King is the example.

Louis thinks he is not a difficult person to talk to. As long as what you say makes sense, as long as you really have difficulties, speak openly. Those who can understand will definitely understand, and those who can open the back door will not deny it to you. Just like J.

The doctor was also threatened by Louis, but he resolved the unpleasantness in a mature way and gained Louis' forgiveness. He only participated in half of the training class and left.

Jin insisted on touching the tiger's butt.

Can you touch the tiger's butt freely?

At the back, everyone in the audience was waiting for Jin Xiang to make his final appearance like he did in the first half.

But Louis was determined to lock his playing time at 2 minutes and 50 seconds.

Therefore, in the final garbage time, Jin still didn't get a second of playing time.

Louis would rather let Tripka, Parrish, Birdsong, Jeff Luland, and Laimbeer (three inside players) torture the fans on the court than even look at King.

Now, not even the CBS commentator can help Louis smooth things over.

"Maybe Bernard really has some problems with Little Lou."

"That's for sure. Coach Brown has said that Bernard is healthy and he has no injuries."

The game entered the last minute and Jin was still unable to play.

He sat solemnly, clenching his fists, waiting for the game to end.

Louis stopped looking at him, as if he didn't exist.

The Celtics players were not surprised by what Louis did. The other stars in the Eastern Conference put themselves in his shoes and thought about it. What if the person who was so humiliated was themselves?

If Louis could do this to Bernard King, he can do it to everyone else.

This fact sent shivers down their spines, and they were glad that they did not act against Louis in an instant.

After tonight, not only the star players in the Eastern Conference, but every player in the Eastern Conference have established an understanding of Louis through this incident: If you play under Little, you must not go against him, because it is really impossible.

I'm spoiling you!

When the final whistle sounded, Laimbeer complained in a low voice to Dr. J, who had no sympathy with him: "Doctor, now you know how we people got here, right? Those days were very miserable!"
