The rest is just noise

Bird was regarded by the Lakers as a disabled outsider like Ben Simmons.

No, actually you can’t say that.

When the three-point line was first introduced to the NBA, the average player in the league was Ben Simmons. If you stood two or three meters outside the three-point line, you would be considered highly regarded.

It's just that Bird's shooting skills have been proven, so it's not like this.

Riley suddenly used this move, Bird was stunned, and the ensuing anger made him take action, and he even hit the iron repeatedly. Tonight, his three-point touch was terrible.

As a result, the Celtics' first four offenses were all Bird's open three-pointers.

Bird missed the shot very "highly". Three of the four long rebounds produced by the four three-pointers were converted into the Lakers' ShowTime counterattack. Although the other one was fouled by Bird's tactics, it allowed the Lakers to fight in a positional battle. They had

The most consistent two-point shot in history.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's skyhook scored that goal.

As a result, the Lakers got off to an 8-0 start, and the Forum became a storm.

The fans shouted passionately, as if doing so would cause more damage to the Celtics.

Louis called a timeout, but he didn't scold Bird like he did when he saw Bird miss his first open three-pointer.

"Larry, don't worry about your three-pointers anymore." Louis laughed harmoniously, "We won't shoot tonight, okay?"

Bird has always been a proud and ambitious man. If the Lakers look down on his three-pointers, he will make these bastards pay the price.

So, he held his head high, as if he was 4-for-4 instead of 0-for-4 and said domineeringly: "No, I will continue to vote."

In an instant, the kindness on Louis' face turned into a violent storm: "It's not good but it's good! What the hell did you shoot tonight as a three-pointer? I can do it, but can't I make it? Maybe I can still

Just shoot a three-pointer without going out of bounds. This will at least prevent the Lakers from playing ShowTime! Look at that damn three-pointer of yours that even a dog would find disgusting."

"Lu, we still have business to do," K.C reminded.

Not once or twice did Louis use the timeout to curse.

He woke Louis up in time.

Louis just stopped and glared at Bird fiercely: "From now on, until the situation becomes clear, you are not allowed to shoot three-pointers again. We will act like a turtle tonight!"

Louis held the tactical board and spoke quickly like a hard-core rap singer: "Isiah, from now on, you will be the main attack! Larry, I want you to call after you see Isiah running across half the court."

Give him the pick and roll."

Bird asked: "Doesn't that mean a pick-and-roll outside the three-point line?"

"That's right."

They have doubts, because Thomas's three-point threat is not great, and the Lakers are likely to just ignore the pick-and-roll.

"If their defense doesn't step up, Isiah, you do."

Louis only said half of what he said, and the referee came to remind him.

"Damn it, it's all your fault, Larry! If you hadn't been messing around with me, I could have said a few more words!" Seeing that he couldn't finish the tactics, Louis angrily threw the blame.

Bird would have the urge to punch Louie in the face every day, and he would never regret this handsome face.

Damn this bastard!

Bird cursed silently.

Louis' assistants were a little worried because he had only arranged half of the assignments just now.

"You don't understand, don't you? This is called blank space in the movie, allowing the audience to taste the part where the answer is not given." In fact, Louis didn't know that it was bad not to complete the tactics, but what could he do?

Scold Bird again?

Come on, you scold Bird every day for losing face?

A mature coach should know how to leave some room for his players.

Don't get me wrong, Louis is not mature yet, he knows he is still a short way away from maturity.

Louis really hopes that Riley will use the tactic of leaving Bird open in the Finals.

If they think that Bird is in this state today, the Lakers will definitely suffer in the finals.

The purpose of letting Bird see Thomas and run the pick-and-roll after halftime was to break up Dennis Johnson's annoying LOGO press.

This is Riley's little plan, let the big midfielder force Thomas, slow down his speed, and then start man-to-man seriously.

And Louis asked Bird to pick and roll after halftime just to get rid of Thomas' predicament.

Once the pick-and-roll is taken, or once the pick-and-roll stops pressing, Riley's one-step plan fails.

Thomas who is not being pressed and Thomas who is being pressed are not at the same level of threat with the ball.

In the first round after the timeout, Bird's pick-and-roll position stunned everyone.

Bird's opponent, Wilkins, had no idea how to handle this situation.

So he watched Thomas get to the free throw line and score a jumper.

2 to 8

Riley put his left hand around his stomach, supported his left hand with his right elbow, and gently pinched his chin: "Little Lu is indeed worthy of her reputation. She has more evil ideas than Larry Bird's trash talk."

What to do? Riley told Mazi on the spot: "DJ, there is no need to press Isiah anymore! If he calls the pick-and-roll again, you just hide behind the pick-and-roll and ignore his three-pointer!"

By the way, he also said to Wilkins: "If Larry continues to set him a pick-and-roll and retreats outside after the block, you will directly flank Isiah. If Larry cuts in after the block-and-roll, follow closely!"

"

Riley thought about the potential trouble.

The magician demonstrated his ability to force a positional battle into a fast break.

The Celtics were clearly in position, but he just used his size advantage to open up the defense and pass the ball to Wilkins.

Wilkins smashed the ball into the paint and tried to blow up the basket, but was affected by Laimbeer's textbook defense.

Not only did he not take off, his shot was also deformed.

After all, a vicious dog is a vicious dog, and its reputation spreads all over the world. Wilkins is not willing to injure himself just for a dunk.

Magic organized a beautiful attack, but Wilkins was not brave enough.

Louis believed that Laimbeer was just defending normally, but Wilkins would rather miss than believe in his quality and morality.

Next, Louis saw Dennis Johnson staying away from the LOGO, instead standing inside the three-point line waiting for Thomas to arrive.

Riley reacted quickly enough, and Louis walked to the sidelines and shouted: "Ralph, don't be idle!"

Bird's current touch is no longer enough to open up space for Thomas. If he doesn't want the latter to use his personal ability to deal with it, he can only let Sampson, who has mid-to-long range, come out to help.

Moving Sampson means that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar also has to make a choice.

He never likes to follow the opponent's footsteps and defend defenders. He is a person who longs to stay in the penalty area his whole life.

At this time, his head, which already showed bald spots, must be soothing himself crazily.

Larry Bird can't make a shot, how can that little guy make a shot? Just let him go, don't worry about it, that's fine.

Whatever the reason, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar did not run out to defend.

So Sampson created two opportunities with a pick-and-roll.

Thomas selflessly gave up a scoring opportunity and passed back to Sampson.

Sampson stood on the free throw line facing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and then made a jump shot.

4 to 10

"You can never expect Karim to get up that high and delay his opponent!"

Tom Heinsohn had dealt with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar many times in the 1970s, and he knew Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's virtues.

Defending pick-and-rolls has never been in his world.

He has never defended pick-and-rolls since he was a child, and not many teams will rely on pick-and-rolls to defeat him.

Unfortunately, Louie comes from an era where pick-and-roll tactics were developed to their zenith.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's poor pick-and-roll defense was brilliant on offense.

Get the ball in the low post and don't hit it.

Wilkins cut in from the air, found the smallest slit, and hit the ball through.

After receiving the ball, Wilkins performed a furious dunk from the basket that made the entire audience tremble.

Among the players Louis has seen in his life, Wilkins is the only player who can make people feel like he wants to smash the shit out of the rim when he dunks.

That kind of power makes you worry about the basket.

What did the basket do wrong? Why do we treat the basket like that?

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar refused to come out to guard the pick-and-roll, and Riley couldn't force him out with a gun.

With regard to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s character, the more you force him, the more he will do it for you to see and won’t go out. What will you do to me? He can definitely do it.

Moreover, Riley is not the godfather who controls Miami yet. He is still a coach who needs to watch the faces of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson and Jerry West.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to offend core players.

If Kareem Abdul-Jabbar doesn't go out, he won't go out. How can he die?

If he doesn't go out, others will help him out.

Sampson and Bird once again went out to help Thomas pick and roll. Louis saw the Lakers letting Bird go, and then surrounded Thomas with the strength of three people, preparing to force a turnover.

This made Louis laugh.

Dennis Johnson + Rambis + Wilkins.

"Is this enough?" Louis was worried for the Lakers.

The Lakers not only underestimated Thomas' personal ability, but also underestimated their defensive ability.

The double attack between Dennis Johnson and Rambis is strong enough, but you want Wilkins?

Louis seemed to see the three heroes fighting Lu Bu. Guan and Zhang were fighting against the three slaves, and at the same time they had to protect their eldest brother from making any mistakes.

Wilkins' defense is like a modern-day Stoudemire.

Look at his 206cm tall body, world-class running and jumping, and fast speed. There is almost no shortcoming that can affect his defensive ability, but his defense is not good.

If future fans don’t have an intuitive impression of the crazy small forwards in the 1980s who were a lot better at offense and a lot worse at defense, the Jazz’s efficient scoring champions Adrian Dantley and Wilkins are both.

Typical template.

Thomas controlled the ball at a height of 20 centimeters. The Lakers who came to attack were too tall. Wilkins even created a big loophole and acted as a pick-and-roll wall for the Smiling Assassin, blocking his teammates.

Thomas entered the penalty area, raised his hand to throw, and hit the board.
