The rest is just noise

Chapter 242 Century Confrontation (8/107)

, the rest is only noise

In the golden age of sports, the confrontation between the Celtics and the Lakers was the most representative confrontation at that time.

Especially in the United States, the significance of the Lakers-Kevin rivalry has transcended the game. The rivalry has captured the nation's attention through multiple layers of subplots, headlined by the famous, much-anticipated Bird vs. Johnson duel.

Moreover, the game took place during the Reagan era. This more conservative president was accompanied by two important labels. One is that the reason why there was no bullet that killed him was particularly absurd and nonsensical. If you think modern fans

It’s outrageous that a girl in the circle would spend tens of thousands of dollars just to help her brother get a ranking. If you think it’s unbelievable for those idiotic fans who will follow the real owner no matter what they do, if you think about those gangs of people who spit out all kinds of things on the Internet.

If you feel uncomfortable with the fandom that uses dirty words that you can never imagine, and are extremely vicious, then you should watch this.

A teenager named John Hinckley fell madly in love with the heroine Jodie Foster after watching "Taxi Driver". This rich second generation from an oil family tried to get close to Foster many times but failed.

With an extreme personality, he thought of the plot in the movie and decided to imitate Travis and assassinate the president⑴ to prove himself to Jodie Foster and allow Jodie to successfully pay attention to his existence.

There will never be another person in the fandom whose NT behavior can compare with his.

He almost succeeded.

The shooting became an eternal label for Reagan. Another label is his conservatism, which is extremely conservative. It is the resurgence of the excessive "liberal liberation" in the 1970s, just as the Oguanhai era laid the foundation for the "political correctness" that will be seen everywhere in the United States in the future.

Only when the foundation is laid down can the understanding king shout Maga break out of the wall.

Liberals, who had been constrained by the Reagan era, viewed the 1984 NBA Finals as a fierce revolt against the president's conservative rule.

Various forces secretly fueled the rebellion against the president, using the two superstars with different skin colors as polar opposites to attack each other, making fans feel the oppression of the impending storm before the game.

Wilkins kept making beautiful dunks. If he did the same in the slam dunk contest, he might make it to the finals.

Louie, 24, walked up to Pat Riley, 39.

"As expected, we met here, Coach Riley." Louis noticed Riley's oily hair that could reflect light, like Michael Corleone coming out of "The Godfather".

The difference is that Riley's height prevents him from having to choose petite actors to play opposite him like Al Pacino.

Riley said lightly: "Coach Lu, a great team always needs a great opponent. I think the 72-win Celtics are the best background for the Lakers."

He said something harsh, but Louis didn't reply.

He just turned around and walked back, taking a look at Auerbach and his boss Gaston in the stands.

The key personnel of the Celtics have already arrived at the scene, and the fans' emotions are so high that whenever the Lakers get the ball, they boo the whole stadium.

In order to ensure that there are no accidents in the game, the league arranges three referees in the game.

Officials have discovered that only by putting three referees on the court can the referees control 90% of the area on the court. The sight of two referees is too narrow and has limitations. When encountering small moves like Laimbeer, Ainge, Carr, and Bird,

The king cannot take care of it.

Judging from this adjustment, three referees actually weakened the Celtics.

Louie didn't respond to Riley's trash talk and instead shook hands with tonight's referee.

Chief referee Jack O'Donnell, assistant referee Hugh Evans, third referee Paul Michalzak.

The three referees are all old men in the league. The senior ones like O'Donnell and Michalzak both entered the industry in the 1960s. Evans, the only black referee in the game, also entered the industry in the 1970s.

Louis held their hands and greeted them as if they were relatives.

O'Donnell said arrogantly: "Little Lu, there is no need to please us, let us each perform our duties."

"I'm looking forward to a game with loose penalties," Louis said whimsically.

Evans laughed and said: "The penalty is lenient? Then why don't you go to heaven?"

"You are all old people in the league. Don't you miss the past games where bleeding was considered a foul? That was a basketball game. Today's game is too soft."

Believe it or not, every generation suffers from the syndrome of "Today's XX sucks, and the past is the best".

Louis once heard an 80-year-old fan tell him that George Mikan was the best in history.

The referees' expressions changed slightly, but they did not respond to Louis' words.

Louis believes that subconsciously, they also hope that the Celtics and Lakers will have a real men's battle.

Don’t we want to continue history? Then let’s continue the confrontation of the 1960s.

On the other side, CBS and the nascent television network ESPN are preparing to broadcast the game live.

CBS is undoubtedly more influential. They invited Tom Heinsohn, a famous Green Kai star with a not-so-awkward stance, as a guest.

Dick Stockton came up and asked: "Tom, what do you think the odds are for both sides to win tonight?"

"Before I came, Reed told me that Little Lou was 100% sure of winning this game." Heinsohn smiled, as if laughing at Louis' arrogance, "What I want to say is

, when a coach who led the team to 83 wins and 11 losses says something like this, all you can do is believe him."

Stockton smiled and asked: "So, what can the Lakers do to make Little's plan fail?"

"Let's see if Karim can score 100 points in the Garden!" Heinsohn joked.

It is better to expect the 37-year-old Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to score 100 points in the Garden than to expect the Magic to score 50+20+20.

Tonight, both sides have made adjustments.

Louis put the more mobile Maxwell into the fourth position and asked Sampson to talk directly to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

The Lakers are even better: Magic, Dennis Johnson, Michael Cooper, Kurt Rambis, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

They have a lineup that could take another team to the playoffs: Kupchak, Byron Scott, Wilkins, Wilkes, Bob McAdoo

.

In terms of lineup depth, the Lakers are stronger than the Celtics.

Next, on the jump ball in the first game of the 1984 Finals, both Sampson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar captured the perfect time, and the young man was even better.

Sampson tipped the ball to Maxwell.

Maxwell immediately took the ball and attacked the basket, 2-0.

"Cedric Maxwell, who is on the roster, has proven his worth right from the start and that's why Little Lou has him!"

Louis stood on the sidelines and stretched out his hand and said: "The offense feels good, but don't forget why I let you."

"Never forget." Maxwell patted Louis' hand in defense.

For fans, how to understand a game? The simplest and most direct way is to observe the matchup on the field.

The basketball game is not as simple as my small forward versus your small forward, my center versus your center.

Louis put a lot of thought into the counterpoint.

Sampson versus Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bird versus Rambis, Maxwell versus Magic, John Long versus Cooper, Isiah Thomas versus Johnson.

It can be seen that, except for the center and point guard, Louis used mismatched matchups in all other three positions. The overall lineup's poor defense is the Celtics' shortcomings, while the overall lineup's strong offense and physical advantage are the Lakers'

Strengths.

Therefore, Louis wants Maxwell to enter the lineup to increase mobility and make them mismatch.

Maxwell's first wave of defense against Magic will determine whether the Lakers will be ShowTime or UglyTime tonight.

What was unexpected was that Magic saw Kareem Abdul-Jabbar hit Bird in a misplaced position as soon as he dribbled the ball across half court.

At that point in time, only one Celtics player was close to the penalty area, and he was completely out of position. As long as the ball was delivered, it was a perfect misplacement.

The magician decisively used a one-handed Qigong wave to pass the half court.

This is the reality of Kuroko Tetsuya's magical skills. The only difference between a magician and Kuroko, apart from his gay friends with colorful hair, is the gorgeous special effects when he uses Qigong waves, and his ball is passed beautifully to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar took the ball and went forward. Bird fouled him hard, but he still couldn't stop him.

"Andone!"

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar called Bird's foul, with disdain on his face, and slowly walked to the free throw line to fist bump with his teammates.

"Cedric, is this how you defend yourself?" Louis asked dissatisfied.

Maxwell shouldn't be blamed just now. No one expected that Magic would pass the ball there. It was not a good opportunity. It was entirely created by his talent and audacity.

Louis yelled at Maxwell mainly to cheer him up.

Extra penalty, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar also scored.

3 to 2

Celtics offensive round, 1-4 high offensive formation.

The Lakers' defensive matchup also has its advantages. They let Kareem Abdul-Jabbar sit at the center. If Sampson wants to go outside to shoot, he has to rely on the mobility of his teammates to follow him. He won't come out anyway. Bird takes the ball from the high post and is Lan.

When Biss is on the outside, Cooper will help defend him.

The core theme of their defense is nothing more than rotation.

Rely on the mobility of the other four positions to make up for the lack of mobility of the center.

But in order to do this, it is inevitable to leave the opponent open.

When Sampson came to the free throw line to screen Bird, the Lakers were blinded.

Bird used Sampson's pick-and-roll to shoot in front of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, but he couldn't guard him anyway.
