The rest is just noise

Chapter 263 I make them hate me (14/114)

After the game, the unwilling Lakers fans stayed at the scene to boo the Celtics.

They are mad!

Especially Nicholson, who was so disappointed that he exploded.

Louis was sitting on the bench with a look of enjoyment on his face, as if he didn't want to get up again.

When K.C. Jones walked up to him, Louis said, "Hold me up, K.C."

"You're so lazy!" K.C pulled him up from the bench in disgust.

Louis stretched and Sampson came towards him.

Tonight, he scored 36 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists and 7 blocks. This is a performance that can be recorded in history.

"Coach, thank you!"

Sampson hugged Louis hard, "I can never do this without you!"

"Ralph, can you stop being so sweaty!"

"Have mercy on my expensive suit!"

"You are repaying kindness with hatred!"

Louis was wiped with sweat, and Sampson just walked away with satisfaction.

When Sampson finished venting his emotions and let Louis go, Louis' suit was stained with this guy's foul body odor.

He is indeed a one-of-a-kind genius, but that doesn't mean his body odor is exempt from vulgarity.

I can’t say how much black people taste like, and it would be racial discrimination.

Louis awkwardly walked towards Pat Riley. The Lakers had gone to extreme lengths to win today, and they almost did it.

The third quarter was dominated by Thomas and Bird, and the fourth quarter was dominated by Sampson.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the Celtics' Big Three, in terms of combat power and maturity, are stronger than the Lakers' star-studded lineup.

Magic is limited by his fragile mind, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is too old, and Wilkins is only in his second year. It is too difficult to expect him to change the game.

"Coach Lu, how did you do it?"

Riley couldn't understand that in the third quarter, the Celtics were shaky.

Then he put together a non-defensive two-star + three-shooter lineup.

In the fourth quarter, he went even more extreme and chose to shoot all over the place.

As a result, every time the Celtics were about to be overwhelmed, their star stood up and stopped the game.

Riley wants to know the secret.

Louis didn't know, and he couldn't tell him if he knew.

He pretended to be mysterious and said: "You have to believe that there is a mysterious power in the Celtics team. From ancient times to the present, they have won everything, and they have never lost to the Lakers in the finals."

Louis jokingly said: "This may be more effective than the 'Curse of the Holy Child'⑴."

Riley was silent. Louis thought he had nothing to say, so he walked to the reporter's seat.

"Coach Lu, what have you done to this team?" Riley asked.

Riley asked himself that his coaching ability was not inferior to that of Louis. The difference in this game did not lie in the coaching staff, but in the on-the-spot performance of the players on both sides. When Sampson came on the field with four fouls, the Celtics were already about to collapse.

.Then, Louis asked Thomas and Bird to each lead a system to survive.

When Thomas and Bird were resting, how could Sampson, who had committed four fouls, be able to sustain the situation?

It's like you prayed to save yourself from two difficulties in a row, and each prayer came true.

The Celtics' Big Three all performed their best performances in the Finals.

Sampson established his reputation as the league's number one center in one battle.

If Louis was not convinced of the status of the players, if he did not have a hand on the psychological state of this group of people, he would never be able to use an outrageous way to stimulate their potential.

In the last half of the quarter, there was another great chemical reaction between the Celtics' three giants who were in full condition.

From that point on, it was impossible for the Lakers to win.

Riley's words stopped Louis.

What did he do to this team? It's hard to say. He established a new system, made Bird get used to being called a country bumpkin, beat Thomas every now and then, and allowed Sampson to rebound and defend with peace of mind. He really did all the blue-collar things.

I did a lot of it, but none of it was likable.

Louis was convinced that none of the players were willing to follow his orders because they knew they would win if they followed his orders.

"That's a good question, Coach Riley. If reporters could ask such good questions, I wouldn't be so annoying."

Louis turned back with a smile on his face, and his eyes met Riley's.

They are the youngest and second-youngest head coaches in the league respectively, with a 14-year age difference between them.

Unlike Louis, Riley has a full resume as a player. He was teammates with Chamberlain, played against Bill Russell in his later years, and was teammates with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar who moved to the Lakers at the end of his career. Now he is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's teammate again.

He has full qualifications as a coach, and the Lakers have a ready-made system. He doesn't need to think too much to succeed.

His success came too easily, so he wanted to know what Louis, a self-made man with almost amateur basketball skills, did to the Celtics to make this team unbeatable.

Louis' smile was as shallow as a fake smile, and his answer was heavy and surprised Riley: "I made them hate me."

After that, he walked up to the reporter at the scene.

"Coach Lu, this was really a great game. It set a new record for NBA single-game ratings. Did you ever think it would be this result?"

Louis faced reporters directly and replied calmly: "I won't say that I thought of this result in advance. That would be too arrogant. I can only say that I like this result. Last year, the Celtics lost in the Eastern Conference finals. We let everyone

All the supporters were disappointed and it was a humiliating experience."

"When you are young, you have to experience something to understand how sweet victory is."

"One of the things this world teaches us is that all efforts may not be fruitful, but all wounds must have their meaning. The wounds will heal and the pain will disappear, but sooner or later you will remember what it felt like again. We decided

Looking forward with this pain, we have advanced so far and no team can stop us anymore."

This night's media interview room was the biggest battle Louis has ever experienced since taking charge.

There is not a single empty seat in the visiting room.

The most influential media in the United States gathered here, and the three giants sat next to Louis.

"Coach Lu, you once said that this series will be six or even seven games. Now you are leading 3-0. Do you still think so?"

Louis didn't expect to be "slapped in the face" like this.

He smiled bitterly and said: "I always expect the worst outcome when I do anything, so yes, the Lakers are a respectable opponent and we will never take any chances."

Next, there will be nothing more to do with Louis.

The media is snobbish, and players are more valuable for interviews.

The Big Three of the Celtics all gave key performances today, with Sampson the most dazzling, Bird and Thomas in no particular order.

Bird is still the player who gets the most questions. As for those big media who want to interview Sampson, Thomas is the one who is ignored as always.

The media probably asked Bird seven questions in a row.

Louis kicked Bird with his foot under the table to remind him not to be too loud.

Bird glared at Louis hard, showed his dissatisfaction on his face, and told reporters: "Don't you have anything to ask Isiah? He also played very well. Don't make it seem like I won the game alone."

.”

Bird's words diverted the reporter's attention.

Reporters gradually discovered the marginalized Thomas. After checking the information, they found that Thomas scored 24 points, 4 rebounds and 9 assists tonight. This performance should not be ignored in any case.

Thomas enjoys being bombarded with questions from reporters, and it won't be long before he gets tired of it.

The Los Angeles media asked kindly: "Do you mind being called 'the guy who lives in Larry's shadow'?"

"I don't mind, because this concept is extremely wrong." Thomas smiled meanly, "I do live in the shadow of others, but not Larry. Larry also lives in the shadow of others, so does Ralph, and so does Kay.

All Celtic players live in that man's shadow."

The media asked: "Who is that guy? Reed Auerbach?"

"No, it's our coach." Thomas said in shock, "In front of you, he is the best person in the world, but it is different behind closed doors. I have met many coaches, and he is the most special.

He dominated this team and guided us on the right path. All of us hated what he did, but we were all willing to follow his lead. His shadow loomed over the team, but it was he who made us

Coming off last season's loss, he has reshaped this team."

Thomas said fiercely: "He is the reason why we become special, but you only notice a few of us and do not realize his role at all. I have to say that I am disappointed with your observation skills. You stare every day

They look at us, but only pay attention to those trivial stupid things, but ignore the most important things."

Thomas' words are likely to arouse the disgust of the media, and he has since become a journalist insulator like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. His words shocked not only reporters, but also his teammates and coaches.

Louis' jaw almost dropped. Even if Bird's hair was plucked and he was found to be a harpy, he still wouldn't believe Thomas could say these words.

Could it be that he didn't torture Thomas hard enough and gave this guy pleasure?

"Coach Lu, how did you transform this team?"

ESPN reporter asked.

Louis glanced at Thomas. Suddenly, this guy's smile and shallow dimples were no longer so annoying.

All right

Louis smiled and replied: "I made them hate me."

⑴In 1918, after the Red Sox won the MLB championship for the last time in the last century, the team was bought by a New Yorker named Harry Flatts. In order to meet the needs of business and pleasure, the team was purchased for $125,000.

The greatest slugger in the history of the Red Sox, nicknamed "The Holy Child," Babe Ruth, was sold to the arch-enemy New York Yankees. Ruth was the most outstanding player in the league at the time. He worked hard for the Red Sox to win the championship and made great contributions. He was a Boston backup.

A beloved city hero, Ruth also vowed to end his career here. One can imagine the shock caused by his sale. The Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees are recognized enemies, and it has been passed down for centuries.

Today it is still a sworn feud. The Flats sent their greatest hero to the enemy, making the city furious. Before leaving, the furious Ruth angrily said to the uninformed fans: "I never

I thought about leaving Boston, but the owners... put all the blame on me, and if I had to bear the reputation of being a traitor, the Red Sox would have to pay the price by never winning a championship." (Last 88 years,

It was not broken until 2004)
