The rest is just noise
Chapter 264 Then who should I bother
In Game 4, the Lakers tried their best, coupled with the home court advantage, to retain their dignity and not be swept by the Celtics.
In this game, Tom Heinsohn criticized the referees many times. He even said exaggeratedly: "No referee wants to see the Celtics sweep the Lakers."
Whether he was correct or not, the referee's performance in this game did change the momentum of the game.
Both Sampson and Laimbeer left the game with six fouls. Thomas was unlucky and struggled offensively.
Bird and the Celtics shooters seized the game.
Some critics believe that this game is adding weight to Bird's FMVP.
After Sampson played a game at the level of ESPN Classic Channel in the future, the FMVP battle suddenly became suspenseful.
Since it is a media vote, Bird, as a white man, has an inherent advantage, but Sampson's unprecedented outside play with a giant body is also impressive.
If the Celtics win the championship, FMVP must be chosen between these two.
In this game, Sampson was ejected. Although it was still a double-double, it was only 20+10 and the data was affected. Bird and Thomas fought hard with the shooters and scored 39 points, 15 rebounds and 6 assists. Although the defeat was honorable.
1 to 3
The Lakers handed the Celtics their second defeat in the playoffs. Unfortunately, they need to win four consecutive games against the Celtics to win the Finals.
This is mission impossible, the Celtics are destined to win the championship.
The format of the 1984 Finals was 2-2-1-1-1. In theory, this was the fairest format.
But the league quickly canceled this format and did not reinstate it until 2014.
The reason for canceling this competition is even more ridiculous. They think it can save travel expenses.
In an era when the annual salary of the lowest-paid players is nearly 200,000 US dollars, it is so stupid to give up a fair competition system in order to save a little travel expenses.
What's even more ironic is that this is the first executive order Stern has signed.
Returning a fair competition system to the NBA Finals is the first executive order signed by Adam Silver.
On the morning of June 7, 1984, the Boston Celtics left Los Angeles.
Before leaving, Louis was interviewed outside the airport.
The reporter asked him what he felt about Los Angeles, and he gave a favorable response: "It's a very good city. I feel the beauty of the entertainment capital of the world here. It has the best fans and competition venues, and the hotel service is also very considerate."
In Los Angeles, the Lakers didn't play off-court tricks against the Celtics.
This made Louis very emotional. Look at his quality, and then look at Auerbach.
On this trip back, Louis must advise Auerbach not to use off-court tricks to affect the Lakers' preparations. If they want to win, they must win in an upright manner. The championship is already in the Celtics' pocket. If they use these methods again, it is really a waste.
Disgraceful.
Louis once again liberated the players and allowed them to vent their excess energy outside as long as they participated in training and games on time.
There were people who doubted him before, but no more now.
After venting their energy, the Celtics went to the away game and played their best game of the entire season.
Louis went to Lorraine's apartment first. She had already gone on vacation and, if she was not pregnant, should now be preparing for the entrance ceremony in a few months.
But she is pregnant, so she will definitely not be able to enroll in school on time at the end of the year.
Lately, Lorraine has been obsessed with something else: acting.
She bought a basic introductory book on how to teach acting, and also followed the recommendations in the book and bought some old movies to learn from.
When Louis heard her imitating Marlon Brando's line in The Godfather: "You gotta act like a man! What's the matter with you!?"
He said and slapped the air.
"Are you okay?" Louis asked with concern.
Lorraine seemed to be still in the drama: "We have known each other for many years, and this is the first time you have asked me for help."
"Is your brain burned out?" Louis touched her forehead worriedly.
"You never wanted my friendship."
"That's enough, Marlena!"
Lorraine laughed and said, "Don't I act like one?"
"You should at least put some cotton in your mouth to make your cheeks swell before you read your lines, right?" Louis said angrily.
"I'm just acting for fun, why should I take it so seriously?"
"If you don't take it seriously, how can you make others take it seriously?"
Lorraine was persuaded by Louis, but she couldn't find cotton, so she stuffed two slices of peeled apple into her mouth. She said her lines again, but her speech was unclear and she kept drooling. She probably couldn't put the ball in her mouth.
Is this the effect?
In the afternoon, Celtic players gathered on the training ground on time.
Louis did not arrange too much training. He just returned from the away game and focused on conservative training to avoid too many injuries.
During training, Louis was basically a hands-off shopkeeper.
He knows how important he is and lets go when he needs to.
Technical work such as training should be done by professionals. They are only responsible for providing suggestions. The specific implementation depends on assistants like Tomjanovich.
Louis would occasionally make a surprise attack to see if anyone was slacking off.
Especially star players, like Bird, if he is found sitting there with legs crossed and drinking beer during training time, he will definitely go up and curse a few words.
Of course, he will do this, but not often. Who would bother his star player if nothing happens?
If he hadn't been upset, Louis wouldn't have made them unhappy.
During normal working hours, Louis would sit in the office, browse information, drink Coke, and play a rented pornographic movie when he had nothing to do.
Today, he decided to watch a movie called "Hussy".
He watched it purely because of Helen Mirren's naked body, but the whole show was boring. He fast-forwarded through the key parts without any reaction during the whole process.
Should a director who can make a Category III film so boring stop working in this profession?
Louis thought to himself.
Category III films are like a stepping stone for directors, just like some writers will deliberately write plot-oriented films to hone their writing skills.
Even the third-level films are not good, especially the camera quality is not as good as the Ivy films made by amateur directors. It can only be said that changing careers early is a good thing for him and for the actors who made shitty movies under his hands.
Louis took out the disc.
He now enjoys the feeling of controlling the remote control. If he were in his previous life, he would have thought it was very low. Now he feels like he has not done anything even if he doesn't play a few discs every day.
Fast forward to watching a boring movie, he went to Auerbach's office, broke through the door, grabbed a bottle of Coke, and then went to the stadium to find an unlucky guy to practice his mouth with.
He saw Bird sitting on the ground and resting. Regardless of whether he had completed training or not, he would go over and say a few words.
"What's wrong, Larry, you just practiced for a long time and you fell down? Aren't you said to be very energetic?" Louis teased him about his love of running circles around the court.
Bird rolled his eyes at him: "Don't bother me."
"Okay, then who do you think I'm annoying?"
PS: I’m over a chapter long and stopped when I got into an accident 2/3 of the way through.
