The rest is just noise

Louis and Isiah Thomas didn't have a good first impression of each other.

Thomas looks far less approachable than his smile.

When he first arrived on the team, he knew what he had to do to establish his status. Therefore, he beat Archibald mercilessly.

This approach may not necessarily convince Archibald.

Thomas was contemptuous of those around him and took his victory for granted.

He regarded Louis as a relative because several new assistant coaches had been guiding their training before. Louis just came today. Thomas had heard the legend about Louis, but he didn't believe it.

Because Louis is only 1 year older than him.

In the basketball industry, there may be talented players who are already among the best players in the world when they are 20-21 years old. But are there talented coaches? No.

Nothing requires more profound professional qualities than coaches in team sports.

Not only is Louis young, he also has no professional basketball training experience. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is an amateur.

Thomas's view of Louis is the view of most people who don't know him well.

Louis said hello to Thomas and went to meet Danny Ainge, who was practicing shooting seriously.

Louis didn't know that the team wanted to draft Ainge.

It was obviously Auerbach's decision.

Very early on, Auerbach went to the scene to watch Ainge's game, and then he showed indifference to Ainge. This is his old routine.

Angie has been a super all-rounder in sports since he was a child. He rose to fame playing basketball in high school and was selected to the All-American team. At the same time, he was named to the All-American team in high school football in his senior year. At the same time, he even played baseball and was also selected to the All-American team.

An All-American, making him the only player in history to be selected to the All-American team in baseball, basketball and football.

After graduating from high school, Ainge was selected by the Toronto Blue Jays of MLB (Major League Baseball) through the amateur draft. In professional baseball, he mainly plays second baseman, but he can also serve as the team's third baseman and outfield position.

Versatile and versatile.

In college, he played for Brigham Young University for four years, was selected to the All-American first team twice, and even won the John Wooden Award only awarded to the best player in the United States in the 1980-81 season - you know,

The person who won this award before him was Larry Bird, and the person who won this award after him was Michael Jordan.

However, the glory of college basketball does not mean the success of a professional basketball career. In fact, in the 1980s, many people have discovered that college masters may not be able to adapt to the stronger NBA. Professional basketball requires speed and physical fitness. Just right, Anji

He has neither of these two things at all. He is a white guard who likes to attack the basket and his shooting is poor.

As a shooting guard, his height is only 1.93 meters. Moreover, he also has a contract dispute with MLB. Various reasons made Ange uninterested in the draft, and he fell to the second round and was selected by Auerbach.

.

Ainge's shooting was worse than Auerbach expected.

Because of Ainge's poor performance, Fitch repeatedly criticized this choice in internal meetings.

In the original draft, Fitch had other candidates, but they couldn't match Auerbach's decision.

Fitch has claimed more than once that he wants to return Ainge to the Blue Jays.

Anji worked tirelessly to practice three-point shooting. Without an assistant, he had to pick up the missed ball by himself.

Louis didn't know how well Ainge's three-point shooting went afterwards, but he looked very unprofessional now.

He is a greedy player who wants to master long-range shots from all angles.

When the ball he missed rolled to Louis' feet.

Louis walks to the corner with the ball and shoots at will - three-pointers are the only thing Louis is good at.

"Whoosh!"

"Good shot." Anji asked matter-of-factly, "Are you here for a trial training?"

Angie was born in 1959, one year older than Louis.

Louis smiled, and the thick eyebrows on his eyes danced happily, "No, I am the assistant coach of the Celtics, and my name is Louis."

Anji was shocked. He had heard Louis' name and knew he was very young, but he didn't expect him to be so young.

"Nice to meet you." Angie said.

"Me too," Louis asked, "how long have you been doing this?"

"Half a month."

"How's the effect?"

"You should have seen it..."

"Well, that's bad." Louis threw the ball to Ainge, "You look like you want to master every three-point shot in training camp."

Ainge was puzzled. He had watched the Celtics' playoffs last season, and he knew that the Celtics' requirement for the second position was to shoot three-pointers.

But John Long's main three-point threat is in the bottom corner. If he can develop a three-point threat in all positions, his priority may be higher than Long's.

He is very ambitious and very strategic.

He immediately saw where the Celtics' tactics were.

Unfortunately, Louis is not sure whether the Celtics in the new season will continue to play according to the style of last season. After all, there are four assistant coaches who are "far more professional than him".

"What's wrong with this?" Angie asked.

"Ideas are plump, reality is skinny."

Louis said calmly: "You can get every woman in Boston pregnant within a year, but you can't get them to give birth to a baby within a month."

"You mean, I should find a sweet spot on the court and focus on shooting from that spot?"

"Yes." Louis said, "If you are willing to do this, I can be your ball boy and pass the ball for you. If you insist on your current training, I can only give you some humane care when I have time, but

Maybe I won’t waste time with you.”

"Pass the ball for me?"

Anji almost thought he was hallucinating.

"Yes."

"are you serious?"

Although Louis is young, Anji has inquired and found out that none of the veteran players who won the championship last season admire him. His reputation in the team is unmatched by K.C Jones and the four new assistant coaches.

Even if there is a problem that Bill Fitch cannot solve, someone will say: "If there is a way, there must be a way."

Bird even commented: "He has the most and most evil ideas among the people I have ever met."

Look at how arrogant the four new assistant coaches are, bringing their arrogance in teaching student players in college to the professional arena. They seem to be confused about the situation and think this is a university where they can perform as they please.

These people place themselves in a much higher position than the players. They will scold you when they see you do something wrong. Everyone follows Fitch and makes themselves a devil with horns on their head. Want them to help you train? Dreaming

.

Louis offered to be his caddy...

"If you accept my suggestion, I mean it. If you don't, just pretend I didn't say it."

Louis has determined that he will not participate in the construction of the team's offensive and defensive system this season.

He vaguely feels that he has hope of becoming the Celtics head coach in the future.

So if he can't confront Fitch head-on, then find another route.

The old team members have a good relationship with him, so the new team members are his active targets.

Thomas is arrogant but has an approachable smile. It is difficult to establish a relationship with him in a short time. However, Ainge, an under-popular second-round pick, is still a doormat in the struggle between Auerbach and Fitch. He definitely needs care.

Louis is 100% sure that Angie will not refuse his kindness.

From that day on, Anji, under Louis' suggestion, began to specialize in three-pointers from the left bottom corner and the left 45-degree angle.

Louis also pays attention to the training arrangements of the coaching staff.

The four new assistant coaches designed a strict defensive strategy, which was more reasonable than what Louis had designed before, but the requirements for the players were too harsh.

Moreover, they hope to put Sampson in the fifth position and ask Laimbeer to be a substitute.

Laimbeer, who has played as a starter for a season, will never give up the starting job without any injuries.

The reason for his protest was also clear: "I started as a starter last year and helped the team win the championship. Why do I have to be substituted for a bunch of bastards who came from nowhere?"

In college, it is not uncommon for coaches to cover the sky with one hand.

Even if you are the number one player in the United States, you have to be obedient and follow the team's tactics when you come to school.

Otherwise, he will make the head coach unhappy, ask you to play as a substitute, reduce your playing time, or even ask you to play a position you are not good at. These things will increase your risks and hurt your draft stock.

If you want to transfer to a new school, you will have to serve as a coach for one year. If you have career prospects, being a coach for one year will save you one year of money. Moreover, there will be more uncertainty when you change to a new team.

Sex, the coach's face when recruiting you and when you join the team are completely different.

The four assistant coaches brought their great learning ability to the Celtics, causing a fierce backlash.

It was Sampson's initiative to continue being a substitute that prevented the conflict from intensifying.

In addition to being Ainge's caddy, Louis is also responsible for developing Sampson's potential.

In his rookie season, Sampson averaged 18 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 3.3 blocks per game. He was the block leader with the least playing time in NBA history.

After intensive training in the offseason, his weight has increased to 112 kilograms, and he can basically adapt to inside confrontation.

Therefore, Louis began to strengthen his inside skills.

Sampson's rebounding is a problem. A player like him is so talented that when he was a student, he could blast his opponent's rebounds without being blocked.

Entering the professional league, a bad-dog insider like Laimbeer can make him unable to get stuck with just one elbow.

In order to help Sampson strengthen this shortcoming, Louis asked someone to help edit the highlight tapes of Moses Malone and Maurice Lucas.

Louie brought Sampson to the room where Fitch usually reviewed tapes to watch the highlight tapes.

He saw the details of Lucas and Malone's position, which were brutal and brutal.

"Didn't you say you want me to become an anti-traditional insider?" Sampson naively thought that if he wanted to be a "killer", he wouldn't have to do his job as an insider.

"Whether you are a traditional post or not, you have to learn to block positions and grab rebounds. This is the bounden duty of the post, and this is true in any era." Louis handed the videotape to Sampson, "You must follow the video every day to learn their cards.

Positioning skills, about positioning, I can only tell you so much, the rest is up to you. Positioning, rebounding, skills are very important, but determination is more important, because the rebound is always there, can you grab it?

, it all depends on whether your heart is strong enough."
