The Rest, Only Noise

In August, IBM released its first personal computer, the IBM Model 5150.

At $1,450, it was expensive, but Louis got it right away.

Although there is a big gap between operation and future notebooks, computers are definitely better than humans when it comes to calculating all kinds of data.

This first personal computer was limited, and if you wanted to have fun, it would be a waste of money to buy it, but Louis was for work, and it was very convenient.

Auerbach disliked Louie's reliance on tools to generate data.

Louie has no intention of convincing his stubborn Conservative Party to accept the baptism of high technology and actuarial data.

The data, while not telling the whole story, can explain individual problems. For example, the efficiency value can reflect the player's style of play, the win share value can reflect the overall value of the player in the team, the defense win share value can identify the defensive shortcomings in the team... and so on, once such data is complete, then Can use data to find the main weakness of the opponent.

Two teams with similar strengths are going to play a game, and the winner is which side has the greater impact on each other due to their absolute shortcomings.

In last season's Eastern Conference finals, the Celtics' absolute shortcoming was that their flanks were far less athletic than the 76ers. The 76ers, on the other hand, resorted to shrinking defenses, choking defenses with unique flanks and interior defenses, and forcing out a lot of counterattacks to increase the rhythm of the game, thereby covering up their deficiencies in positional warfare.

In November, the Celtics once again played the league's first record.

While Louie's system was overthrown, the Celtics were too strong on paper.

Even with a time-out guy coaching, the winds of the game are decided by the players themselves, and the results won't be any worse than they are now.

Louie doesn't help Fitch anymore.

In order to force him to do things for himself, Fitch sent him out to scout other teams.

Louie readily accepted, explained something to Sampson and left the team.

Throughout December, Louis seemed to travel around the United States.

The focus is on the Lakers.

Since the start of the new season, the Lakers have not been smooth.

Paul Westhead's tactical problems were overshadowed by Magic's 3-0 in the first round last season that cost the Lakers the semifinals.

At that time, Magic was only back, and Westhead did not insist on Showtime in order to let him integrate into the team as soon as possible.

The Lakers' game turned into a boring positional, slow-paced offense.

This style of play caused a lot of complaints within them, and no one liked it except Kareem. Because of this system, Abdul-Jabbar gets the ball no matter what.

Magic's big contract further tore the team apart.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was almost traded to the Knicks, his teammates were jealous of his big contract, the head coach was stubborn, and Magic hated this "jealousy".

The most influential person in Westhead's slow-paced offensive system is Magic.

He can no longer handle the ball as he wants, he can no longer push the fast break, and he has to give the ball to the low post every time in the half and let Abdul-Jabbar create it.

Louie watched two Lakers games at Forum Arena.

"Not angry."

"There are no high fives among the players."

Magic and his teammates have almost zero communication, except for Michael Cooper, no one is willing to cooperate with him.

Louie couldn't believe this team could still dominate the '80s.

Because in his opinion, the magician is facing a dead end, his teammates do not like him, the coach responds to the background of the big era, is stubborn, and completely ignores the rationality of the system.

Louie has watched a lot of teams lately, and he's noticed that not just the Celtics, but other teams have also added their own assistants.

Ironically, it may be Louis himself who is driving this trend.

The decision in the Eastern Conference finals last season made Louie famous at the coaching level. At the championship celebration, Auerbach pushed him out again, confirming his contribution from an official level.

By the fourth game, the Celtics were already on the verge of annihilation.

As a result, at the beginning of the fifth game, they changed their strategy and pulled back three games in a row. Louis can find any command shots in the game.

An assistant coach can play such a large effect, which makes other teams choose to expand their own coaching staff.

A large number of academic assistants poured into the league, bringing a strict defensive system and offensive tactics.

What happens in the end? The defensive system of each team has been upgraded in an all-round way, and the NBA has moved from the monotonous man-to-man, and the brutal pattern of placing a large number of personnel in the paint area to superimpose grinding and confrontation, to an "orderly defensive formation, carefully designed local traps and orderly". A new era of defensive echo'.

This is equivalent to giving a bunch of hooligans a culture.

The NBA has thus become a jumper league.

Well, the viewing is reduced.

Only the shooting game is enjoyable, and Louis, who has come from 2020, has a deep understanding of it.

Hey, when will Bird and the Magician save the alliance?

In the case of a large increase in NBA assistant coaches, the authority of the head coach has also been improved. Last season's playoffs were rare, full of coaching art.

The Kings and Rockets in the West used the correct strategy to help the team go up one after another. Fitch in the East was in the impression of the general public. Phenomenon.

NBA coaches are suddenly like college coaches who can dominate everything.

With the help of academy assistants, they frantically draw half-understood tactics whenever they enter a timeout, like staying up late poring over game tapes and talking about sports-savvy, self-righteous TV stars.

There are two famous TV star coaches in the East, one is Bill Fitch and the other is Knicks coach Hubie Brown.

Brown enjoyed the New York spotlight, and when Louie watched the Knicks, he found that Brown was sometimes all about show, not coaching.

As long as he's on camera, he'll put on a "come and see me" demeanor, followed by exaggerated facial expressions and tactical rhetoric that the Knicks don't understand.

Coaches' self-awareness is skyrocketing. The problem is that players are no longer the scolding kids in school. Their self-awareness also grows with age.

These era backgrounds allow Louis to understand and accept the story of what happened in Los Angeles.

Westhead was playing with fire, Magic endured silently, and no other Lakers player dared to stand up and blatantly violate the former's rule.

The young magician was not as patient as Louis had imagined.

At the end of the month, he clashed with Westhead during the game and then made a public exit.

He ran into reporters and expressed his anger that he wasn't happy at all with the Lakers.

"I want to be traded."

"Are you serious, Erwin?"

"Yes, you can put that in the news."

The day after Magic issued the statement, Jerry Buss fired Paul Westhead for lame reasons and promoted assistant Pat Riley as head coach and Jerry West as offensive coach.

At the time of the incident, Louie was in New York watching "Hu Bing Bau" Brown's monkey show.

The most interesting story happened. He played the legendary sixth game of the finals in his rookie season. He was elected as the FMVP and became the darling of Los Angeles. In the second season, he was plagued by injuries. Kill the season with one record and three non-sticks.

During the offseason, the boss directly offered him a big contract that shocked the sports world. He became the target of public criticism again. The big brother was so angry that he applied for a trade. Talk to him.

In the new season, the team's locker room naturally has problems. The head coach has no idea of ​​​​improving the problem. He insists on being the team's master, and step by step detonates the young man who is loved by the boss. He offered to be traded, and the owner fired the head coach.

In this way, this 22-year-old genius who has walked into heaven, fell into hell, and then fell into eighteen layers of **** by public opinion during the season, was called the guy who saved the NBA by later generations, and became the 1981 genius. The greedy, willful, hateful, ill-intentioned, devilish youth who "will never do great things in the future" and "will make Bass lose everything" in the American population.

"Does every facade of the Lakers have to be a copy of 'Nirvana'?" Louis couldn't help but complain.

Louis had been on a business trip for several months, and by the time he returned to Boston, it was early February 1982.

During this time, his reconnaissance report was faxed to Fitch.

He sent back the basic information, and he kept some additional discoveries and small details.

Fitch can get a detailed scouting report, but he doesn't get more from that report than he sees on the video.

Louie chose to scout for himself. He ran around and watched almost every team's game.

Just about to return to the team and continue to fish, by the way to see how Sampson has progressed in the past few months, but got an unexpected situation.
