The Rest, Only Noise

,

The Mavericks are a team that lacks bright spots.

From the data that Louie is familiar with, they don't have much top-notch.

Whether it's turnover rate, control opponent turnover rate, free throw rate, true shooting percentage, offensive rebounds and defensive rebounds... A lot of data, they are only the middle and bottom of the league.

But they are the second place in the Midwest Division, and if they really don't have strengths, they definitely won't get there.

Louie still got some numbers to understand the team.

Their age structure is relatively young, with an average age of 24.3 years, only the Bulls and Pacers have an average age younger than them.

Second, while their offense is inefficient at converting to free throws, their opponents have the third-highest free throw percentage in the league.

What does this data show? their aggressiveness.

Young people are frizzy and easy to foul, which is understandable.

With a turnover rate of 12.6 percent, only two teams in the league have done a better job of controlling their turnovers.

Seventh in the league in effective field goal percentage.

These data, fed back to Louie, are such information: the defensive end is aggressive, and because the team is young, it can maintain high-intensity data for a long time, with high tactical literacy, good chemical reaction, and will not make risky passing attempts , so their error rate is low.

And this advantage will be directly fed back to their offensive efficiency.

As a result, their effective field goal percentage is among the best in the league.

In the era of weak three-point line, a high effective hit rate may not directly reflect a team's offense, but an offense with a low effective hit rate must have problems.

To deal with the Mavericks, Louie changed the starting lineup.

Laimbeer was removed from the starting lineup by him.

Although he still can't shoot three-pointers, Maxwell, who has greater athletic ability and defensive area, entered the starting lineup and once again swayed two forward positions with Bird.

"What should be said, I've said it before, and now I'll stress it again." Louie asked the starter to get close to him and said, "Boldly expand the defense, don't let them make comfortable high jumpers, pay attention to the lead and defend the ball handler, Keep putting pressure on them!"

Louie's eyes swept around the starters.

"do you understand?"

"Understood, coach."

No matter how condescending Louie is at ordinary times, as long as he comes to the game, his players always know what attitude to show.

In the opening ball, Sampson had a nearly effortless victory over Bill Garnett (billpf) who had nothing to do with the guy you thought.

Isaiah Thomas used a quick-running strategy to accelerate past Braddavispg and miss a shot from outside the paint.

Sampson, who followed up from behind, grabbed the offensive rebound effortlessly, and the second attack was completed.

2 to 0

"Isiah, keep an eye on him!" Louie shouted.

Thomas did not forget Louis's instructions. After finishing the first goal, he stayed in the frontcourt to press Davis.

Louie doesn't trust Thomas' defense, and pressing Davis in the frontcourt is one of his established strategies against the Mavericks.

Because the Mavericks are a young team, the entire starting lineup has shooting ability, therefore, an organizer is needed to activate them.

Davis is that candidate.

This person made his debut in the Lakers in his early years. He was not reused because of his bad relationship with the coaching staff and the most unoffensive person, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. It was not until the Mavericks entered the NBA that he got a chance to show his talent.

He is a typical white point guard with good vision and reliable shooting. It is impossible for Thomas to press him to death, but he does not have enough explosiveness to blast the latter's defense. Therefore, take a frontcourt press on him. , is a less threatening but extremely harassing option.

Dick Motta narrowed his eyes when he saw the Celtics' opening hand.

"Looks like that guy is not as stupid as I thought," Mota said.

Bob Weiss, Motta's assistant and the Mavs' only assistant, said in surprise: "He seems to understand the value of Brad to our entire offense."

"It's not difficult to understand, even the incompetent coach can see the value of Brad." Motta said arrogantly, "It's like a student who prepares the homework that the teacher may have to teach in advance, I don't think What can that change."

Seems like what Mota said, nothing has changed.

Davis was pushed upfield by Thomas and fed a low pass to Rolando Blackman (sg).

Before Nowitzki, the best player in Mavericks history made a rollover jumper.

2 to 2

This scene is neither unusual nor unexpected for Louis.

The Mavericks' offensive literacy and basic shooting skills are excellent.

Take their starters, the lowest free throw percentage is Pat Cummings, who as a center, has a 74% free throw percentage.

Everyone else's free throw percentage is always above 80%.

The free throw feel is a reflection of the shooting feel to a certain extent. Therefore, Louie did not hesitate to remove the tried-and-true strategy of stacking the restricted area and placing the pockets to let the opponent shoot. Instead, he pressed the opponent's attackers and forced them to execute difficult shots.

Blackman's ball is beautiful, but is it sustainable? Louis was skeptical.

The Mavericks' defense can be described in four words, vicious.

For them, it is reasonable to defend oneself and throw fists and elbows during the period.

Before the malicious foul was introduced, the conditions for using technical fouls were very harsh. Therefore, as long as the home referee believed that they were not intentional, their actions would be called ordinary fouls at most.

Those who can be called ordinary fouls are more obvious malicious actions. Under normal circumstances, the referees don't even look at malicious actions.

Thomas was just about to attack with the ball, and the fans booed everywhere.

"Larry's servant!"

Fans of this notoriously racist city instinctively know how to irritate Thomas.

Thomas was stimulated by another flip and missed.

Louie watched in silence at Thomas' poor offensive selection, and the rebound was protected by the Mavericks.

The Mavericks' two ugly white insiders, Garnett and Cummings, although they don't look very good, have a set of control over defensive rebounds.

They scored defensive rebounds and found Davis for the first time.

Davis immediately launched a counterattack.

The advantage of the young team is fully reflected here.

They run fast, and despite not being very athletic, the counter-attack is as powerful as the top teams.

Davis saw the lob at a glance and sent the ball out.

Garnett, who followed up from the backcourt to the frontcourt, jumped into the air and caught the ball for a layup.

4 to 2

"Thank you, Thomas!"

"Larry's servant, thank you!"

K.C. Jones said angrily: "These people are bastards!"

"If he can't even stand this little interference, let's trade him as soon as possible." Louis didn't intend to blame the fans at the scene.

Thomas is a mysterious and unknown time bomb, everyone knows he is jealous of Bird, but he never shows it in Bird's face.

Bird has repeatedly claimed to the media that Thomas is the best teammate he has ever met.

This kind of remark is similar to the boss praising the second child in the team. It is interesting to outsiders, and it is hard to say what Thomas, who has a high heart, thinks.

"Isiah, can you play well?" Louie asked from the sidelines, "If you want to make another shot that I can hit and miss, just get out of here, okay?"

His tone was gentle, and Davis, who was opposite Thomas, was the first time a coach could threaten a player with such a soft tone.

Thomas didn't even look at Louie. A few seconds later, he performed his famous fingertip dribble. Davis only heard a few bangs in front of him, and his defense was pierced by the smiling assassin.

It is expected that Davis can't restrain Thomas' breakthrough, and the Mavericks' backup plan is to make up for the defense.

The candidate for the defense is Thomas's best friend, Mark Aguirre.

This person was the No. 1 overall pick in 1980, and Thomas was the No. 2 overall pick that year.

Well, it looks like these two have the potential to play brother basketball.

Aguirre didn't show mercy because of his personal friendship with Thomas. His defense was quick and accurate, but unfortunately, his best friend, the Smiling Assassin, was better at passing the ball.

Thomas passed the ball into the corner almost the second after Aguirre chose to help.

Outside the three-point line in the bottom corner on the right, John Long received the ball for a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

"Don't miss that guy's three!" Mota yelled.

Hearing the movement on the other side, Louie laughed jokingly: "Why? Why do these old coaches always make changes loudly after John's three-pointer punishes them? Why don't they make arrangements in advance? A fluke?"

"The three-pointer has only been around in the NBA for five years, and Coach Motta has been in the business for decades, and for more than half of that time, his basketball world was without the three-pointer."

The words of k.c can explain the indifference of old coaches such as Mota to the three-point shot.

In Louie's view, this is no different from those in the future who don't understand QR codes or how to make mobile payments. However, in reality, most of these old people will get help, and on the court, without the help of family, friends, and enthusiastic passers-by, Mota is a stubborn old man who can only see three points after being severely educated Wire.
