The Rest, Only Noise

John Patterson/Long, Bird, Ainge, Laimbeer, Louie can be sure that only the Celtics can come up with five players who can score from beyond the arc at once.

It is very rare to have one outside fort on other teams.

Now that Pat Riley wants to control both the paint and the 3-point line, and their defense can really do it, Louie has to figure out a way to let one defense get out of hand and radiate to the other.

Louie doesn't believe that there is a team that can control the outside and inside, which is unreasonable.

In the second quarter, the Celtics kicked off.

Paxson dribbled the ball into the frontcourt solidly and gave the ball to Bird in the high post.

Bird winked, and Laimbeer came up to pick and roll. This is equivalent to a pick-and-roll from the inside to the inside. At this time, the Lakers' inside lineup is Bob McAdoo and Kurt Rambis, and Abdul-Jabbar went down to rest.

McAdoo and Rambis, one black and one white, but the strange thing is that although these two big men can pull out and shoot, as a white man, Rambis is much tougher than McAdoo.

He took the initiative to guard Bird, and when he faced the pick-and-roll and needed to count on McAdoo, the latter's defense was usually weak.

Suddenly, Ranbir helped Bird block someone, and then immediately bounced to the outside line.

Seeing Laimbeer going to the outside line, both Rambis and McAdoo thought they didn't need to go out to defend, and wanted to flank Bird on the spot.

All Bird had to do was throw the ball to Laimbeer behind him.

Beyond the three-point line at the top of the arc, Laimbeer caught the ball and threw a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

27 to 27

"I love your **** defense!" Ranbir sneered.

Bird saw the confused faces of Rambis and McAdoo, and said a cold joke: "Don't be afraid, he can score at most 1 goal in 100 goals with this kind of ball."

Off the court for the Lakers, Pat Riley felt nervous when he saw Laimbeer make a three-pointer.

He can't help but get nervous. The numbers show Laimbeer can shoot threes, Bird can shoot threes, and three other guys on the Celtics can shoot threes.

Originally they only needed to focus on two three-pointers, but now each of them can shoot three-pointers, and the defense is much more difficult.

The magician wanted to forcibly push the positional battle into a fast break.

He dribbled the ball to the front court with great strides, and Zhang Shou made another iconic one-handed qigong push pass.

This kind of passing method is fancy and fancy, and the turnover rate is a bit high.

The magician showed a mistake.

This is the second time Louis has seen such a mistake from a magician tonight.

The Lakers' fast break is invincible, but their turnovers per game are also high.

Freehand passing like Magic is undoubtedly an important reason why they are ranked fourth in the league in turnovers per game.

Too waves!

This time, it was not bad. His teammates didn't catch the ball and went out of bounds. If he fell to the ground and was picked up by the Celtics, he would definitely hit him with a fierce counterattack.

Louis walked to the sidelines, stretched out his right hand and spread his fingers apart.

Paxson saw his gestures and followed his instructions to call for tactics.

Another high post, Bird got the ball, put his back to Rambis, and Laimbeer came over to pick and roll.

The Lakers thought they were repeating their old tricks, but they didn't notice that Ainge, who was on the weak side, swam in like a snake.

Bo De was clearly on his back, but it seemed as if he had locked Angie's position early, and he threw the ball behind his head without seeing anyone.

Ainge makes an easy layup.

"What can you do with this kind of ball? Larry is so good!" Heinsohn praised. "He's the best basketball player I've ever seen!"

"Moreover, since the opening, Larry's presence is obviously greater than that of the magician."

This may be the most unwilling comment that Magician wants to hear. He dribbles the ball from the backcourt. Although he has the ability to shoot from the three-point line, the Celtics' defense against him is mainly to limit breakthroughs.

McAdoo came up to the pick-and-roll, and John Lang circled the screen without thinking.

Magic makes a pull-up jumper high on the left wing.

Blacksmithing, however, one of the major drawbacks of this lineup on the Celtics court is that the rebounding is not strong enough.

Rambis and Laimbeer are both white insiders, but the rebounding area has the style of a black basketball collar. Every time he grabs a rebound, he seems to be desperate.

He grabbed the offensive rebound, and Magic came inside and stumbled against Danny Ainge.

The teammates passed the ball, and the Magician hit his body and scored.

29 to 29

Bird sends a long pass from the backcourt.

John Paxson had a chance to break, but was caught up by Dominic Wilkins for a pegboard cap.

The ball flew from the restricted area to the perimeter and was picked up by John Long.

At this time, the Lakers players were all under the basket, and Lang was left alone.

In the blink of an eye, Byron Scott ran to him, but it was too late, and Lang aimed at the rim and made an open 3-pointer.

32 to 29

The Lakers' strategy is failing.

They tried to use their size and athleticism to maximize the defensive intensity of the outside and inside, forcing the Celtics to use the mid-range decisive victory. If the Celtics throw a lot of mid-range shots, the efficiency is definitely not guaranteed. At that time, every defensive rebound the Lakers won will evolve into showtime.

Pat Riley's abacus is good, and he wants to completely suppress the Celtics' offense, but underestimates the flexibility of the Celtics' offensive system.

He couldn't have imagined that Louis could make five three-pointers.

The Celtics' defense is also more targeted than the Lakers. Although Magic has a strong personal ability, he shoulders the responsibility of leading the Lakers' offense.

Therefore, he cannot make decisions arbitrarily.

Everything he does is responsible for the entire team.

As I said before, the Lakers can play a ten-man rotation.

The worst players in the ten-man rotation can start in weak teams. Bass's ability to use money makes these people willing to substitute, but how to make them happy requires the joint efforts of the coaching staff and magician.

Magic has sacrificed a lot of individual offense to activate the team, and virtually, lost a lot of opportunities to exercise offensive ability.

Therefore, Louie let the players on the field ignore the Lakers' pick-and-roll, switch a lot of defenses, force the Lakers to one-on-one, and completely let go of their three-pointers.

After switching defenses, first block the movement of the ball, force a stop if you can, and don’t make him too comfortable if you can’t stop. The player without the ball needs to find the opponent to fight against, and the defensive intensity should not be small.

The Lakers have three or four heads-up players on the court, and they all need magicians to deliver ammo.

This round, Magic passed the ball to McAdoo, who helped the Celtics rebuild with flesh and blood.

In fact, m-l · Carr is also the reconstruction of the Celtics. The Celtics had to pay the Pistons to sign him. No one thought that this compensation would turn into a compensation transaction. Afterwards, the compensation needs to be put in quotation marks to be interpreted correctly.

Future fans probably won't be able to imagine McAdoo's place and role throughout Celtics history.

He symbolized the lowest point for the Celtics in the 1970s, but he himself was a decent offensive superstar.

As one of the early beneficiaries of the rising tide of NBA salary, his selfishness has not been restrained by the current situation. From the late 1860s to the mid-1870s, league salaries rose six-fold, thanks not only to the bidding war between the NBA and the ABA, but also to television's belief that basketball would become a "hot sport" in the future. The rhythm of basketball is more in tune with younger audiences than baseball.

Within a few years, star salaries have skyrocketed, from around $75,000 to around $600,000. For a time, the salary of a star is equivalent to 4-5 times that of a coach. Making big money makes many stars less eager to win, and suddenly a star like McAdoo's priority is avoiding injury, the only thing standing between them and their wealth. Wealth, in turn, makes players start to inflate themselves and lose their minds, so they lose their fighting spirit prematurely, and they decline before reaching their due peak.

McAdoo became one of the players blamed for his waning style of play, concerned only with staying rich.

It is impossible for such a player to become a Celtic player under normal conditions, but who would have thought? Auerbach was unknowingly told the team traded three first-rounders for McAdoo. Think of Louie's reaction to having two first-round picks for Larry Nance. The deal almost cost him his life.

The time when McAdoo put on a Celtics jersey was something no Bostonians would look back on. As a result, people have also selectively forgotten his "significant contribution" to the Celtics' brilliant '80s.

McAdoo took the ball with his back and wanted to force Laimbeer. His body was no problem, but he had to turn over and let his teammates' cardiac arrest turn over and lean back.

"boom!"

McAdoo's offense hit the neck of the basket and sent the Celtics counterattack.

Heinsohn couldn't help taunting: "M2 appeared!"

1 Although the description is a bit exaggerated, as long as you have seen the collection of magicians, or the famous fantasy sports high school inspirational animation "Kuroko's Basketball", you should be deeply impressed by this one-handed push with special effects. Kuroko's push pass is several times stronger than Magician's. For teammates who can push directly from the backcourt to the midfield position, Magician's one-hand push pass is usually pushed from the top of the arc to the basket. teammate.

2 McAdoo's English name is mcadoo, and Celtics fans don't like him, so they gave him the nickname "m".
