The Rest, Only Noise

Isiah Thomas scored 15 points alone in the second quarter. Later, he annoyed the Lakers, and his defensive moves became bigger. Almost every breakthrough would be knocked to the ground, but his opponent just couldn't stop it. He put the ball in the basket.

Louis could see that beyond the three-point line, Thomas was just a generalist.

Inside the 3-point line, he's a killer who can score from anywhere.

Louie has coached so many games, and no player has ever seen a player with more ball-handling threat than Thomas. In other words, the Celtics not only have the deadliest pitcher in active service, but also the strongest ball handler in active service.

More importantly, both men have a selfless heart to suppress their own performance for the team.

Only the skin color and the prejudice of the media can isolate them from working together.

62 to 54

At halftime, the Lakers trailed the Celtics by 8 points.

Their defense was very targeted, trying to control the penalty area and the three-point line, but unfortunately it was broken by Louis's five-three-point lineup, and then they continued to charge by Thomas' individual combat ability.

This contest in the first half was enough for the Lakers' coaching staff to correctly recognize the strength of the Celtics.

For them, trying to use defense to limit the Celtics' performance is a fantasy and unrealistic.

"This is an encounter, we have to fight face to face to know the strength of the opponent."

Pat Riley looked elegant and spoke easily into the microphone.

"Also, I believe that the Celtics still have some energy left, just like the Lakers in the first half, not the full force of the Lakers."

Unlike Riley, Louie is not cooperative at all.

"Of course we went all out, don't you think Isaiah didn't go all out in the second quarter? If he can score 15 points in a quarter without going all out, does he need 30 points in a quarter if he goes all out? We really did our best." Louis exaggeratedly said, "Not a drop of oil is left."

After speaking, he greeted the audience and walked slowly towards the player tunnel.

The dressing room had a pungent stench of sweat and a mixture of blacks and whites, no better than a country latrine.

"I always knew that Isaiah could play, but I didn't expect him to play so well, everyone, give him a little applause." Louie said.

Ranbir took the lead, a bit mean and insincere, but clapped loudly.

Thomas' expression has become relaxed, not as tight as when he was killing all sides on the court.

"You must have felt it too. The Lakers didn't act real tonight. The white-blind LOGO man cried to the camera and complained about how he was beaten by the older generation of Celtics."

Louie's jokes amused everyone.

"Although their offense was fierce, we didn't see the No-Maj regularly turning the positional battle into a fast break."

"Although their defensive intensity is high, they are not a very defensive team."

"Although Karim is the core attacker in positional warfare, he got a bit too much ball possession tonight."

Louie makes several points clear.

"This is all a performance of hidden tricks. Since our opponents don't take this game seriously, let's relax and do things that we wouldn't do on weekdays."

Louie took the tactical pen, put Bird in the high post, and then said to Sampson: "Ralph, I want you to get the ball at the free throw line, let Larry give you the pick and roll, and attack their basket directly."

"Where is that tall guy playing directly with the ball?" This is beyond M.L. Carr's understanding.

Although Sampson has the tactical support of high catches, he tends to shoot high jumpers instead of holding the ball.

Today, Louie gave him a chance.

"MLC, don't use your image to stereotype our Ralph." Louie said jokingly, "He's going to be the man who changed the game of basketball!"

Thomas was a little surprised. After he played such a wonderful one-quarter performance, Louie didn't make any arrangements for his threat with the ball.

"Larry, once Ralph's offense gets thwarted, you take over the ball, you control the offense, play number two, L-play, or you see any **** in a purple jersey upset, just **** him. "

When the Celtics came out of the locker room, the Lakers had been warming up for more than a minute.

It seems that they did not make other special arrangements.

Louis deliberately went to the midfield to greet Riley: "Pat, is the audience in the garden too enthusiastic, your players are so frightened that their legs are weak, so you only dare to pass the ball to Karim?"

The way Louie "says hello" is always so impressive.

Riley looked at Louie's provocation calmly, "Coach Lu, stop gossip, it's never wrong to pass the ball to the person with the most certainty."

Louis had heard Riley's name for a long time, and thought he must have a good opinion, but he did not expect to say such Tyronn Lu's words.

"Then guess, will I let Isiah continue to attack in the second half?" Louis asked.

Riley said quietly: "This is your internal affairs, not mine."

"Well, since you don't want to know, then I have to tell you about it." Louie said secretly like a whistleblower, "Reassure Erwin and the pockmarked Johnson that Isiah will not Attack again."

The Celtics, who had the right to start the third quarter, played according to Louis' arrangement as soon as they came up.

Sampson got the ball from the free throw line, and the Lakers let Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Kurt Rambis play inside. Abdul-Jabbar didn't like to leave the basket, so Rambis came with him.

As a result, Bird came over and gave Sampson a pick-and-roll.

This is going to blind the eyes of the Lakers players. What they didn't expect is that Sampson used Bird's pick-and-roll to drive the ball into the paint like a small forward and challenge Kareem's defense with a throw. .

Who could have imagined what a 7-foot-4 center could throw off the dribble?

This is a technique used by a small man to challenge a big man. Sampson suddenly came here, and Abdul-Jabbar was unstoppable. What was even more incredible was that his throw hit the high-playing board and fell into the basket from the center.

"Damn it!" Cowens yelled. "How did he have that?"

Louie asked with a smile: "Dahong, haven't you heard the story of him playing from position 1 to position 5 in school?"

"Not a legend?"

"Not really."

Before the start of the season, Sampson had complained to Louie about his low offensive tactical status.

At that time, Louie told him that it was not that he was not good enough, but that Bird and Thomas were better than him as the core of the offense.

This sentence still applies today.

He's very aware of the value of Sampson's size, shooting ability, and incredible ball-handling ability, but compared to Bird and Thomas, the margin of error for him is too low.

His shooting, finishing at the rim, and threat to the rim are all built to score. It's an amazing scoring machine, but if you want him to support a team's offense, his passing and support There is a clear lack of ability.

Moreover, the taller the player, the greater the consumption in the game. If the proportion of offense undertaken is too large, there is no way to guarantee the efficiency at the critical moment.

But if you put Sampson on a weak team, there is nothing wrong with building an offensive system around him.

Celtic This is pure blissful trouble.

Louie asked Sampson to show off his ball-handling offense, first to confuse the Lakers, second to see how well he played Kareem, and third to let Thomas know that he was not the only one who sacrificed for the team.

Although he restrained his offensive desire for the team, Sampson has never had the opportunity to show his offense with the ball since he entered the Celtics.

Back on the defensive end, Sampson took the initiative to guard Kareem.

Ranbir gladly confronted Rambis.

Abdul-Jabbar slapped Sampson with a stinky face.

Sampson held his breath and pressed his left shoulder firmly.

This made Abdul-Jabbar have to turn to face the basket for a face to the basket hook.

Sampson didn't forget a word of Thurmond's instructions. He followed Kareem's footsteps and violently disrupted the bald old comrade's center of gravity.

"B~~~~"

When the whistle blew, Kareem was distracted by Sampson's foul and sat down.

Sampson raised his hand and claimed his third foul.

"Don't touch me!" Kareem glared at Sampson dissatisfied.

Sampson, not a bicker, looked at Kareem in silence. On the other hand, Ranbir couldn't help his desire to humiliate others, and sneered: "How about every time you make a move in the future, Ralph and I will kneel and look at it, okay?"

"What did you say?" Abdul-Jabbar rasped.

Ranbir is a vicious dog with the words "I'm not happy to beat me up": "I said, if you don't like being touched so much, don't play basketball, you're an old man like you, all your hair is falling out. This is pretending to me, believe it or not, how many bones will I break in the next round?"

Ranbir succeeds in turning a scolding battle into a conflict.

Abdul-Jabbar rushed forward and pressed his chest against him, about to scold him.

Unexpectedly, Ranbir, a top-tier beast, decisively pushed Kareem away: "If you don't dare to do it, don't chirp!"

Then, Abdul-Jabbar threw a punch.

"Why the **** is it fighting again? Do you have any **** qualities?" Louie looked stupid~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Who the **** is going to teach that vicious dog how to be a good dog? "

Tomjanovich was about to crack, and he felt that Louis had something to do with Ranbir becoming this virtue.

This elegant person who keeps his mouth shut and "fuck" is embarrassed to say that others are of low quality...

If Louie knew that Tomjanovich was entertaining him like this, he would have turned the **** away in minutes.

Abdul-Jabbar punched Ranbir, but missed.

Ranbir is the best in the league in his ability to fight, and his instinct to hide his fists is also the best in the league, but he suffered from Sampson behind him. Kareem's arms span was too long, and he was inexplicably punched.

Teammates from both sides leaned over one after another, some to help, some to persuade, and some to help in the name of persuading.

When Pat Riley saw this scene, his first reaction was to think that Louie was deliberately causing trouble for the players.

He looked at Louie angrily, just in time to see Louie snarling at Sampson: "Ralph, are you a **** man, don't you fight back when you get beaten up? Don't go out and say I know you!"
