The Rest, Only Noise

"There are only two kinds of players in this world, one is Ralph Sampson and the other is other players!"

Louis did not expect that the legendary phrase of magician kneeling and licking Jordan was used on Sampson in this way.

Sampson deserves it, though.

If Magic praised Jordan in that way to distinguish him from the rest of the players, to show the best certainty in his history, Heinsohn said it all because Sampson is the only player in the world. .

David Robinson, Kevin Garnett, Durant, Anthony Davis... All the insiders who play like guards have a common learning object.

The former Sampson was buried in history. In this life, his career trajectory has been changed by Louis.

In the basketball world of 1984, Sampson was the only five who could handle the ball like a forward, guard the rim like a center, and shoot like a guard.

That's right, there are only two types of players, Sampson and others.

Isaiah Thomas watched the game in silence, he wanted to play, but Louie didn't allow him to destroy Sampson's form, like he was a selfish guy who would take the ball when he saw his teammates were in good shape and didn't want to cooperate Play.

Is he that kind of person? He's a selfish guy, but not a selfish player.

He's stupid in life and smart on the court.

He couldn't possibly spoil Sampson's performance moment. Louie was insulting him by doing so, but Thomas thought to himself that Louie probably wasn't worried that he had spoiled Sampson's good things, and let him sit down for other purposes. .

It's something Thomas has felt once, and now he'll feel it a second time.

Louie drank Coke, Tomjanovich watched anxiously, and he took note of Sampson's offense and offensive tactics on each possession.

"None of his **** are typical 'inside balls'!" Tomjanovich said incredulously, "like a two-meter-two defender!"

Sampson rose up and the arrival of Bird added a reliable spear to the Celtics' perimeter and a player who dominated the ball. At the same time, he was very willing to give the stage to Sampson to play.

The magician tried to cheer himself up several times, but every time he rushed inside, Ranbir stared at him and made a terrible look of "if you dare to come, you will die".

Magic reminded himself to move forward countless times, but when he really hit the inside, he always passed the ball out before Laimbeer's help came.

Passing is the right choice in most situations.

Why does James have the most lore shots in playoff history, and his fans still use his habit of passing the ball to black him? It's not just James' problem, it's a constant problem for players of their type.

The basketball game is different in the eyes of Jordan, Kobe, and James. Jordan has the confidence to tear up anyone in 1V1; Kobe has only two options, 1-on-1 or 1-on-5; in James' view, the game is like a game of chess. Every time he attacks, he will predict the change of the situation in advance, and can Said, his passing is logical, he just knows where the opportunities arise, and if you want him to let go of those good opportunities to achieve personal heroism, you are asking him to violate his own instincts and philosophy of the game. Only in 2018 and very few other games during his long and illustrious career has the irrational side been shown.

Magician had the same problem tonight.

From the player's point of view, Magic's retreat is even more unforgivable. He didn't see a better opportunity, he lost the courage to challenge everything.

Fortunately, Wilkins is braver than him, and he keeps hitting the Celtics' basket. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar kept getting stuck, asking for the ball, sky hook, and the Celtics couldn't defend him.

Magic turned into a passing machine with no offensive threat, but the Lakers' offense didn't fall at all.

90 to 92

The Celtics led by 2 points, and Sampson gave Bird a pick-and-roll and pulled out.

He stopped at the 3-point line and Bird passed the ball over.

"No?" Rambis, who was opposite him, shuddered when he saw him catching the ball from the outside.

Sampson doesn't have 3-point range, that's the consensus.

However, Sampson stood at the top of the arc, tossed the ball, shot, swish!

"Ralph Sampson has scored 28 points, has 11 rebounds and 6 blocks, and what he has done in this game cannot be overstated!"

"When the 7-foot giants play like a 6-foot guard, the Lakers' defense is called Tian Tian's defense, and it's called ground and ground not working!"

95 to 90

Halfway through the fourth quarter, Louie looked back at Isiah Thomas: "Have you had enough rest, Isiah?"

"My shooting will affect Ralph." He also became hypocritical.

"It's okay, he's already turned on the Master." Louie said something that confused Thomas.

Louis continued: "If you only think about your three-pointers, it means that you don't know why I let you sit off the court. In that case, I might as well let you play. Go to the court to find the answer."

Thomas hesitated, he thought he knew the answer, but he didn't dare to say it, he didn't dare to face the answer.

He walked to the sidelines, and the Celtics quickly fouled.

John Paxson went off the court, with 5 points and 2 assists, doing his job well.

"Isaiah, let's leave the forum with 3-0!" Paxson said excitedly.

Thomas nodded lightly, and he walked to the court, and every teammate gave him a high five, except Bird. He also high-fives, but he doesn't come to high-five on purpose, he always goes with the flow.

Louis praised Paxson's performance, and then handed the paper cup in his hand to the other party: "Can you pour me a glass of Coke, thank you."

How dare Paxson not agree.

"Lu, don't you have anything else to explain to Isaiah?" Tomjanovich asked.

Sampson is in hot form. At least tell Thomas to give up the ball, right?

Louie asked with a smile, "Rudy, have you ever seen a perfect team?"

Tomjanovich hesitated for a few seconds. He shook his head and said, "The Blazers in 1977 were very close to this concept, but not close ... Other than that, I have not seen a team closer to perfection."

"You may not believe it," said Louie proudly, "but I have seen it."

And more than one:

The 1996 Bulls will make you understand what it's like to be on kill mode all season with a raging king; 2014's Spurs, you can find another team that exemplifies "failure makes you a better" than them. Better" the whole meaning of the team? The 2017 Warriors, the best team in history on paper; and, the 1981 Celtics. The only team that Louis has witnessed, not from the perspective of fans.

Louie assured Auerbach, and to the Sports Illustrated writers, that he wanted to make this team what it was supposed to be.

The arrogant and ruthless Bird, both selfish and selfless, the ticking time bomb Isaiah Thomas, Laimbeer who only doesn't make trouble when he sleeps, Sampson who has great talent and desires to change the game of basketball, and Max who is unwilling to be a substitute Ware...Any coach can lead this team to a championship, the problem is the process, whether it's hard or beautiful, beautiful and enjoyable or painful and struggling.

Louie could have been a Tyronn Lue and Mike Brown-style coach, putting aside conflicts, setting goals, and coaxing the core, but he chose another path, a path that won't allow you to turn back as long as you hit the road.

If he fails, he'll be nailed to the pillar of shame, charged with sabotaging the Celtic chemistry and beating it to a pulp.

If he makes it, he won't be remembered, time will forget him, sports writers will double down on all the Celtics players, and he's just a 24-year-old, sitting on his head, just for having a great team in his hands Great part of the head coach.

Louie solved 99% of the problems, there was only one thing left.

Thomas and his wobbly, restless heart.

He was jealous of Bird, he longed for attention, and he thought it was unfair that he had given so much in silence without a few words of praise. In all fairness, his thoughts are excusable, absolutely no problem, that is human nature.

Louie can't change the general environment, he can't make Boston reporters suddenly change their minds, and divide the effort to praise the great white hope to the niggers, so he can only change Thomas. Words and deeds are useless, crude reprimands are useless, and even Russell's enlightenment is useless.

Well, if that doesn't work, let Thomas keep his eyes open on his teammates.

You are not alone in making sacrifices without being remembered or praised.

In half a quarter, Sampson broke out the energy that has been hidden for many years, proving to people that he is the one who sacrificed the most for the Celtics.

After Thomas came on, Sampson gave him the ball, gave him the pick-and-roll, and returned to his original role again.

Thomas took the ball in his hand, returned it to Sampson, and shouted, "You play, Ralph!"

In the second half of the fourth quarter of Game 3 of the 1984 NBA Finals, the Celtics played their best half of the season so far.

The movement of the ball, the movement of people, the cooperation between players.

Bird's pass was as beautiful as a gorgeous movement. Thomas's ability to tear the ball was so strong that the Lakers couldn't react. John Long's three-point threat deeply troubled the Lakers.

In the end, Sampson became the unsolvable Achilles heel of the Lakers.

If a defender came to guard him, he would directly start and dry his hands, the effect would be like standing on the second floor and throwing a stone into a swimming pool; if he was defending him from the inside, he would attack with the ball like a defender, get rid of it gracefully, and hit the inside. Can also use a variety of outrageous defenders to score the ball.

Abdul-Jabbar is too old, Rambis is too slow, and none of the other Lakers inside and wings can match him.

The Celtics had great chemistry on the court, while the Lakers fell into deep self-doubt and collapsed on the court.

117 to 104

"3 to 0!" Heinsohn exclaimed cheerily, "The Lakers did a great job, but it's a pity that they're facing the greatest team in history, and this Celtics are invincible. ! No team came close to them!"

Louis sat off the field, as if unaware that he had completed a work that went down in history.

He let out a light breath: "These bastards~www.wuxiaspot.com~ are finally looking good."

Tomjanovich has never underestimated Louis because of his age, but this year, he has been surprised by Louis again and again.

The 24-year-old deeply understands the steps that drive the team to perfection, and he pinpoints the inconsistencies and problematic players on the team and spends a season trying to resolve them.

It wasn't until Game 3 of the Finals that he finished all his work.

Celtic stepped into perfection, leading 3-0 with a title in sight, and Louie was relieved and his pressure was released.

Tomjanovich also aims to become a professional coach. He hopes that he can at least be like Louis in the future, and promote a team with superior strength, but he does not know how great he can be. Perfection.

As a coach, I have no regrets to coach such a team in my life.

But this is only the first year of Louie's coaching career.
