The Rest, Only Noise

The game entered the second quarter, Louie let Bird lead the second unit, Sampson and Thomas down to rest.

In addition to Bird, the second team included Gerald Henderson, M.L. Carr, Maxwell and Laimbeer.

If Maxwell is replaced by Sampson, this is the best defensive lineup the Celtics theoretically have.

This lineup relies heavily on Bird on offense. On defense, every position is good. The only problem is rim protection. Although Sampson has a terrifying ability to protect the rim, there is no other threat besides him. 's basket guard.

26 to 22

The Celtics led by 4 points. As soon as the second quarter came up, the Lakers also let Magic lead the team. If he was compared to ADC, Michael Cooper was his assistant.

In this section, the Lakers relied on Cooper's two outside shots to open the situation.

Cooper hits a long-range mid-range shot, followed by an unguarded 3-pointer.

The Lakers didn't do a good job of defending the Celtics, and Laimbeer responded with a low jumper, coupled with Bird's 3-pointer after passing Cooper on the outside.

The two sides played a wave of 5 to 5 offensive.

31 to 27

Cooper's shooting consistency couldn't match Bird's, and after a while, he was hammering.

Bird's desire to perform is strong. He saw the downturn of the magician, and he knew very well that this was the best time for him to take revenge.

The 1979 NCAA Finals was the most painful loss of his life, and Magic was the strongest competitor in his life.

He didn't like the articles the media did between the two of them, but he also admitted that the magician was his nemesis.

In the face of an old enemy, you have to show your best performance.

Henderson made a sharp drive to the basket and missed the shot.

There were three Lakers in the basket to protect the rebound, but Bird had to go to the middle position to grab the offensive rebound, and then score in front of the three of them.

33 to 27

The next round, Cooper missed a long shot, and Bob McAdoo grabbed an offensive rebound and scored a second offense.

The Celtics also missed the positional battle. Karl had a stinky mouth but no good hands, and shot iron.

The opponent strikes iron, which is the Lakers' favorite.

ShowTime comes as soon as the rebound is held by Magic.

But they had a hard time, Magic couldn't get the rebound, and Bird was as good as Moses Malone on the offensive glass at this point. He's not as fast as Malone, and he doesn't like hand-to-hand combat as much as Malone, and he doesn't have the physical quality of the latter. He just knows how to rebound and block.

If height is the decisive factor in rebounding, the Chinese team's rebounding in international competitions will not become a routine in every game.

The moment Bird grabbed the offensive rebound, he had already made a plan for the next step. He leaned against Cooper with his back, shot the ball, twisted his steps to the right side of the paint area, turned over and jumped.

Cooper's defense had a certain amount of interference, but the impact on Bird's overall offense was minimal.

"Boom!"

Bird's brilliant rebounding and shooting fueled the enthusiasm of the fans in the garden.

At this moment, the garden has become a purgatory on earth.

The temperature, the smell, the excitement and anger of the fans make the game a torment for the guests who come to play.

Even Louis put on his tie and wanted to tear it off, it was too hot.

The Lakers requested a timeout.

Riley already didn't know how to adjust the team's offense. He replaced Magician and replaced the main players such as Wilkins and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Louis is not in a hurry to change back to the main force, he adjusted the next number two and the inside line.

Enter Carl and Maxwell, and enter Angie and Sampson.

Looking at Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on the court with difficulty, Louis realized that his physical condition is really not optimistic.

Garden is definitely his most hated away.

But as long as he is on the court, the Lakers' offense is guaranteed.

The Lakers don't care if he is 37 years old or not, even if he is 40 years old, he is the team's offensive arrow.

When Louie saw Dennis Johnson force his way in, he knew his purpose was to feed Abdul-Jabbar.

If he is a player on the court, he will try to confuse the dick, let him think that Kareem has a good chance, pass the ball carelessly, and then intercept the passing route.

However, the sight of the authorities is not as clear as that of bystanders.

No one did that, and the ball went smoothly into Kareem's hand, and he was facing Ranbir, who desperately gave Kareem's shoulders a hard push.

That's a foul move.

This is also taught by Thurmond. At the beginning, everyone was worried that it would be called a foul, but Thurmond shook his head firmly.

No, why? He didn't say it, he didn't know.

Louie knows why, it's the league's way of limiting the super big.

With a player like Kareem, it's impossible to restrain him without giving him a little illegal action. The referee will condone the unconventional tactics of his opponent. When Lou was researching NBA history, he discovered that Abdul-Jabbar had complained about Richie Powers, the referee of the 1974 Finals.

It is said that Powers allowed Cowens to push his back roughly. And then Louie found out that in that seven-game series, Powers blew four games, and the Celtics won all of them. . . .

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar at his peak was subjected to double standards by the referee, but he did not expect the same in old age (1).

When Abdul-Jabbar used the small steps of turning around and facing the basket to get rid of Ranbir, the opponent had already left many paw prints on his body.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was so angry that he didn't make a shot. His first reaction was not to grab an offensive rebound, but to scold Laimbir: "You better let me clean your hands and feet!"

"Then you're probably going to be disappointed. My favorite thing is dirty things!" Ranbir said disgustingly. "For example, your goggles, I want to smash them every time."

Attacking the Celtics' restricted area is still the basic strategy of the Lakers.

The Celtics are much more flexible and Bird is in good shape, so he will leave the offense to him, and everyone else will perform their duties.

Sampson came up to screen for Bird, pulled away, received the ball high, and no one cared.

The Lakers seemed to take Sampson's Game 3 outburst as a flash of inspiration, so he took aim and made the high jumper.

37 to 27

The game has become a 10-point gap in the blink of an eye.

The Lakers still pin their hopes of winning on the impact on the inside.

Louie roared from a few dozen meters away, telling the players to pay attention to their positions and giving Sampson the best space for help.

As the DPOY of the season, Sampson's defensive strength lies in his control of the free throw line area and the threat of rim protection in the penalty area.

Too high, too fast, too sharp.

Wilkins is the most decisive person on the inside, and the only person on the Lakers who can't stop him as long as he rushes up.

Abdul-Jabbar took the ball low and did not rush to attack, Wilkins cut in from his side, and he lobbed the ball again.

This time, the Celtics had no way to defend and could only let him dunk.

29 to 37

Some losses were doomed, and Louis did not react to the ball.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar takes the ball in a low position and then passes it to his teammates who cut in. This is one of the common offenses of the Lakers, because the former’s offense is a huge threat. The ball is in his hands, and the attraction will be taken away a lot. His teammates take the opportunity to run. will be ignored.

By the time other people reacted, they had basically run to the most dangerous position.

Louis couldn't think that this was the 37-year-old Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. If he was 27 years old, how strong would he be?

"How could such a strong guy only win one championship in the 1970s?" Louis asked inexplicably.

Cowens responded: "Basketball is a team sport."

So the answer is that teammates are not good enough? Louis was unconvinced.

In his opinion, the top five players in history, at their peak, should at least win something on their own.

Especially in the period of weak competitiveness, Duncan in 2003 led the team to win the championship with a single core when the main enemy was basically destroyed by injuries and court conflicts; James in 2018 was in DeRozan, Oladipo, rookie The Eastern Conference led by Tatum and others led the team to the finals.

When a person is strong enough, he can do these things.

In Louie's view, Abdul-Jabbar was strong enough, but he didn't do it.

Maybe he did it long ago, taking last year's 23-win Bucks to 63 in his rookie season, which is more exaggerated than what Bird did in 1980. Then he won all the honors in the basketball hall the following year, felt that Lou Alcindor could retire and changed his name to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and from then until Magic came to his side, his career Turned into a **** sandwich.

Bird responded to Wilkins' dunk, and he challenged Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, whose ability to protect the rim was severely degraded, to score very close to the rim.

Bird also made some disgusting comments about the top of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar after the ball was scored.

Abdul-Jabbar's anger skyrocketed, and then Wilkins attacked with the ball from beyond the arc. He has the impact of a fat tiger in the restricted area, but he does not have the ball-handling skills of the opponent like a point guard~www.wuxiaspot.com~ His handling ability is more like Paul George.

When you don't believe him, he can give you a little surprise.

When you believe him, it's over.

The Lakers obviously didn't believe him, and everyone was ready to respond. Then, Wilkins moved to a high position on the right to force a jumper, was bumped, lost his center of gravity, and the referee blew the whistle.

A shooting foul is a stop loss.

The Lakers' offense felt like a constipation after Magic sank into a trough, with all kinds of inconveniences.

It's probably the feeling of watching fast broadcasts on a bad network around 2010.

You will absolutely go crazy.

⑴ The same treatment also has O'Neill and King Ming. The way the former dominated the game was too brutal, and some fouls were ignored by the referee. In the words of King Ming, discrimination should exist...
