The Rest, Only Noise

In the first game in November, the Celtics narrowly lost to their old rivals, the 76ers.

Because it is only a regular season, although the two sides attach great importance to it, they have not taken out the bottom of the box.

The day after that, Bill Fitch suddenly found Louie. Louis thought that Fitch was dissatisfied with his repeated overstepping command, but he didn't expect...

"Lu, if I handed the team's offense to you, could you make them better?"

Fitch's attitude didn't seem to be fake, he was serious.

Fitch was so serious that Louie used a joke to get around the subject.

"Leave the attack to me?" Louis didn't seem to understand.

"I've been thinking, where is our problem." Fitch seemed to understand, "Our defense is second only to Philadelphia, but our offense has never improved. This is the team's problem, and it's mine. Problem, I have a hard time finding a balance between defense and offense, I need someone else to help me, so I think of you."

Fitch's suggestion made Louis feel both heartbroken and dangerous.

But he knew that this was a rare opportunity.

In terms of coaching experience, he is far inferior to K.C. Jones, or even Jim Rodgers, but Fitch wants him to tune the team's offense.

If he agrees, he gets the right to go beyond the chief assistant.

Since the birth of assistant coaches, they have always only had the right to advise, but not to make decisions.

The first assistant coach to have a big impact on the team was Doug Moe. He helped build the team's offense as an offensive coach when he was an assistant under Larry Brown.

Although Mo started, but offensive coaches and defensive coaches, who decentralize the functions of head coaches, have not been promoted.

Because there are not many coaches who are willing to delegate power.

Although Louis was worried, he knew that this was an opportunity that he should not miss, so he agreed.

At the same time, he conveyed the matter to Auerbach for the first time.

Auerbach was surprised to hear that Fitch wanted Louis to help tune the team's offense. This would greatly increase Louis' workload, and it also meant that the task of letting him go on business trips to see college students as often as before might not be possible. on his head.

Auerbach knew the importance, let Louis let go, and he would arrange other work.

Louie began to study his coaching work with great concentration. Although he is not yet a real head coach, he can lead a team's offense and his authority has surpassed that of an ordinary assistant coach.

From the moment he took over the team's offense, Louie was looking for the most suitable position for the Celtics.

The Celtics' previous offensive placement was similar to a "single stack".

This position is mainly used to resist the pressing defense of the opposing defender.

In order to run a high pick-and-roll offense, the inside players will choose to stack on one side, and the other three will stand on the top of the arc and the other side.

Louie decided to ditch the "single stack".

He likes creative positional warfare, so he abandoned some of the more popular traditional positional warfare. Boldly pursue the 1-4 highs common in college leagues.

This formation isn't the most popular post-up position right now.

The ball carrier is required to stand at the top of the outermost arc, and the other four work in a straight line along the free throw line. There are many tactical changes derived from this position, because the point guard will have four passing options, and any point can be the main point of attack. The point guard can choose to rush the ball, or to single on the flank, or he can choose to support the inside line, and there are various tactical choices.

The reason Louis chose this formation is because it can seamlessly connect the "L" tactics, which is very suitable as a starting position for positional warfare.

And, once the tactic enters a deadlock, it can be comfortably transformed into a 1-4 low post that is more conducive to star singles.

The 1-4 low position is similar to the 1-4 high position. The ball holder is still at the top of the arc. The other four people are mainly on the horizontal line of the paint area. Pull space to the outside. At this time, the Celtics only have John Long who can punish opponents from beyond the three-point line. Therefore, the position needs to be adjusted slightly.

Lang should stand on the side of the main attacker to open up the space to form a strong and weak side, and the other one who does not have a three-point range should try to pull it as high as possible to maximize the space.

These two positions can already handle most of the positional warfare.

In addition, in order to cope with emergencies, Louis also designed additional positional battles.

It can't be said to be design, but preparation.

He selected the prepared positional position as the horn position that is very common in modern basketball.

Bullhorn stance is also called "V" stance. The big man inside refers to the high post above the free throw line and is used to provide screens or pick-and-rolls. Therefore, the point guard can choose the direction of the attack according to the situation. In theory, this is the most suitable offensive formation for Fitch.

However, they are in the first year of the three-point era, and there are not so many high-quality shooters in the left and right corners. Therefore, this formation can only be used as an emergency countermeasure for offense.

For these three formations, Louis prepared for several days.

When he hosted the training for the first time, he suddenly called the players to his side, divided them according to their positions, and introduced their roles and responsibilities in the three positional warfare formations.

Bird, in particular, was given a heavy responsibility.

A 1-4 formation both inside and out requires a ball-handler at the top of the arc, usually a point guard, but Louie unconventionally handed it over to Bird.

Similarly, the bull horn formation also needs a defender with strong ball dominance. Although Louie did not give the ball to Bird, he gave him a tactical position similar to Stoudemire's running and hitting the Suns.

That is to say, in these three formations, Bird is either the big core with the ball or the number one finisher.

"Is this... OK?" Maxwell was very doubtful that Louis's fancy formation would work.

Even Bird was a little worried, they had never fought like this before.

"Is it going to be used directly in actual combat?" At this time, Bird, who has no future style, showed deep anxiety about the great responsibility of the sky, "I mean, we should practice for a while."

Seeing everyone's worries, Louis smiled lightly: "The best practice is to go from actual combat, we may lose some games we shouldn't lose because of this, but when we are familiar with the brand-new offensive tactics, it is the moment when we are reborn. !"

At this time, everyone looked at Bill Fitch.

Even Fitch didn't expect Louie to play so big.

Isn't this just building an offensive system? This is really like tearing down his attack from the inside out and building a new one!

Fitch did not forget that he boasted to Louis that he invited Louis to participate in the construction of the offensive system. Since he said it, he must be given freedom.

Even if the pressure is like a mountain, he has to help Louis to hold up the scene, so he nodded and said, "What Louis means is what I mean, you listen to him!"

4 days later, the Celtics fought the Eagles again.

This game is the first actual combat of the new offensive system.

The Celtics made 39 turnovers, which is amazing. They had a hard fight with the Eagles. Fortunately, the second unit composed of Ralph Sampson and Randy Smith was tough enough for the Celtics to win. Contest.

Archibald was lost under the new attacking system.

There's no problem with his creativity and impact, but he won't play a 1-4 inside and out, especially when the ball goes to Bird and he doesn't have the ball, he and the core guards who can't play without the ball Same, very at a loss.

Louis discovered this situation, and after communicating with Archibald, the "elf" expressed his willingness to substitute for a period of time.

Louie then reported the situation to Fitch.

Fitch then put Gerard Henderson in the starting lineup at Louis's suggestion.

The biggest difference between Henderson and Archibald is that he has a history in the lower leagues for a while, and he cherishes every opportunity and is willing to sacrifice and hand over the ball.

A few days later, the Celtics reunited with the Bucks with a 114-99 rout. Bird bravely scored a triple-double of 34 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists.

The Celtics' turnover rate remains high, but with their deep lineup, their offense is heading to a peak that was previously unimaginable.

Louie and Fitch have a clear division of labor.

During the game, if the defense has problems for a long time, Fitch will call a timeout to adjust. If something goes wrong with the offense, he will ask Louie's opinion before implementing a new strategy. Sometimes, Louie will directly set the players.

As a result, The New York Times said uncomfortably and kindly: "The Boston Celtics are thriving~www.wuxiaspot.com~ They not only have the best lineup, but also have the most head coaches. Most teams have only one head coach. , and they have two."

Unexpectedly, Louis himself would respond to this report that may sway the hearts of the military.

"The New York Times is a terrible media, they always output false information, I feel so sad for New Yorkers."

Louie questioned the ethics of The New York Times without evidence and carried out a personal attack akin to saying "" to people in person.

The Celtics went all the way to Nov. 21.

Their streak was ended by the Bucks.

The Bucks are the biggest surprise in the Eastern Division this season. They won 49 wins in the West last season. After rectifying their team this season, they have now achieved a record of 20 wins and 6 losses. Maintaining this immediate fighting force has a good chance of ending the regular season. Time to achieve a record of no less than 55 wins.

They ended the Celtics' winning streak, but they didn't make the headlines.

Just like the Lakers game was broadcast live by CBS on this day, and killed the Phoenix Suns, who are currently ranked first in the Western Conference with 17 wins and 4 losses (Magician was injured), because on this day, in the "Jumen grudge" In the final episode, J.R. Ewing, the greatest villain in American television history, was shot in the final act.

Over 90 million U.S. viewers (representing more than 53 percent of U.S. households and 76 percent of U.S. TV viewers watched the episode — a record that's timeless, like Chamberlain's 50-point game, and can't be broken again.

There are over 25 million Americans who want to know who shot the **** bad guy.

It's an unfortunate day for the NBA.

"Premium Black Drugs Major League" was kicked out again!
