The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 148 6th man\'s indignation
"The rest, only noise new( Find the latest chapter!
"Coach Lu, how do you evaluate the first half of the game?"
"Uh... lackluster."
"How come, you guys scored 84 points in the first half!"
"Considering that we let the opponent score 70 points, I really have nothing to say." Louis decided to maintain his frivolous personality, "Hopefully we can maintain this offensive in the second half and do a little better on the defensive end."
If it is said that whether there is a good defense is the standard for Louis to evaluate a game, then the Celtics' performance tonight is definitely not good.
Because they gave the Nuggets 140 points.
The last time the Celtics scored 140 points was in the 1970s.
Also, there was no overtime in this game.
In particular, with the Nuggets scoring 140 points without making a 3-pointer, can they still win the game?
The answer is yes, because the Celtics' offense is more brutal than their opponents.
The Nuggets scored 140 points in regular time, but the Celtics went full steam ahead with 160 points.
The result is that, 160 to 140, the Nuggets, who scored 140 points, actually lost 20 points.
This kind of outrageous game is not surprising for the Nuggets.
In a low-versus-high-scoring game, the fans were the happiest. Bird scored 34 points, Thomas 24, Maxwell's 26, Sampson's 22, and John Long. 20 points.
Laimbeer dragged the starter's "back legs" and "only" scored 12 points. A total of 6 Celtics scored in double figures, with 11 appearances.
On the Nuggets side, Vandeweghe scored a game-high 49 points.
It can be said that the Celtics won very beautifully, but no matter how beautiful the win, Louis did not like this kind of game.
But there are too few places to coach, because the Nuggets have a problem and their defense is bad.
Their attacks are too casual, they can be said to be impeccable, or they can be said to be full of loopholes. Moreover, the opportunities they identified were not the vacant opportunities in the eyes of ordinary fans, but when the ball came to them, they felt that they had a good chance and started to do it.
Doug Mo scolds only when the timing of their attack is too outrageous.
"I said it earlier, we only have one goal today, just have fun." Coach Mo looked at it very openly. "Can you expect this group of people to beat the Celtics?"
Louie could only follow the other side's words: "We did play better tonight."
Then, another reporter from New York picked things up.
"Hello LittleLu, I'm a reporter from the NewYorkPost."
The other party self-reported his identity.
Louie is naturally discriminatory against the New York media.
"Why does Denver have New York's media?" Louis wondered.
The other party clarified: "Please rest assured, LittleLu, we are not the same as the Times."
To smear one's peers in order to whitewash oneself is a worse behavior.
But since it was the New York Times who smeared it, Louis believed him for a while.
"Okay, please."
"What do you think of Philadelphia 76ers coach Billy Cunningham calling you a 'cocky young man'?"
"I'll gladly accept it."
The Post reporter was obviously new to the business and had never seen Louis.
He was stunned.
"Any other questions?" Louis asked.
He continued to ask: "Does the opponent score 140 points in a game, does it mean that there is a major problem with the Celtics' defense?"
"It's okay," Louis continued to maintain his frivolous personality, "We decided to learn from the Nuggets, no matter how many points the opponent scored on us, as long as we scored more points than the opponent."
Louie's speech caused a discussion around.
They chatted endlessly, and Louis continued to point to the Post reporter: "Ask any more questions."
"How do you decide to deal with the positional competition between Larry Bird, Ralph Sampson and Cedric Maxwell?"
Rare and difficult, not created out of thin air, real problems.
Louis could not have imagined that the younger brother of the Post looked young, and the few questions he asked were not too stupid. This virtue doesn't look like a reporter in New York?
Why are all the media from New York, so poor in literacy?
"One of the best Celtics players in history, 'Hondo' Havlicek, is known for his sixth man, and before Hondo there was the great Frank Ramsey. And Don Nelson in the '70s. "Louis uses history as an example." The Celtics have always had a tradition of making outstanding players on the bench to become more competitive. Reed Auerbach said that the important thing is not who will lead the team, but who will come. Closing. I don't think starting qualifications say anything because sixth is as important as starting."
Louie says so, and he's not sure how Maxwell feels about the Sixth Man position.
He never told Louis what he thought.
When Louie first came to the team as Fitch's assistant, he had a bad relationship with Maxwell. It wasn't until the 1981 playoffs that their relationship slowly picked up, and now, it's gotten a little more complicated.
"I'm done asking, Coach Lu."
"I haven't asked what your name is yet?"
"Uh... haven't I introduced myself before?"
Louie didn't want to say that from the beginning, he regarded this post's brother as the rabble of the Times, who automatically activated Dafa in his left ear and right ear, and did not remember his name at all.
"It seems so..."
"My name is Selvin Harry."
"I see that you are as young as me. Maybe we can communicate more when there is a chance."
Harry was overjoyed. Being able to get in touch with a young and promising coach like Louis would give him more channels to get insider information.
"Of course, we have the opportunity to communicate more."
Back in the locker room, Louis deliberately spoke to Maxwell.
"Cedric, if you have any dissatisfaction with the arrangement of the sixth man, don't hold it in your heart," Louie said.
Maxwell asked, "Do you want me to say it out loud?"
"It's not impossible."
"No, I don't do that." Maxwell said sullenly, "Once I do this, the media will throw dirty water on me, saying that I am selfish and disregarding the whole team, and it will also implicate my skin color, saying that it is because of blackness. People are selfish and if it was John Havlicek they would never have that problem."
Louie smiled: "So you're still very dissatisfied, right?"
"This should be my freedom. I didn't say it everywhere, I just kept it in my heart." Maxwell asked sarcastically, "Don't I even have the right to be dissatisfied in my heart?"
"Even if you're not willing to play sixth man, you should understand why I put you in this position."
"why?"
"Because you can't go in the paint like Larry, you can't get out and shoot threes like Bill, and you can't have the dominant height and defensive impact that Ralph has."
Maxwell retorted: "They can't cut as fast as I can!"
"I admit that you're a talented opportunity catcher, and maybe you're the best person on the team in this area, but there's no threshold for this." Louie said bluntly, "You might be able to do this. , but there are other guys who can do it, not as good as you, but good enough for tactical needs."
"If that's the case, then I have nothing to say!"
Maxwell sneered: "I deserve to be a substitute!"
"It's the sixth man, not a substitute."
Maxwell took his stuff and said, without looking back, "Stop trying to coax me with the prevarication of the media."
Some people just see the starting lineup as more important than anything else.
Louie wondered if Auerbach had added a starting clause when he signed Maxwell's contract, and he would have to deduct money if he didn't start.
If not, it can only be a collision between the inner positioning of the self-confessed starter and the reality.
The reality is not so good. When Louis came up, he asked him to play the sixth man. He didn't resist fiercely, because he knew that he resisted in vain. Could he stop Sampson from taking the position?
In Louie's vision, Maxwell is an important piece of the puzzle with positions in all four offensive systems.
All offensive systems need a chance-catcher like Maxwell, the sixth-man positioning, and the playing time that is consistent with the main force, allowing him to get enough opportunities.
However, he just wanted that title.
Louis let out a sigh of relief, went outside the arena, got on the bus with the others, and returned to the hotel.
The atmosphere on the bus was quite lively, and Ranbir and Karl were very good at making the atmosphere.
Louie is thinking about the current problems of the Celtics.
It's a good thing that Laimbeer and Thomas don't have the same bad feelings they used to, and Thomas' jealousy of Bird has also improved. Although these alarms that may make the team explode, but like Maxwell's emotions, and some other difficult to play The player's emotions, how to balance, is a difficult problem.
There is only so much time, and the Celtics have a lot of players who can play. They are both young and greedy~www.mtlnovel.com~ do not know how to bear it.
Louis's absence of a curfew is considered a "benevolent policy" for the players, so when they come away, they can hardly find anyone in their room.
Louie often saw them taking women back to the hotel in the middle of the night.
Sometimes even Byrd is no exception.
When Louis saw Lambiel hugging from side to side, with another behind him, ready to make a string of three, Louis showed a knowing smile.
"Coach, can we join you if you're interested?"
"No, I have something else to do."
He went back to his room and ordered a late-night snack.
As usual, only Chinese food can be ordered at this time.
