The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 214 On this prosperous time
"It seems that as long as the Celtics are broadcast live, they will make a little unexpected movement."
Dick Stockton has one more thing to understand.
"The thing I don't understand the most is that they are always the one being attacked, but all the attackers complained about their violence on the field after the game."
It would be unwise for Stockton to single out the matter because his partner is Tom Heinsohn.
Do you expect him to be objective when it comes to things linked to the Celtics?
Heinsohn's performance did not disappoint.
He defended the Celtics games always accompanied by violence in the national broadcast: "Be meticulous with the ball, with people, this is the attitude that a champion should have, and many teams don't understand this style, so they They don't know how to win 11 championships in 13 years without a championship."
There are two loopholes in this remark. What does the Celtics of the 1960s have to do with the Celtics of today? Bird's salary can hire 25 Bill Russells a year. Also, although the Celtics in the 1960s were tough, they were more like the Pistons of the new century.
Even fans can easily refute Heinsohn.
But the fans don't have this platform, they can't jump in from the TV and overturn the commentary box and then tell the country how outrageous Heinsohn's words are.
So, I can only watch him sit there with rhythm.
Every Celtics fan will support his words, and on the court, the two protagonists of the night, Bird and Magic, began to confront each other frequently in the second quarter.
When Magic comes back, Bird will find a way to cut his ball whenever he gets down.
Occasionally, Bird will come to defend himself.
If Bird defends, Magic's passing tendency will be greatly reduced, and the offensive aggression will be significantly improved.
In order to find out whether the magician, like Bird, regards the other party as the biggest competitor, Louie asked Tomjanovich to count a statistic.
Magic vs Bird's offensive options, and Magic vs. everyone else's offensive options.
The results are pleasing.
In the second quarter, as long as the Magician faces Bird, the probability of choosing to complete the attack by himself is as high as 75%.
If someone else comes to defend, the probability of own attack drops to 20%.
"It's really a pair of enemies."
Louis sighed after reading the data.
Bird and Magic are both President Hill-level team superstars, with a clear tendency to help their teammates play well.
However, their style of play is different.
Bird tends to be a versatile offensive lineman, and Magic is a great global player.
As long as he helps the Lakers score, Bird will try to get back in the next round.
For those fans who want to see the black-and-white duel, the second half of the second quarter is extremely eye-catching. Due to the smell of gunpowder brought out by Bird, the two sides are at each other's throats, and it is real.
When Magic tore the Celtics' defense from the top of the arc, and went to the penalty area to play a European step dunk that shocked Louis, Louis was sure Bird would rush to the frontcourt and come back.
Bird backs up the Lakers' first lock, Michael Cooper.
His feints made Cooper's defense discredited, but the shot didn't feel good.
Bird was the first to realize the ball wouldn't go in, and the first to run for the rebound. He reacted faster than anyone else on the court and managed to grab the offensive rebound, but was caught by the ball. The Lakers were surrounded by three teams, unable to move around the bottom line. Behind him, was out of bounds.
"Larry has no way out!"
Yes, if you step back and go out of bounds, if you risk passing the ball, there is a high probability of being stolen.
Maybe it's better to step out of bounds and make a mistake?
At least one less counter-attack for the Lakers.
If Bird gave up easily, he wasn't him.
The Lakers' abacus is good, but Bird is a low-quality person!
He jumped out of bounds, and took a golden rooster independent pose that he didn't even realize. His body flew out of bounds and hadn't landed yet. He had already seen the basket behind the hoop, watching his movements, everyone screamed. came out.
"He's going to shoot behind the rim?"
By the time the words fell, Bird had turned his predictions into reality, throwing incredible arc-high shots from out of bounds against the hoop behind the rim.
Only Rock Park streetball players play this hand.
Moreover, the hit rate can not be guaranteed, not to mention that when they do this, there will be no defense, but Bird is facing three people's attack.
The ball, staring at the center of the basket as if with eyes, fell.
"Shh!"
I got a big weed!
Louie's heart rolled in a stormy sea, staring at Bird in shock.
Bird rolled his eyes at the audience and said to the three Lakers who attacked him: "I originally wanted to try to see if I could wipe the board from behind the basket, but I didn't expect it to be hollow, alas."
Halfway through the act, he was slapped on the **** by Louie outside the court: "Are you a **** human being!"
This is the climax of the first half, and it is the epitome of the black and white duo facing Biao.
Talent, talent, intelligence, leadership, determination, dominance, dominance.
In just half a quarter, they proved to the world that their era is over, such as Malone and Dr.
Ahead, waiting for fans is the most glorious golden age ever.
Two geniuses who meet once in 30 years will follow the general trend, and they will definitely hit the brightest light.
56 to 54
The Celtics led the Lakers by 2 points and the game entered the second half.
Louis, as usual, was interviewed at halftime.
"Coach Lu, the showdown between Larry and Magic is a feast for our eyes, is this in your plan?"
Louie smiled and said, "No, we are a team, and there will be no such arrangement with personal characteristics, it's just a coincidence."
"Who do you think is better, Larry or Magic."
A normal head coach will praise the opponent and then state his position: I must say that my people are better, but this is just my personal opinion blah blah blah.
The reason Louie is a star coach is that he's not normal, very abnormal.
From the age, to the performance of the team, to the frivolous and arrogant image, it is not normal.
"Magic is better." Louie laughed. "He has two NBA championships, one more than Larry, and he beat Larry head-on in college, so the answer is obvious."
Louis here is trying to stimulate Bird.
In front of him is Heinsohn helping him wash the floor: "LittleLu is too modest. In fact, Larry has several obvious advantages over magicians..."
The problem is that Louie never cares who is better.
The first sentence he made when he returned to the locker room was: "I just played with them in the first half. Next, we have to get serious. Listen carefully to every word I say next!"
When there was no smile on Louie's face, when Louie came in without cursing, when Louie was serious and imposing in the venue layout, the Celtics' locker room was as quiet as the principal inspecting a certain class.
"The Lakers played very lively, but Kareem was tired."
Louie said loudly.
"A tired Kareem is no bigger threat than Bill, you have to keep putting pressure on him."
"Shrink the defense, don't care about their 3-pointers, how they ignore Larry's 3-pointers, you're even more reckless ignoring their perimeter shooters."
"The contraction is to control the middle. I don't want to see the magician break through from the outside again and make a few tricky moves to score inside. I saw enough in the first half!"
When Louis said this, he finally smiled: "In order to prove that we are serious, I suggest that you bring down the magician at least once in the second half."
"After you prove your toughness with fouls, the most important part will be reached."
Louis focused on the penalty area: "Magic won't give up attacking because of your fouls, he will break through, and he will compete with Larry. Therefore, you must attack him decisively in this position!"
Thomas had a question: "This way, the wings are empty."
"That's right! I wonder if Dominic Wilkins' 2-pointer is reliable, and I wonder if Dennis Johnson's 45-degree open 3-pointer on the right can punish us."
Louie doesn't believe Wilkins has a solid mid-range shot.
I don't even believe that a man who has never touched the three-point line in the first half of his life can practice a seemingly unnecessary open three-pointer in a few years~www.mtlnovel.com~ If the game requires it, Louis believes in anything. Players of the era can practice three points.
Shooting is hard work and the fairest skill for a player.
If a player has been in the league for years and still makes headlines for making 3s, you can totally question what he's practicing.
In particular, they also like to release their own training videos in the offseason. In the videos, they are always accurate and incredible, and then when it comes to the game, whether to reject or reject the vote.
These people should be thankful for that unique era.
The rules force bigs to be more complete, so they have to shoot 3s, which can help open space for some crippled guys who haven't been able to shoot 3s for years.
Most of the information that Louis needs to know has been completed.
The rest is the performance against Magician, Kareem and others.
Tonight is just a test, if it works, there will be a bigger surprise for them in the finals.
