The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 58 Stunning appearance
With Ralph Sampson on the court, the game became his show.
"This kid really doesn't deserve his reputation!"
K.C. Jones had seen his ability on the practice court, but when he came to the NBA, he wanted to surprise everyone.
The alley-oop dunk that Bird received was his gift to the league.
Next, with a thin body to take the position, get the ball and turn around and shoot directly.
With his physicality, height, and playing at the 4, Dave Greenwood can't do anything about his shooting.
"Boom!"
Enter the board.
Sampson kept Louie's teachings in mind, and his play was biased to the outside. He played a few lows and began to receive the ball in the paint area, making a shocking skyhook.
He is literally anything.
Although everything can be, but not all proficient.
At the end of the first quarter, the Celtics led the Bulls 30-19.
Fitch called a timeout to place a buzzer-beater.
Louie suggested: "I don't think it's difficult, just let Larry throw the ball inside, and Ralph catches the dunk."
"Don't underestimate your opponent!" Fitch rolled his eyes.
Like many coaches who take every timeout seriously, he laid out a complex play.
Bird was responsible for the sideline ball. The tactics designed by Fitch required three people to cooperate. Sampson was pulled aside. If there was no accident, he was just a spectator in the last attack.
Accidents are always everywhere.
John Long was tripped by his opponent, and Laimbeer was not a good end point. Seeing that the tactics were about to fail, Sampson pointed to the basket and ran inside.
Bird's heart was crossed, and he really came to receive the ball out of bounds.
Sampson moved inside like a steed, jumped up, caught Bird's flawless pass and dunked into the Celtics' first-quarter final.
32 to 19
Fitch was stunned, and Louis smiled smugly: "Let me tell you, it's not that difficult."
Some of Sampson's problems came to light in the early part of the second quarter.
His figure is not good enough.
Although he gained 5kg in the summer, he is still a thin player in general.
The Celtics use him as a 4, but the Bulls won't keep the 4 against him.
After a while, he ran into Gilmore.
"A train" does not talk about martial arts, relying on the old to sell the old, and brushed 6 offensive rebounds on Sampson's head. The funny thing is, 5 of those 6 offensive rebounds came in the same possession.
Every time he gets an offensive rebound, he acts like an upright boy, throwing his hands up without any fakes.
Sampson can't beat him, but defensive interference is no problem.
Gilmour's explosive body and rough offense made Louie think of Dwight Howard. The two are indeed somewhat similar.
In the middle of the game, Sampson failed to make two jumpers from beyond the free throw line, and Fitch stopped the game again.
"Ralph, you have to play to your advantage in the paint!" Fitch yelled. "Don't worry about your **** jumper!"
To warn Sampson, he replaced the young man who was playing hard.
He was replaced by Rick Robbie, the No. 3 center in Bird's class -- a guy who could outrank Bird in the draft, which Louie didn't expect.
He still does not understand to this day that the Pacers traded Robbie with the No. 1 pick because Bird refused to enter the NBA early, and then gave Robbie to the Celtics in the middle of the season, just to get Billy Neven. . But Nevin's salary is higher than Robbie's, and they're giving up Bird and an untapped No. 3 overall pick for a player who can't relieve their financial pressure.
"L" tactics are playing a significant role in the Celtics game.
Bill Fitch looked at Louie from time to time, because when the team finished the offense with the "L" play, the live announcer would praise the Celtics offense.
The team plays well tactics, of course, the coach should be praised the most.
Fitch wondered what he thought of Louie, whose tactics had all earned the applause and applause of others.
He observed Louie's reaction and found that he had no opinion.
The most critical aspect of Louie's new tactic is to give Bird something to do.
Bird threaded the needle over and over again, creating good opportunities for Ranbir, for Maxwell, for Rick Robbie, and for everyone else.
He is an unquestionable genius.
Incorporating L tactics is a piece of cake.
In the first game of the new season, when he played the L tactic for the first time, he became the leader of this tactic.
On the Bulls side, they lack a stable position and a strong player, and can only rely on the strong breakthrough of the bad team brusher Reggie Seuss who has brought them lottery picks in the future to maintain the suspense of the game.
Gilmour vs. Ranbir, an honest good guy vs a despicable villain, they're a world apart from play to body.
The train A suddenly accelerated, abused Ranbir's defense, and scored.
40 to 50
"Bill, where's all that wickedness you had against Ralph?" Louie asked sarcastically.
Ranbir didn't plan to do anything at all. He was hit every time he was hit. Louie suddenly made things difficult for him, and he suddenly became angry and said coldly, "Show me!"
When Bird lost the face of Larry Kennon's play on offense and made a left-wing midfielder.
Ranbir's elbow knocked Gilmour to the ground.
This time, the referee spotted Ranbir's move.
He called an offensive foul.
The Gilmores were on the ground ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and cared about Ranbir's elbow, "Are your hands okay?"
A sentence like "I'm in a big groove" suddenly appeared in Ranbir's heart. After playing for many years, he had never seen such a freak, which made him feel a little ashamed.
He didn't want to embarrass Gilmour at all, what's the matter? Thinking about it, Ranbir regards Louis as the culprit, and it's all this kid who is telling the truth!
This game showed the depth of the Celtics' lineup, the power of new aids and new tactics.
Sampson's surprise is obvious to all, but Bird's debut in the sophomore season is even more surprising.
He played 45 minutes, and if it weren't for the suspense in the final game, Fitch might have given him the full game.
The whole game, Bird had only 29 points, but the feeling was everywhere.
Personal offense, assisting teammates, defense, and especially defense.
It's too dazzling. When he is alone against an opponent with weak explosive power, he can be called a big lock-level existence. When assisting in defense, his prediction of the ball and passing routes has repeatedly caused the Bulls to make offensive mistakes in positional warfare.
What is valuable is that he dared to enter the inside line to fight, even if the 2.18-meter Gilmour was standing in front of him, he did not change his face.
The whole game, the Celtics made a good start to the new season with a 30-point victory.
Louie recorded a few things.
Bird's defense and Sampson's agility, and Archibald's return to form.
Especially the latter, it is delusional not to say that the state of the "elf" will return to the peak season, but if it can pick up a little more in the current state, the Celtics will have no dead ends in the starting lineup.
With no dead ends and a lineup that is second to none, the Celtics are without a doubt the No. 1 favorite this season.
