the rest, only noise

Chapter 169 Effortless
Drexler was having a blast, and it looked like it was all about him, looking like he was going to lead the team to a win over the Celtics.

In fact, he is the only point where the Blazers can contribute steadily in the second quarter.

Because he is a rookie, and Ramsey doesn't like to use him, so the teams basically don't scout him, only know that he has top physical fitness.Louie knew he was strong, but looking at his statistics, he also knew that he was still a marginal player in the Trail Blazers. He didn't expect to be suddenly brought out to fight the fire, and he played well.

Without Drexler, Thomas could have built a 15-plus-point lead early in the second quarter.

Although the situation is not good now, it is not such a big problem.

The reason why Drexler can't hold back is that he belongs to the existence that was tactically emptied by the Celtics.

Off the field, Louis acted as the authority dog, asked Bird to stand at attention, defended the authority of the coach a little, called him and Lambiel to his side, and gave careful instructions.

"Their double high and low positions are very oppressive for the penalty area, but neither of them is a good player at controlling the ball, so if you have a chance, you don't have to be polite."

"As for the rookie who has been flying in the sky, if you pay attention, you will find several characteristics of his offense."

Louie fell silent suddenly.

"What characteristic?" Byrd asked.

"You want to blow him up so much, but you can't even notice this detail?" Louis asked disappointedly.

Bird said arrogantly: "I didn't even want to play."

"So blame me?" Louis seemed to be ready to be the authority dog ​​again.

Bird immediately changed his words, "No, I was careless."

Lambiel's eyes are weird. Why did Byrd suddenly change his gender? This is unreasonable. Among the people he has ever met, the arrogant and arrogant bastard is suddenly docile like a dog?No, it's even worse than him.

"At present, he basically only has two offensive methods-through the team's tactics, especially the double-high and low-post offense, and then pass to the perimeter, and the guard sends the pass to him to finish at the basket; the other is very simple, because our scouting report states that he can't shoot, so you guys really can't guard against his shots."

Explosions like Drexler's are not uncommon.

Although unexpected, it is easy to contain.

If the Blazers rely on him to support the game, then the result is basically doomed.

"Since you want to give him some flair, try to cut off the passing line between him and your teammates. Don't give him comfortable open shots. On the offensive end, find ways to hit him more. It's best to attack with high damage and strong insult." Louis laughed. "The last one shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

Lambiel thought of a good idea: "Let's do this, you tell him that you will use your second child to push the ball into the basket, and then you will do what you say. I think as long as you can succeed, he will jump off the building before the game is over."

"I haven't seen anyone shoot with his second child, why don't you teach me?" Bird asked jokingly.

"Yes, Bill, come and give everyone a try. If it doesn't work out, I'll call a timeout and pull you into the bathroom for chemical castration!"

Louis said that there was cold air in the crotch of Ranbier.

After 1 minute, Bird and Lambiel replaced Maxwell and ML Carr.

As soon as he got on the court, Bird said to Drexler: "Your monkey show should be over!"

Then, Drexler was about to make a move. He had been looking forward to Bird playing, especially when he was in good shape. If he could beat Bird, he would be famous in one battle. Even Ramsey had to look at him with admiration.

He didn't know what to do, he just ran with the others, moved, and hoped for a chance to score.

However, his chance no longer appeared.

Although his teammates saw that Drexler was open, Bird's divine hand broke the ball halfway.

Bird gave Thomas first, and followed slowly by himself.

The Blazers' will to not give the Celtics a fast break is firm. Even if there are only two players, they must retreat at full speed and successfully prevent Thomas from hitting the ball to the basket.

By the time they got to the basket, Bird was just beyond the three-point line.

Thomas returned a pass, and on the three-point line at the top of the arc, Bird threw the ball to shoot. In the blink of an eye, he put the ball down, because Drexler behind him aggressively wanted to chase the cap.

Bird seemed to be able to see behind his head, anticipating Drexler's block perfectly.

Release the ball, dribble one step to adjust again, Drexler watched helplessly as he threw the ball.

The basketball flew to the highest point, which was a rare chasing three-pointer in the 80s.

"Shh!"

"You look like a monkey from a distance, but you look like a pig up close." Bird seemed unaware that his words might be accused of racial discrimination. "Now I'm sure, you're a monkey with a pig's brain."

"Unhappy?" Byrd sneered, "Try to guard against me first!"

After killing Bird, Drexler didn't even know why the bird man had such great malice towards him.

"Little Lu", the mastermind behind the situation, said to Tomjanovich with a solemn expression, "Isn't Larry going too far? He's talking endlessly even after scoring. Are all country people so unqualified?"

And Tomjanovich had to pretend he didn't know that it was all because of Louie's instigation.

"Larry is a little bit of a pushover," Tomjanovich said smugly.

"This country bumpkin should be sent back to university for another four years of education, the quality is too bad!" Louis babbled.

On the matter of defending Drexler, the Celtics have a clear division of labor.

If he chooses to roam around the rim, let Bird do the glue-style posting.

If he moves away from the paint, such as running to the free throw line, let Sampson help.Once he runs to a further position, the Celtics can ignore him.

At least until 1984, before Michael Jordan entered the league.

In the history of the NBA, there has never been a swingman with a height of 198 centimeters or more who has mastered a stable long-distance two-pointer from the very beginning.

The more talent visible to the naked eye, the easier it is to rule the secondary league.

They have eaten the sweetness of their talents, so they are naturally too lazy to work hard on technical details.

Drexler did not depart from this phenomenon either.

Sampson brings a lot of defensive pressure like a phantom.

Drexler began to disappear on the field.

And when the Celtics attacked, the Blazers' troubles became even bigger.

Isiah Thomas activated the No. [-] system, and the four-corner offense played sharply.

The Blazers only knew how to defend against his breakthroughs and wing players' cuts, but they didn't expect Thomas to collect the ball and jump shot the moment he found an open space.

Drexler appeared at the free throw line to catch the ball and wanted to shoot, but was blocked by Sampson.

The Celtics fought back again.

The point difference was pulled to 13 points, and Ramsey could only call a timeout to interrupt the Celtics' surging offensive.

"They hope to use tactics to compete with us. Although this is a bit led by their noses, I think from the bottom of my heart that even if we play tactics, we are better."

After all, Louis replaced Isiah Thomas who played most of the quarter.

His eyes turned to John Paxson. "John, I need you to make three three-pointers."

"If you can do it, I'll let you play."

"I could give it a try," Paxson said.

"Try it? I don't want to hear this kind of answer, can you, can you or can't, give me a happy word!"

The referee came because the Blazers called a short timeout.

"Little Lu?"

"Can you?" Louis asked.

"Definitely!" Paxson emboldened himself loudly.

Louis put down the tactical board and said to Bird: "Play more 'L' No. 12, No. [-] and NO.[-] tactics!"

The Blazers realized that they couldn't give Drexler all the chances. They needed to rely on Jim Paxson, the real offensive core, to create opportunities.

Also called Paxson, Paxson of the Trail Blazers is not a pure pitcher like Paxson of the Celtics.

Jim Paxson is a rare white guard with a tough style. He can shoot suddenly. In the four seasons since the second grade, the average minimum shooting percentage was 51.4%. In the three seasons with an average of 20 points per game, he was the first in the history of the Trail Blazers.

It's no wonder that the Blazers don't like Jordan, and they want to choose a forward if they want to die.Paxson, who is on the rise, and Drexler, who is rapidly transforming into a swingman, they really have no shortage of players of this type.

However, Paxson's offense ran into trouble.

His breakthrough was blocked by Lambiel's help defense, and John Long swooped in from behind and stole his ball.

The Celtics made a wonderful counterattack and pulled the point difference to 15 points.

Minutes later, the oppressive defense strangled the Blazers' offense.

Offensively, John Paxson failed on his first three-point attempt.

But with Sampson and Bird brushing the offensive rebounds like playing a game, both of them were a bit weak in their tip-ups.

When Bird grabbed the third offensive rebound, the shot space was already blocked by the dazzling arm, and the only thing he could do was to pass the ball to Paxson on the outside.

Paxson received Bird's pass, and there was no one six meters in front of him. He made a good adjustment and shot with the most comfortable posture.

"Shh!"

This is the shot that broke the Blazers.

Ramsey watched the game helplessly, and he had nothing to say if they ended up losing to the Celtics' individual abilities.However, in this game, the Celtics' greatest personal ability was Bird's ravages of Drexler.

And, the scene of consecutive offensive rebounds just now.

Others, there are really few pictures that can be regarded as personal abilities.

If the Blazers want to play tactics, they will play tactics accordingly, and it is not complicated.

The Blazers pursue the highest effective field goal percentage, and their defense is not strong. The Celtics' defense is not strong. They have a novel offensive system as support, a strong book lineup as a support, and the stars are shining but they can operate like a car.

For Ramsey, they should lose and Louie should win, the question is how to lose and how to win.

Tonight, Louie won beautifully, not at all.

Ramsey doesn't like the result because the Celtics may only be playing at 60 percent of their strength.
