the rest, only noise

Chapter 178 Only loneliness is eternal
Chapter 177 Only Loneliness is Eternal

The Celtics suddenly went crazy, playing harder than the main lineup.

Lambiel continued to be a villain on the inside, while Sampson played like an Antetokounmpo with offensive ability, combined with sudden shots, like a [-]-foot-[-] small forward.

Halfway through the quarter, the Dallasites at the scene couldn't make a sound.

49 is better than 30
The 19-point gap forced Dick Motta to call a timeout.

He discovered that the Celtics were not a talent-based team.

Because although this lineup still has a terrible talent like Sampson, their core and sub-core-Bird and Thomas-are not there.

Corner sharpshooter John Long, who made the entire league fearful, was also resting, relying on Sampson and Lambiel to lead the second team, and actually played one star, three shots and one burst.

Sampson was free to dominate the game.

The Mavericks' defensive routine has bottomed out. Not only can they not restrain Bird, but they can't restrain Sampson. If there is no support from the fans and Thomas' inner demons, whether they can restrain him is another matter.

"Since we can't defend, we will attack!" Mota said frantically, "In the triangle position outside, no matter who gets the ball, the first goal is to break through, break through, divide the ball, break through, and then divide the ball! There is a chance to make a decisive shot! Seize every opportunity they fail to attack and counterattack, and create more rotation attacks!"

Because the Mavericks are good at shooting, the Celtics' defense today mainly relies on man-to-man, and the pocket formation is not very useful.

Therefore, the sudden division of this part cannot fully achieve the effect.

What Motta has to do is to pull the line of defense, but this is a test of the player's personal ability.

Now he has no more options. To avoid being slaughtered by the Celtics, he can only choose to fight poison with fire.

Even if the gap cannot be narrowed, it is necessary to prevent the Celtics from quickly widening the gap.He didn't forget what Louie said before the start, to win by 40 points.

He really won by 40 points, and Motta didn't know what face he had to continue.

"The second team played well, a bit beyond my expectations." Louis continued to engage in their mentality. "But it's a bit worse than the main players."

Carl said unconvinced: "We have expanded our lead."

"Don't waste my precious timeout, MLC," Louie said.

He's obviously wasting his time talking nonsense
"Your performance is good enough. The next position adjustment has nothing to do with personal performance. It is purely based on the rotation time." Louis called out Bird and John Long, "You replaced Ralph and MLC."

Sampson was replaced because he played for a long time and had to rest.

Carl was replaced because he was very noisy on the field and liked to interrupt Louie's spellcasting.This habit is undesirable.

"Coach, why don't you replace me?" Louie heard Thomas' voice, "I've been resting for a long time."

"You?" Louis looked at Thomas seriously from top to bottom. The other party stood like a soldier, with a strong aura, and the signature honey smirk came back-this is closely related to his mental state-but he had made arrangements, how could he change it overnight?
"Are you ready?" Louis asked.

"I'm ready," Thomas said.

"But you expressed your opinion too late, and Gerrard is in a good state, so you need to wait." Louis's smile was never sweet, but it was never hypocritical. It was just at this moment, "You know I don't like you in the first quarter, so you better not show that state in front of me often. You look good now, especially the smile on your face. It makes me want to tear your face apart, but I'm glad you're back."

"Yes, Coach."

Louis had no doubts that he was now Thomas' most hated person.

But Thomas also knew that he couldn't disobey Louis.

In a way, Louie cursed more than Fitch did.

Fitch cursed at 85 percent of his energy each time, and his words were less crude than Louie's.

And Louis, as long as he catches your mistakes, he will use 100% of his energy to spray people, from the mistakes themselves, to the body, to the spirit, from criticism to insults, everything.

Even if his words are so ugly, it is difficult for the person being scolded to refute, because it is indeed wrong.

At the same time, this is a great example of Louis's established authority.

If it is a coach without prestige, the players under him cannot bear to be sprayed like this by him.

After Bird returned to the court, as if to prove that he was stronger than Sampson, he turned the point difference into 2 points in 25 minutes in a more dominant way.

The Mavericks' suspension arrangement was also discovered by Louie.

Choosing to constantly break through and stretch the defense to create space is a bad strategy because they can't make three-pointers.

The real characteristic is the chasing ball of Mark Aguirre and Rolando Blackman.

Especially Aguirre, who was restricted by the Celtics defensive system tonight.A small forward who can shoot suddenly is logically the type that the Celtics are least good at defending.

But Motta's system encircled his body and had a greater impact on him than imagined.

Now Motta wants them to chase more. Their understanding is that, when playing against a top offensive team like the Celtics, how can there be so many defensive rebounds to chase?

The Celtics can't even protect a defensive rebound if they want to.

Therefore, Aguirre's first workaround is, "Whether he is fighting back or in a positional battle, isn't chasing him just trying to catch him by surprise? Doesn't the counterattack and chasing him, or the sudden shot in a positional battle, all achieve the effect of chasing the body?"
This kind of player with the ability to draw inferences from one instance should be praised.

Motta was angry at first, but he calmed down quickly.

Because he found that after the timeout ended, the Mavericks did not get a defensive rebound.

The Celtics' positional warfare offense was all scored, and Bird, who had no solution, left no way out.

On the contrary, the Celtics took advantage of the Mavericks' missed shots and hit the chase ball.

So Aguirre suddenly pulled up and threw a three-pointer. When he began to boldly try the three-pointer with only 0.7 shots per game and 0.2 goals per game, Motta expressed his understanding with swear words and a scowling look.

The important thing is that Aguirre made a shot.

He drove Blackman, and the Mavericks had two stars who played chasing and attacking stars regardless of position and counterattack.

Chasing up shots is nothing new to modern football fans.

The Warriors' body-chasing three-pointer changed the game of basketball. Before the Warriors, Nash's Suns, Nelson's Mavericks and the white chocolate in the crazy period also liked to shoot.

As for the contemporary era, the king of body chasing is the Nuggets in the West.

The Mavericks suddenly played this unaccustomed routine and could only rely on the stars to display their personal abilities.

This kind of routine is not stable, and it is completely seeking wealth and insurance.

But if people are seeking truth from their wealth and insurance, they just plan to do it for one vote, but they do it every round.

Is that still called asking for wealth and insurance?
Not looking for death?

Therefore, Louie watched with a smile on Bird's second team to open the point difference to 34 points. One minute before the end of the first half, he symbolically replaced Isiah Thomas.

"Don't laugh, I'll say something ugly, if you make any decision to let me, or Rudy, Dahong, or anyone on the field frown in the next minute." Louis threatened with a smile, "You just roll into the locker room and don't come back, understand?"

Thomas responded with a hypocritical smile, "Understood, Coach Lu."

The fans at the scene still attacked him, and Brad Davis' stupid white hat still said those annoying words to irritate Thomas.

But this time, Thomas was calmer than Louis had imagined.

He sat for a long time, and seeing his teammates play better than one in his absence, he must have been greatly stimulated.

It's hard for him to laugh so cheaply, and Lu Yi has to say a word about it.

Thomas obviously doesn't want to destroy the team's original tacit understanding because of his return.

So he handed the ball to Bird and stood obediently on the sidelines.

Bird just stood still with the ball and attracted two double-teams, and then passed the ball to Lambiel.

Lambiel returned to Thomas awkwardly.

Thomas back pass, corner, John Long scored a three-pointer, the perfect "L" tactic.

"Shh!"

The deadly away game made Louis patted Cowens' butt in satisfaction: "Look at how silky this tactic is!"

"You have to respect my ass!" Cowens said angrily, "This is the ass that has passed countless legends!"

Louis looked at the score, and accidentally, the gap between the two sides reached 37 points.

The Mavericks want to press the rhythm, they don't want to fall behind by 40 points at halftime.

This is also unacceptable to Dick Motta.

They didn't expect that Louis stood directly on the sidelines and yelled: "Whoever wins the ball, I will give him a $3000 bonus in his own name!"

Under the reward, there must be a reckless man.

Louis never expected Bird, the damn country bumpkin, to bring the opponent down for $3000, and found himself a foul.

The Mavericks player who was brought down clashed with Bird on the spot.

Lambiel just wanted to try to persuade the fight, but was separated by the referee.

"Larry, what's the matter with this little money? It's okay to hurt your conscience?" Louis asked.

Bird sneered: "No matter what the price is, it will be blamed on you in the end. Who asked you to lure us with money?"

Is that what someone with a $60 annual salary says?Putting people down for $3000?
Louie somewhat underestimated Bird's moral lower limit. He brought people down.

He invited the opponent into the examination room and presented him with a worldwide problem that broke the hearts of countless Chinese fans in 2019.

Throwin!
How many Chinese fans will think of Zhou Qi's chic skills when they see these three words?

That scene will never be forgotten by Louis. For him, Zhou Qi means to him, just like he persuaded Sampson to participate in the draft in 1980.He "lied" Zhou Qi to come to XJ, but Zhou Qi's development was not as good as he said at the beginning.

That sideline ball is like the epitome of Zhou Qi's career so far. As much as you desire him to achieve glory with his once-in-20-year talent in Asian basketball, you will be more disappointed by the sideline ball that was not sent to Zhao Rui's arms.

It symbolizes the shattering of a nation's basketball dreams.

Seeing that the Mavericks were about to serve a sideline kick, Louis returned to the front of the crossing in a trance, and suddenly discovered that this might be Bird's conspiracy.

Then, the Mavericks, who were unaware of this, sent out a bad ball that was as good as Qi Qi.

"Snapped!"

Bird steals!

Louis saw Mota's madness, his thoughts, from 2019 in the previous life, back to 1984 in the current life, memory is a road of no return, just like the sentence in "One Hundred Years of Solitude", the past is all fake.No matter how bitter the past is, in the final analysis it is just a fleeting reality, only loneliness is eternal.

Bird dribbles downfield, and now he's not the bumpkin Louie described him as.

"Hey, why is no one guarding me?" Byrd looked at Dick Mota.

When he said this, three people from the Mavericks rushed in front of him.

Then he forced an unreasonable three-pointer against the opponent's defense.

"Shh!"

Larry Legend sat on the ground defiantly, and said defiantly: "Even if I can't guard against it, it's no wonder you are 40 points behind."
