the rest, only noise

Chapter 197

One of the rare times when Sampson jumped the ball, the player standing in front of him was as big as him.

According to the original basketball rules, both sides have to jump the ball every quarter to decide the possession of the ball.With Abdul-Jabbar's physical advantage, he can easily win the ball in every quarter.Auerbach therefore suggested to the league that only jump the ball at the beginning to determine the ownership of the ball in the next three quarters.

This proposal, which was unfavorable to the team with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar at the time, was unanimously supported by other teams. It was another small example of Auerbach's tricks, but now it has become a rule that everyone can accept.

The possession of the ball to start the game is nothing more than grabbing an opportunity.

"Snapped!"

The Lakers pat the ball into their own court.

Abdul-Jabbar sternly demanded his seat.

The Magic pass the ball to Wilkes, and then Wilkes lobs Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the low post.

Unsurprisingly, the Lakers' first offense always leaves Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with the skyhook.

Lambiel tried his best to hold Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's left shoulder as Thurmond suggested, but he couldn't deal with the latter's turning hook.

2 is better than 0
"The physical fitness is too poor, he can't get up at all." Thurmond shook his head.

This was expected by Louis, and he shouted: "Take a quick attack, don't give him a chance to fight alone!"

The Celtics' counterattack was also quick.

The Lakers were busy retreating, not thinking about deploying defense.

Thomas charged into the crowd like a scooter, passing the ball to Bird on the left without looking.

Bird followed up to catch the ball and shot directly.

2 is better than 2
The magician moved very quickly. Bird's ball had just been scored in less than two seconds, and he had already pushed it to the frontcourt.

This rhythm is uncomfortable for Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Before he retreated to the backcourt just now, the Celtics' counterattack was completed.Now that the magician quickly pushed to the frontcourt again, he didn't do anything back and forth, and then habitually went to the low post to ask for the ball.

The Magic faced John Long from outside the three-point line and lobbed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

In an instant, Lang turned around to flank Kareem.

It is a pity that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar got the ball up ahead of time, and just as he was about to pass back to the magician, he was fouled severely by Lambir behind him by pulling his arm.

"Clean up your fucking moves!" Jabbar snarled.

"How clean do you want?" Lambiel asked angrily, "I don't wash my hands after wiping my ass!"

The young referee Dan Crawford (Dan Crawford) stepped forward to stop: "Please calm down!"

This scene made the audience hooked.

"I'm relieved." Heinsohn said in the stands that his butt was so crooked, "The Celtics are still the Celtics I'm familiar with."

What he said is very bad, and it will make people misunderstand that the Celtics will only use such indecent methods.

Thurmond next to Louis praised Lambiel's move: "Although the defensive effect is poor, he is willing to foul, which is good."

"It's a pity that there is a rule of six offenders in the game." Louis said regretfully.

This provision severely weakened Lambiel's threat.

The Lakers serve again, and this time, the magician suddenly sideways at the top of the arc like a juggling lightning with one hand straight to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

He moved too fast, and after Abdul-Jabbar got the ball, he attacked the basket on the spot.

A right-hand frontal skyhook.

Even Abdul-Jabbar was not used to the sudden start.

"boom!"

As long as the Lakers don't enter, the Celtics can play their own characteristics.

They rank first in the league in defensive rebounding percentage and, moreover, rank third in the league in rotation offense.

Although not as good as the league's No. [-] Lakers, the gap between the league's No. [-] and No. [-] players is only the gap between Isiah Thomas and the Magician.

Although the Celtics do not have the exaggerated athletic ability of the Lakers, their counterattack finishing ability is not bad at all.

Under the leadership of Thomas, they first passed the ball to Bird, and then Bird hit the ground to pass Sampson.

Sampson catches the ball and drives to the hoop, and there's no one there to stop him from hitting the rim.

4 is better than 2
"The Celtics' counterattack is no worse than the Lakers!" Heinsohn commented, "Whether it's the transfer of the ball, the positioning of the players, or the awareness of finding someone with the first pass and the second pass, you can see Coach Lu's influence on the Celtics. This is an offense that was invisible in the era of Bill Fitch!"

Dick Stockton laughed: "In the Fitch era, we only saw Isiah go straight to the basket."

"Yeah, Coach Fitch prefers to make quick cuts."

"What Coach Lu pursues is the sense of participation of the whole team."

There are some similarities between Pat Riley and Louie.

They're both young coaches and, moreover, love numbers, especially those that require careful calculation.However, Riley is not backed by Oracle, so he relies more on his assistant coaches and statisticians to obtain data. He knows very well that the Celtics' high-post offensive system relies on the two sharpshooters at the bottom corner and the top of the arc.

But tonight, why did the Celtics change their gender?

They suddenly played like the Lakers, and they seized the rotation opportunities to score quickly.

They also play Show Time?

When the Lakers fell into battle, they really encountered a problem.

Pocket formations don't work well against Magic because he doesn't rely on driving to get points, and although he can't shoot threes, he can hit mid-range shots from the high post.

Therefore, there must be someone in front of him.

Louis never expected to lock up the magician with pocket formations, what he wanted was to lock down the echoes of other people and the magician.

Judging from the Lakers' starting lineup, apart from Magic, there is no second person with superb passing skills.

After Norm Nixon was sent away, it is not an exaggeration to say that the magician alone supported the Show Time system.

Abdul-Jabbar was confronted by Ranbir like a mad dog, looking for contact.

He is already at this age, the pace of the game is fast, and if the intensity of confrontation continues to rise, it is hard to say whether he can persist.

Lang was afraid of the magician's shot, but he was even more afraid of his breakthrough, so he let it go.

The magician broke through with the dribble, found someone ready to help defend, and rushed out the ball.

His ball is caught by Sampson's long arm.

Fortunately, he was rescued by himself and passed to Wilkins who was cut from the wing.

The Lakers had hoped to use Wilkins' athletic ability to bully Bird, but it turned out to be Sampson who came out to defend him.

Wilkins, whose shooting ability was not stable enough, dribbled the ball and stormed the basket, and jumped himself into the center of the pocket formation with a big leap.

Now, no matter how amazing his physical fitness is, it is impossible to jump up.

The ball was copied by Bird, and the Lakers lost the ball again.

As early as the moment Wilkins strode into the basket, Sampson predicted that his offense would be messed up, so he went down early.

Bird picked up the ball, saw Sampson's position and sent a long pass.

"Larry made a great pass, Ralph made a fast break and dunked, Good!"

Stockton quickly explained, and Heinsohn commented in a timely manner: "What's going on, the Celtics are playing like Show Time compared to the Lakers?"

"Tom, what do you think is the problem with the Lakers?" Stockton asked.

"Their starting lineup makes the offensive space narrow." Heinsohn is biased, and his business ability is no problem. "Magic, Dennis, Dominique, and Jamal started together. This looks like a dynamic lineup, but we saw that they didn't have a chance to play their vitality on the defensive end because their offensive end blocked the way."

"No spirituality, no space."

"That's the first thing they want to fix."

As soon as Heinsohn finished speaking, Big Johnson passed to the Magician from the backcourt.

The magician's LOGO received the ball, just like Tetsuya Kuroko in this world, one-handed qigong wave pushed and passed to Wilkins on the bottom line.

A second later, the essence of human movies was projected over the garden.

In order to defend, Lambiel was buckled by the neck, and the bottom line referee even called him a defensive foul.

"When you see me dunk you better get the fuck out of the way!" Wilkins yelled.

"uh-huh?"

Lambiel committed two crimes, and when he heard Wilkins' words, his face became gloomy.

However, Louis has decided to make a substitution.

He replaced Lambiel with Maxwell.

"Let me play for a while, maybe I will surprise you." Lambiel said.

Louis smiled and said, "If your surprise is revenge for a malicious foul, forget it."

"No way, you can guess this?"

"There are only a few bedbugs in your stomach, it's not difficult to guess."

Louis has no objection to Lambiel becoming Lambiel, but now is not the time.

If the Pistons didn't come up with Jordan's rules after being beaten up by Jordan, but instead asked Lambir or others to kill Jordan before the game, then the composition of this team would be problematic.

Only when you are severely hurt and you are sure that no method can stop the other party, you go to extremes.It's still unacceptable, but at least you tried your best.

Is it hard for people to accept this "hardest road" without trying hard enough?
The Lakers were about to make free throws, and Louie called Maxwell to his side and said: "Next, Kareem will be defended by Ralph. You must always pay attention to the double-team. If the double-team is too late, focus on their passing route."

Maxwell was confused: "How to do it?"

"No-Maj will just pass the ball to Kareem's right hand, watch that!" Louie said.

"Of course."

Maxwell was on, and Wilkins' extra penalty hit the iron.

Bird grabs the defensive rebound and throws it to Thomas.

The Lakers retreated quickly.

Finally, the Celtics are also going to play positional warfare.

On the offensive end, both teams need to cross the river by feeling the stones to try out the opponent's depth.

The Lakers' defensive strategy was obvious from the first round.

They put the big guy Johnson against Thomas, the magician against Bird, Wilkins went to the false fourth position Maxwell, Wilkes stared at John Long, and put Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Sampson in the middle to PK.

Although the defense line can be stretched, the Lakers always want to hold the penalty area.

Their philosophy is a bit different from other teams dealing with the Celtics.

Most teams want to try the Celtics' three-pointers, and only want to defend after being shot in the face.And they didn't give the chance to vote from the beginning.
