the rest, only noise

Chapter 199 McAdon Appears

John Patterson/Long, Bird, Ainge, Lambiel, Louie What is certain is that only the Celtics can come up with five players who can score from beyond the three-point line at once.

It is very rare for other teams to have one outside turret.

Now that Pat Riley wants to control both the penalty area and the three-point line, and their defense can really do it, Louie has to find a way to let the defense on one side get out of control, so as to radiate to the other.

Louis does not believe that there is a team that can control the outside and inside, which is unreasonable.

In the second quarter, the Celtics kicked off.

Paxson made a solid dribble upfield and gave the ball to Bird high up.

Bird winked, and Lambiel came up to pick and roll.This is tantamount to the pick-and-roll from the inside to the inside. At this time, the Lakers' inside lineup is Bob McAdoo partner Kurt Rambis, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar went down to rest.

McAdoo and Rambis, one black and one white, but the strange thing is that although these two big men can pull out to shoot, as a white man, Rambis's style is much tougher than McAdoo.

He took the initiative to defend Bird. When encountering pick-and-rolls and needing to count on McAdoo, the latter's defense is usually not strong.

Suddenly, Lambiel helped Bird block someone, and then immediately bounced outside.

Seeing Lambiel going outside, both Rambis and McAdoo thought that there was no need to go out to defend, and they wanted to pinch Bird on the spot.

All Bird had to do was throw the ball to Lambiel behind him.

Outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, Lambiel caught the ball and threw a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

27 is better than 27
"I love your shitty defense!" Lambiel sneered.

Bird saw Rambis and McAdoo who looked confused, and said a cold joke: "Don't be afraid, he can score at most 100 goal in 1 goals with this kind of ball."

Off the court for the Lakers, Pat Riley couldn't help but feel tight when he saw Lambiel make a three-pointer.

He has to be nervous, the data shows that Lambiel can shoot three-pointers, Bird can shoot three-pointers, and the other three Celtics can also shoot three-pointers.

Originally, they only needed to pay attention to two three-pointers, but now each of them can shoot three-pointers, and the difficulty of defense has greatly increased.

The magician wants to force the positional battle into a fast break.

He dribbled the ball to the frontcourt with strides, and opened his hand to send another iconic one-handed Qigong wave push⑴.

This kind of passing method is fancy, and the turnover rate is a bit high. If one can't control it, it is easy to send the ball.

The magician made a mistake.

This is already the second time Louis has seen the magician make such a mistake tonight.

The Lakers' fast break is invincible, but their turnovers per game are also high.

Such freehand passing like the Magician is undoubtedly an important reason why their average turnovers per game rank fourth in the league.

It's too rough!
This time is not bad, the teammate did not catch the ball out of bounds, if it falls to the ground and is picked up by the Celtics, they will definitely hit him with a hard counterattack.

Louis walked to the sidelines, stretched out his right hand and separated his five fingers.

Paxson saw his gestures and followed his instructions to call for tactics.

It was a high post again, Bird got the ball, put his back on Rambis, and Lambis came to pick and roll.

The Lakers thought they were repeating the old tricks, and they didn't realize that Ainge, who was on the weak side, swam in like a snake.

Bird was clearly on his back, but he seemed to have locked Angie's position early, throwing the ball behind his head without looking at anyone.

Angie made an easy layup.

29 is better than 27
"What can you do with this kind of ball? Larry is so good!" Heinsohn praised. "He's the best basketball player I've ever seen!"

"Moreover, from the beginning to now, Larry's presence is obviously greater than that of the magician."

This may be the evaluation that the magician is least willing to hear. He dribbles forward from the backcourt. Although he has the ability to shoot inside the three-point line, the Celtics' defense against him is still mainly to limit breakthroughs.

McAdoo comes up for the pick-and-roll, and John Long rolls around the screen without thinking.

Magic pulls up for a jumper high on the left wing.

However, one of the disadvantages of this lineup on the Celtics field is that the rebounds are not strong enough.

Rambis and Lambiel are both white insiders, but the rebounder has the demeanor of a black collar. Every time he grabs a rebound, he seems to be desperate.

He grabs the offensive rebound and Magic comes inside and misses out on Danny Ainge.

A teammate passed the ball, and the magician hit the body and scored.

29 is better than 29
Bird sends a long pass from the backcourt.

John Paxson had a chance for a fast break, but was caught by Dominique Wilkins and given a peg cap.

The ball flew from the penalty area to the outside line and was picked up by John Long.

At this time, the Lakers players were all under the basket, and Lang was left alone.

In one breath, Byron Scott ran to him, but it was too late, and Long aimed at the basket for an open [-]-pointer.

32 is better than 29
The Lakers' strategy is failing.

They tried to use their size and athletic ability to maximize the defensive strength of the outside and inside, forcing the Celtics to use the mid-range to win.If the Celtics shoot a lot of mid-range shots, the efficiency is definitely not guaranteed. At that time, every defensive rebound the Lakers take will turn into Show Time.

Pat Riley's calculation was good. He wanted to fully suppress the Celtics' offense, but underestimated the flexibility of the Celtics' offensive system.

He even didn't expect that Louie could make five three-pointers.

The Celtics' defense is also more targeted than the Lakers'. Although Magic has strong personal abilities, he shoulders the responsibility of leading the Lakers' offense.

Therefore, he cannot make decisions arbitrarily.

Everything he does is responsible for the entire team.

As I said before, the Lakers can play ten-man rotations.

The worst players in this ten-man rotation can start for weak teams. Bass' ability to use money makes these people willing to play as substitutes, but how to make them happy requires the joint efforts of the coaching staff and the magician.

The magician sacrificed a lot of personal offense to activate the team. Invisibly, he lost a lot of opportunities to exercise his offensive ability.

Therefore, Louis let the players on the field ignore the Lakers' pick-and-rolls, switched defenses a lot, forced the Lakers to single out, and completely let go of their three-pointers.

After switching defenses, block the movement of the ball first, force a stop if he can, and don't make him too comfortable if he can't stop. If the player without the ball wants to find the opponent to fight, the defensive intensity should not be low.

The Lakers have three or four heads-up players on the court, and they all need magicians to deliver ammunition.

This round, the Magic passed the ball to McAdoo, who helped the Celtics rebuild with flesh and blood.

In fact, ML Karl is also a feat for the reconstruction of the Celtics.In order to sign him, the Celtics had to compensate the Pistons.No one thought that the compensation would turn into a compensation transaction after all the manipulations. In the end, the compensation needs to be put in quotation marks to be interpreted correctly.

Future fans may not have imagined McAdoo's position and role in the entire history of the Celtics.

He symbolizes the lowest point of the Celtics in the 70s, but he himself is a decent offensive superstar.

As one of the early beneficiaries of the NBA's salary boom, his selfishness has not been restrained by the times.From the late 20s to the mid-60s, league salaries rose sixfold, thanks partly to bidding wars between the NBA and the ABA, but also thanks to television's vision of basketball's future as a "hot sport," a game more in tune with younger audiences than baseball.

Within a few years, star salaries skyrocketed, from around $75000 to around $60.For a time, the salary of a star was equivalent to 4-5 times that of a coach.Earning a lot of money has made many stars less competitive, and suddenly, the priority of stars like McAdoo has become avoiding injuries, which is the only thing between them and wealth.Wealth, in turn, makes players start to expand their ego, play with things and get discouraged, so they lose their fighting spirit prematurely, and they never reach the peak they should have.

McAdoo became one of those players who was blamed for his softer game, concerned only with staying rich.

It is impossible for such a player to become a Celtic player under normal conditions, but who would have thought of it?Auerbach was told without his knowledge that the team traded three first rounders for McAdoo.Consider Louie's reaction to trading Larry Nance for two first-rounders.This kind of transaction is almost killing him.

The time when McAdoo put on the Celtics jersey is something that no one in Boston wants to look back on.Therefore, everyone also selectively forgets his "significant contribution" to the Celtics' glorious 80s.

McAdoo took the ball with his back and wanted to force Lambiel. His body is fine, but he insisted on turning over and causing his teammates to fall back in cardiac arrest.

"boom!"

McAdoo's offense hit the neck of the basket and sent the Celtics back.

Heinsohn couldn't help but taunt: "McAdon⑵ appeared!"

⑴Although the description is a bit exaggerated, as long as you have watched the highlights of the magician, or the famous magic sports high school inspirational BL animation "Heizi's Basketball", you should be deeply impressed by this kind of one-handed push pass with special effects.Heizi's push pass is several times stronger than that of the magician. The teammate who can pass directly from the backcourt to the midfield position, the magician's one-handed push pass is usually the teammate who stands at the top of the arc and pushes to the basket.

⑵McAdoo's English name is McAdoo, and Celtic fans don't like him, so they gave him the nickname "McAdon".
