the rest, only noise

Chapter 211 Empty Bird?Lakers are serious

The Celtics continue to move forward.

Defeated the Sonics, they won 51 wins, and then went to Los Angeles to hold a rematch with the Lakers.

As before, CBS will broadcast the game live across the United States, but the second contest between the two sides has less publicity than the previous one.

Those who are interested will come to see it, and those who are not interested will not be able to come no matter how much they promote it.

Unless, let the duel between Bird and the magician become a social event.

The league and related media have been working in this direction.

It's not the first time for Louis to come to the Forum Arena. He used to be an assistant coach. Now, as the head coach, he brings the team into it. It feels so different.

The boos flying all over the sky went straight to his eardrums. He understood that Lakers fans remembered everything, including how Elgin Baylor and Jerry West's Lakers were slaughtered by the Celtics 20 years ago, they all remembered.

That Lakers team made the playoffs eight times and ended in failure seven times.

Among them, they lost to the Celtics five times and lost to the Knicks twice.

At the game site, many celebrities can be seen.

There is Jack Nicholson, an absolute diehard fan of the Lakers, and Debra Winger (Debra Winger).

There are also Eddie Murphy, an actor that Louis likes very much, and Jamie Lee Curtis, a former sexual enlightenment, whose pole dance in "True Lies" is definitely a timeless classic.

At this time, there are still 10 years before she starred in that work. She looks very young and tender, and she is not so like Xie Na.

Louis could recognize these at a glance, and there were even more celebrities who couldn't.

This kind of celebrity effect and specifications are not comparable to Boston Garden. Jerry Buss used Show Time to promote the Lakers, making celebrities feel that it is something to be proud of to be able to watch the game in the front row of the forum.

Bath's strategy was a great success, but unfortunately, this kind of success has never been taken seriously by the Celtics.

The Celtics reject the spirit of entertainment.

When Louie came to midfield, Murphy jumped up and yelled, "Go to Celtic!"

Pat Riley beamed: "We can't let our celebrity fans down."

While shaking hands with Riley, Louie looked back at Murphy, "Eddie, you're a New Yorker here cheering for the Lakers, are you okay?"

Murphy said confidently: "I know what I'm doing! I spend ten times more time in Los Angeles than in New York all year round. Who do you think I should cheer for? Besides, is that New York team considered an NBA team? They've made it to the playoffs. How can they be as good as the Lakers?"

It was the first time for Louis to see such a confident winner.

"Yes! Yes! Beat the Celtics to the ground!" Not far from Murphy, a beautiful woman far superior to Curtis shouted, shaking her fist.

Although Louis believes that Lorraine is the most beautiful woman in the world, the young woman who is cheering for the Lakers at this time, although not as beautiful as Lorraine, has a smile like a magician, which is very sweet and makes people unconsciously have a good impression.

"I was thinking of winning the game and it's over." Louis ignored Riley, especially unhappy that the beauty stood on his opposite side, "Because of you, today's game will not stop until we win by more than 15 points!"

"Impossible!" She seemed unaware that the Lakers lost almost 20 points in Boston last time. "I am invincible in the world!"

"That's right!" Murphy didn't seem to know how many points the Lakers lost to the Celtics in the away game.

He said proudly: "Larry Bird is just an overrated white guy, he is a million miles worse than No-Maj!"

"Yes, Larry is overrated!" cried the beauty again.

Louis asked inexplicably: "You are also white. Even if you support the Lakers, you shouldn't deny Larry, right? He is the great hope of white people."

When Louis said that she was white, her eyes were straightened with anger: "Who is white? You are white, and you look white from top to bottom!"

"I'll go." Louis said with a smile, "Although you are very beautiful, you can't tell the difference, your judgment is limited, and your eyesight is not good. You are born beautiful, and your skin is fair and beautiful because your parents have good genes. But no matter how white my skin is, I am obviously Asian. Anyone can see this."

"You are white!"

Knowing that she deliberately messed with her mentality, Louis laughed on the spot and ignored her.

"Wait!" Riley called out to Louis.

Louis looked back inexplicably.

"Coach Lu, out of respect for your opponent, you should at least shake my hand." Riley stretched out his hand as if he had obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Louis came back to him embarrassedly, held his hand and said, "I didn't mean to."

"I understand you. Every coach of the visiting team who comes to the forum will be dazzled." Riley said proudly, "Except for the forum and the garden (Madison Garden) more than ten years ago, you can't see so many celebrity fans in other arenas."

Louis smiled and said, "If I were you, I might not be so happy, because if you lose and lose ugly, it will definitely leave a bad impression on these people."

"Don't worry, Coach Lu." Riley said calmly and confidently, "I've prepared a whole bunch of plans for you!"

At this time, during the warm-up, the magician completed a tomahawk snap that Bird would not be able to do in his next life, which delighted the audience.

Wilkins followed up with a large dunk with folded hands, which made people in the forum feel goosebumps again.

The beautiful fan challenged Louis again: "You wait to lose!"

Louis waved to her with a smile and said nothing more.

He thought carefully about the other person's appearance, and it seemed that he was not completely white.If she is a real white person, she should be a little whiter, but her appearance is obviously a bit brownish.

This shows that she may be a black and white?

According to the principle of one drop of blood, she should be black.

If Louie's guess is right, it's no wonder she reacted so badly when he heard Louis say that she was white.

White people do not allow the slightest impurity in their blood, as long as they are mixed, they are not white.Blacks are the other way around, as long as there is a drop of black blood in their blood, they are all black.

Louis didn't bother to deal with this idea, the game was about to start.

Although the opponent was the Lakers, Louis still continued to play with the strategy of the previous game, without any other changes.

Because the Lakers will definitely meet in the finals, now, hide as much as you can.Instead, he wondered what the basketful of plans Riley was talking about.

As a result, when Riley's basket of plans was initially shown in front of Louis, he and the rest of the coaching staff were stunned.

On the Celtics' first possession, when the ball was passed to Bird on the outside, the Lakers' defense surprisingly retreated.

"what's the situation?"

Louie muttered.

Bird has always been an opponent that the opponent focuses on marking. The Lakers actually played the opposite way. They emptied Bird from the outside!
This stunned Louie, KC Jones, Tomjanovich and Cowens.

Since the opponent let him shoot, Bird was naturally not polite. He raised his hand and threw a three-pointer. He wanted to teach the Lakers a lesson, but his hand slipped and he missed the shot.

"You bumpkin, you're useless if I give you a chance!" Louis shouted angrily.

Byrd was used to ignoring Louie's voice, and besides, he was angry.

For a player like him, the harder the opponent defends, the happier he is. Suddenly the Lakers don't defend against his three-pointer, which is simply an insult to him.

The three-pointer made by the iron was turned into a counterattack by the Lakers.

The magician looked like he wanted to avenge his last shot in the garden, and he rushed to dunk.

In the last round, Louis was not sure whether the Lakers really wanted to release Bird's three-pointer. In the next round, he was basically sure.

The Lakers really want to let go of Bird's three-pointer.

It seems like death, but when you think about it carefully, it seems that it is not unreasonable.

Bird shot at least five three-pointers per game under Louie's instructions, and made 1.8 hits. Compared with his two-pointers, his three-point shooting percentage is not that high. Moreover, although five three-pointers per game is already the number one in the league, it is not enough to cause a qualitative change.

The concept that a 33.5% three-point rate is better than a 50% two-point rate cannot be established under his production.

Therefore, Riley chose to let go of his three-pointer, which is a bet that he will not be able to maintain his efficiency after his production increases.

Then, Bird's second three-pointer hit the iron again.

This time, Bird became furious and made a tactical foul against the magician who was about to fight back.

Louie smiled.

"Larry, don't shoot if you can't make the shot. Everyone has a bad hand, even you." Louis has always been able to use aggressive tactics.

Hearing his words, Bird, who had already decided not to shoot, turned around and said angrily: "Why didn't they shoot when they gave me a chance? Do you think I will keep missing shots?"

"You've conceded two goals in a row."

"The next goal must be scored!"

Louie wasn't sure if Bird's next shot was a must.

He only saw the Lakers fighting on the ground. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who went crazy at home in the Garden not long ago, has reconciled with his teammates as before, turned around and used a skyhook, and then went in.

The Lakers started off 4-0.
