the rest, only noise

Chapter 212 The trick, the ladder over the wall

Bird was regarded by the Lakers as a handicapped person like Ben Simmons.

No, you can't actually say that.

When the three-point line was first introduced into the NBA, Ben Simmons per capita in the league considered you worthy of standing two or three meters away from the three-point line.

It's just that Bird's shooting skills have been proven, not that.

Riley suddenly used this trick, and Byrd was stunned, and the ensuing anger made him make a move, and he hit the iron again and again.Tonight, his three-pointer feels terrible.

As a result, the Celtics' first four offenses were all Bird's open three-pointers.

Bird missed the shot very "competitively". The four long rebounds produced by the four three-point strikes, three of which were transformed into the Lakers' Show Time counterattack. Although the other was fouled by Bird tactically, it allowed the Lakers to play positional warfare.

Abdul-Jabbar's skyhook scored that goal.

The Lakers therefore played an 8-0 start, and the Forum Arena became a monster.

Fans yelled passionately, as if doing so would cause more damage to the Celtics.

Louie called a timeout, but didn't scold him like he did when Bird missed his first open [-]-pointer.

"Larry, don't think about your three-pointer anymore." Louie laughed softly, "Let's not shoot tonight, okay?"

Bird has always been a proud and ambitious person. The Lakers look down on his three-pointers so much, and he will make these bastards pay the price.

So, with his head held high, he said domineeringly, as if he was 4 out of 4 instead of 4 out of 0: "No, I will continue to vote."

In an instant, the kindness on Louie's face turned into a stormy wind: "If it's not good, it's good! That fucking three-pointer you shot tonight? It's okay if I hit me, isn't it just that I can't make it? Maybe I can shoot a three-pointer and go out of bounds, so at least the Lakers can't play Show Time! You fucking look at your three-pointer that even dogs hate."

"Lu, we still have business to do," KC reminded.

It wasn't once or twice that Louis used the timeout time to scold others.

He woke Louis just in time.

Louis didn't stop there, glaring at Bird fiercely: "From now on, until the situation is clear, you are not allowed to shoot three-pointers. Tonight we will be a turtle!"

Louis held the tactical board, spoke like a hardcore rap singer, and said quickly: "Isaiah, from now on, you are the main attack! Larry, I want you to give him a pick and roll after seeing Isiah run through halftime."

Bird asked: "Isn't that going to be a pick-and-roll from beyond the three-point line?"

"Yes."

They have doubts, because Thomas' three-point threat is not great, and the Lakers are likely to ignore the pick-and-roll.

"If their defense doesn't step up, Isiah, you do."

Louis only spoke half, and the referee came to remind him.

"Damn it, it's all your fault, Larry! If you hadn't been messing around with me, I would have said a few more words!" Seeing that he couldn't finish talking about tactics, Louis threw the pot out angrily.

Bird would have the urge to punch Louie in the face every day, and he would never feel sorry for this handsome face.

Shit, this bastard!
Byrd cursed secretly.

Louie's teaching assistants were a bit worried, because he only arranged half of it just now.

"Don't you understand? This is called blank space in the movie, and let the audience taste the corner that doesn't give an answer." In fact, Louis didn't know in his heart that it was bad to not finish the tactics, but what could he do?Scold Bird again?
Come on, scolding Bird every day is shameless?

A mature coach should know how to leave a bit of light for the players
Don't get me wrong, Louie is immature, and he knows he's still a short way from it.

Louie really hopes that Riley will use the tactic of shorting Bird in the Finals.

If they think that Bird in today's state is normal, the Lakers will definitely suffer in the finals.

The intention for Bird to see Thomas pick and roll past halftime was to break up Dennis Johnson's annoying LOGO press.

This is Riley's little trick, let the big midfielder force Thomas, slow down his speed, and then mark the man seriously.

And Louis let Bird pick and roll after halftime, just to get rid of Thomas' predicament.

Once Dazi eats the pick-and-roll, or stops pressing after eating the pick-and-roll, Riley's plan fails.

Thomas who is not pressed, and Thomas who is pressed, the threat of holding the ball is not at the same level.

In the first round back from the timeout, Bird's pick-and-roll position stunned everyone.

Bird's matchup, Wilkins, had no idea how to handle the situation.

So he watched Thomas drive to the free throw line and score a jumper.

2 is better than 8
Riley put his left arm around his stomach, supported his left hand with his right elbow, and pinched his chin lightly: "Little Lu is really not in vain. He has more evil ideas than Larry Bird's trash talk."

How to do it?Riley told Dazi on the spot: "DJ, don't press Isiah anymore! If he calls the pick-and-roll again, you hide behind the pick-and-roll, don't worry about his three-pointer!"

By the way, he also said to Wilkins: "If Larry continues to run pick-and-rolls for him and retreats out after the pick-and-roll, you can directly pinch Isiah. If Larry cuts in after the pick-and-roll, you will chase after him!"

Riley thought of all the potential troubles.

The magician showed his kung fu of forcing a positional battle into a fast break with one hand.

The Celtics were already in place, so he just used his size advantage to open the defense and pass the ball to Wilkins.

Wilkins smashed the ball into the inside and wanted to blow up the basket, but was affected by Lambiel's textbook-like defense.

Not only did he not take off, even his shots were deformed.

After all, a vicious dog is a vicious dog, "famous all over the world", and Wilkins didn't want to hurt himself for a dunk.

The magician organized a beautiful attack, but it was a pity that Wilkins lacked courage.

Louis believed that Lambiel was just a normal defense, but Wilkins would rather miss than believe in his quality and morality.

Next, Louie saw Dennis Johnson move away from the logo and instead stood inside the three-point line waiting for Thomas to arrive.

Riley reacted quickly enough that Louie went to the sidelines and shouted, "Ralph, don't be idle!"

Bird's current hand feeling is no longer enough to open up space for Thomas. If he doesn't want the latter to use his personal ability to deal with it, he can only let Sampson, who has a medium-to-long range, come out to help.

Mobilizing Sampson means that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has to make a choice.

He never liked to follow the opponent's footsteps and go out to guard the defender. He is a person who longs to stay in the penalty area all his life.

At this moment, his bald spot must have been comforting himself crazily.

Larry Bird can't make a shot, how can the little guy make it?Let him go, don't worry, it's fine.

For whatever reason, Abdul-Jabbar didn't run out to defend.

So, Sampson blocked two opportunities with a pick-and-roll.

Thomas unselfishly passed up the scoring opportunity and passed back to Sampson.

Sampson stood on the free throw line and faced Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, then shot a jumper.

4 is better than 10
"You can never expect Kareem to go that high and delay the opponent!"

Tom Heinsohn has dealt with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar many times in the 70s, and he knows Kareem's virtues.

Pick-and-roll defense has never been in his world.

He has never guarded a pick-and-roll since he was a child, and not many teams will use the pick-and-roll to beat him exclusively.

Unfortunately, Louie comes from an era that developed the pick-and-roll to its apex.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's pick-and-roll defense is clumsy, but the offense is very eye-catching.

Get the ball in the low post, don't hit.

Wilkins cuts in, finds a tiny slit, and hits the ball through.

Wilkins, who got the ball, staged a slam dunk under the basket that made the audience suffer from diarrhea.

Of all the players Louie has ever seen in his life, Wilkins is the only player who can make people feel like he wants to smash the shit out of the rim when he dunks.

That kind of power, you can't help but worry about the basket.

What did the basket do wrong?Why treat the basket like that?

Abdul-Jabbar refused to come out to guard the pick-and-roll, and Riley couldn't force him out with a gun.

As far as Kareem's character is concerned, the more you push him, the more he wants to show you - if you don't go out, what will you do to me? —He can definitely do it.

Moreover, Riley is not yet the godfather of Miami, he is still a coach who needs to see the faces of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Magic and Jerry West.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to offend core players.

If Kareem Abdul-Jabbar doesn't go out, don't go out, how can he die?

If he doesn't go out, other people will help him out.

Sampson and Bird went out to help Thomas pick and roll again. Louis saw the Lakers let go of Bird, and then surrounded Thomas with the strength of the three, preparing to make a mistake.

This made Louis laugh.

Dennis Johnson + Rambis + Wilkins.

"Is this enough?" Louie worried for the Lakers.

The Lakers not only underestimated Thomas' personal ability, but also their defensive ability.

Dennis Johnson + Rambis' flanking strength is enough, but you still have Wilkins?
Louis seemed to see Sanying fighting Lu Bu, while Guan Zhang was fighting with the slaves of the three surnames, and at the same time had to protect his elder brother from any mistakes.

Wilkins' defense is like a modern-day Stoudemire.

Look at his 206 cm body, world-class running and jumping, and fast speed. Almost none of his shortcomings can affect his defensive ability, but his defense is just not good.

If future fans have no intuitive impression of the crazy small forwards who were stronger in offense and stupid in defense in the 80s, the Jazz's efficient scoring champions Adrian Dantley and Wilkins are both typical templates.

Thomas controlled the ball at a height of 20 centimeters, and the heights of the Lakers who came to flank were too tall. Wilkins even made a big hole, acting as a pick-and-roll wall for the smiling assassin, blocking his teammates.

Thomas rushed into the penalty area, raised his hand and made a throw, and hit the board.

6 is better than 12
