the rest, only noise

Chapter 215
"It seems that as long as the Celtics game is broadcast live, they will make a little unexpected movement."

There was one more thing Dick Stockton didn't understand.

"What I don't understand the most is that they are the one who gets attacked every time, but all the attackers complain about their violence on the field after the game."

It would be unwise for Stockton to single out the incident, since his partner was Tom Heinsohn.

Can you expect him to be objective about things linked to the Celtics?

Heinsohn's performance did not disappoint.

He defended the Celtics' games with violence in the national broadcast: "Be meticulous about the ball and people. This is the attitude that a champion should have. Many teams don't understand this style, so they don't have a championship. They don't know how to win 13 championships in 11 years."

There are two loopholes in this remark. What does the Celtics in the 60s have to do with the Celtics today?Bird's annual salary can hire 25 Bill Russells.Also, although the Celtics in the 60s were tough, they were more similar to the toughness of the Pistons in the new century. They were not rough, and they would not always fight with others.

Even fans can easily refute Heinsohn.

But the fans don't have this platform. They can't jump in from the TV to overturn the commentary booth and tell the whole country how outrageous Heinsohn's words are.

So, I can only watch him sit there and take the rhythm.

Every Celtics fan would support his words, and on the court, the two protagonists of the night, Bird and Magic, began to confront each other frequently in the second quarter.

After the magician came back, as long as he dropped the post, Bird would find a way to intercept his ball.

Sometimes, Bird will personally defend.

If Bird defends, the magician's passing tendency will be greatly reduced, and the offensive aggressiveness will be significantly improved.

In order to find out whether the magician regards the opponent as the biggest competitor like Bird, Louis asked Tomjanovich to count a statistic.

Magic's offensive options against Bird, and Magic's offensive options against everyone else.

The results are delightful.

In the second quarter, as long as the magician is facing Bird, the probability of choosing to complete the offense by himself is as high as 75%.

If other people come to defend, the probability of attacking by oneself drops to 20%.

"It's really a pair of enemies."

Louis sighed after reading the data.

Both Bird and Magic are team superstars at the Presidential Hill level, with a clear tendency to help their teammates perform well.

However, their style of play is different.

Bird tends to be an all-around offensive forward, and Magic is a great overall operator.

As long as he helps the Lakers score, Bird will try to come back in the next round.

For those fans who want to watch the duel between black and white, the second half of the second quarter is extremely eye-catching. Due to the smell of gunpowder created by Bird, the two sides are at war, and the action is real.

When the Magic shredded the Celtics defense from the top of the arc and went to the penalty area to play a European step dunk that shocked Louie, Louie was sure that Bird would rush to the frontcourt and return.

Bird hit back Michael Cooper, the Lakers' No. [-] iron gate.

His fake action made Cooper's defense look ashamed, but the shot didn't feel good.

Bird was the first person to realize that the ball would not go in, and he was also the first person to run to the rebound. He reacted faster than anyone else on the field, and succeeded in grabbing the offensive rebound, but was surrounded by the Lakers and couldn't move on the baseline. Behind him was out of bounds.

"Larry has no way out!"

Yes, if you step back, you will be out of bounds. If you pass the ball at risk, there is a high probability of being intercepted.

Maybe it's better to step out of bounds and make a mistake?

At least it can save the Lakers from playing a counterattack fast break.

If Byrd had given up so easily, he wouldn't be him.

The Lakers have a good plan, but Bird is a low-quality person!

He jumped out of bounds, and assumed a golden rooster independent posture that he didn't even realize.

"Is he going to shoot behind the rim?"

By the time the words fell, Bird had turned the prediction into reality, shooting an incredible high-arcing shot from out of bounds to the hoop behind the rim.

Only the streetball players at Rock Park play this hand.

Moreover, the hit rate cannot be guaranteed, not to mention that no one will defend them when they do this, and Bird is facing a pincer attack from three people.

The ball, staring at the center of the rim as if with eyes, fell.

"Shh!"

I got a big weed!
Louie's heart was full of turmoil, and he stared at Byrd in shock.

Bird rolled his eyes at the audience, and said to the three Lakers generals who flanked him: "I originally wanted to try to see if I could wipe the board from behind the basket, but I didn't expect it to be hollow, alas."

Halfway through the act, he was slapped hard by Louis outside the field: "How about you be a fucking human being!"

This is the climax of the first half, and it is the epitome of the black and white duo facing Biao.

Talent, brilliance, IQ, leadership, determination, dominance, dominance.

They used just half a session to prove to the whole world that the era of Ma Long and Doctor, the old men of the last era, is over.

Ahead, what awaits the fans is the most glorious golden age ever.

Two wizards who meet once in 30 years follow the general trend, and they will surely hit the brightest light.

56 is better than 54
The Celtics led the Lakers by 2 points and the game entered the second half.

Louis, as usual, was interviewed halftime.

"Coach Lu, the confrontation between Larry and the Magician feasted our eyes. Is this within your plan?"

Louie smiled and said, "No, we are a team, and it is just a coincidence that we will not have such a highly personal arrangement."

"Who do you think is better, Larry or Magic?"

A normal head coach will praise the opponent and then express his position: I must say that my people are better, but this only represents my personal opinion.

Louie is a star coach because he's abnormal, very abnormal.

From age, to team leadership performance, to frivolous and arrogant image, everything is abnormal.

"Magic is better." Louie laughed. "He has two NBA championships, one more than Larry. Moreover, he beat Larry head-on in college. The answer is obvious."

Louis here is trying to stimulate Byrd.

There was also Heinsohn helping him wash the floor ahead: "Little Lu is too modest. In fact, Larry has several obvious advantages over magicians."

The problem is Louie never cared who was better.

The first thing he said when he returned to the locker room was: "The first half was just a joke with them. Next, we're going to get serious. Listen carefully to every word I say next!"

When Louis didn't have a smile on his face, when Louis came in without cursing, when Louis arranged the venue seriously and energetically, the Celtic locker room was as quiet as a principal inspecting a certain class.

"The Lakers played very energetically, but Kareem was tired."

Louie spoke loudly.

"A tired Kareem is no bigger threat than Bill. You have to keep putting pressure on him."

"Shrink the defense, don't care about their three-pointers, how they ignore Larry's three-pointers, you ignore their outside shooters even more brazenly."

"Shrinking is to control the middle. I don't want to see the magician break through from the outside and make a few tricks to score inside. I have seen enough in the first half!"

When Louis said this, he finally smiled: "To prove that we are serious, I suggest that you put the magician down at least once in the second half."

"After you prove your toughness with fouls, you will come to the most important link."

Louis focused on the restricted area: "The magician will not give up combing the offense because of your fouls. He will also break through and compete with Larry. Therefore, you must attack him decisively in this position!"

Thomas had doubts: "In this way, the wings will be empty."

"That's right! I wonder if Dominique Wilkins' two-point shot is reliable, and I wonder if Dennis Johnson's open 45-pointer from the right [-] degrees can punish us."

Louis does not believe that Wilkins has a stable mid-range shot.

I don't even believe that Dazi Johnson, who has never touched the three-point line in the first half of his life, can practice a seemingly unnecessary open three-pointer in a few years.

If the game requires it, Louis believes that players of any era can practice three-pointers.

Shooting is hard work and the fairest skill for a player.

If some player has been in the league for many years and still makes headlines for scoring threes, you can definitely question what he usually practices.

In particular, they also like to release their own training videos during the offseason. In the videos, they are always unbelievably accurate, and then in the game, should they refuse to vote or refuse to vote.

These people should be thankful for that unique era.

The rules force big men to be more versatile, so they have to shoot [-]s, which can help open up space for some cripples who haven't been able to shoot [-]s for several years.

Most of the information that Louis needs to know has already been understood.

The rest is for the performance of Magician, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and others.

Tonight is just a test. If it works, there will be even bigger surprises for them in the finals.
