the rest, only noise

Chapter 244 You Know Me, Rudy (9113)

Maxwell had learned the previous lesson, and he didn't dare to give the magician any room to advance, keeping his body in front of him all the time.

The same height of 2 meters and 06 cm, the magician is obviously dewy, he is not that tall.

Louis suspects that the Magician's barefoot height should be only about 2 meters, because he always looks short when he stands with Bird.

Far less mobile than Magic, Maxwell was able to hold defensive positions, thanks to the hand-checking rule passed in 1978-1979.

It's a product of the days of Larry O'Brien, a president who loved old things, including "hand-checking."

The old men in the league haven't realized how much this rule affects the ball holder, so Maxwell, who is far less flexible than the magician, can rely on his hands to delay the magician's advancement.

The two came to the front court, and Maxwell immediately took a big step back to make room for the shot.

The Magic tried a few times, determined that Maxwell would not go forward, and he shot a high jumper from beyond the free throw line.

"Shh!"

5 is better than 4
"What Cedric needs to pay attention to is that the magician is not a player without the ability to shoot from high positions!" Heinsohn mistakenly thought that this was Maxwell's misjudgment, "We must guard against his shots!"

Maxwell looked at Louis, only to see Louis nodded, approving his defense.

It is Louie's choice to let the magician shoot from the high position. For breakthroughs and shots, one must always be put.The magician has both threats, so he can only shoot shots that are relatively less threatening.

If Magic has been able to make the ball, Louie may change tactics.

The Celtics are still a classic 1-4 high offensive formation.

Thomas called Bird's pick-and-roll, but didn't go on the side of the pick-and-roll, trying to confuse Dennis Johnson's defense and rush over.

Today's Dazi may not be in the same state as he won the FMVP in 1979, but his defense is even better. Although he does not have the blessing of DPOY, being selected for the first defense at the same time as Michael Cooper is enough to show his ability.

(PS: Have you ever written about Bird’s first team, second defense, and regular season MVP? If not, this paragraph will be supplemented)

His defense against Thomas is similar to the Celtics' defense against Magic. ·

They are all non-defense shots, focusing on breakthroughs.

Thomas failed to make a breakthrough and passed back Bird to make a mistake.

The ball hit Bird's feet and went out of bounds, and the ball was given to the Lakers for nothing.

Thomas raised his hand to signal "my fault". This is a common mistake. Going out of bounds may be the best result. If the Lakers get the live ball, I am afraid that a Show Time counterattack has been completed.

Maxwell defended the magician closely all the way.

Just beyond the three-point line, before he could drop back, Magic passed the ball to Kareem in the low post.

"Their positional warfare is really simple!" Louis said helplessly.

Since there are only one creator and one stable end point among the five players on the field, and the other three are top supporters, if you want to play positional warfare and attack, giving the ball to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is really the best solution for this lineup.

The defense that Sampson learned from Thurmond was not put into use, but he was elbowed away by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's old comrade, turned around and went to the basket, looking for physical contact to force Sampson.

7 is better than 4
"Karim's shot is tough!" Cowens said unexpectedly, "In normal times, he might use the skyhook to test the water first."

Louis did not expect Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to use his body to force him up.

It seems that he adjusted his offense according to his opponent?If Sampson defends against him according to Thurmond's method, with his talent, he is indeed one of the few people in the world who can interfere with the skyhook.

Abdul-Jabbar knows what's at stake. He's played professional basketball for 15 years and has more experience than any active player.

"That's not how they play in the regular season." Louie complained.

During the regular season, the intensity of the game given to the Lakers was so low that even the Celtics couldn't figure out their strength.

Louis has been emphasizing that the Lakers have released water from the Pacific Ocean, but only when they actually encounter it will they know whether it is true.

In the opening few minutes, the Lakers' strategy, player status and style of play all showed that they did not play seriously in the regular season.

The Celtics continued to play the No. [-] system.

This system can be dominated by Thomas or Bird.

Now the dominant player is Thomas, he seems to have not adjusted to the best form, not only hesitant to attack, but also the quality of passing is not high.

He even made another mistake.

This time, the cost of the mistake was not small. The Lakers got the live ball, and Johnson pushed the counterattack.

He pretended to pass to Magic in the frontcourt, but he was actually throwing the ball to Michael Cooper.

Cooper jumped up with all his strength, and his dunk ability was also good. Although it was not as good as Wilkins's unprecedented violent aesthetics, it also had an elegant aesthetic.

9 is better than 4
"Isaiah, are you awake? If you are not ready, I will replace you."

The general coach had already called a timeout, but Louis taunted Thomas.

He acted like a member of the Lakers and didn't care how Thomas felt.

"What about you, are you listening to me? Damn, what are you hesitating about? Can that ugly, pockmarked monster stop you? If you can't beat him, get the hell out of here. Do you hear me?"

Thomas finally couldn't hold back the impulse, and angrily sprayed back: "Shut your mouth!"

"I also want to shut up, your performance is not allowed! Isaiah, are you a bitch, I haven't scolded you for a few days, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Louie's furious rant to Thomas was recorded in detail by the director's camera.

Heinsohn said fearing that the world would be chaotic: "Don't worry, this is a tradition in Boston. Someone will always be scolded. It used to be me, and now it is Isiah. Little Lu is the contemporary Reed, and Isiah is the contemporary me."

It's hard to say whether Heinsohn's remarks are putting money on his own face, defending Thomas, or trying to ease the strange atmosphere.

After being sprayed with "a few words" by Louis on the spot, the angry Thomas broke through without calling a pick-and-roll.

With palpable anger, he dribbles in front of Kareem for a floater.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's official height is [-] feet [-] inches, but in fact it is definitely more than that. He looks about the same height as Sampson⑴.

He's tall enough to give Thomas deadly help.

Thomas missed the throw, but Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who ran outside to help defend, was unable to protect the rebound.

Sampson made a deduction to score.

6 is better than 9
"If there is no Ralph, I don't know how this round will end, Isiah, can you be more reliable?!" Louis asked.

KC Jones comes up as peacemaker: "Lu, don't push him too far."

"Have I passed?"

"pass."

"To what extent?"

KC frowned and was forced to describe: "It's like Madonna's "Like a Virgin". From the song itself to the MV, it's too much."

"Oh, that's it." Louis smiled wryly. In the era of conservatism in power, Madonna is like a mole on a white cheek. She is so conspicuous and so rebellious that she declares herself to be the ultimate material girl in the material world.

This song probably drove [-] million Americans crazy. Louis can be sure that almost everyone in the "Greatest Generation" has high blood pressure because of this song, so what?
If this group of people were to listen to or watch Kadibi's "WAP" (MV), wouldn't they jump off a building?
In his opinion, what really went too far should be Marlon Brando forcing a rape scene in a scene without the woman's permission, which is too much.

Where did his words to Thomas come from?

The effect of irritating Thomas was as expected. He was not as hesitant as before, and showed his best side.

As long as he wants to attack, the Lakers are not easy to defend.

Past Dennis Johnson, the road ahead.

The score is tied.

9 is better than 9
The Lakers' offensive efficiency has magically dropped.

The Celtics' offense has become aggressive, which consumes a lot of their energy, and the weakness on the defensive end is reflected on the offensive end.

The Lakers did not score for 2 consecutive minutes.

Then, the magician came. He first changed direction and passed Maxwell in front of him.

"Baby, let's rock!" the magician shouted excitedly, "This is Show Time!"

Tomjanovich said worriedly: "Cedric's height and length are useless in the face of the gap in athletic ability."

Louis had to agree with Tomjanovich. If the speed cannot keep up with the Magician, even with the help of the hand-checking rule, whether the Magician breaks through or not depends entirely on the Celtics' inside defense.

Like just now, the magician saw at a glance that Bird would be defending after he broke through, so he rushed in decisively.

Before he broke through, he had already foreseen what would happen after the breakthrough. This is the golf quotient.

Louis looked at Maxwell, who was working hard but was useless, and thought, maybe using a large flank to defend against the magician won't work.

The magician can shoot, can break through, has overall awareness, and can foresee the next four or five steps with one step. Maxwell does not have enough defensive awareness to fight him.

"Maybe we should get a mad dog to harass him," Louie said.

Hearing Louis' words, Tomjanovich couldn't help looking at ML Karl.

Then he noticed Louie looking at him.He looked back at Louis, and read a sentence from the other's face: You know me, Rudy.
