the rest, only noise

Chapter 261 Is this a move that a guy who is seven feet four inches can do?

Chapter 2 Sixty Is this a move that a seven-foot-four guy can do?

Riley became anxious. No matter how hard he was, no matter how double-teamed or switched defenses, no matter how high-quality defense he made, the Celtics still had two problems.

Isiah Thomas, who opened up on all sides and broke through with the ball, had no solution.

Opened on three sides, Thomas on the weak side had no solution to Larry Bird, who played in the low post.

During most of the quarter when Sampson was away, they relied on their personal ability to promote the operation of the third system and the fourth system, forcibly supporting the torture of the Lakers on both ends of the offense and defense.

KC Jones was deep in thought. He had long believed that Louie's system would be the cornerstone of the Celtics' championship.

It never occurred to him that the system would still work at such a level.

If it were him to coach, it is estimated that it would have been a mess by now, allowing players to play as soon as they catch the ball, regardless of tactics.

If he really plays according to his ideas, it is not impossible. The personal abilities of the Celtics players are so strong, they can play like this.

But playing like this, as a coach will never be proud.

This is completely handing over the game to the players, and the coaches really become nannies.

Louie's system allows him to still grasp the direction of the game in difficult moments. He did not hand over the game to Bird and Thomas casually.

They're still playing under Louie's system.

This kind of tug-of-war, the moment of race against time, every round has the biting stage of the exchange of the leading side, and the leader of the Celtics is still Louie.

As a professional coach, this is peak performance.

In the third quarter, a whole quarter of fierce battles, an epic 22 alternate leads, and finally with Bird's three-pointer at the buzzer, the Celtics entered the fourth quarter as the leading party 79 to 77.

In this quarter, the Celtics scored 28 points, and Bird and Thomas scored 24 points together.

They were the reason the game went to the fourth quarter and the Celtics held the lead.

In the fourth quarter, Louis decided to let Bird and Thomas rest for 2 minutes.

"If there is any accident, such as the Lakers lead by 5 points, I will let you come back immediately." Louie made it clear first.

Next, he looked at Sampson and asked, "Ralph, do you remember my promise to you?"

Sampson will never forget: "You promised to make me an epoch-making player."

"To this day, you are still not." Louis said, "But in the future, you can be."

In the fourth quarter, the Celtics lineup stunned Heinsohn and Stockton again.

Rookie John Paxson served as the point guard, backup shooter Derek Weidman served as the second position, John Long served as the third position, and Lambiel and Sampson partnered inside.

Except for Sampson, this is another four-shooter configuration that was considered extremely luxurious in 1984.

In the third quarter, the Celtics relied on Bird, Thomas and three shooters to forcibly drag the game away. In the fourth quarter, Louis let them rest, and then formed a lineup that had never appeared in the finals in a season.

"He's really crazy... isn't he?" Cowens was dumbfounded.

Beside him, Thurmond's eyes were dull: "If I heard correctly, Lu means to let Ralph hold the ball in the middle and control it at will?"

"Let an inside man hold the ball in the middle? Dominate at will?"

Tomjanovich never doubted Louie's decision. He looked at Sampson's back and asked, "Is he okay?"

"I don't know," Louis said.

"You don't know?" Tomjanovich was shocked this time, "You just gave Ralph a tactical position that may affect the outcome of the game, and you still don't know if he can live up to this tactical position?"

"I really don't know, because it's always been Larry and Isiah who have enjoyed this position, and Ralph has never proved that he can hold the whole picture."

Louis said: "So, I gave him this chance."

Give him a chance in the finals?Tomjanovich said tremblingly, "You are really crazy."

"Sit down, Rudy, the next thing has nothing to do with us." Louis pulled Tomjanovich to sit on the bench, and yelled at the rookie Guy Williams to help him get a glass of Coke.

In the fourth quarter, the Lakers, who jumped to win the ball at the start, started their first offense.

Pat Riley looked at the Celtics' defense with a hint of disdain, not arrogance, but confidence that the Lakers' firepower was enough to destroy them.

Sampson is indeed very strong. He is the second team, first defense and Defensive Player of the Year this year.

But with him alone, can he drive the defense of Paxson, Weidman, Lang, and Lambiel?If he could, Riley would call his defense the best in history.

What surprised the Lakers even more was that the Celtics asked Laimbier to cover Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Sampson was near the paint area, and several others were one-on-one. There is no pocket formation!

"This is simply asking a magician to play in the restricted area!"

Lang's defense couldn't keep up with the magician's footsteps, and he lost it after a while.

The Magic wanted to lure Sampson over to help the defense, and pass the ball to the unguarded one.

He didn't wait for Sampson's help to defend. He cared too much about Sampson's position, ignoring that Lambiel was just as dangerous.

Lambiel's danger lies not in his defense, but in his aggressive tendency to attack the ball handler.

The magician couldn't wait for Sampson's help defense. What he waited for was Lambiel running clumsily and coming to his side. When he was about to dunk, the figure of the devil was already enveloped.

Lambiel swung his right hand hard, first hitting the hand, then hitting his shoulder, and then all the strength of the whole body was added to the magician who was still jumping up.

The magician's body suddenly fell from the air and fell heavily to the ground.

This is a malicious foul full of aggressiveness, "watching", aggression and visual effects.

Lambiel should be thankful that there is no concept of malicious foul now. He almost used a violent attack to make the magician fall to the ground. Kareem was furious and wanted to seek justice for his little brother.

The conflict between the two sides was on the verge of breaking out, and four or five people were entangled and wrestled together.

The referee quickly controlled the situation, and the magician also stood up. He hugged his arm in pain and stretched it a few times. Fortunately, there was no serious problem.

The referee ignored the conflict just now, and only gave an ordinary foul to Lambiel, who was bound to be suspended for four or five games after 20 years.

The boos at the Forum were like a torrential downpour.

Los Angeles hated Lambiel to the extreme, eager to use their voices to awaken Lambiel's fears.

Lambiel looked at Sampson indifferently: "Leave the foul to me, and you do your own thing."

Louis didn't expect that Lambiel's foul was only for ordinary fouls, and he didn't even expect that the conclusion was made by Dick Bavita.

It seems that this famous king of black whistle is just a simple "stupid comparison"?After all, Game 2002 of the Western Conference Finals in [-] had the possibility of being manipulated by the league. In the years after that, the Donaghy incident marked the entry of the NBA into the WWE era.

Many people miss the Stern era, but game manipulation started from the Stern era.Even the gambling is something that Stern has always wanted to introduce. Xiao Hua just completed what Stern left unfinished⑴.

The magician felt terrified. Lambiel's eyes looked like a murderer in a horror movie. The critical attack just now seemed to end his career.

He didn't know what Lambiel would do next time he broke through to the inside.

When it was the Celtics' turn to attack, the picture became more interesting. Sampson got the ball at the free throw line and the four shooters opened in four directions.

Some fans will think of Isiah Thomas and his unstoppable four-corner offense.

In the third quarter, the Celtics relied on Thomas' four-corner offense and Bird's low-post singles to sustain the situation.

Now, Sampson seems to be playing another version of the four-corner offense.

Unlike Thomas, he's closer to the basket, with the receiver positioned one step beyond the free throw line.

The Lakers obviously didn't think well about letting Rambis to defend. Sampson lowered his center of gravity and started dribbling. The first step was not very fast. What was terrible was his follow-up action.

Sampson turned around with the ball like a defender, and used Rambis' body as a support point. When his body flung past the defense, the center of gravity of the unsupported Rambis was also thrown far away.

Isiah Thomas stared.

Sampson's ability has always made him curious, because the former has shown his unlimited potential.

But Louis was always very cautious, not letting Sampson explode easily.

Now, Sampson has no reservations. He swayed Rambis like a guard, collected the ball in the paint, and raised the fire-style pick basket, crossing the highest point of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's defense.

The ball is hitting the backboard, whoa!

"OMG!" Stockton lost control. "Is this a move that a [-]-foot-[-] guy can do? I can't be dreaming!"

⑴ Baidu Stern + Gaming two key words, the first news is "Stern: NBA considers introducing the gaming industry." Stern is undoubtedly a great man in the sport of basketball, but many things that many fans hate today, such as small balls, less and less confrontation, more and more three-pointers, fouls at the touch, and gambling. All originated in the Stern era.To put it bluntly, Xiao Hua just did what Stern didn't finish, and then these mines unfortunately exploded in the past few years.
