The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 128: duplicity

"The rest, only noise new( Find the latest chapter!

The Celtics named a new head coach to prepare for their new season, and with the NBA playoffs, the Philadelphia 76ers are going full steam ahead.

The Sixers swept their semifinal rivals, the New York Knicks, with almost no problem.

In the Eastern Conference finals, they met the Bucks, who eliminated the Celtics after a hard fight.

It was the farthest Bucks core player Bob Lanier has gone in the playoffs.

The Bucks' defense played an important role in their resistance to the 76ers, who lost in overtime in Game 1.

At the crucial moment of the second game, there was a controversial penalty.

This penalty has been remembered by Lanier for many years, and he insisted that the referee was wrong.

But referees are gods on the field, and they rule things that you can't question.

Lanier is injured, he can't play more, and he's the only guy the Bucks can go head-to-head with Moses Malone.

In the face of a team of destiny like the 76ers, the Bucks are powerless.

At least, they broke Malone's curse and didn't make "FO-FO-FO" a fact.

The fourth game of the Eastern Conference finals, the brain-dead schedule, is still back-to-back.

Louie still can't understand why the NBA likes to arrange back-to-back playoffs so much. This is no different from torture to a veteran like Lanier who has had 5 knee surgeries in 13 seasons.

And, it was Lanier's only back-to-back appearances this season, almost relying on his own will to get his team to win, keeping the Bucks from being one of those "FOs".

The 76ers are called the Destiny Team for a reason.

They really are the only team that does a good job of winning a championship.

Luck was on their side in the Finals, too, as the Lakers suffered an injury that kept highly anticipated superstar Dominic Wilkins out of the playoffs.

Another competitive Nets jumped off halfway after head coach Larry Brown's habitual "I'm tired of you idiots making mistakes over and over again", and the Nets followed suit.

The Celtics blew themselves up for internal reasons.

Coupled with the labor disputes that lasted throughout the regular season, only the 76ers were ready to play in the playoffs and compete for the championship.

The Lakers lost 4-0. The 76ers are obviously the better team. Even if Wilkins can play, it will only affect the number of games in the finals, not the result.

In this way, the 76ers won the championship.

Dr. J broke the spell, and Moses Malone became the fourth player to combine MVP and Finals MVP in the same season.

This year is different from any previous year, with nearly every playoff game on CBS and the rest on USA and ESPN. Members of the NBA's PR department play an important role in the Western Conference Finals and Finals, greatly increasing the exposure of each playoff team.

With the signing of the collective bargaining agreement, the salary cap will be introduced next season, and a new era is coming.

After Louis signed a contract with the Celtics, he began to prepare for the new season.

Right now, the Celtics' biggest problem is that they have too many available inside the team.

Bird, Thomas, Sampson, Maxwell, Laimbeer, John Long, Rick Robbie, Chris Ford, Archibald, M.L. Carr, Buckner...as a ball The team has 12 people who can play. As a head coach, what do you think?

ecstatic?

Shouting this is the trouble of happiness?

If this annoyance ruins the team, do you still think it's happy?

Too much is not enough, it's an eternal lesson, it's exciting to have 13 players who can play, but you only need nine to win, and you can't meet everyone's needs, which means more than half of them will Not satisfied with his playing time.

These disgruntled people can ruin teams, and even if you don't have coaching experience, anyone who's played 2K's Dynasty or Manager mode should know what that means. Of course, you're dealing with a flawed AI in the game, while in Celtic Louie you're dealing with a group of living people with very different personalities and needs.

On the first day of the offseason, Archibald announced his retirement, ending his career.

This is really a pity.

Because he can still play, because the Celtics can no longer accommodate a veteran who needs a lot of possession.

Archibald spent most of his career playing for uncompetitive teams, and the Celtics fulfilled his championship dreams.

Now, the team that made his dream come true wants to eliminate his influence, and he doesn't want to scrape by on a team that can't win.

The star's temper and self-esteem make him unwilling to be manipulated and become a tool for the Celtics to make profits.

So he decided to retire.

Louie listed a protected list of players he wanted to keep.

Bird, Thomas, Sampson, Maxwell, Lambir, Long, Gerald Henderson, M.L. Carr.

There are only eight people, that is to say, if a transaction can be made, everyone else can be sent away.

This contains three players.

Rick Robbie, the No. 3 overall pick in Bird's draft, was sent to the Celtics after a few months of testing.

Although he can't make the starter and sixth man seventh man on the Celtics, he is a solid big man who is playing in his prime, and is undoubtedly a very pleasant object in the exchange. .

Chris Ford, the Raiders who hit a key three-pointer in the 1981 Eastern Conference Finals.

Quinn Buckner, PG, was traded from the Bucks to the Celtics last season.

Also one of the players buried in the Celtics because he needs to compete with three other guards younger than him for minutes.

Because Buckner is also a key player in the players' union, he has a bad relationship with the team.

The Celtics' coaching staff and players are so disconnected that Buckner's role cannot be ignored.

Although a new trade deal has been signed, Louie doesn't want this ticking time bomb on the team.

Louie locked down three players in the draft.

The No. 1 target is Houston's star power forward Clyde Drexler, Laimbeer's junior, Notre Dame's John Paxson (ClydeDrexlerPG) and Doc Rivers.

These three are his "acquaintances".

Rivers will not say, Louie knew Paxson because of Jordan.

This person is the starting point guard of the Bulls' first three consecutive games.

Rivers was the next pick, and although he was familiar with Rivers as a coach, Louie really didn't make much sense for this guy's playing days.

Watching the game video, Rivers doesn't look like he can shoot, his speed is average, but his defense is ferocious and aggressive, his vision is wide, and he dares to pass the ball.

Those are his strengths and likings, but the Celtics don't need you to have so many strengths as a backup point guard.

Paxson, who specializes in shooting, is more in line with Louie's heart.

At the briefing, the Celtics' scouting department selected Greg KiteC, the star center of Brigham Young University, the white monster who led the team to win the championship in high school, who can compete with Sampson and Sam. Bowie, Worthy, Wilkins and others are equally famous.

Unfortunately, his reputation continues to prove that pundits, media and scouts have serious filters for white players.

Entering college, his mediocre athleticism, poor physical condition and lack of consistent shooting touch from outside the paint were all exposed, and the college went unresolved for four years.

"Should we trade Rick Robbie if we need him?" Louie asked the scout with a grin.

The scout replied: "Rick is dissatisfied with his playing time, that's why we're trading him."

"I'd rather coach a disgruntled but useful player than a friendly but useless player." Louie said domineeringly, "This person can't be!"

Recently, Louis has been a little bit revealing of his nature. He is too lazy to reason any more, and directly calls for people to choose.

Auerbach asked: "Who do you want to choose?"

"Considering that we need to send two or three players away, I think the two positions we need to add most are forward and defender."

"Clyde Drexler?" Auerbach said hilariously. "We don't have that high of a draft pick."

Louie jumped back to the Prophet: "You don't need to be too early, as long as it's higher than Portland's pick."

"Clyde's prospects aren't that bad, what if we don't get him?" Auerbach asked.

Louie didn't want Drexler that much, just seeing that the Blazers only had the 14th pick in the first round, so he figured that the former really only had that market.

You can get a superstar at a position other than the tenth pick. If you don't try this kind of thing, you will be sorry for the self who has passed through.

However, Louis still didn't have such great expectations for this matter.

Because the Celtics are already strong enough, it has never been his goal to turn the Celtics into an invincible galaxy battleship, in case the Green Army becomes his opponent in the future.

Therefore, although he proposed to trade to a higher pick than the Blazers, his attitude was not firm, and he did not make Auerbach have to choose him.

The only thing he explicitly wanted was John Paxson.

So, when the draft day came ~www.readwn.com~ Auerbach tried to ask for the 11th and 12th picks in the first round, which shocked the Blazers.

The Celtics also leaked the wind inside.

So the Blazers traded up, got Detroit's ninth pick, and used that pick to draft Clyde Drexler.

Louis and Auerbach were in the draft preparation room when this scene happened.

Louie Yuzai said, "Hopefully this person doesn't become Andrew Tony 2.0."

At the same time, the Celtics made a trade with the Bucks, who eliminated them last season.

The Bucks, who are in desperate need of an insider, are eager for Robbie, and the two sides can do it in one shot. The Celtics exchanged Robbie for the Bucks' first-round pick and second-round pick this year, and chose Louis' favorite John Paxson. and Guy Williams, whom Auerbach admired
