Chapter 166: The coach who hates heads-up

"Actually, it's kind of interesting," Louie told his assistants.

k.c, Tomjanovich and Cowens all had weird expressions because they saw the Blazers challenge.

Ramsey is bold, posing to compete with the Celtics on who has higher tactical literacy.

Playing Clyde Drexler was a fantastic substitution.

Drexler played power forward for years by succumbing to Houston's demands, which hurt his draft prospects and technical development, but in the NBA, he was moved to a guard-biased small forward position.

Ramsay's demands of him were simple and crude.

Take his talent, defend with talent, run around.

As a result, he really used his body that could reach the sky to run quickly and violently, almost destroying the Celtics' tactics with a blatant running route.

The iconic Drexler bout looks like this.

The defensive end blocked the Celtics' pass and forced a turnover.

Then, the Blazers' counter-attack was different from that of most teams. The first goal of other teams is to hit the counterattack to the basket, and there is no problem with this approach.

The Blazers' counter-attack options are more open.

They'll pass the ball to the weak-side follow-up guards, allowing them to chase shots in certain positions.

14 to 14

The Blazers cherished every opportunity to counterattack, and at the same time, worked hard to ensure that the Celtics had no opportunity to counterattack.

They have to have a fast-paced offense themselves. On the other hand, the Celtics did not hit a quick counterattack and gave up offensive rebounds in an all-round way.

"Please don't play like a nerd." Louie sarcastically said kindly.

His voice was not loud enough to be heard by a few of them.

Bird hummed disdainfully and took the ball from a high position.

Drexler opened his hands nervously, and Bird was in a bad mood when he heard Louie's sarcastic words.

Seeing a rookie with well-developed limbs and a simple mind and a little function, the things engraved in the DNA were suddenly activated.

"I'll make you look like an idiot in a moment and send out a good biography!"

Bird's voice just fell, he made a pitching fake, and then made a second fake with an emergency stop.

Drexler, a generous rookie, ate both fakes.

This is what Bird called "makes you look like a fool". When Drexler jumped into the air, Bird hit the ground from a high post. Although the Blazers knew his intentions, the passing angle was very Tricky, even if you want to steal, the speed of people is not faster than the speed of passing.

For Bird, an extremely simple opportunity was created, which was ended by Sampson's two-handed dunk.

16 to 14

"Larry, I didn't expect you to have this trick, but I guess you can only bully the rookie, right?" Louie asked loudly.

Drexler stopped and shouted at Louis, "I'm not a tool for your vindictiveness!"

"You're not," Byrd sneered bitterly, "because you don't deserve it."

If Louie had heard Bird's mental blow to Drexler, he might have echoed a few words, but unfortunately he couldn't.

Byrd's words angered Drexler.

Even a rookie has self-respect. Whether it's Bird or someone else saying this, it's unacceptable.

The Trail Blazers, as usual, have two inside stops left and right in the low post.

Even though Ramsay's tactical system is mature, there are still flaws brought about by the times.

They put too much emphasis on the low post.

Two low post cards in the interior are an offensive system left over from the Walton era. They had Walton and Maurice Lucas back then, but now they only have Mychal Thompson and Wayne Cooper.

Regrettably, with these two systems that built the Wharton era, it is doomed to be impossible to reproduce the championship team that Ramsey talks about that can beat all teams.

According to the general process, pass the ball to the inside line after passing the ball to the 45-degree angle on the left and right sides.

However, Drexler was humiliated by Bird's trash talk, breaking Coach Ramsey's "no singles" principle.

He dribbled through Bird's defense.

The starting speed, explosive power and the secondary acceleration after tearing the defense line are all incapable of stopping by Bird.

Even if Ramsey was angry, he couldn't say anything when he saw such an offense. Drexler rushed to the basket and caused Laimbeer's foul.

Louis thought, maybe it's time to change.

So, in the eighth minute of the first quarter, he called a second timeout.

Bill Shawnee, announcer at the Memorial Stadium, told an anecdote about Louie: "Littlelu is not only young and energetic, but he has a very different habit than most coaches. His time-out timing is different. "

At first, Louie was unruly by calling a timeout. For example, every time it will be delayed until the referee reminds him, or the game is called off when the Celtics are in a good situation.

This is a point that others find him unprofessional.

Now that's his characteristic, as his timeouts rarely do bad things for the team.

"I believe you have seen their changes." Louis first replaced Laimbeer and replaced Maxwell. "If they're going to play tactics, we'll play tactics with them. Cedric, I hope we don't have the trouble of not keeping up with the rhythm of the opponent's offense when you're on the court."

Maxwell nodded nervously.

"What if the tactics fail?" Bird asked.

"Then it's up to you." Louis laughed. "Open your stinky mouth and scold them to death. You can always do it."

If it wasn't during the game, Bird would definitely be spraying back.

But for a while, the more he thought about it, the more angry he was. He was going to spread his anger on the Trail Blazers. Whoever came and died, God couldn't save this team.

"littlelu, are you all right?"

The referee reminded angrily.

"Okay!" Louis laughed, "I'll be right now!"

Louie stopped Thomas, pointed to the tactical board and said: "Isiah, they like to put pressure on the ball and force mistakes, but they are often bluffing. I hope you can clear your mind, don't always fall for them, look The opportunity to get to a teammate is to pass the ball in time..."

"littlelu!" the referee urged.

"It's not up yet, what are you doing, you want the referee to take you back to the game with a whip?"

Thomas is also well-informed, but it is the first time he has seen a professional face-changing master like an actor, like Louis, changing his face is commonplace and does not require any forward movement.

After staying with Louis for a long time, he found that the other party's angry expression sometimes did not mean that he was really angry.

Although he gritted his teeth, he smiled softly in his heart.

Although he always scolded himself and Bird together, who could deny that he didn't apologize to them in his heart while swearing?

At the end of the timeout, the Blazers' defense is still the same: the system is aimed at the ball carrier, protecting the penalty area and the three-point line; filling positions and chasing the ball without the ball, relying on personal passion.

Drexler's face was not good-looking, and he was definitely scolded by Ramsay for the pause just now.

Louie knew how much Ramsay hated heads-up, maybe he didn't at first, but after his success in 1977, he used heads-up as poison.

Because the core player of the Blazers is the most selfless team superstar in history.

At the time, Louie was a scout, and he longed to be the head coach, but even as a traveler, the coaching job was unfamiliar to him.

His strengths are his broad vision, his acceptance of the three-point line, a novelty that modern coaches see as the devil, and a general understanding of the 2009-2020 basketball game. Although there is a 29-year difference between 1980 and 2009, has basketball really changed much in these 30 years?

The transmigrator's eyes cannot make him a good coach, so in addition to strengthening his business ability in his spare time, he also tracks those powerful teams and looks back on those champion teams that have perished.

The Blazers in 1977 were the first team to look back in full force.

It was the Blazers who taught him that a number of factors off the court—recognition, money, status, skin color, dignity—things that had little to do with basketball could ruin a perfect team.

Ramsey has lived in remorse and has publicly expressed his nostalgia for that team. As for why he hates singles? Because the Blazers in 1977 were a team with the principle of zero heads-up. Ironically, when Walton signed a contract with the Clippers that the Blazers couldn't afford and ruined the team's future, the 1979-80 season, Walton's successor, Mychal Thompson, was due to an injury season. to reimburse. The backcourt is even more understaffed — Lionel Hollins was traded mid-season, and future All-Star Jim Paxson is having a struggling rookie season with a man named Billy Ray Bates. ), saved the Blazers' season with a heads-up, became Oregon's big star for a few months and then quickly faded away.

Drexler didn't find the feel of the free throw, and he missed both free throws.

This is simply a free counterattack opportunity.

Bird grabbed the defensive rebound and led Thomas to the fast break with a long pass.

It doesn't matter how fast the Blazers back off defense.

Thomas rushed into the paint and made a thrower.

18 to 14

Where Maxwell is better than Ranbeer is his athleticism and agility, which allows him to replace Bird on Drexler.

The downside is that the offense drags the space. It's just that in the 1980s, everyone's space was very crowded. The Celtics had two first-class space points, Bird and Long, which were already luxurious configurations. Come to more inside tactics.

The Trail Blazers had little chance of passing the ball because Bird stuck Cooper in the low post.

They passed the ball to Thompson~www.readwn.com~ The latter was not very effective against Sampson, and the turnaround jumper was blocked.

Fortunately, the others retreated fast enough to keep Thomas from running again.

Giving up their strengths in offensive rebounding and the option of breaking an arm is indeed a good move, and they have prevented the Celtics from launching the second-best counterattack in the league.

Such a strategy forced the Celtics to fall into positional warfare.

Even Lou was surprised that the Blazers would do this, but when you think about it, it was the only way the Blazers could overwhelm the Celtics.

Because there are gaps in talent and lineup, even if the tactical literacy is similar, the Celtics will still win. Only by finding ways to suppress the Celtics' offense will they have a chance to defeat the strong with the weak.

Louie glanced at Ramsay in the distance.

The other party shook his characteristic eyebrows. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, his eyebrows must be dancing.

Louis smiled, and he also had a pair of smart eyebrows.
