The Rest, Only Noise

"Cedric Maxwell dribbling down the middle!"

"He hits in and makes a layup!"

In Bill Shawnee's eyes, this was a showcase of Maxwell's personal abilities.

Ramsey knew that the secret to Maxwell's ability to storm the Blazers' l-s-k line was John Long in the corner and Bird in the 45-degree right.

The positions of the two men gave him a neutral position.

The l-s-k defense line, which was supposed to guard the penalty area to the death, was forced to divide its own defensive resources to take care of these two dangerous outside cannons.

28 to 24

At the end of the first quarter, Maxwell's active performance proved the correctness of Louie's substitution.

The Blazers responded in their own way, but unfortunately not enough.

In order to maintain the intensity of the game, Ramsey only used a six-man rotation in the first quarter, and there were no other adjustments except for Drexler to play.

Not so with Louis. Except for Bird and Lang who played the first quarter, there were substitutions in several other positions, and the first quarter played an eight-player rotation.

At this point, Gerald Henderson, John Long, m.l. Carr, Maxwell and Bird stood on the field.

Compared with the starting lineup, this lineup is more resilient and aggressive on defense, and the offense relies heavily on Bird's drive.

On both ends of the offense and defense, Bird was placed on the fourth position by Louis.

Maxwell was reluctant to play the five, and if he refused, Louie had to let Laimbeer play. In order to gain a higher tactical position, Maxwell accepted the arrangement.

For Bird at the 4th position, athletic ability is no longer a problem. His defensive position selection is very smart. Pressing, double-teaming, assisting defense, rotation, and various small moves all make opponents frown.

"Rookie, are you really going to hit me? I'm going to be angry. If you do this, I'm really going to be angry. Stop it now! I'll eat you! No, I'll kill you! I promise I'll kill you. !" Carl's stinky mouth gave Drexler a nutritious trash talk that could pollute his mind.

On the last offense of the first quarter of the Trail Blazers, Darnell Valentine broke through hard and was shrouded in Bird.

He was forced to pass the ball to Thompson at the free throw line.

At this point, Thompson can only choose to shoot.

Maxwell's assist defense speed is just enough to interfere with his shooting. Moreover, Maxwell, who jumped first, fell first. He believed that Bird would get the defensive rebound, so the first choice was to get down quickly.

"boom!"

The moment Bird grabbed the rebound, Maxwell's position was locked in his eyes, and his signature one-handed long pass flew from the basket to the frontcourt.

Maxwell dunks.

30 to 24

"Press!" Louie yelled. "Press them all over the place!"

With only a few seconds left in the first quarter, pressing opponents all over the court can effectively waste their time.

The Celtics, whose strength on both ends of the offense and defense is higher than their opponents, successfully consumed the few seconds left by the Blazers and entered the second quarter with a 6-point advantage.

"This piece of 'cornbread' is so delicious, I can't believe he's going to make trade rumors." The Blazers' home announcer seemed to want to use sideways to influence the course of the game, "I think, I would suggest that the Blazers try a trade. to him."

If the Blazers want Maxwell, Louie's asking price is simple, send Drexler, or negotiate.

Ramsay doesn't like Drexler anyway.

If the trouble is good, the Blazers may also hand over Drexler plus a first round.

It's a pity that Auerbach wouldn't agree to trade Maxwell, even if there was such a good thing.

The only way to trade Maxwell is to do another Billy King-style trade that traded Bob McAdoo from the Pistons for three first-rounders.

In Auerbach's eyes, Maxwell deserves such an offer.

This can be seen as Auerbach's reluctance to trade Maxwell. Unless the opponent really makes an offer that cannot be refused, Maxwell will be a green-blooded man.

Auerbach wants to keep the Celtic tradition, but it creates a big problem for Louis.

"Larry, John, you come down and rest for a while." Louis made a smooth substitution.

In the second quarter, he used another lineup to attack the Blazers' defense.

"Isiah, I don't think anyone in Portland can hold you back." Louie decided to give Thomas a big stage, "Is it okay to smash the l-s-k defense?"

Thomas had the trademark sweet smirk on his face: "What am I going to do, coach?"

"Well, since your reaction is so slow, I can only feed the food into your mouth." Louis picked up the tactical board and said in detail, "The core of the l-s-k line of defense is to guard the penalty area, and now, we have to let them Back to basics. The second unit you're going to lead has no perimeter shooters, so you're facing the original l-s-k defense. Interestingly, the l-s-k defense has the same problem as the zone defense, they are afraid of the killer at the free throw line, and It's one of your favorite offenses."

Thomas listened carefully.

"Utilize the No. 3 system and play more corners. Ralph and Cedric are both good insiders and have obvious advantages in talent and athleticism. Portland is worried about us speeding up, so your first task is It is to bring speed, and the second is to defeat the l-s-k line in positional warfare.”

"littlelu!" The referee came to remind Louis again.

Louie pretended not to hear: "Let them know that using a bunch of people to block the penalty area can lock up Dr. J and win the championship. Gone are the days."

"littlelu?"

In an instant, Louie turned from a gentle coach to a furious demon: "Why are you **** staying off the court? Go and play, didn't you hear the referee calling you?"

Thomas smiled kindly and was the first to play.

Sampson walked halfway and reminded Louie: "Mr. referee is urging you, coach."

"Excuseme?" Louie asked fiercely. "Ralph, I didn't catch what you just said."

Sampson doesn't have the cheekiness of Thomas and Laimbeer, and he can't do the same thing Bird did with Louie to say goodbye to his family, so he doesn't stick to his statement: "It's nothing."

Bird was wearing a coat and saw Louie's performance, a sneer appeared on his face, and he didn't care. When k.c. Jones came to him, he couldn't help sharing his opinion with others: "Is that **** really not schizophrenic?"

"Sometimes I really wish he had schizophrenia, so that I could accept his unpredictable mood." K.c said with lingering fears, "What's really scary is that he doesn't have schizophrenia."

"Hmph, you **** of a pose!"

"Hillbilly," Louis asked, "Is your hometown full of scumbags like you who like to speak ill of people behind their backs?"

"Don't stare at me."

"I said don't stare at me, and I won't show you tonight if you stare at me again." Louis threatened with a smile on his face.

Bird said unhappily: "Who rarely plays?"

"Really? No wonder that rookie isn't afraid of you at all. He just said in front of me that he could blow you up." Louis can always make rumors.

At first, Bird was unbelieving.

Because he thought his performance in the first quarter was enough to deter Drexler.

However, when the Blazers used a perfect tactic to let Drexler run to the restricted area to take off the alley-oop, and when he was finished, he ran to the Celtics' bench to make an arrogant celebration, being sensitive, arrogant, The proud, vulnerable and inferior Larry legend, unconsciously recalls the rumors of Louie.

Is it true?

How dare that rookie?

Who gave his dog guts?

When we make preconceived inferences about someone's guilt, everything he does becomes a motive in your eyes.

To be so arrogant in expressing his own energy, is this ironic that I can't run fast or jump high?

A free-throw line jumper will get you excited, you think I'll look you right in the eye?

Dunk? The idiot with well-developed limbs, cnmd!

In the second quarter of Drexler's blooming talent, every wonderful moment of his will get an evaluation in Bird's heart.

Drexler was still thinking about Bird's trash talk in the first quarter. He wanted to play against Bird, but that didn't mean he wanted to humiliate Bird. He just wants to win Bird's approval, so he will deliberately look at Bird's position.

This idiot dares to look at me, wait for me to play without kicking your **** into 58 segments...

"Larry, why do I feel like that kid has been provoking you?" Louie couldn't help but get a wave of green tea.

Bird's anger is already full: "Let me play!"

"No, because you just hurt me and you don't respect my authority as a coach, so I'm going to use my authority and won't give you the game unless you apologize." Louis said embarrassedly, "I also want to see your lesson. That boy, but who told you not to give me face? Usually I can tolerate your arrogance on the training ground, but today we are on the road, and you told me not to come down in public."

"Damn, you were the one who provoked me first!"

"Who was the first to speak ill of me behind my back?"

Byrd was speechless.

"Your silence is the truth~www.readwn.com~ Since you don't give me face, why should I give you face?" Louis asked indifferently.

Halfway through the second quarter, the Blazers noticed Drexler's state and deliberately created opportunities for him when playing tactics.

Karl's mad dog defense is useful for players with average athletic ability, but Drexler's physical quality is too outstanding.

When Sampson and Maxwell were both pulled out of the paint, Drexler's cut was quicker than many expected.

Drexler received a pass from his teammate and made the Statue of Liberty dunk that would make countless appearances at Memorial Coliseum in the future.

"!%@￥#…"

In desperation, Drexler grabbed his jersey and celebrated wildly.

"If I've offended you, I apologize." The desire to blast Drexler outweighed his inner restraint, Bird said through gritted teeth. "I'm sorry."

Louis smiled and said, "That's right."
