The Rest, Only Noise

"It's interesting, isn't it?" Louie pointed to Wilkes, who was staring at John Long. "Coach Riley's outfit is as beautiful as his suit."

Tomjanovich asked, "What should we do?"

"My personal inclination is to see how the players do it first," Louie said expectantly. "Maybe they give a better answer than I thought."

Hearing this, Cowens said rudely: "I always feel that even if there is no coaching staff, let the players decide the game by themselves, it will not be too bad..."

"Dahong, tell me directly if you don't want to do it, don't beat around the bush."

"How can...how could I have such thoughts..."

The Lakers are right about blocking the 3-point line, and their size and athleticism allow them to do so.

However, what kind of ghost came up with the idea of ​​making the magician guard against Bird?

Will Louie let Thomas go against Magic?

Didn't that send him up the magician's ass? The magician's fart made him fly away.

Bird asked for a screen from Maxwell and went to the free throw line to get the ball.

Magic was really dropped, and the Lakers' defense rotation was not that strong. Neither Wilkins nor Wilks were good players in this way.

So Bird made a jumper directly from the free throw line.

6 to 4

"Any of our guys could break their pockets at the free throw line if their defensive rotation couldn't keep up." Tomjanovich spotted the problem.

"That's one of them," Louie said. "Because Larry can only shoot, and that's the best option for him. What if Isiah gets the ball at the free throw line?"

Tomjanovich said excitedly: "He will mush the Lakers' defense."

"That's right!" Louie said regretfully, "The Lakers have great ambitions to destroy our defensive system in one fell swoop. Coach Riley's wishes are good, and the wishes of Magic, DJ, Dominic and Jamal Wilkes. Athlete, theoretically can kick up a cobweb that affects the 3-point arc, and with Kareem's rim protection, their defensive tension should be the best in the league."

"It's a pity that at least three people's defenses can't meet the requirements." Louie shook his head and smiled, "I really admire Coach Riley's imagination for wanting to rely on defense to control the situation."

Louis and Tomjanovich analyzed the current situation, and Wilkins once again showed a strong threat to attack the basket.

As long as he gets the ball in the paint, he really doesn't care, shoots the ball, jumps into the paint, and hits someone.

And Bird is very difficult to guard against this kind of offense, too rough.

It can be said that he has no technical content, but the people who dare to play like this in history are not monsters with extreme physical talent, or geniuses such as Barkley, O'Neal, and Fat Tiger.

The funny thing is that as virile as Wilkins' offense is, his defense is so sloppy.

He smashed Bird's defense with a ball, and when he came back, Maxwell cut in the middle, and the Celtics passed the ball beautifully.

He was barely affected by the defense, scoring a layup with his left hand.

8 to 6

Maxwell was very active after he came on the court, and the Lakers had a headache for his empty-hander.

Dennis Johnson is doing his best to defend Thomas, and he doesn't care about anyone else.

The remaining few are defensive end who don't like to move their legs, and Maxwell is almost running to get a chance.

On the offensive end, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is always the ball tyrant who has his back and his hands up.

As soon as the magician's ball came out, he felt bad.

Behind Kareem, Maxwell waited for a long time.

According to Louis's instructions, as long as he comes to the defensive end, he will stare at Kareem, either double-teaming or stealing the ball.

This time he chose to break the ball.

Magician's pass was interrupted, and Sampson immediately released his back defense and participated in the fast break.

Maxwell passed the ball into his hands, and a 7-foot-4 big man started to dribble the ball from the midfield. The Lakers wanted to break his ball, but he turned and dribbled the ball and went straight to the frontcourt. Raise the fire balance basket and dunk.

"Even Wilt Chamberlain couldn't do this kind of action!" Heinsohn boasted without limit.

10 to 6

The 4-point gap is not too big, Riley doesn't want to call a timeout like this.

But he knew very well that there was something wrong with the Lakers' offense, and the five players on the court were not the best five.

Against the Celtics, the lineup must be flexible.

Riley's assistant, Billbertka, promptly suggested: "Our lineup is not flexible enough, Erwin wants to take care of everyone, Dominic can't make a 15-footer and can't guard anyone, and Jae is not going to make it. Marr is no longer the guy who can score 37 points in the Finals."

Riley chewed his gum and thought hard.

"Indeed, it should be replaced." Riley made a decisive decision, looking back at the abyss-thick bench that was enough to pull up another starting set, "Cooper, Rambo (Cortranbis), bs (Byrensco) special)."

In terms of lineup depth alone, the Lakers are stronger than the Celtics.

In addition to these three, they also have Bob McAdoo and Mitch Kupchak on the injured list off the court, and the weakest of the ten can start in the weak team.

One of the most distressing points for Western teams is the unclear relationship between the Lakers and the San Diego Clippers.

Byron Scott was originally the Clippers' No. 4 pick, with great talent, no injuries or illnesses, just because Sterling didn't want to spend too much money, he wanted to trade his signing rights.

Bass heard that his good friend was short of money, so he dared to be nice and gave nothing else, so he used the money to buy Sterling's signing rights.

Sterling agreed.

The Lakers have a strong lineup, which can be regarded as the first in the league, but the balance is not as good as that of the Celtics.

After the substitution, the Lakers reloaded, and the score, 16 to 12, was not too big, and continued the previous lineup.

Magic on the point guard, Scott at the second position, Cooper at the third position, Rambis at the fourth position, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar at the fifth position.

Miraculously, the Lakers changed three starters, and as a result, their defense became stronger and the space on the offensive end opened up.

This time, they have a defensive weapon that can control the three-point line and a **** forward who can pull out and shoot. Magic is comfortable. The Lakers' strategy of killing the three-point line and the penalty area seems to be successfully implemented.

The Lakers' offense overshadowed their defense.

Michael Cooper is beside this group of offensive madmen, and the advantages of comprehensive and strong defense are also weakened.

Louie watched as he blocked Thomas' passing lane, leading to his turnover and being stolen by Magic for a fast break showtime.

Look at him alone against Bird and successfully interfere with his shooting.

Fortunately, Sampson grabbed the offensive rebound, otherwise the Lakers would have pushed the fast break, but they would have caught up to 2 points.

After the Lakers changed to this lineup, the intensity of attacking the basket decreased, but the magician with space, like James with space, can see the blessing of the offensive system with the naked eye.

On the contrary, the Celtics, the lineup of Bird + Maxwell + Sampson, could not keep up with the speed.

At the end of the first quarter, Louie replaced Bird, replaced Carr and ran with Magician, and then gave Thomas permission to play whatever he wanted.

The effect is not good. Karl's defense is just fierce and dirty, and his defensive skills are very general. Magician is extremely good at using his body to tear apart the defense. If the help defense is not in place, his will to attack is strong.

Watching him pick the basket with his fingertips and tie the game, Louie said to Thomas, "Can I count on you, Isiah?"

"Okay!" Thomas nodded earnestly.

And then, the **** shorty was on top, and he dribbled to the basket and got a head-to-head hat.

Thomas seemed a little jealous when he saw Magic's brilliant performance, he wanted to be as good as he was, and he ended up falling short of the latter on every level.

Louis saw his desire and anger, but he couldn't grasp the micro-manipulation.

His options are fine, but the plan always goes wrong when it reaches critical steps.

At the buzzer in the first quarter, he had clearly shaken people away, but his foot slipped and made a mistake.

The magician asked jokingly, "Isaiah, don't you know where the garden's organs are?"

The Lakers trailed first, then took the lead, and they turned 27 to 24. They entered the second quarter with a 3-point lead.

For the Lakers' extremely targeted defense, Louis did not take any countermeasures in the first quarter.

He doesn't want to be a head coach with too much binding force. He wants to give the players a certain degree of autonomy. As long as they play the games they want to see, they can play the games. It doesn't matter if they are willful.

In the first quarter, they did not disappoint Louis.

The problem has to be solved now.

Louis held the tactical board: "Second quarter, Isiah, Ralph, you two come down and rest."

"You have all seen their defense. They strictly control the corners and the top two three-pointers, and then use the players' physical fitness to put pressure on the penalty area. Obviously they did a good job." Erase, "Second quarter, our starters were Rookie John and Veteran John ~www.readwn.com~Danny, Larry and Bill."

Paxson, Long, Angie, Bird, Ranbir.

The Celtics are the only team in the world that can make an all-three-point lineup.

"They like to control the penalty area, so let them control the penalty area. As for the defense of the three-point line, I don't think they can defend it properly." Louie said confidently, "Bill, you don't need to go to the penalty area to get a position, you need to What they do is to put a lot of screens on the two horns, and after the screen, when they find an opportunity, they pull to the three-point line. I want to see if all five of us can shoot from the outside, how they can defend. If they are determined to block us 3-pointers, how do they protect the paint with five 3-point threats."

When the others were ready to play, Louie pulled Bird and said more: "Larry, open the situation with three-pointers, but don't indulge in three-pointers."

"Playing on the tactical board, I am not as good as you." Bird said proudly, "In basketball, you are not as good as me."

Louie let him go: "It seems I have nothing to worry about."
