The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 47: too eye-catching

There were signs that the Sixers were taken aback by the Celtics' slightly brutish playing style.

In the first two games, Dr. J's offense was focused on the outside of the paint, and the Phillies were eager to see him fly, but he didn't dare to flutter.

The Celtics also have their own difficulties.

Some of Ranbir's problems were not apparent when Cowens was there.

Laimbeer will never be a great shot-blocker because of his mobility and bounce, and Cowens has a wider range of mobility than he does, so he has a basic threat to the rim.

But after Cowens was ejected, Fitch paired Maxwell with Laimbeer.

Maxwell's one-on-one defense is good, but he doesn't have the ability to protect the rim.

Ranbir: Coincidence, it's not!

The problem of having two guys who can defend one-on-one but can't protect the rim becomes clearer -- Laimbeer struggles against Dawkins.

Dawkins gradually gave up on the idea of ​​wiping out the annoying white center in favor of a more conservative approach.

Caldwell Jones is an aggressive rim protector.

He was dubbed "pop" by ABA fans because of his penchant for giving out visually stunning volleyball caps.

Because the crackle of his cap is as good as music.

Halfway through the third quarter, the 76ers, who were originally behind, caught up.

Dr. J's hands were hot on the perimeter today, and he made a lot of shots that he usually couldn't find the target.

This caused a lot of trouble for the Celtics' defense.

One of the things Lou is sure about is that the Sixers' rotation is short. Their head coaches, Billy Cunningham, like Bill Fitch, are old-timers with a timeless standard for the game of basketball.

Cunningham's series against the Celtics used a pseudo-eight rotation, and they actually only had seven players on the ball.

Fitch's rotation is something Louie appreciates.

Apart from the dead rough Bird, there is no other fault. As early as the Cleveland period, Fitch liked to play multi-player rotations to maintain vitality. Although the Celtics fought an unprecedented wealth battle, the tradition could not be lost. He maintained the basic eight-player rotation.

Therefore, compared to endurance, the Celtics have an advantage, the key is how to limit Dr. J.

Now, the Celtics have M.L. Carr guard him.

Carl is not only a cheap man, but also a well-known villain. Fitch gave him a death order: "Stop the Doctor at any cost!"

Obviously Carl had warned the doctor not to fly in front of him, but the doctor turned a deaf ear.

The first was a one-arm dunk that was blocked by Laimbeer and Maxwell.

Followed by a one-armed tomahawk dunk on the way to the defensive counterattack.

Then came the 76ers go-ahead shot, grabbing the ball with one hand outside the paint, jumping into the air as if out of gravity, and putting the ball into the basket with ease. The tenderness of that moment is as lingering as a woman's belly.

"MLC! Do you only have a mouthpiece? Can you do something real?" Louie exclaimed excitedly.

Future fans will definitely have the impression that Eastern teams will always fight with you when they can't beat. Where did this tradition come from? Of course, it must be the Eastern card - the Celtics.

Dr. J seemed to be unable to defend himself, and of course he had to find a way to fight him.

Carl was bewitched by Louis, and sure enough, a few minutes later, he committed a vicious foul on the doctor.

The doctor, who was never fouled in the ABA, realized that the world didn't always revolve around him when he entered the NBA.

A bully like Carl always has a wicked and righteous face.

Although this almost caused the Spectrum Arena to explode, it did have the effect of containing the Doctor.

Seeing the doctor lying on the ground and not recovering for nearly a minute, Louis couldn't help feeling sympathy.

But he heard Fitch clapping his hands and applauding: "Just hit me like this, give me a little harder! If you can't stop him, give me blood!"

This old stubborn man who treats players with injuries as a routine operation also doesn't think attacking the opponent's core players is a shameful thing.

Louis really wants to adapt to the rhythm of the times. When the rules allow (no malicious fouls), the referee can only punish you like a normal foul after you make a violent foul to your opponent, then the cost of hurting your opponent will be greatly reduced.

Any team can use this method to close the gap between itself and the strong team.

But only the Celtics and the Bad Boys Legion who probably won't appear in this life would do that for granted.

The strength of the 76ers is undoubtedly higher than the Celtics, but they have a leader who is not tough enough, and the team does not have players who can consistently output in the stalemate.

Since Carl's criminal offender Dr. J, the situation of the game has returned to the Celtics' hands.

Bird's three-pointer, Maxwell's assault on the penalty area, Owen missed another mid-range shot, and the Celtics completed the counterattack.

Within a few minutes, the stalemate game suddenly opened by 9 points.

Louis sat down, and he shouted for most of the half, his voice was hoarse, but fortunately the team finally controlled the situation.

On the contrary, Fitch is very nervous, constantly emphasizing the need to play the system and play the tactics they are good at. UU reading www.uukanshu.com .

After Louise was separated, K.C reminded him that he was too active most of the time.

"You look more like a head coach than Fitch." K.C thinks this will cause conflict. "You should know how much Fitch takes his job."

What K.C said was not without reason, and Louis also found that he had been in too much limelight recently.

"I see, I will pay attention." Louis accepted K.C's suggestion humbly.

In the end, the Celtics played their own rhythm and defeated the 76ers 105-94.

Bird played the representative work of his playoff career, with 35 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals in a single game, suppressing the first small forward Dr. J.

From Louis' point of view, Dr. J's current combat power is still stronger than Bird's, but in a few years, the two will change their positions, and the gap will become larger and larger.

In this battle, Bird did not integrate into Fitch's tactical system very much. Stimulated by Louis, most of him played his own ball. He's shown the versatility of his offense, just don't know if Fitch will notice it.

Or would he regard Bird's performance as an "accidental outburst"?

If so, the prospects for the series are far from good.

Today, Louie's hyperthyroid-style sideline coaching is remarkable.

And he also made a very yellow gesture.

When the reporter asked Fitch about this, Fitch explained it for Louis: "It's a normal gesture, Louis is just reminding the players to run tactics, there is no other meaning, you can watch the video. Louis. After making that gesture, we had a really nice offense!"
