The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 77: A world where only Maxwell is injured

With 14 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Andrew Toney strode into the fence the Celtics had prepared for him.

In the final moments, he remembered Billy Cunningham's orders and handed the ball to the leader.

Dr. J, he runs gracefully, trying to get the ball.

But in the end, the ball was slapped off by Larry Bird's outstretched hand and stopped.

"Larrystoletheball!!"

Johnny Most roars the same way Havlicek completes Steal of the Century.

His voice was so majestic that it caused the garden to fall into a complete boil, like a pot of boiling water, causing everyone who was in it to scream out involuntarily.

The 76ers made mistakes at the critical moment and the Celtics sealed the victory.

105 to 104

The Celtics defended their home court with a one-point advantage and won Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Sampson, who was hit six fouls by Andrew Toney, jumped at Bird excitedly.

Laimbeer had rudely pushed Bird to the ground, and then a group of teammates rushed over.

Louis had a serious expression.

What he expected, or rather, what should have happened, did not happen.

The 76ers didn't focus their firepower in the mid-range, and Andrew Toney really hit the bottom hard and slammed into their restricted area.

The victory is certainly gratifying, but the 76ers lost only 1 point to them without making a lot of mid-range shots, and Tony beat Sampson down by only breaking through and causing damage.

The hidden inside story is terrifying.

Bill Fitch had a relaxed look on his face, and the win confirmed what he said was that the Sixers couldn't shoot them to death.

He took Tony and the 76ers' frantic rush to the paint as inevitable.

"They can't win if they don't!" Fitch said confidently to K.C. Jones.

Louie wasn't listening to their summaries, he wasn't interested in Fitch's conclusions, and the victory was something to be happy about, but with a lot of detail.

Although Tony's breakthrough was affected by the pocket array, his killing ability was still the same. He scored 30 points in the game and 14 points were free throws. Moreover, the referee has a low tolerance for fouls in the first grade. This problem still exists in the playoffs. .

Sampson is more prone to fouls than anyone else.

When Sampson is in foul trouble, his defense is less potent, and once he's off the court, the most important pocket sweeper is gone and the defensive lineup is much less potent.

After the game, 76ers coach Billy Cunningham said solemnly: "The outcome of the series will be decided by a small matter that seems insignificant. We screwed up a lot of small things tonight, this is where we need to summarize."

Fitch was excited, saying as he always did to keep the media happy and morale-boosting: "Boston is better than Philly in every way. We have Larry the great leader, Ralph the great new guy, we have A true group of fighters. We cracked the Liberty Bells tonight and their milk and cheese went bad."

The fact that a speech to the media can keep up with current events and the recent hot food safety issues in Philadelphia is something that Louis did not expect.

Fitch's interview satisfied the media, and they just wanted to hear that answer.

It's both interesting and newsworthy.

Louie didn't say much about other things, and asked the CBS TV station staff at the scene to get a copy of tonight's game video.

Although they did not broadcast the game live, they will send live cars and cameras to record the whole game.

If necessary, they will extend the game on videotape.

Although the game was fierce today, it was not a classic game. Except for Bird's final steal and lore, there were no other hot spots. Therefore, this video tape will only be stored in the database of CBS, and it is difficult to appear in the world.

But NBA teams can ask TV stations for backups, which are part of their broadcast contracts.

Louie got the tape and went home to watch the game again.

A 130-minute game, he watched for three hours.

Because he documented every 76ers offense in detail.

Tonight, 64% of the 76ers' offense occurred at the rim, most of which were dribbles led by Tony.

Then, there are nearly 20 percent of mid-range jumpers.

And, all of their players, including Dawkins, attempted mid-range jumpers, with the exception of Dr. J, who made at least one mid-range shot.

Terrible phenomenon.

The Celtics' pocket formation is primitive, not like the Bucks in 2019-20, with an amazingly athletic flank that performs massive rotation defenses and at most only misses top threes.

If the 76ers work from the mid-range, the Celtics' pockets will turn into a bluff with nothing to do with their mid-range shots. Because apart from Sampson, the Celtics really don't have a second athletic inside or wing.

Maxwell may be one, but even if he defends hard, he is mediocre off the ball.

With this win guaranteed, Louie knew Fitch would hold on to the pocket until the Celtics were cornered.

Louie has already understood that, whether it is a large pocket placed in the paint area or a small pocket designed at the edge of the paint area, facing the alternate impact of Tony and Dr. J, they can only be passively beaten. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

The key to the Celtics' victory today is the defensive counterattack.

This was the 76ers' good game, but the Celtics defended their offense many times with pocket arrays, and Bird took control and counterattacked smoothly.

The 76ers certainly can't win when the Celtics have more than twice as many counters as the 76ers.

For the most likely changes, Louis designed some defensive routines and changes on the offensive end overnight.

But these changes are not immediately available.

Fitch is intoxicated by the victory, he is not to be disturbed, let him be happy for a few days.

Louie has reason to believe that the 76ers' counterattack will come soon, and how fast will depend on the ability of their coaching staff.

It was late at night, he rubbed his eyes, it was almost five in the morning.

He is tired and sleepy now, and a little hungry.

If he lay down to sleep, he would definitely not be able to get up until noon.

After much deliberation, or set an alarm clock, he must sleep for a while.

The next day, when Louie arrived at the Greek Academy, Fitch was emphasizing to the players the need to stick to pocket formations.

"Did you know that the great Dr. J only got a few points yesterday?"

"Only 12 points!"

he said aloud.

His voice is so provocative that no matter who it is, it will be heartening to hear him.

"He scored less than Cedric!" Fitch laughed. "Let's be honest, that's a feat!"

Everyone was laughing, and Louis said rather rudely: "Congratulations, lazy dog."

The crowd laughed even louder, and Maxwell's face froze.

Well, only the injured world of Maxwell — reached.
