The Rest, Only Noise

,

The Celtics returned to the locker room, Fitch didn't get angry, and it was a close game.

It can't be said that the player is not playing well, it can only be said that the opponent's performance is better.

But the series isn't over yet.

Fitch took the initiative to find Louis.

"Road, we have to think of a way to change the current predicament," Fitch said.

Auerbach told Louis to "wait," and now, he did.

"I'll go back and get ready," Louie said.

1-3 behind the situation, the Celtics did not give up hope. They played a hearty game. Although they lost, they could see the light. Moreover, the 76ers' practice of selling tickets for the finals in advance undoubtedly set a fire in their hearts.

They are underdogs and have been cornered.

The Sixers didn't want to let them go and wanted to humiliate them before killing them.

Therefore, they can only bite back like a desperate rabbit.

Some older Sixers fans are concerned that over the years, the Celtics have used their glorious history to prove that they can only truly lose if they beat them four times in a series.

In a situation like this 1-3 behind, although there is not much hope, it is far from the time of despair.

After all, the Celtics were the first team in history to come back from a 1-3 deficit.

Unlike the 76ers, the Philadelphia Inquirer was concerned about Spectrum Arena's early sale of Finals tickets: "Did no one tell them that the 1969 Los Angeles Forum was waiting for the Lakers to win the championship and they were going to be released. The balloon, will it stay on it forever? Don't they remember that when the 76ers also led the Celtics 3-1 in 1968, six young fans ran up to Auerbach and put out insulting slogans. Did it stir up the blood in Boston and lead to the eventual defeat?"

76ers coach Cunningham explained the loss 13 years ago.

"The reason we were reversed was because I was injured," Cunningham said confidently. "This time is different. I can't imagine the Bostonians pulling the game back."

That night, Louie fast-forwarded in the hotel, looking back at the last three consecutive defeats.

It's not unreasonable for Fitch to insist on pocket formation. Dr. J, the core player of the 76ers, played dismal. The one who pushed the Celtics into this situation was Andrew Toney and the 76ers' persistent mid-range shooting touch since Game 2.

In terms of the Celtics' personnel reserves on the defensive line, they do not have the strength to compete with the 76ers on defense.

Pockets are a great way to limit Dr. J, but the Sixers have grown into monsters that don't need Dr. J to lead them to a series win.

As a result, defense is no longer a priority for the series.

The quality of the Celtics' offensive response when the 76ers take off will be the deciding factor.

Louie lists the Sixers' regular rotation players.

Cunningham is very extreme. In order to maintain the high-intensity and high-intensity offensive and defensive quality, he generally only plays seven-player rotations in the regular stage. Among these seven people, Dr. J and Caldwell Jones, due to insufficient range, can be properly Consider emptying them, contracting strategically to create a flexible pocket that can be opened and tightened at any time.

Louie reviewed the footage and found more detail, recording the data he needed in a raw way.

It's already dawn.

But his work is not over, he needs to make a game 5 battle plan before the afternoon review meeting.

Without effective planning, they could be eliminated 4-1 by the 76ers again, as they did last season.

Therefore, Louis is very careful and does not want to miss any details.

In the afternoon, in the video analysis room, Louis entered the room with a cup of coffee.

Everyone was already seated, Fitch even took the seat early, and even Auerbach came to sit in, Jane Walker took notes, and the team had come to a life-and-death situation.

Louis unexpectedly becomes the protagonist.

"Little devil, if you have any idea, just say it." Auerbach laughed, "It's time, we have to make some changes!"

Fitch hated Auerbach's participation in coaching meetings, but right now there's really nothing he can do to stop them.

Louis hung five blackboard suction on the tactical board, and wrote the numbers 1-5 respectively.

"This series, we made some mistakes."

"For example, No. 1 is Knight, No. 2 is John, No. 3 is Larry, No. 4 is Cedric, and No. 5 is Bill." Louie laughed, "I want to ask, which of these five defenders Who is the worst?"

Louie didn't give the answer to anyone else, he gave the answer himself.

"Forgive me for saying this, but from the game, there is no worst." Louie pointed out bluntly, "Nate, Larry, Cedric, your defenses are all terrible."

Maxwell's face didn't change, and it wasn't a day or two that Archibald's defense was bad. Only Bird asked angrily, "Speak straight."

"The problem is that, except for Knight, the other two are not bad defensive players." Louie was like a teacher lecturing, clearly pointing out that Fitch's placement and defensive matchup had problems. "Cedric can't adapt to the confrontation in the interior, and Larry can't handle Dr. J's athletic ability. If you force such a matchup, of course you will play bad defense."

Auerbach drank a cigar and asked strangely, "I watch videos every day, can't I find such a simple problem?"

Fitch's face was ugly, but he didn't have any seizures. Who told them to be smashed?

"So, I suggest starting from Game 5, we need to make adjustments to the defensive matchup." Louie put Bird at the four position, "Larry has proven many times in the team's scrims. He can defend the inside line, and if he is against the opponent's 4, his lack of mobility will be masked to the greatest extent; Cedric, from the next game, you will play against Dr. j, Dr. A gentleman, he's not as savage as the Jones brothers, nor as rude as Dawkins, I just want to know, do you have the guts to fight him?"

Maxwell sneered.

"I'll trample him to death for a sandwich!" He made a bold statement.

Louis controlled the rhythm of the resumption meeting. He clearly had dark circles under his eyes, and there was a clear look of distress in his expression, but he was full of energy when he spoke.

"Finally, Knight."

Louie said slowly: "How much water the barrel can hold depends on the shortest piece of wood. Unfortunately, I can't change this problem by adjusting the position, but we can induce a defensive strategy. Maurice Qi Cox and Andrew Toney and Dr. J caused us a lot of trouble in the game, and the reason why our pockets were continuously pierced was precisely because we couldn't restrain them from rushing from the outside to the inside."

"This is the data I calculated overnight. All of Mochis' offenses are within the three-point line, and 55% of his breakthroughs come to the penalty area; 30% of his offenses are half-block jumpers from the short corner on the right; The rest is pull-up jumpers evenly spaced high on the right side and right-handed drop shots in the elbow area."

"As you can see, he's a right-handed attacker and his comfort zone is right-handed."

"What we're going to do is get him to the left half, Knight, remember? Get him to the left, no matter what you do, grab, scratch, push, push, or just let him out completely. attacking space on the left side, but also forcing him to the left side!"

When everyone saw the photocopies sent by Louis, the line-by-line attack distribution map was accurate to the percentage. Some people looked like reading a book from heaven, while others looked horrified, and Fitch's eyes widened.

Auerbach never felt that coaching was a complicated matter. In his era, the Celtics had less than ten sets of conventional tactics and still won 9 championships. But in Louis' speech today, he couldn't find anything wrong. Maybe the times have really changed, just like more and more complicated trading rules.

"Road, Andrew Tony is our big trouble," said k.c. Jones.

Louie smiled, took a sip of coffee, and continued: "Tony and Mochis are both right-handed players, but don't be too happy, his attacking range is very broad, you can check on the statistics sheet I gave you. You see, his reach is all over the area, and he can shoot from anywhere."

K.c asked in surprise, "How to deal with him then?"

"Andrew has the ability to dominate the game. What we have to do is not to push him into an offensive area that he is not comfortable with like Mochis, but to find a way to force him to take shots in low-percentage positions."

Louie pointed out, "60% of Andrew's offense is completed in the paint, 35% of which are jumpers in the paint, and the rest are layups; the remaining 40% of the shots are widely distributed on the left and right sides. The high post, the top of the arc, the short corner, the elbow -- if you look closely, you'll see that he's shooting below 8 percent of his average from the right elbow and left low."

"We should find a mad dog-like character to deal with him. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com forces him to shoot in these two positions. If necessary, use double teams to force him to move to this area."

Speaking of which, Louis took all the suction plates off the tactical board.

"This is the adjustment we need to make in terms of defense, and the other is attacking. Actually, that's the point."

"It's too passive to expect to use defense to turn things around. We have enough offensive talent to make more changes on the offensive end to respond to the pressure of the 76ers. I believe that the changes on the offensive end will feed back our defense to the greatest extent possible. ."

His mouth was dry, and he finished his cup of coffee.

A year ago, Auerbach couldn't have imagined that Louis would enter the role so quickly. I heard before that he was only helping to build the offensive system. Why is he now grasping everything from offense to defense?

And Fitch doesn't seem to have any temper. Isn't he the most hated when others point fingers at his work?

Seeing Fitch's lost face, Auerbach was inexplicably relieved.
