Chapter 157 The Three Dogs of Hell
Chapter 157
Miraculously, after Malone made that goal, the 76ers' offense actually improved.
Andrew Toney once again reminded Boston of what happened in the Eastern Conference Finals that year.
"Why is this kid so crazy every time he meets the Celtics?" Heinsohn couldn't understand, "He scored 76 of the 10ers' total points in the first half of the quarter."
At present, the 76ers team has 12 points, 2 of which are Malone's wild free throw line jumpers, and the remaining 10 points are all taken by Tony.
No wonder Heinsohn made such an evaluation, it's too wicked.
If he doesn't explode sooner or later, he will explode when he is facing the Celtics.
And once it explodes, it's not over yet.
Louis smiled. Although Tony played hard, the Celtics still had the initiative.
18 to 12, even if Tony broke out, he didn't need to call a timeout.
Not only that, but he also called out the three-headed dogs from the bench: Lambir, Angie, Carl.
Bad dog, bulldog, mad dog.
Louie decided to use the three of them, replacing John Long, Maxwell and Sampson.
And, he specifically told Angie: "I don't care about other people taking the ball, but if they pass the ball to Andrew, you must put pressure on him. And, as long as you see Andrew holding the ball, you must find a way to get close to him, put pressure on the ball, and fight with all your strength. You are welcome."
"Don't worry, he must be dealt with!" Carl said confidently.
"I like your confidence," Louis smiled. "If he's still so accurate after you guys get on it, don't blame me for being rude to you."
Ranbir complained: "He is as accurate as a ghost every time he meets us. What can we do?"
"That was in the past! As I said, things in the past are worthless, what matters is the present moment. His accurate votes in the past show that you are not aggressive enough to defend yourself. Harden up like a man!"
Angie didn't say a word. He was the one who defended Tony. It stands to reason that he was under the most pressure.
But he is the least afraid of marking the opponent's sharp knife among the three-headed dogs.
He always likes to guard the opponent's best player, talk the hardest trash, pick the biggest thing, and get hit the hardest.
Louis is adamant that Tony is not unrestricted.
Director Lu can kill Curry with pincer tactics, why can't they kill Tony?The scale and defensive rules at this time are more conducive to players' pressure. It stands to reason that these bodies have defects and sharp knives that rely on shooting can be crushed to death.
On the court at this time, Bird is holding the ball and attacking Dr. J.
His offense didn't take Dr. J seriously. He was slow, but sharp and effective. He dribbled inside, caused the opponent's foul, and licked the basket softly to score.
2+1 just let the three-headed dog come up.
Bird's provocative heart was activated by Louis. He clearly took advantage of it, but he relentlessly spit out a country accent to Dr. J: "Are you really on the defensive? How come I don't feel the pressure at all? You act like a woman, why don't you just change your name to Julie, and it fits your personality when you say it smoothly."
Dr. J looked back sharply, and was about to step forward when Malone blocked him.
"!%#￥%...&" Ma Long spoke Mosi language that outsiders could not understand.
Actually, Dr. J didn't understand either, but he knew Malone was trying to calm himself down.Bird's words were harsh on the "Julie". Fans know his name is Julius (Julius). When he was a child, his family would call him "Juli" for convenience. Until he first entered the ABA, some people still called him that.
But soon, the name disappeared.
You can call him Kitty Hawk, you can call him Hounedy, you can call him Black Moses, you can call him Talon, you can call him JW, you can call him Dr. J, but you just can't call him Julie.
When Louis saw Byrd chattering to Dr. J, he knew that the Byrd he was familiar with, the king of kings who liked to insult opponents in the fans' impression, had been awakened by the blood-successor limit engraved into his DNA.
Once Bird had fun with this kind of thing, it was disaster for everyone else.
Obviously, he is currently enjoying the game process of insulting the Doctor, blowing up his team, and continuing to insult the Doctor.
Additional penalty hits, 21 to 12.
Falling into positional battles, Ainge's defense amazed the famous Celtics.
"Danny Ainge has a rare energy in him, he wants to prevent everyone!"
"That's right, maybe he's the answer to defending Andrew Toney." Heinsohn figuratively said, "He's Bill Lambiel on the back line."
Seeing that the Celtics replaced Sampson, the 76ers' offense deliberately leaned inside.
Ma Long's strong attacking ability may be the weakest of all super centers since ancient times, and maybe only Bill Russell's offensive ability is not as good as him.But his shooting point is basically at the basket, and he is the number one offensive rebounder in history. If he shoots at the basket, he can ensure that he can also have offensive rebounds if he does not score.
Louis saw the focus of the 76ers' offense, so he commanded from a distance with gestures.
In the bottom corner, Angie and Tony fought together.
The referee didn't care about the dispute there. He noticed that Malone received the ball in a low position, and Bird's flanking attack came instantly.
Malone defended the ball as hard as he could.
Suddenly, Karl jumped on him like a very hungry wild dog and hugged the ball in his arms.
The scene was chaotic, and the referee Borgia couldn't control the situation alone, so he could only let them jump the ball.
Carl's jump ball is not Malone's opponent, but Malone can't see the movement behind him, so he can only roughly determine the position of his teammates and shoot the ball over.
Bird was elusive and copied the ball. After Malone worked hard for a long time, the ball still belonged to the Celtics.
"He's very excited today." Seeing Bird in this state, Louis was very relieved.
The Celtics' offense was right in front of Louie's eyes, and he could see Bird asking for the ball in the low post.
Carl tosses the ball over and asks, "Larry, is he okay?"
"Don't ask such unquestionable questions!"
When Bird replied to him, Dr. J was angered again.
Dr. J made his old habit of gambling forward to steal, only to give Bird the opportunity to turn and get away.Seeing the doctor's defensive choices, Louis believed that there are really players who can have great defensive statistics at the same time, but are not great defenders.
Doctor is the standard answer to this question.
It's hard to find a player like him who can consistently contribute 1.8 blocks per game, 1.8 steals, messy defensive habits, and often loses defensive positions due to gambling defensive choices.
The moment Dr. J lost his defensive position, Bird cut into the basket, and Malone was unable to help defend, so he could only watch the golden retriever bird come to the basket and dunk with a backhand.
"Moses said your defense is worse than Philadelphia's food safety laws," Bird sneered bitterly.
Today, Dr. J obviously only has a temper and no confidence. When he meets Bird in this state, he can only be slaughtered.
The 76ers saw that the doctor lacked confidence and hit the ball more to Malone and Tony.
But Tony has never had a chance to catch the ball since Angie came on the court. It is a simpler and feasible option to give Malone the ball than to wait for him to run out to pass the ball.
Malone has a strong position, and his physical advantage is enough to get to the basket, forcing Lambiel to fall into huge defensive pressure.
There is a natural gap between him and Malone's physical confrontation. As long as he is stuck under the basket and then catches the ball, it will be difficult to defend.
Even if Malone only has one trick to turn around and shoot and hook at the basket, Lambiel's defensive strength is hard to match.
For two consecutive rounds, Malone played one with his left hand and one with his right hand. Lambir's defense was torn apart and almost disappeared.
When Lambiel came to the offensive end and settled down, Louis stood on the sidelines and asked softly: "Bill, can you stop him by petting Moses all the time? If you keep doing this, stop fighting. Going to the supermarket outside to buy a dress as a cheerleader will contribute more than being on the court."
No matter how many bad habits Lambiel has in his life and how many conflicts he has created within the team, there is one thing about him that Louis will always appreciate, that is, the attitude of doing whatever it takes to win and sacrificing everything to help the team.
He doesn't mind taking on the world for a victory.
As soon as Louis provoked verbally, Lambiel's temper came up, and his actions became unpredictable.
Angie missed an outside shot, and Malone was already stuck under the basket, but Lambiel behind him hit his ass with his thigh and knocked him out of bounds from the basket.
"Beep!!!!"
This is a foul that cannot be let go, but as soon as the referee's whistle sounded, the Philadelphia generals had already had a head-on conflict with Lambir.
