Chapter 227 Are you from New York?
On the eve of the playoffs, Louie frets over two things, the suit for tomorrow night, and a little personal need.
Since Lorraine became pregnant, they strictly followed the doctor's advice and did not have sex within four months.
However, when Lorraine's belly swelled, Louis' demand suddenly dropped.
It's not that he doesn't like Lorraine anymore, but that he has a natural awe for pregnant women.A pregnant woman is the greatest existence in the world in his eyes, how can he do that kind of thing?It was difficult for him to reverse this concept for a while.
This is a kind of problem that is hard to say, just like some people who read novels have all kinds of thoughts of "you can't write like this, this is very poisonous", and the poisonous spots in their eyes often make the author very confused.Authors with a good temper will admit their mistakes to you but do not correct them. Authors with a bad temper will delete posts or block you, QNMLGB face to face or in their hearts.
(Intimate PS: The author of this book is of excellent quality, belonging to the former)
Louie had to do nothing and go home to sleep.
One of the hardest things about coaching the Celtics is how they dress at home in the summer.
According to the solar terms of previous years, it should start to pick up now.
The worst March snowstorm of the century hit New England in the middle of last month, surprising Americans with waist-deep snow, disrupting traffic in many cities and sending snow plows into ditches.
Forecasters said it was the heaviest snowfall since the blizzard of 1888.
The blizzard killed 11 people and delayed warming.
So Louis is not worried that Boston Garden will become a hell on earth. Although there will still be all kinds of alcohol, body odor, sweat odor, and indistinguishable odor, at least it will not be as hot as entering a sauna.
As for the little matter of the foul smell, Louis had long since gotten over it.
On the night of April 4, the opening night of the 17 NBA playoffs, the Celtics played at home against the Washington "win or win" Bullets.
The first round of the five-game best-of-three system avoided the dramatic plot where the front-position team lost its fighting spirit due to core player injuries/internal conflicts broke out/sudden mentality explosion/various reasons, and was reversed by the rear-position team for three consecutive games.
There are very few post-position teams that can counterattack with hard power.
Because the truth is that, if you really have enough strength, how can you play so badly in the regular season?
Louie didn't have much preparation for the Bullets.
Just one request, don't flank Jeff Louland.
This person was also selected to the Eastern Conference All-Star this year, and Louis coached him.Because he's one of the lowest-voted All-Stars, he doesn't get much playing time.
All Louis knew about him came from the regular season.
Luland is a Caucasian insider with no muscle lines and a very high body fat content.
In terms of play, he looks like a stretched, more offensive Wes Unseld, or a young, shrunken Sabonis without any athleticism.
It's fun to watch him play, and Louland relies on his own fat to push the defense and put the ball in the basket awkwardly, which he always does.
Every time he saw him take off less than ten centimeters from the ground, he either went in, was disturbed, or was blocked by the basket, Louis felt funny.
However, if you underestimate him because of this, you will have to pay a price.
The Bullets, aiming to win a game, absorbed the experience of those teams that had defeated the Celtics in the regular season, and went up to the confrontation. The fierce and unusual confrontation seemed to smash the Celtics into pieces.
The head coach of the Bullets, Gene Shu Wanwan, never expected that Louis would have a lineup of four big players and one small player.
Tonight, the Celtics' starting lineup is surprising: Thomas, Bird (SG), Maxwell (SF), Lambiel, Sampson.
Letting Bird play shooting guard is like provoking the opposite No. [-] position.
It's like a bitch in heat raising her ass to seduce a wild male dog to ride her.
The reason why Louis put up a four-high lineup is that he wants to use height to counter-explode the rebounds of the Bullets. As for defense, although there will be problems, no one in the Bullets can use this to make the situation out of control.
That is to say, even if he sends Bird away, although the opponent can score, it will not blow up the Celtics' defense.
Moreover, he deliberately asked Bird and others to shrink their defense and shoot three-pointers with bullets.
Despite their high recognition for three-pointers, the number of three-pointers made per game is very low.
Their head coach Shu is an old-school coach who can't accept three-pointers, even if they can make them efficiently.
The strategy of shrinking the defensive line and luring the Bullets to make mid-range and long-range shots was successful from the first second of the game.
More importantly, the rebounding pressure of the four-high lineup made it impossible for the Bullets, which ranked third in the league in defensive rebound rate.
Louie sat on the sidelines like a spectator, no matter what happened on the field.
The Celtics rushed to grab the rebounds full of oppression, so that even if the Bullets defended successfully, they could not protect the rebounds.
They couldn't let Unseld's successor, Luland, send a beautiful pass like Unseld after getting the rebound.
Halfway through the first quarter, the Celtics led the Bullets 14-6.
Louis rotated players, leaving Lambiel and Maxwell, letting Bird play the fourth position, and then calling out John Long and Weidman-letting these two shooters with hundreds of paces speed up the offensive rhythm.
Gene Shu was relieved that Louie didn't put up a four-high lineup for a long time.
Thinking about it carefully, this is inevitable.
The physical exertion of a big man is much greater than that of a small man, and he will rush to grab rebounds fiercely when he comes up, which will consume more energy.
When Louis gains an advantage, he replaces the player, which is a typical example of taking advantage and running away.
The matchup between Sampson and Luland is a highlight of this game.
Louis didn't think that Sampson's position could be compared with that of Luland, after all, it was the latter's ability to be an All-Star.
Sampson is indeed no match for his elephant-legged lower body.
But Bird has an advantage in the contest with Rick Mahon.
Also, his trash talk hurts.
He will tell Mahon where the rebound will fly in advance, and take the rebound one step faster than Mahon.
Louie didn't expect that rebounding could also be used for comparison. Bird, a country bumpkin, would teach him a new trick every day.
It's a pity that this way of pretending is probably only good for him.
One of the characteristics that the Celtics showed tonight is not giving their opponents a chance.
What you are best at, I want to show that I am better than you.
If you can use the strengths of the opponent to defeat the opponent, it means that the two teams are really not at the same level.
Oh yes, although the Bullets' defensive rebounding rate is third in the league.
But their opponent, the Celtics' defensive rebound rate is second in the league.
Even in normal play, the Celtics also grabbed better defensive rebounds than them. Louie started the game wholeheartedly, just wanting to conduct a scientific experiment to see what would happen if Bird played the second position.
The result is not bad.
Before Jordan, the second position in the NBA did not have the comprehensiveness of a small forward, and very few had outstanding athletic ability. Therefore, just letting them shoot the ball and narrowing the space can subdue most of them.
Although Bird is not fast and has poor bounce, he has a keen sense of defense and extremely dirty little moves. He is dirtier than Lambiel.
This is the secret to his continuous selection to the second defense.
Swinging from the second position to the fourth position, he can torture the opponent. This ability, throughout the ages, is probably only him.
In the first half, Louis did not call a timeout, and the Celtics led the Bullets 59 to 34.
In midfield, the reporter asked Louis: "Will the second half be called a timeout?"
"I hope every timeout I call is valuable. If my players are playing well on the court, why should I call a timeout to disrupt their state?" Louis asked rationally.
Those words would embarrass his opponent, but other than that he couldn't explain why he didn't call a timeout.
In the second half, Louis called a symbolic timeout.
Because the Celtics played the game, Gene Shu deliberately did not call a timeout.
He wanted Louie to call first, he couldn't let Louie go through a game without calling a timeout.
In order to make a replacement, Louis later walked lazily to the technical desk to ask for a timeout.
The two sides tacitly replaced the main players, and the Celtics sent a five-man lineup led by substitute players to continue to reap the mess. Louie's first playoff game as the official head coach is about to end in victory.
At the end of the game, an unpleasant incident happened.
Celtics rookie forward Guy Williams made a three-pointer at the buzzer. At that time, the Bullets were no longer defensive.
The Bullets players haven't commented yet, but their coach is angry instead.
"@￥...%#...&￥"
The scene was chaotic.
"Little Lu is an excellent coach, but unfortunately, he hasn't learned how to restrain his players."
Guy Williams may have done something wrong, but Louie couldn't possibly give face to his old comrades, and one of those old guys who denounced him during the regular season was Gene Shue.
"As a coach, the best thing I can give them is to let them play freely on the court." Louie said deliberately, "On the contrary, some elderly coaches will formulate some confusing rules and regulations to limit players' performance, which is called discipline."
"Little Lu, can you tell me the name in more detail?"
Reporters don't want to hear general terms like "certain old coaches."
"A coach who led his team to eighth in the Eastern Conference." Louie almost spelled the opponent's name.
The reporter went on and on: "Can you be more specific?"
"Are you from New York?" Louis said disgustedly, "I'm so blunt and you still ask?"
