Chapter 234

Chapter 234 He Controls the Rhythm of the Audience

In the first 5 minutes of the third quarter, the game showed a dramatic trend.

The Pistons tried to find Bird to fight, and Bird either defended or failed to defend. He tried his best to defend.

He has a lot of arrogance and never chooses to give up.

Louis recognized and supported his choice. As long as he doesn't exhaust himself to death, it is not a bad thing to endure the unbearable pain of life and be tortured like Curry.

Maybe after being tortured, he will cherish his teammates even more.

Unfortunately, Louis overestimated the offensive strength of the Pistons.

In a round where the Pistons took the initiative to call a timeout, Worthy pulled out and Bird singled out.A rare good opportunity, Maxwell didn't have a chance to switch defenses, let Bird and Worthy face each other, wouldn't he be sure of him?

All Earthlings, including Louie, were waiting to see how Byrd was humiliated by Worthy.

As a result, Bird stepped back two meters to force Worthy to make a long shot.Worthy quit and forced a breakthrough.

His speed is enough for Bird to eat his exhaust, but he is too confident in his own talent and underestimates other Celtics players.

Lambiel kept his eyes on Bird's matchup, and he wanted to help.

In the whole team, Lambiel only served two people, one was Louis and the other was Bird.Louis is because of his talent + bad mouth and getting angry can really destroy human nature, and Lambiel dare not challenge him.Bird was completely convinced step by step.

Worthy didn't expect someone to appear, couldn't slow down, and hit Lambiel like a car that couldn't control the accelerator.

Lambiel was driven out of bounds, drawing an undisputed offensive foul.

The Pistons were falling behind, and they were obsessed with playing Bird, regardless of the Celtics' weak defensive gaps at several other positions.

If it was Louie, he wouldn't insist on blowing up Bird.

Paxson and John Long, as well as Maxwell, who was blinded when encountering an inside confrontation, and Lambiel, who has an average defense ability, all have weaknesses that can be caught.

Their opponents are more ambitious than the sky, and they insist on beating Bird to the ground before considering other people.

I don't even want the free opportunities, and I don't know what I'm thinking.

Louis deliberately walked to the boundary to remind Bird: "If you can score a three-pointer, we will lead by 16 points."

Before the small ball era, 15 points was a fork in the road.Within this difference, I feel fine.If it exceeds this point difference, it will be a bit suffocating.

Louie wanted to break through the line immediately, not the "actually fine" advantage of leading by 15 points.

He was greedy, but Bird liked his idea.

Bird called the pick-and-roll and put Parish on him.Worthy was about to pinch him, but saw Bird pass the ball to Lambiel and run inside.

Originally thinking that his goal was the penalty area, Parish accelerated and rushed in.

On the way to the restricted area, however, Maxwell's cover was set.

Bird suddenly changed lanes and ran out of the corner three-point line.

Parish didn't expect this level of change. His stiff body hit Maxwell, Bird was left unattended, and Lambiel passed the ball to the right corner.

Bird received the ball for a three-pointer.

65 is better than 49

Daly ran to the technical desk sullenly and asked for a timeout.

He looked at Louis from a distance, and now he knew why the other party put up this lineup full of loopholes in the third quarter.

You believe I "can't catch it," don't you?Daly thought.

Bird and Isiah Thomas are the core of the Celtics, which is a consensus, needless to say.

Daly's plan was to destroy the Celtics' core and then use their collapse to radiate to several other lines.

However, Thomas was 16+7 like a god of war in the first quarter.

Bird led the second team to expand the lead in the third quarter.

Louis deliberately replaced the three main players, and then put Bird in front of the Pistons, almost taking the initiative to send the fat to their mouths.

They eagerly executed their pregame strategy, constantly finding someone to hit Bird and attack his defense.

This is problematic.

Curry has been targeted infinitely, and it has a "cost-effective" relationship. Moreover, in the era of wings becoming birds and inside all-rounders, anyone can hit him with the ball, and his own defense has not been recognized by any awards.Even if various high-level statistics show that his defense is okay, it is actually okay, half-baked kind of okay.

Bird has been selected to the second defense for two consecutive years, and if there is no accident this year, he will be selected again.

His defense has never been bad since his debut. What's worse is his talent, which can't defend against fast players.

But if the Pistons really take him as a dish and eat as much as they want, they really think too much.

Louie’s bird-selling tactic was based on Bird’s own offensive and defensive threats. The Pistons played like the first half and still achieved results, but they couldn’t achieve the expected results. Bird’s defensive end resisted pressure, and the offensive end destroyed everything. As a result, the Pistons missed several other points that were better than Bird’s.

Daly didn't expect that Louis would use a bad hand to play a bright card and let Bird sell it. They really couldn't beat the bird to death.

So far in the game, strategically speaking, the Pistons have failed in an all-round way.

Moreover, it is not the kind of failure of "it's not because our side is not strong, but the other side has Gundam".

Instead, they implemented their strategy in the most ideal state, the plan went perfectly, without a single obstacle, Louis smiled and watched them finish everything, and then, the scorer woke them up from their dream.

What troubled Daly the most was that Louie didn't crush him with the advantage of the Celtics lineup.Instead, he saw his own calculations, and then used his calculations to scratch him with a lineup with strong offense and disaster defense.As a result, he and his players were all feverish to deal with Bird.

This is the confrontation of the coaching staff and Daly's biggest failure.

Being led by Bird to the second team pulled the point difference to 16 points. Next, their main force will definitely return to the field. With the offensive and defensive strength of the Celtics' full main lineup, how can they narrow the point difference?

Daly sighed secretly and adjusted the lineup.

He changed the lineup on the field to Vinier, Tripka, Worthy, Parish, Kent Benson.

A lineup of two towers, but neither of the two towers has the mobility of the fourth position.

This will bring rebounding pressure beyond imagination to the Celtics, but at the same time, as long as they play flexible tactics, such as letting Lambiel, Bird, and Lang pull the shooters outward, the Pistons' defense will definitely not be able to take care of them.

Louie replaced the trio, including Long, and replaced Thomas, Sampson and Guy Williams.

"Guy, you have practiced three-pointers for several months, show me the results!"

Louie yelled at Williams before going on the pitch.

Thomas took good care of him: "Run to your favorite position and watch the ball."

Strictly speaking, the Celtics' current lineup is a small four.

There is only Thomas as a guard, and the other four are Gay playing the second position on the field. This position is the third position. Bird can switch between the third and fourth positions at any time. Sampson can switch between the fourth and fifth positions at any time.

Louis played with the lineup on the books casually.

Although the Celtics lack a reliable substitute for the fourth and fifth positions, the existing personnel are enough for him to work.

He believes that after the previous beatings, Daly should no longer consider his "beheading" plan.

This is a reflection of the importance of the head coach.

Many people say that the coach is not important, even if the lineup is strong enough to change the coach.However, if Louis is allowed to coach the Pistons, he will see the Celtics put on a bird-selling lineup to lure them to focus.He will definitely call a timeout to calm the players, and then go to catch the defensive weaknesses of their lineup one by one.

Daly trusted his judgment, and his players trusted their coach, so the few other people in the field of view were out of sight, only Bird.

A strategic misjudgment or mistake will ruin the entire game.

On the other hand, if Daly seized the opportunity just now, instead of being fooled by Louis to focus on Bird, but to break through each one in the correct way, the current point difference will probably be within 5 points.

Then, Louis probably didn't have the leisure time to work.

How relaxed he is, just look at his posture.

Before that, Louis was standing, and from time to time he came to the sidelines to give some instructions.

Now he sits down and chats with the TAs with a smile on his face.

He believes that there is no suspense in this game.

The Pistons used a tougher lineup, but the Celtics were good at attacking less mobile opponents from the perimeter.

In the last few seconds of this quarter, Lambiel pulled away after the pick-and-roll, Thomas broke through and passed two balls to Williams, who was left alone at a 45-degree angle.

He made two three-pointers from the left wing, and he made all of them.

The suspense has since disappeared.

At the end of the third quarter, the Celtics led the Pistons by 21 points.

"Anyone who doubts Little Lu's coaching ability should watch the video of this game." Tom Heinsohn laughed rudely, "He is walking Chuck Daly like a dog!"

It was necessary for Cousy to explain the meaning of Heinsohn's words to the audience in front of the TV.

"Yes, Little Lu controls the direction of the game. The most interesting thing about his game is not that he leads the opponent by a lot, but that he only leads by a little every time, which makes people see hope, as if there is still a chance to catch up. But as long as you follow his rhythm for a period of time, you will be 21 points behind like the current Pistons."

Cousy said: "There is still a lot of game time, but the Pistons have no hope of winning."

For Louis, he doesn't want to hear someone brag about his coaching ability.

He hopes to continue to be regarded as a madman with a full-level number.

He hopes that everyone will regard him as a young coach whose rise depends on the advantage of the lineup.

In this way, more and more coaches will suffer and be fooled in front of him.

To deepen that impression, he desperately needs more Gene Shu.

"I have nothing to say about it. Little Lu is really different." Daly told the "Boston Globe" reporter. "Only people who have played against him know that Little Lu off the court is completely different from Little Lu on the court."
