The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 240: The storm is coming

,

"It's another conference finals year, and the Celtics seem stronger than ever, but they're up against the Milwaukee Bucks who swept them out last season.

Will the result be the same this time? Will the Celtics be embarrassed, or will the Bucks finally prove that the Celtics' inherent style of play will be overwhelmed by gravity, as it was last year?

Mind you, no one believed the Celtics would lose, as they won the Eastern Conference playoffs almost with contempt. After sweeping Washington in the first round and then sweeping Detroit again in the semifinals for a record 72-10, they had a great season.

They shot 55 percent from the field in the playoffs and outscored opponents by more than 15 points per game. "Sometimes the game plan that Coach Lu makes and what the players actually use and execute are two different things, but so far we haven't had any issues," said littlelu's assistant Rudy Tomjanovich. "It's like Lu was playing Pac-Man, controlling the player and saying, 'Okay, you eat him, then you go catch him, and then we win.'" - The Boston Globe.

The trend of the playoffs is becoming more and more clear.

It is the battle between the Celtics and the Lakers, and other teams are destined to be just passers-by.

In the first two rounds of the Celtics and the Purple and Gold, only one game was lost in total.

In the Western Conference finals, they all face the challenge of the strongest opponents in the division.

Some who expected the Bucks to challenge the Celtics were disappointed, one of 10 teams to beat the Celtics in the regular season, the Bucks' first game in the Eastern Conference finals. The performance is not surprising.

They took an extreme strategy.

This kind of defense is called "one-sided four-man stacking".

As the name suggests, the Bucks' defensive focus is to circle half of the position, and then place four defenders on that position.

The problem is, the Celtics are usually 1-4 high.

This formation will have up to three people on one side and two on the other, keeping the space flexible.

Therefore, the Bucks are so defensive, they must let go at least one of the Celtics.

It was Bill Laimbeer who was let go by them. At the same time, they were not so focused on John Long's defense, and their main energy was on limiting the Celtics' Big Three.

Their ambition was admired by Louie, as strong as the Pistons. They only wanted Thomas and Bird to be strangled to death, but the Bucks wanted three of them to be strangled at the same time.

A team with Sidney Moncrief is wayward.

But unfortunately, none of the Celtics' Big Three can't be defended by Moncrief.

He limited the attack of Bird and Thomas at most. Sampson's height advantage was obvious. No matter how he played, he suffered.

The problem is, the Celtics cooperate too tacitly, and the Bucks, except Moncrief, are not very mobile defenders.

Hand-to-hand combat is ok, but if you play a modern one-sided stacking and a wide range of rotations, you will be pulling the eggs because your feet are too big.

Sampson scored 20 points by cutting inside to eat the cake.

Bird did not have the mind to score, and he passed the ball more to Laimbeer and Long, who were strategically waived by the Bucks.

Both also scored over 20 points.

Even if the Bucks locked the Celtics' offense with advanced defensive strategies, they couldn't score under the Celtics' defense.

Although the Celtics are not a strong defensive team, if they are strong on the defensive end, their opponents cannot easily score.

In the first game, Don Nelson's strategy was overdone, and the players were under-implemented, and he was killed by three to five.

1 to 0

"The next game will be more intense," Nelson told Louie.

Louie laughed: "If I were you, I would stick to the current strategy."

Because this set of strategies is really advanced, stacking four people on one side means that an area will be released. If you change it and replace it with three people stacking on one side, will the effect be bad?

The Celtics' personal ability is too strong. If they want to be limited by defense, they must have strong defensive ability and subtle cooperation.

Moncrief's strength is limited, and he can only exert more power if his teammates can help him.

But the Bucks have few teammates who can help.

The Bucks have a group of strong men who dare to confront and are not afraid of hand-to-hand combat. With the best wing defenders in the league, they have played the league's first defense year after year.

game2, the Bucks made a desperate gesture.

That's what happened when they beat the Celtics in the regular season.

But in the regular season, Louie will be more conservative, and if he doesn't fight against them, it will be different in the playoffs.

The Celtics once beat the 76ers 1-3 in a row back then, how could it be possible to back down here?

When the desire for hand-to-hand combat on both sides reaches the same level, the winner can only be determined by the feel of the shot.

This one is the strength of the Celtics.

The game is over.

2 to 0

Nelson's scalp is tingling, and what they did against the Celtics last year doesn't work this year.

No, the Bucks' approach to the Celtics has been ineffective since Louie took over the team.

Nelson doesn't just value the Celtics' talent, but their offensive creativity.

This is something that players cannot learn by themselves, and it is not something that ordinary coaches can bring.

Watching the Celtics play, and then looking at his own, Nelson is inevitably ashamed.

Now that the series is not over, he must bite the bullet and say: "The next game will be more intense."

Louie believes that he will do what he says.

On this day, the reporter asked a very impolite question.

"Are you ready to face the Lakers in the Finals?"

Louie looked at his sign and was disappointed to find it was from Philadelphia.

Such a brain-dead question was not asked by a New York reporter. He was not used to it.

"Please respect our showdown with Milwaukee. It is still unknown who will advance to the finals." Although Louis is very modest, the warm-up work for the finals has already begun.

There are also basketball experts within the league, who often make playoff predictions about which teams are likely to make the Finals.

They analyze those potential matchups.

If it is the 76ers and the Lakers, it is a continuation and extension of the grievances over the past few years.

If it was the Lakers and the Celtics?

Then they have to find a way to make arrangements in advance, publicize it, and make a big wave.

Think about how the ncaa used the complexion of Bird and Magic to make the league's commercial value take off and nationality soar.

This is a path to learn from.

Color and race, white and black, it's a topic that piques the interest of Americans anytime, anywhere. Some people use it to make money, some people use it to get away with it, some people use it to run for president, and the only thing they have in common is that everyone who plays this card has achieved their goals.

You have to believe that Americans eat this one.

Louie defended their matchup with the Bucks in mouth, but in private, he sent Tomjanovich to the Western battlefield to scout the Western Conference between the Lakers and the Suns.

He stopped caring about the Bucks, and he paid the price.

They could have swept the Bucks, but in Game 4 in Milwaukee, they got a blowback and lost a close game.

The Celtics haven't lost in almost two months, and the win was like a dose of adrenaline that lifted the Bucks' hearts.

game5

The Celtics didn't give them any more chances and played their best game of the postseason.

In a game without overtime, facing the Bucks with the league's first defense, they scored 129 points, beat the Bucks with 25 points, 4-1, and beautifully swept the opponent out of the playoffs. 11 wins and 1 loss to advance to the finals.

As for the Lakers, they also lost a game they shouldn't have against the Suns.

But it was innocuous, and the result was also 4 to ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The Lakers eliminated the Suns.

Two highly anticipated teams came to the stage of the final.

The magician is the best ever;

Bird is stronger than anyone;

The magician is overrated, he is far inferior to the "big o";

Bird is just an average player because he's so good around Thomas and Sampson.

Diode rhetoric like this can be found all over the United States.

Louie was tortured when he was getting a haircut outside. He wanted to get a nice haircut, which was fine, but his hairdresser was a white man, and he sprayed magicians for 40 minutes.

Louis was in a dilemma, he could neither agree nor disagree.

Fortunately, his complexion saved him. He's Asian and doesn't need to stand in line, so he can make a logical choice: Bird and Magic are both great.
