Chapter 58 Stunning appearance
After Ralph Sampson came on the court, the game became his show.
"This kid is really not a false reputation!"
K.C. Jones had seen his abilities in the training field, but when he came to the NBA, he wanted to perform to surprise everyone.
The all-around dunk that Bird received was his meeting gift to the league.
Next, with his thin body, he took the ball and turned around and shot.
With his physical condition and jump height and playing in the fourth position, Dave Greenwood was at a loss for his shot.
"Bang!"
Beat the board.
Sampson kept in mind Louis's teachings and played with a sway towards the periphery. He played a few players at low positions and started to catch the ball outside the paint area, using a shocking Tiangun.
He is literally capable of anything.
Although I know everything, I am not very proficient.
At the end of the first quarter, the Celtics led the Bulls 30-19.
Fitch asked to suspend the buzzer-beating attack.
Louis suggested: "I don't think it's hard, so I just let Larry throw the ball into the inside, and Ralph catches the dunk."
"Don't underestimate your opponent!" Fitch rolled his eyes.
Just as many coaches take every time out seriously, he has arranged a complex tactic.
Bird was responsible for serving the sideline ball. The tactics designed by Fitch needed three people to cooperate. Sampson was pulled aside. If there was no accident, he would be just a spectator in the final attack.
Accidents are always everywhere.
John Long tripped by his opponent, Ranbill was not a good ending point, and seeing that the tactics were about to fail, Sampson pointed to the basket and ran towards the inside.
Bird made a fuss and really got a job outside the space.
Sampson moved to the inside like a horse, jumped up, caught Bird's flawless pass, dunked, and scored the final attack of the Celtics in the first quarter.
32 to 19
Fitch was stunned, and Louis smiled proudly and said, "I'll say it, it's not that difficult."
Some of Sampson's problems gradually became exposed in the early part of the second quarter.
He is not good enough.
Although he gained 5 kilograms in the summer, he was generally a thin player.
The Celtics regarded him as the fourth position, but the Bulls would not always let the fourth position face him.
After a while, he met Gilmore.
"Train A" does not speak of martial ethics, relies on his seniority to make his seniority and scored 6 offensive rebounds on Sampson. What's ridiculous is that 5 of these 6 offensive rebounds were won in the same round.
Every time he takes offensive rebounds, he acts like a straightforward boy, throws his hand up without fake moves.
Sampson is not the only one who can get him, but the defensive interference is fine.
Gilmore's explosive body and rough offensive skills made Louis think of Dwight Howard. The two of them were really similar.
In the middle of the game, Sampson failed to make two jump shots from outside the free throw line, and Fitch stopped the game again.
"Ralph, you have to go to the inside to play your advantage!" Fitch shouted, "Don't always worry about your fucking jump shot!"
To warn Sampson, he replaced the young man who was fighting hard.
The person who replaced him was Rick Robbie, the center of the Tanhua who was in the same class as Bird - this guy was better than Bird, which Louis didn't expect.
He still can't understand that the Pacers traded the No. 1 pick for Robbie because Bird refused to enter the NBA early, and then gave Robbie to the Celtics midway through the season just to get Billy Nevin. But Nevin's salary was higher than that of Robbie, and they gave up Bird and the Tanhua Show, which had not yet developed for a player who could not reduce their financial pressure.
The "L" tactics play a significant role in the Celtics' game.
Bill Fitch looked at Louis from time to time, because when the team used the "L" tactics to complete the offensive, the live announcers would praise the Celtics' offense.
If the team plays well in tactics, the coach should of course be praised the most.
Fitch wanted to know what he thought about Louis, whose tactics had all made others cheer and applause.
He observed Louis' reaction and found that he had no opinion.
The most critical point of the new tactics provided by Louis is to give Bird something to do.
Bird threaded needles again and again, to Ranbir, to Maxwell, to Rick Robbie, to others.
He is an unquestionable genius.
Incorporating L tactics is just a piece of cake.
In his first game of the new season, he became the leader of this tactic for the first time when he played the L tactic.
On the Bulls' side, they lack a stable positional strong player, and can only rely on the strong breakthrough of the bad team player Reggie Seus, who has helped them bring lottery shows for years in the future to maintain the suspense of the game.
Gilmore faces Ranbir, an honest and good man faces a despicable villain. They are very different from their style of playing to their bodies.
Train A suddenly accelerated, storming Ranbir's defense and scoring strongly.
40 to 50
"Bill, where did you throw the evil spirit against Ralph?" Louis asked sarcastically.
Ranbill didn't plan to do anything at all, and he was beaten with one goal. Louis suddenly made things difficult for him, and suddenly became angry and said coldly: "Show me!"
When Bird lost all his face when he played Larry Kenon on the offensive end, he shot a left-wing center shot.
Ranbir's elbow strike left Gilmore lying on the ground.
This time, the referee discovered Ranbir's move.
He gave an offensive foul.
The Gilmore was on the ground and was still concerned about Ranbir's elbow, "Is your hands okay?"
A word like "I've got a big trough" suddenly appeared in Ranbir's heart. He had never seen such a freak in his many years of playing basketball, which actually made him feel a little ashamed.
He didn't want to make things difficult with Gilmore, what's wrong? As he thought about it, Ranbir regarded Louis as the culprit, and it was this little devil who was making trouble!
This game allows people to see the depth of the Celtics' lineup, the power of new players and new tactics.
Sampson's stunning is obvious to all, but Bird's debut in his sophomore season is even more surprising.
He played for 45 minutes, and if it weren't for the final game, Fitch might have allowed him to play the whole game.
Bird only scored 29 points in the whole game, but he gave people the feeling that he was everywhere.
Personal offense, assist teammates, defense, and especially defense.
It's so eye-catching. When he is a single opponent with weak explosion-proof power, he can be regarded as a lock-level existence. When he is in charge of defense, he predicts the ball path and pass route, which has repeatedly made the Bulls' positional battle offense mistakes.
What is valuable is that he dares to enter the inside line to fight. Even if he is standing in front of him, he still has a calm attitude.
In the whole game, the Celtics won a 30-point victory to get a good start to the new season.
Louis recorded something.
Bird's defense and Sampson's agility, as well as Archibald's recovery in form.
Especially the latter, it is delusional to return to the peak season without saying that the "elves" state can return to the peak season, but if it can recover a little more in its current state, there will be no blind spots in the Celtics' starting lineup.
With no blind spots in the starting lineup and the top-notch depth, the Celtics are undoubtedly the number one champion favorite this season.
Chapter completed!
