Chapter 76 The conceited bastard

Things went beyond Louis' expectations.

After Andrew Tony came on the court, Louis thought the 76ers would fight the Celtics at mid-range.

As a result, he underestimated 76 people.

No, he underestimated Tony's determination.

Although he is just a rookie, he was regarded by the 76ers super scout Jack McMahon as the last puzzle (attack ability) that can make up for the team's biggest shortcomings.

When Tony was in college, Louis followed him, and he knew that this person was definitely not a person in the pool.

After 76 people went there, it was like meeting the Tyrannosaurus who wanted to directly reach the top of the alliance.

His pride and self-esteem are like superstars, so he is not afraid of the Celtic pocket array, at least not as afraid as Dr. J.

Instead of breaking down the Celtics' pocket lineup according to the known and most effective mid-range shots, he used extreme assault inside strategies to create killing.

The Celtics' pocket array is already very mature, and they can capture opponents almost every time they open their pockets.

Tony doesn't believe this evil.

He dribbled in several times in the last few minutes of the first quarter, causing three fouls and making five of six free throws from the free throw line.

Louis found that even the 76ers coach Cningham was very unaware of Tony's choice.

He yelled at least three times: "What the hell are you doing?"

Then he accepted his fate.

Cunningham himself is a player, and he knows under what circumstances the players will be based on their own temperament. Anyway, it is only the first game of the series, so it is not impossible to let Tony try out how strong the Celtics' pocket array is.

It was Tony's brave charge that changed the 76ers' way of playing.

Sensoryly, they are even more fierce.

Tony sprinted harder against the inside, while Bird found a touch at the high position.

After one quarter, the Celtics took the lead.

24 to 21

The advantage of 3 points is better than nothing.

"Larry!" Before the second quarter began, Louis made three fingers.

He hopes Bird will activate the third tactic of the "L" series more.

The No. 3 tactic focuses on the space guidance of inside players, requiring the inside to be able to catch the ball and shoot in the high position after pick-and-roll, in order to pull the opponent's inside.

In the second quarter, the two inside players of the Celtics were Ranbill and Sampson, who happened to be able to shoot.

Sampson's pick-and-roll quality is a bit poorer, but his offensive creativity is unlimited;

The quality of Ranbill's pick-and-roll screens is not to be said, and there is also a shooting threat that is slowly expanding its range. It can be regarded as the best tool for this tactic.

Sure enough, as soon as he came up, Ranbir scored for the team with a high shot.

But the Sixers were not vague, and "Saints" Bobby Jones pulled to the high position on the left and made a shot.

Fitch's strategy is very extreme. As long as the 76ers are thinking about shooting, they will let them do it. Although Louis reminds Sampson to pay attention to his opponent's high-level shooting, he often has no skills and is difficult to take care of.

Fortunately, the 76ers have not placed the offense in a large number of places at mid-range, otherwise the Celtics' defense will be difficult.

Influenced by Tony, the 76ers team seemed to have a temper, that is, they must play inside.

The strategic intention of the Celtics' pocket array is very clear, and they must firmly defend against the offensive in the penalty area. Tony's move is to defeat the Celtics' fighting spirit and let them understand that the pocket array does not work for the 76ers.

He dribbled in with murderous intent.

M.L. Carl's defense is already very forward and has frequent physical contact with him enough, but he just can't stop Tony from pushing forward.

Tony dribbled in front of Sampson and actually made a jump shot in person.

Seeing the range of the move, Sampson should have seriously interfered with his shot, but the ball fell into the basket smoothly.

"What a tricky bastard!" Fitch cursed.

"Bill, maybe we can adjust the tactics." Since Tony is so bloody, Louis naturally wants to cause him some trouble.

Fitch knew that Louis had many ideas, so he took the initiative to ask, "If you have any ideas, please tell me!"

"Our opponent looks very energetic." Louis smiled and saw Tony break through and pass the ball Dr. J.

Tony's sudden split this time was quite sharp and completely created space.

Dr. J flew in the sky with the ball, Sampson jumped too late, and was treated as a background and dunked on his head.

Louis brought the tactical board.

"If they insist on letting Tony play like this, we should change someone to play against him." Louis already has a candidate, "Let Randy go, his body is strong enough to fight against the other side, and let the mangy dog ​​deal with the elegant Doctor, maybe it is more appropriate."

Fitch listened carefully.

"Since they have made up their minds to challenge our pocket array, we might as well make a 'small pocket' outside the pocket array." Louis pointed to Tony's man, Doctor's man, and a Celtic player closest to the small pocket.

Fitch never thought that there would be such a change in the pocket array. He was a little doubtful: "Who has the ability to move so quickly? Larry?"

"That country bumpkin is unreliable," Louis said contemptuously, "of course it's Ralph!"

Fitch said worriedly: "He has been playing for a long time, and I am about to replace him and rest."

"No, no, he is in good condition," Louis explained. "If there is no 'little pocket', Andrew and the Doctor's impact will put more pressure on our pocket array."

The Celtics' inside line was broken one after another. Andrew Tony was too brave. He was really unreasonable. He would either pull you in person or hit you with his body to create damage. It was simply a life-threatening breakthrough.

Fitch hesitated until the 76ers tied the score, and finally gritted his teeth and shouted: "Just do it!"

Louis sighed, this old boy really won't hit the wall and look back.

The Celtic requested a pause.

On the back line, Henderson was replaced and Randy Smith was replaced.

The classic and rebellious point guard lineup of Wuzhu has made another debut in the playoffs.

"Randy Smith is an excellent defender. His appearance will bring higher strength to the Celtics' defense, but in this way, we will not have a No. 1 position." Johnny Most wanted to give up, "But there is no need to worry, the Celtics have never played games without No. 1 position. Many years ago, we let the great K.C Jones play a point guard for a year and still win the championship. Who can believe that K.C was once the No. 1 position of the championship team?"

K.C off the field blushed when he heard it.

Louis smiled and said, "You still have this history!"

"Not worth mentioning! Not worth mentioning!" Good guy, Versailles got up.

Fitch copied it to the players according to the design of the small pocket proposed by Louis, asking them to give up Maurice Chicks when Tony broke through and put a small pocket on the edge of the paint area as soon as possible.

"Is it too short?" Carl had doubts, "Is it too late?"

Fitch shouted: "It's just the execution!"

After Fitch made a decision, everyone had no doubts and implemented the strategy to the end.

Bird made another jump shot, winning the team back to the lead.

When the defensive round came, the entire Celtic team cheered up.

Andrew Tony looked disdainful. Seeing Randy Smith, he spoke loudly: "You old guy, dare you come and guard me?"

His pride, his arrogance, his courage and his toughness that he does not take anyone seriously have fascinated Louis more than once.

Including tonight.

But the reason why Louis was fascinated by this tonight was simple, Tony's ego would bring the 76ers into the quagmire.

As the only key point for the 76ers, he chose to fight with the pocket array so rashly, and in the end he could only ask for trouble.

Tony's explosive power is something that all scouts underestimated.

Only Louis and McMahon discovered that he had the ability to tear everyone's defense one-on-one in the league.

Smith was still no match for him and was instantly torn through the defense.

"Well!" Fitch yelled.

Just as Tony was about to break into the paint area, he suddenly found a giant beast in front of him had already opened his hands.

Behind him, Smith was in his place, beside him, the mad dog-like Carl had already rushed to him, and his amazing small pocket was formed.

He hurriedly collected the ball, Smith put pressure from behind, Sampson saw it correctly, and took the ball to complete the steal.

Most said poetically: "The roars of the audience reminded Tony that the battle was over and he would watch his team enter the abyss of failure. At that time, he looked confused and didn't know what was going on. He shouted: Why?"

"Hey, Andrew!" Louis asked, "Can you break this pocket?"

Based on his knowledge of Tony, his answer was yes.

Tony had a gloomy face, and his tone poured out his pride: "You guys wait for me!"

"A conceited bastard!" Fitch cursed.

"But he's funny, isn't he?" Louis still admires Tony.

If Tony can join the Celtics, he is of course an interesting bastard, but if such a person is a substitute for the 76ers, Fitch wouldn't find it interesting at all.

He was really sorry that Tony could have joined the Celtics, and Louis proposed to trade the top seven picks at the briefing to ensure he could get Tony, but it was not adopted.

So, 76 people took the lead.

Tony's excellence, like Chicks, is just once again a case of how tricky Louis's vision is against the Celtics.

When Andrew Tony dribbled the ball into their small pocket again, Fitch laughed.

As Louis said, this slut is indeed very interesting.
