the rest, only noise

Chapter 134 The Kind, Chic, and Kind Head Coach
"QNMD!"

Bird yelled a foul remark at his head coach.

Louis said helplessly: "For example, this is you."

"That's not me!" Bird said angrily.

"Yeah," Sampson said comically, "no nose."

Byrd corrected him angrily: "It's not fucking like anywhere!"

"Does it matter? Larry, if you're as handsome as John Travolta, I'd be insulting you by drawing you like that, but you're not handsome, so you shouldn't be offended," Louie laughed. "No excuse, Larry."

"QNMD!"

"Are all the bumpkins from Frankrick Town so uneducated?"

"QNMD!"

"That's all you fucking know, right?"

"QNMD!"

"Okay!" interrupted KC Jones, "this man is not Larry."

"Is that what he drew called people?" Byrd couldn't bear it.

KC couldn't help but said with a smile: "Can we hurry up and talk about business, don't care what this is?"

"How can you be in the mood to talk about serious business with this pig's head?"

Under Bird's strong request, Louis had no choice but to erase the pig's head that had been drawn so hard.

This is the highest masterpiece of his two lifetimes in terms of painting. It is really sad that he erased it because the head player didn't like it.

"Since you feel that the face I painted doesn't fit your image, I will accept your criticism. This time you take care of it, and I will draw it according to your face."

Next, Louie drew Bird's face in the image of an owl.

"Look, Larry." Louis pointed to his favorite work, "How much like you is this plain but supercilious face."

"@%#￥...&"

The atmosphere in the video room became like watching a comedy.

"Chinaman, what are you doing..."

Byrd nearly ran away.

"You've corrected me once, and I've corrected my mistakes, and I think my drawing is pretty good, does anyone disagree?" Louie asked loudly.

Isiah Thomas yelled, "No!"

"Coach, you are amazing!"

"The contemporary Picasso is you, Coach Lu!"

"It can't be said that it's not like it. There is still a hint of Larry's arrogance between the brows."

Bird was furious: "Fuck you!"

"Take a break," Louis said with a smile, "You have too many mothers to 'arrange', take your time."

Louis pointed to the owl's big face on the tactical board, "The next thing I want to talk about is our second tactical system, this is Larry (ignoring Bird's complaints)."

"What I want to say is that under this tactical system, Isiah will not be on the court, because your three-pointers are the most rubbish of any defender I have ever seen."

Thomas's smile faded again and again.

Louie's words are exaggerated and untrue. Although Thomas' three-point accuracy is mediocre, he has taken shots since his rookie season, with a 28% shooting rate, and he maintained this level last season.A pitcher who can shoot but isn't sure.

"Under this system, Larry mainly plays the four position."

"Larry, you have to be the core player, control the ball, and guide the offense. For this, you must memorize all the 36 tactics of the 'L' series."

"To partner with Larry, you must be a guard who can shoot three-pointers, a forward with excellent athletic ability, and an insider who can quickly cut and pull to a high position or even shoot outside the three-point line."

"With Larry as the core, the 'L' tactics are immediately launched at a high position." Louie said ambitiously, "I believe that these two systems can handle more than 95% of the teams."

The second offensive system is not as complicated as the first one. To put it simply, Bird becomes Jokic of the Celtics.

It's just that his offensive weight is greater and his off-ball threat is stronger.

So Jokic cannot be used completely.

For Louis, Bird under the second system is 40% Nowitzki (threat with the ball), 30% Curry (threat without the ball), and 30% Jokic (high position instigation).

do you know?The scary thing is that this description is not enough to let you see the whole picture of Byrd.

Although he can't run fast or jump high, he was actually selected to the best defensive team twice.

In other words, with the addition of his above advantages, and a defensive ability that can go two-forward and two-defense, it is possible to see Bird's true colors.

Therefore, in both systems, he is the core.It's just that the first system is to assist the heavier pick-and-roll and screeners, the outside catch-and-shoot end point and the secondary organizer.

The second system is based on Bird, using his ability to get everyone involved.This is the same as Louis' hole card, letting Bird play in the low position.

It's just that both of these can make use of Bird's personal ability. In the high position, he can drive his teammates, and in the low position, he can destroy the opponent.

This is the benefit of the all-around player.

He can find a place in any system.

In terms of compatibility alone, he and Durant are all-match players at the Presidential Hill level in NBA history.

"Larry, do you have a question?" Louie asked.

What's wrong with Byrd?Louis spoke contemptuously of him, often disrespected him, and angered him with nicknames similar to "Hillbilly", which were not very hurtful or insulting, but the other party recognized his strength.

The system was built entirely for him alone.

Even, all the tactics of the "L" series need him to join in order to work perfectly.

Bird suspected that it was his presence that led Louis to devise the "L" tactic.

The "L" tactics appeared as early as Louie's first year as an assistant coach.

Explain that Louis has been preparing for today since then.

what a deliberate asshole
"My only problem is that bad face on the tactical board!" Bird pointed. "Now that you're done, how about you wipe it off?"

"Don't you really think this face is quite similar to yours?"

Byrd's curse mouth was about to come out when Louis wiped the tactical board clean.

"You may be a little tired, but it's not over yet."

"The next one I'm going to introduce, you all know, but few coaches use it in the NBA." Louie drew one of the most famous plays in basketball history.

"Is this a four-corner offense?" Bird asked.

"Yes."

The four-corner offense originated from Dean Smith of the University of North Carolina.

Standing is very simple.

The point guard dribbles in the middle, and the other players pull away from the left and right bottom corners and left and right 45-degree angles.Since this tactic came out, there was no three-point line in basketball games, so Smith often deployed guards to play this tactic, and the other four would see each other.

The reason so few NBA coaches use this tactic on the court is that before the three-point line, all teams' defenses are focused on the paint.

If you pull people apart, they will choose to keep a distance from the opponent to control the penalty area.

If you choose long shots, it is considered a successful defense for them.

In the era of the three-point line, especially decades later, if the four people who are drawn apart are all shooters who can score three-pointers, it will be cool for players like James.

The space that the three-point line can bring is unpredictable for coaches in the two-point era.

"Isaiah, if Larry isn't on the court, or if our tactics aren't working well, I allow you to play by ear and launch this reserved tactic to break the deadlock."

With Thomas' ball-holding impact, this is indeed a tactic that can maximize his power.

Dave Cowens nodded in approval: "It's a good idea, but the tactical line drawing is a bit ugly."

"Don't expose him," KC said.

"He doesn't know?" Cowens asked in surprise.

KC laughed and said: "He knew we were lying to him at the beginning, but he was too lazy to delve into this impractical technique. After a while, he must have successfully hypnotized himself. He believed that the tactics he drew were the most beautiful in the world."

"The tactical line is like the coach's career line. It's so ugly, Coach Lu's future is worrying." Cowens frowned.

"Finally, let's imagine a situation—both system No. [-] and system No. [-] are ineffective. We can't play beautiful tactical offenses, and we don't cooperate well. We need to score at critical moments. What should we do? One-on-one, this is a choice, but I think using individual abilities to go one-on-one is a desperate choice. At this time, we still need to maintain integrity and discipline."

Louis highlighted the middle waist on the left and right sides.

"We have completed this kind of offense in the playoffs, and it is this kind of offense that brought us Game4 victory."

"Larry, once the game is like what I'm talking about, I'm going to put you in these two positions to catch the ball."

The players already understand this offensive system.

In this meeting, Louis described his philosophy in detail, and very straightforwardly determined the core and second masters of the team.

Bird is undoubtedly the No. [-] core, with four offensive systems, he has two as the core and one as the No. [-] core.

Followed by Thomas, he dominates the No. [-] offensive system and has a set of offensive tactics that belong to him and do not require Bird's participation.

In terms of tactical status, Bird is obviously the highest, but Thomas will not be angry about this, because Louis' arrangement is very reasonable and fair.

Other players think hard, they memorize these four offensive systems, and figure out where they are in each of the four systems.

"Next, I will send you a copy of the L tactical manual. Please memorize the tactics you need to memorize according to the location you remember. Larry, you have to write them all down."

"In a few days, I will launch another set of tactics." Louis freed his hands and stopped drawing tactics. "I am different from Coach Fitch, and I think you can see it. I accept your criticism, including the insults from some low-quality country bumpkins, because I may have offended him to a certain extent."

Byrd's mouth twitched angrily.

"If you have new ideas about tactics, welcome to communicate with me. If you feel that any tactics are not suitable for you, or make you uncomfortable on the field, you can also give me feedback in time." Louis hopes that in the eyes of the players, he is a kind, unrestrained, and kind head coach. "I think you have already seen this when you saw some unqualified countrymen insulting me continuously, but I didn't respond."

Just as Byrd was about to have a seizure, Lambiel appeared, "You guys are here, I'm exhausted."

"3000 [-]s?" Louie asked.

"The donkeys of the production team have to rest. Besides, I'm the main force. You guys are studying how to play in the new season. Can I not participate?"

As Lambiel said, seeing the rough and ugly lines on the tactical board, he immediately shouted: "Who is scribbling on the tactical board, do you have any quality?"
