the rest, only noise

Chapter 135 Metaphors for Ghosts
Some bubbles cannot be burst.

Lambiel quickly caught Louie's terrifying eyes.

He wanted to take back his words, but it was too late.

"Get out and keep shooting your three-pointers!" Louie yelled, "4000 three-pointers! Don't even think about going home until you finish shooting today!"

Lambiel blushed: "You're avenging yourself!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Louis sneered, "Is there anyone in this room who doesn't know that I am avenging myself?"

Lambiel couldn't explain why, and left aggrieved.

After he left, Louis pretended nothing happened and smiled brightly: "Where did we just talk?"

※※※

On the first day of the preseason training camp, Louis introduced his coaching philosophy to the players, and he drew a wonderful blueprint.

He made everyone believe that under the new system, the Celtics will play a completely different style from the past.

In the evening, the players were almost done walking.

Only Lambiel was left to shoot a [-]-pointer, and the unfortunate Guy Williams was forced to stay on as a caddy.

Louie stayed in his office, rereading articles by Vladimir Kondrashin, the former Soviet men's basketball coach.

For the first time, he felt that basketball is also a routine that repeats itself.

The technique can be refined, and the physical fitness will become stronger and stronger, but the routines are still those routines.

"Fast break has become the real master of the court, and the offense has become more diversified and effective. This is not only reflected in the obvious increase of shooters in each team, but also that they shoot without stopping as soon as they get the ball, and they shoot at 7-8 meters. This also shows that in modern basketball, the shooting area has expanded. Secondly, the center's offensive range has been significantly expanded. Even some tall centers with a height of 2.06-2.10 meters often attack from the outside."

This is the summary made by Kondrashin after the 1974 World Championships.

Coaches with this kind of vision and insight can achieve success no matter what era they are in.

Moreover, this is the summary after he led the team to participate in the competition, which shows that many teams have gone out of this style.

The lights in Louie's office are always on, and the only noise he can hear is the sound of Lambiel throwing a ball.

The sound faded away, and he guessed that Lambiel had sneaked home.

Originally, he didn't expect Lambiel to really shoot 4000 balls, and he dared to sneak home to show that Lambiel had used his brain, "What can Louis do about him?" Therefore, Louis was very relieved.

Louis didn't expect that there were still people in the Greek Academy who came to him directly.

Doesn't anyone really want to play for him?
"Come in," Louis said.

The door opened, and in came Ralph Sampson.

Now his weight has reached 116 kilograms. Compared with the slender figure who just entered the league, his flesh is hanging. This weight is very suitable for him. Although it is difficult to defend against some ferocious low-level monsters, his weight is not suitable for rising in the short term.

If it goes up again, mobility and athleticism will decrease, and the risk of injury will increase.

"Did Bill run away?" Louie asked.

Sampson laughed: "You don't really believe he's going to throw 4000 pitches and go home?"

"This vile dog, I will fix him up tomorrow." Louis made a very angry look on the surface.

Sampson is the most reassuring one for Louis. Apart from John Lang, he has the best relationship with Louis in the Celtics team.

"It's getting late now, aren't you going home?" Sampson was a little out of words.

Louis smiled and said, "Ralph, there's no need to be so polite between us, just say what you want."

"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point."

You don't really want to play for me, do you?No way?
Louis looked up, only to hear Sampson say: "I listened carefully to what you said in the video room today. If I remember correctly, we will have four new offensive systems. The tactical core of the No. [-] system is Larry and Isiah; the core of the No. [-] system is Larry; the core of the No. [-] system is Isiah; the core of the No. [-] system is Larry."

"The notes are good," Louis smiled. "Any thoughts?"

"Have."

Sampson asked seriously: "Why is there no offensive system dominated by me?"

If Sampson didn't come to ask himself, Louis would be surprised instead.

It is best for him to ask directly, which means that he is just puzzled, not angry or angry, and has no grudges in his heart.

"It's a long topic, sit down, let's talk slowly." Louis called, "Old Zhou, according to the amount I usually eat, the dishes are still the same, and I will serve two people."

"I'm not hungry, and I'll go when I figure it out," Sampson said.

"It's been a long time since I said this. Although you are not hungry, I am. If you get hungry again later, are you going to put your hand into my plate again?"

Louis also likes to steal other people's food, but he has a serious food protection habit. He only allows himself to steal other people's food, and does not allow others to steal his own.

Thinking of stealing Louie's dumplings before, Sampson smiled awkwardly.

"If I say that the lack of an offensive system that belongs to you is entirely due to your ability, can you accept it?"

Every superstar has a competitive nature. If you say he is not as good as someone else, he may be humble on the surface, and he may not know how to greet your family in his heart.

If it is between friends, they will reveal their true nature on the spot.

"Why am I not as good as Larry and Isiah?"

"Calm down."

"I'm talking about ability, not that you are inferior to Larry and Isiah." Louis made an analogy, "Just like I have never been tough on Marilyn Monroe, it doesn't mean she is not good-looking, but her coquettish appearance does not arouse my interest, understand?"

Sampson said blankly: "I don't understand, Marilyn is so sexy, how dare you say you don't have feelings for her?"

"Including Audrey Hepburn, I have never found her beauty." Louis laughed.

Sampson felt that he was digressing: "It's two different things, isn't it?"

"It's one thing."

"If I'm going to make a tertiary film, and you pull 20-year-old Jane Fonda, Marilyn Monroe, and Audrey Hepburn into my crew, who do you think I'm going to make them undress first?"

Sampson was silent, he knew that Louis was comparing.

"If I had a choice, I would choose to let Ms. Fonda let us see it first, but the market will definitely force me to let Marilyn take off first." Louie pointed out, "In any case, the person who takes off first will not be Hepburn, because she is not suitable for third/level films at all."

"Are you saying I'm not a good fit?" Sampson asked.

"Attention, I'm making an analogy." Louie laughed, "If Hepburn is the only one I choose, of course I will try my best to arrange a wonderful third-level/movie according to her style, but now I have Fonda and Monroe, and they are more suitable than Hepburn. A good movie must focus on the key points, and the same is true for a ball game. I don't give Hepburn a chance, but it doesn't mean that she is not capable."

Louis used something completely unrelated to basketball to let Sampson understand his thoughts.

"However, I don't want to just be a supporting role." Sampson understood it, but it was hard to accept.

Louis asked back, "Did I ever tell you to play a supporting role?"

Sampson was brought up to be great.

His position is center, the position with the most superstars in NBA history. He was compared with Russell, Chamberlain and Kareem when he was in college.

But after three years in the league, he has stagnated a bit.

A substitute for three consecutive seasons, no best team, although there are All-Stars and second defenses, this is not what the public expects of him.

I thought that Louis becoming a coach would aggravate his tactical status, but he was disappointed.

Although Louis's reasons convinced him, he was Hepburn in the eyes of the other party, while Bird and Thomas were Fonda and Monroe.

It's easier to build an offense around them.

What makes Sampson unwilling is that he can be the core of the offense in most teams, but not in the Celtics.

Louis saw through his little thoughts, took out his notebook, turned to one of the pages, and put the notebook in front of Sampson.

"You are the second person to see this besides me now."

Sampson found that the starting lineup, second lineup, connecting lineup, fighting lineup, big lineup, and small lineup set by Louis were too detailed, and the playing time of each player was marked.

First position: Isiah Thomas (32 minutes), Gerald Henderson (10 minutes), John Paxson (6 minutes)

Second position: John Long (26 minutes), Danny Ainge (22 minutes), ML Carr (5 minutes)

Three: Larry Bird (25 minutes), Cedric Maxwell (20 minutes)

Four: Larry Bird (15 minutes), Ralph Sampson (20 minutes), Cedric Maxwell (10 minutes)

Fifth position: Bill Lambiel (35 minutes), Ralph Sampson (13 minutes).

(PS: The playing time is not strictly based on the time of each position, individual players will take time from other positions to give him)
There was not even a match between the official players, and Louis had already allocated all his playing time.

Moreover, the lineups at each stage have already been determined.

"Although I didn't ask you to support an offensive system alone, you should have noticed that no matter which offensive system you want to play, you are the most important male number two or male number three."

Louie said: "You can shoot from outside the free throw line and can aggressively threaten the opponent's penalty area. Next to Larry and Isiah, I need you to be a deadly cuter and improve the quality of your pick-and-roll coverage as much as possible.

"Why do you have to dominate the offense? Ralph, Bill Russell is known as the ultimate winner because he won 13 rings in his 11-year career. Dividing that number by two and dividing by two is still more than the greatest offensive player in history. Wilt Chamberlain." Louie hopes his words will enter Sampson's heart. "In order to make the team play a better game, Russell's shots are ranked fifth and sixth in the team all year round. It is his sacrifice that brought the Celtics dynasty."

"You said you wanted to revolutionize the game, and that's how you revolutionized it. You can be a player who doesn't need the ball to dominate the game, and you're a lot taller than Russell."

Sampson was silent for a long time.

"Well, have you figured it out?" Louis asked.

Sampson replied, not so firmly, "I'll try."

"It's a good start."

"Why hasn't your supper been delivered yet?"

"I also want to know."
