Chapter 267 The Tragic Master
The atmosphere in Boston Garden had never been more suffocating for Louie.
It was as hot as being in a stove, mixed with an unpleasant smell, and the consequence of lack of ventilation was to make the environment here worse and worse.
After Kareem Abdul-Jabbar went down in the first quarter, he even inhaled oxygen on the sidelines, and he seemed to have some adverse reactions.
"When you see Kareem off the court, you know the Lakers will never conquer the Garden."
Tom Heinsohn said confidently.
On the court, the Lakers hope to play a decent game when Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is off the court.
The Magician is facing Maxwell, and his offensive desire is not low, but the Celtics' pocket formation is in place, and they can basically prevent him from hitting the ball every time.
Although he was surrounded by malicious fans, he still delivered a wonderful goal with his trademark one-handed juggling pass without looking at people.
The moment Wilkins got the ball, he flew into the air and dunked with a flat basket.
18 is better than 24
The Lakers trailed by 6 points. In the worst away game in the league, it was also a life-and-death battle that related to the future of the team and the fate of the season. No one could find the touch immediately.
They were overwhelmed by the Celtics, and Wilkins' ball somewhat released their depression.
Just, is this enough?
Maxwell's venomous mouth never stopped. He sprayed the magician with a sentence that broke the defense of the parties involved: "Magician, what about your magic? Is it just passing the ball? This is not magic in my eyes. If your magic is juggling like a street player and cannot help the team at critical moments, I think you should stop calling it Magic and change it to Tragic."
People all over the world like to play homophonic memes.
In the 2019 Men's Basketball World Cup, there was a "Nan Ci Qi Qi blame". Maxwell's mockery of the magician was submerged in the history of the NBA, and not many people know it.
He is no less than Bird in terms of the level of trash talking.
It's just that he doesn't have as many pretentious success stories as Bird, and he doesn't start and end in Boston like other Celtics legends.
Maxwell's trash talk made the magician furious, and he glared at the foul-mouthed Kaizi, wanting to say something to refute.
But he didn't say it, and even he didn't know what to say.
Maybe it's better not to say anything, before he proves himself with actual actions, talking more will only make more mistakes.
Wilkins' dunk waited until the Celtics responded.
Thomas holds the ball from the outside, singles Dennis Johnson, changes direction at a fast pace, tears apart the defense sharply, and makes an emergency stop jumper at the free throw line at a speed that exceeds a grade.
Louie blew the whistle, and the Celtics' chances of winning were skyrocketing.
However, he believes that the strength of this team has not been fully utilized.
They have indeed entered the best condition, but the current performance of the Lakers, it is impossible to force out the full potential of the Celtics.
Among the Big Three, Bird played the best, followed by Sampson. Thomas averaged nearly 20+10 assists per game. No one in the Lakers was sure to guard him.
Thomas is a man who hits the alarm button in a life-or-death situation.
Once he does that, he becomes an unstoppable offensive player.
But the Lakers haven't pushed him to that point yet. How strong Thomas is is still a mystery.
"Aside from some of his shortcomings, this guy is actually not bad?" Louis didn't expect him to say that.
Tomjanovich asked back: "Isaiah has always been good?"
It's very good, the filter in Louis's eyes is too heavy, it is difficult for him to look at Thomas with a normal heart.In his view, Thomas is the most unstable factor in this team.
If it wasn't for Sampson's living chicken soup for the soul before him, maybe he would still lose his temper.
But, can this temperament be suppressed for a while, can it be suppressed for a lifetime?
Louis is not optimistic, but he can't control the future.
It is estimated that by the time Thomas explodes, he will no longer be with the Celtics.
Leave one of those thorny issues to his successor.
Enraged by Maxwell's trash talk, Magic drove in angrily for a layup.
Sampson hat refused.
Wilkins has the ball and is ready to attack the rim. He is an aggressive post attacker and the most fearless Celtics player on the Lakers right now.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar may be the second person on the Lakers who doesn't know how to write words, but his impact is far less than Wilkins.
Wilkins tried to dunk again, but was knocked down by Lambiel's rough foul.
In an instant, the game had the potential to evolve into a firefight between the players.
Wilkins got up and wanted to settle the score with Lambiel. The two sides were at war and greeted each other with words starting with F.
The magician still maintains the style of a general, pulling people away and calming conflicts.
Although Lambiel also had teammates to appease him, his temper was as violent as a powder keg: "As long as I am still on the court, you don't even want to score at the basket!"
"That's over." Sampson was dumbfounded.
Lambiel whispered: "If you lose, you don't lose. You must be ruthless when you speak like this."
After Lambiel and Sampson explained, they continued to speak harshly.
"With him here, don't even think about going in and scoring?" Louis suspected that he had misheard. How dare he say this about Lambiel's air defense capability?
Lambiel looks like a bandit, but in fact he is thick and thin.
He knew that when he said that, Wilkins would definitely get angry.
There is only one result of getting angry, which is to increase the frequency of attacks on the restricted area.
Lambiel is definitely unable to defend, but as long as he increases the frequency of attacking the penalty area, Sampson's defense can play a role.Because Wilkins is a black hole in possession of the ball, as the player with the highest offensive certainty for the Lakers, if he gets the upper hand, will the game still be played?
This is the real purpose of Lambiel to provoke him.
He wants to intimidate Wilkins, but also make the opponent lose his basic judgment, and create an advantage for the team as much as possible.
The magician has clearly been distracted by his own demons.
His performance is not to mention compared with Bird, but it is slightly inferior to that of his teammate Dennis Johnson.
The offense is weak, and the defense is a sinkhole. If it's just dribbling the ball across the half and passing the ball, how could Jerry Buss offer him that amazing contract?
Before the end of the first quarter, Wilkins was deflated.
Lambiel was called a foul twice when he brought him down. He was angry and anxious. He was blocked by Sampson's help defense twice and interfered with multiple shots. After one quarter, his personal shooting percentage was below 30%, which was terrible.
Abdul-Jabbar has serious health problems.
He suffered from migraines, and the harsh environment of the garden forced him to rely on an oxygen mask to inhale oxygen to recover his strength. Dennis Johnson is a top defender and a first-class ball handler, but he is destined to be a 2D since the day he was teammates with Magic.
Defense and catch-and-shoot are his main job.
Neither Rambis nor McAdoo is someone who can turn the situation around.
Before Kareem Abdul-Jabbar returns to the game, the Lakers really can only look at Magic and Wilkins.
Wilkins is subject to experience, it is difficult to get cheap.
The magician seems to be possessed, and he doesn't know how to play the game.
Bird came to the basket, received the ball against McAdoo's body, turned around and hit the basket hard.He is too courageous, and it is inevitable to be blocked in this way. He believes that the referee will call a foul because he is careful when shooting.
As long as he is hated, he must be a thug.
Sure enough, the referee whistled, and Bird walked to the free throw line calmly.
Louis suspects that if Wilkins' physical fitness is given to him, the earth people will not be able to stop him, and he will have to be launched into outer space with a rocket satellite to fight aliens.
With a smug expression on his face, Bird made two free throws.
The Magic passed the ball to Marcus Johnson.
He stood on the sidelines to watch the show, and Dazi made a jumper with an emergency stop, which stopped the bleeding for the Lakers.
Now the magician is not just a tragedian in Maxwell's mouth, but also a tragic hero in a literary film who is powerless to the status quo.
⑴Based on Green Kai's standards, Maxwell's achievements are definitely enough to return his jersey.But it has never been returned, and it is almost impossible to return his jersey until Ainge's generation retires.He signed a big contract in the summer of 1984, then drifted away in the offseason, injured himself and dragged it to the new season. He carried negative energy throughout the 1984-85 season. In the end, the bishop tied a first-round pick like garbage, and he threw it to the Clippers in exchange for Bill Walton, who can play or not.Maxwell retired within a few years. Ironically, that first-round pick ended up in the hands of the Blazers, who used this first-round pick to select Sabonis. In 2002, the Celtics changed to a new owner and wanted to retire a jersey to be happy. They chose Maxwell, but Auerbach sternly opposed it, so they gave up.
