The rest is just noise

Chapter 1361 Childishness

There are hundreds of Lakers and Susan Lucci jokes that could be made.

The former has not been able to win the championship since 1982, while the latter has been accompanying the Morning Emmy Awards for the past 20 years. Just like Doublelift's top 16 in the World Championship every year, it has become a routine and part of the entire culture.

Once this routine is broken, some things will never be the same again.

Even Louis himself once made a joke about the Lakers and Lu Qi, but that was in New York.

Now, he is preparing for the finals very nervously and seriously.

Although the first game was a big victory, at the end of the night, he stayed up late to review the entire game.

He came to a conclusion that reassured him.

The Celtics did not have an advantage in this game, they did not play an effective routine, and they did not expose anything to the Lakers.

The series showdown is a bit like fighting a BOSS to explode gold coins in the game. Whoever explodes more gold coins is more dangerous.

Before meeting the Celtics, the opponent that posed the biggest challenge to the Lakers was the Trail Blazers.

They did play something like the Lakers, but the Celtics couldn't profit from it because their style of play is completely different from that of the Trail Blazers.

In tonight's disastrous defeat, the Celtics couldn't even figure out a few problems because the Lakers played so well.

Louis could also see that the Lakers' state in this game was stronger than in Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals.

What does this mean? Have they evolved? Or are the Celtics just too weak?

Or is this a dumpling ball?

The Celtics were just unlucky to meet the Lakers who had two games in a row?

Louis closed his eyes and brought his memory back to 25 years ago... In the 2014 Finals, the Spurs defeated the Heat's Big Three in a way that refreshed people's understanding, and made the second "decision" in history.

》.

(Good boy, don’t ask me why 25 years ago in 1997 is 2014)

Judging from the process of the finals, the challenge that the Heat brought to the Spurs was not only far inferior to the Mavericks in the first round of the Western Conference, but also inferior to the Thunder that suffered from injuries in the Western Conference finals. It was better but limited than the Trail Blazers in the Western Conference semifinals.

The average hacker would say that this shows that the Heat are only at the mid-level level in the Western Conference playoffs.

But if you seriously consider this issue, it is not difficult to see that the Spurs' state during the entire playoffs can be described as a spiral. Their perfect performance in the finals is more like a successful demonstration of their timely transformation after several years of GDP aging.

.

Is the current situation of the Lakers similar to that of the Spurs?

Louis thinks not.

The main backbone of that Spurs team is the veterans and the Mesozoic generation, while the main backbone of the Lakers is the Mesozoic generation and young emerging players.

Moreover, the transformation of that Spurs team started in 2010 and took four years to 2014.

This Lakers team has had less than two seasons since Louis took over.

They are far from reaching consummation.

However, the opportunity to achieve perfection is uncontrollable.

Just like the 2014 Finals, everyone remembers the defeat in the next three games. However, before the third game, no one could have imagined that the Spurs would suddenly crush the Heat on the ground.

Who still remembers that Heat fans strongly accused the Spurs' home air conditioning of Ganking James after the end of Gane1? They took great pains to explain why the failure of the air conditioning had a greater impact on the Heat than the Spurs, and the two sides also engaged in a fierce war of words.

Then, the Heat pulled one back in the second game, the Spurs lost their home court advantage, and saw the script going the way it did in 2013.

Who would have thought that the direction of the finals would completely deviate from what people expected?

This state of affairs is unpredictable.

Now that the Lakers have played two similar games in a row, it is possible to play a third game.

The next day, Louis slept until he woke up at 8:30 in the morning.

After all calculations, he only slept for four hours.

Although he was extremely trapped, the Sandman still refused to capture him.

He could only get up with strong sleepiness.

Then, he saw Daer and Wang Zhizhi reviewing the recording of last night's game.

"Xiao Wang, aren't you going to have a trial today?"

Wang Zhizhi has been busy lately. Since he confirmed that he will run for office in advance, he has been flying all over the United States.

Although he has a lottery prospect, he will be invited by any team with the top 20 picks in the first round.

"Well, I have a day off today." Wang Zhizhi said with a smile, "Wuxia made a bet with me."

"Oh, what bet?" Louis was not that interested.

But it has become his professional habit to pretend to be interested in the other person's affairs.

Wang Zhizhi said: "We bet that the Lakers can end the finals in a few games."

This is interesting.

Louis asked: "Don't you agree?"

"Yeah," Wuxia said helplessly, "Brother Wang underestimated the Celtics too much. Even if the Celtics were worse, they could at least play five games with the Lakers. They have Ralph and Karl Malone!

"

Wang Zhizhi believes that the Lakers have the strength to end the Finals in five games.

Don't talk about this matter to Lu Wuxia. Lu Wuxia's father doesn't know what to do.

However, even a junior like Wang Zhizhi is so optimistic about the Lakers, so why should he be suspicious?

"Xiao Wang, you still have a lot of trials to prepare for, don't waste your time on such boring things."

At the same time, it is also Louis' professional habit to pretend to be completely indifferent to something when he is obviously very interested in it.

"By the way, what's your bet?"

Wuxia smiled and said: "If I win, Brother Wang will lose half of his first month's salary to me after entering the NBA."

"What if you lose?" Louis asked.

Wu Xia grimaced: "Throughout the summer vacation, I have to complete an hour of fast-paced anaerobic shooting training every day under supervision."

In his previous life, Louis had watched Nash's medium-tempo self-shooting and self-picking aerobic shooting in 20 minutes on a cool website. Although the rhythm was not fast, it was extremely painful to keep running, picking up the ball, and shooting like this. Completely non-stop training.

And what Wu Xia agreed to was actually one hour of fast-paced anaerobic shooting training every day?

Looking at it this way, Wang Zhizhi wouldn't be at a loss if he gambled with half a month's salary.

"How old are you to bet like this?"

"Dad, who do you think will win among us?"

"I think you will all lose." Louis boasted, "We will sweep the Celtics in four games."

Wu Xia stood up directly: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Wang Zhizhi said euphemistically: "I also think...it's quite annoying."

"Then let's bet." Louis said, "If I win, you should pay the salary and the anaerobic shooting should be anaerobic. If I lose, then I will do 30 minutes of anaerobic shooting every day.

Shooting practice, and by the way, I lost half a month’s salary of Xiao Wang.”

"Unfair!" Wuxia protested, "Dad, we were talking about one hour!"

"What nonsense!" Louis snorted, "Your father, I only promise what I can do!"

30 minutes of anaerobic shooting training every day throughout the summer vacation?

Wang Zhizhi took a look at Louis' current figure, and he really felt that half an hour of anaerobic shooting training every day was something Uncle Lu couldn't complete.

But he didn't dare to say...

That's it. Louis didn't really say he was sure of sweeping the Celtics. Anyway, it's just Tu Yile. No one really wants to supervise his half-hour anaerobic shooting training every day, right?

Just kidding, who is he and how can he get so much time to play with children?

But, if Coach Lu wins the bet, then this matter is definitely not in the category of "tu Yile".

In the afternoon, Louis came to the forum, watched the training for a while, and then went upstairs.

In the president's office, Jim Bass talked about his ambitious plan for a national bar brand.

Previously, he took advantage of the attention gained by the team's winning the No. 1 pick at the lottery meeting to promote the prosperous business of "Niu Zi Xuan Xuan", which gave him more ideas.

Louis has been to the pub in Little Bath and it feels like any other pub.

The only selling point might be the Lakers theme and the pornographic store name that makes men smile?

There are still people who can buy a store like this in Los Angeles. It would be strange if he didn't even recognize his father outside of Los Angeles.

However, the compensation was not his money anyway, so what could he say?

"I have a small goal. Within three years, I will open brand stores all over California." Bass Jr. said proudly, "Within five years, I will open brand stores all over the West. Within ten years..."

If this continues, within ten years, his father will go bankrupt and replace Michael Jordan as the world-famous aerialist.

One day, Louis hoped that old Bass would choose a place where there were few people, so as not to splash anyone's blood.

"Sir, my plan will definitely succeed, what do you think?" Little Bas looked over with an earnest look.

Louis, who had nothing to say, could only nod: "Ah...right, right."
