The rest is just noise

Chapter 1554: Expansive Wish

Too eye-catching?

Is he still the same as a magician? Is the old man cursing Wuxia that he will be suppressed by James for the rest of his life and "only" win three championships in his career? In fact, if Wuxia can really develop into a magician, Louis will laugh out of his dreams.

But Louis knew that Auerbach had other ideas.

Being "too eye-catching" is both a good thing and a bad thing for athletes.

Players who attract attention are often popular, which is also Lu Wuxia's advantage.

Although he only played for the Celtics for one year, his popularity in Boston has surpassed Yao Yueban and Gasol, becoming the most popular player in the team.

Everyone seems to like him.

This reminded Louis again of the early magicians.

At that time, Louis was just a scout for the Celtics, traveling around the United States to find good prospects. At the same time, he was also tasked with formulating game plans for the Celtics, so he also had to watch NBA games.

The Lakers team that Louis paid most attention to was naturally in the early stages of its "performance moment."

It can be said without mercy that if you leave out Magic, the Lakers are a strong team that plays boring games.

The Lakers without Magic will play like this in most rounds: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar drops down low, others spread as far as possible, lobs to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and sky hooks.

The skyhook is the most elegant weapon in the history of basketball, but what if it was used every offensive possession? Still elegant, but never fun.

Magic brought a completely different game to that Lakers team.

The no-look passes, acrobatic layups, wide-open defensive counterattacks, and Magic’s sunny smile—all are the opposite of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Louis is not worried that the early awkward relationship between Magic and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar will appear between Wu Xia and Yao Yueban. Because Yao Yueban himself is also one of the easiest giants in history to get along with.

However, Lu Wuxia's charm and attraction will make other teammates feel ignored, which is a hidden danger for the team. But at the moment, this hidden danger is hidden.

Because the young Celtics don't care who is popular, everyone will play hard. The competition for the spotlight will only begin after success, and Louis knows this best. After the game, Louis and Auerbach went to a nearby Chinese restaurant to eat

Got something.

After witnessing the Celtics cheerleading team at home, Auerbach rarely came to watch the game. As an old man who is always busy, his energy is far less than before.

Going back and forth from Washington to Boston is very energy-consuming. Louis also pays great attention to the old man's health. Unless it is a major moment, he will not invite the old man to watch the game live.

Afterwards, Louis' life returned to peace.

To the fans, it was as if he suddenly disappeared. In fact, Louis was not idle at all.

The Celtics' business game has just begun. They achieved good results last season and should make further progress this season.

Louis tried every means to increase the number of businesses and restaurants in the Fleet Center, did everything possible to develop peripheral products for popular players, recorded every memorable day, and sold "precious souvenirs" on the anniversary.

On the other hand, the development and promotion of American-style Upvote and American-style Youku (Buzz) are also in progress simultaneously. Two months ago, the broadcast of "Lost" ushered in an explosive growth in the popularity of Upvote.

Imagine the online influence of those popular suspense dramas in the future. It seems that everyone is digging out the secrets, easter eggs, details, analyzing plots and decrypting the dramas... And this phenomenon, or this unique pursuit of dramas

The method started with "Lost".

The brain-burning plot makes the audience urgently need to expand their social circle and discuss the plot with more people. Upvote provides such a platform.

When Louie asked people to analyze the episode in the "Lost" community, it immediately became the number one Upvote post and attracted tens of thousands of new users to the website in one day. With the popularity of "Lost"

With the popularity of the show, the Upvote community's analysis posts have gained more and more attention. In less than a week, the "Lost" community surpassed the "Animal" community and the "Celtic" community and became the No. 1 Upvote community.

Louis once again took the opportunity to place an appropriate amount of advertising for Celtics peripheral products.

In a subtle way, Louis is expanding the club's reach beyond Boston.

The Celtics' business performance has attracted a lot of attention, and the team's influence is growing day by day. The most intuitive manifestation is that when they play away games, a certain number of out-of-town fans will appear.

This was unimaginable in the past.

Because Boston sports belong to the black community in America.

They have a great basketball team, a baseball team that has been cursed for more than half a century, a football team that ushered in the Chosen One, and an ice hockey team that was in its prime but has expired.

It can be said that this city, which has historically been proud of its culture, has become a city of sports.

It's okay to be a sports city, but it's hated to be a sports city that continues to be successful. Who could hate Cleveland if it's also a sports city?

A successful team also has its fair share of overly enthusiastic, aggressive, and obnoxious fans, creating two immortal slogans on basketball courts and baseball diamonds - "Beat LA" and "Yankee Sk".

These two slogans allowed them to offend the two most influential cities and their media in the American sports world at the same time... Under such circumstances, it would be weird if the image of Boston sports in other places was better.

For a long time, the Celtics' successive managements have only thought about managing their own one-third of an acre of land, and have never thought about spreading their influence to other places.

The main thing is that even if they wanted to do it, there is no feasible way.

Louis took advantage of the rapid development of the Internet and took advantage of the situation. The Celtics' record also gave the team better promotion.

After winning the first six consecutive games, the Celtics faced the first tough nut to crack—the defending champion Knicks.

Benjamin Wilson left with his twelfth championship, and the burden of the Knicks once again fell on McGrady and Hill. On paper, the Knicks are still a very strong team.

Their starting lineup is Tracy McGrady, Hill, (James) Posey, Webber, and Dalembert. Their offense is broad, their defense is strong, and their talent is overflowing.

However, the Celtics also have a strong lineup, starting with Parker, Lu Wuxia, Kirilenko, Gasol and Yao Yueban, and Ginobili and Wade are also sitting off the court.

In this game, Parker was sanctioned in the first year of legalizing zone defense.

The Knicks' suffocating zone defense left Parker unable to find a way. When Bird made way for Wuxia to play the one position, the situation on the court instantly reversed. Lu Wuxia's organization freed Yao Yueban, and the cooperation with Gasol was like art.

Tom Heinsohn praised this very much: "Many people say that fans who have not watched the 2000 Lakers play are not real basketball fans, but what I want to tell you is that even if that Lakers team was that good,

They have only existed for one year. The cooperation between ish and Paul will last for ten years. You can watch their games, cleanse your soul and feel the beauty of basketball!"

Wade began to stand out as a tough guy on the bench.

Last season, Wade had a sluggish rookie season. Even if his level stops here, no one would say that he is a parallel import. However, compared to his rookie year, Wade's personal abilities have made a leap forward.

ωωw..net

Originally, he was only qualified as a starter. Now, he is completely at the level of an All-Star. As a substitute, he averaged 22 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists per game. He is second in the team in scoring, second only to Yao Yueban, who leads the team in scoring.

.

The rise of Wade has further dispersed the Celtics' ball rights, and Parker's data has regressed significantly, currently averaging only 11 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists per game. Lu Wuxia has maintained the data of his rookie season, but the difference is that he is more efficient.

Gasol was completely alienated.

Due to the changes in the team, he developed a completely different style of play from what Louis knew. Gasol became the dealer at the top of the key and the fulcrum of the free throw line.

He basically has no tactics to end the tactics, because many tactics are initiated and transitioned through him. In this case, Gasol averaged 15 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists per game.

The Celtics' talent shone brightly and they overwhelmed the Knicks in a surprising way. They scored 134 points in the regular season and defeated the defending champion by a huge margin.

Lu Wuxia, who was elected the best player in the game with 24 points, 8 rebounds and 12 assists, accepted a live interview with ABC.

"ish, congratulations on your victory. As your record ranks first in the league, more and more people think that you have surpassed LBJ in all aspects. Some people even think that you should not be compared together. Do you have any opinions on this?

Any ideas?"

"Isn't it obvious? I won completely~~" Wuxia knew very well how to deal with reporters, "I don't take Darko, LBJ, Chris Bosh... seriously at all. I really need to take them seriously.

There is only one student in the same grade, and that is D-ade."

"Uh...what about Carmelo Anthony?"

Lu Wuxia blinked innocently: "Carmelo Anthony? Is there such a person in the NBA?"

"I'm sorry, I remembered. I don't even care about Cameron. Isn't he just the little follower hiding behind Steve Nash? It's ridiculous, I don't care at all."

On the same day, Carmelo Anthony declared war on Lu Wuxia through the media: "This man has completely swollen. I must teach him a lesson on behalf of all the good brothers in the class of 2003!"
