The rest is just noise

Louis did not comfort Wu Xia because he felt that Wu Xia failed to stand up and take responsibility for the Celtics' series of implosions.

Of course, this is only his third year and he is still very young, but he is already the boss of the team, and both Yao Yueban and Gasol are willing to help him.

Compared with Garnett and Kobe before, compared with Sampson and Manning in 1996, compared with Wilson and Ewing in 1993, compared with Bird in 1984, and Magic in 1982.

In comparison, he is very lucky. No one competes with him for the boss. He only needs to raise his arms and shout to declare his dominance in the Green Army.

He didn't do that because everything he got was too easy since he was a child. This made him feel that success was a matter of course. Whenever a teammate complained about too few shots, he would pass the ball to that person more, but once this happened

If he does, someone's shots will decrease, and someone else will complain. He can temporarily solve the passing problem, but there is nothing he can do about the battle between the substitutes and the main force.

Boozer has been doing evil all season. The tension between Wade and Ginobili is tense. Szczerbiak, Butler, and Korver are also competing fiercely for a little playing time. Gasol is just dealing with Boozer.

I was exhausted physically and mentally from the pressure.

Yao Yueban was the one least affected, and he also had a certain prestige, but he was not the boss of the team.

Who is the boss of the team? Of course it's Flawless.

The problem is that Lu Wuxia has never publicly stated that he wants to protect his teammates under his wings like James.

ish is the leader of the Celtics. Bird has said it publicly. Yao Yueban and Gasol also admit it. Even scumbags like Boozer have no objection to it. When the team appears

When there is a rift, the head coach alone is not enough.

Without the leading dog to lick the wound, the crack will only get bigger.

This is why Louis asked Wuxia "Don't you know?" He played very hard and desperately, but he bears the responsibility for the Celtics ending this year.

Lu Wuxia walked into the locker room disappointed, while Louis was waiting outside for Bird's arrival.

Another three years passed, and Bird once again completed a cycle of work.

Seeing Louis, Bird wanted to resign, but didn't say anything.

The team just lost the entire season and it would be inappropriate to resign now.

"Go ahead and give the young people inside a bowl of chicken soup for the soul. Tell them that we are still young, can afford to lose, and have a promising future."

Bird said: "I want to talk to you in a few days about the future."

"No problem," Louis responded.

The season is over, and Louis knows that Bird is ready to resign, but he has no intention of letting the deputy dog ​​go.

If Bird is tired, he can rest. In addition to coaching, Bird is also a good GM.

Louie met Pat Riley outside the arena.

As the team's assistant coach, he can be said to have witnessed the Celtics' season collapse with his own eyes.

"I've been thinking lately, how did the 1993 Knicks get back on their feet?" Riley said. "They deserved to collapse like the Celtics."

Louis said calmly: "It's very simple. The leader of the Knicks is not a little kid who doesn't know what responsibility is."

"Is this the answer?"

"Of course the answer is more than that," Louis said, "but it is a very complicated matter that cannot be explained clearly in a few words."

Two days later, Bird met Louis in Los Angeles.

Initially, Bird signed a three-year coaching contract. Now three years later, he encountered the same problem as three years ago.

Once the team inevitably imploded, Bird was at his wits end.

As before, he decided to retreat, but Louis gave him a better option.

You can stay in Boston, not coach, and work in the front office.

Bird has indeed been exhausted physically and mentally over the past seven years, and he no longer wants to coach in the short term. The management job is just what he wants.

In order to give Bird a reasonable position, Louis fired himself

- From now on, he is no longer the Celtics' president of operations.

The position of president was given to Ewing, and Bird was appointed vice president and general manager.

After making this arrangement, Louis devoted himself to preparing for the 2006 draft.

It's been a long time since he cared so much about the team.

This year ended with such a result. Not only the players were unwilling to accept it, but the coach was unwilling to accept it. He, the boss, was also very unwilling to accept it.

He thought to himself that he would never make the same mistake next year.

The Celtics need to rebuild in another sense.

The NBA playoffs have reached the most critical stage.

The 2006 Finals was between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Miami Heat. This was the second time the two teams met in the Finals since 2001.

After taking the lead alone, Kobe has shown his sharpness. He has averaged 34 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists per game so far in the playoffs. There is no doubt that he is one of the top three players in the league.

As for the Heat, Duncan is much inferior in terms of statistics.

Because of plantar fasciitis, the Heat strictly controlled Duncan's regular season playing time, and Duncan himself was very restrained. Entering the playoffs, Duncan's statistics improved a bit, but he only averaged 21 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 blocks per game.

.

Some people speculate that this is related to the fact that the Heat have not encountered major challenges along the way.

This is the answer. Today's Duncan no longer needs to do everything on both ends of the offense and defense like he did in 2001.

In the first game of the Finals, the Lakers were full of firepower and full of defensive intensity, but they only dragged the game to the last ten seconds. Then the Heat used an extremely simple tactic - Duncan passed the hand to Liu Yuqing in the high position, and the latter screened and passed the ball.

Hit a three-pointer to win the game.

After the game-winner, Liu Yuqing bowed to Kobe in a weird manner because Kobe had trash-talked him a lot during the game.

In Game 2 of the Finals, Kobe Bryant scored 42 points and the Lakers came back.

However, after two games, the Lakers' hidden dangers became apparent.

Super rookie Paul, who was so stunning in the regular season, lost weight under the intensity of the finals.

Artest's defense is tough enough, but the Heat have too many offensive firepower points. Kevin Martin was injured during the Lakers' breakout from the Western Conference, and his injury also caused the Lakers to be unable to match the Heat's offensive firepower.

As for Rasheed Wallace and Alonzo Mourning, they barely managed a 50-50 draw with the combination of Duncan and Wang Zhizhi who had not yet exerted their strength.

Kobe is the only point where the Lakers have an absolute advantage.

Unless Kobe plays like he did in Game 2 in every game, it will be difficult for the Lakers to win.

In the third game, Liu Yuqing, Ray Allen, Stephen Jackson, and Arenas rained three points.

In the fourth game, there was another stalemate to the end, but luck was not on the Lakers' side.

In the last 3 seconds of the game, Duncan missed a low hook shot and the rebound was shot to the outside and fell into the hands of Arenas.

Agent Zero raised his knife and dropped it. His confidence was so strong that he turned around and opened his hands to celebrate before the three-pointer fell into the bag.

"Ugh!"

This goal shattered the Lakers' determination to win.

Game 5 of the finals saw 40 minutes of garbage time.

The Lakers only resisted for half a quarter before being defeated by the Heat's offense.

The strength of the Lakers is only due to Kobe, but the strength of the Heat is the strength of the collective. They have found the team soul that swept the league in 2001.

When Ray Allen arrived, Liu Yuqing took the initiative to step aside@

130 to 99

The Heat defeated the Lakers 4-1 and won the fourth championship in team history. Chris Paul, who had received his tuition, shed tears to congratulate his senior Duncan. At that moment, a gorilla face appeared in Duncan's mind

, so, with a faint evil smile, he caressed his junior's head, leaving a devilish whisper in his ear: "Thank you for letting us win this year's championship. The future is yours."

Kobe's face didn't look very good when he saw Liu Yuqing.

After all, this was the second time he lost to the opponent in the finals.

Seeing how Liu Yuqing looked, he definitely wasn't holding back any kind words.

The other person opened his mouth and sure enough, "Do you miss Kevin?"

"Shut up, Jiang Duo!"

Liu Yuqing opened her hands mockingly, "This year's tragic defeat should make you understand that there will never be a Hoe like Kevin again."

"Asshole, don't be proud!" Kobe's lips trembled with anger, "I will definitely win it back!"

In the final FMVP selection, there are only two choices, either Arenas or Liu Yuqing.

Duncan's performance in this finals can only be regarded as average, because the Heat won the game before he could perform.

From the data point of view, Liu Yuqing is not as good as Ray Allen, but his sense of presence is too strong. Whether it is a wave of three-pointers that take away the opponent, or the buzzer-beater in the first game of the Finals, he is there.

.

It can be said that his performance is the barometer of the Heat's outside line.

Its stadium presence has transcended the value of the data itself.

In the end, the judges paid more attention to data, and Gilbert Arenas, who averaged 25 points and 8 assists per game in the finals, was elected FMVP.

Agent Zero inadvertently broke the "Generation of Miracles" monopoly on major MVP awards since 2000.

Afterwards, Arenas was asked what he wanted to do after winning the championship and being elected FMVP. Arenas replied triumphantly: "I want to go hunting, but my sponsor may not agree, but what the hell!"
