The rest is just noise

There was basically nothing worth summarizing about the game against the Clippers.

During the video analysis meeting the next day, Louis didn't even mention the Clippers, and instead put the time that should have been spent reviewing the game on pregame preparations against the Lakers.

The Celtics will play back-to-back games with the Lakers on the road tonight.

This is their first back-to-back of the new season.

Generally speaking, Louis likes the schedule arranged by the league for them. There is pressure in the early stage but the intensity of the opponents is low, it is tense in the mid-term, and it is easy in the late stage but the intensity of the opponents is high.

Such a schedule is beneficial, because the latter part of the season is often when the team is in its best form. Playing against a large number of strong teams at that time can not only ensure the quality of the game, but also evaluate the strength of the competitors in each playoff.

Find out.

As for the away back-to-back arrangement against the Clippers and Lakers, it is simply the easiest back-to-back in the NBA.

Because both teams play in Los Angeles and share the same home court, the Celtics only need to prepare for the Lakers at the same pace as they prepare for the Clippers.

After several wonderful operations by the management, the Lakers got rid of Rasheed Wallace this summer and welcomed the obviously degraded Chris Webber.

Compared with Wallace, Webber, who has experienced serious injuries, has withdrawn from the ranks of superstars, but he is more suitable for the Lakers than the former because he does not cause trouble very much and has an ecstatic coordinator. He is very suitable as a high-position coordinator to help Paul share the organizational pressure.

.

Except for Webber, the Lakers' basic plan remains unchanged. They built an offensive and defensive system around Kobe who has entered his peak period. They fully absorbed the core ideas of the "whale fall" tactic in the "Beautiful Basketball" system of the Louis era and developed a

The "whale swallowing" system allowed Kobe to average 32 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists per game this season.

Some observers believe that if Kobe does not have four teammates who average double figures per game, relying on the "whale" system to average 37 points per game will not be a problem. "The Lakers' level is far above the Clippers, I believe you have done a good job

Be prepared to face difficulties." As soon as Louis finished his words, Chou Wuxia said, "ish, can you perform as well as you did in the last game against the Lakers?"

Lu Wuxia looked at the teammates around him: "What do you think?"

Ginobili is well versed in flattery: "No problem, no problem, Chris Paul can't guard you at all."

Yao Yue half-heartedly agreed: "As a junior, I'm good at everything, but I'm a little short, so it's really difficult to face Wuxia."

Lu Wuxia heard from many uncles that loyal dad likes to fish the most before the game.

Now he asks you in a friendly manner if you can fight well. If you fight well, he will continue to be pleasant. If you don't fight well, his face will change faster than Stanley (the protagonist of "The Man in Disguise").

Moreover, he can't really praise the Lakers' performance because the Lakers themselves have many perimeter players with excellent defense.

Paul himself is the biggest counter-example of "short height = poor defense". Kobe Bryant has been selected for the first defense all year round, and Artest is the number one wing single defender currently in service. Neither of them is easy to deal with.

No matter what the loyal father has in mind, Lu Wuxia will not take the bait, "You know me, I never value personal data. As long as I can win, it doesn't matter whether I perform well or not, the important thing is winning."

Some correct nonsense cannot be doubted as long as it is said.

Seeing that his son didn't bite the hook, Louis had to look at the others, "Listen up, in the game against the Lakers, the shooting percentage from the outside will be the key. It just so happens that some of the most accurate shooters in the league are on our team. You are sure of it."

Shoot through the Lakers net tomorrow night?"

"Put it on me!" Wally Szczerbiak, eager to express himself, responded loudly.

Louis nodded slightly, expressing satisfaction with Szczerbiak's reaction, and then glanced at "American Jay". Unexpectedly, although this guy was a fourth-year player like Wu Xia, he was very calm and was not provoked at all. He just voted.

Get a firm look.

There is no comparison between this look and Szczerbiak's response, but if the two of them turned into Boston blacksmiths tomorrow night, Szczerbiak would be scolded, and Korver would be ignored, because

Louis couldn't say to him, "You're obviously a dog and you still stare at me like that."

Let me fight the gods and demons!!!?" After that, Louis simply arranged the matchup for tomorrow.

Lu Wuxia discovered that he actually had to face Kobe on the defensive end.

What counterpoint is this?

Although he is two meters tall, he is a point guard. How can he play against Kobe? He should play against Paul!

Looking at his son's resentful eyes, Louis asked him: "Unless you want to play against Ron Artest, I believe Manu is very willing to trade opponents with you."

Compared with Kobe, Artest is a defender that Lu Wuxia doesn't want to meet. Kobe can only be said to be a mad dog-type single defender, which is extremely oppressive to the ball holder, but Artest is the one on the court.

Hanaoka Sanita - the famous male protagonist of the "My Husband Please Forgive me" series - his fierceness and ferocity that wants to violate his opponent six times in every game are vividly displayed in him.

In fact, the person Lu Wuxia wanted to face off the most was Paul.

Although Paul is very good at defense, due to his limited height, it is really difficult to guard him.

However, if he doesn't go against Kobe, should Szczerbiak do it? With Szczerbiak's ability to withstand pressure, a misfire under Kobe's defense is a high probability thing.

Of course, you can't blame Szczerbiak for being weak. If you want to blame it, blame the Lakers. Why are there so many tough defenders? For those who don't know, they think they want to prove that the Knicks dynasty is orthodox with the Lakers. You just want to prove it, and you also prove it.

No, in which Knicks dynasty would there be a player like Webber in the paint?

What, you're talking about last year's Knicks? Can a team that can't find a single defensive player be considered the successor to the Knicks dynasty? Cut, cut them all! After deciding on the matchup, it can be said that each has its own merits

I was worried, but basically it wouldn’t change. One day later, the Celtics came to Staples Center 90 minutes early. Lu Wuxia met Kobe.

"You've been in good shape recently." Kobe is different from other NBA superstars who have served as Wu Xia's sparring partner. He is only 6 years older than Wu Xia, so the relationship between them is more like that of a big brother and a little brother.

Lu Wuxia asked expectantly: "So will you personally guard against me?"

Kobe's answer was as flawless as falling into an ice cave: "If you can beat Ron, I will guard you."

Offense against Artest, defense against Kobe?

Did the Lakers' strongest spear and shield attack him?

Lu Wuxia finally felt the depth of his disloyal father's intentions. If this wasn't a pure design, no one would believe it.

Moreover, Lu Wuxia also thought of something deeper.

If he doesn't perform well tonight, will his unfaithful father have an excuse to take action on him?

Cazzo! Don’t do that kind of thing!

Thinking of this, Lu Wuxia was instantly full of fighting spirit.

As the evening progressed, fans began to enter the venue.

While the two sides were warming up, the Lakers played a tribute video to Louis on the big screen.

Moreover, Jim Buss announced in the video that in order to thank Louis for his contribution to the Lakers for six years, the team will retire a jersey for him next season. The response caused by this incident among fans is not doubtful

, but cheered.

Although Louis' tenure with the Lakers was only six years, during these six years, he won four consecutive championships for the team, established a dynasty, and ended the century-old curse of the Lakers' inability to defeat the Celtics in the Finals.

He also selected a great five-man team like the Generation of Miracles... To this day, it has been six years since he left Los Angeles, but his legacy still deeply affects the Lakers.

Whether it is the height of the peak or the lasting influence, it is worthy of the Lakers to retire a jersey for Louis.

Since there was no prior notice, this really surprised Louis. However, beyond the surprise, Louis couldn't help but wonder, if he led the Celtics to defeat the Lakers in the finals, would they change their minds?

This is not without lessons. Wasn't he booed by Celtics fans when he returned to the Boston Garden wearing a purple suit?

However, Louis doesn't think so much now.

When the warm-up is over, the on-site DJ will announce the two teams@

The players gathered around Louie.

"'Whale Swallowing' is a very monotonous tactic. Remember the plan we agreed on before, make a good target, make a good start, and shoot the three-pointer into the basket." Louis shouted, "Let's go!

"
