The rest is just noise

Chapter 1590: Two Heroes

Fortunately for Louis, the shit-mouthed Lu Wuxia has not become the norm - if it becomes the norm, he really doesn't know how to explain it to his wife - because Wuxia is not a person with a bad personality in the first place.

Although he was a little indulgent when he first tasted the benefits of ball dominance, he soon adjusted the way he put pressure on his teammates.

His smiles became more frequent and he was no longer so domineering.

In fact, nothing has changed. If there is any change, it is that he is no longer as tolerant of his teammates' mistakes as he was in the past.

As long as his teammates make mistakes on the field, he will use "kind taunt" that will break the defense of countless opponents.

The incorrigible ones will appreciate his true fire, but we are all decent people and no one wants to be the next Wally Szczerbiak.

The Celtics had been waiting for nearly four years, and finally the day came when Lu Wuxia showed his leadership style. The changes within the team were also reflected in the game.

The original Celtics were a multi-player team. Although Lu Wuxia and Yao Yueban had higher tactical status than others, neither of them were players with obvious privileges.

But when Lu Wuxia became the real boss, the hierarchy in the team became clear instantly.

Lu Wuxia is the number one franchise player, followed by Yao Yueban and Gasol, and then everyone else.

The hierarchical Celtics have become stronger. Throughout November, they only suffered a defeat at the hands of the Miami Heat.

Although the Heat defeated the Celtics, they unexpectedly lost two games against other teams.

Therefore, the Celtics, who have only lost one game since the start of the new season, currently lead the league in record.

Despite their superior record, the Celtics are still criticized.

There are two main points to blame.

The Celtics rest their main players too frequently and have "too few black players."

Load management is a concept that Louis has promoted since his comeback.

When he was with the Lakers and Knicks, he also rested the main players from time to time, but he never rested the main players as frequently as he did with the Celtics.

Some observers discovered that Louis no longer allowed Yao Yue to play back-to-back games since the four-game trip to California at the beginning of the season.

Secondly, core players such as Roy, Ginobili, Kirilenko, Gasol, etc. always feel pain here and there.

It’s understandable that Kirilenko needs more rest for a sick person, and Roy’s caution with a history of injuries is fine, but Ginobili and Gasol have been healthy since they entered the NBA, and I’ve never heard of them.

What injury?

Yao Yueban, who never played back-to-back games under Louis, was a model worker among model workers when he played for Bird and Thomas. Although he suffered some minor injuries, his attendance rate was guaranteed.

But under Louis, their rotation has become a rule.

Yao Yueban will not play back-to-back games. If the other core players play more than 70 minutes in two games, one of the next few games will have to take a rest.

When it comes to voices that accuse him of taking too many breaks, Louis has always had the attitude of "Who do you think you are?"

If you say that he rested the main players and caused the team's poor record, you can just say a few words. But the Celtics have only lost one game now and are ranked first in the league. What happened to the main players? It's not those who deserve to be criticized.

A team that even the Celtics can't beat? As for the Celtics having too few black players, this voice has been going on for a long time.

This has been the case since the year Bird took over the team.

It's just that this season is particularly intense.

Because the only black players on the Celtics roster are Wade, Houston, Allen, and Roy.

Of these four, two more seasons will be reimbursed.

In other words, there are only two black players in the entire roster. Roy is still resting frequently. Allen has not yet perfected his defense, his three-pointers are not accurate enough, and his tactics are unclear, so he can only watch the water dispenser.

This resulted in the Celtics often not being able to see a single black player in a game.

"I think the Celtics have

It is a model of NBA internationalization. We actively respond to President Stern’s globalization strategy. You can see that our team has players from all over the world. As for you saying that there are too few black players, I can only say, don’t be so narrow-minded.

Considering the current level of internationalization in our team, we deserve to be praised. Without the Celtics, the NBA would be just like the other major leagues in North America, just a small game played by Americans. Because of the Celtics,

Only then can we see the possibility of the NBA going global. Just imagine, ten or twenty years from now, the NBA may be made up of half international players. How exciting will that be?"

"But... black players..."

"By the way, you mentioned black players, and yes, we all love black players, but I think in such a historic moment,"

Under Louie's grand narrative, all accusations of racism and too few "black players" are wiped out.

This level of pressure comes easily to Louis.

After all, the Celtics are not a true black-free team.

Only when the Celtics become a de facto black-free team will greater public opinion overwhelm them.

However, what if the Celtics become a de facto black-free team, they will always be a nominal black international team.

Because Wade and Houston are on the injured list, they are both regular players. Even if they recover from their injuries in the future, Louis will still find ways to find other injured black players on the roster.

Time came to December, before the Christmas game, the Celtics were defeated by the Lakers and Suns respectively.

The Celtics have suffered three defeats so far, all against teams competing for the title in the East and West.

But what makes people angry is that except for the loss to the Heat, the Celtics did not play with all their main players in the other two games.

Against the Lakers, the Celtics rested Gasol and Kirilenko, but Kobe went crazy and scored 55 points.

Against the Suns, the Celtics rested Yao Yueban and Roy. Then Garnett became more ferocious, and even Milicic, a nightclub emperor who was strong on the outside but capable on the inside, was able to play tricks in the paint. Then, the night of the Christmas game.

This year, the league did not arrange a team that was recognized as a strong team before the game as their Christmas Day opponent for the Celtics.

I have to say that the makers of the schedule are very foresighted. They seem to have foreseen the rise of the Cleveland Cavaliers this season. The "Son of God vs. The Chosen One" gimmick is absolutely eye-catching.

The Cavaliers brought many helpers to LeBron James through summer operations.

For example, the Cavaliers spent two first rounds to trade Rashard Lewis from the SuperSonics for Rashard Lewis, who had a 100-million-dollar contract but a significant premium.

Then he signed sharpshooter Carlos Arroyo from the free market.

Then he gave veteran Jaylen Rose a moderate contract.

The most surprising move was to trade the Nets for sharpshooter Russell Butler in the first round.

As a 3D, Butler is at the top of the league and was one of the contributors to the Celtics' 2005 championship. But is he really worth using the 2013 first round?

What is certain is that the Cavaliers management is seeking a quick way to build the team. According to James' camp, the incompetence of the management has wasted LBJ's three years. If he cannot perform in the last two years, he will have to wait until 2008.

In the summer, the Emperor, whose rookie contract expires, will have to consider his own long-term development and find a more suitable place to live.

Facts have proven that pressure works.

The Cavaliers simply swallowed up Lewis's garbage contract and sent out the next three first-rounders to get James' immediate combat ability.

Although none of these players can be called star players, they all have three-pointers, can stretch the floor, and are very suitable to partner with James.

Then, in August, veteran Clifford "Big Tree" Robinson, who had played for the Cavaliers for many years in the past, announced his return, which directly improved the depth and strength of Cleveland's lineup, and also brought rotation flexibility. As a versatile player

, his versatile attributes and game experience are treasures that the Cavaliers desperately need.

Through radical strategies, the Cavaliers improved the strength of the team's lineup by two levels in just one summer. Then, James lived up to expectations. As a star-studded core in the new season, he averaged 30 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists per game, leading the way.

The Cavaliers have the fourth best record in the Eastern Conference and rank second on all major MVP prediction lists.

This kind of James is about to face Lu Wuxia, the number one player in the 2003 class who currently leads the honor roll, in the Christmas Day game.

Lu Wuxia not only led the team to the league's best record, but his personal statistics are also quite luxurious, averaging 24 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists per game, ranking first on the MVP prediction list.
