The rest is just noise

Final score: 121 to 103.

The Cavaliers can only play neck-and-neck with the Celtics if the entire team can score three points.

And this happened in the second half.

Due to the rain of three-pointers from the Cavaliers and the increased intensity of the game, for example, Kang Chengbiao completely ignored the friendship of the national team and committed extremely vicious tactical fouls on Yao Yueban and Lu Wuxia.

This rough way of playing really disrupted the Celtics' rhythm.

However, even if they maximize their advantages, the Cavaliers can only slightly lead the Celtics at halftime.

The Celtics, who had a huge advantage in the first half, only needed to perform step by step to win the game.

And that's exactly what they did.

For all parties, the game's goals were achieved.

Except for the last two minutes of garbage time, the remaining 46 minutes are normal games.

The 2003 duo of Lu Wuxia and James performed well. The former scored 35 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists, and the latter scored 38 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists.

Both of them showed their own characteristics. James was unable to win alone, while Lu Wuxia easily won.

"I believe they will compete with each other for many years. In the future, people will discuss ish and LBJ as much as they discuss Benj and MJ."

Louie's metaphor is heartwarming.

However, why Wilson and Jordan and not Ewing and Sampson? As we all know, although Wilson and Jordan are old enemies, the honors of these two people are not symmetrical at all.

Dividing Benj's championship by 10 is still Jordan's untouchable peak. Who told Jordan that he would not be able to win a championship?

Ewing and Sampson are obviously the bigger expectations.

The two dominant insiders spanned two eras, each won more than one hand of rings, and left countless topics and controversies. To this day, the smoke of war between Ewing fans and Sampson fans still permeates the air.

There are basketball fans in every corner of the Internet.

Since Louis compared Wilson and Jordan, the reporter would naturally ask: "So, in your opinion, who is Benj and who is MJ?"

Louis had a "straight hook fishing, right? You're still too young" smile: "As a coach, I don't know. As a father, I will support ish."

Louis easily dodged the controversy, and reporters could only ask about other things.

In addition to the comparison between Wu Xia and Xiao Zhan, reporters are indeed interested in another thing. "Coach Lu, this game is the 996th victory of your career. Do you think you will continue to win consecutively with the momentum of winning?

Sensheng Milestone Night?"

The reporter's words made Louis feel dazed for a few seconds.

Has it been so long in the blink of an eye?

Is he going to become the coach of Qian Sheng?

"Thank you for your good advice. I hope we can do it." Louis smiled lightly.

Then came the last question of the day: "Coach Lu, among the 996 regular season games you won, which game left the deepest impression on you?"

"It's difficult to answer this question," Louis said, pausing for nearly ten seconds. He was really thinking, "There are two games that left the deepest impression on me. One happened in 1984, when we played against the Philadelphia 76ers.

In the game, I had a small friction with a certain referee (there was laughter at the scene), and Larry and Dr. J had a big friction (there was even bigger laughter at the scene). Another game was in 1986,

I brought the Knicks to Boston for a road game. I can't remember the specific details, but there are two things I remember clearly. Patrick Ewing's last-minute buzzer beater, and I lit up the old Boston Garden.

Got a cigar."

Finally, Louis added: "By the way, that cigar was given to me by Reed before I left Boston."

"This was definitely the most fun regular season game I've ever coached."

Twenty years later, reporters can still see the nostalgia for the old days on Louis' face.

Although the New Year is just around the corner, the Celtics have a tight schedule.

stop

After one day of rest, they will face the Los Angeles Clippers at home, and then go to the road to face the Golden State Warriors back-to-back. After another two days of rest, they will go to Seattle to challenge the SuperSonics, and then return to home to face the Portland Trail Blazers on the first day of the new year.

The arrival. If all goes well, Louis will usher in the milestone of 1,000 wins on the first day of 2007.

However, things are obviously not going smoothly for the Celtics.

On the afternoon of the game against the Clippers, Louis noticed that Roy's running posture was a little awkward, so he stopped training and took him to the team doctor for examination.

Roy, who wanted to endure the pain, revealed his secret to the team doctor and confessed the pain in his knee.

Louis was furious, whether it was Roy's stupid insistence on injury or the team doctor's previous statement that "it's normal to have knee pain."

At that moment Louis really looked like he could breathe fire.

In this way, Roy, who had initially realized his talent, once again put up the free card. This time, Louis not only wanted him to rest until his knee fully recovered, but also used his contacts to invite the Arizona Sports Medicine Center, which cooperates with the Suns, and Jason

Dr. James Carter, who Kidd had undergone minimally invasive knee surgery, invited the Boston University Sports Medicine Center to conduct an expert consultation with Roy.

He was determined not to give up until Roy's problem was solved.

For this reason, they would not hesitate to let Roy sit out for two years like Embiid. After the Celtics announced that Roy would be out indefinitely, many fans expressed their blessings to Roy in various ways.

However, a considerable number of foreign media expressed frustration that the Celtics, who lead the league in record, currently have only one active black player.

The Celtics chose to ignore this matter.

Externally, they only said that the team's current focus is on confirming Roy's injury.

There is also Manu Ginobili’s early contract extension negotiations.

Unconsciously, Ginobili has also ushered in his fifth NBA season. This year will be the last year of his rookie contract.

Regarding the contract extension, Ginobili was very positive because the Celtics are a good team and he is very happy here.

The person primarily responsible for contract renewal negotiations is Bird.

Louis led the team as usual.

One day later, the Celtics played against the Clippers at home.

In this battle, Lu Wuxia took turns to rest, and Yao Yueban took the lead.

Facing the Clippers with Eddie Curry, Emeka Okafor, and Rasheed Wallace (Bogut was injured), Yao Yue made achievements both inside and outside in the first half, scoring 42 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 rebounds in a single game.

Blocked shots and successfully defended the home court.

"I have always heard people say that Yao is not good at this, that he is not good at that, and that he has no dominance... I have heard enough of these words. I am here to tell those critics, if you don't know what dominance is, you might as well watch this game. This is

Dominance."

The next day, the Celtics went to Golden State to challenge the Warriors.

Since it was back-to-back away games, Louis rested Yao Yueban and Kirilenko.

In this battle, Lin Ziye performed poorly, and the Celtics showed a state of all-out fighting. Lu Wuxia only took 9 shots in the game and only scored 14 points, but sent 18 assists and successfully led the team.

Winning consecutive away games.

This is also the 998th victory of Louis' career.

After that, the Celtics moved from Golden State to Seattle. This is a team that is precarious.

Not to mention the Sonics' poor competitiveness, the team is also on the eve of relocation due to various reasons.

The inside story of the Sonics' relocation is very complicated, but it is nothing more than the inconsistent interests of the owner and the local people. No matter what the outcome, the only thing that will be hurt is the local fans who have supported this team for decades.

In the game against the SuperSonics, Lu Wuxia played without the ball. As the second position, he made 7 of 11 shots from the three-point line. He scored 46 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, allowing the team to bid farewell to 2006 with a triumphant song.

January 1, 2007

Celtics vs. Trail Blazers at home.

If he wins this game, Louis will reach the milestone of 1,000 wins.

Before the game, Lu Wuxia said: "I remember Benj

When I was in New York, I made a bold statement about his coach's 600-win milestone - if he lost the game that night, he would shave his head - and I make the same promise here now, if we tonight

If we lose, our coach will be punished by not shaving for a whole year."

Louis:???

That night, Lu Wuxia expressed that he really wanted his father not to shave for a year, and he had no shooting touch at all.

Fortunately, the Celtics have Yao Yueban, who eats, sleeps and plays World of Warcraft. Therefore, the Celtics had no danger and finally defeated the Trail Blazers. 111 to 102

At the end of the game, the audience stood up and cheered for Louis for a full six minutes. Louis did not prepare a long speech. When the audience quieted down, he took the microphone and said lightly: "Thank you everyone for your support. Please keep this energy and wait for us."

Let me and my players experience it again when we finish the job this year."
