The rest is just noise

Chapter 1596: Sudden Fall

Looking at the Eastern Conference, the only team that can make Louis feel afraid is the Heat.

Since Duncan traveled east in 2000, the Heat have been the league's top team.

It has won three championships in seven years and reached the Eastern Conference finals seven times in a row.

It can be said that they are the door gods of the east.

After last year's sweep of the championship, this year's Heat looks to be as powerful as ever.

The only change is that Tim Duncan is adapting to the feeling of playing after losing weight. The reason why he wants to lose weight is for Duncan's future career. Since coming to the Heat, Duncan can no longer dominate as easily as the Lakers.

In the game, he needs to occupy the center position for a long time and support the team's offensive and defensive system.

At the beginning of last season, plantar fasciitis began to afflict Duncan. If the Heat had not had a deep lineup, perhaps Duncan's deterioration would have occurred earlier.

In order to alleviate the wear and tear on the body, reducing weight and allowing yourself to play ball more lightly is the only way.

But adapting to this lightweight body is not something that can be done in a short period of time. Due to the incompatibility with the current weight, coupled with a series of problems such as the ups and downs in hand feel and decreased resistance caused by weight loss, Duncan has played the best since his rookie season.

Worst performance ever.

His scoring average has dropped by 20 points per game, and he currently has 6 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 8 blocks per game.

In the eyes of many people, Duncan, who is about to turn 30, may bid farewell to his peak.

But Louis knows that in less than two years, Lao Dengtou will adapt to his current weight and enter his second peak, which will last until 2015.

However, although Duncan's combat effectiveness has declined, the Heat's immediate combat effectiveness has not been greatly affected.

Currently, they are chasing the Celtics on the record list, and there is only one win difference between the two sides. If the Celtics lose tonight, then, based on the relationship between victory and defeat, the Heat will surpass the Celtics.

Ranked first in the league.

On the night of the game, Billy Donovan and Duncan first greeted Louis. "Coach, you guys look great this year." Donovan smiled, "Maybe we will meet again in the playoffs."

Louis smiled lightly and said: "Then I have to ask you to be lenient when the time comes."

This kind of remark that could not be taken seriously caused both Louis and Donovan to laugh. Only in this way could the embarrassment be relieved.

Duncan only needs one sentence to make this embarrassment disappear: "Coach, I have good news, do you want to hear it?"

Louis looked at Duncan curiously, wondering what the good news was.

"tell me the story."

Duncan said playfully: "A small white dot appeared in the center of Jiang Duo's head..."

Louis couldn't help but look at Liu Yuqing.

From this perspective, there is really no sign that Liu Yuqing is bald, but Duncan certainly wouldn't say this for no reason.

"Poor Jiang Duo..." Louis suddenly remembered something, "Wait, why is this good news?"

I saw Duncan raising his right hand, with a devilish smile on his face that fans loved to see, and he seemed very satisfied with the result - is his hand really poisonous?!

Although the exchanges between Louis, Donovan and Duncan were very harmonious, the relationship between the Celtics and Heat players was filled with acrimony.

Even Yao Yueban, who has always been kind to others in the NBA, did not smile when he shook hands with Duncan and the others.

This is what changes come with playoff competition.

Since the Celtics entered the Larry Bird era again, they have become members of the Eastern Conference's championship club.

The only way to stay in this club is to remain competitive for the championship. Therefore, the confrontation between the Celtics, Heat and Knicks inevitably heated up.

We can forget about the fact that the Knicks are the old enemy of the Celtics. It only took one year for the Heat and the Celtics to become enemies of each other.

After the game started, Lu Wuxia's performance was eye-catching.

He called Duncan on the pick-and-roll outside, which severely dampened the Heat's enthusiasm.

Afterwards, he turned on the off-ball mode and weaved in and out of the crowd.

After coming out, he caught the ball and shot a three-pointer.

After showing his arsenal of weapons on and off the ball, Lu Wuxia grabbed a long rebound when the Heat lost a positional battle, and pointed to the position three meters outside the frontcourt three-point line in front of Arenas.

.

That means: I want to take action there!

Arenas completely did not believe that Lu Wuxia would choose to shoot a long chasing three-pointer ten meters away from the basket during the defensive counterattack.

Come on, the Celtics didn't fall behind by 3 points in the final seconds!

Lu Wuxia told him with practical actions, who said it had to be at that moment to chase a long three-pointer?

As long as the shot goes in, where is the three-pointer not a shot?

Just as he predicted in advance, Lu Wuxia stopped not long after halftime, collected the ball, and instantly made a coherent jump-stop and shot a long three-pointer.

The Miamians at the scene opened their mouths, and even Lu Wuxia's father helplessly spread his hands, saying that he didn't know what this kid was thinking.

However, some great moments are born out of situations like this.

"Ugh!!!"

Lu Wuxia scored the first 12 points of the Celtics' opening game, independently launched a 12-5 offensive climax, and hit the Heat's timeout.

The flawless state was so brave that Louis decisively replaced Yao Yue to take a rest, let Gasol swing to the fifth position, and then let Kirilenko come on to play the fourth position.

Yao Yue was replaced before the three-point line in the first half of the game. This can only mean one thing. The Celtics just want to play offense now (7 seconds or less).

This is not to say that Yao Yueban can't play offense, Yao Yueban can also play, but when Yao Yueban and Lu Wuxia are on the court at the same time, the Celtics still have offense (20 seconds or more) to make the tactics systematic.

If you only play offense, the pace is too fast, which will consume a lot of unnecessary energy for a traditional giant like Yao Yueban, and waste his finishing ability that is second to none in the league.

The core of the offense is for all players to surround Lu Wuxia and Ginobi 1777/1780 Chapter 1596 Sudden Fall

Use two ball-carriers to spread the ball, and the others will either pull away or move up the pick-and-roll, striving for a quick attack.

It is more suitable for Lu Wuxia to improve the rhythm of the game with his opening state.

As for Yao Yueban, there is no harm in taking more rest, and when the transition period comes, Louis really doesn't know what the Heat's substitute insiders can do to stop him.

The Celtics have been attacking from the beginning, which obviously exceeded the Heat's expectations.

Because although the Celtics used offense as a regular routine before, this routine was only half of the offensive system.

Suddenly, they became a run-and-gun team, and Lu Wuxia was in unstoppable heat.

He completely destroyed Arenas in a one-on-one situation and constantly used trash talk to attack Agent Zero's mentality.

As for the Heat, Duncan was named by Lu Wuxia and Ginobili one after another.

The most terrible thing is that Duncan obviously doesn't think there is any problem with his defense, but Lu Wuxia and Ginobili can use their personal abilities to continuously eat him up. From the first quarter to the last minute, Kyle was on full fire.

The Jets scored 38 points in a single quarter, leading the Heat by a full 15 points.

This is just one section.

Then, Donovan replaced the tired Duncan, and the Celtics also replaced Lu Wuxia, Ginobili and Gasol.

However, the replacements for the three of them were Jose Barea, Tony Allen, and Yao Yueban.

When the Celtics' lineup was so luxurious that Yao Yueban could fill the depth of the second lineup from time to time, Donovan knew that the biggest obstacle to them achieving two consecutive championships for the first time in the Duncan era was the Celtics.

Remembering that Louis asked them to be merciful in the playoffs before the game, Donovan thought to himself, if we show mercy, the Celtics can kill us mercilessly?

Yao Yueban's inside advantage allowed the Celtics to win at the end of the first and second quarters.

The lead reached 22 points in the first half.

Then, Liu Yuqing and Ray Allen scored three three-pointers in a row, narrowing the point difference to 13 points.

Later, Lu Wuxia returned to the court, and Liu Yuqing, who had switched defenses, took a three-pointer and widened the point difference to 15 points.

"Ish has quietly evolved!" Tom Heinsohn shouted, "He may be the best player at the moment! You can still find a few players like Ish who can hit everything with the ball and can also

Tear apart the opponent's defense without the ball? He is definitely the most unstoppable player in the league!"

Doesn't that give him a Tommy point?

Louis smiled.

However, Louis' smile did not last long - the Heat tried to find shooters with hot hands on the offensive end, but Tony Allen did not let them succeed. Allen saved like a hungry wolf and intercepted the Heat's pass.

, and then like a bullet fired, it swept across the front court like a whirlwind. He made up his mind to seize this rare performance opportunity to show off the creative moves he planned to use in the dunk contest in advance.

I saw Allen take a step inside the free throw line and take off vigorously. His body flew into the air as if it had escaped gravity. He then changed hands with the ball from his crotch and then hit a powerful hit that could carve a mountain.

The basketball was slammed into the basket by him!

However, he failed to stabilize his center of gravity. At the moment he landed, his right foot that landed first lost its balance and twisted in a heart-wrenching arc. Then, Tony Allen fell down.

PS: It's three o'clock in the morning, and I just went home after watching the midnight screening of the Slam Dunk movie version. The moment I walked out of the cinema, I recommended you to watch this movie, but now, I don't recommend it. Why? Because I

There are 1,000 positive reviews and nearly 300 negative reviews on the ticket purchase website. Those who can go to the midnight show are all die-hard fans. One of the three die-hard fans will see the emotional filter broken and score 1 point in anger.

What are you talking about? So I don’t dare to recommend it. If you want to watch it, just watch it. I will tell you some of the good and bad aspects of this movie:

Advantages: The smoothness of the game content is a smoothness that the animated version cannot match, but it is precisely because the game content is so well produced that its shortcomings are so damnable.

Disadvantages: A lot of content has been deleted. And a completely evil narration. How disgusting is this narration? For a movie with the theme of the Battle of the Mountain King, it can show you the game for a while and then flash back to Miyagi's memories, and this narration is from beginning to end.

, is carried out from beginning to end, resulting in a mess of the film’s rhythm.
