The rest is just noise
Chapter 1597 When injuries come knocking
"Tony Allen gave the crowd a great dunk!"
"Wait, Tony seems to be injured?"
"I wish him good luck. He is a young man with great potential. It would be unfair if he gets injured like this!"
Because there was an injured person on the field, the referee stopped the game directly.
The Celtics' team doctor came on the scene, and then several players and staff who were not on the active list came over with stretchers.
Team doctors are checking Tony Allen's injury.
But Louis just stood on the sidelines without saying a word, thinking of many things in his mind. If he remembered correctly, he had read an article called "The Top Ten Bizarre Injuries in the NBA" in his previous life.
One of the injuries was when a player tried to dunk when the ball was dead on the court, but ended up suffering a season-ending injury.
If his memory was correct, the unlucky guy was named Tony Allen. When the team doctor determined that Allen had suffered a major injury, he was put on a stretcher and taken away.
"Coach, who's going to replace Tony?" Mike Budenholzer asked.
Only then did Louis come to his senses and said, "Let Mike (Dunleavy) play."
"First, Dwyane Wade suffered an ACL while representing the United States team in the World Championships, and then Alan Houston suffered a relapse of an old injury during the training camp and was reimbursed for the season. Even before the start of the season, the Celtics suffered a major setback.
"However, while we applauded Brandon Roy's performance, this unyielding young man had to exit the season early because of a disease rooted in high school." Tom Heinsohn didn't know Kyle.
What happened to the Celtics recently? Did Reid's departure take away all the Celtics' good luck?
"Now, Tony Allen is also injured..." Heinsohn said frustratedly, "It's like someone throwing a black cat at the Celtics game every game." Heinsohn's partner Mike
Gorman smelled the racial flavor in these words and quickly changed the subject: "I believe Tony will be fine. We saw Boss Lu replaced Tony Tom with Mike Dunleavy. What do you think of this substitution?" Heinsohn
Also realize that it is inappropriate to use the Black Cats to mean that Tony Allen's injury is the Celtics' bad luck.
Although he definitely did not mean to be racist, the injured player is a black person... To be precise, every injured player of the Celtics so far this season is a black person. If anyone really wants to take the lead, Heinsohn will also
Can't stand it.
"This substitution should have good results..." Heinsohn followed Gorman's words, "Mike Dunleavy is a very smart player. He reminds me of Don Nelson... Well, rather, he is Don
The current version of ". Smart, comprehensive, and omnipotent. If one day, no one in the Celtics can hit the shot that ends the game, we can even arrange for him to do it."
As Heinsohn watched the game, he gradually discovered something unusual—there were no black players on the Celtics field.
In the past few years, the Celtics have been criticized by the outside world for having too few black players, but at least they can put out a lineup of one black and four non-black for most of the game.
Now, there is no darkness on the Celtics court.
What surprised Heinsohn even more was that there were no black players on the bench. Heinsohn suddenly discovered that the Celtics had just lost the only black player on their roster who could play in the game.
Now, the Celtics are a virtually no-black team.
This kind of thing may not have been a big deal before the 1980s, but now it is very dangerous.
Thinking of this, Heinsohn began to pray for Tony Allen.
The situation of the game has not changed because of Tony Allen's injury.
Lu Wuxia's state tonight made his opponents tremble.
In other words, if he keeps playing like this, Billy Donovan doesn't know which team can contain him.
Tonight, Lu Wuxia used a lot of pick-and-roll tactics with the ball to blast the Heat's defense.
If he is being defended by someone like Arenas who is shorter and has poor defense, he will directly break through him and even hit a step-back three-pointer.
If he encounters a big man like Duncan switching defenses, he will decisively display his mature arsenal of small-to-large weapons. Whether it is breakthroughs, throws, emergency stops, or direct outside shots to tease the inside, he has it all.
When the Celtics' pick-and-roll tactics expanded from the three-point line to one or two meters outside the three-point line.
When Lu Wuxia picked up a pick-and-roll and was able to seize the space one or two meters outside the three-point line and fire decisively, the Heat's defense against him entered a state of helpless self-destruction.
No matter how they adjust, they just can't stop Lu Wuxia.
In addition to holding the ball, Lu Wuxia also continued to attract the attention of at least two Heat defensive players on the off-ball end.
In this way, even if the tactics are initiated by others, the Celtics' offensive pressure will be greatly reduced.
Louis has seen similar things.
In the 2015-16 season, when the Warriors used five-point reduction to attack other teams, and when Curry's epoch-making three-pointers with the ball swept the league, those opponents were also so helpless.
In the third and fourth quarters, Ray Allen and Liu Yuqing's three-pointers ensured that the game was not taken away by the Celtics, but the Heat were never able to narrow the point difference to less than 15 points.
In the last three minutes, Ginobili's bloody 3+1 and Szczerbiak's chasing three-pointer killed the suspense of the game.
The Heat replaced their main players two and a half minutes before the end of the game, allowing the game to enter garbage time.
Louis also changed to the Celtics' third lineup: Jose Barea, Vasilis Spanoulis, Mike Dunleavy, Eduardo Najera, Zaza Pachulia
.
"When Boss Lu changes to the Five Nations, you know that the suspense of this game has disappeared." Mike Gorman laughed, "Except for the Celtics game, you will never be in other teams' games.
I saw such an international five-man team in the competition.”
Celtic's five-nation coalition helped them finish the remaining two and a half minutes smoothly.
At the end, 121 to 104, the Celtics defeated the Heat by 17 points. Lu Wuxia, who scored 49 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists, was undoubtedly elected as the best player in the game.
"I think ish is already a superstar." Heat coach Billy Donovan said helplessly. "This is really unbelievable. I watched this kid grow up. He even played bullfighting with me on the street.
I won the game at the time. But in the blink of an eye, he grew up and entered the NBA and kicked our butts. Oh, time... Anyway, I am proud of him."
Although Donovan simply admitted Lu Wuxia's strength, the Heat players were not convinced by the loss, such as Arenas and Stephen Jackson.
They thought tonight was a "good day" for Lu Wuxia, but this good luck would not always be with him.
"We still have a regular season game to play. If they are good enough, maybe we will meet in the playoffs." Jackson said with a tough look on his face, "I lost but I just don't accept it." "If
If he is still so outstanding, I will give him the respect he deserves."
Wu Sheng and Agent made the post-game atmosphere full of excitement, but Duncan cooled things off with just one sentence.
"He was so good tonight," Duncan joked without a smile. "In addition to saying hello, I think I will also touch his head during the next game." Duncan's "poisonous hand" has become a legend in the world.
Everyone regarded it as a joke, until a small flat valley suddenly appeared on Liu Yuqing's thick-haired head.
Therefore, when Duncan said this, many people laughed out loud.
Let this matter be over.
The Celtics were not in the mood to celebrate the victory because Tony Allen was injured.
After the game, Louis simply dealt with the reporters and went to the hospital to wait for the MRI results with Allen.
Until late at night, the results of the NMR came out:
Tony Allen's left knee ligament was seriously injured. Although it is not considered an ACL, it still requires surgery and is expected to take 6-7 months to recover.
This also means that Tony Allen will become the fourth Celtics player to be reimbursed for the season this season.
Louis stayed up all night until he was interviewed the next day, confirming Allen's injury and saying: "Aaron doesn't want to be disturbed now. He is in a very bad mood. Anyone who encounters this kind of thing will inevitably have some emotions.
However, what has happened is that we can only pray for him and move on."
"He has the potential to be a great player, but now he has to take a break."
