The rest is just noise

There will never be another night like this again

Yao Yue's reimbursement for half of the regular season did not cause the Celtics' record to drop significantly.

Contrary to what observers concluded, the Celtics not only stayed strong, but also won consecutive games.

March 10

The Celtics' home game against the Jazz made many people realize that Lu Wuxia might have a chance to compete for the first MVP trophy in his career.

Ginobili burned the CPU, Kirilenko committed too many fouls, and Gasol was in bad shape.

The Celtics gathered most of the losing elements.

The only thing is that Lu Wuxia still maintains a high level of competition.

Lu Wuxia scored 18 points in the first quarter and 28 points and 6 assists in the half, allowing the Celtics to hold on to the score.

After watching the first half of the game, Louis knew that if he wanted to win tonight's game, it would depend on how well Wu Xia performed.

Therefore, he provided flawless and sufficient help in the lineup.

At the beginning of the second half, the Celtics started with Lu Wuxia, Szczerbiak, Korver, Dunleavy and Collison.

The biggest role of this lineup is to liberate the Celtics from complex tactics.

Through the shooting threats of these teammates, Lu Wuxia continued to use pick-and-roll offense to disintegrate the Jazz's defense.

Nash and Anthony have become targets in Lu Wuxia's eyes.

Even Bosh, the strongest defensive player in the Jazz starting lineup, was given military training.

Lu Wuxia proved that even if he is allowed to play one star and four stars like James, he can still play well.

Moreover, in terms of technical characteristics, the first-type color test system is one of the most suitable for him.

Lu Wuxia has a Nash-level shooting threat with the ball, a running threat without the ball at the level of a sharpshooter, and the league's best shooting range.

In this case, if he wants to play a pick-and-roll, the opponent will either switch defenses or double-team.

If there is a change of defense, Lu Wuxia will decide according to the size of the opponent whether to eat it up by himself or pass it to his teammates for secondary organization. If he encounters a double team, the vision advantage brought by his height is enough to double team him.

Pass the ball before becoming a threat.

And this is still an option when the opponent responds appropriately.

If the opponent doesn't deal with it properly, like tonight's Jazz, their wing line lacks strong defenders, and no one can wipe out Nash and Anthony's butts. As a result, Lu Wuxia performed the craziest offensive performance of the season.

Lu Wuxia's performance was so good that people suspected that the Jazz didn't guard him on purpose. As long as their defense was a little more careful, it wouldn't be like they didn't have any defense at all.

In the entire game, Lu Wuxia scored a career-high 59 points and 7 assists, leading the Celtics to a comeback in the fourth quarter and successfully defending their home honors.

On this career night, Lu Wuxia told reporters with satisfaction: "This is the most enjoyable game I have ever played. There will never be another night like this again."

Louis thought this was a bit arbitrary.

He's not even 23 yet, and there will certainly be many nights like this ahead.

However, if he decides not to play in his comfort zone, it will be difficult to have a night like this.

This performance tonight has something to do with the performance of several main players stretching their hips.

Precisely because others could not count on him, Louis tried his best to make the role players play flawlessly.

And Wuxia lived up to expectations, playing the best performance of his career under the stars.

It was this game that allowed Lu Wuxia to enter the MVP discussion.

Although this is only Lu Wuxia's fourth year, his strength and team leadership record are enough to rank among the MVP contenders. As early as his rookie season, he was voted MVP by the media who were crazy about creating a new god.

second.

In the past three seasons, Lu Wuxia's MVP voting has never fallen out of the top six, but he has never been officially elected as the MVP.

This year is an opportunity. Even when Yao Yue was injured, he performed very well in leading the team. Moreover, some of his competitors at the same time did not perform as well as him, and some had been elected MVP several times. The media generally had

The mentality of boredom.

If Lu Wuxia can maintain his current momentum, he will be the MVP.

One day later, the Celtics lost back-to-back games to the Charlotte Bobcats.

The main contributors to helping the Bobcats win were former Celtics players Tony Parker and Gerald Wallace.

For Parker, the game was clearly personal.

After the game, Parker said sarcastically: "This is the best night of my career, and a day like this will never come again."

It's understandable that Parker would be dissatisfied with Lu Wuxia and the Celtics.

After Bird led the Celtics to the championship that year, Parker was traded.

In hindsight, the biggest beneficiary of this transaction was Lu Wuxia.

And Lu Wuxia happened to be the boss's son, so it was very difficult not to associate this matter with him.

But the Son of God is not someone who refuses to resist when someone is being ridiculed.

At the same time, he also knows that when he loses, he loses. What is lost on the court can only be won back on the court.

Fortunately, the Celtics and Bobcats still have one regular season game to play, which is the last regular season game of the season.

Lu Wuxia silently marked Shanmao and Parker in her heart.

This team and this guy has made it onto his "definitely needs to get some ass kicked" list.

Although the winning streak was interrupted by the Bobcats, it did no harm to the Celtics.

Ginobili said: "We would like to win 82 consecutive games, but is this possible? As long as a person is playing the game, there will definitely be a day when he is not in his best condition."

"I think I played badly!" Pachulia didn't play a few minutes at all, but he still had the courage to take responsibility for the loss. "But Tony Parker seemed to have got carried away. I hope he can play so well next time we meet.

.”

What Lu Wuxia didn't say, Pachulia said it for him.

To Parker, this was just a nobody.

Sooner or later he will understand that being targeted by Pachulia is never a good thing.

Louis was happy to see Parker get over it.

Although it hurt Wu Xia's face, it strengthened the team's cohesion.

Two days later, the Celtics beat the Nets by 28 points on the road.

Eight players on the team scored in double figures.

The top scorer was Szczerbiak, who scored a team-high 18 points with 6 three-pointers.

Two days later, the Celtics and Pistons were in a stalemate for three quarters. In the fourth quarter, Louis used positionless basketball to defeat them. Lu Wuxia scored 42 points and 8 assists.

Nothing illustrates "sometimes losing a game isn't necessarily a bad thing" better than the Celtics.

The ten-game winning streak was ended by the Bobcats, thus unloading the Celtics' burden.

Now, the Green Army is united and full of momentum.

Lu Wuxia became more and more leader-like, showing the air of a general in every move he made.

No one expected that the Celtics would win 14 consecutive games after winning 10 games in a row.

On the final night of the regular season, the Celtics faced the Bobcats away from home.

Logically speaking, the Celtics should rest their main players.

Because they currently have 67 wins and 14 losses, locking in the first place in the league.

Even if we lose this game, it doesn't matter.

But the Celtics deliberately rested four main players in the penultimate game - what's even more exaggerated is that even though four main players were rested, Ginobili still defeated the opponent with the substitutes.

Why rest the main players early? Naturally, it is to use all the main players to fight against the Bobcats.

As for why it was targeted at the Bobcats...this matter started to be hyped before the game started.

In the game against the Bobcats, the Celtics played with all their main players.

As soon as the game started, it was obvious that the Celtics were in full swing.

Kirilenko came up and gave Gerald Wallace two blocks.

Lu Wuxia didn't call it a pick-and-roll, he held the ball at the top of the arc and scored consecutive one-on-ones.

Parker, who realized he was being targeted, did not intend to sit still and wait for death.

His breakthrough is also difficult for the Celtics to defend.

In the past few years with the Bobcats, Parker has also developed a mid-range shot that is not stable. He is no longer the small sports car that only relied on one-handed breakthroughs to cause damage.

But even though Parker didn't suffer too much on the field, the Bobcats, whose lineup was hugely different from the Celtics, still fell behind by a big score early.

In the middle of the third quarter, Lu Wuxia hit a chasing three-pointer to widen the point difference to 30 points. Louis then went up and down five times.

Among the five people substituted on the field was Pachulia.

No one expected that Pachulia would become the protagonist of this game that had lost its suspense.

With the Georgian's athletic ability, no one believed that he could successfully delay Parker in the high post. However, as Parker used his defense as air to break through with all his strength, he accidentally bumped into the opponent.

Pachulia knows very well how much the referee likes to take care of these defenders who come and go in the whistle. Since the foul is inevitable, in order to maximize the benefits of the foul, the Georgian looks like he is unbalanced and presses hard.

On Parker.

Parker screamed in pain as his right ankle bore part of Pachulia's weight.

The boos at the scene fell like a torrential rain.

Pachulia still looked innocent.

Ranbir found Louis looking at him playfully and hurriedly cleared the relationship: "It has nothing to do with me, don't look at me!"

After the game, Lu Wuxia confronted reporters who accused Pachulia of misconduct and that he should be suspended or even expelled from the NBA.

"Zaza definitely didn't do it on purpose." Lu Wuxia said rationally, "When we play intra-team competition, I like Zaza to go to the opponent's team the most, because then I can take advantage of his slow speed.

I am not trying to excuse him, I just want to say that Tony's injury was an accident, and Zaza is just clumsy."

"Yeah, I'm clumsy."

Seeing that Wish was willing to risk being criticized by the outside world to defend himself, Pachulia was very moved. He felt that everything he did was meaningful.

Will there ever be a night like this again?

Most definitely.
