The rest is just noise

This year is considered a bumper year for the 2003 Platinum Generation, with many people selected for the All-NBA Team.

But the strange thing is that everyone is very low-key.

The reason is very simple. If everyone's grades are similar, then of course hello, hello, hello, everyone, let's look forward to a bright future together. However, if someone is obviously above the class, it will be difficult to say.

Lu Wuxia is such a person of the 03 generation who destroys the environment.

We are all young and promising stars of the future. Why is your style different from others?

He made a mark in his rookie season - so much so that finishing first in the Rookie of the Year voting is not worth bragging about;

As a sophomore, he won the championship and was elected FMVP, which completely separated him from his peers.

Fortunately, third grader Lu Wuxia did not go any further.

However, Lu Wuxia, who is in fourth grade, is coming in a menacing way.

Putting aside the fact that he was selected for the second time, when others began to sigh "I did not live up to my talent" as soon as they entered the third team, he has already entered the MVP discussion.

In fact, as the Generation of Miracles gradually enter/approach the 30-year-old mark, their dominance of major awards has also significantly declined.

Especially this year, the MVP award, which has been monopolized by members of the Generation of Miracles for the past seven years, is now expected to have a new owner.

Lu Wuxia is the most popular candidate.

This is why it is difficult for his classmates to brag about themselves, because having such a roll king in the same class is really stressful.

The MVP selection will begin before the conference finals, and the Eastern Conference semifinals between the Celtics and Cavaliers will be held against this background.

Louis insisted on flawlessly doubling James in the game to reflect the gap between the two. Although he succeeded in the second game, he was robbed by the league.

That's okay, the series isn't over yet anyway, just one more game and it's over.

However, Louis also knows that although the mediocre statistics of doubling kills sound good when told, if you really want to leave a deep impression on the fans, you have to produce terrifying statistics.

Therefore, how to set up a stage for Wuxia has become a problem.

The Celtics' starting lineup tonight is: Lu Wuxia, Ginobili, Dunleavy, Kirilenko and Pau Gasol, who has successfully lost weight.

Yao Yueban was not rested.

According to the Celtics, Yao Yueban suddenly felt soreness in his calf during training. To be on the safe side, they only signed him up and let him play if he was really unsteady on the court.

This is the Celtics' external rhetoric, and only they themselves know the details.

The reason why Louis starts with this set is because he hopes that no one on the field can affect the flawless data.

If he wasn't afraid of making it too obvious, he would even want Gasol to be a substitute.

Tonight, Wu Xia will stand in the core position of holding the ball and exert his full strength.

This is Louis' formation based on the memory of his previous life.

The ball-handling core who impressed Louis deeply in his previous life was James Harden in 2018 and 2019. If he remembers correctly, Harden had a terrifying triple-double of 60+10+10 during this period⑴.

A team that lacks talent must play around a core with the ball, and the basic configuration is three shots and one pie.

At the extreme point, you can shoot from all directions, but under the framework of four shots, the space is open enough, and the pressure and impact on the defensive formation are insufficient.

Since entering the NBA, Lu Wuxia has never had such an opportunity.

On the Cavaliers side, James was obviously stimulated by his double-digit statistics in the last game. When he came up tonight, his desire to attack was astonishing.

Anyone who knows James knows that his strongest moments are when he only focuses on his personal performance.

Tonight, he showed the Celtics a legal three-step layup 2+1.

Kirilenko dissatisfied and told the referee that the Emperor had walked.

The referee didn't even look at him.

Louis rolled his eyes at the Russian, "Andre, do you want to see whose home court is here? He can obviously hold the ball and go straight to the basket. He only takes three steps to deserve you!"

Then, the Cavaliers' flawless defense on the road can also be clearly seen as focused.

Just like the Celtics used shooting and not rushing against James, the Cavaliers did the opposite with Lu Flawless.

However, even if the Cavaliers let Kang Chengbiao guard Lu Wuxia personally, it would still be difficult to guard against his shots.

Because Lu Wuxia did not seek to solve the battle one-on-one at all, but frequently used pick-and-rolls at the fifth position to get rid of the defense.

In the opening two rounds, Lu Wuxia first hit the ground to feed Gasol, and then grabbed the defensive rebound given up by his teammates and pushed it into the frontcourt to shoot a chasing three-pointer.

That chasing three-pointer can be said to be the foreshadowing of the entire game.

Lu Wuxia's hand slipped when he lifted the ball. The whole shot didn't look smooth, but he still made it.

That was the reflection of his touch that day. Even if his shooting rhythm was disrupted by a slip, he could still hit a three-pointer.

Then, the Cavaliers, who were counting on James to retaliate, were disappointed.

James wants to attack without distraction, but the Celtics have to give him a choice.

When he dribbles to the frontcourt, Lu Wuxia gives him space to shoot. Do you want to shoot?

When he drives to the basket with the ball, he has a strong enemy in front of him, a pursuer behind him, and Kirilenko on the wing, who is ready to go. Think about it from another angle, if the Celtics use three people to guard you

, it means there are two teammates who are open, do you want to pass?

Over and over again, James could neither focus on his personal performance nor drive his teammates' offense.

And Lu Wuxia...he was like playing in heaven.

He can do whatever he wants defensively, and there are people around him to help him defend, and he doesn't have to get stuck when grabbing rebounds. He has teammates to help him get stuck.

The only thing he needs to focus on is offense.

What's the most fun thing about a ball game? Of course it's scoring.

What kind of enjoyment would it be if there were only offensive aspects in a basketball game?

Lu Wuxia came to the frontcourt and called Dunleavy to pick and roll.

This time, the Cavaliers didn't want to let him miss the opportunity, so they decisively left Dunleavy open and flanked him.

However, Lu Wuxia directly stepped outside the defensive range with a Kobe-style "Muse" and quickly took a shot half a meter away from the three-point line.

"Uh-huh!

!”

"How should I put it?" Lu Wuxia paid a friendly "salute" to his opponent, "Your defense is so ruthless, I'm so stressed!"

Then, Dunleavy shouted: "Wish! Don't pass the ball to an open teammate just because the coach is your dad!"

"Their defense is too good and they can't pass the ball!"

"Shit!"

"Cazzo! Don't say bad words!"

James is getting more and more angry. He is also playing in the playoffs. Why is Wish so happy?

The Cavaliers regard this game as a life and death battle related to the survival of the season. What is the attitude of the Celtics?

Oh, my center forward's legs and feet are sore and he may not be able to play. Anyway, I'm just playing with you.

What kind of anti-Christ joke are you making??!

From the sidelines, Louis felt that the Cavaliers' defensive strategy was a bit awkward.

In other words, the coaching staff's reaction was several beats too slow.

In Wu Xia's state tonight, Kang Chengbiao really shouldn't be allowed to continue to compete.

Kang Chengbiao is indeed the strongest defensive player on the Cavaliers, but his strength is for the entire defensive system. What is the difference between letting him directly confront the Celtics' strongest point and sending a big sandbag to punch people?

Moreover, moving Kang Chengbiao to the top of the arc to face Lu Wuxia also wastes his ability to sweep and switch defenses. This is just like the Warriors in the years when the Warriors faced off against the Cavaliers. They simply abandoned the defensive system and asked Green to defend James face to face.

In less than one quarter, Lu Wuxia handed over the results that completely defeated Kang Chengbiao, forcing the Cavaliers to change their defensive strategy.

As for the Cavaliers, James has greatly increased his personal offense, just like the media wants him to do, taking bold shots even if he feels bad.

After one quarter, James scored 10 points on 4 of 11 shots, but opposite him, Lu Wuxia scored 15 points on 6 of 8 shots in a single quarter.

The main offensive difference is also the score difference between the two sides.

After the first quarter, 34 to 29, the Celtics led by 5 points.

⑴Louis’s time travel is in 2020, so he has never seen Dongzi’s 60+20+10.
