The rest is just noise

If Wu Xia's injury was not a grade one sprain, but the grade two sprain Durant suffered during the 2019 Western Conference Finals, then Louis would never agree to let him return in the Finals.

Even if you want to come back, you must protect Wuxia in place.

First of all, Louis needs to wait until the day of the fifth game to see how Wu Xia recovers from his injury.

The Celtics have bad luck with injuries, but they have good luck with the schedule.

There were three days between the fourth and fifth games. It was considered a few days of rest. Lu Wuxia had the shortest rest time for a first-degree sprain.

Three days passed in a flash. In the morning, Lu Wuxia participated in five-on-five confrontation training, demonstrating a number of technical movements that tested the lower limbs, such as straight-line acceleration, lateral movement defense, and quick sliding steps to assist defense.

Judging from his performance, except for the lateral movement being a bit stiff, there is no problem with sliding and running in a straight line.

Lu Wuxia reported that he didn't have much feeling in his right ankle now, as if the ankle was not his.

This made Louis worried again.

However, the team doctor said this is a normal reaction after a sprain.

Louis was skeptical of the diagnosis.

Because the team doctor’s initial diagnosis of Brandon Royce’s knee pain was the same—it was a normal reaction.

Isn’t it a normal reaction to have sequelae caused by poor postoperative recovery?

But if it was really normal, he shouldn't feel pain.

After feeling the boss's distrust of him, the team doctor said seriously: "Stiffness in the injured area is a necessary stage for almost every patient. Wish's recovery speed is recovering quickly, but for the sake of safety, his best

The comeback time should be the sixth game."

Louis nodded slightly, he thought so too.

"He won't agree." Louis sighed, "Besides, I have agreed to let him come back."

The team doctor immediately said: "If Wish must come back, for the sake of safety, it is best not to let him play the No. 1 position."

"you mean…"

"If he plays the No. 1 position, he will inevitably have to make a lot of dribbling changes. These movements put a great burden on the lower limbs and are unnecessary for him now."

"However, if he plays the second position, he also needs to run a lot..."

The team doctor said: "After Wish's injury, his ability to move in a straight line has not been affected. His straight up and down running and acceleration have little impact on him."

The question is, where are there so many straight running paths?

Almost every successful movement requires a sharp turn. Does a sudden stop and lane change under fast movement place less load on the lower limbs than changing direction while holding the ball?

After Louis thought about it, the safest way was still not to let him come back, but since he had already agreed, there was no reason to break his promise.

After the training that day, Lu Wuxia's condition made his teammates look forward to his comeback.

It was at that time that Louis knew that Wu Xia had to make a comeback.

It is the basic quality of a leader to not leave the line of fire even if he is slightly injured.

If the boss of the team encounters some minor problems and just stops playing, the cohesion of the team, the dedication of the players, and the so-called collective sense of honor of aiming for the championship will be completely diluted.

It's a very simple truth. How much do you earn in a month? How much do other people earn in a month? Those with the maximum salary will have to deal with minor injuries. Can't other people learn to love themselves more?

The flawless comeback indirectly helped Louis solve his morale problem and boosted the team's morale.

"Are you really good at it? Your lateral steps look weird." Ginobili asked with a smile, "Don't push yourself too hard."

Lu Wuxia raised his eyebrows and said provocatively: "The past one and a half games have proven that you really need me!"

"Mike!" Louis just said for his wife, "No swearing."

"Okay, coach."

Subsequently, Louis arranged tonight's starting lineup and matchups.

Lu Wuxia looks the same as usual, playing as a point guard and a combo guard, but his main job is to dribble the ball through half the court.

After halftime, the ball was handed to Ginobili, who took an empty-handed screen from a 45-degree angle inside and positioned himself in a low-key position.

The position on the offensive end is considered to be a support, and the defensive end is opposite Yingodala.

The Suns' starting backcourt and forwards are too luxurious, and Louis can't find an opponent that can be easily dealt with by Wu Xia. Ying Guodala already has the roughest offensive ability among the starting players.

"Coach, why do you want me to face Ying Guodala? This is not challenging at all. I want to face KG!"

Louis looked at him in astonishment.

"What's wrong?"

Louis said: "I now seriously suspect that you sprained not your right foot, but the nerve center."

"Just kidding..."

"I've never heard Paul say this joke." Louis looked at the overly tough man from the previous game. "Paul, what do you think of tonight's game? Although you proved your ability in the last game.

You are not afraid of KG, but it is not enough to not be afraid of KG. What we need is that you are not afraid of KG and can also perform in front of him."

Gasol looked at Louis seriously: "What performance?"

Before Louis could say anything, Wu Xia spoke first: "Actually, it doesn't mean that I have to take advantage of KG. After Tim loses weight, he will be the league's number one defender. Don't talk about you, it's our captain who is here

He can't even get any advantage."

Xiao Chi Lao, I know a lot about farming, I’m averaging almost 30 points per game...

Yao Yue half wanted to be refined and easy-going but stopped.

"However, our captain has gone to college. Unlike KG, a learning disabled person who chose to participate in the draft early because he could not go to college, he knows how to avoid his sharp edges and use his own strengths. He can shoot, pick and roll.

, looking for mismatches and attacking small ones, these are areas that KG cannot reach."

"you mean……"

"That's right, we don't have to go head-to-head with KG. There are better ways. For example, you can also shoot mid-range shots, or you can create offensive opportunities through high pick-and-rolls. Moreover, you have an advantage that even the captain does not have.

.”

Gasol looked at Lu Wuxia with an expression of all ears.

"You have a pair of skillful hands and can pass the ball." Lu Wuxia said quietly, "Since our coach thinks that I have not fully recovered yet, so he puts me in such a weak position on the offensive end, you should pay more attention to me.

I believe that Yingodala will not stay with me in the bottom corner. As long as we play an excellent offense, he will definitely leave me to help defend the inside. By then..."

Yao Yue half teased: "We can just appreciate your heroic act of missing open shots?"

"Cazzo!" Lu Wuxia shouted, "I'm going to give the Suns a hard lesson for daring to leave me open!"

Louis can clearly feel that the flawless return has calmed the team.

Everyone is no longer confused and doubtful.

Moreover, his optimism and positive spirit also infected his teammates.

Injuries are no longer an issue.

Being beaten by the Suns twice in a row is no longer a problem.

Even Kevin Garnett, who had the Celtics inside helpless, was no longer a problem.

Now, they can focus on tonight's game and be confident in the outcome.

US Airway ter

Before the game, the Celtics changed Lu Wuxia's status from truce to doubtful.

This incident sparked heated discussion on TNT TV station.

Kenny Smith thinks: Louis, the old scumbag, is lying again.

Charles Barkley: You know what the heck, since this is the arrangement, Wish will come back 100%!

From the time Lu Wuxia was injured to today, it only took six days, which can barely be regarded as the fastest recovery time for a first-degree sprain.

But will such luck really fall to the Celtics?

Even if he comes back, will Lu Wuxia be in full condition?

No one would believe that Lu Wuxia was still in the same form as in the first two games.

Even Lu Wuxia's biological father didn't think that this kid could find the feeling of the game quickly.

However, in the last three minutes of the pre-match warm-up, Lu Wuxia aggressively expressed his desire to monopolize the use of the court.

So the other teammates stopped warming up and watched eagerly as he warmed up with Kobe-style shooting alone.

What is Kobe's shooting warm-up? It's very simple. From the basket to the three-point line, one step at a time, the hollow shot is valid. If you shoot continuously all the way to the three-point line, start from the outside in reverse, from far to near.

This kind of shooting warm-up with extremely fine control of distance can reflect the player's current shooting feeling.

The touch that Lu Wuxia presented made people feel scared.

He didn't just hit the ball in the air. When he hit the ball, it was just right and the force was unbiased. The ball barely touched the net, and all accurately spun to the center of the basket and then landed.

"If I were the coach of the Suns and saw this, I would let go of the other Celtics players and not give Wish an open spot."

Barkley said wildly, "Of course, I'm not a coach. Some people think I'm unprofessional, so they will give Wish vacancies like the Suns did tonight. Who said he has just returned from injury? This is what I have been saying,

More than 75% of head coaches are idiots, and they are a stumbling block that restricts the team from going further!"

Big Mouth Smith provoked: "Where is Coach Lu? Is he an idiot?"

"Kenny, I can't believe you would say this. Coach Lu is different from others!" Barkley brazenly boasted, "There are only two kinds of coaches in the world, one is Coach Lu, and the other is Coach Lu."

It's someone else! Coach Lu is not just a coach, he is a person who redefines coaching, he is the god of coaching!"

Not to mention Kenny Smith, even if Louis were to come to the scene in person, he would probably have to step forward and cover Barkley's mouth to stop him from beeping a few words.

You can just put some flattery in your stomach and digest it naturally with donuts. If you have to say it out, you are shameless and others will be ashamed.
