the rest, only noise

Chapter 1396 That's it

In November, the new NBA season started, and while the Lakers storm swept the United States, Louis' son Lu Wuxia, as a highly anticipated basketball genius, caused a sensation in the Adidas training camp.

In the AAU era, talented athletes are hard to hide.

People like Lu Wuxia who became famous at a young age never lack attention.

Not long ago, when Lu Wuxia announced that he would jump to the ninth grade, it sparked some discussions, but these discussions have never been as intense as these days.

Adidas U16 training camp, the players invited to participate are all the elites of the younger age group.

Lu Wuxia was a special invite. He is not yet 13 years old, but he has made his mark in a training camp full of 15-16-year-old demons.

Even here, with a height of 190 centimeters, Lu Wuxia has a clear advantage in playing the No. [-] position. What is surprising is that his skills are mature and his game awareness is excellent, which made some old scouts say "one in a million "Sentiments.

"He's the youngest player in this camp, and he's not affected by his age at all. In the four games he's played, he's averaged almost a triple-double, and he's been like Magic, Larry Bird, and Benj. combination."

Lu Wuxia's wonderful performance in the training camp made him the protagonist of the new "Sports Illustrated" classic article series "The Highlight of the Crowd".

When the training camp ended, Lu Wuxia missed the training camp MVP by a few votes, but beat Zhongying and was selected to the best team.

A 13-year-old would-be ninth-grader making the All-NBA team at a camp dominated by 16-year-old seniors means a lot.

"Sports Illustrated" decided to publish a personal feature article for Lu Wuxia, and sent its signed writer Alexander Wolf to Sunset Villa with great fanfare for an interview.

At that time, the Lakers had just won their first ten consecutive games.

Louis does not support Pictorial to promote Wuxia so much.

Even if we want to make stars, it's too early now.

For a 13-year-old child, no one knows what his future will be like.

Louie has always been conservative about his son's future.

Because as long as his views are conservative enough, even if his son is not promising in the future, he will not be disappointed.

He has never had such a thing as looking forward to his son becoming a dragon. Even if his son becomes a worm in the future, that would be fine. Wouldn't it be a pity that no one would lose such a big family business?
It's just, it seems like every professional believes that the future of Flawless is in the NBA.

Perhaps Lu Wuxia's own father is the person who dislikes him the most in the world?

Louis accepted Wolf's exclusive interview with some small emotions.

A single question from Wolfe made him laugh.

"Coach Lu, I want to know the origin story of the nickname 'The Son of God'."

This is a good question, which relieved Louis' dissatisfaction a lot.

Wolfe reminded Louis of the good memories when he carried his son home and discussed what nickname he would get after that.

The interview lasted an hour.

Wolfe had a lot of problems, and Louis and him were old friends, and once they chatted, they didn't have any scruples.

In the end, Louis hopes that this article will not make predictions about Flawless's future, but just focus on introducing him and his family.

"That's why I wrote this article," Wolf said.

Louis felt that he could trust Wolfe.

Despite their relationship as friends, Wolff is not just a basketball-focused sportswriter.

He is a sports expert with a lot of experience in the sports industry, and his writing tends to be serious and documentary.

The article that impressed Louis the most was an article he wrote in 1986, boasting that to Americans at that time, China was no different from an alien civilization (it should be said, it is still the same now).

What is he bragging about?At that time, the four major sports leagues in the United States were in trouble, with suspensions and strikes. Most sports writers were blaming this chaos of greed. Only Wolf found another way and put China in front of the stage. The article describes the potential of this world power with an overwhelming population advantage if it concentrates on sports.

Although the full text is full of whimsical assumptions, it is still novel, but no one paid attention to it at the time.

Afterwards, Louis remained focused on his work.

After the start of the season, the Lakers won ten consecutive victories, including the opening game against the Trail Blazers, averaging 15 points per game.

Wilson, Garnett, and Bodi Loga made headlines twice in three days.

The surprise brought by Bodi Loga even surpassed Duncan.

Because in such a star-studded team, Duncan is not eye-catching.

He scored 18 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks per game. He seemed effortless. He had the power of an All-Defensive Team selection on the defensive end, but the statistics were not impressive. Very calm and not eye-catching at all.

On the contrary, Bodi Loga is far better than expected.

So far this season, they have all started, averaging 30 points, 16 rebounds and 7 assists in less than 10 minutes per game.

Magic Johnson, who works for NBC, always says how much Bodi Loga looks like himself every time he explains the Lakers game.

Although his English is not good and his personality is very unruly, Bodi Loga quickly became the darling of Los Angeles. Even Garnett envied him when he got soft deals in advertisements and endorsements.

Envy and jealousy are actually only a foot apart. Garnett took it for granted that Bodi Loga is popular because he likes to show off in games.

Why can't he do this?
As a result, Garnett's turnover numbers skyrocketed and his personal temper became more and more irritable.

In the most recent game, after Garnett scored 8 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, Louis chose to let him take a truce for an adjustment. By the way, Charles Barkley, who had successfully lost weight, completed his season debut.

In the away game against the Grizzlies on November 11, Barkley played as the starting four.

Although he had been away for ten games, Barkley played the effect everyone wanted to see as soon as he came on the court.

Duncan's cooperation with him is no worse than Garnett.

In 20 minutes of playing time, Barkley scored like drinking water, scored 22 points and 6 rebounds, and shot nearly 100%.

At this time, someone finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

How should the Lakers choose between the three frontcourt players Garnett, Barkley and Duncan?
"The Lakers have the most powerful frontcourt trio in NBA history. The question is, how will Legend Lu balance their playing time?"

Louis' approach is to borrow pigs to beat wolves.

He spent half an hour chasing Garnett in the video analysis room with highlights from Barkley's season debut.

"This year is your contract year!" Louie finally said, "If you want to get an ideal contract extension at the end of the season, you'd better think about how you should play, otherwise, just go to the bench!"

Garnett was as quiet as a cicada.

"Coach, can't I go back to the starting lineup?" Barkley didn't expect that his starting lineup was really lost.

Louis rolled his eyes at him, "A person who can't even control his weight, why do you start?"

"Coach, you have to understand me. I've been aggrieved all these years. I finally won the championship. I don't have to be judged anymore. I can't help but indulge a bit. Don't I lose it back now? "Barkley said unwillingly, "At least give me a chance to compete fairly!"

Louie initially wanted to play three frontcourt starts, among which Barkley was a pseudo-starter, and he would be replaced after a few minutes of each game, and he would start again after the transition period, so that Barkley would have face, and Garnett and Duncan would not be affected. To wrong Liu Yuqing.

Barkley's fatness disrupted Louie's plan.

What he didn't even expect was that Barkley was so motivated that he actually lost weight for him.

"Originally you were our starter, but you messed up my plan by eating and drinking, and now you ask me for a chance to compete fairly?" Louis asked, "If I give you fairness, how can I give it to others? What about the fairness of the guy who keeps training and staying in shape during the offseason?"

No matter how thick-skinned Barkley was, he couldn't refute Louis. He looked at Garnett helplessly, "Jasmine, you entered the league under my watch, and I teach you a lot on weekdays."

"Chuck, I'm not the one who took your starter!" Garnet said pointedly.

How can Barkley not know, but Duncan's strength is not clear to others, isn't he clear after watching it for so many days?This is a hard stubble, how can there be such a soft persimmon as Garnett!

Just when Barkley was about to say something, Duncan spoke up.

"Coach, I can compete fairly with Charles."

Louis looked at him in astonishment.

"Are you sure, Tim?"

"I have no problem."

Louis looked at Barkley and said with a smile, "That's it."
