the rest, only noise

Chapter 1532 The Son of God
For some reason, Lu Wuxia became the most popular player in the 2003 class.

Although this year's rookies were hyped before the election, but after the start of the season, not many were closely watched by the media.

LeBron James, who has received the most attention, has lived up to his reputation. He has performed well since he first entered the league. If the team is not a little weaker, he may be able to do more in his rookie season.

It's just that although James lived up to expectations, he was obviously a bit too fart.

After the first month of his career, James bought a new car.

Buying a new car is not a big deal, it is his license plate that makes James criticized.

James' license plate is not serious, it says "KNGJMS".

As we all know, "KING JAMES" is James' nickname. Since he became famous, he has run rampant in the basketball world like a king. However, writing his nickname into the license plate can show to some extent that he really regards himself as a king. .

This ego made James look arrogant, and the public's favor with him declined.

Another high-profile potential star, Darko Milicic, averaged 11 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks per game in the Suns, but soon suffered an injury.

As a genuine European bumpkin, he indulged in Phoenix's major nightclubs while recuperating from his injury.

When Milicic got into a fight with someone in a nightclub while he was injured, he took advantage of the opportunity to win the headlines of the first scandal in the 03 session, and his low favorability dropped to freezing point.

Another famous rookie, Carmelo Anthony, lost some of his character in the incident against the Clippers, but what made his reputation take a turn for the worse was smoking cigarettes on the plane with several other teammates.

The move got him suspended for three games by the Jazz.

Jerry Sloan asked him to apologize to the team.

Compared with them, Lu Wuxia vividly explained what it means "as long as I don't do anything outside the court, I can't make any mistakes".

In terms of faults, Lu Wuxia is not without faults at all.

A lot of players have complained that he likes to talk too much trash.

Moreover, Lu Wuxia's trash talk is not the kind of Xiasanlu who specializes in the matriarchal line of the family, but a "good-natured joke".

Fans obviously don't resent players talking trash on the court.

Because of his handsome appearance, kindness to the fans, good relationship with the media, no messy negative news, and a legendary father, he is simply the chosen one among the chosen ones.

No, Wish doesn't need to be called the "Son of God" because he was called the "Son of God" when he was 15 years old.

In this way, what Lu Wuxia needs to do to become the most popular player this year is to maintain a stable performance on the court.

Time entered 2004, and the new task Larry Bird faced was to balance the distribution of ball rights between Lu Wuxia and Parker.

This matter is not as simple as "you two can figure it out".

Because ball handlers always want to have the ball, it's impossible to expect them to share possession unselfishly.

Bird knew very well that if things continued like this, sooner or later Lu Wuxia would make greater demands on the possession of the ball. At that time, there would be conflicts between Parker and him.

This brings Bird to the story of Norm Nixon and the magician.

Fortunately, this is a trouble in the future, and Bird doesn't have to worry about it now.

Moreover, Lu Wuxia currently does not reject playing off the ball.

In fact, it was Lu Wuxia's openness to off-ball offense that made the Celtics' chemistry get better and better after the start of the new year.

Lu Wuxia discovered that he could do no less without the ball than with the ball.

And, off the ball, he can see the big picture more clearly.

The two years of technical reform in high school were the most difficult two years in Lu Wuxia's basketball career so far. He gave up his dominant style of play for better skills.

Lu Wuxia's last two years of high school were regarded as "slow progress" due to technological improvements.

Although the final success of the technical transformation allowed him to reap the rewards at the university level, Lu Wuxia still didn't know the purpose of his father letting him watch Jordan and Bird's game video.

Because Bird and Jordan's style of play doesn't match him very well, although their style of play is very simple, their court positioning is completely different from each other.

Since Lu Wuxia started playing off the ball, he became fascinated by what Bird and Jordan did in the game.

He wondered how much a player could do off the ball.

So, he began to look through the game videos that had been thrown into the old warehouse.

He learned from Bird and Jordan's game, found the rhythm of running off the ball and catch-and-shoot after the ball, developed the ability to play off the ball, and tried to use a lot of touch-and-pass skills like Bird did. Let the conduction ball become smoother and faster.

In mid-January, the Celtics challenged the Cavaliers away. That was the first career confrontation between Lu Wuxia and James.

Due to the obvious gap in lineup strength between the two sides, the outcome of the game is not important.

What everyone pays attention to is the positive dialogue between these two proud sons of heaven.

James played well, scoring 32 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists.

But his stats were ridiculed by Lu Wuxia.

"Bron, this stat is meaningless, look at mine."

Lu Wuxia's data seemed to be arranged in advance.

In the game that night, the Celtics' inside players chose to block for rebounds one after another, making way for the whole night's statistics, and finally scored 30 points, 20 rebounds and 10 assists.

Lu Wuxia scored a neat large triple-double that made headlines and helped the team achieve a double-digit advantage.

"I didn't expect that I would grab so many rebounds." Lu Wuxia said after the game, "I would like to thank my teammates. Their selflessness made me who I am tonight."

Although he is only a freshman, Lu Wuxia is already the leader of the Celtics.

Because he likes to play off the ball, Parker can maintain his original style of play.

Because he developed off-the-ball support, Bird's focus on blocking and cutting tactics has been maximized, and Gerald Wallace and Carlos Boozer have been taken away.The former just rushes to the basket to eat cakes, while the latter only needs to pick and roll to pull the kite.

Coupled with the rare precocity of Lu Wuxia's shooting skills, he unlocked the achievement of the hot spot in the half court in his rookie season, and shot 39% of the three-pointers, creating a good performance for Yao Yueban and Gasol in singles. Space.

This is what he does off the ball.

When he starts to hold the ball, the Celtics game becomes a show, especially with Manu Ginobili, everyone will be very happy, except teammates who can't catch the rumors and be played like a monkey opponent.

In the end, Lu Wuxia ended his rookie season with an average of 18 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists per game.

在他的帮助下，姚月半以每场30分钟的出场时间攻下22分9篮板2助攻2盖帽。

Lu Wuxia and Yao Yueban's pick-and-roll tactics are the Celtics' trump card at critical moments.

In addition, Gasol's scoring has dropped compared to before, with only 15 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. This is mainly because rookies such as Lu Wuxia and Wade shared the pressure and statistics.

In addition, Parker, Wade, and Ginobili all averaged double-digit points per game. The Celtics are like a tiger on the mountain. Under the leadership of Bird, they have the second record in the league-65 wins and 17 losses.

"Let's get serious about one thing -- is Wish the MVP of the season?" wrote Bob Ryan of the Boston Globe. The special people's winning percentage was less than 79.3% last season. Now, their winning percentage is as high as [-]%. I admit that Yao played the performance of the league's top center, and he finally began to realize his talent. The rise of Manu Ginobili also makes Amazing, but would these things have happened without Wish?"

"If your answer is yes, then Wish probably shouldn't be the MVP. If no, then a player who improved his team's winning percentage by nearly 30 percent and made all his teammates better than they were last season." Player, shouldn't he be the MVP of the season?"
