the rest, only noise

Chapter 1564
There is basically nothing worth summarizing about the game against the Clippers.

In the second day's video analysis meeting, Louis didn't even mention the Clippers, and directly put the time that should have been used for the replay game on the pre-game preparations against the Lakers.

The Celtics will play back-to-back games against the Lakers tonight.

This is their first back-to-back of the new season.

Generally speaking, Louis likes the schedule the league has arranged for them. There is pressure in the early stage but the opponent's intensity is low, the mid-term is tense, and the later stage is easy but the opponent's intensity is high.

This kind of schedule is beneficial, because the team is often in the best state at the end of the season. At that time, playing against a large number of strong teams can not only ensure the quality of the game, but also evaluate the strength of the competitors in the playoffs. Find out.

As for the back-to-back arrangement for the Clippers and the Lakers, it is simply the easiest back-to-back in the NBA.

Because the home courts of the two teams are Los Angeles, and the two teams share a home court, the Celtics only need to prepare for the Lakers at the same pace as they prepare for the Clippers.

After several wonderful operations by the management, the Lakers got rid of Rasheed Wallace this summer and ushered in the obviously degraded Chris Webber.

Compared with Wallace, Webber, who has experienced a serious injury, has retired from the ranks of superstars, but he is more suitable for the Lakers than the former, because he doesn't cause much trouble, and he has ecstasy support. He is very suitable as a high-level support point to help Paul share the organizational pressure. .

Except for Webber, the Lakers' basic set remained unchanged. They built an offensive and defensive system around Kobe, who had reached his peak, and fully absorbed the core ideas of the "whale fall" tactic in the "beautiful basketball" system of Louis's period. The "whale" system allowed Kobe to average 32 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists per game this season.

Some observers believe that if Kobe didn't have four teammates who averaged double figures per game, relying on the "whale" system to average 37 points per game would not be a problem.

"The level of the Lakers is far higher than that of the Clippers. I believe you are ready to deal with difficulties." Louis said, looking flawless, "Wish, can you play the same performance against the Lakers in the last game?"

Lu Wuxia looked at his teammates around him: "What do you think?"

Ginobili is well versed in the art of killing: "It's okay to be small, Chris Paul can't guard you at all."

Yao Yueban took it for granted: "As a junior, I'm good everywhere, but I'm a little short, so it's really hard to match Wuxia."

Lu Wuxia heard many uncles say that the loyal father likes fishing before the game the most.

Now he asks you with a friendly face if you can fight well. If you fight well, he will continue to play nicely. If you don’t fight well, he will change his face faster than Stanley (the protagonist of "Mask in Mask").

Moreover, he really can't boast about the performance of the Lakers, because the Lakers themselves have many perimeter players with excellent defense.

Paul himself is the biggest anti-example of "short height = poor defense". Kobe has been selected as the first defense all the year round, and Artest is the first wing single defender in active service.

No matter what kind of heart the honest old man has, Lu Wuxia will not bite the hook, "You guys know me, I have never valued personal statistics, as long as I can win, it doesn't matter whether I perform well, the important thing is to win."

Some correct nonsense is unquestionable as long as it is said.

Seeing that his son didn't bite the hook, Louis had to look at the others, "Listen, in the game against the Lakers, the shooting percentage from the outside will be the key. It just so happens that some of the most accurate shooters in the league are on our team. What do you have?" Are you sure you can shoot through the Lakers net tomorrow night?"

"Leave it on me!" Wally Szczerbiak, eager to express himself, yelled.

Louis nodded slightly, expressing satisfaction with Szczerbiak's reaction, and then glanced at "American Jay Chou". Unexpectedly, although this buddy is a fourth-year player like Wuxia, he is very calm and has not been provoked at all. Come with a firm gaze.

There is no comparison between this look and Szczerbiak's response, but if the two of them turned into Boston blacksmiths tomorrow night, Szczerbiak would be scolded and Korver would be ignored because Louis can't always say to him, "You're a fucking dog and still staring at me like that!!!?".

After that, Louis simply arranged for tomorrow's matchup.

Lu Wuxia found out that he was going to face Kobe on the defensive end.

What kind of counterpoint is this?
Although he is two meters tall, he is a point guard. How can he match up with Kobe?He should be facing Paul!
Looking at his son's resentful eyes, Louis asked him back: "Unless you want to play against Ron Artest, I believe Manu is very willing to exchange opponents with you."

Compared with Kobe, Artest is the defender that Lu Wuxia does not want to meet.

Kobe can only be said to be a mad dog-type single-hander, which is extremely oppressive to the ball holder, but Artest is Hanaoka Shita on the court-the famous actor in the "Husband Please Forgive" series- The viciousness and ferocity of wanting to infringe on the opponent six times per game are vividly expressed in him.

In fact, the person Lu Wuxia most wanted to play against was Paul.

Although Paul defends very well, but his height is limited, it is really difficult to defend him.

However, if he doesn't go against Kobe, should he let Szczerbiak go?
With Szczerbiak's ability to resist pressure, it is a high probability that Kobe's defense will misfire.

Of course, you can’t blame Szczerbiak for being soft. If you want to blame it, you can blame the Lakers. Why are there so many defensive players? If you don’t know, you think it’s to prove that the Knicks dynasty is orthodox in the Lakers. You can’t prove it even if you want to prove it. Ah, which plane of the Knicks dynasty has a player like Weber inside?

What, you mean last year's Knicks?Can the kind of team that can't find a single defensive player be regarded as the successor of the Knicks dynasty?Cut, all cut!

After the alignment is determined, it can be said that each has its own worries, but basically it will not change.

A day later, the Celtics came to Staples Center 90 minutes early.

Lu Wuxia met Kobe.

"You've been in good shape recently." Kobe is different from other NBA superstars who have been training with Wuxia. He is only 6 years older than Wuxia, so the relationship between them is more like a big brother and a younger brother.

Lu Wuxia asked expectantly: "So you will defend me yourself?"

Kobe's answer made Lu Wuxia fall into the ice cave: "If you can blow Ron off, I will guard you."

Offense against Artest, defense against Kobe?
The strongest spear and the strongest shield of the Lakers have greeted him?
Lu Wuxia finally felt the deep intentions of the disloyal father. If this was not designed purely, no one would believe it.

Moreover, Lu Wuxia also thought of something deeper.

If he behaved badly tonight, would Unfaithful Daddy have an excuse to take him down?
Cazzo!Don't do that kind of thing!
Thinking of this, Lu Wuxia was instantly full of fighting spirit.

When the time came to the evening, the fans entered the stadium one after another.

When the two sides were warming up, the Lakers played Louie's tribute video on the big screen.

And, Jim Buss announced in the video that in order to thank Louis for his six-year contribution to the Lakers, the team will retire a jersey for him next season.

The repercussions that this incident caused among the fans were not questions, but cheers.

Although Louis' tenure with the Lakers was only six short years, during these six years, he won four consecutive championships for the team, established a dynasty, and ended the curse of the century that the Lakers could not beat the Celtics in the Finals. He even selected a five-man team as great as the Generation of Miracles... As of today, it has been six years since he left Los Angeles, but his legacy still deeply affects the Lakers.

Whether it's the height of the peak or the long-lasting influence, it's worth the Lakers retiring a jersey for Louis.

Since there was no prior notice, this incident really surprised Louis.

However, in addition to being pleasantly surprised, Louie couldn't help thinking, if he led the Celtics to hammer the Lakers again in the finals, would they change their minds?

This is not without lessons learned. Didn't he get booed by Celtics fans when he returned to Boston Garden in a purple suit?
However, Louis doesn't think so much now.

After the warm-up ended, the live DJ announced the starting lineups of the two teams, and then the Celtics' starting players gathered around Louis.

"'Whale swallowing' is a very monotonous tactic, remember the plan we agreed on before, make a good target, make a good start, and also, shoot a three-pointer into the basket." Louie shouted, "Let's go! "
