the rest, only noise

good dad and bad dad

The Heat, who are also in the Eastern Conference, are dealing with the follow-up impact of Arenas' shooting, while the Celtics ushered in a regular season in peace.

Tonight, the Celtics' opponent is the Philadelphia 76ers who are in a state of confusion.

Philadelphia's confusion stems from a lack of competitiveness.

Although they have the No. 1 without a championship at the beginning of the new century-Shaquille O'Neal, who is also the league's No. [-] center in the past few years-but since Benjamin Wilson left the team a few years ago, no one sees Philadelphia as a championship-level team.

The reason is simple. It is not competitive to build a championship team around O'Neal as a single core.

Looking at the league, who is going to compete for the championship without a few brothers?As an individual on the court, although O'Neal has awesome strength and destructive power, but because of his inaccurate free throws, he is easy to be targeted at critical moments, plus the movement problem caused by his weight, and his own defensive habit of squatting over the years, making him easy to become a loophole on the defensive end when all strong teams have mature pick-and-roll offenses and ball-handlers.

Although O'Neill had a hard mouth and liked to complain about his bad luck, Charles Barkley had his own way of educating him.

"Some people always complain that they don't have good teammates, but they don't know that he is the only player who has been teammates with Benj for three years but has never won a championship."

Barkley's words can't be described as cruel.

The three-year failure to cooperate with O'Neal is a big black point for Wilson, but it is also a black point for O'Neal.In particular, Wilson won the championship directly after leaving O'Neal, which magnified O'Neal's problems.

In the game against the Celtics, O'Neal showed his old age in front of Yao Yueban.

At the same time, Lu Wuxia, as the core of the team, perfectly led the team to play the power of the SSOLTSOM system.

Whether playing fast or slow, the 76ers have no solution.

What really makes people feel that O'Neill's era is over is his several positive conversations with Yao Yueban.

Today's O'Neal has lost the athletic ability to push to the basket and finish violently like he did when he was young.

He needs to rely more on his weight and sexy close-to-the-basket hooks to score, and abuse of the basket under the basket has become an auxiliary means to prove "I'm not old yet".

And Yao Yueban interpreted a kaleidoscope of offensive skills.

Three-point pick-and-roll;

The pick-and-roll runs down and ends;

High spot catch and shoot;

Low back against O'Neal's left waist/right waist turn over jumper;

Small hooks close to the basket, big hooks outside the three-second zone, and even turning around and facing the basket to attack the basket, slam dunk like O'Neal.

In this battle, Yao Yueban ravaged the audience, scoring 39 points, 14 rebounds and 5 blocks, leading the team to a big victory over the 76ers.

After the game, China's "Sports Weekly" published an eye-catching headline - "Yao Sha vs.? Don't mention that word again, this era is over!"

Lu Wuxia has long been called the number one point guard in the league by the domestic media. Now, they want Yao Yueban to be the number one center forward.

In this era of withered centers, defeating O'Neal in a single game is indeed symbolic to Yao Yueban. Perhaps this is the key to his taking that step.

However, countless historical lessons have proved that to become the number one, not only hard power is required to pass the test, but also health is required.

In the Byrd era, Yao Yueban rested at least 12 games a season. Entering the Louis era, the protection was strengthened.

On the basis of resting at least 12 games per season, Louis also added a rule that Yao Yue should not play back-to-back.

However, even under such protection, Yao Yueban still cannot guarantee complete health.

Two days later, the Celtics played against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Yao Yueban maintained a fiery state and scored 27 points at halftime. However, this momentum came to an abrupt end at the beginning of the second half.

It was just an ordinary rebound scramble, but an accident happened the moment the player hit the ground.

Yao Yueban stepped on a teammate's foot and fell down on the spot.

Tom Heinsohn rants: "Where's our luck?!!"

Fortunately, Yao Yueban did not suffer a serious injury at the level of season reimbursement, but a second-degree sprained ankle will keep him absent for 4-6 weeks.

Louis said to the outside world: "We will continue to fight with the belief of the injured players."

"Wish needs to take on more."

With only 25 games left in the regular season, the Celtics aim to enter the playoffs with the league's No. [-] record.

When Yao Yueban is very likely to be reimbursed for the regular season, the Celtics need someone to take the lead in boosting morale.

The next day, the Celtics are about to embark on a difficult road trip.

During this journey, they will go to New York, Indiana and Phoenix respectively.

If one is not done well, it may suffer a three-game losing streak.

The first away game was New York, and before boarding the plane, Louie announced the night's starts.

Mike Dunleavy didn't expect to make the starting roster.

So did David Lee.

What surprised them even more was that the starting height was so short.

Although the average height is high, the absolute height is not enough.

Although the Knicks no longer have a dominant insider, is it really good not to have a high-level insider in front of Zach Randolph and Samuel Dalembert?

"Coach, I think Paul is more suitable to start than me." Xiao Li said soberly.

Louie laughed jokingly: "David, you are the first player I have seen who actively pushed the starting position out."

Mike Dunleavy joked: "Coach, if I had a rich dad like David, I wouldn't care if I started or came off the bench."

As soon as Dunleavy finished speaking, his teammates felt something was wrong.

"Mike, isn't your dad rich too?"

Dunleavy's father, Dunleavy Sr., is also a famous player in professional basketball. He has made a lot of money whether playing basketball or as a coach. It may not be as good as Xiao Li's father, but he is definitely not short of money.

In the end, Dunleavy smiled contemptuously: "Is there no one among you who is obviously rich but is stingy with his family? If not, don't you have such friends? That's right, my father is such a person."

After all, the second generation of the ball had a frustrated expression of "I can't chew the old at all" on his face.

At this time, Louis said: "Have I told you the behind-the-scenes story of Larry signing with the Celtics?"

When Louis said this, he was stunned for a moment.

For a moment, he felt like Auerbach at a luncheon.

The atmosphere at the scene became heated, and everyone asked questions one after another.

So, Louie told this group of players how Bird made a small bumpkin list for Auerbach after a few months of wrangling with the Celtics and before the rookie contract was about to be negotiated.

Everyone was surprised. They didn't expect Bird to have such a dark history.

After Louis finished telling the story, Lambiel said helplessly: "I am the most experienced when it comes to things like playing basketball for a living even though my father is rich. Mike, I can guarantee that my father is far more asshole than your father."

After Lambiel finished speaking, Dunleavy expressed dissatisfaction.

"I don't believe it, Bill, really, I don't."

"You don't believe it?" Lambiel made a face that wanted to vomit. "Although I am very respected in the professional basketball world, my dad has never looked down on me. His attitude towards basketball makes me feel that this is a terrible job. How dare you say that your dad is an asshole than mine?"

Lu Wuxia looked psychedelic.

He didn't know why he was living in a world where his father was more of an asshole.

However, Dunleavy was adamant that his dad was more of a jerk because — “I had a basketball game with my dad in high school where the bet was $500 and I won and guess what? Not only did he not pay me $500, he whipped me with a belt!”

Lambiel couldn't help but gasped, he didn't expect such an asshole father in the world.

"I lost, my father won't play tricks for this little money..."

"Okay, this is the end of the discussion about bad dads!" Louis stopped this negative energy topic, "Let's discuss about good dads, Wuxia, you come first."

Lu Wuxia said blankly, "Coach, there are no father and son at work."

"I told you to say it!"

So Wuxia told the story of his father giving him a luxury car when he graduated from high school. Sure enough, he envied all his teammates, but some people also shared the story of a good father who is not material but equally touching.

Louis was very satisfied with this, as a father, he loved hearing this kind of story.

Think about it carefully, isn't this the characteristic of this temporary no-black team?

If it was a normal NBA team with a majority of black players, it would be impossible to have any conversations about dads at all.

Because, the premise of talking about dad is that you have to have a dad.
