Hard to be a hero
Lu Wuxia and Yao Yueban returned to the court.
Louis wanted to trade Gasol back, but the Spaniard's body language was full of frustration.
At that time, Gasol was covering his head with a towel, staring blankly at the court.
He didn't even notice that the game was suspended.
It shows that his attention has been taken away from the field, and his mind is thinking about other things that have nothing to do with it.
Louie really doesn't think Gasol's performance tonight is a reflection of the opponent's true strength.
It is of course true that Gasol is not as good as Garnett, but his inferior strength does not mean that he will be beaten like a son like Yao Yue's half-beating universe's No. [-] center Ha Seung-jin.
With Gasol's strength, he is fully capable of finding a way to play with his own characteristics under Garnett's rule, but he didn't. This is not a problem of strength, but a problem of psychology.
Does he really need to go through a disastrous defeat like the 2008 Hukai war, and then lead the national team to a decisive battle with the most powerful American team in the new century to rebuild his confidence at the top of the Forbidden City, and then beat Garnett after a serious injury in 2010, in order to become the best version of himself?
If Gasol needs such a tortuous growth curve, Louie will seriously consider trading him.
First of all, the Celtics will definitely not suffer a disastrous defeat like the 08 Lakers in the previous life. Secondly, it will be the Chinese team that will face the US team at the top of the Forbidden City in the Olympics next year. Then, no matter how dramatic and legendary this period of growth is, it is too long.
Three years, who the hell gave you three years.
Louis only gave him three days, forget about tonight, if the next game does not improve, then it is not inconceivable to replace Gasol in the offseason due to the real need to strengthen the team's fourth position.
After switching back to the main force, Lu Wuxia first assisted Yao Yueban and hit the second three-pointer at the top of the arc, then cleverly broke Penny and drove straight in. The frontcourt was backed by Iguodala who was catching up at full speed to complete the And One.
When he saw him fall to the ground, Louis couldn't help worrying, but soon he stood up and signaled that there was no problem.
Lu Wuxia recovered 6 points in one breath, and then Iguodala simply changed direction, and after shaking him past, Louis felt something was wrong.
Although Flawless's defense is not up to the elite level, his lateral movement speed is not bad. Iguodala's change of direction just now obviously tightened his strength, so can he shake the defense away?
However, there is no problem with his flawless running posture, and his dribbling style does not appear to have been affected by lower limb injuries in any way.
I think too much?
Louis thought so far, and saw Wuxia calling Yao Yueban for a pick-and-roll.
The Suns have no doubts about this. At this time, they only dared to switch defenses, let Garnett and Lu Wuxia match up, and did not dare to double-team again, and gave Yao Yue a chance to shoot in the middle.
Lu Wuxia took the ball straight to Garnett in the middle.
As a result, the momentum of the ball was obviously not enough. Although he leaned on Garnett, he failed to completely suppress the opponent's strength and was rebounded instead.
Garnett yelled, stood up on the spot, pushed open the flawless body, connected the ball with his hands, and a bloody cap fell from his head.
"Beep!"
Although the process was ugly, Lu Wuxia achieved his goal and caused Garnett's second foul.
He breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't completely relax. Just as he was about to get up, he found a pain in his right ankle.
This injury was not caused by the fall just now. As early as the first quarter when he was holding a lot of balls, his ankle was slightly twisted, and the fall just now intensified its reaction.
Now... this obvious pain is obviously not the "small injury that can be overcome" he thought.
At this time, Yao Yueban helped him up, "You can't fall down, this game depends on you."
"Don't worry, Annie often says that I am made of iron..."
Yao Yue said with a half smile: "You don't need to tell me about this kind of thing."
Lu Wuxia laughed dryly, and walked towards the free throw line. He found that walking in a straight line was fine, squatting, and jumping were fine, but there were problems with lateral movement to the right and changing direction with the ball... After playing for so many years, he has encountered similar injuries many times, but he has never been injured in such an important game.
He heard from his father that there are many players who could have had a better career, but because of injuries, they eventually lost their future players.
He definitely has a reason to go off the line, and he believes his teammates can win games without him, but not tonight.
Tonight is a game that requires him to give it his all for the Celtics to win.
But tonight is not a battle of life and death, so Lu Wuxia doesn't know what the right choice is.
Should I endure the pain and strive for a great 3-0 win for the team, or should I quit halfway to heal the injury and wait for the future?
Lu Wuxia decided to persevere, and asked Kirilenko and Yao Yueban to pick and roll to the left. At the same time, he would deliberately expose flaws on the right to seduce the opponent to break through.
The teammates didn't know the inside story, they only knew to act according to the plan, Lu Wuxia protected himself well, but he couldn't hide it from his father.
At halftime, the Celtics trailed the Suns by 58 points 61 to 3.
Louis didn't let Wuxia accept the midfield interview, he called him directly into the player tunnel, stared at him and said, "Take off your sneakers, let me see your feet."
"this…"
"Don't try to hide it from me!" Louis said in a deep voice, "You think you are smart? I am the person who understands you best in this world, and if you continue to fight, your opponent will also find that you have problems!"
"I can persist." Lu Wuxia said.
Louis shook his head and said: "If you say that lateral movement has already begun to be affected, then what's the use of continuing? A defender who cannot move freely on the field is a burden to the team, and a ball holder who cannot dribble freely on the field is like a toothless tiger. I will not let you continue to play like this."
"It's not that I can't do lateral movements, as long as I get used to that feeling"
"And then?" Louis asked, "Because the injury aggravated the season's reimbursement and continued to affect your future career? I told you the story of Willis Reed, and I thought you would learn something from Reed's tragedy..."
Lu Wuxia said: "But his result was good, he won the championship, and never let Wilt Chamberlain raise his head in front of him again."
"Hehe..." Louis sneered, "He won the championship, but he also lost the future. If he hadn't been injured, the Knicks could have won more championships in the weakest league ever. People, no one will remember you. Because LeBron will have a longer career than Wilt, he will win championships, and his name will be recorded in every statistical record. He will be a player that will be passed down for generations.
Lu Wuxia was speechless, he just didn't want to give up this game.
In the end, he said: "In 1992... you also played Benj with an injury. I just want to be a player like him."
"That was the most dereliction of duty night in my career, and it's not the last moment yet," Louie said. "Willis Reed came back in Game [-], and Benj's game was the fourth quarter of the second half of Game [-]. If we do get to that moment, I'll let you make that decision. As for now, I need to let the team doctor know about your injury, so you have to quit this game and trust your teammates."
In the halftime lounge, Louis announced the flawless injury.
This news undoubtedly shook the hearts of the soldiers.
The Celtics can play tonight and still bite the score. The most critical factor is Lu Wuxia's continuous unsolvable core performance.
When someone needs to break the game, he can play alone.
When his personal offensive firepower is insufficient, he starts to pass the ball to make his teammates eat cakes.
Even if it is the defense he is least good at, he has 2 steals and 1 block performance so far.
It can be said that winning tonight depends on his performance in the second half.
The news of his injury was like a bolt from the blue, leaving everyone's brains blank for a while and even unable to accept the news.
"Everyone," Lu Wuxia swept away the gloom on his face, and said optimistically, "I'll go to the infirmary. If there is no problem, I will be back soon. Before that, the competition will be left to you."
Yao Yue's half-generation team stated: "Don't worry, we will wait for you to come back."
Lu Wuxia walked forward, and Louis followed suit and said, "Captain, I suggest you don't expect much from Wish. He doesn't believe that you can win the game without him. If I didn't try to persuade him, he planned to play in the second half with an injury. Now, you better keep your spirits up, because from the second half onwards, no one will stand in front of you and pay for your mistakes. Moreover, I don't think you will not be able to play without Wish. This record is enough to prove your strength, now is the time to prove yourself and let the world know that the Celtics without Wish are also well-deserved champions!"
Why let Wuxia get hurt?Because when Wei Xia came to find Louis, there was no flawless
