The Rest, Only Noise

Latest URL: Big Shot Rob

In the Tianwangshan battle between the Celtics and the Suns, the team's morale was greatly boosted by Lu Wuxia's return from injury. In the first half, the Celtics led the Suns by 11 points 58-47.

Among them, Manu Ginobili, the best player in the half, said in an interview: "I want to win this game for Wish!"

Looking at Ginobili, Louie can easily think of those ruthless people who couldn't get out of the line of fire because of injuries, so as to motivate their teammates to get into the best state.

For an old man like him, the best example that can come to mind is undoubtedly the New York Knicks in 1970.

The famous "Reed Returns" battle.

Willis Reed just came down the hall and made two mid-range shots that got Walter Frazier pumped up.

In the previous six games, the young Fraser averaged only 14 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists per game. Facing the seasoned Jerry West, he was at a disadvantage. The opponent dominated the backcourt with an average of 31 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists per game. .

Just in the seventh game, Frazier, who was abused by West for six games, was so ambitious that he used Reed's courage to kill the Lakers in one fell swoop. He scored 36 points, 7 rebounds and 19 assists in a single game, leading the team to defeat the Lakers. In fact Chamberlain's soft-ass reputation (1).

In the Stern era, Fraser's outburst was enough for him to steal an FMVP from Reid. However, that was the era of O'Bryant. This is a president who hates commercialization and doesn't like the All-Star Game, so the FMVP is worthy of the name and given to Reed who took a huge risk to play and thus inspired the whole team.

Frazier later stated in his autobiography that when he saw Reed being elected FMVP, he felt a great loss in his heart.

However, he did not deny that without Reed, he would not have played the seventh game.

When Louis was young, he explored the secrets of making a strong team a champion.

This made him read the history and watch the strong teams, and finally came to a conclusion.

A perfect team, a team that is invincible, a team that will undoubtedly wear the title for a whole year, always has a dedication and sacrifice that no other team can match, especially Before the salary cap era, the salary was not so particular. The team gave you as much as they thought you were worth, so everyone got the money and played with peace of mind.

Now that the league has entered the age of social media from the salary cap era, pure sacrifice and dedication are very rare.

However, Louie still saw similarities with those teams in the Celtics.

Especially what Wuxia said in the interview with the midfielder.

"I'm not fully recovered, but I'm not going to miss the game with such a small injury, I'm coming back, standing with my teammates, I'm going to fight for them."

He inadvertently touched the deepest secret of team sports.

Nothing to do with money, status, or even honor.

It's just about you and your teammates, as much as you are willing to do for your teammates, they will give you back.

In 1969, Bill Russell, who won the ultimate battle, expressed his dissatisfaction with Chamberlain's midway exit, and told reporters that even if he was given the whole world, he would not trade his teammates.

Have the Celtics come this far this year?

This is a very young team, they haven't experienced much.

Louie wasn't sure.

However, the Celtics are indeed in full swing.

In the second half, Penny scored 7 points in a row, sounding the clarion call for the Suns to chase points, but Yao Yueban's three-pointer at the top of the arc, and Lu Wuxia flying Iguodala to the basket to complete the 2+1, the Suns actually only scored the points. The difference is reduced by 1 point.

Afterwards, Iguodala stood up and took the initiative to go to the low post to play the road flawlessly.

Although Iguodala's technical moves are only a rough word in Lu Wuxia's opinion, the effect is not bad in real fights.

Especially in the low post, Iguodala has an obvious physical advantage and scored 4 points on Lu Wuxia.

Lu Wuxia, who was injured in a single-point breakthrough, was originally the strategy of the Suns. Now that Iguodala has implemented it in place, the Suns will naturally implement it to the end.

D'Antoni made an on-the-spot arrangement, and arranged for all the Suns players who got the ball to call for a pick-and-roll roll call.

In this regard, Louis' response was that when facing Garnett and Penny, others immediately double-teamed, and when facing Iguodala and Hamilton, Lu Wuxia handled it by himself.

The first two are players that Lu Wuxia is difficult to deal with now, and the latter two are not enough lethal with the ball. Even if he scores a few goals, the impact will not be great.

The Suns, who tried to defeat Lu Wuxia in one go, failed to achieve their goal.

Because Lu Wuxia is not a player with a fragile heart.

Although the opponent regarded him as a tiger in Luopingyang, he was not stage fright at all. After all, he didn’t perform very well in the first half. After more than two quarters to adapt to the game, he felt that the game was almost found, and it was time to let go of his performance. .

So, no matter which Suns team names him on the defensive end, he'll be back on the offensive end.

This is an extremely dramatic scene.

Penny just scored on Lu Wuxia's head, and then he was swung away face to face, and responded with a jumper.

When Garnett encounters a double team, he can also use his physical advantage to force points.

Lu Wuxia was not that violent, so he called a pick-and-roll and shot a three-pointer directly from the outside.

The Suns continued to play singles, while the Celtics began a systematic attack after Lu Wuxia responded to two consecutive roll calls.

The first is to attack (7 seconds or less), Lu Wuxia crosses the half court, passes the ball to Ginobili, calls a screen, cuts first after a single block, then runs back, catches the ball and makes a three-pointer.

Then there is the offense (20 seconds or longer), Gasol gets the ball high and sends a solid pass.

Ginobili broke through with the ball and scored again.

Lu Wuxia took the ball from the bottom corner and took a feint shot and broke through. Yao Yueban was given to Yao Yueban while he was on the move. Yao Yueban then moved to the other corner and Kirilenko made a three-pointer.

For a while, it looked like the Suns were going nowhere, and the Celtics' lead reached 16 points.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Yao Yueban scored 2+1 on Garnett's head, extending the lead to 18 points.

Then, Iguodala scored two unexpected three-pointers in a row to bring the point difference back to 15 points.

Garnett faced Yao Yueban in singles, Lu Wuxia named Milicic at the top of the arc, Penny responded with a three-pointer, Ginobili singled out Hamilton's serpentine layup, Hamilton ran and caught the ball and made a mid-range shot, Gasol made a high-level shot Go to the basket and slam dunk...

This may be the most star-studded finals in recent years.

The Celtics played even better, and the Suns were overwhelmed.

Three and a half minutes before the end, the Suns trailed by 12 points.

Then, D'Antoni made a decision to replace Milicic because he was used as a flaw on the court.

Instead of keeping him, it is better to change to a veteran who has more flaws on the defensive end but has more accomplishments on the offensive end-Robert Horry, who is known for his big heart at critical moments.

Affected by the butterfly effect, Horry has not established a reputation as "Big Shot Rob" (BigShotRob) in this life. team wins the championship.

For the sports world, it only makes sense to be the key performance of the winner.

It's hard to describe in words what Horry has done since he came on.

He hit a three-pointer first, and then scored on a fast break under Garnett's strong defense.

At that time, Louis had realized the danger of Hori, and he asked Kirilenko to keep an eye on him.

But even if the Celtics fielded their best defender, it wouldn't change what happened next.

Horry is not the kind of person who can be watched by sending someone to watch ~www.readwn.com~ because he is not a chance creator. Like all famous big-hearted role players in history, they just fall into their hands The ball is thrown in, rather than relying on personal ability to create the moment of the shot.

Therefore, Kirilenko only made it more difficult for Horry to catch the ball, but it did not change the result that he must score after catching the ball.

Horry scored 12 of the Suns' remaining 16 points, and what really made Horry's offense meaningful was Garnett's impregnable defense.

In the last three and a half minutes, Garnett contributed 3 blocks and 1 steal, allowing the Suns to create a miracle at the last moment, filling the 12-point gap and allowing this magnificent battle of Tianwangshan to enter overtime.

⑴ How long has it been since I told the story that Chamberlain bullied the Knicks without Reed and scored 45 points and 27 rebounds in the sixth game, and then was scared to death by the one-legged Reed in the seventh game, only scoring 21 points and 24 rebounds. ?
