The Rest, Only Noise

Latest website: On the day of the sixth game of the finals, Lu Wuxia was still in a state of "doubtful to play".

This is a smokescreen that is difficult for opponents to see through.

Because in the past two games, Lu Wuxia was in this state, and as a result, he didn't fight in one game and fought in the other.

So no one knows if he'll play Game 6 or not.

However, the Celtics players have received news that Lu Wuxia will not be able to play tonight due to swelling and pain in his right ankle.

Louis woke up early in the morning.

As he got older, his sleep patterns became more and more regular.

Lorraine cooked for herself this morning and made some breakfast for her husband.

"Marlena, are you free tonight?"

"Yes, aren't you going to play a game tonight?"

"Yes, this is the last game of this season." Louis seemed to predict the ending in advance, "We will win tonight."

Lorraine smiled, "Do you want me to go?"

"Of course, you are my goddess of luck. With you here, there will be no accidents tonight."

"So, is Mike going to play tonight?"

"Yes, but he's injured and won't be playing for very long."

Louie didn't talk much about the game with his wife, just confirmed that she would be there tonight, and then asked someone to arrange a seat.

It was still early for the afternoon training, so Louis chose to go back to his home office to prepare.

Tonight, apart from the impeccable "Return of the King", the most important thing is the performance of other people.

Yao Yueban's performance is the top priority. Louis is going to arrange a star lineup at the beginning of the game, trying to beat Milicic's defense within a few minutes and establish an advantage for the team.

After that, whether it is to use the ... system to maintain an advantage, or play positionless basketball to critically attack the opponent, it must be arranged according to the situation on the court.

Louie went through the possible scenarios in his mind, and then came back to reality.

He wondered what else he needed to prepare.

Turning his gaze, Louis looked at the cabinet, where there were books and a cigar box.

It was the book Louis gave Auerbach back then, and the cigar Auerbach gave him in return.

Is tonight a good time to light a cigar?

Louie didn't know it, but he decided to bring the cigars to the scene.

Then, something unexpected happened.

Both Ewing and Bird will go to the game to watch the game, and even bring some old Celtics players to the scene.

Afterwards, Wilson again accepted TNT's invitation to enter the studio as a guest.

Many of Louie's old friends will be there in person. It's like an elegy of the old era. Those who have made the golden age of the NBA with Louie have gathered together again.

Louie chuckled, making it seem like it was his last dance.

However, the championship does have a certain symbolic value for Louis.

If he wins, it will be his first NBA championship after seven years away from the game;

This is also the first championship won by the Celtics after the death of Reid Auerbach;

It's also the first NBA championship in fifty years without a black player -- if they do;

It is so special and so precious.

afternoon

After Louie presided over a simple training session at the training base, Ginobili asked, "Coach, is Wish really unable to play tonight?"

Louis asked back: "Manu, do you know Wish?"

"I still understand."

"Do you think he would give up this game if there was a slight possibility?" Louis looked around the court, Wuxia did not participate in training today.

This is also Louis's arrangement.

Only when the teammates realized that Lu Wuxia might really be unable to fight would they realize it.

Only when all thoughts are lost, the moment when Wuxia runs out of the player channel, will the greatest motivational effect be produced.

In the evening, when Louis stepped onto the team bus, Wuxia appeared in protective gear.

At this time, everyone has tacitly agreed that he will not play tonight.

After the Celtics came to the Fleet Center, the players went into training, and the coaching staff was interviewed.

Unsurprisingly, the media asked about Lu Wuxia's injury and whether he will play tonight.

"Wish doesn't feel good, I don't think he's ready," said Bill Laimbier.

Louis declined all media access.

The media were also interested, and just took a few pictures of Louis from a distance.

During the period, Louis entertained an old fan on behalf of the team.

The opponent is an old man, 85 years old, named Nick Giannis, who is said to have seen Ed Sadowski (Ed Sadowski) play.

do not know? It doesn't matter, Louis, who claims to be an expert in NBA history, doesn't know him either.

"Is he a good player?" Louie asked.

Giannis shook his head and said: "No, he is average. I saw him smoking on the bench. He is terrible. He has no professionalism. Thank God, he only stayed in Boston for a year."

Louie wasn't even interested in asking what generation Safdowski was, because he could guess just by thinking about the history of the Celtics. After entering the 1950s, Auerbach was in power. Except for Heinsohn, there should be no core in the history of the Celtics who likes to smoke, so this person should be a player before the 1950s.

Louis did not continue to talk about the history of the NBA with Giannis, but just asked the other party a question, why did he come to watch the game at such an old age? What if I get irritated?

"I couldn't miss the coronation of the last no-black team," Giannis said bluntly.

It was racist, but it felt so true coming from an old white guy like him.

Louis asked with a smile: "Do you still have any impression of the last team without black that won the championship?"

Since he even knew Ed Safdowski, he must have been impressed with the 1958 St. Louis Hawks championship.

As a result, Giannis had no respect for the all-white championship in St. Louis: "That championship is the championship with the lowest gold content in NBA history. If Russ was not injured, Bob Pettit could only win the championship in a dream!"

Racism, arrogance, arrogance, double standards.

How should I put it, Louie's prejudice against old white people has deepened.

"Have a good time watching the game!"

Louie left.

After that, it is pre-match preparation.

From seven o'clock in the evening, the audience came in large numbers.

Players from both sides ran out of the home and away player channels.

ABC commentator Mike Breen emphasized: "We still don't know if Wish will play."

Ten minutes later, players from both sides were basically warming up on the field.

Only Lu Wuxia was missing.

It seemed that Lu Wuxia's absence was already doomed.

The commentators began to discuss the difficulties the Celtics had to face when Lu Wuxia was not on the court.

The pre-match atmosphere was full of tension and anticipation. The arena was packed with enthusiastic fans, and their shouts and applause echoed throughout the venue.

Even an optimist like Ginobili felt the pressure and tension. Just as the Celtics players were warming up according to their normal rhythm, there were suddenly encouraging cheers from the sidelines.

The members of the Green Army couldn't believe their ears, they just looked at the player channel in astonishment.

Mike Breen shouted excitedly: "Look, someone ran out of the player tunnel!"

Everyone on the court looked towards the Celtics tunnel.

Lu Wuxia exuded a firm and confident aura. There was a smile on his face, and determination and perseverance shone in his eyes. His appearance was like a flash of lightning piercing the dark night sky, instantly igniting the enthusiasm of his teammates and fans.

The cheers of the audience became more enthusiastic. Lu Wuxia could feel their emotions, which aroused the fighting spirit of Lu Wuxia and other Celtic players.

Lu Wuxia took firm steps, every step seemed to release his inner strength. His presence made the entire arena feel a special atmosphere, as if frozen in time.

"Wish is here!"

"He was wearing a uniform and no protective gear!"

"This means that he has a high probability..."

Brin's voice was swallowed by the almost fanatical applause and cheers at the scene.

In the glorious team history of the Celtics, Lu Wuxia's performance after returning from an injury is no better than Havlicek who finished the Eastern Conference Finals with a torn shoulder~www.readwn.com~It is also no better than using a Isiah Thomas of the Knicks with **** legs, but he is as inspiring as any of them.

When Lu Wuxia ran to his teammates, his eyes were full of determination and will. The fans stood up and cheered for them. At this moment, Louie could feel the flawless leadership and team spirit flowing in the team. Everyone on the Celtics floor was inspired by his courage and everyone knew they had to give it their all tonight for Wish and the city.

Louis said to the players: "In any case, Wish doesn't want to miss this game, even if he only plays for a minute, he will fight with you."

The morale of the Celtic players, who were not sure whether Lu Wuxia would play, suddenly skyrocketed.

They were chanting some words that Louis could no longer hear clearly, and the scene was too noisy.

He looked up at the flags and jerseys above the arena, and the arena full of noise gave him a completely different feeling.
