the rest, only noise

Chapter 1608
Balance
After a timeout, the Heat returned Arenas, Ray Allen, Duncan and other main players.

The Celtics traded back Kirilenko and Yao Yueban to enhance defense and interior.

There is also a small change, Lu Wuxia changed to defending Arenas, because the Heat replaced Liu Yuqing and adjusted.

"Giblish, aren't you going to tear my mouth apart with your performance? But why haven't I seen your performance yet?"

Lu Wuxia's provocation soon received "results".

After a sharp change of direction, Arenas relied on his strong lower body strength to ignore the height difference between himself and Lu Wuxia, and made a hard pull.

43 is better than 45
The Heat chased the point difference to 2 points, and Arenas snorted coldly like a peerless master who didn't bother to talk nonsense.

This kind of performance of Arenas made Lu Wuxia understand that there are some players in this world who cannot be restrained even if they try their best.

In particular, basketball itself is still developing in a direction that favors offensive players.

Even the Defensive Player of the Year can't do anything about hot aces.

Therefore, to deal with these opponents, the best choice is to retaliate with retaliation.

Yao Yueban was about to serve when he heard Wuxia say, "Brother Yao, help me with an outside pick-and-roll."

Yao Yueban was stunned, "You don't really want to take the pick-and-roll and shooting super long three-pointers as a routine method, do you? Then (I'm exhausted) the shooting rate is so unstable!"

Then, Yao Yueban served.

Lu Wuxia didn't catch the ball and let it roll on the ground.

This is what old ball skins do.

Because the NBA's offensive time is counted from the time the offensive team touches the ball, as long as you don't touch it, even if it rolls to the frontcourt by itself, it doesn't count as time.

"Tim's defense is impeccable, and to keep him on the run, you've got to do it the hard way."

Yao Yueban only had one question: "Can you guarantee the hit rate?"

"At least it's okay for now."

"Then it's fine, I will fight as you say!"

Arenas saw Lu Wuxia and Yao Yueban coming side by side, and the ball was still on the floor.

What does it mean?
Did you say that you have to play pick-and-roll tactics directly at halftime?
Arenas guessed right, but not quite right.

Although he vigilantly reminded Duncan to be on the line in advance to prepare for the Celtics' pick-and-roll attack, but the Celtics' pick-and-roll attack was unstoppable and was carried out two meters outside the three-point line.

Arenas has consciously defended the flawless ultra-long three-pointer.After all, he himself is a lover of ultra-long three-pointers. In his opinion, as long as he has a touch, it is understandable to let him shoot from the position, let alone a player like Wish who has no dead ends in the frontcourt in a true sense?
However, awareness limits Arenas' imagination.

When Yao Yueban gave Lu Wuxia a pick-and-roll two meters from the three-point line, Agent Zero's mind went down.

Lu Wuxia relied on Yao Yueban's pick-and-roll to easily throw Arenas away. Even if Duncan was elected as the Defensive Player of the Year for many times, he was still powerless against this situation.

He watched in a daze as Lu Wuxia took the pick-and-roll and shot a long three-pointer from the left side of the three-point line.

"Shh!"

48 is better than 43
"Tim, if you want to guard me, you better run outside the three-point line."

Duncan nodded and said, "Good shot, but I hate the way you play."

"Thank you, I'll take that as a compliment."

Lu Wuxia refreshed Arenas' knowledge, and a bold idea came to his mind, if Yao Yueban could do that kind of pick-and-roll for Lu Wuxia, then could Duncan do the same for him?
Just when Arenas was wildly thinking about the scene where Duncan set a pick-and-roll for him from outside the three-point line, he heard the conversation between Lu Wuxia and Duncan.

No matter what Wish's shit mouth says, Arenas just needs to hear what Duncan said clearly.

He heard it clearly.

"Good shot, but I hate the way you play."

Duncan doesn't seem to like this style of play, and like all the oldies, he refuses to accept advanced offensive concepts. If Duncan hates this, Arenas can't have this kind of pick-and-roll mechanism on the team.

Although Arenas is arrogant, he knows whose team this is. Without Duncan's permission, he will be unable to move an inch.

Sometimes, ignorance of each other will lead to hidden dangers and misunderstandings.

Even though he has been a teammate for many years, Arenas still doesn't understand Duncan.

For Duncan, whether it is hated or liked, as long as it can bring benefits to the team.

He doesn't mind doing that pick-and-roll for Arenas.

But it is the embarrassment brought about by this little misunderstanding, which may lead to a bigger misunderstanding.

"Look, Gabrielsh, the gap is widening again."

Just as Arenas was about to break through, Manu Ginobili on one side suddenly came over to flank him.

Teammates fell into open positions, and Arenas, who was unable to attack due to flanking, was forced to pass the ball.

Stephen Jackson responded to the Celtics with a pinpoint jumper.

In turn, Lu Wuxia started the outside pick-and-roll tactics again.

This time the person in charge of the pick and roll is Kirilenko.

Duncan, who suffered a loss once, will naturally stop standing in the three-point line and wait dryly, but will take the initiative to rush out of the three-point line to delay.

However, although Duncan was full of enthusiasm, he also missed.

After Kirilenko's pick-and-roll, he went straight into the Heat's hinterland like an arrow.

Lu Wuxia received the ball, turned sideways, fully grasped the situation, and easily hit the ground with a tricky angle pass to assist the Russian to attack the basket and score.

Lu Wuxia's performance gave the Heat a great sense of frustration.

After the first quarter, they were leading by 10 points.As a result, Lu Wuxia blocked their best performer, Liu Yuqing, as soon as he came up, and then used an unsolvable personal attack to make the Celtics overtake by 5 points.Now all the main players are facing each other, no matter whether it is Arenas or Duncan standing in front of him, he has defeated them with outstanding skills.

As long as he has the ball, the Celtics will score.

How could this person be so strong at such a young age?
"How do you feel that Wish's personal ability has improved a lot since the start of the playoffs?"

Even the coaching staff of the Celtics were surprised by Lu Wuxia's strength.

Only two people are not surprised.

One is Lu Wuxia's father, and the other is Pat Riley.

Not to mention being a father, the stronger the son is, the happier he will be, and there will be no thoughts of "Why did he suddenly become so strong?" Instead, he will only have the self-satisfaction and pride of "I am so powerful that I am worthy of being my son".

Riley felt relatively deeper.

Lu Wuxia's performance like this is indeed unexpected, but this may be the truest manifestation of Wish's strength.Before this year, he was too relaxed and humble, which limited his personal development and growth.

Louie made him a true leader, and like all great leaders in NBA history, he played far better in the playoffs than in the regular season.

Riley glanced at Louis secretly, and found that he was not surprised at all, he was worthy of being a father.

It reminded Riley of Benjamin Wilson in 1993.

Since when did the world think Wilson was better than Jordan?
The answer is Game 1993 of the 66 Finals. When Benj scored [-] points in a single game and overwhelmed Jordan with a step-back three-pointer that was recorded in history, those who have always advocated "Jordan is better, but Wilson's team is better" became a joke.

It was really the one game that made all the debate moot, and Wilson officially took Jordan down.Since then, the critics have turned to the eternal "Ewing or Sampson?"No one takes the Wilson-Jordan comparison seriously anymore.

It suddenly occurred to Riley that Louis once said that Wish and LBJ would become the contemporary "Benj oh MJ". At that time, some people asked who is Benj and who is MJ. Looking at it now, isn't the answer to this question obvious?

Eight minutes into the second quarter, 8 to 59, the difference between the two sides came to 49 points.

The statistics fully reflected the role of Lu Wuxia. In less than halftime, he had scored 27 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists.

With four minutes left before the end of the first half, Louie replaced him flawlessly for the break, leaving JJ Barea with Manu Ginobili and Szczerbiak with Gasol and Pachulia.

There is no chance for the Heat to let the core players rest.

There is a gap in the depth of the benches between the two sides. The Celtics can give Lu Wuxia and Yao Yueban a rest with a 10-point advantage, but the Heat can't.

Their bench lineup couldn't withstand the Celtics' lineup, and they were 10 points behind, so the main lineup must persist until the end of the first half.

From this moment on, the balance of victory clearly favored the Boston Celtics in an away game.
