"Amare wasn't there, but the Knicks played well today, and at this point, I think you guys must want to report the 'no xx Knicks is better'. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "Wu Huang faced some reporters' ulterior motives after the game, and his mood didn't seem to be very good. "Young people don't always want to make big news, I can responsibly say that if James is injured now, the Heat will play better in the next game, but they will be finished soon, it's as simple as that."

Wu Huang's words made some reporters can't help but raise their hands to cover their faces, there are too many things worth complaining about, why do you have to compare the Heat and James? Now the fans on both sides are going to fight again.

Wu Huang played 33 minutes today, did not play again in the fourth quarter, and scored a total of 25 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals, and the overall performance was above 90 points.

"The Pacers aren't weak, they just lost and they don't have playoff experience, and I can see that they haven't figured out how to play this kind of game, which is a tuition fee that has to be paid in the process of growing up, so they thought it would be easier to play us than to play the Heat." The first half of Wu Huang's sentence can still make the Pacers players feel more comfortable, but the last sentence exposes his true nature.

In private, in fact, after returning to the locker room just after the game, Wu Huang finally followed his teammates to vent the pressure of the game and the joy after winning, and his words at that time were: "These idiots only have this bit of strength, and they dare to point fingers at us before the game, do they have this qualification?" ”

The Knicks may no longer be a nouveau riche now, but the players here are still tainted with some bad habits of big cities, such as the attitude of being invincible, the style of no one in his eyes, even Wu Huang is no exception, and now his opponents are only Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, Miami, and other big city teams, and he looks down on teams in small cities such as Spurs and Magic, and the devil knows where he gets his sense of superiority.

There has always been a particularly superior team in the West, it is called the "Lakers", but the background is much stronger than the Knicks, the nouveau riche. But apart from the underbelly, it's very similar to the Knicks, the difference is that it capsized today!

Kobe Bryant scored 34 points, but it wasn't enough to give the Lakers a victory.

The Hornets were an injury-plagued team with interior core David West absent, but they still played tenaciously and Chris Paul completed the blow to the ruling class with his 33 points, 14 assists and seven rebounds.

This result certainly shouldn't, even if the Lakers are not the defending champions, even if they are not giants, they should win against the Hornets. Gasol and Bynum, the two longs, dominate the interior and have an absolute advantage in height, while the Hornets are at a disadvantage even when West is on the floor. The Hornets lost to the Lakers in all four meetings in the regular season, which is why they preferred to choose the Spurs in the final minute of the regular season, but unfortunately the Hornets ultimately failed to do so and still stood opposite the Lakers.

On paper, the Hornets are at an absolute disadvantage inside, but on the court, they don't think so, and from the first second, the Hornets always held their heads high, led by Chris Paul, and launched a charge against the giants, and finally stabbed the Los Angeles Lakers who seemed to be strong but were actually hollow inside.

The other Western Conference team had a better time, with the Thunder duo scoring 72 points, Durant setting a new playoff high and scoring a career-high 41 points, and Russell Westbrook with 31 points, seven assists and six rebounds.

The Nuggets squandered their double-digit lead in the first quarter as they suffered an outburst from the Thunder twins in the second half and then lay down.

Wei Shao has always been criticized for being brainless, but the premise of this statement is that you have the ability to lay out a defense that makes him brainless, otherwise Wei Shao is not brainless, but invincible! He scored 16 points in a single quarter in the third quarter, setting a new personal playoff high, and the crazy Wei Shao looked quite a thousand enemies, and it was also able to arouse the adrenaline of fans to the maximum.

In the East, the Knicks beat the Pacers at home, but the Celtics were upset at home and lost to the Atlanta Hawks.

If you ask what kind of player Teague was last season, this rookie who was beaten by Wu Huang at that time and almost collapsed will definitely not get much praise. But there is no shortage of people in the world who are brave and shameful, after Teague was abused for a series, but accelerated his growth, a summer of hard training allowed Teague to replace Bibby in the new season, and he performed even more prominently in the playoffs, faintly with the shadow of some star point guards.

The Big Three of the Green Army are really old this year, and some fans feel that they will explode in the playoffs, and their experience and team defense will be a big weapon in the playoffs. But unfortunately, the Eagles are a team that is equally good at both, while also being younger.

The Celtics lost at home, and they couldn't prevent the steady performance of Joe Johnson, the increasingly strong Horford and Josh Smith, and the rapid growth of Teague filled the shortcomings of the Hawks, and the slow performance of the Celtics cost them home-court advantage.

The Knicks are now more focused on the Magic and Bulls games, and they spend most of their time studying the video except for basic training, and in terms of distribution ratio, the Pacers and these two teams have about the same time, which shows that even the Knicks' coaching staff doesn't think the Pacers will cause them too much trouble.

The Bulls lost the second half of the regular season and eventually slipped from third in the league and second in the East to fifth in the East, but won the first game of the playoffs against the Magic, who were ahead of them. The Chicagoans weren't content to do that and their goal was to win two in a row in Orlando. Of course, the Magic will not let their opponents succeed easily, everyone knows what it means to lose two in a row at home, and they will be out of the game if they lose one more game.

The Knicks also don't want the Bulls to continue to win, and if they knock the Magic out of the first round and their confidence rises, they will likely accelerate the run-in, and the Knicks will have trouble in the Eastern Conference semifinals. In fact, for them, the best result is that the Magic sweeps the Bulls, but it can't be the Bulls sweeping the Magic, and it's better not to play the seventh game, because the team that has gone through the tie-break is easy to play a surprise result in the subsequent series, and no one wants to play against the team that has gone through many tests and won.

It's a pity that the second game between the Magic and the Bulls is developing in the direction that the Knicks don't want to see, Howard resolutely attacked the basket today, and scored 20 points in the second quarter, he not only frequently made baskets, but also hit the free throw line well, 12 of 19 free throws in the game, the Bulls' "chopping tactics" failed, Howard once again played a super performance of 33+19, leading the Magic team to win back a city at home.

The Bulls are in a slump today, except for the Magic team made timely adjustments on the defensive end and successfully split the connection between the two in Game 2, the Bulls' chemistry as a whole still has a lot of problems, they were crushed by the Magic's offensive attack on the defensive end, Nelson and Turkoglu contributed 16 and 15 points respectively today, as long as the Magic's supporting players can play enough firepower, Howard's super performance will become a weapon of mass destruction.

On April 19, the score of the first round of the Western Conference - Spurs (1) vs (1) Grizzlies, Mavericks (2) vs (0) Rockets, Lakers (0) vs (1) Hornets, Thunder (1) vs (0) Nuggets. Eastern Conference First Round Score - Heat (2) vs (0) Bucks; Magic (1) vs (1) Bulls. Knicks (1) vs (0) Pacers; Celtics (0) vs (1) Hawks.

In addition to the Magic's victory over the Bulls in yesterday's four games, the Spurs also pulled one back at home, with the Heat and Mavericks leading 2-0 respectively.

The NBA officially announced the voting results for this season's Defensive Player of the Year award today, and in the end, Orlando Magic's Dwight Howard won the award for the third time in his career and the third year in a row. Howard also became the first player in NBA history to win the award three years in a row. In terms of total awards, Howard is second only to Dekembe Mutombo and Ben Wallace, both of whom have won the award four times each.

The "Best Defensive Player Award" is the first major honor announced this season, Wu Huang calmly accepted the result after getting the news, Howard defended the title as he expected, he didn't feel that his defense helped the team better than Howard, in fact, his defensive contribution this season was not as good as last season, he leaned too much energy on the offensive end.

Howard has a total of 66 double-doubles this season, and in six of those games, he has completed the feat of scoring and rebounding "double 20". Howard ranks second in the league in rebounds per game with 14.1, and fourth in the league with 2.38 blocks per game.

A total of 120 North American sports journalists and commentators participated in the Defensive Player of the Year award, each receiving a ballot in which they could write down three players in order, with the first player receiving five points, the second player receiving three points, and the third player receiving one point, with the highest score being voted Defensive Player of the Year.

Howard's dominance in this election was astonishing, with a total of 110 first-choice votes and a personal total of 565 points. The Boston Celtics' Kevin Garnett finished second in the poll, but his total was just 72 points, while Tyson Chandler of the Dallas Mavericks finished third with 70 points.

Although Wu Huang guessed that he had no chance, he didn't expect to only score 40 points this time, which was lower than last year's score and only ranked 7th. His teammate Andre Iguodala was fifth with 45 points, while Tony Allen was ninth with 30 points.

Although Howard won the best defensive player, the Magic team may not be too happy, because in the first game, Howard slashed 46 points and 19 rebounds to no avail, which made him break out after the game Some remarks that he wanted to leave the Magic, and there has been a lot of media speculation about Howard's whereabouts in the past few days.

ESPN reported after Howard won three consecutive DPOys: The current Magic is Howard's one-man team, and this is his greatest sorrow. According to insiders, Howard has completely given up on the Magic, and he will leave the Magic this summer, and there are only two teams he is considering joining, namely the Los Angeles Lakers and the New Jersey Nets.

Howard's choice is easy to understand, the Heat, Bulls, Knicks and other teams have completed the recruitment, regardless of their future success or failure, these teams have no place for him. And from inside sources, it is known that the two teams that Howard is concerned about are the Lakers and the Nets.

Warcraft's contract will have a personal option at the end of the 2011-12 season, and he has the right to jump out of his existing contract and become a free agent. For a player of Howard's calibre, only championships are his real goal, and those personal stats and personal accolades have long been aesthetic fatigue.

The situation of the Magic team is like "Wang Xiaoer's New Year, one year is not as good as one year", last year's playoffs all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals, and this year's regular season has been weak all the way, and it is even more stupid in trades, and it has brought in Arenas, who everyone avoids. In the playoffs, facing the Bulls, who everyone can bully, the home court folded for a while in the first round, which stung Howard's heart even more, and it was reasonable to plan to fly away.

The Lakers have been eye-to-eye with Howard before, and under the pressure of public opinion, Howard has been denying his transfer rumors in public, but anyone with a discerning eye knows what is going on. Compared with the Magic, the Lakers are in an absolute advantage in championship competitiveness and geographical location, and the Lakers are a traditional center-forward team in history.

Before this, the Lakers have always regarded Kobe and Pau Gasol as not for sale, but now Gasol, Bynum and Odom are excellent main trading chips, especially Bynum has been plagued by injuries for many years, and he can not be counted on at critical moments, and if he can be traded for Howard, the Lakers have no reason to refuse.

Of course, the Lakers can't rest easy, according to sources, Howard is still watching the Nets, and the Nets are rebuilding well, and if they can ensure that Deron Williams and Brook Lopez are retained, such a team is also very attractive to Howard.

"Howard goes to the Lakers, so does Gasol have a chance to come to the Knicks?" When Emperor Wu heard the news, an idea suddenly popped up in his heart, if the Zen master could really come to the Knicks next year, would it be possible for him to bring the Spaniards to change jobs with him?

Gasol signed a three-year, $57 million contract extension with the Lakers in '09, which is effective for the 10-11 season, with a player option in the summer of '12. If the Lakers can't defend their title this year, then Gasol could be traded at any time, and he and Bynum will become the Lakers' bargaining chips in their pursuit of Howard, Paul and other superstars of the year.

Before the Knicks' game, a reporter asked Wu Huang: Why did you like it after reporting that Howard won the DPOY?

Wu Huang shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "On the field, I am an opponent and a mortal enemy with him, but it doesn't mean that I will deny his ability, it is a great achievement for him to win this award for three consecutive years, his defense is dominant, in fact, I hate him precisely because he is my opponent, if he is my teammate, we are not enemies." ”

Wu Huang's words made some reporters in the audience unable to close their mouths, it seems that he didn't say that before? And he not only had a bad relationship with Howard on the field, but also denied the strength of others, and even bluntly said that Howard was overrated, but now he has made an amnesia, and changing his face is really faster than turning a book!

Of course, many people guessed the reason why he said this, and subconsciously thought: Could it be that the Knicks also want to pursue Howard next year?

The media has always had a big brainstorm, and it didn't take long for them to think of the possibility that "the Knicks want to compete for Howard." Wu Huang said this because he naturally wanted to resolve the conflict with Howard, and there is indeed no shortage of examples in the NBA of turning enemies into friends, and the original two enemies full of contradictions turned into teammates and then achieved results.

But this is not the case, Emperor Wu is now not even sure whether the Zen master will really come to the Knicks next year, but this does not prevent him from inserting a foot in the trouble first, anyway, Howard will definitely leave the Magic next year or the year after, which he can be sure and certain, so he will definitely not lose money if he inserts a leg in it now.

The Pacers played the Knicks again in New York today, but unfortunately lost to the top of the league in the last game, and after a day of rest, they still can't find a way to crack the Knicks.

Vogel was more aggressive in his lineup this time, switching to Paul George as the starter, but it didn't make a difference, and the third-year Gallinari was good enough to bring down the first-year rookie on both ends of the floor, and he appeared to be at ease.

Judging by the first half, the Pacers didn't have the playoff atmosphere at all, and they failed to play up their tenacious style on the defensive end and failed to cause problems for the Knicks defensively. The Knicks, who played at home, were at a 2-6 deficit after the opening game, but Gallinari ran out of the open space and hit two consecutive three-pointers to put the Knicks in the lead, and they never fell behind since. Wu Huang only shot twice in the quarter, but Gallinari and Iguodala and others performed well, and the Knicks ended the quarter with a wave of 7:2 and opened up the gap at 30:19 in one fell swoop.

In the second quarter, Wu Huang began to launch an offensive, and he scored 9 points on 4-of-5 shooting in the quarter, and the Knicks continued to extend their advantage. With 5:28 left in the quarter, the Pacers tied the score at 36:44, O'Neal immediately hit a two-and-one under the basket to return the color, he scored four points in a row, and Wu Huang also scored consecutive points after that, and the Knicks played a wave of 11:4 to gain a 15-point advantage at 55:40. Gallinari hit a three-pointer just before the end of the quarter, and the Knicks ended the first half with a 65-46 lead for another big lead today.

This time the Knicks were more relaxed at halftime, and the Pacers were completely unable to threaten them, and this kind of playoff game was not at all as strenuous as the regular season, and much less difficult than last year's games against the Hawks and Magic.

Wu Huang was also a little too relaxed this time, and the Pacers finally launched an offensive in the second half, starting the third quarter with a wave of 9-0 to chase the score to 49-55.

The Knicks missed a shot in the first four minutes of the quarter and the Pacers managed to close the gap to single digits, before Granger found his groove and scored 11 points in the quarter to help the Pacers trail by just two points at 62-64 with 2:19 left in the quarter, and Madison Square Garden finally got nervous.

Wu Huang knew that even he was guilty of underestimating the enemy today, but sometimes the game went too smoothly, it was really not that you could be serious if you wanted to be serious, even if you were as calm as a spur, you would occasionally be staged a tragedy of turning the tables, not to mention that Wu Huang had too much fun with the little singer and the little radish shreds yesterday, and it was inevitable that there would be some fluttering mentality today.

Fortunately, the Knicks are really not just a team where he can play alone, Iguodala returned the color with two breakthroughs at critical moments, and also made a key three-pointer in the last six seconds of the quarter to help the Knicks lead 73-67 after three quarters.

In the final quarter, the Knicks players got serious, and with 5:02 left in the game, Gallinari broke through and caused Hibbert's sixth foul, and the Knicks once again knocked out the opponent's most dangerous interior line. Then after the Italian received a three-point pass from Wu Huang, the Pacers fell behind by double digits again.

Wu Huang suddenly found out in the last two minutes of the game that he was going to get a triple-double again, so he immediately deliberately missed the ball at the free throw, directed a despicable self-throw, and shamelessly put together double-digit rebounds, and the so-called "triple-double king" was brushed out in this way.

The Knicks relied on the advantage of the main lineup to pull the score apart, although the Pacers tried desperately to close the gap after that, but the gap in strength made them powerless, and finally the Knicks defeated the Pacers 105-94 and scored 2:0 in the series.

Wu Huang had 24 points, 10 rebounds and 14 assists, Gallinari had 26 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, Iguodala had 18 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, O'Neal had 11 points and 5 rebounds, and Monroe had 10 points and 8 rebounds.

"My team-mate was better than me today and I think he should be the best man of the match." Wu Huang still won the best of the game after the game, but he felt that it was good to occasionally share this kind of chicken rib reward with others, and in the past two seasons, almost all the games won by the Knicks were won by him, and he was a little tired of aesthetics.

As for some of the Pacers' changes today, Wu Huang said: "I had a good idea of them having Paul George and Dundee Jones take turns defending today, which also shows that my destructive power is completely at the level of a shooting guard, even a small forward. After saying that, Wu Huang found that his words seemed a little too arrogant, so he added: "Basketball is always full of dialectic, I hope the Knicks can expose some problems in the first round, because the situation is better now than the situation in the future, and the Heat Green Army will not give you this kind of space and opportunity to slowly adjust according to weaknesses in the future." "Well, it seems that this sentence is really arrogant, and even magic and bulls have skipped it. (To be continued.) )
