Wu Huang will be more excited when he sees the big wave girl, when he is asked who he will choose if he chooses the MVP himself? Emperor Wu smiled and said, "I really don't know who to choose except myself?" But the most important thing for me right now is to lead the team forward, and in the playoffs I'm not going to be brutal and I'm not going to look at the numbers, and the Knicks winning is the most important thing for me.

Before the start of today's four-group competition, there are already two groups of opponents in the East and West who have divided the winners and losers of the first game, the Western Conference - Spurs (0) vs (1) Grizzlies; Mavericks (1) vs (0) Rockets. Eastern Conference - Heat (1) vs. (0) Bucks; Magic (0) vs (1) Bulls.

The first game of this year's playoffs once again broke out a lot of upsets, the battle between the Spurs and the Grizzlies was due to Ginobili's absence, Battier hit the winning three-pointer 23 seconds before the end of the game, and the Grizzlies defeated the Spurs 101-98 to win the first playoff game in 16 seasons in team history, and took a 1-0 lead in the series.

The Magic also overturned at home, and although they fought back in the final quarter, they still failed to make a comeback, and finally lost to their opponents 98-104, and the Magic trailed the Bulls by a total score of 0:1.

The Knicks will naturally be concerned about this game, and their opponent in the next round will be one of these two teams.

The Bulls seem to have found some sense in the playoffs, and Thibodeau's use of a two-core rotational single play is somewhat unexpected. In particular, Howard scored 31 points in the half, setting a new record for Magic playoff points in a half, breaking Maddy's record of 28 points in a half on April 21, 2003 (when the Magic played the Pistons). In the end, he scored 46 points in the game, tying Maddy's single-game playoff scoring record, which is also the Magic's playoff team record. However, under the double blow of Rose's 28 points and Anthony's 36 points, the one-armed Howard still lost at home.

"Turkoglu slipped too fast on the defensive end, he couldn't do anything with Anthony at all, and Nelson was the same, the Bulls didn't necessarily improve so fast, it can only be said that the Magic team had no way to face the Bulls' two strongest points." When Wu Huang watched the live broadcast yesterday, he felt that it was not necessarily how good the Bulls played, but it could only be said that the Magic played too badly, and Howard scored 46 points and didn't win the game, so he could only say that others were too wasteful!

There were no upsets in the other two games, and the Mavericks didn't have much trouble facing the Rockets who lost Yao Ming. Although the Heat and the Bucks played anxiously, allowing Bogut, the newly released block king, to send 5 blocks all over the court, but relying on the play of three stars, the Heat still had a thrilling kill of the opponent.

The Knicks' game was the first one today, Wu Huang didn't say much at the pre-game press conference, he had nothing to say in the face of a weak team like the Pacers, Wu Huang was not unscrupulous at all times, and his trash talk was not enjoyable for everyone, in short, everything was going according to the process - warm-up, press conference, locker room interview, and so on half an hour before the start of the game, the Knicks closed the door and invited all the reporters to start making the final arrangements.

D'Antoni doesn't really have much to say, what to say, what to pay attention to...... The team has said it more than once in the past few days, as for the pre-game speech to motivate the players, it is usually only in the last game or the finals, how can anyone have a pre-game speech every game so brain-dead! Besides, if you are willing to speak, people don't want to listen to it!

Wu Huang and several main players are lying on the massage chair at the moment enjoying the masseur's service, and the other players have their own things to do, they are not like last year, a group of people are nervous before the game and don't know what to do? Now these players with playoff experience know that this waiting time is for relaxation, mostly listening to their favorite music or chatting with their teammates and coaching staff...... Dozens of minutes of waiting time passed in the blink of an eye, and most of the players walked out of the locker room without any nervousness, including rookies like Monroe, who were not too nervous after being affected by the overall environment.

The Knicks' official media said before the game that they did not work as hard as last year in the playoff ceremony, except for bringing new technology such as 3D projection, the other links only slightly upgraded the regular season entrance ceremony.

At the moment, everyone in the city thinks that the Knicks can at least reach the Eastern Conference semifinals, and the first-round series is a passing scene for them, so naturally they don't need to go through the trouble like last year, and they look like nouveau riche.

New Yorkers feel that the word "nouveau riche" is an insult to the world's largest metropolis, and New York fans now take this very seriously, and after being ridiculed for decades for being stupid and rich, the team is finally rising, and the team is no longer as lavish as before, and is starting to get by.

The 19,800 home fans had filled the Madison Garden arena half an hour earlier, and although the entrance ceremony was a bit simple, the stadium was filled with cheers as the Knicks players ran out of the tunnel one by one.

The cheers in the stadium were all over the place until Wu Huang came to the peak when he came out on the last appearance, and the scene finally released dazzling lights and realistic 3D projections, and a huge golden dragon robe suddenly appeared on the ground of the entire stadium, which was full of implicit meaning The golden dragon robe filled the entire stadium, and it floated there for as much as half a minute.

The fans at the scene cheered for half a minute at the dragon robe that seemed to have vitality, and then the golden dragon robe shattered and fused one by one, and finally transformed into a golden oriental dragon soaring wantonly on the floor. The beautifully crafted special effects lasted another half a minute, and the dragon footage that filled the entire game floor was turned into a highlight shot of the Knicks players in the regular season, half of which was Wu Huang's solo performance.

"That's not a lot of effort?" Many reporters looked at this big scene made by the basketball mecca, and they were complaining in their hearts, the Knicks have actually learned to pretend invisibly now?!

3D projection was still a new technology at this time, a bit like Hatsune Miku made by Little Japan, but because each performance requires a lot of equipment, and most of these equipment are expensive, the price of each performance is also very expensive.

According to the report of the New York Times, Madison Garden spent a lot of money to add the first set of 3D projection equipment in the league, not to mention how much this equipment costed, the price of each use alone is about 1 million US dollars, you can imagine how much the cost of the full set of equipment will be.

UA finally did something this time, and attentive fans can see the new sneakers on Wu Huang's feet that are also printed with a yellow dragon pattern, and the shape of this dragon is exactly the same as the one projected before.

This Knicks' entrance ceremony is exclusively sponsored by UA, otherwise the Knicks would not have made such a big scene, and the money was all from UA.

This pair on Wu Huang's feet is a playoff-exclusive UA." playoff", since the sneaker still belongs to the second generation, the technology has not been updated, the difference is only the shape.

UA will design a new pair of sneakers for Wu Huang every season, in addition to the original standard version launched at the beginning of the season, there will be a pair of "elite version" before the All-Star break, and there will be a pair of "playoff version" before the playoffs, but all three pairs of sneakers are strictly the same generation, and there will be no difference in technology. The only difference is the color scheme of the sneakers and the slight shape differences. If Wu Huang breaks any records during the season, UA will also see the time to release some commemorative limited edition sneakers.

This season, in addition to these three pairs of sneakers that must be released every season, Wu Huang also has a limited commemorative model engraved with the word "68" to commemorate his career-high 68 points. and a limited-edition commemorative sneaker featuring two three-point contest winners and two AMVPs on his behalf.

These limited-edition commemorative sneakers have their own special patterns, generally only 5,000 pairs will be sold, it represents faith, for crazy fans and wealthy fans, so the price is outrageously high, the official price is 999 US dollars but you need to rush to buy, you can't grab to buy second-hand generally have to add two or three times to buy.

Today, Wu Huang wore a new second-generation sneaker for the first time, and he and UA had a hunch that this pair of sneakers full of Chinese characteristics would definitely sell well. But the premise is that there is enough publicity, so the Knicks must play to the division finals or the finals, otherwise not many people in the world will see these sneakers.

UA has privately prepared more than one projection fee, and every round of the series they will choose a game broadcast live in the United States to play this advertisement, once it reaches the Eastern Conference Finals or the Finals, this advertisement will be played more frequently.

Madison Garden Plaza is not only used by the Knicks, the "New York Islanders" of the ice hockey league, and the "New York Liberty" team of the WNBA all use this arena, but the Knicks themselves paid seventy percent of the cost of this projection equipment, and they almost did it by themselves.

James Dolan fought so hard because he knew that the benefits of this equipment would be much greater than the previous one. Take this playoffs as an example, I don't know how many companies want to use this equipment to advertise themselves, as long as the Knicks play above the Eastern Conference finals for two consecutive years, the cost of this equipment will be fully recovered, and it will be pure profit in the future.

Knicks starting lineup: Wu Huang, Iguodala, Gallinari, Monroe, O'Neal.

Pacers starters: Darren Collisson, Dundee Jones, Danny Granger, Tyler Hansblu, Roy Hibbert.

Vogel didn't use Paul George today, and he still didn't trust the youngster too much, preferring to start with the in-form Dundee Jones.

It's a safe approach, and there's a fundamental difference between a poor start and a bad performance off the bench, and Paul George can't take on that much pressure for the time being.

The Knicks started very smoothly, Collison is an old rival of Wu Huang, there was a lot of gap between the two in college, and now in the NBA, the gap between the two will only get bigger and bigger.

Wu Huang didn't strengthen his personal offensive as soon as he came up, today he has to help his teammates get into the state first, when Xiao Si is not there, he needs these teammates to stand up and reduce his pressure, so as to save him from being besieged by the Pacers, these teammates are not in shape, this should be the scene that the Pacers want to see the most.

In the opening game, under the organization of Wu Huang, Iguodala and O'Neal and others quickly entered the state, especially the big shark became Wu Huang's main point of attack, he could see that Hibbert seemed to be a little nervous, and O'Neal's experience and weight advantage at this time was enough to make the league's third-tallest center fall into embarrassment.

Hibbert was indeed embarrassed, and O'Neal made this big center like a black tower leak his timidity as soon as he tried it.

Hibbert, who is 218cm tall, is actually very average in his core strength, and he will be a little shaky in the face of a solid opponent in the next game, not even as solid as the young big Z, and his body coordination, explosiveness, bounce and agility are not good, which can also be seen from his poor defense and weak chicken's rebounding ability.

O'Neal received consecutive passes in the restricted area, easily squeezed away Hibbert and scored three goals in a row, causing the Pacers to call a timeout for him at the beginning of the game.

"Is this fat guy really going to make a run in the playoffs?" Many people feel that it is not very real when they see this, is O'Neill still hanging like this now?

Vogel's eggs hurt at the moment, he never expected to be beaten by O'Neal as soon as he came up!? Especially rummaging through the chips in his hand, he actually found that he didn't have a large-tonnage center who could be sent to resist O'Neal, the 265-pound Hibbert is currently the heaviest interior line in the Pacers, and the other interior lines are less than 240 pounds, and he must be killed by O'Neal.

"Old fellow, you're not bragging." Wu Huang actually thought in his heart, "You are so lucky", but he patted the dead fat man's ass, ready to let him continue to ravage Hibbert, if they can beat this tall man into two, then they can do whatever they want.

"Haha, I was born for the playoffs." O'Neill scored three goals in a row, and seemed to have found the feeling of youth, and suddenly became energetic.

After the game restarted, Wu Huang's fake fax suddenly not only slammed the Pacers, but also flickered with O'Neal, only one acceleration change of direction went straight to the Pacers' hinterland, and won the first point of this year's playoffs with a one-handed split.

The Pacers' defense originally shrank slightly after the timeout, and Wu Huang's breakthrough made the Pacers dare not shrink the defense easily, and O'Neal on the inside soon received another pass, turned around and made a blocking foul by Hibbert, which really knocked the big man down.

"You're far worse than Yao Ming." O'Neill turned around and mocked, he had learned this kind of taunt after playing with Wu Huang for a long time.

Hibbert is called Black Yao Ming this season, but in fact this is indeed Black Yao Ming, O'Neal is in a good mood after beating this little guy, and he doesn't care about hitting this junior.

Hibbert naturally didn't dare to fight back in the face of O'Neill's complaints, and walked off the court in disgrace, and his self-confidence was seriously hit.

The Pacers did not have a big center on the inside, and they couldn't hold off the Knicks' offense, and Iguodala really had the intention of blocking Granger, the Pacers not only couldn't hold it for a while, but even the offense was blocked by the Knicks, who didn't defend well.

At the end of the half, the Knicks led 16-6, and the scene was completely tilted in favor of the home team.

The Pacers couldn't find a scoring point in the first quarter, and after a couple of timeouts, they actually had to score with Hansblu, and his singles left the young Monroe a little overwhelmed, but it was actually too nervous and experience. But on the other hand, the Pacers, who have been reduced to relying only on Hansbrough to score, are effectively announcing that they are going to kneel in advance. Although he tried his best to keep the score difference at about 10 points, the Knicks played very relaxed, and the inside and outside lines were revitalized, and at the end of the first quarter, with Wu Huang's own personal show, the Knicks rewrote the score to 35:17 in one fell swoop, ending the first quarter with a big lead.

After the first quarter of the game, Knicks fans knew that it was stable today.

Wu Huang played 9 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists in the first quarter, O'Neal had 10 points and 3 rebounds, Iguodala had 6 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, and Gallinari had 5 points.

Today's Knicks not only played well, Radmanovic came up in the second quarter with a three-point shot into the net, while the Pacers' semi-bench lineup played unsatisfactory, Dunleavy Jr. was completely blocked by Danny Green after hitting two shots in a row, Tony Allen misplaced defense Paul George also looked good, and the Knicks' semi-main lineup was replaced in the 7th minute of the second quarter, and being able to play in the playoffs for so long has fully demonstrated that their play has made the coach very satisfied.

The score was 46:28, and the Pacers changed the main force in advance but still failed to narrow the score. Turning his head, after the Knicks' main force came on the court, Gallinari's hand was hot again, and under the instigation of Wu Huang, he scored 8 points in a row, and the Knicks extended their lead again.

Seeing that the game was likely to end in the third quarter, Wu Huang gradually began to take over the game, making consecutive fouls and scoring 4 points with free throws.

Although the Pacers bit the score with the help of the Knicks' tradition of not defending once they took a big lead, Wu Huang's personal attack was unstoppable, scoring like chopping melons and vegetables, and he also hit a 42-foot three-pointer before halftime! The Knicks sealed the score of the first half with 71-45 and almost sealed the victory in the first game of the first round.

"They're too weak!"

"It's just vulnerable!"

"They even said that we were better than the Heat, and we were going to kill them tonight!"

At halftime, the Knicks players almost opened champagne early to celebrate as if they had won the game. Many people are still talking about Granger's pre-game words, when the Pacers said that it was better to beat the Knicks than the Heat, in fact, they had already offended them fiercely.

Wu Huang didn't interfere with his teammates' celebrations, now that the team is leading by a big score and the opponent is the Pacers, there is no need for him to stand up and remind everyone to say things like "can't underestimate the enemy" and "can't be careless". As long as he didn't make such mistakes himself, the second half would not have gotten out of control, and his teammates would not have dared to be presumptuous when he was playing well as a core.

Sure enough, when Wu Huang kicked off the second half with a running shot, even Gallinari, who danced the most happily at halftime, did not dare to play too much, and was still running tactics and defending normally.

Soon after, Granger and Dunleavy Jr. teamed up for an 8-2 attack that saw the Pacers cut the deficit to 20 points. But they were never able to restrain Wu Huang in defense, and the New York Holy Sect Master made consecutive free throws to pull the score to 25 points.

Vogel also tried to trap Wu Huang, but as soon as he caught Wu Huang, he passed the ball, and the Knicks kept the point difference above 25 points with Wu Huang's unstoppable play.

Fifteen seconds before the end of the quarter, Tony Allen received a dunk from Wu Huangmiao's pass to make the third quarter score 102:70, and the Knicks sealed the victory in advance, and the Pacers could not catch up with the 32-point deficit in the final quarter.

After trailing by 32 points after the first three quarters, for the current Pacers, there is no way to chase points, and the victory is decided.

In the fourth quarter, the two sides routinely replaced their bench players, and the final score was 126-96, and the Knicks defeated their opponents at home without blood. (To be continued.) )
