"This kind of FLAG also dares to stand, it seems that they really think they will eat us." Wu Huang was joking with his teammates in the locker room before the game, they heard the crazy words of the Magic players before the game, and they didn't feel angry at all, this is their purpose, the other party should be a little more arrogant.

Wu Huang nodded secretly, it seems that after hypnotizing himself, there is also the additional effect of immunity to anger. Even if his teammates are pointed at and scolded by the Magic players or the outside media, they will probably not be angry, but will feel that their plan has succeeded even more.

The Knicks made their home court look like the Finals in the last round of the series, and the side effect is that they really can't think of any new tricks today, and the fans are not in the mood to make any bigger scenes, and until now they don't know if their core will play tonight? New York fans want to see their core alive on the field more than the entrance ceremony.

At the home team's entrance ceremony, when Wu Huang was the last to run out of the players' tunnel, the entire Madison Garden instantly felt like a killer goal, and the sound of 20,000 fans erupted was comparable to the **** detonation of a bomb, and the Magic players felt the vibration outside in the passage inside the stadium.

Wu Huang saw that he was still supported by the fans, so he was a little relieved. The previous fake news also caused some side effects, many fans thought that his behavior of calling chickens before the game had no professional ethics, many forums had people post bitches about him, and Wu Huang was also worried that he would lose too many fans, especially female fans.

"If I can't win this game, I'll probably be in trouble, and who knows if people outside will believe his teammates' explanations?" It's coming. Emperor Wu felt that the pressure on himself was too great. this game. His teammates may not be under much pressure, but he has to win, because the loser has no human rights, and many people will not believe the explanation of a loser, will he play big this time?

After the Magic team entered the court, the players of the two teams shook hands with each other in a fake manner, and when it was the turn of Wu Huang and Howard to exchange polite exchanges, the latter had a smile on his face. He bowed his head and said, "You are weak in the feet of only two people, who is not strong enough in the lower limbs?" ”

Emperor Wu also smiled kindly, pretending to be very happy, and said, "Clown, go and wipe your face, I will make you feel a few inches of pain in a while." The implication was to let Howard continue to "pretend", and by the way, mocked the size of a certain part of the opponent.

Howard couldn't laugh anymore, he wanted to scold his mother directly, but he felt that it was ungraceful, and he stared at Wu Huang who was stunned on the other side with wide eyes, as if he was still waiting for him to talk. He could only take a strong breath and turn away, because he really couldn't think of any other way to fight back than foul mouth. But the good-faced Warcraft doesn't want to appear uneducated, although everyone knows that he is a high school student.

"Won't you fight back? I'm just getting started! "Wu Huang didn't expect that Howard would be so ineffective when he was one-on-one, and he dared to argue with him before the game with this skill, I really don't know how to write the word 'death'.

Wu Huang took the jackpot first, and this blood was sent by the other party himself, which may be a good sign for today's game.

There is no suspense in the battle of words between Howard and Wu Huang, and there is no need to guess the outcome of the opening scrum, and few people can confront Howard in this link in the past two years.

David Lee didn't bother to jump at all, and turned around to defend himself as soon as he raised his hand.

The starting lineups of the two teams did not change today, and Petrus at the Magic No. 3 position was originally weak in three-point shooting, but in six playoff games this year, he shot 45% from three-point range, which is actually the highest on the team. At the same time, Nelson, Redick, Barnes and Anderson all shot above 40% from three-point range, and the Magic team in this year's playoffs was ridiculously accurate outside the three-point line, which is one of the main reasons why they have not tasted defeat, and the Knicks did not dare to easily wrap Howard inside in the face of such a terrible three-point shot.

As soon as the game started, Howard hit two easy shots under the basket in a row, leading the Magic to a 6-2 start, and David Lee was still helpless against this monster that could smash the basket when he squeezed into the restricted area.

"Hell, what did Dolan do? Didn't blow a foul even after hitting twice? Wu Huang was secretly unhappy in his heart, this is their home court, Howard can still rely on his physical advantage to force to the basket without being whistled for a foul, does the league want to praise Howard this year?

It's hard for Wu Huang not to think so, it seems that after playing in the second round, the league will no longer give him special preferential treatment, he no longer enjoys the same star whistle treatment as Kobe and James, and the referee's punishment to him is only relatively fair, but the clown on the opposite side has enjoyed his treatment in the first round, which is obviously biased towards Magic.

He was still angry here, and Nelson saw an opportunity to take advantage of it, and reached out to break the ball, but was turned around by Emperor Wu.

"It's so easy for you to break the ball, and I can retire." Wu Huang dribbled to the inside, faced Lewis's help defense and quickly passed the ball, Fry received the pass and hit a three-point shot against Carter, who had switched defenses, and this shot was very resolute.

Madison Garden resounded with the first collective cheer of the New York fans today, and Wu Huang also received the first assist of the game.

He didn't expect that this ball seemed to open all the floodgates of the Knicks, and in the next three attacks, Wu Huang just passed a few balls at random, but the Knicks players made a decisive move as soon as they had the opportunity, plus the previous three-point, the Knicks played a 10:0 attack wave of 4 shots in less than two minutes, and overtook the score in one breath.

Wu Huang received two direct assists and two indirect assists in these four shots, and the Knicks' offense was extremely simple - Wu Huang broke through and distributed the ball to the weakest area of defense, and the person who received the ball shot directly if he had the opportunity, and if he didn't have a chance, he would lead the Magic players to rotate and then pass, and the second or third person who received the ball also made a decisive shot at the first opportunity, and the Knicks' four shots were all completed in the first three passes, and they all hit.

"It seems that the three-point shots in the first two days were not practiced in vain, and today they are all so accurate?" Wu Huang himself has not made a move, but seeing that his teammates feel so good, he is also happy to brush up on assists. It's the easiest game like this.

8 minutes and 25 seconds in the first quarter. The score is 14:8. The Knicks opened the game with a six-point lead on nearly 100-of-100 shots, their best start in three games.

Big Van Gundy couldn't help but call a timeout, he had to find a way to reduce the Knicks' shooting percentage, and if he continued to play like this, it would be easy for the opposite side to feel like a hit, and it would be difficult to clean up at that time.

The Magic's timeout was timely, but it wasn't "it wasn't going to be easy to clean up then," it was that it's not going to be good now.

The Knicks players were in a good frame of mind today. Although the referee did not blow the home whistle, at least it was not as damn as the away whistle, in this case, it is not easy to cool down their feelings.

After the timeout, although Carter Sr. scored 4 points in a row, David Lee actually grabbed a frontcourt rebound from Howard's head under the basket and made a two-and-one rebound.

David Lee is unusual. After the opening game, the Monster made a foul, which put Madison Garden into a climax for the first time. Everyone was shouting David Lee's name.

"Well done, you're better than him on the offensive end, and show him how a real center strikes." Wu Huang rushed forward and punched David Lee twice in the chest, deliberately making another provocative speech next to Howard.

Howard couldn't help it, turned to Nelson and said, "Jamil, let him know how a real point guard goes off." ”

Nelson heard that he wanted to be a dog, this was really innocent, he didn't want to spray with Wu Huang, a guy whose mouth couldn't be idle, and secretly slandered in his heart: If you are willing to scold him, then you can fight him alone, why do you want to pull others into the water?

David Lee hit a free throw, and this time the two plus one gave him a surge in confidence, but of course he wouldn't let Howard see the real center's style of play as Wu Huang said. If he doesn't take it upon himself to go head-to-head with Howard in the low post, he'll be taught a lesson on how to defend a true center.

The New York center is quick to pull up to the high post and shoot from mid-range, which is the offensive way he could have the upper hand against Howard.

Howard chose to keep a one-and-a-half-distance defense with David Lee, a position where he had time to step forward to block and have enough time to return to the basket, which he used to keep David Lee from playing in the first two games.

But things were a little different today, as Lee landed further away from the basket and quickly hit a long-range two-pointer from 20 feet away.

David Lee's shot this time is close to the three-point line, this is a shot outside his extreme range, it is rare to see a shot at this distance in the past, he is best at 15 feet to 18 feet in the middle range, more than 18 feet is not too sure, more than 20 feet is already out of range, but today David Lee hit a total of 3 20-foot long shots in the first quarter about 20 feet.

This distance made Howard passive, as he was a little too late to return to the box if he followed up, and his first task was always to protect the box from Wu Huang and Iguodala's breakthrough threat, which resulted in David Lee scoring nine points in the first quarter.

Frye and Harrington hit two three-pointers in the first quarter, Green and Iguodala also hit a three-pointer, and the Knicks had a smooth first quarter of the game, but the Magic lost their first six games on the road.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 36:26, and the Knicks shot 12 of 19 in the quarter, 6 of 8 three-pointers, and 6 of 6 free throws.

Wu Huang swallowed a big duck egg in this quarter, and did not score a point in the first quarter, but he gained 3 rebounds and 6 assists, and he looked very cool with assists.

In the first quarter, Wu Huang's breakthrough had obviously gotten rid of the defenders, but he still made an extra move to distribute the basketball to Harrington, who was following up, in the restricted area, and once again chose to assist rather than score.

The Knicks also once again used the method of blocking people inside and rushing outside in the scramble for rebounds, which made Wu Huang's rebounds and assists extremely dazzling again, and some fans have guessed that he wants to get another triple-double.

Big Van Gundy scratched his head a little, the Knicks's routine has not changed much, but has become simpler, but people just shoot accurately, just like three full blood T's guarding the bag at the bag point, a CT with residual blood without a big gun and pliers holding a metaphysical sand eagle with closed eyes and a shot on the head, and finally dismantling the bag with bare hands, which will definitely make you have the urge to delete the game.

Section II. Each team left two starters on the field. "Warcraft" went on a killing spree and cut 5 points in a row. Before he could grin, Harrington hit another three-pointer from Ryan Anderson's head.

The Magic's white shooter was good at shooting, but the defense was a little tight, and when Maddy also broke through Anderson after the pick-and-roll, and finally made a frustrating pull-up jumper, the big Van Gundy immediately switched to the Polish hammer Gortat.

According to his balding brother, this sleepy man has already lost less than thirty percent of his strength, and even he can easily score. That means that there is something wrong with their own defense.

Poland's interior is good in all aspects, his physical fitness is definitely not a disadvantage among players of this height, he can play low post on the offensive end, can cut into the basket after blocking and scoring, and his 15-foot shooting is also accurate, so it can be said that on the offensive end, he already has the qualities that most interior players should have.

Gortat is not only remembered by many teams for his versatility on the offensive end, but also because his rebounding, low-post defense, and pick-and-roll ability are all above average, and such an all-around interior player is a rarity in today's league.

But his flaws are also obvious, although his various skills are between B- and B. But none of them are considered top-level, he belongs to the kind of interior line who has a good ability to grab points behind the team's boss and second. But it won't work for him to do the main attack on his own.

However, after playing two minutes on the court, Gortat didn't even earn a rebound or a shot, and his position overlapped completely with Howard, and it was often very embarrassing for Poles and Howard to play together, because his favorite position must have been occupied by the Monster, and he didn't know where to stand.

At 9 minutes and 30 seconds in the second quarter, Wu Huang finally got the first score of the game, which was a mid-range pull-up jump shot, Nelson kept up with Wu Huang's breakthrough, but was shaken up by Wu Huang's feints to make a foul, and Wu Huang finally opened Hu through two free throws.

"Man, come to New York next season, we need a big guy like you who can be reliable, the Magic only give you ten minutes of playing time per game, do you want to stay here in your prime?" Emperor Wu once again sacrificed the Dafa of Fooling, and this was the second time he had launched a discord against the Magic players.

Gortat didn't answer, he was really dissatisfied with his role in the team and playing time, but he wouldn't be stupid enough to show his thoughts at this time, but Wu Huang's words appealed to him a lot, so not saying anything was the best choice.

Wu Huang smiled, he has encountered too many situations in this situation, the current Knicks are not as crowded as a year ago, and now the Knicks have become fragrant again, they have returned to the ranks of the playoff teams this season, and now they have reached the second round, and many players whose contracts have expired have taken New York, which has a lot of salary space, as one of their next stops, especially those inside players.

Now who doesn't know, what the Knicks lack the most is the inside, Wu Huang's reputation is not very bad, at least I haven't heard him publicly complain about the situation of his teammates, David Lee and Frye's data this season are also good, which proves that he is not a point guard who scraps his interior teammates, so many interior players whose contracts expire regard the rich Knicks as their first choice.

After Wu Huang fell behind the magic 0:2, he felt more and more that they didn't need to get any celebrity insiders, instead of spending 20 million to get Xiao Si, it was better to get two or three seven or eight million annual salaries, and they had a skill. When the Knicks meet the so-called No. 1 center like Howard again, they can completely let three or four interior lines go to the wheel battle.

Gortat is one of his targets, this level of interior can be poached without an annual salary of seven or eight million, and they can sign a few single players like Scola, West, Millsap, Chandler, Gortat, Perkins, Vallejo and other single players who are either offensive and defensive strong, and then adjust their playing time according to the opponent, which is definitely more worth it than spending a lot of money to get a Stoudemire.

After the start of the second quarter, Howard's hand began to decline. At 7 minutes and 22 seconds, he attacked David Lee in the low post, but the latter stuck the position very hard this time, Howard couldn't grab the position for half a day, and he was about to break the rules with his back for 5 seconds, so he turned around and swung an iron elbow to repel David Lee in a hurry.

The referee was not blind and decisively awarded an offensive foul, otherwise the home fans would have rebelled.

"Hell!" Howard slapped the basketball with his hand, his second foul, and there was most of the first half to go. He is not in a safe position now.

"Well done. He will use brute force. There's no low footwork at all, he's just a clown when he's not playing at home. Emperor Wu stepped forward and pulled David Lee and continued to provoke Howard, while signaling Iguodala to dribble and he was going to add some more material to Howard.

"Are you good? Do you have the ability to score a goal for me to see? Howard sneered at him when he passed by, and Emperor Wu still only had two points in the account, and there were a lot of slots.

"Idiot, I've got seven assists. And I'm not like you, I can score whenever I want, and you can only arch in the low post like a wild boar. By the way, what about Ewing taught you a low step, did you eat it? ”

Wu Huang Biao's trash talk was extremely fast, and he didn't give Howard a chance to interject at all, and adjectives such as "clown" and "idiot" made Howard more and more unbearable, so when Wu Huang deliberately slowed down in front of him after halftime, the hot-blooded monster couldn't help but push.

"This idiot has finally been fooled!" Wu Huang laughed in his heart, of course he fell down with a soft push. The referee's whistle sounded again, and Howard's foul was at least a technical foul even on his home court.

The referee had been staring at the two men early in the morning. Wu Huang and Howard chattered along the way, as long as they are not blind, they know that they are talking trash talk, but as long as they don't do it, the referee is not willing to dig too deep, but once they do, it will definitely be a technical foul.

Howard regretted it after pushing Wu Huang, and hurriedly explained to the referee after hearing the whistle: "Mr. referee, he deliberately blocked in front of me, I just wanted to push him away, I have no malicious intent." ”

Wu Huang stood up immediately after being pushed down, and said with a very hurtful mocking smile: "This explanation is really ridiculous, when you are driving on the highway, as long as someone is in front of you, you have to step on the accelerator and knock him off, do you only walk in a straight line?" ”

Howard was choked by Wu Huang's face turned red, and the referee didn't pay attention to anyone on the side, just showed a technical foul to Howard and left, and the ball was returned to the Knicks, and the home team was given a free throw for nothing.

The fans at Madison Garden began to laugh and sarcastically at Howard, and Wu Huang shrugged his shoulders at him and said in an even more annoying tone: "You just said 'if you have the ability, you will score a goal', I thought you were joking, but I didn't expect to give me such a big gift." Don't worry, I won't let down your kindness, and I'm the best at free throws. ”

Carter hurriedly stepped forward and pulled away Howard, whose face was flushed and looked like he was about to explode, and persuaded in a low voice: "Dwight, you can't fight this kind of person, don't pay attention to him anymore." ”

Nelson also advised: "Yes, we don't need to talk to him, just eliminate them is the best response."

Howard took a few deep breaths to suppress the anger in his heart, to hell with the fact that there were media who thought he was a good fit for the Knicks! Whoever he plays with in his life, he will never be teammates with such a guy.

Wu Huang hit a free throw, Harrington then drew a foul on Lewis and made two more free throws, Iguodala quickly made another three-point jumper, and the Knicks quickly widened the difference. In the final three minutes of the first half, they led by 14 points at 58:44, the largest margin of lead in the Knicks series.

Carter finally broke out in adversity, he broke through Iguodala's defense and almost hit a three-point shot, and then assisted Howard to dunk under the basket to make two and one, setting off a wave of 7-0 small counterattacks by the Magic team to narrow the difference.

There are also a lot of players who can stand up on the Knicks' side, Iguodala burst to the basket at a critical moment to assist Wu Huang to hit a three-point shot, this is the first time that the New York core has shot outside the three-point line, and the home fans immediately gave Wu Huang thunderous cheers and applause who has already got 8 assists today!

Wu Huang felt a little bit of a thigh today, although he had a lot of assists, but most of them were not empty passes, many times his teammates gave his pass and shot it into the basket when there was defense. But regardless, his stats are out there, and he's getting closer to his third triple-double in the playoffs.

At 2:33, Wu Huang didn't play well with the ball, and Nelson was about to launch a counterattack after struggling to complete the break, but Fry had already taken a step sideways to fly out and touch the basketball back to Harrington.

After Harrington got the basketball, he looked around for his teammates, Wu Huang was still in the restricted area at the moment, and was trying to come out to catch the ball and reorganize, and as soon as he turned around, he received a pass from Harrington's pit father, who actually felt that he had a chance to score with his back to the basket at this time?

"Isn't this a trick for me?" Wu Huang turned his back to Howard at the moment, and the latter reached out to cover him firmly, his current position and the way he received the ball were very embarrassing, and he was completely dumbfounded as soon as people surrounded him.

"This way!" Iguodala cut from the baseline to the back in time, although Wu Huang was in the direction of his back to the basket, but when he heard Iguodala's voice, he quickly judged the position of his teammates, and directly passed the basketball from his crotch, and the basketball smashed on the floor and penetrated Howard's small door by the way.

Iguodala received an incredible pass, rushed to the basket for a big windmill dunk, and glided to the other end of the basket to dunk the ball with a backhand.

The dunk stunned New York fans, and the Knicks' on-site commentator shouted at the top of his voice: "Dear Orlando, do you know who he is?" He's called the Basket Breaker! His dunk rage is unusual! He hung his hands on the basket as if to say, 'Your basket is also mine.'" ”

Iguodala hit his chest hard when he landed, and the ball not only sent the home fans into a frenzy, but also made him feel full.

"Your legs are too wide." Wu Huang taunted again, but this time Howard stopped firing back and ran to the front with a blank face.

He still listened to the advice of his teammates and no longer bothered with Wu Huang.

But after being scored such a wonderful dunk, the Magic's counterattack lacked consistency, Carter hit a jumper, but Iguodala soon broke through again to score a layup, and Howard's block did not have an effect in front of a somewhat crazy Iguodala this time.

Not only did it have no effect, Wu Huang quickly assisted Iguodala from the wing to the basket, and this time the first brother faced Howard's block and directly chose to solve the problem with a dunk!

"Oh no, fooled!" Howard wasn't going to let Iguodala dunk again, but he realized he wasn't jumping vertically when he got off the block, and if that block didn't cover the basketball, it was a foul.

Iguodala deliberately jumped in a position where he was likely not to dunk in an attempt to trick Howard into blocking, and now that the goal has been achieved, he doesn't need to shoot hard at all, as long as he makes physical contact with Howard.

"Toot!" Towards the end of the first half, Howard picked up his third foul on Iguodala and gave away two free throws.

The whole Knicks rushed up to celebrate the free throw with Iguodala, and whether Howard is off the court now has little impact on them in the first half, but carrying three fouls will directly affect Howard's defensive deterrence in the second half, and it is finally not them who are in foul crisis today.

David Lee breathed a sigh of relief next to him, he, like Wu Huang, did not take a minute off in the first half, but his pressure was obviously much greater, today he has been playing with Howard outside the box, fortunately the referee did not blow the away whistle, he now only has two fouls for the time being.

Today, David Lee may be able to prevent Howard from breaking out, which is already the biggest success for the Knicks.

Wu Huang handed out another assist before halftime, and the Knicks led by 15 points at halftime at 65:50.

At this time, the fans who pressed the Magic subsistence allowance have begun to panic, looking at this rhythm, the Knicks are ready to pull the score to 1:2. (To be continued.) )
