Chapter 117: Intrigues

The next day, while the media was hyping up the Cavaliers' downsand in New York, the Knicks also went to experience back-to-back misery on the road.

On Nov. 8, the Knicks players didn't have time to celebrate the unexpected victory, so they went home and got a good night's sleep, flew to Milwaukee en masse at noon the next day, and then perfectly replicated what happened to the Cavaliers in New York City yesterday.

The Knicks players were affected by yesterday's game and had no touch today, shooting a miserable 8-of-28 three-pointer to end their four-game winning streak with an 89-101 victory.

Wu Huang's performance today declined with the team, playing 33 minutes, and only got 16 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. He shot 5-of-15 from the field and 1-of-5 from three-point range, and today he lost to Brandon, another rookie who has been very good since the start of the game. Jennings, who played 35 minutes and had 20 points and 7 assists, performed slightly better than Wu Huang.

Despite this, the outside media still believes that the "Eastern Rookie of the Month" in November will be included in the palm of Wu Huang without any suspense, and even this week's "Eastern Player of the Week" award is likely to be awarded to Wu Huang.

In the week just ended, the Knicks played a total of four games, and won all four games, sweeping away the unfavorable situation at the beginning of the game, Wu Huang played a crucial role in it, he got 30+ in three games, including a triple-double and a quasi-triple-double, especially yesterday in the home game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Wu Huang defeated the prestigious Little Emperor face-to-face, this game added a lot of points for him.

The New York Media gave Wu Huang Huang his stats for the previous week before the Knicks and Bucks game, averaging 30.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 8.0 assists, 2.3 steals, 2 blocks and 3.5 turnovers in four games. Shooting 50% from the field. 45% three-point shooting. 90% free throw shooting.

Wu Huang was definitely one of the best players in the East this week, and his biggest opponents were James of the Cavaliers and Wade of the Heat, but one of them was beaten head-on by his team, and the other had a 2-1 team record this week. The result was just as expected by the media - the winner of the "Eastern Conference Player of the Week" in the second week of the NBA2009-2010 season was the New York Knicks' first-year rookie Wu Huang!

In this way, Wu Huang set a new NBA record - he became the "fastest rookie to win the Player of the Week", and if anyone wants to surpass him, he must win this award in the first week of the new season, which is understandably difficult.

ESPN affirmed Wu's leadership role after he received the award. "Hugo was more ferocious defensively than he was in college, more aggressive offensively, he was able to get into the game early in the first quarter, and most importantly he played his leadership qualities, and he got better and better with his teammates."

On Nov. 10, the Knicks returned home to play the Utah Jazz.

Wu Huang encountered another challenge in this game, the last time the Knicks played against the Hornets, he was defeated by the queen bee Chris. Paul taught a lesson, and today he met Delon, the little fat man who specializes in restraining Paul. Williams, but as a result, many experts fell off the ground.

The Jazz's interior played normally in this game. Easily beat the Knicks' David. Lee and Frye et al.

Carlos. Boozer went on a rampage inside, scoring 26 points and 15 rebounds. Kirilenko, a top wing big man who has slipped down, rebounded strongly today to score 23 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, while Oku also contributed 20 points and 12 rebounds. However, the Jazz's leading star Delon . Williams only scored five points on 2-of-10 shooting, but he still had 16 assists and six rebounds, and he was not completely disgraced by the rookie Wu Huang.

The Knicks were wiped out on the inside today, and Harrington was also exposed under the full defense of AK47, and he couldn't score at all. But it doesn't matter, the Knicks' guard line saved face for the team today, and Wu Huang, the leading big brother, used his flexibility and height to make the little fat man disgraced, which surprised New York fans!

Don't think Chris. Paul can teach Emperor Wu a lesson, and Delong often makes Paul dumb, so he thinks that Emperor Wu should be beaten by Delong!

These are two different things, and the opposite is true.

Wu Huang gave full play to his flexible and fast characteristics today, and did not stop throwing after the break, stop-and-go jump shots and breakthrough points to make the little fat man tired, and in the past, Delong could use his excellent defensive position, stronger strength and height to limit Paul in his early 180cm.

But in the face of Emperor Wu today, these methods of the little fat man are useless, as long as he is far away, Emperor Wu will immediately pull out on the spot; was close, and he couldn't keep up with Emperor Wu's speed; Especially the blocking and dismantling cooperation between Wu Huang and his own interior line, this game made Sloan, the head coach who lives with "blocking and dismantling offense", very unhappy!

The Utah Jazz can't resist their best tricks, which is similar to D'Antoni being killed by the Spurs with a bombardment.

Wu Huang played his own characteristics in this game, he used his accurate various shots to cut down 28 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists. Hughes scored the second-highest 20 points on the team. Green also had 15 points on the account, and David Brown. Lee, Harrington and Gallinari scored eight points each, putting in a sluggish performance.

The Utah Jazz, who have a 2-4 record this season, struggled to bounce back on the road today, leading the first three quarters, but the fourth quarter became the Achilles weakness of the Jazz, who led by 14 points in the first three quarters before the New York Knicks equalized with 1:30 left to go.

Oku's final 30 seconds in the restricted area gave the Jazz a two-point lead, but at the critical moment, Wu Huang used his off-ball run to let the Jazz leak a fatal open three-point opportunity. Wu Huang naturally will not be soft, and an accurate three-point shot made the Jazz team suffer a quasi-kill.

Deron's final shot was deflected off the line, and the Knicks won their fifth game of the new season.

After this battle, the Utah Jazz suffered three consecutive defeats and completely fell out of the top 10 in the West.

It's kind of hilarious, and even the New Yorkers themselves didn't think about it. The Knicks rebounded decisively after two consecutive losses in the opening season. Now he has an excellent record of 5 wins and 3 losses. Temporarily in the 5th position in the East. The point is that these opponents are not weak, the Hornets, Cavaliers, and Jazz were all the top teams in the league last season, and the Knicks' victory over these teams has made fans and players more and more confident in themselves.

#####

"You say, can we finish in the top four this season and get home advantage in the first round of the playoffs?" Fresh off the home win over the Utah Jazz, some Knicks players started to swell during the next day's recovery workout, and Gallinari was doing a high leg lift with his teammates. Actually home advantage in the YY playoffs.

"The regular season has just begun, so it's too early to say that, but you think about how many of those eight games have been a matter of luck and risk." Emperor Wu was very dissatisfied with this complacency, and immediately took out the core majesty and knocked Gallinari twice, which was a bit of an excuse.

But it wasn't his deliberate embarrassment for Gallinari, who won five games, mostly at home, with one of them being a blow and one of them back-to-back. There was also a thrilling quasi-lore, and the other two were underdogs. In fact, none of them were really hard-fought battles.

Wu Huang knows that this kind of win is too fortuitous, as long as he is a little less lucky, or he does not fight at home, it may not be 5-3, but 3-5 or even worse.

D'Antoni is on the sidelines at the moment with assistant coach Mike D'Antoni at the moment. Woodson discusses the team's defensive issues, and as a manager who has won the best coach, the average fan might think that he only attacks, not defends. But that's not possible, and D'Antoni isn't a bit defence-conscious, but it has to be given the right players first.

Mustache's basketball system is particularly demanding of players, and he's not the kind of coach who is good at developing rookies and making the team a strong team. What he's best at is turning a quasi-All-Star into an All-Star and a good team into a top team, but it's really hard for him to coach a weak team.

'We need more athleticism, but there are a lot of people in the squad who don't have enough talent. D'Antoni said half a word to Woodson, but the latter understood what he meant, and the mustache didn't want to spend time developing the team's rookies, which would take too long.

D'Antoni is actually a quick temper, he can't tolerate such a slow pace at all, if you want to play, you have to play "fast", whether it is the game or the development of rookies, in fact, he is not willing to give rookies too many opportunities, unless it is a champion like Wu Huang.

"If you want to trade, there aren't many players who are suitable for this year, and Downey is also a problem on his side, and you know that he wants to catch a big fish like James or Anthony next year, and I'm afraid there will be no action this year." Woodson pondered for a moment and said that he knew D'Antoni wanted to make a big deal this year, but managing director Donnie Brown. Walsh wants to make another move next summer, and only by poaching a superstar like James can he show his value as a general manager, so there will be a serious conflict between Donnie and D'Antoni on many things.

D'Antoni and Downey. Walsh has his own calculations in his heart, and most of the top management of any team, unless it is a part-time head coach and general manager, like Dunleavy Sr., is fighting for power, but it is just a matter of importance.

The mustache certainly won't be with Donnie. Worthen has a really good relationship, and both of them want to have a bigger say and more power in the Knicks, and having some key players from their own faction on the team is certainly a good idea.

"You and I both understand his thoughts, but now the situation has changed, and his wishful thinking has been disrupted by the player he fancies." D'Antoni initially thought that Emperor Wu was a descendant of Donnie, because Emperor Wu was Downey. Walsh to James. Dolan's highly recommended draft target.

But later, D'Antoni found out that Wu Huang didn't stand in line at all, and he wouldn't help anyone make a sound in front of the team owner, so during this time, the mustache was more attentive to Wu Huang's teaching.

Wu Huang chose not to stand in line, this is a very wise choice, if he stands with the general manager, then D'Antoni may be fired at any time, can you imagine how much attention such a coach will put into coaching?

Moreover, his initial attitude of "not taking sides" has changed, and Emperor Wu is now leaning more and more towards D'Antoni because he also discovered that Donnie. Walsh has always wanted to poach a superstar for the Knicks, which is certainly his responsibility as a general manager, but it has a big conflict with Wu Huang's interests.

Just imagine, if there is a superstar on the team all of a sudden, and it is very likely to be an outside superstar, where will he take his place?

The current Wu Huang and D'Antoni actually have a similar idea, if the current batch of young players can be exchanged for an all-star player in his playing year, instead of a supergiant, then Wu Huang's core position will be stable, and D'Antoni is not afraid that there will be an additional superstar in the team who is a general manager and a superstar to affect his status.

Secondly, it is no secret that D'Antoni wants to poach Xiao Si from the Suns next year, but this does not conflict with Wu Huang, Stoudemire is an interior star, and he is not a supergiant. That way, he's got an All-Star and a quasi-superstar to support him, the team as a whole is strong, and he's at the core, so it's a win-win situation.

D'Antoni is very cunning, he knows very well that his boss knows a little about basketball, and he is very good at changing his mind, so he can take advantage of the team's good record for a while, and the media is also frantically bragging about the timing of Wu Huang, so as to fool his fickle boss.

If you can quickly cook the raw rice and trade an All-Star player this season, and then recruit Stoudemire for free next year, then Donnie, the director of team operations, will be completely fancy, and the entire team will be his descendant, and the management of the Knicks is basically his word.

At that time, if D'Antoni wanted to get rid of Donnie, he could have instigated the players to hold a collective meeting to get rid of the general manager and take power alone!

Knicks assistant coach Michael Brown. Woodson and Downey. Walsh doesn't have a good relationship, he's already on the sidelines, and the two have been pondering a suitable trade plan for the past few days. However, no matter what kind of transaction, they must first explain to Emperor Wu before they have a chance to complete it.

It has always been the right of the general manager to make a trade, and D'Antoni is not a manager who wants to go too far, but the core of the team can directly skip the management and make suggestions to the owner.

Therefore, D'Antoni plans to take advantage of this time when Wu Huang was blown by the media as a genius comparable to Jordan, and persuaded Dolan to trade through Wu Huang.

James. Dolan has invited Wu Huang to his home many times recently, and this businessman is very optimistic about this core who can help him make money and improve the team's performance, so let alone ask for a deal, even if Wu Huang wants to fire the team's general manager and head coach in one go, it is not impossible.

D'Antoni thought that as long as he could convince Emperor Wu to ask James. Dolan has made a request for a trade, and his plan to bring in reinforcements is likely to be completed.

James. Dolan is now a bit like the Cavaliers' boss who is trying to spoil James in any way, as long as Emperor Wu doesn't on his head, then everything is negotiable. (To be continued.) )
