Chapter 180: All-Star Weekend
The Knicks' game against the Wizards was the first time in Wu's career that he was absent due to injury, and the Knicks, without a core point guard, lost their winning streak on the road, Miller had a great three-point shot, scoring 25 points on 7-of-10 three-point shooting, and Jamison also contributed a double-double - 21 points and 23 rebounds as they led the Wizards to a 106-96 home victory over the New York Knicks.
"Yesterday's incident, it seems that she had a little misunderstanding." Emperor Wu asked Emma Roberts out the next day and told him about yesterday. "She already knows that you have been here, not only that, but it seems that she has also misunderstood that you and I have been secretly dating her secretly, this misunderstanding is very deep, and this is something I have always dared to think about but dare not do." When Emperor Wu said this, he also felt that he was too cheap, so he had to tease at this time, so he quickly changed his words: "Uh, I'm sorry!" I mean, you don't have to hide it from her, it's only going to make her more misunderstood. ”
"I see...... Well, I'll go to her in a moment and make it clear. Emma Roberts looked apologetic, and later heard Emperor Wu's teasing and was a little shy, "I know that I did this too much that day, and I will definitely explain the matter to her." By the way, did you explain it to her? ”
Emperor Wu looked stinky and said with a smile: "Explain what, I don't want to spoil her." But he said in his heart: "Of course I have to explain, but I want you to help me explain, otherwise why should I ask you to say this?" That stinky bitch actually blacklisted my phone, damn it! ”
#####
At the end of January, Wu Huang was once again re-elected as the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month, and his stats did not change much after 44 games, averaging 35.6 minutes per game, contributing 22.9 points, 6.0 rebounds, 8.8 assists, 2.6 steals, 1.1 blocks and 3.8 turnovers, shooting 46.3% from the field and 41.6% from three-point range. He shot 87.2 percent from the free-throw line.
Now Wu Huang is already on the list of various lists, ranking 12th on the scoring list, this ranking is a bit low, but ranking 4th in the assist list and first in the steals list, these two lists alone are enough to double Wu Huang's value. Add to that the scoring average, which is close to 23 points per game, and he is already ranked 8th on the MVP list.
Nowhere was this more evident than in the Knicks' game against the Wizards, where Wu Huang had a significant impact on the offensive end, as the Knicks were third in the league in offensive efficiency (112.1 points per 100 possessions) when he was on the floor, and fifth lowest in the league in offensive efficiency (99.1 points per 100 possessions) when he wasn't available.
Two days later, the Knicks played away against the Timberwolves, and Wu Huang's small cold was finally cured. He had 26 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, and Gallinari also scored 20 points, but David Lee, who has been performing well recently, did not bargain for anything against Al Jefferson and Love, and only had 10 points and 8 rebounds in the game, while the Timberwolves' two interior players combined to deliver 56 points and 24 rebounds.
The Knicks' problem has always been on the inside, and now that All-Star Weekend is approaching and the trade deadline is approaching, the Knicks' trade proposal has been rejected by the teams.
The Suns and Raptors certainly know they may not be able to keep Smalls and Bosh next season. But it's unlikely that they'll be able to afford the Knicks, and these teams still have expectations in their hearts. Even if they really can't keep people next season, they want to convince players to sign and trade, so the Knicks now want to use Maddie to rob, and there is little hope of success.
Wu Huang lost the match, and when he returned to the hotel, he tried to call Taylor Swift, but he still couldn't get through.
"Do you want me to come and beg for mercy?" Wu Huang put down the phone. He could guess what the stinky girls were thinking now, but he didn't want to go to the door to die, once she rode on him, it would be difficult to turn over in the future. After being together for so long, Taylor Swift is typical of three days without fighting. went to the house to uncover the tiles, and if she was too spoiled, she would be ridden by her.
Unbeknownst to Emperor Wu, Emma Roberts was talking to Taylor Swift......
"Sister Taylor, Hugo and I really aren't what you think we are."
"Emma, you don't need to explain, we've known each other for so long, I saw your car when I went that day, I know the whole thing has nothing to do with you, I just want to see what he will do, you must not tell him."
Taylor Swift chatted with Emma Roberts for a while, and after hanging up the phone, he was so angry that he threw his iPhone on the wall and smashed it to pieces!
"Dead monkey, you have a kind, you won't come to coax me for three days, if you dare to come, I have to bite you to death!" Taylor Swift waited at home for three days, Wu Huang just didn't come to beg for mercy, and it was not a way to wait any longer, Taylor Swift received a call from Emma Roberts, and she could only be used as a microphone.
In fact, she had already seen that Emma Roberts was interested in Emperor Wu, so in less than five minutes, Emperor Wu must have known what she had just said, and it was strange that the little spy didn't tell the guy she had a crush on.
Taylor Swift guessed correctly, but in less than five minutes, Wu Huang's phone rang.
"I see, that slut is actually waiting for me to come to my door to die? Haha, then you have to wait! Wu Huang got the spy revelation and continued to call Taylor Swift, but he just didn't come to the door to beg for mercy, so he didn't receive this call from Emma Roberts.
On February 3, Wu Huang sent the tickets for the game to Taylor Swift by courier in advance, and found someone to write an extremely sensual love letter for him and send it together, but he still refused to come to the door in person to make amends.
Taylor Swift was so angry that he received the tickets and the letter and called Emma Roberts again.
Emma Roberts naturally swore on the phone that she would never betray her, and Taylor Swift was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood when he heard this, and said that his aunt and grandmother just want you to pass on the news, if you don't tell the truth, how can he come to beg me for mercy?
"Damn, did she really say nothing? Or did she say something I didn't know? Taylor Swift saw Emma Roberts sitting on the sidelines on live TV, and for a moment felt that she had been completely betrayed by the so-called good sisters, maybe that damn panties were put there by someone premeditated, otherwise why would she leave in a panic when she heard that she was going up?
Wu Huang didn't know that the underwear made the two girlfriends about to turn against each other, and they were in Madison Square Garden at the moment. The Knicks are back at home against the Washington Wizards.
Speaking of which, this season's wizards are really unlucky, Wu Huang looked at Mike James and Boykins opposite him, and wanted to pull out Chloe Moretz's dead girl and beat him up!
Boykins is the shortest player in the league, standing only 165cm tall and 34 years old. You can imagine how easy it is to score on his head. As for Mike James, who is a year older than Boikins, the fake gang owner disappeared after a year of the Raptors' outbreak, and is now reduced to a fringe player, also a real CBA player.
With such a lineup, if Emperor Wu can play in the last game, he has every chance to score 50+ points, after all, Kobe's 81 points are brushed up with the fake gang leader.
Mike James was a typical lone back then, a big colander on the defensive end, but he still has the strength on the offensive end. It's just that he's 35 years old now, and considering his already cheating defense, he must have been completely reduced to an ATM-like existence now.
Wu Huang was right, in the first quarter, he blew up the two point guards that the two wizards used to fight the fire, and scored 16 points in a single quarter.
Wizards coach Philip Saunders could only defend Wu Huang by Randy Foye and Stevenson in the second quarter, but it still had no effect, and Wu Huang hit 4 three-pointers in the second quarter and scored 31 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in the first half.
Wu Huang's previous record for the highest scoring point in a half was 28 points. In this game, he improved his half-time scoring record to 31 points, and the home fans have already heard the cheers of "MVP"!
The Lord will slaughter everywhere. The Knicks led the Wizards by 25 points in the first half, and before the third quarter was played, the opponent had already given up resistance.
Wu Huang's score finally stayed at 40 points, and if he wanted to get a high score, it was not only as simple as the three conditions he had thought before, but also a necessary condition for the two teams not to score too much. Because the NBA basically does not have an example of leading by 30 points and letting the main team score points on the court.
But if the scores of the two teams are comparable, and the three premises that Wu Huang thought about before are very different, so there are not many players in the entire league who have won 50+, and the players who have scored 60+ are all characters who can leave their names in history, if the difficulty is not high. 50+ and 60+ are not as valuable.
"I'd better put my mentality right, I always want to cut high scores, this mentality itself is not right." Wu Huang shook his head, James is so awesome, he has only gotten 50+ 6 times until now.
On February 4, the Knicks defeated the Milwaukee Bucks at home, and Wu Huang scored 29 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists in the face-to-face battle with Jennings, and the Knicks beat the visitors 110-99, and soon won two in a row after two consecutive losses.
After the match, Wu Huang made a phone call home and told Chloe Moretz that he was not going back today.
Taylor Swift's side has been left to dry by him for a week, and if it drags on any longer, it will have the opposite effect, and Emperor Wu has been paying attention to the heat over there.
After the game, Wu Huang drove directly to Taylor Swift's apartment.
He didn't call in advance, Wu Huang knew that he wouldn't want to go up as soon as he called, anyway, he had a room card, so he secretly killed it in the black, and solved the battle directly in bed, straightforwardly.
“…………”
Early the next morning, before dawn, I saw Emperor Wu with an embarrassed face, covering his shoulders and fleeing back to his apartment.
The two bloodstained tooth marks on his shoulders probably won't disappear in ten days and half a month. "Damn! This stinky is really ruthless, how can I go to Christine's side during this time? Emperor Wu hated in his heart, but this crazy girl didn't bite his little brother yesterday, and he was already very face-saving.
Taylor Swift's anger had not subsided, looking at Emperor Wu who had fled early in the morning, and muttered to himself with a powdered face: "Bastard, my aunt and grandmother said to bite you to death, next time I bite off your bad thing, see how proud you are." ”
In the afternoon, Wu Huang, who received Christine's call, was in a hurry, ran to the team doctor to re-bandage it, and was stunned to cover the two tooth marks on his shoulder. When he saw Christine at night, Wu Huang opened his eyes and forcibly said nonsense, saying that his shoulder was injured in training, and he couldn't see water yet.
He is planning to be blinded if he can, and he can't talk about it.
After the Knicks' victory over the Bucks. There are only two games left until All-Star Weekend.
On Feb. 7, the Knicks lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers on the road. Two days later, they beat the Kings at home, and the Knicks' first half of the season was over, with their next regular-season game not starting until after All-Star Weekend.
The Knicks have a 29-20 record in 49 games in the first half of the season, temporarily sitting in fourth place in the Eastern Conference.
Eastern Division Rankings -
1. Cleveland Cavaliers (37-12).
2. Orlando Magic (33-18).
3. Atlanta Hawks (30-19).
4. New York Knicks (29-20).
5. Boston Celtics (28-23).
6. Charlotte Bobcats (26-23).
7. Miami Heat (26-23).
8. Milwaukee Bucks (25-24).
In the Eastern Conference, except for the top two teams, they can sit firmly. With only one or two games separating each other from the third to fifth places, the Knicks still have a good chance of finishing third and avoiding the difficult Celtics in the first round, which is also their goal, and if they meet the Celtics and Hawks who restrained them in the first round, it will be difficult to break through the second round.
The next week, the NBA will enter its annual All-Star Celebration.
The 2010 Dallas All-Star Weekend was held on February 13-15, in fact, the All-Star Weekend is staged every year, but this year is a little different - the 2010 NBA Dallas All-Star Weekend will be held on February 13, 14 and 15. It coincides with the Spring Festival, the biggest festival of the year for the Chinese.
When Emperor Wu's grandfather was alive, the family would spend the Spring Festival together every year, and every year they would go to an orthodox Chinese restaurant in Chinatown to celebrate the Spring Festival.
But not this year, Wu Huang is going to participate in All-Star Weekend in Dallas, and he can't celebrate the holiday with his parents like in previous years.
All-Star Weekend is a three-day event, with the first day featuring the NBA Masters Game and Rookie Challenge; On the second day, there will be a shooting star competition, a skills competition, a three-point competition, and a slam dunk competition; The final day was the finale of the East-West All-Star Game.
Wu Huang will need to participate in the Rookie Challenge on the first day, the three-point contest on the second day, and the All-Star Game on the last day. There were three events in total, and he didn't have a day off for the past three days. Unable to return home and reunite with family.
His parents naturally understand that All-Stars don't crash with the Spring Festival every year, and this year is just in time.
Let's start with the first day of All-Star Weekend, the NBA All-Star Game is a huge basketball banquet, where not only fans and NBA players enjoy a basketball feast, but also a large number of stars in other fields. Especially considering that some of the local entertainment and sports stars are NBA fans. And the league also "did what it liked" and set up a "celebrity basketball game" during All-Star Weekend, inviting stars from outside the NBA to team up to play.
The event is 100% star-studded, and each name is as loud as an NBA superstar. The league has also taken great pains to play this competition, which adopts a formal format and has a dedicated person as the team's head coach and general manager. There is also a special MVP award.
The second Rookie Challenge is a showcase for the league's up-and-comers, with the following rules: Nine of this year's rookies and nine of last year's rookies will each form a team. Each team is staffed with a coach, assistant coach, and trainer. The winning team members will each receive a prize of $7,500. The losing team receives $5,000 per player.
This year's Rookie Challenge has increased the attention of this year's Rookie Challenge compared to previous games, especially in Southeast Asia, almost all countries that have broadcast NBA games will broadcast this game, Wu Huang is not a representative of the Chinese now, he is a representative of all yellow people, which is also a point that Brandon has been promoting for him.
The second day of All-Star Weekend was a single-event skills competition, and Wu Huang participated in the three-point shooting competition in the individual event.
Since last year, the rules of the three-point contest have been changed, and the players are invited by the league, and then the many players who accept the invitation have to vote for the final six players in the competition. Not only the three-point contest, but also the slam dunk contest and the skill challenge are the same rules, unlike in the past, which were directly invited by the league, which is more fair to all NBA players.
In addition to the finale of the All-Star Game, the individual skills competitions held on the second day of the All-Star Weekend have always been quite interesting.
However, due to the daily miss of the "Little Emperor", the three main players in this year's All-Star Slam Dunk Contest are Nate Robinson, Shannon Brown, Gerard Wallace and Wu Huang's alumnus DeMar DeRozan. If the 175-centimeter-tall "Potato" successfully defends his title, he will become the first player in NBA history to win three slam dunk contest titles.
In addition to dunks, three-point shots are also a major attraction of the NBA All-Star Game, and this game is even more masterful.
Chauncey Billups and Paul Pearce will be competing in the three-point contest, but last year's three-point champion Daquin Cook, Warriors rising star Stephen Curry, and the Knicks' Huang Wu and Gallinari are not fuel-efficient lamps.
Speaking to the media in New York before leaving for Dallas, Wu said: "I know that there has been news lately that I will be sidelined by some veteran players in the All-Star Game, and I just want to say that whether this news is true or not, it will not affect me in the first place, because I am not the main character in this year's All-Star Game." ”
"Frankly, every year the All-Star Game has a leading role, who is the best actor in the 2010 All-Star?" Emperor Wu smiled, "Actually, it's just a two-choice question. Because as long as there is a game between James and Kobe, then the 23rd vs. the 24th is an eternal topic for people. Yes, I stole their votes, but that doesn't mean I can get involved in their fight, at least for three years, my goal is not to challenge them, but to take my Knicks far in the playoffs.
