Chapter 202: The goal is a little bigger

Wu Huang rested off the court in the fourth quarter, but after only two minutes he couldn't sit still.

The Rockets led the Knicks on the road with a nine-point advantage in the first three quarters, and the team's morale was boosted, and they beat the Knicks 4-0 as soon as they came up. Next, the Rockets' bench actually overturned the second echelon led by Maddy and Harrington, and played a 9:3 attack wave in two minutes, and the difference was quickly widened to 14 points, which is already a very dangerous number.

This season, the Rockets have a very good set of pseudo-strong teams that say that they are not strong or weak when they say that they are not strong, and they are not weak when they are not weak, but they always turn their heads on weak teams, and today the Knicks are likely to become another pseudo-strong team that falls in front of the Rockets.

Seeing that the good situation was reversed, Wu Huang had to go on the court early not long after the start of the fourth quarter. However, a two-minute break is almost enough, Wu Huang's two-minute rest is equal to a four-minute rest for others, and today he didn't spend too much effort on the defensive end, and there was no problem with physical strength.

After Wu Huang came on the court, he didn't dare to shoot three points easily, and the Knicks couldn't score again, and the difference was widened to 20 points in one go, so the game would be explained. Now the safe way is to use a breakthrough to score points, of course, the best way is to play teamwork, but Wu Huang still did not give up the idea of scoring by himself, so there is only a breakthrough attack after blocking and dismantling.

Knicks lineup: Wu Huang, Livingston, Maddy, Harrington, David Lee.

Rockets on-court lineup: Lowry, Battinger, Battier, Landry, Jeffries.

D'Antoni is estimated to be brain-dead, Livingston is not unusable, but with Maddy, can the Knicks' defense still be watchable?

Wu Huang's attitude towards Livingston was much better than that of Maddie, who had completely torn three of his four ligaments and one severely in his knee. The meniscus was completely torn, the kneecap was severed and dislocated, and other structural injuries led to the almost amputation, and the surgeon described the surgery as a model to rebuild his knee.

Knicks players are all good about the tragic Livingston, but there's no denying it. After such a serious injury, Livingston's athleticism has declined badly, and now he is in a transition period, the previous style of play no longer works for him, this season Livingston has been deliberately training his back play, transforming into a commander in the bench, but the results are not so fast, he has too many things to overcome.

D'Antoni originally had plans to cut Livingston, but after several trades, the Knicks were understaffed on the guard line. The Knicks had the right to sign a sparring partner.

Wu Huang and David Lee's blocking and dismantling cooperation was unsuccessful, and the Rockets players bet that he would not be able to pass the ball, so as soon as the two were separated, the Rockets players immediately went to pinch Wu Huang and almost broke the ball. Fortunately, Wu Huang's ball handling skills have improved a lot since the beginning of the season, when he encountered this kind of pinch shot, and was about to lose the ball and was counterattacked by the Rockets, but now he passed the basketball to Livingston before falling to the ground. It looks like it's just a little bit, and the result is already very different.

Livingston doesn't have the ability to shoot three-pointers. After receiving the ball, he dribbled two steps inside, but was blocked by Bardingue, who assisted in the defense, which is the embarrassment after the lack of explosiveness and speed, and now Maddie sometimes encounters this situation, the first step is obviously to use the opportunity of technology and breakthrough to get rid of the opponent, but when he suddenly went inside, he found that everyone was in place.

At this time. Livingston made a move that no one expected, only to see him turn around with a skilful stop, not fast but very rhythmic, leaning his back against Batinger, and his pivot feet did not move. Turned around and made a realistic fuss.

Seeing this, Battinger hurriedly shifted his center of gravity and moved half a step in the direction of Livingston's turn, but the latter quickly turned in the opposite direction and hit the target with a 15-foot backward shot!

"It's okay to turn and lean back!" Wu Huang just got up from the ground, stepped forward and slapped Livingston's ass hard, this set of combos reflects Livingston's solid basic skills and ball sense, his turning and shaking when his back is very skillful and realistic, and the final backlash is also a bit of Kobe's shadow. It's no wonder that the Clippers would have been so optimistic about him in the first place, and if it weren't for that serious injury, the title of Magic II would have been a bit exaggerated, but to be a poor Magic would have been a proper All-Star.

At this time, Wu Huang should try to play a dozen misplaced offenses with Livingston to help him cause a mismatch with Lowry, and then Livingston's height of 2 meters beats Lowry's height of 1.8 meters, which is enough to make the Rockets vomit blood uncomfortably!

"You control the ball!" Of course, Wu Huang didn't do this, but he took the initiative to swap positions with Livingston, letting him play the No. 1 position, and he directly turned into a scoring guard to brush up points.

"No problem!" Livingston gladly accepted the assignment, and the main reason why he was not very fond of D'Antoni was that he played too steady and inked on the ball.

Livingston's vision advantage due to his height, as well as his cautious personality after that serious injury, made him quickly shift in the direction of controlling the tempo, and playing fast offense would make him uncomfortable, and it was no wonder that the mustache could look at such a player.

Wu Huang runs without the ball according to the tactics in training, there are many cover tactics specially designed for him in the Knicks, Livingston keeps observing his running position on the outside, and when he sees that Wu Huang is about to run out of the opportunity to catch the ball, he immediately passes an advance amount, Wu Huang appeared in time for the basketball position in the next second, and a slightly backward turn jumper made a quick shot......

"Huh!" When Wu Huang shot, he felt that his shooting rhythm was very comfortable, and the basketball was really hollow into the net!

"Well passed!" Wu Huang gave a thumbs up, Livingston's pass had an advance amount, and the force was just right, which made his catch and shoot twice as effective with half the effort, and the cooperation between the two sparked.

D'Antoni applauded softly from the sidelines, he doesn't usually like to use Livingston, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know Livingston. Speaking of which, he is also not thin on Emperor Wu, although he is a little disobedient, but Emperor Wu is also his disciple no matter what he says, and the mustache knows him very well and knows how to cooperate with him.

Wu Huang threw his ninth three-pointer, and his total score also came to 49 points, which allowed him to break the highest single-game score of his career, and at the same time, he was only one step away from the first 50+ in his career.

Livingston liked the combination, his vision advantage was reflected, and Wu Huang's off-ball running was erratic enough. The pairing of the two unexpectedly exerted an unexpected chemical effect. Less than a minute later, Wu Huang once again took advantage of his teammate's double cover and came out to receive Livingston's ball.

This time, Battier's change of defense was very timely, although Wu Huang received the pass, but Battier's defense was also in place. But Batman never thought of it. Wu Huang's reaction was so fast, he was obviously planning to jump and shoot, but when he saw him defend himself, he actually changed it to make a foul at a critical moment, and wittily deceived Battier into making three free throws, and the entire Madison Square Garden boiled again!

Wu Huang exhaled lightly, his reaction speed was meritorious again, if he forced the shot just now, this ball would have been hit by Battier's defense. Now on the free throw line, with his close to 90% free throw shooting rate, the first 50+ in his career has been properly put in his pocket.

The New York fans all over the court are shouting "50 points" and "MVP" at the moment, the last time the Knicks got 50+ in a single game was Jamal Crawford, but that guy is not from New York, nor is he a player who can become the core of the team, he is destined to be just a passerby in New York, so the excitement of New York fans at this time is far higher than that time.

NBA fans have their own team's selected core and alien stars. The treatment given is very different. In the eyes of New York fans, Wu Huang is their own person. Just like Magic and Kobe Bryant are to the Lakers, although O'Neal is no less credited than Kobe, his status in the history of the Lakers and in the hearts of Lakers fans cannot be compared with Kobe Bryant.

Wu Huang hit an easy free throw for the first time, and finally got his first 50+ in his career, looking forward to the goal of most of the season. Today it was finally reached. However, Wu Huang's heart was not very excited, because he got 50+ nearly a month later than Jennings, only a few days earlier than James, and finally only fell into the second ranking, which is really not worth bragging!

Finally, in the cheers of the New York fans. Wu Huang scored the remaining two goals one after another, and his personal score has come to 52 points, and the score of the two teams is 99:107.

The Rockets have requested a timeout, and Adelman needs to think about it, what to do with Wu Huang next?

"Boss, there are eight minutes left in the game, and you have a chance to score 60 points today!" Wu Huang walked off the court with a calm face, and after hearing Gallinari's words, the heart that had just calmed down was flooded again. "yes, I lost the record of being the youngest 50+, but I can still hit the youngest 60+, there is no player in the league who is younger than me, and as long as I break this record now, no one else can surpass me."

Wu Huang smiled and nodded: "That's right, I can try." ”

His birthday is December 31, according to the rules of the league, it is almost impossible to have a rookie younger than him in the future, as long as he can break the record of the youngest 60+, and later people want to surpass him, it must be as strange as his birthday, and to complete 60+ points before the All-Star break of his rookie season, which is basically impossible.

At the end of the timeout, Wu Huang continued to play with a strong desire to score, and soon scored another three-pointer - at 7:12 of the fourth quarter, Wu Huang bypassed Harrington, who was playing for him, and received a pass from Livingston, this time facing Ariza.

Ariza didn't dare to be careless in the face of Wu Huang, he was also a player who had seen a big scene with championship experience, but Wu Huang, who played in a state, was not much worse than Kobe Bryant, and the continuous dribbling on the spot shook Ariza a little unbearable, so he chose to take the initiative, but was turned away by Wu Huang and scored two more points on a mid-range stop-and-go jumper.

New York fans began to shout frantically the slogan "60 points"!

Wu Huang has already scored 54 points, and with half a quarter to go in the game, it doesn't seem like a problem to score another 6 points.

The Knicks' all-time record for the highest single-game scoring game was set by Bernard King, who scored 60 points against the Nets on December 26, 1984, and Wu Huang is expected to break the record set 26 years ago today.

CCTV broadcast this game today, and at this moment domestic fans have regarded this game as a battle for Wu Huang to become a god, as long as he scores another 6 points, it will really be a god, because no one has ever scored 60+ points in his rookie season, and even Chamberlain, who once scored 100 points in a single game, has never done it.

Chamberlain scored 58 points in a single game twice in his rookie season, but he was two points short of 60+ in those two games, since even the big coach can't complete the record, and no one has done it in the next 50 years, today's Wu Huang will hope to complete this impossible task.

The Rockets didn't want Emperor Wu to perform such a miracle, and they didn't want people to pull them in as a background when they mentioned the miracle created by Emperor Wu in the future, which was no different from being nailed to the pillar of shame.

Adelman readjusted, before he thought it was acceptable to let Wu Huang get 50+, but if he got 60+, it would be absolutely unacceptable.

Wu Huang quickly noticed the change in the Rockets' defense, even if he didn't have a basketball in his hand, he would always be accompanied by two defenders around him, as soon as he caught the ball, the Rockets would immediately send a third person to keep an eye on him, ready to limit his scoring with a three-man bag.

In this case, it is almost impossible for Wu Huang to score again, but once the defender arranges such a defense, it will also mean that the game is almost over, as long as the player who is surrounded by three people passes the ball out, the field is full of empty spaces, and the attacker will soon be able to beat the defender to collapse!

Wu Huang just didn't pass, the so-called almost impossible, it would be said that it was still possible, such as dribbling the ball to a position more than two meters away from the three-point line and raising his hand to shoot......

"Huh!" Wu Huang watched the basketball really fall into the basket, and secretly screamed "good luck" in his heart, of course he didn't have much confidence in this kind of ball, but when the feeling came, such a ball could still be thrown, many players in training like to play ultra-long-distance shooting games, Wu Huang has always been the best one in the Knicks to play this game.

"This TM will do too!" The fans in front of the TV were dumbfounded, and the Rocket players were also dumbfounded, the two players they sent out to defend Wu Huang were originally going to wait for Wu Huang to enter the position two meters away from the three-point line before starting to defend, but they didn't expect Wu Huang to shoot at a distance of nearly three meters, this position is equivalent to shooting just two steps past the halfcourt, and Wu Huang was closer to the middle circle than the three-point line when shooting.

After Wu Huang scored a goal, he raised his right hand again and walked back very tuggingly.

Now that he is only three points away from 60+, he doesn't believe that the Rockets can prevent him from even scoring three points in six minutes, and it's a big deal to have a few more waves like this, and now the team's victory and defeat are compared with his 60 points, Wu Huang naturally chooses the latter option. In this case, how can Team Rocket defend against him? (To be continued.) )
