Chapter 428: Winning is not the coolest

At the end of the first half, the Knicks set the score at 62:41, and the huge margin of 21 points was enough for the Thunder to wonder if they could beat the Knicks again. If the two teams have a three-year record, they have to play at least six or seven games to win the next Knicks, then won't this Finals be swept?

Fans with a little bit of NBA common sense know that the NBA has not had a team win in the playoffs, and the best one was the Lakers in 01, when they relied on the invincible dominance of the OK combination to achieve a 15-1 championship record. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

So, will the Knicks become the first team to win the championship with an all-win record this year?

This question now seems very promising.

This Knicks team is not inferior to the OK combination of the year in terms of dominance, and this Knicks team is more balanced, they are even the most comprehensive team in the entire NBA history, plus a Holy Sect leader whose projection ability is called the first in history, their chances of overturning will be very low.

The current Knicks have several sets of insurance to prevent losses, and they even have three or four insurance measures, and the Thunder need to overcome too many hurdles if they want to beat them.

In the first half, Wu Huang shot 2 of 5 from the three-point line, and his 40% three-point shooting rate was not bad, but the most eye-catching thing was that he contributed 4 assists in a single quarter in the fourth quarter, and contributed 8 points to the team through defensive counterattacks, and scored 19 points and 6 assists, as well as 4 rebounds and 2 steals in the entire first half, playing his usual all-around.

Gasol and Davidsy rarely scored consecutive points in the first half, but the latter got 12 points second only to Wu Huang, many times this inconspicuous three-man can contribute a high score second only to Wu Huang in the case of a low sense of existence, David West in Wu Huang and Gasol under the cover, can maximize their scoring efficiency, so that many teams do not know, in fact, they died in the hands of David West.

Gasol is also worthy of his reputation as a second-in-command, with excellent offensive skills, he played the role of the second fulcrum and the second response point in the middle, and his half-time performance of 8 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists was enough to prove his contribution.

If you count Iguodala's 9 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, Battier's 6 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, Monroe's 6 points and 3 rebounds, the Knicks' offensive firepower is about to overflow, and the Thunder only limited the play of one Gallinari today, maybe it is still the reason why the Italians themselves are not in good shape, it can be said that the Thunder's defense has no effect on the Knicks' offense at all, especially the defense of Wu Huang.

In this regard, Wei Shao is definitely going to take the blame again, who called him the first line of defense to defend Wu Huang, and it is his first line of defense that did not have the effect of pre-game arrangement, Wu Huang wanted to burst out on the court today, and he didn't shoot less three-point shots, and at the same time that all the injuries were played, there were also very bright assist data.

If Wu Huang had been playing like this, the Thunder would have to wait six or seven more games if they wanted to win.

"I can play so well, it's not that I'm really that good, it's that the opponent puts too little pressure on me." When Wu Huang was interviewed in the middle of the court, he had an arrogant attitude that was not "our army is too powerful, but the opponent is too wasteful", and finally took out the Heat as an analogy: "To be honest, I played much easier today than the four games in the Eastern Conference Finals, so I am very strange now, the Heat defended so well, and in the end they didn't win a game against us?!" Well, all I can say is that they had bad luck, but they had two games that could have won us. ”

Wu Huang didn't blush at all when he said this, because even he didn't know which two games the Heat had a chance to win them? When he said this, he completely wanted to use the Heat to hit the Thunder, and by the way, he turned around and stepped on the Heat again, with the intention of continuing to hit the confidence of the Thunder players.

Commentators from all over the world are discussing the strength of the Knicks at the moment, especially the combination of their two big interior lines + Wu Huang, just like the efficient play of the Eastern Conference Finals and the Heat, the Thunder team has collapsed in the first half of the game.

First of all, David West created great trouble for the Thunder team in the first half of the game, especially when the Thunder implemented a seemingly threatening defense against Wu Huang, David West's stable mid-range shooting has been helping the Knicks to open up the point difference, and it also makes the Thunder team have to be worried every time they wrap up Wu Huang, and worry about whether it is worth it? In the first half alone, David West had a super performance of 12 points and 5 rebounds, including 2 frontcourt rebounds.

Unlike David West, Gasol played more aggressively in the first half, and his range of movement became more and more wide, from being fixed in a certain position by D'Antoni at the beginning of the season to now being able to move freely in the low post and in the middle as he pleased, the Spaniard gradually used his performances to win more possession and tactical positions.

Now Gasol is more likely to appear in the middle to meet Wu Huang, his invited task is to receive the basketball from Wu Huang who is in a state of being caught at any time, at this time, the Holy Sect Master will become a threat point for moving without the ball, David West will also find his own position to receive the attack, Gasol will become the Knicks' ball holding point, his excellent skills are enough for him to hold the basketball at this time, carefully observe the movement of his teammates and then decide how to distribute the basketball and organize the offense. This is also the reason why the Thunder team couldn't hold Wu Huang at all today, and they neglected to defend Gasol, which was a very fatal negligence.

As for Wu Huang, he has almost become the Knicks' anchor now, as long as the team needs him to step up, he will definitely make his own contribution, whether it is a pull-up jump shot, or a three-point shot, and there is no problem with the breakthrough, he is different from Gasol and David West, Wu Huang has a better body and more offensive means, so he has always been able to perform relatively smoothly.

In the first half, Wu Huang hadn't really played consecutive explosive scores, but he had already scored 19 points and 6 assists, so it is conceivable that if the team really needed him to step up, the Holy Sect Master at that time would definitely become even more terrifying on the offensive end.

The Thunder didn't quite breathe at halftime, mainly due to Wei Shao's unbeatable personality and Durant's hidden tenacity under his calmness.

Emperor Wu admired Wei Shao very much, that is, although this guy was prone to brain fever, he would not be defeated no matter how much setback he suffered. Sometimes even Emperor Wu felt that if the two of them changed positions and changed to him being hit like this, they might have to be in the doldrums for a long time before they could recover. But it's hard for you to see Wei Shao being defeated, this thing is like Xiao Qiang who can't be killed, you can beat him to a bruised nose and swollen face, but you just can't kill him forever.

Wei Shao was beaten enough today, but he just didn't accept it, even if he only had a pitiful 5 points and 2 assists in the first half, and his shooting was only 2 of 7 shots from the pit father, but he just didn't accept it, and he didn't accept it to death!

Durant didn't play well today, the Knicks were much more successful in restricting him, Battier only rested for less than five minutes in the first half, and the president's defense of Durant today was very good, he always bought enough time for his teammates to help defend, and then fans could see Gasol rushing out from the inside, waving those long arms to interfere, or the Knicks' other outside players rushed over in time to interfere with Durant's shooting...... Coupled with the fact that the Thunder are playing away from home today, the situation has been unfavorable for them, and Durant only hit 3 of 10 shots in the first half, and only got 4 free throws, which can be said to be a very bad performance.

But Brooks knows that Durant's poor performance is not only Battier's excellent defense, but also the Knicks' change of defense is the main reason why Durant's off-ball running is difficult to be effective, and Battier's more big role is to be able to make up for the position of the teammate who changes the defense in time, which makes the Thunder want to create shooting opportunities for other teammates through Durant's off-ball running The function is almost completely invalid, and every change of defense of the Knicks players is so fast and tacit, and it is difficult for the Thunder to find a flaw in the middle, As a result, they have not been able to create efficient open shots, and most of the shots are made with the interference of defenders, which hurts.

At this moment, Brooks was still trying to find a way to break through the Knicks' defense, and he didn't notice that Harden's expression was a little silent. Durant and Wei Shao, who did not perform well in the first half, have not given up, but Harden, a guy who has performed well, is a little negative, he already feels that there is no hope for today's game in his heart, the Knicks are too strong today, but they can't find a way to break through the opponent's defense, so this game can't be played at all, and it is better to put the strength into the next game.

Many people believe that those who have a tendon tend to be stronger in willpower, and those who are too rational are more likely to give up in the face of difficulties. Although this statement is very nonsense, at least in Harden, in terms of desire to win and fighting willpower, he is really inferior to Durant, let alone Wei Shao.

So, many times it's really attitude that determines everything, the desire to win and willpower are the secrets to winning, fans can feel the ruthlessness and murderous spirit of Battier and David West even through the screen, there are two such guys on the team, and the spirit of the Knicks will not lose to any team.

After the start of the second half of the game, Wei Shao still started, and even if his performance was poor, Brooks couldn't really live without him for a long time. If the Thunder team doesn't have the impact of Wei Shao, Durant won't have enough room to play, so although Westbrook has always become a cancer in the playoffs, the Thunder still hope that one day he can suddenly open up.

Throughout the first half, Wei Shao never managed to play according to his own scoring method, and when the Knicks played a wave of 6:0 in the third quarter, further widening the point difference, the game actually ended early, so Wei Shao, who completely left the victory behind, turned on the speed mode instead.

After the pause, I saw Wei Shao rushing to the Knicks basket with the ball, and first used a suspected heavy shoulder action to push off Wu Huang.

But the referee felt that the winner had been decided, so he did not blow for a foul.

The penalty allowed Westbrook to go all the way to the basket, and with Gasol's defense, he relied on a pull rod to score a layup, which was also the first time in the game that Westbrook relied on a breakdown to tear through the Knicks' defense.

Wu Huang didn't bother to protest, this kind of action that can be blown or not, he usually does more, and the referee rarely blows him.

But the problem is that this score made Wei Shao find a feeling, and the defensive end actually had a hot head and risked cutting off Wu Huang's basketball.

When Wei Shao quickly advanced to the front court with the ball, Westbrook, who had restarted after his head was overheated, suddenly made a diagonal pass, and the basketball accurately passed to Durant, who was inserted from the middle, who received the ball and sprinted with all his might, and hit the Knicks' three-point line in two steps, and finally sent the ball to the basket when his body was out of balance, and played a 2+1 on Iguodala.

"Pause!" Wu Huang didn't wait for Durant's free throws at all, and took the initiative to call a timeout when the lead was still 22 points, and he really didn't intend to leave any chance to the Thunder.

"Clever pause!" This is the evaluation of the commentaries of various countries.

It stands to reason that the Knicks don't need to call a timeout at this time, but Wu Huang's actions show that the Knicks are not careless, and they don't feel that they have won, they give enough attention to the opponent, and at the same time, as the leader of the team, he took the initiative to call a timeout to represent dissatisfaction with the team.

Well, only the first half of this can be heard, these two balls are obviously Emperor Wu's pot.

The first goal was when he was broken through by Westbrook.

The second goal, it was he who was tackled.

If this pot Emperor Wu can still be thrown out, it will really be thicker than the city wall.

"My bad, Andre came to control the ball, I'll go run two laps." Wu Huang bluntly admitted his mistake after a timeout, and then handed the ball to Iguodala to play for a while, and prepared to play without the ball for a while, which was to adjust his state and see if he could use the state without the ball to score two points.

The score is 66:46, the Knicks' lead is still big enough, and Wu Huang also contributed 1 assist in the previous 6:0 small climax, in fact, he really doesn't need to care too much about his mistake, but he doesn't want to give the Thunder a chance to get up. Don't think that if he plays a little wave in the first half, he will become a light enemy, "wave" and "light enemy" are two different things.

After this timeout, Wu Huang gave up the initiative to his teammates, and he kept cruising outside the three-point line and became a fixed-point shooter; On the defensive end, he actually let Iguodala wrap himself in advance, and didn't go head-to-head with Wei Shao at all, which was somewhat a bit of a win-win run-away, that is, not to give the opponent a chance to fight back.

Of course, Wei Shao was unhappy to the extreme, and finally felt it in the second half, but Wu Huang didn't take the initiative to face him anally, and every time he called a helper to play 2 to 1, forcing him to pass the ball out.

Durant is less of a threat to the wings when Wei Shao is trapped, but he will still be assisted by the Knicks' interior players, although he still has more scoring opportunities, but if he wants to exceed the 20+ point difference, he still has to find another helper. And this person is obviously Harden. As for Ibaka, he was unreliable, not long ago he was actually split by Gasol, Ibaka, who has always been more iron-blooded, is no match for Gasol, who has always been soft, today, which makes the Thunder players secretly curse "waste" in their hearts.

Ibaka really couldn't stand up in the face of his big brother in the national team. Even if he doesn't take into account this factor, his height and weight are suppressed by Gasol, although he is more flexible in his steps, but Gasol is not slow. The most important thing is that Gasol knows his shooting hot zone and movement very well, which makes Ibaka's advantage in mobility also greatly reduced, and today he was played to death by Gasol.

But what made the Thunder team most depressed was that Harden, who performed reasonably well in the first half, hit two goals in the second half, and then performed mediocre.

Wu Huang saw that Harden had signs of an outburst, and immediately switched defenses with Iguodala, and then this bearded man lost the vigor he had when he was against Ginobili, and in the face of Wu Huang, who was a circle smaller than himself, he couldn't break through, and he couldn't find a chance to shoot.

The Knicks still used a one-size-fits-all tactic in the second half, this time cutting Wei Shao, leaving Harden and Durant behind. Originally, it was possible for the latter two to complete the connection, causing a lot of threat. At the beginning, Harden did hit two shots in a row when Iguodala went to cover Wei Shao. But then after Wu Huang took the initiative to switch guards with Iguodala, the 220-pound big-tonnage guard quickly wilted.

Wu Huang actually didn't grasp the defense of Harden, his impression of this guy was still stuck in college, when he also tried to defend Harden in a misplaced position, and the effect was not bad. However, two years have passed, and people have definitely improved, especially the gap in confrontation ability makes him very likely to encounter embarrassment. But the result was that Wu Huang himself couldn't even imagine that Harden couldn't take advantage of the big fart and weight advantage of more than 20 pounds under his defense, but he couldn't advance or retreat under his close defense. Wu Huang used his foot advantage to keep stuck Harden's breakthrough route, but this guy didn't use his strength advantage to get him, and after suddenly finding that he couldn't pass it a few times, he actually passed the ball, and he didn't have the idea of breaking through at all.

"Looking at his vague steps, he seems to be lacking in energy, could it be that he was drained by the nightclub girl yesterday?" Wu Huang maliciously thought in his heart that Harden was soft in front of him, and he didn't seem to have any fighting spirit, and he didn't have the slightest strength to find him to play with his life, and Wu Huang, who got cheap, sighed in his heart: "It's still such an opponent!" ”

However, on the defensive end, Wu Huang can't avoid Wei Shao's desperateness, but he is not afraid of this kind of defensive play, and he can just play hide and seek with the opponent without the ball in hand.

At 8 minutes and 10 seconds in the third quarter, Wu Huang used his control of his body and step points on the offensive end empty-handed, and constantly used emergency stops and reverse walks to stun Westbrook, who didn't know what was going on, anyway, he followed farther and farther, and finally couldn't keep up......

When there were 9 seconds left in the offensive time, Wu Huang ran to the three-point line to receive the basketball, and a realistic fake action shook the defensive Durant away, and then he shot the basketball......

"It's perfect!"

"It's like dancing!"

Knicks fans feel that Wu Huang has a sense of elegance and beauty that other players do not have when running without the ball, and his "one stop together" and "one turn and one test" are not only very rhythmic, but the coordination of the whole body when doing movements is more perfect to make people feel that he is not running, but dancing.

Westbrook felt that he was getting farther and farther away from Emperor Wu, because his rhythm and pace could not keep up, every time he followed Emperor Wu to make a move, he would be pulled down a little, and after a few consecutive movements, this distance was stretched to the extent that he could no longer catch up.

This process is more intuitively reflected in the perspective of fans, from Wu Huang's running without the ball and using his teammates' cover to keep stopping and walking, to the final feint to shake Durant to complete the shot, Wu Huang's sense of rhythm and elegant posture in the whole process make fans feel comfortable and want to shout a few times, anyone who sees such a perfect thing will react like this.

Wu Huang relied on this perfect and coordinated movement without the ball on the offensive end, and made 7 shots in this quarter, 5 of which were outside the three-point line, and 3 of these 5 long-range shots accurately hit the basket, perhaps his three-point shooting rate is so high because he does a better job of controlling the rhythm and physical coordination than others, which can make the final shot in one go.

Among these 3 three-pointers, the most exciting was the last one, which was at the last moment of the quarter, when the red light came on, Wu Huang just came out of the crowd, and in the last two seconds after receiving the ball, he actually had time to trick Ibaka with a feint again, and then shot the basketball at the same time as the red light came on......

There was not the slightest sense of urgency that came with running out of time, and this graceful gesture once again made the fans cheer loudly, because the goal was like a work of art. However, Wu Huang's shooting is not just good-looking, the basketball is like being equipped with a guidance system, and it accurately enters the basket.

With these three three-pointers, Wu Huang scored 14 points in the third quarter, and the score came to 33 points, and the Knicks also led the Thunder by 28 points at 96:68.

The suspense of the game is completely gone, and the Knicks crushed the opponent in three quarters, and the Thunder are no different from other teams that fall under the Knicks at this moment.

After Wu Huang threw this whistle ball, he came to the sidelines very coquettishly, and a camera was facing him from an aerial perspective overhead, only to see the Holy Sect Master take a cowboy hat thrown by his teammates, put it on and make a Western cowboy's exclusive gun collection action, and then raised his hand to hold the hat, showing a contemptuous smile and said: "Who will call the gravedigger?"

Madison Garden resounded at this moment with cheers that tested the eardrums, and the huge sound shook the drinks in the hands of the fans.

Wu Huang's forced pretending to be a complete climax for the fans, the current Knicks are not the coolest after winning, and it is the coolest to watch the Holy Sect Master pretend to be forced after winning!

"Of course, how can I hook up with a girl if I don't pretend to be 13!" Wu Huang glanced at the direction of his sisters, although there were too many people who couldn't see what their sisters' expressions were, but I believe they must be more excited than these fans.

At this moment, the opposite of the Holy Sect Master is Harden, he performed mediocre under heavy pressure, and in the third quarter, under the defense of Wu Huang, who was not very good, Harden only got a pitiful 3 shots. In the link of restricting Harden, Wu Huang received the effect that even surprised himself. Not only that, but throughout the third quarter, the two big men in the Thunder's starting lineup, Perkins and Seflosha, did not score a point, and Ibaka only hit two and a half volleys, and the rest of the time did nothing.

The Knicks' defense was equally successful, even to their own surprise, only half of what they said before the game, but in the game, they sliced the Thunder to pieces with a single sword! I really don't know if I'm too good, or if the opponent is too weak? (To be continued.) )
