Chapter 404: No Tactical Board

Wu Huang didn't shoot as many free throws today as in the first game, but his success rate in making fouls was still very high, which also caused many players on the 76ers to be very unhappy afterwards, Louis Williams thought that Wu Huang didn't act like a man, but the 60e cultists thought that this was his vent after being deducted by Wu Huang Yan in the game.

In the second game, Wu Huang had a performance of splitting from the top of Williams' head in the third quarter. This violent dunk is also talked about by fans. And when it comes to this tragedy, Williams is very helpless. "It was a beautiful ball, but everybody can get a dunk. I'm only 1.8 meters, what can I do? You expect me to buckle over his head? That's so unrealistic. ”

Louis Williams then expressed his displeasure: "I watched the game the same way as everyone else, without any subjectivity. The Knicks are very good at blocking and pick-and-roll, but in this kind of thing, the two sides will inevitably have physical contact, and both sides are desperately competing, which is the true meaning of playing basketball. When you play, you have to compete with your opponents, and that's what men's basketball is. Obviously, in Williams' opinion, if you fall down and foul after a pick-and-roll, this is not basketball, this is the way of playing.

Emperor Wu didn't bother to refute this, there was a kind of letting the alliance change the rules! Kobe Bryant and James did the same, and is it easy to make fouls? If there is a slight mistake, not only will it not make a foul, but it will make a mistake. So without solid technology and quick response as a foundation, you can't build it even if you want to.

The 76ers head coach was in a good mood, saying after the game: "We're not eliminated yet, we've got to be ready at home, we've got to be ready, it's useless to be frustrated and give up on ourselves." ”

After the first two games of the first-round series, the upset did not come again, and no team in the league lost their two home games, but this is the normal situation, otherwise what is the use of the home field.

Western Conference - Spurs (2) vs (0) Nuggets; Thunder (2) vs (0) Lakers; Grizzlies (1) vs (1) Rockets; Clippers (1) vs (1) Mavericks.

Eastern Conference - Knicks (2) vs (0) 76ers; Bulls (1) vs (1) Magic; Heat (1) vs (1) Celtics; Pacers (1) vs (1) Hawks.

After two games, there are no teams that have lost two home games in a row, but there are many teams that have grabbed one away game, such as the Rockets, which Chinese fans are very concerned about, and they pulled one back in the second game.

Yao Ming only scored 13 points and 6 rebounds in the first game, and his performance was average. But in the second game, the little giants staged a big outburst, and in the first quarter they both beat Gasol Jr. and Haddadi into two fouls. The tall Spaniard was ejected after playing just 25 minutes, and Yao Ming also chipped in a game-high 28 points and 16 rebounds to lead the Rockets to a valuable road win in Memphis.

Wu Huang felt that the Rockets could win, not by Yao Ming's big outburst, nor by Lowry and Batinger's three-point convulsions in the fourth quarter, but by the successive flips of Guy and Mayo.

The two were supposed to be the Grizzlies' advantage over the Rockets, but in the second game, the two teamed up to shoot 11-of-36, including 3-of-15 three-pointers, and the Grizzlies' two outside stars played such a sluggish performance, coupled with Gasol Jr.'s foul troubles, only Conley and Randolph wanted to win a game, unless the rotten tofu became the real O'Neal for another lap, this may still have a little chance.

"Brother Yao, defend those two blacksmiths, I'm optimistic that your Rocket team will advance to the second round." Wu Huang called after the game to congratulate Yao Ming, and boldly predicted that the Rockets would eliminate the Grizzlies and enter the second round of the playoffs.

"Get out! Don't milk you! Yao Ming's nose was crooked when he heard this, how could he feel that this bastard was here to show off to himself? Besides, they couldn't figure it out, how could those two guys from the grizzly bear be so inaccurate? Because they didn't come up with a way to limit those two people before the game, even he won now is a little inexplicable.

But the whole world knows that the Knicks are simply messing around in these two games, but they can still beat the 76ers, and the easiest in this round may be the New Yorkers.

The Rockets are different, they are still a little worse than the Grizzlies in terms of hard power, the latter has almost no flaws in one position, but the team's core Guy and sixth man Mayo are not so consistent, but if either of these two plays properly, it will be difficult for the Rockets to win the game.

The Spurs in the West are the same as the Knicks, these two relatively mature teams won very easily, although the Thunder also led the Lakers 2:0, but the game was very thrilling, and they played overtime in the second game before they relied on three fewer people to kill the Lakers' lone Kobe.

Howard is having a hard time even going to the scene to watch the game at the moment, this guy is suffering from the pain after back surgery, it is said that the monster is already in pain and plans to retire, and the back and waist injuries are indeed much more painful than the joint thunder injury.

The Bulls and Heat in the East are tied 1-1 with their opponents, which is what the Knicks want to see the most, and it would be best for these two teams to continue to win and lose like this.

The third game of the Knicks was played on May 2, and O'Neal thought before the game that it would be difficult for the 76ers to escape the sweep, because although the team scored a lot of points, it could only attack around Elton Brand at critical moments, and Brand after the attack of injury, although he is now slowly recovering from his condition, there is still a gap compared to his peak.

O'Neal believes that even if Iguodala is still on this team, the duo's offense will not be enough to compete with the top teams in the league. The 76ers are now lacking a reliable player who can execute key shots and final shots, and Holliday's future prospects are quite promising, but he is too young at 20 years old to perform against Hugo.

The 76ers are still a team built on the defensive end, and they have quite good defensive players at all positions, which makes them follow the NBA winning rule of defense.

But the problem is that although the physical talent of the 76ers is good, there is still a gap between them and the top, so their defense can only be said to be good, but it is only at the level of "good", if you want to use this kind of defense to beat the Knicks, then the two are obviously not a level of competition.

The Knicks did not put their energy on the defensive end in the first two wars, which can be seen by the big guys, so the 76ers can always bite the score in the second game, but as long as Hugo and others make a force at the critical moment, the 76ers can only accept the fate of losing.

In addition, O'Neal analyzed the first two games of the two teams and believed that the three-point shot was still the weakness of the 76ers, they did not have a shooter who could face Hugo, Iguodala, and Battier, and the best long-range gun was Meeks, who averaged 1.8 three-pointers per game, and the rest except for two point guards, Louis Williams and Holliday, the perimeter lethality was negligible, and the opponent could easily put away the defense to create their scoring drought.

Finally, the 76ers are still lacking a good center, although Brand is still a good player at the No. 4 position, but at the No. 5 position, the 22-year-old Hawes's defensive flaws are too obvious, Vucevic is seriously inexperienced, and the 76ers who lack a center are unlikely to cause any problems for the Knicks' two interior players, and their limit is to do a good job of choosing one or the other like in Game 2.

The New York media gave the 76ers more positive reports after making sure that they would not overturn, and they did not hesitate to say nice things and then send the other team to fish.

The New York Times reported on the day of the game: When it comes to the NBA's historic giants, many people will think of the Lakers and Celtics, but few people still remember that Philadelphia is also one of the traditional giants. Whether it's the culture and history of the city, or the culture and heritage of basketball, the Philadelphia 76ers have never lost to any city or team - from the first championship in the early days of the league to Chamberlain, Dr. J, Moses Malone, Barkley, Greer and Iverson, the history of the 76ers has never been interrupted, and the legends are remembered by the world. But now, when it comes to the wealthy nobles of the alliance, they can't even enter the top 5.

At this time, many young fans can't help but ask: So, what kind of conditions does an NBA team have to be considered a giant?

This question, if summarized simply, then a giant team must meet the following requirements - 1. Long history; 2. Won many championships; 3. Maintain the strength of the championship for a long time; 4. There are many legendary stars; 5 cities with outstanding influence.

The big team doesn't meet a few of these requirements, and none of the above five elements can be missing, which is the real big club. So strictly speaking, there are only two big teams in the NBA - the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics. The rest of the Spurs like the Chicago Bulls and San Antonio can only be regarded as the heroes of a lifetime, they lack a long championship history, and they lack long-term competitiveness, and the Spurs lack the influence of big cities, and it is even more difficult to become a giant team.

The New York media wittily did not mention themselves at this time, this is to plan to boldly announce that they are the third giant team in the NBA after Wu Huang leads the Knicks to complete the dynasty hegemony, because they will barely meet four of the above five rules.

The Knicks are a team with a long history and two championships in the seventies, so if Wu Huang is good enough, they can be cheeky with their first two conditions. At the same time, the third rule can barely be established if it is thick-skinned, because the Knicks were all strong teams in the NBA in the 50s, 70s and 90s, which makes them reluctantly related to the "long-term championship strength". After all, if you can make the playoffs, you can be considered a strong team that can compete for the championship, and the same can be said for the current 76ers, and no team will say "I entered the playoffs to lose" anyway.

It's a pity that the Knicks can't meet the fourth goal, the most famous stars in their history are Willis Reed, Patrick Ewing and Walter Fraser, and only these three are Hall of Fame players, and others like Earl Monroe and Dave Debusscel are at most ordinary All-Star players of that era, far from being called legendary stars, so there are not many legendary superstars in Knicks history.

Of course, the Knicks definitely meet the fifth condition, so if Wu Huang can bring two dynasties like the Bulls to the Knicks in the future, or even more championships, then the Knicks can cheekily call themselves the third big team in the league.

In the third game between the Knicks and the 76ers, fans can clearly see that Wu Huang's criticism in the last game has had an effect, and the Knicks players have a visible improvement in rotation speed today, and the pace of single defense is more active, especially the increase in physical confrontation and secondary pursuit, which are all positive manifestations of defense.

However, this also highlights the inaction of the Holy Sect Master himself. It is easy for everyone to find out that the person who seems to be the most perfunctory in defense in the Knicks team is the Holy Sect Master himself - he is too lazy to move when defending, he is too lazy to chase after being broken through, and basically only lets others fill in for him, but he rarely fills in for his teammates, and he is like a bastard in defense.

Of course, this is just a performance on the defensive end, Wu Huang came to the offensive end and it was a different look, and he didn't even need to explain the process, the Holy Sect Master's 22 points in the half was a positive manifestation of him on the offensive end.

This playoffs, at least in the first round, Wu Huang has become more and more like other stars - only attacking, not defending.

However, according to the information obtained so far, Wu Huang still has a high chance of entering the defensive second team again this season, because in some games against strong teams, Wu Huang still showed very strong defensive ability. While he began to learn how to be in good habit of not defending against weak teams, it was also a sign of a mature superstar.

"What's this!" Wu Huang now doesn't bother to pay attention to those voices who criticize him for not taking his defense seriously at every turn, Jordan back then only defended seriously against strong teams, or when he was in a good mood, which superstar defended conscientiously every game? Can such a person count them all on one hand?

In the eyes of Wu Huang, today's 76ers are even more unbearable than the last game, and they are at least very clear in tactics in the second game, when the 76ers were on the defensive end to limit the center scheduling of Gasol on the inside line and isolate the connection between themselves and Gasol.

But what made the 76ers feel very depressed in that game was that his side turned to connect with David West, and in the end, it was just a change in offensive direction that easily broke the defense. This also led to the fact that the 76ers didn't know how to defend the Knicks today, because no matter what kind of countermeasures they came up with, they couldn't seem to limit the Knicks' current lineup, and how to resist was a dead word.

Yes, even if they don't consider the threat point of Iguodala, just with the cooperation of Wu Huang and the Knicks, the 76ers can't find a way to limit it, and at the same time, once their offense encounters the Knicks' serious defense, they can't play it, and this huge gap in strength is so big that tactics can't make up for it.

Popovich may be unconvinced, but the Spurs' first-round exit last season also proved that a clever woman needs rice to cook.

The head coach of the 76ers, Collins, said that he has no rice on his hands, and there is too much difference between the center and the point guard, as long as the Knicks recognize these two points to attack, they can easily play them by relying on the individual ability of the players. Didn't you see D'Antoni sitting across from him today, and he didn't even have a tactical plan, and that guy didn't even seem to have a tactical board.

D'Antoni says he doesn't have a tactical board, he just doesn't have a chance to use it.

The Knicks maintained a double-digit advantage in the first quarter, and they could have widened the margin to 20+ before the end of the first half, because the 76ers players were completely discouraged. However, after the Knicks' players saw that the 76ers' resistance was not high, they actually lost the defense that only lasted a little more than a quarter, and they continued to follow Wu Huang to brush up points and data on the court.

The 76ers really have no confidence to win in the face of the Knicks, and now the Knicks are so strong that some teams that are not strong enough to lose the fighting spirit to resist, the 76ers only resisted a little more than a quarter today, and after finding that there is no power to return to the sky, many players once again chose to tacitly brush the data with the Knicks, which also brought the game back to the rhythm of the first two games.

In such a game, the results naturally need not be said much, and the fans are also more concerned about the data of the stars, especially the personal data of the Holy Sect Master.

Although he only played three quarters of the game today, he still managed to score 29 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists with the strategy of "letting his teammates defend and being lazy", if it weren't for D'Antoni not replacing him on the court in the fourth quarter, the Holy Sect Master would have a good chance of getting 40+ today.
