Chapter 313: Three-Point Record
On March 9, the Knicks defeated the Grizzlies away, and Wu Huang scored 28 points, 6 rebounds, 11 assists and 4 steals. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info But the bad news is that O'Neill is injured again, this time O'Neill injured his knee in a hand-to-hand fight with Gasol Jr., and he himself conservatively estimated that it will take two to three weeks to recover, which means that this fat man perfectly avoided the Devil's March schedule, who would believe him if he didn't cheat?
Although the Knicks won the game today, D'Antoni is likely in trouble with a feverish enhanced version of the "blind play" strategy, and his so-called strategy of pursuing the number of shots is actually very flawed.
D'Antoni whimsically threw a bone in the face of opponents who wanted to play positional battles with him, hoping to deliberately give the opponent some fast breaks and one-on-one opportunities to achieve the goal of speeding up by strengthening the frontcourt pressing and rushing to grab the frontcourt rebounds. In fact, they want to use their individual defense ability and athleticism to lure opponents into playing fast with them, as long as these opponents take advantage of the Knicks' pressing and rushing to the frontcourt rebound loopholes to launch counterattacks, it is actually equivalent to increasing the speed in disguise.
What D'Antoni has always wanted is to bring up the speed, even if he gives the opponent some scoring opportunities, he doesn't care, anyway, as long as the two sides play fast, no matter how they end up, they will take advantage in the end, which is a strategy of taking advantage of small losses. Besides, it's not easy for any team to play the Knicks' counterattack, and the New Yorkers have focused all their defensive skills on fast defense and individual defense, which can minimize the shortcomings of players' defensive awareness, team chemistry, and rotation speed, while giving full play to the advantages of Knicks players in individual defense, athleticism, and small area coordination.
In the previous games against the Heat and Magic, the opponent's multiple counterattacks not only did not succeed, but gave the Knicks a chance to turn the spear and fight back after the sneak attack failed. And once the Knicks hit a few such offenses, the morale and psychological blow could cause a collapse.
But today in Memphis, the New Yorkers' tactics were targeted, with Hollins' team being solid on the inside, consciously controlling mistakes when executing quick counter-attacks, and would rather stabilize and replay positional battles than rush in if there were no chance of surprise attacks. The Grizzlies are now a team that is very obsessed with positional warfare, they are not in a hurry on the court, and the Knicks' tactics of luring the enemy into the depths are naturally useless, and in the end, they still have to use the individual abilities of the star to solve the problem.
On March 10, the Knicks faced the Mavericks again on the road, not to mention whether they were targeted by the opponent again in this game, and the back-to-back away games alone made the New York players complain.
In fact, the Dallas people have a bad schedule this month, but at least today they are waiting for work, facing the Knicks, who only fought the Grizzlies less than 24 hours ago, the Dallas easily staged a massacre at home! The Knicks trailed by 22 points in less than three quarters, and D'Antoni had to surrender early, replacing all the main players in the second half of the third quarter, and he chose to retain his strength in this game.
Wu Huang only played 25 minutes today, got 16 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, although he has the physical strength to play a high-intensity game, but this game really has no need to win, the Knicks really fight with the Mavericks The result is likely to be to make a player injured, and it is difficult for them to win the game, so it is too worthless to think about it.
The Knicks played a full seven games in the first ten days of March, and despite losing two, all the media gave them a high rating, and the Knicks still had a 5-2 record in this 10-day, seven-game schedule, and the players were already very good, and there was nothing to fault with them.
In fact, many media outlets believe that the Knicks will suffer a waterloo in March, and the ranking may drop as a result. But now on the contrary, instead of slipping down the Knicks' rankings, they surpassed the Spurs and forced them back to the top spot, because the Spurs really started a large-scale rotation in March, the Knicks lost two games, and the Spurs lost four games in March, and the top spot finally couldn't sit still.
The Knicks took advantage of the excitement of returning to the top of the standings, killing the Indiana Pacers at home and away on the 13th and 15th respectively, and then defeated the Memphis Grizzlies again at home.
It is worth mentioning that Wu Huang scored 25 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in the home game against the Pacers, and successfully got the ninth triple-double of the season, which also tied the triple-double record of last season. Even if he can't break Kidd's record this season, at least Wu Huang defeated himself last season and got the milestone of 10+ triple-doubles in a single season first.
The Knicks improved their record to 52-14 after playing the first half of March, and they still have a chance to break into the top 10 all-time.
Both the Celtics and Cavaliers have a 66-win record in previous years, and the Mavericks also had the 10th all-time record of 67 wins in the 06-07 season. Going a little further, the Celtics, Bulls and Lakers have all had 67-15 records at various times.
If the Knicks don't lose their next dozen games, they can leapfrog these four teams and become the No. 7 team in NBA history. But if they lose one more game and only get a record of 67 wins, then according to the first-come, first-served principle, they will suddenly fall out of the top 10 in history.
New York fans naturally hope that their team can finish in the top 10 of all time, but if they want to not lose a game in the next month, even the always confident Wu Huang finds it a little more difficult. And this broke the team's previous best record was only 60 wins and 22 losses, Wu Huang felt in his heart that it was more reliable for them to break the team history record of this weak chicken first this season, although it was not impossible to hit 66 wins, or even 67 wins, but it was too difficult to get 68 wins.
Before the words fell, just when New York fans and Wu Huang's brain-dead fans boldly predicted that their team would hit the top 10 in history, the Knicks almost overturned in Detroit. This time, the away back-to-back let Xiao Si strain his calf in the second half, which really shocked Knicks fans in a cold sweat, but fortunately, the post-game inspection confirmed that it was only a slight strain, if the interior core was injured at this critical juncture, it would be a real day.
Wu Huang led the team alone in the second half, and he was stunned to kill the Pistons alive with his perverted three-point shot!
This game, which made New York fans tremble, was finally passed safely and unsafely under the great power of the Holy Sect Master of New York.
Wu Huang's performance today was amazing enough, he only scored 10 points in the first half, and then he opened up in anger in the second half, hitting 10 three-pointers in the last two quarters of the game, breaking the NBA's half-court three-point record, and hitting 12 three-pointers in the whole game also tied the single-game three-point shooting record of Kobe Bryant and Doyer Marshall. As for the half-time three-point record, because there are too many people who hold it together, Wu Huang didn't bother to care who broke the record after the game, anyway, he improved the original 8-ball record to 10 goals, I believe it will be difficult for anyone to catch up with him, except for himself......
With 46 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, Wu Huang forced the Knicks out of the mud in back-to-back games on the road, avoiding the danger of overturning and retaining their chance to enter the top 10 in history.
In the eyes of the New York media, that's the value of being a superstar, and if you want to break those dusty records, you have to have those guys on your team because they can force a reversal of some games that you have to lose.
Just when the global sports media exclaimed again that Wu Huang seemed to have become a "record finisher", some fans who had not watched the game for a long time had some doubts after the game: other single-game records, such as 17 blocks in a single game, 30+ assists in a single game, 11 steals in a single game, 55 rebounds in a single game, and 100 points in a single game...... Not to mention breaking these records, even if there are players who have completed half of them now, it is worth reporting well in the media, but it is almost impossible to break them, but the record of 12 three-pointers in a single game does not seem to be an exaggeration, why hasn't it been broken for so long?
Is this question the same as doing the first 3 push-ups and the last 3 push-ups? Of course, this may not be accurate, but the answer is actually simpler in the eyes of old fans, because three-point shooting is very good to defend - once I find that your three-point shot is accurate, and you have already made seven or eight shots, then I will stay close to you to defend, even if you break through to score two points, I will not let you shoot three-pointers, which is also the defensive choice of all teams. At this time, it is countless times more difficult for offensive players to shoot three points, and many of those who have made 10+ three-pointers in a single game must have made ultra-long-range shots, because you can't find a chance to shoot at a normal three-point distance. Coupled with the mentality of the players when they are about to break the record, so many factors add up, it is not an ordinary difficulty for anyone to shoot 10+ three-pointers, in addition to the player's own hard power to pass, the luck factor also accounts for at least half.
Ray Allen can hardly break this record because he is not a convulsive player, but players like Kobe Bryant and J.R. Smith have a chance to break this record, and of course a player like Wu Huang who is both stable and can convulsive.
ESPN's explanation will be more professional, they think that 12 three-pointers in a single game are almost impossible in the NBA 20 years ago, and it is difficult to complete in the NBA 10 years ago, or even 5 years ago, for the same simple reason: the previous NBA tactics generally focused on the interior, and after the three-point shot was invented, it was mainly a means to open up the defensive distance, the purpose was to empty the interior and the breakthrough route, but no one would shoot 12 threes casually under the reasonable tactics of the time, let alone 12 threes in a game.
Secondly, a modern team needs multiple scoring points, most of which are inside and outside, one large and one small, or two large and one small, one large and two small, and everyone has limited effective ball holding, because the ball has to be shared. And throwing so many three-pointers requires a lot of quality from the players themselves, in addition to the hard standard, that is, the shooting percentage, it takes enough courage and superhuman self-confidence, as well as the infinite trust of teammates to dare to shoot like this.
To put it simply, if a player wants to achieve 12 threes per game, they must meet at least these points:
1. Super first-class long-range projection ability.
2. Absolute ball possession in the team.
3. Absolute trust from teammates.
4. Unlimited tactical support.
5. You can create your own chances and have the ability to hold the ball at the top level.
6. The opponent's defense.
7. The favor of Lady Luck.
After Emperor Wu created this miracle, his predecessor Marshall expressed his respect to him on Twitter.
"Hugo is such a great marksman! Welcome to this (12 three-pointers per game) club, lad! But I'm sure it's only a matter of time before this single-game three-point record will be yours alone. Marshall wrote on his Twitter.
Wu Huang is only the third player in NBA history to shoot 12 three-pointers in a single game, and before him, Kobe Bryant had shot 12 of 18 three-pointers in the Lakers' game against the SuperSonics on January 8, 2003, and Marshall made 12 of 19 three-pointers in the Raptors' victory over the 76ers on March 14, 2005. Wu Huang shot 12-of-17 three-pointers against the Pistons, the highest percentage of the three, and he was also the only person in history to shoot 10+ three-pointers in the half.
Although Marshall's compliment is slightly flattering, but from the performance of Wu Huang against the sky this season, it seems not impossible to shoot 13 or more three-pointers in a single game, don't forget his magical performance in the three-point contest last year, since he can hit 10 three-pointers in the half, then if you are lucky another day, it is too easy to break the record of 12 goals in the game.
At present, there are more than ten games left before the end of the regular season, and no one is sure what earth-shattering moves Wu Huang can make in the remaining month.
After tying the single-game three-point record, Wu Huang simply didn't have time to stay and appreciate the results he created, and on March 20, the Knicks beat the Bucks on the road, but then they had another back-to-back on the road, this time against the mighty Celtics.
"Oh my God, it's so difficult!" Wu Huang couldn't help but complain before the game, facing the Celtics on the road, the odds were not good, and now they are still in time for the back-to-back on the road, which is why he feels that the Knicks will not win 68 this season, because they have a few more games like this in the future. Wu Huang felt in his heart that it would be good if they could keep their record of 66 wins.
There were no surprises in the result of this game, Wu Huang was able to force his way through the Pistons by his personal ability, but in the face of the old and spicy Celtics and the extremely strong individual defensive ability of Rondo, he was really powerless to return to the sky alone.
Wu Huang is a man today, Xiao Si did not play, for the sake of insurance, D'Antoni chose to let Xiao Si rest in this kind of suspense game, so the suspense of the game only lasted one quarter, after the Knicks fell behind by 16 points in the first half, D'Antoni gave up the game with a decisive strategy in the third quarter, Wu Huang didn't even play in the second half, and only got 13 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal.
