Wu Huang didn't feel too tired in his post-game interview, and he couldn't tell that he had just played 46 minutes straight in the high-intensity playoffs, but he stretched his eyebrows and said, "To be honest, I'm not surprised by that." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info We are full of confidence and trust each other. Tonight I was on fire, I could get to any corner of the court, I even thought I was going to shoot all the shots. "The Knicks have won seven straight playoff games since their victory over the Bulls, with five of the seven wins in double digits, putting them on top of the best playoff finish in franchise history, and many Knicks fans with more than 10 years of experience don't remember how powerful they were.

Boss D'Antoni said: "He took the initiative to take control of the ball and earn us points. So I said to him, 'Okay, the rest of the guys will be in charge.'" ”

Xiao Si's performance today is average, in fact, even if he performs well, he can only come up with the same statement at this moment: "He has a character that does not admit defeat, and when he decides what to do, no one in the league can stop him." ”

Gallinari was so familiar with patting his boss's ass that he didn't even need to hit the draft, and opened his mouth to say, "There's no doubt that tonight is Hugo's time." He's the best player in the league and he knows when to give the team momentum, and he does that. As long as Hugo is around, we don't have to worry about losing the game. You just give him the ball when it counts and wait for him to pass it back to you, or be ready to applaud and cheer for his goal. ”

The media actually wants to see the Bulls pull the total score to 1:2 or even 2:2 at home, but now they can only express their amazement at Wu Huang's performance again, and then milk him like crazy!

ESPN reported the next day: With another amazing performance from Hugo, the Knicks are just one step away from sweeping the Bulls, and in fact even the Bulls know that it is only a matter of time before they are eliminated.

Hugo's current performance is the same as Michael Jordan's playoff dominance from the sidelines, and the former is just like Joe Heaven. In the last 3 games, Hugo has played a total of 130 minutes and scored 116 points, and even head coach D'Antoni has admitted that he was conquered by the performance of the New York Emperor.

Perhaps, in the eyes of others, Hugo is numb to the ease of knocking down his opponents again and again. On the contrary, he enjoyed it and we heard him say, "I've always had fun and I love the feeling of playing with passion. ”

So are the Bulls players just watching Hugo slash points with impunity?

"Of course not, we've done everything we can to defend him." Bulls center Noah said, "But when you play this kind of offensive touch, no one can defend it. And he's a lot more mature now, and he has a lot of words, and I can be affected by his trash talk under the basket, so you can imagine what happened to Derrick in the game! All I can say is that he's a very mature superstar now, in every way. ”

In the second half of Game 3, the Bulls used two or three players to defend Hugo, but with little effect, they only succeeded in limiting the "New York Emperor" game, once he came to the top of the arc with the ball, he could choose to shoot 3-pointers, or go directly to the basket, and he could also share the ball with teammates, so his scoring often gave the opponent no time to react at all, especially when he really got into the groove, no matter how many people went to defense, it was useless.

ESPN's report suggests that they have decided that the Bulls have no chance, and in fact the Knicks have not really faced a challenge since the start of this year's playoffs, they have won seven consecutive games, and the Bulls themselves know that the chances of turning the series around are slim.

"The opponent broke us, but if the opponent can easily beat us by 20 or 30 points, there is absolutely no way!" Anthony's answer says it all.

Charles Barkley was assigned to play the Lakers and Mavericks series in the division finals, but after the Knicks' victory over the Bulls. also ran out and made a prediction: "After being directly poured a 3:0 by the Knicks, the Bulls are now on the verge of collapse, but even if their hope of turning the tables is quite slim, in order to maintain their dignity, they will do their best to stop the Knicks from winning the playoffs so far in the fourth game, but I still bought the Knicks 4:0 to advance to the Eastern Conference finals, maybe we can look forward to the blockbuster battle between the Knicks and the Heat." ”

Barkley didn't expect his poisonous milk to kill the Heat, and Rondo played the most iconic game of his career in Game 3, where he reproduced Pierce's return in the second half and staged a one-armed savior.

With 7 minutes left in the third quarter, Rondo fell to the ground in the process of fighting for rebounds with Wade, because it was Wade underneath, so Rondo tried to prop up his body with his arm, but in a hurry, Rondo did not notice his posture - he supported the ground with a reverse joint.

In the slow motion of the replay, the fans saw a very horrific scene: Rondo's arm on the ground was bent outward, which is the direction we can't do under normal conditions, and it was bent twenty or thirty degrees. After the injury, Rondo lay on the ground, and then couldn't keep his balance when he barely got up, and barely left the court with the help of the staff.

At this moment, many people will definitely think of the words "season reimbursement", because such injuries are shocking and thrilling......

But what many people forget is that this is the North Shore Garden Arena, a place that has produced countless miracles, and all the Celtic players seem to have a magical power here, and nothing can stop them, including those seemingly serious injuries.

In the final moments of the third quarter, Rondo slowly walked out of the locker room and sat on the bench on the sidelines, his expression solemn but not painful. Unlike before the injury, there was a hint of fortitude between his eyebrows, and at the same time, he also wore a white arm guard on his left arm.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Rondo appeared again, and the North Shore Garden Arena resounded like a tsunami, and they once again saw the scene of the return of the king.

With only one arm left, Rondo ran relentlessly on the court, and he was even able to steal Bosh's pass with his once injured left arm, and the Celtics' lead gradually widened under his leadership, gradually sealing the victory of the game, and finally defeated the Heat with a score of 97-81 to tie the overall score at 1-2.

Time went back to the first game of the 2008 Finals, and fans saw a similar scene in that game, when the injured man was Pierce, who returned to the locker room and then back on the pitch after the injury, staging the famous return of the king.

This time, Boston saw the return of the king, and at the same time saw the victory of the game.

This is Boston, this is the North Shore Garden Arena, and this is a place where there is no shortage of wonders.

Wu Huang was also convinced afterwards, originally he still looked down on Rondo a little, thinking that this guy's shooting was the same as, and he was not a player of the same level as himself at all. But now it seems that people can enter the defense not by virtue of the golden sign of the Celtics, this man with a girlfriend who looks similar to Durant is indeed a fierce player who can break through and defend well.

At this moment, look at the Lakers, who are always overturned by their opponents, there is still a big difference between the two biggest teams in the NBA, the iron-blooded spirit of the Green Army has been inherited, but the aristocratic atmosphere of the Lakers is always reminiscent of words such as "decline".

The reality is also the same, the Celtics relied on their resilience to see hope again, but the Lakers swooped all the way to the waterloo.

The matchup between the Lakers and the Mavericks in the Western Conference semifinals is fundamentally a pinnacle battle between the inside and outside. Whoever can play to his strengths and beat the opponent's strengths will be able to take the initiative in the game.

It's somewhat similar to the Knicks' game against the Bulls, where D'Antoni spent long periods of time on the small lineup in Game 2 and Game 3, giving up the seemingly reasonable style of play that he wasn't good at, and going all out on the run-and-gun route that he was best at, and playing even more extreme than the regular season.

The Mavericks also have a large number of high-quality outside shooters, with Nowitzki, Kidd and Stevenson all having good outside offensive ability in the starters, and Terry, Stojakovic and Barria who came off the bench are all players with speed and range.

In the first two games, the Mavericks took advantage of the outside to the fullest. Not only did the three-point shot give the Lakers a heavy blow, but Kidd's passing route was also a problem that the Lakers couldn't solve, and when the Mavericks used the dual point guard lineup of Barria and Kidd, the Lakers inside neither Gasol nor Bynum could keep up with the pace of defense, and was killed by the blocking and dismantling tactics of the Mavericks' outside players many times.

When the Mavericks brought their advantages into play, the Lakers' interior advantage became an ornament, and the advantage of the twin towers was basically not brought into play, Gasol, Bynum and Odom combined with less than 50% shooting, and the offense at critical moments did not play its power.

In the third game in Dallas, the Mavericks continued to use their outside advantage to deal with the Lakers' interior advantage, the tactics of both teams in this game are very clear, the Lakers continue to attack on the inside, and the Mavericks frequently project on the periphery, the two teams are you play your outside line, I attack my inside, it depends on whose advantage can survive to the end.

The Lakers' inside advantage helped them gain a certain advantage in the first half, but at the beginning of the final quarter, Stojakovic came off the bench and scored two consecutive outside attacks, and Barria's quick layup caused problems for the Lakers' defense again. Nowitzki and Stojakovic's three-pointers both dealt heavy blows to the Lakers at critical moments.

At the last moment, the Mavericks' three-pointer from the outside once again destroyed the Lakers' interior advantage, won the third game, and completely took the initiative of the entire series into their own hands.

So the question is, if you count the Thunder team with a 2:1 lead, the current advantage in the division semifinals is actually the teams that are good at playing the outside, and the teams with traditional inside lines are either out of the game or are about to be eliminated, does this mean that the league will completely usher in the world of small ball in the future?

It is worth mentioning that after the Lakers lost the game, Artest, who had previously been banned for one game for malicious fouls, made inappropriate remarks off the court and brought Wu Huang with him.

Artest showed no remorse in the interview, and his words were meant to reproach the referee: "It's a ridiculous situation, and I don't want to do it because it means I have to justify my actions, and I have to compare it to other similar situations, and I have to think about when I was hit in the face by that bastard, and I have to think about when Dirk elbowed me." In the first fight, he elbowed me back, aiming it at my head. I remember when I was with the Kings, Ginobili slammed me in the mouth and elbowed me on the head, even though they both said it wasn't intentional. ”

Mr. Peace was also very aggrieved and said, "They said that I hit Baria with my shoulder." What if Dirk elbowed me? And that guy, his boxing skills are better than his three-point shot. Even in Memphis, Marc Gasol hit me so much that my lips broke. So, you know what I mean? ”

Wu Huang smiled and wrote on his Twitter: "Mr. Peace's explanation sounded very reasonable, and even I began to wonder if someone deliberately hit my fist with his face that time. But I want to say, with such an attitude, it's hard to believe that he won't do it again? Wu Huang's gloating attitude has naturally been criticized a lot, and some fans have left messages on Wu Huang's Twitter and Facebook, thinking that he is too petty, that incident has been a long time ago, and it is clear that he took advantage of it, but he is still holding on to it.

Wu Huang stopped caring about this after teasing Artest, and the Bulls were eliminated by them in only one or two games, and they can already turn some of their attention to the Heat and Celtics, the winner of which will be their opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals.

However, Wu Huang believes that the most important task at the moment is to kick the Bulls out of the game first, even if it is 3:0, it does not mean that they have won 100%, and it is not too late to win the last game first, and then think about the Eastern Conference Finals.

There is only one day off in the middle of the fourth game between the Knicks and the Bulls, and this year's playoff schedule is very tight, Wu Huang thought with some malice: I don't know if the league wants players to experience the horror of the shrinking season first, so that they know that if they are unwilling to compromise on the collective bargaining agreement, then next season will be all this kind of two-day game, or even five-day three-game game, and then I am afraid that many people will not be reimbursed if they can't make the playoffs.

On May 8th, the fourth game between the Knicks and the Bulls, the game was very intense, and the Bulls played particularly tenaciously with their backs, and they finally let Wu Huang's score drop.

In the first quarter, Wu Huang frequently missed under heavy defense, except for one layup, he only shot one shot from the outside, and the remaining five shots were missed, and he failed to get a free throw opportunity in this quarter, and the Knicks only scored 18 points in the first quarter, 8 points behind the Bulls.

Wu Huang still couldn't play in the second quarter, only shooting a three-pointer, but his teammates performed well, Xiao Si shouldered the scoring responsibility, Gallinari and O'Neal also played, and Wu Huang, who was heavily guarded, could only contribute to the team on the defensive end with Iguodala.

The first brother said that he had been sacrificing other aspects of his stats for the team's defense in the second round, and today he continued to wear down Anthony with his stubborn defense. It's the best defensive strategy right now when teammates can't support him, and the more Andrea consumes Anthony, the better the Knicks' chances of winning.

The Bulls maintained the lead in the first half, despite the loss in long-range shooting, but the Bulls relied on tight defense to force the Knicks' shooting percentage to drop significantly, and the Bulls' rebounding was finally normal today, Boozer and Noah used their height advantage to finally suppress the Knicks' small lineup in rebounding, and the Bulls led the Knicks by as much as 10 in rebounds at 25:15 in the first half. However, the Knicks did not lose completely on the defensive end, and in the first half, Wu Huang and Iguodala, as well as Tony Allen's strong individual defensive ability, forced the Bulls to make eight turnovers, otherwise the Knicks would not have just trailed by seven or eight points.

Shortly after the start of the third quarter, the Bulls were less aggressive on the defensive end.

As soon as Wu Huang got a respite, he immediately hit two shots, and after the Knicks scored eight points in a row, they narrowed the gap to 3 points at 48:51.

The Bulls can only regain their strict defense against Wu Huang, and it is not uncommon for him to face two or three people from the Bulls in this game. In order to maintain this high-intensity defense, Noah's running distance in the first half was almost the same as that of Xiao Si throughout the game. The Bulls can put nearly half of the defensive strength on Wu Huang at the same time, but also support the offense of other Knicks players, and Noah's overdrawn physical assistance and supplementary defense play at least half of the role, but this style of play cannot last the whole game.

In the third quarter, the Bulls maintained a slight lead, and Wu Huang could feel that the referee's whistle was also more biased towards the Bulls today, and many of his breakthroughs were not fouled. However, the Knicks players have long foreseen this situation, and if the Bulls can't enjoy the home whistle treatment after falling behind 0:3, they must have offended David Stern.

Rose broke out for a period of time at the end of the third quarter, and Wu Huang was a little embarrassed by his continuous high-difficulty shots, and he also pulled back his shooting rate of 37% a little, otherwise the shooting rate would drop again, and even his fans would not be able to stand it, how could a team's core shooting rate be so low?

At the critical moment, Gallinari stepped up again, first hitting a key three-pointer on the left wing, and then breaking through to make a 2+1 to cancel out Rose's efforts.

In this round of the series, the Italian has performed very well, he has stepped up several times when the team needs it, although this is related to Wu Huang and Xiao Si attracting most of the defense, but it can also show that Gallinari is moving closer to the quasi-star player, once the defense against him is neglected, the result will be fatal, which is a threat that only a player who has stepped into the quasi-All-Star level will have.

Wu Huang scored only 12 points in the first three quarters, his worst game of the series, and although he also contributed 4 rebounds and 9 assists, scoring was always the most effective kill and his best skill.

At the start of the fourth quarter, Wu Huang felt that the Bulls' defense should have declined, but he still missed two shots under Rose's desperate entanglement. Today Rose once again put on a mad dog defense, almost like he was imitating Iguodala, but the truth is that Iguodala is imitating Rose's defense in Game 2.

Wu Huang still only hit one three-pointer in this quarter, but his three-pointer was worth a thousand dollars.

At the last moment, Anthony, who was almost exhausted of physical strength, made a mistake in the dribble breakthrough and was stealed by Iguodala, and Wu Huang used his left hand to shoot a quasi-final shot with his own left hand that had saved a lot of time before the end of the game, which was 26 feet away from the basket and went into the net with an ultra-long-range three-point hollow shot, which also helped the Knicks tie the game at the end of the fourth quarter and enter overtime.

When Thibodeau saw the game go to extra time, he knew his team didn't have much of a chance. Anthony's last-minute mistake means that his physical strength has been exhausted, Rose and Boozer are also running out of energy, and Noah, the team's most physical fitness, has also become weak because of excessive consumption on the defensive end, so how can they have the energy to play overtime?

Wu Huang smiled, his recovery ability once again showed a perverted side, when the Bulls made repeated mistakes in passing and coordination in overtime, and couldn't even compete with the Knicks in rebounds, Wu Huang was as omnipotent as if he had taken drugs, not only snatched rebounds from Boozer's head again, but also played 2+1 twice on the offensive end, and the Bulls sealed a whole monster and finally broke through the seal in overtime, and the Chicagoans were defeated for a while.

The home fans left the court early again, and the Bulls were obviously sluggish on defense due to the physical impact of the trapped physical impact, and the offensive end was full of mistakes, first Noah had a passing error, then Anthony missed the dribble, and finally Rose shot out of the frame...... As the final 1 minute and 20 seconds of overtime began, Noah even had cramps.

Wu Huang only got 17 points, 5 rebounds, 12 assists and 3 steals in the regular season, but in just five minutes of overtime, he turned his data into 31 points, 8 rebounds, 13 assists and 4 steals.

In the end, the Knicks defeated the Bulls 119-108 on the road, thus sweeping the opponent with a total score of 4-0 and advancing to the Eastern Conference finals first, waiting for the winner of the Heat and Celtics.

At the moment when the final whistle sounded, Emperor Wu couldn't help but raise his left hand, and secretly thought in his heart: "This left hand has followed me for 8 years, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful!" But how do you recharge it? (To be continued.) )
