The Hawks were beaten 9-3 by the Knicks as soon as they came up, and after the timeout, they switched to Joe Johnson holding the ball more, but the Hawks' offense did not achieve much either, and Iguodala was very strong against Joe Johnson today, and in the eyes of Atlanta fans, Iguodala had shown the intensity of his wrestling match today.

New York fans call this feng shui rotation, and in the first game of the playoffs, why wasn't Bibby wrestling with Wu Huang? Today, the Knicks are the home team, and they naturally enjoy a certain amount of care, Iguodala's defense did not attract many fouls for himself, but Joe Johnson was a little overwhelmed by this kind of defense.

Joe Johnson is indeed one of the most versatile players in the league, he can do almost anything, his athleticism is good, his body is not his shortcoming, and his basketball IQ is not bad, so it seems that he has no shortcomings.

But take a closer look, what exactly does Joe Johnson do best?

If Kobe Bryant is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is his ecstatic step-back shot; When it comes to James, fans will think of the Gorilla's breakthrough as almost incomprehensible; When it comes to Wade again, everyone will think of The Flash's Lost Steps and Spinners; Even when Wu Huang is mentioned, everyone will think of his shooting ability to penetrate Yang in 100 steps; But when it comes to Joe Johnson, he doesn't seem to have any inexplicable offensive skills, and his athleticism, while good, is not to the level of "perverted".

Iguodala finally showed the demeanor of a top wing defender today, he blocked Joe Johnson from 4 shots 0 in the first quarter, Wu Huang's side also only allowed the opposing Crawford to score 2 points, and the Hawks' guard line counted as free throws in the first quarter. There was only a pitiful 4 points in the account.

The Hawks' perimeter line was all but wiped out today. A team with no outside lines. It will be doubly difficult to play inside, so Josh and Horford did not play very well, which made the Hawks only score 12 points in the first quarter, and they were almost prevented by the Knicks from scoring to single digits.

The Knicks played their favorite offensive rhythm in the first quarter under the lead of Wu Huang, and the Hawks called a few timeouts during the period and couldn't stop the Knicks players who were blessed by the home court. In particular, they also have a Wu Huang who broke free from the dog chain - many broadcast commentators describe him in this way, Wu Huang played too unrestrained today, whether it was Jeff Teague or Crawford, it seemed to be transparent in his eyes, and he even once made an ultra-long-distance three-point shot from a distance of one and a half meters outside the three-point line, and he also made a shot.

The score was 36:12, and the Knicks led the opponent by 24 points in the first quarter, and I am afraid no one would believe this score, even the Knicks players felt in a trance after playing the first quarter, and Wu Huang scored 19 points and 2 assists in a single quarter. The Eagles later defended him with three defenders, but were unable to tie the freed leash back.

New York fans are just as much as they are. The whole of Madison Garden was in a frenzy at the moment!

"Hugo has gone crazy, he can't stop it now, any obstacle will be torn to pieces by him!" That's how all the commentators describe Wu Huang's crazy performance today, when was the last time they saw such a performance in the playoffs? Anyway, it's been a long, long time since anyone played like Emperor Wu today.

In fact, people who say this have amnesia, and last season's Ray Allen scored 51 points against the Bulls, which is the highest score in a single playoff game for an active player.

In the second quarter, the rotation lineups of the two teams began to fight, and this time the Knicks benches at home finally got up, and today they once again explained to the majority of fans what is called the home dragon, the away bug, which is the importance of home court advantage in the playoffs.

Harrington and David Lee, who came out early in the first quarter, combined to score 11 points in three minutes, and they stabbed the already confused Hawks players in the heart again!

D'Antoni let David Lee come down to rest after only half of the first quarter today, just to prepare him to brush up points for the team off the bench.

It's easy to understand, since you can't beat Horford, let's brush up some monsters to upgrade first, and then fight the boss when you brush out your self-confidence, this is a method that Mustache came up with for David Lee that is not a solution, and it seems to be quite effective at present.

David Lee brushed up 8 points and 3 rebounds in the first five minutes of the second quarter, in fact, there were only two minutes without Horford in these five minutes, but today the Hawks have been blinded by the Knicks' offense, even Horford is a little messed up, David Lee took the opportunity to score the ball twice on Horford's head, which made him regain a lot of confidence.

Wu Huang only rested for three minutes, and the Knicks did not relax in the second quarter, maintaining a lineup of at least two main players + sixth man present.

Midway through the second quarter, the Hawks finally stabilized their position a little and hit a 7-3 attack wave, but Wu Huang began to explode again, and two consecutive breakaways caused Teague to foul and knock the poor guy down.

Jeff Teague's heart is broken at this time, he only played three minutes in the second quarter, and it seems to be the same in the first quarter, in the first half he played six minutes and ate four fouls, which is no longer blown up, not like a league player at all, he is completely abused!

The Eagles players are also on the verge of collapse, and the morale damage of teammates is sometimes even more immeasurable, and humans have a natural tendency to pass the buck, and players will automatically blame the worst player for losing when they are in a bad situation.

And this person, naturally, is today's Teague, which will make their own hearts feel a lot better, but Teague will have to bear everyone's negative emotions, including the abuse of the fans after the game. So, it's really not okay for NBA players to not have a certain level of resilience.

The Knicks' lead has remained above 30 points and is still expanding.

At the critical moment, led by Josh Smith, the Hawks launched another 9-4 attack wave at the end of the second quarter to chase the score to 38-68 before halftime.

"It's so dangerous that they almost narrowed the gap to within 30 points." It was a joke from the Knicks' live commentary at halftime. I don't know if the Hawks will complain about it after the game and incur a fine.

But that's all for later. Today's Madison Garden was the most cheered game of the entire season. Although the Hawks performed at the end of the second quarter, Wu Huang's state was really amazing, in the first half he burst inside and outside to beat the Hawks to no temper at all, and at halftime, the Knicks led the Hawks by a huge 30-point margin.

There is not much suspense about the outcome of this game at the moment, but the New York fans at the scene felt that this lead was not enough, because they lost to the Hawks by 35 points in the first game. The Knicks will have to win more today to regain face.

Wu Huang expressed his understanding, after the first quarter, he told his teammates that they must not let go of the Eagles today, and must slaughter the opponent, which will make their next game easier, and it is best to defeat the opponent's momentum in this battle, so it is not enough to lead by only 30 points, they want to play a shocking tragedy to announce to the entire league that a new strong man has been born!

That's what he did in the first half. The 31 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists in the half have set a new record for the Knicks in the playoffs, and no one has ever scored 30+ points in the half. Wu Huang was the first Knicks player to do so.

New York fans are now starting to think that even if he did sleep with David Lee's girlfriend, it wouldn't be a big deal, because their emperor had this privilege!

The Knicks players all played well today, with David Lee also having 10 points and 7 rebounds in the first half, Gallinari 8 points and 4 rebounds, Iguodala 6 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, Harrington 6 points and 2 rebounds, Frye 3 points, and Green 3 points.

In the first quarter, Wu Huang threw an ultra-long-range three-point shot when the offensive time was approaching, he didn't shoot this ball well, but luck helped him, Wu Huang said with a smile in an interview with a reporter on the sidelines at the end of the halftime: "I was shocked myself, I threw that ball nonsense, but luck was good." He then added, "Miracles, it's going to happen here today, and we're going to show the fans how determined we are to get to the next round." ”

At halftime, ABC's Jeff Van Gundy praised Wu Huang's first-half performance, "Hugo can't win this year's championship, but he has proven himself to be one of the most talented players in the world. Although he did nothing under the Hawks' defense in the first game, when the Knicks rewatched the game footage, Hugo sat in the front row, and the serious and even angry expression on his face revealed everything: he wanted revenge, I would say he did it today, and he could well lead the team to give the Hawks an even more painful loss. ”

Wu Huang returned to the locker room after being interviewed by reporters on the sidelines, and as soon as he entered, he found his teammates whispering and laughing in the locker room, and the topic of conversation had even developed to which nightclub to celebrate after the game.

"Shut up, do you think you've won?" Emperor Wu was upset when he saw these people getting carried away, and immediately warned them, "Let your mind melt into the game, don't think about what will happen after winning, I said, today we not only want to win, but also use a big victory to defeat them." Don't forget, we're still 2-0 down, and even if we win, it's not time to celebrate. ”

Iguodala quickly stood up in solidarity with Wu Huang: "Hugo is right, we can't take it lightly yet, we have to win as many points as possible in this game, and you have to continue to show your offensive talent." ”

D'Antoni can hear the outside players talking in the coach's room in the locker room, which is the equipment he asked the team to install after he became the Knicks, a bit of a bugging device to monitor the players, but this is to collect some players' real-time dynamics, of course, most of the players must not know that their locker room still has this kind of thing, only Wu Huang knows that the coach is obscenely monitoring their words and deeds inside.

The mustache waited until the two captains finished their training, and then came out to arrange the tactics for the second half, he didn't have to be an ugly person, a witty stroke.

The Knicks have a huge advantage today, but they actually didn't play any subtle tactical coordination, back and forth is Wu Huang control the ball and the inside line for a simple high-post cover offense, other players have the opportunity to play air cut cooperation, no chance to wait for Wu Huang to shoot the ball, the reason why they can lead so much is that they feel good attribute.

In the second half of the game, the Eagles defended more tightly and resolutely used a double bag against Wu Huang. The line stretched out all the way above the free throw line. Horford was left alone in the box. It looks like a 1-2-2 defensive position, but Wu Huang looks more like a 1-4 position. Hell, if anyone has ever set up such a defensive formation like this, but today the Hawks simply gave up the defense behind them in the second half and placed heavy troops in the upper line area.

"Hurry up and hit the baseline and attack in the low post!" Wu Huang saw the Eagles' gambling defense, and immediately ordered his teammates to intersperse with the baseline. The opposing defense is now all pressed to the line, and the two low posts are almost unguarded areas, and passing the ball behind is undoubtedly a good way, as long as the ball is passed, there will be open shots. He didn't believe that his teammates couldn't shoot their opponents like this.

The Hawks' gambling defense has a lot of hidden dangers, no matter how bullish Horford is, he is not Howard, and there is some reason for the Magic to play like this, but it is too big for the Hawks to play like this. No one knows what Larry Drew thinks, maybe he is trying to use the high interception defense to make Wu Huang unable to play the ball in the first place?

Wu Huang did come close to making a pass error at first, but he then passed a little slower and a little more carefully, but as long as he could pass the ball to two low posts, it was enough to make the Hawks' defenders tired. They can only run back and forth with the basketball.

Of course, the Eagles players can also run around without following Wu Huang's passes. But that would give the Knicks players an open shot, which would be more beneficial to the Knicks.

In the third quarter of the game, what New York fans saw was that Wu Huang kept passing the basketball to the two low-post areas outside the three-point line, and the most hateful thing was that the Knicks players were not in a hurry to shoot, and they had to guide back and forth a few times before shooting, and they treated the basketball game as a monkey trick.

But you can't blame the Knicks players for bullying, who told the Hawks' defense that the defense was always four people in the high position? And their footsteps move so fast, the Knicks players can't make more passes than a few times, and they can't find too good opportunities to shoot in a hurry, so they can't shoot against the defense, right?

Besides, since the Hawks use this kind of aggressive defense against the Knicks, the latter can of course use countermeasures to consume the opponent's physical strength, even if the scoring speed slows down in the third quarter, but the Hawks are under such a high-intensity defense, and it is no wonder that no one cramps in the fourth quarter.

The third quarter of the game was spent in the two teams running non-stop and moving the ball non-stop, compared to the Knicks' mercury-like offense in the first half, the offense of both teams in the third quarter was a little ugly, without passion and excitement, and the scoring statistics also dropped.

The score was 91:74, and the Hawks stubbornly narrowed the gap to 27 points, the Knicks were not too accustomed to this rhythm of the game, D'Antoni felt as if he had been fooled at this time, they played so slowly, the players' hands were almost worn out, which may be the real purpose of the Hawks.

But Larry Drew's calculations didn't play well, and the Hawks players also spent too much energy on the defensive end, and as a result, they didn't show much shape on the offensive end, and they only won by 3 points in the third quarter, and could only enter the fourth quarter with a 27-point deficit, and the situation was still very bad for Atlantans.

D'Antoni stopped letting the team move the ball wide in the fourth quarter, which is not the way they are good at playing, and with so much lead today, the Knicks relied on a very unreasonable offense.

The Hawks consumed a lot of physical strength in the third quarter, and no matter how they played in the fourth quarter, the Knicks' victory was already stable, but he and Wu Huang had the same thoughts, this game must not be easily stopped, and the Knicks had to attack the enemy in the last quarter, striving to fight a massacre!

The Knicks' bench lineup once again stretched the difference to 30 points at the beginning of the final quarter, and at 8 minutes and 16 seconds in the fourth quarter, Wu Huang and Iguodala were replaced, and the Knicks seemed to be unwilling to give up.

Larry Drew didn't plan to change the main force again, his strategy didn't work out in the third quarter, and he did think of a way to slow down the Knicks themselves, but they didn't take the opportunity to close the score gap, and the game in the fourth quarter was meaningless for the Hawks.

"What do they want to do?" But Larry Drew never expected that the Knicks would replace most of the main team when the victory was decided, which is very rare.

Wu Huang has scored 36 points today, and his score in the third quarter was affected by the team's offensive rhythm, and New York fans thought he would have a chance to score 50+, but now it seems that there is little hope.

"Not necessarily!" As soon as Wu Huang came up, he shot a shot outside the three-point line, and the basketball drew a wonderful arc and rushed into the net!

He didn't feel that his team had been fooled, and although he was chased back by 4 points in the third quarter, the price paid by the Hawks was "physical strength", which would make them no longer have the strength to defend in the fourth quarter, and this was a great opportunity for him to continue to score points.

Jeff Teague's mood at the moment can no longer be described in words, he thought that he would not meet Wu Huang again in garbage time, but the fact is the opposite, Larry Drew originally wanted him to find his form in the final quarter, if he can score some points, he may be able to regain some self-confidence, but he never expected Wu Huang to play again, and as soon as he came up, he threw an unreasonable three-point shot in his head.

"You forced me!" As the so-called dog is in a hurry to bite people, people are in a hurry and can do anything, Teague is in the ashes, and finally has evil thoughts in his heart, and wants to find an opportunity to give Emperor Wu a taste of ruthlessness!

Two minutes later, however, there was no need to describe the whole process, and Wu Huang was looking at the referee with an innocent expression, and at his feet lay a pained Jeff Teague, who was clutching his chin, in pain but not daring to roll, because he suspected that his jaw had been knocked off.

The referee immediately showed a technical foul to Wu Huang, he had an obvious elbow action when he attacked just now, and he didn't give him a malicious foul for the sake of Jeff Teague's also malicious elbow raising, these two people are both fouls logically, but Jeff Teague's end was a little miserable, and the Hawks fell behind by a big score at this time, so the referee had such a penalty.

Wu Huang raised his hand and made an innocent gesture, but did not chatter with the referee anymore, the New York fans at the scene were entertaining him with hero-like cheers, "MVP" and "MVP" shouts came and went, the entire Madison Garden Arena is Wu Huang's avatar and signage, elbow opponents can enjoy this treatment, it is estimated that the entire league except Kobe Bryant is Wu Huang.
