Josh Smith's performance is not over yet, the Knicks quickly serve and want to grab one, Wu Huang quickly attacked to the front court and wanted to grab three points, but he didn't expect Josh Smith to rush back so quickly, he flew from the air like an eagle hunting, Wu Huang could only pass the ball to his teammates, but Joe Johnson snatched the ball from the middle, and the Hawks made another quick counterattack to expand the point difference again.

The Knicks had already lost their temper at this time, and they did not withstand the stalemate at the critical moment. Two minutes later, not only did the Knicks not narrow the score, but after Joe Johnson assisted his teammate to score again, the score became 114-103, and the Knicks were gone.

Wu Huang still did not give up, in the last two minutes he grabbed three points and hit two three-pointers, although the Hawks players were startled, but the most critical third 3-point he finally missed, and the Knicks finally suffered another defeat at 111:116, and the overall score has become 0:2.

Kenny Smith commented after the game: "In this game, Josh Smith's performance was too eye-catching, he was very good at ensuring rebounds on the defensive end, and was able to give big hats to opponents, and he was proficient in scoring and assists on the offensive end, and he almost single-handedly broke the entire Knicks team." ”

Charles Barkley also said: "If you've been watching Josh Smith all season, you'll even be amazed at how far he's progressed this season. Last season, Josh Smith averaged 15.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.6 blocks per game. But this season, his stats have soared to 15.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.6 steals and 2.1 blocks per game, and all five stats have been improved to varying degrees, which has seen Josh Smith's efforts. ”

"I remember at the beginning of the regular season this season, Josh vowed to play at an All-Star level this season. But at that time, not many people were interested in his remarks, and some fans even thought it was just his whim, but after the start of the regular season, Josh conquered everyone with his excellent performance. ”

In addition to Josh, Joe Johnson also deserves praise from Atlanta fans after the game, especially as he repeatedly played the key role of the Hawks. His 28 points and seven assists were team-high today. ”

Phillips Arena has become a time for the home fans to celebrate, and the winning Larry Drew was in a high-spirited interview on the sidelines: "We did better than we did in the regular season, I demanded more from my players, and we defended a lot better, just like we did today. ”

Wu Huang kept spewing dirty words in his heart at the moment, but he had to go up one by one to comfort his teammates, especially a few guys who did not perform well in the game, and now he really became a true portrayal of "the baby is bitter, but the baby doesn't say". But since he wants to be the boss of the team. At this time, it is necessary to knock out the teeth and swallow them in the stomach, otherwise this leader deserves to fail.

At the post-game press conference, head coach D'Antoni took out Wu Huang's personal data in an attempt to restore everyone's confidence in order to cheer up the players: "I think at this time, everyone will only remember the winner's data, and no one will find that Hugo cut an even more amazing data sheet, he got a big triple-double performance of 40 points, 12 rebounds, 12 assists, 3 steals and 1 block in this game, shooting 10 of 19 shots." He made 4 of 7 three-pointers and 16 of 18 free throws. ”

Emperor Wu heard this. He was even more depressed, he really thought that the Knicks could win this game today, but they made some mistakes that they shouldn't have made at critical moments, and he didn't take advantage of a few opportunities. But no matter how frustrating he is, he can't show it on his face, he can only force himself and his teammates to cheer him up: "I know the situation is not good. But why can't we think we can complete the reversal? Why can't we shake the whole world? 0:2 is a bad situation, but there are many teams in history who have come back after 0:2, so nothing is impossible, and since they can beat us 2:0, we will definitely be able to play back. Back at home we have a chance to do so. ”

Reporters certainly think he's a dead duck, and youth is the biggest characteristic of the Knicks who are back in the playoffs, and the average age of the team's starters is only 22 years old, while the Hawks are the 25 years old when the players are the most capable of results. But that said, when it comes to playoff experience, the two sides can't talk about it.

Iguodala is the Knicks' most experienced player in the playoffs, but has only played in the playoffs twice, one of which was in a playoff role. On the other hand, the Eagles' starting five have all played in the playoff divisional semifinals, which will give them an advantage in crunch time.

The Knicks didn't hold on in Game 2 in the final quarter, which was caused by their lack of playoff experience. At this time of the game, many Knicks players didn't know what to do to make the right choice at that time, but the Hawks players made a much clearer decision, and they knew exactly what they should do at such a critical point.

Being young and fearless will make Knicks players more and more open on the court, but in the playoffs, the competition is not who is more open, but who makes fewer mistakes, and young players often have an easy attitude after making mistakes, which the Hawks have an absolute advantage.

The next day, Yahoo Sports reported that the Knicks and Hawks were playing 2-0, and the New York recruits swallowed duck eggs in Atlanta, and they are now less than 10% away from advancing (in NBA history, the probability of a 2-0 comeback is less than 10%).

The Hawks' Big Three was on full display yesterday, with a key figure stepping up to help the team in every quarter, and the Knicks were the only star Hugo. But even if he can get a big triple-double of 40 points in the game, it won't help the team close the huge gap between the two teams.

The New York center was limited again last night, this season can average 15+9 per game, and can only average 9 points and 8 rebounds per game against the Hawks, his role has been greatly limited, facing Horford, who can play against Garnett and Howard, David Lee's performance in the playoffs is hard to believe that he is a star who can get an annual salary of tens of millions.

Another gap is the Knicks' standout bench performance in the regular season when it comes to bench scoring. When it comes to the playoffs, they don't seem to have the bench depth that they can really get their hands on, although this is not how good the Hawks are, but the bench lineup is one of the Knicks' strengths, and if they don't have this advantage, their probability of advancing will be reduced a lot.

The results of these two games also prove it. The only one who can really cause problems for the Hawks is rookie Hugo, and maybe Iguodala can also pose some threat to the Hawks, but his most important task is to defend Joe Johnson, a task he has not done well, and Joe Johnson has scored more than 20+ points in both games.

Now the New York Emperor and Knicks fans are expecting their team to bounce back strongly at home, perhaps they should expect the Hawks who lost Bibby to be in big trouble because of this, and Hugo must ensure that he can get 40+ in every game, so that the Knicks may still have a chance, otherwise he may not be able to change the fate of the team being swept.

Naturally, the New York Times has set its sights on the only personal data that can be shown. Maybe many fans don't have a very clear concept of the data of 40 points, 12 rebounds, 12 assists and 3 steals, so you can see how great Wu Huang's feat is from the comparison of historical data.

In the history of the Knicks' playoffs, no one has been able to reach such terrifying statistics as 40+12+12+3 in points, rebounds, and assists, not even Bernard King and Gorilla Ewing who were in the limelight back then.

Throughout the history of the Knicks playoffs, there is only one person who can get 20+8+10 data in a single game, and this is Mark Jackson, with such a magical performance as Hugo, the Knicks have not gone far in the playoffs.

The New York fans also did not lose confidence because they were 2-0 down. While such a start has been extremely unfavorable for them, the Eagles have not been without trouble. Their biggest problem is that the team's starting point guard has been confirmed for the season, and after the game, the diagnosis of the local hospital in Atlanta came out, and Bibby suffered a severe sprained left ankle and will have to recuperate for at least three to four months.

This couldn't be better news for the Knicks, who already had an advantage at the No. 1 spot, and now that advantage is about to go to the sky. Perhaps Yahoo Sports' mocking premise that "if the Knicks want to win, Wu Huang must score 40 points per game" can really become a reality, and Wu Huang is fully capable of doing this in the face of Jeff Teague and Crawford.

The Knicks rushed back to New York early the next morning after losing to the Hawks, and they were given nearly two days of rest. It's an opportunity for both the players and the coaching staff to make adjustments.

As soon as the player got off the plane, Wu Huang found that hundreds of New York fans came to greet him, which made him breathe a sigh of relief, originally he thought that the two consecutive defeats would disappoint the New York fans, but now it seems that the psychological tolerance of the New York fans is much better than he expected.

This is actually nonsense, how good is the mental capacity of New York fans, they have long been trained by the rotten team, even if the Knicks are really swept, it is estimated that they will not be unable to think about it. Just imagine, the team has been rotten for so many years, and now that the team has made the playoffs in the first season of rebuilding, does it really have to reach the second round to be considered successful?

Knicks players watched hundreds of loyal New York fans hold up their slogans and chant at the entrance: "Beat the Hawks!" Defeat the Eagles! They really need that kind of encouragement and support right now, and that's their biggest goal in the playoffs, and with the first round hitting a one-year-old Hawks that have completely rebuilt and matured, the Knicks players will have to muster up the courage to fight for it.

In a brief interview with the New York Times at the entrance, Wu Huang said, "I just want to say, come on! Brothers! It's all up to us, people say the Eagles are stronger than us, but I believe we can win! If you are afraid, then go and lead a dog, and pray, since God has given us such a gift, it is sure that we will be asked to do something, and we must make good use of it! ”

The Knicks players only slept three or four hours last night, and now they have to go home to catch up on the sleep, except for Wu Huang, who slept on the plane for another two hours, and when he got off the plane, he was already sleepy, so he went straight to Taylor Swift's apartment, pulled out his 28 and vented.

He had been in Taylor Swift's apartment until the afternoon, and the trouble of physical recovery made him can't help but sneak into another girl's house, and it was another 300-round battle before leaving to report to the team.

The Knicks didn't practice with the ball today, and the players watched yesterday's game footage, and they had to use the video to analyze and find the problems that the team encountered in Game 2.

In fact, this work has been carried out by the coaching staff first, and the Knicks' coaches have basically only rested for three or four hours a day since the playoffs officially started, and they are all bloodshot in their eyes.

But hard work is hard work, D'Antoni really doesn't have a good way to beat the Eagles now, because there are some things that he can't control as a coach, and players can't learn by teaching both sides, he can't personally tell players how to play at every key point of the game, these have to go through the lessons of failure to learn, and this learning period is the most difficult process.

In addition to being good at small-ball tactics and adjusting point guards, Mustache is also good at motivating the whole team and bringing out the abilities of each player who fits his tactical system. In his eyes, David Lee should be a player who can play against Horford, and now the biggest problem for the Knicks is that they can't defend Josh Smith and Horford, he doesn't require that all two problems be solved, as long as he can solve one casually, or even just let David Lee play his threat on the offensive end in the game, the Knicks will perform much better than the first two games.

As the so-called house leak happened to rain overnight, after the whole Knicks team watched the game video, the gossip media broke a hot news that night: David Lee seems to have broken up with his Polish girlfriend, or was he dumped?

Of course, that's not the point of the report, who cares what happened to David Lee and his girlfriend.

What attracts people's attention in this revelation is that this matter seems to have something to do with Emperor Wu!!

The gossip magazine revealed that it was Sabina Gardch's girlfriend who provided the revelations that David Lee's girlfriend seems to have a leg with the New York Emperor, and this is the real reason why David Lee did not perform well in the playoffs.

"Damn, isn't this ruining me?" Wu Huang received countless phone calls that night, and when the whole team was watching the video together, everyone turned off their mobile phones, and when he went home and turned on his mobile phone, he found that Taylor Swift was about to blow up his phone!

Wu Huang really felt that he had been wronged this time, although the Polish girl really seduced him, but he struggled for a long time, and he still didn't dare to cause this kind of trouble. He's not stupid, this kind of thing is going to be exposed, it's really a lifetime of fame. Seducing a teammate's girlfriend is much more serious than stepping on a few boats. (To be continued.) )
