Chapter 220: It's all to blame for the opponent's incompetence
Wu Huang's performance in the first quarter made him popular in the United States again, and the fly in the ointment is that the three-point hand is not very good, otherwise he may have scored 20+ high points in a single quarter.
The other players of the Knicks also performed remarkably, Gallinari followed Wu Huang's ass and scored 7 points, David Lee finally went down to Horford head-on, cutting 4 points and 4 rebounds, Frye hit two three-pointers in a single quarter, and also scored 6 points, and even Danny Green, who came off the bench, had a three-point shot, and the Knicks can be said to be blooming across the board.
Iguodala was the most selfless, scoring just two points but contributing a team-high five assists, and the low-key titan seems to have found the perfect role for him since coming to the Knicks, and he really doesn't care much about scoring anyway.
The Hawks' data sheet is bleak, Joe Johnson and Josh Smith had some contradictions on the court in the first quarter, which affected both of their plays, one only shot 1 of 4, the other shot 0 of 3, the new Hawks only scored 4 points combined, this report card can score 1 point, not giving 0 points is afraid that they are proud.
Larry Drew brought on the aging Spiedie Claxton in the second quarter, but only played two minutes before he had to be replaced with Joe Johnson early to continue with Crawford as the backcourt combination.
The 32-year-old Spedy was hit with against Dujon, who scored four points on two consecutive breakaways, and then drew another foul on Spedy and scored six straight points on both free throws. Just imagine, even Du Hong can play an all-star level against Spedy, and you can imagine what will happen if he is replaced by Wu Huang and his counterpoint.
Larry Drew is no longer ready to play for Spedy, and the old guy is no longer fit to play at an NBA level.
Wu Huang shouted loudly for Du Hong's goal off the field, looking at his dancing appearance, many fans thought that Du Hong's initiative to attack was ordered by him, but in fact, this was completely D'Antoni's arrangement. The mustache had already decided to make a fuss about the Hawks' two point guards, and the effect was very significant.
As soon as Joe Johnson came on the court, the Knicks immediately replaced Iguodala as well.
In this series, D'Antoni is ready to have the two on the court all the time, which is also a scene that fans like to see, and the big man of the two defenders is completely pure power. The intensity of the event is very much in line with the appetite of American fans.
One thing about the domestic sports media is very unprofessional, they often hang the weight of the player in his rookie period behind the player's data, and it will not change for 10,000 years. So we know that Kobe Bryant will always be 205 pounds, Iguodala will always be 207 pounds, and everyone is not blind, everyone can see that these two are far more than 200 pounds, are those muscles inflated?
But this cannot be blamed entirely on the inaccurate information given by the domestic media, because the weight of the players changes every season. Sometimes they gain or lose weight due to the team's staffing or their role changes, for example, Kobe Bryant gained 230 pounds in the 04-05 season, but he lost back to a weight of more than 210 pounds after just one season, so unless it is an extremely numbers-sensitive sports media such as ESPN, the general media cannot know the exact weight of a player at a given time.
Iguodala has been gaining weight in recent seasons as he has to fight against James, who weighs more than 260 pounds, and Wade, Joe Johnson, Pierce, Granger, and other star swingmen who weigh between 230 and 240 pounds. This requires him to weigh more than 230 pounds, otherwise it will be really difficult to resist his opponents if the weight difference is too far. The 207-pound weight recorded by the domestic media is naturally impossible. This weight would allow the first brother to be easily bounced aside by Joe Johnson.
Joe Johnson's weight is slightly higher than Iguodala's, but the strength of the two is not much different, Iguodala has a bit of an advantage in footwork, which is the advantage of his ability to defend the second and third positions, generally the players who are taller and stronger than him are not as fast as him, and those who are faster than him are not as tall and strong as him.
Wu Huang played seven minutes into the second quarter. Because his teammates are playing well, Joe Johnson has a hard time scoring points against Iguodala's defense, and Horford didn't take advantage of David Lee today, he has won all three games, and it is time for David Lee to win once.
Originally, the Hawks still had Josh Smith to step up. But the new Hawks' little emotions came up, after the skirmish with Johnson, although the two apologized to each other at the end of the first quarter, Josh drilled the tip of the bull's horns on the long-range shooting, but he didn't hit several long-range shots, and then he couldn't hit the inside, and even the breakthrough was made by Frye An offensive foul, and the state completely fell to the bottom.
Josh and the Hawks players are blinded in this situation, even if the players have been forcing themselves to calm down, maybe they can really calm down, but they just can't score goals, and at the same time, they can't defend against the opponent's attack at all. On the other hand, how to play on the opponent's side, but on his side, he can't play, and he wants to delete the game in a depressed way, which refers to this situation.
Usually at this time, the most feared thing is for someone to complain about their teammates, because all the players' brains are congested at this time, and as long as someone complains, it can ignite someone's powder keg. In general, "infighting" is caused in such a fiasco of the game. Sometimes, a game can break up a team, which is by no means a joke, because some players have a more cautious personality, that is, they like to hold grudges, and once they fall out, it is difficult to untie the knot, and if both of them have such personalities, it will be even more difficult to clean up.
Wu Huang's hand felt a little lower in the second quarter, but he still relied on the breakthrough to make a lot of free throws, and then he began to focus on creating scoring opportunities for his teammates.
At halftime, the score was 72:42, and the Knicks once again led the Hawks by 30 points at halftime, and there seemed to be little suspense in this game.
Wu Huang shot 7-of-14 in the first half, 1-of-5 three-pointers, 8-of-10 free throws, and scored 24 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals in the halftime. This data is still very eye-catching, especially the steal data was specially marked with a red mark in the live broadcast, Wu Huang played his steal king style in the face of Alausi, and broke his playoff single-game steal record in halftime, although he only played three playoff games in total.
The New York Emperor is this year's "steal king," but he has only six steals in a single game in the regular season. This is not a very high statistic, he can get the honor of steal king, with his stable performance, Wu Huang can contribute two or three steals in every game, and today he got such a rare opportunity to abuse vegetables, he has the opportunity to break his career steal record.
Intermission. Larry Drew also gave an exciting speech for the whole team in the away locker room, but this chicken soup for the soul was useless, and the Hawks players were beaten with blue noses and swollen faces at the moment, how could they still be in the mood to drink soup, and it was almost the same to have whiskey.
For Atlantans to climb out of such a desperate situation, they must have a real superstar who leads the way at the start of the second half, such as scoring seven or eight points in a row, followed by a steal or block, and narrowing the margin to within 20 points in one fell swoop. Force the opponent to ask for a timeout, so that the morale rises.
At this time, the hero used his performance to put on an exciting speech to motivate the whole team, and perhaps there was a glimmer of hope for a Jedi comeback.
But this kind of movie-like bloody plot will basically not appear in reality, and the odds are not much different from winning the lottery, especially since the Knicks have a core like Wu Huang in their team, and the Hawks want to recover 30 points from them. It sounds a bit fanciful.
Wu Huang assisted David Lee to hit a shot in the third quarter, and then blocked Asilao's nearly miss. The Hawks' first offense in the second half was defended by the Knicks for 24 seconds, and the opportunity for a counterattack did not appear at all, and it would be good not to be pressed to the ground by the Knicks
Joe Johnson was a little too scared to shoot today, and in the final three seconds of offensive time, he dropped the pot to Horford, who nearly let David Lee take the ball under the basket.
Horford was secretly scolding his mother in his heart. This kind of pass is specially designed to pit teammates, where does he dare to shoot, he would rather be defended by the Knicks for 24 seconds at a time, and he will not force his shot to be impersonated by David Lee, so that he will face David Lee again in the future. I'm afraid I don't have as much of a psychological advantage as the previous games.
Joe Johnson's outrageously low shooting percentage in these two games, less than 30% of the shooting rate made Atlanta fans and himself feel anxious, so that there was no good opportunity, he began to stop shooting, just worried that the shooting percentage would fall further, then it would really be deleted from the game.
Fans in front of the TV may think that Joe Johnson is a brain-dead, and they will think that the Hawks players are playing too idiots today, obviously having a chance to shoot, but hesitating to shoot, can they still play in the NBA at this level?
But how can the pressure on the players standing on the pitch and the fans sitting in front of the TV at this time be the same? In this kind of national live playoff competition, the pressure that players need to bear when they don't play well is too great. Just think about it, at least 40 or 50 million people around the world are witnessing your incessant ironing, how can this pressure be beared?
"Man, there are at least hundreds of millions of people watching you make a fool of yourself right now, you have to be careful." Emperor Wu said without blinking at Axilao, obviously the number of seventy or eighty million was exaggerated to hundreds of millions in his mouth, and the bluffing opponent was stunned.
Since the second quarter, he has been whispering this sentence in the ears of the Hawks players, he knows very well the terrible pressure, although he is very resilient to pressure, but in the first game of the Talanta fiasco, his head is a little cloudy, let alone the current Hawks players.
Wu Huang's words are more effective than anything else, Axilao thought more for a while, and the panic was not enough to describe his mood, this guy was already a little trembling, and the original general ball sense was under unprecedented pressure, and the deformation of his movements was already very serious.
"Good chance!" Emperor Wu was in a state of full state at the moment, and his reaction speed had almost reached the limit of human beings, and he copied the basketball in Asilao's hand into his own hand.
That's right, he didn't knock the ball off this time, but snatched the ball directly from the opponent's hand!
This kind of violent footage makes New York fans a little overwhelmed, and it really looks like a confrontation between the NBA and the CBA.
Asilao didn't even react, Wu Huang had already broken the ball to complete the counterattack, and easily made a layup to score two points.
Everyone in the Hawks just looked back at Wu Huang to launch a counterattack and score the ball this round, but no one thought about defending it.
Larry Drew sat back on the bench and propped his cheeks with his hands, looking helpless and dazed...... He's completely out of options, because his players have given up on resistance, and what can he do.
Charles Barkley also felt that there was nothing to say about this game. So he changed the subject: "Hugo's reaction speed is very fast, and he may have reacted more than 0.15 seconds on this pass. He then explained, "Athletes know that the reaction time of a normal person refers to the time from receiving the command to making the action, and the reaction time of a normal person is 0.15 seconds to 0.4 seconds. But it is said that one of Hugo's rumored girlfriends. That is, Sister Panda, whose reaction time is an astonishing 0.11 seconds, which is why she is so successful in shooters. In addition, according to the physiological and psychological state of people, the reaction time of normal people is about 0.3 seconds, and it may decline a little when they are older, and 17 or 8-year-old boys are the fastest to react. β
Kenny Smith also said, "In some difficult games, the designers of the program will set the reaction time reserved for the player to 0.3 seconds or 0.4 seconds when the boss casts the skill, such as some bosses in World of Warcraft, which can often kill many players in seconds when they release their skills. These players just don't make the right moves within the reaction time. β
"Reaction time can be improved through acquired training, for example, playing table tennis is a sport that can train reactions, even if your reaction time is only 0.4 seconds, but through one to two years of table tennis training, you can also improve your reaction to 0.3 seconds or even higher."
Emma Roberts showed that her reaction speed was indeed very fast, as soon as Wu Huang broke the ball on the court, she stood up at the same time to cheer for him, and Taylor Swift on the side was still stupid and did not react at this time. It was a full half second before she made a surprised look at the steal, and the reaction time was not usually slow.
Wu Huang once measured his reaction speed. I tested it with Emma Roberts in my own company, using a special instrument instead of the unreliable method of clicking the mouse on the Internet.
Emma Roberts took five tests in a row, and her reaction speed was between 0.11 seconds and 0.13 seconds.
As for Wu Huang, he measured it five times at that time, all of which were between 0.13 seconds and 0.15 seconds, which was already a very rare reaction speed. Most CS pro gamers can't achieve this kind of reaction speed, especially a person of his height, and it is rare for him to have a reaction time of less than 0.2 seconds, so he feels that he is faster than all players.
In the third quarter, Wu Huang's eyes were fixed on the basketball in the hands of the Hawks players. The Eagles players on the field were all stared at by him, and they were afraid of being stolen by him again.
But the more cautious he is, the more likely he is to deviate from the pass, Joe Johnson held the basketball in the middle of the third quarter and made several passing feints in a row, but there were still some deviations in the strength of the passing basketball, and Wu Huang, who had been waiting for an opportunity, intercepted it again with his long arm, and scored two points on a counterattack after another break.
This is Wu Huang's 6th point in this quarter, 4 points are obtained through counterattacks after steals, counting this time, he has already scored 6 steals, equaling his career record for the highest steal.
The Knicks' lead is still above 30 points, Wu Huang has not given up increasing his steal statistics, if this game continues to play like this, he will definitely not play in the fourth quarter, so he must take advantage of the time he is still on the court to brush up more data.
New York fans soon discovered that Wu Huang, who had been silent for a while, began to break out again!
At 5 minutes and 25 seconds in the third quarter, Wu Huang forcibly hit a three-point shot on Crawford's head, which was the most unreasonable shot he made today, but he didn't expect to score.
"I see, it turns out that the fight is too reasonable!" After Wu Huang scored this goal, he finally understood why he always couldn't shoot from a distance today, it turned out that he paid too much attention to reasonable shots, and it seemed that he still had the most power in a few blind shots.
Crawford wanted to scold his mother, when Asilao was there just now, Wu Huang had been passing the ball to his teammates, why did he wait until he came up, this guy started to play like this? Could it be that he was deliberately slapping him in the face?
The Hawks' convulsive man can't bear it, he has been defended by Wu Huang and Iguodala in these games, even when they win, he is the only player criticized by the Atlanta media, and now the team has suffered consecutive heavy defeats, and the Atlanta media doesn't know how to complain about him after the game, which makes him how to get a big contract with the team next season?
Wu Huang was soon returned an ultra-long-distance three-point point by Crawford on his head, and he languished for three games in a row, and the resentment accumulated in the heart of the man with convulsions was much stronger than that of Wu Huang, and according to a large number of scientific bases summarized by the "character theory", Crawford played three iron games in a row, how could it be time to eat a meal of dumplings, just like David Lee of the Knicks, he couldn't be abused by others every day, right?
New York fans are starting to get excited as they see the long-lost three-point vs. Biao battle!
Wu Huang and Crawford don't know when they started, you still have one and I will return one, and they are all long-distance shots more than one meter away from the three-point line, the two were on fire outside the three-point line for a while, and they actually teamed up to throw 9 three-pointers in three minutes, although they only scored four in total, but this scene is enough to arouse the adrenaline of fans.
"What kind of pair is this, this is a naked brush!" The players of both teams secretly felt pain in their hearts, these two people looked full of gunpowder, but on closer inspection, there was no defense at all, as if they were comparing who was shooting more accurately from a long distance.
Larry Drew had a glimmer of hope, and he felt that this kind of play might not be without a chance, Crawford was once considered one of the best players in the league to shoot this kind of ultra-long-range three-point shooting, and if he was blinded by a few, he might be able to help the team close the difference.
But soon, he realized that he was too naΓ―ve in his thinking! Wu Huang is the latest three-point contest champion, and this three-point game is what he does best, and Crawford not only did not take advantage, but also suffered.
In the last five minutes of the third quarter, Crawford made a total of seven three-pointers, scoring three of them; Wu Huang made a total of 6 three-pointers, and also scored 3 of them. But this is very unseemly, his seventh three-pointer actually fooled Crawford and chose to break through, the entire Hawks didn't expect Wu Huang to be so unsophisticated, and he actually cheated when he was leading by a big score!
"Silly fork, Lao Tzu scored 15 points in this quarter, plus 24 points in the first half, as long as he scores 1 more point, it will be 40 points, at this time, of course, he will get 40+ first, who cares about your bullshit chivalry!" Wu Huang was very proud, "If it weren't for the 40+, who would have the leisure to play games with you?" β
This tricked all the opponents' layups, and finally allowed Wu Huang to score the 41st point with 40 seconds left in the third quarter, and he scored another 17 points in this quarter, and the offensive firepower was terrifying, and the New York fans at the scene were shouting "stay on the court", they wanted to see Wu Huang continue to play in the fourth quarter and brush a 50+ out.
He had a chance to do it yesterday and still have a chance today, but he had to stay on the court in the fourth quarter.
Wu Huang shook his head gently, it's not that he doesn't want to stay on the court, it's just that the score has come to 102:70, and his goal has widened the difference between the two teams to 32 points, how can the Eagles catch up with 32 points in one quarter? So he definitely won't play in the fourth quarter, although he himself regrets it, but this can only be blamed on the Hawks for not doing their best, if they can narrow the gap to less than 20 points, then he can really get 50+ today.
In the end, Wu Huang still didn't get a chance to play in the fourth quarter, and D'Antoni removed all the main forces in the fourth quarter, leaving no one, and obviously began to prepare for the fifth battle of Tianwang Mountain.
The final score was 131-98, and the Knicks beat the Hawks by 33 points again in their second home court.
Although the game was won, the mustache knew very well that the fifth game was the key to this round of the playoffs, and whoever won the battle of Tianwang Mountain would have an eighty percent chance of eliminating the opponent!
Now the overall score is only 2:2, both teams are playing very strongly at home, so maybe the Hawks will return to Atlanta and abuse them again, and the Knicks' habit of away bugs may also overturn again in Atlanta, in short, their situation is not very good, heaven and hell are still only one step away.
Wu Huang's personal data stayed at 41 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists and 7 steals, no matter what the result of the next game is, at least he completed his three consecutive 40+ milestones today, and at the same time broke his career and regular season single-game steal record, which is another double happy victory! (To be continued.) )
