Chapter 156: Why Do You Play Basketball?
Wu Huang's personal data rose to 24 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists in a blink of an eye, and the Knicks didn't plan to break the Heat's defense by breaking through, but Wu Huang still used his talent to complete the task.
"Madison Square Garden" has already fallen into a sea of joy, although they are still nine points behind in the score, but they have suppressed the Heat in morale. If Stellspola doesn't call a timeout, they have full confidence that their team can play 10-0...... Even 15:0...... The attack wave of 20:0 overtook the score in one fell swoop.
Sterspola suspended this time to mainly arrange the bag clamp on Wu Huang, even Jordan and Kobe Bryant can be limited by multiple packs, and Wu Huang can't play three at a time no matter how against the sky.
Filipinos don't use the strategy of letting Wu Huang score and then guarding against others, although this is also a good idea.
But in the past two years, his home country and Wu Huang's home country are in trouble, and Sterspola doesn't want Wu Huang to perform too well in his heart, and today he has also put a lot of effort into Wu Huang's defense.
After the timeout, Wade singled Iguodala near the free throw line, only to see him take the ball with his back, first hit it twice with his body, followed by the right swing, and then left again, and then suddenly turned around and hit a backward shot, quite Olajuwon's "dream foot" style.
Wade's previous silent walk away under Wu Huang's wonderful goal does not mean that he is silent, and it does not mean that he does not want to fight back.
This back-to-back offense is an offensive skill that Wade only honed last summer, and the Flashes didn't have much low-post back-to-back ability in the past, but with two major injuries. Wade's athleticism has begun to decline from its peak. At this time, there is no longer the ability to carry back, and it is easy to be limited by a top wing gate like Iguodala. So he had to develop the ability to carry his back.
Wu Huang attacked with the ball, and as soon as he passed the halfcourt, he found that the Heat began to use double follow-up defense to limit his breakthrough, and there would be a third person to help him defend when he forced the breakthrough, this layered defense made it difficult for him to use his personal ability to score points, and Wu Huang could only transfer the basketball away before being besieged.
Iguodala received the basketball and broke through to the interior again, this time the Heat's defense didn't have time to rearrange, and Iguodala used his ability to fight to the basket. The strong shot caused O'Neal Jr., who had just come on the court, for his fourth foul.
Emperor Wu stepped forward and slapped Iguodala's chest, and at this time he needed Iguodala to stand up and help.
"Well done, we've won!" Wu Huang deliberately said loudly next to the Heat player.
He hadn't rested for a minute in this game, and now he was starting to feel tired again, and D'Antoni should go down to Wu Huang to rest for three or four minutes at this time, so that he could no longer worry about physical problems in the fourth quarter.
A break of three or four minutes is far from enough for the other players, but for Wu Huang's recovery ability, three or four minutes is completely enough. It's just that D'Antoni doesn't dare to easily replace Emperor Wu now, but if Iguodala and Harrington and others can step up and score, they can buy valuable rest time for Emperor Wu.
Next. Although Wade made a strong layup to make it 2+1, Gallinari hit a three-pointer and Iguodala wiped the board for a layup to lead the Knicks to narrow the gap again.
Once Emperor Wu played. Sure enough, it led the whole team's offense, and this is the role of the core of the team.
In the last 55 seconds of the third quarter, D'Antoni finally replaced Wu Huang, who had played almost the first three quarters, and the New York fans cheered and applauded their prince!
Wu Huang's stats when he left the court have become 24 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, which is a super all-round statistic, and his performance today is not inferior to Wade.
The Knicks didn't have a clear core after Wu Huang went off the court, and that's when they began to adopt a strategy of winning in chaos, which is also their area of expertise.
New York's bench has always been very competitive, and they took advantage of this opportunity to once again take the initiative in the game. However, Wade has been on the court, and the difference between the two sides has always remained above 8 points, and until the last 16.5 seconds of the third quarter, Wade performed a little used in this season, and passed two people in a row to break through and score layups, helping the Heat lead the Knicks by 10 points. But unexpectedly, Harrington's left-wing buzzer-tossing shot was still in color, and the Knicks trailed by eight points at 77:85 to enter the fourth quarter.
After the end of the first three quarters, the live big screen and live TV broadcast were playing the wonderful footage of Wu Huang and Wade's game, especially Wu Huang's rare crotch piercing + turning and breaking through + shaking Beasley's goal became the most replayed shot, and commentators from all over the world praised Wu Huang's goal for being fully qualified to enter the NBA's "TOP100".
Charles Barkley also used an exaggerated metaphor to describe Wu Huang: "He is the 6-foot-4 wonder king, Hugo from Walnut High School and USC, he doesn't have a proper nickname yet, but he can give you everything you can ask for in a guard - an absolutely fast and creative guard, an incredible breakout player and passer, a stealer and blocker on defense, a marksman who can shoot from any spot, He can save his team with ease. ”
Kenny Smith said to himself that you ran out of compliments, and I still have an egg? At the moment, we can only comment from the team level: "The Heat still have an 8-point lead, but they must prevent the Knicks' offense, the Knicks were the top five scoring teams in the league even last season, as long as the offense is smooth, they can score a lot of points quickly, and if they are not careful, they are easy to be driven by their pace to attack and run, the best way is to keep their calm pace, play the ball their own way, reduce their quick counterattack, and finally find an open space to score." ”
If the Heat do do what Kenny Smith says, they're dead!
Once the Knicks start the offensive mode this season, it will never be able to block it step by step, and they must think of some more direct and effective methods. But this requires a higher level of execution and team effectiveness, and the top teams in the league may be able to do it, but the Heat are still a little short of the top teams, and they obviously don't have a good plan to deal with the crazy Knicks.
In the fourth quarter, the Knicks sent a rotational lineup of Duhon, Hughes, Harrington, Jeffries, and Fry.
The Heat also finally replaced Wade, who played the first three quarters, and replaced the rotation lineup of Arroyo, Daquane Cook, Dorrell White, Joel Anthony, and Jermaine O'Neal.
New York's lineup is an out-and-out attacker, with both interior players being projection players who are good at shooting from the outside.
On the Heat's side, it's the opposite, O'Neal Jr. is their attacking arrow during this time, and Straspola wants to focus on the interior during this time and increase the scoring efficiency on the offensive end.
Taking advantage of the high morale, the Knicks strictly followed D'Antoni's 10-second offensive routine on the offensive end, which focuses more on output on the offensive end than on quality.
The Heat are the opposite, they have to guide the basketball many times on every offense, wait until O'Neal Jr. grabs a good position on the inside, and then hand the basketball to him, playing the traditional inside-out, using the center's baseline to contain it, plus the outside off-ball players create shooting opportunities through movement, focusing on efficiency rather than production.
Whenever this clash of traditional tactics and new styles of play, D'Antoni gets excited like a doping addict because he wants to prove his philosophy right.
Every time the mustache loses to a team with a traditional style of play like the Spurs, the kind of hysterical unwillingness in the locker room after the game will make Wu Huang have a kind of respect from the bottom of his heart. Regardless of D'Antoni's coaching ability, at least his dedication to pursuing his own ideas is worthy of his admiration.
At this time, Wu Huang saw D'Antoni constantly shouting "speed up the action", "speed up the attack", "speed up the attack", and "speed up the pace of the attack" on the bench, and then think about what he pursues when he plays basketball? What exactly is he playing basketball for? He didn't have a clear answer.
"I seem to have been interested in basketball since I first saw it, but when I think about it, there's no particular reason why I really don't know why I like basketball." Wu Huang thought about it like this, he really couldn't laugh or cry, he didn't know why he liked basketball? Just like he doesn't know why he likes those girls, he also looks pleasing to the eye at first glance, and has the urge to hug him to bed at first glance!
At 8 minutes and 35 seconds in the fourth quarter, there was a dead ball on the court, and the coaches of the two teams changed their trump cards at the same time, and Wu Huang and Wade returned to the court at the same time.
"Senior, I want to ask, what did you play basketball for?" After Emperor Wu came on the field, he suddenly asked Wade very seriously.
Wade was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, especially when he saw Wu Huang's serious expression, he didn't know how to answer for a while, because he didn't know why he was playing basketball?
If Wu Huang asks Kobe, he will definitely get a relatively clear answer, and the boss will definitely say: "Because I like basketball, I like to win more, so I have to work harder than all of you, and then beat you all to prove that I am the best basketball player in the world." ”
Wade didn't respond, although his desire to win was not bad at all, but he didn't have the morbid desire to win like Kobe Bryant, so he didn't know how to answer Wu Huang's strange question.
"Do you think I will be the reincarnation of a top star in my last life?" Emperor Wu seemed to be talking to himself, but his serious expression made Wade on the side couldn't help but secretly think: "This little guy shouldn't have some mental illness, right?" ”
"Fool, you've been fooled!" Wu Huang suddenly yelled, rushed to the outside to receive David Lee's serve, a slightly drifting three-point shot, and threw the ball before the other Heat players could make up defense......
"Huh!" Wu Huang said that he liked the beautiful sound of this three-point net, and this ball was hollow into the net.
Wade's face immediately turned blue and white, and Straspola's arrangement in the fourth quarter was to use him to misplace to defend Wu Huang, but as soon as he came up, he gave the opponent an open opportunity to shoot, so how did he explain to his coach? And this is the first time he has seen such trash talk like Wu Huang, Wade has never seen anyone talk trash so seriously...... (To be continued.) )
