The Knicks' schedule in April wasn't easy, with two back-to-backs in seven games, and the last back-to-back on the road was full of malice. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This year's playoffs begin on April 16, and the Knicks will be able to secure the top spot in the East and the league with two more wins.

Eastern Rankings -

1. New York Knicks (60-15).

2. Miami Heat (55-20).

3. Boston Celtics (52-23).

4. Orlando Magic (50-25).

5. Chicago Bulls (43-32).

6. Atlanta Hawks (41-34).

7. Milwaukee Bucks (36-39).

8. Indiana Pacers (34-41).

9. Philadelphia 76ers (32-43)

If the current standings continue until the end of the regular season, then the Knicks will face the Pacers in the first round. But whether it is against the Pacers, the Bucks or the 76ers, the Knicks have an absolute advantage over all three. As for the Magic and Bulls in the next round, the Knicks know from top to bottom that their opponent in the second round is one of these two teams.

If the choice is up to them, they certainly want to play against the Magic, who went 3-1 in the regular season. Because once the Bulls can beat the Magic and reach the second round, it means that their run-in is over. No one in the league wants to play against the Bulls, who are in good shape, and while none of the top four are underdogs in theory, the Knicks still want to avoid the Bulls in good form.

"Our goal at this stage is to get more wins, everything in the playoffs is classified by us, and anyone who dares to leak it will be punished by a ban from the team, so don't ask me about the playoffs, don't ask anyone else, we won't talk about it." Before leaving for Charlotte, Wu Huang said at the airport in front of the reporters who surrounded him.

In this game, Wu Huang also exchanged a few words with Jordan during the warm-up, and they are an appreciative and respected character at this stage, so the relationship looks very good. But if the connection is deepened a little longer, I believe that they will soon turn their faces, and Emperor Wu needs to maintain a close relationship with famous people such as Jordan and Bird.

Jordan didn't ask the Bobcats to win this time, and last season's holiday with the Knicks was almost forgotten. Now the Bobcats are determined to rebuild, they traded Gerard Wallace to the Trail Blazers, and Stephen Jackson will also be traded next season, Jordan actually wants to lose more in his heart, otherwise they will keep Wallace and have a chance to impact the playoffs, but this kind of playoffs that are destined to be a round, Joe Gang really can't look down on it.

D'Antoni began to make a conscious rotation in this kind of game, and Smalls only played 24 minutes today, finishing with 10 points and five rebounds. Wu Huang played 28 minutes, chipped in 16 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists, and the Knicks beat the Bobcats 100-90 on the road.

Wu Huang wanted to try to see if he could complete three consecutive games to get a triple-double performance, but the mustache didn't give him this chance, although he felt a little sorry in his heart, but this time D'Antoni was out of overall considerations, and Wu Huang could understand.

The media in Asia and New York, the fans of the Knicks and Wu Huang, everyone has high hopes for this year's playoffs, and the players and coaching staff are all gearing up to make a big splash in the playoffs, and this year they have only one goal - to win the championship!

Wu Huang also knows that this time the chances of winning the championship are not small, the playoff schedule is in their favor, the second-round Magic and Bulls have their own flaws, and they have a good chance of reaching the Eastern Conference finals in one fell swoop. At that time, the Knicks were going to face either the Celtics or the Heat, and they still had some advantages, both of which also had their own flaws, and the Knicks also had some advantages in the regular season. It can be said that the current Knicks are not worthy of facing any team in the East, they have long been the top seed and the favorite to win the championship.

In the West, the defending champion Lakers have fewer and fewer champions, and now not many people feel that they can defend the title, and this team has lost its dominance; The Spurs lack stamina, the GDP portfolio is more experienced, but the physical strength is definitely not enough, and in addition to the GDP, they have no role players who can stand up, which dooms them to go far; The Mavericks have never had a championship since that time, and no one thinks that the team led by Nowitzki still has a chance to win.

"In that case, isn't that the champion me?" Wu Huang also feels that this year is a good time for the Knicks to win the championship, and once they win this championship, with their current young lineup, I believe that the Knicks will have a triple championship in the next two years and start a dynasty is a logical thing.

On April 5, the Knicks played away against the Raptors, and before the game, the league had announced the Player of the Month for March, and in the end it was really James who won the honor, the gorilla averaged 31 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists per game in March. Especially on March 20, in the Miami Heat's away game against the Hawks, James played 31 minutes and scored 43 points on 16-of-21 shooting, and in the first half he hit 100 shots, and in the third quarter he scored 23 points in a single quarter, and made his personal total score exceed 17,000 points, becoming the youngest Mr. 17,000 points in history.

Wu Huang was warming up at the Raptors' home stadium when he got the news, and his heart was full of disdain at this time, he also averaged 32 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists per game in March, and he cut 4 triple-doubles this month, is this performance worse than that youngest 17,000 points? And this record will definitely be broken by him in the future, what's the big deal?

This season, Wu Huang's regular season score has reached 2,174 points, and if there are no accidents, he will exceed 2,300 points by the end of the season. According to this data, the youngest scoring node after 10,000 points will be created by him, that is, starting from the youngest Mr. 10,000 points, and his name will be his name from then on, James can only rely on the advantage of entering the NBA a year earlier to support 10,000 points. If Wu Huang's scoring ability next season goes further, James is likely to not even be able to hold the 8,000-point level.

Wu Huang has been aiming at the nodes of 8,000 points and 9,000 points this season, and the goal he set for himself is to surpass James before 10,000 points, so he doesn't think James has a great record, anyway, sooner or later it will be his.

The Knicks defeated the Raptors 131-118 later in the game, and Wu Huang played 39 minutes in this game, scoring 46 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists.

It is worth mentioning that the Knicks also locked up the first place in the league after defeating the Raptors, and they also broke the record of the team's best record, and every win since then has created new team history.

Chinese fans are happy for Wu Huang at the moment, although before every game of the Knicks, someone will come to the post bar and shout a few words "Wu Huang is not Chinese" to disgust everyone, but most people treat Wu Huang as their own people, and the same is true for the parties. And the most powerful thing about Black Wu Huang and Yao Ming is precisely the previous group of people, every time the Knicks are defeated or Wu Huang and Yao Ming do not perform well, it is this group of people who are the most excited.

Now this group of people is excited again, Yao Ming is unfortunately reimbursed at the end of the season, the little giant, who has been very efficient this season, has been hit by injuries again, and it is at the end of the regular season, which makes the sixth position of the Rockets in the West a tragedy, everyone knows that the Rockets team without Yao Ming is simply not enough to make the playoffs, although it seems that Yao Ming does not play such a big role.

It's been a strange season, with a lot of injuries concentrated in March and April, and the Rockets aren't the only victims......

-- Fox Sports

Injuries and illnesses, like things in Pandora's box, are always silent but far-reaching. Once the team's core players are plagued by injuries, the team will not make the playoffs, or the team will be completely underdog.

The Rockets and Trail Blazers are the victims of "injuries", and teams such as the Spurs, Lakers, Heat, Bulls, and Celtics have also suffered injuries to a greater or lesser extent, but the playoff strategies of these teams will not be affected by injuries.

When it comes to injuries, the Trailblazers are a handful of snot and tears, and they can't finish their bitter words for three days and three nights. Before the season began, the "champion show" center Oden said goodbye. Since then, Camby, Puzbilla and other centers have been injured and sidelined, resulting in the Trail Blazers often falling into a situation of overstretched personnel. As the season wore on, Roy was reimbursed, and Roy's knee injury last year severely affected his speed, bounce and agility. After the surgery, under the influence of injuries, Roy has long since changed from a "Kobe Bryant's successor" to a mediocre player.

In the West, only the Rockets can compare who is worse than the Trail Blazers. Yao Ming fell five games from the playoffs, with a miserable five-star rating. Major players such as Brooks, Scola and Badinger are also injured, and their playoff journey is destined to be unpleasant.

But don't think that only the average team has the most impact on injuries, even the former league-wide hegemon Spurs, when injuries hit, they can only bow their heads and admit defeat to the Knicks.

The Spurs have a 58-14 record when the troika is playing together, a whopping 80.6 percent win rate. If it weren't for the injuries of Duncan, Ginobili and Parker, the Spurs would not have suffered a six-game losing streak at the end of the season and would not have been overtaken by the Knicks.

Super teams such as the Celtics, Bulls, Mavericks, Heat and Lakers are also well aware of injuries. Garnett, Pierce and Rondo were intermittently sidelined, which left them with a playoff finish of third place in the East; The Bulls are in the same condition as the Celtics, and before the season began, the Bulls spent a lot of money to bring in power forward Boozer was injured last summer, and Boozer did not return until December, and the Bulls' rebounding king Noah has only played nearly half of the games this season; The Heat don't have a few healthy players except for the Big Three, and not long ago they announced the reimbursement of Big Z, and the bench lineup has become even more miserable; The Mavericks' No. 3 scorer, Butler, played just 29 games before the season was reimbursed, and although they have since brought in players such as Stojakovic and Brewer, none of these players have been able to fill the void left by Butler; The Lakers' starting center, Bynum, also didn't return until mid-March, which of course was a good thing for Wu Huang.

The Hornets and Grizzlies could also be included in the list of bleak teams, both of which lost their most consistent scorers in crunch moments into the playoffs, with the Hornets without West and the Grizzlies losing Gay. While these two teams eventually snatched a playoff ticket, what can the Hornets without West and the Grizzlies do without Guy do in the playoffs?

This year, injuries to various teams have only hit in the last month or two, and almost all of the 30 teams have been spared, and only a few teams such as the Knicks have not had problems, which may have added a lot of chances for the New Yorkers to win the championship, and the health of the whole team can determine the fate of a team at such a time.

On April 6, the Knicks played back-to-back games against the 76ers on the road, perhaps because they were worried that their own team would also be unlucky, D'Antoni only let the main team play the first half and then replaced most of the bench, only to have a 15-point lead that was almost closed by the 76ers in the third quarter. Wu Huang and Xiao Si had to re-enter the court in the fourth quarter, but an accident happened, Xiao Si, who had been sitting on the court for half a quarter, accidentally hit his knee after coming on the court, and scared D'Antoni on the spot.

Jr.S.'s injury made all Knicks fans feel bad, although Evans, who came off the bench, played his role on the defensive end, grabbed three frontcourt rebounds in the final quarter, and indirectly helped the Knicks play an attacking wave to finish the 76ers. But Xiao Si's departure made the whole team unhappy, they didn't expect this kind of accident at the end of the regular season, if Xiao Si's injury is serious, it will be difficult for the Knicks to win the championship.

"How's Amare's injury?" When Wu Huang returned to the locker room after the game, the first question he asked was.

Wu Huang can't help but be nervous, the Knicks' interior offense now depends on Xiao Si alone, Monroe is just a rookie who can add icing on the cake, and without Xiao Si, he can't withstand the pressure of the frontal battlefield at all. The same is true for O'Neal, if the fat shark is on the front line, it is estimated that he will be reimbursed for playing two games.

"Amare has been to the hospital and cannot confirm the injury until the results of the detailed examination are available, but the initial examination by the team doctor is not very good and he has an old knee injury." The words of the team staff made Wu Huang not in the mood to participate in the post-match press conference, and after coming to the scene and answering a few questions in a hurry, he rushed to the hospital with D'Antoni.

The results of Xiao Si's injuries did not reach until 1 a.m., and when Wu Huang met Stoudemire, the guy was wrapped in several layers of bandages, from his left ankle to his thigh.

"There was a tingling sensation, and my knee still felt very painful, and I hit it hard, and it was numb at the time." Xiao Si's mood is also very bad, although the doctor said that his injury may not be too serious, but the preliminary diagnosis is to rest for a few days first, and then see if the injury has improved, whether it will be swollen and so on? If you still have pain or swelling after a few days, there may be a problem.

"Looks like we'll have to go back to New York to check on the results." Both D'Antoni and Wu Huang frowned, the doctors in Philadelphia are not bad, but athletes have their own personal doctors, and only these private doctors know their physical conditions best. So to determine the severity of his injuries, Xiao Si had to go back to New York to see his personal doctor.

After the Knicks returned to New York, major media outlets have learned about Xiaosi's injury from various sources, and for the time being, it seems that even with the best results, the Knicks may lose their interior core in the first round of the playoffs.

On April 8, the Knicks traveled to play the Cavaliers on the road, and Smalls stayed in New York to recover his knee, and the Knicks blocked the news of Smalls' injury.

The outside world does not know what the diagnosis result of Xiao Si after returning to New York at this time, but Wu Huang knows Xiao Si's injury, the knee cartilage part of this goods has signs of recurrence, experts suggest that he rest for a week to see how he recovers, if it is not ideal, he may have to undergo surgery, but once the operation is performed, it is the situation of season reimbursement.

Xiao Si is naturally reluctant to operate at this time, but if the injury does not improve after a week, forcing him to play may be like Roy last season, so the Knicks' coaching staff will not let him force him out with an injury, after all, his contract is five years, and he can't gamble the remaining four years just because of a playoffs.

"Sick seedlings are really a hidden danger, although David Li is a little worse in all aspects, he has no injuries!" Although Emperor Wu comforted Xiao Si on the surface, the latter was quite moved. But he is actually very troubled in his heart, he really thinks that this year's Knicks have hope to win the championship, but it is not the case with Xiao Si's injury.

As soon as Xiao Si is injured, O'Neill can't rest anymore, this fat man has been raised for almost a month, and his physical condition has already been adjusted, and he came out to find the state of the game in the last few regular seasons, which was the original plan.

Even if the Knicks' away team lacks the inside core, it is still not stable to play a team like the Cavaliers, Wu Huang scored 40 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists and 6 steals, and O'Neal returned from full state and played 25 minutes, scoring 15 points and 8 rebounds, and the state of the dead fat man looks good. But this playing time is already O'Neal's limit, and when it comes to the intensity of the playoffs, it is estimated that O'Neal can only play 20 minutes and can't play any more, otherwise this dead fat man is also a master who can be reimbursed at any time.

On April 10, the Knicks continued to play on the road, eventually winning 110-109 against their first-round playoff opponent, the Indiana Pacers.

Before this game, the Knicks couldn't be sure whether their first-round opponent would be the Pacers or the Bucks, but after winning the Pacers, the Bucks locked up the seventh spot in advance, and the Knicks' opponent was naturally the Pacers.

The Pacers caused a lot of problems for the Knicks today, and Granger's performance this year has slipped a bit, but he can still have the upper hand against Gallinari. Hibbert, the big center, has also begun to mature, and his deterrence on the inside has made Wu Huang's breakthrough a little fearful. Rookie Paul George also looks like a promising young man, and the performances of Collison and Hansbrough have left the Knicks with little to handle.

The Knicks didn't have the firepower output of Smalls on the inside today, and the defense of Hibbert and Hansbru made it much more difficult for the Knicks to break through, and once they didn't have a touch outside the three-point line, it was really difficult to clean up this opponent.

If it weren't for Wu Huang's final left-handed kill today, the Knicks would have lost in overtime. They just caught up with their poor three-point shooting today, shooting 10 of 40 three-pointers from the team, exactly 25% shooting, and almost overturned on the road.

Wu Huang scored 41 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 7 steals, and in the final stage of the regular season, Wu Huang came to a 4-game 3-game 40+ performance. But this is not a good thing, but it shows that once Xiao Si is not there, this Knicks will become Wu Huang's one-man team, which is equivalent to saying that as long as the Pacers use heavy troops to defend Wu Huang in the playoffs, the Knicks may face the danger of being blackened.

"Others have to step up!" The New York Times named Iguodala and Gallinari directly after the Knicks nearly rolled over on the road.

If Xiao Si misses the first round, then these two must stand up, otherwise Wu Huang alone can bring victory by scoring high scores every game, and it is not impossible to be blackened. The Pacers team is not strong, but it is a bit too underestimated to want to defeat the opponent by relying on one person.

At this moment, Knicks fans who don't know the true situation of Xiao Si's injury are not so worried, and many people are still brain-opening, feeling that although Xiao Si is injured, the fourth month of the "Holy Master" is the best stable, how do you feel a bit of a conspiracy when you think about it?

After the Knicks defeated the Suns 112-108 at home on April 12, some Wu Huang fans joked.

The reason for the relief of Knicks fans is that Iguodala and Gallinari, who were named before this game, both stepped up, the former cut 20 points and 10 rebounds, the latter contributed 18 points and 5 rebounds, Wu Huang only scored 20 points in this game, but had 18 assists in the account, the Knicks successfully won 66 wins in the first season, and they are now only one win away from making their all-time record into the top ten.

But after the victory over the sun, a thorny problem also arises.

The Knicks' last regular season game of the season was a back-to-back away game against the Celtics, who are third in the East, and this kind of schedule made D'Antoni suddenly in a dilemma, especially when Smalls already had the possibility of reimbursement, do they need to fight the Celtics on the road for a 10th all-time record?

The Celtics will definitely not let the Knicks take such a key victory on their home court, in addition to defending the dignity of the giants, the Knicks are fighting back-to-back away from home, and there is no reason for the Green Army to be afraid of the opponent at home. And these two teams are very likely to play each other in the Eastern Conference Finals, and if they don't fight for steamed buns, they have to fight first, if they don't even dare to show their bayonets in this kind of game, how can they fight in the playoffs?

"Do you want to give up this game?" D'Antoni was in a state of dilemma after his victory over the Suns.

At this moment, there was also Emperor Wu who was as embarrassed as the mustache, and in the face of this tricky multiple-choice question, he also scratched his head unconsciously. Although reason told him that he should give up this game, the temptation to make a 67-win win was too great for him to make a decision when he thought about it, and the opportunity to make team history like this is not available every year.

"Damn, that's 67 wins!" If the Knicks have 67 wins this year, other teams will have to get 68 wins if they want to squeeze them out of the top 10 in history.

Because of the first-come, first-served relationship, even if someone gets 67 wins in the future, they will be ranked behind the Knicks, so this temptation is too great, should you give up at this time? (To be continued.) )
