Chapter 252: A New Pattern

In the final stage of the game, the Knicks lineup: Wu Huang, Tony Allen, Iguodala, Evans, and Xiaosi.

Rockets lineup: Lowry, Connette Lee, Kevin Martin, Scola, Jordan Hill.

Such a lineup comparison is obviously that the Knicks are bullying people, Wu Huang and Xiao Si played a signature high-post blocking attack of the Suns on the offensive end, after the two were separated, the Rockets players were immediately confused, because they had too much to judge, Wu Huang and Xiao Si can directly kill the basket to score points, and they can also pull outside to shoot, the threat of the two of them is even greater than Nash + Xiao Si, because Wu Huang's attack power is stronger than Nash.

Lowry and Jordan both chose to pounce on Emperor Wu at the first time, and they felt that the New York Emperor was the greatest threat.

Wu Huang quickly hit the ground and passed the ball into the basket, and after receiving the ball, Xiao Si faced Scola, who couldn't help defense, and jumped directly with a one-handed dunk!

Scola didn't dare to touch Xiao Si, as long as the two of them touched, it was two plus one at a time. It can be said that as long as Wu Huang's ball is passed to Xiao Si, it is basically impossible to defend.

The difference between Stoudemire and David Lee can be seen from this ball, the former's cut is obviously faster and more fierce, and the impact on the basket after receiving the ball is much stronger than David Lee's, even if the opponent can help defend in time, Xiao Si can still rely on his athleticism to complete a more qualitative and efficient finish than David Lee, but David Lee may be out of action in the face of the help defense.

In terms of skill proficiency, skill attack power, and skill success rate, Xiao Si is better than David Lee, which is why he can be worth the top salary, and the latter can only get a contract of 10 million, because everything is good, then it is more than a little better.

The Knicks retreated to the defensive end, with Smalls playing in the No. 4 position in New York, mainly responsible for helping defense, while O'Neal, Monroe, Evans, Collins, and Turiaf were responsible for defending the opposing center.

Wu Huang has been training with Stoudemire for more than half a month, and his defensive ability against his teammates is also roughly on the spectrum. Xiao Si's single defense ability can be rated as a C+ when he plays the No. 4 position and has a serious attitude, but he can evaluate a B in the help defense, which is the best defense he can come up with, and he can't do better if he forces him, because that's not what attitude can make up for.

Lowry's breakthrough still has some threats, and Wu Huang habitually lets his opponent break in, and he likes to strike backwards. This season his interior teammates are stronger than last season, he can get more help on the inside, and he always likes to use his teammates to complete his defense.

Although Wu Huang was broken through by Lowry, he was only half a step behind, Xiao Si raised his arms on the inside to interfere, Lowry did not dare to shoot blindly, and there was a Wu Huang behind him that gave him a chill down his spine, and he could only pass the ball out.

Tony Allen stepped up and Connett Lee touched the basketball at the same time, but neither of them could get the basketball.

"Mine!" Wu Huang relied on his own reaction to rush to the second landing point of basketball, and this steal was also counted in his name.

In the last 1 minute 08 seconds, the score was 121:116, the Knicks' lead was already a lot, after this break, Wu Huang immediately accelerated and wanted to counterattack, but unexpectedly someone stood in front of him after turning around? That's right, Scola was standing not far behind him, and his acceleration happened to collide with the opponent's full arms.

The Argentine immediately fell backwards, and after falling to the ground, he glided backwards for a short distance, and the two major movie stars in South America are indeed not in vain.

Wu Huang couldn't help laughing, the referee sentenced him to a foul, and he didn't bother to get angry in this kind of game, so he stepped forward and pulled up Scola and patted the Argentine on the shoulder, meaning you are awesome!

But soon he couldn't laugh anymore, and after the Rockets regained possession, Martin used his teammates' cover to run out of the gap and hit a three-pointer to close the gap to two points.

After the Knicks came to the offensive end, the problem that Allen and Iguodala were unreliable in shooting was highlighted, and Evans on the inside was not a guy with shooting ability, so the Rockets only needed to watch Wu Huang and Xiao Si, the Knicks' offense almost violated the 24-second violation, and Wu Huang forced the shot before the 24-second violation.

D'Antoni is experimenting with the pros and cons of various lineups at the moment, and he knows that the presence of all five players at the same time will greatly reduce the team's attacking power, but he wants to see how much it will be weakened. Now it seems that even the Rockets' defense can't penetrate it, if Gallinari is put in the No. 4 position, I wonder if it will make a difference?

The mustache really dares to think that the inside combination of Gallinari + Xiaosi, such an inside defense may be worse than last season.

The Knicks didn't call a timeout, since it's a lineup, it doesn't matter if it's a win or a loss, he will experiment with more different lineups in the next game, and even in the first half of the regular season, the Knicks will focus on running in the team, increasing player chemistry, and looking for the best rotation plan, as long as the team's record can ensure the top four in the East, with their attack power and hard power, it is not difficult to do this.

The Rockets attacked, Lowry broke through again, Martin received the ball and feintmed to shoot, but this time passed the ball to the inside.

Scola received the basketball on the left penalty area line, and Xiao Si, who turned around and shook for two and a half in a row, stood unsteadily, and the Argentine was like a long eye in the back of his head, and turned around for the third time to completely get rid of Xiao Si's defense, and deftly put the basketball under Xiao Si's armpit into the basket, and the two teams actually tied in the last 23 seconds of the game!

D'Antoni was about to call a timeout, as Tony Allen, who had no three-point shooting ability, was replaced by Gallinari, and even Iguodala was replaced by skier Rademanovic.

Speaking of this Radmanovich, his popularity is not small, because this guy was the main forward of the Lakers back then, and his performance in the first two years of the Lakers was still okay, but later he had many advanced deeds, pit performance in the playoffs, and the rapid decline in form made him the target of criticism for all Lakers fans.

Wu Huang also knows some strange deeds of skiing men, such as he has VIP gold cards in major nightclubs in Los Angeles, even if he transfers, he plays in Staples in the preseason, especially when there is nothing to do with the Lakers, hundreds of Lakers fans have made a special trip to scold him, which shows how famous he is in Los Angeles. If he's the best skier at basketball, there's no doubt about it.

Radmanovic still has the final year of his contract, and his offensive ability, which was originally good, is now only a passable three-point shot, and the defensive end has completely degenerated into an invisible man. However, using him as a single-function tall battery can still come in handy at certain moments, but the $5 million salary is a bit expensive, but it doesn't hurt to have only one year left, and the Knicks are on his contract for the last year.

The Knicks' last offense was naturally handed over to Wu Huang to execute, and the fans in the audience also stood up and cheered him, and everyone hoped to see a stunner.

Wu Huang glanced at his left hand on the sidelines, because of the three non-sticks just now, he now has little confidence in the golden left hand he got in the dream.

Xiao Si served, Wu Huang used his teammates to cover, rushed out to receive the basketball, and the Rockets immediately turned into a man-to-man defense.

The Knicks are still a threat from the outside, with Gallinari and Radmanovic both white shooters shooting more than 40 percent from three-point range, and it's easy to make big mistakes when they give them open shots.

Wu Huang stopped outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, ready to attack when time was running out.

The Rockets paused this time and specially replaced Battier to defend Wu Huang, but I don't know if this is a clever move or a stupid move, and it is difficult for Batman to keep up with a similarly old star like Kobe Bryant, let alone keep up with Wu Huang who is young.

Time passed second by second, and when the timer lit up with a "7" number, Wu Huang finally moved! He was just like Xiao Bu at the beginning of this game, and he didn't even use any feints in the face of the old and spicy Battier, and completely relied on explosiveness to break through directly.

Battier hurriedly let go of a hole, and Scola quickly moved in the direction of Wu Huang's breakthrough, and the two veterans of the Rocket team set a trap for Wu Huang early in the morning.

In this case, if Wei Shao is changed, it is estimated that he will be killed, but Wu Huang will not do this, he quickly stopped and closed the ball to change the direction of his breakthrough, which is a super change of direction to test the opponent's knee, just like Iverson broke through Jordan back then, completely using his young advantage and relying on his athleticism to bully the old man.

But the result was obvious, Jordan was almost shaken down when he insisted on following Iverson's change of direction, and Battier naturally couldn't keep up with Wu Huang's change of direction, he didn't even dare to follow, so he could only let Wu Huang break into the inner line with a change of direction, but he was still stunned on the spot.

"Left hand or right hand?" Wu Huang rushed to the free throw line and did not plan to go deeper, the Rockets had already arranged, deliberately replaced the more flexible Hayes to assist the defense, at this time the Rockets both inside lines returned to the defensive position, although he burst into although there is a high chance of causing a foul, but this is not his style, Wu Huang chose a mid-range pull-up jump shot......

"Bang!" Wu Huang still didn't choose his left hand in his final shot, but this time the difficult kill failed again, and the basketball bounced off the back edge of the basket.

"What a failure!" Emperor Wu sighed after he landed.

Reggie Evans shouted under the basket at this time, and squeezed away Hayes who had the same role as him in the air, and the upper body strength finally showed its usefulness in this situation, Evans said that the lower body strength was not as good as Hayes, but leaving the ground was to see whose upper body strength and waist and abdominal strength were stronger, and the rebounding maniac relied on his deadly momentum to grab an offensive rebound for the team again.

There was not much time left in the game, and Evans' most correct choice was to make up the basket himself, but this thing re-threw the basketball to Wu Huang, and it was a little off!

"! Is this a pot throw? Wu Huang saw the basketball flying to his upper left, so he could only jump up and catch the basketball with his left hand, but the offensive time was only 1 second, and it was definitely too late to shoot after landing, he didn't even have time to take a closer look at the basket, and threw the ball with his left hand in the air.

"This TM can also enter, I'll go to ****!" Yao Ming couldn't help laughing when he saw Wu Huang's embarrassed shooting, but after only one laugh, the little giant's expression instantly froze, and it turned into the egg-sore expression in the dynamic picture that was more ugly than crying.

Wu Huang was also stunned when he saw the basketball bounce into the net on the red frame of the rebound! But there was no psychological fluctuation in his expression, and the fans only saw him raise his left hand immediately after landing, with a terrible expression, and then surrounded by his teammates.

"The first game of the new season is a good sign!" When Wu Huang was surrounded by his teammates to celebrate, he couldn't help but shake the fist of his left hand, and secretly thought in his heart: "Could it be that my left hand is only useful when throwing lore?" ”

He couldn't believe it, but if that was the case, this ability didn't seem to help him that much, because most of the games didn't have the chance to shoot the kill, and he didn't believe that his left hand really hit every shot when he threw the kill, and the great thing was that the success rate was a little higher, which really didn't help him as much as he imagined. What's more, he has always been reluctant to give opponents or himself the opportunity to shoot, and his lack of goals last season is actually related to his lack of shots.

Wu Huang came to the sidelines to interact with the fans after throwing the stunner, he only played 23 minutes in this game, but scored 25 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists, which can be regarded as very, very high.

At this time, there was a scene on the field that surprised the majority of fans, shortly after the game, a female fan who was selected to walk on the court to give gifts to Wu Huang instantly burst into tears, she actually rushed up and hugged Wu Huang tightly, and was reluctant to let go for a long time, and then knelt directly at Wu Huang's feet when she was pulled away.

"Damn, this is a fan he invited himself, right? Is there such a person in reality? Yao Ming can't be calm on the sidelines, he hasn't met such a crazy female fan for so many years, he is really envious and jealous!

Wu Huang was even more embarrassed, if it was a beautiful woman who dragged him and didn't let go, it would be fine, but this girl didn't seem to be so good-looking, just an ordinary-looking girl. In this way, his feelings were very different, and he quickly called for help to the staff and security guards!

"Damn, in the future, this kind of fan must block me from the outside, in case I come to take advantage of Sister Feng next time, it's not too late to have a nightmare!" Wu Huang has participated in the activities in the past two days, and he has been taken advantage of by such crazy fans, in case a perverted girl comes up to bite him one day, or gives him a knife or something, then whose responsibility is it?

This kind of extreme fan is not without it, Emma Watson has met this kind of fan in the UK, but she was taken down by her bodyguards all the way away. There are really a lot of perverted fans abroad, and the more famous the public figures, the more you have to be careful of some fans and fans who have problems in their hearts, because you can't imagine what will happen if you let these mentally abnormal guys come to your side.

After the competition, the organizers originally had some programs, such as interviews with Wu Huang and Yao Ming......

But Wu Huang was dissatisfied with the organizer and let the female fans finally scratch his clothes, and the crazy female fan finally dragged him to death, not only tearing his clothes, but also drawing two blood marks on his chest with long fingernails, Wu Huang left without even attending the post-game press conference with a cold face.

The domestic media was very happy, and the next day they criticized Wu Huang for playing big names, etc., and also intercepted some shots of Wu Huang pushing female fans away, but they didn't mention that Wu Huang was scratched by female fans and his skin was broken, just like Wu Huang kicked his fans off the stage, but they didn't mention the reason.

Nowadays, the domestic media and journalists are becoming less and less professional, or they have always been like this. Once a Chinese player is going to participate in the draft, they will write some exaggerated reports to attract people's attention, such as what so-and-so Chinese player's height and reach are the second Hall of Fame superstar, what so-and-so player has the best draft data in history, so-and-so player will be the second little giant, so-and-so player will become a combination of Garnett and Nowitzki, etc...... The words used in these reports are either "seckill" or "complete", and there is no spectrum at all.

Although such a report can attract clicks, it will only cause people's disgust after reading it, and the players have done nothing, and they may have more sunspots in plain water, which is also completely wronged.

This was the case with Yi Jianlian back then, and it will still be the case with Chinese rookies in the future, this kind of exaggerated and ridiculous reporting, I don't know how much pressure these young players will suffer. Secondly, a large number of ignorant and low-quality pseudo-fans on the Internet have also contributed to this unhealthy trend, and they are the same as the behavior of the countless media, either blindly belittling or blindly touting, if the players perform well, these pseudo-fans will be the same as the media, opening their mouths to be every second and every second. But once the game is not as expected, then I can't wait to spray the player on the spot until he retires, and all kinds of ugly faces can be seen through the screen.

Wu Huang and his teammates had a day off the next day, and on October 2, the Knicks unanimously decided to visit the Great Wall before leaving Beijing to prove that they were good men after hearing the saying that "if you don't go to the Great Wall, you are not a hero".

"What a fart!" The Knicks players did visit the Great Wall in the end, but Wu Huang found that the quality of his heroic teammates was worrying, O'Neal and Xiao Si actually carved words on the city wall and left their names, and Radmanovic and Gallinari also wanted to bring back the fallen wall tiles as a souvenir, which made Wu Huang feel that his teammates were not only worrying, but also seemed to be a little brainless?

The Knicks' second game was Shanghai, and this time they were not playing against an NBA team, but the CBA team "Shanghai Oriental Sharks" bought by Yao Ming. This kind of game is completely showy, and a team that is not even a strong team in the CBA cannot pose the slightest threat to the Knicks.

Yao Ming did his best before the game, and specially invited Wu Huang to his home for a homely meal, the little giant probably didn't know that Wu Huang was under the influence of his grandfather and father, and he especially liked to eat spicy food, and he thought that Wu Huang couldn't stand the stimulation of chili peppers like Americans.

Of course, if you let the little brother eat it, it really can't stand such a big stimulus.

Yao Ming asked Ye Li to make a few spicy dishes and wanted to pit the bastard who stole his limelight, Wu Huang calculated it, and after pretending to be stupid, he accidentally added chili peppers to all the dishes, and then deliberately put too many hands with trembling, as a result, Yao Ming has always been in the dynamic picture of this meal, and his spicy eyes are red after eating.

"I still want to yin me, don't you know that there are many authentic Sichuan Chinese restaurants in Los Angeles and New York? What's more, Lao Tzu himself will squeeze chili oil and make chili sauce, and you can't see enough when it comes to eating chili peppers. "Wu Huang is very full of food this time, and when Yao Ming comes to New York to compete in the future, he will find an opportunity to take him to a Sichuan Chinese restaurant, and then entertain this guy who is afraid of spicy and wants to trick people.

On the evening of October 3, in Wu Huang's personal activities, a young female fan attracted everyone's attention, and she made a special trip from Beijing to Shanghai to see Wu Huang. And said that he liked Wu Huang when he played in the NCAA, and he was really happy to see Wu Huang himself this time.

The female fan also said that she will continue to fly with Wu Huang's Asian tour one stop at a time, and her biggest wish is to be able to get Wu Huang's autograph and see Wu Huang win the regular season MVP and championship.

The reporter also saw her take out the ticket she booked early in the morning, and the itinerary was really the same as the Knicks' trip to Asia, and the female fan actually had the Knicks' season ticket this season. At this glance, she is still a white rich beauty, and she can't chase stars like this without a certain economic strength.

"This girl is not ugly, but unfortunately she is still a little short of the standard of beauty." Wu Huang secretly felt that it was a pity, otherwise such a crazy female fan, he wouldn't mind going on a solo date.

But if you think about it carefully, no matter how beautiful this girl is, he probably won't have the strength to provoke it again, especially looking at Emma Roberts who followed him to Shanghai, Wu Huang knows that when he returns to the United States, he will have to "open all four" at the same time in the future. Such a multi-front battle, even if his skills are already deeper than last season, it will still be a little difficult to think of, and he will not be able to be distracted in a short time.

On October 4, the Knicks played a preseason game at the "Shanghai Oriental Sports Center" and the "Shanghai Oriental Sharks".

The game was not of a high competitive level, but the nature of the performance was stronger than the previous one, and the Knicks players performed wonderful breakthroughs and dunks for the 13,000 fans in the stadium throughout the game, and the final score was 140:110, and the Knicks played an all-star score.

Wu Huang only played 21 minutes in this game, including 7 of 10 three-point shots, and scored a total of 32 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists.

D'Antoni thinks the same way, such a game can't have the effect of training at all, the players of the Shanghai team don't defend at all, the same goes for the Knicks players, and even Tony Allen shot 3-of-4 three-pointers today, and there is nothing of value to see.

On October 6, the Knicks traveled to Hong Kong, the third destination of their Asian tour.

This game was played by the New York Knicks against the Chicago Bulls, Wu Huang found that this preseason, in addition to the Lakers are completely in Europe, the rest of their games are all played in Asia, and other NBA teams go overseas to play three or two games at most, and the Lakers and Knicks have obviously become the league's top names in overseas promotion.

"Don't complain, we don't have a good preseason schedule, but the league is using us so much, the regular season schedule will definitely be more favorable to us, I bet my brother." When Wu Huang complained that his teammates were tired of flying around like this, he thought of more things.

Experienced fans, especially those who bet on dogs, will start by looking at the regular season schedule to determine who the league wants to favor or who they want to suppress in the new season, and it is well known that an easy schedule will undoubtedly increase a team's winning percentage. Last season's Pistons and Spurs had 20 and 18 back-to-backs, respectively, but the Cavaliers and Lakers had 13 and 15 back-to-backs, the two teams with the fewest back-to-backs in the league, which is the league's preference for James and Kobe, as well as the reflection of Stern's fatherhood.

The league is taking advantage of the Lakers and Knicks' fame so much this year, so it's impossible not to give them some benefits in the regular season, otherwise wouldn't it make them work for nothing?

"Last season we had a difficult schedule and we almost finished in the top four, so if we have an easier schedule this year, we can try to hit 60 wins." Wu Huang said before the game against the Bulls that the preseason coach would not have much to set up before the game, and the players quickly began to talk about topics outside of the game.

The New York Knicks will face the equally young Chicago Bulls, one of their main opponents in the new season and a big rival on the way to the championship in the future.

Chicago now represents more of a glorious history, and the history created by Michael Jordan is like a herd of cattle running wild on the home field for more than 10 years, which looks magnificent, but in fact, the nostalgic atmosphere is higher than its own temperament - the bulls seem to have been wearing the emperor's new clothes since the 21st century, and they have no new hope until this year

This new hope is not Carlos Boozer, nor Carmelo Anthony, who is still in contention, but rather a change in the situation. Just as Jordan seized the period of decline of the Lakers and Celtics to completely change the NBA landscape, the current tone of the decline of the West and the rise of the East has emerged, and the gradually stronger Bulls have once again had the opportunity to change the pattern of strength and weakness.

This summer, although the Bulls did not get James, Wade, and Bosh, they got the second-tier star Carlos Boozer, solved the team's unfavorable interior offense, and built the team around young players such as Rose and Noah, and the Bulls also hired Tom Thibodeau in the offseason, who contributed to the Celtics' championship in 2008.

The mainstream media generally believes that the Bulls should make some progress in 2010-11 due to the additions of Boozer and Thibodeau, as well as the growth of Rose and Noah, but the team's lack of free throws and three-pointers will limit the Bulls' offense.

In the Eastern Conference, the Celtics, Magic, Heat, and Knicks are the first group, and all the Bulls have to do is win the second-tier competition with the Bucks, Hawks, and Bobcats.

However, Chicagoans obviously don't think so, especially since the recent rumors that the Bulls plan to trade Rohr Deng, Brewer, Gibson and others for Carmelo Anthony, who is in trouble with the Nuggets, shows that the Bulls are not willing to stay in the second echelon. (To be continued.) )
