Chapter 319: Little Tricks

"I feel like my knee is recovering well, and although it still hurts a little bit when I run, it's better than I expected. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info "Smalls traveled to Boston with the team on the 13th, the first time he's answered questions about his injury in front of the media since he was injured a week ago, during which time the Knicks have been blocking news of his injury.

The media who interviewed also knew that Xiao Si should not be reimbursed for the season, so he would show up for an interview.

D'Antoni and Wu Huang were not so optimistic, and Xiao Si's attending physician believed that timely surgery was the best option before the injury worsened.

If the surgery is done now, then Xiao Si's knee will not be too much of a problem, and they already have a surgical plan to make Xiao Si's knee healthier, at the cost of a complete reimbursement this season.

When it comes to this option, the team will first consider the player's health, unless the player has only one year left on his contract, but Smalls has four years left on his contract, and the Knicks certainly won't let him risk it, so the team supports him to have surgery.

But Xiao Si himself doesn't want to be reimbursed like this, and he also wants to win the championship this season, so he plans to adopt a more conservative treatment plan.

Of course, there are conservative treatment options, and Xiao Si's recovery this week looks acceptable, although he can't play right away, but after a week or two of rest, he should be able to play. But the price of conservative treatment is that his knee will become a ticking time bomb. And based on the intensity of the playoffs, even if he is no longer injured, it will worsen the knee injury and increase the risk of surgery. If he's unlucky enough to hurt his knee one more time, he'll probably be as tragic as Roy.

D'Antoni finally chose a compromise plan, he believes that even if there is no Xiao Si in the first round of the playoffs, the Knicks are sure to advance, so let Xiao Si continue to cultivate throughout the first round of the playoffs, and then choose whether to return according to the recovery of his knee in the second round.

With 16 teams in the first round of the playoffs, and there are sure to be teams that make it to Game 7, Smalls has two weeks to recover in the first round, and the current situation doesn't seem too bad. What the Knicks are really imminent now is the game against the Celtics, and they should play for their lives in this game?

This problem has plagued the Knicks all day, and D'Antoni finally chose to play first and then talk about it, if he can play, he will fight hard, and give up early if the situation is unfavorable.

Emperor Wu proposed another option to him, and he asked D'Antoni to make a truce for himself.

That's right, Wu Huang had an idea on the plane, and he came up with such an idea - if he doesn't play and Xiao Si truces again, then the Celtics will definitely not play with them, and the Big Three and Rondo will definitely have a truce, so it will become a big battle between the benches of the two sides, and the Knicks' bench is obviously stronger than the Celtics, and the bench battle between the two sides is of course the Knicks' better chance of winning.

"Even if I play, without the assistance of Xiao Si on the inside, the odds of winning against the Celtics are not high, so it is better to let the substitutes on both sides play." Wu Huang felt that this was the best way at the moment, and the main battle between the two sides had little chance of winning for the Knicks, who lacked Xiao Si.

D'Antoni also thinks this method is good, although it was proposed by Wu Huang to make him a little faceless as a head coach, but he, a disciple, can be a man, and deliberately proposed to him when there were no outsiders, so he is not a loss of face, and the media thought it was an idea he came up with.

"You think beautifully, winning the game must be the credit of Lao Tzu, and if you lose, it will be your turn to take the blame." Although Wu Huang didn't know D'Antoni's thoughts, he had already planned that if the substitutes could beat the Celtics, the great credit for the 67 wins in the season would of course be taken by him alone. Not to mention that he came up with the idea, even if it was really D'Antoni who came up with it, the final credit would still be his.

As soon as the Knicks players got off the plane, Wu Huang told the Boston reporter in ambush at the airport that he would not play tonight, "Although 67 wins are worth playing, we are still young, and we will have better opportunities to impact a better record in the future, there is no need to delay our playoff preparations for 67 wins, I am just here to cheer for today." ”

Wu Huang's words quickly reached Rivers' ears, and the Green Army certainly didn't want to fight a useless game with the young and strong Knicks, but their dignity as a giant didn't allow the Knicks to get 67 wins on their home court, so if the Knicks go all out today, they must face it head-on.

But now that the Knicks chose not to play, they naturally didn't have to let the Big Four play, and Rivers laughed for a while.

But Rivers, who was happy, never expected that the Knicks would be so insidious, and when he saw the starting lineup sent by D'Antoni: Alstom, Tony Allen, Iguodala, Gallinari, and Monroe, he immediately guessed D'Antoni's plan. But at this time, Rivers can't do anything with these cunning guys, and he can't replace his Big Four just because Gallinari and Iguodala are on the scene, right? That's too much face for the first brother and the Italian.

The Greens started today: Carlos Arroyo, Vaughan Weaver, Jeff Green, Glenn Davis, Nenad Kostic.

Today's starting lineups of the two teams, of course, are superior to the Knicks, and the point guards are veterans on both sides, which is half a catty. Tony Allen at the No. 2 position is enough to block Weaver, who is wandering around the league. Green certainly won't get any help from Iguodala. Gallinari has some advantages against the big babe. Monroe won't have much of a problem with the Serbian centre-forward, who has been plagued by injuries over the past few years. Not to mention that the Knicks also have utility players such as Danny Green, Reggie Evans, Ronnie Turyaf and Collins on the bench, and the Celtics have been left behind in the lineup.

The Knicks played a bit like the previous Cavaliers in the first quarter of the game, Iguodala is the main controller in this lineup, his ball holding poses a great threat to the Celtics, Iguodala is a player who can shoot randomly between 80-85, once his shooting feels good, he can play an all-star performance, on the contrary, he is a defensive swingman who can pass the ball, the difference between the two is still very big, today's first brother is obviously the top version of the random 85 ability value.

2K11 just had the last player list update before the playoffs a few days ago, and the highest ability value in the Knicks team is naturally Wu Huang, as the cover character of 2K11, his ability value was adjusted to 96 before the All-Star Game, and now it has reached 97, which is only a little lower than James, the highest attribute in the league. Xiao Si's ability is 88, which is some distance from the quasi-superstar value of 90-94. Iguodala 83's stats are mainly focused on defensive attributes. The Gallinari 81's stats are mainly focused on projection.

The Knicks have a total of four players with an ability value of 80 or higher, and only the Knicks, Celtics, Bulls, Mavericks and Lakers have four players with an ability value of 80 or more in the entire league, and these are most of the favorites to win the championship.

Wu Huang wore a villain white suit today, holding a bucket of popcorn in his left hand and a large glass of drink in his right hand on the sidelines, the whole person looked very disobedient, especially the big four opposite the people were sitting there upright and cheering for their teammates, which was as leisurely as he took a sip of popcorn and a drink.

The home fans don't care whether Wu Huangshang plays or not, basically as long as he appears in the away stadium, he will definitely receive more greetings than all the players who played on the field combined.

Wu Huang himself regarded this as a manifestation of popularity, and occasionally heard the fans scolding fiercely, he would turn around and wave his hand.

Boston fans found that the more they scolded, the more angry they felt, and an old man was stunned in the middle of the game, which also became a news point reported by the media after the game, and the degree of annoying of Wu Huang can be seen.

Back on the court, the Knicks are fast-paced on the offensive end and very desperate on the defensive end, although they are missing the key link of Wu Huang, but the combination of Tony Allen and Iguodala is enough to make the Celtics' bench drink a pot.

At the end of the first half, the Knicks didn't take much effort to lead the Celtics by 11 points, Iguodala contributed 12 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, Gallinari scored 16 points and 3 rebounds, and the Knicks' three or four leaders played a performance that made their fans extremely satisfied.

Rivers kept his face black, and he wanted to replace Rondo in his heart, but the Knicks weren't worried about what a Rondo could change. This guy is a point guard who needs teammates, without the Big Three, Rondo has to lose half of his skills, and his individual offense is not much better than Alston, a point guard who can't shoot three-pointers and mid-to-long range If he can take out the Knicks, they won't be the number one in the league.

"Either you will be replaced by the Big Three, or you will have to watch us take away the victory, in short, you will be decided." Wu Huang was secretly proud in his heart, Iguodala and Gallinari were young and strong, and there would be no problem for them to finish the last game, but the Celtics couldn't let the old big three play, and replacing Rondo alone would not work, and Rivers could only admit it even if he was unwilling.

There was not much change in the lineups of the two teams in the second half, and Rivers probably wanted to open it, and he no longer even stood on the sidelines to command, and sat on the bench with the Big Four to watch the game silently. There is not much he can do as a coach now, the talent and ability of this group of players on the field are limited, these are not things he can change, as for the main team, he will definitely not be replaced, this game can be played whatever it is.

The Celtics' lineup is really problematic in terms of talent, although Green and Big Baby both scored 20+ points in the end, and Pavlovich, who couldn't get along with the Cavaliers, also scored 19 points, but in addition to proving that even marginal people in the NBA have good strength, what highlights the strength of those players who can play.

With the final score of 108-101, the Knicks won the Celtics with a set of semi-main lineups on the road, won the 67th win of the season as they wished, and became the team with the tenth record in NBA history.

Iguodala contributed 20 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists, Gallinari 29 points and 6 rebounds, Monroe 18 points and 11 rebounds, Green 14 points, Tony Allen 13 points, Reggie Evans 6 points and 15 rebounds.

The Knicks, a mix of ordinary main players and role players, can also play good statistics once they have enough playing time.

After watching this game, many Chinese fans have a thought - if role players like Danny Green and Reggie Evans come to play in the CBA, will they play 20+10+5+5 or 20+20+5?

At the moment when the final whistle sounded, the sideline camera agreed to Wu Huang, who was talking and laughing with Xiao Si, and the players on the field who were desperate for the team's 67th victory were collectively ignored.

The New York Times' Da Saby picked up his notebook in front of the TV and looked at Wu Huang, who was smiling and high-fiveing his teammates, his fingers quickly tapping on the keyboard: It's hard to imagine that Hugo will perform so well this season that the fate and pathos are similar to those of the Rockets, and the Knicks, who can be called the Doudou for 10,000 years, have completely turned over.

This year, the Knicks are no longer a pile of mud, they slaughtered the Heat, pulled out the Celtics, defeated the Magic, lowered the Bulls, and changed the theoretical Eastern Warring States script to the unity of the world, and there is a vague trend of dominance. Seeing that the juniors are so brave and good at fighting, His Majesty the Flying Man also hurriedly came forward to issue a holy message: "The leader of the New York Sect bravely crowned the three armies, quite the style of the old man, I think the big thing can be done!" Of course, it's too early to list the Knicks as the number one candidate for the championship, but then again, when the New York Emperor releases a 31+6+10+3 demonic light, even if it is as expensive as LeBron, he has to admit that the Most Valuable Player will not belong to him this year.

"Again, the Knicks are not my team alone, and a lot of people have been saying that because they've ignored that we're a good team and that my teammates are good enough to get to where we are today, and people will be more aware of their talent and ability in the playoffs." Wu Huang praised the whole team after the game, it is definitely not a bad thing to say something beautiful at this time, anyway, no one can ignore his aura and value, at this time it would be too good to take credit, but the more he praised his teammates, the more he can appear to have a good character.

"The regular season is over, but the real game has just begun. We had a good first half of the race, leading for the time being, but as with all races, only those who have the best in the back will have the last laugh. We're sober, we all know it's not time to laugh yet, and we'll only laugh when the Knicks cross the finish line first! "Wu Huang said a lot after the game, and after encouraging his teammates, he didn't forget to ring the alarm bell to the whole team." I don't think it's wrong to treat the playoffs as a marathon, we're going to have more difficulties in the next month or so than we are in the four months of the regular season, and we don't have a chance to make mistakes, the regular season and the playoffs are like Contra with thirty lives and three lives, there are too few opportunities for us to correct our mistakes, the only way is not to make mistakes. ”

Emperor Wu looked high-spirited after the game, and his speech and demeanor were quite the style of a generation of Ming Jun. Before the Knicks were eliminated, all the people who hated him could only kneel down and surrender for a while, and he, the emperor of New York, could now completely remove the word "New York" in front of him. Of course, James can protest, but the winner is king, and he has the right to protest if he wins the championship.

At this moment, domestic Rocket fans look at the Knicks, who are diametrically opposed to the fate of the Rockets, and many people have mixed tastes in their hearts, compared with the beautiful Knicks and Wu Huang, this season's Rocket Team and Yao Ming can write a "Tragic History of Space City", Yao Ming can climb to Wu Huang's feet and write a big "miserable" word!

How miserable is Team Rocket? Let's take a look at the situation of the Rockets this season: looking forward to the stars and the moon and looking forward to returning the ace Yao Ming, and it is rare to play more than 70 games without problems, it is simply the goddess of luck favoring it! But unexpectedly, at the critical moment when she was about to enter the playoffs, Lady Luck suddenly ripped off her mask and announced that the previous seventy games were just a dream, but in fact he was pretended to be the god of doom; Morey tried his best to come up with all kinds of tricks, but he couldn't fool even a big name after fishing for half a day in the summer; Adelman fought desperately to finish sixth in the West, but faced the embarrassment of the team's lack of core again in the playoffs. I believe that Yao Ming must be at home looking up to the sky and sighing: "I am destined to commit a lonely star, and I am destined to be lonely and miserable all my life, C.N.M.B!" "I don't know if he really offended any star boss.

On April 13, all the regular seasons of the 2010-2011 season were played, and a new round of playoffs will officially appear on the main stage.

But before that, there was a new batch of players who won the award. Wu Huang undisputed the title of "scoring king", Lefu grabbed the "rebounding king" from Howard, and Nash drove low and high, and finally overwhelmed Rondo to win the "assist king", and James became the "efficiency king" -

Scoring champion: Wu Huang, averaging 31.5 points per game.

Wu Huang snatched the scoring title from Durant with an average of 31.5 points per game, who only averaged 27.7 points per game this year, and no longer wants to be relegated to the bottom.

Rebounding king: Love averaged 15.2 rebounds per game.

Although the Timberwolves are an underdog, the strength of Love should not be underestimated, and he can grab 15.2 rebounds per game this season, ranking first in the league.

Assist leader: Nash, averaging 11.4 assists per game.

At the beginning of the season, Nash's performance was not as dazzling as Rondo, but as the season progressed, Nash maintained a stable form and surpassed Rondo. Nash is averaging 11.4 assists per game this season, once again becoming the assist leader.

Steal King: Wu Huang, averaging 3.2 steals per game.

Wu Huang can average 3.2 steals per game this season, ranking first in the league. It is worth mentioning that this is the first time in the NBA that after the 93-94 season, someone has averaged more than 3 steals per game again, and it is believed that this data will add a lot of points to Wu Huang's competition for the best defensive player and the best defensive team.

Block king: Bogut, averaging 2.6 blocks per game.

The Bucks center has thoroughly demonstrated his talent on the defensive end this season, and he has become an unshakable god in the Bucks' restricted area, averaging 2.6 blocks per game this season.

Double-doubles: Howard, 66 double-doubles.

Howard had a total of 66 double-doubles, the most in the league. If it weren't for a league ban, Howard's double-double could have been even higher. As for Love, who once won a double-double in 53 consecutive games, he was plagued by injuries at the end of the season and could not compete with Howard in double-double statistics.

Efficiency King: James, efficiency value 28.6

James can average 26.7 points, 7.5 rebounds and 7 assists per game this season, and he is the only player in the league with a 25+7+7 player, whose efficiency value is as high as 28.6, and Wu Huang's efficiency value of 28.4 can only be ranked second.

King of Shooting Percentage: Nene Shooting 61.5%

The Nuggets center has accurate inside shots, likes to dunk, and has a very high success rate of inside offense, becoming the player with the highest shooting percentage in the league. This season, he has shot 61.5% from the field, which is already on par with O'Neal's peak shooting percentage.

King of three-point shooting: Bonner, 45.7% three-point shooting

Bonner is on a good team, Duncan can draw defense for him, and Ginobili and Parker can make great passes for him. Bonner shot 45.5 percent from three-point range this season, narrowly beating Ray Allen to become the league's No. 1 shooting.

King of Free Throw Percentage: Curry, 93.4% Free Throw Percentage

Curry, the Warriors' point guard who has been in the shadow of Hugo, finally got a rare victory on free throws, shooting 93.4% from the free-throw line, which ranks first in the league.

Turnovers: Westbrook, 3.9 turnovers per game

Westbrook has finally surpassed Wu Huang in a certain statistic, he is still immature in the third year, he likes to play blindly and recklessly, and there are many turnovers, Westbrook has averaged 3.9 turnovers per game this season, ranking first in the league.

Foul King: Cousins, averaging 4.1 fouls per game

As a rookie, Cousins was not treated well by the judges; As an interior player, Cousins also has to shoulder the responsibility of helping the outside players plug the gunhole. In this way, it's understandable that Cousins has been fouled by a consistently high number, leading all players with 4.1 fouls per game this season.

Iron Man: Ellis, 40.3 minutes per game

Ellis became the "Iron Man" this season, playing in 82 games and averaging 40.3 minutes per game. In this statistic, no one in the league can match him.

All fans know that among these statistical honors, the three heaviest are "scoring king", "assist king" and "rebounding king".

Wu Huang is very satisfied with his "scoring king" and "steal king", and he also knows that it is a little difficult for him to win the "assist king" on this basis, because scoring and assists are two opposite statistics, one is higher and the other will be lowered, and the best of both worlds is likely to get nothing.

This season, he has already struggled to get 30+10 data, and it is difficult to increase the number of assists by 0.1 on the current basis.

Wu Huang feels that unless Nash is old and Rondo is crippled, the league's assist king no longer needs to average more than 11 times per game to qualify, then he may have the opportunity to challenge the magical performance of winning the "scoring king", "steal king" and "steal king" at the same time, which is enough to make him famous for the ages.
