Wu Huang now understands more and more that the so-called control of the rhythm is not limited to controlling the offensive speed at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, how to seize the commanding heights of morale and disrupt the opponent's offensive and defensive rhythm is the real king, must be able to analyze the opponent's state, especially to master the opponent's mentality, and then control and disrupt the opponent's mentality. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Hitting the opponent hard in some key offensive rounds is one of the most effective ways to influence the opponent's mentality.

Just like this time, Wu Huang forced a wonderful goal on Nowitzki's head, coupled with the previous two free throws, the Knicks' momentum has completely suppressed the opponent, and at the same time, it also made the Mavericks players a little confused, which is a great opportunity to solve the opponent in one go.

Carlisle smelled a crash at this point and hurriedly called a timeout.

The NBA head coach's timeout is to be shouted before this is about to be pushed flat, so every head coach must have a clear view of the entire situation on the court, otherwise it will really be a nest.

The difference between the Mavericks and the Heat is resilience, and the Dallas have better luck, as can be seen in this timeout.

Wu Huang thought that after scoring 4 points in a row, he could help the team play a wave of offensive climax, but he didn't expect that after returning from the timeout, the little-known Barria actually broke through and scored a goal, and what he didn't expect was that this ball was still blocked by Nowitzki, which shows that the atmosphere in the Mavericks must be very harmonious.

Barria and Terry have been a bit of an anomaly this year, and they shouldn't be able to play at the level they are at today, but their shots have always been able to get into the basket in a magical way. In the ball just now, although Wu Huang was broken through, his secondary defense was also in place, and the advantage in height and arm span allowed him to still interfere with Barria's layup, but the short point guard of Puerto Rico threw the ball in with a super difficult layup, which made Wu Huang helpless.

"I still have to attack it!" Wu Huang wanted to help his teammates find their form, but after Kidd was off, Barria's height of less than 180cm was too tempting for him, and he would hardly be disturbed too much when playing this opponent.

After the first quarter, the score was 28:25, Wu Huang was crazy on the court, but the Knicks only extended the lead to 3 points, which shows that Wu Huang's outstanding performance in the first quarter did not hurt the Mavericks, he cut 16 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in the first quarter, but such a high virtual area could not kill the opponent, it can be seen that the "Jordan Rule" that the Mavericks had to use today is still somewhat effective.

Wu Huang has encountered the "Jordan's Rule" more than once this season, whether it is used in reverse or positive use, but it is rare for the effect to be good enough. Once Emperor Wu is released to score alone, it is easy to be really killed by him alone. Blocking him with all his might, and he is likely to be killed by the rest of the Knicks. But today's Mavericks relied on a united positive attitude and tacit teamwork, at least in the first quarter, to do this task well, and they really limited the other Knicks players except for Wu Huang.

Jeff Van Gundy commented: "Determination and teamwork are important, the Mavericks' defensive approach has been used by many teams, but they had the best results today. Chandler did a good job of guarding the interior, Nowitzki's aggressive help made a big difference to his defense, Kidd blocked Hugo's breakaway lane, and Barria did a good job of keeping up close. I think it's amazing that Hugo was able to play such a great game in the first quarter with such a tacit team defense. ”

Mark Jackson also agreed with Wu Huang's performance: "Through the comparison, we can see the difference between Hugo and Westbrook, we can see that the Mavericks' defense today is full of passivity, and it has always been Hugo who takes the initiative. And in the series against the Thunder, the Mavericks' defense was more active. The gap between the two players can be seen here, Hugo is the strongest point guard on the roster, and any defense can only be passive for him. ”

"How much do you think he'll get for his next contract?" Van Gundy asked at this point.

"First of all, I don't think he's short of money. Second, there is a collective bargaining agreement limit on how much money he takes, and he will never take more than Durant and Rose. ”

Van Gundy laughed: "No, I've received word that there will be a new clause in the new collective bargaining agreement, which is called the 'Hugo Clause,' which states that players who have been elected MVP during their rookie contract, or have been selected twice as a starter in the All-Star Draft, or have been selected to the All-Star Team twice (regardless of team) are eligible to use the 'Hugo Clause' to get a contract with a maximum salary, and the league has accepted this new clause." ”

Mark Jackson quickly thought, "If that happens, then Hugo is the only rookie player who meets this qualification, so he's going to be the first person to enjoy this clause." ”

Van Gundy shook his head: "Hugo is the only one who qualifies at the moment, so this clause will be called the 'Hugo Clause', but if Durant is selected as an All-Star again as a Western Conference starter next season, then he will also meet this rule." If Hugo had been renewing his contract with a maximum salary under the old collective bargaining agreement, he would only get a big contract with a starting salary of $14.5 million; But under the "Hugo clause," he could get a big contract with a starting salary of $17.4 million. He could get an extra $20 million on his first five-year contract. You know, Dwight, Paul, Delon, and other top stars who entered the NBA earlier than Hugo will only have a starting salary for the next contract. ”

Wu Huang is naturally aware of this clause, which is a suggestion made by his agent Brandon to the league through Knicks owner James Dolan, and because the trigger conditions of this clause are relatively harsh, the owners of other teams will naturally not object. On the contrary, if one of their rookies can trigger this clause, it means that at least a superstar of Durant's caliber is too late for them to rejoice.

At the beginning of the second quarter, it was rotation time, and D'Antoni saw that the situation was good this time, so he replaced Wu Huang to rest, and then the Knicks had problems......

The Knicks are now suffering from "leader dependence", he is completely different from the Knicks who are not present, D'Antoni's improvisation style of play maximizes Wu Huang's spirituality, he can attack with the ball at will on the court, everyone has to cooperate with his position, and over time their spirituality will disappear, so when Wu Huang is not present, they don't know how to play.

The impact on Xiao Si here is relatively small, but the problem is that the Mavericks' main defensive interior has left him heavily defended, and he can't find a way to score against Chandler today. Although the boxing king's defensive skills are not very clever, he has a very keen sense of position when defending, and can always block in front of Wu Huang and Xiao Si in time after the latter, and often has the spare energy to help defend others, this kind of defensive talent is too suitable for assisting defense, in fact, his single defense is not bad, this is already a defensive interior line qualified to compete for the best defensive player.

Carlisle, after finding out that Chandler was defending Smalls well, quickly decided that he would replace Chandler as long as Smalls was present. So in the second quarter of the rotation period, Xiao Si still played very the court, and the breakthrough of other Knicks players would always meet this big spider-like guy to help defend. For a while, Chandler's presence on the court was very strong, and many New York fans were scolding this guy who went to play basketball hoop pads as soon as he was excited.

The Knicks didn't dare to go to the basket in the second quarter, and after missing a few long-range shots, Terry's three-pointer quickly overtook the difference.

D'Antoni brought on Gallinari, but Carlisle also had a defensive option to target, and although his athleticism declined, Marion, who was more experienced, was good enough to defend Gallinari.

At 10:05 in the second quarter, Wu Huang had to play again after just two minutes of rest, and the score had become 30:33, and the Mavericks went from three points behind to three points ahead in a blink of an eye.

As soon as Wu Huang came on the field, the situation changed, and Xiao Niu had people available at the other four points, but there was nothing to do about Wu Huang.

Kidd is too old, Barry is short, Terry is strong in attack and weak in defense, and no one can stop the almost incomprehensible Wu Huang.

Some black fans began to talk about it again at this time, they thought that the only reason why Wu Huang played well was that he was lucky, and he didn't meet a team with a strong point guard, otherwise where would he dance so happily.

Halfway through the quarter, Wu Huang broke through Kidd and hit a mid-range jumper to help the Knicks regain a two-point lead.

But Wu Huang, who has been fully played on the offensive end, is still unable to help the Knicks play an attack wave to get rid of the score, and the firepower output on the Mavericks' side is not low, and the Knicks' lack of defense threatens the Mavericks' offense on the defensive end, which makes him very embarrassed.

Soon, Marion cut to the basket and made a layup, which was too easy to score and was equally demoralizing.

Gallinari wasn't much better than Smalls today, he couldn't break the Hackers' defense on the offensive end, and he often slipped on the defensive end and was cut by the experienced Marion. Marion now barely shoots three-pointers, but this move makes it difficult for Gallinari to defend, and I don't know if it's because he's too good at it, or if the Italians' defense is too scum.

The Knicks' current problem is that neither Smalls nor Gallinari play, this is the experience that Carlisle summed up from the Heat, the Knicks relied on the role players in the last round, and several games were won because of this, and now the Mavericks are trying to make it impossible for people outside of Wu Huang to score easily.

But on the other hand, the whole Mavericks team is playing, they and the Heat only have the Big Three scoring, just the opposite, this team dares to play on the offensive end, even Baria dares to break through the offense in front of Wu Huang, and often can score, which makes Wu Huang even more embarrassed, it is not easy to maintain such a balance of power by his firepower alone, maybe it will be the Knicks who will be taken away directly by an attack wave at a certain time period today.

In the first half, the Knicks never made proper adjustments, and Wu Huang missed a three-point whistle before halftime, and the Knicks only led the Mavericks by one point at 51:50.

New York fans can also feel that their team's routines don't seem to be enough at the moment, don't look at them now, but it's basically a new trick to play back and forth - Wu Huang attacks with the ball, and then either shoots himself or divides the ball. If this kind of play continues, the Mavericks' defense will definitely become easier and easier, and the Knicks' old moves have been used non-stop, and they may be taken away by people at any time.

"How do I feel that this is a trap for the Mavericks?" Wu Huang returned to the locker room after the first half and saw his stats, he scored 28 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists in only one half, this kind of data is certainly good, but the team is only one point ahead, which seems to indicate that something is not right?

Wu Huang suddenly thought at this time, could it be that Carlisle knew that the Mavericks' point guard was a flaw, and since it was not easy to solve this problem, he simply didn't solve it, so he used this flaw to lure the Knicks to keep playing this. Although there is a certain danger in doing this, at least they know how the opponent will play, as long as they find a way to limit Wu Huang's scoring efficiency, they don't usually have to put too much energy into him, and the calf can put his energy into other people, as well as attack.

The most important thing is that sooner or later the Knicks will be figured out by the Mavericks, as long as this group of experienced guys completes one or two successful defenses at critical moments, they can defeat the Knicks with key shots that have collapsed in their luck this season, just like they did against the Thunder.

Carlisle really thinks so, he just needs to find a way to get his team to bite the score in the first 45 minutes, and then put the final suspense on Nowitzki and Terry. When the two played key rounds this year, it was like Lady Luck favored them, and they were always able to score some crucial goals to help the Mavericks win the match. That's what the Mavericks did when they eliminated the Thunder before, and now against the Knicks, Carlisle still plans to do the same.

D'Antoni was also aware of the problem, and at halftime consciously let Smalls and Iguodala step up their offense in the second half, and the Knicks must now have Wu Huangwai's offensive point, and only one person can score, which is not a good sign for any team.

Knicks players first-half stats: Wu Huang 28 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, Iguodala 6 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, Xiao Si 5 points and 4 rebounds, O'Neal 4 points and 2 rebounds, Gallinari 3 points.

The Mavericks' stats were much more balanced, with Nowitzki scoring a team-high 14 points, along with four rebounds and two assists, Terry with 10 points, Barria with six points, Marion with six points, Chandler with four points, Peja with three points and Kidd with three points.

In general, Wu Huang has found several opportunities to lead the whole team in the first half, but the tragedy is that every time before the climax, someone on the Mavericks' side will stand up, and the most regrettable one is that two minutes before the end of the half, he first assisted his teammates to hit a three-pointer, and then hit a three-pointer after his own steal, directly widening the difference to 7 points.

It stands to reason that this should start a wave of offensive to crush the opponent in one fell swoop, but when they turned their heads, they were thrown by Kidd The only goal scored in the first half was still a three-point goal, which made Wu Huang feel disgusted, he didn't know if the Mavericks' toughness was really so perverted, or if their luck was too rebellious.

In short, after the start of this game, Wu Huang has always had a bad feeling in his heart, so he didn't dare to relax for a moment.

In the second half, Wu Huang chose what he thought was the next strategy, he gave the ball to his teammates, anyway, he attacked the entire first half by himself and didn't help the team lead much, so it would be better to try to play an assist, let his teammates change the output to see, maybe there will be unexpected effects?

Nowitzki hit his trademark Golden Rooster solo shot early in the second half, but Smalls' seventh shot hit again, and the guy was already shooting 2-of-7 today, on par with Gallinari's 1-of-5 shooting.

Wu Huang continued to pass the ball out, and Iguodala's next breakthrough attracted the defense of two Maverick players, but the open shot was wasted again by Gallinari, and the Mavericks seized the opportunity to play a counterattack and directly overtook the score.

"Am I going to switch back to output?" Wu Huang began to hesitate, it's not okay to drop points like this, but as soon as he asked his teammates to take the output, he asked someone to change it back, so it was not good to change Hanzang if he didn't agree.

At 7 minutes and 10 seconds in the third quarter, when Iguodala scored two points on free throws, the score had reached 57:62, and the Knicks only scored six points in the first half of the quarter, and the overall score was already behind by as many as five points.

Now the facts are enough to prove that whether the Knicks can win today depends on whether Wu Huang's virtual area is enough to defy the sky, and he can't expect to win if he doesn't win five gold medals. (To be continued.) )
