"How many points have I already scored?" Wu Huang asked David Lee before the free throw.

"It's 43 minutes." David Lee glanced at the big screen, on which the huge "43" hung on it, to say that Emperor Wu couldn't see it, it was really talking nonsense with his eyes open.

Wu Huang grinned, slapped the ball three times in a row, and quickly threw the basketball......

"Whew", the first penalty hit steadily!

Wu Huang's free throws are very simple, he slaps three times with his right hand, and he doesn't need to aim to throw the basketball by feeling, which is very chic and neat, and the shooting rate is not low.

During this time, his free-throw shooting percentage has been on the rise and is now close to 87 percent, making him the most consistent player on the Knicks.

Wu Huang high-fived his teammates after hitting the first free throw, and the second free throw was easily hit again, and his personal score has risen to 45 points.

"There is hope!" Wu Huang glanced at the game time, there were 49 seconds left, the score was 114:109, they led by five points, and the Heat needed to steal first and then quickly execute the foul tactic.

The Heat immediately attacked the frontcourt after serving, and the Knicks players continued to use full-court pressing to delay the opponent's offense, although Wu Huang at this time hoped that the Heat could complete the offense faster, but it would not be good if it was too obvious.

Wade easily shook Wu Huang from outside the three-point line and burst into a mid-range jumper to score two points.

D'Antoni applauded on the sidelines, signaling that Wu Huang had done a good job, and that he would rather give his opponent two points than let his opponent shoot three points at this time.

Iguodala and Frye immediately walled Wu Huang in place, covering him to catch the serve in the backcourt.

D'Antoni was also on the sidelines ready to call a timeout when the team couldn't serve, except for Wu Huang at this time. None of the Knicks players are going to pick up the ball. They want to help Emperor Wu get more points. Then make sure the Heat players foul him.

Of course, the Heat players also knew the Knicks' plans, and Wu Huang was surrounded by the Heat team with two people on two consecutive reverse runs and couldn't catch the basketball.

D'Antoni immediately called for a short timeout before the team violated the rules for five seconds, and they now have a long timeout to call.

"Swing a long snake formation!" D'Antoni specially arranged a catch-and-shoot tactic for Wu Huang during this timeout, Frye's small bamboo pole was replaced, and the Knicks changed a muscular male lineup, which was to help Wu Huang block defenders.

After the timeout, the Knicks players stood in a line.

The referee's whistle sounds. The Knicks players exploded in all directions, and Wu Huang made a quick stop and ran back, using the double cover of Harrington and Iguodala to run out of the receiving space, and after receiving the basket, he turned around and broke through to the basket.

The Heat players patronized to stop Wu Huang from receiving the ball, and the inside line was empty, and Wu Huang easily went to the blue to score the ball.

"47th point!" The Madison Square Garden Arena once again resounded with the shouts of the New York fans, and Wu Huang is now only three points away from the youngest 50+ record.

After Wade received the serve this time, he didn't wait to rush to attack, he slowly dribbled past the front court, and then slowly organized the attack.

Wu Huang felt that something was wrong, and the Heat wanted to turn defeat into victory at this time. You have to cherish every second, but it's obviously not like that!

The Heat's offense took a full 20 seconds to complete. Cook's final strong three-point shot was missed, and the game was decided.

"Hell, I'm not done yet." Wu Huang saw that the team was in control, but he was in a hurry, he rushed to grab the rebound himself, and then quickly attacked the frontcourt.

Although the Heat players defended him tightly halfway, they no longer fouled him, which allowed Wu Huang to dribble the basketball to the enemy half court.

There was a cheer from the New York crowd as Wu Huang grabbed the 10th rebound from David Lee, who has already recorded his fourth triple-double of the season, far surpassing last season's triple-double king LeBron James in the triple-double rankings.

Wu Huang decisively hit a shot from outside the three-point line amid the cheers of the New York fans, and his quick three-point shot failed to help him score the 50th point, and this goal might have been scored if he had chosen two points.

The New York fans first erupted in sighs, followed by even louder boos!

Of course, these boos were not directed at Wu Huang, after the Heat players won the rebounds, they actually gave up the offense, and the whole team except Wade stayed in the backcourt.

Wade rolled the basketball to the front court and slowly followed behind, apparently giving up the game.

The New York fans immediately booed the Heat, the Knicks players looked at each other when they saw this, there were 23 seconds left in the game time, the Heat made such a move to obviously give up the game, of course they were embarrassed to grab the ball again, no one in the NBA has ever done this.

Wade was particularly obscene, and he deliberately rolled the basketball in the direction of Wu Huang.

Soon, Wu Huang looked at the basketball that slowly rolled in front of him, and his heart was worse than eating a pound of flies!

"Nima! Even if I steal this ball, who can do anything to me? Although Emperor Wu was roaring angrily in his heart, he was still embarrassed to move his feet, otherwise he would really become a big joke.

"Merry Christmas, I also want to ask you a question, how does it feel to win on Christmas Eve?" Wade was smiling as he passed by, as if he was congratulating Emperor Wu on his victory in the Christmas war, but the latter just wanted to vomit blood at this time!

Wu Huangtie's face was blue, his face twitched, and he said: "It's nothing, I'm still young, sooner or later I can get 50+, 60+, or even more......"

Wade nodded with a serious face: "I don't doubt that you can do it, but it's a pity that you missed the record today, it's a pity." ”

Wu Huang laughed angrily, suddenly picked up the basketball that rolled to his feet, stood in place and smiled at Wade: "It doesn't matter, I still have 60+ and 70+ records to break, thank you for the steal today." ”

Wade was dumbfounded, and then he couldn't cry or laugh, he didn't expect Emperor Wu to come to this trick.

The big screen at the scene immediately released the subtitle of Wu Huang's steal +1, and the New York fans reacted at this time, and there was a burst of laughter in the Madison Square Garden.

The whistle sounded quickly, Wu Huang put down the basketball and hugged Wade, and the two then smiled at each other, not only did not have a grudge, but a feeling of sympathy.

They obviously didn't take the conflict seriously in the game. They can tell the difference between on and off the field. Emperor Wu's trash talk without dirty words actually doesn't make much revenge. Even if the opponent was angry at the time, he quickly forgot that everyone was a professional player, and Jordan's spraying method was more excessive than Wu Huang's, and the popularity of the helper was not bad.

Wu Huang finally failed to complete the 50+ task today, he knew the difficulty of Jennings's 55-point game, although this season's Golden State Warriors are far inferior to the Heat, but it is still not so easy to cut 50+. And it takes a certain amount of luck.

"Fortunately, there is a consolation prize!" Wu Huang looked at his triple-double data, and the game was also won, which was finally a little comforting, and his 47 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists, 5 steals and 1 block today can be regarded as his current representative campaign.

A high-profile Christmas battle between the Knicks and the Heat ended in victory for the New Yorkers. The game was extremely hot, with technical fouls, clashes, and verbal battles abounding, but there was no large-scale brawl in the end, and the scene of Wade and Wu Huang talking and laughing after the game also satisfied the league officials.

Spoelstra's first words in an interview after the game were: "It was a really frustrating game for us. The Filipino then also talked about a couple of skirmishes during the game. I've never seen them react so violently, maybe that's the atmosphere of a big game, it's hard to stay calm in such a fierce game. But I'm glad they didn't touch the line, and the violence on the pitch is something we hate. We can quarrel, but we don't resort to violent conflict to solve problems. ”

Wade's words in the post-game press conference are worth pondering, and the Flash seemed to have something to say, saying: "You can never be complacent in this league, you have to motivate yourself to keep going. Whatever accolades you've won before, that's a thing of the past, and if you want to stay at the top of the league, you'll have to keep improving yourself and adjust your roster, just like the Lakers and Celtics did. ”

At the press conference of the Heat team, there were not many media, and the Knicks who won today were the protagonists, and most of the reporters flocked to the Knicks' press conference hall.

Commenting on the victory, Wu Huang said in an interview: "I'm not surprised at all, we know very well that each of us is not inferior to our opponents when we are on the court. The Heat are the top middle team in the league today, they are a playoff team, so this game is a good litmus test for us to see if we can play the playoffs. ”

Later, Wu Huang was asked by a reporter again, did he not score 50 points today, was he unwilling?

Wu Huangqiang smiled: "I would like to say that the most important thing is to win the game, but in fact, I really regret that I didn't get 50+ points. Wu Huang deliberately sighed when he said this, "There are many times in this game that I want to ignore so much, and score 50 points first." Yes, I've always wanted to do that, and I wanted to score 50 points more than a team win. But every time I really wanted to do that, my sanity and my education told me that I should have won first, and that was the right thing to do, and I think it was my intellect that forced me to make the right choice today. ”

The on-site reporter listened to Wu Huang's words and felt very fresh, few players answered questions like Wu Huang, most players will use "game first, friendship second", or "team first, individual second" such formulaic answers, this may be what makes Wu Huang different.

With the Knicks' win over the Heat, the team's record improved to 17-12, resurpassing the Heat to move up to fifth in the East, while closing the gap to the fourth-placed Hawks.

New York fans are satisfied with their team's current standings, of course, it is best to surpass the Hawks to get fourth in the East, as for the top three, they will definitely not be able to rush into the top three this season, but if they can take advantage of the home court in the first round and face the Atlanta Hawks in the playoffs, then the Knicks still have a good chance of winning and entering the second round.

That's the new goal for New York fans right now, and it's a goal that's one level higher than "getting to the playoffs" some time ago, and they're now going to want to go to the second round.

Shortly after the Knicks' victory over the Heat, the New York media reported that the half-month-long trade was finally completed, in which the Knicks paid Larry Hughes, Jeffries, Bill Walker, a 2012 first-round pick, and Tracy McGrady from the Houston Rockets.

The New York Times reported the next day that they thought the Knicks were too expensive to trade Maddy, but the deal was likely to have a leg up.

That said, the Knicks are likely to put Maddy back on the shelf in half a month and trade the former superstar for some useful players to find more help for Hugo, who just had his fourth career triple-double and season.

Da Sabi's view is novel, and he also lists a number of trade targets, such as the Heat, whom they just fought against, and the most likely Detroit Pistons.

That's right, the Pistons now have a record of only 10 wins and 19 losses, and the former Five Tigers are now only Prince and Hamilton who still have some combat power, but these two are not young, and they add up to about the same salary as Maddy, and they are special players with great limitations, which must be the target of a clean up for a team that aims to rebuild.

Recently, there was news in Motor City that the Pistons are considering cleaning up the contracts of Hamilton and Prince in preparation for next summer, and Maddy, who was traded by the Knicks, can swap players with the Pistons to achieve a win-win situation.

Prince's contracts with Hamilton both expired in the summer of 2011, which is why the Pistons want to trade them, keeping them and the Pistons won't have room to catch big fish next year.

The Knicks don't care, and of course they won't have both, and the only one who is suitable for the Knicks is Prince, and such a contract is just the right way for them to squeeze the value of the little prince.

Prince's $10 million contract won't drag down the team's salary space, and James Dolan and D'Antoni aren't ready to compete for James next summer, so they just need to leave $18 million in headroom to recruit Smalls or Bosh.

The Pistons' youngest tiger is actually almost 30 years old, but his competitive form remains good, and Prince should not decline much until his contract expires in 2011, at least until his contract expires in 2011, and the Knicks can immediately improve the team's overall defense.

Think about it, an outside defense composed of Wu Huang + Iguodala + Prince, even if there is no excellent defensive system, the player's own defensive ability alone is not something that ordinary teams can penetrate. If they get another one next year, they will have the strength to compete for the championship next season. (To be continued.) )
