Chapter 176: Odds
Halfway through the first quarter, Wu Huang was always drilling around the court, and his assists and rebounds had increased to 2, but the score was still zero. The Lakers will send someone to wrap up wherever Wu Huang goes, and although this gives the other Knicks players a lot of opportunities, they still insist on wrapping it.
"You're like a chicken in our pursuit!" Kobe Bryant chased after him for a long time and couldn't help but say a trash word.
"'Do you know what you're like? Add a tail and you'll be a lost dog', do you hear? I'm a little angry when you say that, but what you're saying now only makes me feel ridiculous. If you don't know how to talk trash, don't say it, you dare to make an axe at this level, and I don't want to fight back if you make it. Wu Huang's words made Kobe Bryant want to vomit blood, and the corners of his mouth twitched several times, but he couldn't say anything to fight back.
Kobe Bryant was furious in his heart, and this time the defense took the initiative to change the defense of Wu Huang, and also reached out to poke the ball from time to time.
"I look at you, don't you want to use foul language?" Wu Huang dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and Kobe's interception allowed him to break through directly, but he deliberately didn't do it, but stopped to look at Kobe Bryant, whose face was already red, and teased: "That's too low-level, don't say foul language, otherwise your life's achievements will be limited to this." ”
“FXXX!” It's strange that Kobe Bryant can still hold back, as soon as the swear words come out, Emperor Wu disappeared from his eyes in the next second.
Bynum's assistant defense was a step slower, and Wu Huang deliberately hit him, and the referee immediately sounded the whistle to block the foul.
Wu Huang threw the basketball at the same time as the whistle sounded, and with such a casual shot, the basketball actually fell hollow into the ball frame.
“Who-We-Are?” After Wu Huang entered the NBA, he rarely shouted this sentence again. But now he's the captain. Morale-boosting words must be said. So this phrase that he is quite classic at the University of Southern California was picked up again.
"We are the winners!"
"We are champions!"
"We're New Yorkers!"
Wu Huang's shot greatly boosted the team's morale, and the Knicks also led by four points at 16:12.
Kobe Bryant was obviously annoyed, and Wu Huang's next defense deliberately switched defenses with Iguodala. It's not that his defensive ability is better than that of a brother, but he knows that Kobe Bryant will have emotions in his heart when facing him, and there is a greater chance of affecting his shooting percentage.
The Zen master saw Kobe Bryant singled Wu Huang twice in a row on the sidelines, and immediately called a timeout to let the boss calm down.
Kobe Bryant is also in his thirties, and he has replaced Kobe Bryant five years ago, and at this time he is angry. No one wants him to calm down, if he can't cut three or forty points on Emperor Wu today, the boss will definitely not give up, but now he can calm down a little bit, which is already a great progress.
Wu Huang was too lazy to compete with Kobe, he knew that even if he really couldn't score double-digit points, it would not be so embarrassing to face the Lakers and Kobe. At the end of the day, he's just a rookie, so he doesn't need to be too nervous at all, so he can play better with his abilities.
"Am I ashamed to lose to him?"
"Of course there's no shame!"
"So. What are my odds of beating him? ”
"Not much, but if you can stay absolutely calm. At the same time, make your opponent lose their cool, and you have a good chance of completing the following tasks! ”
"Cheers!"
Sometimes, when Emperor Wu can talk to himself, he will feel that there is another voice in his head talking to him, and sometimes he will scold himself.
It sounded ridiculous, and he knew it was schizophrenia.
"Yes, I must be sick, but it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter to me anyway." Emperor Wu quickly comforted himself, still talking to himself.
In the first quarter of the game, Kobe Bryant was always in a semi-sane state, and Wu Huang did not completely let him lose his cool, but Kobe's desire to attack was obviously too high, and he played the whole first quarter and scored 11 points on 4-of-9 shooting.
Wu Huang was a little too calm in the first quarter, except for some expressions when he talked trash to Kobe, at other times, his face has been cold, whether he breaks through himself or is broken through, he won't even move his eyebrows, especially when shooting and passing on the offensive end, his calmness is really cool, no wonder it can attract so many female fans.
When facing a star whose strength is obviously stronger than himself, Wu Huang will fall into this state of absolute calm, and his play becomes extremely reasonable, like an incomparably sophisticated instrument.
Such a Wu Huang can play 100% of his ability in the face of adversity, which is why he will not lose too badly against superstars, as long as he can play to his full ability, no one or any team can limit him to less than 10.
Sometimes, Emperor Wu will take advantage of the opponent's carelessness to counterattack, the reason is that he will not be affected by the opponent's strength and the unfavorable environment.
Is it good to play against the wind? This is the biggest measure of a star's value.
In fact, this is the importance of mentality, most of the rookies in the NBA will even tremble their hands and feet when facing Kobe and James, how can they show their strength, it is good to be able to play half of the usual level.
And once he encounters abuse, Emperor Wu will immediately switch to another mode - he will become a bully, insatiable, will desperately attack the opponent's weakness, and spare no effort to brush data...... At this time, Wu Huang will even exert more than 100% ability, because the opponent is under the headwind, and he usually plays worse and worse in his obscenity, which makes him stronger and stronger.
The so-called tailwind game is not that your own ability has become stronger, but that the opponent's performance has deteriorated when the wind is upwind.
"Playing a team like the Lakers, I definitely won't be able to get a high score, it seems that if you want to break the 50+ record, you have to start from the weak team!" Wu Huang played the first quarter and found himself scoring only 5 points, and he knew that he was unlikely to break the scoring record against a strong team, and he had to meet a weak team with a flawed point guard to have a chance to accomplish his goal.
"Weak team + flaws in the point guard + good feeling, I have to meet these three conditions to get what I want." When Emperor Wu was resting off the field, he was still thinking about his record-breaking.
The score of the first quarter was 29:25. The Lakers are better than the Knicks overall. Even if Kobe Bryant is stuck in a single state today. The Lakers still aren't too far behind, and as long as they don't play too much, the Knicks don't have much of a chance.
But if you ask Phil Jackson what his chances of winning are now, he'll tell you "50," because the Lakers like to die on their own, and a 10-point lead isn't very reassuring.
In the second quarter, Wu Huang and Kobe Bryant were both replaced to rest, and there was a five-minute bench battle on the court!
The intensity of this round of the battle was even more intense than when the main force was present. The rhythm of the Lakers was completely brought up by the Knicks, and the two teams attacked against each other, and ran against each other!
In the end, by the time Wu Huang and Kobe Bryant returned to the court, the score had become 40-33, and the Knicks extended their lead in the rhythm they were better at.
After the core of the two teams returned, the pace of the game slowed down slightly, and the Knicks' fast break could no longer be as they wanted, and the game fell into a long stalemate, with neither side being able to play an attack wave.
4 minutes and 30 seconds in the second quarter. Wu Huang scored 5 points in a row on the head of the old fish, and the difference was stretched to double digits.
"Madison Square Garden" was detonated in an instant! Wu Huang then waved his hand at the Lakers players. Signaling that he had scored in double digits, it took less than half a game.
"Again, what did you say before the game?" Of course, Wu Huang wanted to launch a group of ridicule at this time, his words were aimed at the whole Lakers team, and the cheers in the arena were about to break through the roof of the arena and reach the sky!
Wu Huang's words were tantamount to making everyone in the Lakers players take a slap in the face, and Kobe's anger was especially strong, such a mockery completely ignited the boss's small universe!
Two points ...... Quarter ...... Six...... Kobe Bryant used his various offensive means to score points on the heads of Iguodala and Wu Huang in a row, an angry Kobe Bryant either killed the enemy or killed himself, Wu Huang and the Knicks were obviously not very lucky today, Kobe Bryant shot four shots after being taunted by Wu Huang, and led the Lakers to a 13:2 attack wave in one fell swoop.
Wu Huang and Iguodala looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed, they just wrapped Kobe's fifth shot together, but they were still twisted by the boss and threw the ball in.
Bryant lost his balance after scoring and slipped backwards, but he made a gesture of pulling a gun in his hand, and his provocative gaze also looked at Wu Huang.
Wu Huang immediately turned his head away from Kobe's provocation.
The score is 44:48, the Lakers have overtaken the score, D'Antoni called two timeouts in the previous minute, but it couldn't stop Kobe Bryant's hot hand.
"You said before the game how much you want to limit my shooting percentage?" Kobe Bryant followed Wu Huang closely on the defensive end, today the boss has taken the initiative to defend him many times, everyone knows that Kobe's competitiveness has flareed up again, and his biggest goal today may not be to win, but to blow up Wu Huang, the All-Star vote king.
"Before the game is over, you put away the gun, I want to see if you can throw the next ball again?" Wu Huang continued to lure Kobe Bryant to shoot, and he now feels good, so the Lakers overtook the score. But the Lakers players haven't touched the ball much for two minutes, and if they continue, when Kobe Bryant feels cold, the other Lakers players will probably not be able to continue the offensive firepower, and that's when they will have the opportunity to fight back.
It's a pity that this opportunity for counterattack, Wu Huang didn't find it until the end of the first half, and the Lakers led the Knicks by 55 points at halftime.
If you ask the Zen master how sure he is of winning at this time, the latter will answer: "4 percent!" "It's less certain to win than when you were down in the first quarter.
The Lakers' game is like this, if they fall behind in the first half, the Zen master will feel more sure of this game, and the most feared is a small lead in the first three quarters, then the Lakers will make a mistake in the fourth quarter, and it is likely to be taken away by the opponent in a wave.
Bryant scored 24 points in the first half, Artest 10, Gasol 10 and Bynum 5.
Wu Huang had 14 points, four rebounds and five assists, Gallinari had 12 points and five rebounds, David Lee had 10 points and seven rebounds, and Iguodala had eight points.
David Lee scored four straight points at the start of the third quarter as the Knicks narrowed the score.
Bryant continued to maintain his high desire to attack, also scoring four points in a row, Artest hit a successful 3-pointer, and the Lakers stretched the gap to eight points at 62:54.
The Lakers played easily in the third quarter, and the offensive end was led by Kobe, who was still hot, and the score was getting higher and higher, but they were also relaxed, and they also let the Knicks continue to score points on the defensive end.
Wu Huang continued to maintain reasonable individual shots in the third quarter, and he already ran the most distance on the court, and surpassed the second-ranked player by as much as 20%.
It can be said that Wu Huang never stops when he is off the ball, he is always moving on the field.
This also made many media misestimate Wu Huang's physical strength, and there were very few players like Wu Huang who played time and ran distance in the first season, so they thought that Wu Huang's physical strength was also better than other rookies.
But in the 2K10 game, Wu Huang's ability rating has only just improved to 81 after he was elected an All-Star, and he is currently ranked behind Steve Nash and eighth among all point guards in the league.
Obviously, Wu Huang's ability value in 2K10 is low, and Devin Harris, who was defeated twice by him in the Nets, still has 80 ability value after the last player list update, only 1 point less than him, so 81's ability value is obviously not the true embodiment of Wu Huang's strength, and the Yankees are much harsher on him.
Although Kobe's performance today is above Wu Huang, the Knicks have not been opened too much gap by the Lakers, and the Lakers finally widened the gap to 12 points at the end of the third quarter, but Wu Huang scored 4 points in a row to lead the team to play a round of 10:2 small climax, and narrowed the gap again.
With one minute left in the quarter, the Knicks trailed by four points at 78-82, Gallinari followed up with another 3-pointer, and the Knicks trailed by just two points at 83-85 after the first three quarters.
"You've got 33 points, but we're only two points behind!" Wu Huang's last attack in the third quarter was actively defended by Kobe, this time he didn't bargain on Kobe, and shot a three-no-stick, but he took the lead in his mouth!
"You're still behind, and you're going to do it until the end of the game!" Before Kobe Bryant's words were finished, he found that Wu Huang turned around and left him with the back of his head, not listening to him at all.
"Damn, you're so rude!" Kobe Bryant was even more angry in his heart, he performed so well today, but there was not much joy in his heart, he had never thought that Emperor Wu would be so annoying.
Wu Huang had a good relationship with Kobe before, so he was naturally embarrassed to use trash talk to deal with him, but Kobe Bryant has turned his face first, and Wu Huang will be a fool if he is polite.
The Zen master is still not too sure about this game, and in Kobe's good state, let's have a sixty percent chance of winning.
"I don't have to rest, I'm going to beat them!" Bryant rejected the Zen master's idea of giving him a two-minute break in the fourth quarter, asked to go straight on the court, and played the final quarter.
Wu Huang was resting peacefully in the field, he must rest for two or three minutes, and his recklessness can only achieve the opposite effect.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Kobe Bryant was completely handed over to Iguodala to deal with, and the first brother's defense was already in place today, but Kobe's hand was too good to let him score so many points, and Wu Huang didn't believe that his hand was so hot for the whole game!
It's just that the boss can really continue the state for a whole game, this is one of the gaps between Wu Huang and Kobe Bryant now, he doesn't have such a strong continuous firepower output as Kobe.
After the start of the final quarter, it was Kobe Bryant who scored 4 points alone, and he led the team to start the game with a 7-2 counterattack, and the Lakers led 92-85.
Wu Huang was a little anxious, and the two teams then scored 4 points each, but Gasol suddenly exploded, facing David Lee to score 5 points in a row, and in the 9:04 mark, the Lakers led by 10 points at 99:89.
D'Antoni immediately replaced Emperor Wu, and as soon as Gasol's side scored, the Zen master now has an 80% chance of winning. (To be continued.) )
