The Bulls are missing Boozer on the inside, and their strength has declined, and the Knicks have set themselves the task of only winning and not losing in this game, because this season's Bulls are the most direct competitors in the Knicks other than the Celtics, and winning them one game is equivalent to winning two games against other teams.

At the beginning of the game, Wu Huang created several scoring opportunities for Stoudemire, and Rose's ability to pick and roll was the Knicks' main breakthrough today.

Wu Huang and Xiao Si don't have a good relationship, they often have some small frictions, but the two will still consciously cooperate in the game, because they are very aware of the power of the two teaming up.

The source of friction between the two is actually mostly related to Wu Huang, he will be polite to Xiao Si most of the time, but occasionally he will seem very mean, obviously planning to use Jordan's method to deal with Pippen to deal with Xiao Si, but he often forgets that there is such a thing, and occasionally when Xiao Si makes a mistake in defense or does not handle basketball well, he will come up with a sneer or two, which will make Xiao Si very unhappy.

There's no way, every time Emperor Wu has a relationship with his sister-in-law, his personality will change somewhat, and when he catches up with him, he will offend people a little when he says something. It's also thanks to his young age, Xiao Si is almost 30 years old, and his personality has matured a lot, if he met a young partner like Wei Shao, it is estimated that the relationship between the two would have deteriorated to the point of a big fight.

Wu Huang's luck has always been good, his partner is either an honest person, or an all-star after maturity, and he has not met some players with strange personalities. In fact, in the eyes of others, he himself is a wonder, Knicks players know that Wu Huang has a changeable personality, so they try to endure him when he loses his temper, it's a big deal to stay away from him at this time, don't bother with him, who calls him the most famous and strongest person in the team.

But when Emperor Wu's character is not a problem, he is really very popular. For example, now, Xiao Si has received the ball after Wu Huang attracted the defense on the inside several times, and it is easy to score under the basket, no one dislikes this kind of teammate, and Xiao Si will also feel that he did not come to New York wrong.

At 9 minutes and 20 seconds in the first quarter, when Wu Huang continuously used the block to assist Xiao Si to score, he suddenly passed a behind-the-back ball this time, and assisted Iguodala to dunk and score from the baseline to the basket, forcing Thibodeau to ask for a timeout in less than three minutes of the opening game.

With a score of 8:2, Wu Huang sent four assists in a row, and there is no one with such efficiency.

Derrick Rose still doesn't have many pick-and-roll offense against the Knicks, and his problem is that his lateral movement is a bit clumsy and his defensive footwork is not flexible. It stands to reason that Rose's athleticism is so strong that this should not happen, but it's not just that Rose's defensive footsteps are not good enough, rookies in recent years have such problems, Wei Shao, Curry and Harden's defensive footsteps are not good, and there are often situations where the opponent is shaken by a few feints, which is a problem in defensive skills.

Thibodeau's solution was to switch defenses, with Ross defending Iguodala and Bogans defending Wu Huang. He was worried that being blown up by Emperor Wu would affect Rose's attack, especially after the former's mouth took advantage, it must be gushing, in case Rose's attack is affected, the bull will kneel again today.

The Bulls attacked, and Wu Huang once again showed his value on the defensive end. In fact, judging whether a person's defense is good or not, you can know by looking at his sense of position and distance.

Wu Huang gave Rose just the right distance to shoot and break through, enough to block the shot in time, and also be able to move sideways in time to jam the opponent's breakthrough route. The most important thing is the position, no matter how Ross uses tentative steps and feints to deceive him, Wu Huang can accurately judge Rose's true intentions and adjust his position and footsteps. From a bird's-eye view, it can be seen that Ross can't break through and can only use speed to force his way, and it is difficult to take advantage of Wu Huang's defensive mistakes to make a fuss.

Sometimes Wu Huang really can't judge the opponent's intentions, so he simply gives the opponent some shooting space and forces Ross to shoot at a long distance, but the breakthrough is not even to think about it, you can shoot it, anyway, my shooting rate is stronger than yours, it's a big deal that you get one, I get two, in short, it's up to you.

Rose couldn't make the basket and passed the ball to Noah, who was playing in the high post.

O'Neal lazily mentioned the free throw line position, it stands to reason that he is standing here, Noah has no chance to break through and score, but that is O'Neal does not have to defend with his eyes, this fat man is almost two steps away, and he still hasn't kept up with Noah's breakthrough footsteps, and is dribbled to the basket by a big center, hitting the board to score the ball.

Gallinari raised his hands under the basket, indicating that he could not do anything, he was already working hard to help defend this ball, but there was a limit to what he could do in this position, Enoah's height could put the ball into the basket with just one move of his hand, and he could only do 2+1 again.

O'Neill snorted and ran to protest with the referee.

Wu Huang secretly slandered in his heart, "You are embarrassed", and said that he couldn't prevent Noah from such a big reaction distance just now, and the referee couldn't help even if he wanted to.

The big shark was pushed back by the referee with a few words, and his face was unhappy.

The referee was even more unhappy, if it weren't for his seniority, he would have made up a technical foul a long time ago.

After O'Neal was in position on the offensive end, he immediately opened his hand to ask Wu Huang for the ball.

In this case, of course, Wu Huang couldn't ignore it, but the big shark really couldn't move, Noah went around the front defense, and Wu Huang finally handed the basketball to O'Neal, but the position was far away from the penalty area.

Gibson saw the opportunity to come up to the box, O'Neal turned around, and was surrounded by Noah and Gibson in the middle, and the referee quickly blew the whistle - walk!

O'Neal slapped the basketball and was even more dissatisfied.

The Big Fat Sharks had a terrible performance today, leaking people on the defensive end and making mistakes on the offensive end, D'Antoni only let him play less than 4 minutes, and keeping him on the court could easily allow the Bulls to create a 5-on-4 situation.

Monroe performed well after he came on the court, this kid finally got the hang of it, and knew that his skills could not be improved in a short period of time, so he looked for opportunistic methods, used Xiao Si's pulling power to find shooting opportunities on the weak side, and found some rebound and unguarded shooting opportunities, as long as he could ensure that his average score per game was above 8 points, then he could make a difference.

Such a choice is very realistic, Monroe is now strengthening training is mid-range shooting and high-post strategy, his vision and passing skills are good, this is his strength, he has a certain ability to handle the ball in the high post, if he practices a reliable shooting and average-level defense, he can mix at least 10 million contracts by relying on height.

The Knicks relied on the offense of Wu Huang and Xiao Si to lead 27:25 in the first quarter, and the new season's Knicks have a lot less shots of "one person scoring continuously", Wu Huang's consecutive scoring last season was one of the highlights of New York fans, but this season, the shots of the Knicks players were deliberately staggered by Wu Huang, he rarely gave a person consecutive passes, and he consciously allocated shots.

Wu Huang always felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he didn't know what was wrong, after the team had more scorers, how to distribute the proportion of shots, which was indeed a headache.

In the second quarter, Wu Huang still played like this, starting to pass the ball to his teammates after scoring a few points, and feeding other teammates after a teammate scored a few points...... As a result, with five minutes left in the first half, the Knicks were already five points behind.

"What went wrong?" D'Antoni asked for a timeout, and Wu Huang couldn't think of anything wrong with the team for the time being, but he had a feeling that it seemed to be more difficult for the team to play an attacking wave this season, and the scoring seemed to be unsustainable?

Yes, they were leading two minutes ago, but they just couldn't pull the gap away, and in the blink of an eye, they gave their opponents a five-point lead.

The Knicks couldn't find the problem of falling behind as a team, and after the game restarted, the Knicks players' handiness continued to decline, trailing by eight points at 48:56 at halftime.

"How can you not beat it?" Wu Huang returned to the away team's locker room with a stomach full of questions.

In the first half of the game, the Knicks led the Bulls most of the time and suppressed the opponent on the court, but they just couldn't extend the advantage when they were ahead. But it was only a short period of poor form, and the Bulls opened up an 8-point gap. If the first half hadn't ended here, they would have fallen behind by double digits.

The statistics of the Knicks players are also very average, Wu Huang had 10 points, 2 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 steal in the first half, Stoudemire 10 points and 5 rebounds, Gallinari 7 points, Iguodala 6 points, Green 5 points, and Monroe 4 points.

For the Bulls, Rose had 6 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, Korver 12 points, Gibson 12 points and 5 rebounds, Rohr Deng 10 points, and Noah 6 points.

In the third quarter of the game, the Knicks players got their form back, but they still had a feeling of not being up or down, and they were always scoreless, even if they could press the opponent on the court, they just couldn't crush the opponent.

Rose came out of his way in the second half of the third quarter, scoring seven straight points to wipe out the Knicks' efforts for most of the quarter, and the Bulls regained a five-point lead over the Knicks.

Wu Huang did not rest in the third quarter, and he scored a two-point whistle in the last attack, bringing the score to 73:77, and finally did not let the team fall behind too much.

"It's not an option, and the Bulls' defense is good, but it's not going to make it so difficult for us to play." After the third quarter of the game, Wu Huang felt even more that something was wrong, and it stands to reason that this game should not be played like this.

Wu Huang did not rest in the fourth quarter, the Bulls strengthened their defense again in the fourth quarter, and the Knicks' offense was also strengthened. It wasn't until the 5th minute and 45 seconds that Korver hit two three-pointers in a row under Green's defense, and then opened the difference, and the score became 85:93, and the Knicks were about to trail by 10 points.

D'Antoni hurriedly asked for a timeout and arranged a three-point shot for Wu Huang, and the Knicks must play the next offense, otherwise the game will be explained.

After the game restarted, the Bulls' defense was completely aimed at Wu Huang, and the Knicks' three-point strategy failed, and Wu Huang transferred the basketball to the weak-side Stoudemire after attracting the defense, causing a situation where Rolle Deng was small and defended.

Smalls singled Rohr Deng with his back and missed a layup after turning, and the Knicks missed this key offense.

The Bulls' defense was completely aimed at Wu Huang at the critical stage, constantly using double packs against him, clearly not wanting him to score.

Wu Huang dribbled for more than ten seconds and found that there was no chance, although Xiao Si opened his hand to ask for the ball on the inside, but there were too many defenders around him, Wu Huang handed over the basketball to Gallinari on the weak side and asked him to play singles. But in the end, the Italian's shot also missed, and the Bulls fought back, and the Knicks trailed by 10 points.

"There's no way now, you can't throw it yourself, you can't blame me for fighting myself." Wu Huang glanced at Gallinari, who was asking him for the ball, but there was someone around the latter who was close to him, Wu Huang shook his head again, and secretly thought in his heart: "It's not that I don't pass the ball to you, who told you that you can't hit it yourself." ”

Wu Huang stretched out his hand to Collins, who had just come on the field, and the latter ran over to cover him.

After Wu Huang got rid of Bogans, he was forced into Noah head-on, scoring a goal with a difficult throw. Then facing the double bag, Wu Huang asked Collins and Iguodala to double cover him in the midfield, and the Bulls' defense was a little confused, Wu Huang accelerated to break through from the midcourt and smashed the Yellow Dragon to score two more points.

Thibodeau reacted quickly, immediately asked for a timeout, canceled the half-court wrap-and-roll defense, and changed to a chain formation on the inside and outside, which could give Wu Huang a chance to shoot from a distance, but set up layers of interceptions in the middle and in the restricted area to prevent him from easily scoring under the basket.

The Bulls' defensive execution is very strong, and the interior players' defensive footsteps are fast enough, Wu Huang can only shoot on the outside in the face of such a defense, although he can still score, but the efficiency has dropped, and it is too difficult to catch up with the double-digit point difference.

In the final two minutes of the game, the Knicks were still trailing by eight points, and this time Wu Huang was driven to the sideline by the Bulls players and had to hand the basketball to Iguodala, who came to pick up.

The first brother made an unexpected choice at this time, Xiao Si faced Gibson's close defense on the inside before, Wu Huang felt that it was easy to make mistakes in passing the ball to him, and Noah was also very close to Xiao Si, even if the ball was passed, there was no chance, so he didn't pass.

Iguodala did not hesitate at this time, and directly sent the basketball to Xiao Si, who was not in a good position.

Noah quickly came up to wrap up, Wu Huangxin said, "Look, I knew it would be like this", but Xiao Si turned a blind eye, and forced a turn to break through the inside line under the defense of two players, and finally made a defensive foul on Gibson, and the ball was scored.

"I'm wiping it!" Wu Huang felt that such a fight was too unreasonable and unscientific! But he didn't want to think about it, didn't he often attack under the double defense, and he also scored a lot of points, so why couldn't others? Why does it have to be in a reasonable position and time for someone else to receive the ball? Shouldn't a teammate's position be passed if they can't score directly?

Xiao Si's goal was very morale-boosting, and Wu Huang seemed to have something in his heart. The next offense, he still handed the ball to his brother, and this time Iguodala made a completely different choice from him, he handed the basketball to Gallinari, who was defended in front.

Gallinari singled out Rolle Deng from beyond the three-point line, the two have similar stature and technical styles, Gallinari is strong on offense and weak on defense, Rolleden is slightly worse offensively, but the defense is far stronger than Gallinari. In terms of comprehensive strength, Luo Erdeng must be more powerful. However, in a single round, Gallinari used his athleticism on the offensive end, a straight break forced overtaking, and Noah, who made a defensive foul under the basket, made two free throws, and the Knicks chased the difference to only 5 points.

Wu Huang shook his head, he still wanted to see how Iguodala would be different from his choice at this time, but he didn't notice that he passed the ball to Iguodala twice, no matter how stupid Rose was, he couldn't let him pass three times in a row, and Wu Huang himself didn't concentrate too much, this ball was broken by Rose from the middle, and the broken ball counterattack directly scored two points.

"It's over!" Wu Huang can't wait to give himself a slap, the game time is running out, and his mistake this time is fatal!

In the final 1 minute and 12 seconds, the Bulls widened the gap to 7 points with a broken ball counterattack.

The Knicks players made several three-pointers in the last minute, but they all came back to no avail, and the final score was 98:106, and the Knicks lost another game on the road, and they have lost two in a row.

In the end, Wu Huang didn't see any difference between Iguodala and his passing options, and he decided to go back and look at the games of the Pistons, Spurs, Suns and Celtics, mainly to see how the point guards of these teams passed the ball.

For the Knicks, Wu Huang had 24 points, 4 rebounds, 15 assists and 5 steals, Stoudemire 21 points and 12 rebounds, Gallinari 16 points, Iguodala 10 points, Green 8 points, and Monroe 6 points.

For the Bulls, Rose had 17 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, Korver 20 points, Gibson 18 points and 8 rebounds, Rohrdeng 18 points, and Noah 15 points and 10 rebounds.

Wu Huang still doesn't look like there are any black spots in this game, and his 15 assists in the game show that he is not not not passing, and his statistics are still the best in the game.

The media is still undisciplined, and after a team loses, it is natural to find a scapegoat, so whoever has the worst statistics is a sheep.

The New York Times reported the next day: There is no doubt that Shaquille O'Neal is the most dominant center in NBA history. When O'Neill is healthy and young, he can single-handedly give the team the strength to challenge for a championship. Even when he's old, the shark is still bloodthirsty and can still make every championship contender feel good - even if the shark can't make it in the regular season, it's great to soar in the playoffs!

But a lot of people forget the premise that sharks are really powerful, and even if they are a little older. But the problem is that there is a limit to aging, even Michael Jordan, he can't get the Wizards into the playoffs? And now the shark, how much power is left?

As we all know, 2000 was the peak of the Sharks' form, as he averaged 29.7 points, 13.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 3.0 blocks per game in the regular season while shooting 57.4% from the field. In the 1999-00 playoffs, the Sharks averaged 30.7 points, 15.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.4 blocks per game while shooting 56.6% from the field.

Then, if you use this as a benchmark, it is obvious how many success the Sharks have left - in the 2009-10 season, O'Neal averaged 12.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.2 blocks per game in the regular season, shooting 56.6% from the field; In the playoffs, O'Neal averaged 11.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.2 blocks per game. In other words, compared to 2000, O'Neal only had four successes left in the regular season and only three out of seven in the playoffs.

Obviously, 100% of the sharks can bring a championship to a team with a foundation, and a 60% shark (data from the time of winning the championship in 2006) can help a strong team win a championship, but can the sharks, who are not even capable of four successes, still make the Knicks realize their championship dream? Not necessarily, after all, the decline in strength is not a linear function, and the Sharks will get more and more injuries as they get older, and he has missed an average of 25 games a year over the past five seasons. What can the sharks, who are about to turn 39 years old, give the Knicks next year? (To be continued.) )
