Chapter 109: Left Arm and Right Arm

At halftime, D'Antoni repeatedly emphasized the defense in the dressing room, and it was obvious that the mustache was also in a hurry, and this game must not be lost again.

Now the team's problem is clearly on defense, the 76ers' outside offense has always been poor, except for Capono there are no reliable three-point shooters, Iguodala, Thaddeus. Yang includes Louis. Williams is a blacksmith with a three-point shooting rate hovering around 30%, but today in addition to Williams, the other two blacksmiths actually blossomed, and I am afraid that there are not many in this kind of defensive league.

But the defensive problem is not a problem that can be solved in a while, the Knicks are basically a newly formed team now, D'Antoni chooses to play the team's offense first, and the defense is put back, otherwise there is no offense and defense, and it is even worse at that time!

So in the early part of the season, it's hard for the Knicks' defense to improve quickly, and it will take time to improve, unless they can trade for one or two defensive giants like Iguodala, which can directly improve the team's defense, but that hope is slim.

D'Antoni is not completely ignorant of defense, the Suns' small-scale pressing, interior multi-player strangulation and oppressive mark-to-man defense have all been eye-catching, but at that time, Nash's anxious single defense ability, and Xiaosi's anxious defensive attitude covered up many positive things for the Suns. Moreover, D'Antoni's defensive arrangement on the court is indeed poor, which forms the impression that the Suns' defense is very bad, which also accounts for a large proportion of the factors, and many fans just hear others say that the Suns' defense is not good, so they follow the coaxing.

But regardless, the Knicks want to solve their defensive problems today. I'm afraid it's delusional.

After the start of the third quarter. The two teams have offense and defense against each other. The score on the field alternately increased.

Wu Huang turned on scoring mode in this quarter as he spotted Chandler and Gallinari in Iguodala and Thaddeus. Under Young's defense, it is difficult to get a chance to shoot, especially the erratic defense of the first brother, which makes the Knicks' second and third positions seem to be tied with a tight spell, and it is difficult to make a difference, at this time he must stand up and score.

The Knicks relied on Wu Huang and Harrington's playful scoring in the third quarter to barely hold on to their advantage, leading by seven points at 95-87 at the end of the third quarter.

The game of the fourth quarter has not yet begun. Wu Huang felt the speed at which he began to breathe, and knew that today's game might be in suspense. If even he is tired, many of the players in the team are probably more tired than him.

Wu Huang's physical strength is not stronger than other teammates now, but when it comes to recovery speed, he is definitely the strongest one in the team. The Knicks' players generally did not recover from yesterday's back-to-back double overtime, and if they encounter physical problems in the fourth quarter of the game, I am afraid that the Knicks will lose even the only "offense".

"Good doesn't work, bad spirit", at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Knicks came with a two-shot miss and a passing error. The score became 95:92 in a blink of an eye, and the difference between the two teams was only a mere three points.

Emperor Wu only rested for two minutes. He was reintroduced by D'Antoni, and now he is in the best physical condition in the team, which is the difference between "stamina" and "recovery speed". Wu Huang's stamina is not low, and his recovery speed is extremely fast, in fact, he is the most physical player in the team, and he can beat many stars who are known for their endurance in terms of long-term combat.

But no matter how good a person is, it is difficult to lead the team to victory, Kobe Bryant in the 81-point period is the best example, Wu Huang is much worse than Kobe Bryant at that time, and it is too early to stage the drama of riding the savior alone.

Originally, Emperor Wu also had a David. Lee assists, but the 76ers' interior combination is Damham Porter + Brand, the combination of the two may not be top on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, they can definitely limit David, who is only 205cm tall. Lee, who has only scored a pitiful 6 points until now.

With 7:20 left in the fourth quarter, Speights scored five straight points, and then Williams finally broke through Wu Huang and scored a layup, and the 76ers tied the score at 100-100.

At the critical moment, Wu Huang didn't expect that it would be Harrington who stood up to help him?

The only veteran in the Knicks four-man gang who was at the peak of his life scored 5 points on a breakthrough, and then held the ball to the basket to assist Wu Huang's three-point shot, and Harrington actually led the team to a round of 12:2 counterattack climax.

"Well done!" Emperor Wu's impression of Harrington changed, and he took the initiative to reach out and high-five.

Harrington didn't give him a good look, but he reached out and touched him anyway.

Seeing this, Wu Huang suddenly had a lot of thoughts in his heart, he found that he had a lot of things that he had not done mature enough, and the Knicks' Gang of Four was not monolithic, especially a player like Harrington, who sat in the corner all day long, and loved to put on a stinky shelf, and the relationship with the other three was not good. Considering that he has also frequently reported discord with his teammates in the Warriors and Nuggets, it is enough to show that he is not good at handling interpersonal relationships.

Harrington is a typical high school rookie, such players enter the NBA too early, often immature, after entering the NBA, under the bullying of old players, they will form a kind of self-protection deformity, personality will also change, they will become more and more indifferent, unwilling to contact and communicate with teammates, and unable to learn how to deal with interpersonal relationships, especially after the improvement of football skills, these players will become a cancer of the team.

The league later banned high school students from participating in the draft, just to prevent more such high school students, like James and Howard, there are too few high school players who become the core of the team as soon as they enter the NBA, most high school students have to stay up for a few years to get ahead, but the work of these years is enough to change a person's personality.

Wu Huang now thinks that Harrington is almost 30 years old, such an age should have matured, maybe he doesn't want to wander around anymore, but the character and habits he has developed for a long time make him not take the initiative to bow to Wu Huang, if Wu Huang can put down his posture at this time and take the initiative to contact Harrington, maybe he can make this strong player become one of his right-hand men.

"That's right, David. Lee is my left arm, Harrington can be my right arm. Then the team's chemistry will quickly improve a lot. I should take the initiative to reach out to the veteran next. Emperor Wu had an idea in his heart. At the end of the fourth quarter, he suddenly handed over the ball, handed the basketball to Harrington, who was in good shape, and went to run without the ball himself, actively cooperating with the opponent.

Al. Harrington is a very versatile player, he can play in the number three or four position, he is proficient in a variety of offensive means in both positions, and he is very athletic. He was considered a talented player until he was 25 years old, but he never played real star-level statistics.

This is related to his character, but just like Wu Huang thought, the 29-year-old Harrington has reached a fork in the road in his life, and his long-term wandering career has given him the intention to actively seek change, but he himself does not know how to change? He didn't meet a coach who was good at stewing chicken soup for the soul, and he didn't meet a teammate who was a true leader.

At this time, Emperor Wu took the initiative to put down his body to cooperate with him, and Harrington, who was in good shape today, naturally took the lead, and broke through the face frame and attacked with his back in turn. The 76ers were struggling for a while.

If it were a few years ago, Harrington would have attacked with the ball on his own. There won't be much else to think about. But now, part of his attention has always been on Wu Huang, when the 76ers wrapped Harrington twice in a row, Wu Huang used his ghostly running to create open shooting opportunities, Harrington's pass also arrived at the right time, Wu Huang's accurate three-pointer fell into the 76ers' basket in a row, and the Knicks hit a 6:0 again, and the difference was instantly expanded to 15 points.

New York fans secretly said "It's too TM exciting", and many people hurriedly took out two quick-acting heart-saving pills and swallowed them to prevent the Knicks from being hit 10:0 or something in the blink of an eye......

It's been a long time since the 76ers went scoreless. Jordan hurriedly asked for a timeout.

Wu Huang and Harrington bumped their chests before coming off the court, and this was the first time they had played such a hearty combination.

"Cast beautifully!"

"It's beautiful!"

The two of them said in unison, and then they both laughed.

"Laugh at you sister!" Emperor Wu smiled happily on his face, but his heart darkened, and he secretly thought: "Lao Tzu will use you as Odom in the future, let's count you as the third master, I will always give you some ball rights, but don't expect to play like this in every game." ”

Wu Huang will have a big brain, and he has already thought about how to distribute the ball.

Originally, he wanted to occupy most of the ball and then distribute it to David. A small part of Lee, the others just need to run out of the open space and wait for him to pass the ball.

But as the regular season began, Wu Huang found that this was not the case, and there had to be another offensive point in the team that could hold the ball to help him share the burden.

"5-2-2-1, that's probably a good way to distribute the ball." Wu Huang decided to control fifty percent of the ball himself this time, and then distribute it to David. Lee and Harrington each have two percent, and the rest of the players make up the last percent. Of course, the specific method has to be fine-tuned according to the opponent in each game.

D'Antoni must be angry to know what Emperor Wu is thinking at the moment, he has never heard of the ball being distributed in this way? Also, with 50% of the ball, Wu Huang really dares to think that LeBron, the biggest ball bully in the NBA. James also has less than 50% possession, and he wants to become the No. 1 ball leader in the NBA.

With six minutes left in the game, the Knicks led by 15 points, and this advantage had to be changed to other teams, and they basically won it.

However, New York fans are not sure of anything, they have not tried to be chased back for 20 points in 6 minutes, and it is simply trivial to be chased back for 15 points.

However, the 76ers are really in trouble at this time, they are not a strong team, the explosiveness in scoring is limited, and if they want to chase points, they must block the Knicks' offense, otherwise they will not be able to catch up with such a big point difference.

But Harrington, the non-trivial, dual-energy peak, Thaddeus. Yang went to defend, but his height was not enough, and Blanton defended and his footsteps couldn't keep up.

After the game restarted, Harrington's offense disrupted the 76ers' defense while giving the rest of the Knicks plenty of opportunities to run.

After Wu Huang entered the NBA, he has not yet shown his running skills, but in fact, this ability is his first awakening skill.

Today's run, the 76ers players were not prepared at all, only to see a thin yellow figure constantly shuttling and running on the court, and the continuous emergency stop and reverse run was like thunder. Aaron possessed the body, and Wu Huang's strange running route made it easy for him to get a calm opportunity to make a move.

At 3 minutes and 45 seconds in the fourth quarter, Wu Huang received a message from David this time. Lee hit another three-pointer on the inside, his eighth three-pointer of the game and his fourth in the fourth quarter.

With a score of 124-106, the Knicks were adding points as fast as they were dropping points, and before they knew it, they were already leading the 76ers by a full 18 points.

New York fans and D'Antoni are finally relieved now, this time they shouldn't be caught up again, right?

The fans in the stadium and Wu Huang, who raised three fingers, raised their arms together and celebrated their first victory of the new season with great excitement!

The 76ers also knew that they were out of play, and they shot a few three-pointers in a desperate struggle, but they played normally, and none of them scored, and the game was completely over.

The final score was 130:112, and the Knicks scored 130 points in the fourth quarter of the game today. (To be continued.) )
