Chapter 108: Why Is It So Hard to Win?

The Knicks suffered a big defeat in the first game of the new season, and the Miami Heat showed good form, Wade contributed a team-high 26 points, O'Neal Jr. had a double-double, and Beasley also scored 20 points, and they led the Heat to build a big lead in the third quarter and beat the New York Knicks at home to get the new season off to a good start.

Before the start of the game, the Heat team specially prepared for the veteran Tim Brown. Hardaway held a jersey retirement ceremony, which is also the second former heat team player to retire the jersey after Mourning.

Maybe this is the reason why the Heat team can kill three times, few teams will lose in games like this with retirement ceremonies, and a few old guys of the Knicks are very good at being people, so they naturally won't play with their lives when people hold retirement ceremonies.

The Knicks' second game was played on Oct. 31 against the Charlotte Bobcats, an underdog in the East who also lost their season opener.

Wu Huang is bound to win this game, whether the Knicks can enter the playoffs or not, mainly depends on the winning rate against teams like Bobcats and 76ers, these teams are their direct competitors, it can be said that winning one game and two games, losing to strong teams like the Cavaliers and Celtics has little impact on the overall situation.

D'Antoni's game increased the playing time of young players, but the away game made the Knicks' young players not in good shape, Wu Huang also played iron today, but Harrington exploded, and hit a quasi-final shot in the fourth quarter to help the team enter overtime.

Wu Huang scored eight points in the first overtime, but it used up all his energy, and Augustine of the Bobcats hit a late equalizer to send the two teams into the second overtime.

"It's too hard!" Wu Huang didn't expect his second game to be a double overtime. In the second overtime, he was exhausted. Not a single cent.

Bobcats' Wonder Soldier Augustin hit all four free throws before the end of the second overtime. Harrington missed a three-pointer to give the Bobcats a narrow 112-110 win over the New York Knicks after two overtime periods, giving the Bobcats their first win of the season and the Knicks on a two-game losing streak.

Wu Huang played 48 minutes today, got 18 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists, 4 steals, 2 blocks and 7 turnovers, which was the first triple-double in his career, but the team did not win, and Wu Huang couldn't be happy after the game.

The second overtime. Wu Huang's physical strength has been overdrawn, and his physical strength will not be unable to hold on to the 48-minute game, but he is still lacking in the reasonable distribution of physical strength, and the regular game time and the first overtime are too strong, resulting in the second overtime physical exhaustion.

Wu Huang's fitness is better than most rookies, but he is a 19-year-old player who entered the draft in his freshman year, and his fitness is still in the growth stage. Most of the high-pick rookies in the NBA have an average playing time of more than 30 minutes per game in their first season, and Wu Huang is already the best physical one among the rookies this year.

David. Lee had 18 points and 18 rebounds, and Harrington had 28 points and six rebounds. Larry. Hughes had 12 points and Gallinari had 16 points and five rebounds.

The Knicks lost two games in a row. Wu Huang's performance has always been good, the second game against the Bobcats, although his shooting is iron-clad, only 6 of 20 shots in the whole game, but in the first overtime he swept the team to score 8 of the 10 points, otherwise the Knicks lost in the first overtime.

"Yahoo Sports" believes that Wu Huang's outstanding performance is related to the general offensive strength and defensive weakness of the opposing players, the first game he faced Chalmers and Arroyo, the second game is Felton and Augustin, these four may not be bad at the offensive end, but there are obvious shortcomings in height, Wu Huang's height and arm span have too much advantage, plus the Knicks like to play blocking and fast breaking, to maximize the advantage of Wu Huang's height and arm span, which makes him have excellent personal data in two consecutive games.

But then again, the stats are high, but the team loses, isn't that the usual style of a brush-type player?

This kind of report is obviously black for the sake of black, but fortunately, the Knicks' bad record is generally recognized before the start of the season, so most of the media do not have such a thick skin to ridicule Wu Huang, who is not bad in personal data, and the Knicks did not expect to play good results for many years, and this season is more about training young players.

New York fans are concerned about the stats of their young players, not the team's record, so Wu Huang's approval rating is higher because he plays what the fans want to see.

The Knicks' schedule at the beginning of the season was not good, just finished playing the Bobcats on the front foot, and the next day they had to rush back to New York to face the Philadelphia 76ers, such a back-to-back schedule, and then thinking that the last game just played two overtimes with the Bobcats, the Knicks did not make a three-game losing streak to start.

"I'm feeling tired right now, it's the first time I've played this kind of high-intensity double overtime, my stamina reserves are a little bit out of place, and I'm probably going to get off the starting line-up tonight." It was early in the morning when the Knicks returned to New York, and Wu Huang said to the media at the airport with a tired face.

D'Antoni twitched his cheeks next to him, this bastard is not like this on the plane, why is it the same as just after 4P and 5P when he gets off the plane?

Wu Huang's smoke bomb really fooled the 76ers, his recovery ability does not know how good it is, although he is tired like a dog after the game, but he has recovered a lot of strength after sleeping on the plane for a few hours, and then sleeps with any girl during the day for most of the day, and at night, his physical condition has recovered to at least 80%.

The New York players were clearly tired from the game and D'Antoni once again fielded a predominantly young squad in the hope of using their energy to land a home win.

Before the game, the Knicks certainly didn't forget to hold a grand entrance ceremony for their players, who had played two regular season games and were now finally back at home, with New York fans showing their support with countless shirts and portraits of Wu Huang.

The atmosphere at Madison Square Garden was very strong today, as soon as the game began, Wu Huang led the team to a 13-0 small climax at the stadium, and the Knicks led 24-10 with five minutes left in the first quarter. The entire 76ers were blinded by the Madison Square at Square Garden......

76ers head coach Eddie Brown. Jordan didn't expect Wu Huang to not only start today. It's like taking an aphrodisiac. As soon as he came up, he shot inside and outside to let the short height of Louis. Williams was crushed and bukkake again and again.

"Sample, don't think you have two girlfriends." Wu Huang not only defeated Williams on the offensive end this time, but also gave the opponent a blood cap on the defensive end, preventing the opponent from scoring a point so far.

The video of the preseason game, Wu Huang went back and watched it several times, and even when he was playing with his sister at night, the video of the preseason game was still playing in his projector, and he already had some understanding of Williams' breakthrough habits. After the opening, there was mental arithmetic, and it really made the opponent lose face.

Williams is a little underestimated today, there are not many players in the NBA who will watch the video in private, and it is even more rare to be able to analyze something after watching the video a few times, where would he have thought that he would be so targeted by a rookie in the regular season?

The starting lineup of the Knicks today is: Wu Huang, Chandler, Gallinari, Harrington, David. Plum.

The impact of this lineup is extremely strong, and a combination of punches almost sent the 76ers away.

D'Antoni replaced Chandler and Gallinari at the end of the first quarter, replaced the veteran Hughes and Frye, who didn't play much in the last game, and the Knicks' offensive firepower did not diminish at all, and another wave of 7-2 offensive climax, which made the 76ers fall behind by 19 points at 12:31.

Williams was completely beaten up today. At 3 minutes and 10 seconds in the first quarter, he made a breakthrough layup on the offensive end that had already successfully passed Wu Huang. But at the moment of the layup, he actually shook it with a feint first, which was worried about being blocked again, but this redundant action gave Wu Huang time to make up for the defense in vain, and instead let him get a big hat under the basket, Williams has been covered by Wu Huang twice in this section.

The 76ers coach rushed to replace him, and Harrington also scored five points in the final three minutes, and the Knicks led the 76ers by 22 points at 40-18 after the first quarter and played a fantastic start.

"Damn, this time Lao Tzu even used the obstacle method, the team should win, right?" Wu Huang played the first quarter, and his physical condition was not bad today, but after playing a game, Wu Huang still felt that he was tired faster than before, and it seemed that back-to-back still had a great impact on his physical fitness, and he would not be so tired after playing a whole quarter in the past.

His thoughts haven't fallen yet, Thaddeus. Young hit two 3-pointers in a row at the start of the second quarter. Green also scored two layups, and a wave of 10-0 counterattacks instantly choked the cheers of New York fans.

"it!" Wu Huang was also stupid, all 4 consecutive shots on their side were smashed on the basket, but the 76ers' 4 shots were all hit, and the score was naturally narrowed down to 12 points.

It may sound reasonable, but the question is...... How could the Knicks make it so easy for an opponent to hit four in a row? Where did their defense go??

D'Antoni's face remained unchanged, and he called a timeout very calmly, and then replaced him with David. Lee and Harrington, aiming to strengthen the firepower on the offensive end, the Knicks' on-court lineup became: Duhon, Hughes, Harrington, Fry, David Lee.

After the two teams alternated points, Wu Huang watched his heartbeat faster off the field, and he now finally knows why New York fans habitually prepare a bottle of fast-acting heart-saving pills when they watch the game, such a game even he feels too exciting, the 22-point lead can be chased to 10 points in an instant, can it be more exciting?

The Knicks' defense, while as dregs as ever, made a lead large enough in the first quarter that they were able to maintain their lead. However, the 76ers felt very hot during this time, and D'Antoni didn't have much to do about it, Capono then hit a 3-pointer, Brand hit two consecutive baskets, and the 76ers played a 7-2 mini-climax after a timeout.

The New York fans were starting to hold their heads, and the players were scratching their heads, and the second quarter was only halfway through the game, and the score had become 46:39, and the lead had been narrowed to six points before it was noticed.

D'Antoni called a timeout again, this time the mustache couldn't stand the team's defense, but their usual training accounted for 8 percent of the offensive side, and only 2 percent of the defensive side, at this time, even if they wanted to defend, they were powerless, and the rotation between the players was always a slow beat, and the opponent only needed a simple block, and the position on their side would be messed up.

In addition to not having a complete system, the Knicks' defense also has a serious lack of training, there is no awareness of filling and responding to the players, and there is no strategy of assisting defense and pinching, and many players are not motivated enough to defend, any of these problems can make a team's defense bad, and the Knicks have all three points, and it is not difficult to explain that their defense is rated as the worst in the league.

Wu Huang's defense has always been a top existence in college, but he was assimilated by the Knicks, of course, this is not a decline in his defensive ability, but it is really just one person who does not play a big role.

But fortunately, the Knicks still have offense, Wu Huang and Gallinari are in good shape today, the Italians scored 6 points in a row before halftime, and Wu Huang also broke through Willy. Green played 2+1, and the Knicks led by 11 points at halftime, 65:54.

Wu Huang scored 18 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks in the half, and his play today was the key to the Knicks' lead. And I have to say that Yahoo Sports is at least one thing right, the current point guards in the league don't seem to be tall, and the players in Wu Huang's three games are all 180cm-185cm players, basically half a head shorter than him.
