Chapter 140: 44 points in a single section
"We're going to give them their 19th game losing streak today!" Wu Huang is in a good mood today, although this mentality of taking victory as a bag before a fight is not worth advocating, but there are really not many teams in the entire league that do not have this mentality when facing the Nets.
"That's right, it's time for us to end our losing streak." Gallinari's eyes lit up today, his performance during the three-game losing streak was terrible, his shooting percentage was a mess, and he didn't know how many passes Wu Huang wasted. However, it is normal for a young goalscorer like him to be inconsistent, and Ray Allen cannot guarantee that he will be consistent throughout the season.
After the Knicks players played, Wu Huang searched for a long time and did not find Taylor Swift, who had just returned to New York last night, but found a bunch of New York fans with paper bags on their heads, all of which had the number "19" written on them, and the intention was self-evident.
The Nets are indeed on a 19-game losing streak today, they only have eight players to play, and it's another back-to-back, and the state can be imagined.
Knicks starting lineup: Huang Wu, Larry Hughes, Iguodala, Channing Frye, David Lee.
Nets starting lineup: Devin Harris, Courtney Lee, Chris Douglas Roberts, Josh Boone, Brook Lopez
D'Antoni put Hughes in the starting lineup again this game, and he didn't just start Hughes this game, which will be the same arrangement before the All-Star break.
The captain of the Knicks is now the most desired target of the mustaches, and it is naturally best if he can exchange it for a few instant combat power, and if he can't get it, he must find a way to get a contract that expires next year.
Larry Hughes' $14 million contract was only a player option in the summer of '10 and won't officially expire until the summer of 2011, and as long as he's not a fool, he won't jump out of the contract next summer, and the Knicks will have to carry a garbage contract of up to $10 million a year.
Back to the game, the New York fans are pretty bad. Many fans here today learned from the fact that the Nets fans put a paper bag on their faces yesterday, which made the Nets players who played later grit their teeth in anger, but when they thought that they had lost 18 in a row, they immediately turned into a dead father's expression.
Losing 18 games in a row coupled with the ridicule of public opinion and fans, this feeling is not that the parties can't experience it at all, and the taste is like making an appointment with the girl to fight 300 rounds at night. But it is the saddest story in the world to disarm in less than three seconds after getting on the horse.
Wu Huang finally found Taylor Swift before the start of the game, and the two had the leisure to secretly flirt.
Last night, he left Chloe Moretz at home and ran to Taylor Swift's apartment for more than 300 rounds of fighting, and finally knocked him off his horse, begging for mercy. At this time, the mentality of him and the Nets players is one heaven and one underground.
After the start of the game, the Nets players were in a lifeless atmosphere. As soon as he came up, he was beaten 7:0 by the Knicks.
After David Lee scored four straight points in the opening game, Iguodala also hit a three-pointer from the outside, and the Knicks got off to a smooth start.
"Hit the low...... Punch in...... You have a height advantage...... "Nets' new head coach Vanderwich has only been in office for one day, but fortunately, he is the team's assistant coach and is very familiar with the team, knowing that the Nets' only advantage over the Knicks is Brook Lopez's height and low-post offensive ability.
David Lee is not at a loss in terms of strength, and he is completely able to resist López and prevent him from easily entering the dangerous area of the penalty area. But he's still the same old problem. The height disadvantage is too big to interfere with López's shooting. In other words. As long as Lopez has a good touch and can score the ball in the low post with a hook or a turnaround shot, there is nothing David Lee can do.
Bruce Lopez didn't have a bad hand today, hitting two consecutive turnaround jumpers in a row, and although the third offense didn't score the ball, he used his foot break to create a foul on David Lee. He scored six straight points on both free throws.
But scoring consecutive points doesn't mean you can catch up with the score, and the Nets' defense is like a lump of mud, and the footwork is always a beat slower than the offense.
This kind of defense is like a slow buff, and the last game the Nets played against the Mavericks, they played with this kind of poor defense. As a result, the opponent hit 80 per cent in the first half, which may sound impossible, but it is the truth.
The Knicks were not polite today, opening with an attack wave of 6 shots and 6 shots, and the shooting did not miss a single time, such a shooting rate is obviously not something that can be made up for by scoring 6 points in a row.
Next, the Knicks' seventh offense still didn't come home empty-handed, and Iguodala broke through and made a foul on Lopez, and made one of two free throws to help the team score points.
At 8 minutes and 55 seconds in the first quarter, the score was 15-6, and the Knicks led by 9 points
The Nets had to call a timeout first, their defense was too worrying, and if they continued to play like this, not to mention a 24-game losing streak, it was not impossible to lose 82 in a row!
The Knicks high-fived each other before the court and the sounds of New York fans echoed through Madison Square Garden, creating a relaxed atmosphere at home.
Wu Huang didn't attack much in the opening game, just made a three-pointer in the cold, and got 3 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists before the timeout, Iguodala got 6 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, David Lee scored 4 points, and Hughes scored 2 points.
The Nets have a lot of problems to solve this timeout, and they have no other effective way on the offensive end except for Lopez. Defensively, they don't even have a solution, and once the Knicks wrap up Lopez, who else can they rely on to score at that time?
Devin Harris was given the task of using his speed to get inside to draw the defense and cut back on unreliable mid-to-long-range shots.
The Chinese, the best defensive shooting guard, with long arms and nimble footwork, coupled with a height that is not misreported, is enough to affect most of the No. 1 positions in the shooting crosshair.
However, a cruel reality is that Harris's speed advantage has dropped a lot again after another injury this season, and he is not as fast as Wu Huang's speed for a long time, and it may be difficult to use speed to force the breakthrough again.
In the last game against the Mavericks, Kidd relied on his experience and was able to defend well after standing in position in advance, and Wu Huang didn't pay attention to Harris's speed at all now.
After returning from the timeout, the Nets' offense did not improve, and they were almost defended by the Knicks for 24 seconds.
It's been a good season. Second-year rookie Chris Douglas Roberts, who often scores high scores, faced tough enough opponents today.
Iguodala's defense in the past few seasons can be said to be phenomenal, he can often prevent Pierce, James, Wade, Roy and others from scoring only a dozen points in the whole game, shooting less than 40%, these are things that have data to check. Although he himself is about the same data.
At 7:08 of the first quarter, Iguodala cut off Chris Roberts' pass and scored a dunk for his eighth point of the day.
The Nets' defense was extremely porous today, and Wu Huang began to deliberately pass the ball for Iguodala to help him score points.
Today, his own hand is actually not bad, but Wu Huang resisted the idea of scoring by himself, and tried his best to help his teammates score.
Not long ago, he broke the record for the youngest 20+ assists. But that time was not enough, and today taking advantage of the poor state of the Nets, he still wants to do 20+ again.
The Nets' defense today is aptly named, full of holes, and the places that can allow Wu Huang to insert are everywhere, especially in the back, where there is almost no defense, and his pass can easily go straight to the hinterland and turn into an assist.
5 minutes and 22 seconds in the first quarter. Hughes misses mid-range shot, David Rica leads Lopez. Reach out and re-dial the basketball to the outside.
The Nets, a big man on the inside, scored a lot of points today, but they didn't even have half of David Lee's rebounds.
Counting this time, David Lee has grabbed two frontcourt rebounds.
Wu Huang received the basketball, feigned a shot, deceived Harris's defensive center of gravity and burst to the basket. Pass the basketball from the armpit of Lopez, who is on the back, to the hand of Gallinari, who has just come on the court.
Gallinari pulled up a two-handed dunk, and Wu Huang's fifth assist arrived.
"This person's IQ seems to be average, and such a fake move can be deceived." After Wu Huang and Gallinari high-fived, they looked at Harris with an unhappy face, but their hearts were very happy.
Devin Harris is facing Emperor Wu for the second time. The last time the two played each other was in the preseason, when Harris didn't take Wu Huang too seriously, and then he was injured for more than two months in a few days, and he just came back not long ago, and then he met Wu Huang again, but it turned out to be a situation of being hanged.
Throughout the first quarter, the Nets' defense was useless, and the Knicks players shot as high as 80%, perfectly replicating the first half of yesterday's Mavericks.
At the end of the first quarter, the final score made New York fans smile.
The Knicks scored 44 points in a single quarter, the league's highest score in a single quarter this season.
The Nets scored only 25 points in the first quarter, which was still the score obtained when the Knicks players began to release water at the end of the first quarter, otherwise the Nets would have trailed by more than 20 points in a single quarter.
It seems that in terms of "abusing vegetables", the Knicks are obviously a step above the Mavericks.
Wu Huang played the first quarter with 5 points, 1 rebound and 7 assists, Iguodala 13 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, Hughes 10 points, David Lee 8 points and 3 rebounds, Gallinari 6 points, Frye 2 points and 2 rebounds.
Gallinari hit two 3-pointers at the start of the second quarter, and Harrington also hit a shot, and the Knicks instantly led the Nets by 26 points at 52:26.
Wu Huang shook his head secretly in his heart, he still wanted to try to challenge his record of 21 assists in a single game, if he led the opponent by 30 points at halftime, D'Antoni would definitely not let him play in the second half.
Gallinari and Harrington on the field also seemed to feel that it was not possible to fight like this, and it was not easy to meet such a scumbag opponent, and if they were killed directly with a stick, it would be too wasteful.
Soon, the Knicks' equally scummy defense suddenly became as open as the Nets.
Nets backup guard Durin scored five points in a row, and Wu Huang's NCAA opponent Terrence Williams also played a two-and-one, and the Nets were hit by the opponent in 2 minutes and 40 seconds to play a 15-2 counterattack wave.
At 7 minutes and 10 seconds in the second quarter, the score was 58:43, and the Nets had quietly narrowed the gap to 15 points.
The Knicks and their group of players, if they start a tailwind battle, they will be more and more fierce than the other. But if they want to learn from the Lakers, they are far from that fire now. Not to mention them, even the Lakers often die on their own, and the Knicks immediately found that they couldn't get it back, and even their own offense began to go out.
D'Antoni saw that the situation was not good and reintroduced the main team of the team.
After Wu Huang came on the court, he once again faced Harris, who did not score a point today, this guy had several breakthroughs in the first quarter, but the last shot failed to hit under Wu Huang's interference. As for the outside projection, there is no score, which makes Wu Huang feel that his defense is a bit powerful now, and he actually defended last season's All-Star guard like this.
The Knicks' first offense after switching to the main force, Wu Huang launched an offensive in front of Harris in the best way he had ever done - first around the wing, suddenly activated, with explosive power straight to the basket, and finally used a pull rod to dodge Josh Boone's defense and throw the ball......
The basketball bumped on the basket, turned around twice and slid out again!
Wu Huang secretly said "failure" in his heart, but his feet were extremely fast, and he bounced up at the basketball, and turned the basketball in his direction on the head of Josh Boone, who is 208cm tall......
"Mine!" Wu Huang let out a loud shout, and pulled it up again after landing on the ground, this time taking the basketball directly into the palm of Harris's head.
The Nets have lost a lot of frontcourt rebounds today, and now they have been snatched away by a point guard, and the players are angry, and in an instant, three Nets players rushed towards Wu Huang, who was still shooting under the basket...... The basketball flew out of the gap and went straight into the hands of David Lee, who scored two points on an easy hit of the basket.
"Eighth assist." Wu Huang silently remembered his data in his heart, his goal has never changed today, he has always been to pass first, and he will shoot and score when he can't help it.
But when it comes down to it, he had to say it to his face, and it was by Harris's side, which was a bit hateful.
Turning his head, Emperor Wu found that Harris seemed to be staring at him?
"What do you see?" Emperor Wu smiled softly, and a playful look instantly made a small flame rise in Harris's heart.
"I'm going to see how proud you get." Harris replied.
"You get a point first." Wu Huang's words were equivalent to adding a barrel of gasoline to the small flame in Harris's heart, and now the latter's state had escalated to rage.
Although Harris was angry in his heart, he knew that in this case, he would definitely not be able to say that Emperor Wu, who made him really not score? can only forcibly swallow his anger, ready to find an opportunity to return it all.
Wu Huang's little trick succeeded, playing with anger will do more harm than good, not everyone can explode in a small universe in anger like Kobe, and Harris's head will become more unconscious because of anger. And if he, the point guard, is not sober, then the rhythm of the whole team will become chaotic, and the Knicks can release the water steadily, and his assists ...... (To be continued.) )
