Chapter 216: Afraid
My friend's wife really can't ride, this is much more serious than the consequences of stepping on two boats, his "paddling" is enough to be scolded until he retires, but which superstar doesn't have illegitimate children? So the things he did haven't killed himself for the time being, but if he doesn't even let go of his teammate's girlfriend, he will definitely be scolded by 10,000 people!
"How could I possibly give up so many brightly colored potted plants at home for the sake of a wildflower?" Wu Huang wanted to explain this to Taylor Swift, the reason was of course absolutely sufficient, that is, the side effects were too great, so he called Brandon for help from his agent as soon as possible.
"As long as you haven't done it, this matter will be in our favor, and we can let the media hype it for a few more days, and we will collect evidence and send a lawyer's letter to this magazine." Brandon first confirmed whether Emperor Wu had done it or not, but listening to this tone, he didn't seem to have much confidence in him.
Emperor Wu was immediately furious, could he be like the kind of person who stole his sister-in-law? Not to mention the phone bombardment of a few girls, even his parents just called him to teach him a lesson, which is really wronged! But no matter how wronged he is, Emperor Wu must first make a call to the more tragic David Lee, otherwise when they meet tomorrow, if someone punches him in the head, he will be even more aggrieved.
David Lee was already confused at the moment, and after he knew about it, he immediately snatched Sabina Gardch's mobile phone, but of course he didn't find anything, but quarreled with his girlfriend again.
When Emperor Wu replied to Sabina GardΔ's text message, he deliberately kept an eye on it, and did not leave a handle on the content he sent, and finally declined the Polish girl's invitation to make a date. Like this kind of faceless text message record, Sabina Gardech naturally won't keep it in her mobile phone. She wondered how such a could get to the outside.
Wu Huang's phone call put David Lee at ease a little. He didn't believe that kind of report either. But Sabina Gardech has been breaking up with him recently, which makes him a little suspicious, especially since Emperor Wu often makes him feel a little inferior in the locker room. Fortunately, Wu Huang pointed to the light on the phone and swore that he had never done it himself, and finally did not cause such a bad situation as discord within the team.
The next day, Wu Huang drove to the entrance of the team's training hall and was unsurprisingly blocked by a crowd of reporters. The training hall temporarily dispatched twice as many security guards to escort Wu Huang to the parking lot, which shows how interested the media is in this gossip magazine.
Emperor Wu explained it to his sisters yesterday. So he didn't make a clarification in front of reporters for the time being, letting the media fire for two days is only good for him, and the lawyer team behind him is now discussing how to make that gossip magazine pay a heavy price.
Now there is still a question, that is, I don't know where the magazine got the news? Although this matter is not entirely groundless, in any case, if you dare to send out unconfirmed information, you must be prepared to pay a heavy price.
This accident was another blow to the Knicks, betting and outside groups have closed the handicap of the Knicks and Hawks, and everyone from all walks of life feels that the Knicks, who have suffered from internal and external troubles, have lost.
On April 21, the second game of the first round of the league was all played. This time, there was finally no large-scale rollover incident before, and the Purple Gold Nobles did not give the young Thunder any chance. The two dark horses in the east and west have become a pair of difficult brothers in the eyes of the media, and these two teams can be worthy of the audience if they are not swept out.
The Mavericks also moved back to the home stadium, but this year's Spurs have significantly improved their form, and everyone knows that they are by no means the seventh in the West, and the Mavericks have a hard time getting through the second game by relying on the home whistle, and the next two games will be moved to San Antonio, and the Dallasians' prospects of qualifying are already not good.
The Suns and Nuggets also pulled one back on their home court, but compared to the easy win of the Phoenix in the second game, the Denver Nuggets won much more difficult, and the Jazz played in overtime before losing.
The Eastern Conference game also had a rollover in the first round, the first game played a humiliating game for the Cavaliers, the second game of the whole team exploded, and finally under the leadership of James, they slaughtered the poor Bucks with a huge advantage of 38 points, and finally saved some face for their status as the first in the regular season.
The Magic continue not to give the Heat a chance, they may be the most consistent team in the playoffs, unlike the Lakers who only took away their opponents in the second half or even the fourth quarter, the Magic like to end the battle in the first half, the dominance of the Monsters in the restricted area makes it difficult for Wade to play the savior of the team, and they are more likely to be out than the Knicks.
Finally, there are the Celtics, the Green Shirts finally rose to prominence in the second game at home, and they used their more delicate tactical coordination and better skills, as well as the same iron-blooded defense to suppress the Charlottes all over the court, which made the Bobcats see their shortcomings and shortcomings.
Maybe the Bobcats can't do as much defensively as the Green Army, but in terms of details and techniques on the offensive end, they're a lot worse than the Boston Big Four. That's where the gap between the two teams lies, and there are too many rough guys on the Bobcats, which is a big reason why Jordan has always been dissatisfied with the players on his team.
Although the helper's vision for selecting rookies is really not good, he has a clear understanding of the player's ability, who is really capable in the league, who is the brush, this can't hide the eyes of the helper, especially when he sees Wu Huang of the Knicks, and then looks at these rough brothers who are full of muscles in his team, the unhappiness in his heart is always directly on his face, and the helper wants Wu Huang now, let him exchange his son.
After the first two games of the first round, the results of the Eastern and Western Divisions are as follows:
Western Conference - Lakers (2) VS (0) Thunder; Mavericks (1) VS (1) Spurs; Suns (1) VS (1) Trail Blazers; Nuggets (1) VS (1) Jazz.
Eastern Conference - Cavaliers (1) VS (1) Bucks; Magic (2) VS (0) Heat; Hawks (2) VS (0) Knicks; Celtics (1) VS (1) Bobcats.
On April 22, "Hoop World" reported before the Knicks returned home for Game 3: Everyone thinks Hugo is a genius, and he is one of the best players in the league right now. His devastating offense was enough to carry the entire team on his shoulders.
Hugo can shoot from distance, shoot to the basket, walk to the free-throw line, or provide assists to teammates like a traditional playmaking guard whenever he wants. His offense was almost flawless. This undoubtedly begs the questionβββ how will the barely defended Eagles in the No. 1 position face Hugo? If you want to limit him in the next game. But will the Hawks now have what it takes to lock him up? Will they accept Hugo doing whatever he wants on the field, or will they try their best to defend his teammates?
"The best thing to do is to keep a certain distance from him and let him jump, but always stay in front of him and don't let him go to the basket." Hawks head coach Larry Drew said after arriving in New York that it might be the only way for him to do it, as his team can only do the easy task. "What you have to do is try to make him as inefficient as possible, if he wants to score 40 points. Your goal is to get him to make 30 or more shots. Against a player like that, you have to make as few stupid mistakes as possible, try to keep him in the half-court, be strict with the defensive strategy, and let him finish the offense with a jumper. β
Larry Drew's idea is still very reliable, he can even tolerate Wu Huang getting 40+ in the next game, as long as his efficiency is not high.
But while the Hawks are trying to find a strategy to defend Wu Huang, the Knicks are also developing a strategy to prevent other teams from stopping Wu Huang.
D'Antoni was also confident on the day of the race: "We've been spending a lot of time training on how to give Hugo a certain amount of space, we've been through a lot of situations. We can react wisely to those targeted defences and Hugo is a very smart player in his own right. He can read the game, he doesn't let the same problem happen to him twice, and he doesn't let himself easily fall into the trap of his opponent. β
At the pre-game press conference, Wu Huang, a man of the year in the past two days, publicly refuted all slander against him for the first time, and said that he would pursue the report of this gossip magazine, and at the same time he also expressed confidence in the next game: "The difference this season is that no one expected us to make the playoffs, I feel that we have no burden on our shoulders at all, and all the media predict that we will leave in the first round, so we will travel lightly." I don't think we're the kind of team that can play better in a nervous situation, we're playing with some kind of belief. When we relax and feel like the whole world is against us, the players perform better. β
He then turned down some questions about "other people's girlfriends", "Finally, I'm not going to answer the ridiculous rumors, we have a good atmosphere in the team, in fact we joke with each other in training, David still tells everyone his clumsy jokes, but once the game starts, we are well prepared and ready for it." β
David Lee, who appeared at the pre-game press conference despite his bad mood, also said that the Knicks will be in more shape now under suspicion, "It's no secret, what did people say at the beginning of the season? They said, 'We're done, we're not going to make the playoffs, the Knicks are going to keep rotting,' and that's what they said, and we made everybody's jaws drop, and we gave it our all as a team, and since from day one, they said we can't do this, we can't do that, and we use that as motivation to move forward. β
Wu Huang also expressed the same opinion: "People have always been not optimistic about us, but now you see, we have come to this point. β
For the Knicks, this game has reached the point of "one battle to determine life and death", and if one more loss is completely GG, Wu Huang can go home and hug his sister to sleep, and only by winning the crucial third game can they jump a few more times.
D'Antoni gave a five-minute motivational speech in the dressing room before the game, hoping to motivate his players to give it a go, and the content was to say: as long as they win the first home game, they can hope to win the second, and then go back to Atalanta with a score of 2-2, and if they don't do it, they can go to the next city in one go, and then they will get match point.
Wu Huang said that his coach's brain hole is too big, what is the difference between this and rounding up 100 million? Besides, this idea is too idealistic, isn't it? However, the black players seemed to eat this set, and Wu Huang soon found that his teammates were all in a trance after being coached Amway. I don't know if they're really serious. Still hehehehe......
Only David Lee peeked at Emperor Wu from time to time. Then he quickly moved his eyes to the side, and after a while, he couldn't help but look at it, probably still wondering if this guy really had a leg with his girlfriend, and he also wanted to ask: "Brother, I promise not to be angry, but did you do it?" β
There will never be an answer to this question, and even if Emperor Wu really did it, he would not admit it. Not to mention that he hasn't done it yet.
When the Knicks players came out later, the team held a long entrance ceremony that was very pompous, as if they were in the Finals. It's understandable, though, because it's another playoff game they've had in an unknown number of years, and many New York fans can't remember the last time they watched the playoffs at home.
Taylor Swift and Christine are both watching the game in the private room of the arena today, and Little Radish is spontaneously explaining to Wu Huang in front of the little singer at the moment, and the content is probably "She firmly trusts Wu Huang and didn't do it". But the little radish shredded didn't realize it, and Taylor Swift on the side didn't care about whether Wu Huang and the Polish girl did it or not, but had a look of whether you did it with that guy or not. It's just that Emma Roberts is too short to see Taylor Swift's eyes.
"Don't you ask him when you get it? He probably did. He's such a bastard! In the other room, Emma Watson seemed more concerned about the matter than Christine, even though she kept putting on a playful look.
When Christine heard the news, unlike Taylor Swift, who made N phone calls in a row, she never asked Emperor Wu from beginning to end, and in the end Emperor Wu took the initiative to explain to her.
"This kind of news is not credible at all, and the gossip magazine also says that you have a leg with him." Christine's intentional or unintentional words made Emma Watson's heart flutter, which is usually the case for people who have done something wrong, she must not be able to tell whether Christine's words have another meaning, or a casual joke, anyway, little Hermione's expression then became the same as the Knicks' players, all of them were in a red and fiery trance.
Wu Huang didn't know that the atmosphere in his harem was not quite right, he was now all focused on this game, although he ignored D'Antoni's Amway Dafa, but he himself felt that the team still had a chance, as long as he won this important home field.
The Hawks' starting lineup today has not changed except for the point guard, and it is not surprising that the person who will start in place of Bibby can only be the young Jeff Teague, because the Hawks' playoff roster has been submitted, unless they have less than seven injuries, they can't make temporary substitutions, and they can't find temporary workers.
Larry Drew now regrets that he didn't add an extra point guard to the playoff roster when he submitted it, and now he can only hope that Jeff Teague won't be blown up too badly!
In addition to Bibby and Teague, the two full-fledged point guards in the Hawks' guard list, there are only a few two-way guards like Crawford, but they are not young and can be used against other teams, but to deal with Wu Huang, it is really better to use Crawford than to use them, which is really restrained by one person!
After the start of the game, Wu Huang played very actively, and in the crazy cheers of the fans, he led the Knicks to play a 7:3 attack wave.
Jeff Teague is now in a much worse situation than David Lee, he is really afraid of Emperor Wu, his athletic ability is obviously good, but in front of Emperor Wu, he is like a stake, and he can't even see the annoyance and anger that young people often have after being beaten, because he doesn't dare to make malicious foul moves against Emperor Wu, this person is at least abolished in front of Emperor Wu.
Wu Huang himself also found out, he saw fear in Teague's eyes, he had not seen this situation, he had encountered many similar eyes in high school, but those people were high school players who were far less talented than him, and the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, so it was not surprising that there was such a situation.
However, since entering the university, Wu Huang has rarely seen this situation. After entering the NBA, there is no one who is afraid of anyone. The example of David Lee being restrained by Horford is the limit, but David Lee is only unhappy and disgusted, and he will not have this kind of timidity.
In the face of this kind of opponent who is afraid of him from the heart, Wu Huang naturally played an inch, and soon made a foul on Teague under the basket, and scored his 7th point today.
After today's opening, 7 of the 9 points scored by the Knicks were directly scored by Wu Huang, and the other two points were also his assists, and the breakthrough came from Jeff Teague, who couldn't even do Bibby's close delays in the first two games, and couldn't buy time for his teammates on the inside to help defend, so that even if Josh's mobility ability was strong, he couldn't wipe Teague's ass.
With only three minutes to play in the first quarter, Larry Drew had to call a timeout, as Teague had already committed two fouls after only three minutes and had to be replaced to calm down.
"Damn, it seems that the attack is too heavy, in fact, it is better to keep him on the court." Wu Huang felt that there was a bit of a mistake, and although Crawford's defense was not very good, it was at least better than Teague. Of course, this is the state of defense against him, Teague has not been so unimpressive against other point guards, and has even played well against Rondo and Harris. (To be continued.) )
