This season, the Knicks, Celtics, Bobcats and Bucks have exceeded the expectations of the media and fans, especially the Knicks' rise is a little too fast, in the past decade, the top three rookies who can bring the team to the playoffs in their first season, only Anthony and Rose have done it, and now Wu Huang may become the top three rookies who will lead the team back to the playoffs in his fourth rookie season.

The New York Knicks are rising too fast, while the Boston Celtics are declining a little faster.

At the beginning of the season, the Celtics' record was not bad, but as the regular season continued, the state of the Green Army's Big Three began to fall into trouble, and when these three were not all healthy, the Green Army's record began to gradually decline, and now the Celtics have slipped to the fifth place in the East, and if they lose again, they will soon not be able to keep the fifth place.

However, for the top three teams in the East, the Celtics really slipped into the bottom half of the playoffs, which is not a good thing for them. Because it means that the Cavaliers and Magic could meet the Celtics in the first round.

Don't look at the Big Three struggling in the regular season. But as long as they make the playoffs. The combat effectiveness shown is definitely much stronger than that of the Knicks, Hawks, Bucks and the like, and who knows if the three old guys also learned from O'Neal in the regular season?

It's normal for older superstars like O'Neal, Duncan, and Garnett in the league to choose to retain their strength in the regular season, and it's fair to say that these old guys are doing just that. But in the playoffs, the old guys won't be perfunctory.

The NBA's regular season is used by these old guys to warm up, and it would be good to be able to play half of their strength at this stage, and they will play at most thirty or forty games seriously every season, which is already very dedicated.

January 16th. The Knicks returned home to win over the Toronto Raptors, and although Bosh scored a game-high 32 points, he also led the Raptors to a single-digit margin in the final quarter of the game. But Wu Huang, Iguodala and Gallinari all scored 20+ points today, and the Knicks had a total of six players score in double figures as they beat the Toronto Raptors 116-106 at home.

Bosh was even more dissatisfied with his teammates after this game, he didn't think that Wu Huang could beat him, let alone that David Lee would be his opponent, but with the assistance of Iguodala, Gallinari and others, the Knicks could defeat the Raptors led by him. So if he loses, he loses because he doesn't have a good enough helper, this is what the Dragon King thinks in his heart.

After Wu Huang won this match. Hurry up and roll the sheets with Taylor Swift, who has just finished coaxing, to deepen your relationship. However, his time is short, and the Knicks are going to play away against the Detroit Pistons the next day, and he doesn't even dare to exert too much force, so he quickly sleeps after a three-in, three-out.

At noon the next day, the Knicks were going to board the plane and get off the game in the evening, and the whole schedule was very tight, not enough for him to stage a big battle of seven in and seven out.

Away back-to-back is the factor that has the greatest impact on the state of the players, Wu Huang played first today, and almost threw a three-point shot on the first ball, taking the lead in playing iron.

In the first half, Wu Huang was 1 of 8, and the Knicks made 2 of 12 three-pointers in the first half, and in the end, no one dared to shoot three points.

The scene at that time, according to the memories of New York fans after the game - can only be described as miserable!

D'Antoni didn't have a good idea of what to do about it, and the Knicks players could still run, but they couldn't find the crosshairs on their final shots, which was no different from being sentenced to death for a team that relied on shooting.

Wu Huang's performance today made those fans who hated him extremely excited, and he could still find an excuse for his poor shooting rate, whether this game was back-to-back today. But the defensive end uses eye defense, especially after getting ten points, and then stops playing seriously, which is obviously perfunctory, which is worth complaining about.

In this game, Wu Huang obviously had no intention of winning, his movement on the court was like a walk, and even D'Antoni, who is now known as the puppet coach, couldn't stand it, and only let Wu Huang play 26 minutes in the whole game, only getting 11 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists.

The biggest reason why the media and fans criticized his performance after the game was that he didn't work or contribute after he scored double digits.

"I wasn't in good shape today, my body was tired, my legs looked like they were filled with lead, so the coach didn't let me play for too long, and I wasn't very happy with my performance today. However, in the long regular season, losing back-to-back games is not the end of the world, I hope you can understand! "Wu Huang didn't feel blushing at all about his performance after the game, and he still had an excuse?

In this game, Wu Huang didn't plan to contribute from the beginning to the end, and he had the idea of coping with it from the beginning.

Of course, he will not tell the media about this kind of real thought.

In fact, he is not really out of energy, he is at least much better than many of his teammates' physical reserves, although it is a back-to-back, but a little hard work can still play at a normal level.

However, Wu Huang thinks differently from ordinary players, and he appreciates Popovich's approach more in terms of distributing physical strength, so he has long made up his mind that he will choose a few times he thinks is appropriate to be lazy in the long regular season, and it is time to recuperate.

As for this method, is it scientific? Wu Huang is too lazy to care so much! He only believes in the feedback of his body, and even his body, which has always been a bug in his resilience, is starting to feel tired, so he must be lazy and take a break. He doesn't care about the reaction of the fans and the media, and he doesn't think much about the consequences of losing a game.

Just kidding, what are the consequences of a regular season game? His own body is the most important option, and everything else has to be put on the back burner.

The complaints of the fans and the criticism of the media, he will not listen, who has his own love for himself?

After returning to New York last time, Wu officially hired Wayne Hall as his personal trainer, and he also learned some of the ways NBA players adjust their form during the regular season. Generally speaking, experienced players who don't play all the way through the regular season will take the initiative to adjust when their fitness level drops.

This is said for the sake of sound, the so-called adjustment is to release water, that is, to work without effort, is to find an opportunity to be lazy.

It's like running a marathon, you can't maintain a pace all the time.

The regular season of the NBA is a marathon, even if you have a perverted system like LeBron James and a recovery ability like Wu Huang, it is impossible to sprint all the way without slowing down, and robots can't stand this style of play.

On Jan. 19, the Knicks returned home to play the Detroit Pistons again.

In this game, the Knicks didn't look like a team at all on the road, and Wu Huang turned on his scoring mode as soon as he came up, punching and kicking the opposing Ronnie Starkey away.

This guy scored 24 points on Wu Huang in the last game, and he was a little flustered after the game, but he was cut by Wu Huang 18 points in a single quarter today, tying his single-quarter scoring record.

Ronnie Starkey was beaten in the first quarter and began to doubt his life, Wu Huang in the last game was not like this at all, and the Pistons point guard was stunned after the first quarter.

Once Wu Huang goes all out to attack, there are not many players in the league who can block him, and Starkey will definitely not be able to do this anyway, and the current Pistons can no longer trap Wu Huang with their team defense at their peak. The Pistons have only won a total of 12 games including the win over the Knicks the day before yesterday, always ranking at the bottom of the Eastern Conference teams, and have long since lost the qualification to compete for the playoffs, which is a rebuilding team.

One of the easiest criteria for judging the best teams in the league is that none of them will be beaten by the performance of a single star!

The Knicks' defense is not good, but if the Lakers want to use Kobe Bryant, or the Cavaliers want to use James to single-handedly pick them up, it won't work, it must be the superstar's play that drives other teammates to beat the Knicks, and if the star alone scores, they can't beat them.

But now the Knicks only rely on Wu Huang to score alone, and the Pistons can't withstand it. In other words, they have no way to do anything about a Wu Huang, which is the characteristic of a fish belly team, and there must be one or two, or even more CBA players in their starting lineup, which will cause an embarrassing situation where there is no way to take a star.

Wu Huang scored 25 points in the first half and led the Knicks into the second half with a 22-point lead at home.

D'Antoni knew what Wu Huang wanted to do today, and let him play the whole quarter in the third quarter, and if he can make his individual score break 40+ in the first three quarters, then the Knicks have an excuse to keep him on the court in the final quarter.

It's a pity that Wu Huang only increased his personal score to 36 points after the third quarter, which is still a lot away from 50+, and at this time, the Knicks are already 25 points ahead of the Pistons, and the mustache has no excuse to let Wu Huang continue to stay on the court in the fourth quarter.

“50+…… 50+…… When exactly will I get 50+ points? Wu Huang felt a pity in his heart, he was in good shape today, and his opponent was a fish belly, but his task of hitting 50+ failed again, the key is that it is still difficult for him to maintain an excellent hand throughout the game.

In the third quarter, Wu Huang made 11 shots, but only hit 3 shots, and relied on free throws to barely increase his personal score to 36 points, but there is still a lot of distance from 50+, in the final analysis, he is still a little lacking in stability and consistent scoring, and it will take time to continue to improve his scoring ability.

But what Wu Huang wants is to break the record as soon as possible, and there is not much time left for him, and he only has less than a month left to challenge the record of "youngest 50+". (To be continued.) )
