What Wu Huang is most afraid of now is a point guard with speed and explosiveness, strong physical confrontation ability, and accurate outside baskets. Billups, Fat Kid and Paul all taught him lessons in the regular season, and when he had a good hand with Rose and Westbrook, he could only blow up with each other, but there was one more missing person here - Jamil Nelson.

This season, the Knicks and the Magic have played a total of 4 games, with a record of 2 wins and 2 losses. That's why New York fans used to think there was a play in playing Magic. But they forgot that those two wins were the two games that Nelson was not around.

Jamil Nelson missed more than 20 games this season due to injury, during which the Knicks and the Magic happened to play each other twice, and Wu Huang faced the 35-year-old and in-form white chocolate in these two games, which naturally gave the Knicks the opportunity to overturn the Magic twice.

It sounds a lot like the Knicks vs. the Hawks in the first round, but by the time Nelson returned from injury, the Knicks hadn't won since they met the Magic.

Wu Huang has a height advantage over Nelson, but he is not comfortable facing Nelson's hand-to-hand combat, whose 183cm height and 200 pounds look like he is a full lap wider, which gives him the feeling of facing Billups.

However, in the regular season, Wu Huang still has a certain advantage in the face of Nelson, but Nelson has a burst of hands in the playoffs, and the shooting percentage is not much different from him, which is a bit difficult to do.

That's what the Knicks' coaching staff is worried about at this point, if Wu Huang can't give the team enough advantages on Nelson. The damage caused to them by Warcraft is irreparable?

Wu Huang went to the front of the team's training hall. I went back to my apartment first.

He wrapped a few tools in a paper bag on the car. As soon as I got out of the car, I saw Emma Roberts driving a Volvo C90 of the same model he gave him and parked nearby.

"What a coincidence, I have some documents here that you need to sign." Emma Roberts is no longer professional, because the training is too hard and there is no time to help Wu Huang manage the company. Second, I couldn't find a satisfactory female teammate, so I simply put my mind on the panda video.

"Let's go up and sit down for a while." When Emperor Wu saw the girl in front of him who he had been coveting, his hand holding the paper bag trembled, if these things were seen. His image was ruined.

"What are you holding?" Emma Roberts was too short to see what's in the paper bag.

"Nothing, just tools and chargers for watering the flowers." Emperor Wu felt that he reacted quickly, but he didn't want to think about it, except for a few pots of cacti that were best fed at home, how could he have any flowers?

Emma Roberts did not doubt him, but after following Emperor Wu upstairs, he looked around and didn't find where the so-called "flowers" were?

"What kind of flowers do you raise?" Little Radish has been here many times, and I don't remember that Emperor Wu raised flowers.

"This ...... It's a chrysanthemum. As soon as Emperor Wu mentioned chrysanthemums, he remembered that he had played too crazy yesterday. I actually forgot to do Xiang. As he spoke, he placed the paper bag on the storage shelf above the video wall and visually measured the height. Emma Roberts shouldn't be able to reach it, and he can go to the bathroom to get some emotions.

Emma Roberts was bored in the living room, and he had been going back and forth to Wu Huang's apartment at least a dozen times, and this time the excuse was to report on the five or six new video sites of the same type that had opened in the United States and around the world in the past two months, and that their Panda Video had been in operation for almost half a year, and that was when a competitor had joined.

Emperor Wu is a bit of a cleanliness fetish, his apartment is cleaned every two days, the room is spotlessly cleaned, and there are no superfluous items on the furnishings, so Emma Roberts looks left and right, and naturally sees the paper bag that Emperor Wu deliberately placed in a high place, which is incompatible with the entire living room.

It's to blame him for doing this too much, in fact, even if he puts things wherever he wants, Emma Roberts won't run to peek. But Emperor Wu had to add to the snake, and such a move aroused the latter's curiosity. You know, once curiosity is born, it's the same as seeing a beautiful cover, knowing that the probability of the cover party is very high, you still can't help but download and confirm it.

Little Radish always said that her height was 157cm, but Emperor Wu visually estimated that she was definitely not more than 155cm. Every time the two met, Wu Huang could see her wearing a pair of high heels that had increased by at least 5cm, but it still didn't seem to be enough for 160cm.

"Damn, I deliberately put it so high." Emma Roberts felt that Emperor Wu had underestimated her IQ because there was a thick and long arm not far away.

Emperor Wu was still reincarnating in the bathroom at the moment, and he didn't realize that what he came with would be stabbed down with a stick.

"These are for watering the flowers?" Emma Roberts opened the paper bag with an unnatural face, but not as exaggerated as a red apple.

Since I met Emperor Wu, whenever I can't sleep at night, in addition to increasing the popularity of the website's live broadcast, Xiao Radish will occasionally secretly open some educational websites to popularize science to herself. So she still knows a little bit about what these tools are used for, and it's definitely not for watering flowers anyway.

Five minutes later, Wu Huang came out of the bathroom relaxedly, glanced at the paper bag on it, and smiled lightly at the little radish shredded: "I'm going to take a tactical class in a while, I signed these documents directly, and you can call these things in the future." He had a unwarranted trust in Emma Roberts, and even if she did do something inside, Emperor Wu wouldn't care.

"Okay, then I'll go first." Emma Roberts's face was as usual, and she was very happy that Emperor Wu trusted her so much, so she didn't mention the paper bag at all, and asked instead: "By the way, do you have time in the evening, let's have dinner together." ”

Emperor Wu only hesitated for half a second, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll pick you up later." By this time, he had long forgotten that he had promised little Hermione not long ago that he would go back to cooking. Of course, he won't forget it completely, just work hard for little Hermione. It is estimated that we will not be able to eat until nine o'clock in the evening.

How is a scumbag made? This question Wu Huang himself did not have an answer. Before entering the NBA. He has never even been in love, and the closest relationship with him besides his parents is basketball. It wasn't until he met these girls that he learned how to step on two boats at one time, or even three or four boats at the same time.

Now "paddling" has become what he is best at, this is not his innate nature, but every time he meets these girls, he just has no resistance and can't control himself.

If he is an animal that only thinks with his lower body. But many female fans who took the initiative to send them to the door were not inferior to his sisters in appearance, but Wu Huang just didn't have feelings for them, he just had feelings for these girls on the notebook.

However, at this stage, fans no longer care about Wu Huang's private life, they are more concerned about the upcoming divisional semifinals, and even some gossip magazines have reduced their reports on Wu Huang's off-field deeds.

June belongs to the NBA and belongs to the playoffs.

The Orlando Magic are not a team with a long history, they have been in the league for less than two decades, and their most glorious history was the '94-95 season, when they led O'Neal and Hardaway all the way to the Finals. But it was swept away by the Rockets led by Olajuwon. The second is that last year, under the leadership of Howard, he reached the finals for the second time in history. But it was still taken away by the Lakers 4:1.

The Knicks and Magic met for the first time in the playoffs, and the two teams had very different first-round progressions, with the Knicks getting into shape after several setbacks and eliminating the Hawks 4-2. On the contrary, the Magic didn't have much difficulty and swept the Heat 4-0.

Howard hit three double-doubles of 20+ in the first round, becoming the first man since Wilt Chamberlain in 1972, and he became known as the "poor man's version of Chamberlain."

Wu Huang drove to the entrance of the team's training hall, and as soon as he got out of the car, he was surrounded by reporters who were ambushed outside.

This time he was automatically sent to the door, and Wu Huang wanted to use the reporter's mouth to continue to provoke a war of words before the game. When his strength is not as good as his opponent's, he will not be stingy with any tricks. In the last round, he successfully aroused the anger of his opponent, and Wu Huang, who had tasted the benefits, naturally did not close his mouth.

"He [Howard] has a strong upper body, but if you can lower your weight and get his feet jammed, then he's not that strong." Wu Huang had long planned to shoot Howard, but naturally he would not show mercy at this time, and he continued to mock: "They have always been a team with small cards, just a team that shoots three-pointers." As for the name of the league's No. 1 center forward, I don't think it's worth it at all. Yes, his upper body muscles are exaggerated, but after all these years, he still struggles to attack in the low post. If I am given such physical talent, I will be able to attack the No. 1 center in history, and I will not fall behind every time I face Yao Ming. ”

Wu Huang's mouth was so bitter that the reporters who interviewed him couldn't believe it, only those who knew him would know that his mouth would be so mean when he didn't have confidence and confidence.

In the contest between the two sides this season, Wu Huang won the duel with Nelson, although this is due to the latter's injury, but judging from the statistics of the two, they are indeed not players of the same level.

In this regard, Nelson said that he is ready to play against Wu Huang again, "I like challenges, in the first round, people said that Chalmers and Wade would get me into trouble, they were either faster than me, or more comprehensive than me, and I accepted those challenges. Now, now that I'm in the next round, I think it's a challenge for any point guard to play against me. ”

The Magic point guard has always been confident, but this time he put himself in a lower position, which shows his maturity.

Nelson was very objective about the Knicks' two guards, saying, "Hugo is pretty good on the dribble and shooting, and he's a pretty fast player, and if he keeps his shoulders down, then he can get ahead of me." And Andre, who is the best single guard in the league, and since Bowen retired, he has been the best defensive guard in the NBA. We need to look at their quality, even if they put on a blank stance, but we know it's just a tactic and we don't underestimate a team that can reach the semi-finals. ”

Wu Huang got these messages from his phone when he was having dinner with Emma Roberts in the evening.

At this time, he finally understood that the strength of the Magic this season was obviously not as good as last year. But why can it sweep the Heat, whose strength is not weak.

The answer is actually quite simple. Because this team has gone through the experience of the finals. They have been completely mature from top to bottom, they can maintain absolute calmness on and off the field, make the most correct judgments, and do not care about the gains and losses of honor and disgrace, so they can naturally give full play to their combat power.

These are all things that the Knicks are far from for the time being, and they can't do the kind of style that a really strong team has.

Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy also acknowledges that the rivalry between Nelson and Wu Huang is key. However, he said that the Knicks players are strong overall, except for the point guard. Other positions must also be handled with care. "Hugo is a hard nail for anybody, and the Knicks have great players, so you can't be sloppy with any alignment. For example, how to deal with David and Andre, these are all issues that we have to think about, and they are very good. But, from a tactical point of view, Hugo is our biggest problem because the Eagles are ruined by Hugo, and we want him to attack from the outside, but if he runs to the inside. It's complicated. ”

The Magic team, from the coach to the players, is actually a low profile. Not to fight him head-on, which made it impossible for Emperor Wu to provoke further.

He didn't expect this team to be so old and spicy, and he almost mocked the opponent by name, but these guys can still deal with it without changing their faces, and this psychological quality is more than a step stronger than the previous Eagles.

The Knicks are facing the same complex problem, and in the four meetings this season, the Knicks have struggled to withstand Howard's onslaught on the inside, and Rashad Lewis, who likes to float on the outside, is also a thorny problem. At the same time, athleticism declined, but the older and hotter Carter made it difficult for the Knicks to guard against.

D'Antoni said earlier: "Experience is the reason why the Magic are so strong, there is no strategy and battle plan that they have not seen, this opponent has been in a lot of battles, they know how to deal with the opponent's tactics." So, whatever you plan to do, you have to give it your all and expect you to get a little bit of luck again. ”

If it weren't for the loss to the Mavericks and the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals in 04-07, Mustache might have won the championship, so he knew that when he met a team like the Spurs and the Celtics, it would not be useful to start a war of words before the game, so it would be better to save some effort and use it in the game.

What storms haven't you seen from these teams that have reached the finals? If you want to defeat them, you can't count on these sideways, you can only use your strength to defeat them, and intrigues will not play a big role. The more Emperor Wu said at this time, the more he made a lot of nonsense, the more he had no confidence in himself.

On May 2, before the Knicks set off, Wu Huang ran to Taylor Swift's apartment, ready to do something bad before setting off. But as soon as he entered the house, he almost tripped over a small thing.

"Where did this stinky cat come from?" Wu Huang saw a snow-white Scottish folded kitten, curled up next to the shoe rack at the door of the apartment.

When this little thing saw Queen Wu, she stretched out her little fluffy paws and put it on his shoes, and stretched her waist exaggeratedly, but she was not afraid of him as a stranger at all?

"Hell, how can this be?" Taylor Swift had two band-aids on his hands, which were scratched by the kitten he had just bought, but this little guy who had always been fierce to her was actually rubbing Wu Huang's trouser leg with his little head like a cute one at this time, and the little singer was really jealous.

Wu Huang pulled this little thing aside, squatted down and patted the leg of his trousers, and there were a few cat hairs on it, and the perpetrator was staring at him with his big round eyes at the moment, looking very aggrieved, and it seemed that he wanted to come up and sell it again.

"Bastard, don't bully my cat like that." Taylor Swift hurriedly picked up the cat, only to find another scratch on his hand.

"Little guy, you dare to move my woman, don't you think it's too long?" Wu Huang picked up the little cat that broke free from Taylor Swift, this little thing didn't even struggle in his arms, and was quietly held by him.

Taylor Swift has been stupid, she can't figure out how this can be, who is the master?

"Xiaobai, do you know that it is wrong to attack the master with claws? If you do it again, I'll throw you from the 19th floor onto the road, do you hear me? Wu Huang said and returned the kitten to Taylor Swift, who was still stunned on the spot, so that she didn't even notice how Wu Huang knew what the kitten's name was.

This little white cat with a vulgar name. After being threatened by Emperor Wu. Although he still looks disgusted in the face of the little singer. But finally stopped resisting.

Wu Huang put the paper bag on the coffee table and asked, "You went to Los Angeles to perform, how could you buy a cat and come back?" And you didn't even watch my sixth game! He was a little upset with his crucial sixth game, and the two girls all went to Los Angeles, so he hurriedly used the topic to play.

"Hmph, even if it's the finals, you don't dare to let me not go to Los Angeles." Taylor Swift reacted and choked him. "Didn't you know that this cat was bought from your mother's new pet store, which opened on the day of your race?" ”

Emperor Wu was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, he really didn't know about it, his parents hadn't mentioned it to him at all.

"Also, that slut actually went too, and snatched the cat I originally chose, what a bastard!" Taylor Swift's words made Wu Huang react a little, and secretly said that his mother should have seen his scandal and deliberately made an excuse to look at these two girls, right?

A few kilometers away. Christine was in the apartment with a fourth Band-Aid on her hand, and then looked not far away at a beautiful short three-flowered folded ear cat that was scratching at her. I couldn't help but complain: "That damn guy actually snatched the white cat I originally selected, it's so disgusting!" ”

"It's not easy to do, you can let that guy secretly help you change it, won't the problem be solved?" Emma Watson is sowing discord again, in revenge for being starved for hours by Emperor Wu the day before yesterday.

Hearing this, Christine glanced at the beautiful short kitten who was biting her precious carpet, and actually nodded: "That's all." ”

When Emma Watson heard this, she almost fell off the sofa, and then looked at this little kitten who couldn't be lured with canned cats, and was still full of malice towards the two, and couldn't help but wonder what the cat that was snatched away by Taylor Swift would look like, is it also so difficult to get along with?

That night, the Knicks left for Orlando as a team, and the whole flight took about two hours.

Once at their destination, the players will check into the hotel and rest, with two hours of shooting and acclimatization training tomorrow morning.

The Knicks haven't found a way to restrain Howard these days, because there is really no one available under him, and that foul tactic can only be used at a specific time, hoping to use free throws to limit the Monster, which will not work, otherwise the Heat will not be swept.

There are only a few people they can use on the inside, David Lee can fight Horford, but he definitely can't fight Howard, D'Antoni often wants to use him as Dio, but David Lee is not bad on the rebounding and offensive end, but there are still many deficiencies on the defensive end.

David Lee's defense is not badly motivated under the leadership of Wu Huang and Iguodala, and his athleticism is now at its peak, so his defensive ability can be rated B at the No. 4 position, barely reaching the league's average position.

But at the No. 5 position, David Lee is hard to reach this level, and it is barely enough to give him a B- rating, so it is difficult for David Lee to hold on to too many rounds against Howard, and the foul problem alone is enough for him to have a headache.

Channing Frye is also a power forward, he is characterized by strong defensive ability, which can be rated A- in this regard, but even if the single defense level is placed in the No. 4 position, it can only be rated as a C+, which is lower than the league average, and it is completely unable to defend a beast center like Howard, at best, it can only be assisted in defense interference.

The rest of Jonathan Bender is completely incapable of defensive duties, and Francisco is a little better than Jonathan, but he can only share the number of fouls for the main players, and there is no other work to count on.

Finally, there is the thorn in the side of the New York fans - Eddie Curry.

This guy can definitely beat Howard in terms of weight now, but this guy didn't make the Knicks playoff roster at all.

The Knicks now have no trade hopes for this only remaining cancer, and no one will accept this dead fat man who will have a salary of $11.53 million next season but can't play. James Dolan has decided to use the #pardon clause in the offseason to get him out.

In fact, since last year, the Knicks have begun to negotiate with Curry on the buyout amount, because although the special # pardon can clear the space, but the loss is too great, and the players who are pardoned by the special # can also get double salary + to go to a strong team, but the buyout can reduce the loss.

The NBA's so-called "buyout contract" is when a player signs a contract with the team for several years, and when the contract does not expire, the team or player unilaterally wants to break the contract, and then the liquidated damages must be paid. The amount of liquidated damages is stipulated in the signing of the contract, but if both parties intend to breach the contract, the team only needs to pay a part of the full liquidated damages, which formally eliminates the contract.

The Knicks wanted to buy out Curry's contract for the next two years for $10 million last season, but Curry refused at once. After the buyout, Curry becomes a free agent, and he can use the money to move to another team and get a new contract. But he didn't want to play anymore, and he knew he couldn't get a big contract again, so he had to pay the Knicks the full salary for the rest of the contract.

Curry refused to give up a penny, and this matter couldn't be discussed at all, and it has dragged on until now, clearly asking the team to #pardon him.

This guy is not stupid, or his agent is not stupid, they know that the Knicks must get rid of this rotten contract this summer, so they have no fear to wait for the Knicks to pay him the last year's salary of 10 million, so that he can go to other strong teams to mix with the veteran's base salary for another year or two, and maybe he can also mix a championship and come back, and the abacus is clanging. (To be continued.) )
