"I don't think the injuries this season are all due to the shrinking season, maybe that's one of the triggers, but if we maintain discipline off the field and follow the training plan and recipes, then we can avoid injuries as much as the Spurs, and many of our players have proven that self-discipline is the best way to avoid injuries. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Wu Huang once again licked and knelt down on the day of the game.

In April, more than 20 players were injured, including big-name stars such as Rose and Howard, so many fans and media slammed the league's schedule and the shrinking season caused by the league and the management together.

But NBA commissioner David Stern said after the season that there was no necessary connection between player injuries and a busy schedule, and the league refused to take the blame. Then some officials also came out and said that the irregularities in the players' private lives during the shrinking season were the main factor in the frequency of injuries.

The league is not unreasonable this time, including some medical experts who have supported the league in this matter, and these injuries must not be relied on in a shortened season.

You must know that the schedule of the shortened season is already cruel, but most NBA players are still going to nightclubs outside the court, and they can't control their lower body as usual, and alcohol, Da hemp and all kinds of unhealthy foods are still not refused. It's hard for them not to die in this situation, don't think that the Spurs' lack of injuries is all due to Popovich's rotation, player self-discipline is the main factor, and white players like Nash, Nowitzki, and Gasol can also prove this point.

Emperor Wu naturally immediately supported his godfather at this time, but he enjoyed the benefits of being cared for by his godfather, so no matter who is right and who is wrong, the godfather will definitely not be wrong!

I don't know if David Stern received Wu Huang's sycophancy, after the three referees for today's game were announced, many neutral fans immediately questioned the league too much to spoil the Knicks, because two of the three referees are famous referees in the league who favor the Knicks and Wu Huang.

In the first playoff game of the Knicks, the referee was Bennett Salvatore, who is already famous for favoring Wu Huang, but he is still a disciple hidden in the refereeing community, and in the past three years, whenever he has been in charge of the Knicks, Wu Huang has only lost one game, with an astonishing 95% winning rate, and this record is estimated to make the 76ers directly desperate!

The other two assistant referees, one is the NBA's first female referee to officiate a playoff game, Violet Palmer, who is also a lucky star for the Knicks and Wu Huang, and the Knicks have an 80% win rate in the games she officiates. The last young referee is not famous, but he is a referee born in Los Angeles, and he is considered to be Wu Huang's hometown, and it is said that he is less than two kilometers away from Wu Huang's former home, so with this relationship, he will also favor the Holy Sect Master.

"Is it necessary? Just playing a 76ers, the league sent an entire Praetorian Guard to guard, making sure that it was not reversed with the Eastern Conference Finals? "Even Knicks fans are complaining at the moment, even if the league wants to favor the Holy Sect Master, don't be so obvious!

Wu Huang also felt that his godfather had made too much effort this time, and this method should be saved for the Bulls or the Heat, and now he should deal with a mere 76ers, and it is estimated that he will not be able to play the Knicks. In the past two days, the odds of the black eight offered by the outside world have reached more than 1 to 100, and even if a hundred Huang Xudong are found, they can't win 76 people.

Before the Knicks game, the playoffs had already been played for a day, with the Spurs in the West beating the Nuggets and the Clippers beating the Mavericks at home, without an upset in either game. However, there were some surprises in the Eastern Conference, as the Bulls lost to the Magic at home, which was one of the biggest upsets of yesterday. The Heat were also beaten by the Celtics at home, which was the second of the upsets, and Wade's sluggish performance cast a shadow over the Heat's championship journey.

Western Conference - Spurs (1) vs (0) Nuggets; Thunder (0) vs (0) Lakers; Grizzlies (0) vs (0) Rockets; Clippers (1) vs (0) Mavericks.

Eastern Conference - Knicks (0) vs (0) 76ers; Bulls (0) vs (1) Magic; Heat (0) vs (1) Celtics; Pacers (0) vs (0) Hawks.

The Knicks expressed their happiness with the two upsets born in the East, and according to the analysis of strength, the Bulls are stronger than the Magic even if they hang up a core, because the latter also folded their starting center, so it should be the Bulls who won. As for the Heat, they are better than the Celtics, but the results of these two games were unexpected by everyone, which is naturally good news.

Now the media and neutral fans still think that the Bulls and Heat should be able to win this series, but the process may be a little more tortuous.

Once these two teams play six or seven games before the winner is decided, the Knicks will be happy, and that's what they want to see the most - the best thing for the group to play seven games and the winning team will be happier if they lose one or two more players.

"The Golden Dragon is back!" This is the slogan that Madison Garden Arena spread out outside the door a week ago, and on the various stop signs and open-air advertisements in the surrounding streets, the public can also see the advertisement featuring a lively cash-colored dragon, which is the 3D projection protagonist they made at home last season, symbolizing the Oriental dragon of Emperor Wu reigning in the world.

This year, this golden dragon has grown even more hideous and domineering, and a very powerful single horn has also been born on its head. The Knicks' official explanation for this is: This single horn represents the championship that Wu Huang helped the Knicks win. This means that if the Knicks can defend their title this year, the dragon will probably grow two horns next year.

Madison Garden Arena today specially used an upgraded version of 3D projection technology for the entrance ceremony, as the first team in the NBA to use 3D projection equipment, perhaps because the Lakers and Heat also imitated this year, so the New York tycoon felt that it was necessary to upgrade the equipment to be different. As a result, the equipment that could have been used for several years was dismantled and sold to the Russian tycoon next door at a discount, and the Nets became the third team in the NBA to use 3D projection. The Knicks have upgraded their 3D projection equipment to the second generation, and today Knicks fans can more intuitively feel that the golden dragon in the field is more majestic than last year when the team enters, plus the newly upgraded audio equipment in the stadium, many fans on the scene really have a feeling of facing a real dragon.

The NBA's playoffs over the years have basically set a new global broadcast record every year, and this year is no exception, and this time more developing countries have begun to broadcast the NBA playoffs.

Due to the lack of funds, most of these developing countries only choose one or two teams for broadcasting, so only the Knicks, Heat and Lakers will benefit from this, because these countries will only choose this kind of global influence of the team to broadcast, only these three teams can bring enough advertising revenue to the TV stations of these countries, if they broadcast the Pacers or Grizzlies games, it is estimated that they will not even get back half of the investment.

Why did David Stern take special care of Jordan, Iverson, Kobe, and James, the pillars of the NBA at different times? Now it's the turn of Emperor Wu to be the most favored?

The answer to this question is actually quite simple, there can be no other reason than profit.

For example, the Philippines and Indonesia, which have been added to the broadcast countries this year, will have to pay an unaffordable broadcast fee if their stations want to broadcast the NBA playoffs, and if they can't recoup their investment, they are likely to go bankrupt.

But if they broadcast Wu Huang's game, it will be different, at that time there will be a large number of Fortune 500 companies willing to spend more money to buy advertising, which will allow these TV stations to recoup the huge investment in the early stage and achieve the purpose of profit.

The relationship is not complicated, first of all, Wu Huang's global influence is already the highest among active players, so his games can attract the largest number of fans around the world to watch, so that the ratings can be guaranteed. The lifeblood of a TV station is the ratings, as long as this can be ensured, even if a huge amount of money is spent on the broadcast rights, the major manufacturers will be willing to pay the same price to advertise, because the ratings are high enough to make their products known by the people in the region, and their brands can be launched locally, and this kind of effort is rewarding.

As a result, local TV stations and advertisers will reap the benefits, and Wu Huang's popularity will increase, and the league will be one of the biggest beneficiaries, as they have also achieved their goal of promoting the league in the region.

Finally, in this chain-type relationship, you can see that everyone has benefited from it, and everyone has got what they want.

But what if it's Duncan, or now James? Can they have a similar effect?

Of course you can, but there is no doubt that this effect will drop a lot, they can't play the effect of Wu Huang today, these TV stations and manufacturers will not get enough returns on their investment, and who will be willing to do things without benefits?

Therefore, although the strength of these stars is very strong, unless they can beat Wu Huang in the playoffs, their value will gradually not be comparable to Wu Huang, and they will not be able to help the league promote the NBA league like Wu Huang, so they are destined to not be taken care of by the league.

Take James as an example this time, he is now looked down on by various media and fans, and his popularity has also been declining under the crowd, and his commercial value has shrunk significantly compared to previous years. At this time, even if his strength is not inferior to Wu Huang, there is an essential difference in the influence and commercial value of the two, which is why NBA stars want to compete for the championship and why they don't want to lose to each other.

At the beginning of this year, the Wall Street Journal counted the most expensive NBA players in 2011, and Wu Huang's annual income in the past 12 months was $69.5 million (salary + endorsement, personal investment is not counted), becoming the league's strongest money-making machine in one fell swoop. Kobe Bryant and James followed in second and third place, respectively, but their incomes have been affected by Wu Huang, falling to $44 million and $41 million, respectively.

This phenomenon is similar to when Jordan earned more than all the other players in the NBA's top 10 combined, when a dominant player comes out, he will activate the natural law of "winner takes all", and one person will enjoy most of the benefits.

This is also the characteristic of the god of basketball in the business field, only when there is such a situation of dominance, that person can be regarded as the real god of basketball.

Wu Huang has not really reached this point now, not only because the entire NBA market has become bigger, but also because half of the contracts he signed at the beginning have not expired, and the contracts signed by Kobe Bryant and others when they were majestic have not expired. But three or four years later, if Emperor Wu can still dominate the league and the Knicks can always dominate the league like the Bulls dynasty, then he may earn more than the other three or five superstars combined, and the league will also look at its influence and continue to use him as the NBA's golden sign.

In fact, this is the fundamental reason why the league sent such a team to defend Wu Huang in the first game of the Knicks, and they hope to let some people know the bottom line through this game, so that those who understand can see the league's attitude and not try to make things.

Wu Huang himself didn't know that the league actually defended him so much, until less than three minutes after the game started, he stood on the free throw line under the 76ers' three relatively strong defenses, Wu Huang knew the referee's penalty scale today, and the 76ers also understood this, that is, the defensive action of excessive intensity, which will definitely become a foul when used on Wu Huang today.

The starting lineup of the 76ers today is: Jrue Holiday, Evan Turner, Thaddeus Young, Elton Brand, Spencer Hawes, when the first quarter just hit 9:02, Jrue Holiday, Young and Hawes have each received a foul, Wu Huang easily scored 6 points at the beginning of the free throw, helping the Knicks lead the 76ers 8-4.

The Knicks' lead wasn't too big, but Collins hurriedly called a timeout and canceled the tough defense that had been set up before the game, and as for the various small moves prepared before the game, it would be even more difficult for the players to use it.

The 76ers players may not see what's going on, but he, the coach, and the 76ers' top brass understand what the league means by now.

This kind of blowing penalty has shown the attitude of the league, although it is now the playoffs, but the league still only allows them to defend with some slightly stronger moves and intensity than usual, but those small actions and dangerous foul actions can not be taken out, the previous three fouls have been clearly expressed.

After Collins instructed the players to pay attention to their defensive movements, he looked at the referee and the technical table with a strong unwillingness in his eyes, at this moment he felt that he had become a weak person who was bullied by the power, the Knicks were already so much stronger than them in terms of strength, and the league actually didn't allow them to use some small tricks, and they even wanted to force them to be tough head-on, can you bully people a little more?

He's right, the league is doing this is tantamount to forcing a 65-kilogram lightweight fighter to compete in the ring in the same way as an 86-kilogram heavyweight champion, and then stipulating that the former can't use his feet, which is of course bullying.

But Wu Huang didn't feel any unfairness, he also encountered Kobe and James and other star whistles in the first season, at that time he and the Knicks were like the current 76ers, everyone regarded them as stupid hats with a lot of money, and the Knicks also had to accept all kinds of unfair treatment in the game.

But what he chose at that time was to use his own hands to play his own privileges, he knew from the beginning that respect and privilege have to rely on his own ability to fight, the strong will never sympathize with you, and the weak will not sympathize with you, so only relying on yourself is the way out.

If he only knew how to complain about the heavens and people, complaining that it was unfair here and not free there, where would he have the current scenery and status?

Wu Huang has now become the most privileged player in the NBA that everyone hates, although he doesn't know how much the league takes care of him, but at this time he has figured out the referee's penalty scale, and the confidence in his heart is called a foot.

After the timeout, Wu Huang broke through with the ball directly outside the three-point line, broke straight into the inside line under the cover of Gasol, and staged a wonderful one-handed slam after connecting the two!

The 76ers' defense is like tofu scum in this round, the inside players want to foul but dare not do it, and the outside players dare not stretch out their hands if they want to, which is called a grievance!

"Cowardly?" Wu Huang made two-handed preparations for this attack early in the morning, if the opponent still dragged him hard like the opening, he would return the ball to Gasol, but the 76ers players hesitated, and actually let him easily hold the ball to the basket to complete the dunk.

The 76ers' players were very aggrieved, and they also knew that they should use tougher defense to block Wu Huang's breakthrough, and they could even make some ruthless moves if necessary, so that he was a little jealous. But in the previous pause, their coach specially instructed them to be careful about their defensive movements, and many of the defenses they practiced before the game were in vain, and they were a little overwhelmed and a little dazed at the moment.

In this case, the players of the 76ers don't know how to defend at all, they have no plan to deal with this situation, and against players like Wu Huang, they expect to use regular defense to stop his outburst, which is simply impossible, and the prestige of the Holy Sect Master is not just based on the bias of the referee.

Coach Collins also knows that his orders will put his players in a dilemma, but if he doesn't do this, I'm afraid most of the starters will have two fouls in the first quarter, and this is the scale given by the league today, and he can't help it!

Today, the league's penalty scale is only set to a slightly more lenient extent than the regular season, Wu Huang likes this kind of defense with a certain amount of pressure, but will not be violated by bad actions, which allows him to give full play to his shooting advantages under a certain amount of pressure, too easy defense He doesn't like it very much, and the appropriate pressure is the best.

The 76ers were then continuously scored by Wu Huang using his personal ability, although they have used a double bag to deal with it, but Wu Huang can still use the combination of speed and technology to get a chance to shoot under the cover of his own two interior lines, and it is really difficult to defend him without a little movement.

It wasn't until later that the 76ers were in a hurry and completely let go of others to specifically intercept Wu Huang, which can be regarded as blocking the guy who was running around with a ball and ready to shoot at any time.

But being messed up by Wu Huang like this, the 76ers' defensive system has completely collapsed, and the entire formation has already been beaten to pieces. And the high hopes of the Philadelphia media before the game Zhu Holiday may also be too nervous, his physical fitness could have slightly affected Wu Huang's offense, but today he couldn't even step on the point, and he couldn't even make an effective block.

Zhu Holiday has shown the outside world that he has star potential in the past two seasons, but he played in the playoffs for the first time, and faced Wu Huang, the most famous in the league today, and his excellent defensive ability was not able to be brought into play, and he was a little unsteady in his footsteps first.

Wu Huang told the Philadelphia media with his actual performance that he must defend the bull fork if he is not tall and arm span, otherwise Tabit will not be able to get along in the NBA, and their brain-dead children will not be cut by the CBA team.

In the first quarter of the game, fans can see that Holiday often slows down or follows up too violently, and then is given a simple pause by Wu Huang, who has a good sense of rhythm, or changes the speed, he doesn't even need to change direction and make an emergency stop, it looks as easy as a junior high school student bullying a primary school student.

Holiday is a young and old player, but the pressure in the face of Wu Huang is too great, and today is fighting away again, it is difficult for him, a post-90s player, to play all his strength in this situation, and Wu Huang is a person who does not give the opponent a chance to turn over as soon as he gains momentum, Holiday received the second foul after playing 6 minutes in the first quarter, and Wu Huang at this time has easily cut 10 points and 2 rebounds, this level of suppression is too ruthless.

The 76ers then used Louis Williams as the temporary point guard, and the result was that the team's offense became a single play, and if it weren't for former captain Brand's good luck on the inside today, picking up a few rebounds and rebounds that his teammates missed, the 76ers would probably have been spent by the Knicks in the first quarter.

In the first quarter of the game, Wu Huang used his personal ability to beat the 76ers after having to frantically wrap himself, and then began to pass the ball to his teammates, although the beginning of both styles of play is to use the off-ball cover to create opportunities, but the final offensive choice is different, in the second half of the quarter, Wu Huang will choose to divide the ball in time before being surrounded by the opponent, at this time he will quickly find a route to run out to watch the play, and by the way, he will wait for the basketball that may fly back to his hand for a long shot.

The 76ers simply can't cope with the Knicks' style of play, which is not cumbersome, but can be ever-changing under the player's individual ability bonus, every time they struggle to finally surround Wu Huang or drive out of the threat area, they usually can't break the basketball in the opponent's hand, and that little thing will come to Gasol, who is also a threat. At this time, they no longer had enough forces to encircle the Spaniards, so they could only symbolically pounce on the opponent with their last strength, but the result was basically Gasol successfully transferred the ball to a more threatening point again.

In this style of play, Wu Huang actually doesn't get too many assists, but the Knicks' offensive threat has become higher, and Gasol is definitely capable of playing such a role of connecting the previous and the next, which is a more reasonable way for the team to run the ball, and will not bury Gasol's ability to respond.

Because Brand and Hawes and others could not affect Gasol's receiving strategy in the high post, the Knicks' offensive efficiency in the first quarter became very high, and the score was 38:26, if it weren't for the Knicks players who were too focused on offense today, and at the same time, under the psychology of somewhat looking down on the opponent, everyone didn't have the heart to defend, this would have been spent on the 76ers.

Wu Huang has no opinion on the team's defensive style of play, and he himself does not exert too much effort to defend, the story of the lion fighting the rabbit must not be copied stiffly, in this kind of game that is won with great certainty, saving some strength is a more reasonable way to play.

In the second quarter, the 76ers tried to strengthen their defensive intensity again, but the referee was still merciless, and Wu Huang could stand on the free throw line and do whatever he wanted. In the end, in only one first half, Wu Huang stood at the free throw line 13 times, even if the 76ers coaxed it later, but the Holy Sect Master, who was addicted to making fouls, would still take the initiative to cheat the fouls.

The 76ers' biggest problem was on full display in this game, and although they have a lot of high-quality role players on their roster, they only lack a star who can stand up when playing tough games. This situation may be made up for by collective basketball in the regular season, but when it comes to the playoffs, which rely more on individual ability, a team without the support of a reliable star is destined to go far.

The Knicks ended the first half with a 72-48 lead, and a 22-point lead allowed the Knicks to play the rest of the game as they wanted.

Wu Huang relied on free throws in the first half to cut 22 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, shooting 4 of 10, including 2 of 6 three-pointers and 12 of 13 free throws.

Gasol took on the role of half of the tactical core today, if it weren't for Wu Huang's average hand, wasting a lot of his passes outside, Gasol's 9 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists would have been more versatile.

Other Knicks players, David West 12 points and 5 rebounds, Gallinari 9 points and 2 rebounds, Iguodala 6 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, Battier 6 points......

New York's performance is basically in full bloom, and Wu Huang has never objected to them putting water on defense, just to take this opportunity to play everyone's state. An extremely fluid offense like today's is very beneficial for them to find form, so it is too cost-effective to kill the 76ers all at once, and they have to play this opponent to the fullest.
