Chapter 104: Specializing in bullying soft persimmons
The Celtics are really stable, no matter how the Knicks throw each other, the rhythm of the Green Army has not changed much, and the Big Three don't care about the mad dog style of play of the Knicks' young players, they only play six or seven minutes per quarter and go down to rest, and they can still hold steady when they come up with a group of substitutes, which is the essence of the championship team.
After three quarters, the Celtics led 69-54, and the Knicks' crazy offense was not without success, and if they played like this as soon as they came up, they might not have fallen behind so much.
The Green Army didn't take it seriously today, the Big Three didn't play much time, and even Rondo, the fourth Big Boy, was playing tightly, and there was no idea of having to share the high and low with Wu Huang, so the Knicks had every chance to win, but they were just beaten by the Green Army with a stick as soon as they came up.
Emma. Roberts couldn't help but muttered in front of the TV, "This is a steel gun stream!" She thinks that the Knicks' no-play tactics, even though they just shoot a few shots, are very similar to some teams in the CS world, and these teams don't have too many tactics, but the marksmanship is just right, and when the state comes, it is a headshot, so there is no need for any tactics.
There are some things in common between these two fields, and the team of Steel Lance may be able to become a world powerhouse, but that's about it, if you want to win the championship, you still have to have excellent tactics and cooperation. It's the same with NBA teams, if they want to win the championship, it's not enough to rely on shooting and fast breaking, but if the Knicks just want to go back to the playoffs first, this is the fastest way - fight offense in the regular season and fight defense in the playoffs, this is the consensus of most fans, if you just want to enter the playoffs. It can be done by attacking alone.
Final section. The Big Three simply sat on the sidelines. The two teams began to attack, Wu Huang scored two three-pointers in a row after the opening, and Rondo sealed his eyes, but he still threw the ball into the basket, which made the young Rondo start to stabilize.
Emperor Wu secretly shouted good luck in his heart, but he looked at Rondo with a somewhat provocative look on his face, which meant "If you have the ability, you can also come to one!" ”
Rondo really can't come, and Emperor Wu knows that this guy has broken through sharply. But the long-range shot is the same as the horse, the defensive end is one step and a half away from the defense, only to prevent the breakthrough regardless of the shot, you are lucky to be able to throw it.
It's the same way you can deal with James, and it's just as good as it is against other players who don't shoot well. But soon, Wu Huang found that he had underestimated this opponent, and his provocation did not succeed, although Rondo chose to break through, but did not insist on scoring, and the fourth big man of the Green Army ended in a split on three consecutive breakthroughs. Assist Rashid. Wallace hit three three-pointers for the Celtics.
Wu Huang put such a long distance to defend, and he was indeed able to prevent Rondo's breakthrough layup. But he still couldn't stop his passing, this guy was no worse than him, and the Celtics shot a total of six three-pointers in the quarter, four of which were assisted by Rondo. Although the Knicks also regained the feeling of scoring, the gap between the two sides is still towards 20 points, and there is no suspense about the outcome of the game.
The final score was 99:84, and the Knicks only scored 9 points in the first quarter, which was too big to dig and finally lost to the powerful Celtics.
The team lost, Wu Huang's performance was passable, he played 32 minutes and cut 20 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal and 5 turnovers, including 3 of 8 three-point shots, considering that his opponent was the increasingly famous Rajan. Rondo, Wu Huang's performance is already good. The fly in the ointment is his rebounding, which is one of his strengths, only grabbed 4 today, but Rondo, who was opposite him, grabbed 8 rebounds, and Wu Huang finally met a point guard who was better than him in rebounding.
In terms of the Green Army, the Big Three only played three quarters of games today, and the playing time was about 25 minutes, so it can be said that Rivers just let the three old guys come up today to find the state of the game, move their muscles, and have no intention of fighting with the Knicks at all.
Rondo became the Celtics' top scorer today, playing a total of 31 minutes, cutting 18 points, 8 rebounds, 11 assists, 4 steals and 1 block, including 3 steals and the only block that went to Wu Huang.
Wu Huang met a really strong opponent today, Rondo may not have given his best in the first half, but in the second half, especially when Wu Huang opened up on the offensive end, Rondo at this time has gradually become serious.
This is Rondo's fourth season with the Big Three, and the point guard, who is incredibly fast, has a more and more stable rhythm and passes the ball, has gradually stepped out from behind the Big Three and entered the ranks of star point guards.
Wu Huang is still much more immature in front of this excellent defense and experienced point guard, today he had two passes that were cut off by Rondo, and once he was directly copied by Rondo during the breakaway and hit a counterattack, and in the fourth quarter, he was attacked by Rondo's long arm when he made a layup.
Looking at it this way, once Rondo gets serious, Wu Huang still has a lot of pressure, but after all, he is a rookie, and he can have such a performance that has made the media and fans in New York very satisfied.
Wu Huang complimented Rondo after the game: "Rondo is the strongest opponent I have ever faced, he makes me feel suffocated on the offensive end, which is a dilemma that I didn't have in college, and it is also the reason why I want to play in the NBA, only against such opponents, my career will be enough challenges." ”
The media also didn't care much about the outcome of the game, and they focused on the conspicuous sneakers on Wu Huang's feet, but there was no news of the new sneakers on UA's official website.
The person in charge of the UA basketball shoe department couldn't cry or laugh after watching the game, but he didn't expect Wu Huang to really wear out this pair of beta sneakers, and they didn't have time to cooperate with the publicity.
But then again, Wu Huang's influence should not be underestimated, UA's official website forum, now full of posts asking about the new pair of sneakers on Wu Huang's feet, and the customer service phone is about to be blown up, UA The entire senior management immediately decided to hold an emergency meeting after the game to discuss speeding up the launch of this UA-Hugo-One.
On October 14, the Knicks ran to Baltimore, Maryland's largest city, against the Philadelphia 76ers.
In this game, the 76ers starters played a lot more minutes than the Knicks, basically more than 28 minutes, and Iguodala even played 37 minutes. In the final quarter, they also kept four main players on the court. Victory is a must-have.
The 76ers led 23-16 in the first quarter. The Knicks' offense has had another up-and-down, and as long as the players don't have a good hand, they don't have much to do to score. But in the second quarter, the 76ers were counterattacked by the Knicks, and Gallinari felt hot, leading the rotation lineup to start the second quarter with a wave of 12-2, and exceeded 27-24 in one fell swoop.
The Knicks won the quarter 26-14 and led 42-37 at halftime.
In the second half, the 76ers fought back. The Knicks' hand fell into freezing point again, and the 76ers regained the lead.
With the remaining 6 minutes and 30 seconds of the fourth quarter, Luis. Williams hit a three-pointer and the 76ers opened up 80-70.
After Wu Huang helped the team chase the score to 78:83, Louis . Williams forced Wu Huang to play two and one, and then hit a layup, one of them scored five points in a row, and the 76ers took another 10-point advantage.
The Knicks have since failed to close the gap to within five points and have been unable to recover.
In this game, Wu Huang met Nerve Knife Louis. Williams. This kid who is only 183cm tall is very fast, and his ability to break through and score is particularly outstanding. Wu Huang even felt that he was even stronger than Rondo's breakthrough ability.
It's not the first time he's met this type of opponent, but it's the first time in the NBA, and today he looks very passive on the defensive end, his pace can't keep up with the opponent's breakthrough rhythm, and he always slows down when he defends, and he has to watch the video again to find problems when he goes back.
But what makes Wu Huang even more unhappy is that this guy actually has two girlfriends, and they are not jealous of each other, they always watch the game together, like sisters, this Nima is too unscientific, right?
"Damn it!" Wu Huang was worried about Louis. Williams's Yanfu is envious and jealous, and many players are also jealous of this guy, and it is estimated that there are not a few people who draw circles and curse in their hearts, how can there be such a shameless phenomenon in a civilized society?
Wu Huang only played 28 minutes today, with 15 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, Gallinari's 18 points were the highest for the Knicks, and David Gallinari's 18 points were the highest for the Knicks. Lee had 16 points and eight rebounds and Ellington had 15 points.
Louis. Williams scored a game-high 22 points and four assists for the 76ers. Brand 20 points and 8 rebounds, Andre. Iguodala 16 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. Yang is 12 points.
The New York media still doesn't care about winning or losing this kind of game, they focus on D'Antoni's three preseason games with three different starting lineups, which is something worth speculating, and it can be seen that the mustache has not decided on the team's starting lineup in the regular season, and has not decided who to focus on this season?
In the first game, the Knicks' starters were: Wu Huang, Larry. Hughes, Al. Harrington, Channing. Frye, David Lee.
In the second game, the Knicks' starters became: Wu Huang, Larry. Hughes, Wilson. Chandler, Al. Harrington, David Lee.
In the third game, the Knicks' starters changed again: Wu Huang, Wilson. Chandler, Gallinari, Al. Harrington, David Lee.
Many media and fans are speculating that in the next game of the Knicks against the Nets, will they change their starting lineup again?
They guessed correctly, D'Antoni changed the formation again in this game, and the starters became: Wu Huang, Wilson. Chandler, Gallinari, Channing. Fry, David. Plum.
This time, D'Antoni completely took the two veterans Hughes and Ellington out of the starting lineup, and let the two rest in turn, and replaced them with the more athletic Chandler and the more skilled shooter Gallinari, plus the excellent running ability of the interior Channing. Frye, the Knicks' shooting ability and speed have improved significantly.
Today's game process is indeed very different from the previous games, Wu Huang also prefers to cooperate with Chandler and Gallinari, one of these two can play fast in the fast attack, the other is superb in shooting, high assist rate, can allow him to get more assists, Wu Huang of course prefers to partner with such a player, rather than with Hughes and Ellington, who are used to standing, these two often stand still and wait for him to pass, but the two of them are old and senior, Wu Huang has no good excuse to go crazy.
It can be said that the only people in the Knicks team who are not under his control are Hughes and Ellington, who are the two highest paid on the team and the team's starting second and third positions.
The most surprising thing about the Knicks' lineup is Channing. Frye, the big man pitcher who is likely to be Obama's long-lost brother, is actually more than just a pitcher, his effect on defensive blocking is surprisingly good, which is beyond the expectations of many experts and fans, after all, Frye has been unused by the Trail Blazers for the past two years, and is rarely exposed to the media.
Frye and David. Lee, one of the two is responsible for blocking and dismantling, and the other is responsible for low-post hard resistance, and the Knicks' interior defense has been somewhat improved, although it is still very bad overall.
The Knicks didn't slow down again today, they had 3 players on the court who shot more than 40% from three-point range, and the firepower was unprecedentedly ferocious. Lee's mid-range shooting and strong attack on the face frame, today's Knicks' offense is suddenly a lot more three-dimensional, at least they can also pose a little threat in the restricted area, and they are more accurate outside the three-point line, which caused the Nets to be beaten 18:31 by the Knicks in the first quarter.
Space is easy to call this a real tragedy, Qian Ning. Frye's single defense is not good, but he is the best at dealing with thin and weak running and jumping opponents, Yi Jianlian was just restrained, and he didn't score a point in the first quarter today, missing all 4 shots.
In the second quarter, Wu Huang broke out on the outside, shooting 5 of 6 in this quarter, scoring 14 points and 2 assists in a single quarter, leading the Knicks to further expand the point difference, leading the Nets by 22 points at halftime, and the game was basically no suspense.
In the second half, the Knicks did not give the Nets a chance, and the score had become 92:66 after the third quarter, and the difference between the two teams was close to 30 points, and the fourth quarter naturally became garbage time.
With a final score of 116-91, the Knicks beat the Nets again and won their second preseason.
Wu Huang's heart hurts, it seems that they can win a big bad team like the Nets now, which is not something to be happy about.
But in any case, the Knicks have beaten the Nets twice in the preseason, and the "Derby across the River" has become their world.
Space Yi only got 8 points and 2 rebounds under Frye's defense today, although he was still the Nets' starter, but he was replaced after only 6 minutes in the first quarter, which shows that he is not competent as a starter.
Wu Huang played 29 minutes today, cutting down 23 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists. Lee 20 points and 14 rebounds, Wilson. Chandler had 16 points and 8 rebounds, Gallinari 16 points, Frye 13 points and 8 rebounds, and Beal. Walker 12 points, Chris. Dujon had 9 points and 4 assists. (To be continued.) )
