Chapter 278: Status is brushed out

The Knicks have always had many tactics to cover for Wu Huang, and when they can't think of a way to score, Wu Huang's singles are the only way, and many times he won't disappoint Knicks fans! Of course, today's situation is a little different, the Knicks have a lot of ways to score today, but in order to make Wu Huang happy, in order to make him score high, the team still has only this one way to score - singles!

Nelson really wants Big Van Gundy to replace him, this feeling of not being able to prevent the opponent is too depressing, once Wu Huang's throw is smooth, he can't judge when the opponent will shoot, let alone what way he shoots?! There is a big difference between the method of defending the pull-up jump shot and the throwing shot, and Wu Huang now has more and more means of scoring, and the defender is less and less able to predict how he will finish the offense.

At 10 minutes and 28 seconds in the fourth quarter, Nelson and Howard successfully clamped Wu Huang, who broke through to the horn position, and it seemed that he had no chance to score this time, and if he wanted not to be blocked, there was only one way to pass the ball. However, this is on the premise that the defender does not make a mistake, and Howard, who has already hit the red eye today, saw Wu Huang make another throwing move, and his legs immediately bounced uncontrollably.

"Oops!" As soon as Howard's feet left the floor, he knew he was in a hurry, and he said he shouldn't jump for the ball.

Wu Huang's feint was just a meaning, and he was already planning to pass the ball in his heart, but he didn't expect such a non-realistic feint, so he shook Howard, the best defensive player, and secretly screamed "stupid" in his heart At the same time, Wu Huang's pivot foot was not so clean, and he used a turning action with a suspicious step to pass the flying Howard, and then he didn't dare to move the pivot foot again, and a flying layup scored the ball.

Nelson followed behind and wanted to scold his mother, Howard was the last line of defense, his jump not only allowed Wu Huang to kill under the basket, but also blocked his follower line, and when he bypassed Howard and rushed to the basket, the basketball had already fallen into the basket.

"56 minutes! You don't want me to cut 60+, do you? You're so polite?! Emperor Wu's continuous teasing made Howard so angry that he wanted to make a move, and several greetings with F came out of his mouth in a row. But scolding and scolding, it's better to do it, it's too expensive.

Wu Huang has now played hundreds of regular season games, and he has his own opinions on how to score points. Although he is still an inexperienced young player in front of many old rivers and lakes, he has played many divisional semifinals that old rivers and lakes have not played, and it was a top ten game.

Howard said in his heart that I also played in the Finals, so it depends on talent, some people live to be dogs, and they will always be led away.

Wu Huang also has his own way of controlling the pace of the game, and now everyone knows that he has to score 60 points, but how? When to take it? No one could have guessed. When he was still 4 points away from completing the 60+ task, he slowed down the pace of the game and didn't seem to be in a hurry to score points at all.

The Magic players were even more nervous, and Wu Huang deliberately switched from a fast pace to a slow pace as a way for him to play.

If you only use one rhythm, others will adapt sooner or later, and only by being fast and slow can you create a contrast to the enemy, make people unpredictable, and increase the psychological pressure of the opponent.

And don't look at Emperor Wu is slow now, but he can speed up at any time, and he can slow down again at any time. This will put more pressure on the Magic's defense, who don't know how the Knicks will attack as a team, let alone how Wu Huang will handle the ball, and too many variables can hide his true purpose.

Two minutes later, Wu Huang received a pass from Monroe with a simple air cut, quickly threw a shot in the left penalty area, and the basketball obediently fell into the basket.

Wu Huang gave Monroe a high-handed slap after the goal, and the Knicks, a first-year rookie, are very good at playing high positions, averaging 1.8 assists per game in limited playing time, which is a very good performance for a center who is not the team's top three offensive points.

The Knicks now plan to focus on developing Monroe's high-post playmaking and mid-range shooting, and as long as he can practice these two offensive skills, he can come in handy in a short period of time and help the team. As for the low-post skills that will take time to be honed, this is not on the Knicks' radar, because they can't wait for a star center that will take three or five seasons to mature, they just need a functional center who can pull opponents outside the box and have a precise mid-range shot.

The team's hierarchy certainly knew that their quick-win approach would fail to realise Monroe's potential. But it doesn't matter, even if his potential is fully realized, he can't become the core of a team, it is better to pull out the seedlings and help him, and completely let him grow according to Wu Huang's needs - high-level strategy, mid-range shooting, low-post single defense, defensive rebounding, this is the skill that the Knicks need, Monroe doesn't need more skills, as long as he can practice these four skills well, he is also a 10-million-level center.

A minute later, it was another pass from Monroe at the free throw line, and Wu Huang immediately jumped after receiving the ball on the right wing 18 feet, and the basketball drew a wonderful arc and fell into the net!

The New York fans in attendance began to shout Monroe's name, and their No. 6 pick had a poor preseason but had been consistent since the regular season. In fact, this also proves from the side that Monroe can't bear too much pressure now, and in the preseason, Monroe has a much heavier task than now, and he will naturally not play well at that time.

Wu Huang used Monroe's pass to increase his score to 58 points, and now he is only 2 points short of completing the second 60+ in his career, and the game is still over for most of the quarter, and the Magic team can no longer stop him.

Howard now regrets asking to play, he finds that his defense is completely useless against today's Knicks, in the past, he could use two people on the inside, which can make the outside defense more abundant, but the Knicks' lineup can be pulled all to the outside, which makes their outside defense fall into the embarrassment of insufficient numbers. And he can't defend it, because the Knicks' starting lineup has four people who can break through with the ball, and if he presses out, the Magic's interior line will be empty.

This time, less than half a minute, Wu Huang forced a breakthrough in the face of a double defense, and finally fell into a three-man trap on the penalty line, forcibly throwing the ball out......

Howard didn't make a mistake this time, he jumped up against the basketball and slapped Wu Huang's shot out, but after landing on the ground, he didn't wait for him to yell excitedly, and the referee directly blew the interference ball.

Wu Huang smiled lightly at Howard, he was in a hurry for this ball, and the basketball he threw was not to hit the basket at all, but to shoot a four-like shot with a very low arc. Judging from the replay, if this ball is not left alone, nine out of ten will not touch the basket in the end, but Howard popped out this ball and instead completed Wu Huang's 60th point with his own hands.

"I didn't interfere with the ball, it hasn't risen to the top, it's not falling yet!" When Howard saw the referee's decision, of course he couldn't be calm, he couldn't accept that Wu Huang scored the 60th point in this way.

"The replay was clear, the basketball had fallen." The referee glanced at the big screen overhead, and the replay was consistent with his judgment, the basketball had indeed fallen before it was fanned, and this block was typical of redundancy.

Wu Huang was already celebrating with his teammates at the moment, and Madison Garden was full of excited cheers from fans! His second 60+ came too quickly, and the team's 27th winning streak also gave New York fans a real hope of breaking the Lakers' 33-game winning streak, winning 6 more games and winning 10 more games, the two are not the same concept at all!

There is no suspense about the outcome of the game, but Wu Huang still has his own tasks, and in the remaining half of the game, he will continue to improve his scoring data, 60+ and 80+, and even 100 points are waiting for him.

And today, Wu Huang's task is to score 65+ points, which can allow him to move several places on the all-time scoring list, an achievement that will have a big impact on his future status in the Hall of Fame.

In fact, many old fans and so-called experts are embarrassed to say one thing, that is, the status of the celebrity party is largely brushed out...... Without that 81-point performance, Kobe Bryant's all-time status would have dropped by at least a few points, but with this magical game as a foundation, he would have been able to have a much higher all-time status than many players in his class.

Wade is the opposite textbook, his performance in the peak years is not inferior to Kobe, and even in the eyes of many people, Wade's appearance is a little better. But the problem is that he hasn't had a 60+ in his career, which is a very point-losing performance.

Maybe in the years when he was at his peak, everyone would praise him when they remembered it deeply. But what about ten years from now? At that time, when everyone mentioned Wade, would they still have any impressions?

This one...... It doesn't seem to have much impression anymore, many people will only know that he could compete with Kobe Bryant back then, but that's all.

What if in another 20 years? At that time, the fan may not even be left with this impression, because he has nothing that can really be brought out and talked about again and again. Wade is not even as good as Maddie in his entire career, at least Soft Wheat has some impressive performances for fans, he has a miracle of 35 seconds and 13 minutes, thirty or fifty years later, someone may take out his magical performance and sigh again, so as to appear that he is well-informed.

In the 4th minute and 11 seconds, Wu Huang was still on the court, and he couldn't see that he had a tired expression, his dribbling speed was ridiculously fast for a while, and he looked slow and leisurely to move forward, but as long as Nelson dared to step forward to press, Wu Huang would immediately accelerate the breakthrough and lift the entire rhythm in an instant.

This attack was a lightning raid that the Magic players expected, Wu Huang slowly dribbled to the front court, reached out to recruit his teammates to come up to cover, but before he could put his hand down, his body had already accelerated to break through.

Nelson hurriedly moved sideways, but Wu Huang stepped on Nelson's foothold first, forcing the other party to take an extra step to avoid stepping on Wu Huang's feet, otherwise most of the injuries were not Wu Huang, but Nelson was more likely to break his foot. But taking one more step will definitely affect the balance of the body, Nelson must first stabilize the balance of the body after taking this step, and Wu Huang has already gotten rid of him and killed under the basket at this time.

Howard was passively meeting Wu Huang's attack this time, and under the lack of preparation, he could only stand his position to prevent fouls.

Wu Huang threw the ball quickly, not giving Howard a chance to react at all, and the basketball had already fallen into the basket with a "boom"!

Howard only had time to raise his hand, because he didn't know if Wu Huang would use a feint to shake him, let alone jump easily, because the chance of fouling after jumping was too great, but he didn't expect that Wu Huang didn't make a feint at all and shot directly.

Wu Huang became more confident in the cheers of the fans, today he has many times to score head-on Howard, in the past he can avoid and avoid, almost always dodging and playing.

There are many tips for small and big games in the NBA, or there are more feints, because the small man does the action at a fast rate, and once he cheats the big man, he can easily score the ball. Secondly, it is to shoot quickly, take advantage of the speed and speed of the small man to score a direct touchdown, and do not give the big player a chance to react.

There are drawbacks to both methods, and true star guards, such as Kobe and Wade, can basically use a combination of the two methods, play as they want and with confidence, and it is often difficult for big men to take advantage of their height and reach.

But there must be four prerequisites here, one is solid technology, the second is excellent confrontation ability, the third is experienced, and the fourth is to have self-confidence and dare to make moves.

Wu Huang lacked confrontation ability before, had poor experience, and lacked self-confidence, and he benefited a lot from self-confidence in this game. Just imagine, if he can dominate the matchup of the active No. 1 center and score 60+ points, who else in the league can guard him?

Howard's confidence was so badly hit that when Van Gundy called a timeout shortly after, he asked to go off the court, citing the fact that they were 27 points down in the final three-and-a-half-minute and that it was impossible for them to come back from defeat.

The Magic didn't have Howard at the center, and Wu Huang quickly scored two points with a breakaway layup.

Today's Wu Huang not only played out with self-confidence, his reading of defense has also improved a lot, which may be the chain reaction brought about by the improvement of self-confidence, in the past he also saw some flaws, but he did not have the confidence to use these flaws, and he did not have the confidence to solve the problem with his personal ability, and now from Howard, he has gained enough self-confidence, and he dares to break into the tiger's den alone, and he dares to fight two or three alone and still force his shot.

In the eyes of fans, these changes are that Wu Huang's style of play is more pleasing to the eye! More than half of his scoring today was scored by layups and throws after breaking, which was extremely rare in the past, most of the time, he stopped to shoot in the middle of the range, which inevitably made people feel that his style of play was a little soft, and he did not maximize the offensive efficiency, because he could have shot a little deeper, but he always ended the offense with a jumper early.

In the final 26 seconds, when Wu Huang caused a foul on Ryan Anderson and turned his score into 68 points with a free throw, Wu Huang finally asked to go down.

The Magic's last offense will certainly drag out all the offensive time, he won't have a chance to score again, and it would be undignified to have to use the remaining two seconds to steal again.

68 points! This is already the 11th highest single-game scoring ranking in NBA history! It may be a pity that Wu Huang and Jordan are only one point apart in their career high scores, but all Knicks fans believe that Wu Huang will break through the 70+ point mark sooner or later and enter the top 10 ranks in a single game score.
