On April 24, Wu Huang opened fire on the Hawks before Game 4, saying, "I know what tactics they will use in Game 4, let's see what happens - they will foul me, but they will pretend to be just a block, and hit my layup with their bodies, which sounds like a good tactic." But if they punch us, we'll retaliate – no, let me put it another way, if they hit a few shots, I'll fight back and regain the initiative. ”

Such an arrogant person, such an arrogant person, I can't complain!

But this is not the most arrogant, that night, Emperor Wu alluded to Josh Smith is not qualified to be called the new Eagle King, of course, he did not say it so directly, the tone is still very tactful, but the implication is that Josh is overestimated.

Some media and fans feel that such words are not quite in line with Wu Huang's IQ. But if you think about it, these words may not be a hatred pulled for the purpose of deliberately attracting the opponent, in addition to creating a relatively good competition environment for teammates, such words can also provoke the opponent, killing two birds with one stone.

Yes, this is very important, in the game it is not that you are angry and you are angry, you are powerful, reason and calmness are the most important factors, those players who are easy to get up, players who are easy to be provoked by the opponent, it is generally difficult to play well in the playoffs, impulse is really the devil!

This is the tactic that Radish taught him during the chat, and there are people in CS games who like to deliberately whip the corpse during the game, not necessarily because of quality, but purely to provoke you and make you lose your cool judgment, which is very useful in the top level of competition, and it is the same regardless of the sport.

Everyone's level is about the same, I'm calm and you don't calm down, then I have a lot of chances to win.

Josh Smith is the target of his deliberate provocations, and this man is the epitome of being easy to get up. As long as you look at the he shoots with a three-point shot, but he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't throw two per game, you can know that this person is not calm enough and is easy to be impulsive, so he often makes wrong decisions, and a provocation may have an unexpected gain.

The Eagles did not have time to respond to Wu Huang's provocation for the time being. They urgently activated two point guards and put Bibby and Teague on the injury list, and that's the limit of what they can do.

The two men are Assi Law, who has not played this season, and Spiedy Claxton, who is 32 years old and out of form.

Alaussi is not very old, but his physical confrontation ability is relatively poor, and his ball sense is not good, so he has no breakthrough ability, and his three-point shot is not accurate, only the mid-range shot is not bad. He has the advantage of rarely making mistakes on the pitch, but he is too calm. In other words. He's cautious because of his lack of athleticism and ball sense, which makes it difficult to make moves on the court in NBA-caliber games, but that means he can't really do anything.

Spidy Claxton is too short, less than 180cm, and when he gets older, this defect is even worse, if he is against Emperor Wu. It's not surprising to be cut down by the Holy Sect Master by 50+.

These two people are both in the role of delivering food in the face of Emperor Wu, so after Lao Bibi was injured. Larry Drew would rather use Teague and Crawford than activate them. But now that there's no one available, you can't do without them, you can't use Crawford as a point guard all the time, right?

The players may not see the purpose of Wu's provocation, but the Hawks coaching staff knows that if Crawford and Josh are provoked or lose their cool, it will be a disaster for the Hawks. So he never dared to use Crawford to play the No. 1 position, who knows what Wu Huang will do on the field?

Now the Eagles' coaching staff knows the cunning of the yellow-skinned monkey, and he will definitely find ways to provoke Crawford and Josh during the game. As soon as he thought of this, Larry Drew couldn't help but rub his temple hard, anyone who ran into such a powerful and cunning opponent. There will be a feeling of helplessness.

It's not that they haven't thought of using some barbaric and despicable means to deal with Emperor Wu, but these can only be thought about when they are angry in their hearts, can you think of what will happen when you use conspiracy and despicable means to deal with a guy who is far smarter and sinister than yourself? What are the consequences of that?

The answer was already there, and Jeff Teague gave them a standard demonstration, which was definitely a shortcut to death.

On the same day, the New York Times praised Iguodala, who scored just 14 points in the first three games of the first round. They believe that Iguodala has been playing at his own pace, he doesn't attack easily but maintains a good defensive ability. In this series against Joe Johnson, Iguodala sometimes defended alongside Wu Huang, much to Johnson's discomfort. While they had some problems defending the Hawks' perimeter core in the first two games, it had to do with the team's overall constrainment.

According to reporters' interviews with the Knicks' in-team training, Iguodala is in good physical condition and his energy is full. The rest of the Knicks players were similar, and they didn't look very tired, which was key in Game 4.

Speaking to reporters on the sidelines after training, a sweaty Iguodala said about the difference between defending Joe Johnson in the last game and the previous two games: "He's a great player, he's got a lot of points, but we feel like we're paying a little bit for him to get those points, and it's going to get bigger and bigger, that's the difference." ”

Iguodala laughed heartily when talking about his score: "I'm enjoying my role right now, I've actually got a lot of points, 14 points per game is not very low, we have a lot of good scorers on the team now, so I don't have to force myself to shoot as many shots, you can see that my scoring efficiency has improved significantly, and I think that's the most important thing." ”

He then explained again: "This is our team, we are not a team with just one person. While Hugo is so vital to us, we're a team that plays team basketball and we've been successful on it, so why should we change? ”

Speaking about the team's goals, Iguodala, who also made it to the second round of the playoffs, said: "We're just going to win this game, we don't care what happens next week, we're just going to play this series and win Game 4." ”

April 25th. Game 4 of the first round officially begins, and the Knicks and Hawks game is the first in the league, and the Nuggets and Jazz game will be 45 minutes later, which will be a national live broadcast.

"I would say it's not an honour because it means that a lot of people feel like we can only play four games. That's why they gave us a "farewell" national live broadcast at this time, and they felt that this should be our last battle. At the pre-game press conference, Wu Huang ruthlessly launched a mockery against those who made the playoff schedule.

The reporters in the audience laughed, Wu Huang was really right, the league estimated in advance that the Knicks might be swept away, so they were listed as a national live broadcast in the fourth game, which can be regarded as a special care for the largest metropolis in the United States, and let them have a farewell performance in front of the national public, which should stimulate the ratings.

Many Wu Huang fans said secretly. "Their emperor is really bold, he dares to say this directly, isn't he afraid of offending the alliance?"

Of course, Emperor Wu is not afraid, there is something to understand, as long as he doesn't directly hit the alliance and Stern's face, he can die casually. Because the more Wu Huang can attract the attention of the media and become the focus of fans' discussions, the more he will be loved by the league. The more care you get.

Now that the league has reached the transition between the old and new generations of fans and stars, the league must find a way to introduce new idol superstars to attract a new generation of fans. And these new fans are not very old, and they are somewhat rebellious, so Wu Huang's character is somewhat of a favorite.

What players do young fans like the most? Of course, it is those players who have a gorgeous style of play, the appearance of an idol star, the height and figure of a normal person, and at the same time have a positive but slightly rebellious outlook.

D'Antoni is relaxed now. He and his coaching team only need to think about the content of the game, and Wu Huang alone helped him solve it all on the sidelines. He doesn't have to worry about the psychology and emotions of his players, Wu Huang is responsible for spurring and criticizing those who make mistakes, and Iguodala is responsible for decompressing his teammates and encouraging these poor guys who have been educated by Wu Huang. Such a worry-free situation. It's the first time D'Antoni has experienced it, and Wu Huang is like half a coach.

It may not be clear to the outside world, but D'Antoni knows that this team atmosphere is actually better than most teams, at least in terms of execution and discipline, no one in the league can be higher than the current Knicks except for James' Cavaliers.

Emperor Wu is really like an emperor in Nix, his words are holy decrees, and no one dares to disobey his orders. He asked the players to follow the coach's tactics, and only D'Antoni's voice could be heard in the entire dressing room; He asked the players to work hard in the second half, and even Gallinari did not dare to be lazy; Which attack he wants or how to play at what time, and that's how the team will play in the end......

This kind of disciplined team tends to be more effective in the playoffs, and a team with loose discipline will become a plate of loose sand once it encounters a headwind, and it is difficult to calm down, and if it is not done well, it will also produce negative hazards such as infighting. But this will not happen to the Knicks, even if they are defeated once or twice, but next time they will regroup, because as long as Wu Huang is here, the Knicks will not be chaotic, and the team's combat power can be fully released.

Why was James able to bring the Cavaliers, who are not particularly strong, to the Finals? The reason is that there is only one voice in the team, and all the players are tied to James, as long as this gorilla's ability is enough, this team can be carried far by him.

Of course, no matter how strong a person is, he can't win the championship in the end, so even if the little emperor can reach the finals in the worst period of the East, he can only be swept by the real champion team. Once the East is no longer in decline, it will be difficult for the Cavaliers to even make it to the Finals again.

The current Knicks are very similar to the Cavaliers of the year, but the current Wu Huang is not as strong as the current James, and the Eastern teams are also getting stronger one after another, otherwise the Knicks VS Cavaliers game will definitely look good.

For the first time in his life, D'Antoni met a real leader like Emperor Wu, and while sighing in his heart, he said at the press conference: "I think they will do something different, but I don't know what it will be." We have to be clear about what we want to aim for, and if they flank Hugo, we have to attack them elsewhere and score from other directions. Get into the three-second zone and get quality shots. That's what we're aiming for. ”

After the Knicks players answered a few questions from reporters, they quickly ended the pregame press conference and the whole team went to the locker room for final preparations.

D'Antoni began to make the final instructions for the team in the locker room, and the whole locker room was instantly silent among the players, and after Wu Huang's last rectification and criticism, the Knicks players no longer dared to speak when the coach laid out the tactics. D'Antoni couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it was too TM and worry-free!

After D'Antoni laid out the tactics, Wu Huang stood up for a five-minute pre-game mobilization for everyone, of course, the content of what he said was written for him in advance by the team behind the scenes, this speech was not only witty, but also made the Knicks players feel impassioned and enthusiastic!

In order to increase the effect of his speech, Lao Tzu specially invited professionals to tutor him in speech skills, and also found a guy who wrote movie scripts to write the script. You bastards have a dutiful boss like me, it's time to burn incense and make a vow. Wu Huang was very satisfied with his speech, as if he had come up with the content himself, and he even wanted to introduce this writer to the official website of the Knicks, and replace the sparsely written JW.

After the team played, Wu Huang even saw dozens of fans in the stadium holding up a huge poster more than ten meters long and several meters wide.

This scene alone is really big enough, but the above content makes Emperor Wu want to vomit blood. Because what is printed on it is actually his ancient costume wearing the undefeated costume of the East, doesn't this make him a eunuch?

The most infuriating thing is. There are actually a few eye-catching Chinese characters on it, which read: "Holy Sect Master, Wen Cheng Wude, Ze is born by the common people; The Holy Sect Master, for thousands of years, dominates the rivers and lakes". If you have Chinese, forget it. Chinese is actually translated into English, this is a live broadcast in the United States!!

Emperor Wu was very worried that his image would be ruined because of this, but in fact, how did the Americans know that Dongfang Undefeated was a eunuch? They only felt that Emperor Wu was so handsome after wearing this bewitching ancient Chinese costume! Especially the one is full of classical atmosphere. But the enchanting red clothes with a modern sense, anyway, Christine and Emma Watson are already full of little stars, Wu Huang's figure and appearance are matched with such clothes, for those girls who have a tendency to pull la, it is no less than a nuclear bomb, and the lethality is too strong!

Of course, after Wu Huang's game, there must be more British fans behind him, his amazing women's clothes will not only make him the holy sect leader in the eyes of female fans, but also make him a veritable emperor in the eyes of countless male friends, and even many members of the FFF group turned his PS outfit into their own desktop after the game.

Taylor Swift was looking at the huge poster with a jealous look in the VIP room at this time, Wu Huang's skin is better than her, and even her eyelashes are much longer than her, this is where she has always been very unhappy, and even when she sleeps, she will often unconsciously pinch Wu Huang to vent, she can't imagine that Wu Huang really wants to paint a woman's makeup, will she be much more beautiful than her? However, judging from this poster that has been photoshopped, if Emperor Wu really paints a woman's makeup, eighty percent will be much more beautiful than her, which is really damned!

Emma Roberts was looking at the poster with a brainless look, and she thought it was funny, so sometimes the brain is too big, and the worries become more, in fact, it is just too much thinking.

Such a big scene naturally made the later Hawks players a little less calm after they came out, mainly because their backup interior Jason Collins was walking, perhaps because he was too distracted by Wu Huang's huge poster, and knocked his head coach Larry Drew into a, which immediately caused the New York fans to laugh!

Charles Barkley, who commented the game, also laughed with the fans in the live broadcast seat, of course, ****** also said: "As soon as Hugo entered the NBA, he was considered the face of the entire league. ”

Kenny Smith didn't think about it, but he said something he regretted very much: "I think he needs to be careful of some people...... before he could finish saying this, he knew that he had fallen for the ******, and that he would be complained by countless comrades afterwards.

The starting lineup of the Knicks has not changed, it is still the same: Wu Huang, Iguodala, Gallinari, Channing Frye, David Lee.

The Hawks' starting lineup was unchanged except for the point guard changes: Assi Law, Joe Johnson, Marvin Williams, Josh Smith, and Al Horford.

David Lee beat Horford on this jump, giving the Knicks their first jump win of the playoffs.

As soon as Wu Huang got the ball, he accelerated to the front court amid the cheers of the fans in the audience, and there were still two big steps away from the three-point line. He directly assaulted Assi Rau and showed an attitude of no one in his eyes.

But Assi Law's movement was half a beat slower, and he was clearly not comfortable with the intensity of the playoffs, watching Wu Huang pass by him.

The Hawks' two interior players were also too late to guard against it, and Josh Smith reacted quickly, but only had time to turn half the way. Wu Huang had already turned into a flash of lightning to complete the layup, and he scored the first goal for his team less than five seconds into the opening game.

The cheers in the Madison Garden arena were about to explode, and Wu Huang opened the game with a resolute break to tell the Eagles that he was still heading for 40+ today.

There are definitely not many players in NBA history who can cut 40+ in three consecutive games in the playoffs, and they can be counted on one hand, Wu Huang is ready to become one of these few people today, he doesn't know if there will be a chance to meet a playoff team with such a weak point guard in the future, and he will have to score high points in the remaining games to be worthy of himself.

The Eagles have resorted to a trap tactic against Wu Huang. But in less than 3 minutes of the opening game, Wu Huang scored 9 points with free throws to help the Knicks lead 9:2, and only two people couldn't prevent Wu Huang's explosion at all!

Joe Johnson's weight of 240 pounds is not suitable for a fast and flexible player like Wu Huang, he is limited by tonnage, and the effect of assistance defense is also very average, Iguodala also consciously pulled him away to the weak side, and the Hawks can only use interior players to contain Wu Huang.

But here comes the problem, Alausi has not carried out a team drill to defend Wu Huang at all. He didn't know how to play with Josh to defend, and he wasn't even as good as Teague in that regard.

Emperor Wu discovered. Today, he directly used his speed to force a breakthrough with the best effect, Alausi's pace is not fast, and he can't use the help of his teammates, which is simply a better point boy than Teague.

Larry Drew called three long and short timeouts in the first half of the quarter, but to no avail, Wu Huang was able to use his speed and explosiveness to force Alauthi. I don't reason with you at all. In the end, when the Hawks couldn't bear to defend with three players, he was able to easily send the basketball to his teammates who were in the open position, which was simply an existence that could not be defended.

New York fans began to taunt the Hawks players halfway through the first quarter, and the scene of Game 3 was repeated today. At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks led by 19 points at 38:19, and it was a huge disparity of almost 20 points in the single quarter.

The Hawks players were once again blinded by the Knicks at the Madison Garden Arena, and in the last three minutes of the first quarter, the Atlantans, who had the new Hawks, were a little upset, and they couldn't control their emotions a little.

Josh Smith was taunted by Wu Huang, and in the next attack, he directly shot an ultra-long-distance three-pointer, but naturally he didn't score, and the Knicks seized the opportunity to play a counterattack.

The offense stimulated the psychology of the Eagles' players, and some players finally couldn't control their emotions.

Joe Johnson was very dissatisfied with this wave of investment, and stepped forward to complain about Josh, but he didn't expect these few words of complaint to directly ignite Josh's anger, and he was still unhappy that Johnson was 3 in 0 in front of Iguodala, and immediately choked back a few words, and the conflict between the players was about to erupt.

Horford hurriedly stepped forward to separate the two, and Larry Drew yelled on the sidelines and quickly replaced Josh Smith.

Even if they lose this game, the aggregate score of the two teams is only 2:2, they still have a home advantage, and everything is not as bad as it seems! But if this game causes infighting between the team's two big men, it's all over, and that's what the Knicks want to see the most.

The Hawks because of this discord on the court, the players have begun to lose patience, in the last few minutes of the first quarter there were several unreasonable shots, and the "cooperation" between each other has already gone to hell, if it weren't for Wu Huang's two three-pointers at the end of the line, the Knicks could lead by 25 points in the first quarter.

Wu Huang shot 6 of 10 in the first quarter, including 1 of 4 three-pointers and 3 of 3 free throws, and his layups and close-range shots were extremely accurate today, but the accuracy of the three-point shot was a little off track, otherwise he would definitely have scored more than 15 points in this quarter. (To be continued.) )
