Chapter 109 Minotaur, Yao Mingchui (22,000 words per day, kneeling for a monthly pass, subscription!) )
On January 1, the NBA officially announced the list of winners of the major awards in December.
The Eastern Conference Player of the Month was won by Yao Ming.
Although Wade's performance in December was also eligible for the award, the judges voted for Yao Ming after a fair and objective analysis.
The Western Conference Player of the Month was won by Bryant.
In December, Bryant averaged 30.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game for the Lakers.
This season, as Wang Shuo remembers, after breaking up with O'Neal, in order to prove that he is not unable to pass, Kobe Bryant did spend a lot of effort in organizing the team's offense.
Trivia, if you leave aside the future season when Kobe Bryant only played 6 games and the 12/13 season......
The 04/05 season was the season in which Kobe Bryant averaged the most assists per game in his career.
In this life, although the way of "ok" breakup is more peaceful.
But after the breakup, O'Neal and Kobe Bryant will still be as vindictive as Wang Shuo remembers.
In addition, the Eastern and Western Rookie of the Month of the Month in December was won by Ben Gordon of the Bulls and Jefferson of the Grizzlies.
This season, the Bulls currently sit eighth in the East and have a good chance of making the playoffs for the first time since Jordan retired.
And after the trade took Atay......
Don't say it, the grizzly bear is really on the right track.
Battier may not be as good as the peak Atay in terms of individual ability, but his attitude on the court is far better than that of Atay during the Grizzlies.
The Grizzlies have young interior twin towers on the inside, Battier and Jackson on the wings, and even Earl Watson at the point guard position after trading away "White Chocolate."
Of course, compared to the other four positions, Watson is certainly not the ideal answer for this Grizzlies team at the No. 1 position.
Jerry West plans to wait until the time is right to trade the Grizzlies for a star guard or a high-pick draft pick to come back with the draft picks he previously traded from the Heat, plus the Grizzlies' own draft picks and some players.
'05 is a famous year for point guards, and he and Riley have been back to PY, but when it comes to building a team, West's vision is also at the level of a traverser.
In fact, every year in January, in addition to the competition, the teams are also busy collecting information about the rookies who are going to participate in this year's draft.
In late September last year, one day when Brown was put in charge of the team's training, Wang Shuo, who knew that after becoming the head coach of the Knicks, it would be difficult for the Knicks to poach treasures from other teams through trades in the future, successfully blocked Rondo at the gate of the University of Kentucky.
Rondo didn't expect the NBA's triple crown coach to come to talk to his little-known self......
At that moment, in addition to being flattered, Langdo also made up his mind in his heart.
Especially when chatting with Wang Shuo, the tactical concepts that Wang Shuo explained to himself directly refreshed Rondo's three views.
Perhaps, Rondo's personality will be eccentric in the eyes of some.
But for Wang Shuo, who is accustomed to seeing problem children, Rondo's personality problem is not even a problem.
"If you're going to develop your offensive ability in college, I suggest you try your hand at a three-pointer."
In Wang Shuo's memory, although Rondo, who has developed three-point shooting ability in the future, cannot be compared with those point guards who are ready to talk at every turn.
But in Wang Shuo's view, as long as Rondo can practice an average level of fixed-point three-pointers, then his role on the court in the future will be infinitely magnified in the Knicks' tactical system.
In order to help Rondo complete the three-point training, Wang Shuo also specially asked England to come to the University of Kentucky.
Rondo, who is 185 cm tall, had an arm span of 206 cm when he entered the alliance for a physical test in Wang Shuo's memory.
And because he also has big hands, for a long time in the future, Rondo did not find the most suitable shooting position for him.
However, as the future shooting coach of Kawhi Leonard, what England does best is helping these players with long hands and big hands find the shooting moves that work best for them.
On this day, after observing Rondo's shooting drills for a while, England saw his problem at a glance: "You see, when he shoots, his arms are flipped outward, and he doesn't borrow his strength very well when he takes off.
I'm going to design a two-part shot for him that fits his size better.
This gives full play to his reach. ”
Wang Shuo asked, "What level do you think his future shooting can reach through acquired training?" ”
After pondering for a while, England said: "Actually, many people don't understand that shooting is a very talented skill in basketball.
As a result, even if Rajan tries hard, his shooting will hardly be as good as his handling and passing.
However, it is certainly okay to reach the NBA average. ”
Wang Shuo smiled and said, "That's enough, Qipu." ”
Of course, Wang Shuo knows that shooting is a very talented skill.
For example, many people in the future have disassembled and learned Stephen Curry's shooting posture.
But, no matter how hard they try, they are destined to never reach Curry's heights.
Because shooting is such a talent for eating.
In the NBA, many sharpshooters who have been trained hard by hard training are actually players with a certain shooting talent.
When it comes to basketball as a sport, hard work is of course important.
But no matter how important it is, no one really thinks that everyone can become Kobe Bryant by training, right?
Wang Shuo never imagined how accurate Coach Lang could be to shoot, but as long as his shooting was average.
After all, Wang Shuo knows very well how he remembers how Rondo's career long-range two-point shooting rate of 38.7% that was blown up by Lang Mi came from.
Don't be funny, just Lang instructed that mid-range shot, you can basically understand that it is a shooting opportunity directly given to him by the opponent.
But just that, he is only 38.7%......
To put it bluntly, as long as Coach Lang can follow England's guidance, complete the shooting with a shooting posture that is more suitable for him, and can ensure that his shooting is above average, with his ball control and passing, he is enough to be the starting point guard of the Knicks next season.
……
On the 2nd, after the New Year's Day holiday, the Knicks started a new round of road trips to the West.
On the night of the 2nd, after defeating the Timberwolves in the bitter cold of the north, on the night of the 4th, on the Denver Plateau, the Knicks successfully sent their first blood of 2005.
This year, Stern didn't arrange that disgusting back-to-back highland away from home to Wang Shuo.
But......
Every January, the away game in the Northwest Division is definitely the last away game that any NBA team wants to play.
In addition to Seattle's relatively pleasant climate, the entire Northwest Division is not only home to the most famous Denver Plateau and Utah Plateau, but also Portland and Minnesota in January are also notoriously cold.
Especially Minnesota.
On the evening of the 2nd, just came out of the stadium, no matter how much he dressed, Wang Shuo could feel the biting cold wind.
As for the Denver Plateau, that's not to mention.
This season, paired with the Denver Plateau, it's nothing short of devil's away.
Of course, on the evening of the 4th, in the Nuggets' victory over the Knicks, Anthony's performance was indeed remarkable.
This season, as the members of the 03 Golden Generation gradually widen the gap, Anthony and Wade are currently called on the road:
- "Watermelon with East Cheeks".
In this game against the Knicks, Anthony hit 13 of them in 27 games, including free throws and three-pointers, for a total of 37 points, plus seven rebounds and two assists.
In this life, the tactical innovation that Wang Shuo brought to this time and space also affected Anthony's future development.
Last summer, at the suggestion of his trainer, while gaining muscle, Anthony also worked intensively on his three-point shot.
Anthony, who would not have averaged six three-pointers per game on the outside until the Knicks era, has averaged five three-point shots per game this season and shot 34.5% from the field.
Although this shooting percentage is not very accurate, it indirectly increases Anthony's scoring efficiency on the court.
After all, if you grow two points, you will also pull out three points......
So why not pick three points to pull?
The only regret is that Anthony doesn't seem to realize that it is not his ability to solve the problem that is holding him back from moving to the next level.
It's his style of play that is always a "two threats" on the court.
In Wang Shuo's previous life, the season when Anthony successfully reached the Western Conference finals was the season when he averaged the most assists per game in his career.
That year, under the guidance of Big Brother Billups, it was thought that Anthony would be able to stay sweet.
But who would have thought that this "melon" is only ripe, not quality.
Once it expires, it will be immediately poisoned.
On the 6th, the Knicks suffered another defeat on the Utah Plateau.
This season, the Jazz, who poached Boozer and Harprin, were originally considered by people to be a team that qualified to compete for a ticket to the Western Conference playoffs.
However, the veteran coach Sloan made the decision to prepare for the 05/06 season in advance.
As a master pick-and-roll, Sloan is well aware of the importance of a good point guard for pick-and-roll play.
So Sloan doesn't have anything else to ask for this season, as long as the Jazz don't win as many games as possible.
Therefore, on the evening of the 6th, this game with the Knicks, on the surface, it seemed that the Jazz won by virtue of the home advantage, but in fact, it was ......
It's a classic lose-lose game.
……
Suffering a two-game losing streak at the start of the new year, the Knicks had a bad start to 2005.
Fortunately, on the 8th and 9th, after defeating the SuperSonics and the Trail Blazers back-to-back, the Knicks successfully stopped the team's losing streak.
On the 12th, after a two-day break in New York, the Knicks faced the Lakers at Madison Square Garden at home.
This season, the Lakers are currently seventh in the West and are expected to make the playoffs.
It is worth mentioning that before the start of this game, Kobe Bryant also ran to the Knicks bench and told Wang Shuo the name of his youngest son:
Macarone Bryant.
Wang Shuo pondered in his mind for a while and then said, "In Italian, this is the meaning of macaroni, right?" ”
Kobe Bryant smiled and nodded, "I'm sure he'll love the name when he grows up." ”
Then, Wang Shuo also chatted with Kobe Bryant about football for a while.
As a fan of AC Milan, Kobe Bryant had no idea how happy he was at this moment.
Because you must know that the year before Wang Shuo's crossing, AC Milan won the Serie A championship trophy again after 11 years.
Kobe didn't expect Wang Shuo to be interested in football, but ......
The two chatted happily.
This night, how should Wang Shuo target Kobe, or how should he target Kobe.
The only fly in the ointment in Wang Shuo's eyes is that because the Knicks' current front line cannot be compared with the Wizards of the year in terms of hardness, he did not listen to Kobe's "solo concert" very much on this night.
In this game, with Yao Ming's excellent play, the Knicks won easily.
After trading O'Neal, the Lakers' interior line is currently led by Chris Meme.
As one of the opponents that Yao Ming likes to fight in Wang Shuo's memory, Mime's speed is slow, and he can't effectively interfere with Yao Ming in height.
In this game, Xiao Yao shot 14 of 22 from the field, including 1 of 3 three-pointers and 11 of 12 free throws, scoring a total of 40 points for the Knicks, plus 14 rebounds.
In the past, during the Houston period, although Yao Ming could often hit 20+ in the game.
But this season, Yao Ming has taken the appetite of Chinese fans to a new level.
Do you dare to believe that after Yao Ming's 40-point game, the news headline given by the domestic media was "Yao Ming's recent form has declined slightly, and he only scored 40 points tonight"?
On the 14th, after bidding farewell to the Lakers, Wang Shuo led the Knicks to continue to host the Spurs.
In this game, in the game, Sima Bobo, who frantically restricted Xiao Yao from receiving the ball on the court, although he had the last laugh with the Spurs' strong overall lineup, but in any case, he couldn't be happy afterwards.
Because as time went on, he discovered that Duncan hadn't eaten the carrot cake he always bought for him at the door when the team played away games......
Popovich was already aware of the risk of being "minotaur".
Especially in this game, what made Popovich very annoyed was that Duncan actually ran to the Knicks bench many times to chat with Wang Shuo during the dead ball of the game.
It's no secret that Duncan doesn't really like to laugh.
But on this night, according to Popovich's incomplete statistics, Duncan laughed at least 10 times, but 11 times.
Moreover, Popovich, who originally wanted to have a good talk with Duncan after the game......
No matter how much I searched, I couldn't find Duncan.
It wasn't until the Spurs were ready to fly back to San Antonio that Duncan came to join the team with a smile on his face.
As for what Duncan went to do in the two hours he was gone......
Then no one knows.
After all, playing in the NBA is not going to jail.
Is it good that the players also have free time before and after the game?
"Tim, I'm worried about you, what the hell did you just do?" After Duncan got back on the plane, Parker, who had been sent by Popovich to spy on intelligence, asked curiously.
After turning his head and rubbing Parker's head, Duncan smiled, "I didn't do anything, I just had a late night snack with a friend with whom I had a good relationship." ”
Parker scratched his head, "How come I don't remember, you have particularly good friends in New York?" ”
Duncan smiled at Parker again and said, "He didn't come to New York for long. ”
A friend with a very good relationship, who has just arrived in New York not long ago?
This night, Popovich was in a hurry.
It's really urgent.
Because in his opinion, no matter what, he can't afford to lose Duncan.
Just like the West cannot afford to lose Jerusalem.
In Popovich's eyes, there is only one way to keep Duncan right now.
That is to find a way to lead the Spurs to win this year's championship!
When the time comes, I will be reasonable and affectionate to Duncan.
Popovich, who has always been good at PUA, believes that as long as the Spurs can win the championship this year, he is sure that he can redeem Duncan's heart, which is likely to have been snatched away by some slut.
……
On the 16th, Wang Shuo and the Knicks ushered in another highlight that was broadcast live in the United States in New York.
As one of the biggest hurdles for Yao Ming to win the regular season MVP this year, Steve Nash and the 76ers, known as the "Eastern Suns", are only fifth in the East.
But from the perspective of individual performance, after switching to D'Antoni's arms, Nash, who can average 17.8 points and 11.4 assists per game this season, is definitely Yao Ming's number one competitor.
This season, due to the East gaining more attention......
Therefore, if Stern does not consider giving the regular season MVP to the Heat, Pistons, and Celtics who are currently overpowered......
Whoever can get a higher ranking on the team of Yao Ming and Nash has a good chance of becoming the regular season MVP in the 04/05 season.
Of course, at present, in terms of public opinion, Nash will definitely not be able to compete with Yao Ming, who is about to be blown by the New York media as the No. 1 center in history.
But in order to put an end to all accidents, Wang Shuo knew that this night, he had to teach his eldest disciple Mike D'Antoni a good lesson!
On the court, after the warm-up of the players of the two teams, the big screen on the scene gave the start of the two teams tonight.
76ers: Haywood, Iguodala, Kyle Korver, Hamilton, Nash.
Knicks: Yao Ming, West, Hill, J.R. Smith, Duhon.
Considering Hamilton's physical strength that almost killed him back then, Wang Shuo decisively pressed Hardaway on the bench tonight.
If nothing else, it is mainly to take care of the competition experience of the old comrades.
Smith is often distracted during games, but he is young enough to barely catch up with Hamilton.
However, after taking a look at D'Antoni's starting lineup tonight, Wang Shuo can understand why the 76ers will average 108 points per game this season while conceding a staggering 106 points per game.
Because on the field, except for Heywood, who can barely carry it......
No matter how strong Iguodala is, he is just a rookie now.
As for the 76ers outside line, this brother three.
Hamilton defended well, but was limited by his physicality.
As for Korver and Nash......
On the court, after the jump ball, the Knicks attacked first.
After the elder Hill took the initiative to ask for the ball on the wing, a clean crossover shook Korver and went straight to the 76ers basket.
This summer, Heywood, who managed to lose weight, was in place.
But Old Hill had already seen his bad intentions, and threw the ball directly into the sky, only to see the 76ers basket, the Tyrannosaurus Rex looked up to the sky and hit it with one hand!
Madison Square Garden, Yao Ming's domineering empty dunk, in the eyes of Knicks fans, it is simply Mars hitting the earth and exploding!
Love-hate Stars and Stripes Old New York is like that.
This season, in the eyes of New York fans, even if Yao Ming is a fart, in their eyes, he is fragrant.
Don't ask, the question is how can Ewing's "soft egg" be as dominant as Yao Ming in the NBA game?
Coming back, the 76ers attacked.
While there are a bunch of defensive problems, the 76ers' offense is really imaginative.
In the process of dribbling forward, Nash suddenly passed the ball from behind to Korver's hand in the bottom left corner after making two consecutive changes of direction.
Swish!
Korver hit a three-pointer to make it 3-2.
On the Knicks bench, Brown said: "Mike has been outrageous this season, the 76ers have averaged 30 three-pointers per game under him. ”
Hearing this, Wang Shuo thought to himself after smiling slightly: Then you don't know that in the future, the team he will lead will account for half of the team's total shots.
If you don't throw 40 or 50 three-pointers in a game, you won't be happy!
Come back, the Knicks have the ball.
Du Hong, Smith, and Yao Ming teamed up to launch a pistol.
Yao Ming intends to pull Hey Wu out to fight tonight.
This ball, after Yao Ming blocked the outside bomb, Heywood did not dare not follow, but because of this, he could not complete the delay of Du Hong.
After giving Nash, who can live as long as he is a person, Du Hong cut into the basket and hit the board for a layup.
"How do I feel that Steve's defense is not as good as Allen?" Brown complained.
Wang Shuo nodded and said, "You can remove the word feeling." ”
Tell the truth.
If you really want to defend, Iverson can really defend better than Nash.
Because despite Iverson's height, Iverson has a great reach and is more athletic than Nash.
Of course, in the NBA, defense is better than Nash, and it's not something particularly worth bragging about.
It was the 76ers' turn to attack.
This ball, after Haywood blocked and dismantled Nash in the high post, Wang Shuo noticed that the 76ers were also attacking with a pistol.
Hamilton has excellent running ability, and in this life, he has developed a stronger three-point shooting ability under the advice of Wang Shuo.
Coupled with Nash's elusive passing, this 76ers team is really good for handjob tactics.
From the outside, Hamilton hit a three-pointer.
6 to 4.
This 76ers are really accurate.
Wang Shuo feels that if he can, the Knicks still have to find a way to challenge the Atlantic Division, the Celtics' class position.
Because of the regular season, maybe the 76ers will often lose some games inexplicably because of their poor defense.
But it's really the playoffs......
Plus Crawford sitting on the bench for this 76ers.
Who said this 76ers couldn't vote for the dead?
Wang Shuo didn't want to be taken away directly by the 76ers in the playoffs for 4 consecutive games.
Therefore......
With the current Celtics already in the regular season, they have begun to recuperate......
Wang Shuo feels that as long as the Knicks work hard, third place in the East is not an impossible task.
On the court, the Knicks attacked.
Yao Ming played Heywood this time.
When he was about to make a hand-to-hand pass to Old Hill, Xiao Yao turned around coldly and cut into the basket.
In order to make up for his teammates, Heywood's ball could only helplessly become Xiao Yao's background board.
Bang Dang——!
On the court, with the Tyrannosaurus Rex roaring again, Knicks fans suddenly boiled.
However......
Before Knicks fans could sing the "Yao Song" for Yao Ming as usual, and when he came back, Nash completed his "despicable and shameless" sneak attack!
After noticing that Dujon deliberately let go of his side to break through, Nash suddenly pulled the ball, followed by a cold arrow that Nash said was fast.
Swish!
"They're too accurate tonight, aren't they?" Looking at the 76ers in tonight's opening three-point trivial, Brown said with a depressed face.
Wang Shuo could only smile bitterly at this moment.
Because that's what the three-point team is.
When they're on target, unless your defense can do something to interfere with them every time they shoot......
Otherwise, a team like the 76ers will really be in good shape, and anyone can win.
Coming back, the Knicks attacked.
Smith's ball showed his talent.
After borrowing West to cover the sudden air cut, he received a pass from Duhon, soared into the air, and completed the finish with a very flowing two-handed dunk.
9 to 8.
76ers possession.
This time, it was Nash, Hamilton, and Heywood who fired the pistol.
Jr. Smith was not as experienced defensively as Hardaway and lost his defense against Hamilton.
Fortunately, the Mask Man's shot missed, shocking the fans at the scene in a cold sweat.
Wang Shuo knows that if the Knicks want to win tonight, they must punish the 76ers' defense with offense.
This ball, after West made a cover for Yao Ming at the free throw line, Yao Ming quickly went down.
On the flank, Hill gets on the ball in the first place.
Under the basket, Yao Ming faced the "youth version of the first brother" after winning the ball, and the Tyrannosaurus Rex-style two-handed dunk was successful!
Iguodala, who had just joined the league, was nowhere near thick enough on his elbows.
Using him as a power forward for D'Antoni would certainly sacrifice some interior defense.
Madison Square Garden, tonight's first quarter of the game, turned into a battle of offense.
The 76ers are pure and undefended.
The Knicks, on the other hand, were shot by the 76ers.
In addition, Nash's desire to attack in this game is also higher than usual.
It turned out on this night that there are no superstars in the NBA who are not strong in winning or losing.
As one of the favorites for regular season MVP this season, Nash certainly knows what this game means to him.
Fortunately, after gradually adapting to the rhythm of Nash's game, Duhong made a miraculous achievement in this section!
Again, that's the same sentence.
As one of the most underrated defenders with the ball in this league, as long as you are not the kind of Baron Davis who can beat Du Hong with his physical fitness, or the kind of player like Arenas who can't reach Du Hong, the "Du Xiaosi" in the eyes of Chinese fans in this life is definitely a defensive point guard above the level line.
In Wang Shuo's previous life, in his career record with Nash, Du Hong was not only able to limit Nash's shooting rate to about 46% as a regular of the "180 Club", but also limited Nash's three-point shooting rate to 32.4% in the game.
Of course, Duhon's desperate defense is also very dependent on the body.
The reason why he retired at the age of 30 in the future is related to the fact that he can no longer take on defensive tasks on the field as before after his physical fitness has declined.
Nash is on track tonight.
And every time he misses a shot, Knicks fans give him the warmest applause.
As fans of the nation's largest city, Knicks fans certainly don't behave because of their poor quality.
Just because ......
In their eyes, anyone who dares to threaten Yao Ming's status is an enemy! No effort must be left unturned to bring it down!
On the court, the first quarter of the game, 28-37.
In terms of the pace of the Knicks......
Wang Shuo never expected that the 76ers would allow the Knicks to score 37 points in a single quarter.
In fact, this summer, D'Antoni, who knew he was not good defensively, also tried to hire Malone as his head assistant coach.
When they worked together with the Wizards, D'Antoni admired Malone.
But what ......
Ma Long didn't want to change from Wang Shuo's apprentice to Wang Shuo's apprentice.
Therefore, out of consideration for his seniority, Malone ruthlessly rejected D'Antoni's invitation to him.
In the second quarter, the 76ers were led by Crawford.
The Knicks, on the other hand, are led by Hardaway and Ariza.
After half a season of adaptation, Tiezha's game on the field has improved a lot compared to before.
But just like the one that James called for in January:
LeBron is still a child, and we should give him a little more patience and time.
At this moment, Tiezha, who is only 19 years old, is also just a child.
Since the Cavaliers have no hope of making the playoffs this year, in order to allow the team to complete the rebuild as quickly as possible, the Cavaliers management has officially decided to open after some "friendly" negotiations with James' team.
During the swing, the Cavaliers will do everything they can to get James to put up good stats to prove that the Cavaliers lost, but he didn't.
Undoubtedly.
It was a fairly wise decision.
Because if the Cavaliers don't open up at this time, they will be in a very awkward position by the end of the regular season.
Although in his heart, James, who has always "never given up", is still fantasizing about the stage of the playoffs.
But in the face of the cold reality, young Zhan can only choose to accept it silently.
And because of this, there is the appeal made by the James team to the outside world.
In the second quarter of the game, the Knicks received one good news and one bad news tonight.
The good news is that the immortal Hardaway hit his first two three-pointers tonight.
The bad news is that Crawford on the opposite side has drawn a god card.
"Why is he so lucky?" At this moment, on the bench of the Knicks, Wang Shuo thought to himself with a puzzled expression.
On the court, in the first half of the second quarter, Crawford almost single-handedly supported the 76ers' offense.
In the first six minutes of the second quarter, Crawford scored a total of 14 points on a shooting from outside for the 76ers.
6 mins, 14 mins......
Fortunately, in the second half of the second quarter, Nash still didn't play very comfortably under Duhon's defense, shooting only 1 of 3.
Hamilton and Korver also couldn't find their groove due to sitting on the bench for half a quarter, and teamed up for five times in the second half of the quarter.
Since this 76ers team is ready to go, anyone can win.
When the iron rises, they naturally dare to lose.
Madison Square Garden, 57-69 at halftime.
At halftime, Director Zhang praised Du Hong's defense and said: "This Du Xiaosi is really amazing tonight!" Nash was on 4-of-11 shooting in the half with his defense! ”
Generally speaking.
In the opening game, he shot 4 of 11, which can be regarded as normal play for Kobe Bryant and Iverson.
But for Nash......
It's definitely out of play.
On the Knicks bench, Brown came to his senses again this night.
Because he found that when Wang Shuo selects role players, he often looks at whether their strengths are outstanding enough.
For example, Duhon.
Admittedly, no matter how Dujon plays, he can't compare with those top defenders.
But as long as he can defend, as long as he can provide a certain amount of outside output, then what do you care about his shortcomings?
Role players, if they don't have shortcomings, don't they become superstars?
Dujon lacks organizational experience?
It's okay, isn't this accompanied by the two Jordan successors, Hardaway and Hill Sr.?
Du Hong's assault ability is not good?
With Hill Sr. still racing, do the Knicks need him to assault?
Du Hong is limited in height and may be easily intercepted when giving Yao Ming's pass?
Who said that in the NBA, the only way to feed the ball to a center is to rely on a point guard?
"The so-called arrangement of troops is to match each other according to the characteristics of the players themselves." That night, in his little notebook, Brown wrote.
On the court, after the halftime break, in the third quarter of the game, D'Antoni, who was the main player for a while more than Wang Shuo tonight, was also distressed at this time.
Because of the time difference in the face of the Knicks' physical fitness for Yao Ming in the third quarter......
The 76ers' forward line can't restrict Yao Ming from receiving the ball.
Heywood was mistreated by Yao tonight.
As another meat shield that Yao Ming likes to fight in his career......
Heywood's strengths are frontal frame protection and the ability to carry people in the low post.
But this night, in a low position, he couldn't carry Yao Ming.
The front frame, old Hill is not hard with him.
In addition, I have to frequently help defend and fill in the positions for the 76ers' excellent outside teammates......
Inexplicably, Heywood recalled the scene when Wang Shuo asked him to go one-on-one with Yao Ming.
Say it and you may not believe it.
In Haywood's opinion, he really would rather fight O'Neal than defend against Yao Ming.
Because even if he was scuttled to death by O'Neill head-on, it would be a painful chisel to death.
But in the face of Yao Ming, this is clearly scraping flesh from him with a knife and a knife, which is more painful than being scuttled to death!
Torture!
Ultimate torture!
In addition, in this quarter of the game, Duhon's crazy entanglement with Nash also disrupted the offensive rhythm of the 76ers to a certain extent.
At this time, Iguodala is not the brother who can win the Finals MVP by limiting James' shooting percentage to 39.8% in the future.
So while Iguodala is frantically absorbing his knowledge of playmaking from Nash and is still a long way from becoming a ball-handling powerhouse.
In this quarter, the 76ers couldn't open the situation offensively, and the defense was constantly being scored by the Knicks......
On this night, through the simplest lineup and personnel rotation, Wang Shuo didn't even adjust the details of the Knicks' tactics, and the Knicks managed to establish a winning momentum after the third quarter.
In the final quarter of the game, D'Antoni tried to chase points through three-pointers.
However, Lady Luck is destined to love Wang Shuo, a scumbag, even more.
In the end, after the 76ers went crazy in the final quarter to no avail, the Knicks successfully defended the basketball mecca!
At full time, the score of the two teams was 108-127.
In this game, Yao Ming shot 16 of 25 from the field, including 1 of 1 three-pointer and 8 of 8 free throws, scoring a total of 41 points for the Knicks, plus 16 rebounds.
As Yao's biggest rival for the regular season MVP, Nash shot 6-of-17 from the field, including free throws and three-pointers, for a total of 15 points and 11 assists, but also had five turnovers.
However, what Wang Shuo never expected was that after the game, it was not the New York media who did the best job in blowing Yao Ming......
It's Brandon Haywood!
After the game, Haywood, who scored 4 points and 9 rebounds for the 76ers in this game, said in an interview: "If you don't have to play against Yao in the game......
Then I'd rather play against Shaq 100 times, 1000 times, 10000 times! ”
Although, Heywood, who has always been honest, only spoke his heart on this night.
But what he didn't know was that in a sense, he was equivalent to indirectly helping Yao Ming step on O'Neal's kick.
Poor shark.
Where could he have imagined that others would sit at home and the pot would come from heaven?
In addition, after the game with the 76ers, Wang Shuo also invited D'Antoni to have a supper as usual.
This supper is nothing else, mainly to tie in feelings.
After all......
In Wang Shuo's view, the teams that are willing to trade with him in the future......
Maybe it's only the team coached by his group of disciples.
