Chapter 105 Codename Gale
On October 21, the Knicks will fight the Celtics again. D'Antoni specifically revealed three key points of the team's tactics this season two days before the game.
The New York Times reported: The Knicks' tactical code for this season is "Storm", emphasizing that they should attack quickly, and the shooting should be fast. The specific requirement is that players on both wings should go down quickly and must enter the attack position within 3 seconds; the pass must be completed within 3 seconds; the shooting must be completed in the first half of the 24-second offensive time limit.
Emperor Wu secretly said that Anthony is really not stupid. He deliberately changed so many lineups in the first four games, and then developed such a tactic code-named "Storm Wind". Hughes and Ellington and other old guys naturally couldn't play with it. So it would be natural not to use them if they didn't use them, and they wouldn't have conflicts with the general manager and fans.
Once this "Stormless" tactic was revealed, it immediately received support from Knicks fans. Of course, they like to watch this kind of stormless style of play. This kind of stormless offense is excited as long as they think about it.
Wu Huang thought about it carefully. The requirement of "passing must be completed within 3 seconds" seemed to be a little distrustful of his passing and control skills. This requirement was to allow Wu Huang to pass the ball within 3 seconds after halftime. Isn't that just prevent him from controlling the ball too much?
Think about it carefully, D'Antoni's first requirement is "the players on both wings must enter the attack position within 3 seconds." If his teammates do not complete this requirement, then refer to the last one, that is, if the teammates do not have long and wind after they fall, Wen Wen and Huang, who has the first chance, will find a way to shoot as soon as possible.
"Damn it, it's a bit confused. The coach just wants to think about something. I have to think hard about it here. It's really easy to be a hand-off manager." Wu Huang decided to play a game and then talk about it. Tactics are dead, people are alive, and he will not refer to D'Antoni's three requirements on everything on the court.
The so-called "wind" tactic of Xiao Wang is ultimately focused on the word "fast", but it is only concrete. As long as he masters the core essence, how to execute it naturally depends on the situation on the field.
The second game between the Knicks and the Celtics was to implement the first game of D'Antoni's "Storm" style of play. Originally, the small ball tactics focused on the word "fast". Now the mustache upgraded it and made the style of play concrete. Many fans want to see how the effect is?
D'Antoni sent a complete young lineup today: Wu Huang, Wilson Chandler, Garlinari, Channing Fry, David Lee.
In terms of the Celtics, the Big Three still only played half of each quarter today, which gave the Knicks a chance to win. Especially as soon as today's opening, Wu Huang took the lead in attacking mode, and the Knicks did not make the problem of slow warming up in the previous few games.
As soon as Wu Huang came up, he followed the requirements of the "Storm" tactic. If his teammates did not run out after they landed, he would have to shoot the ball within 3 seconds or shoot himself within 12 seconds.
There was no need to think about it, Wu Huang chose to take action. In the 9th second of the first attack time, he quickly made a three-pointer, and then assisted Garlinari to hit another three-pointer in the 7th second of the attack time. The Knicks' offense was indeed as fierce as the wind, and this style of play was really unreasonable.
The Celtics were slow to heat up today. The Big Three did not get into the form after the opening game. Rondo missed a long shot in a row, and the Knicks opened a double-digit score gap in the first quarter.
"Haha, I've killed Garnett!" Wu Huang finished the first quarter and was extremely excited!
The large screen on the scene was replaying repeatedly. Wu Huang perfectly showed his basketball IQ in a breakthrough in the first quarter. After forcibly dribbled over Rondo, he actually passed the basketball from Garnett, who was assisting in defense, to David who followed up. Li, who did not stop the ball, and threw the basketball to the basket. Wu Huang grabbed Garnett and jumped up and dunked the basketball heavily into the basket with both hands. This made the wolf king behind him make a big ugly and completely become the background emperor.
New York fans in Madison Square Garden were all stimulated by Wu Huang's slam dunk. The tsunami-like cheers continued, and the atmosphere at home exploded!
The Knicks players also took advantage of Wu Huang's offensive morale to quickly control the rhythm of the game at home. The Celtics could no longer suppress the stormy attack of this group of young people in New York, and were almost beaten in the first quarter.
"Fuck them to death!"
"Call them to death!"
“…………”
The young players of the Knicks are a little better. They are not afraid of the world. They fully utilize their brainless and daring to fight. This has indeed caught a group of old guys from the Celtics off guard. They are much worse than those of the Knicks in their athletic ability. The group of kids on the opposite side can jump and run. The Big Three can't help but start to recall their lost youth off the court.
Garnett, Ray Allen, Pierce, these three giants were able to run, jump, and make trouble ten years ago than the Knicks's young men... But now, they are all 30+ veterans, with their sharpness smoothed and their vitality dissipated. All that remains is stability and experience, and of course the most practical technology.
In the second quarter, the point guards of the two teams began to fight. Rondo is the youngest among the Celtics. He is unwilling to be snatched away by Emperor Wu. One of these two is good at breaking through and the other is good at long shots, and it is difficult to distinguish between the top and bottom for a while. However, Emperor Wu received support from his teammates today. The Knicks players are in a strong morale and feel good. Emperor Wu can stand invincible. The Knicks scored in one fell swoop in this quarter.
"Garnett, I'm already happy. Can Rondo fly to the sky?" Emperor Wu has never taken Rondo seriously. Although this guy's defense is good and it makes him feel uncomfortable, Emperor Wu feels that he is the best of the Big Three, just a guy holding his thighs.
In fact, sometimes it is beneficial to look down on others. At least Emperor Wu is not afraid of Rondo at all and dares to make moves in front of the opponent. Because of this, he took the lead and made another three-pointer shortly after the start of the second quarter. Then he caused Rondo to foul outside the three-point line, making three free throws even more unhappy.
The Knicks scored 10 points in a row to start the second quarter, opening the gap with 40:25 in one fell swoop.
The two of them started to fight, and Rondo did not rely entirely on the three giants to achieve his current status. The fourth giant of the Celtics succeeded in using their speed to break through. Emperor Wu was proud of his steps, and Rondo's breakthrough was as fast as lightning.
With 4 minutes and 30 seconds left in the second quarter, Rondo scored another layup, and the Celtics narrowed the gap to 8 points with 42:50.
Qianning Fry then made a three-pointer, and Wu Huang also made a layup. Today, the Knicks players were in full swing. Wu Huang received more support from his teammates. He scored 10 points in this quarter. Rondo scored 12 points, but the Celtics lost to the Knicks 25:26, with a total score of 43:56 to end the first half.
At the beginning of the third quarter, Wu Huang made another three-pointer, and then the game fell into the control of the Knicks. They made a 16:4 attack wave, which opened the gap of 18 points with 2 minutes and 50 seconds left in this quarter.
In the last quarter, Rivers chose to give up the game, and the Big Three did not play again, and the Knicks maintained the advantage until the end of the game. In the end, they defeated the powerful Celtics 114:98.
Well, everyone knows. The Celtics don't care about the preseason win or lose. The Big Three played in total today for only 59 minutes. It's obvious that such a game is just a warm-up match for the Celtics, and the outcome doesn't matter.
Wu Huang didn't care about that much, today he finally ushered in a championship team like the Celtics, and scored excellent data of 25 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, David Lee scored 20 points, 15 rebounds, Garlinari scored 18 points, 5 rebounds, Wilson Chandler scored 16 points, 6 rebounds, Hughes and Ellington did not play today.
Rajon Rondo scored 20 points and 10 assists for the Celtics, Marquis Daniels scored 18 points, and Nate Robinson scored 18 points.
On October 24, the Knicks' opponent turned into the Golden State Warriors.
In this year's preseason, the Knicks nominally had many home games, but only a few were played in Madison Square Garden, mostly in northeastern cities on the East Coast. Today they "traveled" to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, not far from New York, which is not far from Taylor Swift's hometown Reading, and you can naturally see the little singer in the game.
The Knicks' opponent today is another bad team. This team is well-known for its crazy running and shooting. The core of the team is unknown. Stephen Jackson and Monta Ellis are not clear. Internal problems have led to the team's inability to play their combat power. Wu Sheng recently publicly complained that the team's strength was too bad and that his idea of leaving is uncertain.
It is conceivable that such a team will naturally not have much combat effectiveness. The highlight of this game was the showdown between two rookies. Stephen Curry, the No. 8 pick selected by the Warriors, was called "Xiao Wu Emperor", which is a very frustrating and humiliating evaluation for the former.
Curry is two years older than Emperor Wu and is famous two years earlier than Emperor Wu. Now he is so despised by the media. How can he not let his righteous indignation be unbearable?
But no matter how unhappy it is, it is useless. Although Curry's shooting skills are not inferior to Wu Huang, the two have a certain gap in athletic talent. As we all know, those rookies with outstanding athletic ability are often easier to play in the rookie season. Wu Huang has good shooting and athletic ability, so he naturally has a natural advantage. Rondo's first two games did not give him enough support to his inside teammates, and he was a little embarrassed to deal with Wu Huang's one-on-one breakthrough, which is enough to show many problems.
Today, Wu Huang and David Lee became the protagonists. Wu Huang, who performed well in the last game, made another shot from the opening game, taking charge of the Knicks' first 6 points, and then he passed the ball to David Lee, assisting the latter to score a dunk at the basket, Chandler also made a goal from mid-range, and the Knicks started 13:2.
The Warriors only made one shot after 5 minutes of the first quarter. If the Knicks' cooperation is simple, brainless and unreasonable, then the Warriors now have little cooperation at all.
There is very little cooperation between Martial Saint and Ellis, and almost no, Curry is not trusted by his teammates. He didn't touch the ball a few times in the first five minutes. The Warriors' main offensive points either fight alone or cannot get the ball. Such a team can only become a bottom, even if their lineup is not weak.
Halfway through the first quarter, he finally waited until Emperor Wu's firepower weakened, but the Warriors were immediately bombed by David Li's basket. Halfway through the quarter, David Li hit the board again. One minute later, he received the pass from Emperor Wu and made a hit directly in the penalty area with his left hand throw.
Chapter completed!
