Chapter 109 Left Arm and Right Arm

During the intermission, D'Antoni repeatedly emphasized defense in the locker room. It was obvious that Xiao Wang was anxious and he could never lose in this game.

The team's problem now is clearly on defense. The 76ers' outside offense has always been poor. Apart from Capono, there are no reliable three-pointers. Iguodala, Sadies Young and Louis Williams are all blacksmiths whose three-point shooting percentage hovers around 30%. But today, except for Williams, the other two blacksmiths have also blossomed. I'm afraid there are not many of them in this defensive league.

However, the defensive problem is not a problem that will be solved in a short time. The Knicks are basically a newly formed team now. D'Antoni chose to attack the team's offense first, and the defense will be put backwards, otherwise there will be no offense and defense, which will be even worse at that time!

So at the beginning of the season, it is difficult for the Knicks' defense to be improved quickly, which takes time to improve, unless they can trade one or two defensive players like Iguodala, which can directly improve the team's defense, but this hope is slim.

D'Antoni was not completely unaware of defense. The small-scale pressing during the Suns, the strangling of multiple insiders and oppressive man-tapping defense were both eye-catching. However, at that time, Nash's urgent single defense ability, and Sir's anxious defensive attitude covered up many positive things for the Suns. Moreover, D'Antoni's defensive arrangement on the spot was indeed relatively poor, which formed the impression that the Suns' defense was very bad. The factor of following the crowd also accounted for a large proportion. Many fans just heard others say that the Suns' defense was not good, so they followed suit.

But no matter what, the Knicks are probably delusional to solve their defensive problems today.

After the start of the third quarter, the two teams attacked and defended each other, and the scores on the field increased alternately.

Wu Huang started the scoring mode in this quarter because he found that Chandler and Garlinari were difficult to get a mobile phone under the defense of Iguodala and Saidis Yang, especially the erratic defense of the No. 2 and 3 of the Knicks seemed to be tied up with a tight spell, making it difficult to make a difference. At this time, he had to stand up and score.

The Knicks barely defended their advantage by relying on Wu Huang and Harrington's life-long score in the third quarter, and led by 7 points at the end of the third quarter with a 95:87 lead.

Before the fourth quarter started, Wu Huang felt his breathing speed that was beginning to intensify. He knew that today's game might be in lingering. If even he was tired, many players in the team would probably be even more tired than him.

Wu Huang's physical strength is not stronger than other teammates now, but in terms of recovery speed, he is definitely the strongest in the team. The Knicks' players generally have not recovered from yesterday's back-to-back double overtime. If they encounter physical problems in the fourth quarter, I'm afraid the Knicks will lose even their only "offensive".

"The good ones are not good, the bad ones are not good." At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Knicks made a two-pointer and a pass mistake. The score turned into 95:92 in a blink of an eye, and the difference between the two teams was only a mere three-pointer.

Wu Huang only took two minutes to rest before being replaced by D'Antoni. Now the team is in the best physical condition, which is the different role of "endurance" and "recovery speed". Wu Huang's endurance is not low, and his recovery speed is extremely fast. In fact, he is the best physical condition in the team. In terms of long-term combat, he can instantly kill many stars who are famous for their endurance.

But no matter how powerful a person is, it is difficult to lead the team to victory. Kobe in the 81-point period is the best example. Emperor Wu is much worse than Kobe at that time, and it is too early to stage the scene of riding alone to save the master.

Originally, Wu Huang also had David and Li assist, but the inside combination of the 76ers was Dalem Porter + Brand. The combination of these two people may not be considered David and Li on the offensive end. The latter has only scored a pitiful 6 points until now.

The fourth quarter ended at 7 minutes and 20 seconds. Spetts scored 5 points in a row, and then Williams finally broke through Wu Huang once and made a layup. The 76ers tied the score with 100:100.

At the critical moment, Emperor Wu never expected that Harrington would come forward to help him again?

The Knicks four-member old man in the gang who was at the peak used his breakthrough to score 5 points, and then he used the ball to hit the basket and assisted the outside line to make a three-pointer. Harrington actually led the team to a 12:2 counterattack**.

"Beautiful job!" Emperor Wu's impression of Harrington changed, and he took the initiative to step forward and slapped his hand to high-five.

Harrington didn't give him a good look, but he still reached out to touch him.

Seeing this, many thoughts suddenly arose in his mind. He found that he had done a lot of things before and was not mature enough. The Knicks' Gang of Four was not a solid piece of the same, especially players like Harrington, who sat in the corner all day long and liked to show off their airs. He thought that his relationship with the other three was not good. Considering that he had frequent disagreements with his teammates in the Warriors and the Nuggets before, it was enough to show that he was not good at dealing with interpersonal relationships.

Harrington is a typical high school rookie. Such players enter the NBA too early and are often immature in their minds. After entering the NBA, they will form a self-protection deformed mentality under the bullying of old players, and their personality will also change accordingly. They will become more and more indifferent, unwilling to contact and communicate with their teammates, and they will not be able to learn how to deal with interpersonal relationships. Especially after improving their skills, these players will become cancers for the team.

The league later banned high school students from participating in the draft to prevent more such high school students. There were too few high school players like James and Howard who became the core of the team when they entered the NBA. Most high school students had to last for a few years before they could make a comeback, but the effort in these few years is enough to change a person's personality.

What Wu Huang thought about now was that Harrington was almost 30 years old, and such an age should have matured. Perhaps he no longer wanted to wander around, but the character and habit he had developed for a long time made him not take the initiative to bow to Emperor Wu. If Emperor Wu could put down his posture and actively contact Harrington at this time, it might be possible that this powerful player would become one of his right-hand men.

"That's right, David Lee is my left sling. If Harrington can become my right arm, the team's chemistry will quickly improve. Next, I should take the initiative to contact this veteran." Wu Huang had an idea. At the end of the fourth quarter, he suddenly handed over the ball and handed over the basketball to Harrington in good condition to handle it. He ran off the ball himself and actively cooperated with the opponent.

Al Harrington is a very versatile player. He can play in the third and fourth positions, is proficient in various offensive methods in two positions, and has outstanding athletic ability. He was considered a talented player before he was 25 years old. But he has never been able to play with real star-level data.

This has something to do with his personality, but as Wu Huang thought, 29-year-old Harrington has reached a fork in his life. His long wandering career has given him the intention of actively seeking change, but he himself doesn't know how to change it? He has not met a coach who is good at stewing chicken soup in the heart, nor has he met a teammate who is a real leader.

At this time, Emperor Wu took the initiative to put down his figure and cooperated with him. Harrington was in good condition today, and he took turns to break through the frame and attacked the back. The 76ers were tired of parrying for a while.

If it were a few years ago, Harrington would not have too many other ideas except for the ball he took. But now, part of his attention is always on Wu Huang. When the 76ers doubled Harrington twice in a row, Wu Huang used his ghostly running to create an open shooting opportunity. Harrington's pass also passed in time. Wu Huang's accurate three-pointer fell into the 76ers' basket in a row. The Knicks scored another 6:0, and the score difference was instantly widened to 15 points.

New York fans thought to themselves, "It's too exciting." Many people quickly took out two quick-acting heart-saving pills to swallow it to prevent the Knicks from being beaten 10:0 in the blink of an eye...

The 76ers have not scored for a long time, and Eddie Jordan quickly requested a timeout.

Emperor Wu and Harrington came to the scene and hit the chest. This was the first time they played such a refreshing cooperation.

“Beautiful cast!”

"It's beautiful!"

The two of them said in unison, and then they both laughed.

"Laughing at you, sister!" Emperor Wu smiled happily, but his heart became dark again. He thought to himself: "I will use you as Odom in the future. Let's be your third leader. I will always give you some ball rights, but don't expect to play like this in every game."

Emperor Wu is now thinking about how to allocate the ball rights.

Originally, he wanted to dominate most of the ball and then give it to David Li a small part, and the others just ran out of the open space and waited for him to pass the ball.

But after the regular season began, Wu Huang found that this was not the case. The team had to have another offensive point that could hold the ball to help him share it.

"5-2-2-1. This may be a good ball rights allocation plan." Wu Huang decided to control 50% of the ball rights himself and then distributed it to David Li and Harrington 20% each, and the remaining players account for the last 10%. Of course, the specific way to do it depends on the opponents in each game.

D'Antoni must know that Wu Huang's thoughts are so angry that he has never heard of this kind of ball rights. In addition, Wu Huang really dares to think about the 50% ball rights. LeBron, the largest ball dominant in NBA, is less than 50% possession rate. He is going to become the number one ball dominant in NBA.

With the last six minutes left in the game, the Knicks led by 15 points. If this advantage was replaced by other teams, they would basically win.

However, New York fans dare not be sure of anything. They were recovered 20 points in 6 minutes, but they were not unsuccessful. They were recovered 15 points in 6 minutes, which was simply a slight slightest.

However, the 76ers were really in trouble at this time. They were not a strong team. The explosive power in scoring was limited. If you want to chase points, you must block the Knicks' offense, otherwise they would not be able to catch up with such a big score difference.

But Harrington's double-energy peak, Sadies Yang went to defend, but he was not tall enough, and Brandon went to defend, but he couldn't keep up.

After the game restarted, Harrington's offense disrupted the Sixers' defense and gave other Knicks players a lot of opportunities to run.

After entering the NBA, Wu Huang had not shown his running skills, but in fact, this ability was his first awakening technique.

When the 76ers team started running today, the players were not prepared at all. They saw a thin yellow figure constantly shuttled and ran on the court. The continuous emergency stop and counter-run were like thunder. Allen possessed. Wu Huang's strange running route allowed him to easily get a calm way out of his mobile phone.

In the fourth quarter, 3 minutes and 45 seconds, Wu Huang received a pass from David Li in the inside and made another three-pointer. This was his eighth three-pointer in the whole game and his fourth three-pointer in the fourth quarter.

The score was 124:106, and the Knicks' rate of gaining points was as amazing as their rate of losing points. Before they knew it, they had already led the 76ers by a full 18 points.

New York fans and D'Antoni are finally relieved. They shouldn't be caught up again this time, right?

All the fans of the audience raised their arms together with Wu Huang, who raised their three fingers, celebrating their first victory in the new season with extremely excited mood!

The 76ers also knew that they had no chance and made several three-pointers like a dying struggle. As a result, they performed normally and did not score. The game was completely over.
