Chapter 111 Apply what you have learned

ps: I received a reward of 100,000 yuan in the afternoon, and the still life was so happy. I just realized that it was the great god who took action. I was so flattered now. And I couldn't figure out how the great god would come to me. Could it be that I had taken the wrong path?

If you want to ask: How important is Harrington to the Knicks?

Wu Huang didn't think it was very important. If they were aiming to win the championship, Harrington would definitely be traded. Although Wu Huang planned to use him as Odom, this guy was not Odom after all. A player who could be three or four was better than an all-rounder, so sometimes it would have miraculous effects, but sometimes it would be restrained. The most important thing is that Harrington's performance in the playoffs was the same as a horse, and his various data were almost half as much as the regular season. To put it bluntly, this is a regular season dragon and a playoff worm player.

But then again, the Knicks are now aiming to enter the playoffs, and they are in need of Harrington's excellent regular season performance, so Wu Huang tried every means to win him over.

"I brought the Knicks into the playoffs in the first season. No one will be able to steal my core position next year." This is what Wu Huang thought. Most of the Knicks' players are regular season players now, and there are really few who can be reliable after entering the playoffs.

Some people have described that there are two types of players in NBA. One is as fierce as a tiger when facing opponents who are not as talented as their own, but they will become adults when facing players with better talent than their own. There is another type of player. No matter what opponent they face, they can play their abilities. Maybe they won't often perform highlights, but they win in a stable performance. This kind of player is the truly reliable type. At least they will not have no effect when facing superstars in the playoffs.

On November 3, the Knicks continued to play at home, facing the West End powerhouse New Orleans Hornets last season.

The Hornets' performance this season is not much better than the Knicks. Both teams have 1 win and 3 losses. However, the so-called "slim camel is bigger than the horse". The Hornets have superstar Chris Paul, All-Star inside David West and the new deal's large-tonnage defensive center Okafor. In terms of team strength, the Hornets are undoubtedly better than the Knicks.

The meeting between Chris Paul and Emperor Wu is naturally a focus matchup. Many media believe that Emperor Wu's outstanding performance in the first three battles is inseparable from the weak opponent's strength. Regardless of whether the person who said such words violated his will, it seems that Paul is only 183m tall, and it seems that he was directly blown up by Emperor Wu in terms of height.

Emperor Wu has never known what fear is. The more famous Chris Paul is, the more he wants to do something on his opponent. He has been waiting for this game for a long time.

Now many people want to watch Wu Huang’s jokes, so this game became the first national live broadcast of the Knicks in the new season. Many Americans are waiting to see Paul beat Wu Huang to death.

Unfortunately, the result of the game disappointed many people. The New Yorkers united at home. Although Paul contributed 32 points and 13 assists, the New Orleans Hornets led by him could not resist a 15:5 attack in the fourth quarter. Hughes, David Lee and Harrington all scored at least 20 points, and they led the Knicks to defeat the Hornets at home.

The Knicks won two consecutive victories, and the Hornets suffered two consecutive losses...

It seems that Emperor Wu was missed here. Today he faced Chris Paul, who is far more famous than himself. He originally thought that as long as he did not show off his strength and made a decision to use his height advantage to force himself on the outside, he relied on the pick-and-roll to fight. With the receiving and shooting after running without the ball, Paul's short legs and short hands should have no choice but to do anything to him.

However, when he really fought, Emperor Wu realized that he was too naive.

It’s not that Paul has never played against a taller opponent than himself, except when facing Deron Williams, his record was a bit ugly. Paul has never lost to anyone in terms of the counter-point data with anyone.

Emperor Wu wants to rely on his height advantage to gain such a superstar. He underestimated the quality of these superstars in the league.

Paul's steals, assisted defense, fill-ups, and small movements have reached the point of perfection, especially the opponent's passing route is accurate, and he takes a very fast move when intercepting the ball. Wu Huang found that he wanted to get a mobile phone by running without the ball. It is basically impossible. It is difficult for the Knicks players to successfully pass the ball to his hands, and Paul always stuck to his passing route.

This move made Wu Huang extremely uncomfortable. He could never get the ball when he used the ball without the ball. In the end, he could only hold the ball himself to attack. At this time, Paul had enough strength and many small movements to show his defensive characteristics, especially those small movements that kept using... from time to time to pinch you, stretch your foot pads, and then push you an elbow... These small movements that can stop at the right time often make the opponent restless. The most annoying thing is that this guy can also talk trash, which unknowingly disrupts Wu Huang's rhythm, thus affecting the smoothness and rationality of the Knicks' offensive operation.

Wu Huang was at a disadvantage throughout the game. He wanted to fight back but never had a chance. He wanted to fight back but never could elbow this cunning bastard. In the end, he took a technical foul.

In this game, Paul's cleverness was that he did not make a fuss about blocking Wu Huang's shooting, but was just focused on disrupting his dribbling and breakthrough rhythm, so that Wu Huang had comfortable shooting and passing opportunities. As a result, Wu Huang only hit 5 goals 18 times in the game, including 1 of 6 three-pointers, making the most iron game of his career, although he only played four games in his entire NBA career.

With 30 minutes of playing time, he scored 13 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, this is the answer given by Emperor Wu in this national live broadcast.

The Knicks can win the game entirely due to David Lee and Harrington's outbreak in the fourth quarter, and his core became a marginal figure and basically won.

Wu Huang was a little depressed after the game. Apart from the No. 3 jersey in his hand that made him unhappy, he was really embarrassed by such a way of winning. However, what was even more annoying was that David Li and Harrington actually came to comfort him after the game, which made Wu Huang even more amused and cry...

"I can comfort myself if I didn't attack today, 'After all, it's understandable', but I didn't even do a good job in defense, which made me score 32 points and 13 assists, which is unreasonable." Emperor Wu rarely can't even take advantage of it like today, and I'm a little overwhelmed after the game.

He was a little paranoid. He didn't play well today, and even media like Yahoo Sports, who likes to blackmail him, did not take the opportunity to attack after the game, because in everyone's eyes, this is the most normal thing.

When James faced Pierce, McGrady and Marion in his first season, he was also ravaged by these long-famous stars. Everyone grew up like this. If Jordan hadn't played for four years in college, he would have been taught a lesson by the old guys for a year.

Paul averaged 22.8 points, 11 assists and 2.8 steals per game last season. Judging from the data alone, he is indeed the first point guard in the league. He can also make moves in the team's record. In addition to always losing against Delong, Paul really has no black spots. Wu Huang can score double-digit points today, which is a relatively qualified performance.

But Emperor Wu didn't think so. Before the game, he fantasized about Paul, but he was pinched several times and elbowed several times. He failed to revenge and took a technical foul and was fined by the league tomorrow. He was so depressed.

As soon as he got home, Emperor Wu quickly watched the game video. He wanted to see where he was not doing well. How could he not be able to perform in the game with such a clear height advantage?

Wu Huang analyzed the game video from the perspective of God, and it was easy to find that Paul did a good job in the links that could not be reflected in assisting defense, delaying obstacles, interference, and filling positions. Ordinary stars would not work so hard on the defensive end, so from this perspective, Paul's enthusiasm is indeed commendable.

In terms of single defense, although Paul is not tall enough, his victory lies in his stable center of gravity, sufficient strength, and no loss of position. He has many small moves but can stop at the right time. With trash talk and lightning-like quick-handed interception balls, so many defensive skills combined together, he is fully qualified to enter the best defensive lineup.

Emperor Wu then realized that he had lost no blame. He could see that Paul did not hold back in the game. This bastard had already called him all his eighteen martial arts. "This shows that I am still very threatening, otherwise Paul would not be so serious." After Emperor Wu calmed down, he activated the spiritual victory method and began to praise himself.

"Paul's defense is to successfully use all the areas he is good at, while maximizing the avoidance of his own weaknesses. If my skills can be improved a little more so that he can't avoid his own weaknesses, then I can at least complete the task of mutual explosion. The other point guards in the league can basically do this, and I can't do it for the time being, which means I have many things that need to be worked on."

Wu Huang was not only praising himself, but also finding out his shortcomings. So after playing against the Hornets, he kept watching the video of this game. Wu Huang found that this just a winning regular season game could teach him too much. Every move of Paul is worthy of his careful consideration and worthy of his humbly learning.

On November 5, the Knicks continued to play against the Pacers at home.

This time, Wu Huang's opponent became TJ Ford, who was faster than Paul in the past few seasons, but since he was seriously injured last season, this defender, who was once known as the league's "speed number one" has degenerated into an ordinary player with "very fast speed".

Wu Huang spent two days studying Paul. Today he met TJ Ford, who was relatively single in technology and was also short in size, and he thought to himself, "Isn't this my best experimental subject?"

Paul's defense contains too many things, and Emperor Wu cannot absorb and learn them all at once. He can only pick up a few things he is good at to strengthen, such as the small movements and trash words he could use, interfere with the opponent's passing and receiving balls, and how to choose a defensive position, etc. The defensive tricks he has been using, now they can be strengthened when learning about Paul.

TJ Ford was considered a bad luck. His weakness of not having a three-pointer was infinitely amplified by Wu Huang today. It was even more difficult to get rid of Wu Huang, who was still keeping a distance from him at the beginning. What was even more annoying was Wu Huang's obscene foot pad movements when he was physically in contact, which made TJ Ford, who was already worried about being injured again, dared to speed up easily. As a result, this unlucky guy only got a pitiful 4 points in the whole game and was completely frozen by Wu Huang, a rookie.

Today, Wu Huang not only worked hard on the defensive end, but also showed his ability to abuse food on the offensive end. Now TJ Ford is a dish in his eyes. Wu Huang finally achieved the goal set in the last game, constantly using his height advantages to change his opponents. Today, he completely regarded TJ Ford as Chris Paul of the previous game, and after the difficulty suddenly changed, Wu Huang didn't even believe that he was in good condition. In the first half, he made 8 of 11 shots and scored an amazing score.

At the end of the first half, the score was 56:50. Wu Huang performed so well, but the team was only 6 points ahead.

Today, the Pacers' second and third positions are Deng Tai Jones and Danny Granger. Both of them have good defenses, so the Knicks' forward line is silent again. Hughes, Chandler and Garlinari didn't score any points in the first half, but David Lee and Harrington, the inside, taught a lesson to Hibert, who is second in the league. Who knows how their height can be done?

The Knicks have a lot of offensive points now. In the last game, Wu Huang performed poorly, and other teammates stood up and could still beat the Hornets. Today, the forward line was restricted, and the Knicks' point guard and inside line were putting their strength together, so they could still lead their opponents.

The two teams played a tug-of-war in the third quarter, with the scores of both sides increasing alternately, and the Knicks continued to lead.

The Pacers turned into a defensive counterattack in the second half. Granger, who was at the peak, made long shots in the third quarter using rapid offensive and defensive conversions, and the Knicks' defensive problems were exposed again.

Emperor Wu was not panicked at all. He has now gradually adapted to a game where he would lose a lot of points in a short period of time. Granger scored continuously, so he helped the team get the points back. It just so happened that David Lee and Harrington seemed to have a lot of experience in dealing with the Starter's inside line. Emperor Wu did not plan to continue scoring points by himself. He chose to send the basketball to the basket and let his right-hand man attack.

This choice is very wise. The Pacers specifically strengthened their defense against him in the second half, and often assisted in defense and double-teaming. If Wu Huang played like in the first half, his offensive efficiency would inevitably decline. If the Pacers seized the opportunity to fight a few successful counterattacks, the outcome of this game would be really lingered.

The Pacers' inside line this season is ridiculously poor. Hibert is tall, but his skills are rough and inexperienced. Murphy was not good at defense and is still injured. At this time, no one in the Indians' inside line is available, which allows David Lee and Harrington to turn the world at the basket.

D'Antoni was not meant to be ruthless. Seeing Hughes, Chandler and Garlinari's defenses were urgent, the game formed a tug-of-war with the Knicks attacking the Pacers' inside, and the Pacers attacking the Knicks' forward line. At the end of the third quarter, he simply replaced Danny Green, who rarely played, to strengthen the defense on the forward line.

The effect of this substitution was very obvious. Danny Green's defensive enthusiasm and defensive ability were one level stronger than the above three guys who only knew how to attack. However, it was precisely because his offensive ability was not as good as these three guys that D'Antoni never gave him a chance to play.

But this game is different. As long as the Knicks' forward line can slightly limit Granger and Deng Tai Jones' offense, he can continue to expand the team's lead, and there is no suspense in the game.

At the end of the third quarter, after sending most of the shells to the inside, Wu Huang suddenly fired a gun from the outside. The Pacers were caught off guard and the Knicks hit a 10:0 counterattack wave to end the quarter. After the first three quarters, the Knicks led by 19 points with 83:64.

In the fourth quarter, the Knicks still firmly grasped the advantages of the inside and point guards. The Pacers' backward score was widened and they were ineffective in the end. They lost 90:110.
