Chapter 125 The benefits of a powerful insider
"Fisher and Artest's lateral movements are not good, we attack these two points with all our might." Before the start of the second quarter, D'Antoni provided offensive instructions for the players.
Today is different from the last game against the Celtics. That was back-to-back game, so D'Antoni strategically gave up. But today, he wanted to try to win the game because in his eyes, the Lakers are easier to deal with than the more disciplined Celtics and the Spurs. When this team faces ordinary opponents, it is difficult for them to stay focused throughout the game, and that is their chance to turn defeat into victory.
Wu Huang played in the first quarter, and after only three minutes of rest off the court, D'Antoni was replaced by him, which was three or four minutes earlier than his previous playing time.
D'Antoni has also protected him and has always limited his playing time. Wu Huang's average playing time in the first 11 games was 32 minutes, which is about 5 minutes less than the rookie seasons of James, Durant, Ross and others.
Recently, the beard has begun to increase Wu Huang's game time. In addition to the team becoming increasingly inseparable from Wu Huang, D'Antoni has also discovered Wu Huang's perverted recovery ability.
After the two away games, this guy was the first player in the team to recover. Usually, as long as he rests for one night, Wu Huang will become lively. This recovery ability makes D'Antoni dare to let go of him.
Wu Huang's physical strength is usually at the A-level. He will feel very tired when playing in high-intensity games for more than 40 minutes, and he will be exhausted when playing two extra timers. However, after a game, he will be able to recover after a few hours of rest, and then sleep will be able to do another game immediately.
So, Taylor Swift and Kristen were penetrated by Wu Huang's 10-inch 28 again every morning...
After the first quarter, Wu Huang felt some fatigue, but after three minutes of rest, the energy in his body became no less than Kobe who played at the same time as him.
The score was 30:36, and the Knicks fell 6 points behind.
D'Antoni's previous instructions were to attack Lao Yu and Artest, but neither of them was on the court during this period. How to fight was still to find a way for Wu Huang.
The Lakers' second-tier lineup: Jordan Famal, Shannon Brown, Kobe Bryant, Lamar Odom, Andrew Bynum.
The Knicks' second-tier lineup: Wu Huang, Larry Hughes, Garlinari, Al Harrington, Milicic.
D'Antoni finally replaced Milicic on the roster today. Who said he is also a member of the team's trade? Garlinari and Chandler are both rookies and their salaries are not high. If the Knicks want to make a big deal, they must rely on the high salary of Milicic and Curry to balance it, otherwise the funds of the two parties will be unequal.
The most basic one of the trading rules of the NBA team is: when two teams conduct player transactions, the salary of one party's players shall not be higher than the salary of the other party's players 125% + US$100,000.
Milicic's naked feet are between 2.11 meters and 2.12 meters tall, and his shoes are more than 2.15 meters tall. In fact, he is more suitable to play center. In addition, his training is not as good as before. He has a little fat body and looks tall and wide. He is not smaller than Bynum's figure when standing on the court.
The Serbians were very unhappy in New York. Although the nightlife here is colorful, he still planned to change places because the New Yorkers didn't seem to like him very much, and no one greeted him when walking on the street.
Bynum looked at the opponent with a fat face in front of him. He always felt that the other party seemed to be very unhappy, and at the same time he was wondering if he had offended him before. Why did this foreigner look at him as if he was owed money and refused to pay it back?
Milicic is still playing today with his unique mood of "the whole world owes me money". So he quickly savagely pushed Bynum down while competing for rebounds at the basket!
The referee was blind now and did not call Milicic for this foul.
Serbians don’t care about so many talents. They just grab the rebound at the basket and just make a dunk. They vent their displeasure and feel much better.
After Bynum got up, he immediately rushed to the referee not far away and complained loudly!
This guy's head was a little bad. The blind referee was confused by his movements and was stunned for a moment before showing a technical foul to the little shark amid the booing of the fans of the audience!
The Zen master shook his head off the court. The IQs of the centers of the two teams seemed to be similar. Once you misjudged your mind afterwards, it would be over. Running to roar at the referee would only have the opposite effect.
Milicic was so happy next to him. He thought it was his credit, but he waved his hand hard not far away. As a result, he almost hit Garlinari on the side, so the two white Europeans stared there again. The two of them almost started fighting during training several times, and their relationship was very tense on weekdays.
Emperor Wu shook his head and quickly stood between the two of them, thinking, "You don't dare to attack me, are you? You're so tired of living..."
Soon, the two teams made a substitution at the same time. The Zen master replaced Bynum with a short-circuited brain and replaced Gasol again. D'Antoni also replaced Gallinari and Chandler to play a small forward, so that the two Europeans could not get involved in the field. How can they make a deal in packages?
Milicic felt even more happy when she saw Garlinari being replaced. As for Gasol, who has been playing in the game, Milicic has never taken Espanyol seriously. Before the game, he called Gasol too soft to play and satirized Espanyol as a softie. Of course, if he thinks that "brainless" and "hard playing" can be equated, he is indeed much harder than Gasol.
Wu Huang didn't know how Milicic was in today, but he still tried to pass two goals to this teammate who was not very good at brains, because he knew that Milicic's skills were excellent. If he could keep his focus and be serious, he was indeed a very outstanding inside player. At least he felt that Milicic's inside attack ability was much stronger than Bynum on the opponent.
Milicic was in good shape today and was about to arrive at the low post soon. Wu Huang's pass arrived immediately.
CCTV's master of Reason couldn't help but scream and sighed again: "It would be great if Yao Ming had such a teammate, it would be better if he didn't pull it..."
Milicic received the ball very comfortably, and turned around and made a feint. Regardless of whether Gasol was fooled or not, he immediately jumped in the opposite direction, ignoring Gasol's defensive hook shot.
Gasol's ball was a bit awkward. Milicic's shooting percentage was actually not high. He was not so hard in training, so his shooting was unstable. But if this guy's condition came, he was really like those nerve knives on the outside, and he could score no matter how he shot. Just like this goal just now, he was defending himself on his face, and Milicic still shot the ball.
This is also the reason why many coaches still covet Milicic. This guy's health is really good and his basic basketball skills are also good. If he is willing to train steadily and correct his attitude towards the game, he still has the potential to become an All-Star insider even at the age of 24. The key is that no one knows when he will be able to get it out, or will he be able to get out?
Anyway, the Knicks didn't mean to make it clear. Now they just want to send him away soon. Emperor Wu also had the same idea. Seeing that Milicic was in good shape today, he immediately fed him the ball.
Half a minute later, Milicic, who was in a good mood, came out to pick and roll for Emperor Wu.
With the help of Milicic, Emperor Wu made a taller physical cover than David Li, and after making a fake move, he passed Famal one more step.
Although the Lakers' No. 1 substitute is much better than Fisher's, his defensive awareness is too poor. He and Lao Yu are both overwhelmed by one or two steps against Wu Huang.
Gasol quickly moved horizontally to block Wu Huang's breakthrough, but Wu Huang did not continue dribbling deeper. While moving, he threw the basketball into the sky. The fans saw Milicic jumping into the air, overwhelming Odom to receive the basketball. Then a powerful and heavy dunk was dunked with both hands and poured the basketball into the basket!
Charles Barkley smiled and said, "Milisic's skills and strength are not bad. He can even shoot three-pointers from outside. The biggest advantage is his athletic ability. As long as he spends time making up for loopholes that are prone to fouls, he will definitely become a good center."
Kenny Smith said: "I think the first thing he should make up for is emotional intelligence and IQ, as well as professional training attitude."
No matter how others complain, once Milicic, who is in good shape, plays like an All-Star, his continuous scoring breaks the Lakers' defensive system. Now they not only need to pay attention to Wu Huang's breakthroughs on the outside, but also guard against Milicic in good shape on the inside. Now the Knicks' offense has become three-dimensional.
In the following minutes, the two teams went back and forth, and no one could defend against the opponent's attack.
In the middle of the second quarter, the Lakers had just shrunk their defense against Milicic and David Li's inside combination. Wu Huang immediately scored two 3 points in a row on the outside, and a 12:5 counterattack allowed the Knicks to chase the score to 42:44.
The Zen master called another timeout, but the Lakers failed to make consecutive attacks after the timeout.
Milicic was really happy today. He did a good job in assisting defense outside the penalty area. Today, he was almost disrupted by the offense and defense by himself.
However, with the help of this center with power forward athletic ability, the entire team fought. Harrington made a layup with Wu Huang's second pass, and the Knicks tied the score.
Chapter completed!
