The Nuggets' last game was on the 25th, and today they were at home again. Their physical fitness was obviously much better than the Knicks, so D'Antoni thought before the game that his opponent would use high-intensity oppressive defense after the start of the game to consume the Knicks' physical strength.

The result was obviously not like this. The Nuggets players didn't know if they were taking stimulants. At the beginning of the game, they played even more in New York than the Knicks, and their speed was directly reached the fifth level. Even Emperor Wu felt that he was wearing the wrong jersey?

Anthony scored two goals with Gallinari's head at the beginning, both of which were emergency stops and jump shots after breaking through, and took action in the first half of the offensive time, which made the Knicks not even have time to arrange for assisting defense.

Billups then broke through Wu Huang with his strong body, and made David Li Bu's defense foul at the basket, and made both free throws.

The Nuggets scored a 6-0 climax at the opening, and the 20,000 Denver fans in the "Pepsi Center" arena immediately praised the team's strong performance with tsunami-like cheers.

Emperor Wu felt very unhappy. The Nuggets actually chose to fight them, which was a bit arrogant.

The Knicks did not hit the basketball in the first three attacks. In the next fourth attack, Wu Huang made a gesture to his teammates, transported the basketball to the frontcourt and handed it to Gallinari, moved to the wing himself, and accelerated to cut into the basket.

The Nuggets immediately focused on Emperor Wu, noticing that Milicic and David Li moved near the free throw line to make a double cover. Emperor Wu suddenly stopped in half and ran backwards, passing through the two inside teammates. Billups behind him was blocked by the two closed the door and went back.

Emperor Wu came to the top of the arc and no one defended him. He received the pass and easily hit a three-pointer.

The Denver fans in the "Pepsi Center" arena finally quieted down. The Knicks' cover tactics were designed by Emperor Wu during the NCAA period. They were later called "elevator tactics" by the media. Now they have been moved to the Knicks by D'Antoni, and the effect is also very good.

The Knicks have recently strengthened various exercises without the ball screen. Wu Huang's open shots are becoming more and more stable, and Garlinari, a qualified second attack point on the outside. D'Antoni hopes that the team can prepare three or five sets of effective off-ball screen tactics when the playoffs. These tactical cooperation allows players to use off-ball screens to get out of their mobile phones at critical moments, avoiding the team not finding a reliable scoring method during certain periods of the game.

In every game, the Knicks have some time periods of time that they can't find the scoring feeling, and they are hit by their opponents to have a scoring climax, which is a big problem they have always faced.

D'Antoni is going to solve this problem now, and the team must have effective scoring methods at any time. Using unball covers to create scoring opportunities is the best solution for their current lineup. Once the opponent reaches a scoring climax or wants to break the deadlock, they can use various unball covers to allow Wu Huang and Garina to use precise shooting techniques to solve the problem.

In fact, after Wu Huang came to the Knicks, many of the attacking routines commonly used by the Knicks were created after his teammates covered Wu Huang. After the inside player's cover, Wu Huang would run to a medium and long distance to catch the ball. If the opponent could not keep up in time, he would immediately catch the ball and shoot. If the opponent's defense was converted, Wu Huang's handling method would have different changes...

At 8 minutes and 02 in the first quarter, Wu Huang broke through with Milicic's cover. Birdman Anderson stepped forward to try to block it. David Li immediately inserted into the inside. Just when Wu Huang's mid-range shot could not be made, he directly sent the ball to the bottom of the basket. David Li easily dunked and scored.

The Knicks' offense is a pre-practice tactic. But the tactics are dead, and people are alive. In most of the NBA games, you cannot perfectly execute the tactics you practiced in training. Because your opponent is also a top player with many battles, they will analyze your movement route and may even see through your tactical intentions.

At this time, the offensive side cannot continue to implement tactics in a constant manner. They must adapt to the situation and find a better way to score, otherwise they will fall into an embarrassing situation such as double-teaming of the opponent or being forced into a blind spot.

But the problem is that the four words "adaptability" are simple to say, but not something that everyone can do. Many players can't even understand and implement normal tactical routines, let alone temporary changes. This is also the reason why many players clearly have top athletic abilities but can't even play as a substitute. My mind is too stupid!

In the two attacks in the first quarter, Wu Huang perfectly reflected what a top basketball IQ is!

The first time, Wu Huang brought the ball to the top of the arc and handed it over. He ran without the ball to the wing. Harrington immediately pulled it out to cover him without the ball, and Wu Huang successfully received the basketball. Wu Huang, who received the ball, had two options. One was to break through and make a layup directly, and the other was to move towards the bottom corner to get a chance to take a free shot in the bottom corner. Kobe always liked to do this.

However, during this offense, Wu Huang was able to judge Billups' conventional thinking during defense well. Therefore, he did not directly insert it into the ground and make a layup or move to the bottom corner as the most conventional tactical deployment. Instead, he chose a defensive party's unexpected counter-run and handed the ball directly to the player responsible for the cover. After bypassing it with empty hands, he retreated to the top of the three-point line to receive the ball and shoot.

It is precisely because of such an unconventional move that disrupts the defense of the digging team and gives Wu Huang an easy opportunity to shoot three-pointers in an open space.

From a overlooked perspective, Emperor Wu seemed to easily create scoring opportunities with back-running + cover, but in fact it was not that simple, which is what is called details and spirituality.

Wu Huang likes to make some subtle changes in ordinary tactical deployments to achieve the purpose of confusing his opponents. He did not know how many fake moves he made during the movements to mislead the defensive judgment of Billups and the Nuggets. He also analyzed in his head how the opponent would react to his actions, etc.... Even the most professional scouts find it difficult to see so many things from such a quick round, but the master's fight is often a matter of a moment of detail to determine the result.

The second time was at the end of the first quarter. There were 55 seconds left in this quarter, and this tactic started with Channing Fry making a screen for Harrington. Harrington used this screen to quickly go around to the wing and prepare to catch the ball and play singles. Channing Fry, who had finished the screen, swam to the top of the arc and pretended to prepare for the ball.

Fry's shooting ability forced the defender to hurry forward and try to block the pass line.

No one noticed at this time. Wu Huang, who was supposed to go to the bottom line and shoot a three-pointer from the bottom corner, suddenly stopped and changed the line. He slipped behind Nenite to make a cover. Seeing this, Fry immediately cut into the basket.

At this time, Emperor Wu pushed hard and turned around and crashed into his inner side, and then performed a realistic fake fall.

Fry had already cut into the basket and received a lob from his teammates and easily scored in the air.

When the referee saw the basketball score, he did not call Nene for a foul, but if Fry did not score, the referee's whistle would sound. It can be said that the Knicks' attack was destined to not get nothing.

This offense is also a reflection of Wu Huang's basketball IQ. He knows what it means to simplify the traditional Chinese. Sometimes those complex offensive tactics are actually not as good as such a temporary cooperation. Because of this cooperation, the defense party cannot use experience and conventional consciousness to judge, and it is the fast reaction speed and IQ of everyone!

In the first quarter, the Knicks scored several times after Wu Huang adapted to the situation. If he did not make these changes that caught his opponent off guard, it would be difficult for him to successfully score the tactical intention after being seen through.

After the first quarter, the score was 33:35. The digging team at home still took advantage. If we talk about these small details, Bilups on the opposite side was not worse than Wu Huang, but was stronger than him. However, Bilups's skills were only reached by more than ten years of competition experience. Wu Huang is a fresh rookie. He relied on his talent to be slightly inferior to the old monster's performance, which is incredible in itself.

Generally speaking, if a rookie can defeat a veteran, he will definitely take advantage of his absolute advantage in athletic ability to fight head-on. There are almost no examples like Wu Huang who can often take advantage of some small details and small techniques.

But in terms of personal data, Wu Huang didn't score much in the first quarter, and only scored 6 points in the whole quarter, but he contributed 5 assists, and at the same time, he had more assists invisibly than the whole team combined.

Harrington scored the highest in the first quarter. Today he felt very good, scoring the team's highest 9 points from 3 of 4 shots in the first quarter.

In terms of the digging team, "Melon" Anthony made 4 goals in the first quarter, and he scored more free throws, scoring 13 points and 3 rebounds in a single quarter, while Billups scored 6 points and 2 assists.

During the second quarter rotation period, the Knicks replaced David Lee, who was trapped in the first quarter, and he led the team's substitute lineup.

The Nuggets' substitute is not good at plagiarism. Last season, the Nuggets made great achievements in the team's entry into the Western Conference Finals. The most eye-catching one is JR Smith. This Nuggets performed extremely efficiently last season and is no longer like the Nuggets. He was originally considered one of the sixth players in the league.

This season, JR Smith's performance continued the efficiency of last season. Once the wind was blowing, it could even be used as most Kobe.

After the start of the second quarter, JR Smith and Ty Lawson made jump shots respectively, and the Nuggets turned the score into 33:39.

But the situation suddenly changed. David Li made two strong attacks, Wilson Chandler made two consecutive mid-range shots, Du Hong also threw a three-pointer after intercepting the ball, and a 11-0 attack wave in a round allowed the Knicks to overtake the score.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Nuggets head coach George Carl immediately replaced the Melon, who had just rested for two minutes.

After only two minutes in the second quarter, the Knicks' offensive was thrilling. In just a blink of an eye, the score on the field had been rewritten by the Knicks to 44:39, and they were 5 points behind in a blink of an eye.

The large screen on the scene gave a specific number. In the previous 98 seconds, the Knicks actually made 5 attacks and scored 11 points. This scoring speed made many Nuggets fans who had just left their seats to buy some snacks or had a WC preview.

The Knicks were about to take advantage of the situation to launch a bigger attack wave. Anthony's first touch after he came on the court made the fans on the scene cheer with a shaking cheer!

"Beep!" After a sharp whistle, David Li, who was standing at the basket, looked in disbelief. The gesture made by the referee not far away was clear. This time, he defended David Li's foul. This time, he had a third foul today.

Anthony made a round of arms. Today he felt very good on the court, with extremely high shooting efficiency and smooth play. Even if the ball doesn't go in, it can cause a foul.

"Hugo. You go up too." D'Antoni took advantage of Anthony's free throw and quickly replaced Wu Huang again, and at the same time used Harrington to replace David Lee, who was fouled on his back.

The Knicks' lineup has become: Wu Huang, Danny Green, Wilson Chandler, Al Harrington, Channing Fry.

Nuggets lineup: Ty Lawson, JR Smith, Cameron Anthony, Chris Anderson, Nene Hillaryo.

Anthony made both free throws, Wu Huang quickly advanced to the frontcourt after receiving the ball, Fry landed at the top of the arc and stopped to cooperate with Wu Huang.

After the two broke up, Wu Huang took the ball and rushed to the basket, while Fry pulled away to the wing.

Nene chose to intercept Wu Huang's breakthrough as soon as possible, and Tai Lawson did not go to make up for the defense. Wu Huang threw the basketball to the wing in the double-team of the two. After Fry received the ball, he hit the defensive move against Anthony, and Wu Huang's seventh assist was easily obtained.

George Carl sighed on the sidelines. If Anthony's defense can take a step faster, the difficulty of Fry's attempt to make the shot will increase exponentially. But if you think about it carefully, Anthony will have to attack with all his strength and defend with all his life. This big butt with more than 240 pounds is really unbearable.

Wu Huang's performance was not over. Just one minute later, he used his usual trick again. However, this time the assist was not Harrington who performed a pick-and-roll with him, but Chandler who cut into the basket from the bottom line and passed through the Nuggets' defense. Wu Huang got his eighth assist.

"Damn, do you want that rookie to get 10 assists in half a game? Or 15..." George Carl roared loudly on the sidelines. If the Knicks' defense is tofu, then their defense today is paper-based. Both sides can be said to be half a pound to eight taels.

Wu Huang felt very good today. However, his good condition was not on the offensive end, but on the passing.

The big screen on the scene was playing back the ball that he assisted Chandler just now. Through slow motion, it was discovered that Wu Huang swung the ball completely based on his feelings when passing the ball. He was not using the correct passing posture at all. If it were others, he probably didn't know where the ball had flew. But the basketball passed by Wu Huang was like a guide system installed, landing in front of Chandler who was sneaking into the basket. Regardless of the angle, timing and strength, the latter just needed to reach out to catch the basketball, and then raise his hand to put the ball into the basket at close range.

"This feeling is very wonderful. There is no need to calculate the distance and timing at all, nor do you have to worry about controlling your strength. Everything is like a pre-set program. You just need to throw the ball out of the ball and get the task." This is what Emperor Wu felt today. It was the first time he had such a wonderful feeling of passing the game.

These may be the result of long-term hard training. Of course, he knew that the state of this game could not become the norm for the rest of the day, but at least today, he discovered his goal to continue working hard in the future and found where his potential lies.

Since I can be in this state today, it means that I have such potential in my body. As long as I continue to work hard, my current potential may become the norm in the future, and then I will truly become a passer master.

In the second quarter, Anthony scored crazy scores and Wu Huang's crazy assists. Until Billups scored 5 points in a row after he came on the court, Billups, nicknamed "Mr. Key", played such a role again. He led the team to return a 11:3 counterattack climax, and chased the score to 55:55 in 4 minutes and 15 seconds in the second quarter.

At this time, Wu Huang had contributed 8 points, 4 rebounds, 10 assists and 1 steal. This was his first double-digit match with assists and scores.

The Knicks players are in good shape today. Wu Huang's high assists mean that his teammates turned his passes into assists. Originally, the physical condition of New York players was not as good as that of the Nuggets, but the latter insisted on fighting with them. Once the Knicks players enter this selfless crazy offensive mode, it will be difficult to feel the disappearance of physical strength.

This is very common. When you devote yourself to one thing, it will be difficult for you to feel other irrelevant things, such as physical strength and pain.

However, Emperor Wu knew even more that this state of commitment could not be cut off, because once he retreated from this serious state, his physical fatigue would surge like a tide, and it would be completely over at that time.

Therefore, you must bring up the rhythm and let your teammates continue to maintain the rhythm of bombardment.

D'Antoni also knew that it should not be called a timeout now, as this would also affect the player's condition. He chose to let Emperor Wu solve the problem. At this time, it was his turn as the core to perform on the court. The player who can stand up at a critical moment is called the core.

Emperor Wu quickly broke through Billups through his personal ability, rushed to the basket to face the block of Anderson from Birdman, and forced himself to score two points with a left-handed throw.

Although Billups' speed and explosive power are still there, his lateral movement ability has declined. Facing an opponent like Wu Huang with extremely high agility and speed, he will inevitably feel overwhelmed.
