Bilups soon felt a sense of embarrassment. In less than a minute, he was passed by Emperor Wu twice in a row using his amazing first step. This was his best skill in the past.

For the first time, after Emperor Wu broke through Billups, he became the birdman Anderson, who helped defend himself.

The second time, Wu Huang faced the Nuggets' inside line who was already prepared and chose to make a quick stop at the free throw line. In the end, he not only scored another goal, but also caused Anderson, who was too fierce in defense, to make a foul, and it was a two-plus-one.

Nuggets fans in the "Pepsi Center" arena have an illusion today, that is, their inside defense seems not as strong as last season? The first to be hit is Kenyon. Martin and Birdman Anderson's footsteps are not as fast as last season, and their pressure on enemy outside players is not as strong as last season, and their defense range is also narrowing.

As for the reason? Some media have long given the answer: Kenyon Martin's knee was injured again, and the situation is similar to those of Iverson's years in the formation. Anderson, the birdman, was not so compatible with his activity and age. It was impossible that he was still a "energy boy" every year when he was in his thirties. There must be a limit to playing his career masterpiece.

Knicks players discovered today that in the Nuggets' inside, except for Nene's defense, Kenyon Martin and Anderson, who were bragged about, seem to be not as awesome as the legendary. The breakthroughs between Chandler and Harrington are very efficient today, which has a lot to do with the fact that the Nuggets' inside defense is not strong enough.

However, although Emperor Wu scored 5 points with two consecutive breakthroughs, Anthony on the opposite side was also unreasonable. He pulled out three-pointers and a back-on single on the wing. He easily offset all Wu's efforts.

"Why does this big butt feel more difficult than James?" Wu Huang looked at the "melon" who scored today like chopping melons and vegetables. He actually felt that this person was even stronger than James.

However, less than a minute later, Harrington took the ball and attacked Anthony head-on, Emperor Wu quickly realized the difference between "melon" and "Gorilla".

Although Melon's offensive ability is stronger than Gorilla, it is not as strong as the Gorilla. The difference between the two on the offensive end is actually not big. Melon is just slightly better. However, Gorilla's defense and support ability are at least one level stronger than Melon, not to mention their injury resistance. This is why the gorilla was able to succeed Kobe and become the number one player in the active league.

But no matter what, the Knicks still played their favorite game rhythm at the end of the second quarter. Wu Huang's assist today was like no money, but Anthony and Billups of the digging team also kept attacking. With the last attack in the first half, Billups once again pushed Wu Huang with his strong body and made a layup. The Nuggets tied with the Knicks at 65:65 at the end of the half.

Emperor Wu contributed 15 points, 5 rebounds, 13 assists and 1 steal in the first half, and he seemed to break a new record without knowing it. He has become the youngest halftime record of 10+ assists.

Many commentators who live broadcast the game said that this record is just an appetizer. If today's game continues like this, Wu Huang may have the hope of breaking the youngest 20+ assists record.

Looking through history, NBA has never had a single game of 20+ assists under the age of 22. Those retired and active point guards in the league, all players who get 20+ assists are over 21 years old.

How old is Wu Huang? His birthday is December 12, 1989. Tonight, he is under 20 years old. Today, the league may have a single game 20+ assist winner under 20 years old. He will advance this record by two years.

Cameron Anthony, the Nuggets' star, scored 26 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in the first half. In the past, Melon has always given people the impression that he has not taken into account both production and efficiency like Ko Zhan and Wei. The Nuggets failed to achieve the expected record during the two-gun period, and Anthony gave people the impression of "data brush". It can be said that he has never been a real league superstar.

But since last season, Anthony has become truly mature, first tied George Gerwen's single-quarter scoring record, and then led the team to the Western Conference Finals, which established his superstar status.

This season, Anthony led the league with an average of 30.1 points per game, and was the only player in the league to score at least 20 points in each game. The key is that the team's record has not been affected by his personal high scores. Anthony has since become one of the league's superstars. His scoring efficiency and output are no less than Kobe, James, Wade and others.

During the halftime break, Xiaoma had no good countermeasures for Anthony who was so hot. In the first half, he tried to use Gallinari, Harrington and even David Lee to defend Anthony respectively, but the three of them had no good idea for the latter's big butts and all-round skills.

The Knicks later tried to use double-teams to limit their opponents, but facing Anthony, who has comprehensive offensive methods and can be both internal and external, it is still difficult to work. Today's Melon is in a state of insolvency, and it may not be useful for James to defend himself.

The reason Anthony is better than super scorers such as Kobe, James, and Wade on the offensive end is that he can use his advantages in height, weight, explosive power, etc. to make strong shots like a power forward in the paint area, either dunks, throws or hooks, and Melon has a variety of goals under the basket.

When Gallinari was in charge of defense, Anthony's ball-holding and outstanding confrontation ability on both wings was fully demonstrated. He could rely on his own confusion, either shooting himself, passing or dribbling, and this varied offensive model has become an Italian nightmare every time.

When Harrington was responsible for defense, he was in a weak position in his athletic ability. Anthony could gain a lot of advantages in both breakthroughs, back-attack or strong attack at the basket. Harrington could hardly affect this opponent whose physical fitness was better than his own.

Not to mention David Lee's defense, he could only defend the penalty area. But once Anthony pulled to the outside, the Knicks' center could only stare at him.

Anthony is strong and has a historic big butt, and even puts him in the power forward position, it can have a great advantage. Coupled with excellent athleticism and good feel, a melon with almost no solution is produced.

The beard couldn't think of a solution, so he simply decided to put Anthony aside for the time being and deal with other issues first.

In the first half, Billups also scored 20 points and 3 assists. If the Nuggets scorers were allowed to score points so unscrupulously, it would be too difficult for the Knicks to win this game. Even if they could not block all of them, they would at least have to keep an eye on one of them.

Therefore, the Knicks chose to focus on defending Billups in the third quarter, which is also a helpless choice. If only Anthony scored high points, the Knicks, who are also good at scoring points, can withstand it. Didn’t they also withstand Kobe in the last game?

"Guys, Denver guys put all their energy into offense. We added back-running and interlude in the second half. If you have the opportunity, you will boldly cut to the basket. Today, my pass is very good. Even if you make a few mistakes, it doesn't matter." Wu Huang was also discussing the second half game with his teammates. They didn't want to let go of this victory today. Wu Huang also wanted to break his single game 20+ assist milestone.

"No problem, I know how to do it."

"Don't worry, we won't stand still."

“…………”

Knicks players responded one after another when they heard this. Wu Huang was quite excited to "show up his arms and shout, and the world gathered to respond". Generally, teams with this atmosphere will not be too bad no matter how bad they are.

On the espn's team's combat power list, the New York Knicks are only ranked 20th, which means that their team's strength is considered the last in the league. But because the teams are united, even cancers like Milicic are now collectively affected and are willing to devote their energy to the game.

Many people may not know what this means. Perhaps only a few players such as James and Paul can make players like Milicic play seriously.

Of course, Milicic is at most serious in the game, and he still can't get excited in his usual training.

In the second half, the Knicks' lineup changed, and D'Antoni sent: Wu Huang, Hughes, Chandler, Garlinari, David Lee's small lineup aims to strengthen the impact of the forward line and jump shot ability on the back line.

Larry Hughes's athletic ability can no longer keep up with the pace of the NBA game, but his shooting ability is still very accurate, with rich game experience, and occasionally comes in handy.

The third quarter started with Nene's two free throws, and Hughes then hit two mid-range shots from both wings, and the Knicks led by 3 points again.

Billups began to try to launch a personal offense. In the first half, he used his strength advantages to break through the inside. Wu Huang had advantages in both footsteps and height, but he was bounced away as soon as he touched. The latter was 205 pounds in height, and the weight gap of 25 pounds made them at least two levels in terms of confrontation.

Although Wu Huang secretly decided during the break that even if he sacrificed his attack in the second half, he would have to take Billups to death and never let him ask for it like in the first half, the reality was obviously not so easy.

At 10 minutes and 46 seconds in the third quarter, Hughes finally missed his third shot, Kenyon Martin grabbed the rebound, and the Nuggets quickly launched a counterattack.

After receiving the ball, Billups accelerated and rushed to the frontcourt, and Wu Huang retreated immediately.

The key gentleman's speed is not as fast as Emperor Wu. Logically, there should be no chance in this fast attack, but Billups showed his skill and cunning in this offense. His route choice in this fast attack was very exquisite, almost running with Emperor Wu's butt.

"What does he mean?" Emperor Wu didn't understand Bilups' intention. He felt that as long as he ignored him and returned to his defensive area first, what's the use of Bilups chasing him like this?

Billups quickly told him the answer, and the two slowed down almost at the same time outside the three-point line, but the difference also appeared... After Billups stopped urgently, he could immediately make a shooting move, which was a three-pointer!

Only then did Wu Huang realize that although he stopped, he could not make a blocking action as soon as possible, because he had to use another process of forward force than the opponent. When he slowed down first, then exerted force, and finally made a blocking action, the basketball shot by Bilups had already flown over his head, and Wu Huang didn't have time to make any impact on Bilups' shooting.

"Swish!" What Billups is best at chasing three-pointers. The ball was neatly crossed the net, and the two teams tied again.

"Damn, I learned another move." Wu Huang secretly admired him. He did not expect that this goal was another small detail and lack of experience that made him passive. "But how to prevent this move?" Wu Huang quickly thought of another question. Could it be that he would not participate in the rebounding competition like Parker and start to retreat before the offense was over?

Wu Huang was thinking a little too much. Although the Nuggets did not launch a fast attack on the next defense, Billups keenly discovered that Wu Huang did not concentrate, so he immediately raised his hand and shot a cold shot, and then made another three-pointer.

"Boy, you shouldn't be distracted at this time." Billups shook his head to Emperor Wu after scoring the goal.

Emperor Wu's face turned red. He really shouldn't have thought so much at this time. Billups now scored two three-pointers in a row and had already scored 26 points today. D'Antoni's defensive arrangement during the break was declared a failure at the beginning of the second half.

Billups' performance is not over yet. He pretended to shoot the next attack and almost tricked Wu Huang into two plus one. However, through two free throws, he still completed his personal offensive of 8 points in a row, helping the diggers to overtake the Knicks by 5 points in one go.

D'Antoni must call a timeout this time. Emperor Wu was a little confused by Billups' combination punches for more than a minute. He had to call him a timeout and calm down.

After the Knicks suspended, the Knicks replaced Wu Huang for the time being. D'Antoni made this move to protect Wu Huang. He was worried that the one-minute suspension time would not be enough, so he would let him rest for two or three minutes before saying that he would not lose confidence in being beaten by an old man like Billups.

Emperor Wu's mentality is not so fragile, but he really needs to calm down and learn how skillful Bilups is on the court. Moreover, the opponent's offensive did make him passive. If he had a player with a bad mentality, he might have been taken away by him in a flash. No wonder this person is called "Mr. Key".

The team's core temporarily went off the court, but the Knicks did not collapse immediately. They also had a second-in-command.

David Lee was trapped by a foul issue today and played for a few minutes in the first half. At this time, he just took over the team's offensive banner.
Chapter completed!
