Chapter 137: Out of nothing
On December 2, the Knicks played against the Suns at home.
D'Antoni didn't know what was going crazy in this game, but he actually planned to let Igdala, who had just come to the team to report last night.
The first brother has no problem with physical strength. Yesterday he did not play for the Mavericks on behalf of the 76ers. He has not participated in the competition for four days, but his training has not been lost, so physical strength is naturally not a problem. But the problem is that he has not practiced with the team, and he was directly at the Knicks. Doesn’t it seem like he is a little bitch?
D'Antoni said it doesn't matter. Anyway, the Knicks are not a team that emphasizes discipline and technical and tactical cooperation as the Spurs and the Celtics. Their strongest tactic is to throw each other around. Therefore, as long as the players dare to play, shoot, and rush, and have the awareness and athletic ability to make a fast break...this is enough.
Someone will definitely ask, what to do if the defensive end?
D'Antoni also said it was OK. Their overall defense has always been dominated by single defense. There are very few joint defenses. Players double-team and assisting defense depends entirely on personal awareness. Iguodala is much better than Chandler, Gallinari and others in this regard, right?
Although Xiaomou's idea was good, the result of the game was obviously not as smooth as he expected.
The Suns played away today, but showed their attack power in Madison Garden. From the perspective of the whole game, they did not seem to have much advantage, but the Suns successfully widened the gap between the two teams with several attack waves led by Sir.
The problem with the Knicks today is that they cannot score a climax, and no one exploded at a critical moment. Including Wu Huang, the offense is also very ordinary today. He embarrassed Nash on the defensive end. He used his overall dominance to make the Canadians only score 12 points and 10 assists, but his own data is not better than his opponents.
Iguodala has the same problem. He frozen former dunk king Richardson on the defensive end, allowing his opponent to score 8 points and 6 rebounds, but he only handed over a 10-point, 5 rebounds and 8 assists answer. He can't be considered as having much advantage.
Wu Huang contributed 15 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists in the whole game, Iguodala scored 10 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists, David Lee scored 14 points and 9 rebounds, Gallinari scored 19 points and 4 rebounds, and Harrington scored 18 points and 5 rebounds.
The Knicks players are in full swing today and have performed well on the defensive end, but no one in the team scored 20 points, which made them lose the biggest magic weapon for winning in the past.
The Suns are different. Stoudemire is a powerful figure in the interior today. He scored 37 points and 12 rebounds alone. It was his big explosion of 9 points in a row in the fourth quarter that defeated the Knicks alone.
The final score was 96:109, and the Knicks lost to the Phoenix Suns at home, and their winning streak was over again.
"We played too selflessly, too many unnecessary passes, and lacked continuous scoring output. These are the reasons why we lost the game." D'Antoni severely criticized the team's game style change after the game. How could they play so reasonably?
That’s right, in the eyes of the beard, the Knicks played very well today. It’s really not worth it to make such a low-level mistake after playing nearly twenty games!
Iguodala and Wu Huang have a problem today. They often stop from the fast attack state to find their teammates, and then selflessly hand the basketball over to teammates with better positions. Xiao Hu said to this: "Look for your sister, don't pass the ball to your teammates when you get it, just do it!"
Look at the assists of Wu Huang and Iguodala today, 9 times and 8 times. However, the Knicks do not need them to contribute such data. Just give the pass task to Wu Huang alone. Iguodala's task is to make a fast attack and hit the basket if you have the chance. Don't stop to support if you don't have the chance... This will turn into a positional battle? Isn't their invincible "blind cock fighting" rhythm completely messed up?
Of course, this cannot be entirely blamed on Iguodala. After all, the number one brother has been the boss of the 76ers for more than two years. Suddenly letting him play the role of Marion back then, it will definitely take some time to adapt. As the saying goes, haste is not enough. Iguodala has not practiced with the team once, so it is not surprising that he will not distinguish between the main and second place with Emperor Wu today.
Emperor Wu himself was not too angry. He felt bad today. Besides, losing a game doesn't mean anything.
However, Iguodala's ball rights usage rate was indeed a bit high in this game, and it actually exceeded 30!
"Ball rights usage rate" is also called usg, which means the "offensive round (pos color private)" index occupied by the player every 40 minutes, including shots, mistakes and assists. It is also commonly known as the "Ball Ruler Index".
The boss of the NBA team is generally around 25, and the attacking backcourt players with a unique style of play are around 20, and most normal players are around 15. Generally speaking, the Usg player is higher than the inside.
To give some examples, the data of the famous ball dominant Kobe and James in fans have been among the top in recent seasons, but this year's ball dominant has quietly changed people, Wu Huang is the most ruthless ball dominant this year. His ball dominant has exceeded 40, reaching a terrifying ball dominant of 41.3. Basically, the Knicks' basketball is in his hands alone.
Wu Huang also knew that it would be impossible to continue playing like this. Over time, other teams will definitely make various targeted defenses based on his habit of sticking the ball. By that time, he will be tragic, so he needs to hand over some ball rights. Moreover, breaking Kobe's record in the first season is not a glorious thing.
In the history of NBA, the highest ball-use rate was Kobe (38.74) in the 2005-06 season. Many fans should still remember how Kobe performed that season. He averaged 35.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game in a single season, scored 40+ in 27 games, and scored 50+ in 6 games, including 81 points against the Raptors on January 22, 2006.
When talking about Kobe's epic battle with 81 points, what was the boss's ball rights use rate at that time?
The answer is: 56.8.
Wu Huang’s average ball rights usage rate at breaking through 41 is indeed a bit too high, but his data is far less than Kobe that season, which shows that he often means meaninglessly possessing the ball, so this habit must be changed.
He is not angry that Iguodala has a high ball control rate because he feels that his ball control rate is too high.
In the game against the Suns, Wu Huang's ball control rate is relatively normal. The whole game is only 32.5, while Iguodala is 30.2. It would not be bad if this ratio can be maintained. Wu Huang is now preparing to reduce his ball control rate to a 33-36 area, so that he will not break Kobe's record of first ball dominance in history.
After the Knicks played against the Suns, they could stay in New York for a day to rest. The team would face a difficult away game back-to-back schedule. The opponents were first powerful Magic, followed by the equally powerful Hawks. Both opponents were not easy to deal with, and the three consecutive losses were across the river from them.
####
Just the night before heading to Orlando to challenge the monster, Emperor Wu was stunned at home alone.
He really has no programs today. Although there are wonderful programs waiting for him in the high-end nightclub that is open to him for free, he is embarrassed to go!
Well... After all, all the big talk has been released, and this time he will lose all his reputation, so he can only practice the martial arts sincerely at home.
To be honest, he originally thought that he had been on two boats, and he should have been unable to do anything every night, and he devoted himself to his work until his death... he had no time to be alone again. But these two days Taylor Swift was holding a concert, and the little vampire was promoting movies in other places, so he became single again. You can't solve the problem with the lack of success by yourself, right?
"Who am I going to flirt with?" Wu Huang sat at the computer desk. This was one of the places where he could relieve his loneliness when he was bored. In order to open more groups with girls, he also spared no effort to build five machines, one Apple desktop and one Apple laptop, one XP system desktop and one In7 system desktop, plus an Android tablet, and then used desktop wallpapers representing different girls on the desktops of the five machines, which basically ensured that the wrong line would not occur.
He knew what was the most tragic thing when "opening more", of course it was to connect the wrong line. That situation was more than just embarrassing. It was simply terrible!
"Yoho, Yoho, both loli are online!" Wu Huang turned on the computer and saw that Line 3 and Line 4 were light up. He subconsciously licked his lips and quickly sent a message to Kroo Moretz, "What is my 16-year-old girlfriend doing?"
After sending the message, Emperor Wu waited for a long time, but found that Kroo Moretz ignored him at all.
"It's so unrestrained. I used to go back in seconds. Are you filming?" When Emperor Wu saw that he didn't react, he planned to flirt with Emma Roberts. Big Mouth Loli has been busy with website affairs for a while and even pushed the game several times. The boss, he should care and comfort his subordinates.
"Ding bell!" Before Emperor Wu could tease Emma Roberts, his doorbell was actually ringed.
"Bastard, who will come at this time?" Wu Huang's apartment has strict security measures. There are security guards on duty on the underground parking lot and the first floor lobby. There is no access card for visitors. Even if you are on the visitor list, someone will notify him first. So only three people can take the elevator to ring the doorbell. Taylor Swift, Christine and his agent Brandon Moretz. Only these three people have access card he specifically applied for.
Speaking of which, Taylor Swift and Christine rarely come to his apartment, but instead he always goes to the girl's house for a try, which is something he has always been strange to.
"Why is it so slow? I'm learning how to be a superhero."
As soon as Emperor Wu opened the door, he didn't see anyone at first sight. After hearing the sound, he quickly looked down and saw a child with purple hair, black leather jacket, black windbreaker, and black eye mask, dressed like a mental patient.
"Who are you?" Emperor Wu thought he had hallucinations at first, so he quickly rubbed his eyes. When he looked at it, he found that the lunatic child actually took out a butterfly knife and pulled two sword flowers in front of his waist. He was so scared that he was so cold that he quickly took a step back and whispered: "What do you want to do?"
"Idiot, it's me!" The lunatic child took off his dark eye mask and looked up. Emperor Wu then breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be the little kid, Kolo Moretz.
"Wait, why did you get my access card? How did you get it?" Wu Huanggang breathed a sigh of relief, and felt something was wrong. How could the little girl run to his door through layers of security checks to show off her power?
Krool Morez played two more swords at him and said with a flaunt, "How about it, I'm good at this skill, I'm going to beat eight like you, right?"
Emperor Wu snorted and said, "Don't change the topic, haven't you said how it came up?"
"What's the difficulty? I'm going to film in New York during this period. Please ask my economic man for other things." Khlo Moretz was really not polite. After saying that, he lowered his head and got into the Wu Royal Family.
"Your agent? Who is your agent?" Wu Huang was a little stunned, with a lot of questions. He shouted from behind: "By the way, Brandon is also living in New York. If you don't go to your brother's house, what's the point of running to me? And, how did you get up?"
Kolau Moretz smashed his whole body on the sofa in Wu Huang's living room. He smiled and said, "Of course my brother brought me up. Could it be that I killed your apartment security guard? Also, he is my agent and is parking below. I originally wanted to live in his house, but his girlfriend was there too. Besides, he is busy with work all the time, and no one takes care of me anyway, so I'll just come to your house." Kolau Moretz smiled suddenly when he said this, "Besides, didn't you say I'm your 16-year-old girlfriend? Although I'm still more than three years old, it shouldn't matter if I live in your house for a while, right?"
Emperor Wu was reluctant to slap himself, and he always felt that there was a lot of something wrong with what the little girl said... For example... Aren't the four Morez brothers all gay? How could they have a girlfriend?
"This, I don't have time to take care of you. I'm going to Orlando tomorrow, and then I'm going to Atlanta again. There are many away games to play this month. You live at my house, what if you starve to death?"
"Ph, ph, ph, ph, I know how to cook myself, let alone how I need to cook myself. I have my own personal assistant to take care of me, and she will be responsible for my food, clothing, housing and transportation when you go away."
Wu Huang was furious: "Don't you treat my home as a hotel? Didn't your crew rent a hotel room for you?"
Kroo Moretz pouted unhappily when he heard this, and said, "The crew has only arranged a three-star hotel. If there is a five-star hotel, who will come to your house?"
Before Wu Huang could think about the crew would be so stingy, another doorbell rang at the door.
"Hugo, is that girl coming up?" Brandon was carrying two big bags at the door. Emperor Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him.
"Here, why? I heard you have a girlfriend?" Emperor Wu remembered the little girl's words just now, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt funny.
"Ah... what are you kidding!" Brandon's expression was a little unnatural when he heard this. "I've been so busy that I can't even go back to my home, so I don't have time to talk about those. By the way, I calculated that you should use up your daily necessities. I just bought some daily necessities you often use in a nearby supermarket. What else do you lack?"
Now it was Emperor Wu's turn to express his expression unnatural. The two big bags Brandon was carrying were actually filled with shower gel, shampoo, toothpaste, towels and other daily necessities.
Most importantly, his daily necessities are indeed almost used up.
Hell, isn't this guy very busy?
Then why are you still so accurate about this little thing? It seems that the heartless little singer and the little vampire have never fucked him in this way. It's terrifying to think about it carefully!
"Some of it is yours, some of it is Kollow, and they are mixed together when they are installed, and they will be divided later." Brandon's words immediately misunderstood Emperor Wu. He had no idea. Originally, Kollow Moretz lived in Brandon's house, but just in the supermarket, the little girl deliberately mixed two bags of things together, and then came up to talk to Emperor Wu about the previous ones. Now he thought Brandon really planned to let Kollow Moretz live here.
"Okay, let the little girl divide it by herself later." Emperor Wu took the thing, but what he said made Brandon stunned.
Kolo Moretz heard this and ran out in time and interrupted, "I have lived in Brother Hugo's house in the past two weeks. Just go and go there. I think this place is much better than your doghouse and is closer to the shooting location."
Brandon was stunned again when he heard this, but then again, Wu Huang’s apartment was indeed much more luxurious than his home, after all, the income of the two was more than ten times different.
"Did you agree?" Brandon asked Emperor Wu, but Emperor Wu thought he was embarrassed by this question.
"How could he disagree? Didn't he have a personal assistant to take care of him? Anyway, it won't affect me, so don't worry." Emperor Wu also knew that Brandon was very busy recently. Since he wanted to help take care of the little girl, of course he would not refuse such a request.
"Okay, I really have to go to Europe in two days. There are two big contracts to negotiate there. This girl will bother you for a while." Brandon thought about it and agreed. If Emperor Wu couldn't believe it, who else could believe it?
"Is there any new endorsement?" Wu Huang's current endorsement contracts are not many, and most of them have been dragged down by them. Brandon believes that after Wu Huang was selected as the All-Star, the period when he was the highest in the past two years, and the endorsement amount could reach the highest at that time.
