Chapter 146 No Rookie Wall
New York media has not yet pushed Wu Huang, who has performed poorly in the last two games, to the news center because they have received a new trade rumor, and New York fans are obviously more concerned about this rumor.
This rumor came from Houston. McGrady had just returned and played two games, but it was confusing that McGrady played in less than 8 minutes per game, and then rumors about McGrady's trade began to scramble.
There is no wind and waves. Through Houston's use of McGrady, it is almost certain that whether it is sent away before the transaction deadline or may be traded immediately in a few days, the sleepy man's days in Houston have begun to count down.
There are still a large number of teams in the league who are interested in this former top swingman, although people still don't know what state he is now, or what state he can be restored to?
According to ESPN, the New York Knicks are working to make a deal with the Rockets, and they have been one of McGrady's most persistent followers over the past two weeks. But the obstacle they are currently facing is that the Knicks want to send Jeffries to Houston, while the Rockets are reluctant to accept his contract.
The biggest problem for the Knicks to trade McGrady is not that the Rockets don’t want Jeffries, but that after they traded to Iguodala, they no longer had too many chips to match McGrady’s 22 million super contract.
Eddie Curry has a big contract of $11.3 million, Jeffries' contract is as high as $6.9 million, and Larry Hughes has a maximum salary contract of $13.6 million. However, the Rockets look down on any of the above three people, and they don't want any of them, let alone the Knicks intends to use two of them to package the transaction. Morey is not so stupid.
On December 19, the Knicks faced the Los Angeles Clippers back to back,
The Clippers have also had a good momentum recently. In the last game, they just washed away the Timberwolves and won two consecutive victories. Today they met the Knicks, back-to-back. Their goal is to win three consecutive victories, and by the way, they gave the Knicks three consecutive losses.
As soon as the game started, the Clippers gave the Knicks a 5:0 victory!
Bearded Balang Davis made a breakthrough layup and scored 5 points in a row from a long three-pointer. Using his strength advantage made Emperor Wu very uncomfortable.
In the inside competition, the Clippers also had the advantage. The inside combination of Carman and Camby made consecutive layups, and the Clippers forced D'Antoni to request a first timeout 9:4.
After the timeout, Gallinari came on the court to replace Hughes, but was beaten by the Clippers to a 7:2 climax.
Camby dunked with both hands, Gordon made a 2+1 counterattack, and the Clippers gradually led by about 10 points. It was not until 2 minutes and 50 seconds left in the first quarter that Wu Huang gradually found his state. He first assisted David Lee, then made a long three-pointer, so the Knicks were able to narrow the gap, and finally ended the first quarter with 5 points behind 19:24.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Wu Huang broke out completely. He used his advantage in footsteps and kept using his teammates to find a mobile phone... He made a three-pointer from a long shot and scored 5 points in a middle-range jump shot, leading the Knicks to tie the score 24:24.
The Clippers quickly requested a timeout, and after the timeout, David Lee took the opportunity to make another jump shot. Iguodala made two consecutive counterattacks, and the Knicks further widened the gap.
Eric Gordon of the Clippers was completely locked by Iguodala in the second quarter. The No. 1 shot a three-pointer from the right with 3 minutes and 25 seconds left in the second quarter, helping the Knicks lead 11 points 44:33. The Clippers were forced to call a timeout again!
The Knicks then led by about 10 points until the last 4 seconds of the first half, Byron Davis used his strength to break through and layup to score 2 points, and the Clippers fell behind by 8 points 43:51 and entered the midfield break.
Wu Huang opened up completely in the second quarter, constantly using his teammates to shoot, making 8 of 12 shots in the first half. One man scored the highest 20 points and 4 assists in the first half. David Lee followed closely behind with 10 points and 6 rebounds, Iguodala scored 7 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, Garlinari scored 6 points, and Harrington scored 5 points.
After the start of the second half, Thorton and Carman kept jumping shots to help the Clippers catch up at 50:53.
With 6 minutes and 50 seconds left in the third quarter, Sauton made a three-pointer from the left corner and hit another shot, with a score of 58:59, and the Clippers were only 1 point behind the Knicks.
D'Antoni was forced to suspend. After the timeout, Wu Huang made a breakthrough jump shot and stabilized his morale. He played until 3 minutes and 10 seconds left in the third quarter. David Lee scored his 14th point in the middle-distance jump shot from the bottom line, helping the Knicks lead again with 4 points with 68:64.
The Clippers also called for a timeout. After the timeout, the two teams scored each other. After the Knicks finished the third quarter, they led by 6 points and entered the fourth quarter with a 78:72 lead.
The fourth quarter game entered a fierce heat, and veteran Camby continuously interfered with the Knicks inside players' shooting, leading the Clippers to catch up with 82:85.
There were 8 minutes and 02 seconds left in the last quarter. With Carman hitting a hook, the Clippers were only one point behind again, forcing D'Antoni to call a timeout.
In the last quarter, the inside offense suddenly became silent. Marcus Cambie played the best defensive team skills in two sessions. The young David Lee and Fry were full of bags in front of the Clippers' 36-year-old veteran.
At the critical moment, Wu Huang made a three-pointer from the top of the arc in the middle to stabilize the situation. He then used his speed to break through Davis and scored 4 points, scoring 7 points in a row to help the Knicks open the score again.
The bearded man was so angry that he was so embarrassed that he had angered by this wave of beatings. With 4 minutes and 40 seconds left in the fourth quarter, he had an argument with Emperor Wu. The two almost started fighting, but fortunately they were pulled away by their teammates.
Byron Davis suffered a technical foul for this, and Wu Huang took the opportunity to shoot and widen the score to 97:85.
In the last 3 minutes and 30 seconds of the game, Wu Huang broke through Davis and scored a mid-range jump shot, helping the Knicks lead by 101:87 and 14 points, and the victory is in sight!
Byron Davis was already angry by Wu Huang's constant trash talk and score. Of course, he was not a good thing. He was greeted at Wu Huang many times in the game. Today, Wu Huang's desire to attack was extremely strong, and Davis's constant small movements on him were also part of the reason.
In the last 2 minutes and 55 seconds of the fourth quarter, Byron Davis became hot after being intercepted by Emperor Wu, and couldn't help but attack Emperor Wu who turned around and attacked him directly, and directly reached out and slapped him on the back of the head.
Fortunately, Emperor Wu turned around and dropped quickly. Davis didn't slap his palm, but he still rushed to the floor as if he was shot!
This action was too bad. No one knew whether Davis's fight was correct. Harrington next to him was the first to rush up to settle the score with the bearded man. If David Lee hadn't pulled him behind him, Byron Davis would have been crushed to the floor by Harrington.
The court was in a mess in an instant, and the players of both teams rushed forward and pushed each other continuously.
The New York fans at home are also eager to rush to the court to kill the hateful Byron Davis, and for a moment, the whole audience is cursing against the bearded!
The referee was very clear. After separating the players of the two teams, he directly showed Byron Davis a "first-level malicious foul" and expelled him from the court.
After being beaten by Davis, Emperor Wu kept rolling on the floor. However, when the two players were clashing just now, he didn't know where he was going?
This time, it was time for a free throw. Everyone saw him pretending to stand up, running to the free throw line, facing the cheers of the fans of the court, and the Knicks made two free throws, widening the score gap to 18 points.
There is not much time left in the fourth quarter, and the suspense of this game is gone. D'Antoni replaces Wu Huang, who is not sure whether he is a real injury or a fake injury, and the game officially enters garbage time.
The final score was 110:95, and the Knicks defeated the Los Angeles Clippers back-to-back, perfectly ending their three-game losing streak.
Wu Huang played 36 minutes in the whole game. He scored 38 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks. He used 30+ data to prove that he had just a nap in the first two games. "Rookie Wall" would not happen to him at all.
At the post-match press conference, the conflict at the end of the game naturally became the focus of media interviews.
With the last 2 minutes and 55 seconds left in the game, the Knicks led the double digits. Davis was cut off by Wu Huang, who immediately launched a fast attack, but Davis used a malicious move to knock him down from behind.
Al Harrington was the first to rush up and pressed Davis, who was caught off guard with his arm, trying to declare justice.
At this time, Gallinari also joined the battle. He began to speak in his mouth and push and shoved in his hands.
Players from both sides then joined in, and the scene was a little chaotic for a while, so no one noticed that Wu Huang, who was rolling all over the ground, actually rolled out of the crowd perfectly. He avoided the damage of war trampling between the enemy and us, and this move was also 6.
"This is a fierce and malicious foul," Garlinari, who had been striking the game at the time of the incident, said without blushing after the game. "I just wanted to make sure that no one was causing trouble and that everyone would not get into a quarrel. You pushed me at that time. I pushed you, and you pushed you everywhere."
Fortunately, there was no fight on the court, and Byron Davis was finally convicted of a malicious foul and was directly expelled from the court.
After the game, the bearded man said that he did not want to maliciously foul on Emperor Wu. "I just wanted to prevent him from launching a fast attack, and I didn't hit him hard, but it was a bit too exaggerated when he fell down."
Wu Huang was naturally nothing. After the game, he said wisely: "I don't think this foul was intentional. He should have gone for the ball. He just didn't hit the ball before hitting the back of my head, so I didn't feel unhappy." Look at what Wu Huang said, "I didn't hit the ball, but I accidentally hit the back of my head." Doesn't this look unhappy?
Al Harrington was also shown a technical foul at the time. He said he didn't think Davis was a dirty player, but he still felt that he wanted to go up and protect his teammates. "I don't think he was going to rush to Hugo's head, but he did play. That kind of action is something we don't allow to appear in the game."
Well, let's get out of this skirmish first. Today the Knicks scored 52% shooting percentage, but during the game, they didn't throw the Clippers far because they made too many mistakes, and they made too frequent fouls, and the inside defense was not good.
In the first half, the Clippers had 16 free throws, hitting 14 free throws, and in the second half, they also hitting 11 free throws, which obviously had too many free throws.
In the whole game, Wu Huang was undoubtedly the most impressive player. He scored 38 points and tied his highest score in a single game, but his contribution was far more than scoring. In addition to 38 points, Wu Huang also contributed 6 assists, 6 rebounds, 4 steals and 2 blocks. He showed his versatility and vitality, leading the Knicks to repel the Clippers.
