Chapter 167 Bosh or Stoudemire
The Knicks signed another free agent before the game against the Rockets, Jonathan Bend, who has been away from the NBA for three years.
Jonathan Bend was selected by the Raptors in the fifth pick in the first round in 1999. This was a genius who was regarded as the next Garnett at the time. Unfortunately, he suffered a serious injury in the NBA and was not shot out. He was retired at the age of 24 due to injuries in O6.
Jonathan Bend made a comeback this season, but no team believes that a patient who has retired for almost four years can still achieve results. The Knicks would not have considered him if they were not seriously lacking the inside.
After Wu Huang learned about this news, he specially sent a text message to greet the new teammate before the game. He had heard of this genius who could jump and dunk at the free throw line, but unfortunately his injury destroyed him, otherwise he might be an All-Star player now.
"So, how important is the ability to resist injuries." Wu Huang also sighed after finishing the text message. Sometimes the ability to resist injuries is more important, bounce, and explosive power are also important. Kobe, Jordan, Duncan, and Nash are good examples. Look at the geniuses who were destroyed by injuries, such as Weber and Hill, and you will know that endurance is the most important attribute. No matter how awesome a genius dies in one episode, it is also a tragedy.
Many fans will ask, what exactly is the ability to resist injuries?
In fact, the ability to resist injuries is a very general saying. 40% of them belong to physical fitness, 30% are related to playing style, basketball merchants, etc., and the other 30% depends on luck.
Wu Huang's physical fitness is naturally fine. He has done a good job in playing style, football merchants, and injuries prevention, not to mention the remaining luck. He can continue to hook up with Xiao Gu Liang when he steps on two boats. If he doesn't have some luck, he doesn't know how to die!
In this game, the Houston Rockets were at home to Toyota Center, facing the Knicks who had won three consecutive victories.
The two teams had just traded not long ago. McGrady did not play in the first two games. The official news for the Knicks is that they have recovered from injury and are currently on the verge of indefinitely.
In fact, all fools know that they must have been banned.
This is not only because Emperor Wu is unwilling to cooperate with McGrady, but Garlinari and others also do not welcome McGrady, because as long as McGrady plays, he will naturally seize the playing time of the original players. He, a latecomer, will of course be excluded by the entire team.
D'Antoni has been wanting to trade McGrady recently. However, due to the restrictions of the alliance trading regulations, it is difficult for McGrady to take action now, unless they are willing to pay a big price, or someone is willing to pay a big price, but in this way, the meaning of the transaction will be lost. No one is willing to suffer losses in trading.
Recently, ESPN revealed that the Knicks' current targets are Stoudemire of the Suns and Chris Bosh of the Raptors. They are preparing to provide quotations to the Suns and Raptors in order to get "Little Bullshit" and "Dragon King". Although the league has regulations that players who have just traded can only be exchanged within two months, they have a way to bypass this regulation to make the funds of both sides equal, and also violate the league regulations.
But the real problem is that these two teams are not willing to let the Knicks get such a big advantage. Although these two inside players may jump out of contract and become free agents next season, the Suns and the Raptors still have fantasies.
According to Basketball World Report, the Raptors are not interested in McGrady's expiration contract. The Raptors still have hope of entering the playoffs, and they are unwilling to trade Bosh. Similarly, the Suns are the same. Once they lose the fantasy combination of Nash and Sir, the Suns will completely lose hope and have to rebuild.
Bosh averages .7 points and 11.3 rebounds per game this season, with both career-high numbers. The Raptors have shown no signs of wanting to trade Bosh recently, but since Bosh can choose to become a free agent this summer, the Raptors may get nothing at that time, so they must have concerns about this, so the Knicks still have a chance.
Stodmeier's data this season has declined compared to his peak, and his market is actually not as good as Bosh. After all, Xiao S's knee has undergone minimally invasive surgery, and his peak period will definitely be affected. The probability of a sharp decline after the age of 2 is very high, so if the Knicks can choose, they will definitely want Bosh more than Xiao S.
Dasabie of the New York Times has mentioned this a long time ago, and the Knicks are willing to get Bosh through trades immediately. Of course, if the chips are right, this is what most teams in the league are willing to do. Bosh is undoubtedly one of the most dominant power forwards in the league, and there are not many talented players around him.
Bosh's current situation in the Raptors is quite similar to Paul Gasol when he was with the Grizzlies a few years ago. Gasol is also one of the most talented players in the league, but because he has never been able to lead the Grizzlies to win in the playoffs, he has always been considered a loser.
Gasol was eventually traded to the Lakers. Since then, the Lakers have entered the finals every year and eventually won the championship last season and are likely to defend their title this year.
This example is very important to the Knicks and Bosh. New York is no longer a star black hole. The biggest concerns of these stars can be ruled out first. Secondly, the Knicks have a much better record this season than the Raptors. Now the Raptors are only ranked No. 1 in the Eastern Conference, and they are likely to not be able to enter the playoffs in the end, so the biggest bargaining chip that the Knicks attracts Bosh is their young and full of potential lineup, and the temptation to play in the playoffs.
If Bosh can join the current Knicks, although they are still a long way from winning the championship, they are at least sure to make it to the second term, and even have the hope of touching the floor of the Eastern Conference Finals, which is much better than if he never sees hope in the Raptors.
Emperor Wu has been instructed by Donny Walls recently and has been in touch with Bosh. The two often call each other to greet each other after the other wins, which shows that Bosh also has the intention to leave the Raptors.
D'Antoni naturally hoped that Sin could come to the Knicks, but Donny Walls hoped that Bosh would come to New York, and the two of them had been shattering each other.
How come the saying goes, there will be struggles in places where there are people. This is not specifically used to describe the Chinese, and it is suitable for both at home and abroad.
Emperor Wu was too lazy to pay attention to so much. In short, he would help him wherever he did the action, and in the end he would be the one who could make the final decision.
Yao Ming was watching today's game on the sidelines. He was basically reimbursed this season. The little giant who had just finished the surgery had to use crutches at least before the All-Stars. If he wanted to make a comeback, he had to wait for next season.
When Wu Huang walked into the Toyota Center today, he not only did not receive boos, but instead saw many Chinese fans wearing his jerseys and sneakers. Today, at least 2,000 Chinese fans came to the stadium.
An article before espn's game was very interesting. The report said that Ariza's three-point shots this season reached 218, ranking second in the league, second only to the Knicks, Wu Huang, who made two three-point shots.
However, the Rockets 1's three-point shooting percentage was very unbearable. He ranked directly outside the league's 1oo title. In sharp contrast, Wu Huang, whose three-point shooting percentage reached 41.9%, ranking fourth among all players in the league with more than 100 three-point shootings.
This is how the nickname "Tieza" comes from. Ariza really does not have the talent to become an All-Star. His number of shots in the Rockets is not much different from that of Emperor Wu. However, the data of the two are two levels different, which shows that the gap between people is so big.
As soon as the game started, Garlinari made a layup in the middle and was given a big hot pot by Bathir on the wing, but the rebound was taken by David Lee and he hit a tip-in.
The New York center has been in good shape in the last two games. If he hadn't encountered some opponents who restrain him, he could still make a lot of contributions to the team.
Today, Wu Huang faced Brooks, who may not be 18 years old. He bullied others with his power for the first time to shoot, and took a step back and attacked Xiao Hei Dou outside the three-point line.
Ariza does not have the talent of a star. Instead, he has an all-star mentality. He actually competes with Emperor Wu and also attacks outside the three-point line, but ends up fighting in anger under Iguodala's defense!
Iguodala did not plan to let Ariza score double-digit points today. With David Lee's throw, Garlinari made a long three-pointer, and the Knicks scored a small ** and started with a 14:2 lead.
"It's too ruthless!" Yao Ming knew that his team was not necessarily afraid of strong teams like the Lakers and Cavaliers, but he was most afraid of teams like the Knicks and the Thunder, who were younger and better athletic. He was also better at playing blindly.
Aaron Brooks played the best season of his career this year, but he was unable to continue his madness today when facing Emperor Wu. Their talents were too far apart. Whether they were playing technical or fighting head-on, Emperor Wu could not turn over. This was a comprehensive crush.
Adelman requested a timeout, and after the timeout, Scola hooked up and scored 2 points, but the Rockets were always behind. David Lee met an Argentinian whose physical fitness was not as good as his, but he performed well today. He met someone he could control today.
When the Rockets played against the Hawks this season, Scola performed well against Horford and Josh Smith, but today he was disappointed when facing David Lee, who had just been taught by these two people. The interesting phenomenon of NBA's mutual restraint is also an important reason for the fans' excitement.
"I won't have a nemesis!" Emperor Wu's only miserable defeat was to face Chris Paul, but he did not repeat the same mistake when he met the queen bee the second time, so he never felt that anyone could really restrain himself, that kind of person was not born yet.
Emperor Wu played very easily in this game. "Batman" Battier is already a little old. His assisted defense cannot have too much impact on Emperor Wu in the No. 1 position. Emperor Wu felt that Ariza's assisted defense was more difficult.
However, today the Knicks' offensive core was David Lee. This guy made 3 of 3 shots at the beginning, and Wu Huang began to consciously feed him the ball.
David Lee's performance lived up to expectations. With 3 minutes and 35 seconds left in the first quarter, former Knicks player Jeffries caused an offensive foul at the basket, but the Knicks still led the Rockets by 9 points with 22:13.
Since Wu Huang hit the first three-pointer, he has not shot again. He knew that he wanted to score 5o+ in the face of the Rockets like an immortal little strongman, so he did not use scoring as the first goal from the beginning.
But before the game is over, he has to attack with reason, so that he can be worthy of the fans who support him on the away game.
In the 3rd minute and 16th second, Wu Huang got an empty block at the top of the free throw area, and Kokang leaned back and took action
This ball was almost missed by Bathir's assisted defense, but he was lucky. The basketball bounced a little and fell into the net. Even the goddess of luck was interesting to him.
Luck!" Taylor Swift snorted in front of the TV at this time. She was considering whether to start a live broadcast to play against Christine. However, she was still a little worried while being angry, worried that it would be difficult to end. She was not stupid enough to know that it might not be beneficial to her to force Emperor Wu too quickly.
Emperor Wu had already put this kind of thing aside at this time. With his rare 28, his appearance at Daniel Wu and his top money-making ability among athletes around the world, he will never lack women.
Half a minute later, Wu Huang took another shot from the right side of the top of the three-point arc. He saw a simple dribble under his crotch, then took a step back, and made a three-pointer, and the basketball hit steadily.
D'Antoni felt that the time was almost over. He replaced him with two minutes left in the first quarter. Wu made 3 of 4 shots in the quarter, scoring 8 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists.
"My shooting percentage has been really good during this period." After Wu Huang left the court, he took his own data table from Woodson. The latter drew a red line in his shooting percentage column. His shooting percentage in recent games is indeed very high, which has also increased his average shooting percentage a lot. (To be continued.)
