In the last 19 seconds of the first quarter, McGrady caused Ariza to foul and made 1 of 2 free throws. The Knicks led by 16 points in the end of the quarter.

McGrady was re-activated in this game, and D'Antoni replaced him after King Wu left the court, hoping to take advantage of McGrady's dissatisfaction with the Rockets, and the effect was sloppy.

ab broadcast this game live today. Former Rockets coach Van Gundy was naturally sent to comment on this game. He believed that the Rockets' big score behind in the first quarter was due to physical decline, which was reflected in the data. The most obvious thing was the regression of fast breaks. "Without Yao, the Rockets advocated bombardment this season and accelerated the defense rate. The biggest change was the increase in the number of fast breaks. Last season, the Rockets averaged only 8.2 fast breaks, and this season, the data increased to 14.8 times, almost doubled. However, in the past three games, Rockets players obviously couldn't run, and averaged only 7.6 fast breaks per game."

Mark Jackson said: "The Knicks are the team with the most fast breaks per game this season. They have averaged 17.5 fast breaks per game, and they can score 2o.3 points through fast breaks per game. Both of these data are the best in the league."

After the start of the second quarter, the Rockets gradually woke up. Scola hooked up, and Lori intercepted and counterattacked, leading the home team to score 6, but Iguodala immediately jumped to the jump shot. Then McGrady rarely cut into the basket and received the ball and made a one-handed heavy dunk, which vaguely reminded him of his appearance at the peak.

Wu Huang applauded on the sidelines. McGrady's body is definitely not unrecoverable. At least 70% of her athletic ability will be restored at the peak. In fact, McGrady is only just 31 years old and has not reached the peak. However, it takes more effort to maintain her condition at this age than young players.

A 2O-year-old player is at the best stage in training results and recovery ability. During this period, they will gain as much as they suffer.

One-year-old players are different. They often only get one point with two points. If they have been seriously injured, they will be accompanied by pain and torture in training. Therefore, this is why those players whose condition declines rapidly after the age of 30 are the reason.

Besides, players of this age have generally made enough money and rarely work as hard as they were when they were young. McGrady is an example, but it is understandable, it is just a natural person.

Ariza quickly posted on McGrady on the defensive end, constantly using aggressive defensive actions to threaten McGrady's safety when holding the ball, preventing him from easily receiving basketball and breaking through.

McGrady is now afraid of such a defense. After the explosive power decreases, it will be difficult for him to get rid of his opponent's close defense.

D'Antoni saw McGrady unable to struggle with Ariza's close-up guard off the court, and he had a clearer understanding of his abilities. McGrady is really worth using it now, and it would be better to give young Danny Green some opportunities than to use him.

The Knicks' forward line is no longer bloated after the trade. It can completely give Danny Green, who is trained hard, some opportunities to play.

Soon, D'Antoni replaced McGrady and replaced Danny Green, who had never been able to play.

David Lee's touch was still surprisingly good in the second quarter. Although Rockets players struggled to catch up, they did not have a real star to lead, so it was difficult to approach the score difference. The Knicks' leading advantage has always been above 10 points.

At 6:28, all the main players of the Rockets came on the court, but to the regret of home fans, the Rockets' offense was set again. Ariza and Bud missed repeatedly, and the Knicks took the initiative again. Wu Huang actually forced Brooks to take the ball back at the low post, and turned around and jump shot cleanly widened the gap to 16 points. Ah Shuai immediately called a timeout.

After D'Antoni suspended, he told the team to end the game as soon as possible. Their first half of January schedule was very relaxed, but the schedule began to become dense in the second half of the month. This situation will continue until before the All-Stars. During this period, they will have to fight almost two days. If they can accumulate more physical strength during the beginning of the month, they can make their next schedule easier.

Emperor Wu naturally won’t have the mentality of scoring points anymore at this time. He also plans to end the suspense of this game as soon as possible and send the game to garbage time in advance.

After the timeout, the Rockets' offense still did not improve. Wu Huang and Iguodala completely blocked the attacks of Bu and Ariza, and Bathir and Hayes did not have much ability to play with the ball. Only Scola was a little star in their eyes, but the Argentinian met David Lee in the same shape again today, and the Rockets were suppressed by the Knicks in the entire line.

In the last 42 seconds of the second quarter, Iguodala took the ball and went straight to the frontcourt. Then he stopped at the free throw line, killed a rifle, turned around and passed the ball to Wu Huang behind him, and blocked Ariza. Wu Huang received the ball and hit a three-pointer steadily.

At the end of the first half, the Knicks led by 21 points with 69:48.

Entering the second half, the Knicks still didn't give the Rockets any chance. Wu Huang cut Ariza's pass as soon as he came up, and a fast break layup widened the gap to the point. Two minutes later, Wu Huang got the ball again. This time he rushed to the basket along the left side. Facing Scola's defense, Wu Huang turned around and dodged the shooting space to throw the ball. The basketball smashed the ball twice on the basket and went straight into the net.

This goal that relies entirely on personal abilities can best hit the morale of the opponent. Houston fans must now miss McGrady in the past few years and Yao Ming in the last season. At that time, these two people could at least ensure that they scored for their team at critical moments, or use their threats to create shooting opportunities for their teammates.

But there is no one in the Rockets who can stand up at a critical moment. Scola, Buk and Ariza are the three Rockets' highest scorers, but once they meet players who are good at defense, they may be restricted, just like today.

The Rockets struggled for half a quarter in the third quarter, but in the 6th minute or 2 second, David Lee's mid-range shot still allowed the gap to 29 points.

This is a score that can hardly be reversed. D'Antoni quickly replaced Wu Huang and Iguodala and began to prepare for the game against the Thunder the day after tomorrow, but still left David Lee on the court just in case.

After the first three quarters, the Rockets only chased the score difference to 26 points, and the fourth quarter game completely entered garbage time.

In the end, the Knicks beat the Rockets away. Wu Huang scored 16 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals. David Li contributed the highest 24 points, 10 rebounds in the game, and Iguodala also scored 18 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.

After the game, Emperor Wu got a way to quickly recover his physical strength from Yao Ming. The little giant told him that he would feel very tired after playing the game, but if he practiced his strength at this time, he would put some pressure on his body. In fact, he would recover very quickly and would feel much more comfortable the next morning.

Yao Ming also suggested that Wu Huang hire a special personal coach. The team's trainer received the team's salary. No matter how professional they are, they cannot grasp Wu Huang's physical condition anytime and anywhere. They tailor the training plan for him.

Emperor Wu has been playing for more than two months and feels it is necessary to hire a private trainer. Yao Ming recommends Wayne Hall to him. This man was previously McGrady's trainer and was fired by McGrady two years ago.

Wayne Hall is recognized as one of the most outstanding personal trainers in the NBA. His excellence lies in his ability to practice both physically and teach you how to practice skills.

Most of the NBA private trainers' jobs are to teach you how to improve strength and coordination, but Wayne Hall not only knows how to practice strength, but also practices balls and do ball training. McGrady's dribbling, passing, and shooting are all made with Hall. Most trainers can't do this because these trainers in the NBA generally do not have a basketball foundation, and their task is to teach you how to train your body.

After the Knicks played against the Rockets, the whole team flew directly to Oklahoma.

Their next opponent is the Thunder, and there is only one day off in the middle, so they will simply not be New York.

After Wu finished playing against the Rockets, he asked Brandon to help contact two trainers the next day, one was Wayne Hall recommended by Yao Ming, and the other was Tim Grovo, a trainer who was once Michael Jordan. Wu wanted to decide who to hire him after comparing life.

Both of them are called trainers, but Tim Grovo is not like ordinary trainers. He is not just alone like Wayne. Tim Grovo is a team, he is responsible for the main training, and there are many people who are sparring as training teams. There are also nutrition and recovery teams. There are massages, feet pinched, tea served, water delivered, specialized in physical recovery, and research nutritional recipes. Anyway, there are all kinds of things.

Emperor Wu laughed as soon as he heard Brandon's introduction. The two trainers were a little different. There were so many people around Tim Grovo, but in fact, the physical training on both sides was no different from the part of the practice. It was just that Tim Grovo had many people, which may make many people feel that they were at a higher level.

How to choose the two trainers? Wu Huang communicated with them and then he knew what to do.

On the day of the game against the Thunder, Wu Huang personally called Wayne Hall, who was temporarily trained in college after being fired by McGrady.

Wayne Hall has not been a trainer for NBA players in the past two years, because McGrady fired him at the time because of "I can't practice well with you, and I'm always injured." Wayne Hall turned against McGrady because of this, and he retorted: Is this the case when you followed me to practice well? Why didn't you say this when you got the two scoring champions? Now you are always injured but blame me for your head. Can you get this result if you practice well?

The call from Wu Huang surprised Wayne Hall. Since he was fired by McGrady, no stars have come to him for training. His training method has also been attacked by some colleagues. McGrady's fans even think that his training method will overdraw the players' bodies. This is how McGrady was trashed by him.

There are two aspects of Wayne Hall's training method that have been mixed. The first is that he advocates training after the game and continues to stimulate the body, so that they don't have to train anymore the next day, giving the body enough time to recover to prepare for the next game.

The second is that his training emphasizes eating less and doing more exercises less, that is, the content and time of each training should not be too much or too long, but in the limited training time, the intensity of training should be high, and the number of training should be frequent. The same is true for dining. Do not eat three meals a day a day, but six meals a day, but the amount of meals consumed in each meal should not be too much.

Wu Huang asked in detail. Wayne Hall believed that when competitions were frequent, going to the gym to practice strength for half an hour after the game could stimulate physical potential and help restore and strengthen physical fitness. Moreover, there was no need to practice strength the next day.

When the game is not frequent, or during the offseason, the player's training should be divided into groups of special training. Each group of training only practices one content, but the intensity and frequency are very high. After practicing a group, the player immediately performs corresponding ice compresses or ice bath care, which is conducive to the rapid recovery of the body.

Speaking of "ice bath", this is a common post-match recovery method for NBA players. Wu Huang is an ice bath enthusiast. He also specially placed an ice bucket at the homes of Christine and Taylor Swift. The two girls will prepare the things needed for the ice bath in advance. After Wu Huang comes, he can directly treat it, which is conducive to alleviating physical fatigue.

Emperor Wu’s decoration is not as simple as an ice bath in his home, but an “ice sauna”. The limit temperature of this ice sauna can be as low as minus 16 oo degrees, which is lower than the most extreme low temperature detected in Antarctica. Emperor Wu’s treatment temperature is obviously not that low, but it is also quite cold. This low-temperature care helps blood circulation, will bring comfort to the body, stimulates nerve and cellular responses, and is conducive to the body’s rapid recovery.

Of course, not everyone can experience ice sauna. There are certain requirements for physical fitness. Wu Huang's physique is very suitable for this kind of care. His recovery is extremely fast. After an ice bath or ice sauna, his physical recovery will be astonishingly fast. Some minor injuries and pains caused by collisions on the field can be cured quickly through this care.

What NBA players are most afraid of is that this kind of small injury and pain will become serious injuries after accumulating too much, or even a stubborn disease that is difficult to heal.

Emperor Wu’s recovery ability is not only strong in physical strength, but also much faster than ordinary people in terms of recovery from injuries.

Wayne Hall's training method may be really not suitable for ordinary players, but Wu Huang feels very much about his appetite.

The Knicks' trainer dared not train him like this. If Wu Huang was injured on the court because of the high training volume, he could not afford to sell him. So Wu Huang always felt that his training was too popular. Stars should have their training methods. Every star is unique. If he trains in the conventional way, his progress will definitely not be fast enough.

The Knicks' game against the Thunder made Wu Huang more determined to hire a private trainer. The opposite Westbrook entered the NBA only a year earlier than him, but his ability to confrontation was far better than him. He was like a calf on the court. Could this guy's physical talent be better than himself? Anyway, Wu Huang didn't think anyone in this world has a better foundation than him, no matter whether he is a black or a white person.

The Thunder are very strong in the rise this season. The Rockets' record in the early stage of the season is good, but due to their overall strength, their ranking has been declining during this period. On the contrary, the Thunder's ranking is gradually rising. Now they rank eighth in the West. After the Rockets lost to the Knicks in the last game, they have slipped to ninth place.

At the pre-match press conference, when Wu Huang was asked how he planned to deal with Westbrook, he smiled softly: "Apart from rushing around on the court, he won't have anything else. I'm not worried that he will cause trouble for us at all. The real tricky one is Kevin, who is a genius pitcher. I just hope he can't get the basketball and we will win by then."

The words of Emperor Wu reached Westbrook's ears a few minutes later. The latter was obviously dissatisfied with Emperor Wu's words and counterattacked: "Some people don't understand the rules yet, and I will teach him how to speak in the game." (To be continued.)
