Wu Huang only made the first goal in this quarter with 3 minutes left in the third quarter. This was a three-pointer on the top of the arc. Harden's defense was not very active after all. Wu Huang only took action once in this quarter, and his defense became more and more relaxed. This time, the defense did not even raise his hand, and watched Wu Huang score the equalizer goal in the top of the arc.

This is not over yet. If Emperor Wu doesn't take action, he will not be prepared to score one goal once he scores.

Although Harden did not dare to relax again, he was too nervous and was fouled by Emperor Wu.

These two college opponents no longer seem to be on the same level after coming to NBA.

Today he faced Emperor Wu again. Harden was the sixth man. At this time, his position in the team was not even in the top three, which made him feel that they were still players of the same level.

Emperor Wu is now the best boss of the Knicks and the darling of the largest metropolis in the United States.

Sometimes, players' confidence is more important than imagined. Wu Huang doesn't think they are still players of the same level at this moment. He is not even lazy to use trash words to Harden because he feels it is unnecessary to do so, but not everyone is qualified to let him use his sarcastic tongue.

Before the end of the first half, Wu Huang dribbled the ball under his crotch so that Harden lost his center of gravity. Before being passed, Harden staggered back several steps. Finally, he held the floor with his hand and did not fall to the ground, but he was already very embarrassed.

At this time, Emperor Wu had already completed a one-handed buckle, and the entire "Ford Center Arena" no longer had the previous booing!

The commentators who broadcast this game live all found it incredible. Most rookies will be as eager to show themselves like Gallinari when they encounter such a game. But the first-year Wu Huang is just the opposite. He acts like an experienced NBA star, and he is not even nervous at all in the game.

Before Westbrook was expelled, Wu Huang and him stood together and didn't look like a challenger at all. They were more like a veteran who had been fighting in the league for many years. They had long become unlucky. Westbrook, a second-year player, looked like a young man with a newborn calf. He seemed to be eager to challenge Wu Huang's status in the world.

Wu Huang only started offensive mode in the last few minutes of the second quarter, and in a blink of an eye, he increased his personal data to 11 points, 6 rebounds, 13 assists and 3 steals.

The Knicks also led by 2 points with Wu Huang's last dunk at halftime with 54:52.

Many fans saw the numbers displayed on TV and found that Wu Huang actually contributed 10 assists in a single quarter. He broke the Knicks' single quarter assist record and created a new team history!

"Is there 10 assists in a single quarter, but I can't rank in the top three in history?" Many fans were surprised and were surprised. Wu Huang's 10 assists in a single quarter sounded incredible, but not to mention that he was ranked in the top three in history, even the top five could not rank in the top five. The live TV broadcast shows the 9th place in history.

Soon, fans saw Avery Johnson and Nash's 12 assists in a single quarter, as well as John Lucas and Steve Blake's 14 assists in a single quarter, and then they realized that the NBA is really a crouching tiger, Hidden Dragon, and Blake's 14 assists in a single quarter were still obtained last season, but no one has any impression of it.

Wu Huang himself just learned that so many people have created double-digit assists in a single quarter. If the players who tied are calculated separately, he will not be in the top ten in history.

"Shame, I really underestimated these seniors before. Blake is so awesome?" Wu Huang had already fought with Blake. He remembered that this guy was a low-end version of Nash. He also gained the upper hand in the match in that game. He never expected that this guy even set an amazing record of 14 assists in a single quarter?

"Are these guys really playing in the regular season?" Wu Huang often hears a remark that many people think that ordinary NBA players will not be able to fight for their lives in the regular season, but they will explode in the playoffs, narrowing the gap in strength with star players.

Wu Huang still doesn't believe this statement very much. A relatively reasonable explanation should be that these players dare not play their best in the regular season because they have a gap with the stars in terms of talent. If they use too much force, they may be injured because they can't hold it.

So they did not hide their strength, but did not dare to use their full strength.

But on the other hand, are the stars going all out in the regular season? The answer is of course "no"!

Emperor Wu didn't know what others were doing. Anyway, he used at most 80% of his strength in the game. Only in this way could he be free to restrain himself.

In fact, everyone has the same truth. Whether it is a star or an ordinary player, he can't stop it if he uses all his strength, and once he can't stop it, he will easily get hurt.

In the regular season, 90% of the players only put in seven or eight points of strength to compete with each other. Only Westbrook, who is not afraid of death and whose physical talent is different from ordinary people, will use all his strength, and he will not fail to play like this all year round.

But if it is time to die in the playoffs, Wu Huang will also put all his strength to play in the game. He can also play Westbrook's style, but most of the time it is not necessary. He has many easier scoring methods, so why bother to confront others head-on?

Emperor Wu's outstanding performance in the first half made him more prestige in the team. Whenever he was as calm as he was today, instead of looking a little naughty, the Knicks players would feel a sense of fear of him. At this time, they would rather call Emperor Wu the captain instead of his name.

After Larry Hughes was traded, Wu Huang naturally took over the position of captain. He is now the youngest captain among the 30 teams in the league.

"After Westbrook left the court, the Thunder's offensive firepower had dropped greatly. In the second half, we used double-team defense, forcing Durant to use difficult shooting. If we still couldn't defend, we changed our tactics in five minutes and prevented him from easily receiving the ball, and instead let other Thunder players attack."

D'Antoni's arrangement this time is a chain of tricks. If double-teams can limit Durant, it doesn't matter. But if double-teams can't be prevented, then cut off his passing route and test whether other Thunder players can stand up and throw the ball in?

Take a step back and if other Thunder players are really good and can still throw the ball in, then this game can only depend on which side has stronger scoring ability.

This is how basketball games are. Even if you can calculate all the details, it may not be able to achieve the expected results in the end. Because there are too many factors that can determine the outcome of the game. What the coach needs to do is to formulate a response plan for all the problems he can think of, and then leave it to the players to execute. See how the execution of his own players can reach.

The Knicks player re-played with instructions from both offense and defense, and gave the Thunder a 7:2 victory as soon as the third quarter came!

Iguodala made consecutive counterattack jump shots. He scored 7 points alone, leading the Knicks 61:54 to lead by as many as 7 points.

At this time, the Thunder gradually woke up, Durant broke through and made a layup and scored 2 points, and the defensive end forced the Knicks to make a 24-second violation.

But Durant's shooting encountered trouble in the second half, and he could no longer easily get rid of the Knicks' defense because the players who assisted him were replaced by Gallinari to Wu Huang and Fry.

After Westbrook got out, Wu Huang was able to take out his positioning to support Iguodala in the face of Eric Meno and Harden. It would not be so easy for Durant to use positioning cover to get rid of defense.

In the third quarter, 9 minutes and 26 seconds. Wu Huang directly cut off Meno's pass to Durant. The Knicks made a three-line fast break. After receiving the ball, Garlinari dunked with both hands, and the score difference was widened to 9 points.

Durant made another weak side's offensive end to perform a no-ball cut, but after going around this time, he was entangled by Fry, and there was no chance to catch the ball and shoot.

After Iguodala replaced defense, he saw that Meno was stopped at the top of the arc for too long, so he immediately let go of Jeff Green and rushed forward to double-team Meno with Emperor Wu.

Meno was unable to move forward and retreat when he faced the sudden double-team, so he hurriedly threw the basketball to Jeff Green on the weak side, but was interrupted by David Lee.

Relying on the players' personal abilities, the Knicks finally played a wonderful rotation defense, and such a change of defense is rarely seen in them.

After receiving the ball, Wu Huang and Iguodala made two-for-two fast breaks. The two passed the ball continuously while they were marching and shook the defense. Iguodala easily wiped Durant's layup, and the difference turned into 11 points in a blink of an eye.

Brooks quickly requested a timeout. The Knicks intercepted the ball and counterattacked twice in a row. Now they have shown momentum. If they don’t call it a timeout, I don’t know how many points they will be pulled away in one breath.

The Knicks' fast break was rare this time, and they successfully intercepted the ball against Durant twice in a row.

Emperor Wu and Iguodala did not defend completely according to D'Antoni's arrangement. The tactics need to be adapted to the situation on the field. Anyway, as long as it is targeted at Durant.

Westbrook's role is reflected at this time. Without his restraint, Emperor Wu dared to double-team Durant. Even if he didn't double-team, the Knicks' inside line did not need to worry about Westbrook's breakthrough. He could also pull out to participate in double-team.

When Westbrook was present in the first quarter, Channing Fry and David Lee had to pay attention to assisting Wu Huang to make up for the leaks, so they could no longer take into account Durant who was assisting in the outside line. This task could only be left to Gallinari, but they allowed Durant to score 26 points in the first half.

Once Westbrook's threat is removed, Fry and David Lee only need to pay attention to Jeff Green on both wings. They can help Iguodala assist in defense of Durant, and Wu Huang can also see the opportunity to double-team. At this time, Durant has to face the siege of the Knicks. No matter where he runs, he will face the threat of being double-teamed by multiple players, so naturally it is difficult to get another shot opportunity.

Wu Huang's double-team not only went for Durant, but he was also looking for an opportunity to intercept the ball passed to Durant. As long as it was the direction he was responsible for, the Thunder would not even think of passing the basketball over.

The Knicks' double-teaming made the Thunder unable to think of a way to crack it for a while, which is completely a reflection of the players' personal abilities.

Both double-teams and assisted defense, the effects produced by Wu Huang and Garlinari are completely incomparable. Durant can handle the latter by himself, but Durant can't use his own running position to create a chance to catch the ball. The Chinese defensive position is really uncomfortable. He can stand on the route Durant wants to catch the ball every time.

"There is no show now? Running without a ball is also my specialty. If you want to avoid my assistant defense, unless you can fly!" Wu Huang looked at Durant with an anxious look and thought to himself.

After the game started again, Wu Huang and Iguodala once again got involved in Durant. At the same time, he did not completely let go of his defender Meno. His teammates helped him block the Thunder players' route to Meno. The passes this guy could receive must be high-altitude lobs or long-distance passes, which was enough for Wu Huang to return to his defensive position.

Charles Barkley smiled and said, "It's interesting, I finally saw the Knicks' collective defense. Now each of them can defend their opponents in their position, and at the same time they can win time for their teammates to return to the right defensive position. This kind of defense is like playing a balance ball game. They are constantly moving and adjusting their positions with the basketball, with the goal of not letting it roll into their own basket.

Kenny Smith said directly: "Your words can describe joint defense in two words!"

The Knicks' joint defense is somewhat different from other teams. Their joint defense is aimed at the outside line, and the inside line is basically in a state of being released. This is the response plan they have not adopted by a strong inside line. They will not wait until the opponent passes the basketball into the basket before siegeing, but will not pass you to the basket through the oppression of the basketball.

The advantage of this defense is that it is highly aggressive against outside players and is often very effective against teams that do not have strong inside players, such as the current Thunder. But if you have Howard and Sir, it is easy to have problems with sports inside players, and they only need an aerial relay to solve the problem.

Ibaka of the Thunder team has good running and jumping skills, but unfortunately Meno's passing skills are not enough, especially under Wu Huang's defense, it is difficult for him to pass the aerial relay for Espanyol.

To be honest, what the Knicks really need now is not Serge or Bosh. They no longer lack offensive firepower points. What they really lack is a defensive inside line with dominance, such as Howard, Chandler or Garnett...

Such inside players can immediately make up for the Knicks' last shortcomings, and Wu Huang can also add a partner to perform pick-and-roll offense. As for offensive firepower, they don't need to worry at all. Knicks with Wu Huang, Garlinari, David Lee and Harrington will not encounter trouble on the offensive end. If there is one more Sir or Bosh, they will have a bit of firepower overflow, which is not a good thing.

After the game started again, the Thunder replaced Harden and temporarily acted as point guard, but Durant still couldn't get a chance to make a phone call. In the end, he forced a shot and almost made a counterattack by the Knicks again.

"This is a key attack!" Seeing that there was no chance of a quick attack and sneak attack, Emperor Wu immediately stopped at the top of the arc and reorganized it.
Chapter completed!
