Josh Smith's performance was not over yet. The Knicks served quickly and wanted to steal one. Wu Huang rushed to the frontcourt and wanted to score a three-pointer. But he didn't expect that Josh Smith rushed back so quickly. He flew from the air like an eagle hunting. Wu Huang could only pass the ball to his teammates, but was robbed by Joe Johnson from the lieutenant. The Eagles made another quick counterattack to widen the gap.

The Knicks were beaten to death at this time, and at the critical moment they did not withstand the stalemate. Two minutes later, the Knicks not only did not narrow the score, but Joe Johnson assisted his teammates again to score, the score became 114:103, and the Knicks was out of reach.

Emperor Wu still did not give up. In the last two minutes, he scored three-pointers and made two consecutive three-pointers. Although he scared the Hawks, he finally missed the most critical third 3-pointer. The Knicks finally lost another game with 111:116, and the total score has become 0:2.

Kenny Smith commented after the game: "In this game, Josh Smith's performance was so eye-catching. He guaranteed rebounds well on the defensive end and was able to give opponents big hats. He scored points on the offensive end and was proficient in assists. He almost defeated the entire Knicks team with one person's strength."

Charles Barkley also said: "If you keep an eye on Josh Smith's performance all season, you'll even be surprised at the progress he's made this season. Last season, Josh Smith averaged 15.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.6 blocks per game. But this season, his data has soared to 15.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.6 steals and 2.1 blocks per game. All five statistics have been improved to varying degrees, which has shown Josh Smith's efforts."

"I still remember when the regular season started this season, Josh boldly said that he would play at the All-Star level this season, but at that time, not many people were interested in his remarks. Some fans even thought it was just his whimsical idea. But after the regular season started, Josh conquered everyone with his outstanding performance."

"In addition to Josh Joe Johnson's performance, he deserves praise from Atlanta fans after the game, especially he has played the key Mr. Hawks repeatedly, with his 28 points and 7 assists being the highest stats in the team today."

The Phillips Arena has become a celebration time for home team fans at this moment. Larry Drew, who won the ball, was very energetic and interviewed on the sidelines: "We did better than the regular season. I have higher requirements for players' games, and our defensive quality has also improved a lot, just like today."

At this moment, Emperor Wu kept swearing in his heart, but he wanted to go up one by one to comfort his teammates, especially a few guys who performed poorly in the game. Now he has become a true portrayal of "the baby is sad, but the baby doesn't say it." However, since he wants to be the boss of the team, he has to knock his teeth and swallow it in his stomach at this time, otherwise the leader will be regarded as a failure.

At the post-match press conference, head coach D'Antoni specially took out Wu Huang's personal data to try to restore confidence: "I think at this time, everyone will only remember the data of the winners. No one noticed that Hugo scored a more amazing data table. In this game, he scored 40 points, 12 rebounds, 12 assists, 3 steals and 1 blocks, with a large triple-double performance, with 10 of 19 shots, 4 of 7 three-pointers and 16 of 18 free throws."

After hearing this, Wu Huang felt even more depressed. He really felt that the Knicks could win this game today, but at the critical moment they made some mistakes that they shouldn't have made, and he himself did not seize several opportunities. But no matter how frustrated he was, he could not show it from his face, and could only force himself and his teammates to cheer: "I know the situation is not good now, but why can't we think we can complete the reversal? Why can't we shake the whole world? 0:2 is indeed a very bad situation, but many teams in history have turned the tables after 0:2. So nothing is impossible. Since they can beat us 2:0, we will definitely play back, and we will definitely have a chance to go back to the home court."

Of course, the reporters think he is stubborn. Youngness is the biggest feature of this Knicks who returns to the playoffs. Currently, the average starting age for the team is only 22 years old, while the Hawks are the 25-year-old players who can achieve the best results. But this means that in terms of playoff experience, both sides cannot be compared.

Iguodala is the Knicks with the most experience in the playoffs, but she has only played twice. One of them is the supporting role. On the other hand, the five players of the Hawks have all played in the semi-finals of the playoffs, which will give them the advantage at critical moments.

The Knicks did not persist in the second game in the final quarter, which was caused by their lack of playoff experience. At this time of the game, many Knicks players did not know what they should do to be the most correct choice at the time, but the Hawks players' choices were much clearer, and they knew very well what they should do at this critical point.

Young and fearless will make the Knicks players more and more relaxed on the court, but in the playoffs, it is not who can be more relaxed, but who makes fewer mistakes. Young players often do not adjust their mentality after making mistakes. The Hawks have an absolute advantage in this regard.

The next day, Yahoo Sports reported: The Knicks and the Hawks played 0:2, and the New York recruits swallowed duck eggs in Atlanta. They are now less than 10% chance of advancing (in NBA history, the probability of a 0:2 turnover is less than 10%).

The advantages of the Eagles' Big Three were fully revealed in yesterday's game. A key figure would come forward to help the team in every quarter, and the only star that the Knicks could do was Hugo. But even if he could get a 40-point big triple-double in the game, he could not help the team fill the huge strength gap between the two teams.

The New York center was restricted again last night. The inside line who can average 15+9 per game and can only average 9 points and 8 rebounds in the game against the Hawks. His role is greatly limited. Facing Horford, who can match Garnett and Howard, it is hard for David Lee to believe that he is a star who can earn an annual salary of tens of millions.

Another gap is that in terms of bench players' scoring, the Knicks' bench, which performed well in the regular season, disappeared in the playoffs, and they seemed to have no real depth of bench. Although the Eagles couldn't say that this was great, the bench lineup was originally one of the Knicks' advantages. Without this advantage, their probability of advancing would have to be reduced a lot.

The results of these two games also prove that only rookie Hugo can really cause trouble for the Hawks. Perhaps Iguodala can also pose some threat to the Hawks. But his most important task is to defend Joe Johnson, but he did not complete this task well. Joe Johnson scored 20+ in both games.

Now the New York Emperor and Knicks fans are looking forward to their team rebounding strongly at home. Perhaps they should expect that the Hawks who have lost Bibi will encounter big trouble. At the same time, Hugo must ensure that he can get 40+ in every game. In this way, the Knicks may still have a chance, otherwise he may not be able to change the team's fate of being swept.

The New York Times naturally also focused on the only personal data that can show off. Perhaps many fans do not have a very clear concept of data such as 40 points, 12 rebounds, 12 assists and 3 steals. So we can see how great this feat of Wu Huang is from the comparison of historical data.

In the Knicks' playoff history, no one has been able to score, rebound, and assist with 40+12+12+3. Even Bernard King and Ewing, who were in the forefront of that year, have never reached this level.

Looking at the entire Knicks' playoff history, even if they can get 20+8+10 data in a single game, this is Mark Jackson. With a magical performance like Hugo, the Knicks' playoffs have not yet gone far.

New York fans did not lose confidence because they fell behind 0:2. Although such a start was extremely unfavorable for them, the Eagles were not in trouble. Their biggest trouble was that the team's point guard had confirmed the season's reimbursement. After the game, the diagnosis of local hospitals in Atlanta was released. Bibby had a severe sprain in his left ankle and he had to rest for at least three to four months.

This is no better news for the Knicks. They already have the advantage in the number one position, and now this advantage is getting bigger and it is almost up to heaven. Perhaps the premise of "Yahoo Sports" ridiculed "If the Knicks want to win, Wu must win 40 per game" can really become a reality. Wu has the ability to do this in the face of Jeff Teague and Crawford.

After losing to the Hawks, the Knicks rushed back to New York early the next morning. They could get nearly two days of rest, and both the players and coaching staff could take this opportunity to make some adjustments.

When the player got off the plane, Wu Huang found that hundreds of New York fans came to greet him, which made him feel relieved. He originally thought that two consecutive losses would disappoint New York fans, but now it seems that the psychological endurance of New York fans is much better than he expected.

This is actually nonsense. The ability of New York fans to bear more than just good. The team that has been ruined has been trained to be covered in bronze and iron. Even if the Knicks are really swept, they probably won’t be able to think about it. Just imagine, the team has been ruined for so many years and has now entered the playoffs in the first season of the team’s reconstruction. Is it considered success to really make it to the second round?

The Knicks players saw hundreds of loyal New York fans holding up their slogans in their hands and shouting at the entrance: "Defend the Eagles! Defeat the Eagles! They really need such encouragement and support now, which is their biggest goal in the playoffs. In the first round, they encountered a step a year and had completely rebuilt the mature Eagles. The Knicks players must muster up the courage to fight.

Emperor Wu accepted a brief interview with the New York Times at the entrance, and said: "I just want to say, come on! Brothers! Everything depends on ourselves. People say that the Eagles are stronger than us, but I believe we can win! If you are afraid, then go and lead a dog and pray. Since God has given us such a talent, we must make sure we do something, and we must make good use of it!"

The Knicks player only slept for three or four hours last night, and now he had to go home and have another sleep. Except for Emperor Wu, he slept on the plane for another two hours, and was no longer sleepy when he got off the plane, so he went straight to Taylor Swift's apartment, pulled out his 28 and vented it.

He had been staying in Taylor Swift's apartment until the afternoon. The trouble of his excessive recovery made him unable to help but sneak into another girl's house. It was another three hundred rounds of battle, so he left for the team to report.

The Knicks did not conduct ball training today. The players watched yesterday's game video. They had to use the video to analyze and find the problems the team encountered in the second game.

In fact, the coaching staff has already done this work. Since the Knicks' coaches officially started the playoffs, they have basically only had three or four hours of rest a day, and they are all covered in blood. In terms of hard work, they are no worse than the players at all.

But no matter how hard he works, D'Antoni really has no good idea of ​​how to defeat the Hawks, because some things are not something that he, a coach, and players cannot learn by teaching both sides. He cannot tell the players how to play at every key point of the game. These must be learned through the lessons of failure, and this learning period is the most difficult process.

In addition to being good at small ball tactics and training point guards, Xiao Wang is also good at mobilizing the enthusiasm of the entire team and exerting the abilities of every player who matches his tactical system. In his eyes, David Lee should be a player who can compete with Horford. Now the Knicks' biggest problem is that they cannot defend Josh Smith and Horford. He does not require that both problems be solved. As long as they can solve one of them casually, or even simply allow David Lee to play his offensive threat in the game, the Knicks will perform much better than the previous two games.

As the saying goes, it rained all night long. After watching the game video, gossip media broke the news that night: David Lee seemed to have broken up with his Polish girlfriend, or was he dumped?

Of course, this is not the focus of the report. Who cares about David Lee and his girlfriend?

What attracts attention in this revelation is that this matter seems to have something to do with Emperor Wu!!

The gossip magazine revealed that it was said that Sabina Gadge's best friend provided the revelation that David Lee's girlfriend seemed to have an affair with the Emperor of New York, and this is the real reason why David Lee's poor performance in the playoffs. This is a stolen wife from another who was enough to detonate the sports world and shock the world!!

"Damn it, isn't this ruining me?" Emperor Wu received countless calls that night. Just now, when the whole team was watching the video together, everyone turned off their phones. When he got home and turned on his phone, he found that Taylor Swift was almost blew his phone!
