This summer, the Bulls cleared the Hinrich, who overlapped with Derek Ross and had similar functions. Ross finally got the opportunity to completely command the team's backcourt. It has always been of great significance for a rising point guard's hope star to completely dominate a team. See Chris Paul and Deron Williams' history of success. It can be predicted that this will be a season in which Ross' state will explode. If he dares to refuse LeBron James to join this summer, Ross is ready to lead the Bulls to have a big fight.

Last season, Ross' performance was like a roller coaster ride, which made people worry whether this rare genius point guard would also go through the "wall-hitting period". Unexpectedly, at the end of the season, Ross not only recovered, but also developed a defensive skill, which was impressive. Last season, Ross averaged 20.8 points and 6 assists per game, and the average shooting and shooting percentage were improved, and the leader's momentum became more and more obvious. In addition, similar to his predecessor Hinrich, Ross also attacked wildly while taking into account the defense and achieved good results.

American media have always liked to compare Rose and Westbrook with Wu Huang, but what makes them regret is that Wu Huang's data and team record are obviously much higher than these two people. This summer, Wu Huang declined the invitation from the Dream Team, which once caused dissatisfaction among many American fans. His hard practice in the summer is not a secret, but for the sake of his own selfish interests, this is a proof of the traitor in the eyes of many American fans. Wu Huang's few American male fans have been much less after this incident of refusing to fight for the country.

Coach K really wants to recruit Wu Huang to join the team and entrust with a great responsibility. Wu Huang’s technical style is more suitable for the national arena than Ross and Westbrook, but he can’t find the best one. This time, the Dream Team can only settle for the second best. After recruiting veteran Billups, the young Ross, Westbrook and Curry were introduced, which is preparing for the future.

Ross followed the US men's basketball team to participate in the Turkey World Championships. This time, as the main point guard of the Dream Team, Ross' performance was very eye-catching, and Westbrook also played his own style at the World Championships. Therefore, after the US team won the championship, the American media unanimously agreed that Wu Huang's advantage over these two people, especially after the Bulls this summer, Ross has the strength to defeat Wu Huang.

"It's good that you're happy. I'm really awesome, so don't have too high expectations for me. I may not get double-digit scores at any time." Wu Huang disdained this argument at the pre-match press conference. He has always been annoyed by the American media and disgusted him if he has nothing to do.

Are Ross and Westbrook strong? Wu Huang never thinks so. Each of these two men did not score double digits in at least ten games last season, but this has never happened in his entire career. Those two people are one or two years older than him, and they entered the NBA one year earlier. However, whenever the media has the opportunity, they will seize his average performance game to make a big fuss.

Many Chinese fans always hold on to Wu Huang. In the second round of the playoffs last season, Wu Huang's personal data was a bit reduced compared to the first round, but even so, he was better than Westbrook's first round data. As a result, the whole United States was gloating at him and mocking him for his poor performance... Even Wu Huang almost thought that he was really a superstar like James and Kobe. If he didn't get 20+5+5, he would be criticized for his face.

In this game, the American media hope to see Ross lead the Bulls to beat the Knicks. Carlos Boozer is not as famous as Sir, but he may not lose to the opponent in actual combat. Boozer has been able to guarantee 20+10 in the playoffs in recent years, and his defense is a little better than Sir.

The Knicks are basically at home today, and Hong Kong fans also regard the Knicks as the home team. Even though the Bulls were the favorite team of Hong Kong people back then, because Wu Huang's grandfather has been in Hong Kong for a long time, they even feel that Wu Huang's relationship with Hong Kong is closer.

This is purely their wishful thinking, but it is a good thing for the Knicks to get home treatment today. Wu Huang believes that it should be no problem for his team to kill the Bulls. There is no reason why this team will be able to fight with them if one more Boozer is added.

But he missed a person. The Bulls won not only Boozer this summer, but also a coach who is more important to a team.

Thibodeau brought his defensive system to the Bulls, and the Bulls happened to get Boozer, Brewer and Korver who had been trained by Sloan this summer. At the same time, the defense of Rollden and Gibson was greatly underestimated. In addition, Rose and Noah, whose defensive ability has improved greatly, the Bulls' overall strength is completely incomparable to last season.

D'Antoni was obviously not prepared enough. The Knicks seemed to have completed their shortcomings this summer, but their real flaw was inside defense, which has not been greatly improved. They just made their inside offensive ability stronger. This is D'Antoni's philosophy. Offense is always more important than defense.

Knicks's today: Wu Huang, Tony Allen, Iguodala, Garlinari, Stadmeier.

D'Antoni was not just thinking about it. He really sent out such a lineup that was attacking and undefensive in the inside. In this way, the result was imagined that the Knicks' inside became an unmanned zone on the defensive end, and S was extremely passive in Noah's mad dog-style assisted defense on the offensive end. The Knicks were beaten 8:0 as soon as they got started.

Thibodeau took the team seriously in the preseason, which caught the Knicks off guard, especially the Bulls' defense against Sir S was very successful. As long as he received the basketball at mid-range, Noah would double-team as much as possible when he started. Sir Sir would pass the ball whenever he received the ball, but as long as he controlled the ball, 99.9% would not pass it again. This is his playing habit that cannot be improved. The Bulls took advantage of this habit, and players on both wings double-team him at any time.

In the first half of the first quarter, Wu Huang became dark again. When he saw the Bulls, he was clearly prepared and passed the ball to Si as soon as he had the chance. It seemed to allow Si to break the Bulls' defense and find confidence. However, Si scored a 0-for-4 shot at the beginning, which completely fell into the defensive trap prepared by the Bulls for him.

This situation was not until D'Antoni could no longer bear it and asked for a timeout that Wu Huang began to change to the outside line according to the coach's arrangement.

Emperor Wu was too bad. In the past, he liked to make his own decisions the most. He often gave orders to his teammates without D'Antoni's orders, but this time his reaction was much slower. However, this kind of thing was very secretive, and even DeAntoni just felt strange. It was impossible to think that Emperor Wu was playing with such scheming.

Thibodeau had no choice. His defensive system requires a lot of practical drills to improve the execution and tacit understanding of the whole team. Moreover, the more outstanding the opponent has, the more he can train their defense. An offensive strong team like the Knicks is the best whetstone for the Bulls. He wishes that the New Yorkers will release all their firepower today to test the results of their training for more than a month.

The Knicks' substitute strength has improved significantly compared to last season. The second tier: Alstom, Tony Allen, Danny Green, Ronnie Turiaf, and Greg Monroe. These five are currently the team's main rotation lineup, with more defense and certain attack power. Even compared with the weak team, they are not without the power of a battle. If one or two main players are added, they will be almost the same as some of the bottom teams.

Seeing his team's substitute lineup lost a full 10 points in the half-quarter game, Thibodeau could only sigh that there is still a lot of way to go to shape a strong team. However, the solution to the rotation lineup is not as good as the opponent. Increase the playing time of the main players is the best way, but this is not necessary in the preseason.

Wu Huang and Xiao Si were replaced in the middle of the second quarter, and the team had already surpassed 3 points, but Monroe was silent again under Asik's defense. The Knicks' No. 6 pick in the preseason did not meet people's expectations. He could not play Hayes when he was against the Rockets. Now he can't handle the unknown Asik. It seems a bit miserable!

After the Knicks re-appeared, Wu Huang consciously strengthened his cooperation with Xiao Si, but under the defense of the Bulls, the two made many mistakes.

In fact, such a game is also good for the Knicks. In the last game, they complained that their opponents were too weak and could not be effective in training. Now they meet the Bulls with strong defense, which can just allow them to hone their offense.

In the first game against the Rockets, Yao Ming moved too slowly, Hayes was too short, and Hill had too little experience, so Wu Huang and Xiao Si played well. Today, they encountered the Bulls' excellent inside defense, and the shortcomings of the two tacit understanding were exposed, especially Xiao Si's lack of ability to respond after breaking through with the ball was a thorny problem.

However, everything has two sides. The Bulls also found that they often get into foul trouble when facing pick-and-rolls by Sir and Wu Huang. As long as these two people do not make mistakes in passing, even if they successfully double-team Stoudemire, it will be difficult for them to block the opponent's layup in the end.

After receiving the ball, Si's killing power in the penalty area is too strong, and he can jump and hit the basket in the face of double defense, causing a foul by the defensive player.

Emperor Wu is even more difficult to deal with. If he is not careful, he may be deceived by his pass fake move. This guy is not like Xiao Si. As long as he is given enough space, he has many choices and is almost unable to defend. However, if two people have to defend him, Xiao Si can no longer control it, and the outside line will also be exposed.

In the first half, the two teams finally reached 45:46. The Knicks seemed to have the advantage in the scene, but Wu Huang and Xiao Si made too many mistakes in cooperation, and they lag behind the Bulls in terms of scores.

The Knicks made a total of 13 mistakes in the first half, and the number of mistakes was obviously too high. The Bulls only made 2 of 9 three-pointers, not many three-pointers, and did not have any shooting percentage. Both teams found some of their respective problems.

In the second half, the Bulls raised Korver, which was a way for Thibodeau to solve the lack of three-point shooting percentage on the outside, but the effect was not good. Although Korver's defense was honed by the Jazz, it was still not considered as excellent in defense. At most, he learned to use his height to defend, but lateral movements and foot movements were not enough to defend Iguodala and Garlinari.

D'Antoni gave up the inside combination of Gallinari + Sir. Such inside defense was so bad that he couldn't stand it. This naive idea had been completely abandoned by him.

The Knicks replaced another lineup in the second half: Wu Huang, Iguodala, Garinari, Ronnie Turiaf, and Stoudemire.

D'Antoni felt that although his team had many inside lines, they all had great flaws. O'Neal was too old, Monroe was too young, Evans was too short, Turiav and Collins were too mediocre, and almost none of them could satisfy him.

Ronnie Turiaf is a very active player, but his talent is really limited. His height is about 205m and his athletic ability can only be described as mediocre. His wingspan is not good, and his strength is good, but the price he paid is that his movement speed has slowed down.

Carlos beat Turiav as soon as he started the second half. The physical fitness of the anti-bone boy was almost better than Turiav in terms of technology, and he didn't know how much stronger he was. If the Knicks didn't double-team, Boozer could score forty on Turiav alone.

D'Antoni quickly replaced Turiav and replaced him with Corinth, who had a good defense against Howard. The Knicks signed him to deal with Warcraft. However, Corinth may be able to resist Howard, but he was not very smart when facing other inside players. Sir did not defend Boozer, and the result was that Corinth was still beaten by the anti-bone boy!

Wu Huang started to play a one-on-one fight with Ross in the second half. Last season, the league's defensive evaluation of Ross was: slow lateral movement, inaccurate defensive judgment and timing, easy to take fake moves and be fouled, and his ability to prevent pick-and-roll is particularly poor!

Ross shouldn't be idle this summer, and his defense looked much better, but after the first half, Emperor Wu found that this guy was good at chasing the defense for the second time, but he was still not excellent in other aspects, at most the average level in the league.

The Bulls did not double-team against Wu Huang today. They usually asked Ross to defend alone. Wu Huang also knew that a star like Ross would definitely not be able to hold his face down. In the regular season, he asked his teammates to help him double-team against the players. The stars and stars are generally one-on-one, and of course, there may be exceptions in the playoffs.

Ross soon found it difficult to judge whether Emperor Wu’s moves were true or not. As long as his center of gravity was slightly unstable, Emperor Wu could easily throw him away from his first step. Ross could feel that the breakthrough speed of this Chinese man was almost the same as his own. He was not so fast last season!

Wu Huang played eight minutes in the third quarter, scored 10 points in a single quarter, and his game data increased to 18 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, and 6 of 11 shots, leading Ross in both personal data and shooting percentage.

Ross' mentality has become unstable since this session. Although he is a steady player, he is also competitive. Today, he has similar playing time to Wu Huang, but he only scored 12 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. His shooting percentage is only 5 of 13 shots. He is not as good as Wu Huang, which makes it difficult for Ross to remain calm all the time.

The Bulls performed well today, and Thibodeau was also very satisfied with his player's performance in the first three quarters, but he did not expect that there would be problems with Ross in the last quarter.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, Wu Huang and Ross played almost at the same time. The Bulls were 2 points behind at this time. Wu Huang swung past Ross with fake moves as soon as he came up and easily made a jump shot from the middle distance, which made the Bulls' core more and more restless.

Ross naturally wanted to fight back on the offensive end, but Wu Huang's defensive ability was obviously higher than that of him. Ross was used to using his explosive power to break through. Facing Wu Huang, whose athletic ability was not inferior to himself, such a breakthrough would easily fall into a front-and-back attack.

Wu Huang continued to use his teammates' assisted defense to defend Ross, which may allow the opponent to score a wonderful goal in a certain round, but the offensive efficiency will definitely decrease. No matter how exciting the goal is, it cannot score 4 points.

Thibodeau encountered the most headache for all NBA coaches at this time, that is, the core players are determined to fight against their opponents, but they can't.

Although Ross' personal data has increased rapidly under continuous singles, the Knicks' lead is also increasing. At the same time, Wu Huang's personal data has not been on the spot. In the one-on-one challenge between the two, Wu Huang still has the advantage.

In the fourth quarter, 2 minutes and 15 seconds, the score was 88:79, and the Knicks unknowingly led by 9 points.

Ross' brain congestion continued. At this time, he could not calm down suddenly. On the contrary, the more unfavorable the situation was for him, the hotter his head would be. Unless the coach replaced him, Thibodeau could not do this. When Ross was replaced at this time, it would be easy to have more serious incidents of discord between the generals and the coaches.

"I didn't lose, I could turn the defeat into victory." At this time, Ross would definitely think so in his head. Once Thibodeau replaced him, Ross would throw the responsibility of losing the game and fighting on the coach. He would not think he was worse than Emperor Wu.

Emperor Wu was naturally awake at this time. When Xiao Si received his pass and used a double-handed slam dunk to pull the difference to 11 points, the game completely lost suspense.

Ross' performance in the second half disappointed American reporters. This battle not only did not make Emperor Wu lose face, but instead made him even more glorious.

In the last quarter, in the head-on match, Wu Huang defeated Ross with an overwhelming advantage. Unlike Ross, he still relied on his physical talent. As soon as Wu Huang entered the league, he perfectly integrated his athletic ability and skills, especially on his defensive end, he was obviously better than Ross.

The final score was 96:86. Although the Knicks scored only 100 points, they still won the fierce preseason game.

Wu Huang played 28 minutes today, scoring 25 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists, making 9 of 15 shots, and 4 of 7 three-pointers.

Ross played for 29 minutes, scoring 22 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, making 6 of 18 shots and 2 of 6 three-pointers.
