Chapter 262 Inadvertently inserting willows

After the Knicks lost two consecutive games, they naturally received some criticism from the media. However, considering that the Lakers and the Heat have both 2 wins and 2 losses, the Knicks have not received much firepower from the media yet. The most popular ones this season are the West Lakers and the East Heat. Both teams played slowly after the start of the game, which is also a common problem for champion teams in history.

A champion team must first meet the prerequisites for strong hardware strength. Strong strength means that there are many offensive firepower points, and the core of both internal and external lines is the basic premise. Sometimes the three cores and even more cores are possible. This will inevitably encounter some troubles about the right to take action and tacit understanding in the early stage of team formation. It will take some time to solve these problems. During this period, some people's right to take action will be reduced and some people's right to take action will be increased. This process is usually not too short. It takes a certain amount of time for players to find a new position that suits them. If they really can't find a satisfactory position, then trading is the only feasible way.

Teams like the Big Three Heat actually have hidden events for the team's core in the first half of the regular season. Wade and James held more balls in one of the first four games and fewer balls in the other. Obviously, they were also in a secret competition. First, they decided who the boss is today, and then they would see who would be the boss. It would take at least half a season to see that these periods are all part of the Heat's running-in period.

On November 5, the Knicks returned to home against the Washington Wizards. Wu Huang had to face the new No. 1 pick of this season, John Wall, which is the biggest highlight of this game. There is actually no suspense about the outcome of the two teams. The Wizards wanted to defeat the Knicks away at the beginning of their reconstruction, which was a bit too whimsical.

However, this game, which was considered a huge difference in strength and weakness, was not decided until the last 6 seconds of the game. The Knicks shouted "MVP" at home, but this praise was not given to Wu Huang or Stoudemire, but to rookie Monroe. He received a pass from Wu Huang to make a key mid-range shot from the free throw line, helping the team secure the victory.

In the first home game of the 2010-2011 season, the Knicks won it not easy. The Wizards today fought against the Knicks' internal and external core. Finally, relying on Monroe's outstanding performance, they defeated the Washington Wizards 116:111 at home, giving their opponent two consecutive losses.

Rookie Monroe scored the third-highest 20 points and had 9 rebounds and 2 assists, with 10 of them coming from the final quarter. His three consecutive jump shots killed the hope of the Washington Wizards' turnaround.

After winning the game, Emperor Wu stepped forward to knock on Monroe's chest and celebrated with his teammates, and Sir also came over to hug him. This was only the fourth game of Monroe's career. In the draft, he entered the league with the 6th pick in the first round and became the main substitute for the Knicks center.

"You will be proud of such moments and grow up from them." Monroe could not hide his excitement after the game.

In terms of the internal and external core aspects of the Knicks, Wu Huang scored 30 points, 5 rebounds and 10 assists, Stoudemier scored 25 points and 11 rebounds, and Iguodala and Garlinari also scored 18 points and 14 points. However, Monroe still stole the edge of Wu Huang and Stoudemier.

Emperor Wu disagreed and said, "No matter who is on the court, we will have full confidence. He hit those shots and played a good game, which gave him enough confidence."

Wizards coach Philip Sanders also praised the opponent's rookie, "He is very insightful and the New Yorker picked up a big baby."

Knicks coach D'Antoni praised his disciples even more: "Although it only takes one week, he has won the respect of his teammates. He is very pure and devoted himself to the team. When his teammates are in open positions, he can feed the ball to them and he can hit the open shot himself, which will of course be very popular."

Compared with Monroe, the Wizards' No. 1 pick is depressed today. This is the first time that Wu Huang has played against this legendary point guard with a better physical talent than Ross. In fact, this guy is indeed worthy of such praise. Although his physical fitness has not reached the level of Ross and Westbrook in the first season, his explosiveness, speed and ability to fight are no less than Wu Huang in last year. After one or two seasons, he should surpass Ross and Westbrook in many physical conditions. Moreover, his height is similar to that of Wu Huang, and he is higher than both of those two, but his arm span and flexibility are still much worse than that of Wu Huang.

Wu Huang let John Wall know in this game that physical fitness does not represent everything. Today, Wall got 6 fouls in just a short minute, and was expelled from the game. He made a total of 8 mistakes in the whole game, and was completely played with by Wu Huang. In fact, if Wall hadn't performed well today, the Knicks might have been killed by the Wizards if they were careless.

The Knicks still had the same problem as the last time they were in the game and did not score.

Today, New York has fewer teams in the team making mistakes and leads the rebounds, almost playing around the opponent, but they have never been able to lead the opponent with a big score. They have been counterattacked by the Wizards several times to catch up with the score in a short time.

Wu Huang is still in place in the control field, but the team's strength and no points must be related to him. Who said he is the team's brain? He is the core of the team. Regardless of whether the team wins or loses, he is the biggest concern. But the problem is that Wu Huang's data in these games is too good. Not only is it difficult for others to find that this is his problem, but Wu Huang himself does not believe that the team's winning will become difficult this season, and the loss will become bizarre, which will be his own problem.

On November 7, the Knicks continued to play at home, with their opponents being the bottom 76ers. The Knicks still dragged the game to the middle of the fourth quarter before defeating their opponents through consecutive three-pointers. In the first three quarters, the two teams with huge strength actually played back and forth, and the Wizards led the Knicks three times in the game.

In addition to the difficulty of making the last season's fluctuation on the offensive end, the Knicks seemed to have problems on the defensive end, with "motivation" being the first to be brunt. Sir and Garynalli lack motivation on the defensive end, which led to Wu Huang questioning the team's defense after the game, pointing straight at Stoudemire and Garynalli.

This kind of criticism is necessary, but Wu Huang did not understand the core key, that is, why are there problems with the two's defensive enthusiasm? The key is that they cannot get basketball. If a considerable number of players in the NBA are unhappy, it will affect their defensive attitude. They need to play on the offensive end to have defensive motivation. There cannot be too many such players in a team, because there is only one basketball and it is impossible to satisfy everyone.

In the first five games, the Knicks players always felt uncomfortable playing, but they couldn't find the key to the problem. This is actually a running-in problem. Every team will encounter it, and it will not be a problem with Wu Huang alone, but a problem with the whole team. Everyone must adapt to the new lineup again, and even change their roles and styles to adapt to new teammates. The difference is that if the strong team has problems, they can win the ball, and if the weak team completely becomes the bottom of the fish and cannot turn over.

Emperor Wu first began to seek change, and he began to increase his proportion of holding the ball. He felt that since he was not playing well now, I might as well play as last season. He took the opposite path.

On November 9, the Knicks played away against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Since Yi Jianlian left Milwaukee, the Bucks have gradually faded out of the attention of Chinese fans. This team, located in an extremely cold place, has experienced a lot of repetition and struggle in recent years, and finally has the clouds clear and the moon is bright. It is also expected to enter the playoffs in the new season, thus becoming one of the strong teams in the East.

Last season, the Bucks' general manager Hammond was awarded the league's best manager, and head coach Skeles also became the favorite for head coach of the year. It is obvious that the Bucks have lost five major players Jefferson, Villanueva and Sessions, Michael Reed was reimbursed for the season, and Andrew Bogut can still play in the playoffs despite a serious injury at the end of the regular season. The cooperation between the general manager and the coach is crucial.

Wu Huang personally appreciates the intimate relationship in the Bucks management. The two are also one of the few general managers and head coaches who cooperate with each other and have no gaps. The specific division of labor between these two people:

Head coach Skeles is responsible for strengthening the team's winning mode, that is, using defense to drive offense. The team lost only 100.9 points per 100 rounds last season, ranking among the top three in the league. If you think this is not enough, then that's all, it's only two years ago that coach K-shoulder's defensive efficiency was at the last place in the league. Putting aside Bogut's career masterpiece, Skeles does have some ability to train defense.

As for the effectiveness of general manager Hammond, it was to cooperate with the head coach to start a series of signings. The Bucks' ball path has gradually become clear by February, but it is not a team with balanced offense and defense. The top problem is the lack of one-on-one active offensive players. Hammond reacted quickly when he saw this and introduced the frustrated John Salmons from the Bulls. What is the role of "Salmon"? He has never been a top-notch. One of the major characteristics is that the head coach believes it is very different. The Kings' performance as the main force and substitute in the 2008-09 season was completely different, but the Bucks entrusted him with an important task and got a generous return of nearly 20 points per game. The Knicks lost it to this person once last season.

This summer, Hammond also continued to sign ups, receiving two famous players, Cory Mageti and Drew Guden. There has been a lot of criticisms about Mageti and Guden, but it is hard to deny that they have performed well in their respective strengths. The Bucks once faced with the tough battles, which will no longer be troubled by the destructive power injected by Mageti; as for Guden, it should be the most suitable center backup tire before Bogut recovers.

In the latest ESPN team report, data expert John Hollinger also called the Bucks the team with the "strongest lineup and the most available soldiers". Although this team is not well-known, it can become the number one obstacle for all powerful people. They have defeated the Celtics and the Heat before, so the Knicks must be careful to fall out when they meet them.

The Knicks did make a comeback in the first half, with Drew Gooden and Boykins joining forces to score 26 points, which hurt the Knicks. They trailed the Bucks 47:54 in the first half.

Emperor Wu was no longer calm in the second half and decisively regarded Stoudemire as David Lilai. In this way, Si suddenly became the team's third and even the fourth attack point. Emperor Wu opened his own firepower and scored 16 points in a single quarter in the third quarter, helping the Knicks overtake the score.

Whether it is good to play like this is at least not obvious in the regular season. Even if each strong team has countermeasures against Wu Huang's personal offense, they will not use it in the regular season. Some killer weapons on both offense and defense will only be used in the playoffs. In the regular season, each team plays around, basically: 40% of the stars play singles, 30% cooperate in a small range, and the last 30% are one or two sets of commonly used tactics. Teams like the Spurs and the Celtics generally use three or four sets of tactics to conquer the world, and there will be no more.

In the fourth quarter, Wu Huang stood up at a critical moment and scored 7 points in a row to help the team stabilize the victory. This is the first time he has fully demonstrated his hard work in the summer. In the second half of this game, Wu Huang was the only one who shone, and the others became supporting roles.

The final score was 109:101, the Knicks defeated the Bucks away. Wu Huang scored 28 points in the second half, scoring 45 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists in the game.

After the Knicks defeated the Bucks, they played four games this week and won three of them. Wu Huang averaged 32.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 9.8 assists, 4.0 steals, 1 block, and 4 turnovers in four games, becoming the "player of the week" in the third week of the 2010-2011 season. This is also the fourth best week in his career.

This "personal heroic" victory also won a lot of praise from the Knicks. Wu Huang naturally became a strong contender for the scoring leader this season. He is currently ranked second in the scoring leader with an average of 30.2 points per game, only 0.5 points less than Kevin Durant of the Thunder. The season has just begun and he may take the lead at any time.

Emperor Wu was indeed moved by the title of "Scoring King", and he felt that it was very comfortable to play himself like this. As for whether others were comfortable? He didn't care for the time being. He had to ensure that the team won the game, and his data was good. This was the case in this game. He always deliberately fed the ball to his teammates in the first half, and the game was restricted. But in the second half, he seemed to break free from the shackles, which was the most enjoyable game he played in the new season. At the same time, he also didn't believe that Xiao Si could help him share the pressure, or just let Xiao Si become a power forward who took more shots than David Lee, but there was no need to treat him as a core inside.

On November 10, the Knicks played back-to-back against the Warriors at home, and David Lee happened to be traded to the Warriors, and this game became the most interesting game for Knicks fans and Wu Huang fans.

The Dallas Mavericks were very popular in the 2006-07 season, but they encountered the "Black Eight Miracle" of the Golden State Warriors. In the end, the probability of this upset is indeed amazing, because in the past 16 seasons, they have only successfully advanced to the playoffs. Therefore, it is not too much to say that the Mavericks are unlucky. They played such a playoff in 16 years, and then they killed the league's first place that just created the best regular season record. And interestingly, the Warriors didn't seem to have gained much benefit from it. "Mad Scientist" Don Nelson became more and more crazy later, until he was dismissed this year, and he made countless mistakes.

In these games, many Wu Huang's fans, even the Knicks fans, have thrown the team's difficulty in winning the game to Stoudemire, because they played better last season than they are now, and they have repeatedly shown Sir's defense and poor passing weaknesses.

So today, Xiao Si played very selflessly, and he rarely passed the ball when he broke through. This was actually forced by 60e.

Such a game that is extremely important to Xiao Si himself has stimulated him to make some choices that are not like his style. He is actually deliberately passing the ball to his teammates and deliberately playing selflessly, but the effect is surprisingly good, because the opponent would never expect him to pass the ball when breaking through.
