On January 19, this was the last game of Wu Huang's suspension. The Knicks were still wandering in the West. Today's opponent is the Houston Rockets, who "who always defeated the weak teams, and when they always defeated the strong teams, they always defeated the opponents" this season.

Wu Huang took $500 to Houston in this game. He first ate and drank in Yao Restaurant for free, and then prepared to go to watch his team's game on site in the evening.

Before the game started, a reporter came forward to interview him. Wu Huang said: "It is normal for consecutive away games to lose. I don't think we have any problems. In fact, before I was suspended, we were prepared to lose continuously on the Western Conference away tour, so this has nothing to do with my suspension." In this game, Wu Huang sat in the front row, right next to the Knicks bench. This is a ticket that Yao Ming got him for, preparing to let him see how his team lost four consecutive times.

The Knicks' longest losing streak this season is two consecutive losses, but after losing to the Jazz in the last game, they have completed the task of losing three consecutive games. If they lose in this game, they will lose four consecutive games.

Wu Huang's answer was obviously against his will. After the radio station completed the interview, he released a very vulgar interview before the suspension. At that time, his view on this away trip was not what he said. At that time, he was full of confidence. Wu Huang in the camera talked: "I don't think this continuous Western away trip will ruin us. Although the schedule will be more difficult, most of the opponents we face are not the top eight teams in the West. We are confident that we can win most of the victory here and return to the top position in the league." This interview was recorded by Wu Huang when he defeated the Lakers at home, which is completely opposite to his answer today.

The Knicks fans did not complain about this, but instead scolded the Knicks players for being of level!

It is normal for Emperor Wu to say this in an interview. Could it be that he wants to say, "My teammates are really useless. After leaving me, they can't even beat the king, so go all!" Is that true? That's the problem with IQ.

Although even some media think that this team is really entirely up to Emperor Wu, and it is not worth losing in this three-game losing streak, especially in the game against the Kings, the Knicks' large number of mistakes and the same defense as Marshmallows once again proves that D'Antoni cannot score a result without a good point guard in hand.

The Rockets' record this season is pretty good. With only Yao Ming, a large number of main players leaving, those who haven't left are getting older and older, and those who have newcomers are getting smaller and smaller, they still have the record of the top eight in the Western Conference. Now they rank fourth in the Western Conference with a record of 26 wins and 14 losses. The Rockets' record this year is really beyond many people's expectations.

Wu Huang came to watch the game on site today, but it actually didn't help the team, and even added extra pressure to his teammates, because they now feel that Wu Huang was playing so badly as soon as the game was suspended, and I was really embarrassed to face him.

In the past few games, Wu Huang was not on the scene. When the situation on the court was unfavorable, they could at least beat the attack well. But today Wu Huang came to watch the game on the spot, which brought them too much pressure, so it was not a good thing for him to watch the game on the spot.

Wu Huang himself knows this, so he didn't go to watch the football on site in the previous few games. The reason why he came to watch the football on site today was more for himself. If he didn't go to watch the football on site for five games suspended, it would be easy for the men to throw the responsibility on him, such as he has no leadership spirit, no sense of responsibility, no concern for the team, etc.

The Knicks sent out today are: Alstom, Iguodala, Garlinari, Sir Jr., and O'Neal.

The Rockets' lineup is very different from last season. Lowry, who is stronger in point guard, replaced Bu Xiao, and Martin, who is more functional in the shooting guard, is more suitable to partner with Yao Ming. Bathir continues to be the third position of the team. Substitute Badinger has made significant progress this season. Power forward Scolla has not yet grown old. The inside line composed of him and Yao Ming is full of lethality in the low post. The two scarce inside lines who are good at low post dance have made the whole league feel a headache.

In the first quarter, Rockets point guard Kyle Lowry, who has made great progress this year, showed off his skills in front of Wu Emperor, making 5 shots, including 2 of 2 three-pointers and three assists, helping the Rockets lead the Knicks with 11 points with 36:25. This is the data for Lowry in this game.

The Knicks didn't play well on the offensive end today. Sir made 5 of 8 shots in the first quarter, scoring 11 points and 2 rebounds. Iguodala and Gallinari also scored 6 points each, but the efficiency of the two was not high. They only made 3 of 10 shots in total, and they almost never made three-pointers.

In the first quarter, the live footage frequently gave Wu Huang, especially when Lowry scored a goal, the camera would pull Wu Huang to Wu's face with full of malice.

Emperor Wu had no expression on his face today. He couldn't make himself laugh, otherwise he would just wait to be completely covered in darkness!

Today he had already made plans. The team had the upper hand, so he kept giggling. When the team was abused, he kept pretending to be deep and no one could find any problem.

In the second quarter, both teams played badly on the offensive end, and all the scoring points in the first quarter were blocked by the coaches of the two teams' defense. Today, under the pressure of the media and fans, Xiao Wangzi had to repeatedly emphasize the importance of defense. The hard performance of Iguodala, Tony Allen, Green and others did make the Rockets' outside line silence.

However, Yao Ming, who was in the Rockets' inside, was really unable to be restricted. O'Neal couldn't keep up. He got two fouls because of his slow pace in the first quarter. As soon as he got a blocking foul, O'Pang played very depressedly.

After the first half, the score was 6048. The Knicks were 12 points behind the Rockets in the first half. The Knicks had done a good job in the second quarter, but the offense failed to play. The two teams tied in this quarter.

In the second half, the two teams continued to compete on defense. On the one hand, they relied on the legacy left by Van Gundy and the players' better execution and discipline, and on the other hand, they used the players' personal defensive ability and athletic talent, and finally played another pound.

However, the Rockets, who are stronger inside, still have a slight advantage in this positional battle. Yao Ming scored 24 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks in the third quarter, and unknowingly became the player with the highest score in the game.

But everyone knows that Yao Ming always lost his tracks in the fourth quarter due to physical strength problems a few years ago. Today he has a lot of playing time and is getting older. Last year, he had a major injury that was reimbursed for the season. This season, he actually only had 30 minutes of physical strength. Even if he played a few more minutes, it would be difficult to persist. He could only do useless back-running runs on the court.

In the fourth quarter, Yao Ming's performance declined again, but fortunately, there is an Argentine actor who is not much less offensive in the interior. Xiao Si faces the Argentine who is much shorter than himself and has a much worse athletic ability. Today, he seems very powerless. Almost every single defense ends in failure. He is completely unable to deal with the Argentine's strange footsteps and turn movements.

This is particularly obvious in the fourth quarter. Scola was almost fainted by Scola. Every time he was passed, he would reveal a painful expression of "Where am I?" and "Who is hitting me?"

However, the Knicks' defense was not too bad today. At least D'Antoni began to instruct the players to defend hard, and he also made some sacrifices on the offensive end.

But it is also this change that has been influenced by experts, media and fans that has prevented the Knicks from playing offenses that they were good at in the past, which is also fatal to the Knicks, because they first dug a big hole for themselves in the first quarter and did not have enough offensive firepower. How did they fill this hole?

In the third quarter, the two teams scored a score of 2221, and the Knicks lost one point in a single quarter.

In the fourth quarter, the two teams scored another 2218, and the Knicks lost 4 points in a single quarter.

The final result is so good. Except for the first quarter, the Knicks limited the Rockets' score to below 25 points, which is already a very good defensive result, but their offense is worse than their opponents because they have no players who are good at positional battles at all. This kind of defensive game is undoubtedly a self-digging grave for this Knicks.

Sir Si has never been a player who is good at playing positional warfare, nor is Gallinari, but the Rockets have two inside players who are good at playing positional warfare, and the result is actually long ago destined.

Yao Ming was finally named the best in the game. Although the little giants won in the fourth quarter, he has been leading the team forward in the first three quarters, scoring excellent data of 26 points and 13 rebounds. Moreover, his role is not reflected in the data. Without him, he involved a large number of defensive forces in the interior, Lowry could not rr in the first quarter, and Martin could not score a three-point shooting percentage of 5 of 10 shots in the game. Even Scola could not get a lot of opportunities to fight Sir.

Wu Huang finally smiled bitterly, and then he entered the close-up. Today he got more close-ups on the sidelines than Yao Ming, who won the best in the game. It can be seen that his influence has reached the point where he can steal the limelight from other stars by sitting there.

However, the Knicks finally lost. After losing to the Rockets, their record dropped to 32 wins and 9 losses, and were finally surpassed by the Bulls, falling to second place in the East and third place in the league.

Eastern ranking

1, Chicago Bulls won 33 and lost 9.

2, New York Knicks won 32 and lost 9.

3. The Boston Celtics lost 26 wins and 14 losses.

4, Miami Heat lost 26 wins and 15 losses.

5. Orlando Magic won 18.

6. Atlanta Hawks won 20 and lost 20.

7, the Milwaukee Bucks won 18 and lost 22.

8, the Philadelphia 76ers won 18 and lost 22.

After the game, Wu Huang left with the team without being interviewed. The next game they were going to play the last game of the Western Conference Tour, with the opponent being the Oklahoma City Thunder, which is the last time the two teams have played this season.

The Knicks players were not in high spirits after the game. Their defense in this game was better. Even Sir and Gallinari performed very hard, just to win a game before Wu Huang came back.

But don’t get me wrong. This is not to win for Emperor Wu, but they must prove that they are not waste!

But in the end they still lost. A four-game losing streak proved that they are trash! At least the fans must think so now, and the result is that they cannot win if they leave Wu Huang. They become weak teams and strong teams cannot win. Are they really trash?

Emperor Wu can't be secretly happy about it now. If the Knicks lose two or three games, he can be secretly happy, but now he loses four consecutive times, and he is very unhappy. After all, this is still his team. Only then did he realize that his three views are quite correct, and he is not happy at this time.

Wu Huang didn't say much to his teammates after the game. In this case, he was very unwise to encourage these teammates, and it was easy to have a counterproductive effect. He would just let them lick their wounds slowly heal. Otherwise, people would think he was deliberately showing his presence and irony, so he didn't say anything after the game, just a light hit with his teammates and it would be over.

He didn't know that at this time, these teammates felt embarrassed just when they saw Wu Huang in suits and tie, especially Stoudemire. When he saw Wu Huang, his face turned a little red, which was really ashamed.

In the five games when Wu Huang was away, the Knicks naturally took him as the core, but he led the team to a four-game losing streak. You should know that they had the second record of 27 consecutive victories before! Now this performance has caused him to be questioned by the media and fans. All Knicks fans are discussing whether their little bully is an All-Star player? After all, in the Suns period, many people thought that Xiao Si was promoted to the All-Star with Nash's all-round talent. Now it seems that he is really like this. Without Wu Huang, he will immediately stop.

This doubt is obviously unreasonable. There are too many factors in the Knicks' continuous losses, including continuous away games, core players being suspended, excessive pressure from the media and fans, coaches' misdemeanors in the arrangement, and even luck.

However, this result does prove that Xiao Si's luck was too bad during this period. He happened to have not helped the team win during the suspension of Wu Huang. In fact, if he could give him more time, he could still lead the Knicks to improve slowly, but he didn't have many opportunities, only five games, and now he has used up. In the next game, the Knicks will play against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the strongest opponent since the suspension of Wu Huang Huang.

At this time, Xiao Si could have thought that if Wu Huang came back like a chicken blood and helped them kill the Thunder away, then his "waste" label would probably be put on for the rest of his life.

Thinking about it this way, it is really terrifying to think about it! But according to the comparison of the real strength of the two teams, the Knicks, with a complete lineup, do have the strength to play 55 against the Thunder away, so once the Knicks win the Thunder the day after tomorrow, it will be too embarrassing!

Xiao Si may have the idea of ​​letting go in his heart now, but it’s just thinking about it. If he really dares to do this, he doesn’t want to gain a foothold. Even if he is underestimated in the future, he can only play well.

And he must perform well the day after tomorrow. If he does not perform well, Wu Huang's performance is very good. No matter whether the team wins or loses, he will become a tragedy.
