On January 28, the Knicks lost 108,112 away from home. Although Wu Huang scored 41 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, Xiao Si injured his shoulder in the first quarter. The Knicks' inside strength was greatly reduced and he eventually lost the game with a 4-point disadvantage.

On January 30, the Knicks easily defeated the Detroit Pistons in the last game of this month. Sir Jr. was absent from the game. Wu Huang scored 35 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists. O'Neal played in 28 minutes to create the longest playing time of the season, scoring 21 points and 12 rebounds. The Knicks still broke the Pistons.

Stoudemire injured his shoulder in the game against the Hawks, but it was not very serious. The team doctor felt that Sir Si's knee had many hidden dangers and suggested that he rest for one to two weeks. Anyway, the Knicks' record was stable, and even if he had a quit before the All-Star game, it would be no big deal.

After the Knicks finished the January game, their overall record turned 34 wins and 10 losses, and they still ranked first in the Eastern Conference and second in the league. They just need to wait for the Spurs to make mistakes. These old men cannot be more stamina than their stamina, and **Vic will not overdraw the players to compete for the Knicks for the regular season first.

The Knicks will have the most relaxing month throughout February, and they only need to play ten games this month. Looking at such a schedule, the Knicks team was relieved.

On February 2, the Knicks will soon welcome the Western Conference powerhouse Dallas Mavericks at home. Xiao Si took the initiative to ask for the game before the game. He felt that after a week of rest, his shoulder injury had already healed, and the hidden dangers of his knees were not for a day or two. The schedule this month is so good, he doesn't feel that he is at risk of injury. Even if he wants to rest, it should be March or April.

The Dallas Mavericks are very strong this year. After trading insider Tyson Chandler, they made up for their last shortcomings. At this moment, Kidd is in the backcourt to lead the entire team. The forward line composed of Stevenson and Marion has excellent defensive ability and quick down ability. Barria and Terry, who are substitutes, can provide microwave-like offensive firepower. German tanks are as efficient as ever and are difficult to defend. Chandler's arrival also solves the Mavericks' most urgently needed interior defensive ability.

Such Mavericks have no many flaws. If there wasn't a Spurs in the Southwest Division to beat them, they would have been the number one team in the West at this moment.

The Mavericks' moves this summer are not big, but they are not the only one who successfully renews the contract with Brandon Heywood and Dirk Nowitzki, they also welcomed the powerful inside player of Dream Nine center Tyson Chandler. However, their best deal was to deal with Eric Danpier's contract. Although Cuban had a whimsical idea to use this contract to chase superstars such as LeBron James and Dwayne Wade, of course, they failed to get what they wanted, because they overestimated the value of this insured contract. Fortunately, the Mavericks finally got Chandler and sent away two garbage contracts. In fact, it has made Danpier's contract worth the money, and it can even be said to be super worth it.

After failing to attract superstars this summer, the Mavericks' actions were pragmatic. After retaining Heywood, they would trade for Chandler. In this way, after Danpier left, the Mavericks' inside defense not only did not decline, but instead improved significantly.

Chandler's contract will expire next summer and will not affect the team's future operations at all. In this transaction, the Mavericks cleared out the two garbage contracts, Matt Carroll and Eduadonahura. No matter from any aspect, the transaction is only profitable and not lost.

Domestic fans have always loved and hated the Mavericks. They love because of Wang Zhizhi and hate because they blocked Yao Ming from entering the second round twice. In the past few years, the Mavericks' attention in China may not be worse than that of the Lakers.

The 200405 season was a season in which the Mavericks experienced drastic changes. It was from this season that Nowitzki's average score data averaged around 25 points per game, and gradually became the Mavericks' well-deserved leader and entered the ranks of the league's superstars.

The Mavericks' team building idea has always been very simple. As long as they can equip Nowitzki with a player who can do a good job in defense and rebounding at the basket and have certain singles at the basket, Nowitzki will be much easier. Adhering to this idea, the Mavericks have been dizzyingly strengthening in the inside in the past two summers. Last year, they were all set up by the Orlando Magic because they were eager to seek talents. Marsingo Tate did not win, but lost Brandon Bass. Mid-by last season, the Mavericks finally introduced Brandon Haywood and made up for Tyson Chandler this summer. The team's intention was very obvious. They were willing to strengthen the inside in order to give Nowitzki more chances to breathe.

The German signed a four-year, 80 million contract with the team in summer, which gave all Dallas a peace of mind. Nowitzki also said: "Want to dig me? Let's do it for the next life!" Undoubtedly, Dirk tied himself with Dallas tightly, and there is no way to go regardless of success or failure.

The Knicks are also a bit tricky when facing the Mavericks' balanced lineup. The breakthrough finally fell on Wu Huang, because it seems that it should not be difficult for him to break through Kidd. Although this mature triple-double king is very famous, he is already old and has always been unable to deal with a point guard like Wu Huang, who has strong explosive power and flexible steps. So as long as Wu Huang beats Kidd, all the problems will be solved.

D'Antoni's idea is lazy enough, but this is indeed the easiest way. Wu Huang said before the game that he accepted this task. He always felt that bullying these Hall of Fame-level old guys had a sense of pleasure, and he had no idea of ​​respecting and loving the elderly.

But before the game, another trading atmosphere came to my face

Several media outlets in New York and Denver broke rumors about the possible deal between the two teams on the 1st.

Even got inside information, especially a news posted in the corner. It is rumored that the Knicks may use Gallinari, Monroe, Green, and Turiav to trade Carmelo Anthony of the digging team. Once this rumor comes true, it will become a major deal that affects the title.

Emperor Wu naturally heard the news and expressed his shock, because he did not know about this from the team's senior management in advance, but the groundlessness may not be without reason. He knew that the general manager had always wanted to bring James and Anthony to New York, so this was very likely a good thing for Donny Walsh, and his boss James Dolan must have acquiesced.

"Isn't this nonsense? If he comes, I won't pass the ball then, don't blame me." Emperor Wu was very upset. It seemed that he needed to let Brandon communicate with the team's senior management. He didn't even notify him of such a big thing first? Do you want him to make some fun of the Nets and the Clippers' news?

Some media even praised the Knicks for their great skills, saying that they can't bear to let their children go and can't trap them. Doing a core skeleton is more important than anything. A superstar can make any difficult game simple, which is something that no player can do.

These people's reasons are basically this. It is easy to get a general. Monroe, Garlin, and Green are all very high-quality role players, but no matter how good they are, they are just role players, who have to endure the net worth of 8 million to 10 million. If such role players are played out, they have to give them a good contract. These people will lock the team's space with a large amount of long contracts and will be restricted when signing top stars. And such high-quality role players, as long as they have done their core skeleton, they will get as much as they want. The examples of Celtics and Lakers are there. They are not short of high-quality role players who are not very useful every year.

Among the nearly 500 players in the league, at least ten role players who are homogeneous or similar to Monroe and Garlinari, but Melon only has one in the league. If you win, it will increase the entire outside line. As for not enough role players to make up for it, in fact, a team has such excellent firepower. Do you still need to rely on bench players to conquer the world? No matter how good the bench is, it is a bench. What's more, once this system is established, what level of attractiveness is it for a large number of role players in the league who want to win? Uncle Huo Er is 38 years old. This season, when he heard the combination of the Heat's three giants, he hurried to Miami. If the Knicks make up four giants, then the championship is still easy to win?

Emperor Wu was so angry that he read these reports that he didn't know what he was relieved!

Is their core skeleton not good enough? These bastards are obviously going to cause trouble!

In fact, in the Knicks, not only Wu Huang was dissatisfied when he heard this news, but most of the Knicks players were very dissatisfied, especially the young players who were caught in the rumors of being traded. They don’t want to leave now. Although they are often called players by fans here, they can always enjoy the feeling of winning and get honors here. At the same time, the exposure rate is twice that of so-called Nuggets, and the money they earn is only a lot more and less. Only fools are willing to run to the plateau area to fight for the playoffs.

The second in commander, Xiao Si, is unwilling to have another superstar in the team. Although Wu Huang is in control of the ball now, he is also the core of the inside line. He will not have few data and will not have few shots. However, it is not certain that he will have another Anthony who can be three or four. At that time, he might be like poor Bosh, who has completely become the third scoring point of the team and is also the first candidate to take the blame for losing.

Wu Huang had a sudden inspiration. He was now very dissatisfied with his manager. This guy always wanted to do big deals, so they just held a closed-door meeting between players and then took Downey together. In this case, as long as the players agreed, it was not too difficult to drive away a head coach and general manager, at least it could make the general manager much more honest.

Before the game started, Wu Huang communicated with Xiao Si and Iguodala, which was to express respect. He also dragged Gallinari in. The small meeting of only four people made the Italians very excited, which shows that Wu Huang affirmed his status and was at least the fourth leader.

It is by no means a shame to be the fourth leader in the Knicks. Iguodala is not only experienced but also a low-key person, but also has no credit for his position as a third leader. Xiao Si is second only to Wu Huang in terms of fame and strength in the team. The second leader does not need to compete for the identity of Wu Huang, and the team is the core of the team wherever he goes. Gallinari has long dared not compete with Wu Huang in secret, so he thinks it is not easy to achieve the goal of becoming the fourth leader in the team.

The final discussion result of the four people was exactly in line with Emperor Wu’s wishes. What the Knicks now needs is stability, rather than thinking about making big deals all day long, and doing so will sooner or later lose people’s hearts.

In this game, the players in the team who were caught in trading rumors performed very well. They wanted to use their performance to let the fans see that although they were not as famous as Anthony, they were not able to catch a lot of small roles casually.

Emperor Wu was happy to feed them the ball, so after the first quarter, Gallinari scored 12 points, and Monroe scored 6 points. Even Green, who was usually silent, scored two three-pointers and scored 6 points.

The performances of these three people gave the media and fans who supported the transaction. Wu Huang did not attack Kidd according to D'Antoni's tactics. He only made two moves in the first quarter, hit a three-pointer, and scored 5 points with free throws, but he scored 7 assists, tying his single-quarter assist record.

The Mavericks performed very well today. What they were most worried about was that Wu Huang used his personal ability to break through Kidd, so the tactics before the game were arranged around this point. Chandler's task today was originally very big because he had to make up for Kidd in time in the interior. However, after the game began, the script was not carried out like this. The Knicks made a big breakthrough and passed the ball. Wu Huang sometimes could solve the problem by himself, but he just wanted to pass the ball to his teammates in one go. However, his teammates could always hit the pass. Even though most of the Mavericks' defense was done well, the Knicks' whole team was like he was aiming himself, so how could he not defend it?

After the first quarter, the score was 4033. The Knicks' offense was even more smooth today. The feeling of the whole team participating in it was that the Spurs meant a little. But at the moment when the shooting and the goal were a bit similar, the Knicks' offense still had to rely on Wu Huang to complete the first half, but the Spurs' offense did not require Parker to complete so many tasks.

The second quarter game became the time for Xiao Si to get angry again. Xiao Ba Wang felt that being the second child was a frustrated enough. He must not be the third child to take the blame for the two of them. It felt like punching a fire hydrant with his fist. If he tried it once, he would never want to try it again.

Wu Huang continued to assist. The Mavericks' pick-and-roll cooperation against the Knicks was originally targeted, but the result was still the same. Even though Chandler and Nowitzki's defense were done well, Sir could get the ball into the basket when he cut into the inside and received the basketball. Today he fully demonstrated his historical-level face frame ability. No matter where he cut into the basket or where he went to the inside, he could always find the basket accurately and complete the shot.

At the end of the half game, the score was 7663. The Mavericks, who had already performed well enough, were beaten to no aura. The Knicks' shooting percentage in the first half reached a terrifying 61. Wu Huang gave 13 assists in the first half. Such a performance cannot be reduced if anyone comes. To be continued.
