Chapter 312 The record is not easy to break
After the game in February, the Knicks maintained their record at 45 wins and 12 losses, continuing to lead the Eastern Conference.
After playing in February, Wu Huang has slightly declined in all data, but he has not suffered any injuries this season. In addition to the few games suspended, he played a total of 52 games, averaged 39.9 minutes per game, contributing 31.9 points, 6.9 rebounds, 10.4 assists, 3.2 steals, 1.1 blocks, and 3.8 turnovers. He shot 52.9%, three-point shooting percentage 43.8%, and 90.9% free throw shooting percentage.
It is worth mentioning that in these 52 games, Wu Huang won a total of 7 triple-double data. Although he has not performed a triple-double again in the last dozen games, this data is enough to make him win the triple-double king this season. It may be difficult to surpass Kidd's 13 triple-double performance in a single season, not to mention that it is even more difficult to surpass the Magician's 17 triple-double performance in a single season. There must be no hope this season.
Wu Huang has always had a strong desire to break the records of his predecessors. Kidd's 13 triple-double record in a single season is his current goal. He hopes to complete it within his first three seasons and then start the journey of the next goal. The Magician's 17 triple-double record in a single season.
In fact, there are Oscar Robertson and Wilt Chamberlain in the Magicians. The former won 41 triple-doubles in the 1961-62 season, and the latter won 31 triple-doubles in the 1967-68 season. But these two records happened too early, and all the data in that era were very watery. Generally, most of the data before the 1980s could not be compared with the present. Therefore, as long as Wu Huang surpassed the Magicians' records, he could completely shout the argument that "I am the king of triple-doubles in history."
As for whether he can win the "Player of the Month" award in February, Wu Huang is naturally confident about this.
This month, the league has no reason to award this award to others. He is not the only one in the middle of the season, but he has a slight decline, and this is true in the whole league. However, Wu Huang still averaged 30+6+9 per game in February, and the team's record is excellent enough. No one in the East can compete with him, so this award is naturally his.
At the same time, in the scoring list, Wu Huang's average of 31.9 points per game almost locked this title ahead of schedule. Durant, ranked second, has dropped to 27.8 points per game, and it is impossible to compete with him anymore. The same is true for the steal king. Wu Huang's average of 3.2 steals per game is far ahead of Chris Paul, who ranked second. The latter has only 2.4 steals per game. With two-thirds of the season, it is impossible to overtake. Unfortunately, in the assist list, Wu Huang's average of 10.4 assists per game is temporarily behind Nash and Rondo, especially Nash, who ranked first, is currently leading him a lot in this list, and it is unlikely that Wu Huang would surpass the opponent.
Wu Huang can still try to hit the 190 Club, which is a unique milestone in history. Although Steve Cole in the 1995 season once achieved this feat, it was later considered invalid because he did not meet the players' requirements for the entire season: at least 300 shots, 82 three-pointers, and 125 free throws. Without this hard indicator, Yao Ming had won 240+ clubs.
In the NBA, players have a hit rate of 50+40+90 in a single season, which means they are already very excited to enter the 180 club. This is also the identity credential of the top scorers. In the history of the NBA, only five players have done this (Steve Nash, Larry Bird, Mark Price, Reggie Miller, Dirk Nowitzki). But the difference is that Wu Huangzheng is approaching the club that only belongs to him step by step, and he is likely to become the pyramid-like existence of this record.
The league usually awards the "Player of the Month" award on the 5th of each month. Before that, the Knicks will face the Orlando Magic at home on the 1st, then play back-to-back against the Hornets away, and then go away against the Cavaliers on the 4th. In such four days and three games, one of which is back-to-back schedule can be called hell. The Knicks will usher in a Devil March schedule in March.
However, this devil schedule is not for the Knicks. "March of the Devil" is a common trouble for 30 teams in the league. Since most of the schedules in February are too easy, everyone has to pay off their debts in March, and the Knicks are no exception. They have to play 18 games this month, and there are a total of 6 back-to-back games waiting for them.
"Although it's very difficult, everyone has the same difficulties. We are confident that we will achieve a winning rate of more than 60% in March. Besides, the league will likely face a suspension next season. Once the schedule shrinks in the end, we may have to face such a devilish schedule every month. Now we will treat it as a pre-practice." Wu Huang mentioned the suspension crisis next season before facing the Magic. Judging from the various news we have received at this moment, the differences between labor and capital are not ordinary, equivalent to the players talking about 1 and the bosses talking about 9. This is definitely not a contradiction that can be resolved in one or two negotiations.
Now most media and players think that the suspension of next season is inevitable, it depends on how long it will take. Wu Huang thinks that he will have to shrink ten games, right?
Howard came to New York this time and was very aggressive. The Warcraft consciously suffered great humiliation in the All-Star Game. This game is the day for him to avenge his shame. He must give Wu Huang a good look, and at the same time let everyone know that his importance is far higher than Wu Huang Huang.
Before the game, Wu Huang mocked: "Someone should get the home advantage in the first round of the playoffs first and then talk about other things. Can he still make it to the second round this season? I think this may be a difficult question for the Magic."
The 2010-2011 season has completed two-thirds, and the Eastern Conference ranking has stabilized. At least who can enter the playoffs is almost certain. Next, everyone is fighting for a higher ranking.
1, New York Knicks (45 wins and 12 losses).
2, Chicago Bulls (37 wins and 19 losses).
3, Miami Heat (35 wins and 22 losses).
4. Boston Celtics (34 wins and losses).
5, Orlando Magic (31 wins and 26 losses).
6, Atlanta Hawks (29 wins and 28 losses).
7, Milwaukee Bucks (24 wins and 34 losses).
8, Indiana Pacers (wins and 34 losses).
Howard is no longer confident of speaking now. No matter how loud he shouts, the media and fans will not take his words to heart. Who made the Magic continue to retreat this season? Even if they invited Turkish agents back, the Orlando people still couldn't find the state they reached the finals a few years ago. Almost everyone except Howard is currently regressing.
Wu Huang's confidence comes from the team's performance. The Knicks have always had bonuses at home. This season they only lost three games at home, and one game was during Wu Huang's suspension. The Magic's current winning rate is really not big here. Even though Howard only rested for two minutes in the whole game, under the attack of Wu Huang's 36 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists and Sir's 30 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, the Magic still lost to the Knicks 101:109.
Howard scored 30 points, 16 rebounds and 5 blocks in the whole game, and even played at a super level in free throws. He even couldn't believe his performance, but in the end the Magic still lost. They lost the same problem as the Heat. Although they were much higher in shooting percentage and rebounding in the whole game than the Knicks, they failed to control the mistakes like the Heat. The most important thing is that they shot 18 times less than the Knicks.
After the All-Star Weekend, the Knicks seemed to have found another way to win, which is to take action desperately. Whether it is reasonable or unreasonable, let's first shoot the basketball in our hands.
D'Antoni may have realized something. Their 8-second offensive style pursues the number of shots, so they no longer need to pursue the rationality of attacks, nor should they pay attention to bullshit efficiency, but should increase the number of shots in a crazy way... Even if the efficiency of this kind of offense is not high, I will shoot more than ten more goals or even twenty more goals than you in a game, and if I don't have any efficiency, I can score more than seven or eight more points than you? Maybe in the end I won the seven or eight points.
The Knicks' crazy virtual zone play style is very restrained by teams that always want to drag them into positional battles. The Heat and the Magic played very calmly in these two games, pursuing rationality and efficiency as much as possible. In this way, they are destined to not take action like the Knicks. The Knicks will likely end up with 10+ or even 20+ shots than their opponents, which will become a very deadly link.
Howard will not mention revenge after the game, and Wu Huang is too lazy to finish the game. He did not say anything before the game. The Magic did have a sad first round this year. Whether it meets the Heat or the Celtics, the Magic's lineup is not his opponent. Unless Howard plays super magic every game and has such free throw shooting percentage today, this Magic is destined to have no hope.
After defeating the Magic, the Knicks quickly rushed to New Orleans. The interval between the two games was very short, and time was a bit rushed for the Knicks. When they arrived at the away game, they didn't even have time to rest well. After a night of sleep, they had to prepare for the game. Many players' thoughts were still stuck in the previous game.
This kind of game is extremely unfavorable to the Knicks, and there is a great chance of winning with the Hornets' strength, but the prerequisite is that Chris Paul must perform well, but Paul is the one who is silent in this game.
Recently, there have been many conflicts between Paul and his team, and rumors have been flying everywhere. Sometimes, they say that Paul is going to join forces with Kobe, sometimes, they say that Paul is going to Orlando to partner with Warcraft, some people say that he will go to the Clippers, and these days, they are rumored that the Celtics are going to exchange Rondo and Paul singles, and the passing is quite good...
In this case, I don’t know if it was affected by rumors or deliberately working but not working hard to threaten the team’s trade. Paul played 36 minutes in this game, but only scored 4 points and 10 assists, and only made 7 shots, and his desire to attack was so low.
The feeling that Emperor Wu got when he faced Paul was the most real. Today, Paul really didn't put in his strength to compete with him. Even the small movements that Emperor Wu hated rarely appeared on him today. This was a bit like Kidd rather than Paul.
Everyone knows that the Hornets must rely on Paul to win the game, but how can the Hornets win the game with such a core team that does not work hard?
Wu Huang had a premonition that even if Paul would not be traded this season, he would definitely not see this guy in New Orleans next season. As long as Paul continues to play a few games like this, the team will have to choose to trade him next season. The forced melon is not only not sweet, but also poisonous!
The Knicks won this game in a mess. After returning to home, Wu Huang scored 44 points and sent the Cavaliers to four seasons. The poor Clevelanders have only won 9 games so far. Many people are waiting to see them break the team's worst record. Moreover, the Cavaliers still have the chance to become the second team in history to win less than double-digit wins.
After defeating the Cavaliers, Wu Huang finally received the news that he won the Best Player of the Month in February, which is also the third time he has won this honor this season.
Wu Huang's fans are excited at this moment. If he wins the next March and April best honors, he will become the only person in NBA history to win the 5th player of the month in a single season. Previously, LeBron James and Kevin Garnett were the only ones to win the 4th player of the month in a single season. Wu Huang now has the chance to surpass these two seniors and set a new record again.
However, this task seems a bit difficult. James suddenly broke out this month. After Wu defeated the Hawks away, James also scored 42 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists at home, defeating the second-place Chicago Bulls in the East through double overtime, and won the fourth triple-double data of the season.
In fact, more than this game, James was fully fired in March. Not only did he make a big move, but the Heat also wanted to help him. Even Wu Huang felt that the league was also interested in helping James, because the Gorilla's average free throws average is also increasing. Take this game against the Bulls as an example. James's 19 points out of 42 points were obtained at the free throw line. He stood on the free throw line 28 times tonight, and the number of free throws was too abnormal.
Emperor Wu judged others by himself. He felt that the league definitely did not want him, a yellow-skinned guy, to break the record, so it is very likely that he would destroy his best month in March, but he was worried that he would not convince the public by doing so, so he followed the flow and pushed James out. As long as the average average of the two of them this month was similar, the league certainly had reason to give James the ball.
If this happens, the Heat are the ones who benefit the most, and their record is likely to rise sharply because of this. Moreover, everyone's schedule this month is very poor, but the Heat may rise against the trend and surpass the Bulls and rise to second in the East.
On March 7, the Knicks encountered trouble in Salt Lake City. They were stubbornly sniped here, away from home, back-to-back. Even without the team's core Deron Williams, the stadium is still difficult to conquer, let alone the back-to-back Knicks are very tired, and they finally failed here.
