The Knicks' schedule in April is not very easy, with two back-to-backs in seven games, and the last away game is full of malice.

This year's playoffs will start on April 16, and the Knicks will win two more games to lock in the top spot in the Eastern Conference and the league.

Eastern ranking

1, New York Knicks (60 wins and 15 losses).

2, Miami Heat (55 wins and 20 losses).

3. Boston Celtics (52 wins and losses).

4, Orlando Magic (50 wins and 25 losses).

5, Chicago Bulls (43 wins and 32 losses).

6, Atlanta Hawks (41 wins and 34 losses).

7, Milwaukee Bucks (36 wins and 39 losses).

8, Indiana Pacers (34 wins and 41 losses).

9, Philadelphia 76ers (32 wins and 43 losses)

If the current ranking continues until the end of the regular season, the Knicks will play against the Pacers in the first round. But whether it is against the Pacers, the Bucks or the 76ers, the Knicks have an absolute advantage over these three teams. As for the Magic and the Bulls in the next round, the Knicks know from top to bottom that their opponent in the second round is one of these two teams.

If they can choose, of course they want to play against the Magic team with 3 wins and 1 losses in the regular season. Because once the Bulls can defeat the Magic and play to the second round, it means that their running-in is over. No one in the league is willing to face the Bulls who are in normal form. Although theoretically none of the top four teams are weak teams, the Knicks still want to avoid the Bulls who are in normal form.

"Our goal at this stage is to win more victories. We have all the affairs of the playoffs confidentially. Anyone who dares to disclose them will be punished by the team's ban. So don't ask me about the playoffs, nor do you ask others, and we won't tell you if we kill him." Before going to Charlotte, Wu said to the reporters who surrounded him at the airport.

In this game, Wu Huang also communicated with Jordan a few times during the warm-up. They are currently a character who appreciates and respects, so the relationship looks very good. But if we deepen the contact, I believe they will soon turn against each other. Wu Huang needs to maintain a relationship with celebrities such as Jordan and Bird.

Jordan did not require the Bobcats to win this time, and he had already forgotten the holiday with the Knicks last season. Now the Bobcats are determined to rebuild. They traded Gerald Wallace to the Trail Blazers, and Stephen Jackson will be traded next season. Jordan actually wants to lose more, otherwise they will retain Wallace and have a chance to make the playoffs, but the Joe Gang is really not looking at this playoffs that are destined to be in the first round.

D'Antoni began to consciously rotate in such a game. Sir only played 24 minutes today, scoring 10 points and 5 rebounds. Wu Huang played 28 minutes, scoring 16 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists, and the Knicks beat the Bobcats away with 100:90.

Today, Wu Huang wanted to try to complete the triple-double performance in three consecutive games, but Xiao Wangzi didn't give him this opportunity. Although it was a pity, D'Antoni was out of overall consideration, and Wu Huang could understand it.

Media in Asia and New York, fans of Knicks and Wu Huang, all have high hopes for this playoff this year, and the players and coaching staff are also ready to go to the playoffs to make a big move. This year, their only goal is to win the championship!

Wu Huang also knew that the chance of winning the championship this time was quite good. The playoff schedule was good for them. The Magic and the Bulls had their own flaws in the second round, and they had a high chance of reaching the Eastern Conference finals in one fell swoop. At that time, the Knicks had to face the Celtics or the Heat, and they still had some advantages. These two opponents also had their own flaws. The Knicks also had some advantages in the regular season match. It can be said that the Knicks are not as weak as any team in the Eastern Conference now. They have long been the top seed of the championship and the favorite to win the championship.

In the Western Conference, the defending champion Lakers have fewer and fewer titles. Nowadays, there are fewer people who think they can defend the title. This team has lost dominance; the Spurs have insufficient stamina and have more experience in the GDP combination, but they are definitely not physically strong. Besides, they have no role players who can stand out, which makes it destined to be difficult for them to go far; the Mavericks have never had any championship appearance since they were blacklisted, and no one thinks that the team led by Nowitzki still has a chance to win.

"If you say so, isn't the champion the only one who is me?" Wu Huang also felt that this year is a great time for the Knicks to win the championship. And once they win this championship, with their current young lineup, I believe that the Knicks will have a three-game winning streak in the next two years and it will be natural for them to start a dynasty.

On April 5, the Knicks played away against the Raptors. Before the game, the league announced the Player of the Month in March. In the end, James really won the honor. The gorilla averaged 31 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists per game in March. Especially on March 20, in the Miami Heat's away challenge to the Hawks, James played 16 of 21 shots in 31 minutes and scored 43 points. He made 16 of 21 shots in the first half. In the third quarter, he scored points in a single quarter, and made his personal total score more than 17,000 points, becoming the youngest 17,000-pointer in history.

When Wu Huang got the news, he was warming up at the Raptors' home stadium. At this time, he was full of disdain. In March, he also had personal data of 32 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists per game, and he scored 4 triple-doubles this month. Is this performance worse than the youngest 17,000-pointer gentleman? And this record will definitely be broken by him in the future. What's so amazing?

This season, Wu Huang's regular season score has reached 2174 points, and if it is unexpectedly over 00 points at the end of the season, it will exceed 00 points. Based on this data, the youngest scoring node after 10,000 points will be created by him, that is, starting from the youngest 10,000 points, and then his name will be his future. James can only rely on the advantage of entering the NBA one year earlier to 10,000 points. If Wu Huang's scoring ability will be further improved next season, James is likely to be unable to defend the level of 8,000 points.

Wu Huang has been aiming at the 8,000 and 9,000 points this season. The goal he set for himself was to surpass James before 10,000 points. So he didn't think James's record was amazing. Anyway, it was his.

The Knicks defeated the Raptors 131:118 in a later game. Wu Huang played 39 minutes in this game, scoring 46 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. At first glance, he was stimulated by the double stimulation of the player of the month and the scoring record.

It is worth mentioning that after defeating the Raptors, the Knicks also secured the ranking of the league first in advance. At the same time, they also broke the team's record of best record. Every time they won, they created new team history.

Chinese fans are happy for Emperor Wu at this moment. Although someone comes to the post bar before every game of the Knicks to shout "Uncle Wu is not a Chinese" to disgust everyone, most people regard Emperor Wu as their own, and the same is true for the parties involved. The most powerful person in the black Wu and Yao Ming is the previous group of people. Every time the Knicks are defeated or Emperor Wu and Yao Ming perform poorly, this group of people is the most excited.

Now this group of people is excited again. Yao Ming is unfortunately reimbursed at the end of the season. The little giants, who have always performed very efficiently this season, have been hit by injuries again. And it is at the end of the regular season. This makes the Rockets' sixth position in the Western Conference a tragedy. Everyone knows that the Rockets without Yao Ming is not enough to enter the playoffs, although it seems that Yao Ming's role is not that great.

This season is very strange, many injuries only broke out in March and April, and the Rockets are not the only victim...

Fox Sports reported

Injuries are like things contained in Pandora's box. Their attacks are always silent but have far-reaching impacts. Once the core players of the team are troubled by injuries, at the least the team cannot make the playoffs, and at the worst the team will become a weak team.

The Rockets and the Trail Blazers are sacrifices for "injury", and teams such as the Spurs, Lakers, Heat, Bulls, and Celtics have also encountered injuries to more or less, but the playoff strategies of these teams will not be affected by injuries.

Speaking of injuries, the Trail Blazers were snot and tears, and they couldn't finish talking bitterly for three days and three nights. Before the season started, the "No. 1 pick" center Oden bowed. Since then, centers such as Camby and Puzbila have been injured and absent, resulting in the Trail Blazers often being struggling to use people. As the season progressed, Roy was reimbursed again, and Roy's knee injury last year seriously affected his speed, bounce and sensitivity. After the operation, under the influence of the injury, Roy had already changed from "Bryant's successor" to a mediocre player.

In the West, only the Rockets can compare who is worse than the Trail Blazers. Yao Ming fell down in the position of 5 games away from the playoffs, with five stars miserable. Major players such as Brooks, Scola and Bardinger were also injured, and their playoff journey was destined to be unhappy.

But don't think that only teams with average strength have the greatest impact on their record. Even the previous league-wide overlord Spurs, when the injury hits, they can only bow their heads and admit defeat to the Knicks.

When the Spurs were playing at the same time, their record was 58 wins and 14 losses, with a winning rate of 80.6%. If Duncan, Ginobili and Parker were not out of the injury, the Spurs would not have suffered a six-game losing streak at the end of the season, and they would not have been overtaken by the Knicks.

Super strong teams such as the Celtics, Bulls, Mavericks, Heat and Lakers also have a deep understanding of injuries. Garnett, Pierce and Rondo were absent intermittently, which made them able to enter the playoffs as the third in the East; the Bulls are in the same woe with the Celtics. Before the season begins, the Bulls spent a huge amount of money to introduce power forward Boozer last summer was injured. Boozer has been recuperating until December before returning. The Bulls' rebounding champion Noah has only played nearly half of this season.

In the game; the Heat have few healthy players except the Big Three. Not long ago, they announced the reimbursement of Big Z, and the bench lineup became even more miserable; the Mavericks' No. 3 scorer Butler only played 29 games and was reimbursed for the season. Although they have since introduced players such as Stoyakovic and Brewer, no one of these players can fill the gap left by Butler; Lakers' center Bynum did not return until mid-March, of course, this is a good thing Wu Huang did.

The Hornets and the Grizzlies can also be among the miserable teams. Both teams lost their most stable scorers at critical moments in the playoffs. The Hornets lost West and the Grizzlies lost Guy. Although these two teams eventually grabbed the playoff tickets, what can the Hornets without West and the Grizzlies without Guy do in the playoffs?

Injuries from all teams this year only hit the last one or two months, almost none of the 30 teams were spared. Only a few teams such as the Knicks did not have any problems. This may add a lot of chances of winning the New Yorker. The health of the whole team can determine the fate of a team at this time.

On April 6, the Knicks played back-to-back against the 76ers away. Perhaps because they were worried that their team would be unlucky, D'Antoni only allowed the main players to replace most of the substitutes after the first half, but only a 15-point lead was almost filled by the 76ers in the third quarter. Wu Huang and Xiao Si had to play again in the fourth quarter, but the accident happened. Xiao Si, who had been playing for half a quarter, accidentally hit his knee after playing, scaring D'Antoni on the spot.

Sir S's injury made all Knicks fans feel bad. Although Evans, who came on the bench, played his role in the defensive end, grabbed three frontcourt rebounds in the last quarter, indirectly helping the Knicks to hit an attacking wave to end the 76ers. However, Sir's departure made the whole team unhappy. They did not expect such an accident to occur at the end of the regular season. If Sir's injury is serious, it would be difficult for the Knicks to win the championship.

"How is Amare's injury?" Wu Huang returned to the locker room after the game and asked this question first.

Emperor Wu had to be nervous. The Knicks' inside offense was now all up to Sir Si. Monroe was just a rookie who could add icing on the cake. Without Sir, he could not withstand the pressure of the front battlefield. The same is true for O'Neal. If the Fat Sharks were on the front line, they would probably be reimbursed for two games.

"Amare has already gone to the hospital. The injury cannot be confirmed before the detailed examination results come out. However, the team doctor's preliminary examination was not very good. He injured his old knee." The team staff's words made Wu Huang feel in a bad mood to attend the post-match press conference. After coming to the scene and answering a few questions hurriedly, he rushed to the hospital with D'Antoni.

Xiao Si's injury did not have a preliminary result until 1 a.m. When Wu Huang saw Stoudemire, the guy wrapped several layers of bandages, from his left ankle to his thigh.

"I felt a stinging feeling, my knees still hurt. I took a hard time, and it was numb at that time." Xiao Si was in a bad mood. Although the doctor said that his injury might not be too serious, the preliminary diagnosis was to take a few days off first, and then see if the injury had improved, whether it would swell, etc.? If there was still pain or swelling in a few days, then there might be a problem.

"It seems that you have to go back to New York to check before you can find out the results." D'Antoni and Wu Huang both frowned. The doctors in Philadelphia are not bad, but the athletes have their own private doctors, and only these private doctors know their physical condition best. So if Xiao S wants to determine the seriousness of the injury, he must go back to New York to find his private doctor.

After the Knicks returned to New York, major media have learned about Sir's injury from various channels. It seems that even with the best result, the Knicks may lose their inside core in the first round of the playoffs.

On April 8, the Knicks went away to play against the Cavaliers, while Sir S stayed in New York to recover his knees. The Knicks blocked the news of Sir S's injury.

The outside world did not know what the diagnosis was after Xiao Si returned to New York, but Wu Huang knew about Xiao Si's injury. The cartilage of this guy's knees showed signs of recurrence. Experts suggested that he take a week to see his recovery. If it was not ideal, he might have to undergo surgery, but once the surgery was performed, the season was reimbursed.

Xiao Si naturally didn't want to take the surgery at this time, but if his injury did not improve in a week, he would be like Roy last season. Therefore, the Knicks' coaching staff would not let him go with an injury. After all, his contract is five years, and he cannot bet on the remaining four years just because of a playoff.

"The disease is indeed a hidden danger. Although David Li is a bit bad in all aspects, he is not injured!" Although Emperor Wu comforted Xiao Si on the surface, the latter was quite touched. But he was actually very upset. He really felt that the Knicks had hope of winning the championship this year, but Xiao Si was not that the case was injured.

Once Si was injured, O'Neal could not rest anymore. The fat man had been raised for almost a month and his physical condition had been adjusted. He came out to find his game status in the last few regular season games. This was the original plan.

Even though the Knicks have fewer inside cores away, they are still very stable in playing teams like the Cavaliers. Wu Huang scored 40 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists and 6 steals in the whole game. O'Neal returned from his full state and played for 25 minutes, scoring 15 points and 8 rebounds. The fat man's condition looks pretty good. But this playing time is already O'Neal's limit. When it comes to the intensity of the playoffs, it is estimated that O'Neal can only play 20 minutes and not more, otherwise this fat man will be reimbursed at any time.

On April 10, the Knicks continued to play away and finally defeated their first-round playoff rival Indiana Pacers 110:109.

Before this game, the Knicks could not determine whether their first round opponent was the Pacers or the Bucks, but after winning the Pacers, the Bucks locked in the seventh position in advance, and the Knicks' opponent was naturally the Pacers.

The Pacers caused a lot of trouble for the Knicks today. Although Granger's performance declined this year, he still had the upper hand in Garynalli. Hibert, a big center, has also begun to mature, and his deterrence in the inside made Wu Huang's breakthrough a little afraid. Rookie Paul George seems to be a young man with great potential, and the performance of Collison and Hansblu also makes the Knicks unable to catch any handle.

The Knicks have no firepower output from Sir in the inside today, and the defense of Hibert and Hansblu makes it much more difficult for the Knicks to break through. Once they don’t feel outside the three-point line, it’s really hard to deal with this opponent.

If it weren't for Wu Huang's final left-hand winning goal today, the Knicks would have a greater chance of losing in overtime. They happened to catch up with their three-pointers today, and the team made 10 of 40 three-pointers, which was exactly 25% of the shooting percentage, which almost made a mistake on the away game.

Wu Huang scored 41 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 7 steals in the whole game. In the final stage of the regular season, Wu Huang performed a 4-game 3-game 40+ performance. But this is not a good thing. Instead, it shows that once Xiao Si is away, the Knicks will become Wu Huang's team. It is equivalent to saying that as long as the Pacers use heavy troops to defend Wu Huang in the playoffs, the Knicks may face the danger of being blackened.

"Others must stand up!" The New York Times directly named Iguodala and Gallinari after the Knicks almost made a mistake away.

If Xiao Si is absent in the first round, then these two people must stand up, otherwise Wu Huang can only win by winning by winning by winning by winning by himself. It is not impossible to be blackened by someone. The Pacers team said it is strong, but it is a bit too underestimated to defeat the opponent by relying on him.

The Knicks fans who don’t know the true situation of Xiao Si’s injury at this moment are not so worried. Many people are still thinking about it. Although Xiao Si is injured, the fourth month of the "Holy Master" is stable. Why do you feel a bit conspiring when you think about it?

On April 12, after the Knicks defeated the Suns at home at 112:108, some fans of Wu Huang started to joke.

The reason why Knicks fans are relieved is that Iguodala and Garlinari, who were named before this game, both stood up. The former scored 20 points and 10 rebounds, while the latter contributed 18 points and 5 rebounds. Wu Huang only scored 20 points in this game, but with 18 assists, the Knicks successfully won 66 wins in the season. They are only one victory away from making their historical record reach the top ten.

But after defeating the sun, a difficult problem also followed.

The Knicks' last regular season game of the season was a scam, back-to-back away game, and the opponent was the third-place Celtics in the East. This schedule made D'Antoni suddenly feel embarrassed, especially when Sir Jr. is already reimbursed. Do they need to fight the Celtics away for a tenth record in history?

The Celtics will definitely not let the Knicks win such a key victory at home. In addition to defending the dignity of the giants, the Knicks are fighting back to back away. The Celtics are not sure that they will be afraid of the opponent. Moreover, these two teams are likely to face each other in the Eastern Conference Finals, and they must be more cautious if they don’t compete for the Bunny. If they don’t even dare to show their bayonets in such a game, how can they play in the playoffs?

"Do you want to give up this game?" D'Antoni was in a dilemma after defeating the Suns.

At this moment, Wu Huang was also in a difficult situation like Xiao Wang. Faced with this difficult multiple-choice question, he also scratched his head. Although reason told him that he should give up this game, the temptation of winning 67 is too great. It is difficult for him to make a decision when he thinks of this. Such opportunities to create team history are not available every year.

"Damn, this is 67 wins!" Emperor Wu was so uncomfortable. This record itself is a difficult achievement. If the Knicks win 67 wins this year, other teams would have to win 68 wins if they wanted to squeeze them out of their top ten in history.
Chapter completed!
