Chapter 351: The witty referee
After 20 minutes of the midfield, Wu Huang's resilience helped him recover some of his vitality. At least he felt that he didn't need to worry about his physical strength being exhausted in the third quarter, but he didn't plan to play the whole game today, otherwise he would really enter the play mode in the fourth quarter.
In the third quarter, Wu Huang really wanted his teammates to come forward to help share the pressure. He didn't have much selfish desire to pass the ball and played very selflessly. But I don't know if it was not very good with the style of the game. The Knicks fell into a scoring drought as soon as the second half was in the beginning of the second half, including Wu Huang himself, and he couldn't score a goal. It seems that he was too selfless or not.
At 10:11, Emperor Wu passed two consecutively and rushed to the basket, but his final layup was covered by the basket.
New York fans were stunned. Today's Holy Master is not normal, and his shooting is like a curse.
After passing Chamos and Bosh in this goal, Wu Huang obviously had no time to find where the basket was. At least he was in his best condition and could no longer rely on his personal performance to turn the tide.
The Heat's offense is not much better. James almost made a three-pointer in the penalty area not long ago, but the benefits of the number of giants are reflected in this time. The fault tolerance rate and scoring speed of the three people are better than that of the two, not to mention that the Knicks are not scoring at all now.
D'Antoni requested a timeout at 9:32, but the Knicks scored for the first time in the second half at 8:06. This goal Wu Huang hit the bottom line alone and attracted the defense of three Heat players. After being surrounded, he barely hit the basketball and passed it to Xiao Si who was inserted from the back row. The latter used a powerful and powerful one-handed dunk to get the first point in the second half for the Knicks.
The score was 51:62. Even if the Knicks scored a goal, the score behind still reached 10 points. The Heat scored an attack wave of 8:2 in the third quarter, while the Knicks finally started after 3 minutes and 54 seconds in the second half.
"It's nothing. It's already bad in four minutes." Emperor Wu could only use this kind of erotic words to inspire morale. Sometimes such encouragement is better than those long-term speeches.
"Is the boss so powerful?"
"I haven't ejaculated for almost ten minutes!"
"fuk! You're so embarrassed to say it!"
The Knicks players looked for opportunities to complain to each other, and their morale improved a lot.
As for the one who said he hadn't shot for nearly ten minutes before, it was Garlinari. Today, his condition is really the same as a horse, but D'Antoni trusted this fellow countryman. Unfortunately, Wu Huang's assist was wasted by Garlinari again. Fortunately, O'Neal got a rebound and made a tip-in at the basket, otherwise Wade would have been almost done, and the Knicks might have been beaten to fight back again.
After that, Wu Huang finally stopped passing the ball to Gallinari, and signaled him to cut into the basket for two consecutive attacks and not to run from the outside.
D'Antoni then made moves. Gallinari, who could only cut into the basket, was not as useful as Tony Allen. The Knicks' lineup finally became: Emperor Wu, Tony Allen, Iguodala, Radmanovich, and S.
Radmanovic is a lucky player for the Knicks today. It is not that he scored another three-pointer after he came on the court, but that the Knicks' offense was much smoother after he came up and his luck became much better.
At 6 minutes and 52 seconds in the third quarter, Wu Huang was not the center of this attack and did not encounter any balls throughout the whole process. However, after Iguodala's shot popped up, he fell on his head. Wu Huang jumped up and reached out to get his sixth rebound in the game. His luck in scoring began to improve.
Bosh hurriedly rushed over to make up for defense, but Wu Huang used a realistic shooting fake action to shake the opponent, and made a foul witty foul.
"Just kidding, I've made 1 of 9 shots, so how dare I shoot easily?" Wu Huang had the chance to take a shot before the defense, but his shooting percentage of 1 of 9 shots made him choose a more confident scoring method: free throws!
No matter how bad Wu Huang felt, he was sure of free throws. After making both free throws, he finally scored 4 points, which also allowed him to find a way to score. Free throws are undoubtedly a good choice.
James also thought so. In the past two minutes, the Gorilla missed the goal difference, which did not help the Heat further widen the score gap. The experienced James understood that this was a physical problem. It was not that he had no strength, but that his arm muscles could no longer exert force as accurately as usual, so he also felt that committing a foul at this moment to free throws is the best way to score.
When Wu Huang saw the gorilla again, he used his exclusive crab step. The Knicks' defense line was overturned for a while. It was too difficult for James to stop him, especially when O'Neal was not present. It was too difficult to count on the ski man and Xiao Si to deal with James. They really couldn't stand this kind of rugby-like style.
The Knicks dealt with this situation in the first few games, relying on an irresistible attack, and there will always be surprises coming out to offset the damage caused by James, but today they do not have such a means to counterattack, and someone must stand up at this time.
"He's turning again!" The Heat players soon saw Emperor Wu's counterattack. When no surprises appeared, Emperor Wu had to rely on himself to save the team. He chose to use a turn and break through to create a foul.
The Heat players have already suffered the loss of Wu Huang turning around and breaking through. This bastard can always turn around and turn into a place that they can't reach during the breakthrough, and then they can only watch him use his moves that he has no time to make up for the shot.
But Wu Huang’s breakthrough today is still different from the previous few games. Today, he felt bad, so he would continue to walk under the basket after turning around and actively seek physical contact.
At this time, the test is Wu Huang's mastery of shooting timing. If you want to shoot in the penalty area, you must not be judged by the opponent's insider to shoot the shot, otherwise you will be suffocated. Wu Huang needs to find an opportunity to make the opponent's insider unable to react at the first time to shoot. This tests the player's reaction and hand skills, especially for a point guard who does not rely on shooting after the confrontation. Wu Huang cannot use his body to open the way like James, he can only use his skills to achieve his goal.
At 6:11, James dribbled into the penalty area at the top of the arc, completed the first three steps and suddenly jumped, completing the so-called jump layup. At this time, Xiao S, who lost his position, could only use a foul to block it, but James' 2+1 ability is really outstanding, and fouls are sometimes meaningless. This time, James successfully pressed Xiao S to complete the layup. Fortunately, the basketball bumped and bumped on the basket several times, and finally got out.
After James made one of two free throws, Wu Huang immediately responded to his offensive end. His breakthrough met Wade to assist in defense, but Wu Huang Huang's outstanding sense of space allowed him to find a wonderful route and turnaround. After turning, he lost both of them to the defensive position.
Joel Anthony came to help defend from the weak side, at the cost of letting go of the same threatening Xiao Si.
"Damn it, I'll still not let me score!" Wu Huang had seen Sir who was empty in the penalty area in an instant. Of course, this ball was passed. After Stodmeier received the ball, Joel Anthony turned around and didn't have time to return to the defensive position. Sir Sir took a step forward and jumped and dunked directly. No one could block such an attack.
Wu Huang's next few attacks were similar to the script. He found that it was difficult to score by himself no matter how he played. He made continuous breakthroughs against James with the active defense of Joel Anthony and Bosh, and finally he could only choose to pass more securely, because he could always see those opportunities for passing, and it was unreasonable that he chose to do it himself.
The series of breakthroughs between the core teams in the middle of the third quarter made the game look better. Wu Huang gradually couldn't feel his physical loss. He knew that this was a sign that his body had completely entered the game state, and at this time he could never go off the court to rest, because the body would break away from this state as soon as it stopped and would become more tired. In the fourth quarter, he would have no state at all. Now he must keep his body moving.
James's condition is the same. Even during the timeout, the two of them will not sit on the bench, but stand and listen to the coach's arrangement of tactics. When the timeout is up, they will return to the court immediately to prevent their bodies from pausing for too long and from getting out of the game state.
The third quarter was 2 minutes and 03 seconds, with a score of 62:74, and the Knicks were 12 points behind.
Wu Huang held the ball on the offensive end, and he found that he had not shot for a long time, let alone scored. At this moment, looking at Bibi, who was unable to take care of himself by his sudden life, this old guy had already started to step back and defend, and dared not get so close again. Wu Huang's desire to shoot increased again. With 16 seconds left in the offensive time, he shot a basketball from the three-point line...
The New York fans who shouted Wu Huang's name at the scene stopped and shouted, staring at the beautiful arc with nervous expressions, silently praying in their hearts that the basketball could enter the basket.
Wu Huang hasn't hit a three-pointer today. This seems to be the first time this season that he has almost finished three quarters and failed to hit a three-pointer. Wu Huang has never tried a whole game this season but failed to score three-pointers.
"Bang!" This ironclad sound made all the fans sigh in unison, but they still didn't feel the touch!
D'Antoni also pounded his hand on the sidelines with a pity. The Knicks need this goal so much now.
"Mom, is it me who mocked Durant for his retribution?" Emperor Wu finally regretted that he had lost his character a few days ago. Why did he mock him for his ironwork for nothing?
Wu Huang was regretting his behavior of losing before the game. O'Neal, who had just replaced the court, sat James out of the baseline with a pressing move at the basket, easily got the rebound, and then turned left and pressed Bosh with a reasonable move to score the ball.
This old ball player was so clever at the critical moment, and this goal immediately caused a cheer in Madison Garden!
"This ball is OK!" When Wu Huang saw that the referee did not call a foul, he was so happy to step forward and beat O'Neal hard! The fat man played very cunningly on the court, and he became more able to use his body, which is a manifestation of becoming a spirit.
"If I had returned to 15 years ago with my current awareness and technology, Jordan would not dare to come back then!" O'Neal would say this occasionally when bragging with his teammates. Of course, if this was exposed, he would definitely not admit it.
In the last two minutes of the third quarter, Wu Huang began to frequently play pick-and-roll with O'Neal. The fat man showed his desperate spirit to cooperate with Wu Huang on the outside. You know, the young O'Neal was unwilling to play pick-and-roll so often, but at this moment, in order to surpass Kobe and get another ring in the last season of his career, O'Neal was actually more active than when he was young.
Kobe couldn't help but snorted a few times in front of TV. If the lazy superstar in history was so active when he was in the first team with him, their combination would not have been disbanded. However, the boss may have forgotten that "lazy" was just his reason for complaining about O'Neal, but this was not the reason for the OK group to break up. If O'Neal was not lazy, he would have left at that time.
James suffered a big loss before, but soon after, he found a chance to retaliate. When he saw Wu Huang and O'Neal's pick-and-roll pass after passing the ball, he rushed forward with lightning speed to cover the bell.
However, the gorilla underestimated O'Neal's big hands and terrifying ball grabbing power. His quick slap did not drop the basketball, but instead hit O'Neal's big hands. Then O'Neal then bounced away with pain. When he rushed forward, he knocked over poor Bosh. A big meat ball flew into the penalty area and put the ball into the basket.
"Dou!" James not only did not produce any effect in this shot, but instead gave O'Neal a chance to 2+1. The latter turned into a big shark again and took the overlord step on the field. Madison Garden was caught in a burst of warm cheers.
After scoring this goal, O'Neal was very relieved because he was fucking James, the third he hated, and the first two were naturally Kobe and Barkley.
Barkley was also commenting on this game. ********This is of course just to complain about James, and to brag about what would happen if he had been back then, and then belittled O'Neal in front of him...
This bastard is actually not very popular. His mouth is too smelly, but those who are familiar with the history of the NBA in the 1980s and 1990s have to admit that he was really bored back then. After all, the only one who can make Rodman dare not be arrogant in front of him is Buckley.
In the last attack in the third quarter, James held the ball and waited until the last eight seconds before starting to start.
This style of play is not very suitable for James, because the defense will have enough time to set up a defensive formation and be ready for it.
Although James' breakthrough is more courageous, he does not have enough changes. Even if he uses four steps to make a layup, it is not easy to break through the iron barrel formation that he has prepared. Perhaps this is why he likes to pass the ball at critical moments. Although the defensive team's line is ready, the defensive attention is on him, and his teammates will have better scoring opportunities. Passing the ball is undoubtedly the best choice at this time.
In this attack, when the timer reached the last 15th second, LeBron entered the supreme realm of "no self", and every subtle change on the field was reflected in his eyes. Countless choices flashed in his mind: should I pass the ball, pass the ball, pass the ball, pass the ball, pass the ball, pass or pass the ball... After 100 cycles, the timer has entered the last eight seconds, so LeBron's aerial relay after breaking through is picturesque, and his teammates understand it, and he does not move at all. The basketball drew a beautiful arc and flew directly out of the bottom line...
"I'm shooting later!" James cursed in his heart "Bosh's stupidity" and then explained to the referee cleverly that his shot was a shot rather than a pass.
The referee took the lead: fart! This is a pass, so, 0 shots, 0 assists, and 1 turnover.
"Damn it, I was scared..." Wu Huang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. At this moment, the score was 67:78, and the Knicks were 11 points behind. If the Heat scored this goal and entered the fourth quarter, the Knicks' morale would drop to the dangerous line. The advantage of 13 points was too great. They would kneel down 80% today.
But now James made a pass mistake this time and gave the Knicks the chance to move the score back to single digits, because he left him with 5.6 seconds of offensive time.
"Haha, you're done. I will definitely hit the buzzer-beater, and it will be a three-pointer!" D'Antoni called a timeout. Wu Huang looked provocative when he passed by James, but James only gave Wu Huang a cold expression in reply and did not respond at all.
"He doesn't know how to shoot, he hasn't made a shot today. He deliberately said that in order to make us focus on him." James said after returning to the bench. Although he ignored Emperor Wu just now, he was concerned about what Emperor Wu said. He felt that this was a trick by Emperor Wu who deliberately asked them to put defense on him. This Chinese is very cunning!
Spoelstra felt that the opposite was the opposite. Wu Huang might just let them think so, but his real intention was to shoot himself. However, James's idea was correct. This was a multiple-choice question for 55, and it made sense to choose any choice. But according to Wu Huang's shooting percentage of 1 of 10 shots today, James's choice was definitely correct and it was the most beneficial to them. Even if he guessed wrongly, he didn't have to worry too much about Wu Huang's shooting percentage.
After the game started again, O'Neal sent the frontcourt ball, and D'Antoni sent three shooters and an inside line with range: Wu Huang, Gallinari, Radmanovic and S.
In fact, the Knicks' arrangement is very simple. Wu Huang's words just now are purely his habitual actions. His only attempt is to make the Heat players spend more time on their brains.
But in fact, whoever they will shoot this ball depends on who can run a better chance. When the chances are similar, even if Wu Huang made 1 of 20 shots today, the Knicks will hand the ball over to him.
In this offense, when the timer reached the last 5.6 seconds, Wu Huang received the basketball. At this time, he immediately entered the supreme realm of "no self". Every subtle change on the court was reflected in his eyes. Countless choices flashed in his mind: Should I pass the ball, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, or shoot, or shoot... After 1,000 cycles, the timer has entered the last 4 seconds, so Wu Huang's jump shot after breaking through is picturesque. His teammates understand it and don't move at all. The basketball drew a beautiful arc and flew out of the field directly...
"Wait a minute, I'm passing!" Wu Huang must not let his shooting percentage become 1 of 11 shots. He would rather apply for a turnover!
The referee took the lead: Don't make a fuss, this is a shooting, so, 1 shot, 0 assists, and 0 turnovers.
Chapter completed!
