Chapter 429: The Holy Hierarch who was trained
As the saying goes, there is no championship without defense, especially when entering the finals, it is a defensive competition. Even the Knicks, who give people the impression that they are not good at this, also showed championship-level defense in the finals.?? Yesterday, the first game of the NBA Finals, the Knicks and the Thunder both played high-quality defense. It was very difficult for both sides to score one point, but New York still played a more terrifying defense, especially in the first half that the Thunder's offense was completely silent and finally won.
The Thunder only scored points in the festival, which showed the defensive strength of the Knicks in this game. After the opening, the Knicks used extremely aggressive and scalable defense to double-team Durant, and at the same time used excellent fill-up and assisted defense to limit the Thunder's most terrifying breakthrough, counterattack and unball run. On the Thunder, they implemented similar contraction defense against Hugo's strong personal abilities, always keeping someone in front of him, limiting him to attack the basket, and also limiting his long-range shooting threat. However, the Holy Master, who has experienced the Heat's stronger defense test, has obviously adapted to such defense at this time. The Thunder is far inferior to the Heat in terms of defense intensity. Therefore, in terms of limiting Hugo, the Thunder did not get a good expected effect, which also made the Knicks score 31 points in the quarter, and Wu Huang was even more unstoppable.
In Gasol's defense, the Thunder used Ibaka to guard the single player. He tried his best to stick to his national team captain when defending, so that Gasol could not get easy holding and shooting opportunities. However, facing his large number of assisted defense tasks, Ibaka, who was dedicated to it, did not do any task well in the end, not only did not help the team intercept Hugo's breakthrough, but the task of blocking Gasol was completed even worse!
However, after the opening, Battier defended Durant with Battier. Although Battier's degree and height are not as good as Durant, he is experienced and able to predict Durant's running route in advance. When he really can't keep up, he can also help his teammates who switched defense to make up for the placement. The Knicks used a large number of defense replacements and cooperative defense to make Durant not get a good shooting opportunity in the whole game. The Thunder core finally scored only 15 points and 6 rebounds, and the other Thunder's offensive core, Westbrook scored only 17 points and 5 assists. In the first game of the finals, the two strongest scoring points of the Thunder were frozen, and the Knicks' defense played a very good effect.
In the series of competitions, Wu Huang, who scored 33 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists, also told everyone with practical actions that he is the MVP and the king on the court. In the Madison Garden Arena where the mountains and seas were tsunamis, the New York Emperor used his unstoppable breakthrough and a steady shooting to help the Knicks beat the Thunder 119-92 27 points, and also made a good start for the entire series.
"Winning means everything. We play better than our opponents every minute, and victory will naturally not slip away from our fingers. The first game is just the beginning. We have to win two home games and then go to Oklahoma to completely end the opponent." Wu Huang was not losing after the game. Continuous pressure on Thunder players are good and bad. Wu Huang felt that this kind of suppression would outweigh the disadvantages, so he did it.
Today he made 10 of 19 shots, 6 of 11 three-pointers, and 7 of 8 free throws, and once again he played high efficiency. After the game, Wu Huang said: "I know how they will attack. The Thunder have always been through this playoffs, but we originally wanted to play a few more attacks than them, and then win the ball and leave, but in the end we played a lot of attacks than them, and the victory caught us off guard."
Emperor Wu was not ready to stop mocking him anymore. Accumulating character was of no use to him at all. If he was low-key, these people would think he was timid, so Emperor Wu would no longer be lazy to be polite to his opponents. In his eyes, these people were all a bunch of naughty men. The more he was savage, the more powerful he was, the less these wastes would dare to provoke him.
A New York reporter mentioned his excellent defense against Westbrook in the first half at the press conference. Of course, the Holy Master avoided the opponent's play in the second half. Anyway, Wu Huang led the team to beat the Knicks now, so this black spot no longer exists. Even if it was mentioned by the media on the Thunder side, Wu Huang still had countless excuses to explain.
"This question is very good. Before the game, I told my teammates and fans that I just wanted to defend the most powerful player among the opponents and the most important point, so Russell and Kevin can be handed over to me." Wu Huang's words made Bathir a little annoyed, and he was still not very used to this kind of naked snatch.
But Battier didn't have the heart to care about these things. Championships were what he valued the most. Therefore, the Holy Lord opened his mouth and continued: "Although Russell's talent group can shoot the ball anywhere on the court, I just want to use my body to stick to him and make his shots difficult. There were several times he got rid of me in the game, and there were several times I was not satisfied with my performance, but most of the time I freeze him. Overall, I gave myself 8o points, and I felt that I could do better."
After blowing his defense with his front feet, Wu Huang turned around and evaluated his offense: "For me, whether it is defense or offense, the most important thing is to stay aggressive. I don't think anyone in the league can break through my defense, nor do I think someone can defend me, because I always pay attention to the opponent's next level of defense, study their position, rotation and next moves, so I rarely fall into the opponent's trap. I say that you can't just send one person to defend me, and then let him and me in an isolated place one-on-one, which will definitely not work, because a mere person cannot defend me, no matter who it is. But what surprised me was that the Thunder used two people to defend me today, but they still did not defend me, which disappointed me a little. Maybe they should end it well, such as watching the Heat's videotape is a good note."
"You are so arrogant. Are you afraid of being caught and beaten up when you go to the Thunder? "Taylor Swift used at least five phone calls to summon Emperor Wu to himself. Originally, Emperor Wu wanted to go to the side of the shredded radish, but was defeated by the little singer's soul-chasing phone call.
"Nonsense, no matter whether I am arrogant or not, they all want to find me and beat me up." Emperor Wu expressed his disdain for this. He asked his bodyguard to drive his car to stalk the reporters outside, and he ran to the girl's house. Although there must be some elite paparazzi that he can't get rid of, Emperor Wu no longer cared about this little thing. As long as he was not photographed on the face, can he swell his back?
The one in this flag is definitely not very good, because the next day Wu Huang saw his back at Christine's house. A magazine was so conspicuously placed on the coffee cup in front of him. The back on it was pranked by some bastard, and he almost pried his name together.
Emperor Wu finally felt a little embarrassed, and seeing Christine's stern face, he was a little doubtful if the coffee was drugged?
"I have stomachache, give Emma the coffee." After Emperor Wu said this, he finally felt too shameless.
"Which Emma?" Emma Watson asked casually when he walked out of the bathroom.
"Damn it, why does it feel a little wrong??" Emperor Wu knew that there was something wrong with Little Hermione's outfit. This bitch was only wearing a gauze pajama, and he could see clearly that Emma Watson didn't wear it in her underwear. This is too much! Christine is still here. Should she wear this outfit when she is away?
Christine was looking at Emperor Wu with interest at this moment. Seeing this bastard still pretending to be fluctuating, she deliberately teased: "Why, does Emma's pajama look good?"
Emperor Wu's expression did not move at all, and he quickly shook his head, then looked down at his watch, and was about to find an excuse to escape, Christine had already bent down and picked up a very disharmonious tool and threw it in front of him.
"Oh my God! It's okay if you grind tofu normally, but you actually play with this heavy taste!" Emperor Wu asked the evil man to complain first, "Is this thing a cure for constipation?"
Emma Watson stood behind Christine and blinked at him. The cold girl was already angry with him and snorted coldly: "You really knew it long ago, but do you think I am blind?"
"I like your eyes!" Emperor Wu didn't say anything at all. He was preparing to resist to the end.
"Sister, use this to deal with him!" Emma Watson took out an electric stick-like object from somewhere and handed it over, then hid behind Christine and went to watch the fun.
Emperor Wu now understood, but he didn't know whether it was a good or a bad thing. He was quick to react and was about to turn around and escape first, but unexpectedly, he felt a numbness behind him and he had already lost to the sand.
"I sprained my ankle!" Emperor Wu screamed.
"Trouble him!" Christine stopped taking this trick. As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Wu saw that little Hermione took out the handcuffs that he was very familiar with, and quickly clamped his hands.
"I don't resist because I don't want to hurt you. Since you want to show off, then show off." Emperor Wu could not pretend to be garlic, but the handcuffs could not cope with him. When he bought it, he didn't choose that particularly strong model. Women might not be able to break free, but he could easily pull it off with force. He had seen "instinct".
Christine held the evil tool that was also bought by Emperor Wu himself, and her face was full of threats: "Have you seen 'instinct'?"
Emperor Wu shook his head vigorously: "No."
Emma Watson took out a bunch of clips and said with a smile: "Look, I just said it's useless to him. We can only use these things to clean up this guy. By the way, there are still a few unused candles in my room."
"Hmph, you usually have a lot of tricks." Christine was a little uncomfortable again.
"I think you have a lot of tools." Emperor Wu was not very happy either. These two bitches must have used them with him on their backs. He kept remembering how much he used some consumables he used, but in the end they consumed much faster than he usually calculated.
Upon hearing this, the two girls glared at Emperor Wu: "Don't be proud, you can't hide any more in a while."
"Just, I don't believe you can blow me up!" Emperor Wu was still complaining in his heart! But judging from this situation, it was a blessing or a disaster today. Otherwise, even if the handcuffs in his hand could not be removed and his feet were not tied up, the situation was not right. He would have run away long ago. But now it seems that there is a real double-flying feast waiting for him in a while, so he won't run away if he beat him to death!
"Okay, you will know what you are thinking when you look at your bad looks." Emma Watson said, and actually put a rope for a dog tied up directly on Wu Huang's neck. He had never seen this thing before. After a closer look, the other end of the rope was actually forked. Christine held the other end, and the two girls completely humiliated him from the left and right.
"Mom, the Holy Master who cannot defeat on the court was trained by you off the court." Emperor Wu thought about the extremely shameless "Wang", which showed that his face was almost invincible.
The next day, when Wu Huang came to the training hall with a yawn, he secretly regretted it. The first two matches of the finals still had only one day off. It would be fine if he didn't rest at home. He had such a fun yesterday, which was a bit damn. Today, his physical strength obviously did not return to his best condition. It was easy to play with such a gameplay, especially after the Thunder team's morale is good today, Wu Huang regretted that he was crazy yesterday.
"But when encountering the situation yesterday, you have to use all your strength to say anything!" Emperor Wu knew that even if he chose again, he would still choose to devote himself to his work and die. Who said that this kind of opportunity to fly together cannot be more rare? If he chose to refuse because of a bullshit game, then he would be kicked by a donkey.
At the pre-match press conference, the third young master of the Thunder conveyed confidence to the outside world to win the second game, especially Durant has adjusted his mentality well in one day.
"We watched the video with the coach yesterday. This team is completely different from the Spurs. We are not returning to defense and have not used our bodies well. This round will be completely different from the previous round. We must adjust our mentality and style of play." In the finals, Durant was questioned and criticized by the outside world because of the sluggish start. In this regard, Durant said that he is no longer sensitive to these things.
"It's okay, it doesn't matter. I'm not that sensitive. I know how the world works. I understand, so it's okay," Durant said. "No matter what questions the reporters ask me, no matter how fans criticize me, I'm not too sensitive, so I can accept it. It's just that sometimes I fight back for myself because we are ordinary people, but no matter what, I know that I can always rebound unless one day I stop playing. The reality is that I know where my abilities are, and the downturn in the first game also created an opportunity for me to re-examine myself, so I can make progress again."
Before the second game of the finals, Durant said that the goal of the first two away games was to win one. The goal has not completely failed yet, and the second game has not started yet, isn't it?
"Our goal here is to win a game. At this time, I think both teams have the ability to win at the opponent's home court. I think we have a chance to win in the first game, but we let the victory slip away. Today we will seize the opportunity. This game will be a test, and we will definitely play better than we played on the court." Westbrook also expressed his confidence that he became more and more courageous before the game.
Before the game, Emperor Wu was abnormal and did not continue to be arrogant. This was not because he suddenly wanted to keep a low profile, but because he was too lazy to take too much saliva, but because he was actually a little tired.
Just now, when he was changing clothes in the locker room, there were a few red marks on his body. These were the traces left by the two little bitches yesterday. My mother actually dripped wax on him. It is conceivable that playing so crazy will certainly be tiring. Even if his recovery ability is distorted, it does not mean that he can do whatever he wants without restraint. Wu Huang's physical condition today can reach up to 60 points. It is still very difficult to play for 40 minutes in the intensity of the playoffs.
"So, today we must end the battle in the third quarter." Wu Huang wanted to finish the work after the third quarter today. It seemed that he still felt that he had less playing time in the game.
In the second game, there was no change in both teams, and the Knicks didn't even change their tactics, so the winner didn't need to make too much adjustments.
D'Antoni didn't say much before the game, and Wu Huang didn't pretend to be 13 to give a speech, because this is the finals and there is no need for the head coach to mobilize again. The Knicks felt very good after the opening game. Bathir made two three-pointers, and they started with a 1o:3 attack wave.
The Thunder seem to have not come back to their senses from the first game. Although they said it nicely before the game, only Durant scored 2 points after playing 3 minutes.
Brooks hurriedly requested a timeout, and the little schoolbag finally began to explode after that. He hit two consecutive three-pointers in 35 seconds, and Thunder quickly narrowed the gap.
The Knicks' "one-size-fits-all" today is still tangenting towards Durant and Westbrook, but it is not that they are going to let Durant score, and it is also the same thing to limit him. This strategy is originally two-sided. This sword can be Che Durant or someone else outside Che Durant. It depends on who feels better.
Durant feels good now, and the Knicks immediately cut it with this knife, and used two defensive players to separate Durant. They didn't believe that Harden and Ibaka could be so accurate.
"Bang bang bang!" After the Knicks stopped, the Thunder made three loud noises in a row!
Harden smashed two pieces of iron, Westbrook also contributed one. The other two of the third young master of Thunder obviously did not have the touch of Durant.
Wu Huang was also targeted very well today, but the Thunder miscalculated. Wu Huang originally planned to be an honest traditional point guard today, and he would never break through and shoot easily. He focused on controlling the rhythm and passing the ball, and it seemed like that. Most people thought that Wu Huang was dealing with the Thunder double-teamed. He could not think that he just wanted to retain his physical strength, just wanted to be lazy.
Of course, Battier made 3 of 3 three-pointers after the opening. After Iguodala also made a three-pointer, they gained a double-digit advantage with 2o:1o. This is why everyone doesn't feel that Wu Huang is lazy. His teammates are in good shape today. In this case, Wu Huang of course has to feed his teammates who are hot. Even the Thunder in the second half of the first quarter dare not double-team him, and took the initiative to move the defensive forces to Iguodala and Battier.
Wu Huang still did not attack by himself at this time. In the eyes of fans, this is of course the Holy Master believed in his teammates. Although Gasol was not in good shape today and failed to hit the pass from Wu Huang twice, Wu Huang believed in his teammates today. He only made two moves in the first quarter and scored 2 points, but scored 4 assists. This is the ironclad evidence that he believed in his teammates.
After controlling Bathir and Iguodala in the Thunder Festival, they narrowed the score gap several times.
Westbrook came to perform the last blow in this quarter and began to break through with 4 seconds left, but Wu Huang suddenly became energetic this time. Don’t think he didn’t use much force throughout the quarter, but he really thought he was depressed. Even if his physical condition was not good, he wouldn’t be like this in the first quarter. Westbrook almost lost the ball when he was careless. When he picked up the ball again, the attack time was approaching, so he could only take a hasty move. As a result, his body lost balance and fell to the ground. The basketball was thrown out of the field by him. The Thunder fell 6 points behind 22:28 in this quarter.
Wu Huang's defense received cheers from all the fans this time. Although the data of 2 points, 1 rebound and 4 assists is a bit ugly, as long as you find a way to continue to increase the number of assists. After the score breaks through the double digits, his entire data table will become better. The most important thing is that Westbrook only scored 4 points in the first quarter, and only assists were 2 times. So although Wu Huang looked soft in the first quarter, he still played at the defensive end. Although the strategy of preventing shots but not preventing breakthroughs made the inside teammates tight, it did make it difficult for Westbrook to be powerful on the court.
Bathir and Iguodala are the players with the most scores in the Knicks quarter, scoring 11 points and 8 points respectively, but the two insiders and Wu Huang were relatively low in scoring, and the three of them combined only had 8 points. Commentaries and fans from various countries attributed the reason to the Thunder's targeting arrangement.
David Si strengthened his attack in the second quarter and kept using his all-round skills to hit the basket. Perkins was beaten into two fouls in the first quarter. The strongest shield under the Thunder basket had cracks. David Si, who was not very good, began to sway his face to break through.
With 9 minutes and 42 seconds left in the second quarter, Gallinari's breakthrough attracted three Thunder players to defend and was forced to pass the ball...
After receiving the ball, David West continued to break through to the basket, facing Perkins with a dunk!
Perkins' pace was obviously too slow, and the result of forcing him to go forward and block the block was naturally an unintentional foul. Although his hand blocking the basketball hit David Si's nose, blood was flowing for a while, but this small injury could not affect the opponent's combat effectiveness, and would only inspire the opponent's more violent attack.
David Si briefly bandaged on the sidelines and returned to the court. His bloodshed also became the starter for the Knicks' offense. Amid the cheers of the home fans, morale rose continuously. Garlinari took advantage of the situation to make two consecutive shots. David Si continued to play Perkins after returning to the court. After the two of them fought continuously, David Si suddenly turned around and hooked up and added two more points, and finally made the Thunder ask for a timeout.
Knicks veterans Bathir and David Si performed well, and Durant, the Thunder's core, was also a little uncontrollable. The Knicks were about to widen the score difference, but Durant made a timely three-pointer, and after misalignment, he scored five points in a row to bring back the Thunder's decline.
Westbrook followed Durant, and also scored 2+1 on Gasol, who had just played.
Wu Huang said there was no need to worry. This was the time for him to respond, but after the breakthrough, Wu Huang also made another pass assist, helping David score in the West mid-range shot, and got the sixth assist.
Of course, Thunder players don’t know why Wu Huang has so few attacks today. How do they deal with Wu Huang’s scoring in their defensive arrangements, but they don’t have many solutions to pass the ball against Wu Huang. At this moment, Thunder’s head coach Brooks thought Wu Huang was taking advantage of their loophole to attack. He never thought that Wu Huang was lazy.
"Do you know what the biggest gap between you and me is?" After Wu Huang assisted his opponent to score, he was embarrassed to lick his face and mocked Westbrook.
Westbrook endured this time. Since the end of the last game, he secretly vowed that he would never pay attention to any provocations from Emperor Wu in this round of series. So in the game today, he was like he had his mouth closed. This would be just a focused dribbling attack, not distracting from the opponent's trash talk, so that he would not have the chance to intercept the ball. Maybe that's what he planned.
But I have to say that the threat of Emperor Wu is so great that he has reached the point where even his every move is misunderstood.
Westbrook didn't know that today was his best chance to defeat this opponent, but facing the somewhat abnormal Emperor Wu, he was more careful and did not dare to act rashly. However, he unknowingly missed the good opportunity to take revenge. Today's Holy Master is a little vain.
In the middle of the second quarter, the entire team actually had no touch for a while, but Durant and Westbrook were in good shape, which was a great opportunity for them to reverse the score.
However, the entire Thunder team was afraid of the Knicks' defensive counterattack, and did not choose to play the fast attack they were best at. Instead, they fought a defensive counterattack a little conservatively, which gave the Knicks a chance to breathe. Gasol and others quickly adjusted their state, and Wu Huang began to make his assists again.
At the end of the first half, the Knicks led the Thunder with 6 points 56:5. It is worth mentioning that Wu Huang suddenly rose up in the last minute of the first half, and scored four points in a row, which surprised the Thunder again! Now the entire team was even more afraid of the Holy Master, but this was just Wu Huang's daily excitement. Those two balls were pure luck balloons that were shot in a few blindly. 8
