The Knicks won the second game not as easy as the first game, but they received much more praise than the first game after the game, because the Knicks improved the scoring points of the first game in the second game and relied too much on Wu Huang's shortcomings.

Sir Xiao is still sitting on the sidelines to watch the game today. The official news of the Knicks is that Stoudemire will not allow him to play in the first round. As for whether he can play in the second round, the Knicks said he would not dare to make a promise. So in this case, if New York players get used to entering the state of Wu Huang to decide the Knicks' victory or defeat, they will be not far from being eliminated.

Although from the process of the two games, the fundamental reason for the Knicks' victory lies in Wu Huang's strong performance. However, his performance must be more comprehensive, and cannot be limited to the single-scoring link. He needs to better stimulate the potential of his teammates around him, just like what he did today.

Van Gundy of abc radio commented after the game: At present, the Knicks' 2:0 lead has basically been confirmed to enter the next round. Objectively speaking, with the Knicks' current strength, it is difficult for the Pacers to stop their further ambitions. The same is true for the Magic, even if they can advance, because both teams lack a core defender who can play in big games, which makes Hugo hope to continue his good performance in the regular season. You should know that the defender usually represents the "brain" of a team and is the core of leading the offense and defense of the entire team. In other words, the Knicks, who have Hugo, must have a relatively obvious advantage in team cooperation, tactic rationality and execution. With the Knicks' super offensive ability, as long as Stoudemire can come back at the end of the first round or the second round, the probability of the Knicks entering the Eastern Conference Finals will not be low.

Of course, it is a bit too hasty to discuss whether the Knicks can win the championship. After all, this is just a "youth army" that has just risen. What they need is a more relaxed growth environment, rather than blindly hype and expectation. For the Knicks, reaching the Eastern Conference Finals this season is a success.

The Celtics' game was one hour later than the Knicks. After Wu Huang left the post-match press conference, he received news from there. The Celtics narrowly defeated the Hawks at home 84:82. This was a game with a very low score. The Celtics played the fierce defense they depend on for their lives, and finally forced out the Hawks' biggest weakness. This year, the Atlantas still have no superstar who can stand out at critical moments.

The Hawks led the Celtics most of the time today, but in the last minute of the game, the Eagles missed consecutive shots under the Celtics' airtight defense, but Ray Allen hit a three-pointer with 10 seconds left to help the Celtics secure the victory.

The Lakers in the Western Conference also scored a goal at home. Although Kobe scored only 11 points for 3 of 10 shots, he used defense to disrupt Paul's organization of the Hornets' offensive. In the end, the Lakers defeated the Hornets with 87:78 and tied the big score to 1:1.

Paul scored 33 points and 14 assists in the first game. In the past two days, the Lakers' training has been focusing on how to stop Paul. Their method is to use Kobe to defend Paul. Fisher's speed can no longer keep up, and Blake was absent due to illness and returned today. Using Kobe to defend Paul was the Lakers' helpless move.

The last time Kobe scored a lower score than 11 points in the playoffs was in the 2000 finals against the Pacers, where he scored 8 points for 4 of 20 shots. In addition, he scored 11 points in the 2004 finals against the Pistons. The difference is that the Lakers lost both games, and today the Lakers won the goal.

The Thunder also played very smoothly this season. Five Nuggets scored in double digits in the first match, but they still lost. Only two of the Thunder performed well, Durant and Westbrook scored a total of 72 points. If it was not overtime, this was the best score of the two of them this season.

After the game, Nuggets coach Carl was surprised to find that it was not that the players' defense was not in place. Durant and Westbrook made 18 jump shots with 25 jump shots, and someone raised his hand in front of them every time they shot, but they could still hit the ball. Therefore, Carl believed that this game was "non-war crimes". The Nuggets' defense was fine and there would be no major adjustments in the second game.

In the second game, Carl was even more surprised to find that the Nuggets had new problems in the game, but their opponents were still so unreasonable and could not defend themselves. At the same time, there were problems with their shooting. The poor shooting rate made them fall into trouble early. This time, the Nuggets didn't even have the power to fight back and lost more neatly.

Anthony may be very happy at this time. Before leaving the Nuggets, he had a very unhappy relationship with the team and local fans. At this moment, he would certainly feel a little proud when he saw his old club being in a mess. Moreover, the one who scolded him the most after the transaction was the Nuggets fans. Now that the feng shui has changed, he was the one who gloated and Mr. Anthony became him.

The first round score of the Western Conference Spurs (1) vs (1) Grizzlies; Mavericks (2) vs (0) Rockets; Lakers (1) vs (1) Hornets; Thunder (2) vs (0) Nuggets.

Eastern Conference first round score Heat (2) vs (0) Bucks; Magic (1) vs (1) Bulls; Knicks (2) vs (0) Pacers; Celtics (1) vs (1) Hawks.

The first round of the series this year is very fast. After the Knicks played two home games, they would rush to Indiana the next day.

After staying in the hotel that night, the whole team watched the Magic and the Bulls again.

"The Magic seems to be unable to withstand it?" After watching the first half, Wu Huang felt that today's Magic was in danger. Howard's performance was still dominant, scoring 15 points and 9 rebounds in the first half, but the bad thing is that he performed so well that the Magic were only one point ahead.

"Dwight didn't rest in the first half. In fact, his physical strength was not very good. He played the whole game in the first two games in one game, and only had two minutes of rest at a time. Today, it seemed that his physical strength should be very poor. "Si noticed Howard's playing time. He had a good relationship with this guy and knew the opponent's physical fitness level very well.

Anyone who often watches the game knows that in fact, most inside stars do not have the physical strength to play 40 minutes of games. No. 4 position like Sir and Bosh, which are lighter and have fewer defensive tasks, is better. Those centers who weigh more than 250 pounds and have to fight with their opponents on the court are different. Once they play for more than 40 minutes, they will be deformed when doing the moves. Even if they are forced to stay on the court, the role they can play will be greatly weakened.

Howard's physical strength is considered first-class in the center, but he can't resist his confrontation intensity. Moreover, all his scores are either dunks or strong physically, and there are few mid-range shots that reduce physical energy consumption. If he plays more than 45 in every game, even if he is in good health and does not get injured, he will definitely overdraw his physical fitness, and the subsequent games will likely be defeated.

In fact, without waiting for the next few games, Howard couldn't hold on in the second half. After the Magic played in the third quarter, he was already five points behind. Howard didn't have much rest in the third quarter. The Knicks players could see his footsteps starting to slow down, and his return speed was much worse than in the first half. This was a sign of lack of energy.

Sure enough, Van Gundy could only give Howard a few minutes to rest in the fourth quarter, but in these few minutes, Ross seized the opportunity to widen the score difference to double digits.

"The Bulls consciously staggered the playing time between Ross and Anthony since the last game, with the goal of letting the Bulls have at least one person on the court at any time." Wu Huang could not help but smile when he saw the Bulls' rotation strategy: "Is this considered a headache to treat the head, and a foot pain to treat the foot?"

Thibodeau is also a helpless move. The Bulls' situation has no way to solve the problem from the source. Ross became famous at a young age and naturally competed for strength. Just like Kobe at the beginning, as long as he thought about the Lakers' combination of inside and outside, how could you put two young offensive superstars together?

Since the Bulls have gone wrong from the beginning, can they still expect coaches to find a solution to the root cause? Perhaps the only way to solve the problem is to wait for Ross to be reimbursed or Anthony to be reimbursed. As long as one of them has declined and the level is divided, they will naturally get along well at that time.

The Bulls finally ended up laughing in the third game. Howard could no longer provide dominant defense after exhausting his strength. The Bulls made a 10:2 attack wave and took away the Orlando guys, turning the total score to 2:1.

"The next game will be a key battle. If the Magic cannot tie the score to 2:2, 80% will still have to kneel down when returning to home in the fifth game." Wu Huang felt that the Bulls' chance of advancing now has reached 60%. If they win in the next game, it will be 80%. The Knicks may face the Bulls whose condition is better than the regular season in the next round.

After watching the game, the Knicks began to discuss their opponents, Pacers. In addition to the Magic and Bulls who were most concerned about in this game, the Grizzlies narrowly defeated the Spurs at home with 91:88 and led 2:1 in the first round of the playoffs, which was very stunning to become the "Black Eight".

This is the first game in the history of the Grizzlies to win the playoffs at home. Zach Randolph made a key three-pointer in the last minute, contributing 25 points and 5 rebounds in the game. The former New York cancer has been transformed, and it has a vaguely reduced version of O'Neal's style, and it is very aggressive when facing Duncan.

So far, the Grizzlies' choice of the Spurs as their opponent has proved correct. They first stole the home advantage from San Antonio, and the Grizzlies also won their first playoff victory in team history, and today they won their first home victory.

The Spurs are already in a bad mood now. The "Black Eight" is no longer just a few days ago, but it is likely to become a reality.

The Mavericks defeated the Rockets again away. Terry made 6 of 10 three-pointers today and scored 29 points. People stood up in each of the three games in the Mavericks. Baria scored 24 points in the last game. Today Terry exploded again, and the Rockets were eliminated.

The Heat in the East also defeated the Bucks and successfully took a 3:0 lead.

The only one who can pose a threat to the Miami people in these games is Bogut. The Australians can get 20+10 in each game in three games, playing as an All-Star center. However, the Bucks are always a breath at a critical moment every time, but they are unable to use the advantages of the inside to kill the Heat. This can only be said that the Big Three have too many abilities to play key balls than the Bucks.

After a full day of games, the league awarded the second annual award. NBA officially announced that Lamar Odom from the Los Angeles Lakers was elected the best sixth man in the 2010-11 season. Odom played 82 games this season, 47 of which came on as a substitute, in line with the selection rules of this award. He is also the first player in the history of the Lakers to win this award. In addition, Jason Terry of the Dallas Mavericks scored for the second consecutive season, Sadies Young of the Philadelphia 76ers ranked third, and no one in the top ten.

No one in the Knicks meets the criteria for this award. They do not have a sixth player in the strict sense. This Knicks does not need a sixth player. Iguodala and Garlinari can play guest roles at any time. In fact, both of their data are qualified to compete for the Best Sixth Man Award, but they usually appear as teams, and they have enough data but do not have the conditions to participate in the election.

On the second match day of the third match in the first round of the Eastern Conference, the Knicks will play away against the Pacers today, and this game is scheduled to be relatively backward.

So, have the Pacers returned to home court to find a way to deal with the Knicks?

The answer is: Still not!

Wu Huang played 44 minutes in this game, which was the longest of his three-game game in the playoffs. In addition, his 5 steals were also the most in a single game in the playoffs this season. However, Wu Huang only made 6 of 20 shots and only 2 of 7 three-pointers. He finally scored points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists and 5 steals, and he didn't even have so many assists.

"Today I finally look like a playoff." Wu Huang said after the game, with a sarcastic tone. The Pacers' defense against him is relatively rough today.

Since the start of the playoffs, this game has been the game with the lowest shooting percentage. The reason is probably related to his outstanding performance in the first two games. In the first two games, Wu Huang scored 25 points and 24 points respectively, but he only played three quarters in the first game, and the second game was not much because he still scored 14 assists.

So it is obvious that in this game, the Pacers focused on guarding Wu Huang and did not give him any chance to score or assist. Of course, as the only core of the Knicks at present, limiting Wu Huang was equivalent to shaking the Knicks' throat. This choice was not wrong.

The Pacers were defending Wu Huang at the beginning of the game, making it difficult for him to catch the ball every time, and the defense was very strong. They bet that the league was unwilling to let the Knicks, who had the highest ratings in the world, only play four games in a round of series, so they could be more ruthless.

They bet right, and the Pacers enjoyed their due home whistle today. Paul George and Collison followed Wu Huang's butt. They let Wu Huang get a chance to get a phone call after about three minutes of the game, and the shot that was one step inside the three-point line did not hit the basket. Two minutes later, Wu Huang jumped again, but still missed the score.

Wu Huang only made his first shot in the game with 2 minutes left in the first quarter, and it was a shooting opportunity created through his exclusive "elevator tactics". After the first quarter, Wu Huang only scored 3 points and only 1 assist.

With 8 minutes and 15 seconds left in the second quarter, Wu Huang walked back to the basketball court. Half a minute later, he created a foul by Paul George and then made both free throws. Wu Huang in this quarter improved compared to the first quarter, and he began to score by fouls. But even so, Wu Huang in the first half had only 9 points and 2 assists, and the data was much ugly compared to the previous two games.

The more critical issue is that Emperor Wu was restricted so much today, but Iguodala and Gallinari could not stand up again. Although their performance was not bad, their performance of only a dozen points could not fill the gap after Emperor Wu was restricted. They could not use the loopholes left by the Pacers to encircle Queen Wu to kill their opponents, but instead allowed the Pacers to start to find the defensive rhythm of the playoffs.

In the second half, the Pacers' high-intensity defense of Wu Huang continued. Wu Huang only made 3 shots in the third quarter, but all missed, and his shooting percentage also dropped to 3 of 12 shots. Wu Huang's scores in this quarter basically all came from the free throw line. In this quarter, he made 5 free throws with 6 free throws, so his score also increased to 14 points.

The situation in the first part of the fourth quarter and the third quarter still did not change much, and Wu Huang still couldn't make a shot.

But soon, the Pacers played three quarters of high-intensity defense, which caused loopholes in their overall defense line. Wu Huang began to rely on passing to lead the team forward. Wu Huang sent a total of 4 assists in this quarter. The Pacers did not die at the hands of the Knicks in the end, and they died in their physical strength.

At the last moment of the game, the young Pacers found that they had used too much force before. High-intensity defense does not mean that you have to keep going all out. A mature team should know how to find the rhythm. The moderate offensive and defensive rhythm is the embodiment of a truly strong team. It was at this time that Wu, who was silent throughout the game, suddenly showed his fangs. He scored 9 points in the last quarter. The Pacers' first three quarters were barely considered strict defense and instantly turned into a shoddy project. Paul George was even swung out by Wu's emergency stop in a defense, and slipped several meters away on the ground in a mess.

In the end, the Knicks won with the explosion of Wu Huang in the last quarter and achieved a huge lead of 3:0.

After the game, the best of the game naturally gave Wu Huang, who performed well in the first three quarters. Although his performance in the first three quarters was not very impressive, he restrained most of the Pacers' defensive power throughout the game. As long as his teammates can provide enough support, the Knicks would not have to play so hard. If Xiao Si was restraining the inside today, Wu Huang would have been able to use his passing skills to give the Pacers a big defeat. They didn't need to play until the last quarter to decide the winner.

"The Pacers' progress is obvious to all. They have put us in a hard battle in this game. They have made progress in every game. Maybe we will fall into greater difficulties in the fourth game. We need to pay more attention to this opponent so that we will not let ourselves overturn it." Although Wu Huang was not very happy with the Pacers' defensive movements today, he knew that this was the normal playoff intensity. These guys were probably frightened by his fame in the first two games and did not dare to take ruthless actions in the game. It would be strange if they were so cowardly and did not lose.

D'Antoni rarely praised the team's defense. Wu Huang put a lot of strength on the defensive end when his offense was blocked in the first three quarters. His five steals were enough to show his contribution on the defensive end. Secondly, Igdala, Granger played well at home today, but his outstanding performance only maintained the first half. In the second half, Granger disappeared again under the strict defense of the No. 1 brother.

In fact, Igdala and Gallinari are criticized for not performing well enough on the offensive end, and may be a bit harsh. Many fans think that they are ruthless when Wu Huang was defended by two or three people, but you should know that they did not play such a role in the team, and this task has always been Xiao Si's. Now the latter is absent, they can maintain a balance of power in the game while Wu Huang is restricted, creating opportunities for Wu Huang to play key balls in the final quarter, and actually have completed their own jobs.

To change the idea, if Iguodala and Gallinari can easily play 20 to 30 per game and lead the team to win without Wu Huang's performance, then they will not only have this value. As for Wu Huang's stand up in the last quarter, there is no need to hype it too much. This is also his job, and not standing up at this time will become his dereliction of duty.

Comparing the core of the two teams, Wu Huang can always stand up when the team needs him the most, and Granger looks like a icing on the cake. There is still a big gap between Wu Huang Huang's ability to help in time, not to mention the ability to attract two or three defenders by one person.

Iguodala has been defending Granger alone in these three games, and basically never allowed him to play an average performance in the regular season. Granger averaged only 15 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists per game in three games. His scoring data was directly erased by the No. 1 player, and his shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage dropped to 40% and 25%.

The Knicks have now played the level of their lineup. Although Wu Huang's personal data is not as impressive as in the regular season, his performance is definitely at the MVP level; while Iguodala successfully restricts his opponent's core, he also contributes data that is not inferior to his opponent. This performance reminds people of Artest during the Pacers' period back then; although Gallinari's performance is not as eye-catching as the previous two, his scoring data is still a little higher than in the regular season, and his shooting percentage is also maintained at a normal level. It seems a bit difficult to ask him to contribute more.
Chapter completed!
