"You should take a break." After Wu Huang appeared in the second half, he saw Westbrook's expression of discomfort and unhappy expression, and of course he knew why. That was his own move. Of course, he knew the best what effect would be. That would have been enough to make Westbrook hurt all night.

"Do you only know this shameful trick?" Westbrook's lines sounded very righteous, obviously a positive person. At this moment, his chest had been relieved and a thick bandage was tied up. The pain was relieved a lot.

Emperor Wu suppressed his guilt. Of course, he was despicable to do this. He absolutely admitted this. But since he had already taken action, he did not intend to let his conscience come out and destroy it, so the Holy Master who lost his conscience smiled and said, "I'm very sure you are the party to justice, but justice usually comes very late. And you are right, I believe that someone will punish me in the future, but you are dead today!"

Westbrook looked at Wu Huang with his eyes blazing, and silently recited a large passage of Bible in his heart before he suppressed the anger of wanting to hit someone. After this round of series, I believe Westbrook's mentality will improve a lot under Wu Huang's training.

Of course, there is a reason for Wu Huang's continued mockery. The Thunder are called the "Devil in the Second Half". The Spurs have tasted this taste, and the Knicks do not intend to make a comeback in the second half. On the away game, they are not sure to subdue the opponent. If the Thunder plays in a state, it is not impossible to be pushed by a draw. Moreover, Wu Huang has no conscience for the championship. Of course, he will not commit the mistake of underestimating the opponent. It is a necessary means to stir up the Thunder's mentality of the second largest scoring point. As long as he wins the game, he is not a villain, and the winners are also just.

Westbrook actually had the idea of ​​revenge in his heart, and he would not let go of anyone who was slandered. But he was very clear that he was definitely not a match for Emperor Wu to play such an insult. The result of impulsiveness was probably to fall into Emperor Wu’s trap. That’s right, he felt that Emperor Wu would be happy to see him commit a malicious foul. As long as the Knicks hit him, the Thunder would basically explain it.

Emperor Wu didn't know that Westbrook was so calm, but this was all caused by him. If it were Westbrook two years ago, he probably was sent out in the first half because of his hot mind and malicious revenge. Moreover, his revenge would not have any effect. In fact, Westbrook has become much more mature now, but it is not enough for him to defeat Emperor Wu and he will be abused again.

But despite some preparations and sufficient preventive measures, the Knicks were still hit by the Thunder's fierce counterattack at home in the third quarter. Durant and Westbrook's consecutive unreasonable goals quickly ignited the enthusiasm of the fans on the scene. The most important thing was that Ibaka received the pass from two people in the middle and hit three mid-range shots. If he opened this point, a big hole would appear in the Knicks' defense line. The Thunder scored a 15:6 attack wave in five minutes, equalizing the score.

At 7:05 in the third quarter, the Knicks requested a timeout for the second time in this quarter. Westbrook just broke through and caused a foul by Emperor Wu. After both free throws, the score had reached 60:60. The Thunder actually smoothed the gap in his back like a lightning strike.

"This is the end of someone like you, and you will be punished today." Westbrook was very happy at this moment, and he couldn't even feel the pain in his chest. After he came back, he demonstrated to Emperor Wu in high spirits.

"Uneducated, you should say 'justice may be late, but it will never be absent'." Emperor Wu's words stunned Westbrook. Is this ridicule a sure thing that is scolding himself?

Wu Huang now thinks that his teammates are a bit too fascinated today. It doesn’t matter if they can’t defend against the Thunder. As long as there is no problem with their own offense, at most, they can compete with who has a higher output. As the team with the highest average score this season, the Knicks should not be afraid of scoring against any team, but if they are the only one who performs normally, that’s not the case.

D'Antoni saw the lineup's feel decline. Today, Gasol, Iguodala and Bathir's shooting percentages have dropped outrageously. Only David Si is better, but it's just a normal performance, so it's necessary to change people to adjust.

After the Knicks suspended, they sent out a strange lineup: Wu Huang, Danny Green, Garlinari, David Si, and Monroe.

Danny Green can be described as "miserable" in this playoffs. His playing time is basically equal to 0. With Bathir continuing to perform well, Iguodala and Garlinari each occupying a lot of playing time, his playing order can only be behind Tony Allen, but even Tony Allen doesn't get much playing time, let alone him. This high-quality role player with not bad abilities can only serve his teammates with the Knicks' water dispenser and towel this season, which is really miserable.

Now there is something wrong with the Knicks' offense, the main force feels cold, and Tony Allen is another outside line that focuses on defense, so D'Antoni is planning to use this surprise with one-handed three-pointer ability. In fact, in the eyes of Knicks fans, Danny Green is the low-end version of Bathir. The styles of these two are very similar in many aspects.

This substitution made Knicks fans no longer complain about D'Antoni not even having timeouts or substitutions. Danny Green hit a three-pointer after touching the ball for the first time after he came on the court. Wu Huang finally gained an assist. His countless passes before were like stones sinking into the sea, and it was effective after the substitution.

Moreover, not only on the offensive end, this group of new players also performed well on the defensive end. After the Thunder players finished the first two games, they were already very familiar with the Knicks players, but they were not familiar with this group of players. Danny Green's faster speed and more obsessed defense made Lant feel a little uncomfortable for a while. After two consecutive shots failed, the Knicks made two three-pointers in a row and brought the advantage back again.

The Knicks' second three-pointer was personally contributed by Emperor Wu. This was an unreasonable personal ability show. Westbrook had already defended well, but he couldn't resist the goal. After he dribbled behind the back and failed to shake Westbrook away, he actually shot two steps away from the three-point line. The basketball directly hit the center of the basket amid the booing of the fans of the court.

More than a minute later, Monroe intercepted Perkins and passed the ball to Garlinari, who transported it to the frontcourt and passed it to Emperor Wu without hesitation. The Holy Master changed direction and threw Westbrook away, and then changed speed at the basket and shook the recovered Ibaka, and completed a counterattack with a one-arm dunk.

This time, the whole process took only 6 seconds from Monroe's steal to Wu Huang's dunk. Then the Knicks did the same thing again. Wu Huang personally stole Durant's pass, and the fast break assisted Garlinari easily made a layup. The Knicks returned the Thunder's 10:2 attack wave in two and a half minutes, widening the score difference to 8 points again.

Sometimes the game can be very simple. As long as you can score, nothing is a problem. Flexible offense often drives the team's unreliable defense. Although the Knicks' lineup is not as rich as before in its offensive system, Wu Huang regained the feeling of last season in this lineup. In this quarter, the Knicks no longer played delicately, but more direct and fast small ball tactics, or it was nothing wrong to describe it as "a few blind plays".

This group of Knicks players have relatively single offensive functions. After everyone gets the ball, they usually subconsciously give it to Wu Huang. Except for the empty space, they usually don’t stick to the ball. This returns to the single-player style of Wu Huang dribbling the ball and the other four people looking for opportunities. But what is not the only one here is Wu Huang. His variability can make up for the team’s single-defense strategy adopted by the Thunder today also gives Wu Huang enough room for development.

At this time, we can see that there is a gap in the competition between the two teams in another link. Thunder head coach Brooks is not as good as D'Antoni, who is not famous for this in terms of on-the-spot changes. Since the Knicks have already set up an offensive lineup with Wu Huang as the single core, the "Jordan Law" is obviously not applicable. At this time, the Knicks have no ball holding points except Garynalli. As long as people concentrate their hands to watch Wu Huang, it is obviously unlikely that the Knicks want to rely on Garynalli, an unstable guy to score. This will become a node for the Thunder to turn the situation around.

But Brooks' reaction was obviously slow. The young head coach had already revealed shortcomings in on-the-spot changes and offensive routines in the Western Conference Finals. He might be able to bring the young Thunder to a strong playoff team, but when the core members of the team gradually matured, his coach's shortcomings in technical and tactics and on-the-spot command gradually became the team's shortcomings.

If it is understandable to say that Popovich is not arguing, but even D'Anthony can't be argued, it would be a bit unreasonable. You should know that D'Anthony is not a head coach who is good at on-the-spot changes. How bad is Brooks in this regard?

Slow reaction means being beaten on the court. Wu Huang was in a state of no one under single defense. On the offensive end, he had enough output environment and space to get the ball, which means he could play 100% of his ability. The Thunder team only had one Westbrook and could not limit the Holy Master's attack at all. Even if the Thunder continued to score, they could not stop Wu Huang from leading a group of small characters in the eyes of most players to play back and forth with the main players of the Thunder, and even gained a slight advantage.

In the second half of the third quarter, the Knicks kept using this substitute lineup to deal with the main players of the Thunder. When Brooks realized that he could no longer let Wu Huang do whatever he wanted and began to resume the double-team tactics, the Knicks replaced David Si and Monroe with Gasol and Whiteside, Tony Allen and Iguodala also replaced Green and Garynalli, which became a lineup that tended to defend, but there were two attack points in the defense.

The Thunder players have already had physical problems. The last two minutes of the third quarter should be the rotation time of the main players. Even in the playoffs, they have to replace the main players and take a break. However, the Thunder's score is still behind, and Brooks cannot easily replace the third young master. Today, not only Durant and Westbrook are almost always on the court, but even Harden has started to play, but such a lineup still cannot overwhelm the Knicks on the offensive end. Now that the latter has changed to a defensive lineup, the Thunder will be even more unable to attack.

With 43 seconds left in this quarter, Wu Huang made a three-pointer and caused Durant to foul, scoring 4 points in a row with free throws. The Knicks gained a double-digit advantage with 80:68, and Thunder player Durant had already made four fouls at this time and could only return to the sidelines to rest.

The two teams then failed to score again, and the Knicks came to the last quarter with a 12-point advantage.

Such a disadvantage has made Thunder fans feel a little desperate. They found that the one who took the lead after this round of the series seemed to have become the Knicks. Although they were always behind in the first half, they were not their teams who showed their strength in the second half. Instead, the Knicks were always the ones who opened the score gap in the third quarter. Today's game is no exception. The Knicks opened the score gap in the third quarter again, Durant also had four fouls, Westbrook also seemed to be injured in the first half, and Harden, who was invisible all the way in the finals, how do they turn the tables?

Harden has been invisible in the finals, which is a very critical issue. This bearded man has no courage to kill his template in the Western Conference Finals. He has never shown enough presence under the watchful eyes of the experienced Iguodala. Even the media on the Thunder criticized "Harden is a bit like a ghost on the court" after the second game, and when he was behind in a big score of 0:2, there were many news reports in New York that Harden played very late in the nightclub in New York.

In fact, Harden did linger in various nightclub parties in New York. Although this statement is just a side note of the New York media, it seems that what he said is true. His data can tell the problem. Harden averaged less than ten points in the first two games of the finals. It seems that today is similar. His shooting percentage may fall below 38% in today's day, and his three-point shooting percentage will drop to 30%. This performance is a sharp dive compared to his performance in the Western Conference Finals. If it is all caused by Iguodala's defense, even Knicks fans think something is wrong.

The first part of the fourth quarter is very important to the Thunder. If they cannot grasp this rotation time to narrow the gap, then this game will be almost explained. Harden is the key to this period. Durant is likely to not play in the early part of the fourth quarter because of too many fouls. Westbrook also seems to have been injured in a collision in the first quarter. At this time, the Thunder can only win by Harden's performance.

But unfortunately, D'Antoni didn't know if it was a blind cat who had encountered the dead mouse. Since he took away the main players who were playing in the second half of the third quarter, he could arrange most of the lineup, including Wu Huang, who had not had much rest today, and he could continue to play. The away Holy Master played 48 minutes at all. After Wu Huang in the next game, it would be fine to play two more overtimes. The Saint Master's staying power in the away game is so strong!

In today's game, the Thunder's performance in the first half has improved, especially point guard Westbrook, who did not make a mistake in the first half. The goal guard was rational, and the Thunder's offensive end was naturally much smoother, so the Thunder finally had an equal confrontation with the Knicks from the first half, but they still failed to lead the Knicks.

In the third quarter, although the Thunder launched a counterattack, compared with the Knicks, the Thunder players and coaches are still too young. Most of the Knicks players have had more than once in the finals. Gasol is already a veteran with several championships, so they know how to control the rhythm of the game.

On the other hand, the young Thunder, who are young and energetic, even in the finals, they can't even understand when to defend, when to attack, and when to play the offensive and defensive balance. Their control of this rhythm is too far from the Knicks, which makes the Thunder always hesitate when it should let go of the offense, and always think about attacking when it should defend. This style of playing at both ends of the head and rat is very absent from the opportunity, but this is also a mistake that young teams always make.

As soon as the fourth quarter came, the Knicks' five players were: Wu Huang, Iguodala, Battier, David Si, Monroe, and all the lineups were except Monroe. Thunder fans knew it was a bad thing when they saw this lineup, because their core Durant was still sitting off the court, and the five players were: Fisher, Westbrook, Harden, Ibaka, and Collison.

The Thunder's lineup obviously lacks attack power. Perhaps Harden has a certain advantage in athleticism against Bathir in dislocation, but today, Harden, who only scored 5 points in three quarters, can he play in his form in the Western Conference Finals?

Emperor Wu said: "You should worry first whether the 'old fish' who was scolded by the Lakers as a waste can withstand my destruction."

Fisher, 38, used his qualifications to do a good job with the Thunder. He portrayed himself as the Thunder's most lacking experience. He looked like a locker room captain to fans and teams, and even Lord Brooks asked him some questions. But at this time no one thought why the Lakers abandoned the old fish as soon as they got Sessions? No matter how good your experience is, it is not a big deal to be passed by the defensive end.

The Thunder can usually make up for Fisher. Ibaka has strong mobility and his ability to assist Fisher to plug the loopholes. However, in the finals, facing his national team captain, Ibaka himself has played very poorly. The Thunder can defeat the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals, not only Harden's contribution, but Ibaka's contribution is definitely not smaller than Harden. However, in the finals, the two of them disappeared on the court together. The Thunder lost two sharp weapons from Durant and Westbrook, so naturally they could not withstand the powerful Knicks. Ibaka could not always make up for the old fish.

As soon as the fourth quarter came, Lao Yu almost lost the ball under Wu Huang's defense. The latter's pressing was very active, just like dealing with a rookie, completely ignoring the opponent and taking the opportunity to break through.

Of course, Emperor Wu was not afraid that Fisher could break through himself. What kind of experience is like? In his eyes, this thing is just a decoration. With Fisher's current speed, even if he lets the opponent take a step forward, he can still catch up with him. So in his eyes, this person is a genius who can't even beat CBA. He can't even control the ball in front of him. What's the use of experience?

Fisher is a little embarrassed. Being stuck like this to defend is the most shameless situation, which means that the opponent has safely ignored your breakthrough threat. Moreover, the Knicks' inside player has also given up his assist in defense in this direction. Basically, where Fisher is, the Knicks' defense will shift to both sides. This makes Lao Yu even more embarrassed, which means that his threat is basically zero in the minds of Knicks players. People hide from you not because they are afraid of you, but because they think that you are no different from air and have no sense of existence.

Under Wu Huang's press, Fisher could only pass this ball quickly to Harden, but Harden did not have a good chance. Although Bathir couldn't keep up, he was very uncomfortable in his position selection. It was obvious that he was allowed to shoot from the outside. Whether he could make a shot depends on your own ability. But when he thought of Bathir's eye-blocking defense, letting you shoot would not be a bit of pressure, and it still had to test the offensive party's shooting accuracy.

Wu Huang is not afraid of Battier's defense, because he basically doesn't look at where the basket is when shooting, and that thing has always been in his heart, so just giving him some space is enough for him to take action calmly. However, most NBA players cannot do this, and even most stars are the same. They have to glance at the basket when shooting to be sure. Harden is of course no exception, so Battier's eye-blocking defense is so famous. Wu Huang's shooting talent is rare even in the NBA.

When Harden faced Bathir's defense, he did not dare to make a strong shot directly, and made a bunch of fake moves and fake moves on the spot. However, Bathir was too lazy to even look at the right eye. He was almost a sharp-edged on the defensive end. If he wanted to use fake moves to deceive him, it would not be easy to replace Kobe, let alone Harden at this time. Apart from strong shots and hard attacks, Bathir did not give him a third choice.

The Thunders' offense was very ugly this time. Old Fish could not control the ball, and Harden did not dare to shoot. He had to face the assisting defense of the inside after two steps in. Finally, when the offensive time was almost 24 seconds, Fisher received the basketball from the outside and forced a shot.

Wu Huang was cunning again this time. In fact, he could not even get the ball, but that would result in the Thunder's offense violation of 24 seconds at most. This was the credit for the team's defense. He had no personal data. Therefore, Wu Huang specially gave Fisher the opportunity to catch the ball, and then waited for Lao Yu to force the shot, and rushed forward and took the ball away with a palm. This would give him a blocking data.

Lao Yu actually felt something, but the basketball was passed to his hand and it was not enough to shoot. He even raised the shooting height. But the problem was that he jumped too low and his movement speed was too slow. If Emperor Wu and Fisher were compared in the same picture, the Holy Master was like a video that was twice as fast as he rushed up. He was a strong hat, and gave it to the old fish who had always been proud of the 0.4-second kill.

This goal made Fisher very badly. The veteran's mentality was not as solid as a rock. They would also become sluggish under the huge blow. At this moment, Lao Yu began to find the game state more and more under the blow of Emperor Wu. Especially Wu Huang's trash words would not be merciful because of his seniority. He was not merciless to the former player union chairman, and he specifically didn't mention any pot.

A minute later, Emperor Wu made Lao Yu lose his normal heart on the defensive end...

"I said, now they all call you the most incompetent president of the Players' Union, thinking that you have put all your energy into internal strife, which has made the labor-management negotiations play in the hands of Stern. Do you have anything to say about this?" Wu Huang's words made Fisher, who had just been kicked off, very upset. The players also believed that it was his internal strife during the negotiations that caused the internal strife of the Players' Union, which was finally won by the investors. So after the labor-management negotiations, he forced the class to be dismissed by the players. In the end, both the players, the senior union leaders, and the fans thought that he was an incompetent president of the Players' Union.

"Yes, your Ewing is the most competent chairman." Lao Yu was angry and took Ewing as a counterattack. However, he greatly underestimated the shamelessness of Emperor Wu. How could such a counterattack be useful to him?

"Yes, he is indeed the most crazy-dead chairman of the Players' Union, and you are the most incompetent union chairman. You two will be the negative representatives of the Players' Union chairman." Wu Huang did not give his own celebrity face at all. Ewing was indeed very crazy-dead when he was the chairman of the Players' Union.

During the NBA strike in 1998, Ewing was in the position of chairman of the Players' Union. During the negotiations, facing NBA president Stern's complaint that the player's income was too high, Ewing actually said without hesitation, "We earn more, but we spend more." Such remarks directly led to a sharp decline in fans' support for the Players' Union. The media also began to support the investors, believing that "the shutdown is just a farce between billionaires and millionaires." It was precisely because of his poor performance in labor-management negotiations that Ewing had to step down as the chairman of the union during the shutdown.

Lao Yu was very angry at Wu Huang's approach of comparing Ewing with him. He felt that he was not as stupid as the gorilla. He was thinking about how to fight back, but his hands suddenly became empty and Wu Huang directly cut off his basketball.

"So crazy!" Wu Huang also left a sarcasm after intercepting the ball, and easily scored two points through counterattack.

In the fourth quarter, 8 minutes and 46 seconds, the score was 88:72. The Knicks took advantage of Fisher's mistake and continued to expand the score difference. At this moment, the Thunder had already fallen off the cliff.

Thunder fans can only hold their heads at this moment. Fisher should have been the most stable member of the team, but he did not show the 5-time champion in this round of series. Instead, he was vulnerable in front of Emperor Wu several times. He could not defend against any attack from Emperor Wu, and even found it difficult to control the ball calmly in front of Emperor Wu. This is the basic requirement of the point guard. If you can't even control the ball, then you can still make a fuss!

But Fisher couldn't even achieve this most basic requirement, especially under Wu Huang's irony, his performance exceeded the team's tolerance limit and was quickly replaced by Brooks. However, the coach, as the head coach, was helpless.

David Si quickly gave the Thunder a fatal blow on the court. Ibaka stood behind him this time, but comparing strength is not what Ibaka is good at. His assisted defense can be called top-notch, but single defense is just average. David Si used his strength to easily squeeze into the left waist position and made several consecutive vile moves. Ibaka just got a dive, and David Si had turned around and shot, and the basketball hit steadily.

"You are still far from here." David Si left a provocation, turned around and left casually, leaving only Ibaka with an unhappy look.

Except for Gasol and Bathir, the Knicks players have basically learned one or two trash words. There is no need to say more about who they have learned. "trash words" have now become the Knicks' logo. No matter how famous a player comes here, he will get involved in talking trash words. Even Gasol and Bathir are almost being taught badly.

David Si's goal caused the Thunder to be injured. After the Knicks led by 18 points, they decisively began to play defensive counterattacks, and the players returned to the court one by one. D'Antoni later replaced a lineup of one big and four small to speed up the counterattack speed. Gasol and David Si only left one on the court, and Gallinari was on the fourth position. Although this lineup has defects in defense, the Thunder is not a team that is good at playing the inside line. This lineup is completely usable.

The Thunder launched a crazy counterattack after Durant came on the court, but facing the Knicks who were huddled, it was difficult for the Thunder, which lacked low-post lethality, to hit the inside line with high hit rate. In addition, facing the threat of the Knicks' counterattack, the Thunder did not dare to attack with all their might. They always had to take into account the Knicks' fast attack, but this would make it even more impossible to break through the Knicks' defense.

When Coach Brooks was fighting for life and death, he seemed to lack the determination to go all out. At this time, he should no longer care about defense, otherwise how should he chase the 18-point gap? However, as the team's coach, he would not be able to find any mistakes if he had such concerns. Once the Knicks beat him several times to counterattack, the Thunder would have no hope.

So in the final analysis, Thunder's hard power is not enough. The gap between 18 points before was widened, which is already difficult to turn around. No matter how you choose at this time, it is actually a life-threatening death.

At the 4th minute and 29th second, the Thunder's defense made a serious mistake. After Gasol held the ball in the middle, he seemed to be forgotten. There was no one defending within two meters in front of him. Faced with such a good opportunity, Espanyol directly broke through with the ball at the free throw line and easily scored a goal.

This time the defense represents that the Thunder's mentality has been blown up. This low-level defensive mistake is something that no professional team should have appeared. Now that it appears in the finals, it means that the mentality of the players who made the mistake has collapsed and has begun to collapse.

Thunder fans began to leave the court. Faced with the still 19 points behind on the court and the low-level mistakes this time, they also knew that their team had completely collapsed. There was no hope of a comeback in this game. The total score of 3:0 still appeared, and the title was naturally no suspense.
Chapter completed!
