"Don't ignore my shots."

Dugg calmly told Josh Smith as the crowd swelled: "This is the last reminder, I don't want to see you crying and making up all kinds of reasons for losing after the game." ”

With that, he ignored Josh Smith's murderous gaze and raised his hands to the cheers of the entire arena.

At a time when rookies were still fighting for playing time and tactical positions, he had become the king of Madison Garden!

But even so, even though he was one of the two absolute leaders of the class of '08, he still did not receive the corresponding respect. Those basketball pundits still don't put him in the All-Star sequence, only think that he has just stepped through the door of elite players. Even some ill-tempered commentators claim that he is just an all-around role player.

Now, however, with this three-point shot. It was time for them to look up.

"With the development of projection, combined with the ability to control the ball and pass the ball with great creativity. Snoopy has established a three-in-one attacking system of pass-and-shoot attacks. He's got into the house and can be called a star. ”

McBrin stressed: "Even though he still lacks a lot of stats, he has a natural flaw in defending on the perimeter. Shooting percentages don't seem to be consistent enough to be experienced, but as long as he can keep opponents up to 60 centimeters away, he's good enough to deserve the title of star. ”

Reggie Miller agreed, and he confirmed as a legendary shooter: "Snoopy's shooting posture is textbook-like, and there is nothing wrong with his technical movements. is the purest Jordan faction descendant. ”

He's been sticking to that story. He believes that Kobe Bryant is the player who most closely resembles Michael Jordan in terms of technical movements, and that other players such as Vince Carter, Tracy Maddie, and Grant Hill, who have been named Jordan's successors, are not entirely similar in terms of technique. And now, he believes that Dug's shooting and back are the same as the Black Mamba.

So, based on this origin, Dugg became the orthodox heir of Jordan in the mouth of Reggie Miller.

This argument has not received much acceptance in the United States, but it has become popular since it crossed the ocean. Some exaggerated Chinese media even made sensational headlines: "Jordan's strongest opponent is publicly certified, Duge is the next basketball god!" 》

"Snoopy's movements are significantly less fluid than Kobe, let alone on par with Michael Jordan. Although his coordination is much better now than when he first entered the league, it is actually only at the level of a normal adult man. It's too far from Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. ”

Bill Wharton isn't as optimistic as McBrin and Reggie Miller, saying, "In terms of shooting threat, we need to look further. It's a long-term job, and it's not a one-shot shot, or a game-by-game shooting percentage. ”

At this time, Jamal Crawford once again held the ball and went on the offensive.

The Knicks, on their side, are still the defensive opponent of Kirksimridge, because Dugg is indeed very passive in the face of breakaway players. His perimeter defense has always been a shortcoming that should not be overlooked.

Swish!

Crawford shook off Hinrich's defense again as he hit a pull-up jumper from the free-throw line.

After the goal, he spread his hands and was aggressive.

And, he also glanced at Duge defiantly.

Dugg was very calm, and when he arrived in the front court, he took the initiative to take the ball from Kirksinridge.

Josh Smith immediately went on defense.

This time, his defensive stance was reduced to around 60 centimeters. He could no longer ignore Duger's shooting as he did before.

But this gave Dugg more room to maneuver on the breakthrough, only to see Dug jerk up a little bit. Joshsmith instantly got up to him like a frightened bird, and although he didn't get his center of gravity, he was clever enough to defend with a pressing one.

If it had been Duge last season, there was a good chance that he would have lost his place in this form. Because when he has the ball on the offensive end, he can't show his physical strength in the dynamics.

But now...... Shout!

At the same time that Josh Smith pressed up closely, he turned around directly, and his body swept away like a spinning top around Smith with great fluidity.

Smithton was caught off guard and tried to block, but it was too late and the entire defense was already spinning dry.

By the time he turned, Dugg was at the free-throw line.

Jamal Crawford rushed up to rotate the defense as soon as possible.

Josh Smith hurriedly switched to Kirksynridge according to the established tactics.

Dugg, meanwhile, slowed down abruptly, and Crawford took advantage of the momentum to gain a foothold. But as soon as his feet hit the ground...... Bang!

Dugg quickly made a change of direction, and Crawford's defense was a little out of position.

He's not a very good defender, and his defensive judgment is naturally flawed.

At this moment, Duge suddenly took a step forward and made a disguised move.

Crawford quickly stepped back to defend, but just as he stepped back to the left, the basketball suddenly turned to the right, and Dugg flashed by...... Shout!

Buddha!!

Madison Garden watched Crawford, who was known for playing his opponents, be completely killed by Snoopy with street moves, and suddenly screamed with excitement.

At this time, Duger, who completely dodged the defense, made an easy jumper, and although he was a little bottomless, his shooting action was very resolute.

Swish!

The basketball pierces the basket again.

This anserball brought the sound of Madison Garden to the top again.

Scored two goals in a row, and it was Jamal Crawford's head.

It's so cool for Knicks fans!

If sending Crawford and Chandler away made them have a lot of criticism of Isaiah Thomas, now Isaiah is simply the God of heaven in their minds!

Snoopy-Du！ Du！ Du！！

When the home commentator stretched his voice and let out a rough long roar.

Crawford gave Dugg a deep look.

His emotions were a little inexplicable, all of which he did not expect, he had never imagined that Dugg's progress would be so fast.

Before this ball, his heart was full of indignation. But now... He had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

"This feint shoots with a back turn that feels like a black mamba, although the shooting feint is not as realistic as the black mamba. But... The moment I turned my back, I thought it was beyond Kobe. ”

ESPN's McBrin commented on the goal: "After that, the dribble he got past Crawford didn't have much reference because of the quality of the defender, but he reminded me of Jason Williams. ”

Not only did the ball bankrupt Josh Smith's pre-game ramblings. At the same time, it was also officially announced that Snoopy has become a star with a trinity of breakthroughs, shooting, and passing. Reggie Miller said earnestly.

Bill Wharton on the side had no objections.

Although he was able to find a lot of shortcomings in Duger. But when Dugg has a shot, all of his previous strengths are blessed, and his ability to disrupt opponents' defensive systems has reached star level.

Bang!

Jamal Crawford's shot finally went wide of the basket.

Dugg rushed to the basket and beat Smith for the rebound.

He then took advantage of Milicic's pick-and-roll to get into the paint zone and passed the ball to David Lee as Al Horford quickly followed up. David Lee hit an easy mid-range jumper.

Because Duge's triple threat ability has increased rapidly, the probability of teammates getting opportunities has also increased significantly.

The Knicks' offense was gradually revitalized.

At the same time, the Atlanta Hawks are stealing offensive power.

Josh Smith started to take over the offense after Jamal Crawford missed two consecutive shots.

Because Dugg kept emphasizing in his ear: "I've already scored in double digits." Didn't you say you've lost weight, you're more flexible, and your projection is more accurate? Now it's your turn to perform. ”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Josh Smith, whose face was pale, smashed the three irons in anger.

This allowed the Knicks to seize the opportunity to quickly extend the margin to more than double digits.

With 3 minutes left in the third quarter.

Coach McWoodson, who is good at 'adapting to change', finally realized that something was wrong, and he quickly replaced Josh Smith with Joe Johnson.

Joe Johnson immediately took the court and stabilized the game with a mid-range jumper.

But he didn't bring any more significant impact on the defensive end.

When David Lee and Kirksynridge hit back-to-back shots from beyond the three-point line.

72：85。

The Knicks led by 13 points heading into the fourth quarter.

At this time, Dugg has 14 points, 8 assists, 5 rebounds and 1 block in this game, and his shooting rate is 100% of 5 shots!

It was like two huge slaps in the face of Josh Smith: he had said before the game that he had vowed that he would limit Snoopy's shooting percentage to 30 percent and score under 10 points. Now, however, the three verses are not over...... Syllable! Syllable!

It is worth mentioning that he himself shot 3 of 11 in the third quarter of the game, and slashed 8 points and 4 rebounds.

During the interjunctive pause, McBrin even said, "It looks like Snoopy should be at least 55th." Even though one game doesn't say much, I think he's better than Josh Smith. ”

"This conclusion is indisputable." Reggie Miller laughs, "When Snoopy learned to shoot, Josh Smith's advantage was only height and arm length. ”

"There's also coordination and explosiveness on the offensive end." Bill Wharton added sternly.

He fully agrees with Snoopy's superiority and believes that "Snoopy's strength should be in the top 50 in the league." ”

However, he stressed: "The Knicks are by no means in a winning position right now. The Atlanta Hawks have more talent, but they also have more game experience. When their rotation defense is fully opened, I don't think the Knicks will have as many shooting openings in the third quarter. ”

While he said this, Dugg consulted with Herb Williams on the bench about a bold decision.

He suggested that the defensive end should be used in the same way as the other side!
