0250: [Ten Thousand Years of Rotten Team Rejuvenation]

After LeBron James tore apart Jeffries' defense on the perimeter, the offensive momentum became unstoppable...... All he saw was Dug entrenched in the basket.

Snoopy's eyes were full of provocation, and he safely let Andrea Valejo go to the sidelines, and his goal was very clear: to go head-to-head!

This provocation is something LeBron James can't ignore.

He sees himself as a high man, and if he passes the ball at this time, even if Vallejo gets a dunk. Snoopy will also use this to taunt, and... He'd studied the kid's game, and he was the best at striking the ball, and maybe the next second he passed to Vallejo, he would swoop over and flip Vallejo straight into the depths of the box: despite his poor forward defense, his mobility under the basket has been recognized by everyone.

So, LeBron James put his heart on the side.

After stepping to the free throw line, go straight to the ball. He believed in his fierce strength and bounce, and he didn't believe that the one-meter-ninety-three Duge could cover himself with all his might.

Burst!

Burst!

After two firm and powerful acceleration steps, his body rose into the air like thunder and lightning in the penalty area.

But to his surprise, Snoopy under the basket did not meet him head-on.

Instead, he turned sideways, was he going to give up the defense?

LeBron James didn't have time to think too much about it, and as the basket got closer, he smashed the ball into the basket...... This dunk is powerful, and if there is no accident, it is definitely the top five ball level tonight.

However, at the very moment when the violent buckle was about to happen...... Burst!

LeBron James suddenly felt a strong impact on his waist, and then his body shook, just as he was about to increase his strength to smash the basketball into the basket...... Syllable!

One palm pressed the basketball, and the two completed the sideways confrontation in the air!

Stalemate with each other, in terms of strength, comparable!

But... At the same time that LeBron James tried in vain to straighten his waist and exert his strength for the second time.

A huge force has come from the other side of the basketball in advance.

Immediately, the basketball is out of control!

Fly to the rebound, and after a bang, bounce out.

At the same time as the basketball bounced out, LeBron James was shocked to find that Snoopy, who had completed the block, quickly landed on the ground and quickly bounced up again... He reached out and gave the basketball to Zach Randolph.

Hold on to the results of this defense.

If the cap has a sneak attack component, then... This secondary bounce ability is completely beyond the scope of LeBron James's imagination.

In fact, it is beyond everyone's imagination!

Snoopy actually completed the block on LeBron James???

A group of fans at Madison Garden, who were about to shout MVP, were at a loss, and the shouts that came to their lips could only be swallowed in their throats.

Snoppy…… DU! DU! DU!

The roar of the live DJ woke up the Duke's supporters, and Madison Garden was filled with screams and cheers, and the entire arena was like a boiling kettle, steaming and full of passion!

"If I'm not mistaken, this is the second time I've blocked you."

Amid the cheers in the sky, Dugg calmly told LeBron James: "You should listen to these young people cheering and see who they are cheering for." The future belongs to them. ”

Immediately, he took Zachrandolph's pass and pushed forward.

LeBron James's swarthy face was full of depression, he didn't expect this kid to really cover himself, and... He actually said 'future', isn't the future mine?

He remembered what he heard in San Antonio more than two years ago: When Tim Duncan handpicked James as the league's future ruler after the Spurs eliminated the Cavaliers. But... The old fritters of the Pan 96 generation are becoming more and more shameless. The Lakers form a galaxy battleship, the Celtics hold a big three, and the new generation even Dwight Howard has to step in sideways.

This gives LeBron James a strong sense of crisis that he can be crowned smoothly in the future.

At this time, Isaiah Thomas had more confidence in Snoopy's future with this block, and he deliberately said to Donnie Walsh: "See? Snoopy's strength is no weaker than James'. His bounce speed and rate are far superior to James's. In the paint zone, James is definitely not able to provide the same quality of defense. ”

"But he will never have the ability to kill with the ball like James, nor can he chase from the back to the front court to complete the block like him. There is no way to hit those difficult jump shots...... Even if Snoopy blocks James ten times, James's status is much higher than Snoopy's, there is no doubt about it! "Donnie Walsh is very tough, he's a big pusher for the Knicks' 2010 plan!

The two were at a stalemate.

James Dolan on the side said, "Why do you have to let them be different? Can't we have them at the same time? ”

As soon as James Dolan's words came out, the two of them suddenly had new thoughts.

Donnie Walsh clapped his palm...... Oh, yes! Why quarrel pointlessly over this issue? Snoopy and LeBron James, when a team has two misplaced physical talents, even a defensive powerhouse like the Boston Celtics has to be a big headache, right?

Donnie Walsh suddenly brightened.

Isaiah Thomas was not impressed, he had never thought of James' plan to fight with Snoopy. In his mind, Snoopy and James are the same kind of players. He even thinks that Donnie Walsh's eyes are full of discrimination, because he must have in mind that LeBron James is in charge and Snoopy is the perfect support.

Can... Why does Snoopy want to play support for LeBron James?

Isaiah Thomas was quite unhappy, he thought that Dug could grow into a star of the same grade as LeBron James, and what he said in the media before was all heartfelt.

But the current situation is that everyone treats his words as a joke.

However, it also made him hold his breath.

He has decided to get off the coaching staff himself after All-Star Weekend. He has to train Snoopy hand-in-hand, and at the same time meddle in the tactical system!

He didn't want his future superstar on both ends of the floor to be distracted by D'Antoni's run.

At the same time, ESPN is also exploring this issue.

"Snoopy may develop into a good controller under D'Antoni's system, but at the same time, his talent on the defensive end will be greatly consumed."

When McBrin threw out the topic.

Reggie Miller and Bill Wharton agreed.

They are very uneasy about D'Antoni's defensive ability.

Bill Walton even went so far as to suggest: "The Knicks should probably recall Larry Brown back to the Knicks, he's definitely the best head coach for Snoopy." ”

Of course, this is just advice.

The amazing thing is, though.

Snoopy and Jeffries on the pitch begin to develop chemistry.

Jeffries is a strange player, he is 211 tall and has an arm span of 219, which is the standard center build. But he was too thin to survive in the box, and he didn't have the attacking skills of a centre-forward. And playing as a big forward, he still can't bear the opponent. Small forward? His offensive means are pitiful. Scoring guard vs. point guard? It's not even something he's able to get into, and his ball handling and shooting ability are terrible.

However, Isaiah Thomas gave him a five-year, $30 million contract...... In fact, with the hefty luxury tax of buy one pay two, the actual salary paid by the Knicks should be sixty million over five years.

This was once thought to be a stupid decision made by Isaiah Thomas to take care of his elementary students at Indiana University.

But... Flip through his data and you'll find ...... He's actually doing a pretty good job. Last season, he even ranked sixth in the league in defensive efficiency, and he was dubbed the "ultimate defensive expert" by basketball pundits because he averaged 1.27 offensive fouls per game and his help zone could go from the three-point line straight into the paint.

But... What is the role of these high-dimensional stats on a bad team like the Knicks?

No one here cares about defense at all.

Therefore, he is still regarded as a model of garbage contracts, and is constantly criticized by the New York media.

However, tonight!

After Snoopy blocked LeBron James' explosive dunk, he began to play his role, giving LeBron James ubiquitous defensive influence and even being able to drive LeBron James into Snoopy's defensive zone at some point.

And after being blocked, LeBron James's breakthrough seems to be much more restrained.

However, his restraint has had a huge impact on Cleveland's outside shooters, making it impossible for them to calmly receive passes and shoots.

They have to create their own opportunities.

Pity... It's not something they're good at.

Zachrandolph, meanwhile, has become more and more precise with Dug's weak-side play, as Ilgoskas can't spread his defensive influence beyond the paint, while Randolph is a power forward who can shoot from mid-range.

With this happening, McBrown's plan to break down the Knicks in two quarters fell through.

The Knicks kept eating away at the Cavaliers' lead.

It wasn't until the end of the second quarter that two unreasonable three-pointers in a row finally alleviated the embarrassment of the Cavaliers being tied by the New York rotation.

But even then, the Cavaliers only led by four points into the locker room.

"I have the impression that LeBron James has only failed in front of one player. That's Yao Shu, I looked at LeBron James's data sheet, and in all the games he played against Yao Shu, his stats dropped a lot. But tonight... Snoopy, who is sitting on the inside, also let him experience this feeling. Earl Johnson said with a smile as he commented on the ball in midfield.

"LeBron James is not afraid of Yao Shu, but afraid of the combination of Sean Battier and Yao Shu. One is good at helping defense, and the other is a giant who stands under the basket. This combination is more restrained by James's style of play. In fact, Snoopy and Jeffries, plus the huge tonnage of Zach Randolph, they combined to produce much of the same effect. Bill Wharton expertly analyzed.

"Have you noticed one thing that the Knicks' garbage contract seems to be slowly coming alive because of Snoopy's arrival...... Jeffries, Quentin Richardson and Zach Randolph are all playing like they did before they got a garbage contract. Reggie Miller said suddenly.

His conjecture made New York fans in front of the TV frown: If these garbage contracts can play the same performance as last contract, then the Knicks will not be the model of the bad team they are now. But. It would be nice if it could really be like what Reggie Miller said!

In reality, this is exactly the best outcome that Isaiah Thomas envisioned.

He returned to New York to wash away his humiliation, and he placed his hopes of a Jedi reversal on Snoopy.

So, at half-time, he walked into the dressing room.
