0458:[The Lost Zachrandorf]
"It's clear that Mr. Bynum is still haunted by the rumors that he has been involved in the Snoopy deal. He repeatedly claimed before the game that he would prove that he was more worthy than Snoopy. ”
Earl Johnson said: "At that time, I recognized him more. But now, with Snoopy making leaps and bounds on the offensive end, I think Snoopy's on-court value is no less than his, if you add Snoopy's huge commercial influence off the court. I can't think of any reason for the Knicks to make this deal! ”
Charles Barkley on the side raised an eyebrow: "Actually... The New York uniforms have also never said they want to trade Snoopy. ”
"That's because the Lakers aren't proposing a trade that is worth much. If other teams are willing to put up a top 20 star as a bargaining chip, I can't think of any reason for New York to say no. Kenny Smith emphasized beside him.
Neither Barkley nor Earl Johnson have raised objections to this. Because they know what it means to be a top 20 star in the league. It's not something like Bynum and the like. Normally, this level is the absolute core of teams above the middle table, and once it comes to their trade, it can be called a big earthquake in the league!
If the Knicks are given a chance to have a top star, it's hard not to be impressed.
Zach Randolph also considers himself one of the league's top stars, but right now, he can only sit in the Staples Arena apathely, and he doesn't even follow the players back to the locker room.
Now he's really panicking.
He didn't expect that in less than a year, the situation would change so drastically.
"At the beginning, I helped him get to the top."
Randolph looked up at the sky above Stepus Arena, and he looked more confused than ever.
He originally wanted to suppress Snoopy's growing desire to shoot through court tactics, and he didn't want an outside player to have more balls on the offensive end than he did. He hopes that Dugg will do a good job of tandem, defense, and strategy.
However, Snoopy has tried too much on the offensive end this season, and he has even started to distribute the ball more to his teammates on the perimeter. This made Randolph realize that his stats would drop significantly, so he adopted a cold-violent confrontation mode.
He thought he was ranked 26th in the league and averaged close to 30+10 per game in the Finals to suppress Snoopy.
Now, however, cold violence has become a cold bench.
And, once the Knicks get tonight's victory. Back in New York, Snoopy's popularity will be even higher, and there will even be fans shouting... Trade Randolph!
After all, there is a classic saying in the NBA: 'It's not terrible to win, it's embarrassing to be missing'. A lot of stars who have made a name for themselves have been replaced by bench players because they missed games, and the team improved their record and then got traded.
Zach Randolph didn't want to leave New York at all, and in the whole of the United States, where could there be a better place for him to survive in a big city than New York.
Call!
Randolph sighed.
He suddenly realized that he was going to make peace with Snoopy.
"I don't think the Knicks have the slightest hope of winning tonight." At this time, Jeffries on the side spoke: "Those fledgling rookies will easily get lost when they face a championship-level defense. And Snoopy, Phil Jackson couldn't have allowed him to hit the paint zone like this all the time. ”
He had been egging Charles Barkley to fight Snoopy.
Because he has long realized that he is far inferior to the two rookies in Snoopy's mind, they are Snoopy's hardcore little brothers. And themselves... How is it possible to be a junior brother to a prospective rookie who has only played in the NBA for two years? So, he followed closely behind Zach Randolph, hoping that Randolph would make a public break with Duge. Once Randolph wins the final victory, then his position will also rise because of the rising tide.
Randolph sighed slightly and said, "I hope so! ”
In fact, he already knew in his heart that with Snoopy's breakthrough lethality, even if his current strength was not as good as his own. But his position in the hearts of the fans has long surpassed himself, and his weight in the eyes of the management is also greater than himself.
The thought of rebuilding himself began to pop up in his head.
However, he did not know Duge's character. Dugg can give you a lot of opportunities before the breakup, but after the break, you don't want to get the slightest chance of getting back together from him.
About ten minutes later, the Knicks came out of the tunnel one after another.
Typically, players enter the dressing room at half-time with something to refuel their strength, and the coaching team takes the time to analyse with the players what they lacked in the first half, including the movement of specific players and the attacking tendencies of specific opponents. Of course, the most important thing is... A general adjustment to the tactics for the second half.
Judging by the relaxed expressions on the faces of the Knicks players, it seems like they're ready for anything. For today's Knicks players, they have long formed an invisible consensus in their hearts, as long as Snoopy is still calm, then there is no need to worry about the sky falling.
Looking at the picture of his teammates complementing Snoopy, Zach Randolph couldn't hide his loss. Especially when he saw his former good brother Eddie Curry all the more hiccups in front of Snoopy, he felt more and more lonely.
……
Backbite!
The whistle blew and the second half officially began.
Andrew Bynum is finally back in the ring.
After Phil Jackson's deliberate suppression, he really showed a more ferocious posture, and as soon as he got on the field, he glared at Duge fiercely.
At the same time, Ron Artest also followed closely by Duge's side, with a posture of wanting to completely devour Dug alive.
But Dugg paid no attention to their outward emotions.
He did everything he could, just quietly involved in the defense.
When Kobe Bryant hit the first shot on the offensive end, Dugg didn't even reach for the ball like he did in the first half and push the half court himself. Instead, let Stephen Marbury take charge of the offense. At this time, the Knicks' five players are Marbury, Wesley Matthews, Dugg, David Lee and Eddie Curry.
Jeff Van Gundy proposed the team to play positional offense in the locker room.
Duge agreed.
He also believes that in the regular season, the tactical style of play should be more diverse.
Yibian fights again. Dugg mentioned that he made a solid pick-and-roll for Stephen Marbury from beyond the three-point line, and Marbury used the cover to quickly get into the paint, and under the block of Eddie Curry's massive frame, he easily rode an arrow and shot the basketball into the basket.
Looking back, the little shark forcibly singled the little shark.
Two guys who were once called the second O'Neal bumped into each other in the paint zone. Eddie Curry is also slow to move despite being terrible defensively. But his more than 300 pounds of fat is not afraid of Bynum's back singles at all.
Bynum couldn't get space after three hits, and at the same time, he had run out of room to turn. He can only passively pass the basketball to the hand...... But at the moment when the basketball came out of his hand, Dug suddenly shot out of the diagonal stab, although Artest on his side had already realized that Duge was going to steal, but while he moved laterally to try to intercept, Duge had already killed him like an arrow from the string!
Syllable!
The basketball was cut off by Duge.
Kobe Bryant and Shannon Brown immediately stepped back quickly, and they both remembered the Knicks' rapid offense in the first half.
However, Dugg steadied his rhythm as he handed the basketball to Marbury and slowly pushed towards the halfcourt.
Arriving at the frontcourt, Dugg still didn't take over the attack, he just kept moving in the high post. Help Marbury connect with the inside.
Swish!
David Lee hit an open shot with ease under Dug's pass.
Because Dugg and Marbury completed a relay breakthrough.
Marbury quickly made his way to the free throw line after blocking Dugg from outside the three-point line, and after attracting the bag, he passed the basketball to Dugg on the weak side. Dugg received the ball and rushed in again, Lamar Odom had to change the defense, and at the same time as he changed the defense, Dug's basketball had passed out from behind, and David Lee, who was standing at the free throw line, was already defenseless in front of and behind him!
So, shoot steadily and hit accurately!
It was a goal that upset Andrew Bynum.
When Dugg broke through with the ball, he originally thought Dugg would go straight in.
I didn't expect it...... He just rubbed outside the reasonable collision zone, and then the basketball passed to David Lee behind him, and hit an anti-aircraft gun!
Bynum was depressed.
He tried to say a couple of soft eggs or something like that, but Doog had already turned around to defend.
In the next quarter, Dugg took a total of 3 shots.
One was to play a defensive counterattack and use the speed advantage to score a backhand layup in the paint area.
The other two were jumpers from the free-throw line, hitting one of two shots.
The rest of the time, he was assisting Marbury and Kirkcinridge, who only came on in the ninth minute, to sort out the ball, and he was like a two-way marshal, constantly feeding his teammates on the weak side and high post. With his help, the Knicks shot nearly 65 percent from the field in a single quarter.
Moreover, the Knicks also relied on the excellent touch of David Lee, Matthews, Gallinari and others to take a four-point lead at the end of the third quarter.
This result was a big surprise to the fans.
"Without Zach Randolph, the Knicks could play such a fluid positional offense?? Eddie Curry actually got 6 points and 5 rebounds in a single quarter? ”
Earl Johnson's inter-segment comments are full of incredulity.
And his unbelievable and straightforward view gives New York fans a very clear and intuitive view: without Zach Randolph, the Knicks are better.
Although because Pau Gasol was not on the court, the Lakers' offensive firepower in the restricted area was insufficient, and the defensive range also shrank inward. But... They are still the defending champions and were able to lead the defending champions in the first three quarters. Needless to say, the Knicks were underrated. Their current rankings don't represent their true level. ”
Charles Barkley said, "If the Knicks trade Zach Randolph in the middle of the season, maybe they can still play a spoiler role in the East. ”
At this time, Dugg on the field had some verbal altercations with Bynum.
At the end of the game, Bynum was still 'tireless' chattering, and since the third quarter, words like coward, coward, and soft egg have been coming out of his mouth, and he is desperate to take out Snoopy in the restricted area.
However, Dugg has a different world outside the penalty area. He's in double digits in assists and just three rebounds away from a triple-double.
This gave Bynum a strong sense of crisis, and now the only way to prove that he is better than Snoopy is to block in person and win the final victory.
But Snoopy's reluctance to go deep into the box made him extremely depressed.
Therefore, when he left the game, he once again trash talk to Duge: "Look at your soft stomach, you don't even have the courage to enter the three-second zone of the penalty area." You must be sweating profusely in the face of those duchess girls at night, and you can't get up......"
Before his words fell, Snoopy's cold gaze had already swept over: "Don't put your life experience on others. Since you want me so much to slam the buckle on your head, get ready. ”
"Also, squirting feces in the mouth is not only unhygienic, it's also unhealthy. Wash your hands in the morning and evening, so that... Your female partner may be a little happier. ”
Duge dropped the words coldly, turned and walked to the bench.
Bynum held his breath again, his fists clucking, but he didn't dare step forward. After all... James Johnson, who has knocked out his opponent in the ring 23 times, is standing in front of him, and he has already issued a warning in the previous game because of the trash talk. If Bynum had dared to make a move, he would have absolutely snapped his arm off with an armbar before his fist could swing out.
、
Based on this situation, Mr. Bynum can only swear fiercely in his heart that he will definitely come back in anger in the fourth quarter!
