0099: [Love at first sight]

Hearing this self-introduction, Duge and Russell Westbrook fell into an awkward situation almost at the same time, it is not polite to 'predict' the loss of other teams' behind their backs, and... These words were also heard.

"I'm sorry." Duge hurriedly apologized: "This is just my subjective opinion, and it will not affect the progress of the game." Stan Van Gundy is a very good manager and he will take the game in his stride. In fact, I really admire his 'semi-circle tactic', and I even think it's the best tactic for me at the moment. ”

"Oh?" Otis Smith's eyebrows flew again, and he said, "You also know Mr. Van Gundy's semi-circle tactics?" ”

"As you know, I'm going to be in the draft. But my draft projections aren't particularly good, and I could be drafted by any team or missed by every team. So, I took a hard look at the tactics of all teams in the NBA. Among them, the two sides of this match are the two best teams in my schedule. Dugg said seriously, "So, I came to Orlando a day early. ”

Otis Smith's eyebrows never lowered, and he said with interest: "Then can you tell me why you are suitable for the Orlando Magic?" ”

"Because of Mr. Stan Van Gundy's semi-circle tactics! It's a different set of tactics from the big four and the big four and the big four and the big four and the big and four and so different from the big four and the big four and the big and four small of Mr. D'Antoni. The Suns and Warriors' big four emphasize sacrificing rebounds to achieve quick offense and defense. But Orlando's big four are precisely with Dwight Howard as the core, giving him plenty of rebounding space and help defense, which is why Orlando has the most rebounds in the league. ”

"Go on." Otis Smith nodded, motioning for Dugg to continue.

"In Stan Van Gundy's defensive system, the way of defending outside players is a bit like the Spurs, where the outside players force the opponent to go to the bottom line and the sidelines. This makes it easier for Dwight Howard to block or steal. And I'm one of the best blockers in the NCAA, and I once kept Michael Beasley from breaking into the paint. Also, my basket protection efficiency was the best in the NCAA tournament last season. I can be a good substitute for Dwight. ”

"And, I'm compatible with Dwight. My lower body strength can help Dwight withstand some opponents, which makes his blocks easier. And I have the ability to make him fly higher and dunk more in the paint. ”

Dugg looked into Otis Smith's eyes sincerely.

"What you said made my heart flutter." Odyscht held out his hand to Duge: "I'll let the scouts keep an eye on you in the gym." ”

"However, your prediction was inaccurate and I think tonight's victory belongs to Orlando. Dwight's individual offensive prowess is underrated. ”

Otis Smith's tone was confident.

Dugg smiled awkwardly.

Then, the mood of watching the game became dull.

Little did he know at this time that all of his conversations with Smith had fallen into the ears of Stan Van Gundy in front of him.

However, Van Gundy did not join the conversation because the game was very intense. The two teams enter an endless muscular confrontation, especially in the penalty area, like a meat grinder.

Westbrook was amazed by the intensity of his defense.

Dugg was also wondering if I could withstand the backlash between Rasheed Wallace and McDyes, if I were in Dwight Howard's position.

The answer is not obvious.

But... The game was already clear with Hamilton's sixteen-foot jumper five seconds before the end of the game.

81:78。

Orlando needed at least a three-pointer to drag the game into overtime.

However, they ultimately failed to capitalize on that opportunity, and Nelson's steal from beyond the three-point line was missed, and although Dwight Howard put the basket into the basket in the final moments, it didn't mean anything other than adding two points to his stats and one rebound from the frontcourt.

81:80。

The game is over.

The Amway Centre sighed.

The Detroit Pistons got a match point in the final minute and the overall score is currently 3-1.

At this moment, Dugg and Westbrook's mood is quite complicated. On the one hand, the prediction succeeded. But on the other hand, Odessmith sat next to him with a grim face.

This makes them uncomfortable in what they do.

So, they quickly got up the moment the whistle blew at the end of the game and prepared to leave.

But at this moment, a voice came from behind him: "That UCLA kid, stop!" Yes, that's you, Snoopy. ”

Dugg looked back and saw Stan Van Gundy waving to him.

Dugg and Westbrook glanced at each other, worry in each other's eyes.

Eventually, however, Doog walked over.

Stan Van Gundy called Dug to the pitch and then called the players over: "Come, tell us why this game failed." ”

Dugg panicked, he looked up and looked around. None of the players looked at him with the word 'friendly'.

However, when the eye came into contact with Stan Van Gundy, it was affirmed and encouraged by his eyes.

Dugg was a smart man, and he immediately understood that Stan Van Gundy was clearly hoping to say something through his own mouth.

But... I'm not stupid. To be honest, I'm going to offend at least two people.

"You just have to say what you think as a regular audience." Stan Van Gundy said.

Dugg froze, but finally spoke: "As a regular spectator, I'm glad I can see such a high-level game. Every player gave their best in this game and I can feel the sweat from your jerseys that you have put in your efforts for the glory of this city. ”

"Dwight's hand-to-hand combat in the box was terrifying, and he loved basketball, honor, and the city with every impact and every challenge."

"And then there's Mr. Nelson, who, whenever he hits the opponent's strongest player with his diminutive body, is not afraid to strike bravely even in the Pistons' muscular jungle. It reminds me of David, who sprinted at the giant Goliath, you are just as brave and tenacious, and I must take my hat off for this. ”

"And then there's Mr. Turkoglu and Mr. Rashad Lewis, who hit the opponent hard at the free throw line and on the perimeter respectively, using their agility, intelligence and precision to play the opponent's ......"

“……”

Duger's words softened the eyes of the Magic players looking at him.

Even though it feels terrible to lose, it's still a great pleasure to be recognized and appreciated by others.

Especially Nelson, he thinks this kid is too right, I am the David of the NBA, and I am a lone hero who is more Iverson than Iverson.

And Dwight Howard, who even smiled at the corners of his mouth, and kept nodding his head: yes, I'm a man full of love.

"Ahem." Stan Van Gundy coughed twice.

He could hear Dug's voice, but from the reactions of the players, they didn't understand it. They thought it was heartfelt appreciation.

So, he reminded: "In addition to these advantages, are there no shortcomings? ”

"Uh," Dugg smiled and said, "I think Dwight is too responsible on the offensive end, he likes to carry all the pressure on his shoulders too much. I think he needs to release some pressure sometimes and get some shots on the periphery. Perhaps, Mr. Tekoglu can give him more high throws that smash into the basket over the opponent's head. ”

"And Mr. Nelson, who was always so brave. But for the sake of his long-term career, he should cut back on some suicide attacks and maybe let Tekoglu play his opponents with a rumba-like pace, which would be more preferable. ”

At this point, Dugg stopped at the point.

In fact, his words are the same as Stan Van Gundy emphasized before the game.

He also hopes that Turkoglou can play a more important role in the game.

However, Dwight Howard has always wanted to get shots on the offensive end that match his position, and he wants to shoot more shots per game. Nelson, on the other hand, is a muscle-controlled brain, a penchant for brainless charging and single-mindedness, and his shooting choices are so bad that he wants to send him back to kindergarten to learn ABCD.

After Duge said these words, he made a fist to all the magic players: "Come on! I'm sure you're going to do wonders. ”

With that, he waved to Stan Van Gundy and turned to leave.

Everyone looked at him with admiration.

"What a child." Dwight applauded.

"yes, maybe we should get him to Orlando. It's home to the world's largest Disney park. Nelson also quipped.

Stan Van Gundy looked at them with concern in his eyes: Didn't you hear that this kid had just scolded you?

However, he also thought that maybe he should be recruited to Orlando.

So, after summarizing the failures in the locker room and criticizing Howard and Nelson by name, he hurried to the post-game press conference. At last... Sitting in the team's video room with Odis Smith, they watched the full Snoopy video highlights that the scouts had prepared for them.

"We deserve him." Stan Van Gundy clapped his hands excitedly when he saw Snoopy lift the MOP trophy at the end, and then told Thaddeus, "We have to get him." He's a great fit for my half-circle play, and his blocks and rebounds are efficient for Dwight Howard. And he has more strength in his lower body, able to withstand more than 65 percent of the NBA's low-post singles, and Dwight is not very good at that. In addition, he has the ability to respond that Dwight does not have. ”

"Actually, if he were 10 centimetres taller, he would be the best player for my system."

Stan Van Gundy gave Snoopy the highest rating: "Also, he's very smart and eloquent, and both Dwight and Nelson have said that they will make changes in the next game. So, I don't care what you do, Snoopy has to be on the roster for next season. ”

His words surprised Otis Smith.

Smith thought for a moment: Am I still going to trade you for a champion lot?

Back home, Smith checked some reviews on the draft network. With Snoopy's current projection of the highest 19th pick, he thought to himself that it was time to talk to the Golden State Warriors, who have the 14th pick, or the Philadelphia 76ers, who have the 16th pick, about trading chips.
