0495: [Rookie is the pinnacle]
Call!
Donnie Walsh let out a deep breath of turbidity, then stretched, looked at the constantly flickering neon lights outside the office, and muttered to himself: "What young person doesn't love the hustle and bustle of a big city?" ”
……
Since the Duke Snoopy vs. Boston Celtics game at Christmas, the rest of the team seems to have come to a consensus, and they have put on a neat and consistent defensive play. Their line-up is always a mobile inside line outside the penalty area inside the free throw line, accompanied by a support.
This is indeed a great clamp for Lord Duke, who is only good at breaking through in a straight line, causing his breakthrough damage to drop rapidly.
While Snoopy can still help the team in terms of interior defense and assists, his current plummeting stats are a foregone conclusion.
With the Knicks losing back-to-back home games to the Dallas Mavericks and Chicago Bulls, the talk of Snoopy becoming the second flying squirrel Stoudemire has become even louder.
7 points, 8 assists, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks on 2-of-9 shooting, this is the stat sheet handed over by Snoopy against the Dallas Mavericks.
10 points, 6 assists, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks on 3-of-11 shooting, which is all the stats for the Chicago Bulls.
In these two games, the Knicks lost by 11 and 15 points, respectively.
Zach Randolph scored 26 and 29 points, respectively, and his performance was as praised as ever.
However, Duke Snoopy seems to be in a state of great doubt.
Especially in the direct dialogue with Derrick Rose, he showed a complete disadvantage. Derrick Rose, the champion of '08, scored 25 points, 11 assists, 7 rebounds and 1 steal in the whole game, and his control of the game was even more relatable to the superstar. Since defensive coach Thibodo took over the Bulls, Derrick Rose has officially entered the fast lane. Especially since Christmas, the average of 22.5 points, 9.0 assists and 6.5 rebounds per game has even made critics can't help but include him in the comparison with Chris Paul's No. 1 point guard in the league.
But more are now referring to him as the Chicago Revival Hope, the No. 1 LeBron James.
His extremely talented and spectator style of play has earned him more and more fans, and no one doesn't like his fast-paced, high-speed performance that directly changes to the lever and crashes under the basket without downshifting. His ability to control his body is S-class, and compared to Snoopy, Bill Simmons even viciously claims that Snoopy looks like a humanoid doll made of steel, and that he will never be able to run as fast as Derrick Rose, let alone those high-end reversing, pull-up, and fold-up layups.
Such rhetoric is rapidly spreading in basketball circles.
Those experts and commentators who have been slapped in the face by Duge's miraculous performance are all kinds of excitement and all kinds of exuberant analysis. It is as if the morality he adheres to has finally been verified, and he is still an absolute authority that will not make mistakes.
In the midst of this trend, there is more and more talk about Snoopy's trade. Because rumors about LeBron James joining New York are becoming more and more real, and Snoopy really seems to be doing what the pundits claim: there is no more potential left. Now is the time when he has the highest trade value, and he is the epitome of a rookie!
Gradually, these voices appeared in the New York media, albeit in underweight media. But its appearance is still proving ...... As Patrick Ewing puts it, this big-city team really doesn't have that 'one-and-all' outside culture.
Dugg was indifferent to this, and he just had a simple phone call with Lin before the Chicago Bulls game, and the two sides agreed on a few things, especially the trade aspect. In the future, until the closing of the deal, neither side will make any response or explanation in the media about the trade rumors, and wait and see what happens.
In Madison Garden's third consecutive home game, Duke Snoopy went off the court with an injury: at that time, he steals Louis Williams in the frontcourt, and then launches a quick break, and when he rushes to the basket for a dunk, 76ers star Iguodala rushes up from his side and tries to block. However, the right hand that was swung out vigorously did not succeed in covering the basketball, but the body hung on the Duke's arm.
This deformed the Duke's left hand, although his left hand was still firmly hanging on the basket, but with a man hanging from his shoulder. He inevitably suffered a strain on his left wrist, and when he landed, he quickly stopped the game with a grin and asked the team doctor to treat him.
When the whole screen was replayed on the big screen overhead, the entire arena was screaming. Under the scrutiny in slow motion, everyone realized how dangerous Snoopy's violent buckle was just now, and even many people felt that Iguodala's ferocious blow was very likely to break the duke's bones, coupled with the huge weight acceleration pulling downward, the injury must be very serious, right?
No one is optimistic about this.
Charles Barkley on the TNT commentary bench even made a pessimistic prediction: "This force is like an elephant stepping on his wrist, God forbid Snoopy from serious injuries such as broken bones and ruptured ligaments." His shooting is inherently inconsistent, and if his bones are shifted again, he could really be the epitome of 'rookie is the pinnacle'. ”
After a brief diagnosis, Dugg left the field.
The game went on, and in the end the Knicks emerged victorious.
While everyone knows that the 76ers are a weak team, they currently hold the third-to-last spot in the East. Can... When Snoopy was on the floor, the Knicks were still two points behind, and after he left injured, the Knicks won by 11 points.
This gives the bearers a big rationale: Snoopy has become a negative asset for the Knicks. He and Zach Randolph can only exist one.
In the midst of such sounds, Snoopy's injury report came out, with a slight torn ligament and a moderate muscle strain.
Because the injury at the wrist is relatively troublesome, which is related to the feel and ball, the authoritative doctor in kinesiology recommends that the injury be stopped for three to four weeks.
When this injury report came out, the fans who cared about Dug were of course relieved, and at the same time sighed that Snoopy's physical fitness was really amazing, and in that case, it was only a small strain.
"It's going to be a relaxing holiday for me and I'll be flying to Los Angeles tomorrow. My team has arranged some commercial gigs for me because my economic representative has told me that I have some deficit in my finances and I have to hurry up and fix it. “
Snoopy's expression was relaxed in an interview, and he even complained to himself: "God knows why I invest in so many Silicon Valley Internet companies." “
And his statement means that he will not travel with the team to Cleveland, Atlanta, Orlando. And these opponents have been eyeing Snoopy's arrival since the schedule was announced.
But, whatever.
Anyway, the entertainment media is already boiling, and this remark means that everyone can see the figure of Lord Duke on the entertainment station again, and they are tired of going to the sports channel again and again to grab the information of Lord Duke...... During this time, those inexplicable basketball experts were always attacking Lord Duke.
The entertainment industry doesn't want to see this bad news.
So, the night Lord Duke flew to Los Angeles, Oprah congratulated him on her interview show: "Hey, man. Do you know how much we miss your return? You are a phenomenal singer and a phenomenal idol. Boys and girls all over the world are waiting for your latest news, but all this time we always see those rebounds, points, assists, and some guys who make a living from basketball comment on you. This is definitely not what we want. ”
This made the Duke spread his palms and smiled helplessly. While it may seem strange to put your left hand on a protective gear, in Oprah's words, "Thank goodness you only hurt your left wrist a little." It won't even affect you from imitating Michael Jackson's classic dance on stage. ”
Snoopy raised an eyebrow, which he guessed was Oprah's teasing of Mr. Jackson's white gloves when he danced.
Oprah was quick to inquire about the hottest topic that gossip fans had been discussing during this time: the Christmas mahjong incident.
However, as an orthodox talk show host, she just clicked: "Let's talk about Christmas." So, can you tell us which of the four female celebrities with very different styles who appeared in your house at Christmas is your girlfriend? It seems that they all want to be the mistress of the house, but in fact they are very restrained. Now there are even rumors that you didn't have any emotional communication with them at all, and that everything that happened before was a fake. ”
"I've read the news reports and all I can say is that 99 percent of the assumptions are wrong. Regarding the question of the hostess, I think it is a question that can only be answered at a wedding. Finally, I would like to seriously promote mahjong as a brain-strengthening sport, which can effectively resolve differences, release stress and generate great pleasure. ”
Duke Snoopy's reply was both official and tactful.
Oprah didn't continue to ask, leaving the audience in front of the TV in huge suspense, and then moved on to the next topic.
After a friendly and cordial visit, the show quickly came to a close, and Oprah made a friendly promotion for Lord Duke at the end of the show: "Okay, dear Duke fans. The following Tuesday, you'll see Snoopy perform at the MTV Awards. And next Saturday, he will hold his solo concert at Staples Arena. I'm sure you're going to see a lot of people on both occasions that you would like to see. Like Scarlett Johansson, Taylor Swift, Miley Sellers, ......"
As Oprah continued to sign words, Snoopy quickly stepped forward and covered her mouth with his hand.
It looks funny.
It's full of comedy.
But it does give the audience more expectations.
