0157: [Thank you for your patronage]

"Humph!"

Sean Marion cocked his chin disapprovingly. He didn't think that this rookie's passing would be better than his own, after all, he had learned passing skills from Stephen Nash, the best passer in the league today.

At this time, assistant coach Kiessmart walked up to Spoelstra and whispered a few words.

Then Spoelstra delivered an order from Pat Riley: Sean Marion was to take a break. Margloyle stepped up to the centre and Snoopy dropped back to the number four.

……

When Sean Marion's eyes widened and questioned whether Spoelstra was mistaken, Josh Smith on the other side of the pitch was making an exaggerated laugh: "I knew early on that kid was overrated, but I didn't expect him to be like a lost white rabbit, wandering around our forward group without any sense of existence. ”

Josh Smith is on his way to becoming the Eagles' No. 2 pick, even though his draft pick is well below Marvin Williams and Al Horford. However, his excellent physicality and explosive style of play are making him the darling of Atalanta fans.

In contrast, Marvin Williams in '04 and Elhofd in '07, they seem calm and even silent.

In recent years, both head coach McWoodson and general manager Billy Knight have shown that they are losing control of the draft: they seem to be addicted to forwards. Today, Atalanta's bench is almost entirely made up of six-foot-seven to six-foot-nine forwards.

"Listen, boys. Let's not mistake the main purpose of tonight. We're going to take away the victory from here, not the ridicule of Snoopy. It doesn't mean anything to us. Even if you blow him up and dunk on his head, it won't change the fact that Taylor Swift and Miley Sellers are still obsessed with him. ”

Mike Beeby walked over and spoke like a leader.

The Hawks' trade for another high-pick forward, Sheldon Williams, for Mike Bibby was their most successful trade in recent years. He's becoming the playmaker of a talented but siloed team.

"Then deduct two more of him, hahahaha." Josh Smith laughed arrogantly.

At this time, tick!

The whistle blows and the game continues.

When Margoloyle walked onto the field, Al Horford hurriedly followed. And Marvin Williams automatically followed Dugg's footsteps.

Marvin Williams is from North Carolina and was the super sixth man on the North Carolina winning roster that year. With a height of 206, an arm span of 217, and a maximum bounce of more than 90 centimeters, he has above-the-level rebounding ability and delicate mid-to-long-range shooting.

Therefore, he beat Paul, Delon and the other three in North Carolina in 05 to get the second pick.

However, after arriving in the NBA, he was gradually distanced by the people behind him, and some people even began to say that he was a parallel import.

Originally, he could play both the No. 3 and No. 4 positions in the NCAA. But now in the NBA, the No. 3 and No. 4 positions are a little inadequate. Because he doesn't have a great ability to hold the ball and play with his back to his back.

So, in an era where the half-court position is still the main game, his energy can only be locked in the body.

Dugg quickly picked up basketballs from beyond the three-point line, and Marvin Williams expanded out. To be honest, his single defense ability is still good, and his foot movement is relatively good.

However, the action rate is a little slower.

Especially when Dug's explosive power increases...... Bang!

The moment Snoopy stepped out of his left foot, he loosened his defence, and then... Bang!

The sharp change of direction in front of the body was completed almost instantaneously.

Marvin Williams' defense was three-quarters out, and he simply turned sideways to try to keep up with Duger's breakaway: according to the team's video editor, Dug's breakthrough was not very fast.

However, when he turned sideways.

Dugg took a big step straight away, he almost stepped on the free throw line, and the pace was so big that Marvin Williams' defense instantly fell behind by half a beat.

Dugg was quick to take the second step, and his pace allowed him to shake off Williams' defense.

Seeing this, Josh Smith quickly shrank his defense. He's going to give Dugg an overwhelmed pegboard hat.

However, just as he took the second step in shrinking his defense, the basketball flew over his head and went straight to the corner.

When Dorrell Wright received the basketball, he was even a little surprised, he didn't expect Dugg to pass the ball to him: after all, he was a member of the UNLV gang who was at odds with him.

However, there was only a moment of astonishment. As a professional, he quickly shot the basketball, and hit it accurately...... Swish!

Three-point hit.

It's a nice assist,

"Snoopy's breakthrough looks weird, stiff like a robot, but it works outstandingly." Speaking from the commentary stand, Earl Johnson said: "This breakaway shot was a way to break up Atalanta's defense, and he made Dorrell Wright's shot a normal three-point drill. ”

TNT praised Dugg for the breakaway. Although they have also participated in the ridicule of the 'point guard meme' before. But Kenny Smith still said from the bottom of his heart: "He's a player with point guard genes." ”

On this point, Pat Riley has long seen it.

At this moment, what surprised him the most was... Snoopy's use of breakthrough footwork. Cut the defense with sharp and swift small steps, tear up the space and immediately take a big step to expand the offensive advantage, and at the same time attract Josh Smith to help the defense, just the right way to pass the basketball to the corner.

Everything fits perfectly, like a precision instrument.

Pat Riley turned around and couldn't help but feel a little smug: "Mickey, what do you think of this ball just now?" ”

"Hmm. Not bad. Ellison nodded, then added: "I heard that Dorrell Wright has added another 5 centimeters to his height since joining the team, so now he is almost two meters one?" ”

Yes?

Only then did Pat Riley realize that the boss was not the same person as he thought, and he quickly replied: "It's two meters and nine now, maybe it's two meters and one." ”

Mitch Ellison nodded: "I think this kind of tall shooter will become more and more popular." I realized that the league was probably going to enter the era of small ball, and the interior players who didn't shoot would be eliminated quickly. Future... The ability to open up space is the first criterion for judging the inside line. ”

Pat Riley agrees.

But at the same time, he also heard a little bit of an overtone: it seems that the owner is not optimistic about Snoopy in basketball, he just wants to use Snoopy as a cash cow.

This is contrary to Pat Riley's thinking. He wants to make Snoopy a privileged star who can execute his ideal tactics flawlessly, rather than a role player who sits on the bench and adds millions of dollars to the club's annual revenue.

Rumble!

There was a loud bang on the pitch, and Josh Smith's arrogant expression was already visible on the huge TV on the VIP wall, and he pounded his chest hard and roared. Then he pointed to the free-throw line, where Snoopy was standing.

"You're next."

He yelled at Snoopy defiantly.

Just now, when Dugg was pulled to the left side of the free throw line by Marvin Williams, Josh Smith rushed into the box from the right and received an empty pass from Mike Bibby, and he completed the dunk directly on Margloyle's head.

The violent dunk showed off his physicality in full swing, and Margoloyle looked awkward underneath him.

After landing, he directly provoked Duge.

This sparked a collective boo at the American Airlines Center arena.

Duge's expression was as calm as water, he didn't want to engage in meaningless verbal battles, but he was muttering in his heart: Why don't these black players give up when they see the Yellow River? If you scratch off the layer and see the word 'thank you', you should throw away the ticket. Why do you have to see 'patronage' to give up?
