0533:Josh Smith
Syllable!
James Dolan raised his hand to turn off the TV, he didn't want to watch it any longer, he knew that continuing to watch it would only make his heart more breathless.
In fact, basketball fans throughout New York State felt an unconcealed sense of regret and loss as they watched the game.
They had witnessed such magical performances, and the image of Snoopy leading the team to a comeback and smashing the Eagles at Phillips Arena was still etched in their minds.
But now, they can only listen to Duke from the United Center arena through the screen! Duke! Duke!
The Duke is still the Duke, and he looks stronger than ever. Sadly, however, he is no longer wearing a Knicks jersey. He became the patron saint of another arena and became a hero to Chicagoans.
"You've got to get the signings you promised this summer, I don't want to be a joke with you!"
James Dolan told Donnie Walsh in extreme clarity before leaving the office.
Obviously, the New York boss who saw Snoopy flourish in Chicago is feeling a hint of regret at the moment, and his bottom line now is this summer's signing, and Walsh must deliver a satisfactory answer.
……
Backbite!
The whistle blew and after a short timeout, the game resumed.
Joe Johnson is finally back in action, and although he was a little out of shape tonight due to a stomach upset, he couldn't afford not to take on the opposition with Jamal Crawford completely dominated by Snoopy on both ends of the floor.
Once on the court, he tried to pull a single near the free throw line.
His skills are still very proficient, but the articulation is still not as good as before.
When he quickly changes direction and makes a quick turn to the left with a probe on his right foot...... Yikes!
Snoopy, who he expected to be unable to move so quickly, flashed and intercepted directly in front of him, making him have to stop, and at the same time changing hands behind his back to dribble, but at the moment he changed hands...... Derrick Rose struck with lightning and slammed the basketball off with a slap.
Then he launched a fierce counterattack with lightning speed.
Snoopy also quickly followed the two from the other side.
The two of them are at full throttle, and they can easily create a fast hurricane.
Atlanta's players are known for their athleticism, but at this moment, they also have to accept being behind.
Derrick Rose's speed with the ball can even enter the list of the fastest in the active game, and Snoopy tonight is also faster than usual, no slower than Derrick Rose without the ball!
This makes the Eagles' defensive options extremely difficult.
Eventually, Horford and Marvin Williams joined forces to besiege Rose. But Rose chose to pass the ball to Snoopy outside the three-point line again after taking their defense to the basket.
Snoopy received the basketball, and Josh Smith, the core of the Hawks' perimeter defense, quickly stepped up.
He put out 100 percent of his energy.
But, because of his 100 percent focus, Snoopy was just a little upward, and Joshsmith soared into the sky like a frightened bird.
When he jumped, the defensive position was gone.
Snoopy drove straight in, with great speed, and after two steps into the box, Marvin Williams and Al Horford had not yet established a new defensive line, and could only watch Snoopy slice through the air...... Rumble!
The Duke's violent buckle is sinking strongly!!
The United Center Arena is already boiling!
Everyone was pulling their excited voices to make the most high-spirited sounds.
Snoopy scored 11 points in a row after returning to the court, and the No. 10 jersey fell into their eyes, clearly with the shadow of No. 23.
Jerry Reinsdorf yelled in the VIP box and attacked four times in a row, and Snoopy's chemistry with Derrick Rose opened his eyes to the possibilities. Especially the last one of the tyrannical buckles.
"We already have two sharp scalpels, Derrick Rose is the indomitable pioneer and Snoopy is the commander who plays all over the field. I can't wait to compete with the Orlando Magic, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Boston Celtics! ”
His tone was extremely excited: "God, these two boys are only 21 and 20 years old. They are already so good! The stupid basketball pundits are still underestimating their future, believing that they are not enough to sustain themselves as the dominant players in the East. They must be crazy. ”
Gary Foreman was convinced, and he was thrilled. It was as if he had seen the trophy of the best general manager march towards his bedroom.
"You don't have a chance."
Snoopy, who was on the court, calmly told Josh Smith amid the cheers of the crowd, "Joe Johnson isn't in the best shape, and you're eating too much pizza with black pepper." You're all going to be down in the next game, so save your plan to try to slaughter the Bulls by 50 points until you go into a dream tonight. ”
After saying this, Duge walked quickly to the front.
And Josh Smith's face was full of shock, and his brain nerves were racing. He was amazed at how Snoopy learned that Joe Johnson was unwell tonight, and even more surprised that Snoopy would know that he had accidentally sprinkled too much black pepper while eating pizza, and... How did he know about our plan to slaughter the bull by 50 points?
"Could it be...... Could he be the wild cat hiding inside the ventilation ducts? ”
A terrible association popped into Joshsmith's head.
In an instant, he had a sense of panic that his underwear had been torn off. He realizes that he has no secrets to speak of in front of Snoopy.
His emotions drifted a little, and the shadow that Snoopy had left deep inside began to slash his teeth and claws, devouring his arrogant faith.
Bang!
Joe Johnson missed another shot.
In the rematch, Derrick Rose still blocked with Snoopy outside the three-point line, rushed into the box to take away the defense and passed the ball out of the three-point line. Snoopy's catch was still a little bit in the sky, and although Josh Smith didn't soar into the sky this time, he still inevitably stepped up...... After all, he knows better than anyone how terrifying it can be when Snoopy's three-pointers go crazy.
And as he stepped forward, Dugg broke straight through his defense, piercing his defense straight into the paint zone and ending the fight with a small left-handed throw.
The score difference has narrowed further.
It was Snoopy's 13th point back in action.
Looking back, Josh Smith finally played with Mike Bibby. But when the classic V-shaped block was completed, Josh Smith rushed to the penalty area with the ball and was ready to dunk, Snoopy moved quickly and jumped up, directly a pegboard hat!
Bang!
When the basketball was slammed into the rebound with a loud bang, Josh Smith's mentality collapsed.
When he landed, his head was even pointing down. At this point, the Bulls' defensive counterattack was already pressing towards the frontcourt like mercury.
Derrick Rose smashed into the Yellow Dragon to the cheers of the crowd and slammed the basketball into Atlanta's cramped hoop with a flaunting lever fold dunk.
After Snoopy returned to the court, the Bulls went on a 15-0 spurt.
This made the three ESPN commentators unable to contain their surprise and kept chanting incredulous.
Originally, in their opinion, the game was meaningless. 、
But now, Snoopy's three three-pointers sounded the horn of a comeback, and the bulls, who had already looked weak, instantly glowed with amazing energy, and they were already in a majestic spirit. Although Chicago is still 5 points behind, it has completely overwhelmed the Hawks in terms of momentum.
The game continues.
However, the 32-year-old Bibby is already a little tired under the rhythm of Derrick Rose. In order to create a carnage tonight, the veteran has not rested since the opening.
Although Joe Johnson can still show his skills, the shooting feeling is still a little bit worse because of his body.
Josh Smith had completely wilted since being trash-talked about by Snoopy and his pegboard hat. It seems that he has accepted that he will not be able to overthrow the rule of the Duke in his life.
The three major outside lines are all dumb fire.
With Snoopy returning to the interior after hitting a game-saving throw, the Eagles' remaining edge of the box was in jeopardy.
As the game entered the ninth minute of the fourth quarter, McWoodson, who called a timeout for the last timeout, announced garbage time during the stoppage.
Despite being 16 points behind, there is still hope for salvation in a sense. But he didn't want to let his soldiers go on the field anymore to be mentally tortured.
He could clearly see the cowardice on Josh Smith's face, and he could also see the helplessness of Mike Bibby after his physical collapse, and what made him even more distressed was Joe Johnson, who worked very hard to imagine his idol Michael Jordan paying tribute and killing all sides when he was unwell. But when he returned to the court, he only contributed 8 shots and 1 of 1 stats, and he was still a little far from the god of basketball after all!!
"Don't be discouraged, we'll win it back next time."
The gentle McWoodson high-fived every key player and cheered them on.
He believes tonight was just a strategic blunder, coupled with Joe Johnson's illness that led to the failure.
But in fact, a deep shadow has been carved into Josh Smith's heart, and this shadow will stay with him even throughout his career.
Because he was desperate to find that even if the Bulls were so weak and so unorganized, Snoopy could still lead the rhythm to win with crazy shooting. So when his team is fully staffed, where will he still have the slightest chance? And he was so terrifying that he could climb into the ventilation duct above the away team's dressing room to observe the enemy in order to win...... As for it?.
Josh Smith shook his head and sighed, even a little admired.
And this admiration soon turned into astonishment and incredulity after a sudden realization.
125:106。
When the final whistle blew, the score was set forever. The Chicago Bulls won their first win of the season against the Atlanta Hawks at home.
Streamers flew through the United Center arena and more than 20,000 fans screamed for their first win since Duke joined the Bulls.
Josh Smith slid into the tunnel at a rapid pace, and he didn't want any post-game reporters to capture his frustrated expression.
However, as he walked into the tunnel and approached the locker room, he clearly saw Scarlett Johansson hobbling by, her head down and her latest smartphone sending voice messages, her words so soft that Josh Smith couldn't hear what she was saying.
But her last three notes made him stunned on the spot like a lightning strike.
Meow! Meow! Meow!
The familiar meow of a cat shocked Josh Smith beyond measure.
Don't...... Don't...... Snoopy is ...... Scarlett in the ventilation ducts?
He didn't dare to go any further, he finally understood why those voices were so tactful and high-pitched, and so intimate!
And at the same time that he gets the closest thing to the truth, Scarlett has disappeared into the players' tunnel. And Snoopy was also in the spotlight on the court, and countless reporters held up the microphone to aim at the Bulls' revival hope of winning the first game with a triple-double!
