Snoopy's near-triple-double didn't cause an unwanted shock, as it wasn't a nationally streamed game.

Moreover, fans have long been accustomed to data like Dug. After all, he is the youngest Mr. Triple-Double in NBA history, or even the youngest Mr. Quadruple-Double in the NBA.

But his stats in this area don't improve his stature in the NBA. Although he has squeezed into the ranks of potential rookies, whether it is a media person or a basketball expert, the evaluation and expectation of him is far lower than that of Derrick Rose, OJ Mayo and even Michael Beasley in the same year.

Because he has so many flaws, and no one can guarantee that he will be able to turn them around.

Of course, from the perspective of popularity, his fame is undoubtedly the biggest among the rookies of the class of 2008. Even his influence can reach the level of the top stars.

After all, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James don't have a way to make entertainment media make headlines every once in a while.

In this regard, many basketball celebrities have criticized, and they seriously claim that Snoopy is too close to the entertainment industry, which is not helpful to the basketball career. It is worth mentioning that many of the basketball celebrities who raised these criticisms have been exposed to own VIP members of the Atlanta Gold Club.

And on January 1, the first day of 2009.

The entertainment media finally picked up the news on basketball.

Major media outlets in North America were swept up by the same news almost overnight, and even many print media outlets used front-page headlines. Especially in New York, gossip fans in the Big Apple go crazy.

Because the NBA officially announced a blockbuster trade between the New York Knicks and the Miami Heat at 11 p.m. on December 31.

Dug, who has averaged 6.8 points, 8.9 rebounds, 8.6 assists, 2.2 blocks and 1.0 steals per game so far this season, was traded to New York by the Miami Heat, and the Knicks paid the price for three future first-round signings plus 2.7 million cash.

"Lord Duke has landed in New York, and the DT Party has opened a new chapter!"

"After the Christmas Night Terror, the DM Party is once again ushering in a snowy winter!"

"New York's entertainment scene is set to see a major reshuffle, with Madison Garden set to be the second biggest show after Milan Fashion Week!"

"It's time for the people of New York to see the charm of the Duke!!"

“……”

The entertainment media cheered, especially the media that supported the DT party, they swept away the previous dullness, raised their eyebrows, and finally made a beautiful comeback!

And this deal not only shook the entertainment industry, but also formed a tsunami-like shock to the basketball circle!

"It's a big gamble about the future!" ESPN hit the nail on the head.

Everyone can see how much it cost the New York Knicks to get Snoopy's comeback, and they overdraft their future into 2014. That means they have no room to maneuver in the future, and it's impossible for them to find a rebuilding core from the draft market other than catching big fish in the trade market.

"Miami got another big win from the trade, and everyone knows what the Knicks' draft pick means. Miami could even become a giant team because of it. And Isaiah Thomas undoubtedly brought a new disaster to New York! Snoopy is a good player, he knows a lot of hot spots, he can sell a lot of tickets, and he even has a chance to be a support second for the team. But... There is a good chance that the Knicks will send out three cornerstone players! ”

TNT's comments also favor that the Knicks made a terrible trade: people have long lost hope in Isaiah Thomas's ability to trade. It's just that... This time he once again refreshed the bottom line, and no one expected him to start overdrawing the team's future. And, it's 2014.

The basketball media and fans in New York were devastated after they were sure that the deal had actually happened.

"The shadow of demons once again looms over Madison Gardens, and Isaiah Thomas destroys not only the Knicks' past, present, but also future!"

"The Smiling Assassin is the true magician, and he has swooned James Dolan."

"Snoopy has done nothing wrong, but Thomas has forcibly linked his name to those notorious garbage contracts!"

"Honestly, even if I put my Labradoodle in the Knicks president's office, I would never make such a stupid deal!"

"Snoopy Dog can only bring attendance and female stars to Madison Garden, and he can't get the Knicks into the winners."

“……”

Both online and in the media, there is a lot of sarcasm about Isaiah Thomas and Dugg's contempt. None of the New York fans thought Thomas made the right trade.

But at this time, Isaiah Thomas appeared at Madison Garden on the evening of January 1 and appeared in the post-game press conference.

"Snoopy is going to be a cornerstone of the Knicks' rebuild, and he has a chance to be like LeBron James, Kobe Bryant."

"In my mind, he's far better than Derrick Rose and I think he's going to be a leading figure in the '08 class of rookies. He's a player I'm willing to give everything to have. ”

"The Knicks definitely didn't lose their future because of this, but they gained it because of it!"

The Smiling Assassin swears by it, just as he has ever done at every press conference.

But now no one wants to listen to his affirmative remarks, and even when he was about to raise his pitch and make bold remarks, the angry reporters had already thrown their shoes at him, but he was alert enough to dodge the attack and seemed to be much more dexterous than George W. Bush.

And when the reporter was about to throw out the second shoe, he had already left quickly, leaving a sentence before leaving: "One day, you will thank me for this." Time will tell!! ”

His rant did not awaken the approval of the journalists, whose reputation in the minds of the New York media was as bad as the shit in the sewers. Only a fool would believe the beautiful blueprint he has built.

Along with it, Dugg also became the target of ridicule in the sports section of the New York media the next day.

"Just him? Can he be the cornerstone of reconstruction? New York isn't Miami, what we need now is a super scorer. ”

"It's a serious humiliation to compare Snoopy's name to LeBron James and Kobe Bryant."

"I've been able to see the next Chicago Bulls vs. Knicks be devastated, and Derrick Rose will never forgive Snoopy for his offense!"

“……”

When Dugg went to the Knicks' training gym, he kept reading the New York newspapers.

His expression was calm, even though today's newspaper was full of his news. Even three pieces of news about him appeared in the New York Times.

The headline of the entertainment edition was: "What kind of sparks will the Duke collide in New York as the East Coast music scene welcomes a new king!" 》

The headline of the sports edition was: "Megalomania, Snoopy Dog Dare to Compare to James Kobe?? 》

In the business edition, the headline is: "The financial turmoil continues to spread, and Internet companies continue to be in the doldrums!" The subtitle reads: "Basketball player Dugg throws $25 million to buy Apple stock for $32 per share, which is the last madness or a harbinger of economic recovery!" 》

Dugg closed the newspaper and looked at Lin Weiwei.

Both men looked surprised.

"How did I make so much money?" Dugg was particularly surprised by his income. Although $10 million of the $25 million was a loan, it was still incredible for him to make so much money in just half a year.

"Don't underestimate your influence." "When you get a foothold in New York, your income will continue to climb," Lin said. To know... The top athletes earn more than $100 million a year, and the top musicians can do the same. You're both a top athlete and a top musician, and that's just the beginning. ”

"But you actually put all your money into Apple stock?"

Lin Weiwei was very puzzled: "What kind of stupid hat do you think would spend $500 on a mobile phone?" My feature phone can make calls, send texts, and do everything I need for less than a hundred dollars. ”

"As far as I know, even business users won't like this expensive phone without a keyboard because it's not convenient to send emails at all...... It's cumbersome to type a letter on a touch screen. ”

Du Ge glanced at Lin Weiwei deeply: "Although what you said is very reasonable, I still recommend that you buy some Apple stocks." ”

Lin Weiwei obviously didn't listen.

When the van stopped outside the training hall, she had already begun to urge Doog to go for a physical test.

After passing the physical test, he will officially become a player for the New York Knicks.

Dugg was greeted by Tom Brook, the most senior trainer for the New York Knicks, a 50-year-old white man who has been with the Knicks for 22 years and whose entire family is a Knicks fan. When he learned that the team had traded three future first-round picks for Snoopy, he was so angry that he didn't even eat for a day.

So, when he saw Duge, there was not a single hint of good color on his face. Even he was still planning in his heart, how could he make this kid's physical test unqualified?
