0763: [Donnie Walsh, Mud Malegobi]
McDe'Anthony returned to the top of the game after Donnie Walsh's fire, and he was saved from last summer's turmoil, and with the arrival of his former protégé Stoudemire, he is now arguably in power. Not only is he the general manager of the Knicks, but he is also back in the position of head coach.
The additions of Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups have given him a lot of confidence and he thinks it's time for him to start a second glory in his career.
He didn't want to be portrayed by the media as a wretched creature who had been driven out of the manager's position by the Duke dog.
Therefore, before this game, he deliberately instilled Snoopy's ten shortcomings to the new players, such as not being good at shooting, not having a wide range of defense ability on the outside, and relying on a single speed trajectory for breakthroughs... Something like that. He also stressed that he must be clamped and that the ties between him and Derrick Rose must be severed, and that they will never be as close as the Chicagoans claim.
Stoudemire was a little skeptical about this. He had just played a match against Snoopy, and he watched Snoopy and LeBron James go head-to-head in the final minute of the game to win. He believes Snoopy can coexist with any ball-handling defender.
However, he did not say what he thought.
It's not his job.
On the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Beijing time, Madison Garden was brightly lit and full of people. Although Madison Garden has never been worried about ticket sales, it is the first time since Snoopy left the Knicks that there are so many die-hard fans at the same time.
They all came to see Carmelo Anthony and Chauncy Billups debut.
Every Knicks fan hopes that tonight is a new beginning, and from today, the Knicks will get rid of all the bad things in the past and move towards a bright future.
So, when Carmelo Anthony came out in the finale, he reaped a tsunami-like sound.
The noise was even louder than Snoopy's pre-match waving around.
After all, the Little Duke is already a Chicago player.
And Cameron, the superstar from the West, will carry the future of the Knicks.
Anthony seemed to be inspired by the enthusiasm of the 20,000 fans in the stadium, and he was very excited to play as soon as he came up. First, he scored with a turnaround jumper on top of Lore Deng's head. Then he went to the basket to assist Stoudemire for a layup.
This made the fans at the scene very excited. Even Snoopy started the game with a speed-forward breakaway to finish off the aging Billups, then went to the basket to complete the dunk and assist Carlos Boozer for a jumper.
New York fans are not very demanding, and it is enough to be able to go back and forth with the No. 1 Bulls in the East.
However, after two rounds, Snoopy said: There is no need to be polite to the opponent, let's go all out!
First, he used a nimble crossover from outside the three-point line to get past Billups' defense and take a step inside the three-point line, and as soon as Shaun Williams came up, he handed a long pass to Rose, and Rose galloped from one side and made an easy layup under the basket.
D'Antoni's wrap-and-wrap strategy fell through from the start.
And, immediately after that, he emphasized that Snoopy's perimeter defense could not be large, which also caught him off guard.
When Billups swam to the top of the three-point arc, he commanded his players to settle into their positions. He immediately put on a stance to try to single, he used a big pendulum clock-style change of direction, but... As soon as he pulled horizontally, Snoopy quickly pressed up, and his strong body instantly forced Billups to step back.
And just when I took a half step back and tried to change direction to get rid of it.
Snoopy moved directly laterally to block his path, and his left hand stretched out extremely quickly...... Syllable.
The basketball was photographed in the front court, and at the same time, the Fengcheng Rose had already bloomed, and the lightning rushed out, and after grabbing the basket, he completed the violent dunk in the basket of the New Yorkers.
Rose's one-handed slash was wonderful.
But what more people are thinking is: Snoopy's defense has improved so quickly? It was obviously a death entanglement just now. Complementing the last defensive shortcoming, is he going to compete for the best defensive team of the season?
When Knicks fans watched the replay, they frowned even more, and silently recited Donnie Walsh Mud Horse Gobi 10,000 times in their hearts!
There is nothing more painful in this world than to have oneself.
And the most painful thing is to underestimate the opponent, just like D'Antoni now, he did not frown, nor did he meditate on the mud horse Gobi, he was expressionless, and let frustration and despair linger in his heart and breed madly!
Not being able to beat the bulls was something he had known for a long time.
But as soon as Snoopy came on the court, he shattered all his unbridled 'shortcomings theory' before the game, how can he convince the public in the future?
And what made him even more desperate was that.
Snoopy then went straight from point guard to shooting guard, and he simply let Derrick Rose hold the ball.
He fell into position, just like Kobe Bryant-style play.
He ravaged Roger Mason to his heart's content.
Poor Roger Mason managed to mix up a starting point guard position here because of the Knicks' shortage of players. Who knows... The little duke directly took him as a training object.
In the first round, he opted to take two steps back to defend, believing the manager's assertions.
However, after receiving the basketball, Snoopy threw his shot directly with a strange way of powering...... Swish!
The basketball was caught.
In the second round, he closed the distance by one step.
After receiving the basketball, the little duke suddenly pressed down, and his shoulder shook violently. He thought Snoopy was going to shoot again, so he hurriedly stepped forward to block, but at the same time as his center of gravity was up. Snoopy slipped past him with a thud, slotted into the basket and passed to Carlos Boozer.
Boozer eats bread easily.
After hitting the shot, he didn't forget to yell at the home team's bench: "The stupidest team in the world is the Knicks!" ”
This phrase once made him the target of media mobbing after the game, and Boozer was not afraid at all. He responded very frankly: "No, that's what I said." Am I not right? Isn't a team trading Snoopy for air stupid enough? ”
Such rhetorical questions left the New York media speechless.
He must admit that Boozer was right.
If Snoopy is left behind, where is the need to go to great lengths to empty his family and trade Carmelo Anthony? In the past, the finals were played, but now even the tickets to the playoffs have to be done with all their might, and they have to rely on God's favor.
In this situation, even New Yorkers want to scold: the stupidest team in the world is the Knicks!!
But the saddest man is undoubtedly Roger Mason.
In the case that it is not possible to put the defense, he chooses to defend closely. But as soon as the footsteps approached, the little duke made all kinds of feints, and his shoulders seemed to be equipped with an electric motor, sometimes up and sometimes down, and so realistic.
It's a real pain to attract him, a defender who is not very proficient defensively. He didn't think it would be a chore to defend Snoopy, but he was going to be fast and slow.
I didn't expect tonight... I actually played flower work.
He even saw a shadow of Pierce in the Duke dog.
It made him extremely uncomfortable.
Fortunately, this discomfort was replaced by Carmelo Anthony in the second quarter.
After Anthony hit two shots in a row, Snoopy switched defenses with his younger brother James Johnson.
Snoopy has never been afraid of classical strikers with this kaleidoscope style of play, whether it's Paul Pierce or Carmelo Anthony.
It used to be.
Now even better.
Almost instantly, Anthony was defeated in front of the little duke, who was so strong and bounced, that he could no longer score as easily as before.
When his scoring stalled, he habitually increased his shots...... But the shot was still hard to hit.
As a result, his efficiency continued to decline, slowing down the pace of the game and creating a vicious cycle.
As a result, the Knicks became a fish on the chopping board.
The Bulls weren't the slightest bit polite.
With Snoopy no longer working with Roger Mason, the offensive firepower of the rest of the Bulls players was quickly ignited.
Rose continued to reach into the paint to score points, Korver brandished the Reaper Scythe from beyond the three-point line, Carlos Boozer continued to challenge the Little Overlord from mid-range, and Joakim Noah began to show off his 38-style shooting.
When the first Knicks in the East are on full fire, what can the Knicks, who are ninth in the East, do but raise their hands high?
Today is a festive day for New York fans.
But when the game went into garbage time in the third quarter, it was hard to get a smile on their lips.
They had to admit the fact that the loss of trading Snoopy was not made up for by going out of their way to get Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony.
Especially, and most importantly, the little duke has once again come up with a new trick tonight.
In the past, he didn't have a perimeter defense, he didn't threaten to attack.
Now, he can torture Roger Mason at No. 2.
Although, this defender is not in good shape.
But such a huge step forward can be described as earth-shattering.
Donnie Walsh, Mud Male, Gobi !!
When they left Madison Garden, every die-hard fan was filled with this heavy curse!!
