0489:[First Man of Power Forward]
The Denver Nuggets have their best record since trading former superstar Allen Iverson for 32-year-old Rado native Chauncy Billups last season and have managed to break the first-round limit...... Carmelo Anthony also got rid of the first-round curse.
This season, they have strengthened in various positions and have become more harmonious in the squad, especially the Brazilian Nene, who has seen a qualitative improvement in form this season as he underwent 'ball' surgery and married his girlfriend this summer. His combination with Kenyon Martin is even called the only existence in the West that can compete with the Lakers' interior group.
"Our muscles are as hard as Rocky Mountain!!"
Kenyon Martin spoke tough words to the camera before the game, and he was extremely unhappy with Zach Randolph being called the league's number one forward today. But he restrained his emotions, and he also knew that the Knicks, who could win back-to-back Eastern and Western championships, were definitely not as weak as rumored.
And, about Snoopy, they don't have the same arrogance they had a year ago. After all, Snoopy, who wore a Miami jersey last season, scored four doubles on the Colorado Plateau. Of course, he also got a duchess girl by the way...... It's just that this matter is unknown.
But then again, his remarks are not exaggerated. Cameron Anthony, Kenyon Martin, Nene, Balkman, Malik Allen, Tylawon, plus a Joey Graham. What they all have in common: Anthony plays the No. 3 position but has the physique of the No. 4 position, while Lawson plays the No. 1 position but has the physique of the No. 2 position (in fact, many of the No. 3 positions). And so on. As for Nene, who had ** removal surgery, he was called by head coach Karl George: "He is our mountain." ”
In addition to these super muscular men, the remaining players are: JR Smith, Chris Anderson, James White, and three birds.
and, Billups and Afraro, two Detroit office brain workers.
To put it simply, Denver is a zoo run by two Detroit staff, with three birds and a bunch of animals.
When it comes to athleticism, the Knicks are hard to compete with. In a sense, the Denver Nuggets are a team that is infinitely close to zero in terms of hardware.
But...... In terms of tactical unity, the current Knicks are undoubtedly much more advanced.
The game kicks off at 7:30 p.m. ET on December 26, and Denver's home stadium is packed, and despite the holiday season, the enthusiasm on the Colora Plateau is still buzzing. When the visitors came on, they booed like a tsunami.
The most important boo went to Duke Snoopy, who took away a quadruple-double from here last season and became the only active Mr. Snoopy in the league.
Their trash talk has been updated in vocabulary since Christmas, and they no longer repeatedly mumble foul language like 'go back to China' and 'hateful yellow bananas'. Instead, he turned to scolding, "Go back and play your mahjong", "Fuck you, the singer", "The softie who doesn't even dare to fuck women", "Go back to handjob......".
God knows what Coloradans have been through, perhaps the lack of entertainment life in the highlands has led to their sublimation in the art of swearing.
Regardless, Snoopy didn't care.
He just got into the game calmly, he was stationed in the number four position from the start of the game, and he had a direct conversation with Kenyon Martin. Kenyon Martin is an athletic power forward, once called Sean Kemp's successor, and he is arguably the most famous brutalist forward in NBA history.
However, this year, as he crossed the 30-year-old mark and a knee injury, his explosiveness and bounce speed were far from what they used to be. I could only watch Stoudemire, Dwight Howard, and other brutalist insiders speed past one by one.
Tonight, Duke Snoopy gave him another experience: a feeling of being able to catch the moon in nine days and catch turtles in the five oceans.
When Kenyon Martin tries to go solo and rush for a rebound, Snoopy will hold his bottom line firmly. This made Martin, who lacked individual offensive skills, very uncomfortable, and was always deflated when rushing for rebounds in the frontcourt.
And when he gets back to the defensive end, he'll find a very different Snoopy. If Snu on the defensive end is rock solid. Then on the offensive end, he just flew through the sky, shaking from the free throw line, then cutting in a lightning straight line, followed by a dazzling variety of feint passes...... Mr. Nene was literally stunned by him, and Zach Randolph on the side had plenty of easy scoring opportunities.
At the moment, Dugg is least afraid of Kenyon Martin's type of interior player. Because he is playing more with game experience, although he still has above-average athleticism, he does not have the ability to take the initiative to attack, which greatly limits his performance.
What Dugg is more afraid of at the moment is the interior line with complete scoring means, who can force scores above his head with their height and reach, especially those who have super back ability. In addition, athletic interior players, such as Stoudemire, also have some headaches, because they not only have a height advantage, but also explosiveness, speed, and flexibility. Together, it's not hard for Dugg to defend successfully every time.
In the first half, Snoopy and Zach Randolph dominated the Denver's interior and dominated both ends of the floor. But the Nuggets, with their advantage from the outside, did not let the margin widen.
However, in the second half. George Carr made a fatal mistake. He asked the team to execute a quick break in the third quarter, and he wanted to bring Zach Randolph down with a fast break.
However, this trick backfired.
Cameron Anthony has never been a fast offensive and defensive player, although he was born in the 80s, he has an old soul living in his body. Since high school, his forte has been to take out opponents one-on-one in positional battles, and he enjoys the rhythm of the game, which makes it extremely uncomfortable for him to be in a fast tempo and shoot the ball.
George Carr's quick offensive and defensive battles did pay off from the start, but with Zach Randolph off, David Lee and Milicic on the pitch, and Duke Snoopy back in the No. 1 position, the game went off the beaten track.
The Knicks' James Johnson stuck to Anthony like kraft candy, and Anthony subconsciously lowered his tempo, took the ball with his back and landed a one-on-one single. His offensive efficiency isn't low, and he's still shooting 40 percent.
However, the Knicks' shooting rate obviously exceeded George Carr's expectations, and the speed was as fast as a Pegasus meteor, and the punches were deadly!
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Gallinari and David Lee threw back-to-back shots, and the Knicks had a double-digit lead before the third quarter even entered the rotation.
This made the fans at the scene stop sending out those hot topics such as 'mahjong' and 'first man'.
Heading into the fourth quarter, the Denver struggled for five minutes, but as the margin continued to widen, the entire team gave up on their efforts.
While Chauncey Billups tried to get the team motivated, it's clear that the birds weren't going to play the Knicks in the regular season. They prefer to play downwind, plus George Karl is not a hard-nosed coach. Naturally, the game went into garbage time.
Ultimately, 126:107.
The Knicks picked up their first road win since Christmas.
The game allowed the Knicks to hold the seventh spot in the East and are only 0.5 wins away from sixth in the East.
The news of the victory reached New York, and the Big Apple fans were once again boiling over it.
Despite the recent mischief of Snoopy's mahjong scandal, the guys have even begun to complain about why Snoopy didn't have group sex with the duchess girls, which is ridiculous...... Could it be that the Duke is such a misbehaving?
To be honest, there is a part of the New York fans who are very angry.
But Dugg didn't think so, he didn't care about it at all. Even when Ne muttered to him after a dunk in the third quarter, 'Your defense looks like you're incompetent,' he just silently glanced at the Brazilian's crotch, and he thought it was so inconsistent with Nene when he said it. Then, on the next turn, the Duke completed a powerful two-handed clasp. Two minutes later, the Duke once again sent a top five block, and he slapped the fast-forward dunk Nene out of the air, this time directly destroying the last willpower of the Denver people's will to resist, and their fans even began to leave the game. Then, garbage time arrived.
16 points, 9 assists, 8 rebounds and 5 blocks.
Although Duke Snoopy didn't get a quadruple-double tonight, no one can deny that it was his fist that broke the heart of the Denver man.
As for Zach Randolph, who scored 32 points and 13 rebounds, he is more like a spear in the hands of the Duke, everything is driven by it.
After the game, Zach Randolph appeared at the press conference, and he appeared in high spirits: "Now that I have officially entered my peak, I will continue to increase the pace and expand my territory!" ”
His words were full of pride. But the reporter below offered little rebuttal, and the next day's newspaper had little satire about the ramblings. Because... In an age when Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, and Nowitzki are getting older, he is indeed a leader at the power forward position, and the only statistically comparable Stoudemire has not been comfortable lately. His value plummeted amid trading rumors again and again.
In a sense, the basketball media seems to have tacitly agreed that Randolph, whose statistics have skyrocketed in the past half a month, has become the first person to be the rightful power forward.
Even his recent move over Dwight Howard to become the third-most voted player on the All-Star voting list has not received overwhelming criticism.
