0572: [First in the East]
Snoopy's terrifying triple-double at Madison Garden is like the words of One Piece Gore Roger before his death in "One Piece", which has inspired countless stars to make a name for themselves in the weak Knicks and conquer all basketball pages.
Kevin Durant became the one who fired the first shot.
With 52 points, he successfully surpassed LeBron James and has reached the top of the scoring list. If he can make it to the end of the season, he will become the youngest scorer ever at the age of 22.
In fact, everyone knows that Kevin Durant has changed after losing to Snubidoo, and his aggressiveness has been completely unleashed. He'd even yell at Westbrook on the pitch: Give me the damn ball.
Even the most demanding critics have to admit that Kevin Durant is now becoming one of the most feared offensive weapons in the league. And what sets him apart from other super scorers: Kobe, Roy, Joe Johnson and Pierce are conventional weapons. They are armed with three-foot long swords, and they decide the winner purely by the level of skill and the depth of the fire. But Kevin Durant doesn't do that on the scoring end.
He was by accident with James.
LeBron James is a Xuantie heavy sword, he can use a two-hundred-pound Xuantie sword as a three-foot long sword to play fast, completely crushed by gravity. And Durant is a five-foot soft sword, and the length is obviously beyond the norm. He scored easily with a shot that was flush with the basket and an amazing touch. And, even if you defend closely, he has a second move, he has the ability to advance with the ball, and his long legs can easily break through the defense.
Therefore, he and LeBron James are considered to be the two major bugs in the league today after Shaq O'Neal.
Of course, some people say that Snoopy is the third bug, but this is not recognized by too many people. After all, Lord Duke's biggest bug is the blue-collar skills in the restricted area.
Snoopy doesn't really care about that, and he's now figuring out how to deal with the Orlando Magic, the Eastern Conference regular season champions, at home.
Unlike the other three in the Eastern Conference Final Four, Orlando still maintains a relationship with the Duke in terms of face, although he lost humiliating to the Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals last season.
Stan Van Gundy praised the Duke for his horrific triple-double at Madison Garden with great praise in the press.
And, very frankly, the Knicks did a very unkind and irrational way to trade Snoopy: "Any trade of the core to try to curry favor with other superstars is short-sighted and ruins the team's own credibility." I don't think LeBron James will join New York this summer, because no one can guarantee that LeBron James will not be the first person in the league five years from now, and what if the first person in the league at that time also threw an olive branch to the Knicks? ”
Stan Van Gundy actually uttered something philosophical.
He said this partly because of his friendship with the Duke. The second reason is that Jeff Van Gundy quit his job in New York with Snoopy being traded. Of course, the most important thing is to appease Dwight Howard.
Dwight Howard has been in a heated conflict with management lately, and he wants more fire, and he believes he is the player with the least shot in the league. As the only superstar in the league who can be traded for LeBron James, he actually does dirty work every day. He was very unbalanced.
But... Stan Van Gundy, on the other hand, thinks Howard should do what he is good at and should do. He even told Dwight Howard, "The Magic are the best team for you, and you and the team work out each other." This tactic is actually a way of playing to the extreme of your abilities. ”
However, Howard doesn't think so. He felt he could do more.
As a result, the two sides have been in a state of see-saw.
Although Howard laughs in the media every day, when he gets to the owner, he always complains and even asks the team to fire Stan Van Gundy. With no response from management, his team even sent out a message that they wanted to be traded.
This has worried the whole of Orlando, and not everyone is like New Yorkers, who don't want to ruin a thriving and competitive team.
As a result, Stan Van Gundy not only talked to Howard privately, promising to increase his right to sell. Outside, Howard is also constantly praised, and various explicit and implicit emphasis on Howard as the co-owner of Orlando.
……
Snoopy responded to Stan Van Gundy's praise in front of the media, praising the Magic in a business spirit and deserving of their current position. He also stressed that this will be the most difficult regular season game of the season.
Snoopy's remarks ignored the next Boston Celtics, Cleveland Cavaliers...... Obviously, Lord Duke didn't want to give any face to the other two teams.
And actually, it was a really tough game for the Bulls.
It wasn't luck for the Magic to finish first in the East, and although they lost Turkoglu this season, they actually improved: at least in the regular season, they were more combative.
Dwight gained another 10 pounds of muscle than last season, and his upper body is thick and terrifyingly explosive. This makes his dominance under the basket even stronger! This year, he is firmly locked in the rebounding and blocking titles, and he is also in the top three in the MVP rankings, and if nothing happens, he will be the undisputed best team defense.
In addition, Vince Carter, who has been with the Nets for a few years, has also come back to life this season, and he has even played the same performance in 2001 several times this year. You know, that season, Carter only lost to Iverson by one goal in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals: if that final goal goes through, he will take Antonio Davis, Alvin Williams, Charles O'Calley, Williamson and Peterson to the Eastern Conference Finals. He might even beat Ray Allen to the finals to face the Sharks and Peter Pan alone.
It has to be said that the great Iverson overshadowed the legend of Vince Carter that year. Since then, Carter hasn't been at full strength until the second half of the 2004-05 season, when he arrived at the New Jersey Nets, exploded into an astonishing fight. Then there was another long period of malaise, leading up to this season...... The former demigod, now the bald old man smelled the championship again.
In addition to the inside and outside core, a number of three-point giants such as Rashad Lewis, Ryan Anderson, Petrus, and Nelson have made the Magic team stretch their space very quickly, and the offensive efficiency of this season is the first in the league. And defensively, it can also be ranked in the top five.
So brave.
The Bulls, who are understaffed and lack a three-point threat, are indeed difficult to pull their teeth out of the sky.
However, if the game is not won. Then the morale accumulated in the previous three games will quickly crumble, and the next game will be the devil's schedule. If you don't get off to a good start, a rout will ensue. After a wave of consecutive defeats, the Bulls will completely withdraw from the playoff array.
This is something that Dugg cannot accept.
Since it was said that it was going to be the sixth place in the East to enter the playoffs, since it was said that it was going to take the hardest path. How is it possible to give up halfway, or even go downstream?
This game has to be won.
"The Great Leader said in 'Strategic Problems of Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Warfare': There are often situations in which favorable circumstances and active recovery arise from the efforts to 'hold on a little longer'......"
While Stephen Marbury was talking about strategy theory in the locker room, Derrick Rose, who was in a wheelchair, was pushed in by Joakinoah. He took the initiative to find Snoopy, and he had something to say to the Duke.
