The Oklahoma City Thunder are the undisputed top seeds, but they were eliminated in the first round of the tournament, a result that many expected.

This is despite the fact that the Heat have won four in a row in the regular season.

But everyone knows that those four games have nothing to offer, nothing more than a bunch of fringe players and NBA rookies.

However, Thunder is different. They sent out most of the main lineup in order to win the championship. Outcome... lost to the Miami Heat, who did not have half of the main team in charge.

When reporters and commentators received the news, the first judgment in their minds was that Michael Beasley must have dominated the game.

However, after watching the video of the game.

They have to admit that Snoopy, who scored 6 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 blocks in the whole game, is the real key to victory. When the Thunder built a 14-point advantage at halftime, it was he who opened the situation with one breakthrough after another and built the team's offensive net. At the same time, he also built a dense defensive system on the defensive end, and he turned the paint field into a solid castle with David Anderson and Michael Beasley, which resulted in the Thunder scoring just 11 points under the basket in the second half.

But... Snoopy's embarrassment in the final moments under Ibaka's defense did not escape the eyes of basketball reporters.

"Snoopy's offensive pace and defensive pace are particularly strange. His pace of footwork is very small, although fast. It felt like someone had your thighs tied. To be honest, I've only seen this kind of footsteps when my wife went out shopping and suddenly had a 'period'. ”

ESPN's well-known ball critic Hollinger commented on the "Summer League Daily Watch" program that night. Of course, on the show, he also praised Snoopy's defensive mobility under the basket, high post playmaking, and ability to break through the ball.

Not all media outlets, though, are as objective as he is.

There are still a large number of media outlets that maintain their previous inertia, and media outlets rarely change their attitudes suddenly, and they must be 'accountable' to the consumers who previously bought their newspapers or magazines. After all, if you call him a basketball idiot yesterday and praise him as a team leader today, people will be insane and seriously doubt the rigor of the newspaper.

So, they do the work of censorship and emphasis.

Mainly praised Michael Beasley, but also emphasized that the No. 8 show was blown up by the No. 24 show at the last moment, and if it wasn't for Michael Beasley stepping up, the game would have been buried in Snoopy's obstinate ball-handling breakthrough.

Since this year's Summer League was not broadcast live on TV, and all the game materials had to be viewed on a dedicated website, the vast majority of fans were reluctant to spend their time on a summer league without big stars.

So, when the media said so, the fans naturally accepted it.

Moreover, such criticism can corroborate with the 'established impression' they formed before: how can a rich second-generation high-achieving student who plays music play basketball well?

"Great job!"

Miami's Pat Riley didn't have that kind of impression and wasn't influenced by the Miami media, because he was only getting first-hand information. Kithsmart reported to him on Snoopy's performance in the game that night, telling the president that Snoopy had now officially taken over the locker room. He has the support of all the players and everyone is very happy with him.

Smart spoke highly of Snoopy's charisma: "He didn't talk to the team for the first five days, and I even thought he was a withdrawn man. ”

But when the game was in a desperate situation, everyone was at a loss, and he was the only one who stepped up and gave what was a classic speech. He called out everyone's name, named each person's strengths, and told them that wealth is in danger, and that crises often contain great opportunities. Then he led his team onto the court, facing the Thunder's strongest player Jeff Green at the power forward position, forced the situation to open the game, led the team to reverse the score, and won the final victory. ”

Pat Riley was clearly not as excited as Smart, and he wasn't surprised by this. Because he's seen in Orlando how he commanded the top pick Derrick Rose and the No. 4 pick Russell Westbrook. And, in the NCAA Finals, wasn't it because he gave the 'Duke's speech' at a critical moment that he won the reversal?

These are some of the reasons why he is obsessed with Dugg and is willing to pay a huge price to draft him with the No. 8 pick.

What really surprised and delighted him was that Dugg's breakthrough was more lethal than in Orlando and he also learned to make layups.

This is especially important, which means that he has mastered two of the three threats of the sudden throw.

So... He's been making rapid progress.

As long as there is progress, it proves that the great potential in him can be realized.

"Tell Snoopy that he can stop playing in the next races, that it doesn't make sense for him to waste time in these non-rewarding games, and that the most important thing for him now is to train better."

Pat Riley's order allowed Dugg to board the plane back to China ahead of schedule.

As he left the team, everyone except Daquin Cook came over to hug the No. 8 pick, who had been demonized by the media. At least in the eyes of this group, Snoopy deserves this pick, and many people even think that he can be higher.

From everyone's envy and jealousy on the first day, to the warm embrace and heartfelt blessings when they left at the end.

Smart saw all the changes in his eyes and remembered them in his heart.

He had a very strong feeling in his heart that this kid would definitely bring a huge change to Miami.

……

When Duge arrived in Beijing, he found that it was very different from when he had traveled five years earlier, and that the city had changed dramatically with the Olympics just around the corner.

Under Lin Weiwei's arrangement, Duge first filmed a TV commercial for China Mobile.

Later, he went to help an insurance company as an image spokesperson, followed by watches, computers, clothing, beer and health products.

For five days, non-stop, constantly rushing to the scene, and working like a continuous axis.

Dugg complained to Lin Weiwei more than once: "It's much harder than playing basketball." ”

Lin Weiwei complained angrily: "Even if you play basketball for three days and three nights, you don't earn as much as that." ”

"By the way, according to your instructions, these seven endorsements are all signed with two-year short contracts, and their combined income will bring you 27 million yuan per year."

Duge silently counted a few zeros in his mind.

There are also 14 million tax deductions.

What should I do with this money? You can't throw the bank ashes.

Ding dong!

Lin Weiwei's computer rang, she skillfully clicked on QQ, and then entered the mailbox to review the cooperation invitations sent by domestic sponsors.

"I think QQ is much easier to use than MSN." Lin Weiwei sighed sincerely.

When Du Ge heard this, a thought suddenly flashed in his head, and some chaotic information surged up, and the thing that was still worrying a minute ago immediately had an answer: "Use all my advertising revenue to buy Tencent shares." ”

Lin Weiwei looked at Du Ge with a frightened expression: "Boss, you are so impulsive every time you invest, I am really worried that you will go bankrupt early." ”

Go belly up?

Dugg never thought about it.

He turned to the "Basketball Herald" on the table, and the headline today was that the American Dream Team had chartered the 'Platinum Five-Star' hotel, and also erected nearly 1,000 meters of barbed wire to surround the hotel to ensure its own safety.

"These NBA superstars are really arrogant and lascivious."

Duge couldn't help but sigh.

opened the second edition, it is still the news of the Dream Eight team, and the main title is like "The Three Heroes of the Wind and Dust Macau Seeking Joy, the Young Girl in the Night Pu Bathroom"

Dugg took a closer look, and then found that there was still Dwyane Wade, the star of the Heat, among the three heroes of the wind and dust.
