0414: [The world is invincible, the NBA is a business]
The second game of the Grand Finals was played on June 3, 2009, when the Duchess Stadium incident was still spreading further, and there was really no news in Hollywood lately...... After all, even Britney Spears has changed her ways, returning to the gym and studio to work on the new album, and Madonna has traveled to Europe. Attention can only be focused on this large number of fierce battles of the Duchess Lady.
Another thing that took the attention of the Finals was that the draft draw conducted on the 2nd finally showed the results, and the lucky Clippers got the 2009 No. 1 pick. The Seven-Six followed with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Knicks' first-round pick was traded early, and in fact, they only got the No. 18 pick...... Miami weren't happy to get this pick, because none of their uniforms expected that after trading Snoopy to the Knicks, the Knicks would be able to escape the lottery zone and make the playoffs...... Or even the finals.
Pat Riley hasn't had a rough time lately, even though he's openly admitted to making the worst judgment of his career. But this kind of 'frank leniency' did not make him understand, but many Heat fans are slamming him, if Snoopy is still in the team, the team that will reach the Finals is Miami!
To this, Pat Riley had nothing to say and was powerless to refute. Because a bad team like the Knicks and Dugg can make it to the Finals, why can't Miami?
Regarding the draft, the Knicks' uniform team has already started to get into the work. Isaiah Thomas and Dan Anthony have both returned to their offices. Because of the team's madness in this playoff season, they now have a lot of chips in their hands.
Players who were previously called junk contracts have regained trade value, even players like Richardson, Jeffries, and Stephen Marbury have become premium assets, Eddie Curry and Zach Randolph are no longer seen as huge liabilities, and some mid-tier teams that lack big centers and are trying to take the next step have the courage to take risks.
Based on this situation, D'Antoni had a very easy job with Isaiah Thomas and Donnie Walsh.
And, having been in a lot of trouble with coaching, they have been disagreeing on offseason operations, and they are both leaning towards drastic changes this summer. Because, enough salary space must be freed up and waiting for the king to come in 2010.
Of course, in the current situation, they must communicate with Snoopy before making a trade proposal. If the Duke is determined to keep a player, he will most likely still be retained...... No one can deny that Snoopy is becoming a privileged player in New York State. No one wanted to upset him.
In the second game of the finals, Snoopy played the whole game again, and although the whole world knew that he was fit, at the last moment... His exhaustion was still visible to the naked eye.
He had 14 points, 16 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 blocks in the second game.
Everyone who watched the game couldn't help but applaud him from the bottom of their hearts. Because, all his rebounds were obtained under the defense of the Lakers' twin towers, and he threw himself into the air again and again, exchanging his life for the possibility of an offense.
However, even so, he still failed to change the fate of the Knicks in the end.
122:99。
The Lakers won by 23 points.
You can't criticize the Knicks players for not working hard enough and not being aggressive enough. They had done as much as they could, and even had two players with calf cramps in the fourth quarter and Marbury was carried off the court.
In fact, three minutes before the end of the fourth quarter, the Knicks chased the score to just six points. But with Zach Randolph's three consecutive missed shots, Kobe Bryant seized the opportunity to counterattack and led the team to eight points in a row, and there was no suspense in the game.
After the game, Dugg was lifted off the court by a physical trainer for the first time in his career.
Even if it is iron, there are moments of tiredness.
ESPN's statisticians point out that Dugg is the player who runs the longest distance in the game, as well as the player who has the most physical duels from the No. 1 to the No. 5 position...... He couldn't do more.
In an interview with the media after the game, Kobe Bryant made it clear and straightforward: "I want our management to follow him from now on, and I want him to come to Los Angeles when his contract expires!" I add him, and the world is invincible! He's not just Scott Pippen, he's also Dennis Rodman, and even Ron Haber. ”
"You can't find a better player for me than him!" Kobe Bryant emphasized, "At the same time, I can make him a better superstar, and I'm the only player in the world who can increase his scoring average to 25 or even 30 points per game." ”
Black Mamba confesses affectionately.
He's seeing things through now, and the first thing he wants to do to surpass Michael Jordan is to find a top spot that can rival Scott Pippen. Snoopy is undoubtedly the best target.
He didn't just talk about it, and that night, he spoke to Jerebus very seriously on the phone.
He carefully and rigorously explored the various trading possibilities, and he proposed a deal with Andrew Bynum, Lamar Odom, or Pau Gasol.
Although now the Lakers team is very stable and is already a championship-level team.
But Kobe Bryant wants to build a dynasty that can rival the Bulls' two triple-winning titles. Maybe five championships, maybe six championships, maybe eight championships.
He believes that Snoopy has a good chance of achieving this ambitious goal himself. Others like Lamar Odom, Andrew Bynum and even Pau Gasol are not enough to accompany him in this quest.
Jerebus told Bryant on the phone in a weak tone: "I'm going to seriously consider the feasibility of this thing." ”
His days were numbered.
He also wants to leave the Lakers with a brilliant roster. Now Kobe Bryant gave him the template for the architecture a bit like... In the seventies and eighties, Abdul-Jabbar handed over power with magicians.
……
Dugg lay in the locker room for nearly thirty minutes when he sat up. Zach Randolph came over and talked to him for a while, hoping to reach a consensus with Dugg.
That's... He wants his unlimited right to fire unfettered. Because he realizes that as Snoopy has more and more initiative on the offensive end, the number of times he pulls away with the ball is far lower than the probability of catching and shooting.
'It was the key to conceding three goals in the last minute and I didn't get the chance to make a follow-up.
Zach Randolph emphasized.
Dugg was silent, he didn't know what to say to Randolph.
Randolph has been out for more than a month from injury, and when he returned, the team actually went on a very different pace of play.
The disconnect between him and the rest of the team is evident and... As Dugg began to control the ball more and deliberately executed those 'super difficult' jump shots, his role became less and less apparent.
This gave him a sense of crisis.
So, when Doog was able to sit up, he came over and talked about it.
'We're going to find a way to play that fits everyone's attacking rhythm."
Dugg patted him on the shoulder, then signaled that he had to go to the hospital for a medical check-up.
The conversation between the two did not lead to a definitive result, only a rough consensus.
……
Although the Knicks lost one game, they were still applauded and cheered by the entire city when they returned to New York. No one was harsh on their failures, in fact everyone was praising them and being proud of them from the bottom of their hearts.
With such a lineup, it would have been a great honor to win at Stamps.
After the first game, the New York media played all kinds of "counterattack miracles" headlines, and Snoopy became the savior who saved the Knicks from hell! Marbury, Eddie Curry, Richardson and other muddy players who were originally abused and humiliated have also turned into inspirational symbols, and the prodigal son does not change his money!
"There's no doubt that Snoopy changed the locker room culture."
Donnie Walsh has spoken about it in the media more than once.
Of course, the other players are also emphasizing this. Richardson even made an exaggerated expression in a special interview with Time magazine: "I don't know why I would follow the orders of a hairy boy who has not dried up." But it just happened. All of us were changed because of him, he took us through this series of impossible battles, our self-confidence, our positivity, and even our initial love for basketball was called back. ”
"Rebellion is by no means the norm in the Knicks locker room right now, and Snoopy makes us better people."
The Knicks' historic transformation this season has become a cultural phenomenon, Snoopy seems to be a priest with magical powers, it is he who walks into the dark and boundless Knicks locker room, and brings a group of devils back to the world, becoming positive and positive people!
NBA officials obviously love this kind of story, and they use a lot of media resources to promote it.
This has given Dugg a greater degree of popularity, and it has also allowed him to get rid of some duchess girl lace news and become a model of positive energy.
And this way... The benefit is that the endorsement products are more diverse and the price is higher.
Lin was undoubtedly the happiest person to be, arriving in New York ahead of the Knicks' third Finals game with three of her signings.
Tygibson of the University of Southern California, Stephen Curry of Davis College, and James Johnson of Wake Forest University.
Tejibson used to be Duge's sworn enemy, and in college, he didn't take Duge seriously, and even said a lot of disdainful things during the duel.
Now, however, he had to look up at Dug.
When he met Duge, he said a lot of admiring words. No one knows if he's sincere, but the reality is that Dugg has already become an NBA superstar he can't match.
Stephen Curry and Dugg are already very familiar with each other, and he walks into Dug's house as if he walked into his own home.
And James Johnson from Wake Forest gave Dugg a very special sense of intimacy, and the striker, whom Lin Weiwei called a defensive expert, hugged Dug as soon as he saw him: "I like your style of play very much. Look at! This is your avatar, I tattooed it on my dantian!! ”
Yes, James Johnson clearly said the word 'dantian' in Chinese.
He comes from a martial arts family and learned karate from his parents at an early age. Originating from the Ryukyu Tang hand in Okinawa, the Kampo stream originated in Chinese boxing and later spread to the United States. He is currently a second-degree black belt and competed in his first MMA bout at the age of 18. Now they have an amazing 22-0 record.
Forehead.......
Dugg has reservations about having his head tattooed on his lower abdomen, especially... The tattoo's own eyes were still wide...... What if his girlfriend squatted down to eat a banana and looked up to see 'herself' and looked at each other... Wouldn't she have a different association?
"I think the Knicks can pick him in this year's draft."
Lin Weiwei walked over and told Duge.
By this time, James Johnson was almost jumping up with excitement. God knows why the martial arts pro wants to consider himself his idol.
"Your dodging moves in the Eastern Conference semifinals against Pachulia and Josh Smith are amazing, and you're definitely a super talented boxer." James Johnson repeatedly stressed this to Dugg, and he began to imitate the dodge.
This caused Duge to remind Lin Weiwei when he went to the supermarket to shop: "Are you sure that kid shouldn't bring talent to MMA?" ”
"Oh, no. Snoopy, if you look at his style of play, you will see that he is a very good player for you. Your Knicks need such a player on the wing. ”
Lin Weiwei said: "That's right. Knicks management once again talked to me about Stephen Curry, are you sure you don't want Curry to be your helper? ”
Duge nodded: "Yes, he should go to Auckland." Didn't you tell me that he already got the draft guarantee from Nelson Sr.? ”
"OK, I'm going to turn down Donnie Walsh tonight. Also, as your agent, the Knicks have had some trade discussions with me, and they obviously want you to be involved, and you can see that they're going to make a big move this summer. will even take advantage of the current national enthusiasm for the drama of 'prodigal sons' to remove all these 'prodigal sons'. ”
"I'm not going to pay attention to it until the finals are over."
"I don't want to treat basketball as a business, but for management, of course, it is. ”
Lin Weiwei closed her mouth at the right time.
After a while, she said, "After the finals, we are going to be involved in the promotion of the film documentary. What do you think? Can you get your duchess ladies over and cheer on the new movie? This is related to the box office revenue of this movie. ”
Dugg stretched back.
"Don't blame me for not reminding you, you've recently increased your holdings in Twitter and Facebook, and there's a small company called Hatsapp, and if you're not willing to give up Apple stock, then you'll need a lot of money."
When Lin Weiwei mentioned this, Du Ge could only nod: "Okay! ”
