0322: [Duke Snoopy's New York era begins!] 】
All eyes were on Duge.
Both managers were very strange, they had the impression that Snoopy was definitely not a prick, he was always conscientious to complete the tasks assigned to him, and he took every training task in training camp seriously, never complaining as much as Randolph did, or arriving late and leaving early.
Both Isaiah Thomas and Donnie Walsh thought there might be some misunderstanding.
However, Dugg's next speech surprised them.
"Mr. Coaches, I have a lot of respect for you. However, before you can decide the winner, I have decided to lead the players to play with the help of the assistant coaches, bypassing your command. ”
"I can't tolerate this internal friction anymore. Your quarrels have made our substitution strategy illogical. With Gallinari finally finding his touch, Mr. Thomas will be replaced by Quentin due to the arrival of rotation time. When Quentin was able to run back from inside the box to create a misaligned kill, Mr. D'Antoni couldn't wait to bring on Gallinari...... Scenarios like this abound and we are stuck in a vicious circle, which is unfair to each of us. ”
"Although I know... Defeating the Boston Celtics is an extremely difficult thing to do, even with infinite possibilities close to one percent. But at least we have to make sure that we give 100 percent effort to it! ”
"If I lose this series because of something inside the team, I'm going to feel unworthy of the hard work we did in the regular season! In Los Angeles, in Miami, in Orlando, in Atlanta, and at the United Center in Chicago, all of us are fighting for where we are today. ”
"Today's playoffs didn't come easily, I'm sorry, I can't let it go to waste."
As he spoke, Doog bowed to the two.
He was polite throughout.
He didn't completely tear his face like Jason Kidd when he forced the palace.
He completed the process peacefully. Then he turned around and told the team: "I'm sorry I became this rebel, but I want everyone's support." The playoffs are an honor that we all worked hard to build, and I hope you will join me in defending it. ”
'I know it's very difficult to make the decision to leave the manager, but if you want to stay with me.
"Well, my fist is here."
As he spoke, Duge raised his fist.
Then, close your eyes and wait for the next collision.
Stephen Marbury was the first to walk up, followed by Daco Milišić and Nate Robinson.
Everyone knows that these three are Snoopy's most die-hard believers.
After these three men, there was a silence in the locker room.
Everybody knows... What it means to stand with Snoopy. Everyone knows that Snoopy is not an elite player right now, and his roots in the Knicks are too shallow. If he doesn't get the support of the executives, it's very likely that he will be thrown into the inactive list with him.
Not everyone is willing to gamble their careers.
However, that changed when Zachrandolph stood up.
"I only trust the people who can get me 25+10."
Randolph's soft murmur made everyone think, and the scales of their trade-offs began to deflect. Although D'Antoni and Isaiah Thomas promised a lot of things, the person who was able to monetize those promises was Snoopy, and his arrival made everyone's data or efficiency better, and they gained respect that they had never received before.
So, defensive titan Jared Jeffries was the first to walk up.
And then there's... David Lee, Quentin Richardson...... In the end, even Chris Dujon stepped forward.
Stephen Marbury was overjoyed to see this, and he realized that his pre-match conversation with Zach Randolph had played a crucial role: under his intellectual work, Zach Randolph agreed to his request for a united front, and he expressed his willingness to go with Snoopy. But he emphasized a lot of the details on the court, such as wanting more shots, and Marbury agreed to them all.
He knows what it means to unite all the forces that can be united.
When Eddie Curry walked up, the big picture was settled.
Isaiah Thomas and D'Antoni looked at all the team members gathered in a circle, they finally realized their failure, and at the same time they were extremely frightened: why did the team they had built so hard fall to Snoopy in an instant? What kind of magic is he exactly?
At the same time that the two of them looked at their 'descendants' in disbelief.
A man they didn't expect stood up.
Herb Williams, the team's assistant coach.
He walked over to the player, and the tall man put his hand on Duge's fist: "Let's start the New York era that belongs to Duke Snoopy!" ”
What the?
Isaiah Thomas and D'Antoni looked at each other, they never dreamed that the number one assistant coach they relied on the most would be... Surrendered to Snoopy in full view of everyone, and also claimed to have created the New York era that belonged to Duke Snoopy?
It's a complete flattery!!
The hearts of the two could barely withstand such a huge blow, you must know that Herb Williams is a Knicks humerus veteran. He has been on the Knicks' coaching staff since retiring in '99. He is both a veteran of Isaiah Thomas and a master of court space management that D'Antoni relies on.
But now... He actually defected to Snoopy?
Both looked extremely shocked and incredulous.
Whether it's Isaiah Thomas or D'Antoni, they never see Dugg as a competitor, they just see Dug as an important core component of their tactical system. They did everything they could to win over Duge, but now ...... Duge actually became the leader of the team in this way, not only won the collective support of the players, but even the first assistant coach shouted Long live the duke.
What is this?
If the two go to learn Chinese, they must understand the idiom 'sandpiper mussels compete for fishermen's profit', they are now sandpiper mussels.
Unbeknownst to them, Herb Williams had been waiting for this opportunity. When Snoopy arrived, he began to realize that what he had learned over the years from the likes of Wilkins and Larry Brown could finally find the right place to play. As he got to know each other, he found that he was a perfect fit for Snoopy.
He has always been lacking in tactical details, which is a huge flaw that has prevented him from becoming a manager. But... Snoopy is proficient in this section, and his calculating skills often impress both Thomas and D'Antoni, as if the Bulls had set up a last-minute ambush on Joakinoah, which was perfect.
Therefore, when the contradiction between Isaiah Thomas and D'Antoni gradually became public, he has been waiting for Snoopy to stand up and form a third-party force.
And tonight... With Snoopy stepping up, he felt it was time.
No matter what the outcome is, he has to give Snoopy a go.
