0244: [Transaction Happens]

"Do you want to see the last ball?"

By the time Jamal Crawford kicked the basketball out, Donnie Walsh had already turned around.

For him, the matchup no longer has meaning. In fact, when Dugg hit three balloons in a row, he already wanted to go. Anyway... The Jamal Crawford deal is a foregone conclusion.

Whether Nate Robinson rejoiced or Quentin Richardson cheered next, it had nothing to do with him.

"I didn't gamble."

He muttered and headed for the players' tunnel.

And just as he walked to the sidelines, the arena suddenly erupted in loud cheers. He turned his head to see Snoopy hanging from the basket.

Nate Robinson and Zach Randolph were already in a frenzy, the rest of the staff were yelling, and even the most reserved of D'Antoni couldn't help but jump to cheer. Those players who lost dollars couldn't help but applaud it.

He frowned, did I miss something?

He subconsciously looked at the big screen above his head, but at this time the broadcast system had not yet entered the work.

He could only shake his head and walk into the players' tunnel.

For him, not seeing the last goal is a great loss indeed.

Because, at the same time as he turned to leave, Dugg suddenly took a step, as if he had killed himself, and struck into their encirclement. And when Jamal and Crawford were delighted and contracted their defense, he completed a lightning-fast crotch dribble, followed by a sharp turn in the gap, just as Crawford yelled 'go'...... Bang!

The basketball collided violently on the rebound, and Dugg, who turned away, quickly stepped into the paint zone, even as Chandler pressed and followed. But in the final take-off, his bounce speed was still half a beat slower.

Dugg grabbed the basketball first, and the bodies of the two collided strongly in the air.

Suddenly, Chandler was defeated and landed in a panic.

Dugg slammed the basketball into the basket with both hands.

At this point, Jamal Crawford was still struggling with how Snoopy smashed the basketball to the rebound, and how did he manage to pass the ball while turning? Is there really no walking?

He didn't have eyes in the back of his head.

But the surrounding audience screamed neatly at the moment when the dunk happened.

It was then that those who bet on the duo realized that their money had been lost with the violent dunk.

"Snoopy is the first person in the NBA to throw and dunk!!" Isaiah Thomas shouted appreciation.

He was in a happy mood to the extreme.

This dunk allowed him to have both worlds.

Eddie Curry and Jerome James made statistics that Isaiah Thomas would get $10,500 in addition to paying them a part of the fee. More than doubled, Zach Randolph, who bet the most, made even more.

This made Quentin Richardson and others look bitter, they didn't expect Dugg to really score four goals. While all four of these balls seem to be a stroke of chance, but... It's in!

Although D'Antoni did not win or lose, he immediately called Dug aside.

At the moment when Dugg overwhelmed Wilt Chandler's violent jump, the shadow of Stoudemire before his knee injury suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

Then, he realized something else.

That's... Snoopy is not Stephen Nash second.

He's just running and booming!

He can be Stoudemire, he can be Sean Marion, he can be Boris Dio, he can be Stephen Nash, he can even be Ragabel. He has a shadow of each and every one of them.

"It's a gift from God."

D'Antoni believed in the existence of God before Donnie Walsh.

"Next, I'll build tactics around you." D'Antoni calmly told Snoopy: "Chris Dujon has proven that he's just a decent backup point guard. Now we need a defender with talent and spirit to lead us to a new system. This person is you! ”

Dugg looked at D'Antoni in surprise.

He didn't expect a matchup to make D'Antoni's attitude towards himself change so dramatically.

"I can even give you unlimited right to fire. But you have to promise me one thing, you are my player! D'Antoni stared earnestly into Snoopy's eyes, he needed a very positive answer.

He didn't want Dugg to have any more to do with Isaiah Thomas, even though Thomas had brought him to New York.

"Of course. I will enforce your tactical regulations unconditionally. Dugg replied to D'Antoni with the same seriousness.

D'Antoni nodded.

He patted Dugg on the shoulder. At this moment, he regarded Duge as a descendant.

Isaiah Thomas had been watching D'Antoni's movements from a short distance away, and he was not surprised. When he was planning to bring Snoopy to the Big Apple, he had already thought about this happening...... It's impossible for a run-and-gun coach not to love Snoopy! Snoopy's mismatch advantage would make D'Antoni's small-ball storm even more intense.

However, in his heart.

Snoopy shouldn't be completely confined by the small-ball style. But now, he's not in a hurry.

Jamal Crawford and Wilt Chandler didn't hold on to the last goal, but they still felt good and even joked around in the dressing room.

They agreed that Snoopy's layup was so ridiculous that he threw the basketball straight under the basket and flew out of bounds.

"Snoopy, if you want to get more playing time, you should step up your shots." At one point, Jamal Crawford patted Dugg on the shoulder and preached: "Your upper body is too stiff when you shoot. You should be a little softer, shooting is an art, not throwing grenades. ”

Dugg thanked them so much that he thought the two teammates were so good that he even left phone calls for each other.

However, the night's game against the Los Angeles Clippers left Crawford and Wilt Chandler dumbfounded.

The pair didn't get a minute of playing time, and Dugg played the full 48 minutes, starting at No. 4, then No. 2, then No. 1. D'Antoni gave him the fullest credit, even shouting when he was 10 points ahead in the game: "Shoot! Shooting! Shoot a little more resolute!! ”

Such encouragement was unexpected, and it fell into Crawford's ears to be particularly poignant.

He even wanted to choke D'Antoni by the neck and confront him: "Why did Snoopy miss four shots in a row, even two balls or air balls, and you still encourage him to shoot??" Why don't I get this treatment? ”

However, the question had become pointless before the end of the game.

Because... His agent told him before the end of the fourth quarter: "The New York Knicks, Memphis Grizzlies, Los Angeles Clippers made a three-point deal and you were sent to Los Angeles." ”

What the?

He felt incredible.

Also unbelievable was Donnie Walsh, who didn't expect the trade to happen so quickly. He even wanted to ask Isaiah Thomas if he had already discussed it with Dunleavy in Los Angeles and Wallace in Memphis. Less than five hours after agreeing to the transaction proposal, the three-way deal was handed over to the alliance headquarters and completed very quickly.

New York's chips were Jamal Crawford and Wilt Chandler. Get Daco Milishic from the Memphis Grizzlies with a second-round pick, as well as Stephanie Novak from the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Clippers sent Tim Thomas, Catino Mobley, Steve Novak. Get Jamal Crawford from the Knicks, Marco Jaric from the Grizzlies.

The Memphis Grizzlies sent Milicic and Marco Jaric and got Catino Mobley, Tim Thomas and Wilt Chandler.

The deal didn't cause much of a stir, as the players involved don't have what it takes to change the league.

"It's a 'since everybody has nothing to do, let's make a deal'. A group of veterans with the last fat contract have completed what may be the last migration of their careers, and the only slight surprise is... The Knicks actually sent away their strongest attacker on the perimeter and the second-best attacker on the perimeter, and then traded for a parallel eyeball and a three-point shooter who couldn't shoot under any confrontation. But... Looking back, this was a trade operated by Isaiah Thomas, so what else is so strange? He's already traded Snoopy for three first-rounders, so what else can't he do? ”

ESPN's instant comments were dominated by mockery of Isaiah Thomas.

However, that night's game also seemed to justify the taunt.

In the absence of Wilt Chandler and Jamal Crawford, the two strongest singles, the Los Angeles Clippers completed a fatal counterattack in the last 3 minutes. Cory Maggeti hit three shots in quick succession, and Dugg's final strike went wide of the basket.

98:100。

The Knicks lost the game.

Snoopy, who shot 4-of-15 from the field, received another boo from Madison Garden after the game.

Although Snoopy still contributed 11 points, 11 assists, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks tonight, fans were still angry at his last-minute inability.

They need a superstar who can finish a game at a crucial moment.

However, Dugg clearly doesn't have what it takes over the game in the countdown phase.

"Why? Why trade me with Wilt Chandler!! After the game, outside the dressing room, Crawford questioned D'Antoni to his face.

Trades are very common in the NBA, but they think they have been wronged!!

Obviously a big win in the morning, Snoopy just scored a few balloons.

But at night, the underdog became the sole master of the Knicks' outside line, and he was sold.

"I'm not convinced!!" Welt Chandler, a sophomore, said indignantly, "I don't think I'm worse than Snoopy!" ”

D'Antoni pursed his lips, and he said calmly, "I'm sorry." Snoopy will be at the heart of our rebuilding and we have to clear space for him. ”

"You're going to regret it!!"

Crawford glared at D'Antoni so hard that he shouted it with all his strength, and slashed Dugg as he left with his bag. In stark contrast to his mildness in the afternoon.

Obviously, he could not accept this fact. He thought he would die in New York, where he had already bought a house and his children were studying. But now, because of this guy who can't even shoot, he has to fly from the East Coast to the West Coast overnight, and then experience a rookie life, starting from renting a house, and readjusting to life and work.

"I'm looking forward to meeting you again. I'm going to blow you up! ”

When Wilt Chandler left, he also sent a letter of war directly to Dug.

This made Duge, who was already depressed because of the failure to win, even more unhappy, he didn't know why the deal happened, and he couldn't decide the will of the management, he didn't think that this matter had anything to do with him. But now, these two people are clearly putting their fire on themselves, and they are completely strong, as if they are really persimmons they knead at will.

So, he replied very directly: "First of all, I accept your challenge. Secondly, please don't rush to define the quality of this transaction, time will tell. Finally, good luck to you guys. ”
