With Wesley Matthews unable to be activated from the injury list, Snoopy spent more than 50 percent of the night's game swinging back and forth between the shooting guard and point guard positions.

To be honest, a quasi-triple-double of 8 points, 9 assists and 8 rebounds can be considered excellent for any player, especially when this player is still a sophomore rookie, and it should be described as 'promising'.

However, the vast majority of voices in the basketball media are talking about 'how Snoopy was eaten alive by Deron Williams' or 'Snoopy is at a loss on the guard line and he simply can't guard any player.' ’。

It even sounds like Snoopy committed some heinous sin in the game, when in fact the New Yorkers won the game. Snoopy drew a foul on Melteoku in the paint area with 22 seconds left in the fourth quarter, hit two free throws to seal the game, and then defended Deron Williams' three-point shot.

However, the focus of the pundits is on Snoopy's passivity in defending against Korver and Ronnie Brewer, who always claim that Snoopy is like an idle street thug when defending without the ball, never knowing where the next bullet will come from.

"Actually, he was even worse when he defended Delon. Whenever Deron Williams swayed sideways, his attention was drawn and he watched as Deron Williams made a change of direction breakout. Deron Williams' style of play is his nemesis, as Deron excels at using big directional cuts, while Snoopy's poor coordination keeps him from keeping up with the pace of top perimeter players...... Even if his mind can keep up, his body can't keep up. ”

Basketball columns suddenly reviewed Snoopy to the highest standards overnight: "He didn't act like an All-Star at all, and he finally hit the rookie wall hard!" ”

This trend is especially pronounced in the Los Angeles area, where it seems that the whole of California is criticizing the Duke.

From his ability to defend from the outside, to his breakaway efficiency after being targeted for help, and his low shooting percentage as always.

The black dots were frequent, and the Duke seemed to have become useless in an instant.

And at this time, Zach Randolph's sudden rise was particularly dazzling. He had 32 points and 15 rebounds against the Utah Jazz...... This made Carlos Boozer, who had been muttering about competing with Randolph, look particularly slap in the face. However, after the game, he stressed: "Zachrandolph is not a power forward at all, he is a center. He's always at the No. 5 spot, and Snoopy is the real No. 4 with the Knicks. ”

At the same time, he also declared: "At least a third of Zach Randolph's stats come directly from Snoopy, if he is the league's number one forward." Then Snoopy is the league's No. 1 organizational striker! ”

This sentence seems a bit out of place in the current environment, so there is not much positive media coverage.

Now the public opinion in the basketball media is very unanimous, that is, New York is Zach Randolph's team, and Randolph has become the ace of aces.

When Snoopy arrived in Oklahoma, Snoopy replied very clearly: "Of course! Zach is the absolute core of us. ”

There was a hint of weirdness in his frank admission.

And Zach Randolph's 'I can't succeed without the help of Snoopy and other teammates, we are one' in front of the media is even more unpredictable. What the hell is going on here? A month ago, the two were still on edge. And Is Zach Randolph transsexual?

In Oklahoma, the New York team extended their winning streak. Zach Randolph was still shining brightly, with 29 points and 12 rebounds.

And Snoopy's stats have dropped across the board again, with 7 points, 11 assists, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks, although they still look very comprehensive.

But his job on guard was still terrible, and his old classmate Westbrook had his fourth career triple-double that night, with 22 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds...... While the triple-double was considered by many to be the culprit that put the Thunder into garbage time in the third quarter, some fans thought Westbrook's last-minute self-demotion was a deliberate triple-double.

However, in this direct conversation.

Westbrook has undoubtedly won across the board in terms of stats. At the same time, he also managed to break through Snoopy twice, using his violent acceleration.

In fact, Kevin Durant also made three of three shots against Snoopy.

This year's rookie James Harden even made Snoopy a shooting foul from beyond the three-point line.

This has led critics to even dubbed Duke Snoopy an 'outside defensive ATM'.

These criticisms also had a chemical change when they returned to New York, and although many people knew that Duke Snoopy's defense on the perimeter was indeed inherently flawed, all of a sudden public opinion hit like a storm, and the media couldn't help but dance along.

Of course, the vast majority of voices are adamant that Snoopy will learn from this and will definitely get better.

And now that the team has won four consecutive away games, leaving the entire Northwest Division in a hole, there is no reason to put any pressure on the players. It is now the stage where the team's record is on the elevator to rise.

However, it was when the Knicks, who were playing on the road, flew to Minnesota. A blockbuster news broke from the Los Angeles Orange County Chronicle.

"LeBron James is tired of Cleveland's boredom and management's inaction, and he's fed up with the team's weakness at the No. 4 position. According to his very close business partners, he has been infinitely inclined to go to New York, and he hopes to join hands with Zach Randolph to establish a dynasty in the big city and expand his business territory rapidly! ”

This revelation sounds like a nose and an eye. In fact, the media in New York also exposed the news that LeBron James registered a business company in New York some time ago, which does sound very credible.

And when the Knicks won five straight games in Minnesota, the Orange County Chronicle's follow-up story became: "LeBron James doesn't want to be teammates with Snoopydou, he wants the Knicks to build a two-tower lineup." ”

This revelation has caused some inexplicable emotions among fans in Los Angeles: Could it be that LeBron James wants to complete the trade between the Lakers and New York, and he wants Andrew Bynum to assist him?

However, Andrew Bynum has been playing exceptionally well lately, averaging 15 points and 10 rebounds per game since Christmas, and has given the Lakers a strong shield defensively.

Trade him again at this time?

There has been a lot of opposition among the Lakers fan base, after all, the recent news that Snoopy hit the rookie wall is very loud.

At the same time, the New York media has shown unprecedented ambiguity.

LeBron James is the best small forward in the league today, without a doubt, and he's only in his prime, and he can dominate the league for at least seven or even ten years. And Snoopy is still a piece of jade with obvious flaws. Compare the two...... There will certainly be more people who choose LeBron James.

And, LeBron James confirmed the chemistry between him and the tall center. If Bynum can really join, Randolph plus Little Shark plus LeBron, this lineup can overturn the entire league just by imagining!

However, the question now is, is this news true? Is LeBron James really coming? Or is this just a ploy that LeBron uses to put pressure on management?

If you shout long live at this time, will it make Snoopy uncomfortable? If Snoopy is traded to Los Angeles for Bynum, but LeBron James doesn't come, will we lose our money because of this?

The attitude of the New York media has become extremely ambiguous, and they are afraid to say that they welcome the franchise or say anything in favor of the deal. However, it is not uncommon to see some sneaky statements in the media: if LeBron joins .......

The whole city of New York was plunged into a faint excitement and a vague sense of worry.

And at this time, the Knicks suffered a defeat in Washington.

The Knicks, who are on a five-game winning streak, lost to the Wizards, who have recently been short of major generals. Jamison was surprisingly energetic that night, as he was pushed to the No. 4 position by the team, and he was so strong from inside to outside that he scored a career-high 55 points on 22-of-36 shooting.

"It's hard to take a win when Jamison's shot is as simple as throwing a pebble into the Atlantic."

Stephen Marbury acted as a spokesman after the game, and he had a light-hearted look of helplessness.

And after this game, the Knicks will return to their home court for the next three consecutive games at Madison Garden.

And before those matches, Snoopy was invited into the office by Donnie Walsh, with Isaiah Thomas and D'Antoni also sitting there, who will have an in-depth discussion about the upcoming deal.

In fact, before entering the office, Snoopy received a call from Los Angeles when he was in the parking space outside. Kobe Bryant told him in a very emotional voice: "We've been approached by New York, and there's at least a 50 percent chance you'll be in Los Angeles before the All-Star break." ”

Then, he made a bad joke: "Chris Paul is going to hate you because you're going to easily steal his All-Star starter." ”

That doesn't sound funny at all.

Snoopy froze for nearly a minute, then he replied, "It's just a simple contact." Don't use this to confuse my mind. ”

Kobe Bryant smiled on the other end of the phone, and then said something affectionate: "In the whole basketball world, about the comparison between Duke Snoopy and King LeBron, only in my heart, Duke is more important." ”
