As for the message that ESPN couldn't wait to get from Duke Snoopy, Zachrandolph was quick to give the answer. He appeared at the post-match press conference with a smile on his face, and there is no doubt that tonight was one of the masterpieces of his career.

In less than 30 minutes of playing time, he scored 41 points and 14 rebounds on super shooting percentage and led the team to a comeback victory.

When the reporter repeats this data, it is impossible not to sigh, this is simply a superstar story template.

In fact, Lan Fat also has the respect of the players in the locker room. Stephen Marbury praised him in a series of 'official' words, and although he previously found it a bit awkward to be 'a great team player, a loyal locker room friend, a tried and tested interior barrier', he couldn't help but smile when the compliments fell on his own.

He then hugged Stephen Marbury in a comradely mood.

He's starting to enjoy the team atmosphere.

He was then taken to the post-match press conference by the team's PR manager, Tony Johnson, who enjoyed the privilege of being interviewed by all the media alone. When he walked into the speakerbox, he swore it was one of the few experiences in his life that all the New York reporters in the audience applauded.

He was a little embarrassed. Then he saw a New York Times reporter stand up and praise him and thank him for a superstardom-like performance.

This made Zach Randolph's mood feel like he was on a rocket and went straight into the clouds.

"I have to thank the guys behind me, we're a team. We no longer rob a game like a gang, we attack like an army. Each of us has our own position, and we are relieved to hand over our backs to our teammates...... Without them, I would never have had it so easy on the offensive end! ”

Zach Randolph turned out to be humble in front of the media.

However, the New York Times reporter who threw out the 'New York Times reporter just now even praised you as the No. 1 forward in the NBA today, but there are still quite a few people who lock that name as Stoudemire, or Tim Duncan, Nowitzki, what do you think? He replied very earnestly; "I think I'm number one."

This answer caused some uproar and applause at the scene.

Reporters in New York certainly think that the super double-double forward with 40+ points is the number one forward in the league today, but it's clear that other reporters don't think so.

ESPN then asked a poignant question: "Snoopy gave up a lot of shots tonight, and he's been based on defense and strategy. Do you think your perfect play has anything to do with him? Or is it because of his sacrifice that you are brilliant? ”

This question is full of pitfalls.

However, Randolph avoided it perfectly, his emotional intelligence seemed to have been suddenly blessed by God, he actually smiled and said, "Hey, buddy." We are a team and everything we do is for the sake of winning. Of course, I'm very grateful to Snoopy, he made me stronger, there's no doubt about it. ”

"There are always people who misunderstand how a team works, like there are a lot of people who say that Stoudemire is one of the league's top strikers because of Stephen Nash, but everyone knows that the two of them are inseparable. Just like me and Snoopy! ”

Zach Randolph's high emotional intelligence was surprising, and he even commented on the NBA's hottest current affairs news with justice: "I would never play a game of gambling with a rookie in the locker room, never." I won't pull out a pistol because of a pitiful gambling money, this is an irrational madness! Arenas must make a sincere apology to the public, and he must realize that his actions are a huge disservice to the NBA as a league. ”

It sounds darkly humorous, but Randolph didn't look like that before.

The reporters present even wanted to pry open Zack's head to see what surprising changes had taken place inside.

……

In the sports media of the day, Zach Randolph was the undisputed protagonist, even putting his name on the discussion list of 'who is the number one forward in the league today' and putting it on the front page of its website.

This became a hot topic in basketball forums for a while. And a lot of voting pages appeared. In these pages, without exception, Tim Duncan is the person with the highest number of votes, and despite some say that he is getting older, his position remains unbreakable.

Stoudemire received the second-most votes, and since the Sharks' departure, he has been given more autonomy and he even has a chance of becoming the leading scorer this season.

Subsequently... It turned out to be Zach Randolph, and behind him were Nowitzki and Kevin Garnett.

And this ...... It didn't spark a lot of protests. After all, Nowitzki's fans are known for their Buddhist lineage, although the German tanks have always been in the first camp of the power forward position, and have dominated the starting list in the West for many years. But in reality, he never competed for the position of the league's No. 1 forward, and he was shrouded in the shadow of two No.21s from the moment he entered the league. Over time, fans have also looked down on these rankings. It's only when it comes to competing for real fire that proud statistics and the honor of regular season MVP will be displayed.

As for KG fans, they are now more keen to discuss how to get a Finals MVP trophy. They were already indifferent to Garnett's personal accolades, after all, KG had won almost every individual accolade they could at the beginning of the century, and during that time, he even suppressed Tim Duncan for a time.

Such comparisons and votes are not unusual, they happen almost every day, and the stars named rarely respond.

However, this time, there were three parties who responded.

First up is Tim Duncan, a 'veteran' who has been playing steadily for 10 years, producing 20+10 every night and already surpassing Karl Malone in the all-time rankings, is the first to express his appreciation for Randolph: "He's extremely talented and has perfect offensive skills. With Snoopy's help, he has a chance to become one of the best power forwards in the league. Actually, I'm already a fan of him. ”

Tim Duncan has a long-standing admiration for Randolph and is not one to mind others stealing the limelight, he has been called the most humble and low-key superstar the NBA has ever seen. So, when the reporter asked him this question, he was very frank and appreciative.

However, Stoudemire was clearly sensitive to some of Randolph's remarks, and Stoudemire, who had been in a falling out with the Phoenix media lately, had a stomach full of anger. Phoenix's record this season hasn't been as satisfying as the fans, and Suns management is credited with doing everything they can for Stoudemire...... They sent away Shackle O'Neal, who had forced his space on the attack, and increased the number of times he attacked with the ball on the offensive end.

However, the results did not live up to the expectations of the fans. And Stoudemire turned down an early contract extension this summer. This contract was indeed a bit unsatisfactory at the time, and the Suns did not pay the maximum salary. This made Stoudemire feel like he was not being respected.

Right now... There are plenty of media rumors that Stoudemire will step out of the player option and become a free agent next summer...... In this way, Phoenix will undoubtedly lose a lot, or even gain nothing. So... Now there are rumors that the Suns are interested in trading Stoudemire in exchange for some potential players or draft picks in order to achieve a quick rebuild.

New York is the most mentioned name, and Gentry has shown his affection for Matthews and James Johnson on more than one occasion, even though he already has Grant Hill and Jason Richardson.

"Zach Randolph played like a lazy sloth last night, and all his goals were fed to him by Snoopy. He doesn't have to do any work on the pitch at all, Snoopy will help him defend, help him attract defenders, and even help him break away from defenders. I've never worked so closely with Stephen, we just block and tear things off, and then we each release our energy. ”

"It's not fair to compare him to me. I don't like this discussion. ”

Stoudemire told the camera that a reporter then asked about trade rumors about him. Lately, there has been a lot of gossip that the Suns no longer want to renew their relationship with the 2002 No. 9 pick. If there is a team willing to take over, they are willing to trade.

However, there is a great deal of uncertainty in this. Stoudemire will be a free agent next year, and God knows if he'll sign with a trade team by then, and no one wants to make a splash.

"It's not about me, I just want to play seriously." Stoudemire replied calmly, refusing to answer any questions about the transaction.

But then, word broke around him that Stoudemire was interested in returning to his hometown to play for New York.

Such rumors make Stoudemire's criticism of Zachrandolph seem to have ulterior motives, or at least not without purpose.

In fact, there was some speculation in New York at this time: why not trade Stoudemire with Randolph?

Such speculation was quickly denied by the New York media, who believed that Randolph was better, and that Stoudemire was the first man in the league to attack the front at the forward position and the first to block and catch the ball, but also the best forward who combined body and technique. But... Zach Randolph's chemistry with the Duke was inextricably linked, and no one wanted to break up the situation when they easily defeated a knight.

In a sense, Zach Randolph has become the absolute hope of the Knicks inside through a game.

And, in the second race he proved. He scored 49 points against the Charlotte Bobcats, along with nine rebounds. The Bobcats, led by Larry Brown, are ambitious this year and are frantically trying to get to the brink of the playoffs. But the 123:92 massacre brought shame to Larry Brown, especially when he saw Isaiah Thomas cheering loudly on the sidelines in a suit.

The Qiansheng coach left a disgraceful record in New York, which at the time everyone thought was a problem caused by the chaotic management of the chaotic players.

Now, however, Isaiah Thomas is still there, so is Zach Randolph, and so is Eddie Curry...... But the Knicks seem to be already a powerful man in the East.

Moreover, Randolph turned out to be a super power forward. At the same time, Milicic, the rookie he gave up, actually played a career masterpiece on the Knicks. Tonight, he had 12 points, 15 rebounds, 3 blocks and 1 steal, and his next contract starts at least $10 million.

Needless to say, Larry Brown suffered the most important Waterloo of his life at Madison Garden.

All those who had been despised by him and abandoned by him stood up and brandished butcher knives against themselves.

"Snoopy is the soul of New York, he has revitalized the system and put every player in the right place for them. If I coach him, I won't discipline him in any way, even if he takes the duchess to the training ground. ”

When the old-school academic Larry Brown said this, it really made people feel a sense of the absurdity of time and space. Is this still the same militarized management of Larry Brown? Is this still the stubborn head coach who fell out with Iverson and Marbury one after another?

"Everyone has to thank that Chinese boy, whether it's Stephen Marbury, or Zach Randolph, or Milicic, or Isaiah Thomas, it was Snoopy who came and saved their careers. I haven't made any mistakes in the past, I just didn't get my Duke of Snoopy. That's it! ”

Larry Brown finally concludes with a grim face, saying that he doesn't want to stay in the spotlight of New York for long, because the caustic New York reporters give him a sense of humiliation after settling accounts.

But in fact, the New York reporter still agreed with his final assertion, and everyone thought that Snoopy had changed everything. But... The New York media will never be soft-mouthed. They proved with their practical actions why there is a saying: if you love someone, send them to New York. If you hate someone, send him to New York.

Kevin Garnett apparently didn't like New York very much, and he made a tirade before he left for New York. From last year's finals to this year's Zach Randolph's sudden rise. This is the first meeting between the Celtics and the Knicks this season. He looked full of anger.

In a sense, when he glared at each other in front of the camera.

Duke Snoopy also had some kind of fire in his heart, and he didn't know why he was in a high-end villa on Long Island. Britney said to bring him over to meet the world, and he met Taylor Swift here.

It looks like a premeditation.
