"The Knicks' starting lineup tonight is Eddie Curry, Jared Jeffries, Quentin Richardson, Snoopy, Stephen Marbury. The Eagles' five starters were: El Horford, Marvin Williams, Evans Morris, Joe Johnson, and Mike Bibby. ”

"Looking at the lineup, there's nothing out of the ordinary. The Knicks should still use Snoopy as an outside line on the offensive end, co-attack the basket with Stephen Marbury, and play the role of a good silhouetter. When it comes to the defensive end, he returns to the penalty area and helps Eddy Curry to help defend! ”

TNT channel commentator Earl Johnson, who is in charge of the national live broadcast, seriously analyzed before the game.

At this time, Dugg was already standing on the left side of the midline.

The smile on his lips had retracted, and forty seconds earlier, Mike Beebe had left a phrase in his ear: "Your good days are over." ”

This is a complete provocation.

The White Devil likes to use this kind of trash talk to humiliate rookies.

"yes, I'm going to have a tough Eastern Conference Finals right away." However, the rookie in his eyes is not a fuel-efficient lamp: "It's better for you guys to go into a long offseason soon." Congratulations! ”

Dugg's tone was very sincere, but it made Mike Bibby's expression instantly gloomy, and he dropped a sentence: "I hope you can still be so rampant at the end of the game." ”

Dugg ignored him and walked straight to the halfway.

Backbite!

The referee blows the whistle.

Dugg and El Horford jumped at the same time...... Syllable!

The basketball was shot to Stephen Marbury by Dugg almost instantly.

Originally, Duge's bullet speed was very amazing, but now the explosive power has increased a bit, and it is suddenly even faster!

Stephen Marbury took control of the basketball and pushed steadily to the frontcourt.

Everyone thought he was going to form a pick-and-roll with Duger...... It's pretty much the Knicks' formula.

However, Marbury gave the ball directly to Snoopy at the top of the arc.

And, instead of turning around and running, he went deep into the box, and he stopped outside the three-point line.

This is extremely puzzling.

By this time, Snoopy had already begun to swing in the face of Joe Johnson's defense, and his dribble rhythm was very smart...... The basketball danced freely in front of and behind him, and since his body coordination returned to the normal level before the meteor attack, his ball control ability has improved to a very high level, although many extreme moves, such as rushing to the ground, are not as good as Wade Iverson's super breakthrough masters, but... In terms of flamboyance, he has been able to compare with Jason Williams, who is known for his mediocre physical fitness.

Joe Johnson faced Dugg on the dribble and was unimpressed.

In fact, Kenny Smith on TV was also criticizing: "Snoopy's flashy possession does nothing but attract the cheers of the home crowd and make the game more enjoyable, and the real breakthrough is a fatal blow." ”

His voice had just fallen.

Dugg, who was in a gorgeous change of direction, suddenly stepped out of his step, extremely sharply jammed Joe Johnson's defensive hole, and flashed in one step...... The castration was swift and directly caught Joe Johnson off guard.

When Dugg was gone, Joe Johnson was inexplicably surprised: he has improved again??

By the time he turned in pursuit, Dugg had already dodged into the paint, and two steps later jumped straight to Al Horford's interference and threw the basketball out of the way.

This is a very difficult throw.

Usually only breakaways like Iverson and Tony Parker use it as a regular scoring tool in their prime.

However...... Swish!

The basketball falls into the net.

"Actually entered??"

Earl Johnson voiced Al Horford's thoughts, and he remembered that when Dugg rushed into the box, he either bumped into a defender to make a foul, or passed the ball early to assist a teammate. This time... He actually jumped over his own defense with a throw. Was it an accident?

"It should have been an accident." Kenny Smith said, "It's a very difficult technique. I don't think Snoopy, who can't even make a normal jump shot, will be able to do it! ”

"No!!" Charles Barkley shook his head firmly, and he said, "Didn't you notice that Snoopy was very resolute when he threw it?" And his breakthrough, his throw, is obviously more decisive than before. ”

They saw the footage through the broadcast video, so they couldn't feel Duger's progress as directly as Joe Johnson and Al Horford on the court. It can only be seen that Duge's attack is much more resolute than before.

Kenny Smith shrugged, "I still think it was an accident." ”

But at this point... The Eagles coaching staff was a surprise.

Because, Dugg was standing across from Joe Johnson, and he didn't... Go to the paint area to help Eddie Curry help defend it, and instead let Jeffries do the job.

"Is Snoopy going head-to-head with the top five shooting guards in the league right now? His perimeter defense did improve a bit in the last minute, but I don't think he can defend Joe Johnson, who has a full range of offensive skills. ”

Earl Johnson said: "Snoopy is taking a completely unnecessary risk. Don't forget, Joe Johnson is nearly four inches (10 centimeters) taller than him. ”

As he said that, Joe Johnson traded a tentative step for some space, and he broke through quickly before making a stop-back jumper.

Snoopy catapulted up quickly, and although he didn't block Joe Johnson, he completed the interference.

Bang!

The basketball didn't go into the hoop.

The rebound was taken by Jeffries.

Immediately, it was handed over to Stephen Marbury and slowly pushed forward.

"What sets Joe Johnson apart from other top swingmen is ...... He doesn't like to break through, and his breakthrough ability isn't top-notch. He relied more on his strong body, his half-level height, and his dizzying skill to trick opponents and force defenders into multiple-choice questions. But... Snoopy's advantage is that he has a smart enough brain that he can quickly analyze the real and fake moves of his opponent, which Cameron and Pierce must have well understood. At the same time, although his height is not enough, his reach and bounce speed make up for this deficiency to a certain extent. Plus... Strong enough to carry Ben Wallace's body. ”

Charles Barkley smiled and was rather obscene: "I think Joe Johnson's shooting percentage will be at least five percent lower tonight than in the last game." ”

As soon as Barkley said this, Dugg once again completed the breakthrough against Joe Johnson.

He flashed in front of Joe Johnson like a butterfly in flowers, as if he was juggling Joe Johnson. However, when Joe Johnson's footwork showed a slight flaw, he immediately accelerated suddenly, used his explosive power to break through the defense and rushed to the penalty area, and once again rode and threw arrows with Malvin Williams defending...... Swish!

Once again, the basketball went smoothly into the hoop.

"It's not an accident."

Earl Johnson gave his reasoning on the commentary bench: "Two consecutive high-difficulty throws, if you don't have the confidence in your heart, Snoopy shouldn't be so risky. ”

"It's certainly not an accident or a fluke. Remember what Dwyane Wade said? Snoopy is a typical Chinese character, so he will not take out all his hole cards. Throw... It was nothing more than a weapon he had taken out of his arsenal that had been made long ago. Charles Barkley said arbitrarily.

Kenny Smith frowned at Charles Barkley's arbitrariness, and he still didn't think Dugg could have mastered such a difficult throw so quickly. It's just that with two identical goals in a row, he no longer dares to swear that this is an accident.

The game goes on.

Joe Johnson hit a back-to-back jumper in the front court with a back-to-back single.

As a top-five super shooting guard in the league, his ability is unquestionable. However, he had to admit that he had done everything he could in the face of Duge, who was 191 tall...... After all, this is a super big backlash after a back-to-back single.

Looking back, Dugg once again made a surgical breakthrough: first paralyzing his opponent with a dazzling breakthrough, and then striking sharply with a sudden increase in explosive power, Joe Johnson seemed a little overwhelmed.

Only this time, Malvin Williams' supplementary defense focused on limiting his offense, so... Without hesitation, Dugg passed the basketball to Jeffries, who hit an open jumper.

Yibian fought again, and Joe Johnson no longer played alone. Instead, it was Mike Bibi and Elhorford who made the pick-and-roll.

Horford hit a jumper from the free-throw line...... Eddie Curry's defense simply can't stretch out.

Immediately, Dugg passed the ball to Eddie Curry, who was stuck in the back position of the penalty area, and Eddie Curry used his strong and fat body to force Horford, and after a few impacts, he easily turned around to complete a two-point goal.

Due to Duger's ability to finish in the penalty area, coupled with Quentin Richardson and Stephen Marbury on the outside, and... Jeffries' run. This makes... The Hawks didn't dare to trap Eddie Curry unscrupulously.

I could only watch him collide with Al Horford with three hundred pounds of fat.

To this, the Eagles' response can only be... Pick up the tempo of the offense and take advantage of Eddie Curry's slow movement to eat counters.

The Knicks didn't have a good deal with it.

I can only turn around and use Eddie Curry on the inside to force me back.

There was a feeling of 'no rush at all' on both sides.

In the back and forth, the first quarter ends quickly.

29：30。

The Atlanta Hawks, playing at home, lead by one point.

This seems to be a bit out of line with what was expected before the game.

Still, McWoodson still had a smug smile on his face. Albeit... Snoopy seems to have the ability to finish under the basket, but he doesn't think it affects the big picture at all. In his opinion, the Knicks were nothing more than a dying throe. Didn't you see that Eddie Curry was out of breath after playing a game?

"With Eddie Curry's fitness, I think he'll run for five minutes at most." Earl Johnson said: "That's still an optimistic estimate. I can't understand why the Knicks used all of Eddie Curry's energy at once. Just to tie the Hawks in the first quarter? It's not smart, but the game has four quarters. ”

Kenny Smith shrugged, "Perhaps... Losing the game with such a bang is more in line with the perception of the fans. At least it creates a feeling of 'every player is giving their all'. ”

His tone was sarcastic.

While Kenny Smith was saying this in the commentary booth, Joe Johnson, who has always been known for his steadiness, told the Hawks players on the bench: "Never take the enemy lightly!" Even though Eddie Curry doesn't have the strength to fight anymore, but... The Duke Dog is progressing again! He's been a lot quicker to break through than he used to, and I think his finishing ability under the basket has been upgraded, and he hit three difficult throws in the first quarter...... They all bounce up when they break through quickly, and throw shots in the suspended state of the body, which requires very high skills and feel. ”

After his words were finished, Josh Smith, who was still suspended in a suit, said nonchalantly: "No matter how strong his finishing ability under the basket is, he can't compare to LeBron James." Even if we let him score, he can't take the game. ”

Smith's words were echoed a lot on the bench, and in the Hawks' preconceived notion that worrying about being beaten by the Duke's scoring prowess was a ridiculous and foolish thing to do. You know, the original strategy developed by the Eagles was... Push Snoopy to score!

However, Joe Johnson always felt that there was something in it that he had not noticed.
