0786: [Tenacious Hawks and Self-Sacrificing Bulls Guard]

Frankly, Derrick Rose had a completely different idea than his agent.

He was worried that he would not be able to help the little duke, and even because Snoopy deliberately suppressed his desire to make a move, he would not be able to progress faster.

The two of them smell of each other's sacrifice, mutual dedication, and mutual fulfillment. This is extremely valuable in professional sports.

And Rose's agent is worried that Snoopy will steal Rose's light.

There is an essential score between the two, one is based on emotion, and the other is anxious for profit.

……

The Atlanta Hawks eventually eliminated the Orlando Magic. After paying $21 million in luxury tax this year, they finally made it to the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, but they faced the Chicago Bulls.

The Eagles have a long-standing bond with the Little Duke.

When the little duke was just starting out, he had a dispute with the Hawks' forwards, and even used the magic of 'Chinese kung fu' to bring down two Hawks players in the playoffs, and then led the team to the Eastern Conference semifinals.

This is the eternal hatred in the hearts of Atlantans.

They still talk about the summer of 2009, and if Josh Smith and Pachuglia hadn't been suspended that year, would the Hawks be the team that made it to the Finals? It might even be possible to lift the O'Brien Cup!

This year, though, they do have some... Lack of confidence.

didn't even shout the slogan 'kill the bull to reach the final', and Josh Smith, who used to be the favorite to provoke the little duke, kept a low profile and kept his mouth shut.

After all, this is not the case. Today's Snoopy has a regular season MVP in hand, and some time ago he even cut the only 60+ triple-double in history at Madison Garden to complete an epoch-making revenge performance, which is already a superstar.

In the past, Joshsmith could say that Snoopy was just a small character, but now, it is self-evident who the minor role is.

Time is so cruel.

……

The Atlanta Hawks' game against the Chicago Bulls kicked off on May 2 at the United Center arena.

As if in response to the call of the International Labor Day just past, both teams showed amazing physical strength, rolled up their sleeves and worked hard, and kept smashing the basket...... One by one, we steelworkers have power!

So, at halftime David Stern was at the MVP award ceremony. The score of the two teams was even only 45:46.

That's a far cry from the Bulls' 1340 percent performance in the first round of the playoffs.

Compared with the New York Knicks' poor lineup that can't even make up the eight-man rotation, the Hawks can be said to be full of talent, and they have been running in for many years, and they have a tacit understanding both offensively and defensively. From Joe Johnson onwards, Al Horford, Josh Smith, Jamal Crawford, Marvin Williams, Jeff Teague, Kirksynridge, these are all players with a score of 70 or more in a 2K game. Add to that Pachulia, Jason Collins, Josh Powell and other top-level plug-and-play bench players, and Atalanta is full of talent.

"It's great to get this MVP trophy, it's just the beginning, I'll keep working hard!"

Snoopy's speech was simply the shortest acceptance speech ever.

In fact, while TNT's camera was still on the sidelines Miley Sellers, the little duke was already over, and he shook hands with David Stern before heading back to the locker room with the trophy.

The Atlanta Eagles are a tough nut to crack.

He doesn't want to waste his energy on summarizing past regular-season results.

Against the Hawks, it is difficult to win on defense alone, and offense... Tom Thibodeau has six tricks. But there's one thing that never gets through.

So, Snoopy hurried back to the locker room to discuss with his teammates.

TNT talked about Miley Sellers for about three minutes about her recent verbal altercation with Anne Hathaway.

Sellers claims that Hathaway's short hairstyle isn't sexy at all. Anne Hathaway replied that as long as Snoopy liked it.

The two were full of jealousy back and forth on Twitter.

However, compared to the previous battles, both remained polite. didn't really tear the skin, after all, they are all people in the same stick, so they have some affection.

So, TNT's Barkley talked to Kenny Smith for a while, and then returned to basketball itself.

Barkley believes there is no doubt that the Bulls will win, claiming: "Snoopy's presence will wipe out the Hawks' roster advantage, and they will only have to choose one of the two bottles of poison." ”

"The first poison is a small lineup, with Marvin, Josh, Horford's plus Joe Johnson and Jeff Teague or Crawford, and the offense is easy. Result: Snoopy, Asik, Noah, and Gibson could brush up on 300 frontcourt rebounds. ”

"The second bottle of poison is to put on a big lineup. But the result could be that with three minutes left in the first half, the Hawks finally scored their 30th point. ”

"Looks like they chose a second bottle of poison tonight."

Charles Barkley said methodically.

But Kenny Smith offers a different opinion: "I don't think it's poison. Trust me, Atlanta isn't as weak as it seems. And don't let the Bulls' slaughtering sweep of New York mean they're way ahead of the rest of the team. ”

"The series between the Hawks and the Magic has proven that they are willing to fight defense, send long men to the front court to block the interior, fight every rebound, force the Magic to shoot from a distance, and on the offensive end rely on the two scorers in the backcourt to polish the score, and play a game like 88:84, with a low score but can be won."

"The problem with the Bulls right now is that they don't have a lot of offensive routines and they don't have a strong scoring point on the inside. Boozer used all his energy to slap Snoopy's ass, and his current offensive performance, which relies on fake chest hair to be many, is simply not going to fight hard. Look at the shooting percentage he gave in the first half under the defense of Horford and even Josh Smith. ”

The only thing Thibodu could use to improve the offense was Korver, Deng's run, and Gibson's mid-range shot. Their attempt to replicate the first round of smooth cutting is unrealistic. In a high-intensity defensive environment, one more pass is one more risk. ”

"Right now, the only thing the Bulls can really rely on is a strong break from Rose and Snoopy. But there's only one basketball, and in fact they don't add up as much energy on the offensive end as Allen Iverson in 2001. ”

"This kind of 'steel defense + blue-collar group + MVP guard alone' gameplay is outdated. Alan Iverson, who played like this last time, has now even been fired from the Turkish league. ”

"Let's take a look at the Eagles. They can open up the situation with scoring on the outside, not only Joe Johnson, but also Crawford, and even Hinrich and Teague have the power to fight. ”

Kenny Smith saw it very differently than Charles Barkley.

And it sounds plausible and convincing.

However, Barkley's answer was simple: "So let's take a gamble, I think the Bulls will tackle Atlanta in six games." Are you going to bet? ”

Kenny Smith was dumbfounded.

Barkley doesn't play cards according to the routine at all, he doesn't engage in theoretical analysis, he is superstitious Snoopy, he is engaged in a cult of personality.

Can... Smith didn't dare bet.

After all, now the entire basketball community knows that Duke Dog is a freak at all, and any theory and basketball logic are not valid in him, and he seems to exist specifically for face-slapping commentators.

……

In the dressing room, Derrick Rose offered Snoopy: "Or, I'll play less in the second half." ”

He knows that he and Dugg have some overlap in terms of style of play, and Snoopy is able to link up better when he is in possession. Although he is brave, he still follows Iverson's old path, focusing on finishing attacks. Snoopy, on the other hand, can both finish under the basket and feed the basketball to teammates with better chances halfway through.

"What do you want?"

Snoopy gave Derek Rose a blank look. In the past two days of contact, he found that Rose was always saying pessimistic remarks, as if he had become a burden to himself. He didn't want Rose to think that, and he told Rose seriously: This is our team, understand? We!

Snoopy's tone was extremely serious.

He then began to discuss offensive strategy with the coaching staff.

After some discussion, the little duke returned to the fourth position.

The other four players in the new squad are: Derrick Rose, Lore Deng, Tygibson and Joakin Noah.

……

Al Horford really doesn't like the feeling of playing against Snoopy, he is a very dignified and dignified interior defender, and an excellent mid-range tall pitcher.

But when facing Snoopy, he always felt that his major was wrong.

How can there be a reason for a height of 208 against 191?

But when facing this small defender, he couldn't get half a point. When rushing for rebounds, he couldn't shake his turf at all, and could only watch him squeeze himself out of the box.

On the offensive end, he has to keep his heartstrings tight, shoot faster than he can against a seven-foot tall man, and try to play with his back to the singles.

But even so, the hit rate has decreased due to high-intensity confrontations.

The saddest thing is on the defensive end, this guy is in the paint zone, but he always has to go to the free throw line to cover for Derek. You follow up and Rose goes straight to the basket.

Don't follow up, Rose splits the ball. He either lays a ball to the basket or plays a mid-range assistant defender before passing to assist Lore Deng and Tygibson for a mismatch.

He was like a steel nail that stuck seven inches into the Eagles, making all the Eagles players uncomfortable.

And the most odious thing is.

The two teams were anxiously playing the third quarter, just entering the fourth quarter. He went around the corner with a baseline counterrun and hit a three-pointer from Tygibson on the spot, and then assisted the new Korver for a three-pointer.

These two three points became the key to changing the situation.

Although the Hawks' Crawford and Joe Johnson won back-to-back games on the outside, the Bulls always responded in an orderly manner.

One of the most critical is Snoopy, who is working in the paint zone.

He seems to be a point forward, and he directs the runs in the depths of the box. It forms a strong echo with Derrick Rose, who launched from the top of the arc.

In a situation where the Eagles had to throw Crawford to step up the scoring, he caught a number of misplaced opportunities.

Because, Crawford's defensive ability as the best sixth man is indeed indescribably weak.

92:86。

When the final whistle blew, the Hawks still couldn't recover the two three-pointers they had made at the start of the fourth quarter.

Snoopy raised his hands in the cheers of the sky, and with 16 points, 14 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 blocks and 1 steal in this game, he can be said to be the biggest guarantee for the Bulls to win.

After the game, Charles Barkley did not forget to tease Kenny Smith: "You are right, but Snoopy is not in the range." ”

Smith shrugged his shoulders, he was used to it.

Still, he said: "Do you think Snoopy is going to stay in the paint zone all the time?" ”

"And, if Horford has a better hand tonight, the Bulls might not win. Putting Snoopy, who is 191 tall, in the box is not the best option. ”

Barkley raised an eyebrow. He didn't respond.
