When Snoopy slapped Mayo's shot into the 10th row of the audience from beyond the three-point line, he roared violently.

Isaiah Thomas, who was sitting on the sidelines, was even worried that Snoopy would fight his opponent in this match.

And James Dolan, who was sitting next to him, was also a little worried: "Is Snoopy a little too grumpy?" ”

"No, this kid was forced by the New York media. Also, before the game, OJ Mayo said a lot of disrespectful things about him. Isaiah Thomas quickly explained: "Young players have to be a little bit of a fire in order to be motivated. ”

James Dolan nodded.

Madison Garden also opened its hearts with two consecutive blocks, and the cheers that poured into Snoopy were like big waves.

"Spoken language experts have translated what O.J. Mayo said, and J.J.M.'s lip shape suggests that he most likely used racist words against Snoopy." Earl Johnson looked at Snoopy, who extended his defensive circle beyond the three-point line, and said, "That's why Snoopy is so targeting OJ Mayo tonight." ”

"If I were Snoopy, I'd definitely smash his head with my fist or whatever I could grab when I heard that discrimination. I swear, I'm not limited by the occasion, place, and time. Charles Barkley said angrily.

"But what's the difference between you and the thugs? I think Snoopy is doing a great job of dealing with it now, and what happens on the court, it's going to be solved with basketball. Cover him ten, or score 30 points on his head. That's what a mature man does. Earl Johnson said: "After tonight, OJ Mayo will definitely be the target of public criticism. He offended not only Snoopy alone, but the second-largest market in the NBA. ”

The game goes on.

Snoopy is still on the defensive end. The fluffy Knicks' perimeter defense gave him a chance to brush the block, whether it was Darrell Arthur, or McConley, or OJ Mayo, as long as they broke in, if there was no pass, more than 60% of the probability was interfered with or blocked, and the number of points scored was only a handful.

However, even if Dugg made the paint area a no-fly zone. But that didn't fundamentally change the Knicks' decline on the defensive end. Because the Grizzlies' outside group finally realized that the perimeter was a safe haven for them to show their strength after their noses and faces were swollen in the paint area.

Tonight, he felt pretty good. Even Darrell Arthur pulled from beyond the three-point line and hit a three-pointer.

On the Knicks' side, their offense is disjointed and disorderly. Chris Dujon has no organizational flair at all, he only knows how to give the ball to the team's only offensive strong point in the fast-break rhythm, but Jamal Crawford is not a consistent scorer. He needs inspiration, he's a convulsive type.

Dugg tried to play solo with the ball in the second half of the first quarter, but Milicic gave him unexpected foot movement and defense. Coupled with the poor connection with his teammates, the two attacks failed to open up the situation.

So, at the end of the first section.

35:29。

The Grizzlies, who are playing on the road, lead by six points.

The difference clearly didn't hurt anyone's pride, including the fans at Madison Garden: they had long been accustomed to such points, and losing had become a given.

However, Dugg couldn't stand it.

Especially when OJ Mayo deliberately dropped the phrase 'sorry, it belongs to me outside the three-point line' when he left the game, his fists were clenched and gurgling.

He walked to the bench with a blushing face.

"The Knicks' outside player actually allowed the Memphis Grizzlies to hit 7 three-pointers in a single quarter?" Earl Johnson slammed in the commentary box: "D'Antoni's indifference to defense has become unbearable. Actually, Stephen Marbury. Jeffries and Wilt Chandler are both qualified perimeter defenders. But why wouldn't he use it? ”

"Why aren't the Knicks considering co-coaching Isaiah Thomas with D'Antoni? Although Thomas has a bad character, he is indeed a rare good coach defensively. Charles Barkley, who has fought the Bad Boys many times in his career, still gives Isaiah Thomas respect when it comes to defense.

When the two started a discussion about the Knicks' defense.

Dugg walked straight up to D'Antoni, who was explaining the next tactical play to Chris Duhon.

"Coach, I want to play point guard." Dugg said to D'Antoni seriously.

D'Antoni had no ill feelings towards Duge, although he had an extreme dislike for Isaiah Thomas.

"But can you keep up with McConley? He is extremely good at getting rid of the defense on the perimeter and going straight into the box. 'D'Antoni finally talked about the defensive issues.

This gave Dugg a sense of dark humor.

D'Antoni was quick to announce the rotation for the second quarter.

Nate Robinson, Quentin Richardson, Wilt Chandler, Dugg and Zach Randolph.

Before coming on the pitch, D'Antoni encouraged Dug: "Tonight, you did very well in the paint. I was extremely impressed with your control of the rebounds, as well as the protection of the basket. Next... I'll try to get Nate Robinson to play a pick-and-roll with you. I'm sure with your bouncing abilities, you'll be the next Stoudemire. ”

Dugg rubbed his temples.

Being the next Stoudemire wasn't his goal. In Miami, he was already in control of the team's tempo. Now in New York, he's here with the goal of becoming a superstar. Therefore, he could not follow D'Antoni's command.

He decided to do something on his own.

And when the whistle blew and he walked onto the court, Zach Randolph suddenly grabbed him by the neck from behind: "Listen, don't be limited by D'Antoni's arrangement, he has not discovered your true talent at all." You're a point guard in my mind. ”

Dugg looked up, and he looked at Randolph in surprise.

"I'll help you get Nate Robinson, and then you can use your point guard talent to the fullest."

Randolph whistled, and with a snap of his finger, Nate Robinson quickly ran to him. Then, Randolph was very direct in his black tone and ordered Nate Robinson to give up possession.

Nate Robinson obviously did not dare to resist Randolph's orders, although he was also a famous thorn, but his status was undoubtedly much smaller than that of Randolph, who dared to fly leaves and drive pickup trucks and memorial services in nightclubs.

Moreover, Randolph also promised him on behalf of Duge: "Don't worry, as long as you run out of the empty seat." Snoopy will definitely give you a pass. It's a lot more efficient than if you were to run around with the ball yourself. ”

Nate Robinson, under coercion and temptation, agreed to the letter with suspicion.

Then, the referee blew the whistle. Randolph sent the basketball directly to Dug.

D'Antoni on the sidelines was surprised and angry when he saw Dug moving forward with the ball...... He doesn't like players to go against his tactical ideas.

At this time, when Dugg suddenly came to the three-point line with the ball, the Grizzlies' defense also seemed a little sluggish. Point guard Jarric hesitated for a moment and then ran to track Nate Robinson. Small forward Rudy Gay followed in the footsteps of Quentin Richardson, while power forward Varick was very quick to keep up with Chandler. The remainder of Marc Gasol had intimate and friendly physical contact with Zach Randolph inside the box.

"Come on, it's you."

Duge held out his right hand to O.J. Mayo and hooked his index finger.

This action turned Madison Garden into a boiling kettle in an instant, and the entire arena was noisy.

Although many people didn't know about OJ Mayo's open-mouthed words in the first quarter, everyone knew that he was deliberately targeting before the game.

And now, Dugg is standing in front of him with the ball.

Even though New York fans didn't like the deal, Snoopy is a Knicks player after all, so a large part of it is still on Dug's side, and they all want Snoopy to score this goal to prove that he is not a role player... In this way, at least the three first-round picks that the Knicks sold are not so obvious!

However, instead of taking a step forward, OJ Maio stepped back inside the three-point line.

He had a disdainful smile on his face: "Do you think I'm going to be as idiotic as the other defenders?" I've said a long time ago that the three-point line isn't your turf. As a role player, you have to be a role player. ”

He was still on his toes, even though he had two hot blocks from Dugg in the first quarter.

Dugg looked at the triumphant OJ Mayo, couldn't help but shake his head, and then, he quickly took a step back, freeing up a distance of nearly two meters and five. And in OJ Mayo still didn't care, he looked at Dug motionlessly, as if he was looking at a clown.

He didn't think Dugg would be able to throw in a three-pointer.

However...... At this point, Dugg had already made a quick shot, and he was on the spot.

Oj Mayo thought it was a pass, and he didn't even pounce forward until he looked back...... Swish!

The basketball falls into the basket with unmistakable accuracy.

Suddenly, Madison Garden was filled with cheers.

The DJs on the scene also began to shout in a long voice: SNOPPY-du! du!du!du!！！

O.J. Mayo turned his head in disbelief.

"It's a shame that I'm still on stage beyond the three-point line."

Duge left these words indifferently and walked to the front.

O.J. Mayo apparently didn't pay attention to the game three days ago, and in Oklahoma, Dugg had already found the key to his three-point shot. Arrogance blinded him.

Then, Rudy Gay received a pass from Jaric from outside the three-point line, and he quickly rushed to the free throw line, and when Dugg moved his foot, he took a pull-up jump shot. However...... Bang!

The basketball didn't make it to the Nets as he had hoped.

Duge ran into the paint, and he pinpointedly blocked Marc Gasol's rush position. Zach Randolph easily picked up the rebound, and then he turned and handed the ball to Dug. The two have a lot of tacit understanding, and it doesn't look like it's the first time they've played at all.

"Zach likes to brush rebounds, Snoopy likes to get stuck. Zach is able to switch between the backframe and the back frame at any time in the paint area, and the only downside is his low offensive efficiency. But Snoopy is good at attacking and has the ability to keep his teammates open, which will greatly enhance Randolph's offensive efficiency. So... They definitely have a 1+1 greater than 2 effect. ”

Isaiah Thomas analyzed very seriously in James Dolan's ear.

James Dolan nodded in response. He felt there was some truth to it.

At the same time, Dugg came up front again with the ball, and he held out his finger to OJ Mayo again.

"Snoopy is a bit fierce." James Dolan said to Isaiah Thomas next to him.

At this point, more than 80 percent of the stadium's fans stood up, and the celebrities on the sidelines also stood up in anticipation of Dugg's performance, especially the Taylor Swift trio, who cheered and even walked around the court three times if they had a pair of Victoria's Secret wings.

"It's the way he has to go to become an elite player. If Snoopy can hit the basketball in the head of OJ Mayo for two consecutive rounds, then his popularity in New York will quickly climb. Isaiah Thomas said: "Looking back, we haven't had a star in New York for many years. ”

He didn't think there was anything wrong with Dugg's behavior.

At this time, Donnie Walsh behind him said slowly: "But... Can Snoopy really score two basketball in a row? If he doesn't hit this time. Then the whole field will be cold because of this, and the morale will plummet! ”

He is telling the truth.

At any given time, failing the expectations of the fans is a demoralizing affair.

At this point, OJ Mayo was no longer giving Dugg an easy shot, and he narrowed his defensive distance. He was standing a meter in front of Dugg.

This is the consequence of his deliberations, as he calculates his athletic reflexes, as well as estimates of how fast Doog will be able to break through.

He was sure that it was a safe distance.

And at this point, Dugg buried his head, he started to dribble, and he was ready to do it in one fell swoop!

This ball is crucial for him and he has a reason to hit it.
