Although Dug and Zach Randolph played a jaw-dropping tactical combination in the second quarter and led the team to a certain advantage.

But D'Antoni still didn't continue that style of play in the third quarter, even though Zach Randolph was on the court at the same time as Dug. However, D'Antoni gave Dug a position of No. 3 and the ball remained firmly in the hands of Chris Dujon. Also on the field were Jamal Crawford and David Lee.

On paper, this is the Knicks' strongest lineup.

D'Antoni encouraged Dug before he came on the court, and he hoped that Dug could play the role of Boris Dio in the Suns on the offensive end.

D'Antoni's mind is still imprisoned in his former glory, and he is still obsessively looking for a replacement for Nash, a replacement for Stoudemire, a replacement for Sean Marion, .......

This gave Duge a headache.

He knows what he's capable of, and he doesn't think he's up to the position of small forward right now. Small forwards are steal divisions, arrows used to tear apart the opposition's defense head-on

And Dugg doesn't think he can defend Rudy Gay now, although he has improved his footwork, but after all, he is facing a traditional small forward who is a trio of sudden passes and shots.

Backbite!

The whistle blows and the game continues.

Dugg still stood in front of Rudy Gay according to the tactical rules, and at this time, Chris Dujon came to the front court with the ball.

Although in the tactics laid out by D'Antoni, Dug was the second transit point. But instead of passing the ball to Dug, Dujon threw it to Jamal Crawford.

Crawford is a very good fighter for chaos, he is a member of the 60-point club, and his scoring ability is unquestionable. But... He doesn't have a system in his eyes, when he's on the pitch, he's tactical.

Bang!

His forced shot in front of O.J. Mayo hits the iron.

Dugg tried to rush into the box to grab a rebound, but... David Lee and Zach Randolph are not good at card slots, and the other is unwilling to play slots. So, Dug's rush turned into uselessness, and Marc Gasol easily held the rebound.

When the basketball was in McConley's hands, Dugg glanced back at D'Antoni.

He felt like he was in the wrong position.

But the problem that D'Antoni was thinking about at this time was how to get Dug familiar with the playing style of all the players as soon as possible and better integrate into the team.

However, he overlooked one thing. Dugg has won the championship and is still MOP. Even though he was good for nothing but rebounds and blocks at the time, he knew when to be in which position, and he always did things with his strengths and weaknesses. So he's always got unexpected wins, and he's a player who walks on the pitch and tries to win.

Therefore, there is a natural difference between the two from the starting point.

Back in the half, Rudy Gay singled Dugg with the ball.

Honestly, this is the first time in Dug's career that he has faced this kind of 'all-around' small forward attack one-on-one.

Dugg is not afraid of Paul Pierce, Cameron Anthony.

But this kind of number one attacker who flies away and has comprehensive skills, he doesn't have any bottom in his heart.

Rudy Gay received the basketball, he didn't take the slightest tentative step, he just strode inside. Dugg stepped back and his pace was much better than he had been at the beginning of the season. But it was still a bit difficult to face Rudy Gay, who was taller, after all, his coordination was still a big problem.

Then, Rudy Gay made a sharp stop to change direction, then burst again, and finally used a Jordan-esque step back.

In this series of combination punches, Duge's center of gravity is a little disorganized.

So, by the time Rudy Gay had his final shot, his defense couldn't expand any longer.

Swish!

Rudy Gay hits the shot.

Dugg shook his head.

He is not afraid of the kind of strikers who use their IQ to compete with him, such as Pierce and Anthony. But at present, he is afraid of players who will ignore it and use their physical fitness directly. And on top of that, Rudy Gay is taller than him and has a higher shot point, which makes him have to dance along.

"It seems... The Heat didn't trade Snoopy's instruction manual to New York. Charles Barkley joked with a smile: "With Snoopy's coordination now, his speed can't keep up with Rudy Guy in big moves." And Rudy Gay is ten centimeters taller than him and has a longer arm span. This is not a sitting fight in the penalty area, but a moving play on the periphery, and the advantage will be infinitely magnified. ”

"It's not about the manual, it's about D'Antoni's tactical arrangement." Earl Johnson said: "Even the fans can see how well Snoopy and Randolph fit well in the second quarter. ”

"Oh no. You have to remember what Isaiah Thomas said three days ago, that he brought Snoopy to New York to make him the cornerstone of his team. It's something he has to solve, and he's got to push himself to improve faster. Kenny Smith put it in a different light: "I don't think D'Antoni made the wrong decision. ”

As Kenny Smith said, Isaiah Thomas was also in trouble at this time.

If Snoopy is to become a superstar who leads the Knicks out of the quagmire, the hurdles in front of him are the ones he must face. He's got to find his way to score and he's got to be solid with his offensive output. And, on the defensive end, you can't afford to play against talented forwards.

He's made up his mind, he's going to make a trip to Miami. He wanted to get some information from the trainers in Miami and from Pat Riley about how to make Snoopy improve by leaps and bounds...... This is the instruction manual that the Knicks need to get their hands on urgently.

The game goes on.

Because Chris Dujon rarely passes the ball to Dug, this made Dug a mediocre performance in the third quarter. No scores, no rebounds, just 1 assist.

"Snoopy has to get back into the point guard position."

Zach Randolph made a fuss on the bench.

He also had a terrible third quarter, with only three offensive rebounds and four points. Three of those rebounds were picked up in the same round. When it comes to throwing and grabbing frontcourt rebounds, Zach Randolph can even pat his chest and say, I sit second in the whole league, and I don't dare to call it first. This is his unique talent and the main reason why he is called the Data Brush.

D'Antoni is actually aware of Chris Dujon's mediocrity and Crawford's obstinacy.

But he didn't like Zach Randolph's commanding posture.

"It's a coaching team thing."

He turned around coldly and then set up a rotational lineup: Nate Robinson, Quentin Richardson, Wilt Chandler, Gallinari, David Lee took the stage.

He pinned Chris Dujon, Jamal Crawford, Zach Randolph and Dugg all on the bench at once.

While it was customary to use the rotation to rest the main players early in the fourth quarter, such a drastic adjustment still seemed deliberate, a bit like a frustration.

Zach Randolph is clearly not a man who can capture the manager's emotions very well, and he still chatters on the bench. And try to give Chris Dujon a little bit of color, according to him, Chris Dujon missed at least three chances to give him a great pass.

While Zach Randolph was spewing foul language to create chaos within the team, Eddie Curry, who was sitting behind the bench, also kept provoking: "Yes, Chris's passing vision is terrible." He doesn't know how to get along with us big players......"

Jerome James expressed his support for all of Randolph's actions.

Three big fat men form an alliance and chatter. As if a disagreement was about to shove poor Chris Dujon into the trash.

This made D'Antoni's eyes full of murder, in essence, Chris Dujon was brought by him, and he and Gallinari are absolute relatives of D'Antoni. Isn't this a slap in the face for these three fat men to claim that they want to use non-basketball methods to clean up Du Hong?

Duge next to him couldn't help but cover his head, shake his head and sigh.

The Knicks' interior atmosphere is really bad enough.

Meanwhile, OJ Mayo, who led the rotation on the court, finally scored his second game of the game, using a crossover to get past Richardson's defense and shoot straight from beyond the three-point line...... Swish!

The basketball was caught.

Then, he haughtily hooked his finger at Dugg and made a disdainful expression.

As soon as he made this move, Zach Randolph, who was already angry, smashed the water glass in his hand, stood up with a pout, and glared at OJ Mayo with a meaty face.

Then, Jerome James and Eddie Curry behind him also stood up.

Three big fat men with black pasty, and the two in the back are particularly neat suits. It looks solemn and solemn, completely New York gangster!

The referee's gaze quickly swept over, and he was hesitant to give the three men a technical foul.

Fortunately, at this time, OJ Mayo ran away quickly.

"We have to come together." Zach Randolph turned around and told Dug: "We're going to form our own team culture, you know?" We have to learn from the Detroit Pistons back then, that is the team that can make Michael Jordan suffer!! ”

Dugg frowned, he didn't know how to answer. He saw that D'Antoni's face was getting worse and worse, and it was clear that he didn't want to be too close to Zach Randolph.

However, they helped themselves after all.

"Thank you." Dugg smiled and nodded to Zach Randolph, then turned his back and slapped his hands with Eddie Curry and Jerome James.

When he turned around, he saw Isaiah Thomas on the other side smiling at him.

His smile was meaningful.

This made Dugg suddenly realize: Could it all be Thomas's handiwork? Was it he who asked Zach Randolph to pull me into their group?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this conjecture was correct, after all, he had no friendship with Randolph before, and as soon as he met, he said things like a natural pair, and he kept standing up for himself, and claimed to establish a piston culture...... Wasn't Isaiah Thomas the leader of the Bad Boy Legion back then?

But am I a good boy?

Dugg never wanted to associate himself with a bad boy!

At this moment, another smug whistle came from the stadium.

O.J. Mayo made a foul on David Lee in the paint zone, and he will go to the free throw line to make two free throws.

"I've got to play!"

Dugg stood up at the time, he couldn't tolerate any bright performance from OJ Mayo tonight, and he had to sanction him.

Therefore, his tone is non-negotiable.

D'Antoni looked at this newcomer in surprise, he thought for a moment, and then nodded: "Replace Nate Robinson." ”

As he walked to the tech desk.

Isaiah Thomas and Zach Randolph exchanged glances, and they nodded knowingly, reaching a consensus: Snoopy is indeed a bad boy!

But the understanding of the two is still slightly different. Zach Randolph's understanding is more inclined to Snoopy as a 'bad guy' who will be avenged. And what Isaiah Thomas values is his exuberant fighting spirit that refuses to admit defeat.
