0431: [The arrival of the 09-10 season rumble]
On September 19th, when Kobe Bryant said to the Los Angeles media, 'Snoopy is fully loaded, and while I'm not sure if he's learned the full mamba technique, I'm sure he's got the full mamba spirit!' Wait and see, he'll be on a killing spree in the new season! By then, Dugg had arrived at New York's JFK Airport.
For Knicks fans, Bryant's words have undoubtedly boosted their confidence in the new season. Although they have been worried about the inseparability of Dugg and the Black Mamba, they are afraid that Dug will be traded to Los Angeles. But now, hearing the news about Duge's improvement in Kobe's mouth is still shocking. After all, what comes out of Kobe Bryant's mouth is still much more credible than O'Neal, Barkley and the like.
Chinese fans are also excited.
In China, Kobe Bryant is the third most popular player, and of course, the person who hacked him could be the tallest in the world.
But in any case, hearing the words of affirmation from his mouth, everyone still has more expectations for Dug's performance in the new season. This summer, Chinese fans can be said to be heartbroken. First of all, Yao Shu suffered the most serious injury of his career, and the injury situation is extremely unoptimistic, and he is very likely to withdraw from all the national team competitions in the future.
Secondly, the Chinese national team lost at home. The Chinese team, who lost Yao, suffered a humiliating defeat in Wuhan when they were slaughtered by the Iranians. There was even a snickering scandal on the podium, all of which made Chinese fans angry and humiliated.
And Dugg became almost their only hope.
When he stayed away from the basketball press for almost the entire offseason, he finally heard the exact news, and it was still an affirmation from Kobe Bryant, which made them how not to boil over.
It's worth mentioning, though.
Kobe Bryant's affirmation did not make fans of other NBA teams take it seriously, and almost 80 percent of the voices on the fan forum were ridiculed: Mamba spirit? Oh God. If the Mamba spirit is single-minded, then the Knicks will definitely have a disastrous season.
While making a lot of fun on the Internet, Kobe Bryant spoke again, and he talked about his friendship with Snoopy in an exclusive interview with ESPN.
"I like him very much, he's not a talkative person, but he always finds the point in the conversation and analyzes it accurately. He made our communication incredibly efficient, something I've never had with other basketball players. He's also the only player who can agree with me on the intensity of training and I appreciate his approach to training. ”
"This has led to the fact that he has unknowingly learned a lot from me this summer in terms of game experience and attacking skills. Especially in the technique of the wings back singles. ”
When asked about Dug's scoring stats for the new season after learning offensive skills, Kobe Bryant said in the affirmative: "If he insists on making 20 shots per game, I think he has a chance to average 16 points per game." Kobe Bryant said: "Of course, my advice is that he averages 30 shots per game. You know, he's been trained in systematic basketball for a very short time, and he's got very little game experience. He needs to look for an attacking feel from the game and train in battle, which is the best way to improve. ”
The presenter, McBlin, who was sitting across from him, was dumbfounded.
Subsequently, this passage also became widely reproduced in the basketball media, because it sounded a bit sensational: Kobe Bryant advised Snoopy to take an average of 30 shots per game!!
And the focus of the discussion among fans is: only 16 points on 20 shots?
This sparked ridicule.
"30 shots per game? This is indeed the spirit of Mamba! Bryant was as honest as ever. It's like when he claimed that Shaq did it too. ”
"If he averages 16 points on 20 shots per game, I'm sure Snoopy will be traded mid-season. But... The Lakers will definitely not take over, because the Staples repairmen are bound to quit en masse. They can't afford to accept the destruction of the basket by two mambas at the same time, which doubles their workload. However, Jerebus will certainly not give them a raise. ”
"The Lakers are one of the oldest teams in the league, and they are better than any other team at destroying potential threats. Lo and behold, it took them just one offseason to destroy the core players of their Finals opponents. ”
"Oh. No. Maybe this is just the Lakers' way of lowering the price, after all, they traded Kwame Brown to Pau Gasol's team. Maybe in this kind of operation, it will only take one Jordan Farmar to trade Snoopy back to Los Angeles...... They're all UCLA players anyway, aren't they? ”
“……”
The sarcasm on the Internet roared like thunder.
Dugg didn't bother to pay attention to it.
He held his first ticketed concert at the New Yankee Stadium, which Britney's team did. In fact, the concert team is all from Britney, and Britney is also present as a guest.
When she learned that Dugg had spent $1.2 billion to buy a stake in an Internet company from a newspaper company called South Africa, she was saddled with huge debts. As the Duke's sister, she single-handedly manipulated and facilitated the affair after Doog rejected her check.
The concert broke the box office record for a single concert in the United States in 2009.
Dugg earned nearly $1.2 million.
After the concert, Britney tried to persuade Dugg to go on a global tour, and they both saw the potential in Dugg and thought she could become a global superstar like Michael Jackson.
But Duge knows that his musical talent comes from a gift from God, and he should grasp the talent on the court...... Because it's something that is real to itself. And those songs that have excited fans around the world and broken records one after another do not come from their own accumulation, but 'suddenly'.
So, he went to the Knicks' training camp the day after the concert.
At this time, none of the Knicks' guaranteed contract players have arrived, they are still on a happy vacation, and the Knicks' training camp officially opens on October 1. Right now, a bunch of fringe players who don't have formal contracts, or who only sign two-way contracts and training camp contracts, are tryouting.
When Dugg walked into the training hall, all these fringe players were stunned.
They didn't expect the star to show up at training camp today and look at his size, and he definitely didn't practice less in Los Angeles.
Dugg also showed an unbelievable affinity that made them feel unbelievable, he walked over to high-five everyone and told them to cheer: "We still have four spots open on the Knicks roster, and you have a great chance to get into it." ”
Then, after warming up, he shouted to this side: "Hey, guys. I need a shooting guard to be a sparring partner and raise your right hand if you want to. ”
A guy named Wesley Matthews stood up.
Dugg nodded: "I've watched your summer games, and you've done very well. ”
Matthews was the undrafted pick this year, and he wasn't drafted by any team. But this summer, he received training camp contracts from two teams, the Utah Jazz and the New York Knicks.
He chose New York almost without any hesitation.
First of all, the Knicks seem to have more chances, secondly, New York is a megacity, and finally...
"I'm actually your fan."
Matthews told Duge.
Dugg nodded: "Then you have to be more focused, I'm very my fans." If you don't play to my satisfaction, I'll even say bad things about you on the management's side, understand? ”
"Understood!"
The senior from Marquette University has a loud voice and is as strong as an ox.
Dugg called the assistant coach over and he began to hone his back-to-back skills on the wings.
Matthews is stronger than expected, and at 195 he weighs more than 100 kilograms. Also, he didn't give Dug any face, he was very tough defensively, he was very aggressive in hitting Dug and putting pressure on him.
To be honest, his power surpassed that of Kobe Bryant, which made it difficult for Duge, who could not control all his power to use in sports warfare.
However, Matthews is still somewhat lacking in defensive experience.
Thereupon... Knicks head coach Herb Williams, who rushed to hear the news, saw a move that made him can't help but raise his hands to cheer, Dugg used a quick shoulder shake to shake Matthews's attention, and then took a relaxing step, his body slid like a loach to flash his left side, and then jumped to the ...... Bang!
Although the basketball didn't go in.
But this back-to-back technique had already excited Herb Williams as if he had drunk two bottles of wine, and he shouted from the sidelines: "Snoopy, you will definitely play a more important role on the offensive end in the new season." ”
Dugg just smiled at him.
Subsequently, Matthews learned from his experience.
He began to regain some of his strength, focusing on Duge's feet.
However, he was still confused by the shoulder movements, and Dug used a continuous counterclockwise, clockwise rotation to get rid of the defense and step back to make a jumper, which was very difficult, but ...... The ball is in!
By this time, the entire Knicks coaching team had realized that their team leaders were becoming offensive players, a standard move for superstars. Although the fluency seems to be quite far from Kobe, Jordan and even Stackhouse, at least it is much better than last season.
Snoopy practiced with Matthews all morning.
Then in the afternoon, Dugg played another full-court drill with the group.
In 20 minutes, he had 14 points, 5 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 blocks, and his strength was outstanding among this group of fringe players, dominating the game from three aspects: defense, playmaking and even offense.
That's not Dugg's biggest takeaway, though. His biggest takeaway was that he found that this Matthews was truly extraordinary.
"He's a real sleeper!"
He told Herb Williams: "You should go and talk to Downey that Matthews is worth a first-round contract. He's very strong, extremely aggressive defensively, and a three-point shooter who doesn't possess the ball. He can fill the No. 2 position. ”
Duge's words quickly reached Donnie Walsh's ears, and Donnie Walsh inspected Matthews the next day with Isaiah Thomas. He was then signed to a two-year, $1.8 million contract.
Dugg sighed when he learned it was a two-year contract. He thinks Donnie Walsh will definitely regret the contract, as Matthews feels better than Quentin Richardson, who earned nearly 10 million a year here last season.
But, anyway, he was left behind.
Time flies, and the New York Knicks' training camp finally officially starts on October 1.
