Two Hundred and Thirty-One: Knicks Locker Room

D'Antoni got Doug's physical report the next morning, when he was preparing for tonight's back-to-back game. When he took the physical test sheet, he didn't intend to let Doug play in tonight's game. Although now the whole of New York City is looking forward to the kid's debut.

Moreover, he also saw OJ Mayo's unbridled remarks on TV: Many people are expecting Snoopy to give back on the court.

The No. 3 pick in 2008 spent most of last summer in New York, and he and his team maintained close ties with D'Antoni and even Donnie Walsh. At that time, the two sides established a very good relationship, and even D'Antoni thought about initiating a deal upwards to get OJ Mayo.

But in the end I gave up for various reasons.

This has become a regret in OJ Mayo's heart. In fact, he's pretty happy with his draft pick. But he was very dissatisfied with the city of Minnesota he had chosen: it was a commercial desert.

He was then sent to Memphis, Tennessee. But it wasn't any better than Minnesota, and he still yearned for the big cities.

Both he and his team hope to make a big splash in business.

And yet... as it stands now, even though he's putting up close to 20 stats almost every night. But when people discuss the best rookie, he still will not be included in the key inspections, because Derrick Rose is too eye-catching, and he has become the absolute leader of Chicago.

And OJ Mayo is still competing with Rudy Gay for possession of the ball, and even bears the infamy of "data brush".

In contrast, Mayo believes that Snoopy is the real data brush.

However, Snoopy has been proud of himself recently, not only because of his scandal with a girl idol, he grabbed the news page, but also successfully entered the NBA All-Star voting channel and became the top voter. Recently, he was traded to the number one city in the world: New York.

With the release of the 2008 sports income rankings, Doug ranked 39th in the global athlete rankings, which made OJ Mayo's jealousy burst.

Therefore, when he was asked by a New York reporter what he thought of Snoopy, the depression and jealousy in his heart quickly occupied his cerebral cortex.

"While it's rude to say that, he's clearly overrated. He's not worth the precious three first-round picks you guys have. Get a lot of beautiful data, such as a triple-double or a quadruple-double. But in fact he has no control over the game at all, and he will never be able to take over the game at the critical moment and make the final decision."

"The Knicks need a potential player who can become a superstar, not a role player who can become a top support."

OJ Mayo gave him a lot of rhetoric in the interview. Taken together, his point of view can be refined into: Doug has no scoring ability, and he needs the assistance of his teammates. If the Heat didn't have a group of tall shooters, Beasley, and Dwyane Wade, he would be nothing.

In fact, this is also the focus of discussions among basketball commentators. In their view, Doug did play some high-profile games in Miami, but ... the Knicks' staffing is completely different from the Heat. There are not many long-line shooters here, and there are mountains of fat in the penalty area, and ... A low-efficiency forward and guard swingman who mainly sticks to the ball, coupled with the team's non-defensive style. Whether Snoopy can survive in the Knicks is a question.

"Um……."

D'Antoni stared at Doug's physicals for ten minutes, then told his assistant coach, "Let Snoopy play center tonight."

"But...will Zach be happy?"

Before the assistant coach finished speaking, D'Antoni waved his hand: "Don't care about his remarks, he has been put on the trading counter by me, if it wasn't for the sudden return of Isaiah Thomas, he would have put on the Los Angeles Clippers jersey."

D'Antoni doesn't have a good look at these problem players left over from the Thomas era.

He was already tired of the smog and foul language in the locker room.

At this time, Doug was walking into the luxurious home locker room of Madison Garden for the first time with his bag on his back.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zach Randolph sitting on the carpet with the Knicks LOGO in the center of the venue, concentrating on making hand-rolled cigarettes with a cigarette rolling machine.

Later, he saw four young players, David Lee, Nate Robinson, Wilt Chandler, and Gallinari, whispering in the corner of the locker room about the upcoming road trip. The three suit members, Eddy Curry, Jerome James, and Stephen Marbury, sat on the other side with a big horse.

Marbury looked a little withdrawn, as if he didn't care about anything. Even when we met for the first time, it could be seen that the former absolute leader of the Knicks was losing his control. Eddie Curry on the side talked with Jerome James about the wonderful encounter in Atlanta last weekend. When they talked about the excitement, they even stood up and compared the moves of the latecomers. And Nate Robinson would scurry around at the right moment, making his point and his gestures. The little guy looked like an active part of the team.

Compared with the players on both sides, Chris Duhon, Jamal Crawford, Jared Jeffries, Quentin Richardson and others sitting in the middle positions look proud.

While Doug was trying to say hello and introduce himself to his new teammates, Zach Randolph suddenly stood up: "Hey, rookie! Would you like a cigarette?"

His words made everyone look towards the center of the field.

Duge politely extended his hand to refuse, and said with a smile: "No, thank you. I don't smoke. However, if you like smoking, I can bring you some Chinese tobacco."

Snoopy's movements and demeanor were very decent and just right, he didn't mean to dodge or resist at all.

This made Randolph feel respected.

Usually, no one except the addict will take anything that needs to use the airway from his hand.

Although Duge didn't answer it either, he could feel that he really didn't smoke, not the kind of attitude towards the 'scourge'.

"Of course, if there is good tobacco, I will definitely not refuse." Randolph grinned, and then he stood up: "However, I want to know your breast size more."

Du Ge didn't avoid his tobacco like a tiger, but when he said this, Du Ge quickly took a step back subconsciously.

He knows that there are many gays hidden in the NBA locker room, and he does not discriminate against these people.

But he also didn't want to have any intimate contact with these people.

Watching Doug back away and dodge.

Randolph laughed. He raised his eyebrows and said, "I think you must have got something wrong. I was just wondering what size would break the bridge of the Pole's Gortat's nose."

Doug let out a sigh of relief. But after thinking about it, my previous worries were indeed a bit unnecessary. How could a man like Randolph, who was greasy, ugly, fat and without a neat beard, be gay?

"Actually, mine is not small. We are the same kind of people." Randolph sat next to Doug, and he looked very enthusiastic.

He began to take the initiative to talk to Doug about his genitals, as well as his familiarity with women's physiological structure and the equation of love mechanics: He forced himself and Doug to be classified as the most beloved man by all American women.

Duge was embarrassed to hear it, and his scalp was numb.

Then D'Antoni walked in.

He looked at Randolph who was chatting vigorously in front of Doug very strangely. He didn't know how a street hooligan could talk and laugh happily with a high-achieving student. But he calmly announced tonight's starting lineup: Snoopidoo, David Lee, Quentin Richardson, Jamal Crawford, Chris Duhon!

Newcomer Doug replaced Zach Randolph, the team's biggest player, as the starting center?

The message took the entire locker room by surprise and found it ridiculous. One second, Randolph was chatting with Snoopy, and the next second, he was snatched away by Snoopy.

Will he be pissed off?
