When Jamal Crawford and Wilt Chandler came out of the player tunnel, their faces were all smiles. They discussed everything, and they were full of confidence in defending against Snoopy.
So, after a simple warm-up, Donny Walsh announced the start of this spectacular heads-up.
The sidelines are full of staff, whether they are sweeping cleaners or team executives, they are all looking forward to it. Eddie Curry and Jerome James yelled loudly on the other side, and they made a handicap.
This kind of atmosphere makes people easily think of Rock Park.
"Snoopy, come on! I bought 10,000 dollars for you." Zach Randolph yelled at the top of his voice.
"I bought it for three thousand dollars. I support you, Snoopy!!" Nate Robinson was also expressing his love.
But in addition to the two of them, more money is on Jamal Crawford and Wilt Chandler.
This makes the odds very deformed.
The odds of pressing Snoopy even reached 2.0. The odds of the Crawford duo are only 0.5. But even so, many people are still betting on the duo. The rising amount makes Snoopy's odds also increase crazily.
"Zach, you think Snoopy can score four goals on them? That's fucking ridiculous."
Quentin Richardson's tone was relaxed, with a victorious expression of money already in his pocket.
There are so many people with this idea, and many staff can't help but bet on the duo.
In fact, if Donny Walsh hadn't been hindered by the majesty of the president, he would have placed the order. After all, the handicap is four goals! !
Compared with him, Isaiah Thomas looks much shameless. He didn't care about the majesty of the vice president, he walked over and directly bet 5,000 dollars on Snoopy.
This made Quentin Richardson and others very excited, and the five thousand dollars slightly neutralized the odds that had almost completely collapsed.
And at this time, the duel was official.
Snoopy held the ball outside the three-point line and had 24 seconds of attack time, but he didn't grab a rebound for a second chance in each round. There are ten rounds in total.
When Doug holds the ball,
Jamal Crawford and Wilt Chandler both shrunk inside the three-point line.
They all know that Doug doesn't have the ability to shoot a three-point jumper. If he wants to shoot from the spot, this distance can still interfere.
Unbeknownst to them, however, Doug felt perfectly smooth at this point.
During the previous practice, he hit a jumper three-pointer, although it took 14 shots for it.
Therefore, he took off without hesitation, and shot the basketball extremely decisively. Although his movements are still a bit stiff, his shooting posture is very standard. Even the most experienced three-point shooter can hardly pick out the fault from his posture, but Quentin Richardson shouted at the same moment Duger shot: "This Are you committing suicide..."
The voice has not yet fallen, swish! ! !
His mouth opened wide, gaping.
The other people around also had a surprised expression, in fact, this surprise has a superimposed effect. Their first surprise was... Snoopy dared to shoot a three-pointer?
Soon, the surprise was covered: Snoopy actually hit a jumper three-pointer? ?
Donnie Walsh looked at Isaiah Thomas, who was jumping excitedly beside him, and his eyebrows furrowed involuntarily: "This is a coincidence."
D'Antoni on the side has a wonderful expression. He actually supports sending Crawford away, because Crawford is incompatible with his tactics. What he pursues is an extreme fast break, which requires very high efficiency per unit of time. . But Jamal Crawford is an extremely old-school scorer, or a one-on-one player. Even if he can score incredible points in many games, his high-dimensional data sheet is still unsightly.
In contrast, although Snoopy has no offensive ability, the team's efficiency value is obviously higher when he is on the court, and he is positive in almost every game, even if the team loses.
"If Snoopy has a stable three-point ability, the Knicks may not be able to replicate Phoenix's fast storm."
D'Antoni rubbed his palms together, and he began to dream.
At this time, Doug had already started the second round of attack.
Since he hit a jumper three-pointer on the first ball, this made Crawford and Chandler dare not fully shrink. Jamal Crawford followed the defense, and Wilt Chandler stopped within the left elbow of the free throw line. He was waiting for Snoopy's arrival. Once he broke through Jamal Crawford's defense, he would Complete the double-team here!
but.
What he didn't expect was that Jamal Crawford's defense was torn apart in less than a second.
Crawford can almost be described as ignorant of defense. Doug just used the simplest tentative step, and there was a loophole in his position. Immediately, Duge flashed past without even using a crossover, just a high-speed change of direction to complete the cutting of his defense.
Then go straight to the three-point line.
Everyone knows that his goal must be the basket.
Wilt Chandler knew it, too, so he went up and pressed the defense quickly, trying to drive Doug into the corner and create time for Crawford to come back and defend.
However.
Wilt Chandler's defense is not the top choice, his defense is more based on aggressive confrontation ability.
But... the last thing Snoopy is worried about is this kind of oppressive defense. He rarely has the problem of dribbling deformation caused by high-intensity confrontation when other point guards face tall forwards' misplaced defenses... because he is a tough player Mismatch contender: And that's why Isaiah Thomas keeps comparing him to LeBron James.
What happened on the court also fully proved this point.
Doug forcibly carried Chandler's defense to reach the paint area with firm steps, and then pressed Chandler's left hand to dial the basketball to the basket.
This action is simple and unpretentious, without any skills. It is purely power suppression.
But in fact, at the moment Duge shot, he didn't have any confidence in his heart.
If it was before, he wouldn't even dare to make a move in such a high-strength confrontation, because he couldn't maintain his balance.
Today his coordination ability has been improved, but he can barely send the ball. After sending the ball, he still staggered a little when he landed.
Doug didn't take this face-to-face confrontation as a serious or future game at this time, although Thomas said very seriously and was quite angry on the phone last night. But subconsciously, he still feels that this may be New York making special training for himself, just like when in Miami, Mr. Pat Riley put himself in the forward group and the guard group for training.
Therefore, his shot selection is very bold and aggressive. Whether it was the previous three-point jumper or the forced hook under the strong confrontation of this round, he had never tried it before. But good luck....
Swish!
The basketball fell into the net for the second time.
This once again overturned the attention of the spectators. They never expected that Snoopy would score two goals in a row, and the second goal was so difficult.
"Two goals." Isaiah Thomas chuckled, and raised his eyebrows at Donny Walsh.
Donny Walsh had a complicated expression at this time. On the one hand, Snoopy did score two goals. But he thinks these two goals are more luck than strength. If it is so easy to enter three, it is not of reference significance.
Meanwhile, Doug has started his third attack.
Before the attack, Jamal Crawford and Chandler whispered for a while. Then, Chandler stepped up to mark Doug, and Crawford was on the back door at the free throw line, ready to double-team at any time.
This time, however, a confident Doug tried a pull-up jumper from the free throw line and... Swoosh!
Another hit.
This made Isaiah Thomas jump up directly, and Zach Randolph and Nate Robinson next to him screamed and roared excitedly.
On the side, Quentin Richardson and others were dumbfounded: How is it possible? Snoopy scored three goals in a row? And they are all basketballs with a very high degree of difficulty. This is too unrealistic, right?
Donny Walsh also looked blank: Jamal Crawford's New York career is over? Snoopy scored three balls in a row, is this God's guidance?
D'Antoni whispered to him next to him: "Three-point jumper, strong attack at the basket, and emergency stop jumper from the free throw line. These three shots are very representative. This seems to prove that Snoopy has the opportunity to become a player with all-round coverage in the future. Super scorer on the court."
D'Antoni has made a choice deep in his heart.
But Donny Walsh still felt that Snoopy's goal was too surreal.
Immediately, the next fourth attack seemed to test his idea. Snoopy's pull-up jumper completely missed the basket and shot a three-point shot.
On the fifth ball, Jamal Crawford and Chandler suddenly double-teamed ahead of time, which made Doug almost make a direct mistake, but in the panic, he still stabilized the ball and went to the basket. But the forced throw was thrown directly behind the basketball by him... Donny Walsh covered his eyes in pain, unable to bear to look directly.
But Isaiah Thomas has already blew the whistle of victory, three goals have been scored, and the overall situation is set!
On the sixth ball, Snoopy tried another jumper from outside the three-point line and missed!
On the seventh ball, he went to the basket and was blocked by Crawford from behind for a layup.
The eighth ball was directly intercepted.
On the ninth ball, Snoopy tried a horse-riding archery throw from the free throw line and hit Nate Robinson in the head.
From the seventh goal, Nate Robinson and Zach Randolph have been running for half of the court in a hurry, and they kept yelling on the sidelines. Victory is only one step away, they don't want to lose 13,000 US dollars because of one ball! !
In this regard, Isaiah Thomas is not as distressed as they are about the five thousand dollars. Compared with the five thousand dollars, he cares more about whether his overall plan can go smoothly. Moreover, anyway, the new contract James Dolan gave him has an annual salary of more than 4 million, and he doesn't care about it. Therefore, when he saw Nate Robinson jumping up and down in a hurry, he couldn't help shaking his head: after all, he was still young and lacked concentration.
"Snoopy, hold on, don't waste it!! The last goal must be scored!! My three thousand dollars, I am a basic salary." Nate Robinson's voice was about to fly away because of the money. The 'big money' was hoarse.
Seeing him like this, Doug couldn't help but find it funny.
But at the same time, he quietly raised his attention. He decided to treat it like a game-winning shot, which he had hit once in Miami. He likes this feeling very much, but at critical moments, basketball is always in Dwyane Wade's hands. Now...he also wants to be the controller at the last moment.
Meanwhile, Jamal Crawford and Wilt Chandler were whispering.
They are very satisfied with their defense just now. Except for the three dribbles in the opening game, Snoopy didn't make any achievements under heavy defense.
"Wilter, have you seen the smiles on the faces of Downey, D'Antoni and Isaiah? They must have been impressed by our defense, and Snoopy will definitely enter the freezing circle because of it. So, what we will do next Good finishing job, the last ball will become his tombstone." Jamal Crawford told Wilt Chandler with a serious expression: "Teaming!"
Chandler nodded vigorously, and he agreed with Crawford's judgment very much.
In this test, he devoted 100% of his defensive energy, and he firmly believed that his hard work would pay off.
And Snoopy, who is crazy and indiscriminate, will definitely make the management lose confidence in him.
