Two Hundred and Forty-Seven: [The Duke Who Overwhelms the King]
This game is not actually in ESPN's live broadcast plan, but due to another game being postponed due to venue reasons.
They had to adjust their plans for a national broadcast.
In the end, the New York Knicks, who both completed a major deal, were selected against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
From a competitive point of view, this game can be said to have no suspense.
However, it is full of topics, at least the ratings will not be low.
After all, the leaders of the two teams, one is the signature star of today's league and the ultimate guardian of American basketball. And the other is the ultimate guardian of girl idols in the American entertainment industry. Both of them are popular niches with their own traffic. Their collision, even if it is not publicized, can immediately attract a group of viewers.
"This is the influence of Snoopy." Isaiah Thomas told James Dolan very proudly: "In the four games since Snoopy joined the Knicks, two of them were broadcast live in the United States. Before that, this season we There will be zero live broadcasts across the United States."
James Dolan nodded, he was very satisfied with the commercial dividends brought by Snoopy. It's just... the purpose of his presence on the sidelines tonight is still for LeBron James.
Like the New York fans, he hopes that James will come to New York in the summer of 2010, become the patron saint of Madison Garden, and lead the Knicks to glory!
Of course, Isaiah Thomas is also full of expectations for LeBron James, but what he prefers to see is... under his escort, Snoopy becomes a super king alongside LeBron James. He thinks Snoopy has that potential.
"I heard that before the game, Snu declared in the locker room that he could win tonight?" Donnie Walsh suddenly spoke to James Dolan's left: "Aren't the Chinese very reserved and honest?"
Isaiah Thomas quickly cast his gaze over, thinking that Donnie Walsh was targeting him.
James Dolan frowned, he doesn't like players who talk too much. But they still say: "It is a good thing that young people have fighting spirit."
At this time, his eyes looked at the field.
Dooger keeps trying jumpers from beyond the arc, bang bang bang bang!
The shooting percentage is a bit horrible, but there are still a group of young girls gathered on the sidelines of the court, and they will scream with excitement after every shot. Even if you don't enter, you can still hear their excited voices: Your Excellency Duke is so handsome! !
By contrast... next to him,
Steve Novak, who kept throwing basketballs in, seemed to be transparent, like air, no one applauded him, and no one said he was handsome!
Another newcomer Milicic looked very active. He seemed to be full of energy, constantly re-entering the paint and smashing the ball into the basket. After bombing the basket, he still didn't forget to freeze the pose, and shot at the group of girls with flickering eyes.
But obviously, he didn't get the result he wanted.
"Should I change my nickname to the Marquis of Serbia?" Milicic said to Dug. He still has a strong core consciousness and knows that he will be automatically relegated.
This made Doug unable to answer.
Zach Randolph next to him gave him an angry look, and told him from a dialectical point of view: "Whether you are popular with girls has nothing to do with you changing your nickname. Look at LeBron James over there who is even nicknamed King." , plus chosen-one, I didn’t see how many girl fans he has.”
"If you want to get female fans, the most important thing is..." Randolph pushed his crotch: "... Make this thing big! Just like me."
With that said, Randolph turned around and gave the group of enthusiastic fans a wink.
But there was still no response there, like a stone thrown into the sea!
This made Zach Randolph very embarrassed for a while, and he even had the urge to take out his little brother for Milichic to watch.
However, at this time... ESPN's camera has entered... This makes Randolph lose the courage to take off his pants, after all, he will face an audience all over the United States.
Sideline reporters quickly found Doug, and he asked several commonplace questions. Such as how to evaluate the transaction, how to view the integration of new players, will the style of play be changed tonight...
Doug is a very official answer.
Then, the reporter asked again: "Taylor Swift's production company said that BA officials have also revealed recently that they will invite you to perform at halftime of the All-Star Game. Will you sing new songs?"
"Eh..." Duge's smooth answer was stumped by this question, he was stunned for a while before he said: "Eh, I don't know the consultation in this area yet. But if I can get a chance to perform in the middle, I think I will There must be a careful screening of the performance songs. Strive to bring the best audio-visual performance to the audience."
End the short interview.
All the lights in Madison Garden were turned off, and the final appearance ceremony before the opening was about to begin.
"Judging from the two trades of Jamal Crawford and Wilt Chandler, Snoopy has completely become the core of the Knicks' reconstruction. However, his time is not much. He only has one and a half seasons .If he can't achieve outstanding results in this one and a half seasons, then in the summer of 2010, the Knicks will still change hands in pursuit of superstars." ESPN host Mike Breen said: "Snoopy It's the Knicks' plan B!"
"It's not even a plan B. It should be an experiment without much hope. Anyway, the team has given up any hope for the record of these two seasons. There is no way to clear the bad contract of the team. Then simply let Si Nubi is the core, let him grow freely. After all, he can bring economic benefits that other players cannot." Bill Wharton also said frankly: "However, I hope Snoopy can seize this opportunity. Opportunity. You know...in this commercial league, not every rookie can get unlimited control and firepower in his rookie season. He performed poorly in the last game, and he has to speed up his growth."
The old seniors from the school always care more about the juniors.
"I agree with Mike, Snoopy only has one and a half seasons to prove himself. New York doesn't really see him as an absolute future plan, they still prefer to get LeBron James in 2010, which is almost It’s the consensus of all New Yorkers.”
Another senior, Reggie Miller, was more optimistic: "But I don't think Snoopy played badly in the last game. He still did an excellent job in defense and series work. And in terms of his lack of shooting skills , he became more decisive and courageous. But he took the first step to try, and he was already on the road to progress. I am optimistic about his future, and I think he may be in the summer of 2010 , become the real future plan of the Knicks! Even those superstars whose contracts have expired cannot shake his position in the Knicks!"
"Haha, do you mean that there will be superstars from the 2003 generation coming to the Knicks to hug his thigh?" McBrin joked.
Reggie Miller did not answer directly.
At this time, the sound of Gatling's assault shocked the audience at Madison Garden! !
The DJ at the home court did not use human voice to introduce Duge to the stage, but turned on a sound effect.
In this shocking sound of strafing, the lights descended.
Snoopy slowly stood up from the bench and walked towards the court.
Tonight, he is the finale!
Madison Garden was filled with screams and boos, and he even heard someone shouting "KING" on purpose.
But soon, it was overshadowed by the loud Duke (DUKE) again!
"LeBron James' influence on New York is really strong." Reggie Miller couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Although it is still unknown whether James will join the Knicks in the summer of 2010, some New York fans are willing to offend the current rebuilding core in order to please him.
Tonight... the Knicks' starting lineup is Doug, Quentin Richardson, Gallinari, Zach Randolph and Darkomilichic.
The inclusion of Milichic in the starting lineup was proposed by Doug.
D'Antoni doesn't hate Milichic, and he doesn't want to make trouble with Doug over such a trivial matter, so he simply included him in the starting list.
But in fact, when he put Milicic on the starting list, he also comforted David Lee: "He is just a fake starter. The first commercial is suspended, and I will replace him."
He doesn't want David Lee to feel jealous because of this, and he wants to entrust him with important responsibilities in the future: David Lee is a very good running and bombing player. Good at defensive rebounds and mid-range jumpers, he can replace Stoudemire to a certain extent.
David Lee didn't mind much. He was not optimistic about Milichic. He didn't think Milichic could have a chemical reaction with Zach Randolph. In fact, he didn't think anyone would have chemistry with Randolph...except Snoopy, who couldn't shoot.
On the other side, Cleveland's starting lineup is: Shaquille O'Neal, Anderson Varejao, LeBron James, Daniel Gibson and Mo Williams.
At this time, the shark still has a certain deterrent force on the offensive end. Although he has lost his bounce and flexibility because of his fat, a giant of more than 300 pounds standing in the penalty area will still bring strong pressure to the opponent.
But Doug is clearly not afraid of the pressure.
He took the initiative to stand opposite the shark.
This even made O'Neal himself chuckle: "This is probably the first time in the history of the league to use double point guards to jump the ball."
This sentence made Duge chuckle, he was already able to face this joke calmly.
The fact that O'Neal claimed to be a point guard once troubled Doug a lot, and it also attracted a lot of ridicule for him. But for now, the Sharks are still Sharks, and Doug has secured his No. 1 position.
