Two Hundred and Forty-Eight: [Lying Randolph]

beep!

The whistle is ringing!

Snapped!

The basketball was taken by Doug to Randolph without any suspense.

For the jump ball, the Sharks have long given up resistance. In fact, as soon as he lifted his legs, Doug performed a violent bounce, slapping the basketball over his head and into his own half.

After Randolph handed the ball to Duger, Duger didn't start running and bombing quickly in the first round!

He stabilized the rhythm and brought the ball up the field.

Then he completed the pick-and-roll with Milicic on the three-point line. As LeBron James said before the game, the Cavaliers did not make any plans to defend Dug!

After he used the pick-and-roll to find space, no one came forward to defend.

Not even Mo Williams was anxious to go after him.

So, Doog made a decisive shot...he stayed where he was.

Swish!

The basketball falls into the net!

2:0.

His Excellency the New York Knicks came out on top.

There were screams and cheers at Madison Garden, and young boys and girls dancing in Duke jerseys. And the people next to them who looked more like fans seemed aloof, they just clapped their hands, not yet standing up and applauding. Some of them have other thoughts in their hearts. They don't want to offend LeBron James because of this. They are full of flattery for the man of heaven.

This thing sounds ridiculous, but in fact...Madison Garden has become LeBron James' second home.

Mo Williams quickly brought the ball upfield and then immediately handed it to James. James didn't take advantage of the situation to open the singles, he handed the ball to Shaquille O'Neal.

O'Neal stuck Milichic tightly behind him in the paint area, and his huge body was full of majestic strength. Although he is 38 years old, he was still selected as an All-Star last season and was also selected to the third team of the league.

When he received the basketball, he slapped the ground fiercely, arched his body, then turned around, and then hooked... It was like a factory process,

But Milichic couldn't stop it at all... Swish!

The basketball fell into the net!

"That's what Cleveland's acquisition of Sharks means. With his physical strength, he can still beat anyone one-on-one in the penalty area."

"The playoffs are O'Neal's stage. The Cavaliers traded him obviously to deal with Dwight Howard and Kentrick Perkins. If they make it to the finals, he will definitely give Bynum, Gasol They make trouble."

ESPN's McBrin analyzed from a professional perspective.

The Cavaliers acquired the Sharks through a trade, which was rated as an A-level trade, and they got the strength they needed most.

However, the Knicks got Milicic and Novak?

Nobody knew what they could do, and everyone saw the trade as a way to clear up space for Snoopy.

So, this brought a lot of notoriety to Doug.

Back at halftime, Doug still let Milicich come out to pick and roll for himself. And after breaking into the paint area, he passed the ball back to Milicic.

But Milichic apparently hasn't received the ball high in years, and he doesn't know anything about his teammates' runs. So, he froze in place... Crack!

LeBron James rushed over quickly, slammed his hand knife, and directly snatched his basketball.

Immediately, a violent attack was launched on the frontcourt.

No one cares whether he fouled the ball.

Madison Garden even rings MVP.

boom!

After galloping all the way.

James hangs strong above the Knicks' rim.

His absolute speed is very fast. Although Doug has been chasing after him fiercely, because of his physical coordination and the distance at the start, he can only stand on the free throw line and watch him complete dunks with both hands.

In the voice of MVP in Madison Garden, when LeBron James passed by Snoopy, he left a faint sentence: "Even in New York, the power of the king is still greater than that of the duke."

Doug frowned at him.

Then, go over and serve.

"See? The gap in talent is very obvious." Donny Walsh seriously discussed with Isaiah Thomas: "Just now, Snoopy couldn't catch up with LeBron James without the ball. .”

"No, it's not like this." Isaiah Thomas also answered seriously: "Snoopy does not have the strength to make a horizontal comparison with LeBron James. But... how about a vertical comparison? Snoopy is in a He couldn't even dribble a year ago, and he's progressed so fast."

The two insisted on their own opinions, and for the sake of James Dolan sitting in the middle, they both chose to let it go.

At the same time, Reggie Miller and Bill Walton in the ESPN commentary booth are talking about clichés. They are not as gentle with Milicich as they are with the juniors. They mocked the 2003 No. 2 pick to their heart's content. "If it weren't for LeBron James stealing the basketball, I would have almost forgotten that Milicic was the second pick in 2003."

"LeBron James, Milichic, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade...everyone will find one name out of place. But that's the order at the time."

While they unleashed their taunts on television, Doug reassured Milichic.

He didn't want Milicich to lose confidence because of this foul steal.

Then back in the half court, he immediately called Zach Randolph to the three-point line. Randolph quickly stepped up to set the pick-and-roll, and Doug used his screen to quickly get into the paint.

That's when Randolph was waiting for a pass back, ready to hit a shot at the free throw line. Duger feinted at the basket, deceiving O'Neill's defensive sight, and then handed the ball to Milicic!

Milicic received the basketball and put the ball into the basket.

This goal did not make Milicic get applause. On the contrary, many fans felt that he was too soft.

"Hey, buddy, why didn't you dunk?" Randolph also asked him in surprise when he returned to halftime: "Do you know that you missed a chance to dunk the shark?"

"Basketball isn't just about dunking."

Doug interrupted Randolph's questioning at the right time.

At this time, the game continued.

Milicic still couldn't defend the Sharks, and his top defense seemed insignificant in front of the fat Sharks with plenty of energy. And... Although Randolph has a strong and fat body, he does not intend to go head-to-head with O'Neill. Moreover, he doesn't like helping defense either.

This allows the Sharks to do whatever they want in the paint.

Because Doug didn't dare to let go of his defense against Mo Williams and go in to double-team, his three-point shooting ability is too strong.

Fortunately, Duger and Zach Randolph's pick-and-roll effect is not bad, plus Gallinari and Quentin Richard hit a three-pointer and a long-range two-pointer respectively.

So, when the first ad pauses.

The two sides tied at 17:17.

"Milichi Qi down, David Lee up." D'Antoni quickly made a rotation adjustment.

But as soon as he said this, Zach Randolph questioned: "Why did you replace Darko? He played very well."

His words made the coaching staff look at him strangely: Did Milichic play well just now? You don't want to carry O'Neill and deliberately let him stay on the court to do hard work, right?

"Just because O'Neal made 5 of 7 shots does not negate Darko's contribution. He consumed a lot of O'Neal's physical strength, and he also conscientiously completed every basket. I think he brought us a tough defensive spirit. He Will be my best partner!" Zach Randolph was very serious, and said every word: "I mean the best inside partner I have ever played in basketball!"

For him who is a liar, it is not difficult. When he was in Portland, he could even tell the head coach and the general manager in tears how good his aunt was to him before, and he had to attend Her funeral... Then, someone was photographed hugging and having fun in a nightclub.

It's just that he didn't expect that he lied this time with good intentions.

Milichic had already fallen into complete doubts about himself. When Duge comforted him, his scalp was numb. He felt that what he did was meaningless, and he would never get back to his former self.

But now, Zach Randolph has a serious expression, and his serious words are like a bright light in the dark.

He looked at Zach Randolph in surprise.

At this time, D'Antoni asked him: "Are you sure Millichitch defended O'Neal very well?"

"Of course, I can't find a better defensive center than him." Randolph nodded seriously.

"Okay, then you rest. David Lee to replace the power forward position!" D'Antoni rescinded his previous decision, because he saw through Randolph's laziness.

This made Randolph stunned.

Afterwards, he showed his cultivation as a movie star. He patted Milichic on the shoulder: "Come on, don't disappoint my expectations of you!"

He finished his performance from beginning to end.

At this time, Milichic's already touched hands were shaking. He put his hand on his chest: "Zach, I will not let you down. You are really a good person."

nice guy?

Randolph looked at Milichic's resolute back, and he turned his head to look at Doug: "Am I a good person?"

"Maybe." Duger was not sure, he just affirmed one thing: "But you did help a center that was about to collapse."

beep!

The whistle sounded and the game continued.

Duger received Gallinari's serve in the frontcourt, and he obviously accelerated the pace of advancement.

After setting an easy screen with David Lee from beyond the three-point line, he sprinted into the paint. But this time, LeBron James suddenly moved laterally, dodged to the free throw line, and he blocked Doug's progress.

At the same time, Varejao also quickly encircled him.

Obviously, the Cavaliers want to choke Doug's attack in the middle distance.

Seeing that the double-teaming circle is getting smaller and smaller.

Duger glanced out of the corner of his eye, and he quickly passed the pass to the game area in the form of hitting the ground. Millici had sharp eyes and quick hands, and quickly grabbed the basketball.

Immediately, he feinted upwards.

The shark stepped up subconsciously, but at this time Milicic quickly collected the ball and threw the basketball directly from behind.

Duge, who broke through the double-team, rushed in quickly, received the basketball and faced the empty penalty area, and jumped up high...Boom!

Dunk with both hands!

The whole process is seamless and smooth.

"This ball was passed by Milichic??"

Milichic on the sidelines stared wide-eyed, feeling extremely incredible.

Because this combination is so exquisite!
