Four Hundred and Fourteen: [The World Is Invincible, the NBA Is a Business]
The second game of the finals was held on June 3, 2009. At this time, the incident at the Duke Girls Stadium was still spreading, and there was really no news in Hollywood recently... After all, even Britney had changed her mind and returned to the gym. The studio worked on the new album, and Madonna traveled to Europe. People's eyes can only focus on this large-scale and fierce battle between the duchess and the girls.
And another thing that took away the attention of the finals was that the draft lottery held on the 2nd finally showed the results. The lucky Clippers won the No. 1 pick in 2009. Then the Sixers and the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Knicks' first-round pick was traded early. In fact, they only got the 18th pick...Miami was not happy with this pick, because none of their uniforms expected to trade Snoopy to After the Knicks, the Knicks escaped the lottery and made the playoffs...even the Finals.
Pat Riley hasn't been having a good time lately, despite openly admitting he's made one of the worst errors of judgment of his career. But this kind of "confession and leniency" did not make him understand. Instead, many Heat fans criticized him. If Snoopy remained in the team, the team that reached the finals would be Miami!
In this regard, Pat Riley had nothing to say and was powerless to refute. Because a bad team like the Knicks and Doug can make it to the finals, why can't Miami?
Regarding the draft, the Knicks' uniforms have already started to work. Both Isaiah Thomas and Dande Anthony are back in their offices. Because of the team's madness in this playoffs, they now have more chips in their hands.
Players who used to be called junk contracts have trade value again, even players like Richardson, Jeffries, Stephon Marbury have become high-quality assets, Eddie Curry and Zach Randolph It is no longer regarded as a huge burden. Some mid-tier teams that lack big centers and try to go further have the courage to take risks.
Based on this situation, D'Antoni has an easy job with Isaiah Thomas and Donnie Walsh.
Moreover, they have had different opinions on the offseason operations after the coaching issue, and they all tend to carry out drastic reforms this summer. Because, there must be enough salary space to wait for the king to arrive in 2o1o.
certainly,
In the current situation, they must communicate with Snoopy before proceeding with the trade proposal. If the Duke is determined to keep a certain player, he will most likely be kept... No one can deny that Snoopy is becoming a privileged player in New York State. No one wanted to upset him.
In the second game of the finals, Snoopy played the whole game again. Although the whole world knew that he was physically fit, but at the last moment...his fatigue was still visible to the naked eye.
He scored 14 points, 16 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 blocks in the second game.
Everyone who watched the game couldn't help applauding him from the bottom of his heart. Because, all his rebounds were obtained under the defense of the Lakers' twin towers. He threw himself into the air time and time again, in exchange for the possibility of an offense with desperation.
However, even so, he ultimately failed to change the fate of the Knicks.
122:99.
The Lakers won by 23 points.
You can't blame the Knicks' players for not working hard enough or being motivated enough. They've done as much as they can, even in the fourth quarter when two players had calf cramps and Marbury was carried off the court.
In fact, 3 minutes before the end of the fourth quarter, the Knicks once chased the score to only 6 points left. But as Zach Randolph missed 3 consecutive shots, Kobe Bryant seized the opportunity to counterattack and led the team to score 8 points in a row. There was no suspense in the game.
After the game, Duger was helped out of the court by a physical trainer for the first time in his career.
Even strong and steel, there are also moments of fatigue.
ESPN's statistical experts pointed out that Doug is the player with the longest running distance in the game, and also the player with the most physical confrontation, and he confronted from the 1st position to the 5th position...he can't do more.
When Kobe Bryant was interviewed by the media after the game, he expressed his attitude clearly and straightforwardly: "I hope our management will follow up with him from now on, and I hope he will come to Los Angeles after the contract expires!! I add He's invincible! He's not just Scottie Pippen, he's Dennis Rodman, he's even Ron Harper."
"You can't find a player who is more suitable for me than him!" Kobe Bryant emphasized: "At the same time, I can make him a better superstar. I am the only one in the world who can make his scoring average increase." Players with 25 points or even 30 points."
Black Mamba confesses affectionately.
He sees things very clearly now. If he wants to surpass Michael Jordan, the first thing is to find a ranking comparable to Scottie Pippen. Snoopy is undoubtedly the best object.
He didn't just talk casually. That night, he had a very serious phone call with Jerry Bass.
He carefully and rigorously explored various trading possibilities. He proposed a deal with Andrew Bynum, Lamar Odom, or Pau Gasol.
Although the Lakers team is very stable now, and it is already a championship-level team.
However, Kobe Bryant wants to build a dynasty, one that can rival the Bulls' two three-peat titles. Maybe five titles, maybe six titles, maybe eight titles.
He believes that Snoopy and himself have a high probability of achieving this ambitious goal. And others like Lamar Odom, Andrew Bynum and even Pau Gasol are not enough to accompany him to accomplish this goal.
Jerry Buss told Kobe in a weak tone on the phone: "I will seriously consider the feasibility of this matter."
His days are numbered.
He also wants to leave a brilliant team for the Lakers. The template that Kobe Bryant gave him now is a bit like the transfer of power between Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and the Magician in the 1970s and 1980s.
...
Doug lay in the locker room for nearly thirty minutes when he sat up. Zach Randolph came over and chatted with him for a while, and he hoped to reach a consensus with Doug.
That is...he wants his unlimited firepower to be unrestricted. Because he realized that as Snoopy took more and more initiative on the offensive end, the number of times he opened singles with the ball was far lower than the probability of catching and shooting.
"That's the key to my missing three shots at the last moment. I didn't get a continuation of shots."
Zach Randolph emphasized.
Doug was silent, he didn't know how to answer Randolph.
Randolph was injured for more than a month. After his return, the team has actually embarked on a completely different rhythm of the game.
The disconnect between him and the rest of the team was palpable, and... as Doug began to dominate the ball more and deliberately execute those 'difficult' jumpers, his role became less and less obvious.
This made him feel a sense of crisis.
So, when Doug was able to sit up, he came over and talked about it.
"We're going to find a way to play that matches the rhythm of everyone's offense."
Doug patted him on the shoulder, and then signaled that he had to go to the hospital for a physical examination.
The conversation between the two did not achieve a clear result, but only reached a rough consensus.
...
Although the Knicks lost a game, when they returned to New York, they were still applauded and cheered by the whole city. Nobody blamed them for their losses, everyone actually praised them and was genuinely proud of them.
With such a lineup, being able to win a victory at Staples has long been a supremely glorious thing.
After the first game, the New York media played various headlines of "counterattack miracle", and Snoopy seemed to be the savior who saved the Knicks from hell! Marbury, Eddie Curry, Richardson and other muddy players who were originally abused and humiliated have also transformed into inspirational symbols and typical examples of prodigal sons who return to gold!
"Without a doubt, Snoopy changed locker room culture."
Donny Walsh mentioned this matter in front of the media more than once.
Of course, other players are also emphasizing this point. Richardson even made an exaggerated expression in the face of Time Magazine's feature interview: "I don't know why I would obey the orders of a brat. But it just happened. We all owe him Change, he took us through this series of impossible battles, our confidence, our positivity, and even our original love for basketball were called back."
"Rebellion is by no means the mainstream of the current Knicks locker room. Snoopy makes us better people."
The historic transformation of the Knicks this season seems to have become a cultural phenomenon. Snoopy is like a priest with magical powers. People who radiate positive energy upwards!
The nBa officials obviously like such stories very much, and they used a lot of media resources to promote this matter.
This has increased Duge's popularity to a greater extent, and allowed him to get rid of some duchess girls' lace news and become a model of positive energy.
And this... the advantage is that the endorsement products are more diverse and the prices are higher.
Lin Weiwei was undoubtedly the happiest person. She arrived in New York before the Knicks opened the third finals, bringing three players she signed.
USC's Tay Gibson, Davis College's Stephen Curry and Wake Forest's James Johnson.
Ty Gibson used to be Doug's sworn enemy. In college, he didn't pay attention to Doug, and even said a lot of disdainful words during the duel.
But now, he had to look up at Doug.
When meeting Doug, he said a lot of words of admiration. No one knows whether he is sincere, but the reality is that Doug has already become an nBa superstar beyond his reach.
Stephen Curry and Doug are already very familiar, and he walked into Doug's house as if he walked into his own home.
And James Johnson from Wake Forest gave Doug a very special feeling of intimacy. The forward, whom Lin Weiwei calls a defensive expert, hugged him hard when he saw him: "I like your playing style very much. Look! This is your avatar, I tattooed it on my dantian!!"
Yes, James Johnson clearly said the word 'dantian' in Chinese.
He was born in a family of martial arts, and he learned karate kenpo from his parents since he was a child. The Kenpo flow originated from the Ryukyu Tangshou in Okinawa, originated in Chinese boxing, and then spread to the United States. He is currently a second-degree black belt, and he participated in an mma competition at the age of 18. Now it has won an amazing 22-o record.
Forehead…….
Doug has reservations about other people tattooing his own face on his lower abdomen, especially... his eyes are still so wide on that tattoo... In case his girlfriend squats down to eat bananas, looks up and sees 'myself', and her eyes meet ...wouldn't she have a different association?
"I think the Knicks can take him in this year's draft."
Lin Weiwei came over and told Du Ge.
At this time, James Johnson was so excited that he almost jumped up. God knows why this master fighter wants to regard himself as his idol.
"Your dodging moves to deal with Pachulia and Josh Smith in the Eastern Conference semifinals are amazing. You are definitely a boxing master with super talent." James Johnson repeatedly emphasized this to Dug, and he began to imitate that dodge.
This made Duge remind Lin Weiwei when he went shopping in the city: "Are you sure that kid shouldn't bring his talent to mma?"
"Oh, no. Snoopy, if you've seen his game, he's a great fit for you. You Knicks need a solid player on the wing."
Lin Weiwei said: "That's right. The Knicks management once again discussed with me about Stephen Curry. Are you sure you don't want Curry to be your helper?"
Duger nodded: "Yes, he should go to Oakland. Didn't you tell me that he already got the draft guarantee from Nelson?"
"Okay, I will reject Donny Walsh tonight. Also, as your agent, the Knicks have discussed some trades with me. They obviously want you to participate. It can be seen that they There will be big moves. They will even take advantage of the popular drama of 'the prodigal son' to wipe out all these 'prodigal sons'."
"I won't pay attention to this matter until the finals are over."
Duger said seriously: "I don't want to treat basketball as a business. Of course, for the management, it is."
Lin Weiwei closed her mouth in a timely manner.
After a while, she said again: "After the finals, we will immediately put into the promotional activities of the film documentary. How about it? Can you let your duchess girls come to support the new film? This is related to this The box office revenue of the movie."
Doug stretched back.
"Don't blame me for not reminding you, you have recently increased your holdings on Twitter and Facebook, and a small company called Hatsapp. If you are not willing to give up Apple's stock, then you need a lot of capital."
When Lin Weiwei mentioned this matter, Du Ge could only nod his head: "Okay!"
