Four Hundred and Fifty-Three: [Execute Randolph]

The defending champion Lakers did not carry out drastic reforms during the offseason, but made a major "substitution" signing at the third position. Ariza joined the Houston Rockets for 5 years and 33.95 million U.S. dollars, and Artest joined the Lakers for 5 years and 33.95 million U.S. dollars.

The gains and losses of this "trade" are very obvious to the Lakers.

Bad aspects: Lost youth, future and athleticism, lost the number one expert in the weak-side passing line, and weakened the attacking ability of the weak-side cut.

Good things: Artest has better passing ability, more game experience, better court temperament, and stronger defensive ability. He is more suitable than Ariza to match Paul Pierce of the Celtics. And most importantly...his passion has curbed the Lakers' bad habit of being prone to loose habits to a certain extent.

So far in the new season, the Lakers have only lost 1 game, or because Pau Gasol left the game with a finger injury, and in the end they only lost 2 points at the AT&T Center. It can be said that the strength of this season even surpassed that of last season.

Before this game, apart from Andrew Bynum claiming to prove his worth far beyond the Knicks' Snoopy in the game. Ron Artest also said that he would entertain Snoopy as a Lakers player.

In fact, in the game predictions of major media, Ron Artest is also considered to be the best candidate to defend Snoopy. They think that Artest's strong body is enough to drag Snoopy into the iron quagmire... Artest may be afraid of speed opponents, but he actually has experience with those players who play back to the basket and make tentative shots of.

Even though his strength has declined over the years, he is, after all, the first person in the NBA to win the best defensive player as a perimeter player since the new century.

Of course, no one thinks that the Knicks, who are in a state of civil strife, can beat the Lakers away.

However, TNT still carried out a national live broadcast of this game, after all, this was the finals of last season.

As for TNT's live broadcast arrangement, ESPN next door is undoubtedly mocking. Their national live broadcast is the Celtics vs. Cleveland Cavaliers. And put out the slogan in advance: Eastern Conference finals warm-up battle!

Judging from the current situation, from a basketball perspective, ESPN has a better game resource.

As for TNT, they can only place their hopes on those fans and gossip fans of Lord Duke. Too bad there doesn't seem to be any Duchess ladies claiming to be at Staples Arena tonight.

...

When the outside world even looked at the game with a "boredom" mood, Doug made a decision in the locker room.

He clearly told Randolph: "Zach, I think you have not been in the right rhythm in the last few games. So, tonight you enter the inactive list."

His tone was very calm, but at the same time, there was an air of non-negotiability.

And when he said this, the entire locker room was stunned. Everyone, including Zach Randolph, was unexpected. He didn't expect Snoopy to stand up and ask him to be suspended.

Previously, he had always thought that Snoopy was a kind-hearted person. Even if he completely ignores his existence on the court, he will not show an angry expression.

But now, he actually asked himself to suspend the game so calmly.

"Are you crazy?" Zach Randolph yelled at Doug: "Don't you know that I am the team's strongest attacker? Without me, can you have any hope of defeating the Lakers?"

"You are indeed the team's strongest attacker. But, Zach. We don't need you anymore." Snoopy's expression was even a little sad, but behind the sadness was determination: "I thought we could go hand in hand and create new things together. era.

However, your recent performance has gotten out of control. I've been giving you chances, and I've always wanted you to get back on the right track. But, you didn't do that. Therefore, in my future plans, you will not exist. "

"You give me a chance? Hmph!"

Zach Randolph sneered, he finally no longer had any scruples. He rushed over and tried to grab Doug by the collar, but James Johnson and Wesley Matthews blocked his way when there was still a meter away from Snoopy.

And Snoopy Marbury has started the voting channel: "Now all coaching staff members, team medical team members, and players on the team roster are required to vote by show of hands, and Zach Randolph's current physical condition is not suitable for continuing to play. Raise your hands if you're competing."

His voice just fell.

Doug raised his hand.

Then, Zach Randolph finally saw clearly Snoopy's huge influence in the locker room.

All five members of the coaching staff raised their hands, including Jeff Van Gundy, who he had been courting and thought he had established a good relationship with.

All four members of the team medical team raised their hands.

The team's twelve-man roster: Milicic, Nate Robinson, Stephon Marbury, Wesley Matthews, James Johnson, Kirk Hinrich...Eddie Curry.

Zach Randolph finally realized that he had completely lost his ability to compete with Snoopy.

Everything I had done before was nothing but stupid self-hypnosis. It didn't have the slightest effect at all.

The tide is gone!

Zach Randolph sighed.

In his original plan, the final showdown between himself and Snoopy will be earth-shattering, and he will bring thunderous momentum to disintegrate Snoopy's power in the locker room, after all, Snoopy looks so weak. The most important thing is that he was the one who helped him up to the position back then, and he was able to lift him up, and he could also kill him... This has always been his psychological advantage.

But now.

Snoopy just knocked him back to the bottom with a light words: Zach, I don't need you anymore.

After he said this, he didn't even have to announce the next thing himself.

Someone helped him fight, someone helped him initiate a vote... and many more stood directly behind him.

It turned out that we were no longer the same heavyweight players.

Randolph finally realized this.

But it's too late.

"Snoopy, don't be complacent. If you don't win, everything that happened now will turn around and swallow you up." Jeffries suddenly yelled instead of Zach Randolph.

His words made Randolph's gloomy eyes light up: Yes. Once the Knicks lose, all the blame will fall on Snoopy alone.

Snoopy, you are indeed a brilliant student of calculations. But, you're too impatient to suddenly attack me with a full blown attack against the defending champs. This is to let me die and survive.

Hope rekindled in Zach Randolph.

He seemed to see the bloody scene where Snoopy was scolded by the media and fans. And at that time, I only need to appear in front of the camera as a victim.

Still too young after all!

A smile appeared on Randolph's mouth.

But he didn't know that at this moment, there was also a smile on the corner of Snoopy's mouth.
