Five Hundred and Twenty-Five: [Encirclement and Suppression of Snoopy]
Ron Adams, the chief assistant coach of the Bulls, looked at the silent locker room with an extremely dignified expression. This is the first time in his career that he has directed an NBA game in its entirety. In the past, he imagined many pictures in his mind, in those imaginations, he lashed out at Fang Qiu, commanded him with his life, and embraced him with all his might. But now...he just wanted to not lose such an ugly game, at least not to set a shameful record. But judging from the Atlanta people's resentment against Snoopy and the record of winning against the Bulls this season, this possibility looks extremely high. It is very likely that the Atlanta people will not accept the knife after entering the garbage time.
This is probably why Tom Thibodeau left.
He surmised 'maliciously' in his heart.
Seeing the players in the locker room like frost-beaten eggplants, he had no choice but to get up and let the players enter the field to warm up in advance, hoping that the heat from the body could boost the morale of the spirit. When he silently watched all the players leave in silence, he actually had some doubts in his heart. What he doubts is the future of the Bulls. He has many years of experience in the NBA, and he knows that a silent team cannot achieve brilliant results.
Moreover, Snoopy's first day brought disaster to the locker room. How can the great revival be accomplished in the future?
His heart was full of pessimism.
At the same time, the fans in the United Center arena were extremely excited, they shouted Snoppy's name, and the sound was monstrous. Some even directly shouted the voice of the Duke! !
How strong their hatred for Snoopy was before, how strong their love for Snoopy is now, even doubled.
As a former opponent, a former enemy. They even know how scary Snoopy is even better than New York fans, so when this deal happened, the enthusiasm of the entire Windy City was ignited almost instantly.
It's just... At this moment, they are so excited that they don't know that there is such a fierce conflict in the team's locker room, and they don't even know that the main players such as Joakim Noah can no longer play, and the head coach Tom Thibodeau even took the initiative to add himself to the injured list , he will not appear in the game tonight and the night after tomorrow. He won't be back with the team until after the All-Star break.
Snoopy waved his arms to excited fans all around him, smiling and looking calm.
Until Pachulia came over and sarcastically dropped a trash talk at him: "Treasure the applause now! Soon, the deceived Bulls fans will double the current cheers and return them to you in the form of boos." ..you'll get a debut of nothing done and ridiculed..."
Snoopy looked up, and he interrupted Pachulia's chatter indifferently. Although the behavior of interrupting others was not advocated by the teacher in etiquette class, Snoopy really felt from the bottom of his heart: "Dude, you need to see a psychiatrist."
His indifference made Pachulia subconsciously move backwards. The European center who had been indirectly overturned by Snoopy and carried out of the court was still full of inexplicable fear deep in his heart.
"soft!"
Seeing his actions, Duge raised his brows in contempt.
Then he saw Scarlett Johansson sitting in a familiar position, she was sitting next to the players' tunnel. When the Duke's eyes swept over, her eye sockets seemed to have peach blossoms, which was very attractive, and she meowed into the player tunnel from time to time. A feeling of eagerness to try again.
Moreover, the thing that burned the Duke's heart the most... Her mouth was pouting, clearly saying: Meow meow!
It seems to be sending a high-pitched, mellow and sultry voice message to Snoopy with his mouth.
Doug turned around quickly, and he realized that the beating rate of his heart had been slowly increasing.
...
Ron Adams followed Tom Thibodeau's tactical philosophy, and he did not make any changes to the tactics. But out of respect for Snoopy, he gave enough tactical freedom. And emphasized to other players that this game is mainly to adapt Snoopy to the team's tactical system.
Derrick Rose, Stephon Marbury, Luol Deng, Tajib, Snoopy.
This is the Bulls' starting lineup.
When this lineup came out, ESPN wasn't as surprised as it might have been. They have quickly learned of the conflicts in the Bulls locker room through internal channels. And, it's been discussed for ten minutes.
Then, it was concluded that….
"The Bulls may not get what they want from this transaction. Today, when more and more teams are rebuilding their minds to form old star clusters and successfully win the championship, the Bulls still hope to start with newcomers and create a new team. It's not the time for a team to grow up and dominate the league for a long time. Today's young people don't obey anyone, and they have no patience. Don't ever expect two amazing talents to spend their rookie contracts peacefully. And sign the next contract extension at the same time.”
Bill Walton sighed in front of the camera: "Now, it's not the 1980s or 1990s. David Stern has pushed the commercial value of the NBA to the limit. There will never be another Boston Celtics with eight consecutive championships! "
McBrin was somewhat surprised by the brawl in the locker room; "Snoopy is not a person who loses his mind easily, but the message from the front is indeed beyond my expectations. Could it be that the 'Duke of Roses' combination from the beginning Doomed? The Bulls will never be able to replicate the Jordan Pippen legacy?"
To be honest, McBrin was a little disappointed. He still hopes that there will be another dynasty team. The combination of Derrick Rose and Snoopidoo looks extremely promising.
"Just wait and see! Maybe things are not as complicated as imagined. I always feel that Snoopy is not the kind of player who declares sovereignty when he first arrives. Moreover, Derrick Rose handed over the position of the leader of the locker room from the beginning. Snoopy There is absolutely no need to instruct his team members to beat Joakim Noah because of this!"
Reggie Miller emphasized.
Yes, the message sent by the Bulls' insiders is: the newcomer evil duke directed his heirs to openly disturb the atmosphere of the locker room, beat Joakim Noah and other core players, and drive away Tom Thibodeau in an attempt to occupy the absolute The right to speak...just like he did in New York. In fact, ESPN’s phone interview revealed that Snoopy wanted to fire Tom Thibodeau at all. He wanted the Knicks’ Herb Williams to arrive in Chicago, because Herb Williams was the one he had met. The best marionettes ever!
These remarks have begun to circulate on the Internet, and those experts who tried to catch Snoopy's painful feet have started a new round of trouble!
And at this time!
beep!
The whistle sounded.
Snoopy's Bulls debut officially kicked off!
At this time, the team members standing beside him had their own thoughts.
The players standing opposite him stared angrily. When facing the Duke of Snoopy, the Atlanta people never had to worry about morale issues. They even mentioned last season's best sixth man Jamal Crawford to the starting position, in order to encircle Snoopy with the enemy!
Give him a slap in the face! Let him get into a difficult start in Chicago, and at the same time kill the arrogance of the Chicago Bulls.
"We have to let the people of Chicago know that ... getting Snoopy is the beginning of their nightmare, and they will replace the New York Knicks as the public enemy of the entire Eastern Conference."
"Tonight...we will take advantage of the Bulls' lack of clarity in tactics and the Knicks players' low level of integration to slaughter them. The entire Eastern Conference must know that Atlanta is also the first team for the championship this season!"
Hawks coach Woodson aggressively issued a battle declaration before the game. He has deep resentment towards Snoopy, and he will never forget the home game last summer. He watched Snoopy snatch the victory from his hand in the image of a lonely hero and advance to the Eastern Conference Finals! That was the closest he was to a championship in his career.
Now, taking advantage of Snoopy's first entry into Chicago. He issued a kill order!
He wants to be ashamed!
