Guard With a Knife

call!

Donny Walsh took a deep breath, stretched his waist, looked at the neon lights constantly flashing outside the office, and muttered to himself: Which young man doesn't love the prosperity of a big city? ?”

...

Since Duke Snoopy played against the Boston Celtics on Christmas, other teams seem to have reached a consensus, and they have put on a neat and consistent defensive style. Their formation is always a mobile inside line outside the penalty area in the free throw line, and at the same time there is an assistant next to it.

For the Duke who is only good at straight-line breakthroughs, this is indeed a great restraint, causing his breakthrough damage to drop rapidly.

Although Snoopy can still help the team in terms of inside defense and supporting assists, his current data plummeting has become a foregone conclusion.

With the Knicks losing consecutively at home to the Dallas Mavericks and Chicago Bulls, the talk about Snoopy becoming the second little flying mouse Stoudemire became even more clamorous.

2 of 9 shots, 7 points, 8 assists, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks. This is the data sheet handed over by Snoopy against the Dallas Mavericks.

3 of 11 shots, 10 points, 6 assists, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks. This is all the data for the matchup against the Chicago Bulls.

In these two games, the Knicks lost 11 and 15 points respectively.

Zach Randolph scored 26 points and 29 points respectively, and his performance was praised as always.

However, Duke Snoopy seems to be caught in a huge doubt.

Especially in the direct dialogue with Derrick Rose, he was completely at a disadvantage. The No. 1 pick in 2008, Derrick Rose, scored 25 points, 11 assists, 7 rebounds and 1 steal in the game. His control of the game is even more relatable to a superstar. Since defensive coach Thibodeau took over as Bulls coach, Derrick Rose has officially entered the fast lane. Especially from Christmas to now, the average of 22.5 points, 9.0 assists and 6.5 rebounds per game even made critics unable to help comparing him with Chris Paul's No. 1 point guard in the league.

But more people now call him the hope of Chicago's revival, the No. 1 LeBron James.

His extremely talented and entertaining style of play has allowed him to gain more and more fans. No one does not like his performance that is fast, high-speed, and directly changes direction and crashes into the basket without downshifting. His ability to control the body can be called S-level. Compared with Snoopy, Bill Simmons even viciously claimed: Snoopy looks like a humanoid doll made of steel, and he will never be like Derek. Ross runs at such high speed, not to mention those high-end changes of direction, pulling the bar, and folding layups.

Such remarks are rapidly permeating the basketball circle.

Those experts and commentators who had been slapped in the face by Doug's miraculous performance were all excited and eloquent in their analysis. It was as if the morality he insisted on was finally verified, and he was still the absolute authority that could not make mistakes.

In this trend, there are more and more discussions about Snoopy's trade. Because the rumors about LeBron James joining New York are becoming more and more true, and it seems that Snoopy really does what the pundits claim: There is no redundant potential anymore. Now is the time when his transaction value is the highest, and he is a typical rookie who is the peak!

These voices gradually appeared in the New York media, although they were all insufficient media. But its appearance is still proving... This big city team, as Patrick Ewing said, really does not have that kind of one-size-fits-all external culture.

Duge didn't care about this. He just had a simple phone call with Lin Weiwei before the game against the Chicago Bulls. The two sides reached a consensus on some things, especially the transaction. In the following until the transaction is closed, neither party will make any response or explanation on the transaction rumors in the media, just wait and see.

And in his third straight home game at Madison Gardens, Duke Snoopy left the game with an injury: At that time, he stole Louis Williams in the frontcourt, then launched a fast fast break, and when he rushed to the basket for a violent when buckle,

The 76ers' star Iguodala rushed up from the side aggressively, and he tried to block the shot. But the right hand that was swung fiercely did not successfully cover the basketball, but his body was hung on the arm of the Duke.

This deformed the Duke's dunk with his left hand. Although his left hand was still hanging firmly on the basket in the end, it could be with a person hanging on his shoulder. His left wrist was inevitably strained. When he landed, he quickly interrupted the game with a grin and asked the team doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

When the whole picture was played back on the big screen above the head again, the whole arena screamed. Under the scrutiny of slow motion, everyone realized how dangerous Snoopy's dunk just now was, and many people even felt that Iguodala's violent blow was very likely to break the Duke's bone. The huge acceleration of the body weight pulled it down, the injury must be serious, right?

No one is optimistic about this.

Charles Barkley in the TNT commentary seat even predicted pessimistically: This force is like an elephant stepped on his wrist. God bless Snoopy without serious injuries such as fractures and ligament ruptures. His The shooting itself is not consistent enough, and if the bones shift again, he may really become the representative of the rookie is the best.

After a brief diagnosis, Doug left the field.

The game continued, and in the end the Knicks won.

Although everyone knows that the 76ers are a weak team, they are currently firmly occupying the third-to-last seat in the Eastern Conference. But... when Snoopy was on the court, the Knicks were still 2 points behind. After he was injured and left, the Knicks won by 11 points.

This gives those bad-mouthers a great theoretical basis: Snoopy has become a negative asset for the Knicks. He and Zach Randolph can only exist as one.

In such a voice, Snoopy's injury report was released, with a slight torn ligament and moderate muscle strain.

Since the wrist injury is relatively troublesome, it is related to the feel and ball performance, so the authoritative doctor of kinesiology recommends that the injury be suspended for three to four weeks.

When the injury report came out, the fans who cared about Doug were of course relieved. At the same time, they also felt that Snoopy's physical fitness was amazing, and it was only a small strain under such circumstances.

It's going to be a relaxing vacation for me and I'm flying to Los Angeles tomorrow. My team has arranged some commercial gigs for me because my economic rep told me that I'm already in the red. I have to hurry up and fix it.

Snoopy had a relaxed expression during the interview, and even complained to himself: God knows why I invest in so many Silicon Valley Internet companies.

And his speech means that he will not follow the team to Cleveland, Atlanta, Orlando. And these opponents have been ready to welcome Snoopy since the announcement of the schedule.

But, whatever.

Anyway, the entertainment media is already full of enthusiasm. These words mean that everyone can see the figure of the Duke on the entertainment channel again. They are tired of going to the sports channel to grab the information of the Duke again and again...During this time, those inexplicable The basketball experts are always attacking the Duke.

The entertainment industry doesn't want to see such bad news.

So, the night the Duke flew to Los Angeles, Oprah congratulated him on her interview: Hey, man. Do you know how much we miss you coming back? Are you a phenomenal singer, or A phenomenal icon. Boys and girls all over the world are waiting for your latest news, but these days we always see those rebounds, assists and some guys who make a living judging you. This is definitely not what we want.

This made His Excellency the Duke spread his palms and show a helpless smile. Although it looks weird to do this with a protective gear on your left hand, in Oprah's words: Thank God, you just hurt your left wrist a little bit. It doesn't even affect your performance on stage. Mimic Michael Jackson's classic dance.

Snoopy raised his eyebrows. He guessed that Oprah was always wearing white gloves when he teased Mr. Jackson about dancing.

Oprah was quick to ask about the hottest topic among gossip fans this time around: the Christmas mahjong incident.

However, as an orthodox talk show host, she just cut to the chase: Let's talk about Christmas. So, can you tell us, four different female stars who appeared in your house at Christmas Which one is your girlfriend? It looks like they all want to be the mistress of the house, but in fact they are extraordinarily reserved. There are even rumors that you have never had any emotional relationship with them at all Communication, everything that happened before was an illusion.”

I read those news reports, and I can only say that ninety-nine percent of the assumptions are wrong. Regarding the question of the hostess, I think this is a question that can only be answered at a wedding. Finally, I want to be serious Promote mahjong, a brain sport, which can effectively resolve differences, release stress, and generate great pleasure.

Duke Snoopy's reply was both official and slick.

Oprah did not continue to ask, leaving a huge suspense for the audience in front of the TV, and then moved on to the next topic.

In a friendly and cordial interview atmosphere, the show came to an end quickly, and Oprah also kindly promoted the Duke at the end of the show: Okay, dear Duke fans. Next Tuesday, You're going to see Snoopy at the MTV Awards. And next Saturday, he's doing his solo concert at Staples Arena. I'm sure you'll see a lot of what you're hoping for in both occasions. People who see it. Like Scarlett Johansson, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus...

While Oprah kept reporting her name, Snoopy quickly stepped forward and covered her mouth with his hand.

It looks ridiculous.

Comedy works to great effect.

But it did give the audience more expectations.
