After the game, Smith commented on the performance of the Knicks in the last three games.

"The Knicks already have an opportunity to rise. Duke will be their future. The Knicks should build their team around him."

"But obviously the current lineup of the Knicks is a bad team in my words. The combat power index given by ESPN even ranks them in the bottom two in the East, and D'Antoni's bombardment system can't be shown here. "

"It's time for Dolan to use your power!"

Smith's words have also been recognized by many netizens.

"If Dolan can build a team around Duke, it's just hot pants!"

"It's time for Dolan to play. This year's best sixth man depends on Dolan's operation."

"Hehe, I still don't trust Dolan. Even if Duke is selected this time, it's just a fool. Look who he gave the big contract to!"

Of course, not everyone agrees with Smith. The speech of a senior media person named Okan Lugo has also been surrounded by many people.

"It's impossible for the Knicks to reach the sky in one step. Isiah Thomas left too many bad contracts for the team. I think Dolan should follow Donnie Walsh's strategy and get rid of the team's garbage first. The contract is cleared out, the salary space is freed up, and in exchange for a large number of draft picks, the focus is on the 11-year free market."

"Duke is good, but now he is too immature to support the team's appearance. It will take two years for him to grow up. At that time, the free market will sign superstars, and then Duke will assist. Maybe there is no chance. Go touch the O'Brien Cup..."

The two even had an air-to-air confrontation on social media.

When Duke brushed up on Okan Lugo's point of view, he became furious and asked himself to assist others?What are you kidding?Jordan has no such qualifications!

"Okan Lugo, right? I remember you." Duke added another person to his list of enemies.

......

Three days later, on October 10, it was still Madison Square Garden.

The Knicks ushered in the challenge of the New Jersey Nets.

At this time, the Nets were no longer as brave as they used to be. The disbandment of the Trident made the competitiveness of the ball decline year by year, leaving only one Vince Carter struggling to support.

Frequent injuries have also caused Carter's state to gradually decline, and his scoring average even dropped to 21 points last season.

It is worth mentioning that the UAE was also traded to the Nets by the Bucks this season.

When Duke came forward to say hello, the UAE was still a little surprised. Although the two played for Guangdong Hongyuan together, they did not play at the same time after all. Duke's enthusiasm caught him by surprise.

The two exchanged pleasantries and returned to their respective benches not long after, because the game was about to start.

Knicks starting: point guard: Duke, shooting guard: Crawford, small forward: Quentin - Richardson, power forward: Malik - Rose, center: David Lee.

Nets starter: point guard: Devin Harris, shooting guard: Vince Carter, small forward: Bobby Simmons, power forward: Yi Jianlian, center: Brook Lopez.

David Lee's jump ball lost to Lopez again, and the Nets got the first round of the game.

Facing Devin Harris with the ball, Duke didn't dare to be careless. The current Devin Harris' offensive ability is still good.

Devin Harris did not rush to attack, but handed the ball to the team leader Carter, and Carter made a direct move.

"Bang!"

The Nets announced the end of the first round.

I don't know if it's because of the fierce battle with the Celtics yesterday, the Nets look very out of shape today, and the defense looks very stretched.

Seeing the right time, Duke put into fifth gear and accelerated wildly, leaving the Nets behind in an instant.

"Dunk!"

The easy dunks made Duke very happy, because he has not had such an easy way to score in nearly three games.

The head coach of the Nets was very dissatisfied with the team's lazy attitude and yelled from the sidelines.

In stark contrast to the fans cheering loudly at the scene, today the scene is still full, and there is no lack of attendance due to the three-game losing streak. Perhaps this is the advantage of a big ball market, not to mention that today we are playing against the Nets. There is still great hope.

Duke's fast break seems to have touched the switch of the bombardment, and the Nets also accelerated their offensive rhythm after serving the ball.

Devin Harris is also running all the way with the ball. He is more suitable for fast-paced running and bombing basketball, rather than half-court offense.

But Duke has always followed him closely and was not thrown off by him. It is obvious that he met his nemesis today, and Duke completely suppressed him in terms of speed.

Seeing that he didn't get rid of Duke in terms of speed, Devin Harris tried to fight physically.

"boom!"

It also didn't fall in the slightest.

Devin Harris smiled wryly, knowing that he had suffered today, but the bombardment eventually fell into positional warfare.

At this time, the UAE suddenly ran up to cover, and Devin Harris used this to get rid of the entanglement of the UAE and enter the inside line, facing Malik Rose's second pass to the UAE.

"Dunk!"

Ah Lian responded with a dunk.

Before the two had time to celebrate, the Knicks bombarded them again.

Duke made a flat attack to the frontcourt, attracting two double-teams to Crawford at the top of the arc. Crawford made a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

shoot with great precision.

Immediately afterwards, Carter, the star of the Nets, also came, one-stop to the inside and one-handed dunk.

The aesthetically pleasing dunk also aroused cheers from the Knicks fans. The popularity of the former All-Star ticket king in the United States is not covered.

Duke watched with envy for a while, and secretly decided that he must fill up the dunk in the future.

The bombardment attack from both sides made everyone in the auditorium mesmerized. This smooth attack was exactly what they expected to see. Of course, it would be even better if the team won.

The Knicks on the field also heard their voices, and the offense became more and more violent.

First, Crawford broke through to the inside and played Lopez with a layup.

Immediately afterwards, Duke also rushed to the inside to attract two double-teams, and a second pass to Konglan's David Lee dunked successfully.

The excited Duke then hit a three-pointer with a fast break.

"Wow......"

This three-pointer directly detonated the audience.

The head coach of the Nets quickly called a timeout.

After returning from the timeout, the Nets played a positional battle, trying to control the rhythm in their own hands.

But their weak defense couldn't stop the Knicks who were already playing high and bombed wildly.

The touch is contagious, and the Knicks' three-pointer today is a good proof of this.

After Duke and Crawford opened three-pointers, Chris Duhon and Wilson Chandler also opened one after another.

In the end, the Nets lost without any suspense, and Xiti lost three games in a row.

Duke clocked in three quarters, scored 23 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, and at the same time ended the team's three-game losing streak.
