News about Josh Smith deflated after the game and the Duke heroic exploding the provocateurs aroused the extreme comfort of New York fans the next day. The two-game winning streak at home also dispelled the dismal suspicion of six preseason losses.

　　 At the same time, Snoopy finally got the approval of some professional commentators, and they finally began to truly treat Doug as a star player. Prior to this, the players considered qualified to be stars in the 2008 session were Derek Rose, Russell Westbrook, Kevin Love, Michael Beasley and OJ Mayo. Doug has always been regarded as a top blue-collar... Even when he won the best rookie last year, there are some people who are in conspiracy theories, saying that it is the relationship behind Nike.

　　 As for the rookie leading the team to the finals, it is called lucky.

　　 This has to be said to be a kind of prejudice.

　　 From the comparison of intuitive impressions, Ross, Westbrook, Love, Beasley and even Mayo do have a more eye-catching offensive performance. Especially Derek Rose, his terrifying breakthrough ability, coupled with first-class organizational ability, even called the representative of the next superstar. His upper limit was once thought to be far ahead of Doug.

　　 Even now, commentators still believe that Derrick Rose’s upper limit is higher.

　　 For many experts, Snoopy just broke the threshold of a star. Regarding his upper limit, they are still cautious.

　　Because, compared to Ross and Westbrook, these players are terrifying players. Snoopy is more like an insider, although he now has superb ball handling skills and a certain amount of back singles skills. However, put him under the standards of perimeter players. His various dynamic physical qualities...speed, explosiveness, take-off height with the ball, waist and abdomen strength, flexibility are all at a disadvantage.

　　 Just like Derek Rose, he can change the direction and sway the opponent without stepping on the brakes at absolute high speed. Westbrook can also break into the restricted area bluntly like a bull and end the fight with a forceful dunk.

　　These things are the most important indicators for judging the potential space of young players. This is why the top few players who dominate the lottery show every year are always some of the ‘antelope elk’ players who are outstanding in running and jumping.

　　Duge occasionally looks at these analysis predictions.

　　 In fact, he also agrees with this statement. The difference in physical fitness will indeed determine the upper limit. However, Doug has confidence in the energy in his body. He believes that one day when he releases them, he will be able to change directions at a high speed like Derrick Rose, and he will be able to smash Huashan straight and back like Westbrook.

　　 Now, the most important thing is to accumulate enough technology and experience before the physical fitness is fully developed.

　　 Talent is like a pool. Technical experience and basketball wisdom are the channels for drainage. No matter how large the talent pool is, without these channels for drainage, there will not be much water left. Instead, it will dry up with the passage of time and the sun.

　　 On the second day after the Knicks defeated the Eagles, the club officially announced the addition of Jeff Van Gundy.

　　 The news of Van Gundy's return to New York instantly detonated the entire basketball world.

　　 He once built an iron-blooded division in the Big Apple City, leaving behind many images that New York fans will remember.

　　 Especially on May 30, 1998, the eighth-seeded New York Knicks in the East met the top-seeded Miami Heat in the first round of the playoffs. Near the end of the first round, the Knicks' Larry Johnson slammed Heat center Mourning, Mourning punched. Larry Johnson and Alonzo Mourning fought. Van Gundy ran into the field for the first time to pull the frame. In order to protect the players, he hugged Mourning's thigh tightly and was dragged several meters away on the floor by the powerful Mourning. After the game, reporter Barker described: "For a while, Jeff was even taken off the floor by Mourning's feet, like a hammock." Since then, Van Gundy has been nicknamed "Hammock." Deep eye sockets, bloodshot eyes, this fight allows fans to always remember the image of this New York vampire.

　　 It is worth mentioning that it is also this season. He led the Miami Heat, which lacked the Knicks to eliminate the New York rebels and was also led by his teacher Pat Riley, and entered the finals with a black eight. That year, he was 37 years old. It is still the youngest coach in the NBA Finals.

　　 "The New York Gangs set sail again!"

　　 Welcome Jeff Van Gundy's return with this title.

　　 Regardless of how the Rockets fans view Van Gundy, in the hearts of New York fans, Van Gundy's status has always been very high. He led Ewing, Starks, Oakley, Larry Johnson, and Spurneville to create an extremely glorious era in the history of the Knicks.

　　 The New York style at the time was extremely tough, and it was recognized as the most gangsta team in the league.

　　 And now, after the Knicks got Snoopy, consecutively selected Matthews, James Johnson, and traded to Kirk Sinrich, the defensive temperament has suddenly increased.

　　 This makes the fans full of expectations, after all, Jeff Van Gundy is known for his iron defense.

　　 Those professional basketball media also believe that this is a deal to enhance the Knicks' combat effectiveness, and the arrival of Jeff Van Gundy will have the effect of increasing the authority of the coaching staff. The weak and groundless Herb Williams needs such a strong assistant coach.

　　 However, there are also concerns about whether Snoopy can get along with the powerful Jeff Van Gundy.

The famous Duke Black, Bill Simmons bluntly released a mockery in his column: "The time for Snoopy to cover the sky has passed. Jeff Van Gundy is not as good as Herb Williams, much less like D'Antoni and Isaiah. Thomas is so easy to use. He wants to play that kind of naive locker room politics in front of Jeff Van Gundy. I guess he will immediately be treated as a defensive coolie, averaging 48 minutes a game, and he doesn't have a shot."

　　 What Bill Simmons said is actually what Chinese fans are worried about. Chinese fans have deep prejudice against this rigid and blunt coach. He is recognized as a third-rate coach by Chinese fans. He only knows that he is the main force and lacks tactical changes. In each game, there is no on-the-spot scheduling except for digging a note in a crumpled suit pocket.

　　 In this voice, the Knicks lost their first game of the 2009-10 season.

　　 In the home game against the San Antonio Spurs, New York played very jerky. Their offense stalled, and they only scored 89 points that night.

　　 This is called typical Van Gundy data.

　　 However, the San Antonio Spurs on the opposite side scored 111 points. Among them, Tim Duncan scored 31 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists with a super three yuan.

　　 Zach Randolph, who was against him, made 5 of 17 shots, 14 points and 7 rebounds, without any level.

　　Dugger's performance was not satisfactory. He made 4 of 15 shots, 11 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists.

　　 The shooting percentages of the two inner and outer cores did not exceed 30%. Wanting to win is simply a dream. What's more, the opponent is the San Antonio Spurs.

　　 After this game, Doug tried to communicate with Zach Randolph. But Randolph left the locker room early, and he didn't seem to have any idea of ​​cooperating with Dugge.

　　 He refused three consecutive pick-and-roll suggestions with Snoopy during the game. He stayed deep in the penalty area throughout the game and kept playing single Tim Duncan.

　　 Duncan in 2009 did not lose weight. With his physique once able to defend against sharks alone, Zach Randolph's singles was extremely inefficient. Moreover, he also refused to pass the ball to outside teammates.

　　 When the basketball is passed to him, it stops automatically. At first, Gallinari, Wesley Matthews and others were still running, but then they stopped and watched him writhe.

　　 This is undoubtedly the morale damage.

　　 "He is already wooing players."

　　Marbury told Dugge: "He wants Jeffries, David Lee, and Eddie Curry to be his helpers."

　　 In addition to propaganda work, the old horse is also responsible for intelligence and the thoughts of the players. He suggested to Doug: "Give him five games. If he continues to adopt this uncooperative attitude, my suggestion is to adopt a locker room isolation strategy... let him enter the inactive list. Wait until the trading window opens, immediately let him The management traded him out."

　　Doug pursed his mouth, he realized that he had to tear off the mask of the ‘good old man’ about this matter.

　　 He has clearly seen Zachrandorf’s demands. Under the current circumstances, unity will be destroyed by compromise, unity will survive through struggle.

　　 "Jeff Van Gundy, don't you really want to do some activities?"

Stephen Marbury worries about another issue: "Recently, Jeffries and Zach Randolph have been close to Stan Van Gundy. Obviously they wanted to tie up with Van Gundy's bald head. They even encouraged them. Jeff Van Gundy replaced Herb Williams."

　　 Du Ge heard this and smiled.

　　 He didn't know why things happened like this. When Jeff Van Gundy walked into the training hall, Jeffries and Zach Randolph went up for friendship for the first time, and they seemed to talk very happily.

　　 And Doug is not a person who likes to talk to people during training time, he simply ignores Jeff Van Gundy.

　　 Jeff Van Gundy did not deliberately greet Doug.

　　 And, in the subsequent adjustment of defensive tactics, Jeff Van Gundy clearly pointed out: "We want to weaken Snoopy's role in the defensive system ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ other players should add in."

　　 His words immediately gave the players some associations: Jeff Van Gundy hates Snoopy, right?

　　 Then, he emphasized the important role of Zach Randolph in the defensive system.

　　 This gave Randolph an illusion, making him think that Jeff Van Gundy was an object to fight for.

　　 So, he followed Van Gundy almost every day, even training became more active.

　　 Moreover, he has repeatedly promised to support Van Gundy as the team's head coach, and he will definitely unite closely with him to overcome difficulties for him.

　　 When Jeff Van Gundy told Doug these flattering words on the phone at night, Doug felt numb. He didn't expect Zachrandorf to say those things.

　　 "At least his defensive attitude is getting more and more positive now, so let him flatter you. Anyway, if you have one more flattery, you may be in a better mood." Doug smiled and suggested Jeff Van Gundy.

　　 Jeff Van Gundy said angrily: "Oh, no! This will only make my mood worse."

　　 "I feel like I am an undercover agent for the FBI. I am obviously working for you, but they regard me as the biggest hole card to bring you down. This is ridiculous."

　　 Jeff Van Gundy said grimly: "To be honest, I have never seen such a stupid person. As long as their heads are slightly normal, they shouldn't set their competitors to be you. He can't win this internal competition."

　　Doug shrugged, he also hoped Randolph was just confused for a while.
