Guard With a Knife

Chapter 476: [Tested rotten tofu]

Regarding ESPN's eagerness to get the message from Duke Snoopy, Zach Randolph quickly gave the answer. He appeared at the post-match press conference with a smile on his face. Undoubtedly, tonight is one of the masterpieces of his career.

Playing less than 30 minutes, scored 41 points and 14 rebounds with a super-high shooting percentage and led the team to reverse and win.

When reporters repeated this data, they couldn't help but sigh, this is simply the story template of a superstar.

In fact, Fatty Lan also got the respect of the players in the locker room. Stephen Marbury praised him with a series of very'official' words, although he used to feel a bit awkward about'outstanding team players, loyal locker room friends, and tried-and-tested inside barriers', but when these praises fell on He couldn't help but smile happily on his own head.

Then he hugged Stephen Marbury in a comradely mood.

He actually started to enjoy this team atmosphere.

Then, he was brought to the post-match press conference by the team's public relations manager Tony Johnson. He enjoyed the treatment of being interviewed by all the media alone. When he walked into the speaker booth, he swore that this was one of the few experiences in his life. Applause from all New York reporters.

He was a little embarrassed. Then, he saw the New York Times reporter stand up and praise him, and thanked him for bringing a superstar-like dominance performance.

This made Zach Randolph feel as if he was riding a rocket straight into the clouds.

"I have to thank the guys behind me. We are a team. We no longer rob a game like a gang committing crimes. We attack like an army. Each of us has our own position, so we can rest assured Give my back to my teammates... Without them, I would never be so easy on the offensive end!"

Zach Randolph even remained humble in front of the media.

However, in ESPN, a reporter from the New York Times even praised you as the number one power forward in the NBA, but there are still many people who lock this name as Stoudemire, or Tim Duncan or Nowitzki. What do you think? ", he replied very seriously; "I think I am the number one."

This answer caused some uproar and applause at the scene.

New York reporters certainly think that this super double-double forward with 40+ is the league's number one power forward, but obviously, other reporters don't think so.

Subsequently, ESPN asked another sharp question: "Tonight, Snoopy gave up a lot of mobile phone meetings. He has always been based on defense and support. Do you think your perfect performance has something to do with him? Or, it is because of him. Your sacrifice caused your glory?"

This problem is full of pitfalls.

However, Randolph avoided it perfectly. His emotional intelligence seemed to be blessed by God suddenly. He even smiled and said, "Hey, buddy. We are a team, and everything we do is to win. Of course. , I am very grateful to Snoopy, he made me stronger, there is no doubt about it."

"There are always people who misunderstand the normal operation of a team. It's like a lot of people criticize Stoudemire, thinking that it is because of Stephen Nash that he became the league's top forward, but everyone knows that they are inseparable. . Just like me and Snoopy!"

Zach Randolph’s high EQ was surprising. Afterwards, he even commented on the NBA’s hottest current affairs news in awe-inspiring manner: "I will never play gambling games with rookie in the locker room. I never did. . Not to mention that he would not pull out his pistol just because of a small amount of poor gambling. This is an unreasonable madness! Arenas must make a sincere apology to the public, and he has to realize that his behavior is harmful to the NBA. It's all a huge injury."

This sounds a bit dark and humorous, Randolph wasn't in this posture before.

The reporters at the scene even wanted to pry open Zac's head to see what surprising changes were inside.

...

In the sports media that day, Zachrandorf undoubtedly became the protagonist, and his magical performance was uniformly praised. ESPN even included his name on the discussion list of ‘who is the league’s top power forward today’ and put it on the homepage of its website.

This time it became a hot topic in basketball forums. And there are many voting pages. In these pages, without exception, Tim Duncan is the person with the highest number of votes. Although some people say that he is getting older, his position is still unbreakable.

Stoudemire got the second most votes. Since the Sharks left, he has gained greater autonomy, and he even hopes to take the lead in scoring this season.

Then... it turned out to be Zach Randolph, with Nowitzki and Kevin Garnett behind him.

And this... actually did not trigger a lot of protests. After all, Nowitzki’s fans are known for their Buddhism. Although the German tanks have always been in the first camp at the power forward position, they dominate the Western Conference starting roster all the time. But in fact, he has never competed for the position of the league's first power forward. He has been shrouded in the shadow of two No. 21s since entering the league. Over time, the fans also looked down on these rankings. Only when it comes to the real fire, will the proud statistics and the honor of the regular season MVP be presented.

As for KG fans, they are now more keen to discuss how to get a finals MVP trophy. They have been indifferent to Garnett's personal honor. After all, KG received almost all personal honors at the beginning of this century. During that time, he even suppressed Tim Duncan.

Such comparisons and voting are actually not uncommon. They happen in a loop almost every day, and the named players rarely respond.

However, this time, three parties actually responded.

The first is Tim Duncan. The'veteran' who has maintained a steady style of play for ten years, can output 20+10 every night, and has surpassed Karl Malone in the historical rankings, was the first to express his views on Randolph. Appreciation: "He is extremely talented and has perfect offensive skills. With the help of Snoopy, he has the opportunity to become one of the best power forwards in the league. In fact, I am already a fan of him."

Tim Duncan's appreciation of Randolph has a long history, and he is not a person who minds others taking his ‘shame’ away. He is known as the most humble and low-key star in the history of the NBA. Therefore, when the reporter asked him this question, he frankly praised him.

However, Stoudemire is obviously a little sensitive to some of Randolph's remarks, and Stoudemire, who has recently been arguing with the Phoenix media, is full of anger. Phoenix's record this season has not been satisfactory to the fans, and the Suns management is believed to have done everything they can do for Stoudemire... They sent away Shaq who had occupied Amare's offensive space. O'Neal, and on the offensive end increased the number of offenses with the ball.

However, the record did not meet the expectations of the fans. And Stoudemire rejected an early contract extension this summer. This contract was indeed a bit unsatisfactory at the time, and the Sun did not give the maximum salary. This made Stoudemire think he was not respected.

Now... There is a lot of media rumours that Stoudemire will jump out of the player option next summer and become a free agent... In this way, Phoenix will undoubtedly suffer heavy losses, or even nothing. So... now there are voices that the Suns intend to trade Stoudemire in exchange for some potential players or draft picks in order to achieve the goal of rapid reconstruction.

New York is the most mentioned name. Gentry has shown his love for Matthews and James Johnson, two hardline defensive niches, even though he already owns Grant Hill and Jason Richardson.

"Zachrandorf's play last night was like a lazy sloth. All his goals were fed to him by Snoopy himself. He didn't have to do any work on the court at all, Snoopy. Will help him defend, help him attract the defense, and even help him break the defender. Stephen and I have never cooperated so closely. We just pick and roll, and then each releases surging energy."

"It is unfair to compare him with me. I don't like such discussions."

Stoudemire told the camera that a reporter then asked about his trading rumors. Recently, a lot of rumors have been showing that the Sun uniforms no longer want to continue the lead with the 2002 No. 9 pick. If a team is willing to take over, they are willing to trade.

However, there is a big uncertainty in this. Stoudemire will be a completely free agent next year. God knows if he will sign with the trading team at that time. No one wants to play the game.

"This has nothing to do with me, I just want to play seriously." Stoudemire replied calmly, and he refused to answer any questions about the transaction.

But then, people around him spread the news that Stoudemire intends to return to his hometown to play for New York.

Such rumors make Stoudemire’s criticism of Zachrandorf seem to have ulterior motives, at least not without purpose.

In fact, some speculations came out in New York at this time: Why not trade Stoudemire for Randolph?

This kind of speculation was quickly rejected by the New York media. They thought Randolph was better. Although Stoudemire is the first person to face offensively at the current league power forward position and the first person to receive the ball in the pick and roll. Combine the best strikers with technology. But... the chemistry between Zach Randolph and Lord Duke is inseparable, and no one wants to dismantle the situation when they easily defeated the knight.

In a sense, Zachrandorf has become the absolute hope of the Knicks inside through a game.

And, in the next second game, he also proved this. He scored 49 points against the Charlotte Bobcats and scored 9 rebounds. The Bobcats are ambitious under the leadership of Larry Brown this year, frantically testing the edge of the playoffs. But the 123:92 massacre left Larry Brown faceless, especially when he saw Isaiah Thomas in a suit shouting from the sidelines.

The Qiansheng coach left a disgraceful record in New York. At the time, everyone thought it was a problem caused by the chaotic players and the chaotic management.

But now, Isaiah Thomas is still there, Zachrandorf is still there, and Eddie Curry is also... but the Knicks are already a strong style in the east.

Moreover, Randolph turned out to be a super power forward. At the same time, Milicic, the rookie who was given up by him, also played a career masterpiece for the Knicks. Tonight, he has 12 points, 15 rebounds, 3 blocks and 1 steal. His next contract is at least $10 million.

There is no doubt that Larry Brown encountered the most important Waterloo in his life in Madison Garden.

All the people who had been despised by him and abandoned by him all stood up and attacked themselves with butcher knives.

"Snoopy is the soul of New York. He revitalized the entire tactical system and made every player appear in a position that suits them. If I coach him, I won't restrict him in any way, even if he straps the duke to him. To the training ground."

When the old-school academy, Larry Brown, said these words~lightnovelpub.net~, it really makes people feel a sense of absurdity of time and space disorder. Is this still the militarized Larry Brown? Was this still the stubborn coach who had a harsh, iron-blooded fallout with Iverson and Marbury?

"Everyone must thank that Chinese boy, whether it's Stephen Marbury, or Zach Randolph, or Milicic, Isaiah Thomas, it was Snoopy's arrival that saved their career. I haven't had it in the past. Make any mistakes, I just didn't get my Duke Snoopy. That's it!"

Larry Brown finally made a summary statement with a green face. He didn't want to stay under the spotlight of New York for a long time, because the mean New York reporter gave him a sense of humiliation after the fall.

But in fact, New York reporters agreed with his final conclusion, and everyone believed that Snoopy changed everything. But...it should be ridiculed, the New York media will never be soft-mouthed. They use their actual actions to prove why there is a saying: If you love someone, send him to New York. If you hate someone, send him to New York.

Kevin Garnett obviously doesn't like New York a bit, he made a long talk before going to New York. From last year’s finals to the sudden emergence of Zach Randolph this year. This is the first time the Celtics have played against the Knicks this season. He looked full of anger.

In a sense, when he glared in front of the camera.

Duke Snoopy also contained some kind of flame deep in his heart, and he didn't know why he appeared in the high-end villa on Long Island. Britney said to bring him over to meet the world, and then he met Taylor Swift here.

This looks like a careful pre-planning.
