Guard With a Knife

~: Twenty-six: [The Shame of New York]

If Pat Riley's anger spreads out, basketball experts will definitely find it incredible. It even sounds a bit like ‘get it cheap and sell it well’.

After all, the Heat only spent a first-round draft pick that had fallen out of the lottery to get Snoopy plus a million in cash.

However, what they get from New York is three first-round picks plus 2.7 million in cash (part of which is a special transaction).

This is an extremely simple math problem.

Even elementary school students know how much difference Miami makes as a middleman.

However, here in Pat Riley, he does not want to be a middleman. Snoopy's talent was the first to unearth him, and he developed a pure center who can't dribble at all into a swingman who can play a point guard for at least ten minutes in the NBA. However, he could not continue digging.

It's like a gold mine. He traded it an hour before the treasure was about to be dug out, although he earned a price three times higher than the purchase price. But what if gold is actually dug up?

In case Snoopy really becomes a veritable All-Star player, or even a superstar.

Then Pat Riley will definitely regret his intestines.

But... this is nothing else. Snoopy has reached a bottleneck in Miami, and his style of playing is bound to affect his coexistence with Dwyane Wade. Pat Riley can send Sean Marion away for Doug’s growth, and even hard-hearted. Choose between the talented Beasley. But... to make a choice between him and Dwyane Wade, his answer will always be Dwyane Wade who is still at its peak.

So, maybe this is a wrong transaction.

But... is also an unavoidable transaction.

Thinking of this, Pat Riley felt a little better.

...

At the same time, Snoopy in Madison Garden in New York is still showing great power. The loose defense of the young team of the Memphis Grizzlies became his actual practice field. He played an excellent chemistry with Zach Randolph, and Nate Robinson also scored several open layups because of the habit of slipping the bottom line.

In addition, Quentin Richardson has also integrated into this new system driven by Snoopy because of his performance outside the three-point line.

Only Wilt Chandler, he seemed at a loss. He, who was originally the second firepower point outside the Knicks, seemed to have nothing to do, he couldn't get involved at all.

However, he is still active on the defensive end.

The result of this is: 55:61.

The New York Knicks at home played a 6-point lead in the second quarter.

Among them, Zach Randolph scored 16 points in a single quarter, 12 points from Du Ge's direct assists. And Du Ge set a record for his personal assists in a single quarter, he scored a record of 8 assists in a single quarter.

"It seems that the trade for Zachrandorf can be temporarily put on hold." James Dolan took the initiative to turn around and tell Donny Walsh before halftime.

This sentence made Isaiah Thomas, who was sitting next door to Dolan, raise his eyebrows, and he won another victory.

Although Donny Walsh was very upset that Isaiah Thomas's villain was successful, he also knew that from the time when Snoopy and Zach Randolph played the best. His decision to trade the old cat Mobley and Kurt Thomas would have to be thrown into the trash can.

However, he was still a little unexpected about this happening: how could Snoopy and Zach Randolph be so in harmony?

"Snoopy's ability to break through and get rid of defense is still only the league average. He needs Randolph's huge body as a cover. And Randolph is an all-around offensive weapon. When he pulls out the screen, the defense is bound to be involved. This will make Snoopy's breakthrough more lethal, and when Snoopy goes deep into the basket, he can easily feed Randolph back and make his offensive more efficient. And on the defensive end, Randolph and Snoopy Nubby also produced an effect of one plus one greater than two. Randolph had always been known for his defensive slack before, but with his mobile Snoopy, the line of defense was immediately strengthened..."

Earl Johnson carefully analyzed why Snoopy and Randolph were in such a match when evaluating the ball in the midfield.

"I said long ago that we are a natural couple."

Zach Randolph was particularly relaxed in the locker room. He even slapped his chest and said: "This season, we must make the playoffs!!"

"Yes, we want to make the playoffs!! We want to win the championship! New York championship!!"

Nate Robinson immediately stood on the chair and responded loudly. He was particularly excited after dunking two baskets in the second quarter.

This made D'Antoni roll his eyes next to him.

The Knicks have played 41 games and only won 10 games.

Although in the East, as long as you can win about 35 games to enter the playoffs, ... this means that the next 43 games must have a winning rate of more than 50%.

D'Antoni looked around for a week, and he felt that he wanted to make the playoffs just with these old, weak and sick, plus those two ‘headless’ and ‘unhappy’? Dream it! Or, if you ask Randolph for some tobacco, it's more realistic for everyone to be happy together.

"Be low-key." Zachrandorf walked over to warn Nate Robinson: "This is the first season I and Snoopy have formed an internal and external dual-core, and I want to give other teams some room for reverie. I think I have scored in the East. The final will be fine."

"Three cores!" Robinson quickly stretched out three fingers: "The Big Three are popular now!"

Randolph chuckled, and Robinson also laughed.

Then, everyone else in the locker room laughed loudly.

Some simply think it is funny, some are mocking.

Only Stephen Marbury looked calm. He looked incompatible with this world in a straight suit. He picked up his backpack: "If there is nothing wrong, I will go back first."

He greeted D'Antoni and walked straight out of the locker room.

No one feels strange about his behavior...except for Doug.

The former New York son now sees no hope in the Knicks. Now the Knicks are discussing the possibility of buying out the contract with his agent. The two sides are deadlocked because of the $1 million.

New York does not intend to pay him the full annual salary of nearly 20 million U.S. dollars, only willing to pay 8.8 million U.S. dollars. And Stephen Marbury insisted on 9.8 million.

This problem should be resolved in the next few days, after all... James Dolan was never known for being stingy.

And Isaiah Thomas, who once tore his face with Stephen Marbury because of the'Indecent Black Aunt Case', has long claimed that he is inconsistent with Marbury~lightnovelpub.net~ Now he is back in New York, Stephen Marbury naturally He is his number one cleaning target.

Similarly, he is also D'Antoni's number one cleaning target.

It is also the shame of New York that everyone shouts and beats in the Big Apple.

He messed up everything, and he obviously couldn't stay in the Knicks anymore.

"I'm learning to change direction. I often watch his video teaching. He is a very good breakthrough." Doug asked puzzled Zach Randolph next to him: "Why can't he play now?"

Randolph shrugged, then circled his fingers around the locker room, and then around the outside: "No one likes him here, and no one outside likes him."

"Oh, no. I still like him very much. When I was a rookie, he gave me a car. Although it was second-hand, I still sometimes drive it for outings." Nate next door Robinson spoke.

Then, Jamal Crawford on the opposite side took a look at D'Antoni and added: "He is a good man. He still has energy in his fuel tank, but he has to find a new position for himself."

Then again, no more.

It sounded that he was really unwelcome, only two people in the huge dressing room were willing to speak for him.

Doug frowned, and when D'Antoni picked up the tactical board to prepare for the second half, he cleared his mind. He had no intention of becoming a savior, nor did he intend to act as a saint to regulate Marbury's relationship with the world.

However, he discovered one thing. That is... There is no leader player in this locker room.
