Although Artest does not understand what it means to be a Chinese college student who has not passed the fourth level, he confirms that Doug is definitely not complimenting himself.

This confirmation is the same as Charles Barkley's bluffing and confirming that Snoopy has completed his jumper evolution.

"Wow! Snoopy has improved again!! He has completed two identical pick-and-rolls with Stephen Marbury in a row. They are becoming one of the best backcourt combinations in the league. Marbury must be self-defeating. My heartfelt thanks to Snoopy, this is the most suitable partner he has ever met in his career." Charles Barkley jumped up when the Duke hit the second jumper: "Poor Ron Artest, he Snoopy is always able to hit Snoopy, who has evolved his shooting ability. Last time, Snoopy hit the whole world on him. He was able to hit in-situ shots from beyond the three-point line. And tonight...he successfully completed twice. Mid-range jumper!"

Compared to Charles Barkley's flops, former Rockets defender Kenny Smith is still cautiously estimating, and he believes that Dugge still has a fluke.

However, Artest did not dare to continue betting.

When Vaughan Weaver’s shot was interrupted by Jeffries, Dugo took a rebound in the penalty area and passed it to Marbury and reached the front court. Artest did not continue to change defenses, but followed Dugo closely. .

However, it is a pity. Even if he didn't leave, he still couldn't stop Du Ge from putting the basketball into the hoop: as Stephen Marbury cut straight into the penalty area after the pick and roll, Du Ge also quickly moved in from another two lanes. The two plunged into the basket almost at the same time. After Marbury attracted double-teams under the basket, he quickly threw the ball into the air. Du Ge and Artest took off almost at the same time, but Du Ge, who was more resilient, grabbed the basketball ahead of time. And point the ball into the hoop...Why!

"This is talent crushing!" Earl Johnson said in the commentary: "When Snoopy is in the dominant position at the basket, you can hardly grab the basketball on his head. Marbury has indeed found the best fit for him. His teammates, his breakthrough ability and Snoopy's finishing ability, the chemical reaction produced is multiplied."

"Actually, the most important reason is that... the Rockets can no longer switch defenses as easily as the Spurs and Mavericks. Marbury is attacked by strikers and guards." Charles Barkley said: "Snoopy was on the free throw line twice in a row. The shot made Ron Artest lose sight of one another and he dared not let go of defense."

Charles Barkley hit the current dilemma on the Rockets' defensive end: they could no longer reproduce the ‘great tactics’ of the two Texas neighbors.

Moreover, on the offensive end, they also suddenly encountered a very strong defense situation. When Yao Xuan entered a rest state, they had four consecutive attacks to no avail.

The Knicks took advantage of this opportunity to tie the score.

Among them, Du Ge played a very important role. After he opened the situation with three consecutive goals, he began to play the role of high support. With his help, David Lee and Jeffries completed a shot and a bottom line layup respectively.

When the first quarter of the game has 1 minute 30 seconds left. Adelman requested a suspension.

At this time, Isaiah Thomas on the other side was also gearing up.

"Zach, Quentin, you come on to replace David Lee and Jared..."

He gave his order.

But before he could finish his words, Du Ge silently pulled him aside and made suggestions to him: "Sir, Dakko will continue to defend against Yao Huang. I think he should take the time to rest. Let Zha It's better for K to replace him. And Jared is playing very well now. He brings great defensive toughness to the team and he should stay on the court."

"But David Lee is from D'Antoni." Isaiah Thomas frowned. He caught the "loophole" in Du Ge's words, and he was very clear.

"No, he is a Knicks player." Doug stared into Isaiah Thomas's eyes. He said very seriously and frankly: "Our most important goal now is to make the playoffs, not to make a tactic. Competition. Actually, I don’t want to see...you divide and conquer.”

Isaiah Thomas also stared at Dug seriously: "Are you biased towards D'Antoni? Snoopy. Have you forgotten who brought you to the Knicks?"

"No, Isaiah. I have not forgotten who brought me to New York, and I definitely did not lean towards anyone else. I just want my team to win. As the mVp in the finals, I think you must be better than Mr. D'Antoni understands my thinking at the moment better."

Doug's words not only kept his honesty, but also put a high hat on Isaiah Thomas without showing a trace.

Isaiah Thomas was moved by Doug’s words. He patted Doug’s shoulder: "Snoopy, remember, we are all the same. Only I will understand your heart to chase victory, and only I can It’s the one who can get you to the finals mVp. So... I hope you can vote for me on some future choice."

Doug heard what Isaiah Thomas meant.

But he just smiled, and he didn't give a clear answer.

On this issue, he does not want to get involved too deeply. Everything is left to the time and management, what he has to do now is to win! !

Beep!

The whistle sounded.

Both sides did a rotation.

The Rockets' Ron Artest and Yao Xuan both returned to the bench, and the Rockets defending Doug became Sean Battier again.

However, Doug did not continue to stand to the free throw line, he walked directly into the paint area. Then, he became entangled with the Rockets' short forward Chuck Hayes.

Duge's early style of play is very similar to Chuck Hayes, and even on the initial draft website, Duge's best template is Chuck Hayes.

Because at that time Doug was once crowned as the'shortest center in the league'. And both of them have coping ability and tough defense, coupled with each other's very stable bottom game, so this contrast naturally arises.

However, with the passage of time, the more star potential in Doug is revealed, he is now more in the 1st position. And Chuck Hayes has been working hard as his inside bench because of his bounce and coordination, as well as his shooting flaws.

When Doug and Chuck Hayes played, he immediately felt the power of the ‘old tree rooted’. Hayes’ bottom plate was too stable, and his lower limb strength made Doug admire: He can play a center at a height of 198. He is really not a general player. The lower limb strength is stronger than me. No wonder he can let Stoudemire and Germany White Howard's flying forwards languished one after another.

But even so. Chuck Hayes still failed to reap the success in the duel with Dugge.

Although Dugge has a slightly weaker side game, his card position has not completely fallen into the decline. In the case of his better play, he has more rebounds than Hayes.

Moreover, on the offensive end, he can also pull outside to shoot, and at the same time open the breakthrough mode directly from outside the three-point line, forming a dislocation and aggressive effect.

And because of Doug's dislocation advantage, Zach Randolph and David Lee can easily pull to both ends of the free throw line to complete the jumper, and Marbury can break into the basket without any worries. As for Jeffries, with the help of Doug, he ate several loaves.

End of the first quarter, 31:27.

The Knicks in the away game led by 4 points instead.

At this time, Doug has already got the comprehensive data of 8 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block.

If you multiply it by four, you will not only get the eighth career triple-double, but also break the career scoring record.

Of course... Ron Artest's tongue must also be inserted into Adelman's mouth and washed.

Charles Barkley has already begun planning for this. Before the start of the game, he emphasized that he would never let Artest continue to play rogues, and that he would personally supervise his execution of the gambling contract.

At the same time, Artest's face had long been stretched longer than a donkey.

He was thinking about how to stop Doug from continuing to score.

Occasionally, I think about how to make Adelman's humanoid signage.

"Now, the most important thing is to win this game. We have to make sure to enter the playoffs as the third in the Western Conference, understand?" Adelman's voice sounded like thunder in his ears.

Artest nodded quickly.

The problem facing the Houston Rockets is very simple. If they enter the playoffs with the fourth place in the Western Conference, they will face the challenge of the fifth Portland Trail Blazers in the Western Conference. Similarly, this season's regular season record is also 2:2, so it is very unpredictable whether it can be promoted. Moreover, even if they eliminated the Blazers and entered the second round, their opponent would be the No. 1 Los Angeles Lakers in the West... This is definitely not a good opponent.

Therefore, the most important thing for the Rockets now is to avoid the fourth position and strive to lock in third place!

The second quarter of the game started soon.

The Rockets replaced Luis Scola, Chuck Hayes, Sean Battier, Ron Artest and Kyle Lowry on the defensive lineup.

The offensive ability of this lineup is weak, but the defensive toughness is full.

Correspondingly, the lineup replaced by the Knicks is Nate Robinson, Doug, Quentin Richardson, David Lee and Zach Randolph.

This is a pure offensive lineup.

It was as if the sharpest spear had hit the strongest shield.

However, the game was extremely gentle.

Although Adelman emphasized to Ron Artest that victory is the most important thing, he still a little bit careless when facing Dugge.

This makes Doug's serial work become very smooth, and when he doesn't score, his teammates have shots.

Although the Houston Rockets do not have an offensive strength, under the use of Princeton's tactics, they are still very easy to gain open positions and score goals.

As a result, the two sides moved forward with almost a fixed offensive efficiency. The Knicks always maintained a 3 to 4 point lead.

The scene was extremely harmonious, even though D'Antoni replaced Milicic and Gallinari in the fifth minute of the second quarter.

This kind of harmony makes Adelman secretly happy, because as long as the difference is not widened, he will not go to Yao Xuan, let Yao Xuan rest and raise his spirits, and wait until the critical moment to go up and take over the game.

Ron Artest is happier because Dugge's score is always stable at 8 points.

The first half ended soon~lightnovelpub.net~ The Knicks led by 4 points.

Doug still has 8 points, but his assists have reached 9 times and 7 rebounds have been accounted for. If there is no accident, he will get the eighth career triple-double in this game.

However, this is not in Artest's jurisdiction, so he appears very calm.

Calmly, he even began to think: Wouldn't the two previous jumpers of the Duke Dog scare me? If he really has the ability to shoot a jumper, can he resist a game without shooting? ?

In fact, Kenny Smith is also discussing this matter at this time.

"Since Snoopy has scored two jumpers, he has never attempted to shoot again. On the contrary, he has always used Artest's panic against him to create breakthroughs, and used this to connect his teammates to help the team halftime. Lead by 4 points."

"Frankly speaking, there is something weird about this matter. I guess Adelman should have seen through Snoopy's bluff. So, he kept Yao on the bench to accumulate energy. If my estimation is correct, I will wait until the second half. , Houston will definitely have a reaping competition like a broken bamboo!"

This statement was not opposed by Barkley and Johnson, because it sounds very reasonable. Yao Huang, who rested for the second quarter, did have more stamina, which would make him more dominant in the paint in the second half.

In contrast, the Knicks in the previous two games were beaten to a crash in the third quarter. Their lineup simply can't stand the onslaught from the strong team in the third quarter. Obviously, this situation will not be structurally changed because of Snoopy, even if he really finds a jumper feel.

At the same time, Stephen Marbury suddenly had a fierce argument with D'Antoni in the dressing room!
