Originally in Spoelstra's plan, he wanted to use the just-traded Jermaine O'Neal plus Haslem to lead the rotation in the second quarter.

However, since Snoopy made the request, he still agreed and arranged for Mario Chalmers, Dorell Wright, James Jones, Doug, Jermaine O'Neal to play.

After suffering a major injury, O'Neal has not been in his peak state for a long time. In the last game, he was even beaten by Tyson Chandler in New Orleans. He played 25 minutes in the game, making 2 of 9 shots and only scoring 6 points and 4 rebounds. On the defensive end, there is no sense of existence. Whether it is the cooperation with Michael Beasley or the partner with Haslem, there is no tacit understanding.

This made Spoelstra sighed directly to Pat Riley on the phone, and he bluntly said: "Jermaine is no longer the super power forward comparable to Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan. .

O'Neal was able to sign a seven-year, $120 million contract with the Pacers that year was not an understatement. With a height of 211 cm, he not only has an excellent wingspan, but also has agility and excellent footwork. He also has a certain amount of back-body skills plus mid-range jump shots. He turned around with the face frame and left and right hands. And this is not all his strengths, his strongest place lies in his defense.

At the beginning, he played a defensive centerline in the Pacers and once played a defensive known as the ‘suffocating current’. He, Artest and Stephen Jackson are very good at compressing space, and the rhythm control on the defensive end is even more outstanding.

If you want to give him a template, it's Chris Bosh, who has improved defensive skills, improved back skills, and full shots. In that power forward's heyday, he even got 85 abilities in the NBA-live04 game, overpowering Nowitzki, second only to Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett and Chris Webber.

But now, Spoelstra didn't even know what position to give him, he looked extraordinarily free.

Beep!

The whistle sounded and the game continued.

The Thunder's rotation lineup is led by Westbrook, with Joe Smith, Ibaka, Mason and Weaver playing with him.

If the Thunder's starting lineup represents talent, then his rotation lineup can undoubtedly be described as ‘tattered’.

No one knows where Presti found these scraps, but in any case, these people have brought a healthy salary space to the Thunder.

On the first ball after the start of the game, Doug played an amazing chemical reaction with Jermaine O'Neal who met for the first time.

When Westbrook killed Mario Chalmers' defense with an unreasonable change and slammed into the paint, Doug immediately moved forward and made a squeeze space to force him to the left where he was not good at. Lu's defensive strategy.

At this moment, O'Neal evaded Joe Smith's defense line with a vigorous heart. When Westbrook used Smith's cover to jump to the hoop, and then soared to the sky for dunks, Jermaine suddenly shot...pop!

He shot the basketball with a slap. At his peak, O'Neal, who averaged 2.6 blocks per game, was not easy to provoke.

The basketball was shot to the elbow zone. When Mason tried to take the basketball down to make a second attack, Snoopy had already attacked like a cannon, knocked him aside forcefully, and then quickly rushed forward with the ball.

And 3 seconds later, assisted Dorell Wright to hit a shot from beyond the three-point line!

From the backcourt block to the frontcourt goal, the entire defensive counterattack took less than 5 seconds.

"This is the horror of Snoopy. He can both exert defensive influence in the backcourt and complete a lightning attack in the frontcourt." Isaiah Thomas said triumphantly in front of the TV: "He can play with Any player has a chemical reaction. I even doubt that he can complete offensive and defensive coordination with Eddie Curry..."

Before he could finish his words, Donny Walsh couldn't wait to snorted coldly: "The doctor will never allow a guy over 330 pounds to walk on the court. What's more, he is born with a heart attack."

"I haven't figured out why you gave him a contract with a total salary of more than $70 million."

Walsh complained.

At this time, Isaiah Thomas couldn’t help but argued: “When you face a giant center who can average 19+7 per game, you can’t just watch him slip away. In fact, I still think Eddie Curry is one of the best pick-and-roll centers in the league. He just didn't meet a point guard who is good at working with him in the low post."

"So, this is why you threw $90 million to Stephen Marbury?" Donny Walsh went after him, his pocket full of **** contracts about Thomas, whether it was for Jerome James Thirty million, still 20 million for Malicross....

Isaiah Thomas was speechless by what he said. Because he didn't like Stephen Marbury, signing Marbury was more of a public opinion. At that time, the entire Big Apple City hoped that the son of New York would return to his hometown, and he just gave him a maximum salary. However, Marbury was not grateful. He even helped the **** black aunt to provide testimony in the mediation court when he was caught in the news of sexual assault.

This is also the reason for the direct break between Isaiah Thomas and Stephen Marbury: the next season after that happened, Thomas announced that Marbury entered the bench camp. Moreover, on the night Marbury's father died of a heart attack in the stands, he did not tell Marbury the first time.

This led to... the complete destruction of the New York Knicks. It also made the personal images of Marbury and Thomas fall into the abyss at the same time, becoming the two rats that everyone in New York City called and beat.

Pat Riley, shaking his red wine glass, didn't want to care about the dispute between the Knicks president and vice president.

When he saw Doug and Jermaine O'Neal high-five on TV, his expression could not hide his frustration.

He became more and more aware that he might have done a discounted business.

Although the New York media has been advocating the ‘Pat Riley Robbery’ theory, the fortune teller now believes that he is the poor worm who has been sold and is still giving money.

The game continues.

The combination of Snoopy and O'Neal continues to show off. Although both Joe Smith and Ibaka are known for defensively, they are both old and inexperienced. In contrast, Snoopy and Jermaine have extremely obvious advantages.

Not only is it a perfect match on the defensive end, but on the offensive end, Doug has brought the essence of "feeding the cake" to the extreme.

When Doug received the ball in the paint zone, he quickly took a flashy intrusion to create a defensive space, and he would immediately hand it over to O'Neal.

O'Neal's ability to attack tough due to a major physical injury has declined, but his ability to'eat pie' is still there. Although he was not a kaleidoscope at his peak, he was still proficient in these weapons for open shots and hook throws.

With Doug and O'Neal in the paint zone, the difference is further widened.

Coach Brooks couldn't wait to replace all the main players in the sixth minute of the second quarter.

At this time, Spoelstra also replaced Michael Beasley on the court and replaced James Jones.

This substitution once again played a decisive factor.

Doug began to respond in the paint zone. He treated Jeff Green's defense as toilet paper, kneaded it at will, and then threw it into the trash can. Michael Beasley and Jermaine O'Neal completed the feat of eating pie before and after, and the Thunder's defense simply missed the other.

Spoelstra looked at it and sighed again and again.

Although the Thunder is not a strong team, it has no reference significance. But... the cooperation of these three people may not be able to compete with those strong teams.

Pat Riley is even more inexplicable. Isaiah Thomas on the side has directly picked up the red wine bottle. He started to complacent: "I have known for a long time that Snoopy is a player with his own system. In this league, there are many players. . When you see him for the first time, you know that you should build a tactical play around him. This is the star. And there is another kind of player, when he walks on the court, all you can do is give him the ball, because He has his own system, this is a superstar!"

"Snoopy is a superstar embryo!"

Isaiah Thomas was already a little drunk. He even started to talk nonsense: "Snoopy will wash away all my humiliation, and I even think he will make everyone aware... I, Isaiah Thomas, did not sign any **** contracts. He can let the Knicks every A player becomes value for money!!"

This made Donnie Walsh sneer, and James Dolan quickly arranged for a male staff member to take him back to the hotel to rest.

Pat Riley finally left after sitting awkwardly for 20 minutes.

He doesn't want to watch the game anymore, because from the third quarter, Snoopy has begun to appear at the small forward position. Although he couldn't defend Kevin Durant's offense, Kevin Durant also failed to effectively hinder his breakthrough and series: Durant's big pace was used by Snoopy with fast pace, small range and fast pace. Give it finely chopped.

The game quickly lost suspense.

After all, the youth army of Thunder is still too young~lightnovelpub.net~ They are still lining up to exchange their talents, and they are most likely to belong to them in the future.

But... Doug, who scored 9 points, 11 assists, 8 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 steals, also has a bright future.

Because, after the game is over. He received a call from Pat Riley, and Pat Riley told him: "If the league announces that the deal is done, would you refuse to report to the New York Knicks? This is the only possibility to cancel the deal!"

This is the second time that Pat Riley has challenged the league rules in his career, and the target is still the New York Knicks.

But the answer he got was: "No, Mr. Pat Riley. Now I'm talking to you: New York Knicks No. 10 player Snoopy Du!"

Du Ge's tone was absolute, he didn't want to drag his feet.

He never thought of making Pat Riley regret it.

He just felt that it was time for him to embark on a new journey.
