Guard With a Knife

win?

Many didn't even lift their eyelids.

The Knicks' locker room has long since lost the culture of winning. They care more about parties, sports cars, nightclubs. The desire to win and lose has long been gradually lost in the repeated losses.

And the management has long been not interested in the games before 2010. They are more focused on cleaning up the salary issues left over from history and hooking up the superstars whose contracts expire in the summer of 2010, among which LeBron James bears the brunt.

As for the fans and the media, they are used to their cursing anyway. Every player seems to be muddling along.

"Snoopy. We did have a chance to win the last game. The Los Angeles Clippers were as bad as us. But tonight, we are facing the Cleveland Cavaliers!" Zach Randolph held a Brazilian-made Cigar said leisurely: "My goal tonight is to score 20+10, which is more realistic."

"The Cleveland Cavaliers have a slow pace, and they just traded Ben Wallace to Shaquille O'Neal. This is a key to our mid-range win!" Can make a lot of mid-range shots!"

Zach Randolph took a slow breath of smoke.

Quentin Richardson next to him has already spoken in advance: "Man, I guess you must have never read ESPN's trade rating. Our three-way trade is rated C, and Shaq O'Neal's trade to Cleveland is A! He Become the last piece of the puzzle to support the Cleveland Cavaliers to win the championship."

"So, man. Think about the after-game party! That's where the guys should be."

After two days of Quentin Richardson's hard work, Zach Randolph finally agreed to hand over his winnings and treat everyone to a nightclub. This became the focus of discussion in the locker room tonight.

Duge shrugged helplessly, he couldn't get into this topic.

The locker room, which was as noisy as a vegetable market, finally made him realize that not all teams are bent on winning. This is very different from Miami, and it is even more different from here.

Duge shook his head with a wry smile, and walked out of the locker room without saying a word. He decided to practice alone for a while.

In China, he often gave speeches when his teammates were desperate, and used his passion to drive the team. He was even filmed by a national live broadcast.

Later, during summer league,

He also gave speeches. At that time, the Thunder was reversed.

Then, when he arrived at the Miami Heat, he seldom made long speeches, because he knew that Dwyane Wade's team was there, and it was not his turn to dictate. And...the locker room is full of millionaires and multi-millionaires. It is difficult for them to be moved by some passionate words. They care more about the data and the money behind the data.

Therefore, he usually uses assists to connect the team and lead the team on the right path.

But now, to the Knicks. It's true that this team hasn't been branded by anyone yet, but... who can? This is a fried dough stick in a bunch of fried dough sticks.

can i do it

Doug asked himself, and then shot a jumper!

Swish!

The jumper from beyond the three-point line actually hit.

This unexpected goal strengthened his mind, and he decided to make his mark on this unowned team. Although he will face a bunch of old fritters, he already has a firm heart.

But how do you take the first step?

Swish!

Once again he heard the sound of the net rubbing against the rim perfectly as new addition Stephan Novak hit a shot from beyond the arc. This honest-looking Caucasian boy is obviously not used to the atmosphere in the locker room. He just arrived on the court as soon as possible to practice three-pointers... This at least makes him look more diligent.

Another newcomer sits under the basket, looking lifeless and at the mercy of fate.

The assistant trainer is stretching him, and he has a very standard inside body.

When Duger played against him before, his movement gave Duger a big surprise, and he still reminded himself kindly in his ear at that time, don't care about the boos of the audience.

This gave Doug a good first impression of him.

He walked over and took the initiative to shake hands with Milicic: "You flew over from Memphis overnight, you must have not rested yet."

Milicic said with a smile: "Actually, I came from New Jersey. We just finished the road game there, thank God, I got a call from my agent before boarding the plane to Minnesota."

"Sounds like a lucky start." Doug sat next to him: "After the game against the Grizzlies, I searched for you on Google, including the video of your game in Europe. I don't understand you How did he change from a forward with nimble footwork, precise passing, and even the ability to hit the 3 position to a defensive center who can only stay in the paint, grab rebounds, screen, and finish?"

"Who knows." Milicic shrugged his shoulders, and his tone was flat: "I might tell you before that it was because of Larry Brown and Joe Dumars. They killed my basketball dream, and they hit my self-esteem ...but that may not be the whole story."

Having said that, Milicic sighed.

He saw Doug looking at him with sincere eyes all the time.

He went on to say: "Maybe I don't adapt to the American basketball culture. I don't fit in with everything here."

Milicic pointed to the court: "In the NBA, apart from learning to spend money lavishly, playing with women, and enjoying all material comforts, everything else is regressing, including my love for basketball."

"I can't play with them, they just talk about who dunked who, who broke who, and I'm a strange monster to them because I don't think so."

"I remember in my rookie season, when I finally got to play. And Mutombo taunted me the first second he saw me, asking me if I had the guts to fight. Why did I need to do this? I didn't Are you here to play?"

"The answer to the question you just asked is: I have never been allowed to handle the ball at the free throw line. I have been asked to work in the penalty area by various coaches since the beginning of my career. So ... this made it what it is now For me, I lost the shooting ability I used to have, and I also lost the feeling for basketball. I can only fight hand-to-hand under the basket and fight for rebounds."

Duge asked him very seriously: "Then do you like yourself now?"

Milicic originally wanted to say it didn't matter, but looking into Doug's sincere eyes, he rarely gave a sincere response: "I don't like it."

Hearing this answer, Doug stretched out his hand: "Then do it with me! I'm not an American player, I'm from China."

"Also, Zach Randolph and the others will definitely invite you to the party tonight, but I believe you should have the courage to refuse them. In fact, you don't need the hustle and bustle of the lights."

Milicic looked at Doug suspiciously, hesitantly, and incomprehensibly.

"Didn't play in Detroit because they were a championship team and had a tough head coach who wasn't good at training rookies. Didn't play in Orlando because they focused on developing Dwight Howard. Didn't in Memphis. It's worth it because they've got a bunch of big guys, not just Pau Gasol, Navarro, Swift, Warrick. But now... you don't have an excuse anymore."

"I guess...you don't want to return to Serbia with a smile on your face. After all, when you stepped on the American plane, you carried the hopes of all Europe."

Duge's last words finally hit Milicic's heart.

His mood swings wildly.

Doug strikes while the iron is hot.

"Maybe Larry Brown destroyed your confidence, but at least he taught you solid defense. If you start with defense, I will help you slowly find yourself. I am in the same situation as you now, It's also ridiculed all over the sky. I need a helper, I hope he can give those mockers a loud slap in the face with me!"

Doug was very frank.

Milicic hesitated for a few seconds, then reached out and shook hands with Doug.

"I hope you didn't lie to me." Milicic held his hand very tightly, and he also knew that this was his last chance to prove himself.

"Of course," Doug said emphatically, "I never lied to anyone."

"Including women?"

When Milicic talked about women, his eyes lit up. He once publicly declared in front of the media that "there are endless girls in the United States" and suddenly asked Doug with a lowered eyebrow: "Follow you, you can arrange it." A Hollywood actress?"

Duge rolled his eyes at him angrily, and thought: This is a capitalist society, distribution is not included!

At this time, Steve Novak came over, and he volunteered: "I also want to be a member of your team. I know you have the ability to make my three-pointers more lethal."

This was beyond Doug's expectations.

He recruited Milicic because he wanted to have a helper in the paint. But the 3-point shooters, the team already has ... Gallinari, Quentin Richardson and even Nate Robinson can shoot 3s.

However, after two seconds, he agreed to Novak's request... because he remembered the college alumnus Dwyane Wade once mentioned to him. At that time, Wade told Doug that if you want to improve your shooting ability quickly, I thought my college buddy Steve Novak might be able to help you.

"Welcome to Team Snoopy!"

Doug stood up and shook his hand.

Novak was overjoyed, he took the initiative to hug Doug.

"Hey, I said Snoopy, are the three of you huddling together to keep warm?" Zach Randolph's voice came from the player tunnel: "Did the New York media crush you so quickly? You have to Get used to this kind of venomous criticism, because... your nightmare has just begun!"

Doug smiled lightly.

nightmare?

Doug never thought so.

Isaiah Thomas didn't think so either. He stood in the stands on the second floor and watched quietly how Doug recruited Milicic and Stephan Novak.

This is the picture he wants to see. He admitted that he did recruit a group of problematic players to the Knicks in the last term, but he still firmly believes that these players have their shining points, but they just haven't found the right chemical reaction.

And now, in his heart. Dug was the perfect chemical solvent.

The Knicks will definitely get stronger.

All my humiliation will also be washed away by Snoopy!

Unknowingly, Isaiah Thomas clenched his fists. He looked around the entire Madison Garden, he firmly believed that this basketball Mecca will usher in a new era.
