Guard With a Knife

The Oklahoma City Thunder were recognized as the top seed, but they were eliminated in the first round of the tournament, which surprised many people.

Although the Heat achieved four consecutive victories in the regular season.

But everyone knew that those four games had no gold content. They were nothing more than a group of fringe players plus nba rookies.

However, Thunder is different. They sent most of the main lineup, just to win the championship. As a result... they lost to the Miami Heat, which did not have half of the main players.

When reporters and commentators received the news, the first judgment formed in their heads was: Michael Beasley must have dominated the game at the second place.

However, after watching the game video.

They have to admit that Snoopy, who scored 6 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 blocks in the game, is the real key to victory. When the Thunder established a 14-point advantage in the half, it was he who used breakthroughs again and again to open up the situation and build the team's offensive net. At the same time, he established a dense zone defense mechanism on the defensive end. He, David Anderson and Michael Beasley built the paint area into an impenetrable castle, which caused the Thunder to score only 11 points at the basket in the second half.

But... Snoopy's embarrassment under Ibaka's defense at the last moment did not escape the eyes of basketball reporters.

"Snoopy's offensive and defensive steps are very strange. Although his foot speed is very fast, his strides are very small. It feels like someone has tied his thighs. To be honest, I only know when I I saw this kind of footsteps when my wife went shopping and suddenly had a 'period'."

ESPN's well-known ball critic Hollinger commented on the "Summer League Daily Observation" program that night. Of course, in the program, he also praised Snoopy's defensive mobility at the basket, high position support and ability to break through and score the ball.

However, not all media are as objective as him.

There are still a large number of media that maintain the previous inertia, and those in the media seldom change their attitude suddenly. They must be "responsible" to the consumers who bought their newspapers or magazines before. After all, if you called him a basketball idiot yesterday and call him a team leader today, he would be insane and seriously doubt the rigor of the newspaper.

So, they report with cuts and highlights.

Mainly to praise Michael Beasley, but also emphasized that the No. 8 pick was blown away by the No. 24 pick at the last moment. If Michael Beasley hadn't stepped forward, the game would have been buried under Snoopy's insistence on going his own way. The ball breaks through.

Since there is no TV station for this year's summer league,

All game information has to be browsed on a dedicated web page, and most fans are unwilling to spend time on a summer league without big-name stars.

Therefore, when the media said so, the fans naturally accepted it.

Moreover, this kind of criticism can be mutually confirmed with their previous "established impression": how can a rich second-generation high-achieving student who plays music be able to play basketball well?

"Great job!"

Miami's Pat Riley didn't have that established impression, nor was he influenced by the Miami media, because he got first-hand information. Keith Smart reported to him on Snoopy's performance in the game that night, and he told the president that Snoopy has now officially taken over the locker room. He has the support of all the players, everyone is convinced by him.

Smart highly praised Snoopy's personality in his speech: "He rarely communicated with the players in the first five days. At that time, I even thought he was a loner."

"But when the game was at a loss and everyone was at a loss, only he stepped forward and he gave a classic speech. He called everyone's name, said everyone's strengths, and told them that wealth is danger. Zhongqiu, crises often contain huge opportunities. Then he led his players to play, faced the Thunder's strongest player Jeff Green at the power forward position, forcibly opened the situation, led the team to reverse the score, and won the final victory."

Pat Riley is obviously not as excited as Smart, and he is not surprised by this matter. Because he saw how he commanded No. 1 pick Derrick Rose and No. 4 pick Russell Westbrook in Orlando. Moreover, the ncaa finals, wasn't it because he delivered the "Duke's Speech" at a critical moment that he reversed and won?

These are one of the reasons why he is obsessed with Doug and is willing to pay a great price to select Doug with the No. 8 pick.

What really surprised and delighted him was that Doug's breakthrough was more lethal than in Orlando, and he also learned to layup.

This is especially important, which means that he has mastered two of the three threats of the sudden pass.

So...he's been making rapid progress.

As long as there is progress, it proves that his huge potential can be realized.

"Tell Snoopy that he doesn't have to participate in the next game. It is meaningless for him to waste time in these gold-less games. The most important thing for him now is to strengthen his own training."

Pat Riley's order allowed Doug to board the plane back to China early.

When he left the team, everyone except Daequan Cook came to embrace the No. 8 pick who was demonized by the media. At least in the eyes of this group of people, Snoopy is worthy of this pick, and many people even think he can be higher.

From everyone's envy, jealousy and dismissiveness on the first day, to the warm embrace when they left at the end, the blessings from the heart.

Smart saw all the changes and kept them in his heart.

He had a strong feeling in his heart that this kid would definitely bring about earth-shaking changes in Miami.

...

When Duge arrived in Beijing, he found that it was very different from when he came here for tourism five years ago. With the upcoming Olympic Games, Beijing has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Under Lin Weiwei's arrangement, Du Ge first filmed a TV commercial for China Mobile.

Then I went to help an insurance company act as the image spokesperson, followed by watches, computers, clothing, beer and health care products.

For five days, non-stop, constantly rushing to the market, working like a clockwork.

Du Ge complained to Lin Weiwei more than once: "This is much harder than playing basketball."

Lin Weiwei complained angrily: "Even if you play basketball for three days and three nights, you don't earn as much as you do now."

"By the way, according to your instruction, these seven endorsements are all signed for a short two-year contract. Together, they will bring you 27 million yuan in income every year."

Doug silently counted a few zeros.

After tax deduction, there are fourteen million yuan.

What should I do with this money? You can't throw ashes at the bank.

Ding dong!

Lin Weiwei's computer rang, and she skillfully clicked on QQ, then entered the mailbox, and reviewed the cooperation invitations sent by domestic sponsors.

"I think QQ is much easier to use than msn." Lin Weiwei sighed sincerely.

When Duge heard this, a thought suddenly flashed in his head, and some messy and disorderly messages flooded up, and the things that were worrying a minute ago immediately had an answer: "Take all my advertising revenue to buy Tencent's stock."

Lin Weiwei looked at Duge with a horrified expression: "Boss, you are so impulsive every time you invest, I am really worried that you will go bankrupt early."

bankruptcy?

Doug never thought of that.

He turned around and opened the "Basketball Pioneer" on the table. Today's headline is that the American Dream Team has booked the "Platinum Five-Star" hotel, and also erected nearly 1,000 meters of barbed wire to surround the hotel to ensure their own safety. .

"These NBA superstars are really extravagant and lustful."

Doug couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Opening the second page, it was still the news of the Dream Eight team. The main title seemed to be "The Three Heroes of the Wind and the Dust Seek Fun in Macau, and the Young Girl in the Yepu Bathroom"

Duge took a closer look, only to find out that the Heat's star Dwyane Wade was among the Three Heroes.
