Guard With a Knife

Banksy's targeting of Doug is not without reason. 【】

He is from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, referred to as UNLV. In 2003, he was selected by the Cavaliers with the thirteenth overall pick in the first round, but his teammate Joel Anthony lost.

Their relationship has always been very good. So this summer, with the help of Sean Marion, a senior who also graduated from UNLV, he strongly recommended Joel Anthony to the management. Joel Anthony got a basic salary contract in the Miami Heat, which is in urgent need of a center, through excellent trial results, and has now become the No. 3 center of the Heat. With the level of No. 2 center Mark Blunt, it won't take long for Joel Anthony to be successfully promoted to Margo Leuer's main backup. Moreover, now everyone can see that Magloire's condition is declining rapidly, and it is not impossible to squeeze him to the bench.

But today, the No. 8 pick who made a fool of himself in the forward group was suddenly transferred back to the center position, which made Joel Anthony's playing time full of suspense again.

So, when Doug said that to Sean Livingston. He was directly sarcastic.

Doug didn't know what Banks was thinking, he only knew that he had to do something. If things go on like this, there will be more and more speeches that directly provoke themselves.

His self-esteem does not allow himself to be in a 'not good' position.

So, when he walked onto the court, his fists were tightly clenched.

boom!

Magloire missed the first free throw.

When he was about to execute the second shot.

Shawn Marion is ready to rush.

But boom!

At the moment when the basketball hit the rim, Doug stepped out suddenly, and his strong body directly squeezed Sean Marion behind him. Although the thin Marion had a certain strength, he was also flexible enough.

But at this moment, he has no possibility of escape.

He had heard that this skinny-looking rookie had great strength, but he didn't expect it to be so strong that he could compete with most of the centers in the NBA.

He could only watch Beasley easily win the basketball.

Then to Mario Chalmers.

Spoelstra on the sidelines saw the ball,

Eyes shine: Snoopy's positioning ability is indeed very good.

It's just...is he really tall enough to play center? He raised his head and looked at Pat Riley on the stairs on the second floor opposite: this iron-blooded coach has been observing the game, and it was he who gestured for him to replace Snoopy just now.

Although Spoelstra is the head coach, Pat Riley still maintains the habit of remote command. He seemed intent on starting Snoopy at center, an idea that drove Spoelstra crazy, and frankly, he didn't have the slightest bit of confidence in Snoopy.

At this time, Chalmers took the ball to the frontcourt.

But... Snoopy stopped at the free throw line.

Spoelstra frowned: What is this kid doing?

Then, he saw Mario Chalmers pass the ball to him, and Michael Beasley quickly stepped back to the weak side to open the defense for him.

How is this going?

Even Nelson of the Magic will not hand the ball to Howard at the free throw line, and Turkoglu will not run to the weak side for Howard to attract defense. This is basically the magic team's tactical play.

Indeed not.

Pat Riley, who was sitting on the steps on the second floor, looked at the court full of expectations. This is the first time Doug faces an NBA-level defense. Can he live up to expectations?

"Pass me the damn ball," Daequan Cook urged from the sidelines.

But Duge didn't, I saw him put down his center of gravity and start to shoot the ball.

Magloire came up, and he spread his long arms, covering Dug's attack line.

He heard from the forward team that this kid's mobility was comparable to Yao Huang, so he didn't care. He was even in the mood to joke: "Snoopy, are you going to break my ankle with a crossover?"

He finished speaking.

boom!

The basketball suddenly slammed in front of him, and then Doug stepped forward with his left foot like lightning, and his steps directly stepped on Magloire's side. Magloire hurriedly tried to step back to defend, but His speed is too slow... Phew!

Snoopy turned around in an instant. Although his turning was full of mechanical sense, it was sharp enough.

Just like a front-loading washing machine, Magloire was dried on the free throw line in an instant.

After passing the defense, Snoopy cut straight into the penalty area. After two steps, he violently lifted into the air...Boom!

His one-handed chopping button is as powerful as a broken bamboo.

Wow!

Sean Livingston and Pat Riley exclaimed almost simultaneously.

Livingston even jumped off the bench.

Snoopy's feet are so good, who said he can't move?

At this time, Ronald Hayden, the assistant coach in charge of training the striker group, was also a little unexpected: he is obviously very bad at running! Why is the small-scale cutting so sharp? His breakthrough speed with the ball is almost two people compared with his running without the ball.

"You've improved again."

When Chalmers returned to the defense, he looked at Doug in shock: "You actually turn your back on someone."

He played against Snoopy in the NCAA Finals in April, and then participated in the Summer League together in July. Today, October 7, the Heat will play against each other. The stage is getting bigger and bigger, and the opponents are getting stronger and stronger. But Snoopy did not reduce his sense of existence because of this. His rhythm of changing directions became faster and faster, his pace became larger and larger, and he was actually able to dunk.

He is indeed the person who can be selected with the eighth overall pick!

To be honest, Chalmers was a little taken aback.

But at this time, the Heat players didn't feel how wonderful the ball was. In their view, it was normal for the small man to pass the center.

But... next.

When Sean Marion bypassed Beasley's cotton candy-like defense with a reverse run, and cut to the bottom line in a straight line, Dwyane Wade hoisted the basketball into the basket, and Marion immediately took off to prepare for the alley-oop... However, hey, a black shadow flashed past.

The basketball that was in the air was directly slapped to the bottom line by a huge slap: let alone the alley-oop, Marion didn't even touch the ball.

The staff and assistant coaches at the scene were in an uproar.

They finally realized... this rookie is by no means an ordinary person.

His speed actually surpassed Sean Marion.

Unlike Marion, who was lucky enough to get into the All-Star Game, Marion was a real All-Star. He was omnipotent in Phoenix back then, and strictly speaking, he was the number one general next to Stephen Nash. However, he still failed to catch the basketball to complete the dunk even when he had the advantage just now, which shows how terrifying Dug's jumping speed and height are.

One offense and one defense, the contempt and disdain in the training camp was swept away.

Doug can be selected with the eighth overall pick, and he does have his uniqueness.

It's just that Pat Riley frowned after joy at this time.

What he wants is not just a qualified No. 8 pick, he hopes that Snoopy can become the executor of the ultimate tactic in his mind.

That's why he asked Duge to go to the forward group to receive training first. When Duge can adapt to the strength of the forward group, he will transfer Duge to the guard group without hesitation.

After all, what he wants to create is... a crowd of rockers!
