Many fans even stood up and cheered on the team leader.

For the New York fans, the pre-match pre-game rhetoric from Josh Smith was unbearable, and they desperately wanted the Duke to deliver a heavy blow tonight: and now, the Duke opened the game with a sword!

"You don't have to pretend, I know what tricks you're going to play next." Josh Smith stood close to a meter away from Dug, and his tone was rather indifferent: "Pass the ball." ”

He had an indifferent expression, as if he had seen through all of Duge's hole cards.

Indeed, with his height, with his athleticism, his current position is just right to lock up all of Dug's offensive possibilities. If Doog were to break through, he had plenty of room to act as a cushion for the pullback, and he had a bigger pace and faster pace than Doger. If Dugg wants to shoot, at this distance, Josh Smith, who has a lot of bounce power, can easily rush up to block it, because Dug can only shoot on the spot to have deterrent power.

Many fans at the scene couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat.

Duge, however, had a relaxed expression.

He gave Josh Smith a calm look, "You should update your database." ”

Immediately, he suddenly took a rapid breakthrough step to the left.

Josh Smith pulled back quickly, and he didn't want to give Dugg a chance to make it overnight.

However, at the same time as he retreated.

Rushing forward, Dugg braked suddenly, took a sharp step back, and then sent the basketball out in a textbook step-back shot...... Josh Smith watched the basketball fly overhead, his body center of gravity was still falling backwards, he didn't expect it, he didn't expect Dugg to choose to shoot, and it was a jumper with a quick stop and a step-back jumper!

This difficulty is a bit high.

And, it does look like the action is a bit 'Kobe... Jordan's flavor of that genre.

But... What's the point of being handsome?

"Rebound!!"

Josh Smith reacted in milliseconds when he shouted out to his teammates under the basket to grab the spot.

However, when the sound reached the restricted area, El Horford actively stuck David Lee while protecting the backcourt rebound...... Swish!

The intimate contact between the basketball and the net is very gentle, and the hollow landing posture is like throwing a stone into the ocean.

And this stone soon set off a wave of the entire garden arena.

Snoopy…… Du！ Du！ Du！！！

When the old DJ opened fire like Gatling, more than 20,000 fans in the audience chanted the Duke's voice! Duke！ Duke！ Duke！

The voice of every fan is full of resentment, and the hearty feeling of finally being released!

This three points are too relieving.

Josh Smith was crazy before the game!

At the same time, Dugg on the court had already stretched out three fingers to Josh Smith, whose expression was obviously stunned, and swayed: "It's already three points." ”

Duge's tone wasn't mean, but it was acerbic enough. He wants Josh Smith to remember what he said before the game.

"Snoopy is just seven points away from breaking the pre-game scoring limit set by Josh Smith." Speaking from the commentary box, Reggie Miller said: "And now it's only 15 seconds into the game. ”

Undoubtedly, Duge's opening three points shocked him, and in fact, the countless viewers in front of the TV. Although Duke Snoopy has hit a lot of three-pointers in the past, there are even many video highlights that are still in the NBA's classic three-point shootout. But there are very few shots like this that clearly go for the 'three', and his movements are very 'forward-looking', as if they have become a conventional weapon.

"I have to admit that Snoopy's goal is in the same vein as Kobe Bryant. Extrapolating from the strict genre, he can be regarded as the successor of Michael Jordan's style. Bill Wharton suddenly made a sneering joke next to him, and then he laughed first.

Obviously, comparing Dugg to Jordan is something that no one is used to.

But judging from the replay footage that was played repeatedly, Snoopy's step-back step-back jumper is indeed very much the style of a basketball god.

Moreover, his hand looks a lot softer than in the last game.

After the rematch, Josh Smith took the initiative to ask for basketball from Mike Bibby.

When he was on the ball from beyond the three-point line, Dugg did the same, mimicking his previous defensive stance, standing a meter away from Smith. He didn't say anything smug like 'pass the ball', but he had a look of welcome to the anser-ball.

This sparked a burst of laughter from the audience, and Knicks fans loved this ingenious 'revenge' very much.

These laughter somehow increased the psychological pressure on Joshsmith.

To know... He vowed before the game that he would lock Dugg under 10 points and score more than 25 points, and now those remarks are becoming his shackles.

No matter what!!

Smith took a quick inward sprint.

After forcing Dugg's defense to retreat, he immediately opted for the exact same approach as Dugg had done before, executing a step-back jumper.

At the moment when the basketball was projected, he was full of confidence in his heart, and even prepared the next ironic lines.

However, the basketball did not fall into the Nets...... Bang!

The basketball bounced high, David Lee protected the rebound, and quickly handed it to Duger.

Dugg immediately drove full speed towards the front court with the ball, and when he reached a step beyond the three-point line, he suddenly came to a sharp stop. Josh Smith didn't dare to slack off and quickly pounced, but at the same time as he pounced.

The basketball in Duge's hand is like a dexterous elf, and he hits the basket with a very spiritual jump, and James Johnson, who arrives at the horse, catches the ball and turns around and dunks!

His physicality is on full display.

Herb Williams on the sidelines immediately waved his fist to applaud him.

This made Jeffries, who was sitting on the bench, very unhappy. He thinks that Herb Williams is deliberately taking revenge on himself, he actually deprived himself of the starting small forward position and replaced him with that rookie!

At one point, he was furious in the locker room and pulled out Zach Randolph to rely on. However, Dugg curbed further developments, and he spearheaded support for Herb Williams' personnel changes. For this, he even broke out into a verbal conflict with Randolph. But things didn't go any further, and in the end James Johnson made it to the starting lineup.

Johnson ran over to high-five Dugg as soon as he scored.

This caused Jeffries to turn sideways and muttered to Randolph: "Now all the players in the dressing room are on his orders, don't forget that he relied on your support to sit in the core of the player in the first place." ”

Randolph pursed his lips, though he did not answer Jeffries directly. But he inevitably felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and this afternoon in the locker room, he just used some street slang to argue with Snoopy, and James Johnson and Wesley Matthews, two rookies, rushed up to protect Snoopy, and with an expression of 'if you dare to do it, I will definitely help Snoopy'.

This made Randolph realize that he was losing his authority in the locker room, and that Snoopy was the only leader in everyone's eyes, completely forgetting that Zach Randolph was stronger and more senior than him.

He has no ill feelings towards Snoopy, and even enjoys spending time with him. But... When he realized that the power in the locker room was tilting in his way endlessly, and he was gradually marginalized, he couldn't help but feel a mustard in his heart.

At the same time, the game continues.

Swish!

The Atlanta Hawks finally broke the scoring drought on the offensive end with Joe Johnson's pull-up jumper.

However, that doesn't change the fact that the Eagles continue to decline.

And the reason for this decline is that Josh Smith is biting Snoopy like a mad dog, and he does not dare to let up because of his pre-game remarks. And based on the fact that Dugg hit a three-pointer in the opening game, his defense had to become extremely tight.

This closeness gives Dugg more possibilities to break through and pass the ball.

At the same time, it also undermined the Eagles' defensive system of infinite defensive changes.

"The Atlanta Hawks and Denver Nuggets are the best teams in the league at creating infinite turnovers because they have two of the most athletic fronts in the league. But now, with Josh Smith keeping an eye on Snoopy, their rotation is inevitably off. This gives the Knicks too much to take advantage of. If he continues like this, Snoopy may not be able to score more than double figures, but his assists will surely exceed 20. Moreover... The Knicks would have won easily. ”

McBrin commented at the end of the first quarter.

At this time, the Knicks, who were sitting at home, took a 7-point lead at 32:25.

"Josh Smith has to make a trade-off between the team and himself next, or he'll be a negative drag on the team." Reggie Miller also stressed on the side.

At this time, Bill Wharton declared: "Why are you so timid because of a three-point step back? If I were Josh Smith, I'd always be relaxed on my shots. I don't think Snoopy will be able to make a qualitative leap in such a short period of time. And, what if he gets 10 points? Isn't Atalanta's biggest demand to blow up the Knicks and avenge last season's playoff defeat? ”

Bill Wharton's words were actually exactly what McWoodson said to Josh Smith, and he wanted Smith to come out of his pre-game remarks. He even gave an example: "There are too many stars in the NBA who break their promises. Even if it's your surrender, Tracy Maddy, he's often talkative. You don't have to take full responsibility for what you say when you're excited, like you occasionally say I love you in a prostitute's bed, do you? ”

McWoodson is a kind manager, and although he doesn't know much about tactics, he knows how to make young players happy.

Little by little, his words changed Josh Smith's mind...... He wasn't a man of principles in the first place. And this... In fact, it is the biggest difference between him and Duge, Duge never says unrealistic cruel words, but once he identifies a certain goal, he will complete it even if he tries his best.

"That's right, our biggest mission tonight is to slaughter the Knicks." Josh Smith finally looked up after a long silence and uttered something that lifted his teammates.

When Josh Smith got back on track, all the Hawks players thought the victory was in their hands. The Knicks had nothing to worry about, they would soon be put on the gallows to be executed.
