Chapter 35: [The Goat Passes the Ball for Me, God Freezes Time for Me, and the Moon Covers Me to Fight]
There was a lively discussion on the commentator's bench, and in the Knicks' locker room, there was a lively atmosphere of criticism and self-criticism.
Zach Randolph was involved for the first time, he was excited, blushing and thick-necked.
Because, his teammates are criticizing him.
"Zach moves too slowly, he should put his rebounding energy on lateral movement, and if he does a good lateral movement, Wade's breakthrough kill will be reduced by 30 percent."
"He should keep a certain distance from me, and we two fat people should echo each other, not rely on each other."
"If Randolph had cut down on some of his turns, if he had cut down on some of his showmanship, we'd be more silky."
"He can go and flank O'Neal, and his long arms will teach O'Neill some lessons."
“……”
Randolph thought he deserved credit for scoring 18 points in the first half.
Unexpectedly, most of the players criticized him after self-criticism.
It made him quite excited, and this excitement was not anger, but a kind of 'I am so important' emotion.
Man.
What is a man's biggest failure?
is not needed.
Now so many teammates are criticizing him for what he hasn't done enough. In Randolph's view, this means that they need themselves especially in these areas.
Therefore, he humbly accepted these criticisms, and deeply examined them in his self-criticism, saying that he should work harder and strive to integrate into the collective as soon as possible.
This makes everyone a little embarrassed, a newcomer is so conscious, this is not to compare everyone. I want to run for the deputy head of our Knicks branch.
Isaiah Thomas didn't expect Randolph to blend in so quickly, he couldn't believe his eyes and ears. Is this still the bastard who beat up the manager? Is this still the same bastard who attended a memorial service in a nightclub? How could he be so conscious?
Suhi decided to let Zach Randolph watch the bench a little longer in the third quarter and then take a look. Sharpen the knife and do not mistake the woodcutter.
Randolph gladly accepted.
That's Suhi's charisma.
He came up and let Randolph take on the heavy lift, rather than let him sit on the bench and watch. Mobilize his emotions first, and then move on to studying.
In this way, it will not discourage enthusiasm.
However, looking at Randolph's current consciousness, the enthusiasm has long been full. Don't worry at all.
The second half began.
The Miami Heat were in full swing, and Wade was a power-hungry engine that burst out of torque. Shaq O'Neal was beaten by Sushi in the first half to be scheduled as the backdrop of the year, but he played harder.
He didn't break down.
He admits his old age, acknowledges that his dominance is not there. But he's going to fight for the last championship ring before he's completely old, because he's going to tell Kobe Bryant: Lao Tzu is better than you no matter what. Four is better than three.
The Heat's offense is like a tide, and the Knicks can't stop it.
But the Knicks' offensive firepower is just as strong, and the Heat can't hold it.
So, the two teams are still going back and forth.
The Heat are a little more efficient on offense, and the Knicks have a bit more on the offensive round.
At the end of the third quarter, the two teams were tied again.
Then, in the fourth quarter, the Knicks replaced Randolph.
Randolph watched a section, and Suhi asked him when he came on the court, did he understand anything.
Randolph is honest: no, the more you look at it, the more confused it becomes.
That's right.
Originally, it was a pot of paste, and then rotten tofu was added, and it was just stewed.
When Randolph came on the pitch, he was unusually positive. Although he didn't understand the Knicks' tactics, he remembered the criticism of his teammates. His lateral movement has increased, his shots have become more resolute, and his flanking strikes have become more presentable.
In doing so, the Knicks' defense was quickly strengthened.
Both O'Neill and Wade were weakened to some extent because of the addition of this black fat man.
However, the Miami Heat's role players stepped up, with Posey and Payton stepping up in the fourth quarter.
The score difference has been scorching.
Hit it all the way to the final countdown.
With 18 seconds left in the game, Dwyane Wade held the ball and went inside, and Suhey's unwavering defense stopped when Randolph hit it early, and scored the basketball under Suhey and Randolph.
That shot gave the Miami Heat a 101-100 lead.
And it only gave the Knicks 11 seconds.
The Knicks asked for a last-minute timeout.
During this timeout, Wade ran to the sidelines and shouted: This is my turf. This is my territory.
He roared loudly.
This has become his signature quote.
The atmosphere in the American Airlines Center arena was heightened by him.
Larry Brown didn't feel bad this time, he seemed to be immune.
He finally came out of the shadow of last season's steal of seven kills, after all, it was Suhi who Wade was roaring at now.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
What's more, he can clearly distinguish between the main contradiction and the secondary contradiction.
"Wade got 36 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks tonight, he really performed like a superstar. This stunner adds to his killer temperament, maybe I was a little more conservative in my evaluation of him before, and he is likely to have become a super guard of the same grade as Kobe. ”
Larry Brown said.
Reggie Miller rubbed his temples on the side, and he glanced at Suhi's data. 27 points, 12 assists, 11 rebounds, 4 steals and 1 block. Judging from the data alone, in addition to scoring, Wade is surrounded in all directions.
However, Miller is not easy to say anything now.
The final moment has not yet come.
Miller has confidence in Suhi, who he thinks can solve the Heat perfectly, and he is too confident in Suhi's key ball ability.
If Wade is a killer.
That Suhey is the killer of his father.
Pull it out and shoot it at the wall to take out the killer.
Backbite!
The whistle blew and the final battle began.
Wade chased Sushi all the way, but Sushi ran to the sidelines, just stuck his body with Wade, and easily got the basketball.
After getting the ball, Sushi didn't delay anything.
He ran straight forward with the ball, and Wade's explosiveness and speed were excellent at the top level.
However, when Sushi rushed, he could only passively follow.
Suhey was in the basket in an instant, he was full of momentum, he went straight to the box, he ignored O'Neal's position, and when he got to the free throw line, he took the ball and stepped into the air.
O'Neill was a little hesitant at this time, he was afraid that he would jump too early and be unable to continue, because he had seen Suxi's violent explosiveness in the last confrontation.
After all, he has a psychological shadow, and he does not have the heroism of the former overlord.
As the saying goes, if you hesitate, you will lose, Suhey instantly volleyed in the air, O'Neill saw the opportunity and quickly jumped into the air, he wanted to stop the ball with all his might. But just then, Sushi threw the basketball down, and Randolph jumped up and grabbed it...... Rumble!
Sneak attack!
The moment Randolph's dunk was completed, the lights turned red, the whistle blew, and the game was over.
102:101。
The Knicks led by one point.
Suhi went deep in the final moments, attracting Wade and O'Neal at the same time, and at this time, he assisted the new signing Randolph to complete the stunner.
It was Randolph's 31st point of the game.
It was also the first time in his career that he had scored a shutout.
Or a dunk lore.
He was as excited as a three-hundred-pound child, he took off his jersey, roared excitedly, and ran all over the field, and his teammates next to him didn't hold him. Like a mad boar, he ran from one corner of the court to another, and even came to a kneel in celebration, almost missing the photographer on the sidelines.
Randolph never dreamed that he would reach the climax of his career on his first night with the Knicks.
He's so cool.
The moment the dunk was completed, his dopamine, endophenolphthalein, and adrenaline soared to the extreme.
He's never been so cool.
Su Xi looked at him so crazy, he even had some 'regrets'. He muttered: Look at what he hasn't seen in the world, he already knows that he has pulled up the rod and made a layup.
"Lore! This is the real lore. Randolph got off to a good start in his first game with the Knicks, he completed a super stunner, with Suhey's help, his dunk was accurate and ruthless, he didn't leave Miami any time, he destroyed all the passion at the American Airlines Center arena, he was like a basin of cold water, dousing the celebration bonfire in Miami Beach. Tonight, Wade didn't hold his home. ”
Reggie Miller stood up and shouted at the national audience.
He's excited, he's ten times more excited than Larry Brown was before.
They are invisibly fighting.
This can make Larry Brown very uncomfortable.
He roared at Miller for more than a minute before he said leisurely: "It turns out that Suhee the sheep also knows to be afraid, I thought he would detain O'Neill again." ”
If O'Neill heard this, he would definitely choke him by the neck: You can say a few words, the person who is detained is not a person, and you can provoke Suxi the sheep at will.
O'Neill already felt enough threat for this goal just now.
He even felt that if Suxi really wanted to dunk, he couldn't stop it.
Thankfully the pass was made.
"I feel like the league should look into this Knicks Trail Blazers deal. I suspect there may be a transfer of interests in private, and there is no reason for the Trail Blazers to send Randolph to the Knicks, who is even better than he thought, and he was the most improved player in the league. ”
McBrin said suddenly.
Trailblazers manager Pritchard burst into tears.
After watching this game with mixed feelings, he almost slapped himself twice.
With Randolph finishing the stunner, he already knew his name would be engraved on the Blazers fans' pillar of shame. And the 'list of the stupidest general managers of all time' will definitely have his name.
He really wanted some benefits to be transferred.
The problem is that there is no hair.
I took Antonio Davis' expiring contract and paid a buyout fee of 200,000 Nate Robinson.
Davis' contract expires next year and may not be renewed.
It's equivalent to... I traded Randolph and $200,000 for a bunch of air.
No, a 2007 draft pick.
Let's hope there aren't any super rookies in 2007.
Let's hope we play well next season.
Pritchard is now super depressed throughout.
Who would have thought that Randolph would suddenly become so good?
Randolph beat the head coach and hit him twice, how can this be a garbage contract.
Moreover, he also has a bad record, all kinds of negative news.
All the media treated him like a rat crossing the street, and no team wanted him. The team owner also instructed him to be traded so as not to smash the nearly 100 million contract in his hands.
He originally traded with the Knicks, because he valued the Knicks' stupid money and quickly threw the hot potato over.
But after this game, Randolph refreshed everyone's impression.
I felt cheated.
Pritchard thought to himself.
At the same time, Suhee on the TV also said something like this: "I feel like I've been cheated." ”
"I thought Randolph was a depraved player, he was traded, and I was even ready to buy a helmet for Isaiah Thomas. Who knows... I was amazed at how well he played and how professionally he worked. ”
"At half-time, he was very honest in the dressing room and self-criticized, saying that he was not doing well in many areas. Sitting on the bench in the third quarter and watching our tactical play, it played a crucial role in the fourth quarter. He's really... If this year's All-Star Game hadn't been for him, I'd blame you Knicks fans. ”
"I'm not canvassing for him, but... He deserves it. ”
Suxi said very seriously in front of the TV.
As soon as Suhi's words came out, Knicks fans and Suhi fans immediately took action.
At this time, Su Xi also pulled the shirtless and swarthy wild boar over. "Come on, Zach, let's talk about how you did tonight and how you feel about having completed the lore."
"Whew!"
"Cool !!!!"
Zach Randolph snarls at the camera, fogging the camera.
He thoughtfully wiped it with his jersey.
Then he took the microphone and said: "Thank you to Suhi Goat, thank you to the New York Knicks, thank you to Boss James Dolan, thank you to your Knicks teammates, thank you to management, thank you to all the fans who support the Knicks." I did it! I never imagined that one day I would be on such a positive team, and it was the best professional game I've ever played in my life, and I had my first career slam dunk. ”
"The goat passes the ball for me, God jams me in time. That is, with God's help! ”
"I love Nix, and I'd like to stay here forever."
Randolph said excitedly.
He was even going to cry.
Pritchard in front of the TV was already crying.
Damn, this is clearly playing me.
You're doing a lot of bad things in Portland, and you've played the coach twice. How did the Knicks get so polite?
Are you polite?
Pritchard wanted to cry.
Randolph told the camera: "I'm going to get better and better, and I'm going to help the Knicks get better and better." ”
Pritchard turned off the TV, he didn't want to be stimulated more.
He was shut in time.
Because the reporter asked Randolph: "What do you think is the biggest difference between the Knicks and the Trail Blazers?" ”
"The Trailblazers are like a gang, and here, we're a team, we're family."
