Guard With a Knife

When Westbrook hangs on the basket in the frontcourt and roars.

The haze lingering over the Los Angeles Memorial Stadium has finally been diluted.

The fans at the scene began to shout the names of Westbrook and Snoopy.

It seemed a bit messy at first.

But later, the fans automatically gave up the twisted pronunciation of Russell or Westbrook, and instead shouted the smoothest name in unison.

"Snoopy!" "Snoopy!" "Snoopy!"

110,000 people shouted in unison, and the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum instantly formed a storm of waves. The long-suppressed home fans finally found hope of winning at this moment.

beep!

Amidst the momentum, Bill Self reached out to ask for a timeout.

At this time, the morale is like a rainbow. If the game is not interrupted for a while, the Kansas Eagles are very likely to be overtaken by a wave.

"Why didn't that stupid pig, Ben Howland, replace Snoopy sooner?"

Bill Walton roared in the ESPN commentary booth, his ashes-like heart revived by Snoopy's violent block block, his voice raised and his whole body became refreshed: "Snoopy completely controlled the defense .When he stands on the court, the offense is smoother, and even Westbrook's bomb boy is much more obedient."

"Snoopy is just me! Last time I promised to teach him some inside moves, but then I forgot. Tonight, I will definitely invite him to my house as a guest. I will teach him my full set of offensive and defensive skills. "

Bill Wharton was not shy about his compliments.

At this time, the NBA scouts and general managers on the sidelines were also whispering. The defensive footwork that Snoopy showed just now broke their previous established cognition. They originally thought that Snoopy was a short center forward with slow feet. But this block proved that his speed surpassed Darrell Arthur, and blocking Derrick Rose at the end of the game was not a flash in the pan.

Mobility is particularly important on the NBA's assessment table. The current NBA has higher and higher requirements for the mobility of inside players, because the pace of the game is getting faster and faster.

"Hey, Stephen, we should take him to Phoenix."

Shaquille O'Neal held Dwyane Wade's neck and said to Stephen Nash, who was seated two adjacent.

Stephen Nash was talking to Kobe Bryant at this time, and what they were talking about was actually Snoopy stuck the defender for Westbrook in the last possession. Kobe Bryant appreciated this action very much. He believed that inside players should have this kind of self-consciousness of serving the outside, and he told Stephen Nash: Stoudemire would definitely like this kind of 'point guard' very much, not that The 'point guard'.

"Of course." Stephen Nash raised his head and answered Shaquille O'Neal: "This guy's defensive ability is what we desperately need."

Shark nodded with satisfaction: "In this way, Phoenix has three point guards."

LeBron James sat in the middle. He is not a person who pays attention to sports gossip. He asked Dwyane Wade next to him: "Three point guards? What do you mean?"

Dwyane Wade smiled and explained the ins and outs to LeBron James.

LeBron James' sense of humor in 2008 was not even as high as his hairline, and his mind was still immersed in the "blessing" Tim Duncan gave him a year ago. He thought about it seriously, and replied: "That Chinese player does have the potential to become a point guard. His previous assist was very point guard thinking."

For the seriousness of this old friend, Dwyane Wade is a bit dumbfounded. He turned to his former teammate and said, "Shaker, I think you should go to Cleveland and coach LeBron for two years. He has such a lack of sense of humor."

The shark grinned: "NO, Stephen needs me, and Amare can't do without me. I have to think about saving him after Phoenix wins the championship.

"

The VIP seats were full of chatter and laughter, and the cameras of NBC and ABC were all aimed at this side, hoping to capture more interactions between NBA superstars, which would be a good boost to the ratings.

But TNT has a different approach. Their cameras are always aimed at the bench, and the microphones are fully open.

Their slanted swords finally won them first-hand consultation.

Snoopy told Ben Holland on the bench: "Within three steps, my speed can follow most of the inside players. So, if Darrell Arthur continues to face me next, it will still be difficult for him. Playing a consistent rhythm on the offensive end. But I definitely can't guard every shot he takes."

Snoopy is very strict.

Ben Howland nodded, and he regained some confidence in his heart.

But when he turned around, he didn't know what to say to the players.

After Kevin Love left, he lost control of the team, because at that time he lost all hope. Seeing the team's point difference widened to 13 points and the core of the offense left, he was already planning for the next season. Even thinking that winning the overall runner-up this year has completed the task at the beginning of the season.

However, in the situation where he lost confidence. Snoopy stood up, and he commanded the whole team decisively, and all the players obeyed his orders.

So now Ben Holland has a sense of the absurd: Am I getting snooped out?

This feeling often lingers in the minds of some NBA coaches. In the commercial league of the NBA, superstars have far more power to speak than ordinary head coaches. Therefore, many head coaches will take the initiative to give up command to the ball at critical moments. The chosen son of the team, let him decide the direction of the game.

But, here is the NCAA. The words of the NCAA head coach are authoritative.

But why... Snoopy's words are more effective. He's not a superstar either, he doesn't even have the ability to shoot.

Ben Howland was puzzled.

"After tonight, Snoopy's draft pick will skyrocket, and he may even enter the lottery zone. He has shown the characteristics of a leader in the locker room. When the game is at an impasse, everyone chooses to trust and follow him. This is Great personality." Earl Johnson said in the commentary booth: "Also, his defensive steps have improved significantly. In the current environment where defensive insiders are in short supply, many teams will definitely be willing to bet on him. After all, he is a Chinese player!"

"No, no. Earl, you're a little too optimistic."

Kenny Smith is very sober. He said: "The advantages that Snoopy has shown so far are not enough to enter the lottery zone. You must know that his current reference object is the NCAA level. Become a headless chicken, being played around by those talented front and back swingers."

"Kenny, you may be right. But." Charles Barkley said: "Now there is an excellent opportunity for Snoopy to show. The Kansas City Fasthawks have two very different inside players. If Snoopy In this game, Nuby can not only defend the space-type Darrell Arthur and D Jackson. He can also contain the standing center Cole Aldridge and Sasha Cowen. Then...he will definitely be this year's lottery pick .”

The voice just fell, beep!

The whistle sounded.

Kansas made substitution adjustments, and they replaced No. 45 player Cole Aldridge.

Cole Aldridge is 211 cm tall, weighs 116 kg, and has a wingspan of 226 cm. This year is his freshman season, and he didn't get many chances to play in the regular season. However, in the semi-finals against the University of North Carolina, he replaced Sasha Cohen, a Russian senior, and scored 9 points, 8 rebounds and 4 blocks, becoming the biggest contributor to the victory.

When Snoopy sees him walking onto the field side by side with Darrell Arthur.

He knew that his test had finally come!

...

[PS, Cole Aldridge is not LaMarcus Aldridge. This Aldridge was the No. 11 pick in 2010. Nice blue collar! 】
