Guard With a Knife

Zach Randolph was quick to answer what ESPN couldn't wait to get out of Duke Snoopy's mouth. He appeared at the post-match press conference with a smile on his face. There is no doubt that tonight is one of the masterpieces of his career.

Playing less than 30 minutes, he scored 41 points and 14 rebounds with a super high shooting percentage and led the team to reverse and win.

When the reporter repeated this data, he couldn't help but sigh. This is simply a template for the story of a superstar.

In fact, Fatty Lan was also respected by the players in the locker room. Stephen Marbury praised him with a series of very official words, although he used to feel that outstanding team player, loyal locker room friend, and proven inside barrier was a bit awkward, but when these praises fell on the When it was on his own head, he still couldn't help but smile happily.

He then hugged Stephon Marbury in a comradely mood.

He actually began to enjoy this team atmosphere.

He was then taken to the post-match press conference by team PR manager Tony Johnson, where he was treated to a solitary interview with the media. When he walked into the speech booth, he swore that this was one of the few experiences in his life where all the New York reporters applauded.

He was a little embarrassed. Then he saw the New York Times reporter stand up and praise him, thanking him for a performance of superstar dominance.

This makes Zach Randolph feel as if he is riding a rocket straight into the clouds.

I have to thank the guys behind me, we're a team. We're not ganging up to rob a game, we're attacking like an army. We each have our place and we're assured I'm definitely going to give my back to my teammates... I would never have been so easy on offense without them!

Zach Randolph has remained humble in front of the media.

However, in ESPN's New York Times reporter even praised you as the number one power forward in the NBA today, but many people have locked the name as Stoudemire, or Tim Duncan, Nowitzki, what you think? ’, he replied seriously; “I think I am number one.”

This answer caused some uproar and applause at the scene.

The reporters in New York certainly think that this super double-double forward who scored 40+ is the number one power forward in the league today, but obviously, other reporters don't think so.

Later, ESPN asked a sharp question: Tonight, Snoopy gave up a lot of shots. He has been based on defense and support. Do you think your perfect play has something to do with him? Or, it is because of him. Your sacrifice caused your glory?

This question is full of pitfalls.

However, Randolph avoided it perfectly. His emotional intelligence seemed to be blessed by God suddenly. He smiled and said: Hey, buddy. We are a team and everything we do is to win. Of course , I am very grateful to Snoopy, he made me stronger, there is no doubt about it.

There are always people who will misunderstand the normal operation of a team. It seems that many people comment on Stoudemire and think that he is the first-class forward in the league because of Stephen Nash, but everyone knows that the two are inseparable. .Just like me and Snoopy!

Zach Randolph's high EQ was surprising, and then he even commented on the hottest current news in the NBA: I will never play gambling games with rookies in the locker room, never Not to mention not pulling out a pistol just because of a little bit of pitiful gambling money, this is an irrational and crazy act! Arenas must make a sincere apology to the public, and he must realize that his behavior is harmful to the NBA. It’s a huge injury to say the least.”

It sounds a bit darkly humorous, but Randolph wasn't like this before.

The reporters present even wanted to pry open Zach's head to see what amazing changes had taken place inside.

...

On the sports media of the day,

Zach Randolph is the undisputed protagonist, and his magical performance is uniformly praised. ESPN even included his name in the discussion list of who is the number one power forward in the league today and put it on the homepage of its website.

This once became a hot topic on basketball forums. And there are many voting web pages. In these pages, without exception, Tim Duncan is the person with the highest votes, and although some say he is getting older, his position is still unbreakable.

Stoudemire got the second most votes. Since the Sharks left, he has gained more autonomy. He even hopes to encroach on the throne of scoring this season.

Then...it turned out to be Zach Randolph, and behind him were Nowitzki and Kevin Garnett.

And this... didn't spark a lot of protest. After all, Nowitzki's fans are known for their Buddhism. Although the German chariot has always been in the first camp of the power forward position, and has dominated the Western Conference starting list all year round. But in fact, he has never competed for the position of the league's No. 1 power forward. He has been shrouded in the shadow of two No. 21s since he entered the league. Over time, fans also looked down on these rankings. It's only when the real fire comes that they will show off their impressive statistics and the honor of MVP in the regular season.

As for KG fans, they are now more keen to discuss how to get a Finals MVP trophy. They have become indifferent to Garnett's personal honor. After all, at the beginning of this century, KG has almost won all the personal honors that can be obtained. During that time, he even suppressed Tim Duncan for a time.

Such comparisons and votes are actually not uncommon. They happen in a loop almost every day, and the stars who are named rarely respond.

However, this time, there were actually three parties who responded.

First of all, Tim Duncan, the veteran who has maintained a steady playing style for ten years, can output 20+10 every night, and has surpassed Karl Malone in the historical rankings, took the lead in expressing his respect for Randolph Appreciation: He is extremely talented and has a perfect offensive skills. With Snoopy's help, he has a chance to become one of the best power forwards in the league. In fact, I am already a fan of his.

Tim Duncan has admired Randolph for a long time, and he is not a person who minds others stealing his limelight. He is known as the most humble and low-key superstar in the history of the NBA. Therefore, when the reporter asked him this question, he gave it a frank appreciation.

However, Stoudemire is obviously a little sensitive to some of Randolph's remarks, and Stoudemire, who has recently been in trouble with the Phoenix media, is full of anger. Phoenix's record this season has not achieved a level of satisfaction for the fans, and the Suns management is considered to have done everything they can do for Stoudemire... They sent away Shaq who occupied Amare's offensive space O'Neal, and on the offensive end increased the number of times he attacked with the ball.

However, the record did not meet the expectations of the fans. And Stoudemire rejected an early contract extension this summer. This contract was indeed a bit unsatisfactory at the time, and the Suns did not give the maximum salary. It made Stoudemire feel disrespected.

Now... a lot of media are rumored that Stoudemire will jump out of the player option next summer and become a free agent... In this way, Phoenix will undoubtedly lose a lot, or even get nothing. So... Now there are voices that the Suns intend to trade Stoudemire in exchange for some potential players or draft picks in order to achieve the purpose of rapid reconstruction.

New York is the most mentioned name, and Gentry has expressed his love for the two tough defensive niches, Matthews and James Johnson more than once, even though he already has Grant Hill and Jason Richardson.

Zach Randolph played like a lazy sloth last night, and all his goals were hand-fed by Snoopy. He didn't have to do any work on the field, Snoopy Helping him, helping him draw defenses, even helping him break defenders. Steph and I have never worked so closely together, we just pick and roll, and then we release a lot of energy.

It's not fair to compare him to me. I don't like that discussion.

Stoudemire told the camera that a reporter then asked about his trade rumors. Recently, there have been a lot of rumors that the Suns uniform team no longer wants to reconnect with the No. 9 pick in 2002. If a team is willing to take over, they are willing to trade.

However, there is a big uncertainty in this. Stoudemire is a free agent next year. God knows if he will sign with a trade team at that time. No one wants to get nothing.

It has nothing to do with me, I just want to play seriously. Stoudemire replied calmly, he refused to answer any questions about the transaction.

But then, people around him spread the news that Stoudemire intends to return to his hometown and play for New York.

This kind of rumor makes Stoudemire's criticism of Zach Randolph appear to have ulterior motives, at least not aimlessly.

In fact, there were some speculations in New York at this time: Why not trade Stoudemire with Randolph?

Such speculation was quickly rejected by the New York media. They believed that Randolph was better. Although Stoudemire is the first person in the league to attack the frame at the power forward position and the first person to receive the ball in pick-and-rolls, he still uses his body and body. Technology combined with the best strikers. But... Zach Randolph's chemistry with the Duke is inseparable, and no one wants to unravel the scene of easily beating the Cavaliers.

In a sense, Zach Randolph has completely become the absolute hope of the Knicks inside through a game.

And, in the next second game, he also proved it. He scored 49 points and had nine rebounds against the Charlotte Bobcats. The Bobcats are ambitious this year under the leadership of Larry Brown, frantically testing towards the edge of the playoffs. But the 123-92 carnage left Larry Brown humiliated, especially when he saw Isaiah Thomas clamoring from the sidelines in a suit.

The 1000-win coach left a disgraceful record in New York, when everyone thought it was a problem caused by chaotic players and chaotic management.

But now, Isaiah Thomas is still there, Zach Randolph is still there, and Eddie Curry is also there...but the Knicks already look like a powerful Eastern Conference.

Moreover, Randolph turned out to be a super power forward. At the same time, Milicic, the rookie who was given up by him, also played a career masterpiece in the Knicks. Tonight he had 12 points, 15 rebounds, 3 blocks and 1 steal. His next contract is at least $10 million.

There is no doubt that Larry Brown encountered the most important Waterloo in his life at Madison Garden.

All the people who had been despised by him and abandoned by him all stood up and attacked themselves with butcher knives.

Snoopy is the soul of New York. He revitalizes the entire tactical system and makes every player appear in a position that suits them. If I coach him, I will not impose any constraints on him, even if he brings the Duke Girl to the training ground.

When the old-school academic Larry Brown said these words, it really made people feel a sense of absurdity of time and space disorder. Is this still the Larry Brown of the militarized management? Is this still the stubborn coach who has fallen out with Iverson and Marbury one after another?

Everyone has to thank that Chinese boy, whether it's Stephon Marbury, or Zach Randolph, or Milicic, Isaiah Thomas, it was the arrival of Snoopy that saved their careers. I didn't Make any mistakes, I just didn't get my Duke Snoopy. That's it!

Larry Brown made his final speech with a livid face. He didn't want to stay under the spotlight in New York for a long time, because the mean New York reporters gave him a sense of humiliation.

But in fact, the New York reporters still agree with his final conclusion, and everyone thinks that Snoopy changed everything. But... It should be ridiculed, the New York media will never be soft-spoken. They used their actual actions to prove why there is a saying: If you love someone, send him to New York. If you hate someone, send him to New York.

Kevin Garnett obviously doesn't like New York a little bit. Before he went to New York, he published a tirade. From last year's finals to Zach Randolph's sudden rise this year. This is the first time the Celtics and Knicks have played against each other this season. He looked suffocated with anger.

In a sense, when he glared at the camera.

Duke Snoopy also suffocated some kind of flame deep in his heart, and he didn't know why he appeared in the high-end villa on Long Island. Britney said to bring him here to see the world, and then he met Taylor Swift here.

This looks like an elaborate premeditation.
