Guard With a Knife

"Hey, Snoopy. Don't think of forming a defensive influence on me like you used to."

When Dwight Howard saw Snoopy coming, he proudly declared: "I am no longer who I was before."

Snoopy smiled unfailingly. He didn't think Dwight Howard was much stronger than before, although his small hook seemed quite accomplished. But it's not that I haven't made progress during this period.

He turned and walked to the free throw line.

Based on the Magic's defensive system, Dwight Howard could not extend beyond that distance to defend. So... Ryan Anderson, who was acting as a power forward, had to step forward and follow Snoopy's pace closely.

This is the drawback of the Magic’s current tactical system. They are not afraid of teams with strong perimeters, but if they pursue a defensive strategy of one big and four small, if they encounter a power forward who has a wealth of offensive methods/passing styles, they basically It will be very uncomfortable... For example, Kevin Garnett of the Boston Celtics and Paul Gasol of the Los Angeles Lakers.

In addition, the Magic are also very afraid of teams with super centers. Every time he encounters the Rockets with Yao Ming, or the San Antonio Spurs, or even the Cleveland Cavaliers with the old Sharks, Dwight Howard appears to be invincible on the defensive end.

After Stephen Marbury got the ball outside the three-point line, he immediately passed the basketball to Snoopy.

Ryan Anderson faced the Lord Duke facing the basket, and he subconsciously took a step back. He is a tall shooter. As a white forward, his defense is not very good. With a height of close to 210, he can't keep his focus low.

Although today's Lord Duke is not a top crossover master, he still can't move to the ground like Iverson/Wade, and then use super explosive force to screw off his opponent's ankle... Watching his opponent fall to the ground in embarrassment, Easily step into the restricted area to complete the attack with assassination. However, he is basically regarded as one of the smoothest players in the league and the player who has the ability to break through the top 20 in the league.

Ryan Anderson faced such a terrifying Lord Duke, and he was very nervous.

However, Snoopy was extremely relaxed, bang bang bang!

The basketball jumped down his hips obediently and obediently, and the fancy and skillful movements caused the ladies and beauties on the sidelines to scream.

They like such a Duke.

In fact, Gary Forman was also happy from ear to ear.

As the management, as the general manager responsible for the club’s profitability, he doesn’t like the ugly defense with punches and punches. What he likes to see is the most appealing beautiful man in the league with his fancy moves to win all the headlines. The popularity of the Bulls has increased to a new high.

This is why he stood on the side of Lord Duke with a clear-cut stand, and even asked Tom Thibodeau to follow Snoopy's tactical thinking. To be honest, he once said something very hurtful: Listen, Tom. Why not try to accept Snoopy's style of play? In fact, you only need to do your job well before you can get the salary and praise of the head coach. Isn't that bad?

Frankly speaking, this is not enough respect for Thibodeau. Everyone knows that Thibodeau used to be an assistant coach, and he finally became the head coach. As a result, the team management still regards him as Snoopy's assistant coach. Although Foreman emphasized that it was just a joke in the end, he is indeed slowly smelling that the familiar feeling is returning to him. What he is doing now is no different from what he did in Houston/Boston.

Fortunately, Snoopy is a humble and sincere young man. He never yelled at himself like Jeff Van Gundy, nor did he instruct him like Dogrives...except for offense and Joe King. Noah, he almost obeyed every command of his own, including arriving at the arena at 7:30 in the morning for fifty return runs.

"Look, look at Snoopy's movements, he evoked cheers from the audience, poor Ryan Anderson looks like a clumsy hippo in front of him, oh... no, it should be a creeping sea lion! God! , It’s incredible, Snoopy actually played a crotch in front of him and pulled the ball back..."

Gary Forman's voice filled Tom Thibodeau's ears along with the high-pitched female screams beside him. With those screaming ‘my-god! duke...’ sounds, he even suspected that he was attending a concert of a rock star.

"Snoopy is too showy, this is not Locke Park..."

Qiao Jin Noah's complaints have not yet been fully spoken, and there was a fierce roar on the court. Upon closer inspection, James Johnson, who replaced James Johnson, has jumped from the basket.

The sound of the United Center Arena reached its peak at this moment.

Everyone was chanting the name of Duke Snoopy.

With the playback of the big screen overhead, the scene boiled again. It turned out that after Snoopy played with Ryan Anderson wantonly and used a second worship to turn his swing to the left, he suddenly stepped forward. Howard subconsciously made up his seat. At the same time, Snoopy had already used a back. Hit the ground and send the ball to James Johnson who penetrated the bottom line in the form of a no-look-pass.

James Johnson jumped up and completed this unconstrained offensive with two-handed dunks.

"I really shouldn't believe that Snoopy two years ago couldn't even dribble." Derrick Rose, who was sitting on the bench in a suit, looked shocked. If time goes back to the ncaa finals, Ross, who was blocked by Snoopy at the time, would never believe that Snoopy will one day play as fancy as Jason Williams. And, he became his teammate.

"Hey, I said Tony. Should we raise the ticket price a little bit." The smile on Gary Forman's face is already like a blooming rose, and it can no longer be restrained.

And his assistant Tony can only show shock: "Our top-level tickets have been sold for almost one hundred and fifty dollars..."

This price is definitely the top level in the NBA. You should know that this price can even get a VIP seat in the front row in Minnesota or Milwaukee. But in Chicago, they only sit in the top position, which is equivalent to hanging in the sky.

"Why not? Snoopy brings not only the basketball game, but also the atmosphere of the concert, as well as the great shots of the movie screen." Gary Forman said triumphantly: "You have to provide all the services It's all counted in."

Listening to the general manager of the team boasting in his ears, Tom Thibodeau felt extremely uncomfortable. Because he realized that the Bulls are about to enter the style of pursuing a gorgeous offensive, the iron-blooded defense he built will be completely annihilated.

however…….

Puff puff!

The sound of heavy muscle crashing soon came from the backcourt, and looking up, Snoopy was already holding the pace of Dwight Howard.

Howard received the pass at the free throw line and immediately slammed into it...poof!

Snoopy completely withstood his offensive in the first hit, although the bull-like collision made his steel-and-iron chest aching. But when Howard came in for the second time, he still slipped to block.

Immediately, Howard turned around and tried to get rid of. But today's Lord Duke is no longer the inconvenient steel robot of the year. He followed up quickly, even one step faster than Howard.

Howard hit three times, only made one step forward, and completely fell into a defensive quagmire.

He could only give up rushing, stop quickly, and use his height advantage to crush Snoopy's body to force a hook. Snoopy was suppressed, unable to cover his hook. But at this time Howard is also in a very unfavorable shot position.

From a defensive perspective, it has been very successful.

At least, Tom Thibodeau has rubbed his palms vigorously, and his eyes are full of excitement. Not inferior to Gary Forman when he saw Snoopy fancy playing Ryan Anderson.

However, he was more restrained and did not show it.

But deep in my heart is already: f--k! f--k!! This special is the iron blood I want, this special is the no-fly zone I want!!

boom!

Unsurprisingly, Howard's stiff little hook failed to hit the basket.

The basketball bounced back high.

Ty Gibson quickly scored to grab rebounds. But he was a step slower, and Vince Carter took the lead and forcibly snatched it away.

This made Jokinoa, who is known for his defensive rebounds, shouted from the sidelines: Snoopy's super defense was wasted! sh-t!!

At this moment, he wanted to stand on the court as himself. Because this defensive rebound was simply a pizza that Snoopy himself fed into his mouth, but Tay Gibson hadn't even bitten it and dropped to the ground.

Extravagance, waste, the full man does not know that the hungry man is hungry.

Fortunately, Vince Carter's layup was interfered by Snoopy, and the basketball failed to hit. Then Snoopy jumped up and forced Howard to hand the basketball to Tay Gibson with a slight advantage of half a finger ahead.

Immediately, the game continued.

Lord Duke continued to use fancy dribbling skills to play Magic's Ryan Anderson on the free throw line. His high center of gravity became a scarecrow that Snoopy played casually.

When the screams in the arena filled with screams, Tom Thibodeau’s serious face couldn’t help but smile a little~www.ltnovel.com~ The more he looked, the more he found Snoopy pleasing, because he was true on the defensive end. It's fierce! More fierce than Kevin Garnett + Patrick Perkins! It satisfies all his illusions about defense in the penalty area.

Huh!

Ten seconds later, Snoopy used a small left-handed toss to narrow the difference to four points.

Looking back, Dwight Howard still forced singles.

Snoopy's phrase "You don't look like a superstar" is generating negative energy in his heart. He who has always played happily playing basketball no longer grinned, but gritted his teeth and violently confronted him physically.

However, his shot still missed.

However, Ty Gibson did a bad job. He was a little hastily. Before the basketball fell completely out of the basket, he took off the rebound in advance, was caught on the spot by the referee, and gave the Magic two points for nothing.

This caused Jokinoa on the sidelines to sigh and sigh.

He kept emphasizing to the bench: "If I were to cooperate with Snoopy on the court, Howard would never throw the basketball. I would shoot his shot to the fiftieth the moment he just shot. Platoon of spectators!"

He strongly emphasized this point.

His heart also changed unconsciously, and he felt that his cooperation with Snoopy would be more efficient. He thinks Ty Gibson is wasting the defensive talent of Lord Duke!!

He didn't even notice this subtle change.

However, Tom Thibodeau had already thought of the future defensive blueprint in his mind, and the corners of his mouth smiled unnaturally. Because he discovered how Jokinoa perfectly obeyed Snoopy's dispatch, their defensive combination can indeed cover from the free throw line or even the three-point line all the way to the basket... Over time, they can even form a defensive life and death that makes top strikers fearful. line!
