So Lamar when he knew that Houston was experiencing knee discomfort, ? ?. r?a?n?? E na 'c?om Van Gundy is also cautious now, so the two hit it off, and Houston inexplicably entered the injury list.

As for Lamar Jeff Van Gundy, he is also prepared to use it sparingly. According to the feedback from the team doctor, although Lamar has no problems with his waist, Lamar's physical condition has also been problematic due to the team's eagerness to get a good ranking some time ago. Although Lamar's playing time has been greatly shortened during this period, it has not yet reached the point where people are completely reassured.

The rest of the players were led by Jeff Van Gundy for recovery drills, while Lamar was accompanied by an assistant coach for simple shooting exercises on the sidelines.

"Lamar, almost, take a break!" said the assistant coach, walking over and handing over a bottle of sports drink.

Lamar obediently threw the last ball, took the drink and walked to the side of the court, and sat directly on the ground. Now he cares more about his physical condition than anyone else, and he doesn't want to have any problems at this time, when he still remembers the pain of last season, with the championship just around the corner.

Seeing that Lamar was resting, all the reporters who had been waiting at the door of the training hall surrounded him. Lamar was in a good mood today, and he didn't refuse, nodding and agreeing to the reporters' requests for interviews.

"Game 4 against the Pistons, you have a chance to set a new record and sweep back-to-back playoff opponents. ”

Lamar took a sip of water and said with a smile, "It's a lot of fun, I didn't think about these things before! I love being a legend, and now that my chance comes, I don't think my teammates and I will miss it!"

Just then, Dampot chased the ball past them and yelled at Lamar, "Hey, Lamar, I'm going to make a three-pointer tonight!"

Lamar smiled and waved at him, "Okay! I'll pass you the ball then!"

"Hey, Lamar!" Arenas, who had already learned from Jeff Van Gundy that he was going to be the main player tonight, frowned and said, "Lamar! I'm the starting point guard tonight, and I'm the main target of your passing!"

Before Lamar could speak, Dampoter shouted: "Hell, I think it's better to save your effort with your unreliable three points! Don't show up at that time, let's lose face together!"

Lamar also smiled: "Gilbert, you are not really that inferior, right?"

"Lamar, shut up!" the general suddenly shouted in anger.

One of the reporters surrounding Lamar had just arrived from Detroit, and he couldn't help but sigh when he saw the Knicks' relaxed preparations and this relaxed atmosphere.

"Before the game even starts, the winner has already been decided!" Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked, "Lamar! How are your preparations now?"

Lamar gestured around, "You can see it, we're ready for a victory. I don't think the Detroiters have much chance at this point. I'm sure you all think the same thing, if you want, you can go back and finalize it now, and the title is "Knicks beat Pistons at home, and set another sweep record in the playoffs!" Okay, you know what I mean?"

The reporters were stunned, and they could clearly feel a strong sense of confidence in Lamar's body. Such self-confidence has clearly disappeared in the Pistons players!

After the Detroit Pistons walked out of the airport, the group boarded their bus without even raising their heads. They are now afraid of seeing something that is difficult for them to accept.

Obviously, the current Detroit people can't stand any stimulation! Losing games one after another, the Finals dream is shattered, and even the basketball fans who have always supported them have begun to sneer at them! Everything that happened around them made the already depressed mood of the Pistons players even more depressed, and their spirits were almost broken.

I believe that if possible, they would not be willing to come to New York again to play a game with no hope at all.

The Knicks were so powerful for them, so powerful that they couldn't afford to fight them. All they can do is play and walk away with a defeat, leaving the joy of victory for their opponents and that's it!

The Pistons' bus was like the players on it, moving limply.

Every Pistons player in the bus looked listless.

Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace are in fake sleep. In fact, it is impossible for them to sleep at this time, and they are worried about how they can leave the stadium smoothly after the game is over.

Hamilton was still listening to music, and now only the hip-hop music he liked could put him at ease. But judging from his facial features, it is clear that this piece of music did not have the effect it should have.

Prince was reading a sports magazine, but he hadn't turned the pages for a long time, and his attention was clearly not there.

As for Van Exel, although the old guy has been up and down in the NBA for more than ten years, his mood still can't be calmed. Now even he doesn't know what he's doing, sitting and standing for a while and trying to sleep for a while, which shows how unsettled his heart is when the game comes.

"Chan Van Exel, come here!" shouted Larry Brown, the head coach, who couldn't take it anymore.

Billups glanced at Larry Brown, walked over with his head down, and sat down next to Larry Brown: "Find me something, sir!" Van Exels also knew that Larry Brown was not happy with him, he liked defensive players, and he was a well-known offensive maniac in the NBA. Fan's name as a madman is not nonsense, he can't think of anything else he can do if he gives up the attack.

Larry Brown looked ahead, and all he saw was a huge poster of some Knicks players.

Of course, Lamar is the most numerous. Larry Brown was also a little jealous of Van Gundy. But this is no wonder that the old coach is unbalanced, I am afraid that most of the head coaches in the league now have such a mood, who called Van Gundy has a group of outstanding players like Lamar?

"Van Exel! Are you nervous?" Seeing that Van Exel still looked at a loss after sitting down, Larry Brown couldn't help but ask.

"Nervous!?" Van Exel muttered after a moment's pause.

Van Exel didn't know if he was nervous now, he hadn't felt this way in a long time.

After Bai was ruthlessly abandoned by the Los Angeles Lakers, he didn't know what nervousness was! The years of wandering, questioned and denied by people, had long condensed his nerves as strong as steel Yi. Even he himself didn't understand why a game could make him so restless!

Maybe Larry Brown was right, he was nervous, not for anything else, but because his mindset changed after seeing the hope of reaching the finals.

In the past, he was barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, no matter what kind of enemy was standing opposite, no matter how difficult the situation, he had nothing to fear!

Because he has nothing at all, since he has nothing, he doesn't have to fear losing anything. But now it's different, I thought my team could create a miracle this year, but I didn't expect it to be swept by the opponent. His mind immediately turned into a mess.

Thinking of this, Van Exel smiled bitterly and said with a bitter face: "Maybe I'm getting older and more eager for honor, I don't want to be empty-handed and get nothing after I retire!"

Hearing Van Exel say this, Larry Brown's heart was first shocked, and then a little silent!

Although the old coach had already thought of Van Exel's thoughts, hearing this answer from Van Exel's mouth with his own ears still made Larry Brown feel a little uncomfortable.

Since becoming the head coach of the Pistons, Larry Brown has relied on Van Exel's player the most on the outside. Although Van Exel is not the most suitable point guard for his tactics in his mind, the coach knows that he will not find a better replacement for a while.

Van Exel has all his shortcomings, but the old guy is self-aware and knows what he should do and when. So all the time, the old coach can be said to have a love-hate relationship with Van Exel.

Larry Brown nodded, he wanted to laugh and make Van Exel a little more relaxed, but it was really hard: "Take it easy! I don't want to lie to you, our season is indeed over, but we still have a future! The quality of rookies this year is very good, and the Memphis Grizzlies' draft pick that year is destined to be a top lottery." I think we're going to get a strong rookie! So, I'm sorry, I'm going to wronged you!"

Van Exel looked at Larry Brown silently, he had already thought of such an answer! But he didn't expect this day to come so quickly, he knew exactly what Larry Brown was going to say next, but he still didn't want to give up his position to others, he was not too old to play the ball!

Although Van Exelhe is well aware of his position in the team's tactics, but when it is really time to be changed from the team to the bench, he will inevitably have some feelings of unloading the grind and killing the donkey, hiding the bow of the bird, and cooking the cunning rabbit and the dead lackey!

Van Axel stopped talking, and the atmosphere inside the bus suddenly became more oppressive, and the slightest noise would immediately attract everyone's attention.

The case tightened everyone's nerves, even Rasheed Wallace in False Sleep.

He heard Larry Brown's last sentence just now, and he also heard some of the team's future plans from Larry Brown's words. That's a very dangerous sign for him!
