Seeing this, Hilario flipped his palm slightly, and passed the ball to the unmarked Billups like a defender. The latter was not greedy for credit after getting the ball, and threw the ball to the rebound with a high throw, and Hilario, who was quickly inserted, jumped up and slammed the ball with one hand.

"Ahhh

In the last game, the Brazilians were slowly grinded by Raheem, and the half of the game was inactive, and it was only in the second half that it broke out. Unfortunately, it was too late, and he decided to prove that it was impossible for the old cripple abandoned by the Grizzlies to stop him.

At the beginning, they enjoyed two high-level goals, and the fans at the scene gradually let go of their hands and feet, temporarily forgetting about Lamar's ban, and began to cheer for the Knicks with concentration.

For a moment, Madison seemed to have changed into the image of the original bandit nest again.

The morale of the team was knocked down, and Stojakovic, who was the core of the team that spared no expense to cultivate, naturally could not do nothing. As soon as the Kings' offense advanced to halfcourt, the basketball was in Stojakovic's hands. The Serbian did not hesitate after receiving the ball, and jumped up directly to shoot. He's had a really good hand during this time, and he can make six or seven three-pointers almost every game, which gives him a lot of confidence in himself.

But this time, before Peja's basketball could be shot, Simmons slapped him on the arm and fell to the ground with the ball.

Just now, Simmons didn't expect Stojakovic to shoot so resolutely, and he shot at least a meter away from the three-point line. This made the somewhat careless Simmons a little unprepared, and he had no choice but to foul.

Simmons clearly remembers Billups' pre-game explanation to him, even if it is a foul, it will never allow the Cypriot to make an easy shot from their three-point line.

Along with the referee's whistle, the fans at the scene also gave Simmons a warm applause. It's just strange that the team boss was bullied, and no one in the Kings team was willing to stand up and help Stojakovic get ahead. It can be seen that Stojakovic, the position of the boss, is not so solid, after all, except for Reggie Miller and Ray Allen, there is no pure scorer who can sit firmly in the position of the team's boss.

"Bobby, don't leave him that big next time!" Van Gundy stood on the sidelines and yelled at Simmons, his eyes full of approval.

Simmons didn't speak, just made an OK gesture to Van Gundy, although this defense was not successful, but at least Simmons had a general understanding of Stojakovic's strength: "That guy is a soft egg!"

In the end, the referee, after studying the footage, determined that Stojakovic did not complete the shot after Simmons fouled him. So the Kings only got one touchline ball.

After protesting a few times, the unwilling Stojakovic saw that the referee did not change his mind, and his face began to become bad, so he immediately confessed.

Stojakovic's soft-ass behavior has caused the Kings' morale to drop even more. Without the male lion of Chris Webber, no matter how powerful the lion pack led by a sheep is, it will not become the king of the grassland! Even if that sheep is the hegemon of the sheep, no matter how powerful it is, no matter how good it can be convulsed, it will not be able to explode too strong in combat effectiveness. What's more, now this head sheep is not followed by a group of lions, but a group of sick cats!

The inaction of the Kings team suddenly boosted the morale of the Knicks. The team's poor record during this period has put them under a lot of pressure, and the Knicks' players also want to take advantage of this big win to make their difficult road a little smoother

The home win over the Sacramento Kings was a great relief for the Knicks. But in the eyes of many basketball experts, the symbolism of this game is much greater than the actual significance of the game itself, after all, even if Lamar is suspended and many players are suspended due to injury, the overall strength of the Knicks is much better than that of the Kings, who are troubled internally and externally.

If the Knicks do get a home-and-away double by the Sacramento Kings tonight, then the Knicks' future is really in jeopardy until Lamar returns. But fortunately, the Knicks' players finally survived this hurdle and took their fate back into their own hands.

However, despite a big win at home, the Knicks' road ahead is still full of challenges. At the start of the season, they were so strong that they became hostile to the rest of the league and were in a position of criticism, with all teams proud to beat the Knicks. Now that Lamar is suspended, the team is in the most difficult period, and those teams that have been trampled under the feet of the Knicks before will inevitably take advantage of this opportunity to fall into the ground.

On January 17, 2004, after a day off, the Knicks flew to Washington to challenge the Wizards led by Antoine Jamison.

Since Lamar joined the Knicks, the Wizards haven't won a single game with the Knicks. Having suffered a crushing defeat to the Knicks for three years in a row is an absolute shame for Washington fans, and no team wants to add such a shameful message to their team history. So when the Knicks came to Washington to challenge with the remnants this time, Jamison, as the boss of the team, made up his mind to pay attention to the long-lost victory in the sick cat of the Knicks.

Now the Knicks, the tiger of the Megatron Alliance, is indeed sick, but after all, there are still a number of fierce generals such as Billups and Wade. Even if the tiger is sick, it is still a tiger, but it is not something that anyone who wants to come up and touch can touch it.

The Wizards want to be disgraced on their doorstep, and the Knicks want to defend their royal dignity. With a strong belief, the two teams came up with their own solutions, and the two sides played inextricably at the beginning of the game, and they did not give in to each other.

The strong interior of Dampot and Hilario showed the Washingtonians why their Kwame Brown and Haywood could only be second-rate characters, and even if they both had good strength, they couldn't stop the Knicks' violent interior line from wreaking havoc under their baskets.

In addition to ability, Jamison, who has the height of a big forward but plays a small forward position, frequently fires on the outside, so that the Knicks, who lack defensive titan Battier, know what it means to have a big basket.

Jamison's breakthrough isn't sharp, but his shot is definitely a masterpiece. It's not because of how high his three-point shooting percentage is or how high his mid-range shooting percentage is, it's the guy's height and the way he chooses to shoot, and the shooting point, which is really weird. Some of the opportunities that were obviously not chances got into Jamison's hands and drilled them into the basket one by one.

The game lasted until the end of the third quarter, when the Washington Wizards, who were playing at home, only led the Knicks by three points, and neither side was able to beat anyone down.

Just when people thought that a battle of the dragon was going to go on like this, until the end of the game, Larry Hughes, who had been silent for three quarters, stepped up. This guy's strength is not bad, but his best way of attacking has always been to break through, and shooting has never been Larry Hughes's forte.

It seems that the character of the first three quarters has been saved up to the fourth quarter, and after the fourth quarter of the game, Larry Hughes' shooting percentage became surprisingly high. Although he is not the star of the Wizards today, but the hot-handed Larry Hughes doesn't care so much, he now feels that the basket in front of him is as big as the sea, and all he thinks about is how to take down the Knicks, so that people know that Lamar can humiliate the Washington Wizards from head to toe is because the Wizards didn't have him at that time!

Jeff Van Gundy saw that Larry Hughes was completely crazy, and hurriedly sent Arenas, wanting to let the same crazy general come on the field to fight against Larry Hughes, so as to disrupt Larry Hughes's feel and rhythm.

It's a pity that Larry Hughes's madness tonight is destined to disappoint Jeff Van Gundy, he is not a soft ass like Stojakovic, he has his own resilient mental system.

In the face of Larry Hughes, who fell into madness, Van Gundy had no choice but to implement Jordan tactics against him, but unfortunately, this could not stop Larry Hughes's crazy performance.

Fouls? It's okay! Larry Hughes' free throws tonight, even with just one hand, would have solved the problem. As a defensive warrior, Larry Hughes has more odd jobs on him, and Arenas should kneel on the ground and pour tea and worship him as a teacher. Stopping him from shooting? That would be a piece of cake! Larry Hughes showed people with practical actions that his housekeeping skills are breakthroughs.

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

The Knicks were just played to death by Larry Hughes alone. If Larry Hughes' shooting percentage in the fourth quarter had been a little lower, the game would have been fully played, but the question was that Larry Hughes, who had fallen into a sealed state, had already swung his sword, and who could get his sword back in the box.

In the end, the Knicks could only leave Washington with a loss, which also made those media reporters who had been waiting to see the excitement for a long time happy. As soon as the results of this game came out, these reporters couldn't wait to start singing about the Knicks, believing that the Knicks, who lacked Lamar, would definitely collapse and lose.

In fact, it's no wonder that the reporters are arrogant, after all, when Lamar was there before, the Knicks were gods who blocked and killed gods, and Buddhas who blocked and punished Buddhas. At that time, the Knicks not only won the Washington Wizards, but also won every game, and won in one breath to this day! Looking at the present, without Lamar, the Knicks would not even be able to win a victory in Washington, and the gap between the two is naturally self-evident.
