Chapter 1017

However, Falker's reaction made Lamar's already gloomy mood because of Arenas's resistance to arrest at gunpoint became extremely angry.

"I know, he's such a crazy guy! Lamar, I was about to tell you, you'd better stay away from this guy at this time! You know, this guy is in a lot of trouble this time, drunk driving, resisting arrest at gunpoint, and it is said that he has found a lot of marijuana in his car!"

"What are you talking about? he's my comrade!" Lamar couldn't believe his ears.

Falker was obviously taken aback by Lamar's reaction: "What's the matter? Lamar, calm down! What does Arenas have to do with us, although this will affect the strength of the Knicks to some extent, but I believe in you! Your task now is to stabilize the atmosphere in the team, play well in the next games and win the championship, so that we can make more money! As for Arenas, let him go to hell!"

"Very good!" Lamar said with a sneer, "What you said is very good, then Mr. Fawkel, I regret to inform you now, you have been fired, right now!"

Then, without waiting for Falker to say anything, Lamar hung up. He really didn't want to listen to the voice of the well-dressed beast, he had just planned for Falker to help Arenas find a good lawyer in his name, who knew it would become like this.

But fortunately, the league stipulates that players don't have to pay liquidated damages for firing agents, otherwise Lamar is really distressed to give the money he was going to help Arenas find a lawyer.

"It's time to do something!" Although he said that he was going to give up Arenas, Lamar still had a very brotherly affection for Arenas in his heart.

Seeing that his brothers who had fought together were in deep trouble, Lamar couldn't stand by and watch, and he couldn't calm his heart, after all, he wasn't a cold-blooded animal!

At this time, Dampot and Hilario also walked out, and the two of them looked a little worried. Among these teammates of the Knicks, it goes without saying that Darm Porter and Arenas, the former two humming two generals, have a relationship, and Hilario has also developed a little friendship because of the recent opportunities to partner with Arenas. After these two guys read those reports on the Internet, their mood naturally couldn't be calm.

"Is it for Gilbert's business?"

Dampotter nodded heavily, "Yes, Lamar, I don't mean anything else with Ner, I just want to do something for that guy in Gilbert!"

"Of course, we know that Gilbert is going a little too far, but after all, we're teammates. Hilario saw that Lamar's face was not very good, and hurriedly began to explain.

Lamar smiled and patted the two of them on the shoulder: "Okay! If you are brothers, you should share weal and woe! I will take care of Gilbert's affairs, and you can just concentrate on the game!"

"Thank you!

The fact that Arenas was arrested at gunpoint during the finals did not cause much repercussions in American society, after all, things like this happen every year.

Of course, this is also relative. In American basketball, this has caused a storm that is not inferior to a Category 15 hurricane. Los Angeles Lakers fans immediately organized a protest to the league, hoping that the league would punish Arenas severely.

Lakers fans are doing everything they can to help their team, and New York fans are naturally organizing themselves to support their team. While adorable Knicks fans know that Arenas is beyond salvage, they believe Lamar can continue to pull on the miracle with his teammates.

All kinds of experts and professors who were originally unanimously optimistic about the Knicks also began to turn their guns, carefully analyzing the advantages and disadvantages between the two teams, and creating an atmosphere for themselves to switch camps.

For a while, the fans on both sides began to tear each other apart, and some radical guys even began to burn the jerseys, posters, etc. of the enemy players, and even worse, the fans on both sides would fight because of some trivial contradictions when encountered.

In such an environment, Madison and its surroundings have become a pure land.

The reason is simple, because the strong performance of the Knicks in recent seasons has made New York fans snap up tickets to the Finals early. Now Madison is full of Knicks fans, and these fans have spontaneously organized themselves to maintain order on the field in order to reduce the pressure on their players.

On the night of May 13, hours had passed since Arenas' arrest, and the third game was about to start at Madison Square Garden in New York.

With the familiar shouts of the DJ on the spot, Lamar stepped onto the court. The usual slogan resounded through Madison again, but it was a little different that the Knicks team members still gathered around each other after shouting the slogan.

"Don't abandon, don't give up!" The eyes of some veteran Knicks fans present instantly became moist.

Once upon a time, the Knicks also had such a united group of brothers who worked miracles under the leadership of Willis Reed!

Lamar walked to the sidelines, grabbed a microphone, returned to the center of the stadium, looked around at the fans, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, my brother made a mistake! At the moment I think Gilbert has regretted it, none of us want this to happen, but it has happened." ”

"I don't want to defend him here, wrong is wrong! Because I think that as a fan favorite star, Gilbert's behavior is extremely irresponsible, not only hurting himself, but also causing a bad influence among the fans, so this guy doesn't need our sympathy!"

However, there is an old Chinese saying: "If a person is not a sage, who can do nothing?" here I hope that everyone can give him a chance to correct himself in the future. ”

"On behalf of Gilbert and all of us on the Knicks, I apologize to the fans who supported us. ”

"Although I hate Gilbert as a bastard right now, after all, his absence will inevitably affect the rotation of the team, but I am still willing to do my best to help him get back to his free body and get back on the pitch as soon as possible. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to conclude with a solemn promise to you: this year's championship belongs only to the Knicks, and only to the Knicks. If the Knicks don't win the championship this year, then I'll quit basketball after the Finals!"

Lamar's words caused an exclamation from the scene. What is the concept of quitting basketball? You must know that Lamar is only 24 years old this year, and he has not even reached the peak of his career. Jordan was also 30 years old when he retired for the first time because of his father's affairs!

Now Lamar has gambled on his career for the championship, and this courage is really not something anyone can have.

Vanessa, who was there to cheer for Lamar today, was also surprised, and Lamar did not discuss this matter with her in advance. But it was only a little taken aback, and Vanessa didn't say anything after that, she was actually a little entangled in her heart, hoping that Lamar would win the championship and that Lamar could retire.

After struggling for a while, Vanessa made a choice at the first time, and was the first to stand up and applaud Lamar.

Then the audience who reacted, whether it was ordinary people or celebrities in the entertainment industry who came to steal the scene, all stood up and paid the most sincere tribute to Lamar's courage.

The time for the game also came, and the referee beckoned the players from both sides to enter.

Due to Lamar's unexpected warm-up form, the atmosphere of what was supposed to be a Mars collision with Earth quietly changed at the beginning.

"I finally found something in you for me to worship!" Kobe Bryant was also shocked by Lamar's bold words just now: "But it's a pity that I won't see you on the court after four games!"

Lamar was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then shot back without hesitation: "Don't worry! Before you retire, we have more opportunities to compete." It's a pity that you may not get anything after that!"

"I'm going to win this game!"

"Don't worry, I'll keep winning!"

The two of them parted as soon as they high-fived, each going to their own camp.

The starters on both sides have not changed much from the previous two games.

The Lakers still sent five lucky stars, and the Knicks also had a combination of Lamar, Darmsporter, Battier, and Wade Garbillups.

When the ball was jumping, the absent-minded O'Neal lived up to expectations and lost to Darmsporter, and the Knicks got the chance to attack first.

Lamar dribbled the ball past half the pitch, and to his surprise, it was not O'Neill who pounced on the defense, but turned back to Karl Malone.

Seeing such a change, the biggest reaction was Lakers head coach Jackson. When he made the tactical arrangements before the game, he obviously asked O'Neill to defend Lamar, but who knew that when the players arrived on the field, they actually made their own decisions and changed his tactical arrangements.

"Damn!" Jackson cursed in a low voice, his face instantly gloomy.

With Jackson's IQ, he wouldn't have been unable to figure out what was going on. The players are starting to distrust him. This is definitely an intolerable thing for a strong head coach, but Jackson held back and made a decision in his heart.

On the pitch, Karl Malone's first defense against Lamar was a success for the time being.

Lamar tried a few times, but couldn't find a breakthrough. In the end, Lamar had no choice but to pass.

Just when Karl Malone found that he had defended Lamar and was ready to make a comeback, Billups chose to return the ball the moment he received the ball. Lamar, on the other hand, took a sideways stride and shot when he caught the ball.

"Huh!"

Lamar took the lead after the opening, and the fans in the stadium naturally cheered. But the happiest are the Knicks fans who have come from all over the country. 2k reading web
