Chapter 443: A Strong Response

"Lamar! What are you going to do now?"

Lamar's answer, of course, was more radically suppressed, and after dribbling the ball past half-court, he quickly passed the ball to Vince Carter, who was on the side??? ??? .?ranen'net then went inside and received a return pass from Vince Carter near the free throw line.

The Western troops were thrown into disarray by Lamar's sudden move, and Shaq on the inside and Peja on the outside dared to come up and trap them. At this moment, Lamar gently pushed the ball from his waist, and the ball found Mourning as if it had eyes, and the latter shouted and directly hit the ball with a strong two-handed frame.

"Good pass! Lamar! One more later!" tonight's All-Star Mourning can only be regarded as a supporting role, but he is also not short of performance.

Like Shaq's dunk just now, people's attention is no longer on Morning's body, and Lamar, who passed a wonderful shot, is the focus of attention.

If Kobe Bryant's pass helped Shaq score just now, it only reflects his superb passing skills. Then Lamar's centering strategy has fully demonstrated his value as a core player for the Knicks for more than half a season.

In particular, his ability to find holes in the opponent's defense while running, and the last moment of receiving the pass without looking at people is even more amazing.

"Lamar's strength has improved so quickly! When he first entered the league, he was just a hairy kid with a slight talent in organization, and although he was very scary at that time, he was definitely not terrible to this extent! Now Lamar is fully mature, and he has learned how to make himself more reasonable and easier to command the team to win. ”

Magic Johnson is still on the side of Lamar's disciple as always, and he has been in contact with Lamar for the longest time, and it is easier for him to detect the bright spots on Lamar at this moment.

"Kobe Bryant wasn't the same back then!" Abdul-Jabbar said with a laugh, "they're all mature now, and the future of the league is in their hands." ”

"You're trying to tell me that you're better at leading a team than I am, right?" Kobe Bryant grimaced and glared at Lamar fiercely.

Lamar raised his eyebrows and smiled, and began to continue to stimulate Kobe: "I just want to tell you that you can't win me at all now! Your current status is also unworthy of me, and when the Lakers really belong to you, you can talk about it!"

"Then we'll see! The Lakers will soon be mine. ”

Bryant was very sure, which made Lamar not dare to be careless. After all, in his previous life, Kobe Bryant changed his style of play for the championship after getting the assistance of himself, Gasol, Bynum, and Artest, and the manipulation of several assistants on the court like the fingers of the arms gave Lamar a deep impression, especially when leading the United States team to the Beijing Olympics, Kobe Bryant, as the core of the court and the leader of the team, completely integrated a large group of pride of the sky.

Soon Kobe Bryant gave a counterattack, and it seemed to the layman that Kobe had disappeared from the court. But Lamar knows very well that the Western All-Stars have Kobe's shadow in every pass, every run, and every block.

"It's kind of interesting!" Lamar smiled, and also mobilized all his energy, and entangled with Kobe.

"Kobe Bryant, Lamar Odom, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady, AI! Bill Wharton looked very excited when he said this.

"It's exciting, and it may not be long before these guys are going to bring an earthquake to the league. There are so many talented players right now! It's hard to let the NBA be controlled by one team anymore. Splitting the ranks will be inevitable, but that will likely lead to a loss of competitiveness for many teams and a complete second-tier team. The color in Smith's eyes seemed very fascinated by the era of division he was talking about.

"Steve, who are you most optimistic about among these people?"

"It used to be Kobe, now it's Lamar!" Steve Smith spoke in a way that was as direct and clear as his commentary.

"This guy is a headache kid!" Bill Wharton became a big fan of Lamar in his rookie season, and now that he thinks about it, he is still very prescient, and it seems that he has a pair of discerning eyes: "I don't know what to say about him, I just know that he is definitely the same person who can affect the game on his own as I was back then!"

The two people who were fighting on the field did not know that they had been praised by many alliance celebrities as the leaders of the alliance at the beginning of the new century, and at this moment they only had each other in their eyes, and they could only put each other to death.

Like two generals who are gathering strength for the final showdown, Lamar and Kobe Bryant just collided with each other at the start of the third quarter before moving into the background, holding back their strength to fight out the battle in command of the entire army.

So far in the second half, the scores of the two sides are still anxious. Although Lamar wanted to pull the score away, he couldn't succeed due to Kobe's persistence and tough counterattack. Seeing this, the head coaches of the two teams once again replaced all the main players, only Lamar and Kobe Bryant were left on the court, and everyone could see that these two people were going to fight for the last.

Shaq walked up to Lamar with a smile despite Kobe's angry eyes, and asked with a funny expression: "Is that kid difficult to deal with?" You have been teammates with that guy for 2 years, and you should know him very well. It's not realistic if you want to slap him to death!"

"I know, so I didn't even think about slapping him to death, all I had to do was wait for the end of the game to try to perform better than him!" Lamar's response this time was much softer than before, after all, Shaq has always taken care of himself, he knows that the big guy's heart is not bad!

He is well aware that it is simply unrealistic to really compete with Cole in recent seasons. The Knicks and Lakers are not a team in the same tier at all now, and not only in terms of personnel, the Knicks are not as good as the Lakers. Even in terms of morale, the Lakers are now throwing off the Knicks several streets.

Facing the Lakers, who are now in their heyday, Lamar never thought that he could win head-on! But now in this All-Star, he finally got a chance to compete with Kobe Bryant.

"I won't help you!" O'Neill laughed like a naughty child, "and even though he needs someone to teach him, he's still my little brother now." You have to be careful!"

Looking at O'Neal's appearance, Lamar suddenly felt that maybe the relationship between the OK combination was not as simple as he thought, and it seemed that Kobe Bryant had definitely begun to show his ambition to take over the team. This has caused a rift in the relationship between him and the big guys!

Lamar shook his head and tossed his messy thoughts aside. Truth be told, Lamar would love to see the conflict between the OK duo explode early, because then the league will be a little more exciting.

The game resumes with the West Force serveing.

Or Kobe Bryant advanced quickly with the ball, perhaps now there is not only his opponent Lamar on the court, but also Jordan who he wants to beat, Kobe's offense looks even more threatening.

Not to be outdone, Lamar shouted and rushed forward, since face-to-face defense doesn't work, then simply take the initiative to steal.

But Kobe Bryant reacted faster than him, his speed did not decrease, and at the moment when the two were about to collide, the ball flicked his wrist, and the ball instantly tore through the defense of the Eastern team like a sharp sword, and flew directly to Garnett's hand along the right side of the court.

The wolf king also refused to let Kobe be alone, taking advantage of the fact that Mourning and Walker were pinned down by Shi Buddha and Sharks, he jumped up after receiving the pass and scored the ball with a slam.

After scoring the goal, the wolf king did not forget to give a thumbs up to Kobe Bryant, who passed the ball to him, and then waved his arms to make the cheers on the scene a little more enthusiastic.

"Good fellow!" Lamar chuckled at Garnett's slightly flamboyant movements. But soon he set his sights on the expressionless Kobe Bryant, because he was his opponent in this game.

The third-quarter scoring battle was not fun for either of them, but it was enough. Although it is not a win or defeat, it at least proves that Lamar is no worse than Kobe.

And now he attaches more importance to the overall situation than Kobe Bryant, you must know that Lamar has been in charge of the team's organizational tasks when he was in the Lakers, and now that Lamar has left, Phil has not handed over the right to organize to himself, which is very revealing!

Kobe Bryant is going to use this game to prove his worth, and if he wants to organize, he will definitely not be worse than Lamar!

"I've been waiting for this day for a long time!" Bryant glanced at Shaq, and then froze on Lamar's body, not knowing who he was saying this to, maybe it was both.

"I've been waiting for a long time, too!" Lamar smiled coldly, now he seemed less sharp, only calm.

"I know you didn't give your best in the regular season and our two games!" Kobe Bryant's gaze was a little stunned.

Lamar must have looked very calm: "Do you think the strength of the Lakers is that I used my full strength?"

"And now!?"

"It's a different battlefield, and this time I'm going to defeat you in front of everyone. ”

"Joke! Do you think you can do it?" Kobe Bryant felt like he had heard the funniest joke.

"The facts will tell!"

"I'm looking forward to seeing you crawling at my feet!"

"I don't want to give you this demonstration!"

"Hey, you two!" the referee finally couldn't help but speak, these two guys had been talking for a long time, the game couldn't start for a long time, and the audience was already in a commotion. (To be continued.) )
