Chapter 986

Lamar is still trying his best to mobilize the whole team to attack, but with the combination of the Pistons and the Tigers, Lamar's efforts seem to have no effect at all. Vertices are updated the fastest

By the end of the third quarter, the Knicks were 13 points behind, and the initiative of the game was firmly in the hands of the Detroit Pistons. If the Knicks want to turn the tables, I'm afraid it's really difficult.

Sitting on the bench, Lamar's mind was also very confused, and he didn't know what to do next. He's trying his best to be a good leader, but his teammates around him don't seem to be in shape today, and everyone's performance is very average. Lamar admits that the Detroit Pistons are really strong, but the difference in strength between the two teams shouldn't be so big.

Van Gundy was still shouting to cheer the players on, but it didn't seem to be working very well. Everyone in the Knicks room looked very depressed, and the game had reached this point, as if they had seen a loss and another season of futility.

Unlike the sluggish morale on the Knicks' side, the morale is high on the Detroit Pistons' side. Although the starting five tigers are exhausted, they are still gritting their teeth and insisting, for the championship, everything is for the championship!

"Alright, brothers! There's one last game left, let's take out those New Yorkers, and this season's championship will be ours, and it will be the Detroit Pistons!" Rasheed Wallace shouted to cheer his brothers on. By this time, he had forgotten the prison uniform he had been wearing, and at this moment he had truly become a fighter fighting for the Detroit Pistons.

Lamar didn't expect to lose before the game, just like he didn't expect the Detroit Pistons, who were still his losers in the regular season, to become so fierce when they reach the playoffs. But the truth is that he lost!

Despite Lamar's last-ditch efforts, even though he had a game-high 39 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists, even though he knew it wasn't his limit, he still couldn't stop the team from losing.

The red light came on at halftime, and Lamar looked at the dazzling score data, looking at the whole Pistons team members who were celebrating the victory like crazy, and his heart suddenly tingled.

At the end of the third quarter, he could still convince himself that he still had a chance, but when the game was really over, Lamar found that it was really difficult to accept the loss. It's just brutal!

Lamar is the No. 1 player in the NBA, which is recognized all over the world, but he does not have an honor worthy of this title. Listening to the title now, Lamar felt nothing but sarcasm.

"Damn, shit!" Dampott yelled.

After waiting for a season, a whole year, such a result is really difficult for Haitians to accept.

He was ashamed of his performance, and although Lamar created many scoring opportunities for him, he failed to play his best and wasted Lamar's hard work. How does such a performance deserve the honor of the NBA's second team?

Lamar didn't know what to say, and as captain he should comfort his teammates and tell them that the game wasn't over and that they still had a chance. But after walking over, I couldn't say anything like this. It's so hard! To say something like this is to admit defeat, and Lamar doesn't want to say it, so he has to leave.

Van Gundy went to the press conference alone, and Lamar didn't want to see the arrogance of Rashid Wallace after his victory, so he chose to avoid it, and it could even be said that he chose to avoid it.

The game was lost, and the media, which had been at odds with the Knicks, suddenly jumped out of nowhere, like zombies unearthed, and began to attack the Knicks and Lamar as they did before.

Lamar was so irritable that when he returned to New York, he locked himself up in the basketball gym on his estate and never saw anyone.

Lamar began to train like crazy, and it was too embarrassing to lose this game. Lamar lost without being able to play at all his strength, perhaps because he was really suppressed as the media said. Maybe there was some other reason, but Lamar just knew that the game was lost, that he was the core leader and that he had to vent, that he had to win and find a way to get the team back on track.

At this time, no one in the whole family dared to approach Lamar, a family member who is usually kind, and the cold air on his body at this time made Jonathan, a psychiatrist, feel afraid.

Vanessa really wanted to comfort Lamar, but was stopped by Jonathan, and no one could help Lamar at this time, except himself.

After three hours, Lamar had no intention of coming out, and was still frantically abusing the basket in the training hall.

Suddenly, there was a noise, the door opened, and Lamar was stunned when he saw the people who came in. He thought that the AI might come, and Van Gundy might come, but he just didn't expect him to come.

Lamar didn't expect the old K coach to come back. When Coach K pushed open the door of the training hall, Lamar was attacking the basket like a vent, he didn't know how many baskets he had dunked, but when he stopped, he slowly felt that his arms were numb.

"Well done! Maybe you're not a good fit in the NBA, I think you should have a place in the circus. After the old K coach came in, he didn't treat himself as an outsider, took off his mask and threw it aside, leaned against the door and clapped his hands, and kept signaling Lamar to continue.

Lamar frowned and threw the basketball aside in annoyance: "Alright, coach. Now I don't like anyone to be happy, even if I respect you, but please don't challenge my pride!"

"Self-esteem?" Coach K laughed exaggeratedly, "Hey, man, you know what? This is the funniest thing I've heard lately." Self-esteem? Do you have that thing?"

"What do you mean?" Lamar was already a little angry.

Losing to the Detroit Pistons, and losing the game in such a frustrating way, and being held down by the opponent for the whole game, Lamar has never tried it before. He just wants to vent now, whether it's playing basketball or beating people, he just wants to vent! Being provoked by Coach K, his gaze on people suddenly changed and became fierce.

"Why? want to fight?" Coach K looked at Lamar fearlessly. Although the person in front of him was notorious, he didn't care: "Or are you so down that you can only swing your fists now?"

"Alright, Coach. I don't want to play word games with you right now, say, what are you going to do? If you're here to see my jokes, well, you've seen it now. If you want to help me, I really need someone to advise me right now. Whatever it is, whether it's useful or not, I need someone to guide me right now!"

Coach K nodded with satisfaction: "Okay." It doesn't look like you're hopeless right now. That's good! You need me to give you advice, and that's good! I'm happy to help, but before I do that, I want to ask you a question. ”

"You say!" Lamar tossed the basketball over and walked over to Coach K and listened attentively.

"Can you tell me if you really played to your full strength when you were on the court in the last game, or if the guy who was leading the Knicks on the court and the game was the real Lamar Odom?"

Lamar was stunned for a moment, thinking about his performance in the last game, and suddenly felt that he was indeed playing very awkwardly at that time, as if he had endless strength in his body, but he just couldn't play it. It made him feel very awkward, and when he played, he was tied down, and sometimes he didn't even know what he was doing. Although playing like this saved him a lot of physical strength, he was very tired and very tired.

"I don't think I understand what you mean. But in the last game I did feel like I was tied up and I felt very tired from the race. I don't seem to be using my full energy, but I don't know why, do I mean I'm tired of basketball, I'm tired of playing?"

Lamal was surprised when he said this, and he was very worried about whether he was really tired of basketball and the game. It's unthinkable! It's terrible for him, basketball is his life, it's an inseparable part of his body, and Lamar doesn't know what he's supposed to do without basketball.

Coach K was amused by Lamar's panicked appearance and quickly said, "No! Lamar is not like this. You don't have to worry about betraying basketball, your love for basketball is still strong. In fact, you are more determined to chase the victory than anyone else, but you made a fatal mistake on the pitch and that was the key factor that prevented you from playing to the fullest. ”

"What is it?" Lamar asked hurriedly, he now desperately needed to find out what the problem was, and then he could prescribe the right medicine to solve the biggest problem he was facing right now.

When Coach K talked about serious things, he immediately became serious: "Why do you want to accommodate your teammates when you are playing on the field?"

"What?"

Lamar was stunned by the answer given by the old coach K. Accommodating his teammates? He didn't expect Coach K to give this answer at all. He didn't understand when he accommodated his teammates, and he didn't understand why Coach K said that.

Coach K ignored Lamar's surprised look and continued, "Do you know what it takes to be the leader of a team?"

"When people don't let me, this is what you gave me. ”
