The team-mates are well aware of what will happen to Lamar if he plays at this time, and all the blame for the defeat will be thrown on Lamar's head. Vertex Update is the fastest, and when the time comes, it will be questionable whether he will be able to get a foothold in New York. But they also felt that Lamar should play because it was a man's responsibility!

They don't want their boss, brothers, and friends to be unaccountable.

"Go ahead, Lamar, it's your responsibility! So much has happened during this time, I think even if the game loses, the fans will understand!" At this time, the team owner, James Dolan, stepped forward, smiled at Lamar, and nodded at Jeff Van Gundy.

Jeff Van Gundy sighed helplessly, although he was unwilling, but he still dutifully fulfilled the coach's accusation to arrange the tactics of the second half.

Billups looked at Lamar listening carefully to the tactics, and his already sharp eyes added a lot of confusion, and he looked up at Davis beside him: "Man! The guy we know seems to be back again!

Antonio Davis is also in a lot of energy now, and said to Billups with a smile: "Of course! I've been humiliated by that dead face of the Spurs these days, and now that I have the opportunity to take revenge, what is there to hesitate about!"

As the minutes passed, Lamar, who was sitting in the locker room, was living like a year, looking very anxious.

At this point, Lamar's knot had opened, and now all he was thinking about was the team. With three consecutive losses and just half a game, he knows that the current Knicks are no longer a strong team in the league.

Although this team includes a large number of basketball superstars in his world, such as mid-pitcher Alan Houston, Flounder Chaun Billups, Batman Shaun Battier, Haitian monster Dampoter, and General Arenas, these people would not be able to form a whole without him.

Lamar doesn't know if he can wake up his teammates in the second half, and if he can lead the team to create a miracle again, but even if he really loses the game, he has to take all the blame, and he has to go! That's his responsibility, he has to take it himself. Otherwise, if the crazy New York fans really do something to come out, he will definitely regret it.

'There are five minutes left before the second half starts. After Jeff Van Gundy finished speaking, he thought for a while and couldn't help but try to persuade Lamar to dispel his thoughts: "Lamar! You have to know that once you play, if the Knicks still lose the game, you will have to bear unimaginable pressure! It's too late for you to change your mind." ”

"Jeff, you don't have to say it, I have to play! I don't expect to turn the tide now, in fact, I know that even if I play against the sky in the second half, it doesn't necessarily make a difference. But I have to play, even if I die, I have to die on the field, that's my responsibility, even if I end up being disgusted by the fans. ”

What Lamar said was disgusted by the fans, Jeff Van Gundy was also very clear. This was one of the factors that Van Gundy tried to persuade Lamar to quit playing.

Previously, after losing Game 4 of the Finals, a very well-known local fan leader in New York said in an interview that if the team still has nothing left this season, they will let the irresponsible Lamar and the incompetent New York Police Department bury their beloved Knicks.

It is very common in the United States for fans to make trouble and cause riots! In Europe, it is even more noisy, and almost every year, professional football hooligans pick quarrels and provoke trouble because of the team's loss!

Once a Major League Baseball Los Angeles Dodgers fan had a riot and died after the team lost the championship!

And after the 1998 NBA Finals, Utah Jazz fans also caused chaos in Salt Lake City.

Jeff Van Gundy knew if the Knicks did lose the championship after this game. Anger and disappointment can make it easy for New York fans to lose control of their emotions.

The government had apparently anticipated this, as the outside of the Madison Square Garden arena had already been surrounded by heavily armed police, and the arena's security was several levels higher than usual.

Lamar saw such a scene the moment he entered the arena. So tonight he's going to play in the first half anyway, he's going to do everything in his power to win the game and stop the riots! Lamar doesn't want his fans to bleed.

At this time, the atmosphere in the Madison arena was tense to the point of exploding, and the fans' minds were long gone from the game, they were all waiting, waiting for the game to be razed to the ground after the game. As their leader said, since the Knicks are destined to have nothing this season, they are going to bury the entire city for their beloved team.

Jeff Van Gundy was now sweating profusely, and Lamar's stubbornness was relieved and his heart was in his throat. If you win, you'll be happy, and if you lose, Jeff Van Gundy will regret his compromise tonight!

Looking at the electronic scoreboard at the top of the arena, Jeff Van Gundy now has the heart to die.

With less than 11 minutes remaining, the team is still 19 points behind the Spurs, although the team's form has recovered since Lamar came on the court. All the tactics that can be used have been used, and at this moment he is powerless!

The thought that Lamar might become a sinner in New York after today made Van Gundy's heart gloomy for a while.

The Knicks fans on the court also lost the excitement they felt at the beginning of the second half when they saw Lamar on the court again, and they obviously decided that the team was going to be strong, and they just wanted the game to end quickly and then escape from this place.

"What happened?" Jeff Van Gundy, who had been thinking about tactics with his head down, or rather regretting his compromise, looked up and looked around, and soon he was stunned.

Not only Jeff Van Gundy, but even the fans in the stands who were about to leave were all stunned, looking at Lamar who jumped onto the rostrum after a successful slam dunk with a shocked expression.

"Oh my God! It's Lamar! What is this guy trying to do?"

"Is he crazy?"

"Hell, there's no suspense in the game, it's all over! It's over! Is he crazy to be stimulated by doing this now!"

There was a commotion in the arena, but Lamar stood on the podium as if he hadn't heard it at all, holding the microphone in his hand and shouting, "Guys, the game is not over yet, I want you to fight with me to the end, I need you, my teammates need you, and the Knicks need you even more!"

"Fight!

"Fight!

Lamar ignored the silence of the fans, stood on the rostrum and roared with all his might, trying to arouse the fighting spirit of all the Knicks!

"Hell, Lamar, I don't mind letting you off the court if you don't get back to the court!" The referee was stunned for a while, but then regained his previous majesty and gave Lamar a technical foul without hesitation.

Van Gundy looked at Lamar's crazy move, and he also woke up suddenly. Almost subconsciously, he rushed to the position of the podium and paused! Taking advantage of the pause, Lamar was able to continue this crazy move!

Gradually, many Knicks fans who were originally disappointed and ready to leave sat in their positions again, ready to believe in Lamar once, and ready to fight with their beloved Knicks!

Although Lamar's crazy move has awakened the fighting spirit of fans and teammates, it is really difficult to get excited in this form on the field at present. With a 17-point gap and less than 10 minutes of playtime, even Lamar couldn't have turned the tide.

"Do you think we still have any hope of winning?" Alan Houston walked over and looked at Lamar with a sneer on his face, he was now full of resentment towards Lamar. Lamar weaves a championship dream in his heart, but he destroys it with his own hands.

Lamar didn't want to explain anything to Alan Houston at this time, and the time for the game was running out.

Ginobili hit a basketball, and the gap widened to 18 points. After that, the Spurs missed the attack, and Dampot pressed the Admiral to grab the rebound.

After Billups dribbled past halfcourt, the basketball was again in Lamar's hands. At this time, the victory or defeat of the game was temporarily put aside by the Knicks players, who recovered their fighting spirit and found the backbone of the Knicks gang, and the morale of the past seemed to have returned to them.

The game seemed to be decided, although Lamar's crazy actions made the Spurs players a little frightened, but they quickly put this worry aside, and with a gap of more than 9 minutes and 18 minutes, even Lamar may not be able to do anything about it.

In fact, Lamar is also very clear that what he is doing now is only doing his best.

After taking over the basketball, Lamar didn't intend to wait for his teammates to run, but took the ball and attacked the Spurs' interior.

In fact, now Lamar is completely relying on one breath to support himself, he can't eat or sleep during this time, and his physical condition is not enough to support him to complete the madness of the second half. But now that he has chosen to break the boat, Lamar still wants to work harder, at least with a clear conscience.

Lamar suddenly launched an onslaught, and for a moment it seemed that the madman who had just debuted with the Los Angeles Lakers had returned, and the Spurs players didn't have time to react before he found a chance to shoot.

"Huh!"

Tim Duncan saw Lamar break through and naturally unconsciously took a step back, who would have thought that Lamar saw this and took a step back and immediately pulled out three points, the ball scored, the three points were effective, and the score gap was still 15 points.

"It's okay!
