Chapter 972

The Pacers are well aware up and down that they are no match for the Knicks when it comes to true strength. They didn't expect to win this game, and under their seemingly tough coat, they actually wanted to prove to the Knicks that they were also Warriors. Since he is a warrior, he will not give up easily.

For the Pacers' tough approach, the Knicks chose to fight back with blood for blood, tooth for tooth, and the first to answer was Lamar, after rewarding Stephen Jackson with a sturdy hat, Lamar used a dragon of violent slamming to kill the Pacers' interior line and flip on his back, and knocked Foster who was defending him off the court.

Lamar has never been a gentleman on the pitch. Touching others with love is what only missionaries do, and the best way to fight back against tough and rough opponents is to reciprocate, you punch me and kick you back.

"Don't lie back in a daze, get up quickly! Don't you want me to see how good you are? When Lamar landed, he watched as Foster shouted unbridledly.

"You still want to use the same tactics you did against me four years ago? Now the best option for you is to rebuild, to completely tear down the previous model and rebuild a team. Nostalgia for the past will only make your death worse, and there will never be a day when you will never come out!"

Lamar retreated into his half with a sneer on his face, clapping his hands and shouting at his teammates: "Brothers, don't let your guard down, watch your guys, we have to beat them by more than 20 points in this game." ”

The New York Knicks' 4-0 sweep of the Indiana Pacers was a little simpler, but it didn't come as expected.

Because in the eyes of many people, although the Pacers still have Stephen Jackson and Steve Smith in charge, without Jermaine O'Neal's interior support, Reggie Miller's outside sniping at critical moments, and Artest's terrifying defensive ability inside and outside, the remaining people are at best two or three kittens. They don't have any advantage against a formidably formidable Knicks, and a win might be the fairest outcome for them.

It's just a pity that the Knicks didn't give the Pacers their last chance to save face.

According to the latest news, the Indiana Pacers seem to have unilaterally canceled the contract extension negotiations with O'Neal Jr.

In fact, this is also normal, although O'Neal Jr. is still in his prime, but the knee injury has made his form after the start of this season decline very much, and such an injury not only takes a long time to recover, but the chance of full recovery is not very high.

Without the escort of a team of outside giants such as Reggie Miller and Artest, in fact, O'Neal Jr.'s help to the team has been very limited. Of course, the most important thing is that he is injured, and the Pacers are not sure if he will be able to recover by the time the start of next season.

Even if the injury is healed, the poor form of this season may continue, and O'Neill Jr. has a good chance that it will be difficult to return to his previous peak form.

It is obviously unreasonable for such a team core to ask for a big contract of nearly 20 million.

Although Jermaine O'Neal scolded the Pacers for crossing the river and demolishing the bridge after getting the news. But this is the alliance! The NBA is a business alliance, everything has to be looked at money, and it is normal for goods that do not meet the cost performance to be discarded.

From this point of view, the approach of the Pacers management is really nothing to blame, and it is not the same as reason, but this reason is inevitably mixed with ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness, and it lacks a bit of human touch.

Seeing the last member of the Pacers, once a daunting league, also enter the countdown to leave, it is a harsh reality for Indiana fans who have become accustomed to enjoying the glory. If they want to rise again, I am afraid that it will be a long time to hibernat.

The Knicks, who ended the first round of the playoffs early, rested for a long time to come, and their second-round opponents are still hard to crack.

Both teams have a very special meaning for Lamar, one being the Philadelphia 76ers led by his good brother AI.

The other team also has a lot to do with Lamar.

Toronto Raptors, this is a team that has been deeply affected by the Lamar butterfly effect. Compared with the previous life, the Raptors with the combination of Vince Carter and Carmelo Anthony have long been unrecognizable and reborn.

Although things are different now, the little dragon egg Chris Anthony in his previous life has also become the current doll dragon Carmelo Anthony, and Anthony has obviously grown much faster than Anthony. Coupled with the assistance of Vince Carter, this Raptors team is probably stronger than the team that was once led by Anthony.

Now that the first round of the playoffs has been played four times, the expected Philadelphia 76ers sweep of the opponent has not appeared, and the two teams have won two games on their home court, and now the battle is tied 2-2.

The AI's performance is still strong, but after watching the game footage, Lamar can still feel that the AI is a little overwhelmed.

Although the breakthrough of the AI still makes the opponent defenseless, the AI that often appears on the screen, on his knees, and with a tired face, still keeps transmitting such a message that he is tired, really tired!

Injuries, combined with getting older, make it difficult for AI to roam the court as much as it used to.

113:118!

At the end of Game 4 in Philadelphia, the Raptors won another game on their home court, leveling the overall score at 2-2. In the next game, the two teams will move to Philadelphia for a new match.

Turning off the TV, Van Gundy looked at his teammates.

Because they have finished their game, now the Knicks can be called quite relaxed. All they have to do every day is report to the team's training gym on time and do a simple recovery session.

The season has reached this stage, and there is no point in training with a lot of exercise. What's more, the playoffs are more intense than the regular season, and injuries in training can be more than worth the cost.

Of course, there are exceptions, and that is the two bigots in the East and West: one Kobe Bryant and one Lamar. These two freaks who don't know what tiredness is and what moderation is.

After finishing the team's practice, Lamar practiced 500 more three-pointers on his own, and then watched the game footage between the Philadelphia 76ers and Toronto Raptors to watch their next game.

Although the outcome of the game has been known for a long time, after watching the game video, it is still hard for the Knicks players to believe that the Philadelphia 76ers, who had defeated them three times in the regular season, would actually be killed by the Toronto Raptors.

Although those three losses were all due to Lamar's absence, there are many AI fans among the Knicks players, and they still feel a little uncomfortable when they see their idols lose.

Van Gundy rubbed his chin and said a little meaningfully: "That baby face of the Raptors is really getting more and more powerful!"

"It's not just Anthony, the Raptors can win this game, and Vince is more contributing. He's the key to the Raptors' victory!" Lamar said with a blank face, in his opinion, without Vince Carter's thread, Anthony would not have been able to beat the AI no matter how many points he scored.

"Isn't Carmelo Anthony's top score?" asked Dampoter, a little puzzled. As the Knicks' defensive gate, Dampoter's main focus is on Anthony, who scores the most, when watching the game.

"That's right, he's the offensive core of the Raptors, and it's normal to score a lot. But don't you see? Vince Carter has changed his old style and played very efficiently throughout the game. And Vince is smart and knows when to do it. In this way, although his scoring statistics are not very flashy, the whole team is connected by him. Lamar! That kid is obviously starting to transform and wants to be the same type of player as you. Sean, you're going to need to be a little more careful. Billups took over the topic, and the head of the analysis was Dao.

Sean Battier smiled and didn't answer, but Vince Carter's transformation had clearly been remembered in his heart.

Van Gundy continued: "Chauncey is right, Vince Carter is not conspicuous in this game, but such a player is the most terrifying. And Magloyle is the same, he has good basket skills. Although he lacks strength, his mid-range shooting ability makes up for his lack of strength. His style is a bit like Tim Duncan, although he is still very immature but can't help but pay attention. ”

"So should we pay attention to the Philadelphia 76ers or the Toronto Raptors?

Haitians have never liked to bother with this kind of thing, and instead of doing those pre-war analyses of their opponents, it is better to go to the field of play and divide the highs and lows.

"Be careful, even if you are not our opponent in the next round, you may become our enemy in the future. With that, Lamar packed up his things and left. Watching the Philadelphia 76ers lose, looking at the helpless eyes of the AI, his heart is still very uncomfortable.

Halfway through the car, Lamar's cell phone suddenly rang, and he couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the caller ID.

"Hello, Aaron!" Lamar's tone was very relaxed.

The AI on the other side of the phone was depressed: "Lamar, hell, do you have to talk to me in this tone?"

"And what shall I say, to comfort you?"

"Comfort? I don't need that! I think you must have seen the footage of our last game. AI said firmly.

Lamar was stunned, if he wasn't familiar with AI, he would have wondered if AI had any special functions.

"That's right!"

"What do you think of the game?" 2k reading net
