In fact, the reason is very simple, the reason why he was able to fight with Lamar before was because Lamar focused more on attacking. Apex is the fastest update, but now that Dampotter is injured, Lamar must take on the responsibility of being the Knicks' strongest barrier on the inside.

Although in terms of overall strength, the two teams are almost the same, but after the team's offensive core was slapped to death by Lamar, the Mavericks were finished.

When the game reached the fourth quarter, with two minutes left before the end of the game, the Dallas Mavericks had fallen behind by 17 points, and Johnson, the young general, saw that the general situation was gone, and he had no choice but to surrender.

It was at this point that the real highlight of the game appeared.

Because it was garbage time, Coach K naturally sent Milicicmi back on the field so that the guy could adapt to the team's tactics as soon as possible.

Milicic changed his previous composure after coming on the field, and for some reason, he stretched out his finger and pointed at Dek Nowitzki, who had already come off the game.

Provocation? The reporter, who had long been drowsy by the game on this side, suddenly became excited. The camera camera just swept over Milicic's face and it was all focused on the Dallas Mavericks' bench and aimed at Deknowitski.

But the little general Johnson disappointed the people who were waiting to see the show. In the face of the eager eyes of the reporters and the urgent shouts of the fans, he was indifferent, and he had no intention of changing the German tank on the field.

Milicic, who was planning to take on one of the best interior players in Europe today, couldn't help but be a little disappointed. But when the game resumed, he was not disappointed.

For Milicic, who finally made it into the Knicks' rotation lineup, even garbage time is worth cherishing, not to mention a star player like Dik Nowitzki, even the role player in front of him, Diop, can become a test stone for him to hone his skills.

"Smack!", the referee's whistle sounded, and his finger pointed at Milicic with a dazed face.

In the defensive process just now, seeing that Diop, a super coolie, was actually about to score in front of him, Milicic, who had completely lost his position, grabbed Diop's arm and dragged him down without even thinking about it.

Immediately, the fans at the scene burst into laughter.

Now in this game, the fans in Dallas have finally seen the picture that makes them happy. I was depressed all night, and I was naturally very happy to see the enemy make a fool of myself.

Ewing on the sidelines, as Milicic's instructor, is so thick-skinned at this time that he can't help but cover his face, which is really faceless.

"This idiot!" Lamar also smiled wryly.

Lamar wanted to tell Coach K around him that although Milicic was talented and he believed that this guy could grow up, this guy was too young after all, not to mention uncertain, and he was seriously inexperienced. So Lamar always thought he had to sharpen this guy.

But fortunately, there are not many opportunities for Milicic to perform, otherwise the Knicks would have to become the first team in NBA league history to win a game, but face the old folks with their heads down and shameless.

The biggest contributor to the victory was, of course, Lamar. Lamar had 33 points, 13 rebounds, 12 assists and 6 blocks in 33 minutes, and he showed off his all-round skills in front of the German tank.

Milicic was a little impulsive in the final stages, but the overall performance was very good. In this game, the Cypriot and Black Players played 17 minutes off the bench and got 11 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 block. As a role player who has just been recalled from the NBDL, his performance can already be called bullish.

However, after the game, Milicic was still commented on by many veterans, many of whom were puzzled by his brainless fouls in the final stages of the game.

In this regard, the Knicks players and coaches were all silent and avoided answering. In the last two minutes of the fourth quarter, Milicic, who couldn't control his desire to perform, was able to pay three fouls.

Unable to dig up news on the Knicks' side, the reporter turned his attention to the Mavericks' side. The most vocal is naturally the German tank Nowitzki, also from Europe, who was provoked by Milicic.

"This guy is a disgrace to the Europa League! That's my assessment, that's it. "Being compared to a parallel trade, Nowitzki naturally doesn't feel good. The German tank rarely abandoned its good temper, and did not hesitate to say what he thought in the face of an interview with reporters.

Nowitzki's reaction was something that the Knicks players didn't care about, as they had to fly to Denver overnight after the game.

The Knicks now have a 25-game winning streak and are looking to challenge the Denver Nuggets, who are in fourth place all-time.

Although the Knicks can be said to be determined and confident in this game, the game is not completely in their hands.

With the arrival of George Carr this year, the Denver Nuggets have made a big improvement and have the strength to hit the top eight in the West.

Facing the high-spirited New York Knicks, the Denver Nuggets naturally refused to rest. What's more, their performance this year is quite impressive, with former league-of-the-league defensive player Marcus Camby, veteran Antonio McDyce, rookie Nerves J.R. Smith, and of course, a group of bench bandits with good strength.

As the saying goes, punching the master to death, the Denver Nuggets are enough to shake any strong team with their current lineup.

The Nuggets are waiting for work, but the Knicks are in the dust. Although the Knicks played very tenaciously during the game, they ultimately lost by two points after four quarters of hard work due to lack of physical strength.

The Knicks also drew their second loss of the season after ending their winning streak.

At the post-match press conference, Lamar was clearly not in a good mood and seemed absent-minded in response to reporters' questions. Especially when a reporter mentioned that the All-Star Game voting has begun and whether Lamar will participate in all events this year, Lamar did not hesitate to give a negative answer.

"I'm sorry for this year's All-Star Game! Maybe I'll get sick then!"

Is Lamar sick?

Of course, it's just Lamar casually saying that he won't use this excuse to avoid the All-Star break, it's not his character. However, this decision has been made after Pandora was born, and this time he is serious, not to go against anyone.

"When I took the helm of this league, my aim was to give everything to the fans. Lamar's decision to quit the All-Star Game seemed to me to be a dizziness, he couldn't do that!"

"Although Lamar has the right not to participate, he also has the obligation to participate, and the obligation to repay the fans who support him!"

"I know Lamar has a lot of fame, but he's a part of the league like any other player. For the All-Star Game, he has an obligation to participate, which is an obligation as an NBA player, and he can't refuse! And he had better think about it, the reason why he is where he is today is because he has fans who support him, and without fans he is nothing. ”

Although David Stern keeps saying that it is for the fans, his real thoughts are obviously not because of this, and the ultimate goal is the interests of the league.

Everyone knows Lamar's current influence in the world of basketball, and it's no exaggeration to say that he is unique. There is a complete difference between the All-Star Game with Lamar and the All-Star Game without Lamar.

Lamar wants to quit the All-Star Game, and the news is definitely super explosive news in the American sports world.

In recent seasons, fans have become accustomed to watching Lamar's performances at the All-Star Game. Now Lamar suddenly said that he didn't want to play, which suddenly made the fans a little confused.

What would it be like to have an All-Star Game without Lamar? It's something that people have tried once before when Jordan announced his retirement. It's like Christmas without turkey and Halloween without pumpkin!

"Lamar, I think you'd better think again. "Dan Fagan has been annoying Lamar for a whole day today, and no matter what Lamar says, he seems to have made up his mind to make Lamar compromise with him.

Lamar looked back at Fagan, "Hey, man, we've been working together for a while, and I think you know me well." There is no room for change in what I have said! never!"

Fagan also had a headache now, and said helplessly: "You are indeed like this now, but not before. Didn't you all participate in the last few years? I'm really curious now, what happened to make you decide not to be an All-Star this year?"

Lamar smiled awkwardly: "There are many factors, I am grown up now!"

"What do you mean?" said Fagan, who was a man of two and a many, "Lamar, this cold humor isn't funny at all! I'm not your agent right now, I'm talking to you from the perspective of the fans right now. Even if it's out of respect for the fans who have always supported you, can you be a little more serious?"

Fagan was really in a hurry! If he had been before, of course, he would have wished Lamar hadn't played in the hell All-Star Game, so that maybe he could still have reserved that spot for his players.

But since becoming Lamar's agent in the offseason, he's had to think professionally. Now Lamar is the most profitable star in his hands, and Lamar's non-participation in the All-Star Game not only has a huge impact on Lamar himself, but also hurts his interests.
