Chapter 336: Reborn from the Fire
"This game is over!" Chauncey Billups sat next to Lamar and posed with an unfathomable look. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Of course, the big picture has been decided, and the rest is garbage time, but it looks like His Excellency Flying Man doesn't want to admit defeat yet!"
"He's a half-human and half-god, how can he admit defeat so easily!"
Lamar smiled indifferently and said: "He wants to resist stubbornly, and we can't help it, I think the coach will definitely teach him a good lesson." ”
While the two of them were talking, the Knicks players on the court completed another offense after cooperation. After the basketball was passed back and forth in the hands of five players, it finally reached the hands of center Antonio Davis.
Davis leaned on his feet to squeeze past Jerome James, who was defending him, and scored with a small hook that wasn't standard.
The game was midway through the fourth quarter, even though the Raptors were trailing by nearly forty points. But it seems that Vince still doesn't want to admit defeat like this, although everyone can see that the Raptors are gone, and putting the main players on the court can only be regarded as stubborn resistance.
"Lamar, Chauncey, Allan, Sean, Hakim! It's your turn, go and destroy the Raptors completely!" Since Vince Carter didn't want to admit defeat yet, Van Gundy certainly didn't want to rush any good guys, and released the basketball monster that had been holding back for nearly ten minutes with a big wave of his hand.
"Brothers, since the Canadian flyer wants to die vigorously, we don't have to save any more face for him, and give them another fatal one, let them know that it is not their turn to go wild on our turf. ”
With the appearance of Lamar and other five main players, the last psychological defense of the Raptors soldiers was finally shattered.
The appearance of Lamar and others completely knocked the morale that Vince Carter had worked so hard to muster to the ground. Perhaps the Raptors' players do not lack the courage to fight in the final battle, just like they scratched the Pistons, Mavericks, and Lakers in the regular season last year. But today at the Madison Square Garden Arena, they did run into unprecedented trouble.
They seemed helpless about the strong fighting power shown by the Knicks players. Before the game, they thought it would be an easy task to deal with a team that had just completed a rebuild, and a predominantly young player, and perhaps they felt they had a tough mission to teach the New York rookies.
But they forgot that even though the Knicks' players were just a flock of sheep, they were led by a strong lion, not to mention that the rookies in their eyes were not sheep, and each of them had extraordinary talent.
Now those who originally came to reap the fruits of victory have fled New York in disgrace after a period of painful torture, while the fledgling rookies are enjoying the joy of victory.
Lamar showed his worthy form in this game, contributing a top-notch stat to the team, with 28 points, eight rebounds, six assists, and five steals. Although he didn't have a quadruple-double in the first game of the new club, it has already made many New Yorkers sing the praises of it.
He was also very pleased with the performance of his team-mates today, and although the inconsistency of the young players caused them a little bit of a problem in the game, overall, the four rookies, no matter which one of them, deserved credit for their performance today.
At the post-match press conference, when asked by reporters how to evaluate the performance of the team's four rookies, Lamar showed a very relieved smile in front of reporters.
"Everybody's doing really well! yes, all very good! I think they've got their careers off to a good start. They made some mistakes in the game, but I think that's completely understandable, it's their first professional game after all, and I'm sure it won't be long before they become more mature and contribute more to the team. ”
Then Lamar turned his tune and began to criticize his opponent again.
'They were terrible, we won the game today without any problems at all, and the opponent gave up the pursuit of victory too soon. It's going to make it easier for us to win, but I'm not happy with the quality of the game and I hope they can be more motivated next time!"
For Lamar's criticism, the Raptors coach seemed a little helpless, he lost control of today's game from the beginning, and the players were all unintentional, he couldn't do anything at all, and he couldn't do anything.
There's no doubt that Vince Carter is a great player and a good friend, but he's also an unqualified leader, which makes the Raptors' development a bit difficult.
"We played a great game! they deserved to win, and the result was a bit frustrating for me, but it was fair. The team that performs better wins, and that's a truth that God can't change. I'm very disappointed with my players though!"
'They didn't show a winning spirit at all, when we were down by a big score, they were obviously not mentally prepared and when they found out that the situation was out of control, the first thing they thought about was to give up the game. It's really sad, and I hope they can be a little bit stronger for the next races! After all, you have to win on your own. ”
The New York Knicks got off to a good start, and the fans in New York were the happiest. Although the team has a good record over the years and has been able to break into the playoffs every year, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the team is going downhill again. But they have never abandoned their beloved team, and as always, they have given their best support and tolerance, and now it is finally time for them to reap the joy, they have not enjoyed such a hearty victory for too long.
This is not a preseason game for warm-ups, but a regular season for real life.
After the game, New York fans gathered in the open space in front of the McErson Square Garden arena to celebrate. It was as if they had won the championship.
There was a lot of singing in the square, and a lot of crazy Knicks fans were there singing and dancing and partying to their heart's content, they had been waiting for this day for too long.
Just like the New York Times commented the next day: The resurrected Knicks won the contest by singing. During the whole process of the game, the Knicks players seemed very relaxed, they seemed to be enjoying a delicious meal! For the game, they did not show any nervousness at all, whether it was an old player or a new player, each of them seemed to be dressed in a costume, and the performance on the Shin several games that went to the banquet was also calm, in short, this game will have a profound impact on the Knicks, which can be called a classic.
The New York Knicks used a big victory to effectively respond to all kinds of unfavorable remarks about the Knicks Youth Army, and some media who saw the wind and rudder also began to praise the Knicks' performance in the game, and also listed the Knicks as one of the favorites to win the championship.
It's just that some people seem to be born with a dislike of seeing the Knicks happy, or to be precise, unwilling to see Lamar happy, just like Sir Charles Barkley, who has always been against Lamar.
On the second night of the Knicks game, Barkley, a sports commentator, once again attacked the Knicks' performance, firmly playing the role of Lamar's enemy.
"I didn't see anything brilliant in the Knicks vs. Raptors game, and even Lamar himself was saying that there was nothing to be happy about in this win, and this was the first time I agreed with what he said. ”
A team that is not enterprising loses to a bad team that is tactically chaotic, thoughtless, and ruled by tyrants. If all NBA games were like this, I think the NBA would soon lose its status as the world's No. 1 basketball league, and maybe it won't be long before Mr. David Stern will find out that all the original staunch NBA fans are running to watch another major league game in the United States!"
"I thought Lamar's two years in Los Angeles would at least make him mature a little bit, but look at his performance yesterday. I found out how wrong I was, in yesterday's game, he seemed to be back to two years ago, he only knew how to attack by himself, he couldn't see anyone else in his eyes, even if his teammates were in a good position, he wouldn't pass the ball. Knowing only one person to attack is simply a step backwards and a blasphemy against world basketball!"
Barkley seemed to suddenly become agitated, his head in a state of euphoria, his mind confused, and his mouth full of nonsense.
Kenny Smith couldn't stand it anymore, and even he felt a little embarrassed about the ugliness of his partner, so he hurriedly reminded him.
"Charles, Lamar didn't have a lot of assists yesterday and he played less than 30 minutes. ”
Barkley was stunned for a moment, and then realized what he had just said, but he just had a little benefit, and he was thick-skinned enough, but after a little hesitation, he said with a disdainful face: "So what? Don't you see that Lamar's assists yesterday were concentrated in the first half? He was chasing good stats, and he didn't put the team's interests first. I don't think if it weren't for the fact that he had a player like Sean next to him with strong defensive strength, and with his chaotic way of playing, the Knicks would have been more than lucky yesterday. ”
Not much attention has been paid to Barkley's rhetoric of reversing black and white. Anyway, now the whole of America knows that Barkley is a complete lama black, as long as it makes Lamar feel unhappy, he will definitely enjoy it. So for his comments, people watched them as talk shows.
Even Lamar, who had been attacked by Barkley many times, seemed to be completely uninterested in this, and he seemed to be tired of arguing with Barkley, because he felt that putting himself and Barkley together was simply depreciating himself, and he also allowed the pig to take advantage of the opportunity to quarrel with him to increase his popularity.
I wish you all a Happy New Year's Day (to be continued.) )
