Chapter 976

Although Battier has outstanding defensive strength and has his own defensive strategy against superstars such as Maddy and Kobe, he is really helpless if he faces players with top big ass like Anthony and Paul Pierce.

For a while, the Knicks' on-court players could only watch Anthony receive the ball again and again. If he doesn't, Anthony will attack the basket immediately, and once he chooses, Anthony will pass the ball. On top of that, Anthony's every pass was just right, as if every Raptors offensive player's running line was in his head.

In the second half of the second quarter, the Knicks' hand also began to decline. After all, it's impossible for a person to be at his best all the time, not even Lamar.

The Raptors took the opportunity to continue to narrow the gap in the score and regain the disadvantage little by little. By the end of the second quarter, the gap had narrowed to just seven points.

Anthony, the biggest contributor to the Raptors' second-quarter game, had seven points, three rebounds and an astonishing six assists during that time.

At halftime, the atmosphere in the Knicks' locker room was a little oppressive. Except for Lamar, who was still listening to the music to himself, each player's head hung deeply.

originally thought that the overall situation had been decided, and the attention of the Knicks' players was inevitably a little relaxed. Who knew that the Raptors would suddenly rise up and catch them off guard, making the game full of suspense again.

It's quiet in the locker room, and the Knicks players always look in Lamar's direction from time to time. What they need most at this time is for Lamar to stand up and give them some advice, but Lamar doesn't seem to care about these things at all.

What the hell was Lamar thinking?

Seeing that Lamar didn't speak, Van Gundy could only bite the bullet even if he didn't come up with a solution. But now he really doesn't know what to do other than shouting to boost the morale of the players. But even if he can only shout, he can't stop shouting, otherwise, the morale of the players will be vented again and again, even if they are at home, even if they have Lamar, a team that has been choked by the opponent is no matter how vigorous its vitality is, and there is no other way than to admit defeat.

"Look up at me! Is your head weighty? Or are you growing mushrooms in your crotch?"

The second quarter of the game made Van Gundy depressed enough, and he had already wanted to vent well. As a result, those swear words erupted involuntarily as soon as he opened his mouth, as if he suddenly became the iron-blooded coach who led New York to create the Black Eight Miracle back then.

"Are you all twiches? Or are you going to watch them steal the limelight and take away our honor on our turf? Will you all tolerate this? Are you going to compete for the championship like this? You can't even do a little Toronto caterpillar, how can you challenge a stronger opponent?"

Although Van Gundy shouted hoarsely, almost comparable to Pavarotti, the reaction of the players was not enthusiastic.

Except for those few broken sounds that made everyone feel a little funny, most of the time the players were still doing their own things, and even the usually most active Dampotter and Arenas were honest at this time, busy counting their toes and silently chanting stealth in their mouths.

In the face of Van Gundy's furiousness, the Knicks' players began to be silent, for fear that Van Gundy would see him. Van Gundy's scolding just now was so ugly that even Payton, the league's famous foul mouth, would be ashamed to hear it.

Seeing that the players were still indifferent, Van Gundy was really angry and angry. For a moment, Van Gundy's three corpses jumped violently, and just as he was thinking about launching another wave of lion roar magic skills, Lamar suddenly pulled off the headset he was wearing and threw it aside, and then stood up on his own.

"Alright Jeff, save your energy. You are so excited and indifferent, it doesn't work at all. Lamar said as he walked towards the door.

After opening the door, Lamar suddenly turned around and looked around the locker room, and every teammate he saw immediately raised his head and made a gesture of "I can do it!"

"Would anyone like to come with me to lift the butts of those Torontonians?" Before his teammates could speak, Lamar continued, "Say it up front, I don't want to be a dejected softass! I'm going with real warriors, and I don't want you to be burned in the ass by the flames of the dragon that thinks it can destroy everything." ”

"Lamar, I'll go with you! It is absolutely unforgivable that they dared to point their nostrils at the great Uncle Samuel when they were on the scene just now!" Dampot was the first to roar and jump, roaring loudly. Judging by the way he looked, if he were given a tomahawk at this time, he would have been able to split Anthony's poor little head in half.

"Okay, count you in! Remember in the second half of the game, since you can't stop that little rookie, you can destroy him on the offensive end as well. You're much stronger than the Raptors' interior players, so you don't need me to teach you what to do next, right?"

"I know!" Dampotter clenched his fists fiercely, "I'll give that depressed person a game that I'll never forget!"

With the first one, there will naturally be a second, and the Knicks players stood up and walked behind Lamar. No one spoke, but the flames of battle burned in their eyes.

"Do you want to be together?" Without waiting for his teammates to answer, Lamar smiled and said, "Then let's be together!"

At the beginning of the second half of the game, the Raptors players, who were about to take advantage of the victory to chase down and turn the score around in one fell swoop, suddenly found that the situation did not seem so rosy. The Knicks, who should have been demoralized and in chaos, were like tigers descending from a mountain at this time, and a wave of 10:0 attacks beat them dizzy, once again widening the score gap between the two sides to double digits.

"Damn! What the hell is going on?" Anthony angrily threw the towel handed over to him by the team staff and slammed it on the ground.

Just now, as long as he gets the ball, the Knicks will immediately unpack him. And when he wants to pass the ball, it becomes less easy. Lamar is like a skilled soothsayer, always able to judge his passing lines in advance.

If the Raptors want to shift the core of the organization, it will not be possible to shift the focus to Vince Carter again. Sean Battier seemed to have an enlightenment all of a sudden, as long as the Raptors' ball hit Vince Carter, Bartyr would pounce at the first time and entangle Vince Carter.

Without room to attack, Vince Carter's role could not be played.

Anthony and Vince Carter, the two major playmakers, were all blocked, and the Raptors' offense was in trouble for a while.

Of course, it wasn't that even worse, it was that Anthony was substituted again.

Although Anthony was reluctant in his heart, he could only obediently return to the bench. In just this time, his foul count has accumulated to five, and the culprit is still Lamar.

After being played by Anthony, a rookie, for so long in the first half, Lamar naturally held back his anger in his heart. So after the start of the second half, every time he attacked, Lamar took the ball straight to the penalty area, desperately leaning on Anthony. As a result, the referee was clear, and Anthony returned to the bench to count his toes.

Seeing Anthony venting angrily, the head coach of the Raptors also shook his head. Although Anthony has developed the ability to be the leader of a team after a year of training, he can still become impatient and lose his cool when the game gets in trouble, and eventually the opponent will seize the opportunity to find a breakthrough in him.

With Anthony off the court, the Raptors' offensive responsibility can only be handed over to Vince Carter, the team's No. 2 scorer. Without the support of his teammates, Vince seems to be back to the solitary mode of previous years.

Of course, the Raptors were a team that played entirely around Vince Carter before this season. Vince Carter is known as a demigod and a demigod, and it goes without saying that his strength is needless to say, and there is nothing wrong with the Raptors coaching staff doing this. Just like the Knicks, their tactics are always changing to Lamar's preferences.

But the Raptors aren't the Knicks after all, and Vince Carter isn't his buddy Lamar Odom. Vince in general does not have Lamar's ability to manipulate the overall situation of the game at will, just like his nickname, he can only be a half-human and half-god, and he can never become the supreme true god.

Vince Carter's onslaught didn't turn the tide on the court, and it was like a nightmare. The suddenly awakened Knicks wolves are still firmly in control of the overall situation of the game, time is passing little by little, and the score gap between the two sides is also widening little by little.

"The game was a bit of a bit of a bit to watch in the second and third quarters, and the rest of the game was just boring. It's all the Knicks putting on a group show, and the Raptors should really feel sad that the boss's stinginess and management's inaction cost them the opportunity to beat the Knicks. ”

"In fact, the Raptors still had another eye-catching performance tonight. At least this guy Vince Carter didn't let us down and fought until the very end. And the rookie also performed well, but unfortunately he was not rational enough against Lamar. ”

"Hmph! That baby-faced Anthony is a stupid fellow! Couldn't Lamar be smarter when he hit him? I'm not saying he should get out of the way, but he should go down. In this way, the referee will have some consideration when awarding penalties in the future, and like this, he is simply humiliating himself. ”
