"Is there some ulterior feud between this guy and the New Jersey Nets?" Lamar asked curiously, putting his arm around Chauncey's shoulders. Ran Wen ??? ．?ｒ?ａ?ｎ?? ｅ?ｎ?`ｏ?ｒ?ｇ?

"You and I both came to the Knicks this season, you don't know, how can I know?" Billups also looked puzzled: "Ask Gilbert when you break later, this guy is the gossip king of the team!"

The arena was unusually noisy, but the sound of Houston was exceptionally loud.

Seeing this, Jeff Van Gundy quickly stood up and called a timeout, but before he could get to the technical table, he was stopped by Lamar's eyes.

What are you kidding? What can you call a timeout at this time! The Knicks are in great shape.

Seeing that the situation on the court was about to get out of control, the referee hurriedly ran over to stop the excited New Jersey Nets players.

Then the referee turned around and gave Houston a technical foul.

It's a pity that Houston didn't care at all, and glanced at the players of the Nets with disdain, and even the referee was despised by him!

"That bastard is so arrogant, Mr. Referee, you should kick him out immediately, you don't need a bastard like him in a basketball game!" Jefferson was almost mad at Houston and yelled at the referee.

Being taught a lesson by Jefferson, a rookie, the referee felt more uncomfortable than being despised by Houston. He could have kicked Jefferson out first, but considering that Houston had gone too far, the referee just glared at Jefferson.

Scott saw that Jefferson seemed to be about to make a mistake, and quickly scolded him loudly on the sidelines.

It was Jefferson who took the free throw, and he was probably also affected by Kidd's departure, and the first goal was not scored, and he stabilized his mind for a while, and the second goal finally scored.

The Knicks still had a three-point lead, but the gap soon widened.

Taking advantage of the Nets' wandering game, Lamar quickly hit a chase ball and hit a three-pointer to stretch the score to six.

Looking at Houston, who was standing on the court waving his arms vigorously and venting his emotions, Scott was in a trance again.

"Are you really going to destroy us in the first quarter?"

Kidd's unexpected departure, as well as Alan Houston's sudden outburst, completely disrupted the Nets' pre-game deployment.

As a young manager, Scott's control of the game was honestly really terrible.

How much energy Lamar has, as long as a manager should study it well. Without Kidd, the Nets should never be playing small-ball tactics, they should have sent good defenders to play tight against Lamar, and then stalled for time in a positional battle with the Knicks.

It's a pity that Scott didn't think of this at all, every timeout, in addition to scolding the players on the field, he asked the players to attack, and the offense was attacking!

"What should I do?" thought Scott, clutching at his hair.

Scott's current appearance is completely different from the usual meticulous young marshal who always takes care of his suit. The fans at the scene also gradually discovered the problem, although it was not as hated as the Detroit Pistons fans did not make a temporary defection, but a kind of dissatisfaction gradually began to spread among the fans.

In just a few minutes, Alan Houston actually scored three goals, but the New Jersey Nets not only played disorganized offense because of Kidd's withdrawal, but also failed to form an effective defense.

Three times in a row, the first ball was in Kenyon Martin's hand, and Mr. Champion had just raised his hand before it was firmly cut off by Dampot. not only wasted an offensive opportunity in vain, but also allowed the Knicks to play a fast break while they were loose.

The most infuriating thing is that Houston, who scored at the end, also threw a three-pointer as if he was deliberately provocative, hollowing it into the net.

On the second offense, Thornton, who had just come on the court, was clearly ill-prepared, and the intention of passing the ball was too obvious, and he was cut off by Billups and passed to Houston, who scored an easy layup.

The third time was when Jefferson missed a shot and was grabbed by Lamar for a rebound and passed to Houston, who used an exaggerated turn for a layup this time.

Although after the Knicks' offense, Jeff Van Gundy replaced Lamar to rest.

In Jeff Van Gundy's opinion, tonight's game is decided, and there is no need to risk leaving Lamar on the court.

Lamar is off, but the Knicks' offense has not weakened at all, but has intensified.

Dampot dunked the basket loudly; McDyce was able to show off his half-volley under the Nets' basket; Houston was still elusive, playing the role of his own killer; Arenas, who came off the bench, was also getting more and more like a general, with three points and omnipotence on the break; as for Billups, this old guy has become a good man, and he is quite coquettish when he doesn't look at people's passes.

Jeff Van Gundy didn't put Lamar on the court until the end of the first half, but the Knicks' lead grew.

At halftime, the Knicks had a fifteen-point lead over the Nets.

With the same team leader not on the court, the New Jersey players seem to have lost their souls, while the Knicks players are playing vigorously.

That's the role of a leader! Sometimes he doesn't have to play at all, he just watches from the sidelines, so that his brothers feel that he is with them all the time, and that no matter what happens, they have someone behind them. That's enough!

The New Jersey Nets players were confused about their future precisely because they didn't know if Kidd would be able to return, which eventually led to the collapse of the first half of the game.

"We have to find a way, we have to find a new way! I've said everything I can to help you, but it's more important to rely on yourself, I'm not a psychiatrist, and I can't make your damned, empty heart fill up all at once. ”

"Didn't you see the way the fans looked at us when we were off the pitch? The look in their eyes told me that in their eyes you stars were a bunch of cowards, a bunch of cowards without eggs! You just feel sorry for yourself. ”

"Maybe now you've figured out how to shirk responsibility after the game, all because of Kidd's injury, otherwise the Knicks wouldn't be our opponent!

"Kenyan, do you remember? Didn't you say just half an hour ago that you were going to break Lamar's bones?

In the locker room of the New Jersey Nets, Scott was already furious, spraying at the players.

Every player on the scene couldn't help but bow their heads under Scott's stern questioning.

Although it is true that the Nets are not as good starters as the Knicks in some positions, they also have their own advantages. That's physical fitness!

It's a pity that the Nets' morale is low, and no matter how Scott adjusts the lineup in the first half, he has never been able to change the team's passive situation. Every player who was substituted tried to look like a savior with his head tilted up, but within two minutes he was all a rat crossing the street, eager to shove his head into his crotch.

Kenyon Martin, who was criticized by Scott's name, was even more embarrassed, and his resentment towards Lamar became even deeper.

Seeing that the players were all silent, Scott was even more angry, and his hand just about to say something suddenly froze. He's already said what he should have said, what else can he say?

"Guys, you guys did a good first half! But don't forget that we have half the game and we're playing against a team like the New Jersey Nets. Think about how they snatched the No. 1 spot in the East from so many teams during the regular season. They're not as weak as we think!"

"Kill the New Jerseys and make all the people in this city cry, that's what we're supposed to do today! When the game is over, let's go back to New York with honors!"

Lamar's remarks immediately enlivened the Knicks' locker room, with everyone yelling to beat the New Jersey Nets and crush their bones.

From the morale of the Knicks alone, it is not difficult to see the gap between the two teams at the moment.

This is also the charisma of a leader, a leader can mobilize all the players around him at any time, bring out their best potential, and make everyone an indispensable member of his hands.

Apparently the Knicks have this guy now, and the New Jersey Nets don't, so the Nets' fate was sealed from the moment Kidd sprained his ankle.

The third quarter of the game between the two teams was still in full swing, with the Knicks desperately attacking on one side and the Nets in their dying throes on the other.

Lamar, who returned to the court, immediately became the center of the Knicks, and through his organization, the Knicks played more reasonably and efficiently.

By the end of the third quarter, the gap between the two sides had widened to 22 points.

Some of the disillusioned New Jersey fans have gotten up and left, and some of the remaining die-hard fans have died down. Although they haven't scolded or cheered for their team, their dissatisfaction and disdain made the Nets players feel even more uncomfortable.

"Bastard! I can't forgive you!

Frustration, exhaustion, and psychological stress have almost driven Kenyon Martin crazy. He was gasping for breath at the moment, guarding his last line of defence, watching Lamar get closer and closer to him with the ball.

In Martin's mind, this game should be the stage for him and Kidd, and the arena should be full of thoughts about the sound of his dunk. Guys like Lamar simply don't have room to play at the Nets.

But now everything is reversed, and Kidd's unexpected departure fulfills Lamar and his Knicks, and pushes him to the precipice!

This was very difficult for Kenyon Martin to accept, and seeing Lamar getting closer and closer to him, Martin suddenly made a very terrible decision before his brain was in a vacuum. (To be continued.) )
