Chapter 802
"Cute fans?" Tim couldn't help but look at Lamar with wide eyes in disbelief when he heard Lamar's words, and underestimated in his heart: "What about liars? Such fans are still cute? They don't have a chainsaw in their hands now, otherwise the Spurs players would have been dismembered by these crazy guys!"
Lamar's words are simple and clear, as long as the Spurs players are a little unruly in the game, the Knicks will definitely not give up. When the game turns out, it's not up to him to say.
The referee frowned, it was obvious that he was extremely dissatisfied with Lamar's attitude, but he couldn't do anything about Lamar. This is New York, Lamar's territory, look at these crazy fans in Halloween costumes tonight, if he dares to take the opportunity to take revenge during the game, he will definitely die a miserable death.
Today's game did attract a lot of people, and those big-name stars naturally did not miss such a good opportunity, and rushed to the stadium one after another, vying for more attention from the camera.
Lamar's family was the only one who came today, and none of his other family members were present. Obviously, in such a game, against the Spurs, the whole family does not want to be reminded of the incident in June. Anything or anyone related to that thing, they are going to do their best to shield.
Van Gundy said a few words and asked the players to prepare. He really doesn't have much to say, playing Spurs, from this season onwards there is no need for pre-war mobilization at all.
"Lamar, stay safe!" Vanessa gently put her hand on Lamar's shoulder and said softly, "Honey, you know, I don't want anything to happen to you. β
Lamar turned his head, looked at Vanessa with a smile and said, "Honey, do you mean to let me finish this game with a score?"
"Didn't you say it was just a normal regular season?" Vanessa smiled slyly, "Lamar, take care of yourself." β
Lamar suddenly felt helpless when he heard this: "Listening to your words, I feel like a child!"
"Of course you're not a kid, but sometimes you're just impulsive!"
Seeing that the referee was already beckoning players from both sides to play, Lamar kissed Vanessa lightly on the lips: "Wait a minute, I will be able to get them done soon." β
As soon as Lamar turned around, Vanessa suddenly jumped up, smirked slyly, and shouted loudly with her fists: "Lamar, kill those villains! If you can't win the game, don't even think about going to my bed." β
Hearing Vanessa's sudden appearance, Lamar, who walked onto the court in a high-spirited manner, almost stumbled on the mud.
However, Rao was like this, and after reacting, the laughter of the audience and the teasing eyes of his teammates still made Lamar feel uncomfortable.
Dampotter laughed and tapped Lamar on the shoulder twice: "I really didn't expect Vanessa to have a funny side." β
Lamar glared at Vanessa fiercely, and opened Dampoter's big hand, "It's the other way around! I'll clean her up when I get back!"
Vanessa's turmoil destroyed the tension that Knicks fans had worked so hard to create. The atmosphere in the stadium was also eased a lot with the laughter and whistles of the fans. But if the Spurs think they'll be able to get through this way, they're mistaken.
As soon as the game began, the atmosphere of the scene suddenly changed again. As long as the Spurs got the ball, the fans stomped, clapped their hands and shouted in unison to cheer for the Knicks, which made the Spurs players' hearts suddenly become nervous again.
There is basically no doubt that Dampot and Duncan are fighting for the ball, no matter how great the stone Buddha is, he can't make his bounce power to the next level, and when he is less than 50 centimeters above the ground, Duncan can only watch the basketball being lightly hooked by Dampoter and dialed into Billups's hand.
At the start of the game, the Knicks took the lead in attacking.
After getting the ball, the Knicks were in no hurry to launch a fast break. Against an unusually cautious team like the Spurs, it was too difficult for the Knicks to make a surprise attack in the opening game.
Billups dribbled the ball to stabilize the tempo of the court a little, and then began to slowly push towards the Spurs half court with the cheers of the fans.
Van Gundy nodded in satisfaction and turned back to the bench. He also knew very well that it would be impossible to break down the Spurs' defense in one go, and they could only play steadily and slowly establish their advantage in this game.
Only by letting the Spurs rush first and disrupt their own rhythm first will it be possible to drag the game into the rhythm they want. If they play fast break at the beginning, the Knicks are likely to gradually lose their sharpness under the slow pace of the Spurs.
Billups took the ball across half court before he suddenly made a sharp stop and threw the ball into the hands of Darmshoe on the inside. After receiving the ball, before Oberto could get it, he passed the ball back to Lamar near the free-throw line.
Lamar received the ball and was about to break through, but as soon as his body moved, he stopped abruptly. But Bruce Bowen, who was defending him, was fooled. Bowen was already stepping back the moment Lamar broke through, and his body's inertia made it impossible for him to defend at all.
Lamar saw that he had opened up a little space, and at this time he had already had a chance to shoot, and the fans at the scene all stood up. If this ball goes in, then Lamar will only be nine points away from the 10,000-point mark.
In fact, not only Lamar, but also fans also feel that it is really cool to achieve a breakthrough in the Spurs, the big enemy.
But Lamar changed his attention at the moment of shooting, and with a twist of his wrist, he gently pushed the ball towards the left side of his body. As if he had been prepared, Billups took a shot immediately after receiving the ball.
"Huh!"
The ball scored three points.
Although the team took the lead in the opening game, the fans still felt a little regretful, and seemed to think that Lamar was a little silly to give up such a good scoring opportunity. Of course, Billups is also their idol, but after all, watching Billups score is still not as cool as Lamar.
Billups looked at the fans who had returned to their seats as if they were deflated, turned around and smiled: "Look at the fans' expressions, Lamar will hate me if you do this again!"
Lamar chuckled and reached out to high-five Billups, "Old man, if you keep hitting, they'll soon fall in love with you again." β
The Knicks' brilliant inside, center, and outside three-line coordination took a big toll on the morale of the Spurs players. Originally, because of the interference of the fans, they were very nervous. Now that they are hit by the Knicks' wonderful cooperation, the original tense spirit of the Spurs' players seems to have been broken. Looking at the Knicks players on the court who were opposite them, these Spurs players had a trace of fear in their hearts.
Especially Bruce Bowen, who was in charge of defending Lamar just now, shook his hand a little frustratedly and said to Tim Duncan: "What a hell!"
Duncan also saw that something was wrong with his teammates' emotions, clapped his hands vigorously, and shouted: "Don't be stunned, hurry up and attack." Bruce, stop standing there and complaining, hurry up and attack. β
Bruce Bowen didn't seem to have recovered from that terrible defense just now, and continued to defend himself: "That guy is just too fastγγγγγγ! β
'Nobody cares about what is in the past and now we have to get the score back as soon as possible. "Duncan hasn't been so tired since he took the Spurs boss. Tonight, he not only has to concentrate on playing on the court to lead the team to victory, but also keeps shouting like a broken mouth woman to cheer up his teammates.
Although Tim Duncan is a top student in psychology, he is not good at words, and he feels physically and mentally exhausted from playing multiple roles like he is now.
Duncan's shouting still had a little effect, and the Spurs' players were more or less back to normal. Parker advanced to the front court with the ball, but seemed to be missing a bit of his usual signature agility.
At the moment, basketball is like a hot potato, and no one wants it to stay in their hands for longer. The same goes for Parker, whose mind is now filled with the deafening shouts of the chaotic New York fans, and he can't even calm down and think about the team's tactics. So Tony Parker used the most direct way to pass the ball, and the goal of his passing was very simple, that is, Duncan on the inside.
Duncan seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and reacted immediately the moment he received the ball, holding the ball in both hands, his shoulders slightly back, and it seemed as if he wanted to punch Lamar one by one.
Lamar was also ready, took a step back, and waited for Duncan to throw himself into the net with his arms raised, but he was well prepared but didn't wait for anything.
Duncan's backward move was just a decoy, and sensing Lamar's backward movement, Duncan quickly stopped his body pushing inside, and with a force on his legs, his body took a step in the opposite direction, and then jumped and shot under Lamar's surprised gaze.
"Bang!"
The ball goes in.
Duncan immediately hit the Knicks' three-pointer to get back to 10 percent with his best shot from the board.
The first tentative offense from both teams hit in the opening stanza, and then it was the Knicks' turn to come in.
Billups slowly dribbled the ball across the halfcourt, and when he faced Parker again, he didn't dare to relax too much. Parker's steals are also very famous throughout the league, and when he goes head-to-head with Parker, he can be hit if he is not careful.
"Lamar!"
Billups said hello and passed the ball to Lamar, who was 45 degrees from beyond the three-point line. He began to move towards the other side of the court, drawing Parker away from Lamar. 2k reading web
