Chapter 1128
By the start of the second half, the Bulls' little boys had their heads completely hot. Vertices are updated the fastest
The Knicks' chance to fight back has also arrived, and at this time, what can the Knicks' wolves do? Of course, they will attack frantically and beat the water dogs.
As if crazy, the Knicks were a kind of bandit who bombarded the Bulls' basket cluster under Lamar's leadership, and the game was completely out of suspense.
Coach K's tactics were one of the highlights of the game, and although such a slow pace of the game would inevitably become a point of attack for experts after the game, Coach K's command art was perfectly displayed in this game.
There is another bright spot that is reflected in the Knicks' interior players, and the biggest contributor to the Knicks' victory in this game is not Lamar.
Lamar only played more than 20 minutes in this game before clocking out and finishing with only 15 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists.
The biggest contributor to today's victory was veteran Alonzo Monin.
Although the old guy only scored 12 points in this game, he grabbed 19 rebounds, in addition to a surprising 6 blocks, which is too much of a hot pot addiction.
Of course, in addition to the rejuvenated old guy Mourning, Birdman Anderson also performed well in today's game, playing 25 minutes off the bench and scoring a total of 16 points, in addition to 11 rebounds and 3 blocks.
This made Coach K quite pleased, you must know that Anderson's scoring level has always been criticized before, and it is rare to have such a performance today.
Milicic also played quite well today, scoring 12 points and five rebounds in the game.
Patrick Ewing, the old guy who made his debut for the Knicks after his comeback, also had a good time in front of his fellow countrymen today, he got 6 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 blocks.
The team should have won the game should have been a happy thing, although today's opponent was a little tender, but there was one person who was very unhappy, that is, the Knicks' only rookie who did not play today, Trevo Ariza.
Now that the regular season is coming to an end, Ariza, a rookie player, has basically not had any chance to work. Except for the occasional garbage time, when Coach K let the main players practice well, Ariza can only wear a suit to play the team's supernumerary staff most of the time.
Although Ariza was included in the roster for this game, she was guarding the water cooler from beginning to end, and she didn't even get a second of playing time. This made Ariza, who had always felt aggrieved in his heart, how could he stand it, he was angry, very angry, his anger almost ignited himself.
Looking at his teammates who were celebrating the victory on the court, and at Nelson, the little fat man who was also a rookie like himself but had already proven himself on the team, Ariza had only one thought left in his mind.
"I want to play! I have to be in the rotation!"
"I want to be in the rotation!"
The day after the victory over the Chicago Bulls, the Knicks got a rare respite, and their schedule has been so dense lately that they haven't had a good breather.
Probably because the playoffs are approaching, this time Coach K did not follow the system of combining work and rest that he has always insisted on giving the players a vacation, but insisted on training.
After all, at this time, staying in shape is the most important thing, and no one knows if the form of these players will change after a day off the pitch. Just by looking at the eyes of Coach K staring at the players now, he knows that he is afraid that in the blink of an eye, these treasures under his hands will suddenly become a big fat man.
Everyone knows that the more the regular season draws to a close, the more teams that hope to make the playoffs will definitely become crazy, and the already dense competition will become more intense.
This period is the biggest test period for the players' physical strength and condition, and it is like a nightmare for the rookies. If you can't get through it, and even play a few stinky games, then congratulations, you've hit the wall.
It doesn't matter if you are a rookie who has been playing for a few years, even if you are an old bird who has been in the NBA for three years, if you are not prepared, you may be hit, and it will still make you hit your head and bleed.
Finally, after a day's training, Lamar was about to take a shower and clean up and go home, but he didn't expect Alizaki to come to the door and say his thoughts in the first sentence.
Lamar also regrets choosing Trevo Ariza in the first place.
Obviously, when the team was asked to choose Ariza in the draft, Lamar was dominated by the inertial thinking of his previous life, thinking that Ariza, who was outstanding in his previous life, would be a good addition to the Knicks' forward line. It's a pity that he forgot that Ariza had been unknown before joining the Lakers, just an ordinary member of the NBA's hundreds of bench players.
Lamar is even a little skeptical about whether there is a problem with his memory, because seeing that Ariza has been training with the team for almost a season, so far, Lamar has not found even the slightest sparkle in Ariza's body.
If you have to find something similar to Ariza in her previous life, it's Tieza, this guy's shooting is really bad!
It's not that Ariza is useless, in fact, Ariza still has a lot of ruthlessness when he plays, and when he doesn't have a hot head and fouls, his defense is not bad.
But other than that, Ariza didn't have anything that interested Lamar!
With Ariza's current ability, it is impossible to enter the Knicks' rotation lineup, after all, the small forward position, whether it is Battier or Prince, has the strength to crush him.
It can even be said that with Ariza's current strength and form, it is difficult to get regular playing time in other teams.
Lamar really couldn't figure out how Ariza in his memory in his previous life could have become so watery if he hadn't had a problem.
Lamar is certainly not the golden eye as people say he is, his only advantage is that he knows history better than others, and he knows everything about which player will be popular in every draft before 2017.
But Ariza's appearance obviously gave Lamar a slap in the face, and made Lamar understand that some guys will indeed become stars as they remember, but some people, once they lack the experience of their previous lives, may be lost to everyone.
In the beginning, Lamar also had a period of interest in Ariza. But as Battier and Prince went from strength to strength, Lamar lost interest in Ariza.
A player who doesn't have the quality to show up on the pitch to contribute to the team won't attract Lamar's interest at all.
What's more, Ariza's personality is a bit introverted and shy, and he is a stuffy gourd. To be honest, the fact that such a guy can stay on a super team like the Knicks is also due to Bayramar's prestige in the Knicks.
If it weren't for the fact that Ariza was a rookie that Lamar brought in, and Coach K had not been in the Knicks for a long time, Coach K would have traded him away or cut him to make room for the Knicks to find a good replacement.
However, Ariza was uncharacteristically unusual, and actually took the initiative to run in front of Lamar and ask for a chance to play.
Lamar was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he still felt that Ariza's request was a bit vexatious.
The NBA is a place where the winner is king, the loser is the loser, only the strong can survive in the league, even if Lamar is now the status of the NBA's No. 1 star, if one day he fails, he will still be swept into the garbage heap, and he will still be replaced by a new idol.
If you want to be in the team's squad, and if you want to get a certain amount of playing time in Coach K's tactical arrangement, you have to prove it with your own actions! What is the matter with him? Although Lamar is the boss of the team, it is impossible to interfere with Coach K's normal arrangement.
Even good brothers like Billups and Anderson, if their strength is not good, Lamar will not use them for public use. And Lamar knows Coach K very well, although the old man is usually very talkative, but once Lamar dares to dictate his personnel and tactical arrangements in front of Coach K, Lamar believes that Coach K will never compromise, and even resign from his position for this!
Thinking of this, Lamar's eyes changed when he looked at Trevo Ariza.
When Lamar's piercing gaze rested on him, Ariza couldn't help but shudder, and couldn't help but regret her reckless behavior. Ariza didn't think he should have run so recklessly, but the desire for the race, and the anxiety of not being able to get time for a long time, made him unable to hold back.
In order to show his determination, Ariza did not flinch, and still looked at Lamar stubbornly.
The two looked at each other for a while, and Lamar's cold voice rang out: "You want to enter the rotation, so tell me, why are you playing now?"
"I!I!" Ariza said, he really doesn't have much capital now, but his stubborn character is destined not to regress: "I believe that if I play, I won't be worse than anyone, I just don't have a chance!"
"Opportunity?" Lamar sneered: "Opportunity is for people with strength, what strength do you have now? Hell! If you think your three-legged cat skills are not bad, I really want to congratulate you, maybe you can really find a chance in Japan and South Korea now!"
Trevo Ariza's face was flushed with Lamar's sarcasm, and he looked at Lamar, and suddenly became incoherent when he spoke in annoyance: "You! You don't let me play because you're afraid! You're afraid I'll take your stuff, you're afraid I'll overtake you, you're afraid I'll take your position as the Knicks boss!"
