The Pacers also took the opportunity to recover a little bit of points, narrowing the gap to a dozen points. Seeing this, Van Gundy immediately sent in Dampot and Sean Battier to stabilize the situation.

As a result, by the end of the half, the Knicks still maintained a 16-point lead.

After the half-time break, when the second half started, Lamar was still not sent up by Van Gundy. This has aroused the dissatisfaction of the fans, and although Van Gundy is now comparable to the decorated coaches in the history of the Knicks, they will never budge on the issue of Lamar.

There was a shout of "Lamar, Lamar!" and the fans were shouting and hoping that their hero would play, but Van Gundy seemed unmoved. Lamar didn't seem to react, just sat honestly on the sidelines and watched his teammates fight.

Lamar is so calm, probably only he knows why, he is preparing for the next game, and he has a reason why he can't help but win the next opponent.

It wasn't until nearly halfway through the third quarter that Lamar was re-fielded. There were 20 points left, and they all believed that with Lamar's strength, it would not be difficult to do so.

But Lamar came on the pitch and provided three assists in a row for the fans, and although each assist was beautiful, the fans now want to see Lamar score, not see him as a playmaker. It's just that Lamar still didn't make a shot until the end of the third quarter, and naturally he didn't score a point.

This made the fans at the stadium wonder if Lamar was really tired, so that he couldn't even score. But at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Lamar responded to the expectations of fans with two consecutive three-pointers and two violent dunks that broke through to the basket.

Ten points in a row, and now it is only 10 points away from that 10,000-point mark.

In the end, Lamar still failed to score a career-10,000 points against the Indiana Pacers.

Lamar only played for more than five minutes in the fourth quarter, and he seemed to be deliberately not scoring, and every time the ball came to him, he would choose to pass the ball at the first opportunity, even if it was the best opportunity.

This is not a big pity for fans who support and like Lamar, who is only 24 years old this year, and it is a miracle that he can score an astonishing 10,000 points in four seasons. Carefully calculated, excluding those games where Lamar missed due to injury or suspension, Lamar scored a staggering number of 31.6 points in a single game.

It's just that others regret Lamar's sighs, but Lamar himself doesn't care much. In the face of such a weak team as the Indiana Pacers, the shock is really nothing to be proud of in his opinion! Maybe after a while, he will forget about it completely.

With the mark on the verge of hitting the mark, Lamar would rather save the record for a more meaningful match. For example, their next opponent, the San Antonio Spurs.

Although Lamar is reluctant to mention the grievances between the two teams last season, the reporters who are not willing to be lonely do not think so. All they knew was that it was a nice gimmick, eye-catching enough to increase the sales of their newspaper. In this regard, the chairman of the league, David Stern, also contributed to the situation, and a topic like this to raise the attention of the league is exactly what he needs, otherwise how many people will be willing to follow the game of the San Antonio Spurs?

The fact that the team lost the championship at the last minute last season is still hard for New York fans to let go. They decided that it was the despicable San Antonios who stole their championship! The Knicks had waited too long for the honor, and they were already impatient. As a result, seeing that the O'Brien Cup was about to arrive, it was stolen because of the despicable methods of the San Antonios, which was really difficult for New York fans to accept.

"They're coming, what are they going to see? yes, revenge!" Revenge!" a fan interviewed on the streets of New York snarled loudly at the camera.

"Do they think that holding the O'Brien Cup in their arms is the end of it? It's not that cheap! It's our stuff and we're going to get it back. ”

"That's right, that bad old man of the League is an accomplice of the San Antonios, otherwise why would the League refuse to pay for such a mistake? We will also make the San Antonios pay a heavy price!"

"One last word of caution to those San Antonios, don't think it's just a regular season, they can get through it easily. Look under their feet, the land here belongs to the people of New Yorkers, and when they set foot on it, it means that they have entered hell. ”

"That's right! It's hell! It's a revenge fight, Lamar and they are fighting for the honor of the team on the field, and my brothers and I will teach the vile San Antonio people a hard lesson off the court. ”

Before the game even started, people could already smell the smoke of gunpowder. These two teams, which were not supposed to be rivals, have now become mortal enemies because of the intimidation case that has not been really solved last season, and they are still to the point of not dying.

In order to make the family forget the terrible experience as soon as possible, Lamar and his family did not mention it after the incident ended. But even so, Lamar still has a deep hatred for the Spurs! Whether it is Bruce Bowen or Zhuge Vic, all of them are what Lamar wants to get rid of.

'It's just a game and I want the fans to try to control their emotions as much as possible and I don't want to talk about it again. It's all over, and it's useless to say anything now. As I said, because of me, the team lost a chance to win the championship, and I owe the fans a trophy! It's our business, it's my responsibility, I'm going to make it up to everyone, that's my promise to the fans. ”

"For this game, I just want to say that it was just a normal regular season. By the end of the game, it will be clear which side is more deserving of last season's trophy. ”

Although Lamar kept saying that he didn't want to add too much hatred to this game, in the end, people could still clearly feel the hatred for Spurs in his tone. Even if the whole world proves to the Spurs that they have nothing to do with it, Lamar will not let go of the knot in his heart.

Lamar didn't hate the Spurs for stealing the championship trophy that should have belonged to the Knicks by despicable means, he hated the Spurs for causing him and his family to be fatally injured. As the saying goes, it doesn't hurt your family, and this is the most unforgivable thing Lamar can forgive!

More and more people are getting involved in this upcoming game, coupled with the media hype and the league's push. The game has not even started, and the number of people who follow this game through various channels is already a terrifying number.

The New York Knicks are ready, and this hatred of theirs has been accumulated in their hearts for too long, just waiting for this opportunity to vent. The Spurs, on the other hand, are a different story entirely, with players still in their home of San Antonio, but danger is already on the horizon. Now the Spurs players can clearly feel that the whole team is full of tension.

"I think someone is fanning the flames behind us and inciting the fans to hate us. If you really want to talk about despicability, the person behind the scenes is the most despicable person, he doesn't think about the fans at all, and he doesn't think about the collective interests of the league! Once something really happens, the image of the league will be hurt first, and the fans of the two teams will also become enemies from now on, which is very abnormal!"

"Lamar is right, it's just a normal regular season. I hope that both Spurs fans and Knicks fans can treat it with a normal heart, instead of revenge, revenge, which of the two teams is more deserving of last season's championship. ”

'Last season is over, it's too late to talk about it! As for what Lamar said, I agree with it too, and leave everything to the stadium. As for the fans in New York, I hope they can restrain themselves, they hated the Finals last season, and that's not our reason. ”

Although Spurs head coach Zhuge Vic spoke in a tough tone, people could easily feel that Zhuge was worried about the upcoming game, and his heart was upset. It could be a concern for the safety of the players, or it could be a fear for the outcome of the game!

The Spurs haven't made much of a change to the team in the summer amid a transfer wave in which other teams have been busy expanding their arsenal. Although he lost the soul of the team, David Robinson, Robinson is old after all, and it is time to retire. The rest of the main lineup basically maintains the original team from last season.

Stability has always been something that Zhuge Vic pursues, and he doesn't think that the addition or exit of one or two stars will have much impact on the overall strength of the team, and he even thinks that making major changes to the main lineup will undermine the stability of the team.

The Spurs have also started the season very well, which confirms Zhuge Vic's speculation. Although it may be too early to talk about defending the championship, there is still a strong desire to defend the title.

It was also at this time that Zhuge was very afraid that something bad would happen. Now, just by looking at the huge cumulonimbus cloud hanging over New York, Zhuge could predict what would happen in this game.
