Chapter 594
"I've been waiting for a long day?" Elton Brand said with a blank face, two bulls' eyes staring at Lamar's every move.
Lamar's right shoulder sank slightly, slowly patted the ball, and said with a sneer: "Did it start from the day when others said I was better than you?"
Elton Brand's face changed slightly, and it was clear that Lamar's words had touched his penalty area: "Soon people won't think so. ”
"Really?"
Before the words fell, Lamar suddenly launched, without any fancy movements, completely relying on speed to decide the winner.
Elton Brand was not easy to deal with, opening his arms to squeeze Lamar's forward space as much as possible.
Seeing this, Lamar slowed down the speed of the breakthrough, and then came to pull the ball and turned.
"Is this like defeating me? You're naïve!" Elton Brand shouted, his body moving sideways in front of Lamar again.
Lamar, on the other hand, didn't even see it, and jumped up with his legs crossed.
Elton Brand didn't dare to slack off, and jumped up, stretching his pair of unusually long arms as much as possible to block in front of Lamar.
Just when all Clippers fans were glad that Lamar's offense would come to naught, a surprising scene happened.
Lamar was pinned to the air, holding the basketball with his hands slightly bent until Elton Brand began to fall, and Lamar seemed to remain in the air.
Then raise your hand and shoot!
"Whew!"
"Elton, this is a welcome gift for you in the new season!" Lamar shouted insolently after landing on the ground, it would be absolutely deceptive to say that he did not have the slightest resentment in his heart for Brand's provocation.
But after shouting these words, Lamar knew that he and Brand were destined to die tonight.
As soon as he made a shot, he once again showed people his tough side and superb basketball skills, which seemed to herald a big victory.
The Clippers fans in the stands have let go of their original happy mood, and while cheering for their team, they can't help but feel confused about their team's future tonight.
The greatest charm of the NBA, or competitive sports, is its unpredictability. But it seems that the unpredictability of the NBA seems to surpass that of football!
In the football game, the result of the Brazilian team meeting the Chinese team is estimated that every Chinese will not have illusions! And in the NBA, even the powerful Bulls dynasty that made the league tremble, they dare not guarantee that they will win all the games when they face the current fish belly.
No matter how strong Jordan is, he can't guarantee that he can score 60 points in every game.
Just when the New York Knicks felt that victory was already in their pocket, Elton Brand, the leader of the Clippers, stepped up and gave the New Yorkers a hard shot.
First of all, their bad center Foyer, the big man who has never been favored by Clippers fans, has a rare flash of inspiration. Taking advantage of the opportunity for Lamar to demonstrate against Brand after the score, the large area of defense left behind him was empty, and he sent the ball out as fast as he could.
The basketball went directly to Piakowski, the centerpiece of the team's backcourt, who took advantage of the chaos to make a very easy one-stop attack, taking advantage of the Knicks' unstable foothold to score two points.
Piakowski also used these two points to prove to the Knicks that not to mention that the Clippers are just in a rebuilding period, even if they really fall to the bottom of the league, they will not let the Knicks win easily against them!
Who wins and who loses!
After seeing his teammate score, Elton Brand raised his arm again to Lamar, who had let go of him, pointed a finger, and hooked his finger with a contemptuous expression. Brand's meaning is obvious: men will fight it out!
"What an arrogant guy!" Lamar looked at Elton Brand's slightly ostentatious movements, and the corners of Lamar's mouth hooked. Lamar then turned his attention to a grim-faced Elton Brand again, and it looked like the bout would soon turn into a two-man contest again.
If Tim Duncan is the most consistent guy on the basketball court, then Elton Brand, who is not injured, is the closest man to Tim.
The reason why Brand is said to be uninjured is because just when Elton Brand's many statistics were already comparable to Thiem's and his career was at its peak, injuries struck. Brand, who later left the Clippers, never returned to his pre-injury form, and his stats plummeted.
You must know that before he was injured, Brand was the only 2 interior stars in the league at that time who could get an average of 22+10+2.5+1+2 per game, and the other was Dumb Tim Duncan.
Of course, Kevin Garnett's data is also exceptionally good! But compared with the first two, Garnett's career data parabolic arc is too large, and the first two have 20+10+2 data as soon as they enter the league. Second, Garnett's average blocks per game has never been on 2 times.
Elton Brand's anger is not only because the title of the strongest rookie in the 99 world was deprived by Lamar, but more because Elton Brand, who is the pride of the sky, never thinks that his strength is worse than Lamar in his heart, but his luck is just bad!
Perhaps it was only after he was swept away by the Clippers that Elton Brand realized that he was of no use on his own. Although he got his wish and became the absolute boss of the team, the Clippers have never had a chance to win the NBA championship, and even have a problem with playoff qualification in some seasons.
Elton Brand certainly hopes he can find a good helper, but that's easier said than done: Simmons has a lot of potential, but his ups and downs and inconsistent shooting skills are his biggest problems. It's a boost, and if it's not used well, it's a time bomb.
The lonely can only overdraw his life to take the helm of the current broken ship, fight in the sea, and pursue his own continental shelf.
For Lamar, Elton Brand was not used to it, but he appreciated it very much at first!
Especially when Lamar created miracles again and again, with incredible performances such as quadruple-doubles, stunners, and free throw line jumps staged one after another, Elton Brand's original dissatisfaction with Lamar turned into a little jealousy.
Brand is jealous of Lamar's personal ability, jealous of Lamar's luck, jealous of Lamar's teammates, first OK, and then there are good helpers such as Dampoter, Alan Houston, and Billups.
Especially now, when Elton Brand feels as if his position with the Clippers is going to be affected by Lamar, he finally can't help but pull out his knife and fight back.
When Lamar looked at Elton Brand, Elton Brand was also looking at Lamar!
In today's league, among the current NBA stars that Lamar wants to play the most, Elton Brand has replaced Karl Malone and other super power forwards, ranking third. Second only to the new generation of superstars Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett.
Compared with Tim Duncan, who is in the old Spurs, he still became the wolf king Garnett who formed the three-headed monster Timberwolves. Although the Los Angeles Clippers are in the midst of a rebuild, Elton Brand is the closest age to Lamar, and Brand is still improving. Such an opponent is what Lamar needs most.
He raised his hand to Billups, who immediately understood and passed the ball to Lamar's hand.
After dribbling steadily through the half, Lamar and Brand went head-to-head.
Facing Lamar who was approaching, Elton Brand didn't dare to be careless at all. He had just watched a video of the Knicks vs. Mavericks before the game, and Lamar's performance was still vivid.
Elton Brand doesn't want to admit it, but Lamar's performance on the field has surpassed him in many ways. But this does not mean that he will willingly accept defeat, which has never been a word in Brand's dictionary!
Lamar's movements are still a quick word, whether it is stepping down to dribble or turning and shaking, Lamar's movements do not give Elton Brand much time to think at all.
But Elton Brand is Elton Brand after all, a top power forward who has tore through three seasons in the NBA. In the face of the menacing Lamar, Elton Brand, who has matured, did not mess up with himself, let alone rush to risk a steal.
Experience, instinct! At this time, Elton Brand relied on his two advantages to tightly control Lamar.
Lamar tried a few times in a row before suddenly dropping the racket. Just as Elton Brand was about to relax a little, Lamar jumped straight and straight without warning.
Lamar's sudden attack left Elton Brand too late to react, and although the latter tried to leap up and block with his arms outstretched, it was in vain.
"Huh!"
Ball in!
Elton Brand glanced back at the basket and then turned to stare at Lamar with the smell of gunpowder in his eyes.
Brand sensed that Lamar was obviously playing tricks on him, and Lamar had a chance to force a breakthrough and end the fight in a more manly way, but he chose that way.
"You bastard, are you humiliating me?"
In the face of Elton Brand's anger, Lamar didn't care at all, the stadium is the battlefield! Lamar showed a regretful expression, shrugged his shoulders and said: "It's a pity, you almost stopped me." ”
Elton Brand believed that if he had a pistol in his hand at this time, he would buy 10,000 magazines and shoot all the bullets into Lamar's body in one go. But alas, he didn't have a gun in his hand, and the only thing he could use as a weapon was the basketball. !
