Coach K's words made the atmosphere in the locker room a lot more relaxed, and the expressions on the faces of the players were not so dignified!

In fact, everyone knows that the league temporarily changed the format in order to limit the Knicks and create trouble for the Knicks to defend the championship as much as possible. But I'm afraid that even the old Jewish man himself didn't expect that the Knicks would be able to beat the powerful Timberwolves twice in a row on the road, reaching a total score of 2:0.

"Well, since he's so kind, I don't think we can live up to his kindness. Now that our chance has come, fans in New York have been talking before the game about whether we can sweep the Minnesota Timberwolves in four games like we did last season, and now it's time for us to satisfy their curiosity. Although Coach K didn't say it explicitly, his meaning was very clear, sweep the opponent and end the fight as soon as possible.

Then Coach K began to arrange the tactics: "This is how our starting lineup is arranged for this game. Center Samuel Dampotter, I was very unhappy with your performance in the last game, how many rebounds did you let that Ben Wallace guy take in your head? This is not good! Not only am I asking you to completely crush that exploding head on the rebounds, but on the defensive end, I am asking you to never let Kevin Garnett score more than 20 points in this game! Can you do that?"

"But the coach, Kevin Garnett。。。。。。 ”

"I've been on the same page with Lamar when it comes to defending Kevin Garnett. Now I just ask you if you have the confidence to complete the task?"

Dampoter looked confident, clenched his fists and replied loudly, "Don't worry, coach, I'll put that husky in my pocket, and if he can score 20 points in my hands in this game, I'll run naked around Madison." ”

As soon as Dampoter's words ended, Sean Battier laughed evilly, "Oh, you want to bet so much, I really want to see you running naked with your bare ass, it must be very funny!"

Before Dampot could retort, Coach K said, "Very good, do you all want to see Samuel make a fool of himself? Then you are the small forward in this game! Sean, I hope you can give me a guarantee like Samuel!"

Battier was stunned when he heard this, and his laughter immediately stopped: "No problem, coach! My goal in this game is to make Ray Allen's soft egg run and break his leg and not score 20 points, if I can't do it, I'll go with Samuel!"

"Shut up, Sean, I can make good on my promise, you can run by yourself when the time comes!"

"Hehe, then you're going to have to curry favor with me now, are you sure you can completely control Kevin Garnett without my help?"

When Dampotter heard this, he immediately became proud, grabbed Battier's hand with a flattering smile on his face, and his sweet voice could spit out people's overnight meals: "Sean baby, I knew you were the best!

After a group of people laughed, the tense atmosphere in the Knicks team was completely relaxed. Although the team is facing a lot of difficulties now, for the Knicks, who have suffered a lot in recent years and have fully built their self-confidence, there is nothing that can really make it difficult for them.

No matter how bad the situation is, the Knicks' group of big men can face it with optimism. Of course, the main thing is that because their backbone Lamar is there, and with Lamar, they believe that the final winner will definitely be them!

"Ramal Odom, your mission in this game is different from the last two games, and this time I want you to fire all the power. Tonight you have to let go of your hands and feet, I will give you unlimited fire, they are in the same situation as we are, if you have the opportunity to do as much damage as possible! Of course, if you are still fit, you can help Samuel defend Garnett as much as possible. But I don't think that guy Garnett will dare to be too presumptuous tonight, he needs to protect his physical strength just like you!"

Lamar was silent because he had something in his heart, and just nodded, but the confidence on his face still made Coach K appreciate it very much.

"Shooting guard Devin Wade! Devin, you may play a little longer in this game, after all, there is no substitute behind you, pay attention to the distribution of energy! You have to make full use of your physical advantages, make as many problems as possible for the Timberwolves' outside players, and share the pressure for Lamar! I think Ray Allen will definitely not be able to guard you, right?"

Wade smiled very confidently: "Of course, I have never lost to him!"

Coach K nodded, and finally set his sights on the aliens Cassel and Jamal Nelson. The alien is okay, after all, he is an old fritter who has experienced a big scene and has a lot of experience, but the rookie Nelson can't calm down.

Before the start of this game, Nelson already had a hunch that because Billups was suspended, he was likely to be placed in the main lineup. As soon as he thought that he was going to appear on such a big stage as the finals as the main force of the team, he couldn't help but feel nervous in his heart, and of course excited.

"Jamal, I don't know if I should trust you?"

Coach K's words made Nelson's momentum rise a few points suddenly, and Lamar knew that Coach K was going to use the agitation method.

"Yes, Lamar recommended you to me! He thinks you can do a good job on this big stage, and I don't know if I should give you this responsibility, but I choose to trust Lamar. I trust Lamar's judgment as he did when he drafted you. Lamar has never missed a moment when it comes to seeing people, and I'm sure it's the same this time, I hope you don't disappoint me and Lamar!"

Coach K's words made Lamar couldn't help but be stunned, he had never said such a thing before, but feeling that Nelson threw a grateful look at him, Lamar also understood Coach K's good intentions.

Coach K is buying him hearts and minds and cultivating cronies for him.

Jamal Nelson stood up with excitement and exclaimed, "Coach, you can rest assured that I can do a good job!"

"Good!"

Coach K nodded, then looked at Cassel: "Sam, you are much stronger than Jamal, it stands to reason that I should put you in the starting lineup." But you also know where the Knicks are right now, so I'll have to use you as the sixth man!"

Cassel was still very calm: "Coach, you don't have to say anything, I understand!"

Coach K breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Kassel didn't look unusual, and then went on to lay out his tactics before stepping aside.

Coach K finished his pre-game assignment, and it was Lamar's turn to stand up and speak.

Lamar walked to the center of the locker room and first silently glanced at each teammate's face: "Brothers, I'm glad we're back now! Otherwise, I guess we won't be able to come back!Haha, okay, brothers, how does it feel to go home?"

"Very good!" the crowd laughed in response.

"Very well! I think so too. We all love this place, we all love this team, we all love the fans here. But now, brothers, we've got a bunch of hungry wolves on our doorstep who want to hurt the Knicks fans, who want to make the fans here cry, who want to disappoint the fans here, who even want to take over our turf! Tell me, what should we do?"

"Kill them!" his teammates shouted as Lamar's morale was mobilized.

"That's right! Kill them! Tell them Madison will always be our turf! If you want to go wild here, ask us if you say yes! Brothers, Madison is our home stadium, and there are fans out there who support us, who come here for hundreds or even thousands of dollars every game day to watch the game so that we can bring them joy. They definitely didn't come here to see us being bitten on the ass by that bunch of huskies. It's our responsibility to kill them. Alright bros, our lovely fans can't wait, do you want to disappoint them?"

"Can't!"

At this time, the Knicks' players were about to go crazy with Lamar's encouragement, and they were all red-eyed. At this time, if the Minnesota Timberwolves players dare to stand in front of them, they can tear each other apart.

The door to the locker room was kicked open again by Lamar. Although there are only 8 players left behind Lamar, looking at their appearance, they are simply more imposing than 12.

Before he even stepped out of the players' tunnel, Lamar could already hear the clamor of the fans outside. It's time for the game, and the fans in New York are ready to watch them.

Lamar waved his hand, and the other Knicks players followed him and walked out of the tunnel.

"Let's welcome, King of New York, owner of Madison Square Garden Arena, mighty Lamar。。。。。。。 Witherspoon 。。。。。。 ”

"Our monster under the basket, Samuel, the Haitian monster who can smash the bones of all enemies。。。。。。 Damport 。。。。。。 ”

"Alonzo, the hard-blooded guy who belongs to the Knicks, the great kidney fighter。。。。。。 Rodman...... Alonzo...... ”
