During this time, Arenas has become a hero on the court, showing the demeanor of a general in his gestures.

Before the end of the first quarter, with Arenas' sudden performance, the Timberwolves actually chased the score to 29:34, only 5 points behind the Knicks.

With 18 seconds left in the first quarter, Lamar had the ball.

Before half-time, Garnett pounced and approached Lamar little by little with small steps. Then the wolf king suddenly grabbed it, but Lamar dodged it, but Garnett stuck to Lamar's body, making Lamar unable to move forward.

"You Knicks are so generous that you gave us such a wonderful guy. You must be very upset now, right?" Tired of Lamar's cynicism, the wolf king, who had finally seized the opportunity, naturally whispered in Lamar's ear: "Even I didn't expect that Gilbert guy to be so powerful! ”

Although Lamar can still control the ball in his hands now, he can't score an inch at all under Garnett's strong pressure. Seeing the attacking time pass little by little, he can only choose to pass the ball in the end.

"Smack!"

There was another exclamation from the Madison scene, it was Arenas again!

When the Knicks chose not to renew Arenas' contract, no one in New York took the general seriously. Fans think that a troublemaker like Arenas is better off leaving the Knicks early, saving the team when the time comes.

Now that Arenas is in full swing, tonight is like an omnipresent ghost, ready to appear in the right place at any time, and at this moment he actually steals Lamar's pass again.

After the break, Arenas rushed to the half court alone without waiting for his teammates to settle down. Time was running out for the game, and with a quick counter-attack, Arenas made the decision in a flash of lightning.

Once again, Arenas was in the right place to break the ball.

Compared to Billups, Arenas' speed advantage is quite obvious, even when dribbling. After a few big strides, Arenas threw Billups out of two positions.

Seeing that Arenas was already on a smooth road in front of him, and seeing that the score gap was about to be narrowed again, Lamar was furious at this time.

Even if he was a former comrade-in-arms, but repeatedly slapping his face like this, Lamar's temper will inevitably come up.

As a veritable NBA No. 1 star today, Lamar naturally can't let Arenas, the former little brother, overwhelm him in momentum.

Seeing that Arenas had run away, Lamar shouted and ran wildly and chased after him.

When it comes to speed, there is no one in the entire NBA who is no match for Lamar.

Maddison fans only felt a blue figure flash in front of them, and they saw that the distance between Lamar and Arenas was shrinking.

The fans at the scene began to let out a burst of exclamations, they were already desperate for this goal, who knew that Lamar gave them expectations again.

As Arenas jumped after rushing to the free throw line, Lamar jumped behind him.

Lamar stretched out his hand as far as he could, trying to block Arenas' basketball.

At this time, Arenas, who was fantasizing about how to ridicule these fans who looked down on him after the dunk, didn't notice Lamar approaching behind him.

Arenas was clearly a little carried away, completely unaware of the danger coming, and was still figuring out what to do to smash the ball into the basket.

Arenas was originally crazy personally, and when he was in the Knicks, he was very talented in acting, especially when he was excited, the whole person would look crazy.

"Gilbert, be careful!" Phil Jackson shouted anxiously when he saw that Arenas was unaware of it, and that he didn't even have the slightest awareness of protecting the ball.

Arenas was also shocked when he heard Phil Jackson's shout. But by this time, it was too late for him to think about the change.

Lamar won't give Arenas that chance! As one of the league's leading blockers, Lamar has never had any prey escape from his men once he's targeted.

"Smack!", the basketball was slapped off the court by Lamar, and the flute at the end of the first quarter sounded.

When Lamar chased back, the impact was very strong, and he directly brought Arenas down.

The general's body slammed horizontally into the floor in mid-air, and his head buzzed for a while.

Lamar stood beside Arenas, looked at this former comrade-in-arms, and said with a grim gaze: "Gilbert, this is Madison, it's better to settle down in this place!"

Seeing Arenas perform so well, Lamar is happy in his heart, and he is happy that Arenas can gain a foothold in a super strong team like the Timberwolves.

Lamar hates betrayal, but he also wants to see his former brother go further and further.

If Arenas' performance is good, he will be able to beat Andre Miller and other competitors to sit in the starting position of the Timberwolves, get more opportunities to practice, and naturally improve his strength.

But if Arenas' good performance is based on his head, then the situation is different.

Arenas looked at the strong Lamar and was completely stunned. He never imagined that he would fall under the butcher's knife of Lamar, the New York bandit.

Not long ago, he was one of Madison's lair, and he felt lucky to see the enemies who fell under the man's butcher's knife. Now it's his turn to feel Lamar's butcher's knife, and it's really uncomfortable!

At this moment, as an opponent, Arenas really felt a kind of intimidating momentum in Lamar's body. This kind of momentum oppressed him breathlessly, and he inexplicably felt a sense of fear in his heart.

This is the king of the NBA? I may not be able to defeat such a person in my life! This is the most sincere thought of Arenas at this moment. An opponent he couldn't defeat gave him chills and chills, and Arenas really regretted his decision this summer.

Instead of holding Lamar's outstretched hand, Arenas struggled to his feet, and then walked back to his rest area in despair. Arenas kept his head down the whole time, he didn't want to face Coach Phil Jackson, he felt like he had let the coach down.

Looking at Arenas' appearance, the old fox naturally knew what the young man was thinking now. Phil Jackson only thought it was amused, then walked up to Arenas and said loudly, "Hey, young man, look up!"

Arenas was startled, instinctively glanced up, then quickly lowered his head and whispered, "I'm sorry! Coach, I didn't do well enough!"

"I'm sorry, why do you say I'm sorry?" Phil Jackson asked inexplicably, "You did a great job on the court just now, I saw it all." 11 points, four assists, two really nice steals, and oh! a block. And there were only two mistakes, which can be called perfect. Why do you say sorry?"

"But that ball just now!"

"What did Lamar do?" Phil Jackson said Arenas's concern without hesitation, and then went on to say loudly, "Hey, boy, who do you think you are? Magic Johnson?"

"No!" Arenas hastened to argue.

"You're kind of self-aware!, boy, I'm telling you, you're still young, and any mistake you make won't be unexpected by me. Do you know why I didn't limit your shots today? Tell you, just because your performance moved me!"

"To put it bluntly, you exceeded my expectations tonight. Every valid stat you just got on the pitch was a huge surprise to me. I wouldn't be surprised if you were covered a hundred times, and I wouldn't be angry about it. ”

"Gilbert, you have to remember that now you have nothing, no success, and nothing to lose. Do you know who you just challenged?"

"Lamar Odom!"

"That's right, it's that guy, although I don't want to admit it, but I have to say that this guy is a super genius that is rare in a hundred years. Think about it, is there anyone in this league who hasn't been overshadowed by him? At least we don't have anyone like that on our team, not even Kevin is at the hands of this guy!"

"So, there was nothing wrong with that ball at all. Take it easy, you have a long future ahead of you. Only God knows how you will get to that point, but it's up to you. Good job, I've been watching you all the time!"

Throughout the break, Phil Jackson chatted with Arenas to decompress the young man. As for the team's tactics, Phil doesn't think there is anything wrong with it. The team is on a very good momentum at the moment and if it continues like this, there is every hope that this game will be won.

After the timeout, Phil Jackson made a change, and Arenas was substituted. Although his current mental state is fine, the rapid advance of the whole game still consumes a lot of the general's physical strength. Of course, having been hit by Lamar and now seeing what others are doing on the pitch is also very important for Arenas.

The game restarted, and the Knicks also made adjustments, Billups was replaced, and it was the veteran Cassel who came on the court.

At the beginning of the game, Ray Allen took advantage of his teammates' blocking to shake off the defenders, and then immediately received a pass from Garnett, and hit a three-point shot from the outside, which suddenly narrowed the gap between the two sides to only two points.
