Chapter 540
At this time, Jeff Van Gundy's tactical arrangement is over. .?r?a?n?? e?n?`o?r?g?
"Lamar, are you ready?"
Lamar got up and moved his upper body, feeling pretty good, and didn't feel particularly uncomfortable. So he gave Jeff Van Gundy a thumbs up.
The clash between the New York Knicks and the New Jersey Nets is about to happen again, and because of Lamar, the game is once again the highlight of the major sports media.
Today, not only were the stands full, but the seats closest to the stadium were star-studded. Many NBA celebrities were on the scene, such as Gorilla Ewing, Big Bird Larry Bird, Knicks legend Willis Reed, Sky Hook Barr, Magic Johnson, Bill Wharton and others were all present.
Of course, some Hollywood stars will not let go of such an opportunity to shine, whether they really like basketball or not, they will not let go of the opportunity to show their faces like this.
It's just a pity that Lamar feels a little sad that Vanessa and Jonathan's family didn't come. However, he did see his old lover Kardashian sisters and Miranda Kerr at the scene.
In order to avoid embarrassment, and more importantly, not to let Vanessa misunderstand anything, Lamar just nodded at them as a greeting.
The atmosphere in the stadium was still as hot as in the previous games, or even more so than in previous games. Because Lamar made a comeback in this game, it made the situation of Mars hitting Earth even more tense.
Before the game even started, the New Jersey fans were already going crazy.
In the eyes of the fans, they won the game because they had won the previous games on the road, and now that they are back at their home stadium, they should be able to win more easily.
Although the Knicks have Lamar joining, for the New Jerseyians, Lamar, who has been injured so badly, should not be able to exert much strength.
After ending his appearance ceremony, Kidd still found Lamar as soon as possible: "Lamar, you really shouldn't come back, you know that even if you come back, the Knicks won't be able to win tonight!"
"Oh, really? Let's have a good fight today!"
In the first game between the two teams, Kidd withdrew from the game with an injury at the beginning, much to Lamar's disappointment.
"I'm afraid that your persistence will not be the last!"
"You're still worried about yourself!" Lamar was not angry, in his eyes Kidd's provocation at this time was more like a child making a fuss: "The fans outside just now were very interesting!"
As soon as he mentioned the incident just now, Lamar couldn't help but feel angry, that incident could already be ashamed of his life, if he didn't find a way to return it, it was estimated that he would not have a good night's sleep: "I can only tell you that all the pain you have to endure after today's game is your own infliction." ”
Jason Kidd's face changed, and he was not so good-tempered when it came to the game: "Do you think I should apologize for the irrational behavior of those fans now?"
"I don't care about your apology! I'll give it back on the pitch what you New Jerseys gave me. ”
At this point, the last cloak of friendship between the two teams was stripped away, and all that remained between them was a never-ending battle until one of them fell.
"Cheer up, guys, we're going to kick their ass in front of the New Jersey Nets today!" Lamar suddenly turned and shouted at his teammates, shaking everyone violently, and the otherwise noisy scene instantly fell silent.
"What a worry-free guy!" Jeff Van Gundy slapped his forehead in pain, and could only smile helplessly.
"Bastard, what are you?"
"Don't forget where you are now, don't you want to go back to New York?"
"Jason, kill him, blow that bastard!"
After less than three seconds of silence, the scene became even more noisy, and all the fans' scolding fell on Lamar's head at once, and he had a resolute posture.
But Lamar didn't seem to hear at all, and even put his hand to his ear, as if he really wanted to hear what they were saying.
Lamar's arrogant appearance angered the fans in New Jersey even more, and the scolding was higher and higher.
Several referees were also silent. Seeing that the season is coming to an end, they have worked hard for a whole year, but at the last moment, Lamar doesn't want to make it easy for them, and he has to do something.
After discussing it with a few people, it was finally decided to play as soon as possible, and if Lamar guy dared to stir up trouble again, he would be punished directly, and no one would be given face tonight.
Kenyon Martin was suspended, and it was Floor Flow center Collins who came out to scramble for the ball on the Nets' side, and Collins also lived up to expectations and touched the void very competitively.
The basketball is slapped into Lamar's hand by Dampot.
The first wave of offense in the opening game was dominated by the Knicks, and Lamar passed the ball to Billups when he advanced to the three-point line of the Nets half, and he began to run widely with Richard Jefferson.
When Lamar ran to the bottom left corner of the three-point line, Billups got the ball back in time.
Lamar received the ball and leaned directly on Jefferson's body.
Lamar faced Jefferson, who was a lap younger than him, and of course had to play to his greatest strengths.
But just as Jefferson was standing firm and preparing to die, Lamar suddenly used the reaction force after the collision to turn around and step back and jump to shoot. The whole action went smoothly without the slightest hesitation.
By the time Jefferson tried to block, the basketball had already gone over his head.
"Huh!"
The Knicks take the lead!
Kidd looked at Lamar, who was retreating, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Lamar just scored this time and he didn't look like a player with an injury in any way, and he even looked fitter than a healthy person.
But time doesn't allow him to think so much now, and after receiving the baseline ball, Kidd led his teammates to counterattack.
After the ball passed half the court, the person who took the initiative to meet the Knicks was Billups.
Houston's defense wasn't good enough to take on Kidd. Now the Knicks can take out the only person left to defend Kidd is Billups, at least his body is not worse than Kidd, his experience is not bad, and he will not be completely inferior in the confrontation.
It's just that this advantage is not justified in front of a superstar like Kidd, and two consecutive disguises have overtaken Billups.
By the time Chauncey raised his head to look for someone again, Kidd was gone.
After breaking through Billups, Kidd didn't show off his ball-handling skills too much. After reaching the free throw line, Kidd suddenly jumped up to shoot, a sudden move that made the backup Dampoter save.
"Huh!"
There was immediate jubilation, they weren't exactly celebrating the goal, but what made the fans happy was that Kidd actually attacked on his own, which was what the fans cared about the most.
After the goal, Kidd tilted his head at Lamar and said defiantly: "I won't be intimidated by you, Lamar!"
Lamar didn't say anything and ran straight to the Nets' half court, tangling with Jefferson again.
"Show me what you're really capable of! Let me see if you're really as good as they say you are, or if you're just a façade. Jefferson was still babbling as he followed Lamar as best he could.
Lamar didn't respond in the slightest, and the seemingly aimless run was actually planned by him. Since he is an undying enemy, then he has nothing to take care of.
Rely on fighting! or rely on fighting! Don't take advantage of such a big advantage, unless Lamar's brain shows off!
"This damn bastard!"
Jefferson didn't understand what Lamar was paying attention to, but there was really nothing better for him to do but hold on in this situation.
Kidd's ankle injury has not yet healed, although he can break through Billups's encirclement and interception every time he relies on his dribbling skills, but this way of passing is still a great danger to his ankle!
Finally, when he broke through Billups with another flower-piercing butterfly step, there was a sudden tingling of soreness in Kidd's ankle. If it weren't for the drug, Kidd would probably have collapsed from the pain by this time, but even so, he couldn't help but pause.
Billups seized the opportunity accurately and suddenly accelerated a steal.
Seeing this, Alan Houston immediately put aside his defensive players and rushed towards the Nets' halfcourt, and Billups' pass arrived in time.
Houston received the ball and threw it forward, and the basketball in his hand was thrown.
"Huh!"
The Knicks are leading again!
When Kidd saw the ball go in, he could only shake his head helplessly. He knows very well that Billups is no longer the wandering point guard he used to be. Now that Billups has grown into a top-notch point guard, his extensive game experience has taught him how to play smarter.
"Don't be too happy, kid!" Kidd shouted after seeing Billups' assist and running back without saying a word.
Hearing Kidd's words, Billups stopped and looked, "Jason, I'm not going to lose to you!"
After saying that, Billups left again.
"Won't you lose to me?" Kidd repeated to himself, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "This is New Jersey, my territory!
Kidd's riposte came like a storm, as before.
Billups' usually solid defense was like paper in front of Kidd, completely vulnerable.
A light layup, which also caused a foul on Dampoter, who came to make up for it, made it two plus one, and the New Jersey Nets successfully equalized the score.
After the free throw, Kidd gave Billups a meaningful look: "Boy, you're still a little tender, you're not my opponent!" )
