Chapter 873
"Lamar!" Van Gundy said, turning his gaze to Lamar again: "I'll only give you ten minutes in the second half, try to use your best energy, and let the Raptors this little reptile never recover." ”
Lamar nodded, not having a problem with Van Gundy's arrangement. Although he felt very good in this game, after all, the injury was just right, so it was better to save some strength at this time.
"No problem!"
"Good!" Van Gundy smiled and nodded, and then admonished: "Guys, don't let your guard down! The Raptors are not as good as us, but they are also a strong team in the East, they are very strong, but they are not fully molded yet. Beat them to death before they become a climate!"
In the end, Van Gundy's gritted teeth looked like a villain, and Lamar couldn't help but shudder in his heart.
At halftime, the game resumed.
The Raptors served, and the basketball was still in Anthony's hands. Just after being taught a lesson by Van Gundy, Battier was holding a bad breath in his heart, and his defense became extremely solid, with his arms open, expanding the defensive area to the extreme, so that Anthony could not find a suitable offensive opportunity for a while.
But the little melon is a little melon after all, and after so many years of dominating the NCAA, he is also used to seeing the wind and waves. He's not one of those rookies who just entered the league, is weak and can be bullied, and can't help but bow his head when he hears the boos of Knicks fans in his ears, he is much more mature than those rookies, and his ability to control the game is quite strong.
Seeing that the strong attack failed, Anthony immediately changed his strategy, shaking his shoulders to make a strong stance, and after attracting the attention of the Knicks' defense, he passed the ball with a slight flick of his wrist like a defender.
Jeffries, who was unguarded on the outside, jumped up and shot directly after receiving the ball and scored the ball. This was the first time Jeffries scored in this game, and after the goal, Jeffries also looked very affectionate and waved his arms vigorously.
Although the Raptors' offense played beautifully, the Knicks were not moved at all. The maturity of a team depends mainly on whether their core players can withstand the pressure, and now that Lamar has found the right way to play, he has shown that he is not impatient when it comes to the Raptors' scoring momentum.
"Huh!"
Lamar's three-pointer once again brought the score back to 11 points, and Jeffries, who was standing across from him on defense, looked more like a gun mount, and the biggest role of staying there was to foil Lamar's greatness.
In the next game, both sides exerted their full energy, and the Raptors didn't seem to want to sit still and honestly play a supporting role, and the offense was still vigorous. With Vince Carter and Anthony as arrows, Alvin Williams, Jeffries and others also began to exert their energy, and although it was not easy to score, they bit the score tightly.
Battier and Anthony, in particular, started a gladiator-like battle as if they were rivals at the start of the second half. Battier looks really depressed, he is not afraid of the famous Kobe Bryant during the game, he is not afraid of LeBron James, who is full of muscles, and he is not afraid of Paul Pierce, but once he encounters an opponent like Anthony, he can't play.
Battier couldn't play with this, and there was also a problem with his stamina, so Van Gundy decisively replaced Bobby Simmons. This substitution puzzled everyone present, because Simmons and Battier are not players of the same grade in any way, but this substitution has achieved miraculous results.
Although Bobby Simmons can't replace Battier on both the offensive and defensive ends, Simmons has an advantage that Battier and Salmons and others don't have, that is, they are desperate enough! Simmons has a tenacity that will not give up until he reaches his goal, coupled with the villain's den of returning from the Lakers to the Knicks this season, he urgently needs to fight for his big contract next year, so all the qualities he should have as a villain have been stimulated, and some small actions that an outside player should have, he is even more handy.
"Referee, didn't you see what this ugly guy was doing? He almost pulled my pants off!"
"Foul, foul, God, what the hell are your eyes looking at? I almost choked. ”
"Referee! Are you sure you saw it clearly? I didn't do anything, I didn't touch him at all, I didn't even touch his hair! I dare to swear to God, do you dare to ask him?"
Simmons looked helpless: "I don't believe in God!"
Anthony felt like he was about to be driven crazy by Simmons, and every time he got the ball, Simmons would immediately stick to him, and then either pinch his waist or pull his pants. The most insidious thing is that Simmons will rub his balls twice from time to time.
Every time Anthony couldn't stand the harassment and glared angrily, he would see Simmons's honest and somewhat rustic face, and suddenly there was no anger. So Little Melon could only complain to the referee for comfort. As soon as he exerts a little force, Simmons immediately falls to the ground, and the referees seem to like Simmons, who has been fouled on at least three of the five times.
Anthony was unexpectedly pocketed by Simmons, and the Raptors' offense came to a halt with a missing leg. With Anthony restricted, Vince Carter is clearly back to the shackles of previous years, and the Knicks, on their side, took the opportunity to launch a furious attack on the Raptors' half under the leadership of Lamar.
Van Gundy only gave Lamar 10 minutes in the second half, and all he has to do now is to completely release his energy in this short quarter. Outside three-pointers, breakouts, back-to-back singles, and pull-outs, all of Lamar's best plays came out at this moment.
"Lamar, Lamar, Lamar!"
Lamar pulled the ball and shook it past Jeffries, and the Raptors' dominant power forward game was completely scrapped, and he scored a complete defeat in the direct dialogue with Lamar throughout the court. Although after every defeat, he would bravely step up and challenge the superstar of the current league, but the results he got still did not satisfy him.
Montrose rushed forward, but judging by his pace, he seemed to hesitate. In this game, he and Lamar also had the opportunity to face each other directly, and the blow he received was naturally not much less than that of Jeffries, Lamar was basically taking what he wanted in front of him, and this time it was the same, almost without changing the direction and rushing directly past him.
Before the game, Jeffries was a player on the Raptors team who had high hopes from many fans and pundits, and although he could bring fans an exciting performance on the offensive end, his defensive ability was absolutely scum-like. But looking at Jeffries' performance tonight, often Lamar just changed his speed slightly, which would make Jeffries mess up, and before Lamar could test further, he voluntarily fell to the ground and passed away.
Lamar has already rushed into the penalty area at this time, and in front of him is still Anthony and Vince Carter, the absolutely strong forward duo, but their strength can only be shown in the offensive side, standing in the position of defenders, they are two dishes in Lamar's eyes.
"Ahh
Lamar didn't think about dodging at all, and if he dodged at this time, he wouldn't be Lamar Odom, and it was his style to face the difficulties. Without even the slightest hesitation, Lamar began the final preparations for takeoff with the basketball in his hand, and then jumped to his feet.
Enraged, Vince Carter and Little Melon were naturally not to be outdone, and jumped up in unison, raising their arms high to set up a protective net in front of Lamar. It's just that this protective net doesn't look very strong.
"Get out!"
After Lamar yelled, the three of them collided violently in the air, and suddenly the audience at the scene could clearly hear a muffled sound, and the victory and defeat were divided in an instant. Lamar, whose strength has reached the level of perversion, did not dare to stroke his tiger whiskers easily even if he was a big shark in the Lakers, let alone Vince Carter and Anthony.
"Boom!"
The basketball was smashed into the hoop, and the ground was in shambles
"Ahhh
After landing on the ground, Lamar looked up to the sky and roared like crazy, he had been suppressed for too long during this time, and the injury on his little finger made it impossible for him to release it to the fullest. Now that everything is finally back on track, it's time for the entire NBA to tremble again.
The emotions of the Knicks fans at the scene were completely ignited by Lamar's almost crazy performance, and they also yelled as presumptuously as Lamar.
At the start of the fourth quarter, Lamar was not replaced by Van Gundy. At the same time, Billups, Hilario and Battier were also replaced, and the lineup on the court became center: Chris Anderson, power forward: Davis, small forward: Simmons, shooting guard: Devin Wade, point guard: Arenas.
The fans at the scene saw Lamar being hidden by Van Gundy, and although they felt a wave of disappointment, there was basically no suspense in this game. Although there are still more than ten minutes left in the game, there is a gap of nearly 20 points, and if the Raptors want to catch up, it is simply impossible to do so.
Lamar was also happy to take a break, it had been too long since he had played as hard as he did today, he had exerted himself a little too hard in the first three quarters of the game, and his body was now a little tired. It's a good time to take a break and see if Wade can take on the responsibility of leading the Knicks forward while he and Billups aren't on the floor.
Because Lamar and other main players were replaced, the morale of the Raptors has also been slightly boosted, and the situation on the court has also improved a little. But the 19-point gap is not so easy to catch up, not to mention that the Knicks also have a Flash Wade who has performed well recently, and Arenas, the best sixth man general last season. 2k reading web
