Chapter 650

With Lamar's strong performance of a triple-double in the second half, the Knicks defeated the Western Conference powerhouse Dallas Mavericks in Madison, and ushered in a rare victory after Lamar's first comeback win.

Lamar, who spoke to reporters after the game, said only one sentence: "If there were more soft guys like the Dallas in the league, it would be boring." ”

In the victory over the invincible Dallas Mavericks, Lamar responded to the doubts of the outside world with a strong performance on the court, and also allowed the Knicks to set sail again. Just after his comeback, he led the team to two consecutive victories, one of which was the league's powerhouse Dallas Mavericks, and Lamar's personal statistics are historic, which makes Lamar's return even more significant.

During the time of Lamar's departure, the New York Knicks, who had lost their soul player, went 5-5 in ten games, and the ranking fell from the previous first place in the East to the current fourth place in the East.

But now that all is gone, Lamar is back! The return of the team's soul will allow the Knicks to return to the invincible gang that laughed at the league. All the teams will tremble in front of the Knicks like the Dallas Mavericks.

"Knicks Bloodbath Calf!"

"Triple double after the miracle, Lamar continues magically!"

"The Storm Returns! The Knicks Are Back on the Ranks!"

The return of just one person turned the New York Knicks upside down, and any previous unfavorable remarks were all gone without a trace at this moment. The media began to side with the Knicks again, touting them.

In this regard, the Knicks players have been very calm.

During the time Lamar left, they had learned that they were so dependent on Lamar that they didn't know how to play on the pitch after leaving Lamar. Although the strength of the individual is very outstanding, it just can't be pinched into a whole.

In fact, this problem of the Knicks has already begun to emerge last season, Lamar has long discovered this problem, and Van Gundy has also discovered this problem. Now the rest of the Knicks players are aware of the seriousness of the problem.

Lamar is not a superman after all, he can get tired, he can get hurt, and he will make some mistakes that young people often make! Once Lamar is gone, what will they do? Will it still be the same as before?

Feeling the crisis, the Knicks players became more difficult on the court, and Lamar also consciously began to change from a general who led the whole army to a commander who controlled the overall situation. Of course, the road will be very long for the Knicks, accustomed to a style of play, accustomed to dependence on one person, and not so easy to change.

Although the Knicks still have to go through a difficult transition period, because of Lamar's return, they still managed to cause a huge storm in the NBA, and everyone in the middle of it was all affected.

After a home win over the Dallas Mavericks, the Knicks rushed to Detroit to challenge their next big rival, the Pistons.

The Pistons' performance this season continues last season's strong performance. Although the Pistons backcourt, which lost Billups, was a little unstable because of Lamar's butterfly effect, it did not affect their results. After a run-in period with the team's new five Tigers: Ben Wallace, Rasheed Wallace, Tysha Ampruns, Hamilton, and Van Exel, they appeared in front of people in a very strong form.

Especially after Lamar's ban, they took the opportunity to win nine consecutive games along the way, and now they have grabbed the top spot in the East.

But in the face of the Knicks, who regained Lamar, the Pistons still did not dare to be careless. The Pistons started the game with a defensive posture as Larry Brown asked, determined to dry all the Knicks' flesh and blood at home and defend those games.

Faced with the Pistons' retrenched defense, the Knicks didn't have much to do at first. After a full quarter, the score was temporarily fixed at 25:24, with the Pistons leading by one point.

But as soon as the game came up in the second quarter, the form on the court changed abruptly, and the Pistons' style of play pushed Lamar's anger directly to the critical point. At this point, the New York bandit finally broke out, and he bombarded the Pistons' basket like a daredevils covered in explosives.

Relying on Lamar's unreasonable outburst, the Knicks played a wave of 11:4 in just three minutes, overtaking the score in one fell swoop.

Seeing that the advantage is not guaranteed, there is no second way except failure in this way, and the Pistons who were provoked by Lamar to bloody also began a Jedi counterattack.

Led by Roaring Celestial Rashid Wallace, the Pistons blossomed more and quickly recovered the lost points during Lamar's break, re-importing the game into a scorching state.

But with Lamar, who had turned on attack mode, back on the court, the game was once again taken over by the New York gang, and the balance of victory gradually began to tilt in favor of the Knicks.

Although the Pistons fought back in the final moments of the game and once narrowed the gap to 1 point, Lamar and Alan Houston hit four three-pointers in quick succession at key moments, completely shattering the Pistons' plan to turn the tables.

The 11-point gap allowed the New York Knicks to win three straight games in back-to-back games and move themselves up one spot to third place in the East.

Successive victories over strong opponents have completely restored the confidence of the Knicks, and their next opponent will be the league leader led by OK - the Los Angeles Lakers!

Before this game, the league began to hype the feud between Lamar and Kobe, and Shaq and Lamar's brother duel.

With the Knicks playing strongly this season, the league seems to have found a team that can compete with the Los Angeles Lakers. The Los Angeles Lakers have been too strong in recent years, and that's not what the league wants to see. Only the division of the group is the most conducive to the situation of the alliance, and the alliance does not want to see it.

Now the Knicks in the East and the Lakers in the West have obviously become the biggest signboards in the league, and the collision between them has naturally attracted a lot of attention.

In this game, the duel between Lamar and Shaq made the fans a little disappointed, and the key is that Shaq is starting to be lazy again! Perhaps there are some unknown factors mixed in this, such as the increasingly serious conflict between Shaq and Kobe.

However, the matchup between Lamar and Kobe Bryant did not disappoint, and the two played fiercely in the game. In the first quarter alone, Kobe Bryant scored 15 points on inside and outside shooting, compared to Kobe's dominance in scoring, Lamar's 7 points, 5 rebounds and 64 assists are relatively comprehensive.

Overall, the performance of the two in the first quarter was equal, but after the main team played a few minutes in the second quarter, the gap between the two sides in bench strength began to appear.

The Knicks, who have a thicker bench depth, quickly established a lead under the leadership of General Arenas after the rotation of the lineup, compared to the Lakers' luxury starters who looked a little clumsy at this time.

By the time Lamar and Kobe, the protagonists of the game, returned to the court after the break, the gap between the two sides had widened to 13 points.

Kobe Bryant looked at the electronic scoreboard with an unwilling look in his eyes, the team's defeat was basically irretrievable, and the rest was the battle between him and Lamar.

Lamar sensed the war signal from Kobe Bryant and responded immediately after knowing that his team was on the safe side. Lamar, who fully turned on his scoring mode, hit two ultra-long-distance three-pointers in a row, and effectively responded to Kobe's challenge, which also widened the difference between the two sides to 16 points in one fell swoop.

The big picture was decided, and Shaq sat on the bench early to chat and fart, watching him and his teammates laugh happily and didn't seem to care about the outcome of the game at all. But Kobe Bryant had a serious face, gritted his teeth and was unwilling to give up the game.

As long as the red light symbolizing the end of the game has not been lit, the stubborn Kobe Bryant will still have to fight, even if the team still can't escape defeat in the end, at least he will take Lamar.

But Lamar, who has already turned on the scoring mode, is not so easy to deal with, and the two of you, one and the other, do not give in to each other! The basketball is as if it has been equipped with a precision-guided missile, and it is hard to drill into the basket.

One is crazy today, the other is the most domineering today, and two of the NBA's biggest names in the East and West have once again taken over the game. The fans at the Staples Center were dazzled by the sight, their eyes wide open, for fear of missing a single shot.

In fact, they know very well that compared with the Knicks, who are a harmonious and tacit team in the team, the Lakers, who are now full of contradictions, really have nothing else to do except for Kobe, Shaq, and Kurt Thomas. It seems that the Lakers' rebuilding is also imperative!

Until the end of the game, Lamar and Kobe Bryant's battle was still tied, and the two sides ended up in a winless situation.

But looking at the bright red score on the electronic scoreboard on the scene, Kobe Bryant only felt a burst of dazzling, and when the game was over, he walked lonely to the players' tunnel.

Lamar looked at Kobe's back, there was no schadenfreude, some were actually a kind of heroic feelings, and of course, he felt a sense of desolation for the OK combination who were about to part ways.

Lamar couldn't help but think back to the time he was traded by the Lakers in his previous life. Of course, Lamar at that time was far from his current achievements, but he was also the mainstay of the Lakers' 2 consecutive championships. But after a long offseason, in order to get Chris Paul, his little chess piece was traded by the Lakers management, and what is even more excessive is that as the best sixth man last season, he is only worth a second-round pick!
