Chapter 243: Rivals

"Is it better than you?"

"Of course! This guy has achieved 18+10+2 results in his rookie season, and this year he has improved again, 22+12+2.5! Even if I work hard now, I won't be able to make much progress in offense for a while, I feel that my current skills have almost reached the peak, or I can develop new techniques now! In the future, I can also improve defense, running, and tactical knowledge. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 InfoMaybe when I have more experience, I will be able to give full play to my strength. But Elton is different, he still has a lot of potential, there is a lot of room for improvement, he is improving almost every day, so I want to beat him all the time, even if he really grows up in the future. ”

"You're trying to motivate Elton to grow as quickly as possible so that you can have a rival for yourself. In your heart, you still think that he will be stronger than Tim, Shaq, and even yourself in the future. ”

"That's right!"

Lamar nodded, he did want his opponent to be as strong as possible, because only then would he be satisfied after defeating that opponent.

"Then why don't you want the future alliance to be yours alone, like Wilt Chamberlain. ”

Lamar smiled and said, "Phil, life without opponents is very boring, let me be willful again!"

"Okay! I promise you!"

Phil Jackson had no choice, and perhaps he agreed with Lamar.

When the game started the next night, Clippers fans were surprised to find that the Lakers' starting lineup stood with the last thing they wanted to see, Lamar Odom!

Every time they play against the Lakers, as long as Lamar is on the floor, they lose completely.

The Clippers players also had a look of fear in their eyes, except for Elton, who now feels full of power in his body!

Playing against an opponent like Lamar was also a challenge for Elton, who even forgot that it was a pivotal moment for the team to make the playoffs, and all he could think about was beating Lamar and becoming the first rookie in the class of '99.

In this game, the Lakers sent a new lineup with Lamar as the core, center Chris Anderson, power forward Lamar Odom, small forward Ramon Murray, scoring guard Kobe Bryant, and smash guard Chancey Billups.

The Clippers still fielded their regular forward Olowokandi this season, power forward Elton Brand, small forward Corry Magetti, scoring guard Quentin Richardson, and point guard alien Cassel.

Cassel reached out to Lamar before the start of the game, and he is now mixing well with the Clippers and has taken the position of the main point guard.

It's just that when the two sides met in the first three games, he was either out due to injury, or he hadn't been traded to the Clippers!

"Hey, Lamar, I didn't expect you to play in this game. ”

If it could, Kassel really hoped Lamar could give up the game.

"I'm sorry, Kassel, I'm here today to take a victory. "Even in the face of friends, Lamar doesn't give face at all.

Cassel didn't mind, he knew Lamar's personality very well, and if he wanted Lamar to admit defeat or become a humble gentleman, it would be more difficult than praying for world peace!

"Lamar, don't be too confident, our Brand is not easy to deal with right now, he is holding back his strength to beat you in this match!"

"Him?"

Lamar smiled and said: "He's not my opponent at all, at least now he doesn't pose a threat to me at all, it's a pity, Cassel, I can only say sorry for your playoff dreams, you can rest for a while after this game." ”

"I can't help you!" Cassel said with a wry smile, "Your personality is still the same, smelly and hard." ”

Lamar laughed too!

"If I had changed, I wouldn't be Lamar. ”

The referee was already calling for Anderson and Olovokandi to get ready for the jump ball in halfway and the rest of the group was in position, so Elton naturally came to Lamar's side.

"See you again!"

Lamar didn't even twist his head, just looked at the ball in the referee's hand.

Elton saw that Lamar ignored him and was not angry, so he continued: "I will definitely win this game, and then in the playoffs, I will show you what the Black Eight Miracle is!"

"That's a good idea, but can you do it?"

Lamar replied disdainfully: "The most important thing you should do now is to practice hard and improve your strength, I don't want to play in the future without even a sandbag." ”

"What did you say?"

Just as Elton's eyebrows were raised, ready to get angry, the referee tossed the ball in his hand, and Anderson quickly lifted into the air like a rocket that had been ignited. He jumped a head higher than the nonchalant, 60-centimeter-high Olovocandi, and easily flicked the ball towards Lamar.

Elton saw the ball flying towards him and reached for it, but Lamar was faster than him.

Lamar unloaded his body and made Elton, who was close to him, lose his balance, and he took the opportunity to get the ball in his hands, and seeing that the opponent's defensive formation had not yet been organized, he slapped the ball to the ground and started a fast attack.

Cassel tried to stop Lamar, but before he could get into position, Lamar turned around with a pull ball, and when he turned back, Lamar was already stepping on the three-point line.

Lamar was empty at this point, and he had done the rest countless times this season, jumping up and down in high-speed running, putting the ball on his belly with both hands, and smashing the ball into the basket with two round arms as he approached the basket.

"Boom!"

The loud noise silenced the fans at the scene, and looking at the basketball hoop that was still shaking up and down, people wondered if Lamar's strength had been a little stronger, and the basketball hoop would have collapsed like the one Shaq had destroyed.

"Well done! Lamar!"

Anderson smiled and stretched out his hand: "Your slam dunk level is almost catching up with me." ”

Lamar slapped Anderson the hand!

"I'm at least three blocks stronger than you. ”

At the beginning of the game, Lamar used an earth-shattering slam dunk to tell his opponent that he was here for a victory, and if he wanted a ticket to the playoffs, it was best to speak with his own strength.

The Clippers fans at the scene were obviously very disgusted by Lamar's lack of behavior, and immediately erupted in an astonishing boo! Out of sight, out of mind.

A small fan on the sidelines was even more hilarious, and he played an emotional offensive, holding a big sign that read: "Lamar! It's my birthday, please let our team win and go to the playoffs together." ”

I just don't know what Elton's mood will be when he sees this slogan, and their supporters hope for victory is not in the hard work of their players, but in the hope that their opponents will release water.

It's just that Lamar is destined to disappoint that little fan, and he will only give the victory as a gift to the Los Angeles fans who support him! Lamar doesn't care if other fans' fans can get birthday gifts, and from this point of view, Lamar is indeed cold-blooded enough.

Anderson laughed at the boos and said to Lamar, "Hey, Lamar! ”

Lamar sneered and said, "That's my honor, the more they boo me, the more they are afraid of me, Chris, the person who is optimistic about you, that guy is not easy to deal with." ”

Anderson listened, looked at Olovocandi disdainfully, and said, "You just say that guy? Come on, Lamar! I've never seen a softer guy than him, he's worse than that Joe Smith, pass me one later, I'm going to dunk the ball in his head." ”

Lamar only shook his head when he heard Anderson's words, and he didn't know where this guy's confidence came from! Although Olovokandi is a well-known parallel import, his strength and physical fitness are still there!

Elton missed a shot under Lamar's defense, Anderson grabbed the rebound, and Olovokandi was really not as aggressive, if not a little absent-minded, when it came to fighting for position, as if he was holding something.

When Lamar brought the ball to the scene, Anderson leaned on Olovocandi, opened his hand to ask for the ball, and Lamar immediately clicked the ball in.

I saw Anderson's body hit the back fiercely, and Olovo Kandi flashed, and then the basketball was easily dunked by Anderson.

"See? That guy is a soft egg, I can kill him with one hand. Anderson said smugly.

But Lamar still thinks it's a little incredible, he clearly remembers that Olovocandi still had some strength last season, or he wouldn't have firmly occupied the position of the Clippers' main center!

But why is he so frustrated now?

Ignoring Lamar's crankiness, Cassel on the Clippers' side attacked again and passed to Elton Brand near the free throw line.

Elton took advantage of Olovo Kandi's pick-and-roll, and he quickly bypassed Lamar and singled out Anderson.

After all, Anderson is a little younger, and he is not Elton's opponent at all in terms of strength, and can only watch the opponent dunk the ball into the basket and pay for a foul.

"Don't worry, Chris, be careful not to foul, the game has just begun, we can't live without you. ”

Anderson looked at Lamar and nodded, and secretly dropped his wrist, just when Elton's huge force pressed over, he had a feeling of weakness, and his wrist was still shaken and painful.

Elton hit a free throw to close the gap to just one point, and it seems that his free throw shooting level has also improved somewhat. The Clippers fans at the scene were active again, cheering loudly for the team they were supporting. (To be continued.) )
