Lamar is fine, but the two offenses just now have exposed other aspects of the Knicks' problems.

The first is the run-in problem between teams, which if not solved as soon as possible, is likely to affect the Knicks' results throughout the season. The second is the form of the players, as you can see from the pre-season, the players are not yet in the best form.

Van Gundy shook his head from the sidelines, and he also knew that for the likes of Prince and Mourning, who had joined the team, he was too anxious to use. Prince is clearly not yet out of the Pistons' playbook.

"Whew!", Reed scored again. It was his third three-pointer of the game, and with two of the technical foul free throws, he had already scored 11 points in the first quarter.

Annoyed, Van Gundy turned back to the bench with his head in his hands, sat down as if he was sulking, and began to unconsciously touch his pockets with both hands. Those who are familiar with him know that Van Gundy's heart is already a little panicked at this time.

The Knicks players on the court didn't know what was wrong, as if the cold touch would be contagious, and the frequency of striking iron was getting higher and higher.

On the other hand, on the Bucks' side, Reed is as powerful as a god-possessed body, even if Wade has sealed his hand in his face, Reed can still throw the ball in.

The Knicks' six-point lead at the beginning of the game was gone, and they were overtaken by the Milwaukee Bucks by one point.

With less than thirty seconds left before the end of the first quarter, the score was 19:20.

Neither side was very efficient, especially Lamar. He played mediocre today, hitting just four of his eight shots in the first quarter. This kind of efficiency can be called efficient if it is put on other people, but for Lamar, it can only be called an aberration.

The Knicks had their last offensive chance of the first half, when Mourning, who came on as a substitute for Dampoter, sent the ball directly to Lamar.

Now that the Knicks are missing Hilario and Chris Anderson's role is relatively single, Van Gundy has to rotate Lamar and Damppoter to rest.

Damport played tough in the first quarter, scoring four points, five rebounds and two blocks in just seven minutes of playing time, but the Haitians also paid a lot of price for this.

Coming off the bench, Mourning clearly hasn't fully adapted to the Knicks' tactics, and on several occasions Lamar has passed the ball after attracting the pack, but he missed the chance to score because he was half a beat slow to react, and finally had to pass the ball.

Lamar didn't have time to think about those things right now, and he sensed that he wasn't in a good shape today. The after-effects of not competing for too long began to appear.

Before the start of this season, the Knicks had too many veteran players leaving, and the cooperation between the players was much stranger than before. Lamar is clearly not back to his best yet, and he naturally took fewer shots in the first quarter.

The last shot was handled carefully by Lamar.

Standing in front of Lamar to defend is still Villanueva, and it seems that Lamar is in a bit bad state tonight, and all of a sudden the hairless hero's confidence has increased greatly, and the defense is more handy.

"Lamar, aren't you very strong!" Villanueva said a little proudly, exuding a strong confidence.

Lamar looked over with a cold look in his eyes, and saw that Villanueva's defense was really similar. However, in his eyes, he is still full of holes, of course, he can directly break through the slam dunk, but in order to respond to the opponent's arrogance, with only four seconds left in the offensive time, Lamar jumped directly in front of Villanueva.

Lamar was too impulsive, he should have known that he wasn't in good shape today, he should have chosen to break through, but 。。。。。。 Bill Wharton was on the bench worrying about Lamar, but he stopped abruptly in the middle of his sentence, followed by a burst of exclamations, "Oh God! I'm going to take back what I just said and apologize to Lamar, this guy is a madman." ”

"That's right, I forgot that this guy is a madman! there's nothing in this world that he can't do. Haha, I think that hairless guy should know how good Lamar is by now. ”

"Haha! Thank you Lamar for a great shot for us. Looking at Villanueva's face, I admit that he really almost stopped just now, his reaction was not slow, but it was still a little worse. Hey, don't be discouraged, boy, you just picked the wrong opponent today. ”

Lamar was also thrilled after his goal. He did take some risks with that ball just now, and if it had been placed before, he wouldn't have been in such a mood.

Hitting a mid-range jumper in the past was simply too easy for Lamar. It's just that he wasn't in good shape today, and the ball was thrown by Lamar with a desperate face. Fortunately, in the end, the goal was scored, and he not only shot back at Reid, but also brought back Lamar's lost confidence.

Lamar, who reached the halfway point, also swung his fist sharply and clapped his hands to remind his teammates to pay attention to the opponent's attack.

With three seconds left in the first quarter, the Knicks outscored the Bucks by two points with Lamar's three-pointer.

Despite being teased by Bill Walton, Villanueva didn't seem to care at all. At this point, the hairless hero has completely fallen into the illusion of his own making, and he thinks that it was just Lamar stepping on.

Before the ball could be passed, Reed had already accelerated towards the Knicks' half.

After receiving Villanueva's pass, Mo Williams threw it straight forward.

The moment Reed received the ball, the time of the game had reached the last 1 second.

Under Wade's pressure, Reed threw the ball almost sideways to the basket.

At the same time as the basketball shot, the red light of the first quarter of the game came on. The fans at the scene craned their necks to watch, and for some reason, everyone including Lamar had a strange feeling that this basketball that was thrown out indiscriminately might really go in.

As if to test people's guesses, the basketball actually rolled into the basket slowly after jumping twice on the basket.

Whistle Ball!

22：23！

The Milwaukee Bucks took the lead again in the final moments.

"Damn!" Van Gundy angrily threw the tactical board on the ground, holding his head in his hands, not knowing what he was thinking.

The fans in attendance were also clearly unhappy with the team's performance in the first quarter, with some even booing Prince and Mourning.

In the past, against such an opponent, the Knicks could win by a few tens of points every time. Today, the first quarter of the game has passed, and the Knicks are still in a backward position, which makes fans dissatisfied and puzzling at the same time.

What's wrong with Knicks? People are full of questions.

During the break, Van Gundy began to rant at his players, trying to rejuvenate his players in this way, but it didn't seem to work very well.

In order to move back to the score as soon as possible, at the beginning of the second quarter, Lamar and Wade, the two main players, were once again left on the court.

The point guard position was replaced by Cassel in place of Billups.

"The Knicks were so careless in today's game, they left Reed too much room to move around and gave the shooter a lot of opportunities to perform. But I don't think it's too much of a problem, the difference in strength between the Knicks and the Bucks is not something that can be changed by a single shooter. The momentum of this game is still on the Knicks' side, and I think Lamar and they will be able to figure out a solution soon. ”

At the start of the second quarter, the situation on the court was not immediately turned around as Bill Wharton said.

As if specifically designed to prove that salted fish can turn over like people, Reed's shooting has always been at a high level.

Reed dribbled the ball to 2 meters from the three-point line before he suddenly rose to the ground and made another long-range shot. The unsuspecting Wade could only make a turn of the round and watch the basketball go into the net.

"Oh my God, he's crazy today!" Van Gundy looked at Reid as he fell back into his half, and his heart fluttered in surprise.

I also know a lot about Reed, the player Van Gundy, but I have never found that Reid is so powerful.

Lamar's expression also became much more solemn at the moment, and he knew that he had to contain Reed, and he had to control his three-point shot. Otherwise, this game will be really dangerous.

For an excellent shooter, once he is allowed to throw well, it is simply more terrible than a cruise missile.

The Knicks' offense came to Mourning after a few passes of basketball.

Lamar used his running position to shake off Villanueva to the basket and then scored on a layup with a hand-to-hand pass with Mourning.

But soon Reed once again undid the Knicks' efforts.

Reed's three-point shot today was like crazy. This time he once again completely ignored Wade's defense, as well as Lamar's assist, and hit again. And at the same time, he also caused Wade's foul and got a free throw opportunity.

"Huh!"

The free throw was hit, and the score on the court had become 24:30 at this moment, and the Knicks trailed the Bucks by six points.

Van Gundy couldn't take it anymore and called a timeout again. He hoped that this would cool Reed's hot hand for a while, and Van Gundy also made Battier and Wade swap defenders, hoping that such an arrangement could curb Reid's play.

The Knicks attacked, Battier missed a three-point shot from the outside, and Mourning grabbed the rebound and scored the ball directly under the basket, 26:30.

In turn, the Bucks' offense was still in Reed's hands, and Battier pounced almost immediately, and Wade and Lamar were also not far away, ready to help defend at any time.
