'We believe in our team and we believe in our players. They're not going to let us down! The Knicks are strong, but didn't we just eliminate them last season? So I'm sure the result will be the same this year, and the Knicks will still fall in our way!"

In a street interview, a New Jersey fan spoke up to all Nets fans. They know how strong the Knicks are, but they are even more convinced that their team will not let them down because New York is not invincible.

From the day he learned that the Knicks would meet the Nets in the second round of the playoffs, Lamar locked himself in a training gym and practiced day and night.

If it weren't for the fact that Vanessa, who was standing silently behind him, and Leon, who was now his most important son, Lamar wouldn't even want to step out of the training gym.

Sweep New Jersey Nets!Sweep New Jersey Nets!Sweep New Jersey Nets!Sweep New Jersey Nets!

Now Lamar's mind is completely filled with this sentence, but he has never forgotten the Nets' shame of bringing him and the Knicks last season.

"I won't let you down again!"

This phrase often rings in Lamar's ears, and the one he wants most to get revenge on is the New Jersey Nets. If possible, he would even like to fulfill his vow last season on the stage of the Grand Finals.

It's a pity that the two teams that belong to the same east make it difficult for Lamar to have such an opportunity. But even so, it was enough to surprise him by meeting the Nets in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

"I'm not going to just let you go! you've got to pay for what happened last season!"

Lamar is still ashamed of Kenyon Martin for provoking himself and then hurting himself and his teammates in the Eastern Conference Finals last year for victory, and the idea of revenge has never been put down.

Facing the empty training hall, Lamar's gaze was unusually cold. In his eyes, at this time, he seemed to be standing in front of Jason Kidd, Richard Jefferson, and Kenyon Martin, the three best players on the Nets today.

Go to hell!

Lamar's heart shouted and suddenly activated, as if in a real game, his mind sketched out the movements of each of them, continuous disguise, cross-step, crotch dribble, back pull pass, and then kill under the basket and jump up.

"Boom!"

The night before the first game of the Eastern Conference semifinals of the playoffs, the New Jersey Nets' training hall was still brightly lit, with bursts of thumping from time to time.

The security guard outside the training hall glanced inside with some disdain, pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice: "What did you do earlier? I don't usually see you working so hard, but now that I think about training, I still have to accompany you here!"

The security guard couldn't help but think of the situation when the bigwigs of those teams were late for training and left early every day, and often before the training was over, all the people here ran out. Especially the boss of the Nets, Kidd, has become commonplace to end training early every day and go clubbing.

The thought of this black security guard made him even more unhappy, and he kicked the garbage can not far from him.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

There was a commotion outside the quiet training hall, but it did not affect the training enthusiasm of the people inside.

There was another day before the day of war, and they didn't know that there was no point in trying so hard at this point. It's just that if they really give up before the game starts like those people outside, they won't be reconciled.

Kidd's time with the Nets is a bit short, and he's had success before that, but none of them have achieved as much in his time with the Nets!

Kidd once had a similar trident with the Dallas Mavericks, and led the Mavericks to the playoffs for many years in a row, but unfortunately they all came home.

Especially in the last two years of the Mavericks, I don't know if I really have a bad character or what? The situation of the Dallas Mavericks is getting worse every year, for a bar girl, he also broke with his former brother Jackson, and the final trident was traded by Mark Cuban one after another.

Kidd then moved to the Phoenix Suns, but he no longer had a grudge in Dallas.

It wasn't until he came to the New Jersey Nets last season that Kidd regained his former self-confidence and made a qualitative leap! The Nets' results also made a leap forward after he joined, and even reached the Finals last year.

"Boom!"

Kidd suddenly picked up the speed of his feet, rushed straight to the basket, smashed the ball into the basket against Jefferson, and felt a pain in his arm when he landed.

Since joining the Nets, Kidd has rarely done anything like this. So much so that many people are saying that Kidd is old, can't jump, and can only play with experience.

Kidd knows that he is not old enough to be 30 years old, but he has experienced more and matured! In recent years, Kidd's mentality has also changed year by year.

In the past, when Kidd was still on the Mavericks, he used to fight with his teammates for a woman, and when he was on the Suns, he also beat Sean Marion to the blood for some trivial words, and even when he first came to the Nets, his temper was not much better, and head coach Scott was yelled at by him!

It's just that with the precipitation of time, Kidd's mentality is becoming more and more peaceful. When on the field, no matter how provocative the opponent is, he can always maintain a calm mentality.

This allowed Kidd's stats this season not to decline due to age, but to become more and more comprehensive, and even beat Nash and Payton and other top guards in the league to be selected to the league's All-NBA First Team.

Looking back at Kenyon Martin, who was practicing near the free throw line, a hint of confusion flashed in Kidd's eyes: "Kenyon, what do you think of how it feels to go from a superhero to a villain in people's eyes?"

Kenyon Martin was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "I don't know! Those titles were given to me by others, I just want to play well." No one knows what the outcome of the game will look like until it's over!"

Although Kenyon Martin said this, his heart was not comfortable.

At the beginning, you were the champion of the first league in the new century, and his strength was superior to the entire rookie of the class of 2000 - the best rookie. Even a power forward like Elton Brand, the 1999 No. 1 pick, couldn't get a good deal out of Martin's defense. In his rookie season, he led the team to the finals.

But such a dazzling achievement, but it is overshadowed in front of one person! To put it mildly, you can't even take it!

Facing Lamar, Kenyon Martin didn't want to lose, he didn't want to lose at all!

Kenyon Martin now feels the gap between himself and Lamar, but he doesn't want to just give in, he's still young, he's still physically perfect, and he's still able to get those violent, domineering slam dunks.

But Young Martin doesn't want to be a supporting actor for Lamar, he doesn't want to get nothing until the end of his career, he doesn't want to be a superstar like Barkley, but he doesn't have the corresponding accolades. As a champion, he also has his own pride!

Kenyon Martin knows very well that no one else is optimistic about the prospects of the New Jersey Nets except New Jersey fans, especially when Lamar and the Knicks are still dressed in a veneer of revenge, and these Nets guys are naturally regarded as villains and are not very popular.

Kidd stepped back to the perimeter, picked up a basketball, and threw it away.

Watching the basketball pop out of the frame, Kidd frowned: "I remember my father told me that even if everyone in the world gives up on you, you can't give up on yourself!

As he spoke, Kidd picked up another basketball, aimed a little and threw it, "Wow!" and went into the net.

Kenyon Martin also smiled, and also threw the ball in his hand, and also scored, the two looked at each other and smiled, and their confidence was a little more!

Richard Jefferson, who was next to him, had been slowly dribbling the ball, and he wasn't very interested in the conversation between the two cores of the team.

Although Jefferson is nominally one of the tridents, his position on the team is no better than that of other role players.

Now everyone in the league knows that the Nets' so-called trident is the most nominal of all the star combinations in the entire league.

Among the three, except for Kidd, who can be called a superstar in the league, the other two are not superstars in terms of strength or fame, although they have excellent statistics.

Because of his fame and age, Jefferson naturally has the least status among the Big Three. Most of the time he can do some support work on the court, and even have to compete with the blue collar workers in the team, much to the displeasure of the proud Jefferson.

Facing the Knicks in the semifinals, Jefferson felt it was a good opportunity to prove his quality to the team. Although he can't compete with the team's two big men in attack, he is still very confident in the defensive skills he has honed in the team over the years.

And head coach Byron Scott has already said that he will give him the task of defending the team's perimeter, and he also wants to take this opportunity to make a name for himself. So when Kidd proposed to come to practice today, his main practice was defense, and both Kidd and Kenyon Martin became his opponents.

"Richard, what do you think?" Seeing that Jefferson didn't speak for a long time, Kidd suddenly asked.

Jefferson was stunned for a moment, and said thoughtfully: "I don't have any ideas, I just don't want to miss the opportunity again." If we can't step on the Knicks' corpse to enter the Eastern Conference Finals this time, I'm afraid we will become the laughing stock of the whole league!"

Jefferson's words made Kidd and Kenyon Martin's faces become solemn. They all knew the oath Lamar had made to the media after sweeping the Orlando Magic.
