Chapter 1137
At least leave yourself something to remember!
Lamar's slap in the face woke everyone up at once. Looking at Lamar who turned away, everyone in the Knicks slowly changed from confusion to determination.
In the second half, the game was completely taken over by the Knicks.
Orlando has not always been a strong team, SF3 is old, and now it can only survive by eating its old book. Turkoglu needs to have strong teammates around him to play to his strength, but it's clear that the Orlando Magic don't have that kind of conditions.
Catch up, overtake! Everything is going very smoothly.
When the Orlando Magic woke up from the Knicks' bombardment and wanted to fight back, the rhythm of the game had been firmly grasped by the Knicks.
The Orlando Magic, led by Francis, only resisted a little, and then tragically announced the fate of defeat.
It's all over! The Knicks continued to solidify their win, and the record from the Chicago Bulls was gradually shortened.
In the next few games, whether home or away, Lamar will be with the team. With him supervising on the sidelines, the Knicks players on the court also performed very hard.
Especially after Anderson came back, the Knicks even gave up the flashy style of the past in order to win, relying on defense and opponents, and they did receive good results.
Although every game had to be a tough battle, fortunately, the Knicks won all these games in the end, and continued to surpass the Red Bulls dynasty.
Of course, the Knicks, who are missing Lamar, Dampoter, and Hilario, the core of the three-dozen interior line, can get to this point, thanks to the league's schedule. Because most of the games they have encountered in the next few games are some weak teams.
After a two-week truce, Lamar is finally back.
Although the doctor suggested that Lamar should rest for a while, Lamar refused.
The days without games were too difficult for Lamar! Every game was like squatting in the class room, and Lamar had endless strength all over his body, but he could only hold back. But now Lamar is back in the familiar ring.
Out of the responsibility for Lamar's body, Coach K still didn't take the liberty of putting him in the starting list. Lamar doesn't have a problem with that, after all, the regular season has entered the final stage, and they are now locked in the top spot in the league, so there is no need to fight hard in these inconsequential games.
As long as the victory is assured, Lamar is happy to rest off the field.
Finally, the regular season has come to an end, and a new challenge is in front of Lamar.
After Lamar returned from injury, the New York Knicks can be said to be unbeatable and proud in the NBA. There's no point in arguing now about whether they can break the Chicago Bulls' best regular-season record of 72-10.
The regular season has come to a close, and the teams that still have some expectations for the playoffs have also started their final run. As for the teams that have already set their sights on this summer's draft, they continue their mess.
I have to say that the Knicks are very lucky, after the regular season entered the closing stage, most of the opponents they encountered were some sad teams that did not seek a win, but only wanted a bad team, and it was natural to win.
The regular season entered the final round, and the Knicks finally met an opponent who was still a bit challenging, the Indiana Pacers.
The Indiana Pacers are now eighth in the East, but the ninth-placed Milwaukee Bucks are only half a win away from them, and they could be overtaken at any time.
And in terms of the win-loss relationship between the two sides, the Bucks have a record of three wins and one loss in four games against the Pacers this season. In other words, as long as the Pacers lose the last game and Milwaukee has more than one win and one loss in the last two games, the Pacers will be overtaken by the Bucks.
The good news is that the Washington Wizards, who are currently in seventh place in the East, are also in a similar situation to the Pacers, who are also separated by half a court between the Pacers. If they don't want to be empty in the last minute, they will have to win against their arch-rival Detroit Pistons on the road.
Playing away from home, plus the opponent is the Detroit Pistons, a veteran powerhouse in the league led by the roaring Tianzun. Although the Pistons have begun to fall lonely, the heritage is still there, and they can still occupy a place in the east by relying on the old capital accumulated in the past few years.
It seems that all signs are moving in favor of the Pacers. But one point is less optimistic, as the Pacers' final game is against the New York Knicks, who have the best record in the league.
And the game was also played on the road, and the Knicks are now working hard to create the best record in the league's history.
The Knicks now have a 75-6 record, which is already a Chicago Bulls record, but who would dismiss their record being even more glorious.
In addition, there is another thing that people don't know about this match, and that is the redemption battle of Trevo Ariza.
For this little-known second-round rookie, I'm afraid that even the most die-hard Knicks fans don't know that there is such a person in the team.
Throughout the regular season, except for the occasional appearance in garbage time in the first half of the season and a few minutes on the court, fans have not found him on the court since the All-Star Game.
Some fans even thought that he had been abandoned by the team a long time ago. After all, a person who can't even squeeze into the bench is naturally limited in strength. And even in those games he played, there didn't seem to be any amazing performances that would make the fans shine.
Such a player is naturally not worthy of the Knicks jersey, and gradually fans will lose interest in Ariza, even if he is Lamar's favorite, he is slowly forgotten by the fans.
But others can forget him, but Ariza herself can't. He still has dreams for the NBA, and he still has hopes for his future.
So for the original bet with Lamar, Ariza kept it in mind all the time, and didn't dare to forget it for a moment. For him, this game is the last chance, whether he can stay, whether he can prove his value to everyone on the field, it depends on this game.
Lamar did give Ariza a chance, and after communicating with Coach K, Ariza unexpectedly appeared on the Knicks' roster. It's just that I don't know how many people's memories this name can evoke.
Being named to the game's squad doesn't mean Ariza is the Knicks' starter.
In his opinion, the regular season is already the last game, and the Knicks not only sit firmly on the first place in the league, but also create NBA history with a 75-6 record, and this last game should be used for training. Since it doesn't matter how much practice it is, it should be a sure thing that he replaces Battier or Prince as the team's starting small forward.
So when Ariza heard that his name was not included in the team's main list, he was immediately furious. He rushed in front of Lamar in a few steps and roared loudly.
"What do you mean? Why don't you let me play? Don't you say you're going to give me another chance? Bastard! You lied to me, you lied to me! You're just trying to get me out, bastard! Are you scared? You're afraid I'm going to take everything from you? Don't deny it, that's what you mean!"
Ariza's inexplicable roar made everyone present freeze, and their eyes were focused on him.
Lamar wanted to get angry, and he wanted to punch the bastard back into his mother's womb to see how he was born, but Ewing showed up just in time to ruin his big plan to study human physiology.
"You idiot, are you dazed?" Ewing was also mad at this guy's stupidity, and came up with a throat lock, grabbed him by the neck, and pushed him against the wall: "What do you think this is? Even if Lamar agrees to you, do you think you can really get into the starting lineup of the game with your poor strength?"
"But if I can't play, how can I prove my strength?" Ariza waved his hand unconvinced, and continued to loudly express his displeasure: "Damn!
Ewing was almost mad, and it was clear that Ariza had now turned into a mad dog, catching and biting whomever he wanted. It is estimated that he is now regretting why he had a hot head in the first place to intercede for this guy in front of Lamar.
"Wait patiently, you'll be playing in this game. But the first thing you have to do is to be observant and observe the movement and game habits of your teammates around you. I can tell you right now that you're going to give you minutes in this game, and it's up to you whether or not you can stay in the end. ”
Lamar stood up and left the locker room, he really didn't want to talk to this bastard anymore.
Thinking about Ariza's appearance and how he has performed this year, Lamar has to admit that this time he has lost his eyes. Ariza's success in his previous life was inseparable from the trials of the previous years. The current Ariza is obviously immature, both technically and mentally.
And because he was handpicked by his own NBA golden eye, Ariza was obviously a little flustered, thinking that since he could be favored by Lamar, his talent was definitely very good. It's a pity that he forgot that the NBA has never lacked super-talented players, but there are not many who can successfully establish themselves in the NBA. Talent is not equal to strength, if you want to cash in on your talent, it is not okay to complain about others, what you need is your own efforts! 2k reading web
