However, Lamar knew from Kobe's iron-blue face that this poisonous snake must be in a very unhappy mood now. Not only did the Lakers lose the game tonight, but more importantly, he probably had a lot of responsibility for the loss. Kobe Bryant must have been bombarded by reporters just now, and the topic around him must have been the inexplicable break.

As soon as Lamar and the others sat down, the reporters immediately changed the target of the bombing to the winner of the game.

The process of this game was very exciting, and the battle between the two superstars, Lamar and Kobe, also stirred up a lot of sparks, but the result was even more tortuous and bizarre.

The Lakers, who had won the game, unexpectedly lost because of a veteran who had been ignored for a long time, which really makes people sigh that fate made people.

Before the game, people did think that the Lakers, who had the home court advantage, would lose, but they thought that the Knicks' winning figure was Lamar and Billups, but they never expected that it was Mark Jackson who finally decided the game.

"Mark, are you excited to be the hero of this game, what do you think about the rest of the game, do you think you should take more responsibility for today's performance, instead of sitting on the bench and waiting for your chance, like you did before the last twelve seconds of the game!"

It was a reporter from a local media outlet in Los Angeles who stood up to ask questions, and the team he supported was naturally unhappy when they lost the game. So when this guy asks questions, it is inevitable that he will mix in a little topic of sowing discord.

But who is Mark Jackson? That's an old man who has been in the NBA for more than ten years, what kind of formation he hasn't seen? Not to mention this little trick, even if he is tricky, he can easily deal with it.

"I said I'm not a hero!" After the excitement, Mark Jackson regained his usual calm and composure: "I won this game because of the team's efforts! I just did what a Knicks player should do." It's every player's responsibility to help the team win, and I'm no exception. ”

"As for the team's next games, I certainly hope that the Knicks can keep winning. For me personally, I'm going to obey Coach Van Gundy, he's the head coach of the team! Everyone has a role to play in his heart, and I believe that since Coach Van Gundy chose to sign a contract with me, it proves that I have a role to play for the Knicks. ”

"And do you think that at my age, I can still play forty minutes a game like Lamar? If you have to ask, I can tell you that I am only interested in the opportunities that come my way!"

Mark Jackson's wise answer also made Van Gundy's brows that had been furrowed by the reporter's question gradually relaxed. Looking at Mark Jackson and then looking at Lamar, he can't help but sigh, compared with Mark Jackson, Lamar, who has already sat on the Knicks' leadership throne, is still a little too tender!(In fact, Lamar feels very wronged, he doesn't lose to Mark Jackson at all in terms of experience, but the experience of his previous life makes him feel deeply disgusted by reporters, and every time he sees these guys, he can't stay calm!)

Obviously, Mark Jackson's unequivocal answer did not satisfy the reporters, and people also knew that it was not easy to get something of value out of the mouth of this old fritter. Therefore, more people still focused on Lamar, who was more likely to break the news.

"Lamar, Mark's appearance decided the victory of this game, do you think it would be better to partner with him to form an inside and outside combination?"

When Lamar heard this, he just wanted to rush down and give the dazed reporter a left hook. Mark Jackson only appeared for a dozen seconds, and although there were a few conversations between the two men, most of them were full of surprises.

Whether it was Lamar's assist for Mark Jackson's equaliser, or Hardaway's reciprocal assist for Lamar's comeback victory. Speaking of which, there is an element of luck in it. If it's all called an inside and outside connection, then what is his five-season alongside Billups team?

"I don't agree with you! It's a stupid question to me. I'm afraid that only a simple head like yours would whimsically say such a stupid thing. As soon as Lamar opened his mouth, he scolded the reporter severely, making the reporter who was still beaming just now blush.

The reporter just wanted to fight back a few words, but was stuffed back by Lamar's next words.

"Shut up! Don't forget that you only have the right to speak once and ask questions. All I can tell you about that stupid question you just now is: every Knicks player has their own responsibilities, and I am the same, and so is Annifen, no one is any different, and no one is superior!"

"The value of every Knicks player is to help the team win, and I think Aniefen made it very clear. Whether it's him, Chauncey, or whoever it is, he's a very good player. It's a privilege to play with them!"

Seeing Lamar's non-cooperation, the atmosphere at the scene became a little awkward.

In desperation, the mouthpiece of the alliance, the media, stood up and routinely asked a question. His question was thrown directly at Lamar and Kobe, and all he cared about was what to think of the next game.

'It's really frustrating that we lost the game, but that's the way it is. Even though we played very hard, it was clearly not what we expected. ”

"I hate Lamar as much as I am, but you can't deny that he's a great player. He's really tough on the pitch and, of course, Mark, I'll admit we all underestimated his presence and we were punished as a result. But I don't think we're going to be like this for the rest of the game, and I still believe in our own strength. Although we lost this game, the championship will still be ours!"

Losing the game made Kobe a little unmotivated, and he also had some coping when answering reporters' questions. However, the reluctance in his eyes still showed his true thoughts.

Although the Lakers' final loss in this game was not all Kobe's responsibility, the paranoid Black Mamba still couldn't forgive himself for the mistake that ruined the team's victory at a critical moment. I believe that this poisonous snake will give people a satisfactory answer in the next game.

Compared with the forbearant Kobe, Lamar is much more confident.

Through this game, Lamar has seen the weakness of the Lakers, that is, the bench is not strong enough.

In this game, since O'Neal was sent off, the Lakers' originally airtight interior defense has become a paper tiger!

After O'Neal got off the court, the Knicks consciously began to attack the Lakers' interior line, which achieved unexpected results, basically blowing up the Lakers' entire interior line. While Karl Malone also scored 23 points, on the defensive end, he basically disappeared.

Whether it's defending Lamar or supplementing Dampot, Malone's performance can only be described as clumsy.

Another inside jackpot, Scola, is not to be worried, the fierce player who left the Knicks was originally a player who was strong on offense and weak on defense. As long as you know enough about him and are always on the lookout for his small movements, Scola's defense is actually a sieve.

"I don't think the Lakers have a championship booked. The only thing they can do now is to try their best to win! I can't think of anything else they can do. ”

"The Lakers are stronger? Unfortunately, I didn't find that in this game. On the contrary, I still have more confidence in my team! As for the next game, I think it would be a good idea to win the O'Brien Cup in Madison in Game 4!"

Lamar's words made the reporters present let out a neat exclamation.

Lamar actually made such a bold statement when the Finals had just ended, and the reporters present immediately became excited.

It's just that tomorrow, the newspapers and television news will definitely criticize Lamar's arrogance, and it is estimated that there will be no one else who supports his remarks except the local media in New York.

In Los Angeles, Lamar's rhetoric would not have taken up much of the market, but in New York the situation is different.

Back in New York, the Knicks were warmly welcomed by all the fans, and while they received the same heroic treatment last season, they ended up tasting the bitter fruit of defeat last time. This time they believe that they will be the one who will win in the end.

Of course, there is more than one piece of news that makes them happy.

The injury reports of Billups and Grant Hill, who were injured in the first game, came out, and Van Gundy finally breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at the report.

Neither of them was seriously injured, and Hill was a little more troublesome, probably with a week's rest. Billups is not a big problem, and he can basically come back in the next game.

Fortunately, Billups can return in time, otherwise when the next game starts, the Knicks will have to put Lamar at point guard.

As for Arenas, after two back-to-back brainstorms in the regular season and playoffs, the General has largely lost Van Gundy's trust. If you push him into the starting position now, it will definitely be the Knicks who will suffer in the end.

Billups' injury had left Van Gundy with some doubts about the team's future for the next game, but now with the good news from the team doctors, those last doubts have been dispelled. On the contrary, Van Gundy is now more confident that the Knicks will win a championship.

Although the Knicks have already taken the Los Angeles Lakers off at the Staples Center, most people think it's a fluke from the Knicks. They believe that if it weren't for Kobe's inexplicable mistake in the final moments, if it weren't for Mark Jackson's last flash of inspiration, if it weren't for Lamar's last magical left hand, the victory in that game would have belonged to the Lakers.
