When Lamar first joined the Knicks, Alan Houston was indeed the core of the team. Apex is the fastest update, and this guy stood up at the first time in order to defend his position, but it has been so long since that incident, and at that time he and Alan Houston had a gentleman's agreement, and if he wants to seize the position of the boss, Alan Houston can challenge at any time.

Especially after the cooperation of these two seasons, the two have always been very tacit. If it's really for the sake of a boss's false name, Alan Houston is obviously very irrational to want to leave the Knicks so impulsively.

Is it for a big contract?

Alan Houston signed a big contract of 102 million US dollars for 5 years that year, and in terms of annual salary, Lamar, who signed a new big contract, is still a lot worse than him!

But what is that for?

Lamar couldn't figure it out even if he wanted to break his head, and just as he was scratching his head, Vanessa came over.

Seeing Lamar come out with a gloomy face just now, Vanessa was a little worried and hurriedly followed.

"What's going on? Is something happening to the Knicks?"

Although Lamar was reluctant to tell Vanessa about his troubles, Lamar still hoped that Vanessa could help him analyze the reasons for this matter. Lamar then put his arm around Vanessa and told him what Jeff Van Gundy had told him.

Vanessa doesn't know Alan Houston's value to the Knicks, because every time she watches a Knicks game, her attention is all on Lamar. I don't pay much attention to the CIC King, who is hidden in the shadows most of the time!

After listening to Lamar's words, Vanessa also realized the value of Alan Houston to the Knicks. The value of a championship-winning team, but she didn't understand why Alan Houston wanted to leave the Knicks, especially after hearing Lamar's doubts.

After thinking for a while, Vanessa said, "Since you don't understand, why don't you call him and ask him what he thinks?"

Vanessa's suggestion moved Lamar, but Ramal was still a little hesitant when he thought about what happened between the two of them in the finals last season. But after thinking about it for a while, Lamar still dialed Alan Houston's phone, after all, some things are better to say in person.

After a busy tone, the phone was finally connected.

"Alain, I'm Lamar, Lamar Odom!" Lamar pressed hard as he pronounced his name, as if he wanted to use his name to shatter Alan Houston, a defector.

Alan Houston was silent for a long time, and finally there was a voice, which sounded hoarse: "I know who you are! I'm Alan Houston, Lamar! What do you want to say?"

I can hear that Houston doesn't want to compromise in front of Lamar at all!

"Alain, you're leaving, right?"

Lamar could hear it himself, and his voice trembled a little when he said this. He didn't want to hear the answer, but he was hoping that Alan Houston would give him a clear answer, whatever Alan Houston's answer was.

The king on the other side of the phone was silent for a long time, and it was obvious that this question was also bothering him during this time.

But one thing Alan Houston was so sure was that he wanted a championship, he wanted it very much! That glittering trophy, that championship ring full of diamonds was a problem for him.

Alan Houston knew he wasn't young anymore, he was 32 years old! Although he still felt full of strength all over his body, he was still worried that one day when he couldn't run, when his shooting was no longer so accurate, his hands would still be empty, nothing!

Alan Houston didn't want to be seen like a loser, never!

When he learned that Lamar would go to the New York Knicks to become his teammate, although he was a little repulsed in his heart, worried that Lamar's arrival would steal his position (the fact is that the mid-pitcher stepped down without even being the real boss of the Knicks for a day), but he was still very much looking forward to it. Just because he knew that Lamar's power could bring him a championship, that's all.

But when he was looking forward to being Lamar's younger brother for two years, looking forward to the championship every season, only to end up with nothing, Alan Houston couldn't help but be disappointed!

"Lamar!"

Alan Houston's voice sounded hoarse and a little haggard. He had also been tormented by this incident for a long time during this time, and to be honest, he was not sure if he should leave before that.

Alan Houston loves the Knicks and loves the city of New York, especially where his career dreams began. He was used to the glitz and glamour of the place, and from the bottom of his heart he longed for such a stable life. But this kind of stable life, once put together with the championship, seems a little insignificant.

Because almost from the moment he was born, Alan Houston was eager to succeed and hated failure, which has almost become the creed of his life.

"I don't want to lie to you, yes! I'm leaving! Maybe I'm a deserter in your heart, but I'm sorry, I don't think I'll ever win a championship with you. People say I'm a gentleman and shouldn't be aggressive, but I also have **!"

"I can willingly be a little brother under you for the championship, bear your unpredictable and strange temper, and assist you with peace of mind, but how do you treat me? Look at what you have done in the past two years? There will always be such and such situations around you at the most critical time! I can't stand it, so I left!"

"What do you mean by that?" Lamar's gaze suddenly became very sharp, as if two sharp swords shot out of his eyes, tearing a hole in the sky and shining directly into New York.

Alan Houston didn't see it, but he felt Lamar's anger deeply, and he knew very well that Lamar didn't want anyone to mention it again: "I'm sorry Lamar! I don't want to say anything on this issue, I've said enough." Now I'm leaving, going to a place where I can give me honor or a team that can give me enough respect!"

"Honor, status?" Lamar's emotions suddenly became agitated, "Do you think the Knicks can't let you achieve your damn dreams?"

"Calm down, Lamar!" Vanessa hurriedly walked over and comforted Lamar.

Alan Houston on the other end of the line smiled and said after a while, "Lamar! Would you be interested in hearing my story, although we have been teammates for two seasons, we have never really gotten to know each other!"

Alan Houston paused after speaking, and spoke to himself without waiting for Lamar's response.

Then there was silence on the other end of the phone, and after a while, Alan Houston said self-deprecatingly, "I really don't understand why I'm telling you this, it has nothing to do with you." Damn! I think I'm sentimental. ”

"Lamar! I'm really going to leave this time, leave the Knicks, leave you! Go to a place where I can give me enough respect or honor, and I will never show mercy when we meet again!"

After saying that, there was a busy tone on the other side of the phone, and Lamar sat on a bench in the courtyard, but his heart couldn't calm down for a long time!

"What did he say?"

Vanessa saw Lamar sitting on the bench for a long time without saying a word, just holding her mobile phone and staying motionless, and walked over with some worry.

Vanessa sat down beside Lamar and asked softly. She rarely asks Lamar about the team, and she is not very clear about the relationship between Lamar and Alan Houston, and now she takes the initiative to ask just because she is worried about Lamar.

Lamar took a deep breath and said with a wry smile: "Alan is leaving! He said he was going to go where he wanted! Damn! Could he really not see the future of the Knicks? If it weren't for that incident, we would be champions by now." I really don't understand why he wouldn't want to wait another year?"

Seeing that Lamar was not too deeply affected by this incident, Vanessa's heart finally let go, and said with a smile: "That's just his idea, Lamar! We can never control other people's thoughts, since he is leaving, let him be, time will prove him wrong!"

Lamar shook his head and said, "Vanessa, I'm not sorry for the lack of a helper, I'm sorry for Alain. We had the opportunity to create a big scene together, but now I'm going to go on my own, but luckily everyone else is still there, and the Knicks' framework hasn't been broken yet!"

"I'm relieved to hear you say that, Lamar! Did you know that the way you just looked really scared the hell out of me!"

"Alright!" Lamar stood up with a smile and put his arm around Vanessa's shoulders and said, "Let's go in!

Alan Houston's departure looks like an irreparable thing. Although he and Alan Houston have only been teammates for two seasons, Lamar knows a thing or two about the midfielder and the gentleman off the court. He knew very well that once Alan Houston had made a decision, it would be difficult to change it.

Lamar is now just curious to know what Knicks management will do with Alan Houston's big contract, whether it will be traded to a strong team like the Los Angeles Lakers or a fish belly like the Atlanta Hawks?
