Chapter 644
Lamar was also thrilled to see his family. It's been a long time since Vanessa gave birth, and it's been a long time since she came to Madison to watch the game.
"Hey, Lamar!" Jonathan stood up and greeted Lamar with a smile when he saw Lamar walking towards them. His aunts, Sally, Jack Chen, Datinis, and Krees, all stood up and looked at him.
Lamar was a little surprised by such a grand courtesy, and walked over to the family and said, "Why are you all here?"
Jonathan smiled and said, "What's so strange about that? It's been a long time since Leon was born, and we haven't watched you play. We just want to come and see tonight, are you a good kid to be a coach?"
"What are you kidding?" Lamar laughed too: "Who am I? No matter where I am, no matter what industry I work in, I will become a legend!"
"Wow! Lamar, are you a comic from Mars? Why didn't you get Vanessa and Miranda at the same time?" Apparently Sally has been haunted by Lamar's cheating on two boats when Vanessa was pregnant (even if Lamar and Miranda Kerr have no substantial ** contact, but psychological cheating is also an infidelity to love in Sally's opinion).
Although in the end, Lamar turned around and stood firmly on Vanessa's side, Sally was still angry. She didn't want to come today, but the reason given by her mother made her not even say what she wanted to refuse, and she felt a little sorry in her heart, she really didn't care about her brother.
Seeing Sally mention the name Miranda Kerr again, Jonathan and his aunt both looked a little nervous.
"Lamar! Sally, she didn't mean to. β
"It's okay!" Lamar smiled faintly, obviously he still knew a lot about this sister who had grown up with him: "I understand what Sally means!"
"Alright, go back quickly! Mr. Van Gundy is still waiting for you to go back and cooperate with his work!" Jonathan said quickly when he saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward.
"Okay! we'll talk when the game is over!" Lamar lowered his head and kissed Vanessa and Leon, then turned and walked towards his bench. Just as he reached the center of the court, the lights suddenly dimmed.
Lamar looked around a little inexplicably, and before he could understand what was going on, a flash of light suddenly struck him. The fans at the scene were obviously a little baffled: could it be that there was a problem with the line of the stadium?
Then something happened that surprised Lamar and the fans even more, the lights in the stands suddenly and gradually lit up, and then the deep voice of the DJ sounded: "26 days, 11 hours and 21 minutes, 10 games, tonight will be Lamar's debut after his ban, which also means that our king, Lamar, will return to his stadium again." β
More than 20,000 people at the scene also understood at the moment when the DJ finished that this was a welcome ceremony arranged in advance by the team management for the returning Lamar, so the fans no longer skimped their cheers after returning to their senses: "Lamar, Lamar, Lamar, Lamarγγγγγγ β
Lamar was instantly infected by the atmosphere of the scene, although the team's behavior was a bit contrived, but this somewhat exaggerated action obviously touched Lamar's inner weakness. So Lamar's eyes moistened!
After more than three years of rebirth, Lamar originally thought that Los Angeles would be his warm home, but in the end he was abandoned! After trading to New York, Lamar has always regarded this place as a stop in his career, never the end, let alone home. But at this moment, no matter how cold Lamar's heart was, he was moved, deeply moved. The Knicks may be the home they've been looking for!
What surprised Lamar even more was still to come, when the lights were all on, Lamar saw his teammates in the Knicks, coach Van Gundy, general manager Darrell Morey, and owner Dolan all appeared in front of him.
"You guys?"
"Hey, Lamar, don't get excited! I can't see you crying!" the funny Dampott laughed and said, "We're all ready!
Lamar's heart was indeed very moved, but he was still trying to calm himself, he didn't want to make a fool of himself in front of tens of thousands of people.
Van Gundy walked over and gave Lamar a hug, and said with a smile: "Lamar, our king, welcome back!" Of course, you're not alone! it's ours, and of course these lovely New York fans!"
Lamar nodded and said, "Thank you, don't worry, I've always made the Knicks my home, and I won't let anyone down!"
"Lamar!
"Lamar!
Suddenly the fans at the scene shouted loudly, Lamar could no longer control his excitement, his eyes were already red, and he quickly looked up at the roof of the stadium to prevent his tears from falling.
In all fairness, Lamar Knicks was not Lamar's first choice, and the Lakers' place in Lamar's heart will never be replaced!
When I first came to New York, I used it as a stage to prove myself so that I could come to Los Angeles again! Of course, it would be nice to be able to do something for the Knicks and add a little honor to my career.
Even after putting in some great performances on the court and playing a few good games, he didn't expect that his journey with the Knicks would leave anything behind. But today, the Knicks' fans and management still moved him deeply, he didn't expect that those things that he thought were trivial would be exchanged for them treating each other so sincerely. People's hearts are flesh and blood, and it is impossible for people with iron and blood like Lamar not to dare to move!
Elton Branddoran first took advantage of Lamar's inattention to give him a deep hug, and then snatched the microphone from the host's hand and said to Lamar: "I am grateful for all you have done for the New York Knicks, you have turned this dying team into one of the biggest powerhouses in the NBA today, thank you! I hope you will do your best to dedicate a wonderful game to all the people in this city who support you." Finally, Lamar, you're the best player I've ever seen!"
Then every Knicks player came up to hug Lamar and greet him, making the atmosphere boiling again. The cunning Rodman walked last, and the big worm came over with a strange smile.
"It's very moving, isn't it? Lamar! I've never had such treatment in the NBA! Lamar, you kid makes me jealous!"
"You're going to have to do a good job tonight, remember what I said to you, and don't be too polite to those softies. If I see you playing with a frown again, I'll give you a taste of my fist!"
Lamar smiled and hugged Rodman, his eyes were red and he smiled and said, "Dennis, you guy is the funniest friend I've ever met, sometimes I really want to beat you up, but it's you who make me change back to my old self." Dennis, I have to thank you anyway, thank you for the advice you gave me!"
"Don't say it's useless, I'm not here to help you! I just think you're like me, and I mean temper, I'm much more handsome than you. β
"Of course, you're the rubber duck in the Madonna Bath!" Rodman's face couldn't help but flush a little when Lamar mentioned his affair, when he and Madonna's lace news was in the United States.
"Alright! Don't talk about it! Welcome back to your dead! Kick those softasses hard tonight!"
"If you don't say I'm going to do it too!
"I know what you're trying to say?" Rodman interrupted Lamar, "I'm a guy who has a beginning and a finish, at least this season, I'll stay with the Knicks and hone these little shoots, and of course the main thing is that second guy and Brazilian!"
"Haha! I'm sure Samuel and Hilario will be thrilled to death when they hear the news!" Lamar can imagine how wrestling Haitians and Brazilians will be when they learn the news.
Because of Lamar's welcome ceremony, the start of the match has been repeatedly postponed. Although the referee on duty didn't say anything, Lamar couldn't wait any longer. He wants to play and he wants to give back to the fans who care about him in the best form.
"Come and die! Let me see what you guys are capable of?Fight! Knicks!" Lamar shouted, his first game after the ban was about to begin!
Dampott stood in the center circle of the court as usual, and glanced back at Lamar, who nodded knowingly and moved a few steps forward, seemingly inadvertently.
The two of them are now getting closer and better, and as long as they have the opportunity, the two of them often stage a good show of sneak attacks at the beginning. Although it has been a while since they have played together, the tacit understanding between the two has not diminished at all.
"Swing the ball as far as you can to me, and I'll be there wherever you dial it!" β
The Haitian still vividly remembers what Lamar said to him before he first started the game in a Knicks jersey. As a result, he directly slapped the ball back to his half court in that scrum, and the ball was also slapped high and floating by him who was excited.
Just when people thought that the ball would fly out of the court along such a trajectory, Lamar suddenly jumped forward and grabbed the ball in his hands, and then threw the ball directly under the opponent's basket without waiting for his feet to land, and then rushed to the opponent's basket Billups easily scored the ball.
