Lamar smiled and patted Hilario on the shoulder, then brought him to Van Gundy and gestured to him. Van Gundy could only squat down helplessly, then took out the tactical board, and then wrote and draw.

"Ne&N, your next task is not simple, maybe you will be the team's first point of attack later!"

Van Gundy's first words shook the Knicks players, and everyone looked at Van Gundy and Lamar in disbelief, hoping to find the answer on the faces of both of them.

Lamar is still on the court, even if Lamar is gone, the Knicks still have masters like Billups and Devon Wade, could it be that Hilario stepped on the dog &? Or is there some ulterior secret between Hilario and Van Gundy?

But if you think about it carefully, it's impossible! Even if there is any secret, it is impossible to blatantly make small moves.

"Okay, don't think about it, this is a reasonable tactical requirement!" Lamar said with a relaxed expression, which made everyone's hearts fall to the ground.

Van Gundy coughed twice, then said, "Okay, guys, focus! Now the Lakers are definitely going to replace O'Neal, and the next one to come on the court is definitely Scola." Ne&Ne, the next thing you're going to face is him, and I'm sure you both know each other well. ”

"He's a little bit different in height and reach compared to you, and you're a lot more powerful and bounced than he is. But Luis's technical style is weird, and he is also very comprehensive, and his technique of attacking the basket is very correct and mature, so you must guard against his small movements when defending him, and pay attention to controlling your own fouls. That's all I can tell you, and it's up to you how to do it. ”

"Devon Wade, you're going to play to your strengths in the next game. Remember, you have to keep hitting the inside and causing them to kill inside. And Sean don't be soft, you need to prove yourself in this place, and you must seize the opportunity when you get it. Chauncey, keep the rhythm under control, now let's fight, for the glory of New York!"

"Fight, for New York glory!" the Knicks players yelled in unison, and then put on their sleeves.

Van Gundy waited for the players to leave, and then began to complain to the main coach next to him, Tom Thibodeau: "Lamar this guy is really unpredictable, I will be scared of this guy sooner or later I will have a heart attack! Isn't Lamar worried that after Wade takes the throne, he will be as unwilling to be lonely as that guy in Los Angeles and seek to usurp the throne?"

"Tom, do you think Lamar is crazy? You know, in this league, what kind of guy doesn't want to be the boss of the team?"

"Jeff, I think you're overly careful! I'm sure Lamar can handle it. Yes, you have a point, but how many people can sit in this position?" Tom Thibodeau said with a smile: "Don't worry! we need to help Devin grow up as soon as possible, so that we can have a better chance of winning the championship this season!"

"Don't talk about it yet, think about the previous seasons, don't you think Lamar really lacks a guy around him who can be entrusted with a big responsibility? Chauncy is good, but talent and character dictate that this guy can't be the core of the offensive end. Although Hilario is good, the cultivation of the inner line often takes time to precipitate. Now it seems that the only one who can make a huge improvement in a short period of time is Wade, the little guy!"

After the restart, Hilario rushed to the outside and sent the ball to Billups, then immediately ran to the inside and ran in circles with Scola. And Lamar and the old guy Malone are slowly stuck in the inner line, looking like they are making money.

Although Lamar's words were not explicitly stated just now, Hilario had already guessed it. The team's focus on the training of the center position, which has always been his dream! He knows that he has no competitive advantage compared to Lamar, so when he joined the Knicks, Hilario set his sights on the center position. In his opinion, he still has a lot of advantages compared to Dampoter, at least in terms of offense, he is much stronger than Dampoter.

Hilario is well aware that it is a great sadness to be born in the same era, in the same position and on the same team as Lamar, but he has no jealousy of Lamar, only adoration. Hilario is hungry for more minutes, more vocalization, and a desire to help Lamar with something, and now that this opportunity has come, he has to take it firmly.

Unlike O'Neal, Scola is much thinner and shorter than O'Neal, so it won't be difficult to keep up with the nimble Hilario. As soon as Hilario passed the half, he became a blocking robot, doing blocking and dismantling for his teammates everywhere, and those with the ball and without the ball did not refuse.

Hilario is smart and well aware of Van Gundy's tactical intentions, and although he has determined his tactical position as the first point of attack, it does not mean that he can do whatever he wants. The team will not only look at his scores, but also his defense, and see how much he can help the team, more than Dampot.

"Bang!"

Billups took advantage of Hilario's pick-and-roll to shoot, but the ball hit the basket.

Seeing this, Hilario hurriedly ran to the basket, and Scola naturally followed closely. Lamar on the inside and Karl Malone, the old fritter, are entangled with each other, and no one can grab rebounds with their free shots.

Of course, it may be because of self-improvement, after all, the Lakers are now short of major generals on the inside, and Malone himself has old arms and legs, so he can't fight hard for a regular season. If he couldn't play the playoffs due to an injury in the regular season, Malone, who was aiming for a championship ring at that time, would definitely regret it. So Karl Malone is just putting on a show, but with 20 years of experience, there is absolutely no problem at all if you want to get stuck with Lamar.

As a result, the ball also came in the direction of Hilario and Scola's running, and the two jumped almost at the same time.

Hilario was more physical, a little quicker, stretching his arms towards the basketball. But with small movements, Scola still managed to touch the basketball first.

It's a pity that Scola didn't know for some reason, after coming into contact with the basketball, he didn't choose to go in his favor, but wanted to receive the basketball in his hand at one time.

Where will Hilario let Scola get his way, reaching out and pointing the ball a little higher in the sky before Scola has fully collected the ball. The basketball immediately broke out of Scola's control and flew into the air again.

When Hilario landed, he jumped again quickly, this time Scola was a little behind, but still followed. Hilario clicked the ball to the left again, then jumped again, and so on three times, finally holding the basketball in his arms.

After getting the rebound, Hilario immediately passed to Shaun Battier outside the three-point line, and Shawn Battier received the ball and shot, "Wow", the ball went in!

When Hilario saw the ball score, he pounded his chest and rushed back while shouting coquettishly: "Ahhhhhh

Magic Johnson, who was sitting in the commentary seat, also recalled the past eventful years, and said with deep feeling: "It's been a long time since I've seen such an exciting big guy, and Scola is not his opponent at all! Although Scola is more experienced than this Brazilian and plays a better chicken thief, the difference in physical fitness still dooms the fate of the two." The gap between them is starting to come to the fore, and the Brazilian is clearly more passionate and has a monster-like body, and once such a guy really grows, the future three-second zone of this league will be his world. ”

"Of course! Hilario had better change teams if he wants to grow to that point, because in the strong positions of Lamar Odom and Dampoter, it is difficult for him to find a starting opportunity in the Knicks, and his excitement can only be suppressed indefinitely, which is not a good thing for him! Unless the Knicks make a trade, trade the Haitian monster on the bench!"

Although he is a fan of Lamar, this does not mean that the Magic is a fan of the Knicks, Johnson has spent his entire career in Los Angeles, and his heart is naturally still towards Los Angeles. So in the end, the Magic didn't forget to drive a wedge between Dampot and Hilario, and in his opinion, no player would ever put up with a substitute role, even if the substitute was the sixth man! Everyone wants to climb forward, and the only way for the substitute to climb forward is to trample the original starter under his feet.

It's a pity that Johnson was wrong this time, although Hilario wants to be on the top and can take on more responsibility, but he prefers to play next to Lamar.

Hilario's desperate rebound made the Knicks' morale skyrocket, and Lamar also gave Hilario a thumbs up, the ball just now was really beautiful. Hilario responded to Lamar with two white teeth, and he was very proud in his heart.

Looking at the Lakers who were attacking with momentum and wanted to get back on the court, Lamar yelled: "Take care of your people, don't let them out of your sight, if you don't want to sit on the bench, everyone must do their best!"

To be honest, Hilario has the strength and potential, and the only thing he lacks is a good opportunity, a chance for him to really break out of his cocoon and become a butterfly. Although he had been the team's starting center for a period of time when Dampot was suspended, he was not prepared at all because the opportunity came too suddenly, and his performance could only be described as mediocre. Today's opportunity was different, it was almost Lamar helping and coaching him hand-in-hand, and this time he had a firm grasp of it.
