Chapter 681

"Crush all your opponents, and that's something that only the guy who doesn't know the height of the earth can say? But I don't take this to heart, a coward who escapes from battle doesn't deserve my attention at all! He wants to win, and that's good! Just come on! Let people see who's better!"

The young and frivolous Jae Williams certainly had no scruples, and of course he spoke unusually arrogantly.

It's a pity that Ja William's arrogance didn't last long, and Snicks beat the Chicago Bulls with a score of 117-88 on his home court.

Facing the Knicks' interior line guarded by Darmsport and Lamar, the lethal breakthrough that Chicago has always been proud of has become a joke. Jay Williams, who was slapped with 7 big hats by two people in a game, was still in a trance when he left Madison, and kept looking at the sky. It's as if Lamar's big hand would fall from the sky and fan him into the Pacific Ocean.

The last time the two teams met, the Chicago Bulls took the tenth place in the East by the Toronto Raptors behind them. This time he came to the door with new hatred and old hatred to take revenge, who would have thought that not only would the revenge not be avenged, but he was slapped by the Knicks again.

The depressed Chicago Bangyan almost staged a hijacking on the plane back. Of course, his target will not be the World Trade Tower, nor the White House presidential palace, but Lamar's house or Madison Square Garden.

After the victory over the Chicago Bulls, a three-game winning streak after the All-Star break suddenly pushed the Knicks up to second place in the East. There are only two wins away from the Detroit Pistons at the top of the standings, and it is not impossible to overtake the Pistons and dominate the East.

In the next game, the Knicks are going to the away stadium again, and Lamar, who is used to being around his family, is extremely dissatisfied with such a court arrangement. If possible, he now just wants to be by Vanessa and Leon's side every day, not leaving a single step.

Now that he was on another long road trip, Lamar was depressed.

With great resentment, Lamar embarked on the away journey. In the first battle, they reached the icy Memphis, where the sleeping polar bear only opened its eyes and looked at them, and then continued to fall into hibernation.

In the opening stage, the Grizzlies were able to rely on Gasol's flower-piercing butterfly step on the inside, and the flying squirrel Stoudemire on the outside line to entangle with the Knicks.

But with Gasol's intermittent malaise in the second half and Stoudemire's repeated wasted chances, the Knicks' show began as scheduled.

Steals, blocks, dunks, three-pointers, open picks, anyway, how to enjoy it. At the end of the game, the Knicks players even had the illusion that this was still a game, and it was simply a half-court offensive and defensive practice with a performance nature.

In the end, the Knicks won 119-91 in this game, without surprise. Seven Knicks scored double-doubles on the team, with a shooting rate of more than 6 percent. Of course, the best of the game was still Bella Mar, this guy contributed 21 points, 9 rebounds and 12 assists in just 27 minutes with a quasi-triple-double, and the power of the happy man is really strong enough.

Bringing back a couple of bears' paws from Memphis, the Knicks players returned to Boston after finishing up to challenge the Celtics, who have been getting worse and worse over the years. If last season's Boston Celtics were still eligible to play against the Knicks, then this year's Boston can be said to have gone to the abyss of rebuilding.

It is clear that the glory of the Green Shirts has long been thrown aside by their juniors. Now they seem to be really enjoying losing, and after every game they lose, they just look up at the 16 championship flags hanging over the arena and not only feel no shame, but even seek comfort.

"We have been brilliant!"

That's what the Celtics players are all about.

There are exceptions, of course, and every now and then a grain or two of gold pops up in any soup made of rat droppings, and Truth Pierce is naturally that gold. With 33 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists in the game, this result is not bad, but it is still a bit dwarfed by Lamar's triple-double.

When Pierce left at the end of the game, Lamar once again felt the sadness of heroic loneliness in him. The fat head Anthony Walker has never been a good match for Pierce, and perhaps it is only on the day when the Big Three gather in Boston that Lamar can truly feel the power of the truth, the gentleman's sword, and the wolf king.

Immediately after the Knicks left Boston, they rushed to their next stop, Los Angeles.

Lamar's old club's situation at this time can be described as a cluster of flowers cooking oil. The three-time champion Lakers obviously don't have the same excitement as in previous years, and they don't have the hunger and thirst for victory as before!

The OK combination is still the strongest inside and outside combination in the league, but the tacit understanding between them has become rusty for various reasons. The competition for the boss position between the team's two core teams has divided the Lakers into three factions, the Sharks, the Flyers, and the Neutral Party, and even the management has been affected in this way.

So, the locker room atmosphere of the Los Angeles Lakers can be said to be extremely bad right now. Not long after the All-Star break, Shaq was injured again in practice, and now the only thing the team can rely on is Peter Pan Kobe.

Although the young Kobe Bryant does not lack the courage to die, this courage cannot be translated into real scoring on the court. The Los Angeles Lakers have worked very hard as a team, and the veteran Grant, who had planned to retire after the end of last season, insisted on playing for another year for the championship and when the team faced a large number of injuries.

The old tough guy on the court really worked hard, and in the third quarter, he even fought to the point of leg cramps.

However, hard work is hard work, after the turmoil of the offseason, the gap between the Los Angeles Lakers, who are gradually declining, and the New York Knicks, who are slowly maturing, are obviously not as obvious as last season, and the Knicks are slightly better than the Los Angeles Lakers in some aspects.

104:112, the Knicks are behind! This score basically reflects the real difference in strength between the two teams.

Lamar once again got a triple-double in the face of boos in this game, taking his triple-double this season to 27, and even if this momentum stops, it is estimated that his record will be difficult to break for a long time.

After three away games, Lamar finally returned to his long-awaited New York. The first thing Lamar did when he got home was to lift Leon up and watch it all the time.

Although Leon didn't understand what the chimpanzee was doing in front of him, he seemed to like being lifted as if he were flying, and he couldn't help but giggle.

After enjoying the warmth of family, Lamar returned to the basketball court and became even more intimidating than his previous road trip. If the previous record of sweeping three teams on the road in succession does not reflect anything, then in the next two home games, the Knicks will face strong teams one after another.

First up is the Detroit Pistons, the Knicks' biggest rival in the East. After an early season rebuild, bringing in Hamilton and Rashid Wallace, the Pistons have now been reborn under veteran coach Larry Brown. After Christmas, they have an impressive record of 18 wins and five defeats in 23 games, firmly holding the position of the leader of the East.

This time they will challenge the Knicks, and if they win, their No. 1 spot in the East will become untouchable. In case of failure, everything that follows will be unknown.

After the game started, the Pistons sacrificed their own magic weapon defense, and the Knicks had no good way to face the Pistons' turtle-like defense for a while.

When the game was deadlocked into the fourth quarter, the Pistons still led the Knicks by five points. At the critical moment, Van Gundy made a desperate bet to change his strategy and sent Arenas, Billups, Lamar, and Houston to the court at the same time.

The change had an immediate effect, especially for Lamar. After having his teammates on the outside to help him contain, he looked comfortable against Ben Wallace again, and four consecutive three-pointers instantly stunned the Pistons.

When they reacted and prepared to risk their lives, they found that time was running out of time. They have no other way out than to reluctantly accept the fate of failure.

At the end of the game, Lamar was once again voted Man of the Match. In interviews with reporters, Lamar kept mentioning his son and Leon as his patron saint.

This made the reporters at the scene exclaim.

"Once a man finds his own happiness, this power is really terrifying!"

After the victory over the Detroit Pistons, the Knicks and Pistons were only half a win separating them. With three games left in the regular season, everything gets delicate.

After the Pistons, the Knicks then faced the Atlanta Hawks on their home court. Things weren't very rosy for the Heat at this time, with Eddie Jones and Brian Grant also falling out after a brief honeymoon period after Alonzo Mourning was once again out for the season due to injury.

While Mourning was still alive, Eddie Jones and Brian Grant both declared on more than one occasion that they would not compete for the position of team leader. But with Mourning's reimbursement for another season, the two people with their own thoughts began to have their own ideas, and the original vow became a little shrunk.

No longer satisfied with the position of the core of the team, let alone satisfied with sharing the team's shooting power with the other party, Eddie Jones and Brian Grant finally began to fight each other without Mourning's suppression.
