Chapter 712
At halftime, the score was 63:58, with the Knicks leading by five points. lā X
The Pistons actually scored 58 points in the first half? If they had played like this a long time ago, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been treated as a thorn in the side by David Stern now.
Although the difference in points is not large, everyone knows that such a score is entirely due to the fact that Lamar has not fully played in the first half. Lamar played 14 minutes in the entire first half, scoring 12 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks.
In the second half, once Lamar went crazy, it was not at all that the Pistons who gave up defense and went all out to attack could resist.
Sure enough, in the second half, as Lamar began to exert his strength, the balance of the game slowly tilted in favor of the Knicks.
"Oh, what did we see? Oh my God! Lamar is so bad that the basketball actually went through Rasheed Wallace's crotch. Beautiful!"
"I just thought that Lamar hit the earth too hard, but it turned out that he had planned it all. As he spoke, Bill Wharton suddenly realized as if he had suddenly figured out something: "Let's take care of Rashid Wallace's balls, and hopefully they won't catch a cold, hahahaha。。。。。。 Idiot, wasn't that cool just now!"
Bill Wharton burst into Rashid's ears with a strange laugh, and roared at the Celestial Venerable, who was ashamed to death. If it weren't for the big fist of Wharton's old villain who beat the invincible opponent all over the world, he would even want to rush to the commentary seat now and tell people the consequences of being disrespectful to the old man with practical actions.
Lamar's sudden frenzy and Wharton's magic sound filled his ears, and the Detroit Pistons players suddenly felt a little overwhelmed. Although the nerves are still tense, gritting their teeth and insisting on not being pulled by the Knicks, it is clear that the Pistons' efforts are in vain, and the Knicks' victory is already the general trend.
There is a gap in the overall strength of the two teams themselves. Even the Suns, who have reached the peak of small-ball tactics, have not been able to bargain for the Knicks in two regular season games a season.
In the end, when the red light came on at the end, the mighty Detroit giants and the famous Pistons Five Tigers of this season still fell. They didn't fall very violently, except for a sense of heroic twilight, and the backs of them when they left didn't leave much of a feeling.
Once again, the arena was set up to celebrate, last to celebrate the Chicago Bulls' playoff winning streak and this time to celebrate the Eastern Conference title they already had.
When he was surrounded by his teammates and walked onto the stage to receive the trophy from a reluctant David Stern, Lamar didn't have a look of joy on his face.
Lamar tilted his head to look at the trophy and slipped it into the arms of Dampot, who was next to him. The pie fell from the sky, and the people at the bottom of the sea were suddenly ecstatic, holding the trophy and shouting vigorously.
At this time, the microphone was stuffed into Lamar's hand again, and Lamar hesitated for a long time without speaking.
Lamar had been watching his teammates around him celebrate, and he wanted to fit in, after all, it was his first team honor since coming to the Knicks. But Lamar always had a voice in his heart reminding him: "Don't worry!
"Guys, don't worry!
The celebratory crowd fell silent instantly, and everyone looked at Lamar in surprise, not understanding what Lamar meant.
Lamar was also stunned, he didn't understand why he said this. It was a long time before he continued: "I mean, it's not the final result yet. There is an even more important honor ahead of us that we need to fight for, and only by lifting that O'Brien Cup can we be qualified to be so presumptuous! ”
Lamar's words were obviously a bit of a disappointment, and the crowd, which was originally elated, was now suddenly cold. The DJ at the scene reacted quickly enough, and quickly took the microphone and shouted loudly: "Guys, don't you understand what Lamar means? What else is in front of us? O'Brien Cup!"
"Overall Champion!"
"Overall Champion!"
"Overall Champion!"
"Overall Champion!"
"Overall Champion!"
"Overall Champion!"
After DJ's reminder, everyone present immediately became crazy again. The celebration began once again, and the fans only remembered the O'Brien Cup, but forgot what Lamar said about restraint.
At this time, who else can restrain it? Although it is only the Eastern Conference champion, it is already very good for the current New Yorkers.
Just six days after the Knicks eliminated the Pistons to become the Eastern Conference champions, the Western Conference Finals were also decided. The San Antonio Spurs won 4-2 over the internal strife of the Los Angeles Lakers to lift the Western Conference championship trophy.
Lamar was a little disappointed by the result.
Because just before the sixth game between the two sides, Lamar also said in an interview with reporters that the team he admires more is the Los Angeles Lakers. Because that's where Lamar's NBA career began, and only playing against a team like that can get him excited. Playing against Spurs, on the other hand, will only make Lamar drowsy.
But the facts are the facts! Although Lamar, a traverser, was waving the flag and shouting on the side, the Los Angeles Lakers, who were constantly in internal strife, still reluctantly declared defeat after holding on for six games.
New York Knicks vs San Antonio Spurs!
For basketball fans all over the world, I really don't know whether to be happy or sad!
In the finals against the Spurs of Unsettled Toonio, such a result did not surprise Lamar. Although until this result came in, Lamar had been hoping that history would change and that the Knicks' final opponent would be the Los Angeles Lakers.
Because as Lamar said, he wants to play against the team he started his NBA career against against a team like the Spurs.
But for the San Orientio Spurs' victory over the Los Angeles Lakers, Lamar is still mentally prepared. Because in my memory, this season the Spurs defeated the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals, and the New Jersey Nets led by Jason Kidd met in the Finals, and the Nets were knocked out to win the O'Brien Cup.
The inertia of history is still very strong, although the east has been turned upside down by the appearance of Lamar. But in the west, everything is still moving forward according to the original historical trajectory.
"I feel sorry for the Los Angeles Lakers, who deserved a ticket to the Finals this season. But as you all know, the outcome of the game is not up to me, and all I can say is a pity that they are out. Because I still prefer to play against the Lakers compared to the Spurs. You all know why, there's my past, my brothers, and of course my enemies! But they're all still young, and I'm sure one day, they'll be on the stage of the finals again. ”
Listening to Lamar's tirade, the reporter wanted to interrupt several times. Lamar kept talking as if he didn't realize it at all, which made the reporter angry for a while.
Originally, reporters came to interview Lamar today to hear what he said about the Spurs, the opponent in the Finals. Everyone knows that Lamar is not ready to take it at all!
The grievances between the Knicks and the Spurs are known as long as you are a fan. Every time these two teams meet, there is always a lot of surprise.
One of the most familiar to fans is that it was Lamar's revenge that directly caused Bruce Bowen to break his leg and end up lying in a hospital bed for more than a season. So every time Lamar goes to San Antonio to fight, he will become a street rat and everyone shouts and fights!
The fan war between the two teams has never subsided.
Now Lamar has been talking for a long time, and he didn't mention the Spurs at all, but praised the Los Angeles Lakers, the favorites before the Western Conference Finals.
Although fans know Lamar's feelings for Los Angeles, everyone knows that Lamar's praise for the Lakers is 99% not sincere. Back then, it was the Lakers top management who chose to trade Lamar, the hero of the 2-game championship in order to appease Kobe, Lamar will have no complaints?
"So what do you think of the San Antonio Spurs? This year's Spurs are really strong, they just eliminated this year's favorite to win the championship, the Los Angeles Lakers! When you meet an opponent like the Spurs on the stage of the Finals, do you have the confidence to lead the Knicks forward? Of course, I think this is the most important thing for New York fans right now!"
Finally, a reporter couldn't help it and pulled the topic to Spurs. Of course, he asked very tactfully, lest he upset Lamar, in which case he would lose a lot!
Lamar knew that he couldn't escape the entanglement of these reporters, and when he heard the name Spurs, Lamar frowned, obviously he didn't have a good impression of Spurs.
There was silence for a moment before Lamar's brow finally relaxed.
"I don't want to hide anything, I just don't like them! their basketball makes me feel bad, I don't like the slow pace. And the Spurs never seem to be fast, I don't understand why such a team should survive in the NBA? They should go to the NBA, which is the best place for them. Of course, if they want to go there, they have to go to Thailand first!"
"Lamar, do you think the Spurs have a slow pace of basketball, but what about the Pistons? Are the two teams they met in quick succession similar in style?"
"No! The Pistons played the last game, and they played well! It was refreshing. It's just that their luck is not very good, if the two teams are of equal strength, then the luckier ones tend to win!"
"Spurs are different, they're just so dull. There was not a shred of blood in their basketball, except that it was dull or dull. If I had been sitting in the stands, I would have fallen asleep before the first quarter was over! Of course I think I'm disappointed with the result right now! But I'm sure some people are more disappointed than me!"
