Chapter 1091
From the beautiful offense and defense on the field, to the god-possessed and in-form Arenas in the scoring battle, and finally the final stunner, Lamar did everything in this game to perfection.
"I'm happy to win the game. It's the result of our whole team's efforts, we all showed our quality today and we deserved to win. ”
"The Minnesota Timberwolves are a very strong team, they have very good players, especially Kevin or Ray. And, of course, Gilbert and Ben, both of whom are the kind of players who can decide a game. But alas, we are the protagonists of today's game!"
"Defeating them doesn't really feel like we're invincible in the NBA, every game is the same for me. It's no different, the only difference is that one is what we've already beaten and one that I'm going to overcome next. That's it!"
"As for the goal for this season, hehe, I don't think there is any need to answer this question anymore, my answer will never change!"
Lamar didn't say it, but everyone knew what he was referring to, the championship, of course.
If there were people who had said anything about Lamar's form this season, then after this game, I believe those people can all shut up.
Especially in the pinnacle duel with Kevin Garnett, Lamar finally scored a big victory. For a while, the topic of who is the most powerful striker in the league today has been brought up again. The person who seems to be the most suitable for this title now is perhaps Lamar, who is the most disdainful of this title.
After the game, the New York Times reporter also interviewed Tim Duncan for the first time. What the reporter didn't expect was that Duncan seemed very indifferent, and he also admired Lamar very much, believing that Lamar is now the No. 1 master at the top of the league.
When asked by reporters if Lamar was now the league's No. 1 forward, Tim Duncan smiled and said something that surprised many people at the time.
"He's not the No. 1 forward in the league today! He's the No. 1 forward in league history!"
Even though the reporter had experienced a lot of battles, he was still stunned for a moment after hearing Tim Duncan's words. But he soon came to his senses, and now Lamar seemed to have surpassed him in everything but the number of championships he had won.
Since the start of the season, the Knicks have a 16-1 record, Lamar has also won the Eastern Conference Player of the Month with his outstanding performance, beating Vince Carter, who also has an impressive record, and the Western Conference Player of the Year award was awarded to Kevin Garnett, who led the team to a 14-3 record.
After a win over the Timberwolves at Maddison, the Knicks returned to the Washington Wizards at home.
Without Arenas and Caron Butler, just relying on the ability of Crayon Jr. Jamison is simply not enough to compete with the Knicks.
The game was easy, and the Knicks had already established a 19-point lead in the first two quarters.
And the Wizards, on the other hand, did not make unnecessary resistance after the Knicks took the lead.
To be honest, the Wizards' offensive power in this life has dropped by at least 50% compared to the previous life, and after the start of the new season, they will target next year's top pick.
After a symbolic and hasty resistance from the Washington Wizards in the face of the rising Knicks, head coach Eddie Jordan announced his surrender.
Seeing that the opponent was so interesting, Coach K did not beat the water dogs, and at the same time replaced all the main players and began to arrange substitutes to kill time with the opponent.
After the Knicks' main team was rested, Eddie Jordan thought that his team could at least save some face, but unfortunately, his wishful thinking still fell through.
The Knicks, who are in desperate need of game time to prove their ability to Coach K, play no worse than the main team. In particular, Nelson and the newly signed Landry, this new commando combination has shocked the Wizards' already weak defense.
At the end of the game, the Knicks won 118-80 and continued their winning streak.
At this time, the whole league seems helpless against the strong Knicks. Because they simply can't find a good way to restrain the Knicks.
The same goes for the Orlando Magic next.
If the Wizards can still rely on Jamison to resist a little, then Orlando doesn't even have the heart to resist.
Watching the New York Knicks at their doorstep, the Orlando Magic looked quite calm. Broken jars and broken cans can be like them, and there is really no one before or since. But it's a spectacle that they can be as thorough as they are.
It's just that Orlando's luck doesn't seem to be very good, and the IQ of the uniform team also seems to be a bit lacking. was cut off by the Knicks, just letting O'Neal go for a little money back then, you can see how short-sighted Orlando is.
When such a team that is not strong in itself and lacks fighting spirit meets the Knicks, what the result will be can be imagined.
Coach K was also quite relaxed in this game, and after letting Lamar play for seven minutes throughout the game, he pressed him firmly to the bench. At most, the other main players were replaced by Coach K after the first half.
But even with a bunch of bench players, the Knicks still wiped out this group of stupid old men who organized a group to travel to New York.
Looking at Francis's numb face, one knew that it would be wishful thinking to expect their gang to stop the Knicks' winning streak.
After tackling the Orlando Magic, the Knicks' next opponent is the Miami Heat, a very familiar opponent who has played against this team twice so far this season alone, and now for the third time.
I have to say that the thoughts of David Stern, the chairman of the league, are really incomprehensible. A good boy like Chris Bosh has always been a player he likes, but arranging the schedule like this, doesn't he want to let all the confidence of the little dragon egg be crushed in the first month of the new season?
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, David Stern's delusional hope that the Miami Heat can play the role of a blocker, and achieve three kills against the Knicks in the first month, but obviously this infatuation can only be delusional.
Before this match, Bosh's fighting spirit was not impressed by the defeat in the first two games, but appeared very strong. Although they were beaten by the Knicks home and away, the Heat's overall record was not bad.
Before Game 3 with the Knicks began, the Heat had won their first five-game winning streak of the season, and the team's morale was boosted. This also gave Xiaolongan a little more confidence.
"It's never going to happen the same thing a third time, and I'm never going to allow that to happen! ”
As the 03 super platinum generation, although Bosh has always been ranked outside the top three, he has never lacked self-confidence. And because of Lamar, Bosh is not deep in Toronto, and his strength has been greatly improved compared to his previous life. Recently, he won a complete victory against the German tank, and his self-confidence naturally skyrocketed.
Bosh's self-confidence was so high that he made such a similar victory declaration in front of the media, which shows how much he wants this match. But desire is never translated into strength, let alone in the game.
The overall strength of the two teams, there is no doubt that the Knicks have the upper hand.
This is true when this is reflected on the pitch.
The Knicks dominated the top at the beginning, although because of the stubborn resistance of the Miami Heat, the Knicks did not lead much, but for a team like the Knicks who gave a little sunshine, this lead was enough.
The Knicks didn't seem to be in a hurry to stomp the Miami Heat to death at once, and all the players were fully cooperating to make Lamar and Bosh one-on-one.
Compared with the nervous Miami Heat, the New York Knicks are obviously much more relaxed and appear calm.
The first half was only five points behind the Knicks, and although this result was hardly satisfactory to Bosh, at least the current situation was the best against the Knicks this season.
Due to the lack of a good interior bench after trading O'Neal, Bosh didn't have even a second of rest throughout the first half. It's not that he doesn't want to rest, but he doesn't dare to take a break.
The Heat, who have been hailed as a stumbling block on the Knicks' way to winning the championship this season, have lost to Lamar twice. Having lost twice to Lamar in less than a month, Bosh doesn't want that to happen a third time as the heart of the team.
Being killed three times by an opponent in a month, what qualifications can be a stumbling block for the Knicks, let alone stepping on the Knicks' corpse to compete for a championship!
Bosh only has to think about the impact of his team's three-game losing streak to make his head hurt. Now that the Heat are being pressed and beaten by the Knicks for the entire half, he wants to say a few bold words that can make his teammates' blood boil and arouse the fighting spirit of his teammates. So that they can hold on with themselves, fight to the end for the dignity of the team, for their own dignity to stop the Knicks.
But he was obviously not very experienced in the second grade, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Riley looked at Bosh with a slight sense of disappointment.
Since bringing in O'Neill this season, Bosh has been more silent than ever after feeling that his core position is at stake. Although he shoulders the responsibility of the team leader, it is clear that Bosh, who has a weak personality, is not suitable for this position, and he is not doing well.
