"Grant!" Lamar hurriedly ran over, pulled Scola up and pushed him aside, and hurried to see what was going on with Hill.

At this time, the sweat on Hill's aching forehead oozed out.

"Doctor, Doctor, come here!"

The referee also stopped the game, and the team doctor shook his head helplessly at Lamar after the examination, although the specific injury is not known, but this game will definitely not be played.

At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on the referee, and everyone wanted to see how he would be punished. It was not an exaggeration to say that Lamar meant to expel Scola directly, but the referee's decision stunned everyone.

Lakers Sideline Ball!

With twelve seconds left in the game, the referee on duty, the biggest variable of the game, cornered the Knicks with his bastard penalty.

Despite his extreme anger, Lamar kept his emotions under control. It's useless to get angry now, the most important thing is how the Knicks should get out of this situation in this short twelve seconds.

Such an obvious foul was magnificently ignored by the referee, and Lamar only felt that his lungs were about to be blown up. He knew it was Stern's shot, and that old guy didn't want his team to win the championship, especially this time they were facing the Purple and Gold Dynasty that David Stern had worked so hard to prove.

"Mr. Referee, are you sure you can see what just happened?" Lamar's tone was cold, as if he was ready to burst out and hurt someone.

The referee was also taken aback by Lamar, he knew that he was wrong, so he took a step back with some fear, but he remained tough: "That's right! I can see it very clearly! It wasn't a foul just now." You know that basketball is a man's sport, and you can't avoid bumps. If every player had to wrap it in plastic wrap, basketball would lose its charm!"

found that the referee not only didn't even have a little guilt, but also brazenly reasoned with himself, Lamar just wanted to punch that hateful face. But when he thought of the fans' hopes, he could only endure it.

Billups was injured, and now Hill can't play, although it is not a too serious injury, but after these two accidents happened one after another, the Knicks' organization suddenly changed from the original talent to the current overstretched.

Lamar's position must not be moved, so the rest is Arenas.

It's just that Van Gundy is really not at ease with the general. Arenas is really good, and he has a strong impact, and although his three-point shot is not in tune, he can occasionally make amazing moves.

But the problem is that Arenas has some problems with his head and often suffers from manic symptoms. The most important thing is that now the team is behind, and the game has reached the most critical moment, at this time Van Gundy will never allow people and accidents to happen.

Of course, Barbosa can also play the guard position, and his excellent three-point shooting skills are indeed guaranteed, but now all opponents in the league know that he likes to use Barbossa as a surprise player. If Barbossa is sent on the field at this critical moment, the opponent will defend it tightly, and it will not have much effect.

It would be fine if the two teams were only tied at this time, but the team was two points behind and the ball was in the hands of the opponent. With only ten seconds left in the game, what is needed most is a solid scoring technique and defence, and it is clear that Barbossa is not suitable.

Van Gundy didn't have much to do if he thought about it, and seeing that Hill had been called out, he wanted to simply line up a big man to fight for rebounds at this time. Suddenly, his gaze fell on the slightly lonely figure at the end of the bench.

Mark Jackson!

Since joining the Knicks, Mark Sr. has been working as an assistant coach for the team and has barely represented the team in the regular season. It wasn't until the start of the playoffs, in order to increase the team's playoff experience, that Van Gundy pulled the old guy into the 12-man squad after much thought.

But even with the squad, Mark Jackson didn't have much of a chance to perform, and it seemed that water cooler caretaker was his profession. It was the same in this game, he sat next to the water cooler from the beginning of the game, but he was the first to stand up and cheer for his teammates every time they put on a great offensive or defensive performance, and he was also the first to stand up to welcome his teammates back at every timeout.

Mark Jackson sits there like a mascot, no one pays attention to him as an outdated veteran player, and his value seems to be to sit there and make the Knicks look stronger.

"Mark!"

Hearing Van Gundy call his name, Mark Jackson wasn't surprised. He is very clear about his place in the team and he doesn't care much about the lack of games. All he has to do is sit patiently on the bench and wait for the opportunity to come at any moment, and then make the best contribution to the team in the shortest possible time.

Mark Jackson stood up, walked over to Van Gundy and crouched down: "Coach!"

Mark Jackson doesn't seem to be frightened, and his more than ten years of career have sharpened his temperament very peacefully. He can face everything with a very good attitude, he has been brilliant and disappointed, and now he just wants to cherish the last moments of this career and try to leave no regrets.

"You play point guard in Chauncey's place and get Lamar back inside! Mark, win or lose in one move, don't leave regrets for yourself!"

Mark Jackson smiled indifferently: "I know!"

Seeing that Mark Jackson was actually sent to the field at this time, the guest commentator Magic Johnson also exclaimed: "Van Gundy made a bold decision, he actually sent Mark Jackson, a veteran who had not been given playing time before, at this critical juncture." ”

"I think he was taking a risky decision! At this time, both Arenas and Bosey are obviously better suited to play than Marc Sr. He's been out of action for too long, and at this time, I really don't know what Van Gundy is up to, maybe there's something really amazing!"

Mark Jackson heard every word of the magician's comments on him. He didn't say anything about this, just carefully packed his bags, and then walked onto the field.

"Mark!" Lamar walked over and gave Jackson a soft high-five, he was probably the only player who wasn't surprised by Jackson.

Mark Jackson smiled and looked at the young man, who was nearly a round younger than himself: "Don't worry, Lamar! I know what to do." ”

Although it was the finals scene, Mark Jackson did not have a trace of nervousness in his heart, and he also did a good job of cultivating his qi at his age.

Jackson's appearance was nothing more than a vignette.

With just ten seconds left before the end of the game, the Lakers still have a two-point lead. And the most important thing is that the ball is still in the hands of the Lakers.

As long as there are no accidents, the Lakers will win this game nine times out of ten. At this time, don't say that the Knicks are just replacing a Jackson who is out of breath, even if Jordan comes back to life, it is useless.

"Hold steady, don't rush, take your time! Just hold the ball, don't attack!"

Because the opportunity for a timeout was gone, Jackson could only stand on the sidelines and loudly remind his players.

Joe Johnson sent a sideline ball and it went to Bryant's hand.

At this most critical time, it is natural to believe in the most important players, according to Jackson's thoughts, the Knicks must be fouled, and Kobe's psychological quality and free throw shooting rate have always been not low.

After Kobe Bryant received the ball, it was not Wade, who had been entangled with him throughout the game, who rushed to defend him, but Battier. This surprised Bryant slightly.

Just as Kobe Bryant was thinking about whether he should go in and completely cut off the Knicks' hopes, or whether he should control the ball and consume the time of the game, Jackson suddenly shouted.

"Be careful, Kobe, be careful, Lamar!"

Bryant was stunned, and suddenly felt a wave of danger coming. The basketball that was originally placed behind him was also subconsciously pulled to the front by him.

Then Bryant couldn't help but take a look behind him, just in time to see Lamar standing behind him. Just when Kobe Bryant was glad that his reaction was fast enough to escape, his hand suddenly loosened, and then the basketball lost control.

It was Battier! He took advantage of Bryant's attention to be attracted by Lamar, and suddenly made a successful shot.

"Break now!" Battier took a few steps forward, grabbed the ball in his hand before Payton, and immediately threw the ball to Lamar.

Lamar received the ball and hurried to the Lakers' half, but the Lakers, who had made up their minds to consume time, were already heavily armed in their own half at this time.

Seeing Lamar rushing over with the ball, except for Karl Malone who came up, Scola and Joe Johnson all stayed under the basket to defend.

Faced with such a difficult situation, Lamar had no intention of retreating, and still firmly charged forward, crashing headlong into Karl Malone's arms, and the two men entangled and killed the basket.

Another five seconds passed in the game, and at this point the Knicks really only had one last chance left. Seeing that Carl Malone was following closely, and there were Scola and Joe Johnson in front of him waiting for him to come to the door, Lamar's heart suddenly made a decision.

Lamar lunged against the defensive wall, and the basketball changed hands in the air. Just when everyone thought Lamar was going to go it alone, his body suddenly twisted in the air, dodging Scola's block and passing the ball to Mark Jackson who was following behind him.

Hold it with your right hand, gently hold it with your left hand, jump and shoot!

"Huh!"
