Chapter 911
Seeing that the morale of the Lakers had been raised, Van Gundy quickly called a timeout. Apex Update the fastest He has some doubts in his heart now, the game is going on so far, although Lamar is not bad, he wants to score points, and he wants assists, but he has not entered the state of excitement that Van Gundy remembers. Lamar seemed to be deliberately reducing the impact of his team tonight, perhaps to improve the quality of his team-mates, who have been doing support work for them, although sometimes he puts himself in a goalscorer position. It's just that that's not what Van Gundy wants!
Seeing Van Gundy's puzzled expression, Lamar knew what his manager was thinking. Lamar stepped forward with a smile and said with a smile: "Jeff, the tigers also have a nap, don't they? Now that I'm almost rested, it's time to settle accounts with those Laker aristocrats!"
"Reckoning?" Van Gundy didn't understand.
Lamar smiled mysteriously: "Have you forgotten how I left the Lakers in disgrace? This is the biggest stain on my career! And in the face of such a strong team and opponent, I have no habit of avoiding and not fighting!"
"Do you want to?" Van Gundy didn't finish, and soon the answer was found on the court.
As soon as the game began, Lamar plunged headlong into the Lakers' interior. Although Darm Porter was a little reluctant, since the team boss had spoken, he had to obediently give way and run to the free throw line to help Lamar open up the inside space, of course, only Karl Malone came out to defend.
Billups waited for Lamar to settle down and passed the ball the first time. Lamar singled up and singled O'Neal with his back. Such a strange formation and tactics stunned everyone on the scene, they couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Lamar's pot even if they wanted to break their heads?
"Lamar, you're looking for death!" was ignored by Lamar like this, no matter how good the relationship between them was, O'Neal's anger couldn't be suppressed, and he was almost ignited: "I want to see how much progress you've made in the Knicks over the years?"
"Big guy, this is what I've always longed for, and I wanted to communicate with you when I was in the Lakers. Are you scared? Don't you want to compete with me under the basket?
"Kill him!Shaq, kill that crump who doesn't know how thick the sky is!"
"Smash his bones and let him know you're awesome, Shaq!"
Seeing that his center was actually provoked by his former little brother, even though this little brother is now the most popular Lamar in the NBA, the Los Angeles Lakers fans who have been in the clouds all the year round still feel humiliated in their hearts.
Lamar had long been immune and deaf to the angry scolding of Lakers fans, holding the ball and leaning on O'Neal's fat body, approaching the basket little by little.
"Lamar Odom's actions are completely self-inflicted. The gap between him and Shaq is too big, if the two of them change positions, who can still see that little monkey?" The guest commentator of this game, the greatest player in the history of the Lakers, Magic Johnson, has now had to give up his position and stand by the side of Shaq O'Neal.
Because of the mentor-apprentice relationship between Magic Johnson and Lamar, Johnson has always considered himself a die-hard Lamar fan. But he is familiar with Shaq's power and still chooses to face the reality, in Johnson's opinion, the two people who are not at the same level in height and strength are not comparable at all!
But as soon as Johnson finished speaking, Lamar suddenly turned around, hit O'Neal sideways, and then bounced off and jumped up to shoot. Lamar's whole action was done in one go, and O'Neill wanted to block it, but Lamar's backwards were so great that O'Neal's must-kill fly extinction became useless.
"It's okay, is it? Peyton walked over and asked.
O'Neal grimaced, shook his head and said, "Gary, pass the ball to me later." I have to get this field back!"
Peyton didn't think much of it, and nodded in response. When the Lakers attacked, Payton passed the ball to O'Neal after taking the ball across the halfcourt, and O'Neal directly ignored Damppot in front of him after receiving the ball, pointing at Lamar and making a provocation.
Lamar was naturally not to be outdone, and did not hesitate to complete the switch with Dampot.
Shaq O'Neal saw that Lamar had already stood in a defensive position, and immediately relied on Lamar to use his best back-to-back single.
There is still a gap between the weight and physique of the two, so it is reasonable that Lamar was squeezed by O'Neal step by step. Lamar tried a few times, and found that he couldn't stop Shaq's strange power, and his heart was crossed, thinking that he couldn't squeeze it anyway, so it was better to play a game.
So Lamar suddenly took a step back after a hard top. O'Neill was really fooled, thinking that Lamar was addicted to playing physical confrontation with him, so he didn't think about it, and leaned back with more strength, but unfortunately what was waiting for him was air.
Since there was no force point behind him, O'Neill's center of gravity leaned back sharply for a while. Lamar took advantage of the moment when O'Neal lost his center of gravity, suddenly accelerated, and slapped the basketball that was still in the air.
Lamar threw the basketball to Sean Battier without thinking, and Sean Battier dribbled quickly to the front court for a simple layup to end the perfect counterattack.
"Well passed, Lamar!" Sean Battier gave Lamar a thumbs up.
Lamar just smiled, then looked at the dejected O'Neill, smiled and said, "Big guy, do you want to continue?"
O'Neill was stunned for a moment, then smiled, but his smile was somewhat bitter.
O'Neal had already felt that although his heart had raised Lamar to the level of Tim Duncan, his estimation was still a little low. Even under the basket that he is best at, he actually lost to Lamar on both offensive and defensive ends. Of course, his slack in training in recent years is also one of the reasons, but more importantly, Lamar's strength has improved amazingly after leaving the Lakers.
Although he didn't get an answer, Lamar had already gotten the answer from O'Neal's eyes, and the big shark began to look at himself!
After battling each other and getting himself hooked, Lamar gave up on the idea of continuing the confrontation with Shaq. After all, there is still a gap in height and strength, although in the confrontation just now, both offensive and defensive ends are not bad, but Lamar does not want to find guilt. Lamar definitely has to play with the old guy Karl Malone with less effort, so that he can still have the energy to help his teammates defend from time to time.
As for the task of shark fighting, leave it to the muscular Dampott or Hilario to complete.
The Los Angeles Lakers attacked, and Kobe, known as the league's No. 1 guard, dribbled the ball to the front court quite steadily, not impatient at all, and seemed to be completely unaffected by the Knicks' fast break, and always maintained his own rhythm. Kobe Bryant, as a representative of the 96 golden generation, is the best scoring guard on the surface of the earth.
After Kobe Bryant stabilized his rhythm and brought the ball to the frontcourt, he took advantage of a block by Karl Malone, shot outside the three-point line, and hit. Like this kind of blocking tactic, the most suitable candidate is still Karl Malone, after all, the old postman was born here, and his career almost relied on this tactic to make a name for himself in the league. As for O'Neill, the big shark, since the power struggle between the two men was on the surface, the two of them have almost become strangers to each other, and it is already a blessing that they did not tear their faces on the field.
Amid the cheers of the audience, the Lakers' momentum returned. After all, steals plus baskets are only two points, and this three-pointer is a real three-pointer, and the numbers on the scorer will not lie.
Dampotter let go of O'Neal, who was stuck tightly together, and then quickly ran to the baseline and sent the ball out. Then the Haitians ran desperately to the front.
Billups still handed over the basketball to Lamar. Lamar dribbled the ball slowly outside the three-point line and then pulled up and shot. The moment the basketball was shot, Kobe Bryant suddenly rushed over from the side, reached out and fanned it.
It's just that Kobe's goal is not basketball, but Lamar's eyes. Interfered with by Kobe, Lamar also hesitated a little when shooting.
"Bang!", and the basketball slammed into the hoop.
Dampotter hurriedly squeezed the position, but unfortunately O'Neal's tonnage still rigidly limited Dampoter's range of action.
Although he lost to Lamar, the big shark would not be discouraged so easily, in fact, he knew, and Lamar also knew very well, that kind of battle could only be completed in an instant. If it goes on to compare, Lamar has been playing the inside line, once O'Neill is familiar with Lamar's combat methods, then there is only one result, that is, Lamar loses and there is not even scum left, after all, the difference in size and tonnage between the two is too great.
Dampoter scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, but there was still no good way to solve the dilemma in front of him, so he had to watch O'Neal take the ball off. After the big shark took off the rebound, he provocatively raised the ball into the sky, and it was reasonable for Shaq, who had just been angry at Lamar, to find an opportunity to show off.
But Shaq O'Neal clearly underestimated the Knicks' entire basketball madness, and when he lifted it to the top of his head, Lamar pounced on it the first time.
Lamar jumped quickly, then slapped the ball the basketball, hitting the ball backwards, and the ball flew backwards as fast as it could.
Seeing this, Dampot hurriedly bypassed O'Neal, although the basketball had already flown out of the court at this time, but it had not yet landed out of bounds. At this time, Dampot's eyes were only on basketball, and where could he care about the photojournalists under the basket. So in the exclamation of the audience, the Haitian flew straight out with the ground level, his hand constantly stretched forward, closer to the ball, closer, closer!
