Chapter 886

"So who do you think is the right person to trade?" This is a question that Lamar has to be concerned about, after all, he has been together for so long, Lamar does not want anyone to leave, but this problem is what he has to face at the moment

Van Gundy hesitated for a moment and gave out a few names: "Bobby, John, Lindero。。。。。。 Also, Gilbert, they're all bargaining chips!"

Van Gundy was tempted to add Devonwade's name as well, but he held back when the words came to his lips. He knew how much Lamar valued Wade.

When the Knicks, who held the draft pick this year, Lamar let Anthony go, and forcibly selected Wade despite the opposition of Van Gundy and Darrell Morey.

Van Gundy knew that even if he wanted to trade Wade, Lamar also had a way to keep Wade. Besides, Wade has been doing well lately, and his effect on the team is also very obvious. At least when Lamar and Billups are out on the floor, Wade's impact can still guarantee the team's attacking firepower, and Van Gundy doesn't want to let go easily.

Lamar listened to Van Gundy call out one name after another, and his heart felt as if he had been bombarded with a sledgehammer. Lamar is a very nostalgic person, although he knows that the NBA is a major business league, but whenever a teammate wants to leave, he still feels reluctant in his heart.

That's the case with Simmons, it's like this with Alan Houston, and even Dennis Rodman, who just came to make soy sauce.

"Do you have any goals?" Since there is a trade, Lamar certainly hopes that a better guy will join in, and the price paid must be commensurate.

"Jim Jackson of the Rockets, Rajabel of the Philadelphia 76ers, Hamilton of the Detroit Pistons, all three of them are very bullish on me! Of course, if we are willing to put in enough chips, Joe Johnson is also possible!"

Lamar thought for a moment and said, "Jeff, do you think these people are possible?" Jim Jackson is the vice captain of the Rockets, and he is the glue of their inside and outside lines. With players like that, it's hard for us to let the Rockets let go. ”

Not to mention Bell, AI finally got an outside helper, and would never agree to let him come to New York. ”

"As for Hamilton, this guy is not cheap, take him and put him on the bench? Isn't it a bit extravagant? Besides, now we and the Pistons are mortal enemies, how can the Pistons put such a player to us, unless we pay a huge price!"

"Joe Johnson? This guy is very strong, but who are we going to trade for? I don't think Phil can let go easily without packing a few! He is still counting on this year's championship!"

Van Gundy was calm about Lamar's doubts. He knew that as long as he could convince Lamar to make a deal, the rest of the problem would not be a problem. Now that Lamar doesn't have any opinions, the rest is up to Darrell Morey's wrist.

"Lamar, nothing is impossible in this league. Before the start of the season, who would have thought that there would suddenly be a five-lucky star? The problem that you mentioned about the teams that refused to let go is actually very simple, they refused to let go only because we didn't have enough chips to impress them. If our chips can touch the bottom line of their hearts, there will be no more possible problems!"

Seeing Van Gundy's confident appearance, Lamar still had some doubts in his heart, stood up and said, "Jeff, I can't give you an answer to this matter right away, I need to think about it, wait!"

With that, Lamar walked out. Outside on the training court, the Knicks' players are training under the leadership of several assistant coaches, and it can be seen that the recent trade turmoil has had a great impact on the players, and everyone is also absent-minded on the training court.

Lamar came on the pitch and fought with them for a while, but finally couldn't help but get angry. He can tolerate the lack of strength, but he definitely can't tolerate his teammates giving up on themselves.

"What's wrong with you guys? Do you think the championship trophy will fly into our arms on its own?"

In the past, Lamar's anger would have stimulated the nerves of Knicks players like a stimulant, but in today's trade turmoil and everyone is in danger, Lamar's anger can have a little less effect.

Players, look at me, I'll look at you, after a while, Battier, who is usually quiet in the team, stood up and walked in front of Lamar: "Lamar, did we say that we want to win the championship together?"

Lamar's heart was shocked, and he naturally thought of the meaning of Battier's words, but at this time, he didn't want to avoid anything anymore: "That's right!

When Battier heard Lamar say this, he suddenly became very emotional: "If that's the case, then why let us go?"

Before saying this, Battier also struggled with his heart for a long time. He didn't want to say that to Lamar, it would make him feel as if he was pleading, but he had to say it. He likes New York, he likes the Knicks as a team, and he doesn't want to be separated from Lamar. Battier knows that he can't become a king, so assisting the king to ascend the throne is the greatest pursuit for him!

"Holy, aren't we really useless to the team?"

"Three, three is really that important? We already have you, why should we look for someone else?"

Seeing the excitement of his teammates, Lamar's heart was excited for no reason. With such a group of teammates by his side, what else is he worried about?

Hell, it's okay for the Knicks to have their own, and it's not that his teammates don't have three-point ability, but they are not stable enough! This can be practiced! Why should you put your hopes in the hands of others, isn't it better to trust these teammates who trust you?

"No one is leaving! Every one of you is very important to the Knicks! I promise!" Lamar said, turning and walking into Van Gundy's office, he had already made his decision.

"Every single one of our players is very important to our team, I'm talking about everyone! Now that the team has chosen them, it already shows how important they are to the team, I said before the start of the season, our recruitment work for this season is over, and there will be no new players in our team. Everything I say is true, and I don't want to be pretentious. ”

'Chauney, Shaun, Gilbert, John, Bobby, Lindello are all very good players and they have helped the team a lot this season. They deserve to enjoy the joy of victory and win the championship with us, instead of being blamed and doubted by you, and not being used as a bargaining chip by the team! No one will leave, including the injured Grant and Samuel, who is banned by the league, no one will leave!"

"When the season is over and we lift the O'Brien Cup, you'll find that it's still us on the podium, and nothing will change!

Lamar, the team's boss, stood up to refute the rumors, and the Knicks, who had been panicking because the team was seeking a trade, suddenly regained their calm. And because of the previous mutual suspicion and mutual distrust, every player on the Knicks team abandoned all the mustards and became more united.

After all the bad things are over, the fighting power that the Knicks burst out is quite amazing. They had already won four straight games before this month, and after Lamar had created a miracle of 83, the Knicks were back at home against the league's famous underdogs, the Milwaukee Bucks.

The Milwaukee Bucks have beaten the Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Clippers and Memphis Grizzlies back-to-back since their home win over the three-headed Western giants Minnesota Timberwolves. Like the New York Knicks, the Bucks jumped to eighth place in the East with four straight wins at the start of December, a record that boosted the confidence of the entire Bucks.

"I feel like we're the strongest team in the league right now, and no team can beat us. The Timberwolves are very strong, you all say they are the favorites to win the NBA championship this season, but what about now? They are our losers! The same is true for the Knicks, Lamar Odom is not omnipotent, and that so-called single-game scoring record is just his luck in my opinion, but unfortunately his good luck ended here. ”

Presumably because the team's recent record has been good, the Bucks' new boss Michael Reed's self-confidence is a little too inflated. At the door of the Knicks's house, he was ashamed to want to struggle, and the results proved that sentence, Lamar was very angry, and the consequences were serious!

Lamar, who was inflamed by Michael Reed's nonsense, led his teammates to once again give the fans a good fight at home.

From the first second of the game, the Bucks never tasted the lead again. After a wild bombardment, the score on the field became 18:0.

In the first 4 minutes of the game, in the face of the Knicks' almost crazy full-court pressing tactics, the Bucks only got two shots. Unfortunately, Reid, the team's biggest contributor in the previous four games, had a very poor hand at Maddison today, missing both shots and scoring.

The Bucks are not in good shape, and the Knicks naturally don't mind beating the Reservoir Dogs. Although the two teams did not have a big grudge, except for Michael Reed's stinky mouth, and Mason who molested Lamar's girlfriend Vanessa at Mason, the home court of the Bucks, the two teams basically did not have a holiday.
