Chapter 347: Fighting for Vanessa
"Lamar, here!"
Shout out Alan Houston to speed up, and then use Dampoter's pick-and-roll to shake off Larry Hughes, who was following him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info ran in Lamar's direction, winking at Lamar as he ran.
Lamar immediately became a leader, and although they hadn't played together for long, the tacit understanding between the two men even surpassed that of the combination he and Kobe Bryant.
Receiving Alan Houston's code, Lamar suddenly turned around and leaned on Ricky Davis, and at this moment, Alan Houston also rushed to catch the ball with open hands.
In the middle of this, the two men staged a perfect deception, Lamar did not hand the ball to Houston, and Houston obviously did not mean to ask for the ball. Their purpose was to fool Ricky Davis.
Alan Houston made a stumbling stop after receiving the ball, and then ran in the opposite direction, while Lamar took advantage of the situation to turn and run in the other direction.
In the moment when the two staggered, Ricky Davis was deceived, and he instinctively made a wrong judgment, leaving Lamar behind and defending Alan Houston.
But just as he had just taken a step, he suddenly woke up and realized that something was wrong. But when he wanted to defend Lamar again, he was desperate and now Lamar had already made this fatal goal.
"Huh!"
The score was temporarily fixed at 54:49, and the Cavaliers trailed the Knicks by five points, and there was not much time left in the first half.
After Lamar threw this ball, he also landed a little unsteadily, he was too tired, otherwise he would not have thrown this ball so hard just now. He didn't even have a minute's break from the start of the fight, just gritted his teeth and insisted on knocking Ricky Davis down, and although he didn't succeed until this moment, he had clearly overwhelmed the opponent.
Ricky Davis was just as tired, holding his knees in his hands and gasping for air, his strength almost exhausted after a defensive effort he had just exhausted.
He rarely experienced such a feeling, and he was known for his good physical strength. But today's situation is really peculiar. He wasn't fighting at all from the start, and he was completely engaged in bullfighting with Lamar, which made his physical exertion too great.
At this time, Van Gundy and McBrown on the sidelines made personnel changes at the same time.
On the Knicks' side, Van Gundy replaced Lamar with Olajuwon. On the Cavaliers' side, McBrown replaced Ricky Davis with Alan Henderson.
With more than three minutes left before the first half, the aces of both teams finally came to rest.
Without Lamar, the Knicks began to play team basketball under the command of Van Gundy, and Antonio Davis and Olajuwon, who had been glimpsing for a long time, were like prehistoric monsters out of the cage, and they were attacking the Cavaliers' interior with teeth and claws, and they all got a lot of rest in the first half, and now they are just right to play.
The Cavaliers are different, without the core Ricky Davis and Big Z, the other players, whether Snow or Larry Hughes, can't carry the banner of the team's offense, and they fall into a scoring drought. If it weren't for David Wesley, who came off the bench and hit a few shots in a row from the outside, it is estimated that the Cavaliers would have collapsed before halftime.
"Both!"
The red light came on at halftime, and Larry Hughes' long-range three-pointer in the final minute was still a fraction of a second, and the Knicks went into halftime with a nine-point lead.
As soon as he returned to the locker room, Lamar heard his cell phone ringing in his sports travel bag. When I took it out, I saw that it was Vanessa, but this time because it was an away game, Lamar didn't bring Vanessa with her.
"Hey, Vanessa, why are you 。。。。。。 at this time? Before Lamar could finish speaking, he heard Vanessa on the other side of the phone shout, almost piercing Lamar's poor eardrum.
"Lamar! Kill the abominable Clevelands today and let them know you're awesome! ”
Vanessa's voice was so loud that everyone in the locker room could hear it clearly, and they couldn't help but laugh out loud, even Van Gundy was embarrassed!
Only Antonio Davis, a guy who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, shook his head with regret, and was still muttering in his mouth.
Lamar also felt a little embarrassed, and quickly hid in the bathroom: "Vanessa, what are you doing, what happened?"
"Didn't you hear those Cleveland pigs in the stands call me something? Those bastards have the audacity to insult me! You're going to kill them today anyway!"
Lamar then realized that Vanessa was watching TV at home, and heard the swear words of those Cleveland fans at the opening scene, and it seemed that there was a fool who called Vanessa a "bitch"!
Originally, Lamar's impression was still a little trance-like, but now after Vanessa's reminder, she remembered that there was indeed such a thing!
Suddenly Lamar was also a little angry, his woman was bullied, and if a man in a position didn't even let out a fart, it was better to castrate himself!
"I will! Just watch it at home! I'm going to have these Cleveland dog mongrels crawling on the ground and crying like dogs today!"
After calming down the angry Vanessa, Lamar returned to the dressing room! Van Gundy was giving his players some notes for the second half.
"Is it okay to take a minute, sir?" said Lamar whispering as he walked over to Van Gundy's side.
Van Gundy gave Lamar a strange look, but stepped aside.
Lamar glanced at everyone: "Keep giving me the ball in the second half! I'm going to beat the Clevelands to the scum!
Every player in the locker room who was seen by Lamar couldn't help but tremble in his heart, Lamar at this moment was more like a tyrant than before.
"Are you trying to avenge your woman?"
It was Antonio Davis, of course, who was leaning back in his seat, his head tilted, and looking at Lamar with a look of arrogance.
"That's right! My woman has been insulted by the Cleveland dog mongrel, and I want justice for her!"
Just when everyone was worried that Antonio Davis would stab and make insulting remarks, which would eventually lead to a bloody case, Davis laughed: "Very good! This is a valid reason! I will support you once!"
Lamar was also stunned, this beast really played cards out of common sense, but since he was showing kindness, Lamar had no reason to refuse people thousands of miles away, and nodded at Antonio Davis. Who knew that bastard didn't even want to see it, and put a towel over his face.
The other players didn't miss such a good opportunity to be loyal at this time, and one by one they shouted in the locker room like a gag.
"Vanessa is so beautiful and gentle, and it is unforgivable that the hateful Cleveland people should dare to impose slanderous words on her. Dampott looked like a medieval knight, standing in his chair and making his sullen declaration. You must know that when Dampotter first arrived at the Knicks, he had been living in Lamar's house, and Vanessa was not bad to him.
"yes! Kill the Knights and let them know how good the Knicks are! Let's see if they can control their foul mouths next time!" Chauncey Billups was like a little riffraff by comparison.
Van Gundy saw that the players were on Lamar's side. There was no way, so I had to make some changes to the tactical arrangement in the second half, and completely use Lamar's as the only point of attack.
When it was half-time break, Lamar kicked the locker room door open as he had done at the beginning of the break, once again startling the staff who had come to remind them of their appearance.
"Kill the Clevelands, kill the Clevelands, cut off all the Cleveland men's eggs, and make them always have to keep their heads down and play the role of clowns in front of us!"
Don't get me wrong, this sentence was shouted by Chaunsiy Billups. Of course, such a vicious attack also attracted the hateful eyes of many Cleveland people.
When Lamar led the Knicks' generals to the court again, the hideous face made the Cavaliers players on the opposite side startled, and they didn't know what kind of stimulation these guys were in the locker room.
At halftime, Van Gundy made some changes to the team's lineup, with Antonio Davis coming on to replace Sean Battier and Lamar taking on the small forward position.
After the first two games and the first half against the Cavaliers, he is now more and more satisfied with the performance of Shaun Battier, a rookie rookie with a good IQ.
Although Antonio Davies's temper was hot, his performance still made Van Gundy's eyes shine. Originally, Van Gundy thought that placing the Raptors' original iron-clad starter in the bench position would affect his performance, but he didn't expect the performance of this big man to make him feel like he was shining brightly, whether he was going to attack or defend, as long as he gave him a chance, he could complete the task well.
Although he is not tall enough to play the center position, his strength is also a little worse. But Van Gundy believes that given time, he can turn Antonio Davis into a qualified swing two-way interior star.
In addition, Van Gundy also replaced Chauncey Billups, who was already showing fatigue, with junior Johnson, which was a passive substitution. Chauncey Billups has been an undeniable help to the team on the pitch, both in terms of experience and skill set to play a crucial role. But he's not a superman after all, and the gradual depletion of his energy is inevitable, especially when he's at point guard, a position that requires a lot of movement. The demands on his physical fitness are even greater.
As for Johnson, this veteran who was and is still the main player of the Spurs, Van Gundy values this guy's experience, and is not very optimistic about other aspects, and his use is generally limited to the first round of the lineup and Arenas together to form a weak version of the backcourt double gun, and attack the opponent's position during the break time when the main players are off, to put it bluntly, it is a spoiler.
