Some people will be disappointed, but others will be excited.

The Knicks will face the Seattle SuperSonics next, and now the star of the team, Ray Allen, is like that. In the last battle between the two teams, although the Seattle SuperSonics had the last laugh, they won the Knicks without Lamar, and even if they won, Junzi Jian will not feel excited.

Like many talented players, Ray Allen has his own pride, and he wants to keep climbing the ladder and become the best in the league. Then, the Junzi Sword must trample an opponent like Lamar under his feet, which is a necessary prerequisite. Fortunately, his luck was good, and it was their turn in the first game after Lamar's return.

"Maybe somebody thinks we're unlucky, and in the first game of this guy Lamar Odom, we bumped into it. Restrained for 20 games, the wild tiger is bound to burst out and hurt people after a long time of hunger. ”

"But I don't think so! I don't think it's any different from the previous game where we beat the Knicks. Their names are all New York Knicks, but now they have an old rival, Lamar Odom. That's what I'm looking for!"

"Beating the Knicks without Lamar wasn't challenging for me at all, it was boring! ”

Ray Allen's clamor seemed to Lamar like a resentful woman, and he himself had become a discouraged man who had been approached for explanation. Now that the other party had thrown the white gloves that symbolized the challenge in his face, Lamar was not his character if he didn't take it.

However, Lamar also knows that if he chooses to fight back hard, it will be a self-defeating value. Aside from Ray Allen himself, I'm afraid no one in the league will compare the names Ray Allen and Lamar Odom side-by-side.

Who is Lamar? Champion member, regular season MVP, All-Star Game MVP, slam dunk king, three-point winner.

And what about Ray Allen? Except for a good three-pointer and some decent game statistics, he doesn't have a good record at all. At least the current Ray Allen is still a little worse than Lamar.

So Lamar's response to Ray Allen's provocation was not very strong.

"He wants to challenge me? That's good! Very good! I accept his challenge. I have to be responsible for every word I have to say, no one has ever challenged my dignity and even though he is a star I admire, I don't mind destroying him. ”

Lamar's reaction was a bit flat, but Ray Allen managed to grab people's attention.

Although this game is Lamar's comeback battle, because there is a huge gap in the overall strength of the two teams, except for the local media and fans in New York, people have not paid much attention to this game. But now it's different, and the unwilling Ray Allen has added enough buzz to the match, which also makes Lamar's comeback fight a lot more lively.

On the morning of the game, Knicks fans were already in action. Not only local New York, but also fans from other continents in the United States gathered outside the Madison Square Garden arena to welcome what was a festive game for them.

During the period of Lamar's ban, although the team's record is not bad, it is far from when Lamar was there. This makes Knicks fans who have long been accustomed to singing home after each game very unaccustomed.

Well, now that Lamar is back, the time has come for the teams that used to sneer at the Knicks after Maddison took the victory. They believe that as long as Lamar is there, no matter how strong the opponent is, there will only be a part of collapse in front of them.

Knicks fans are full of confidence in the re-arrival of Lamar's team, and naturally there will be people who will stand up and sing some counter-tunes to add some blockage to what should have been a festive day.

And the rhetoric they came up with to attack the Knicks and attack Lamar is naturally that Lamar has been out of the battle for a long time, and it is really uncertain whether Lamar can immediately adapt to the rhythm of the NBA game.

Although Lamar has been with the Duke college basketball team, trained with the Knicks, and played an All-Star game before his comeback, it is very different from the official regular season.

Some people are worried, and naturally some people are dismissive of it. Bill Wharton, a die-hard supporter of Lamar, expressed strong confidence in Lamar.

"I think the people who say those things have their brains squeezed out of the door! They can question anyone, but they must be the ones who doubt Lamar's ability, and in the end they will be the ones who will bring shame on themselves. ”

"There's no doubt about it! Lamar was familiar with the pace of the NBA game before he joined the league, but who can question his performance in his first game? Who thinks he's playing in the NBA for the first time? Now that he's just taking a break, that's even more fine. Let me guess what kind of stats Lamar can come up with in this game? Triple-double, 60 points, maybe there will be a big surprise! I believe that where there is Lamar, there will be miracles!"

Bill Wharton's words suddenly cornered Lamar. Although Lamar didn't say anything, he had already scolded Bill Wharton's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart.

Lamar has absolute confidence in his own strength, but it is not easy to get a triple-double or 60 points in a game. At that time, if you can't do it, even if you win, you will also be used as a talking point by those who don't like you.

But since they have already said it, the two of them are friends again, and Bill Wharton has been defending himself at ordinary times, and if he demolishes Bill Wharton at this time, it will be a bit too much. Depressed, Lamar could only remain silent.

After a brief workout in the morning, the entire Knicks arrived in Madison. Lamar's comeback day was truly regarded as a big festival by those avid Knicks fans, and not only was the stadium filled with spectators early, but even the outside of the stadium was crowded. Some fans held signs saying "I need tickets" in their hands, which showed the popularity of the scene today.

In the Knicks' break room, Van Gundy didn't bother to arrange tactics so much. What can be said has been said a long time ago, and with Lamar as the commander on the court, plus Billups as a metronome, and now with Grant Hill as a lubricant, the Knicks' tactical execution ability is absolutely first-class.

So Van Gundy just announced today's starting list and stepped aside to leave the field for the players.

Center: Samuel Dampot,

Power forward: Lamar Odom,

Small forward: Sean Battier,

Shooting Guard: Devin Wade,

Point guard: Chauncey Billups.

This main lineup has not been taken out for a long time after Lamar was suspended. Now that the players are returning to the team, Van Gundy no longer has to worry about the line-up.

Billups saw Van Gundy step aside, so he naturally walked to the center of the court, but he soon noticed that something was wrong, and all his teammates were looking at him with smiles in their eyes. When he saw Lamar also looking at him with a smile on his face, Billups remembered that Lamar had returned, and the team naturally didn't need him as a second-in-command to boost morale.

"Hell!" Billups, who had always been unfazed, also muttered in a shy voice, explaining with some embarrassment: "I'm used to it." Alright, Lamar, over to you. Luckily, you're back, I'm really not fit for this, and now I'm finally free. ”

Billups stepped back and Lamar walked to the center of the locker room, looked at his teammates and said, "Brothers, I'm sorry for not being able to be with you at the height of the team's schedule, and we've lost the number one spot in the league." Now that I'm back, I hope you won't be too late!"

"From now on, we're going to do our best in every game to regain the glory we lost! There's already a bunch of clowns out there waiting for us to learn our lessons, so let's go and kill them now. Let those bastards who are still going to show off their power in our heads know that in Madison, in this NBA, we are the only kings!"

Even after Lamar retired for a long time, he still feels very emotional when he recalls the fight. Lamar's excitement was not so much because of the game itself, but when he walked out of the tunnel with his brothers shouting "Fight the Knicks!" with the slogan "Fight the Knicks!" it was like water had been poured on the boiling oil, and the entire Madison Square Garden arena was about to be overturned.

Greeted by tens of thousands of fans like this, the crowd chanted Lamar's name, applauded him, and cheered for him, even Lamar, who has been in the position of King of New York for a long time, was a little flattered.

"I can feel that I was the king of this world at that moment! It's definitely not hubris, it's a feeling that Knicks fans bring to us. Because they also believe that I am the king of the world. It took me a long time to figure it out, and they applauded me and cheered me on because they believed I could lead them to a championship!"

"Fight!

"Fight!

The battle declaration reappeared at the Madison Square Garden arena, where fans chanted as Lamar's arms danced. This time, the slogan has never been shouted so freely as it is today, and it even pierced people's hearts directly, making the scalps of those who stood on the opposite side of the Knicks tingle.
