Chapter 1140

Ewing off the field now no longer hopes for Ariza, and feels that he was really dizzy for this guy at the beginning.

It doesn't matter if Ariza has a bad personality and temper, what Ewing can't accept the most is that the things he taught Ariza during special training recently, this guy actually forgot all about it as soon as he played.

Lamar couldn't stand it, and if he let Ariza continue like this, he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't shoot Ariza to death with the basketball after the game was over.

Lamar walked over in a few steps, blocking Ariza's path, slapping Ariza on the top of the head under the stunned gaze of the other party, and then slammed down.

"Lower your center of gravity, if you don't even know this, get out of here as soon as possible!"

"Yes! Lower your center of gravity!" Ariza suddenly dawned on him as if he had found a small boat guiding the lighthouse in the midst of a miscarriage. The things that Ewing had taught him because of his nervousness all came back to his head at once.

Lamar didn't know what Ariza was thinking, and he didn't want to know. Looking at Ariza, who was still in a trance, Lamar said in a cold tone: "I gave you the opportunity you wanted, I don't ask you to really do something, I just hope you don't let me be like you, become a joke!"

Ariza glared and knocked down the hand that put Lamar on his head, "That's my business, it has nothing to do with you!"

"It was better to do so!"

With the Knicks' offense, Lamar once again controlled the ball and hit a mid-range shot. Lamar is still in very good shape, and it is Nelson who feeds him with shells.

As for Ariza, he did nothing in this attack. In Stephen Jackson's defense, Ariza was clearly lost and couldn't find her presence on the court at all.

On defense, O'Neal Jr. on the Pacers' side got an opportunity on the inside, stepped back and hit a shot, scoring and causing a foul on Anderson.

Ariza lost again when defending Stephen Jackson, and it was because his defense was torn apart by Jackson that Lamar had to help. Otherwise, O'Neal Jr. would not have gotten such a good opportunity to make a shot.

This time, though, Ariza wasn't at least as a wooden stake as she had been before. At least one thing did a good job in Lamar's opinion, and after being broken by Stephen Jackson, he didn't stand stupidly and chose to pursue.

By the five minutes of the fourth quarter, the gap between the two sides had been widened to 22 points, and the game had completely lost its suspense, and Lamar was replaced by Coach K.

At this time, the Knicks' players on the court became centers: Daco Milicic, power forward: Taysha Princes, small forward: Trevor Ariza, shooting guard: John Salmons, point guard: Jamal Nelson.

With the exception of Salmons and Prince, all of the other positions are third-team players.

With the playoffs approaching, the main players need to rest, and the bench players need more game time to get a workout.

Prince was left on the field, and that was what Lamar requested. Although he hated Ariza, Lamar still hoped that Ariza could learn a little bit by Prince's side.

It's a pity that Lamar obviously overestimated the character of Ariza as a bastard. He had barely finished playing when Ariza began to make trouble for his own people on the field.

In the middle of another attack, Ariza suddenly went into a big swing and reached out to Nelson for the ball.

Because there was already a shadow in the third quarter, and Salmons was clearly in a better position and opportunity at this time, Nelson passed the ball to Salmons.

The latter made a three-point shot from the outside, but was interfered with by Dunta Jones and missed the shot.

Foster, who got the rebound, immediately launched a fast break with a long pass, and Tinsley made a layup.

Ariza was so dissatisfied that she didn't get the ball that she yelled at Nelson when the Pacers launched a fast break, and she didn't even bother to defend back: "What the hell are your eyes looking at? Give me the ball, you know, give me the ball!"

Although Nelson is also a rookie, he is also a first-round rookie, how can he not have a temper at all in the face of Ariza, a rookie in the second round?

What's more, now even a fool knows that he now has a much higher status in the Knicks than Ariza.

But now that the game was playing, Nelson didn't say much, just glanced at Ariza with disdain: "Be quiet!

Ariza still wanted to entangle, but Coach K would not give him this opportunity, and in order to avoid internal strife within the team, he decisively called a timeout.

However, what awaited Ariza was not Coach K's angry rebuke, but Lamar's ridicule: "Who do you think you are? Are you the core of the team? I think the most important thing you should think about now is not your future, but your brain, I think you are sick." ”

Of course, Ariza was not convinced by Lamar's criticism, and retorted loudly: "But you said that this is my last chance, I need to perform and prove my worth!"

"You've got a shit worth! All you have to do on the court now is to help your teammates block defenders, pull out positions on the perimeter, rush to the front court to rebound when you get a chance, that's all your job!"

"If you want to have a chance, you have to fight for it!" I think you should know why Jamal didn't pass the ball to you just now, and if you want a chance, you have to prove it to your team-mates and make him trust you. Do you think you have this thing right now?"

Lamar's words made Ariza completely stunned, and looking at the reactions of his teammates around him, he also knew his current situation. Although he was unwilling, he had to admit that what Lamar said was right, and it was the only way to solve his current situation!

Ariza wasn't substituted, anyway, now the big picture is almost decided, and Coach K is happy to be an adult. Even if the Indiana Pacers staged a miraculous comeback in the final moments, it would not have any impact on the Knicks' regular season this season.

Besides, the Knicks have now broken the Chicago Bulls' record for the best regular season record, so Coach K's task in this game is to practice and prepare for the playoffs by the way.

Although Ariza has been eliminated from the 12-man roster in the playoffs, and this game has been extremely so far, this guy is also a member of the team after all.

Even without what Lamar promised Ewing before, Coach K plans to see how this rookie really is, so that he can get him out of the team next season.

The game restarted, and the New York Knicks made no personnel changes. This made the fans in the stadium very unhappy, because Ariza not only performed in the previous game, but also contradicted the young vacant Nelson they had been optimistic about.

So when Ariza appeared on the pitch again, the fans burst into boos.

But this time, Ariza's braincase has opened up a bit. After being sprayed wildly by Lamar's hair dryer, he finally understood something: he was a rookie who needed to prove himself now, and the team's tactics could never have him at their core. All he has to do is do his own thing and do everything possible to get the attention of Coach K and Lamar.

Otherwise, Ariza will only be swept away by the Knicks.

"I don't know why you suggested this guy in the first place? To be honest, I still don't think he has what it takes to play in the NBA, even if he goes to the NCAA. "As an NCAA coach and national team coach, Coach K still has a very good way of looking at people, at least looking at young players, and his eyesight is still very accurate.

Lamar doesn't think so, having been with the Knicks for almost a season, but Ariza's progress has been limited. I really can't understand why the gap between the previous and previous lives has become so big, and the cobra with good strength in the previous life has turned into a soft-footed shrimp!

"But there's one thing I really appreciate about this guy, at least he's tough enough and sinister enough!" Coach K smiled weirdly.

At this time, Ariza was competing with Stephen Jackson on the court, and the small yin moves were used one after another.

Although the referee didn't find out, Coach K and Lamar were onlookers, but they saw it clearly.

Stephen Jackson, who couldn't stand Ariza's harassment, was finally set on fire. With a wave of his hand, Jackson pulled Ariza aside and shouted at the referee.

The referee's decision was fair, and a technical foul was sent directly to Stephen Jackson.

I couldn't hear what Ariza was saying, but looking at his constantly rolling lips and Stephen Jackson's darkening face, I should know that it wasn't a good word.

In the next game, Ariza can be regarded as letting go of his hands and feet, the future is in front of him, and he can't be willful anymore. Although he didn't have many opportunities to perform, he was very desperate on the field, and he was conscientious with every ball, which was a bit of a cobra in his previous life.

Ewing on the sidelines was also amazed to see Ariza's performance. Although Ariza is much more immature than top outside defenders like Battier and Prince, it doesn't matter, he is still young and has plenty of time to improve his strength.

Towards the end of the fourth quarter, Ariza was replaced.

In the space of 11 minutes, Ariza had three points (all on free throws), three rebounds and a steal.

Of course, such statistics are not satisfactory, but in addition to the superficial statistics, there are many contributions he has made to the team in defense and offense, which are just not visible to ordinary fans. 2k reading web
