Lamar slowly advanced to the front court with the ball, looking at the Timberwolves with high morale and a fairly well-established defensive formation, he knew that although his team was still in the lead, the two teams were evenly matched in terms of momentum.

Lamar knows it's only now that the game really heats up, and while the Knicks still have an eight-point lead, it's not safe against any strong team. What's more, the Knicks are still facing the Minnesota Timberwolves, the runner-up in the regular season, plus a crazy Howling Moon Wolves, Lamar can't help frowning a little.

This momentum must be brought back, otherwise it will be beaten by the Timberwolves, and with the home-court advantage deliberately arranged by David Stern, the Knicks will be really dangerous in this game.

But now the Knicks have another advantage, and that is the difference in the strength of the players on the court between the two sides. Although because of Garnett, every player on the Timberwolves court is scurrying around like crazy Huskies to press the Knicks' offensive space, but second-rate players are second-rate players, even if they have a morale bonus, they can't become All-Stars all at once.

Lamar hadn't thought about it yet, and he was already in the Timberwolves' half.

Garnett still didn't rush up, he knew Lamar's strength with the ball, and if he pounced, the huge space behind him was no joke.

Lamar carries the ball and looks at Dampote on the inside. It was such a subtle detail that made the Timberwolves' defensive formation immediately begin to deflect toward the interior.

The only thing left on the court was Jason Collins and Campbell, who had just been entrusted with the task by Garnett, immediately sandwiched Dampoter in the middle.

Grab up, or retreat to the three-point line to defend in a position?

Between the two options, Garnett chose the latter.

The main thing that led Kevin Garnett to choose this strategy was the look in Lamar just now.

Garnett took a small step back and opened up the distance between him and Lamar, waiting for Lamar to break through or pass.

But just as Garnett's left foot was about to hit the ground, Lamar suddenly jumped up. Unlike Jordan's pull-up jump shot and Kobe Bryant's step-back shot, Lamar just walked and suddenly jumped up without warning.

"Not good!" Garnett said to himself.

There was also a burst of exclamations from the fans at the scene, and some of the fans sitting close to the stadium also made loud noises, as if hoping that this would affect Lamar's hand.

It's a pity that they are all too naïve!

"Huh!"

After the basketball crossed an arc, it was firmly hollow into the net, and it plunged into it without the slightest drag.

With no close-range pressing, Lamar shot more than 75 per cent from any position in the opposition half. Defending like Garnett just now is giving away points to the Knicks.

"Holy!" Garnett cursed and shouted at Collins, "Pass the ball!"

Collins didn't dare to disobey and immediately passed the ball over. (Don't say that Garnett is a power forward and can't dribble or anything like that, you must know that the wolf king at his peak is a superstar who can play five positions)

After Garnett received the ball, he turned and rushed towards the Knicks' half. Lamar didn't step forward, but Prince didn't dare to slack off, and quickly clinged to Garnett to return to the defense.

Although Lamar did not step forward to defend, he was ready to pounce on the defense at any time just in case he was also following him.

"Stick to him, stick to him!" Coach K also knew that the game was at the most critical time, and shouted to remind Prince.

Garnett's performance just now impressed Coach K too deeply. He also knows that if he is beaten by the Timberwolves, the situation will be more complicated. So he didn't dare to be careless, and waved his hand again and again to signal his players to implement a trap tactic against Kevin Garnett. As for Campbell, he was just an old guy who was eating and waiting to die, and was naturally automatically ignored by Coach K.

When the field turned to positional warfare, Lamar and Prince immediately pinched Garnett.

Garnett's skills are comprehensive, but Prince's defense is not fleshy. In order to stop Garnett, the little prince also used all means. Tricks like mixing feet, pinching meat, pulling clothes, and poking the cheeks and eyes were all used by him at this moment.

Eventually, before the three-point line, Prince blocked Garnett.

"Pass the ball quickly!" Phil Jackson on the sidelines, even if he was dissatisfied with Garnett, couldn't be rash at the moment. After all, he is still the head coach of the Timberwolves, and he will naturally not ignore what he should do.

Garnett, of course, knew he was in a trap at the moment, but he still didn't pass the ball because he didn't trust his teammates?

Garnett broke through with a short body and plunged headlong into the encirclement set by Lamar and Prince, and just when the fans were helpless about Garnett's recklessness, the basketball suddenly came out of the cracks, and the target was the unguarded Campbell.

Campbell had been waiting a little to the left of the top of the three-point line, and although it was unknown if Garnett would pass the ball at this time, the experienced veteran was still ready.

Catch the ball, stabilize your body a little, and then jump out of your hand.

"Huh!"

The basketball hit steadily, proving that on the stage of the finals, no one can be ignored!

Coach K was also very helpless after hitting the ball, but there was nothing he could do, Garnett's threat was so big that he had to take some measures.

Wave over Alonzo Mourning, who had been on the bench for most of the game. Anderson has been scrapped, and now Anderson and Dacomilisic have 5 fouls on their backs, looking at the current situation is really not optimistic, Alonzo Mourning is undoubtedly the last hole card.

"Alonzo, you come on for Samuel and then take the place of Lamar and TayXia to pack Garnett. If he wants to break through, he will foul immediately, and he must not be soft. ”

Alonzo Monin frowned. In his heart, he didn't like the tactics arranged by Coach K, and he felt that he should win the game with dignity instead of using such special methods. However, as a highly qualified professional player, he also knows that the situation facing the team now requires such a special approach. Talking about what Coach K decides, he has no objection at all.

Substitution!

Alonzo Monen came on, and there was an immediate chorus of boos.

When Mourning was young, his iron elbow also caused a lot of bloodshed in Minnesota. Even this season, the old guy also used iron elbows to let the Timberwolves' interior understand the power of the old man during Lamar's absence.

Looking at Mourning's posture when he came on the court, Timberwolves fans were very clear about Coach K's intention to send him to play at this critical moment, so boos were inevitable.

But the first thing to be despised by Timberwolves fans is not Mourning, but Lamar. It's still the same position, it's still the same long-range three-point shot, and of course it's the same result of hollow shots.

"Whew!" After the goal, Lamar slapped his chest and looked up to the sky like Garnett just now.

"Oh! no!" Magic Johnson let out a miserable howl as if he had been hit in the head by a basketball: "Lamar this guy is simply a demon, two three-pointers in a row, look at the faces of the Timberwolves players, they are all scared! It is undeniable that the Timberwolves did a good job just now, but it seems that in the face of a guy like Lamar, all their efforts are worthless!"

Kenny Anderson also used the Magic's point of view, and also explained: "But the biggest threat to the Timberwolves right now is not from Lamar, but from the Knicks' foul tactics. The Knicks have hoarded so much interior this year and now it's finally coming in handy, and Coach K is now completely free to do whatever he wants. But is it really good to use such tactics on the stage of the finals? I don't think Mr. Stern would want to see that!"

Magic Johnson didn't agree with Kenny Anderson's point of view, and after thinking for a while, he retorted: "But you have to admit that this is very effective! In the last round of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Detroit Pistons were worn to death by the Knicks with this trick! The game is to win, and what tactics are used is just support." Besides, the Knicks aren't all on the rough side, just look at Lamar's three-pointers. I think those swingmen who call themselves sharpshooters should be ashamed!"

Kenny Anderson knew that the Magic was sarcastic about himself, and he thought that he was also known for his projection when he was around Olajuwon. Pouting, Kenny Anderson immediately retorted: "Are you sarcastic about Ray Allen? Or are you sarcastic about yourself? Yes! I'm not as good as Lamar! I remember that your three-point shooting percentage doesn't seem to be as good as mine, I'm like this, so aren't you 108,000 miles worse than him? I really don't know how some people can be cheeky and say that they are Lamar's master!"

"You're jealous! I'm Lamar's master, that's something fans all over the world know!" Magic Johnson choked back mercilessly, "Okay, I don't care about this with you." Now let's talk about the game, I don't think the Knicks' current tactics are ugly! Don't forget how you guys dealt with Michael back then, since you could use the Jordan rule to deal with Michael and the shark slashing tactic against Shaq, why can't the Knicks use foul tactics against the Timberwolves? The essence is not all the same!

Two older unscrupulous men are arguing on the sidelines, and the Knicks on the court have begun to encircle Garnett according to Coach K's instructions.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, Garnett was thrown to the ground by Alonzo Monin's very covert takedown. After getting up, Garnett didn't even look at Mourning and went straight to the free throw line. 2k reading web
