Chapter 401

Alan Houston smiled and punched Lamar before retreating to his position and waiting for the Dallas Bulls to attack.

The Dallas Bulls' offense still revolves around Nowitzki, with Nash hoisting the ball inside. At this time, the Nuo Heavenly King, who had already gone crazy, raised his hand and threw it without reason, completely ignoring the giant palm that Dampotter fanned over.

"Smack!" Dampott reached Nowitzki's hand.

"Whew!" Still, the basketball hit steadily.

"Beep beep!" the referee's hand pointed to Dampoter without any doubt, and the batter fouled and added a free throw.

"Whew!" Nowitzki hit the ball, and the deficit was back to three points.

The Knicks attacked again, still with Lamar in possession, Nowitzki defending frontally, and Michael Finley on the sidelines keeping an eye on the side ready to catch the leak, and it looked like Alan Houston's three-pointer just now still didn't catch their attention.

Seeing this, Lamar copied the offensive routine he had just made, moved laterally, and after attracting Finley's attention again, he jumped up and passed the ball to the unmarked Houston again. Finley stopped suddenly, looked back at Houston, who had already jumped up, and kept muttering in his heart: "It was just a coincidence, just a coincidence!"

But the result was destined to disappoint him, and the basketball didn't even leave people with the slightest suspense, and it got into the net cleanly.

The old Nelson on the sidelines also had to put away his contempt at this time, and began to face up to this Knicks veteran who had not been taken seriously by him before. Nelson Sr. shouted Finley's name from the sidelines, then pointed at Houston and motioned for him to hold on.

Seeing this, Van Gundy on the other side smiled in his heart: "Do you think this is the way to go? It seems that you still don't realize how big a mistake you have made." ”

When the Bulls attacked, Finley reached out to Nash for the ball, and he wanted to fight back.

"Smack!"

Before Finley could play to his speed advantage, there was a crisp sound, and the basketball in his hand suddenly broke out of his control. By the time he could react, Houston had picked up the long ball that Battier had poked out and sent it to Lamar, who was able to complete the one-stop attack with ease.

"Houston didn't give way because he didn't have the strength, he will die a miserable death!" Lamar couldn't help but laugh in his heart, as a reborn, of course he knew the strength of the Zhongtou King who was still in his prime. Before he was injured, this guy was a rare super outside line in the league, don't look at his peasant appearance, if anyone thinks he is an honest man, it is very wrong! This guy is best at pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, otherwise how can a civilized gentleman survive in the bastard Knicks, and still firmly occupy the position of the second leader.

"Calm down!" Nelson Sr. stood up and walked to the sideline, pressing down with both hands: "Give the ball to Dirk, and we'll continue to play inside!"

I have to say, Nelson Sr.'s decision is very correct, and only by concentrating the ball to score the most sure is the king to win.

Nowitzki also lived up to the manager's trust, hitting another mid-range shot to cut the score to six points.

"This guy is really difficult to deal with! I only knew that he was powerful before, but who knew that he was so powerful, that mid-range shot was so stable that it made people crazy. Dampott looked a little out of breath, which was new to the normally energetic guy.

Lamar knew that Dampot was more of a psychological stress at this point. But he couldn't do anything, first of all, he had to obey the manager's arrangement, and secondly, he had to take into account the pride of the Haitians! Once it feels hot, it is hot, but once he suffers a setback, he dies faster than anyone else, and then puts pressure on him. ”

Dampott's head, he knew that this was the only way to do it.

The Knicks continued to attack, but Billups still handed the ball to Lamar after halftime and pulled it to the side. All he can do now is pull away a defender and take a burden off Lamar.

Finley didn't dare to be careless this time, although he still couldn't worry about Lamar, but his current defensive position is obviously closer to Houston, and it is no longer realistic for Houston to have the opportunity to shoot in an empty position like just now.

But will it be hard to get Houston in this way?

Lamar stood at the arc of the three-point line of the Dallas Bulls in the half with the ball, looked at Nowitzki in front of him, and suddenly raised his hand and waved.

Dampot, who was on the inside, immediately pulled out and made a gesture to block Lamar.

Dampier didn't dare to slack off, his footsteps moved outside, and now Finley's attention had been drawn to Houston, as the second line of defense against Lamar, and now he could only play it.

On the other side of the basket, Sean Battier also moved outside at the same time, he has the ability to shoot, and Devin George also came out to defend.

There was a vacuum in the basket of the Dallas cattle for a while.

This is the time!

Lamar spotted his chance and threw the ball in the direction of the basket.

The Dallas Bulls players were stunned, Darm Porter and Battier were not under the basket, who was the ball passed to? Could it be that the Knicks made a mistake in their coordination?

Soon a loud bang behind him gave the answer.

I saw Alan Houston hanging on it, still looking at them calmly.

Houston is indeed not as fast as Finley, but his advantages in height, weight, and strength are indeed unshakable by Finley. When the Knicks' two interior players were on the outside, he spotted the space under the bull basket. Without thinking much about it, he shook off Finley and went straight to the basket with a slight squeeze, knowing that Lamar's pass would definitely come.

As he thought, Lamar's pass arrived, and it was in the position where he was most comfortable receiving the ball, and the next thing he had to do was simple.

In just three minutes, the second Knicks leader, who had been ignored before, made his most powerful counterattack and burst out with the greatest energy!

The Dallas people finally paid the price for their underestimating opponents! The second Knicks who they hadn't paid attention to before stood up when they were most full of ambition to take out the Knicks in one go! Alan Houston's outburst broke the Knicks' deadlock on the offensive end since the beginning of the second quarter and pulled the game back on the right path.

Nelson Sr. looked at the analysis report handed over by his assistant, which detailed Allan Houston's performance in the game after Lamar joined the Knicks. Indeed, as he thought before, Alan Houston has indeed changed a lot, completely lacking the amazing performance of the inside and outside shooting like in previous seasons, and honestly not attracting attention at all. But after looking at his statistics in the regular season, he realized how wrong he was.

Averaged .7 points, 6 assists, and 4.7 rebounds per game!

Alan Houston actually got such a comprehensive data in a quiet state, although it is far from gorgeous, but this data is undoubtedly very helpful to the team.

Connected with Houston's expressionless face, old Nelson couldn't help but think of a stone Buddha Duncan.

Although they are in different positions, their style of play is indeed so close, the same unpretentious, the same low-key, the same efficiency.

On the other side, Jeff Van Gundy was very proud at this time, he was proud of the decision he made at the beginning, Lamar and Houston can be accommodated, of course, the dominant will be Lamar!

He really admires Houston as his former disciple, and what Houston relies on most is his stability and solid fundamentals, especially his accurate mid-range shooting and dexterous no-ask running skills.

Jeff Van Gundy believes that Alan Houston can do without possession! Based on this alone, Van Gundy believes that Houston is actually a better fit for Lamar than Kobe or Carter, because there can always be only one controller Lamar in his system.

Now that Alain has done his job, it's up to you, you're the real protagonist of this game!"

Houston's scoring streak opened up the gap again, but the format of the game didn't redirect in the Knicks' favor.

After a brief period of remorse, the elder Nelson also reacted quickly, with Devon George specifically targeting Alan Houston, and Finley taking charge of the slightly weaker Sean Battier, and everything else going on as usual.

From the beginning of the second quarter, the Bulls, who were firmly executing the offensive tactics around the German tank Nowitzki, did not have to worry about scoring at all. This has drunk chicken blood, and he can fry eggs in the palm of his hand, and it seems that he has made up his mind to promote the promising career of soft eggs, and every time he attacks, he just doesn't have a hard time with Dampoter, who defends him, either shoots from mid-range, or runs to the three-point line to put three points, or he will stage an enlarged version of the pull ball and turn around. Frustrated, Dampotter just wanted to hold Nowitzki's legs and throw him to the ground and give him a bang.

"Damn it, damn coward, can't you just take me face to face?"

Dampott's nostrils were puffing smoke, and he looked more like a cow.

"Stupid!" Lamar rolled his eyes and scolded, "Do you think he's an idiot? ”

I don't know if it was to provoke Nowitzki or what, he said it so loudly that almost everyone on the field could hear it. (To be continued.) )
