Although there is a big gap with Lamar in terms of physical fitness, relying on the accumulation of more than ten years in the league, Jackson also has an almost master-level defense.

When he was in the Dallas Mavericks, he was the best defensive among the Dallas Three Musketeers, and later joined the Knicks and worked under defensive master Fan Gandy, at this time Jackson's defensive skills are naturally not weak.

As before, Lamar stopped outside the three-point line and watched as his teammates kept tugging back and forth on the Rockets' defense.

Lamar didn't move, and Jackson naturally wouldn't make the first move. As for Lamar's attack power, now that the alliance has been recognized, it is basically unsolvable. It's almost impossible to really defend Lamar in the middle of the game. But even so, Jackson still doesn't plan to give up, even if it can only slow down Lamar's offensive tempo.

"Don't be nervous!" Lamar looked very relaxed, relaxed and even a little rampant: "You're best at three-pointers, right? ”

Before Lamar's words could be spoken, Billups' pass arrived. Lamar reached out to take the basketball, held it horizontally in front of his chest, and suddenly swung horizontally, making a feint to break through.

I don't know if it's because Lamar's feints are too realistic, Jackson really fell for it, and his body involuntarily moved.

Lamar was waiting for this opportunity!

The opportunity was fleeting, Lamar naturally did not let it go, the light in his eyes burst out, his body slammed upward, and he jumped up without warning.

Lamar ignored Jackson's defense and pulled a three-pointer in front of him. In the face of such a humiliating provocation by Lamar, the arrogant Jackson was completely annoyed.

At the same time as Lamar jumped, Jackson's body also reacted quickly, and he jumped up just as a spring that had been compressed for a long time finally removed the external force. Jackson's arm was raised in the air, and his palm was directly fanned against the basketball in Lamar's hand.

"Oh no!" Van Gundy exclaimed on the sidelines, in his opinion that Lamar was too big just now.

Jackson used to be his proud disciple, and although his form has dropped slightly in the last two years, he is still a star player after all. Based on what Van Gundy knew about Jackson, this guy was obviously really angry now. Once a player with such a rebellious temperament is provoked, the burst of energy will be very amazing.

Van Gundy's worries, though ignored, were clearly inapplicable to Lamar at the moment, and his energy was not limited to that.

Seeing that Jackson's hand was getting closer to the basketball, some fans close to the court had already stood up. The fans looked like they were going to cheer for a beautiful block to come, but before they could put that wish into action, there was a subtle change between the two men who were battling it out on the court.

Like a feather blown by the wind, Lamar's body suddenly tilted backwards, and the basketball in his hand still didn't shoot, he looked very relaxed. Now all this is exactly what he expected.

"You're naïve!" Lamar didn't say anything, but Lamar's mouth was clearly revealing such a message.

Jackson was shocked, it was impossible to make a new move at this time. Jackson knew that this was his limit, his body was falling, and although he tried to stretch his arm, the palm he fanned out still slid past the basketball, grabbing only a trace of air.

"What a terrifying ability to stay in the air!"

The shock in Jackson's heart can no longer be described in words! Although the battle between the two of them seemed to the onlookers to be just a momentary occurrence, only when he was there was an immersive feeling that Lamar's ability to stay in the air had indeed reached the point where it could only be described as terrifying.

The moment Jackson's fingertips slid over, Lamar struck, and with a flick of his wrist, his fingertips slid across the bottom of the basketball, which was thrown high and flew straight to the basket in a perfect arc.

Instead of rushing back as he used to be, Lamar raised his right arm and watched as if enjoying the basketball until it landed in the net.

"Huh!"

The sound of the basketball passing through the net surprised the Houston fans in the Toyota Center, and it was so exciting that Jackson had done everything he could, but Lamar's performance was even better.

Seeing that the morale of the players was hit, Tomjanovic stood up expressionlessly, shouted loudly twice, and then pressed down with both hands, signaling the players to drag the rhythm of the game and try to be steady.

For Tomjanovich's decision, Mobley was naturally a hundred, a thousand, and ten thousand unwilling in his heart, but there was no way! In the face of an iron-blooded meritorious head coach like Tomjanovich, even the most big-name players can only obediently bow their heads.

When attacking again, the Rockets players really resolutely implemented Tomjanovich's tactical thinking, and steadily pushed the ball through the half.

The basketball was first passed in the hands of Francis, Mobley, and Jackson, and then again by Mobley to the hands of the inside drug.

Seeing that the rocket was about to repeat the old trick again, Van Gundy yelled and instructed Davis and Wang Zhi to wrap up the name of the drug. As for Morris Taylor, a guy who gets a big contract and then becomes a ball, it's not worth Van Gundy's worries at all.

was sandwiched by the Knicks' two major interior lines, and the drug name that has been baptized for half a season is not afraid. Leaning straight over the two defenders, trying to use his nimble footwork to decide the winner, he forgot that his threat wasn't just behind his back.

"Smack!"

All his attention was on the names of the drugs on Davis and Wang Zhiguo behind him, and he didn't notice that Billups had quietly moved in front of him. Chauncy suddenly reached out and took advantage of the drug's surprise and snatched the ball down.

"Attack!"

Lamar took a few steps forward to control the ball in his hands, shouted and ran forward.

The Knicks are not like their opponent today, the Rockets, who play positional battles on every ball and play the so-called tactics before attacking.

In the eyes of the Knicks' players, the most important thing in basketball is to rely on the players who play, and as for the head coach's tactics, they can only refer to them at most.

Before Lamar gave the order, Houston and Billups had already rushed ahead of the curve, and the Rockets had only one Francis left before they had time to return to defense.

Lamar observes for a moment, then suddenly raises his hand and throws the ball forward and passes it to Houston.

Francis now had nothing to do but keep backing away. He's not a good defender, not to mention the fact that a three-on-one situation has been formed in the front court at this time. Now his role is to serve as a background to make the Knicks' quick counterattack look a little more vivid.

Alan Houston could have attacked the basket directly after receiving the ball, and with his height and strength advantage, Francis would not be a match for this guy. However, the king of the pitch did not take credit, but passed the ball horizontally to Billups, who had a bigger space on the other side.

Billups was already on the road at this point, and he could have thrown the ball into the basket with all his tricks, but Flounder didn't do it either. Maybe he couldn't play fancy dunks, but after receiving the ball, Chauncy immediately threw the ball behind his head, and then his body was short and almost half-squatted on the ground.

"Ahh

After Billups crouched down, a loud shout rang out in the air, and Lamar, who had been prepared for a long time, was most prepared the moment Billups passed the ball.

Lamar leaped high to meet the basket, caught the basketball in the air and passed Billups, then held the ball high with one arm and pulled his body into a bow in the air.

Francis, who had retreated to the basket, saw Lamar flying towards him menacingly, and he was already frightened, and retreated to the side with interest, holding his head involuntarily with both hands.

"Boom!"

Francis's wise move saved him from the humiliation of Lamar's crotch. But Steve Francis also became the perfect backdrop for this top five.

Francis patted his chest with trepidation, believing that if he stood under the basket in a daze, Lamar would never take the opportunity to knock him away, but would use a more insulting move and fly his legs over his head.

Although Westerners don't have a deep meaning for crotch humiliation, it is just as humiliating after all, let alone in front of so many Houston fans.

While rejoicing, Francis also stepped forward to question Lamar: Is this how you treat your friends?

But due to Lamar's temper, Francis decided that he should not be troublesome, so he glared at Lamar fiercely and prepared to attack.

Lamar glanced at Francis a little puzzled after landing, isn't this the SF3 he is familiar with? Shouldn't this guy complain to himself now? It seems that after all this, our Boss Francis has also grown up!

Seeing that the team was beaten with a small counterattack, Tomjanovic was a little anxious, but he was not in a hurry to call a timeout, but kept signaling the players on the field to stabilize and play slowly!

It's just that Francis, who has been provoked by Lamar's several provocations, doesn't want to just give up. Although he knows that the current Rockets and Knicks are not the same level team, and the Rockets are destined to swallow the bitter fruit of defeat in tonight's game, this does not prevent him from having a good competition with Lamar.

"Humiliate him with dazzling ball control and dribbling!" Francis made up his mind the moment he received the pass: "Compared to Lamar, who is tall, Francis knows that his advantage against this guy is his dribbling and speed." ”！
