Chapter 398
Lamar smiled indifferently, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course! We Knicks have always respected referees. ”
When several referees heard this, they almost spurted blood to death, if even you know how to respect the referee, then the big worm Rodman has become a good child!
The referee on duty also knew that he could not give too heavy a sentence at this time, and if he really punished a few, the game would soon turn into a scuffle!
The referee, who had made up his mind, simply ignored the clash between the two sides and only awarded Lamar an offensive foul.
Lamar didn't say anything about the penalty, just nodded and accepted it. After all, at this time, the Mavericks' two major interior lines are all cups, and I am afraid that the Mavericks' basket will become a stage for Knicks players for a long time.
From the beginning of the conflict, the managers of both sides all stood with their shoulders on the side and watched, without any reaction at all, and no one could see through what they were thinking.
When the game restarted, Van Gundy finally got into action, only to see him raise his arm and swing a few times towards the Mavericks' half.
The players on the Knicks court immediately realized that at this time, the Mavericks' most threatening interior firepower point, Nowitzki, was gone, and the biggest defensive barrier on the interior was also treated by the team doctor off the court. This is a good opportunity for his own points, so Van Gundy just wants to do it with the Dallas Mavericks in one go.
"Guys, let's attack!" Chauncey shouted, taking the lead in charging towards Nash, who was advancing in possession.
When Nash heard Chauncey's words, he was also secretly wondering. Now they're on offense, the Knicks are on defense, what does Chauncey mean by that?
Before he could react, Chauncey had already rushed in front of him.
"Not good!"
Realizing the danger, Nash wanted to control the ball, but it was too late, Nash only felt that the ball in his hand was nowhere to be found, and when he looked up, he saw that Chauncey had rushed to their basket, jumped up, and made a layup.
"All eyes on the Dallas clown in front of you, don't back down!" Lamar shouted, naturally finding another boo, but he didn't care at all, and continued to shout: "The whole audience is pressing, and everyone is in their positions." We're going to lead them by double digits before the end of the first quarter!"
"Don't look down on people, boy!"
This is probably the most real and urgent thought in the hearts of the Mavericks at this moment, the clay people still have three points of earthiness, not to mention the stars who have long been famous in the NBA.
But Lamar's contempt proved absolutely justified. Losing Nowitzki and Dampier, the two pillars of the interior line, the Mavericks, who could only rely on the outside, looked panicked in front of the Knicks' oppressive defense, and soon the basketball was broken by Alan Houston when it was passing, and then the mid-range shooting king also staged a dragon, which was a good time.
"Hold it down! Let's take our time and get back the points we lost. ”
Nash's breathing is getting a little heavy at the moment, and he can only use this way to calm down his teammates and not fall into the Knicks' way.
"Want to be slow?!How can it be so easy!"
Now the Knicks are using this full-court tight defensive formation, but Van Gundy and Thibodeau have specially researched it, and with the position between these five people, the five Mavericks are completely separated, and it has become a very difficult thing to pass.
Van Gundy, who was on the sidelines, also nodded secretly at the performance of his disciples, watching Lamar keep directing his teammates to move, and he vaguely saw Patrick Ewing in Lamar's body. With the same innate leadership qualities, Van Gundy believes it won't be long before a basketball superstar will emerge from him and shock the entire league.
Lamar also knew that the price of doing so was a drastic physical exertion, but the price was worth it in his eyes. If you want to win this game, you must take advantage of the fact that the main interior of the Dallas Mavericks is not on the court to widen the score gap as much as possible.
It's not that he's afraid of that Nowitzki, it's just that the mid-shot of that German classic car is simply a bug. Although Dirk's Golden Rooster independence has not yet reached the point of 100 shots, with the current Knicks in the interior lineup. No one can defend against him at all, and once he is beaten out of momentum, in that case, the situation of the Knicks will not be good.
"Dek Nowitzki?!"
Lamar suddenly saw Nowitzki returning to the sidelines, and thought he would play immediately, but who knew that he actually sat down on the bench. It looks like Nelson Sr. has given up on letting Nowitzki play in the first quarter. His idea was to wait until the second quarter to crush the Knicks in a physically energetic German tank.
"Since you're not playing, you're welcome. ”
Lamar sneered and continued to direct his teammates to strengthen the attack, which was not only offensive but also defensive. A team of madmen who guarantee his aggression no matter what the situation.
"Coach, that kid is going to throw us off in the first quarter?!!" Nowitzki asked Nelson Sr., who was sitting next to him, as he watched the situation on the court.
"Dirk, now you have to be patient, just let them go crazy first!"
Knicks players today aren't just rampant.
Lamar looked at Nowitzki, sneered and muttered, "See how long you can endure it?"
In the next period of time, the Knicks' offense became even more frenzied, and even the defense was like a pack of hungry wolves, frantically pounced on the Mavericks players to snatch the basketball in the hands of the Mavericks.
Lamar made another successful break, which was already Lamar's third steal of the game, and then he played a dragon play again, hitting the ball into the basket fiercely.
After landing on the ground, Lamar glanced at Nowitzki, who was sitting on the Mavericks' bench, and said loudly with a sneer: "Lao Tzu is not only going to kill your people today, but also demolishing your temple and destroying your land! ”
Although he didn't hear everything Lamar said, Nowitzki stood up and shouted for him to play when he saw Lamar's contemptuous eyes when he faced him.
"Calm down!" old Nelson dropped a sentence coldly, sounding like there was an irrefutable taste, "It's not time yet. ”
With a red light at the end of the first quarter, Lamar hit another buzzer-beating three-pointer to widen the gap to 13 points.
Without Nowitzki, the absolute offensive core, the Mavericks were not only unusually weak in attack in the first quarter of the game, but also full of holes in defense. Especially on the inside, it has completely become the world of the Knicks.
Whether it's Dampot, who is a staunch defender on the inside, or Lamar, or even McDyes, who came off the bench late in the first quarter, they can easily score under the Mavericks' basket.
At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks' top scorer was not Lamar, but Darmsporter, who had no offensive ability and had been the team's defensive gate. Dampier has a series of tragedies, and Nowitzki was also accidentally teased by him for a while, and the direct consequence of the dethronement of these two people is that Damppot dominates the basket, and no one can stop him.
"That's so cool!" said Dampott, grinning from the bench as he scored 12 points in just one quarter, something he'd never had in a game before.
Lamar glanced at Jeff Van Gundy and asked, "Are we going to continue to play inside in the second quarter?"
"Of course!" Before Van Gundy could speak, Dampot shouted first, "Lamar, don't you see how badly those guys are abused by me?
After speaking, he looked at Jeff in contemplation with an expectant expression, he finally had the opportunity to be so cool as today, he didn't want to miss it.
"No!" Jackson shattered Dampoter's hopes as soon as he spoke, "In the second quarter, our main offensive direction is on the outside, Lamar you should know how to do it?"
"Of course!" Lamar nodded, knowing that Jackson was not letting him regain his free fire, but making him the core of the team's offensive playmaking on the court, using his abilities to mobilize the whole team.
"Why?" asked Dampot, puzzled, with a hint of displeasure in his tone.
Jackson looked at Dampot and said in a deep voice: "Do you think the Mavericks will not make changes for you in the second quarter? Don't underestimate his head coach, although that old guy is old, but he is not stupid, as a head coach, he can already rank among the top few in the league." And the two big men on their inside, they only fell for you! When they calm down, they will definitely launch a counterattack, especially their interior ace Nowitzki, who is not only powerful in mid-range shooting. ”
Dampotter listened and quibbled, "I believe I can deal with him." ”
Van Gundy smiled and shook his head and said, "If Lamar hadn't been playing for you in the first quarter, do you think you could have scored so many points?"
Although Damppot was depressed, he was also silent after a period of calmness, and since the coach had made arrangements, he could only agree.
Lamar didn't care about his younger brother's dissatisfaction. He understands Dampot's temper and is only unhappy because as a basketball player and a young man, who doesn't want to have more opportunities to perform.
Now Van Gundy has given him the responsibility of organizing the team's attack, and he doesn't want to press anyone. He believed that that frustration would disappear when Dhampote now had an easier time scoring with his organization.
Lamar's full attention is now focused on Nowitzki, who is about to play against him, and when he sees the German tank with a gloomy face, he knows that he has just been trained by old Nelson.
