Chapter 1228
So in any case, it would be unwise for Dallas to want to compete with the Knicks in China.
At this moment, the Beijing Workers Stadium has become the home of the Knicks.
When a Knicks player scores, the fans in the stadium will shout the player's name, when the Knicks start to defend, the fans will immediately shout in unison, when the Mavericks foul, the fans will boo in unison, and when the Knicks player fouls, they will try to put pressure on the referee.
"Hey, Lamar, I love the fans here!"
At the end of the first half, Dampotter was screaming as soon as he got back to the locker room.
Although the team is only seven points ahead of the Mavericks now, anyone with a discerning eye can predict that if the current trend continues, it will only be a matter of time before the Knicks win.
"Should we suggest that Mr. Dolan move the Knicks' home court to China? The fans here are more enthusiastic than the guys in New York, and most importantly, there are more people. To be honest, everything here fascinates me. Look at those fans out there, those bastards in Dallas have become their enemies tonight!"
Although Dampoter's words are very joking, it is undeniable that it is true.
The Knicks have also benefited a lot from these Chinese fans, and it can be said that the Knicks have occupied the right place tonight.
After the start of the third quarter, Lamar sat on the bench to rest.
Although without Lamar as the anchor, the Knicks still played the offense well under the leadership of Wade and Billups. Even when the main team of the Dallas Mavericks came off the break, the score was once stretched to more than 15 points.
It's a pity that with the return of the Mavericks' main players, and the Knicks lack such a strong scoring point as Lamar, so at the end of the third quarter, the Knicks have been taken advantage of by the Mavericks to recover a lot of points.
At this time, the third quarter of the game had reached the final three minutes, and the situation on the court was gradually developing in favor of the Mavericks.
Seeing that the situation of the Knicks was a little unfavorable, Coach K couldn't sit still and couldn't help but glance back at Lamar.
Lamar, however, was still intently observing the form on the field as if he was not aware of it at all.
Lamar knows what Coach K means, but he also has his own ideas.
Although the Knicks have made brilliant achievements in the past two years, after all, it still happens from time to time that the chain is always dropped at critical moments. The best way to change that is to get these guys on the pitch to get their workouts.
Coach K is obviously also aware of the problems that the Knicks have now, so he acquiesced to Lamar's statement when Lamar did not respond to him.
However, seeing that the team's condition is getting worse and worse, Coach K is also a little hesitant, so he can only look at Lamar with hopeful eyes.
"Lamar!" Coach K sat down next to Lamar and asked softly, "The situation is not good, when are you going to clean up the mess?"
Lamar also knew what Coach K meant, but his eyes were always on the every move of his teammates on the court: "I'm naturally ready to play at any time, but do you think it's a good time to play?"
Coach K looked at the arena and said with a wry smile: "I don't want to lose tonight's game, these guys in Dallas are really not worrying." It seems that your rest can only end here. Although Dwyanne played bravely, they were obviously still a little immature in terms of the strength of the overall control of the court. ”
Lamar smiled indifferently, threw the towel on his body aside, stood up and moved his body slightly, and then walked to the sidelines: "Coach, I'm just waiting for your words, to be honest, I'm a little impatient! ”
The fans at the scene watched the original point difference gradually being caught up by the Dallas Mavericks, and even overtaken, and began to sit still. Some fans even started chanting Lamar's name.
Now that Lamar was finally on the pitch, there was a burst of cheers in the arena. Truth be told, at least eighty percent of tonight's fans came for Lamar, an NBA superstar.
"Lamar, Lamar, Lamar, Lamar!" more and more fans stood up and shouted Lamar's name.
The Knicks players on the court also seem to have been infected, and the momentum that was originally suppressed by the Dallas Mavericks was reinvigorated.
Gary Payton made a ground-hitting pass and got it into the hands of Mourning on the inside.
Veteran Mourning wasn't greedy either, and after attracting a two-man bag from Nowitzki and Diop, he used a behind-the-back pass to stuff the ball to Haslem near the penalty line.
Haslem took the ball in a big stride as he received it, then leaped to his feet and slammed it into the net with a tomahawk dunk.
"Bang!" and the basket was crumbling by Haslem.
The fans at the scene saw the Knicks players come to such a cheering dunk, and the original shouts were even louder.
After landing on the ground, Haslem also rarely slammed twice on his chest, and finally reached out to point at Lamar on the sidelines.
Lamar also clapped his hands with a smile and shouted, "Good job, man!"
Taking advantage of the deadball, the Knicks made a substitution, and Lamar came on for Haslem.
At this time, the Knicks' on-court lineup became center Alonzo Mourning, power forward Lamar Odom, small forward Sean Battier, scoring guard John Salmons, and point guard Gary Payton.
There wasn't much of a change on the Mavericks' side, except that Diop remained on the court, replacing Dampier, the messy second center who had been a mess.
With a high-handed slap to the departing Haslem, Lamar was back on the field.
Nowitzki, the boss of the Mavericks, couldn't help but frown when he saw Lamar on the court. Dirk was so tired in this game that he only had a three-minute break in the second quarter so far.
Johnson, the young general on the sidelines, was thinking about strategy as early as Lamar stepped onto the technical table, and he also knew that his ace Dek Nowitzki was tired, but he had to keep him on the court because this was the only superstar of the Mavericks who could counterbalance Lamar.
When Lamar is off the court, the Knicks can still rely on Dwyane's impact and Chauncey Billups' calm full-court scheduling to play a war of attrition with the opposing team.
But if the Mavericks don't have Nowitzki, the offensive core, then the offensive efficiency of the entire Dallas team will drop by at least a few notches.
Whether Nowitzki is tired like a dog now, or whether General Johnson is heartbroken about the Mavericks' rotation, the game has started again.
Jason Terry had just dribbled the ball to the halfway line when Gary Payton pounced.
Terry was clearly unprepared for the old glove's almost frantic urgency, and the speed of his dribble slowed down for a moment.
Although Gary Payton is old and not as quick to react as he used to be, his defensive skills are still old. At this time, seeing that his tight defense made Terry show his flaws, he immediately made a shot at the first time.
Fast as lightning!
"Smack!", almost at the same time as Gary Payton broke the ball, Lamar pounced forward and scooped the ball in his hand.
Lamar dribbled the ball forward and leapt high as soon as he stepped onto the free-throw line, dunking the ball into the basket with one arm.
It's been a long time since the start of the second half for the Knicks to deliver such a spectacular dunk in a game. (Haslem's tomahawk clasp just now doesn't count)
The audience burst into jubilation and shouted Lamar's name loudly again.
After the goal, Lamar stepped back and looked at Cuban in the stand.
After seeing Kuban's gaze at him, Lamar tilted his head defiantly, then slapped the air again.
Although Lamar's slap was aimed at the air, Kuban felt that his face had been hit solidly, and his whole face turned red. If it weren't for his own image, he would have jumped into the arena by now to stage a live PK with Lamar.
The head coach of the Mavericks was obviously also a little dissatisfied with Terry's mistake just now, so he shouted again on the sidelines, regardless of his image: "Jason, you can't even deal with an old guy who is about to retire! If you make such a mistake again next time, then you will be off, I can't afford to lose that face!"
Gary Payton apparently heard Johnson's words and was about to retire old guy?
Old Peyton had already made up his mind to make the Dallas, who despised him, look good.
After Johnson's reprimand, Terry was obviously much more careful this time, protecting the ball with his body while dribbling, and slowly advancing towards the Knicks' half.
Seeing the Mavericks' cautious and adversary, Gary Payton smiled disdainfully and raised two fingers with his left hand.
Sean Battier nodded after getting it, and immediately gave up on following the defense, and Van Horne, who ran over with Payton Sr. to sandwich Terry in the middle.
Terry was forced by the sudden packs of two experienced defenders, Battier and Payton, who wanted to pass the ball but was not tall enough, and all the passing routes were blocked by the two.
"Pass the ball!"
Seeing that the team seemed to be in trouble again, Johnson, who was standing on the sidelines, was also in a hurry, and in desperation, the lion's roar reappeared.
Maybe it was the lion's roar that smiled, but Terry, who was originally forced by the Knicks, suddenly jumped up at the last and threw the ball at Harris, who was running over to catch it.
It's a pity that Terry's pass was too sudden, and the distance was a bit outrageous. So although Harris reacted, he was still some distance away from the direction of the basketball, and finally could only watch the basketball fly out of the sideline.
"Well done!"
Although the ball was not successful, it also caused a passing error by the Dallasians, so the defense was still very successful. 2k reading web
