"Haha, good luck then!" Lamar said and stood up, then grabbed his clothes on the ground, "Would you like to go and eat something, Vanessa's cooking skills are terrible, but the apple pie is still good." Ranwen? ?? ．?ｒ?ａ?ｎ?? ｅ?ｎ `ｏｒｇ”

When Lamar woke up the next day, Carter was gone.

Lamar spent the night drinking with Carter last night, Lamar doesn't have many confidants in this league, and Carter happens to be one of them. The friendship between the two began at the Olympics.

Vanessa walked over and handed Lamar a note, saying that Lamar and Carter had such a good relationship that even Vanessa was a little jealous.

"If I wasn't your girlfriend, I'd really suspect that you two are gay!"

Lamar smiled and didn't mind, taking the note.

"Lamar, I'm going fishing with you in the offseason when I win the championship! ”

Finding that Lamar's face had changed a little, Vanessa smiled and said, "Your relationship doesn't seem to be so good!"

"Of course, this guy is cursing me for not making it through the second round. ”

After a two-day break, the NBA was back in the air.

The teams of the East and West fought each other again, and fought again for the final promotion spot.

The New York Knicks' home game against the Detroit Pistons was placed in the first game.

Although the Knicks have home-court advantage, the confidence that they will win this game is not so strong, and Las Vegas gamblers are more on Detroit. You must know that Detroit upset and defeated the championship favorite Philadelphia 76.

The Knicks, on the other hand, were not so optimistic about their future due to their performance in the last two games against the Boston Celtics.

The Knicks can deal with the Boston Celtics because against the Boston Celtics, as long as they can suppress the twin stars of Paul Pierce and Anthony Walker, the victory is basically certain.

But the Pistons are different, they focus more on the team's defense and play basketball as a whole.

Everyone has seen the power of the inside line composed of Roaring Tianzun and Big Ben, and the two of them attack and defend, complement each other, and operate the piston's inside line like an iron bucket. There are even people who think that the current O'Neal will have a headache in the face of such an inside line.

In terms of strength on the inside, except for the Lakers and Spurs in the past two years, there is really no one who can compete with the Pistons.

When it comes to one-on-one, facing Ben Wallace's defense, even the wolf king Garnett and Shifo Duncan will feel difficult, let alone a Haitian who has not yet fully grown up.

In addition to them, the Pistons are also good at other positions, small forward Prince Prince. This player may be one of the most underrated outside players in the NBA today.

There is also scoring guard Jerry Starkerhouse, whose strength is still worthy of everyone's attention, not only can play multiple positions, but also has a very good mid-range shooting skills.

Then there is the main point guard Lindsey Hunter, because of Lamar's butterfly, Billups did not go to the Pistons to hug the thick legs. Originally, Billups' substitute Hunter also occupied a starting spot.

Although Hunter's stats have regressed this season, he is still the most reassuring part of the Pistons.

In addition to these starters, the Pistons also have good players like Dale Davis, Tony Decker, and Morris Evans sitting on the bench.

Unlike the Knicks bench, most of the Pistons' bench players are experienced guys, and they can definitely be called strong.

On the morning of the game, the Pistons arrived in New York. As soon as he got off the plane, Rashid Wallace expressed his confidence that the trip would be successful.

"The Knicks are a respectable player, they're very strong, we're going to fight with 100 percent, Lamar is a strong player. As we all know, I don't have a very good relationship with him, and of course everyone knows that guy doesn't have many friends in the league who can talk to him!"

"What I'm looking forward to the most for today's fight is against Lamar, it's exciting to think about. As for the result, do you think we're here to taste defeat? I think my brothers and I are ready to celebrate. ”

As soon as Rasheed Wallace finished speaking, Ben Wallace, who was standing behind him, couldn't wait to add: "I heard that New York has picked a good rookie this year, and the purpose of my coming today is to tear that little rookie to shreds." ”

Ben Wallace's hilarious explosive hairstyle and funny facial expressions make Big Ben look like a stand-up comedian performing.

"Hahahaha!"

Lamar couldn't help but laugh out loud as he watched Rashid Wallace look on TV.

Dampott, who was treated like a rookie, turned off the TV with a red face and complained, "Lamar! I don't think it's funny at all." If the guy who wasn't chosen, if he wants to eat me, come and see if he tore me apart, or if I break his old bones!"

Seeing Dampoter's angry look, Lamar was a little more confident about tonight's game.

It's always better to be angry than to be scared and shiver! Although Lamar doesn't think Dampotter can deal with Ben Wallace right now, at least an angry Dampoter can still get Big Ben in some trouble.

When Dampott was done, Lamar stood up and clapped his hands and said, "Alright, guys! And they sent us a war letter, unfortunately for now, these guys are really a little better than us, there is no way that they are now fully staffed. ”

Lamar said, focusing on Sean Battier, who was acting as a sparring partner, and Antonio Davis, who was on crutches.

Davis snorted and turned his head away, and Battier didn't understand who Lamar was talking about.

"But I'm going to say the same old saying, basketball beaters only allow five people on the court, they're just an army, and we're only going to have five enemies at the same time. ”

Lamar said as he walked over to Houston's side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Alain, if I'm right, your opponent tonight is Stark House." This guy is going to beat you to the ground. Ever since the Pistons traded Grant, this guy has been arrogant. Tonight is your chance to prove yourself! When the game comes, Chauncey and I will try to pass the ball to you, and then you will tell him how big the gap is between professional and amateur. ”

Alan Houston clenched his fist and nodded quickly.

In the past, Houston has always appeared as a helper next to Lamar, and his offensive talent has not been fully displayed at all.

Now that the opportunity has come, as a star who has been famous for many years, it is difficult for him to suppress his excitement.

Then Lamar went to Shanton Anderson: "Shanton, your opponent is Prince, he has a better height and arm span than you, and his defense is not bad. But he's still a rookie, you just have to watch out for his shots. ”

Shanton Anderson just nodded, and then closed his eyes and recalled Prince's performance in the previous game against the Pistons.

Finally he came to Billups: "Chauncey, don't show mercy to your men!

Billups smiled lightly, "Of course, I've already put him in my pocket!"

Although Billups is not strong in attack, he is still handy against second-rate players like Lindsay Hunter. In fact, when it comes to playing skills, Lindsay Hunt is no matter how good he is, and there is a big gap compared to Billups, a ball ruffian.

"All right! Remember your opponents. We'll give them a taste of failure tonight!"

"Hey, Lamar, and me, why don't you tell me?" Dampott jumped up and shouted in dissatisfaction, "Or are you not worried at all." ”

Lamar looked at Dampott and said for a long time, "I sympathize with you!"

"Hahahahaha

Soon it was time for the evening game, and although tens of thousands of New York fans still gathered outside the Madison Square Garden arena, the expressions on their faces were noticeably less relaxed than they had been against the Boston Celtics.

Perhaps they also feel that the Knicks and the strong Pistons met with bad luck.

But even so, the enthusiasm of New Yorkers is still hot.

After all, the future of the Knicks is bright, although everyone likes the championship, but with the current situation of the Knicks, this goal is still a bit unrealistic.

"It's been a fantastic season and we've made the playoffs, which is good. But there's a lot going on and we're not in a good place at the moment, so we don't put any pressure on the players. ”

"As long as they can do their best, there are still too many young players for the Knicks right now, and I hope to strengthen the team again this summer and find some players who are in their playing years." ”

It's sane fans, but there are also fans who are still fanatical about Lamar and still believe that their team will win and make it to the Eastern Conference Finals.

"The Pistons are very strong, they have Big Ben, they have Roaring Celestial, but so what? We have Lamar, the most powerful basketball player in the universe, and no one on the court can compete with him, no one!"

"Don't say it's the Wallace combination, even if it's Shaq and Duncan, they're not Lamar's opponents alone. As long as Lamar is there us, we will win. ”

"Ho-ho!" Dampotter screamed at Lamar, "Listen to what they're saying, Lamar! As long as we have Lamar, we will win. Lamar, I'm sure if you told them you you could take out Kong, they'd believe it too. Damn, you're a lucky guy, I'm not only envious, I'm jealous!"
