Chapter 1149
Seeing what happened to Ariza before, Nelson has been worried about his Knicks' position. Now that the season has gone on and he is getting better and better, that worry is gradually disappearing. But he knew he had only gained a foothold with the Knicks with Lamar's approval, and now it looks like he's done that.
"Darko, don't laugh! I know you played in the playoffs when you were with the Pistons, but you didn't even have the time to play. So, you can also be considered a rookie in the playoffs!"
There was another good-natured laugh, and Milicic grinned and laughed. For him, this season has been nothing short of fantastic.
Originally, Milicic was ready to be sent to the NBDL by the Knicks, but he didn't expect that the team's main substitute Hilario would be reimbursed for the season at the beginning of the season, and then Darmsport was also seriously injured.
Milicic was instantly hit by a pie falling from the sky. To be able to get an average of 16 minutes per game playing time for the Knicks, who are full of masters, is a miracle for a list that has been labeled as a parallel import! Now it has appeared in the Eastern Conference Finals, which most players will not be able to achieve in their lifetime, all of this is simply crazy for Milicic, it is like an inspirational drama.
"And you, Alonzo and Patrick, and I look forward to you bringing your experience to these guys. I don't want to see you guys like these rookies and your feet go limp before the game starts. In that case, I'm going to put a few rebars in your legs so you know how to walk upright. Lamar pointed to Mourning and Ewing, who were snickering next to him, and said to the two of them.
The laughter in the locker room was even louder.
"I know you've been enjoying winning lately because it's really exciting. But what I want to tell you now is that it's not time for us to celebrate! Our goal this year is to defend our title, and the Eastern Conference Finals are not the end of the road!"
"Last time we could have made it to the finals and even won the championship, why can't we do it this season?
"Now, those damn Detroits are telling us that it's useless to say that our hard work is because we're doomed to be empty-handed. ”
"I ask you, are you willing to work hard for a season and end up empty-handed?"
"No!" everyone shouted in unison.
Who wants to go on vacation empty-handed, and they're not just the defending champions, they've just set a new regular season record, and if they end up in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Knicks will definitely be the target of ridicule from the league!
The Detroit Pistons are nothing, they don't even know what the Finals are like, why should such a team look down on the Knicks?
"So what should we do with the damned Detroiters? Defeat them! Defeat them! Defeat them!" Lamar shouted at the top of his voice. The pitch of the three "Beat them!" grew exponentially, and the voices became more and more domineering, giving the teammates no other options at all.
"Beat them!" the players shouted, and the momentum within the Knicks reached its peak at this moment.
"Okay! Let's go out and shove shit into their foul mouths and stomp that garbage under their feet!" Lamar roared and kicked open the locker room door, then walked briskly outside with his teammates.
"Fight!
"Fight!
Arriving at the court, the fans, led by DJs on the spot, greeted the home team's players with their loudest voices, shouting the Knicks' battle cry hoarsely.
After a series of main events, the tournament officially began.
When the players on both sides high-fived, Rashid Wallace did not forget to exchange a choke with Lamar.
"We're going to win the game!" said Roaring Tianzun confidently.
"How many times have you said that to me since I joined the League? Seriously, I can't remember it now! But you haven't won once, no! Can you say something new next time, keep repeating the same thing, you just don't get annoyed, I'm tired of it. Lamar replied coldly.
"Drop!"
The competition has officially begun.
Mourning and Kenyon Martin stood at opposite ends of the jump line, and at the referee's whistle, they both jumped towards the referee's tossed basketball.
Both men were about the same height and bouncing, with Kenyon Martin being young and better bouncing, while Alonzo Mourning was more experienced.
In the end, the basketball was narrowly moved to his own half by Mourning.
Billups immediately grabbed the basketball in front of Hamilton, then steadied his pace and slowly dribbled to the front court.
Lamar arrived at the front court and immediately asked for the ball with his back to Kenyon Martin near the free throw line.
Both of them are about the same height and figure in appearance. It seems that Kenyon Martin is a little stronger, but Lamar's flexibility and the strength contained in his body are indeed much greater than Kenyon Martin, so Lamar's back is not a problem to get stuck in Kenyon Martin.
Billups took the basketball to the front court and immediately passed it to Lamar.
After Lamar received the basketball, he immediately made a feint to find out the truth.
Rather than take the breakthrough he is better at, Lamar put his center of gravity down and slowly ran inside, just like he did in the last game against Jermaine O'Neal.
Does Lamar really want to crush all his opponents with a single move?
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The sound of muscles clashing kept ringing on the pitch.
Although Kenyon Martin's body is strong enough and his strength is good, it can't compare to Lamar's strange strength. So Kenyon Martin was forced to take several steps back to the basket after being hit by Lamar a few times in a row.
Lamar had a premonition that he was almost close to the basket, so he suddenly stopped and turned to the left and retreated, and then took advantage of Kenyon Martin's body to lean forward, turned 270 degrees to the right to avoid Kenyon Martin's pressing, and then stepped forward to put the basketball firmly into the basket.
Lamar's series of inside lines are smooth and fluid.
"How about it? Would you like to return the ball with the same trick!?" Lamar sneered at Kenyon Martin after the goal.
"You!" Kenyon Martin was speechless, with a pang of hatred in his heart. He really wanted to use the same trick to get Lamar back, but it was really hard for him.
Truth be told, Kenyon Martin has a tough defense and has improved his offensive skills in recent years, but it's only a time for the frame. Back-to-back singles, especially a simplified version of a fantasy dance move like Lamar, he really can't play it!
Seeing that Kenyon Martin didn't speak, Lamar raised his eyebrows proudly, pouted and shook his hand disdainfully, and then turned around and ran towards his own half!
Seeing that Lamar knocked Kenyon Martin dumb, the fans suddenly resounded with a MVP sound.
Although the MVP of the regular season has been won by Lamar, now people are shouting for the MVP of the finals, even if the finals have not started yet!
The game continued, and Hamilton took the basketball to the front court and gave it to Kenyon Martin very honestly.
For Hamilton personally, choosing to join the Detroit Pistons because of a big contract was definitely a cup decision.
Originally, he was running for the championship, but unfortunately he had just joined the Pistons for two years, and the powerful Pistons fell apart. Seeing Ben Wallace, Taysha Ann Prince and other team pillars leave one by one, even he is now precarious, and sooner or later he will be put on the shelf by the team.
I think I was in the Washington Wizards back then, although I was not the boss of the team, but I had a good time. He's a goalscorer like Reggie Miller, and he's really happy with Michael Jordan back then.
Although Jordan was over forty years old at the time, he was still able to stand out, and with the glue veteran Leitner in the locker room, it can be said that Hamilton is really comfortable.
Kenyon Martin went straight to Lamar after receiving a pass from Hamilton near the free-throw line.
In this game, Coach K also had his own considerations in terms of tactical arrangement, and did not choose Alonzo Mourning to defend Martin, but let Lamar, who was faster and more physical, go to engage Martin in hand-to-hand combat.
In the face of Lamar's pressing defense, Martin faked a few shakes to no avail, and then chose to use brute force to run directly to the inside.
It's a shame that Lamar is not your average defender, and he can do amazing things from time to time.
In the face of Martin's brutal forced assault, Lamar did not choose to hit it hard like other defenders, but followed behind him by half a step.
Lamar raised his long arm and squeezed three or four steps inside against Kenyon Martin when Kenyon Martin suddenly made a sharp stop. He clearly wanted to take advantage of Lamar's unstable footing!
"Whew!", the basketball went into the net!
For Martin's unexpected pull-up jumper, Lamar just smiled helplessly. Although he is fast enough to keep up with Martin's speed, Lamar is not omnipotent, he does not have the ability to predict the future of the prophet, and it is impossible to predict Martin's every move. And relatively speaking, defenders always lose.
This time it was like this, although Lamar had defended in place, but he couldn't anticipate Martin's emergency stop. But for a guy like Kenyon Martin to defend, being able to force him to shoot is a success.
When it was the Knicks' turn to attack, Billups still handed the basketball to Lamar, who played at the free-throw line.
Since Coach K took charge of the Knicks, the team's half-court handling has basically been taken over by Lamar.
As for Coach Billups?K, what is more important is his ability to control the tempo. And with such a tactical arrangement, Billups can also exert his ability to be a cold-blooded killer.
After Lamar received the basketball, he tried a few times with a feint again, and seeing that Martin's defense was quite tight, Lamar wisely hoisted the basketball to Mo You on the inside. 2k reading web
