Chapter 599
It's just that if Brand wants to make Lamar back down by relying on this, it will be wishful thinking! In Lamar's basketball world, there has never been a word of fear, even the strongest opponent will only make him feel excited.
The scoring data of the two was stretched to 4 points again!
At this time, there are 49 seconds left before the end of the first half, and the situation is very unfavorable for Lamar!
After all, even if Lamar shoots a three-pointer, the difference between the two points is still 1 point, and Elton Brand still has the right to attack.
Lamar's expression gradually became solemn, but there was a faint excitement in the solemnity. Lamar is now enjoying the feeling of being cornered.
Burn one's ship!
Lamar knew very well that the next attack would never be easy, but wasn't this exciting challenge exactly what he had been pursuing?
Lamar's dribbling speed is not fast, but he has a good sense of rhythm, and the basketball is fast and slow in his hands. Lamar wanted to use this method to confuse his opponents.
"This kid is getting better and better, and he already knows how to get the most out of his weapons!" Bill Wharton couldn't help but let out a sigh of praise as Lamar looked focused on the court.
Seeing that Lamar began to play his old tricks again, Elton Brand also increased his vigilance.
Soon the two opponents faced each other again, and there were 43 seconds left before the end of the first half!
Lamar made his decision immediately after one glance at Elton Brand. After a moment's shake, Lamar quickly strode forward to the right. And Elton Brand's reaction was exactly what Lamar expected.
Brand lowered his center of gravity at this point, his eyes fixed on Lamar's shoulders.
A bottom-line reporter was lucky enough to capture a precious shot - Elton Brand suddenly frowned, and there was a look of wonder in his eyes.
At this time, something did happen on the field that Elton Brand did not expect. The reason why Elton Brand stared at Lamar's shoulder was to see Lamar's movements left and right. But the signal coming from Lamar's shoulder was neither to the left nor to the right.
It's actually up!ad_250_left();
Elton Brand was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked at the movement of Lamar's hand. He found that Lamar had left where he had been standing and had gone to his left side.
And that's not the most surprising thing for Brand, the most dazed thing for Brand is that the ball is missing.
"Where's the ball?" Elton Brand wondered where the basketball was going at this time!
It didn't take long for Brand to understand everything.
"It turns out that he made this calculation!"
The basketball flew right above Brand's head at this point. The height of the ball is relatively high, and the speed is not slow, so it is impossible to jump and intercept!
Elton Brand, who thought clearly about Lamar's thoughts, first shouted for Foyer and others to pay attention to block Lamar, and then he quickly turned around and chased after him.
But the obstruction of Foyer and the others did not have the slightest effect, and Lamar's movements were too fast.
Lamar, who started at full speed, is now like a loach, quickly burrowing into the Clippers' defensive powerhouse.
When Lamar looked up to see the ball, Elton Brand, who was chasing the defense at full speed, also chased after Lamar's side.
At this time, the basketball is flying in an arc!
"Amazing! Elton Brand also had to admire Lamar's bold idea at this time.
"Is this a compliment to me?"
Lamar and Elton Brand jumped up almost simultaneously as the words landed, stretching their arms and hooking towards the basketball.
"Ahh
In the end, Lamar, who had the advantage of bouncing height, won the basketball before Elton Brand, and Lamar immediately handed the ball from his right hand to his left hand.
At this time, Elton Brand, who was unwilling to give up like this, just slapped the slap of the block.
"How is that possible?" Elton Brand fanned out with the seal.
Elton Brand, who already knew his own shortcomings, didn't expect to get basketball. After all, Lamar is not only much taller than himself, but his jumping ability is slightly better than himself, and Lamar's position at this time is much better than him.
Therefore, Elton Brand rushed to the foul from the beginning, and it was bound to not allow Lamar to score the ball easily.
Brand was afraid that he would be punished for a malicious foul for making too much action, so he still chose to attack Lamar's right hand holding the ball when he fouled. But Elton Brand didn't expect Lamar to have already guessed his mind.
"He calculated everything, even my actions. What a horrible fellow!" Elton Brand was already a little scared when he looked at Lamar again.
Such careful thinking and such a strong ability to predict are really envious and scary.
Although he is very confident in his own strength, he can't be like a computer like Lamar, who has always predicted everything.
"Huh!"
Lamar changed hands and picked it with his fingertips, and the basketball fell into the hoop accurately.
With 38 seconds left before the end of the first half, the initiative seemed to be back in Lamar's hands!
The Clippers fans at the scene naturally took a breath of cold air for their leading players.
Until now, although Lamar's blood-pumping violent slam dunk has not been staged, fans feel that such an elegant way of scoring is the biggest killer for their team.
Elton Brand is still only two points ahead of Lamar, and if the next goal is not scored, the situation will no longer be under Elton Brand's control.
That's when Dunleavy stood up and called a timeout, he was finally about to make a move.
To the onslaught of Clippers fans, Dunleavy called the players together for the final defensive deployment of the first half.
And Elton Brand also urgently needs time to adjust his mentality of being provoked by Lamar at this time, otherwise he is really worried that he will go crazy due to excessive pressure.
Before meeting Lamar, Brand wouldn't have had such thoughts - gain and loss!
"Elton, how's it going?" Elton Brand had just sat down when he heard Dunleavy ask.
Brand looked up at Dunleavy with a smile on his face, as if his head coach wasn't worried about the game at all.
During the last timeout, Elton Brand told Dunleavy about his bet with Lamar. At that time, because Elton Brand felt surprisingly good, Dunleavy also granted Elton Brand's request. Even Dunleavy asked the rest of the players present to teach the ball to Elton Brand as much as possible.
Elton Brand, who waited for the full support of the head coach and teammates, did not disappoint them, and the high shooting percentage made the team bite the Knicks tightly in the score.
But then Lamar's performance surprised Dunleavy even more, Lamar, who just joined the Knicks last season, although his performance was just as strong, but definitely not as good as it is today.
And now after watching Lamar's self-written and self-directed offense just now, Dunleavy is even more dumbfounded! Compared to the previous three seasons, Lamar has become smarter and better at using his strengths.
Dunleavy already felt that he had been conquered, completely conquered!
Dunleavy felt a little excited while feeling scared and excited! Defeating this formidable opponent and showing people the importance of tactics in basketball has made him full of motivation right now.
"I don't want to admit it, but this guy is really good! Compared to the previous two seasons, Lamar is now a bit like a fox who has become an elf!" Elton Brand said, looking to the Knicks' side. When he focused his gaze on Lamar, he couldn't help but have a trace of respect in his eyes, which was completely a tribute to the strong.
Lamar's performance has already conquered Brand, and he has conquered the whole field.
In the past, Lamar preferred to bombard the opponent's basket like an ironclad warrior, and he was tired and sweaty after a game. But now he seems to be at ease.
What does that mean? It means that Lamar has easily suppressed such a formidable opponent as Elton Brand.
Kill the opposing leader!What could be more exciting?
This is how the legend is accumulated! Now the young Lamar is writing his own legend, of course, if Lamar's career is long enough.
The timeout passed quickly, with each side having one chance to attack.
Can Elton Brand get his way to beating Lamar, and can Lamar beat Elton Brand in a Jedi? It's about to come to light!
I don't know if the other party is nervous or excited, Lamar feels Elton Brand's body seem to tremble slightly. But this tremor made Lamar excited too.
Elton Brand's eyes are as sharp as ever, and his movements are as solid as ever! Whether it is a frontal advance or a back-to-back single, his movements are not the slightest drag, everything is as if he has just come on the court, and he can't see what he has just experienced a fierce game.
After one big stride followed another, Elton Brand leapt confidently. He didn't jump, it was a feint!
"What?"
Lamar didn't expect Elton Brand to give him such a play, and Lamar, who was jumping with all his might, could only watch Elton Brand pass under him with a short body.
"Oh my god!
The word regret crossed Lamar's mind as there were only 11 seconds left until the end of the match.
"Don't succeed!"
Just as Lamar felt defeat draw closer to him, Dampott's voice came from behind him.
When his boss encountered a crisis, the Haitians, the last barrier of the Knicks' interior line, bravely stood up. Dampott waved his two thick arms and shouted and lunged at Elton Brand.
