Chapter 321: XO
Just like the original Rain Man Camp and Glove Peyton, Postman Malone and Stockton, and now the Big Shark Shaq and Peter Pan Kobe, the current Knicks also have their own royal combination - Lamar and Houston. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Infoxo Combo!
"Hey, Lamar, welcome to New York. Houston smiled happily, like a child, and gave Lamar a big hug, "Dude, I can't wait to play right now, I'm going to show all the bastards who rode around our necks last season that we're capable of." ”
Lamar finally broke free from the bear hug in Houston and said with a slight smile: "You'll see that day, but now you'd better change your clothes and come out and practice with us, you know that we've basically changed now, and the newcomers aren't familiar with your style of play, and I don't want people to say that the combination between me and you is bad after a while." ”
"Of course, Lamar, I can't wait to play with you, and that's why I'm sacrificing my vacation!" Houston said, heading straight to the locker room, and by the time he came out, he had changed into a tracksuit, "Alright! man! let's start now!"
Just how powerful the combination of Lamar and Houston plus Billups is, it didn't take long for many Knicks players to see.
Last season, at the beginning, because the Knicks' Houston and Sprewell occupied too much possession time and were unwilling to pass the ball, the power of the Knicks' interior line under the basket was not fully reflected at all. After that, the interior defensive big man Marcus Camby was injured again, and the overall strength of the Knicks was once again discounted, so the Knicks were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs after finishing third in the East in the regular season.
But now when the Knicks are in charge of organizing Lamar and Chauncey, the situation is completely different, and the first thing to feel this change is the only interior player on the Knicks team who can be regarded as a center, rookie Damm Quilt.
When Lamar took a step towards him, Darmsport even lost his mind for a moment, if it weren't for Jeff Van Gundy watching from the sidelines, he would immediately want to run away, he knew Lamar's strength very well.
Lamar stopped one step before the reasonable collision zone, turned to lean on Darmst, and reached for the ball at Chauncey, where Lamar's attack was still very strong.
Chauncy saw that Lamar had already stood in position, and immediately made a high-profile ball, passed the ball to Lamar's hand, and at the same time made an emergency stop to change direction to get rid of the defender's stubborn play, after winning the ball, Lamar wanted to immediately turn his back to single Dampoter, but when he saw Chauncey's movement route, he changed his attention in a flash of inspiration and made a feint to squeeze in.
Seeing this, Jimmy Butler, who was ready to help defend at any time, quickly gave up the player he was marking and rushed over to help Dampot block Lamar's offensive line.
But at this moment, Lamar suddenly made a stunned move, flicked the ball in his left hand, and the basketball passed through the armpit of Darmsteat, who was defending him, and directly handed it to Chauncey, who was already in place.
The main reason why people are stunned is that in the last season, when this situation usually came, the Knicks' interior would choose to end the battle alone. But that's no longer the case, with Lamar opting to pass when he sees a better chance with his team-mates.
Chauncey, who received the ball, had a simple thing in front of him, raised the ball high with his right hand, and with the help of the cover provided by Lamar for him, he went straight to a one-handed layup.
Jeff Van Gundy, who had been standing on the sidelines with his shoulders crossed, couldn't help but have his eyes lit up at this time, such a scene was all too familiar to his mind. It is clearly the classic cooperation mode between O'Neal and Kobe Bryant during the Lakers Dynasty, the inside line is responsible for distributing the ball, and the outside line is responsible for strong offense.
After this scene, Jeff Van Gundy has gradually had a hazy new idea in his head, maybe he can create a classic combination that is completely different from the Bulls and Lakers in the Knicks.
"Good pass!" Chauncey couldn't help but give Lamar a thumbs up after the goal.
Just after passing the ball out, he rushed to the inside line out of instinct and the tacit understanding with Lamar before, and he didn't expect Lamar to pass the ball in such a timely manner.
Lamar grinned, and the smug expression on his face was very obvious: "Brother, don't you know my strength? We will be good partners, and of course Alain." With that, Lamar also pointed to where Alan Houston was.
"Of course, I would prefer that to be recognized by our opponents. ”
"They'll see you soon. ”
It's unknown if the Knicks' future rivals will be able to see each other soon, but their teammates have already been the first to experience the horrors of the pair.
Lamar first blocked Dampoter's immature little hook on the inside. Before the opponent could react, Chauncey, who picked up the ball, quickly advanced to the opponent's half of the court like a motor mounted on his leg, and then people saw a very wonderful aerial relay.
"Boom!"
Alan Houston received Chauncey's pass in the air and both enjoyed the basket with all his might.
Houston then made a steal and passed straight to the basket, and Lamar's speed advantage over the average big man was fully realized, and as he stepped to the free-throw line and jumped, Houston's pass arrived.
In front of him stood two defenders, Darm Porter and Bobby Simmons. But Lamar didn't seem to care, and bumped into the defender.
Jeff Van Gundy, who was watching the game from the sidelines, also widened his eyes at this time, originally he thought that this would be a collision like Mars hitting the earth, but the next scene made him completely stunned.
Dampoter and Simmons, who were in charge of the defense, flew out almost the moment Samuel Dampoter collided with him.
Jeff Van Gundy's first thought at this time was that Ewing, the gorilla who used to be his beloved general, was just in front of him a monster under the basket that was slightly inferior in size and weight, but more lean, more flexible, and more aggressive.
"This *** is simply a superman!"
The assistant coach next to Jeff Van Gundy looked at Jeff Van Gundy in surprise, since he stepped into the coach's seat, he has always given people the feeling that he has always performed rigorously, and there will be no gaffes at any time, but he actually lost his temper after watching Lamar's performance today.
"Superman, Coach, are you talking about Lamar?"
"Of course, Tom, I'm sure this kid will be the overlord of the Peerless Alliance!"
You must know that Ewing, the gorilla who was in full swing back then, did not get such an evaluation from Van Gundy, and now Lamar can get such an evaluation from Coach Van Gundy, Lamar's strength really moved this head coach who has been bald for the team!
"Hey, Lamar, give us some more exciting performances!" Thibodeau shouted excitedly from the sidelines.
Lamar was stunned, shook his head with a smile and didn't speak.
After just one day of joint practice, Lamar and Houston were like confidants who hated to meet each other, and immediately became the best partners and best friends. Houston's simple, introverted personality made Lamarton feel good, and Lamar's indomitable offensive style and hard-working attitude were also recognized by Houston.
Although he only had one day of practice, Lamar believes that the combination between him and Houston is not weaker than that of any All-Star pair in the league, and it won't be long before he and Houston and Chauncey have fully grown into a match.
"Lamar!"
Dampot, who was taking a shower, suddenly ran out naked, laughing and running to Lamar as if he had discovered something new. Seeing his excited appearance startled Lamar, who was changing clothes, and the rest of his teammates who were in the break room were also shocked by Dampoter's outrageous image at this time.
"Hell, did you fool all the water into your head, or do you want to prove in front of us how great your words really are?" Chauncey reacted and kicked Dampot's ass, but he underestimated the hardness of Dampoter's ass, and instead of kicking him away, he was shaken by the reaction and nearly fell.
Dampotter looked back at Chauncey's embarrassed face and smiled even more, "Hey, man, you should be careful, I have the same magnetic field on my ass as you." ”
This guy's funny, easy-going personality is really likable, and in just one day, these new teammates have all taken a liking to this big boy and become friends, so it's a bit unscrupulous to joke.
"I think it's better to draw a portrait of a girl on your ass, or it's disgusting!" Chauncy said fiercely.
"Samuel, whatever happens, you'd better get dressed now, I don't think anyone in this locker room will be interested in your." Lamar smiled wryly, he wanted to avoid his gaze, but he had no choice but to hide, the long one was always dangling back and forth in front of him, like a long-nosed elephant after dinner, desperately bored and fighting mosquitoes.
But Dampott didn't seem to hear Lamar's words at all, and said excitedly, "Lamar, I just came up with a great idea. It makes us even better. ”
"I don't care about your damn idea, now get in and get dressed, your meat worm is disgusting!" Lamar couldn't take it anymore and finally exploded, once again he never thought that one day a man would shake that thing in front of him. (To be continued.) )
