Chapter 860
Van Gundy shouted hoarsely, but it didn't seem to have much effect, the players were all looking at Lamar, and it was clear that in their hearts only Lamar was their backbone, and as long as Lamar said a word, they were willing to sacrifice???? ?? ? ?ena`com
Lamar was silent for a moment before he stood up, "Guys, do your best! For the sake of the Knicks, and for ourselves." ”
Lamar's words were simple, but they lit up in the hearts of Knicks players.
But they didn't know what was going to greet them outside, and when they re-entered the court, they saw the big screen showing the highlights of the Chicago Bulls. Although many years have passed, the Chicago fans in the scene still looked excited to see such a picture again, cheering for every rebound from Rodman, every assist from Pippen, and every score from Jordan.
The meaning of the Bulls' management is obvious, that is, to tell the Knicks that no matter how powerful and powerful the Knicks are in the league, when they go to Chicago and the United Center Arena, they can only be supporting roles, and the real protagonists are only the great Bulls of the Jordan era and their successors.
As a result, at the beginning of the second half, Hinrich took advantage of Billups' lack of concentration during a marking, and hit a three-point shot to widen the gap to eight points.
Lamar's constant pain in his fingers kept him unable to concentrate on the opponent, and with the team trailing in the score, although he rested for a long time off the pitch in the first half, his mood became more and more impatient.
The core players gradually lost their coolness, and Hilario and others, who were the younger brothers, naturally followed suit, and they all followed Lamar for a while. The Knicks players who were still on the court at this time obviously didn't pay attention to any tactical coordination, and although they played fiercely, the effect was not good.
The Bulls are probably influenced by Jordan's classic images, and really explain to people what it means to be young without limits. Although they fought fiercely, they were well organized, and it could be seen that Skeys's training of these young people over the years was still very effective.
The balance of the game began to tilt in favor of the Bulls, and the gravity fans who came to watch the game at the scene suddenly turned into cow dung, cheering for the Bulls with the Chicago fans. For a long time, the Knicks have been able to attract a large number of fans to cheer for them no matter where they play, but today because of their own state, low morale, and the superhuman performance of the Bulls players, these fans have also turned against the Knicks.
The Knicks players, who are in the midst of a crusade of 10,000 people, are becoming more and more impatient, and they make frequent mistakes when they play. Seeing that the team is playing worse and worse, Van Gundy can only try to save the defeat by constantly redeploying troops.
"The Knicks were completely out of shape today, not just Lamar, every Knicks player didn't seem to be focused on the game today. It looked like they were gambling with themselves, and a bunch of people went to the pitch to see who was worse off. ”
"Oh, oh my God, is Negilario here to be fun? Hey, big man, the basket is on it, not in the opponent's face. I have to say that the Knicks didn't play like a championship team at all today, and their current state is that the NCAA kids team can go wild on their heads. On the contrary, the performance of the Bulls today has given people hope for a revival in Chicago, with Hinrich, Chandler, Fitzel, Curry, these little guys are definitely All-Star level today. ”
"Especially Hinrich, he finished Billups, the Knicks' leading point guard on the offensive end, and he doesn't look like a rookie at all! If this group of players continues to develop like this, the future of this league must belong to the Bulls. ”
In just two games, someone has already made this kind of voice, which shows what kind of position they will be pushed to by public opinion if the Knicks lose this game again.
"Attack, attack, attack!" Van Gundy no longer asked for any tactical cooperation at this time, but just stood on the sidelines and beckoned the players to attack.
Time was running out, and the Knicks were still 11 points behind their opponents. Such a gap can basically declare the outcome of this game, but the Knicks players, whose self-esteem has been severely hit, still do not want to give up. Having been at the top of the league for so long, they didn't want to give up their place easily.
In fact, these two games played like this, and they couldn't figure out what was going on. Although Lamar's form has been affected to a certain extent since his injury, it is they who have really pushed them into such an embarrassing situation. Recently, their hearts have been too impetuous, and the successive victories have made them a little carried away, and now they have finally received retribution.
Before the end of the game, Battier and Hilario had a physical altercation with their opponents because they were not calm, and as a result, they both received technical fouls in a row and were both sent off.
99:119
With a gap of 10 points, the New York Knicks were killed by the Chicago Bulls, and they lost to their opponents by a large margin both home and away. No one expected such a result, except, of course, those who didn't hold their farts in the morning and wanted to see Knicks jokes.
Watching Lamar's last shot miss, the Chicago fans at the United Center Arena burst into jubilation. Whether they knew each other or not, the fans at the scene all hugged each other and began to celebrate wildly.
Chicagoans have sunk in so long that they've almost forgotten the last time they celebrated a victory so unpassionately. Basketball God Jordan, Batman Pippen, and Rodman have not been happier since they left Chicago one after another.
Although the Bulls had a happy time last season with Jae Williams' super play, with the fall of Jae Williams, the Bulls fell into the abyss again. And Chicago fans who have enjoyed the great achievements of the Jordan era are hardly satisfied with this achievement.
The Chicago Bulls' victory over the mighty New York Knicks tonight was just an ordinary regular season game, but Chicago fans were excited to beat the championship favorites Knicks home and away in one season. It makes them seem to see the hope of a revival of the team again.
And the Knicks, who have experienced two consecutive defeats, were suddenly pushed to the forefront of public opinion. In the past two seasons, when Lamar is on the floor, the Knicks have never experienced a losing streak.
At the press conference after the game, Lamar, who had finally regained his composure, faced the indiscriminate bombardment of reporters and first wanted to apologize to the fans in New York: "I know this game will disappoint a lot of people, we didn't play well today. We were making mistakes from the very beginning of the game, and the Bulls took advantage of our mistakes to beat us. ”
"It's really frustrating! But I'm not unsettled, it's fair to everyone. We paid for our mistakes and the Bulls won. It's not the end of the world, we've had a lot of setbacks in the last two seasons, it's not a big deal, it's about the mistakes we've made and pick ourselves back. ”
"We've had two more regular season games against Chicagoans, and I don't think we'll make the same mistake next time!"
Although Lamar swore by what he said, in the face of a great opportunity to fall into the well, his words sounded like a dead duck's mouth to others. Although this is just an ordinary regular season game, who said that the Knicks have gone too smoothly since the start of the season?
Since the beginning of the new season, in the face of the league's deliberately arranged busy schedule, the Knicks have been enjoying the joy of winning the game more often than not, except for an unexpected loss to the Houston Rockets. People are jealous, and when others are happy, they hope that others will be unlucky, even those reporters who have been singing praises for the Knicks before, now have big stones ready to smash on the Knicks' head at any time.
At this time, those who were hiding in the shadows all the time and were ready to watch the Knicks also stood up one after another, and for a while, the wall fell down and everyone pushed it, breaking the drum and hammering thousands of people.
Although the Knicks are not a broken drum and still occupy the first place in the East, and there is a reason for losing, these trolls will not care about you. They had already prepared the materials for Black Knicks when the Knicks were in a good spring, and now of course they will not be stingy with their saliva.
"I had expected this situation for a long time!" Kenny Anderson, who had been holding back his stomach for a long time, could no longer keep a low profile, and chattered proudly at the camera lens. It's as if the Chicago Bulls can achieve a double kill against the Knicks, all because of his prediction: "The Knicks are not a strong team at all, and I believe that no one will deny this in the future." They have a lot of holes in their current squad, and although they play very well offensively, their defense is just too bad, and most of the players in this team are not mature enough in mentality, they are too tender. ”
"Just like this game, when the team has a bad situation, they get panicked. The reason why their record was good before that was only because the Knicks' record in the past two years had scared them. Yes, the Knicks have played a lot of good games over the years, I admit it, but those good games have made many teams mistakenly think that the Knicks are really strong. As a result, when I got to the game, because of this fear in my heart, I couldn't play my strength at all. ”
