Tonight, Tim's goal is very simple, which is to contain Lamar, the arrow of New York! Even if he can't block Lamar like he did when he first entered the league, at least he must limit Lamar's scoring, so that he can't completely mobilize the offense of other Knicks players. Ran Wen ??? ．?ｒ?ａ?ｎ?? ｅ?ｎａ?`ｃ?ｏ?ｍ?

"Want to fight again?"

Lamar looked at Tim and felt a sense of pride in his heart, once upon a time he had the opportunity to face Tim Duncan face to face?

Obviously, in Lamar's eyes, Tim Duncan is his strongest opponent in the league! There is no one! Shaq O'Neal is talented, but he is not in the same position as himself; Kevin Garnett is superior, but the current situation of the team limits his achievements; Chris Webber is superb, but he is not domineering; Elton Brand works hard, but unfortunately his height is a point that he can never get around!

Only Tim Duncan is comparable to himself in terms of talent, strength, ball quotient, and hard work, plus Tim has one of the greatest coaches in NBA history, Zhuge Vic, to guide him.

When Lamar received the pass again, Tim Duncan's defense was noticeably different from last time, and the intensity was much stronger. Tim's chest was pressed against Lamar's back, refusing to back down. He wasn't as fast as Lamar, but he knew how to use his body to achieve his goals.

With his back to Tim Duncan, feeling the force his opponent exerting on him, Lamar paused for a full four or five seconds before finally moving. With a quick shake of his shoulder, Lamar took advantage of Duncan's distraction and pulled the ball to the left.

"Boy, you're so naïve!"

Tim started moving his body in the direction of Lamar's breakthrough, but his feet didn't move a bit. He knows very well that a player of Lamar's level can do anything in the light of light!

Tim did guess correctly, Lamar moved to the left and did just make a false shot, but Tim guessed the first point correctly, but he couldn't guess what happened next.

Lamar saw that he couldn't do it and immediately changed his strategy. Leaning back, Lamar quickly bounced out with the help of Tim's body as a fulcrum, and his body turned in mid-air. When he turned to face the basket, he just threw the ball.

"I've made a move! It's up to you!"

Although Bowen kept trying to trap Lamar, Lamar never took his eyes on it. Lamar's eyes really saw only Tim Duncan beside him and Parker not far away, and in his opinion, only such a person was qualified to be his enemy!

If you want to fight, I'll accompany you!

This is the battle book given by Lamar!

Duncan and Parker's classic pick-and-roll coordination on the offensive end is almost insoluble for the Knicks. It's not that Lamar and Billups' defense is not strong, it's that the Spurs' two people who implement blocking and pick-and-roll tactics are too strong, Tim Duncan has the ability to shoot from the outside, and Parker's speed is an unsolvable existence in the league.

Tim Duncan's blocking skills are definitely no worse than Karl Malone! If the Knicks choose to change defenses, Tim can rely on his height to force a shot or Parker can rely on his own flexibility to get rid of Lamar; without changing defenses, Tim can definitely delay Billups' defense with his huge body!

The Knicks have also had a lot of trouble on the offensive end, and their players are really talented, and they have superstars like Lamar at the helm. But the time they have been together for a short time after all.

It's different on the Spurs' side, and Zhuge Vic's policy of building the team is stability. Unless it comes to the point of last resort, he will never take the initiative to change the team's main lineup. It can be said that the Spurs players on the court are now familiar with each other to the point that they have a few hairs on the other side.

Fill!Block!Run! Block!

On the outside alone, the Spurs have built a tight blockade. Although Lamar can continue to score with his individual ability, under Tim Duncan's tight defense at all costs, Lamar becomes more difficult every time he gets a shot.

Lamar wanted to pass the ball, but against the Spurs, the old guys, it didn't seem so easy to pass.

"Damn! those old guys seem to know what I want to do from the beginning!"

Dampoter, who was forced to pull to the outside to pick up, smashed the ball on the neck of the basket again with the interference of Admiral David Robinson.

In fact, you can't blame the Haitians, when they received Lamar's pass just now, there were only 6 seconds left in the attacking time. In this case, Dampot really couldn't think of anything better than to throw out a mid-range shot that he was definitely not good at.

The game had been played for almost ten minutes, and the first quarter was about to end. But at this time, the situation on the court was far less optimistic than New York fans had thought, and at 23:15, the side behind was the Knicks playing at home.

Impatience is spreading among the Knicks players, who also didn't expect the game to be the way it is.

In the previous three rounds of the playoffs, the 12-game winning streak made the Knicks feel that they could beat the Spurs to pieces with a little effort as long as they played like they used to. But the reality is completely different, and the Knicks are beginning to gradually erode. This made them start to doubt their own strength.

Lamar is currently the Knicks' top scorer, with a total of 11 points. This performance is definitely outstanding from a technical point of view, but don't forget that these 11 points were scored when he accounted for nearly 60% of the team's shots.

With 4-of-11 shooting, Lamar's performance in the first quarter was clearly unsatisfactory.

Listening to Dampott's complaints, Lamar didn't say anything, but turned and ran towards his own half.

"You're terrible!" Bruce Bowen reappeared like a ghost at Lamar's side.

So far in this game, Bruce Bowen has barely had a single valid technical statistic. Even when attacking, he always keeps an eye on Lamar's every move, always ready to disrupt Lamar's performance with trash talk and small gestures, and perhaps ready to stick out his black feet at any time.

But those who really know basketball know that so far in this game, the Spurs have been able to lead, and most of the credit is due to Bruce Bowen.

Lamar still ignored Bowen's. He is not very satisfied with his own performance!

From the moment the dunk was over at the start of the game, Lamar felt he wasn't in good shape. Some time ago, the frequent battles between the two places still caused some problems with his physical strength. Originally, he thought that he could at least hold on to the end of the finals, but he didn't expect the problem to erupt at this most critical moment.

Lamar also wanted to use the ball to reduce his physical exertion, but every time he tried to hand the basketball to his teammates, he found that his passing lane had been completely blocked. Whether it was Tim Duncan, who pressed him closely from the beginning, or Bruce Bowen and Brent Barry, who were eyeing him from both sides, they all put pressure on him all the time.

"How's it going? Did I say yes? Look at your performance, I really don't know how you got your fame now? I really don't feel worthy for Mr. Dolan, let alone half of the team, in my opinion you don't even deserve a first-round pick!"

Bruce Bowen was babbling in his mouth, and his hands were not slow. It was obviously the Spurs' offense, but Bowen got together with Tim Duncan, relying on Tim's cover to hide one hand in Lamar's ribs, clenching his fist and making an inch!

"Hell!"

Trash-talk Lamar can still bear it, but Lamar can't bear it anymore with never-ending small actions like this. Lamar raised his hand and nudged Bowen and yelled angrily.

If it weren't for Chauncy Billups, who was not far from Lamar's side and quickly hugged Lamar when he saw this, it is estimated that Lamar's foot had made a close contact with Bowen's knee.

But even so, the referees who have made up their minds to enforce the law in this game will not turn a blind eye!

The referee blew his whistle and ran towards Lamar, and raised his hand between Lamar and Bowen, who had fallen to the ground in pain, and gave Lamar a T. If it weren't for his belief that the real victim was Lamar, it is estimated that Lamar would have been sent off by now.

"Mr. Referee, I think this is an obvious on-court violence, you shouldn't be so merciful!" Duncan, the boss of the Spurs, stood up at this time, as if chanting a scripture, and muttered in the referee's ear with a blank face.

The referee glanced at Duncan with a dark face, and coldly threw down a sentence: "I have my law enforcement standards, and you don't have to doubt the fairness of the game." And I think Mr. Bruce Bowen's acting skills are just so bad!"

Bruce Bowen is a hypocrite, and everyone in the league knows about it. Although he is more like a humble gentleman when he is off the field, and even holds several charitable funds, and the public has a very good reputation for him, but when this guy puts on the jersey and walks on the court, he shows his true colors, he can laugh at his good friend Ray Allen and poke out his black feet, or he can break the opponent's leg and then vent his bitterness to the referee with an aggrieved face, showing his innocence.

It can be said that there is no one in the league who does not hate him! Although Lamar is not very popular, after he got rid of Bruce Bowen, many stars in the league have become his friends. Even guys like Elton Brand, who are extremely unconvinced by Lamar, have openly said good things about Lamar.

Now Bruce Bowen's revenge came, and although his revenge didn't seem violent, vile, or bloody, it made Lamar very uncomfortable.
