In Lamar's opinion, the only one in the trident who has the strength to fight against him is Richard Jefferson.

Needless to say, Kenyon Martin was originally a typical example of a strong defense and weak offense, and until he retired, there were few offensive items in his arsenal, except for empty catches, dunks, layups, and under-basket boards, Lamar really didn't know that Kenyon Martin would have other offensive methods.

As for Jason Kidd, it's not nonsense that Kidd doesn't attack! Besides, Kidd's attack power is average, except for a decent three-point shot, there is enough threat to break through.

In the face of Lamar's challenge, Jefferson did not disappoint Lamar either.

When the Nets attacked, Jefferson received Kidd's half-high ball, dunked directly into the air, and scored the ball again. Dampoter, who was defending under the basket, was even hit by him and almost flew out.

In front of a rare opponent, Jefferson, who had been silent for a long time, finally began to show his offensive talent.

Jefferson began to play, and Lamar, as the host, was naturally not far behind.

Lamar received a pass from Billups near the free-throw line, took a stride and leaped to his feet, spun his body in the air for a week, grabbed the basketball with one hand, drew a large circle in front of him, and smashed the ball into the basket with all his strength.

The two of them went back and forth on the field, just like a bullfight. The scores of the two sides have also been very tight, and Jefferson, who has been cared for by Jason Kidd, seems to be possessed by a great god of Joe, and he is incomparably strong for a while. Even if he had to face one of the league's best defensive squads today, Sean Battier, he didn't show any weakness, and he hit the basket again and again, performing violent dunks.

Jefferson's sudden outburst is naturally what team boss Jason Kidd wants to see. So Kidd took advantage of Jefferson's hot hand and sent good balls one after another, so that his assist statistics rose one after another.

If the match had followed this script, it would have turned into a battle of dragons, but it was clear that this was not what was in the original script.

Finally, when the game reached the second half, the difference in the overall strength of the two sides began to be highlighted.

In the final analysis, the bench is not strong enough, and Jefferson, who was seriously physically exhausted in the first half of the game, actually fell directly off the hoop after completing a slam dunk.

You know, Jefferson fell sideways on the floor and didn't get up for a long time. Lamar only saw the guy holding his right arm, looking up at himself standing not far from him with a look of regret.

Jefferson still wants to continue fighting, but he is already exhausted and it is difficult for him to maintain a strong first half.

After a brief examination by the Nets doctor, he shook his head helplessly at Byron Scott, and it was obvious that Carter's game was over.

The biggest enemy of the Knicks in this game was forced out of the game by them with their strength. Naturally, there is no suspense in the next game.

Having lost the hottest attacker of the night, Kidd couldn't support the big picture on his own, no matter how comprehensive he was. Kidd's passing was really good and destructive, but without someone who could convert his passes into points, he couldn't do anything.

107:89！

In the end, the Nets could only reluctantly accept a defeat, looking at the Knicks players who were celebrating, Kidd's eyes were only filled with deep helplessness.

"They want to see us crying! It's a pity that they are the last to cry!"

At the post-game press conference, Lamar still did not change his strong attitude, completely ignoring the faces of Nets coaches Byron Scott and Kidd Tieqing sitting not far from him, and slapped each other openly.

"I think everyone knows "The Emperor's New Clothes"? What I want to say is that ignorance is not terrible, but what is terrible is self-deception and lack of self-knowledge! I think New Jersey is in such a stage now, you should wake up!"

"Whether you call me revenge, call me cruel, I just see that New Jersey people are unhappy!"

With that, Lamar pushed the microphone in front of him, leaned back in his chair and crossed his shoulders, obviously not ready to say anything.

Seeing this, the reporters in the audience naturally won't be bored anymore, and besides, they have already got enough tonight, and tomorrow they only need to copy Lamar's words to the newspaper as they are, and at least they will be on the front page.

Since there is nothing to be gained here at Lamar, the reporters immediately aimed at the Nets' generals, and looked at their angry faces, which was big news in itself.

"May I ask Mr. Byron Scott, what is your view of this game? Are you happy with the Nets' performance tonight? and what do you think of Mr. Lamar's statement?"

A reporter stood up and dropped a bombshell directly on Byron Scott's body.

When Byron Scott was listening to Lamar's shouting just now, he felt like his brain was going to boil. He had never been so angry as he was now, and Lamar's words were like whips, and every word was whipped his heart.

After stabilizing his emotions a bit, Byron Scott was worried about whether he would break out and scold: "I'm very happy with the players! It was a good game, both sides played well. It's just that luck didn't seem to be on our side tonight, and we kept the score tight until Jefferson went off, but unfortunately there was a bit of an accident. ”

"Jefferson's injury is our biggest loss tonight, but the series isn't over yet, we're still fighting, it's not like we didn't have a chance. I think it's too early for Lamar to make wild statements, and I think everyone can be patient. ”

"The winner? I think the right answer will only come at the end of the game!"

When this same question was thrown at Kidd again, it was clear that the old ruffian was not as well-educated as Byron Scott, and before the reporter could finish his sentence, he was furious.

"I don't have much more to say about this game, you see it. New Yorkers were like crazy and they were interfering with the game, and we couldn't concentrate at all. It's so unfair to us, they should be friendly. ”

"After all, the Knicks are going to play on our home court, and I think they don't want to see our fans interfere with the game like they do. As for what Lamar said? Did he just say something? Who knows what he's talking about? I don't care about those at all! It's useless for him to say anything now, it's not time for them to celebrate, we have six games left, and we're going to give our best in each game. By the time this series is over, I think we'll have a happy result!"

The smell of gunpowder in the press conference extended to the rest of the game.

In the second game between the two teams, because Jefferson was absent due to injury, the Nets, who were already short of major generals, made matters worse, and they did not lead once from the beginning to the end of the game.

Although Kidd held out until the end of the game, refusing to take a break even in garbage time. However, the difference in strength made Kidd's efforts look more like a wasted effort, and in the end they lost to the Knicks with a disparity of 112-88, making the overall score 2-0.

As is the usual habit of the Knicks, the game has reached this point, and the Nets can basically give up their illusions.

"We haven't lost yet! Don't forget that the first two games were on the home court of the Knicks, and then when it comes to our turf, we're going to entertain them in the same way, and then it's the New Yorkers' turn to cry!"

Kidd is obviously a dead duck now, but no one wants to listen to him anymore by this time.

Whether it is New Jersey fans or news media, even those NBA celebrities who usually don't deal with the Knicks are all on the side of the Knicks at this time, singing praises to the Knicks in front of the camera.

"There's nothing more to say about the game at this point!" Kenny Anderson looked a little helpless in the interview, eager to continue to stand against the Knicks. But if he did do that, there is no doubt that he would be a fool!

"Well done Knicks! Obviously, Jefferson's unexpected injury disrupted the Nets' plans, and no one expected this to happen before the game. While Jason's fighting spirit is commendable, the arena still has the final say, and it's clear that it's the New Yorkers who have the upper hand right now. ”

After the second game, Lamar once again shouted a sweeping declaration at a press conference.

You know, the Nets aren't the same opponents they've faced before. Compared with the Orlando Magic, who unexpectedly entered the playoffs, the Nets are a notch above the opponent's strength in that aspect.

It's a pity that when they meet a team like the Knicks, their advantage in strength immediately comes to naught.

"Our goal is to sweep the opponent and I don't think there's any doubt about that! I can't think of any reason to stop us from moving on, and that's just the way it is! We're going to be the winners, and it's the New Jerseys who can only cry. ”

Kidd still has expectations for the team's performance back at home, but it turns out that his expectations can only be delusional.

Now the Knicks team that has gradually matured is not something that the Nets can compete with, and the overall strength of the Knicks is now comparable to the Pistons in the previous life, you must know that the Pistons in 04 stepped on the corpse of the Lakers with F4 to lift the O'Brien Cup.

In the third game, although the New Jersey fans tried their best to respond to Kidd's call, they tried their best to interfere during the game.

But it turned out that they could only do it in vain. Without Jefferson, the main offensive and defender on the outside, the Nets' strength has dropped to the bottom.
