Lamar was the first to return to his senses, looking up at the electronic timer, where there were still three seconds left. Originally, this little time was still very rich for a superstar like him, after all, he is a player who has created countless miracles, but now even he has no confidence.

The only thing that makes Lamar happy is that he is not the only one on the Knicks team who has the ability to execute the final shot, and Billups and Houston also have such ability.

But at this critical moment when the fate of the team is at stake, can they take on such a responsibility? Lamar doesn't know, because he doesn't have confidence in himself!

Everyone is speculating about who the Knicks will eventually send out, and it must be Lamar!

Of course, Scott, the head coach of the New Jersey Nets, thinks so, after all, he has been Lamar's teammate and assistant coach, and he knows Lamar's ability and game habits well.

Since it's no secret who even executes the final shot, the New Jersey Nets just need to defend the Knicks after the ball is released.

Lamar and Van Gundy both knew that the New Jersey Nets would do it, and so did the rest of the Knicks!

Since Van Gundy has anticipated the Nets' final response, of course, there is a solution. But Van Gundy hesitated, will Chauncey or Alain be able to withstand the pressure?

With one last timeout of his own, Van Gundy seized the time to set up his tactics, and all that remained was to pray for a miracle.

"Don't be discouraged, listen! Three seconds is enough for us to do a lot of things, and don't forget, we've got Lamar, and Alain, and Chauncey! We've got to make New Jerseyians cry tonight. At this time, Jeff Van Gundy hopes to use words of encouragement to restore the morale of the players and play the last three seconds with all their might.

Sure enough, when the players heard Van Gundy's assurance, everyone's eyes lit up, and they all looked at Lamar and the three, as if they wanted to find a way to win from them.

Lamar struggled to make himself look refreshed, but his pale face, tormented by fatigue and pain, was somewhat unconvincing. Lamar also knew that he had reached the point of exhaustion.

But at least the Knicks players aren't as depressed as they were now.

Then Jeff Van Gundy went to ask about Houston's situation, and the answer he got was that the menstrual period was caused by a long game, which was not serious.

Although Houston was eager to stand by Lamar's side at this time and share the pressure, Jeff Van Gundy still crossed him off the kill list in his heart. Van Gundy could see that Houston's physical strength had reached its limit, and his thighs cramped, and he would definitely not be too sure of making a final shot in such a situation.

Jeff Van Gundy hesitated for a moment and then began to order: "Alain, your main task when you come on the pitch is to attract the defense and replace Lamar and Chauncey to open the line. Once Damp Potter gets the basketball out, you try to get as close to the basket as you can and be ready to grab the rebound, you know?"

"Lamar, Chauncey, don't hesitate to shoot whoever you have a chance to play! Remember, we only need three points, we can't afford to play in overtime!"

Houston was a little disappointed, but nodded with the Haitians, who knew that the task of the last shot was destined to be lost.

Jeff Van Gundy only sighed helplessly when he saw this, it was obvious that he was not optimistic about this final blow, and now he was really cramming for a while. At this time, all he could do was rely on luck.

The timeout quickly passed and the game resumed.

Darmsport stood on the sidelines ready to serve the ball from the halfway line, and the other four players lined up near the Nets' free-throw line by height.

The moment the referee handed the ball to Darmshoe, the other four Knicks players immediately began to move. All eyes were on Lamar, who rounded Houston and Shanton Anderson before suddenly pulling to the left of the three-point line.

Jefferson and Van Horn of the New Jersey Nets rushed to the top, and everyone's attention was on the outside, and no one noticed that the Haitians had rushed to the basket.

The ball came out, but it was handed to Lamar.

Almost as soon as Lamar got the ball, the Nets' defenders were in place.

Lamar knows that the most taboo thing at this time is panic, and after receiving the ball, he doesn't look at the surrounding situation, but just makes a feint to break through on the left side with a shake of his body.

Jefferson and Van Horn were both surprised, neither of them expected Lamar to break through at this time.

Do you want to score two points in overtime? The thought of this in the minds of both men at the same time, and their bodies involuntarily moved in the direction that Lamar was about to break through.

At that moment, Lamar's body suddenly retracted backwards, and then jumped to his feet before Jefferson and Van Horne could react.

"Oops, fooled!"

Jefferson was secretly shocked in his heart, he knew that it was too late to think about the block. But the infinite desire for victory still made him burst out with huge energy in an instant, and he tried his best to make the last effort, and he also jumped up with Lamar, but what he wanted to seal was not the basketball in Lamar's hand, but Lamar's eyes.

The sudden arrival of a hand really startled Lamar, and the movement of the hand slowed down a beat.

Lamar's heart lit up after the shot, a feeling he hadn't felt since he was reborn. Lamar knew he had missed the perfect moment to make his shot.

"You've lost!" Jefferson didn't say anything, but the shape of his mouth clearly meant it.

The basketball was still flying in the air, time was flying away, and people's eyes were focused on the basketball, and no one noticed that a black shadow was moving slowly under the basket.

The muffled sound of "Bang!" was like a hammer hitting the heart of every Knicks player.

"Win!"

The New Jersey fans in the scene were jubilant, and in their opinion they had won.

"Watch out for rebounds!"

Kidd's sudden shouting woke everyone up.

It was clear that Kidd had seen the player who had not done much of his job tonight, and had no idea that he would be in the most crucial position at the last minute.

With less than a second left, the unguarded Haitian jumped up smoothly, his hand on the basketball lightly, and everyone held their breath and watched in amazement.

"Whew!"

All the Knicks players were stunned, none of them expected that it was not Lamar, Houston, or Billups who saved the team in the end, but the Haitians who couldn't even choke on shots.

"Well done, Samuel!" shouted Shanton Anderson, who was closest to Dampot, before rushing forward and throwing the huge Haitian to the ground, "Brother, well done, you did a great job!"

At this time, the regular game time was over, and there were no scruples, and the Knicks players ran over and pounced on the two strong men and played Arhat.

Only Lamar was still standing on the side, but looking at the way he raised his arms, it was clear that he was just as excited.

However, the New Jersey players did not seem to approve of the Knicks' celebration, and gathered around the referee, shouting to remind the referee that the game was over before Dampoter's finger left the basketball.

The referee was not very sure about the goal just now, and they didn't dare to make a casual judgment on such an important goal. I quickly called a few assistant referees to go to the technical statistics desk to watch the slow-motion replay, but after watching it for a long time, the time when Dhampoter's finger left the basketball and the time when the red light came on were too close to be too close to judge.

At this time, the specialized technicians of the alliance used high-tech means to magnify what happened in an instant just now countless times.

Finally, after nearly ten minutes of study, several judges unanimously decided that the Dampoter goal was valid!

The Knicks players who were still hanging their hearts just now celebrated even more presumptuously after seeing the referee's decision. But the New Jersey fans booed at this time, only this time it was not the Knicks who booed, but the hapless referee.

"Mr. Referee, you're killing a good game, you're committing a crime!" Scott protested loudly.

The referee glanced at Scott, if he usually sent Scott off the court, but just now he did make a judgment that was not conducive to the Nets, and at this time in the face of Scott's complaints, he just turned a blind eye.

The least likely person to be a hero saved the team at the last minute, a dramatic scene that boosted the morale of the entire Knicks.

The five-minute extra time had become their stage in their eyes. It's a pity that joy and sorrow happened immediately.

"What?" Lamar asked on the Knicks' bench with sudden emotion, but the huge pain in his lower back made his body a little unstable, shaking and almost falling.

"Lamar, calm down!" shouted Jeff Van Gundy.

But Lamar said angrily, as if he hadn't heard it at all: "How do you calm me down at this time? Don't you see where we are now? ”

Jeff Van Gundy also did not back down at all: "But even if you play, what's the use? Lamar, look at your current physical condition, what else can you do? Is it scoring or what?"

Jeff Van Gundy's words almost made Lamar's chest explode with anger, and he shook off Billups and took his hand: "What I can do is my own business, at this time I have to fight with my teammates on the field!"
