Chapter 795
Lamar showed great self-confidence, and the Knicks were indeed ready for the big game as he said, and now they are waiting for their opponents to come to the door. Ranwen ??? .ranena`com
"We can't make a mistake this time! The fans here are hungry for a championship, and James Dolan has done enough to do so, but we haven't been able to satisfy them for two years. So now everyone must remember that we must not make any more mistakes this time!"
"From the first second of the first game until the red light came up at the finals, everyone had to concentrate and give it their all. We're going to win a championship, the great Knicks are about to be revived, and this season, in our hands, to make it happen!"
It can be seen that missing out on the championship for two consecutive seasons has made Lamar a little crazy. The desire for glory made Lamar and his teammates highly nervous. Now it's time for the Knicks to rise up and sweep through the princes, and when the Knicks rush forward, there will be no one in this alliance who can stop them!
That night, the entire Knicks were on the plane. The Knicks' first stop of the new season is chilly Memphis, where they will face the Grizzlies, their first opponent on the road to the Knicks' dynasty revival.
"Lamar, I don't think you need to go there at all, you should be with Vanessa and Leon right now. ”
As soon as Anderson got on the plane, he began to complain to Lamar, who now lives in Lamar's luxurious estate, and Leon seems to like this big man with tattoos, who loves to play with himself, and has a pretty good relationship with him. Leon has learned to crawl lately, and the energetic little guy is running around the house, which makes Anderson even more nervous than Lamar.
"Alright, Chris, stop bothering me. Lamar impatiently pushed Anderson aside: "Have you forgotten what I said before? This time none of us can make mistakes, and everyone has to do their best to charge forward until we win the championship." Until then, no one can stop, and no reason can be a reason to avoid the game. Besides, Leon's little guy is real, but not as fragile as you think, he's my son!"
Although Lamar said so, he actually agreed with Anderson's statement in his heart. Now this Grizzlies team is not worth his personal lesson, and the Grizzlies supported by Pau Gasol alone are completely no threat to the Knicks. But Lamar was trying his best to suppress the idea of underestimating the enemy in his heart at this time, and he didn't want to be the first to make a mistake just after educating his teammates.
Although the Grizzlies are recognized as a bad team and unlucky team in the league, who knows that they will not suddenly explode and hurt people?
The Memphis Grizzlies, this team seems to have been a role for the prince from the very beginning. Since joining the NBA, they have struggled like most teams that have just joined the NBA, and they know that they have not been able to escape the fate of being bullied by others, and they are notoriously fishy.
In the midst of a bleak storm, the only consolation for the Grizzlies is the draft picks that make others envy each year. But the Grizzlies management did have a bad enough vision, and their luck has not been very good.
In 1996, a golden year of talent, the Grizzlies, who held the pick, did not choose Ray Allen or Kobe Bryant, but chose Abdul Rahim, who is known as an all-round forward. Although this hopeful star has extraordinary strength, he quickly established his core position after joining the Grizzlies, and formed a well-known killer combination with Rivers, but looking at the current strength of Ray Allen, Kobe Bryant and others, I believe that if time can be turned back, the Grizzlies will definitely make a new choice.
In 1997, the Grizzlies' blinded management missed out on Tracy McGrady, the league's now thriving scoring champion.
In 1998, the Grizzlies management once again showed their incompetence in the league, and although All-Star guard McBibby was also outstanding, whether it was Vince Carter, Dirk Nowitzki, or Paul Pearce, who was not a famous All-Star in later generations?
Although there is no shortage of stars on the Grizzlies team in recent years, the arrival of the All-Star has not really changed the Grizzlies' identity, and the record is still lackluster.
It is said that the trees move the dead and the dead move the living, and the Grizzlies, who have never been able to find their form in Vancouver, finally moved back to Memphis City in 2000 and changed their name to the Memphis Grizzlies. The team's management also made up their minds to make a "big change", first exchanging McBibby for "White Chocolate" Williams.
White Chocolate's showmanlike style of play was immediately admired by the local fans. The Grizzlies then sent the team's core Raheem to the Hawks in exchange for Lorenzen Wright and Spanish rookie Pau Gasol, plus some potential rookies in the draft. A number of promising young players have come together in this way, and the Grizzlies have gradually attracted attention from all walks of life.
It's a pity that the Grizzlies' luck seems to run out here. originally planned to take advantage of Lamar's transaction to make a small profit, but unexpectedly, he met Lamar, a reborn guy, so the grizzly bear can say that stealing chickens is not a loss. Not only did he lose a number of high-quality rookies such as Battier, but even the 2003 rookie was traded away by short-sighted management. The grizzly bear, which originally had hope of rising in history, collapsed and completely became the belly of the alliance, and the hope of rising seemed to be getting slimmer and slimmer!
In the first game of the new season, they encountered a strong team like the Knicks, which made Memphis fans wail. Before the game even started, they already had a premonition of defeat.
'We were very disappointed with the reaction of the fans, they seem to have lost faith in us. They felt that the Grizzlies meeting the Knicks would be a game of eggs and a sure loser, even at home. But I don't think so, the game hasn't started yet, isn't it too early to make a decision about the game?"
Pau Gasol, the Grizzlies' young leader, was quite unhappy with the reaction of the fans, and this was his first game of the new season, and he didn't want to mess it up. Even without the support of the fans, he has to do his best to light a fire for himself.
Gasol's confidence was extremely high, but confidence alone could not win the game. The Grizzlies' current roster still has a lot of shortcomings, and their management and coaching staff still have a lot to do, of course, the most critical thing at this stage is offense and defense.
As soon as the game began, the Grizzlies' painstaking defense was swept away by the Knicks players. The defense put together by Pau Gasol, Swift, McMiller, Bloomberg, and Jason Williams is simply vulnerable to the Knicks.
Swift doesn't seem to have a chance to get rid of the stupid label attached to him, with a talent but no IQ. Swift really doesn't have a brain, and in fact the sport that would be more suitable for him would be rugby rather than basketball. It's a pity that he didn't know it, so until now he still hasn't been able to give up his love for basketball in his heart, and he still stays on the court to cause chaos for his club.
As for McMiller, he has a lot of potential, but only a lot of potential. He's not good enough to hold up the Grizzlies on the outside right now, and maybe he'll be a very good player in the future, but not now.
White Chocolate Williams, whose speedy breakthroughs, colorful dribbles, and unpredictable passes, have indeed won him the love of a large number of fans. But he doesn't have the practicality of Mike Bibby, and he's a little less scorching when it comes to combing the team's offense.
Such a grizzly bear meets the Knicks, and the results speak for themselves.
Dampot and Lamar continued to attack inside, and under the containment of the inside, the army of outside three-pointers led by Chauncey Billups also opened fire in full swing. After having ample rebounding security, they made a crazy shot without any intention.
is also a rough man who plays with physical talent, and Swift is like heaven and earth compared to Darmster. Dampotter barely had much effort, and with a slight feint, the simple-minded Swift flew into the sky with a bang, and then he had to fly out screaming and flying upside down.
Although no family members were in attendance, it did not seem to affect Lamar's form. In the first quarter of the game, Lamar shot inside and outside, and he scored 13 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.
The Grizzlies' defense was almost useless in front of Lamar, and neither Pau Gasol nor Swift could stop him from moving forward.
The defense can't be defended, and the offense can't be attacked. Dampot and Lamar built a fort under the basket, and outside Shawn Battier and Billups combined for a staggering five steals. And the opponent they bullied was none other than the white chocolate Williams, who was extremely confident before the game.
By the end of the first quarter, the live score had become 36:17, and the Knicks had established an early lead.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Van Gundy happily replaced all the main players and replaced them with Hilario, Davis, Simmons, Salmons, and Arenas to find form.
The main players were replaced, and the Knicks' strength on the court inevitably declined. The Grizzlies also took the opportunity to launch a 7-0 attack wave under the leadership of Pau Gasol to narrow the gap in the score. But then the Knicks' bench players quickly allowed the Knicks to stabilize their position again.
The first to start playing was Bobby Simmons who entered the palace for the second time, and after Simmons returned to New York, he was bent on winning back the hearts of the fans, and he worked very the court. As the Grizzlies struggled to score points, he was the first to step up. Simmons first made a fast-break dunk after a steal from Mike Miller, and then hit a shot from an assist from Hilario to stabilize the situation for the Knicks.
