It is precisely because of the unexpected factor of Lamar that the league entered the Warring States era in advance, and it is also because of the unexpected factor of Lamar that the history of the NBA has finally changed. Vince Carter once wanted to be the one who changed history, but unfortunately he was born in the same era as Lamar.

The break is over and the second half is about to begin.

When Vince Carter reappeared on the court, the fans immediately burst into applause, and people were chanting the name of the Raptors.

Seeing such a scene, Vince Carter's heart was touched. It's not like he's never seen such a shocking scene before, but this time Carter feels that he has been treated as a hero by Raptors fans, as the king of the city, just like Lamar did in New York.

This is because Vince can fight with Lamar in this game, and he is quite not lagging behind. Fans are satisfied with watching the performance of their team's leading core, and sometimes they don't care if they win or lose the game, they just care about whether the players they support bring them happiness.

"Isn't that shocking? When I won the Olympic title in Australia, it was the same as it is now!" Vince Carter walked over from behind, gently patted Anthony on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Camero, don't think so much, try your best to play and try to win." Whatever the outcome, you've done your best, and there's nothing to regret!"

Vince Carter's words woke up Anthony, who was still quiet in emotion, like a pre-dawn light, and made his brain instantly regain clarity: "What am I fighting desperately on the field for? Isn't it for the championship, for the honor, for the victory? As long as I do my best, no matter what the result is, what is there to regret?"

Thinking of this, Anthony smiled, nodded and said, "Thanks, Vince! I know, let's have a good fight with him! ”

After saying that, Anthony felt that the fatigue in his body seemed to disappear all of a sudden, and he became very relaxed. Anthony stood in the center circle, looking at Lamar, who was waiting for the free throw, seemed to be a little impatient and a little excited, and his heart ignited a raging fire!

The game resumed, and the Raptors attacked. Their tactics reverted to the simple basketball style they started with, and after a few passes, the basketball was handed over to Vince Carter, the brains of the team.

Carter didn't pause after winning the ball, bounced twice and then changed hands several times in succession, before passing the ball to Anthony near the free throw line. The latter leaned on Lamar for a moment, then suddenly turned around and hit a jumper, leaving the score gap by only one point.

Raptors fans cheered when they saw their team rejuvenated, and they seemed to have seen hope of an equalizer. It's just that this can only be hope, or even extravagant, because next, Lamar finally exerts his might.

Anthony's hunch was right, Lamar really didn't give it his all in the first half. The Raptors don't have a strong defender on the inside, and Lamar can basically do whatever he wants. As for the Raptors' outside lineman, with Battier and Chauncy Billups to escort them, Lamar can basically ignore them.

In the first half, when the two teams were divided, Lamar scored 27 points like crazy, but he really didn't give his best. A team without an interior defender simply isn't worth the full steam out to deal with. But now it's different, it's in the second half of the game, and he has to come up with something, not for anything else, just to respect his opponent.

Small hook on the back, pull-up jump shot, outside three-pointer, breakthrough dunk!

Lamar suddenly became omnipotent, and single-handedly messed up and shattered the Raptors' defense.

In the third quarter, Anthony could barely keep up with Lamar's scoring rhythm. Anthony was also in great shape today, and with Vince Carter's brain feeding him cannonballs, scoring was even easier. But as the game progressed, Anthony's tiredness grew stronger, and in the end, he really couldn't support it.

Raptors head coach Shariff O'Neal also saw that Anthony had a problem with his physical strength and hurriedly made a substitution. It's just that when it comes to substitutions, he has a bit of a problem, who can take Anthony's place?

In the end, he could only focus on Michael Curry, a former All-Star small forward who had just recovered from injury and had not played this season.

Corey came on for Anthony, and Sharif O'Neal made it clear that the team was going to focus on Vince Carter from now on. The rest of the people are all escorting Carter, blocking and dismantling, pulling away the position, if anyone drags Vince Carter back at this time, then I'm sorry, the bench seat is your destination!

Back on the court, Vince Carter received a pass from Alvin Williams, then turned and played a breakaway dunk to score the ball.

After the goal, Vince Carter looked very excited, pointed at Lamar and yelled at the sky, and glanced at Lamar meaningfully. The agreement between the two has never been forgotten by Vince Carter.

Seeing that Vince Carter had already sent a letter of war to him, Lamar naturally would not retreat. The next attack, Lamar, once again gave people a glimpse of what it means to be "gravity can't hold me".

Lamar used a dunk to make Vince Carter, who had just flaunted his martial arts and aspired to be the hero of the game, lose face. The next game once again proved the fact that Vince Carter, who lost his helper, plummeted as a threat to the Knicks.

Although Vince Carter is also a super swingman, he and Kobe Bryant are not on the same channel at all. Kobe Bryant is still a lone hero without Shaq, and he will only become more and more courageous in the face of the bag. But Vince Carter didn't have Anthony on the court, and he suddenly became the target of public criticism, as long as he got the ball, he would immediately be caught by the Knicks, and even if he wanted to pass a good ball, he couldn't do it at all.

After a wave of 8:0, Van Gundy comfortably replaced Lamar and other main players to rest, and let Billups bring a group of substitutes on the field to continue the slaughter.

Although there is also a certain gap in the strength of the Knicks' main force and the bench, it is completely enough to deal with the Toronto Raptors, who are only left by Vince Carter.

By the middle of the fourth quarter, the Knicks' lead had extended to as many as 18 points, and it was impossible for the Raptors to get back the score.

Seeing that the team was about to lose, Sharif O'Neill could only make a desperate bet to replace Anthony. A four-front lineup of Anthony, Vince Carter, Michael Corey, Jeffries and Williams was formed on the field in order to steal points.

Sharif O'Neal's goal is almost achieved, and the reason why I say almost, is because Lamar felt so good today, and when the basketball passed to him, the Raptors had no other choice but to serve from the baseline.

"Toot!"

At the end of the game, 135:121 The two sides played a wonderful offensive battle. Although the team lost the game, the Raptors fans did not feel regret and stood up to applaud the players on both sides.

Vince Carter looked at the score, just shook his head slightly, and said nothing. Just like I said just now, I have done my best, but my skills are not as good as others! Although I am very unwilling to lose the game, I have no regrets.

In the post-game press conference, Lamar went against the norm and did not disparage the Raptors with the arrogance of a winner, but affirmed the Raptors' performance on the court.

'They played really well and caused us a lot of problems, something we haven't had in previous seasons. The Raptors clearly have what it takes to be a strong team, they have a lot of talented players right now, and the addition of Anthony has completely unleashed Vince's talent. ”

"If they are given more time, the new duo of Vince and Carmelo will come out stronger. I'm looking forward to that day, when we'll be in Madison to meet their challenges. ”

Anthony's interest in losing the game was not very high, but when the reporter handed him the question, he hesitated and then spoke: "I feel very unwilling, we are not completely without a chance. It's just that we didn't grasp it, Lamar Odom is too good, but that doesn't mean I'm throwing in the towel. We'll have a chance, and we'll prove ourselves again when the time comes!"

Leaving Canada, the Knicks rushed back to New York overnight. They don't have much time to rest, and the next day they're going to fly to Houston again. It's been a bad back-to-back again, and since the start of the new season, it's really the only one who has been as busy as the Knicks, which shows that David Stern 'values' them.

Houston Rockets, this is a team that countless Chinese fans love and hate. Love it because of the name of the medicine, hate him because of Alexander. It has to be said that although Alexander is not a competent team owner, he is indeed a very shrewd businessman with a unique vision.

At the beginning, it was because he saw the huge business opportunities and benefits behind the name of the drug that Alexander would not hesitate to put the Oriental giant on the throne of the top pick in the draft. In the end, it turned out that his choice was correct, and the name of the drug not only increased his personal wealth by 300% in just 2 years, but also pulled this old powerhouse out of the quagmire of the lotto area because of the outstanding technology of the drug name.

In the past two seasons, although the Rockets have often played wonderful games, their results have been very inconsistent. The combination of the name of the drug and the big guy didn't give Alexander the championship he wanted, and even the playoff journey looked like a stumbling one.
