Chapter 718

Lamar is indeed the most attacking player in the current squad today, but he also has his weaknesses. Fire and Literature? ??? This weakness is that it lacks the ability to respond in the face of close enemy pressure.

In the past, every time Lamar encountered such a crisis, as long as one person could stand up and do a block for him, he could solve it. But today's opponent, the Spurs, is obviously not that kind of ordinary opponent, and Bruce Bowen is a super strong defender, and it is really not so easy to ignore Bruce Bowen's entanglement after getting rid of Thiem.

Lamar got a T, and the first quarter was about to end. Jeff Van Gundy didn't want Lamar to be kicked off the pitch at this time because of an emotional outburst, so there was really no hope for this game.

As the team's head coach, Jeff Van Gundy knows better than anyone how much difference a Knicks with Lamar has and a Knicks without Lamar.

"Lamar, calm down! That bastard is clearly trying to provoke you on purpose, don't fall for him!"

Seeing Lamar sitting on the bench with a large white towel over his head as soon as he returned to the rest area, Jeff Van Gundy couldn't help but feel anxious.

Faced with the current state of the team, Jeff Van Gundy can't help the team much tactically. He also felt very guilty about that, and all he could do now was to rekindle Lamar's fighting spirit and make him a team leader.

Jeff Van Gundy kept yelling in his ear, but Lamar's mind was already in a mess at this time, and he couldn't understand what Jeff Van Gundy was talking about.

"Calm down! Lamar! Calm down! Lamar! Calm down! Calm down! I can do it! Haven't I already defeated a lot of powerful opponents? Maddie, Kidd, Rashid, weren't these people all I could look up to before? But they all lost to me! How could a mere Bruce Bowen have a hard time getting me. ”

Lamar kept encouraging himself in his heart, trying to calm himself down, and even the names that he almost forgot remembered at this moment. But it didn't work!, he felt every muscle in his body twitch. Was he nervous or anxious? Even he couldn't tell the difference.

Lamar's relatives sitting behind the bench are also anxious, although they are not very proficient in basketball, but they still have a clear view of the Knicks and Lamar's predicament. They tried to comfort Lamar and give him encouragement, but they didn't know what to say, and they were afraid to disturb Lamar.

"Babble!

At this moment, Leon, who had been quiet in Vanessa's arms, suddenly became noisy, and stretched out the immature Lamar's back and gently slapped it twice.

It was this childish babbling and beating that made Lamar sober up in an instant. Lamar pulled off the towel on his head, then glanced back at Leon, his cold gaze became warm again, and smiled and lightly scratched Leon's little face: "Lao Tzu can't be embarrassed in front of his own son!"

By the end of the first quarter, the difference between the two sides had been stretched to 12 points, which was rarely seen in previous Knicks games.

The New York fans at the scene looked a little gloomy, and the finals, which they originally regarded as a grand festival, were completely out of their imagination. This made it a little difficult for the fans to accept, sitting on the seats one by one, and all eyes were focused on the Knicks' rest area.

Obviously, fans hope that Jeff Van Gundy can figure out a solution as soon as possible, and also hope that Lamar can regain his form and lead the Knicks to victory.

The Knicks players who walked to the rest area looked a little decadent at this time, just like their previous opponents, who looked like they were defeated.

"Hey, guys, put your heads up and look in front of you, I don't want you to hurt your knees by not looking at the road. ”

A voice suddenly rang out in front of the Knicks players, and when they looked up, they saw Lamar standing alone in front of the rest area looking at them proudly.

Lamar's expression greatly stimulated them, and Lamar, who was obviously disheartened and extremely irritable just now, actually returned to normal all of a sudden. That self-sacrificing momentum seems to have returned to him.

Dampotter glanced at Jeff Van Gundy suspiciously, wondering what kind of trick his head coach had done to Lamar, and he was instantly tricked by Lamar.

In response to Dampotter's questioning gaze, Jeff Van Gundy just smiled wryly and shrugged his shoulders and shook his head. Just now, all his attention was on spitting at Lamar, and he didn't notice that Leon, the cute pet in New York, actually launched such a terrifying and lethal move as "Angel Moeyin" against his father.

"Don't stand there stupidly, we're running out of time. ”

With that, Lamar stepped forward, slapped each player on the body, and dragged them back to the rest area.

The scene on the Knicks' bench was quickly discovered by Bill Wharton. The poor performance of the Knicks and Lamar just now gave him a big headache for Lamarmi, and now seeing such a scene, the old guy's originally sluggish mood suddenly became excited.

"Oh! Lamar seems to have thought of something, I don't know what happened, but now Lamar clearly feels like he's regained his composure. In that case, I think we can look forward to the next game!"

Whether Bill Wharton can expect anything is not Lamar's main concern at the moment. What he has to do now is to close the gap with Spurs as soon as possible.

In the first quarter of the game, I don't know if it was because the Spurs were in the lead, and Zhuge Vic did not send Ginobili. If you don't do something before the demon knife goes out of the body, the Knicks will definitely be difficult to play in the future!

Because once Ginobili plays, the Spurs' offensive routines will become more abundant, and then the unlucky ones will be the Knicks.

Pulling his teammates over to form a circle around him, head coach Jeff Van Gundy was instead kept out. However, Jeff Van Gundy didn't mind, but kept looking inside, and he was also curious about what Lamar wanted to do to save the team's decline.

"Guys, it's not going to go on like this, I can feel it, you can feel it, the San Antonios are ready to close the net. If we don't change and do something, we will have to be led by the nose in this game, and we may not even know how we lost. ”

Dampoter was a little anxious, he didn't want to hear that, and shouted, "Hey, Lamar, get to the point, what are we going to do? If the game goes on like this, I think I'm going to go crazy." ”

Lamar ignored Dampott's shouting and continued: "Since they've organized an effective defense on the outside, let's just play the offense to their interior." ”

"Duncan's defense is great, but it's not as strong as Samuel's. And they also have a fatal flaw, which is that old guy David Robinson, Samuel, this is a chance for the two of us. It's up to us whether we can grasp it or not!"

"Chauncey, look at my code, when that time you pass the ball to me, I'll organize the inside attack, and I'll pull Thiem out of the line as much as possible. Samuel, your job is to stay close to the basket and be ready to attack, and the rest of you need to run more. We're younger than them, so I'm going to see who can drag who to death in this game?"

"Okay! We'll do it! I'm going to show that dead face how good I am later!"

As soon as he heard that he could have unlimited firing rights in the next game, Dampoter was immediately excited. For a defensive player, there's nothing more exciting than that.

The break is over and the game resumes.

Indeed, as Bill Wharton analyzed just now, New York fans can indeed look forward to the next game. The Knicks players who returned to the court swept away the previous decadence, and their mental state suddenly became better again.

Especially Dampot, the Haitian monster from the beginning of the second quarter, quickly ran to the basket of his own half, clapped his palms hard, and roared loudly.

"Come on, old fellow, see if you can break my defense!"

After getting the offensive order, Dampot suddenly became tough on the defensive end as well. It's like the stupid big guy who was played by David Robinson as a monkey in the first quarter and he are two people at all.

Being yelled at as an old guy made David Robinson's face a little bad. The Admiral glanced at Parker, the meaning was already clear, he was angry, and wanted to teach this little character a lesson!

is still a blocking tactic, and it can be seen that Zhuge Vic wants to carry out this tactic to the end in this game.

Only this time the Knicks didn't switch defenses. With the totem of Dampot missing in front of him, Parker was a little uncomfortable.

At this time, Parker could have attacked directly, but when he thought of the eager eyes of his big brother David Robinson, Parker still passed the ball with a flick of his wrist. It's just that this pass was noticeably hesitant, which allowed the defensive Darmsot to take advantage of the opportunity accurately.

"Smack!"

The split tactics after the unsolved block were actually cracked by Dampoter?

However, the Spurs didn't panic, and Parker was the first to reflexively run towards his own half. The two old guys, Bruce Bowen and Brent Barry, also suddenly rejuvenated themselves, coquettishly twisting their little waists back to defense.

Lamar, who had the ball in his hand, was not flustered, and after passing to Chauncey Billups, he also ran towards the Spurs' half.
