"The Minnesota Timberwolves better be careful, we don't want a one-sided game. Even on their turf, we will not be afraid, and we must not forget that we have Lamar and he will lead us to victory. As he used to do, if the Minnesotan loses too badly, then he won't be interested!"

Lamar announced that he would participate in the next game against the Boston Timberwolves, which made the game that had attracted a lot of attention suddenly add a few more highlights. Just like the last time the two teams met, the game was already being anticipated by hundreds of millions of fans before it even started.

I know there are a lot of people waiting for this day, but I just don't want you to get it.

The New York Knicks take on the Minnesota Timberwolves away from home, and this game needs no publicity at all, because with the appeal of one of the superstars of these two teams, it is easy to attract the attention of basketball fans around the world.

Wolf King Garnett, Madman Sprewell, Alien Cassel, Flounder Chauncy Billups, Tanhua Show Devon Wade, of course, the most shining names in the star group of the two teams, New York bandit leader, war god Lamar Odom.

What made Van Gundy happy was that Wade, who was originally out of action due to injury, made a timely comeback in this crucial game. And judging from the previous training in the team, Wade's strength is really good, not only integrating well into the team's original tactical system, but also showing another side of himself, which gives Van Gundy's defensive counterattack tactics a lot more options.

No matter how lively the war of words between the two teams is before the game, in the end, all grievances and grievances will have to be resolved on the court. As the favorite to win the championship this season, this early finals naturally attracted the attention of the eyeballs.

Before the start of the game, a large number of stars from the sports and entertainment circles ran to the target center arena to mix the camera.

Of course, these stars are also distinct, and they all support different teams. Like Hollywood's big stars and well-known decent gentlemen in the sports world, they are naturally on the side of the Timberwolves, while cynical and angry youths like Ruffian Eminem and Black-eyed Peas naturally regard the Knicks as their home team.

Before the start of the game, the question of whether Lamar will be able to play is still the main concern of everyone. Although Lamar had clearly announced at the press conference that he would be playing in this game, people who were accustomed to mutual suspicion still thought that this was just a smokescreen released by the Knicks before the game. The purpose is just to disturb the morale of the Timberwolves.

So when the big screen hanging in the center of the target showed the Knicks' starting players for this game, the fans who supported the Timberwolves couldn't help but let out a chorus of lamentation.

Although Lamar only played a measly ten minutes in the last game, and although his small thumb in possession pointed out the problem, he is Lamar after all, a god of war who terrifies the entire NBA.

"It looks like our players don't have much faith in us!" said Sprewell, rubbing his chin as he stood in the tunnel, "One Lamar has scared the hell out of them." ”

"Then let's help them rebuild their confidence! If the Houstonians can do it, there's no reason why we can't." And we're going to do better!" Garnett's tone was domineering, and his voice was full of power when he spoke.

"That's right!" Sprewell smiled, looked back at Cassel, who was crouching against the wall, with his head bowed and a pensive look, and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Kassel raised his head and looked at the two comrades who blocked the light: "I think I can't wait now, you must know that I don't have many opportunities to fight against such a strong team!"

The Timberwolves' playing music sounded, and the team's center Gibbon Theolatliff was the first to rush out. Although the old guy has entered the last years of his career and is playing next to a large number of superstars, the gibbon is a freak who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and as soon as he heard the DJ shout his name, he jumped out.

Next up was Sam Kassel, the team's main point guard. The Aliens have been even more demonic this season than last season. Although he is a little weak on the defensive end because of his age, he has gradually developed in the direction of the old demon in terms of offense.

In the fifteen games since the start of the new season, Kassel has averaged 21.2 points and 7.5 assists per game, including a full five points higher than last season.

After that, the other two of the Timberwolves triumvirate came into play. I don't know if it's because of the home court, Sprewell completely revealed his wild nature when he played, looking at his angry eyes, he wanted to devour the Knicks alive, and Kevin Garnett continued his usual approach, beating his not strong chest, not knowing what he was saying, but still excited.

"I'm sorry! I'm going to disappoint you tonight. ”

Completely ignoring the boos of the fans and the angry eyes of the Timberwolves players, Lamar looked around the stands with a sneer, his eyes full of provocation.

"Those people must all be cursing you abominable creature right now, and that's bad news for them!" Hilario teased with a laugh.

"So I apologized to them just now. They want to kill us, but it's hard for them to do so today!" Lamar said and quietly clenched his fist, although the injury to his little finger had little impact on the game, but the pain was still unavoidable. Although Lamar said that he was tough, he also felt a little uneasy about this match.

Do your best!

In the scrum, Hilario, who was holding his breath and wanted to prove himself in front of Lamar, defeated the Wolves King Garnett and flicked the ball into Billups' hands. Clearly, with Dampoter's suspension coming to an end, Hilario is also feeling the pressure. After all, no one wants to give up the first-mover position that they have so hard to get their hands on.

The opening first offense was mastered by the Knicks.

"Take your time, take your time, be patient!" Billups reminded his teammates as he slowly advanced with the ball. Against a strong team like the Timberwolves with a well-balanced offense and defense, it is not easy to make a surprise attack at the beginning of the game.

Lamar was also slowly running out of position, and Kevin Garnett got up to him as soon as he did in the last game. Garnett is also a little skeptical about Lamar's injury now, but after all, he is still facing Lamar in this game, a super player who can convert into scoring with just a little opportunity, and he does not dare to be careless.

"It's so desperate at the beginning, can your old arms and legs hold it?" Lamar sneered and looked at Kevin Garnett, but the movements under his feet were not slow at all, and he continued to change direction and move in a row, maintaining a distance from Garnett.

"Old arms and legs, you won't say that when the game is over, you still watch yourself and watch your little fingers. "Kevin Garnett's defensive skills are not ordinary after all, and no matter how hard Lamar tries, he can't get rid of him.

The basketball went back and forth a few times inside and outside but didn't find a good opportunity, and Lamar was a little anxious. With Garnett, the Spider-Man, heavily marked, Lamar having a hard time connecting the ball, let alone attacking. Seeing that there was not much time left to attack, he quickly glanced at Hilario.

Knowing this, Hilario immediately took a big stride forward and blocked Garnett's side. Lamar seized the opportunity and took a sideways step to shake Garnett away.

At this time, Devon Wade's pass was also just right.

Although Ratliff's switching defense is very timely, his old slow legs are really not enough compared to Garnett, and his lateral movement is quite slow, and it is impossible to keep up with Lamar's rhythm.

Lamar was about to get up and shoot after receiving the ball, but there was a sharp pain on the little finger of his left hand, although he only used three fingers to pluck the ball when shooting with his left hand, but it was inevitable that he would touch the little finger.

With this hesitation, the best time to shoot is gone. Seeing that Ratliff pounced with his teeth and claws, Lamar could only force his shot, and the left hand holding the ball could not exert his strength at all, and the basketball thrown out naturally had no crosshairs.

"Bang!"

The original 9-9 out of 10 shots actually missed, which is rare in Lamar's career. What's more, this is the first attack since the start of the game!

Perhaps not many people will notice the fact that in Lamar's career, he has been 100 per cent efficient until now as long as he has done the first attack.

Seeing the basketball pop out of the frame, Lamar reluctantly shook off his left hand, which was still in pain, and turned back to defend, at this time the rebound had been obtained by Garnett. 、

The Knicks' players didn't expect Lamar's 9-to-10 shot to miss, and they didn't react until the basketball was thrown to Cassel by Garnett, turning around and running back.

Cassel dribbled the ball and faced Lamar, who was defending him in front, and the alien was not afraid at all. A few successive changes of direction and a change of hands made Lamar, who was a little absent-minded after losing the basketball, look embarrassed.

"Wow! Our aliens actually played Lamar on the court, and broke through!" "Break through!" the special commentator at the North Shore Garden Arena yelled excitedly.

Cassel's sudden change of speed caught Lamar off guard, and by the time he got back into position, Cassel had already rushed past him and scored a layup.

2:0！

"Is it okay, Lamar?" said Battier, who knew Lamar well. Since Battier joined the Knicks, his shooting posture and hand shape are deliberately imitating Lamar, and he knows a lot about a subtle movement when Lamar shoots. When Lamar was shooting just now, his movements were obviously a little stiff.
