The assistant trainer said with a wry smile: "Antonio, he wanted to try to walk without the help of crutches, but he just threw the crutches away and that's it." ”

"Without the help of crutches?" Jeff Van Gundy suddenly became furious and shouted loudly, "Don't he know that you don't know yet? ”

"But !!" the trainer still wanted to argue.

"Alright!" Lamar shouted, he was a little flustered when he saw Davis's injury just now, and he had calmed down at this time: "What's the use of arguing now, hurry up and send this guy to the hospital, it seems that he is not lightly injured." ”

Jeff Van Gundy glared at the trainer and went out to find someone to call an ambulance.

The trainer felt very aggrieved, and just heard Davis say something, and before he could stop it, he saw Davis throw the crutch aside, and then tragedy happened.

Davis was injured as soon as he returned to the team, so everyone naturally didn't have the heart to continue training, and Jeff Van Gundy rushed to the hospital with Lamar after a few simple explanations to the assistant coach.

In the hallway outside the emergency room, Jeff Van Gundy looked very frustrated, as if the Knicks hadn't had a smooth run these seasons.

"Holy! This is happening at such an important time. ”

Jeff touched his already oily head and cursed constantly, no wonder he was so out of shape, now that he was short of major generals, Arenas finally returned, Davis recovered well, but then there was such bad news.

"It's too late to say anything now!I can only pray that Antonio's injury is not too serious, he is still young and at his peak, and it is a pity that his career is ruined like this!" Lamar could only comfort Jeff Van Gundy as much as possible at this time.

"This bastard is really not worrying!" Jeff Van Gundy snorted, and continued, "When he recovers, I already have to teach him a good lesson, otherwise he will continue to be willful!"

"It's still too much pressure on McDyes! That's why he's so anxious to make a comeback!"

After a moment of silence, Jeff Van Gundy added, "Lamar! If Davis doesn't come back in the playoffs, I think we're in trouble." ”

"I know!" Lamar nodded, and the two fell silent again.

Perhaps many fans feel that without Davis and McDyes, the impact on the Knicks must be very limited. In the center of the position, as long as there are two people, Damp Potter and Olajuwon, it is enough. In addition, there is also a Jackie Butler, although the strength is not very good, but compared with the preseason, the game attitude has improved significantly, and it can be used reluctantly. No matter how bad the strength is, with that height, standing under the basket is a deterrent.

The role of Davis is known only to those who actually play on the court, and he is not only Lamar's replacement, but also when Lamar is off the pitch, he can form a twin tower on the inside with Damppot or Olajuwon to greatly enrich the team's offensive routine. In particular, his extremely skilled close-range shooting is a great weapon for the team on the inside.

It's still just the regular season, and his role may not be so obvious. But when it comes to the playoffs, those old monsters under the basket who are used to starting to work in the playoffs are definitely not something that the rookie Dampot can handle alone, and when Olajuwon is old and his physical strength can't keep up, the inside strength is likely to cause the Knicks' efforts throughout the year to be in vain.

The door to the emergency room opened, and Jeff Van Gundy's heart was in his throat, but he was disappointed by the news he received. Davis suffered a torn ankle ligament and is set to be reimbursed this season.

The scrapping of Antonio Davis' season is a heavy blow to the Knicks, who are in the sprint stage and lack of major generals! This means that once McDyce suffers another injury, or someone on the interior is suspended, the Knicks' interior will be in a dilemma of no one available, and the prospects for the playoffs will become bleak.

However, Arenas' return from the ban is good news for the Knicks, at least the offensive strength of the outside line will be greatly enhanced with the return of the general, and Lamar has such a strong little brother by his side, he can release all his energy, organize the whole team to attack with peace of mind, and no longer have to worry too much about the breakthrough.

In the home game against the Memphis Grizzlies that night, Jeff Van Gundy couldn't wait to put Arenas on the court, but his position changed from point guard to shooting guard because Alan Houston was out of action. It can be seen that Jeff still doesn't trust Bobby Simmons and Johnson, the junior general who has been in serious decline.

Davis's serious injury has put the Knicks' morale a little low, but even so, the New York gang at home is not something the Memphis Grizzlies can handle.

Although the Grizzlies played good games for a while in the opening period under the leadership of the heart bear king Pau Gasol. But soon they were beaten back to their original form by a combination of punches from the Knicks, and then the bandits, who were already depressed, were unforgiving, and pressed the grizzly bear to the ground to be a fat beating.

The Grizzlies, who were already unmotivated, quickly gave up resistance, and only three minutes into the fourth quarter, they replaced all the main players and announced their surrender.

The Knicks didn't stage any drama of "it is advisable to chase the poor bravely", and they replaced all the main players very cooperatively. Jeff sent a bunch of bench players onto the court with a wave of his hand, and even Jackie Butler, who was already guarding the water cooler, was thrown onto the court to sing a big show with the Grizzlies.

Of course, the purpose of this is to conserve energy and prevent players from getting injured in unnecessary games. Because in the next game, the Knicks will face an opponent that cannot be taken lightly, the Philadelphia 76ers.

The two teams are quite harmonious, and Lamar and AI have a bit of a similar feeling. But the opponent is the opponent, and Lamar and the AI will not show mercy on the field just because they are friends with each other!

In the first meeting of the season, the Philadelphia 76ers defeated the mighty Knicks at home thanks to the excellent play of the core player Iverson. At the same time, people are also fortunate to see the great resurrection of the once omnipotent AI. After that game, the 76ers overtook the Knicks to take the top spot in the Eastern Conference standings. Although the 76ers have recently relapsed due to four old injuries, the 76ers' results have become inconsistent again. The Knicks also took the opportunity to complete the comeback and have a tendency to widen the gap between them, but if they fail to defeat their first opponent this season in a head-to-head battle, the Knicks' dream of going further in the playoffs is a bit of an extravagant hope.

Presumably because the game against the Philadelphia 76ers was approaching, Lamar suddenly became a little reticent. I knew that he was immersed in hard work all day long, and the whole person felt gloomy to others, which made everyone dare not talk to him.

Lamar's heart has suddenly become a little manic now, he has been looking forward to the second meeting with the Philadelphia 76ers, he wants to beat his friend AI, after all, the Knicks lost a bit of a bag in the last game.

In that game, the AI was simply a god on the pitch and could do anything. Even though he tried his best but couldn't beat him, the 76ers defeated the Knicks by himself.

Now the opportunity is here again, the opportunity for revenge Lamar doesn't want to miss anymore, he wants everyone to prove it.

It's a pity that things backfired, AI is destined to be impossible to make a comeback before the All-Star break, Lamar faces the 76ers without AI, of course, he can't arouse any interest! Even if he leads the team to defeat the 76ers now? This is not taking advantage of the danger of others!

So Lamar had a fire all day today, and his face was also gloomy.

"What's wrong with Lamar? Looks preoccupied!" Dampotter grabbed McDeis, who had been training with McDece lately, and their relationship began to grow rapidly.

McDyce looked at Lamar, who was not far away, and said, "It's probably the cause of AI's injury, and he can't get revenge for the last game with the 76ers!"

Dampotter shook his fist fiercely: "Isn't it better?AI is injured, we will be able to easily kill those Phillies with ease!"

McDéce glanced at Dampotter (is this guy smart or stupid?), "What's the use of taking out the 76ers? Lamar wants to kill the AI!

"Who said I didn't have anything to do?"

When he played against the Philadelphia 76ers for the first time, Dampoter, a rookie, was still a little immature, and he was completely killed by the old and spicy Mutembo on the court. Especially the big fat man Coleman actually dared to show off his might in front of him, and Dampoter really couldn't swallow this breath.

Jeff Van Gundy, who was standing on the sidelines, watched the players have high morale, and nodded incessantly as they waited for revenge. He found that since the New York Knicks became the New York Gangsters, the players' mental state was noticeably different. Even a shy rookie like Battier in college will inadvertently reveal an arrogant atmosphere when he arrives on the field.

"All run, if you don't want to be at the feet of the Philadelphia 76ers again, do your best! We're running out of time, and those Phillies are waiting at our door right now. If you're going to be a fool, you'd better find another team, this isn't the place for you to spend your days drinking!"

"Samuel, Antonio, are you two damn guys in a relationship? Swing your damn legs, it's time for training, if you want to figure out who has a rounder ass, it's better to wait until you get to change places." Lamar kept yelling, and it could be seen that he was very excited now, and the Philadelphia 76ers had already killed the door. Since the AI is not here now, let's use the other guys from the 76ers as a snack first. (To be continued.) )
