The older superstars of the NBA

As soon as Sean Livingston was intercepted, there was a burst of exclamation from the sidelines.Zhao Feiyang, who stole the basketball, reacted quickly, picked up the basketball and sprinted wildly towards the half court.

He ran in front, and Sean Livingston, who had reacted, chased after him. The two came to the basket one after the other. Zhao Feiyang took the lead in raising the basketball and throwing the ball out.

Swish.

The basketball falls firmly into the hoop.

After scoring this goal, Sean Livingston was not only not discouraged, but instead aroused his desire to win.So, he began to cling to Zhao Feiyang's defensive method of death entanglement.

"Zhao, don't try to beat me...I will never let you score..."

Sean Livingston took the initiative to fight physically, resisting his attack while spraying trash talk.

Zhao Feiyang seemed much calmer.

After Zach LaVine took the ball across the half court again, he and Zach LaVine took a little cover, only lightly blocked it, and threw away Sean Livingston and made a direct three-pointer.

Swish.

The basketball falls firmly into the hoop.

Such a sudden pick-and-roll really caught Sean Livingston by surprise.

Even though he continued to defend closely in the next few minutes, he still couldn't stop Zhao Feiyang's scoring from increasing.

With 6 minutes and 09 seconds left in the third quarter, coach Steve Kerr finally couldn't stand it.

He called for the next substitution, and Sean Livingston, who was in a passive state and was losing ground, was replaced by Stephen Curry.

"Sean! Take a good rest!"

Steve Kerr patted Sean Livingston on the shoulder.

The latter looked sad and disappointed when he walked off the field. He seemed very dissatisfied with his performance and frustrated with losing the trust of the head coach.

When Stephen Curry came on stage, Zhao Feiyang finally started to change his strategy.

Stephen Curry and Sean Livingston are not at the same level. Zhao Feiyang doesn't want to entangle too much in the third quarter. If this is the case, he will definitely consume too much energy in the last quarter and can no longer carry the whole ball. team attack.

Therefore, Zhao Feiyang turned on the assist mode, constantly organized the offense on the field, and helped his teammates attract double-teams or open up the situation.

On the offensive end, he gave up the number of shots, and basically handed over the ball to teammates in better positions, guiding them to play actively; on the defensive end, Zhao Feiyang's only goal was Stephen Curry, and he devoted all his energy to it. Mark the opponent to limit the opponent's performance.

This style of play allowed Zhao Feiyang to save energy, but at the same time, it didn't allow Stephen Curry to open up too many points.

At the end of the third quarter between the two sides, the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Golden State Warriors scored 81 to 84.

The Timberwolves are still 3 points behind.

They have been behind for three consecutive quarters. Although the points that have been pulled apart are not too many, this performance undoubtedly further confirms the fact that the overall strength of the Timberwolves is not as good as that of the Warriors.

During the break, the official studio continued to discuss the direction of the game.

"So far, the Timberwolves are only 3 points behind, but I think the Warriors have not tried their best to play, maybe the last quarter is when they fully exert their strength..."

"Stephen Curry scored 19 points and 6 assists, and Zhao Feiyang scored 26 points, 6 assists and 4 rebounds. From the perspective of personal performance, Zhao Feiyang's performance is better than Stephen's, but it can also be explained from the side, that is The Timberwolves depend on him more...."

"The Warriors also have players in other positions, and their cooperation is also very tacit, especially the system of coach Steve Kerr makes them unite together... The Timberwolves' tactics are not bad, but Too much relying on Zhao Feiyang's performance alone, unless other players also perform well, it will be too difficult for them to win the opponent..."

While officials were discussing the game, the support rate on the Internet also changed further.

The number of people who think the Golden State Warriors can win has increased from 70.00% to 90.00%.

Only [-]% of the people think that the Timberwolves still have a chance to win, and among these [-]%, according to the predictions of the fans, most of them are fans from Minneapolis.

In this way, except for the Minnesota Timberwolves' own fans who also support them, almost all fans in other cities in the league stand on the side of the Golden State Warriors.

At the same time, the results of the voting initiated by the anchors of China Central Television have also changed.

Compared with the US side, the results on CCTV's side are even more exaggerated.

The number of people who think that the Warriors can win the final victory is as high as 90.00%, and the number of people who think that the Timberwolves still have a chance to win is only [-]%.

For this [-]%, I'm afraid most of them are Zhao Feiyang's supporters.

Oracle Arena.

Timberwolves on the bench.

The last quarter was about to start, Zhao Feiyang gathered the players together.

"Guys, I just heard from my agent that 90.00% of the fans on the Internet think the Warriors will win us.  …I'm so angry, why don't they want to believe us? Even some of us My fans are like this..."

"But then I figured it out, their distrust is not a bad thing for us... the most interesting thing is to challenge a goal that seems impossible to outsiders, so the less they believe , the more we should defeat them and let everyone see our strength..."

"Let them be surprised, and let the [-]% of the fans who support us not be disappointed..."

As soon as Zhao Feiyang finished speaking, the other players cheered up.

Originally they were also very aware of their situation, but now even their own fans do not support them, which undoubtedly makes many people feel uncomfortable.

This kind of discomfort is the key factor that stimulates them to chase victory.

call out.

The referee's whistle sounded, and the last quarter started.

All the Timberwolves players put their hands together, led by Zhao Feiyang, and shouted victory together.

The core lineups of both sides also made their debut again.

Compared with the first three quarters, the defensive intensity in the fourth quarter is obviously not much greater.

The Timberwolves served, and as soon as Klay Thompson came up, he went to interfere with Zach LaVine's dribble.Stephen Curry also took the initiative to confront Zhao Feiyang physically, and occasionally reached out to interfere with him going up to cover.

After the ball passed halftime, Zhao Feiyang faced the pressure of double-teaming. Zach LaVine planned to pass the ball to him, but Zhao Feiyang waved his hand to others.

Snapped.

The ball was given to Andrew Wiggins on the wing.

Andrew Wiggins got the ball and pretended to raise the basketball to make a shot. After deceiving the opponent's defense, he went all the way to the basket and tried to force a shot.

It's a pity that after encountering Andre Iguodala's defense, Andrew Wiggins could only pass the ball, and Zhao Feiyang, who was in the bottom corner, took advantage of the opportunity to receive the basketball.

But this time he didn't have room to shoot, Stephen Curry blocked his eyes tightly and stuck in front of him to defend.

Zhao Feiyang immediately signaled to Zach LaVine, and the latter ran over to cover. Taking advantage of the moment Zach LaVine blocked him, Zhao Feiyang stood behind him and took the first step.

Swish.

The basketball falls firmly into the hoop.

Zhao Feiyang scored another three-pointer.
