The older superstars of the NBA
Chapter 861 Forced to make a choice (page 12)
"Kevin, you're finally here!"
"Great! We'll wait for you..."
Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson were extremely excited when they saw Durant coming out. They changed their previous attitudes and took the initiative to greet him.
Durant also high-fived and hugged them, as if he didn't mind what he had been left out in the locker room.
"Coach Steve, I want to play!"
Durant walked up to head coach Cole and spoke proactively.
Coach Cole also had a smile on his face, patted Durant's arm, and responded happily, "Not bad! We have been waiting for you..."
"Come on! Guys, it's time for us to beat the Knicks..."
The morale of the entire Warriors team was greatly boosted.
Like them, there were Warriors fans watching from the sidelines. After finding out that Durant was indeed going to play, countless Warriors fans cheered loudly.
"kd!"
"kd!"
"kd!"
call out.
The referee whistle sounded.
Players from both sides appear again.
For the Warriors, Durant is indeed in the lineup. The moment he followed the Warriors players onto the court, the Knicks looked like they were facing a formidable enemy.
"Guys, don't panic! Calm down...Kevin's ankle is injured, he can't play for too long..."
"Let's just continue to maintain the status quo and try not to make mistakes..."
Zhao Feiyang walked onto the court and comforted his teammates.
The Warriors serve.
Snapped.
Curry advanced with the ball, and after halftime, Jeremy Lin came up to defend.
Curry did not choose to go up himself, but gave the ball to Durant on the right. Durant successfully caught the basketball, and even though he hadn't played for several games, he still looked skillful at this time.
One on one.
Durant held the ball and hit Knicks substitute forward Kevin Knox.
The two faced each other, and Durant suddenly started shaking with the ball. Knox looked a little panicked, and kept reaching out to interfere with Durant. Durant did not bother with him, and suddenly changed direction and rushed towards him. Right.
Knox was easily passed by him. After Durant rushed into the two zones, he did not choose a layup. Instead, he jumped up and shot at the right time.
Swish.
A mid-range shot hit the basket steadily.
The ball went in, and all the Warriors fans cheered and screamed.
"Good job!"
"Kevin will lead us to victory!"
The ball returned to the Knicks.
Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball across half court and just past the halfway line. Zhao Feiyang immediately went over to ask for the ball.
Durant's appearance is a huge threat to the Knicks. If the point difference cannot be widened as soon as possible, judging from Durant's performance, the Knicks may really be reversed.
Snapped.
The basketball fell into Zhao Feiyang's hands.
Zhao Feiyang faced Thompson in singles, and the two faced each other. Zhao Feiyang changed direction and threw Thompson away from left to right. After passing the opponent, Zhao Feiyang entered the two zones. Jordan Bell stepped up in time, intending to interfere with Zhao Feiyang's offense.
Zhao Feiyang pretended to pass the ball to Porzingis inside, but actually deceived Bell with a feint. After the opponent misjudged, he rushed into the basket with the ball and threw up.
Snapped.
The basketball hit the backboard and bounced into the basket.
The ball went in.
Time passed by minute by minute.
The Warriors rely on Durant's singles and Curry's outside shots to chase points little by little, while the Knicks rely on Zhao Feiyang's singles ability to continuously widen the gap.
The contest between the two sides was quite tight, leaving no chance for the other side.
call out.
The referee whistle sounded.
Thompson committed a foul on defense.
After being whistled, he spread his hands and looked helpless. The Warriors fans on the sidelines also became agitated and seemed to disagree with the referee's decision.
Fortunately, there were no free throws, but the ball went to the Knicks.
Just as Thompson expressed his dissatisfaction with the referee, Durant, who was standing nearby, suddenly became nervous. He took a few steps and felt something was not right. A burst of pain from below made his heart sink suddenly.
"What's going on here?"
"Isn't something going to happen again?"
Durant glanced at his ankle and subconsciously knelt down to squeeze it with his hands. After finding that the pain became clearer, Durant suddenly became nervous.
He tried to gesture to head coach Cole, who was standing far away, but before he could finish the gesture, the ball was officially awarded.
Snapped.
Zhao Feiyang received a pass from his teammate, and when he got the ball, he was double-teamed by Thompson and Curry. Not intending to force it, he passed the ball decisively, and it happened to be in the hands of Knox on the wing.
Knox originally didn't plan to play in isolation, but when he saw Durant standing there and barely reacting as he was marking him, Knox hesitated for less than a second and decisively chose to attack.
He dribbled the ball all the way to the basket. As he approached the penalty area, he jumped away and threw the ball toward the basket while avoiding interference from Warriors big man Bell.
boom.
The basketball hitting board easily falls into the basket.
The ball went in.
Those were Knox's first two points in the final quarter.
Durant's "eye defense" obviously attracted the attention of many fans, and even made Coach Cole who was watching the game very dissatisfied.
But when his eyes fell on Durant, he realized that Durant had already waved to him.
call out.
Coach Cole reacted quickly and immediately replaced Durant.
To the surprise of the fans, Durant limped toward the bench. This scene obviously attracted a lot of people's attention, and also surprised the opponent Knicks.
"Durant is injured again?"
"No way? Things won't happen so soon, right?"
"There are only 3 minutes and 30 seconds left. If he can't play again, the Warriors will probably lose..."
Also confused is the Warriors' team bench.
Coach Cole came to Durant immediately and asked the team doctor to come over while asking about Durant's condition.
"Kevin, what's wrong with you?"
"The ankle injury has returned again?"
Durant shook his head.
"Coach, I feel that my condition is very bad...I feel pain in my ankle...I don't know if I'm injured again..."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to continue playing..."
Coach Cole's face became extremely solemn when he heard this.
"What a terrible news!"
"The game is about to end now... Why is this happening? No..."
The game continues on the court.
The score between the two sides has reached 99 to 101, and the Knicks are 2 points behind.
After Durant left the court, Curry took the initiative and scored a three-pointer. Not to be outdone, Zhao Feiyang quickly scored a match with Porzingis and others inside under the cover of his teammates.
