The older superstars of the NBA

113:111.

The Golden State Warriors successfully took the lead at the last moment with Kevin Durant's key three-pointer.

There are only 17 seconds left before the end of the game.

It looked like the Knicks had another chance to fight back.

Time waits for no one. Although it was very surprising that Durant was taken off the field, the next game will continue.

Snapped.

The Knicks gave the ball away and the ball was given to Jeremy Lin.

Zhao Feiyang was supposed to advance directly with the ball, but he was trapped by Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. It is not easy to catch the ball in this situation. In order to prevent unnecessary mistakes, Zhao Feiyang took the initiative to help Jeremy Lin attract the defense and let him pass with the ball.

After halftime, Jeremy Lin seemed to be planning to give the ball to Zhao Feiyang, but in the next second he suddenly rushed to the right with the ball. After DeAndre Jordan reached the high post, Jeremy Lin successfully used his screen to reach the two zones.

boom.

Jeremy Lin threw a ground-breaking pass, and the basketball passed by two Warriors players and fell right into DeAndre Jordan's hands.

Jordan, who caught the ball, also rushed to the basket smoothly and was about to raise the basketball for a dunk.

At such a critical moment, Warriors backup center Andrew Bogut stepped in.

After Jordan jumped up, he also jumped up. The two met in mid-air. When Jordan tried to smash the ball into the basket, Bogut jumped high and used his own tonnage to block Jordan. .

Snapped.

Jordan dunked hard, but the basketball did not hit the basket, but bounced to the right side of the basket and fell out.

Unfortunately, it was Jordan Bell who took the rebound.

The first time he got the ball, Porzingis rushed towards him. Bell didn't hesitate and threw the basketball towards Andre Iguodala standing in the right corner.

After receiving the basketball, Iguodala glanced at the timer and found that there were only 2.1 seconds left before the end of the game, so he decisively chose to hug the basketball tightly in his arms.

beep.

The end of the game sound sounded.

Oracle Arena went into wild cheers.

The Warriors defeated the Knicks by 2 points and finally won the game for themselves.

After winning this battle, the score between the two sides also became 1 to 2. Although the Warriors were still lagging behind, at least they could have a temporary breathing space.

Jordan, who failed to dunk, still stood there and sighed. It seemed that he was blaming himself. Upon seeing this, Zhao Feiyang came over and patted his shoulder to comfort him.

"DeAndre, don't think too much! It's okay to lose one game. We can win it back in the next game..."

"But...Oh! I should have passed the ball if I had known earlier..."

"It's okay... Now that we have lost one game, maybe we can win the next two games... In that case, we can win the O'Brien Cup at our home court. ..."

Zhao Feiyang's comfort had some effect, and Jordan quickly cheered up.

The Warriors were so excited after winning the game. Curry, Thompson and others cheered together. This appearance was not a bit worse than before.

They were always the winning team back then!

"Congratulations!"

Zhao Feiyang took the initiative to go up and greet Curry and Thompson.

After Thompson high-fived, he was called away by other teammates, while Curry stayed to chat with Zhao Feiyang.

"Zhao, I'm curious, why do you still congratulate us when we win? This doesn't seem like you should be saying it..."

Curry asked.

Zhao Feiyang looked calm, "I remember seeing an interview before, and I forgot which player in your team said it... It probably meant that this was just an ordinary game, but the opponent was cheering for joy. This proves that They are afraid, they are afraid of us..."

"They wouldn't be so excited if they just beat an insignificant opponent..."

"Stephen, I will always remember these words. That time you did defeat the Cavaliers led by LeBron and win the final championship..."

Curry's face gradually became serious.

If Zhao Feiyang was just talking nonsense, Curry certainly wouldn't care.

However, what Zhao Feiyang said is true. Today's Warriors are indeed afraid of being beaten by the Knicks. Otherwise, they would not force Durant to play even though they knew he was injured.

This would have been impossible before!

"You are remembering it wrong! No one has ever said such a thing..."

Curry showed an awkward smile, turned around and left after saying this.

After saying hello, Zhao Feiyang also returned to the locker room with his teammates.

The Knicks did not recover from the loss. The players seemed to be in good condition. Head coach Norman Thomas did not blame Jordan for failing to dunk in the game. No one else mentioned it. It seemed Everyone is waiting for the next one to come.

The major TV stations in Auckland that night were extremely lively.

The reason is also very simple. First, the Warriors finally won; second, there is the latest progress in Durant's injury.

It's not big news that the Warriors won. After all, they only won one game temporarily, which is nothing to the fans.

Durant's injury situation really touches the hearts of many Warriors fans.

Today's key shot was made by him! Without that three-pointer, the Warriors would have a high probability of losing tonight! It can be said that Durant became the major contributor to saving the Warriors!

If the Warriors can comeback and win the championship in the future, Durant's goal will definitely go down in the history of the team.

"According to Warriors staff, KD was seriously injured, possibly due to a ruptured Achilles tendon..."

When this rumor came out, fans still didn't believe it at first. After all, injuries like Achilles tendon rupture are not simple. No matter what kind of outstanding athlete, as long as there is a problem with the Achilles tendon, his career is completely likely to be ruined.

There has never been a shortage of talented players in the NBA, but after suffering an injury like a ruptured Achilles tendon, these players will never be able to play their former form even if they recover.

For example, Brandon Jennings, a super rookie in the same class as Curry.

Jennings' performance was even better than Curry's at the beginning. As a fledgling, he scored 50 points in a single game during his rookie season and became the youngest "Mr. 50 Points" at the time.

At that time, the Milwaukee Bucks really liked this young man. The team management didn't even think too much when they drafted him with the 10th pick. However, he performed extremely well and once made the Bucks Management and fans see hope in the rise.

Although Jennings failed to perform better with the Bucks later, he was still a quasi-All-Star defender in the league at that time. It was not until the 15-16 season that Jennings was injured in the game and ruptured his Achilles tendon. .

After an 11-month recovery period, Jennings returned to the court and was no longer the talented guy he once was. His scoring average dropped from 15.5 points to 7.7 points per game, followed by constant transfers. Start your career downhill.
