The older superstars of the NBA

Zhao Feiyang was very touched by the support from head coach Norman Thomas and his teammates, so he increased the number of shots he took in the following time.

What makes people feel numb is that Zhao Feiyang did not regain any feeling in his subsequent shots, not even a little bit.

He took a total of 11 shots, and except for one of them when he dribbled the ball through the basket and scored, he did not hit a single mid-range or long-range shot the rest of the time.

call out.

The referee whistle sounded.

The first quarter ended for both sides.

The score was tied at 23 to 33. Because of Zhao Feiyang's "excellent" performance, the Knicks were opened up by the Toronto Raptors.

The 10-point gap left the fans at the scene speechless.

Many fans who watched the live broadcast even complained crazily.

"Oh! Man, your shooting percentage is so bad! I never encountered this situation when I felt the worst..."

"Zhao is an amazing player! His upper limit is very high, so high that many stars cannot compare with it. But he is also a player with a very low lower limit, such as the first quarter of today's game... "

"He didn't even make a single shot... Even if it's James Harden who's been clubbing and drinking all night, even if he just got out of bed after touching the basketball, I believe he won't be unable to make a single shot. Enter..."

Break time.

On the team bench, Zhao Feiyang's condition is quite stable. He didn't get sulky because he missed the shot, he just sat in the team bench and watched the cheerleading performance on the court in boredom.

The second quarter arrives.

Coach Norman was going to replace Zhao Feiyang, but Zhao Feiyang declined!

"Coach Norman, I'm going to take a break... let Jeremy go! I think maybe I need to sit here and find my status..."

"Okay! But you can't rest for too long, I will get you up soon..."

In this way, Zhao Feiyang temporarily returned to the bench.

As soon as he comes off the court, the Knicks also make adjustments to their lineup. Tristan Thompson was replaced at the fifth position, Noah Vonleh was replaced at the fourth position, and Andrew Wiggins came off the bench to continue playing the third position he is most familiar with.

Dennis Smith Jr. plays the second position, and Jeremy Lin continues to organize the team's offense.

call out.

The referee whistle sounded.

The Raptors gave the ball away.

Matt Thomas advanced with the ball. After halftime, he gave the ball to Hollis Jefferson on the wing. Jefferson rushed to the basket with the ball and was interfered by Wiggins when he was about to take the shot.

The ball was given again, this time to guard Terrence Davis. Standing at a 45-degree angle from the left three-point line, he decisively raised the basketball and took a shot.

Swish.

A three-pointer was scored.

The basketball fell steadily into the basket.

It was the Knicks' turn to fight back.

Jeremy Lin advanced with the ball, and after halftime he was marked by the opponent. Since his previous performance of 38 points, Jeremy Lin, who was always ignored in defense, has gradually been taken seriously. This time, the opponent directly marked him and did not give him any chance to use pick-and-roll tactics.

Snapped.

The basketball was given to Smith Jr., who rushed into the two areas on the left to try for a mid-range shot. Anubino, who came up as a replacement, stretched out his hand to interfere.

Smith Jr. hurriedly passed the ball and the basketball was given to Wiggins.

Wiggins held the ball and rushed into the basket from the wing. Faced with the disruptor who came up, he did not choose to retreat but faced him.

boom.

Wiggins' dunk failed and the basketball bounced out.

After the rebound flew out, Pascal Siakam planned to jump up and fight for the rebound. However, as soon as he got the ball in his hands, Tristan suddenly rushed up and snatched the basketball away.

After getting the ball, Tristan changed his previous lazy look, slammed the basketball on the ground and jumped up for a two-handed dunk.

boom.

The ball went in.

Tristan's dunk drew gasps from the audience.

Not that this dunk is so amazing! But the fans discovered that the most Buddhist guy on the team actually played a little aggressive, which was in sharp contrast to his previous performance.

"nice shot!"

"Tristan still needs a little pressure! There were no competitors before, so he dared to mess with the team... Now that Drummond is performing so well, if he still dares to be lazy , the team will definitely find a way to trade him..."

Zhao Feiyang, who was sitting on the bench, saw all this clearly, and also knew that Tristan would not continue to indulge himself in a short period of time!

The game goes on.

The Raptors' performance was not as strong as before. Although the substitutes could score one or two wonderful offenses from time to time, they were generally suppressed by the Knicks.

For the Knicks, after Tristan started working hard, the team's rebounds completely fell into his own hands. Similarly, Jeremy Lin on the outside continues to seize opportunities to break through. It seems that his condition is quite stable, especially after developing his three-point shooting skills, his efficiency is much higher than before.

After chasing in the second quarter, the Knicks finally narrowed the point difference to 3 points.

63:60.

The Raptors only have a 3-point advantage.

Half time.

Before Zhao Feiyang returned, the atmosphere within the Knicks was extremely low. Even after Rose, Drummond and others arrived, the entire team's atmosphere was still immersed in defeat.

Moreover, the entire team has no backbone. Although some players are not at odds with each other, they will always stand up and fight for the ball from time to time on the court.

After Zhao Feiyang came back, everything was different!

The atmosphere of the team was the first to change. Everyone knew that the leader was back! They are also willing to follow Zhao Feiyang's arrangements. The previous fights for the ball were not absent, but relatively speaking they were much less.

Although Zhao Feiyang doesn't have much playing time, with him in charge, the entire team's state is completely different.

"Guys, the second half is about to begin!"

"Let's kill the Raptors! Let's take back the victory that belongs to us!"

Under the leadership of Zhao Feiyang, this time the players came on the stage with expectations and enthusiasm. The moment they walked into the tunnel, the spirit of the entire team made the fans on the sidelines extremely happy.

"Feel it? That Knicks team from last season is back! That's back! I'm 100 percent sure it is... because they showed a confidence from the inside out... ....”

"This is the real Knicks! As a championship team, we must show the pride of a championship team..."

Some fans started talking on the sidelines.

The third quarter begins.

Zhao Feiyang appears again.

This time he partnered with Dennis Jr., and the opponent went to the second position, while he went to the first position to control the ball. This is because Zhao Feiyang was afraid of poor touch, so he went out of his way to organize an offense to help his teammates attract defensive attention.

The Knicks serve.

Zhao Feiyang dribbled the ball to the half court, and Kyle Lowry came up to guard him. The two faced each other, and Lowry stretched out his hand to snatch Zhao Feiyang's dribble.

Zhao Feiyang did not rush to pass the ball, but deliberately dribbled to the right.

After everyone else's attention fell on him, Zhao Feiyang suddenly threw a long pass into the paint. Howard caught the ball and dunked under the basket.

boom.

The basketball hit the basket steadily.

The cooperation of the two won rounds of applause from the fans.

It was the Raptors' turn to fight back.

Lowry held the ball to the top of the arc and continued to let his teammates cover. Zhao Feiyang stuck to him and refused to give him any chance to transfer the ball.

Siakam suddenly mentioned the high screen, and Lowry took the opportunity to dribble the ball towards the basket. Zhao Feiyang was blocked for a moment, but he quickly reacted, threw Siakam away and chased towards the basket.

At this time, Lowry had rushed outside the penalty area. Thinking that no one was interfering, he threw the basketball towards the basket after avoiding Howard.

At the critical moment, Zhao Feiyang jumped up high and slapped Lowry's ball to the backboard the moment he took action.

boom.

The whole crowd screamed crazily because of this shot.

The basketball bounced out and was picked off by Drummond.

With the ball in his possession, he threw a long pass into the hands of Dennis Jr., who quickly counterattacked with the ball. Zhao Feiyang chased after him to assist, and the Raptors players also accelerated to interfere.

A group of people rushed to the half court, and when they reached the basket to take a shot, Dennis Jr. found two Raptors players chasing behind him. He was afraid of being blocked and threw the ball decisively.

The basketball fell into the hands of Zhao Feiyang who was at a 45-degree angle outside the three-point line.

After getting the ball, he was stunned for a moment. After hesitating whether to shoot a three-pointer or reorganize the offense, Zhao Feiyang suddenly jumped up and threw the basketball towards the basket.

The fans thought that this shot would definitely bounce out of the basket like before, but no one expected that Zhao Feiyang's bad touch finally disappeared this time!

Swish.

A precise three-pointer hit the basket steadily.

The fans cheered.

It was from this moment that Zhao Feiyang's touch returned! After experiencing various missed shots in the first quarter, he completely unleashed his form in this quarter.

The game goes on.

After the third quarter, Zhao Feiyang took more shots crazily, and his three-pointers fell steadily into the basket one after another.

Such a terrifying shot also gave Lowry, who was guarding him, a headache. The Raptors even had to take double-team measures to restrict him.

Unfortunately, in Zhao Feiyang's heroic state, double-teaming has no effect at all.

No matter how restricted Lowry and VanVleet are, Zhao Feiyang can always find an opportunity to take action. Even if the two of them covered his eyes to block his vision, they could not prevent his three-pointer from falling into the basket.

When the buzzer sounded at the end of the third quarter, the atmosphere in the entire arena reached a climax.

The fans were completely ignited by Zhao Feiyang's performance, and the Knicks led the score to double digits.

Zhao Feiyang single-handedly suppressed the Raptors. He threw 8 three-pointers in this quarter. Together with other breakthroughs and mid-range shots, he scored 34 points by himself.

The Knicks also expanded the point difference to double digits, causing the previously leading Raptors to fall behind.
