The older superstars of the NBA

As the game passed halfway through the second quarter, the New York Knicks' second unit gradually fell into a disadvantage. The original score difference between the two teams was gradually widened by the Los Angeles Lakers.

In this case, Zhao Feiyang, who is the core, has to appear again.

call out.

The Knicks serve.

Jeremy Lin advances with the ball, and Zhao Feiyang temporarily plays the second position. After the ball passed halfway, Zhao Feiyang tried to catch the ball, but Danny Green stuck to him and kept reaching out to interfere.

Even so, Zhao Feiyang still blocked Danny from catching the basketball.

After getting the ball, he played one-on-one with the ball, changed directions and shook it, then raised the basketball and shot. Bang, this time his touch was not very good, and the basketball he threw hit the basket and bounced out.

Dwight Howard in the paint jumped up to grab the rebound. As soon as the ball reached his hands, the thick-eyebrow brother seized the opportunity and snatched the basketball away.

This scene caused exclamations from the fans at the scene and also made Howard very unhappy.

He also planned to go up and snatch it, but unfortunately Brother Big Eyebrow had already passed the ball out immediately.

Snapped.

The basketball was given to Rajon Rondo. Rondo accelerated and LeBron followed behind him. The two quickly rushed to the half court. Rondo attracted the defensive attention of others. When the players under the basket thought he was going to layup, Rondo suddenly threw the ball with an empty pass.

LeBron followed up and repeated his old trick, jumping high into the air for a two-handed alley-oop dunk.

Seeing LeBron score, the thick-browed brother standing at half court was also very happy. He clapped and cheered, not noticing that Howard looked a little strange next to him.

When the Knicks attacked again, this time Zhao Feiyang had just gotten the basketball, and Howard inside suddenly came out to catch the ball.

He blocked Brother Big Eyebrow from letting him come up, and he stretched out his hand towards Zhao Feiyang to ask for the ball.

"Zhao, here! Give me the ball."

Howard rarely took the initiative to look for such singles opportunities, so Zhao Feiyang didn't think much and gave the ball to him with a ground pass.

After getting the ball, Howard started to hit the thick-browed brother with his back. He hit twice first, then suddenly started to rush towards the basket.

Seemingly avoiding the thick-browed brother, Howard decisively threw the basketball toward the basket.

boom.

Amid the exclamations of the fans in the audience, Brother Big Eyebrow leaped high and slapped the basketball out of Howard's hand. This block was so neat that even many players were stunned, not to mention Howard himself.

"wtf?"

"How could this be?"

Howard looked depressed as he watched the basketball go out of bounds.

At this time, he really couldn't figure it out.

"Am I really old? I'm one year younger than LeBron... He can do all kinds of dunks... Why can't I?"

"Although my self-discipline is not very good..."

Muttering in his heart, Howard himself was a little embarrassed to compare with LeBron.

LeBron is really strict with himself. Fans can say that he is clinging to a team, or that he has made a bad start, but when it comes to basketball and training, LeBron's self-discipline is among the best in the league.

Many superstars have completely different attitudes towards this. After all, most people focus on enjoyment. Even if they are a little strict, they will not tighten their nerves all the time.

But LeBron is different. Even when he goes to China to play games, he has to bring his nutritionist with him in order to strictly follow the diet and maintain his physical condition.

And what about Howard?

He has a lot of extravagant jobs in private, and judging from the fact that he went around mercilessly and created many illegitimate children, Howard must have been exercising his kidney function a lot.

In this case, it is naturally impossible to have self-discipline.

If top athletes do not control their bodies and indulge in wanton indulgence, no matter how good their physical fitness is, they will eventually be exhausted!

There is no plowed land, only exhausted cows. Even a Lamborghini with a golden cow on the car cannot withstand the consumption of burning engine oil for a long time.

Thinking that his condition was indeed not good, Howard didn't have any worries at all! As a star with a relatively happy mentality, he is completely able to accept the fact that he is old!

After all, age can lie but body can’t! Fortunately, I had the same style of play when I was at my peak, and now I have other styles of play as I get older. The experience of more than ten years is still helpful.

Soon the ball was given again.

The Knicks still control the offense. This time Howard did not continue to act recklessly, but chose to move up to the high post to help cover Zhao Feiyang, who was holding the ball.

Zhao Feiyang took advantage of the situation and drove to the basket. Unexpectedly, the thick-eyebrow brother had noticed Howard's move a long time ago. He discovered that Howard was planning to cooperate with the alley-oop and immediately filled in.

His replacement blocked Howard's possibility of cooperation, and also allowed Zhao Feiyang, who rushed to the basket, to choose to take the shot himself.

Snapped.

During the interference, Zhao Feiyang made a pull-up layup and sent the ball into the basket.

beep.

The first half of both sides finally ended.

Zhao Feiyang came on late, so he failed to lead the team to recover the point difference. After the two sides played this quarter, the Lakers also led by 9 points.

For the two teams, the gap is not big, at least not enough to determine the winner with these 9 points.

The second half.

After two quarters of time, LeBron finally took a break this time.

The Lakers put on their bench.

The Knicks had no intention of giving up. While LeBron was off the court, Zhao Feiyang continued to lead Derrick Rose and others to play.

Perhaps it was because everyone was in good shape. After the start of this quarter, the Knicks quickly came out with a wave of outside output.

First, Rose threw a three-pointer from the top of the key, and then Zhao Feiyang hit another three-pointer from the bottom corner.

After the two scored three-pointers, Adrian, who came on as a substitute, also opened up and threw a three-pointer from the right corner.

The continuous three-point offensive forced the Lakers to change their defensive strategy and expand their defense to interfere with the Knicks' outside output.

Unfortunately, this approach is of little use.

The Lakers simply don't have any players who can guard Zhao Feiyang. Even Danny Green, who performs best, is still not enough in front of Zhao Feiyang.

This also makes the Lakers unable to effectively restrict him. Even if it has affected Rose's three-pointers, they can only watch Zhao Feiyang continue to seize the opportunity to output.

Seeing this situation, LeBron did not rush to play this time, but allowed the team coach Franger Vogel to continue to arrange the lineup.

The points between the two sides were getting closer, and towards the end of the third quarter, the Knicks, who had been trailing by 9 points, not only caught up with the score, but also overtook the Lakers by 11 points.

As soon as the score difference came out, it seemed that the Lakers' situation was not optimistic.

With such a score difference, the two sides finally ushered in the final quarter.
