The older superstars of the NBA

With three minutes left in the game, the Milwaukee Bucks and New York Knicks entered a timeout. The trailing Knicks used a long timeout.

At this time, the team's head coach Norman Thomas stood in front of the team table to arrange tactics.

"The score is now 116 to 106, and we are still 10 points away. It's not that we have no chance to catch up now... DeAndre, you get off the court and take a rest! Tristan, you cooperate with Drummond. , we must protect the rebounds in the paint..."

Coach Norman replaced DeAndre Jordan, who did not perform so well in the comeback battle, and asked Tristan, who came off the bench in this game but grabbed 10 rebounds, to take his place.

Tristan was so happy!

He had been sitting on the bench before, and was even abandoned by the head coach at critical moments. It can be said that after Drummond arrived, his value to the team plummeted.

Now that Jordan is back, there is no need to think that Tristan's ball rights and voice will only be lower than before.

So he went all out in this game, working hard on both the offensive and defensive ends. Finally, his efforts paid off.

"Coach Norman, don't worry! Leave the rebound to me!"

Tristan said.

"Zhao, I need your three-pointer!"

"Derek, if you can shoot, then seize the opportunity to shoot more!"

Coach Norman said as he arranged it.

call out.

The referee whistle sounded.

There was no more time left for everyone to think, and the players quickly appeared again.

The leading Bucks looked very excited. After the timeout, their main players also walked onto the court. As soon as the Knicks sent out the basketball, Wesley Matthews, who was guarding Zhao Feiyang, came in front of him to guard him closely.

Zhao Feiyang handed the ball to Derrick Rose and rushed towards the half court first.

After Rose dribbled the ball through halftime, Zhao Feiyang kept running.

Snapped.

He rushed to Rose and received the pass.

Zhao Feiyang took advantage of the situation and rushed past Rose, and Rose quickly helped Zhao Feiyang to screen and cover. Relying on this cover, Zhao Feiyang avoided Matthews behind him. Although Antetokounmpo Giannis in front of him had already pounced on him, Zhao Feiyang had no intention of giving in.

Swish.

Zhao Feiyang hit Antetokounmpo and threw a three-pointer.

The ball went in.

The New York fans on the sidelines were extremely excited.

The Bucks fought back.

The ball was given to Antetokounmpo. Antetokounmpo rushed across the half court with the ball. As soon as he reached the basket area, Tristan and Drummond stepped up to double-team and interfere.

Antetokounmpo was not afraid at all, and even wanted to overpower the two of them and end the battle with a dunk.

He jumped up high, pushed the two of them away with his body and threw the basketball towards the basket. Unfortunately, Tristan still withstood the pressure and did not let Antetokounmpo knock away. Drummond behind him slapped Antetokounmpo away. The dunk was pressed down.

Snapped.

The whole audience exclaimed.

The fans screamed.

The basketball fell out, and this time Tristan reacted faster and rushed forward to seize the ball. When Antetokounmpo rushed up to fight for it, Tristan glanced at the court and immediately threw the ball away when he saw Zhao Feiyang.

The basketball fell into Zhao Feiyang's hands.

Standing in the middle line, he caught the ball and immediately rushed to the bottom corner of the Bucks' left three-point line.

Lift the basketball and take a decisive shot.

Swish.

Another three-pointer hit the basket steadily.

Seeing two consecutive three-pointers scored, the Bucks were a little panicked. When the ball came out again, there was no rush to give it to Antetokounmpo. Instead, the opponent's defender Eric Bledsoe advanced with the ball.

This time it's the Bucks' turn to suffer!

Bledsoe had just passed halftime when Zhao Feiyang and Rose suddenly double-teamed, and the two of them reached out to snatch the ball at the same time. Bledsoe didn't even realize what was happening before he noticed his dribble was slapped away.

The basketball rolled to the ground. Bledsoe tried to grab it back, but Rose blocked him and refused to give him a chance. Zhao Feiyang rushed forward to seize the ball.

Snapped.

Zhao Feiyang threw it to Rose, and the two sprinted towards the half court together.

When he was approaching the Bucks' basket, Antetokounmpo came from behind and tried to chase the goal. Zhao Feiyang cleverly stood in front of Antetokounmpo and successfully found a dunk opportunity for Rose.

Amid the cheers of the fans in the audience, Rose leapt high and slammed the ball into the basket with a two-handed dunk just like he did in his prime a few years ago.

boom.

The ball went in.

After landing, Rose's face was filled with joy, and the Knicks fans on the sidelines also recalled his explosive performances back then.

"Hey! Derek! Better be careful...it's better to avoid dunks like this..."

Zhao Feiyang reminded.

Ross also gradually woke up from the excitement. He replied to Zhao Feiyang with a grateful look on his face, "Zhao! Thank you for the reminder! You are right! Now I am not the same person as before... But thanks to you Cover! Man, this shot was thanks to you..."

There isn't much time left on the court.

The Knicks finally took the lead, and saw the game time running out little by little. When there were only 11 seconds left in the game, the score was 125 to 124.

The Knicks lead by 1 points.

The Bucks tried to pursue, and at the last moment the ball was handed to Antetokounmpo. Antetokounmpo rushed toward the half court under the tight defense of the Knicks.

His dribbling was a little bumpy, and he was almost snatched away by Zhao Feiyang and Rose on the way. Fortunately, he was able to reach the half court smoothly under the cover of his teammates.

Seeing that the timer was about to reach zero, Antetokounmpo also forced the ball to be thrown out under the interference of Tristan.

The moment the basketball was thrown, everyone's eyes were focused on this basketball. Everyone knows that the game is over! Regardless of whether Antetokounmpo scores or not, this wonderful Christmas battle will come to an end.

boom.

The basketball bounced out of the basket.

As expected, Antetokounmpo still failed to score a three-pointer!

The fans in the audience cheered wildly, and many people applauded and shouted to the players on the field.

At the end of the game, the players on both sides also returned to a rational state. Even Antetokounmpo Giannis, who had often quarreled with Zhao Feiyang before, stepped forward and took the initiative to take the shot.

"Zhao, congratulations on winning the game!"

"Giannis! Learn a little bit and see how us old guys play..."

Zhao Feiyang deliberately joked.

Antetokounmpo showed a helpless smile, "Damn! I really shouldn't praise you!"

Both sides looked at each other and smiled.

At the end of the game, Antetokounmpo left with the Bucks players, and the Knicks players also headed to the locker room one after another under the leadership of Zhao Feiyang.

After the Christmas battle between these two teams, the records of the other six teams were quickly released.

The Miami Heat defeated the Toronto Raptors with a score of 121 to 116.

Jimmy Butler once again made a contribution in this game. As the core of the team, he scored a game-high 27 points, while also grabbing 9 rebounds and 4 blocks.

In the same-city derby between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Los Angeles Clippers, LeBron James led the team to victory.

He scored a game-high 28 points alone, while also dishing out 6 assists and 6 steals.

Led the team to defeat the Clippers 130-120.

Leonard's performance was not bad either, scoring 27 points and 10 rebounds. Unfortunately, he failed to successfully organize the entire Clippers team to counterattack, and ultimately lost the game.

The game between the Denver Nuggets and the Utah Jazz ended with a score of 116 to 111. In the end, the Nuggets won with a 5-point gap.

Among them, Nikola Jokic scored 21 points and 13 rebounds, and Jamal Murray scored 18 points and 9 assists. Their statistics were also the key to the Nuggets' victory.

After the Christmas Day series, each team begins to move towards the mid-season.

The Knicks continued their winning streak. Under the leadership of Zhao Feiyang, the team played forward with momentum. No matter who the opponent was, they never put too much pressure on them.

This performance also helped the Knicks win 30 consecutive games.

When this record appeared, it made the entire league feel incredible. After all, the last time a team won 30 consecutive games dates back to the 1971-1972 season, when the Los Angeles Lakers had a 33-game unbeaten streak.

The one who is slightly behind them is the Golden State Warriors in the 2015-2016 season.

That season, the Warriors won a record 28 consecutive games. In the end, they won 73 regular season games. Such an outstanding record also shocked the entire league.

The only thing that wasn't perfect was that that season they eventually lost 3-4 to the Cleveland Cavaliers led by LeBron in the Finals.

If they had also won the championship that season, I'm afraid they would have become gods in any season in NBA history.
