Chapter 941 Eastern Conference Battle with Bucks 3
The game actually entered the third quarter at 9 minutes and 11 seconds. Within a few minutes after Zhao Feiyang came on the court, he planned to narrow the score gap with his three-pointer, but he did not expect that his touch had been so stable since the series. But it got worse.
call out.
The referee whistle sounded.
Coach Norman Thomas was replaced.
Perhaps sensing that Zhao Feiyang's condition was a bit up and down, coach Norman chose to temporarily replace him and rest. Jeremy Lin replaced Zhao Feiyang.
The Knicks continued to serve.
Jeremy Lin advanced with the ball, and after halftime Zach LaVine came up to catch the ball.
Snap, the ball was given to LaVine. LaVine was planning to play in isolation, but the defensive player on the left was already ready to double-team. LaVine saw this and passed the ball back.
After getting the ball, Jeremy Lin took advantage of the situation and rushed to the basket. At this time, Dwight Howard also came up to cover the pick-and-roll. Jeremy Lin seized the opportunity and entered the basket.
However, Howard, who was supposed to follow up, was half a beat too slow to follow up, so Jeremy Lin who rushed to the basket quickly encountered Antetokounmpo Giannis' replacement.
Snapped.
Antetokounmpo Giannis slapped Jeremy Lin's layup away.
The whole place was in an uproar.
This time, it was Eric Bledsoe who took the ball first in the chaos. After getting the ball, he quickly advanced towards the half court.
LaVine went after him for a one-on-one. After he blocked Bledsoe, Bledsoe threw the basketball to George Hill behind him. Hill caught the ball and jumped for a dunk.
boom.
The ball went in.
Soon the Knicks continued to fight back.
Jeremy Lin just got the ball, and this time Bledsoe came directly to mark him. The two faced each other. Jeremy Lin tried to block Bledsoe from stealing the ball. However, Bledsoe was too fast and suddenly attacked him from behind.
Snapped.
The basketball rolled out.
Jeremy Lin panicked and rushed to grab it, but Bledsoe was one step ahead of him. After picking up the basketball, Bledsoe did not hesitate and accelerated towards the half court.
The two of them reached the basket one after another. Jeremy Lin was in a sluggish state at this time and did not have much energy to catch up and block the shot.
Bledsoe also took advantage of the situation and threw the ball for a layup.
Snapped.
Basketball strikes again.
After Zhao Feiyang was temporarily replaced, Jeremy Lin on the court not only failed to organize the team's offense, but also made several inappropriate mistakes.
These mistakes caused the already widened point difference to become wider and wider.
call out.
The third quarter came to an end, with the score tied at 94 to 84. The Knicks trailed the Bucks by 10 points.
Players from both sides exit the field.
Antetokounmpo Giannis looked very proud as he walked to the Bucks bench. He high-fived his teammates in celebration and said, "Great job! Man!"
"That's it! We not only have to beat them by 10 points! We also have to beat them by more..."
"So what if they are No. 1 in the Eastern Conference? We will still defeat them..."
Giannis' words were full of dissatisfaction with the Knicks.
The last section is coming soon.
Zhao Feiyang went into battle again, and this time, Derrick Rose came up to partner with him. The team also replaced Andre Drummond and Tristan Thompson on the inside, and Adrian continued to move up the wing position.
call out.
The referee whistle sounded.
The Knicks serve.
As soon as Zhao Feiyang threw the ball into Rose's hands, the Bucks' defensive players pounced on him. Zhao Feiyang took the initiative to help Rose cover. After Rose pulled away and rushed towards the half court, he trotted towards the opposite side.
Rose organized the attack at the top of the arc and first gave the ball to the wing. If the wing was unable to hit, he transferred the ball back. Then Rose gave the ball to Zhao Feiyang, who came up to prepare for a one-on-one singles.
What surprised him was that he had just gotten the ball, and this time it was Antetokounmpo Giannis who came up to switch defense!
"What is this guy going to do?"
Seeing Antetokounmpo coming up to guard closely, Zhao Feiyang was obviously a little confused.
However, he continued to get ready for singles, and he had no intention of giving in just because Antetokounmpo was coming to defend.
One on one.
The two met each other, and Zhao Feiyang started to shake while dribbling. He knew that Antetokounmpo's body center of gravity was much higher than his, so he made a sudden move towards the basket after changing continuously.
In terms of speed, Antetokounmpo was certainly no match for Zhao Feiyang, so he was quickly left behind by Zhao Feiyang.
However, Zhao Feiyang obviously underestimated Antetokounmpo's physical condition. When he was about to rush to the basket, Antetokounmpo had already pounced on him.
Seeing Antetokounmpo reaching out his hand as if he was going to block himself, Zhao Feiyang rushed to the other side of the basket and threw the ball with a backhand layup.
Snapped.
The basketball fell steadily into the basket.
Zhao Feiyang's backhand layup allowed Antetokounmpo to be blocked by his teammates and successfully avoided an interference.
Zhao Feiyang just scored here, and the Bucks immediately sent the ball over there.
Antetokounmpo personally held the ball and rushed towards the half court. After reaching the top of the arc, he turned around and rushed into the basket under the interference of the two people.
The Knicks wanted to double-team Antetokounmpo. Unexpectedly, Antetokounmpo did not choose a layup this time. Instead, he threw a throw into the backboard when he rushed to the basket.
boom.
The ball went in.
The battle between the two sides became more and more intense, and Zhao Feiyang and Antetokounmpo Giannis, as the core, began to exert their strength.
In the next few minutes, the two men each scored, and the point difference between the two sides remained at around 7 points.
Seeing that the time came to the last 3 minutes, Zhao Feiyang finally decided to turn on the long-range shooting mode. After the ball passed half court, Rose held the ball at the top of the arc to observe the situation on the court. Zhao Feiyang came up and asked him for the ball to prepare for a three-pointer.
Snapped.
The basketball was given to him. Zhao Feiyang raised the basketball and took a decisive shot. Bang, the basketball bounced out and fell into the crowd.
Fortunately, Andre Drummond reacted quickly and slapped the ball into the hands of his teammate Adrian Ennis. Adrian looked for an opportunity on the wing, dribbled the ball twice and found that the opponent's defense was tight, so he scored A long pass was thrown to Zhao Feiyang in the left corner.
Zhao Feiyang took action again.
boom.
Still failed to score a three-pointer.
The fans at the scene all lamented, and the teammates on the bench also shook their heads helplessly. But Zhao Feiyang still insisted on taking the shot. When the rebound was taken again, he still asked his teammates for the ball.
This time the Bucks' Hill was guarding him. Zhao Feiyang feinted away from the latter, followed by a step back and threw another three-pointer.
Hill may have seen Zhao Feiyang miss one after another before, so he didn't try his best to interfere. Unexpectedly, it was his relaxed attitude that allowed Zhao Feiyang to successfully score a three-pointer this time.
Swish.
The moment the basketball fell steadily into the basket, Zhao Feiyang felt that his touch was finally back!
Soon, the Bucks counterattacked. After half the fast break, the ball was taken by Khris Middleton. He rushed to the basket with the ball. When he took the shot, he encountered Tristan Thompson's defense, and the basketball fell to the ground. Pops off the backboard.
The rebound was picked off by Drummond.
After throwing a long pass, Rose rushed across the half court on a fast break and encountered interference from the opponent's defender Bledsoe when he entered the basket.
Faced with this situation, Rose decisively passed the ball to Zhao Feiyang who was following up behind him.
After receiving the ball, Zhao Feiyang jumped up and took a shot from the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the right side.
Swish.
A three-pointer hit the basket steadily.
His touch has definitely returned!
After a second consecutive three-pointer, the point difference between the Knicks and Bucks narrowed to just 1 point.
Less than a minute later, Zhao Feiyang broke through to the basket and scored a 2+1. At the same time, relying on Rose's screen, he shot a long three-pointer from the top of the key.
The Knicks took the lead before the end of the game and opened the point difference to 4 points.
call out.
The referee whistle sounded.
Both sides paused.
With only 17 seconds left before the end of the game, the Bucks had the ball. Team coach Mike Budenholzer called a timeout.
After the Bucks players returned to the team bench, Budenholzer quickly arranged the final tactics.
For the Knicks, head coach Norman Thomas also made adjustments to the lineup at the last minute. The ones he sent were the trio of Zhao Feiyang plus Drummond and DeAndre Jordan.
call out.
The pause ends.
The Bucks serve.
At the last moment, under the Knicks' guard, the Bucks sent the ball to defender Hill. Hill advanced with the ball. After halftime, Zhao Feiyang went up to guard the ball in person. Under one-on-one interference, the basketball in Hill's hand almost fell out.
Snapped.
Hill gave the ball to Bledsoe, who had no choice but to use the pick-and-roll to throw a three-pointer from the outside.
boom.
Sure enough, the basketball bounced out of the basket.
The basketball that bounced off was picked off by Antetokounmpo Giannis. This time, Jordan and Drummond did not try their best to interfere, but made room for him to score.
boom.
Antetokounmpo hit the ball with a dunk.
114:112.
The Bucks were only 2 points behind.
However, there was only the last 2.5 seconds left.
The Knicks quickly sent the ball out, catching the Bucks off guard, and Adrian, who got the ball, immediately threw the ball towards the half court.
It was just a casual throw, but Adrian was lucky this time, and the basketball he threw actually scored at the last moment.
Swish.
The moment the basketball fell into the basket, the New York fans in the entire arena couldn't help but scream.
117:112.
The Knicks ended the game within five points, defeating the Bucks at home at Madison Square Garden.
After the game, the fans cheered wildly and the players clapped and celebrated together.
Antetokounmpo, Giannis and others looked very frustrated after losing the game, perhaps because of the fan before. This time he left with resentment and did not even shake hands with the Knicks.
Zhao Feiyang didn't know about this, but he didn't go into it. Anyway, the game was won!
In this game, he scored 31 points, 10 assists and 7 rebounds. It can be said that he was a major contributor to the Knicks' victory.
On the first night when the statue was officially unveiled, Zhao Feiyang gave the fans a satisfactory answer with his winning move.
