Chapter 347 Fighting the Nets(2/3)
Wu Feng accepted it happily. It was a very comfortable thing to be able to relax at this time.
…………
Deron Williams pretended to trick Wu Feng into a foul, but Wu Feng, who had been learning from Reggie Miller and Clyde Drexler for so many days, naturally could not be fooled.
However, Deron Williams passed the ball back and sent the ball to the sharpshooter Kyle Koval. After Kyle Koval received the ball, he took the ball directly.
With a "swish", Kylkower hit his first three-pointer in the game.
The score on the court became 53:44, and the Nets will sometimes expand the lead to 9 points.
As soon as the third quarter began, the Nets quickly got into the state.
Wu Feng used the ball and quickly advanced towards the Nets' half. Deron Williams watched Wu Feng come to the frontcourt and quickly posted it up.
Since Wu Feng had already made three mistakes before, Deron Williams is also a little careless now. After seeing Wu Feng vaguely revealing his flaws, he immediately stretched out his hand to break Wu Feng's ball.
But just when Deron Williams thought he was going to cut off the ball in Wu Feng's hand again, Wu Feng's mouth suddenly rose, pulled it to the left, and directly threw Deron Williams behind.
Getting rid of Deron Williams' defense, Wu Feng rushed straight toward the Nets' basket.
At this moment, Brook Lopez was guarding the Nets' basket. Brook Lopez didn't dare to easily defend Wu Feng because Al Horford was behind him.
Seeing that Brook Lopez didn't make up, Wu Feng felt secretly proud, and without any pause, he still rushed to the Nets' basket and then layup.
Brook Lopez was anxious now and quickly came up to block the block, but when he rushed to block the block, Wu Feng shook his wrist and the ball reached Al Horford behind Brook Lopez.
After receiving the ball, Al Horford yelled and dunked his hands to score.
"How is this guy... possible? Well, I was careless!" Deron Williams immediately realized his mistake and regretted it.
At the same time, he began to regard Wu Feng as an opponent of the same level as him and competed with him with all his strength.
The Nets' ball rights, Deron Williams dribbled through half the game, and the person who defended him was still Wu Feng.
Deron Williams broke through with the ball at the top of the arc, and then used his teammate's pick-and-roll to get rid of Wu Feng's defense. Then he rushed to a quick stop jumper near the free throw line and the ball took the shot.
Then, just after Deron Williams took the ball, the basketball that was taking off was actually slapped away.
Deron Williams was surprised to find that the one who blocked him was Wu Feng who had been thrown away by him before!
"How is that possible?"
But the facts happened before our eyes. No matter how much we don’t believe it, we have to accept it.
Although he was blocked by one goal, Deron Williams was not depressed or angry. This is one of his advantages and his psychological quality is very good.
The basketball was snatched by Josh Smith and passed it directly to Wu Feng.
Wu Feng dribbled through half the ball and passed it to Al Horford at the basket, who made a layup. However, it was disturbed by Chris Humphries. But then, the ball was judged by the referee as a disturbing ball, and 2 points were counted.
Deron Williams organized the Nets' offense, and Wu Feng was defending him.
All the shots were still aimed at him and Wu Feng, as if they had become the focus of the audience.
Deron Williams slowly dribbled outside the three-point line, looking for an opportunity to attack. However, after searching for a long time, he could not find Wu Feng's flaw.
Wu Feng's defense is like steel and concrete in Deron Williams' eyes. It is unbreakable and has no flaws.
Time passed minute by minute. Deron Williams was still walking back and forth outside the three-point line, with no signs of passing or breaking through, which puzzled most fans.
So, many fans who couldn't help but shouted Deron Williams' name, hoping that Deron Williams could launch an attack soon and teach this yellow-skinned rookie a lesson again.
The audience's expectations and Wu Feng's iron defense made Deron Williams' pressure increase geometrically.
Finally, Deron Williams became anxious and suddenly started, trying to force his breakthrough from Wu Feng's right. The consequence of his impulse was that Deron Williams's men broke through Wu Feng's defense, but the ball in his hand disappeared for no reason!
When Deron Williams turned around, he could only see Wu Feng dribbling the ball and killing for half the game and rushed to the Nets' completely undefensive penalty area.
"How did it come to his hands?"
Deron Williams' heart was filled with shock and doubt because he had no idea how his ball was lost.
But he didn't know, the fans at the scene knew it.
At the moment he broke through, Wu Feng's right hand quickly touched Deron Williams' basketball like lightning, allowing the ball to escape from Deron Williams' control.
While Deron Williams was unable to come back to his senses, Wu Feng quickly slapped the falling basketball on the ground with his left hand and drove the ball to the Nets' half.
After this steal, Wu Feng activated his own extreme speed to run, leaving other Nets team members and his teammates far behind.
Entering the three-point line, Wu Feng grabbed the ball with both hands and took three big steps, focusing all his attention on the basket.
At this time, Wu Feng's heart was beating rapidly, every cell in his body seemed to be beating, and the blood in his body was boiling.
One step, two steps, three steps.
Wu Feng had just stepped across the free throw line, but his body had already flew like an eagle soaring in the sky.
The hearts of every Hawks fan who came to the Phillips Arena with the Hawks were beating nervously, and their blood was boiling like Wu Feng.
Wu Feng held the ball with his hands high, and he slowly approached the basket.
All the fans held their breath and widened their eyes. No one was willing to miss this that might become the best dunk today.
"Bang"
The orange basketball was poured into the basket by Wu Feng's hands, and the entire basketball rack began to shake.
"Squeak squeak", the basket seemed to express its own pain.
Quiet, the entire arena is quiet.
Then, the scene began to become restless.
Wu Feng jumped down, he looked up at the fans in the audience, and then ran towards his half.
"Drip", Nets head coach Avery Johnson asked for a timeout without any surprise.
In this case, he must request a pause. Otherwise, the Eagles will quickly catch up with the gap.
53:50, after Deron Williams assisted Kyle Koval to hit a three-pointer, the Hawks scored a 6:0 wave under Wu Feng's leadership, quickly narrowing the gap to 3 points.
Avery Johnson's timeout was very wise, and in this case, the Hawks' momentum was once again played out. If the Nets did not make adjustments, the 3-point advantage would be fleeting.
The fans at the scene felt very happy. Although Wu Feng was a player of the visiting team, it was a very happy thing to be able to see a battle against the enemy.
In the first half, Deron Williams was undoubtedly the best player among all the players of the two teams. After the third quarter, the best player has gradually changed from Deron Williams to Wu Feng.
However, no one knows who is the winner of today.
Because of this point guard duel, it is still in full swing.
"Yeah, it's great!" The Hawks cheered excitedly from the bench, their cheers drove the scene and all the Hawks fans in front of the computer and TV.
Larry Drew was also extremely excited. Although he had known how great Wu Feng's potential was, what he did not expect was that Wu Feng grew so fast that he could complete such an attack in the confrontation with Deron Williams.
"Jeff, you come on the field!" Looking at Wu Feng's breathless look, Larry Drew was really worried about what would happen to Wu Feng's physical strength.
Moreover, this game was back-to-back matches, so he decided to let Jeff Teague replace Wu Feng and give him enough rest, and fortunately he had a better performance in the fourth quarter.
After Jeff Teague got the instructions from Larry Drew, he quickly stood up from the bench and walked towards the court.
Wu Feng saw Jeff Teague walking to the sidelines. He had taken off his coat and saw Larry Drew nodding to him. Wu Feng immediately knew that he was going to be replaced.
As Josh Smith touched the ball out of the baseline, Jeff Teague replaced Wu Feng on the court.
"Get the time to rest, next we will fight back." Jeff Teague said to Wu Feng with a smile.
Wu Feng nodded and walked towards the bench.
After coming to the court, Jeff Teague was careful to guard against Deron Williams. When Deron Williams took the baseline ball from Marshan Brooks, Jeff Teague immediately put it on and stretched out his right hand to cover Deron Williams' eyes.
Deron Williams made several fake moves in a row, then pulled back and made a jump shot.
The orange basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air, and then drilled into the basket with a "swish".
Jeff Teague swears in a low voice in depression, taking the baseline serve from Josh Smith, and then pushing towards the Nets halftime.
"Little guy, how do you feel now?" Larry Drew walked to Wu Feng's side, sat down, and asked with concern.
Wu Feng took a sip of water, smiled at Larry Drew, and replied: "Well, I'm a little tired. It's really difficult to play with Derek, maybe it has something to do with back-to-back!"
Hearing Wu Feng telling his thoughts truthfully, Larry Drew nodded with satisfaction.
After about two months of getting along, Larry Drew also learned that Wu Feng is the kind of player who speaks straight and does not lie around.
Although sometimes he is impulsive, ostentatious, and a little heroic, Wu Feng's concentration in the game and his respect for others off the court.
Larry Drew found that he was more and more fond of this little guy.
"You have consumed a lot of energy in the process of chasing points just now. Have a good rest. In the fourth quarter, I will let you play. That time is the best time for you to perform." Larry Drew said to Wu Feng with a smile.
"Yeah, I understand." Wu Feng nodded and replied.
Larry Drew took a look at the situation on the court and suddenly looked extremely embarrassed, because the Hawks' outside line is basically defensive by the Nets.
Except for Koksinridge's performance alone, Jeff Teague, who just played, was not Deron Williams' opponent at all.
So Larry Drew replaced the guy without hesitation and replaced Marvin Williams with Josh Smith.
At this time, the Hawks' lineup on the court was a bit strange. Al Horford and Radmanovic combined to form a barrier to the inside. Josh Smith, the man who had been playing power forward before, was arranged to be the small forward. It seems that Larry Drew is determined to play height with the Nets.
In fact, Larry Drew made such a choice in desperation. On the one hand, he did not perform well on the outside, and on the other hand, he had an advantage in the inside. So after replacing Josh Smith, the Hawks' inside line has an advantage, which can cause huge lethality to the Nets' basket.
