Chapter 398 For All Supporters, We Must Win(1/3)
Emma, who was sitting on the sidelines, was also very excited, but she did not react too fiercely. After all, she had been overreacted by Wu Feng's wonderful performance on the court, and was recognized by reporters on the scene and took photos.
So from then on, she would keep a low profile whenever she went to watch Wu Feng's game.
After Wu Feng dunked, a wonderful goal also appeared on the Knicks.
After receiving a pass from Jeremy Lin, Stodmeier faced Josh Smith's defense and used his flexible steps to break through Josh Smith's defense, and then swung his arm and dunked.
Al Horford became the background of Amare Stodmeier's dunk this time. When he came to make up for defense, he was directly "strengthened" by Amare Stodmeier.
As soon as Al Horford, who was angry and embarrassed, came to the frontcourt, he used his outstanding physical fitness to actively get in position. After jamming Jared Jeffries, Horford reached out to ask Wu Feng for the ball.
Wu Feng was so arrogant that he avoided Landry Fields' high-altitude interception, and the ball came to Al Horford's hands.
After Horford received the ball, he said nothing and used his strong body to force Jared Jeffries. Poor Jared Jeffries became his target of venting.
After almost squeezing Jared Jeffries out of the baseline, Al Horford turned around and dunked with both hands. Not only did he make a dunk, but he scored 2 points, he also caused Jared Jeffries to foul.
"Swish", the angry Al Horford seemed to have become accurate in the free throw, and he scored two plus one.
"Al...Ho...Fu...D..." The fans at the scene couldn't help but shout Horford's name. The discount made Horford very excited.
And this two plus one is also a counterattack against Amare Stoudemire. However, poor Jared Jeffries became an innocent victim.
In the last two minutes of the first half, Anthony of the Knicks' "Melon" continued to use his strong body to break through to the basket, either score or commit fouls.
In just two minutes, "Melon" scored 6 points and overtook the score in a blink of an eye.
Seeing Anthony clapping his teammates with his high fives after scoring, Wu Feng clenched his fists tightly.
"We can't continue like this."
In the last 22.2 seconds of offensive time, the Hawks' ball rights.
For this last attack, the Knicks used a full-game pressing defense.
As soon as Wu Feng received Josh Smith's serve, Jeremy Lin followed him firmly. Like a piece of dog skin plaster, it was almost stuck to Wu Feng's body.
However, Wu Feng withstood the pressure brought by Jeremy Lin's pressure on defense. Although he was a little uncomfortable, Wu Feng still brought the ball to the frontcourt.
Wu Feng looked up and glanced at the time, with 7.9 seconds left.
After calculating in his mind, Wu Feng came up with a way to attack for the last time.
I saw him deliberately put forward a flaw and wanted to induce Jeremy Lin to steal him. He also turned right and dribbled the ball while Jeremy Lin made a steal, easily dribbled past Jeremy Lin, and increased his speed to the peak in the shortest time. He went to the Knicks' penalty area.
Jeremy Lin's defensive mistake made Landry Fields and Cameron Anthony hurriedly give up their original defensive opponents and come to double-team Wu Feng, and they also blocked Wu Feng while rushing into the inside.
"The opportunity is here."
After successfully attracting Knicks players to double-team, Wu Feng passed the ball without hesitation, and the direction of the pass was Cork Hinrich at the bottom corner.
Cork Hinrich received Wu Feng's pass very comfortably, then briefly adjusted the rhythm and then threw the ball out.
The entire catch-to-shooting movement was very smooth, and Cork Hinrich also made a very comfortable shot. He had a premonition that this goal would definitely be scored.
The moment the orange basketball flew out from his fingertips, the time on the timer also reached 0.5 seconds.
"Swish". Cork Hinrich made a three-pointer.
"Drip", the whistle sounded at the end of the first half of the game also sounded at this moment.
With Wu Feng's three-pointer assisting Hinrich, the Hawks regained their lead.
With the end of the first half, the score between the two sides became 54:56, with the Hawks leading by 2 points.
"yes!" Wu Feng clenched his fists and then hit the chest with Cork Hinrich who was rushing over.
In the first half, Wu Feng and Cork Hinrich also had a lot of cooperation. Not only did Wu Feng pass a beautiful ball to Cork Hinrich, but also a few beautiful balls to Wu Feng.
The most exciting one was the ball he assisted Wu Feng in the second quarter to dunk.
At the end of the first half and when the game entered the halftime break, the goal of Cork Hinrich assisting Wu Feng to dunk in the air was repeatedly played on the big screen on the scene.
Hinrich's passing skills are quite good, so it is relatively easy for him to pass such a ball.
In the first half, Wu Feng played for twenty minutes and only had four minutes of rest. He was also the player with the longest time in the first half among the two teams.
However, no one was surprised by this, because Wu Feng's physical fitness was so good, and his almost perverted physical fitness was almost comparable to LeBron in Miami.
In the twenty minutes of the first half, Wu Feng made seven of twelve shots, including three-pointers and three free throws, scoring 20 points.
Such extremely high scoring efficiency has made many fans praise and cheer.
However, most fans will not question Wu Feng's ability on the offensive end, because he averaged 20.3 points per game in his rookie season.
This season, Wu Feng's scoring ability has become stronger, with averaging 6.2 points per game, reaching 26.5 points, second only to Durant's 28 points and LeBron James' 27.1 points.
Therefore, Wu Feng's scoring ability is completely unquestionable.
In addition to scoring the team's highest score of 20 points, Wu Feng also sent the highest score of 7 assists in the game. There were also 5 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks.
Wu Feng's performance in the first half can almost be described as perfect.
If it weren't for the physical strength in the second half of the second quarter that made two mistakes, then Wu Feng's performance in the first half would be perfect.
On the Knicks, Wu Feng's opponent, Jeremy Lin, performed very well today. Although he was a little embarrassed by Wu Feng in the first quarter, in the second quarter, he became the "Lin Crazy" who swept the entire league.
11 points and 6 assists, this is Jeremy Lin's data in the first half.
Before going to the locker room, Wu Feng was interviewed by a reporter from the New York Post. Then Wu Feng chatted with Emma Watson, who was sitting in the first row of the field, before returning to the locker room.
"Boss, I think it is necessary for me to defend Anthony in the second half. Although Marvin is defensively oppressive, it obviously does not work against Anthony." Wu Feng suggested to Larry Drew in the locker room after thinking hard.
After hearing Wu Feng's words, Larry Drew nodded and said, "You are right. That guy Anthony has too many offensive methods. It's a bit difficult for Ma Wen to defend him."
…………
In the third quarter, Larry Drew really adopted Wu Feng's suggestion.
The lineup he lined up is: Al Horford, Marvin Williams, Cork Hinrich, Wu Feng and Iverson.
In fact, the height of such a lineup has not been reduced much. Except for Marvin Williams, who is 2.01 meters, who is arranged to be the power forward, the height is not much different from that of other teams.
When Wu Feng was pushed to the front guard, he naturally had to take on the heavy responsibility of defending Cameron Anthony. In addition, he was also responsible for assisting Jeremy Lin.
Larry Drew's move achieved good results in the early stages of the third quarter. Cameron Anthony could no longer easily score on the offense under Wu Feng's defense.
However, a decision will not only benefit, but also come with certain risks.
After Cameron Anthony was unable to effectively enter the Hawks' inside offense, Lin Crazy took on the heavy responsibility of rushing into the Hawks' basket. At the same time, Marvin Williams, who defended Stodmeier, also felt a lot of pressure.
Fortunately, the "Little Overlord" didn't feel very good today, so the Knicks did not catch up with the score difference.
Moreover, after seeing that Marvin Williams could not effectively defend Amare Stoudemire, Horford took the initiative to help Marvin Williams defend Amare Stoudemire.
Knicks center Jared Jeffries, who came from the bench, doesn't have to worry too much, let alone Marvin Williams can put pressure on him.
"Bang" the sound of the body collision between Al Horford and Amare Stoudemire showed the intensity of the game. The two sides were fighting back and forth, constantly engaged in fierce physical confrontation, and the score was in a stalemate and rising.
Horford, who was dunked by Amare Stoudemire in the first half, performed amazingly in the second half, faced a double-team to hit the basket, and once again completed 2+1.
Amare Stoudemire played Marvin Williams alone, then turned around and dribbled away Marvin Williams and successfully made a layup.
…………
In the remaining time of the third quarter, all the Hawks players couldn't find the touch at all. The outside three-pointer even made five shots in the last period, allowing the Knicks to tie the score step by step through stable scoring and then pull it apart.
In the last two minutes, if Wu Feng and Marvin Williams had not been able to take turns to attack the Knicks' inside line through cooperation and personal singles ability, the game might have entered garbage time in advance.
However, although the Hawks chased some points at the end of the third quarter, they still trailed the Knicks by 75:82 and entered the last quarter of the game tonight.
"Jeff, you'll come on later. Let's defend Landry Fields, Marvin, you're defending Anthony, Wu, Jeremy Lin or yours, Al, your defense is Stoudemire, Vladimir, you're defending Chandler."
Although he was so much behind in the score, Larry Drew was not angry, but patiently arranged the tactics.
"Wu, don't hesitate, be more decisive and use your breakthrough to create opportunities for other teammates." Larry Drew instructed Wu Feng on the long side.
"I understand." Wu Feng nodded.
"We need to play more resolutely and more decisively. It doesn't matter if we can't make it, but don't be timid. The defense should be more fierce. Don't be afraid of fouls..."
Soon, a "drip" sounded on the field. The last quarter of the game began.
"Wu!" A familiar voice sounded. Marvin Williams passed it to Wu Feng again.
After Wu Feng received the ball, he lowered his center of gravity and was careful to guard against Jeremy Lin. At the same time, he was also thinking about how to solve the current problems.
Wu Feng understood that the Phillips Arena and the fans outside the Arena were looking forward to leading the team to play beautiful offense and defense, leading the team to defeat the Knicks and win the game.
Besides, Emma Watson was sitting on the sidelines to cheer for herself. So she must not let her down.
Wu Feng's body suddenly moved, he shook his left and took a step with his right foot. Finally, he pressed his center of gravity very low, and used his speed to break into the Knicks' inside from Cameron Anthony's left, and passed through Amare Stoudemire's defensive range from the baseline and entered the penalty area.
Receive the ball and step.
One. Two, Three, Start.
Wu Feng's body soared into the air, and he glided in the air. Then, he smashed the ball into the basket.
"Bang"
The basket kept shaking, as if telling the violent tragedy just now.
A series of clicks sounded on the sidelines. Obviously, the scene just now was photographed by the reporters.
