Chapter 401 Guarding the home court(2/2)
Now, the score on the field has become 70:71. The Hawks narrowed the gap to only one point behind.
Now, there are 23 seconds left before the third quarter. The Knicks still have a last chance to attack.
Balang Davis dribble slowly came to the frontcourt, trying to play the rhythm. After winning this offense, the Hawks have no time to attack.
Balang Davis passed the ball to Cameron Anthony. Cameron Anthony looked up and looked at the time, with 9 seconds left.
At this time, Cameron Anthony began to break through with the ball.
After Jeremy Lin left the field, the offensive leader on the field was naturally Cameron Anthony.
However, during the breakthrough, Cameron Anthony made a fatal mistake and asked to be cut off by Jeff Teague.
There are only the last 3.8 seconds left.
After Jeff Teague received the ball, he ran with all his might, boosting his speed to the fastest, and then avoided Balang Davis' block and made a buzzer-beating layup.
"Swish", with Jeff Teague scoring 2 points with a layup, the Hawks finally overtook the score.
72:71, the Hawks overtook by 1 point.
At the end of the third quarter, the scores of both sides were frozen at 72:71, and the Hawks overtook their opponent by 1 point.
This quarter is crucial for the Hawks.
However, although the Hawks have now surpassed 1 point, it is very difficult to take away this victory at the Knicks' home court.
"Ayer, in the first few minutes of the last quarter, you'll stay on the bench and have a good rest. Tonight's game is harder than we expected, so we need your contribution on the court," Larry Drew said to Al Horford, who was drinking a drink on the bench.
Al Horford nodded and replied, "Boss, don't worry."
Larry Drew nodded, then asked Wu Feng: "Wu, how are your physical strength now?"
Wu Feng smiled and said, "Boss, it doesn't matter, you can just play the last section."
"Okay, you can play with Jeff! You play the second position, so that Jeff can share the pressure on your organization, and you can also play a little easier. Wait until the middle and late stages of the fourth quarter, and then adjust you." Larry Drew arranged.
Wu Feng naturally had no other meaning in regard to Larry Drew's arrangement.
Although Wu Feng mostly appears on the court as a playback, he is not unable to play in the shooting guard. On the contrary, he plays in the shooting guard, but there is no pressure at all.
At the shooting guard position, his height and health are fine.
Soon, the fierce fourth quarter game began.
Since the opening jump was won by the Hawks, the first ball right in the last quarter was the Hawks.
At this time, Jeremy Lin had not returned to the court, so Wu Feng could take advantage of this opportunity to widen the gap.
Wu Feng broke through with the ball, and made a wonderful pass toward Marvin Williams at the basket. The latter jumped up after receiving the ball, and dunked through Tyson Chandler.
"Drip", the referee blew the whistle first.
Immediately afterwards, with a "bang", it rang again at the Madison Square Garden Arena.
Two plus one.
Marvin Williams made a free throw, but unfortunately, the free throw was not made, and the rebound was protected by Tyson Chandler.
Just when the Hawks fans believed that the situation on the court gradually fell into the Hawks' side, the situation on the court changed again.
Cameron Anthony suddenly made a three-pointer and tied the score again.
74:74
Wu Feng passed the ball to Cork Hinrich after a breakthrough, who made a layup.
Just as the Hawks were playing again, the Knicks gave them another painful blow.
Amare Stoudemire made consecutive shots from the inside and scored 4 points. Immediately afterwards, the Knicks began to show off their power from the outside, and Landry Fields and Cameron Anthony suddenly made two consecutive three-pointers from the outside.
Fortunately, after Wu Feng broke into the inside, he passed the ball to Josh Smith, who made a layup and then assisted Marvin Williams to hit a three-pointer.
Three-pointers have also become the Knicks' biggest advantage in this game. Up to now, they have made 11 of 18 shots, and their shooting percentage has exceeded 50%.
Of course, this kind of hit rate cannot be maintained forever, but as long as you play with a close touch, winning the game will not seem too big a problem for them.
Today, the New Yorkers have only one goal, which is to protect the home court, and they must not let the Hawks leave with victory.
Otherwise, they would be behind by a big score of 3:0. In this way, they would basically bid farewell to this season.
Wu Feng singled out Melon Anthony in low post, and the two were in a misaligned lane. Although Cameron Anthony has the advantage of height, Wu Feng is not afraid at all.
After a fake move shook Cameron Anthony, Wu Feng faced his body and made a layup.
With a "drip", this time, Wu Feng first made a defensive foul by Cameron Anthony.
"Bang bang bang" "Swish", the basketball stumbled on the basket a few times, and finally fell down.
Seeing this scene, Wu Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
The fourth quarter had been played for five minutes. Although Wu Feng did not encounter much trouble during these five minutes, he had already consumed a lot of energy in order to help the team widen the score gap.
"Swish", under the booing of New York fans, Wu Feng sent the free throw into the basket.
At this time, the Knicks replaced Jeremy Lin, and the main power forward Amare Stoudemire also came up.
Seeing this, Hawks head coach Larry Drew quickly changed Al Horford and Coke Hinrich at a dead ball.
Now, with the remaining half of the quarter left in the game, both teams have replaced the main lineup.
