Chapter 403 The Ownership of the Most Valuable Player(1/2)
“Have it.”
Feeling the rhythm of his attack, Wu Feng felt that there was great hope that this ball would enter.
But he was not sure, so after taking action, he rushed to the basket and prepared to grab the rebound, and prepared for both moves.
As Wu Feng threw the ball out, everyone's eyes focused on the basketball flying towards the basket.
The Knicks and fans all hope that the ball will not be entered, while those who support the Hawks hope that the ball will be entered.
When they were thinking about each other, the final result appeared with a "swish".
Most of the fans at the scene looked incredible, and then slowly turned into disappointment.
They did not expect that the hateful Chinese boy actually scored a nearly final goal at this last moment.
This kid is too big a heart, right? This is their voice.
But then, they looked at Anthony one after another, hoping that Anthony could have an anti-winning kill.
After all, the game is not over yet, and the Knicks still have 4.2 seconds to attack.
The Hawks supporters were extremely excited, but they did not forget it because the game was indeed not really over yet.
Soon, the last 4.2 seconds of the game will begin.
At this moment, everyone was extremely nervous.
The Knicks serve from the outside, and Josh Smith kept interfering.
"Drip", the whistle sounded, and because the ball could not be sent, the Knicks once again requested a timeout, and this timeout was also their last timeout in this game.
After the timeout, the Knicks continued to serve.
Just when the serving time was approaching, the Knicks sent the ball out.
However, an accident occurred.
Wu Feng suddenly jumped high, and his fingertips touched the basketball in the air, and the trajectory of the basketball immediately deviated.
Marvin Williams was quick-eyed and grabbed the ball with a quick hand. Then he quickly passed it to Jeff Teague, who was no one around him.
Jeff Teague quickly controlled the ball and avoided the Knicks players' foul.
Finally, the whistle sounded and the game ended.
No one expected that the game would end with this result.
The Hawks also narrowly defeated the Knicks by 1 point with a steal at this last minute, leading the series 3:0.
Even though disappointment and sadness fills the hearts of Knicks players, coaches, staff and fans, they have to accept this cruel reality and prepare for the next game.
…………
As time flies, the first round of the playoffs series has also reached a critical moment.
In addition to the Hawks leading their opponents with a big score of 3:0, other teams in the Eastern Conference are also in fierce battles.
The Miami Heat also led the Indiana Pacers 3:1, the Boston Celtics and the Brooklyn Nets played 2:2, while the Orlando Magic and the Chicago Bulls also played 2:2.
In the West, the Los Angeles Clippers, like the Hawks, also led the Memphis Grizzlies 3:0, another team in Los Angeles, the Lakers led the Denver Diggers 2:1, the Spurs led the Utah Jazz 3:1, and the Oklahoma City Thunder led the Dallas Mavericks 2:1.
As these playoffs progressed, the results of the regular season awards have gradually been announced.
In addition to the previous most valuable player who was won by Tyson Chandler, the result of the best rookie has also come out. If nothing unexpected happens, the Rookie of the Year is Kyrie Irving of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Wu Feng was a little surprised by the player who made the fastest progress this season. But it felt reasonable, because this player was his former teammate, Ryan Anderson.
Ryan Anderson has made great progress this season, especially after Wu Feng left. His position in the team has improved a lot.
After all, his role on the offensive end is still very important to the Magic.
Therefore, after Ryan Anderson won the award for the fastest-progress player, Wu Feng specially called him to congratulate him on his achievements.
In addition to the best defensive player, the rookie of the year and the fastest-progress player, the best sixth man also came out yesterday. The player who won the best sixth man was James Harden of the Oklahoma City Thunder.
As the results of these awards were announced, people began to pay great attention to the most important awards and the ownership of the most valuable players.
This season, the competition for the most valuable players is more intense than in previous years.
In addition to last year's Most Valuable Player Derek Ross, there are LeBron James, who won the Most Valuable Player in 2009 and 2010, and Kevin Durant, who has won three consecutive scoring champions this season.
Of course, in addition to these terrifying guys, there is another person who has launched an impact on the most valuable players.
That is Wu Feng, who transferred to the Atlanta Hawks this season.
In the regular season this season, Wu Feng averaged 26.5 points per game, ranking third in the league, second only to Kevin Durant and LeBron James, who won the scoring champions.
In terms of assists, Wu Feng averaged 10.9 per game, ranking first in the league.
In addition, Wu Feng can also score 6.8 rebounds, 2.8 steals and 1.7 blocks.
Such an all-round performance is enough to compete for the most valuable player of the year.
What's more, under the leadership of Wu Feng, the Hawks also achieved the best results in the Eastern Conference and the second in the league, which is a powerful bargaining factor for Wu Feng to compete for the most valuable players.
Therefore, no one can ignore Wu Feng.
If Wu Feng won the Most Valuable Player of the Season, then it doesn't matter, because he deserves such an honor.
…………
At 7 p.m. Beijing time on May 9, the Atlanta was already at the Madison Square Garden Arena, the Knicks' home court.
At this moment, the Eagles players have just made a appearance.
The players of the home team have not yet appeared, and many reporters at the scene have been fed to the Hawks' bench and want to interview Larry Drew, Al Horford and Wu Feng.
It took a while before the Knicks players appeared.
The players on both sides warmed up for three minutes on the court before returning to the rest area.
Then, the starters of the two teams came to the court.
On the Knicks, the center is still the best defensive player of the season Tyson Chandler, the power forward is Amare Stodmeier, small forward Cameron Anthony, shooting guard Landry Fields, and organization guard Jeremy Lin.
On the Hawks, the starting center is Al Horford, power forward Josh Smith, small forward Marvin Williams, shooting guard Cork Hinrich, and organizational defender Wu Feng.
Wu Feng and Jeremy Lin chatted for a few casual words and returned to their teammates.
After so many battles, Wu Feng and Jeremy Lin seem to be very familiar with each other. They are even considered friends.
When they are free, they will also call to contact us.
Al Horford and Tyson Chandler stood on both sides of the referee. Although the game had not started yet, the tense atmosphere had already covered the entire Madison Square Garden Arena.
This game attracted countless fans because this game will determine the next trend of the two teams.
If the Hawks win this game today, they will sweep the Knicks 4:0 and advance to the second round of the playoffs; on the contrary, the Knicks will tie the score to 1:3 and will not be swept by the Hawks.
The game has not yet begun. The players on both sides are already full of gunpowder.
Especially two jumpers, "boxing champion" Chandler and Al Horford.
Two pairs of hot eyes stared at the basketball in the referee's hand, and there were tight muscles under the jersey. As long as the whistle sounded, the two of them would jump into the sky like lightning.
As the orange basketball gradually rose, Al Horford and Tyson Chandler jumped up. The two first-class inside players in the league began to compete fiercely from the beginning of the game.
Al Horford's youth gave him an advantage and got the ball first.
The ball fell to the ground, Marvin Williams quickly picked up the ball and passed it quickly into Wu Feng's hand, and he quickly ran towards the Knicks halftime.
Wu Feng passed the ball to the opponent as soon as Marvin Williams rushed into the Knicks' three-point line.
At this time, the Knicks players had not yet reacted. Jeremy Lin had very fast speeds, but there were too many players gathering near the midfield and they could not be easily activated. Just look at Marvin Williams easily scored a layup after receiving Wu Feng's pass.
The Hawks opened first, which made home fans very upset. They booed their own loudly, and the target was naturally the Hawks.
Facing the Knicks, a team with strong offensive power, the Eagles not only need to exert their strong offensive power, but also need to use their own defense to disrupt the opponent's offensive.
In the Knicks' offense, Jeremy Lin used his teammates to cover and rushed into the Hawks' penalty area. He made a beautiful layup and scored 2 points.
Transposition of offense and defense.
Wu Feng quickly led the ball through half, and it was Jeremy Lin who defended him.
Although Wu Feng did not dare to take his defense lightly, Wu Feng's mentality was still relatively relaxed.
After all, they are now in a big score of 3:0, and they are in a huge advantage, so there is no need to be too burdened.
Jeremy Lin's defense is average, but for Wu Feng, his defensive deterrence is not very strong.
However, Jeremy Lin's defense cannot be ignored. His speed should be close to the top in the league, and his steals are also excellent. His close defense and his speed are undoubtedly extremely difficult for players who want to get rid of it.
Wu Feng did not force a breakthrough, but quickly handed the ball to Cork Hinrich.
Faced with a team like the Knicks, all the playing styles and tactics have to be changed compared to before, with flexible and changeable passing, active running of outside players, and the requirements for speed of inside players.
Cork Hinrich lifted the ball into the inside, and Al Horford played a back-to-back single, but was defended by Amare Stoudemire. Tyson Chandler grabbed the defensive rebound and handed it to Jeremy Lin.
In the Knicks' offense, Jeremy Lin increased his speed to the extreme, and then forced a breakthrough, passing the ball to Cameron Anthony, who easily made a layup.
Wu Feng took a deep breath, and just ran with Jeremy Lin, his breathing was a little rapid.
After halftime, Wu Feng did not stick the ball, so he handed the ball over to Cork Hinrich.
To be continued...
