Chapter 404 Respectable opponent(1/2)

This goal slightly reminded the Hawks that although they have a considerable advantage now, they still have to do their best, otherwise it will be difficult to enter this round.

The Hawks served at the bottom line and Wu Feng quickly led the ball through half.

Wu Feng did not rush to break through, stood outside the three-point line, rhythmically controlling the ball in his hand.

Suddenly, Wu Feng changed direction and easily passed Tony Douglas.

Facing Amare Stoudemire's backup defense, Wu Feng was not panicked at all. With a swing of his hand, the ball was handed to Anthony Morrow, who was in the open.

After the latter received the ball, he directly made a cold-blooded three-pointer and made a steady hit.

Amare Stoudemire missed the left wing jump shot, and Jared Jeffries took the lead and pushed the ball into the basket.

Wu Feng made a three-pointer from the arc, giving the Knicks another blow.

Jared Jeffries missed a strong attack at the basket, Al Horford angrily grabbed the rebound, and then a long pass, Wu Feng scored a quick layup.

Jeremy Lin rested for a few minutes off the court, and the Hawks' 8:4 small ** turned the score into 42:32, and the Hawks have expanded their lead to double digits.

This made Mike Woodson unable to sit still and stood on the long side and paced back and forth.

Tony Douglas made a pass mistake, Al Horford easily intercepted the ball, and a long pass across the entire court assisted Anthony Morrow to make a layup.

Taking advantage of a chance to die, Jeremy Lin was sent to the court again.

At this time, due to the great advantage of leading, Wu Feng was replaced by Larry Drew to rest.

However, Larry Drew made a mistake in his judgment. In the middle and late period of the second quarter, it was the time when the two teams were competing for the main players. Wu Feng's fate would undoubtedly allow the Knicks to take the opportunity to catch up with the gap.

Although he has a 12-point lead, it is very easy for a team like the Knicks who are good at offensive scoring as long as they play smoothly.

With Jeremy Lin's appearance and Wu Feng's end, the entire game rhythm returned to the Knicks unexpectedly. When Larry Drew realized that he had made a mistake in his judgment, the Knicks were about to tie the score.

In just a few minutes, the Hawks were beaten powerlessly by the Knicks.

Under Jeremy Lin's needle thread, the Knicks fully exerted their strong attack power, which made the Hawks players very worried.

Not only did they fail to effectively defend the opponent's attack, but their own attack also had problems, and they also appeared one after another. The opponent took the opportunity to score.

However, Larry Drew seemed to have made up his mind to let Wu Feng sit on the bench and never replaced him.

In the end, at the end of the first half, the Hawks went from 12 points ahead to 6 points behind the Knicks at this moment, which made the morale of the whole team plummet.

The Knicks were motivated, and the fans of Madison Square Garden Arena were even more excited.

But to many people's surprise, Larry Drew did not look angry or disappointed. During the halftime break, he just encouraged the players and then arranged the tactics for the second half.

After the second half of the game began, Wu Feng finally returned to the court.

Wu Feng controlled the ball steadily and headed forward. His mentality was extremely peaceful at this moment, and he did not fluctuate because the team suddenly moved from leading 12 points to falling behind 6 points.

He knew that the reason why Larry Drew put himself off the court was to give him a good rest.

In the last three playoff games, I have played for a long time. That's why Larry Drew considers his physical strength.

"We have to improve the morale of the team." Wu Feng thought to himself.

If you want to bring the situation on the court back to your own side, the first thing you need to do is to improve the morale of the team.

Wu Feng was a little afraid of Jeremy Lin's speed, but defense not only depends on speed, so Wu Feng was not too worried about Jeremy Lin's defense.

After several consecutive changes in directions, Wu Feng quickly pulled back, leaving Jeremy Lin not to keep up, and then suddenly a sudden stop and jumped on the ball, hitting steadily.

When Larry Drew saw this scene, he showed a satisfied smile on his face.

However, the low morale cannot be recovered in an instant.

Fortunately, Wu Feng's appearance reduced Al Horford's pressure in the inside line. He tightly bit the score at two singles at critical moments, and did not allow the Knicks to continue to open the score.

The fans of Madison Square Garden Arena began to get nervous. Although the fourth quarter that determines life and death has not yet arrived, they have foreseen that the fourth quarter will be more intense and cruel than the first three quarters.

However, they are not worried that the home team will be able to overtake the score by 12 points in the first half, let alone now.

They believe that the Knicks will definitely win the game.

The team slowly regained the offensive feeling, and Larry Drew was still a little satisfied with the current situation on the court.

Apart from Wu Feng, although other players have not scored yet, they have gradually recovered on the defensive end. The Knicks' offense has been smooth so far, but it is far less relaxed and comfortable than the second quarter.

Amare Stoudemire pulled to the outside line and Jeremy Lin broke into the free throw line, adjusted his posture and threw the ball out.

Although Jeremy Lin’s outside shooting was not very stable, his jump shots in front of the free throw line were still very accurate.

"Bang", Jeremy Lin's specialty ball unexpectedly missed the iron.

Al Horford easily took the rebound, threw the ball to Wu Feng, and immediately ran to the frontcourt.

Wu Feng made another quick counterattack, assisting Marvin Williamsche to get into the basket and make a dunk.

The Hawks' successive offenses finally improved their morale a lot.

Mike Woodson had no choice but to call a timeout.

After the timeout, the Knicks suddenly made a 13:4 shock wave under the leadership of Anthony, giving the Knicks a 100% advantage again.

The fighting spirit that the Hawks had just ignited was shattered a lot.

At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks had a 12-point lead with 82:70.

The fans of Madison Square Garden Arena cheered, shouting Anthony's name loudly.

On the Hawks, they did not give up, and there was still a whole quarter of games. They could still fight.

…………

With the last eight minutes and eleven seconds left in the game, Wu Feng received a wonderful pass from Al Horford at the bottom line, jumped and took action, and the ball drew a wonderful arc, and the ball was handed into the net, and the Hawks fell 12 points behind at 92:80.

Jeremy Lin's long shot missed, and Al Horford jumped up and took the rebound off. At this time, Wu Feng had already passed the midfield, and one of his long passes was handed to him. Wu Feng's layup scored two points.

With seven minutes and nine seconds left in the game, Wu Feng made a three-pointer from the top of the arc, causing Landry Fields to foul, and he had the chance to score a four-pointer.

The score between the two teams is 92:83 at this moment, and the Hawks narrowed the gap to single digits.

"Swish", Wu Feng's extra penalty hit, and he successfully scored four points.

With Landry Fields missing a three-pointer after cover, Al Horford once again grabbed the defensive rebound and handed it to Wu Feng's hands.

McGrady used Wu Feng's cover to make a mid-range shot, but missed it, and the ball went out. Al Horford grabbed the rebound immediately and took another shot from the basket, causing Amare Stoudemire's defensive foul.

Al Horford made one of two free throws, narrowing the gap to seven points.

In less than three minutes, the Hawks scored a 14:2 little **, undoubtedly giving the Knicks a first blow.

Mike Woodson also realized the problem. With the big score leading, the Knicks players obviously underestimated the opponent.

So he quickly requested a pause.

During the timeout, Mike Woodson seriously emphasized the team's defense. He also reminded Jeremy Lin to connect the team's offense well, and to defend Wu Feng well, block his pass, and prevent him from handing the ball smoothly to his teammates.

After the timeout, Amare Stoudemire pulled out the outside block, Jeremy Lin grabbed the gap, missed the three-pointer, and Tyson Chandler made a rebound foul. This was his sixth foul in this game, so Tyson Chandler left the court with six fouls.

After Tyson Chandler was sent off, Jared Jeffries came forward to replace him.

In the Hawks' offense, Wu Feng broke through with the ball and entered the Knicks' inside line, then made a beautiful backhand layup, causing Amare Stodmeier's foul.

"Good job, Wu." Al Horford rushed up quickly, bumped into Wu Feng, celebrating.

Amare Stoudemire has also made four fouls at this moment. As long as there are two more times, he will sit off the court and watch the ball like Tyson Chandler.

In this way, the Knicks' inside line will be basically gone, and by then, the Hawks will be able to control the inside line.

Amare Stoudemire was also very helpless. In the previous process of defending Josh Smith, he even used some foul moves to curb Al Horford's performance, so he has been carrying four fouls so far.

"Swish", Wu Feng's extra punishment was returned.

96:92, the Hawks narrowed the gap to 4 points.

Transposition of offense and defense.

Jeremy Lin organized the offense with the ball, and Cameron Anthony, who made a wonderful pass at the bottom line. The latter singled Wu Feng and made a jump shot with an emergency stop, but was blocked by Wu Feng.

Al Horford grabbed the ball and passed it quickly to Wu Feng.

With six minutes and eight seconds left in the game, Wu Feng made a three-pointer on the right wing forty-five degrees. Landry Fields, who had always been following him, naturally didn't want him to succeed easily. At the moment Wu Feng took the ball, he shot Wu Feng's right wrist.

"Drip", the whistle sounded.

Wu Feng got three free throws.

"Swish", Wu Feng's first free throw was easily hit.

"Wu..." The Eagles fans who came to Madison Square Garden Arena screamed.

The home fans kept booing Wu Feng, and some people made various moves to try to interfere with Wu Feng's free throw.

"Hu..." Wu Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Swish", Wu Feng once again sent the free throw into the basket accurately.

After making both free throws, Wu Feng naturally would not miss the third free throw and made all three free throws steadily.

However, before the Hawks could breathe a sigh of relief because Wu Feng made all three free throws, the Knicks responded to a three-pointer for them.

"Swish", Cameron Anthony made a quick move outside the three-point line and grabbed a three-pointer.
