Chapter 276 G1 fierce battle
Manhattan.●⌒,
Although the Knicks were not playing at home tonight, the stadium open to fans was still crowded with people, and more than 20,000 fans watched the game together through the big screen in the stadium.
When Lin Feng hit a three-pointer again against Green's defense, the entire Madison Square Garden immediately boiled, and people slapped their high-highs and cheered.
In fact, the scene in Madison Square Garden is just a microcosm of the entire New York City. Tonight, the entire New York City is paying attention to one thing, that is, the NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and the Golden State Warriors.
Even the big screen in Times Square in New York is broadcasting the game. You should know that the big screen advertisements in Times Square in New York are worth a lot of money, but there are no advertisements on this big screen tonight. Instead, they spend two hours to broadcast the game between the New York Knicks and Golden State Warriors. This situation has never happened in the past. It can be seen that the entire New York City attaches great importance to the Knicks' finals.
Auckland, Oracle Arena.
Lin Feng's tough response to three-pointers made the home fans quieter.
It was another offensive opportunity for the Warriors. This time, Stephen and Clay made two pick-and-rolls in a row on the outside. Clay got a not-so-good chance to make a phone call. He hesitated for a while, made a three-pointer and made a blacksmith.
Chris protected the backcourt rebound, the Knicks launched a fast break, Lin Feng rushed through the half with the ball and entered the inside, and Barnes and Bogut attacked Lin Feng.
Instead of choosing to make a forced layup, Lin Feng passed the ball back to Jones who was following, who was in an undefensive state.
After Jones received the ball, he made a decisive move and made a mid-range shot.
9:12!
The Knicks led by 3 points, while Lin Feng contributed an assist.
In the next round of offense, the Warriors scored with Bogut.
The difference between the two sides returned to 1 point, and the game also entered a tug-of-war state. The two sides went back and forth, and the difference between the two sides was always around 3 points.
In the first quarter, the game entered an official timeout, and the score between the two sides was 29:31!
The Knicks were leading by 2 points away, and Lin Feng contributed 15 points in the 31 points of the team. In this quarter, Lin Feng's desire to attack was not too strong. After winning tens in the game, he did not take the initiative to attack and spent most of his time creating opportunities for his teammates. Therefore, Lin Feng scored 7 assists, which means that in addition to his own 15 points, 14 of the 16 points scored by his teammates were directly related to him, and the other 2 points were free throws.
This shows how important Lin Feng is in this team.
The head coaches of both sides have adjusted the lineup on the court. On the Knicks, Lin Feng and Chris have left the court, while the Warriors have taken Stephen and Green.
"The game has entered rotation time, and this time is the best time for the Warriors to widen the score gap. In the rotation lineup, the Warriors have an absolute advantage." said Yu Jia, a commentator at CCTV.
"That's right, the Warriors' lineup depth is stronger than the Knicks. After all, they have Stephen, Clay, and Green. Even in the rotation lineup, the three of them can always guarantee one person on the court. In addition, there are also Iguodala, Livingston, Spetts and others in the rotation lineup. The strength of these people is comparable to the Knicks' main players. Therefore, rotation time is also crucial to the Knicks, and they must hold the opponent as much as possible." Liu Weiping analyzed.
"Yes, the Warriors' rotation lineup is so terrifying. MVP Iguodala in the last finals was really unimaginable for the Warriors. In addition, Livingston's accurate mid-range shot also makes the opponent a headache." Yu Jia sighed.
"Don't forget, there is Spets, who is a big guy who can shoot three-pointers. In the Western Conference Finals against the Thunder, he can't underestimate the four three-pointers in one game!" Liu Weiping added.
"Well, if Spets' three-pointer is shot, it's really hard to defend against. However, it's strange that all players seem to immediately activate the three-pointer skills when they arrive at the Warriors." Yu Jia said with a smile.
"Maybe it was influenced by the Splash Brothers. In addition, it is also close to the team's overall playing style. I'll have to wait until the timeout is over. Let's see if the Knicks can withstand the rotation time."
court.
The game continues.
The Warriors replaced Stephen and Green with Livingston and Iguodala. The overall height of the team has not changed much, and the offensive firepower is slightly weakened, but it is much stronger than the Knicks. After Lin Feng and Chris left the court, the Knicks' offensive burden was pressed on Jones. In fact, he is also the player who has played the longest time in every game.
The Warriors attacked, and Iguodala and Livingston, who had just played, made a wonderful cooperation, and the latter jumped near the free throw line.
The basketball hit steadily.
31:31, the two sides were tied.
As soon as Livingston appeared, he showed his accurate mid-range shooting skills.
The Knicks attacked and Jones hit the ball to the inside, which was also the Warriors' attempt to fight against the weak, but Podolsky's shot missed.
The Warriors, who got the rebound, immediately launched a counterattack, and Clay hit a three-pointer from outside the three-point line.
34:31!
In the blink of an eye, the Warriors went from behind to leading.
After Clay's three-pointer hit, the Oracle Arena was also full of joy.
"Sure enough, the Warriors played their style in rotation time," Yu Jia said.
"Now someone in the Knicks must come forward and score. Jones can try some singles, but he still has his ability." Liu Weiping said.
The game continued, as Liu Weiping said, Jones tried a single, but unfortunately he still made a shot.
The Warriors seized the opportunity to fight back again, and this time, Iguodala completed a dunk.
36:31!
The Warriors widened the score to 5 points, and this difference was also the biggest difference between the two sides in the first quarter.
The camera was given to the Knicks' bench, and Philes frowned and had no intention of adjusting. In fact, he had no way to adjust. There were only so many cards in his hand, and it was only possible to look at the players on the field's own performance.
Fortunately, Jones staged a one-stop show in the next offensive round, made a layup and narrowed the score to 2 points. However, just over ten seconds later, Livingston made another mid-range shot.
The score on the field became 38:33.
The Knicks are still 5 points behind, and there are still seconds left before the end of the first quarter, and the Knicks still have a chance to attack.
At this time, Philes made adjustments and he replaced Lin Feng on the field again. Obviously, he wanted Lin Feng to play the last attack.
Cook served at the baseline and the basketball was in Lin Feng's hands. Because of the plenty of time to attack, Lin Feng was not in a hurry to attack. He slowly dribbled the ball through the half. The Warriors' outside defense pioneer Iguodala immediately posted it. In last year's NBA finals, he was a player of Toms, the top player in the defense of the Cavaliers, and he was still very skilled in defense.
Lin Feng slapped the ball and controlled the time, and the other four teammates pulled away.
7,6,5…
There were only five seconds left in the offensive time, but Lin Feng still had no intention of launching an attack.
"Time! Time!!"
Off the court, the Knicks' teammates' reminder came from the bench, and they thought Lin Feng had forgotten the attack time.
And at this moment, Lin Feng suddenly moved, his body suddenly leaned forward and made a breakthrough move. Iguodala believed that his body was involuntarily taking a step back.
Just in this gap, Lin Feng jumped up and made a three-pointer!
Oh ~!
With Lin Feng's three-pointer, the Oracle Arena was restless.
This three-pointer is too far.
In order to make the illusion of breakthrough, Lin Feng was very close to the middle circle. It was precisely because of this that Lin Feng leaned forward and Iguodala was immediately fooled, because, under normal circumstances, no player would choose to attack from such a far position.
However, he forgot that Lin Feng is not an ordinary player.
The basketball flew over half a court.
Almost at the end of the first quarter, the whistle sounded, it fell steadily into the Nets!
38:36!
Lin Feng's buzzer-beating three-pointer helped the team narrow the gap behind to 2 points.
Chapter completed!
