The older superstars of the NBA

The game goes on.

Kyrie Irving began to dominate the Brooklyn Nets' possession. In the remainder of the third quarter, he increased the number of singles and continued to seize opportunities to shoot mid-range shots.

In this situation where the entire team is building tactics around him, Irving's performance is very stable. Although his shooting percentage is not that high, he still scores a lot.

For the New York Knicks, Zhao Feiyang also led the team to play a wave of efficient offense. His three-point shooting is still solid, and he even performed exceptionally well when facing Irving.

In addition, Zhao Feiyang also actively drives other players to attack, ensuring his personal condition while also allowing players in other positions to cooperate.

Of course, the exception is Tristan Thompson. After a series of mistakes, it's not like he didn't play a performance worthy of attention at all.

In terms of protecting rebounds, he still grabbed a few good rebounds. However, overall Tristan's performance was average.

The game entered the final quarter.

The difference between the two sides was only 5 points at this time.

The Nets also took this opportunity to expand their score advantage. After Irving was fully guarded by Zhao Feiyang, another player on the team, Spencer Dinwiddie, stepped forward.

The Nets attack.

After the ball passed half court, Irving passed the ball under Zhao Feiyang's interference. After receiving the basketball, Dinwiddie singled out Zach LaVine.

LaVine's physical fitness has declined due to playing for too long, and his movements on defense are not as quick as before.

Dinwiddie seized this opportunity and rushed out with the ball. When he reached the basket, he used the screen of his teammate Prince to rush to the other side of the basket.

After his teammates blocked the chasing defender, Dinwiddie decisively raised the basketball and took a shot.

Swish.

A mid-range shot was scored steadily.

It was the Knicks' turn to fight back.

In order to contain Irving, Zhao Feiyang also transferred the ball away, and LaVine held the ball for a fast break through half the court. After reaching the half court, Dinwiddie rushed to interfere with LaVine, and LaVine passed the ball in order to avoid making mistakes.

Following behind happened to be Tristan.

It's just that he doesn't have the tacit understanding like other players, and he is not prepared at all for LaVine's throw-back pass. Tristan woke up suddenly when the basketball hit him.

Unfortunately, because of his mistake, the basketball fell out.

Joe Harris won the ball and threw a long pass across the court. Irving received the ball and beat Zhao Feiyang one-on-one under the basket.

Zhao Feiyang jumped up with all his strength, blocking most of Irving's shooting space. Unexpectedly, in order to score the goal, Irving twisted his body to the extreme in mid-air, and avoided Zhao Feiyang's hand for a second before landing. The ball is thrown.

Snapped.

The basketball hit the backboard and fell into the basket.

When Irving scored, he fell to the ground because he couldn't stand firmly.

After he got up, his ultimate goal also won the applause of the audience. Even Zhao Feiyang, as a teammate, admires Irving's finishing ability.

Of course, admiration is admiration, and the next second Zhao Feiyang immediately stood under the basket and served.

He threw a long pass across half court. Tristan was originally open under the basket, but this time Zhao Feiyang no longer believed in the latter.

Snapped.

The basketball was given to Howard who was standing outside the three-point line. After receiving the ball, Howard rushed towards the basket.

There was only one Nets player under the basket at this time, and Howard and Tristan were completely two-on-one.

In this situation, Tristan can help cover Howard, or stand under the basket and be ready to grab rebounds. No matter what he does, it will benefit the Knicks.

But I don’t know what kind of bad temper this guy Tristan had. Not only did he fail to occupy a favorable position to compete for rebounds, he also had no idea of ​​​​covering for Howard.

Howard rushed to the basket and encountered interference, and the thrown ball hit the basket and bounced out.

Tristan took another slow step.

The ball fell into the hands of the opponent, and the Nets also chose to attack this time. The opponent bullied Zhao Feiyang in a two-on-one halfcourt. Dinwiddie gave the ball to Irving. Irving rushed to the basket and deliberately attracted Zhao Feiyang, but actually threw the ball into the air.

Snapped.

Dinwiddie, who jumped up in mid-air, easily caught the ball and then dunked the ball firmly into the basket.

The ball went in.

This time, head coach Thomas directly called a timeout.

Players from both sides exit the field.

When Coach Thomas changed his usual style, Tristan walked to the team bench and sat down, and Coach Thomas scolded him.

"Tristan, what are you doing?"

"How many times have you made mistakes today? Oh! God! I have never been so helpless... What on earth are you thinking? This is not a preseason, this is already the regular season... ....”

"If it weren't for DeAndre's back injury that hasn't fully recovered, I really don't want you to play too much time... It's not that I can't accept players' mistakes, but your mistakes are simply incomprehensible!"

As soon as Coach Thomas got angry, the players on the team bench also fell silent.

Tristan knew that what he did was a bit stupid, so he didn't contradict Coach Thomas anymore, but he didn't feel much apology when he sat in the chair, and he still looked like he was ruthless and indifferent.

"okay!"

"You should rest first!"

"Noah, you take Tristan's place."

Coach Thomas finally decided to make a substitution.

After the timeout, the Knicks, who had rearranged their lineup, walked onto the court.

Less than 6 minutes left.

The Knicks also took the opportunity to quickly expand the score and try to stabilize their advantage at the last moment. Dinwiddie on the Nets is still in good shape. Under this situation, Irving also began to look for pick-and-roll screens from his teammates to help him find more breakthrough opportunities.

The game time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the two sides reached the final moment. With only the last 50 seconds left in the game, the score was 110 to 106.

The Knicks lead by 4 points.

The ball is still in the Knicks' hands.

After the ball passed half court, Zhao Feiyang passed the ball to LaVine. LaVine seized the opportunity to break through to the basket. After being interfered with, he decisively transferred the ball to Adrian on the wing. Adrian passed the ball directly back to Zhao Feiyang.

When Zhao Feiyang raised the basketball and took a shot, Irving rushed towards him. The two met each other in mid-air. Unfortunately, Irving failed to block Zhao Feiyang's shot.

Swish.

The basketball fell steadily into the basket.

113:106.

The Nets fought back.

Dinwiddie held the ball across half court. Although Irving on the side was asking him for the ball, Dinwiddie seemed to have no intention of passing the ball.

Facing LaVine's interference, Dinwiddie also signaled his teammates to come up and cover. When his teammates helped him block LaVine, Dinwiddie decisively raised the basketball and threw a three-pointer.

Swish.

The ball went in.

After scoring the goal, Dinwiddie glanced at Irving without any provocation, but his eyes also revealed his confidence and pride.

109:113.

There are only 13 seconds left.

The Knicks were not eager to attack after getting the ball, but kept passing the ball to delay time. All Nets players adopted marking measures, and everyone rushed forward to grab the ball frantically. Bang, the ball finally fell into Zhao Feiyang's hands.

After getting the ball, he pretended to shoot a three-pointer, but actually deceived Irving with a feint. After passing Irving, Zhao Feiyang dribbled the ball straight to the basket.

Nets player Harris, who came up as a replacement, tried to interfere, but Zhao Feiyang didn't give him the chance at all.

boom.

Zhao Feiyang jumped up in advance and smashed the ball into the basket with a one-handed dunk.

The whole place was shocked.

Countless fans were excited for Zhao Feiyang's actual dunk.

115:109.

The tide is gone.

There are only 3.1 seconds left in the game.

The Knicks completely gave up on defense and allowed the Nets players to dribble to the half court. Perhaps because the Nets felt bored, Irving, who was in possession of the ball at the last moment, chose to give up the goal.

Snapped.

He threw the ball into the air.

beep.

The timer tone will sound in the next second.

Despite the loss, Irving looked calm. He took the initiative to hug and high-five Zhao Feiyang, and even made a little joke.

"Zhao, I hope we can meet in the Eastern Conference finals this season!"

"Kairi, I'm looking forward to it too!"

The core members of the two teams expressed their respect for each other with high-fives and hugs, and also expressed their expectations for future encounters.

This is how the opening match ends.

While the Knicks won the Nets, the results of the other two teams were also released quickly.

The game between the Lakers and the Clippers was very fierce. The two sides were locked in a fight in the first half. The cores of both teams maintained an extremely proactive offensive posture.

Especially LeBron James, who has been questioned by fans many times before. Many people think that he is old and that the Lakers can no longer achieve any results.

LeBron seemed to mind this very much, so he went all out in the first quarter. Not only did he hold the ball in singles, he also made many attempts to chase big blocks.

Such an explosive performance also surprised many fans. Many people were in a daze, thinking that LeBron was back to the time when he first entered the league!

After the first half, the Lakers maintained the lead.

In the second half, the Clippers gave the ball to Kawhi Leonard.

Leonard also performed an extremely outstanding performance, not only defeating LeBron in singles, but also throwing two three-pointers at critical moments to help the lagging Clippers tie the Lakers.

However, with 4 minutes left in the last quarter, the Clippers made more mistakes.

The gap between the two sides widened from this moment on.

The Lakers also strive to control mistakes while maintaining a high-efficiency offense. Even the core of the team, LeBron, reduces his stickiness to the ball in order to prevent unnecessary mistakes.

In the end, the score between the two sides was 109 to 106, and the Lakers won the game by 3 points. Although it was difficult to win, for many Los Angeles fans, this also indicated that the Lakers were finally on the right track.

Last season, the team suffered from injuries. Even LeBron missed many games due to injuries. Now the team's injury problem has been temporarily solved. If the current lineup can be kept healthy, it is entirely possible to have a wave of generals. finals!
