The older superstars of the NBA

Chapter 920 Christmas War 2

After Giannis Antetokounmpo scored, the New York Knicks also quickly organized a counterattack.

The ball fell to Derrick Rose.

He handed the ball to Zhao Feiyang.

After halftime, Zhao Feiyang held the ball in a singles stance, seemingly planning to challenge Wesley Matthews of the Milwaukee Bucks.

The latter was a little nervous. Faced with Zhao Feiyang's dribbling, he stretched out his hand in panic to interfere. He stuck to Zhao Feiyang's face like candy and did not dare to let go.

Zhao Feiyang was very calm, and when he saw Matthews approaching, he suddenly rushed out. Before Matthews could catch up, Zhao Feiyang entered the two zones and made a throw.

Swish.

The basketball hit the basket steadily.

This scoring method looks simple, but it is concise and effective.

The Bucks continued to fight back.

This time, the ball was given to Giannis by his teammates before it passed the midline, and Giannis was observing from the top of the arc. He seemed to be preparing for a single, but he did not rush towards the inside.

Suddenly, Giannis threw the ball with a quick pass, and bang, the basketball fell into the hands of Khris Middleton on the wing.

Middleton caught the ball on the right side of the basket. After getting the ball, he went straight to the layup and threw the ball.

Snapped.

The basketball board falls into the basket.

The Bucks just made a sneak attack here, and the Knicks immediately threw the ball with a long pass. After getting the ball, Zhao Feiyang and Rose rushed towards the half court, and Eric Bledsoe was the only one who caught up and defended.

Two against one.

When he reached the free throw line, Zhao Feiyang suddenly threw the ball to Rose. Rose rushed to the basket and was about to take a shot. Seeing this, Bledsoe finally pounced on Rose. Unexpectedly, as soon as he pounced, Rose threw the ball into the air with a back pass.

Zhao Feiyang didn't hesitate at all. He jumped up high immediately, caught the basketball and smashed it in with a dunk.

boom.

The play between the two made Bledsoe the backdrop.

For the rest of the first quarter, the Bucks played back and forth with the Knicks. Both teams used their best offensive methods and continued to attack the opponent's inside.

Coincidentally, during this quarter, there were not many long-range shots from both sides.

Even Zhao Feiyang, who had always had a stable three-point shooting percentage before, did not make many three-pointers this time. At most, he only threw a long mid-range shot from time to time.

Such a "real-life" battle also made the Knicks fans watching the game excited. Many fans watching the live broadcast on the Internet were also surprised by the performance of these two teams.

"Not bad! This is real basketball! Full of collisions between muscles and violent aesthetics..."

"Although three-pointers are nice to watch, what's the point if there are only three-pointers in the game? I still miss the old league. At that time, each team had its own star, there was no grouping, and there were no superstars together. Bullying those weak teams...the only thing is a confrontation between skills and body..."

"It's really rare! The three-pointers of these two teams are not bad, especially the Knicks! This time they were able to give up long shots... This is enough to prove that even if they don't rely on long shots, this team The team is definitely the top team in the league..."

"With this comparison, I'm curious as to whether the Warriors could survive in the league more than ten years ago? Although they are also great, if their three-pointers are taken away, can the Warriors still win the championship?"

Fans are excited about this game.

The players have also temporarily entered a break.

Soon, the second quarter arrived.

Both sides sent in substitute lineups.

For the Knicks, Jeremy Lin and Dennis Smith Jr. partnered in the backcourt. The No. 3 position is given to Andrew Wiggins, the No. 4 position is given to Tristan Thompson, and the No. 5 position is given to Dwight Howard.

Although this lineup is not that young, compared with the Bucks, this lineup is still remarkable.

What is particularly worth looking forward to is that Zach LaVine has not returned to the team yet.

If he comes back, then one of him and Rose will definitely enter the substitute lineup. Even if they only play in rotation, it will be enough to knock out the Knicks' second lineup.

By then there will be stable output from both the inside and outside, including the wings, and such a lineup will not be afraid at all even if it faces a super strong team.

In the second quarter, the Knicks' performance did not disappoint the fans.

Jeremy Lin, who came off the bench, played alley-oops with Howard twice in a row.

In the past, Howard has never been a role player in pick-and-rolls. Unless he was a superstar, he would definitely not do such tiring work as pick-and-rolls.

Nowadays, Howard is no longer the monster he was at his peak. Even if he doesn't want to bow his head, sometimes he has to lower his posture.

Of course, the more important thing is that Howard still has expectations for the championship.

In addition to the two of them, Wiggins also contributed his own wonderful performance. He made all three of his three-point attempts, and also rushed to the basket and scored two dunks.

Every move shows that he is worthy of his status as the "No. 1 Scholar".

beep.

The timer sounds and the first half is over.

The score between the two sides was 68 to 60.

The Knicks lead by 8 points.

The two sides entered halftime.

While they were resting, the same-city derby between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Los Angeles Clippers continued in the Western Conference.

The two teams entered the second quarter, and the core players of both sides began to test each other.

At 7 minutes and 11 seconds, the Lakers served and LeBron James advanced with the ball. After halftime, he encountered interference from Kawhi Leonard.

Leonard's defense is not easy to break through, especially when he is focused. LeBron obviously knew this too. He didn't rush out in a hurry. Instead, he watched Leonard while paying attention to the positions of other people on the court.

Suddenly, LeBron made a change of direction, and Leonard's center of gravity shifted.

LeBron took this opportunity to decisively lift the basketball and throw a three-pointer.

The moment he jumped up to shoot, Leonard lunged at him.

The two jumped up one after another. Leonard's defense was in place, not only blocking LeBron's sight, but also almost touching the basketball in his hand. But a moment later, LeBron's three-pointer was still Slammed steadily into the basket.

Swish.

The ball went in.

The whole audience burst into applause.

Unconvinced, Leonard decisively asked his teammates to serve. As soon as the half was over, he faced LeBron in a singles. One second it looked like he was about to lift the basketball and take a shot, but in the next second he suddenly changed direction with the ball and rushed into the two zones.

His breakthrough failed to get rid of LeBron, but soon Leonard decisively turned around and pulled away.

LeBron jumped up and stretched out his hand to interfere, but it was still a little short of the mark.

Swish.

Leonard's fadeaway jumper was successful.

Two of the league's top stars exchanged blows. Such an explosive confrontation also attracted the fans in the audience to applaud.
