The older superstars of the NBA
Chapter 977 Finale Part
The battle of G7 in the finals.
Madison Square Garden Arena.
Before the game officially started, the eyes of the whole world had already gathered. Whether it is fans in the United States, China, or other regions, anyone who likes basketball is paying attention to this crucial game.
New York fans were going crazy. In order to pray for three consecutive championships, they even gathered tens of thousands of fans outside the arena to watch the game.
Everyone is looking forward to the final moments.
call out.
When the on-site referee's whistle sounded, the starting players of both sides came on the field. The lineup has not changed much from before. Zhao Feiyang greeted LeBron James and others as usual.
"Zhao, I have known you for so long and I have noticed that you are getting stronger and stronger... If I had known this, I should have stayed with the Cavaliers and asked the team to keep you too. And with Kyrie and Kevin, we might be able to create a lot of historical records..."
"LeBron, isn't it good to be like this now? We are still rivals! Regardless of today's result, I admire you very much... Frankly speaking, if it hadn't been for the transfer, your reputation would have been very bad. It will be much better than now..."
"Of course, I'm afraid your championships will be gone! No matter what, LeBron, you have affected the pattern of the league... Your influence is indeed unmatched... "
During the exchange between the two sides, the game started.
Snapped.
The referee threw the basketball high, and this time the first person to slap the basketball away was Draymond Green. After he slapped the ball out, Klay Thompson quickly took the ball and sprinted towards the half court.
Thompson moved very quickly, but Zhao Feiyang was faster than him and immediately accelerated to catch up with him.
Seeing the two jumping up at the same time, Thompson was a little afraid of being blocked by Zhao Feiyang, so he gave the ball to Stephen Curry on the outside.
Curry received the ball without any hesitation. After dodging Zach LaVine's flying shot with a feint, he decisively jumped up and took a shot from the three-point line.
Swish.
A three-pointer hit the basket accurately.
The Warriors got a "good start" in this game.
It was the Knicks' turn to fight back.
LaVine advanced with the ball, and just after halftime he gave the ball to Zhao Feiyang. Zhao Feiyang did not slow down and swayed in response to Thompson who was rushing towards him. The two met each other, and Zhao Feiyang easily changed direction and threw Thompson away and rushed into the two zones.
Seeing Zhao Feiyang come in, Green immediately stepped in to fill in. Zhao Feiyang made another feint this time, but Green did not intend to go back. As a result, when he pounced on Zhao Feiyang, Zhao Feiyang threw the ball directly.
Snapped.
Serge Ibaka on the inside leaped high and caught the ball for a dunk amid the exclamations of countless fans.
boom.
The ball went in.
The Warriors continued to fight back.
The ball passed half court, and Curry shot a three-pointer from the top of the arc. Whoa, the basketball fell steadily into the basket.
His touch is really good.
However, as soon as he made the shot, the Knicks immediately threw a long pass. Before Curry could fully react, LaVine behind him rushed towards half court.
Curry accelerated his pursuit. When LaVine was approaching the basket, he deliberately glanced behind him. Curry thought it was Zhao Feiyang who was chasing him. He was hesitating, but he never thought that LaVine would jump up and dunk towards the basket with two hands. The ball went in.
boom.
There was cheering outside the stadium.
The battle between the two sides was the same as before, fierce from beginning to end. The main players of both teams tried their best to score points and try to help the team widen the point difference.
In the first half, the Knicks mainly relied on Zhao Feiyang. Needless to say about his scoring ability, after adapting to the rhythm of the series, Zhao Feiyang is in extremely brave form. Whether it is singles or long-range shots, his condition is completely at its peak.
For the Warriors, in the first quarter, the ball was concentrated in LeBron's hands, and Curry chose to organize the offense more often. In the second quarter, the ball was concentrated in Curry's hands, and his number of long-range shots increased. I also cover more with my teammates than before.
At the end of halftime, there was not much difference between the two sides, with the score tied at 57 to 59, with the Knicks temporarily leading by 2 points.
Fast forward to the second half.
The Knicks seized the opportunity to continue to expand the score advantage. After Zhao Feiyang came on the court, he was double-teamed. Considering that he still needed to save energy at this time, he transferred the ball to others.
Adrian, whose previous performance was not bad but not impressive enough, performed well this time. In the third quarter, he made many three-pointers. Even if LeBron was marking him, he also threw three under strict defense. Three points.
This shooting rate allowed the Knicks to successfully stabilize the situation.
Coming to the final quarter, the Warriors seized the opportunity to counterattack.
Thompson was still in a state of being charged to death. Zhao Feiyang's marking and interference made him completely unable to counterattack. Except for occasionally seizing the opportunity to shoot one or two three-pointers, Thompson had no way to counterattack at other times.
Of course, even so, coach Steve Kerr still put him on the court, because with him, he can contain Zhao Feiyang even if he doesn't score many points.
Once he is replaced, the player who replaces him may not be much better! On the contrary, it is possible that Zhao Feiyang will seize the opportunity to launch a counterattack.
Thompson didn't perform well, but Curry's touch gradually became hotter.
In the first half of the last quarter, Curry used screens to make various shots. Once the Knicks let go, he would choose to break through, and once the Knicks tightened their defense, he would immediately shoot a three-pointer.
This style of play did allow the Warriors to overtake the Knicks for a time until the game entered the final 3-minute countdown.
Zhao Feiyang began to control the ball frequently, and when he got the ball, he continued to break toward the Warriors' basket. Not only was he looking for ways to help the team score, he was also deliberately rushing towards Green, trying to induce Green to foul.
This method did not work, so several times Green fouled the referee without blowing the whistle.
After seeing this situation, Zhao Feiyang decisively gave up the idea of fouling Green and immediately ordered the rest of the team to cover for him.
In the past, he always liked to share the ball with his teammates. This time, he directly let all his teammates concentrate the ball in his hands.
With 2 minutes and 01 seconds left before the end of the game, the Knicks attacked.
Zhao Feiyang advanced with the ball in person.
Just after halftime, Curry came up to guard, LaVine helped him cover, and Zhao Feiyang took the opportunity to get rid of Curry. After passing Curry, Zhao Feiyang faced Thompson with a "Buddha" feint, and Thompson was sent flying again.
Zhao Feiyang seized the opportunity and rushed towards the basket. He gave the ball to DeAndre Jordan who was standing under the basket. Before the latter caught the basketball and took a shot, Zhao Feiyang continued to rush towards the basket.
Snapped.
Jordan threw the ball directly into the air, and Zhao Feiyang took advantage of the opportunity to avoid the opponent's player and hit the ball into the basket with an alley-oop.
boom.
The ball went in.
Fans in the entire arena also stood up and cheered wildly because of Zhao Feiyang's dunk.
There was not much time left. The Warriors tried to counterattack, and Curry was also double-teamed. The ball fell to LeBron, who attempted a one-on-one shot from beyond the three-point line. Faced with the interference of Andrew Wiggins, LeBron still chose to pull away and shoot a three-pointer this time.
However, he finally overestimated himself for once!
Snapped.
Wiggins jumped up out of nowhere and slapped LeBron to block the ball before he could react.
The whole place was in an uproar.
Wiggins was also surprised when he blocked LeBron. In his excitement, he quickly went up to compete with LeBron for the ball. The two fell to the ground at the same time, and Wiggins reached out his hand first to swat the ball away.
The basketball rolled out.
LaVine picked it up again, and he quickly counterattacked towards the half court with the ball. Curry was chasing after him, but after halftime, LaVine threw the ball directly to Zhao Feiyang behind him.
This time, Zhao Feiyang did not make another alley-oop, but received the ball and stood outside the left three-point line, raising the basketball and shooting.
Swish.
A three-pointer hit the basket steadily.
When this goal was scored, the outcome of both sides was already determined. In the remaining time, the Warriors tried to counterattack again, but unfortunately, they failed to recover the point difference before time expired.
When there were only 3.1 seconds left in the game, the Warriors trailed the Knicks by 6 points, and the score was 121 to 127.
The ball is in the Knicks' hands.
Everyone knows that the situation is over and there is no need to continue fighting. The Warriors know this too.
Curry, LeBron and others sighed helplessly, with disappointment written all over their faces. No one finished the rest of the game. LeBron reached out to give high-fives and hugs to the Knicks players, and Zhao Feiyang responded in kind to the Warriors players.
Tens of thousands of fans stood up and screamed and cheered.
beep.
When the timer sounded, LaVine got the basketball and threw it hard towards the ceiling.
"It's over! We are the championship!"
"Three consecutive!"
"Three consecutive!"
There were very uniform shouts throughout the arena. Countless New York fans witnessed this extremely rare historical moment, and countless fans watching the live broadcast in front of the TV applauded the Knicks' historic moment.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let us congratulate Zhao Feiyang for winning the FMVP of this finals..."
During the host's introduction, Zhao Feiyang once again won the FMVP trophy. Witnessed by fans around the world, he held the trophy high and smiled.
The host handed the microphone to Zhao Feiyang and asked him what his acceptance speech was. Zhao Feiyang took the microphone and was silent for a moment, then spoke to the live camera, "This has been a long road. Thank you to all the fans for their support. Without you, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to get to this point...No one thought that an older player could become a star before, but I did it..."
"Love is like a disease, and there is no cure... I want to tell all those who strive for their ideals that as long as they persist, they will see the dawn of victory one day..."
