On the court, Zhao Feiyang got into a singles stance and went one-on-one with Damian Lillard, who came up to defend, under the watchful eyes of all the fans.
The fans were so surprised that they all stood up from their seats. The players from both teams also stood up and focused their attention on the two men.
Damian Lillard assumed a defensive posture, while Zhao Feiyang picked up the basketball and kept observing his center of gravity. Suddenly, Zhao Feiyang changed direction and pulled away to the right, and Damian Lillard immediately shifted his body weight to follow.
But this time Zhao Feiyang took the initiative to stick to his side, first dribbling the basketball from behind to the left side to avoid Damian Lillard's steal, and then used his body to resist Damian Lillard's interference. Then he took a sudden step back and pulled away.
The entire action was completed in one go, and it did avoid Damian Lillard's block. But there was only one second to spare. When Zhao Feiyang jumped up and took a shot, Damian Lillard had already pounced towards him.
Uh-huh.
A hollow three-pointer hit the net.
Damian Lillard was still a step too late and failed to prevent Zhao Feiyang from successfully throwing the ball into the basket.
The goal was scored and shocked the whole audience.
Prior to this, Damian Lillard was an absolute star in this arena. Whether it was exposure or popularity, it was unmatched by other players.
But this time, this seemingly inconspicuous Chinese player fought his way through the dazzling light of Damian Lillard.
"nice shot!"
"Well done!"
"Oh my God! He actually made it in front of Damien!"
135 to 132.
It was the first time the freshman team had taken the lead in the game.
The game ended with 41 seconds left.
The sophomore team fought back.
Damian Lillard didn't dare to do what he did before. He took the first step past Harrison Perot and received the pass from his teammate.
After getting the ball, he glanced at Harrison Perreault again before taking the ball toward the half court.
The game reached a fierce stage. Damian Lillard encountered Michael Carter's marking interference before halftime. Other players on the sophomore team tried to help Damian Lillard cover, but they were all blocked by their respective players. The defensive players cling tightly and find it difficult to find opportunities.
The only one who had a chance was Harrison Perot. Zhao Feiyang deliberately leaked the defensive gap and tried to let him go up and ask Damian Lillard for the ball, so as to find a suitable opportunity to steal.
However, Damian Lillard has no trust in Harrison Perot at this time. Even if Harrison Perot made a covering gesture towards Damian Lillard, Damian Lillard Deya didn't even look at him again.
Arc top position.
Damian Lillard also took a stance facing Michael Carter's defense, and his response was very decisive. After a fake move, Damian Lillard suddenly stepped back and raised the basketball.
Michael Carter didn't expect it and subconsciously rushed over and stretched out his hand to interfere.
Uh-huh.
A three-pointer fell steadily into the basket.
At the same time, the referee's whistle accompanied the basketball into the net.
The sophomore team's team was in a fit of revelry, the fans on the sidelines were in disbelief, and the host and guests commentating on the scene kept shaking their heads in praise.
"Oh! Three plus one! Damien is so surprising!"
"This guy doesn't seem to be that powerful, but his key ball performance is really better than most players in the league... No wonder he is the heart of Portland people..."
The three-plus-one score immediately made the situation tense again. At this time, the scores of the two sides were already tied, and there were only the last 19 seconds left. If Damian Lillard scored a free throw, then the first-year The freshman team will be 1 point behind.
A 1-point advantage may not seem like much, but sometimes it can completely determine the outcome.
call out.
Before Damian Lillard stepped to the free throw line, the sophomore team called a timeout. This time it was interim head coach Dennis Rodman who called him. Regarding his actions, Damian Lillard and other teammates didn't say anything, and everyone walked off the court.
At the same time, the players on the freshman team gathered together.
At the final moment of the game, a crucial question emerged in everyone's mind, that is, who will execute the last shot plan?
Most of the players looked at Zhao Feiyang.
Zhao Feiyang looked at Michael Carter. It wasn't that he didn't have the courage to execute the last attack, but that he knew very well that Michael Carter wanted to win the MVP and be the most popular person on the court. If he stole it from him, In the limelight, I'm afraid this kid won't let it go.
Don't be afraid of opponents who are like gods, only be afraid of teammates who are like pigs.
Harrison Perot has already interpreted this sentence with his own performance, so Zhao Feiyang doesn't want any surprises! Rather than Michael Carter's lack of cooperation and chaos, he would rather Michael Carter execute the last attack.
After all, this guy's performance is indeed one of the best among the rookies, especially when he is not alone and reckless, he is indeed qualified to execute the last attack.
"I propose that Zhao execute the final attack."
The speaker was Michael Carter.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the other players looked at him in surprise. Everyone knew that before, he would never pass the ball until he died, but now he was willing to let Zhao Feiyang take the key shot at the last moment. This was simply too surprising.
"Michael, are you sure?"
Zhao Feiyang took the initiative to ask.
"certainly."
"Why not? Zhao, your three-point shooting touch is the best here..."
Michael Carter finished speaking with a magnanimous expression.
After he finished speaking, Antetokounmpo Giannis Antetokounmpo also agreed, "I support Zhao to execute the last attack. His three-pointers are very powerful and he is the first choice for key shots... There is no doubt about it..."
Others also came forward to express support.
Seeing the unanimous and tacit behavior of his teammates, Michael Carter was smiling on the outside, but deep down he was extremely depressed.
"Fuck Fuck!"
"Why didn't anyone choose me?"
"Damn it! Shouldn't someone stand up and support me in taking key shots?"
After selecting Zhao Feiyang, the players gathered together to quickly discuss tactics. At this time, the timeout ended and players from both sides took to the court again.
The moment of decisive battle has finally arrived.
The referee gave the ball to Antetokounmpo Giannis Antetokounmpo, and it was his turn to serve.
The players of the first-year team kept running around the court, while the players of the second-year team were frantically marking them, following their defensive players every step of the way.
Damian Lillard personally came to guard Zhao Feiyang this time.
Snapped.
Antetokounmpo Giannis threw the ball, and Zhao Feiyang just ran out of the space to catch the basketball. The next moment, Damian Lillard appeared next to him. Not only that, Harrison Perot, who was switching to guard Michael Carter, also made a fierce move. Double-teamed him from the ground.
