The final section arrives.
Zhao Feiyang led the players on the stage.
The 11-point gap has demoralized the Timberwolves. Although they have beaten strong teams before, today's battle with the Warriors completely made them realize the difference between themselves and the top teams in the Western Conference. gap.
The Warriors' main lineup is fully loaded.
For the Timberwolves, Maurice Williams and Kevin Martin continue to be delegated.
In terms of lineup, the Timberwolves seem to be at a disadvantage.
Timberwolves possession.
call out.
The game begins.
This time, Zhao Feiyang and Zach LaVine switched. Zach LaVine went to the second position to score, while Zhao Feiyang returned to the first position to organize the team's offense and control the offensive ball.
Snapped.
His teammates released the ball, and Zhao Feiyang advanced with the ball.
Stephen Curry quickly followed.
As soon as halftime passed, Stephen Curry rushed up to fight for it without giving Zhao Feiyang any time to react. Zhao Feiyang did not panic. He pulled back while paying attention to Stephen Curry's body center of gravity.
He seemed to be preparing to break inside with the ball, but in fact he suddenly took the ball back.
Stephen Curry was unexpected and rushed towards him. But the moment the two met, Zhao Feiyang performed a "Buddha" movement. Stephen Curry's center of gravity was unstable and he fell backwards. go.
Zhao Feiyang took advantage of the situation and raised the basketball to shoot.
Uh-huh.
A three-pointer was scored steadily.
"8 points left!"
There was applause from the sidelines.
The Warriors fought back.
Stephen Curry had just held the ball, and Zhao Feiyang immediately pressed closely on the defense. He changed his previous way of saving energy and continued to interfere with his hands as if he was completely crazy.
Excessive interference put a lot of pressure on Stephen Curry. In order not to lose the ball, he still chose to transfer the ball away.
Snapped.
The basketball is in the hands of Klay Thompson.
Klay Thompson entered the paint under the screen and was blocked when his throw was made. At the critical moment, he distributed the ball to Draymond Green.
Draymond Green missed the shot and the rebound was picked off by Andre Iguodala.
"Stephen."
Andre Iguodala once again passed the ball to Stephen Curry.
Stephen Curry caught the ball and shot a three-pointer.
boom.
The three-point shot failed to hit.
Zhao Feiyang's defense was very hard, almost blocking Stephen Curry's entire field of vision.
The rebound fell to the Timberwolves.
Zhao Feiyang reacted quickly, shouted to his teammates, and then ran towards the half court. Soon a long pass was thrown into his hands, and Zhao Feiyang caught the ball and shot for a layup.
Stephen Curry, who returned to defense, was a step too late and failed to interfere with Zhao Feiyang.
Uh-huh.
The basketball fell steadily into the basket.
"There are still 6 points left!"
At this time, Zhao Feiyang was as if he had been beaten to death. He was full of energy and worked extremely hard on both offense and defense.
When it was the Warriors' turn to attack, Zhao Feiyang took the initiative to physically confront Stephen Curry.
He knows that the latter is weak in confrontation, so he constantly puts pressure on Stephen Curry during defense.
Stephen Curry was a little unbelieving. After halftime, he called on Klay Thompson to cover. With the help of the pick-and-roll, he found space to shoot, and then threw the ball first.
bump.
The basketball bounced out of the basket again.
"Damn it!"
Stephen Curry cursed helplessly.
The rebound fell into the hands of the Timberwolves again.
After Zhao Feiyang received the basketball, he accelerated and sprinted across the half court. This time, Stephen Curry was probably a little depressed. He did not chase Zhao Feiyang immediately, but Draymond Green looked extremely desperate and rushed towards Zhao Feiyang. He rushed over to where he was.
The two reached the three-point line one after the other.
Zhao Feiyang did not move forward, but stood on the three-point line and raised the basketball. Draymond Green was so excited when he saw this, he rushed over and planned to block Zhao Feiyang.
The moment he jumped up, Zhao Feiyang had already noticed his movements.
call out.
The referee whistle sounded.
Zhao Feiyang's foul call worked. He jumped up deliberately and hit Draymond Green.
What is even more unexpected is that the moment he landed, the basketball he threw using his body's ability to stay in the air also spun around the rim and then scored steadily.
Three plus one.
The whole audience exclaimed.
"What's going on? Three plus one?"
"Holy crap! This is so awesome!"
"This ball is a bit lucky...but luck is also part of time..."
On the bench of the Timberwolves, Maurice Williams and Kevin Martin looked extremely ugly.
"How the hell can you get in?"
"What kind of luck does this kid have?"
Under the attention of the whole audience, Zhao Feiyang walked to the free throw line, received the referee's pass, and easily hit a free throw.
Uh-huh.
The ball went in.
"Two points left!"
Seeing Zhao Feiyang chase the point difference to such an extent with his own efforts, the morale of the entire Timberwolves team became high. Even Kevin Garnett couldn't help but stand on the court and wave and applaud.
When he saw that Nikola Pekovic, the team's fourth position, was a little exhausted, he took the initiative to tell head coach Philip Saunders that he wanted to play.
"Coach Philip, the team needs me... Now I have endless energy..."
"I'm not old yet... Besides, I only played 21 minutes in this game..."
Seeing Kevin Garnett's persistence, head coach Philip Sanders also chose to believe in him.
Soon, Kevin Garnett was replaced on the court.
Probably even coach Philip Sanders didn't expect that such a seemingly ordinary substitution operation would make the entire Timberwolves team about to take off.
After all, Kevin Garnett is a veteran of the team and a superstar in the league. His experience on the court is much greater than most.
Another Timberwolves offense.
Zhao Feiyang held the ball and organized his teammates to run. Kevin Garnett reacted immediately when he saw the emptiness inside. He suddenly raised his position to help Zhao Feiyang pick and roll.
Zhao Feiyang also realized the problem and immediately drove into the basket from behind.
Kevin Garnett followed suit, and Zhao Feiyang attracted the Warriors' inside double-team and threw the ball near the basket at the last moment.
boom.
Kevin Garnett jumped up and hit an alley-oop dunk in mid-air.
"Well done!"
Kevin Garnett took the initiative to fight with Zhao Feiyang and praised his passing.
Their actions were also seen by Maurice Williams and Kevin Martin off the court, and both of them had completely question marks on their faces.
"What's going on? Isn't this old guy Kevin with us?"
"Is he going to rebel? Isn't this guy known as a tough guy? Why are his bones so soft?"
No matter what is said off the court, the situation on the court is getting better and better for the Timberwolves.
Until the last 1 minute and 47 seconds left in the game, the Timberwolves, which had been lagging behind, had completely reversed the situation and led the Golden State Warriors by 6 points.
