Oracle Arena.
With only 1 minute and 47 seconds left before the end of the game, the Warriors trailed the Timberwolves by 6 points.
At this time, on the Warriors' bench, head coach Steve Kerr was picking up the tactical board to lay out the final tactics for the players.
The fans on the sidelines were also very nervous. No one expected that the game would turn out like this. As early as before the game, many fans believed that the Timberwolves would definitely lose.
The gap in hard power between the two sides is really obvious. How can Zhao Feiyang alone make up for it?
"Oh! This game is really unbelievable! Zhao single-handedly forced the Warriors to this point..."
"This guy's performance is really outstanding. Frankly speaking, I will regret that the Warriors traded him away. Now it seems that if he had not left, the Warriors' second team would have been very strong..."
"At the beginning, it seemed that the team's guard lineup was indeed crowded, but Zhao did not ask to be a starter like others. It would be impossible to replace it with other players... The Warriors missed the opportunity to play in the starting lineup. Their chance….”
In the live studio, the host and commentators were discussing today's game.
"From a data comparison point of view, Zhao has played more than 30 minutes, and his score has reached 39 points... Stephen Curry played for about 30 minutes and scored 24 points and 7 assists. The data......."
"It seems that Zhao's performance is better, but from another perspective, Zhao's pressure is also greater... Stephen has stronger teammates to share the pressure, so he is completely unnecessary So hard..."
Just as he was talking, the whistle sounded in the stadium.
The referee signaled that the timeout was over and the players from both sides appeared again.
"Guys, don't be nervous...just fight how you want..."
"Just keep it the same as before..."
Zhao Feiyang comforted his teammates.
Some players of the Timberwolves have not experienced much scenes, especially in the final critical moments of such games, so the psychological pressure will naturally increase suddenly.
The appearance of the Warriors is completely different. After several seasons of running in, the team's cohesion is relatively good.
call out.
The Warriors serve.
Stephen Curry held the ball through half court.
Zhao Feiyang knew that the lagging Warriors would most likely hand the ball to Stephen Curry, so the moment he took the ball from the opponent, he stuck to it like candy and stared at it.
Stephen Curry dribbles the ball while organizing his teammates to run.
After half-time, Zhao Feiyang directly pressed forward and used physical confrontation to force Stephen Curry to transfer the ball.
However, the opponent did not do this, but suddenly waved his hand to Draymond Green for a pick-and-roll.
Draymond Green's screen allowed Stephen Curry to seize the opportunity. He distanced himself from behind the former and planned to take action.
Zhao Feiyang ran over to cover up the defense in time. Stephen Curry collected the ball suddenly, and then dribbled the ball from behind and kept shaking. Zhao Feiyang slipped and almost fell down.
There were exclamations from the sidelines.
Stephen Curry took this opportunity to take a shot.
Uh-huh.
A three-pointer fell firmly into the basket.
"nice shot."
"Wonderful shaking... He almost knocked Zhao down..."
"Oh! This is definitely one of the top ten goals of the month... I don't know how this guy Zhao will respond..."
Fans are buzzing.
Stephen Curry, who scored the goal, also deliberately smiled evilly at Zhao Feiyang.
"Man, don't say you fell down accidentally..."
"You guy..."
Zhao Feiyang was also angry and laughing.
116 to 113.
The score difference narrowed to 3 points.
"Serve quickly."
Zhao Feiyang shouted to his teammates.
Andrew Wiggins gave the ball to Zhao Feiyang, and Zhao Feiyang got the ball before Stephen Curry pounced on him. He did not react in a hurry when dribbling the basketball, but waited until Stephen Curry was in front of him before suddenly speeding up.
The two met each other, and Zhao Feiyang dribbled past Stephen Curry with a large cross-step.
After passing Stephen Curry in the first step, Zhao Feiyang accelerated towards the half court. As soon as he reached the three-point line, Klay Thompson came to cover the defense. Zhao Feiyang directly went up to him, turned around and entered the basket.
At the moment when Draymond Green was about to take action, Draymond Green jumped high and pounced. Zhao Feiyang adjusted his hand movements in mid-air and made a windmill layup, avoiding Green and throwing the ball onto the backboard.
Bang bang.
The basketball bounced twice on the backboard and then fell into the basket.
The ball went in.
The Timberwolves bench was filled with jubilation, and many teammates stood up to cheer for Zhao Feiyang's goal. The Chinese fans on the sidelines also applauded because Zhao Feiyang passed Stephen Curry.
"This guy Feiyang does have some brushes!"
"He and Curry are both great!"
"It's a pity that he is no longer one of ours..."
The score difference widened to 5 points.
This time the Warriors were really panicked. There was only 1 minute and 01 seconds left before the end of the game. There was really not much time left for the Warriors.
This time, as soon as the ball came out, Stephen Curry immediately passed the ball to Klay Thompson.
Klay Thompson ran wildly with the ball and shot directly from the other side of the court. He missed the basketball and the rebound was grabbed by David Lee.
David Lee forced a layup under the basket, but the ball he threw hit the basket. At the critical moment, Draymond Green once again picked off a rebound.
Snapped.
He threw the ball back to Klay Thompson.
This time Klay Thompson raised the basketball and threw it directly. Zach LaVine, who was marking him, had already stretched out his hand in front of his eyes, but he still couldn't block his hit.
Uh-huh.
The ball went in.
116 to 118.
The Warriors are still 2 points away.
The timer was running out rapidly, and the rhythm on the court was in chaos. Both the Timberwolves players and the Warriors players tried to seize the last chance to win.
When the Timberwolves served again, Zhao Feiyang was suddenly double-teamed by Stephen Distance and Klay Thompson. Unable to catch the ball, he could only quickly pull away and let Zach LaVine take his place.
Snapped.
Zach LaVine gets the ball.
When he dribbled the ball across half court, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green rushed up to him. Their sudden actions caught Zach LaVine by surprise. He happened to rush too fast and lost his center of gravity. If you can hold it steady, your foot will slip and the basketball will roll straight away.
"what's the situation?"
The Timberwolves' bench suddenly stood up, and head coach Philip Sanders also looked at this scene with a livid face.
The basketball rolled to Draymond Green's feet, and he picked it up and sprinted directly with the ball.
"Draymond, here!"
Stephen Curry is waving and shouting at Draymond Green.
"Draymond, pass it to me..."
The same goes for Klay Thompson.
But I don’t know what Draymond Green was thinking. This guy didn’t pay attention at all. He dribbled the ball across half court and came to the Timberwolves’ three-point line.
"It's over!"
Curry shook his head.
Clay was also helpless, "This guy got into trouble again..."
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr on the sidelines looked even more anxious.
"We missed our best chance to overtake..."
However.
A moment later, the three-point ball thrown by Draymond Green drew a perfect arc in mid-air, and then fell steadily into the basket.
Uh-huh.
The ball went in.
