"Oh! The exciting moment has arrived. The Warriors are still 3 points away. We don't know if they can catch up. But judging from the situation on the scene, I personally think it is entirely possible for the Warriors to catch up... "
"Both sides still have offensive and defensive opportunities. If the Warriors want to win the game, it is entirely possible... Of course, I am also very optimistic about the Timberwolves. They played very well in this game... ..."
The host responsible for the broadcast chatted with the commentator.
At the same time, on the other side of the ocean in China, countless fans were watching this crucial game in front of the TV.
In the building where the Yanjing Chinese Basketball Association is located, Yao Ming, the chairman of the Basketball Association, was also watching the game with some senior officials.
Most of the people who come here to watch the game are seniors from the national team, including Gong Lao and other seniors who have made contributions to Chinese basketball. In short, they are basically skilled people rather than laymen who don't understand basketball and only know how to intervene randomly.
Everyone sat in front of the big screen, drinking tea and chatting about the game.
"Zhao Feiyang played very well today! He has scored 40 points now. This kid is really surprising!"
"Dayao, if this kid could perform like this when you were at your peak, I think it is possible for our national team to reach the top four in the Olympics, let alone finish eighth in the Olympics..."
Yao Ming also smiled and nodded.
"Yes! At that time, if we have Zhao Feiyang, the team will not be allowed to take off?"
"But I really didn't expect that there would be players like him in Chinese basketball... If he can lead the team to the finals this time, it will be a huge victory for our Chinese players and even the yellow players. ....."
The palace elder on the side also nodded repeatedly.

On the court.
The pause time is over.
Beep.
Players from both sides appear.
The Warriors serve.
Snapped.
The ball was given to Stephen Curry, and Zach LaVine set up a marking posture and followed him directly from the beginning.
Soon, the ball passed half court, and Curry was looking for an opportunity to attack at the top of the arc.
Klay Thompson on the wing wanted to come up to receive the ball, but Zhao Feiyang stuck to him and interfered with his receiving movements from time to time, making it impossible for Thompson to catch the ball.
Helplessly, Thompson, who was unable to catch the ball, chose to come up from the wing to help Curry pick and roll.
After the breakup, Curry took advantage of the situation and dribbled the ball into the two zones.
Zhao Feiyang and LaVine, who had already noticed the pick-and-roll action, immediately switched defenses. He targeted Curry who dribbled the ball into the two zones.
The two came to the penalty area one after another. Just when Curry avoided other defensive players and entered the basket to take a shot, Zhao Feiyang, who was ambushing behind him, suddenly flew up. Curry had already jumped up. For this kind of There is no possibility of concession at all.

The Warriors are 1 point away.
There are only 39 seconds left.
The Timberwolves got the ball out quickly.
This time LaVine gave the ball directly to Zhao Feiyang, and he also specially helped Zhao Feiyang cover so that Zhao Feiyang could successfully dribble the ball across the half court.
After reaching the half court, Zhao Feiyang stood at the top of the arc and assumed a one-on-one stance.
Thompson, who was guarding him, went up to guard him, and the two faced each other. Zhao Feiyang made a feint after changing, and then made a "worship" movement to deceive Thompson away.
When Thompson was stunned on the spot, Zhao Feiyang took advantage of the situation and broke into the two zones.
Seeing that he successfully reached the basket, the moment he was about to take action, Draymond Green rushed towards Zhao Feiyang.
Zhao Feiyang took action first.
But the moment he threw the basketball, Green still hit his hand.
boom.
This move caused Zhao Feiyang's basketball to fail to score.
However, what is incredible is that in this case, the referee did not make any whistle.
"Holy shit!"
"What's going on? There's a thug! Are you not bragging about this?"
Zhao Feiyang did not wait for the referee's whistle.
The rebound fell out. As soon as Howard grabbed the ball, Green next to him swooped in again and slapped the basketball that he had not yet grasped directly away.
Snapped.
The basketball fell into the hands of Andre Iguodala on the wing.
Iguodala reacted quickly and threw a long pass across the half court. At this time, Curry was the closest to the Timberwolves basket, so Curry, who rushed up from the half court, picked up the ball as soon as it landed.
This time he drove the ball directly to the basket and easily threw the ball into the basket with a layup before the Timberwolves defenders behind him could catch up.
Uh-huh.
The ball went in.

This time the referee's whistle finally sounded. Unfortunately, it was not a penalty, but Timberwolves head coach Norman Thomas's last long timeout opportunity.
Before leaving the field, Zhao Feiyang walked up to the referee and asked, "Draymond just hit my hand... I want to appeal... This ball should have been whistled... ....”
"I apply to watch the video playback..."
However, the referee was quite indifferent to Zhao Feiyang's request.
"Of course! You can watch the video replay! But not now...and we will not change the sentence...Don't try to interfere with me in this way..."
"Young man, no matter whether you are a star or not, what kind of star you are, the referee on the field is the biggest, do you understand?"
