The New York Knicks took the lead with the ball.
After getting the ball, Zhao Feiyang looked for an opportunity at the top of the arc after halftime. DeAndre Jordan saw this and directly raised the ball from the low post to the high post to pick and roll.
Seeing this, Zhao Feiyang took advantage of the situation and went to the basket. When Draymond Green had to cover Zhao Feiyang out of position, Zhao Feiyang threw the ball out with a throw.
Jordan, who followed up to the basket, jumped high, dunked an alley-oop in mid-air and slammed the ball into the basket.
The Madison Square Garden arena burst into cheers.
The fans were excited and applauded the cooperation between Zhao Feiyang and DeAndre Jordan.
Even Smith, who was responsible for the live broadcast commentary, couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that the city of alley-oops will change places in the future, and it is our turn in New York to enjoy such an honor..."
The Warriors serve.
Stephen Curry advances with the ball.
After halftime, Green came up to help him cover. Curry wanted to dribble the ball into the two zones, but was quickly blocked by Zhao Feiyang and Zach LaVine. He had to give the ball to Klay Thompson.
Thompson rushed into the basket with the ball. Faced with Jordan's defense, he dribbled to avoid and rushed to the other side of the basket. But just when he thought he could take a safe shot, another big man of the Knicks, Bol Zingis lunged at him.
Snapped.
Thompson's shot was slapped away.
The whole place was in an uproar.
No one thought that the Knicks' interior defense would be so good!
After the basketball fell out, it was recovered by Adrian Ennis on the wing. The ball once again fell into the hands of the Knicks. Jordan, who received the pass, threw a long pass to the unmarked LaVine, who sprinted towards the half court with the ball.
As soon as he accelerated, Thompson immediately followed, followed closely by Zhao Feiyang and Curry.
Seeing LaVine successfully reach the penalty area, Thompson pounced on him to prevent him from scoring, intending to use his body to interfere with LaVine's movements.
However, LaVine didn't give him any extra chances.
LaVine didn't even look back, and just threw the ball into the air behind him. Zhao Feiyang, who followed up, jumped up instantly, caught the ball in mid-air with one hand and smashed the ball into the basket.
boom.
The ball went in.
The tacit cooperation between the two amazed all the Knicks fans present.
"Oh! Incredible! How did Zach know that Zhao would appear behind him?"
"The cooperation between these two guys is so good! Just like LeBron and Dwayne back then... They did the same thing back then..."
"In this case, Stephen could only stand at a distance and watch Zhao dunk the ball... With his small body, he couldn't stop Zhao from dunking..."
The game goes on.
Seeing that the Knicks continue to score, the Warriors are also quite anxious. After thinking about it, head coach Cole directed the players on the court to hand the ball over to Kevin Durant.
As the top striker in the league, Durant's singles ability is one of the best.
The Warriors attack.
After the ball passed half court, Durant held the ball in the right position and played singles. The person who came up to mark him was Adrian.
Adrian is not as talented as Durant, but he is better because of his unremitting efforts. Even though he has become famous, he is still looking for people for special training in the offseason and has not given up the idea of improving.
As a result, after one summer passed, Adrian's defense made great progress.
Durant faced Adrian and kept shaking the ball. The two met each other, and Durant wanted to change direction and rush to the basket. His movements were very fast, but Adrian was always able to react immediately and keep up with his body rhythm at an extremely fast speed.
After several attempts, Durant failed to get rid of Adrian.
So he decisively chose to turn around, lean back and take action.
Adrian immediately pounced on him and his defense was already in place, but Durant still threw the ball steadily into the basket.
Uh-huh.
The ball went in.
There was finally a burst of cheers from the Warriors bench.
Coach Cole, who was standing nervously on the edge of the court, also breathed a sigh of relief.
Adrian looked a little frustrated when he failed to guard Durant. It was Jordan who stood up and comforted him at this time, "Adrian, don't think too much! You have done a great job!"
"Do you know what a superstar is? A superstar is when you try your best to defend, but he can still score... It's not your fault! I can only blame this guy for being too powerful..."
"Keep focusing on defense! You can learn a lot against these guys..."
Adrian quickly cheered up with Jordan's encouragement.
In the next few minutes, he did not relax in Durant's defense at all. Even if the opponent was still able to score, he would always recover his state and emotions as quickly as possible.
Such active defense also put more and more pressure on Durant. So, when the game entered 8 minutes and 30 seconds, Adrian's efforts finally paid off.
This time the Warriors attacked and the ball continued to shift after halftime. Finally, Durant received the basketball in the right corner.
Faced with Adrian's interference, Durant chose to take a forceful shot, but his physical strength dropped quickly at this time. When he took the shot, he did not expect Adrian's reaction to be so timely. Therefore, the moment he threw the basketball, Adrian He accurately flew in front of him and slapped the ball away.
Snapped.
The moment Adrian blocked Durant's hat, the entire Madison Square Garden couldn't help but scream.
"Well done!"
"Excellent defense!"
"I love this team so much...Thanks to Zhao! Because of his arrival, Zach and Adrian will come...the three of them The combination can be placed in any club in the league to quickly create a super team..."
The blocked ball fell out, and the first person to grab the basketball was Jordan.
After getting the ball, he made a long pass. This time, Zhao Feiyang rushed across the half court with the ball. As before, the four of them rushed to the Warriors' basket at the same time. This time, Zhao Feiyang chose to throw the ball behind him, and LaVine, who followed up, made the same choice as before.
boom.
LaVine leaped high into the air, took the basketball and smashed it into the basket with a one-handed dunk.
Countless fans were ecstatic, and the entire stadium was in a state of excitement.
The successive wonderful performances simply made the Knicks fans happy, and also made many celebrities on the sidelines instantly become fans of the Knicks.
call out.
When the referee's whistle blew, the first quarter of both sides officially came to an end.
The New York Knicks and Golden State Warriors scored 37-27, with the Knicks leading the Warriors by 10 points.
The moment the players from both sides walked off the court, there was a rare feeling of frustration on the Warriors side, while on the Knicks side, everyone was high-fiving, hugging, and laughing.
"Adrian, you are so awesome! You can actually beat Durant..."
"Our interior defense is very strong. It seems that even the strongest teams in the league are no match for us..."
"If we beat the Warriors, will we win the championship?"
