call out.
The referee whistle sounded.
“Knicks substitution!”
After Irving led the Boston Celtics to a wave of offense, the New York Knicks also decisively chose to replace Zhao Feiyang.
After a period of recovery, Zhao Feiyang's physical strength has recovered. When he walked onto the court, the Celtics fans watching the game in the North Shore Garden Arena also specially brought him a "welcome ceremony."
Yes, the fans at the scene let out a burst of boos. They tried to use this method to stimulate Zhao Feiyang's mentality.
It's a pity that Zhao Feiyang, as a experienced veteran, has no impact at all on the boos from the fans.
call out.
The New York Knicks serve.
Zhao Feiyang advanced with the ball.
When he dribbled the ball over, Kyrie Irving stuck in front of him to mark him. From this moment on, the two finally met. After playing this game for so long, the two top defenders in the league also have the opportunity to face off.
One on one.
After halftime, Zhao Feiyang played singles at the top of the arc. He directly signaled to his teammates to pull away. Such an obvious challenge made Irving immediately excited, and also made the fans watching on the sidelines very excited.
Many people stood up from their seats, looking forward to the next duel between Zhao Feiyang and Irving.
The two faced each other, and Irving stretched out his hand to interfere with Zhao Feiyang's dribbling. Unexpectedly, Zhao Feiyang moved fiercely, and in the next second he suddenly changed direction and swayed to the other side. Irving's center of gravity shifted accordingly. When he thought Zhao Feiyang was going to rush out from the left, he didn't expect that Zhao Feiyang raised the basketball again and fiercely. The ground swayed to the right.
Irving missed the opportunity and watched Zhao Feiyang pass him and rush into the two zones.
Uh-huh.
Zhao Feiyang did not break through to the basket, but made a pull-up jumper in the two zones. When he threw the ball toward the basket, Irving also stepped up as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, his defense was still not strong enough to stop Zhao Feiyang's shot.
109 to 110.
It was Celtic's turn to fight back.
Irving held the ball for half the game, and not to be outdone, he also took the ball to confront Zhao Feiyang head-on.
Hayward on the wing was planning to come up to cover him, but Irving waved his hand to signal Hayward to get out of the way. The two met each other, and Irving made two crotch dribbles in succession. On the third time, he decisively raised the basketball and jumped to take a shot.
The whole action looks simple and efficient, almost done in one go.
The moment Irving shot the basketball, Zhao Feiyang also jumped up and blocked the shot with extremely quick reaction. He even almost touched Owen's palm.
Uh-huh.
The basketball still went in.
Irving once again used his singles ability to prove his strength as a top star!
The duel between the two sides did not end there, but became more intense.
As time passed by, Zhao Feiyang and Irving became the focus of the court. The entire North Shore Garden Arena is watching them, and the fans know very well that whoever plays better can lead the team to win the game.
The Celtics' lineup fully supports Irving with the support of head coach Stevens. The Knicks don't even need head coach Norman Thomas to arrange it. LaVine, Adrian and others volunteered to sacrifice the ball to help. Zhao Feiyang scored.
Under the constant competition between the two sides, there was only the last 1 minute and 11 seconds left in the game.
The score between the two sides was 137 to 136.
The Knicks trail the Celtics by one point.
Pause time.
In the Knicks' team bench, Zhao Feiyang was panting and drinking a sports drink. He had consumed a lot of energy in the previous few minutes of confrontation, and now he was panting.
The same is true for the Celtics. Irving, as a protagonist of the confrontation, is also exhausted at this time. After spending a lot of energy, he sat on the team bench and kept wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"It looks like the two cores of both teams are taking every opportunity to rest... The point difference between the two sides is very small now, and it looks like either one has a chance to win the game... It's just not I don’t know whether it is Kaili or Zhao who will have the last laugh..."
"This game is the most exciting one I have seen this season! The duel between two top defenders is really enjoyable..."
"I can't imagine that if Kyrie had not left in frustration, and he and Zhao had become teammates to fight for the championship together, then the Cavaliers should have been able to defeat the Warriors..."
His eyes returned to the court.
call out.
The referee's whistle sounded again, the timeout called by the Knicks ended, and both sides stepped onto the court.
Snapped.
The Celtics gave the ball away.
This time, his teammates helped Irving carry the ball across half court. After reaching the half court, Irving ran up from the wing to catch the ball. After getting the ball, he continued to hold the ball and faced Zhao Feiyang's marking. The two bodies had just touched each other. Irving turned his back to Zhao Feiyang and suddenly made a feint left and right. When his shoulder feinted to the left, Zhao Feiyang Feiyang's body center of gravity was also deceived.
At this moment, Irving seized the opportunity and rushed directly to the right. Seizing the opportunity, he opened the distance and raised the ball high.
By the time Zhao Feiyang rushed in front of him, Irving had already thrown the ball.
Uh-huh.
A solid two-pointer.
Irving's shaking drew constant applause from outside the court, and the fans also cheered for his superb passing skills.
The Knicks serve.
Of course, Zhao Feiyang, who was passed, refused to admit defeat. After getting the ball, he quickly passed the half-time. Irving put on a defensive stance to challenge him one-on-one. The two faced each other, and Zhao Feiyang suddenly made a "Bowing to Buddha" movement. Irving was thrown into the air by him, and Zhao Feiyang took advantage of the situation to make a breakthrough to the left front.
Irving subconsciously came up to defend, but Zhao Feiyang was waiting for this opportunity. He pulled the ball back behind his back, and when Irving pounced again, Zhao Feiyang changed direction from left to right.
Irving missed directly.
While the fans in the audience screamed, Zhao Feiyang, who had thrown away Irving, entered the basket and put the ball into the basket with a pull rod.
boom.
The ball went in.
Zhao Feiyang's dribble passed Irving cleanly. The fans at the scene were surprised and excited at the same time.
After all, this kind of confrontation between two major stars is really rare.
"This ticket is worth it!"
"If the Celtics knew the game would end like this, I'm afraid the tickets for this game would start at four figures..."
"I'm not surprised that Kyrie's dribbling is very good! Zhao's dribbling is also so good! The most important thing is that his ball control skills are not inferior to Kyrie at all..."
"He really has a shadow of Allen Iverson! It's just that Allen is faster than him, and he is more concise than Allen... Maybe it's because of the difference in height between the two, Zhao's height is taller, It’s not possible to achieve the speed of a small guy like Allen…but it’s pretty close…”
Time passed by minute by minute.
The game between the two sides finally came to the final moment.
When Irving scored another breakthrough, the score between the two sides was 144 to 143, with the Knicks still 1 point behind.
The next possession was in the hands of the Knicks.
There are only 17 seconds left before the end of the game.
