Chapter 268: Losing Suspense (2-in-1)
Madison Square Garden.
Lin Feng and his teammates warmed up before the game, and there was still an hour and a half before the start of the game, while the attendance at the Madison Square Garden Arena was already as high as 90%, and the fans in New York showed great enthusiasm for the game.
ESPN commentary seat.
Today's partner with Ruby is the Knicks legend Davis, Davis is the Knicks' top outside shooter, and once led the team to the Finals with another Knicks legend Ewing, but unfortunately lost to the Spurs in the Finals.
That year was also the last time the Knicks appeared on the stage of the NBA Finals, and it has been 18 years since then, and this year due to Lin Feng's sideways, the New York Knicks finally have a chance to reach the Finals again.
"Hello Davis, we all know that you are the top scorer in Knicks history, and Lin Feng's three-point shooting ability is equally good, what do you think of this junior?" Ruby asked.
"Actually, I don't think I'm qualified to judge Lin, because he is destined to become one of the greatest players in NBA history, and now there are always some voices that look at Lin, and the reason is actually clear to everyone, mainly because Lin is a yellow race, and some people always think that the physical fitness of yellow people is not good, but Lin has given the best response with his performance on the court, in the past games, he has faced two or even three people to defend the game, but what is the result?" Davis spread his hands: "The data says it all, 81 points, 82 points, 88 points in a single game, if it's just a high score, it may be a coincidence, but Lin Feng's high score has become a norm, especially in the last game against the Bulls, in the face of Rose and Butler's defense, Lin Feng still scored 88 points, everyone knows that Butler is a member of the best defensive team in the regular season, and Rose is also a master of defense, if Lin Feng's physical fitness is really not good, how can he have such a performance? ? ”
Davis gushed.
"Oh, it looks like you're very optimistic about Lin Feng?" Ruby asked with a smile.
"Of course! I said that Lin is destined to become one of the greatest players in NBA history, and as long as he stays in his current form and is healthy, he even has a chance to challenge Mike's place in history. Davis said with a determined face.
"Now the outside world always says that Lin Feng can only shoot three points, he is not a superstar, just a super shooter, what do you want to say about this?" Ruby asked again.
"Let the person who says these words go to eat shi! Anyone who says such things is an idiot! The accuracy of the three-point shot will even attract doubts, which is really enough! As a professional player, the most important task on the court is to shoot the ball, Lin can easily shoot more than ten three-pointers per game, this is his ability, looking at the whole league, can anyone else do it? Davis pouted disdainfully, and then continued: "In addition, the person who says this kind of thing must be blind, Lin Feng can still assist, can also grab rebounds, and he also has a lot of inside scores, almost every game we can see Lin Feng into the inside dunk score, and even, Lin Feng also staged a smash in the first game of the East Finals, this kind of performance is not almighty enough??" ”
Davis Balabala said endlessly, it seems that he is a faithful Lin Mi.
15、16、17、18……
While Davis and Ruby were chatting, a neat shout rang out in Madison Square Garden.
"Oh, Lin Feng practiced three-point shooting outside the three-point line again, and he has hit 20 shots in a row, no wonder the fans at home are so excited." Ruby said.
"Haha, this is really a good sign, I remember the last game, Lin Feng hit 30 three-pointers in a row during the pre-game warm-up, and as a result, Lin Feng ushered in a big explosion in the last game, breaking the NBA single-game scoring record held by himself, does he still want to refresh the record this time??" Davis laughed.
"That's right, that's a good sign, the Bulls should be careful." Ruby said.
"The Knicks can't take it lightly, the Bulls are already on the edge of the cliff, and they're going to give it their all tonight." Davis Road.
Stadium.
Lin Feng's consecutive three-point shots are still rising.
27、28、29、30!!
Another 30, Lin Feng once again hit 30 three-pointers in a row in the pre-game warm-up.
After Lin Feng shot the 30th three-pointer, there were also enthusiastic cheers in Madison Square Garden.
Bulls halftime.
Rose, Butler and other Bulls players were also warming up before the game, and after seeing Lin Feng hit 30 three-pointers in a row, everyone was lonely, 0:2 behind, fighting away, there was such a monster as Lin Feng in the opposing team, this game couldn't be played at all!
In the evening, half past seven.
Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals has officially begun.
The starting lineup of the New York Knicks is the same as before, Jones, Lin Feng, Cook, Chris, Podolski.
The Bulls made a slight change, head coach Thibodeau put small guard Brooks in the starting lineup, and Gibson was put on the bench, so that the Bulls became a small lineup, with a combination of Rose and Brooks in the backcourt, Butler and Gasol on the frontline, and Noah playing center.
The referee's whistle blows.
Noah and Podolski jump ball.
Podolski was lucky today as he touched the ball first and played the basketball towards his own half.
Cook got the ball and threw it to Lin Feng.
When the basketball hit Lin Feng's hand, a burst of enthusiastic cheers immediately resounded in the Madison Square Garden, and the shouts of "Lin" were endless, and several fanatical female fans in low-cut outfits even wrote Lin Feng's jersey number on their chests!
After ten battles in the playoffs, Lin Feng has completely conquered the fans in New York, in New York, you can not know any Hollywood superstar, but when it comes to Lin Crazy, everyone knows it!
Lin Feng attacked with the ball, and soon after half time, Rose and Butler met together, but before the two formed a joint situation, Lin Feng changed direction at his feet, quickly broke through the defense line of the two, and held the ball to the inside.
"To my territory, you must look good!" Noah raised his hands high, ready to seal.
Lin Feng completely ignored Noah's defense, stopped and jumped, and came up with a super difficult backward jumper.
Noah jumped up almost at the same time and reached for the cover.
Still, the basketball flew past Noah's fingertips and towards the basket.
Swish!
The Nets flipped up.
Steady hits.
2:0!
Lin Feng opened the scoring for the Knicks.
"Oh, the ball is in, Lin Feng's backward jumper! Haha, those fools who say that Lin Feng can only shoot three points are optimistic, this is a real 2-point shot, and it is a backward jumper against Noah's defense, Lin Feng is simply an offensive kaleidoscope! ESPN commentary seat, Davis excitedly praised.
"Lin Feng's opening scoring method today was indeed a little different, and he completed a difficult step-back jumper." Ruby said.
Forest!!
Forest!!
Forest!!
After Lin Feng hit this step-back jumper, the fans immediately chanted his name, which was very rare in the NBA arena in the past, and this ball was not a key ball, and the game had just begun, so under normal circumstances, the fans would not be so enthusiastic, however, Lin Feng changed all this, and his goal immediately ignited the entire Madison Square Garden, which shows that Lin Feng is now in the hearts of New York fans.
The game continues.
The Bulls quickly sent out baseline shots to organize the offense, and the Knicks' defense was not fully settled, and Bulls guard Brooks threw an unreasonable three-pointer.
Swish!
The basketball crossed a strange arc over the arena and hit.
2:3!
The Red Bulls overtook the score with Brooks' three-pointer.
"Is that the use of Thibodeau putting Brooks in the starting lineup? Brooks seemed to have a good hand, and he was very confident in his three-point shot. Ruby said.
"According to Coach Thibodeau's defensive style, he would not put Brooks in the starting lineup, but today Brooks appeared in the starting lineup, it seems that Coach Thibodeau is ready to give it a go, after all, Brooks' offense is not bad." Davis Analysis.
"Oh, look at this ball, with Lin Feng's character, he must be responding to Brooks with a three-point shot!"
On the court, Lin Feng held the ball through half the court, but in the face of Rose and Butler's bag, he had no intention of passing.
Lin Feng made two feints in a row, trying to shake Rose or Butler, but neither of them ate Lin Feng's feints, and they were not out of position at all.
Rub!
Seeing that neither of them had taken a feint, Lin Feng kicked one foot and suddenly pulled it up, making a three-point shot!
Rose and Butler jumped up for the block almost at the same time.
However, Lin Feng's jump height on the spot far exceeded the two of them, and the basketball flew past the fingertips of the two.
"Oh, Lin Feng is a little too anxious to deal with this ball, he doesn't have to respond to Brooks." Davis shook his head slightly.
Swish!!
As soon as Davis's words fell, the basketball that Lin Feng shot also fell into the net.
Hit!
Lin Feng faced the defense of Rose and Butler's bag and shot three points!
5:3!
While Lin Feng responded to Brooks, he also helped the team regain the lead again.
"Oh my God, it's incredible, it's worthy of Lin Crazy!!" Davis exclaimed.
"It's shocking, right, the first time I watched Lin Feng's shooting on the spot, I was also shocked, unless the game was played to the last moment, otherwise, no one would shoot like this, this is simply looking for death, however, Lin Feng has shot too many such balls, and because Brooks shot three points in the last round, no matter how difficult this round is, Lin Feng will definitely respond, this is his style, this is Lin Crazy!" Ruby said with a smile.
"Yes, that's why the fans love him!" Davis shrugged with a smile.
Forest!!
Forest!!
Forest!!
The home fans chanted Lin Feng's name again, and the camera swept over, and some fans wearing Lin Feng's jerseys excitedly showed their jerseys to the camera.
The Bulls attack.
After losing two games in a row at home and falling behind 0-2, their hopes of reaching the Finals have become very slim, and perhaps because of this, the Bulls players have also unloaded their burdens, and they are playing with confidence today.
Rose broke through the ball, the basketball hit the inside, and Gasol hit a hook shot.
5:5!
The two sides were tied again.
In the next game, the two sides started a tug-of-war, and tonight, Lin Feng's desire to attack was not particularly strong, after he attacked a few, he began to create opportunities for his teammates, assists, rebounds, in the first quarter of the game, Lin Feng showed the fans his all-round side.
With 2 minutes and 43 seconds left in the first quarter, Phils rotated, and Lin Feng and Chris went off the court.
At this time, the score on the court was 29:26, and the Knicks led by 3 points, while Lin Feng scored 13 points in the first quarter, and scored 4 assists and 3 rebounds.
In the fight of the second team, the Knicks still did not have an advantage, and the first quarter of the game ended, 34:36!
Instead, the Bulls took a two-point lead.
After a short intermission, the second quarter began.
The Bulls took advantage of Lin Feng's break from the court to gradually pull the score away.
38:44!
After three and a half points in the second quarter, the Bulls had a six-point lead, at which time, Fils made another adjustment, and Lin Feng returned to the court.
And after Lin Feng came out, he immediately made a contribution, and he hit three three-pointers in a row in just one and a half minutes.
47:46!
Lin Feng once again led the team to take the lead.
The Bulls' offensive opportunity, Rose controlled the ball, and Lin Feng defended.
On the ground, Rose sped up the pace of ball control, and then made two changes of direction in a row, trying to shake off Lin Feng's defense, however, Lin Feng's reaction speed was extremely fast, and he was like a dog skin plaster sticking to Rose tightly.
"I'm going to have to go over once!" Rose gritted his teeth and turned around sharply, and then two more changes of direction at his feet.
This time, Rose's movements were very large, and the change of direction was very sudden, Lin Feng's footsteps were half a beat slower, and he really let Rose pass.
"It's finished!!" After getting rid of Lin Feng, Rose was overjoyed, but because his turning and changing direction movements were too big, his body lost his center of gravity, he fell to the ground unsteadily, and the basketball in his hand was also thrown out of bounds.
Beep.
The referee's whistle blows, and the Knicks have the ball.
Rose, who fell to the ground, pounded the floor in frustration, however, just as his leg tried to stand up, his face couldn't help but change greatly, and his right leg knee ached faintly.
"Damn!!"
Rose frowned in pain, sweat rolling down his forehead.
"Rose, what's wrong with you?" Butler walked up to Ross and asked with concern.
"Maybe the knee injury has come back." Rose looked depressed.
Hearing this, Butler's expression also became solemn, and he quickly signaled the referee to pause, and at the same time beckoned to the team doctor on the bench.
"Oh, looks like Rose isn't doing well." Ruby said with a frown.
"Hopefully he's okay, if Rose does get injured again, it's really worse for the Bulls!" Davis said.
The Bulls team doctor made a preliminary judgment on Rose's injury, and then, shaking his head, someone brought a stretcher and carried Rose directly off the court.
"Oh my God! Rose's injuries seem to be really serious! Ruby exclaimed.
"It is estimated that it is a recurrence of an old injury, Rose almost did not play in the regular season, it is said that the team doctor did not recommend his return in the playoffs, but the Bulls and the Heat played inseparably, Rose only came back, and his knee injury was not completely healed at all!" Davis said.
"This is really bad, if it is really like you, I am afraid that Rose will not be able to play in the next game, the Bulls are already passive, if they lose Rose again, oh, it seems that there is no suspense in this series at all." Ruby said.
"Yes, Rose is the brain of the Bulls, without him, the Bulls' offense will immediately drop to a level, and they will have no capital to compete with the Knicks!" Davis shook his head lightly and said, "However, this is good news for the Knicks, they don't have to play so hard in the next games." ”
"That being said, let's bless Ross and hope he's okay." Ruby sighed softly.
Stadium.
A match cannot be terminated by an injury to a player.
After the timeout, the game resumed.
The Bulls who lost Rose were indeed greatly discounted on the offensive end, and it was difficult for basketball to play their more advantageous interior line, on the other hand, the Knicks, under Lin Feng's organization and combing, their offense was well organized.
Soon, the half-time game was over.
72:55!
The Knicks already have a 17-point lead, and the game is almost out of suspense after Rose is gone.
