Chapter 276: G1 Fierce Battle
Manhattan.
Madison Square Garden, although it was not the Knicks' home game tonight, the arena open to fans was still packed, and more than 20,000 fans watched the game through the big screen in the arena.
When Lin Feng hit another three-point shot against Green's defense, the entire Madison Square Garden immediately boiled, and people high-fived and cheered.
In fact, the scene in Madison Square Garden is just a microcosm of the whole of New York City, and tonight, the whole of New York City is watching one thing: the NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and the Golden State Warriors.
Even, even the big screen in New York Times Square is playing live games, you must know that the big screen advertising in New York Times Square is every second, but tonight there are no various advertisements on the big screen, but it takes a full two hours to broadcast the game between the New York Knicks and the Golden State Warriors, which has never happened before, it can be seen that the entire New York City attaches great importance to the Knicks finals.
Oracle Arena, Auckland.
Lin Feng responded with three points in a tough response, which made the fans at home a lot quieter.
It was another offensive opportunity for the Warriors, this time, Stephen and Clay made two blocks in a row on the outside, and Clay got a not-so-good shot, he hesitated, made a three-point shot, and hit the iron.
Chris protected the backcourt rebound, the Knicks launched a fast break, Lin Feng rushed across the half court with the ball, and hit the inside, Barnes and Bogut pinched Lin Feng.
Lin Feng did not choose to force a layup, but passed the ball back to Jones, who was following him, who was in an unguarded state.
After Jones received the ball, he made a decisive shot and hit the shot.
9:12!
The Knicks led by 3 points, while Lin Feng contributed an assist.
In the next round of offense, the Warriors were forced to play inside by Bogut.
The difference between the two sides has returned to 1 point, and the game has also entered a state of seesaw, the two sides have come and gone, and the difference has always been around 3 points.
At 2 minutes and 50 seconds in the first quarter, the game entered an official timeout, and the score of the two sides was 29:31!
The away Knicks are 2 points ahead, and among the team's 31 points, Lin Feng himself contributed 15 points, Lin Feng's offensive desire in this quarter is not too strong, after scoring ten points in the opening game, he didn't take the initiative to attack, and most of the time he was creating opportunities for his teammates, therefore, Lin Feng got 7 assists, that is, in addition to his own 15 points, 14 of the 16 points scored by his teammates were directly related to him, and the other 2 points were still free throws.
This shows the importance of Lin Feng in this team.
The head coaches of both sides have made changes to the lineups on the court, with Lin Feng and Chris off the court on the Knicks' side, and Stephen and Green on the Warriors' side.
"The game enters rotation time, and this time is the best time for the Warriors to open up the difference, and the Warriors have an absolute advantage in the rotation lineup." CCTV commentary seat, Yu Jia said.
"That's right, the depth of the Warriors' roster is stronger than that of the Knicks, after all, they have Stephen, Klay, Green, even if it is a rotation lineup, the three of them can always guarantee that one person is on the court, in addition, the Warriors' rotation lineup also has Iguodala, Livingston, Speights and others, the strength of these people can be comparable to the Knicks' main players, so the rotation time is also crucial for the Knicks, they have to drag each other as much as possible." Liu Weiping analyzed.
"Yes, the Warriors' rotation lineup is terrifying, the MVP of the last Finals Iguodala played on the bench with the Warriors, it's really unimaginable, and Livingston's mid-range shooting is also a headache for the opponent." Yu Jia sighed.
"Don't forget, there's Speights, he's a big man who can shoot three-pointers, and in the Western Conference finals against the Thunder, he shot four three-pointers in one game, and he can't be underestimated!" Liu Weiping added.
"Well, if Speights' three-point shot is shot, it's really hard to defend, but, it's strange to say, all the players seem to have started their three-point skills as soon as they get to the Warriors." Yu Jia said with a smile.
"Maybe it's influenced by the Splash Brothers, in addition, it's also related to the team's overall playing style, come on, the timeout is over, and see if the Knicks can withstand the rotation time."
Stadium.
The game continues.
The Warriors replaced Stephen and Green with Livingston and Iguodala, the overall height of the team has not changed, and the offensive firepower has been slightly weakened, but they are much stronger than the Knicks, after Lin Feng and Chris are off the court, the Knicks' offensive burden is on Jones, in fact, he is also the player who has played the longest time in each Knicks.
The Warriors attacked, with Andre Iguodala and Livingston coming on the court, with the latter jumping up near the free-throw line.
Basketball hits steadily.
At 31:31, the two sides were tied.
Livingston showed his prowess from the start.
The Knicks attacked, and Jones hit the ball inside, which was also the weak link that the Warriors wanted to target, but Podolski's shot was deflected.
The Warriors, who got the rebound, immediately launched a counterattack, and Clay hit a three-pointer from beyond the three-point line.
34:31!
In the blink of an eye, the Warriors went from being behind to being a leader.
And after Clay's three-point shot, Oracle Arena was also jubilant.
"Sure enough, the Warriors played their style in rotation time." Yu Jia said.
"Now the Knicks have to have somebody step up and score, Jones can try some singles, he's still there." Liu Weiping said.
The game continued, and as Liu Weiping said, Jones tried a single, but unfortunately the shot was still iron.
The Warriors seized the opportunity to fight back again, and this time, Iguodala completed a slam dunk.
36:31!
The Warriors stretched the score to five points, which was also the largest margin between the two sides in the first quarter.
The camera was given to the Knicks bench, Fils frowned, and there was no intention of adjusting, in fact, he couldn't adjust, there were so many cards in his hand, he could only watch the players on the court play themselves.
Fortunately, Jones played a good game in the next offensive round, scoring a layup to narrow the score to 2 points, but just a dozen seconds later, Livingston hit another shot.
The score became 38:33.
The Knicks were still trailing by five points, and with 23 seconds left in the first quarter, the Knicks had one last chance to attack.
At this time, Fils made adjustments, and he replaced Lin Feng on the court again, obviously, he wanted Lin Feng to play the last attack.
Cook's bottom line serve, the basketball went to Lin Feng's hands, due to the abundant offensive time, so, Lin Feng was not in a hurry to attack, he slowly dribbled the ball through the half, and the Warriors' outside defensive leader Iguodala immediately posted up, in last year's NBA Finals, he was the player who defended the Cavaliers' number one Toms, and he was still very skilled in defense.
Lin Feng slapped the ball and controlled the time, and the other four teammates all pulled away.
7、6、5……
There were only five seconds left in the attack time, but Lin Feng still had no intention of attacking.
"Time! Time!! ”
Off the court, there was a reminder from his teammates from the Knicks bench, and they thought that Lin Feng had forgotten the offensive time.
And at this moment, Lin Feng suddenly moved, his body suddenly leaned forward and made a breakthrough action, and Iguodala believed that his true body involuntarily took a step back.
In this gap, Lin Feng jumped up and made a three-point shot!
Oh~!
With Lin Feng's three-point shot, there was a commotion in the Oracle Arena.
This three-pointer is too far.
In order to make the illusion of a breakthrough, Lin Feng's position was very close to the middle circle, and it was precisely because of this that Lin Feng leaned forward, and Iguodala was immediately fooled, because, under normal circumstances, no player would choose to shoot at such a distance.
However, he forgot that Lin Feng was not an ordinary player.
The basketball flew over the small half of the court.
Almost at the same time as the whistle sounded at the end of the first quarter, it fell steadily into the Nets!
38:36!
Lin Feng's three-point whistle helped the team narrow the gap to 2 points.
