This is the first game after the start of the regular season this season, and it is the key to whether the Knicks can get off to a good start, and the audience is also quite concerned about the result of this game, which makes Zhang Chen unable to relax and accept the defeat in the fourth quarter. The Knicks were already a trapped beast in a cage, and although they were still at a disadvantage at this time, everyone's faces were filled with a look of desperate charge, and everyone could feel the courage coming from above.

In fact, these forces were driven by Zhang Chen, and those players saw Zhang Chen dragging a tired body and still wanted to play immediately after the start of the fourth quarter, which made everyone's blood boil for a while, and even Randolph also said that he would work hard. Only Eddie Curry still said that his foot was not healed and could not play, which was despised by everyone.

So far in this game, Zhang Chen has got 32 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds, this data is extremely brilliant, just from the data, today's Zhang Chen has made a complete merit, but looking at the Knicks fans who are eager for victory, Zhang Chen was in a trance, feeling that he could not usher in a defeat after the first hearty performance anyway, so he struggled to get back on the court.

D'Antoni pressed him to his seat and whispered in his ear, "Hey, Chen, your body has reached a critical point...... Do you love this team? ”

"Hmm." Zhang Chen nodded, and D'Antoni said, "That's good, so you have to trust your teammates too." ”

Zhang Chen suddenly realized, nodded, and then said please, and then except for Randolph, who still didn't care, everyone else was ready to do their best.

Zhang Chen also really gained initial cohesion in the Knicks, and he also established a relatively good image in front of the fans.

The players of both sides also engaged in a fierce battle after the start of the fourth quarter, and everyone had the fierceness of the decisive charge on their faces, and they stood in front of their opponents and began to charge.

It was the Knicks' first competitive game of the season, and they didn't want to lose in front of their home fans, which became the belief that sustained their battle, and the Hawks' tried and tested tactics in front of a mourning team were also offset. First, David Lee received a pass from Dujon and then forced a slam dunk inside, and then, Gallinari from the outside shot a three-pointer and hit the third three-pointer of the game.

Seeing the two rookies play, Randolph, who has always valued his own honor the most, also began to exert his power, he used a method of shaking from side to side to push his opponent away with his big body, and finally made a successful layup. Then, Du Hong himself hit a mid-range shot, which finally stabilized the situation again. It's just that the peace that you go back and forth didn't last long, because the Hawks quickly made a comeback, and the two tall interior lines scorched the Knicks' interior line, and then, their outside line also began to convulse, and suddenly, the situation was reversed again.

The reason for this is basically because of the Knicks' players, their morale can help them score in a short period of time, but it can't help them win for a long time, this is the reason why the Knicks can rely on their momentum for a short time to gain some momentum advantage, but when the opponent withstands this pressure and starts to fight back in an orderly manner, they immediately fall into the disadvantage.

The Knicks have always been trapped in this box, and every time they try their best to take the lead, who knows that they start to collapse in the back, which makes them feel quite painful but there is no good solution.

In the sixth minute of the fourth quarter, the Knicks were once again scored by the opponent after approaching the opponent's score, and now they are 11 points behind the opponent, Zhang Chen can no longer sit still on the bench, and D'Antoni has to call a timeout.

The Knicks are not only not a weak team in terms of individual combat level, but they are still a strong team, but when they are 1+1, it is not equal to two, much smaller than two, which is D'Antoni's biggest headache. However, he also knew that these things were in a hurry, so he could only reconcile them slowly and slowly, but now he was a little hairy in this situation of burning eyebrows, so he could only send Zhang Chen, the trump card, to hand over the unlimited firing power to Zhang Chen, so that he could try his best to catch up with the opponent's score.

At the same time, he also asked Randolph on the inside to strengthen the offense**, and also grabbed rebounds, in fact, Randolph today has also cut 17 points and 8 rebounds, which is not bad, but D'Antoni needs him to strengthen his control over rebounds, rebounds are the basis for launching offense!

Zhang Chen returned to the court, and now the Knicks are basically the main force, except for David Lee on the inside, the others are continuing the lineup when they started. The first ball was the ball possession of the Knicks, Zhang Chen did not seek to be fast but steady, slowly controlled the ball to the front court, and then passed the ball directly to David Lee on the inside.

David Lee saw that there was no chance to play strongly, so he had to pass the ball back to Zhang Chen's hands, so Johnson, who was defending Zhang Chen, began to get nervous again. Zhang Chen originally wanted to plan to attack directly, but out of the corner of his eye, Randolph, who suddenly swept to the inside, suddenly left the defender behind, and with the help of David Lee's cover, directly inserted it into the left side of the basket. After all, this is a matter related to victory, Zhang Chen will naturally not be affected by personal selfishness and grievances, he used a ground-hitting pass, directly let Randolph on the inside receive the pass, and then ended the offense with a layup.

This ball is passed quite beautifully, and it is strange to say, it is not difficult for Zhang Chen to see clearly in other people's good positions, but he can often find Randolph's good positions, which makes Zhang Chen feel painful - do we really have that kind of legendary tacit understanding?

Although this thing is a bit funny to say, but it does exist, Randolph also hit a layup before suddenly waking up that he had just received a pass from Zhang Chen, but he couldn't regroup now, so he had to come to Zhang Chen's side and say, "Hey, I helped you brush up with another assist." ”

Zhang Chen wanted to save his physical strength now and didn't want to debate with him, so he said directly: "Oh, you did a good job with this ball." ”

Zhang Chen just said something unintentionally, but Randolph who heard this sentence had an indescribable feeling, he thought that he would be ridiculed by Zhang Chen, but he didn't expect this guy to come with such a hand...... He's pretty unpredictable -- but his words are pretty good, and they sound good. Thinking of this, Randolph's battle ** couldn't stop rising, and he couldn't wait to find another opportunity for such an empty layup.

Today, Zhang Chen has brushed 6 assists, even two higher than Du Hong, and this number of assists also makes everyone feel that Zhang Chen has really grown a lot, but if you look closely at Zhang Chen's assists, you will find that most of them are just luck, not that his overall situation, vision and passing ability have been greatly improved.

After all, Zhang Chen is now a player in possession of the ball, and he also occupies the right time and place to be able to find the vacancy of his teammates, and his height of 2.03 meters also expands his horizons.

The Hawks' next offensive hit was successful, once again making the Knicks' efforts come to naught, Zhang Chen controlled the ball and came to the frontcourt, with the help of Wilson's pick-and-roll, directly to the right side of his body, and then threw a step-back jumper under the opponent's defense, and the basketball crashed into the basket with the hope of the Knicks' revival, so that their score gap was narrowed by three points again. There are eight points left in the final score.

However, the Eagles' offense was also unambiguous, and they returned the favor with another mid-range shot, and while their lead had been eroded by a point, it was largely negligible. Then the Knicks started to attack again, this time Zhang Chen handed over to Du Hong to control the ball and organize it himself, and he also noticed that his physical strength was passing again, so it was best to put the ball control and organization in the hands of a professional like Du Hong, so as not to let the team fall into trouble while running out of physical strength while being a halfway monk.

Dujon sent a wonderful pass this time, and finally assisted Wilson on the outside? Chandler scored on a jumper and hit a two-pointer to leave the margin seven points remaining.

Another Hawks offense began, and this time their good fortune finally ran out, as he missed a jumper and was grabbed by Randolph for his ninth rebound of the game, and then he moved his body so fast that he looked like a slim, slender, leg-long sprinter hurricane - and quickly returned to the half court to ask for the ball. He wants the ball to be straightforward, because he grabbed the rebound himself.

The basketball also passed to Randolph's hands as he wished, but unfortunately he was a little reckless in this shot, the basketball was covered by the basket, and the Eagles took advantage of the chaos to launch a fast attack, so that the score gap returned to 9 points.

…… In this way, the two teams came to the final two minutes in this situation where neither team could make much of a difference in the score, and now the score situation between the Knicks and the Hawks is 101-109, and the Hawks lead by nine points, but fortunately it is the Knicks who have the ball.

The audience watched with trepidation, for fear that the Knicks would be destroyed by the Hawks like this, and the New Yorkers were loyal Knicks fans after all, and they didn't want to see their team be killed by their opponents at home, so their cheers became hotter and hotter. It's just that seeing that the Knicks have been unable to get the score closer, this makes them all sweat.

"Come on!"

"Wind God, wield it! Kick Atlantan's ass! The cries of the crowd accurately crashed into Zhang Chen's ears, Zhang Chen is now in possession of the ball for half the court, automatically ignoring all the voices next to him, although he just gave possession to Du Hong, but seeing that the opponent's pressing is becoming more and more intense, he has to regain control of the ball himself - although Du Hong will basically not be stealed, but that will waste extremely valuable time for the Knicks.

After Zhang Chen controlled the ball, the opponent came up several times to try to force or delay the time was cleverly avoided by Zhang Chen, until he came to the front court, at this time he suddenly stopped, Johnson looked at him strangely, wanting to know what Zhang Chen wanted to do, Zhang Chen stretched out his right hand and pointed forward, it seemed that he was organizing an attack.

Zhang Chen passed several assists today, which made the Eagles pay more attention to Zhang Chen's assists, so when they saw this situation, they immediately began to adjust their formation, and it was best to block Zhang Chen's passing route. But at this moment, Zhang Chen suddenly jumped high in front of Johnson!

Johnson was taken aback, and was extremely annoyed by Zhang Chen's unreasonable rather obscene jump shot, but time did not allow him to say more, so he had to jump up, but he found that his hand was still a little shorter, Zhang Chen had already pushed out the basketball in his hand above his hand, and the basketball slid through a graceful arc, starting to jump from beyond the three-point line, until it was directly inserted into the basket after gliding for a long time!

"Zhang Chen! --Three-point shot--" DJ's excited voice echoed in the audience, and then everyone applauded, and the score gap was only 6 points!

With 1 minute and 30 seconds left, the Hawks immediately launched an attack, but David Lee, who was quite active in defense, made a defensive foul on the inside, made two free throws, and the score gap was still 7 points.

Therefore, watching this kind of game is not only the players who play need a big heart, but also the spectators who watch the game also need a big heart, otherwise they will be made of myocardial infarction by this fierce competition. Zhang Chen's jumper was about to be blocked by the opponent, because the time he chose to shoot was pierced by the opponent first, and then his jumper was a little dangerous.

However, Zhang Chen used a technical move that stunned his opponent and all the spectators at this time - his hands made a small fold in the air, and it was this small fold that dodged the opponent's fatal block and slowed down the basketball. When the opponent began to land, the basketball really left Zhang Chen's hands.

Such a difficult shot, and outside the three-point line, many people are not hopeful, but when they see the full trajectory of that ball, they also have some expectations in their hearts. In this way, basketball carried their expectations all the way to the basket, once again shattering the fragile hearts of Atlantans!

The three-point shot was hit again, and the Knicks' score gap was only the last 4 points left! At this time, there was still the last 1 minute 01 seconds left, the Hawks had decided to delay the offense, for a while the Knicks lacked tactical guidance, but they didn't know whether to foul or not, the basketball was dragged to 22 seconds before shooting, the whistle ball finally fell into the basket, so the score gap became six points again, there were 37 seconds left, D'Antoni handed over a timeout.

"Hey, guys, we're going to get a foul!" That's the central idea of everything D'Antoni said during this timeout, and of course to complement it, the following sentence is also quite important: "Pass the ball to Tatsuna, let him execute the three-point attack!" ”

At this time, the hope of whether the Knicks can win is basically placed on Zhang Chen, who has scored 40 points in this game.

Zhang Chen nodded solemnly, he has never been afraid to take responsibility, especially when the responsibility is within his ability - he confidently believes that he will be able to turn the tide and add a small wave to the vast ocean that he has created countless miracles.

When he returned to the court, the Knicks' first offense was neat, but this time Zhang Chen was quite seriously trapped, and he had no choice but to pass the basketball to Wilson? Chandler, who fired a jumper from beyond the three-point line, and with 27 seconds left, Chandler hit a jumper to bring the gap back to 3 points!

The Eagles are in a hurry! They immediately passed the basketball to the point guard, veteran Mike ? In Biby's hands, Bibby was fouled by the Knicks' Duhon as soon as he received the ball, sending him to the free throw line, and then amid the various curses and greetings of Knicks fans, Bibby abandoned all interference factors and hit the free throw steadily.

Then the Knicks attacked again, but this time they changed the way - the bad basketball was controlled by Du Hong across the half court, and then quickly passed the ball to Zhang Chen on the outside, Du Hong has attracted a large part of the defensive attention, which made Zhang Chen's defensive pressure a little easier, and he also used his clever running skills to make the opponents helpless.

Then, Zhang Chen's body bloomed in the unconcerned sky again, stretched his body in the sky, and gently pushed the basketball out.

"Huh!" With one arrow through the heart, Zhang Chen shot a three-pointer again, raising his score to 43 points and narrowing the score gap to two points!

There are 14 seconds left on the clock, and because the Knicks' tactical execution is somewhat lacking, they spend a lot of time on each offense. This time, the Hawks made a few basketball passes to prevent the Knicks from fouling as soon as possible, but things on the basketball court, it is not easy to successfully defend, but will it be difficult to foul? In the end, the opponent's power forward was still hugged with a sad face, so he was sent to the free throw line.

The Eagles' head coach and players were in a state of concern — this guy's free-throw percentage was a bit of a concern.

Then, the fans in New York finally began to greet the guy's various ancestors and mothers, while also cursing at him with more vicious words, and many whistled to interfere with his free throws - with eight seconds left, they had to make the guy's free throws go wrong.

"Bang!" The fans' tactics turned out to be successful, and the guy missed the free throw for the first shot, and then he was about to start the second free throw.

Zhang Chen and they saw that in front of that guy, Randolph began to twist his fat body and began to twist in front of him, the referee originally wanted to warn Randolph, but this was not named, so, with the cooperation of Randolph and the audience, the power forward's second free throw was also out of the basket according to the wishes of everyone in the Knicks! The rebound was grabbed by the quick-eyed David Lee!

Hope!
