Zhang Chen's successful dunk immediately raised the morale of the Knicks a lot, and at the same time made the audience next to the basketball court cheer like thunder.

Zhang Chen's role in this game is undoubtedly quite huge, he can always stand up when the team is in crisis, and he can maintain his high shooting rate when he comes forward, with Zhang Chen, the Knicks have an invincible trump card, under Zhang Chen's attack, the Trail Blazers are getting more and more difficult.

Originally, if the overall strength was discussed, and some tactical literacy and other deductions, the Knicks would definitely not be the opponent of the Trail Blazers, but today's Knicks seem to have lost their morale in the fast break in the second quarter and played a wonderful game. Morale is a good cycle if it's handled well, and today's Knicks have achieved such a good cycle, with every offense they can make a difference, and at the same time, the three-pointers from the outside occasionally shine to tear apart the opponent's defense and the Nets.

With the help of this morale, the Knicks' players seem to have begun to work hard in one place, so that every time the Trail Blazers want to get back the score, they will be counterattacked by the Knicks, and slowly the score gap will be dragged down.

In the second half of the third quarter, Zhang Chen suddenly entered the interior and completed a slam dunk, which extended the Knicks' lead by two points, and also used this slam dunk to completely arouse the morale of the Knicks. After that, the Knicks' players attacked more ferociously, in the next game, first Zhang Chen broke through the inside line again, and after the breakthrough, the ball was passed to the nearby David Lee, David Lee did not live up to Zhang Chen, and the dunk was successful. Then, Randolph also pulled a three-pointer from the outside, and the combination made the Trail Blazers dizzy again, and then, although Roy had been trying to raise everyone's morale, he had nothing to do, and the Knicks attacked with the help of morale.

With eleven seconds left in the third quarter, the Trail Blazers were already trailing the Knicks by eight points, a margin that surprised many people who watched their game with ill intentions toward the Knicks.

There were eleven seconds left, and everyone was allowed to launch one last attack, and now the ball was in the hands of the Trail Blazers, and the ball was in Roy's control, and he slowly approached the halfcourt and came to Zhang Chen, who opened his arms and stared meticulously at Roy's direction. Roy came to a cross-step change of direction, but he didn't plan to force Zhang Chen by himself, after all, Roy is a person who hates hard work the most, as long as he can find a good opportunity to reduce the amount of labor and increase the success rate, he will definitely choose Noah Ang. Therefore, this time Roy still entered the interior line with the cover of his teammates, and the players of Roy's powerful Knicks team are also obvious to all, so seeing this guy rushing towards the interior line, the Knicks' interior line instantly turned on his back and hurriedly went up to defend Roy.

The Knicks' swarm of defense soon created an opportunity for Roy, who slid the basketball into the air for some distance with a cold hook at the corner of his mouth, and finally hit the center.

"Bang!" The Trail Blazers' center slam dunk successfully, after this powerful slam dunk, the Trail Blazers trailed by only six points left, and the time was only two seconds, the Knicks this time by Miller near the halfcourt to make a long shot, the basketball slammed on the basket, bounced out, so the Knicks finally led by six points into the final quarter.

Back on the pitch, D'Antoni smiled: "Good job, boys...... You use your skills and hard work to keep the score gap, believe me, this will definitely be a good sign, we will be able to maintain this advantage, until the end of the game, in the next game, we slowly have to become steady and steady, when shooting, it is best to be able to find your own space and then shoot, when the time comes, Zach and David, the two of you have to quickly get under the basket, help grab rebounds or attack under the basket, the rebounding ability of the two of you is beyond doubt, Your important task is also to protect the rebounds and not let the basketball fall into the hands of the opponent. ”

"We got it!" David Lee and Randolph hurriedly expressed their attitudes, D'Antoni nodded with satisfaction, turned his body to face Zhang Chen and said: "Chen, your shooting rate is still very good, in the next fourth quarter, your three-point shot does not have to be shot often, but you can't hesitate every time you shoot, you have to find the time we need to shoot the three-point shot the most, and at the same time try to ensure the energy of your three-point shot, and what you need to do more in the rest of the time is to hit the inside line, and create a safe scoring opportunity for the opponent and yourself, that's it." ”

Zhang Chen nodded, and then D'Antoni didn't say much, just explained some tactics to everyone, and then the last quarter of the game began.

Zhang Chen didn't play immediately, because Zhang Chen had almost played full in the first three quarters of the game, so he really needed some rest now, and he opened an eyelid gap in his chair to look at the situation on the court. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Trail Blazers saw that Zhang Chen did not play and immediately adjusted their strategy, putting most of the defensive focus on Randolph.

To be honest, although Randolph is a little bulky, he is by no means ambiguous in his play, and his basketball IQ is also quite good, and his body is very flexible, and it is difficult for everyone to imagine that such a fat man has such flexible skills.

The Knicks' Zhang Chen can't play, and their outside offense will mainly be handed over to Wilson? Chandler and Gallinari, Wilson is a bit of a mixed up with the Knicks, because there are already Zhang Chen and Gallinari at the small forward and guard positions, although it is now Wilson? Chandler and Gallinari rotated to start, but he always felt that the ability of the big man of 2.08 meters was getting stronger and stronger, and he might one day not be able to compete with him, as for Zhang Chen...... He never thought of squeezing Zhang Chen out of the game, after all, he was Zhang Chen's teammate, and he clearly knew the horror of this teammate.

In order not to completely be compared to Gallinari, Wilson? Chandler has played very seriously in these games, scoring more than 11 points in each game. The Knicks' first offense in the fourth quarter was handed to Chandler, who took advantage of his teammates' pick-and-rolls to get inside, but the Trail Blazers reacted fairly quickly and were able to use their combined defense to make the breakaways of those who were not very good at breaking through.

Chandler was prevented, so he had to pass the ball back to Du Hong's hands, Du Hong also quickly broke through into the inside, and then when he wanted to divide the ball outside, he suddenly couldn't find the target, after all, Chandler's running skills were a few streets worse than Zhang Chenlai. Dujon had no choice but to pass the basketball to Randolph next to him, but unfortunately Randolph was also the opponent's key target, and he could only play this ball slowly.

Randolph has a very good basketball IQ, and he has his own unique views on the overall situation, he originally wanted to hold the ball and attack directly, but he inadvertently glanced at the outside line and suddenly saw a vacant seat in Gallinari, so he passed the basketball out, after all, he was very miserable by the opponent here, and he couldn't continue to score.

The basketball was pulled into Gallinari's hands, and Gallinari had already received many similar passes from his opponents, and when he shot, he stepped on his own rhythm without panicking, and then he raised his hand to shoot a three-pointer and hit it.

Gallinari really has a good three-point shot, and everyone likes to work with him because it adds one to their assist count.

Gallinari saw that he had scored, and waved his arm to cheer himself up, and everyone began to retreat to the halfcourt to meet the Trail Blazers' offense.

After the Trail Blazers' offense returned, the Knicks' players were locked up by the opponent again, and the Trail Blazers' defense was still a national soldier, and they spared no effort to defend the Knicks, and it was difficult to find a breakthrough. Therefore, after the Knicks lacked Zhang Chen as a breakthrough forward, they had to pass the basketball to Randolph on the inside, Randolph received the pass, and then began to shake from side to side, and then used his fat ass to knock away a player who came to defend, and then he began to jump shots. The trajectory of the basketball start is still quite beautiful, but it is on the rebound, and David Lee has been squatting there for a long time, seeing that Randolph did not hit this shot, he hurriedly jumped high, in the sky, he happened to receive the pass that began to fall at the highest point, and then shot directly in the air without pause, and came to make a rebound.

"Bang-......" The crisp sound of basketball entering the net was gently wafting in the basketball hall, and David Lee added a rebound and two points to his technical statistics, at this time the trail Blazers' backward scores were still not recovered, and the ball came to the hands of the Trail Blazers...... In the first five minutes of the fourth quarter when Zhang Chen did not play, the Knicks mainly played inside, and they almost handed over their offensive ball to Randolph and David Lee on the inside.

The two ensured that the Knicks were not overturned by the opponent at the beginning of the fourth quarter, but the Knicks without Zhang Chen lacked one of the strongest firepower points, knowing that Zhang Chen's shooting percentage could be used as an interior player.

Roy also took advantage of the time that the Knicks' Zhang Chen did not come back for the time being, and launched an attack on the Knicks again and again, and the Trail Blazers hit seven inches with snakes, which was to hit the Knicks' weak defense, so they also slowly recovered some scores.

With the last six minutes and 28 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Zhang Chen still didn't have enough rest, but at least he was able to use his current physical strength to maintain until the end of the game, so after a timeout, the Knicks replaced Zhang Chen.

In those first five minutes or so, the Knicks had one point left in their lead, and it was now the Knicks' possession.

The first ball Zhang Chen was in his own hands, after he rested for more than ten minutes before returning to the court, Zhang Chen already had enough physical strength to maintain his offense, the basketball passed half the court in Zhang Chen's hands, this time Zhang Chen played very cautiously, steadily and steadily, and did not want his team to be turned over by the opponent at this time.

The turnaround is actually not the most terrible, the most terrible thing is the moment after the lead is suddenly caught up by the opponent, the short-term gap in the morale of the team, this is the biggest blow to the team, Zhang Chen naturally can't let this happen, so he decided to play this first ball himself.

After coming to Roy, Gallinari quickly stood next to Roy, just now Zhang Chen and they were also choked by Roy's kind of blocking and dismantling cooperation, Roy They can always use the blocking and dismantling to tear apart the Knicks' defensive formation and find the strength to break into the interior. Now Zhang Chen and the others have finally returned a tooth for a tooth, Gallinari is tall and large, and he can do an excellent job of defending Zhang Chen's breakthrough. Zhang Chen controlled the ball and bypassed Gallinari, and then immediately increased his speed to the peak of the ninth level, and smashed into the inside line with full firepower.

Zhang Chen's acceleration is quite terrifying, compared to those black people with amazing speed, especially after he practiced his physical strength, the sudden burst of his speed also has more support points, for example, now, his sudden start, so that Fernandez, who hurried forward to defend, could not find the direction.

Zhang Chen's breakthrough was like a raging wind, sweeping away the place where there would be no grass left, and he quickly swept past Fernandez's defense, and the opponent's big forward had already met him at this time.

The Trail Blazers are now only one point away, and they must catch up with the score within these few goals, so that as soon as their morale rises, there is hope of victory in this game, so they must now do everything possible to stop Zhang Chen's sudden disruption.

Zhang Chen's breakthrough is as sharp as ever, he even casually made a butterfly step that changed direction before dribbling the ball under the crotch when facing the opponent's big forward on the inside, the opponent's big forward is ten centimeters taller than him, and his center of gravity is also ten centimeters higher than Zhang Chen, so in Zhang Chen's breakthrough where his head and body and basketball are shaking from side to side, he soon has a tendency to be a little unstable on his feet.

Taking advantage of such a little time, Zhang Chen suddenly withdrew his basketball, and at the moment of retracting the basketball, his body also retreated less than a step away, and quickly retreated parallel to the bottom line.

Zhang Chen made the opponent's big forward difficult to look at, and then, Zhang Chen had stopped steadily, and then his body slowly stretched out in the sky, and quickly, the basketball was raised by him near his forehead, and then he lowered his wrist and shot lightly.

The opponent's power forward couldn't even come up to block Zhang Chen, so he could only watch Zhang Chen suddenly pull up after stepping back, and throw the basketball that fluttered like a fallen leaf.

"Huh!" The basketball entered the net, making a crisp sound, although Zhang Chen's shot was very close, but because he used his ten-level pervasive shooting technique in the moment of the jump shot, the basketball still crossed a high and full arc in the sky, which looked extremely beautiful.

"Good shot!" The cheers were endless, and the reporter Cole, who took the photo, captured the moment when Zhang Chen jumped up and made a move, and excitedly shouted to his companion: "I can't believe it!" Zhang Chen's shooting is so beautiful...... The moment he lowered his wrist to shoot, it was as if he didn't throw a basketball, but threw a ball of air! ”

This sentence made a relatively perfect annotation for Zhang Chen's shot just now, in fact, Zhang Chen's shot just now was really beautiful, and the moment the basketball left his hands, the arc he crossed was also quite full, which caught the opponent off guard.

The score gap was stretched to 3 points by Zhang Chen's step-back jumper, and the game continued to start.

The Trail Blazers' offense was still quite strong this time, and the game was played to this extent, and each of them was full of belief in the score to catch up.

After the switch of offense and defense, the Knicks' ball was passed to Randolph's hands by Zhang Chen, Randolph has played basketball for so many years, and naturally knows the influence of morale on a team, and he knows what kind of responsibility he is shouldering with this ball now, so he plays this ball very seriously and hotly, his body is also doing everything, and his pace is also used in various ways, and his ass also hurts the opponent's stomach.

He managed to find a way to shoot, and he threw the basketball into the sky, which slammed into the rebound and flew into the net.

With five minutes and eleven seconds left and the score is now 94-91, the scores of the two teams today are quite high, and their offensive success rate is also very good.

After a few ball transitions, the two teams managed to maintain a slight balance - the Knicks couldn't pull the deficit away, but the Trail Blazers couldn't get it back, and they kept that attitude until the last two minutes of the clock.

The ball is in the hands of the Trail Blazers, who are now 105-102 and the Trail Blazers are three points behind.

Roy controlled the ball over half court and passed the basketball into the inside, but the inside line was defended very well by David Lee, so he had to re-pass the basketball and pass it to Roy's hands, Roy saw that the offensive time was running out, so he came to a stop-and-go jump shot, this time, the basketball finally encountered obstacles and was snatched by David Lee.

David Lee was holding the basketball, and he knew in his heart that he must have grabbed an extraordinary rebound.

Just now, as soon as he looked up, he saw Du Hong and Zhang Chen who were rushing towards the front court, seeing that Du Hong was closer to him, he immediately passed the basketball to Du Hong, and the moment Du Hong received the ball, Zhang Chen had already swept across the half court and came to the place where the opponent's three-point line was one step away, and Miller had already chased after Zhang Chen.

Du Hong had no reservations, and hurriedly passed the basketball in the direction of Zhang Chen.
