Chapter 343: Let go of the baggage

Chen Feng had been observing his teammates' running positions for a long time, and his excellent overall view allowed him to quickly find Favors.

An extremely good, extremely difficult back pass to Favors in the bottom right corner.

"Not good!" Chandler, who was in charge of defending Jordan Hill, suddenly roared with remorse.

All the Knicks players, including the team and the fans in New York, were nervous. They also realized that the big man in front of them had the ability to shoot, although they had never seen him throw three points, but since the opponent was such a tactic, then this big man definitely had such ability.

After all, Duncan was able to throw three-pointers at critical moments!

The atmosphere was depressed and tense, and the fans at the scene were so nervous that they didn't dare to breathe.

Favors adjusted slightly, and as he jumped to the top, the whistle for the end of the match sounded.

Everyone was staring at the ball that was spinning in the air, and this ball decided the life and death of the Spurs and whether the Knicks needed overtime to win the final victory.

The whole stadium was silent.

"Huh", the crisp and pleasant sound broke the silence of the audience.

When the people of San Antonio heard the voice, they cheered. New Yorkers, on the other hand, sighed.

However, the referee did not make a gesture for the game to go into extra time. Instead, he and the other two assistant referees watched the replay of the game.

"Doesn't the Spurs count this goal? Ha Luha, we have a chance that we don't have to play extra time. "Fans in New York are starting to look forward to it.

And the Spurs were nervous up and down, and they were scared. Fear of this ball doesn't count. In this case, it is better not to score a goal at the end!

However, to the disappointment of the Spurs up and down, after a few replays, all three referees agreed that the last ball had not left Favors by the time the whistle blew.

So this ball, invalid!

This result was a huge blow to the people of San Antonio, especially Chen Feng.

After learning of this result, Chen Feng fell to the floor, and the belief that supported him vanished, now. It was difficult for him to move.

It's not that Chen Feng has suffered a big setback. But after his physical strength was exhausted, he kept holding his breath and did not fall. And now, the breath dissipated, and he collapsed.

looked at Chen Feng lying on the floor. The entire Madison Garden arena fell silent.

Look at the guy who was still very hated just now. Their feelings at this time are very complicated. I don't know who took the lead, and they all stood up one by one, and the whole stadium was full of people for a while. Thunderous applause converged from all directions to Chen Feng, who fell to the floor.

Seeing this scene, Sun Zhenping and Xu Jiping, the two commentators, were very excited.

Xu Jiping explained: "In this game, we can clearly see Chen Feng's fighting spirit and his strength from his body. His fighting spirit, his toughness infected his teammates and the whole team. This touched us very much, in fact, after the game is at its worst, winning or losing is not so important. The important thing is that we saw the spirit of sportsmanship and the spirit of basketball in this game. Although the Spurs lost today, neither the Spurs nor Chen Feng will regret it because they tried their best. ”

Xu Jiping's commentary resonated with many Chinese fans who watched the game.

"Yes, Mr. Xu is right. In this game, Chen Feng's touching to us is self-evident. To be honest, it is very proud and proud that China can have such a player. Well, after the end of the game, let's draw the last lucky spectator. After Sun Zhenping echoed Xu Jiping's two sentences, he habitually started the lottery again.

In the end, the Knicks avenged their last one-shot victory by defeating the San Antonio Spurs 126-123 at Madison Garden, their home court, thanks to the combined power of two superstars, Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire.

Both teams had high scorelines and showed that both teams had strong scorers. Of course, on the other hand, it also shows that the two teams did not do very well defensively in tonight's game.

And with the loss of this game, the Spurs have not been able to win seventeen in a row. However, the seventeen-game winning streak is already the highest this season, and this record has broken the Spurs' all-time winning streak, not to mention, the seventeen-game winning streak can also rank in the top 10 NBA all-time winning streaks.

This result has already made head coach Popovich very satisfied.

Tonight, the Knicks' game-high scorer was Carmelo Anthony of the Knicks, who scored a season-high 46 points. The other core of the Knicks, Amare Stoudemire, still delivered 31 points and 9 rebounds despite poor performance in the second and third quarters.

The two teamed up to score 77 points out of 126, which makes people have to sigh at the outstanding scoring ability of the two.

On the Spurs' side, although Chen Feng was affected by physical strength almost all the time, he still sent a double-double of 28 points and 12 assists throughout the game, and his performance shocked New York fans.

Derrick Favors, the pillar of the interior, also contributed a double-double in this game, with 31 points and 16 rebounds. And Leonard has 17 points, 11 rebounds, three steals and dead assists, which is also amazing!

Despite losing the victory, despite being a loser in the game, the fans in New York still gave Chen Feng and the warmest applause to the Spurs.

They also saw Chen Feng's indomitable fighting spirit, and saw the unity and fighting spirit of the whole Spurs team, and they felt sincere admiration for this team.

In tonight's game, heroes are not judged by success or failure.

"There is no doubt that the opponent is a great team! But I want to say that I really don't want to say anything about Chen, Kowai and Derek, they are players who can change the trend of the game anytime and anywhere! I'm sure they can help the team and this time we lost, but I don't think there's anything wrong with that! ”

"Why don't you let Tim and the three of them stay on the court? Oh! You know, with less than 20 games to go until the playoffs, I need a healthy Tim, I need an energetic Tony and Manu, and I'm glad they did a great job! I'm sure he's going to improve, you know how hard it is to have a player like that!! ”

Popovich said so many things at the end of the game for the first time, he wanted to decompress his players, this period of consecutive wins made the players under a lot of pressure, this time the reason why Popovich let the troika rest, it is indeed to let them rest, but another point is that the Spurs win best, if they lose, the players will return to the previous normal level, instead of worrying about the winning streak every day.

In the training ground of the ATT Center Arena, all the Spurs players sat in a circle on the court, and head coach Popovich sat in the middle.

After losing to New York, Chen Feng and these young people really let go, so one by one they didn't have the kind of entanglement they had at the beginning, and they all let go.

"Tonight, we're going to play the Chicago Bulls. The last time we met, we narrowly beat them. And this time they will challenge again, they will definitely fight extremely fiercely and want revenge. And the last game against the Knicks, we lost. Tonight, we must not lose, we must not have two consecutive defeats. ”

On the other side of the court, the Bulls players turned a deaf ear to the crazy performance of the home fans and warmed up for the game wholeheartedly.

"Okay guys, it's time for us to warm up before the game, and we've got to win this game." Maddie said to her teammates with a determined look on her face.

The crowd gathered around, put their hands on each other's shoulders, lowered their heads, and shouted in unison: "Victory, victory, victory!" ”

After doing all this, everyone began to actively warm up before the game and prepare for the game against the Bulls.
