Chapter 401 Guarding the home court(1/2)

Wu Feng took a deep breath and looked at Jeremy Lin opposite him, his face becoming more and more serious.

The assist just now was Jeremy Lin's eighth assist in this game. His outstanding performance has completely revitalized the Knicks' offense.

And on the defensive end, he and his teammates also defended Wu Feng, causing him to make as many as three mistakes.

Mike Woodson was very satisfied with the team's current situation on the court. Standing on the long side, his face became much more relaxed.

On the contrary, Hawks coach Larry Drew was a little anxious at this moment, but he also believed that the players could handle the troubles in front of him.

The Knicks' outside line is very crazy. The Knicks' outside line led by Jeremy Lin has brought a great impact on the Hawks.

Larry Drew quickly called a timeout and prepared to arrange the defense in the last two minutes of the first half to find the right opportunity to narrow the gap to single digits.

Now, the Hawks are 13 points behind the Knicks.

This is a very big test for the Hawks. If they cannot narrow the gap to single digits before the end of the first half, it will be difficult to play in the second half.

Larry Drew also understands that the players are under a lot of pressure when they are away.

"In the last two minutes of the first half, we must do the defense well. The Knicks' outside feel is too hot. They can always hit our baskets. We have to strangle them and then use our inside advantage to pose a threat to the opponent's inside." Larry Drew held the tactical board, drawing and placing tactics in detail to the players.

Larry Drew's tactics were effective in the following time. Not only were the Knicks' outside shots pinned by the Hawks, but the firepower that hit the basket was extinguished by the Hawks.

Moreover, the Hawks' defense forced the Knicks to make mistakes, and used these mistakes to make a fast break counterattack.

With the end of the first half, the score between the two sides reached 44:50.

The Hawks scored a 11:4 climax in the last two minutes, successfully narrowing the gap to 6 points. It can be said that the tactics laid out by Larry Drew at the last moment of the first half were very successful.

Anthony and Jeremy Lin walked towards the rest area, and fans at Madison Square Garden Arena were calling their names.

It is understandable that as the two of the Knicks' best performers in the first half, they deserve the enthusiasm of home fans.

In the first half, Anthony felt quite hot. He scored 18 points, while Jeremy Lin scored 12 points and 8 assists.

Wu Feng also scored and assisted in the first half, with 17 points and 7 assists, both of which were the highest among the Hawks.

"Wu, how do you think your opponent today, Lin, is his performance?" A tall female reporter handed the microphone to Wu Feng.

Wu Feng put his hands on his waist, looking quite tired, and replied: "Lin is a very outstanding player, he has caused us a lot of trouble. His performance today is also very outstanding."

…………

After finishing the interview, Wu Feng immediately returned to the visiting team's locker room.

In the locker room, Wu Feng chatted with his teammates for a while and then took the time to rest. The same is true for most people, using the intermission time to try to restore their physical strength to the best.

However, the rest time is always short.

In a blink of an eye, the second half of the game began.

...

Jeremy Lin pretended to trick Wu Feng into making a foul, but Wu Feng naturally would not be fooled easily now.

Then Jeremy Lin passed the ball back and sent it to Steve Novak's hands. After Steve Novak received the ball, he took the ball directly.

With a "swish", Steve Novak hit his first three-pointer in the game.

The score on the field became 53:44, and the Knicks will sometimes expand to 9 points.

As soon as the third quarter started, the Knicks quickly got into the state.

Wu Feng used the ball and quickly advanced towards the Knicks' half. Jeremy Lin watched Wu Feng come to the frontcourt and quickly posted it on.

Since Wu Feng had already made three mistakes before, Jeremy Lin is also a little careless now. After seeing Wu Feng vaguely revealing his flaws, he immediately stretched out his hand to break Wu Feng's ball.

But just when Jeremy Lin thought he was going to cut off the ball in Wu Feng's hand again, Wu Feng suddenly pulled to the left and threw Jeremy Lin behind.

Getting rid of Jeremy Lin's defense, Wu Feng rushed straight toward the Knicks' basket.

At this moment, Tyson Chandler was guarding the Knicks' basket. Tyson Chandler did not dare to easily defend Wu Feng because Al Horford was behind him.

Seeing that Tyson Chandler did not make up, Wu Feng felt secretly proud, and without any pause, he still rushed to the Knicks' basket and then layup.

Tyson Chandler was anxious and quickly came up to block the block, but when he rushed to block the block, Wu Feng shook his wrist and the ball reached Al Horford behind Tyson Chandler.

After receiving the ball, Al Horford yelled and dunked his hands to score.

"It's worthy of being Wu, I'm too careless!" Jeremy Lin said annoyed.

The Knicks' ball rights, Jeremy Lin dribbled through half the game, and the person who defended him was still Wu Feng.

Jeremy Lin broke through with the ball on the top of the arc, then used his teammate's pick-and-roll to get rid of Wu Feng's defense, and then rushed to a quick stop jumper near the free throw line, and the ball took the shot.

However, just after Jeremy Lin made a shot, a man suddenly jumped in front of him and slapped the ball away with a slap.

Jeremy Lin was surprised to find that it was Wu Feng!

"This guy..."

Although he was blocked by one goal, Jeremy Lin's mentality was not greatly affected.

The basketball was snatched by Josh Smith and passed it directly to Wu Feng.

Wu Feng dribbled through half the game and made a wonderful pass to Al Horford at the basket, who made a layup. However, it was disturbed by Amare Stoudemire.

However, this goal is still considered a goal score because the referee believes it is a disturbance ball.

Jeremy Lin organized the Knicks' offense. Wu Feng was defending him.

All the shots were still aimed at him and Wu Feng, as if they had become the focus of the audience.

Jeremy Lin slowly dribbled outside the three-point line, looking for an opportunity to attack. However, after searching for a long time, he could not find Wu Feng's flaws.

Wu Feng's defense is now like steel and concrete in Jeremy Lin's eyes, unbreakable and has no flaws.

Time passed minute by minute, and Jeremy Lin was still controlling the ball outside the three-point line, constantly looking for opportunities.

Finally, Jeremy Lin suddenly started and wanted to forcibly break through Wu Feng's right.

However, Jeremy Lin was shocked to find that the ball in his hand had been cut off!

When Jeremy Lin turned around, he could only see Wu Feng dribbling the ball and killing for half the game, rushing into the Knicks' completely undefensive penalty area.

"Bang Dang", Wu Feng easily dunked.

"Drip", Knicks head coach Mike Woodson asked for a timeout without any surprise.

In this case, he must request a pause. Otherwise, the Eagles will quickly catch up with the gap.

53:50, after Jeremy Lin assisted Steve Novak to hit a three-pointer, the Hawks scored a 6:0 wave under Wu Feng's leadership, quickly narrowing the gap to 3 points.

Mike Woodson's timeout was very wise, and in this case, the Hawks' momentum was once again played out. If the Knicks did not make adjustments, the 3-point advantage would be fleeting.

"Awesome!" Al Horford gave Wu Feng a thumbs up.

Wu Feng smiled and walked back to the rest area with him.

Soon. The pause time ends and the game continues.

The Knicks' ball rights.

Jeremy Lin tried to break through Wu Feng, but did not find a chance, so he suddenly pulled to the left. Then he passed the ball from behind and handed the ball to Cameron Anthony who was ambushed in the bottom corner next to him.

Cameron Anthony aimed the basket and then made a three-pointer.

"Bang", Cameron Anthony's three-pointer hit.

Cameron Anthony missed the shot, and Josh Smith grabbed the defensive rebound.

Relying on his excellent breakthrough ability, Wu Feng slowly broke into the Knicks' penalty area. Just when Jeremy Lin, who was defending him, thought he was going to attack, Wu Feng suddenly passed the ball out.

Cork Hinrich, at the 45-degree angle of the right wing, received Wu Feng's pass from outside the three-point line and made a three-pointer directly.

On the Knicks, Jeremy Lin also scored a three-pointer using his teammates' cover.

Cork Hinrich and Josh Smith made a pick-and-roll cooperation, and after running back, he received a hit pass from Josh Smith and made a layup.

Then, Jeremy Lin hangs the ball backwards and hangs the ball to Tyson Chandler at the basket, who dunks his hands with both hands.

During this period, both teams played very efficiently on the offensive end. On the other hand, this also shows that the defensive intensity of both sides has become weaker during this period.

Under the leadership of Jeremy Lin, the Knicks players succeeded in the offense, and Jeremy Lin also gave 4 assists in the third quarter.

Later, Jeremy Lin was replaced and rested. After all, he did not have the physical fitness of Wu Feng and could not play for too long.

During the period when Jeremy Lin ended, the Hawks, led by Wu Feng, slowly narrowed the score to single digits.

Without Jeremy Lin's organizational support, the Knicks' offense will not be as smooth as before.

Moreover, the continuous missed shots made the Knicks' mentality even worse, while the Hawks took this opportunity to score 11:5 and recovered 6 points.

During this time, Mike Woodson called a pause in total, but it was almost useless.

Jared Jeffries of the Knicks received a pass from the bearded Barron Davis at the baseline. It was a very good opportunity, but the shot still missed.

The Hawks took the opportunity to launch a fast break counterattack. Jeff Teague passed the ball across most of the court and accurately delivered it to McGrady, who had just arrived on the court.

After McGrady received the ball, she dunked with one hand.

Although McGrady's physical fitness is not as good as before, the dunk without defense can be easily completed.

The fans of the audience started to make noise, and countless boos were given to the Hawks players.
