Chapter 398 For All Supporters, We Must Win(2/3)
The hearts of every fan in the Phillips Arena were beating violently, trembling and crazy with the loud noise.
"Wu Feng..." The fans called Wu Feng's name again, and Wu Feng's perfect dunk just now was deeply imprinted into people's brains.
"Wu's goal inspired his teammates and boosted the morale of the entire Hawks team." Tnt's column commentator Steve Cole excitedly explained.
77:82, the Hawks are still 5 points behind the Knicks.
"Man, you saved us." Al Horford excitedly clenched Wu Feng.
Wu Feng was also extremely excited, but he knew very well that although this goal had improved the team's morale a lot, the score difference was still behind.
"Bang", the ball passed by Cameron Anthony was intercepted by Marvin Williams. Then, the two rushed towards the basketball at the same time. Just as they were about to get close to the basketball, they flew towards the basketball at the same time. However, the result was that both of them fell to the ground but did not get the basketball. The ball continued to roll forward.
Wu Feng and Jeremy Lin rushed from behind and rushed towards the basketball like the two in front. However, Wu Feng's reaction was faster and he grabbed the basketball.
Wu Feng, who fell to the ground, ignored the pain in his body, sat on the ground and pushed the ball with a backhand, and passed it to Marvin Williams, who had just rushed into the Knicks' penalty area.
Although Marvin Williams did not score the ball, it also caused Tyson Chandler to make a defensive foul.
One of two free throws was made, and the score became 78:82, and the Hawks caught the gap to 4 points.
The Hawks' counterattack wave started, and the fire of hope in the hearts of Hawks fans ignited again. However, "Melon" Cameron Anthony shot a three-pointer at this time, expanding the gap to 7 points again, making the fire of hope in the hearts of Hawks fans a little dimmed.
After Marvin Williams took the ball through half the game, he took a firm move from the 45-degree angle outside the three-point line, but unfortunately, the ball missed and bounced out.
Al Horford and Josh Smith took off at the same time, competing for rebounds with Amare Stoudemier, and the ball was hit by one of the three and bounced out of bounds.
At the critical moment, Wu Feng quickly rushed from the outside to the inside, flew to save the ball when the ball was almost over and hit Marvin Williams, and he fell into the reporters' group.
Marvin Williams quickly caught the basketball, quickly adjusted his posture, and shot the ball out from outside the three-point line.
"Swish", this time, Marvin Williams' three-pointer scored!
82:86, the Hawks still have 4 points.
The Eagles fans who saw the ball enter couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, stroked their chests and stroking their hearts that were beating wildly because they were too nervous.
Wu Feng was pulled up by Marvin Williams, and the two of them slapped excitedly and returned to their half with other teammates.
"defence.defence,defence..." The fans at the scene shouted 'defense' and cheered up the home team.
Wu Feng also stared at Jeremy Lin running towards the frontcourt and shouted to his teammates: "Strengthen the defense."
The fans of the Hawks were infected by the fighting spirit and passion of the players on the field. They all spoke out with their greatest abilities to cheer for the Hawks.
At this moment, all the fans present understood that the Hawks players were all making the final struggle, a struggle to prove themselves and revenge.
…………
The Knicks attacked, Landry Fields broke into the inside, scored a one-handed dunk, and scored 2 points.
"My fault." Jeff Teague said guiltily.
Wu Feng controlled the ball and walked to the outside of the three-point line facing the basket. In front of him, Jeremy Lin kept staring at him.
Wu Feng glanced at the left, and Jeremy Lin, who had captured this slight movement, immediately moved his center of gravity a little to the left.
However, just as he moved the center of gravity, Wu Feng suddenly started to accelerate, dribble down, and increased his speed to the limit, inserting into the Knicks' inside line like a sharp blade. Jeremy Lin, who was defending him, could not stop him or keep up with his pace.
"The speed is too fast. Wouldn't his physical strength be reduced..."
Jeremy Lin was surprised and hurriedly chased Wu Feng.
The defensive players in the inside were already restrained by Wu Feng's teammates. After Wu Feng stepped into the three-second zone, he immediately soared into the air and rushed towards the basket like a sharp sword.
Wu Feng gritted his teeth and held the basketball with his right hand. Finally, he smashed the ball into the basket in a battle tiger style.
"Bang", very familiar, but such a shocking dunk appeared in front of the fans.
This is Wu Feng's fifth dunk in this game. Every dunk he dunk brings a visual feast to the fans.
The fans of the Phillips Arena were all excited and then screamed.
The fans were cheering and boiling. This was not only because Wu Feng's heavy dunk was too shocking, but also because Wu Feng's dunk completed, the Hawks had already tied the score.
91:91, with more than four minutes left in the last quarter, the Hawks finally tied the score.
"Drip" At this time, Knicks head coach Mike Woodson finally requested a timeout.
Mike Woodson was in a terrible mood at this time. At this time, there were only more than four minutes left in the last quarter.
However, with the Hawks' active defense and fighting, they actually tied the score. Therefore, when the Knicks players walked back to the rest area, their faces were gloomy and silent.
In contrast to the Knicks, the Eagles were in high morale at this time. At the same time, the team also cheered because they successfully caught up with the score.
When Wu Feng and five other players on the field returned to the rest area, the other bench players walked up to celebrate with their five teammates.
"Dear netizens, there are only four minutes and twenty-three seconds left before the end of the game. However, at this most critical moment, the Eagles have tied the score..." Ke Fan explained to the netizens in front of the computer.
At this moment, countless pairs of eyes around the world were quietly watching the situation in the Phillips Arena. The hearts of every fan were beating violently, and they were waiting in anxiety and tension, waiting for the final finale.
All those who are following this game know that after the timeout is over, the final victory time has arrived.
This short timeout ended in no time. The five main players from both sides returned to the court.
Neither side scored in the two attacks after the timeout. The Hawks didn't score until two minutes and forty-nine seconds left in the last quarter.
Wu Feng made a clever trick to cross Chen Cang, and faked Marvin Williams, but actually passed it to Cork Hinrich, who cut the basket, assisted the latter to make a layup.
93:91, the Hawks finally overtook the score again.
"Wow..." The fans of the Phillips Arena shouted. At this moment, no other words could describe their mood at this moment except excitement.
The Knicks attacked and the ball reached Cameron Anthony.
After "Melon" came to the frontcourt with the ball, he passed the ball to Jeremy Lin. Jeremy Lin tried several times to break through but failed to get rid of Wu Feng's defense, so he passed the ball to Landry Fields.
Marvin Williams suddenly took a snatch of Landry Fields. Unfortunately, the ball was hit by him and flew out of bounds.
There are still two minutes and thirty-seven seconds left in the fourth quarter.
The Knicks all run. In the end, Landry Fields sent the ball to Jeremy Lin. After Jeremy Lin received the ball, he jumped out of the three-point line and shot.
Wu Feng never expected Jeremy Lin to shoot so decisively. He shot as soon as he received the ball. So, he just made a blocking move with a conditioned reflex, but it did not affect Jeremy Lin's shooting.
The rapidly spinning basketball drew a graceful arc in the air and fell into the basket after two seconds of flight.
Jeremy Lin scored three-pointer and hit!
93:94, the Knicks once again took the lead by 1 point.
The Hawks quickly kicked off, but the Knicks used full-game pressing methods to make the ball pass after several passes and receives before crossing the center line.
With two minutes and twenty-one seconds left, the ball was handed to Wu Feng's hand. Wu Feng dribbled the ball horizontally to the top of the arc, which was directly opposite the basket.
Suddenly, Wu Feng threw the ball over the basket two meters away from the three-point line.
The ball flew vertically to the rebound, and was caught by Josh Smith, who was sprinting and jumping before hitting the rebound, and was poured into the basket with both hands.
95:94, the Hawks regained the lead.
After Josh Smith landed, he let out a powerful roar and slammed Wu Feng's chest to celebrate.
Under the tight defense of both sides, the two teams failed to succeed in several attacks.
Jeremy Lin missed a three-pointer. But Amare Stoudemire got the rebound and passed the ball to Jeremy Lin again.
After Jeremy Lin received the ball, he took another decisive move, and the Hawks players failed to make up for defense. The three-pointer finally hit.
95:97, the Knicks took a 2-point lead.
"Drip", Hawks head coach Larry Drew saw that the situation was not good, so he requested a timeout.
At this moment, the Eagles fans are all nervous. They even feel a sense of uneasiness and anxiety.
There is more than one minute left. The difference between the two teams is 2 points. The difference between the points is not big, but if you are not careful, you will fall to the bottom. Both sides must be careful, otherwise it will be in vain after working hard for so long.
"Guys, there are less than two minutes left before the end of the game..." Larry Drew said in a deep voice: "If we win tonight, we will take 2:0 to Madison Garden Arena, which will make us motivated and put a lot of pressure on them. So, we must hold our own home court, do you understand?"
"Understood."
After Larry Drew said, the team members seized the time to recover their strength.
Soon, the pause ended and the sound of the game starting sounded again.
After the Hawks sent the ball out, Wu Feng controlled the ball and wandered outside the three-point line, calmly looking for opportunities to attack, slowly consuming the remaining time, as if the side behind now was not them, and there was still a lot of time.
The fans were all anxious, wondering why Wu Feng continued to waste not much time.
Of course, no matter how anxious they are, they will not yell loudly. Because every Hawks fan is afraid that their voices will disturb the players on the court.
When the number on the twenty-four-second offensive timer became eight, Wu Feng finally made a move.
Wu Feng suddenly activated, and used his speed to break into the three-point line from the forty-five degrees outside the three-point line, and Jeremy Lin, who defended Wu Feng, could not stop him at all. Even though his speed was similar to his, his physical confrontation was much worse.
Wu Feng easily rushed to the inside of the Knicks and approached their basket.
At the critical moment, Amare Stoudemire, the inside core of the Knicks, made up for the position in time, blocking Wu Feng's way at the basket.
This time, Wu Feng still did not choose to avoid his forward for the time being, stepped straight into the penalty area, and exerted one foot while stepping into the penalty area, soaring into the sky.
"You dare to underestimate me."
"Ah..." Amare Stoudemire jumped up with a loud roar, raising his arms to block Wu Feng's shooting route.
