But the firm belief in his heart kept Chen Feng gritting his teeth.
"He must not be allowed to dunk this ball in, otherwise..."
Chen Feng no longer had too much energy to pay attention to other details, and it seemed that only the orange basketball was left in his eyes.
In the end, Chen Feng almost lost control of his body. But the remaining faith in his heart still made him stretch out his right hand.
"Pop", although the sound was very low, both Chen Feng and Chandler, the other party involved, heard the sound.
"Uh..." An indescribable pain awakened Chen Feng's somewhat vague thoughts.
Although Chen Feng fell from the air, although his whole body was sore and exhausted, a smile did appear on his face.
Because, he successfully blocked Chandler's dunk. Although this block was not earth-shattering, it was still priceless.
"Bang bang", Chandler's powerful dunk was blocked by Chen Feng with all his strength. Although the block was not strong, the ball still hit the front of the backboard. The huge rebound force also knocked the money back.
Dele bounced backwards.
The somewhat cold floor completely awakened Chen Feng's consciousness. Although his physical strength was basically exhausted, he still gritted his teeth and got up.
But it was a bit difficult for him to start running again.
The dunked basketball was snatched away by Leonard, and then he and McGrady raced towards the Knicks half court.
There is not much time left, and they are still 4 points behind. Therefore, they must score a goal in a short period of time, and then let the Knicks score another goal to have a chance of comeback.
McGrady covered Leonard, and Leonard successfully got rid of Carmelo Anthony's defense and rushed towards the basket.
Leonard is extremely desperate now. He has seen with his own eyes Chen Feng's persistence and how he has tried his best to win the game for the team.
But now, he can't let Chen Feng down, he wants to score this goal. Let Chen Feng's efforts not be in vain.
As Leonard broke through Carmelo Anthony's defense, 'Little Bully' Amare Stoudemire stepped up and stood in front of Kawhi Leonard.
Time is running out, there are only the last twenty-six seconds left.
Facing Amare Stoudemire's defense, Leonard showed no fear at all. He turned around and blocked him behind him.
But at this time, the Knicks still had Chandler, who was 2.13 meters tall, standing under the basket.
Leonard looked solemn. Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows and passed the ball. The ball passed under Chandler's crotch.
"It's so exciting, this pass is so beautiful." Xu Jiping from the imperial court commented.
The person who received the pass from Leonard was not Derrick Favors, but McGrady.
Derrick Favors had already been promoted to a high position in order to help Tracy McGrady with the banquet.
At this time, McGrady was completely open, and even if Chandler turned around to block the shot, it was too late.
After McGrady received Leonard's pass, he pursed his lips and forcefully took off. After reacting, Chandler quickly turned around and jumped up to block McGrady.
But although McGrady's jumping ability has declined, his physical fitness has also recovered a lot. Even though McGrady is over 30 years old, his explosive power can still allow him to make some moves that he couldn't do last season.
What's more, McGrady and others are working hard now and don't want Chen Feng's previous efforts to go to waste.
"Ah..." the former two-time scoring champion roared, using all his strength to dunk the ball toward the basket.
Chandler also stretched out his hand to block the ball in McGrady's hand.
However, McGrady made a change and Chandler did not block the ball. Instead, it hit McGrady's hand.
Regardless of whether the goal is scored or not, Chandler will not be able to escape due to this defensive foul.
But of course, after the referee observed Chandler's defensive foul, he immediately blew the whistle.
"Dip", Chen Feng, who was still standing in the Knicks half court, laughed.
He knew that McGrady already had a chance to play two plus one.
Now, after a short rest, he is able to run a little.
However, he is still standing where he is. Taking advantage of this free throw opportunity, he can rest for a while.
"Bang," McGrady's earth-shattering dunk was staged at Madison Garden Arena.
It's not like New Yorkers haven't seen McGrady's dunks, but what they didn't expect was that the 34-year-old McGrady still has such strong explosive power and can actually dunk like this.
After successfully dunking, McGrady first turned around and glanced at Chen Feng, giving him a reassuring look, and then high-fived his teammates one by one.
Then, McGrady stepped to the free throw line.
McGrady didn't jump too high for this ball, but he had so much experience in dunking that he changed the direction of his dunk in the air and then smashed the ball in!
Taking a deep breath, McGrady knew that this free throw must be made. In this case, he would only be 1 point behind the Knicks.
Now, the score on the court is 124:122.
Knicks head coach Woodson is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Seeing that the cooked duck is about to fly away, he can stop being anxious.
But now the Knicks have no chance to call a timeout, and he can no longer use the timeout to set up tactics.
"Wow", McGrady's free throw was very stable, so stable that it made Chen Feng and others laugh, and it was so stable that Woodson and others turned black.
Since the Knicks have no chance to request a timeout, they must serve from the backcourt.
However, this result made them a little happy, because in this way, they could delay the process for a while.
Although the Spurs have narrowed the point difference to 1 point, in the final analysis, the Knicks still hold a 1-point lead.
And there are only the last twenty-three seconds left, so the Knicks must use up the time until the last moment.
Although the San Antonio people implemented a full-court pressing defense, they were unable to force the New Yorkers to make mistakes.
Felton dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. At this moment, there were only seventeen seconds left before the end of the game.
Chen Feng gritted his teeth and rushed in front of Felton.
"I didn't expect this guy to still have physical strength." Felton was very surprised.
Although Chen Feng looked out of breath and seemed to have no strength at all, Felton still felt Chen Feng's strong oppression.
For safety reasons, Felton passed the ball to team boss Carmelo Anthony.
At this time, there are only the last 9 seconds left.
Everyone knows the Knicks are trying to stall for time, especially San Antonio.
So, with five seconds left on the clock, Leonard rushed forward and used a foul tactic on Carmelo Anthony, and this foul tactic was also approved by Vicki.
For **Vicci, he is very pleased that the team can play like this! Duncan, Ginobili and Parker are just soy sauce and basically don't play much, but the performance of these young guys
Resilience still makes people feel excited.
Carmelo Anthony walked to the free throw line, and Chen Feng saw Vicki waving to him and walked over.
"How about it? How about letting Patty replace you?" **Vicci asked Chen Feng with concern.
Chen Feng shook his head and said: "No need, I can still hold on."
Seeing Chen Feng's firm eyes, **Vicci also understood. So, he said to Chen Feng: "Sit down and take a rest. I will call a timeout later."
After listening to **Vicci's words, Chen Feng nodded.
What worries San Antonio people is that Carmelo Anthony made two free throws. In other words, they are now 3 points behind the Knicks, and in the next five seconds, they must make a three-pointer.
Moreover, even if they made this three-pointer, the game would only enter overtime.
**Vicci called a timeout, which was only twenty seconds long.
After twenty seconds, the game continues.
No one knows what kind of tactics the Spurs have deployed, and no one knows who will take the last shot of the Spurs.
The person in charge of serving the ball from the sideline is actually Favors, and all four players on the court are forwards and defenders, namely Leonard, McGrady, Mills and Chen Feng.
"Zizzizi", after a short rest, Chen Feng once again made Felton sigh at his tenacity.
Chen Feng spent a lot of energy to speed up and get rid of Felton, and then received Favors' serve near the midfield.
After receiving the ball, Chen Feng did not stop for a moment and chose to break through directly.
When he came outside the three-point line, all the Knicks players became nervous.
Although Chen Feng's physical strength has been almost exhausted, no one will ignore Chen Feng's three-point ability. So far this season, Chen Feng's three-point shooting rate has remained at around 50%, and the shooting rate is frighteningly high.
In terms of hit rate alone, Chen Feng has surpassed everyone. Chen Feng has the capital to be proud of.
The Knicks players saw Chen Feng coming outside the three-point line and quickly came to double-team him. Felton and Amar'e Stoudemire quickly blocked Chen Feng's sight, preventing him from taking action.
The remaining three players of the Knicks are also guarding Mills, McGrady and Leonard. Favors is naturally free.
If it were any other team, the Knicks' defensive strategy would be correct. But when it comes to the Spurs, their defensive strategy would be wrong.
**The reason why Veach kept Derrick Favors was naturally because of his considerations.
Favors is a strong big man with a good mid-range shot, but few people know that this guy likes to practice three-pointers with guards on weekdays.
This is the effort of Favors, and it is also the sorrow of the current inside players. If not, they may not have much room for survival, and this can also be used as a trump card. (To be continued...)
