Before his rebirth, he had watched countless games. The atmosphere of the game did not fluctuate at all. He only felt that there were many people. But at this moment, not only did he feel that there were too many people, but it was also very big and noisy. The game had not yet begun, and the two teams were practicing in an orderly manner. More than 10,000 fans shouted Wall and Bill's names as the host's provocative words rose and fell.
"Don't be nervous. Relax. You'll get used to it in the future!”Calderón noticed that Tang Fei was looking around and thought that he was nervous, so he comforted him.
"Hehe, I'm not nervous. I'm just excited. I can't wait to go on stage!”Tang Fei sneered.
"Oh, good luck!" Calderon didn't say much and ran away.
It was impossible for Tang Fei not to be nervous at all. Compared to today, which was his first time facing so many fans, he was more or less a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, he had participated in many NBA games. Although the number of fans was different, he was used to it.
If I defeat them, will they call me MVP? He thought maliciously.
Unfortunately, his MVP dream had yet to begin. He was not qualified to enter the starting lineup for this game. He did not even know if he could get playing time, let alone the MVP dream.
The two teams finished their warm-ups and returned to their substitutes 'seats.
The starting lineup for this match was the same as the lineup for the previous match: José Calderón, Aldridge, Hardaway II, Quincy Asch, and veteran Pablo Prigioni.
The Wizards 'starting five were the backcourt double-shooter, Gortat, Porter, and Nene.
Both teams had two veterans and three young players, but in terms of strength, the Wizards had a clear advantage.
Wall had been the star of the team since he entered the league. After a few years of experience, he had become more and more stable. His statistics had also risen year by year. This year, he had even won a double-double for the first time.
An average of 18.3 points and 10.1 assists per game.
Wall had the advantage of being strong against the 30-year-old veteran Calderon.
The younger Bill was even better. He was bullying the older Prigioni, who was born in 1977.
Not to mention, the Wizards still had Nene, who was full of impact, and Gortat, who was experienced.
He did not know if Aldridge, a young man, could withstand their devastation.
Sure enough, from the beginning, Nene dunked in the penalty area. However, Calderon was careless with the ball, and Nene snatched it and sent it to Wall in the front field. The latter stopped and scored two points.
The Knicks were caught off guard in the first few seconds of the game.
4:0
. Fortunately, Hadavy II steadily hit the target and quickly stopped the bleeding.
4:2
. The pace of the two teams was not fast. They had been steadily attacking in the half court. The Knicks were good at positional offense because of Calderón's experienced and steady style. However, it was surprising that a genius with two young guns in the backfield would also play positional offense.
However, after two rounds, the Wizards stopped playing. Wall began to speed up the advance, and the two sides began to attack each other.
Although the Knicks were old and disabled this season, and there were a bunch of players whose contracts were about to expire and were not focused, as long as Calderon was on the field, they played very steadily most of the time.
Tang Fei had been staring intently at the court. In every offensive round of the Knicks, he was thinking about how to attack this ball, how to play that ball, and how to interpret the opponent's defense.
At the start of the match, he rarely had any distracting thoughts. Most of the time, he would ponder over the movements on the field. Therefore, he would always find a breakthrough to attack the paint on the court and rarely had to block and roll.
It was because of this habit of reading the defense that he was able to take to the offensive in NBPL games like a fish in water.
With only six minutes left in the first quarter, the score was 11:8, and the Knicks were closing in. Fisher seemed to have had enough of Quincy Ash's poor performance and brought him off. Unfortunately, Tang Fei's gaze toward the manager was ignored. The substitute was Jason Smith. The latter was a big white man who was 2.13 meters tall. Fisher seemed to be dissatisfied with the team's passive situation in the paint and was prepared to set up two towers to contain him.
This substitution was very effective and immediately had an immediate effect. Jason Smith put up a high pick-and-roll, and Hardaway immediately got rid of the defensive player and rushed into the penalty area for a layup. He also made a foul and added a penalty.
After Porter scored two points, Jason Smith received an assist from Calderón in the paint and made a layup.
However, the smooth offensive was like a flash in the pan, and the Knicks entered an endless cycle of hitting iron again.
Fisher once again made the decision to make a substitution. The old man Prigioni was replaced by Tang Fei.
There were still 03:35 seconds left in the first quarter, 13:16, and the Knicks were temporarily behind by three points.
"The Knicks have already suffered a 12-game losing streak. If they lose this game again, it will be the longest losing streak in the league this season.”
"Now the scores on both sides have entered a stalemate. The players on both sides are not feeling well and have failed to attack for several consecutive rounds.”
"Oh, the Knicks made a substitution. Number 9 Prigioni came off and replaced him with number 13.”
"He looks like an Asian!”
"Let me see the roster of the New York Knicks. Oh, this is the free agent they signed yesterday. He was born on December 6th, 1997. Wow, a very young player. His name was Fei Tang?
