Chapter 648: Promoted Again!

77:73! Hardaway Jr. used Kante's body as a cover and immediately returned a three-pointer! Such a counterattack made the Thunder team not easy to relax for a while. Both teams are feeling nervous about each other at the moment.

92:92! The Knicks finally fought with the Thunder! Such a state made the fans on the scene enthusiastic! The two sides are now in the final stages. At the end of the third quarter, some bench players were brought in.

Then there was a dramatic scene, and the Knicks' quick burst of points made the score directly tied at the end! The form of both teams is now back to a new point of improvement. But apparently the Thunder don't want to see that happen.

The Knicks replaced Beasley for Lance, who was already a bit overdrawn. Lance, who played three quarters, felt pretty good on his own, but he didn't want to continue to be cool......

The opponent's lineup has not changed, and the main players are back. Robertson was in good shape today, and the Knicks have made adjustments.

Hardaway Jr. carried the ball up front and passed it to Porzingis under the defence of Willis. Facing Kyle's defense, Porzingis suddenly deceived the opponent with a feint and hit a three-pointer not far from George! 95:92!

The fans at the scene immediately boiled after seeing it! Westbrook watched the Knicks slowly get to the front court after receiving a pass from Adams. He suddenly got up in front of Hardaway Jr. and then jumped next to Beasley and hit a 2-point shot! 95:94!

From Wei Shao's face, it could be seen that he was not in a good mood now. Maybe they haven't forgiven the team for not getting the rhythm right in the third quarter.

I have to say that after the Knicks shot and got the ball in the end, the morale of the Thunder team was somewhat affected. Jack dribbles to the front court and hits a three-point jumper from a step back in front of Robertson! 98:94!

With George's three-pointer gone, Kanter immediately picked up the rebound and passed the ball to Jack. The latter's speed made Wei Shao immediately alert. But the other Thunder players didn't realize it so quickly! Hardaway Jr. and Jack quickly passed the half-court, and Jack saw that Hardaway came over immediately and passed the ball directly to Hardaway Jr.! The latter jumped up and hit a three-point shot! 101:94!

Wei Shao was going to be angry at this time...... Thunder coach Billy asked for a timeout. Westbrook held his hands on his hips for a good five seconds before walking slowly. At this point, he already had some bad feelings.

Indeed, the first task of a team like the Knicks is to wipe out their advantage in front! The Thunder didn't do that in the previous game today, though.

"Defensively, you have to work harder. For a while, the game took a full-court pressing defense. On the offensive point, Westbrook, George, Adams. Don't let your guard down on the Knicks. Do more finely handling the ball......"

The current Thunder team is a different team than it was in the first quarter. The players are not as "angry" as they were at the beginning. The current silence made Wei Shao more uncomfortable, and Pickled Pepper also felt a little wrong, but he just listened carefully to the coach's arrangement. At the same time, I believe that the opponent will not be so easy to win the game in this game!

Back on the field, the camera focused on Westbrook, and the sound of the scene suddenly became chaotic. There are shouts to cheer for the thunder. There is also a certain amount of boos mixed in.

Westbrook jumped straight to the front court and didn't have a three-point jump! Porzingis got the basketball and immediately passed the ball to Beasley. The latter didn't hit a three-point shot after reaching the frontcourt. Porzingis suddenly violently dunked and scored after getting the basketball next to the Thunder players! 103:94!

The difference has been stretched to 9 points! George dribbled the ball to the front court alone, passed Beasley, forced a shot in front of Porzingis, hit the basketball, and allowed the defender to receive a foul before successfully playing 2+1! 103:97!

Both teams are not small defensively at the moment, but it is clear that the Knicks are a little weaker than the other team. Jack crossed the half, Kante got Jack's pass and dunked to score! 105:97!

Westbrook took Robertson's pass and immediately jumped into the net with a three-point shot! 105:100!

......

"So, I want to ask which team do you think has a better chance of beating the Thunder between the Nets and the Knicks?" After the reporter asked, many reporters laughed in their hearts. There are also some reporters who feel that why they have not thought of this question?

"First of all, there is no comparison. At that time, the Thunder was only Westbrook, and of course Kanter was also very good haha~" Chen said this, and immediately glanced at Kanter, who was sitting not far away, and smiled.

"In the beginning, not only did we not understand the Thunder's tactics, but we also didn't understand how far such a lineup would go. Ha, this Brooklyn lineup of the year is no longer there. I still remember that game, we lost a couple of games. That game was really a fight with the Thunder. ”

Chen reminisced about the double overtime battle of the year while talking about his thoughts.

"Kante was with the Thunder. So there should still be some comparability, right? I mean, the current Thunder team has two people, Pickled Pepper and Wei Shao. ”

"I don't know how Kante would feel about that, but I think I can still say it. Kanter had just joined the NBA, so some of his games were still a bit green. But look at this guy now, what do you say. His performance was worthy of the salary he was given. Nothing wrong with it, right? Canter? ”

Chen's eyes immediately fell on Kante. The latter just smiled modestly and didn't say anything. He's actually feeling more tired right now. Adams didn't relax in the slightest, and his nerves were tense until the last minute of the game!

"So at this time, the Thunder team focused on the strength of the front line, and at that time, Wei Shao, as a guard, was more important. But in today's game, the Knicks players played well, and it was true. ”

After Chen said this, it was obvious that the reporter's face showed some disappointment. I guess what other questions I am thinking about now can make today's report richer in content.

After the game, the Knicks players and coaches were thinking about their own things. Many of them are already showing a certain amount of fatigue. But today's reporters are excited. After the press conference, many players left the stadium directly.

Some of the overexperienced ones, such as Beasley and some players on the bench, are thinking about where to play at night~ Chen smiled and declined their invitation, I really didn't have that interest tonight...... The tense nerves relaxed only at the last moment.

119:118! The Knicks narrowly beat the Oklahoma City Thunder by 1 point!

In this game, Adams got 12 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists! Kyle had 7 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, and George had 28 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists! Robertson had 15 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists, and Westbrook had 37 points, 12 rebounds and 9 assists!

It can be said that Wei Shao fought hard in this game! Just 1 assist away from another triple-double! But even with such a performance, he and Pickled Pepper teamed up to score 65 points and didn't win the game! After halftime, the Thunder were somewhat relaxed in their mentality and performance at that time.

It was these relaxations that allowed the Knicks to quickly fight back!

Knicks, Kanter, 16 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists! Porzingis 26 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists! Lance 11 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists! Jack 11 points, 3 rebounds and 10 assists! Hardaway Jr. 23 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists!

The combination of N'Golo Kante, Porzingis and Jack made tonight's attack more efficient! Hardaway Jr. didn't hold the team back when it came to scoring. Beasley's appearances at some times can still play a certain role in breaking out!

In this way, the Knicks will have their eighth consecutive win after this game! Their performance also directly allowed the team to rush all the way to the second place position in the East!

At the top of the Eastern Conference are still the Green Shirts! The Cavaliers have now recovered somewhat. They have now moved up from 9th to 6th in the East. The Knicks are embarking on an road trip.
