Chapter 273 Three wins against the 76ers(1/2)
Chapter 273 Three Wins 76
As Wu Feng's physical strength became less and less, his role in both offense and defense was immediately discounted.
The Magic's outside line suddenly lost its backbone and missed several consecutive shots. Dwight Howard's inside line was unable to open up the situation for a long time. The 76ers took the opportunity to score a 8:4 small **, which has expanded the gap to 9 points.
Stan Van Gundy called a timeout, and the sluggish outside line was not unexpected that the two hardest steel knives on the outside line had now lost their level.
After thinking about it, Stan Van Gundy still had no good idea in his mind, and he had to send all the main players. The best result was naturally to overtake the score and then win the game.
However, this will be a great test for Wu Feng's physical strength. Fortunately, as long as they win this game and win another game, they can get adjustments for a long time.
After the timeout, the Magic sent out the strongest lineup, and the so-called main lineup may not be the strongest lineup. Nazel Mohammed's performance in the inside was still stable during this period, and there was no major ups and downs in his condition, especially when he cooperated with Dwight Howard's double towers in the inside, he was like fish in water. His existence was to help Dwight Howard reduce pressure and allow him to perform better.
Wu Feng held the ball and attacked the inside, but unfortunately Andres Nosioni was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, and Zhu Holiday, who was watching the dantian on the side, seemed to be treated as double-teaming.
"Bang", Wu Feng was in a 180-degree circle, but the ball was pressed down heavily in an instant, and the fierce force made the ball hit the floor and bounced up quickly, just flew through the gap between the two defensive players.
A figure appeared like lightning on the ball's flight route. After Gerald Wallace received the ball, he decisively made a shot.
97:104, the Magic narrowed the gap to seven points.
Zhu Holiday made a mistake in passing. After Wu Feng cut the ball, he quickly penetrated into the 76ers' half.
Vince Carter has a tacit understanding of running, but Andre Iguodala obviously doesn't want to give him a chance.
After studying the videos of the Magic's first two playoff games, Doug Collins found that Wu Feng took advantage of the opponent's mistakes and launched a fast break with excellent ability and accurate grasp of the timing.
The most tacit understanding of the fast attack tactics he cooperated with was at least 70% of Vince Carter, so he was careful when arranging the third game.
Andres Nosioni wants to assist in defense of Wu Feng, so he naturally cannot defend Vince Carter with all his strength. But now, if you change to Andre Iguodala, who is better than Vince Carter in terms of physical strength and speed, the effect will naturally be different.
Seeing that Wu Feng was about to rush into the free throw line, Andre Iguodala gave up Vince Carter helplessly and appeared in front of Wu Feng.
"Squeak", Wu Feng stopped suddenly during the high-speed movement, and his steps did not slide at all. His upper body leaned forward slightly, and he forced his waist to twist without hindering the next movement. He almost passed through Andre Iguodala.
The instant stagnation made Andres Nossioni follow up in time. In fact, with Wu Feng's actions just now, as long as Andres Nossioni hit him slightly from the right, it would be difficult for Wu Feng to save the ball, but he didn't do that, but instead decisively Wu Feng stepped past him.
Wu Feng was very happy. His left toe stepped onto the ground, and his elbows firmly stuck Andre Iguodala. Wu Feng felt that his breakthrough was successful in all of this.
Unfortunately, he did not have a perspective. Wu Feng, whose center of gravity was slightly sinking, could not observe the situation behind Andre Iguodala. He quickly stepped out with his right foot. Just now, only Andre Iguodala was in the 76ers' basket, and now he must be very safe.
My feet finally felt firm, but they didn't feel down to earth at all. However, the huge inertia made him unable to make other moves.
The keen perception made Wu Feng feel dangerous. At the moment of his body tilting and trying his best to recover his footsteps, but his entire body fell down at a faster speed. With his current position and posture, once Wu Feng fell to the ground, it would be difficult to have any good situations.
Many female fans who supported Wu Feng had already covered their eyes in fright, unable to bear to see the tragedy in front of them.
As the tragedy was about to happen, Dwight Howard grabbed Wu Feng's shoulder at the moment when Wu Feng was about to fall to the ground.
"Hu..." Almost all the fans of the audience took a deep breath, and the tightly hung heart finally let go.
But the matter was not over. Dwight Howard, who was in a hot temper, had already rushed towards Andres Nossioni with his fists.
Wu Feng, who had just escaped, saw Dwight Howard's movements, quickly stepped forward and hugged him, and roared in his ear: "Dwight, calm down, it's the game now. No matter what the situation is, as long as you take action, there will be no good results."
"Dwight, we need you. If you do this, you will definitely be expelled. Think about the boss and why we have fought until now." Wu Feng almost roared in his ear.
Dwight Howard was so angry at his comfort, which surprised Wu Feng and was very moved. However, he also knew that once he let go, the consequences would become more and more serious. In the past two years, the league has been punishing violent behavior on the court.
Perhaps Wu Feng's words played an important role. Dwight Howard's struggle was getting smaller and smaller, and he finally put down his clenched fists.
The referee had already rushed over. Looking at Dwight Howard's actions, he was worried that the escalation of the incident would be finally resolved by Wu Feng. So his invisible favor for Wu Feng suddenly increased. When he was under such a serious threat, he could still maintain such a calm attitude and try his best to prevent the escalation of the incident. This is very rare for a player.
"Drip", the referee's decision was not hesitant at all, and gave Andres Noscioni a technical foul.
Stan Van Gundy quickly called a pause. The incident just now happened too suddenly and he had no time to stop it. Fortunately, the situation did not appear to be the situation he was worried about, but he still called a pause decisively. He was still very worried about Wu Feng's situation.
"Swish", the storm just now did not affect Wu Feng's free throw.
98:104, the Magic were only 6 points behind.
Now there are two minutes and thirty-two seconds left before the end of the game, and the Magic have a full hope of turning the defeat around.
The 76ers' offense was fruitless. Wu Feng took advantage of the chaos to grab the defensive rebounds and then ran towards the 76ers' halftime.
"Swish", Wu Feng's layup made another layup help the Magic recover two points.
100:104, four points, only four points behind.
The Magic fans at the scene immediately cheered loudly for the team they supported and gave the players the warmest support. But soon, their support voice was drowned out by the home fans.
Ju Holiday finally showed the value of a starting point guard. After rushing into the Magic's penalty area, he did not force the ball recklessly, but passed the ball behind the ground. The ball was passed to Andres Nossioni who was heading out of the arc, and the latter rose directly from outside the three-point line.
With a "swish", Zhu Holiday's pass turned into an assist.
Andres Nossioni's previous malicious foul also made the referee pay attention, and it seemed to have a little tilt in the judgment scale.
Wu Feng broke through with the ball and entered the three-point line. After entering the three-point line, Andres Nossioni intercepted the ball and was uttered a defensive foul by the referee, giving Wu Feng another chance to get the free throw.
Doug Collins called a timeout helplessly, with only one minute and forty-three seconds left in the game. Wu Feng's previous three-pointer made the Magic fall behind by 103:107. If Wu Feng scored all these free throws, the 76ers' lead would only have two points.
In the last few minutes of the fourth quarter, defense became the theme of the landlord of the game, and the shooting percentage of both sides became very low. Even Wu Feng, under the care of his opponent, his shooting percentage was not very high, at least not as high as usual.
Stan Van Gundy's face became very serious. In fact, his heart had already begun to play. When the game reached this level, all the cards that both sides could play had been lit up, and their physical strength was almost at their limit. What was left might be spiritual confrontation, and their persistence in victory determined the final winner.
His trembling body and his mind were a little drowsy. The staff's massage could not eliminate physical fatigue at all. Wu Feng even collapsed on the chair and didn't want to move.
This game is a high-quality game, both sides have almost given their own all, and what determines the outcome will be the will of both sides and their persistence in victory.
The 76ers' lineup has been adjusted. The five players who played are: center Spencer Hawys, power forward Seidis Young, small forward Andre Iguodala, shooting guard Andres Nosioni, and organizational defender Ju Holiday.
The Magic still relies on their starting lineup.
"Swish, Swish", although there was not much energy left, Wu Feng still hit these two crucial free throws.
105:107, two more points.
The 76ers serve at the bottom line, Ju Holiday and Andre Iguodala rely on their own speed to run in the Magic's half, allowing the Magic's defenders to lose sight of the other.
However, they did not dare to be careless at all. In order to maintain their weak advantage, the Magic have shown unprecedented determination in defense.
According to the Magic's main players, the minimum playing time was twenty-five minutes, and their tired expressions were visible at a glance, but looking at their actions in defense, they seemed to be unaffected. Zhu Holiday and Andre Iguodala ran in the half, constantly rushing to the basket, pick-and-rolling and interspersed, but Wu Feng and Gerald Wallace always arrived at the first time like their shadows.
Seeing the time pass by little by little, Andres Nosioni had to quickly hand the ball to Sadies Yang in the frontcourt. Unfortunately, Sadies Yang was only near the free throw line, and the attack power could be imagined. He kept rushing to the basket, but Dwight Howard naturally would not give him a chance. He held Sadies Yang's ribs tightly with his right elbow, and used his rich experience to feel the changes in Sadies Yang's body and the direction of shaking, resolving Sadies Yang's fake moves again and again.
The beads of sweat as big as beans fell on the floor from Sadies-Yang's forehead, and his expression seemed very anxious, and his eyes were also scattered.
At the real critical moment, Sadison Young's psychological tolerance was not so strong.
Andre Iguodala used the cover of Sedis Yang and quickly penetrated into the inside from his side.
Saidis Yang was delighted, and the ball was gently lifted to the back of Dwight Howard. Andre Iguodalaca, who walked into the three-second zone, received the ball well. Facing Nazel Mohammed's defensive basket, he turned around in the air and closed the defense, and scored the basket.
"Drip", the referee's whistle suddenly sounded, and everyone was puzzled by this whistle. Andre Iguodala's movements were very relaxed, and there was no contact with Nazel Mohammed at all.
Facing everyone's puzzled eyes, the referee signaled Nazel Mohamed to defend for three seconds.
Regarding the penalty for playoffs, the referee trio has a very strict grasp of the penalty standards, and no obvious loophole will be left in any penalty.
Through the live video, it was indeed when Andre Iguodala rushed into the basket, his foot had already stepped into the three-second zone, and he never took a step until Andre Iguodala's shot.
The score counts, adds one free throw, and the result of 2+1 makes Magic fans feel extremely frustrated.
Andre Iguodala's free throw hit made even worse. With one minute and eighteen seconds left in the game, the 76ers used the free throw to expand the score.
At this time, there was only one time-out time left in the coaches of both sides. Stan Van Gundy cherished this time-out, and the five players on the court were his greatest hope at this time. Doug Collins naturally would not suspend the Magic at this time.
Wu Feng quickly appeared outside the three-point line with the ball in control, and the 76ers players suddenly became nervous.
After these three games, Andres Nosioni's defensive restriction on Wu Feng was getting smaller and smaller, which forced Doug Collins to take turns to defend against him with three outside players.
Most of the time during the game, he also adopted the double-team tactic, but this seemed to stimulate his performance. His accurate hits and exquisite passes were humiliated by the 76ers' defense again and again.
33 points are Wu Feng’s score so far. For such a dangerous player, the 76ers naturally cannot let him go in his halftime.
In addition to Andres Nosioni who kept interfering in front of him, Ju Holiday quickly made up and formed a double-team for Wu Feng. Only the narrow gap in the middle was left, and Wu Feng could not cross it at all. Even if he successfully squeezed away the two of them, Andre Iguodala, who was waiting for the battle on the other side, would quickly appear in front of him.
"Dwight..." Wu Feng's body suddenly raised, and the roar from his mouth shocked the defensive players of the 76ers.
Wu Feng actually stabilized the rising trend of his body and suddenly sank. The force in his body burst out instantly, forcibly rushing through the gap between the two.
The huge force made the two of them take several steps involuntarily. Wu Feng took a tight step and passed through the middle of them. The whole person then stepped into the air. His body flew for a long distance in the air, and the ball shot steadily in the air.
"Swish", the ball fell steadily into the Nets, and the crisp sound made the entire Vocovia Arena suddenly unstable.
With 47.8 seconds left, the Magic team chased the score to 107:110.
The Magic kept using the urgent half-time defense in the fourth quarter. Wu Feng's sudden goal of the whole game made Zhu Holiday surprised. As the half-time was about to pass, Wu Feng quickly passed by him and the ball was taken away by him.
Zhu Holiday's return to defense was too late. Nazel Mohamed had already received a pass from Wu Feng at halftime, and quickly took two steps. He jumped up easily outside the three-second zone and scored with both hands.
109:110, the 76ers only had one point lead, which made Doug Collins finally unable to sit still and called a timeout decisively.
After the game started again, fans of the Vocovia Arena stood up together, cheering for the team again and again, hoping that their heroes would create miracles again.
Under Wu Feng's full-game defense, the 76ers almost passed half of the game in eight seconds. Zhu Holiday quickly divided the ball. Unexpectedly, Wu Feng's sudden strengthening of defense actually made him feel like he was about to suffocate. The ball was passed, and a big stone seemed to be put down in his heart.
After Andre Iguodala received the ball, he quickly advanced to the inside. Under his impact, the Magic's defense line continued to compress to the inside.
Andre Iguodala's forced layup was very beautiful, with a graceful and elegant movement, and her waist twisting in the air completely avoided Dwight Howard's defense.
As the ball was about to enter the basket, a white palm suddenly appeared on the right side and the ball was stolen hard.
"Wu..." Magic fans immediately cheered.
