Chapter 275 Promotion is in sight
The Magic's fourth game against the Sixers started at 7:00 pm.
After grinding with the 76ers head coach, Stan Van Gundy also seized the last time to motivate the players.
Stan Van Gundy said to Wu Feng and others excitedly: "Although we have won three games in a row, everyone must not be proud. In this game, we must do our best to defeat our opponents. As long as we stick to our playing style, work hard on defense, and limit Iguodala's performance, we will definitely win this game later."
"Okay!" Dwight Howard responded loudly, and under his leadership, the other players were also excited.
In this game, the five starting players of the 76ers were: center Tony Barty, power forward Elton Brand, small forward Andre Iguodala, shooting guard Evan Turner, and organizational defender Ju Holiday.
The Magic's starting lineup is: center Dwight Howard, power forward Brandon Bass, small forward Gerald Wallace, shooting guard Vince Carter, point guard Derek Ross
Dwight Howard's superhuman bounce made him get in touch with basketball first. He moved the basketball to his teammates, and Wu Feng quickly protected the ball.
The Magic's first offense was a little impatient. Vince Carter just received a pass from Wu Feng and shot from mid-range, but failed to hit.
Second-tier Evan Turner took the backcourt rebound and quickly passed the ball to Ju Holiday, who began to organize the Sixers' offense.
The 76ers' first offense was handed to the "captain" in the inside. Elton Brand attacked Brandon Bass at the basket, and turned around and squeezed away Brandon Bass, winning the opportunity to take action.
But unfortunately, the basketball bounced out of the basket and Dwight Howard stuck Tony Barty and took the defensive rebound.
At this time, Wu Feng had already extended the sideline and rushed towards the opponent's half. At this time, there was no one around him. Vince Carter was happy when he saw this, and he moved his heart and the ball quickly passed out.
Unfortunately, he only noticed Wu Feng's side, but he didn't pay much attention to the situation around him. At the moment the ball shot, a black shadow floated past his eyes like a whirlwind.
Evan Turner touched the ball with his fingertips and changed the ball's forward route. However, at his speed, he naturally couldn't catch up with the high-speed basketball. He could only watch him fly out of the sideline, but no matter what, it always destroyed the Magic's chance of a fast break.
This game may be the last game for the 76ers. So in this game, they played very fiercely, whether it was offense or defense, they were much more fierce than in the first three games.
Magic's ball rights.
After Vince Carter received the serve from the sideline, he organized the team's offense.
Seeing the time pass by, Vince Carter still passes the ball to Dwight Howard.
At this time, Wu Feng was hanging a tail behind him, and Ju Holiday was chasing him. When he was free throws on the sideline, Vince Carter wanted to hand the ball to him several times, but they were all disturbed by Ju Holiday.
Wu Feng directly penetrated from the bottom line into the inside line. After nearly a year of tacit understanding, when Wu Feng got into the basket, Dwight Howard used his body as a cover to hand the ball to Wu Feng's hand, and he quickly turned around and stuck Elton Brand's position tightly.
Without any hesitation, Wu Feng jumped gently against Elton Brand's back, his entire upper body tilted slightly in the air, his wrist shaking gently, and the ball inserted into the basket.
"Swish" the crisp sound of the net made Elton Brand turn around in confusion. He didn't react at all when the ball was in Wu Feng's hands.
Although Zhu Holiday's follower was very tight, Wu Feng still used his cooperation with his teammates to complete the attack.
Zhu Holiday used Evan Turner as a wall to get rid of Wu Feng, and made a lightning breakthrough, leading Dwight Howard into the inside and forced a layup against Brandon Bass.
"Bang, bang, bang..." The ball bounced gently on the ring a few times, and finally fell into the basket.
The referee's whistle also rang out, and Brandon Bass's foul gave Ju Holiday a 2+1 chance.
Zhu Holiday naturally won't miss the chance to score 2+1, and the free throw is hollowed out into the net.
The fans of the Vocovia Arena worked hard to cheer for the home team, and the momentum was so great that Wu Feng was a little moved.
"In this game, the 76ers should have fought against each other. So, at the beginning, they fought so fiercely."
When Wu Feng received the pass from his teammate, he did not quickly break through the half, but allowed his teammates to penetrate into the opponent's lineup like a tide.
Wu Feng broke through and passed the ball, Andre Iguodala turned around and tried to break the basketball, but failed.
Wu Feng either does not pass the ball and attacks by himself, or his passes are always famous for being fast, accurate and ruthless. When teammates have an opportunity to get a gap, Wu Feng's passes always appear in their hands at the first time. Super penetration is a major feature of Wu Feng's passing.
He seems to be able to find the opponent's weak defense, and a stable pass is the foundation for Wu Feng to gain a foothold. As long as his teammates do not make any extraordinary moves, it is difficult for Wu Feng to make mistakes in his pass.
"Swish" at the bottom line on the other side, Gerald Wallace made a jump shot.
"Swish" Dwight Howard took a step back at the basket and turned around and made a jump shot, which was more crazy than the previous few games. At the beginning of this game, Wu Feng obviously focused more on organizing the offense.
With 6 minutes and 18 seconds left in the game, the Magic took a five-point advantage with 14:9, and Doug Collins called a timeout helplessly.
In order to suppress Wu Feng's crazy scoring in the last round, he sent the best one-on-one defense player in the team at the beginning of the game. However, Wu Feng avoided the important points and repeatedly created opportunities for his teammates to score, especially Gerald Wallace, who hit two three-pointers in the half-quarter.
The timeout ends and the game continues.
The game started again, and Evan Turner started a fierce attack after receiving the ball.
His opponent was Vince Carter. After a brief physical contact, Vince Carter retreated several steps in a row. Evan Turner quickly took a step left and made a three-pointer.
Just three minutes later, the Magic tasted the helplessness of the 76ers just now. Evan Turner used his excellent impact to play through the outside line, making three shots, including a three-pointer. After one man scored seven points in a row, he helped the 76ers tie the score.
In desperation, Gerald Wallace misaligned defense to curb Evan Turner's madness. In the first quarter, the two sides played 27-27, 76ers' Evan Turner, scoring 9 points.
When Vince Carter returned to the bench, he looked very tired. Although he was in good shape this season, the cruel reality told him that he was 33 years old and no longer the "half-man and half-god" who could run all over the field.
Therefore, after the start of the second quarter, Stan Van Gundy made a re-adjustment to the lineup, jj Redick replaced Vince Carter, and Ryan Anderson replaced Brandon Bass.
"Clang", Elton Brand grabbed Ryan Anderson's defensive loophole and made a powerful dunk at the basket.
Wu Feng quickly led the ball through halftime, and at this time it was Zhu Holiday who defended Wu Feng.
Zhu Holiday's speed is also at the forefront in the league. The continuous changes of direction were destroyed by Zhu Holiday. However, in the high-speed dribble, Wu Feng's eyes saw the opponent's position clearly. With a back turned around, the ball quickly flew to the 45th degree angle of the right wing.
jj-Redick quickly caught the ball and jumped. Before the ball could be taken, he was grabbed from mid-air.
jj Redick's ball just now was handled very badly. When Wu Feng's ball was passed, he did not take the initiative to catch the ball, but waited for the ball to fly to his side. In this way, Andre Iguodala, who was several steps away from him, had enough time to make up for defense, but when shooting, he did not notice that there was an opponent's player on his side, and the ball in his hands was not protected enough, which led to such a scene that made Magic fans sigh.
Ju Holiday made a basket pick.
After the start of the second quarter, the Magic's offense suddenly fell silent, missed five consecutive shots, and even Wu Feng's open mid-range shot hit the basket. On the contrary, the 76ers relied on repeated impacts to make the data on the electronic board jump continuously.
"There is a problem with the Magic's offense. At this time, Wu Feng should actually try more attacks. The 76ers players cannot stop him at all. As the core player of the team, they must play the role of the core player at such a time." A fan sighed helplessly as he watched the game on the court.
34:27, looking at the dazzling score, Wu Feng was extremely calm. Looking at the coach's trusted eyes and the players' expectant eyes, he knew what he should do.
Zhu Holiday, who was defending closely, seemed to feel Wu Feng's changes and looked at him in confusion. On his cold handsome face, sweat was shining abnormally under the light. The basketball that kept jumping to Wu Feng's right seemed to remind him.
A black shadow floated past Zhu Holiday's eyes. When Zhu Holiday turned around and observed, Wu Feng had quickly escaped him and quickly penetrated into the inside of the 76ers.
jj-Redick seemed to understand Wu Feng's intention. The ball was not stuck in his hand and passed it as soon as he got it.
Looking at the direction of the ball flying, Zhu Holiday also woke up, but seeing Wu Feng who had reached the free throw line, he knew that he had made a mistake that should not be underestimated, which actually allowed Wu Feng to get rid of his defense so easily.
"Swish", through Dwight Howard's body, Wu Feng threw the ball directly into the basket. The excellent feel allowed Wu Feng to choose a variety of shooting methods as he pleased.
Wu Feng scored a free throw and made a free throw.
"Clang", the basket finally rejected Louis Williams, who had made four shots on the bench.
After Louis Williams came on the court, the Magic players suffered a lot. However, this time, the mid-range shot was interfered with JJ Redick, and the force of the shooting seemed to be a little stronger. The ball hit the back edge of the rebound and bounced high. The four inside players under the basket were all showing their solid positioning ability, and they could not easily jump.
The moment the ball shot, Louis Williams seemed to have a premonition that the ball would not enter. As soon as the person landed, he quickly rushed into the inside line, helping Elton Brand to block Wu Feng's position.
Elton Brand quickly soared into the air towards the basketball. The basketball kept magnifying in his eyes. As the ball was about to be obtained, a black shadow quickly floated past his eyes, and the basketball in the air did not fly.
As the party involved, due to the special circumstances at that time, he naturally could not understand what happened. However, more than 10,000 Magic fans were surprised by the scene just now.
"What a fast speed!" The fans on the sidelines were shocked.
The moment Louis Williams rushed into the basket, Wu Feng seemed to know his intention and quickly started to rush into the inside from outside the three-point line. The lightning speed seemed to be enough to describe Wu Feng's speed of starting. In a blink of an eye, Wu Feng had appeared at the basket, but almost at the moment of his start, Elton Brand was ready to take off.
Wu Feng did not hesitate at all, and quickly soared into the air outside the three-second zone. The amazing jumping force made him float past Elton Brand's eyes like a rocket rising into the air.
After landing, Wu Feng did not choose to pass the ball. He tapped the ground with his right foot and started at full speed again. At this time, the players of the 76ers were surprised by the scene just now. Only Andre Iguodala followed him alone, just running near the midfield. He had to give up. The sharp contrast between the two in speed made Andre Iguodala feel that he seemed to have become a clown. This mentality made him slowly slow down.
"Bang", Wu Feng ended the attack with a beautiful dunk.
The head coach of the 76ers watched the Magic team become more imposing, so he quickly requested a timeout.
Wu Feng, who returned to the rest area, drank half a bottle of drinks and the staff's massage, finally felt that he had recovered a little. At this time, Stan Van Gundy also completed the tactical arrangement and Gerald Wallace played again.
In fact, Stan Van Gundy could also see that Wu Feng had worked very hard just now. Gerald Wallace's role was not only in stable scoring, but also in the tacit understanding he and Wu Feng developed in the past half season, but also in the team's greatest support.
The 76ers' lineup has undergone major adjustments, including Tony Barty, Sadies Young, Andres Noscione, Louis Williams, and Ju Holiday.
Several players who just sat on the bench were less affected by Wu Feng's goal just now. The 76ers usually stood up when Elton Brand came off the court to rest, becoming the team's new offensive core and had a strong psychological endurance.
After the game started again, the fans of the 76ers were surprised to find that the Magic's offensive rhythm had obviously reached several levels. The players quickly penetrated the half-time and kept using their teammates to intersperse the movement of the running position. The ball rights were definitely not only controlled by Wu Feng.
The lightning-like pass was sent from the midfield. After Vince Carter received the ball, he quickly dribbled the ball and brought Louis Williams, who was responsible for defense, into the free throw line. The ball quickly passed from his side. At this time, Wu Feng appeared on the three-point line on the right wing.
He gently stepped on his feet, jumped up high, and gently pushed the ball in his hand out with his stretched arms.
"Swish", causing waves of white waves, so Wu Feng naturally did not waste his teammates' passes.
The transition from offense and defense, a good overall view and a sense of judgment on the ball have given Louis Williams some talent in organizing offense.
The ball quickly passed the half, but Louis Williams still tried hard to control the rhythm of the game. He knew very well that if he really fell into a fast attack, even the 76ers team, which played in a full set of main lineups, may not be the opponent of the Magic. In a strict sense.
Passing, pick-and-roll, passes, pick-and-roll, the 76ers' offense was very patient, and the ball was constantly transmitted in the hands of several players, and they were always trying to find loopholes in the Magic's defense, but in the face of the Magic's urgent defense, it was difficult for them to find a chance to take action.
As the 24-second attack approached, Louis Williams, who was holding the ball, couldn't help but sweat oozing out of his forehead.
With no hope of passing, Louis Williams had to pin his hopes on the breakthrough. The momentary step back caught Wu Feng off guard. The left and right swings made Wu Feng unable to distinguish the direction of his breakthrough. He gently tapped the ground with his right toe, and the whole person accelerated instantly. A white shadow rushed towards Wu Feng's left shoulder.
The huge force spread throughout Wu Feng's shoulders, making it impossible for Wu Feng to make remedies.
"Don't think about it!" Gerald Wallace appeared at the free throw line in time, but his movements seemed to be a little slower, and Louis Williams easily sent the ball into the basket.
"Damn bastard." Gerald Wallace cursed in a jealous manner.
"Don't worry, the rhythm of the game is completely in our hands now. This time it's just his luck, and I won't be so lucky next time." Wu Feng passed by quickly, leaving behind a few words.
To be continued...
