Chapter 278 The shark is fierce!

Kevin Garnett jumped up gently and quickly took the ball off. His body bent slightly, and his back was tightly leaning against Brandon Bass. He used a little force to slightly widen the distance between the two. He held the ball with his right wrist raised high. Judging from his posture, it was a complete preparation for a hook shot.

Brandon Bass didn't dare to slack off. After being knocked away, he immediately pressed his body on him again. A force passed through the body that the two were in contact, and actually put pressure on Kevin Garnett. You must know that the moment the player takes action, the body's defense is the most vulnerable. When he loses his position, the chance of throwing the ball in is much lower than jumping up and defending.

"Be careful of O'Neal!"

It was Wu Feng who spoke, but his reminder was a little too late.

Kevin Garnett quickly retreated behind his right wrist, and the ball hit the ground, bounced into Shaq O'Neal's hand just right. At this time, no one was defending him. He shouted loudly, jumped high, and leaned back with an exaggerated look on his right wrist.

"Bang", the shocking dunk completely ignited the atmosphere on the Celtics' bench.

The 'Shark' dunked very happily, and he felt that he hadn't had such a dunk for a long time.

There were many Celtics fans who came to watch the game on site, so after seeing the exciting dunk of the "Shark", they all screamed excitedly.

However, this is the Magic's home court, and the home fans naturally don't want to see the away team show off so much. In addition, this is an extremely competitive playoff, so they gave Shaq O'Neal a very loud boo.

Dwight Howard and Wu Feng looked at each other helplessly. Kevin Garnett's pass was so outstanding. It can even be said that Kevin Garnett is the best player in the Celtics except Rajon Rondo.

After playing against the Celtics so many times in the regular season, Kevin Garnett gave them this impression.

What's more, Kevin Garnett at his peak has averaged at least 5 assists per game for several consecutive seasons.

The Magic served at the bottom line, and Wu Feng quickly led the ball through the half. Deronti West defended Wu Feng.

Wu Feng did not rush to break through, stood outside the three-point line, and rhythmically controlled the ball in his hand.

Wu Feng suddenly changed direction and easily broke through Deronti West. After his first step started, Wu Feng was already very calm. At his own speed, as long as he started, he could not imagine that anyone in the league could surpass him within such a short distance.

Wu Feng was not panicked at all when Kevin Garnett's defense was repaired. Although he was prepared to take action just now, he might not have to take action by himself. Moreover, he enjoyed the sense of accomplishment of passing the ball more. His right foot supported the ground and quickly turned 180 degrees on the spot. His body was leaning against Kevin Garnett's arms, pushing flat with both hands, and the ball flew straight out of the inside line and handed it to the unguarded JJ Redick on the right wing. The latter received the ball, jumped, and took the knife, and the ball fell into the net.

Kevin Garnett missed the left wing jump shot, and the 'Shark' O'Neal took the lead and pushed the ball into the basket.

Wu Feng made a three-pointer from the arc, and Dwight Howard scored the first goal this time. It was him who attracted the Celtics defensive players and handed the ball to Wu Feng, who was undefensive.

Shaq O'Neal missed a strong attack at the basket, Dwight Howard's right elbow gently pressed against Kevin Garnett's waist, and the ball gently landed in his hand. A long pass, Wu Feng, who had already ambushed in the midfield, scored a layup with a flat horse.

Dwight Howard received a wonderful pass from his teammate and scored a dunk, causing Shaq O'Neal to foul, successfully hitting 2+1. The Magic were lucky in this game. This was the fourth time the team successfully hit 2+1.

Rajon Rondo rested for a few minutes off the court. The Magic's 8:4 small ** turned the score into 42:32. The Magic have expanded the lead to double digits.

This made Doug Rivers unable to sit still and jumped to the sidelines to command several times, but he didn't just shout the game. Deronti West's current performance in Wu Feng has caused a big setback to the team's offense.

Deronti West made a pass mistake, Dwight Howard easily intercepted the ball, and a long pass across the entire court assisted JJ Redick to make a layup.

Taking advantage of a chance to die, Rajon Rondo was sent back to the court, and Shaq O'Neal was replaced by Jermaine O'Neal.

On the Magic, Stan Van Gundy also took the opportunity to change Wu Feng. Such a fast-paced game made Wu Feng's physical strength consume very quickly. For the next game, he temporarily let him rest for a few minutes.

With Rajon Rondo's appearance and Wu Feng's end, the entire game rhythm returned to the hands of the Celtics. When Stan Van Gundy realized his mistake, the Celtics were about to tie the score.

Stan Van Gundy has always been focusing on the physical strength of the Celtics. In his opinion, in the second half, the Celtics showed fatigue. When Wu Feng, who had recovered his strength, would naturally win the game like a fallen wind swept away the fallen leaves. But he forgot that the Celtics' substitute strength is definitely above the Magic.

"Swish", Rajon Rondo once again made an assist, and Ray Allen made a three-pointer from the top of the arc.

"Clang", the Magic's offense once again made a blow.

"Bang", it was Rajon Rondo's assist, and the 'Shark' O'Neal who returned to the court was another thunderous slam dunk.

This shocking slam dunk made the fans at the scene seem to have seen the "Big Shark" at the peak moment and the super center who had ruled the basket for many years back.

Under the threading of Rajon Rondo, the Celtics fully exerted their strong attack power, which made Magic players very distressed.

Not only was he unable to defend the offense like a mercury, he also had problems himself, the offensive rhythm could not be made, and the mistakes were also continuous. Stan Van Gundy seemed to have made up his mind to put Wu Feng in the second half.

17:5, this is the score of both sides within a few minutes.

During this period, the Magic only made two shots. At the critical moment, all the players on the team failed, and even the free throws were missed.

The situation reversed and the situation changed suddenly. The two teams that had just played evenly, after the Magic replaced one, the situation on the field was completely reversed.

The Magic players' faces were naturally not good-looking, and Stan Van Gundy looked even more angry. He did not imagine that Wu Feng was already so indispensable to the Magic.

Especially in the playoffs, in such a fierce game, Wu Feng, who holds the team's offense, is definitely different from the team's non-person team. What he can't imagine is that he had made such a stupid move just now. When the team's offense was in a desperate situation, he was still determined to do so. Maybe he really had to pay for his mistakes.

When the first half ended, the Boston Celtics led the Magic by 10 points with 62:52.

In the second quarter, the Magic only scored 18 points, and the Celtics scored 34 points. This result made Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy very atmospheric.

A 10-point difference in the first half does not mean that the Magic lost the game. Even said that the Magic still have a great hope of winning.

But at this time, Stan Van Gundy felt like shooting himself in the foot.

During the halftime break, Stan Van Gundy said seriously to Wu Feng and others: "I know, I made a stupid decision just now, and I admit my mistakes. But what about you? I didn't see anything that satisfies me from your performance just now. I don't want to see this situation again. So, in the second half, you must do your best to win the semi-finals. You are very good players, and I am willing to believe in you, so you must also believe in yourself. Come on, and win the victory of this game."

After a few reproaches, Stan Van Gundy still encouraged them. Their blind responsibilities now do not benefit much from the team's morale, but on the contrary may be counterproductive.

After the second half of the game began, the Magic re-engineered the starting lineup.

This is already a lineup where the Magic are quick to play fast breaks. The gap is very big, and it has almost forced the Magic to a desperate situation. The Celtics' defense is terrible for any team...

As he slowly dribbled the ball towards the half court, Wu Feng's heart was full of one and another. The game was definitely not a problem for one or two people. The coach's temporary substitution was indeed a big loss. What's more serious is that when the team's morale was unable to stop the Celtics' fast break, several Magic players had already thought of giving up. Seeing the opponents easily shuttled around him and kept running and hitting his own baskets, such psychological pressure was conceivable.

If you want to get the lost points back, the most important thing at the moment is to rekindle the fighting spirit of your teammates. The most important thing to increase morale on the court is to score points. A beautiful score is definitely more realistic than a successful defense.

When his teammates were obviously not in shape, he naturally had to shoulder the burden of scoring on his shoulders. He remembered the encouraging look of coach Stan Van Gundy before he went on the court. Although he didn't say it, Wu Feng still understood the meaning of his eyes.

The following goal is the top priority of the game. As long as you can send the ball beautifully into the basket, there is still something to do in this game. If you fail again, the morale of the army will undoubtedly suffer another setback. It is undoubtedly a dream to win the score back.

Rajon Rondo has always focused on Wu Feng. With his understanding of Wu Feng, Wu Feng's super-reading ability in the game must know the importance of the following goal to the Magic.

Now the Magic's outside shooters have almost lost the confidence of the shooter. For a shooter, confidence is the most important thing. He is even higher than luck. Luck can accompany you for a while. Only confidence belongs to you. A shooter who lacks confidence will not have the ability and courage to make a final decision at a critical moment of the game.

Although Dwight Howard has been trying to counterattack, his lack of support from outside players, and Kevin Garnett's defense that did not dare to relax at all allows him to focus more on the basket and the protection of rebounds, and he has no extra energy to devote to the offense.

More importantly, the Celtics completely cut off the Magic's internal and external communication through quick round defense conversions, making it difficult for the outside ball to pass in.

The most fierce competition on the basketball court is the penalty area under the rebound. You can not gain the advantage if you have good skills and good health at the basket. The cooperation of your teammates and the mastery of time are indispensable.

The Magic's outside pass quality is not high. After getting the ball, Dwight Howard finds a comfortable shooting position. While he keeps adjusting his position and looking for opportunities to make a move, the Celtics' inside line has already taken precautions against his offense, but it ends up wasting time.

After making up his mind, Wu Feng did not hesitate at all. Looking at Rajon Rondo, who was walking a few steps away, Wu Feng was confident in his heart.

I have always been deeply afraid of Rajon Rondo's speed, but I have already figured out his defense and can make a beautiful breakthrough.

But things are far from that simple. In a team like the Celtics that are both offensive and defensive, there will naturally be remedial measures be made in addition to Rajon Rondo.

At this time, Rajon Rondo did not dare to slacken at all. It is logical that one or two balls could not shake their lead.

But only they knew the pain in their hearts. The team was exhausted from the six battles with the Magic.

Especially in the last game, although the team won easily on the surface, is it really the case? Only they themselves know how much effort they have put in to win the series against the Pacers.

The two-day rest time is far from making up for the consumption of the previous round of the game.

Although Wu Feng's mouth was still full of smiles, there was no smile in his eyes. His cold eyes seemed to see through Rajon Rondo's thoughts.

However, as the person involved, Rajon Rondo, had another feeling. Wu Feng's eyes showed confidence and persistence. On the surface, the focus of his eyes was on himself, but he clearly felt that Wu Feng had only one goal of persistence through his body, that is, the basket.

This is a very wonderful feeling. The reason why Rajon Rondo feels like this is that Wu Feng's eyes have an indescribable look. He couldn't tell clearly for a while, but he knew one thing very clearly. Wu Feng must want to send the basketball in his hand into the basket with his own hands.

Wu Feng dribbled the ball very slowly, but it gave people a very stable feeling. The Celtics players did not make rash steals. With Wu Feng's expression, his chance of carelessness can be imagined. In the hands of an outstanding ball-handling expert like Wu Feng, unless he breaks through, there will be any loopholes in his defense, and he may be intercepted by his opponent.

As the two gradually approached, Rajon Rondo felt the persistence in Wu Feng's eyes more and more. He squatted down slightly, stretched his arms slightly, and made a secret decision in his heart that he would block the ball no matter what. Even if he couldn't stop it completely, he would have to make up for the time to win the teammates.

He was almost certain that Wu Feng would not choose to pass the ball. Although this style of play was quite different from Wu Feng's personality, in special circumstances, many people did not think that there was any problem with Wu Feng's singles at this time, but on the contrary, it was a wise move.

After slapping the ball twice, the muscles of his body tensed instantly, and his sharp eyes instantly tightened, and his unyielding aura showed his body.

Rajon Rondo, who felt this momentum first, empathized with it.

When Wu Feng broke through Rajon Rondo, his keen reaction made him react immediately, but his hands and feet were always one step later.

Wu Feng made a quick stop jump shot, and Kevin Garnett, who made the defense, was always one step slower.

He can't blame him for this. He never expected that Rajon Rondo would be broken through so easily, but defense is not Rajon Rondo's strongest point, but his outstanding speed and unyielding spirit cannot be easily broken through like this.

Stan Van Gundy finally sat back on his seat. In just half an hour, his butt had never touched the seat. As the ball entered the basket, he saw the rekindled fighting spirit on the Magic players.

The lost morale will not be recovered in a short while. The Celtics' tactics are still a bit difficult for the Magic. Fortunately, Wu Feng's appearance has greatly reduced the pressure on Dwight Howard in the interior. Two singles at critical moments have bitten the score tightly, and the Celtics have not allowed them to continue to open the score.

Stan Van Gundy is still quite satisfied with the current situation on the court. Although other players have not scored yet, they have gradually recovered as usual in defense. The Celtics' offense has been smooth so far, but it is far less relaxed and comfortable than the second quarter.

He is waiting for an opportunity. So far, the physical strength problem of the Celtics has been vaguely unsustainable. However, after Doug Rivers' several substitutions, the problem is not very big, and it has almost no impact on the Celtics' offense.

Kevin Garnettla reached the outside line and Rajon Rondo ran to the bottom line, adjusted his posture, and tried to make the touch soft and beautiful shooting posture shot.

"Clang", Rajon Rondo's goal was almost certain, but the iron shot unexpectedly went out. Rajon Rondo's tight hands relaxed unknowingly.

Dwight Howard easily took the rebound and threw the ball to Wu Feng, and immediately ran to the frontcourt. At this point, Dwight Howard felt very frustrated. He looked at the small players of the Celtics, laying under his nose, but he was blocked by Kevin Garnett, and the Magic's penalty area was raging at will.

Wu Feng got off the ground very fast, and even the Magic and Celtics players couldn't keep up with him, even Rajon Rondo was left a few steps away by him.

The only thing that threatened him was Kevin Garnett, who had been in the midfield, had quickly returned to defend when Rajon Rondo took action. In his opinion, Rajon Rondo's chance of losing such a ball was not high. Unexpectedly, in this case, he was playing directly outside.

Wu Feng's situation is very awkward now. Kevin Garnett is eyeing him in front, and Celtics players such as Rajon Rondo are following behind. If he is not careful, he will fall into a situation of attacking from the front and back. The Magic teammates are closest to him, and they are several meters behind Rajon Rondo, and they can only rely on themselves.

At the three-point line and free throw line, Wu Feng's figure is getting closer and closer, and Kevin Garnett's spirit is also highly concentrated.

Unexpectedly, Wu Feng stopped at the free throw line. Kevin Garnett was anxious. This move was another move, and he stopped jump shots. Many people in the league would do this.

However, there are very few people who are really good at it. The emergency stop jump shot has high requirements for players, and the physical coordination and feel are very high. However, the people in front of them seem to be very good at this. In the previous few matches, Wu Feng repeatedly staged a quick stop jump shot after breaking through, which made the Celtics defensive players almost have the urge to go crazy.
