Chapter 201 Killing the top three in a row(2/2)
"The Magic's timeout is very timely. Judging from the current scores of both sides, the Magic still has absolute initiative. However, according to the performance of the two teams just now, the advantage of these 6 points is not very big, and there will be no two round trips. The Magic's most important thing to pay attention to now is that you must not make mistakes." Zhang Heli analyzed.
Stan Van Gundy was worried about more than that. The Magic's rebounding also took advantage of the problem. Within more than three minutes just now, Glen Davis took three frontcourt rebounds, giving the Celtics three offensive opportunities. Now the game is at a critical moment of every second, and each rebound is worth a thousand gold.
The Magic have just insisted on playing a lineup with a big team with four small teams. This lineup wins in speed, but its weakness in rebounding is destined to be unavoidable. Now it seems that the lineup just now is not very effective for the Celtics. In order to regain the balance on rebounding, Stan Van Gundy sent Ryan Anderson again.
Since being traded by the Nets to the Magic, Ryan Anderson has performed very well, averaging 9.8 points per game and 6.5 rebounds per game.
After Ryan Anderson came on the court, he teamed up with Dwight Howard to gain the upper hand in the inside Magic.
On the Celtics bench, Doug Rivers looked very serious, and he clicked a few times on the tactical board, and arranged the following tactics to the players in a deep voice.
"At this stage of the game, both teams no longer have much physical strength, especially the Celtics. Now they are fighting for one breath. Once someone's anger is released first, there will be no hope for the game." Sun Zhenping's expression also looked very serious.
Ryan Anderson is worthy of being a powerful player. After playing, he immediately took a frontcourt rebound. Wu Feng made a three-pointer and the gap between the two teams widened the double digits again. This goal can be said to be the most valuable goal of the Magic so far. The game time is only one minute and thirteen seconds left. The Magic's victory is close.
Chris Du Hong and a substitute player could no longer sit still, stood up, raised his fists to celebrate the Magic's victory. The fans of Amway Center Arena immediately became active, and many people began to cheer for the arrival of victory.
Doug Rivers' face suddenly turned pale. He was still full of confidence just now, but the Magic's goal made him give up completely, and there was less than a minute left.
Wu Feng enjoyed the wonderful moments with all his heart, but he was not proud because Rajon Rondo was standing there in front of him.
Rajon Rondo was running towards his half-time, and in a blink of an eye, he reached outside the three-point line. At this time, a black shadow quickly passed by him. Rajon Rondo's movement was so slow in front of him, and there was no omission in every move. Seeing Rajon Rondo's elegant jump, the ball quickly flew out of his fingers.
"Swish", in fact, Wu Feng doesn't need to listen, and he knows that this ball will definitely score. Rajon Rondo's shooting standards just now are like textbooks.
Vince Carter did not notice Wu Feng's distraction. Seeing that he was still in the Celtics' half, he felt a little happy. This was an excellent opportunity to launch a fast break. As long as Wu Feng plays this fast break, he can truly lock in the victory.
Wu Feng had just come to his senses when a huge basketball flew quickly to his eyes. His instinctive head flashed, Rajon Rondo easily caught the ball, and a long pass quickly handed it to Kendrick Perkins. At this time, there was no Magic's defensive player in front of Kendrick Perkins. Kendrick Perkins' dunk seemed to be about to break the Magic's rebound.
With one minute and five seconds left in the game, the Celtics players broke out again. No, it was Rajon Rondo. He scored five points in a row in just half a minute, and everything seemed full of suspense again.
At this time, the strong counterattack momentum of the Celtics showed made the game more suspense, especially after Rajon Rondo reappeared, the Celtics completely suppressed the Magic.
Wu Feng broke through with the ball, attracted double teams, and handed over the ball to Vince Carter.
Vince Carter made a mid-range jump shot, and the ball entered with a "swish".
The Magic team has regained its momentum, and the new three Magic teams all showed their value as core players at critical moments.
The Celtics attacked, but the Magic defended for three seconds, and the Celtics got a chance to throw one free throw.
With Rajon Rondo's free throw, the suspense of the game was reborn. He no longer paid attention to the victory or defeat of the two teams, but instead focused his whole mind on the game.
Wu Feng's mood is the most complicated now. At the most critical moment of the game, his distraction made the team walk to the edge of a harsh cliff. Stan Van Gundy's just lost composure also had a lot to do with him. He would definitely not have expected that the player he had always been the most at ease was the culprit who pulled the team into danger.
Looking at the excited expressions on the faces of the Celtics players, Wu Feng felt unprecedented fighting spirit in his heart. He was known for his calmness and perseverance during the game, but at this time, an impulse arose in his heart. He got up wherever he fell, and his mistakes must be saved by himself.
Stan Van Gundy looked anxious and had no usual calmness. He was very proud of the timeout just now and recovered the decline at the critical moment of the team.
Rajon Rondo took the serve from Paul Pierce and began to organize the team's offense. Now it's less than a minute, and he has really entered the countdown stage.
Rajon Rondo broke through with the ball, then passed the ball with a hit, and passed it to Glen Davis. The latter pushed Ryan Anderson and then hooked the ball. The ball jumped and finally fell into the basket.
The Magic are only three points ahead.
At the most critical moment of the game, every second is crucial. In order to prevent the Magic from regaining the rhythm, the Celtics players tacitly defended the whole game. At the last moment of the game, the side behind generally adopted two tactics. One is to keep a close eye on the defense of the whole game, and use meticulous defense to make the opponent make mistakes, and the other is to make foul tactics. However, now they are behind, and there is still time, so they will not use foul tactics. And now they are facing the Magic, and the few players on the court are very stable in free throws.
Wu Feng just received the ball at the three-point line, and Rajon Rondo appeared next to him immediately, trying to force Wu Feng out of the field.
Wu Feng passed him with a false alarm. Rajon Rondo's heart tightened. The seemingly simple movement just now, but Wu Feng seemed very decisive and did not have any fatigue in playing a game. It seemed that the mistake just now had stimulated the young man's self-esteem.
This game will definitely die tonight. The deepest impression Wu Feng gave Rajon Rondo is his resilience. In terms of absolute speed, Wu Feng may be a little inferior to himself at his peak, but in these two head-on battles, the performance of the two can only be considered equal. At critical moments, he can always get rid of the desperate situation.
Wu Feng just passed halftime, Rajon Rondo did not give him any room to buffer, so he pressed forward directly. Once Wu Feng was fully activated, even if he increased his horsepower, he might not be sure to stop him. Moreover, Rajon Rondo is already at the end of his strength now.
Doug Rivers could no longer sit still at this time and walked around anxiously on the sidelines. Especially when he saw Wu Feng's expression, he even shouted to defend.
The Celtics have already moved into regional joint defense at this time. The Magic are different from other teams. The five players on the court all have good scoring abilities, and no one can be neglected.
Let the sweat on his forehead drip to the ground along the tip of his nose, Rajon Rondo did not dare to reach out to wipe it. At this time, Rajon Rondo seemed to have been in a defensive state, and the noise of Amway's central stadium could not enter his ears at all.
Wu Feng showed a speed of lightning, and appeared in Rajon Rondo in the blink of an eye. At this time, in the arena and all the fans in front of the TV knew that the most valuable goal in the game appeared. With less than a minute left in the game, this showdown will directly affect the final result of the game. The Celtics have no choice but to retreat. Once this goal cannot be defended, there is only theoretical possibility to win the game.
Seeing that the two bodies were about to collide, Wu Feng's movements seemed to have not changed much. At the same time, the movements in his hands were also changing subtly. He took the bounced ball with his left hand and quickly hit Rajon Rondo's left side. The ball was very fast. Rajon Rondo's heart condensed, and his body's center of gravity retreated slightly, and Wu Feng's movements kept changing.
The moment the ball was shot, Wu Feng made an unexpected move, his body quickly turned to 360 degrees, and his right hand gently turned to Rajon Rondo. Rajon Rondo, who realized his mistake, was ready to make up for defense at the first time, but in a quiet moment, Gerald Wallace had already pulled to the outside line quickly and made a simple barrier with Wu Feng.
Just as Wu Feng was about to take the ball in the three-point line, Paul Pierce had rushed out quickly. When Gerald Wallace pulled to the outside line, he had already estimated his intention and followed him quickly, finally blocking in front of Wu Feng in time.
Wu Feng is not the kind of player who likes to do so. After his shooting move was cut off by Paul Pierce, the ball hit the floor to Paul Pierce's right and quickly bounced into the hands of Ryan Anderson in the inside. At this time, Paul Pierce had already defended himself, and Gerald Wallace naturally became empty.
Gerald Wallace rushed into the Celtics' penalty area and received a pass from Wu Feng to attack the basket and scored was a foregone conclusion. Sure enough, Gerald Wallace easily dunked and helped the Magic score another 2 points.
With 37.2 seconds left, Rajon Rondo broke through with the ball. After Wu Feng, he attracted Dwight Howard's defense and passed a ball to Kendrick Perkins. At this moment, Dwight Howard had already pulled out to make up for the defense of Rajon Rondo, and Ryan Anderson was also behind by Glen Davis.
Kendrick Perkins took a light step forward, and scoring became a natural thing. A smile had appeared on the corner of his mouth. It was a rare thing for him to help the team score such a critical goal in such an important game.
However, the Magic players did not give up because of this. Several players rushed to the basket quickly. When the overall situation was decided, they could only do their last efforts to face everything.
Kendrick Perkins jumped very high this time. When his body reached its peak, his waist bent slightly back, and his body was like a tense bowstring. The shocking dunk was immediately seen appearing in front of all the fans.
The moment his raised right hand was about to slash, a trace of anxiety arose from the bottom of his heart, and he naturally couldn't see it, but all the Celtics fans saw a situation that they could not believe.
At the moment when Rajon Rondo hit the ground, a black shadow quickly penetrated from outside the three-point line and entered the penalty area. When Kendrick Perkins flew up, the black shadow had already appeared in the free throw line, and there was no time for him to delay. If he was like a sky-high cannon, his body would quickly rise into the air.
Looking at the ball in Kendrick Perkins' hand climbing little by little, Wu Feng's belief was even more firm, but his physical strength was consumed a lot. During the process of his body flying, fatigue suddenly surged throughout his body. His whole body seemed to land vertically from the air at any time, but the persistence in his heart made him grit his teeth.
Without too much energy to pay attention to other things, there seemed to be only basketball left in his eyes. Wu Feng roared and stretched out his right hand forward.
Finally, Wu Feng's finger touched the basketball. Although it was just a finger, it burst out with unimaginable power. Kendrick Perkins's slam dunk was blocked by Wu Feng at the front of the rebound. The ball bounced out and was snatched away by Dwight Howard.
With Wu Feng's unimaginable blockade in the end, the Magic Team's morale rose sharply.
In the next wave of attacks, Gerald Wallace and Vince Carter completed a clever cooperation, and Gerald Wallace finally hit a three-pointer.
In the following time, although the Celtics used foul tactics against the Magic and hit a three-pointer, their fierce counterattack was still extinguished by the powerful Magic.
"Drip", as the whistle sounded throughout the game, the game finally came to an end.
The Orlando Magic narrowly defeated the Boston Celtics at home and defeated the opponent for the first time this season.
