Chapter 203 The Wrath of Thunder God

As the Thunder's number one star, Kevin Durant has always been their most stable scorer.《》.com Although Russell Westbrook has also shown the potential of a super point guard this season, the boss of the Thunder is Durant after all.

Kevin Durant took the lead in the first attack of the Thunder.

The Magic players also know that this game is another difficult game. If you want to win the game, you must first lock their boss, Durant. Secondly, play team defense and offense. Only in this way can they have greater hope of winning.

Long before the game started, Stan Van Gundy told them that they should focus on defending Kevin Durant. Now it seems that what Stan Van Gundy pointed out is very correct.

Wu Feng's breakthrough was very superb, which made Russell Westbrook quite cautious. In this game, Scott Brooks naturally handed over the burden of defending Wu Feng to his hands.

Russell Westbrook deliberately opened a little distance, but unexpectedly, Wu Feng pulled a green onion in a dry land half a meter outside the three-point line, and the ball entered the net.

Wu Feng's current strength has made great progress compared to more than half a month ago. During this period, Wu Feng trained his shooting while simulated the game. While enhancing his own offense, he did not forget to accumulate experience through simulated games.

In real-life training, Wu Feng also worked very hard.

The first one to go to the stadium for training was basically Wu Feng, and the last one to leave the stadium was basically Wu Feng. Even when the team had no training content, Wu Feng would go to the stadium for training. Reggie Miller and Clyde Drexler would also often train Wu Feng.

It is precisely through this kind of persistent efforts that Wu Feng has made such great progress. Now he is not only strong in defense, but also has excellent offense. Although he still cannot reach the level of Kevin Durant, Wade and Roy, he is now only stronger than the offensive level of second-rate stars in the league.

With Russell Westbrook's defensive ability and height advantages, it obviously won't make Wu Feng play so easily, but he is too afraid of Wu Feng's breakthrough and is cautious but the result of being too cautious is counterproductive.

Scott Brooks shook his head helplessly. This time it was not entirely Russell Westbrook's mistake. Wu Feng's ability was too comprehensive. He could do everything in offense, defense, passing, and the stable shooting made the defending players unable to figure out his next move.

The Thunder's several passes from the outside never found a chance. Russell Westbrook had no choice but to pass the ball to the inside.

Nenard Kostic immediately leaned forward to catch the ball. At this time, there were no players from the Magic team under the basket. He just needed to get the ball and he could win.

"Bang", a figure flashed in front of me, and naturally I didn't get the ball.

Vince Carter's natural sense of opportunity made him always run at the front of the team in fast breaks. Dwight Howard's passing quality was not high. Fortunately, there were no Thunder players around him, so he easily sent the ball into the basket.

This is the characteristic of the Magic team. It is always full of vitality in offense. Give them a little chance and you can shoot a wave of attacks.

Scott Brooks' face became increasingly ugly. The Magic's tactics were obviously aimed at the Thunder. Three insiders almost strangled Nenard Kostic, Serge Ibaka's contact with other teammates. Russell Westbrook's touch was not very good either. He only hit one four shots, and even missed the open shot.

The Thunder called for the first timeout. When the inside was frozen and Russell Westbrook felt bad, Kevin Durant made two accurate mid-range shots, but finally failed to let the Magic open the score. (""Net 7*)

Looking at the commotion on the Thunder's bench and James Harden's relaxed expression, Stan Van Gundy knew the Thunder's next move.

With the Thunder team back on the court, James Harden replaced Saab Sefrosa's position. Saab Sefrosa's performance this season was not ideal, and his playing time was constantly reduced, but Scott Brooks never changed his main position.

James Harden gave the Magic a warning as soon as he came on the court.

Vince Carter's horizontal pass was successfully intercepted by James Harden who suddenly appeared, and then drove the ball alone. The Magic players had already penetrated into the Thunder's half. Vince Carter's pass mistake caught everyone off guard. Although Vince Carter tried his best to catch up afterwards, the distance between the two was getting bigger and bigger, and they could only watch James Harden successfully make a layup.

James Harden's flamboyant celebrations made the fans of Amway Center Arena very dissatisfied. Fortunately, the Magic fans are still relatively qualified, and there are not many people who scold them, but the noise and booing are intertwined.

Just ten seconds later, Vince Carter hit the Thunder with a precise three-pointer, and more importantly, this goal was shot under James Harden's defense.

…………

Kevin Durant's breakthrough is definitely top-notch in the league. His outstanding speed and excellent physical confrontation ability make him almost invincible in the breakthrough. JJ Redick's defense is almost unprepared for him. He took advantage of his physical advantages and easily broke through the Magic's first layer of defense.

When Kevin Durant broke through to the near-free throw line, he transferred the ball to Russell Westbrook. Wu Feng was following Russell Westbrook. After getting the ball, he not only had no chance to take action, but was almost cut off by Wu Feng.

The ball returned to Kevin Durant's hands, but at this time he had no chance to take action. Gerald Wallace had already appeared in front of him. Under Gerald Wallace's defense, Kevin Durant had to frown secretly. The offensive side had a relatively advantage in offense and defense, and there were many choices in offense, but the defensive side had to firmly defend its bottom line. Any simple negligence could lead to a breakthrough by the defensive side.

The ball was sent back to the outside line, but the attack time had already jumped to twenty-one seconds. After receiving the ball, Russell Westbrook had not even had time to adjust the center of gravity, so he hurriedly made a three-pointer, but lost a three-pointer.

Brandon Bass grabbed the defensive rebound and quickly handed it to Wu Feng.

Russell Westbrook could not stop Wu Feng's breakthrough at all, and Wu Feng easily rushed into the three-point line. However, Kevin Durant had noticed the situation here this time. At the moment Wu Feng started, he had given up jj Redick to make up for Russell Westbrook's omissions. As for his position, there were naturally other players to make up for it.

However, he finally despised Wu Feng's passing ability. Before he could make up for defense, Wu Feng's ball was quickly handed over. The ball was passing flat and steady, and the ball was very fast. The players on the Thunder team were not as good as the ones to make up for defense in the future. jj Redick had quickly adjusted the ball in his hand and easily jumped out of the three-point line.

"Swish" the ball fell into the basket neatly!

Since he had Wu Feng, JJ Redick's performance has become better and better, and he has become more and more confident in playing. Especially in his performance at the three-point line, he has always been very outstanding and has the potential to become a top scorer in the league. Moreover, he is most fortunate that he has two very outstanding teammates. In the game, they have attracted most of the attention of the opponent's players, giving him more opportunities to take action in the game.

On the Thunder, Kevin Durant singles JJ Redick, a beautiful backward jump shot, finally scored 2 points for the Thunder. (""Net 7*)

Kevin Durant's jump shot is too unsolvable, and it makes defensive players unable to defend.

"Swish", Wu Feng took a step back and quickly opened the distance between Russell Westbrook and easily hit the opponent's head. This was entirely based on his own physical fitness, and his absolute physical advantage allowed him to be at ease in the offense.

"Bang", Russell Westbrook's jump shot went offensively, Nenard Costic grabbed the offensive rebound and then divided the ball into Kevin Durant on the outside.

Kevin Durant broke through with the ball and hung the ball to Serge Ibaka at the basket. Serge Ibaka singled Dwight Howard, and turned around and failed. Unfortunately, Gerald Wallace won the defensive rebound.

Offense and defense transfer, Magic team attack.

Wu Feng broke through with the ball and handed the ball to Gerald Wallace at the bottom line. The latter received the ball and made a layup, but was interfered by Nenald Kostic. The ball failed to enter, and Sergi Ibaka grabbed the defensive rebound.

"Swish", Kevin Durant made a mid-range shot. With his teammates missed consecutive shots, Kevin Durant chose to take the shot himself, but the goal was very difficult. JJ Redick's tight marks made his shot not very smooth.

The offense and defense were transferred, and the ball rights fell into the hands of the Magic, and Wu Feng quickly brought the ball through the half.

At this time, Wu Feng made a scene that surprised everyone. Near the midfield, Wu Feng actually jumped high and the ball quickly flew out of his fingertips.

Stan Van Gundy was a little confused. In the past two rounds, Wu Feng performed very well. He sent the ball to the most appropriate position at the most appropriate time. But for such an inexplicable shot, I really don’t know what he was thinking. Even if he really wanted to show his long-range shooting skills, this shot was too outrageous!

However, Stan Van Gundy chose to believe in Wu Feng because he believed that Wu Feng would not do unprepared things.

The Thunder players also watched the basketball in the air, but to their pleasure, the ball began to fall near the free throw line. Under this situation, the ball might not be able to fly to the basket, a typical air balloon.

When the Thunder player put down his tightly hanging heart, there was a black shadow and quickly jumped up from the Magic's inside line.

The bright "12" on the back of the jersey shows the identity of the dark shadow in the air.

As the body rose to its peak, Dwight Howard actually stopped in the air, and his whole body quickly reversed by 180 degrees, facing the basket.

The movement and stillness were all in turmoil. Dwight Howard steadily caught the basketball and placed the ball at his waist with both hands.

"Roar" Dwight Howard breathed in his chest and roared out instantly. His stiff body quickly softened, and his hands quickly pulled the ball backwards to the back of his head.

"Bang", the loud dunk sounded throughout the Amway Center Arena, and the entire basket was shaking violently, and Dwight Howard's body also fluctuated.

"Clang", as the basket rejected the away players' shooting again, Magic fans burst into laughter.

Seeing his teammates wasting their opportunities again and again, the first quarter was almost halfway through, but the Magic team, who played at home, led the way with 16:9, especially the booing of the fans just now, which made the aspiring Kevin Durant determined to defeat his opponent in his own way.

Kevin Durant's right foot retreated in a marching manner, leaving only a figure of No. 35 in front of JJ Redick. The target he was guarding had already escaped from his eyes.

Dwight Howard's slow pace gave Kevin Durant enough time to choose a jump shot. However, his breakthrough posture did not change at all. When the two were about to touch each other, Kevin Durant's body was slightly outside, just avoiding Dwight Howard's defense. At this time, the Magic's basket was already empty.

"Ah..." In a roar, Kevin Durant was like a flying roc, flying high under the noses of more than 20,000 home fans with a thunderous momentum, and his powerful right hand raised the basketball high above his head.

"Bang", the deafening dunk sounded shocking the fans of Amway Center Arena.

Kevin Durant, after being booed by home fans, used an amazing dunk to completely reverse the atmosphere on the court in just over a dozen seconds.

At this time, the Thunder's momentum undoubtedly overwhelmed the opponent.

The Magic's offense failed, Kevin Durant grabbed the defensive rebound and drove the ball all the way down.

The forced jump outside the three-second zone rushed forward to Brandon Bass' slap without hesitation. His super strong ability to stagnate the air made his movements in the air look extremely relaxed and freehand. He was just a slight side, and he had easily avoided the opponent's defense. He gently shook his wrist and fell into the nets in the opposite direction of the basket.

Wu Feng broke through with the ball, and passed Dwight Howard in the high position. The latter jumped directly after receiving the ball. He thought the ball would make steady progress, but unexpectedly, after a few laps in the basketball, it actually bounced out again, and Sergi Ibaka grabbed the defensive rebound.

Kevin Durant's precise three-pointer at the right wing of 45 degrees finally allowed the Thunder to tie the score.

At this time, the booed fans of Thunder fans only two minutes later. In these two minutes, Kevin Durant seemed to have become the scoring leader of last season and became an omnipotent scoring machine. He scored 7 points alone, scored 7:0 on the Magic, tied the score.

Seeing this, Stan Van Gundy quickly called for a timeout.

…………

The first quarter was very smooth. At the end of the game, the Magic temporarily led the Thunder by 2 points with 29:27.

The core players of both sides performed mediocrely, but the role players were very outstanding. Serge Ibaka only got two mobile phones in the first quarter. Russell Westbrook made two of five shots, James Harden was quite active on the bench, scoring seven points with both shots and free throws. On the Magic, Dwight Howard became the first firepower point, making three of four shots, two of which were three-pointers. After that three-pointer, Vince Carter seemed to lose his shots all at once, and all three shots missed. Wu Feng became the team's coolie, with four points, four rebounds, three assists, and one steal.

The expressions of the two head coaches were not good-looking, and the tactics developed through hard work were both disappointed. The Thunder's offensive setbacks and the Magic's defensive loopholes all pushed the two teams to an awkward situation. However, Stan Van Gundy was in a better mood. Both of the Thunder's leading stars were in trouble, while Wu Feng was unable to take into account the offense in order to make up for the team's leaks.

Looking at Vince Carter who was breathing rapidly, Stan Van Gundy made a new decision in his heart. With the start of the second quarter, jj Redick replaced Vince Carter.

The Thunder also made adjustments to the lineup. The five players who came on the court were: Nenard Costic, Kevin Durant, James Harden, Saab Seifrosa and Eric Meno. This is a response team for the Magic. The three speed strikers are all out of the way and are actively running, but there are many loopholes in the inside. However, Nenard Costic basically did not receive support from his teammates in the first quarter, so those loopholes naturally no longer exist.

The Thunder's formation change effect was instantly shot, and Kevin Durant's singles ability made the Magic a headache.

Seeing Kevin Durant appearing at the basket again and again, Wu Feng felt a little uneasy in his heart. The Magic's already unstable inside line was already in turmoil.

"Bang", Nenard Costic's hands dunked, ignored his teammates who came forward to congratulate him. After Nenard Costic scored, he clenched his fists and raised them over his head, and actually roared to the sky. In fact, it was no wonder that Nenard Costic was so abnormal. In a full fifteen minutes, Nenard Costic was completely frozen in the inside by the Magic. His teammates' several tentative passes were either intercepted or destroyed, but were seized by the Magic and successfully fought several fast breaks.

However, Stan Van Gundy did not seem to notice. From then on, Nenard Kostic became much more active at the basket. Although he didn't have many chances to get the ball, he created several opportunities for his teammates, and the Magic's advantage disappeared bit by bit.

The Magic passed the ball five times in a row and never got a chance to take action. Gerald Wallace forced a shot near the free throw line, but the arc of the ball was a bit high and the ball hit the back edge of the ring.

With a roar of "rebound", several burly men rushed into the inside line quickly, focusing on the basketball that was constantly spinning in the air. Nenard Costic's height advantage was fully demonstrated at this time, and his arms spread out kept the two Magic players behind him.

Kevin Durant appeared at the basket again, and with the assistance of Nenard Costic, he grabbed the most favorable rebound position. The Thunder players saw the rebounds fall into his hands, and the players near the midfield had already begun to prepare for a fast break.

"Ah..." Amid the audience's exclamations, Kevin Durant felt a strong airflow behind him, and a slightly white palm appeared on his head.

The wrist flipped, and a huge force pressed down from Kevin Durant's head, and almost let out a sigh of relief.

"Clang" the fans of Amway's Center Arena jumped up from the bench. Kevin Durant was 208 cm tall, and with his excellent jumping power, Wu Feng took the lead and the height of the air was half an arm higher than his. Once he rode Kevin Durant with one-handed slam dunk, even Nenard Costic was pressed under him.

"Wu, amazing bounce, amazing slam dunk... I really hope that I can see his wonderful performance in the slam dunk competition this year on this All-Star Weekend. It's so exciting." DJ's roar on the spot motivated the emotions of all the fans.

Wu Feng's slam dunk greatly boosted the morale of the Magic team. The Thunder players are still a little absent-minded. The Magic team's 7:2 small ** has entered the first official timeout.

Everyone on the Magic's bench stood up and greeted Wu Feng one by one. The ball they had just watched was full of enthusiasm off the court. If the substitute players hadn't been able to play, they would have already rushed forward.

"Good job." Stan Van Gundy also stepped forward with relief and patted his shoulder. Wu Feng has always been his most reassuring player. He always knows how to do the right thing in the right place, and sometimes he even takes over his coaching duties.

After the official timeout, the Magic launched a commonly used lineup, center Dwight Howard, power forward Brandon Bass, small forward Gerald Wallace, shooting guard Vince Carter, and organizational defender Wu Feng.

Nenald Costic's thaw in the inside activated the Thunder's offense. Even though the Thunder's players were absent-minded just now, they still succeeded one after another.

"Hmph" groaned, and Wu Feng staggered, fortunately, he took several small steps before he could barely stop his body.

Sabo Seifrosa suddenly popped up and directly knocked Wu Feng out from the side. She had just passed Russell Westbrook. Her body's center of gravity had not been adjusted yet. She was lucky to have not flew out of bounds after such a violent impact.

The referee blew the Thunder's defensive foul, but Sabo Seifrosa was obviously dissatisfied and chased behind the referee, constantly drawing his own movements just now, and kept talking nonsense.

"Drip", another technical foul.
Chapter completed!
