Chapter 204: Repel Thunder

"Hmph" groaned, Wu Feng staggered, fortunately, he took several small steps and barely stopped his body. (""Net 7*)

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.

When Wu Feng walked onto the free throw line, the whole game was quiet. This was the whistle at home, and fans knew when and what to do.

"Swish" a rainbow flew past, bringing a wave of white waves, and the cheering waves reached their peak instantly.

For Wu Feng, the free throw is equivalent to helping him with extra points out of thin air. Wu Feng naturally won't miss three free throw opportunities.

The Thunder obviously strengthened its defense against Wu Feng, as long as the ball was in his hands, there would be at least two players coming forward to double-team. Wu Feng didn't care much about these. The more defensive players he attracted, the easier the teammates would play. However, the Thunder's defense was strengthened, and the small movements of defensive players also increased significantly. Just now, Saab Seifrosa flew to the ground, and then Kevin Durant and their defense became more barbaric, and even put themselves in danger twice.

Stan Van Gundy saw the clues and immediately asked other players to come forward to respond. The commentator on the scene also saw the problem. Although he could not make such effective adjustments as Stan Van Gundy, he had a mouth, but his mouth was facing tens of thousands of fans.

The referee saw the booing and protests of the fans, but he had no choice. In his opinion, although the Thunder's defense was a little rough, it did not conflict with the norms of the court.

As long as they don’t touch the bottom line, they are powerless. We can’t say that the opponent’s defensive style is relatively rough, so we won’t let the game be!

Just like the worst of the "Bad Boys Legion" back then was center Bill Ranbir, everyone knew that he was very sinister and vicious on the field, but he still galloped on the court for more than ten years, and the referee could only punish him if he confirmed that he had a malicious foul.

The Thunder team's foul tactics were well executed. They sent Wu Feng to the free throw line several times in a row, but the effect was not very good. The main reason was that they seemed to have found the wrong target. Wu Feng has always been a tactful player, especially on the court. Unless it is in the handling of some key balls, Wu Feng rarely forces his shots, especially when he is unsure, his score is accustomed to capturing opportunities.

"Clang", Vince Carter's three-point shot missed, and the rest just now did not make him feel regained his touch. The Thunder's urgent defense made him lose the rhythm of shooting. The two consecutive blackshots made his expression look very ugly.

Nenard Costic easily took off the defensive rebound and quickly passed the ball to Russell Westbrook.

At this time, the Thunder players had already retreated quickly, and the Thunder had a lot of experience in defensive counterattacks this season, especially Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant were on the court at the same time.

The pass was not accurate, but it was very good. At this time, the basket was two-on-two. Russell Westbrook rose from the ground near the free throw line, but Gerald Wallace sealed his shooting position with his outstanding explosive power.

The wrist suddenly sank, and the ball hit the floor and quickly bounced to the inside. At this time, Sergi Ibaka had already slipped into the inside. With a swing, Sergi Ibaka pulled the position of the attack. After moving, he gently raised his left foot and flew up in the narrow space under the basket. He gently hooked his wrist and the ball slid through an arc while rising. ("".com)

"pretty!"

Even Wu Feng had to admire him. Unexpectedly, with Sergi Ibaka's style of playing, he could score such a delicate goal. The entire goal process was smooth and simple, and the movements were simple and effective.

"Drip", the referee's whistle sounded a little inexplicably. The players on both sides looked at the referee in confusion, not knowing who he was blowing.

"The Magic's No. 15 defensive foul, the goal is counted, and one free throw is added."

The referee's judgment made Vince Carter feel extremely aggrieved. The successive misses in front had already made him feel very unstable. The referee's whistle blow completely ignited his anger.

Vince Carter ran to the referee angrily and began to chatter.

Wu Feng's head suddenly became big. The referee just now was near the free throw line. He might not have seen some details of the basket clearly. If he misjudged it, he would just watch the live video. Unexpectedly, Vince Carter, who was usually honest and kind, had such a big temper at once.

Seeing the referee's face darkened, Wu Feng hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed him. This was the second quarter. If the referee was offended now, the next game would be difficult to play. You should know that many controversial judgments on the basketball court are the standards in the referee's own mind. Offending the referee on the court is the stupidest behavior.

"Sorry, he is in a bad state today, and his tone is a little impulsive, but he did not meet the other party just now." After apologizing, Wu Feng still expressed his opinion.

His career has been nearly half a season and has learned a lot. When facing the referee, excessive impulse and excessive tolerance are not the best way. The best way is to be soft and hard. Even if the penalty cannot be changed for the time being, the referee will have a clear idea and will naturally have a psychological tendency in the future.

Seeing that the referee just warned Vince Carter and did not call a technical foul, a big stone in Stan Van Gundy's heart was finally put down. There was a player like Wu Feng in the team, so he really had to worry a lot.

However, Stan Van Gundy still called a timeout. Vince Carter's performance today was very abnormal and he was more excited.

"Jj, you go." Vince Carter's performance disappointed him with Stan Van Gundy. He just said a simple sentence and began to arrange tactics for the players.

Vince Carter's absence is an irreparable loophole for the Magic.

This season, he has always been one of the team's important scorers, and he has always been the team's fast attack leader, the most stable scoring point outside Wu Feng. JJ Redick is also a relatively outstanding player, but he is naturally much inferior to Vince Carter, especially in terms of grasping opportunities.

"Drip", the referee's whistle sounded again, and jj-Redick was blown an offensive foul.

But looking at his excited expression, the foul seemed not to be banned from him.

However, looking at James Harden's painful expression lying on the ground, he really has a reason to be happy. The two of them fought several times in a row, all ending with passing. JJ Redick's tough style seemed to have no effect on James Harden. However, this time his fake move successfully deceived his opponent, but the final breakthrough was a bit too hasty, and he accidentally met James Harden.

The Magic still temporarily led the opponent by 3 points with 54:51.

The two teams played a wonderful offensive and defensive battle in the second quarter, and the scores were always tight. The Magic team was everywhere, and the players on the court scored points. The most scored was Wu Feng's 10 points, and the Thunder's scored relatively scattered. Nenard Costic and Russell Westbrook each scored eight points. Kevin Durant is the only player in the game to score in double digits, but it is only ten. ("" website 7*)

"This feels to be a high-level match. It is not surprising that the Thunder team plays such high-quality defense, but with the current Magic team's lineup, it is indeed very rare. For fans, take a break, and we will bring you a more exciting second half game to you." The commentator of the imperial court said with a smile.

Ten, seven rebounds, five assists, two steals, and one block. Wu Feng's all-around performance has become the best player in the halftime and was interviewed by a reporter from the midfield.

The team's defensive performance made Stan Van Gundy feel calm, and he never had to doubt the team's offensive ability.

Stan Van Gundy's confidence is not without basis. Sergi Ibaka will become the main target of the Magic's attack. Sergi Ibaka's physical strength is not enough to support a 48-minute game. Comparing physical strength, the Magic will definitely have an advantage.

The halftime break passed quickly, and the cheerleaders' wonderful performances could not attract the attention of fans. Everyone was exchanging their experience in the first half. Indeed, such a close offensive and defensive battle is rare even in the playoffs.

Both sides fought in different places.

The Magic took the lead in obtaining the offensive power. Sabo Seifrosa's main task in the first half was to defend Wu Feng, but Wu Feng's main energy in the first half was to focus on combination and defense. Several attempts were also chosen as an open position. Sabo Seifrosa was simply unable to exert force.

So far, he is still very physically strong, and he feels a little embarrassed when he looks at his sweaty teammate.

With his right hand gently raised, Sabo Sefrosa shook his head helplessly. In his eyes, Wu Feng was simply a living loach, and his defense that he had tried was hard to be used in front of him.

The basketball did not pass as expected. Sabo Sefrosa roared in despair, and the misjudgment made him not ready for defense. In addition, the distance between the two could only watch Wu Feng easily make a three-pointer long shot.

"Swish", with a crisp sound of touching the net, Wu Feng entered the defense with a smile. Wu Feng has always been very confident about his own shooting. He has been working hard for ten years off the stage and has been on stage for three minutes. Wu Feng's achievements today are inseparable from his diligence and hard practice. In the team's daily training, he is often the first to be on the court, but the last to leave.

The half-court game has gradually made Sergi Ibaka adapt to the Magic's defense. With his flexible footsteps and the rare skills among power forwards, his power under the basket has gradually been shown.

Stan Van Gundy's defensive tactics against Sergi Ibaka were very successful in the first half, but he did not make proper adjustments. The Thunders had more high-altitude passes in the pass to the inside, and with Sergi Ibaka's height, he naturally had room to play.

With Sergi Ibaka and Nenard Kostic's successive results at the basket, Stan Van Gundy had to readjust the roster.

Brandon Bass returned to the court. He only played for a few minutes in the first half. He was weak in offense and could not keep up with Nenard Costic's footsteps in defense. However, the situation is different now. Nenard Costic's performance in the second half is generally not as good as the performance in the first half. Physical strength has always been an important factor limiting Nenard Costic's performance. Especially in this game, Nenard Costic has no chance to rest in the first half. He was basically frozen by the Magic in the first quarter. In the second quarter, the Magic strengthened the defense of the outside line. Nenard Costic has room to play in the inside and becomes the pillar of the team's offense. Scott Brooks naturally dared not replace Nenard Costic and Sergi Ibaka.

Even though he knew it was a trap designed by the opponent, he had to step on it with his head. This is the biggest feeling of the Thunder. Nenard Kostic and Sergi Ibaka's physical strength dropped very quickly, especially in the few attacks just now, his movements were obviously not as flexible as the first half. With Brandon Bass' physical strength and body, the two of them actually tied at the basket.

Seeing that the team gradually gained the initiative in the game, Stan Van Gundy couldn't help but feel proud: it seems that he also has the potential to become a master of tactics.

"Bang", Sabo Seifrosa's pass was very good, using the inside to restrain the Magic's defense, pretending to shoot to attract the attention of Magic players, but the moment the ball was shot, he threw it behind him. This pass was indebted in both the timing and the direction. The only regret was the force of the passing. After all, he was not a player from a point guard, and he seemed to be unable to grasp the passing force. In addition, Kevin Durant obviously did not realize that he would pass the ball.

In a hurry, the ball hit his finger and bounced out. Fortunately, there was no Magic player by his side. Fortunately, Kevin Durant quickly leaned over to check the ball. For him, this was a good opportunity to score.

Scott Brooks clenched his fists and stared at everything on the court with a serious expression. He didn't expect that this game would be so hard.

Back to back does have a significant impact on the Magic, but in terms of tactical arrangements, he was taken first by his opponent step by step. So far, the score difference between the two sides has not reached double digits, but the Thunder did his best and could not catch up with the score.

He took a deep breath, and the solid feeling of getting the ball made Kevin Durant's holding the ball a little careless, and a white palm penetrated through his armpit like a ghost.

The booing sounds all over the field suddenly turned into a scream. The huge force made the ball fly out of Kevin Durant's hand. Seeing the opportunity of the hand, he was naturally unwilling to let go. His blood suddenly surged up, and his whole body flew out like an arrow. His mind was actually rising at this time. However, years of experience still made him not look back and observe who poked his ball out.

The Amway Center Stadium suddenly became a dead sea. At this time, there seemed to be only two people in the huge stadium. When Scott Brooks first discovered that Kevin Durant was doing his best, he had such an amazing speed.

But when his eyes flashed to another figure, he really wanted to have a whip and give Kevin Durant a hard time. When Wu Feng was two behind him and his start was ahead, he watched the ball rolling across the center line, and Wu Feng followed in a few steps.

With clear footsteps, Kevin Durant's fighting spirit became more and more vigorous. He is a typical emotional player. Once he mobilizes his emotions, he can create a surprising miracle. Under Wu Feng's close pursuit, Kevin Durant actually accelerated again.

"Huhh..." The violent airflow passed through Kevin Durant, and the huge force easily pushed him aside. The basketball that was close to him disappeared, and only the huge number 27 words on the jersey were seen.

The unwillingness made Kevin Durant's eyes almost burst into flames, and he gritted his teeth and quickly chased after him again.

In the blink of an eye, the two changed roles, but Kevin Durant showed explosive power not inferior to Wu Feng at this moment, and the two stumbled across the free throw line.

Wu Feng forced his jump with his leading half position.

After chasing one-third of the field, Kevin Durant naturally couldn't watch his opponent's slam dunk easily, but his speed had already reached the limit. In desperation, he instinctively stretched out his right hand and grabbed Wu Feng's jersey.

As soon as Wu Feng's ball was raised above his head, a huge force grabbed his body, completely losing balance in the air. At this time, it was still a considerable distance from the basket. With Wu Feng's arm span, he could not complete the dunk at all.

"Drip", the referee's whistle sounded in time, and there was no choice but to throw the ball gently with his touch.

"Bang, bang, bang" Wu Feng, who lost his center of gravity, was not sure about the force of his attack. The ball flew high and hit the upper edge of the rebound when it fell. He bounced twice in a row, but the ball still plunged into the basket.

With great joy, Wu Feng couldn't help but attach his right hand behind his ear, enjoying the cheers of the four Wus.

"A player who always surprises people is so surprised. He can catch up with him when he is so much behind. And when his body is completely out of balance, he sends the ball into the basket with his own feel." The commentator on the scene shouted in surprise.

"Wu's speed is really too fast. It's hard to imagine that he is as strong as he is, but he is so fast. The lightning-like speed and ghostly steals are really incredible." Another commentator also said with some thought.

"Kevin, thank you!" Wu Feng whispered beside Kevin Durant before walking onto the free throw line. His movements were indeed a bit too far, but if you put yourself in your shoes, you might not be willing to let your opponent score such a beautiful goal from his perspective.

Just now, Wu Feng completely lost his balance in the air. With the last forced shot, he could not adjust his body at all. He was about to hit the ground with his back. Kevin Durant, who worked hard, hugged Wu Feng's body in time, leaving Wu Feng without the potential for injury.

Kevin Durant is indeed a very sportsman. If it were other players, Wu Feng might be in trouble.

Seeing such a scene, the cheers from Amway Center Arena reached its peak, including those for Kevin Durant. In such a fierce game, fans certainly appreciated the passionate performance, but they were even more sincerely admired such professional ethical behavior.

With Wu Feng's free throw, the Magic finally expanded the leading score to double digits. A fast break made Wu Feng seem to have tried the fun of scoring, breaking through and shooting continuously, stirring the Thunder's defense into a pot.

Compared to Wu Feng's first choice of passing, Wu Feng's shots suddenly increased at this moment, completely caught the Thunder off guard. The Thunder's joint defense could not stop him at all.

Scott Brooks watched the Magic expand their advantage step by step, and only regretted that he was not prepared. Although he said beautifully before the game, he had never looked down on Stan Van Gundy.

When there were five minutes and twelve seconds left in the fourth quarter, the Magic still led the Thunder 11 points with 83:72. While both sides' physical strength declined, there were more changes in tactics. While the offensive efficiency decreased, the two teams had to work hard on defense.

With the advantage of eleven points, there are only five minutes left in the game. With the Magic's current state, as long as there is no major problem, there is no suspense about the outcome of the game.

However, in less than the last minute of the game, everything is possible, especially a resilient team like the Thunder. Russell Westbrook led the team's counterattack successfully in the first few games, and the Magic must not be careless.

With a 12-point gap, the morale of the Thunder team did not fall but rose. The continuous offense actually overwhelmed the Magic on the scene. Fortunately, the Magic's defense was in place.

This was indeed a wonderful game, but both sides still had shortcomings. The Thunder were not prepared enough, coupled with the hard battles in a row, and the physical strength was not enough. Nenald Kostic and Sergi Ibaka's condition had just recovered in the second quarter, but in the second half of the third quarter, they were unable to succeed.

The Magic's offense today is obviously not ideal. The team's second firepower point, Vince Carter, is not in the form, and the team's habitual fast attack advantage is not reflected.

In the end, the Magic withstood the Thunder's crazy counterattack and secured the victory with two three-pointers from Wu Feng at the last moment.
