After defeating the defending champion Lakers, the Magic made great progress in the next few days and won consecutive games.

As of January 25, the Orlando people have achieved an astonishing 17 consecutive victories. The 17 consecutive victories are also the longest winning streak record this season.

The Orlando people are now full of confidence. They are aiming to move forward with the 22 consecutive victories created by the Houston Rockets in 2008.

The Lakers' highest record 33 consecutive wins were too far away, so they set their goal on the Rockets.

In the past few days, the Magic Uniform Team was very anxious because Wu Feng's team had no plans to renew their contract with them. They had contacted Wu Feng's agent Carl Davis, but the other party said they would talk about the contract renewal after the All-Star Weekend.

And there is still half a month left before the All-Star Weekend.

At 6:30 p.m. on January 25, the Orlando man faced the challenge of the Philadelphia 76ers at his home court, Amway Center Arena.

For Wu Feng, the 76ers are considered to be half of his hometown team. He has lived in Philadelphia for nearly five years, and his parents are still in Philadelphia.

The Magic dare not be careless about the 76ers. Although their ranking in the East is not high, their strength cannot be underestimated.

Compared with last season, the 76ers have made great progress in both offense and defense this season. Especially in defense, they have done a very good job.

Their record has also been greatly improved due to their efforts. So far, they are ranked sixth in the East, which is a very good result for them.

The Magic attaches great importance to tonight's game because the opponent's defense is indeed very fierce. Although there are no super defensive players in the team, they played super team defense under the leadership of Andre Igdala. This forced other teams to pay attention to it.

Andre Igdala has also changed his personal style this season, organizing the team's offense more and participating in the team's defense. His almost perverted physical fitness also makes his defense look fierce.

The 76ers' head coach Doug Collins is not an ordinary head coach. His coaching career is also very legendary.

Doug Collins has coached Michael Jordan twice.

Doug Collins coached the Bulls in the 1986-1989 season, and in his last season, he led the team to the then East Division finals.

He was fired by his boss Jerry Reinsdorf. His successor was "Zen Master" Phil Jackson, who helped the Bulls win six championships.

In addition to the three seasons mentioned above in coaching the Bulls in the mid-to-late 1980s, Doug Collins, who was 50 years old, took charge of the Washington Wizards' coaching staff. It was this year that Jordan made a comeback and chose Washington as his landing site.

So Doug Collins and Jordan had two years of cooperation. In these two seasons, the Wizards achieved 37 wins and 45 losses twice, but unfortunately they failed to make the playoffs.

Doug Collins was previously a host of TNT TV, and in his coaching career, he was also the head coach of the Detroit Pistons and the Washington Wizards. His coaching record was 332 wins and 287 losses, of which the playoff record was 15 wins and 23 losses.

Magic coach Stan Van Gundy also attaches great importance to this game, paying attention to Doug Collins as an opponent.

This game is destined to be another fierce battle for all the Magic players.

The game started on time at nine o'clock. The starting lineup of the Philadelphia 76ers was: center Spencer Hawyce, power forward Elton Brand, small forward Evan Turner, shooting guard Andre Igdala, and organizational defender Ju Holiday.

On the Magic, center Howard, power forward Brandon Bass, small forward Gerald Wallace, shooting guard Vince Carter, and organizational defender Wu Feng.

The ball was thrown high, and two fierce sweats were blown away. When the ball rose to the top, it roared, like a rocket flying into the air instantly started. Both arms, under the dazzling lights of the NBA Stadium and countless flashes, the figures of the two looked extremely tall, and even the expressions on their faces were fully revealed in the central screen.

The two "pop" and "pop" almost didn't tell the order. The two of them met the basketball at the same time. The tight muscles and the sweat flashing on their faces became the focus of the court.

Dwight Howard finally won the strength and pushed the ball to Wu Feng. However, the ball was obviously affected by the moment, and then flew out a small step and fell straight to the floor.

At this time, the ball was between Vince Carter and Andre Igudara. Andre Igudara was also strong in shape, strong upper limbs, strong shoulders, good running ability, fast physical fitness, not afraid of confrontation, and solid chassis.

"Bang" The two of them collided with each other. Perhaps because of their age, Vince Carter's body was knocked out all at once, and the ball was snatched away by Andre Igdala.

Andre Igdala was not too sticky to the ball. She gently put it at the bottom of the basketball and quickly changed direction, aiming directly at Zhu Holiday.

Zhu Holiday quickly led the ball through half, but the opportunity he expected did not appear. Wu Feng appeared in front of him as soon as possible. Zhu Holiday did not dare to slack off at all for Wu Feng's meticulous defense.

Seeing Zhu Holiday break through several times, Evan Turner quickly pulled out and made a simple pick-and-roll with Zhu Holiday.

Although Wu Feng had already defended this move, when he faced Kirilenko, he was completely blocked. He watched Zhu Holiday hand the ball to the inside, Andre Igdala successfully ran back from the baseline and passed it to Spencer Hawys on the outside, scoring a mid-range shot.

Looking at the opponent's smooth attack, Wu Feng's fighting spirit became more and more vigorous. However, he did not expect that Dwight Howard was also very angry at this time. The more intense the fighting spirit was, the calmer the two of them looked. They looked at each other and smiled slightly.

The game has just begun, and Wu Feng wants his opponent to know who is the real owner of this stadium.

At the Magic's home court, no matter who the opponent is, the tiger must lie down and the dragon must sway. The Magic's home court cannot tolerate anyone's wildness.

The Magic's ball rights, Wu Feng quickly took the ball through the half after receiving the ball, which was slightly inferior to the defense of the 76ers, especially in the team's overall movement speed. The Magic have to gain a little advantage. After all, the two defenders of the Philadelphia 76ers are relatively ordinary in speed. Their success depends more on the strength of the group and the coach's good tactics and defensive strategies.

Wu Feng seemed not in a hurry to break through. He stayed a little at the top of the arc. Although the time was very short, it was enough for the 76ers players to react.

Zhu Holiday stretched out his arms and bent his upper limbs. He stared at Wu Feng with thick black eyes, especially his shoulder movements. Any player's movements can be seen from the shaking of his shoulders. Some players who are good at breaking through are just the movements of their shoulders, and the previous series of fake moves gives people a feeling that it is difficult to guard against. How to accurately judge the next movements of the offensive player is the basic ability that any defensive player should have.

"Squeak" the sound of sneakers rubbing against the floor. Zhu Holiday accurately judged Wu Feng's breakthrough direction, and the right wing would never be wrong.

However, although Zhu Holiday judged Wu Feng's breakthrough direction, Wu Feng was not surprised after breaking the direction of Wu Feng's breakthrough. Instead, he flipped his wrist and the ball in his hand disappeared.

"Swish", Vince Carter easily hit a three-pointer at the forty-five degrees on the left wing.

The offense and defense changed positions, and the 76ers quickly drove the ball through the half. Zhu Holiday looked at Wu Feng, who was waiting for the three-point line, with a focused expression.

Zhu Holiday's mentality is still relatively stable, he is not reckless and greedy for merit. He tried to break through several times, but was resolved by Wu Feng one by one. He immediately passed the ball out without blindly doing it.

The 76ers' offensive pace was not fast, and Zhu Holiday's several breakthroughs were delayed. When the ball reached Evan Turner, there were only 5 seconds left in the offensive time.

Seeing that the 76ers' offensive time was not long, Evan Turner decisively controlled the ball and inserted it into the inside after receiving the ball. Gerald Wallace immediately stepped forward to defend, using his slender upper arm to firmly block Evan Turner's cutting direction.

Evan Turner was the second place in 2009, but he has never reached the second place level.

However, Evan Turner has solid basic skills, threats outside the three-point line, and has good stability in mid-range shots, and he is definitely a typical player in overall combat.

If you can't find an offensive opportunity, you will immediately hand the ball to your teammates. In addition, Turner's passing level is quite good, so the threat is still quite large.

Gerald Wallace knew that as long as he didn't give him a phone, he would send the ball to his teammates and his task would be achieved. You should know that as the twenty-four seconds approached, it would be difficult for any teammate to calm down. In a short period of time, the ball must be thrown out. Even if a good opportunity arises, he would probably not pay attention. The hit in such a situation can be imagined.

"Clang", Spencer Hawyce turned around and shot after receiving the ball, leaving him with only two seconds of attack time. Unfortunately, Dwight Howard's super long wingspan almost completely blocked his gaze, unable to see the specific position of the basket clearly. He could only shoot the ball out as he felt like he threw it and jumped high on the front of the rebound.

The inside player of the 76ers jumped up to grab the rebound at the same time. Dwight Howard, who was sandwiched in the middle, finally got the space to take off, but obviously, with several players around him, his chance of successfully grabbing the rebound was very low.

However, they seemed to underestimate Dwight Howard's explosive power. They gritted their teeth and burst into blue veins on their faces. Then they came to the front and got in touch with the rebound. What was even more surprising was that Dwight Howard did not grab the rebound tightly, but used his fingers to directly dial the ball out in the air.

After spending most of the season together, the Magic players have a tacit understanding, especially Wu Feng, Vince Carter, Dwight Howard and Gerald Wallace.

Dwight Howard's heart moved the moment his finger touched the ball. He knew that even if he took the rebound, he would probably fall into the double-team of three opponents, and it would be difficult for the ball to pass. So he simply drove the ball out in the air. He believed that his partner Wu Feng could easily receive the ball.

The position is right and the direction is right. Unfortunately, Dwight Howard's force seems to be a little too large, and the ball's landing point seems to be a little far away.

Stan Van Gundy sighed inwardly. Dwight Howard's choice just now was very wise, but his luck was not good. The ball was too strong, otherwise it would be a chance for a fast break. At this time, Vince Carter was almost down to the 76ers' half, and the opponent's half was empty.

Seeing that the basketball was about to fly out of the baseline, Wu Feng flew up, almost parallel in the air. The moment the ball flew out of the sideline, he picked up the ball, and with a hand swing, the ball flew over half of the court and entered Vince Carter's hands. Vince Carter flew onto a layup and completed an excellent defensive counterattack.

Facing the strong rival 76ers, the Magic Team tried their best to defend themselves. At the beginning of the game, they could not find the rhythm of attack by defending their lives. They made four consecutive moves missed. Looking at the 11:5 jumping on the scoreboard, Doug Collins called a timeout helplessly.

The game started over. The 76ers' lineup has not changed, but the offense has focused on strong play in the inside. More balls are handed over to Elton Brand.

Zhu Holiday passed the ball quickly after halftime. Wu Feng's gaze made him feel relieved. Wu Feng almost took the ball out of his hand after the few breakthroughs just now. Fortunately, his reaction was not slow.

Andre Igdala passed the ball as soon as he got it and handed it to Spencer Hawys in the inside.

After watching the 76ers before the game, Stan Van Gundy was prepared for their pick-and-roll in the inside.

Elton Brand, Spencer Hawys ran back from the bottom line. Spencer Hawys gently blocked Dwight Howard's position, his wrist trembled, and the ball quickly rebounded into Elton Brand's hand. Elton Brand took advantage of his body to cover the left wing ball, and Dwight Howard watched the ball fly over his head, but he was tightly stuck by Spencer Hawys, and could only watch the ball enter the net.

Stan Van Gundy shook his head helplessly. The 76ers are worthy of being a team team.

Wu Feng quickly passed the ball, and Vince Carter got up and shot after receiving the ball. Although Vince Carter's shot was a bit sudden, Andre Igdala's super long arm span still blocked Vince Carter's shooting position in time.

Looking at Andre Igdala's nervous eyes, Vince Carter smiled slightly, and his hands, who were about to shoot, suddenly pressed down and passed the ball. The whole movement was very smooth.

"Swish", after receiving the ball, Wu Feng's entire shooting action was completed in one go, and more importantly, Wu Feng's shot hit, so the fans of Amway Center Arena will naturally not be stingy with their cheers.

"Swish", another 76ers' internal pass, with a pick-and-roll screen, but this attack was completed by Evan Turner.

Wu Feng's breakthrough pass, Gerald Wallace hit a three-pointer after receiving the ball from the right wing.

"Squeak", the sound of sneakers rubbing against the floor was clearly audible. The moment he received the ball, Wu Feng actually started it in an instant, allowing Andre Igdala, who was responsible for defending him, to watch him pass half.

However, he did not give up chasing and kept chasing Wu Feng. Unless Wu Feng rushed into the inside so directly, Wu Feng would not have the opportunity to shoot from the outside.

The 76ers' tactical intentions are very obvious. They use Andre Igdala's excellent defensive ability to limit Wu Feng's role on the court. However, the Magic are happy to see such a misaligned defense. Zhu Holiday and Wu Feng are basically evenly matched, but Vince Carter may not make any difference when facing Andre Igdala's strong defense.

In this way, Wu Feng does have to work harder on the court, but with Zhu Holiday's defense, the limiting effect on Vince Carter is also very limited. Compared with his passes and scoring, Zhu Holiday's defense can only be said to be at the mid-level level.

Wu Feng decisively broke through the inside of the 76ers. At this time, the opponent's defense line has not been set yet. Compared to passing, his direct attack is undoubtedly more threatening. Moreover, Andre Igdala has been following him unwillingly. If he hesitated for a moment, he might have been pestering him.

Andre Igdala's defense is an indispensable weapon for the 76ers. Although he is not as good as Uncle Bao San, Artest at his peak is also very strong.

It was too late for other players of the Sixers to return to defense, but at their basket, Evan Turner was still standing. Evan Turner's comprehensive skills were more outstanding in defending outside players, with a sensitive reaction and an extraordinary arm span, which was a huge threat to any defender player.

Evan Turner stood outside the three-second zone and stared at Wu Feng with all his attention. He did not choose to take the initiative. Andre Igdara's pursuit and defense had left Wu Feng with no choice. At this time, the Magic players had just passed half. With his position at this time, he could not observe his teammate's position at all. As long as he was a little distracted, he would immediately fall into a more dangerous situation.

Seeing Wu Feng and Evan Turner were about to collide. With their size and the latter's extraordinary arm span, it would be difficult to find a chance to take action once Wu Feng is really close to him.

Many fans of the 76ers stood up excitedly. The opponent's mistake was far more inspiring than his own goal, especially a player like Wu Feng who once made them feel heartbroken.
