: One rises and the other rises

After the timeout called by Mike D'Anthony ended, Stan Van Gundy naturally replaced Wu Feng, who had been resting for nearly twenty-five minutes. ("7*

Not only Wu Feng went up, but even Vince Carter, who had been resting off the court before, also went up.

"The Magic's defense was very good just now. Under their tenacious defense, in the past few minutes, the Knicks' offense almost completely lost its rhythm. And D'Antoni just called a timeout as the score difference gradually narrowed. Now that the timeout is over, Wu Feng and Carter are coming up. It seems that with Wu Feng and the two of them playing, the Magic are going to start a counterattack battle." Sun Zhenping commented.

"Actually, D'Antoni wanted to continue to expand the score difference before Wu Feng came on the court. But unexpectedly, after losing Wu Feng, the Magic team became more and more tenacious and narrowed the score difference." Xu Jiping said with a smile.

However, Stan Van Gundy was not overly optimistic about the team's performance just now. With a big score lead, the Knicks players will naturally undergo some subtle changes in their mentality, giving the Magic a chance to take advantage of.

Mike D'Anthony's previous call was quite timely, so the Knicks still have an advantage when facing the Magic.

Vince Carter quickly led the ball through the half, and his first pass target was naturally Wu Feng. However, since he came on the court, Landley Fields has been firmly following him. Among the current members of the Knicks, he has a good defense and is also good at creating offensive fouls.

Although Landley Fields was a rookie last year, his consciousness and defense were very good. Although he played at the shooting guard position, Wu Feng was 1.98 meters tall, so at this critical moment, Mike D'Antoni naturally handed over the heavy responsibility of defense to him.

In addition to Landley Fields, other Knicks players can go forward to defend at any time.

Wu Feng's effect after he came on the court was very obvious. The Knicks had at least two players' attention on him at any time. In addition, Dwight Howard, who is in the inside, also needs to assist in defense. The Knicks' regional joint defense tactics still have loopholes at the moment. ("7*"

Vince Carter quickly handed the ball to Gerald Wallace, who made a mid-range shot.

Gerald Wallace's goal was very important. After Wu Feng came on the court, the Knicks' main defensive target had already been on Wu Feng, but with his hit, the Knicks had to pay more attention to other Magic players. In this way, Wu Feng's pressure was much smaller.

Especially Vince Carter and Gerald Wallace, both of whom were at least top or first-class stars. Gerald Wallace was selected for the All-Star Game last season.

"Melon" Cameron Anthony's mid-range shot missed, and the ball rights returned to the Magic again. Vince Carter made a sneak attack from outside the three-point line. The Magic scored five points in a row within half a minute, narrowing the gap between the two sides to 3 points.

Now, there are only a few more than twenty seconds left before the end of the third quarter, and the Knicks still have a chance to attack.

Tony Douglas just passed half of the ball possession and handed it to Cameron Anthony, who is good at singles.

"Melon" grabbed the ball with one hand and faced Gerald Wallace's defense. He first hit the forward with his right foot twice, then took a step back and made a jump shot.

Cameron Anthony's shooting is very standard, like a textbook.

With a "swish", the "melon" hit the mid-range shot again.

Mike D'Anthony wiped his sweat and still didn't dare to relax. In recent times, although the Magic have not made a crazy counterattack, they have caused great trouble to the Knicks with their tenacious defense.

Now, Wu Feng's appearance has made Mike D'Anthony feel even more uncomfortable. Fortunately, Cameron Anthony is still as stable as ever, helping the Knicks stabilize the situation on the court.

Mike D'Anthony can't help but be very satisfied with the team's signing this time. ("7*

Last summer, after the Knicks offered a high price to recruit Sir Si, the team's offense immediately improved. However, the team's performance unexpectedly did not improve, which is why the Knicks have been pursuing the "melon" Cameron Anthony.

89:84, Cameron Anthony's mid-range shot helped the Knicks widen the gap to 5 points.

However, the ‘Melon’ does not seem to look at the timer, which left the Magic’s offensive time for about 5 after the success.

The Magic did not pause at all, and Brandon Bass quickly sent the ball to Wu Feng's hand. From the moment Wu Feng received the ball, Tony Douglas has been surrounding Wu Feng's face, trying every means to prevent Wu Feng from bringing the ball to the frontcourt.

After all, there are only the last 5 seconds left, so the opponent cannot complete another attack!

Wu Feng didn't want to waste time in his hands anymore, so he passed the ball directly, and the ball came to Vince Carter, who had passed half of the game.

Vince Carter found that Landley Fields had followed, so he passed the ball without hesitation.

There are still the last 2.1 seconds left!

The ball was in Dwight Howard's hand, and the "Warcraft" forced Earl Baron to hit Earl Baron, and a half-turned hook shot it out.

As soon as the ball was out of hand, the whistle sounded at the end of this quarter.

Although Dwight Howard's goal is not the goal that determines the team's victory or defeat, fans at Madison Garden Arena, including players from both sides, are paying attention to whether the goal will be scored.

With a "swish", the ball hollowed into the net!

89:86, with Dwight Howard's buzzer-beating shot, the Magic narrowed the gap to 3 points at the end of the third quarter.

"Ah..." Dwight Howard yelled, then celebrating with his teammates around him.

"Man, you're so great." Wu Feng and Dwight Howard celebrated with their chests, put their right hand on Dwight Howard's shoulders and walked towards the Magic's rest area together.

"Is there any physical strength?" Seeing Wu Feng coming over, Stan Van Gundy stopped chatting with the assistant coach, came to Wu Feng, and asked him with concern.

Wu Feng smiled and shook his head, saying, "No problem."

Stan Van Gundy looked at Wu Feng. In fact, he understood that the questions he asked were vain. Because even if Wu Feng felt that there was something wrong with his physical strength, he would not say it easily.

"Let's take a break in the first few minutes of the fourth quarter!" Stan Van Gundy said to Wu Feng in an unquestionable tone.

Wu Feng was stunned for a moment, then nodded helplessly.

The team is now in a counterattack, and he really wants to be on the court to help the team overtake the score. However, Stan Van Gundy's unquestionable tone could only let him sit on the bench helplessly.

In the first few minutes of the last quarter of the game, not only Wu Feng stayed off the court to rest, but even Dwight Howard and Vince Carter stayed off the court to rest.

The Magic currently have two starting players, Brandon Bass and Gerald Wallace.

"Bang", a more dramatic scene appeared on the field.

Tony Douglas steals Chris Duhon and launches a fast break. After halftime, he throws the ball to "Melon" Cameron Anthony.

At this time, the Magic had no defensive player at halftime. So, in order to dampen the Magic's morale and increase his morale, Cameron Anthony wanted to complete this fast break with a beautiful dunk.

However, the movements were done very beautifully and domineeringly, but the ball was knocked away.

"Oh, the cake seller, how could this happen?" A Knicks fan wearing the 'melon' Cameron Anthony No. 7 jersey said disappointedly, holding his head.

"This goal is so disappointing. This should be a good opportunity to hit the opponent!" Another Knicks fan sighed.

"Melo, come on, put it in." A hardcore female fan of "Melo" called Cameron Anthony's name intimately and cheered.

However, her cheering did not allow Cameron Anthony to make up for the dunk basketball. Because the Magic players who returned to defense had already won the backcourt rebound.

"jj!" Brandon Bass yelled after grabbing the backcourt rebound and passed the ball to Chris Duhong, allowing him to organize the team's fast break.

"Zi", Landley Fields' finger touched the basketball, but it did not completely change the trajectory of the basketball.

Chris Duhon jumped up with all his strength and caught Brandon Bass' pass.

"Gerard!" After Chris Duhon received the ball, he did not dribble. Instead, he saw that Gerald Wallace had run out of the open position in the Knicks' half, so he quickly passed the ball out.

"Good ball!" Wu Feng slapped his thighs off the court and shouted excitedly.

"Bang", after Gerald Wallace received the ball with both hands, he made a little adjustment, and then threw the ball out.

The Magic's offensive and defensive conversion this time was very fast, and it took less than six seconds, and the ball did not last more than two seconds in the hands of any player.

"Swish", Gerald Wallace's open three-pointer hit unexpectedly, and the Nets brought up when the basketball hits, jumping like waves in the air.

95:94, Gerald Wallace's deadly three-pointer directly helped the Magic narrow the gap to 1 point.

"That's great." Wu Feng stood up excitedly and waved flags and cheered for his teammates.

"It's not good, I have to call a timeout." Mike D'Anthony immediately called a timeout without hesitation. This was the first timeout for both teams in the fourth quarter.

Now, the Magic team has united and has improved their morale. And the Knicks have indeed lost morale.

This is the morale.
