Chapter 230: Nervous [First update]

Originally, the Magic wanted to take advantage of the Knicks' offense to break the chain and then launch a fierce counterattack. However, Landley Fields, a rookie, created two consecutive offensive fouls, which caused the Magic's morale to suffer a great blow.

Especially now, there are only two minutes left before the end of the game. The Magic are still 7 points behind. As long as the Knicks do not make any mistakes, the overall situation is almost decided.

Since the Magic had exceeded five fouls in the fourth quarter, after Landry Fields made Wu Feng's offensive foul, he naturally walked to the free throw line.

Seeing Landley Fields stepping onto the free throw line, the Magic fans in front of the TV couldn't help but pray that they missed. Unfortunately, although Landley Fields was a rookie, his free throws were always stable and his psychological quality was quite good. At this critical moment, he did not lose these two goals because of nervousness.

"Swish" and "Swish", Landley Fields made two consecutive free throws.

"Oye!" Spike Li took off his hat excitedly and almost jumped up.

On the Magic, Dwight Howard picked up the ball and quickly passed it out, trying to play a time difference while the Knicks players had not yet fully returned to defense.

The ball flew out quickly from the bottom line and headed straight for the Knicks' half.

Wu Feng, who had been waiting in the half, saw the ball passing, made a little judgment in his heart and immediately rushed to the Knicks' basket. According to his estimate, Dwight Howard's passing is good and he probably can fly to the free throw line. In this way, he has enough time to get rid of Tony Douglas around him.

Tony Douglas chased Wu Feng desperately, but what frustrated him was that the distance between the two was not much different, but after just a few steps, Wu Feng showed signs of surpassing him. Thinking about more than 20 minutes ago, Wu Feng was so tired that he stayed on the bench for so long, but he didn't expect that he could still run so fast.

With the ball gently caught, Wu Feng always maintained the first-line lead against Tony Douglas and scored easily with a layup.

What made Tony Douglas even more depressed was that in order to affect Wu Feng's attack, he never gave up on his pursuit of Wu Feng. However, when he arrived at the basket, his steps were not stopped and hit Wu Feng firmly. The referee showed no mercy and blew him a defensive foul.

"Oh..." Although it is the home court of the Knicks, there is no shortage of Magic fans here. Seeing Wu Feng have the opportunity to play two plus one, all the Magic fans present cheered.

The fans who watched the live broadcast of the game in front of the TV and in front of the computer were also excited to dance. At this most critical moment, it was quite exciting to see Wu Feng stand up to save the team.

Tony Douglas did not argue with the referee. After all, the collision just now was so obvious. There was no inappropriateness in the referee's call. He was just a little frustrated. He had never thought about the foul and could not stop it. If he had known that it was the result, it would be better to pull Wu Feng down earlier. At least he could not let him score three points so easily.

"I finally managed to get the starter by that guy Changxi was injured, but it ended up hitting this kid's hand." Tony Douglas looked at Wu Feng with a sad and angry look on his face.

Free throws are the most stable scoring method for Wu Feng.

Long before, Wu Feng had broken the record of consecutive free throw hits. Now, Wu Feng maintains the record of consecutive free throw hits and is still continuing.

At present, Wu Feng has made 104 consecutive free throws.

This season, although Wu Feng's free throw shooting percentage was not very high at the beginning of the season. However, with his high mid-term shooting percentage, Wu Feng's free throw shooting percentage this season has risen to 92.1%, ranking second, second only to Steve Nash.

"Swish", Wu Feng did not disappoint the fans who supported him, nor did he disappoint Stan Van Gundy, who had always had great expectations for him.

116:110, with Wu Feng's two plus one, the Magic once again narrowed the gap to 6 points.

In fact, if the "Melon" Cameron Anthony failed to succeed in the last few times, the Magic had tied the gap and even overtook it.

However, there is no if, not to mention that the Knicks spent a lot of money to trade Cameron Anthony because they valued his strong scoring ability.

In this game, the Knicks maintained a strong offensive against the Magic in the first half. Knicks head coach Mike D'Anthony hoped to lock in the game in the first three quarters. Facing the Magic, Mike D'Anthony's wishful thinking played in the first half. However, under the Magic's tenacious defense, they bit the score tightly and maintained the hope of the team's turnaround.

When Wu Feng was seriously exhausted and had to go off for a break, Mike D'Antoni was very reluctant to see a scene appear.

Other players of the Magic, as if they woke up from their sleep, exuded an invincible fighting spirit and narrowed the score a little bit until Wu Feng came on the court, but now the physical strength problems of the Knicks players have finally been exposed. If Tony Douglas's foul just now, under normal circumstances, could completely stop it.

Knowing this, Mike D'Antoni still did not call a timeout. Both teams only have two timeouts left. The only two opportunities are naturally used properly. In his opinion, although the Magic showed a strong counterattack momentum, in the remaining time, they can only wait for the miracle.

With one minute and twenty-one left in the game, the Magic finally narrowed the gap to 3 points.

Fans of Madison Garden Arena could not believe everything in front of them. With the Knicks' offense being smooth, the Magic actually approached the score little by little. In less than two minutes, they were still in the hands of nearly double-digit advantage and were eaten away.

However, at this time, the Knicks' offensive duo, Cameron Anthony and Amare Stoudemire both stood up.

Cameron Anthony first used his teammate's cover to hit a long shot outside the three-point line. Then, he took advantage of the Magic's missed attack and grabbed the backcourt rebound, and made another mid-range emergency stop jump shot.

But this time, he did not succeed. However, the "Little Overlord" Amare Stodmeier, who was stuck in a good position, made a tip-in at this most critical moment.

Under the leadership of these two superstars, the Knicks gained another 8 points lead. The Magic could only slowly fall into the abyss.

However, Wu Feng and other players did not give up.

The Magic missed another attack, and Landley Fields protected the backcourt rebound. But just when he was not prepared, Wu Feng's right hand was as fast as lightning, quickly cut off the ball in his hand, turning around and passing the ball.

The Knicks players were obviously not prepared for this mistake. They watched Dwight Howard jump high in the three-second zone, holding his hands high above his head, and smashed it hard when the person reached the top. Such a powerful and heavy dunk seemed to tremble, and his domineeringness was fully displayed in this heavy dunk.

121:115, the score difference once again reached 6 points.

Although there were only the last fifty-six seconds left, and the team was still leading by 6 points. But Mike D'Anthony still called a timeout, because at this time, the Magic were likely to increase morale with Dwight Howard's dunk.

So, he had to borrow a timeout to wipe out the morale that the Magic had finally raised.

"Danthony's timeout is quite timely. Judging from the current scores of both sides, the Knicks still have absolute initiative. However, according to the performance of the two teams just now, the 6-point advantage does not guarantee that the Knicks can achieve the final victory. To be honest, these 6-point two round trips may not be gone. The Knicks' most important thing to pay attention to now is that they must not make mistakes. While maintaining their strong offensive power, they must strengthen their defense against the Magic, especially the Chinese boy of the Magic." Steve Cole, a professional commentator who served as the on-site commentator, analyzed.

Mike D'Anthony was worried about more than this. The Knicks' rebound also took advantage of the problem. Within more than three minutes just now, Dwight Howard took three frontcourt rebounds in a row, giving the Magic three attack opportunities. Now the game is at a critical moment of every second, and each rebound is worth a thousand gold.

The Knicks 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 Magic. In order to regain the balance on rebounding, Mike D'Anthony sent Earl Baron again.

Although Earl Baron is not very capable, his 2.13-meter height can definitely help the Knicks on rebounding.

What's more, in the 2009-2010 season, Earl Baron played 7 games for the Knicks, and averaged 11.7 points and 11 rebounds per game in 33 minutes, performing extremely efficiently.

On April 7, 2010, in the Knicks' home victory over the Celtics, Earl Barron scored 17 points and 18 rebounds in the starting game, and his rebounding number was the second highest for the Knicks' first game since they moved to Madison Square in February 1968.

Now, the entire Madison Garden Arena is in an extremely depressing mood. Not only Magic fans, but even Knicks fans.

They are very afraid that the team will lose the chain at the last moment. After all, the Magic's strength is self-evident. Moreover, this season, the Magic have many scenes to reverse their opponents at the last moment of the game.

Tension and anxiety fill the hearts of the fans.
