Chapter 236 Mercury pouring down
Chapter 236 Mercury Downs the Earth [Second Update]
Chris Du Hong walked back to the bench, took the towel and drink handed over by Wu Feng, laughed and unscrewed the bottle cap, and started drinking it.
After drinking, Chris Du Hong wiped the sweat from his face and chatted with Wu Feng about Derek Ross.
"Ros is really not easy to defend." Chris Du Hong and Wu Feng said.
Wu Feng also agreed with it. He nodded and replied: "Well, he is indeed very strong, and he does a very good job in both offense and defense. I think, looking at the entire league, Derek Ross can rank in the top three in the point guard position."
Regarding Wu Feng's point of view, Chris Du Hong nodded in agreement.
At this time, the second quarter game was about to begin. Players from both sides returned to the court and prepared for the second quarter.
Before the second quarter began, the lineups of both sides made some adjustments. Bulls Jockin Noah replaced Carlos Boozer, Magic Marik Allen replaced Brandon Bass, playing power forward, and Ryan Anderson changed to center.
The Magic serves, Wu Feng catches the ball and organizes the offense. Wu Feng breaks through from the bottom line, and c.j Watson defends closely. Wu Feng turns around and enters the three-second zone and hands the ball to Ryan Anderson's hand. After the latter catches the ball, he plays with Joe King Noah on his back, and then licks the basket at a low post.
c.j Watson is a pure point guard, although he can play shooting guard. His physical fitness is similar to Wu Feng, so Wu Feng does not feel any difficulty when defending c.j Watson. c.j Watson broke through and passed the ball, Carlos Boozer benefited, and after receiving the ball, he jumped directly and hit the ball.
While dribbling, Wu Feng calmly analyzed the technical characteristics of c.j Watson. After coming to the frontcourt, Wu Feng passed the ball to Vince Carter who came to catch the ball, Vince Carter broke through and passed the ball, and once again gave Ryan Anderson to Ryan Anderson who was inside. Instead of rushing to attack, Ryan Anderson was driving the ball with his body to carry Jockin Noah. Then a beautiful pass was to Marik Allen on the other side. Marik Allen was playing the power forward at the moment, and against him was Carlos Boozer. Marik Allen pushed Carlos Boozer, and suddenly turned around and leaned back and jumped to the jump shot.
Both sides did not miss within two minutes after the second quarter, and their offensive efficiency was very good. However, this also shows from another perspective that the defense of the two teams is still not very good.
After receiving the ball, Vince Carter organized an attack, and Wu Feng ran to seek an open position. Suddenly, Vince Carter shook his wrist and the ball flew straight towards Wu Feng who was rushing to the inside.
c.j Watson hurriedly followed, and Jockin Noah and Carlos Boozer were also ready to assist in defense. But Wu Feng did not catch the ball, but moved his hand and the basketball turned around and reached Ryan Anderson's hand behind Jockin Noah. Jockin Noah was shocked and turned around and tried to block Ryan Anderson. Unfortunately, it was still too late. All this happened in the flash. After Ryan Anderson received the ball, he did not pause at all, and he jumped and dunked with both hands.
"Drip", the crisp whistle echoed in the Amway Center Arena, but it was not that a player had violated the rules, but that a player on the field fell to the ground due to injury. The referee on duty quickly paused the game. Tom Thibodeau immediately called a timeout. The Bulls inside, Jokin Noah was curled up on the floor with pain, holding his left knee with both hands.
This scene on the field immediately grabbed the hearts of the Bulls, especially Tom Thibodeau.
Wu Feng saw all this clearly. Just now, Joe Jin Noah was not violated by anyone. Instead, when he blocked Ryan Anderson's slam dunk, he accidentally landed on Ryan Anderson's left knee accidentally hit Ryan Anderson's right knee, but Ryan Anderson did not feel any discomfort.
At this time, the second quarter had just been more than two minutes. The Bulls were in great momentum in this game. They started to lead from the first quarter and are still 9 points ahead. Although they only led by 9 points, the Bulls' head coach and even players saw the victory right in front of them. But now, just as the Bulls further expanded their advantage, they lost such an important general, which could not help but cast a shadow on this game.
The Bulls were missing big men, and now Jokin Noah is injured again. Tom Thibodeau sighed helplessly and said to Curt Thomas beside him: "Kote, you play the game."
Curt Thomas nodded and walked straight toward the court.
The game begins with the Bulls' ball.
c.j-Watson couldn't help but sigh and said to himself: "This game is not easy to play."
Not only c.j Watson thinks this way, but almost all the Bulls think this way.c.j Watson dribbles through the half, accelerates the breakthrough, and creates an offensive opportunity for his teammates.c.j Watson sees Curt Thomas rushing into the inside from the wing and quickly inserts the ball into the opponent's hand. Curt Thomas takes the ball and makes a layup directly, but misses, and Wu Feng grabs the backcourt rebound.
Wu Feng organized the offense with the ball, and then handed it to Vince Carter on the left wing. Vince Carter transported the ball and kept observing the situation in the game. Suddenly, he leaned back and quickly took a step back and turned around. Vince Carter faced Kyle Korver with the advantage of experience and technology, slightly turned sideways, bent down with the trend, and his body's center of gravity was very low. He made the latter nervous before he could make any moves.
"Smack it..."
Vince Carter suddenly accelerated the dribbling rhythm, leaned forward with his upper body suddenly and took a step forward with his right foot.
Kyle Korver, who had already become nervous, immediately took a step back instinctively when he saw this. For him, it would be almost enough to prevent Vince Carter from getting a chance to take action. At this moment, he immediately chose to follow the defense.
But he still made a mistake in judgment!
Vince Carter's straight waist suddenly bent down again, like a sharp arrow, quickly broke into the three-point line from Kyle Korver's left hand, stopped near the right end of the free throw line, and made an easy jump shot!
"Clang", Carlos Boozer's shot missed. Michael Pitrus grabbed the rebound in time and passed the ball to Wu Feng immediately. The latter did not stop at all, and turned around and threw the ball directly to Vince Carter, who was starting at high speed on the left wing. Vince Carter drove the ball all the way and soon encountered the defense line that the Bulls retreated. Vince Carter chose to pass the ball again and gave it to Wu Feng who was following him.
Wu Feng accelerated his breakthrough, and Kyle Korver, who defended Vince Carter, quickly retreated to defend Wu Feng. But Wu Feng did not do this, but leaned against Kyle Korver and passed the ball to Vince Carter, who was ambushed outside the three-point line.
"Swish"! After Vince Carter received the ball at the top of the three-point line, he directly chose to make a three-pointer. Kyle Korver, who was standing behind Wu Feng, could do the only thing that was to pray that the ball would not be entered, but things went against their wishes, and the basketball was hollowed into the net.
Vince Carter put down his right hand of the shooting and clenched Wu Feng who was running up.
In the words of Director Zhang, the Magic's recent attacks are very reasonable.
The attack was like mercury, satisfying Stan Van Gundy who was standing on the sidelines.
However, on the Bulls, Kyle Korver actually made a counterattack.
He received a pass from CJ Watson from the outside and hit a three-pointer.
"Vins, this guy seems to have had sex with you." Wu Feng said to Vince Carter with a smile.
"Don't worry, he's basically only three points, I'll teach him a lesson." Carter replied disapprovingly.
Next, Vince Carter quickly gave Kyle Korver a blow.
Wu Feng, who organized the attack, deliberately slowed down and slowly approached the right bottom line where c.j-Watson was. Wu Feng squeezed into the inside line step by step.
Wu Feng leaned back and turned around a little, easily stuck c.j Watson's left side, accelerated and rushed to the basket. At the moment of breaking through, he made an extremely short eye contact with Vince Carter, who understood and started running.
The facts were smoother than they thought. Kyle Korver, who was determined to perform on the court, made a quick decision and chose to make up for defense, moved ahead of time, blocked Wu Feng's breakthrough route, and c.j Watson also followed Wu Feng's footsteps, but they immediately tasted the consequences.
With a "bang", the basketball hit the floor. The direction of the bounce was Vince Carter outside the three-point ground line. There was no one in front of him, and he took action with confidence. With a "swish", the ball entered. Vince Carter waved his arm fiercely and roared.
The fans of the audience quickly gave the warmest applause and cheers as rewards to the guys of the Magic Team, and the commentator also cooperated with the atmosphere of the audience and praised Wu Feng and the others.
At this moment, just five minutes into the second quarter, the Bulls' 9-point advantage had shrunk to 2 points. Vince Carter's consecutive three-pointers quickly forced Tom Thibodeau to call a timeout.
With the time-out, Tom Thibodeau replaced Derek Ross and Roll Deng in advance, hoping to open the situation between the two and completely widen the score gap.
After seeing this scene, Stan Van Gundy also adjusted the lineup.
So Brandon Bass, Dwight Howard and Gerald Wallace took the field to replace Ryan Anderson, Michael Pitrus and Marik Allen tried to give the opponent a crazy blow to the inside...
Now, the Magic's lineup is: Dwight Howard, Brandon Bass, Gerald Wallace, Vince Carter and Wu Feng;
The Bulls' side: Curt Thomas, Carlos Boozer, Roll Deng, Kyle Korver and Derek Rose.
