Chapter 253 The Loudest Name

Chapter 253 The loudest name [First update]

On March 21, 2011, a month has passed since the All-Star Game. (")

During this month, Wu Feng's name became the most resounding name in the league. Even after a month, as long as people who watched the All-Star Game could clearly remember Wu Feng's dazzling performance that day.

He conquered all the fans with his dominant performance, led the Eastern Conference star team to victory, defeated the "Peter Pan" Kobe, and won the MVP of this All-Star Game.

In the past month, the Magic have had a good record, with eleven wins and four losses. Although the overall record has been caught up by the Chicago Bulls and the San Antonio Spurs in the West, no one doubts that this team will accumulate and make a big splash and surpass these two teams.

At 7 o'clock tonight, the Magic will usher in another strong enemy - the Boston Celtics.

This game has attracted a lot of attention. The Amway Center Arena, which can be seated at 18,500 people. Today, the attendance rate not only reached 100%, but even there were some temporary seats in the aisle.

These fans sat here with great excitement because, because they were waiting for Wu Feng's performance, and the performances of Wu Feng and Dwight Howard.

Seeing the Magic's No. 12 and No. 27 now, the Orlando people couldn't help but think of the summer of 2009, which made the Orlando people have hope for the championship again.

Dwight Howard and Wu Feng are the future of the Magic, the former is the league's number one center, while the latter is a super new star.

Since he scored 46+24 in the All-Star Game and beat Kobe to become the MVP, Wu Feng has become one of the most popular stars in the league.

That's right, he can indeed be described as a star now.

In order to see Wu Feng's every game, countless fans bought the team's season tickets and came to the Amway Center Stadium early in every game, just for Wu Feng. For these fans, it would be extremely happy to watch a game between the team they like and the players they like after a day of hard work.

"Okay, guys, we're going to be ready to play!" At this time, Stan Van Gundy walked into the home team's locker room with a smile. Several assistant coaches stood behind him, but at this time they were all wearing very formal clothes.

Most of the Magic players' physical strength has returned to their peak at this time, and their condition has been adjusted to their best. After all, they are not like the visiting Boston Celtics, they have three days off.

The lights on the court dimmed. As the DJ sounded at the scene and the huge lights were knocked down, the Magic's substitute trotted out of the passage.

For these substitutes, DJ on the scene also gave a detailed introduction.

Next was the starters of the Magic team, Wu Feng walked at the end of the starter.

The moment Wu Feng walked out of the stadium, the warmest applause and cheers sounded. In response, Wu Feng bowed to the audience very politely, and then waved his arms to them.

At this time, the visitors' players had already stood on the court and were practicing shooting.

Rajon Rondo saw the scene that appeared on the field when Wu Feng appeared, and then he warmed up on his own.

The players from both sides were warming up before the game on the court and preparing for the next game.

After about ten minutes, the starting list of both sides was given on the big screen on the scene. The latest chapter of the Temple of the Celtics, the number one position is naturally the Celtics, Rajon Rondo, and the number two position is Ray Allen. Since Ray Allen's condition has declined seriously this season, in addition to the number five position, the number two position is the weakest starting point of the Celtics, so the Magic can cause trouble to their opponents in this position. Paul Pierce is the third position, Kevin Garnett is the fourth position, and Kendrick Perkins is the fifth position.

On the home team's Magic side, the organizer guard Wu Feng, shooting guard Vince Carter, small forward Gerald Wallace, power forward Brandon Bass, and center Dwight Howard.

"The audience, the game is about to begin. The players from both sides have come to the central circle to prepare to jump the ball." The commentator on the scene shouted excitedly to the audience.

Kendrick Perkins actually won Dwight Howard in the jump ball. After "Truth" grabbed the ball, he handed the ball to Rajon Rondo. The Celtics organized the first wave of offense and officially opened the curtain of the game.

Kevin Garnett was about to reach a good position at the low post and reached out to Rajon Rondo for the ball, who passed the ball to Kevin Garnett without hesitation.

Dwight Howard misplaced the defense of Kevin Garnett, but the latter easily shook away the "Warcraft". However, after seeing Brandon Bass who came back to defend, Kevin Garnett was not panicked at all, but handed the ball to Kendrick Perkins and then inserted it to the other side.

Then the ball returned to Kevin Garnett, who used Kendrick Perkins' cover to dunk and scored 2 points.

Although Garnett is old, he is still in good condition.

So whenever he plays with the Celtics, Stan Van Gundy will arrange for Dwight Howard to defend Kevin Garnett.

Wu Feng organized the attack, and Vince Carter pulled to the top of the arc to catch the ball. He held the ball with one hand and spaned forward with his right foot. Vince Carter instantly broke into the opponent's inside line. Although Vince Carter was no longer at the peak, his ability to read the game was among the top ten in the entire league, so he still attracted his opponent's double-team. Seeing that the opponent implemented the double-team strategy, Vince Carter waved his big hand and the ball reached Gerald Wallace outside the 45-degree three-point line on the right.

Perhaps it was because the game was just beginning, and the touch was not fully warmed up. Gerald Wallace's three-pointer hit the rebound and was obtained by Kendrick Perkins, who was standing at the basket.

Rajon Rondo took the ball, and the fans of the court immediately booed.

However, Rajon Rondo did not care about this. After passing the midfield slowly, facing Wu Feng's defense, Rajon Rondo broke into Wu Feng's right side with a quick step. When Wu Feng reacted, he bumped into a black figure. It turned out that Kevin Garnett stepped forward to pick-and-roll. Using Kevin Garnett's pick-and-roll, Rajon Rondo broke through and scored directly at the basket and scored.

Wu Feng dribbled the ball, and warm applause and cheers rang out from the audience.

After halftime, after Dwight Howard was about to get in place, he passed the ball to Dwight Howard. This was the tactic set by Stan Van Gundy, and opened the situation from the inside. Dwight Howard forced Kevin Garnett, but did not choose to take action, but handed the ball to Brandon Bass on the other side. At this time, Kendrick Perkins was stuck behind Brandon Bass' strong body. Therefore, after receiving the ball, Brandon Bass pushed back and made a layup, but the ball actually bounced out of the basket. Kevin Garnett grabbed the backcourt rebound.

Wu Feng looked at Rajon Rondo in front of him with a serious expression. No one could underestimate Rajon Rondo's strength. Wu Feng already knew this when he fought for the second time.

Wu Feng tried his best to defend Rajon Rondo, but what he didn't expect was that he had clearly felt Rajon Rondo's breakthrough route, but he was still broken through by Rajon Rondo.

After Rajon Rondo broke into the inside, he did not choose to pass the ball when facing Dwight Howard's backup defense. Instead, he made a very strange shooting method after physical contact with Dwight Howard. It was neither like a trolley nor a shooting. The latest chapter of the Temple's ball was whistled. Dwight Howard made a defensive foul. Rajon Rondo made an extra penalty in an understatement, and two plus one hit.

In the following contest, the Celtics took some initiative. Kevin Garnett and Kendrick Perkins successfully played inside, Rajon Rondo made breakthroughs from outside, and Paul Pierce also made long shots in succession. On the other hand, except for Gerald Wallace who made a mid-range jump shot, Wu Feng made a layup, and Vince Carter made a three-pointer, the Magic had no achievements in offense.

With 7 minutes and 59 seconds left in the first quarter, the Magic were 5 points behind their opponents with 9:14, and Stan Van Gundy finally couldn't sit still and called a timeout.

The Magic showed a slump in less than 4 minutes of the first quarter, and in such a short period of time, the Celtics scored 14 points. It has to be said that the Magic's defensive strength is very weak, which can also be seen from the other hand that the Celtics' offensive firepower is so strong.

After the timeout, Stan Van Gundy made partial adjustments to the Magic's lineup, because Dwight Howard made two fouls in the previous match with Kevin Garnett, and could not curb Kevin Garnett's performance, so Dwight Howard was replaced by Nazel Mohamed, an experienced veteran.

On the other hand, the Celtics' lineup has changed a lot. Ray Allen, the only player who did not score in the starting lineup, was replaced by Deronti West, Kendrick Perkins was replaced by Jermaine O'Neal, and Paul Pierce was replaced by Marquez Daniels.

After the game started again, Nazel Mohamed made great contributions to the team.

Nazel Mohamed first blocked Jermaine O'Neal's layup, then took over Wu Feng's wonderful pass, and made a quick pass from the basket.

Before the game, Wu Feng swore that he must defend Rajon Rondo in this game. At the beginning, Wu Feng may not have adjusted his condition. When Stan Van Gundy called a timeout, Wu Feng's condition recovered. In the following offense, Wu Feng indeed strengthened his defense against Rajon Rondo, making him fail to make two consecutive mid-range shots.

Nazel Mohamed grabbed the backcourt rebound and turned around and threw the ball towards the frontcourt. Wu Feng and Vince Carter were already running, while no player on the Celtics chased after him to defend. With no defense, Wu Feng and Vince Carter made an all-connecting cooperation, and Vince Carter dunked the ball into the basket very beautifully.

Naturally, the perfect aerial cooperation between the two won the warmest cheers from all the fans.

Rajon Rondo took the ball and slowly passed the half-time to the three-point line facing the basket. Facing Wu Feng's defense, he accelerated and wanted to pass the opponent. However, Wu Feng's defense is very strong, his steps are extremely flexible, and his agility is also excellent, so Rajon Rondo did not make him break through the past.

Looking at the posture Wu Feng was posing, Rajon Rondo was not careless. He made a stride in front of Wu Feng and then inserted it into it. Compared with speed, Wu Feng was naturally not Rajon Rondo's opponent, but Wu Feng was in agility. So Wu Feng could still keep up with Rajon Rondo's speed with all his strength.

"Man, your defense has become stronger again." Rajon Rondo couldn't help but say this to Wu Feng.

Wu Feng was now focusing on defending Rajon Rondo, so Wu Feng ignored his words.

Rajon Rondo also had a certain understanding of Wu Feng's temper, so he was not angry when he saw Wu Feng's expression, but his dribbling speed was much faster than before.

Rajon Rondo dribbled with his right hand, suddenly accelerated and rushed towards Wu Feng's right side, and then stopped in front of Wu Feng, and suddenly changed direction. Wu Feng's defense was really hard, but Rajon Rondo was really unstoppable. His breakthrough was extremely sharp and varied. Even with Wu Feng's efforts, Rajon Rondo successfully broke through. After Rajon Rondo got rid of Wu Feng's defense, he stopped and jumped directly. The ball entered the basket with a "swish".

Wu Feng sighed inwardly that Rajon Rondo is too strong, and he is indeed not his opponent now. In fact, what he didn't know was that Rajon Rondo's breakthrough just now was already full of strength. Although Rajon Rondo looked extremely relaxed on the surface. Rajon Rondo was also extremely shocked. This kid's defensive ability is really strong now, much stronger than the last time. Although he could play in front of him, it was definitely not easy.

"This guy has made great progress." This is a comment from Rajon Rondo to Wu Feng, but he will not express it deliberately. Sometimes, over-appreciating someone may make him lose his calm judgment.

Slowly dribbling, Rajon Rondo in front of him squatted down to defend Wu Feng, and Wu Feng was also slowly pushing forward. Every time he stepped forward, Rajon Rondo took a step back and kept a gap of about one step. This could not only prevent Wu Feng from breaking through, but also prevent Wu Feng from shooting. However, Wu Feng did not have a breakthrough, nor did he shoot.

Wu Feng's excellent vision naturally saw Vince Carter running to the basket when he was cutting empty, Wu Feng suddenly made a pass. Rajon Rondo tried to intercept the ball, but failed. The ball had already appeared in Vince Carter's hand behind him, and then a dunk.

"Oh, Buy..." The fans at the scene screamed at Wu Feng's performance again.

"Rajon Rondo dribble, but Zhou was not fooled. However, Rajon Rondo's continuous change of direction and Jermaine O'Neal's cover, Rajon Rondo finally got rid of Wu Feng's defense and rushed into the inside to make a dunk! Oh, my God, it actually caused Wu's defensive foul." The commentator on the scene couldn't help but comment excitedly as he watched the game on the court.

The game has reached now, with only 4 minutes and 21 seconds left before the first quarter. Celtics head coach Doug Rivers called a timeout and prepared to give several starters a rest.

After the timeout, Kevin Garnett of the Celtics was replaced by Glen Davis, Jermaine O'Neal was replaced by Semi Elton, and Paul Pierce replaced Marquez Daniels.

For the Magic, Vince Carter was replaced by J.j Redick, Gerald Wallace was replaced by Michael Pitrus, and Brandon Bass was replaced by Ryan Anderson.

After a relaxed free throw, Rajon Rondo quickly retreated to defend.

'Big Baby' Glen Davis had no advantage when defending Ryan Anderson, except for being stronger than him. The two of them were about the same height, but Ryan Anderson's steps were more flexible. The big man suddenly turned around and came to the basket after two beautiful fake moves. At this time, 'Big Baby' Glen Davis had been squeezed behind him. Seeing that Ryan Anderson was about to use a double-handed slam dunk to end the attack.

But suddenly, Semi Elton, who should have defended Nazel Mohammed, came out. He stretched out his long arm and slapped a big hand hard on the basketball in Ryan Anderson's hand.

At this time, Ryan Anderson held the ball with both hands and Sermi Elton blocked with one hand. No matter from any aspect, Ryan Anderson should have the advantage, but Ryan Anderson suddenly felt that Sermi Elton's big hand was extremely powerful at this time, and the basketball was suffocated by him and dropped off the court.

"Beautiful job!" Rajon Rondo went up and slapped Semi Elton happily and said excitedly.

It was still the Magic's offense, and Wu Feng organized the offense after receiving the ball. Using Michael Pitrus' pick-and-roll, Wu Feng got rid of Rajon Rondo's close-fitting defense and rushed to the basket.

Although the defense is not strong, Wu Feng did not choose to attack. Instead, he glanced at him and saw j.j Redick in the open space on the outside. So Wu Feng passed the ball to j.j Redick without hesitation. After the latter received the ball, he meowed and threw the ball out. The arc that the basketball drew in the air was beautiful, and with a "swish", the ball entered.

On the Magic's bench, Chris Duhong stood up excitedly and cheered for his teammates.

Rajon Rondo took the ball and attacked, but did not choose to break through, but directly hung the ball to the inside. Semi Elton squatted on the spot and pushed Nazel Mohamed. Nazel Mohamed took a step back by him. It was this step that made Semi Elton turn around, jump up on the spot, and easily dunked.

With about 3 minutes left in the first quarter, Wu Feng was replaced by Gilbert Arenas.

Since being traded to Magic, the "General" has not had much time to play. The first is that he is not in good shape, the second is that he is often injured, and the third is that he is in good shape such as j.j-Redick.

The game was still very intense in the next 3 minutes.

When there were only 20 seconds left in the first quarter, the Magic had only one last chance to attack. Chris Duhong held the ball steadily, trying to slow down the pace. After all, there were only 20 seconds left. When there were 10 seconds left, Chris Duhong moved.

Chris Duhon broke through and passed the ball, and the ball was given to J.j Redick. But at this moment, J.j Redick made a mistake in receiving the ball, and the ball was cut off by Marquez Daniels. Marquez Daniels threw the ball towards the Magic's halftime, and Rajon Rondo had already run towards the other side.

Chris Duhon desperately chased Rajon Rondo, but it was useless. After receiving the ball, Rajon Rondo rushed into the opponent's free throw line and flew up. Then, the ball was poured into the basket by Rajon Rondo, and Rajon Rondo hung his hands on the ring.

With 3.2 seconds left, j.j Redick missed a long shot after receiving a pass from Chris Duhon, and the first quarter ended.

"Rondo is still so strong..." Wu Feng looked at the Green No. 9 and sighed again in his heart.

The first quarter ended with j.j-Redick missing a long shot. At this moment, the players on the field walked towards the bench and prepared to rest and fight.

The big screen of Amway Center Arena gave the scores of the two teams after the first quarter. At 30:21, the Celtics, who played at home, led the opponent by 9 points. Among the 30 points the Celtics scored, Rajon Rondo contributed 12 points and 5 assists, which performed quite amazingly.

On the other hand, Wu Feng performed well in the Magic. Wu Feng scored 8 points and 5 assists, with as many assists as Derek Rajon Rondo.

The second quarter is about to begin soon, and the players on both sides have returned to the court one after another.

The Celtics, Rajon Rondo came out, and the replacement was Averly Bradley. The Magic's lineup also changed, Wu Feng replaced j.j Redick.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Magic attacked first.

After halftime, Wu Feng immediately passed the ball to Gilbert Arenas, who was standing at a 45-degree angle from the right wing outside the three-point line. After receiving the ball, the latter protected the ball to the right side of the waist and lowered his waist to prepare for a breakthrough.

Defending Gilbert Arenas is No. 11 Marques Daniels, who is often responsible for defending the opponent's best outside players, with excellent footsteps and good reaction speed and experience to prejudice his opponent's next move, which also makes him a constant threat on the opponent's pass line.

Gilbert Arenas passed the ball to Wu Feng who cut in the air, and Wu Feng held the ball and rushed to the basket. Facing the "big baby" Glen Davis who came to make up for defense, Wu Feng did not attack, but chose to pass the ball.

He cleverly stuffed the ball through the armpit of the 'big baby' Glen Davis. Ryan Anderson in the back took the ball and tapped it into the basket with a toe.
