Chapter 261: A good start (Part 2)

Just after halftime, the 76ers' two outsiders were already on both sides of the three-point line. The 76ers' outside defense quality was not high. Evan Turner's offense was good, but defense was not his strength. The young Louis Williams also focused on offense and was not defense, and could not bear the heavy responsibility of defense. Chris Du Hong seemed a little overwhelmed in defense just now.

Wu Feng's body slightly sideways, and his quick dodge in the process. Louis Williams' defense did not even delay his footsteps. He just made a skillful cross-border ball change and easily broke through the past. The smooth movements made the fans cheer. In the real integration of man and ball, Wu Feng's ball control skills have already reached a very high level.

However, the alarm was not solved. Although Evan Turner was not good at defending, it did not mean that he did not have the awareness of defense. In terms of experience, Evan Turner was also quite experienced. He accurately judged Wu Feng's breakthrough route and appeared two steps ahead of time on the route that Wu Feng must pass. He used his right hand in a dark way and was extremely steadily towards the basketball.

Taking a deep breath, Wu Feng's mood was extremely calm at this time. The more critical the moment, Wu Feng could treat it calmly. With a deep breath, Wu Feng leaned forward and straightened his body in rapid movement. With the heel as the axis, his body actually completed the turning movement while moving. This seemingly simple movement has extremely strict requirements on the body. Without coordination ability, if he basically loses the center of gravity, his footsteps will only be messy and then make mistakes.

Things are far from over. Andre Iguodala appeared near the free throw line early, waiting for Wu Feng to fall into his net. At this time, Wu Feng was like a moth trying to extinguish the fire. His continuous and demanding actions had already consumed all his strength.

In the last moment, Wu Feng's right hand shook slightly backwards, the ball hit the floor, and bounced back weakly into jj-Redick's hand. The seemingly helpless movement became a wonderful pass at this moment.

The 76ers' defense has been chaotic by Wu Feng. JJ Redick is almost unprepared and jumps easily outside the three-point line. The ball flew out of his fingertips. The spinning basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and flew to where it should.

After a "swish", the fans did not hesitate to their applause at all.

Under Wu Feng's control, the offense and defense rhythm of the game changed very quickly. Andre Iguodala watched all this powerlessly. Michael Pitrus also changed his tactics in defense. Instead of blindly competing with him, he paid attention to cutting off his connection with his teammates and running on a large scale. It made Andre Iguodala difficult for him to receive the pass and was almost isolated from the team's offensive system.

"Swish" Wu Feng's buzzer-beating three-pointer helped the Magic expand the gap to more than double digits.

76ers head coach Doug Collins saw that the situation on the field was firmly controlled by the Magic again, so he quickly called for a timeout.

After the timeout, Stan Van Gundy replaced Wu Feng, and Gilbert Arenas, Vince Carter also replaced JJ Redick, and Dwight Howard replaced Marik Allen.

For the 76ers, Ju Holiday replaced Louis Williams and Willy Green replaced Evan Turner.

Two more minutes later, Evan Turner re-played. For the Sixers, three-pointers have always been their biggest disadvantage, and Evan Turner is their sharpest sharp knife outside the three-point line.

After Wu Feng got out of the field, the Magic's offensive rhythm became a bit chaotic, especially Vince Carter's two missed shots, which further widened the score gap between the Sixers.

At this time, the situation on the court had some changes. The Sixers seemed to have gradually gained the upper hand. Andre Iguodala and Ju Holiday's teamed up, and Evan Turner's three-point arrow, Magic players seemed to have collectively lost their touch, and even Wu Feng's two shots also failed one after another.

Magic players seemed to have fallen into a collective downturn. In the back end of the second quarter, the team only hit five goals, and the poor shooting made them lose 8 points to their opponents in a single quarter. The Magic wanted to get rid of the current unfavorable situation and rely more on breakthroughs. Wu Feng had to change his playing style in the first half. It was obvious that the 76ers were still quite afraid of him and had always adopted the double-team tactic.

At the end of the first half, the score on the field suddenly became 57:54, and the Magic only led the 76ers by 3 points.

All the Magic players ran into the locker room in depressed mood. This was the first time that the Magic had appeared on the Magic in the new season. Stan Van Gundy also frowned. What I feared most during the game was this situation.

"Ba, ba, ba..." The crisp applause broke the depressing atmosphere in the locker room. Stan Van Gundy stood up calmly, summoned the players to his side, and said: "Okay, don't be upset. Now it's the first half, and we are still three points ahead of our opponents! The more you get, the more courageous you are, you are a real strong team. If you want to go further in the playoffs, we will inevitably encounter more critical situations in the future."

As the head coach, it is obviously not enough to just mobilize the atmosphere. Only by coming up with practical plans can the real solution be the solution. However, Stan Van Gundy obviously did not come up with a real solution, relying solely on Wu Feng to make a breakthrough.

Wu Feng's breakthrough did greatly improve the team's offense, but his teammates never found the feel, wasting his excellent opportunities again and again. The offensive chaos seriously affected the Magic's defensive quality. Wu Feng's personal efforts obviously could not save the team, but it did not allow the 76ers to take the opportunity to expand the score gap.

Wu Feng tried to attack by himself when his teammates had no touch in the second half of the second quarter. Although he could not suppress the offensive craze of the 76ers, Wu Feng scored 7 points in a row in the last time of the second quarter, which still played a great role in stabilizing the situation of the Magic. If Wu Feng had not stood up, the Magic would even be overtaken by his opponent.

But the crazy score never solved Wu Feng's frown brow.

Taking the time to replenish the loss of water in the body, Wu Feng's face was very calm, but there were a few people who could see the loss in their eyes. He had done his best, but the result was still the same. He persisted again and again, lost again and again, and such a bad experience. However, as the team's lineup became more and more perfect, Wu Feng once again tasted the pain.

As the second half began, Wu Feng put down the towel in his hand and his eyes became extremely firm again.

During the rest, no matter how much loss or sighing he felt in his heart, once he really entered the court, his firm belief in his heart could not be shaken by any situation, perhaps in the game.

Knowing shame before being brave. Wu Feng's performance greatly stimulated his teammates. He was caught up by the opponent, which obviously did not make them lose their fighting spirit.

Feeling the opponent's strong fighting spirit, the 76ers' players suddenly became serious. They knew that their opponents, the super strong team in the league this season, had set the longest winning streak record of 18 consecutive victories this season.

Wu Feng broke through with the ball, passed Gerald Wallace, and completed a beautiful aerial relay.

Gerald Wallace's hands dunked ignited the passion of home fans, who roared hard just to support their team.

On the 76ers, Andre Iguodala played Gerald Wallace on her back, turned around and jumped, and also made a jump shot.

Dwight Howard quickly penetrated into the basket, holding Spencer Hawyce behind him and took the initiative to ask the outside player for the ball.

Taking advantage of the opponent's inattention, Wu Feng lifted the ball high, and Dwight Howard easily took the rebound. Spencer Hawys's situation was not optimistic at this time, and he struggled to support Dwight Howard's heavy burden, and he also had his left foot that was almost in the three-second zone, so he did not dare to slack off at all. Unless he retreated, Dwight Howard would have to attack.

Feeling the opponent's uneasiness, Dwight Howard's left foot quickly took a step. With the strength of his whole body, Spencer Hawys did not even have the ability to breathe.

"Bang", Dwight Howard was not polite at all, and turned around and had a bang.

Spencer Hawys at the basket did not dare to make any extra moves. In the situation just now, he hesitated a little and probably gave his opponent a chance to score a three-pointer.

Dwight Howard's dunk brought more confidence to Magic players.

The 76ers' offense failed, and Wu Feng fought to grab the defensive rebound.

"Swish", Dwight Howard made a jump shot with a turn.

The Magic's fierce counterattack made Doug Collins on the bench frightened and quickly called a timeout.

This timeout did not improve the situation of the 76ers. Under the leadership of Wu Feng, Vince Carter and Gerald Wallace, the Magic launched a fierce attack. Dwight Howard's strong offensive inside also made the 76ers' inside line suddenly become riddled with holes.

With five minutes and three seconds left in the third quarter, the two sides fought to 69:60, and the Magic led the opponent 76ers with 9 points at home.

The two teams still played with a full main lineup, but Spencer Hawyth of the 76ers was replaced by Elton Brand.

Zhu Holiday is not only good at offense, but also defense is also Zhu Holiday's strength. He mainly relies on speed and experience to keep close to his opponent, using his agility to interfere with the opponent's shooting rhythm. You cannot deny that this is definitely a very effective defensive method. Combined with his lightning steal, it can be enough to make up for defense for his teammates.

Wu Feng changed directions continuously, but he couldn't get rid of Zhu Holiday. Seeing the time pass by little by little, Wu Feng passed the ball helplessly. Vince Carter missed the long shot from the baseline and the rebound bounced high.

The three big men in the inside jumped up almost at the same time, and their thick palms seemed extremely solemn in the air. However, Dwight Howard's situation was a little short of a second. Under the double-team of the inside of the 76ers, he was a little overwhelmed when he jumped, and there was no room to adjust in the air, so he was obviously at a disadvantage.

Doug Collins's face finally calmed down.

The figure of Csing suddenly jumped from near the free throw line and flew to the inside at an amazing speed. The moment he jumped, the fans didn't pay much attention, but when the whole figure flew under the basket, the fans were surprised to find that compared to the tall inside players, the blue shadow was half a palm higher than theirs, and easily picked the ball off in a state of nowhere.

And the matter did not end. Using the power of his waist and abdomen, Gerald Wallace forced a circle in the air, leaned his back against several inside players, and found a fulcrum for his body. The ball was gently thrown out, flew over his head, drew a beautiful arc, and plunged into the Nets.

"Drip" the referee's whistle sounded. After landing, Elton Brand pushed forward with his hands gently to block Gerald Wallace's sharp momentum. But what made him helpless was that Gerald Wallace not only threw the ball in, but also committed his own defensive foul.

"Swish", Gerald Wallace made a penalty.

Zhu Holiday's ghostly steps were simply not very defensive. Even Wu Feng was a little stunned and he easily broke through. The game had been played for so long. As a veteran, Zhu Holiday's movements were still so fast.

Zhu Holiday's layup helped the 76ers catch the gap to 5 points.

With Gerald Wallace's cover, Wu Feng easily dribbled the ball into the inside, and then made a mid-range shot. With a "swish", the ball fell into the basket.

Andre Iguodala took advantage of Gerald Wallace's position and made a three-pointer, but with a "bang", the ball hit the iron.

Wu Feng held the ball and organized the attack. Suddenly, Wu Feng's eyes lit up and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Gerald Wallace tangentially from the wing to the basket, Wu Feng naturally discovered this good opportunity, and a hit pass sent the ball to Gerald Wallace.

After receiving the ball, Gerald Wallace continued to attack the basket. In the three-second zone, Gerald Wallace's body suddenly rose and jumped up. Such a sudden jump did not seem unnatural at all. With the inertia of his body moving forward, Iguodala gradually approached Elton Brand at the basket.

Elton Brand's upper body changes in the air with Gerald Wallace, and gradually adjusts his defensive posture, while his lower body feels like he has plunged into the court and does not move. The movement at this time will only be detrimental foul at any time. The difficulty of defense at the basket is actually very high. Even no matter how outstanding the player is, it is impossible to cover everything. However, no matter what the situation is, inside players must have a momentum, a momentum that overwhelms the opponent, and give the offensive players a strong sense of oppression.

Maris Spetts also adjusted his position at this time. He was ready to fill in any loopholes in Elton Brand's defense.

Elton Brand showed a smug smile on his face, and he completely blocked Gerald Wallace's shooting angle. As long as he shot, he would definitely give him a big hat. If he completed this big hat, then his morale would definitely improve greatly.

I had to admire the opponent's defensiveness, and almost blocked his attack route. However, Gerald Wallace was not so easily defeated. At the moment when the two were about to come into contact, his upper body suddenly tightened and passed through Elton Brand's armpit with a slight momentum.

However, the crisis was not really resolved, and his strength was about to be exhausted at this time. Behind Elton Brand, there was Maris Spetts watching Dandan. Seeing Gerald Wallace dodging in the air, he secretly admired that such excellent physical conditions were really rare, especially the grasp of the timing he showed during the dodging process was even more accessible.

Seeing that Elton Brand's defense was cracked by the opponent, Maris Spetts jumped up and pointed the black giant palm at Gerald Wallace's right hand holding the ball.

He complained secretly in his heart, but he didn't expect that the two of them would cooperate so well. In the air just now, Gerald Wallace had tried his best. Facing Maris Spetts' defense, he really seemed to be at the end of the way, but giving up before the last moment was definitely not Gerald Wallace's character. Gerald Wallace used the strength of his waist and abdomen to force his body to rise by two inches, and the ball quickly handed over to his left hand.

"Pa" As soon as the ball changed hands, Marys Spetts slapped his right hand hard, and his body suddenly lost balance. He used his last bit of strength to throw the ball high behind him. Gerald Wallace had no confidence in this ball.

"Swish" Before he landed, a familiar voice came from the top of his head, and an excitement immediately surged into his heart. It seemed that the goddess of luck was still standing on his side.

"Drip", the referee quickly whispered: "Two points are counted, the visiting defensive player fouls, and one extra free throw."

However, the referee's voice was quickly drowned in the cheers of the fans. The wonderful scene of Gerald Wallace just now had already made all the fans in the game get up. He had perfect air dodging, super strong air suffocation ability, especially at the last moment, Wu Feng completed a great goal.

Only Gerald Wallace knows best that the luck of the ball just now accounted for a large part of it, but there is a lot of luck in basketball games. I am very lucky. At critical moments, good luck will accompany me.

Amid the cheers of everyone, Gerald Wallace easily sent the ball into the ball and scored another point.

"Gerard's physical fitness is really strong!" Wu Feng murmured as he watched Gerald Wallace pass the ball in, running back.

On the 76ers, Andre Iguodala finally used his teammate's wonderful pass to hit a goal from the three-point line.

After Vince Carter received the ball, he quickly passed back. Gerald Wallace's cover allowed Wu Feng to cut into the basket successfully. Before Elton Brand could make up, Wu Feng rode a horse and shot an archery and sent the ball into the basket.

With 3 minutes left in the third quarter, both sides replaced the main lineup. Now the Magic are only less than 10 points ahead of the 76ers, so the 76ers naturally have no reason to surrender.

Soon, the third quarter ended. The two teams played 85:77, and the Magic led by 8 points.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, both sides were still playing in the bench.

With 7 minutes left in the game, both sides took advantage of the official timeout to change their main lineup. At this moment, the Magic still kept the score difference at 8 points.

Wu Feng rushed out of the arc and hung the ball into Dwight Howard, who was inside, took a step back and hit a low-level hook.

At this moment of the game, the Magic changed their previous defensive strategy and used double-teams to defend Zhu Holiday's engine. Once the ball appeared in Zhu Holiday's hands, at least two Magic players would appear around him, and even more players would appear.

The game lasted four more minutes, and although Andre Iguodala scored 6 points in a row with free throws, the sluggishness of other 76ers players made the 76ers quickly 10 points behind the Magic.

In the last two minutes, it is definitely wise to relax other players of the Sixers. Several players of the Sixers no longer have time to let them adjust their feels, especially at this moment when every goal is crucial. Psychological pressure is also a factor that cannot be ignored.

On the right wing, where Evan Turner is best at, the undefensive three-point shooting was far behind. At this time, there was only more than one minute left in the game. What's worse was that the rebound fell into Wu Feng's hands.

Wu Feng swung his hand and the ball flew over half of the court and fell into Gerald Wallace's hands. At this time, only Gerald Wallace was running at the 76ers' half.

The domineering steps made Gerald Wallace smash the ball into the basket.

Less than a minute into the game, the 12-point difference made the 76ers' hopes of winning even more slim.

Zhu Holiday did not even make a pause when he received the ball outside the three-point line, and directly took off the jump shot, but the cruel thing was that the ball hit the basket and bounced out of bounds.

The Magic have the ball rights, and the Magic have a 12-point lead.

The 76ers' hope of a comeback is only theory left, and they are destined to return in vain.

As the referee's whistle sounded, the Amway Center Arena suddenly fell into a sea of ​​change. The huge cheers made the home team players' faces even more smiles.

The Magic continued their winning streak to four games, while the Sixers' six winning streak ended abruptly.

With 32 points, 8 rebounds, 13 assists, and 3 steals, Wu Feng's data has nothing to be picky about. His performance is an important guarantee for the Magic's victory.

In addition to Wu Feng, Dwight Howard also scored 19 points and double-double with 11 rebounds; Vince Carter scored 18 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists; Gerald Wallace also scored 15 points.
