Chapter 275 promotion is in sight(2/2)

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

As Brandon Bass re-matched Elton Brand, Dwight Howard finally relaxed, and Thaddes Young obviously could not stop his attack.

In the following time, the Magic went against the norm and frantically adopted the running and bombing tactics, ravaging the 76ers' basket again and again.

Especially Dwight Howard's liberation made the Magic team open fire inside and outside, and a 10:2-10-2 small ** turned the score to 43:38 in one fell swoop. At this time, there were 5 minutes and 13 seconds left in the second quarter.

After a timeout, Wu Feng was replaced for a break.

Stan Van Gundy thought about Wu Feng's fate for a few years. From the beginning of the game, Wu Feng was treated by Andre Iguodala, Ju Holiday and Louis Williams in turn, and took considerable responsibilities on both ends of the team's offense and defense, which undoubtedly increased the physical exhaustion. In order to cope with the more intense next game, Stan Van Gundy also chose to let him sit on the bench.

Facing the 76ers with five starting lineups, several Magic players did not retreat at all.

However, Wu Feng's outcome was still obvious. The pace of the game slowly returned to the hands of the 76ers. The two sides gradually fell into a positional battle. Fortunately, Dwight Howard found his form in the inside and made two consecutive shots on Tony Barty's head, helping the team stabilize the score. Vince Carter's key three-pointer was even more icing on the cake.

"Drip", the whistle at the end of the midfield finally rang, and it seemed that God was still on the side of the Magic. Louis Williams failed to make a buzzer-beating layup, and the Magic still maintained a four-point lead with 57:53.

In the second half of the second quarter, neither team's offense performance was very ideal, and the Magic showed unprecedented determination in defense.

"In the second half, we must maintain the defensive intensity of the first half. The 76ers played very fiercely, so we must play more fiercely than them." Stan Van Gundy's excited voice was clearly heard on the 76ers' bench.

The halftime break ended soon and the second half began.

With the 76ers' offense, Zhu Holiday quickly brought the ball outside the three-point line. For a defender like Zhu Holiday, the ball control movement has almost become their instinct. If it is not necessary, pressing the ball against them is just a waste of their physical strength.

An excellent opportunity, Louis Williams quickly came over to pick-and-roll, and the ball appeared in Louis Williams' hands as the two entered.

Louis Williams did not stop at all, and quickly flashed through Vince Carter's defense. The sharp breakthrough was not something that a veteran like Vince Carter could defend.

However, it also won the defensive players back to defense. When Louis Williams entered the free throw line, he found himself trapped in the Magic's double-team.

Dwight Howard at the basket, Gerald Wallace behind the basket, and Wu Feng who was rushing over quickly, knew very well that he didn't have much time left for himself. Once Wu Feng rushed over, under the double-team of such three defensive masters, any player in the league would probably be difficult to achieve anything.

With some thought, the rhythm of controlling the ball in his hand naturally slowed down. Gerald Wallace naturally would not be polite and pounded the ball from behind. However, Louis Williams' reaction was indeed sensitive. The ball was just lost from his hand, and he just returned and the ball fell from Gerald Wallace's hand.

Before he could come forward to pick it up, a blue back flashed by. Wu Feng, who was inserted at high speed, had already bent down and picked up the ball.

"Vins!"
