Chapter 294 Advance to the Eastern Finals
Chapter 294 Promoting to the Eastern Conference Finals
Jermaine O'Neal took two steps, raised his hands, and looked like a buckle. Jermaine O'Neal's eyes turned black, and he felt that his arm was being held tightly, and his body, which had just been jumping, was pressed to the floor again.
The referee's whistle sounded, and Wu Feng shook his hand easily and ran away with a happy look on his face.
Jermaine O'Neal walked onto the free throw line with a depressed expression. The goal he had to deduct just now was destroyed by his opponent, and he felt very unhappy.
"Clang" Jermaine O'Neal's free throw was too strong, and the ball hit the inside of the ring directly. The huge force allowed the ball to bounce directly out of the baseline.
Wu Feng clapped easily at the basket, and it seemed that he had made a profit by making a foul.
The loss of the first free throw, Jermaine O'Neal's face was even more ugly. The loss of the free throw has a huge impact on the player's mentality.
Although Wu Feng's applause was not loud, it was still clearly sent to Jermaine O'Neal's ears. He glared at Wu Feng fiercely, bit his teeth, and carefully pushed the ball out with both hands.
"Pan" the ball was jumping happily on the floor, but Jermaine O'Neal's face became even more ugly, and the Celtics' bench was also silent. Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, Jermaine O'Neal actually shot a three-no-touch shot.
Dwight Howard quickly sent the baseline ball to the Magic fans.
Wu Feng was about to start, but he felt his jersey tightening. A huge force behind him pulled him, and he almost fell down. However, the force lasted for a short time and disappeared before Wu Feng could react.
Wu Feng looked back and found that there was a pulling pleat behind his jersey. Avery Bradley ran away as if no one was around, but the referee did not seem to see his little move just now.
Dwight Howard wanted to pass it to Wu Feng. Avery Bradley's small move made Wu Feng unable to come forward to respond. Paul Pierce, who was ahead, easily broke the basketball down, took the opportunity to throw Wu Feng away, and flew straight to the basket.
What a quick action, Wu Feng secretly admired it in his heart and rushed forward with all his might. At this time, you must not let your opponent score, otherwise the game will really end early.
Paul Pierce, who was flying in the air, used his waist strength to spin 180 degrees under the basket.
Facing Wu Feng's defense, under such circumstances, Wu Feng's actions could not escape his eyes. His excellent physical flexibility allowed Paul Pierce to maintain his body balance and gently dunk to the basket behind his head with his right hand.
Celtics head coach Doug Rivers had already run to the sidelines excitedly, holding his breath, clenched his fists tightly in front of his chest, looking forward to the scene where Paul Pierce sent the ball into the basket.
Wu Feng stopped helplessly, and Paul Pierce did not leave any chance for him.
"Is it really over like this?"
It was so close to victory that Wu Feng's pores all over his body seemed to be suddenly blocked, and he felt a suffocating feeling.
"Go down." A roar, and at the moment when he regained his vision, he found that Paul Pierce's right hand was still raised, but his face was dull, and the basketball in his hand flew towards him quickly.
Behind him, Dwight Howard's glaring expression was imprinted into his eyes, and his huge right hand was hanging in the void to Paul Pierce's right.
Wu Feng instinctively caught the basketball, but before he started, Doug Rivers called another timeout, which was also the last timeout for the Celtics.
In fifty-one seconds, the Celtics still maintained a five-point advantage with 92:87.
Attack, offense, Stan Van Gundy's blind emphasis on offense made Wu Feng frown slightly, and it was true that the Magic had no way to go except for attack.
But the defense is even more impossible to give up. The five players of the Celtics have absolute scoring ability. The timeout is always so short. Before the head coaches of the two teams finished their words, the timeout is coming.
After the timeout, the Magic served in the midfield, and Wu Feng took a light step and passed the midfield steadily.
However, the situation in front of him was shocked. Paul Pierce had already pulled him directly to the center line to defend himself. Avery Bradley was only two steps behind him. The murderous expression in his eyes made Wu Feng feel cold. It seemed that the Celtics head coach really wanted to completely freeze himself.
Paul Pierce and Avery Bradley are two positions apart. The defense of the front and back makes Wu Feng helplessly choose to pass the ball.
After the ball was passed, Wu Feng had no choice but to find that Avery Bradley ran out to defend other players, but Paul Pierce was motionless and stared at him near the center line.
Wu Feng wanted to pass through Paul Pierce's right side, but Paul Pierce admitted his deception and kept moving, just to prevent Wu Feng from succeeding.
With one rush and one pull, Paul Pierce's steps became messy. Wu Feng's breakthrough had already made him feel extremely troubled. Now he is running without a ball, not only has a lot of speed improvement, but also has less burden on basketball, and his body is more flexible, so he easily throws Paul Pierce behind him.
Dwight Howard kept getting the spot in the inside, but the strong Jermaine O'Neal never gave him a chance. Dwight Howard estimated his distance from the basket. This was not the scoring point he was good at. Moreover, his physical strength has dropped sharply and his feel has gradually lost, so he did not attack rashly.
Seeing that Wu Feng got rid of Paul Pierce, Dwight Howard quickly split the ball.
Paul Pierce followed closely behind, and Avery Bradley appeared in front of him almost at the same time, in this situation.
Wu Feng could not take action at all, but he moved sideways quickly and leaned forward slightly, which was a sign of the breakthrough.
The two defensive players did not dare to slack off at all and hurriedly followed.
Wu Feng's upper body suddenly straightened. He placed the ball on his right shoulder with his right hand and threw it back hard before Paul Pierce made a steal.
At this time, the Celtics players discovered that a Magic player was hovering near the three-point line on the left wing, and the basketball was flying towards him like lightning.
After receiving the ball, Gerald Wallace took a step forward, jumped into the air, shaking his wrists with his hands, and the basketball rotated rapidly in the air.
"Swish", amid the clear sound of the nets, the players on the Magic's bench jumped up excitedly and hugged each other.
As the numbers on the scorer hopped, the cheers stopped abruptly.
92:89, the Magic were still three-pointers behind, and Gerald Wallace's long-range shot just now only scored two points.
Stan Van Gundy ran to the referee in anger and protested to the referee in anger, but before the protest, he did not forget to call a timeout.
Looking at Stan Van Gundy's neck red, the referee shook his head slightly and pointed to the large screen of North Shore Garden Arena. At this time, the scene just now was replaying on the big screen: When receiving the ball, Gerald Wallace was indeed standing outside the three-point line, but he habitually took a step forward, but his right foot just stepped on the three-point line.
Gerald Wallace sighed in frustration, but he didn't expect that he would make such a low-level mistake. The gap between three points and two points is now a huge difference.
31.8 seconds, 92:89, the Magic team was still three points behind their opponents, but at this time, the benches of both teams were extremely serious, and the audience was shrouded in a tense atmosphere. The cheerleaders' erotic performance was no longer appreciated at this time, and everyone attracted all their attention for the final competition between the two sides.
"The Magic team is still very promising in 31.8 seconds, the gap between three points is 31 and 11.8 seconds. With Wu Feng's outstanding performance, the Magic team completely occupied the initiative on the field. As the score gap narrows step by step, the Magic team showed an unprecedented high level in defense. The time-out time has come, let us look forward to the wonderful performance of the two teams in the last half minute." The commentator said a hurriedly and immediately turned the picture to the live broadcast screen.
He knew very well that if the fans in front of the TV missed the game because of his long-windedness at this time, he would be afraid that he would be scolded to death by many people in his heart.
The ball is in the hands of the Celtics. Averly Bradley controls the ball to hover at the top of the arc. Other Celtic players run quickly, but looking at Averly Bradley's appearance, he doesn't seem to be in a hurry to attack. In 32 seconds, the initiative is in the hands of the Celtics.
The more hasty the Celtics' offense is, the more time it leaves for the Magic. With the experienced experience of the Celtics head coach, naturally, it will not make this low-level mistake.
As time passed little by little, Avery Bradley was still leisurely controlling the basketball outside the three-point line, without any rushing to attack.
"Foof tactics." As time passed by little by little, Stan Van Gundy shouted anxiously on the sidelines.
Gerald Wallace quickly hesitated for a moment and followed the coach's idea. The moment he reached out, Wu Feng suddenly shouted: "No, don't foul at this time."
No matter how the Celtics delay time, the Magic have at least ten seconds to organize their last offense. However, if they make a foul, they will only have one chance to shoot at most. Moreover, this foul was caused by Avery Bradley, which is simply seeking death.
The two completely opposite suggestions made Gerald Wallace trap the contradiction. In fact, with his rich game experience, he should have his own opinions.
At the moment when he was hesitating, Avery Bradley took the opportunity to throw away his defense.
Stan Van Gundy kept roaring on the sidelines, but the target was Wu Feng. In his opinion, it was Wu Feng's disobeying his own arrangements that gave the Celtics an opportunity to take advantage of.
After Avery Bradley broke through, he went straight to the basket without any hesitation and threw the ball gently before Dwight Howard blocked. Such a skillful shot has been countless times in his life.
Avery Bradley's offensive choice was very beautiful, and he avoided Dwight Howard's block just right. However, the force of the attack seemed to be a little smaller, and the ball was exhausted when it climbed to the edge of the ring. Dwight Howard easily took the rebound off.
Dwight Howard threw the ball through half the game, and at this time the timer was beating 12.9 seconds, and Dwight Howard no longer allowed to delay.
By now, Paul Pierce seemed to have made up his mind and followed Wu Feng without leaving any steps, and Dwight Howard's basketball landed outside the three-point line.
The two were rushing up their speed wildly. Paul Pierce was originally leading several positions, so he was not in a hurry to grab the ball.
He knew very well that under such a long impact distance, his speed would definitely not be as good as Wu Feng, so he simply gave up chasing basketball and used his body to constantly interfere with Wu Feng. As long as Wu Feng could not catch up with basketball, the ball rights would naturally return to the hands of the Celtics.
Amid the harsh friction, Wu Feng's right foot stepped heavily on the floor, and he stopped forcibly. At this time, Paul Pierce, who had only humans in his eyes, immediately stopped forcibly.
However, after all, he stopped without preparation, but lost his center of gravity. When he was shaking and adjusting the center of gravity, Wu Feng had already passed by him in a flash.
Seeing the basketball crossing the three-point line, Wu Feng's speed completed the acceleration again in an almost impossible situation. On the big screen on the scene, many fans were surprised to find that there were actually phantoms behind Wu Feng.
The moment Wu Feng fished the basketball out of the free throw line, the fans of the court were relieved. Such an amazing speed had already attracted everyone's attention.
"Clang", a very simple one-handed slam dunk, the Magic were only one point behind their opponents, and there were six seconds left before the end of the game.
"This speed is too fast. I didn't expect that at this last moment, China Wu could still have such speed." The commentator said excitedly.
In fact, it was not just him. Everyone who was following this game was surprised by Wu Feng's speed just now. Especially the fans sitting in front of the audience. They felt the charm just now, which was definitely a visual enjoyment. Many fans have not yet woken up.
However, the players on the court had no time to recall, and there were only six seconds left. It was a life-and-death speed for both teams. Avery Bradley even made up his mind to not allow the ball to pass the half-court, and the eight-second half-court time limit was the most beneficial to the Celtics.
Paul Pierce followed Wu Feng tightly. He knew very well that at the last moment, the Magic's most likely to create a miracle was Wu Feng. As long as he defended Wu Feng, everything would be over in just five seconds.
At the last moment, the Magic players were extremely enthusiastic, and they kept blocking their positions. Kevin Garnett lifted the ball from the bottom line, but the ball could not be sent out.
Kevin Garnett's eyes suddenly lit up. It turned out that Paul Pierce was staring at his teammates tightly by his opponents. Seeing that the time limit for serving was approaching, he immediately took a few steps back, hoping to send the ball out for the time being. He made up his mind that even if the ball did not attack, he would definitely not give the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Kevin Garnett gently rubbed the ball. The ball was very high and no one could intercept it in the middle, but Paul Pierce rushed to the front and had enough room to buffer.
Kevin Garnett's abacus was jingling. Paul Pierce looked at the height of the basketball and guessed that he was definitely out of reach. He immediately turned around and rushed towards the frontcourt.
After flying through the center line, the ball finally began to fall, and Paul Pierce liked it.
"Ah" a roar made Paul Pierce take action in the air, and the roar like a thunderbolt in the sky seemed to be ringing in his ears.
Paul Pierce looked back and saw a slender figure burst out. The powerful inertia made his body tilt towards him while soaring into the air. Paul Pierce's face gradually showed an incredible look, and his mouth opened unconsciously. Everything in front of him stunned.
"Bang", Wu Feng's left toe was heavily on the floor, and his entire upper body quickly fell to the ground. Seeing his situation like this, Paul Pierce gave up the plan to steal, and even took two steps back and raised his hands so that the referee would misjudgment of pushing someone for a foul.
Seeing Wu Feng's upper body parallel to the floor, he ran out in an instant. While running, he tried hard to find balance in his body. The free throw line reached this distance under the basket, giving Wu Feng a chance to balance. When Wu Feng pulled the ball into the basket, everything was over. At this time, there was only 0.9 seconds left for the Celtics.
But don't forget that the Celtics have no chance of timeout at this time, and they can only take free throws from the bottom line.
With Paul Pierce's desperate shot and not even touching the basket, the referee's whistle sounded in time. In fact, the game was over at the moment when Wu Feng sent the ball into the basket. Paul Pierce's shot wanted to cross half of the court and send it into the basket. That probability might only be described as one in ten thousand.
"yeah!!!" At the moment of the game, all the players on the Magic's bench rushed into the field and hugged Wu Feng and others.
Finally, they completed the reversal again and defeated the Celtics. Now, they will advance to the Eastern Conference Finals with a 4:2 score.
Now, they are one step closer to the championship.
Wu Feng was thrown up by his teammates. Although he was very tired, Wu Feng still had a smile on his face. Even if he was tired, as long as he won the game, it would be worth it.
Now, they just have to wait for the winner between the Bulls and the Heat. As long as the winner between the two teams comes out, they can play in the Eastern Conference Finals.
The excited Stan Van Gundy couldn't help but burst into tears. Finally, he was so close to the championship again.
Wu Feng, who was running up by his teammates, suddenly saw the down-and-out Rajon Rondo and felt emotion.
"Please comfort him in a while!" Wu Feng thought.
