Chapter 355(2/3)
Wu Feng, who was no one defended in front of him, looked down at the three-point line, took a deep breath, and the ball slid across the sky and fell into the basket, looking a little relaxed and freehand.
Wu Feng’s mentality during the game is really good. There are few shootings with such open positions that are biased.
After Coxinridge returned to the court, he naturally had to face Vince Carter.
Now, the two met head-on again.
Facing Cocksinridge's defense, although Vince Carter knew that it was not difficult to break through the opponent, he was extremely careful. In the first half, due to his poor defense, Kocksinridge scored consecutive points, and scored 18 points in the whole first half. Although he didn't want to admit it, if he really didn't do his best, he would have really suffered.
The basketball jumped quickly between his palms, and Vince Carter's body kept shaking, paying attention to avoiding at all times. Seeing the passing of time little by little, Vince Carter's several breakthroughs failed, and looking at his appearance, he seemed to be unprepared to pass the ball, so Chris Duhong had to come forward to block the gap for him.
After wandering around Chris Duhon, Vince Carter quickly pulled the ball in front of him, and the light from his eyes swept to Koksinrich, who was blocked three steps away, and felt an indescribable sense of joy in his heart. Perhaps this is the sense of accomplishment after hard work.
Although there was an opportunity, Vince Carter did not choose to jump shots, but chose to dunk. The Magic's morale is now low. With the team's current state, it is already a blessing that the score difference has been widened. If you want to arouse the morale of the players, the best thing is to do is three-pointers and dunks. In comparison, the dunk is the best effect.
For fans, beautiful dunks are the highlights of the game. The top ten balls selected after the game are mostly dunks.
Vince Carter rushed to the basket and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand through Al Horford, which also caused Al Horford to have a defensive foul.
"Vinccart, Vince Carter, mvp, mvp, mvp..." The fans of the audience were excited and shouted Vince Carter's name at the top of their lungs.
"Vinccart..." DJ at the scene also shouted Vince Carter's name.
Vince Carter steadily flew the ball into the basket and scored 2+1!
The Hawks attacked, Marvin Williams missed a mid-range jump shot, and Ryan Anderson grabbed the defensive rebound.
Chris Du Hong broke through with the ball, and as he threw Wu Feng away half of his position, Chris Du Hong was extremely proud and successfully broke through Wu Feng's defense line. He finally had his own time to perform.
He naturally did not notice that at the moment he started, Wu Feng's right foot had already slowly lifted off the ground, and when he used his body to open a passage for himself to break through, Wu Feng's upper body had obvious backward movements. He moved sideways, with his left toe as the axis, and he made a big turn in place 180 degrees.
When Chris Duhong was immersed in the joy of breaking through, Wu Feng had already moved to his right side, and his ghostly right hand attacked like lightning, and naturally he would not miss the opponent's carelessness.
Wu Feng completed another beautiful snatch, and Larry Drew sat off the court with a satisfied smile on his face.
When Chris Duhon wanted to chase Wu Feng, the Eagles had already completed a beautiful fast attack.
Stan Van Gundy shook his head as he watched the game on the court.
Vince Carter singled Cocksinridge, using Chris Duhon's cover, Vince Carter retreated to the outside of the three-point line and raised his hand to shoot a three-pointer.
On the Hawks, Wu Feng made a wonderful pass from Kok Hinrich and made a high jump shot.
Dwight Howard missed a layup, Ryan Anderson took the offensive rebound and scored a tip-in.
Josh Smith singled Dwight Howard, assisting Al Horford to score a back-skirt.
Gerald Wallace missed a three-pointer, Vince Carter grabbed the offensive rebound, then retreated to the three-point line and made a strong three-pointer. The ball actually made an incredible breakthrough.
Slowly, the third quarter gradually returned to the first half.
Vince Carter's shooting percentage has improved slightly in this quarter. He was crazy and scored another 11 points in a single quarter. However, in the face of the Eagles' balanced attack, his personal efforts seemed too thin.
Only Ryan Anderson performed more normally in other players of the Magic. You can tell the performance of other players by looking at Stan Van Gundy's expression.
87:76. This is the score of both sides at the end of the third quarter. The Hawks are still 11 points ahead of the Magic.
Although 11 points is not a big difference, everyone knows that the home team is in trouble now.
As the second-ranked team in the Eastern Conference and fifth-ranked in the league, the Magic did not play very well in this game. The team's combat ability performed poorly tonight. Except for Vince Carter, the other players' touch was not very good. The beautiful balls passed out could not be converted into assists.
The Hawks played as a strong team tonight. Although this strong team is more or less moist, no one does not admit that the Hawks have now become a strong contender for the championship this season.
Therefore, due to the Orlando Magic's powerlessness, the peak battle between the two teams in the East tonight made the fans slightly disappointed.
At this time, Vince Carter's score had already risen to 44 points.
The atmosphere of the Amway Center Arena has been completely ignited, and all the fans are looking forward to another scoring miracle. However, the cold data is too shallow, making enthusiastic fans ignore many things that should not be ignored. Thirty-three moves account for half of the Magic's mobile phone.
The fourth quarter game began soon!
At present, both sides are basically playing in the bench.
Hawks: Josh Smith, Zaza Pachulia, Tracy McGrady, Allen Iverson and Jeff Teague;
Magic: Nazl Mohammed, Ryan Anderson, Michael Pitrus, JJ Redick and Chris Duhon.
Ryan Anderson attacked the Hawks' basket and squeezed away Ryan Anderson made a layup.
On the Hawks, Jeff Teague assisted Allen Iverson to make a mid-range jump shot.
Chris Du Hong made a wonderful pass from Nazl Mohammed to make a layup, but unfortunately missed. JJ Redick grabbed the offensive rebound, but did not make a counter-spin, and Ryan Anderson grabbed the defensive rebound.
On the Hawks, Jeff Teague didn't make a move outside the three-point line, and Josh Smith made a tip-in.
The two sides attacked each other, but the score difference was still above double digits, which made the Magic and the home fans very nervous.
With 7 minutes and 11 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the game entered the official timeout.
After the suspension was over, both sides sent their main lineups one after another.
As soon as Jason Kidd came on the court, he made a mistake. When the ball was sent to his hands, it seemed that the pace was half a beat slower, but he subconsciously caught the ball. Wu Feng would not miss this opportunity.
At this time, the Magic players were quickly heading towards the Hawks' half. There was no Magic players in the Magic's half. Wu Feng naturally would not miss such a good opportunity.
Wu Feng rushed into the inside of the Magic Team like lightning. His slender body soared into the air in the high-speed movement, like an eagle soaring into the air. His slightly bent body and a basketball held high with one hand, his whole person was like a bowstring in the air.
The fans of Amway Center Arena looked at everything that was happening in front of them with an ugly look on their faces.
"Clang", the loud dunk sounded throughout the stadium.
Magic fans could not believe their eyes, so they could only watch the basketball jumping on the floor. The chaotic tube just now suddenly fell to the trough, leaving only the cheers of a very small number of Hawks fans.
Da Fan called a timeout decisively, and he never dared to take it lightly for the game against the Hawks. But he never expected that the Hawks, who played away, would show such strong strength, which would leave the Magic without the power to fight back for a while.
Larry Drew sat on the sidelines coach's seat with a bright smile on his face. The team not only played smooth attacks, but also performed well in defense.
Wu Feng's incredible steals made the Hawks score another 7:3*. Now, the score on the court is 101:84, and the Hawks have won a 17-point lead.
As the game started over, Vince Carter significantly strengthened the attack intensity. Although there is Ryan Anderson in the Magic's current lineup, at critical moments, Vince Carter is the most worthy of relying on. Especially when others perform poorly, Vince Carter undoubtedly has to bear more responsibilities and pressure in the game.
The Hawks currently have the lineup on the court: Josh Smith, Al Horford, Marvin Williams, Tracy McGrady and Wu Feng.
Larry Drew is still a little worried about McGrath's defensive ability. However, the former's passing and experience are also what he values.
Vince Carter received the ball in the midfield, but this time the one who appeared in front of him was Wu Feng and Tracy McGrady's full defense, which consumed a lot of energy, especially when facing players of Vince Carter's level.
Slowly and rhythmically controlled the ball in his hand. Vince Carter kept adjusting his body. He tried to find a chance to break through Wu Feng, but unfortunately Wu Feng did not give him the chance.
Vince Carter kept dribbling back and forth between his legs. Suddenly he activated and rushed over from Wu Feng's right. Wu Feng took a step back, quickly moved a step sideways, and used his body to withstand Vince Carter. Vince Carter had no room to accelerate again, so he could only pass the ball to the outside line.
After Chris Duhon received the ball outside the three-point line, he quickly handed it to the inside. However, his pass was too careless and Marvin Williams easily broke the ball.
Then Marvin Williams made a long pass and the ball flew out of the half. The moment he passed the ball, Wu Feng had already understood his intention and quickly used all his strength to run back.
Although the two were only one position apart just now, Wu Feng's step forward activation had quickly opened the distance, and Vince Carter's pursuit naturally became useless.
Seeing Wu Feng succeed in layup, he waved his fist in annoyance.
In the Magic's offense, Vince Carter received the ball outside the three-point line on the right wing, but he did not have a chance to take action. Tracy McGrady had already appeared in front of him at the first time. Other players of the Magic's team were in poor condition, and only Vince Carter seemed to have regained his touch. The task given by Larry Drew to Tracy McGrady was very simple, that is, try to limit Vince Carter's score.
Chris Duhon quickly pulled to the outside line when he saw the opportunity and made a simple pick-and-roll with Vince Carter. After Vince Carter broke into the inside, he decisively threw the ball out.
"Swish", the ball entered.
The Hawks attacked, Wu Feng broke through with the ball, made a wonderful pass by Tracy McGrady, and Tracy McGrady hung the ball into the inside again. Al Horford turned his hand and made a layup, but Dwight Howard gave the shot, and Ryan Anderson took off the defensive rebound.
Vince Carter passed the ball from outside the three-point line to Gerald Wallace. The Hawks quickly replaced defense, and Marvin Williams followed decisively, forcing Gerald Wallace's shooting and basket action to be stopped.
Vince Carter got the ball again near the free throw line, but he seemed to have no intention of taking action. His right hand holding the ball quickly threw out. The moment Tracy McGrady's center of gravity moved slightly, a flash of light flashed in Vince Carter's eyes, and his right hand was withdrawn, jumped up, and the whole movement was flowing without any stagnation.
Tracy McGrady's reaction was very fast. When Vince Carter got up, he had already adjusted his center of gravity. Unfortunately, Vince Carter's ball floated and shot.
With a "swish", Tracy McGrady shook her head helplessly. He still admired his cousin very much.
I thought Vince Carter was going toward the late stage of his career just like himself, but since the second spring of last season, Vince Carter has been in a pretty good shape this season.
With Vince Carter scoring this goal, the Magic tied the score to 107:94, only 13 points behind the Hawks.
The Hawks' offense ended in failure again. Larry Drew immediately sat upright, and a trace of worry arose from the bottom of his heart. At this moment, there were 4 minutes and 23 seconds left in the whole game, and the Hawks only led the opponent by 13 points. If the Hawks did not fight back, the Magic would easily catch up with the score.
Just as Larry Drew watched everything on the court nervously, Vince Carter hit another goal from outside the three-point line.
107:97, the Hawks only lead the opponent by 10 points.
Larry Drew immediately shouted a pause to prevent the situation from worsening.
Larry Drew carefully analyzed the trends of both sides on the tactical board. He was not satisfied with the current advantage the Hawks have. After all, the opponent is extraordinary, with the best shooting guard in the league and the gold medal coach with eleven championship rings, the Magic are something that no team dares to underestimate.
After the timeout, Wu Feng was temporarily replaced, and Jeff Teague was replaced by him. Cocksinridge also came up and replaced Marvin Williams.
After Wu Feng left the court, the person in charge of defending Vince Carter was Coxinrich. Although Coxinrich was younger, he was also troubled by injuries before, so his footsteps were obviously not as fast as Vince Carter, and he was successfully attacked by Vince Carter.
The Magic once narrowed the gap, but fortunately, Koksinridge was like a mainstay and also scored consecutively on Vince Carter's head, keeping the gap in double digits.
Seeing Vince Carter gradually showing off his momentum, Larry Drew was not panicked at all. He knew very well that a person could not defeat a team.
With 2 minutes and 50 seconds left in the game, Larry Drew called another timeout. At this moment, the score between the two sides was 110:101, and the Hawks were still 9 points ahead.
After the timeout, Wu Feng replaced Cocksinridge and formed a two-point guard lineup with Jeff Teague, while Marvin Williams also replaced Tracy McGrady.
The game continues and the decisive moment is coming!
As soon as the game continued, the Magic team launched a fierce attack.
To be continued...
