Chapter 152 Repel the Knights(1/2)
Chapter 152: Repel the Knight [Second Update]
After the official suspension is over, the game continues. (《》彩 7*)
Anderson Valaijo of the Cavaliers attacked strongly from the inside and was blocked by "Warcraft" Dwight Howard. The Magic protected the defensive rebound and then handed it to Wu Feng.
Wu Feng broke through with the ball, used Michael Pitrus' cover to make a quick stop and jump shot, easily scoring 2 points.
Transposition of offense and defense.
Mo Williams used his teammates' cover and then took action outside the three-point line. However, Wu Feng's pursuit was very fast. When he was about to take action, Wu Feng's hand blocked his sight.
With a "clang", he started the blacksmith's work.
Mo Williams shook his head depressedly, and was slightly surprised that Wu Feng was able to make up for defense so quickly.
"This kid is faster than before, and his defense is more in place. It seems that he can't take action rashly in the next time." Mo Williams muttered in his heart.
Brandon Bass fought for a defensive rebound, and then a long pass was handed to Gilbert Arenas.
"General" and Michael Pitrus launched a fast attack, and finally made a layup with a change of hand and scored 2 points.
The Cavaliers' offense still failed, and Wu Feng and Mo Williams competed for rebounds. Although the rebound was grabbed by themselves, they fell down because they did not grasp the center of gravity.
At this time, Mo Williams rushed forward to grab the ball. Wu Feng hugged the ball tightly. Although Mo Williams touched the ball with both hands, he could not take it away no matter what.
"Drip", the referee on duty called the ball to compete.
After Wu Feng got up, he glanced at Mo Williams with contempt. The latter didn't care at all. Although he didn't grab the ball, it was already very good to be able to win a jump ball.
I have to say that this is a matter of experience.
However, in the eyes of most people, the ball rights are still from the Magic. No matter how you look at it, you can't tell what ability Mo Williams has to jump the ball away from Wu Feng's head.
"Bang", Wu Feng easily pushed the ball into the hands of the "General", and the latter quickly dribbled the ball towards the Cavaliers' half.
When Wu Feng ran to the frontcourt, Arenas passed the ball to him.
Wu Feng waved to his teammates and signaled everyone to pull away. Seeing this, everyone quickly understood that Wu Feng wanted to play Mo Williams alone again.
During the continuous cross steps, Wu Feng suddenly accelerated and changed direction, causing Mo Williams to almost lose his center of gravity and fell to the ground.
The meticulous Wu Feng instantly seized the opportunity and rushed to the basket like lightning. (""Net 7*) But just as he was about to take action, Anderson Valaijo's big hand reached over.
Wu Feng passed the ball from behind with a wonderful back, passing it to Michael Pitrus who was sneaking in from the bottom line.
After receiving Wu Feng's pass, the latter soared into the sky like a rocket and grabbed the ball with both hands. Judging from this posture, he was going to use a heavy slap with both hands.
"Wow..." The fans at the scene screamed.
"Bang", the basket was shaking very violently. After Michael Pitrus landed, he beat his chest with his right arm and let out a roar.
"This kid's pass is getting more and more beautiful, with a bit of Nash." Reggie Miller seemed very excited when he saw this goal.
"But I think Wu's pass is somewhat similar to Parker." "Glider' Drexler Lanlai has his own opinion.
Head coach Byron Scott saw that the Magic had surpassed the score and even opened the score, so he quickly called for a timeout. If he did not call for a timeout, according to this momentum, the Cavaliers would be out of the way.
After the timeout, the Magic's jj Redick replaced Gilbert Arenas, Vince Carter replaced Michael Pitrus, and Nazel Mohammed replaced Dwight Howard.
Jamario Moon dribbled in to the Magic's half. Vince Carter hurriedly ran to him and attacked and defended him. However, facing Vince Carter's defense, Jamario Moon did not seem to care about it, but looked at another player of the Magic's team, Wu Feng.
The hot touch at the end of the first quarter seemed to make Jamario Moon full of confidence, and it was also possible that Byron Scott found him alone and gave him unlimited shots.
Many Cavaliers fans believe that if Jamario Moon can perform better in this game, he will definitely become one of the new cores of the Cavaliers in the following regular season.
Jamario Moon winked at Cavaliers center Anderson Valaijo, who understood it and immediately ran out to play pick-and-roll for him, blocking Vince Carter who was defending him.
While Anderson Valejo was playing pick-and-roll for Jamario Moon, he suddenly activated and used his speed to break into the Magic's penalty area.
At this moment, what he has to face is Nazel Mohammed's supplementary defense.
Nazel Mohamed defends Jamario Moon? Many fans think that the veteran Nazel Mohamed cannot block Jamario Moon. Some Cavaliers fans who came to watch the game on site even waited for the old guy Nazel Mohamed to be humiliated by Jamario Moon in a mood to watch the show.
Jamario Moon did not disappoint the Cavaliers fans who began to support him. After rushing into the Magic's penalty area, he rushed from the bottom line to the basket, and also broke through Nazel Mohamed's defense and dunked with both hands.
“Great, Jamario.”
"You are the new soul of the Cavaliers."
"It's time for us to forget that traitor James."
…………
Some Cavaliers fans began to get carried away and said, and they even forgot that the guy they regarded as the new soul of the Cavaliers could only score 5.1 points per game before this game. Even this guy averaged only 25 minutes of playing time because of his single function.
After hearing the cheers and shouting of his name from the Cavaliers fans, Jamario Moon also raised his head proudly, as if he was announcing that he was the new hero of the Cavaliers.
"Haha, this guy really treats himself as the boss of the team." Vince Carter sneered at Wu Feng beside him.
"Yes, I'm so proud that I forgot my identity." Wu Feng also said with a cold expression.
Vince Carter shrugged and said, "We should let him wake up."
"Yes, we should have done that long ago."
After abandoning this sentence, Wu Feng took the basketball from Brandon Bass.
Coincidentally, due to misaligned defense, Wu Feng directly faced Jamario Moon.
"Rookie, your attack is simply shit in front of me." Jamario Moon was extremely rampant and squirting trash words at Wu Feng.
"Haha." Wu Feng sneered repeatedly, "A guy who can't even put his position right actually made a big fuss in front of me."
After saying that, Wu Feng raised his hand and shot a three-pointer over Jamario Moon's head.
"Swish", the ball hit the basket with extremely accurate precision, bringing circles of white mesh bags.
Jamario Moon stared at Wu Feng's leaving figure, especially after seeing the disdain in Wu Feng's eyes, his anger burst out like a volcano.
Jamario Moon, who was furious, just came outside the three-point line with the ball, faced JJ Redick's defense and made a jump shot.
With a "bang", jj Redick slapped Jamario Moon's shot far away, and the ball was rescued by Wu Feng.
Jamario Moon looked at JJ Redick in disbelief, looking at this guy who seemed to be able to shoot, and completely disbelief that it was this guy who blocked him.
"Haha..." JJ Redick, who had finished blocking, burst out laughing and rushed to the frontcourt with his teammates to launch a fast attack.
jj-Redick missed a mid-range jump shot, Wu Feng grabbed the frontcourt rebound and scored a tip-in.
…………
With Anthony Parker missed a long shot, the third quarter ended.
At this time, the battle between the two sides reached 71:66, and the Magic led the Cavaliers by 5 points.
In the second and third quarters, the Magic strengthened their defense. The basket seemed to have a cover on the Cavaliers, and they did not make any shots that were able to score many times.
Jamario Moon, who was rampant at the end of the first quarter, was gradually beaten back to the prototype in the middle and late second quarter and third quarter games. However, even so, his performance is the best for the Cavaliers at the moment.
In the first three quarters, Wu Feng has scored 15 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists; while Jamario Moon, the best performer of the Cavaliers, also scored 17 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.
However, under the focus of Wu Feng and others, Jamario Moon's shooting percentage has fallen by 39%. Before, Jamario Moon was cheering that Jamario Moon is the new leader of the Cavaliers and fans who can replace James have stopped calling.
"Drip", the fourth quarter game began.
In the last quarter, Stan Van Gundy made another adjustment to the tactics, with Dwight Howard as the core of the tactics, while others as the helpers of the "Warcraft" mainly targeted attacks on the position.
And Wu Feng has been replaced by Stan Van Gundy with Chris Du Hong to rest.
Although Wu Feng still has a lot of physical strength, in order to consider it carefully, Stan Van Gundy still pressed him on the bench. It is estimated that Stan Van Gundy would not send Wu Feng to the court again in the first six minutes of the last quarter.
Since "World Warcraft" succeeded in the basket at the beginning of the fourth quarter, he naturally became the target of the Cavaliers' crazy double-team in the following time.
However, with Gerard Wallace and Vince Carter on the court, Dwight Howard could do the ball for both of them, so his burden was a little lighter.
In the first four minutes of the fourth quarter, Dwight Howard made two three shots, made two free throws, and scored 6 points alone.
This season, Warcraft's free throws have improved significantly compared to last season. Last season, his free throw percentage was 59.2%. This season, his free throw percentage was 67.9%.
Although it is still very low, this has already made Stan Van Gundy and the Magic very satisfied.
However, during this period, the Cavaliers also played well. Under the leadership of Mo Williams, the Cavaliers players were full of character and they had the best of their heads.
Therefore, even though the "Warcraft" played well, the Magic still couldn't expand their lead.
With 5 minutes and 11 seconds left in the game, the Cavaliers Mo Williams assisted his teammate Anthony Parker again to hit a three-pointer, and the Cavaliers finally managed to catch the score to 78:81 with this three-pointer, only 3 points behind the Magic.
Magic coach Stan Van Gundy immediately requested a long timeout.
After the suspension, Stan Van Gundy finally sent Wu Feng.
However, in the later games, the scores between the Magic and the Cavaliers were still in a stalemate.
Magic fans were very disappointed, thinking that the home team could easily win this game. After all, without James' Cavaliers, they could only become the bottom team. And they have suffered eight consecutive losses, which is the best proof.
However, no one expected that the Cavaliers could fight the Magic until this moment.
Stan Van Gundy was also very depressed, but the team played well in this game and there was no mistake, so he was not able to criticize the players.
If you want to blame, you can only blame the Cavaliers for their luck today.
The scores of both sides are still anxious. The Magic expanded the gap to 5 points the moment before, and the next moment, the Cavaliers hit another goal to narrow the gap.
As the game entered the last minute, Wu Feng rushed into the basket and not only scored 2 points on the 'Brazil' Anderson Valaijo, but also caused the opponent's foul.
