Chapter 195 Focus Battle
[Third Update]
There are thirty-eight seconds left before the end of the first quarter, the Magic's ball rights. ("《" website 7*)
The Magic's offense is very smooth and beautiful, and the defense is very good. The players on the court can play a role. The multi-point bloom makes it difficult for the opponent to defend. The Celtics can only rely on Rajon Rondo's scoring to bite the score tightly, and finally end the first quarter with a score of 26-33.
However, with Rajon Rondo in the Celtics, the team is naturally not without hope. Basketball is a collective event, but stars can often determine the direction of the game at some critical moments. At some critical moments, they are definitely qualified to decide the outcome of the game.
Doug Rivers also has this idea in his mind. During the game break, he gave orders to several other players. He must be more aggressive in the game. When he has the opportunity, he must not miss the opportunity. If he has no chance, he does not have to force it. He should focus more energy on defense. Some goals that are really unstoppable should be adopted in time to adopt foul tactics, and the Magic team cannot easily succeed. However, if you want to make a foul, you should be more ruthless and ensure that the opponent will not be allowed to play 2+1, so that the Magic team's scorers should also be frightened when shooting.
It is easy to use foul tactics against a team like the Magic, which shows that Doug Rivers has reached a desperate situation, but this is not a bad idea. The Magic's scorer must also have some concerns when shooting.
The second quarter started soon, and the Magic lineup came up with such a lineup: Chris Duhon, JJ Redick, Gerald Wallace, Michael Pitrus, Ryan Anderson. The Celtics: Kendrick Perkins, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Marquez Daniels, Avery Bradley.
Kevin Garnett rested in the locker room for almost a quarter, and now it seems nothing is wrong. The Celtics lineup arranged almost the starting lineup at the beginning of the second quarter, which seems to be necessary to reverse the situation on the court.
The ball first fell into the hands of the Celtics. Avery Bradley quickly led the ball through the midfield. When his eyes were sweeping towards his teammates, Chris Du Hong had already appeared beside him like a ghost. His big right hand was targeted by the ball in his hand. He was slightly shocked and turned around quickly and flashed through his steal.
Paul Pierce received the cover of his teammates and immediately ambushed outside the three-point line at the bottom line. Avery Bradley glanced at him and quickly passed the ball out. After Paul Pierce received the ball, he adjusted for a moment, and then took action. With a "swish", the ball entered the basket hollow.
Chris Duhon took the baseline ball and slowly headed towards the Celtics halftime. Just after halftime, Avery Bradley rushed up. Chris Duhon frowned slightly. He didn't see the Celtics defending so urgently in the first quarter!
Chris Duhon passed the ball to Gerald Wallace near the free throw line, but as soon as the latter received the ball, Paul Pierce immediately came up. On the other side, Marquis Daniels was also staring at Gerald Wallace. Gerald Wallace tried to break through, but Paul Pierce stuck to himself like a maggot with bones. Such defense made Gerald Wallace a little uncomfortable.
Suddenly, Paul Pierce stretched out his hand and broke the ball from Gerald Wallace, then passed the ball to Avery Bradley. After receiving the ball, the latter quickly stepped down and completed the fast break with an easy layup.
Stan Van Gundy frowned. Looking at everything on the field, he naturally saw that the Celtics' defense was very different from before. The Celtics on the field played high-intensity defense without giving up on the fast break.
Chris Du Hong controls the ball, and after halftime, he suddenly accelerates and breaks into the Celtics' penalty area. Although Avery Bradley is relatively thin, he still grits his teeth and presses against Chris Du Hong. ""Net.com
Chris Duhon passed the ball and passed it to jj Redick.jj Redick caught the ball and shot, but was disturbed by Marquez Daniels and broke the iron and Paul Pierce protected the backcourt rebound.
After taking off the backcourt rebound, Paul Pierce immediately handed the ball to Avery Bradley, and then rushed to the Magic's halftime desperately.
The Celtics passed the ball back and forth, and in a blink of an eye, the ball reached outside the Magic's three-point line in a few rounds. Avery Bradley took advantage of Chris Du Hong's excitement and made a three-pointer, but he really made the ball.
In a short period of time, the Celtics actually caught up with the score.
Seeing this, Stan Van Gundy immediately called for a timeout.
After the timeout, Wu Feng replaced Chris Duhon, Vince Carter replaced JJ Redick; Celtics: Ray Allen also came up and replaced Marquez Daniels.
The game continues, the Magic's ball rights.
Wu Feng organized the offense with the ball, and connected Vince Carter in the middle of the game. After Vince Carter received the ball, he suddenly passed the ball to Gerald Wallace. The latter rushed to the bottom line and then passed it to Wu Feng at the top of the arc. Wu Feng made a jump shot from the three-point line and the ball obediently entered the basket.
The Magic's offense this time was very patient and very smooth.
Paul Pierce pulled the free throw line to block the difference. The moment the ball got, a return pass, and the ball quickly flew to the weak side Lei Allen. Fortunately, Wu Feng's defense was very timely. Before he took the ball, Wu Feng's ghostly figure appeared in front of him. The amazing explosive power made Wu Feng come from behind and gently touch the basketball with his fingertips. Although the blocking force was not very strong, this force was enough to make the ball's flight trajectory change slightly.
Kevin Garnett grabbed the ball and then shot from mid-range, but was defended by Michael Pitrus and Ryan Anderson took the rebound.
Gerald Wallace's right wing three-pointer was missed, Dwight Howard was stuck behind Kevin Garnett at this moment, watching Kendrick Perkins take the rebound, and a long pass was handed to the midfielder Avery Bradley. At this time, the closest Magic player was Gerald Wallace. However, at his speed, he could only watch Avery Bradley stand out and rush into the Magic's basket and make a layup.
The gap between the points was narrower and smaller, and Stan Van Gundy's emotions calmed down. At this point, what he could do was very small. The only thing he could do was believe in the performance of the players. If they could break out in adversity, the situation on the field would be controlled by them. If they performed mediocrely, the Celtics would control the situation on the field.
The ball sent by Michael Pitrus was almost cut off by Ray Allen. Fortunately, Wu Feng had an absolute advantage in speed and hit the ball first.
Slowly passing the ball through the half, Wu Feng did not rush to break through or pass the ball this time. As Wu Feng kept wandering on the outside, the two defensive players of the Celtics had to keep moving with his pace, and the entire Amway Center Arena focused on Wu Feng.
"Pa" "Pa", the basketball kept changing hands under Wu Feng's crotch, and his speed became faster and faster. As the ball hit the floor, Avery Bradley's heart trembled, and he did not dare to relax at all. Looking at Wu Feng's ready-to-run body, he knew that Wu Feng's attack could be completed in the blink of an eye.
Suddenly, Wu Feng's body appeared on the right side of Avery Bradley in the blink of an eye, and then blocked him behind him with one hand and rushed into the Celtics' penalty area. After Wu Feng started at full speed, Lei Allen naturally could not catch up, and could not even cause a foul. He could only watch Wu Feng and drilled into the penalty area. (""net 7*)
At this time, there were two big players under the Celtics' basket. After Wu Feng passed Avery Bradley, they were ready to defend.
Wu Feng did not seem to want to send the ball into the basket in person. After the man reached the free throw line, the ball was passed out and handed to Michael Pitrus in the inside. The man quickly passed by Michael Pitrus.
Doug Rivers' tightly hung heart can finally be put down. The peak speed Wu Feng showed just now has already shocked him. If he sends the ball into the basket in one breath, it will definitely be an excellent goal and the goal that can mobilize the morale of the Magic. The goal was in the hands of Michael Pitrus. Facing two inside defensive players, Michael Pitrus would not be so easy to succeed.
But the next scene made Doug Rivers very upset.
Michael Pitrus did not turn around and attack, but threw it gently to the left. His pass was very hidden. After Wu Feng received the ball, he easily shot with Michael Pitrus' block.
A Celtics made a pass mistake and Wu Feng easily intercepted the ball, and a long pass assisted Gerald Wallace to hit a three-pointer.
After Wu Feng came on the court, he led the Magic to a 8:2 small **, and in a blink of an eye, widened the score difference to more than double digits.
Doug Rivers had no choice but to call another timeout. After the timeout, Rajon Rondo replaced Avery Bradley, and Michael Pitrus of the Magic were also replaced by Dwight Howard, and Gilbert Arenas replaced Vince Carter.
Rajon Rondo and Paul Pierce won the opportunity to shoot a three-pointer, but the ball went out from the basket. Dwight Howard instantly pushed Kevin Garnett out at the basket and easily took the rebound.
"After being 8:0 at the start of the Celtics, the Magic seemed to have regained their feelings after Wu Feng came on the court. Wu Feng scored 5 points in a row, and Gerald Wallace also hit a three-pointer to help the Magic widen the gap to 11 points. What do you think about the Magic's performance during this period?" Sun Zhenping suddenly explained and transferred the topic to Zhang Heli.
"In the next few offenses, the Celtics players seemed to be unable to find the rhythm of the offense. It's not their fault, because the Magic's defense is very strong. Under Wu Feng's organization, the Magic regained their feelings and hit the Celtics back with a 8:2 scoring small **. I hope that in the next game, the Magic can still maintain such an excellent state." Zhang Heli slowly explained.
Stan Van Gundy was naturally very satisfied with his performance just now, especially Wu Feng, whose performance has improved significantly during this period. Gerald Wallace's three-pointer also made the Celtics' defense more chaotic, and the pressure on Wu Feng on the outside was greatly reduced.
Wu Feng missed the mid-range shot and Paul Pierce won the rebound.
After several consecutive tests, Wu Feng was unmoved. Rajon Rondo couldn't help but sigh in his heart. As time passed by little, he had to hand the ball to Ray Allen.
Wu Feng's earth wind has always been very calm. He is a calm mind and highly skilled person. When attacking the ground, he knows how to use his own advantages to attack the enemy. Wu Feng's defense is definitely first-class in defenders.
As soon as Ray Allen met, it was Gerald Wallace. He made several fake moves in succession, and the center of gravity sank and the person rushed out.
Gerald Wallace looked solemn. Looking at Ray Allen's performance, he took a step back calmly, easily preventing Ray Allen's activation. His dark right hand rushed out like lightning and gently pushed it to Ray Allen's right.
Ray Allen seemed to be cooperating with Gerald Wallace's actions. On Gerald Wallace's right hand reached his right side, the ball in his hand was just about to his waist, and was gently pushed and then stabbed.
Ray Allen didn't expect the ball to be stabbed out so easily, but his mind was calm. He then turned around and gently stretched out his left arm to block Gerald Wallace's body. At the same time, he quickly took a step forward and controlled the ball in his hand again.
Seeing Ray Allen's calm performance, Gerald Wallace's eyes also showed admiration.
"I am a veteran who has experienced many battles!"
However, Gerald Wallace is not so easy to pass, and then quickly made up the position, Ray Allen hugged the ball in front of his chest.
Seeing the scene just now, Rajon Rondo quickly ran back and responded to Ray Allen. Using Ray Allen's physical cover, Rajon Rondo accelerated and easily passed Gerald Wallace.
At the moment when Rajon Rondo broke through, Gilbert Arenas had quickly made up.
Just after crossing the free throw line, Rajon Rondo's feet were installed with springs and flew into the air without warning. The upper body leaned forward at an angle of 45 degrees due to the effect of inertia.
Rajon Rondo held the ball in front of the ball with both hands, held the basketball with his left hand, and gently pushed it with his right hand, and the ball was almost flat. It was Rajon Rondo's specialty, and his shooting posture of riding a horse and archery.
Gilbert Arenas jumped in a hurry, but unfortunately the ball flew over his head one step earlier.
"Swish" amid the crisp sound of the net, the Celtics' bench was filled with joy, 47:56, and the score difference was only 9 points left.
Doug Rivers replaced Ray Allen because he was attracted by his breakthrough ability. Rajon Rondo's breakthrough has already torn the Magic's defense apart, and with Ray Allen, the effect will be greater.
However, Ray Allen's breakthrough did not have any effect. Within more than three minutes of playing, he broke through Gerald Wallace's defense only once, but he paid the price of two mistakes.
When the ball reached Gilbert Arenas's hands, he didn't even have any time to adjust. With a light push at the bottom of the basketball, the ball quickly flew over the heads of the Celtics players.
As the ball was about to fly out of the baseline, a slender figure quickly penetrated into the inside from the right side, and took off two steps inside the free throw line. The Tomahawk-style dunk helped the Magic win 2 points.
Watching Gerald Wallace easily clap high with his teammates, the Celtics' momentum was obviously a bit low.
Paul Pierce received the ball at the bottom line and quickly pushed the ball through the midfield. Rajon Rondo quickly stepped forward to respond, skillfully controlling the basketball with his right hand and drawing the left hand to direct his teammates' running position. Several inside players of the Celtics are not speed players. So one of the important tasks at present is to control the rhythm of the game. Only by controlling the rhythm of the game will the Celtics' winning rate increase a lot.
Rajon Rondo's body suddenly sank, Wu Feng's eyes tightened, and his spirit was highly concentrated. However, Rajon Rondo did not choose to break through, but handed the ball to Paul Pierce's hand on the right and quickly passed by Wu Feng.
The Magic's round defense conversion speed was very fast. As soon as the ball reached his hand, Gilbert Arenas had quickly appeared in front of him. Paul Pierce was shocked and had problems with handling the details of the ball. In order to avoid Gilbert Arenas' aerial interception, his ball was so high that when the ball flew to Rajon Rondo's head, Rajon Rondo had to fly to pick the ball.
He glanced gently at the basketball above his head, and Rajon Rondo's heart moved, and his body still maintained its limit of speed. Wu Feng had already calculated his breakthrough route, and even the moment he saw the ball, he had calculated Rajon Rondo's actions after receiving the ball.
The only thing beyond his expectations was that Rajon Rondo did not take into account the basketball above his head. You should know that there are currently no players on the right side of the inside of the Celtics. With the ball's flying trajectory and without Magic players intercepting, 120% of them will fly out of the baseline.
Looking at the basketball that was approaching quickly, Wu Feng was also a little hesitant. As long as he did not interfere with such a pass, he would definitely fly out of the baseline, but such a pass was not difficult for him.
Just when he was distracted, Rajon Rondo's body quickly pressed up, leaned tightly on his back, and easily broke into Wu Feng's right side with flexible steps. Wu Feng was shocked and hurried forward to make up his seat, but Rajon Rondo would not let him make up his seat so easily. At the moment of breaking through, he had already jumped up and easily took off the basketball.
In the eyes of all the fans now, Rajon Rondo twisted his body in the air, and his body stopped out of thin air, his wrist gently pushed out, and the ball gently fell into the basket a few feet away.
Amid the surprise of the fans of the audience, Rajon Rondo raised his right hand high and quickly retreated and returned.
The Magic's fast attack was really amazing. In a blink of an eye, Wu Feng's super pass directly jumped from near the free throw line and leaped over half of the court. At this time, the Celtics players had just arrived near the center line.
Gerald Wallace was very comfortable to receive the basketball, with amazing bounces and beautiful tomahawk dunks, helping the Magic score another 2 points.
Gerald Wallace's fast attack awareness is very outstanding, and in the Magic team, he should be second only to Wu Feng.
Looking at Gerald Wallace who was two steps away, Rajon Rondo also had a serious expression. Among the five starters of the Magic, Gerald Wallace's overall strength should be second only to Vince Carter and Wu Feng.
Rajon Rondo's breakthrough moves become more sharp, and his grasp of the timing and choice of breakthrough routes is more reasonable. The simpler the movements are, and with Rajon Rondo's unrivaled speed, Rajon Rondo's breakthrough becomes more sharp.
Wu Feng's expression was very serious, and he focused on Rajon Rondo's actions.
Rajon Rondo leaned forward and was pulled back. The center of gravity of his entire body was tightly leaning against Wu Feng. His right hand holding the ball suddenly pressed down his wrist when Wu Feng was out of sight.
Although Wu Feng judged Rajon Rondo's intention, he could not make any other reaction at this time.
Gilbert Arenas watched the ball fly past him, only two steps away from him, and he could dare to get on. Rajon Rondo's pass is always helpless.
Rajon Rondo's pass was just right. The Sharks O'Neal easily caught the ball, skillfully controlled the basketball with his right hand, and tightly stuck Ryan Anderson on his back, and squeezed towards the basket step by step.
The 'Big Shark' O'Neal roared and pressed down hard with his right hand. As the basketball rose and fell, the strength of the 'Big Shark' O'Neal's body exploded instantly. The powerful force made Ryan Anderson take two steps back.
Before Ryan Anderson re-filled, Shark O'Neal quickly turned around and made a one-handed bang.
Then, the referee's whistle also sounded, and Ryan Anderson's defensive foul just now.
Ryan Anderson was replaced by Brandon Bass.
"Clang", the 'Shark' O'Neal's free throw seemed a little stronger, and it hit the root of the rim and was bounced out directly. Brandon Bass easily took the rebound.
Wu Feng received the ball, and the Magic launched a fast attack counterattack.
Chapter completed!
