Chapter 259 The second update of the first playoffs

The first playoff game between the Magic and the Sixers is that TNT will be broadcast live across the United States, and the commentators of this game are Bill Walton and Steve Cole.

The packed Amway Center Arena is filled with a festive atmosphere.

The entire Amway Center Arena is filled with a festive atmosphere, and the fans are excited.

The Magic's starting lineup appeared on the big screen on the scene, and their exciting scenes in the game were also being played on the big screen.

Center Dwight Howard, power forward Brandon Bass, small forward Gerald Wallace, shooting guard Vince Carter, and organizational defender Wu Feng.

Then, the starting lineup of the 76ers also came out, center Spencer Hawys, power forward Elton Brand, small forward Andre Iguodala, shooting guard Evan Turner, and organization guard Ju Holiday.

Then, the starting players on both sides came to the court, and the referee on duty was checking the basketball.

The referee looked at Dwight Howard and Spencer Hawyth and asked if they were ready to jump.

When both of them gave positive answers, the highly-watched playoffs are about to begin.

"Drip", as the referee blew the whistle in his mouth, the orange basketball quickly rose into the air.

The two big men suddenly jumped up. Perhaps because of their height advantage, Spencer Hawyth actually jumped into the outstanding "World of the Bounce", helping the 76ers win the first opportunity to attack.

At the beginning of the game, the 76ers turned around and launched a fierce attack on the Magic. Andre Iguodala became the offensive force of the entire team, and he finally started several consecutive attacks.

With a "swish", Andre Iguodala made a wonderful pass and assisted Evan Turner to make a three-pointer from the left wing.

Taking advantage of Vince Carter's missed shot, the Sixers made another beautiful fast break, forming a three-on-one situation at the basket, and Elton Brand scored a layup from the left bottom line.

Taking advantage of the Magic's serve, Stan Van Gundy shouted on the sidelines: "Wu, control the rhythm and ensure the success rate of the offense."

Wu Feng waved to him and took the ball from Vince Carter. In fact, Stan Van Gundy didn't need to command it on the sidelines. Wu Feng himself knew that the two attacks just now were indeed a bit hasty, and his defense after the attack seemed a little slower, and the opponent chased him five points behind the butt.

The person responsible for defending Wu Feng was Zhu Holiday. Wu Feng did not force a breakthrough, and Gerald Wallace's pick-and-roll allowed him to find another shortcut to break through.

A vertical cut broke through Gerald Wallace's right side, and made a mid-range shot from the right wing forty-five degrees.

"Wu Feng will generally not lose such a chance ball. If the Magic want to go further in the playoffs, they must open the Wu Feng point. If such an opportunity occurs, Wu Feng should be more selfless." Zhang Zhixin from cca.v5 said with sighing.

This season, the 76ers not only improved in offense, but also significantly improved in the quality of defense.

In the next few rounds, neither side scored. Vince Carter's baseline breakthrough layup was also pushed directly from behind by Andre Iguodala, who had excellent defense, to the rebound.

At the critical moment, Evan Turner, the second pick of the 76ers this season, made another contribution. Under Vince Carter's close-fitting defense, he made a jump shot from the right wing.

Stan Van Gundy saw that the 76ers' offensive was so strong, but the Magic did not make their own attack, so he called a timeout in desperation.

"Everyone's defense has done a good job, but it has lost our foundation. In order to go further in the playoffs, defense has always been the first priority of the team. But the reason why we have always emphasized defense before is that the team's offense has always reassured me, but look at what your offense has become."

In the playoffs, Stan Van Gundy was most worried about the team's defense. He has always been quite confident in offense, because Dwight Howard, Wu Feng, Vince Carter and Gerald Wallace are all good scoring players.

With the overall weak team's offense, Stan Van Gundy still placed his hopes on Wu Feng. He ordered the players on the court to try their best to create more scoring opportunities for Wu Feng.

After the game started again, the ball was in the hands of the Magic. Wu Feng quickly started after receiving the ball on the right wing. At this time, only Zhu Holiday was defending in front of him.

Zhu Holiday's defensive posture is good, and his expression is also very serious, but his spirits are a little too tight, and his movements are slightly deformed. Defense has never been his strength, especially when encountering a player like Wu Feng, the tension in his heart is inevitable. However, his expression fell into Wu Feng's eyes, and an idea suddenly appeared in his mind.

A very realistic and fake action made Zhu Holiday nervous for a moment, his body's center of gravity increased rapidly, and the ball quickly raised over his head. The movement just now had already made Zhu Holiday fight with all his weapons. Before Wu Feng's movement could be done, his whole body had already risen into the air.

Looking at the basketball that was gradually getting bigger, Zhu Holiday felt bitter in his heart, but he didn't expect Wu Feng's fake moves to be so realistic.

"Drip" "Swish" the referee's whistle sounded. When Wu Feng lost his balance in the air, he shot the ball towards the basket. The good feel made the shot that had deformed his movements still penetrated into the basket.

The stable performance on the free throw line made any player who fouled Wu Feng secretly complain in private.

Zhu Holiday broke through, but the ball was cut off by Wu Feng again. However, this time, the Magic could not launch a fast break because there were two 76ers players in the 76ers half.

Before Wu Feng broke through, Vince Carter had already cut from the left wing to the basket. As Wu Feng rushed to the basket with a whip, the 76ers' defense immediately contracted to the inside. In a blink of an eye, three defensive players were concentrated in the inside. Wu Feng seemed to have a head on his back, and the ball was quickly thrown from his right shoulder.

The heavy footsteps made the 76ers' players' scalp numb, and Gerald Wallace suddenly appeared behind Wu Feng.

"Swish", the ball fell steadily into the Nets, causing waves of white waves.

He clapped his hands gently, then quickly passed by and went into defense. Looking at Wu Feng's agile back, Gerald Wallace's heart was full of thoughts.

Gerald Wallace's distraction made Andre Iguodala run out of the open space, and a dry land pulled the onion and the ball entered the net.

Gerald Wallace smiled awkwardly and waved his right hand a few times. He was distracted during the game. For the old player Gerald Wallace, it can only be regarded as a relatively low-level mistake.

The game between the two sides is still going on.

Regarding this phenomenon, the live commentator Steve Cole said: "The current style of the 76ers is reasonable, but for them, such a fast pace of the game is quite unfavorable for the 76ers. With such a fast pace, Elton Brand always chases the team desperately, and when it is offensive, it is impossible to support the team in the inside, and it is difficult to master offensive rebounds. Elton Brand has excellent physical conditions and his skills are all

There are only a handful of power forwards, but his biggest problem is that it appears in physical strength. Especially in such a fast-paced game, Elton Brand not only consumes physical strength, but also makes it difficult for him to integrate into the team's offensive system, but will become a burden to the team. So Doug Collins now has only two ways, one is to control the rhythm of the game, and the second is to simply let Elton Brand sit on the bench, save his strength and wait for the opportunity, and give the Magic a fatal blow."

Bill Walton immediately retorted: "The 76ers are indeed a good way to control the rhythm. Andre Iguodala and Ju Holiday are all good players in the ball control, but their opponents are one of the top point guards in the league. Once he is really opened, this task may not be so easy to complete. However, no matter what, this is much more feasible than the second path. Currently, this lineup is the most handy lineup used by the Magic, and the attack and defense are very balanced."

Andre Iguodala's pass error was cut off by Gerald Wallace. Vince Carter, who was ambushed near the center line, saw that the opportunity had already started. In the Magic's fast attack system, Wu Feng and Vince Carter are the two sharpest sharp knives. Wu Feng's speed, explosive power and skillful ball control skills are naturally the best candidates for fast attacks.

Because of injuries, Vince Carter no longer had the explosive power he had at his peak. Now, his speed is only upstream. Many defenders in the league are above him, but they still cannot stop his fast attack. There is no amazing speed, but his fast attack consciousness is not below anyone.

"Swish", a beautiful three-step layup completed the offense. Perhaps influenced by Wu Feng, the offense of the Magic team's players became very efficient. Although there were fewer wonderful performances, the Magic team's mercury offense still made the fans excited.

Zhu Holiday could not stop Wu Feng's footsteps at all. He passed or shot, and Wu Feng played the entire outside line of the 76ers alone.

When Elton Brand kept getting stuck at the position of several inside players at the basket, Ju Holiday suddenly appeared at the basket and took an offensive rebound. However, he did not take the rebound directly, but lightly supported the basketball in the air.

The ball drew a wonderful small arc in the air, and the "swish" tip-in was successful.

Gerald Wallace clenched his fists in annoyance. He saw that there was no ball in his hand just now, but he just relaxed a little. Unexpectedly, he rushed into the inside and caught fish, and the ball even went in.

The Magic's offense was fruitless, and the ball quickly returned to the 76ers' half.

Zhu Holiday did not play hard this time. Gerald Wallace, who was standing by him, learned the lesson just now and did not even leave him any shot space.

In desperation, the ball was handed over to the outside line again.

After receiving the ball, Spencer Hawys performed a dry-land pulling green onion on Vince Carter's head without any adjustments. The ball bounced high on the basket, but it still fell in.

With the cheers of the fans at home, the Magic insisted on their own playing style, seized the opponent's unhappy opportunity, and patiently attacked through the opponent's Nets at one time.

Doug Collins also saw the problem. The team's condition was indeed not very big, but there were problems in their mentality. The overly radical mentality caused the team to deviate in the offense. Moreover, the style of playing was too monotonous and seemingly sharp, but it fell into the trap of the Magic's defense. Andre Iguodala's outstanding personal ability. Once he fell into the Magic's double-team, his barely shot was just a waste of opportunities. He understood the players' eagerness to achieve success at this time, especially Andre Iguodala's impulsive performance at this time.

The atmosphere of the Magic's bench was very relaxed, but it did not affect Stan Van Gundy's thoughts at all. He attached great importance to this game. Although the Magic's live broadcasts in the United States this year are quite different, it is far from the same game as today's game.

Because this game is a playoffs.

After the timeout, the 76ers finally stabilized and became very patient in offense. The 76ers are a team that is both offensive and defensive. The pace of the game is too fast, which is not a good thing for the 76ers.

Zhu Holiday quickly led the ball through halftime, and he played very actively in this game.

Louis Williams' rapid progress has quickly gained the favor of the team, especially this season. Ju Holiday's condition has been too strong, and Louis Williams' sudden emergence has already threatened Ju Holiday's starting position.

While Zhu Holiday was calculating his position in the midfield, Wu Feng suddenly activated, his tight body was like a cheetah, and his lightning speed appeared on the right side of Zhu Holiday in just a blink of an eye.

Wu Feng's quick-strike attacked his opponent's basketball head-on. Zhu Holiday is also a master of steals, so he is naturally very good at dealing with steals. However, this time Wu Feng went against the rules and took the initiative and failed to react in a hurry. The ball had already fallen into the opponent's hands.

"Swish", facing the unguarded basket, Wu Feng completed the attack with a beautiful three-step basket.

Doug Collins' eyes were slightly tight. At this time, the Magic had already widened the gap. Once the gap was widened to double digits, the game would be difficult.

Seeing the opponent's continuous increase in scores, Andre Iguoda pulled his closed lips and trembled slightly. As the team leader, this is a time to reflect his value. He took the initiative to ask for the ball near the free throw line and wanted to reverse the unfavorable situation on the court. Only scoring a goal is the most appropriate way.

The crisp sound of ball control resounded throughout the stadium. Andre Iguodala's left shoulder tightly held Gerald Wallace and pushed him step by step toward the basket.

Holding his chest tightly, Gerald Wallace endured the severe pain in his chest. Unexpectedly, his body, which he had always been proud, could not take a slight advantage in front of Andre Iguodala. As his shoulders pressed against his chest again and again, he felt his steps moving little by little.

"Ah..." The explosion-like sound caught Gerald Wallace off guard. The fierce force made him lose his position in an instant. His feet quickly retreated, and he felt a black shadow in front of him.

"Clang", Andre Iguodala's hands were banged, making Doug Collins clench his fists tightly.

Dwight Howard said to Wu Feng: "Wu, this is our home court, give them some lessons."

The ball was beating skillfully in his hands, but Wu Feng's heart was not calm.

The heavy footsteps seemed to step on the hearts of the fans of the Amway Center Arena. The sharp momentum gathered rapidly in his heavy footsteps. In Wu Feng's slightly thin body, an invisible momentum was gradually condensing.

Feeling the breathtaking momentum, Zhu Holiday quickly rushed to defend. He didn't want to stay like this, nor did he dare to stay like this. He felt his confidence, and as Wu Feng gradually approached the ground, it quickly lost.

With a gentle turn, his movements were still so light, but it did not hinder his sharp momentum at all, and he quickly broke through the first line of defense of the 76ers.

Wu Feng did not take the opportunity to break through, and he stopped at the three-point line. The basketball jumping in his hand and the perseverance revealed in his calm eyes made no one doubt his actions. However, Andre Iguodala saw another meaning in his eyes. He was fighting against himself and the counterattack he had just provoked.

Faced with the challenge, Andre Iguodala did not retreat at all and refused the help of his teammates. He wanted to have a one-on-one single-hand fight with Wu Feng.

The match between the ace and the confrontation between the kings, the atmosphere of the entire stadium instantly sublimated to the peak. All the fans in front of the TV widened their eyes and quietly waited for this peak duel.

Wu Feng's skillful ball control skills made Andre Iguodala admire him. He has always been confident in his skills, the physical quality of a power forward, but he has the delicate ball skills of a defender player. However, he still admires Wu Feng's ball control skills, which is the real unity of man and ball.

The slightly sinking center of gravity and his eyes burst out with amazing brilliance, Andre Iguodala's attention was unprecedentedly focused.

Andre Iguodala has excellent defensive ability, but there are many disadvantages in his defense. There are big problems in his defensive footsteps, and the defense is too gambled. He likes to steal balls, so he has good steal data. He relies more on his outstanding body to make up for these loopholes.

Wu Feng started. Although Andre Iguodala had already prepared, he was still caught off guard when the matter was really coming.
