Chapter 276: Semi-finals, we are here! [Third update]

Wu Feng, who picked up the ball, shouted at Vince Carter. At the same time, an orange basketball flew out of the 76ers' half. The ball flew across most of the court and landed accurately in Vince Carter's hands.

Vince Carter added enough horsepower and rushed into the basket. He flew into the air and dunked the ball into the basket steadily.

The ball rights returned to the hands of the 76ers. Zhu Holiday's fake move was seen through, but the ball flew out of his hand. This time the offense was handed over to the inside.

"Captain" Elton Brand controlled the ball while controlling the ball while squeezing into the inside. In terms of physical confrontation ability, Brandon Bass naturally had to be at a disadvantage, but with his excellent defensive attitude, Elton Brand's offense seemed very difficult. Seeing the two retreating into the basket step by step, other players of the Magic would naturally not sit idly by and watch the two fight one by one.

Surprisingly, the "captain" did not choose to attack.

The basketball was passed out. Although it was not fast, it fell into Louis Williams' hands.

After Louis Williams received the ball, he directly opened his hand and threw the ball out.

"Swish", please enter the net with hollowness, and the crisp sound of the net also rang out.

Fans at the Vocovia Arena cheered because in their opinion, the home team may defeat the Magic tonight.

59:55, the gap between the two sides narrowed to four points again.

The offense and defense were transferred, and the Magic quickly brought the ball through the half. With the continuous dribbling sound of "bang, bang", Wu Feng quickly pulled the ball from the top of the arc to the right, and brought the 76ers' defense focus to the right.

With a "pop" grabbing the basketball that rebounded violently, Wu Feng's whole body leaned forward quickly and flew towards the inside like an arrow from the string. The amazing explosive power suddenly activated, which made Zhu Holiday, who was responsible for defending him, not react at all.

The 76ers players ran over quickly. They knew the consequences of putting a player like Wu Feng into the inside. They avoided Louis Williams' sneak attack right hand. Wu Feng found that he had surrounded two of the fastest players of the 76ers. Wu Feng, who was attacking from the front and back, seemed to have decided to be aware of the truth and jumped under the double-team of the two.

Unable tolerate Louis Williams thinking too much, he jumped high, and his huge hands kept shaking in front of Wu Feng's eyes.

The basketball was raised high in his hand, and as the ball was about to take action, Wu Feng's right wrist flipped gently, and the ball turned into a white light and flew out obliquely.

After receiving the ball, Vince Carter jumped up lightly, adjusted the basketball in his hand in the air, and the ball flew out quickly and drew a beautiful parabola in the air.

"Swish" was another undefensive three-pointer, 62:55, the difference reached 7 points.

Although the 76ers played very fiercely in this game, even if they were fierce, they would be patient when they should be patient.

At this moment, the 76ers were very patient in the offense, with a few beautiful passes and pick-and-rolls, and the ball finally returned to the inside.

The continuous feints at the feet of 'Captain' Elton Brand finally changed Brandon Bass's physical center of gravity. Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent adjusted the center of gravity, Elton Brand scored a strong dunk with both hands.

"Branton, you have a rest first, I'll defend Brand." Dwight Howard saw that Brandon Bass could not effectively limit Elton Brand, so he said to Brandon Bass.

Brandon Bass nodded when he heard this.

Logically speaking, Brandon Bass is effective in defending the "Captain", but Brandon Bass has consumed too much energy during this period, so it is a bit difficult to defend Elton Brand now.

In the following time, the "Warcraft" once again faced the "Captain".

In the first three games, the two also fought many times. However, for some reason, the "Captain" seemed to have a second spring, and they played very well in these games.

Even with the defense of the "Warcraft", it cannot be completely curbed.

However, the Magic's defense has always maintained a high level of defense, and several attacks have made the 76ers almost buzzer-beat.

The players' round defense transitions seem very skillful and tacit. It is precisely because of this that in the third quarter when the 76ers' offensive was swelling, the Magic not only did not get hit by the opponent, but instead widened the gap in a closer approach.

73:65, the eight-point difference is also the biggest difference in the game. In addition to Louis Williams' performance for a period of time after playing in the first quarter, the Magic's defense against the 76ers players was still very successful.

Elton Brand's 13-for-13 shots were far lower than the previous games' shooting percentage of nearly 60%; Ju Holiday's 2-for-9 shots, Louis Williams made six-for-eleven shots, which also included his top five shots, and it was his successful defense that allowed the Magic to always maintain their advantage against their opponents in the score.

However, another problem is seen from this. The substitute players of the two teams are divided into the level of the substitute players. At this time, the substitute players of the 76ers made five of nine shots on three-pointers, and the bench players scored an overwhelming advantage with 32:12.

Stan Van Gundy's face did not show any relaxation at all. In the first three quarters, several main players of the 76ers were given sufficient rest time.

The Magic's internal and external combination almost fought for the entire first three quarters. Fortunately, Wu Feng finally got a few minutes of rest, but Dwight Howard was the Iron Man on the field and the only player on both sides who had almost never had a rest.

Dwight Howard is the Magic's guarantee of the inside offense and rebounding, but he faces the opponent's wheel battle defense.

Dwight Howard has excellent physical fitness, but "Captain" Elton Brand has equally excellent physical fitness. Although he has experienced many injuries, at least in the confrontation, he can still fight Dwight Howard. In addition to the assistance of Tony Barty and others, "Warcraft" is not easy to fight.

For players like the Sixers, you cannot give him any breathing space. Once you relax the pressure on them a little, they will burst out with terrifying strength.

In order to relieve the pressure on inside players, he had to start from the outside more. Wu Feng's rest in front of the midfield is still maintaining sufficient physical strength. Vince Carter and JJ Redick took turns to play, which won him a lot of rest time.

"Gerard, we need your attack." Wu Feng quietly walked to Gerald Wallace before playing.

Gerald Wallace nodded when he heard this.

Louis Williams' focus on Vince Carter makes it difficult for him to easily get the space for shooting. It is difficult for the 76ers to feel a huge threat if he only relies on himself on the outside.

If the most worthwhile attack point on the Magic is Gerard Wallace in the small forward position. In the playoffs, he has always played a sniper. It is his excellent defense and offense at critical moments that ensures the Magic's advantage in the score.

Vince Carter's serve flew half of the court and was accurately handed to the hands of midfielder Wu Feng.

At this time, the 76ers players' attention was obviously not focused on the game, with only two players left in the whole half, Louis Williams and Ju Holiday.

The heavy sound of slapping the ball awakened the 76ers players. When they realized it, Wu Feng had already dribbled the ball into the free throw line, and there was only one Louis Williams trying hard to catch up behind Wu Feng.

With a "swish", even with Louis Williams' full efforts to chase and defend, Wu Feng still easily shot the ball into the basket.

75:65, the gap between the two sides was widened to double digits for the first time.

Doug Collins frowned. Although he was optimistic, it seems that optimism does not bring him a victory.

The 76ers did not seem anxious because of their backwardness. On the contrary, they had lost three games in a row, and seemed to have let go of the game.

It's not that they gave up on this game, but that they have completely put the matter of losing three games in a row and devoted themselves to the game.

Therefore, their offense was still orderly at this time. Zhu Holiday quickly led the ball through the half and still chose to pass the ball when he encountered Gerald Wallace.

Observing Wu Feng, the moment he passed the ball, he found that something seemed to be wrong in the direction of the ball. Originally, Elton Brand only needed to pull out half a step to easily catch the ball. Moreover, this small half cloth also gave Elton Brand enough room to exert force, but by some reason, Brandon Bass went around from the basket and just blocked Elton Brand's footsteps.

Opportunities were fleeting for the game, and the ball was indeed as Wu Feng expected, hitting Brandon Bass' shoulder.

At the moment when the ball rebounded and was about to fly out of the baseline, Wu Feng rescued the ball in time.

Looking at Gerald Wallace who was running in the middle of the game, Wu Feng passed the basketball accurately in front of him. Gerald Wallace picked up the ball, picked up the ball and obediently passed through the basket.

…………

After the Magic's offense, after the ball passed half, Wu Feng, who broke through Louis Williams, faced Viandre Iguodala who came up to make up for defense. A very hidden pass from behind was passed just right to Gerald Wallace who was running to the basket.

After receiving the ball, Gerald Wallace was delighted and didn't need to adjust. He dunked comfortably.

Elton Brand, who was stuck behind Dwight Howard, could only watch Gerald Wallace make a big dunk.

In the next attack, Louis Williams ignored Wu Feng's defense, ran back and took off directly after receiving the ball. Unfortunately, he did not make the game. Brandon Bass grabbed the backcourt rebound.

Against Wu Feng's attack, Louis Williams obviously paid a lot of attention. But what Louis Williams didn't expect was that after Wu Feng dribbled into the center circle this time, he directly broke into Louis Williams' right. Louis Williams followed closely and prevented Wu Feng from having a breakthrough line. Just when Louis Williams thought he was defending this time, Wu Feng suddenly stopped urgently. Louis Williams obviously did not keep up with Wu Feng's rhythm and was still rushing to the right. When Louis Williams stopped, Wu Feng accelerated and passed completely.

This series of actions made Louis Williams' head dizzy. Wu Feng rushed to the basket after Louis Williams. Because he had just missed someone because he went up to make up for defense, Andre Iguodala was a little hesitant whether to go up this time, but at this moment, Wu Feng made a three-step layup and two points.

With the 76ers' offense, Elton Brand received a pass from Ju Holiday from the baseline and made a jump shot.

Transposition of offense and defense.

Wu Feng broke through the bottom line, and Gerald Wallace, who made a wonderful pass at the top of the arc, opened his hand and made another three-pointer.

Then Vince Carter contributed. He stole Ju Holiday's pass and assisted Dwight Howard, who was still in the 76ers' half, made a layup.

After the Magic made a 10:3 little **, the 76ers decisively called a timeout.

After the timeout, the 76ers significantly increased mid-range shooting. Sadies Young's shooting was very stable. Facing Brandon Bass' defense, he made two consecutive mid-range shots, which finally stabilized the team's morale.

Zhu Holiday was cautiously defending within the three-point line. Wu Feng just relied on speed and threw it away three times in a row. Although the coach did not criticize him, he still felt very uncomfortable. The reason why the Magic had a scoring craze was that he had to bear a large part of the responsibility.

Wu Feng's fake made Zhu Holiday get in a hurry, but Wu Feng's ball was already passed to the inside in a panic.

Faced with Spencer Hawyce, who is still young and inexperienced, Dwight Howard has enough time to send the ball into the basket.

The game was played in a one-sided situation. The Magic team's generals were very hot in the third quarter. They made 13 of 20 shots in this quarter and scored 36 points in a single quarter.

…………

Gerald Wallace ran to the right wing baseline after pick-and-roll. Wu Feng's ball flew over half of the court and appeared in his sight, making an accurate three-pointer.

This is the fifth three-pointer in the fourth quarter of the Magic. At this time, there are 3 minutes and 58 seconds left in the game. The 18-point gap is obviously not a point difference that can be easily made up.

Moreover, the Magic obviously didn't want to give their opponents a chance. In the end, they still had a full main lineup, and their physical defense ran through the entire game.

In the end, the Magic defeated their opponents 118:102, achieving this crucial victory.

With the victory of this game, the Magic swept the 76ers 4-0 and advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Throughout the game, Wu Feng scored a game-high 36 points, 12 assists, 10 rebounds, and 4 steals. Wu Feng completed his first triple-double in the playoffs.

Dwight Howard's statistics are also gorgeous, with 25 points, 15 rebounds and 6 blocks.

It was precisely with the wonderful performance of Dwight Howard and Wu Feng that the Magic curbed the 76ers' crazy counterattack, swept the opponent 4:0 and advanced to the Eastern Conference semi-finals.
