Chapter 335
"Dwight...Howard..." Dj at the scene shouted at the top of his lungs and the fans in Orlando shouted wildly.
The reason they do this is entirely because Dwight Howard's dunk just now was so wonderful...
Just ten seconds ago, the "World" tangled to the basket from the middle. In the process, he comfortably received Wu Feng's clever pass, and then dunked the ball into the basket through Paul Gasol's defense.
Not only that, Dwight Howard's dunk also caused Paul Gasol's defensive foul.
The unlucky Paul Gasol not only failed to defend against Dwight Howard's impact, but was also hit on the ground miserably, which attracted laughter from the fans at the scene.
It is precisely because Dwight Howard's ball has been so effective that the reaction on the spot is so drastic.
What's more, Dwight Howard's dunk helped the Magic tie the score to 102:102. If Dwight Howard could send that free throw into the basket, the Magic would be able to overtake the score.
At this time, Lakers coach Phil Jackson requested a timeout.
During that time, the Lakers' performance was not very good because the main players had serious physical problems, especially the boss Kobe.
The situation on the Magic team is not very good, but Howard and Wu Feng have more physical strength than others.
Before this, Howard and Wu Feng both rested for a while, while the others fought for a long time.
"Defense. Be sure to pay attention to defense. The attack just now is good, just like this. If you play fiercely, don't give them a chance to breathe." Stan Van Gundy's face was nervously sweating. His voice sounded extremely excited.
The Magic are only one last step away from the championship. As long as they hold on tonight, they will successfully take revenge on the Lakers and top the championship.
"Dwight, send that damn free throw into the basket!" Wu Feng slapped Dwight Howard's butt and said to him.
"I will." Dwight Howard raised his head and replied confidently.
If the Magic have the most experience in big scenes, Dwight Howard is undoubtedly one of them.
Dwight Howard clenched his teammates and then walked to the free throw line.
After taking over the baseline referee's serve, Dwight Howard took a deep breath and then slapped the ball twice in a row. With everyone watching, he threw the ball out.
After Dwight Howard threw the ball out, the players on both sides of the free throw line tried their best to get stuck in the position and prepared to compete for rebounds.
Wu Feng, Kobe and others on the outside also rushed into the three-point line, either competing for rebounds or preparing to receive passes from their teammates.
However, the ball entered cleanly with a "swish".
The 'World Beast' raised his hand, then clenched again with Wu Feng and others, and ran towards the backcourt.
At this moment, the end of the game was less than the last three minutes, and both teams began to press and defend the whole game.
Wu Feng followed Kobe tightly, preventing him from easily receiving the bottom line serve.
Seeing Kobe being surrounded, Paul Gasol had to give up passing the ball to him, and then passed it to the "Old Fish" Fisher with a long pass.
Although Derek Fisher is very slow and defense is almost useless for all players who are against him, the "Old Fish" has always shot very well at critical moments, especially in big scenes like the Finals.
So, at this time, 'Zen Master' Phil Jackson still believed in such an old player and arranged Derek Fisher up.
Derek Fisher faced Vince Carter's defense and dribbled through the middle circle and came to the top of the arc.
Kobe got rid of Wu Feng's entanglement and came up to receive the ball.
Looking at Wu Feng in front of him, the expression on Kobe's face was extremely serious.
Now, they are 1 point behind the Magic. Although the situation is not very bad, it is not optimistic.
Paul Gasol stepped forward to pick-and-roll, and after blocking, he quickly ran back into the basket.
At this time, Kobe's pass also arrived.
However, Gerald Wallace predicted the connection between the two in advance and tried his best to pull the ball down.
Vince Carter and Derek Fisher competed for the ball. Although the "Old Fish" grabbed it, Vince Carter also grabbed the ball and the referee blew a competition.
The players on both sides stood in place, Vince Carter and Derek Fisher were preparing to jump the ball in the middle.
With a "bang", Vince Carter, who has superior height, bounce and physical strength, obviously could not let Derek Fisher take the ball away.
Gerald Wallace protected the ball and then passed it to Wu Feng.
While guarding against Kobe's steal, Wu Feng dribbled the ball towards the frontcourt.
Wu Feng tapped his fingertips a few times, and let his teammates run.
He stopped at the top of the arc on the right and Wu Feng passed the ball to Vince Carter. The latter drove it twice and did not find a good opportunity, so he threw the ball to Wu Feng again.
Wu Feng passed the ball with just the right amount of hitting the ball to Dwight Howard who was stuck in the right position.
"Warcraft" singled the "Little Shark" Bynum, and after three moves on his back, he turned around and hooked his hand sideways.
"Bang bang bang", the ball bounced on the basket a few times, and then fell into the basket with a "swish".
The fans of Amway Center Arena all shouted excitedly, and Wu Feng and other Magic players were also excited to celebrate.
105:102, after Dwight Howard's previous three-pointer and a hook shot just now scored 5 points in a row, the Magic successfully overtook the Lakers by 3 points.
There are 2 minutes and 17 seconds left in the whole game.
The Lakers did not request a timeout. They now only have the last two timeouts left. Obviously, they don't want to use the timeout at this time.
"The Magic is now motivated, and the Lakers' situation is not optimistic!" Sun Zhenping, a commentator of the imperial 5th station, explained.
"During this period, Kobe has not felt very good due to physical strength. If no other Lakers players stand up when Kobe is in poor condition, then there is little hope for the Lakers to win in this game tonight." Another commentator, Xu Jiping, said.
After hearing his words, Sun Zhenping nodded, then said nothing, staring at the screen.
No one wants to be distracted at this time and miss even a little bit of the most important moment of this game.
All Orlando people at the Amway Center are standing at this moment because they are so excited.
The Magic team has never won the championship since its founding. Now, they are getting closer and closer to the championship, so how can they not be excited?
