Chapter 56 Godfather and Godson
At the end of the third quarter, the scores of the two teams were frozen at 93:96.
The fans of the American Airlines Center were shocked. The home team was already ahead of the double-digit score difference, but at the last moment of the third quarter, under the leadership of the Chinese rookie, the Magic launched a counterattack, and in a blink of an eye, narrowed the score difference to 3 points.[]
All fans dare not underestimate the Chinese rookie anymore, because the strength shown by the Chinese rookie is amazing.
Wu Feng spread his hands at Carlos Arroyo who was still standing not far away, as if telling him that it was just a beautiful accident. Carlos Arroyo glared at Wu Feng, and then returned to the rest area with his teammates.
Wu Feng and Ryan Anderson returned to their rest area.
"Hehehe, Chinese Wu, your performance is almost better than me." Dwight Howard gestured with both hands, made funny moves, and pretended to complain to Wu Feng.
Wu Feng patted Dwight Howard's butt and sat down.
"Dear Mr. Superman, my performance cannot be better than you. You old man, don't worry!" As he said, Wu Feng took his cup from the caddie, took a sip, and continued to say to Dwight Howard: "Hey, Dwight, why is your free throw so bad?"
Dwight Howard was scarred by Wu Feng and immediately got crazy: "Sheter, damn Chinese Wu, can you not let any pot be opened? You have seen that my free throw in this game is still very good. I have been steadily improving. If I mocked me, I will knead you into a basketball and then dunk into the basket."
"Yoyo, Mr. Superman was crazy. Well, your free throw is very good. I really envy you for such an excellent free throw, my Mr. Superman." Wu Feng curled his lips and replied maliciously.
Dwight Howard naturally heard Wu Feng's sarcasm, so he hit Wu Feng and the few people happily started playing on the bench.
Stan Van Gundy and Ortis Smith saw that Wu Feng and Dwight Howard had a good relationship, so they both smiled.
Soon, the last quarter began.
At the beginning of the last quarter, Wu Feng's performance continued at the end of the third quarter and performed very well. The Magic players also performed very well under Wu Feng's infection.
In just three minutes, the Magic took the lead. 101:99, the Magic led by 2 points.
At this time, Heat head coach Eric Spoelstra called for a timeout, and it seemed that he was going to replace the main lineup. The substitutes did not perform well at the end of the third quarter and the beginning of the fourth quarter, so Eric Spoelstra wanted to replace the main players in advance and get rid of this damn state.
To be honest, Eric Spoelstra is very eager to win this game. The Heat won six of the first seven games. The Magic won all the first seven games, and the relationship between Eric Spoelstra and Stan Van Gundy was a bit stiff, so he really wanted to lead the Heat to defeat the Magic.
After all, this is the last preseason game, and the regular season begins soon. After winning the Magic, the morale of the Heat will definitely rise sharply.
Stan Van Gundy knew that Eric Spoelstra wanted to replace the starting lineup, so he also wondered if he wanted to replace the substitutes.
The suspension time soon ended, and both sides changed into the main lineup.
Currently, the lineups of both sides on the field are:
Magic: Dwight Howard, Brandon Bass, Rashad Lewis, Vince Carter and Jamal Nelson;
Heat: Joel Anthony, Chris Bosh, LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, Carlos Arroyo.
Wu Feng was replaced by Jamal Nelson, and Wu Feng was somewhat dissatisfied with Stan Van Gundy's decision. After all, in this game, he performed much better than Jamal Nelson. However, Stan Van Gundy was jokingly called Jamal Nelson's "godfather" by fans, so Stan Van Gundy still took good care of his "godson".
"Coach Van Gundy, why should I replace Wu?" Ortis Smith asked with a frown and walked to Stan Van Gundy.
Stan Van Gundy's expression stagnated, and then replied with a smile: "Dear Mr. Smith, you should know that Wu's experience is very lacking. Although his potential is very huge, I admit that I am willing to help him tap into his potential, but now it is the final moment of the game. We need an experienced organizational guard. Moreover, Wu has been playing for so long, and it is time to have a good rest."
Stan Van Gundy's answer is somewhat far-fetched, because everyone can see that Wu Feng has no problem with his physical strength. Moreover, it is precisely because of his lack of experience that he needs to hone his skills and gain experience in such occasions.
"Well, my coach, but if Jamal's performance is not so satisfying in the next time, I think you should understand what I want to say." Ortis-Smith said with some displeasure.
"I understand." Stan Van Gundy was also a little dissatisfied with Ortis Smith's interference in his own troops, so he was a little angry when answering.
Although Ortis Smith is the general manager of the team, he is still a head coach and should be respected as he deserves.
Both of them looked at the court again with a little resentment.
Jamal Nelson made a layup on the baseline, but unfortunately LeBron James blocked the block and Joel Anthony took the rebound.
"Damn Jamal, don't you know how to seize the opportunity?" Stan Van Gundy was full of anger.
"Bang", Dwyne Wade received a pass from LeBron James, tangented to the basket from the middle and made a dunk.
Dwight Howard attacked the basket, but was defended by Chris Bosh. The Heat took the opportunity to play a fast break, and LeBron James completed the fast break with a big windmill dunk.
"James's big windmill dunk...it's really not a bit beautiful." Chris Du Hong said to Wu Feng beside him.
Wu Feng was still depressed that Stan Van Gundy did not leave him on the court, so after hearing Chris Du Hong's words, he just nodded.
Jamal Nelson made another pass mistake, and the ball was cut off by Dwayne Wade. The Flash seized the opportunity and succeeded in the fast break.
In a blink of an eye, the Magic were knocked down by the Heat, and 103:109, the Heat overtook the Magic by 6 points.
Since Wu Feng was substituted, the Magic have only scored 2 points in these five minutes, while the Heat have scored 10 points. Although 6 points is not a big difference, there is not much time left in the fourth quarter.
