Chapter 184 The expected fierce battle (Part 2)
The Amway Center Arena heard warm applause. The Magic team has been passive during this period, so the hearts of the home fans are also hanging. Now they are very happy to see the home team gradually pull the situation back. ""Net.com.
Jason Kidd rested for less than four minutes off the court, and the Magic successfully launched a counterattack and had already surpassed the score.
This made Rick Carlisle a little unable to sit still and ran to the sidelines several times to command. Jose Baria's current performance in Wu Feng has caused a big setback to the team's offense.
Jose Barrea made a pass mistake, Dwight Howard easily intercepted the ball, and a long pass across half the court assisted Chris Du Hong to make a layup.
Rick Carlisle quickly sent Jason Kidd back on the court, and Dirk Nowitzki replaced Ian Masinmi.
As soon as Dirk Nowitzki came up, he hit a goal to help the Mavericks stabilize their morale.
But Wu Feng immediately fought back.
When Wu Feng broke through Jason Kidd, his keen reaction made him react immediately, but his hands and feet were always one step later.
Wu Feng made a quick stop jump shot, and Sean Marion, who made the defense, was always slowing down one step, but this cannot be blamed. He never expected that Jason Kidd would be broken through so easily, but as he got older, defense was no longer Jason Kidd's strength.
Stan Van Gundy finally sat back on his seat. His butt had never touched the seat just now. The moment the ball fell into the basket, he saw the rekindled fighting spirit on the Magic players.
Stan Van Gundy is still quite satisfied with the current situation on the court. Although other players have not scored yet, they have gradually recovered as usual in defense. The Mavericks' offense has been smooth so far, but it is far less relaxed and comfortable than in the first half of the fourth quarter.
Sean Marion pulled the outside block, Jason Kidd slipped to the bottom line, adjusted the rhythm, and then took action. The ball drew a wonderful arc in the air, and Jason Kidd tightly clenched his right fist, watching the ball spinning in the air.
"Bang", Jason Kidd's ball was almost certain, but he accidentally missed the iron.
Dwight Howard easily picked the rebound and threw the ball to Wu Feng, and immediately ran to the frontcourt. The game was so good that Dwight Howard felt very frustrated, looking at the small players of the Mavericks, laying under his nose, but he was Dirk Nine Astronomy.com)
Wu Feng was very fast, and even the Mavericks players couldn't keep up with him. Even Jason Kidd was left a few steps away by him. The only thing that threatened him was Sean Marion, who had been left in the midfield, had quickly returned to defense when Jason Kidd took action.
The current situation is a bit unfavorable for Wu Feng. Sean Marion is eyeing him in front, and Jason Kidd and other Mavericks players quickly followed behind him. If he is not careful, he will fall into a situation of attacking from front and back. The Magic teammates are closest to him, and they are several meters behind Jason Kidd, and they can only rely on themselves.
Wu Feng's figure is getting closer and closer to the Mavericks' three-point line, and Sean Marion's spirit is also highly concentrated.
Unexpectedly, Wu Feng stopped at the free throw line. Sean Marion was anxious. This move was another move. Many people in the league could do this trick, but they were really good at it. The jump shot at the emergency stop was very high. The jump shot at the emergency stop was very high, and the physical coordination and feel requirements were very high. However, the people in front of them seemed to be very good at this. In the previous few fights, Wu Feng repeatedly staged a good show of jump shots, which made the Mavericks' defensive players almost have the urge to get crazy.
After the careful crafting of Wu Feng by Reggie Miller and Clyde Drexler, his shooting has made great progress. Whether it is a fixed-point shot, a quick stop jump shot, or a catch-and-shot, Wu Feng can basically do it at will.
Sean Marion's reaction was even better, and he jumped quickly, completely blocking Wu Feng's position of attack. He was confident that as long as Wu Feng dared to take action, he would definitely give him a big hat.
Sean Marion's defense is indeed good. He reacted so quickly. It is indeed the quality that a defensive player should possess. However, his defensive action with such a big opening and closing is very unwise in this case. At this time, the inside line is empty, and the Magic players can rush in and score at any time.
Wu Feng held his body in time. His physical fitness was really outstanding. When his body was about to jump, he stopped the rising body. His center of gravity sank slightly. A cat's waist quickly passed by Sean Marion, his wrist shaking, and the ball hit the board into the basket.
The Mavericks' luck seemed to be exhausted with Jason Kidd's shooting missed, and several consecutive attacks ended in failure. However, the Magic players still couldn't find the feel, but they still played a 9-4 small **.
Rick Carlisle had no choice but to call a timeout. Fortunately, the Mavericks' bench this year has improved a lot compared to last year, and the team has always had no shortage of scorers in offense.
Jose Barrea and Jason Terry were sent on the court.
After the timeout, the Mavericks actually made a 7-2 attack wave under the leadership of Jason Terry and Jose Barrea, which allowed the Mavericks to regain the situation on the field and the Magic's just-ignited fighting spirit and frustrated. Stan Van Gundy was anxiously paced on the sidelines. ("".com)

The atmosphere of the Amway Center Arena instantly dropped to an underestimation, and everyone watched the game nervously.
Wu Feng made a three-pointer on the right wing forty-five degrees. Jason Kidd, who had always been following him, naturally would not let him succeed easily. At the moment Wu Feng made a shot, he slapped Wu Feng's right hand.

With five minutes left in the game, Rick Carlisle called a timeout to stabilize the morale of the army.
After the timeout, the Mavericks made a beautiful attack under the connection of Jason Kidd.
Sean Marion pulled to the top of the arc again to block the gap. After Jason Kidd easily broke through, he immediately transferred the ball to Sean Marion, who turned around and made a jump shot.

Wu Feng made a mistake in passing, and Jason Kidd made a long pass, assisting Jason Terry to make a layup.
Stan Van Gundy decisively called a timeout. Although several players performed well on the court and worked very hard on the defense, their mentality was too extreme. In terms of the details of passing, they were prone to some unnecessary mistakes. Wu Feng's pass mistake just now was crucial to the impact of the situation.
The difference between Wu Feng and Gerald Wallace's outside line made the ball smoothly into the hands of Vince Carter on the right wing. At this time, there was no one in front of him. Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on him. This was undoubtedly the key goal. In front of the powerful Mavericks, Wu Feng's personal efforts were too weak after all. The reason why he had such an outstanding performance just now was that the Mavericks' defense was not in place was also a major reason. However, no matter where Wu Feng ran, Jason Terry followed him tightly. Jason Kidd, not far away, most of his attention was also on this side. Only when the ball had the intention to pass it to this side, he would decisively abandon the defending players and attack Wu Feng.
Only when the Magic team works together can they defeat the Mavericks.
Such an open shot is naturally the best opportunity.
With just a "swish" sound, the basketball was hollowed into the net!
Vince Carter shook his arm hard, and the home fans also gave the home team crazy support.
Jason Kidd quickly dribbled the ball through the half, and handed it to Jason Terry. The latter quickly took a step forward, gently raised his hands, and made a mid-range shot.
The offense and defense were transferred, Vince Carter quickly led the ball through the half. Jason Kidd's several attempts to steal were cleverly avoided. At the critical moment, his stable performance was quite reassuring.
At this time, Wu Feng basically laid off the heavy responsibility of the organization, and even the defense of the outside line, no longer revolves around him. In the words of Stan Van Gundy, the only thing Wu Feng has to do now is to run and fire freely after getting the ball.
After receiving the ball at the baseline, Jason Terry appeared next to him immediately, but Wu Feng seemed to ignore the defensive player in front of him, climbed up high, and gently lifted the ball with both hands.
Unexpectedly, Wu Feng was so bold that Jason Terry quickly blocked the block. At such a close distance, he didn't believe that Wu Feng could still take action.
"Swish", Jason Terry didn't expect Wu Feng to take action so quickly, and he had no time to react.
Sean Marion received a pass from Jason Kidd and turned around and made a jump shot.
Wu Feng easily broke through Jason Kidd and quickly transferred the ball to Gerald Wallace, who took the ball easily. Unfortunately, so far, he seems to have not regained his touch, and the ball missed.
Dwight Howard pressed Sean Marion tightly behind him, easily took off the rebound, and handed a long pass to Wu Feng.
"Swish", another hollow entry into the net!
The Magic's substitute cheered immediately, and warm applause and cheers also sounded in the home stadium.
Under the leadership of the return Wu Feng, the Magic players chased and bombarded the Mavericks' baskets across the board, but the Mavericks were not disturbed by the Magic's bombing. They always attacked and defended in an orderly manner, maintaining a high shooting percentage.
Therefore, no matter how strong the Magic attacks, they cannot tie the score and overtake the score, and have been in a state of lagging behind.
Four minutes before the final game, the Magic players were unable to catch up with the score, so they gradually became disorganized and made some low-level mistakes frequently. If the Mavericks' shooting rate had not been reduced at this time, the Magic would have been led by the opponent to double digits.
In the last three minutes, Brandon Bass, who had been silent for three quarters of the game under Brandon Heywood's suppression, suddenly broke out. He first received Wu Feng's pass and scored 4 points in a row with a hook and a fixed-point mid-range shot. Then, he grabbed the frontcourt rebound and turned around and broke through to hit the basket. He caused Brandon Heywood's foul, completing a 2+1 fight. He helped the Magic play a 7-2 small ** and chased the score to 102:105, which immediately boosted the morale of the Magic.
Afterwards, with 1 minute and 43 seconds left before the end of the game, Wu Feng invested another three-pointer with the help of Dwight Howard's pick-and-roll, and finally caught the score to only one point, which increased the morale of the Magic team to the highest point. At the same time, the emotions of all Magic team fans also rose to the highest point in this instant.
The fans shouted, shouting the names of Wu Feng, Dwight Howard and other Magic players performed very well. All of this was because the Magic brought them passion, happiness, and madness!
However, just when people thought the Magic would counterattack, Mavericks power forward Dirk Nowitzki actually pulled out of the three-point line and shot a three-pointer at a critical moment.
Then, Vince Carter missed a three-pointer, allowing Brandon Haywood to grab the backcourt rebound and pass it back to Caron Butler, who had already run into the Magic's half. The latter took the ball and launched a fast break, easily using three layups to score 2 points, rewriting the score to 109:115, and the Magic fell behind the opponent by 6 points again.
At this moment, the shadow of losing was overwhelming all Magic players and Magic fans. They were very scared, afraid that they would lose this game.
In the last moment, because they fought too hard throughout the game, the Magic and Mavericks players no longer had much energy.
However, among them, there are still people who are physically energetic.
Because Wu Feng had been using some time to rest and was completely out of the third quarter, his physical strength was still at its peak until now. It can also be said that he must now burst out all his strength to save the Magic Team.
