Chapter 232: Don’t judge heroes by success or failure [Yesterday’s second update]
"What's going on?"
The puzzled Earl Baron naturally couldn't see what was happening behind him, but all the Knicks fans saw a scene that they couldn't believe.
At the moment when Tony Douglas hit the ground, a figure quickly penetrated from outside the three-point line and entered the penalty area. When Earl Baron flew up, the figure had already appeared in the free throw line, and there was no time for him to delay. If he was like a sky cannon, his body would quickly rise into the air.
And this figure is Wu Feng!
Looking at the ball in Earl Baron's hand climbing little by little, Wu Feng's belief became stronger. However, his physical strength had been consumed too much before, even the midfield and most of the first half of the third quarter were spent on rest, but after all, he had consumed too much before, so at this moment, the physical crisis once again invaded Wu Feng.
As his body soared and numb and tiredness suddenly surged throughout his body, and his whole body seemed to fall from the air at any time.
But the firm belief in his heart kept Wu Feng gritting his teeth.
"We must not let him dig this ball, otherwise..."
Wu Feng no longer had much energy to pay attention to other details, and there seemed to be only the orange basketball left in his eyes.
In the end, Wu Feng could hardly control his body. However, the only belief in his heart still made him stretch out his right hand.
"Pa", although the sound was very small, Wu Feng and another person involved, Earl Baron, heard the sound.
"Uh..." An indescribable soreness made Wu Feng's somewhat vague thoughts wake up.
Allowing his body to fall from the air, although Wu Feng was sore and exhausted all over, he did smile on his face.
Because, he successfully stopped Earl Baron's dunk. Although this block is not the earth-shaking, it is also priceless.
"Bang", Earl Balong's powerful dunk was blocked by Wu Feng with all his strength. Although the blocking was not strong, the ball still hit the front of the rebound, and the huge recoil force also bounced Earl Balong backwards.
The cold floor completely awakened Wu Feng's consciousness. Although his physical strength had basically been exhausted, he still gritted his teeth and got up.
However, it made him feel a little embarrassed if he wanted to run again.
The dunked basketball was snatched by Gerald Wallace, and then he and Vince Carter raced against time to rush towards the Knicks' half.
There is not much time left now, but they are still 4 points behind. Therefore, they must score a goal in a short time and then put down the Knicks one goal to have a chance to turn the tables.
Vince Carter covers Gerald Wallace, and Gerald Wallace successfully gets rid of the "Melon" Cameron Anthony's defense and rushes toward the basket.
Gerald Wallace is now extremely hard-working. He has seen Wu Feng's persistence with his own eyes and tried his best to win the game for the team to win the game.
And now, he cannot disappoint Wu Feng. He wants to score this goal, so that Wu Feng's efforts will not be in vain.
As Gerald Wallace broke through Cameron Anthony's defense, the "Little Overlord" Amare Stadmeier made up and stood in front of the "Desperate Saburo" Wallace.
There is not much time left, and the last twenty-six seconds are left. (《》)
Facing Amare Stoudemire's backup defense, Gerald Wallace was not afraid at all. He turned around and blocked him behind him.
However, at this time, Earl Baron, two meters one and three meters standing at the Knicks' basket.
Gerald Wallace's face was solemn. Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows and passed the ball through Earl Barron's crotch.
"It's so wonderful, this pass is so beautiful." Xu Jiping from the imperial court commented.
It was not Dwight Howard who received the pass from Gerald Wallace, but Vince Carter.
Dwight Howard had already reached a high position in order to help Carter's banquet.
At this time, Carter was completely in a free space, and even if Earl Baron turned around and blocked it, it was too late.
After receiving the pass from Gerald Wallace, Carter pursed his lips and forced himself to jump. Earl Barron, who reacted quickly turned around and jumped up on the spot to block Carter.
But Carter's bounce power is not comparable to Earl Baron, who jumped on the spot. Even though Carter is over thirty years old, his explosive power can still make some defensive players frightened.
What's more, Carter and others are working hard now and don't want Wu Feng's previous efforts to waste.
"Ah..." The former Ufo roared, and used all his strength to dunk the ball towards the basket.
Earl Baron also reached out to block the ball in Carter's hand.
However, with a change in Carter, Earl Baron did not block the ball, but instead hit Carter's hand.
Regardless of whether this goal is entered or not, Earl Baron cannot escape the defensive foul.
However, just after the referee observed Earl Baron's defensive foul, he immediately blew the whistle in his mouth.
"Drip", Wu Feng, who was still standing in the Knicks' half, laughed.
He knew that Vince Carter had a chance to play two plus one.
Now, after a short rest, he can run a little.
However, he still stood there and did not move. He could take advantage of this free throw opportunity to take a rest.
"Bang", Carter's shocking dunk was staged at the Madison Garden Arena.
The New Yorkers have seen Carter's dunk, but what they didn't expect was that Carter, who is about to be thirty-three, still has such strong explosive power and can still have such dunks.
After successfully dunking, Vince Carter first turned around and looked at Wu Feng, gave him a look that reassured him, and then slapped his teammates one by one.
Then, Carter walked to the free throw line.
Taking a deep breath, Vince Carter knew that this free throw must be scored, and in this case, he would only be 1 point behind the Knicks.
Now, the score on the field is 124:122.
Knicks head coach Mike D'Anthony was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Seeing the cooked ducks flying, he could not be anxious.
However, the Knicks no longer have the chance to call for a timeout, and he can no longer use the timeout to arrange some tactics.
"Swish", Vince Carter's free throw was very stable, so steady that Wu Feng and others laughed, so steady that Mike D'Antoni and others darkened their faces. (")
Since the Knicks have no chance to ask for a timeout, they have to serve in the backcourt.
However, this result made them a little happy. Because in this way, they could delay time.
Although the Magic have narrowed the gap to 1 point, after all, the Knicks still have a 1-point lead.
There are only the last twenty-three seconds left, so the Knicks will have to spend time until the last moment.
Although the Orlando has implemented a full-game pressing defense, it has failed to force the New Yorker into a mistake.
Tony Douglas came to the frontcourt with the ball. At this moment, there were only seventeen seconds left before the end of the game.
Wu Feng gritted his teeth and rushed to Tony Douglas with a quick step.
"I didn't expect this guy to have the energy." Tony Douglas was very surprised.
Although Wu Feng seemed to be breathless and no longer had any strength, Tony Douglas still felt Wu Feng's powerful oppression.
For safety reasons, Tony Douglas passed the ball to the team's boss Cameron Anthony.
At this time, there are only the last 9 seconds left.
Everyone knows that the Knicks are trying to delay time, especially the Orlando people.
So, with five seconds left, Gerald Wallace rushed up and used a foul tactic against Cameron Anthony, which was also approved by Stan Van Gundy.
Cameron Anthony walked onto the free throw line. Wu Feng saw Stan Van Gundy wave to him and walked over.
"How is it? Why don't Chris replace you?" Stan Van Gundy asked Wu Feng with concern.
Wu Feng shook his head and said, "No, I can still hold on."
Seeing Wu Feng's firm eyes, Stan Van Gundy also understood. So he said to Wu Feng: "Sit down and rest first, I will call for a pause later."
After hearing Stan Van Gundy's words, Wu Feng nodded.
What worries the Orlando people is that Cameron Anthony made both free throws. That is to say, they are now 3 points behind the Knicks, and in the next five seconds, they must make a three-pointer. Moreover, even if they make this three-pointer, the game will only enter overtime.
Stan Van Gundy called a timeout, which only had twenty seconds.
Twenty seconds later, the game continued.
No one knows what tactics the Magic team has set up, and no one knows who will shoot the Magic team's last shot.
The person in charge of serving on the sideline was Ryan Anderson, and all four players on the court were on the front line, namely Gerald Wallace, Vince Carter, JJ Redick and Wu Feng.
"Sizizi", Wu Feng once again made Tony Douglas sigh at his tenacity after a short rest.
Wu Feng spent a lot of energy to speed up getting rid of Tony Douglas before receiving Ryan Anderson's serve near the midfield.
After receiving the ball, Wu Feng did not stop for a moment and chose to break through directly.
When he came outside the three-point line, all the Knicks players became nervous.
Although Wu Feng's physical strength has almost been exhausted, no one will ignore Wu Feng's three-point shooting ability. Until now this season, Wu Feng's three-point shooting percentage has remained at around 48%, and his shooting percentage is so high.
Although it is not comparable to famous sharpshooters like Ray Allen and Reggie Miller, Wu Feng has the capital to be able to score a 48% three-point shooting percentage in the rookie season.
The Knicks players watched Wu Feng come outside the three-point line and quickly came to double-team. Tony Douglas, Amare Stoudemire and two quickly blocked Wu Feng's sight, leaving him without the possibility of taking action.
The remaining three players of the Knicks also defended JJ Redick, Vince Carter and Gerald Wallace. And Ryan Anderson was naturally vacant.
If it is another team, the Knicks' defensive strategy is right. But when facing the Magic, their defensive strategy is wrong.
The reason why Stan Van Gundy replaced Dwight Howard with "Warcraft" and chose to replace Ryan Anderson was naturally his consideration.
Although Ryan Anderson is a big man of 2.08 meters, his three-point shooting ability should not be underestimated.
In the rookie season, Ryan Anderson had a 36.5 three-point shooting percentage. In the second season, his three-point shooting percentage improved a little, reaching 37%.
