In the first three quarters, Wu Feng was undoubtedly the most eye-catching player in the game.

Wu Feng's nearly perfect performance helped the Orlando Magic firmly control the lead. No matter how the 76ers counterattack, it would be useless.

However, when Dwight Howard felt poorly, if the Magic wanted to secure the victory in the last quarter, Wu Feng had to become more selfish in the last quarter, maintain an outstanding feel, and increase the number of shots. Wu Feng would undoubtedly become a nightmare for the Phillies again.

However, it is obvious that the Magic have not yet fallen to that point. Dwight Howard, who performed in the first three quarters, exploded in the inside at the beginning of the last quarter. His flexible steps suddenly shook off Tony Barty, who was close to defending, and turned around and dunked outside the three-second zone, causing Elton Brand's blocking foul, which made a 2+1.

With three quarters of anger, Dwight Howard broke out completely in the last quarter, and the first two minutes of the last quarter became his solo show.

The inside attack made consecutive attacks, and completely suppressed the 76ers' inside line in defense. Tony Barty and Elton Brand each gave an attack, helping the team score a 7:0 small ** with their own strength.

With Dwight Howard's power, the Magic quickly expanded their lead to more than double digits.

The Sixers' defense was obviously biased towards the outside, and Dwight Howard's explosion caught them off guard.

At the signal from Doug Collins on the sidelines, Tony Barty's position was closer to the basket again, but the changes made with the opponent's tactics were never the most appropriate choice. The Magic's outside line still maintained a stable performance, and Wu Feng's three-pointer raised his scoring data to 26 points.

Faced with the Magic that opened fire in full swing, Doug Collins had to call a new timeout and adjust the roster.

Andres Nosioni was sent back on the court, and his restrictions on Wu Feng had some effect. In this way, Ju Holiday could take into account Vince Carter's defense, which puts the pressure on the inside players of the 76ers much less.

Wu Feng didn't care much about the adjustments to the 76ers.

Andres Nossioni's defense is enough to give him a headache, but it is not the biggest problem for the Magic at present. Dwight Howard's inside line, under the double-team of the opponent, has just improved and seems to be in a sluggish look again.

Andres Nosioni was shocked. Wu Feng actually chose to break through in a straight line. At the moment when the two bodies collided, he handed the entire left side to him at a 90-degree slight side. The right hand holding the ball was not at all disordered.

At the moment of starting up, Vince Carter had already received a gesture from Wu Feng and immediately stepped forward to pick-and-roll.

"Hmph, with a muffled groan, Wu Feng's left elbow gently pressed against Andres Noscione's ribs. With the help of this weak force, he quickly walked behind Vince Carter. At this time, he was empty. At one glance, Dwight Howard and Elton Brand were stuck at the basket.

Wu Feng, who started at full speed, rushed into the inside of the 76ers like a flash of lightning. Facing Elton Brand, who was grinning, he plunged into the penalty area without any hesitation.

Dwight Howard was also very involved. Seeing Wu Feng who was so close to him, his whole body burst out instantly. Even though he was as strong as Elton Brand, he couldn't help but take a step back. This step was very wonderful. His right foot, who was standing outside the three-second zone just now, had half of his foot stepped into the three-second zone.

He jumped gently outside the three-second zone. At this time, Elton Brand, who had lost the center of gravity, could not pose a threat to him at all. However, this was not Wu Feng's intention. He twisted his body lightly, and the whole movement seemed to be free and easy. The right hand holding the ball gently touched Elton Brand's left wrist, and then threw it with the trend.

"Swish" and "Drip" sounded almost at the same time, and Doug Collins's face turned pale.

When Wu Feng broke through the inside, he vaguely knew Wu Feng's intention. Putting Elton Brand on the court was indeed his last resort.

Dwight Howard broke out at the beginning of the last quarter. If he could not suppress it in time, the initiative of the game would be completely in the hands of the opponent.

But I didn't expect that Wu Feng would see through his intention so quickly and react so quickly.

He also has to admire this. Wu Feng is obviously much better than a player like Zhu Holiday.

Moreover, the basketball IQ he showed on the court was definitely above players like Ju Holiday.

His playing style is not constant during the game, but based on the actual situation of the game, the most appropriate treatment is made. However, if the two are transferred to the same position, the 76ers can still maintain their current strong offensive level, but Zhu Holiday cannot bring the Magic to this level.

Elton Brand counted this foul, which means he had five fouls in total. If he did another one, he could go to take a shower in advance.

So, he was replaced by Doug Collins without any surprise.

The fourth quarter game was only two minutes long, and the 76ers still have a chance to narrow the gap, so Doug Collins plans to arrange Elton Brand to play with about four minutes left in the game.

However, what he was worried about is whether he could narrow the gap between Elton Brand during the period when he was out of the game.

Elton Brand's fate completely lost the balance between the inside of the two teams.

Tony Barty could not pose a threat to Dwight Howard in the interior. In the first half of the fourth quarter, the Magic relied on the absolute advantage of the interior to turn the score to 105:89 in one fell swoop, leading the opponent by up to 16 points.

In the first half of the fourth quarter, Dwight Howard scored 11 points alone and scored five rebounds, becoming the biggest contributor to the Magic's expansion of their lead.

The 76ers, who were behind at home, launched a crazy attack in the last six minutes of the fourth quarter, especially Andre Iguodala, who scored 8 points alone.

However, the Magic relied on the strong support from the inside to withstand the opponent's attack.

Dwight Howard still continued his outstanding performance some time ago in the fourth quarter, and made consecutive wins in the inside.

With four minutes left in the game, the Magic's lead was still firmly controlled at about fifteen points.

Doug Collins had to call a timeout. He had not given up yet. He believed that his disciples had not given up either, so he decided to fight again and send Elton Brand back on the field.

Unfortunately, Elton Brand had not touched the ball yet, Wu Feng's breakthrough caused him to block the foul, and the six fouls were directly blew by the referee.

What made Doug Collins even more depressed was that Andre Iguodala also lost the previous touch at the last moment.

As a result, the 76ers also lost hope of a final comeback.

In the end, the Magic relied on the outbreak of Dwight Howard in the fourth quarter and defeated the 76ers 113:100 at home, winning the second game of the playoffs.

They will go to the Philadelphia Vocovia Arena in two days to challenge the Sixers.

…………

On April 22, 2011, the Magic arrived in Philadelphia, their third playoff game against the Sixers.

At this time, the competition has begun.

In this game, the 76ers coach Doug Collins adjusted the starting lineup, the center was adjusted from Spencer Hawys to Tony Barty, and the organizational defender was also adjusted from Ju Holiday to Louis Williams.

Doug Collins has no other better way, after all, he has lost two games. If he doesn't make any changes, he will probably be swept.

And there is no change on the Magic Team.

Wu Feng broke through with the ball, and passed the ball directly to Brandon Bass at the basket.

Unfortunately, the latter missed a layup, and the rebound was taken off by Andres Nossioni on the left. A long pass from the air and the ball quickly flew towards Louis Williams on the other side of the three-point line.

At this time, Elton Brand was the first to run to the basket. Louis Williams yelled when he saw this. With the tacit understanding between them, Elton Brand naturally understood and quickly turned around.

Suddenly, Louis Williams's eyes went black, and a black shadow appeared in front of him like a wall, blocking the ball's route accurately, so the ball would naturally not fly into his hands again.

"Dwight!" Wu Feng yelled as soon as he got the ball. Dwight Howard, who was still behind just now, had now become the forefront of the team's attack.

Dwight Howard quickly retreated and was always confident about Wu Feng's pass. Although he was running now, the tacit understanding developed in one season made Wu Feng already understand Dwight Howard's actions and abilities. When Dwight Howard ran into the free throw line, the ball appeared accurately on his head.

The moment he took off the ball, Dwight Howard had used his body's inertia to gently tap the ground with his left toe, and he soared into the air, flying at will in the three-second zone, holding the ball in both hands and dunking heavily into the basket.

"Bang" Dwight Howard's dunk was powerful, and a huge voice resounded throughout the Vococovia Arena.

After serving, the 76ers quickly took the ball over the half. This time the offensive power was handed over to Gerald Wallace, but his high jump shot missed, and Dwight Howard took the first rebound of the game.

Vince Carter missed the right wing three-pointer without defense and the rebound was grabbed by his opponent.

Louis Williams dodged Gerald Wallace's steal and quickly led the ball through the half.

The Magic implemented a misaligned defense, and the person responsible for defending him was Gerald Wallace, and Louis Williams was the 76ers' organizational guard, and his ability to organize offense was excellent. Most of the 76ers' attacks were launched from him. As long as he completely cut off his contact with his teammates, the 76ers' offense was almost paralyzed.

The reason why Stan Van Gundy did not arrange for Wu Feng to defend him was mainly to reduce the burden on Wu Feng on the court and allow him to focus more on the offense.

Louis Williams' sharp breakthrough was simply unavailable under Gerald Wallace's close defense. Several consecutive fake moves were seen through by the experienced Gerald Wallace. Even the pick-and-rolls that Elton Brandra came out were futile under Wu Feng's assisting defense.

As time passed, Louis Williams looked very panicked. He had heard the coach's warning many times about the playoffs, but when he was facing it, he was still a little unprepared.

In the first two playoffs, the Magic's defense did not put much pressure on him, because he came on as a substitute in the first two games. When he appeared, Wu Feng had been replaced.

However, even so, he still had a head-on confrontation with Wu Feng. Only when Wu Feng was guarding him one-on-one, did he feel that he could not perform.

Louis Williams' ball was finally passed, but there were only three seconds left for Tony Barty.

Dwight Howard did not dare to relax at all at this time. He knew very well that as long as he persisted for a few more seconds, the opponent's attack would be ruined. His feet stood outside the three-second zone, his arms were raised high, and he was waiting for Tony Barty.

Tony Barty's turn and jump shot went out of the basket under the interference of Dwight Howard. Elton Brand's flexible steps rushed into the basket first, using his strong body to squeeze Brandon Bass out of the basket and easily took off the rebound.

Elton Brand twisted in the air and passed the ball to the outside. At this time, two inside players of the Magic were on high alert. As long as others landed, it would be difficult to pass the ball out.

Louis Williams felt like he wanted to cry. The game had only started for more than a minute and had been two consecutive times. He saw the ball missing. It was Wu Feng just now, and this time it was Gerald Wallace.

Unfortunately, Gerald Wallace's movements were too large, and his foot was unstable after intercepting the ball, and the ball in his hand slid out of the bottom line.

It's still the 76ers' ball.

Andres Nosioni received a pass from his teammate on the left wing, and the jump shot missed. The ball hit the front of the basket and bounced high. Several inside players under the basket competed for rebounds but failed one by one.

Wu Feng has accurate judgment on rebounding. Wu Feng took the rebound and quickly started after landing, and saved like a cheetah like lightning.

76ers head coach Doug Collins stood up excitedly and kept shouting "returning to defense" on the sidelines.

But how could Wu Feng, who was really starting at full speed, be easily caught up by his opponent?

Although Louis Williams was trying his best to retreat, he felt powerless as the two men got farther and farther away, and the other party was still controlling the ball!

The three-point line and the free throw line quickly slid under his feet. Amid the cheers of a few Magic fans, Wu Feng's passion suddenly rose, which made him feel the urge to tear everything apart.

"Ah..." Wu Feng's body soared into the air amid the shouts.

"Bang", Wu Feng dunked the basketball into the basket.

…………

With Dwight Howard's turn jump shot hit another timeout, the Sixers called a timeout.

At this time, there were seven and a half minutes left in the first quarter, and the Magic started with a 10:2 little **. Under the Magic's high-intensity defense, the 76ers' shooting missed repeatedly.

After the timeout, the 76ers strengthened their shooting from the outside, and Andres Nosioni made a three-pointer from the left wing.

Wu Feng caught the ball from the bottom line, and Zhu Holiday's reckless defense made him a headache, and Evan Turner over there quickly came. Once they were attacked, he would be in trouble.

Evan Turner was not in a hurry to get the ball. With Wu Feng's current state, if he was too tight, he just needed to fall down and press the ball under him. No one could do anything to him. At most, the Magic called a timeout.

Given Wu Feng's hope, he will try every means to adjust his posture. In this process, Wu Feng's protective ball is very fragile, and his chance is here. He just needs to wait quietly.
