Chapter 61: Bow Peak, Valued and Ignored by Magic

With all the Wizards fully prepared, they ushered in the first trip to the Eastern Conference Finals since the Wizards championship in '78-'79.

The city where the Wizards are located is Washington, although the team has changed its name many times in history, the team's city has not changed, the Lakers still moved from other cities to Los Angeles, but the basketball team in Washington has not changed.

The overall winner of '78? How far away is that? I believe that more than ninety percent of Washington fans don't know the events of that era, and the current Wizards are constantly creating their own history.

After Gong Feng got the pass, he quickly glanced around, and the Magic team was really ready, and at the moment when Gong Feng received the ball, everyone quickly got into position at half court, and did not give the Wizards a chance to raid.

Gong Feng just smiled at this and didn't care in the slightest, he would do this if he valued himself, if the magic team didn't study him, it would make him hate him very much, now, it's just that his mental power is more concentrated.

After dribbling to the frontcourt, it was Houston who stepped up to defend him.

Maddie really found Jordan's location directly, Mark also followed closely next to Gerrard, Ewing did not defend Kwame on the inside, but came out to defend Wang Zhizhi.

It seems that both teams have a new understanding of each other.

Gong Feng, who knew this, smiled, looked at Houston in front of him, and thought very indifferently: "You don't really think that I won't attack, right?" Can Houston stop me? ”

Houston is the king of mid-range shooting and a super scorer, but Houston is not a qualified defensive player, compared to Gongfeng's past opponent Iverson, Davis is inferior, because although his physical condition is still in good condition, he is too calm and really not suitable as a defensive player.

Looking at the opponent in front of him, Gong Feng wanted to try his first attack for the first time.

Looking at the bow peak that kept dribbling, even Collins was surprised, let alone Houston, who was defending the bow peak.

There is no feint, the false bow peak broke through directly on the right hand, although Houston's figure is about the same as Gong Feng, but Houston's footsteps are obviously one step behind, when Houston, who adjusted his pace in the chase, was about to forcibly stick to Gong Feng, Gong Feng's hand had already been raised, in Cott? Thomas came over and threw the ball out before he defended, and it went in!

This is what Gong Feng and Parker learned, although the speed is definitely not as fast as the other party, but Gong Feng thinks that his own sense of rhythm is definitely stronger than Parker's.

The Wizards wore a traditional red T-shirt on their home court today, which was the traditional color of the Wizards when they were still the Bullets, and Jordan cited this color to make the Wizards' players play more bloody.

Watching Gong Feng open the score, all the fans let out the biggest shout, this is the shout that the fans have been waiting for for a long time, although the fans of the Wizards are not the most fanatical, but on the stage of the Eastern Conference finals, all the fans on the scene will definitely not be stingy with their voices.

"It was Gong Feng who scored the first goal? The rookie's mental quality is really good, the first time he played a game of this level in the Eastern Conference Finals, the first time he didn't hand the ball to the team's star, but played it himself? Hopefully this is the coach's arrangement, because going on to do so will definitely disrupt the Magic's defensive arrangement! ”

"The most important thing this rookie performs is constant self-change, and he is much more adaptable than many rookies and players, whether it is a change in the Wizards' system or the playoffs, he can quickly find his own position, and even more rare is to help his teammates find their own position."

"That's really the case when you say that, no wonder the league included him in the league's third team, the top three point guards in the East, the Wizards can achieve such results this year, no one can underestimate his role in it!"

"It's the Magic's turn to attack, and sure enough, it was Jordan who defended Mark, and even the defense of the whole court at the beginning, stepped on Mark who passed half the court and handed the ball to Maddy, which is a result that everyone is looking forward to, especially Jordan's defense of Mark, Maddie is the strongest point of the Magic team."

Gerrard's height and reach are definitely about the same as Maddie's, but why is Gerrard still at the bottom of the draft? You must know that Gerrard was also 19 years old when he entered the league, the same age as Gong Feng and Kwame.

Of course, Gerrard's individual offense is really poor, and he hasn't developed a stable offense, but in other words, it proves that Gerrard's physical fitness as a player is really not bad, otherwise Collins would never have let him defend Maddie.

Maddie's first step offense is very fast, explosive, and the dribble between the marches is even more unguardable, but at this time Maddie still has shortcomings in the offense, the first is that the three-point shooting is not very accurate, and the shooting rate is just more than 30%, which is about the point where it takes 4 balls to score 1 goal.

Therefore, after the Wizards coaching staff discussed, Gerrard's current posture appeared, giving space to shoot outside the three-point line, mainly to follow Maddy's breakthrough footsteps, coerce the opponent in the breakthrough, and squeeze the opponent.

Of course, it is unrealistic to completely limit Maddie on the inside, but it is still possible to let his shooting percentage drop.

For example, Maddie hit the iron in the first ball, Kwamei forced Cook to grab the rebound, and quickly passed to Gong Feng, after receiving the pass, Gong Feng quickly started, Wang Zhizhi and Gerrard ran forward desperately.

At this time, only Houston and Maddy can follow these three, the Wizards have a 3-on-2 chance in 1 second, Wang Zhizhi's speed is a little slower, but when Gong Feng enters the three-second zone, he reaches the three-point line.

Gong Feng faced Houston's defense and made a posture of returning the three-point line, but quickly took a step towards the right side of Houston and jumped quickly, but Maddie had already opened his hands under the basket and waited for Gong Feng's arrival, Gong Feng, who paused in the air, had a smile on his face, and the hand of the layup was directly passed to Gerrard, who had accelerated forward, and Gerald, who received the ball, had fully jumped.

The Wizards' fast-break ended with a slam dunk.

At this time, the rest of the Magic team was only entering the three-point line, while the Wizards' Kwame and Jordan were only slowly moving.

Rivers frowned and looked at Bow Peak, who was unusually active, and looked in the direction of Collins in surprise.

"When Maddie goes to defend Jordan, it is our opportunity to come, Gong Feng, I want you to play all your strength, let everyone see all your strength, just treat Jordan at this time as a shooter, you can be the star of the Wizards, if you can't do it, give me peace of mind to be someone else's deputy!"

This sentence completely ignited Gong Feng's enthusiasm, since he has a helper, he will definitely not be afraid of anyone or any team.

The Magic team attacked, Mark faced Jordan's defense, did not rush to pass, and did not want to play Jordan with his back alone, as a player in the Jordan era, of course Mark knew what kind of person Jordan was, and it would be too bad to arouse Jordan's heart in this game.

Houston began to run constantly after Mark was in place, with the help of Ewing and Cotter, he began to keep running to get rid of Bow Peak's defense, and Bow Peak did not follow Houston closely, but just walked within a step of Houston, and his performance was too calm.

Soon Houston found a position to receive the pass, turned around and made full movements, the basketball had been shot, Houston believed that the goal must have been scored, but at this moment a hand appeared in front of the ball and blocked the way of the ball.

Houston felt a little stunned in the face of the owner of this hand, and Gong Feng did not pause at all after covering this ball, and ran directly to the front court, sure enough, after Wang Zhizhi received the basketball, he quickly passed it to Gong Feng, who had accelerated forward, and when Mark was just following Jordan to move forward quickly, when Maddie returned to defend Gong Feng, Gerald once again received Gong Feng's pass and slam dunk successfully.

Gong Feng, who scored 2 points, 2 assists and 1 block in the opening game, completely stole everyone's attention.

The Wizards got off to an excellent start with a 6-0 run.
