Chapter 65: Three points of one meter outside the top of the arc
In Collins' view, the most important thing for the current Wizards team is to maintain their firepower, as for stopping the Magic's offense, Collins has no very good way for a while, and the change in the Magic's lineup is actually relying on Maddie and Houston to lead the whole team.
Both of them have been the absolute main force of the team, and the two are also very spiritual people, one is good at breaking through, and the other has absolute confidence in the mid-range, especially Houston has cooperated with the top two forwards, and this deal with the Knicks is now extremely worthwhile.
Based on this, Collins can only send him a set of surprises in a lineup, and I believe that the offensive strength of this lineup is only required of the team to maintain the momentum of scoring.
But Gong Feng and Kwamei don't think so, in Gong Feng's opinion, there are too many defensive holes in the Magic lineup, and the second is to feel some kind of change in Maddie.
In Kwame's opinion, he was blocked by a 'blue collar', it was really a shame to be thrown home, just now Jordan and Leitner held the ball, and they had to work defense, and now is the best time to counterattack.
After playing the court, Gong Feng received a pass, ready to attack, standing at the three-point line, Kwame immediately blocked from low to high, the Magic team has a lot of experience in the defense of the Wizards' offense, Kurt stands in front of Gong Feng and blocks Gong Feng alone, no matter what Gong Feng does, he can't single out Kurt, in terms of speed and height, Kurt has an advantage over Gong Feng.
Armstrong cut off the passing path of Bow Peak and Kwame, followed Kwame down, and Cotter raised a hand high to block Bow Peak's passing lane.
In the past few offenses, Gong Feng was still a little caught off guard in the face of such a defense, resulting in relying on Jordan to reorganize the offense many times, but now Gong Feng smiled and did not break through to the inside line, but circled outside the three-point line.
The Magic team also has its own preparations in the face of this situation, all the players immediately began to consciously shrink the inner line, and soon became a two-three defensive posture, once Kwamei received the ball, it would inevitably attract two or three people to attack, but what made the Magic team very disappointed was that Kwamei did not ask for the ball, and Gong Feng did not mean to pass to the low position.
In the face of Cotter's defense, Bow Feng took the ball to the top of the arc and slowly stepped back, and Kurt did not move again from the three-point line at the top of the arc.
The current situation is that Houston defends Hamilton, Maddie defends Gerrard, and Garrity defends Wang Zhizhi.
Everyone's position is not dominant, and the only ones who have an advantage are Gong Feng and Kwamei, but now it seems that there are traps in both of them.
In the face of Kurt's defense two meters away, Gong Feng stood one meter away from the top of the arc, and just when everyone thought that Gong Feng would either break through quickly or reorganize the attack, Gong Feng took a deep breath and relaxed Gong Feng raised the ball above his head.
Just then Houston hurriedly shouted, "Defend his shot!" ”
It's a pity that Kurt, who is still a step slower, can only watch Gong Feng throw the basketball in his hand.
The ball became unusually slow in the eyes of all the spectators and players, because the arc of the ball was very high, and the players who reacted had quickly gone to the basket to grab the rebounds, but Kwameco did not give these people a chance, and he occupied a strong place in the three-second zone, and no one would be his opponent in the rebounding grab.
It's a pity that these people have done useless work, and Gong Feng's three-point shot designed by this hit has been scored!
One meter away from the three-point line, the shot went in!
Collins looked at Gong Feng a little stupidly, although there are many people in the NBA who have done and scored such shots, but no player dares to say that he is sure enough about his shot in this position?
But today's Gongfeng seems to have broken this rule?
Because Collins looked at Gong Feng's expression from beginning to end, Gong Feng did not change his expression from the block to the current position, and he was extremely relaxed when shooting...... Shooting is what Gong Feng wants to do now!
The Magic's offense, probably due to the suddenness of the Bow Peak's three-pointer, Houston's adjusted shot after receiving the ball did not go in!
Kwame grabbed the rebound and quickly passed to Gong Feng, but Gong Feng did not rush to the front court, just took the ball and stood one meter outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, looking at Armstrong with his eyes firmly fixed on him.
Just when Kwamei came to Gong Feng, the defender was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't know what to do, Gong Feng shot again!
The ball still went in!
The Wizards' home court was completely boiling in an instant!
The Wizards, who scored 6 points in a row, overtook the Magic by 1 point!
Rivers immediately called a long timeout, not to mention the rest, at least it took time to let Gong Feng's feel cool down, and even more to stabilize his own emotions.
The people in Kwamei hugged Gong Feng down to rest, and Collins shook his head helplessly when he saw this, looking at Gong Feng and not knowing what to say. It's only been less than a minute and a half...... It turns out that Gong Feng said that the loopholes of the magic team are like this?
No player asks if Gong Feng is sure to shoot again, trust is the most important thing at this time, and no one takes the initiative to touch Gong Feng's palms, arms and head now...... This is something that Gong Feng often warns his teammates, and as a shooter, Gong Feng's current state seems to some people to be unattainable.
Gong Feng smiled shyly at his teammate's performance, but he really didn't explain anything.
At the middle line of the arc, a meter away from the three-point line, this is a killer feature hidden by Gong Feng, if Gong Feng is allowed to shoot at a meter away from the three-point line, the current 50 percent shooting rate will immediately drop to about 25 percent. It can be said that after entering the playoffs, Gong Feng deliberately chose a time period to practice to have the current effect.
However, this kind of thing is more burdensome to say, and it is easier to be noticed by the other party, if you see Gong Feng's report after the game, you will know what Gong Feng's shooting selection is after a careful study.
Gong Feng, who thought of this, smiled, but didn't care, since he deliberately went to practice, so he could shoot these two baskets?
Such efficiency is too wasteful for Gong Feng.
After coming on the court, the Magic team took advantage of Wang Zhizhi's footsteps to be a little slower than Garriti to score a time-poor offense.
slapped the bow peak on Wang Zhizhi's buttocks fiercely, didn't care about receiving the ball and continued to attack, standing at the three-point line and beckoning Kwamei to come over to block and dismantle again.
Kort faced Gong Feng independently again, and Gong Feng, who smiled at this, dribbled again, just when Gong Feng received the ball and stood one meter outside the three-point line at the top of the arc and made a three-threat posture that could shoot, Kurt insisted on stepping forward immediately and began to press as if to defend, but Gong Feng immediately broke through with the ball.
Kurt is excellent defensively and a heavyweight player in the low post, almost one step of defense can keep up with the bow, but this is outside the three-point line, or the small man with the ball is on the offensive side, no matter how slow the bow peak is, it will become extremely fast in front of Cott, not to mention that no one outside the three-point line can help Kurt to cover the bow.
Gong Feng, who quickly broke through to the inside, quickly made a crotch dribble in the process of Kurt's hurried retreat, did not wait for the arrival of the inside bag, but stabilized it, and before Kurt stabilized his steps, he threw the ball, and Gong Feng's current position is just outside the three-point line.
Gong Feng, who felt hot in his hand, scored a goal again.
This time, Rivers didn't call a timeout, but made a gesture with his hands crossed...... Since Gong Feng's hand is so hot now, the Magic team must of course choose the last option.
This time the attack was Maddy who forced Gerrard to score a successful goal.
Seeing this, Gong Feng and Kwamei narrowed their eyes at the same time, looked at each other, and nodded to each other.
Now that the offense has broken the situation by Gong Feng, the next step is to work on defense. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to any attacking formation.
Gong Feng dribbled to the front court again, this time Kwumeco did not step forward to block the pick-and-roll, but brought Kurt to the side, and Gerrard quickly stepped forward to block the pick-and-roll.
Rivers screamed when he saw this situation, and Rivers, who knew something about Maddie, certainly knew what Maddie's choice was.
While Armstrong was still going to cover the bow peak according to the regulations, Gerrard had already received a ground-hitting pass and rushed into the interior to dunk and score as quickly as he was holding a dynamite bag.
