The Magic team started off with a big difference from their usual performance, after Darrell dribbled to the frontcourt, he directly handed the ball to Maddy, and then started to run with the bow peak, and after a certain distance, Maddie directly faced Gerrard's defense.

Gong Feng has no space to help defend Maddy, Jordan is even more unlikely to contain Maddy, this treatment was only available to Johnson back then, and now Jordan, who is now famous, is even more unlikely to take the initiative to do so, and Houston's shooting is also the focus of the Wizards' need to guard against.

As for the cooperation between the interior and Gerrard, it is useless in this game, because Maddy is facing such a defense to take the initiative to attack the interior of the Wizards, and the success rate of Maddie who is so resolute in attacking is still very high, Gerrard has three fouls in the first quarter is one of the proofs of Maddy's strong attack.

Collins, who had no choice, could only send Nesby who was still in his prime, but when facing Maddie, who had already killed the red-eyed, Nesby was not as good as Gerrard, and he didn't even dare to foul him...... As a non-draft player, as a professional player with a year's salary remaining, Nesby seems to have forgotten his most important attitude issue, and thinks that the Wizards value his offensive power now......

Collins, who was very angry about this, directly replaced him and replaced him with another veteran, Puoboye, although the veteran behaved normally, and would use vicious fouls to counterattack, but now his physical condition can no longer keep up with Maddie's fast pace, and soon after the start of the second quarter, he was replaced after 3 fouls.

Looking at the forward line sitting off the court when only Hamilton could be used, Collins smiled bitterly and could only say sorry to Hamilton in his heart, Maddie in this state is impossible to let Jordan defend, Collins would rather lose this game than let Jordan defend......

What makes Collins a little relieved is that Gong Feng, Jordan, and Kwame performed very normally, without any influence from Maddie, and they can still follow the back of the Magic team to take the initiative to chase points, but Leitner and Wang Zhizhi, who are the most active in helping to defend, are still affected, and when Collins sent Oakley to play as a forward, you can guess the high score that Maddie got in this game.

30 points at halftime!

18 of these 30 points came from free throws, and the Wizards' forward team used 10 fouls and two 2+1 to achieve Maddy's brilliant achievements at the moment!

Fortunately, at halftime, the Wizards were only eight points behind.

Although the Magic team is unusually ferocious on offense, they still can't be completely sure when it comes to defending the Wizards.

But when Rivers sent Houston-led Mark, Grant, Ewing and veteran Monty? Williams, the Wizards bench team led by Hubert began to collapse, looking at the third quarter of the game did not show the Magic's lone hero style in the first half, the terrifying control held by the Magic team in the third quarter, and Houston's pride as the king of mid-range shooting was completely displayed in the third quarter.

Even after Gong Feng and other main forces came on the field, there was no way to stop a group of veterans who just wanted to play a game!

Maddy, who rested for nearly 30 minutes, continued to play in the fourth quarter, and Maddy, who controlled the rhythm, was even more terrifying, invincible disguised breakthroughs, and superb mid-range dry pulling skills made the Wizards helpless...... How similar was this game to Game 3 against the 76ers?

It's just that there are some differences from that time, the Wizards have no particularly obvious mistakes in the layout of this game, and they also put down all the burdens to take the initiative to fight when it is time to fight.

When many people see this situation, their first impression is probably that there is a slight gap between these two teams in terms of strength! In other words, when everyone plays, the gap that exists is like the difference in the strength of the Wizards team after the All-Star break against the Kings, who played very normally at the time.

This is also the biggest confidence of the Magic team, after reaching a deal with the Knicks, the Magic team can play two teams with completely different styles, and both styles are finals-level existence to a certain extent.

The final difference of 18 points was like a big joke on the Wizards, as if it was the mentality of the Kings at that time, "When I really use you as an opponent, you won't have a chance at all, and if you teach you a lesson, you will teach you a lesson!" Are you not convinced? Who cares how you feel? ”

When a reporter asked Rivers after the game why he hadn't done it before, Rivers gave his own answer: "Two teams are two teams, which is nothing to be proud of for me as a coach, but how the main players of these two players can integrate into one team and play their full skills is what I am most concerned about at the moment." ”

This sentence was not finished, but the meaning was already very obvious, the goal of the Magic team at the beginning was just to stare at the opponent in the finals.

When facing a team like the Kings or the Wizards, it is possible to rely on the different styles of the two teams to win the game, but when facing the Lakers, can the Kings still do the same?

When Collins heard this answer after the game, his face immediately changed with great richness, and when Gong Feng heard what he wanted to say here, Jordan directly took the lead and stood up, and said with a sneer: "It seems to be 2-1 now, right?" With such a performance, the Magic team still wants to enter the Finals? Hopefully, Maddie will still be able to score 30 points at halftime in Game 4, and Houston will be able to score 28 points in the following games...... First of all, I wish you all the best of luck! ”

After finishing speaking, Jordan immediately got up and was about to leave, but Collins suppressed Jordan, who was about to get up and leave, and said: "There is a question in this game, I would like to ask Coach Rivers, can your players continue to maintain this state?" I really want to defeat the magic in this state! ”

Before Rivers answered, the reporters at the bottom first began to boil, this is the rhythm of firing at each other, the two sides are really angry, such a showdown with the Lakers, the king's current war of words can completely raise the page about the NBA to a higher level!

It's just that after answering such a hot question, the coaches of both sides seemed to wake up and began a silent journey with each other, no longer paying attention to the sharp questions raised by reporters, but began to play official.

Although the initial Q&A was enough for these reporters to use their imagination, and although Maddie and Houston also responded and answered, the reporters always felt a sense of discordant calm......

Because the next answer of these players is too official, the highlight that needs is that there is no place to go!

Finally, when the time was about to end, a reporter finally asked Gong Feng, who was sitting next to Collins, "How do you feel when you see Maddie scoring as much as he wants under the full defense of his teammates, even under the fierce foul play?" ”

When Gong Feng heard this question, he tilted his head and smiled, and replied in a very ethereal tone: "It's really a beautiful pleasure to go with your teammates to defeat a superstar in his prime. ”

All the reporters were stunned when they heard this answer......

"There is no such thing as a game of basketball, the moment you think you can win, you are already on the verge of defeat, and as for what kind of gap or something, I just want to say at this time, for the Magic, miracles are everywhere!"

"Gong Feng, do you want to say that Maddie and Houston will never have the competitive level in this game in the future? Or can you defend against them and they can't play the offense they have now? ”

"Gong Feng, do you think this game is just a kind of trial for the Wizards before the Finals......"

Fortunately, the Q&A meeting ended immediately, and the words of Jordan and Collins also blocked the limelight for Gong Feng a little, otherwise the news about the arrogant first-year rookie in tomorrow's sports section will definitely occupy the front page.

But that's it, Gong Feng also stole a little limelight from everyone in the end, especially when Gong Feng had that kind of contempt and arrogant expression on his face, the reporters were even more crazy.
