298, born for the playoffs

"Wu is a player who was born for the playoffs, and I've never seen a player like him appear."

"If you want to find a superstar who is much better in the playoffs than the regular season, I'm afraid that Wu Di is the only one in the entire history."

……

The whole world is talking about Wu Di, because this guy is always so incredible in their eyes.

His playoff performance was a shocking one, turning the tide in crunch moments and scoring in the face of understatement defenses...... When the total qiē is placed on him, it always seems too simplistic.

Especially now, in the first game of the game between the Magic and the Raptors, Wu Di took over the game in the second half of the first quarter of the game.

Maddy's defense can't be said to be great, but when he's really willing to defend, he's always a threat.

However, there will always be a discrepancy between ideals and reality, and when Maddie defended Wu Di for the first time, he suffered a big loss.

……

After Milicic temporarily took O'Neal off, Wu Di started to step up and score.

And the way he did it was to go head-to-head with Maddie, which was the way he wanted it to be.

Maddie mainly defends his breakthrough, but Wu Di directly came to a dry pull-out jumper, and the ethereal feeling of three-point shooting can't help but be amazed, and the way this guy plays now has begun to take the trendy route.

In fact, Wu Di's unpretentious style of play when he first entered the NBA has changed a lot, after all, he also wants to become a popular idol superstar.

After Wu Di hit a jumper, Maddie also expressed his attention. Didn't say anything, but in the following round. Maddie returned the favor with a mid-shot.

When you see such a situation arise. The fans were excited.

In their opinion. These two guys are going to start fighting each other.

At this time, the atmosphere in the arena was relatively hot, after all, it was a bit surprising that the game was so hot in the first quarter.

In fact, the atmosphere was hot, mainly because of the confrontation between Milicic and O'Neill at the beginning of the first quarter of the game, and the two ignited the blood of the players on both sides.

And after O'Neal fouled twice, Maddie naturally needed to stand up and take over the game, so the duel between Wu Di and Maddie became the focus of O'Neal after he got off the court.

After Maddie's mid-range hit. Wu Di's heart ignited a fighting spirit, and this situation was what he expected to see. After all, competitive competitions are fun.

Subsequently, Wu Di continued to ask for the ball to play singles.

This time, Maddie learned to be smart, he just took a regular defense, and not was too inclined to defend one aspect of Wu Di's offense.

However, the situation still makes Maddie feel mad.

Wu Di continued to dribble under his crotch, and his steps forward suddenly accelerated, directly tearing Maddie's defense.

After Maddie. Wu Di only took two steps, and he rose from the ground like a spring.

When seeing Wu Di's fierce posture of dunking. Inside lineman Tony Barty, who came on as a substitute for O'Neal, dodged straight away.

This situation can make people forgive him, after all, Wu Di's dunking ability is clear to everyone.

A one-handed heavy buckle was made, and the atmosphere in the arena was a little more lively.

"Wu Di and Maddie are on a par today, these two guys obviously want to beat each other."

Just 20 seconds later, Barkley laughed when he saw Maddy hit a dry shot from beyond the three-point line.

On the court, the excitement between Wu Di's eyebrows was clearly visible, and he liked this way of competing.

"T-mac, you can't score the next goal."

Wu Di's eyes were fixed on the confident and popular superstar in front of him, and his voice seemed to be extremely affirmative.

Maddie smiled lightly and squinted her eyes: "Wu, let's not talk about whether I can score or not, it seems that you should be worried about whether you can score the next goal." I'll guard you. ”

Wu Di chuckled and shook his head quickly.

Deron Williams quickly followed up after receiving the serve, and after half-time, he handed the ball to Wu Di.

started with basketball, Wu Di didn't say much, and faced Maddie again.

Maddie's defensive advantage is that he has the same long arms as Wu Di, and his flexibility and reflexes are not inferior to Wu Di.

However, Wu Di does not think that Maddie will be his opponent now.

A tentative gesture was made, and Maddie only moved slightly.

Obviously, his defense is not risky and is extremely cautious.

And at this moment, Wu Di's steps suddenly took a step.

Maddie's eyes widened suddenly, and he quickly stepped back.

However, just as Maddie retreated, Wu Di directly pulled himself up.

"Don't think!"

Maddie let out a low snort, still jumping to follow.

However, Wu Di's bounce and bounce speed are really amazing, under such a sudden stop, he can still be nearly a meter above the ground, and at such a height, it seems difficult for Maddie, who is out of position, to interfere with him.

The basketball spun at high speed and flew out, disappearing into the basket in the blink of an eye.

"Beautiful! It's all about shooting that relies on athletic talent, and to be able to do that, I don't think there's a second guy in the whole league other than Wu Di. ”

Barkley sighed under his breath.

In fact, Wu Di's goal can be said to be completely ignoring the offense of the defense, and his jumping height and shooting ease almost make the defender helpless.

Seeing the basketball in the bag, Wu Di did not say anything, but glanced at Maddie and made a naked provocation.

Also as a first-class defender in the league, Maddie will naturally not be weaker than Wu Di in terms of momentum.

In the next goal, Maddie also directly asked for the ball and Wu Di heads-up.

Neither manager will say anything about this situation.

After all, on a stage like the playoffs, sometimes it's really a star.

Moreover, the duel between these stars affects the morale on the field to a large extent.

Whoever can finally suppress the opponent, or have the upper hand in the opponent, then his side will definitely have the advantage.

Originally, Milicic's unexpected "outburst" hit the morale of the Magic team, and now, the duel between Maddie and Wu Di is indeed very crucial.

When Maddie holds the ball. The audience suddenly resounded with the shouts of MVP.

Apparently. This is the best way to motivate a player.

Wu Di can be said to know Maddie's movements very well. He kept watching Maddie's next move.

Suddenly, I saw Wu Di's body move, and his outstretched arm reached directly at Maddie's ball carrier.

This scene came very suddenly, and the fans initially only thought that Wu Di was too confident and dared to dig the ball directly.

But for Maddie, his heart was shocked, and he didn't have time to stop it, Maddie only felt empty in his hand. He knew that the other party had seen through his intentions.

Wu Di, who succeeded in stealing the ball, immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.

Under the fierce noise interference at the scene, Wu Di's speed drove directly to the maximum yardage.

"Bang"

The hoop was deformed by Wu Di's Yan zhòng, which made people feel his progress in strength.

With the inertia of both hands, Wu Di jumped down lightly, and at this time, after performing a big windmill slam dunk, his heart was also very happy.

At this time, Wu Di's personal score in this game also appeared on the big screen, 16 points.

Maddie, on the other hand, has 11 points.

Obviously, in the first quarter of the clash between the two men. Wu Di has already gained the upper hand.

Led by Wu Di, the Raptors have maintained a suppressed morale since then.

When the first quarter of the game ends. The Raptors took an eight-point lead at 37-29.

Being able to take the lead on the road has made the young guys of the Raptors feel more confident in their hearts.

And the most obvious manifestation is Daco Milicic.

The matchup with O'Neal gave him a lot of confidence, and after O'Neal came on in the second quarter, Milicic continued to play against O'Neal as he did in the first quarter.

Although it is really worrying about him, I have to say that Milicic has done a really good job.

In the second quarter of the game, Milicic let O'Neal only stay on the court for 5 minutes, although in these 5 minutes, O'Neal turned the Raptors upside down, but what is reassuring is that O'Neal finally went down.

After O'Neal, who had three fouls on his back, went off the court, the Magic's interior became very empty.

However, the Raptors can't force the interior line, because except for Milicic, the other interior lines are really embarrassing.

However, the emptiness of the inside line also gave Wu Di a chance to break through.

In the time of O'Neal's break, Wu Di continued to break through the inside line, and finally pulled O'Neal's almost equalized score again.

Maddie struggled to support himself on the court alone, but the Raptors had a group of young people who were physically strong and kept hitting the inside, so the score difference could not be narrowed.

At halftime, many felt that the Raptors were likely going to win the game.

But people who think that way certainly don't know about the playoffs.

In the third quarter of the game, Maddy still maintained a steady firepower output, but role player Ariza scored three three-pointers in a row, and this outburst allowed the Magic to play a wave of counterattacks, chasing the score to 80-86 at the end of the third quarter.

This is not uncommon in the playoffs, where role player play is often very important as well.

With only six points remaining, the game was back in full swing.

Obviously, at this time, the players of which team can resist the pressure and play well, then they will get the fruits of the victory in the first game.

By the end of the quarter, O'Neal was clearly starting to watch out for Milicic to foul him.

But helplessly, Wu Di caused O'Neal's fifth foul in a breakaway, and considering that there are more than 8 minutes left in the game to end, everyone feels that the Magic team is going to be dangerous.

"With five fouls on his back, the Magic are in danger right now. Shaq's deterrent power on the inside is obvious to all, and if he is gone, then the Raptors should not have much of a problem winning. And, by now, I'm sure everyone has seen it more clearly, Milicic has been deliberately looking for O'Neal to foul from the first quarter of the game, obviously this is Collins' arrangement, they want to use Milicic to limit Shaq's playing time, I think this situation will observe the whole series. ”

Barkley spoke eloquently, expressing his opinion.

Miller agreed, saying, "At this point, the Raptors still have a five-point lead at 95-90, but they're almost successful, and getting Shaq to carry five fouls is undoubtedly setting the tone for the victory." Of course, unless Shaq can watch for fouls in the coming days and continue to play a little stronger, then there is hope for the Magic. ”

At this time, O'Neal is mentioned the most, after all, the most important thing in playing against the Raptors is O'Neal's play.

It's not that I'm not optimistic about Maddie, you know, Maddie needs to face Wu Di, who is no worse than him, and Wu Di's defensive ability is clear to everyone, so it's difficult for Maddie to play too well.

With Maddie and Wu Di holding each other down, it is clear that O'Neal is the key point in the series.

As predicted before the series, the Raptors' defense of O'Neal will be the most important point for them to win.

And judging by the first three quarters of the game, Collins prepared well.

Milicic's offensive ability is very good on the inside, which is why Collins will arrange for him to play too much with the ball, trying to get O'Neal to foul and then limit his playing time.

Of course, this strategy limits the Raptors' overall offense in a big way, and Milicic has been playing against O'Neal, and of course it is impossible to remain efficient.

Obviously, this defensive strategy can also be understood as Collins using Milicic's shots to reduce O'Neal's playing time.

However, judging by the first three quarters of the game, Milicic exceeded the task.

Milicic has now made 20 shots and hit 10 of them, plus 6 of 8 free throws, Milicic now contributed 26 points and 7 boards.

It can be said that Milicic's expression can only be described as stunning.

And if he wins, he'll obviously be the biggest contributor, because it's no joke to play against O'Neal, who is 60 pounds heavier.

When the timeout ended, surprisingly, the Magic still put O'Neal on the court.

Apparently this is a gamble that the Magic team wants to take, after all, if O'Neal is removed, the likelihood of them losing is too great.

O'Neal came on the court, although he was still fierce, but in the next game, he was obviously a little restrained on the court.

Still, O'Neill is tragic.

Although he tried his best to avoid a defensive foul, he ended his first game of the Eastern Conference Finals early with an offensive foul.

When O'Neal made six fouls, the momentum on the Raptors' side was already unstoppable.

A group of young lads have attacked the empty interior line of the Magic team, so the score difference is getting wider and wider.

For Maddie, his first meeting with Wu Di in the playoffs was over, and it was a shame that he lost the game.

The final score between the two sides was 107-93, with the Raptors winning by 14 points.

In this game, Milicic, who contributed 30 points and 10 boards, was elected the best of the game.

Wu Di contributed 27 points, 7 boards, 7 assists and 4 steals, and Maddie, who was opposite Wu Di, contributed 33 points and 6 boards, but he only shot 11 of 29.

In fact, in this game, the most efficient was the shark O'Neal who was enraged in the first quarter, in the whole game, O'Neal only played 22 minutes, but he was 10 of 15, and efficiently contributed 24 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocks. (To be continued......)
