"In the third game between the Magic and the Raptors, Maddy was 14 of 34, contributing 40 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, and the Magic won."

"In the fourth game between the Magic and the Raptors, Maddy was 16 of 40, contributing 48 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal, and the Magic lost."

"In the fifth game between the Magic and the Raptors, Maddy was 17 of 37, contributing 50 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals, and the Magic won."

"In the sixth game between the Magic and the Raptors, Maddy was 12-of-30 and contributed 37 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, and the Magic won."

……

Such a number appeared on the big screen of the Mizuya Center Arena, and the heat wave in the Mizuya Center at this time was churning.

The Eastern Conference Finals tiebreaker is taking place here, and the battle is already heating up.

The reason why Maddie's personal table for the entire series appeared at this time was mainly to convey some information.

In this game, O'Neal, who was the most feared by the Raptors, only got 13 shots, while Maddie had a terrifying 41.

This situation is puzzling, can it be said that O'Neill has no problem with this?

Of course, there are opinions, but they are not taken seriously by the Magic coaching staff, and in the next four games of this series, O'Neal's table has been stable at 20+10, although the number of shots has not been much, but the coaching staff believes that he has done his job.

Obviously, anyone can feel that this is Maddy conquering Van Gundy with his single-series average of nearly 40+ per game, so that Van Gundy completely uses him as the core to fight against the Raptors.

But it has to be said. Van Gundy should have regretted it at this point. He regretted not taking more responsibility on O'Neill.

Live teams around the world are talking about the game. And there is a kind of regret in their voices:

"It was a tie-break in the Eastern Conference Finals, the game between the Orlando Magic and the Toronto Raptors, and it was the Magic who called a timeout, and with 1:13 left in the game, the Magic still trailed by four points 89:93. Obviously, at this time, the situation of the game can be said to have entered the white heat, who can win in the end? ”

That being said, But everyone can hear that these commentators are sorry for the Magic team.

Barkley was blunt at this point, saying: "If Tracey could have handed the ball to Shaq more, then this ball, I'm afraid they would have already gone home with the win." But unfortunately, he did not do so, he was already blindfolded by the number jù. Or rather, he was disturbed by the title of the league's No. 1 quarterback. ”

Barkley was certainly not wrong in saying that in the entire series, Maddie had only two games in which he had fewer than 30 shots. That is, the first two games of the series.

But in the next four games, Maddie inexplicably began to dominate the ball like crazy. This messed up the Magic's offensive tactics.

Although Van Gundy reformulated the tactic, it seemed to be inadequate.

Many people thought that perhaps Van Gundy was stunned by Maddie's scoring performance, which made him finally ignore O'Neal.

In this game, Maddie shot more, and the offensive balance of the Magic team was completely destroyed, and the most opinionated was O'Neal, but O'Neal could only swallow his anger, after all, in his opinion, as long as he could win, then what did he have to shoot less.

However, O'Neal's accommodation was one of the reasons why today's game had come to this point, with 1:13 left in the game, Maddie had already made 41 shots and hit just a dreaded 14.

The 42-point table can't hide Maddie's ugliness, after all, if he didn't care too much about the comparison with Wu Di, then this would not have happened.

Pause, naturally, is the time to solve the problem.

The atmosphere in the center of the water house is hot, but in this hot atmosphere, it is mixed with the doubts of the fans for the first time.

Obviously, these fans will also talk about Maddie's dominance of the ball, after all, this is a team owned by two superstars.

Miller also shook his head at this time and sighed: "I am afraid that Tracy is the first to be able to turn Shaq O'Neal into a blue-collar player." ”

When Miller said this, on the big screen in the arena, O'Neal was 6-of-9, 2-of-4 from the free-throw line, contributing 14 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks.

It seems that the situation is really as Miller suggests, and O'Neal is more of a blue-collar center than the interior ruler that Maddie was so keen to invite in the first place.

At this moment, on the side of the field, the atmosphere of the place where the two teams are located is also very different.

The Raptors are relatively relaxed, and Wu Di is celebrating with his teammates and then listening to Collins' arrangement.

Obviously, in this tie-breaker, they only need to work hard for the last step to be able to move towards the stage of the finals.

Therefore, they were making the final insistence, and Wu Di spoke from time to time, signaling his teammates to be calm, not to underestimate the enemy, and to fight this last minute.

However, with a four-point lead, the Raptors are somewhat relaxed, and this relaxation is definitely a good signal at this critical moment, after all, in the NBA, most of the abnormal play at critical moments is due to nervousness.

The Magic side has attracted the attention of the fans, and no one will care about the situation on the Raptors' side at this time, after all, as the home team, they prefer the Magic team to advance to the Finals.

Maddie sat in a seat on the sidelines, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Van Gundy was almost ready by this point, while the players were waiting for the timeout to end.

The atmosphere was a bit oppressive, and no one wanted to say anything more, after all, they had fallen here this time last year.

When the referee's whistle blows, the Magic players come on.

At this moment, Maddie opened his mouth to stop O'Neal, who had a gloomy face, and his voice was apologetic: "Shaq, I admit that I am too obsessed with competing with Wu Di. I'm responsible for the whole series, you can resent me, that's where I did wrong. ”

O'Neill heard. I was also surprised in my heart. In two years of getting along. He knows Maddie's character. The whole guy never apologized to anyone, but today, he was willing to do it.

The gloom in O'Neal's eyes has dissipated a little, and he can understand it, after all, players have a heart for comparison, and in his 11-year career, O'Neill himself has had this situation, he said it is understandable.

To know. When the OK group fought side by side at the beginning, he was able to forgive Kobe for his willful nonsense, and at that time, Kobe Bryant would never bow his head and admit his mistakes.

And now, Maddie is willing to do so, how can O'Neill not forgive him?

In fact, at O'Neal's age, he would prefer to trade this year's championship for a teammate worthy of him, and now, Maddie's candor seems to have found him a sense of belonging.

At his age, so to speak. On a good partner and a championship, he would rather choose the former. Because only by choosing the former will you have the possibility of winning the championship again.

O'Neill reflexively patted Maddie's shoulder, although he didn't smile, but said with a hint of relief: "Tracy, the game is not over yet, how to fight, it's okay." That's the game, it's the NBA, there's a win and there's a loss. Of course, the game isn't over yet, and it's too late for us to go and overturn them. ”

Maddie heard this, and a smile tugged at his lips, he finally understood O'Neal, this big man actually has a tolerant heart.

Maddie held out her hand, high-fived O'Neal, and said no more.

"What are these two guys doing? Could it be that Shaq forgave Tracy for his nonsense? Oh my God, when did this shark become a warm animal? It's incredible. ”

Barkley pouted, talking about his own speculation, and he really couldn't understand the situation.

You know, just now he thought about it, if the Magic team loses again this time, will the two of them part ways?

But from now on, O'Neal seems to have forgiven Maddie.

Miller also saw this scene, only to see him chuckle and say, "You don't understand Shaq's world, this big guy is now 34 years old, and you still expect him to toss for a few more years?" Maddie is still young, and as long as they are together, they will always get what they want. And sometimes setbacks are a way to hone one. ”

Hearing this, Barkley nodded thoughtfully.

Players from both sides come to their feet and the game resumes.

At this time, the ball belongs to the Orlando Magic, and the server is Ariza, the American forward who was famous in high school, has completely made his mark in the playoffs, so it is at this time that Van Gundy will trust him and put him on the court in the most important moments.

At this time, Wu Di is naturally targeting Maddie, and he will not give the other party any chance.

Because the game is at the final decisive moment, the two sides will naturally fight hard every round.

First, in the service session, the players were almost body-to-body.

However, in the midst of a nervous cry at the scene, the basketball still came out, and the receiver was Maddie.

Maddie gets the ball and clasps it behind his head with both hands while he surveys the court.

"I don't know how the final tactics of the Magic team are arranged, do you still want Tracy to attack?"

Such thoughts fill everyone's mind.

In fact, this is also what everyone is worried about, because judging from this game, Maddie's state is not good.

……

On the field, the tension has enveloped everyone's hearts.

"Are you going to go on the offensive? In fact, it doesn't matter if you score or not, you will lose this game. ”

Wu Di's eyes flickered, and the confidence on his face appeared in Maddie's eyes without reservation.

A smile tugged at the corner of Maddie's lips as he dribbled two steps forward before handing the ball inside.

"Shaq grabbed the position on the inside, Tracy passed, the ball was passed right, Shaq turned ~ dunked. With Dacomilisic's dunk, he helped the Magic score two points. ”

The voice of the narrator is always there, and it is full of excitement.

Miller also said at this time: "If we had done it earlier, I think the Magic team should be celebrating by now." ”

When Barkley heard this, he smiled and said: "Reggie, it's not necessarily now, the game is still going on, it's really hard to say who loses and who wins." ”

While the two were talking, the fans in the Waterhouse Center Arena were already standing up excitedly, and in their opinion, the Magic at this time was more like a team, Maddie was willing to pass the ball, and they had hope of turning the tables.

……

O'Neal's face was still grim after the goal, and he raised his hand to Maddie before quickly backing away.

Seeing this, Wu Di also secretly screamed in his heart. In his opinion, if O'Neill chisels on the inside, then the victory they have in hand is afraid to slip away.

However, Wu Di is just comforting himself not to worry too much now, after all, they still hold a two-point advantage.

DeLong dribbled past half court, threw the ball directly to Wu Di, and then ran away.

And the defensive focus of the Magic team on the court is obviously on Wu Di, after all, at this moment, the ball will definitely be concentrated in the hands of the core players of both sides.

For the Magic team, Wu Di is their most feared player. In the entire series, although Maddie was able to score an average of 40 points per game, Wu Di was also able to score an average of 35 points per game, and the shooting rate exceeded 60%, and the efficiency was extremely terrifying.

Therefore, it can be said that Maddie's luxury number jù is piled up with a hand, while Wu Di's luxury is the embodiment of efficiency.

Wu Di's terrible appearance in the entire series has also made the Magic team always guard against him, so at such an important moment now, if possible, Van Gundy definitely doesn't want Wu Di to catch the ball.

But now, Wu Di has received the ball, and the Magic's entire defensive attention can only be on Wu Di.

It was at this time that a surprising situation arose.

Wu Di passed the ball, and when everyone thought he was going to shoot, he changed his movements in the air and passed the ball instead.

Although this ball is a pass, the lethality is very large, like a sharp blade, directly inserted into the heart of the Magic team, so that their newly revived vitality fell back to the original point again.

It was Matt Bonner, who received the ball with the least contribution of the five starters in the entire series, and the Red Mamba scored his only dunk of the series.

At 95:91, there are 40 seconds left.

In the subsequent attack, it was still Maddie who held the ball and handed it to O'Neal.

This time, O'Neal's inside shot caused Milicic to foul, and the basketball ended up in the basket after bouncing twice on the basket.

It's not the most powerful, it's amazing that at such a critical moment, O'Neal hits a free throw.

The 2+1 situation has completely plunged the center of the water house into a frenzy......

The fans shouted slogans of victory, and obviously, these guys were hoping that the home team would turn the tables and bring the victory back.

However, they ignored the most terrifying person, Wu Di, a magical character who has often staged big heart reversal performances since his rookie season.

Just 10 seconds later.

Wu Di was blocked by Maddy and Ariza and pulled three points from beyond the three-point line.

Especially when he chooses to shoot, the kind of relaxed confidence that the whole person looks like is full of admiration.

The basketball crashed into the hoop, completely extinguishing the heat that had just risen in the center of the water house.

The domineering and strong nature of this goal made fans all over the world crazy, you know, Wu Di's goal almost helped the Raptors lock up the victory.

"It was probably the greatest goal of the playoffs so far, and it went straight to helping the Raptors qualify for the Finals, and the lad finally made it back to the Finals."

Barkley and Miller looked at Wu Di who was celebrating with three fingers on the court at the same time, and their eyes were full of relief. (To be continued......)
