Basketball: The Chosen Victim

Chapter 114 Lore Magic!

As soon as the fourth quarter came up, Howard faced Jordan and scored a two plus one.

"Damn you! A softie who only makes fouls!"

With Wu Di's example in front, Jr. Jordan is no longer afraid of Howard, and spouts trash talk at him as he walks to the checkpoint.

Howard, who was in the penalty area, heard the words, his anger was instantly full, and then... he showed his sandbag-sized muscles in the air.

He couldn't understand why the Cavaliers players weren't afraid of him, and Wu Di was like that, but Jordan, a guy who hadn't settled down in the starting lineup, wasn't afraid of him?

But Howard thought of the chicken soup for the soul that Van Gundy just poured into him——

"Only giving the Cavaliers a three-game losing streak is the greatest revenge for them", "The more they mess with your mentality, the more they are afraid of you", "Your restraint is great. You are such a cultivated star." Wait, he instantly entered the state of unity of mind!
Then he held his breath and shot a free throw at the Cavaliers' basket...

Bang!
Damn!

His free throws doubled again!

Jordan stuck him tightly, and Wu Di took off the rebound above Lewis' head!
88-78!

Cavaliers possession of the ball!
"Let's blow the horn of counterattack, go, Cavaliers!"

Along with the DJ's contagious shouting of mics, the scene instantly resounded with cheers. The Cavaliers have already lost two games in a row. If they lose again, the ranking will drop to seventh place!

And if they win the game, they can squeeze the Eagles back to fifth place!

"Damn, I hate the Cavaliers' basket, I hate the Cavaliers' DJ, I hate Wu Di, I hate Jordan, I hate..."

Howard yelled in collapse as he returned to defense.

But to no avail, Wu Di quickly hit a 3-pointer against Bass' block!
88-81!

With Williams and Sessions off and Davis and Anthony Parker on, the Cavaliers re-established an effective line of defense against the Magic.

But at the critical moment of the fourth quarter, Britney Lewis was basically immune to Wu Di's trash talk offensive, and his touch started to get hot again.

The difference in height and wingspan between the two is too great. With Wu Di's current static talent, it is really difficult to give effective restrictions. He can only throw more fiercely and more waves.

Lewis' thinking is still traditional, that is, the closer the shot is to the basket, the better. Although he will deliberately run for three-pointers, it is far less exaggerated than Wu Di.

The game has once again become a competitive stage of "2 points" vs "3 points". What is gratifying is that the short board that the Cavaliers are most afraid of, that is, the inside line, has also stabilized a little bit under Jordan's explosion!

"Today Warcraft played too exhaustingly in front of it. In the fourth quarter, I can't keep up with my stamina! Little Jordan played more and more courageously. The Cavaliers really picked up the treasure. The center with an annual salary of less than 100 million actually fought against Warcraft. Throughout the game, and at the most critical moment in the fourth quarter, they were able to fight back and forth with Warcraft!"

In the CCTV live broadcast room, two guests were excitedly explaining the game.

"However, the Magic's outside touch is too hot. Lewis, Redick, and Nelson are blooming in turn. The Cavaliers only have Wu Di, and Wu Di's physical exertion is also very serious. His shooting percentage has dropped a lot compared to the first quarter. The point difference between the two teams is 7. Alternating back and forth between points and 9 points..."

"WOOO! The cap is off! The cap is off! Little Jordan is off the strong hit of Warcraft! Bloody cap! Little Jordan is such an amazing soldier! It's unbelievable! This is medicine..."

"Let the ball be handed over to Wu Di. Let's see if there is any ball, eh? Bass' foul move is a bit big! This is the home court of the Cavaliers. Can the referee call it?"

"Very good, called Bass' foul, and made three free throws...all of them! The point difference is only 5 points! Wu Di also worked hard today. He made 12 of 10 free throws in the game, which is much higher than the previous few games! "

"Hey, Coach Van Gundy called a timeout again. It really should be called a timeout. Who dared to predict this situation before the game? The Cavaliers can still rely on the inside to chase points in the fourth quarter! They are facing Howard's magic!"

"The on-site director gave the camera to Howard, hehe, Howard's expression is so dazed! Those who didn't know thought he was facing O'Neal!"

"Sure enough, every simple thing called Jordan, coupled with the face of this uncle, tsk tsk, Jordan has given us too many surprises in these few games. First he played to defend James, and then he played against Warcraft. Scott The coach is really good at training recruits!"

"Back on the court, with less than 6 minutes left in the game, the Magic replaced Carter, and Bass' foul count has reached 4 times. Coach Van Gundy really needs to control his fouls..."

"Nelson faced Davis with a layup...hit, and the point difference came to 7 points again! Who said Van Gundy can only defend but not attack? Isn't it good to not attack? Oh my God, this What are you going to do, why did you suddenly foul..."

"Oh, the number of fouls by the Magic has reached, and Coach Van Gundy actually used the tactic of killing Joe! Hehe, Coach Van Gundy himself laughed. Before, he was attacked by others, and now he still has the day to kill Joe!"

"Jordan's free throw percentage last season was only 37.5%, much lower than Howard's free throw percentage of 59.6%. Sure enough, he missed the first free throw! Carter replaced him, so he was waiting here!"

The boos at the scene had become one, the fans almost rolled their eyes to the sky, and even the DJ was mocking the Magic. The tactics of chopping Joe were not only a waste of time, but also worthless!
The most important thing is that the Magic have been plagued by hacking tactics for a long time. This time, facing the Cavaliers chasing points, they even used hacking tactics against the Cavaliers when they led by 7 points!

Is there a more doggy head coach than Van Gundy? !

On the sidelines, Scott looked at the arrogant Van Gundy on the other side, clenching his fists to resist the urge to rush up and punch him!

What's the matter, the Cavaliers finally narrowed the point difference, and Fan Laogou actually played this game for him!
I have seen shameless people, I have never seen such shameless people!

If that's the case, then you can only be shameless!

Scott also called a timeout:
"We'll kill Huo later, remember, be more decisive in fouling, we must delay the time..."

"Little Jordan, you played very well today. If you make free throws more accurate later, it will be perfect!"

"Wu Di, see if you can influence the fans at the scene and let them interfere with Howard when he makes a free throw. This is very important, otherwise we will be in big trouble!"

Although Jordan's shooting rate is not as good as Howard's, the Cavaliers still have a chance, because this is the Cavaliers' home court!

After the timeout ended, Jordan found Wu Di nervously when he came on the court:

"Boss, can you make our fans stop being so messy?"

"Let me try!"

Wu Di nodded and found the cameraman. The on-site director immediately switched to his close-up after seeing this scene.

He raised his outstretched palms, and then handsomely clenched his fists towards the auditorium. The fans instantly understood what he meant, and immediately stopped their voices, and the huge arena fell silent in an instant.

Van Gundy, who was still alive just now, saw this situation, and his face collapsed...

He already thought about what Scott would do next!
"Damn it, Wu Di is just a rookie, why is his appeal so strong!"

"Fuck, it's Riley's old dog!"

Van Gundy cursed from the air. Although he and Riley have a master-student relationship, in the 05-06 season, that is, the season when the Heat won the championship, Riley fired him and kicked him out. Suffering, so the relationship between the two is not good.

"Ah! Ahh!"

In the office of the president of the Heat two thousand kilometers away, Riley, who was gathering to watch the Magic Knights game, suddenly sneezed twice!

"Who is scolding me!? I've been sneezing for the past few days, can't it be that white-eyed wolf?"

Riley frowned, and put the new tactics drawn up on the table with LeBron James as the core into the drawer.

……

Jordan dribbled the ball twice, then took a deep breath to calm down, and then glanced at the encouraging eyes given by Wu Di, and then made the second free throw tremblingly.

hit!

108-102!

Only 6 points away!

Beep!

Because the Cavaliers only accumulated 3 free throws in the fourth quarter, it took two fouls this time to send Howard to the free throw line.

Wu Di found the cameraman again, and then made a superman pose to the camera with Howard's eyes wanting to rush up to bite someone, and then said the word "Super Girl"!
Hearing the burst of laughter at the scene, Howard couldn't bear it anymore. He threw the ball and was about to rush over to confront Wu Di, but was stopped by Carter and other teammates:
"Calm down, Dwight! Calm down! Don't even think about conflicting with Wu Di, you just look fierce, he is really ruthless! Besides, this is the Cavaliers' home court, do you want to experience the feeling of being beaten with a bruised nose and a swollen face and having to pay a fine? "

"Damn it, you guys are as annoying as Wu Di!"

Howard shook his big elbow vigorously when he heard the words, and lost his little girl temper to the teammates who surrounded him.

Everyone was distracted by him, but they dared not speak out. They could only agree in their hearts that Wu Di's "Super Girl" description was true!

As the core of the team, Howard's mentality is affected at critical moments, and he has to rely on them to coax him. This game is really tiring...

Wu Di, who saw all this in his eyes, joked to the referee with a smile:

"Referee, you should have called Howard's crime against his teammates just now!"

"Hahaha!"

Howard heard the words, but seemed to have heard something particularly funny, bent over and laughed together.

The referee shook his head. Howard is just a brat with a height of more than 2 meters and a weight of more than 200 kilograms.

However, Howard quickly realized from the sullen expressions of his teammates that his behavior just now was out of line. He touched his nose to cover up his embarrassment, took the ball handed by the referee and began to aim at the frame...

Boom!
Iron again!
"Oh! It's a beautiful free throw, but it's a pity I missed it! Come on, let's cheer for Super Girl!"

The DJ at the scene shouted Maidao without thinking about it, and the voice of "Super Girl" resounded through the audience in an instant!

Howard raised the basketball with a livid face, but after taking a glance, he put the ball down and dribbled it. Obviously, he was seriously affected by the cheers of the fans.

However, Cavaliers fans will not be used to him like Magic players!
Seeing this, they shouted even louder, and started stepping on the floor at the same time!

Howard is very timid, if not for his timidity, he would not dare to fight with Wu Di.

He felt the constant tremors coming from his feet, he suddenly had an ominous feeling that the arena was about to collapse or an earthquake was about to happen, he resisted the chill and threw the ball out...

Swish!
Basketball this time only hit the Nets!

Everyone had no time to grab the rebound, and the ball went out of bounds by itself...

Van Gundy slapped his face with his palm, damn it, his worries came true, and Howard's mentality was seriously affected!
"People are floating in the rivers and lakes, how can they not be knifed. When Coach Van Gundy cut Joe, he should have thought that others would also cut him. Hehe, now I just want to stop the tactics of killing Joe. The Cavaliers may not stop killing him. ..."

In the live broadcast room of the sports channel, Wang Meng commented with a smile.

"Today's game was exciting enough. First, Wu Di dunked the monster Howard and contributed a top ten slam dunk of the year. Then there was a double slash tactic that is rare in the league. You slashed my Jordan, and I slammed you. The Warcraft! Hehe, it’s been a long time to see you!”

Ma Jian said with a smile.

"Howard's mentality is still too easy to be influenced by others. In fact, if he can calm down, his free throw rate is still much higher than that of Jordan! Coach Van Gundy's abacus was clattering, but in the end it was the Cavaliers. Cheap!"

"That's right, Howard and Wu Di are standing together. Howard, an old man in the league, is acting more like a rookie! He's too immature, isn't he just a super girl? It's okay to be called a few words, can you lose a piece of meat? No?"

"Mr. Ma, you don't feel back pain when you stand and talk. Isn't that just missing a piece of meat?"

"You! Haha, come on, this is a national broadcast..."

The time passed by every minute and every second, and the point difference gradually narrowed. The fourth quarter, which was originally less than 6 minutes away, was dragged by the two teams for half an hour. No wonder the fans didn't like to watch the slashing tactics.

During the period, Jordan was fouled 11 times and made 22 of 10 free throws. Howard was fouled 10 times and made 20 of 7 free throws. The score came to 103-100, with only 1 minute and 03 seconds left, but it was the Magic's possession of the ball!

As Van Gundy used the last timeout to adjust the lineup, both teams knew that the decisive moment was coming!

The Magic's strategy of hacking Joe did not take advantage, and it is even more likely to overturn if it is dragged behind!

On the Cavaliers side, the fans' voices were hoarse, and some people in the auditorium were even carried out due to lack of oxygen...

And more importantly, in this way, both teams are almost out of players, so it's better to have a vigorous game!
beep!
The timeout ended and the two teams returned to the court again.

Nelson dribbled the ball across half court, Davis rushed forward to press, but the whistle didn't sound!
Davis was the king of steals at the critical moment. Nelson didn't dare to make mistakes, and passed the ball to Lewis at the top of the arc like a grenade.

Facing Wu Di's defense, Lewis put the ball on his waist and kept doing three-threat tentative moves with the ball.

He wants to shoot a three-pointer, hit the nail on the head, and kill the game!
In the first quarter, some words of Wu Di really affected his mentality, but he later figured it out, he is Britney, but he is also a ruthless killer at the same time!
No matter who his boss is, he just takes money to do things.

Two years ago, he killed Emperor Zhan here, and today, he will assassinate Emperor Zhan again!
But Wu Di saw through his thoughts. The title of team leader still has a halo. When he carried the team on his shoulders, this responsibility also enhanced his perception of danger.

Lewis is the most dangerous person on the Magic team to the Cavaliers!

If they guard against Lewis, they will hope to equalize, or even come back!
His current stats have reached 48 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, earning $120 million!

If he can come back, he will get at least 240 million dollars!

Wu Di concentrated on observing the details of his movements, and the defensive distance was compressed to the point that it could no longer be compressed!
Suddenly, Lewis made a big thrust forward, the movement was so lifelike, it took Wu Di back half a step in an instant!
But after all, Lewis is a top killer who has eaten Zhanyu. The average player will definitely pull it out when he sees this distance, but Lewis still wants to fight for more space.

He moved the ball back, and at the moment Wu Di retreated, he dribbled it to the right side, so that his shooting space was more than doubled in an instant!
However, there was a bark!
His ball was sliced!

There was a burst of exclamation from the fans at the scene!
"impossible!"

Lewis roared angrily. After the whole game, he had already tested Wu Di's limit stealing distance. In the situation just now, it was impossible for Wu Di to cut off his ball!
He didn't know that at the critical moment just now, Wu Di fulfilled the stealing talent he added to himself before the game!
Although it is only 3 points, the impact effect is only 3.75%, but just like the 1 kilometers per hour of an F200 racing car, the instantaneous increase of 3.75% is the distance between life and death for top NBA players!
Wu Di dribbled the ball and ran all the way. He didn't know how he cashed in so much all at once. Before, he cashed in little by little, but this time he seemed to have accumulated too much insight, and suddenly exploded!
More than 2 fans stared nervously at the running figure on the field, praying that this wave of fast breaks would hit!
However, Bass is still haunted. Like Green, his physical fitness is also top-notch, and he quickly caught up with Wu Di who was dribbling.

Wu Di rushed to the free throw line, carried him one step at a time, jumped up...

Oops!

Fly mode is not activated!
But Buzz is like a tiger...

At the last moment, he turned his head and passed the ball to Davis, who was also flying over. The Cavaliers players really wanted to win the game, and everyone tried their best!

Davis skillfully used a jump to get rid of the chasing Nelson, picked the basket, and scored!

103-102!

Only 1 points away!

The [-] fans at Quicken Loans Arena were ignited again!
37 seconds to go, but their hopes are growing!
"The audience is pressing!"

Wu Di roared on the field, and the Cavaliers players came to their senses from the light of hope, and tried their best to block the way for the Magic players to catch the ball.

"Redick screens for Dwight!"

Van Gundy yelled with both hands in the shape of a trumpet from the sidelines.

When Redick heard the words, he immediately rushed forward to cover for Howard. Parker, who was chasing and defending, hesitated for a moment, and Nelson, who was serving from the baseline, seized the opportunity and passed the ball to Redick in an instant!
Van Gundy's yell just now was actually a smoke bomb!

Think about it too, Howard catches the ball in the backcourt?

How is that different from giving the ball to the Cavaliers?
But it was too urgent just now, Parker was poked in the heart, thinking that there would be a pie in the sky, so he gave Redick a chance...

"Old Fan is a real dog!"

Scott spat, seeing Redick pass by Hickson who was defending, and wanted to cooperate with Howard to score a fast break, but the referee beeped!
Jordan made a foul on Howard!
"Haha, little Joe, well done!"

Wu Di smiled and gave Jordan a high-five, because he was the one who took the free throw just now, and Jordan only had four fouls, so he didn't need to end the foul this time.

The tactic of cutting Huo triggered by the tactic of cutting Joe changed the situation on the field again, and Lao Fan finally shot himself in the foot!
Howard was so angry that he grabbed Jordan's clothes and refused to let him go.

"Referee, is he considered a technical offender?"

Little Jordan asked, pointing to Howard's hand.

"Kou Hang!"

Seeing this, Howard quickly put his hands down. If he was called a technical offender, then his nickname of Super Girl would be completely lost!

The referee didn't whistle, and the game is less than 30 seconds away. In this case, a technical foul is called, unless...

On the first free throw, Howard made another steady... miss!
"D, I believe you will win this time!"

Rashard Lewis stepped forward and gave Howard a high-five. Although so many unpleasant things happened in front of him, he still couldn't help encouraging his little brother.

"Come on, Warcraft!"

Brandon Bass bumped his chest.

"Daily double pair has been achieved, salute!"

Jameer Nelson put the fingers of his right hand together and gestured to him in front of his forehead.

"Superman, relax, you are the best!"

Redick raised his chin coolly.

Howard was also deeply touched when he saw his teammates repaying their grievances with kindness. He is actually not bad in nature, but he has been unable to get rid of his childish temper.

As the leader of the team, he actually already knew that this was one of the last few complete games of their "one-star and four-shot" lineup.

He couldn't tell anyone, he could only lose his temper, because he couldn't change the ending.

Losing the finals is the worst feeling for a team.

People always say "break and then build", but in history, what greeted the losers more often was the fate of dissolution.

He solemnly dribbled the ball three times, and then threw the ball seriously...

The basketball crossed a light parabola in the air, and slid into the basket with the final glory of "one star and four shots"!
in!

104-102!

beep!
The Cavaliers used up the last timeout!
23.04 seconds!
Only 2 points away!
The air seemed to be stagnant, and more than 2 fans stood up one after another. They held their breath and waited for the final attack. They clenched their fists and prayed for the Cavaliers to complete the final lore!

"It's only two points away. The Cavaliers must play three points in this wave. Otherwise, their bench depth will definitely not be as deep as the Magic's in overtime!"

In the live broadcast room of the sports channel, Wang Meng analyzed in a hurry.

"I just don't know who Scott will give the last chance to attack? Wu Di has a very flat experience before, but he has never made a lore shot. This kind of key shot requires a very high psychological quality of a player. , Young players are inexperienced, so they may not be able to handle it well..."

Based on his many years of playing experience, Ma Jian raised questions.

"I think it must be Wu Di. After all, if you don't shoot, you will never accumulate experience! Besides, on the Cavaliers side, there are too few players who can shoot this kind of ball. Davis' running is limited, and Gibson is easily interfered. , Jamison was injured, Hickson and Jr. Jordan couldn't shoot three-pointers, so they had to let Wu Di shoot. Alas, Van Gundy probably has a clear mind. Now Wu Di will be under a lot of pressure, and he will probably be double-teamed... "

"I was a little nervous when I said it. Anyway, it depends on the performance of both sides. Whoever can win tonight's game will end the two-game losing streak..."

The players on the scene were all too nervous, even the players on the bench were not spared.

Hollins, the water fountain manager, took Gatorade with trembling elbows. Alonzo, who only played for a few minutes in the third quarter, seemed to be sweating endlessly. Even Jamison, who was wearing a suit, couldn't help but loosen his tie. .

Only Williams, the son of a bitch, was not nervous at all, just thinking about something blankly.

"Give the ball to Wu Di!"

Scott babbled and talked about a bunch of tactics in a hurry, and Wu Di only heard this sentence.

The 60-second timeout was fleeting and he was back on the court again.

He is very excited, but also very nervous, he feels that everything around him is blurred, only teammates, basketball, hoop, and enemies!
The moment the referee handed the ball to Davis, he started, and his super-giant explosive power was instantly full!

Bass was thrown away by him, but Lewis seamlessly followed him. He slid from the wing to the bottom corner, bypassed Jordan in the low elbow area, made a second effort, and finally received the ball.

Lewis and Bass chased after him in an instant, and the two of them formed an airtight human wall to cover them, but Wu Di had already jumped up like lightning, aiming at the wrist and shooting!
boom!
Iron!

The basketball hit the front of the rim!
"Oooops!"

There was an instant loud sigh...

"Hey! Let me just say, the shot was too hasty, why didn't you aim more! Just now, Hixon had such a good opportunity. In fact, it is not impossible to score two points. Quickly score a two-pointer, and then quickly cut Huo , I want to hit a three-pointer, but this is gone, there is not enough time to play the second round, and the slashing tactics are too risky now..."

Seeing that Wu Di missed the shot, Ma Jian's mouth immediately turned into a machine gun and began to criticize Wu Di's shot choice just now.

However, Wang Meng, who has been chasing Wu Di for the game, is still staring at the computer screen. He believes that Wu Di will create a miracle:
"...Howard grabbed Jordan on his back and grabbed the rebound, and Warcraft redeemed himself at the last moment! Wow! Wu Di broke! This is a scramble! He snatched the ball back from Warcraft! There are 16 seconds left in the game , Come back again!"

Wu Di dribbled the ball one step away from the three-point line. He felt that all the sounds around him disappeared, only the sound of his heavy breathing, and the sound of the basketball hitting the floor.

He was still affected by Bass' small movements just now. Bass' fingers were directly inserted into his eyes, and he didn't activate the flying mode when he was distracted.

special!
There are always bad people trying to harm me!
Fortunately, he has quick eyesight and quick hands. After the shot, he felt something wrong and rushed towards the penalty area. Although he didn't grab a rebound, he cut the ball off the moment Howard fell!

Now that he has extended the distance so far, Lewis dare not come up to double-team again.

Come up again, Wu Di will definitely hit two points and enter overtime, and let Bass defend alone, but it may affect his mentality because he missed the last ball and continue to play iron.

"You miss! You miss!"

Bass was spamming trash, with his elbows up, ready to block.

Wu Di stared at this fellow firmly.

He must hit this ball today!
He silently counted the seconds in his mind, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4...

Time is like an arrow off the string, fleeting!
Wu Di took a horizontal step to the left, and kicked up again facing Bass' block!
This time, Bass repeated his old trick and pointed his fingers at Wu Di's eyes, but Wu Di had expected it, and leaned back sharply, pushing the basketball towards the basket!

Beep————

The moment the basketball was released, the final whistle sounded!

This time, the flying state was still not activated, but the basketball fell through a high parabola straight to the center of the Nets!
【Ding! ! !It was detected that the host scored +3 in the game against the Magic, and the wealth value was credited to the account, +60000 US dollars! 】

104-105!

He succeeded!

He beat the Magic!
He managed to create his own moment!
He jumped onto the scoring platform with a stride, and opened his arms towards the boiling auditorium:
"We won! We did it!"
