Chapter 520 The Leader's Responsibility

"It's just four three-pointers. Do a good job of defense and grasp every offensive opportunity. The Atlanta people are not invincible..."

Star Van Gundy kept feeding the Magic players chicken soup, trying to keep them hopeful for the final game.

"The difference is only four three-pointers. The opponent has many three-pointers. If we are not careful, our lead will be eroded. Don't let your guard down, win this away game, and then fly back to Atlanta..."

The Hawks' bench, Woodson, is doing the same thing.

At the beginning of the last quarter of the game, the substitutes of the two teams got only a little playing time.

For the Magic, JJ Redick finally got another minute of playing time after the last 1 minutes of playing time in the first half.

It was using this 1 minute that JJ* Redick ran without the ball in a short period of time, hit an open three-pointer, and after a fake shot, broke through to 18 feet and hit another ball in the middle distance.

Redick, who scored 5 points in a row in a short period of time, once brought the prelude to the Magic's counterattack, but the Hawks' substitute did not disappoint either. "President" Ronald Murray also scored a corner rush He stopped the jump shot and broke through with the ball. After compressing the Magic's defensive formation, he passed the ball to the claw machine.

Dragic faced Anthony Johnson's defense without any hesitation. With his height advantage, he directly made a three-pointer and hit it!

The substitutes of the two teams performed very well, but they can only go so far. They have tried their best, but the most brilliant chapter of this stage does not belong to them.

Van Gundy and Woodson successively replaced the main players of the two teams, and the real decisive battle began!

On the offensive end of the Eagles, Jon Jonsen sent the ball to the high post Ruan Erniu.

Huo Hua opened his arms and fixed his eyes on Ruan Erniu. Winning first is not considered a win, and the winner is the one who can win last.

Ruan Erniu's 20-foot straight-arm shot...

"boom!"

Hard work!
Sparks turned around and took the backcourt rebound and passed it to Nelson.

Torimori took the ball to the frontcourt, but he still didn't get hotheaded, just messed around, and immediately sent the ball to the Turk Hedo Turkoglu.

This season's Turkoglu is already unique in the Magic's system.Like his name Xidu, he still has the demeanor of a generation of master "Western Poison".

What is Ouyang Feng's unique skill?
Toad work!
And what are the characteristics of Hama Gong?
Baike's explanation is this: This skill is purely static braking, the whole body accumulates strength and does not vomit, as long as the enemy attacks, it will immediately counterattack with incomparable strength.

Static braking can be described as a vivid description of Turkoglu's technical characteristics.

He can't run fast and jump high, but with his super rhythm and ability to pass the ball, Turkoglu has become a well-deserved offensive hub for the Magic.

"Whoosh!"

The Turkic under the Xingyue banner passed a beautiful back pass. When receiving the pass from Torimori, he sent the ball directly behind his back without any stagnation.

There is no eye change in the whole process, which is already the highest state of NOLOOKPASS.

Well, it's also possible that Turkoglu made eye contact, but his eyes were too small for the cameras to catch.

The vacancy in the bottom corner came out, and Lewis had been in ambush for a long time.

"brush!"

There was a problem with Lunar Eclipse's defensive position. By the time he was in place, Lewis had already made a quick shot and made a hit!

It was Turkoglu again. His clever defensive position caught Er Niu's return pass to the outside line, and with just a light poke, the ball flew towards the frontcourt.

Bogans received the basketball, and under the defense of Jon Jonson, he didn't have a good chance.

I can only attack from the ground, and then he passed...

Turkoglu!

It is him again!
Shot!

in!
With a sudden three-pointer, the Turk ran to the frontcourt unhurriedly. Just when everyone thought he would reorganize the attack again, Turkoglu directly shot a three-pointer.

After two or three rounds, the Magic really had to catch up!

The Eagles encountered the biggest crisis of the game. In their minds, the memories of being killed by the Mavericks and Spurs turned countless times.

Is it really impossible to deal with opponents back to back?

"What are you afraid of? So what if you lose this game? I was the one who couldn't win the MVP of the regular season, and the biggest responsibility for the loss was also on my head. It was my persistent personal duel with Howard that led to the loss. None of you bear the primary responsibility."

During the timeout, Ruan Erniu shouted angrily from the players' bench.

Said it was roaring, but it was actually decompressing the teammates.

At this time, I just held my breath and didn't let go.

Like last season, if you fight to the end in one breath, you will be the championship. If you can't hold that breath, everything will stop.

Woodson said to Ruan Erniu: "So, are you ready?"

Ruan Erniu nodded heavily.

Woodson gave the final instructions: "Give the ball to Kraft!"

On the offensive end of the Eagles, Ruan Erniu held the ball in a low position, and Sparks held on behind him.

Ruan Erniu's hands were not soft at the critical moment, he lifted his buttocks and chiseled in.

One step, two steps...

Cut inside?

The sparks immediately rushed to the inside, but Er Niu shot a feint and rushed in along the periphery.

The next moment, the two hunks flew up at the same time!

The aggressive Erniu is faster, he flies faster and higher...

"boom!"

With a one-armed buckle, the brute overwhelmed the monster and completed a critical strike!
Ruan Erniu beat his chest with one arm. This dunk came too timely, and the Hawks stabilized their position.

Toimori held the ball across the half, and still delivered the ball safely to Turkoglu. The Turk suddenly broke through with the ball, passed Salmons with an excellent rhythm, and went straight to the basket guarded by Erniu.

Ruan Erniu was entangled in the sparks, he had no ability to stop the ball.

The Turk made a slow three-step layup, which is an inevitable goal...

"call!"

A blue shadow suddenly came out, jersey number - No. 5.

"Snapped!"

The basketball was firmly blocked on the backboard, and the lunar eclipse made a contribution at the critical moment!

Ruan Erniu threw off the sparks, found the right spot, grabbed the backcourt rebound and went straight to the frontcourt immediately.

"Bull Dash" has also evolved to version 2.0!
It's an exaggeration to say that it hurts when it touches it, and it dies when it touches it, but this rampant bull did kill a straight line that is difficult to defend.

At the free throw line, Ruan Erniu threw the ball to the backboard.

"boom!"

The basketball collided with the backboard and bounced back. Er Niu also flew into the air, raised his hands high, and caught the basketball.

"Boom!"

A super windmill, the basketball was smashed into the basket heavily.

In the second half of the fourth quarter, he saw the magic that counterattacked the dawn, but was killed by a bull that went into a runaway state.

120:112, the Magic at home finally lost by 8 points.

The Magic scored in double figures with 5 players, made 27 three-pointers and hit 16 goals, but still lost to the Atlanta Hawks.

The Hawks also scored in double figures with 5 players, took 29 three-pointers and hit 17 goals, but they beat the Magic by 10 rebounds.

Ruan Erniu's final statistics for this game were 45 points, 32 rebounds and 5 assists.

In the last quarter, Er Niu didn't get a single assist, but with 12 points and 10 rebounds in a single quarter, he still firmly grasped the victory of the game.

The final data of Sparks is 15 points, 16 rebounds, and 7 assists. This is still the data of an excellent center, but he met the less terrifying Ruan Erniu.

The Hawks ended the second back-to-back winless spell and returned to Atlanta with a record of 20 wins and 3 losses. They are still the top of the league.
