When the ball went into the basket, the first thing Azubuike thought about was not that he had scored in the NBA, but that he had not wasted Lin Sen's pass again.

"Good job!" Lin Sen smiled at Azubuike who looked at him and extended his thumb.

Azubuike nodded with firm eyes, and all the blank spaces in his mind disappeared. At this moment, his whole body seemed to be filled with the desire to play well.

Lin Sen's subconscious concern gave Azubuike the best motivation, so much so that Azubuike became determined to follow Lin Sen and even chose to refuse high salaries from other teams for this reason. On the day he retired in the future

Azubuike Dulinsen's little greeting was on his lips.

Azubuike was also rated by sports reporters as one of the three best assistants in Lin Sen's career. Of course, this is not mentioned for the time being.

Azubuike's three-pointer helped the Magic expand their lead to 4 points again, and Linsen also had 6 assists in a single quarter.

"The shot was pretty good, and he was completely different from the one just now. If I were the general manager, I would see Wood's details in this area. He and Brandon are both people with leadership qualities among this rookie class. It's a pity that Minnesota gave up on Wood.

, although they seem to have gained a lot of leverage." Kenny Smith said with a smile.

During the transition between offense and defense, Azubuike's defensive attitude was extremely positive, which made Josh Howard uncomfortable.

Stan Van Gundy on the sidelines did not expect Azubuike to change so quickly. He had to change his mind and called Devin Brown to his side: "Devin, go up and replace Hido later, let Kelana

Go to small forward."

Devin Brown nodded. He did not expect that Azubuike would suddenly emerge with such great energy.

"Oh. It's this rookie again. Even if Josh has the height advantage, he can't easily defeat this rookie. He's such a tenacious guy. I think I have to take back what I just said." Charles Barkley looked at Azubu on the court.

K said.

Not only did Azubuike perform well on the defensive end, he also hit a mid-range pull-up jumper from Weber's pass on the offensive end.

The new player Chris Webber showed everyone that he is not completely old yet, and the fuel in his tank can still help him gallop on the court.

Weber succeeded in two consecutive attacks against Nowitzki's defense. Howard also received Weber's inside pass and easily dunked in the paint. Turkoglu also received Linson's assist and hit a three-pointer.

In just three minutes, the Magic launched an 11:2 attack wave, extending their lead to 13 points in one fell swoop.

This situation is something that no one expected. You must know that the Dallas Mavericks are ranked first in the league. They have only lost two games throughout the season and have recently won nine consecutive games.

But the reality is this. The Mavericks, who were in amazing form, were led by the Magic, a team that was not optimistic about, by 13 points before the first quarter was over.

Junior general Avery Johnson and Mavericks owner Mark Cuban kept shouting loudly off the court, trying to wake up the team's morale.

Devin Harris brought the ball across half court, with less than two minutes left before the end of the first quarter.

When he came to the frontcourt, he saw Josh Howard leaning on Azubuike to ask for the ball. Harris thought about it and passed the ball.

He has been unable to get rid of Azubuike, which makes Josh Howard very unhappy.

Josh Howard, who averaged 18 points per game for the Mavericks, has no doubt about his offensive ability. Holding his breath, he almost scored a goal, but at the end of his shot, he relied on Azubuike who was being caught up with a fierce

The foul was stopped immediately.

Bang!

Josh Howard got up from the floor and rushed towards Azubuike. Chris Webber blocked Azubuike directly.

"Oh, there was chaos on the sidelines. Josh looked very angry as if he wanted to eat the rookie, but Chris didn't give him a chance. This is the experience of a veteran. Of course, if it were me, I guess no one would dare to

My teammate takes action, otherwise I will definitely let him have a taste of Sir Charles' fist." Barkley said with a look on his face.

In the end, the referee intervened to prevent the situation from deteriorating, and Azubuike was called for a common thug foul, which Mark Cuban on the sidelines couldn't accept at all.

"This is a fucking flagrant foul? Can't you see? It's a flagrant foul, not a fucking hitting foul." Mark Cuban yelled at the referee on the court.

But he quickly paid the price for his rant, as the Mavericks charged their owner with a technical foul.

The fans at the Water House Center sent support to Azubuike who performed well, which made Azubuike's morale even higher.

Lin Sen, who stood on the free throw line, steadily made the technical foul free throw and was replaced by Arroyo.

He played 8 points and 7 assists in less than 11 minutes in the first quarter, helping the team lead the Mavericks, the favorite team for the championship this season, by 14 points. Lin Sen completely made the fans forget their unhappiness.

At the same time, Stan Van Gundy replaced Dwight Howard with Darko Milicic, and Devin Brown replaced Turkoglu.

Avery Johnson also began to make substitutions one after another. When the first quarter ended, the Magic, playing at home, still led by 11 points.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Magic were still led by Chris Webber with the second team. Chris Webber's state really reassured Magic fans.

Although it cannot be compared with the peak of the King's period, it is already a huge wealth for magic.

"With Chris's condition, there are teams willing to give him even 7 million, but it's a pity that he was impressed by the people in Orlando. Look at his condition, he is really good, but I wonder if Scottie will play tonight."

"Charles, Scottie shouldn't be playing tonight. Do you expect him to be able to play immediately in the next two days? Besides, Orlando needs more of his experience rather than his playing. After all, Scottie is 43 years old.

Instead of 34." Kenny Smith said with a smile.

"Wood, really think about it. I know there are a lot of rules like yours. I've seen many capable people in Chinatown, New York. It's incredible that they can carve on sugar. I asked them to teach me at that time

But they don't want to unless I become a disciple."

Lin Sen turned his head helplessly: "Dwight, can we talk about it after the game? Haven't you noticed that the coach has been staring at you?"

"Okay, I understand. If you need me to become a disciple, I will definitely be willing, but you can't tell others, let's do it in private..."

"Dwight, if you want to stay on the court, I will satisfy you." Stan Van Gundy's voice penetrated Howard's ears.

Dwight Howard immediately pretended to be a good boy: "Dear Stan, how could it be possible, how could it be possible. I am definitely willing to play. Don't you want me to go on the field and kick those guys' butts?"

Stan Van Gundy glared at Howard speechlessly and then looked at Linsen: "Wood, you two are ready to play."

Lin Sen nodded, and Stan Van Gundy pulled Lin Sen to his side and explained a few words.

"Wood and Dwight are getting ready to play, and Avery is also preparing to replace Dirk and the others. Dallas is still eight points behind. This difference is not big. The key is whether the disadvantage shown in the first quarter can be overcome.

Let's improve." Kenny Smith said while looking at the sidelines.

Dwight Howard, Lin Sen, Turkoglu and Kenyon Dulin all sat in front of the technical table and waited for the opportunity to play on the dead ball. On the other side of the technical table, the Mavericks' Nowitzki, Josh Howard, Jay

Terry is also waiting for the dead ball to come on.

"Wood, what do you think of that guy?" Howard winked at Lin Sen.

"Which one?" Lin Sen knew that if he ignored him, Howard would probably continue talking. Lin Sen finally understood how careless Howard was.

"Over there in the tunnel. The cheerleaders are first."

"Cheerleaders?" Lin Sen was stunned. The NBA has a clear rule that players are not allowed to have relationships with cheerleaders.

"Shh!"

"How do you feel? Isn't it sexy?"

"Not bad!" Lin Sen didn't want to dampen Howard's interest. Lin Sen didn't discriminate against black people, but he still didn't have much affection for black women. Of course, top women like Beyoncé transcended races.

However, the woman Howard was referring to was obviously not a woman like Beyoncé in Lin Sen's eyes, but even if she didn't think she was beautiful, Lin Sen wouldn't say bad.

"Her name is Royce. She just joined the cheerleading team and is still a junior in college, so you know."

"Dwight and Wood seemed to be communicating about something, and they looked very enthusiastic." Kenny Smith glanced at Lin Sen and said.

"Who knows, but this is a good sign for Orlando. Those who expect internal strife in Orlando will undoubtedly be disappointed." Barkley said with a smile.

At this time, Devin Brown accidentally hit his foot while dribbling the ball and it bounced out of bounds.

"Devin's mistake gave players from both sides a chance to play. Dallas is still seven points behind, which is not a big difference." Kenny Smith said while looking at the statistics.

Devin Harris took Dampier's serve and took the ball to the top of the arc. When he saw Nowitzki, who was leaning on Turkoglu inside, wanted the ball, he immediately hoisted the ball in.

"Hido is guarding Dirk, which is a bit difficult for him." Kenny Smith said looking at Turkoglu who was guarding Nowitzki.

Although Turkoglu can play power forward, it is obviously difficult for him to defend Nowitzki.

Hitting Turkoglu with his back, Turkoglu suddenly shook and subconsciously jumped up. However, Nowitzki made a fake move and turned directly inside to throw Turkoglu behind him.

Looking at the basket, Nowitzki slapped the ball and jumped up.

Dwight Howard on the other side of the basket made a quick cover, and just a second before Nowitzki was about to put the ball into the basket, he pressed his palm on the surface of the basketball.

"Roar!"

Dwight Howard let out a low roar and concentrated all his strength on his right hand.

Even though Nowitzki tried his best, Howard slapped the ball away.

Lin Sen grabbed the falling ball with a single stride, while Kenyon Dulin on the outside was already sprinting forward.

Step forward with your right leg and flick the ball with your right hand.

The ball flew towards the front court like a cannonball. Kenyon Dulin took the lead and dunked the ball into the basket easily.

"Wood, how was my shot?"

Howard said to Lin Sen, but his eyes were aimed at the cheerleaders on the other side.

Lin Sen rolled his eyes at Howard, this guy is so perverted. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
