Chapter 274 Orlando's worthy leader(1/3)
ps: The new year is coming, happy New Year’s Day! I also hope that everyone can vote for legend in the new year!
——
"Oh oh oh, it seems that the conflict between Wood and Stan is not big at least now. Stan chose to replace Devin and replace him with Wood at this time. If we read it correctly just now, it should be Wood who mainly requested to play.
Stan did not agree, but in the end Stan compromised. Will this be the beginning of a feud between their generals? If so, this is not good news for Orlando." Kenny Smith watched as he walked to the sidelines.
Lin Sen said.
"It's really unexpected. The second quarter has just started forty seconds. Perhaps as we both said, even old guys like Scotty and Dennis have stepped forward. How could Wood not stand up as the leader of the team?"
Maybe his initiative to play this time will bring something different to Orlando." Charles Barkley said with a little more expectation. He is a die-hard Lin Mi. If Lin Sen's condition is bad, he will feel the loss on his face.
Light.
Devin Brown didn't expect that he would be replaced less than a minute after playing. However, although he is not thirty years old, he has led several teams in the league and naturally knows that his status cannot be compared with the core of the team.
Compare.
Devin Brown high-fived Lin Sen and went to the bench. The Nets fans at the scene were undoubtedly a little disappointed. They were looking forward to a dispute between Stan Van Gundy and that damn rookie on the sidelines, but this result disappointed them.
Pippen, who made the first free throw, took the ball thrown by the referee. Lin Sen, who was standing outside the three-point line, looked at Pippen on the free throw line with admiration in his heart. Standing next to Lin Sen was the Nets substitute guard.
Eddie House.
Pippen patted the ball and adjusted it. The forced dunk just now was undoubtedly beyond his current personal ability. As Barkley and others said, he hoped to awaken the morale of the young Orlando Magic players through his own self-challenge.
Looking at the basket, Pippen raised the ball with both hands. Milicic and Rodman under the basket were jostling for position with the Nets players, ready to rush for rebounds at any time.
Lin Sen, who was hunched over, stared at Pippen's hand as Pippen's fingers threw the ball.
"Rebound!" Pippen yelled. The moment the ball was released, he felt that it might not go in. Rodman and Mickey Moore were competing for position, even though Mickey Moore was almost twenty years younger.
He couldn't stand up to Rodman, while Milicic was on the other side against Nakba and Clifford Robinson.
clang!
Just as Pippen himself felt, the ball hit the inside edge of the basket and bounced high.
At this moment, Lin Sen on the outside let go of Eddie House's block and rushed in. Eddie House was so fast that he had no time to react.
Clifford Robinson on the inside blocked Milicic with the help of Nakba and jumped up while watching the ball fall from the air.
Although the 40-year-old Clifford Robinson has maintained good physical fitness, after all, he is not as capable of running and jumping as he was when he was young, even though he has a height advantage.
"Wood, Wood is like a bolt of lightning!" Barkley shouted.
Lin Sen, who rushed in from beyond the three-point line, jumped half a step in front of Pippen's left side. All the fans were shocked because Lin Sen's jump was so high.
When his fingers were only a few feet away from the ball falling in the air, a shadow pressed over from behind him, and then a pair of yellow hands grabbed the ball falling in the air before his own.
Bang!
Lin Sen's body hit Clifford's back hard, and Clifford staggered as he was unable to prevent himself.
The whole person was knocked forward and Lin Sen smashed the ball towards the basket with both hands.
Bang!
Lin Sen grabbed the basket with both hands and hung his legs on Clifford's body.
The entire New Jersey Izod Center fell into silence temporarily because the impact of the ball was too great.
Clifford stood up straight before Lin Sen released his hands.
Lin Sen was also full of respect for evergreens like Clifford Robinson without any provocation. Lin Sen just glanced at the Nets bench and ran directly to the backcourt.
"It's crazy. It almost took off from the free throw line. God, even though I have seen Wood's crazy dunk performances many times, I was still shocked by this dunk. How could he jump so high? What is his structure? According to scientists
The theory is that yellow people do not have this ability. There is no doubt that he is an existence that defies nature. Maybe when our scientists are doing meaningless research, can they think about why Wood's physical fitness exceeds that of yellow people?
Theoretical level." Kenny Smith said loudly, with an incredible expression on his face.
"Maybe this is a new beginning. If New Jersey wants to win, it still has to ask this rookie. It's crazy." Barkley said while watching the replay on the big screen.
Stan Van Gundy off the court, like normal fans, was shocked by Lin Sen's shocking putback dunk, but he suddenly felt happy, even though this was Lin Sen's first ball on the court and it was only a putback dunk.
But Stan Van Gundy clearly felt the difference in Lin Sen.
At 20:33, the Orlando Magic trailed the New Jersey Nets at home by 13 points.
Eddie House took Clifford Robinson's serve and quickly carried the ball across half court. However, as soon as the ball passed half court, he handed the ball to Vince Carter, who was in hot form.
After receiving the ball, Carter faced Grant Hill. With his back leaning on Grant Hill, Carter made a feint, pulled the ball, turned around, and shot directly.
The ball quickly flew through the air towards the basket.
Whoosh!
The sound of the ball passing through the net gave the fans who had just been stunned by Lin Sen's putback dunk a chance to find hope again.
"Vince's state in this game is really good. Is this to respond to Shaq's call and use his performance to tell Pat Riley, come on, come and offer me a contract. I have the ability to help Miami become a great place again."
O'Brien Trophy team," Barkley quipped.
"Any player will work extra hard in a contract year, let alone a player like Vince. What's more, the first three games are really not in line with his worth. If he doesn't play in this game, his summer contract will be seriously affected.
.
But what I want to know even more is how this rookie will respond to Vince Wood who is in such excellent form." Kenny Smith looked at Lin Sen who was dribbling the ball forward and said with a smile.
The difference from the previous three games is that Carter did not guard Lin Sen. Even though Frank arranged for Jefferson to defend Lin Sen at the beginning of the last game, he still couldn't help but defend himself. But in this game, he has been completely ignoring Lin Sen.
There was almost no direct confrontation with Lin Sen.
The same thing happened this time. Nakba, who was beaten by Lin Sen, stood in front of Lin Sen again.
Lin Sen is not willing to play one-on-one at all, because playing alone will greatly waste his energy.
The Nets are in really good shape in this game. If he starts attacking with all his strength now, he will not be able to guarantee his physical fitness in the end, let alone lead the team to the end.
Grant Hill saw Lin Sen's gesture and immediately ran from the left high position to the top of the free throw line. Lin Sen started at the same time.
Facing Grant Hill's movement, Carter did not stay where he was but followed directly. When Linsen used Hill's cover to easily get rid of Nakba's defense, Carter shouted: "Switch defense!"
Nakba immediately stopped, while Carter puffed out his chest and leaned against Lin Sen, who was rushing to the inside.
"Switching defense, Vince is targeting Wood. Wood's speed is an advantage, but Mickey is already waiting for Wood inside. How should Wood choose?" Kenny Smith said as he looked at Lin Sen who broke through.
Lin Sen slapped the ball to the floor with his right hand. At this moment, his right hand met the ball that bounced off the floor. However, Lin Sen did not continue to slap the ball to the floor but pulled the ball behind him.
Pass the ball?
Carter immediately paused, then quickly stretched out his right hand in an attempt to interfere with Lin Sen's back pass.
However, the ball did not reach Lin Sen's right hand. At this time, Lin Sen's right foot stepped out and hit the left side of Mickey Moore's body.
At this time, Mickey Moore and Vince Carter realized that Lin Sen's behind-the-back pass was just a fake move, and the ball was still in Lin Sen's hands. But when they realized, Lin Sen's right hand picked the ball to
The basket.
"Wow, what a beautiful fake move. Just now I thought I was going to pass a back pass but it was actually a fake move. A very imaginative fake move. Look how realistic it is. A dunk and a beautiful pass fake move followed by a throw.
Hitting the ball, Wood seemed to have completely recovered himself and even performed better than before." Barkley praised loudly.
Even the Nets fans at the scene had no doubts about Lin Sen's goal-scoring action because it was indeed too realistic.
At this moment, in the central box of the Izod Center Arena, Huo Zhenting was enjoying the game while still giving orders. His assistant nodded and recorded something from time to time, and handed some folders on the table to Huo Zhenting from time to time.
At 22:35, the Magic were still two points behind.
But Lin Sen's outstanding performance made every Magic player on the bench feel his determination. Even when they were watching the game, they seemed much more energetic than in the first quarter.
Carter didn't have any impatience, even though Lin Sen's goal was his background. After sending the ball to Eddie House, Carter immediately ran forward.
However, before Eddie House had passed halftime, Lin Sen, who was standing in the frontcourt, ran over.
"What does Wood want to do? A full-court press? Now is not the time to do that. A full-court press requires too much physical energy." Kenny Smith looked at Eddie House in confusion.
Linsen.
How could Lin Sen not know that a full-court press consumes energy? His press this time was more to show an attitude, an attitude of active defense and an attitude of actively chasing points.
Eddie House looked at Lin Sen running towards him and sneered. Lin Sen's pressing was a joke in his eyes. Looking at Lin Sen rushing towards him at full speed, Eddie House was not nervous at all.
He took a look at the positions of his teammates in the frontcourt.
Lin Sen's speed was still a bit beyond his expectation. Even if Lin Sen slowed down when he was about to rush towards him, House felt that the rookie's speed was too fast.
Eddie House raised the ball, Lin Sen also came in front of him, and House immediately pulled the ball quickly to the other side.
The moment before Eddie House passed the ball, Lin Sen also moved. His left hand, which he had just rushed to the left, reached towards the left side at a terrifying speed.
Snapped!
"Steal, steal Wood's pressing steal, and Eddie paid the price for his carelessness. This was when Wood was about to receive Eddie in the frontcourt. Carter was obviously stunned for a moment. Then he immediately started but gave up soon.
He slowly walked towards the half court.
In the first two games, he couldn't catch up by one body, let alone now he was seven or eight meters behind Lin Sen. He could only watch Lin Sen bypass Eddie House's body and catch up before being stabbed.
The ball goes out.
"There was no one to defend, and Eddie also gave up the pursuit. There was no way Wood was too fast. It was undoubtedly the wisest decision to give up the pursuit. Otherwise, their running would just be a waste of energy." Barkley said with a smile.
