Chapter 418: Sixty Plus Club New Members(2/3)
When the ball flew into the air, Okafor also jumped in front of Lin Sen, but it was already too late.
The ball drew a perfect arc above the center of the water house and fell to the basket. In the expectation of the Orlando fans, the ball got closer and closer to the basket.
"Three points, Wood three points! The first goal of the second half. Wood hit the first goal of the second half, 46 points, 46 points. Charlotte, don't think you can contain Wood, that's unrealistic." Barkley patted.
The commentator said, once again revealing his appearance as the number one Lin Mi.
"That's it!" Stan Van Gundy rushed to the sidelines and adjusted his clothes. He was originally going to make adjustments, but he still made his own adjustments on the court and did a good job.
Vincent, who was standing on the bench of the Bobcats, was a little depressed that he was even scored like this.
"Chauncy, thank you for the pass!" Lin Sen and Billups high-fived each other.
"Wood finally broke his deadlock in the second half. As we said before, he did not have the ball and then relied on his teammates to constantly pick and roll. This is unrealistic for any team to follow Wood. Unless all five of them defend Wood.
, but according to the rules, they can't do this. At most, two people can defend Wood without the ball. I have already seen scenes of Wood scoring continuously." Kenny Smith said with a smile.
During the transition between offense and defense, the Bobcats handed over the offensive ball to Okafor inside. Facing Howard's defense, Okafor swung his back to the left, then to the right, and then directly hooked with his right hand.
Howard's defense was a beat slow and he could only watch the ball go into the basket.
"Emeka can't actually use his steps, but I think it's enough for Dwight to learn. As long as he masters this simple shaking step and combines it with a hook, it will be difficult for him to be defended."
"Kenny, I think you should save Dwight's hook." Barkley shrugged and looked at Linson on the court, "I don't know if Wood will continue to use the cover tactic this time."
Lin Sen still didn't dribble, and Billups still dribbled the ball forward, but this time Lin Sen and Billups were very close. They were almost only less than two meters apart.
The Bobcats players looked directly at Billups and Linson who came to the frontcourt. Felton, Gerald Wallace, and Jason Richardson stood near the top of the key.
Together with Lin Sen and Billups, the five of them gathered at the top of the arc looked particularly weird.
"What position is this?" Kenny Smith expressed the thoughts of many people.
As before, Gerald Wallace was guarding Lin Sen, wanting to hug Lin Sen directly in front of him, with Jason Richardson standing on the outside.
Billups made a gesture and suddenly turned around and ran towards Lin Sen's side with the ball.
The distance between the two was very close. Billups suddenly turned around and ran, forcing Gerald Wallace to get out of the way. He didn't want to get fouled for blocking.
However, his concession gave Linsen a chance to run. When he passed Billups, Billups handed the ball to Linsen.
After passing the ball, Billups also helped Linsen block Jason Richardson. Felton, who was guarding Billups, immediately dropped Felton and followed Linsen.
Gerald Wallace also turned and chased Linsen, but Linsen, who was holding the ball, did not dribble directly but pushed the ball towards Milicic who was pulling out.
Milicic, who was one step inside the three-point line, received the ball and passed it forward, and his body helped Linsen block Felton and Gerald Wallace.
Although Milicic blocked the ball for only a moment, it was enough for Linsen. He caught the ball and took a step forward to shoot, and the ball went steadily into the basket again.
"48 points, only two three-pointers away from 54 points. Charlotte fell to Orlando's cover tactics for two consecutive rounds. I can already feel Sam's anxiety." Charles Barkley said with a smile.
.
These two successful goals also allowed Lin Sen to completely find the feeling. He took the trouble to cover and forced the Bobcats to use almost all the strength of the team to defend Lin Sen.
"Wood shot, he shot beautifully. With 53 points, Wood raised his score to 53 points, which is only 1 point away from his personal single-game scoring record of 54 points." Kenny Smith said while looking at Lin Sen who raised his right hand in celebration.
.
In just three minutes, Lin Sen increased his personal score from 43 points to 53 points, getting closer and closer to the 60-point mark.
The only thing the fans are looking forward to is the Bobcats' offense. They don't want the Bobcats not to score goals.
At this moment, the Bobcats' deficit has reached 26 points. If the deficit continues to widen to 30 points, Lin Sen may sit off the court early because of this.
Bobcats coach Sam Winterson has already had the idea of disarming himself in advance, but there are still six minutes left before the end of the third quarter. It is obviously impossible to give up now, otherwise he can imagine what will happen to him.
.
The score difference of nearly 30 points and the team's desperate defensive attitude caused some criticism from everyone on the team, especially Gerald Wallace.
He wanted to defend Lin Sen one-on-one. Even if Lin Sen scored, he was willing to do so. What he wanted to see was not the team's desperate defense, which was almost as if the whole team defended one person. This gave him a far greater sense of shame.
It's bigger than being beaten up alone.
Especially when I think of what Winterson said during the halftime break, don't let Lin Sen score another goal even if you commit a foul.
This is a shame for him who prides himself on defense. Gerald Wallace, who has been holding his breath and holding it back more and more, returns to the offensive end to pass the ball.
Facing Artest who was guarding him, Gerald Wallace used his speed to forcefully tear apart Artest's defense. His body collided with Artest's and he was staggering, looking like he was about to get ready at any moment.
Pretty average.
Gerald Wallace's sudden outburst surprised everyone. Gerald Wallace, who passed Artest, rushed to the inside with anger.
With Dwight Howard on the inside, Gerald Wallace swatted the ball and jumped up towards Howard.
Howard didn't expect Gerald Wallace to rush in so crazily. Howard, who was a little slow to react, just jumped up and Gerald Wallace came to him.
"Oh my god! Gerald hit Dwight hard!" Kenny Smith shouted while looking at the court.
Bang!
Gerald Wallace dunked the ball into the basket almost through Howard.
With a strong tug on the basket, Gerald Wallace let go and jumped to the ground.
Gerald Wallace almost shocked everyone with a dunk over Howard's tomahawk.
Roar!
Gerald Wallace clenched his fists with both hands and slammed down, shouting at the sidelines.
"Gerrard's dunk was so beautiful this time. But why do I feel that his roar was not directed at the Magic fans but at the Bobcats bench?" Kenny Smith expressed his doubts.
"Well, I also have this feeling. To be honest, Gerrard definitely deserves a bigger contract. Cleveland's choice of Mike Bibby is good, but I think it may be better to choose Gerrard, although then their defenders
The position is weak, but it does not mean that there is no way to strengthen it." Barkley said with a smile, "Maybe Orlando should be lucky, otherwise LeBron and Gerrard would defend Wood together, okay. Even if Orlando has to keep doing it for Wood
Screening doesn't necessarily help Wood deflect."
Sam Winterson and Jordan felt even more clearly. They clearly felt that Gerald Wallace was roaring at them.
Howard was depressed and picked up the ball and handed it to Billups. Linsen and Billups still came to the frontcourt together, but a surprising scene appeared again.
"Oh, what's going on? Gerrard seems to be signaling Jason to get out of the way. He wants to defend Wood alone?" Kenny Smith looked at the court in surprise.
Jason Richardson was also puzzled. But Gerald Wallace’s firm signal made him choose to get out of the way.
Lin Sen was even more surprised that the method that had been pestering him in the second half was actually given up by Gerald Wallace himself.
"One-on-one, come on!" Gerald Wallace said softly.
"kindness?"
"One-on-one, come on!" Gerald Wallace said again.
Lin Sen laughed: "Why?"
Gerald Wallace said calmly: "There is no reason."
"Chauncy!" Lin Sen raised his right hand. Since Gerald Wallace said this, how could he disagree.
Billups, like everyone else, didn't know that there was a sudden change on the court, and when he saw Lin Sen, he asked to pass the ball immediately.
"One-on-one. Wood and Gerrard's offensive and defensive drills. Although I don't know what happened in Charlotte, I prefer this scene." Barkley said with a smile.
Lin Sen pulled the ball, leaving a little distance between him and Gerald Wallace.
With continuous crotch dribbling, Gerald Wallace exuded an aura that had never been seen before in the entire game. Lin Sen had seen this kind of defensive aura from Artest, as if he was about to crush him at any time.
.
Snapped!
After slapping the ball, Lin Sen started to speed up fiercely. However, Gerald Wallace didn't panic at all and slid sideways with his chest raised to slow down Lin Sen's speed.
Just when Linsen was relying on Gerald Wallace, Gerald Wallace suddenly slipped.
The two people who had only relied on each other were separated in an instant. Lin Sen, who was about to cut in forcefully, did not expect that Gerald Wallace would suddenly do this.
Caught off guard, I lost my center of gravity and my steps became confused.
It directly caused the ball to be dribbled high. Lin Sen immediately realized that it was not good. He often used this trick when defending others, but he did not expect that the opponent would use it on himself.
Although Lin Sen made an immediate rescue, Gerald Wallace still did not give Lin Sen time to make amends.
Snapped!
Gerald Wallace, who was sliding to defend, took a quick step forward. His left hand accurately cut on the basketball that bounced off the floor.
"Oh, Gerrard stole the ball and Wood lost the ball!" Kenny Smith was surprised.
After stealing the ball, Gerald Wallace got out of Lin Sen's body and caught up with the ball, and Lin Sen immediately turned around to pursue the ball.
Although he was very fast, Gerald Wallace did not give Lin Sen a chance to surpass him and directly carried Lin Sen to the basket.
Lin Sen wanted to block the shot, but Gerald Wallace's left hand was like a wall and couldn't be pushed at all. Lin Sen could only watch as Gerald Wallace blocked the shot under his interference.
The ball went into the basket.
Roar!
After Gerald Wallace landed, he roared again, this time almost the same as before.
