"Somewhat beyond our expectation, maybe we can see Brandon and Wood play in the second half. If so, I think we should thank the first-year rookies." Mark Jackson said with a smile.

After the start of the second half, Linsen and Roy still did not play. Rudy Gay took over the offensive power. However, Kevin Durant was still feeling hot. By the tenth minute of the second half, the sophomore not only failed to catch up.

The score was up, but fell behind by 16 points.

Of course Daniel Gibson has no touch. The team can only score with Rudy Gay and Aldridge.

"The sophomore requested a timeout. I don't know how LeBron will adjust. Maybe replacing Brandon and Wood is the best way." Steve Kerr said while looking at the sidelines.

"Brandon, Wood, you two come out and let the first-year rookies know how good you are, come on!" James said looking at Roy and Linsen.

Roy and Lin Sen looked at each other: "No problem!"

"Oh, LeBron really replaced Brandon and Wood. First-year rookies, your good luck ends here." Mark Jackson said with a smile.

But now the first-year rookies have gained confidence and don't care about Roy and Lin Sen playing.

"It seems they don't care about us. You come first or me first?" Lin Sen looked at Roy and asked.

"You are a new father. I think you should come first. How about using the Rookie Game MVP trophy as your first gift? If I pass the ball to you, treat it as a gift to my two children?" Roy laughed.

He said.

"Brandon, you are so stingy, so I can only accept it." Lin Sen smiled and gave the ball to Roy, and ran forward.

"Wood gave the ball to Brandon and ran forward instead. What are they going to do?" Mark Jackson was very curious.

At the moment, the second-year insiders are Aldridge, Paul Millsap, Rudy Gay, Lin Sen and Roy, and the first-year players are Al Horford, Jeff Green, Kevin Durant, and Mike.

Conley and Juan Carlos Navarro.

Falling behind the rookies made the second graders look very embarrassed. They also had to admit that Lin Sen and Roy were the two strongest among them.

Roy controlled the ball and came to the frontcourt. The person responsible for defending Linson was Grizzlies main point guard Mike Conley. Although Conley is still a rookie, he has proven that he does not only rely on Greg Oden's talents.

Survival also proved that his choice of Memphis was not wrong.

Roy directly handed the ball to Lin Sen. After Lin Sen received the ball, Conley immediately moved up a step and the distance between him and Lin Sen was very small, almost sticking himself to Lin Sen.

"Wood received the ball and Mike was guarding him. As a rookie, Mike was good defensively, but Wood is a guy who would give any top defender a headache." Steve Kerr said with a smile.

He raised the ball high with both hands, stood firmly with his left foot, and held out his chest against Mike Conley, who was pressing against him. Lin Sen was not very tall, but he was a little taller than Conley.

After hitting Conley on the chest and getting a little space, Lin Sen leaned forward and placed the ball between his waist and abdomen with both hands.

"Hey, rookie, you can't guard me." Lin Sen said with a smile, but Mike Conley ignored Lin Sen and put his right hand directly in front of Lin Sen's eyes.

"It seems you don't believe it!" Lin Sen said with a shrug. As soon as he finished speaking, he stabbed Conley's left side with his right foot.

Conley, who has played against Lin Sen once this season, knows how terrifying Lin Sen's strength is, and he tries his best to control his impulse to move his feet.

Mike Conley's idea was absolutely correct, but unfortunately he encountered Lin Sen. Lin Sen was so unreasonable that he didn't care whether Mike Conley moved or not. He quickly retracted his right foot and straightened his back quickly.

Straight up in front of Mike Conley.

"Wood, just take off!" Michael Jackson shouted loudly.

Mike Conley reacted quickly and immediately jumped up to interfere with Lin Sen's shot, but Lin Sen didn't care and threw the ball with his body leaning slightly backward.

The ball jumped over Conley's fingers and flew straight to the far basket. Lin Sen felt very good.

Whoosh!

There was a clear sound of brushing the net, and Lin Sen raised his right hand high.

"It's so accurate. Although the second graders are still 13 points behind, I think most people are like me and are destined to come back and win the second grade." Mark Jackson said while looking at Lin Sen who was celebrating with Roy with high fives.

The rookies who returned to the offensive end handed the ball to Kevin Durant, who had already scored 32 points. However, Durant failed to score this time. After shooting, Aldridge steadily won the defense.

The rebound was immediately handed to Lin Sen.

Lin Sen did not dribble the ball himself but handed the ball directly to Roy. After returning to the frontcourt, the person standing in front of Lin Sen was not Mike Conley but second-place Kevin Durant.

Lin Sen has not had a direct confrontation with Durant this season, but Lin Sen has paid attention to reports about Kevin. Durant has done well at least in terms of scoring in the SuperSonics, averaging 20 points per game and Jeff.

Green has become the team's hope for future growth.

But the only regret is that this hope does not belong to Seattle, because next season the SuperSonics will move from Seattle to Oklahoma City, the city where the Hornets briefly relocated due to the hurricane.

Linson didn't care when facing Kevin Durant, who was a full 2.08 in height, even though he seemed to be completely covered by Durant.

With Roy's glance, Lin Sen, who had been sticking close to Durant, suddenly accelerated.

Kevin Durant showed agility that was inconsistent with his height. But even so in the face of Linsen's movement, Durant was still left behind.

Durant gritted his teeth and chased after him, but quickly lost hope.

"Wood passed through the inside and ran to the right corner! There is no one in the first grade, this is an opportunity, Brandon passes the ball!" Steve Kerr shouted.

As soon as he landed in the bottom corner, the basketball was immediately passed by Roy.

Use both hands to catch the ball steadily, and use your left foot as the axis to directly turn around and take off from the narrow bottom corner.

Aiming at the basket in the air, Lin Sen shot the ball.

Jeff Green also rushed over in a hurry, but there was no pressure on Lin Sen.

With Jeff Green's helpless expression, the ball quickly rose up and finally arced into the basket amid the cheers of the audience.

"WOOD...LIN..." the DJ shouted at the top of his lungs, and the fans cheered wildly again, as if it was Lin Sen's home court.

"Two consecutive three-pointers, the difference is only ten points, and there are still nine minutes left before the end of the game. The ten-point difference is not a problem for Wood at all. Looking at Wood's touch tonight, I have a hunch that Wood will make a three-pointer.

The defending champion of the competition." Mark Jackson said with a smile.

The ten-point difference made the first-year rookies on the field feel uneasy, not to mention that there were still nine minutes left in the game.

The recent continuous cooperation between Lin Sen and Brandon Roy also made the first-year rookies start to pay attention to teamwork, and the rookies have a good touch. It is precisely in this way that they can maintain a weak lead even though they are constantly being chased for points.

.

"Are the rookies going to keep winning until the end?" Steve Kerr said while looking at the big screen.

There are still two minutes and ten seconds left in the game. In the past six minutes and fifty seconds, the rookies have tenaciously withstood the ferocious firepower of the sophomores and are still one point ahead of the sophomores.

Mike Conley came to the frontcourt with the ball and handed it to Kevin Durant. Durant and Jeff Green played a cooperative game.

"The cooperation between Kevin and Jeff's teammates, Kevin made an emergency stop!" Before Steve Kerr could shout, Lin Sen, who was supposed to be guarding Mike Conley, appeared behind Durant.

Before Durant could react, Lin Sen slapped the ball away.

"Wood. Wood's block! Kevin never expected that Wood would appear behind him."

In response to Mark Jackson's words, Lin Sen quickly landed and caught up with the ball that was slapped down by him.

However, Mike Conley retreated quickly, and Lin Sen simply slowed down. He thought the game would be over soon, but he didn't expect the rookies to be so tenacious.

He looked up and saw that two minutes had passed on the big screen: "We can't wait any longer."

Gamario Moon is an undrafted player. But he worked hard to establish himself in the Raptors and showed everyone his abilities, especially his strong physical fitness.

He is also called Moon Man by fans because of his name. He will also participate in the slam dunk contest in this All-Star Game, but he is undoubtedly the most ignored one under the double-team of Gay, Lin Sen and James.

Rudy Gay, known as Little Eddie, was destined to be Linsen and James' supporting role before the game.

Moon, who was replaced at the moment, worked hard on the defensive end. He did not have any fear because of Lin Sen's strength. He still maintained a good attitude and calmly looked at Lin Sen in front of him.

Lin Sen liked Moon's defensive attitude very much. He seemed to see the shadow of Azubuike, but he also knew that Azubuike was far from having the physical fitness of Moon in front of him.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The ball hit the floor back and forth, the rhythm getting faster and faster.

Munn also became more and more cautious. He stared at Lin Sen closely with his eyes and began to pace non-stop.

Lin Sen still maintained his dribbling posture and took no further action, which made Moon even more nervous.

"For Moon, who is still a rookie, dealing with Wood is a rare learning opportunity." Mark Jackson said with a smile.

"But many people can't stand such opportunities. This is the difference between good players and ordinary players. Good players can always grow through setbacks and failures, but ordinary players cannot. Great players are constantly facing setbacks and obstacles.

He eventually became a great guy." Steve Kerr said.

Lin Sen suddenly accelerated to the right, and the increasingly nervous Moon immediately reacted and subconsciously slid to the right in an attempt to block Lin Sen's progress.

At this moment, seeing Moon's defensive reaction, Lin Sen made a forward change of direction. Moon's body center of gravity changed subconsciously, and Moon reacted by moving to the left.

It was this opportunity that Lin Sen needed. Just when Moon responded to Lin Sen's attack with amazing reflexes, Lin Sen completed another change of direction and then used his right foot to exert force and his left leg to cross to Moon's right side.

Then he followed up with his right foot and accelerated again. Moon was thrown behind Lin Sen. Lin Sen, who passed Munn, made an emergency stop jumper.

"Wood hit a pull-up jumper. Although Moon defended very hard, he still failed to succeed. Wood's key pull-up jumper helped the sophomore officially overtake the score. Wood only played eight minutes and increased his personal score to 18

There are still one minute and twenty-two seconds left before the end of the game, and the rookies are in danger." Steve Kerr said while looking at the big screen.

The rookies who returned to the offensive end felt the pressure of the second-year defense. Durant threw the ball almost as the twenty-four seconds were about to expire.

The result of such a forced shot can be imagined. The ball hit the basket and Paul Millsap firmly controlled the defensive rebound.

"Wood, end the game!" Roy pulled Lin Sen and said softly.

"No problem, you pass the ball and I shoot?"

"Of course!" Roy said with a smile.
