Chapter 491 2:1!(1/2)

“I don’t know what to say anymore! Wood was so tough that he had no friends, he hit four points in a row.

Will Eddie House cry and go back to his mother? And he also paid a personal technical foul.

Wood will probably get five points in one go."

"Bill, you are right. Wood scored four points twice in a row. He is so strong that he has no friends. If Wood scores five points, the original six-point difference will expand to 16 points. This is for Boston.

The pressure is just too much," Huffman added.

Lin Sen took the hands of Milicic and Chris Webber and stood up, while Eddie House stood aside with a lonely look on his face.

Doc Rivers had no choice but to request a timeout. He had to make arrangements. Although the time seemed to be enough, the 16-point difference was too big.

The Magic are not an ordinary team. If the point difference cannot be reduced to single digits before the last five minutes, then the Celtics will really kneel down in this game.

The Linsen fans in front of the TV were having a holiday, and Eddie House became a poor background.

After returning from the timeout, Doc Rivers did not replace Garnett and Tony Allen in advance.

The Magic still maintained their original lineup, and Lin Sen stood on the free throw line amid boos.

Garnett glared fiercely at Lin Sen who was taking the free throw. Lin Sen smiled at Garnett. Garnett's interference had no effect on him at all.

First, the technical foul free throw was firmly sent into the basket, and then Lin Sen easily sent the extra penalty into the basket, completing the feat of scoring five points in one offense.

After Garnett came on the court, the Celtics' offense and defense inside have improved.

But Lin Sen was too much of a threat, and with eight minutes left in the fourth quarter, Lin Sen was replaced by Stan Van Gundy and had to rest off the court.

At this time, the Celtics were still 12 points behind the Magic. This point difference made Stan Van Gundy dare to replace Lin Sen and take a rest.

Doc Rivers didn't dare to replace Pierce and Garnett easily, even if Pierce hadn't rested since the beginning of the fourth quarter.

After Lin Sen came off the court, Billups controlled the rhythm, not rushing to attack but slowing down the offensive rhythm and strengthening the defensive end.

"Boston can't find a good solution, and this is a fatal problem.

They must narrow the point difference before Wood comes on the court. If it remains around ten points, I think Stan will be more willing to let Wood rest off the court!" Bill Walton said while looking at the Magic courtside.

On the court, Garnett received a pass from Pierce and hit Eddie Griffin with a back-up. As a former teammate, Eddie Griffin was very familiar with Garnett.

He tried his best to make Garnett feel awkward, but in the end he couldn't stop Garnett from scoring.

Stan Van Gundy glanced at the scoreboard. There were five minutes left before the end of the game, and the Magic still led by 9 points.

The Celtics' Big Three were all on the court. When Stan Van Gundy chose to let Linson sit off the court and rest, the next offense Ray Allen completed a three-pointer against Billups' defense.

The North Shore Garden Arena, which had been suppressed for a long time, finally erupted into wild cheers, and Stan Van Gundy immediately requested a timeout.

"Allen's three-pointer was so crucial. The difference was only six points and 16 points, which has a completely different feeling.

Six points and two three-pointers can tie the game, and sixteen points is like a big mountain. Stan will definitely let Wood play.

The game has finally reached its most exciting moment!" Hoffman said with a smile as he looked at the scoreboard.

No one wants to watch a one-sided game. At this time, there are less than five minutes left before the end of the game, and the six-point difference is not that big.

"Whether Wood will play and continue his magical performance at the beginning of the fourth quarter? If that's the case, I think Boston might as well surrender early.

It's impossible for people on earth to defeat Wood Lin at the cosmic level, don't you think?" Bill Walton turned around and asked.

Hoffman shrugged: "Bill, aren't you talking nonsense? Who can beat someone in super form, but Wood's appearance should boost Orlando's morale.

And Boston will definitely be very strict on Wood's defense. I'd like to know how Wood deals with Boston's defense."

With the referee's whistle, the players from both sides reappeared.

The Celtics used the usual lineup of one large and four small in the first half, while the Magic used the same starting lineup.

Doc Rivers had just stressed guarding Lin Sen again and again. Lin Sen took Milicic's serve, and Tony Allen and Ray Allen were waiting for Lin Sen in the frontcourt.

Lin Sen was dribbling the ball forward while looking at his position on the field.

Double-teaming him means his teammates have a better chance.

Lin Sen came to the frontcourt, Tony Allen pushed forward first, and Ray Allen waited aside, ready to come up and defend at any time.

However, Linsen disappointed the fans. He did not intend to challenge the Celtics defense directly this time, but passed the ball to Billups.

Although Lin Sen passed the ball, Tony Allen and Ray Allen still did not relax their attention on Lin Sen.

Billups chose to post up against Rajon Rondo who was defending him. Just as Lin Sen thought, it would always be difficult for three people to defend four people.

Rajon Rondo struggled to defend himself, but others were completely unable to defend him.

In the end, Billups completed a turnaround jump shot under the defense of Rajon Rondo, and the ball went steadily into the basket.

"Why do I feel disappointed just because Wood didn't participate in the offense?" Bill Walton said.

"Bill, why are you so direct? Chauncey fans will be dissatisfied, but for Orlando as long as they can keep scoring goals, that's fine.

With an eight-point difference, Boston's offense in the next round is very important. If it fails to score, but Orlando can score in the next round, it will not be easy to get back to a double-digit point difference and try to get it back." Hoffman.

Analyze.

The Magic's defense is basically man-to-man, plus rotation. Lin Sen is focusing on Ray Allen.

Before Lin Sen came on the court, Ray Allen's three-pointer helped the Celtics narrow the deficit to just six points.

At this moment, Ray Allen couldn't get rid of Lin Sen no matter how hard he tried. Lin Sen appeared next to Ray Allen at the fastest speed like a piece of dog skin plaster.

After Pierce and Garnett worked together in a pick-and-roll, Garnett hit a mid-range shot and hit the basket. Celtics fans breathed a sigh of relief.

"KG's precise mid-range shot, the score difference is still six points." Bill Walton said with a smile.

Lin Sen took Milicic's serve and came to the frontcourt. Tony Allen was still guarding Lin Sen, and Ray Allen was waiting aside to prepare for a double team.

It was exactly the same as the last offense. Linsen still handed the ball to Billups.

However, this time Billups did not attack by himself but dropped the ball into the hands of Milicic inside. The Celtics, one large and four small, had to face the situation of letting Pierce defend Milicic.

The height difference made Pierce's defense very tight. Lin Sen stood one step inside the three-point line on the right side and glanced at Milicic who was holding the ball behind his back and beating Pierce in singles.

Howard on the inside suddenly made a reverse run and pulled him to the high post. Lin Sen used Howard's cover to directly penetrate from a 45-degree angle.

Before Garnett could react, Lin Sen had already passed by him.

"Dwight covers! Wood cuts in, this is an opportunity!" Bill Walton shouted.

Milicic, who was playing Pierce with the ball behind his back, threw the ball behind his head with his right hand.

Lin Sen, who cut in, looked at the ball flying towards the basket and jumped high two steps away from the three-second zone.

Garnett, who hurriedly returned to defense, was powerless and could only watch Lin Sen perform an alley-oop in front of him.

"The cooperation was beautiful. Darko and Wood cooperated directly. Darko's passing was really good and gave Wood a comfortable opportunity. The point difference is back to eight points again!"

"Wood looks full of energy. This alley-oop dunk was so easy for Wood. There was no pressure at all." Hoffman added.

During the transition between offense and defense, the ball was passed to Ray Allen.

Lin Sen stood in front of Ray Allen with eager eyes. Ray Allen gradually changed his playing style with the Celtics.

But it doesn't mean that he won't make personal breakthroughs in the past. When he was young, Ray Allen was also a representative who could make breakthrough dunks.

Looking at Lin Sen in front of him, Ray Allen made a triple threat move.

Lin Sen maintains a suitable distance from Ray Allen. For Lin Sen, his reaction and speed are his biggest reliance on the defensive end.

After the end of this season, ESPN experts pointed out that Linsen's defensive ability was underestimated.

In fact, Linsen's defense has improved a lot in the past two years from last season to now.

Especially this year, Lin Sen often faces off against the opponent's arrowheads. Such confrontations are very helpful for accumulating experience on the defensive end.

Lin Sen always kept in mind that a real superstar must not only attack but also defend. Lin Sen put in a lot of energy on the defensive end, but it was completely overshadowed by his brilliance on the offensive end.

Ray Allen made two tentative steps in a row, but Lin Sen had no reaction.

Seeing that Lin Sen was not fooled at all, Ray Allen started dribbling the ball by himself.

However, the pressure brought by Lin Sen caught him off guard, and he almost succeeded in intercepting the ball.

The ball was passed staggeringly at the last moment, leaving only ten seconds for the rest of the Celtics.

"Wood successfully defended Allen, and PP caught the ball and faced Ron. Ron had five personal fouls, but for him, it doesn't matter even if he leaves the field with six fouls.

After all, it's the last minute, and there's still Sean on the bench in Orlando, so the most important thing now is to defend PP's offense!" Hoffman said, looking at Artest who was clinging to Pierce.

It was completely different from the beginning of the second half, Artest's defensive intensity increased significantly.

Pierce hit Artest with his back, but Artest didn't give in at all.

In the end, Garnett pulled out again and tried to cooperate with Pierce in a pick-and-roll. Then Milicic's timely defense forced Pierce to force the shot.

The ball hit the edge of the basket and popped out. Lin Sen rushed inside and grabbed the defensive rebound. The Magic immediately turned from defense to offense.

"Boston's attack is formidable. This is Orlando's opportunity. If Orlando succeeds in this attack, the pressure will be greater for Boston. The difference between double digits and single digits is completely different!"

"Bill, what you said is absolutely right. Wood holds the ball and Tony is still the main defender." Hoffman followed up.

Lin Sen did not choose to pass the ball directly this time, but chose to face Tony Allen, which made Ray Allen on the other side move.

"Double double team, Wood didn't pass the ball at the beginning this time!"
