legendary point guard

Before the season started, Timberwolves fans must have been satisfied with an 8-6 first-month record, but now Timberwolves fans undoubtedly want more.

But God is so cruel, abruptly shattering the hopes of Timberwolves fans.

As the head coach, Devin Casey also had to accept the changes in the team. Seeing Lin Sen who was doing shooting practice, he nodded. At least the rookie did not flinch under the pressure.

Without Garnett, the Timberwolves must also make changes in their style of play, and they can only pin their hopes on Lin Sen.

However, Devin Casey also knew that Lin Sen was still a rookie and he couldn't put too much pressure on him, so he specifically told Lin Sen not to be burdened, as long as he did his best.

The last day of November is the last game of the Timberwolves' first month's schedule. This game is also the last game of the Timberwolves' four consecutive owners, and the opponent is the New York Knicks, who have struggled in recent seasons.

Such an opponent is undoubtedly better for the Timberwolves than directly facing a super team like the Spurs. At least it can make it a little easier for the Timberwolves to adapt to life without Garnett and can only rely on rookie Lin Sen.

In the new season, the Knicks fired the famous coach Larry Brown, and the smiling assassin Isiah Thomas personally picked up the coach, hoping to lead the Knicks back to the playoffs.

However, the Knicks' luck in the new season is not good, and injuries attacked the Knicks early.

When the Knicks came to Minneapolis, the team's starting shooting guard Steve Francis and the main small forward Quentin Richardson both hung up the exemption card.

Lin Sen's comeback has made the target center's attendance rate higher, but it still can't compare with the hot record at the beginning of the season.

The number of reporters interviewed in the locker room of the home team before the game was less than before. Except for Lin Sen who was surrounded by a large number of reporters, there were only a few reporters around the others.

"Wood, tonight is your first time leading the team alone, do you have anything to say?"

"Without kg, do you think your performance will be better?"

"Wood, you are a New Yorker. What do you think about facing the Knicks for the first time? Have you ever thought about going back to New York?"

"Wood, Stephen used to be a Timberwolves player, what do you think of the comparison between you and him?"

……

Lin Sen looked at the reporter in front of him, ignoring other questions: "Everyone knows what kind of predicament we are in, but we will not give up, not against any opponent.

Play every game well and wait for the return of kg. This is not only our explanation to kg but also to the fans and coaches. Stephen is my predecessor. There are many things I can learn from. I will do my best tonight. "

Outside the visiting team's locker room, Knicks head coach Isiah Thomas was also being interviewed by reporters.

"Isiah, what do you think of Wood Lynn?"

Isiah Thomas's signature smile, squinting his eyes: "He is an outstanding young player, but he still needs more efforts, and kg's injury is a good opportunity for him to practice.

Although it may make him feel great pressure and even perform poorly because of it, from the perspective of a senior, as long as he can go through such experience and learn it well, it will be of great benefit to his future. help. "

"Is there any special arrangement for him tonight?"

Isiah Thomas said with a smile: "We have our rhythm of play, and I will not reveal our arrangement in advance."

"So have you ever thought about coaching Wood Lynn like through a trade?"

Looking at the reporter Isiah Thomas in front of him, he shrugged: "Not yet, but no one can say in the future."

"You mean you can't rule out the possibility, right?"

"Who can guarantee 100% in the future." Thomas responded with a smile.

In the locker room of the visiting team, the players of the New York Knicks are preparing for the game, and the reporters are also hurrying to conduct pre-game interviews, hoping to get more useful information.

Marbury and Crawford are surrounded by the most reporters, because these two mouths can always bring them good news.

"Wow, are you kidding me? Can the number of three-pointers be enough to explain the problem? And this has never been a problem for me, as long as I think I can." Crawford laughed exaggeratedly.

A reporter immediately asked: "But your three-point shooting percentage in the new season is not very ideal."

Hearing what the reporter said, Crawford snorted in dissatisfaction immediately: "If it wasn't for the damn new ball, my shooting percentage wouldn't be like this. I'm not the only one complaining. Ninety out of a hundred people are complaining about the damn thing. New composite ball."

The topic changed: "However, I feel pretty good recently. I have a hunch. You can witness it at the scene."

Crawford's face is full of confidence, his expression tells everyone that he will play a good game tonight.

Stephon Marbury on the side is also being questioned by reporters.

Once Marbury publicly stated that he was the league's No. [-] point guard, and Lin Sen was said by ESPN to be the No. [-] point guard in the future.

When Marbury made his debut, he was in the Timberwolves. He and Garnett formed the Timberwolves' twin stars to lead the Timberwolves to the playoffs. Marbury is a true New Yorker, and Lin Sen has become a star after he came to the United States. New Yorker.

These three aspects are enough to allow reporters to have more room to ask questions, not to mention that Marbury's mouth is easier to get news than Lin Sen's.

"As a rookie, he performed well, but he is still far away from the first point guard. I don't think he is my replacement, because no one can replace me.

For me, I have only one goal tonight and that is to win. I don't want to leave any favors just because we are all New Yorkers. "

Almost everyone in the Knicks from top to bottom is full of confidence in winning the game, as if the Timberwolves without Garnett are like a piece of meat on a chopping board, they can chop whatever they want.

All the reporters in the locker room left, and Devin Casey walked in. The atmosphere seemed a little depressing, completely different from when Garnett was in the past.

Lin Sen was sitting in front of his locker, with his head down, as if he was thinking about something.

Snapped!

Snapped!

Devin Casey clapped his hands and everyone looked up.

"Wood, you look nervous?"

Listening to Devin Casey's words, Lin Sen shook his head and said firmly, "No, no!"

Devon Casey looked at Lin Sen's eyes and nodded: "That's good, you wore a good pair of shoes tonight, I hope it can give you better luck, you decide whether to pass or shoot during the game."

Unlimited firepower?

Mike James and Ricky Davis looked at each other and looked at Lin Sen angrily.

Even though he knew that he had no good position in the Timberwolves, he couldn't help but feel angry when he heard Devin Casey say this.

Devon Casey spoke a few words briefly, and the staff urged them to enter the venue.

Standing last in the line, Lin Sen clenched his fists while looking at the darkness at the other end of the player tunnel, lowered his head and closed his eyes.

Amidst the weak voice of the live DJ and the boos of the audience, the Knicks players took the lead.

When it was the Timberwolves' turn, the DJ's voice immediately became louder, and the scene changed from booing to cheering.

Seeing Jarich trotting out in front of him, Lin Sen who was standing at the entrance of the passage opened his eyes and stared at the center of the target in the darkness, and slowly loosened his clenched fists.

"Let us welcome our future No. [-] point guard with the craziest and warmest cheers...Wood...Lin...Lin..." The voice of the live DJ was higher than that of everyone before.

Under the slightly hoarse voice, the entire target center was like a volcanic eruption, and the huge decibels sprinted against everyone's eardrums.

Listening to the sound of the scene, a playful smile flashed on the corner of Marbury's mouth.

"Fuck the nervousness, tonight is my game"

With a roar, Lin Sen ran out with his head held high, and cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami rushed to his face.

The blood in the whole body slowly boiled with the continuous cheers.
