legendary point guard

With his strong body, endless trash talk and countless small moves, Artest made every offensive player feel extremely difficult on the defensive end.

Coupled with the vicious reputation at the Palace of Auburn Hills a few years ago, this made many people feel intimidated by him.

Artest took it for granted that the rookie in front of him would fear him, but he was disappointed.

Lin Sen ignored Artest's eyes, turned around and threw the ball in his hand. The ball went into the basket steadily, and the fans at the target center immediately cheered.

Artest behind him was very angry with Lin Sen's behavior. He hadn't seen anyone who dared to provoke him for a long time.

"Rookie, you are really different."

After the sound of Artest gnashing his teeth came from behind, he heard the footsteps of Artest leaving.

Regarding Artest, it is absolutely impossible for Lin Sen to not care at all. Facing Artest's defense, Lin Sen has no certainty of winning at all, but treating Artest like this is not arrogant but because of Ah Tester's surname.

Although Artest's ability is unquestionable, his character will always bring big troubles to the team. It was his impulsiveness that destroyed the Pacers who had great hopes of hitting the O'Brien Cup in the Palace of Auburn Hills incident.

In the end, Reggie Miller retired sadly after the end of the season. If it weren't for Artest's impulse, maybe the Pacers would have won the championship that season.

But after that incident, Artest still hasn't changed much, and the Palace of Auburn Hills incident also made him a thorn in the referee's eyes, and his fiery temper made him often get technical fouls.

Before the game, Lin Sen had a plan, which was to find a way to provoke Artest. Although this method seemed very risky, Lin Sen decided to try it.

As long as Artest is restrained, the King's defense will be greatly reduced, and the pressure on the team will be much less, and the hope of winning will be much greater.

In addition, the coaching staff also practiced Lin Sen's off-ball running before the game against the Kings. In the eyes of Devin Casey, Artest's single-defense ability is excellent, but his foot speed is slow and the speed is exactly Lin Sen's. Sen's strengths.

When the referee blew the whistle to signal the starting players of both sides to come on stage, the cheers of the fans reached the first climax.

The last home victory over the championship-level San Antonio Spurs gave Timberwolves fans a burst of confidence in the team.

For the king whose record is not as good as their own, Timberwolves fans take it for granted that the team will win.

But at the beginning of the game, the Kings took the lead in completing the goal amidst the boos of the Timberwolves fans.

The goal was Kevin Martin, who was selected by the Kings in the second round the year before last. After two seasons of growth, Kevin Martin averaged 19.8 points per game in the new season, second only to Artest.

After receiving Madsen's serve, Lin Sen quickly dribbled the ball forward.

As Artest said before the game, if he was responsible for defending Lin Sen, Lin Sen was forced up by Artest just after halftime.

With open arms, Artest stood in front of Lin Sen with a smile on his face: "Rookie, welcome to experience the Ron defensive aircraft."

"Really? I will have a pleasant experience, right?" Lin Sen asked with a smile, looking extremely relaxed.

"Yes, so happy that you will never forget it for the rest of your life." Artest's smiling face remained the same, but he suddenly took a step up, and his strong body directly hit Lin Sen.

Strong muscles and ruthless strength, this is Lin Sen's most direct feeling.

Lin Sen also experienced strong defenses such as Baron Davis and Andre Miller before, but they are far inferior to Artest at the moment.

Artest seems to exude strength from every part of his body. No wonder Artest was able to break Michael Jordan's ribs when he was in the Bulls. Under Artest's impact, Lin Sen almost lost control of the ball. .

"How do you feel? Seeing how skinny you are, I can't bear to hit you. Maybe being a badass is more suitable for you than being a player."

Without waiting for Lin Sen to fight back, Artest hit again. Lin Sen staggered and controlled the ball in a bit of a panic. He pulled the ball back with his left foot and took a step back, slightly pulling away from Artest. distance.

However, Artest was obviously not going to make Lin Sen wishful, and took a step to try to occupy Lin Sen's space.

Lin Sen knew that he had to take the initiative to find an opportunity, so he refused Eddie Griffin to come up as a cover, and Lin Sen retreated again.

Seeing Lin Sen receding a little bit, getting farther and farther away from the three-point line, the fans couldn't help but get anxious.

Artest smiled contemptuously and took another step, but Lin Sen immediately pulled sideways at this moment.

Artest immediately slid to defend, but Lin Sen didn't evade the ball with his right hand, and quickly pulled back with a change of direction, which caught Artest, who was gliding, a little off guard.

As a top defensive player, Artest knew that his speed was not superior and immediately wanted to use his body to interfere with Lin Sen's breakthrough.

The right foot stepped directly to the right side of Artest's body, bowed, and immediately stepped out with the left foot.

It was almost close to Artest's body and forcibly broke through, but Artest's strength still almost caused Lin Sen to fall in embarrassment.

With a stagger, Lin Sen's knee almost touched the floor, even so Lin Sen's left hand still firmly controlled the ball.

Watching Lin Sen's dribble, the fans couldn't help worrying about Lin Sen.

Seeing that his left knee was about to hit the floor, he quickly pressed his right hand to the floor. Lin Sen quickly adjusted his body's center of gravity and stepped forward with his left foot.

Artest quickly stepped back to try to stop Linsen, but when he stepped back, Linsen was out of his control.

The King's players did not expect Lin Sen, a rookie, to break through Artest's defense at a disadvantage, so that Lin Sen didn't react until he shook off Artest.

Garcia hastily dropped Hassell to make up defense, and Raheem on the inside was also ready to leave Eddie Griffin to make up defense for Linsen.

Originally Linsen was going to pass the ball to Hassel, but Mike Bibby's replacement was quick.

Glancing at Raheem who was about to throw away Eddie Griffin, he suddenly stopped.

Another pull-up jump shot?

The fans at the scene couldn't help thinking.

Lin Sen's emergency stop made Rahim, who was about to jump out from the inside line, take a sudden step and raised his arms high, and Garcia, who came up from the other side, ran towards Lin Sen and jumped up.

Snapped!

The ball left Lin Sen's palm at a high speed and hit the ground directly against Raheem's body and bounced towards Eddie Griffin.

When Raheem turned around, there was already the sound of Eddie Griffin dunking behind him.

"Wood, thank you for passing the ball!" Eddie Griffin shouted at Lin Sen, and the period of cooperation with Lin Sen was undoubtedly the most wonderful of his career.

Lin Sen backed up quickly, passing by Artest Lin Sen turned his head and smiled at Artest.

"Hey, Ron, it looks like you almost caught me, a rookie?"

After speaking, Lin Sen shrugged his shoulders with an extremely relaxed look, turned and ran to the backcourt.

Anger rose from the bottom of Artest's heart in an instant, and no one had ever felt so provocative to him.

Artest ran to the frontcourt with anger, and he saw the rookie from a distance preparing to talk to Hassell.

Just when he was about two meters away from the three-point line, Lin Sen suddenly raised his finger and pointed at Artest.

"Trenton, wait for me to defend that guy!"

These words fell into Artest's ears, and almost made him fly into a rage. A rookie is so arrogant.

"Mike, give me the ball, I want to see how he defends me." Artest stretched out his hand and shouted at Bibby who was in possession of the ball.
