"In the last minute and a half, the atmosphere in the audience froze. As long as KG sends this free throw to the basket, Minnesota will take the lead against Orlando for the first time in the audience."

Hoffman said, looking at Garnett walking towards the free throw line.

Following the referee's whistle, both players returned to the field, and Lin Sen immediately felt a familiar gaze staring at him.

Looking at it according to the feeling, it was Garnett who caught his eyes. Garnett's familiar eyes at the moment are the same as the eyes he had when he first came to Minnesota.

Lin Sen smiled at Garnett and walked away from Garnett's eyes to the right side of the arc.

Garnett walked straight to the free throw line. When Garnett walked to the free throw line, there was a uniform mvp cheer from the audience.

Standing outside the three-point line, Lin Sen couldn't help recalling those mvp nights that belonged to him, shook his head and focused entirely on Garnett.

After the whistle sounded, Garnett adjusted his rhythm, and Lin Sen bowed his body and was ready to rush in to get a defensive rebound at any time.

But Garnett let all the Magic fans down, and his second free throw went steadily into the basket.

"kg, the second free throw was still hit steadily. He didn't give Wood a chance and led by one point. Although it was only a small lead that could be ignored, for Minnesota, who played as a chaser for nearly two hours, this time The overtake will greatly boost their morale." Bill Wharton analyzed it in this way. .

However, what made the Magic even more desperate was that returning to the offensive end, Lin Sen's breakthrough point was given to Chris Webber, but Webber's mid-range shot failed to hit.

"Orlando is dangerous now. The ball is not theirs. As long as Minnesota completes this offense, the pressure will return to Orlando. For Orlando, they must do a good job of defense. Now there are 61 minutes before the end of the game. Seconds, there is no time." Hoffman said, staring closely at the Magic fans who quickly retreated.

Off the field, Stan Van Gundy scratched his hair annoyed. Just now, Lin Sen's breakthrough and scoring opportunity was just right, but Garnett's defensive speed was too fast. Although he did not directly interfere with Weber, it still brought pressure to Weber.

Jamal Nelson dribbled the ball into the half court, Lin Sen didn't make a steal but spread his arms to put pressure on Nelson as much as possible.

Nelson didn't come by himself. When the time came to 24 seconds and 12 seconds before the attack time, Nelson directly lobbed the ball over Linsen's head.

"Jamal chose to pass the ball, and it is still handed over to KG. Now Darko is in charge of defense. Darko is not at a disadvantage in terms of height. I wonder if he can take on the team's continued defensive tasks." Bill Wharton stared Looking at Garnett and Milicic said.

Milicic put himself completely on Garnett's body. Lin Sen, who was one step inside the three-point line, glanced at Jamal Nelson, who was in charge of the defense, and quickly thought about whether to take risks.

Garnett dribbled the ball on Milicic's shoulders and made two feints in a row, but Milicic didn't hesitate. Seeing that the attack time entered five seconds, Lin Sen decided to gamble based on Garnett's previous offensive habits. a handful.

Bang!

Garnett hit Milicic behind him again, and Linsen also started to step back a little bit, and his body completed a half-turn, with his left hand covering Nelson's direction.

"coming!"

Lin Sen muttered silently, according to Garnett's past habits, this time is an absolute good opportunity, Lin Sen didn't want to miss it, so he immediately sped up and went straight to Garnett.

And at this moment, just as Lin Sen judged, he will turn around and take off to shoot after hitting again. For Lin Sen, the best opportunity is the moment Garnett turns and takes off, which requires a lot of his speed and timing.

"Wood..."

Bill Walton shouted as he watched Lin Sen who suddenly started on the field.

Caught off guard by the fans in the audience, Lin Sen had already rushed to the inside, and the ball in Garnett's hand was also exposed to Lin Sen's eyes. Lin Sen ruthlessly pulled out the ball between Garnett's hands.

Garnett, who had just turned around, also caught a glimpse of Lin Sen rushing towards him, subconsciously wanting to speed up his hands.

Snapped!

There was a crisp sound, but it was not the sound of pulling out the ball, but it hit Garnett's arm.

"Oh, this is a thug foul. Wood made a mistake for his gambling steal. This foul at a critical moment is likely to destroy all hope for Orlando." Huffman looked annoyed and raised his arms high to signal his thug foul Lin Sen said.

"It's just a little bit close. It doesn't matter if you make the next attack." Stan Van Gundy pulled Lin Sen.

Stan Van Gundy's attitude made Lin Sen compare with Devin Casey to some extent. Even if Stan Van Gundy was only superficial, he was much better than Devin Casey.

"Coach, I won't admit defeat!" Lin Sen said firmly, he raised his head and glanced at the big screen. At this moment, there are 42 seconds before the end of the game. Orlando is one point behind, and his thug foul just now also sent Garnett away. Over the free throw line.

"Judging from the results, Wood's risky steal is very inappropriate, but if he didn't do it, he might not be Wood. Many people like his gambling steal. Since it is called a gambling steal, it means that we should know that such a steal Risk, in fact, from the playback point of view, if kg is slower, then the result may be completely different by 0.1 seconds.

And the game has not yet reached the end of the game. It is too early to say all this. Countless games have proved that a guy with a big heart will not be annoyed by previous misses or mistakes. Maybe Wood will show his big heart to the old man. The host staged a farewell. "

"Bill, what you said is not bad, but if KG hits two free throws, the pressure on Orlando will be much greater, and the first free throw will be hit."

In Hoffman's voice, Garnett's first free throw went steadily into the basket.

The mvp cheers of the audience kept filling Lin Sen's eardrums.

"Don't go in, don't go in, don't go in!"

This is the voice of countless Orlando fans at the moment. Although the time seems to be sufficient, the pressure brought by being behind by three points and two points is definitely different.

It's a pity that Garnett, who has already scored 35 points tonight, didn't give his former younger brother Lin Sen any face.

Swish!

There was another clear sound of clearing the net, and the fans cheered. With a three-point lead and 40 seconds of attack time, as long as the defense is done well and Lin Sen does not have a three-point chance, then the possibility of winning the game is very high.

And Devin Casey also shouted at the field: "Pay attention to his three-pointers, don't let him shoot three-pointers!"

"Devin, obviously knows how powerful Wood's three-pointer is, and you can hear how worried he is about Wood's three-pointer to tie the game." Hoffman looked at Devin who was yelling at the court. .Casey.

Adriana Lima behind the magic bench also pulled down the collar of her windbreaker to reveal her cheeks, and her hands were tightly clasped together, as if she was praying.

林森以最快的速度带球通过了半场，此刻森林狼的防守阵型已经收缩成1-2-2联防，这个由3-2联防演变出来的联防战术很大程度上弥补了3-2联防的缺陷。

At this moment, Devin Casey puts on such a defensive formation. The most important thing is to control Lin Sen's outside line. He doesn't want Lin Sen to hit a three-pointer directly because of the poor outside line defense, giving the team a three-point advantage. Smooth it out.

"Oh, obviously Devin knows how powerful Wood's three-pointers are. Look at his defensive arrangement. How will Wood deal with it?" Hoffman said, looking at Lin Sen who was dribbling.

Jamal Nelson is staring at Linsen closely. The current 1-2-2 zone defense makes his pressure somewhat less, and Ariza and Hassell behind him can cover him at any time on both sides.

Lin Sen didn't hesitate too much, and Milicic, who made a gesture inside, immediately pulled out.

Seeing Milicic pull out, Hassel and Ariza shrank their positions at the same time, ready to supplement Lin Sen who broke through through the cover at any time.

Garnett, on the other hand, didn't pull out completely, but stood one step outside the reasonable collision zone, preparing to defend Lin Sen who might rush in.

Snapped!

Lin Sen slapped the ball hard and made a change of direction.

Seeing Nelson's response in front of him, Lin Sen changed direction again and then directly accelerated.

Milicic's size successfully helped Linsen block Nelson's help defense, and Ariza, who was closest to Linsen, immediately made up from the oblique side, and Garnett on the inside also moved his feet and waited for Linsen's arrival.

"Are you attacking the inside?" Bill Walton looked at Lin Sen who rushed inside without hesitation and wondered. At this moment, rushing to the inside to face Garnett and Ariza, who came up to defend from the side, was not a good choice.

It could even be said to be a wrong choice, but Lin Sen didn't seem to have any worries at all, so he was very puzzled.

Garnett stared at Lin Sen who rushed towards him and raised his right hand high, while Ariza on the other side took a step back and tried to block the breakthrough line on Lin Sen's right side.

Jamal Nelson behind him threw himself at Eddie Jones, who Ariza was in charge of defending. It seemed that Lin Sen could only choose himself this time.

With a sudden rush, Garnett's eyes widened, and at the same time he took a step and waited for Lin Sen's arrival, while Ariza on the other side was also ready to deal with Lin Sen's breakthrough.

what?

Garnett was stunned for a moment, because Lin Sen didn't choose to rush towards him but took a step back.

Lin Sen slapped the ball with his left hand, and the basketball immediately changed its landing point and hit his crotch directly.

After hitting the ground, the ball bounced from his crotch to Lin Sen's right, and at the same time, his right hand quickly recovered.

Garnett immediately realized that Lin Sen might choose to make an emergency stop for a jump shot, and jumped up immediately, hoping to use his height and wingspan to block Lin Sen's shooting space, but Garnett did not dare to press down for fear of being caught by Lin Sen. Sen cheated foul.

Lin Sen jumped high, this choice was completely beyond the expectations of Garnett and Ariza, because Lin Sen has not made a mid-range shot so far in this game, so Garnett even forgot that Lin Sen can actually choose A mid-range shooter, although his shooting ability is not ideal.

Facing Garnett's cover, Lin Sen's body became taller and taller.

The ball leaves Linsen's palm and falls high toward the basket behind Garnett.

Swish!

There was a clear sound of wiping the net, and Lin Sen clenched his fists hard.

"One point, one point!" After murmuring softly, Lin Sen quickly backed away.

Standing on the three-point line with arms outstretched, Nelson shouted, "Defense!"

"This is Wood's first mid-range shot?" Bill Walton turned his head to look at Hoffman.

"If I remember correctly, the ball was right."

"Even if kg is Wood's teammate, he will be deceived by Wood's lack of a mid-range shot in the whole game. No one would have thought that he would choose a mid-range shot at such a critical moment, but Wood did it. It reminds me of someone who said Wood's mid-range shooting is still available, I think he needs to practice his mid-range shooting in the summer." Bill Wharton said.

Devin Casey used up the last short timeout of the team's one-long and one-short for the sake of being conservative. He hoped that through the arrangement, the team would be more sure of winning the game.

"At this moment, there are 32 seconds before the end of the game, which means that Orlando still has at least one chance to attack, but the most important thing for them is to do a good job in this defense, and German called this timeout naturally hopes that the ball will The team can make better use of the ball through this timeout."

"Oh, Stan chose to make a substitution. He replaced Chris and replaced Dennis. The old guy Dennis played again. He didn't perform very well today. Now he puts Dennis on the court. Isn't he worried that Dennis' footsteps will be broken?" Let the team have problems?" Bill Walton said, looking at Rodman on the field.

Rodman pulled Lin Sen and the others to explain again, and then walked straight to the inside.

Garnett sent the ball to Nelson, and Nelson was in no rush, and the best thing he could do was to get the ball to the hoop while running out of 24 seconds of shot clock.

When the time came to the last ten seconds of 24 seconds, Lin Sen didn't stay where he was but pushed forward directly.

However, Nelson passed the ball directly, and the receiver was Garnett who was pulled out from the inside, but at this moment Milicic was standing in front of Garnett.

Garnett, who received the ball, did not make a shot himself, but directly passed the ball to Ricky Davis who ran up.

Without any hesitation, Ricky Davis directly used Garnett to get rid of Grant Hill's marking, and then made an emergency stop and took off to throw the ball.

The sound of the 24-second shot clock rang just after the ball was shot, and the Orlando fans in front of the TV breathed a sigh of relief because Ricky Davis' shot at the buzzer missed.

Rodman directly blocked Blount and then stuck Garnett behind him.

"Dennis's key defensive rebound, he saved a glimmer of hope for Orlando!" Bill Walton shouted, and Rodman, who grabbed the rebound, immediately requested a timeout.

"Too nervous. Minnesota gave Orlando a chance of 7 seconds. 7 seconds are enough to accomplish many things on the basketball court, such as an extremely exciting lore! Now I think all the pressure must return to Minnesota." Bill Walton looked at Devin Casey surrounded by Timberwolves players and said.

As Bill Walton said, Devin Casey was too eager to win this game, so he paid special attention to this defense, and kept loudly reminding Lin Sen.

Although Linsen only stayed in the Timberwolves for more than 20 games, Linsen's key ball ability left a deep impression on Devin Casey.

Although there was a moment when New Orleans' lore was not sticky, Washington's final lore and the two times against San Antonio were all successful completions.

However, Linsen's mid-range jumper just now made Devin Casey have to pay attention. Although Linsen himself tended to solve the problem with a three-pointer at a critical moment in the Timberwolves, after all, the Magic are only one point behind at this moment.

"Hedo, Chris, Eddie, Kelanna, Wood, five of you, play!" Stan Van Gundy quickly ordered the players on the field and immediately began to arrange.

Lin Sen is the undisputed first choice, while Turkoglu and Webb are the second and third choices when the first tactic cannot be played.

beep!

A whistle broke the oppressive atmosphere in the target center, and the final decisive moment came.

7 seconds!

Breathtaking 7 seconds!

"Seven seconds is enough time for the Timberwolves to complete a tactical attack, and it can also be used by Wood himself for singles. What is Orlando's choice? I believe that whether it is tactics or singles, the final first shot must be Wood. Although Wood is a rookie, but Everyone knows that he has a big heart." Hoffman said, looking at Lin Sen who was going up.

Under the cover of his teammates, Lin Sen received a pass from Weber, and Weber immediately cut to the inside after sending the throw-in.

Garnett immediately chased Webb into the lane, and Linson took the ball down, and all the other players ran away.

"This is a singles game! However, other people in Orlando can catch the ball and complete the final shot at any time. Trevor is under tremendous pressure." Bill Wharton said while looking at Ariza.

The basketball shuttled around Lin Sen at an extremely fast speed, and people couldn't help worrying whether Lin Sen would make mistakes because of dribbling too fast.

And Ariza didn't dare to make a move at all, fearing that one move would lead to a foul by the thug and send Lin Sen to the free throw line.

With a sudden sprint followed by an emergency stop, Ariza reacted immediately. He subconsciously believed that Lin Sen would choose to shoot, but in order to avoid being fouled, he did not take off.

However, Lin Sen accelerated again at this time, and Ariza immediately retreated.

Lin Sen pulled the ball horizontally and jumped up to the left of the free throw line.

Ariza also jumped up immediately, but at the moment he was still some distance away from Lin Sen.

"Wood, make a mid-range jump shot!" Hoffman shouted as he looked at Lin Sen who jumped up in the air.

At this moment, the time on the timer has come to the last second.

"Go!"

Lin Sen looked at the basket in the distance and flicked the ball.

This ball is his farewell to the Timberwolves!

Ariza fanned the air with his hand and watched the ball fly into the air.

When the ball reached the highest altitude, the whistle for the end of the game sounded.

"Goodbye, Minnesota!"

After landing, Lin Sen turned around and blew a kiss to the Minnesota Timberwolves flag above the arena.

Swish!

There was a wave of waves behind the Nets. (To be continued.)
