legendary point guard
Chapter 408 The day of becoming a father is getting closer
After receiving David Lee's serve, Jamal Crawford quickly dribbled the ball across the half.
Lin Sen pushed forward with open arms, and Jamal Crawford's convulsion ability is as good as his singles ability, which is enough to be among the best in this league.
After Lin Sen entered the league, he also used Crawford's signature dribble and jump behind the back many times in the game.
Lin Sen knew that as long as Crawford was in good shape, he would not be afraid even if he was defending him at the moment with a defenseman at the level of Bruce Bowen.
"Wood came to defend Jamal, why didn't Sean come to defend? Although I am a hardcore Wood honey, I will not forget Wood's shortcomings. Wood worked hard on defense but still needs more experience to support his defense. I believe that sooner or later One day Wood will be a Gary Payton-level defender."
"Hey, Charles, aren't you worried that Gary will spray you? And you're a high-level wood black. I bet few people except you think that Wood's defense is as strong as a 'glove' level." Kenny Smith reminded.
"I'm not a guy who talks big. I believe my vision. If you don't believe me, let's wait and see." Barkley snorted coldly and looked at the field.
This season Lin Sen has improved a lot on the defensive end compared to last season, but it is far from being excellent defensively. It can only be said that he does not lose his position as much as possible, but Stan Van Gundy is already very satisfied.
Jamal Crawford's continuous cross steps tested Lin Sen's defensive nerves.
Looking at Lin Sen in front of him, Crawford dribbled faster and faster.
Lin Sen blocked Jamal Crawford's eyes with his right hand, trying to prevent Jamal Crawford from making a sudden shot.
Seeing that Jamal Crawford's rhythm suddenly changed, Lin Sen subconsciously moved his footsteps to the left.
"Shit!" Lin Sen regretted moving just now.
But Crawford didn't give Lin Sen a chance to regret it. He quickly moved in the opposite direction, and then jumped up.
Lin Sen forcibly controlled the center of gravity of his body and rushed over, and Crawford had already thrown the ball when he jumped in front of him.
Seeing Crawford's still shooting action, Lin Sen abruptly withdrew his hand. He didn't want to give Crawford a chance to hit a four-pointer.
"Wood controlled his momentum. Obviously he was worried that not only did he fail to guard Jamal, but he would also give Jamal a three-point penalty. You must know that he and Jamal are the best four-pointers in the league." Barkley joked road.
Crawford was a little disappointed. Looking at Lin Sen who was rushing forward, he was ready to hit a four-pointer. He didn't expect Lin Sen to be able to control his hand in the end, which made him a little depressed.
"The same three-pointer, Jamal gave Wood the most positive counterattack. Just now, Wood made a shot over his head. Now Jamal returned one on Wood's head. So what about the next shot?" Kenny Smith said with a smile.
Jamal Crawford raised his arms in celebration of his three-point goal, and the fans booed at the Waterhouse Center.
Lin Sen took Eddie Griffin's serve, looked at the Knicks player in the frontcourt and smiled.
After taking the ball to midfielder Lin Sen stopped and stood on top of the Magic team's target.
"Why did Wood stop suddenly?" Kenny Smith was very curious.
Just when everyone was surprised, Lin Sen raised his arms high and made a motion to signal that the cheers would be louder.
The magic fans who reacted suddenly burst out with crazy energy, which seemed to be able to shake the entire center of the water house.
"Oh, Wood actually asked for cheers. This is Wood's confident performance. In the first three games, Wood like this has completely disappeared from the field, but today Wood has completely returned. Listen to the cheers of the audience, there is no doubt This ball Wood will definitely play alone." Barkley said with a smile.
Jamal Crawford, who stood on the three-point line and looked at Lin Sen, was very upset. Although he was not good at defending, he was not to the point of being ignored by anyone.
Since Lin Sen dared to be so arrogant, he didn't mind embarrassing Lin Sen in front of his home fans and national TV audiences.Crawford, who made up his mind, stared straight at Lin Sen who was getting closer.
"I dare say that Jamal may not have the defensive determination at this moment in his life. He must want to defend the ball." Kenny Smith joked.
"Of course, no one is willing to accept such humiliation, but I believe Wood can do it. He is not a guy without a cool head. I will wait and see for Wood's offense." Barkley looked at Lin Sen who was dribbling and smiled. Said.
Lin Sen stopped again when he was two steps away from the three-point line, quietly looking at Crawford who was one step away from him.
As Barkley said, Linsen is not an easy-headed guy.Since Lin Sen dared to make the first challenge, he must hit the ball in. He didn't want to make himself a joke in the United States.
The Knicks' inside line at the moment is David Lee and Reinaldo Balkman. Both of them are not tall, but at the moment they are both sticking to a small area under the basket.
Like it? However, such a position is obviously not intended to allow Lin Sen to break into the inside and score easily, while Quentin Richardson and Nate Robinson are watching from the sidelines and can come up to help defend at any time.
"You don't plan to let me score, right?" Lin Sen looked at Crawford and said with a smile.
"What do you think?" Crawford responded with a sneer.
Crawford didn't lose his defensive attention because he was talking to Lin Sen. He looked at Lin Sen with fierce eyes, and he wanted to put pressure on Lin Sen in every detail.
Lin Sen dribbled the ball continuously under the crotch.He moved forward a little bit tentatively, but Crawford didn't go up directly, he was worried that he would be directly used by Lin Sen if he went up.
He was very aware of Lin Sen's speed, so Crawford kept going backwards at a speed similar to Lin Sen's.
"You force it up."
"Hmph!" Crawford snorted coldly.He wasn't so stupid to push forward.
Just when Crawford snorted coldly, Lin Sen, who was advancing a little bit, jumped up without warning.
Crawford didn't expect at all that when he reacted quickly and rushed to interfere, he could only try to interfere with Lin Sen's line of sight instead of blocking the shot.
"Go in!"
Looking at the basket, Lin Sen confidently dialed the ball out. Lin Sen felt very good about this ball. Lin Sen is a person who believes in his own feelings, so he made such a decision.
Barkley looked at the ball flying to the basket, thinking in his heart that he must score and must score.
Lin Sen did not disappoint those who supported him. This time, he made a sudden jump shot and got into the basket steadily.
"I said I would score a goal." Lin Sen turned around and opened his arms.
"mvp!"
"mvp!"
"mvp!"
……
"Wood is too confident. But this is indeed a good shot. He didn't let those who were expecting to laugh at him succeed. He scored two three-pointers in a row, and this three-pointer was a direct response to Jamal, and it was far better than just now. Jamal's goal came even more arrogantly, but I think everyone will like this kind of Wood, even Knicks fans." Kenny Smith said with a smile.
Crawford took the serve unhappily.Lin Sen hit him twice in a row, and the one just now was the most direct humiliation to him, he must get another one.
After receiving David Lee's serve, Crawford quickly dribbled the ball across the half.
However, this time Lin Sen's defense was exceptionally tenacious. Even if he lost his position, he would recover his position because of the help of his teammates, while Crawford wanted to score one by himself.Even after Linsen lost his position, the Magic and other magicians came up to give the Knicks a chance to open up. Crawford did not choose to shoot.
Even though Isiah Thomas shouted to pass the ball off the court, Crawford still did not choose to pass the ball.
In the end, Crawford chose to break through and make an emergency stop, but Lin Sen did not lose his position and put a lot of pressure on Crawford. In the end, Crawford failed to make a shot.
Isiah Thomas on the sidelines shook his arm angrily. The team was already 16 points behind. Crawford had a good opportunity and didn't pass it on. Instead, he wanted to play alone. This made him very dissatisfied.
Eddie Griffin took the defensive rebound and handed it to Linsen immediately.The Magic immediately turned from defense to offense, and with the cheers of the audience, the morale of the two teams began to change.
Amidst the cheers of the fans, Lin Sen quickly dribbled the ball across halftime, Nate Robinson and Jamal Crawford.
"New York is planning to double-team Wood, but Wood is not someone who Jamal's teammates have absolutely good opportunities to pass the ball. Wood is a real point guard." Barkley said with a smile.
"Jared, get ready to play, and I'll leave that Wood Forest to you. Don't be fooled easily, you just need to use your height to put pressure on him." Isiah Thomas glanced at the field, turned and walked to Jeff In front of Rees.
"Understood." Jeffries stood up and walked towards the technical table.
"Oh, Isiah is ready to make substitution adjustments. Jared Jeffries is ready to play. Could it be used to defend Wood? It will be a disadvantage. Except for the height." Barkley said, watching Jeffries sitting in front of the technical table waiting for a dead ball to play.
"Charles, don't forget that he has height and wingspan." Kenny Smith reminded.
Crawford and Nate Robinson on the field also saw this. They knew that Jeffries must be playing for one of them, so they worked extra hard on defense.But Lin Sen didn't act recklessly by himself but handed the ball over.
In the end, Chris Webber hit a mid-range jumper, and the Magic also expanded the point difference to 18 points again.
Returning to the offensive end, the Knicks finally made an air cut layup by Nate Robinson. Although it was a two-pointer, it temporarily relieved the Knicks' hemorrhage, even if only temporarily.
One minute later, as Battier missed a three-pointer from the baseline, the two sides scrambled for rebounds and knocked the ball out of the baseline to usher in a dead ball opportunity.
Isiah Thomas simply replaced Nate Robinson and Balkman in addition to Quentin Richardson.
In this way, the Knicks' lineup except Jeffries and David Lee are all starters, and Stan Van Gundy replaced Chris Webber with Milicic, allowing Milicic and Eddie Griffin The partner was inside, and Howard was not replaced.
Not replacing Howard is not because Howard is not as good as Griffin, but to avoid being disrupted by the Knicks using foul tactics to disrupt the team's rhythm.
"Isiah replaced Nate, Quentin and Reynaldo, and Orlando also replaced Chris and Sam, and now there are six minutes to the game, and New York is still 6 points behind. If they If you can't launch a counterattack, then the game is over."
"New York doesn't have the capital to launch a counterattack. Isiah must be very disappointed that Stan didn't replace Dwight. This season, Darko's free throw percentage has increased to 73%, which is a lot better than last season. Now Isiah thinks There is no good effect to use foul tactics. Of course he can choose to try." Barkley said with a smile.
The referee awarded the ball to the Magic after watching the video. Lin Sen received the serve and did not rush to attack. He pulled his head to the top of the arc and looked up the timer.
With a point difference of 18 points, as long as you try to score a few more points to bring the point difference to more than 20 points, the game will be completely suspenseless.
Jeffries quickly stood on the three-point line, waiting for Lin Sen.
Like Crawford on Linson, he doesn't press directly.
His speed is not dominant at all, but his height and arm length are his biggest advantages.Lin Sen can be effectively interfered with without speed.
Lin Sen looked at Jeffries' defense, firmly controlled the ball and signaled Eddie Griffin to pull it out as a screen.
Seeing Lin Sen's sudden acceleration, Jeffries immediately moved his feet.
Bang!
Jeffries, who moved quickly, bumped into Eddie Griffin, who was pulled out to cover, and Lin Sen, who was defending him, took the opportunity to rush in.
Lin Sen, who rushed in, glanced at Jamal Crawford, who was actively defending, and made an emergency stop.
Seeing Lin Sen stop abruptly, Crawford immediately jumped up.He stretched his arms as far as possible, but Lin Sen didn't intend to make a shot himself. Instead, he turned a shot into a pass, and the ball was thrown directly at Artest, who was defended by Crawford.
Marbury's supplementary defense was also quick, but his supplementary defense also cost him Billups' defense. Artest quickly led the ball to Billups.
After Billups received the ball, he was in an unguarded position and made a very easy jumper.
"New York's defense is very active. But it didn't achieve any results. Instead, it made their lineup full of holes. I really don't know how to evaluate their defensive enthusiasm." Barkley shook his head and said, "20 points difference , this is a point difference that is infinitely close to garbage time."
The game continued, and the Knicks were struggling for the last time. After 2 minutes, the Knicks were still 20 points behind the Magic, and at this moment the Knicks' main lineup had been replaced.The Magic still put Howard off the court.
In the words of Kenny Smith, Stan Van Gundy is not going to give Isiah Thomas any illusions.
"Poor Isiah and his New York Knicks, even though the game is not over, they have become the object of national ridicule. Wood has not had many independent attacks in the past few minutes. Will it happen this time? If Orlando The best decision is to call a timeout and give up the game." Barkley said, looking at Isiah Thomas on the sidelines.
Jeffries stood in front of Lin Sen with open arms. After he came on the court, Lin Sen's autonomous attack decreased, which made him dare not relax at all. He didn't know when Lin Sen would come by himself.
His left shoulder sank sharply.At the same time, he quickly stepped out with his left foot, pointing directly at the left side of Jeffries' body.
"Finally I came by myself." Jeffries didn't have time to think about it, and immediately moved his footsteps while not forgetting to open his arms. The super long arms were his best defense.
Lin Sen patted the ball with his right hand.The ball passed through the crotch to the left hand side, and the body leaned to the left at the same time.
After colliding with Jeffries' body, Lin Sen took a small half step back. Seeing Lin Sen taking a step back, Jeffries quickly raised his hand without thinking.
However, when he raised his hand, Lin Sen, who had just taken a step back, suddenly gained speed, and at the same time, his left foot rushed towards the left side of his body again.
Jeffries wanted to take a step back to defend again, but Lin Sen had already passed him.
"Wood, Wood got rid of Jeffries' marking." With Kenny Smith's shout, Lin Sen made an emergency stop and jumped up.
Looking at the basket and throwing the ball directly, the ball passed through the basket a second later.
"Precise pull-up jump shot, 22 points difference, isn't Isiah ready to give up?" Barkley looked at Isiah Thomas on the sidelines, "If you don't give up, you may only get a bigger point difference."
It's not that Isiah Thomas didn't want to give up the game, but after thinking about it, he decided to wait, even though he himself knew that it was impossible to catch up to 5 points in just 20 minutes if he wanted to win.
However, back to the offensive end, the Knicks' offense still failed. Marbury's layup slipped out of the basket under the interference of Milicic, and Eddie Griffin firmly grasped the defensive rebound.
Lin Sen didn't go up to catch the ball, but ran directly to the frontcourt. Jeffries glanced at Lin Sen and immediately followed.
Eddie Griffin goes straight to Chauncey Billups.Billups took the ball and took it upfield.
"Wood didn't take the ball but gave it to Chauncey, and he didn't seem to have any intention of going up to catch the ball." Kenny Smith said with Linson.
At this moment, Lin Sen suddenly started, directly disrupting the Knicks' already terrible defense.
After entering the rotation, the defender of Linsen has changed from Jeffries to Jamal Crawford.
Billups glanced at Lin Sen who was leaning against Jamal Crawford, but Lin Sen did not reach out for the ball, but secretly gave a hint with his right hand.
Just a hint of the eye.Billups understood Lin Sen's thoughts.
And Jamal Crawford, who was close to Lin Sen, wanted to hang his whole body directly on Lin Sen.
"Don't stick to me so tightly, I don't like men, my wife will be angry." Lin Sen said with a smile.
Jamal Crawford behind him ignored Lin Sen, he just wanted to guard Lin Sen.
At this time, Lin Sen's shoulder, who was leaning on him, suddenly swayed to the left, and his right foot stepped on the left side.
Jamal Crawford immediately moved his foot, but just as Crawford moved his foot to his right.Lin Sen quickly withdrew his right foot.
Leaning directly against Crawford, Lin Sen quickly turned around in the opposite direction. Lin Sen's turn was very fast. When Crawford reacted, an acceleration directly cut into it.
"Wood got rid of Jamal!" Barkley yelled.
However, Lin Sen's throwing away of Crawford did not make the rest of the Knicks flustered, because Lin Sen did not run to the open position at the first time, but came directly to the inside. In most people's eyes, Lin Sen was a Going to pass through from the inside and completely throw off Crawford who is defending him.
Eddie Curry on the inside moved quickly, all he had to do was to block Lin Sen who wanted to pass through the inside.
Buy time for the Crawford defense.Eddie Curry thought well, but the fact was not what he thought.
Just when everyone thought that Linsen would use the cover of his inside teammates to throw off everyone and run to the other side to get the chance to catch the ball, Billups, who was holding the ball at about [-] degrees to the left of the three-point line, directly held the ball with both hands a push.
"Is this for Dwight?"
Many people think so, because Billups's ball looks like an alley-oop.
In their view, Lin Sen's running position was a screen for Howard, and the ball must be for Howard.
However, Howard is being blocked by Zach Randolph at the moment, and it is impossible to get the ball in the first place.
And Crawford, who was chasing up from behind, was also overjoyed, because Lin Sen hadn't completely shaken him off.
Just when everyone thought that Billups's alley-oop pass would end in a mistake, Lin Sen kicked off the ground.
"Oh my god! Is this ball for Wood?" Kenny Smith said as he watched the ball begin to fall.
Eddie Curry didn't expect Billups to pass the ball to Lin Sen in front of him.This is undoubtedly a contempt for Eddie Curry.
Eddie Curry raised his right hand to meet Lin Sen who jumped up, and he also jumped up. He wanted to press Lin Sen down with the ball.
However, Lin Sen's body was getting taller and taller, with his chest outstretched and his right hand straight out.
"It is indeed a pass to Wood! How will Wood handle it! Eddie's huge tonnage is in front of him." Barkley said, looking at Lin Sen in the air.
Lin Sen caught the ball passed by Billups with his right hand. Lin Sen didn't expect Eddie Curry to make up the defense so quickly. Looking at Eddie Curry in front of him, Lin Sen instantly had an idea.
"Get down!" Eddie Curry growled and slapped Lin Sen fiercely with his right hand.
Lin Sen didn't forcefully make a move, but quickly received the ball with his right hand when Eddie Curry slapped him.The whole person glides abruptly in the air.
Eddie Curry's right hand slapped into the air, and when everyone was amazed at Lin Sen's terrifying ability to stay in the air, Eddie Curry began to fall.
Lin Sen was still in the air, and the left side of his body collided with Eddie Curry.Grabs the ball with his right hand and throws it toward the basket.
At this moment, it was impossible for Eddie Curry to think about defending. He could only watch Lin Sen smash the ball over his head to the basket.
Bang!
Lin Sen grabbed the basket with his right hand, yanked hard and jumped down, putting his right hand to his ear.
"mvp!"
"mvp!"
"mvp!"
……
Uniform shouts of mvp filled the audience, and Lin Sen enjoyed his moment.
"I really didn't expect it. Wood and Chauncey will cooperate like this. This attack is too bold, but the result is good. Wood once again showed his amazing physical fitness. Let's look at the data just now." Kenny .Smith looked to the big screen.
"This ball is enough to secure the top ten ball list today. There is also a rumor that Wood will participate in this year's slam dunk contest. I don't know if this news is true or not. But I think David Stern will definitely welcome Wood to participate in the slam dunk contest."
"That's for sure. I almost fell asleep watching the slam dunk contest these years. If Wood participates, I will definitely have [-]% energy." Kenny Smith said with a smile.
The big screen immediately showed the data of Lin Sen's dunk just now. The jump height reached 85 centimeters and the airborne time was 0.34 seconds.
And Lin Sen's alley-oop also made Isiah Thomas completely resigned to his fate. Lin Sen, who played in the second half, was in great condition.
This is something he never expected before the game.He thought that Lin Sen would continue to slump, but he was overjoyed that Lin Sen didn't play in the first half. He really wanted to use this game to beat the No. [-] Magic in the Eastern Conference to redeem his recent bad luck.
But Lin Sen's appearance in the second half immediately shattered all his fantasies. Lin Sen was still in a slump, and he was completely in a 100% state. Isiah Thomas felt like crying.
"Isiah finally called a timeout, and the New York bench stood up. Obviously he was going to give up the game." Kenny Smith said, looking at the Knicks bench.
And Stan Van Gundy saw Isiah Thomas standing up the bench and knew that the Knicks were going to give up the game, so he also stood up the bench.
"Wood! Wood! Wood!"
Hearing the cheers from the audience, Lin Sen raised his hands above his head and clapped.
Carolina and Natalie Portman, who were sitting behind the magic bench, smiled. Lin Sen's poor state these days also made them very worried.
And Natalie Portman blamed herself even more after the morning's treatment, and now she was relieved to see Lin Sen playing so well.
Carolina seemed to sense Natalie Portman's thoughts, she held Natalie Portman's hand and patted it lightly.
"Wood is off the field. Wood only started playing in the second half of this game. He only played 15 minutes, but Wood's data is not inferior at all. Let's look at Wood's data." Barkley looked at the statistics.
“15分钟的出场时间,伍德就拿到了27分,而且仅仅投丢了11次出手中的1个球,超高的进攻效率,同时伍德还送出了8次助攻拿到了6个篮板和4次抢断。这是一个即使放到上场40分钟也相当出色的数据。”
"Isaiah obviously made the wrong note, and Wood's performance tonight also warned other teams that it is best to think clearly before defeating the Magic, otherwise they are likely to end up like New York." Kenny Smith said with a smile.
In the end, the Knicks' boastful battle ended with a 30-point defeat for the Knicks.Both Isiah Thomas and Jamal Crawford declined interviews with reporters after the game.
"Wood Comes Back Strongly" - this is the title of the homepage of "espn". The accompanying picture is the scene of Lin Sen dunking after a drift in the air. It's amazing.
Even when Lin Sen got such comprehensive data in 15 minutes, some people stood up and said that the Knicks were already a bad team. The victory over the Knicks is not worth mentioning, and it does not mean that Lin Sen's state has recovered.
However, Lin Sen did not respond positively, but flew to Indiana with the Orlando Magic team that night.
The Magic will usher in a game in Indiana Pacers' territory a day later, but Pacers leader Jermaine O'Neal failed to leave in the offseason.
After the start of the new season, the state was even worse than last season. Due to injuries, the average data per game dropped from nearly 20 points per game last season to 14 points per game this season, and the first game after Christmas was even worse. Injuried.
However, the Pacers' record has not been greatly affected. They are currently tied for eighth in the Eastern Conference with the Atlanta Hawks, and they are very hopeful to reach the playoffs this season.
The biggest reason for the Pacers to maintain their playoff hopes is Danny Granger and Mike Dunleavy, the son of Clippers coach Dunleavy.
The two can contribute 19.6 and 19.3 per game respectively this season, which is the biggest reliance for the Pacers to attack the city.
Mike Dunleavy is 2.06 tall and plays shooting guard and small forward, while Granger, who is 2.03, can play small forward and power forward. Now the two of them occupy the two positions of Pacers shooting guard and small forward.
The height of the two of them makes it difficult for other teams to defend, which is what Pacers coach O'Brien hopes.
The existence of Ron Artest and Sean Battier made the two positions of forward and guard the most feared by the Magic this season.And this game is another battle for Artest to return to his hometown.
If it weren't for his impulsive punching back then, perhaps Reggie Miller would not have retired with regret, and perhaps the Pacers would have become the championship that season.
But all this is only based on the fact that Artest has no impulse, but there is no if in the world.
Artest, who returned to Indiana, became the focus of the reporters, even though his chances of winning in the Magic this season are far less than in the Kings last season.
"I don't regret what's happened, I know I got love here and I took my love out. I'll always remember this place, but I'm a pro and now I'm an Orlando player, I will use all my abilities to defend Danny in the game." Artest said in an interview before the game.
As Artest said before the game, Granger's defense was particularly fierce in the game. Even if the Pacers fans who once loved him booed him, he did not change his defense.
And Stan Van Gundy in order to deal with the Pacers' lineup.Deliberately changed the starting lineup, Battier appeared in the starting lineup for the first time this season, and Billups sat on the bench.
After the start of the game, Danny Granger, who had an eye-catching performance this season and is very hopeful to compete for the Most Improved Player Award, only made 10 of 2 shots in the first half, and he looked particularly embarrassed in the game.
The Pacers' other offensive support this season, Mike Dunleavy, also performed poorly. Granger and Dunleavy were taken care of by Artest and Battier in the game.
Artest and Battier's two players with different defensive styles made Granger and Dunleavy very uncomfortable. Often they had just adapted to Artest's defense before Battier came.And Artest, who adapted to Battier's defense, came again.
It directly led to the poor performance of Dunleavy and Granger in the first half, and the Pacers fell behind the away Magic by a full 20 points at the end of the first half. In the end, the Pacers lost to the Magic at home by a full 40 points. huge difference in points.
At this time, Lindsay Lohan, who had received much attention a few days ago, left Orlando and returned to New York also had a result, because Lindsay Lohan left New York and flew back to Orlando accompanied by Amanda Seyfried.
And Amanda Seyfried was still staying at Lin Sen's villa that night, which caused the gossip media to gossip again, but for Orlando Multimedia, they really hope to see such a thing.
Because this represents the stability of the Linsen family, and the Linsen family will be able to perform even better on the court if they have no worries.
As expected by Orlando Multimedia, Lin Sen performed well in the next game.Lead the Magic all the way to win 14 consecutive victories.
Especially on January 1, it even completed a quasi-lore at the last moment to help the Magic defeat the Washington Wizards and complete their 13-game winning streak.
However, on the second day, January 1, the Magic's 14-game winning streak was ended, and they were still defeated by their opponents when they returned to the home court, the Waterhouse Center.
And it was not the top eight teams in the East and West that ended the Magic's 14-game winning streak, but the Sacramento Kings, which ranked third from the bottom in the West.
The loss of this game, in addition to the fact that the Magic had a physical problem in the second half of the game because of the back-to-back first game and the Washington Wizards fought fiercely until the last 2 minutes.
Even though Lin Sen scored the highest score of 33 points in the game, it did not help the Magic to persist to the end, because Turkoglu and Azubuike performed so well in this game.
Hedo Turkoglu, who returned to the Waterhouse Center for the first time after leaving in the summer, scored his first triple-double of the season.
The audience took 26 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists.It is one of the two major contributors to the King's victory, and the other major contributor is Kelanna Azubuike who joined the Magic from NBDL in the middle of last season and quickly became the starter and won the love of Magic fans.
In this game, Azubuike scored 6 three-pointers and scored 33 points second only to Linsen's 28 points. It was his and Turkoglu's outstanding performance that helped the Kings win victory.
However, the team did not have any emotions when they lost to the Kings. After all, they lost to Turkoglu and Azubuike.
After the game, the Magic team even invited Turkoglu and Azubuike to have a good get together.
The next day Lin Sen asked for leave without training.Instead, he accompanied Natalie Portman and Lindsay Lohan to the best hospital in Orlando for the last pregnancy test. Lin Sen was getting closer and closer to becoming a father.
Lin Sen pushed forward with open arms, and Jamal Crawford's convulsion ability is as good as his singles ability, which is enough to be among the best in this league.
After Lin Sen entered the league, he also used Crawford's signature dribble and jump behind the back many times in the game.
Lin Sen knew that as long as Crawford was in good shape, he would not be afraid even if he was defending him at the moment with a defenseman at the level of Bruce Bowen.
"Wood came to defend Jamal, why didn't Sean come to defend? Although I am a hardcore Wood honey, I will not forget Wood's shortcomings. Wood worked hard on defense but still needs more experience to support his defense. I believe that sooner or later One day Wood will be a Gary Payton-level defender."
"Hey, Charles, aren't you worried that Gary will spray you? And you're a high-level wood black. I bet few people except you think that Wood's defense is as strong as a 'glove' level." Kenny Smith reminded.
"I'm not a guy who talks big. I believe my vision. If you don't believe me, let's wait and see." Barkley snorted coldly and looked at the field.
This season Lin Sen has improved a lot on the defensive end compared to last season, but it is far from being excellent defensively. It can only be said that he does not lose his position as much as possible, but Stan Van Gundy is already very satisfied.
Jamal Crawford's continuous cross steps tested Lin Sen's defensive nerves.
Looking at Lin Sen in front of him, Crawford dribbled faster and faster.
Lin Sen blocked Jamal Crawford's eyes with his right hand, trying to prevent Jamal Crawford from making a sudden shot.
Seeing that Jamal Crawford's rhythm suddenly changed, Lin Sen subconsciously moved his footsteps to the left.
"Shit!" Lin Sen regretted moving just now.
But Crawford didn't give Lin Sen a chance to regret it. He quickly moved in the opposite direction, and then jumped up.
Lin Sen forcibly controlled the center of gravity of his body and rushed over, and Crawford had already thrown the ball when he jumped in front of him.
Seeing Crawford's still shooting action, Lin Sen abruptly withdrew his hand. He didn't want to give Crawford a chance to hit a four-pointer.
"Wood controlled his momentum. Obviously he was worried that not only did he fail to guard Jamal, but he would also give Jamal a three-point penalty. You must know that he and Jamal are the best four-pointers in the league." Barkley joked road.
Crawford was a little disappointed. Looking at Lin Sen who was rushing forward, he was ready to hit a four-pointer. He didn't expect Lin Sen to be able to control his hand in the end, which made him a little depressed.
"The same three-pointer, Jamal gave Wood the most positive counterattack. Just now, Wood made a shot over his head. Now Jamal returned one on Wood's head. So what about the next shot?" Kenny Smith said with a smile.
Jamal Crawford raised his arms in celebration of his three-point goal, and the fans booed at the Waterhouse Center.
Lin Sen took Eddie Griffin's serve, looked at the Knicks player in the frontcourt and smiled.
After taking the ball to midfielder Lin Sen stopped and stood on top of the Magic team's target.
"Why did Wood stop suddenly?" Kenny Smith was very curious.
Just when everyone was surprised, Lin Sen raised his arms high and made a motion to signal that the cheers would be louder.
The magic fans who reacted suddenly burst out with crazy energy, which seemed to be able to shake the entire center of the water house.
"Oh, Wood actually asked for cheers. This is Wood's confident performance. In the first three games, Wood like this has completely disappeared from the field, but today Wood has completely returned. Listen to the cheers of the audience, there is no doubt This ball Wood will definitely play alone." Barkley said with a smile.
Jamal Crawford, who stood on the three-point line and looked at Lin Sen, was very upset. Although he was not good at defending, he was not to the point of being ignored by anyone.
Since Lin Sen dared to be so arrogant, he didn't mind embarrassing Lin Sen in front of his home fans and national TV audiences.Crawford, who made up his mind, stared straight at Lin Sen who was getting closer.
"I dare say that Jamal may not have the defensive determination at this moment in his life. He must want to defend the ball." Kenny Smith joked.
"Of course, no one is willing to accept such humiliation, but I believe Wood can do it. He is not a guy without a cool head. I will wait and see for Wood's offense." Barkley looked at Lin Sen who was dribbling and smiled. Said.
Lin Sen stopped again when he was two steps away from the three-point line, quietly looking at Crawford who was one step away from him.
As Barkley said, Linsen is not an easy-headed guy.Since Lin Sen dared to make the first challenge, he must hit the ball in. He didn't want to make himself a joke in the United States.
The Knicks' inside line at the moment is David Lee and Reinaldo Balkman. Both of them are not tall, but at the moment they are both sticking to a small area under the basket.
Like it? However, such a position is obviously not intended to allow Lin Sen to break into the inside and score easily, while Quentin Richardson and Nate Robinson are watching from the sidelines and can come up to help defend at any time.
"You don't plan to let me score, right?" Lin Sen looked at Crawford and said with a smile.
"What do you think?" Crawford responded with a sneer.
Crawford didn't lose his defensive attention because he was talking to Lin Sen. He looked at Lin Sen with fierce eyes, and he wanted to put pressure on Lin Sen in every detail.
Lin Sen dribbled the ball continuously under the crotch.He moved forward a little bit tentatively, but Crawford didn't go up directly, he was worried that he would be directly used by Lin Sen if he went up.
He was very aware of Lin Sen's speed, so Crawford kept going backwards at a speed similar to Lin Sen's.
"You force it up."
"Hmph!" Crawford snorted coldly.He wasn't so stupid to push forward.
Just when Crawford snorted coldly, Lin Sen, who was advancing a little bit, jumped up without warning.
Crawford didn't expect at all that when he reacted quickly and rushed to interfere, he could only try to interfere with Lin Sen's line of sight instead of blocking the shot.
"Go in!"
Looking at the basket, Lin Sen confidently dialed the ball out. Lin Sen felt very good about this ball. Lin Sen is a person who believes in his own feelings, so he made such a decision.
Barkley looked at the ball flying to the basket, thinking in his heart that he must score and must score.
Lin Sen did not disappoint those who supported him. This time, he made a sudden jump shot and got into the basket steadily.
"I said I would score a goal." Lin Sen turned around and opened his arms.
"mvp!"
"mvp!"
"mvp!"
……
"Wood is too confident. But this is indeed a good shot. He didn't let those who were expecting to laugh at him succeed. He scored two three-pointers in a row, and this three-pointer was a direct response to Jamal, and it was far better than just now. Jamal's goal came even more arrogantly, but I think everyone will like this kind of Wood, even Knicks fans." Kenny Smith said with a smile.
Crawford took the serve unhappily.Lin Sen hit him twice in a row, and the one just now was the most direct humiliation to him, he must get another one.
After receiving David Lee's serve, Crawford quickly dribbled the ball across the half.
However, this time Lin Sen's defense was exceptionally tenacious. Even if he lost his position, he would recover his position because of the help of his teammates, while Crawford wanted to score one by himself.Even after Linsen lost his position, the Magic and other magicians came up to give the Knicks a chance to open up. Crawford did not choose to shoot.
Even though Isiah Thomas shouted to pass the ball off the court, Crawford still did not choose to pass the ball.
In the end, Crawford chose to break through and make an emergency stop, but Lin Sen did not lose his position and put a lot of pressure on Crawford. In the end, Crawford failed to make a shot.
Isiah Thomas on the sidelines shook his arm angrily. The team was already 16 points behind. Crawford had a good opportunity and didn't pass it on. Instead, he wanted to play alone. This made him very dissatisfied.
Eddie Griffin took the defensive rebound and handed it to Linsen immediately.The Magic immediately turned from defense to offense, and with the cheers of the audience, the morale of the two teams began to change.
Amidst the cheers of the fans, Lin Sen quickly dribbled the ball across halftime, Nate Robinson and Jamal Crawford.
"New York is planning to double-team Wood, but Wood is not someone who Jamal's teammates have absolutely good opportunities to pass the ball. Wood is a real point guard." Barkley said with a smile.
"Jared, get ready to play, and I'll leave that Wood Forest to you. Don't be fooled easily, you just need to use your height to put pressure on him." Isiah Thomas glanced at the field, turned and walked to Jeff In front of Rees.
"Understood." Jeffries stood up and walked towards the technical table.
"Oh, Isiah is ready to make substitution adjustments. Jared Jeffries is ready to play. Could it be used to defend Wood? It will be a disadvantage. Except for the height." Barkley said, watching Jeffries sitting in front of the technical table waiting for a dead ball to play.
"Charles, don't forget that he has height and wingspan." Kenny Smith reminded.
Crawford and Nate Robinson on the field also saw this. They knew that Jeffries must be playing for one of them, so they worked extra hard on defense.But Lin Sen didn't act recklessly by himself but handed the ball over.
In the end, Chris Webber hit a mid-range jumper, and the Magic also expanded the point difference to 18 points again.
Returning to the offensive end, the Knicks finally made an air cut layup by Nate Robinson. Although it was a two-pointer, it temporarily relieved the Knicks' hemorrhage, even if only temporarily.
One minute later, as Battier missed a three-pointer from the baseline, the two sides scrambled for rebounds and knocked the ball out of the baseline to usher in a dead ball opportunity.
Isiah Thomas simply replaced Nate Robinson and Balkman in addition to Quentin Richardson.
In this way, the Knicks' lineup except Jeffries and David Lee are all starters, and Stan Van Gundy replaced Chris Webber with Milicic, allowing Milicic and Eddie Griffin The partner was inside, and Howard was not replaced.
Not replacing Howard is not because Howard is not as good as Griffin, but to avoid being disrupted by the Knicks using foul tactics to disrupt the team's rhythm.
"Isiah replaced Nate, Quentin and Reynaldo, and Orlando also replaced Chris and Sam, and now there are six minutes to the game, and New York is still 6 points behind. If they If you can't launch a counterattack, then the game is over."
"New York doesn't have the capital to launch a counterattack. Isiah must be very disappointed that Stan didn't replace Dwight. This season, Darko's free throw percentage has increased to 73%, which is a lot better than last season. Now Isiah thinks There is no good effect to use foul tactics. Of course he can choose to try." Barkley said with a smile.
The referee awarded the ball to the Magic after watching the video. Lin Sen received the serve and did not rush to attack. He pulled his head to the top of the arc and looked up the timer.
With a point difference of 18 points, as long as you try to score a few more points to bring the point difference to more than 20 points, the game will be completely suspenseless.
Jeffries quickly stood on the three-point line, waiting for Lin Sen.
Like Crawford on Linson, he doesn't press directly.
His speed is not dominant at all, but his height and arm length are his biggest advantages.Lin Sen can be effectively interfered with without speed.
Lin Sen looked at Jeffries' defense, firmly controlled the ball and signaled Eddie Griffin to pull it out as a screen.
Seeing Lin Sen's sudden acceleration, Jeffries immediately moved his feet.
Bang!
Jeffries, who moved quickly, bumped into Eddie Griffin, who was pulled out to cover, and Lin Sen, who was defending him, took the opportunity to rush in.
Lin Sen, who rushed in, glanced at Jamal Crawford, who was actively defending, and made an emergency stop.
Seeing Lin Sen stop abruptly, Crawford immediately jumped up.He stretched his arms as far as possible, but Lin Sen didn't intend to make a shot himself. Instead, he turned a shot into a pass, and the ball was thrown directly at Artest, who was defended by Crawford.
Marbury's supplementary defense was also quick, but his supplementary defense also cost him Billups' defense. Artest quickly led the ball to Billups.
After Billups received the ball, he was in an unguarded position and made a very easy jumper.
"New York's defense is very active. But it didn't achieve any results. Instead, it made their lineup full of holes. I really don't know how to evaluate their defensive enthusiasm." Barkley shook his head and said, "20 points difference , this is a point difference that is infinitely close to garbage time."
The game continued, and the Knicks were struggling for the last time. After 2 minutes, the Knicks were still 20 points behind the Magic, and at this moment the Knicks' main lineup had been replaced.The Magic still put Howard off the court.
In the words of Kenny Smith, Stan Van Gundy is not going to give Isiah Thomas any illusions.
"Poor Isiah and his New York Knicks, even though the game is not over, they have become the object of national ridicule. Wood has not had many independent attacks in the past few minutes. Will it happen this time? If Orlando The best decision is to call a timeout and give up the game." Barkley said, looking at Isiah Thomas on the sidelines.
Jeffries stood in front of Lin Sen with open arms. After he came on the court, Lin Sen's autonomous attack decreased, which made him dare not relax at all. He didn't know when Lin Sen would come by himself.
His left shoulder sank sharply.At the same time, he quickly stepped out with his left foot, pointing directly at the left side of Jeffries' body.
"Finally I came by myself." Jeffries didn't have time to think about it, and immediately moved his footsteps while not forgetting to open his arms. The super long arms were his best defense.
Lin Sen patted the ball with his right hand.The ball passed through the crotch to the left hand side, and the body leaned to the left at the same time.
After colliding with Jeffries' body, Lin Sen took a small half step back. Seeing Lin Sen taking a step back, Jeffries quickly raised his hand without thinking.
However, when he raised his hand, Lin Sen, who had just taken a step back, suddenly gained speed, and at the same time, his left foot rushed towards the left side of his body again.
Jeffries wanted to take a step back to defend again, but Lin Sen had already passed him.
"Wood, Wood got rid of Jeffries' marking." With Kenny Smith's shout, Lin Sen made an emergency stop and jumped up.
Looking at the basket and throwing the ball directly, the ball passed through the basket a second later.
"Precise pull-up jump shot, 22 points difference, isn't Isiah ready to give up?" Barkley looked at Isiah Thomas on the sidelines, "If you don't give up, you may only get a bigger point difference."
It's not that Isiah Thomas didn't want to give up the game, but after thinking about it, he decided to wait, even though he himself knew that it was impossible to catch up to 5 points in just 20 minutes if he wanted to win.
However, back to the offensive end, the Knicks' offense still failed. Marbury's layup slipped out of the basket under the interference of Milicic, and Eddie Griffin firmly grasped the defensive rebound.
Lin Sen didn't go up to catch the ball, but ran directly to the frontcourt. Jeffries glanced at Lin Sen and immediately followed.
Eddie Griffin goes straight to Chauncey Billups.Billups took the ball and took it upfield.
"Wood didn't take the ball but gave it to Chauncey, and he didn't seem to have any intention of going up to catch the ball." Kenny Smith said with Linson.
At this moment, Lin Sen suddenly started, directly disrupting the Knicks' already terrible defense.
After entering the rotation, the defender of Linsen has changed from Jeffries to Jamal Crawford.
Billups glanced at Lin Sen who was leaning against Jamal Crawford, but Lin Sen did not reach out for the ball, but secretly gave a hint with his right hand.
Just a hint of the eye.Billups understood Lin Sen's thoughts.
And Jamal Crawford, who was close to Lin Sen, wanted to hang his whole body directly on Lin Sen.
"Don't stick to me so tightly, I don't like men, my wife will be angry." Lin Sen said with a smile.
Jamal Crawford behind him ignored Lin Sen, he just wanted to guard Lin Sen.
At this time, Lin Sen's shoulder, who was leaning on him, suddenly swayed to the left, and his right foot stepped on the left side.
Jamal Crawford immediately moved his foot, but just as Crawford moved his foot to his right.Lin Sen quickly withdrew his right foot.
Leaning directly against Crawford, Lin Sen quickly turned around in the opposite direction. Lin Sen's turn was very fast. When Crawford reacted, an acceleration directly cut into it.
"Wood got rid of Jamal!" Barkley yelled.
However, Lin Sen's throwing away of Crawford did not make the rest of the Knicks flustered, because Lin Sen did not run to the open position at the first time, but came directly to the inside. In most people's eyes, Lin Sen was a Going to pass through from the inside and completely throw off Crawford who is defending him.
Eddie Curry on the inside moved quickly, all he had to do was to block Lin Sen who wanted to pass through the inside.
Buy time for the Crawford defense.Eddie Curry thought well, but the fact was not what he thought.
Just when everyone thought that Linsen would use the cover of his inside teammates to throw off everyone and run to the other side to get the chance to catch the ball, Billups, who was holding the ball at about [-] degrees to the left of the three-point line, directly held the ball with both hands a push.
"Is this for Dwight?"
Many people think so, because Billups's ball looks like an alley-oop.
In their view, Lin Sen's running position was a screen for Howard, and the ball must be for Howard.
However, Howard is being blocked by Zach Randolph at the moment, and it is impossible to get the ball in the first place.
And Crawford, who was chasing up from behind, was also overjoyed, because Lin Sen hadn't completely shaken him off.
Just when everyone thought that Billups's alley-oop pass would end in a mistake, Lin Sen kicked off the ground.
"Oh my god! Is this ball for Wood?" Kenny Smith said as he watched the ball begin to fall.
Eddie Curry didn't expect Billups to pass the ball to Lin Sen in front of him.This is undoubtedly a contempt for Eddie Curry.
Eddie Curry raised his right hand to meet Lin Sen who jumped up, and he also jumped up. He wanted to press Lin Sen down with the ball.
However, Lin Sen's body was getting taller and taller, with his chest outstretched and his right hand straight out.
"It is indeed a pass to Wood! How will Wood handle it! Eddie's huge tonnage is in front of him." Barkley said, looking at Lin Sen in the air.
Lin Sen caught the ball passed by Billups with his right hand. Lin Sen didn't expect Eddie Curry to make up the defense so quickly. Looking at Eddie Curry in front of him, Lin Sen instantly had an idea.
"Get down!" Eddie Curry growled and slapped Lin Sen fiercely with his right hand.
Lin Sen didn't forcefully make a move, but quickly received the ball with his right hand when Eddie Curry slapped him.The whole person glides abruptly in the air.
Eddie Curry's right hand slapped into the air, and when everyone was amazed at Lin Sen's terrifying ability to stay in the air, Eddie Curry began to fall.
Lin Sen was still in the air, and the left side of his body collided with Eddie Curry.Grabs the ball with his right hand and throws it toward the basket.
At this moment, it was impossible for Eddie Curry to think about defending. He could only watch Lin Sen smash the ball over his head to the basket.
Bang!
Lin Sen grabbed the basket with his right hand, yanked hard and jumped down, putting his right hand to his ear.
"mvp!"
"mvp!"
"mvp!"
……
Uniform shouts of mvp filled the audience, and Lin Sen enjoyed his moment.
"I really didn't expect it. Wood and Chauncey will cooperate like this. This attack is too bold, but the result is good. Wood once again showed his amazing physical fitness. Let's look at the data just now." Kenny .Smith looked to the big screen.
"This ball is enough to secure the top ten ball list today. There is also a rumor that Wood will participate in this year's slam dunk contest. I don't know if this news is true or not. But I think David Stern will definitely welcome Wood to participate in the slam dunk contest."
"That's for sure. I almost fell asleep watching the slam dunk contest these years. If Wood participates, I will definitely have [-]% energy." Kenny Smith said with a smile.
The big screen immediately showed the data of Lin Sen's dunk just now. The jump height reached 85 centimeters and the airborne time was 0.34 seconds.
And Lin Sen's alley-oop also made Isiah Thomas completely resigned to his fate. Lin Sen, who played in the second half, was in great condition.
This is something he never expected before the game.He thought that Lin Sen would continue to slump, but he was overjoyed that Lin Sen didn't play in the first half. He really wanted to use this game to beat the No. [-] Magic in the Eastern Conference to redeem his recent bad luck.
But Lin Sen's appearance in the second half immediately shattered all his fantasies. Lin Sen was still in a slump, and he was completely in a 100% state. Isiah Thomas felt like crying.
"Isiah finally called a timeout, and the New York bench stood up. Obviously he was going to give up the game." Kenny Smith said, looking at the Knicks bench.
And Stan Van Gundy saw Isiah Thomas standing up the bench and knew that the Knicks were going to give up the game, so he also stood up the bench.
"Wood! Wood! Wood!"
Hearing the cheers from the audience, Lin Sen raised his hands above his head and clapped.
Carolina and Natalie Portman, who were sitting behind the magic bench, smiled. Lin Sen's poor state these days also made them very worried.
And Natalie Portman blamed herself even more after the morning's treatment, and now she was relieved to see Lin Sen playing so well.
Carolina seemed to sense Natalie Portman's thoughts, she held Natalie Portman's hand and patted it lightly.
"Wood is off the field. Wood only started playing in the second half of this game. He only played 15 minutes, but Wood's data is not inferior at all. Let's look at Wood's data." Barkley looked at the statistics.
“15分钟的出场时间,伍德就拿到了27分,而且仅仅投丢了11次出手中的1个球,超高的进攻效率,同时伍德还送出了8次助攻拿到了6个篮板和4次抢断。这是一个即使放到上场40分钟也相当出色的数据。”
"Isaiah obviously made the wrong note, and Wood's performance tonight also warned other teams that it is best to think clearly before defeating the Magic, otherwise they are likely to end up like New York." Kenny Smith said with a smile.
In the end, the Knicks' boastful battle ended with a 30-point defeat for the Knicks.Both Isiah Thomas and Jamal Crawford declined interviews with reporters after the game.
"Wood Comes Back Strongly" - this is the title of the homepage of "espn". The accompanying picture is the scene of Lin Sen dunking after a drift in the air. It's amazing.
Even when Lin Sen got such comprehensive data in 15 minutes, some people stood up and said that the Knicks were already a bad team. The victory over the Knicks is not worth mentioning, and it does not mean that Lin Sen's state has recovered.
However, Lin Sen did not respond positively, but flew to Indiana with the Orlando Magic team that night.
The Magic will usher in a game in Indiana Pacers' territory a day later, but Pacers leader Jermaine O'Neal failed to leave in the offseason.
After the start of the new season, the state was even worse than last season. Due to injuries, the average data per game dropped from nearly 20 points per game last season to 14 points per game this season, and the first game after Christmas was even worse. Injuried.
However, the Pacers' record has not been greatly affected. They are currently tied for eighth in the Eastern Conference with the Atlanta Hawks, and they are very hopeful to reach the playoffs this season.
The biggest reason for the Pacers to maintain their playoff hopes is Danny Granger and Mike Dunleavy, the son of Clippers coach Dunleavy.
The two can contribute 19.6 and 19.3 per game respectively this season, which is the biggest reliance for the Pacers to attack the city.
Mike Dunleavy is 2.06 tall and plays shooting guard and small forward, while Granger, who is 2.03, can play small forward and power forward. Now the two of them occupy the two positions of Pacers shooting guard and small forward.
The height of the two of them makes it difficult for other teams to defend, which is what Pacers coach O'Brien hopes.
The existence of Ron Artest and Sean Battier made the two positions of forward and guard the most feared by the Magic this season.And this game is another battle for Artest to return to his hometown.
If it weren't for his impulsive punching back then, perhaps Reggie Miller would not have retired with regret, and perhaps the Pacers would have become the championship that season.
But all this is only based on the fact that Artest has no impulse, but there is no if in the world.
Artest, who returned to Indiana, became the focus of the reporters, even though his chances of winning in the Magic this season are far less than in the Kings last season.
"I don't regret what's happened, I know I got love here and I took my love out. I'll always remember this place, but I'm a pro and now I'm an Orlando player, I will use all my abilities to defend Danny in the game." Artest said in an interview before the game.
As Artest said before the game, Granger's defense was particularly fierce in the game. Even if the Pacers fans who once loved him booed him, he did not change his defense.
And Stan Van Gundy in order to deal with the Pacers' lineup.Deliberately changed the starting lineup, Battier appeared in the starting lineup for the first time this season, and Billups sat on the bench.
After the start of the game, Danny Granger, who had an eye-catching performance this season and is very hopeful to compete for the Most Improved Player Award, only made 10 of 2 shots in the first half, and he looked particularly embarrassed in the game.
The Pacers' other offensive support this season, Mike Dunleavy, also performed poorly. Granger and Dunleavy were taken care of by Artest and Battier in the game.
Artest and Battier's two players with different defensive styles made Granger and Dunleavy very uncomfortable. Often they had just adapted to Artest's defense before Battier came.And Artest, who adapted to Battier's defense, came again.
It directly led to the poor performance of Dunleavy and Granger in the first half, and the Pacers fell behind the away Magic by a full 20 points at the end of the first half. In the end, the Pacers lost to the Magic at home by a full 40 points. huge difference in points.
At this time, Lindsay Lohan, who had received much attention a few days ago, left Orlando and returned to New York also had a result, because Lindsay Lohan left New York and flew back to Orlando accompanied by Amanda Seyfried.
And Amanda Seyfried was still staying at Lin Sen's villa that night, which caused the gossip media to gossip again, but for Orlando Multimedia, they really hope to see such a thing.
Because this represents the stability of the Linsen family, and the Linsen family will be able to perform even better on the court if they have no worries.
As expected by Orlando Multimedia, Lin Sen performed well in the next game.Lead the Magic all the way to win 14 consecutive victories.
Especially on January 1, it even completed a quasi-lore at the last moment to help the Magic defeat the Washington Wizards and complete their 13-game winning streak.
However, on the second day, January 1, the Magic's 14-game winning streak was ended, and they were still defeated by their opponents when they returned to the home court, the Waterhouse Center.
And it was not the top eight teams in the East and West that ended the Magic's 14-game winning streak, but the Sacramento Kings, which ranked third from the bottom in the West.
The loss of this game, in addition to the fact that the Magic had a physical problem in the second half of the game because of the back-to-back first game and the Washington Wizards fought fiercely until the last 2 minutes.
Even though Lin Sen scored the highest score of 33 points in the game, it did not help the Magic to persist to the end, because Turkoglu and Azubuike performed so well in this game.
Hedo Turkoglu, who returned to the Waterhouse Center for the first time after leaving in the summer, scored his first triple-double of the season.
The audience took 26 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists.It is one of the two major contributors to the King's victory, and the other major contributor is Kelanna Azubuike who joined the Magic from NBDL in the middle of last season and quickly became the starter and won the love of Magic fans.
In this game, Azubuike scored 6 three-pointers and scored 33 points second only to Linsen's 28 points. It was his and Turkoglu's outstanding performance that helped the Kings win victory.
However, the team did not have any emotions when they lost to the Kings. After all, they lost to Turkoglu and Azubuike.
After the game, the Magic team even invited Turkoglu and Azubuike to have a good get together.
The next day Lin Sen asked for leave without training.Instead, he accompanied Natalie Portman and Lindsay Lohan to the best hospital in Orlando for the last pregnancy test. Lin Sen was getting closer and closer to becoming a father.
