legendary point guard
Chapter 412 Dad V587
"Rajon's pass, that's awesome, how he got there." Hoffman couldn't help but admire.
Rondo's pass penetrated the Magic's defense just right, cut Leon Bowie easily received the ball and sent the ball to the hoop before Eddie Griffin could defend him.
"It's really good. Rajon's defense is also very good. His shortcoming is offense. No matter whether the offense can be improved or not, at least he is enough to meet Boston's requirements at the point guard position." Bill Walton said.
Hoffman turned his head to look at Bill Wharton and said with a smile: "Bill, just now Rajon successfully forced Wood to pass the ball, and now he sent a wonderful pass under Wood's defense. How do you think our father-to-be, Wood, will respond? A good pass or attack yourself, I bet Wood will attack himself."
Bill Wharton gave Hoffman a blank look: "What do you think?"
Lin Sen stopped and quietly looked at Rajon Rondo who was defending him.
The successful defense just now boosted Rondo's confidence a lot. When Lin Sen brought the ball to the frontcourt, Rondo immediately pushed forward with full momentum.
He knew that once he gave Lin Sen the initiative, he would put himself in a passive position, which meant that he might fail to defend at any time.
So he had to make Lin Sen feel the pressure all the time, and the oversized palm and long arm immediately stuck to Lin Sen.
"Oh, Rajon is still using the last defensive method. He is trying to put pressure on Wood. How will Wood deal with it this time or pass the ball?" Hoffman said looking at the field.
Bang! !
Lin Sen's body exerted strength, and hit Rondo's chest with the left side of his body.
Under the collision, Rondo stepped back a little, which gave Lin Sen a gap.
Just when Rajon Rondo backed up a little, Lin Sen made a half-turn and the ball passed under his crotch.
Seeing Lin Sen's movements, Rondo immediately adjusted his pace. He didn't want Lin Sen to speed up and cut in.
Although he has always had confidence in his speed, he still has no confidence compared to Lin Sen.
And once he was rushed over, it meant complete passiveness. However, Lin Sen didn't think so much about Rajon Rondo.
Sweeping Rondo's defensive action, Lin Sen kicked off the ground without even thinking about it.
"oh, wood completely ignored Rajon in front of him, he jumped straight out of the three point line, crazy Wood, but that's his defense, Rajon tried to interfere, but he can only pray that Wood's own hands don't feel good .” Bill Walton said, looking at the field.
Bill Walton's voice fell, and the ball that flew past Rondo's fingers had already entered the basket cleanly.
"Wood! Wood! Wood!"
The Magic fans in the center of the water house immediately cheered crazily, and the camera of the live broadcaster moved from Lin Sen who was celebrating a three-pointer to the sidelines.
"Haha, what did we see? A picture, which actually begged Wood to let his children play for the Magic." Bill Wharton laughed as he looked at the picture on the big screen.
"Then other teams will be very depressed, the hearts of Orlando fans are too greedy." Hoffman said with a smile.
"I thought you were going to say that Wood's kid might be the same as MJ's kid, but even so I can guarantee that Wood's kid will get Wood's status on the court in Hollywood.
I've heard a lot of businessmen and producers practice Wood and Natalie's agents trying to sign their kids. "
What Bill Wharton said was not false at all, in fact it was true.
Leon Bowie sent the ball to Rajon Rondo, and the Celtics' offense started immediately. Linson's three-pointer just now helped the Magic pull the lead to four points.
Stan Van Gundy looked at Lin Sen who was returning to defense with a smile on the field. Lin Sen had completely grown into someone he could trust this season.
Even though Lin Sen had been in a slump some time ago, Stan Van Gundy always believed that Lin Sen would adjust. In fact, he was right. There were objective reasons for Lin Sen's slump.
At the moment, the Celtics are most sure of attacking Paul Pierce. With the help of a screen, Paul Pierce got rid of Sean Battier's defense and received a pass from Rondo.
Lin Sen immediately chose to leave Rajon Rondo in front of Pierce.
In addition to actively defending to avoid Pierce's offense, Rondo's lack of offensive ability allows him to rest assured to defend Pierce.
When Pierce saw Lin Sen coming to defend him, he didn't have any other thoughts. He leaned towards Lin Sen, just like Lin Sen was more cheerful when he turned sideways.
Even though he knew that Pierce was very strong, Lin Sen still had no intention of backing down, and directly faced Pierce.
Bang!
Pierce slammed heavily into Lin Sen's chest, and Lin Sen couldn't help but take a half step back after the two hit each other.
Lin Sen secretly rejoiced that he was right in exercising his strength in the summer, otherwise he would definitely be pushed away by Pierce at this moment.
Before Pierce could react, Lin Sen pressed forward directly.
Lin Sen was only knocked away a little and was forced to come up immediately, which made Pierce feel a little surprised.
Pierce's second impact came quickly, and there was another muffled sound. Lin Sen was pushed away by the impact again, but Lin Sen's tenacity completely exceeded everyone's expectations.
"Wood is so tenacious. I didn't expect him to choose a hard top pp. The power of PP is at the top level at the small forward position. Wood actually blocked twice in a row, but I don't want to praise Wood, because in my opinion he is so His defense is irrational, what the Magic need more is his offense than his defense, let alone a defense that consumes a lot of energy."
What Hoffman said was right. It was exactly what Stan Van Gundy was thinking. He gestured towards the field, and Sean Battier on the other side immediately double-teamed him. Rondo was left alone in the third On the right side of the line, there is no Magic defender within two meters of him.
Hitting Lin Sen again, Pierce took a step back to connect his crotch and then jumped up with a backward lean.
His shot feels good, but Lin Sen is like a spring, and he completes the take-off almost instantly.
The height of Lin Sen, who is only 191, surprised Pierce. In order to avoid Lin Sen's block, Pierce increased the arc.
This heightening also changed his shot feeling. In the end, although he avoided Lin Sen's block, he failed to score.
The ball bounced off the edge of the rim, and Eddie Griffin jumped up first, grabbing the defensive rebound before Leon Bowie.
"Wood!" Eddie Griffin passed the ball directly to Lin Sen.
Steadily catching the ball, Lin Sen was not in a hurry to attack, and slowly dribbled the ball across the half court. After halftime, all the Magic players had settled down.
With a gesture from Lin Sen, the team ran continuously, and Rondo who was defending him became Paul Pierce who he was defending just now.
Although Paul Pierce was stronger and taller, Lin Sen felt relaxed. After all, Rondo's speed and hands were too fast.
"The matchup between Wood and pp, just now pp missed a shot under Wood's defense, so he must really want to defend Wood this time, but I think at this moment Doug has the same idea as Stan just now, and he must not want to see it PP's physical energy is consumed on the defensive end, especially defending Wood." Bill Wharton said with a smile.
"PP, I'm going to be a father, let me go." Lin Sen said with a smile while dribbling the ball.
"Okay, I'll guard you, and when I see your child later, tell him that his father's underwear is gone." Paul Pierce responded with a smile.
"You really let me down, I despise you instead of my child." Lin Sen was still talking one second, and his body moved the next second.
The whole person rushed directly to the right side of Pierce's body with the ball.
"You bastard!" Pierce cursed in a low voice, with his arms outstretched and his chest puffed out with quick lateral steps.
Use your body to entangle Lin Sen, and then force Lin Sen to slow down.
Pierce's defensive method is also the choice of many people to defend Lin Sen, seeing that Pierce's body is about to collide.
Lin Sen abruptly stopped his sprinting steps, and pulled the ball with his left foot as the pivot with his right hand.
Bang!
The left side of Lin Sen's body collided with Pierce's chest.
"**!" Pierce cursed in a low voice, and quickly moved to the right, trying to block Lin Sen's ball and turn around.
However, just as he turned around, Lin Sen pulled back again.
Pierce hated Linsen's feint, but at this moment he had to forcefully adjust his steps again.
However, after Lin Sen made another adjustment, he slapped the ball with his right hand, and the ball hit the ground in the gap between the two and then came to his left hand.
After taking a slight step back to catch the ball with his left hand, Lin Sen rushed forward with his right foot.
Two consecutive turns had exhausted Pierce's reaction, and when he realized that Lin Sen had changed direction, he could only be powerless.
Pierce just stretched out his hand subconsciously, watching Lin Sen rush into the inside line.
Leaving Pierce behind, Lin Sen had a lot of choices. After glancing at Leon Bowie who was standing inside, Lin Sen rushed over.
"Wood, two fake moves in a row are really beautiful, there is no stagnation at all, pp has tried his best." Hoffman sighed.
Leon Bowie also played for the Cavaliers last season. Although he was only a slapped substitute, he was very impressed with Linsen's ability to attack the basket.
Without fear, Lin Sen adjusted his steps, stepped heavily on the floor with his left foot, and rose into the air.
He lifted the ball high with his right hand and slammed it behind his head. His body was fully opened in the air, and he straightened his chest like a fully drawn bow and flew towards the basket.
Lin Sen's body was getting taller and taller, and Leon Bowie could barely stand up his arms to block it.
Bang!
The bodies of the two collided in the air, and Leon Bowie's right hand hit Lin Sen's arm.
beep!
With the sound of the whistle, Lin Sen's right hand swayed over Leon Bowie's head and smashed the ball heavily towards the basket.
"Bang!"
Under Lin Sen's pull, the basket groaned and groaned, which was broadcast throughout the audience through the loudspeaker.
Nearly [-] Magic fans in the center of the water house burst into crazy shouts.
The representatives of the major magazines who participated in the bidding this afternoon did not choose the box but chose the sidelines. At this moment, they felt the madness in the center of the water house.
Especially those representatives who didn't watch basketball much before felt the charm of basketball.
"Leon's active defense was rewarded with an additional penalty. In fact, when he saw Wood rushing in, he should have chosen to avoid rather than defend." Bill Wharton joked.
Enjoying the cheers of the audience, Lin Sen walked to the free throw line, and the referee Crawford slapped the ball to Lin Sen.
"Mvp! Mvp! Mvp!"
"Mvp! Mvp! Mvp!"
Amidst the cheers of MVP, Lin Sen easily threw the ball.
"Easy penalty hit, Wood completed 2+1, except for the first time he faced Rajon's defense and chose to pass the ball after playing, Wood made a three-pointer and a 2+1, scoring six points in a row to help Orlando take the lead The advantage expanded to 7 points, and I already felt that Doug couldn't sit still."
"Yes, maybe Doug has remembered that night at the beginning of this season that made him and Boston unforgettable." Bill Wharton said with a smile.
Doug Rivers on the sidelines frowned, being 7 points behind made him have to make some changes in advance: "Kg, Tony is ready to play!"
"Oh, Doug called KG and Tony up, obviously he's going to make a substitution." Bill Wharton said looking at the sidelines.
Returning to the offensive end, Boston Celtics Pierce directly asked for the ball, and Rondo passed the ball without any objection.
Sean Battier, who was in charge of defending Pierce, posted it up immediately. Facing Battier's defense, Pierce didn't hit directly with his back like he just hit Linsen.
Instead, he made a three-threat move, a change of direction, a feint with his upper body, and then a step back and a jumper.
Battier's defense is in place, but in the face of the signature moves of a superstar like Pierce, Battier can only do his best.
But this time Battier's blindfolding method was not successful, and Pierce's shot went steadily into the basket.
Seeing Pierce score, Rivers was relieved.
Pierce swung his fist, glanced at Lin Sen and ran to the backcourt.
"This is pp, the truth on the court. Although Sean's defense is in place, he is still a little bit worse." Hoffman sighed.
Seeing Lin Sen dribble the ball past halftime, Rondo pushed forward again. This time Lin Sen still didn't pass the ball, but directly met Rondo's defense.
"Is Wood still planning to come by himself? He seems to be making a gesture, and I don't know what the gesture means." Bill Wharton looked at Lin Sen on the field and said.
Rondo was very unwilling. His defense was even harder than at the beginning, but Lin Sen kept pushing Rondo to the three-point line.
Stepping back a little, Lin Sen showed everyone his skillful dribbling.
The ball seemed to be integrated with Lin Sen, shuttling back and forth under his control.
Eddie Griffin on the inside pulled to the mid-range position, and the others also pulled away. It gave people the feeling that Lin Sen was still planning to play singles by himself, which put a lot of pressure on Rondo.
The whole person's nerves were tense, and his eyes were fixed on Lin Sen's waist and abdomen.
Snapped!
Lin Sen slapped the ball hard, and Rondo felt that Lin Sen was making a move.
"Wood charged!" Bill Wharton shouted loudly, and Rondo was also preparing to retreat, but this time he kept his defensive focus at all times, in case Lin Sen made a fake move.
At this moment, Lin Sen actually withdrew his momentum and jumped up in front of him again.
"Wood, Wood chose to force a jump shot again, is there?" Hoffman shouted, but Lin Sen didn't shoot, but threw the ball directly to the inside with both hands.
The ball went straight to the inside like a cannonball out of the chamber, and Eddie Griffin, who was pulled to the mid-range position, just dodged to get out of Leon Bowen's body.
"Oh, Wood turned out to pass the ball, and Eddie cut in to get the ball."
In Bill Wharton's voice, Eddie Griffin got Linsen's pass, and he pressed the ball heavily into the basket with both hands without defense.
"We were all cheated." Hoffman said with a smile as he looked at Lin Sen and Eddie Griffin, who were bouncing their chests and celebrating.
"Obviously yes, this is Wood, and many of his passes come from this." Bill Wharton continued.
Doug Rivers made a timeout gesture at the referee, and Crawford immediately blew the whistle in his mouth to signal the Celtics to request a short timeout of 20 seconds.
"Doug finally requested a timeout. Orlando led by 7 points. There are still 6 minutes before the end of the first half. After the timeout, Doug is expected to change to the strongest defensive lineup."
Just like Hoffman said, after a short 20-second pause, Doug Rivers made a substitution.
The inside line has become the strongest defensive lineup of Kendrick Perkins and Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce is still on the front line, and Tony Allen is replaced at the back line.
With the addition of Rajon Rondo, the defensive ability of the Celtics lineup is particularly terrifying, and look at James Posey and Matt Barnes sitting on the bench. The coaches of teams with excellent defensive players at the forward position are particularly envious.
The Magic also made substitutions. Battier and Hill were replaced by Artest and Billups respectively, and inside Chris Webber was replaced by Milicic.
After the timeout, the Celtics' defense against Linsen became more stringent. Tony Allen wanted to stick to Linsen all the time. Once the ball left Linsen, he would block Linsen's receiving line.
Others blocked Lin Sen's running position at any time. This kind of defense prevented Lin Sen from finding a good offensive opportunity in the next 2 minutes, and the only shot he made was a basket.
The Magic only scored a high jumper from Billups in 2 minutes, while Boston was just the opposite. They seized the opportunity of the Magic's attack being contained and took the opportunity to counterattack.
Within 2 minutes, Pierce and Garnett scored three goals. The Celtics, who were still 7 points behind before the timeout, quickly chased the point difference to only 3 points.
Stan Van Gundy played the role of Doug Rivers just now. He didn't wait too much but directly requested a long timeout.
"The 2 minutes just told everyone that tough defense is the most important weapon to win the game. Boston stopped Orlando on the basis of their defense. I don't know how Stan will adjust. I guess Dwight will play. These 2 minutes are not good for the kg limit, which is why Orlando is at a disadvantage." Bill Wharton said.
"I need cover!" Panting heavily, Lin Sen took a sip of Gatorade.
Stan Van Gundy nodded: "Give me Wood's cover, Dwight is going to replace Eddie, Ron, your defense needs to be more active, and the offensive end also needs to put pressure on them. Chauncey, you and Wood exchange the ball... ..."
The long timeout ended quickly, and players from both sides returned to the field. Doc Rivers did not replace Ray Allen, who had a better offense, but continued to retain Tony, who had defended Linsen well for just 2 minutes. Allen.
"I don't know what changes Orlando has made." Hoffman said looking at the field.
"Chauncey has the ball, Wood doesn't have the ball, and Wood without the ball has just been restricted by Boston." Bill Walton said looking at the court.
Milicic on the inside quickly pulled out, and Lin Sen also ran towards Milicic.
Bang!
With a cover, Lin Sen temporarily threw off Tony Allen.
Without stopping for a moment, Lin Sen went back to the top of the arc at the fastest speed.
Billups, who was holding the ball, passed the ball over immediately, and Rajon Rondo on the other side immediately defended him.
At the same time as he was catching the ball, Lin Sen abruptly stopped on his upper body, shook his hands and raised the ball, and Rajon Rondo jumped up subconsciously.
Seeing Rondo jumping up, Lin Sen quickly cut the ball in with one hand and one bow.
The Celtics' defense was really good. After Rondo lost the ability to defend Linsen in the first place, Tony Allen, who bypassed Milicic's cover on the other side, pounced on Linsen again.
Facing Tony Allen who was charging up again, Lin Sen suddenly stopped and changed direction.
Tony Allen's center of gravity followed Lin Sen's change of direction to make a defensive change. With another start and acceleration, Lin Sen threw off Tony Allen's supplementary defense and went inside.
At this time, the Celtics only had Lin Sen's big brother, KG, under the basket. Garnett's iconic cold expression put a lot of pressure on the offensive players, but Lin Sen had long been familiar with Garnett, so he was not added. Nate's expression was frightened, but he quickly made a choice in his mind.
Garnett looked at Lin Sen who was rushing towards him at high speed, let out a low growl, and stood above Lin Sen's offensive line with his arms raised high.
On the court, he doesn't show any affection for Lin Sen. He still remembers the scene of being defeated by Lin Sen in Boston last time. For him, that time was a complete failure.
The two were getting closer and closer, Lin Sen made a sudden change of direction and then stopped suddenly, with the shaking of his upper body, he swung the ball with both hands.
Garnett jumped up. Although he was very experienced, Lin Sen was not as immature as he was at his age. Facing Garnett's jump, Lin Sen jumped up and raised the ball high with both hands.
Garnett's right arm was sealed, but Lin Sen was not afraid. This was the moment he was waiting for.
The ball that went out was taken back by Lin Sen, but this time Lin Sen did not choose to change hands, but chose a low hand, and greeted his own arm.
As soon as the ball left his hand, Garnett hit Lin Sen's arm with his outstretched right hand to block the shot.
"Damn it!" Doug Rivers stomped his feet fiercely off the court. Garnett committed two fouls in the first quarter, and this time he fouled three times. There are nearly 4 minutes left at the end of the game.
If there is another foul in the next half, it will be difficult to play in the second half, and if Garnett does not play, it will be a huge blow to Boston.
The basketball flew towards the backboard, and Lin Sen lost his center of gravity and fell to the floor.
Bang!
Under self-protection, Lin Sen's butt touched the ground first.
Lin Sen's shot hit the backboard and fell into the basket, and the audience cheered wildly again.
"Yes!"
Lin Sen clenched his fists in celebration, the whole person sat on the floor and slid more than one meter away.
Garnett glared at Lin Sen on the floor, obviously he was very annoyed at Lin Sen's tricking him into fouling, but now he couldn't change the fact.
"Wood caused kg's foul and also hit the ball. Wood's second two plus one in this quarter, the key is that kg got the third foul on his back, which is fatal for Boston." Hoffman looked at the crowd The statistics on the screen said.
"You cunning guy, I won't forgive you." Garnett glared at Lin Sen and said viciously.
"I didn't let you thug." Lin Sen ignored Garnett's glare and walked to the free throw line.
"Haha, Wood is so smart, I don't know how kg will adjust next. He is an old player and should know how to adjust himself. However, the impact of three fouls on him is still not small. Orlando should seize this opportunity to hit the inside." Bill Walton looked at the field and said.
After taking the ball from Crawford, Lin Sen threw the ball amidst the cheers of the audience.
The ball got into the basket steadily again. Linsen 2+1 not only stabilized the unfavorable situation of the Magic in the past 2 minutes, but also helped the Magic to regain the point difference to four points.
Of course, what is more important to the Magic is that Garnett had three fouls on his back, and another Celtics defensive gate Kendrick Perkins also had three fouls on his back.
If the Celtics still have a strong rotation on the outside, then the inside is their fatal weakness. During the offseason, Danny Ainge and Doug Rivers have been trying to strengthen the inside, and then they have been kept by other players. The team robbed them, and Eddie Griffin made them regret the most.
In the end, apart from Leon Bowie and Pollard, the former Super Kings bench bandit, only one Cato was reinforced. However, Cato was injured in the game against the Bucks a few days ago, so he was unable to play today due to a knee injury. .
Rondo took possession of the ball and came to the frontcourt. Instead of organizing the team's offense, he handed the ball to Pierce again.
Without the ball, Rondo once again enjoyed the unattended treatment. Lin Sen left Rondo and was ready to double-team Pierce at any time.
However, Pierce did not have the idea of one-on-one offensive and defensive drills with Artest. After a simple confrontation, he hoisted the ball into the interior.
After Garnett on the inside received the ball, Milicic, who was in charge of defending him, immediately stuck to Garnett's back tightly.
"Doug must really hope that Rajon has a shot, look at his position." Bill Walton said with a smile.
Just at this time, Rajon Rondo, who was in an absolutely open position at the top of the arc, suddenly started, which made Lin Sen, who was just about to return to his original position, completely unprepared.
When Lin Sen was about to chase and defend, Rondo had already cut in from the middle.
Garnett, who was relying on Milicic on his back, turned around halfway and sent the ball with his right hand.
Rajon Rondo, who cut in, threw the ball directly to the basket after receiving the ball, and Howard, who was defending from the other side of the basket, was still a bit slower.
The ball flew high over Howard's fingers and flew to the backboard. After a rebound, the ball got into the basket.
"Damn it!" Lin Sen waved his hand dejectedly. He didn't expect that Rondo would be given a chance because of his missed defense.
"Bill, you just finished talking about Rajon and scored a goal, haha." Hoffman turned to look at Bill Wharton and said with a smile.
Bill Wharton was depressed for a while, but it was true.
Rondo's goal this time also made Lin Sen dare not let him go too much. After all, although Rondo has no ability to be lazy, he is fast and can cut in at any time.
Linsen didn't go up to catch the ball, and Milicic sent the ball to Billups.
Billups drives upfield after receiving the ball, while Linson runs upfield from the other side.
Lin Sen without the ball made the Celtics' defense even more tense, because Lin Sen can run very well, but Tony Allen still wanted to block Lin Sen's receiving line to defend Lin Sen.
Lin Sen didn't speed up but let Tony Allen stick to him. Lin Sen stood one step inside the 45-degree three-point line on the right.
"Chauncey held the ball, and Wood stepped inside the three-point line to reach out for the ball with Tony on his shoulders, but the chance of catching the ball is not good, and it is likely to be cut off." Hoffman said looking at the field.
Billups didn't pass the ball directly, but it wasn't that he didn't want to pass, but Lin Sen's gesture was not passing the ball at this moment.
Looking at Rajon Rondo who was defending himself, Billups made a gesture of pulling out to cover Milicic inside.
Milicic immediately ran to the left three-point line. Milicic's offensive foul was not comparable to Howard's, so Garnett followed immediately, and Howard on the other side glanced at Perkins and ran to High post, but he ran to the high post on the right.
Almost at the same time as Howard moved to the high position, Lin Sen, who was leaning on Tony Allen, turned and swayed to the right, and Tony Allen moved his feet immediately.
While Tony Allen was moving his feet, Lin Sen quickly turned to the left, and immediately accelerated after turning around.
Tony Allen wanted to reach out and grab Lin Sen's jersey, but he couldn't do this, so he gritted his teeth and turned around to chase after him.
Bang!
Tony Allen crashed into a person, and this person was Howard who was pulled out as a cover.
Billups on the other side also used Milicic's cover to get rid of Rondo, and Garnett immediately threw Milicic away to block Billups.
Lin Sen, who was cutting in from the other side, had already accelerated away from Perkins. Billups saw Lin Sen coming around and sent the ball out one by one.
The ball passed through Garnett's crotch and bounced into the inside line. After running to the inside line, Lin Sen comfortably caught the ball and flicked the ball with his left hand, and the ball immediately went into the basket.
"Wood's goal was too easy. There was no one in Boston's basket, which completely left Wood with a big gap. Of course, this goal was due to Orlando's running screen. The double screens on both sides made Wood's easy goal. Ball." Hoffman commented.
The game continued, and the non-stop tactics and coordination of the Magic made the Celtics' defense extremely uncomfortable, especially when the two insiders all faced three fouls, they did not dare to attack easily and could only maintain deterrence. Deterrence is clearly far less useful than true defense.
With 1 minute left before the end of the first half, the Magic extended their lead to 8 points.
The increased defensive pressure on the inside has also brought huge defensive pressure to the Celtics outside.
Even if the Celtics did a good job of defending Lin Sen, Lin Sen scored 16 points in this quarter.
"Wood has completely become the role of shooting guard in the past few minutes. Running without the ball has too much restraint on Boston's defense. Wood is another screen."
Hoffman changed the subject, and saw that Lin Sen on the field threw off Rondo's defense and reached the top of the arc, and the ball in Billups' hands flew over immediately.
When Lin Sen received the ball, he made another false move, but Ray Allen, who switched defenses, did not hesitate.
Seeing that Ray Allen didn't hesitate, Lin Sen didn't care. After a tentative step, he jumped up directly.
"Wood again? A three-pointer!" Bill Wharton shouted.
"It misses the ball," Hoffman said, looking at the arc of the basketball.
"Oh, it's not a shot, it's an alley-oop. Dwight, who just screened for Wood, jumped down!" Bill Wharton watched as Howard rushed to the inside and jumped up.
Howard greeted the ball from Lin Sen with both hands, and Perkins on the inside looked at Howard who was getting closer and did not choose to dodge but chose to jump up.
Doug Rivers off the court saw this scene and couldn't help shouting at the court, he didn't expect Perkins to be able to defend the ball, not to mention Howard had already taken off completely, as long as Perkins took off and defended perfectly* * Called a foul.
But Perkins has already jumped up, and his bounce is completely incomparable with Howard. He can only rely on his strong body weight to build a flesh wall.
Howard didn't expect that Perkins would be able to defend. He firmly grasped Lin Sen's pass with both hands, and flew towards Perkins without any dodge.
Bang!
The two collided, and Howard, who had an absolute advantage in bouncing, felt like he was about to be knocked into the air, but he still smashed the ball to the basket behind Perkins desperately with both hands.
Crawford's whistle sounded again, and Doc Rivers cursed fiercely, but it didn't help.
And Perkins, who was blown for a blocking foul, couldn't block Howard's goal. Howard dunked the ball into the basket on Perkins' forehead.
Howard, who was holding the basket, yanked his hands hard, and Perkins staggered to the ground and almost fell.
Roar!
Jumping down, Howard beat his chest fiercely and roared.
"Dwight, well done, well done!" Lin Sen rushed up and punched Howard in the chest.
"Boston is in trouble. Kendrick fouled four times." Hoffman said as he watched Perkins walk to the sidelines in the anger of Doc Rivers. The fans in the water house center cheered Perkins fate.
"Kk, Nata's special situation may not be suitable for a normal delivery. This is not a good sign. It is best to let Wood come over. We may have a caesarean section. If that is the case, we need his signature." Nemia, Orlando Hospital, Florida. Jerome glanced at Natalie Portman and Carolina who were screaming in pain and said.
The cry of Natalie Portman in the delivery room made Carolina feel distressed for a while. The pain that was not so painful at first intensified sharply during this period of time. Drenched in sweat, trembling with pain, Carolina felt particularly distressed.
"I'll call him right away." Carolina nodded. She didn't know if Lin Sen was having an intermission at the moment, but she was ready to call Otis Smith if Lin Sen couldn't get through. . (To be continued.)
Rondo's pass penetrated the Magic's defense just right, cut Leon Bowie easily received the ball and sent the ball to the hoop before Eddie Griffin could defend him.
"It's really good. Rajon's defense is also very good. His shortcoming is offense. No matter whether the offense can be improved or not, at least he is enough to meet Boston's requirements at the point guard position." Bill Walton said.
Hoffman turned his head to look at Bill Wharton and said with a smile: "Bill, just now Rajon successfully forced Wood to pass the ball, and now he sent a wonderful pass under Wood's defense. How do you think our father-to-be, Wood, will respond? A good pass or attack yourself, I bet Wood will attack himself."
Bill Wharton gave Hoffman a blank look: "What do you think?"
Lin Sen stopped and quietly looked at Rajon Rondo who was defending him.
The successful defense just now boosted Rondo's confidence a lot. When Lin Sen brought the ball to the frontcourt, Rondo immediately pushed forward with full momentum.
He knew that once he gave Lin Sen the initiative, he would put himself in a passive position, which meant that he might fail to defend at any time.
So he had to make Lin Sen feel the pressure all the time, and the oversized palm and long arm immediately stuck to Lin Sen.
"Oh, Rajon is still using the last defensive method. He is trying to put pressure on Wood. How will Wood deal with it this time or pass the ball?" Hoffman said looking at the field.
Bang! !
Lin Sen's body exerted strength, and hit Rondo's chest with the left side of his body.
Under the collision, Rondo stepped back a little, which gave Lin Sen a gap.
Just when Rajon Rondo backed up a little, Lin Sen made a half-turn and the ball passed under his crotch.
Seeing Lin Sen's movements, Rondo immediately adjusted his pace. He didn't want Lin Sen to speed up and cut in.
Although he has always had confidence in his speed, he still has no confidence compared to Lin Sen.
And once he was rushed over, it meant complete passiveness. However, Lin Sen didn't think so much about Rajon Rondo.
Sweeping Rondo's defensive action, Lin Sen kicked off the ground without even thinking about it.
"oh, wood completely ignored Rajon in front of him, he jumped straight out of the three point line, crazy Wood, but that's his defense, Rajon tried to interfere, but he can only pray that Wood's own hands don't feel good .” Bill Walton said, looking at the field.
Bill Walton's voice fell, and the ball that flew past Rondo's fingers had already entered the basket cleanly.
"Wood! Wood! Wood!"
The Magic fans in the center of the water house immediately cheered crazily, and the camera of the live broadcaster moved from Lin Sen who was celebrating a three-pointer to the sidelines.
"Haha, what did we see? A picture, which actually begged Wood to let his children play for the Magic." Bill Wharton laughed as he looked at the picture on the big screen.
"Then other teams will be very depressed, the hearts of Orlando fans are too greedy." Hoffman said with a smile.
"I thought you were going to say that Wood's kid might be the same as MJ's kid, but even so I can guarantee that Wood's kid will get Wood's status on the court in Hollywood.
I've heard a lot of businessmen and producers practice Wood and Natalie's agents trying to sign their kids. "
What Bill Wharton said was not false at all, in fact it was true.
Leon Bowie sent the ball to Rajon Rondo, and the Celtics' offense started immediately. Linson's three-pointer just now helped the Magic pull the lead to four points.
Stan Van Gundy looked at Lin Sen who was returning to defense with a smile on the field. Lin Sen had completely grown into someone he could trust this season.
Even though Lin Sen had been in a slump some time ago, Stan Van Gundy always believed that Lin Sen would adjust. In fact, he was right. There were objective reasons for Lin Sen's slump.
At the moment, the Celtics are most sure of attacking Paul Pierce. With the help of a screen, Paul Pierce got rid of Sean Battier's defense and received a pass from Rondo.
Lin Sen immediately chose to leave Rajon Rondo in front of Pierce.
In addition to actively defending to avoid Pierce's offense, Rondo's lack of offensive ability allows him to rest assured to defend Pierce.
When Pierce saw Lin Sen coming to defend him, he didn't have any other thoughts. He leaned towards Lin Sen, just like Lin Sen was more cheerful when he turned sideways.
Even though he knew that Pierce was very strong, Lin Sen still had no intention of backing down, and directly faced Pierce.
Bang!
Pierce slammed heavily into Lin Sen's chest, and Lin Sen couldn't help but take a half step back after the two hit each other.
Lin Sen secretly rejoiced that he was right in exercising his strength in the summer, otherwise he would definitely be pushed away by Pierce at this moment.
Before Pierce could react, Lin Sen pressed forward directly.
Lin Sen was only knocked away a little and was forced to come up immediately, which made Pierce feel a little surprised.
Pierce's second impact came quickly, and there was another muffled sound. Lin Sen was pushed away by the impact again, but Lin Sen's tenacity completely exceeded everyone's expectations.
"Wood is so tenacious. I didn't expect him to choose a hard top pp. The power of PP is at the top level at the small forward position. Wood actually blocked twice in a row, but I don't want to praise Wood, because in my opinion he is so His defense is irrational, what the Magic need more is his offense than his defense, let alone a defense that consumes a lot of energy."
What Hoffman said was right. It was exactly what Stan Van Gundy was thinking. He gestured towards the field, and Sean Battier on the other side immediately double-teamed him. Rondo was left alone in the third On the right side of the line, there is no Magic defender within two meters of him.
Hitting Lin Sen again, Pierce took a step back to connect his crotch and then jumped up with a backward lean.
His shot feels good, but Lin Sen is like a spring, and he completes the take-off almost instantly.
The height of Lin Sen, who is only 191, surprised Pierce. In order to avoid Lin Sen's block, Pierce increased the arc.
This heightening also changed his shot feeling. In the end, although he avoided Lin Sen's block, he failed to score.
The ball bounced off the edge of the rim, and Eddie Griffin jumped up first, grabbing the defensive rebound before Leon Bowie.
"Wood!" Eddie Griffin passed the ball directly to Lin Sen.
Steadily catching the ball, Lin Sen was not in a hurry to attack, and slowly dribbled the ball across the half court. After halftime, all the Magic players had settled down.
With a gesture from Lin Sen, the team ran continuously, and Rondo who was defending him became Paul Pierce who he was defending just now.
Although Paul Pierce was stronger and taller, Lin Sen felt relaxed. After all, Rondo's speed and hands were too fast.
"The matchup between Wood and pp, just now pp missed a shot under Wood's defense, so he must really want to defend Wood this time, but I think at this moment Doug has the same idea as Stan just now, and he must not want to see it PP's physical energy is consumed on the defensive end, especially defending Wood." Bill Wharton said with a smile.
"PP, I'm going to be a father, let me go." Lin Sen said with a smile while dribbling the ball.
"Okay, I'll guard you, and when I see your child later, tell him that his father's underwear is gone." Paul Pierce responded with a smile.
"You really let me down, I despise you instead of my child." Lin Sen was still talking one second, and his body moved the next second.
The whole person rushed directly to the right side of Pierce's body with the ball.
"You bastard!" Pierce cursed in a low voice, with his arms outstretched and his chest puffed out with quick lateral steps.
Use your body to entangle Lin Sen, and then force Lin Sen to slow down.
Pierce's defensive method is also the choice of many people to defend Lin Sen, seeing that Pierce's body is about to collide.
Lin Sen abruptly stopped his sprinting steps, and pulled the ball with his left foot as the pivot with his right hand.
Bang!
The left side of Lin Sen's body collided with Pierce's chest.
"**!" Pierce cursed in a low voice, and quickly moved to the right, trying to block Lin Sen's ball and turn around.
However, just as he turned around, Lin Sen pulled back again.
Pierce hated Linsen's feint, but at this moment he had to forcefully adjust his steps again.
However, after Lin Sen made another adjustment, he slapped the ball with his right hand, and the ball hit the ground in the gap between the two and then came to his left hand.
After taking a slight step back to catch the ball with his left hand, Lin Sen rushed forward with his right foot.
Two consecutive turns had exhausted Pierce's reaction, and when he realized that Lin Sen had changed direction, he could only be powerless.
Pierce just stretched out his hand subconsciously, watching Lin Sen rush into the inside line.
Leaving Pierce behind, Lin Sen had a lot of choices. After glancing at Leon Bowie who was standing inside, Lin Sen rushed over.
"Wood, two fake moves in a row are really beautiful, there is no stagnation at all, pp has tried his best." Hoffman sighed.
Leon Bowie also played for the Cavaliers last season. Although he was only a slapped substitute, he was very impressed with Linsen's ability to attack the basket.
Without fear, Lin Sen adjusted his steps, stepped heavily on the floor with his left foot, and rose into the air.
He lifted the ball high with his right hand and slammed it behind his head. His body was fully opened in the air, and he straightened his chest like a fully drawn bow and flew towards the basket.
Lin Sen's body was getting taller and taller, and Leon Bowie could barely stand up his arms to block it.
Bang!
The bodies of the two collided in the air, and Leon Bowie's right hand hit Lin Sen's arm.
beep!
With the sound of the whistle, Lin Sen's right hand swayed over Leon Bowie's head and smashed the ball heavily towards the basket.
"Bang!"
Under Lin Sen's pull, the basket groaned and groaned, which was broadcast throughout the audience through the loudspeaker.
Nearly [-] Magic fans in the center of the water house burst into crazy shouts.
The representatives of the major magazines who participated in the bidding this afternoon did not choose the box but chose the sidelines. At this moment, they felt the madness in the center of the water house.
Especially those representatives who didn't watch basketball much before felt the charm of basketball.
"Leon's active defense was rewarded with an additional penalty. In fact, when he saw Wood rushing in, he should have chosen to avoid rather than defend." Bill Wharton joked.
Enjoying the cheers of the audience, Lin Sen walked to the free throw line, and the referee Crawford slapped the ball to Lin Sen.
"Mvp! Mvp! Mvp!"
"Mvp! Mvp! Mvp!"
Amidst the cheers of MVP, Lin Sen easily threw the ball.
"Easy penalty hit, Wood completed 2+1, except for the first time he faced Rajon's defense and chose to pass the ball after playing, Wood made a three-pointer and a 2+1, scoring six points in a row to help Orlando take the lead The advantage expanded to 7 points, and I already felt that Doug couldn't sit still."
"Yes, maybe Doug has remembered that night at the beginning of this season that made him and Boston unforgettable." Bill Wharton said with a smile.
Doug Rivers on the sidelines frowned, being 7 points behind made him have to make some changes in advance: "Kg, Tony is ready to play!"
"Oh, Doug called KG and Tony up, obviously he's going to make a substitution." Bill Wharton said looking at the sidelines.
Returning to the offensive end, Boston Celtics Pierce directly asked for the ball, and Rondo passed the ball without any objection.
Sean Battier, who was in charge of defending Pierce, posted it up immediately. Facing Battier's defense, Pierce didn't hit directly with his back like he just hit Linsen.
Instead, he made a three-threat move, a change of direction, a feint with his upper body, and then a step back and a jumper.
Battier's defense is in place, but in the face of the signature moves of a superstar like Pierce, Battier can only do his best.
But this time Battier's blindfolding method was not successful, and Pierce's shot went steadily into the basket.
Seeing Pierce score, Rivers was relieved.
Pierce swung his fist, glanced at Lin Sen and ran to the backcourt.
"This is pp, the truth on the court. Although Sean's defense is in place, he is still a little bit worse." Hoffman sighed.
Seeing Lin Sen dribble the ball past halftime, Rondo pushed forward again. This time Lin Sen still didn't pass the ball, but directly met Rondo's defense.
"Is Wood still planning to come by himself? He seems to be making a gesture, and I don't know what the gesture means." Bill Wharton looked at Lin Sen on the field and said.
Rondo was very unwilling. His defense was even harder than at the beginning, but Lin Sen kept pushing Rondo to the three-point line.
Stepping back a little, Lin Sen showed everyone his skillful dribbling.
The ball seemed to be integrated with Lin Sen, shuttling back and forth under his control.
Eddie Griffin on the inside pulled to the mid-range position, and the others also pulled away. It gave people the feeling that Lin Sen was still planning to play singles by himself, which put a lot of pressure on Rondo.
The whole person's nerves were tense, and his eyes were fixed on Lin Sen's waist and abdomen.
Snapped!
Lin Sen slapped the ball hard, and Rondo felt that Lin Sen was making a move.
"Wood charged!" Bill Wharton shouted loudly, and Rondo was also preparing to retreat, but this time he kept his defensive focus at all times, in case Lin Sen made a fake move.
At this moment, Lin Sen actually withdrew his momentum and jumped up in front of him again.
"Wood, Wood chose to force a jump shot again, is there?" Hoffman shouted, but Lin Sen didn't shoot, but threw the ball directly to the inside with both hands.
The ball went straight to the inside like a cannonball out of the chamber, and Eddie Griffin, who was pulled to the mid-range position, just dodged to get out of Leon Bowen's body.
"Oh, Wood turned out to pass the ball, and Eddie cut in to get the ball."
In Bill Wharton's voice, Eddie Griffin got Linsen's pass, and he pressed the ball heavily into the basket with both hands without defense.
"We were all cheated." Hoffman said with a smile as he looked at Lin Sen and Eddie Griffin, who were bouncing their chests and celebrating.
"Obviously yes, this is Wood, and many of his passes come from this." Bill Wharton continued.
Doug Rivers made a timeout gesture at the referee, and Crawford immediately blew the whistle in his mouth to signal the Celtics to request a short timeout of 20 seconds.
"Doug finally requested a timeout. Orlando led by 7 points. There are still 6 minutes before the end of the first half. After the timeout, Doug is expected to change to the strongest defensive lineup."
Just like Hoffman said, after a short 20-second pause, Doug Rivers made a substitution.
The inside line has become the strongest defensive lineup of Kendrick Perkins and Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce is still on the front line, and Tony Allen is replaced at the back line.
With the addition of Rajon Rondo, the defensive ability of the Celtics lineup is particularly terrifying, and look at James Posey and Matt Barnes sitting on the bench. The coaches of teams with excellent defensive players at the forward position are particularly envious.
The Magic also made substitutions. Battier and Hill were replaced by Artest and Billups respectively, and inside Chris Webber was replaced by Milicic.
After the timeout, the Celtics' defense against Linsen became more stringent. Tony Allen wanted to stick to Linsen all the time. Once the ball left Linsen, he would block Linsen's receiving line.
Others blocked Lin Sen's running position at any time. This kind of defense prevented Lin Sen from finding a good offensive opportunity in the next 2 minutes, and the only shot he made was a basket.
The Magic only scored a high jumper from Billups in 2 minutes, while Boston was just the opposite. They seized the opportunity of the Magic's attack being contained and took the opportunity to counterattack.
Within 2 minutes, Pierce and Garnett scored three goals. The Celtics, who were still 7 points behind before the timeout, quickly chased the point difference to only 3 points.
Stan Van Gundy played the role of Doug Rivers just now. He didn't wait too much but directly requested a long timeout.
"The 2 minutes just told everyone that tough defense is the most important weapon to win the game. Boston stopped Orlando on the basis of their defense. I don't know how Stan will adjust. I guess Dwight will play. These 2 minutes are not good for the kg limit, which is why Orlando is at a disadvantage." Bill Wharton said.
"I need cover!" Panting heavily, Lin Sen took a sip of Gatorade.
Stan Van Gundy nodded: "Give me Wood's cover, Dwight is going to replace Eddie, Ron, your defense needs to be more active, and the offensive end also needs to put pressure on them. Chauncey, you and Wood exchange the ball... ..."
The long timeout ended quickly, and players from both sides returned to the field. Doc Rivers did not replace Ray Allen, who had a better offense, but continued to retain Tony, who had defended Linsen well for just 2 minutes. Allen.
"I don't know what changes Orlando has made." Hoffman said looking at the field.
"Chauncey has the ball, Wood doesn't have the ball, and Wood without the ball has just been restricted by Boston." Bill Walton said looking at the court.
Milicic on the inside quickly pulled out, and Lin Sen also ran towards Milicic.
Bang!
With a cover, Lin Sen temporarily threw off Tony Allen.
Without stopping for a moment, Lin Sen went back to the top of the arc at the fastest speed.
Billups, who was holding the ball, passed the ball over immediately, and Rajon Rondo on the other side immediately defended him.
At the same time as he was catching the ball, Lin Sen abruptly stopped on his upper body, shook his hands and raised the ball, and Rajon Rondo jumped up subconsciously.
Seeing Rondo jumping up, Lin Sen quickly cut the ball in with one hand and one bow.
The Celtics' defense was really good. After Rondo lost the ability to defend Linsen in the first place, Tony Allen, who bypassed Milicic's cover on the other side, pounced on Linsen again.
Facing Tony Allen who was charging up again, Lin Sen suddenly stopped and changed direction.
Tony Allen's center of gravity followed Lin Sen's change of direction to make a defensive change. With another start and acceleration, Lin Sen threw off Tony Allen's supplementary defense and went inside.
At this time, the Celtics only had Lin Sen's big brother, KG, under the basket. Garnett's iconic cold expression put a lot of pressure on the offensive players, but Lin Sen had long been familiar with Garnett, so he was not added. Nate's expression was frightened, but he quickly made a choice in his mind.
Garnett looked at Lin Sen who was rushing towards him at high speed, let out a low growl, and stood above Lin Sen's offensive line with his arms raised high.
On the court, he doesn't show any affection for Lin Sen. He still remembers the scene of being defeated by Lin Sen in Boston last time. For him, that time was a complete failure.
The two were getting closer and closer, Lin Sen made a sudden change of direction and then stopped suddenly, with the shaking of his upper body, he swung the ball with both hands.
Garnett jumped up. Although he was very experienced, Lin Sen was not as immature as he was at his age. Facing Garnett's jump, Lin Sen jumped up and raised the ball high with both hands.
Garnett's right arm was sealed, but Lin Sen was not afraid. This was the moment he was waiting for.
The ball that went out was taken back by Lin Sen, but this time Lin Sen did not choose to change hands, but chose a low hand, and greeted his own arm.
As soon as the ball left his hand, Garnett hit Lin Sen's arm with his outstretched right hand to block the shot.
"Damn it!" Doug Rivers stomped his feet fiercely off the court. Garnett committed two fouls in the first quarter, and this time he fouled three times. There are nearly 4 minutes left at the end of the game.
If there is another foul in the next half, it will be difficult to play in the second half, and if Garnett does not play, it will be a huge blow to Boston.
The basketball flew towards the backboard, and Lin Sen lost his center of gravity and fell to the floor.
Bang!
Under self-protection, Lin Sen's butt touched the ground first.
Lin Sen's shot hit the backboard and fell into the basket, and the audience cheered wildly again.
"Yes!"
Lin Sen clenched his fists in celebration, the whole person sat on the floor and slid more than one meter away.
Garnett glared at Lin Sen on the floor, obviously he was very annoyed at Lin Sen's tricking him into fouling, but now he couldn't change the fact.
"Wood caused kg's foul and also hit the ball. Wood's second two plus one in this quarter, the key is that kg got the third foul on his back, which is fatal for Boston." Hoffman looked at the crowd The statistics on the screen said.
"You cunning guy, I won't forgive you." Garnett glared at Lin Sen and said viciously.
"I didn't let you thug." Lin Sen ignored Garnett's glare and walked to the free throw line.
"Haha, Wood is so smart, I don't know how kg will adjust next. He is an old player and should know how to adjust himself. However, the impact of three fouls on him is still not small. Orlando should seize this opportunity to hit the inside." Bill Walton looked at the field and said.
After taking the ball from Crawford, Lin Sen threw the ball amidst the cheers of the audience.
The ball got into the basket steadily again. Linsen 2+1 not only stabilized the unfavorable situation of the Magic in the past 2 minutes, but also helped the Magic to regain the point difference to four points.
Of course, what is more important to the Magic is that Garnett had three fouls on his back, and another Celtics defensive gate Kendrick Perkins also had three fouls on his back.
If the Celtics still have a strong rotation on the outside, then the inside is their fatal weakness. During the offseason, Danny Ainge and Doug Rivers have been trying to strengthen the inside, and then they have been kept by other players. The team robbed them, and Eddie Griffin made them regret the most.
In the end, apart from Leon Bowie and Pollard, the former Super Kings bench bandit, only one Cato was reinforced. However, Cato was injured in the game against the Bucks a few days ago, so he was unable to play today due to a knee injury. .
Rondo took possession of the ball and came to the frontcourt. Instead of organizing the team's offense, he handed the ball to Pierce again.
Without the ball, Rondo once again enjoyed the unattended treatment. Lin Sen left Rondo and was ready to double-team Pierce at any time.
However, Pierce did not have the idea of one-on-one offensive and defensive drills with Artest. After a simple confrontation, he hoisted the ball into the interior.
After Garnett on the inside received the ball, Milicic, who was in charge of defending him, immediately stuck to Garnett's back tightly.
"Doug must really hope that Rajon has a shot, look at his position." Bill Walton said with a smile.
Just at this time, Rajon Rondo, who was in an absolutely open position at the top of the arc, suddenly started, which made Lin Sen, who was just about to return to his original position, completely unprepared.
When Lin Sen was about to chase and defend, Rondo had already cut in from the middle.
Garnett, who was relying on Milicic on his back, turned around halfway and sent the ball with his right hand.
Rajon Rondo, who cut in, threw the ball directly to the basket after receiving the ball, and Howard, who was defending from the other side of the basket, was still a bit slower.
The ball flew high over Howard's fingers and flew to the backboard. After a rebound, the ball got into the basket.
"Damn it!" Lin Sen waved his hand dejectedly. He didn't expect that Rondo would be given a chance because of his missed defense.
"Bill, you just finished talking about Rajon and scored a goal, haha." Hoffman turned to look at Bill Wharton and said with a smile.
Bill Wharton was depressed for a while, but it was true.
Rondo's goal this time also made Lin Sen dare not let him go too much. After all, although Rondo has no ability to be lazy, he is fast and can cut in at any time.
Linsen didn't go up to catch the ball, and Milicic sent the ball to Billups.
Billups drives upfield after receiving the ball, while Linson runs upfield from the other side.
Lin Sen without the ball made the Celtics' defense even more tense, because Lin Sen can run very well, but Tony Allen still wanted to block Lin Sen's receiving line to defend Lin Sen.
Lin Sen didn't speed up but let Tony Allen stick to him. Lin Sen stood one step inside the 45-degree three-point line on the right.
"Chauncey held the ball, and Wood stepped inside the three-point line to reach out for the ball with Tony on his shoulders, but the chance of catching the ball is not good, and it is likely to be cut off." Hoffman said looking at the field.
Billups didn't pass the ball directly, but it wasn't that he didn't want to pass, but Lin Sen's gesture was not passing the ball at this moment.
Looking at Rajon Rondo who was defending himself, Billups made a gesture of pulling out to cover Milicic inside.
Milicic immediately ran to the left three-point line. Milicic's offensive foul was not comparable to Howard's, so Garnett followed immediately, and Howard on the other side glanced at Perkins and ran to High post, but he ran to the high post on the right.
Almost at the same time as Howard moved to the high position, Lin Sen, who was leaning on Tony Allen, turned and swayed to the right, and Tony Allen moved his feet immediately.
While Tony Allen was moving his feet, Lin Sen quickly turned to the left, and immediately accelerated after turning around.
Tony Allen wanted to reach out and grab Lin Sen's jersey, but he couldn't do this, so he gritted his teeth and turned around to chase after him.
Bang!
Tony Allen crashed into a person, and this person was Howard who was pulled out as a cover.
Billups on the other side also used Milicic's cover to get rid of Rondo, and Garnett immediately threw Milicic away to block Billups.
Lin Sen, who was cutting in from the other side, had already accelerated away from Perkins. Billups saw Lin Sen coming around and sent the ball out one by one.
The ball passed through Garnett's crotch and bounced into the inside line. After running to the inside line, Lin Sen comfortably caught the ball and flicked the ball with his left hand, and the ball immediately went into the basket.
"Wood's goal was too easy. There was no one in Boston's basket, which completely left Wood with a big gap. Of course, this goal was due to Orlando's running screen. The double screens on both sides made Wood's easy goal. Ball." Hoffman commented.
The game continued, and the non-stop tactics and coordination of the Magic made the Celtics' defense extremely uncomfortable, especially when the two insiders all faced three fouls, they did not dare to attack easily and could only maintain deterrence. Deterrence is clearly far less useful than true defense.
With 1 minute left before the end of the first half, the Magic extended their lead to 8 points.
The increased defensive pressure on the inside has also brought huge defensive pressure to the Celtics outside.
Even if the Celtics did a good job of defending Lin Sen, Lin Sen scored 16 points in this quarter.
"Wood has completely become the role of shooting guard in the past few minutes. Running without the ball has too much restraint on Boston's defense. Wood is another screen."
Hoffman changed the subject, and saw that Lin Sen on the field threw off Rondo's defense and reached the top of the arc, and the ball in Billups' hands flew over immediately.
When Lin Sen received the ball, he made another false move, but Ray Allen, who switched defenses, did not hesitate.
Seeing that Ray Allen didn't hesitate, Lin Sen didn't care. After a tentative step, he jumped up directly.
"Wood again? A three-pointer!" Bill Wharton shouted.
"It misses the ball," Hoffman said, looking at the arc of the basketball.
"Oh, it's not a shot, it's an alley-oop. Dwight, who just screened for Wood, jumped down!" Bill Wharton watched as Howard rushed to the inside and jumped up.
Howard greeted the ball from Lin Sen with both hands, and Perkins on the inside looked at Howard who was getting closer and did not choose to dodge but chose to jump up.
Doug Rivers off the court saw this scene and couldn't help shouting at the court, he didn't expect Perkins to be able to defend the ball, not to mention Howard had already taken off completely, as long as Perkins took off and defended perfectly* * Called a foul.
But Perkins has already jumped up, and his bounce is completely incomparable with Howard. He can only rely on his strong body weight to build a flesh wall.
Howard didn't expect that Perkins would be able to defend. He firmly grasped Lin Sen's pass with both hands, and flew towards Perkins without any dodge.
Bang!
The two collided, and Howard, who had an absolute advantage in bouncing, felt like he was about to be knocked into the air, but he still smashed the ball to the basket behind Perkins desperately with both hands.
Crawford's whistle sounded again, and Doc Rivers cursed fiercely, but it didn't help.
And Perkins, who was blown for a blocking foul, couldn't block Howard's goal. Howard dunked the ball into the basket on Perkins' forehead.
Howard, who was holding the basket, yanked his hands hard, and Perkins staggered to the ground and almost fell.
Roar!
Jumping down, Howard beat his chest fiercely and roared.
"Dwight, well done, well done!" Lin Sen rushed up and punched Howard in the chest.
"Boston is in trouble. Kendrick fouled four times." Hoffman said as he watched Perkins walk to the sidelines in the anger of Doc Rivers. The fans in the water house center cheered Perkins fate.
"Kk, Nata's special situation may not be suitable for a normal delivery. This is not a good sign. It is best to let Wood come over. We may have a caesarean section. If that is the case, we need his signature." Nemia, Orlando Hospital, Florida. Jerome glanced at Natalie Portman and Carolina who were screaming in pain and said.
The cry of Natalie Portman in the delivery room made Carolina feel distressed for a while. The pain that was not so painful at first intensified sharply during this period of time. Drenched in sweat, trembling with pain, Carolina felt particularly distressed.
"I'll call him right away." Carolina nodded. She didn't know if Lin Sen was having an intermission at the moment, but she was ready to call Otis Smith if Lin Sen couldn't get through. . (To be continued.)
