legendary point guard

Chapter 455 A battle that must be won

The entire mic center is muted, completely quiet.

Only the big towels waving from the Orlando Magic bench, only the cheers of the Magic players.

Wizards fans all stared at Lin Sen who was being pushed and shoved by his teammates in the center of the field. The Chinese and Lin Sen fans who came to the scene also did not cheer.

They are not the same fear as Wizards fans, they are enjoying the feeling that the mic is muted because of Chen Tian.

The local announcer for the Washington Wizards opened his mouth, but didn't know how to express it.

Eddie Jordan showed a wry smile, and with Lin Sen's heavy dunk across the beige, the point difference was pulled to 9 points.

And it was only 1 minute before the end of the game. He knew that even if the Magic only led by 5 points after this dunk, it would be almost impossible for the Wizards to regain the victory.

Eddie Jordan called a timeout, and he chose to forfeit the game.

"It's really terrible. Wood was almost silent for the entire game. Before that, he only scored 12 points. On the offensive end, except for passing, the scoring basically came from the help of his teammates. There were very few direct singles goals in the past.

However, he just dealt us all a hard blow, and completely threw us on the other side of failure.

If Gilbert is there then it will be us to win tonight. "The live commentator sighed.

However, he obviously selectively forgot that Lin Sen, who was still a rookie last year, staged a difficult buzzer counter lore on this court in the third game of his career.

And Lin Sen saved up the entire game just for the last moment. If it wasn't for his teammate's outstanding performance in the fourth quarter, he would have chosen to stand up and take over the game, not to mention the dunk in front of Jamison just now.

Wiping his sweat and drinking a drink, Lin Sen sat on the bench.

Stan Van Gundy, like Eddie Jordan, chose to make a substitution, and although there was still more than a minute left, both sides understood what the other meant.

After more than a minute.The whistle sounded for the end of the game.

The Orlando Magic, which was behind by up to 16 points, finally completed a reversal and broke through the mic in the second back-to-back game.

The biggest feeling of this game, apart from Lin Sen's crazy dunk on Jamison at the end, was the appearance of Dwight Howard, who was once rumored to be refrigerated until he left the team.

It was Howard's playing that changed the unfavorable situation of the Magic, but the reporters and fans wanted to know whether Howard would leave the team and why he was refrigerated.

"Dwight has some minor injuries, so we let him rest, and there are no bad remarks. He has always been an important part of us." Stan Van Gundy answered reporters' questions after the game.

"Dwight is ok now, and we are all waiting for his return. He showed a very good state tonight, which is what we all want to see." Lin Sen also did not say the real reason when facing the question. .

In the morning, there were still rumors that he would definitely leave the team, but in the evening it turned into staying in the team, and there was a very harmonious scene among the whole team, from the management to the coaching staff to the players.

This turn of events made many people feel cheated.However, the "Orlando Sentinel" reporter George Diaz released the photos of the Orlando Big Three that he took during the game on the "Orlando Sentinel", which still made many people see some clues.

In the photo, Howard and Milicic are running on both sides of Linsen, but Howard's smile is obviously a little unnatural. Compared with Milicic and Linson, it is obvious to find this similarity and difference.

And Howard's eyes give people a very complicated feeling, not as natural as the photos taken in the past.

In connection with the news some time ago, everyone still believes that there is still a gap between Howard and the Magic.

The "Los Angeles Times" reporter John said on his Twitter that the Magic and the Lakers had indeed negotiated on Howard, and the Lakers' biggest bargaining chip was Bynum.

But for the Magic, the unhappiness seems to be over.At least the whole team seems to be moving closer to the past.

The only bad news for the Magic is that from November to February this season, Lin Sen's record of winning the player of the month four times in a row finally stopped.

Due to the team's problems in March, Lin Sen finally lost to LeBron James, who performed exceptionally bravely in March.

Although he lost the best of the month, Lin Sen's mood was not affected at all. In the subsequent game against the Atlanta Hawks, Lin Sen scored 24 points and sent 18 assists, which once again hurt the hearts of the Eagles fans. .

The "Atlanta Tribune" once again published the headline "If we had chosen Wood" after the game, but time would not turn back, and the Eagles could only accept this fact depressingly.

The time is getting closer and closer to the end of the season.The Celtics of the Big Three did not implement rotation.

The reason is that the Orlando Magic only bit the Celtics under the leadership of Lin Sen. If it weren't for the Magic's turmoil in March, the Celtics would not have climbed to the number one position in the league.

After getting the first position, the Celtics naturally don't want to meet the Magic or the Cavaliers in the second round, so Doc Rivers and Celtics general manager Danny Ainge gave up their plan to rest the Big Three.

Doug Rivers can only reduce the playing time of Garnett, Pierce and Ray Allen as much as possible, so as not to cause the Celtics to lose due to the rotation.

当时间来到4月8日的时候,奥兰多魔术以62胜15负落后着东部第一也是全联盟第一的波士顿凯尔特的63胜15负半个胜场。

The Cleveland Cavaliers, ranked third in the Eastern Conference, currently have 59 wins and 18 losses, 3 games behind the Magic. It is not easy to catch up with 5 games left.

The Celtics have played against the Magic three times before this season.Lost two, won one.

Except for Lin Sen not playing well in March because of the team, he played well in the other two games. Especially in the first game of the season, he set a new NBA single-quarter scoring record in the fourth quarter.

The Celtics' record against the rest of the Eastern Conference is not as good as the Magic.The Magic and Celtics played against each other for the fourth time in the regular season on April 4.

With the Celtics playing one more game and the Magic playing one less.

Once the Magic wins the fourth game against the Celtics, the Magic will definitely lock in the No. [-] position in the Eastern Conference without losing more than one game in the remaining four games, and there is no need to play against the Cavaliers in the semifinals .

And not surprisingly, you can wait for the winner between the Celtics and Cavaliers in the semifinals in the final.

Whether it is against the Cavaliers or against the older Big Three, the strong dialogue in the semifinals will affect the performance of the Eastern Conference finals.

Therefore, both the Celtics and the Cavaliers hope to grab the No. [-] position in the Eastern Conference, but it is almost impossible for the Cavaliers to grab it, and even the possibility of competing for home court advantage in the semifinals is very slim.

They can only wait for the opponent in the semifinals to be the Magic or the Celtics, but the Cavaliers still hope that they will encounter the Celtics instead of the Magic in the semifinals.

Of course if it was the magic of the turbulent period in March.The Cavaliers definitely hope to meet, but since Howard's comeback against the Wizards, the Magic's cooperation is better than a game.

Although Lin Sen's offensive firepower seems to have dropped all of a sudden, and he has not exceeded the season average of 28 points per game in several consecutive games, but Lin Sen's average assist data per game has been rising a little bit.

With 15 assists in six consecutive games, Lin Sen finally pulled his season assist average to double digits after the home game against the Toronto Raptors on April 4.

Lin Sen also became the fifth player to average double figures in assists this season after Chris Paul, Steve Nash, Deron Williams, and Jason Kidd.

And as long as Lin Sen maintains such assist firepower in the last few games.Then the 2007-2008 season will be the second time in history that five players averaged double figures in assists per game in a single season.

Howard's state has also stabilized after his comeback, especially after Linsen's assists and firepower, Howard's scoring average is no less than when he played too many singles in March.

The state of the Magic team is exceptionally good, and the same is true for the Celtics, which makes the game between the two sides on April 4 destined to attract extra attention.

However, compared with the Celtics, the Magic cannot lose this game.Because once they lose this game, they will lose the initiative to be No. 4 in the Eastern Conference. More importantly, they still need to play away against the Houston Rockets on April 11.

这是他们赛季和火箭最后一次交手,虽然在没有霍华德的情况下,林森用42分21次助攻18个篮板5次抢断2次封盖恐怖数据带领魔术守住了主场。

But the game against the Celtics is destined to consume too much physical energy, flying to Houston overnight, even a day of adjustment time may not be able to restore everyone's physical fitness.

And the season is coming to an end, even though Lin Sen won the best of the month for four consecutive months.This month was great too, but so were James, Chris Paul, Kobe and even Garnett.

Even though most of the media put Lin Sen as the mvp No. 1 pick without any suspense, Lin Sen knows that he needs to keep going if he wants to get the mvp.

And the game against the Celtics is his chance to show himself to the national media again, so the game against the Celtics is a must-win game for the Magic and Linsen himself.

The good news under pressure is that the Magic defeated the visiting Toronto Raptors at home on the 7th, and the Magic still played at home against the Boston Celtics on the 9th, and there is no need to fly to Boston.

On April 4, the entire Orlando has entered the playoff mode.This game is no less than a playoff game for the Magic.

"It seems that Orlando is ready for Wood to win the mvp." Garnett, who was sitting on the bus, looked out the window and said.

The signs on the side of the road are all pictures of Lin Sen, and many slogans directly use the slogan of Lin Sen mvp.

"I am not surprised that he was elected this year. He is really outstanding. Few people can threaten him. LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul and of course you." Paul Pierce laughed said.

Ray Allen on the side came up.Looking at Garnett, he asked with a smile, "Kg, if you hadn't traded Wood Lynn, what would have happened to Minnesota?"

"No ifs!" Garnett shrugged.But the attitude towards this matter in my heart is far from being as relaxed as it appears.

"Anyway, we must defeat him later!" Pierce said with a smile.
