legendary point guard

"Wood Walks Orlando to Sweep Promotion" - This is the headline of the second day of "USA TODAY".

As "USA Today" said, Lin Sen's performance at the last moment yesterday severely beat the hearts of the Philadelphians.

The media does not seem to be surprised by the Magic's sweeping promotion. Compared with other rounds, the media is still willing to pay attention to the tense duels in other rounds.

However, on the second day after the Philadelphia 76ers were swept away, when countless 76ers fans were still heartbroken, the "Philadelphia Inquirer" spent two full pages analyzing what would happen if the Philadelphia 76ers had Lin Lin in addition to reporting the game. Sen's situation.

From Lin Sen's leadership qualities to Lin Sen's offensive ability at critical moments, to his style of play, to his compatibility with today's 76ers, he conducted a thorough analysis.

In the end, it was concluded that Lin Sen's coming to the 76ers will become the symbol of the next 76ers, and he can also play double point guard with Andre Miller, while Iguodala can move to the small forward position.

Through transactions and loose salary space to fight for big-name inside players in the free market, so that the 76ers can use the new lineup to fight for the O'Brien Cup.

This report is crazy. In order to get Lin Sen, he chose to play badly for the next two years, and then wait for Lin Sen's rookie contract to expire and use the maximum salary to fight for Lin Sen.

He also claimed that Linsen and Iguodala will eventually become another pair of super perimeter combinations after Jordan and Pippen in history.

This report is a joke in the eyes of Orlando Multimedia, but what I didn't expect was that the Philadelphians initiated a vote on the 76ers official forum.

In just one day, Lin Sen, who led the Magic to defeat the 76ers, became the man they most desired.

"Can't Beat Him, Get Him" ​​was the headline on the sports section of the Philadelphia Daily News the next day.

More importantly, the owner and general manager of Philadelphia really had such an idea, which made Otis Smith worry.

He also knows that most teams in the league are eyeing Lin Sen. He has already planned to extend his contract in the middle of next year's season, and must tie Lin Sen to Orlando as soon as possible.

Orlando Multimedia also realized that Philadelphia was not joking, and directly started a war of words with the Philadelphia media.

And the Orlando Magic team is training seriously, waiting to bring their opponents in the semifinals.

At this time, the league's first three awards this year are also released in turn.

Linsen's teammate Grant Hill defeated five competitors to win the sportsmanship award of the season.

In the selection of the best sixth man award.Ginobili, the opponent who defeated Linsen last year, won the best sixth man award with his career-high 19.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.47 steals.

Grant Hill was fourth and Shane Battier was fifth.

In the selection of the best defensive player, Kevin Garnett won the award with a high vote. Dwight Howard, who averaged 13.9 rebounds and 2.9 blocks per game, only scored a poor 7 points in the selection. .

Ron Artest and Sean Battier were third and fourth respectively.And Lin Sen was surprised that he even scored 4 points.

On May 5, the Orlando Magic finally knew who their next opponent was. The Detroit Pistons finally defeated the Chicago Bulls in seven games and successfully entered the Eastern Conference semifinals.

And they only have two days of rest, and the Magic rest for a full eight days.

Although the Detroit Pistons have been a powerhouse in the Eastern Conference for the past five years and have won the championship, but now the core Billups has joined the Magic, making the team lose the most important person.

Insider general McDyess joined the Spurs, and Ben Wallace joined the Bulls. The original super team Jagged Pistons no longer exists.

Although relying on Hamilton, Rahel Wallace and Prince this year, they still entered the playoffs and defeated the Bulls.But the strength is not what it used to be.

In the face of this powerful opponent in the past, the Magic did not care about it.

The thrilling game against the 76ers in the last game of the first round made the Magic dare not be careless.

On May 5, against the Detroit Pistons at home, Billups did not perform well against the old club that made him stand at the top for the first time in the playoffs.

The whole game only scored 7 points and sent 5 assists.But the extraterrestrial Sam. Cassell made up for Billups' performance and scored 18 points, second only to Linsen and ranked Magic second.

The difficulty of this game was beyond the expectations of the Magic. The Pistons' defense was extremely tenacious, as if the defense of the former peak Pistons had been restored.

Howard struggled under the care of Rasheed Wallace, barely scoring a double-double of 10 points and 10 rebounds.

不过米利西奇的17分和阿泰斯特的16分，以及卡塞尔的18分给了林森很大帮助。最终魔术还是以98：88击败了活塞。

However, the difficulty of the first game did not give Detroit hope for promotion, because in the second game at home on May 5, Billups, who played poorly in the first game, broke out.

He made 7 of 7 three-pointers and finally scored a team-high 28 points. Under the eye-catching performance of Billups, Lin Sen scored only 20 points.

However, in addition to 20 points, Lin Sen relied on 10 rebounds and 15 assists to get the second triple-double of the playoffs.

6 games into the playoffs.Lin Sen averaged 28 points, 7.3 rebounds, 11.5 assists, 3.5 steals and 1.5 blocks per game.

In addition to scoring.The other four major statistics have improved across the board from the regular season.

More importantly, the shooting percentage has not decreased due to the increase in defensive intensity in the playoffs. Lin Sen is also the best performer since the start of the playoffs.

Orlando Multimedia even crazily shouted that if the regular season mvp is not Lin Sen's, the NBA should not do it.

"Orlando Paranoia", this is the words of Orlando Multimedia's rival Cleveland Media, they naturally support James to become the regular season mvp.

"Mvp? I value the O'Brien Cup more. If someone needs it, I can give it to him!" Lin Sen said to the Cleveland media when he left Orlando and flew to Detroit.

You must know that the NBA has not announced that he is the mvp of the regular season. Lin Sen's words are more of a satire on the Cleveland media.

However, those opponents of the media took advantage of it. The Los Angeles media that supported Kobe, the Cleveland media that supported James, the Boston media that supported Garnett, and the Houston media that supported Tracy McGrady all stood up and stated that their players should be the most regular players. The one who played the mvp game.

What is even more unexpected is that the Cleveland media did not go to interview opponent Boston but went to Detroit.

"Rashid, Wood Lin said he has already considered the O'Brien Cup. What do you want to say about his words? Do you think Detroit can't come back?"

Rasheed Wallace stared blankly at the reporter: "If you want the O'Brien Cup, let's talk about it after he passes."

"Do you think Detroit will lose to him? Everyone knows that Detroit has a glorious tradition. Despite some problems this season, it is still very strong, but Wood Lin doesn't seem to put Detroit in his eyes."

Rahel Wallace sneered: "We never let the guy who talks big come true. I hope he can play well and not be a softie."

Hearing Rasheed Wallace's answer, the Cleveland reporter smiled.

Because that's what he wanted, which angered Rasheed Wallace.

Everyone knows that McGrady said a word back then, and that year McGrady was in full bloom and high spirits.

The total score of 3:1 makes people infinitely reverie, but it is the sentence that the next round has been considered to make Tracy McGrady a laughing stock.

Also because of this sentence, he was brought down again and again fiercely when facing the Pistons, which eventually directly led to his injury outbreak.

If it weren't for that sentence, if it wasn't for facing the Pistons, then history might be rewritten. Although Tracy McGrady is still in excellent form this season, everyone knows that Tracy McGrady is no longer the No. 1 era Tracy McGrady in Orlando.

Soon Lin Sen was thinking about his opponent in the finals, and Rasheed Wallace wanted to show Lin Sen two good news, and it appeared in major newspapers.

And Rasheed Wallace's words can't help worrying Linsen fans and Magic fans. The Pistons' defensive strength in the two games at home is very strong.

The next two games are to Detroit. They absolutely don't want to see Lin Sen get injured.

"Wood, you shouldn't have said that, you know the Detroit tradition?

If you are like this, it is really worrying. " Billups came to Lin Sen's room.

He didn't know that Lin Sen said such a thing at the beginning. As the teammate of Roaring Tianzun, he naturally knew what kind of character Rasheed Wallace was.

In the next game, the defense against Lin Sen will definitely be stricter. If Lin Sen is injured, the blow to the Magic will be fatal.

Lin Sen didn't expect that his words would anger Rasheed Wallace.

"I was just satirizing the Cleveland media at first, and had no other meaning."

"But now Rasheed thinks you ignore Detroit. You should know that I played there and left a lot of good memories. I know the style there. Now you can't express other words to explain it. It will make you look afraid. .

I'll call Rashid later, but be careful during the game. " Billups took care of the road.

Unexpectedly, when Billups left, Stan Van Gundy also came to remind Lin Sen, and McGrady even called him.

And under the deliberate exaggeration of the Cleveland media, it seems that Lin Sen will be abolished in Detroit in the next game.

At this time, Turkoglu, who played for Magic Linsen's former teammate last season and went to the Kings in the Artest trade, won the Best Improvement Award, and Stan Van Gundy also successfully won the Best Coach Award.

But Stan Van Gundy was not in a happy mood, he was very worried about the upcoming game tonight.
