legendary point guard

"Wood, crazy Wood!" Bill Wharton said looking at Lin Sen who jumped down.

The people cheering for Linsen in the Ford Center cheered frantically, and it was extraordinarily loud before the Hornets fans could react.

Tyson Chandler stood firm and glared at Lin Sen, who did not back down.

This dunk completely inspired the morale of the Timberwolves, and both offensive and defensive ends burst into a completely different state.

Under Linsen's defense, Paul used more passes to control the game, and the Hornets also strengthened their care of Linsen.

Lin Sen's personal offense was limited under the defense of the Hornets, but other Timberwolves players benefited from Lin Sen.

At the end of the first quarter, the Hornets at home went from a lead of up to 9 points to a lead of only 3 points.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Lin Sen sat on the bench, while the Hornets were led by David West with the second team.

Eddie Griffin defended hard but couldn't stop David West's goal.

Fortunately, Mike James' condition is not bad, and the Timberwolves can keep the point difference within ten points.

Lin Sen didn't play again until 6 minutes into the second quarter, but Lin Sen's defensive object changed from Paul to former slam dunk king Mason.

Lin Sen didn't frown at all in the face of Mason, whose physical fitness was superb. His agility and speed gave him a certain advantage in the confrontation with Mason.

"Cossover, is Wood testing Dyce's ankle strength?" Bill Wharton said looking at Mason who was a little embarrassed.

After getting rid of Mason, Lin Sen went straight to the inside and faced the supplementary defense David West with a high toss.

In the next second, Garnett pressed the ball into the basket with both hands.

Byron Scott shook his head. He didn't expect that letting Mason defend would make Linsen play more relaxed. He immediately gestured to Paul on the court.

After Paul nodded, he dribbled the ball forward quickly.

After passing the ball to Mason, Mason immediately passed the ball back to Paul.

The moment Paul caught the ball again, Lin Sen stood in front of Paul.

Lin Sen looked at Paul, who was making a three-threat move, and didn't move at all in the face of Paul's right foot's continuous tentative steps.

Seeing that Lin Sen was unmoved, Paul began to dribble, and with the shaking of his shoulders, Lin Sen retreated a little bit.

Paul's three-point ability is very average. Although the shooting rate seems to be okay, the number of shots is very small, which is much worse than Lin Sen's three-point ability.

So Lin Sen was relieved to retreat a little, which made it easier for him to defend Paul's breakthrough.

However, what Lin Sen didn't expect was that Paul jumped up directly in front of him.

Lin Sen took a hasty step and immediately jumped up, reaching Paul's eyes with his right hand.

"The Chris three...not a shot, it's a pass."

In Hoffman's voice, Paul withdrew his shooting gesture in the air and directly transferred the ball to Peja in the opposite corner.

Peja didn't waste Paul's pass, and a clean three-pointer helped the Hornets extend their lead to 8 points.

"You don't really think I can shoot, do you? I'm not you." Paul smiled at Lin Sen.

Lin Sen rolled his eyes at Paul: "That's because you don't have the ability to shoot three-pointers."

"Who said no, my three-point shooting percentage..."

Before Paul finished speaking, Lin Sen turned around and walked towards the bottom line.

Back on the offensive end, after Linsen and Garnett cooperated in a pick-and-roll, Garnett shot and scored.

The pace of the game has also become faster. At the end of the first half, the Hornets led the Timberwolves by 6 points.

After the start of the second half, Peja, who had a good touch in the first half, seemed to have lost his touch in the locker room, missing five consecutive shots.

"Oh, Peja, what's the situation? Byron's face is almost pale when he misses five consecutive shots." Bill Wharton looked at Byron Scott and laughed.

David West also performed very mediocre under Garnett's care, but the Timberwolves' offensive efficiency was not high under the defense of the Hornets. In the third quarter, the two sides scored a total of 37 points.

In the fourth quarter, the game completely entered a white-hot state. The two sides competed for every point, and there was more physical contact.

The consumption of physical energy also increased accordingly. When the game came to the end of the game and there were 4 minutes left, Lin Sen felt that his physical energy had reached the limit.

At this time, the Timberwolves are still eight points behind the Hornets. Although the point difference is not big, if you want to take away the victory, you must do a good job of defense and then do a good job of offense.

Lin Sen stood on the three-point line with his hands on his knees, panting heavily, and looked up at Paul who was advancing forward.

"There seems to be something wrong with Wood's physical fitness." Hoffman said, looking at Lin Sen.

"Recently, the Timberwolves' games are very intensive, and Wood is a rookie. He must have never experienced such an intensive schedule in college. There must be some problems with his physical reserves. This is why rookies generally experience the rookie wall." Bill Walton answered. Said.

After Paul passed halftime, Lin Sen immediately stood up straight.

Lin Sen's eyes were fixed on Paul's waist. He knew Paul's offensive habits very well, but it didn't mean that he would be able to defend against them.

"coming!"

Lin Sen chanted softly, raised his weight, and separated his feet slightly.

Backing up a little bit, Lin Sen didn't stop until he was standing on the free throw line.

Paul's dribbling rhythm is getting faster and faster. After a forward change, the ball passes through Paul's crotch, and then Paul's body turns around.

Lin Sen didn't dare to hesitate, he kicked his right foot and slid horizontally to the left, trying to block Paul's attack.

At this moment, Paul suddenly pulled back.

Paul stepped back in front of Linsen and shot a jumper. Although Linsen jumped up, he still looked at the ball and sighed.

Swish!

There was a crisp net-cleaning sound, and Lin Sen smiled wryly.

"Wood's defense failed again. With 10 points and a double-digit lead, the Hornets' distance from victory is becoming clearer." Hoffman said, looking at the data on the big screen.

In the transition between offense and defense, Lin Sen dribbled the ball into the frontcourt, cruising outside the three-point line with the ball.

The Hornets' defense was too tight, and the Timberwolves' continuous running positions were all closely watched.

This made Linsen want to pass the ball and couldn't find a good receiver for a while, and Garnett, who wanted to pull out to cover, was also closely watched by Tyson Chandler.

The 24-second attack time passed by second by second, and Lin Sen clearly felt that his physical energy was draining sharply.

As time went by, Lin Sen felt a little anxious because he couldn't find a good passing line.

"Wood, come yourself!"

Devon Casey yelled at Lin Sen.

Listening to Devon Casey's voice, Lin Sen blinked, and the sweat dripped from his eyelids.

"do it yourself!"

Lin Sen gritted his teeth, his physical fitness seemed to recover a little at this moment, and the rhythm of dribbling in his hands also picked up.
