legendary point guard

"Five crazy minutes, listening to the cheers from the audience, Greg was almost going crazy." Barkley said with a smile.

Although he was leading by eight points, Popovich was absolutely dissatisfied with the situation. He was leading by 17 points but was only eight points away from being chased, and his opponent was the Timberwolves, who were only a rookie.

More importantly, the rookie still scored goals in almost the same way, which Popovich absolutely cannot accept.

"I don't know how Greg will arrange the next defense." Kenny Smith looked at the Spurs bench curiously.

"Well done!" Devin Casey smiled and patted Lin Sen on the shoulder.

The timeout passed quickly and the players from both sides reappeared.

Although the Timberwolves were still 8 points behind at the moment, Lin Sen's performance in the second half made the fans at the scene full of confidence. They seemed to have seen Lin Sen lead the team to complete this impossible 17-point comeback.

Ginobili, who replaced Michael Finley, directly attacked with the ball, and Jaric's defense was easily defeated.

"Manu's offense is still so sharp. He hit a two-pointer and San Antonio regained the lead by 10 points, but I am more looking forward to the Timberwolves' offense and the Spurs' defense." Kenny Smith said.

Just like the second half, the Timberwolves continued the same tactics as before, but the Spurs' tactics obviously changed. Man-to-man defense became a zone defense, and the players rotated quickly, which made the Timberwolves' offense extremely difficult.

But in the end, Linsen found an opportunity relying on Eddie Griffin's screen. However, the moment he took the shot, he was interfered by Ginobili who rushed forward, and the ball hit the basket directly.

"The Spurs' defense has improved significantly from just now. I don't know how the Timberwolves will deal with it next." Barkley said.

"How do you feel? Don't think you can keep running like a mouse, you yellow-skinned mouse." Bruce Bowen, who returned to the offensive end, said to Lin Sen.

"What about you? A stray dog ​​that finally found a home." Lin Sen shot back without showing any signs of weakness.

Duncan's mid-range shot hit the frame, and Madsen grabbed the defensive rebound and immediately handed it to Lin Sen.

Bowen never expected that he would be compared to someone like this by a rookie. Looking at Lin Sen's back, Bowen showed a fierce look.

What Linsen didn't expect was that when he returned to the offensive end, he was almost attacked by Bowen.

If he hadn't happened to notice Bowen's foot at the moment of shooting and deliberately gave way, otherwise he would have been injured after falling.

However, the intensity changed at the moment of release, and the ball hit the basket directly.

Bruce Bowen ignored Lin Sen's glare and ran forward with a little regret.

Looking at Bowen, Lin Sen thought quickly. He didn't want to be injured by Bowen's black foot like some people.

But asking him to do something dirty to Bowen, Lin Sen couldn't do it, even if he never thought he was a good person.

After all, small moves and trash talk are more about serving the essence of the game and are not divorced from the spirit of basketball. However, hurtful moves such as black feet and black hands completely violate the spirit of sports. However, this does not mean that Lin Sen has completely exposed the truth.

.

As the game continued, the Spurs' defensive changes made it no longer easy for Lin Sen to score, but Lin Sen also began to combine attack and pass.

They did not blindly pursue goals. Although the Timberwolves failed to bring the score closer, they did not allow the Spurs to widen the point difference.

Unconsciously, the game came to the last five minutes of the fourth quarter. At this time, the away San Antonio Spurs led the Timberwolves by 8 points, 98:90.

"The time before the end of the game is getting shorter and shorter. If the Timberwolves still don't have a good way to counterattack, then the suspense of tonight's game can basically be over. For the Spurs, they have no pressure after all and are 8 points ahead." Kenny

Smith said while looking at the score on the big screen.

"Actually, I'm more concerned about Wood. In my opinion, the outcome of the game is not much suspense at all. To be honest, I don't doubt that the current Minnesota lineup has succeeded in finishing last." Barkley said with a smile.

"Okay, Charles, as you said, the game is indeed a bit boring, and even the on-site director is not willing to show us what we love to watch." Kenny Smith joined in.

Lin Sen did not rush to pass the ball but faced Bruce Bowen's defense head-on. After such a long period of defense, Bowen also knew how to better deal with Lin Sen's movement.

That is, he cannot stick too tightly, otherwise he will easily be pulled away by Lin Sen's speed.

However, Bowen's defense undoubtedly facilitated Lin Sen's breakthrough. He calmly looked at Bruce Bowen in front of him. Lin Sen's steady dribbling with his left hand was sure to succeed this time.

"Rookie, why do you want to feel my defense again? If that's the case, I'm very happy with your choice, because you finally act like a man and no longer solve problems by running away." Bowen said with a smile.

"Your trash talk is just like your character!" Lin Sen glanced at the insider and said.

Bruce Bowendo couldn't react for a moment. When he did, he immediately stared angrily at Lin Sen, wishing he could eat Lin Sen directly.

"Why, you realize how right I am, Mr. Blackfoot."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Sen pulled the ball back with his left hand, leaving Bowen no time to react. This time he wanted to attack on his own.

Bowen reacted quickly. As soon as Lin Sen pulled the ball with his left hand, his right foot immediately took a small step forward and immediately occupied the space left by Lin Sen.

But Lin Sen didn't care, because his intention was not to open up space.

The ball came to the right hand from behind, and the left foot stepped out almost at the same time, hitting the left side of Bruce Bowen's body.

"Rookie, your breakthrough is so simple. Except for your speed, you are worse than shit."

Bruce Bowen was talking trash while making quick defensive changes.

In terms of footwork changes between defenses in the league, Bruce Bowen is definitely at the top level.

However, Lin Sen also realized this. In the first three quarters of the game, he suffered several losses from Bowen's defensive steps.

Lin Sen swatted the ball with his right hand and moved his left side backward at the same time. The ball hit the ground and bounced to his left hand.

In the next moment, Lin Sen's right foot cut directly to the right side of Bowen's body.

Seeing Lin Sen's change, Bowen immediately took a half step back and then quickly slid to try to block Lin Sen's breakthrough.

"Bruce's footsteps changed too quickly, and Wood's continuous movements did not throw off his defense." Kenny Smith said while looking at the court.

However, just as Bowen quickly made a defensive change, the ball passed through his crotch and reached his right hand, and at the same time he retreated with his left foot.

"Step-back shot?"

Bowen thought subconsciously and immediately took a step forward with his left foot to block the space Lin Sen retreated from.

Lin Sen did not care to appreciate Bowen's defensive ability, but made another change. The ball passed from behind to his left hand again, and at the same time, his left foot that retreated directly stabbed Bowen's left side.

In an instant, Lin Sen and Bowen made rapid changes in attack and defense.

No matter how quick Bowen's defensive reaction was, he still lost the initiative.

He moved quickly, but his defense was on the verge of failure.

"Old bird, you can't guard against me!"

After finishing his words, Lin Sen did not directly seize this good opportunity to rush in, but made another change of direction.

Lin Sen's words directly stimulated Bowen's tenacity and he forcibly adjusted his steps, but his body could not keep up with his consciousness at all.

The moment he reached out with his left foot, he lost his center of gravity and fell to the floor.

Snapped!

There was a soft sound from his left ankle, and Bowen almost couldn't help but scream. The pain in his ankle was unbearable.

"Goodbye, old bird!"

He stepped back outside the three-point line, glanced at Bruce Bowen who was on the floor with a slightly painful expression, looked at the basket in the distance and jumped up.

Whoosh!

The basketball dived into the basket under Bowen's unwilling eyes.
