legendary point guard

Kevin Garnett takes long strides that look like a meteor.

Lin Sen started running towards the front court from the other side, and the Bucks only had Michael Redd at the front.

Apart from Reid, the Bucks' closest player to Garnett is Ruben Patterson, with the others following closely behind.

Seeing the fast break, the fans cheered wildly.

Originally, he wanted to fight one by one, but when he saw Garnett rushing down from the other side, Lin Sen deliberately slowed down.

Originally, Garnett was positioned ahead of Linsen, and Linsen slowed down, so the two of them were almost going hand in hand.

"KG participated in the fast break. This scene has not been seen for a long time." The on-site commentator said.

Seeing Garnett enter the three-point line, Lin Sen directly threw the ball inside.

The high arc makes it impossible for Michael Reed and Ruben Patterson to steal the ball.

There were still two steps away from the reasonable collision zone, and Garnett jumped into the air.

With super long arms and good bounce, when he reached the highest point, Lin Sen's pass also came to his hands.

With his arms slightly bent, he firmly grasped the ball with both hands and smashed the ball towards the basket.

Amid the cheers of thousands of people, the ball passed through the net like a cannonball, hit the floor hard and bounced up.

After letting go of the rim and landing, Kevin Garnett turned around and looked at Lin Sen, who was passing the ball to him from beyond the three-point line.

It seemed that he had not tasted such a perfect alley-oop for a long time.

"Don't you mean that this is a pass I gave you?"

Lin Sen shouted at Garnett, who was walking over.

Garnett glanced at Lin Sen: "If you were a child, I would consider giving you a lollipop."

"Then you should keep it for yourself."

Garnett looked at Lin Sen's running back with an imperceptible smile flashing across his lips.

This was the first game that he and this rookie really played together. Although it was only a preseason game, in less than two minutes, he already liked this rookie.

Bucks head coach Terry Stotts also didn't expect that his rookie would continuously let Mo Williams become the background.

He knows that Mo Williams is not good defensively, but it doesn't make it difficult for the offense to advance in front of a rookie.

"What are you doing? Brace yourself, if you like the bench I will agree with you." Terry Stotts yelled at Mo Williams on the court.

Last season, they stopped in the first round of the playoffs. This season, he hopes that the team can take a step closer, so he attaches great importance to the preseason. He hopes to see the good condition of the players from the preseason.

Mo Williams nodded. The coach's roar made him calm down a little. He couldn't help but admire the maturity of the rookie in the distance. Few rookies are so adaptable to the NBA.

Mo Williams, who calmed down, also showed the demeanor that a star defender should have.

With the help of Villanueva's screen, Mo Williams shot directly from mid-range.

Linsen controlled the tempo of the game and looked very experienced, which satisfied Devin Casey off the court.

It even felt like Lin Sen had exceeded his imagination.

However, he was not satisfied with Lin Sen's breakthrough, especially when he saw Lin Sen lost his center of gravity and fell heavily to the floor because of the breakthrough to the basket. He turned his head and said to Peterson, the coach in charge of shooting training: "Starting from tomorrow, every day

We must spare half an hour for Wood to practice mid-range shooting."

Lin Sen on the court had no idea that he was being watched completely by Devin Casey.

Lin Sen's performance in six minutes of playing time can be described as amazing.

With Lin Sen's control, the Timberwolves' offense was impressive.

In particular, the excellent cooperation between Lin Sen and Garnett excited the thousands of fans and the Timberwolves coaching staff at the scene.

If it weren't for Michael Reed's Reuben Patterson three-pointer, the Timberwolves would have taken the lead in the first quarter.

However, Devin Casey doesn't care that the two sides are tied at the end of the first quarter. In his opinion, as long as it plays a role in harmonizing the team's lineup, it doesn't matter even if they lose all preseason games.

Just out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Ricky Davis sitting on the chair, and Devin Casey couldn't help but frowned.

If you have to find faults with the first quarter, Ricky Davis is undoubtedly one of them.

The poor defense is something that cannot be changed, but Ricky Davis is obviously outside the Timberwolves controlled by Lin Sen, and looks like he is not on the same team as the other Timberwolves players.

Lin Sen seems to have nothing on the court. If Ricky Davis has a good chance, he will pass the ball over, but Ricky Davis will not.

He partnered with Lin Sen for 4 minutes in the entire first quarter, and not a single ball was passed directly through his hands to Lin Sen.

Last season, Ricky Davis averaged 19 points per game. In his vision, Ricky Davis will still become an important firepower for the Timberwolves in the new season.

As for rookie Lin Sen, if he can maintain this state, Devin Casey will definitely hope that Lin Sen will be the team's starter and Mike James will provide firepower for the team from the bench.

But if this continues to be the case between the two, then starting both of them at the same time is tantamount to breaking an arm for the Timberwolves.

Lin Sen did not reappear until four minutes left in the first half, but he made a mistake in his first pass after reappearing.

The reason is that his return pass after breaking through the inside line went directly to the sideline.

"How did you pass the ball?"

Ricky Davis walked up and shouted at Lin Sen.

"How do I pass the ball? That's how I pass the ball. Didn't you see it?" Lin Sen showed no sign of weakness, but he knew that family scandals should not be made public, so he was unwilling to say anything to Ricky Davis on the court.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with the feedback he just sent back.

Devin Casey off the court frowned deeply when he saw this scene.

Lin Sen just broke through and passed back, which is no problem. Logically speaking, as long as Ricky Davis is focused, he will not make a mistake without receiving the ball.

But Lin Sen's pass just now was indeed a bit sudden, because Lin Sen didn't look back from the beginning to the end when he broke through and passed the ball.

When he took off leaning on Bogut, he hit the ball directly with his right hand without looking at anyone.

If Lin Sen turned back and passed the ball, there would be no such problem.

But once he turns back, there is no doubt that the buck will catch him in advance.

Passing aside, there is no doubt that the conflict between the two is the main problem.

This also became the question that Devin Casey thought about the most throughout the game.

The Timberwolves' first preseason game of the new season ended with a victory.

Lin Sen, the rookie No. 6 overall pick, played 24 minutes and made 2 of 4 three-pointers, 1 of 3 mid- and long-range two-pointers, 3 of 5 when he got to the basket, and also made 5 of 6 free throws.

Scored 19 points in the game.

However, the only mid-range shot he made was because he accidentally stepped on the three-point line when shooting a three-pointer.

In addition, Lin Sen also sent out 8 assists, 4 steals and grabbed 5 rebounds.

Although there were three turnovers, Devin Casey didn't care very much because Linsen was very satisfied with his passing in this game and did not make too many fancy passes.

But Devin Casey didn't know how uncomfortable Lin Sen was holding back. He enjoyed passing the ball the way he needed.

The only bad thing was that he and Ricky Davis clashed again in the locker room after the game. If it weren't for the presence of Kevin Garnett, the conflict between the two might have escalated.

In the Timberwolves' next six preseason games, Linsen played the last five as a starter.

After seven preseason games, Lin Sen averaged 17.5 points, 7.4 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 3.2 steals per game. His shooting percentage also reached a very good 45.4%, and his three-point shooting percentage also reached 43.2%. The only difference in statistics is that

The good ones are 3.2 turnovers and 2.4 fouls per game.

From the data point of view, Lin Sen's performance can be described as perfect. After all, he is a rookie.

But judging from specific games, he still has a lot of problems.
