legendary point guard

If Brad Miller hadn't hugged Artest tightly, things might have gotten worse.

Lin Sen tried his best to hide it, but there was still a hint of fear on his face.

"Does that guy want a fight? Does he think we're in that stupid place in Auburn Hills?"

"As long as he dares to do something, don't even think about walking out of Minnesota alive."

…

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and soon all kinds of harsh boos were directed at Artest.

"I'm going to fucking tear him up, that damn rookie!" Artest still didn't calm down even though he was late for a technical foul.

Brad Miller and Raheem pushed Artest to the sidelines, and Musselman's face became extremely ugly.

Originally, he wanted to win a victory here. Before the game, he was very confident. He believed that as long as he contained the rookie Wood, the Kings would win as a matter of course.

But now he was at a disadvantage after only three minutes of the game. Musselman stared at Artest, who was gradually calming down.

"Ron, there are many ways you can take revenge, but it definitely shouldn't be with fists. If you want revenge, then you should calm down, otherwise you don't have to appear in this game or even in future games."

Although Artest is very impulsive, he is not the kind of person who is completely brainless. Artest nodded after listening to Musselman's words.

Lin Sen stood on the free throw line and made the technical foul ball steadily.

Musselman replaced Artest with Francisco Garcia, who committed two fouls and a technical foul. Although this season is only Garcia's second season, Garcia showed his performance last season.

his potential.

In addition to his all-around skills, what Musselman appreciates most is Garcia's defense. He hopes that Garcia's playing can contain Lin Sen.

Just as Musselman expected, Garcia did a good job defending Linson for the first time, and in the end the Timberwolves missed the first goal since the start.

The game gradually entered a state of mutual offense and defense, but the Kings relied on the tremendous pressure brought by Brad Miller to Madsen and the outstanding performance of Kevin Martin to narrow the point difference little by little.

When the time came to the ninth minute of the first quarter, both sides entered the rotation of the second lineup.

At this moment, the only main lineup of the Timberwolves on the field is Lin Sen and Jaric. The Timberwolves and the Kings tied at 24:24.

Lin Sen looked at Garcia in front of him and stopped in his tracks.

Since Garcia came on the court, he has experienced an almost different defense than Artest.

There is no tough physical confrontation or crazy little moves, but only stable defense and persistent pursuit, just like a piece of brown sugar that cannot be shaken off.

This kind of defense also put Linsen's offense to the test, and Linsen focused more on organizing the team's offense.

Reaching out to receive Jaric's pass, Lin Sen performed the most basic triple threat action.

Garcia waited in front of Lin Sen with open arms. He did not relax his vigilance because Lin Sen's performance in the past few minutes was not outstanding. This made Musselman on the sidelines very satisfied.

In Musselman's plan, Garcia's stability will definitely become an important part of his Kings system.

Lin Sen half-bowed his body and took a few tentative steps with his right foot.

Garcia pulled his right foot back slightly, forming a misalignment with his left foot. This position was to prevent Lin Sen from making a sudden breakthrough.

Another test step, but unlike the previous times, Lin Sen's right foot was very fast, and the basketball shoes made a harsh friction sound with the floor.

Garcia couldn't help but frown. At this moment, Lin Sen suddenly retracted his right foot and at the same time raised the ball with both hands.

However, Garcia did not panic at all. Instead, he took a small step forward with his right foot and raised his right arm high without any intention of jumping.

Lin Sen was also used to Garcia's solid defense. He quickly collected the ball, bowed his body and hit the ball quickly to the floor.

Garcia immediately half-turned and stepped back to defend. Seeing Garcia's defensive changes, Lin Sen swatted the ball with his right hand. The ball passed from behind to the left hand side. At the same time, he stepped out with his right foot and got directly stuck on Garcia.

The right side of the body.

He swatted the ball with his left hand, then took a step with his left foot, accelerating violently.

Garcia quickly retreated to try to block Linsen's breakthrough, and rushed two steps close to Garcia's body. Linsen suddenly retreated and stopped, and Garcia was caught off guard and about a meter and a half appeared between him and Linsen.

spacing.

Quickly collecting the ball, Lin Sen jumped up in front of Garcia.

Garcia immediately took off in a hurry, but it was too late. Lin Sen knocked the ball out before Garcia could pounce on him.

The basketball jumped high over Garcia's fingers and flew to the far basket.

Along with the sound of the basketball hitting the net, a burst of white waves appeared on the net.

"YES!"

Lin Sen clenched his fist and roared. This was his first pull-up jump shot tonight. Although it was not as exciting as the last game against the Spurs, it still made him excited.

Devin Casey on the sidelines couldn't help but nodded when he saw Lin Sen hit the first pull-up jumper tonight. He believed that through continuous efforts, Lin Sen would make up for this shortcoming.

The Kings' counterattack began quickly, but Kevin Martin's pull-up jump shot hit the basket. Kevin Martin waved his hand in annoyance as he watched the jumper hit the basket.

Greg Smith under the basket took the defensive rebound and immediately passed it to Lin Sen above the free throw line.

After receiving the ball, Lin Sen immediately accelerated. Garcia was the only King player in front of Lin Sen.

Facing Lin Sen, whose speed was completely increased, Garcia moved quickly to try to block Lin Sen's fast break, but still failed.

Lin Sen swatted the ball, pulled the ball, turned around and accelerated, and Garcia was left behind by Lin Sen.

After Garcia was thrown away, it became a luxury to pursue the defense. He could only watch Lin Sen speeding towards the frontcourt.

All the attention of the audience was directed to Lin Sen, who flashed across the Target Center Arena like lightning.

Under the spotlight, Lin Sen rushed towards the three-point line like the wind. He was getting closer and closer to the three-point line. Looking at the basket in the distance, Lin Sen began to adjust his steps.

The moment he stepped into the three-point line, his dribbling right hand suddenly flipped his wrist, and the ball flew directly from his hand and flew to the backboard not far away.

"Relay dunk?"

Many people thought of this word at this moment.

With his left foot heavily planted one step away from the free throw line, Lin Sen threw himself into the air.

The ball hit the backboard and bounced back. Lin Sen raised his right hand high and pulled it behind his head, his body stretched into a full bow.

When Lin Sen reached the highest point, the ball came right in front of him.

He caught the ball steadily with his right hand and smashed the ball toward the basket with a fierce force.

Bang!

With a strong tug on the basket, Lin Sen jumped to the floor.

"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

The stadium erupted with uniform cheers. Lin Sen, who was under the basket, looked at the Kings bench and raised his right hand.

The index finger of his right hand pointed directly at the Kings bench. Everyone knew what Lin Sen was doing.

Artest, who had calmed down on the bench, suddenly became angry again.
