legendary point guard
Chapter 139 Five-game winning streak
Eddie Griffin stood on the sideline and passed the ball to Lin Sen, and Artest pressed forward again.
He didn't make a steal in the entire game. The steal he just made was his first steal against Lin Sen in the game, but he ended up getting his fourth foul.
"You have committed four fouls." Lin Sen smiled while dribbling.
"Two more times!" Artest replied coldly.
"It's not another one, it's the only one, and you can't guard against me."
Before Lin Sen finished his provocative words, he quickly passed the ball with his right hand to Eddie Griffin who was standing in the middle distance.
Artest knew that Lin Sen would never stay where he was after passing the ball, so he immediately increased his concentration.
Just as Artest thought, Lin Sen started running the next second after passing the ball.
Artest followed immediately, but his speed was far inferior to Lin Sen. He had to rely more on the interceptions of his teammates to follow Lin Sen.
Eddie Griffin caught the ball and faked a shot. Kenny Thomas immediately raised his arm, but Eddie Griffin collected the ball instead of shooting.
He directly swatted the ball and forced his way past Kenny Thomas. At this time, Lin Sen slowed down slightly in the face of other players from the Kings team, but it looked more like he was blocked by other players from the Kings team.
Had to slow down.
When Linsen pulled from the left side of the arc to the right bottom corner, Eddie Griffin on the left side of the penalty area passed the ball to Jaric who pulled above the free throw line.
Garcia immediately pounced on Jaric, but Jaric did not shoot the ball himself but directed the ball directly to the right corner.
"Continuous moves, Wood has a chance!" the on-site commentator shouted as he looked at Lin Sen running towards the bottom corner.
At this time, the closest defender to Linsen was Taylor, who was standing on the left side of the penalty area. Taylor glanced at Madsen and immediately decided to intercept Linsen.
Facing Taylor's defense, Lin Sen took a step towards the three-point line. Taylor immediately changed his pace, but the next moment Lin Sen ran towards the three-point line again.
Although this kind of running gave way to Taylor, it undoubtedly gave Artest a chance to pursue him. The panting Artest gritted his teeth and chased after him again.
At this time, the ball passed by Jaric also came to Lin Sen.
"Damn rookie!" Artest cursed, using his last strength to speed up. In order to prevent Lin Sen's shot, Artest's speed at this moment completely reached his personal limit.
A smile flashed across Lin Sen's lips, this was the moment he had been waiting for.
Lin Sen stretched out his hands to catch the ball steadily, glanced at the three-point line at his feet, and raised the ball high with both hands in a shooting posture.
Seeing Lin Sen not far away making a shooting gesture, Artest, who was one meter away from Lin Sen, immediately jumped up.
His straight right arm directly covered the ball raised by Lin Sen, and the ferocious-looking Artest appeared in Lin Sen's peripheral vision.
Musselman on the sidelines narrowed his eyes when he saw Lin Sen lifting the ball in the corner, and was shocked. This rookie was trying to commit a foul.
"don't want!"
Musselman shouted to the court.
The distance of one meter disappeared in the blink of an eye. Artest, who was jumping in the air, also realized that something was wrong, because the rookie's shooting speed had never been so slow.
When Musselman's voice reached his ears, Artest immediately realized something was wrong and wanted to take his hand back.
But as he pounced sideways on Lin Sen, he could retract his hands but the momentum of his body could not be retracted.
At this time, Lin Sen also jumped up. He didn't even aim at the basket but jumped directly diagonally, throwing his whole body towards Artest who was rushing towards him.
Artest was annoyed and wanted to dodge, but Lin Sen's initiative to catch up made his dodge futile.
Bang!
Lin Sen's body collided with Artest's, and the huge impact pushed Lin Sen back to the floor.
However, at the moment it fell, Lin Sen threw the ball out casually. Whether he scored or not was not his concern at all. What he wanted was the referee's whistle.
beep!
With a whistle, Lin Sen fell to the floor, and Artest fell beside him.
The ball thrown by Lin Sen at will fell far away from the basket, which made many fans who expected Lin Sen to play three plus one a little regretful.
"YES!"
Lin Sen jerked forward, clenched his fist and let out a low roar. Although he wanted to foul Artest, he didn't expect it to go so smoothly, and Artest received his fifth foul.
Musselman shook his arm fiercely. Artest's five fouls were something he didn't expect, and there were still nearly five minutes left before the end of the game.
Let Artest stay on the court? He was worried that Artest would be intimidated by five fouls.
Let Artest go? He was worried that others would not be able to contain the rookie.
For a moment, Musselman was in a dilemma, frowning and asking the referee for a timeout.
"Now it's only once."
Lin Sen said with a smile to Artest who stood up. Without waiting for Artest to answer, he turned around and walked to the sidelines.
Artest gritted his teeth. He knew what five fouls meant, but there was nothing he could do about it at the moment.
"Wood, great job!" Devin Casey patted Lin Sen on the shoulder.
Although the Timberwolves are only leading by three points at the moment, Lin Sen will have three free throw opportunities. With Lin Sen's free throw shooting rate, he believes that he will take at least two of them.
Whether the Kings put Artest on the court or off the court, it will affect the Kings' defense. This is an excellent opportunity for the Timberwolves.
"Wood is so smart that he doesn't look like a rookie at all. It's obvious that this foul was intentional. Even experienced beasts were caught in Wood's trap." The on-site commentator said with a smile.
The atmosphere in the entire Target Center also changed significantly. The fans cheered loudly, which was completely different from the silence in the second quarter.
After the timeout, Musselman put Artest off the court. Apparently he was worried that Lin Sen would catch Artest and hit Artest with five fouls.
Lin Sen returned to the court and made three free throws, increasing his single-game score by 25 points.
But Musselman soon regretted it, because Garcia's defense couldn't guard Linsen at all.
After two consecutive breakthroughs and assisting his teammates in shooting, Linsen succeeded in a layup directly under Garcia's defense and also caused a foul on Garcia's thug.
Musselman put Artest back on the court to no avail. When there were fifty seconds left in the game, the Timberwolves expanded their lead to double digits for the first time and officially declared the end of the game.
Devin Casey replaced Lin Sen with Mike James. Lin Sen raised his arms above his head to applaud the fans in the audience.
"MVP! MVP! MVP!"
Lin Sen walked off the court with his head held high as the audience cheered unanimously for MVP.
Garnett, who was at home, laughed when he heard the cheers that should have belonged to him.
When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the audience burst into applause.
Five consecutive victories, this is something that no one expected, but now it has actually happened, and the person who led the Timberwolves to achieve it was the rookie who seemed a little immature.
