legendary point guard

"WOOD! WOOD! WOOD!"

The cheers in the Target Center slowly gathered into a uniform WOOD. Lin Sen stood up from the bench and greeted the fans again.

The Kings are undoubtedly the most disappointed, and Ron Artest is undoubtedly the most frustrated. The rhetoric before the game and the process of the game to the final result are completely two different situations.

Even though he was a veteran, he was too embarrassed to face the media directly and got into the locker room early, while Lin Sen, the winner, enjoyed the cheers that belonged to the winner.

"Woodlin, winning streak ongoing" - "Yahoo Sports".

"Minnesota's New Leader—Rookie Wood" - "ESPN".

"Mature, seasoned, different rookie" - "Los Angeles Times".

"Lock the future, what can't the No. 1 point guard do?" - "NBA Official Website".

"There is no goddess of victory, only the piece of wood" - "The New York Times".

"Who doesn't love Wood Lin" - USA Today.

…

Countless media have poured praise and attention on the Timberwolves.

Five consecutive victories, which is almost unimaginable for a team that is weak and lacks a leader. Even if there are weak players in it, it is incredible, but now it is so real.

Lin Sen, the biggest contributor to the Timberwolves' five-game winning streak, is undoubtedly the one who attracts the most attention. For the first time, Lin Sen has truly entered the hearts of fans across the United States.

Even at the beginning of the season, he had a continuous outstanding performance: against General Biao Arenas and completed a buzzer beater, helped the team defeat the Clippers at a critical moment in Los Angeles Staples, and used a buzzer beater to help the team defeat the Clippers in the last game.

Championship favorites San Antonio Spurs.

None of this has allowed Lin Sen to gain the attention he does now. This is the first time that Lin Sen has not relied on his scandals to become famous in the United States, although countless people are far more concerned about his scandals than his performance on the court.

But at this moment, both experts and fans are beginning to take it seriously. Countless people are looking for the secret of Lin Sen's ability to lead the Timberwolves forward, because the Timberwolves are really a team that does not look like they can win consecutive games.

From a personal impression, Lin Sen is really not the kind of person who seems to be able to single-handedly decide the game, at least not yet.

Simply looking at the game data, Lin Sen, apart from ranking first in the league with a dazzling 3.5 steals, does not have any particularly outstanding defense.

The newly developed mid-range shots can basically be ignored at present. Even though the three-point shooting rate currently ranks first in the league with 49.5%, if you carefully analyze the shots, most of them are unsatisfactory and unreasonable shots.

What is commendable is that in addition to the 7.4 free throws per game with a free throw shooting rate of 93.4%, the 68.5% basket shooting rate results in an average of 9.4 points per game.

If you want to get more accurate analysis, it is the matter of those data experts.

Having led the Timberwolves to four consecutive victories over the Memphis Grizzlies, Milwaukee Bucks, San Antonio Spurs and Sacramento Kings in one week, he became a favorite for Player of the Week.

As a rookie, Lin Sen has been nominated for the Best of the Week three times this season, but has not won the Best of the Week once.

Against the Grizzlies, he scored 32 points, 11 assists, 6 rebounds and 4 steals.

Against the Bucks, he scored 25 points, 14 assists, 5 steals and 5 rebounds.

Against the Spurs, he scored 27 points, 8 assists, 3 steals, 6 rebounds and 1 block.

30 points, 9 assists, 4 steals and 5 rebounds against the Kings.

In four games, he averaged 28.5 points, 10.5 assists, 5.5 rebounds and 4 steals per game. Such statistics are undoubtedly dominant, and Lin Sen's shooting percentage is as high as 57.5% from three-point range, 49.3% from free throws, and 97.5% from free throws.

Although the average of 3.2 turnovers and 2.6 fouls per game is slightly eye-catching, it is obviously negligible compared with his contribution to the team.

Just the day after the game between the Timberwolves and Kings, the NBA officially announced the winner of the Eastern and Western Weekly Most Valuable Player Award last week.

Lin Sen and LeBron James were elected respectively, which is undoubtedly the best recognition for Lin Sen.

The NBA Star Card Company also launched a set of 30 Lin Sen star cards on this day.

Includes 15 cards from Linson's Wake Forest era and 15 NBA cards.

Although the 30 cards are few, they include everything from Linson's first appearance at the University to his speech on the NBA draft stage and his debut dunk, the buzzer beater against the Wizards, the key steal and fast break against the Clippers, all the way to Linson's final game.

Kill the Spurs.

What the star card company didn't expect was that Lin Sen's star card had more than 100 sets of pre-orders on its official website within an hour of its launch.

From 12 noon to 12 o'clock that night, the total number of Linsen star card sales and reservations exceeded 10,000 sets in the 12 hours.

Long queues formed outside many stores across the United States, and stores selling player cards in major cities were almost all sold out.

"I'm sorry, are you here to buy a Wood Lin star card? If you want to make a reservation now, the store has no stock in stock." A black boss looked at the young man who walked into the store and said.

Such scenes appear in many places, and the Wood Effect appears again after the Wood Effect on Twitter.

"Another Wood effect. I think companies that have hired Wood to endorse him should hurry up and launch Wood's products. Those that haven't approached him should contact his agent David Falk as soon as possible. The later the delay, the higher Wood's worth will definitely be."

Wall Street senior economic analyst Rick Howard said truthfully in an interview with the Wall Street Journal.

This kind of sales volume is something that the star card company has never expected. Except for the star cards launched after Michael Jordan retired for the second time, it is Lin Sen's sales volume that reached such sales volume in one day.

Many male fans on Facebook show off photos of the Lin Sen star cards they have purchased, and many women show off in a way that makes people's blood rush.

Putting Lin Sen's card above her cleavage, kissing Lin Sen on the card with seductive red lips, pouting and taking photos with Lin Sen's card, all kinds of photos highlighted Lin Sen's status in women's hearts.

On Lin Sen’s Twitter, many people expressed their love directly @林sen.

"Who doesn't like Wood like this? I always think Wood will become the best guy in the future, but we have no other plans at the moment. I think you will definitely see Monta's outstanding performance."

Nelson, who expressed his affection for Linson at the beginning of the season, said this to reporters before the game between the Warriors and Clippers.

But his words clearly aroused people's imagination. Many people believed that Nelson was signaling to the Timberwolves front office that Monta Ellis was performing well and could be used as a bargaining chip to trade Linson so that the Timberwolves would not suffer.

But this is all speculation. Not many people believe that the Timberwolves can't see Lin Sen's future.

For a while, the United States seemed to be in a state where everyone loved Wood Lin.
