legendary point guard
Chapter 195 The former home game, the current away game
Just as the outside world was hyping up super rookie Lin Sen against his old club, the Minnesota Timberwolves, the NBA officially announced the results of the second round of All-Star voting.
Lin Sen, who was traded from the Western Conference to the Eastern Conference, ranks second among Eastern Conference defenders in terms of votes. If this advantage can be maintained until the end, Lin Sen will become the starter of the Eastern Conference All-Star Team.
Although Lin Sen's performance in his rookie season has been excellent so far, this number of votes still made many people publicly say that Lin Sen does not have such qualifications.
Experts discovered that although the Orlando Magic won the last four games of this five-game winning streak, that is, in the four games after Lin Sen joined the Magic, except for the first game in which the Dallas Mavericks were recognized as a strong team, the Atlanta Hawks and Seattle Super League
The Sonics and Portland Trail Blazers are both weak teams.
However, the Magic were originally not considered a strong team or even just a mid-level team in the eyes of most people. However, in these four games, these basketball experts have discovered that the Orlando Magic has quietly transformed.
A careful analysis of the reasons for the transformation of the Magic is not only the joining of new players such as Chris Webber, but also the key factor is Lin Sen, who just joined the Magic.
In the eyes of most pseudo-fans, they absolutely do not believe that Lin Sen will be the fundamental reason for the Magic's transformation, because during the Timberwolves, Lin Sen averaged 24.1 points, 10.1 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 3.6 steals per game.
This statistic is like that of a superstar, but in the four games since Lin Sen arrived with the Magic, Lin Sen's scoring average has plummeted from 24.1 points to 16.75 points, and his average of 12.75 assists per game does not seem to be a big increase.
The steal data and rebounds are basically the same as before.
In the eyes of pseudo-fans, what they care about most is data. Lin Sen's data has basically not increased. His score has dropped by more than 7 points. So they naturally think that Lin Sen's condition is very bad.
But in the eyes of experts, Lin Sen has undoubtedly changed a lot. Although Lin Sen averaged 10 assists per game during the Timberwolves period, it goes without saying that experts and even fans will not associate Lin Sen with point guards. They
Apart from Lin Sen's off-court tidbits, the one who pays more attention to is Lin Sen's scoring on the court.
Experts will also say that most of Lin Sen's passes come from breakthrough passes, and there are few penetrating master-level passes. His playing style is not that of a point guard, but more like a shooting guard.
But now these basketball experts suddenly discovered that after joining the Magic, Lin Sen became more like a traditional point guard.
It's not just a simple increase in the number of assists, but the fact that the Magic's offensive operations have become more organized under Lin Sen's control.
The increase in assists cannot simply reflect Lin Sen's transformation. Someone once said that master point guards can often think of the next three or four steps, and top-notch point guards can think of the next two steps. And excellent point guards have more
I think of teammates who are in the open space. Their assist statistics are very good, but their role cannot be compared with that of master point guards.
The Magic's Lin Sen seems to have the potential to become a first-class point guard in organizing the team's offense.
"Woodlin - Towards a Great Guard" - "nba official website".
In this article, NBA officials provide a detailed analysis of Lin Sen's changes after coming to the Magic, from scoring to passing. At the end of the article on the official website, they bluntly stated that Lin Sen is moving towards a great defender.
Although ESPN had long ago placed the title of future No. 1 point guard on Lin Sen's head, it regarded this more as a joke and even used it to ridicule Lin Sen.
Now the NBA official website said this, which made many people take it seriously. At the same time, NBA officials officially announced that Lin Sen, who led the Magic to five consecutive victories, won the best player in the Eastern Conference last week.
This award was not awarded to Dwight Howard, who averaged 22 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks for the Magic in these four games. Instead, it was awarded to Lin Sen. NBA officials also gave the following evaluation: If we talk about Orlando before Christmas
The Magic are a very competitive team in the future, so the arrival of Wood Lin has completely activated Dwight Howard and the Orlando Magic. His arrival has brought immediate qualitative changes to the Orlando Magic, making the Orlando Magic a
A strong contender for the Eastern Conference playoff spot. As Wood Lin continues to grow, we can foresee the brilliant future of the Orlando Magic, and we have reason to believe that this Weekly Award will definitely not be Wood Lin's last.
.
Just on January 5th, after the Magic team finished pregame in the morning, a reporter appeared in front of Howard.
"Dwight, what do you think about missing out on your first Weekly Award? Do you think you are more qualified to win this award?"
Dwight Howard still smiled like a big kid: "No, I don't think so. Can't you see that it's Wood's arrival that makes my scoring easier? It's natural for Wood to be the Player of the Week."
Howard's answer disappointed the reporter, and also relieved Stan Van Gundy, who was not far away. He had been worried that Howard's friendliness was only temporary, but based on his recent observations and Howard's words and deeds, it seemed.
Howard has indeed put aside the struggle for the most team leader. Although the team has not completely made it clear that Lin Sen is the leader of the Magic, various aspects have revealed this idea, and the reason why they dare not make it clear is Howard's existence.
Stan Van Gundy believes it is necessary to talk to Howard to test whether Howard is really willing to let Lin Sen become the team leader. Once it is confirmed that Lin Sen is the team leader, Van Gundy believes that Lin Sen will have a greater sense of responsibility.
It's definitely better for the team.
Regarding tonight's game, Stan Van Gundy did not dare to be careless. Although Lin Sen came to the Magic, the Timberwolves were in very good shape after the trade.
Although they lost the game against the Spurs, they only lost by 5 points.
But then they defeated the Hornets, where Lin Sen failed to win. From Nelson to Ricky Davis to Garnett, they were all in good shape. For this game, Stan Van Gundy believed that both he and Devin Casey wanted to win.
to victory.
This game is absolutely as important to both sides as a playoff game. The losing side can foresee that they will be criticized for making a stupid deal after the game, and no one wants to be that stupid side.
Regarding Linsen's return, the entire Minneapolis team, from management to fans, showed great kindness. Many fans even shouted for Linsen to come back outside the Timberwolves hotel.
"He can still have an impact on us." McHale said as he watched the fans entering the stadium one after another.
Devin Casey naturally knew what McHale was talking about. After Linson left, the attendance at the Target Center could not be compared to before.
Even though the team's record was excellent, the house was never full once. The most attendance was only 19,300 people, and tonight's tickets were all sold out two days after Lin Sen was traded.
"Are you sure?"
"The team is in good shape, kg, Ricky..."
"I hope to win!" McHale directly interrupted Devin Casey. When Devin Casey said this, he understood that Devin Casey was not sure.
Just as Stan Van Gundy thought, McHale didn't want to lose this game at his home court.
"Coach, I need to go out for a while."
Stan Van Gundy, who was giving a pre-game speech, looked at Lin Sen. His eyes were full of questions.
Lin Sen shook the phone in his hand: "I'm going to pick up a friend. I told you that I'm going to take two days off after the game against the Nuggets. That friend is my advertising partner."
"Go back quickly, don't let me have to fight to find you at the beginning of the game!"
"Of course not, she is right outside the arena." After saying that, Lin Sen put on his down jacket, took the five tickets given to him by the Timberwolves and walked out immediately.
"I bet it must be a beautiful woman." Howard said secretly.
"I also believe so." Chris Webber said with a smile.
"Dwight, if you can reassure me like Wood, I will also give you such a privilege. I said it before and I still say it now." Stan Van Gundy looked at Howard and said with a smile.
Howard shrugged and said helplessly: "I give up this privilege."
The locker room immediately burst into laughter.
Lin Sen soon saw Adriana Lima waiting for him. What surprised Lin Sen was that Lima was wearing the same black windbreaker that he had given Lima to wear.
Lin Sen's black trench coat had a different flavor on Lima: "Why are you still wearing this dress?"
"Why, doesn't it look good? Don't you realize that I look very good in this dress? You must not have seen the photo album I took recently. They all said that the photos I took wearing this windbreaker look very good, better than the previous ones.
Everything is fine." Lima walked beside Lin Sen under the gaze of many people.
Just when Lin Sen was about to say something, Lima's subtle voice penetrated Lin Sen's ears: "It was taken in a vacuum."
Lima, who was labeled domineering, spoke in such a charming and soft voice, which made Lin Sen unaccustomed to turning his head. The domineering look in Lima's eyes was completely gone, and he was filled with gentleness.
Lin Sen was slightly startled: "Okay, let's go quickly. Fortunately, they left five tickets for me. I'll give you one. Go quickly. I'll go back to the locker room first."
"Four more?"
"No one wants it! I'm preparing to give it to the fans outside the stadium later."
Hearing Lin Sen's answer, Lima smiled: "Then I'm leaving now, see you later!"
As he spoke, he kissed his index finger and made a playful finger hook towards Lin Sen.
"Is this also our first time in Minnesota?"
"Who knows, it's not that many times, but it's definitely the most meaningful one." Bill Walton's old partner Hoffman looked at Bill Walton and said.
Lin Sen stood in the tunnel for away players to enter the field. This was the first time since he entered the league that he appeared as an away player at the Target Center. At first, he thought he could stay in Minnesota for the rest of his life.
Shaking his head, the lights at the exit of the players tunnel instantly went out.
The live DJ's voice rang out, and Howard, who was first in line in the line, trotted out under the thin and almost inaudible voice.
Huge boos penetrated Lin Sen's ears, and Lin Sen couldn't help but wonder if he would be like this when he appeared on the stage. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
