legendary point guard

"Sixty seconds, five points, and no possession of the ball. If the rookies want to complete the reversal, they must do a good job in the next defense. Only by doing a good job in the next defense can they be qualified to say that they are reversing. Although losing is not a problem for the rookies.

It’s shameless, but I think the rookies will not be willing to let their whole night’s hard work go to waste at the last moment.”

What Hoffman said is absolutely right. Before the game, the rookies didn't feel much about losing. After all, the strength of both sides was there, but now they are absolutely unwilling to accept losing.

Everyone had serious expressions on their faces, and Lin Sen also had a serious look on his face as he stared at Paul, who was dribbling the ball forward.

As Paul advanced, Lin Sen retreated little by little and finally stood on the three-point line.

There is almost a body position distance between him and Paul. Even though Paul scored a three-pointer tonight, Lin Sen is still more willing to believe that Paul chooses to break through and pass the ball. Even if Paul makes a three-pointer, Lin Sen believes that his reaction can still make up for one body position.

distance.

"Wood, save your energy, I'm going to treat you tonight!" Paul steadily controlled the ball and was not in a hurry.

"When I win, I'll treat you!" Lin Sen said and stared at the ball in Paul's hand.

For the second graders, consuming time means getting closer and closer to victory. Paul smiled: "I knew you would say that."

When the second-year attack time entered ten seconds, Lin Sen's attention was completely focused.

Paul's dribbling rhythm completely accelerated, and Lin Sen, who was extremely familiar with Paul, naturally knew that Paul's next move was coming.

Lin Sen puffed out his chest and completely withstood the charging Paul, raised his arms high and moved quickly.

Paul, who was leaning on Lin Sen to cut inside, suddenly stopped, and Lin Sen's steps slowed down a little.

Seizing the gap where Lin Sen was a little slow to react, Paul stopped suddenly and threw the ball out like he was riding an arrow.

Lin Sen jumped up as hard as he could and tried his best to touch the ball in the air with his right hand raised high.

Bah!

The nail of his middle finger scraped the bottom of the ball. Lin Sen couldn't help but feel happy when the nail scraped the bottom of the basketball.

"Rebound!"

Paul was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Lin Sen could still touch the ball, and immediately shouted to the inside line.

Under Linsen's interference, the ball hit the front of the basket and bounced out. Rudy Gay rushed into the basket and grabbed this crucial defensive rebound.

beep!

The whistle blew and the referee signaled the first grader to request a timeout.

"38 seconds, 5 points behind. At least the rookies' defense was successful this time. The most important thing for the first-year players is the offense. Only by completing the offense can they keep hope. Of course, they must also defend well next.

"Hoffman said as he looked at the first-year players surrounding Kobe.

"Wood, what's the plan next?" Kobe stared at Lin Sen.

Lin Sen looked at Kobe in surprise, thinking he heard wrongly.

But Kobe's eyes told him that he heard correctly, and everyone else also looked at Lin Sen.

Lin Sen met everyone's gaze and thought for a moment: "Leave the ball to me!"

Hearing Lin Sen's answer, a smile flashed across Kobe's lips. At least he appreciated Lin Sen's unafraid to take responsibility, but he also looked forward to Lin Sen taking effective practical actions.

Lin Sen thought for a while: "Deron and Chris will definitely double-team me and defend me. I don't have a particularly good way for now, but I need a space to shoot. I hope everyone can help me. As long as there is space, then I can

Just put the ball in the basket."

Everyone knows what Lin Sen said, but the team in front also provided cover for Lin Sen, but the second-year players' defense speed was too fast. Often Lin Sen just got rid of one of Paul or Deron.

The other one will come up, and the one who was thrown away will find the nearest defender as quickly as possible.

"I know we didn't do well in the front, but I had a bold idea, give me more cover, I move, I believe I can get out of position with everyone's help, as long as I get out of position I can

Throw the ball in."

Lin Sen's tone was extremely resolute, and his resolute tone also gave the first-year rookies renewed confidence in Lin Sen.

"Just follow what Wood said." Kobe nodded and simply drew three consecutive screen tactics on the tactical board as quickly as possible.

Before the third line was drawn, the referee's whistle sounded.

"Come on, kill them!"

Kobe stretched out his hand and shouted.

The first-year teammates immediately put the ball up: "Kill them! Kill them!"

"My ears are correct, right? The first-year rookies seem to be shouting to kill them? Are they still so confident now?" Bill Walton's face was full of disbelief.

"Unless my ears are wrong, that's what they shouted just now." Hoffman shrugged, "Maybe they found a good way to break the defense."

"When serving in the front court, should you choose a quick two-pointer or a three-pointer? If you score two points, you will still be three points behind, which is far from enough for rookies.

If there are three points, then there are still two points left. Relatively speaking, the situation is better, but in this lineup, they only have Wood who has good three-point ability.

But the sophomores definitely don’t want to watch Wood shoot three-pointers, and I believe they must have emphasized this point off the court." Bill Walton said, looking at Linsen who was closely followed by Deron and Paul.

As the referee blew the whistle, Bargnani raised the ball in his hand, and the first-year rookies immediately started running.

Deron and Paul were like dog-skin plasters, clinging to Lin Sen. Lin Sen's continuous running failed to find an opportunity to catch the ball.

However, Lin Sen did not directly intend to catch the ball at all. He used his off-ball movement to drive away Deron and Paul to give his teammates the chance to catch the ball.

"Brandon ran out!" Hoffman shouted as he looked at Roy who ran out of the receiving position.

Seeing Roy successfully running out of position, Bargnani passed the ball immediately.

When Roy received the ball, the sophomore defensive formation immediately shrank.

However, Lin Sen was still followed by Deron and Paul. It was obvious that the sophomore was determined to keep an eye on Lin Sen.

Bargnani ran into the court after serving. Roy and Bargnani handed the ball to Bargnani hand in hand.

Bargnani, who was standing outside the three-point line, lifted the ball directly, and David Lee was shocked.

Everyone knows that the reason why Bargnani was selected by the Raptors with the first overall pick is because Bargnani is called the next Nowitzki. Although Bargnani's shooting rate from the outside is far lower than that of Lin Sen, he is still the same

There is a certain degree of accuracy.

Roy passed the ball to Bargnani and ran towards the top of the arc along the three-point line. Lin Sen turned around and ran towards the top of the arc at the same time.

Roy's running formed a short cover for Lin Sen. This short cover helped Lin Sen temporarily get rid of Deron's marking, but Paul still followed closely.

Facing David Lee, who was rushing towards him, Bargnani collected the ball, bowed and cut into the three-point line.

Just when Granger wanted to throw away Rudy Gay in his defensive area and go up to defend Bargnani, Bargnani directly passed the ball back to Linsen.

However, Lin Sen did not keep the ball in his hands, but immediately passed it back to Roy at the top of the key.

Bargnani, who passed the ball to Lin Sen, returned to the high post at the same time. Lin Sen, who passed by David Lee, used Bargnani's high post cover to directly escape Paul's pursuit.

Just when Granger wanted to cover up Linsen, Rudy Gay also accelerated and tried to slip to the basket from the baseline.

Taking advantage of Granger's reaction time, Lin Sen cut directly to the inside.

When Lin Sen slipped out from the inside, there were no defenders around him.

"Follow me!" James shouted to the court from the sidelines.

Bogut chased Lin Sen hard. Just when Bogut was about to catch up with Lin Sen, the ball in Roy's hand flew straight to the right corner.

Bah!

The legendary generation under his feet violently rubbed against the floor, and Lin Sen stopped abruptly in the right corner.

Use your right foot as the axis and turn around on the spot.

Lin Sen didn't hesitate, he turned over and took off.

Deron tried his best to run towards Lin Sen, and Bogut also jumped up, trying to put maximum pressure on Lin Sen.

Looking at Bogut rushing towards him, Lin Sen raised the ball high and kept raising his body.

The basket blocked by Bogut slowly appeared within Lin Sen's field of vision, and the basket in the distance was as wide as the sea.

With a flick of the force, the ball left his fingers, Bogut's palm fanned into the air, and the ball flew straight into the air.

As hundreds of millions of people around the world watched, the ball drew a perfect arc in the air and fell to the basket.

Whoosh!

There was a crisp sound of wiping the net, and the timer stopped at 17 seconds.

"Wood, Wood, still Wood! No matter how hard he runs, the whole team is serving Wood. He has lived up to the expectations of his teammates, no!" Bill Walton shouted loudly.

"This three-pointer is so important. There are still 17 seconds left and 2 points are left. The suspense is back! Is it a foul tactic or a pressing first? A foul tactic is more likely." Hoffman also felt that his own

The heart beats faster with the intensity of the game.

James used the team's last timeout to be conservative, and Kobe also used this timeout to quickly arrange defensive tactics.

"First press, everyone runs and don't give them a chance to catch the ball. Once they successfully catch the ball, they will immediately foul." Kobe emphasized loudly.

In addition to the fans who came specially to the scene, this was the first time for local Las Vegas fans to experience an NBA-style critical moment up close. The atmosphere of the entire Thomas & Mack Center solidified at this moment, and those who had previously watched in front of the TV

People who bought tickets and sold them regretted it immensely.

beep!

A whistle blew, and the last 17 seconds began.

"The progress of the game was completely beyond our expectations. There are still 17 seconds after the timeout, 17 crucial seconds." Bill Walton stared closely at the players walking towards the court.

Bogut, who had a poor free throw shooting, has been replaced by Ellis, and David Lee stood on the sideline and prepared to serve. (To be continued.)
