legendary point guard

Lin Sen returned to Orlando with the Magic at noon the next day. The playoffs will start on the 22nd, which is three days later.

However, the Orlando Magic's first game will start on the 23rd. Previously, the Eastern Conference rankings were so chaotic that it was impossible for the Magic to prepare for the playoffs in advance.

Now that the rankings have been determined, four days are particularly important. The Magic can prepare well for the game against the New Jersey Nets. Playing at home can also make the inexperienced Magic seem a little more calm, at least they don't have to start with boos.

The teams that missed the playoffs at the end of the regular season are busy with the draft two months later and the team's rebuilding or future projects, while the playoff teams are all immersed in the playoff atmosphere.

Media across the United States also began to summarize the 2006-2007 regular season, and Lin Sen undoubtedly became one of the most mentioned people.

Among the countless articles mentioning Lin Sen, Hollinger's article has become the most recognized and discussed.

"Woodlin, the rookie destined to go down in history!" - ESPN's top data expert Hollinger.

"A yellow-skinned backcourt player, first of all, I don't have any discrimination, I just elaborate on a point that is almost universally recognized, that is, do you think a yellow-skinned, 6-foot-33-inch yellow man can gain a foothold in the NBA?

I think most people, even themselves, would not believe that any of them could do it, but such a person came into our view.

When I started observing Wake Forest's talented guard Chris Paul two years ago, suddenly a strange name broke into my field of vision, a yellow-skinned backcourt player with a height of only 6 feet 33. Not as big as Yao.

Tall. I thought he would slowly end his four years of college on the bench like most of the yellow men who entered the NCAA. However, gradually I discovered that I was wrong.

He has rare physical fitness among yellow people, excellent control, no lack of impact and due publicity. At that time, I thought that maybe this yellow-skinned boy could play, of course I was referring to the NCAA.

However, it turned out that my original prediction was wrong, because he not only played but also achieved unimaginable achievements. I still remember when my colleagues put the title of the future No. 1 point guard on his head, it was too

Many people thought it was a joke and I still remember what I thought at the time.

As a recognized data expert. I have calculated a series of data. The data does not lie. It tells me that Wood Lin's future will definitely not be ordinary. Of course, this premise is based on his ability to maintain this state and make progress.

.

But the reality completely exceeded my expectations. It was unimaginable that as a rookie, as a yellow-skinned backcourt player, he not only successfully established himself in this league, but also became one of the most shining players.

Disdainful people will say that he gets more attention because of his skin color, and that he gets more attention because of the overwhelming scandals off the court. This is all true, but what cannot be ignored is that in this

He played an outstanding game behind the scenes, and he used his own strength to prove that he is not only a person who attracts attention, but also a guy with sufficient strength.

I have not commented on the game. But I have been studying Wood Lin, the first yellow-skinned kid in the NBA who can truly play in the backcourt. As the season progresses, I am more and more convinced that he can play his future.

.

Let's take a look at his rookie season. He played 77 times, averaging 35.4 minutes per game, contributing 22.5 points, 10.7 assists, 2.8 steals, 4.6 rebounds and 0.2 blocks.

He averaged 16.8 shots per game, including 6.5 three-pointers and 8 free throws.

The shooting percentage is as high as 58.5%, the three-point shooting percentage is 44.4%, the free throw percentage is 92.7%, and the average is 2.4 fouls and 3.1 turnovers per game.

He ranked 17th on the scoring list with an average of 22.5 points per game, and ranked second only to Steve Nash who averaged 11.6 assists per game with 10.7 assists per game. Not only that, he also set an NBA rookie season assists record.

Mark Jackson's record was broken by a yellow man 20 years later. I don't think anyone would have thought of this, not even God.

The 2.7 steals are 0.6 higher than the second-ranked Baron Davis. This list has lost suspense almost from the beginning of the season. Although countless people will criticize his steal data as gambling, but when you

If you really watch his game, you will be surprised to find that the success rate of his gambling steals is so high. What does this mean?

Just like he entered Wake Forest University with high scores, he has a super high golf IQ and is always extra calm behind the seemingly gambling.

Just like his unreasonable three-point shots, his 44.4% three-point shooting rate is the best proof.

He averaged 2.9 three-pointers per game, second only to Ray Allen's 3.0, and ranked first in the league with 224 three-pointers in the entire regular season.

Wood Lin also set a new record for the number of three-pointers made by a rookie in a single season with 224. The previous record was 158 made by Kerry Kittles in the 1996-97 season.

The average of 7.5 free throws per game ranked fourth behind Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, Gilbert Arenas, and Allen Iverson.

His statistics are so dazzling that it is unbelievable. Can you imagine that these are the statistics of a rookie? Can you imagine that these are the statistics of a short player with yellow skin? When people's memory still remains that there are only big yellow players.

When he was able to make a name for himself, Wood Lin used his practical actions to tell everyone that even a small man could do it.

When people's memory still lingers on the idea that black and white people can fly, Wood Lin used his flights to tell everyone that yellow people can fly too.

When I looked through sixty years of NBA history, looking for those rookie seasons that were equally shining, I found them.

1. ‘Big O’ Oscar Robertson, 1960-1961 statistics: 30.5 points, 10.1 rebounds, 9.7 assists.

2. Wilt Chamberlain, 1959-1960 statistics: 37.6 points, 27 rebounds, 2.3 assists.

3. Michael Jordan, 1984-1985 statistics: 28.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists.

4. Alcindor Jabbar. 1969-1970 statistics: 28.8 points, 14.5 rebounds, 4.1 assists.

5. Larry Bird. 1979-1980 statistics: 21.3 points, 10.4 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.7 steals.

6. Allen Iverson. 1996-1997 statistics: 23.5 points, 7.5 assists, 4.1 rebounds, 2.1 steals.

7. LeBron James, 2003-2004 statistics: 20.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.6 steals.

When I compare Wood Lin's numbers to theirs, and do what many of his peers like to do, Wood Lin is the first player in history to enter the 190 club (sum of field goal percentage + three-point shooting + free throw percentage) in his rookie season.

, is the first player in history to score 22 points, 10 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals in his rookie season.

However, I am unwilling to do this, because I believe that he will truly become a superstar in the future rather than such simple data.

Wood Lin, who was born in 1987, is not yet 20 years old. He is still so young. Why should I not look forward to his future?

I have never said so confidently about evaluating a person. Now I want to break my convention for him: Wood Lin, a rookie destined to go down in history!"

Although Hollinger has been with ESPN for less than three years, he is well-known among American NBA experts for his excellent data analysis skills. His article about Lin Sen undoubtedly pushed Lin Sen to a very high position.

In the eyes of many Lin Senhei, they are happy to see such praise, because the higher the praise, the worse the fall. In Lin Senmi's eyes, this is undoubtedly the greatest recognition of Lin Sen.

"Although it is right, I don't need such an article to appear." Stan Van Gundy rubbed his head. The appearance of such an article will only make his opponents study Lin Sen more, which is not what he wants.

For Stan Van Gundy, he wished that the media would pay attention to Lin Sen’s off-court news every day. Although Lin Sen’s off-court news once gave him a headache, he gradually discovered that Lin Sen’s off-court news would never affect him.

His condition on the court makes him feel relieved. More importantly, when people focus on Lin Sen off the court, it undoubtedly reduces everyone's attention to Lin Sen's true strength.

When Lin Sen appears on the court, opponents will often subconsciously place their off-court impression on Lin Sen. Under such circumstances, when Lin Sen shows his strength, it is like a secret weapon of the Magic.

Although there have been many articles praising Lin Sen, there has never been any article like Hollinger's.

Stan Van Gundy believes that the New Jersey Nets will definitely take it more seriously when this article appears. Rubbing his head, Van Gundy continues to think about what to do against the Nets' Three Musketeers.

"The 2006-2007 NBA regular season officially ended last night. The Dallas Mavericks, who failed in the Finals last year, recorded a record of 67 wins and 15 losses under the leadership of Dirk Nowitzki.

Before the game started last night, everyone was shocked by the chaotic rankings in the East and West, and a few key games last night were undoubtedly enough to make all fans crazy. The game was so exciting, let us review it together first."

As Erin Andrews spoke, a edited video appeared on the big screen behind her.

Sam Cassell's key jump shot to lead the game, Arenas' sudden burst, Baron Davis' key pull-up layup, and finally Lin Sen's goal.

"With the end of last night's game, all rankings in the Eastern and Western Conferences have been determined. The top three in the Eastern Conference are the Detroit Pistons without Ben Wallace, who have 58 wins and 24 losses, and the Orlando Magic, led by Wood Lin, who is having a dream season, with 55 losses.

The Cleveland Cavaliers, who lost to the Magic in the last game with 54 wins and 28 losses, ranked third. The Toronto Raptors ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference with 47 wins and 35 losses and ranked first in the Atlantic Division. The Chicago Bulls ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference due to division reasons.

Ranked fifth with 48 wins and 34 losses. In the last game of the season, they defeated the Washington Wizards, who were directly competing against the New Jersey Nets. They ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference with 45 wins and 37 losses. The New Jersey Nets ranked seventh with 44 wins and 38 losses. They lost to Los Angeles in the last game.

The Clippers' defending champion Miami Heat ranked eighth with 44 wins and 38 losses."

The big screen behind Erin Andrews immediately showed the top eight in the Eastern Conference.

“The first place in the Western Conference is the Dallas Mavericks with 67 wins and 15 losses, the second place is Steve Nash’s Phoenix Suns with 61 wins and 21 losses, the third place is GDP’s San Antonio Spurs with 58 wins and 24 losses, and the mm team’s Houston

The Rockets ranked fourth with 52 wins and 30 losses. The Utah Jazz, with both New Utah and Utah, ranked fifth with 51 wins and 31 losses. Followed by the Denver Nuggets of Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson with 45 wins and 37 losses.

Kobe Bryant's Los Angeles Lakers were ranked seventh in the Western Conference with 42 wins and 40 losses. The Golden State Warriors, which relied on Bron's key ball to defeat the Dallas Mavericks in the last game, took the last train to the Western Conference playoffs with 42 wins and 40 losses.

The Los Angeles Clippers, who defeated the defending champion Heat in the last game, unfortunately failed to enter the playoffs with 41 wins and 41 losses. The tenth-ranked New Orleans Hornets also missed the playoffs with a 50% winning rate of 41 wins and 41 losses.

race.

It is worth mentioning that the Minnesota Timberwolves, which traded Wood Lin, ultimately saw their record decline after Wood Lin left the team and missed the playoffs, ending an otherwise bright season with 38 wins and 44 losses."

The ranking of the top eight in the Western Conference appeared on the right side of the big screen behind Erin Andrews, "With the end of the regular season, the Lakers' Kobe Bryant continued to lead the scoring team with an average of 31.6 points per game. He was also the only one this season.

Among players who have averaged over 30 points, Kevin Garnett of the Timberwolves became the rebounding leader for the fourth consecutive time with an average of 12.8 rebounds per game."

“The Phoenix Suns’ Steve Nash led the league in assists for the third consecutive year with 11.6 assists per game, while the Denver Nuggets’ Marcus Camby led the league in blocks with 3.3 blocks per game.

.Rookie Wood Lin became the new steals leader with an average of 2.7 steals per game."

As Erin Andrews finished speaking, the top ten players with major statistics this season appeared on the big screen behind him.

"The end of the regular season means that the more competitive playoffs are about to begin. The first round of the playoffs will start on April 22. The Cleveland Cavaliers, third in the Eastern Conference, will face the old rival Washington they have encountered in the past two years.

Wizards, I don’t need to say anything to everyone to imagine how exciting this game is.

Although the Toronto Raptors, who are first in the Atlantic Division, are ranked fourth, their record disadvantage forces them to go to the away game to challenge the Chicago Bulls, who own Big Ben. Chris Bosh and Ben Wallace have a direct conversation.

The Detroit Pistons, number one in the Eastern Conference, will face the defending champion Miami Heat. Let us wait and see whether Miami has a championship heart.

In the fourth game, the Houston Rockets, fourth in the Western Conference, will face their old rivals, the Utah Jazz. Can the Yao-Mai combination break the curse of the first round? Let us witness the arrival of the playoffs together!"

Finally, "Basket World" ended with last night's game highlights, and the media war of words had already begun before the game started.

The only difference between the Nets lineup with Jason Kidd, Vince Carter, and Richard Jefferson and when they entered the Finals for two consecutive years is that Kenyon Martin became Vince Carter.

Vince Carter, who joined the Nets from Toronto, is undoubtedly the biggest expectation of New Jersey fans. They are looking forward to the half-man, half-god Vince Carter leading the Nets to create glory together with Kidd and Jefferson.

Vince Carter joined the Nets halfway through the 2004-05 season and the Nets entered the playoffs in eighth place in the Eastern Conference. However, they were swept in the first round by O'Neal, who joined the Heat.

In the 2005-06 season, Carter, who had been running in with the Nets for half a season, performed even better personally, and the Nets also entered the playoffs as third in the Eastern Conference. After defeating the Pacers 4:2 in the first round, they met the Heat again, and were eventually defeated.

The Heat defeated 4:1.

This season, although the Nets' regular season performance was not particularly outstanding, their three core players, Jason Kidd, averaged 13 points, 9.2 assists, 8.2 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game, undoubtedly super guard statistics.

Vince Carter played the entire season with 25.4 points, 4.8 assists, 6 rebounds and 1 steal. His half-man, half-god style remains the same.

Although Richard Jefferson scored 16.5 points, which was slightly lower than the 22 points last season, it was more due to injuries. Before the end of the regular season, Jefferson had fully recovered and played in the last ten games.

He averaged an outstanding performance of 21 points per game.

The outstanding performance of the Three Musketeers and Krstic inside convinced the New Jersey media and fans that even though the Orlando Magic ranked second in the Eastern Conference, they still could not stop the Nets from advancing.

"Youth and experience, New Jersey wins 6 games" - "New Jersey Star".

"Who is Wood Lin?" - "New Jersey Star-Chronicle".

"So what if second in the East, New Jersey targets semifinals" - "New Jersey Tribune".

…

How could the Orlando media be deterred in the face of the New Jersey media's intimidation?

"Nets? Bad Net!" - "Orlando Sentinel".

"Six games out? Is New Jersey talking about itself?" - "Orlando Star".

"I can't wait for the playoffs to start. I really want to see how they beat us. Yes, they have Vince Carter, they have Jason Kidd, they have Richard Jefferson

, but we have Wood, Lin, Dwight, Chris, Scottie, and Dennis, who else do they have? Orlando must win!" an Orlando fan said during an interview with a local Orlando radio station on the road.

Every fan interviewed subsequently swore that the Magic were unstoppable.

They all believe that although the current Magic team is almost a new team, they still firmly believe that the New Jersey Nets cannot stop the Magic's progress.

When Lin Sen was watching the Nets video, David Falk's call made Lin Sen stunned: "The US team invited me? Did my ears hear it correctly?"

"Of course you didn't. Jerry Colangelo clearly invited you to join the U.S. team's training list. Once the playoffs are over, the U.S. team will start training and then form a team to participate in this year's U.S. Championship. He told me that if you don't make it

By accident you will be one of the 12-man roster."

"It's incredible, I never thought about it, and you know David..."

"Yes, I know, but Wood sometimes you should actually put aside some old concepts, but from another perspective, I prefer you to join China, even though their ability is not enough for you to get a particularly high level in FIBA.

This honor cannot be compared with the American team." David Falk on the other end of the phone paused. "But once you join the Chinese Men's Basketball Team, I can imagine that your influence in China will increase exponentially. This

Helps our wallets.”

"But considering your career, I suggest you join the US Men's Basketball Team. Of course, this needs to be considered by yourself. Jerry Colangelo said he will arrive in Orlando tomorrow or backstage to interview you. He hopes you will seriously consider it.

"

"I will think about it carefully." Lin Sen thought for a while, "David, I heard from Brother Yao that China also wants to invite me to join. Have they contacted you?"

Lin Sen is now an American national, but he has yellow skin and the blood of Chinese descendants. Although his memory in China is limited and his memory in the orphanage is very bad, he has been taught to be patriotic since he was a child.

So Lin Sen had some thoughts in his mind, especially after Yao Ming talked to him. He didn't agree to Yao Ming at that time, but he didn't think that the United States would invite him. This was far beyond his expectation, especially since the United States had

There are too many outstanding defenders.

"Don't take it to heart. No matter who you join, it's your freedom. Forget about the mess. People should be selfish. In addition, I found two bodyguards according to your request, but you need to see for yourself. A Chinese veteran who has been retired for five years

A black man in the Special Forces who used to be a SEAL."

"We'll talk about it in a few days. I'm a little confused right now."

Lin Sen hung up the phone, and the loneliness hidden in his heart welled up in his heart.

"America, China!"

"China or the United States, how should I choose?"

"Carolina, I'm David."

"David? Why did you call me suddenly?" Carolina was surprised. He didn't expect David Falk to call him.

"I think Wood needs you now. The US team is considering inviting him to join the US men's basketball team. You know he is a yellow-skinned person. Most of them have unique Chinese plots, so he is now in a tangle. If you have time, you can watch it.

To see him."

"I know, I'm going to book a flight ticket now!" Carolina hung up the phone and immediately asked her assistant to book a flight ticket.

Since then, Carolina has reduced her work and stayed with Lin Sen all the time when she was not working. This time, she had just left Lin Sen less than ten days ago.

I don’t know who revealed the news that Jerry Colangelo wanted to invite Lin Sen to join the United States Men’s Basketball Team, which caused a sensation in the entire United States.

Although Lin Sen is now an American, at this time Lin Sen's skin color still makes many people unable to accept the invitation of the US Men's Basketball Team to join him, not to mention that there is no shortage of players in the US men's guard position.

Lin Sen suddenly stood on the forefront of the storm, and at this time, Li Wei, the chairman of the China Men's Basketball Team, led the team to the United States. In name, it was to strengthen cooperation with the NBA, but in reality it was to consider Yao Ming and invite Lin Sen to join the China Men's Basketball Team.
