legendary point guard

"Wood, you play at the beginning of the fourth quarter, but you allocate your own strength. The last moment is the most critical." Stan Van Gundy looked at Linsen and said.

Lin Sen nodded: "No problem, I know what to do."

"That's good, Grant, you and Eddie continue to play, pay attention to the offense..." Stan Van Gundy quickly explained, while Lawrence Frank on the other side of the technical table was also quickly making arrangements.

Although the team is only four points behind the Magic, which is two two-pointers, this point difference is very small and looks easy to chase. However, the Nets played the role of chaser for three quarters and were still in this role.

This made Frank a little depressed, so he planned to seize the opportunity at the beginning of the fourth quarter when both teams were competing with the second lineup to catch up or even overtake the score.

"Vince, you came on the field at the beginning of the fourth quarter. The team needs your offense. I won't say much else. You should know what to do." Frank looked at Carter and said.

"I will." Carter nodded. At the end of the third quarter, he rested for more than three minutes and recovered a lot of his physical strength. He also wanted to help the team catch up with the seemingly small 4-point difference as soon as possible and play catch-up. He knows how bad the role of a shooter can be, especially as the game time becomes less and less and the pressure will continue to increase.

"The game is about to start in the fourth quarter. The 4-point difference is not big, but New Jersey has been catching up for three whole quarters. Let us wait and see whether they can catch up in the fourth quarter." Hoffman said.

beep!

A whistle blows and players from both teams return to the court.

"Oh, Wood did not continue to rest off the court but returned directly to the court. Vince on the Nets did not sit off the court either. Lawrence planned to catch up during this period. But Stan's arrangement obviously exceeded Lawrence's expectations. ." Bill Walton said.

As Bill Walton said, Frank really didn't expect Lin Sen to come on the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter and grabbed Nakba who was about to play: "Bosjan, you are in charge of Wood. Lin Sen should keep an eye on him." Let him take action at will, even at the expense of your offense."

"Lawrence pulled Persian and it seemed like he had to explain something temporarily. I think he should be responsible for guarding Wood. After all, Lawrence certainly didn't expect Wood to come on the field at the beginning of the fourth quarter," said Hoffman. .

At this time, the Nets' lineup was Clifford and Mickey Moore in the post, Bosjan was at small forward, Vince was at shooting guard Nakba, and Eddie House was at point guard for Carter.

The Magic's insiders are Darko Milicic and Tony Barty, and the small forward is the team's sixth man Grant Hill. The back line is made up of veterans Eddie Jones and Lin Sen who joined the team in the mid-term.

The fourth quarter started with a magic ball. Milicic sent the ball to Lin Sen, who immediately dribbled the ball forward.

Lin Sen, who led the frontcourt, did not rush to attack but stopped at the center circle line waiting for his teammates to get into position. Nakba stood on the three-point line waiting for Lin Sen.

Milicic did not directly position in the penalty area but stood directly outside the three-point line. Linsen also started to use Milicic's cover to get rid of Nakba's defense.

Milicic, who was covering for Linsen last night, did not stay where he was but ran directly to the left along the three-point line, while Grant Hill, who was standing at a 30-degree position on the left, ran to the top of the arc at the same time.

Milicic's running just helped him block Vince Carter who was guarding him, and Linsen, who used the screen to get rid of Nakba, did not attack the inside but directly passed the ball behind his head.

Grant Hill, who was positioned above the free throw line, steadily caught Lin Sen's pass. Grant Hill, who was temporarily unguarded, threw the ball directly.

"Grant hit a mid-range shot, found opportunities with continuous screens, and the score difference was six points. New Jersey was hit hard at the beginning of the fourth quarter. They must work harder." Bill Walton said loudly.

Offensive and defensive transition. Vince Carter received a pass from Eddie House and faced Grant Hill's defense with a feint, then jumped up and shot.

"Vince fought back powerfully. Listening to the cheers from the audience, you can tell that New Jersey fans expect this kind of Vince," said Hoffman.

Lin Sen, who returned to the offensive end, dribbled the ball past halftime. Instead of keeping the ball to the end, he handed the ball directly to Grant Hill. Nakba stayed close to Lin Sen.

Lin Sen, who was leaning on Nakba, swayed and turned to Nakba's left side. Nakba immediately moved his steps, but Lin Sen pulled his body back and ran away from his right side.

Milicic, who received a pass from Grant Hill on the inside, immediately passed the ball out. It was too late for Nakba to pursue the defense. Eddie House immediately threw away Eddie Jones, who was defending him, and pounced on Lin Sen.

.

Eddie Jones did not stay where he was and wait for other Nets players to switch defenses. Instead, he ran directly to the three-point line in the corner. Lin Sen passed the ball directly.

"Opportunity!" Bill Walton shouted.

However, Eddie Jones failed to hit an open three-pointer from the bottom corner, and the ball bounced out of the frame.

"Dakko tip-up!" Milicic jumped up as soon as the ball left the basket. With a tap of his right hand, the ball flew back to the basket again. Unfortunately, Milicic's tip-up also failed to hit the ball.

It turned around and slid out.

Seeing this scene, Frank immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Mickey Moore handed the ball to Eddie House and the Nets quickly turned from defense to offense.

Vince Carter once again received the pass and faced Grant Hill's defense, holding the ball with both hands between his waist and abdomen, creating the most basic three threats.

Lin Sen, who was on the right side of the three-point line, looked sideways at Carter and Hill. Grant Hill stared closely at Carter. Carter made continuous tentative steps and forced a breakthrough.

When Lin Sen saw Carter forcing a breakthrough, he immediately moved to the top of the arc. Eddie Jones, who was guarding Eddie House, quickly shrank his defense to cover Carter.

Facing Jones' double defense, Carter did not attack to the end but chose to distribute the ball to the top of the arc. Waiting at the top of the arc was Eddie House.

"Vince scores the ball, and Eddie House has a chance at the top of the arc!" Hoffman shouted.

"That's not necessarily true," Bill Walton said with a smile.

Seeing Carter's pass, Lin Sen, who was more than two meters away from Eddie House, jumped out like a cheetah.

House stretched out his hands and was about to catch the ball when a figure rushed up. House subconsciously went to grab the ball, but a palm appeared directly between him and the ball.

Snapped!

"Wood. Wood steals!" Bill Walton shouted.

There was no good fast break opportunity. Lin Sen simply pulled the ball into his arms.

Frank on the sidelines waved his arm in annoyance. This opportunity just now was too good. If House hit this three-pointer, the situation may change, but all of this was ruined by Lin Sen, a rookie.

"Bill, I finally understand what you mean when you say that may not be the case. Wood's speed is too fast. Although I have commented on a lot of Wood's games, I still underestimated his speed." Hoffman turned to look at Bill Walton and said.

.

Lin Sen took the ball forward in no hurry, and Nakba stood in front of Lin Sen.

The last moment of the fourth quarter may be the real critical moment. So Lin Sen did not get entangled with Nakba at all, but gestured towards Tony Barty.

Tony Barty immediately pulled out, and Lin Sen used Tony Barty's cover to go directly to the inside. Mickey Moore watched Lin Sen rush in, adjusted his steps and stood on Lin Sen's offensive line.

Looking at Mickey Moorlinson who was standing not far away, he had a plan in mind, adjusted his pace and rushed over.

Mickey Moore raised his arms and waited for Lin Sen's arrival. When he was still two steps away from Mickey Moore, Lin Sen clapped the ball with both hands and rushed towards it as if he was holding a bag of explosives.

Mickey Moore.

Seeing this scene, Mickey Moore raised his arms high for fear of being fouled by Lin Sen, a rookie.

His left foot moved directly to Mickey Moore's left side. Moore immediately moved his steps, but Linsen's right foot quickly landed on Mickey Moore's right side.

He raised the ball high with both hands, and at this time Clifford on the other side of the basket rushed over with his right hand raised high.

Seeing Clifford Linson rushing over, he quickly collected the ball. His left hand reached out from behind Clifford and pushed lightly.

Milicic, who was originally guarded by Clifford, steadily caught Lin Sen's pass. Milicic, who was unguarded, easily dunked with both hands.

"The score was beautiful. Darko dunked hard, and the point difference returned to six points again. This was Wood's tenth assist, another double-double. Wood is simply a double-double machine." Hoffman said.

However, the Nets returned to the offensive end and Vince Carter directly hit a jump shot, and the point difference returned to 4 points again.

The game continued, but the Nets still played the role of chaser, while the Magic's lead was not large, hovering between three and six points.

Seeing that time is getting shorter and shorter, Frank on the sidelines is also a little anxious. If they cannot win this game, then the possibility of them, who are 0:3 behind, to complete a big comeback and advance to the next round is infinitely close to 0, so this

There is no room for loss in a game. If he loses, you can imagine how he will be criticized. Not only will he be criticized, but it will also be difficult to keep his coach.

"Lawrence requested a timeout. There are still six minutes left before the end of the game, and Orlando still leads by 4 points. This means that New Jersey has been doing useless work in the past six minutes."

"Bill, this is not a waste of effort, but a waste of effort. Vince has been working hard. In the past six minutes, he scored 8 points by himself. Everyone can see the physical exertion. On the other hand, Wood organized the team easily.

Offensively, I only took two shots and still received the ball in an open position," said Hoffman.

Frank naturally knew this, but he didn't dare to replace Carter, who had excellent touch.

A whistle blows and the timeout is over.

The Nets replaced Crawford with Krstic, replaced Mickey Moore with Richard Jefferson, and replaced Nakba with Jason Kidd.

"Oh, Lawrence has changed his lineup, one senior and four juniors. Obviously he hopes to catch up with the score difference as soon as possible. How will New Jersey defend?" Bill Walton looked at Stan Van Gundy standing on the sidelines.

Van Gundy also did not expect that the Nets would use a lineup with one large and four small players. It is too late to adjust the lineup now, so we can only wait and see.

After the timeout, the Nets' lineup of one player and four small players brought trouble to the Magic. Chris Webber was no longer young and couldn't keep up with Richard Jefferson.

After being pulled, Richard Jefferson finally received a pass from Kidd and directly hit a high two-pointer.

However, the shortcoming of the Nets' lineup is also obvious, that is, their defense. Returning to the defensive end, the Nets' interior defense is too weak. Chris Webber caught the ball and directly hit Richard Jefferson in singles.

Seeing this scene, Stan Van Gundy simply didn't adjust the lineup. After all, the Nets' defensive end was destined to be bad.

Just as Van Gundy thought, although the offensive end performed well, the defensive end's protection of the inside was too weak. So much so that the two points he just scored were quickly recovered by the Magic.

When the time came to the last three minutes, Frank made the first change and replaced Eddie House with Collins.

However, after changing the lineup, the Nets' offense lost its previous advantage.

"Wood, a crucial layup, five points, New Jersey is behind by five points, and the time left for them is getting less and less. Their opportunities are also getting less and less." Bill Walton looked at the big screen and said, at this time the distance

There is only one minute and ten seconds left in the game.

The Magic led the Nets by 5 points 104:99, and the Nets fans at the scene also fell into silence. Although the 5-point difference was not big, they were really disappointed after seeing the Nets chasing the whole night and failing to catch up.

No more confidence.

"Jason!" Carter leaned on Grant Hill and shouted to Kidd. Carter, who had only rested for 6 minutes, was already exhausted.

"Vince is asking for the ball, and he is still insisting. In this game, Vince has fully played his worth. Without him, New Jersey would have been defeated." Hoffman looked at Carter and said.

Kidd directly lobbed the ball to Carter, who relied on Grant Hill with his back.

Hill pressed tightly against Carter's back, and he could feel Carter's physical exertion. Hill knew that as long as he defended the ball, the Magic would be close to victory.

For him who came to Orlando with lofty goals, it is undoubtedly of great significance to help Orlando go further in the last year of his contract.

Suddenly, Carter's shoulders shook, but the shaking was much different from the beginning of the game. Hill was not moved at all. However, Carter in front of him couldn't care so much and just turned over and took off.

Carter jumped up, and Hill jumped up as well.

Leaning his whole body back, Hill tried his best to block Carter's shooting sight.

Carter's body almost formed an 80-degree angle with the floor. Carter looked at the basket and shot the ball.

"Vince, you shot the ball hard. The shot was very forced. Vince's physical fitness has reached the limit." Bill Walton looked at Carter and said.

The ball left Carter's fingers and flew into the air, before falling toward the basket as all the Nets fans watched.

clang!

With a crisp sound, the ball hit the back edge of the basket and bounced high, but luckily the ball still fell into the basket.

"The key goal is still three points away. As long as we defend well, New Jersey still has a chance." Hoffman shouted.

Carter, who fell to the floor after throwing the ball, got up and immediately ran to the backcourt. Looking at Carter's back, Lin Sen was filled with admiration.

After receiving Milicic's serve, Lin Sen slowly dribbled the ball toward the half court and looked up at the big screen.

The big screen clearly showed 104:101, and the Magic were still leading by 3 points. At this time, there were fifty-three seconds left before the end of the game.

Richard Jefferson watched Lin Sen stop near the center circle and run up. For the Nets, every second is crucial.

Looking at Jefferson running towards him, Lin Sen dribbled the ball calmly without any nervousness.

"Defend! Defend! Defend!"

The entire Izod Center was filled with cheers from the fans. Carter's goal just now injected them with a bit of confidence again. They looked forward to the Nets' reversal.

Looking at Jefferson rushing towards him, Lin Sen narrowed his eyes, which made Jefferson feel uneasy.

Just when he was less than one meter away from Lin Sen, Lin Sen, who had stopped where he was, moved and accelerated into a sprint.

Seeing Lin Sen rushing towards him, Jefferson immediately adjusted his pace, but Lin Sen didn't give him a chance at all.

Bah!

The custom-made playoff version of Legend Generation under Lin Sen's feet made a harsh friction with the floor, and he made a sudden change of direction to get out of the way of Jefferson's body.

Vince Carter saw this scene and shouted to Jefferson: "Switch defense!"

Carter also threw away Grant Hill, who was guarding him, and rushed towards Lin Sen. He must guard against Lin Sen's ball. Only by guarding him would he have a chance.

Seeing Catlinson rushing up from the side, he still didn't panic.

Snapped!

After fearing the ball, he pulled a little distance from Carter again. After pulling away, Lin Sen did not rush into the three-point line but directly threw himself into the air.

"Oh, Wood jumped up and he chose a three-pointer? Isn't this a little hasty?" Hoffman said, looking at Lin Sen who suddenly stopped and jumped outside the three-point line.

Magic fans in front of the TV couldn't help but worry about Lin Sen's impulsiveness. Although they all know Lin Sen's three-point ability, they still hope that Lin Sen will be more cautious at such a critical moment.

But Lin Sen, who was jumping up at this moment, didn't know what they were thinking. He only knew that he was going to throw the ball in.

Stan Van Gundy looked at Lin Sen in the sky, and he was just as worried as the Magic fans.

Looking at the basket in the distance, Lin Sen flicked his fingers. The basketball left Lin Sen's fingers amid the boos from the audience, and Carter, who rushed forward with all his strength, was slapped in the air.

Whoosh!

A crisp sound of net wiping accompanied by a loudspeaker impacted the eardrums of every Nets player.

107:101, the three-point difference became 6 points at this time.

"Wood, three-point, a crucial three-pointer, a big-hearted three-pointer, an unreasonable but reasonable three-pointer, this is Wood!" Bill Walton yelled.

Frank immediately called for a timeout the moment he saw the ball go into the basket.

Stan Van Gundy glanced at each player: "The Nets are very likely to choose a three-pointer. If they choose to steal two points, then we will let it go. Even if we let them score, we will not have to pay extra penalties. We are ahead by six points. This is a safe

As long as we grasp the last thirty seconds, we will be the final winner. Let them go fishing and we will move forward!"

After the timeout, the Nets chose a two-point attack, but Carter's shot hit the basket. Chris Webber got the defensive rebound and the Nets immediately fouled.

When Howard passed the ball to Lin Sen again, Kidd immediately put it back. At this time, there were 22 seconds left before the end of the game. Lin Sen went to the free throw line and made two free throws amidst boos, completely shattering the basket. Net ideas.

As Carter's three-pointer hit the frame, Howard grabbed the rebound and the Nets stopped fouling.

When the buzzer sounded at the end of the game, Bill Walton shouted: "3:0! New Jersey has one foot in the playoffs." (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
