legendary point guard

The Portland Trail Blazers and Minnesota Timberwolves both landed their favorite prospects in the draft.

The Trail Blazers and Timberwolves both achieved their first wins of the new season, and rookies Brandon Roy and Lin Sen on both sides were the most eye-catching performers in the game, and they were both contributors to the team's victory.

Brandon Roy showed his maturity and sophistication in the first game. In the first game, coach McMillan regarded him as the future leader of the youth team Blazers.

Although Lin Sen's statistics in the first game were more dazzling, overall he is not as mature as Roy.

Although the regular season has only started in the first game, many experts have already regarded Roy and Linsen as the final candidates for the Best Rookie Award. Adam Morrison, selected by the Bobcats, also scored 22 points in the first game.

, but was excluded by experts after Roy and Linsen.

"Welcome to today's episode of Hoops World, and I'm your friend Erin Andrews."

Lin Sen returned home from training and turned on the TV. What caught his eye was the "Hoop World" program being broadcast live by ESPN's Hua Dan.

"As the last team to appear in the new season, the Nuggets faced the Los Angeles Clippers in back-to-back games away from home. Yesterday, the Los Angeles Clippers lost to the Phoenix Suns 104:112. Today, the Los Angeles Clippers relied on the alien who is about to turn 36.

Sam Cassell scored a game-high 35 points in a 96-95 loss to the Denver Nuggets, and he also had 6 rebounds and 6 assists."

"Carmelo Anthony was ejected in the third quarter due to two technical fouls. In the last quarter, JR Smith almost became the Nuggets' hero. He made a steal with 18.2 seconds left in the game to help the Nuggets lead 95:94.

But then Sam Cassel, who performed well throughout the game, forced a breakthrough and caused a foul and made two free throws to help the Clippers take the lead. In the end, the Nuggets wasted two winning opportunities and regrettably lost."

Lin Sen looked at the thin Sam Cassel on the TV screen and admired him. He is still so powerful at the age of 36. After today's training, Kevin McHale also took the video of Sam Cassel.

He could learn something from Cassel.

"Finally, let's turn our attention from Sam Cassell, who has been away from Minnesota for a season, to the Timberwolves. Tomorrow night, the Timberwolves will face the Portland Trail Blazers at home. This game is the two most dazzling first games of the new season.

Rookie showdown..."

Lin Sen did not expect that he and Roy would be publicly compared on TV. Lin Sen watched the comments on TV with great interest.

ESPN compared Lin Sen and Roy in many aspects, including off-court fame, on-court offense and defense, willpower, and leadership qualities. In the end, Lin Sen only won on reputation and lost to Roy on the court.

Lin Sen smiled and turned off the TV. David Falk had contacted him yesterday and told him that many famous brands wanted Lin Sen to be their spokesperson, but Lin Sen himself knew that what they valued more was his fame.

It's not about his skills. Lin Sen didn't care about him at all before, but from the moment he walked up to Jordan after the first official game, reporters almost completely ignored him.

And at that time, Lin Sen was still a little happy that reporters ignored him, but when the plane arrived at the Minnesota airport yesterday, Garnett also received more attention, even though Lin Sen thought his performance was no better than Garnett's in the first game.

Poor, and when reporters interviewed him, they were more concerned about his off-field performance rather than his on-field performance.

At that moment, Lin Sen suddenly understood that if he wanted to gain the respect of more people, he must show more strength.

At 7 pm on November 3, the Target Center Arena with more than 20,000 people was almost filled with enthusiastic fans, and the attendance rate was more than 20% higher than last season.

"Long time no see Brandon!" Lin Sen walked up to Roy.

Roy looked at Lin Sen, who was slightly shorter than himself, and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I last saw you, but now I see you, I'm glad to play against you."

"Me too." Lin Sen and Roy hugged each other gently and separated, then stood at their own positions.

Lin Sen is still the starter, but tonight his starting partner was replaced by Mike James from Ricky Davis.

This is also an adjustment made by Devin Casey to the game lineup, and this signal is also regarded as the decline of Ricky Davis' status in the team.

Reporters on the sidelines have begun to speculate that Ricky Davis completely failed in the battle with the team's rookie Lin Sen, and that the day of leaving the Timberwolves may not be far away.

Former All-Star centers Jamal Magloire and Kevin Garnett stood in the center circle and jumped for the ball.

Garnett easily passed the ball to Lin Sen, and Lin Sen jumped up to win the ball.

Tonight, the forwards and defenders of both teams are very short. Timberwolves small forward Trenton Hassell is only 1.96 meters, while Trail Blazers small forward Udoka is also 1.96 meters tall, and both of them are

He is a player who is good at defense.

Lin Sen dribbled the ball upfield under Jack's block, and handed the ball directly to Garnett inside. Facing Magloire's defense, Garnett posted up and hit a hook directly to open the scoring for the Timberwolves.

record.

In the transition between offense and defense, Jack took the ball past halftime and handed the ball over to Brandon Roy.

The Target Center immediately sent out waves of boos. In spite of the boos, Brandon Roy succeeded in a step-back jumper in the face of Trenton Hassell's defense.

The game continued, but due to the presence of Mike James, Linsen had fewer opportunities to hold the ball, and there were not many opportunities to perform well on the offensive end. They were more reflected in his imaginative and wonderful assists.

After hitting the first goal, Brandon Roy didn't have many opportunities to perform. The focus on the court was more focused on Zach Randolph and Kevin Garnett, two 20+10 players in the paint.

on club members.

Although Garnett's defense was excellent, he still couldn't contain Randolph, and the Trail Blazers couldn't contain Garnett's outstanding performance.

Suddenly, the game that was originally expected to be a spark between the two rookies turned into a strong showdown between the two power forwards.

"Pass, pass!" Devin Casey shouted toward the court. At this time, Linsen had slipped past the baseline and was open.

However, Mike James, who was holding the ball, didn't seem to hear Devin Casey's voice and directly forced a single to Uduka, but Uduka directly knocked the ball out of bounds.

"Marco replaces Mike!" Devin Casey said to Jaric with a cold face.

Dwane Casey can no longer tolerate Mike James' performance.

Not only is Mike James obsessed with singles and unable to defend, but more importantly, he holds the ball too much, which directly greatly weakens Lin Sen's role on the court.

James walked off the court with an embarrassed expression. Instead of high-fiving Jaric, who was replacing him, he stepped aside and walked directly to the bench, where he sat down next to Ricky Davis.

In the eyes of reporters, Mike James, who came to the Timberwolves with high expectations, and Ricky Davis, last season's second-choice player, became a lost duo.
