ps: Thanks to my old friends I mean what and Shuai Feiyan for their monthly tickets. Xiao Ai will go to Suzhou tomorrow morning.

"Wood, we advanced, we advanced, this feeling is so damn great!" Howard gave Lin Sen a hard push with both hands.
Lin Sen was pushed directly to the floor. Fortunately, Lin Sen was prepared in advance, but his butt hurt a little.
"**!" Lin Sen yelled but could not stop Howard's crazy behavior.
"Oh, Dwight pushed Wood, and then... Is this scene inappropriate for children? Could Carolina be jealous or give Wood some special underwear?" Buckley said with a lustful smile on his face.
"Hey, Charles, you are the one who is not suitable for children. Oh, they all pressed up. Aren't they afraid that Wood will be crushed below? These guys are so crazy." Kenny Smith couldn't bear to look at it.
Lin Sen was yelling below but no one paid any attention. There was no way anyone could make them too young. To enter the playoffs for the first time and successfully advance with a sweep was undoubtedly a huge blessing for them.
Of course, if Howard hadn't taken the lead, no one else would have followed.
"Dwight, I remember you!" Lin Sen said secretly.
Pippen, Rodman, Chris Webber, Grant Hill, Eddie Jones and several other veterans were not so crazy, but looked at the young guys who were crazy together on the field.
Stan Van Gundy, who was standing aside, had a smile on his face. Promotion was just the beginning, the beginning of a bright future for Orlando. For him, this season has been a huge success. Every step after that is an additional victory.
He is even more looking forward to what actions they will make with nearly 20 million in salary space in the offseason. He has already seen the O'Brien Trophy coming to Orlando in the near future.
As Barkley said, Carolina is really distressed because her father is in the Czech men's basketball national team and the Czech Republic is a football country. Such celebrations appear more often on the football field.
At this time, Lin Sen in the center of the field had secretly crawled out from the chaos, while Howard, the initiator of Lin Sen's pressure, was pushed to the bottom.
"Dwight, it's time for you to suffer." Lin Sen jumped up unceremoniously, and Howard below let out a scream.
The night in New York was so beautiful. Lying on the hotel bed, Lin Sen was still replaying the past four games in his mind. In ten days, they had gone from knowing nothing to being the second team in the Eastern Conference to reach the semifinals.

"Woodlin's Rookie of the Year? No, regular season MVP!" - "USA Today".
…
Every media with sports coverage paid attention to the game between the Magic and the Nets last night, even if the Mavericks, who were facing a blackout last night, led by 21 points, were overtaken by 9 points, and finally won by 6 points.
It's not as important as Magic's news status.
After a sluggish first quarter, Lin Sen scored 16 points in the next three quarters, especially the last quarter, and scored a career-high 40 points in a single game in the playoffs. Lin Sen undoubtedly became the most shining person.
What's more, in addition to 40 points, Lin Sen also sent out 10 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks. The last block of Carter was even more crucial.
In his first playoff series, Lin Sen contributed 20 points, 11 assists, 5 steals, 4 rebounds and 1 block in four games, 25 points, 10 assists, 3 steals, 6 rebounds and 1 block, 36 points and 14 times. Assists, 3 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block, 40 points, 10 assists, 4 steals, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks.
Lin Sen not only had excellent statistics in the four games, but more importantly, he never showed mercy at the critical moments of the game. How could Lin Sen like this not make the fans who like him crazy?
Bill Simmons, an ESPN columnist. A die-hard Celtics fan from Boston, known for his harsh words. On the morning of May 3rd, he wrote this article in his column "Bul private m touch NS Report" - — "The next legend?".
"Almost everyone in our era will see legends appear, and then time flies, and everything in the past becomes history, but this does not affect us from looking for the next legend. And this one is the most famous in the world; the legend will live in your life In every aspect, you work, sleep, eat, go to the toilet, study, date, whatever you do.
The former Wilt Chamberlain, the former Magician, the former Big Bird to Michael Jordan, Michael Jordan reached another level in the mid-1990s, so that every entrance to the arena was occupied by strong flashing cards; cheers The sound of 'chael' and the screams of the fans were of a historic level, just like when we saw the idol group Jonas Brothers walk in at a girls' school; apart from these, what really impressed me was: Even if a beast's paw taps on his shoulder, even if the cry of 'myyyyyyy-kalllllllll!!!!!!' from 30 feet away is about to break through his eardrums, he can still smile and continue. When he came to the court and prepared for the game, he knew that no one was taking pictures, staring at him, and talking about him all the time, but he just touched his nose and shrugged... What I want to express is that he is always like this Calm and elegant, with extraordinary appearance - some people are born to adapt to the spotlight.
After Michael retires, I am still looking for the next legend, Allen Iverson, Vince Carter, Kobe Bryant or T-Mac?
Each of them is close to a legend, but they are not the one in my heart.
From last year or the year before last, a little guy with yellow skin appeared in my sight, and suddenly I realized that maybe this guy could become the next legend. Of course, this is an exaggeration in a certain sense.
But you will find that a guy with yellow skin can actually hit the ball that makes countless people scream. And he can also become the core of a team and is born to survive for the spotlight. I don’t think you will be stingy with using legends. This word, of course, is based on the premise that he can play the corresponding game.
Of course, from that point on, my good friends kept laughing at my assertion, and I said to them, 'Hey, man, he may not be the next Michael Jordan on the court, but he's definitely a natural for the spotlight.'
Slowly as time passed, my buddies began to tell me, 'Yes, that little yellow-skinned man was born for the spotlight. Look, he is in the news again today.'
I would say to my buddies, 'Why can't you watch him play, even though I follow him off the court a lot.'
In fact, sometimes I wonder if he is the next t-mac, just like when Doc Rivers said to t-mac one day, 'Okay, this is your team.' In fact, I still think t-mac is there.
mac is not a leader he enjoys doing anything but scoring but in the end he has to score and if it weren't for all those damn injuries he would be playing a much brighter game instead of just being a scorer.
So I was worried that he would be the next T-Mac who was forced to be the team leader, but it turns out that this little guy is not afraid of being the team leader, and he is brave and willing to take on the responsibility. Look at what he has done.
Not worthy of applause?
Man, and he's not white or black, but a yellow-skinned guy. Isn't this strange enough for you?
At least he already has what it takes to become a yellow-skinned legend, okay, and then let's look at his other aspects, such as his football skills.
You can find many shortcomings in him, but he has been improving. Look at his mid-range shooting, which was once criticized. He has improved for most of the season. Although he is still some time away from maturity, he is doing well.
I called Stan Van Gundy to ask what kind of rookie Wood Lin was, and the results I got from his college coaches were completely different from what I'm getting now.
He who never practiced in the past started practicing in the NBA and started to set an example instead of just what we saw in those bullshit newspapers. He had made efforts but unfortunately most of us kept our eyes on him.
On his messy tidbits.
Top physical fitness, desire for progress, hard work in action, a super big heart, never afraid of challenges, coupled with natural leadership qualities and spotlight attributes, I am very firm in my original feeling that he can become the next legend.
Of course, this requires not only the above factors but also opportunities, such as a good team to make him a strong contender for the O'Brien Cup, otherwise he can only be an imperfect legend.
Guys you may question my opinion, but time will prove me right!”
Bill Simmons' column undoubtedly elevated Lin Sen to a high status. When this article was published, you can imagine how much saliva he received.
"Time proves that he is right? I don't deny that Wood Lin is an outstanding guy, but he is still a light-year away from the legend. Even if he is closer than others, it is because he has a different skin color." Bill Simmons
Fellow "Los Angeles Times" reporter Ander Nett said this on his Twitter, and also mentioned Bill Simmons.
Countless people hold the same view as Ander Nate. With the wishes of most people, even Lin Sen's die-hard fans can only firmly believe in their hearts that Lin Sen can do it.
"I thank Bill for recognizing me. I don't know if I will become the next legend, but I know that I will become the first me. For me, that is enough. As for whether I will become a legend, I will leave it to time."
Lin Sen, who returned to Orlando, said this in an interview with a Yahoo Sports reporter.
At three o'clock in the afternoon on this day, Lin Sen received a call from David Falk in advance. The nurse told him that he had successfully won the best award by defeating Brandon Roy.
Rookie.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the NBA official website officially announced the best rookie candidates for the 2006-2007 season.
Lin Sen defeated Portland Trail Blazers guard Brandon Roy to win the championship with an absolute advantage. At the beginning of the season, Brandon Roy's statistics were far less impressive than Lin Sen's, but experts still ranked Roy at No. 1.
One. But as the season progressed, Lin Sen never let go since he topped the rookie rankings.
The Best Rookie Award is also slowly recognized as becoming less and less suspenseful. Especially when Lin Sen leads the Orlando Magic to great success. The Portland Trail Blazers have completely lost the suspense when they work hard to get a good pick in the lottery.
The final voting results also verified this. Among the 128 media experts who participated in the voting, 127 people wrote Lin Sen’s name first. Lin Sen’s final total score was as high as 638 points, which was only 2 points less than the full score of 640 points.
point.
Brandon Roy took the only first-place vote, and the other 127 people placed Roy in second place. In the end, Roy got 386 points.
The third and fourth picks are Bargnani with the first pick and Rudy Gay, who was drafted by the Rockets with the eighth pick and then sent to the Grizzlies.
"I have no way not to vote for him, even though I don't like him. But I have to admit that he did better than Brandon in his rookie season, but I still think that Brandon will become an outstanding player in the future, not better than Wood.
Lin Cha." "Los Angeles Times" reporter Zkober, who participated in the voting, said in his column.
Many reporters expressed the same view as zkober. After all, Lin Sen averaged 22.5 points, 10.7 assists, 2.8 steals, 4.6 rebounds and 0.2 blocks per game in his rookie season, shooting 58.5% from the field, 44.4% from the three-point range, and 92.7% from the field.
Free throw percentage.
Brandon Roy averaged 16.8 points, 4 assists, 1.18 steals, 4.4 rebounds per game, 83.8% free throw percentage, 37.7% three-point field goal percentage, 45.6% field goal percentage, which was much bleaker than Lin Sen.
Of course, another important reason is the record of the teams led by both sides.
"Brandon will be an outstanding guy in the future, and he will become the leader of Portland, but Wood Lin will be even better. At least Brandon needs to lead his team into the playoffs first." Charles Barkley
Said this on TNT program.
Lin Sen didn't really care about winning the Rookie of the Year Award. What he cared about was the team's next opponent. On this night, the Chicago Bulls ushered in Game 5 against the Toronto Raptors.
The Chicago Bulls had a 3:1 lead in the first four games. The Raptors had no way out, but they failed to defeat the Bulls when they came to the United Center away from home. In the end, the Bulls defeated the Raptors 101:92 with a total score of 4:1.
Advance to the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
It has also become the first semifinal matchup between the playoffs, and the first game between the Bulls and Magic will start at the Waterhouse Center on May 6.
But immediately afterwards, the San Antonio Spurs defeated the Denver Nuggets at home and sent the double gold to go fishing, while the Magic team watched the Phoenix Suns vs. Los Angeles Lakers game at the same time.
Lin Sen witnessed Kobe's helplessness. Without any helper except Odom, Kobe took 33 crazy shots, but finally made 20 shots under the Suns' crazy defense.
"Bryant's shooting was really crazy, I seemed to hear the sound of the basket screaming again." Howard said funny, but was soon glared at by Stan Van Gundy.
Even though Odom scored 33 points and Kobe Bryant scored 66 points together, they still could not stop the Suns from advancing. In the end, the Suns and the Spurs advanced to the next round with a total score of 4:1.
After the game, Kobe Bryant made a statement in the locker room asking the team to strengthen or trade, which caused a sensation in the league.
This game also touched Lin Sen very much, not because he lamented how strong the Suns were under the organization of Steve Nash, but because if a team's lineup is not good, no matter how good the strength is, it will be in vain.
"Wood, do you have any ideas?" Stan Van Gundy looked at Lin Sen in front of him and said.
"If the team wants to be competitive, it must strengthen the team's strength." Lin Sen said seriously.
Stan Van Gundy nodded: "You are right. What do you think of our team now?"
"Actually, we are pretty good, but we need reinforcements if we want to take a step forward. If Dwight can continue to improve, then we can save a lot of trouble. If possible, we can keep Darko and renew Grant. In addition, the team's forward defense
We need to strengthen, our defense is a bit bad, if Dwight cannot make effective progress on the offensive end, then our inside line must also be strengthened." Lin Sen said seriously.
"You are right. Before you came, I thought about how we should build, with Dwight as the core inside and equipped with four shooters. This is the championship lineup I built for Orlando, just like Houston built Olaju.
Just as Wang prepared."
"But the facts have changed. It is almost impossible for Dwight to become Olajuwon, even though he is very young. After the team traded you, I completely changed my original idea, which was to use you as the core inside configuration.
Dwight plus Hido, build a championship lineup based on the three of you, but as you said, Dwight's offensive ability is limited, Hido's defensive ability is limited, and you have not yet reached the highest expectations, so
We must step up if we want to make a difference.
We have 20 million salary space this summer. I want to hear your thoughts. You go back and think about it carefully. If you have any ideas, Otis is already looking for some possibilities."
"Yes, I will." Lin Sen nodded.
"Be well prepared. The next round will not be easy. Although we have achieved our season goals, wouldn't it be better if we could go further?"
"Of course." Lin Sen said with a smile.
At this time, the Chicago media can't wait to start building momentum for the Bulls' upcoming second round game, while the Orlando media is not to be outdone. Although the game has not yet started, the war of words between the two cities has already begun. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature
