"We have a big man, his name is Warcraft, and we have a small man, his name is Wood."

The fans at the Water House Center couldn't help but sing loudly to express their excitement.

Skiles couldn't help but be frightened by Linson and Howard's three consecutive alley-oop successes. Although each alley-oop was only two points, being succeeded by the opponent three consecutive alley-oops was undoubtedly an insult to the Bulls' defense, and it was also an insult to the Bulls' defense.

A blow to bull morale.

Skiles made a gesture toward the court, and the Bulls players on the court immediately understood what Skiles was thinking.

Skiles doesn't intend to do anything to Howard. After all, Howard's physical fitness is indeed inhuman. But just because Skiles doesn't do anything to Howard doesn't mean that he will let Howard continue to make alley-oops. His idea is to start from the source of alley-oops.

The action is to control Linsen's pass to Howard.

But is the pass so easy to defend?

And the Magic is not just Lin Sen as a passer. Before Lin Sen came to the Magic, the core of the Magic was the Turks built by Stan Van Gundy. After Lin Sen came, the Turk Turkoglu was relegated to the second core position.

, more for use when Lin Sen cannot lead the team.

In the regular season, Linson rarely performed poorly, so Turkoglu did not have much time to directly organize the game. However, when Hinrich's defense against Linson was suffocating, Turkoglu took over.

Contest..

"Wood passed the ball to Hido, Hido attracted the defense and passed the ball directly!" Kenny Smith shouted loudly, only to see Turkoglu throw the ball away, and Dwight Howard once again fell like a magic weapon from the sky.

Usually, the ball is pushed heavily into the basket with both hands.

"Which number is this? I dare say that Dwight has never played such an easy game. All he has to do is jump up and push the ball into the basket." Charles Barkley looked at the statistics, "It's actually the first place.

Seven minutes into the quarter-finals, Dwight has already scored 14 points, 6 of which came from dunks and 5 of which were alley-oops."

"Is this a special tactic by Stan, taking advantage of Ben's footwork, height and jumping disadvantage, Wood and Hido's passing, and Dwight's inhuman physical fitness to make a fuss? In order to achieve unexpected results, such as now 22:

16, Orlando leads by 6 points." Kenny Smith said.

Skiles was very depressed. He finally saw Lin Sen turn off the engine. Unexpectedly, the Turk ignited the fire. His height of 2.08 and his ability to understand the overall situation caused the Bulls' defense to complain.

After making a gesture, the defense faced by Turkoglu became much stronger. However, Lin Sen, who had turned off the engine for a while, started up again.

There was direct cooperation between Linsen and Turkoglu. In the end, Linsen threw the ball out again after attracting the defense. And Howard, as Barkley said, was like a hungry dog ​​that could chew any bone.

He pushed the ball into the basket again.

"Is Orlando going to beat the Bulls tonight with alley-oops again and again? If that's the case, I can't even imagine the final result. And one thing is that although Dwight is very easy, he just needs to take off and put the ball into the basket.

, but the physical requirements for taking off seemingly easily every time are not small. Once Dwight uses up too much physical energy, Orlando's interior defense may have big problems, which will lead to the final collapse of the entire Magic."

What Kenny Smith said is absolutely correct, and Stan Van Gundy also thought of this. Howard's mad rush in the first quarter was more of a tactic he arranged tonight, and this idea also came from Lin Sen's idea.

Van Gundy thought about it and thought it was very feasible, so he agreed. This is how Howard is now enjoying alley-oops.

"Scott made substitution adjustments, and Kirk was replaced by Chris Duhon. Chris is not an easy guy to deal with, especially his defense." Kenny Smith said.

When Linsen was studying Bulls videos and scouting reports, he noticed Chris Duhon, a small player with a height of only 1.85. This was Duhon's third season in the NBA.

What impressed Duhong Linsen most was the defense. In the regular season, Lin Sen had a poor performance and was taken care of by Duhong. He only hit 4 goals in 12 shots.

In particular, his defensive pace is extremely proficient, he has a pair of quick hands and a very diligent attitude on the defensive end that is more important than judgment. He is never rash and rarely risks stealing the ball.

For Lin Sen, Duhong's ability to defend him with the ball was stronger than Hinrich's, but the two games in the playoffs gave Lin Sen some experience, so Lin Sen didn't feel at a loss.

Chris Duhon, who just came on the field, passed the ball to Ben Gordon. It was just an ordinary pass without any fancy moves. After receiving the ball, Ben Gordon directly picked up and shot.

The ball didn't hit the basket like Magic fans wanted, but got into the basket steadily.

"It's not easy. Ben Gordon scored for the second time in the game. How many shots has he taken?" Barkley said while looking at the statistics. "Oh, this is his seventh shot in a single quarter.

He took 7 shots with just over four minutes left, and this was his second hit."

With Ben Gordon's goal, the Bulls trailed the Magic 20:26.

Facing Chris Duhon's defense again, Lin Sen still felt the strength of Duhon's defensive end. Under Duhon's care, Lin Sen finally chose to pass the ball, but Azubuike, who replaced Grant Hill, did not

Couldn't put the ball into the basket.

Two minutes later, Lin Sen was replaced by Stan Van Gundy and Carlos Arroyo. After ten minutes of playing in the first quarter, Lin Sen only made 1 of 3 shots and made two free throws before scoring a pitiful 4 points.

When my eyes moved from the scoring column to the assists column, Lin Sen's 7 assists seemed particularly eye-catching.

The two sides entered the second team competition one after another. The Bulls relied on veteran P.J. Brown and Nocchioni, who led the second team, to tie with the Magic.

After the main players of both sides returned in the first half, the Magic failed to widen the point difference.

Lin Sen still puts more energy into organizing the team's offense. Of course, in the eyes of many Bulls fans, Lin Sen's performance is undoubtedly extremely sluggish, and Hinrich's role in this is naturally very important in their eyes.

Scales smiled happily when he saw this situation. His idea was to hold on to the Magic and then exert his strength in the last quarter. When the first half ended, Scales looked at the score 53:55 and endured it.

He couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

Michael Jordan, who was watching the game from the sidelines, was also very happy because the Bulls played well in the first half. Of course, the most important thing is that Lin Sen, a rookie, could be described as terrible on the offensive end in the first half. He only got 10 points in the first half.

7 points, even though he only took 5 shots.

7 points may be good for other rookies, and 15 points in the second half is already an outstanding statistic, but for Lin Sen, such a score is indeed not high. More importantly, Lin Sen seemed to be completely overwhelmed in the first half.

Guarded against it.

The fans in the audience used Lin Sen to stimulate him and booed him much less. How could Jordan be unhappy?

"At the end of the half, the Orlando Magic, playing at home, only led the Chicago Bulls by a slim margin of two points. As Orlando's leader, Wood seemed to be strangled by the defense of Kirk and Chris in the first half, especially in the second quarter.

Wood just hit a goal, and Scott arranged a double-back formation of Chris and Kirk to double-team Wood." Kenny Smith said.

"Kenny, you are right. Chicago's defense against Wood was indeed very strict in the first half, but Wood's personal offensive desire was not strong, but I feel that Wood's condition is not that bad." Barkley glanced at Kenny.

Smith, "I don't think he is in good condition just because he sent out 12 assists in the first half. My intuition tells me that Wood seems to be setting up a conspiracy on the offensive end."

The Bulls fans in front of the TV obviously didn't care about Barkley's remarks. In their eyes, Lin Sen was blocked. Although the team was still lagging behind, they believed that the victory was natural after Lin Sen was blocked.

Lin Sen waved to the fans and walked into the tunnel. Howard followed Lin Sen with a flattering smile on his face.

"Wood, I want you to break the record tonight, how about I score?"

Lin Sen turned around and glared at Howard: "Dwight, do you think the bull is a stupid cow with a negative IQ? They are not, so they should follow our plan. At least for now, they are very confident in themselves."

"Okay, it's up to you." Howard hung his head. He played too comfortably in the first half and scored 25 points in the first half without spending much energy at all. But Lin Sen's words undoubtedly told him that he imagined

It's impossible to play like that in half court.

The twenty-minute intermission passed quickly. At the referee's whistle, the starting players of both sides re-entered the field. The lineup was exactly the same as the one at the beginning of the game. Neither side made any adjustments to the lineup.

Kirk Hinrich controlled the ball and came to the frontcourt, and Lin Sen stood in front of Hinrich.

Hinrich did not choose to single Lin Sen but chose to pass the ball directly to the ground. The ball was given to Luol Deng who cut in. After receiving the ball, Luol Deng did not shoot himself but directly transferred the ball.

Ben Gordon arrived on the other side.

Ben Gordon was in good shape in the second quarter, and his excellent touch allowed the Bulls to secure the score.

"Perhaps the twenty-minute break was too long, and Ben Gordon's touch has cooled down." Kenny Smith joked, as Ben Gordon's shot hit the basket.

Lin Sen rushed inside and grabbed a defensive rebound over Noccioni's head.

"Wood is really active. He grabbed the rebound from Andres Noccioni, who is half a head taller than him. It is rare to see Wood who is so active in grabbing rebounds. Maybe Wood converted his offensive status into rebounds tonight.

and assists." Kenny Smith said with a smile.

"Kenny, didn't you realize that Wood is likely to create a triple-double? Of course, the premise is that he still maintains such efficiency in rebounding."

"Really?" Kenny Smith glanced at Barkley and looked at the big screen.

"Seven points, 12 assists, 6 rebounds and 1 steal. Oh, yes, I actually ignored his rebound data. As you said, Wood is likely to get the first triple-double of his career tonight, even though this is the season.

The playoffs are not the regular season, of course it is only possible now, there are many players who worked hard for a long time but failed to succeed when they were only one stat shy."

"Kenny, can't you say something nice? I'm a die-hard Wood fan." Barkley said dissatisfied. At this time, Lin Sen on the court dribbled the ball past half-time. Hinrich, who defended Lin Sen in the first half, had an early start.

On guard.

After Lin Sen made a gesture, his dribbling speed increased, and it looked like a prelude to taking the initiative to attack. Lin Sen fans who had been depressed for half the game couldn't help but become excited.

Hinrich was also nervous. His feeling was similar to that of Barkley. He did not feel how bad Linsen's condition was, but Linsen's desire to attack was not strong. This is completely different from being in a bad condition.

"Is it finally here?" Xinrich stared closely at Lin Sen's waist and abdomen, the source of human body power.

Snapped!

Lin Sen swatted the ball, and the ball hit the ground in front of him and came to his left hand. He pulled the ball high with his left hand. It looked full of flaws. He could have interfered with it with just a little movement, but Hinrich did not reach out.

.

Snapped!

The left hand hits the ball, and the ball hits the ground again to the right hand. The right hand also pulls the ball high.

But instead of hitting the ball again, Lin Sen's right hand suddenly turned his palm and the ball was pushed out.

"It's not about taking the initiative to attack, but passing the ball, and Hido receives the ball." Kenny Smith shouted loudly. Linsen's fans seemed a little disappointed. After all, they wanted Linsen to attack instead of passing the ball.

Hinrich also breathed a sigh of relief. Although Lin Sen was a rookie, this rookie was not ordinary. The rookie's poor performance in the first half still put a lot of pressure on him.

However, as soon as Hinrich breathed a sigh of relief, Lin Sen ran out, but only took a few steps before stopping, exactly at a position of 45 degrees to the right of the three-point line.

Turkoglu, who was receiving the ball, signaled Grant Hill to set a screen for him. As in most of the first half, there were only Howard and Ben Wallace inside. Howard, who was outside the three-second zone, pulled to the free throw line.

"Are you coming again?" A disdainful smile flashed across Scales' lips.

"Hido pushed the ball directly, Dwight started to speed up, oh, forced gben to directly block in front of Dwight, like an indestructible wall, Dwight was severely blocked." Kenny Smith said.

Just as it fell, a figure rushed in from the three-point line like lightning.

Hinrich felt that before his eyes could catch Lin Sen, Lin Sen rushed in.

"Wood, Wood rushed inside. His speed was so fast that Kirk didn't even realize it." Barkley shouted.

Lin Sen, who was still one step away from the reasonable collision zone, stepped on the floor with his left foot and jumped up in front of everyone's gaze.

He pulled his left arm behind his head, then quickly pulled it back, just as the ball came to his left hand.

Bang!

Lin Sen exerted force with his left hand and directly changed the course of the ball.

"It's really good, and it was a left-hand alley-oop, and it was a very beautiful dunk. Look at his arm and you can feel his straightness all the time. This is why Vince's dunk in the slam dunk contest doesn't seem right now.

The reason why it is not very good but can be ranked among the best dunks in history in the eyes of experts is because Vince's arms are always straight." Kenny Smith's comments made many pseudo-fans understand.

After watching the replay, they immediately turned on their computer to download Carter's slam dunk contest and then compared the same actions of others. Only then did they realize that this was the fundamental reason.

Skiles didn't say much. In his opinion, this was just Lin Sen's positive performance and could not mean anything else. Michael Jordan on the sidelines kept a faint smile.

The offense and defense switched, and the Bulls, who failed to get off to a good start in the second half, counterattacked extremely quickly.

In the end, Luol Deng hit a high jumper and scored two points. The Magic still only led the Bulls by 2 points.

"Lol Deng, the stable Luol, the Bulls still beat Orlando by two points."

In Kenny Smith's voice, Lin Sen dribbled the ball through half court. When he was close to the three-point line, Lin Sen said hello to Howard inside and asked Howard to pull out for the screen. Seeing this scene, Ben Wallace didn't

If he didn't follow out, he didn't want the rim to be dunked by Howard, so he just followed out and stuck to Howard.

Howard crossed his hands on his chest and Lin Sen accelerated at the same time. Luol Deng on the other side watched Lin Sen use the cover to accelerate and immediately pounced on him. At the same time, he shouted at Hinrich: "Switch defense!"

At the same time as Lin Sen started to speed up, Howard took half a step from the free throw line, then took a big step and went straight to the inside.

"Wood passed the ball again, did Dwight make an alley-oop again? This is the easiest way to score in the world." Before Kenny Smith finished speaking, Lin Sen did not pass an alley-oop but a simple short pass.

This puzzled everyone. Howard had almost no offensive ability with the ball, but Lin Sen actually chose to pass such a ball. It is really incomprehensible.

However, the moment Howard took a big step and forced a cut, the ball in his hand was passed directly out and went straight to Lin Sen, who had let Luol Deng slide past the baseline.

Luol Deng followed closely. Luol Deng blocked Lin Sen almost the moment Lin Sen caught the ball.

"Dwight's passing was still a lot worse. If he had just passed it farther forward, Wood could have dunked directly." Kenny Smith commented. At this moment, Lin Sen made a sudden stop.

At the same time as he stopped his body, Lin Sen suddenly raised the ball with both hands.

Luol Deng couldn't help but jump when he saw this scene.

Luol Deng's take-off was the result Lin Sen needed. However, Luol Deng did not press forward, so Lin Sen had to give up the plan of drawing a foul and playing two plus one. Instead, he directly collected the ball, turned around and picked the ball with his left hand.

Towards the basket.

"Wood hit his second goal in a row. Although both came from passes from teammates, Wood's desire to attack was obviously stronger than in the first half. Chicago's test moment has arrived. Look at Michael's expression." Barkley looked at the live broadcast.

Lin Sen joked in the replay just now when he scored. (To be continued.)
