legendary point guard

"Yes, Wood was too lonely. In the first half, he scored a personal playoff high of 28 points in a half, using his own strength to fight against the neat and powerful Spurs.

In the second half, he still didn't give up the fight even though he was hampered by physical strength and defense. This is why I love Wood as a rookie. He not only has a sinful face but also an iron-blooded spirit that never gives up." Charles Barkley said with some distress.

.

"What you said, Charles, is right. I feel bad when I think of him constantly attacking the basket and falling to the floor again and again when he drew fouls in the second half. I even doubt that I have the glory of my mother's name, but this is

The first game in Orlando is the first finals of his career. He still has many, many more games and the future will be good." Kenny Smith said.

The entire Orlando bench was silent, without the laughter and laughter of the past. Dwight Howard, a carefree kid who never seemed to know what it was like to be sad, hung his head in frustration.

Tonight was a nightmare night for Howard. He only scored 4 goals in 14 shots. In addition to being blocked 4 times, he also made 5 turnovers and 6 fouls. However, Tim Duncan, who he defended, all missed the ball.

Super dominating data with 28 points, 14 rebounds, 5 blocks, 5 assists and 3 steals.

Lin Sen looked at his teammates on the court with somewhat dull eyes. There was not much garbage time left. He was thinking a lot while sitting off the court. At this moment, a pair of hands grabbed his hand, and it felt warm.

Soon there was a pair of warm hands on his back. The warmth seemed to poke right into his heart, and the depression and pain in his heart suddenly disappeared.

Turning his head, he saw the smiling faces of Natalie Portman and Carolina.

"How can you give up as the leader of the team? This is just the first game." Carolina said softly.

Natalie Portman, who was holding his hand, stroked her belly with her other hand: "Wood, I know you won't back down, because he is proud of you. When he is born, I will tell him that he has a world.

The best dad in the world, his dad is a hero in the hearts of countless people."

Although it is very simple, it gave Lin Sen a sudden feeling at this moment. This is just the first game and it is not the end of the world. Even if the series is lost 0:3 or even 0:4, it is not the end of the Magic.

, because they still have a future.

"Thank you!" Lin Sen nodded and gave the two of them a relieved expression.

At this time, the full-time whistle also sounded. The San Antonio Spurs, playing at home, defeated the Magic with a score of 112:95 and achieved their first victory in the Finals.

In the data column, only Lin Sen scored in double figures in the Magic's starting lineup, and only two players in the entire team scored in double figures. On the other hand, 7 players from the Spurs team scored in double figures, and their GDP totaled 67 points.

Frustration filled the faces of the Magic players. Amid the cheers of Spurs fans in the stadium, Lin Sen stood up and patted Howard: "Dwight, this is just one game. We still have the future. We will definitely be able to do better in the next game."

Okay, I believe you can do it, and everyone also believes you can do it, and you will not let us down, and we will definitely see the best."

Howard raised his head and looked at Lin Sen: "I'm sorry."

"**, we are brothers, and there are times when I don't perform well." Lin Sen said with a smile.

Then Lin Sen, Azubuike, Milicic and others spoke one by one. Lin Sen was filled with pride when he saw their faces that had regained their fighting spirit.

Stan Van Gundy on the side was even more delighted. He had expected the loss before the game. What he was most worried about was losing in the end and losing confidence instead of being more motivated after losing.

"Wood seems to be talking to his teammates one by one, and he seems to be comforting his teammates." Jeff Van Gundy looked at Linson and said.

"Yes, it should be a consolation. This is what a good leader should do. At least he did not give up. If you give up as a leader, you don't have to expect this team to have a good future. I think this game will be a good opportunity for Orlando.

It is a valuable asset for us." Kenny Smith added.

In a villa in the City of Angels on the east coast of the Pacific, a man with glasses and gray hair was watching TV. On the screen was a picture of Lin Sen comforting his teammates. Looking at this picture, the man smiled.

"Phil." With a coy voice, a pair of hands wrapped around the man's neck from behind.

"Wood Lin, Phil, you're on vacation and you still haven't had a good rest." The woman glanced at the screen with a hint of reproach in her voice.

"Jenny, I know, I know, that's it." The man smiled helplessly and turned off the TV, "I didn't tell you when you came."

The man being embraced is the famous Zen master Phil Jackson, and the woman embracing him is Jenny Buss, the daughter of Lakers owner Jerry Buss. She is 16 years younger than Phil Jackson and is now a Laker.

Vice President.

She is also the one among Jerry Buss's seven children who is considered the most likely to take over the Lakers. A large part of the credit for Phil Jackson's return to the Lakers comes from Jenny Buss.

"Are you watching the Spurs or the Magic? The Spurs are really a tough guy to deal with. We must get through them for revival." Jeanie Buss sat next to Phil Jackson.

"Not entirely. I was mainly looking at Wood Lin. I forgot to tell you one thing. This matter is considered a secret. It has been well hidden so far."

"What's going on?" Jenny Bass became interested.

"The Hong Kong men's basketball team wants to invite me to coach."

"Hong Kong? Not China? Or is there something wrong with my ears?"

"Jenny, you heard it right, it's Hong Kong. At first, my expressions were similar to yours. I thought they were joking, but in fact they were not."

"But Hong Kong is too weak. Even if we give you more money, I don't think you are short of money."

"But it's different now. They have recruited a lot of players privately. Of course, it may not be possible to make a difference in the world at the moment, but there is one player that I am very interested in."

"It can't be Wood Lin, right? I heard that he rejected the invitation of coach K. Could it be that he also rejected China and chose Hong Kong? This is really incredible. China has Yao, but Hong Kong has nothing."

"Yes, it's Wood Lin. Didn't you say you wanted Wood Lin some time ago? Now Hong Kong has recruited Wood Lin and has recruited many players. The most important thing is that they also have a quota for naturalized players.

, they have targeted one of several people and told me that if I am willing to be the head coach, that spot can be provided by myself. They are responsible for the efforts. Of course, they gave a high price, 10 million US dollars a year.

"

"Are you ready to agree?"

"I have a little interest. I want to try international competitions, and they will build a good team for me. Of course, the players still need a lot of improvement. I will take another look, but I have some interest. Of course, if you can combine this

I like it better if this guy brings the Lakers."

"I also like it. No one doesn't like players who can bring great value to the team. This year, Orlando's market value is soaring because of him. No one is jealous of them. Poor Minnesota." Jenny Buss said with a smile.

After losing the first game of the Finals, the Orlando Magic resumed their preparations for the second game after a night of recovery and did not give up completely.

Media across the United States believed that the game had lost its suspense, and the Orlando media also began to help Otis Smith provide a list of free agents in the summer, imagining how to further build a super magic.

The winner's Spurs did not change in any way because of their good start. They remained calm as they had for thousands of years.

Under such circumstances, the second game between the Spurs and the Magic started again. The ratings that David Stern was worried about did not change much from the first game. Although it did not surprise him too much, it was enough to make him happy.

He was pleased.

At the beginning of the game, Dwight Howard and Lin Sen staged two alley-oops in a row, causing sirens to sound in the sky over San Antonio.

Darko Milicic, who returned to the starting lineup, also teamed up with Howard to restrict Duncan, who played well in the first game. However, the performance of Mike Finley and Tony Parker did not allow the Magic to take the lead.

At the end of the first quarter, the Magic trailed by only 2 points.

However, at the beginning of the second quarter, the Argentine Yao Dao, who led the second team, first hit a three-pointer, then made a steal and directly passed the long pass to assist Robert Horry, who did not return to defense in time to score. Then he grabbed the defensive rebound and went straight to the Magic basket.

Not only did it send the ball into the basket, it also caused Turkoglu to commit a foul.

In just one and a half minutes, Ginobili led the Spurs with an 8-0 run that expanded the lead to 10 points. This was the first time the Spurs had a double-digit lead.

"Manu continued his good form in the playoffs. Stan called a timeout. He must curb Manu's state and at the same time strengthen the team's offense." Kenny Smith said as he looked at the Magic players walking to the sidelines.

"Coach, let me play!" Lin Sen said as he stood in front of Stan Van Gundy.

Looking into Lin Sen's eyes, Stan Van Gundy nodded: "Okay, Carlos, take a rest."

"Actually, Orlando played pretty well in the first quarter today. Although Dwight had few opportunities on the offensive end, he did much better on the defensive end than in the last game. And Darko's cooperation made Tim's performance in the first quarter even more

It's very average. If the state of the first quarter is maintained and Wood breaks out again, Orlando will not have no chance." Kenny Smith analyzed.

"But Tim is not that easy to defend. Orlando's insiders still need to step up to share Wood's pressure. But the good thing is that Wood was not as tired in the first quarter today as he was in the last game. He only... shot 3 hits.

He scored 1 of them, but he sent 5 assists." At this time, the whistle sounded at the end of the timeout. Barkley looked at the sidelines and said loudly, "The timeout ended, and Wood actually came on the field early, although Wood played in the first quarter.

It’s not as tiring as the last game, but isn’t it a little early to play now?”

Many people, like Barkley, looked at Stan Van Gundy on the sidelines with doubts.

Lin Sen adjusted his arm guards and stuffed his shirt into his shorts. Tony Barty sent the ball out. Lin Sen took his time and let the ball roll on the floor.

Sitting in the chair, **Vicci had no idea that Linson would come on the court so early. As a result, there was neither Tony Parker nor Bruce Bowen on the court, and only Brent Barry and Ginobili were on the back line.

Robert Horry at the small forward position and Oberto and Ellison in the interior were both very slow. **Vitch shouted to Bruce Bowen not far away: "Bruce, get ready to play! Mike, you too!"

"

Bruce Bowen and Mike Finley stood up at the same time, but Linson picked up the ball a little before the center line.

"Greg called Bruce and Mike up. Obviously he also knew that the shortcomings of the Spurs' current lineup are completely driven by Manu. On the defensive end, it is okay to face the Magic without Wood. Once Wood comes on the court, Wood only needs to think about Manu.

"The defense is equal to a smooth road. Should Wood play this ball alone or organize it?" Kenny Smith said while looking at Lin Sen on the court.

Lin Sen was getting closer and closer to the three-point line, and Ginobili stood outside the three-point line. He had studied a lot about Lin Sen, a rookie, and knew that Lin Sen's most common offensive methods were either breakthroughs or three-pointers, especially

An unreasonable three points.

Ginobili, known as Argentina's Demon Sword, is not only unpredictable on the offensive end, but also cannot be underestimated on the defensive end.

Lin Sen got closer and closer, and Ginobili lowered his body center of gravity more and more, spreading his feet and arms almost completely, looking at Lin Sen holding the ball in front of him with slightly opened eyes.

Linson has also studied Ginobili a lot, but more on Ginobili's offensive end, but at this moment he doesn't dare to be careless when facing Ginobili's defense.

Lin Sen stopped one step in front of Ginobili, his left and right feet staggered back and forth, his left hand dribbling the ball without rhythm, and his eyes sizing up Ginobili in front of him.

This is his re-entry, and at this moment the team is 10 points behind, and this offense must be successful.

As the leader of the team, he wants to personally initiate the counterattack.

His left hand swung the ball to his right hand, and at the same time his shoulders swayed to the right. However, Lin Sen's small movements did not deceive Ginobili.

Lin Sen leaned his body to the left and stepped directly to Ginobili's right side with his right foot.

At the same time, he hit the ball with his right hand, and the basketball hit the ground in front of him and bounced to his left hand.

Lin Sen's speed also increased at this moment. Ginobili had a deep understanding of Lin Sen's speed when the two sides met for the first time, but he was usually very familiar with Tony Parker's speed, and he

His speed is not slow and Lin Sen's current breakthrough relies more on speed, so he still has some experience.

Shifting his center of gravity to his right, he pushed his left foot on the ground and quickly slid his right foot to the right, quickly blocking Lin Sen's breakthrough route.

Snapped!

Lin Sen swatted the ball with his left hand, and the ball hit the ground from his crotch to the right side. At the same time, Lin Sen quickly turned around and swatted the ball with his right hand while completing the turn.

The ball passed through the crotch again and came to the right hand again, and then stepped out directly with the left foot.

Although Ginobili tried his best to slide and defend, he was still thrown away by Lin Sen.

"Wood's continuous moves are so beautiful, how did he think of it!" Kenny Smith was extremely amazed by Linsen's extraordinary performance, while Kobe Bryant in front of the TV admired Linsen's breakthrough and shook his head.

In his opinion, the pursuit of breakthrough is success, which is not pleasing to the eye.

Moreover, in his opinion, Lin Sen's shot could have been a fake move when turning around, and then he could directly shoot a fadeaway jumper without any need to break through.

But today's Lin Sen is still far away from Kobe, especially in terms of offensive methods.

Lin Sen on the screen rushed towards the Spurs' interior like a gust of wind. Ellison in the interior wanted to throw away Tony Barty, who was defending him, to defend Lin Sen.

When he threw Tony Barty away, Lin Sen had already thrown himself into the air, and Ellison could only give up the idea of ​​making up defense.

Facing the unguarded basket, Lin Sen slammed the ball into the basket with his right hand.

There was a burst of cheers from the Magic bench, but the expressions of the Spurs players on the court did not change at all. Ellison picked up the ball on the floor and quickly passed it to Ginobili, who immediately requested a timeout.

"Greg is too careful. The purpose of Manu's request for a short timeout is very clear, just to make it easier for Bruce and Mike to play. Wow, Greg even changed to TP in advance." Kenny Smith said while looking at the sidelines.

"Everyone knows how bad this old man is. Anyway, I don't like him because he let Tim replace me as the number one forward, so I hate him." Charles Barkley looked resentful.

After returning from the timeout, the Spurs' inside line changed to Obertoga and Robert Horry, Ginobili mentioned the small forward position, and Mike Finley and Tony Parker partnered on the back line.

Linsen stared at Tony Parker, but Parker passed the ball to Ginobili.

Turkoglu, who was responsible for guarding Ginobili, couldn't keep up with his footsteps at all. Ginobili easily got rid of Turkoglu and went straight to the inside. Faced with Tony Barty's cover, Ginobili made a back pass.

The ball was sent to Robert Horry, and Horry under the basket easily sent the ball into the basket.

"Orlando's defense is too loose. If you want to overtake, you must not only attack but also defend. Otherwise, it is impossible for you to overtake with one goal and one goal after another." Barkley said.

Tony Parker did not have a good impression of Lin Sen. He clearly remembered the first time the two sides played against each other and it became a bad memory for this rookie with a background.

Just like what he did in the last game, Tony Parker pressed closely against Lin Sen, but Lin Sen had no intention of getting entangled with him.

While the team was running, Lin Sen dribbled the ball from the top of the arc to 45 degrees on the right side.

While Parker was still clinging to him, Lin Sen pushed the ball with his right hand, and the basketball quickly left his fingers and flew out, almost grazing Parker's clothes.

The ball went straight to Chris Webber, who was about 45 meters away from the left side. Robert Horry, who was responsible for defending Webber, immediately pounced on him.

Lin Sen, who passed the ball, made a feint when Parker relaxed a little and ran directly from Parker to the inside. Weber directly pushed the ball.

Robert Horry jumped up with all his strength, but the ball still jumped over him and flew to the inside.

"Chris wasn't shooting, he was passing, Wood, Wood took off!" Kenny Smith shouted.

I saw Lin Sen, who had shaken off Parker and cut in from the right side at 40 degrees. Lin Sen, who was only one step away from the reasonable collision zone, jumped up.

His right hand steadily received Weber's pass, and his left hand followed up with both hands and slammed the ball toward the basket.
