legendary point guard

[First update, please recommend and collect, second update at 6pm! Third update today!]

When the plane left the Minnesota airport, Lin Sen's mind also flew to Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States, which is far away from Minnesota.

And their next opponent, the Wizards, is there. Compared with the Timberwolves' poor results last season, the Washington Wizards' new iron triangle became the highest-scoring trident in the NBA for the first time last season.

Arenas, Butler, and Jamison combined to contribute 67.4 points to the Wizards last season. It was due to the outstanding performance of the Iron Triangle that the Wizards advanced to the playoffs in the regular season as fifth in the Eastern Conference.

If the Cavaliers hadn't relied on LeBron James' crab walk, the Wizards would have likely advanced to the semifinals. The Wizards in the new season naturally hope to be one step closer than last season, but in their first game of the new season, they ended up with less than 3 points.

The Cavaliers, who eliminated them last season, failed to win their first win of the new season.

The game against the Timberwolves is their second game of the new season, and the Wizards naturally hope to give the home fans a victory.

In terms of overall strength, the Wizards are also better than the Timberwolves. For the Timberwolves to continue their winning pace in the new season, taking away three consecutive victories from Washington is much more difficult than the previous two victories.

David Falk is looking forward to the match between Linsen and Arenas, and he even hopes that Linsen will face Arenas in the game. Everyone knows that Arenas' defense is far inferior to his.

attack.

Today's Arenas is undoubtedly a first-line player in the league. Last season, he averaged a terrifying 29.7 points per game. The duel between Lin Sen and Arenas will undoubtedly attract more media attention.

The matchups between the first two games are not comparable.

As long as Lin Sen performs well in the duel with Arenas, the benefits can be imagined. In addition to Arenas, Kobe and Iverson in this league are obviously not Lin Sen can challenge, then

Arenas is the best.

This game was also arranged to be broadcast live across the United States by ESPN. Originally, the total number of national live broadcasts for the Timberwolves in the new season was only 8, but after the Timberwolves selected Lin Sen, the total number of live broadcasts increased to 18, not including the temporarily increased number of live broadcasts.

Lin Sen's influence on the Timberwolves can be reflected in this aspect.

At ten o'clock in the morning Washington time, the Timberwolves' special plane arrived in Washington.

Devin Casey asked everyone to go back to the hotel to rest before there will be adaptive training tomorrow.

"Wood, World Chinese Weekly wants to conduct an exclusive interview with you. We will arrange the time and location after the game." David Falk on the other end of the phone said.

David Falk added: "Their headquarters newspaper is actually Sing Tao Daily, which is the largest Chinese-language newspaper in the world, and I see no reason for us to say no."

"It's all up to you. I'm watching Gilbert's game video now. As you said, I'm also looking forward to tomorrow's game."

"OK, I'll make the arrangements. All you need to do is perform well on the court. As long as you perform well tomorrow, your fame will be one step closer."

"David, I can." Lin Sen said with a smile.

"I don't ask much of you tonight. Don't have any other ideas. Play with all your strength and play your best!" Devin Casey looked at Linsen and said. He was worried that Linsen would be like this when facing Arenas.

There will be pressure on the big-name players.

"Coach, I know how to do it, but can I..." tonight

"More offense?" Devin Casey stared into Linson's eyes.

Lin Sen didn't know what Devin Casey was thinking, but facing a scoring maniac like Arenas, he couldn't hold back his desire to score. But without the coach's consent, he could only hold back his desire to score.

.

Looking at Lin Sen's look, Devin Casey held back his smile: "Do you think I will agree?"

"I hope to agree."

"It's up to you. If you play badly, I won't leave you on the court."

Listening to Devin Casey's words, Lin Sen wanted to hug Devin Casey and give him a kiss.

"I won't let you down." Lin Sen vowed.

"Hopefully." Devin Casey said and walked out of the locker room. There were still forty minutes before the start of the game. When Devin Casey walked out of the locker room, reporters poured in for pre-game interviews.

Most reporters flocked to Garnett and Linsen, and there were only a few reporters in front of others. At this moment, Arenas was also surrounded by reporters in the Washington Wizards locker room.

"Gilbert, what do you want to say to the rookie Wood Lin you are facing tonight?"

"What do you think his future will be like? Wood Lin performed very well in the first two games."

"There's a rumor that you're going to teach rookie Wood Lin a lesson tonight, right?"

"There is news in the Los Angeles Times that Wood Lin wants to compete with you in terms of firepower. Do you think he is overestimating his capabilities?"

…

Arenas naturally knew that some of the words were made up, but he was very interested in Lin Sen after watching the videos of Lin Sen's first two games.

Especially Lin Sen's celebration gesture when he failed to score a three-pointer in the game against the Bobcats. This was what he had always wanted to do, but he didn't expect that Lin Sen, a rookie, would take the lead.

"Wood is a great young man. I watched one of his NCAA games last year. At that time, I felt that he could gain a foothold in the NBA, and the facts have proved this. He played very smoothly in the first two games, but

As a senior, I think he still needs more efforts. This is his beginning, and he should never lose confidence at any time. Even when he is in a bad state, he must believe in himself." Arenas faced the media.

Lin Sen gave his own suggestions.

Lin Sen looked at the reporter in front of him and smiled: "I like Gilbert's game very much. He brings me passion and I like his input on the court. I know I am still far away from him.

But I will work hard."

Just as the reporters were leaving the locker room, a figure hurriedly barged in.

"Wow."

Someone in the locker room couldn't help shouting because a sexy woman came in.

If it weren't for the voice recorder in the woman's hand and the journalist's credentials on her chest, everyone would have thought that the woman was a movie star or a super model.

"Sorry, I'm late. Can I ask a simple question?" The woman walked directly in front of Lin Sen. She also knew that the time for the pre-match interview had actually arrived.

At this moment, she felt a little regretful. If it hadn't been for the damn traffic jam, she would have had time after auditioning for the crew. Currently, her job as a reporter was her main source of livelihood, so she came in even though she knew it was against the rules.

Lin Sen looked at the woman in front of him, and he could feel Garnett's murderous gaze.

"I want to warm up, so hurry up." Lin Sen decided to ignore Garnett.

"I am Teresa Palmer, a reporter from World Chinese Weekly. Many Chinese came to the scene tonight. Do you have anything to say to them?"

"Gilbert was fourth in scoring last season, do you think you could possibly score more than him tonight?"

After Lin Sen's quick answer, Teresa Palmer walked out gratefully.

"The game is about to start. During the warm-up, Wood and Gilbert both had good touch. Many Chinese came to the scene tonight. Washington should thank Wood for the ticket revenue." Hoffman joked, looking at the audience.

Tonight, the Verizon Center was rarely full. In the past, the Wizards' attendance rate was only about 80%.

"KG and Brandon are standing in the center circle, and the game is about to begin." Bill Walton said while looking at the court.

Lin Sen looked at Arenas opposite him, and Arenas happened to be looking at him.

beep!

The whistle blew and Garnett and Haywood took off at the same time.
