legendary point guard

"Chris acted as the pivot, and he and Wood cooperated directly. Wood opened up the air above San Antonio twice in a row. Robert and Oberto's pace was too slow to cover. There was more than a light-year difference between them and Wood's speed..." Charles

.Barkley said loudly.

Lin Sen completed the alley-oop on the field without any celebration. He turned around and ran to the backcourt. Stopping outside the three-point line, he put his hands on his knees and stared at Tony Parker who was advancing forward.

Eva took the lead on the sidelines to cheer for Tony Parker. Amid the cheers of the entire court, the Spurs' offense was as steady as their style of play, advancing layer by layer and tearing apart the Magic's defense.

Nowadays, the defensive strength of the Magic lineup is really lacking. Lin Sen, who was blocked by Ginobili, could only watch Tony Parker catch the ball again and then go to the basket and succeed in a throw.

"This kind of defense is really bad. I finally recovered two points but lost them easily. If I were Otis, I would not only continue to train Dwight and hope that he will improve, but also strengthen the forward defense.

In fact, there are many good forward players this summer, such as Charlotte Gerrard, Chicago Andres, especially Charlotte's Gerrard. Although his offensive shortcomings are obvious, his defense is absolutely nothing to say. As a friend of MJ

I know he won't pay too much to keep Gerrard, after all they still need to keep Emeka.

It just so happens that Orlando is not short of money, they have enough salary space, if they want to make a difference, they should seriously consider it." Barkley said.

Off the court, Stan Van Gundy frowned. The offensive ability of the current lineup on the court is okay, but the defense is obviously not good without Howard and Milicic.

"Darko!" Stan Van Gundy shouted at Milicic.

"Stan obviously can't stand the team's poor defense. Chris was not a good defender when he was young. As for Tony Barty? If he hadn't injured his knee two years ago, it might have played a big role.

If Darko is replaced, his height should protect his body, and his offense can also share Wood's offensive pressure." Kenny Smith said while looking at the sidelines.

After receiving Weber's serve, Lin Sen observed the Spurs' retreat and immediately started.

The Spurs have long been aware of Lin Sen's speed. When they saw Lin Sen starting to speed up, the Spurs players who were slowly retreating suddenly accelerated. However, after Lin Sen passed the center line, they stopped directly near the center circle and waited.

Follow the position of teammates.

"As soon as Wood speeds up, the Spurs' defense speed immediately becomes faster. This is Wood's speed deterrence." Kenny Smith said with a smile.

When Turkoglu came to the frontcourt, Lin Sen passed the ball directly. After passing the ball, Lin Sen immediately ran about 45 degrees to the left of the three-point line, while Turkoglu slowly led the way.

The ball moved to the right, and Eddie Jones landed at the top of the arc.

Bruce Bowen is responsible for defending Turkoglu. Turkoglu's breakthrough ability can basically be ignored, let alone facing Bowen. However, Turkoglu's height advantage also allows him to exert his support ability as always.

Weber stepped up to cover, Eddie Jones used the screen to find a chance to catch the ball, and Turkoglu immediately passed the ball.

However, after Eddie Jones attracted the defense, he immediately passed the ball back to Chris Webber in the high post. Webber's offensive range allowed Horry to pounce directly on him. At this time, Lin Sen rushed inside and took advantage of the opportunity.

Tony Barty's off-ball screen found the ball.

Just as Linsen was running, Turkoglu had already reached the top left position of the arc. Facing Oberto Linson who was defending, he turned back and looked at the moon and threw the ball to the outside.

"Hido's chance!" Kenny Smith shouted loudly, and Turkoglu, who caught the ball, threw the ball before Ginobili came up to defend.

Whoosh!

A clear sound of wiping the net sounded the next second.

"Hido, great shot!" Lin Sen and Turkoglu high-fived.

As long as someone can step up and share the load, that's good. It's impossible for him to defeat the powerful Spurs by just relying on him to attack alone.

"Hido's three-pointer was too timely. That's it. As long as someone can score, it's good." Barkley said.

**Vicci, who was sitting off the court, turned to look at **Duncan next to him: "Tim, you can play in a while."

Looking at Vicky, Duncan nodded.

During the transition between offense and defense, Horry failed to hit a three-pointer from the outside. Turkoglu grabbed the defensive rebound and immediately handed it to Lin Sen.

However, the Magic, who returned to the offensive end, also failed to make a hit. Stan Van Gundy waved his hand in annoyance when he saw the ball slipping out of the basket.

"It's a pity. I thought the goal was scored. Chris himself was very depressed. If it had been scored, the point difference would have been reduced to five points." Kenny Smith said while looking at Weber who was rubbing his hands in depression.

Lin Sen just stared at Tony Parker in front of him. Parker's offense mainly consisted of pull-up jump shots and layups and floaters at the basket. There were almost no three-pointers, so Lin Sen was very open.

"Want to pass the ball? You don't have the confidence to beat me, a rookie, right?" Lin Sen said with a smile.

Tony Parker, who was about to pass the ball to Ginobili, immediately gave up the idea when he heard Linson's words: "No confidence? Are you kidding? This joke is really terrible."

With continuous movements, Parker's dribbling range was very large. Lin Sen looked at Parker in front of him with a smile.

The time for the basketball to bounce back and forth between the palm of the hand and the floor is getting shorter and shorter, and the range of movement is getting wider and wider.

Lin Sen changed his steps following Parker's dribbling and looked a little messy.

"Rookie, it's now!" Tony Parker muttered in a low voice. Once again, the ball changed direction greatly. The ball moved from the left hand to the right hand, and Lin Sen in front of him slid to his right.

Snapped!

Parker hit the ball hard with his right hand, and the ball flew to the ground again.

Just as Parker was hitting the ball, Lin Sen, who was sliding to the right, cut the ball directly with his right hand at lightning speed.

Snapped!

Hearing the sound of the collision between his hand and the ball, Parker, who was waiting for the ball to arrive, saw Lin Sen's body coming to him from half a distance away from him, and he immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Wood strikes!" Barkley yelled.

While stealing the ball with his right hand, Lin Sen's left foot got stuck on the right side of Parker's body.

Lin Sen used his left foot as a pivot and pulled with his right hand. Lin Sen, who was close to Parker, threw Parker behind him in the next moment.

"Wood, Wood grabbed the ball, pulled the ball and turned around. This is a competition of speed!" Kenny Smith looked at the court and Lin Sen shouted after pulling the ball and turning around.

Parker, who had the ball stolen, immediately turned around and accelerated as Lin Sen started to speed up. He pressed tightly against Lin Sen and tried to use his body to slow down Lin Sen.

The Spurs generals did not expect Parker to have the ball stolen, and although Parker and Lin Sen were entangled together, the two were like running into a good opponent in a 100-meter race. They were so fast that others could not help at all.

Lin Sen, who was dribbling the ball, was unable to get rid of Parker and gain an obvious advantage under Parker's constant collision. In this way, the two came to the front three-point line.

Eva on the sidelines expanded her hands into trumpets and shouted loudly at the court: "TP, come on, TP, you can do it!"

"**!" Lin Sen's mind was racing at the lingering ghost of Parker.

The two of them had already entered the free throw line, and Lin Sen made a sudden stop.

There was a harsh friction sound between the sneakers and the floor, and at the same time, both hands violently lifted the ball.

Parker, who had been working hard to get close to Lin Sen, was caught off guard and directly moved away from Lin Sen. When he saw Lin Sen raising the ball with both hands, he jumped up without thinking.

When he jumped up, he immediately regretted it, because the time he and Lin Sen, a rookie, had just staggered was enough for him to complete the attack, and the rookie didn't take action immediately because he obviously wanted to get more.

Just as Parker thought, Lin Sen wanted not just two points, but three points.

Seeing Parker jump up, Lin Sen immediately stepped forward to greet him.

Snapped!

Lin Sen's left arm hit Parker's right hand, and the referee's whistle sounded immediately.

"Rookie, I will never let you hit a three-pointer." Parker growled in his heart, and the strength of his right hand increased instantly.

Lin Sen, who was adjusting, had no idea that Parker would suddenly apply more force, his body's center of gravity suddenly lost, and he fell directly to the floor.

Linsen Parker breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him fall down, and a smile flashed on his face.

This smile could not escape Lin Sen's eyes, and Lin Sen, who was originally preparing to take protective measures, was completely aroused.

Just as he was about to fall to the floor, Lin Sen aimed at the basket and pushed the ball out.

Bang!

Lin Sen fell sideways, and the bones in his waist hit the floor hard.

The pain suddenly rushed to his head, and Lin Sen couldn't help but take a breath of air.

Boom!

Whoosh!

The ball that was forced out hit the board and fell into the basket.

"Wood, are you okay?" Eddie Jones ran up and asked.

"I'm fine!" Lin Sen took Eddie Jones's hand and stood up. The pain in the bones on his waist was still obvious, but it was more like a bruise.

Carolina and Natalie Portman on the sidelines were heartbroken. Seeing Lin Sen stand up, their brows did not relax, because after the last game, as Lin Sen's closest people, they understood

I remember that Lin Sen was bruised and swollen in many places on his body, not to mention the blood stains left by being caught.

"Even a foul can't stop me from scoring. Maybe I should thank you for the points!" Lin Sen stared at Parker who was not far away from him and said.

Lin Sen stopped when he passed by Parker: "I forgot to say something, are you sure I was joking at first?"

After saying that, Lin Sen stood directly on the free throw line.

At this time, Duncan also took the opportunity to replace Oberto, and Milicic also replaced Tony Barty.

"Wood doesn't seem to have any problem. He just fell hard. I heard the sound of falling on the floor here. He already fell a lot in the last game, but Wood did a good job of protecting himself when he fell.

, otherwise I’m really worried that he won’t be able to handle it with his body like this.” Kenny Smith said, looking at Lin Sen at the free throw line.

"I have been opposed to Wood's style of play from the beginning, but he changed a lot in the latter part of the regular season, but in the playoffs, especially in the last game, as you said, it is heartbreaking to watch, this style of play

Even if it doesn't seem like much now, the impact will always show up later. To avoid this, in addition to Wood himself developing new offensive methods such as various jump shots, the team also needs reinforcements."

As Barkley spoke, Lin Sen threw the ball. The pain in his waist made Lin Sen's hand shake slightly when he shot.

"Rebound!"

Lin Sen said loudly, but Lin Sen was lucky. The ball hit the basket and bounced high before falling into the basket.

"It seems God is also helping me!" Lin Sen shrugged and said.

The pain in his waist gradually eased with the movement of his steps. After Tony Parker dribbled the ball through halftime, he wanted to play Lin Sen alone again to prove himself, but in the Spurs, no one except **Vicci himself has the privilege.

, even his most beloved **Duncan.

Parker passed the ball directly to Ginobili, who directly passed the ball to Duncan with his back inside.

Milicic, who had just come on the field, was close to Duncan, and Duncan had his back against Milicic.

His back hit twice, and then he started dribbling. Lin Sen, who was one step inside the three-point line, looked at Duncan and thought about going up to double-team.

At this moment, Duncan feinted, turned around, raised the ball with both hands, and flicked the ball with his right hand while leaning back a little.

Milicic jumped as much as possible to block the shot, but Duncan's shot jumped over Milicic's head and flew to the basket.

Boom!

Whoosh!

"Tim's signature rebound goal, Darko's defense is good, but he is facing Tim. Facing Tim's shot, few people can block it head-on. We can only hope for Tim himself."

There is something wrong with my hand." Kenny Smith said with a smile.

Although Duncan's performance was average in the first quarter, he returned to the court as if the Spurs had a backbone.

Although the pain in Lin Sen's waist has improved a lot, it is limited to running without the ball. The pain will increase significantly when he dribbles, especially when he bends over to dribble. This makes Lin Sen have to make more choices.

He passed the ball and then looked for an open space, but the pain affected Lin Sen's speed to some extent.

Lin Sen didn't have many good chances until the end of the first half, but fortunately the Spurs' touch wasn't very good either.

At the end of the first half, the Spurs led the Magic by 10 points.

"Wood has been a little surprised in the past few minutes. He suddenly seems to have lost his previous energy."

"Kenny, what you said is good, but I can't see the specifics. I hope it's not something that affects him, it's just an adjustment of his own state. I hope I can see the best Wood in the second half." Barkley said.

"Are you OK?"

"Would you like to take a rest?"

Looking at the concerned Carolina and Natalie Portman, Lin Sen felt warm in his heart: "I'm fine, don't worry."

After Lin Sen finished speaking, he followed his teammates directly to the players' tunnel.

"John, give me a massage."

"Wood, what's wrong with you?" Hearing Lin Sen's voice, Stan Van Gundy turned around and asked.

"It's nothing serious. I'll just let John massage it. I'm sorry to bother you, John."

"It doesn't matter, this is my job." The team's physical therapist immediately stood up and led Lin Sen to the physical therapy room.

"There's a big swelling. You should have applied ice as soon as possible. I think this may have affected your performance." John said with a bit of a scolding accent. In his opinion, Lin Sen was irresponsible for his body.

"John, I thought it was fine. Fortunately, it is just swollen. It will be much better after applying ice. I will pay attention to it in the second half."

"There's really nothing we can do about you. Please be careful next time. You're still young and your career still has a long time to go." John said while giving Lin Sen ice packs and massages.

Lin Sen spent the entire twenty-minute intermission in the physical therapy room. After John's ice pack and massage, Lin Sen felt much better.

"You should pay attention to yourself and remember to come back to me after the game." John did not forget to remind him.

After saying that, Stan Van Gundy and John chatted for a few words, and everyone walked out of the locker room.

"At the beginning of the second half, San Antonio took the lead in attacking!"

As Kenny Smith spoke, Tony Parker advanced with the ball. After reaching the frontcourt, Parker directly hoisted the ball into the inside and handed it to Duncan. Facing Howard's defense, Duncan directly turned around and faced the frame.

Looking at Duncan holding the ball in both hands, Howard became nervous.

After two consecutive tentative steps, Duncan raised the ball and Howard immediately jumped up.

"Dwight was deceived, and he still couldn't control his feet like they were spring-loaded," Barkley said.

Duncan, who deceived Howard, swatted the ball, stepped away from Howard with his right hand, and slammed the ball into the basket.

"Tim scored the first goal for the Spurs in the second half. Dwight took off too easily. Charles, as you said, seemed to have springs in his feet. But it is understandable that such a situation would happen to a player like Tim, but two at a time

It’s understandable four times or five times, but it’s a bit inappropriate.” Kenny Smith said.

"Hido, you dribble the ball!" Lin Sen pulled Turkoglu and whispered.

Terkoglu nodded and walked directly to the baseline. Linsen immediately passed the ball to Turkoglu after receiving the ball.

**Vicci looked at the court and then made a gesture. Tony Parker immediately followed Lin Sen when he reached the frontcourt and approached the three-point line.

Bruce Bowen also followed Turkoglu, but Turkoglu passed the ball to Milicic and passed the ball continuously to Linsen at the top of the arc.

Parker, who was guarding him, was blocked by Milicic, and Finley on the other side pounced over. When Finley pounced in front of him, Linsen threw the ball in his hand.

"Three-point hit! Wood responded powerfully with a three-pointer!" Barkley said loudly.

Linsen then received the ball and assisted Milicic for a mid-range shot. In the following time, Linsen became the second organizer and shooter, while Turkoglu played the role that Linsen had before coming to the Magic.

The good touch helped the Magic launch a fierce attack, once chasing the point difference to only three points. However, at this moment, the Magic least wanted to see a scene on the court. (To be continued.)
