legendary point guard
Chapter 390 The biggest test of my career
No matter how much the reporters pressed Lin Sen, he still didn't respond to what happened during the halftime break. The same was true for Carolina and the others, and the way both sides kept it secret made people curious enough to investigate.
When the reporters left the Water House Center, like most onlookers, they discovered the new developments on the official website of Wood Lin Company.
"Damn, this is just a naked hype." Many people expressed such emotion.
Although many people think that the hype is also selfish, more people still think that Lin Sen's company shamelessly took advantage of the unparalleled platform advantage of the Christmas War for commercial promotion.
Both the Cleveland media and the New York media couldn't wait to express their dissatisfaction and accusations against Linson's opportunistic publicity behavior and suggested that the league punish him.
"This is just a performance. Why should I be punished? I don't know if there is any NBA rule that does not allow such performances during halftime. If this is not allowed, maybe I can trouble you not to wear branded clothes in the NBA in the future.
Otherwise it is a violation of the live broadcast camera." Paris Hilton, the topic queen of Woodland Company's CEO, responded unceremoniously.
She knows that what she needs now is exposure, and whether it's a fine or not is not the point, but the media's entanglement is what she wants.
"Although our investigation does not believe that there is a particularly serious violation, this is a halftime performance officially allowed by the Orlando Magic. We just hope that in the future, all teams will avoid such commercial activities without the league's knowledge."
Sexual performance." NBA Vice President Stu Jackson announced the NBA's decision at 9 a.m. the day after the Christmas Day game. This decision undoubtedly disappointed many people.
At the same time, the league announced the results of the second round of All-Star voting for the 2007-2008 season. When the first round results were released, the gap between Lin Sen and this year's voting leader, Kevin Garnett, was less than 20,000 votes.
After the results of this round came out, Linsen has successfully overtaken Garnett, who joined the Celtics through a big deal in the off-season, and is in the lead with 1,345,593 votes, which is better than Dwyane Wade, the second-ranked guard in the Eastern Conference.
The 620,000 votes were fully doubled, and nearly 800,000 more than the third place Jason Kidd.
Locking in the Eastern All-Star starting guard for the second consecutive year is almost a sure thing. If Lin Sen, who was still a rookie last year, transferred from the Western Conference to the Eastern Conference and eventually squeezed out Vince Carter to become the Eastern All-Star starting guard, it caused huge controversy.
Well, this year's voice has been significantly weakened. After all, Lin Sen's average data and team record this season are real.
Garnett, who was ranked first in the first round, was ranked second with a gap of nearly 100,000 votes after the results of this round were released, and ranked third was the Cleveland Cavaliers, who had just been defeated by Lin Sen.
The team’s LeBron James ranked third in the Eastern Conference and third in the league with nearly 900,000 votes.
Lin Sen's teammate Dwight Howard was ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference, less than 10,000 votes behind third-placed James, but he had a full 300,000 votes more than center Shaquille O'Neal, who was second in the Eastern Conference.
There is almost no problem locking in the starting center position in the Eastern Conference.
Ranked first in the Western Conference is Kobe Bryant with 890,000 votes. As Lin Sen’s good buddy, Chris Paul has a dominant performance of 20 points and 11 assists this season. He is the host of this All-Star but only got 17
With 10,000 votes, it is no longer possible to get a starting guard spot in the fiercely competitive Western Conference.
There are still two rounds of voting results before the New Orleans All-Star voting results are finally announced. In this round of voting, Lin Sen, who overtook Garnett to take first place, is undoubtedly a strong contender for this year's All-Star voting crown.
Orlando is constantly promoting Linson, Howard, Billups and Artest, and the best way to attract votes for them is undoubtedly their outstanding performance on the court.
On the third day after the Christmas Day game, the Magic welcomed the Western Conference powerhouse Utah Jazz at home. This was also the last regular season match between the two sides this season. The last time they met, Lin Sen, the energy solution center, did not perform well.
Although he used a 2+1 at the critical moment to help the team overtake the score and finally take away the victory, Lin Sen lost the data in the direct dialogue with Deron. Although he scored 24 points and 8 assists in the game,
Deron scored a dominant 28 points and 12 assists.
And in that game, Lin Sen's shooting percentage was lower than 50% for the first time in the new season. The Utah Jazz, who reached the Western Conference finals last season, are still in good shape in the new season. Although they are currently only ranked fourth in the Western Conference, they are still far behind.
The Los Angeles Lakers, who are first in the Western Conference, are only two games behind.
Although Utah's Turk Menet Okur is in worse shape this season than last season when he was selected as an All-Star, and his scoring average is nearly 4 points less per game, his ability to shoot three-pointers is enough to give defenders a headache.
Carlos Boozer, who is known as a Cleveland rebel, continues to be in the 20+10 club. He continues to be the Jazz's scoring and rebounding leader this season, and is the Jazz's biggest weapon in attacking the city.
The Magic insiders, whether it is Dwight Howard, who played 20+10 last season, or Darko Milicic, who suddenly emerged as the second pick in the playoffs, have performed well this season. Countless fans are looking forward to the duel in the paint.
Although the statistics of AK47 Kirilenko on the front line cannot be compared with those of two years ago, everyone knows that he has made sacrifices for the team and is not incapable of getting good statistics. He was in poor form last season and was in the off-season.
He was involved in trade rumors, and the Magic once considered Kirilenko but ultimately gave up on bringing him in because of Kirilenko's big contract.
AK47, which has gotten rid of injuries this season, has caused huge trouble to players at the forward and guard positions on the defensive end. When the Magic and Jazz played against each other for the first time, Lin Sen felt the true strength of Kirilenko. During the game, Lin Sen
Sen was rudely blocked once by Kirilenko.
The Jazz shooting guard position is Ronnie Brewer, who entered the NBA at the same level as Lin Sen. After Fisher returned to the Lakers this season, he successfully occupied the starting shooting guard position, although his three-point ability is very poor.
It cannot be compared with Fisher, but his fast break and breakthrough ability are very good. In addition to his excellent physical fitness, what the Jazz value is his tough defense. These are far beyond the comparison of Fisher.
.
Last season, he was only a substitute when he played against the Jazz against Brewer, and his restrictions on Linsen were also very limited. However, I could feel his improvement against Linsen for the first time this season. Although Brewer's shooting posture was ugly, Linsen couldn't see it.
I feel like crying.
As for the point guard position, Lin Sen is very familiar with it. This season, Deron, who is entering the third year of his rookie contract like Chris Paul, has made considerable progress due to his baptism in the playoffs last year. He averaged 19 points per game for the Jazz.
With 10.5 assists, third in the league, he is the real brains of the Utah Jazz and the real successor to Stockton in the hearts of Utahns.
Although they unfortunately stopped in the Western Conference finals last season, they have not made any big moves this season. The only big move was the acquisition of three-point shooter Kyler Korver from the Hawks through a trade a week ago, which further improved the team's outside shooting ability.
Reinforcement.
Although the Utah Jazz's bench is not as eye-catching as the Magic's bench, it is not bad at all. There are excellent rotation players from inside to outside. The biggest difference between the two teams is the coaching staff.
There is no doubt about the coaching ability of great coach Jerry Sloan. Although Stan Van Gundy has led the team to the Finals and his coaching ability has improved rapidly, he still cannot compare one to one. However, the Magic's luxurious coaching staff has made up for the gap to some extent.
As for the state, it goes without saying that the Orlando Magic currently tops the league with a record of 26 wins and 3 losses. They just defeated the league's second-place Cleveland Cavaliers by a huge margin of 27 points in the Christmas game, and their morale is high.
The Utah Jazz also just defeated the defending champion San Antonio Spurs, who knocked them out of the Western Conference Finals last year, at home.
The direct dialogue between the two teams is worthy of attention from players to coaches. ESPN also scheduled this game to be broadcast live in the United States early at the beginning of the season. I have to say that the league's schedule is very good because after this game, the Magic will need
Head to New Orleans, the venue for this year’s All-Star Game.
In New Orleans against the Hornets, who were in particularly good shape this season, that game was not only another duel between brothers Linson and Paul, but also another duel between the top point guards of the new generation.
"Wood and Deron are hugging each other. The two of them have a good relationship, and they are both new generation superstars in the league's point guard position. This can be considered a healthy competition." Hoffman looked at Linsen and Deron on the court.
Long said.
Bill Walton smiled and said: "Yes, in the next ten years, Wood, Deron, and Chris will take over the banner of Steve and Jason, but one thing I want to say is that these three little guys not only pass on the
The ball is good and the scoring ability is even better. Neither Jason nor Steve has such a strong scoring ability as either of them, especially Wood."
"You guy, stop talking nonsense!"
"Am I talking nonsense? After I deal with you and go back from the east, I will deal with that guy Chris. You know, he met me." Deron smiled very obscenely and slapped Lin Sen hard on the back.
Two times.
"That's Chris's own business and I don't care about it, but you can't take away the victory tonight." Lin Sen also slapped Deron hard on the back twice, "Besides, I have to win today's personal data.
you."
"To win against me, you have to ask me if Andre and Ronnie agree."
"The wretched fat man!"
After letting go of each other, Deron and Lin Sen's fists collided.
"See you at the game!"
"See you at the game!"
"There was no suspense about the jump ball, and Dwight won easily!" Bill Walton's voice said as the game kicked off.
Howard easily handed the ball to Linsen. As soon as Linsen caught the ball, Deron appeared in front of him. In this game, Sloan arranged for Deron, Kirilenko and Brewer to take turns to defend Linsen.
Although Deron's defense is not top-notch, his strength and footwork are enough to do well at the guard position. With Brewer and Kirilenko, each of them can defend well enough alone, not to mention Linsen.
Need to face the wheel defense of three people.
The pressure Lin Sen faced in this game can be imagined. It can almost be regarded as the biggest test Lin Sen has faced on the defensive end since entering the NBA.
Linsen also made adequate preparations before the game. He did not attack by himself at the beginning but handed the ball to the inside man Milicic due to interference from Deron.
Facing Boozer's defense, Milicic took advantage of his absolute height advantage to hit a jumper, opening the scoring for the Magic.
