legendary point guard

Chapter Thirty-Nine The last vote

"Wood really exceeded everyone's expectations. He attacked the basket with all his might. The goal seemed a bit lucky, but this was the best compliment for him. If the extra free throw was made, Minnesota would be only one point behind.

There are still 58 seconds left before the end of the game. For nearly a minute, it is still hard to predict who will win and who will lose." Bill Walton said.

Hoffman next to Bill Walton smiled: "If Minnesota wants to come back and win, I personally suggest that Wood not take on the task of guarding Gilbert."

"It seems that what you said is really good." Bill Walton turned his head and said with a smile.

Lin Sen stood on the free throw line and looked at the referee at the bottom line.

The boos in the audience became louder and louder, and many fans in the auditorium behind the basket waved their big white towels.

Even more exaggerated was a fat man with his upper body exposed, and the fat on his chest trembled as he swayed.

Lin Sen glanced away, took the ball and stopped looking at the fat man.

After patting the ball, Lin Sen looked at the basket and shot the ball.

Amidst the boos, Lin Sen's extra free throw hit the rim and bounced up, but to his surprise, the ball fell and went into the rim.

The MIC Center was filled with regrets. They thought Lin Sen would miss this crucial free throw, but they didn't expect the ball to play a joke on them.

Chen Hao was also startled, but immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the ball go in.

There are still 58 seconds left before the end of the game.

At this moment, the Timberwolves are still one point behind, so the importance of defense this time is self-evident.

The entire Timberwolves team quickly returned to defense, waiting for the Wizards' offense.

Back on the defensive end, Linsen did not guard Arenas, but handed the defensive task to Hassell.

Hassell stared at Arenas in front of him. Arenas continuously crossed his steps, his face completely full of confidence.

Bang!

Arenas' body collided with Hassell's and at the same time he changed direction and pulled the ball.

Hassell's defense exposed some gaps, and Arenas seized this gap.

Lin Sen watched Arenas take off and immediately pounced on him, but it was still not enough to affect Arenas' shooting.

The crisp sound of wiping the net made the cheers in the MIC center go crazy again. The Wizards fans who had been depressed by Lin Sen's two plus one were completely restored to their vitality at this moment.

Devin Casey looked at Arenas celebrating with some helplessness. Arenas' touch tonight was really great.

"Gilbert's key mid-range shot, he completely ignored Trenton's defense, and the three-point lead put all the pressure back on Minnesota." Hoffman said looking at the score.

Caron Butler looked at Lin Sen in front of him seriously. The rookie in front of him was too cunning, especially when he had to deal with other people's pick-and-rolls for Lin Sen.

Now that the game has reached a critical moment, as long as we can prevent this attack, we will not be far from our first victory of the season.

Lin Sen did not rush to dribble, but held the ball around his waist. The standard triple threat action did not seem to have any offensive intention.

As time passed by second by second, Lin Sen grabbed the ball with both hands and raised it up. His originally hunched body became straight in an instant, as if it was a prelude to shooting.

Caron Butler stepped forward and extended his right hand in front of Lin Sen, but he did not take off. Apparently he was worried that Lin Sen's action at this moment was a fake move.

But this was enough for Lin Sen. He quickly collected the ball, and Butler also immediately collected his hand. He was a little happy that he didn't take off.

But Lin Sen's speed was too fast. Butler slid back and tried to block Lin Sen, but soon he was blocked again by someone.

"Damn it, another cover!" Butler spat secretly.

Lin Sen did not slow down. Facing Stevenson who wanted to pull up to cover, he changed direction and rushed directly to the inside.

Jamison looked at Lin Sen, who was rushing to the inside, raising his arms high, but Lin Sen jumped towards Jamison without any fear.

But the next second the ball left Lin Sen's hands.

Bang!

The basket screamed and Haywood was knocked out of the baseline by Garnett's legs.

Garnett let go of the basket, briefly celebrated with Lin Sen, and immediately ran to the backcourt.

Eddie Jordan had no choice but to use the last long timeout at the referee.

He must make good use of this long timeout to ensure that the team can win the final victory.

"Wood passed the ball just right this time. The cooperation between him and KG is really skillful now. Look at Wood's left hand passing the ball from behind to KG just after taking off. It's so beautiful." Hoffman watched the replay on the big screen.

exclaimed.

"It's only one point difference again, there are still 30 seconds left in the game, and the suspense of who will win and who loses still continues." Bill Walton added.

After the timeout, the Wizards were not in a hurry to attack. For them, pursuing success rate and consuming game time were the most important things.

The Wizards had already made up their minds, even if they couldn't score a goal, they would still have to exhaust the 24 seconds of attack time.

Arenas controlled the ball, Hassel did not dare to let Arenas go too far, and Arenas was not in a hurry to attack.

Off the court, Devin Casey looked nervously at the court. As time passed by, the Timberwolves fans became nervous.

Arenas didn't start until there were only eight seconds left in the twenty-four-second attack time.

Under Hassell's defense, Arenas' shot with 24 seconds of attack time failed to hit.

Garnett grabbed a crucial defensive rebound under Madsen's screen and immediately used up the team's last short stop.

Bill Walton looked at the Timberwolves bench: "Gilbert missed a shot that he shouldn't have missed. There are only 5.3 seconds left for Minnesota. If they want to win, Minnesota must make good use of these 5.3 seconds.

Seconds, who's going to take Minnesota's final shot?"

"Is it KG, the rookie Wood who had a great touch tonight and scored 29 points, or someone else." Hoffman said.

"I think KG is more likely. After all, Wood is still a rookie. Although he has a big heart, he is only in the NCAA arena and not the NBA arena. I don't know how Devin will arrange it." Bill Walton finished.

Then he looked at the Wizards bench.

At this moment, Eddie Jordan was nervously making arrangements: "They should hand it over to KG. Then Brandon, your task is to keep an eye on him and don't let him have a comfortable shot. If they hand it over to that rookie, it's best to

Prevent him from taking a shot, and if he can't, don't give him a chance to take a shot from the outside."

"Forcing him to go inside, it's best to force him to take mid-range shots, understand?" Eddie Jordan scanned every player.

"clear!"

The Wizards team members shouted in unison.

"The first option is to hand the ball to KG. KG, you serve the ball from the sideline and then immediately cut inside to try to get a good shot from the mid-range. Eddie, you are responsible for covering KG." Devin Casey drew two on the tactical board.

The offensive line that allowed Garnett to catch the ball.

"If KG fails, then the second option is..." Devin Casey looked at Mike James, whose face was full of anticipation.

Looking at Ricky Davis, Ricky Davis wanted to put it on his face and ask me to come.

Without stopping at Ricky Davis's face, Devin Casey looked at Linsen: "Wood, you are the second choice..."

Lin Sen was in charge of the team's key offense in the NCAA last season, and he was never afraid of the last shot.

But this is the NBA after all. Although he also thought about taking the last shot, when he was actually asked to do it, he still felt a little banged in his head.

Looking at Devin Casey, Lin Sen nodded.

Ten seconds later, the referee's whistle blew the players from both sides to come on stage.

Ricky Davis and Mike James looked at Lin Sen walking towards the field, their eyes full of reluctance.

Bill Walton looked at the five Timberwolves players who walked on the court: "Who will take the last shot? KG or Wood?"
