legendary point guard

"Cleveland Rings Big Ben" - This is the headline on the home page of the ESPN basketball website.

Ben Wallace wearing a headband is the background image of the title, and behind Ben Wallace is the United Center and in front of him is the Quicken Loans Center. The meaning of the picture is self-evident.

No one expected that such a big deal would actually break out at this time, with three teams including the Cleveland Cavaliers, Chicago Bulls, and Seattle SuperSonics involved.

And this three-party transaction involves as many as 11 players from three teams. Such a large-scale three-party transaction is almost the normal number of players for a team.

Throwing away other factors, just looking at the number of players involved in the transaction will give people the feeling that this is a big deal, let alone involving three All-Star level players.

Four-time winner of the Defensive Player of the Year Award, four-time All-Star Ben Wallace, former steal leader Larry Hughes, who averaged 20 points per game on the league's first defensive team, and All-Star super three-point shooter Larry Hughes

Zerbiak.

In addition, the Cleveland Cavaliers also received three years of Joe Smith, who entered the league in 1995, and a 2009 second-round draft pick from the Chicago Bulls. They also received injured super three-point shooter Szczerbiak from the SuperSonics and

Delonte West, a strong backcourt defender who left Boston for the SuperSonics this season.

The Bulls received post player Drew Gooden from the Cavaliers, as well as Larry Hughes, Shannon Brown, and Cedric Simmons, the team's second-in-command that the Cavaliers once expected; the SuperSonics will leave Seattle next season.

He played an adjusting role in this big deal of 11 people from three teams. He acquired Donnie Marshall, the record holder for three-pointers in a single game, and Newball from the Cavaliers, and Adrian Gerard was acquired from the Bulls.

Griffin.

"Cleveland got rid of Larry's bad contract as they wished. Although they got another multi-year contract that didn't look good. But Ben at least seems to be a better fit for Cleveland than Larry." The New York Times wrote.

road.

As the "New York Times" said, for Cleveland and even for any fan, you can feel the impact that Ben Wallace joining the Cavaliers has brought to other teams in the league, especially the Eastern Conference.

Cavaliers general manager Danny Ferry smiled happily: "I know that countless Cavaliers fans are looking forward to seeing the new Cleveland big man's performance against Orlando, Boston and even the Western Conference teams. This is also the reason why this attracts us. We will

Great progress moving forward and I can’t wait for the competition to start.”

As the leader of the team, LeBron James even expressed his welcome to Ben Wallace: "I knew that Ben was a super insider before I entered the league. I am very happy that I can get the chance to play with him.

Opportunity and participating as a team member.

As for Larry, thank you for his two years in Cleveland and I will remember him for all his contributions. I wish him the best of luck in Chicago."

James said it very tactfully and officially, but the vast majority of Cleveland fans did not think so. Their own team, Larry Hughes, was full of expectations, but was disappointed to the point of despair amid the huge expectations.

Now we see that Larry Hughes has left in exchange for Ben Wallace, who has better interior defense. One by one, he has begun to improve the team's interior defense that is about to be formed.

The most direct one is that the Cleveland Cavaliers will face the Orlando Magic at home before the All-Star Weekend. This is also the third time this season that the Magic and Cavaliers will face each other. This season, the Magic and Cavaliers will face each other four times in the regular season.

In the first match this season, the Magic lost miserably due to Lin Sen's poor condition. The second match was on Christmas Day, when the Magic beat the Cavaliers with 27 points at home to get back a win.

However, this upcoming third meeting is completely different from the previous two. The Cavaliers have welcomed a new supporter, Ben Wallace.

Ben Wallace is also the person that the Cavaliers hope to contain the Magic inside. This game is considered to be an Eastern Conference finals game. Not to mention it is the first time that Ben Wallace joins the Cavaliers to face a real player.

's strong team.

The Magic are also looking forward to this game, and the league is once again rumored with Cleveland's big trade. The NBA officially announced the list of players for the NBA All-Star Weekend Skills Challenge at noon on the 7th.

Lin Sen, who participated in the competition last year, finally won the skills challenge championship in 27.7 seconds. This year he participated as the defending champion, but this year he was at home in New Orleans.

In addition, host Chris Paul and Utah Jazz's Deron Williams will occupy one of the four participating spots along with Lin Sen.

This is also Lin Sen's three fucking players competing in the same arena at the same time, and the last participating spot was taken away by Jason Kidd, the old monster who has been involved in trade rumors recently. He will compete with Lin Sen and the three most promising players for the league's top spot.

The new generation of super point guards who are the best point guards compete in the skills challenge.

The Skills Challenge was held in New Orleans on the evening of February 16th, local time. The NBA official website also announced the roster for the Rookie Challenge.

Although Lin Sen conquered countless fans in just one year, the fact that he still cannot change is that he is a second-year player, so he was successfully selected for the second-year roster.

In addition to the previously announced Eastern and Western All-Star starters, Lin Sen will already participate in at least three games during the New Orleans All-Star period.

Although the list of participants for the Three-Point Contest and the Slam Dunk Contest have not been announced, everyone knows that there is almost no suspense about Lin Sen being selected for the Three-Point Contest.

As for the slam dunk contest, there has been news that Lin Sen will join the team. Although there has been no confirmation from Lin Sen himself or the NBA, the news is getting more and more true.

Although the dunk contest has not yet started, this method has already brought a lot of attention to the dunk contest, and countless fans are calling on the league to invite Lin Sen to participate.

Linsen Brand, which has independent operating rights, has also announced special All-Star sneakers like Adidas, Nike and other sneaker manufacturers.

On Wood.Lin’s official website, it was decided to accept pre-orders for All-Star special models in three days. The All-Star special models announced in advance include men’s and women’s models of Linsen’s own legendary second-generation All-Star boots in six colors.

But what is even more eye-catching is that next to the 6 All-Star color matching boots is a sign that says Please Reveal?

February 8. The Orlando Magic played against the Detroit Pistons at home. Natalie Portman, who had not appeared on the sidelines for a long time, reappeared in the public eye. However, what disappointed reporters was that her and Lin Sen’s child Amy did not

appear together.

Before this game, Linsen specifically told Milicic the team's thoughts, and Milicic felt relieved.

Facing the Detroit Pistons, who are no longer what they used to be, there is not much pressure on the Magic.

In the final game, Lin Sen only played for 22 minutes before sitting off the court. The most eye-catching thing was not Chauncey Billups or Lin Sen who faced his old team, but Darko who also faced his old team.

.Milicic.

Milicic, who had lost all confidence after being knocked down by Larry Brown in Detroit, received an accurate answer from Lin Sen before the game, and exploded again in this game.

In the last game against the Chicago Bulls, he scored a career-high 28 points in a single game. He scored 26 points again. At the same time, he created a career-high single-game rebounding high of 18 rebounds in this game and sent a chase.

Tying his career single-game shot-blocking record with 6 blocks and 5 assists.

"26 points, 18 rebounds, 6 blocks, 5 assists, oh, I thought I saw Hakeem.

Who said Darko is a parallel import? I think Detroit, which is currently working hard to rebuild, will regret sending Darko to Orlando when they see Darko. If they have Darko, the road to reconstruction will be much simpler. Look at their poor record and

The inside line is riddled with holes." "Los Angeles Times" basketball expert Ryans wrote on his Twitter.

Milicic's performance tonight really shocked everyone. No one expected that Milicic would break out for two consecutive games, and this game was even more crazy.

"I know Darko can do it, I never doubt it. He has made a lot of sacrifices for the team, and that's why I have Dwight's outstanding data. It's not that he can't do it, he just gave up the opportunity.

For us, this game is the best proof.

As for those bad trade rumors, only fools will believe that we are willing to send Darko away." Lin Sen said in an interview after the game.

Otis Smith also emphasized that the Magic will never send Milicic away, even if the other party exchanges for Tim Duncan.

On this night, the league officially announced the list of participants for the New Orleans All-Star Three-Point Shooting Contest. Lin Sen was selected without any suspense. Also selected were Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, and Daniel Gibson.

, Peja Stojakovic, Jason Kapono.

Lin Sen was the three-point contest champion last season, and his three-point shooting percentage this season is still among the top in the league. Kapono and Peja have both been three-point contest champions for many years, and the three-point contest has become something that many fans are looking forward to.

Contest.

Three days later, when Lin Sen took away the victory from Miami, the league finally announced the participants of the NBA Slam Dunk Contest.

Just like the buzzing news before, Lin Sen has actually entered the dunk contest list, but what makes fans crazy the most is that LeBron James, who has been rumored to enter the dunk contest since he entered the league, actually entered the dunk contest this year.

Entered the slam dunk contest.

In addition, there is the Timberwolves' nine-finger dunk champion Gerald Green, and the Memphis Grizzlies' new core Rudy Gay.

It is almost unnecessary to think about it. Everyone knows how popular this year's slam dunk contest will be, and TNT, which has the live broadcast rights, is even more excited.

Wood.Lin’s official website also announced the boots that you can look forward to, which are not the legendary third generation but the slam dunk contest special edition.

However, what makes fans regret is that this pair of shoes has no specific details, just a name. No one knows whether this pair of shoes is just an All-Star customized version with some subtle differences.

On February 13, the Magic will face the Cleveland Cavaliers, their last opponent before the All-Star Weekend and their most powerful opponent, on the road.

"Now I just want to talk about the upcoming game. Wood is a difficult guy. I know this is the third time we have met. I hope this game will produce what we need." James faced before the game.

This is what the reporter said in the interview.

"Oh, this game is live broadcast between the two of us. Last time I was very envious of Charles and Kenny. I could only watch them in front of the TV. This time it is finally our turn." Bill Walton said with a smile.

.

"I want to see what the new Cleveland is like. But Ben's integration is pretty good, but the bigger highlight is the joining of Delonte. I thought Larry's departure would cause the outside defense to rely on LeBron. But Delonte's

His outstanding performance made my eyes shine. After coming to Cleveland, he became a starter and performed very well in the first few games.

Dare to fight and fight hard, the key is to do a good job on the defensive end." Hoffman said.

"This is indeed beyond my expectation. In addition to this game, I really want to watch the dunk contest in a few days. When was the last time I looked forward to the dunk contest?" Bill Walton thought, "Anyway

It was a long, long time ago, maybe four or five years ago."

"The game finally started. Just look at the boos the Cleveland fans sent to Wood and you will know how much they love Wood." Hoffman joked.

"Yes. Love it very much!"

Howard and Milicic serve as inside starters, and the Cavaliers also put Ben Wallace and Igauskas into the starting lineup.

Howard easily defeated Big Z with a jump ball and pushed the ball out. Billups got the ball and the Cavaliers immediately quickly defended.

Billups went directly to the three-point line under the guard of Mike Bibby, and the person standing in front of Linsen was not the Cavaliers' new aid Delonte West, but LeBron James himself.

"Congratulations on becoming a dad and being a dad again."

"Thanks."

"I'll help you during the All-Star Game."

Lin Sen thought there was something wrong with his ears and looked at James with doubtful eyes.

"You heard me right, the gift given to the children during the All-Star Game, what happened last season will not happen." James said seriously.

Lin Sen suddenly had a feeling that James was actually very cute under his rough appearance: "Thank you, I think we can become very good friends based on your words."

Lin Sen is not a person who doesn't know how to advance and retreat. In fact, he doesn't have that much prejudice against James. Apart from James' crab steps in the on-court planning and his self-confidence as the emperor's favorite, the rest is fine. Especially when it comes to James' personal ability, Lin Sen is actually still better.

Very impressed.

"However, this game..."

"You want to win it?" Lin Sen interrupted James, "This is impossible. This is also one of the gift packages I gave to my second child."

"This is not on my list of blessing gifts." James said coldly, and his whole body once again returned to Lin Sen's familiar game state. Lin Sen smiled and pulled outside the three-point line.

"Wood seemed to be talking to LeBron about something, and they were talking and laughing. It's incredible." Hoffman said while looking at the court.

Billups looked at Lin Sen, who was running out of the three-point line, and passed the ball directly. As soon as Lin Sen caught the ball, James jumped in front of him. He was completely different from the friendly conversation just now, and he was very aggressive.

His eyes and unstoppable momentum made him feel how strong James's mentality of winning was.

"The opening is the matchup that everyone is looking forward to, LeBron vs. Wood, this is what we all want to see." Bill Walton looked forward to it.

"The game officially begins!"

"The game has officially begun!" Lin Sen said coldly.

Lin Sen made the most basic three-threat move and looked at James from top to bottom. James had a vague feeling that Lin Sen's next move was coming.

His footsteps couldn't help but move forward. Seeing the two men facing each other outside the three-point line, the Cleveland audience cheered for James with their own shouts.

Lin Sen's right foot quickly moved forward. James glanced at Lin Sen's movements and did not make any adjustments.

Lin Sen retracted his right foot, and then quickly reached out. This time he continued to explore James' left side. At the same time, he tilted his upper body sharply to James' left side, and gave James a seductive shake with his shoulders.

.

James hesitated for a moment when faced with Lin Sen's movements. He knew Lin Sen's offensive methods very well, but it was precisely because of his knowledge that he knew that Lin Sen's movements were always changeable. Such situations could often be forced breakthroughs or forced breakthroughs.

A step-back jumper.

Just when James chose to press forward, the ball passed under Lin Sen's crotch. He used his left foot as a pivot and pulled the ball directly with his right hand. Suddenly, he relied on James' body to complete the turn.

"Oh, not only was Wood not afraid, he caught LeBron's press and turned around. Wood broke through!" Bill Walton shouted.

After completing his turn, Lin Sen cut in directly from the right side of James, but at this time James' strong body showed an innate advantage on the defensive end.

When Lin Sen turned around, the bodies of the two collided. Although the best defensive opportunity was lost, the collision still interfered with Lin Sen's dribbling rhythm.

This interference also affected Lin Sen's cutting speed. James seized this opportunity and slid backwards to block Lin Sen again.

"LeBron reacted quickly. His strong body made up for the fact that he was almost thrown away by Wood just now." Hoffman shouted looking at the court, and the Cavaliers fans at Quicken Loans Center immediately gave James a huge

of cheers.

"Wood, you're just a little bit close to succeeding."

Lin Sen smiled coldly and did not hit back at James, but stabilized his rhythm again.

James took another step forward and pressed his entire body against Lin Sen. Combined with his open arms, it seemed that Lin Sen had only one option and that was to pass the ball.

Although Lin Sen is a point guard, as basketball experts say, Lin Sen is a guy with offensive blood flowing in his bones, and will also create a new era of point guards.

Facing James' defense, Lin Sen did not choose to be afraid but continued to challenge. Stan Van Gundy on the sidelines was not anxious at all. This is also Lin Sen's privilege as the leader of the team.

He pulled his left foot back, and the short time difference allowed him to gain valuable space. At this time, James pressed forward again.

Lin Sen did not wait passively but instead kicked the ground with his right foot and rushed towards James' right side without any false moves.

However, James quickly reacted, moving laterally and then retreating. He was confident in his defense. Since he was able to block Lin Sen just now, he could do it this time.

James puffed up his chest again and prepared to use strength to interfere with Lin Sen's attack. He knew that Lin Sen's speed was incomparable to him. Then strength is the best choice, and the defense just now proved this.

As long as Lin Sen didn't pass the ball, he would even have the confidence to block Lin Sen's head and face. Thinking of doing it, James puffed out his chest and stuck to it.

boom!

The two bodies collided, but this time Lin Sen was mentally prepared. However, even though he was prepared, Lin Sen's center of gravity was still unstable. However, this time James did not expect that the force sent back by Lin Sen was much greater than before.

Young, the whole person's center of gravity was also unstable.

Lin Sen's left hand supported the ground amidst the cheers of Cavaliers fans. It was the support of his left hand that Lin Sen stabilized his body. He took another step forward and stabilized his body at the same time. When James was preparing to defend again

Lin Sen just pulled it up and threw it.

Before Ben Wallace came up to defend, the ball left his hand and flew toward the basket.

The sound of the basketball hitting the net made James slightly disappointed. His defense just now was close to success.

"Wood still stubbornly sent the ball into the basket, and LeBron's defense was eventually defeated by Wood." Hoffman sighed.

"Wood's physical fitness has improved a lot compared to last season. I heard that Lindsay has been admitted to the hospital and seems to be giving birth in the next few days. I want to know what Wood will do if it happens to be during the All-Star Game.

David will definitely be depressed to death." Bill Walton said with a smile.

After scoring the goal, Lin Sen ran directly to the backcourt without any celebration or provocation.

Mike Bibby dribbled the ball into the frontcourt, and James took the ball.

As soon as James caught the ball, the Quicken Loans Center cheered.

But Artest obviously won't let them get what they want. His muscles are no less strong than James' Artest.

James was unable to find a good offensive opportunity while Artest was guarding him. James looked inside.

Ben Wallace, who had just joined the Cavaliers, immediately understood and ran to the high post. However, Ben Wallace's lack of offensive ability also prevented Howard from following up to defend, which could also put pressure on James.

Facing Ben Wallace's screen, Artest was helpless. Ben Wallace successfully helped James block Artest.

Lin Sen, who was guarding West on the side, watched Ben Wallace pull up and turned his attention to James' side. When James accelerated and used Ben Wallace's pick-and-roll to get rid of Artest's

At that moment, Lin Sen immediately dropped West and rushed towards James.

James' speed is completely out of proportion to his size, like a super heavy truck rushing towards the inside.

Facing Dwight Howard who was covering the defense, James took a big step and then pushed the ball into the basket with more than 20,000 people cheering in the audience.

"LeBron gave Wood a counterattack, a domineering LeBron-style two-handed dunk." Bill Walton said.

Offense and defense transition. Billups ran to the other side. Mike Bibby naturally followed Billups.

"Defend!"

"Defend!"

The Cavaliers fans at Quicken Loans Center chanted slogans in unison. James adjusted his attention to the highest level. He did not want to be scored by Lin Sen again.

Lin Sen was not in a hurry to attack outside the three-point line, and the basketball was flying under Lin Sen's crotch.

James was not attracted by Lin Sen's dribbling and lost his center of gravity, letting the basketball pass back and forth under Lin Sen's crotch.

Lin Sen's cors-over frequency became faster and faster, which made James, who was tracking him, narrow his eyes.

When the ball passed through Lin Sen's crotch again, Lin Sen caught the ball with his left hand and hit James' right side. At the same time, Lin Sen's left foot kicked off the ground to accelerate.

With one step of his right leg, James' body was stuck on his right side. James felt the power coming from Lin Sen's body. His body jerked back and he forced himself to adjust his center of gravity.

After the Legend II and the Quicken Loans Center floor made a harsh friction sound, Lin Sen stopped his body abruptly and stopped from sprinting at high speed in an instant.

There was a hint of panic and surprise on James's face. At this moment, Lin Sen's left hand dribbled hard and the ball passed under his left hip. When the ball came to his right hand, Lin Sen's right foot moved back a large distance.

step.

With his left foot immediately withdrawn, James looked at Lin Sen's action and immediately pounced, because this was Lin Sen's signature offensive step-back shot.

Even though James reacted quickly, he was still a little slow and watched helplessly as the basketball flew past his hands.

Whoosh!

The crisp sound of the net being wiped made James depressed.

"Wood started with a strong offense today. Does he want to give this game to his unborn child?" Bill Walton said with a smile.

The game continued on the court, and Lin Sen's role changed drastically after two consecutive attacks in the opening game. From a scorer first to a pure organizer role.

"Wood is telling us that he can switch between three states at any time, a pure scorer, a traditional organizational point guard and a combination of offense and passing!" Hoffman said with a smile while looking at Lin Sen on the court.

The first quarter of the game has come to an end, and sweat keeps dripping from James' face. In the first quarter of the game, he has to take on both the offensive responsibility of the team and the task of defending Lin Sen.

Although Lin Sen is only a sophomore, his offensive ability has long been recognized by everyone. Defending Lin Sen is not an easy task.

Even if Lin Sen hasn't taken a shot for such a long time, James still doesn't dare to be careless. On the offensive end, he has to face Artest, the only strong player at the small forward position who can match him, let alone the Magic.

Also sitting on the bench is another defensive player, Shane Battier.

Although his physical fitness is inhuman, he has put in huge efforts on both offense and defense. James's physical energy consumption is obviously much more than before.

Linsen passed the ball to Grant Hill and then ran 45 degrees to the right.

James did not relax his defense against Lin Sen, but Lin Sen turned around and leaned his back against James.

James, who was used to Lin Sen, didn't think much about it, but he didn't relax his defense against Lin Sen either.

Lin Sen, who was suddenly in front of him, suddenly turned around and turned directly from in front of James to behind him.

Lin Sen's actions did not make James think at all. When he reacted, Lin Sen had already thrown James away and rushed in.

The Cavaliers' insiders Varejao and Big Z were obviously unprepared when facing the sudden Lin Sen, and they moved hastily.

Grant Hill, who was holding the ball at the top of the arc, pushed the ball directly and the ball went straight to the basket.

Varejao looked at Lin Sen, who was rushing towards him, at a loss. Lin Sen stepped towards Varejao's right side with his left foot, attracting Varejao's attention to the right side. At this moment, he stepped towards Varejao with his right foot.

To Varejao's left side.

A fierce kick with his left foot instantly threw Varejao away. At this time, Lin Sen was only a small step away from the three-second zone. Big Z on the other side also realized what Lin Sen wanted to do and ran

Big Z jumped up from the landing point of the ball, and Lin Sen jumped up as well.

Da Z, who is 221 centimeters tall and weighs 260 pounds, is about the same as Yao Ming. Although his bounce is basically negligible like Yao Ming, his height and weight are a huge deterrent to Lin Sen.

"Wood wants a direct alley-oop!" Bill Walton shouted.

Lin Sen stretched his arms as much as possible, and the basketball drew an arc in the air and then began to fall, and the landing point was right above Lin Sen.

Although Big Z also jumped up, Lin Sen, who had an absolute advantage in bouncing, was the first to catch the basketball in the air.

Bang!

Lin Sen and Big Z collided. Lin Sen clearly felt that he was almost knocked away. He subconsciously pressed Big Z with his left hand to stabilize his body.

Big Z's body began to fall, but Big Z's arms were still raised high. Combined with his height, it was like a wall was erected between Lin Sen and the basket.

Cavaliers fans at Quicken Loans Center turned up their voices to the max to cheer for Big Z.

But the falling Big Z just made a final struggle. With a low roar, he smashed the ball towards the basket with his right hand.

Bang!

Lin Sen grabbed the basket with his right hand and was thrown to the floor.

Bang!

Lin Sen's butt collided hard with the floor. Lin Sen turned over and faced the floor. He put his fists on the floor and did push-ups amidst the boos from the audience.

"Wood, Wood, it's an unbelievable scene. The 221-year-old Igauskas has become the perfect background for Wood, a domineering dunk, an impactful dunk. Is Wood warming up for his dunk contest?" Bill

.Wharton’s eyes were full of disbelief.

This dunk made the Magic soar. James glanced at Lin Sen and asked for the ball directly.

Varejao directly passed the ball to James. Just when Artest was about to press forward, James rushed directly to Lin Sen with the ball.

Faced with James' initiative, it was too late for Artest to think about his defense. Lin Sen gestured to Artest and handed James over to Lin Sen.

"LeBron found Wood directly. Obviously LeBron wanted to regain face for Big Z, and even more for the team, but defense is not Wood's strength, let alone defending LeBron."

"This is not necessarily true. Wood's defense is underestimated. To be more precise, it is affected by his habit of gambling and stealing and last season's defense. In fact, Wood's defense is very good this season." Bill Walton added.
