legendary point guard

"Michael Jordan actually sold Gerald Wallace." Dwight Howard, who went to New Orleans with Lin Sen, shouted on his cell phone.

This time the Orlando Magic, in addition to head coach Stan Van Gundy becoming the head coach of the Eastern Stars, the team's Howard and Linson were selected as All-Stars as starters, and Billups was also selected by the coaches as a substitute. This is also the reason why the Orlando Magic

For the first time in history, three people were selected to the All-Star Game at the same time.

"What, Gerald Wallace was traded? How is that possible?" Lin Sen grabbed the phone, and the headline on the phone was the news that Gerald Wallace was traded.

The target of Gerald Wallace's trade was none other than Linsen's former teammate Hedo Turkoglu.

Gerald Wallace and Turkoglu both started their careers with the Kings, but Turkoglu was one of the famous bench gangsters on that gorgeous Kings team, and Gerald Wallace

Just a water cooler keeper.

If the Charlotte Bobcats hadn't drafted him, Gerald Wallace might have spent four years on the bench and eventually disappeared from the NBA.

This season Gerald Wallace is one step closer than last season, averaging 19.6 points per game while also contributing 6 rebounds, 3.1 assists, ranking fourth in the league with 2.1 steals and 1 block.

Turkoglu was basically identified by Stan Van Gundy as the team's organizational core before Lin Sen joined the Magic last season. It was only after Lin Sen arrived that he became the second core.

Despite this, Turkoglu still showed great progress last season. After returning to the Kings in the summer, Turkoglu had full possession of the ball and led the team that lost the two core players of Artest and Mike Bibby last season.

The king has achieved good results.

The Kings, who were originally destined to be a strong contender for the No. 1 pick, have a winning rate of nearly 50% halfway through the season, are ranked tenth in the Western Conference, and still maintain hope for the playoffs.

Although Turkoglu is not the best in the Kings with 19.3 points per game, he ranks first with 6.5 assists per game and can also send out 6 rebounds. He is the only player besides James this season who has 19 points, rebounds and assists.

A player with +6+6 was almost selected as a Western Conference All-Star substitute.

Although Gerald Wallace raised rumors of a trade after the game against the Magic, no one expected that the Bobcats would actually trade the new Elvis Presley Gerald Wallace who just signed a new contract in the offseason.

Laish.

Gerald Wallace and Sean May have been retired this season in exchange for Hedo Turkoglu, plus Deng Tai Jones and Quincy Duby.

"I didn't expect Hido to return to the East so soon." Howard sighed.

Lin Sen also didn't expect that. In fact, he still has a good impression of players like Gerald Wallace, but the team already has two strong defensive players in Artest and Battier. Gerald Wallace

Although Rice is younger and more energetic, his scoring ability flaws are obvious, especially the three-point shooting ability that the Magic need very much.

"Let's go, we can only wish Hido to continue to perform well in Charlotte." Lin Sen handed the phone to Howard and took the lead on the ramp.

Lin Sen, who was sitting in a chair, took out his cell phone and looked through the photos of his son and daughter. Especially his 19-day-old son Amy, who was only a dozen days old and looked the same almost every day.

"Wood, you are so happy, but I have something to ask you." Howard pushed Linson with a flattering smile on his face.

"Put away your damn smile, it makes me feel uncomfortable all over. What's the matter?" Lin Sen stared at Howard and said.

Howard glanced around sheepishly and then leaned into Lin Sen's ear: "Royce is pregnant."

"Royce, who is it?" Lin Sen looked at Howard in surprise. Then he suddenly remembered, isn't Royce the Magic's cheerleader? "How could you do this? If the league finds out, she will be finished."

The NBA has clear regulations that players cannot fall in love with cheerleaders. Once discovered, it is the cheerleaders who are often severely punished.

Lin Sen thought at first that he and Royce Reed were just having fun, but he didn't expect that the two of them would develop to this point: "Damn it, don't you know about contraception?"

"I hate feeling like that. But we have always paid attention to it. It has been normal for almost a year. Who knows."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"I don't know either." Howard drooped his head.

"Do you want that child, or do you want to be with her? If so, I think you should be responsible for her. If not, I think you should handle it privately." Although Lin Sen has just been promoted to a father,

How does he know about these things? All he can do is this little suggestion.

"I seem to like her very much. She said she is willing to leave Orlando and go to Miami to be a cheerleader for me. If everything goes well, she will give birth to a child. I will support them, mother and child."

Lin Sen didn't know what to say. Howard's character has been very clear to him over the past year. He is a typical NBA player.

To put it mildly, he means a man who is irresponsible towards women, more for temporary happiness. He knows how many women Howard has had relationships with in the past year. However, Lin Sen also knows that he is not qualified to criticize Howard. After all, he is also

Not sure.

"If that's the case, then treat them well. I honestly don't know about the rest." Lin Sen patted Howard on the shoulder.

"Sorry to bother you two, do you two gentlemen need a magazine or a drink?" the blonde in a stewardess uniform said in a sweet voice.

The stewardess in front of him was indeed very good-looking. Howard, who had just been asking Lin Sen for advice on how to deal with Royce, had already had his eyes shining brightly.

"Do you have the latest Forbes? And give me a cup of coffee, thank you, Wood, what do you want?"

"I just want a glass of boiled water, I don't need anything else, thank you."

Howard kept staring at the flight attendant's swaying buttocks as she disappeared through the cabin door before retracting his gaze: "It's really nice. She has a really good figure. It's great. Don't you think so, Wood?"

Seeing Lin Sen's lack of interest, Howard shrugged helplessly: "Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Soon the flight attendant just delivered something, and Howard didn't care about Lin Sen's opinion: "Beauty, can I know your contact information?"

Many women become stewardesses in order to have sex with rich or famous people. Howard obviously belongs to one of these categories. Faced with Howard's request, the stewardess neatly wrote her name on a small piece of paper and handed it over.

Gave it to Howard.

"Done." Howard put the small note into his pocket and picked up the magazine.

The cover of this issue of the magazine is a photo of Lin Sen's family of five, with Lin Sen in the middle. He is holding Amy and Annie in his left and right arms respectively, while Natalie Portman and Lindsay Lohan stand aside.

Both of them had smiles on their faces and looked particularly happy.

The release of this issue of Forbes was criticized by many defenders, who criticized Lin Sen's behavior as affecting the values ​​​​of teenagers and bringing very bad influence to them.

"I wish I could be like you." Howard glanced at Lin Sen and murmured softly.

When the plane arrived in New Orleans, Chris Paul was already waiting there, even though the league wanted Lin Sen to stay in a hotel arranged by the league.

But Lin Sen still chose to live in Chris Paul's house. Also living in Paul's house was Deron Williams. The two of them would decide who was Amy's godfather and who was Annie in a bullfight at Paul's house.

's godfather.

After saying goodbye to Howard, Lin Sen got into Paul's car.

At Paul's house, Linsen witnessed the duel between Paul and Deron. In the end, Deron defeated Paul in an eleven-goal bullfight. Before that, they had agreed that the winner would become Amy's godfather and the loser would become Amy's godfather.

Anne's godfather.

"I will definitely help Annie come up with a great name." Paul glared at Deron and said, even though he didn't care who was the godfather, losing to Deron was still very depressing.

"Me too, haha." Deron was very happy after winning. The three of them did not leave Paul's house at night, but dueled again using NBA2K at Paul's house. However, Lin Sen had the last laugh in the game duel.

Lin Sen is busier this year than last year. Last year, Lin Sen participated in the Rookie Challenge, Skills Challenge, Three-Point Contest, and All-Star Game. This year, Lin Sen was not only selected for the second-year Rookie Competition, but also participated in the Skills Challenge.

, three-point contest, dunk contest and All-Star Game.

Needless to say, he participated in all five competitions, and he is already the first person in NBA history to participate in the last four at the same time.

Under normal circumstances, the host country's players will receive everyone's courtesy and are very likely to win the All-Star Game MVP, but this year seems a little special.

As the leader of the host Hornets, Chris Paul has no idea of ​​winning the All-Star MVP at home. And David West has no idea. Not only does Paul not have the idea of ​​competing for the All-Star Game MVP, but he prefers Lin Sen to win the MVP.

In the last game of the All-Star Game against the Cavaliers, James also expressed this idea. Lin Sen, a father of two children, even replaced Chris Paul as the widely anticipated All-Star MVP candidate.

"I really hope that Wood will get the trophy and give it to Amy and Annie, but I hope that his trophy will not come easily. Because only this is the best gift." Kobe Bryant gave $2 million to his two children.

Bryant said this in an interview.

Kevin Garnett and LeBron James, who both belong to the Eastern Conference Stars team like Lin Sen, expressed their full support for Lin Sen in giving gifts to his children.

"At this point, it seems that if I don't compete, I will be sorry for everyone. In this case, I don't think I will refuse." Lin Sen officially responded in an interview before the rookie game.

"Wood, will you play in the rookie game? The first grade has already issued a declaration of victory."

"You also participated in the dunk contest this time. Are you serious? Or did you participate at the request of the league? Are you prepared in advance for participating in the dunk contest?"

"Will Amy and Annie be your motivation for this All-Star Game? Is there any idea of ​​taking back all the awards?"

…

"In the rookie game, I need to listen to the coach's arrangements whether I can play. As for the rest, I will try my best to do it well. As for the slam dunk contest, I don't think I will let everyone down." Lin Sen said with a smile.

Although the first-year rookies issued a declaration of victory, no one expected them to take away the victory, not to mention the second-year players Lin Sen and Brandon Roy were selected to this year's All-Star team. This is far from the first-year players.

Incomparable.

After the game started, Linsen and Roy only played for less than two minutes before sitting on the bench.

"It's really disappointing. I think there will be protests from the audience. Many people came just to see Wood and Blanton, but they ended up off the court as soon as the game started." Steve Kerr, who was in charge of the commentary for this game.

complained.

"If Brandon and Wood play, then the chance of suspense in the game is 0. Maybe if they don't play, the game will be more exciting." Mark Jackson said with a smile, "But in the end I still think the second grader will win.

Next game.”

However, the progress of the game exceeded people's expectations. Even though Linsen and Brandon Roy did not play, no one believed that the second-year players could not beat the first-year rookies.

In the first half, Kevin Durant, the second overall pick in the first grade, performed extremely well, scoring 12 goals in the first half. He scored 26 points in the half, and Al.

Horford also got everything he wanted in the paint, and Bargnani was completely unable to guard Horford.

At the end of the half, Horford had a double-double of 14 points and 10 rebounds. Under the leadership of him and Durant, the first grade team took a 5-point lead at 65:60 in the first half.

Only falling behind by five points was because Daniel Gibson hit 6 three-pointers in the first half and scored 22 points.

"Somewhat beyond our expectation, maybe we can see Brandon and Wood play in the second half. If so, I think we should thank the first-year rookies." Mark Jackson said with a smile.

After the start of the second half, Linsen and Roy still did not play. Rudy Gay took over the offensive power. However, Kevin Durant was still feeling hot. By the tenth minute of the second half, the sophomore not only failed to catch up.

The score was up, but fell behind by 16 points.

Of course Daniel Gibson has no touch. The team can only score with Rudy Gay and Aldridge.

"The sophomore requested a timeout. I don't know how LeBron will adjust. Maybe replacing Brandon and Wood is the best way." Steve Kerr said while looking at the sidelines.

"Brandon, Wood, you two come out and let the first-year rookies know how good you are, come on!" James said looking at Roy and Linsen.

Roy and Lin Sen looked at each other: "No problem!"

"Oh, LeBron really replaced Brandon and Wood. First-year rookies, your good luck ends here." Mark Jackson said with a smile.

But now the first-year rookies have gained confidence and don't care about Roy and Lin Sen playing.

"It seems they don't care about us. You come first or me first?" Lin Sen looked at Roy and asked.

"You are a new father. I think you should come first. How about using the Rookie Game MVP trophy as your first gift? If I pass the ball to you, treat it as a gift to my two children?" Roy laughed.

He said.

"Brandon, you are so stingy, so I can only accept it." Lin Sen smiled and gave the ball to Roy, and ran forward.

"Wood gave the ball to Brandon and ran forward instead. What are they going to do?" Mark Jackson was very curious.

At the moment, the second-year insiders are Aldridge, Paul Millsap, Rudy Gay, Lin Sen and Roy, and the first-year players are Al Horford, Jeff Green, Kevin Durant, and Mike.

Conley and Juan Carlos Navarro.

Falling behind the rookies made the second graders look very embarrassed. They also had to admit that Lin Sen and Roy were the two strongest among them.

Roy controlled the ball and came to the frontcourt. The person responsible for defending Linson was Grizzlies main point guard Mike Conley. Although Conley is still a rookie, he has proven that he does not only rely on Greg Oden's talents.

Survival also proved that his choice of Memphis was not wrong.

Roy directly handed the ball to Lin Sen. After Lin Sen received the ball, Conley immediately moved up a step and the distance between him and Lin Sen was very small, almost sticking himself to Lin Sen.

"Wood received the ball and Mike was guarding him. As a rookie, Mike was good defensively, but Wood is a guy who would give any top defender a headache." Steve Kerr said with a smile.

He raised the ball high with both hands, stood firmly with his left foot, and held out his chest against Mike Conley, who was pressing against him. Lin Sen was not very tall, but he was a little taller than Conley.

After hitting Conley on the chest and getting a little space, Lin Sen leaned forward and placed the ball between his waist and abdomen with both hands.

"Hey, rookie, you can't guard me." Lin Sen said with a smile, but Mike Conley ignored Lin Sen and put his right hand directly in front of Lin Sen's eyes.

"It seems you don't believe it!" Lin Sen said with a shrug. As soon as he finished speaking, he stabbed Conley's left side with his right foot.

Conley, who has played against Lin Sen once this season, knows how terrifying Lin Sen's strength is, and he tries his best to control his impulse to move his feet.

Mike Conley's idea was absolutely correct, but unfortunately he encountered Lin Sen. Lin Sen was so unreasonable that he didn't care whether Mike Conley moved or not. He quickly retracted his right foot and straightened his back quickly.

Straight up in front of Mike Conley.

"Wood, just take off!" Michael Jackson shouted loudly.

Mike Conley reacted quickly and immediately jumped up to interfere with Lin Sen's shot, but Lin Sen didn't care and threw the ball with his body leaning slightly backward.

The ball jumped over Conley's fingers and flew straight to the far basket. Lin Sen felt very good.

Whoosh!

There was a clear sound of brushing the net, and Lin Sen raised his right hand high.

"It's so accurate. Although the second graders are still 13 points behind, I think most people are like me and are destined to come back and win the second grade." Mark Jackson said while looking at Lin Sen who was celebrating with Roy with high fives.

The rookies who returned to the offensive end handed the ball to Kevin Durant, who had already scored 32 points. However, Durant failed to score this time. After shooting, Aldridge steadily won the defense.

The rebound was immediately handed to Lin Sen.

Lin Sen did not dribble the ball himself but handed the ball directly to Roy. After returning to the frontcourt, the person standing in front of Lin Sen was not Mike Conley but second-place Kevin Durant.

Lin Sen has not had a direct confrontation with Durant this season, but Lin Sen has paid attention to reports about Kevin. Durant has done well at least in terms of scoring in the SuperSonics, averaging 20 points per game and Jeff.

Green has become the team's hope for future growth.

But the only regret is that this hope does not belong to Seattle, because next season the SuperSonics will move from Seattle to Oklahoma City, the city where the Hornets briefly relocated due to the hurricane.

Linson didn't care when facing Kevin Durant, who was a full 2.08 in height, even though he seemed to be completely covered by Durant.

With Roy's glance, Lin Sen, who had been sticking close to Durant, suddenly accelerated.

Kevin Durant showed agility that was inconsistent with his height. But even so in the face of Linsen's movement, Durant was still left behind.

Durant gritted his teeth and chased after him, but quickly lost hope.

"Wood passed through the inside and ran to the right corner! There is no one in the first grade, this is an opportunity, Brandon passes the ball!" Steve Kerr shouted.

As soon as he landed in the bottom corner, the basketball was immediately passed by Roy.

Use both hands to catch the ball steadily, and use your left foot as the axis to directly turn around and take off from the narrow bottom corner.

Aiming at the basket in the air, Lin Sen shot the ball.

Jeff Green also rushed over in a hurry, but there was no pressure on Lin Sen.

With Jeff Green's helpless expression, the ball quickly rose up and finally arced into the basket amid the cheers of the audience.

"WOOD...LIN..." the DJ shouted at the top of his lungs, and the fans cheered wildly again, as if it was Lin Sen's home court.

"Two consecutive three-pointers, the difference is only ten points, and there are still nine minutes left before the end of the game. The ten-point difference is not a problem for Wood at all. Looking at Wood's touch tonight, I have a hunch that Wood will make a three-pointer.

The defending champion of the competition." Mark Jackson said with a smile.

The ten-point difference made the first-year rookies on the field feel uneasy, not to mention that there were still nine minutes left in the game.

The recent continuous cooperation between Lin Sen and Brandon Roy also made the first-year rookies start to pay attention to teamwork, and the rookies have a good touch. It is precisely in this way that they can maintain a weak lead even though they are constantly being chased for points.

.

"Are the rookies going to keep winning until the end?" Steve Kerr said while looking at the big screen.

There are still two minutes and ten seconds left in the game. In the past six minutes and fifty seconds, the rookies have tenaciously withstood the ferocious firepower of the sophomores and are still one point ahead of the sophomores.

Mike Conley came to the frontcourt with the ball and handed it to Kevin Durant. Durant and Jeff Green played a cooperative game.

"The cooperation between Kevin and Jeff's teammates, Kevin made an emergency stop!" Before Steve Kerr could shout, Lin Sen, who was supposed to be guarding Mike Conley, appeared behind Durant.

Before Durant could react, Lin Sen slapped the ball away.

"Wood. Wood's block! Kevin never expected that Wood would appear behind him."

In response to Mark Jackson's words, Lin Sen quickly landed and caught up with the ball that was slapped down by him.

However, Mike Conley retreated quickly, and Lin Sen simply slowed down. He thought the game would be over soon, but he didn't expect the rookies to be so tenacious.

He looked up and saw that two minutes had passed on the big screen: "We can't wait any longer."

Gamario Moon is an undrafted player. But he worked hard to establish himself in the Raptors and showed everyone his abilities, especially his strong physical fitness.

He is also called Moon Man by fans because of his name. He will also participate in the slam dunk contest in this All-Star Game, but he is undoubtedly the most ignored one under the double-team of Gay, Lin Sen and James.

Rudy Gay, known as Little Eddie, was destined to be Linsen and James' supporting role before the game.

Moon, who was replaced at the moment, worked hard on the defensive end. He did not have any fear because of Lin Sen's strength. He still maintained a good attitude and calmly looked at Lin Sen in front of him.

Lin Sen liked Moon's defensive attitude very much. He seemed to see the shadow of Azubuike, but he also knew that Azubuike was far from having the physical fitness of Moon in front of him.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The ball hit the floor back and forth, the rhythm getting faster and faster.

Munn also became more and more cautious. He stared at Lin Sen closely with his eyes and began to pace non-stop.

Lin Sen still maintained his dribbling posture and took no further action, which made Moon even more nervous.

"For Moon, who is still a rookie, dealing with Wood is a rare learning opportunity." Mark Jackson said with a smile.

"But many people can't stand such opportunities. This is the difference between good players and ordinary players. Good players can always grow through setbacks and failures, but ordinary players cannot. Great players are constantly facing setbacks and obstacles.

He eventually became a great guy." Steve Kerr said.

Lin Sen suddenly accelerated to the right, and the increasingly nervous Moon immediately reacted and subconsciously slid to the right in an attempt to block Lin Sen's progress.

At this moment, seeing Moon's defensive reaction, Lin Sen made a forward change of direction. Moon's body center of gravity changed subconsciously, and Moon reacted by moving to the left.

It was this opportunity that Lin Sen needed. Just when Moon responded to Lin Sen's attack with amazing reflexes, Lin Sen completed another change of direction and then used his right foot to exert force and his left leg to cross to Moon's right side.

Then he followed up with his right foot and accelerated again. Moon was thrown behind Lin Sen. Lin Sen, who passed Munn, made an emergency stop jumper.

"Wood hit a pull-up jumper. Although Moon defended very hard, he still failed to succeed. Wood's key pull-up jumper helped the sophomore officially overtake the score. Wood only played eight minutes and increased his personal score to 18

There are still one minute and twenty-two seconds left before the end of the game, and the rookies are in danger." Steve Kerr said while looking at the big screen.

The rookies who returned to the offensive end felt the pressure of the second-year defense. Durant threw the ball almost as the twenty-four seconds were about to expire.

The result of such a forced shot can be imagined. The ball hit the basket and Paul Millsap firmly controlled the defensive rebound.

"Wood, end the game!" Roy pulled Lin Sen and said softly.

"No problem, you pass the ball and I shoot?"

"Of course!" Roy said with a smile.

"What are Brandon and Wood talking about? These are the two greatest players in the 2006 class. It's a pity that the six teams in front of them all chose to ignore them."

"Mark, don't forget Rudy with the eighth pick. These are the three top scoring guys in the 2006 class, and now they have become the leaders of three teams respectively." Steve Kerr reminded.

Lin Sen, who brought the ball to the frontcourt, let Moon stick to him. He and Roy had already communicated just a moment later.

The man responsible for defending Brandon Roy was Kevin Durant, but Roy suddenly ran around Durant and then turned around. Durant was immediately thrown away by Roy.

Lin Sen immediately passed the ball to Brandon Roy. The ball left Lin Sen's hand and Moon breathed a sigh of relief. However, just as he breathed a sigh of relief, Lin Sen suddenly accelerated and then turned around.

.

Moon gritted her teeth and chased Lin Sen, but still couldn't catch him.

Brandon Roy, who caught the ball, successfully attracted the attention of the defender and then directly threw the ball towards the opposite corner.

"Brandon moved the ball in a wide range, and Wood ran there. This was an extremely bold pass!" As a legendary point guard, Mark Jackson naturally knew that such a pass was risky.

When the ball reached the three-point line in the bottom corner, Lin Sen caught the ball steadily.

Although Moon had already caught up with him, Lin Sen still jumped up without hesitation.

With his body clearly leaning back, Lin Sen threw the ball decisively.

Moon, who couldn't control his body, crashed into Lin Sen.

The referee's whistle sounded immediately, and Lin Sen's ball still went into the basket steadily.

"Wood scored four points in the Rookie Challenge. Moon defended very hard, but he had to pay the price for his efforts!" Mark Jackson shouted.

The New Orleans Arena went crazy, and the whole crowd shouted MVP loudly.

"Mark, are you sure this isn't the Waterhouse Center in Orlando?" Steve Kerr asked, listening to the MVP shouts from the entire stadium.

"I'm sure!" Mark Jackson said with a smile.

"Well done!" Roy pulled Lin Sen up.

"You pass the ball better." Lin Sen and Roy bumped their fists and walked to the free throw line. Lin Sen steadily made the extra free throw amid the cheers of MVP in the audience.

James, Chris Paul, and Deron on the sidelines were all excitedly waving big towels.

The rookies, who were originally in the lead, are now a full five points behind the sophomores.

The rookies were very reluctant, but they had to accept this fact.

Returning to the offensive end and missing another shot, they lost hope of taking the lead. Lin Sen, who returned to the offensive end, completely sealed the victory with a three-pointer.

Although Lin Sen only played for ten minutes, he scored the second-highest 25 points on the team, second only to Daniel Gibson who made 8 three-pointers and scored 28 points.

But Gibson scored 22 points in the first half and only 6 points in the second half. It was Linson who came on the court in the last ten minutes to even the 16-point deficit and win with a 6-point advantage.

"Wood is well-deserved the MVP of the Rookie Game!" Mark Jackson said with a smile as he looked at Lin Sen holding up the MVP trophy of the Rookie Game.
