"Natalie's figure has recovered really well. She is a new generation of super hot moms in Hollywood."
"Bill, we are here to explain basketball." Hoffman said with a smile.
"I've been commentating on basketball. Natalie is a part of Wood and a part off the court. She should be included. I am very dedicated. Paul's support above the free throw line. The pass was great. Lamar got it easily.
He got a layup opportunity, and both Darko and Paul showed us the wisdom of the big men tonight."
"Darko is still far behind Paul, but the presence of Chris can help him learn more. Chris's playing time this season is much less than last season.
The data has dropped significantly, but he seems to be enjoying this state." Hoffman looked at Chris Webber who was sitting on the bench.
On the court, Lin Sen took Milicic's serve and dribbled forward. There were still two minutes left before the end of the first half. The away game Orlando Magic trailed the Lakers by 1 point, 48:49.
"Wood has obviously been accumulating strength since the first half of the game. He has only taken 4 shots so far. As expected, the final decisive moment will be in the fourth quarter."
"That's for sure. Playing against a team like the Lakers is destined to be a fierce battle until the last moment. Although both sides have teams that rely on their individual abilities to instantly rise to the top and create a terrifying wave.
But the team is not built solely on this method, but I also know that everyone would prefer to watch Wood or Bryant start the offensive mode."
As Hoffman spoke, Lin Sen dribbled the ball past half-court, and Michael Pietrus, who was responsible for defending Lin Sen, immediately stepped forward.
Staring at Pietrus who was approaching him, Lin Sen did not wait passively but directly faced him. This made Pietrus immediately stop and adjust his pace to welcome Lin Sen's arrival.
When he was less than half a meter away from Pietrus, he copied the ball with his left hand, and the ball bounced to his right hand in front of him. He raised his left shoulder and lowered his right shoulder, and his body instantly leaned to the right. Pietrus immediately moved towards his body.
Move your steps to the right.
Seeing Pietrus move, Lin Sen swatted the ball again with his right hand. His right shoulder instantly moved to the left, and at the same time, he stepped out with his right foot.
"With a sudden change of direction, Michael was knocked over by Wood!" Bill Walton, who was looking at the court, immediately shouted loudly.
Lin Sen's change of direction and pass were completely completed in one go. Even though this was the home court of the Lakers, Lin Sen's performance still received cheers from many fans.
Kobe Bryant on the other side saw Linson pass by Pietrus and wanted to throw away Billups and rush to defend, but he had just left Billups and Linson had already stopped directly above the free throw line and jumped to take the ball.
Voted out.
"A precise mid-range pull-up jumper. Compared with last season, he is completely different. Although Wood has a lot of gossip, and the media will always seize on his news off the court, what I want to say is that Wood's efforts on the court are not as good as those of last season.
Should be overlooked, just like his pull-up jump shot.
Everyone knows how poor Wood's offensive methods were when he first entered the league. He could only rely on breakthroughs and three-pointers. He was also afraid of jump shots, which also gave the opponent a chance to defend him.
In the middle of last season, Wood began to slowly develop mid-range jumpers until he began to use them more and more in the playoffs. By this season, mid-range jumpers have become an indispensable offensive weapon for him. It is no exaggeration to say that Wood's emergency stop
The jump shot is on its way to becoming a killer."
"Bill, what you said is absolutely right. Alan Houston, the former king of mid-range shots, and now Richard Hamilton, their mid-range shots are very powerful, but Wood now combines the breakthrough jumper with his pull-up jump shot just right."
."Hoffman added.
Fisher, a veteran on the court, advanced with the ball. Billups did not interfere too much with Fisher, but allowed Fisher to dribble the ball to near the three-point line before imitating it.
"Wood just scored a goal, will Bryant consider another one this time?" Bill Walton said with a smile.
However, this time Fisher still did not pass the ball to Kobe, but lobbed the ball to Pau Gasol, who was again at the free throw line.
"It was Pau Gasol receiving the ball again. The last Lakers goal came from Paul's support."
Gasol held the ball with one hand and leaned on Milicic with his back. Lin Sen looked at Gasol and prepared to go up and defend.
At this time, Gasol hit Milicic with his back, and Milicic pushed against Gasol.
"No!" Lin Sen immediately rushed forward, while Gasol was already shaking his shoulders and turning around.
Before Lin Sen came up to guard, his left arm rushed inside through Milicic. He was not fast but his stride was very wide. He was outside the reasonable collision area in one step.
Milicic immediately withdrew to the other side of the basket, and Howard immediately completed the switch with Milicic.
"Beautiful switching defense, the defense was timely." Hoffman praised Howard and Milicic's switching defense.
Facing a high-IQ player like Pau Gasol, just a slightly slower shot means giving the opponent a chance to score.
Pau Gasol suddenly raised his arms and made a shooting gesture. Howard, who came up to defend, immediately jumped up with his arms raised.
After shaking Howard, Pau Gasol threw the ball.
Bill Walton in the commentary box shook his head: "Paul succeeded by playing time difference. In fact, Dwight and Darko just made a good defense change, but this time the defensive jump was too hasty. It shouldn't have taken off so quickly. Just raise it high."
Standing still with your arms raised is the best defense, and Dwight's defense needs more learning."
"This is also a problem that the entire Orlando team has been determined to help Dwight solve, but unfortunately Dwight's feet always seem to be loaded with springs. In fact, I have an unreliable suggestion." Hoffman laughed, "Let's
Adidas has added weight to Dwight's shoes, so maybe Dwight won't be able to take off so easily."
"This is a good suggestion. Of course, use it during normal training. If you keep jumping, you may develop the habit of not jumping. I remembered that Paul's younger brother Mark will join Orlando next season. By then
The matchup between Orlando and Los Angeles will provide another highlight." Bill Walton said with a smile.
With Pau Gasol's goal, the Lakers once again overtook the lead, and the first half entered the final minute.
Offensive and defensive transition. The Magic used a running cover tactic, and Lin Sen got rid of Pietrus's marking.
However, he still couldn't get rid of the Lakers' defense. Kobe took Pietrus' position and stood in front of Linsen.
"Why don't you bring Amy and Annie here? I haven't hugged them until now." Kobe opened his arms and looked at Lin Sen and said.
Lin Sen looked at the position of his teammates with his peripheral vision. He consciously moved towards Michael Pietrus, and while protecting the ball, he kept scanning with his peripheral vision: "They are too small, do you think it is convenient to bring them out? Let's talk about me.
I haven’t hugged Natalia and Gianna either.”
Ignoring Kobe's glare: "And they've always liked me."
"They must stay away from you. I have to guard against you. Everything else can be discussed. Everyone knows that there is something attractive about you."
Just as Kobe finished speaking, Lin Sen swatted the ball and accelerated towards Kobe's other side.
Pietrus, who was being thrown away by Lin Sen on the other side, saw that Lin Sen was probably throwing away Kobe Bryant. He thought about it and decided to defend again.
"Don't cover the defense!" Phil Jackson shouted loudly to the court, but before his words could reach Pietrus' ears, Lin Sen pushed the ball directly.
Michael Pietrus was shocked when he pounced on Lin Sen. He covered up Lin Sen and completely missed Billups. Billups' three-point shooting ability is well known to everyone.
When Lin Sen's ball came to him, Billups didn't hesitate at all. He jumped directly towards the three-point line, looked at the basket and shot the ball.
This season, his three-point shooting percentage is as high as 43.6%, setting a career high. The main reason is that there are many more open shots than before with the Pistons.
Billups had full confidence in such an open opportunity. Fisher, who was closest to Billups, was too late to cover up the defense. He could only watch as Billups used a textbook shooting move to beat Billups.
The ball was thrown.
With a burst of white waves rising from the Nets, Billups walked toward Lin Sen.
Watching Lin Sen and Billups celebrating with high fives on the court, Bill Walton laughed: "Michael paid the price for his blind defense. Orlando once again took the lead by two points, and Wood also scored at halftime with this assist.
A double-double of 10 points and 10 assists.”
"The cooperation between Chauncey and Wood is really good. No one would have thought that Chauncey's numbers would not drop much when he came to Orlando this season, but instead would reach the second-highest score of his career, 17.7 points. Of course, this is inseparable from the potential containment of defense by others in Orlando.
This is why Chauncey scores efficiently."
After the Magic's successful attack, there were still 38 seconds left before the end of the half. The Lakers had another chance to attack after the Magic's attack.
"Bryant has to pass the ball, and it is Wood who is guarding him. Wood has been training with Bryant this summer. He should be very accustomed to Bryant's offensive method." Hoffman said while looking at the court.
Kobe did not attack head-on but chose to attack with his back. Lin Sen pressed against Kobe's back and raised his right hand high.
What Hoffman said is true, but even so, Lin Sen couldn't predict what Kobe's next move would be. Even if he predicted it, he might not be able to prevent it.
Kobe held the ball in front of him with both hands and pushed his butt towards Lin Sen behind him. He and Lin Sen had one-on-one too many times in the summer. He also knew that Lin Sen's progress was obvious, and he felt Lin Sen's strength.
Then Kobe started to show strength.
Bang!
Lin Sen's chest made a muffled sound under the impact of Kobe. If it were last season, Lin Sen would have been unable to help but retreat under this impact.
However, Kobe did not give Lin Sen a chance to breathe, and soon the second impact came.
Kobe bowed and started dribbling with his back, and the third impact followed.
"Left?" Lin Sen squinted his eyes and couldn't help but want to move to the right. However, Kobe did not turn to the left but swayed to the right again.
When Lin Sen was still hesitating, Kobe turned over with his left foot and took off.
Looking at Kobe Bryant jumping up, Lin Sen immediately took off and stretched his straight right hand as far as possible towards Kobe Bryant's eyes. This was the defensive method taught to him by Battier.
Lin Sen worked hard, but it didn't have any effect this time.
Kobe stared at Lin Sen's defense and threw the ball. The ball jumped over Lin Sen's fingers and flew behind him.
"Bryant turned over and took off, making a huge fadeaway jumper. This is Bryant's signature move!" Hoffman shouted.
Amid the cheers of all Staples fans, Kobe's shot went steadily into the basket.
With the DJ's shouts at the top of his lungs, fans in the audience shouted Kobe's name loudly.
"Wood worked hard, but still couldn't prevent the goal. Los Angeles tied the score at 53:53 with Bryant's goal, but they still left Orlando 15 seconds. For Orlando, 15 seconds is enough.
A lot of things have been accomplished. As expected, the final attack will be handed over to Wood."
As Bill Walton spoke, Lin Sen slowly dribbled the ball past half-court.
After halftime, I raised my head and looked at the timer above the backboard. The time had entered the last ten seconds.
Standing one step beyond the 45-point line on the left, standing in front of Linsen is Michael Pietrus, who played for the Gangster Warriors last season.
When Michael Pietrus came to the Lakers, the Lakers needed him more for defense than offense. Pietrus' performance in defending Lin Sen seemed quite satisfactory in the first match of the season, but at the last moment he was directly YAN'ed by Lin Sen.
Kill the shot.
This game is the second time he and Lin Sen have played against each other this season. Counting last season, he and Lin Sen have only taught each other four times.
Pietrus defended carefully. Looking at Michael Pietrus' defense, Lin Sen was not in a hurry to attack even though the attack time had entered six seconds.
"Wood is not anxious at all and looks confident." Bill Walton looked at Lin Sen and said with a smile.
At this time, Lin Sen's right foot took a tentative step. Michael Pietrus' attention was also completely raised. Lin Sen retracted his right foot and took another step towards Michael Pietrus' left side.
Lin Sen's move was not a fake one but a real one. He bowed his whole body and hit the ball with his left hand at the same time.
Michael Pietrus immediately retreated back and fully opened his arms to prevent Lin Sen from forcing a breakthrough.
Looking at Michael Pietrus' defensive reaction, Lin Sen laughed.
He quickly retracted his right foot, and the ball passed through his crotch and reached his right hand. At the same time, he retracted his left foot and jumped up directly under the gaze of Michael Pietrus.
"Wood retreats for a three-pointer!" Hoffman shouted.
Pietrus cursed, hurriedly adjusted his body and rushed forward.
Looking at the basket in the distance, Lin Sen flicked the ball out.
When the ball flew away from his hand, Michael Pietrus's palm came to him.
The basketball flew into the sky above Staples under the watchful eyes of everyone present, and drew a perfect arc before falling towards the basket amid the unwilling eyes and boos of the Lakers fans.
The moment the ball passed through the net, the half-time whistle also sounded.
"Buzzer, buzzer-beating three-pointer, Wood, big-hearted Wood. Played a big-hearted three-pointer directly under Michael's defense. Look at the excited big-name fans on the sidelines. Like ordinary people, their adrenal glands were stimulated by Wood's performance.
." Bill Walton said while looking at Miley Cyrus cheering with her arms raised on the big screen.
"Not all big-name fans enjoy Wood's buzzer-beater like this, such as Leonardo." Hoffman said with a smile.
"Leon is a die-hard man in Los Angeles. He is a different person. But has Leon been nominated this year?" Bill Walton asked with a smile.
"It seems not. If there were, Leon would be embarrassed even if he won the award."
During the 20-minute intermission, Miley Cyrus, who has continued to be popular this year, was responsible for singing her song.
"Thanks to Staples for the invitation. I'm honored to get this singing opportunity. I'm a die-hard basketball fan and I like the Los Angeles Lakers very much." Miley Cyrus said while holding the microphone.
The fans at the scene gave her bursts of applause. Hannah Montana's image was really impressive.
"Thank you for your applause, but I also like the Orlando Magic very much. Of course, the main reason is because I like Wood Lin. He is my favorite guy. I sent this song to him." Miley Cyrus
The Lakers fans at the scene were stunned for a moment.
Everyone's mouths were so big that they didn't know whether to hiss or not, but Miley Cyrus sang her own song regardless of others.
"Wood is really a hottie. Fortunately, he is not the one I like, otherwise I would be in pain." Scarlett Johansson said with a smile while looking at Miley Cyrus on the court.
"Doesn't this mean I have good taste? If no one likes him, it means he is not good." Natalie Portman smiled.
"Well, you are really thinking, but I am going to Orlando with you. I want to see Amy and Annie."
"No problem, as long as you don't mind the media." Natalie Portman said with a smile.
Scarlett shrugged: "If I mind, I won't go there often, it doesn't matter."
The 20-minute halftime break passed quickly. When the second half started, Kobe took the lead in starting his personal offensive mode. Artest's defense was put to a great test. Stan Van Gundy went ahead five minutes into the third quarter.
Replaced by Shane Battier.
"Oh, Bryant's firepower is so fierce. Orlando was beaten full of holes. They must find a good defensive method. Maybe Ron and Sean defending together is the best choice. That way Bryant can
Might be contained."
"Wood should also activate his personal offensive magic. Although there is a saying that is not quite right, but it should be used here at this time, that is, 'The best offense is the best defense.'" Bill Walton looked at the field.
Lin Sen said.
At this time, there were still four minutes left before the end of the third quarter. The Magic went from a three-point halftime lead to a seven-point deficit.
The initiator was Kobe's explosion. So far in a single quarter, Kobe has scored 17 points by himself.
