legendary point guard

"It's not very possible, but it's certain." Charles Barkley smiled brightly. "Of course, the premise is that Orlando sticks to the way it played in the first quarter. As long as it insists on playing like this, a triple-double is not a problem at all."

"What was Wood's previous rebounding record?" Kenny Smith asked.

Lin Sen was sitting on the bench, with Carolina and the others sitting behind him.

Carolina wiped Lin Sen's sweat with a big towel. She looked so gentle, which made countless men in front of the TV envious, especially when Carolina was flanked by Natalie Portman, Lindsay Lohan and a group of others.

A son and a daughter.

"The on-site director is really bad. If you have to show Wood's happiness to fans all over the world, many male compatriots will scold you." Barkley said with a smile.

The two little guys, Amy and Annie, looked so cute babbling with their eyes closed. Even though Lin Sen was dripping with sweat, he couldn't help but touch the mouths of the two little guys.

"Your hands are so dirty, be careful of making Amy and Annie sick." Natalie Portman hit Lin Sen's hand.

"Haha, Wood is despised. Although I don't know why he is despised. Look at the look in Wood's eyes just now. He is full of fatherly love. He is rich, has a future, is handsome, is a good father and a good man. I don't know the next Wood-like man.

You will find it somewhere."

"Charles, maybe when Amy grows up, there will be the next Wood-like man. This is a family inheritance." Kenny Smith joked.

The game soon kicked off in the second quarter, with both the Houston Rockets and Orlando Magic switching to their second lineups.

In the second team competition, the Rockets insiders still do not have an advantage, while the Magic insiders are Mutombo and Chris Webber, who played for the Rockets last season.

Perhaps in order to show off his status to his old coach Adelman, Webb not only played two games in a row after coming on the court, but also once again showed his ability to provide passing support.

The Magic's perimeter lineup consists of Billups and Sam Cassell. Although this backcourt lineup is not young, it still has offensive firepower.

Under the leadership of Chris Webber and Billups, the Magic stretched the point difference to double digits for the first time four minutes into the second quarter.

"Rick couldn't sit still. The point difference was stretched to double digits. He had to find a way to adjust. The most important thing was to use Yao. Stan strangled Yao to death in this game."

"No way, Jeff has coached Yao for several years. He must know Yao better than Rick. In fact, Orlando's targeted arrangements for Yao today are the best example." Charles Barkley looked at the Magic bench.

said.

Jeff Van Gundy was sitting on the bench in a suit, while his brother Stan Van Gundy was explaining tactics among the players.

"Houston should be fortunate that in this game, Orlando let Houston know where Yao's biggest problem is.

Of course, they should be more fortunate that not every team has an inside player like Eddie, and not every team needs top outside defenders like Sean and Ron to stop Houston's breakthrough.

As long as these two conditions are not met, it is unrealistic to completely restrict Yao."

"Charles, you are right. The best way to break through is to break through. Only by breaking in can Yao be rescued from being troubled by being circled. Tracy's touch was good tonight, but if he doesn't break through, it will be difficult to solve it."

Houston is in big trouble right now. Of course it’s Steve who should stand out,” Kenny Smith added.

After the timeout, Yao Ming, who was sitting on the bench, did not play. Tracy McGrady, who played for almost ten minutes in the first quarter, returned to the court.

Linsen returned to the field after almost four minutes of rest, along with Darko Milicic.

"Is Stan trying to expand the lead all of a sudden?" Barkley said, looking at Linsen and Milicic coming on the field.

"But Orlando's perimeter defense is not very good now. Sean and Ron are all sitting off the court. Grant is not very defensive when he defends his old partner." Kenny Smith said.

As he said, Grant Hill is not a good choice to defend Tracy McGrady.

Although the two are familiar with each other, Grant Hill is no longer the successor to Jordan. His physical fitness is far from what it was back then.

Facing Grant Hill's defense, Tracy McGrady took a step forward and leaned on Hill.

While leaning on Hill, McGrady made a crotch move and then a fake movement to change direction, and then McGrady quickly took the first step.

By the time Grant Hill reacted, Tracy McGrady had already shaken off Hill.

Lin Sen, who was guarding the little black bean Brooks not far away, immediately threw Brooks away and chased after him, but he was still a little slow.

Lin Sen could only watch as McGrady jumped up and threw the ball.

Whoosh!

A clear sound of net wiping sounded on this field that Tracy was very familiar with.

"Another goal from t-mac. He scored a goal just after he came on. His touch is still hot. He is in good condition in this place where he has fought before.

However, many fans at the scene still booed mercilessly. Although many of them came to the scene wearing t-mac tonight, this place is no longer his kingdom but belongs to Wood.

.”

Kenny Smith glanced at Barkley: "T-MAC has scored 15 points tonight and is in excellent condition." Kenny Smith glanced at the statistics. "This is the NBA. Of course, T-MAC chose that way back then.

That's right, no one could have imagined that Otis would suddenly become a different person.

If he is still the same Otis as he was then, maybe Wood will leave soon. It can only be said that this is God's arrangement. We can't complain about other people."

Tracy McGrady's goal helped the Rockets narrow the point difference to eight points. Lin Sen took Milicic's serve and drove the ball forward.

"Attack! Attack! Attack!"

A uniform call soon sounded in the center of the water house.

Lin Sen brought the ball to the frontcourt, and the man responsible for defending him was rookie Brooks.

Off the court, Lin Sen could see how fast this rookie Brooks was. However, in addition to his speed, this rookie's height and weight were a big disadvantage.

Brooks guarded Lin Sen carefully, even though Lin Sen was only a second-year player and had only played one more year than him.

But he can't compare with him. He didn't play against Lin Sen in college, and his reputation can't be compared with him.

"Aaron defended very hard, but he was not eager to start at all. This kind of defense is very good. Especially his speed may cause some trouble to Wood." Barkley gave a good evaluation of Brooks' defense.

"But his body is too thin. He is even thinner than Wood when he first entered the league. If I remember correctly, he replaced AI as the thinnest guy in the league after entering the league." Kenny Smith added.

Lin Sen pulled the ball around and turned his back to Brooks.

Being fast but not tall makes him very passive on the defensive end. Lin Sen realized this last year, so he strengthened his strength training and chose to gain weight appropriately.

The rest of the Magic chose to pull away, and Lin Sen played a single against a rookie like Brooks. They still believed in Lin Sen's ability.

Bang!

A collision with his back made Brooks immediately take half a step back.

Although he was tenacious and pushed up again, Lin Sen fell down for the second time.

Under Lin Sen's collision again, Brooks was knocked back half a step again.

Just when Brooks tried to press forward again, Lin Sen slapped and pulled the ball, turned over and jumped up.

"Oh, Wood just turned over and shot a jumper. This is not a two-pointer but a three-pointer!" Kenny Smith shouted loudly.

"This is Wood's first three-point shot in this game, a difficult three-pointer!" Barkley looked at Linsen and said.

Brooks immediately stopped and jumped up. When he completed his take-off, Linsen had already thrown the ball.

The ball drew an arc amidst the cheers of Magic fans in the audience and steadily got into the basket.

Lin Sen made a three-point gesture with both hands and slashed it down from the air. The cheers in the center of the water house increased to a higher level.

"On the first three-pointer, I said that Wood would never give up his specialty. This was his first three-pointer, and the point difference returned to double digits again." Barkley said with a smile.

"Wood is also a response to T-MAC. He is using his performance to tell T-MAC that this is his territory now." Kenny Smith looked at Brooks holding the ball, "I think this time Houston will attack again."

Leave it to t-mac."

During the transition between offense and defense, rookie Brooks brought the ball to half court and instead of playing it himself, just as Kenny Smith said, he handed the ball to McGrady.

After a tactical move, Linsen and Hill chose to switch defenses.

"Wood defends T-Mac. This is a direct confrontation between two generations of Orlando kings. It is also a direct confrontation between two No. 1s.

The two of them have been training together in the summer, and they must know each other very well, but at their level of ability, even if they understand each other, it is difficult to defend, and Wood's height is an absolute disadvantage, just like he just bullied rookie Aaron.

"Kenny Smith said with a smile.

At this moment, Tracy McGrady leaned sideways against Lin Sen and took the ball with his right hand. The action of holding the ball with one hand made the Magic fans at the scene feel like they were back in 2001.

I trained with Tracy McGrady and Kobe Bryant in the summer, and there were many direct conversations between the three. As Kenny Smith said, even if you understand each other, it is not easy to guard against them.

Not to mention that Lin Sen's biggest shortcoming is that he is far less tall than Tracy McGrady. So he can only interfere as much as possible. It is almost impossible to directly block Tracy McGrady.

Lin Sen opened his arms and pressed his chest against Tracy McGrady.

Bang!

Tracy McGrady bumped into Linsen and then started dribbling.

After the second impact, Tracy McGrady half-turned around to face Lin Sen directly.

Lin Sen didn't feel good. He stared at Tracy McGrady carefully, his right hand always stretched out in front of Tracy McGrady's eyes.

"shit!"

Lin Sen cursed lowly, and Maddie jumped up in front of him without any warning.

"T-Mac pull-up jumper, it's a three-point pull-up!" Kenny Smith shouted.

Lin Sen jumped to defend with the quickest reaction, and as soon as he reached his hand in front of Tracy McGrady, Tracy McGrady had already thrown the ball.

Lin Sen watched the ball fly over his head and glanced at Tracy McGrady's iconic sleepy eyes. He saw the confidence that he would score in Tracy McGrady's eyes.

Whoosh!

"Tracy gave Wood the most direct response. He completed the most direct response with a pull-up three-pointer. Tracy's lack of any celebration made people feel his terror.

Although I am a die-hard Wood fan, I have to say that Tracy's ability has always been here, and as long as he is serious, even injuries cannot stop him." Barkley said while looking at Tracy McGrady who was retreating from the backcourt.

Lin Sen took Milicic's serve and immediately pushed forward.

Just after he passed the center circle, he found that the person standing one step inside the three-point line waiting for him was not Brooks, but Tracy McGrady who had just completed the attack in front of him.

Linsen originally only watched the video highlights of Tracy McGrady's defense. It was only after training with Tracy McGrady and Kobe Bryant in the summer that he realized how terrifying Tracy McGrady was when he was serious about defending.

Lin Sen slowly approached with the ball, and McGrady looked at Lin Sen with his anxious eyes.

He didn't feel much about playing against Lin Sen before, but this was the first time he and Lin Sen played against each other at the Water House Center.

Playing in this place where he once fought and dominated, he doesn't want to give in easily. He wants to tell all Orlando fans that he once ruled here and is still capable of ruling here even if he leaves.

The ball shuttled back and forth between Lin Sen's hips as Lin Sen's body swayed. Tracy McGrady knew that this was Lin Sen's habitual move. It didn't look threatening but revealed countless possibilities.

Lin Sen's eyes were looking at McGrady's right side. McGrady's height advantage allowed him to let go of Lin Sen a little, even if Lin Sen suddenly took off and shot. His height advantage could make up for it, so he let go of Lin Sen and focused on the defensive breakthrough.

superior.

Lin Sen, who was almost half a body away from Tracy McGrady, sped up his dribbling rhythm.

Bah!

The center of gravity of his body suddenly dropped, and Lin Sen sprinted straight away.

It's like a cheetah that's ready to go, lying in wait for a long time, and then charging towards its prey with all its strength.

Tracy McGrady quickly adjusted his steps. Faced with Tracy McGrady's defensive reaction, Lin Sen swatted the ball with his right hand.

The ball bounced off the back and bounced to his left hand. Lin Sen's body also tilted to the left as the ball bounced.

Raise one hand high, open the other hand to expand your defensive area, and at the same time move your steps to your left.

Just as Tracy McGrady moved, Lin Sen slapped the ball with his left hand.

The ball hit the ground under his crotch and then returned to his right hand. At the same time, he twisted his waist and abdomen and took a step with his left foot, which happened to land on the right side of Tracy McGrady's body.

As the left foot landed, the right foot stepped out fiercely.

The speed was so fast that he could tear through almost everything. In the next second, Lin Sen forced his way through the right side of Tracy McGrady's body.

"Wood made a successful breakthrough, he broke through Tracy's defense!" Barkley shouted.

Tracy McGrady didn't change his expression much. When he completed his turn, Lin Sen was already heading inside.

Facing Tony Barty, his teammate from last season, Lin Sen was not polite at all.

One step away from the reasonable collision zone, Lin Sen jumped up.

Pulling the ball behind his head with his right hand, his whole body transformed into a sky-opening axe.

Facing Tony Barty's block, he hit the ball hard towards the basket with his right hand.

"This is Wood's direct response. He once again used his performance to tell t-mac that this is his Wood Lin's territory, and he is the new King of Orlando!" Barkley shouted.

After letting go of the rim, Lin Sen raised his right hand high and received MVP cheers from the audience.
