legendary point guard

"Wood, who do you think will win this game tonight?"

"Wood, what kind of state will you play tonight? Will you create another miracle in Boston?"

"Wood, Boston said it would definitely take away the victory. What do you think?"

…

Lin Sen looked at the reporters surrounding him and adjusted his arm guards.

"Have you seen this word?" Lin Sen pointed to his arm guard, which had a big word "love" on it.

"Of course, this is love. Wood, do you mean you are fighting for love tonight? For whom? Natalie, Carolina, Lindsay, Amanda or someone else."

Lin Sen did not answer, but stood up: "I'm going to warm up!"

"Wood, you haven't said whose love you are for?"

"Wood, tell me!"

"We will not make random reports, just satisfy our thirst for knowledge."

…

Hearing the words behind him, Lin Sen almost laughed: "Fight for everyone who loves me, my family, my fans!"

"Both Boston and Orlando, who are playing at home, want to win against their opponents. Whoever loses will ruin a season's hard work. Boston can't afford to lose, and Orlando can't afford to lose either.

It is not easy to fly away from Orlando to challenge Houston once they lose this game, especially the two heavyweight games are only one day apart.

Maybe I should give a thumbs up to the people who arranged the schedule, they gave everyone suspense." Charles Barkley appeared in front of the camera, and the fans in front of the TV also turned on the TV and waited for the start of the game.

"This is a super heavyweight showdown. The intensity will not be lower than in the playoffs, but will be higher! Once Boston loses the game, they will meet another strong team, Cleveland, in the semifinals. Cleveland is not an easy team to deal with.

's team.

Of course the same goes for Orlando. I'm looking forward to this game!" Kenny Smith added.

Within twenty minutes, the game, which was broadcast live across the United States, began.

"Dwight is in great shape after his comeback. He has completely thrown away his bad state in March. Charles, is there anything else you want to say now?" Kenny Smith looked at Barkley with a smile.

When Howard was in poor condition and had conflicts with the team, Barkley was at the forefront of blackmailing Howard, and once had a verbal spat with Howard's agent, Dan Fagan.

"Dwight is indeed in good form recently, but we cannot deny what he has done before. And his offense is still so bad. It's just that his teammates are sending too many shells, so the data is better.

Of course I can’t deny the efforts of getting rid of Dwight, but in my opinion it’s not enough!”

In the words of Charles Barkley, the referee Jarvis threw the ball into the air, and Dwight Howard and Kevin Garnett jumped at the same time.

When he was young, Garnett would not be afraid of anyone on the jump ball, but now he is no longer young and his bounce is not as good as before.

Howard dialed the ball out first, and Lin Sen took the ball directly into his hands.

The Celtics had obviously anticipated this situation. After the jump ball, the entire team retreated quickly.

Lin Sen was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, he gestured to calm down.

"Wood has been criticized a lot in these games. Many people said that he deliberately gave up assists. Charles, what do you think?"

Kenny Smith pointed out the issue that Lin Sen has been criticized the most recently. It is not easy to reach 15 assists in six consecutive games, but Lin Sen did it.

In order to assist Lin Sen, his scoring in six consecutive games did not exceed the season average. This approach caused many media to raise objections.

Barkley sneered: "Brushing data? This is also based on team victory and personal strength. Not everyone can brush data, and hasn't Orlando's offense been bad in recent games?

Wood is a point guard, isn't it the right thing to pass the ball? Maybe those so-called experts should put their heads in ice water to cool down."

Just as Barkley was speaking, Lin Sen, who had taken the ball to the three-point line, suddenly pulled with his right hand under the watch of Rajon Rondo.

After pulling up, Lin Sen swung the ball directly. The ball was very fast and flew directly away from Lin Sen's palm and hit the floor.

After the ball hit the ground, it directly penetrated the Celtics' defense.

Artest, who cut to the basket with the help of Milicic's screen, happened to receive Linsen's long-distance ground pass.

When Artest received the ball, the Celtics' defense was too late and could only watch as Artest smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.

"ron!ron!ron!"

The fans at the Waterhouse Center shouted loudly as they watched Artest showing off his muscles under the basket.

"Kenny, you guy almost made me miss a wonderful cooperation. Look at Wood's pass, f...uck, this is art!" Barkley yelled with expletives.

Kenny Smith had to admit that the difficulty and beauty of Lin Sen's pass just now were first-class. If there was no good team understanding, the ball would probably be a mistake. If there was not enough assurance, the ball would not be passed.

"Although Charles Wood's assist data this season is not as good as last season, his assist ability has improved significantly. This cannot be reflected by simple data. The goal just now is the best reflection. As long as there is anything wrong, then

What you’re waiting for is a mistake.”

What Kenny Smith said is absolutely true. Although Linsen's assists per game this season are not as good as last season, his passing and organizational skills improved a lot last season.

The game continues, and the experienced Celtics will not be defeated by the Magic's wonderful cooperation.

Back on the offensive end, Garnett reached the free throw line and received Rondo's pass. Lin Sen, who had been teammates with Garnett, naturally knew Garnett's support ability.

Garnett also has a long-range shot and can break through, which puts a lot of pressure on Darko Milicic, who is guarding him.

Facing Milicic who was defending him, Garnett laughed: "Go back to Europe!"

After finishing speaking, Garnett raised the ball with both hands and made a shooting fake. Then he quickly put it away. He leaned directly on Milicic and rushed inside.

Garnett looks thin, but his strength is not bad.

Garnett, who was facing Milicic, rushed towards the basket forcefully, but Milicic raised his arms to interfere.

Artest, who was one step inside the three-point line on the same side, chose to double-team. Lin Sen knew at a glance that it was not good. Artest's double-team would free up Pierce.

"Switch defense!" Linsen shouted. Billups immediately ran to Pierce's side, while Linsen ran to Ray Allen's side.

Rajon Rondo, who had no shooting ability, was directly left open, and just as Linsen thought, Garnett passed the ball to Pierce.

Pierce had a chance to take a shot before Billups pounced on him. But it was not an absolute open shot.

Rondo, who was supposed to be guarding Lin Sen, stood alone at the top of the key without anyone watching him. He was stunned for a moment and then rushed towards the basket. Pierce threw the ball directly.

After receiving the ball, Rondo directly threw a high ball, and the ball flew towards the basket before Howard's defense was in place.

Whoosh!

Rajon Rondo threw the ball and hit the basket steadily. Lin Sen had no idea. After all, it was just for defense, and Rondo had no offensive ability.

Lin Sen wouldn't mind at all if the Celtics handed over all shots to Rondo. He didn't believe Rondo could kill the Magic with offense.

The game continued. However, Lin Sen had to pay attention to Rajon Rondo.

In this game, the Celtics did not play many individual games, but relied more on the team.

Even though Garnett, Pierce and Ray Allen all have strong singles abilities, the Celtics don't use them that way.

Instead, they used their not-so-fast pace to match the team's various basic tactics to find the Magic's defensive loopholes.

Every attack was cut to pieces by the Celtics. They were unsure and refused to shoot, even if it was close to 20 seconds. This was the first time Lin Sen had encountered such a style of play since he played against the Celtics.

It also caused big trouble for the Magic's defense, and the Magic had to use more defensive substitutions to contain the Celtics' offense.

The most important thing is that Rondo and Perkins have become direct beneficiaries of the Celtics' style of play.

Now six minutes into the first quarter, Perkins and Rondo scored six points each, while the Celtics only scored 15 points.

"Boston looked extremely abnormal tonight. I have never seen them play like this, and Orlando was also in trouble. Although Orlando did not do badly on the offensive end, it consumed a lot of energy on the defensive end."

Kenny Smith looked at the field and said.

Garnett held the ball again on the court. The ball passed through Garnett and passed to Pierce. Pierce passed the ball to Ray Allen, and finally the ball was passed from Ray Allen to Garnett.

Garnett passed the ball directly to Perkins inside, but Howard's defense showed a loophole.

This loophole allowed Perkins to find an opportunity again, although Howard made up for it immediately and blocked the ball.

But Jarvie's whistle sounded, indicating that Howard was an interference ball.

There were boos in the center of the water house, but Lin Sen could clearly see that this was indeed an interference ball.

"Kendrick again, is he trying to score in a single game of his career tonight? Dwight doesn't even score as many as him?" Kenny Smith joked.

With Perkins' goal, the Celtics took the lead by one point.

Stan Van Gundy on the sidelines could no longer sit still and requested a timeout.

However, for a while, the Magic couldn't find any good opportunities.

Although Perkins and Rondo were contained, there wasn't much that could be done to others.

"Boston used San Antonio's tactics at Orlando's home court and caused big trouble to Orlando. I have a feeling that Doc Rivers wants to use the previous tactics in the second half or even the last quarter." Buck.

Li Ru said.

Barkley's words struck a chord with Rivers, and he had exactly this plan.

Magic fans throughout the Waterhouse Center could see that the Magic were in big trouble tonight because the Celtics had the ball on the court.

Rajon Rondo dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Lin Sen did not defend Rondo, but Ray Allen.

Pierce directly pulled out to set a screen for Rondo, using Pierce's screen.

Rajon Rondo got rid of Chauncey Billups, and Ray Allen, who was guarding Lin Sen, also used Garnett's screen to circle out from the inside.

Rondo passed the ball directly. Facing Howard and Ray Allen who rushed towards him, he still caught and shot cleanly.

The ball went into the basket amidst the boos from the audience.

At this moment, Lin Sen was standing next to Powell, who was being defended by Howard. Lin Sen was very reluctant to watch the ball beating on the floor.

"This is the role of Allen. It can definitely play a huge role in containing Orlando's defense. He just used kg's screen. Even Wood's speed can only rely on Dwight's defense, but Dwight still failed to prevent it.

, Allen's shot was too decisive and too fast!" Kenny Smith said.

With Ray Allen's three-pointer, the Celtics expanded their lead by 8 points.

This season, the Magic haven't fallen behind often in the first half, which makes fans worried.

Back on the offensive end, it was Ray Allen who was responsible for defending Lin Sen. But this time Lin Sen did not stay on the outside but used the screen to stop in the low post outside the three-second zone.

"Oh, Wood stayed in the low post. I saw Wood's low post offensive skills during the game against Houston. Although he didn't show it many times, I felt that Wood must have specially practiced the low post skills. I am looking forward to Wood's offense!"

Barkley looked at the field expectantly.

Lin Sen in the low post blocked Ray Allen behind him, and then raised his hand toward the outside.

Not long ago, Lin Sen showed his ability to attack in the low post for the first time when he played against the Rockets at home. However, Lin Sen knew that he was not good in the low post. In the subsequent games, Lin Sen did not use the low post attack much, only a few times in a game.

.

His butt bumped into Ray Allen behind him, and he caught the ball steadily with both hands.

Holding the ball in front of his chest with both hands, Lin Sen's shoulders swayed, and his butt hit him backwards again.

When Ray Allen withstood the impact, Lin Sen suddenly pivoted with his left foot and looked ready to cut in from the left side of Ray Allen.

Just when Ray Allen shifted his body weight, Lin Sen quickly retracted his turning movement.

Instead, he jumped directly on the spot, used a standard inside player's hook action, and threw the ball.

"Wood's hook! The ball went in! Wood's hook, Dwight, did you see it? You should ask Wood how to practice his hook. If it weren't for his height, I would definitely think Wood was an inside post."

"Hey, Charles, you don't seem to be very tall, but you are an insider." Kenny Smith joked, and Barkley glared at Kenny Smith with a black line.

After scoring the goal, Lin Sen didn't say anything, but ran quickly to the backcourt.

In the transition between offense and defense, the Celtics handed the ball directly to Paul Pierce, who was holding the ball in the mid-range. In this game, the Celtics rarely played singles with the ball.

But this time it seemed like it was a single, with Pierce's standard triple-threat ball-handling moves facing Ron Artest's defense.

"Does pp want to play singles?" Kenny Smith said while looking at the court.

Pierce's right foot quickly made a tentative step, accompanied by shaking of his shoulders and a feint in holding the ball.

Artest didn't stumble, but Pierce jumped up in front of him and threw the ball backwards.

The ball flew past Artest's hurried fingers and toward the basket.

In the live broadcast footage, Pierce has a confident smile on his lips.

The ball flew higher and higher until it went into the basket, and a burst of white waves appeared on the net.

"PP's goal wiped out Wood's goal just now. There is one minute left in the first half and Orlando is still 8 points behind. Whether Orlando can reduce the difference to 5 points is very important." Barkley looked at the scoreboard.

said.

However, the Magic failed to narrow the point difference to 5 points at the end of the first half. Instead, Garnett's offensive rebound dunk widened the point difference to 10 points.

The half-time whistle sounded, and the atmosphere at the Waterhouse Center seemed a little solemn. It had been a long time since Orlando fans had seen a scene in which they were trailing other teams by double digits in the first half.

The most important thing is that in today's game, Orlando seemed to have no way to deal with the Celtics' offense.

Twenty minutes later, the second half began.

The Celtics, who lost the jump ball, were the first to attack. As soon as Rajon Rondo came up, he sent a wonderful pass.

It was almost exactly the same as Lin Sen's pass to Artest in the opening game, except that the passer and receiver were Rondo and Ray Allen.

Ray Allen received the ball and scored two points with an easy layup, and these two points also helped the Celtics expand their lead to 12 points.

"Boston scored at the beginning of the second half. Orlando still didn't look ready. If you can't find a good defensive method, then simply turn on the offensive mode. Although defense can win the championship, sometimes offense is the best.

Defense!" Barkley said looking at Lin Sen holding the ball.

The Magic's situation is very bad now, and Lin Sen is the one who must step up at this time.

As soon as Lin Sen held the ball, Pierce immediately stood in front of him to defend.

Lin Sen glanced at Pierce and made two feints in succession, but Pierce remained unmoved.

After a hip dribble, Lin Sen changed direction and used his speed to tear apart Pierce's defense.

However, Lin Sen had just made a breakthrough. Lin Sen's former eldest brother Garnett quickly defended in front of Lin Sen.

Pierce, who had been thrown away by Lin Sen, turned around and chased after him. The two men were about to form a pincer attack on Lin Sen.

Subconsciously switching hands and dribbling, he happened to avoid Pierce's steal behind him. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Ron Artest in the opposite corner. Lin Sen jumped up without any hesitation.

Jumping and passing the ball is a taboo on the court, but long-distance passing is even more taboo, but this is how Lin Sen made his choice.

The ball flew over everyone's heads and towards Artest in the bottom corner. Artest looked surprised when faced with Lin Sen's pass, but he adjusted successfully at the first opportunity.

Whoosh!

Faced with Ray Allen who rushed to defend, Artest jumped up and shot calmly and accurately hit the basket. Now Artest's role in the Magic is not only to defend the three-pointers from the outside but also to fight, which is what the Magic need.

.

"Wood, good pass!" Artest gave Lin Sen a thumbs up.

"Wood's pass was too risky. But it wouldn't be Wood without taking risks, and the effect was great. Ron scored a three-pointer, and the point difference returned to single digits. This is a good thing for Orlando.

information.

Of course, what they need is defense, and being able to prevent the Celtics' offense is the beginning of a good situation." Barkley said while looking at the court.

Lin Sen was guarding Rondo. Rondo searched for a while but didn't find a good opportunity, so he could only teach the ball to Ray Allen who stepped forward to ask for the ball.

Ray Allen catches the ball and shoots, and he fully demonstrates his advantage of quick release.

However, the ball failed to hit due to interference from Billups. Milicic grabbed a defensive rebound from Perkins under Howard's screen.

"Quick attack!"

Lin Sen had already started running forward when Milicic jumped up to grab the rebound, and behind Lin Sen were Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen who were chasing him.

Just as Lin Sen imagined, Milicic grabbed the rebound and immediately passed the ball to Lin Sen, who was running forward.

Now Milicic's long pass and Lin Sen's fast break have become a scene of magic.

Although he saw Lin Sen being chased by Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen, Milicic believed in Lin Sen's speed advantage and threw the ball directly to the frontcourt.

"Dakko made a long pass, Wood made a quick break!" Barkley shouted.

Although Rajon Rondo's speed is enough to rank among the top in the league, it is still far behind Lin Sen's speed.

Ray Allen's speed was undoubtedly worse. Lin Sen looked back at the ball flying forward in the air and estimated the landing point of the basketball.

The basketball flew past Ray Allen, Rajon Rondo, and Lin Sen's head landed at the three-point line.

Rondo really wanted to make himself faster, but this was a luxury. He could only watch Lin Sen push him further and further away.

Lin Sen took the ball in his hands and accelerated directly behind him. Ray Allen and Rondo had already given up on the pursuit. The two of them watched Lin Sen getting closer and closer to the basket.

After taking two big steps, Lin Sen jumped towards the basket. All the fans at the scene were looking forward to Lin Sen's performance.

Looking at the basket, Lin Sen glided in the air and smashed the ball towards the basket.

Bang!

The basketball was smashed into the basket without any suspense.

"Wood dunked successfully, Orlando scored 5 points in a row, and the difference between the two sides was only 7 points. This is a good momentum for Orlando!" Barkley said.

Such a beautiful yet difficult dunk undoubtedly greatly stimulated the morale of the Magic team, and also dampened the morale of the Celtics.

Next, the Magic, whose morale was greatly improved, defended the Celtics' offense three times in a row. Of course, the Celtics' poor touch was also one of the main reasons.

The Magic felt hot and completed two more attacks.

Once, Lin Sen broke through and attracted a double team and passed the ball to Artest. Artest hit his fourth three-pointer. Another time, Lin Sen broke through and hit the ground to Howard under the basket, and Howard directly hit him.

Perkins, who was ill-prepared, completed a two-handed dunk.

The Magic suddenly launched a 10:0 attack wave, forcing Doc Rivers to call a timeout.

"Guys, keep up the good work, you are the best."

The twelve-point deficit has been reduced to only two points, allowing Mike Stan Van Gundy to once again see hope of winning at home.

After returning from the timeout, the Magic replaced Sean Battier to further strengthen the defense, and the offensive and defensive rhythm of both sides became even tighter.

The shooting percentage also dropped to a certain extent, and the third quarter ended in a high-intensity competition between the two sides.

The Magic, which was still 10 points behind in the first half, not only successfully launched a counterattack to completely fill the gap, but also led the Celtics by two points, 73:71, at the end of the third quarter.

Although Lin Sen didn't take many shots in this quarter, his restricted passes gave the Magic a great boost. Lin Sen's outstanding performance was the key to the Magic's overtaking.

Lin Sen, wrapped in a big towel, sat quietly on a chair, drinking the Gatorade handed to him by the staff and looking at the big screen above the arena.

16 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists were the numbers he got in the first three quarters. Lin Sen knew how resilient the Celtics were, especially the Celtics' Big Three, who were definitely not easily defeated.

"Wood didn't continue to rest?" Kenny Smith looked at Lin Sen on the court with some surprise, while Pierce and Ray Allen from the Celtics didn't rest either.

This situation was beyond both sides' expectations. After the start of the fourth quarter, Lin Sen's shot missed the frame due to interference from Pierce. Powell grabbed the defensive rebound and immediately handed it to Rajon Rondo.

Rondo ran a few steps with the ball and sent a ground-breaking pass that looked across the court directly to the hands of Ray Allen who was about to leave.

Ray Allen caught the ball one step beyond the three-point line and immediately took action. Such a chasing three-pointer left Lin Sen, who had retreated inside, without any preparation. He could only watch as Ray Allen made the three-pointer.

basket.

One defense and one offense. The Celtics relied on Ray Allen's chasing three-pointer to take the lead by one point again.

Lin Sen came to the frontcourt and passed the ball directly to Chris Webber in the paint without stopping for a moment. Lin Sen was running outside the three-point line, ready to respond at any time.

Weber received Linson's pass and faced Powell's defense, turned around and shot, and sent the ball into the basket.

The Celtics returned to the offensive end and tied the score. Linsen passed the ball to Hill.

Hill's ball-handling ability will undoubtedly form a good pillar for the Magic's offense on the court.

Grant Hill looked sharply at Jermaine O'Neal after receiving the pass. He needed revenge.

Grant Hill grabbed the ball, calmed his mind, and made several consecutive moves, trying to break through James Posey's defense. When Powell saw Grant Hill, he made a sharp move to the left, and Powell immediately slid to the right.

At this moment, Grant Hill immediately turned around in the opposite direction as Powell moved his steps.

"pretty!"

Lin Sen couldn't help but admire that Grant Hill had restored his former style just now.

Grant Hill, who successfully got rid of Powell, immediately pulled up, raised his hands and smashed the ball towards the basket.

"It's incredible, Grant is back in his Detroit days! This ball is really great!"

The game became more and more intense, with waves of offensive and defensive transitions, just like the ebb and flow of waves. The neutral fans in front of the TV were undoubtedly the biggest beneficiaries.

Lin Sen's performance did not seem to be affected by the break. Lin Sen was like a robot full of electricity, attacking and defending back and forth without sparing his physical strength. This made Stan Van Gundy worried off the court.

Lin Sen's physical actions also inspired the determination of other Magic players, especially Grant Hill, who used his own characteristics to continuously score for the Magic. Celtics head coach Doc Rivers looked at him on the sidelines.

The Magic's performance had to be called timeout again.

Doc Rivers was very depressed at this time. He had used up his last ammunition. All he could do was try his best to stimulate the last bit of the team's potential.

Lin Sen's continuous breakthroughs with the ball made the Celtics' defense look shaky. Lin Sen used his breakthroughs more often to pass the ball to his teammates, tearing apart the Celtics' defense with passes. Lin Sen's continuous assists

.

With 5 minutes left before the end of the game, Lin Sen personally got 15 assists again, getting 15+ assists for the 7th consecutive game.

The Orlando Magic also led the Celtics by 7 points, 92:85.

The fans at the Waterhouse Center were excited. They had already seen the balance of victory tilt towards the Magic.

However, what surprised everyone was that Tony Allen, who had poor shooting ability, surprised everyone. He made a three-point shot at the buzzer in 24 seconds and a direct three-pointer.

Two consecutive three-pointers helped the Celtics chase the deficit to just one point.

"God, Tony just scored two three-pointers. I thought they were scored by Ray Allen. They are all Allens. Is Tony possessed by Ray?" Kenny Smith looked at Tony Allen and felt it.

Incredible.

Tony Allen's two consecutive three-pointers also stimulated the Celtics' overall morale, and the Magic did not hesitate to let the two teams use the craziest defense to put pressure on each other, so much so that the two teams actually scored one point in 3 minutes.

Not obtained.

With 1 minute and 02 seconds left in the game, the Magic still led the Celtics by one point, 92:91.

Lin Sen controlled the ball. Just now, Lin Sen took two consecutive shots in order to break the deadlock, but he missed both times under defense.

This made Lin Sen decide to calm down, and Lin Sen lobbed the ball inside.

Although Lin Sen failed to succeed in his two attacks, everyone still believed that Lin Sen could still do it.

However, just after Howard caught the ball, Perkins, who was guarding Howard, stretched out his hand.

Snapped!

"Kendrick stole the ball from Dwight! This is a key steal!" Kenny Smith shouted immediately after reacting.

Garnett on the other side got the ball first. Lin Sen was stunned for a moment and immediately turned around to chase.

Although Lin Sen chased after him and successfully caught up with Rondo near the free throw line, Ray Allen was rushing down the other side, making it extremely difficult for Lin Sen to defend one against two.

In the end, Ray Allen sent the ball into the basket, and the cheers in the center of the water house suddenly disappeared. With 50 seconds left, the Magic, which had an absolute lead a few minutes ago, fell behind by one point at the critical moment.

Stan Van Gundy immediately used up the last long timeout.

After the timeout, Lin Sen looked up at the time on the big screen. The Magic had used up twenty-four seconds, and the Celtics had also used up twenty-four seconds, so the Magic would still have two seconds of shooting time.

There is still one last short pause for the magic. Although two seconds is short, it is not the time for Lin Sen to take action. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
