legendary point guard

"Philip seems to be emphasizing something," Hoffman said, looking at the Pistons bench.

"It doesn't take my head. I can guess what the emphasis is on. It must be defense, especially the perimeter defense against Wood. Wood hit three three-pointers tonight.

Wood was obviously well prepared, although this style of play weakened his lethality to a certain extent.

But it also avoids possible injuries. More importantly, Wood's three-pointer is too lethal, and there is no obvious damage to the lethality caused by his own offensive style."

"Bill, your analysis is so right. This is indeed Detroit's biggest problem at the moment, but fortunately the game is not at an irreversible point now." Just as Hoffman was speaking, players from both sides came on stage.

However, Sanders was stunned when he saw the players who came back from the Magic timeout because the opponent put Lin Sen on the bench instead of continuing to play.

"Oh, Stan actually took Wood off the field. He replaced Wood with Sean, and also replaced Dwight with Eddie. Such substitutions were obviously very targeted.

All the arrangements Detroit had just made were ineffective. Philip never expected that Stan would make such a substitution adjustment. Wood, who was feeling hot, returned to the bench." Bill Walton couldn't help but look at the man standing on the sidelines.

Sanders.

The expression on Sanders' face was very rich. If Lin Sen didn't play, all his arrangements would be ineffective.

But at this moment, he can only hope that the players will adjust themselves, and hope that the Magic will perform worse without Lin Sen.

In fact, Sanders was overly concerned. Without Linson and Howard, the Magic's intensity on the defensive end increased by a level.

Milicic was marking Rasheed Wallace, and his height and footwork made it difficult for Wallace.

And Sean Battier and Ron Artest's terrifying outside gates forced Hamilton to rely on running positions again and again to find offensive opportunities.

Even though Hamilton is known as the unstoppable mid-range shooter, the physical exhaustion under the Magic's strong defense can be imagined.

The first quarter lasted for another three minutes. The game also came to the second lineup adjustment time. Both sides basically needed to enter the second lineup competition.

"Stan requested a timeout. The past three minutes were extremely successful for Orlando. They successfully withstood Detroit's offense during Wood's absence and continued to maintain the lead." Hoffman said.

"Wood, they will definitely make substitutions later. As long as Rashid is missing, the pressure on the inside will be much less, and their playing style will not be so crazy. This is an opportunity.

So when you come out, I want to see the score increase as soon as possible!" Stan Van Gundy looked at Lin Sen and said.

Lin Sen nodded, he also knew that the Pistons must replace the inside line, otherwise the physical strength will not be able to last at all. If Rasheed Wallace is replaced, the pressure will indeed be much less.

"But don't be careless. If you can shoot, don't break through!" Stan Van Gundy emphasized, still worried.

"I understand! Don't worry!" Lin Sen naturally would not make fun of his body.

Saunders has some headaches over there. The departure of McDyess and Billups this season is fatal to the Pistons. They didn't get anyone in the free market and relied entirely on limited players to work hard.

Now entering the second lineup competition. Compared with the Magic, they are obviously at the bottom.

This was obvious in the first two games, so he could only change this game: "Tyshawn, you continue to play and pay attention to your physical distribution.

Ronald's team needs your scoring, play more reasonably." Sanders arranged, and soon the referee blew his whistle to indicate that the timeout time was up.

"The timeout is up, the two sides entered the second lineup to compete in the first two games..." Bill Walton was talking. Seeing the lineup on the field, he suddenly changed the topic, "Okay, I announce that the weaknesses in the first two games will be eliminated by Orlando.

Wireless zoom, Stan actually replaced Wood, his staggered arrangement, I really should give him a thumbs up. Although Tyshaun is still on the court, Detroit is missing Rasheed inside. Rasheed's

His presence is a huge threat to the entire Orlando team, and his temper and impulsiveness are the most fundamental reasons why Wood did not enter this game.

I really want to know what Philip was thinking when he saw Stan’s arrangement.”

"Stan is developing like a master of improvisation. This season's best coach award is the best compliment for him, and he deserves it." Hoffman said.

Sanders looked at Lin Sen walking onto the court and opened his mouth in frustration.

Originally, he planned to ask Prince to defend Lin Sen, but Lin Sen came off the court. Although Prince was still on the court at this moment, if Prince continued to expend physical energy on defense, he would not be able to last until the end.

"Aaron!" Sanders shouted to Afflalo on the court, making a gesture to let him guard Lin Sen.

Afflalo nodded, but he was worried in his heart, even though he was mainly defensive in the Pistons this season.

But Lin Sen's offensive strength was so powerful that he couldn't help but worry.

And this is also the most basic manifestation of Linsen's lethality today, just like people like Kobe and Tracy McGrady.

It will invisibly put tremendous pressure on the defensive players. This is the fundamental difference between superstars and ordinary players.

"Philip seems to be calling rookie Aaron. Does he know that rookie Aaron is going to defend Wood?

Although I know Aaron is a defensive player, I am not optimistic that he can guard Wood!" Bill Walton looked at Afflalo and said.

Compared with the Pistons' lineup that is almost difficult to name, the Magic's defense line at the moment is Lin Sen and Sam Cassell, the forward is Grant Hill, the power forward is Chris Webber, and the center is Mutombo.

If everyone is at their peak, this lineup will be extremely terrifying and a team that is good enough to compete for the championship.

David Stern on the sidelines looked at Lin Sen holding the ball and smiled. The ratings and efficiency of the NBA this season have been greatly improved compared to last season.

The Magic's game ratings ranked first among the 30 teams in the league, and Lin Sen was undoubtedly the main factor.

Afflalo was selected by the Pistons with the 27th pick in the first round this year. After entering the Pistons, he integrated with the entire team's style and established himself in the NBA with defense.

He doesn't play a lot of time in the regular season, averaging close to 20 minutes per game. He is one of the team's key players.

Lin Sen had just brought the ball to the frontcourt, and Afflalo, who was guarding him, came up.

When he touched Lin Sen's half-smiling eyes, Afflalo couldn't help but feel fear in his heart.

The look in his eyes was not that suffocating fear, but a kind of relaxation.

It was this sense of relief that made him feel worried.

"Defend! Defend! Defend!"

The Palace of Auburn Hills cheered loudly for Afflalo. Every fan wanted to see Lin Sen blocked.

Lin Sen lowered his body's center of gravity and performed continuous crotch movements easily.

Looking at Afflalo's eyes, he didn't seem to be planning to take any immediate action.

However, Afflalo didn't dare to be careless, just when he was preparing with all his heart.

Lin Sen in front of him suddenly turned around and flicked his left arm, blocking Afflalo from his side.

Afflalo wanted to turn around. However, Lin Sen's arm blocked him and after he turned around, Lin Sen accelerated and completely threw him away.

Sanders couldn't help but curse. He didn't expect Afflalo to be left behind by Lin Sen so easily.

The Detroit fans at the scene couldn't help but marvel at Lin Sen's passing and cutting speed. In addition to being amazed, they also couldn't help but sigh how good it would be if he were a Pistons player.

But they could only watch with envy as Lin Sen shook off Afflalo, but soon they booed Lin Sen.

Linsen, who passed Afflalo, quickly reached the free throw line. Tayshaun Prince on the other side was on the other side of the free throw line.

After Lin Sen got rid of Afflalo, he threw away Grant Hill, who was guarding him, and pressed forward.

Afflalo, who failed to defend, did not choose to chase Lin Sen. Instead, he quickly switched defenses with his teammates to prevent Lin Sen's pass from reaching a neutral position.

Amir Johnson on the inside was well prepared and at the same time consciously contracted his position.

Mutombo's speed and offensive ability allowed him to shrink his position, and Lin Sen was about to fall into a double team.

Double teaming is a huge challenge for many people.

And there are many people who like challenges. Especially when shooting inside, Lin Sen is undoubtedly one of them.

In the first seven minutes of the first quarter, Lin Sen failed to make a breakthrough inside. Although this was a team requirement, it was extremely uncomfortable for Lin Sen, who liked breakthroughs more than shooting.

Not to mention forcefully restraining himself from breaking through, Lin Sen seemed to be rushing over at this moment.

At this moment, Lin Sen was enjoying the situation in front of him, facing the defensive Prince and the shrinking Amir Johnson.

Lin Sen swatted the ball hard. The ball hit the floor and bounced quickly. At the moment of rebound, Lin Sen's left foot stepped heavily on the floor.

At this moment, he is still almost three and a half meters away from the basket. Such a distance gives Lin Sen many shooting options, even if he is about to face a double team.

"Wood. Wood faces the defense inside. Can the inside without Rashid stop Wood? Wood looks unstoppable!

A long-distance takeoff, is Wood going to dunk?" Bill Walton looked at Lin Sen who was taking off and shouted.

Rasheed Wallace stood up off the court: "Guard him, guard him! Damn guard him!"

Prince and Amir Johnson both saw Lin Sen take off, and Prince also took off immediately.

His extra long arms are his biggest advantage on the defensive end. Although he took off a little later than Linsen, Prince's left hand covered Linsen in the air as much as possible.

Amir Johnson on the other side did not take off, but immediately stood still and raised his arms high.

This kind of defense gave Lin Sen a better choice and raised the ball with his left hand.

The ball was completely exposed immediately. Prince stretched out his hand and saw that Lin Sen was just a hair away from the basket.

The moment he and Johnson were about to collide, Lin Sen collected the ball with his left hand and met it with his right hand.

In an instant, the ball moved from his left hand to his right hand, and the left hand that originally held the ball became the best weapon to stop Prince.

If Johnson wanted to jump at this moment, he would only be charged a foul. He could only feel Lin Sen's body colliding with his.

He gently picked the ball away from Johnson with his right hand, and the whole action was so smooth that even Detroit fans had to admit that Linson's attack was beautiful this time.

"Wood, Wood did it. He changed hands to pick the basket in the air. The ball was so beautiful and elegant. Wood once again showed his strong inhuman physical fitness.

Before Wood entered the league, yellow people could not fly. It was recognized by fans all over the world that yellow people could not perform various flying movements in the air. However, Wood used his own personal experience to tell everyone that yellow people can also fly.

Wood is like an inspirational drama. He tells everyone that yellow people are not unable, but can!

I'll never get tired of watching this kind of offense a million times," Bill Walton said with a slight exaggeration.

The Palace of Auburn Hills fell silent for a while, and then loud boos erupted again.

However, Lin Sen was not afraid and ran to the backcourt in the face of the boos.

"What Philip should be more worried about now is that without Rashid's internal restraint, he will not be able to contain Wood's breakthrough.

Once Wood breaks through and opens up the situation, the entire Orlando team can be activated, and this is the most important thing." Hoffman said.

Sanders was gesturing off the court, and all the Pistons players knew what this gesture meant.

However, what the Pistons players need to consider at this moment is the offensive end, and the defensive end should be considered later.

The ball was held by Ronald Murray. Lin Sen saw him dribbling the ball past the midline from a distance. He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Murray, as if staring at a prey.

Murray came to the Pistons. Although he came off the bench, he continued his role as a bench gangster during his time with the Atlanta Hawks. He averaged 12 points per game for the Pistons and was the most advantageous offensive weapon on the bench for the Pistons.

Especially after Billups is absent, his role is even more obvious.

In the lineup at this time, Murray is also the player with the most independent offensive ability besides Prince.

Looking at Lin Sen waiting for him, Murray knew that Lin Sen's offensive ability was very strong, but he also knew that Lin Sen's defensive ability was not outstanding.

So he wanted to try to beat Lin Sen alone. Seeing Lin Sen getting closer and closer, Murray lowered his center of gravity little by little.

Soon the two were less than half a meter apart. Looking at Ronald Murray who was continuously making crotch movements, Lin Sen did not press forward but waited.

Ronald Murray dribbled the ball with a wide range. Lin Sen looked at Ronald Murray in front of him with a half-smiling expression.

In Murray's eyes, such an expression looked down on his smile, which made him even more determined to defeat Lin Sen alone.

The ball bounces back and forth between the palm of his hand and the floor, the frequency of the ball getting faster and faster. The range of his movements is also getting larger and larger.

Lin Sen followed Ronald Murray's dribbling and changed his steps, looking a little messy.

"It's now!"

Ronald Murray whispered that in his opinion Linsen's defense was about to collapse.

Another big change of direction was made, the ball moved from the left hand to the right hand. Lin Sen in front of him slid to his right.

Snapped!

Ronald Murray hit the ball hard with his right hand, and the ball flew to the ground again.

Just as Ronald Murray was hitting the ball, Lin Sen, who was sliding to the right, cut the ball directly with his right hand at lightning speed.

Snapped!

Hearing the sound of the collision between his hand and the ball, Ronald Murray, who was waiting for the ball to arrive, saw Linsen's body coming to him from half a distance away from him, and he immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Wood, Wood Junior!!!" Hoffman shouted.

While stealing the ball with his right hand, Linsen's left foot got stuck on the right side of Ronald Murray's body.

Lin Sen used his left foot as a pivot and pulled with his right hand. Lin Sen, who was close to Ronald Murray, threw Ronald Murray behind him in the next moment.

"Wood, Wood grabbed the ball and turned around directly. This was a competition of speed. Wood had the advantage. This was an almost unfair competition, but Ronald overestimated himself!" Bill Walton looked at the field.

Lin Sen shouted after turning around after pulling up the ball.

Ronald Murray, who had the ball stolen, immediately turned around and accelerated as Lin Sen started to speed up. He pressed closely against Lin Sen and tried to use his body to slow down Lin Sen.

Ronald Murray's interception of the ball was something that the Pistons generals did not expect. Although Ronald Murray and Lin Sen were entangled together, they were both very fast like running into a good opponent in a 100-meter race.

So that others can't help at all.

Lin Sen, who was dribbling the ball, was unable to get rid of Ronald Murray immediately under the constant impact of Ronald Murray, thus gaining a clear advantage.

Under such circumstances, the two people came to the three-point line in the frontcourt.

"shit!"

Regarding the lingering ghost of Ronald Murray, Lin Sen's mind was racing rapidly.

The two of them had already entered the free throw line, and Lin Sen made a sudden stop.

There was a harsh friction sound between the sneakers and the floor, and at the same time, both hands violently lifted the ball.

Ronald Murray, who had been working hard to get close to Lin Sen, was caught off guard and directly moved away from Lin Sen. When he saw Lin Sen raising the ball with both hands, he jumped up without thinking.

When he jumped up, he immediately regretted it, because the time difference between him and Lin Sen was enough for him to complete the attack, but Lin Sen did not take action immediately.

Seeing Ronald Murray jump up, Lin Sen immediately stepped forward to greet him.

Snapped!

Lin Sen's left arm hit Ronald Murray's right hand, and the referee's whistle sounded immediately.

"I will never let you hit a three-pointer."

Ronald Murray roared in his heart, and the strength of his right hand increased instantly.

Lin Sen, who was adjusting, had no idea that Ronald Murray suddenly applied more force, his body's center of gravity suddenly lost, and he fell directly to the floor.

Seeing Lin Sen fall down, Ronald Murray breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile flashed on his face.

This smile could not escape Lin Sen's eyes, and Lin Sen, who was originally preparing to take protective measures, was completely aroused.

Just as he was about to fall to the floor, Lin Sen aimed at the basket and pushed the ball out.

Bang!

Lin Sen fell sideways, and the bones in his waist hit the floor hard.

The pain suddenly rushed to his head, and Lin Sen couldn't help but take a breath of air.

Boom!

Whoosh!

The ball that was forced out hit the board and fell into the basket.
