legendary point guard
Chapter 480 Return to the Indiana era
"Finally, the series matchup I've been looking forward to this season has come. There's no other game between Boston and Orlando as good as this one." Charles Barkley appeared in front of the TV screen with a smile.
"Of course you are looking forward to it, and I am looking forward to it too, because this represents the game of the highest level team this season.
Los Angeles and Cleveland fans, please don't scold me, I just expressed my true thoughts.
The only regret is that I don’t know if Wood will play tonight. Before the game, Stan Van Gundy said that Wood will definitely play. However, Wood has not played since the third game in Detroit and has hardly practiced with the team.
This is not a good thing for Orlando. I hope Wood can play without incident, otherwise the excitement of this game will be reduced a lot." Kenny Smith said.
The audience continued to enter the venue one after another, and Lindsay Lohan and Natalie Portman walked towards the auditorium holding their children respectively.
Charles Barkley saw them at a glance: "Everyone knows that Wood's inability to play will definitely have a big impact. Wood's family is not stable during this time. Lindsay Lohan's mother is really powerful.
Oh, who did I see? Lindsay Lohan, who recently grabbed the last shot, is holding Amy, and Natalie Portman next to her is holding Annie. The two little guys are so cute.
Lindsay Lohan was described as a perfect girlfriend by the Hollywood newspaper. Kenny, what do you think? I heard that Dina Lohan was hospitalized because of this."
"If it's just Dina Lohan's first time, then I think Lindsay is a bit too much as a daughter, but it's not her first time. This time I agree with Lindsay's approach. Even though it sounds a little unhuman."
Natalie Portman and Lindsay Lohan sat on the sidelines. For local Orlando fans, their status is also very high even when they are in love with each other.
Before the game, Stan Van Gundy repeatedly emphasized that Wood will play tonight. The injury fully recovered a few days ago and will not affect the team's game.
He also emphasized that although Lin Sen did not participate in the joint training, it would not have any impact on the team's tactics because Lin Sen was already familiar with these tactics.
For Doc Rivers, these words are just a reference.
It is a fact known throughout the United States that Lin Sen has indeed not participated in training recently and has been in his own home. Moreover, something happened at Lin Sen's home.
After comprehensive consideration, Doc Rivers decided to believe Stan Van Gundy's words.
"Tonight we will follow the training schedule of the past two days. You and Mark will start the game and defend. Your task is to pass the ball. Mark, your task is to defend and run. If you have the opportunity, don't hesitate to take action.
pp You must be facing a lot of defensive pressure today, so don’t work too hard on the defensive end to save energy for the fourth quarter.
kg, you too, just pay attention to the defense inside, Kendrick, be careful not to foul easily, you may let them score two points..." Doc Rivers said as he glanced at his players.
In the home team's locker room, Stan Van Gundy laughed: "Wood, don't rush to play in the first quarter, no matter how they arrange it. Ron, I hope to see you in Indiana today, but if it doesn't work, you can do it in Sacramento."
Ron Artest laughed, rolled up his sleeves, and showed off his strong muscles: "No problem!"
"Devin, today you and Chauncey start together. I need you to focus on Ray at your maximum speed. Chauncey, I think you know what you should do without me telling you.
Dakota and Dwight are facing a lot of pressure tonight, so pay attention to controlling fouls, and Dakota will support you offensively. The specific tactics will depend on Chauncey's arrangements."
The entire Water House Center was packed with fans, and players from both teams were standing in the tunnel preparing to play.
Although Lin Sen may not necessarily play tonight in the fans' minds, it still does not hinder Lin Sen's status in their hearts.
When Lin Sen ran out of the tunnel last, the cheers from the audience reached the highest decibel level.
"Listen to the cheers from the audience, Wood's status in Orlando is so high, almost as high as mine in Phoenix."
"Charles, can you stop bragging? Although you were a superstar back then and won the regular season MVP, I bet my underwear that you don't have this status.
Without Kevin's help, tsk tsk!" Kenny Smith said with a grin on his face.
"Fuck, Kenny, you don't understand."
"Of course I don't understand. I only know that Hakeem's status is higher than yours. I only know that I killed you on behalf of Houston. That's enough."
Just when Barkley showed his vicious look, Kenny Smith picked up the news: "Unfortunately, I will tell the wooden fans that Wood did not appear in the starting lineup tonight, and Devin took his place. This
Devin didn't start once this season and didn't play much.
Stan was a little surprised by this arrangement, but other positions remained unchanged.
The Celtics also made a lot of changes. Ray Allen, who had been one of the starting three, was replaced by Mark Barnes.
Could it be that Doug wants to play defense right from the start, but unfortunately Wood is not on the court." Kenny Smith said while looking at the small piece of paper in his hand.
The fans in front of the TV were also stunned. Lin Sen did not start the game.
The on-site director focused the camera on the Magic bench, where Lin Sen was sitting and chatting with Natalie Portman and Lindsay Lohan behind him.
Moreover, he was still well-dressed in his training clothes, and it seemed that he had no plans to appear on the field.
"It seems to be true. I don't know if he will play tonight. I hope Wood will be fine. If Wood has not recovered yet, I personally suggest not to play with injury.
Boston is not another team, and this is the conference finals of the playoffs. Playing at such intensity is not good for your health.
There are too many examples that prove that hard work can lead to big things, and Grant is the best." Barkley said seriously.
However, Stan Van Gundy was a little depressed because Ray Allen did not play. He focused on using Artest and Devin Brown or Billups to consume Pierce and Ray Allen, but Ray Allen did not
Appear.
This undoubtedly cost him half of his plan. Doc Rivers on the other side was slightly surprised that Lin Sen didn't play and didn't think much about it.
Following the referee's whistle, the starting lineups of both sides took the field.
Bavetta threw the ball into the air, Howard passed the ball to Billups, and the first game of the Eastern Conference finals that attracted worldwide attention completely kicked off.
Without Lin Sen, the Magic's arrangement before the game was that Billups would be in charge of the overall situation, and Billups would initiate any tactics.
The importance of Milicic and Artest will be infinitely magnified. Billups faced the defense and handed the ball to Artest who pulled over to catch the ball.
In the Magic, Artest's offensive role has been reduced too much, and he rarely takes the initiative to attack with the ball.
Except in chaotic situations, it is usually the third offensive option.
Pierce looked at Artest in front of him and had a different feeling, as if Artest had returned to the Indiana era. (To be continued...)
ps: Something happened today that delayed the update. I originally planned to update a big chapter. In order to keep the promise of updating, Xiao Ai can only post the two thousand words at the beginning of the big chapter. Let’s see if we can complete a big chapter of 10,000 words tomorrow! It’s true.
If not, give me a discount of six to seven thousand, hehe!
Thanks to the monthly ticket, my virginity was lost! This chapter is just about the beginning and I can’t tell much, and I might be scolded as unnutritious, so Xiao Ai shrank and didn’t dare to ask for the monthly ticket!
