legendary point guard

"You actually used small tricks!" Vujacic said through gritted teeth. Lin Sen's elbow just now made him gasp in pain.

"Did I?" Lin Sen looked at Vujacic with an innocent face and a confused expression, "I apologize if I bump into you by accident! But I probably didn't. Did you remember it wrong?"

After saying that, Lin Sen ignored Vujacic and ran directly to the backcourt.

The five-point lead was not big, but it made the Lakers unable to rest assured. Phil Jackson could not wait to call a timeout at this moment.

Although calling a timeout at this moment can allow Pietrus to play early and thus contain Lin Sen, once he is replaced at this moment, he will undoubtedly be put in a fearful position, which can easily affect the team's morale.

But when Phil Jackson looked at the lineup on the court, he still felt that he shouldn't have called a timeout immediately.

Because the offensive ability of this lineup on the field at the moment is really bad, almost no one has the ability to attack independently.

Stephen Blake dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Linsen did not defend but handed Blake to Sam Cassel.

Vujacic looked at Lin Sen who was not far in front of him. He would never forget the scene where Lin Sen elbowed him just now.

Looking at Blake dribbling, Vujacic raised his right hand high, signaling Blake to pass the ball to him.

"Sasha asked. Is he telling everyone that he looks down on Wood's defensive ability?" Steve Kerr laughed.

"Wood's defense is not that bad, but the Los Angeles Lakers really have no one who can attack at the moment. I am looking forward to what he will gain from his confident performance." Mark Jackson laughed.

Reggie Miller looked at the two of them: "Steve, didn't you find something in common? In fact, Sasha's role in Los Angeles is very similar to your original role under Phil."

In the commentary box, three people were discussing the roles of Vujacic and Steve Kerr under Phil Jackson. Steve Black passed the ball over.

Lin Sen did not rush to steal the ball. Although Vujacic was not fast.

Watching Vujacic catch the ball steadily, Lin Sen was very interested in what kind of offensive method Vujacic would use to attack.

"Are you very confident in your own offense?" Lin Sen raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Vujacic easily.

"Hmph!" Vujacic snorted coldly, instead of rushing to attack, he made a triple threat move.

"Looking forward to your attack!" Lin Sen lowered his center of gravity after finishing speaking.

However, Lin Sen did not neglect his defense, but it seemed that his defense had quite a few flaws.

Vujacic, this handsome European guy, although his personal offense is not very good, but it is not impossible.

Soon he discovered Linsen's shortcomings on the defensive end: "Just like what the scout report said, bad defense!" Vujacic thought.

Thinking of doing it, Vujacic shot the ball without any delay.

The speed was not very fast, but his whole body was thrown towards Lin Sen.

Using his body to block Linsen's defense, Vujacic's idea is very good.

He was looking forward to the physical collision with Lin Sen. As long as there was a collision, he would have absolute confidence to knock Lin Sen away and get a good shooting position.

However, he did not get the collision with Lin Sen. The corner of his eye told him that Lin Sen actually avoided his collision.

"Coward!" Vujacic snorted and glanced at the Magic insider.

In fact, Vujacic hasn't read a scouting report for a long time. The last time he watched Lin Sen's scouting report very carefully was last year.

"Sasha threw off Wood's defense?" Steve Kerr shouted in a questioning tone.

"Wood, this is not a defensive failure but a trap!" Reggie Miller shouted loudly. Linsen, who was originally giving way, stepped back and then slid to the left. He passed directly in front of Vujacic.

A quick transition from side to side.

When Vujacic was thinking about whether to take off, Lin Sen's right hand went straight towards the ball that bounced off the floor.

When the ball was less than 20 centimeters away from Vujacic's palm, Lin Sen's hands hooked the ball like lightning.

Snapped!

The sound was not loud, but Vujacic immediately realized something was wrong.

"Wood, steal the ball, Wood's signature steal from behind! Poor Sasha!"

In Mark Jackson's voice, Lin Sen completed his identity change in an instant.

Phil Jackson on the sidelines motioned to his assistant that Pietrus should be ready to play at any time.

"F...uck!" Vujacic cursed and turned around immediately, but when he turned around, Lin Sen was already running towards the frontcourt.

Facing the unguarded basket, Lin Sen ignored the readers' expectations and chose the most common and energy-saving way to score - a little man's layup.

"I guarantee that many people will be scolding Wood for being so pitiful. In fact, choosing the least labor-intensive scoring method is the best way.

I have a feeling Wood will play the entire fourth quarter, Mark, Stephen, do you believe it?" Reggie Miller turned around and asked.

Just as Vujacic was about to run forward, the referee blew the whistle.

"Oh, Phil can't wait any longer. Only 39 seconds have passed since the start of the fourth quarter.

But he still chose to use up a precious short pause opportunity to make substitution adjustments." Mark Jackson looked to the sidelines, where Pietrus and Odom were standing on the sidelines.

Radmanovic and Luke Walton walked to the sidelines a little depressed. They had to accept the coach's arrangement, even though they had just come on the field in the fourth quarter and had not even touched the ball once.

Although the presence of Odom and Pietrus helped the Lakers a lot, they could not help the Lakers chase points, nor could they help the Lakers catch up with the point difference.

Lin Sen, on the other hand, reduced his personal offense and strengthened his passing.

However, on the defensive end, Lin Sen took good care of Vujacic. Vujacic regretted the little move he made to Lin Sen.

In less than four minutes, he was so offended by Lin Sen's little actions that he almost cried.

The referee didn't see it, but that doesn't mean Kobe didn't see it at all, but the excessive exertion of his physical energy in the first three quarters forced him to sit off the court and rest for a while.

By the fifth minute of the fourth quarter, the Lakers trailed the Magic by 8 points, and were only one goal away from a double-digit deficit.

Vujacic finally got an open shot opportunity, but Lin Sen bypassed the cover and Turiaf flew directly out of bounds.

The entire center of the water house burst into screams as Lin Sen blocked the shot. Vujacic looked to the sidelines with a gloomy expression. Kobe had already stood up.

Although he often plays with Kobe and uses Kobe's containment to get good shooting positions, tonight he knew how poorly he performed under Lin Sen's care.

Just as he thought, Phil Jackson replaced Vujacic with Kobe Bryant. The two sides replaced the entire main lineup with less than seven minutes left in the fourth quarter. At this time, the Lakers trailed the Magic by eight points.

.

"You finally played, I thought you needed more rest!" Lin Sen said with a smile.

"What do you think? I'm not you!"

Kobe Bryant pushed Lin Sen, and Lin Sen raised his arms and still stood beside Kobe Bryant.

"Bryant, a man should last. You should learn from me. I didn't take a five-minute break!"

Odom, who was standing not far from Lin Sen and Kobe Bryant, almost laughed out loud at Lin Sen's tone, while Kobe Bryant had a cold look on his face and did not reply. (To be continued...)
