legendary point guard

Chapter 49: The Confident Livingston

Lin Sen knows that it is irrational to let Cassel dribble calmly. As long as he is given space, he will become a victim. The last defense has proved this.

So Lin Sen pressed forward. Although Lin Sen was very thin, Cassel was not strong either.

Two guards weighing less than 90 kilograms were entangled at the three-point line, and Cassel was uncomfortable under Lin Sen's pressing.

In particular, he had to be careful of Lin Sen's hands. If he wasn't careful, he might knock the ball away with those hands.

Lin Sen himself knows that gambling for steals is not a good choice. Faced with an old monster like Cassel, if the gamble fails, it is likely that he will suffer. However, this does not prevent Lin Sen from constantly interfering with Cassel.

Dribbling rhythm.

Cassel finally chose to pass the ball, and Lin Sen breathed a sigh of relief.

After receiving the ball, Cuttino Mobley did not choose a personal attack when facing Jaric but passed the ball to Brand inside.

The first confrontation between two top power forwards, Elton Brand and Kevin Garnett, ended with Brand's turnaround shot.

Without Garnett having to explain, Lin Sen also knew that the next ball would be handed over to Garnett.

Garnett, who returned to the offensive end, faced Brand's defense. Although he was not of the same size, Garnett was better because of his height and long arms. In the end, Garnett sent the ball into the basket with a hook.

"Your defense was good just now!" Cassell continued to smash the gum and speak unclearly.

"It's not even close."

Cassel laughed when he heard Lin Sen's answer: "It's good that you know."

After hearing Cassel's words, Lin Sen felt angry and followed suit again.

However, this time Cassel did not let Lin Sen interfere like last time, but slowly dribbled the ball towards the baseline.

The Clippers fans at the scene kept cheering, obviously they all knew what Cassel wanted to do.

Cassell leaned against Lin Sen, but his thin back withstood Lin Sen's impact and harassment.

Lin Sen knew Cassel was planning to do this. In the videos he watched of Cassel, the thing that impressed him most deeply besides the terrifying mid-range was the low post singles.

He calmed his body and used his chest to carry Cassel. However, Cassel's strength was not great, but it forced Lin Sen to retreat little by little.

Lin Sen was not happy to be eaten by a 36-year-old veteran like this. He gritted his teeth and pushed Cassel with all his strength.

However, Cassel immediately turned over and took off. Lin Sen took off in a hurry, but was unable to do anything.

"ET! ET! ET!"

rang out uniformly at the Staples Center.

Lin Sen looked at the ball bouncing on the floor and felt a little depressed, even though he had seen Cassel defeat many defenses in this way in Cassel's video highlights.

Many of them are powerful players on the back line. Lin Sen really wants to ask Cassell how he came up with such a style of play.

If Andre Miller of the Denver Nuggets can still rely on his strong body to beat opponents in the low post, then Cassel Linson in front of him really connects him with post-up singles in the low post. He has no strength and no height.

No bounce.

"Don't think about it, you can ask him for advice when you have time." Garnett patted Lin Sen's butt.

At this moment, Lin Sen no longer cared about Garnett slapping him on the butt, and his mind was filled with the hope that he would continue to become stronger.

Returning to the offensive end, Lin Sen threw all other thoughts out of his mind. From this point of view, Lin Sen's adjustment ability is indeed good. This is also something that Devin Casey and Garnett admire Lin Sen.

Cassel looked at Lin Sen in front of him with interest. Lin Sen didn't look at all depressed at this moment, which surprised him.

"You seem to be in a good mood." Cassel said with a smile.

"It's okay, but I think it would be better if you were willing to teach me."

Cassel was a little surprised: "Are you sure?"

"certainly."

With the words, Lin Sen's dribbling rhythm became faster.

The change of pace allowed Cassel to increase his concentration again, but Cassel's defense was really bad in front of the speedy defender. All he could do was force the opponent inside and then rely on his teammates.

When he got rid of Cassel, Kaman was already standing in front of Lin Sen.

Looking at Chris Kaman with exaggerated hair, Lin Sen did not flinch, but directly faced him.

Chris Kaman raised his right hand high and stared at the ball in Lin Sen's hand.

Facing Kaman's block, Lin Sen used a lever to avoid Kaman's block and then picked the ball toward the basket with his left hand.

After scoring the goal, Lin Sen quickly returned to defense, secretly determined to defend Cassel's attack.

However, Cassel did not attack by himself but passed the ball to Maggette, and Maggette's shot hit the basket.

The game time passed minute by minute. When the time came to four minutes in the first quarter, Cassel used Kaman's screen to directly hit a jumper.

Not only did he score his tenth point in the quarter with this jump shot, it also helped the Clippers expand their lead to 8 points.

"Now let me tell you one thing, that is, 'Always believe in yourself!' This is one of my basketball philosophies." Cassel looked at the helpless Lin Sen and said with a smile.

Devin Casey looked at Lin Sen on the court and called a timeout. So far, Lin Sen's performance was as he imagined. He was beaten on the defensive end but performed well on the offensive end, but he hoped that Lin Sen could

Lin Sen glanced at Cassel, who was walking to the bench, and walked towards the sidelines. This was his fourth regular season game, and he experienced the feeling of being beaten two consecutive times.

"Don't think too much about Wood. Even though he is 36 years old, he is still the most underestimated guy in the league. His strength is worthy of any honor." Garnett put his hand on Linsen's shoulder.

"I can feel it, but fortunately I'm still young and I can do it as long as I work hard." Lin Sen looked at the arm that pushed away Garnett and said.

Garnett turned his head and glanced towards the sideline, the man who allowed him to break the embarrassment of not winning in the first round and become the regular season MVP.

"ET, take a rest, Sean, replace ET, and the rest of the game will be left to you." Mike Dunleavy said to Livingston.

"Sean, that rookie is hard to deal with. Put all your energy into it, otherwise you will just become a background." Cassell said without hesitation.

Livingston has long been accustomed to Cassel's style. He sat on the sidelines and watched the game for so long, making his own judgment in his mind.

Lin Sen mainly relies on breakthroughs and teammates' screens on the court, and all his goals are completed inside.

What he is best at is defending the opponent's breakthrough, and he is afraid of heavy-weight defenders. And that rookie is exactly the breakthrough type, and he believes that he can handle it.

Devin Casey did not replace Linson, which made Mike James angry but could only hold it in his heart, and Ricky Davis replaced Jaric.

"Watch his three-pointer!" Cassell shouted to Livingston as he walked onto the court.

But Livingston didn't take it to heart. He believed in his height and defense.

Watching Lin Sen dribble past half-court, Livingston stayed one step inside the three-point line.

Lin Sen looked at Livingston's position choice with some surprise. Even though Livingston was nearly ten centimeters taller than him, Lin Sen still couldn't believe this position.

"Force it, force it!" Cassel, the alien on the court, shouted at Livingston.

Mike Dunleavy has long been accustomed to it. He is very much looking forward to Cassel becoming the team's coach after retiring. He believes Cassel can become a good coach. What Cassel wants to say at this moment is exactly what he wants to say.

Listening to Cassel's voice, Livingston moved his steps and stood on the three-point line. His open arms made his defensive area look very large, but despite this, there was still almost half a gap between him and Lin Sen.

meters distance.

"You might consider shooting."

Lin Sen looked at Livingston: "Consider?"

"Of course! Provided you are not afraid of being blocked," Livingston said coolly.
