legendary point guard

Chris Bosh's head was pounding. He couldn't believe that he was dunked by a rookie.

He stared blankly at Lin Sen, who jumped from the basket and landed not far in front of him.

"wood! wood! wood!"

Under the cheers of the audience, Lin Sen opened his arms and enjoyed this moment that belonged to him.

Minnesota fans looked at Lin Sen under the basket and once again found the person they needed. They seemed to see a bright future for the Timberwolves.

Sam Mitchell couldn't help but look at the Italian Bargnani sitting on the bench, and his whole mind went back to that night in New York more than four months ago.

well!

Sam Mitchell couldn't help but sigh. Time can't be repeated. The past is the past.

What he can hope for is that Bargnani can grow to the height that the team expects. He looked at Lin Sen running towards the backcourt with some reluctance in his eyes.

Sam Mitchell requested a timeout. The 22-point difference was not completely impossible to reverse, but the possibility was too small.

Moreover, the Timberwolves were in particularly good form tonight, with Kevin Garnett playing a super dominant performance, while Chris Bosh, whom he relied on, was obviously in low morale.

So Sam Mitchell simply called a timeout, preparing to replace the main players and give up the game completely.

When Devin Casey saw Sam Mitchell call a timeout, he knew the Raptors were giving up the game.

"KG, Wood, you two are off the court and have a rest." Devin Casey was naturally in a good mood after winning another game.

In the end, Target Center fans witnessed the Timberwolves' big victory at their home court. The Toronto Raptors, who were originally optimistic before the game, ended up suffering a 26-point defeat on the road.

The Target Center Arena has become a sea of ​​joy.

Kevin Garnett, who played only 33 minutes in the game, scored a season-high 36 points and also contributed 18 rebounds, 4 blocks, 5 assists and 3 steals.

Chris Bosh, who was favored before the game, only made 4 of 15 shots and scored a measly 10 points. Bosh's rebound data of 2.13 was only a pitiful 3 rebounds. As a rookie guard, Lin Sen grabbed 10 points in the game.

A career-high 7 rebounds.

In this big victory, Lin Sen only took 8 shots and made 5 of them, scoring 12 points, setting a new low in his career for points, shots, and hits in a single game.

But everyone can see how important Linsen is to the Timberwolves. His 16 assists are the most direct proof. His cooperation with Garnett completely made the Raptors feel desperate.

Twenty minutes later, the post-match press conference was held.

Garnett, Devin Casey, Sam Mitchell and Chris Bosh appeared at the press conference.

"Sam, can you talk about tonight's game?" A white reporter stood up.

"We have absolutely nothing to do against them. This is the reality. KG played so well tonight. He has been so good for eleven years, and even more so tonight." Sam Mitchell looked helplessly at the reporters in the audience.

said.

"I'm a reporter from "ESPN", Sam, can you talk about Wood? Four months ago you insisted on choosing Andrea, but at the beginning of the new season, do you think your decision was the right one?"

Sam Mitchell had a headache when he saw the reporters standing up. People have been asking this question to him since the beginning of the new season. No matter how regretful he felt in his heart, he couldn't show it.

"No, we don't regret it. Although Andrea is not as outstanding as Wood, his performance is not bad at all. He is currently on the bench because of our tactical needs, but he has not lost his fighting spirit because of this.

As long as he plays, he can contribute what we need. And he is still young, so we believe he will have a bright future." Sam Mitchell said with a smile.

"KG, can you talk about your performance tonight? Your performance tonight was dominant."

Garnett smiled, his goatee particularly conspicuous: "Yes, my performance is not bad, but this is the result of our joint efforts. Without Devin's tactical arrangement and the cooperation of my teammates, we would not have been able to play such a game.

.”

"Devin, can you tell me what you think of Wood Lin? What do you think of his performance tonight?"

"I think everyone of us has seen his performance. There is no doubt that he is excellent. However, he is still young and the new season has just begun. His current outstanding performance may not necessarily last forever. I hope everyone

Looking at his performance rationally, whether it is good or bad, we should look at it optimistically, as Sam said, they are still young." Devin Casey said with a smile.

The biggest contributor to this game is undoubtedly Kevin Garnett, but Lin Sen's 16 assists are equally eye-catching, allowing Lin Sen to continue to rank first in the assist list in the new season.

As a rookie who has only played six games, Lin Sen has already scored 15+ assists in three games. He only failed to reach double figures in assists in a single game against the Washington Wizards.

Although Lin Sen's organizational skills are still criticized by many people, he and Garnett complement each other perfectly.

Those exaggerated high throws, unexpected back passes, and imaginative crotch moves would probably have turned into mistakes if it weren't for Garnett, but now they have basically turned into assists.

The eye-catching assist data once again brought Lin Sen to the public, making people realize that the rookie had good offensive ability and could also provide so many assists to revitalize the team.

In six games, he contributed double-doubles in five games.

As a rookie, he ranked first in the assists list and also ranked first in the steals list with nearly 4 steals per game.

In six games, the shooting percentage reached 54.5%, 17 three-pointers were hit, and the three-point shooting percentage was as high as 47%.

The buzzer beater against the Washington Wizards, the key ball and key steal against the Los Angeles Clippers proved to everyone that he has a big heart.

Although this is just the beginning of the new season, such data does not represent the entire season, but it makes many people feel that rookie Wood Lin's future will be bright as expected.

ESPN even exaggeratedly placed the title of "Future No. 1 Point Guard" on Lin Sen, which suddenly pushed Lin Sen to the forefront.

Lin Sen, who was already the most famous among the new rookies, once again had a surge in popularity due to the praise of some media.

However, Devin Casey does not want to see Linsen being so magnified in front of the media, because that will make opponents pay more attention to it. For the current Timberwolves, the most important thing is the inside and outside combination of Linsen and Garnett.

As a rookie, Lin Sen still has various shortcomings. Once he is put under the microscope, he is destined to be strictly guarded by various teams.

If Lin Sen's performance is restricted, it will directly affect the performance of the Timberwolves.

Once Lin Sen performs poorly, criticism from the media will follow.

Although Lin Sen's usual performance is very mature, if he does not perform well in the criticism, then more criticism will come. Devin Casey is very worried that Lin Sen will completely lose himself in such a vicious circle.

.

And it just so happened that the Timberwolves' seventh game of the new season was against the Golden State Warriors led by Baron Davis, who had suffered a lot for Lin Sen in the preseason. This made Devin Casey's worries even more serious.
