legendary point guard
Chapter 85 Careful Van Gundy [1/3]
"Raff, keep an eye on him, keep an eye on him, don't let him find opportunities at will." Jeff Van Gundy held the rolled up note in his left hand and waved it towards the court with his right hand.
Alston nodded and walked to the baseline to catch the ball.
"Lin Sen's three-point shooting ability is really not exaggerated. Although Tracy McGrady was a little slow in covering up the defense just now, it did not have any impact on Lin Sen's shot." Yu Jiaru said.
"It takes a lot of practice to be accurate in three-point shooting," Zhang Weiping added.
Taking Yao Ming's serve, Alston quickly advanced forward.
Lin Sen is still waiting for Alston's arrival. His defensive task in this game is mainly to defend Alston. However, Lin Sen studied the Rockets video and found that Yao Ming's bad habit of holding the ball too low has not been completely changed.
Holding the ball like this is undoubtedly fatal for the big man, and it is also an excellent opportunity for Lin Sen to take advantage of.
Madsen is responsible for defending Yao Ming, while Garnett is mainly responsible for assisting in defense.
Madsen and Yao Ming fought fiercely, but they still couldn't push away the taller and heavier Yao Ming.
Alston directly handed the ball to Yao Ming, who hit the first goal.
While Yao Ming was catching the ball with one hand, his butt bumped against Madsen behind him.
Although Madsen was well prepared, Madsen still took half a step back after Yao Ming's hip attack.
Lin Sen, who was close to the three-point line, kept looking at Yao Ming's position inside from the corner of his eyes.
When Yao Ming received the ball into his waist and abdomen, Lin Sen immediately rushed forward.
However, what Lin Sen didn't expect was that Yao Ming didn't give Madsen a chance to adjust. He hit Madsen twice again and completely lost the initiative.
Yao Ming immediately turned around and then withdrew his left foot.
Before Lin Sen, who was about to rush into the paint, had time, he saw a guy as big as Yao Ming quickly complete a step-back jump in front of Madsen.
Madsen jumped up when he saw Yao Ming grabbing the ball with both hands and shooting. He knew that it was unrealistic for him to block Yao Ming, so he tried his best to block Yao Ming's sight.
But the huge height difference only made him sigh when looking at the ball, and Garnett, who came up from the other side to defend, also slapped his hand in the air.
Toyota Center burst into cheers of "YAO! YAO! YAO!"
After Yao Ming landed, he shook his fist in celebration and ran to the backcourt.
"Dayao's offense was very good. He completed his first offense with a step-back jumper. Today, both the Yao and Mai combination scored their first shot. This is a good sign." Zhang Weiping said with a smile.
Lin Sen dribbled the ball past halftime and handed the ball to Garnett. Once again, Garnett faced Hayes' defense and did not choose to hit hard. Instead, he chose to turn his back and shoot.
This time Garnett successfully hit his first goal, but it still left Lin Sen in doubt.
Linsen was impressed by Hayes' defense of 1.98, and he decided to study Hayes' defense carefully.
"Garnett scored a goal, and Hayes did a good job in defense, but Garnett's height is too obvious, and it is impossible for Hayes to defend such a shot." Yu Jia commented.
During the transition between offense and defense, the Rockets missed the first ball of the game, but Hayes suddenly jumped up and snatched Garnett's rebound.
Linsen, who was preparing to receive the pass, did not expect that Hayes would beat Garnett to get the offensive rebound without taking advantage.
"Hayes, offensive rebound." Before Zhang Weiping could finish his words, a figure rushed into the paint.
Snapped!
Hayes felt his hands suddenly become empty, and then he saw a man with the same skin color as Yao Ming grab the ball.
"It's so fast!"
This is the most real feeling that many fans on the other side of the ocean have when they see this moment.
When Hayes reacted, Lin Sen had already dribbled the ball to the free throw line.
Alstom quickly blocked Linsen.
Facing Alston's positional defense, Lin Sen pulled the ball and turned towards Alston when he was still almost half a body away from Alston.
After passing Alston's Linsen, we ushered in a smooth road.
Facing the boos from Toyota Center and the attention of fans across the ocean, Lin Sen struck through the Houston night sky like a bolt of lightning.
"Lin Sen's speed is so fast. I've heard about how fast he is before, but now I have a clearer feeling after watching it." Yu Jia couldn't help but say.
"Is this still the speed of a basketball player? A top 100-meter athlete."
Many Chinese fans sighed like this.
Lin Sen passed the three-point line, took off one step outside the three-second zone, and slammed the ball into the basket with his right hand.
The game continued. The Rockets used the Yao-Mai combination as the main two points, while the Timberwolves used Lin Sen and Garnett as the main two points, both inside and outside.
But the current Lin Sen is far from comparable to Tracy McGrady, especially Tracy McGrady tonight.
Hassell's defense worked hard but in vain. The only thing he could do was to hope that Tracy McGrady would miss the shot.
However, Linsen is also in good form, which makes Jeff Van Gundy, who has always emphasized defense, very dissatisfied.
Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
Lin Sen dribbled the ball in an orderly manner, his eyes constantly scanning Alston's defense.
The speed suddenly increased, and the direction suddenly changed after a sprint.
Alston quickly changed his body's center of gravity, turned around and slid.
However, he was quickly blocked by a body.
"Garnett and Lin Sen's pick-and-roll cooperation." Yu Jia shouted loudly.
Hayes immediately defended Lin Sen, but his pace was a little slower. When he was about to withstand Lin Sen, Lin Sen had already rushed over.
However, Hayes' head still made Lin Sen stagger. Lin Sen didn't have time to sigh at how powerful Hayes was and rushed towards the basket.
Waiting under the basket is Yao Ming, who is 2.26. Yao Ming with his arms raised is like an insurmountable barrier.
When Lin Sen jumped, Yao Ming barely danced.
This was the first time Lin Sen faced Yao Ming's defense. When Lin Sen wanted to take action, Yao Ming's big hand had already blocked it.
In order to avoid Yao Ming's block, he hurriedly passed the ball to Madsen on the other side.
But Madsen didn't expect Lin Sen to pass the ball, and was focused on the basket preparing to grab possible offensive rebounds.
Madsen failed to react and was hit by the ball on his hand and bounced out of bounds.
"This is my problem." Lin Sen said to Madsen.
"It doesn't matter! I'm not paying attention either," Madsen said with a smile.
Lin Sen turned around and glanced at Yao Ming before quickly running upfield, replaying the breakthrough just now in his mind.
"It would have been better if it was faster, but I still underestimated Yao Ming's strength." Lin Sen muttered.
What Linsen didn't expect was that when he advanced to halftime with the ball in his next attack, the person standing in front of him was not Alston but Shane Battier.
Battier is a recognized defensive expert in the league. His defense does not rely on his body but on his experience and basketball intelligence. Even famous players will perform poorly because of Battier's defense, let alone Lin Sen.
"Van Gundy is really careful, he actually asked Battier to defend Lin Sen." Zhang Weiping said with a smile.
"This also shows that he recognizes and values Lin Sen." Yu Jia's words made the fans in front of the TV feel recognized.
But Devin Casey on the sidelines frowned, he was a little worried about Linsen's next performance.
