Chapter 87: Maddie [3/3]
"But they refused!"
"This alliance is a business alliance, and no one will refuse benefits." Old Nelson's answer still made Mullin a little foggy, and Old Nelson turned off the TV with a smile.
The camera pans back to Houston, and the game continues.
Mike James may have played extra hard because he faced his old club and the Rockets offered him a contract in the offseason.
Devin Casey was very happy to see Mike James on the court, at least the team's second team because Mike James was not too downside tonight.
And the Rockets' big expectation is that Bunch Wells is in average shape, and although the Timberwolves' defense can't stop him, his hand is terrible.
In the fifth minute of the second quarter, Devin Casey brought Linson and Garnett onto the court, while the Rockets brought on Maddy and Yao Ming.
Hassel stared cautiously at Maddie in front of him.
Maddy's sleepy eyes were still the same, and the one-handed ball in his right hand rang out with cheers in the Toyota Center behind him.
Lin Sen, who is not far away, also has to admit that almost everyone can do one-handed grabbing the ball in the NBA, but only Maddie's one-handed grabbing can make everyone like it.
Indescribably chic and handsome, just when Lin Sen was about to go up to cover the defense, Maddie tentatively tapped forward with his right foot.
Unmoved, Hassell waited for Maddie's real offensive move.
But soon Hassell noticed that Maddie was leaning on him to take the first step, and by the time Hassell reacted, Maddie had already jumped out.
Linson immediately dropped Hyde and rushed up to try to make up the defense, but Maddie's first move was too quick.
In the next second, Maddie stopped and jumped and sent the ball out.
Swish!
A crisp sound of wiping the net followed.
Lin Sen knows that his first step is also fast, but his speed relies more on his own speed, while Maddie's speed is not as fast as him, but his stride is large enough, combined with speed, so he will basically be unable to chase after the first step.
"Maddy really feels good today, easy pull-up jump shot, the Timberwolves are really nobody, Hassel's height is a hard injury, not to mention that a player of Maddy's level is not easy to use once the top defender is in shape." Zhang Weiping said with a smile.
Yu Jia on the side nodded: "Director Zhang is right, once a player like Maddy comes, no one will be in a good state, if the Timberwolves want to drag the game down, they still have to strengthen their offense first, and now that Battier is not on the court, Lin Sen's performance may be better." ”
Battier was still on the bench, which was an opportunity for Linson, but Linson was still a little disappointed in his heart, and he was looking forward to playing against Battier, even though it looked more like a pleading.
Looking at Hyde in front of him, he and Hyde had not fought each other in college, but he had also heard the name of the Three Musketeers of the University.
"Rookie, you can be rated as the No. 1 guard last year, and there is no one in the NCAA after we are gone?" Luther Hyde said jokingly.
"Maybe you can." Lin Sen's words surprised Hyde a little, and he thought that Lin Sen had relented.
"When dreaming!"
Lin Sen's next sentence made Hyde understand that this rookie is by no means a good bird: "Rookie, don't think that you can be arrogant with that guy from Chris." As he spoke, he stepped forward and slammed his body into Lin Sen.
Pull the ball along, and Hyde's impact is defused.
"You don't have a fat man to take care of you now!" Lin Sen inadvertently pulled away a little.
"Of course you can ask for help from TMAC or Yao, and immature people should get help from adults, and they may be able to help you."
As soon as Lin Sen's words fell, the whole person slapped the ball violently, and his body bowed and rushed to the right side of Hyde.
Hyde immediately subconsciously moved his feet to defend.
However, Linson pulled the ball and retreated to the three-point line with a step-back step, and when Hyde tried to pounce back, Linson was already jumping in front of him.
Glancing at Hyde, Linson watched as the basket tossed the ball out.
The ball arced through the air and slid into the basket.
"You're my lucky star, but Jeff won't let you continue to be my lucky star." After Lin Sen finished speaking, he turned around and ran to the backcourt, as Lin Sen said, Van Gundy waved at Maddie, Maddy nodded and ran quickly to the frontcourt.
"Hyde is about the same height as Linson, a little shorter, but his defense is far inferior to Battier, like I just said, without Battier the Rockets need to work harder to defend Linson." Yu Jia said.
Lin Sen didn't expect Maddie to come directly to his side after halftime, although Maddie's strength is far from comparable to him at present.
But seeing that Maddie took the initiative to find him, Lin Sen's unwillingness to admit defeat also came, and he rejected Hassel's idea of coming up to defend, and Lin Sen wanted to come by himself.
"Maddie wants to attack Linsen, Linsen also accepts, it's not easy, look at the height of the two, Maddy's shooting will be easier, and Linsen's defense is also very average." Zhang Weiping was a little puzzled by Lin Sen's plan.
Hyde, who had dribbled the ball past half court, originally thought about hitting back at Linson, but when he saw Maddie sticking to Linson, he knew that his idea of wanting to fight back was shattered, and he immediately passed the ball over.
Maddie leans sideways against Linson and catches the ball with her right hand.
With the ball behind him with his right hand, Lin Sen didn't have the heart to appreciate Maddie's one-handed ball, and his arms were spread out and his chest was against Maddie.
Boom!
Maddie bumped on the left side of her body and started dribbling.
Under Maddie's impact, Linson took a small step back, but quickly pressed again.
Maddie hit again, and Lin Sen, who had been prepared, stiffened up, and just when Lin Sen was secretly glad that he resisted, the pressure in his chest suddenly disappeared.
"Damn it!"
Maddie jumped up in front of him with a straight step.
As a player, he naturally likes to watch the offensive highlights of various players, and he knows Maddy's pull-up jumper very well.
With both feet on the ground, Linson immediately jumped to his feet, stretching his arms as long as he could to interfere with Maddie's shot.
But it was still a beat slower, and Linsen's palm was still stretched out in front of Maddie's eyes, and Maddie had already thrown the ball.
Lin Sen watched the basketball fly over his head, and could only hope that Maddie would not feel good this time.
"Huh!"
A crisp sound of wiping the net sounded, and Lin Sen smiled helplessly.
Maddie in front of him didn't make any celebratory moves, and ran straight to the backfield amid the cheers of the Toyota Center.
"Pull-up jumpers, Linson defends hard, but his height and experience are still lacking, and it's not easy for a player of Maddy's level to defend." Yu Jia said with a smile.
Linson took Griffin's serve and immediately pushed forward.
Just past the center circle, he noticed that it was not Hyde who was waiting for him at a step inside the three-point line, but Maddie, who had just buked him.
Maddy was a top defensive player during the Raptors, but when it came to the Magic period, Maddy, who had to take care of offense, slowly dropped his defensive skills, but the defense was still not to be underestimated.
Lin Sen slowly approached with the ball, and Maddie's eyes seemed to open a little but quickly returned to their original state.
