Chapter 393: Jordan's Law and Breaking Records
"Wood, who just came on the court, just got an assist, and now he's back on the defensive end to show his scheming defense again, and scheming is here to be a compliment to Wood's defensive wisdom!"
Bill. Wharton spoke highly of Linson's break, but it was clearly upset for DeLong, who had already left him behind when he controlled his weight and stood firm.
WOOD!
MVP!
WOOD!
MVP!
WOOD!
MVP!
In the cheers of the audience, Lin Sen rode the dust and quickly dropped the middle line behind him, but to the disappointment of Magic fans, Lin Sen did not stage a wonderful dunk, but ended the break with a light pick.
It's not that Lin Sen is unwilling, but he has a lot of defensive pressure to face in tonight's game, and a dunk can boost morale but the consumption of physical energy is far greater than a layup, so Lin Sen just chose to go to the basket to end this fast break.
"Utah, who just trailed by only three points, fell behind by 7 points again in an instant, this is Wood's fourth steal tonight, this is the style of last season's steal king, 7 points, 8 assists, 4 steals and 3 rebounds, Bill, what words do you say I should use? Comprehensive? It always feels too simple. ”
"Well, in fact, I don't know, I only know that Wood's data is comprehensive is something that all shijie knows, I remember not long ago someone said that Wood's data is fully stable to the point of numbness, 27 points, 9 assists, 4 rebounds, 3 steals per game, and occasionally a block, just like a card-in-time employee who has no ambition clocks in and goes to work every day." Bill. Wharton said with a smile.
"Sounding stable is also a fault. But you can't blame Wood, after all, Orlando has been a lot stronger this season, and most of them don't need Wood to step up and carry the team on their shoulders and move forward. That's why it looks so stable. For example, the scoring show against Boston is very haode. Hoffman continued, "Of course, if I had to choose, I would still choose last season's Magic game." ”
Bill. Wharton nodded, "Me too, because then you can always see that super big heart Wood." ”
In the chat of the commentary seat, Delong, who had just been stolen by Linsen, broke through Linsen's defense and then stepped back to complete the goal.
"Deron gave Wood a riposte, and Delong's Liliang still has a clear advantage, even if Wood's Liliang this season is obviously much stronger than last season."
"No way, Delong's body is innate. Looking at his size, I don't think all the female fans would want Wood to be like DeLong, and I have no doubt how sad they would be if Wood became like that. Hoffman quipped.
"Ron takes Wood's ball, three-point shot!" Bill. Wharton said, looking at the field.
When Artest made a move, Kirilenko, who returned to the defense, was very fast, and when he saw Artest shoot, Linson felt that the ball was likely not to score.
As Linson judged, Artest's three-pointer deflected off the basket and bounced to the left side of the basket, and the Turk jumped up while Linson rushed over like a hound that saw its prey.
Oku had just won the defensive rebound and hadn't reacted yet, and Lin Sen, the hound who had been eyeing him for a long time, slapped between Oku's hands.
It was Wood again, and Wood poked out Menette's unheated ball, and he added a turnover to Menette. Wood looked hungry tonight, hungry for the ball all the time. Hoffman said as he looked at Linson, who was pulling out of the three-point line to reorganize the offense.
"Protect the ball. Pay attention to protect the ball, don't let him get his way, lift up, lift up! "Jerry. Sloane shouted at the field.
"Jerry is reminding Menette to protect the ball, and it really should be, the small guys can't get the rebounds but they focus on the big guys.
The best way to get a rebound is to hold it above your head rather than take it down, like Menette who gave Wood the opportunity to steal the ball because he put it down, something that many big men forget on the court. ”
"Bill, you're right, this is something that the current center in the league often forgets, and the same is true of Houston's Yao, especially when it comes to a guard like Wood who has an extremely quick sense of stealing."
Milicic pulled to the free-throw line and Linson gave the ball over.
Delon, who defended Linsen, did not relax in any way because Linsen was stuck in place without the ball, he knew Linsen very well and could deliver the fatal blow at any time.
Yikes!
There was a violent friction sound between the legendary second generation and the floor under Lin Sen's feet, and the whole person turned sideways, and Delong immediately turned around to follow.
Just as Delong turned to chase after him, Lin Sen's body suddenly dropped his center of gravity, and instantly turned on the spot and ran towards the top of the arc.
"Damn it!" Delon muttered and immediately turned around.
Milicic passed the ball directly to Linson, who ran over, and pulled towards the three-point line.
Boom!
Delon, who was chasing after the defense, was directly blocked by Milicic and followed Carlos, who was defending Milicic. Boozer immediately threw away Milicic and headed for Linson.
"Darko covers, Carlos switches to make up the defense, oh, Wood easily picks up Carlos and goes straight inside!"
In Hoffman's voice, Linsen went straight to the inside, and Oku hesitated and chose to interfere with Linsen.
Seeing that Okulinson, who pounced on him, threw the ball directly, Howard on the other side jumped up like a rocket, and directly pressed the ball passed by Linson into the basket with both hands.
"It was another direct aerial relay for Wood and Dwight, Dwight had 16 points with five minutes left in the half, and Wood improved his assist stats to nine, and Wood had reached his goal of assists as usual." Bill. Wharton said with a smile.
The game continued, and with 10 seconds left in the first half, the Utah Jazz hit a three-pointer from Oku, who pulled out from beyond the three-point line.
Milicic shrugged helplessly, he had just followed up well but was still blocked.
At this point, Oku had plenty of time to shoot, and with Oku's three-point shot, the Utah Jazz chased the deficit back to within five points.
The Magic couldn't finish the offense in ten seconds, and Lin Sen smashed the frame with a whistle shot under Kirilenko's block. At halftime, the Magic led the Utah Jazz by four points, 59-55.
"The first half is over. Menette hit his third three-pointer of the first half. Today he had a good hand and caused huge problems for Orlando's defense, Darko and Dwight followed up with a little bit of opportunity if they were not in time, and if it weren't for these three three-pointers, Utah would have fallen behind by a large margin. ”
"That's true, if it weren't for him, Wood's terrifying play on the defensive end today would have helped Orlando open up the point gap, look at Wood's steal statistics of 7 steals in the half, and the whole Utah was scared.
That's just one steal short of the NBA's all-time halftime steal record, and the seven steals are just one short of his personal steal record. With Wood's form today, he has a good chance of setting a personal single-game steal record and a Magic steal record. ”
"Maybe Wood can complete a triple-double of points, assists and steals today, and it is very likely, look at his statistics in the first half with only 6 shots to get 7 points, 13 assists and 7 steals, and the difference between the two sides is not large, which also creates the possibility for Wood to get a steal double-double, maybe he can set a new steal record in the NBA, of course, it is not easy." Bill. Wharton said with a smile.
Hoffman nodded: "Who knows, maybe Wood can't get a steal in the second half, or maybe the second half will continue to play like the first half, and Wood also grabbed 4 rebounds in the first half." The numbers are impeccable. ”
"Protect the ball and don't expose it easily. Do you want that guy to make a horrible record on you? Andre in the second half you were responsible for defending him. "Jerry. Sloan looked up at his teammates, "In the second half, everyone is defending their own people and cutting off their receiving lanes at all times, don't stand behind them, I want you to stand on top of their receiving lines, everyone has to defend like this, even if it's just for Wood. That guy Lin scored 40 points alone, and I just need you to guard against the others. ”
After a 20-minute break, the players returned to the pitch from the dressing room.
The Utah Jazz were the first to attack in the second half, and the first offense was their signature pick-and-roll coordination.
Carlos. Boozer cut to Delon's split and sent the ball to the basket to open the second half for the Jazz, and the gap between the two sides narrowed further to just two points.
"Oh, the Utah defense has changed, AK47 is in front of Wood, and the rest of the Jazz defense is not sticking to the Magic guys but blocking their receiving lanes." Hoffman said as he watched the changes on the field.
Linson also noticed a change in the Jazz defense, which made it difficult for Linson to easily find teammates who received the ball.
The Magic's successive runs failed to shake off the Jazz's defense, and Linson simply motioned for his teammates to pull away.
"Wood can't find a pass opportunity for Haode, it looks like Wood is going to play alone, but Andre's defensive ability is not something that ordinary people can break through, especially since he is almost 15 centimeters taller than Wood, and his height and arm length give Wood a lot of pressure." Bill. Wharton said, looking at the field.
As noted by Bill. As Wharton said, in the face of Kirilenko's defense, Lin Sen did not find a chance to haode, Zuihou finally shook off the space to shoot, and Kirilenko, who was shaken away by him at the moment of the shot, actually relied on his long arms and height to pounce in front of him.
Under the interference, Linsen's big two-point ball smashed out of the basket. Brewer protected the defensive rebound.
This was the case for the next three minutes, with the Jazz letting Linson attack and not letting anyone else get involved, and Linson's desire for an easy single Kirilenko was unrealistic, even though Linsen scored five points against Kirilenko's defense.
"Now it's not a record-breaking for Wood but how to deal with the current situation, Utah will play Detroit against Michael. Jordan's set was used on Wood, and of course the defensive moves are not as big as they were back then. "Bill. Wharton looked at Linsen, who was holding the ball on the court, and said.
