"Natalie's figure has recovered really well, she is a new generation of super hot moms in Hollywood."

"Bill, we're here to talk about basketball." Hoffman said with a smile.

"I've been commenting on basketball, Natalie is part of Wood and part of the off-court and should be included, I'm dedicated, Paul's playmaking from above the free throw line, this pass is fantastic, Lamar got a layup with ease, and tonight Darko and Paul are showing us the wisdom of the big guys."

"Darko is still a long way from Paul, but the presence of Chris allows him to learn more, and this season Chris has played a lot less minutes than last season.

The stats have dropped dramatically, but he seems to be enjoying the situation. Hoffman looked at Chris who was sitting on the bench. Weber.

On the court, Linson received Milicic's serve and dribbled the ball forward, and with two minutes to go before the end of the first half, the Orlando Magic trailed the Lakers by one point at 48-49.

"In the first half, Wood was clearly accumulating, and he only made four shots so far, and it was no surprise that the fourth quarter was the final moment."

"That's for sure, playing with a team like the Lakers is destined to fight to the last moment, although both sides have teams that rely on their individual ability to instantly rise to play a terrifying wave.

But it's not just that way, but I do know that people would prefer to see Wood or Bryant go into offensive mode. ”

In Hoffman's voice, Linson dribbled the ball through the half, and Michael was in charge of defending Linsen. Petrus immediately posted it.

Staring at Petrus as he posted it. Lin Sen did not wait passively, but directly greeted him. This caused Petrus to immediately stop and adjust his pace to welcome Lin Sen's arrival.

When it was less than half a meter from Petrus. With his left hand, he grabbed the ball, and the ball bounced to his right hand in front of him, and as soon as his left shoulder was raised, his right shoulder was lowered, and his body instantly leaned to the right side, and Petrus immediately moved his feet to the right side of his body.

Seeing Petrus move his footsteps, Lin Sen slapped the ball again with his right hand, and his right shoulder instantly raised to the left side, and at the same time, his right foot stepped directly out of the way.

"Directly changed direction, Michael was shaken by Wood!" Look at Bill on the field. Wharton immediately shouted.

Lin Sen's change of direction this time was completely done in one go. Even though this is the home court of the Lakers, Linson's performance has still been cheered by many fans.

Kobe Bryant on the other side. Bryant saw Linson shake off Petrus and wanted to throw away Billups to pounce on the defense, but he had just left, and Billups Linson had already stopped and jumped directly above the free throw line and threw the ball out.

"The accurate mid-range pull-up jumper, compared to last season, is exactly two people, and although there is a lot of lace news about Wood and the media always catch him off the court, I would say that Wood's on-court effort should not be overlooked, just like his pull-up jumper.

Everyone knows how poor Wood's offensive means were when he first entered the league, relying only on breakouts and three-pointers, and he was afraid of jump shots. This also gives the opponent a chance to make up for him.

Wood slowly began to develop the mid-range jumper in the middle of last season until the playoffs, and by this season the mid-range jumper had become an essential offensive weapon. It's no exaggeration to say that Wood's pull-up jumper is heading in the direction of his nirvana. ”

"Bill, you're right, the former king of the pitcher, Alain. Houston and now Richard. Hamilton had great mid-range shooting, but Wood now combined his stop-and-go jumper with just the right combination. Hoffman continued.

On the court, the old fish Fisher advanced with the ball, and Billups did not interfere with Fisher too much, but let Fisher take the ball to the three-point line and learn to post it.

"Wood just scored, will Bryant consider one this time?" Bill. Wharton said with a smile.

However, this time Fisher still did not pass the ball to Kobe, but hoisted the ball to Paul, who was once again pulled to the free throw line. In the hands of Gasol.

"It's Paul again. Gasol received the ball, and the last time the Lakers scored was Paul's response. ”

Gasol leaned on Milicic with the ball in one hand, and Linson looked at Gasol ready to go up to make up the defense.

At this time, Gasol hit Milicic with his back force, and Milicic pressed Gasol hard.

"Not good!" Linson immediately pounced, and Gasol was already shaking his shoulders and turning around.

Before Lin Sen came up, his left arm forced his way to the inside line through Milicic, but he didn't take a fast stride but he took a big step and reached the outside of the reasonable collision zone in one step.

Milicic immediately withdrew to the other side of the basket, and Howard completed the switch with Milicic at the first time.

"It's a beautiful change of position, and it's so timely." Hoffman praised Howard and Milicic for their switching defenses.

Face Paul. For a player with a high IQ like Gasol, just a slight slow shot means giving the opponent a chance to score.

Paul. Gasol raised his arms sharply and made a shooting gesture, and Howard, who came up to the defense, immediately jumped up with his arms raised.

After shaking up Howard, Paul. Gasol threw the ball out.

Bill on the commentary bench. Wharton shook his head: "Paul played with a poor time, in fact, Dwight and Darko just changed their positions very well, but this time the defensive jump is still too hurried, it shouldn't be so fast, as long as the arms are raised and standing in place is the best defense, Dwight's defense needs more learning." ”

"This is also a problem that the whole Orlando team has always been determined to help Dwight solve, but unfortunately Dwight's feet are always like springs, in fact, I have a weak suggestion." Hoffman laughed, "Let Adidas give Dwight's shoes heavier, maybe Dwight won't jump so easily." ”

"That's a good piece of advice, and of course it's used in training at this time, and if you can't jump all the time, you may develop a habit of not jumping, and I think that Paul's younger brother Mark will be joining Orlando next season. When the time comes, Orlando and Los Angeles will have another highlight. "Bill. Wharton said with a smile.

With Paul. Gasol's goal from the Lakers once again put the margin on the table. The first half of the game also went into the last minute.

Offensive and defensive transitions. Magic made a running cover tactic, and Linson shook off Petrus's marking.

However, he still couldn't get rid of the Lakers' defense, and Bryant replaced Petrus and stood in front of Linson.

"Why don't you bring Amy and Annie over, I haven't hugged them until now." With his arms outstretched, Kobe Bryant looked at Lin Sen and said.

Lin Sen looked at the position of his teammates and consciously looked at Michael. Petrus moved sideways, glancing at the ball as he protected it: "They're too small, do you think it's easy to bring them out?" Besides, I didn't hug Natalia and Gianna either. ”

Ignoring Kobe's glare: "And they've always liked me." ”

"They must stay away from you. I have to guard against you, everyone else can discuss this, everyone knows that there is something attractive about you. ”

As soon as Kobe finished speaking, Lin Sen forcibly accelerated to the other side of Kobe Bryant with a fierce slap.

Petrus, who was thrown away by Linson on the other side, saw that Linson was likely to get rid of Kobe, thought about it and decided to defend again.

"Don't make up for it!" Off the field Phil. Jackson shouted at the court, but before his words reached Petrus's ears, Linson pushed the ball directly.

Michael who pounced on Linsen. Petrus was stunned as he defended Linson and completely dropped Billups, whose three-point shooting ability is well known.

When Linson's ball came in front of him, Billups didn't hesitate and jumped directly to the three-point line. Watch the basket shoot the ball.

He shot a career-high 43.6 percent from three-point range this season. The main reason is that there are many more opportunities to shoot in the open space than in the past.

Billups was confident in such an open opportunity, and Fisher, who was closest to Billups, was too late to make up for it, so he could only watch as Billups threw the ball out of the way with a textbook shooting move.

With a white wave from the Nets, Billups walked towards Linson.

Looking at Lin Sen and Billups Biel who high-fived on the field. Wharton laughed: "Michael paid the price for his blind defense, Orlando took another two-point lead, and Wood also got a double-double of 10 points and 10 assists in the half with this assist. ”

"Chauncey and Wood are really good together, no one would have thought that Chauncey's stats in Orlando this season did not drop much, but reached a career-high 17.7 points, of course, this is inseparable from the hidden containment of other people in Orlando on the defense, which led to Chauncey's efficient scoring."

After the Magic's successful offensive attack was 38 seconds before the end of the half, the Lakers had one more offensive opportunity after the Magic attacked.

"Bryant is going to pass the ball, it's Wood who defends him, and Wood has been training with Bryant this summer, so he should be used to the way Bryant attacks." Hoffman said, looking at the field.

Kobe Bryant did not attack head-on but chose to attack with his back, and Lin Sen stuck to Kobe's back and raised his right hand high.

Hoffman is right, but even so, Lin Sen can't grasp what Kobe's next move will do, and even if he predicts it, he may not be able to prevent it.

Kobe Bryant held the ball in front of him with both hands, and pushed his butt to Lin Sen behind him, he and Lin Sen had too many one-on-one times in the summer, and he also knew that Lin Sen's progress was obvious, and after feeling Lin Sen's strength, Kobe began to exert his strength.

Boom!

Lin Sen's chest made a muffled sound under Kobe's impact, and if it was last season, Lin Sen would have been unable to help but retreat under this impact.

However, Bryant did not give Linson a chance to breathe, and soon the second impact came.

Bryant bent down and began to dribble with his back to the ball, as a third hit followed.

"To the left?" Lin Sen squinted, and his body couldn't help but want to move to the right, but Kobe Bryant didn't turn to the left but shook to the right again.

When Lin Sen was still hesitating, Kobe Bryant turned over and jumped directly on the spot with his left foot as the axis.

Looking at the jumping Kobe, Lin Sen immediately jumped up, and stretched out his straight right hand to Kobe's eyes as much as possible, which is the defensive method that Battier taught him.

Lin Sen worked hard, but this time it didn't have any effect.

Bryant stared at Linson's defense and threw the ball out, and the ball jumped past Linson's fingers and flew behind him.

Bryant rolled over and jumped, and made a big step-back jumper. This is Bryant's signature move! Hoffman shouted.

In the cheers of the Staples fans. Bryant's shot made the ball into the basket.

Accompanied by the hoarse shouts of the live DJ. The fans shouted Bryant's name loudly.

"Wood worked hard, but he couldn't prevent the goal, 53:53 Los Angeles tied the gap with Bryant's goal, but they still left Orlando 15 seconds, for Orlando 15 seconds can accomplish a lot of things, no surprise the last attack will be in the hands of Wood."

In Bill. In Wharton's voice, Lin Sen slowly dribbled the ball through the half.

After halftime, he looked up at the timer above the rebound. The clock was already ten seconds after its worst.

Standing one step away from the 45-point line on the left side, standing in front of Linson was Michael, who also played for the Bandit Warriors last season. Petrus.

Michael. Petrus to the Lakers, the Lakers need more of his defense than offense, the first meeting of the season, Petrus's performance in defending Linson seemed to be decent, but at the last moment he was shot by Linsen directly.

This match was the second meeting between him and Linsen this season, and he and Linsen only taught four times last season.

Petrus defended cautiously and looked at Michael. Petrus's defense, Linson was not in a hurry to attack at all, even if the offensive time had entered six seconds.

"Wood wasn't in a hurry at all, he looked confident." Bill. Wharton looked at Lin Sen and said with a smile.

At this time, Linsen's right foot took a tentative step. Petrus's attention was also fully raised. Linson's right foot was retracted and then again towards Michael. One step to the left of Petrus.

This Lin Sen was not a feint, but a real one, and the whole body bowed. Shoot the ball with your left hand at the same time.

Michael. Petrus immediately retreated backwards, while his arms were fully open to prevent Lin Sen's forced breakthrough.

Look at Michael. Petrus's defensive reaction, Linson laughed.

Quickly retract the right foot, the ball passes under the crotch to the right hand, while the left foot is withdrawn, directly in Michael. Petrus jumped up under the gaze.

"Wood drops back three points!" Hoffman shouted.

Petrus let out a low curse and hurriedly adjusted his body and pounced.

Looking at the basket in the distance, Lin Sen pulled the ball out.

When the ball flew off the palm of his hand, Michael. Petrus's palm was in front of him.

The basketball flew up over Staples under the gaze of everyone in the audience, drawing a perfect arc and falling to the basket amid the unwilling eyes and boos of Lakers fans.

The moment the ball passed through the net, the whistle blew at the end of the half.

"Whistle press, whistle three, Wood, big heart Wood, play big heart threes directly under Michael's defense, and look at the excited big-name fans on the sidelines, they are just like ordinary people who are excited by Wood's performance and have adrenal surges." Bill. Wharton looked at Miley cheering with her arms raised on the big screen. Cyrus said.

"Not all the big names enjoy Wood's whistle like that, like Leonardo." Hoffman said with a smile.

"Leon is a die-hard in Los Angeles, he's a different story, but has Leon been nominated this year?" Bill. Wharton asked with a smile.

"It doesn't seem to be, and if there were, Leon would be embarrassed even if he won the award."

During the 20-minute intermission, Miley Brown, who had been on fire this year. Cyrus was in charge of singing her songs.

"Thanks to Staples for the invitation, I'm honored to get this opportunity to sing, I'm a die-hard basketball fan, and I love the Los Angeles Lakers." Miley. Cyrus said with the microphone in his hand.

The fans gave her a round of applause. The image of Montana is too impressive.

"Thank you for the applause, but I also love the Orlando Magic, and of course more than not, because I like Wood. Lin, he's my favorite guy, and I gave him the song below. "Miley. Cyrus's words made the Lakers fans at the scene stunned for a moment.

One by one, they grew up and didn't know whether to boo or not, and Miley. Cyrus didn't care about the others, and sang on his own.

"Wood is such a good guy, but it's good that he's not the one I like, otherwise I'd be miserable." Scarlett. Johnson looked at Miley on the field. Cyrus said with a smile.

"That means I have a good eye, doesn't it? If no one likes him, then he's not good. "Natalie. Portman smiled.

"Okay, you're really open, but I'm going to go to Orlando with you, and I want to see Amy and Annie."

"No problem, as long as you don't mind the media." Natalie. Portman said with a smile.

Scarlett shrugged: "If I mind, I won't go very often, it doesn't matter." ”

The 20-minute break at halftime passed quickly, and after the start of the second half, Kobe Bryant took the lead in turning on his own offensive mode, and Artest's defense was greatly tested. Van Gundy made an early substitution for Battier when he played five minutes in the third quarter.

"Oh, Bryant's firepower is so ferocious, Orlando is so bad, they have to find a good way to defend, maybe Ron and Sean defending together is the best choice, then Bryant can be contained."

"Wood should also turn on his own offensive magic, and there's a saying that's not quite true, but it should be a good time to use here, and that is, 'The best offense is the best defense.'" "Bill. Wharton looked at Lin Sen on the field and said.

With four minutes left before the end of the third quarter, the Magic went from leading by three points at halftime to now trailing by seven points.

The initiator was Kobe Bryant's big outburst, and Kobe Bryant alone scored 17 points in a single quarter. (To be continued......)
