Chapter 37: Danger [2/3]

"No problem?" Garnett passes the ball to Linson.

Looking at Garnett, Lin Sen shook his head: "No problem. ”

Linson had just dribbled past halftime when Stevenson defended again, and this time Stevenson's defense was tenacious, but Linson didn't plan to let Garnett help.

As soon as he pulled the ball, there was some gap between the two, and Lin Sen raised his right hand, signaling that Garnett, who was on the inside, did not need to come up to cover for him.

Seeing Linson's handwave, Garnett ran to the basket for the middle distance, and Haywood immediately followed, and the inside line seemed to be much empty.

Successive cross-steps were staged in front of Stevenson, who stared at Linson tightly.

With a slap of the right hand, the body turns directly to the left side for a half turn.

After seeing the change in the center of gravity of Stevenson's defense, Lin Sen accelerated after a pullback.

The body collided with Stevenson's chest, and Linson's body stumbled slightly before taking another step, and Stevenson's defense was declared a failure.

Lin Sen, who passed Stevenson, still did not choose a mid-range shot, which gave Devin Casey a headache off the court, and he still subconsciously avoided the mid-distance after practicing for so long.

Thinking of this, Devin Casey wished that Linson would have met the kind of team that could force Linsen to shoot from mid-range earlier.

Jamison threw away Eddie Griffin to make up for it, but Linson didn't shoot directly, and threw the ball directly with his right hand, and it was too late for Jamison to turn back to make up for Eddie Griffin.

When Eddie Griffin's body reached its highest point, the ball fell right near his hands.

An easy air relay was born.

"Wood, I'm going to let you out tonight and be happy!" Eddie Griffin let go of the basket and said to Linson.

Lin Sen shrugged: "Eddie, I have an event, so I'm sorry." ”

"Wood seems to have an idea of turning Minnesota into an air pick-up group." Hoffman said with a smile.

The calm Lin Sen waited for Arenas' arrival, he didn't know when he would be able to defend against Arenas, but Lin Sen believed that as long as he worked hard, he would one day guard against Arenas, but Lin Sen didn't want it to come too late.

"Don't be so serious, although I'm optimistic about you." Arenas smiled and looked at Lin Sen in front of him.

He encouraged Lin Sen because he saw some qualities in Lin Sen that he also had.

"But your defense isn't going to work at all."

Listening to Arenas' words, Lin Sen didn't answer again but stared at Arenas, this time even if he couldn't prevent him, he wanted to see his own progress.

After successive dribbles, Arenas rushed directly to Linson's left side, and there was no jishu Arenas who believed that his body could easily tear through Linson's defense.

However, the thin Lin Sen did not flinch, but held his chest to defend hard.

Arenas' weight advantage made it difficult for him to move.

"Wood seems to be pushing himself, and I'm afraid he'll be knocked straight to the ground by Gilbert." Bill Wharton worried.

However, Lin Sen did not flinch, but retreated directly against Arenas.

Arenas didn't expect to be so tenacious at all, but it also inspired Arenas to fight and throw the ball against Linson Arenas.

But in the end, the ball didn't go in, but Lin Sen was not happy at all, because of the burning pain in his chest.

"You know you're supposed to gain weight, right?" Garnett smiled and passed the ball to Linson.

"Well, I will, you and the coaching staff have been buzzing in my ears all day." Lin Sen said helplessly.

At the end of the first half, the impression was changed from the excellent attack of Linsen and Arenas to Linsen's struggle alone.

In the fifth minute, Lin Sen completely gave up his active attack and devoted more energy to defense, which Lin Sen himself did not expect before the game.

But he's enjoying it, and even though he's still blown up by Arenas on the defensive end, it's a different feeling for Arenas every time.

Arenas could even sense Linson's improvement on the defensive end, although that improvement is likely to be just the cumulative result of the constant defeats in this game.

At the end of the first half, the Washington Wizards, who were playing at home, led the Timberwolves by eight points with 24 points from Arenas, 10 points from Butler, and 12 points from Jamison.

"The game was a bit of a surprise, and I think everyone thought that Wood would continue to shine on the offensive end, but Wood became extremely persistent in defense, but the gains after his persistence were still blown up by Gilbert." Bill Wharton said.

Hoffman, who was next to Bill Wharton, smiled and said, "Yes, but at least it makes Wood look more professional, isn't there a lot of people saying that Wood doesn't invest enough in basketball?" At least a few minutes in the first half, Wood worked hard. ”

And Lin Sen, who returned to the locker room, was not only not criticized, but was praised by Devin Casey.

This made Ricky Davis and Mike James very uncomfortable, both of them are too different in the treatment of players, but they can only hold these in their hearts, and their performance in the first half tonight is really poor, let alone confident.

After the start of the second half, the inside-outside combination of Garnett and Linson stretched the Wizards' defense.

In the sixth minute of the third quarter, Linson once again relied on Garnett to cover and shake off Butler's defense before passing the ball back to Jaric on the outside.

Jaric hit a three-pointer after receiving the ball, and the Timberwolves tied the score with this three-pointer.

However, Linson's assist once again sparked Arenas' attacking desire.

Arenas raised his arms high for the ball, and Caron Butler, who was holding the ball, immediately passed it back.

Wizards fans cheered loudly for Arenas, looking forward to Arenas giving Linson, a rookie, more power.

"Gilbert chose to attack with his back!" Hoffman said as he looked at Arenas on the field.

Lin Sen held his chest out against Arenas.

Boom!

Arenas slammed into Linson behind him, who took a small step back.

And Arenas turned over directly and made a jumper, and Lin Sen helplessly watched Arenas hit a long-range jumper.

Linson returned to the offensive end and relied on the cover to shake off Butler's defense, and after a change of direction to avoid Stevenson's supplementary defense, he threw and hit directly to help the Timberwolves tie the score again.

The current lineup of the Wizards is a little stronger than that of the Timberwolves, and the Wizards led by the Three Musketeers continue to help the Wizards take the lead, and Garnett has also begun to explode in an all-round way, proficient in offensive and defensive rebounds and assists.

And Linson also scored goals from time to time while organizing the team's offense, and unknowingly the game came to Zuihou for a minute and a half, at which time the big screen showed that the Wizards playing at home were one point ahead of the Timberwolves.

"I'm going to score goals!" Arenas said as he looked at Lin Sen in front of him.

Linsen gritted his teeth and didn't answer, Arenas had already won 40 in this game, most of which was won under his defense, and Linsen could already imagine what kind of criticism he would be faced after the game.

Arenas passed the ball away, much to Linson's surprise.

But as soon as Arenas got the ball out, he turned around and ran inside, and Linson immediately chased after him.

However, Arenas, who rushed inside without the ball, suddenly made a sharp stop and turned and ran to the outside.

Jamison, who received the ball inside, also immediately passed the ball out, "Damn! Lin Sen immediately turned around and pounced.

Arenas looked at Linson who pounced, and did not waver in his determination to shoot.

Linson knows that it is unrealistic for him to want to block, so blocking the vision of Arenas' shot is the most realistic.

The palm of his hand pressed against Arenas' eyes, but he still couldn't stop Arenas' shot.

"You can't stop me now." Arenas looked at Lin Sen and said.

In the next second, there was a crisp sound of wiping the net behind Lin Sen.
