"Wood, you're on the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter, but you distribute your energy and the Zuihou moment is the most important thing." Stan. Van Gundy looked at Linsen and said.

Lin Sen nodded: "No problem, I know what to do." ”

"That's good, Grant, you and Eddie continue to play, pay attention to the offensive ......" Stan said. Van Gundy quickly explained, while Lawrence on the other side of the Jishu platform. Frank was also quickly arranging.

Although the team trailed the Magic by four points, or two two-pointers, which is a small margin that looks easy to chase, the Nets played such a catch-up role for three quarters of the game.

This made Frank a little depressed, so he planned to seize the opportunity of the second team at the beginning of the fourth quarter to catch up and even overtake the score.

"Vince, you've been on the court since the fourth quarter, the team needs your offense, I won't say much else, you should know what to do." Frank said, looking at Carter.

"I will." Kart replied that he had a three-minute break at the end of the third quarter and recovered a lot of energy, and he also wanted to help the team catch up with the seemingly small four-point difference as soon as possible, and he knew how bad it was to play the role of a chaser, especially as the game time became less and less, and the pressure would continue to increase.

"The fourth quarter is about to start, and the difference of four points is not huge, but New Jersey has been chasing for three full quarters, and it will be interesting to see if they can catch up in the fourth quarter." Hoffman said.

Honk!

A whistle blew, and the players from both sides returned to the field.

"Oh, Wood didn't continue to rest off the court and went straight back to the court, and Vince didn't sit on the court on the Nets' side. Lawrence was intent on catching up during this time. Stan's setup apparently surprises Lawrence. "Bill. Wharton said.

As noted by Bill. That's what Wharton said. Frank really didn't expect Linson to come on the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and pulled Nakba, who was about to play: "Persian Jane, you are in charge of Wood. Lin stared at him and didn't let him shoot at will, even at the expense of your attack. ”

"Lawrence pulled Posie Jane and looked like he was temporarily explaining something, I think it should be to put him in charge of defending Wood, after all, Lawrence definitely didn't expect Wood to play at the beginning of the fourth quarter." Hoffman said.

At this time, the Nets' on-court lineup was inside Clifford and Mickey. Moore, small forward position is Persian Jane. Nakba's scoring guard is Vince. Carter organized the guard by Eddie. House.

And the inside line on the Magic side is Daktronics. Milicic and Tony. Barty, small forward is the team's sixth Grant. Hill. The back line is the veteran Eddie who joined the team in the middle of the game. Jones and Linson.

At the start of the fourth quarter, the Magic had the ball, and Milicic sent the ball to Linson, who immediately dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.

Linson did not rush to attack but stopped at the center circle line and waited for his teammates to settle down, while Nakba stood on the three-point line and waited for Linsen.

Milicic did not land directly in the penalty area, but stood directly outside the three-point line, and Linson started at the same time to use Milicic to cover and shake off the Nakba defense.

Milicic, who covered for Linson last night, did not stay where he was, but ran directly down the three-point line to the left, and Grant, who was standing 30 degrees on the left. Hill ran to the top of the arc at the same time.

Milicic's run was just right for him to block Vince who was defending him. Carter, and Linson, who could cover and shake off Nakba, did not hit the inside line but passed directly behind the head.

Grant at the free throw line. Hill caught Linson's pass steadily, and was temporarily in the unguarded Grant Field. Hill threw the ball straight away.

"Grant hit a mid-range shot, a back-to-back cover to find an opportunity, a six-point difference. New Jersey got a blow to the head at the start of the fourth quarter, and they had to work harder. "Bill. Wharton exclaimed.

Offensive and defensive transitions. Vince. Carter picks up Eddie. House's pass is facing Grant. Hill's defense jumped up and shot after a fumble.

"Vince fought back forcefully, and you can see from the cheers of the crowd that New Jersey fans expect such Vince." Hoffman said.

Lin Sen, who returned to the offensive end, dribbled the ball through the half and did not control the ball himself to the end, but directly handed the ball to Grant. Hill, Nakba clung to Linson.

Lin Sen, who was leaning on Nakba, shook and turned to Nakba's left side, Nakba immediately moved his feet, but Lin Sen directly pulled back his body and ran from the right side of his body.

The inside line is connected to Grant. Milicic, who passed the ball from Hill, immediately passed the ball out, and it was too late for Nakba to chase after him. House immediately threw away his own defending Eddie. Jones pounced on Linson.

Eddie. Jones didn't stay where he was and wait for the rest of the Nets to change their defenses, but ran straight to the bottom corner three-point line, and Linson passed the ball directly.

"Chance!" Bill. Wharton shouted.

But Eddie. Jones missed a three-pointer from the bottom corner, and the ball bounced off the frame.

"Darko makes a basket!" As soon as the ball left the basket, Milicic jumped up, and with a light touch of his right hand, the ball flew back to the basket again, but unfortunately Milicic's rebound also missed, and the ball spun around the basket and slid out.

Seeing this scene, Frank immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Moore hands the ball to Eddie. House Nets quickly turned defense into offense.

Vince. Carter received another pass and faced Grant. Hill's defense, with the ball in both hands, has the most basic three threats between the waist and abdomen.

Linson, on the right side of the three-point line, leaned over and looked at Carter and Hill. Hill stared at Carter closely, and Carter forced his breakthrough directly after continuous tentative steps.

Seeing Carter forcing a breakthrough, Linson immediately moved to the top of the arc to defend Eddie. Eddie of House. Jones quickly retracted the line to pinch Carter.

In the face of Jones's sandwich defense, Carter did not force the ball to the end, but chose to distribute the ball to the top of the arc, and the top position of the arc was waiting for Eddie. House.

Vince splits the ball, Eddie at the top of the arc. House Opportunity! Hoffman shouted.

"Not necessarily." Bill on the side. Wharton said with a smile.

See Carter's point of the ball, away from Eddie. Haus, who was still more than two meters away, Lin Sen jumped out like a cheetah.

House was about to catch the ball with his hands outstretched, when a figure rushed up. House subconsciously grabbed the ball, but a palm appeared directly between him and the ball.

Syllable!

"Wood. Wood steals! "Bill. Wharton shouted.

There are no haode fast break chances. Lin Sen simply pulled the ball into his arms.

Frank on the sidelines waved his arm in annoyance, this opportunity was too good just now, if House hit this three-pointer then the situation could change, but all this was ruined by Linsen, a rookie.

"Bill, I finally know what you mean, Wood is so fast, even though I have commented a lot of Wood's games, I still underestimate his speed." Hoffman turned to look at Bill. Wharton said.

Linsen didn't rush to the front court, and Nakba stood in front of Linsen.

It's the fourth quarter that can be a real moment of truth. So Lin Sen didn't entangle with Nakba at all, but at Tony. Barty gestured.

Tony. Barty immediately pulled it out, and Linson took the help of Tony. Barty's cover went straight to the inside, Mickey. Moore watched Lin Sen who rushed in adjust his pace and stood on top of Lin Sen's offensive line.

Looking at Mikey, who was standing not far away. Morlinson had a plan in mind, adjusted his pace and rushed straight over.

Mickey. Moore waited with his arms raised for Linson's arrival. When Moore was still two steps away, Linson slapped the ball, held the ball in his arms with both hands, and rushed towards Mickey as if he were holding an explosive bag. Moles.

See this scene Mikey. Moore raised his arms high for fear of being fouled by Lin Sen, a rookie.

The left foot went straight to Mickey. Moore's left side, Moore immediately moved his feet, but Linson's right foot quickly landed on Mickey. Moore's right side.

He raised the ball high with both hands, and Clifford on the other side of the basket pounced with his right hand raised.

Seeing the pounce, Cleverlinson quickly took the ball away. The left hand reached out from behind Clifford and nudged lightly.

Milicic, who was originally defending by Clifford, steadily caught Linsen's pass, and the unguarded Milicic easily slammed his hands down.

"Beautifully divided. Darko dunked and the margin was back to six points, which was Wood's 10th assist and another double-double, and Wood was a double-double machine. Hoffman said.

But back to the Nets on the offensive end by Vince Brown. Carter hit a jumper straight away, and the margin was back to four points.

The game continued, but the Nets still played the role of chaser, and the Magic's lead was not too big and hovered between three and six points.

Seeing that the time is getting less and less, Frank on the sidelines is also a little anxious, if this game can't be won, then the possibility of falling behind 0:3 they want to complete a big reversal and advance to the next round is infinitely close to 0, so this game can not be lost, once he loses, he can imagine what kind of criticism he will receive, not only will he be criticized, but it will also be difficult to keep his whip.

Lawrence called a timeout, and with six minutes left in the game, Orlando still led by four points, which meant that New Jersey had been doing nothing for the past six minutes.

"Bill, it's not useless, it's hard work, Vince has been working hard, he scored eight points alone in the past six minutes, and everyone can see the physical exertion, while Wood is very easy to organize the whole team's offense, only two shots or open spot to catch the ball." Hoffman said.

Frank knew this, of course, but he didn't dare to replace Carter, who had a good hand.

A whistle blows, and the timeout ends.

The Nets replaced Crawford with Kostic and brought on Richard. Jefferson replaces Mickey. Moore, Jason. Kidd replaces Nakba.

"Oh, Lawrence has changed formations, one big and four small, obviously he wants to catch up with the point difference as soon as possible, how does New Jersey defend?" Bill. Wharton looked at Stan, who was standing on the sidelines. Van Gundy.

Van Gundy also didn't expect the Nets to use a lineup of one big and four small, and now it's too late to adjust the lineup, so he can only look and see.

Coming back from the timeout, the Nets' one-big and four-small lineup caused problems for the Magic. Webb's footsteps are no longer young and he can't keep up with Richard. Jefferson.

Under the pull of the end Richard. Jefferson received a pass from Kidd and hit a high post with a big two-pointer.

However, the shortcomings of the Nets' lineup are also obvious, that is, their defense, back to the defensive end of the Nets' interior defense is too weak, Chris. Webb catches the ball and singles Richard. Jefferson succeeded.

Seeing this scene Stan. Van Gundy simply didn't adjust the lineup. After all, the Nets are destined to do poorly on the defensive end.

As Van Gundy thought. Despite the excellent performance on the offensive end, the defensive end is simply too weak to protect the interior. So much so that he just scored two points and was quickly chased back by the Magic.

When the clock ticked for three minutes, Frank made the first change, replacing Eddie with Collins. House.

However, after changing the lineup, the Nets' offense did not have the advantage they had just now.

"Wood, key layups, five points, New Jersey trailed by five points, and there was less and less time left for them. Their opportunities are also becoming less and less. "Bill. Wharton looked at the big screen and said that there was only one minute and ten seconds left until the end of the game.

The Magic led the Nets by 5 points at 104:99, and the Nets fans at the scene also fell silent, although the 5-point difference was not big, but they really had no confidence to see the Nets chasing them all night and not being able to catch up.

"Jason!" Carter leans against Grant. Hill shouted at Kidd that Carter, who had only been resting for six minutes so far, was too tired to die.

"Vince is asking for the ball, he is still insisting, this game Vince is completely worth his value, and New Jersey would have been defeated without him." Hoffman said, looking at Carter.

Kidd hoisted the ball directly to Carter, who leaned on Grant with his back. Hill.

Hill clung to Carter's back, and he could feel Carter's physical exertion. Hill knows that as long as he guards this ball, then the Magic are not far from victory.

For him, who came to Orlando with big goals, it certainly means a lot to help Orlando go further in his year under contract.

Suddenly. Carter's shoulders shook, but the shaking was much worse than at the beginning of the game, Hill was not moved at all, but Carter in front of him couldn't care so much and turned over and jumped directly.

Carter jumped, and Hill jumped too.

The whole body leaned back, and Hill blocked Carter's shooting vision as much as possible.

Carter's body was almost at an eighty-degree angle to the floor, watching as Carter threw the ball out of the basket.

"Vince, shoot hard, this ball is very reluctant, Vince's fitness has reached the limit." Bill. Wharton said, looking at Carter.

The ball left Carter's fingers and flew into the air, crashing to the basket under the watchful eyes of the Nets fans.

Clang!

With a crisp sound, the ball slammed into the back of the basket and bounced high, but luckily the ball landed in the basket.

"The key goal, there are still three points missing, as long as you defend well, New Jersey still has a chance." Hoffman shouted.

Carter, who fell to the floor after throwing the ball, got up and immediately ran to the backcourt, looking at Carter's back, Lin Sen was very admired.

After receiving Milicic's serve, Linson slowly and leisurely dribbled the ball to the half court, looking up at the big screen.

104-101 was clearly displayed on the big screen, and the Magic still led by three points, with 53 seconds left before the end of the game.

Richard. Jefferson watched Linson, who was parked near the center circle, run up, and every second counts for the Nets.

Looking at Jefferson running towards him, Lin Sen dribbled calmly without any nervousness.

"Defend! Defend! Defend! ”

The entire IZOD Center resounded with the shouts of the fans, and Carter's goal just now gave them a little confidence again, and they were expecting the Nets to stage a comeback.

Looking at Jefferson who rushed towards him, Lin Sen narrowed his eyes, which made Jefferson feel uneasy.

Just when he was less than a meter away from Lin Sen, Lin Sen, who was stopped in place, moved, and made a fierce acceleration sprint.

Looking at Lin Sen, who was rushing up, Jefferson immediately adjusted his pace, but Lin Sen didn't give him a chance at all.

Yikes!

The playoff custom version of the legendary generation at Linson's feet and the floor let out a piercing friction, and the whole person changed direction and directly let go of Jefferson's body.

Vince. Seeing this, Carter shouted at Jefferson, "Change the guard!" ”

Carter also threw away his own defensive Grant. Hill rushed to Linsen, he must guard against Linsen's ball, only by defending it can he have a chance.

Looking at Catlinson, who pounced on him from the side, he still didn't panic.

Syllable!

Fearing the ball, a horizontal pull and Carter pulled away a little again, and after pulling away, Linson did not rush into the three-point line but threw himself directly into the air.

"Oh, Wood jumped, he picked three points? Isn't that a bit of a rush? Hoffman said as he looked at Linson, who was jumping up from outside the three-point line.

Magic fans in front of the TV can't help but worry about Lin Sen's impulsiveness, although they all know Lin Sen's three-point ability, but at such a critical moment, they still hope that Lin Sen will be more cautious.

But Lin Sen, who was jumping up at the moment, didn't know what they thought, he only knew that he had to throw the ball in.

Stan. Van Gundy looked at Linson in the air, and he was as worried as the Magic fans.

Looking at the basket in the distance, Lin Sen's fingers flicked hard, and the basketball left Lin Sen's fingers in the boos of the court, and Carter, who struggled to pounce, slapped himself into the air.

Swish!

A crisp sound of wiping the net accompanied by the megaphone hit the eardrums of every Nets person.

107:101, the three-point difference became 6 points at such a time.

"Wood, three-point, three-point, three-point, three-point, three-point, three Bill. Wharton yelled.

The moment Frank saw the ball go into the basket, he immediately called a timeout.

Stan. Van Gundy glanced at each player: "The Nets are very likely to choose three-pointers, if they choose to steal two points then we will let them go, even if they let them score, don't pay for the penalty, we are six points ahead This is a safe score, as long as we hold on to Zuihou for thirty seconds, we are the winner of Zuihou, let them go fishing, we have to move forward!" ”

The Nets opted for a two-point steal after a timeout, but Carter's shot smashed out of the basket and Chris. Webb grabbed the defensive rebound and the Nets immediately fouled the game.

When Howard sent the ball back to Linson, Kidd immediately put it back, and with 22 seconds left before the end of the game, Linson walked to the free throw line and hit two free throws in the boo, completely shattering the Nets' idea.

With Carter's three-pointer smashed out of the frame, Howard grabbed the rebound, and the Nets stopped fouling.

When the whistle blew at the end of the game, Bill. Wharton shouted, "3:0! New Jersey made the playoffs with one foot. (To be continued......)
