βYESοΌβ
Devin Casey shook his fist excitedly, and with Linson's three-pointer, the five-point lead basically ensured the victory of the Timberwolves, barring a miracle.
But are miracles so good?
"Wood, Wood's three-pointer, he used the three-point to draw the perfect end to the game, I still have to thank the uniform team who gave up on choosing Wood, without you there would be no us, let's remember tonight together." The Minnesota radio narrator in charge of the live commentary shouted excitedly.
At this moment, countless people in Minnesota who were listening to the broadcast of this game couldn't help but cheer.
Isaiah Thomas used up Zuihou for a short timeout in an attempt to see a miracle.
But after the timeout, Crawford's three-pointer smashed the basket, and Eddie Griffin grabbed his 19th rebound of the game before Eddie Curry.
At the same time, it also completely announced the end of the suspense of the game.
When the whistle blew, the target center became a sea of joy, and countless people were reminiscing about the wonderful footage of the game.
Lin Sen also relaxed at this moment, and after his spirit relaxed, Lin Sen felt a sense of exhaustion fill his body.
"Wood, can you give me a brief interview? It only takes a short moment and won't disturb your rest. ESPN reporter Blue Evans called out to Linson, who was about to walk to the players' tunnel.
"No problem, but as soon as possible." Lin Sen pointed to himself.
"First of all, congratulations on leading the team to victory, you know that without KG you will have a hard time.
You stepped up and took on the responsibility of moving the team forward with the ball tonight and you did a great job, 35 points, which is a great stat, is there anything you would like to say? Blue Evans held the microphone in front of Linson.
Lin Sen picked up the big towel hanging around his neck and wiped his forehead: "xiexie, tonight's game was very difficult, but fortunately we persevered, without KG we have to work harder to win."
Devin's play-up was key to our success, Eddie's rebounds gave us more chances and there were others who wouldn't have won tonight without them.
All I could do was give my best, but tonight I thought I did a good job, but that's just the beginning.
We had to face the lack of KG throughout December, so tonight's win is just the starting point of a difficult journey, we have to forget about taking every game seriously tonight, even if the game is tough we will try to play until KG returns. β
"You must have heard the MVP calls of the fans tonight, and someone else said that you are the little wolf king, what do you think?"
"It's a sign of how well I did tonight, but I know how much I still have to work on, and that doesn't mean I have what it takes to be an MVP.
As for the little wolf king, can I say that it really doesn't sound good? Lin Sen said with a smile.
"Can I say no, then?" Blue Evans asked with a smile.
"Well, I also know no, xiexie they say about me, it's the same as MVP, I won't be so proud that I stop, I will just use it as a spur to work harder, this is just the beginning."
Twenty minutes later, in the post-game press conference, Linson was undoubtedly the protagonist, with Devin Casey, Isiah Thomas and Stephen Marbury all supporting roles.
Despite the fact that the opponent was only the New York Knicks, Linson's outstanding performance still excited countless fans.
And the media also made a lot of reports on this game, especially combined with the verbal exchange between the two sides before the game, which made fans talk about it, of course, this does not include Knicks fans.
Crawford and Marbury became the opposite examples of being ridiculed, wanting to teach Linson a lesson as a rookie, but in the end, they were defeated by the rookie Linsen.

David Falck, who was far away in New York, hung up the phone with a smile, this was the tenth call he had received today about inviting Lin Sen to be his spokesperson.
In the past, there were every day, but far less than today, and the six or seven spokespersons who called were not simple small manufacturers.
David Falck sat in front of his computer, and his mailbox was filled with endorsement contracts from companies, several of which had just been called.
The first contract was sent by Gatorade, a sports drink giant owned by PepsiCo, and the representative of Gatorade also briefly said it on the phone, but there was only a specific endorsement amount, and more detailed information was in the contract.
As the NBA's official sports drink giant, Gatorade has a market share of 84% in the United States, but they still need to continue to consolidate their advantages and strive to become the official drink of MLB and NF, and they want to further become the No. 1 sports drink of Shijie.
Although Lin Sen is a rookie, his popularity is no worse than that of a first-line star, and Lin Sen's topicality and attention are incomparable to many first-line stars, and the expansion speed of Lin Sen's fan base is even more amazing.
On top of that, Lin Sen is still of the yellow race, which has helped Gatorade expand its market presence in Asia.
Gatorade's contract is four years and $6 million, which is completely incomparable to Adidas' five-year $70 million, but David Falck is not taken lightly at all.
According to Gatorade's past practice, even the first star Michael Jordan signed is only an annual salary of 2 million, which is still an increase in the last two years.
The other Yao Ming is the highest five-year 5 million, and the other three spokesmen, Carter, Wade and Linsen's teammate Garnett, are only $500,000 a year.
Therefore, Gatorade opened 6 million for Lin Sen for 4 years is already very rich, and more importantly, there are so many stars in the huge league, and only these few people have obtained Gatorade's contract, which is undoubtedly a recognition of Gatorade for Lin Sen.
So David Falck will definitely not let go of this contract, and the second email is from Armani.
On the phone, the person in charge of Armani said that the Armani suit style that Lin Sen wore in his absence soared in sales the next day, and many of them directly pointed to Lin Sen's photo and asked about this dress.
This attracted the attention of Armani, and then they investigated some of Lin Sen's situation that day, and finally decided on the idea of inviting Lin Sen to endorse after discussion.
It also opened a 3-year endorsement contract of 18 million US dollars for Lin Sen, and at the same time provided Armani suits for free, of course, once Lin Sen signed Armani he could only wear Armani suits.
In addition to Giorgio Armani and Gatorade, the star card company offered Linsen a five-year contract of 2.5 million.
Huaxia Yili Group, which came from across the ocean, even offered Lin Sen a huge contract of 40 million US dollars for five years.
Looking at the emails, David Falck felt that he had made the right choice.
Two days later, the Timberwolves flew to Memphis again for Game 2 of the season against the Grizzlies.
In the end, Linson scored 32 points, 11 assists, 6 rebounds and 4 steals in the whole game, helping the Timberwolves defeat the Grizzlies by 4 points and leading the Timberwolves to two consecutive wins.
After the game, Linson received a notice from the league that he was named the Western Conference Rookie of the Month in the first month of the new season, and was also nominated for the Western Conference Player of the Month.
But more importantly, on the night of the victory over the Grizzlies, supermodel Adriana Lima sat on the sidelines to cheer on Linson.
This makes countless people can't help but guess, and the only one who is lost is Jarich, who has already prepared in his heart.
All the inside and outside the stadium were proud, and Lin Sen was in the limelight for a while.
