Chapter 180: Wood, Does Your Sister Have a Boyfriend? 【First Update】
David in the box. Falck looked at Lin Sen surrounded by flames and smiled, such a welcome ceremony was undoubtedly the treatment of a superstar.
At least from this point of view, Magic is indeed not simply talking about putting Lin Sen at the core, then the rest is what role Lin Sen will play in the magic system.
"It's really shocking that Orlando is clearly telling Dwightwood. Lin is here to be the leader. ”
"Not really, but at least an attitude, after all, Orlando has paid such a big price, and he can't let Wood. Lin is going to be a role player, but I'm looking forward to Dwight more. Howard and Wood. Will Lin put on a show to seize power in Orlando. ”
……
The reporters in the media area basically revolve around who will be the leader of the team, Linson or Howard.
Howard in the audience had mixed feelings, although he was not very eager to be the leader of the team, and he also felt an unprecedented sense of crisis at this moment.
Lin Sen, who was surrounded by flames, raised his arms and fisted with his right hand: "Let's fight together!" ”
Lin Sen's roar spread through a loudspeaker to every corner of the center of the water house.
“fighting! fighting! fighting! ”
The DJ roared as soon as possible, slowly driving the fans to shout.
Uniform "fighting! "Let the vast majority of people temporarily forget their resentment towards Lin Sen at a huge price for magic.
As the flames were extinguished, the lifting platform where Lin Sen was located slowly lowered, and Lin Sen's highlights were once again displayed on the big screen above his head.
Otis. Smith and Stan. Van Gundy walked out of the tunnel of the players. He was followed by a staff member.
The spotlight is on Otis. Smith and Stan. Van Gundy. The two of them walked all the way to the makeshift stage.
"Ladies. Gentlemen, welcome to the Water House Center and welcome to witness Wood. Lin's joining ceremony, here I would like to bring everyone of the Orlando Magic to thank you for coming! "Otis. Smith said into the microphone.
The audience burst into applause, Otis. Smith smiled, "I believe Wood. Lin's arrival with Dwight will usher in our Orlando era! ”
"Countless people are looking forward to our jokes, countless people are laughing at our initiatives, but I am sure that every Orlando fan will support us and see a bright future for us."
Otis. Smith's voice fell. The staff walked up with a plate, and Otis. Smith reached for the jersey on the plate.
The Orlando Magic's home jersey was displayed in front of everyone, with a large number printed on the back of the jersey and the word LIN.
"Wood, welcome to the Orlando Magic!" Otis. Smith said with a smile.
Lin Sen took the jersey with both hands, and there was a warm shout on the scene, but it was significantly less enthusiastic than just now.
Because the Magic jersey in Linsen's hand is No. 1, although Lin Sen wears the No. 1 jersey in the Timberwolves, the Magic's No. 1 jersey obviously has a symbolic meaning in the eyes of Magic fans.
Both Penny Hardaway and his successor Maddie are leading the Magic battle in the No. 1 jersey. Now that Lin Sen, a rookie, is also wearing the No. 1 jersey, can he reproduce the glory of the Magic No. 1?
Many people are skeptical. Even if Lin Sen played dazzling statistics in the Timberwolves.
"I know countless people want to see me laugh at me, and countless people laugh at Otis for their choice, but what I'm trying to say is, I'm going to prove to everybody that if I can do it in Minnesota, like I said in the draft, then I can do it in Orlando too!"
Lin Sen's words have been recognized by many fans.
"yes, this rookie was also not favored before the draft, but didn't he do a good job with the Timberwolves? That being the case, what about the impossibility in Orlando weishenme? ”
Countless Orlando Magic fans thought that the applause in the audience was much louder than it was just now.
When the welcome ceremony ended, Lin Sen's joining conference soon kicked off in the conference room.
"Wood, first of all, I would like to welcome you on behalf of Oran Multimedia, you know that we have paid so much, what do you think you can bring us?"
The Orlando Sentinel reporter Rochette Brown. James stood up, and he was also the one in the "Spring of Magic? To hell with it! Author of The Stupidest Thing in History.
"Victory!"
"You're so confident?" Lochette. James asked.
"Then Weishenme is not confident, victory, this is the only purpose for which I came here."
"Do you mean that victory can't be brought to you in Minnesota?" Lochette. James continued to ask.
Lin Sen looked directly at Rochette who was standing. James: "If you weren't nearsighted, I'm sure you wouldn't be blind to what I did in Minnesota, and I'm here too." ”
Lochette. James was a little ashamed to do it, but he also had a different perception of Lin Sen, a rookie, instead of resentment.
This is American culture, and they are more heroic, and apparently Linsen's answer is very much in line with some people's expectations.
"Wood, first of all, congratulations on your move, what is your position in Orlando? The leader of the team or helping Dwight? ”
A white reporter stood up, and the question immediately excited the reporters in the audience. Smith and Stan. Van Gundy frowned.
Lin Sen naturally knew what these reporters were thinking, and smiled: "I believe that Dwight and the entire Magic team have the same goal as me, as Otis said, we will create an era together, although it sounds a little ridiculous, but we will work hard as a team."
Dwight has the potential to be a super center, I don't think he's going to turn down a teammate who can give him more wins, and I know his character and I think we can be very good friends. ”
Lin Sen's answer avoided the topic of who was the leader, making the reporters in the audience want to continue to ask. The reporter Smith had planted in advance stood up and asked Otis questions in a row. Smith and Stan. Van Gundy's question about the future of the team allowed the issue to be swept under the rug a bit.
When the press officer announced the end of the press conference. Otis. Smith breathed a sigh of relief. But Stan. Van Gundy's mission has just begun.
But the good news is that the Magic will have Christmas after tonight's game. The three-day break would give him plenty of time to think about the Magic's future tactics.
"Dwight, it's a pleasure to meet you, and I'm sure we can be very good friends." Lin Sen, who walked out of the conference room, met Howard and took the initiative to reach out his hand.
Howard was also surprised, but soon his trademark childlike smile appeared on his face: "Me too, how about I take you around Orlando after the evening game?" ”
"It's a deal, but now I'd rather see you kick Indiana's ass."
"Of course!" Howard said confidently.
Linson and Howard's friendly conversation also made Otis . Smith and Stan. Van Gundy was relieved.
Two minutes later, Lin Sen appeared on the Magic bench in a suit.
This is the first time that Lin Sen has appeared on the sidelines of the Magic game as a member of the Magic team, watching the game up close.
As a result of Linson's trade, the Magic currently have only eight players on the court. This somewhat gave Indiana Pacers head coach Carlisle confidence in winning the game.
However, the course of the game was not at all what Carlisle had expected, and it went in the opposite direction.
Perhaps it was Linson's arrival that made Howard feel a sense of crisis, and Howard asked for singles in a row at the beginning of the first quarter.
In the face of O'Neal Howard Jr., he played exceptionally tough, scored consecutive forced dunks, and even made bad free throws in the first quarter to achieve a super high shooting percentage of 6 of 8 free throws.
And Tekoglu and Grant. Hill was also a great performer, with the Magic scoring 34 points in the first quarter with just eight players, while the Pacers scored just 20 points.
Dwight. Howard had 14 points, 6 rebounds and 3 blocks in the first quarter, while O'Neal Jr., the Pacers' leading player, only had 4 points and 2 rebounds.
By the end of the first half, Howard had a double-double of 20 points and 11 rebounds, and the game went into garbage time at the end of the third quarter.
The entire center of the water house became a sea of joy. Carlisle sat down with a grim face and said nothing.
When the game was over, Carlisle walked straight into the tunnel of the players.
Howard played just 28 minutes in the game and had 27 points, 15 rebounds and 6 blocks. And Turk Tekoglu 21 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists. Hill also had 22 points, nine rebounds and four assists.
Other players Carlos. Arroyo, Kenyon. Durin and Milicic also scored in double figures, which made Magic fans realize that the original team was not so unbearable.
"Chris, how's it going?" David. Falke took the initiative to ask, and Otis on the side. Smith looked at Webb expectantly, too.
"Very good indeed, I'll give you an answer tomorrow."
"We can be willing to provide a ......"
Webb interrupted Otis. Smith's words: "Otis, do you think money matters? If I want, even if it's just my veteran's basic salary. ”
Hearing Weber's words, David. Falck and Otis. Smith looked at each other and smiled.
"Wow, Wood, she's your ......" performance and leading the team to victory also made Howard as active as ever, and Linson also felt the different atmosphere of the Magic locker room and the Timberwolves locker room.
"Dwight, she's my sister." After Lin Sen finished speaking, he turned to look at Carolina.
"Sister KK, you go back to the hotel first, I don't have to wait for me to go out with them."
"Hope you're having fun!" Carolina said that she left, while Linson waited for Howard in the locker room.
"Wood, does your sister have a boyfriend?"
Howard's locker and Lin Sen's locker were close together, Howard's voice was not small, not only Lin Sen heard it, but others also heard it, and Lin Sen, who was holding Howard's PSP, immediately stopped. (To be continued......)
