Chapter 341: Finals MVP! 【2nd Update】
Ask for recommended tickets and commuter passes! The future of Wood is bright!
――
Tony. Parker looked at the still shaking Nets, with a helpless look of disbelief, but the score on the big screen was so real.
108:97, from just 8 points to 11 points now, and that rookie will also go to the free throw line to add free throws.
"You've signed a good player!" David. Stern raised his glass to David. Falck gave a greeting.
"Isn't Wood from the NBA?" David. Falke said with a smile as he raised his glass.
"In this way, we are a win-win situation." David. Stern said with a smile, while Bill. Russell sighed in his heart the madness of Lin Sen, a rookie, and looked at David. Stern also mentally identified David before he was determined. Stern privately told him about the incident, looking at the 45-point Bill that was conspicuous on the big screen. The discomfort in Russell's heart dissipated.
"Maybe another legend." Bill. Russell looked at Lin Sen, who was frantically swinging his fists and roaring on the field, and muttered softly.
"Playing four points, this is the fourth time Wood has scored four points in the playoffs this season, and it is also the most critical and important one, and this four points will determine this round of the Finals that should not be watched to enter the seventh battle of life and death." Kenny. Smith said.
Popovich's timeout couldn't bring the Spurs fans out of their frustration, and Parker was even more disappointed.
"It's terrible, Yu Jia, I'm just like you, really...... Huh! Yang Yi sighed.
Also sighing is Li Wei, the president of the Basketball Association, but everything is a foregone conclusion, and he is ready to face all the consequences.
"Tony. Are you scared of a rookie? Did you not perform well in the first few games? It's just that this one you fouled too early. Popovich said, staring at Parker. Although he was tough on Parker during the game. But after all, it was in the previous game and not the current situation, and he didn't want Parker to lose confidence because of this game, and if that was the case, Game 7 would be another tough game for the Spurs.
If Parker doesn't lose faith, he believes the Spurs still have a good chance of winning Game 7.
Parker looked up at his mentor, the man who had taken him from a little boy to a league star: "I won't, I'll definitely come back next time!" Parker said through gritted teeth.
"Coming back from the timeout, if Woodgar hits a free throw, then Orlando will lead San Antonio by as many as 12 points. With just 95 seconds left until the end of the race, unless a miracle happens, ......"
"Kenny, do you think there will be a miracle?" Barkley unceremoniously interrupted Kenny. Smith's words.
As Barkley said, the Spurs failed to pull off miracles.
The moment the whistle blew, the Magic team was as excited as if they were champions.
"I can't wait for the seventh race to start." Barkley said as he looked at Linson, who was surrounded by his teammates.
"In two days, the O'Brien Cup will decide where it really belongs." Kenny. Smith said as he looked at the O'Brien Cup in the tunnel of the players' tunnel.
The night was undoubtedly bitter for the San Antonio people, who could not have imagined that they would be dragged into the seventh game of life and death by the Orlando Magic, which meant that Zuihou would decide the championship, and if there was any accident, it would be like losing these three games. At this moment, they didn't dare to think about it at all.
"Wood, excuse me wait."
A familiar voice crept into Lin Sen's ears from behind. Lin Sen stopped and turned around.
Still a black ladies' casual suit playing board Erin. Andrews looked at Lin Sen with a smile on his face: "Congratulations on winning the game." ”
"Fortunately, the results are not bad." Lin Sen said with a smile, while Carolina and Natalie. Portman also walked over.
Erin. Andrews looked at Carolina and Natalie as they walked by. A sly smile flashed across Portman's lips, and he quipped softly, "You seem to be a little nervous." ”
Before Lin Sen could reply, Carolina and Natalie. Portman has come to the side.
"Wipe your sweat, I won't care about you wiping it, I'll go with them first, don't forget to call me when you're done." Carolina helped Lin Sen wipe his back, and then put the large towel on Lin Sen's left hand.
"You take a shower early, don't freeze, I'm leaving." Natalie. Portman shoved the Gatorade drink into Linson's right hand and looked up to see that Linsen showed no signs of wanting to leave.
Lin Sen could completely feel Erin. Andrews' appearance, looking at Natalie with her head up. Portman Linson bows his head at Natalie. Portman gave him a soft kiss on the cheek, "I'll get to you later." ”
Natalie. Portman glanced at Erin. Andrews smiled slightly and said hello, then looked at Lin Sen.
Lin Sen read a trace of dissatisfaction in her eyes, obviously she didn't want Lin Sen to kiss her cheek, but Natalie. Portman quickly turned and left with Carolina.
"It seems that they have already helped me list as rivals."
"How so." Lin Sen said helplessly, but he knew that what they wanted to express was what they meant.
"I'm a woman, and a woman's instincts can't be wrong, don't you know? My big star. "Erin. Andrews glared at Lin Sen, such a mature woman glared at him like this is another temptation.
"Eh, it's a pity that I haven't reached that point yet, you say I'm not wronged, forget it, I won't tease you." Andrews finished with a smile, and the expression on his face changed, "You scored 48 points in this game, once again setting a new high for your personal playoff score, and this score not only became the fifth highest score in the history of the NBA Finals, but also set a new record for the sixth game of the NBA Finals. ”
"48 points? I don't feel much about that, of course I'm not saying I don't care about scoring, but it's so intense that I don't think about anything else at all. If the team needs me to score, then I score. Of course, all this is inseparable from teammates. I wouldn't have been able to score so much in a one-on-two-one-three-on-one situation without them, so I can't say I'm doing it on my own, as cool as that sounds. Lin Sen said with a smile.
"48 points, it's the fourth time you've scored more than 40 in six finals games, and a lot of people say it's a sign of your lack of support from your teammates, don't you think? Orlando has a lot of salary headroom this summer, would you give some advice to management? ”
'We do have a lot of shortcomings at the moment, I'm the leader of the team, so I'll step up when the team needs me, we're still a young team and we need to grow. This Grand Final is the best opportunity for us to learn and grow, and Otis and I talked about it, but I can't tell you at the moment. ”
"Okay, can you talk about them? You've been the focus of the nation's attention, and you're used to living in the spotlight, but like these two days, I think you should be seeing it for the first time. ”
"They?"
"Uh-huh, you should know who I'm talking about." Andrews raised an eyebrow and smiled.
"I didn't know they were coming to cheer me on, they were invited by Sister KK and I thank them for coming, they were one of the key factors in our win tonight. Because with their help, I feel like it's not an away game, it's a home game. ”
"Is it just a friend?" Andrews quipped, his eyes staring straight at Lin Sen.
Lin Sen dodged Andrews' longing eyes: "What about you?" ”
After wrapping up the post-match interview. Linson returned to the locker room and immediately entered the bathroom, and when he came out, he followed Stan. Van Gundy attended the post-game press conference, where he was undoubtedly in the spotlight again, and the reporters focused more on the beauties who cheered him on the sidelines rather than his 48 points on the court.
After everything was over, Lin Sen followed the team bus back to the hotel, and Carolina put the banquet to cheer for Lin Sen in the French restaurant on the fourth floor of the hotel.
The entire French restaurant is covered by Carolina and Natalie. Portman wrapped, even if there were previous conflicts between the two sides such as Lindsay. Lohan and Miley. Cyrus also put aside the barrier for the time being and did not make trouble.
As for the unscrupulous reporters who were expecting Lin Sen and the beauties who had just been involved, something happened but it didn't happen.
This made the reporters inside and outside the hotel who tried everything to get first-hand information very frustrated, and Lin Sen just drank a glass of red wine to thank him and was left the restaurant and returned to his room.
The next day's news was overwhelming with last night's news, and in addition to the game, the headlines of the major media were undoubtedly placed on Lin Sen's support group.
Under the propaganda of some reporters, Lin Sen seems to have a tendency to develop the whole of Hollywood and Victorian supermodels into his own harem.
Scarlett, who took a two-day leave from the crew. Johnson didn't expect the Magic to really beat the Spurs and drag the Finals into Game 7, but no matter how big she is, she can't let the whole crew wait for her, especially since the director of this movie is still Woody. Alan, so at ten o'clock in the morning she left San Antonio.
When she arrived at the Los Angeles airport to catch a flight to Barcelona, she was stopped by reporters, and was undoubtedly asked about her relationship with Lin Sen.
"No, Wood and I are just friends, we've just met, so there's no way I'm talking about that."
"Do you mean that you can't rule out the possibility of further development in the future?"
"Hey man, do you want me to duel Nata? I have to go! "Scarlett. Johnson smiled and waved his hand away.
This reporter for American Entertainment, James . Mette wrote on his Twitter: "Wood is not as good as Woody. ”
And Adriana. Lima also flew to Brazil because of his mother's sudden illness, which also made those who support Spurs can't help but rejoice, because everyone knows that Lima is Linsen's goddess of victory, as long as Lima supports Linsen in the game so far, he has not lost a game.
Even the Los Angeles Times counted Adriana. Lima cheered for Linson on the spot a total of 26 times, and in those 26 times, Linson not only did not lose the game but was in exceptionally good form, averaging 29.8 points and 12.4 assists per game.
"I hope Adriana's mom is okay and as for the next game I will do my best with my teammates, no matter what the result is, I think we won't regret it if we try hard." Lin Sen, who finished training, said in an interview.
The seventh, which also meant a battle of life and death, was hardly expected before the finals began. No one believed that the Magic would play and still retain the possibility of winning the O'Brien Cup.
23 June 2007. 8 p.m. This is a moment that all Shijie basketball fans are paying attention to, because at this moment the seventh game of the 2006-2007 season finals will be played.
And in two-and-a-half to three hours, the championship winner for this season will be decided.
Behind the Orlando Magic bench and next to him is the Linson support group that has attracted countless press films, and Eva has a lot more people than in the last game.
Whether it's the Spurs or the Magic, everyone's face is different from the past, especially the Orlando Magic, the players have shown nervousness and uneasiness since the morning Zuihou's physiotherapy.
Even though they've had been used to six games before, it's still the case, and it's up to Stan. No amount of comfort from Van Gundy's coaching staff has been able to dispel the mentality of the players.
Pre-game. David. Stern placed the championship trophy O'Brien Cup in the middle of the players' tunnel, and the O'Brien Cup in the spotlight was particularly dazzling, which is the highest honor that the league has fought for.
After the start of the game, few Magic players who had experienced the life-and-death battle of the playoffs, let alone the life-and-death battle in the finals, showed their lack of experience, and after the opening game under huge pressure, the Magic was beaten by the Spurs with a wave of 10-0 climax.
Stan. Van Gundy had to call a timeout while making substitution adjustments that would be experienced Chris. Webb and Scotty, who barely played much in the Finals. Pippen was put on the field.
Webb and Pippen's play-ups changed a bit, but trailing by 10 points in the opening period left the Magic with a heavy burden to begin with.
Tony, who dragged the Spurs back because of a foul in the last game. Parker tore through the Magic's defense again and again, and Tim. Duncan has re-transformed into the stone Buddha that played steadily.
In five of the first six games, Linson played exceptionally well, and under the double package of Spurs, Parker and Ginobili, coupled with the lack of strong support from teammates, Linsen played very average, which was undoubtedly fatal to the Magic.
In the first quarter, the Magic's defense allowed the Spurs to score a whopping 36 points, while the Magic themselves scored only 20 points.
Throughout the first half, the Magic couldn't find too much of a feeling. At the end of the first half, the Spurs extended their lead to 22 points, and that margin led most people to believe that the Spurs would have little problem winning the game.
In the first half, Linson hit just three of his 10 shots. He scored just nine points, which was nothing short of the previous games in which he scored 20 points in the first half.
However, Linson, like several other games that did not play well in the first half, exploded in the third quarter, hitting four three-pointers in the third quarter and scoring 17 points in a single quarter.
Plus Chris. Webb scored 12 points on 5-of-5 shooting in the first quarter, and the Orlando Magic recovered a 10-point deficit in the third quarter, and the Orlando Magic entered the fourth quarter with a 12-point difference.
"A 12-point difference, which doesn't seem like a big difference, but it's not easy for the seasoned Spurs to catch up, even though Orlando pulled back 10 points in a single quarter." Kenny. Smith said as he looked at the big screen at the scene.
"Kenny, I hate to admit it, but I want to say that you are right, the Spurs didn't take it to heart in the third quarter, and Greg was still making a big adjustment, and it was clear that he wanted to end the suspense of the game in the fourth quarter." Barkley said helplessly.
Popovich put Duncan and Ginobili on the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and the Magic, who managed to recover 10 points in the third quarter, went from trailing by 12 points to 17 points in just two minutes.
"Stan, I'm going to play!" Lin Sen looked at Stan. Van Gundy said.
Stan. Van Gundy nodded and agreed to Linsen's request, and after coming on the court, Linsen did not go to individual singles, but kept using the cover of his teammates to run and find opportunities.
"Wood, hit another three-pointer, his fourth three-pointer in the fourth quarter, but the Magic still trailed the Spurs by as many as 14 points, and Orlando didn't have much time left." Kenny. Smith watched Lin Sen, who hit a three-pointer and immediately returned to the defense without even celebrating.
Lin Sen's pace on the court was obviously much slower, and Lin Sen's number of singles was pitiful until now in the fourth quarter, while Chris, who scored 21 points in the first three quarters of Magic's offensive performance. Webb's feel also cooled down.
Lin Sen had to shoot more, keep running and shooting.
Tim. Duncan, Ginobili, Tony. Parker's GDP is so powerful that the Magic's defense is poked into holes.
"Manu goes straight to the basket." Barkley's tone was full of helplessness, and as soon as he caught up with three points, Ginobili responded with a score.
With two minutes left in the game, Linson was in the field of Bruce. Bowen's foul was accompanied by a tenacious move to the basket.
Lin Sen, who had fallen heavily on the floor, gasped for breath, this was the first time he really felt alone, he had never been so eager for victory, but so helpless.
Boom!
Linson's fist slammed into the floor, and after the penalty was shot, Linson rejected Stan. Van Gundy made the decision to replace him and played until the moment Zuihou.
Lin Sen, who made 35 crazy shots in the game, scored the third-highest 43 points in the playoffs, and when the full-court whistle blew, Lin Sen closed his eyes and felt that something was going to fall in his eyes, and Lin Sen knew that it was tears.
"Smack!"
A big hand wrapped around his shoulders, Lin Sen opened his eyes and raised his head, and it was Tim who caught his eye. Duncan.
"Tim, congratulations on your third championship." Lin Sen squeezed out a smile.
"Hehe, don't be discouraged, this is your first season." Duncan laughed and rubbed Linson's hair, "The future of the NBA is yours!" ”
"I'll do my best, and sooner or later I'll pick him up!" Lin Sen looked at the O'Brien Cup in the distance and said firmly.
"You will!" Duncan said with a smile.
Just as Lin Sen was about to leave, the staff stopped Lin Sen: "Wood, don't leave for the time being." ”
“weishenme?”
"You're going to go up and claim your award after the championship ceremony."
"Claim the prize?"
"Yes, Finals MVP! You are the second special case in the entire history! (To be continued......)
