In the latest regular season MVP rankings in early April, rookie Lin Sen is still at the top.

The leader of the Dallas Mavericks, who is second to the league's record, Dirk. Nowitzki, Phoenix Suns' Steve. Nash, San Antonio Spurs' Tim. Duncan and the Cleveland Cavaliers' LeBron. James finished fifth.

As a rookie, Lin Sen has been in the top 10 MVP almost all season, and has been in the top five for a long time, which is almost inconceivable for a rookie.

Although Lin Sen is one of the popular candidates for the regular season MVP in the eyes of the media, and he is a well-deserved MVP in the eyes of Orlan Multimedia, most of the media still look at it rationally.

After all, Dirk. Nowitzki and two-time regular season MVP Steve. Nash is also in hot form, and Linson has no advantage at all in the comparison of records, let alone Tim. Duncan, a guy who has been the same for ten years.

Compared with the regular season MVP, Linson has not fallen on the list of best rookies since he became the first player, and he has always been ranked by Brandon of the Portland Trail Blazers. Roy.

Although the season is not over yet, everyone knows that there is no suspense for Lin Sen to win the best rookie, the only suspense is what kind of vote Lin Sen can get to the top, and some media even joke that Lin Sen will become the player who won the best rookie with a unanimous vote again.

The media in Orlando has long been busy, building momentum for Linsen in the selection of the awards. Smith even burned Linson's season highlights on disc and sent them to media outlets that were eligible to vote.

The playoffs are getting closer and closer, and the competition for playoff spots is getting more and more fierce.

On April 5, after a day off, the Orlando Magic flew away to meet the 2006-2007 season Zuihou back-to-back. And this back-to-back will challenge the Los Angeles duo who are working hard for a playoff spot.

The Magic will take on the Los Angeles Clippers on April 6. Then challenge the Los Angeles Lakers. At present, the Los Angeles Clippers and Los Angeles Lakers are only half a win.

The Los Angeles Lakers are seventh, the Golden State Warriors are eighth, and the Los Angeles Clippers are ninth.

[I made a mistake in the previous chapter, the Nuggets and Lakers should be ranked seventh and eighth, sorry!] With just half a win separating the three teams, the sixth-placed Denver Nuggets narrowly opened the gap with a three-game winning streak in April.

The Hornets and Timberwolves, who are ranked 10th and 11th, were temporarily pulled away by a win and a half because of the loss.

For the Los Angeles duo, it's natural that they want to win and consolidate their record while being as playoff as possible.

"The Biggest Stirring Stick Strikes" - Los Angeles Times: "In a suffocating moment, the Orlando Magic is coming." No one wants the Orlando Magic to walk away with the win for Los Angeles, and while the Orlando Magic have a great record, the good news is that the Orlando Magic are rotating their roster and this is a great opportunity for us in Los Angeles. ”

As the Los Angeles Times put it, the Magic, who are resting in the rotation to try to get the team a better rest, is a great opportunity for the Los Angeles duo.

But there are people who don't want the Magic to take a rotation, like the Hornets in 10th place and the Timberwolves in 11th.

Hornets coach Byron. "Stan is a coach with a work ethic, they have a chance to be second in the East, and I'm sure he's not going to give up on the game, which is the professionalism that the NBA should have, and I'm bullish on Orlando," Scott said publicly. They're going to make a big difference in the playoffs. ”

And as Linsen's good buddy Chris. Speaking to reporters before the game against the Utah Jazz, who are fifth in the West, Paul bluntly said, "I've told Wood that I want him to give his all to take the win." For us, we have to try to win every game and hope that the opponent doesn't win, so I called him. ”

"How did Wood reply? Will Orlando continue to rotate? ”

"I can't interfere with that, and neither can Wood, it's Stan. Van Gundy's setup, but Wood told me he was going to do his best and I think that was enough to have him and I was sure he wouldn't let me down. "Chris. Paul replied with a smile.

Chris. In the game against the Jazz, Paul scored 33 points and 13 assists to lead the team to defeat the Jazz, who are in fifth place, and continue to put pressure on the team in front of him.

And the 11th Timberwolves, head coach Devin. Casey spoke about the Orlando Magic for the first time since Linson's departure: "Orlando is a young team with energy and quality, they have the ability to beat any team in this league, and Wood will be one of the best players on the planet in the future, I'm glad I coached him, I'm sure he will play every game seriously, we have beaten the Los Angeles Clippers with Wood's excellent performance, I think he has the ability to lead the Magic to beat the Clippers." ”

Lin Sen's former boss Kevin. Garnett also said that Linson is a talented player, and the Timberwolves are in a bad situation at the moment and need the Clippers to lose.

'I don't know what he said, but for us we have only one belief and that is to defend our home turf!' Captain Elton who has returned from injury. Brand said with a swear.

As the team's main point guard, Sam, the alien who caused trouble for Linsen during his first encounter with Linson. Kassel also said: "The Clippers are ready to win. ”

The Los Angeles Magic really want to win, after all, only a win can maintain pressure on the Warriors and Magic in front of them, and create greater hope for the team to enter the playoffs.

This battle of focus also attracted ESPN's live broadcast in the United States.

The Los Angeles Clippers, who were one game away from reaching the Western Conference finals last season, have been working hard to go further in the new season, and the Los Angeles Clippers, who are regarded by media experts as having a strong enough roster to rank fourth in the West, started the new season with a decent performance.

However, after most of the season's adjustments, the Clippers are still tepid, and they have continued to rank ninth in the West until now. However, Elton missed two weeks. Brand is undoubtedly their biggest support.

"Although. Orlando is now just one win away from Cleveland. But Stan, who had put Dwight back in the starting lineup, stuck with the first two games, apparently not caring if the team finished second, and his approach undoubtedly broke Minnesota and New Orleans. Hoffman said as he looked at the starting list on the big screen.

"But better than the first two games, Stan put them on the team's playing list, but God knows if he will let Chris. Webb: They sat on the bench all day. "Bill. Wharton said with a smile.

In front of the TV watching the game Devon. Casey and Byron. Scott all showed a helpless expression, they hoped that the Orlando Magic would go all out, but the truth still disappointed them.

And the process of the game made the Timberwolves and Hornets almost desperate. Paul looked at Lin Sen on the TV screen, swearing and swearing. Because Lin Sen's performance tonight was really bad.

The Los Angeles Clippers are aiming for a win to get Corey. Margeti started the game and allowed Margeti, who was good at scoring, to give up scoring and go all out to mark Linson, in addition to Livingston constantly guarding Linsen on the sidelines.

The Los Angeles Clippers' heavy roster has limited Linson's play, and the other players' desire to win is much worse than the Clippers.

The Orlando Magic couldn't open the game, and Stan. Van Gundy could only get the ball to Dwight inside. Howard's hands.

Dwight. Howard's personal data has improved significantly since Linson joined this season, and his average points per game have reached 20 points for the first time in his career.

Dwight. Howard had his back to protect the ball, and under the tactical arrangement he decided to play alone, as one of the representative players of the 03 generation, Chris. Carman was behind Howard.

Compared to Howard, Chris. Carman is more of a traditional center, and Howard's strong play didn't push Kaman away. Howard, who couldn't resist Carman, directly took a forced step and jumped up and hooked his hand.

Unfortunately, he forgot that there was also a captain Elton on his side. Brand. Although Brand is only 2.03 tall, Brand is indeed a hot pot master, especially in the ability to assist in defense is incomparable, when the ball just left Howard's palm, Brand who assisted in defense jumped up and slapped the ball out directly.

Alien Sam. Cassel grabbed the basketball and immediately went down, and Livingston on the other side went down at the same time.

Lin Sen, who defended two and defended, was finally scored by Livingston's layup.

"Dwight's back-to-back offensive ability is terrible, he has to work on his offensive ability, and he can't think that his offensive ability is good because he averages more than 20 points per game, since Wood joined Orlando his scoring has become a lot easier, Dwight has to realize how dependent he is on his teammates to help him, and he has to work harder to be a haode center."

As one of the legendary centers, Bill. Wharton said as he looked at Howard, who was clapping his hands in frustration.

Dwight Howard, who averaged 20.4 points and 12.4 rebounds per game this season, was eye-catching, and Fagan, a well-known agent off the court, contacted Howard and told Howard that he could help Howard go further, but this is not mentioned later.

Linson couldn't help but complain that Margeti and Livingston were really irritating him tonight, and although the whole team didn't care about the victory, Linson still wanted to win.

He doesn't care about the Clippers' life or death, what he cares about is his good buddy Paul, and he still hopes that he can help Paul's Hornets.

Margeti's height advantage made him restless, and with the hidden little movements, Lin Sen was very depressed.

Linson handed the ball to Tekoglou and made a gesture to start running, but Margeti and Livingston crossed again and Livingston headed in front of Linson, who had regained the pass.

Lin Sen reluctantly passed the ball out, but Staples immediately burst into cheers with Azubuuk's glorious shot from Azubuike, who had performed well in the previous game.

Offensive and defensive transitions, Sam. Kassel put the ball in the hands of Margeti, who chose to play with his back to Linson.

Although Lin Sen Liliang has improved significantly, he is still not too sure in the face of Margeti's singles.

Margeti looked at a dark elbow, and Lin Sen had to take a step back in pain.

With that, Margeti turned and jumped up and threw the ball.

Linson's hurried defense didn't bother Margeti, and the ball jumped past Linsen's fingers and drilled into the basket amid the cheers of the audience.

With just eight minutes to go, the Orlando Magic are 14 points behind the Los Angeles Clippers at home.

"Stan has to do something else, if he needs this win, of course, and if he doesn't care, it doesn't matter." Hoffman said.

"Yes, but judging by Stan's expression, he still wants to win this game, after all, the Clippers' defense has caused a lot of problems for the Magic, which is likely to give other teams a wake-up call on how to deal with them, so he should adjust.

Otherwise, there is no way to score, what the Magic need now is to score, I personally feel that Stan will still let Lin get back into shape, in fact, it is a very good way to cover for Wood, maybe that will allow Wood to play. "Bill. Wharton continued.

As noted by Bill. As Wharton said, Stan. Although Van Gundy doesn't care about winning the game, he cares about the team's state, especially the state of the Clippers' high-intensity defense, and he doesn't want the team to be in this state in the playoffs, which is not what he wants to adjust the team's lineup.

With a dead ball chance, Stan. Van Gundy switched Linson to the side and explained that in the first quarter of the game, Stan. Van Gundy didn't care anymore, and he hoped that his setup would make a difference in the second quarter.

"No problem!" Linsen nodded, he was 90% sure that Van Gundy's arrangement would lead the team out.

"What Stan is talking about, maybe he's found a way, and if that's the case, it's not good news for the Los Angeles Clippers who play at home, even though they're now 14 points ahead." Hoffman said with a smile.

When the first quarter ended, the Orlando Magic trailed the Clippers by 15-31 by 16 points, and such a lead filled Clippers fans with confidence.

"We need to score, I don't necessarily want to win, but I want your form, I need you to be the best you can get ahead of the playoffs, not to be in a situation where I can't look at it and start the second quarter ......." Stan. Van Gundy kept drawing.

"When Wood comes on, I need you to change your style of play and execute the 'Wood' tactic." Stan. Van Gundy said, glancing at the team.

Everyone looked at Linson, and the "Wood" tactic was Stan. Named after Van Gundy, a tactic with Linsen as the absolute protagonist.

"Coach, rest assured, I will not disappoint you." Lin Sen said confidently and slowly. (To be continued......)
