At 45:56, the score on the big screen made the Orlando fans at the scene a little incredulous.

Before the game, almost all fans thought that the team would be able to win against the New Jersey Nets, but the game actually went completely different from what they expected.

However, the 11-point difference is not too big, as long as the team can adjust well at halftime, there is still a good chance.

"34-year-old Jason. Kidd made Wood, who was 14 years his junior. Lin suffered, and regular-season stats showed that Wood and Jason played three times, all for Orlando.

Orlando has a 2-1 record in three games, and Wood is averaging 22 points, 8 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals per game.

Still, that stat looks pretty good, but when we compare it to his season-per-game averages, it's clear that Wood isn't as good as he is against Jason. ”

Bill. Wharton looked at Hoffman: "Yes, that's true, especially Jason's experience is far beyond Wood's comparison, and Jason's body can also cause trouble for Wood."

Plus Vince's timely defense tonight so Wood played a bit badly in the first half, and I believe the recent rumours did affect him somewhat, what do you think about this, for or against? ”

"I don't think there's anything wrong with that, Wood is now an American citizen, so Weishenme is not eligible to enter the national team, as for how Wood will choose, that is his own freedom, we have no right to interfere, in the end, many people still have a serious discrimination mentality in their hearts, so they will try their best to oppose it."

In the home locker room, Lin Sen was shirtless. Stan. Van Gundy stood in front of the tactical board.

'In the first half we played very passively. But I can understand that. We're still a rookie compared to them, but it's our home stadium, and even if we lose, we have to play our own characteristics, not to mention that we don't necessarily lose. "Stan. Van Gundy glanced at the team, and Zuihou's gaze stayed on Lin Sen's body.

Now Lin Sen's upper body is much more tangible than the Lin Sen he saw in the draft, and the muscle mass on his arm is the most haode proof.

"Wood, how are you feeling?"

Linson looked up at Stan. Van Gundy: "Coach I'm fine, it's a little bit more stressful than in the regular season, but I think I can adapt. ”

"That's good!" Van Gundy nodded. Although Linson did not play well in the first half, it was much better than at the beginning, after all, the team was still too young except for Webber Rodman and Pippen.

Although he imagined that Lin Sen and Howard would grow up all at once, he knew that this was not realistic.

Even if he loses, he can accept it as a manager, but the key is that the team can learn and improve after the loss.

Van Gundy didn't change his tactics too much, after all, the team's main problem in the first half was still too young, and the rhythm of the playoffs and the regular season was completely different.

"Dennis, you and Scotty are ready to play in the third quarter." Van Gundy said as he looked at Pippen and Rodman.

The pair didn't play in the first half, and Van Gundy intended to put the experienced Pippen and Rodman on the court in the third quarter, so that even if the team didn't adjust in the third quarter, their experience would undoubtedly help the team when they got on the court. This helps the team grow.

"No problem, I've had enough of sitting in the chair." Rodman Daxiao said.

The atmosphere in the visiting dressing room was lively. Nets head coach Lawrence. Frank smiled and clapped his hands: "Guys, now is not the time to celebrate the victory, there is a second half, keep working hard in the second half and celebrate again." ”

"Yes, let them see who should be the celebrators after the victory." Vince. Carter said with a smile.

"We will not interfere with Wood's choice, and how he chooses is his own decision, whether he chooses China or the United States." Otis. Smith looked at Li Wei beside him and said.

"I know, but I still want you to help me talk about it, you should know that for the United States, there is no shortage of players like Wood, but for China, we urgently need a good player, which is the wish of the 1.3 billion people in China, especially when we host the Olympics on our home stadium next year."

"I understand, I'll do my best." Otis. Smith nodded.

In addition to Otis in the box. Smith is Li Wei, Wang Lin and Liu Li, Wang Lin looked at the figure on the side of the court and felt moved, he had also played with foreign women, but the woman in front of him was far from what he had ever met, and the other party did not reply to the text message yesterday, which made him feel incredible.

In his feeling, although foreign women are not as open as ordinary people think, they should not refuse the opportunity to help them too much for artists, and now that the Chinese economy is developing rapidly, more and more foreigners want to open the Chinese market, so he wants to touch Carolina's heart through that text message.

If Carolina's woman agreed to him, he was absolutely confident that this woman would become a first-line star in China, and he believed that he had this ability, although he was just a side branch of the Wang family, the founder of China.

Wang Lin only cared about these things in his mind, and he was thinking about Li Wei and Otis. Smith's conversation didn't take it to heart at all, and he didn't think a player could make any big waves.

As for whether he can enter the Chinese men's basketball team, he doesn't care, and he believes that smart people should know how to choose.

And is Lin Sen a smart person? Obviously yes, but what will Linson choose, at least for now, Linson has not made his attitude clear to anyone, as he said, the playoffs are all that matter at the moment.

The twenty-minute halftime break passed quickly, and the Magic players walked out of the tunnel amid the cheers of the fans in the Water House Center.

"Come on Wood, you're the best!"

"Wood, welcome to Team USA."

"that bunch of New Jersey bunch of chowder."

“GO！ GO！ GO！ Long live in Orland. ”

Lin Sen high-fived the fans on both sides of the player as he ran, and in the past two days, Orlan Multimedia basically expressed support for any decision made by Lin Sen, and many people put up slogans outside his house hoping that he would join the American men's basketball team.

"The second half is about to start, and Orlando doesn't know how to adjust at halftime. Hopefully we can see a good second half. Hoffman said as he looked at the players from both sides who had walked to the sidelines.

"Yes. The wonderful game is the most rewarding for the fans. "Bill. Wharton said with a smile.

"Come on. You are the best! Carolina looked at Lin Sen in front of her, and then kissed Lin Sen on the cheek without hesitation.

Lin Sen didn't expect Carolina to take the initiative to kiss him, and his heart was more happy and happy than surprised.

How could the live director let go of such a picture, and the Orlando fans in the center of the water house also sent bursts of cheers, and they also expected Lin Sen to explode with Carolina's encouragement to lead the Magic to a comeback.

"Happy Wood, I hope Wood can show his due strength under Aiqing's Liliang." Bill. Wharton said with a smile.

"Hey, Bill, this is not aiqing, it's family affection." Hoffman quipped.

"You believe it?" Bill. Wharton asked rhetorically with a smile.

"What do you say?" Hoffman looked at Bill jokingly. Walton.

Li Wei in the box looked at this scene and smiled. Lin Sen's guy is really similar to the rumors, and the corners of Wang Lin's mouth on his side inadvertently rose.

With a whistle, Jason. Kidd took Kostic's serve and the second half officially kicked off.

Lin Sen stared at Kidd who dribbled to the frontcourt, and Kidd didn't dribble the ball too much but passed the ball directly to Vince. Carter.

In the first half, Carter scored a maximum of 17 points, and his excellent play in the first half made him full of confidence, and he jumped up in front of Azubuke without any adjustment, and Azubuke did not expect Carter to be so direct When Azubuke jumped, the ball in Carter's hand had flown out.

The ball got into the basket cleanly, making the fans at the scene depressed.

Vince scored at the start of the second half and it seemed that the first half was still as good as it could be. That's not good news for Orlando. ”

As Hoffman said, not being able to contain Carter's excellent feel is not good news for the Magic. After all, if you want to reverse, in addition to being able to score yourself, you also have to contain the opponent from scoring.

Linson took Howard's serve and took the ball across half court.

Carter's first shot in the second half was a pressure for the Magic, and if the Magic didn't score this time, it would undoubtedly affect the morale of the Magic, who had adjusted after the break.

And in the first half, except for Chris. Webber felt good, scored the Magic's highest 10 points, and everyone else felt average, Lin Sen thought about it for a while and decided to attack himself for the first time in the second half.

Approaching the three-point line little by little, Kidd, who made him very uncomfortable in the first half, stood on the three-point line and waited for him.

Kidd's body is not comparable to Lin Sen for the time being, and in addition to Kidd's experience is also incomparable to Lin Sen, Lin Sen's breakthrough in the first half was often blocked by Kidd, who has physical experience, so Lin Sen does not plan to go directly one-on-one.

Rushing to the inside of Chris. Webb made a gesture, and Webb immediately understood Linson's thoughts and ran directly to the free throw line.

Responsible for defending Chris. Webb's Collins immediately followed, and Chris Brown. Webb is not Dwight. Howard is no threat other than the three-second zone.

Seeing Weber pull out, Lin Sen pulled the ball with a large amplitude, and then directly forced one to speed up.

Kidd made a quick retreat but he was soon overrun by Chris. Webb blocked, and Collins immediately dropped Webb to cover Linson.

Collins is a 2.13 interior player, but his rebounding ability and offensive ability are almost negligible, and his biggest role in the Nets is defense.

However, his footsteps were the biggest problem, he just stuck to Lin Sen's footsteps, and then he lost control of Lin Sen.

Shaking off Collins, Linson threw the ball straight away.

The ball crossed an arc and then got into the basket cleanly.

The ball went into the basket and the fans at the Mizuya Center immediately applauded.

Switching offense and defense, Carter received the ball again, but he didn't make a shot and passed the ball to Richard. Jefferson, Jefferson's mid-range shot smashed the basket out.

Tekoglou grabbed the defensive rebound, and Linson didn't catch the ball but ran quickly to the frontcourt.

Jason. Kidd saw Linson running to the front court and immediately followed, and Tekoglou, who won the rebound, took the ball to the front court himself.

Tekoglou came up front with the ball and handed it to Linson.

Lin Sen placed the ball between his waist and abdomen with both hands. Looked up at Kidd's defense. Kidd's defensive position this time was slightly closer to him than last time.

And Vince. Carter was defending Azubuk, but he wasn't far from Linson. At a glance, you can come up at any time to make up for it.

Lin Sen took two tentative steps in a row, but Kidd didn't respond.

Another tentative step, Kidd still did not react, but at this time, Lin Sen directly raised the ball with both hands.

Kidd immediately raised his right hand and took a step forward, and Linson immediately took the ball and cut to the left side of Kidd's body with his left foot.

Seeing Lin Sen's movements, Kidd immediately took a step back, but at this time, Lin Sen slapped the ball with his right hand, and the ball passed through the gap between him and Kidd to his left hand, and at the same time, his right foot poked into the right side of Kidd's body.

Such a close change in the direction of the breakthrough made Kidd a little unexpected. When Kidd tried to defend, Linson had already cut through the right side of his body with an acceleration.

Richard on the other side. Jefferson was considering whether to throw away Tekoglou when Linson pulled the ball sideways when he was in charge.

"Wood didn't choose to hit the inside, does he want to shoot?" Hoffman said as he looked at Linson, who pulled the ball.

"Apparently." In Bill. Linson jumped as Wharton spoke.

With his right hand, he raised the ball high and looked at the basket in the distance to flick the ball out.

"Wood's pull-up jumper!" Hoffman shouted.

The ball quickly crossed an arc and fell straight to the basket.

Swish!

With a crisp scraping sound, the ball slammed through the net to the floor.

"Hit again, two goals in a row in the second half, and this time it's a pull-up jumper, which is rare, and the first goal of the day is also a pull-up jumper, is Wood going to save New Jersey with a jumper tonight? It's incredible to think about. "Bill. Wharton said with a smile.

Nets coach Frank on the sidelines also felt incredible, everyone knew how terrible Linson's rookie mid-range shooting was, and he didn't have a targeted defense of Linson's mid-range shooting at all.

In the practice before the game, he mainly focused on Linson's defensive setup outside the three-point line and under the basket. However, Linson had already made two mid-range shots tonight and had to be careful.

Frank decided to see if Lin Sen was still like that. He was ready to call a timeout and set up the defense in a targeted manner.

Switching offense and defense, Kidd took the ball to the frontcourt.

Kidd is a traditional playmaker who always has the primary purpose of organizing the team's offense, and the Nets immediately started running under Kidd's command.

Syllable!

I saw Kidd pull and push the ball, and the ball went directly through Lin Sen's body.

A blow to the ball went directly to Jefferson with the help of cover, and Linson quickly contracted the defense.

However, Jefferson made a direct return pass, which was completely unexpected by Lin Sen.

Kidd, who received Jefferson's return pass at the top of the arc, immediately lifted the ball up, and Linson pounced.

Linson's bouncing ability was beyond Kidd's imagination, and the ball he almost threw was blocked by Linson.

Clang!

After Linson landed, Kidd's throw smashed into the front of the basket and bounced out.

An lunge jumped, and Lin Sen easily accepted the defensive rebound.

Without any stop, Lin Sen directly pulled the ball and turned around and ran to the front court.

Kidd subconsciously stretched out his hand to block it, but was dodged by Lin Sen.

On the other side, Azubuk started at the same time, and Linsen double-lined.

Despite Vince. Carter quickly retreated, but it was still a little difficult to face Linsen and Azubuuk on both fronts.

Seeing that Lin Sen made a gesture of impacting the basket, he immediately pounced on Lin Sen, who passed the ball directly to Azubuk with a back pass, and Azubuk easily dunked the ball into the basket.

Honk!

The referee blew the whistle.

Lawrence couldn't stand up and was beaten by Orlando in three straight rounds, and although the team still led by seven points at 58-51, Orlando's morale was clearly up. Bill. Wharton said as he looked at Frank on the sidelines.

After three consecutive attacks, the entire Mizuya Center was completely different from the first half, and although the team was still seven points behind, Linson's performance in the second half convinced them that the deficit was only temporary.

“WOOD！ WOOD！ WOOD！ ”

A uniform cheer sounded in the center of the water house, and Li Wei in the box listened to the cheers belonging to Lin Sen, and his heart was even more eager to invite Lin Sen.

"It's a cheer for Wood, and although the second half has just begun, Wood's form has clearly recovered, and as the fans shouted, a resurgence of Wood is the team's hope for victory." Hoffman said.

After the timeout, the Nets did not hand the ball to the outside when the Magic were tight on the perimeter, but to Kostic on the inside.

Howard was the only one on the inside, one-on-one offense and defense, but Howard couldn't prevent Kostic's turnaround jumper.

Switching offense and defense, Linson handed the ball to Howard, who asked for the ball, and Howard directly hit Kostic.

However, Collins' rebound interfered with Howard's hook shot, and Kostic grabbed the rebound.

However, the Nets, who returned to the offensive end, failed to attack again, and Jefferson hit the interior and was slapped directly by Howard.

Linson got the ball that was fanned by Howard, but this time the Nets retreated quickly Linsen had to give up the plan of fast break.

The game continued, and although the Magic did not play a climax all at once, it ate away at the Nets' lead little by little, and when the game came to the seventh minute of the third quarter, the Nets, who led by 11 points in the first half, were now only leading by one point at 71-70.

"Is Wood still passing the ball this time? In the second half, apart from the offensive shots after the opening game, he was more engaged in the defense and helped the team with passes in the past few minutes, and I think Lawrence must have been frustrated that Wood did not get into the defensive tactics he customized for Wood, but instead used his defensive center of gravity to help his teammates continue to score. Hoffman looked at Linson, who had dribbled across the halfway line.

"I'll score my own goals this time!" Lin Sen pulled the ball away from Carter's pressing and said.

"Really? Let me see your botched offense! Carter responded with a smile and slammed into Lin Sen again.

"Who will I tell the clumsy!" Lin Sen's voice fell and rushed up. (To be continued......)
