Chapter 198: A Critical Moment

"Unbelievable goals, goals like this can be scored, Wood's luck is so good, Bill, you're right, God favors Wood too much, look at Ricky I have some sympathy for what happened to him from the bottom of my heart, maybe it's not a bad thing to not be active defensively."

Hoffman said as he watched the replay on the big screen.

Linsen, who was sitting on the floor, took Tekoglu and Azubuk's hands and stood up, still not celebrating.

And Stan. Van Gundy didn't have such evasion, rushed to the field and swung his fist hard in the chest, shouting "YES!" YES! ”

"If only we didn't trade Wood!"

"yes, but now it's a reality, and Wood is no longer our Wood."

Such conversations kept happening in the audience, and looking at Lin Sen's outstanding performance, the fans at the scene kept ringing the picture of Lin Sen helping the Timberwolves move forward, but all this was irreparable.

Devin asked for a timeout, and according to Wood's free throw percentage, Wood had no problem scoring four points this time, Orlando extended his lead to double digits for the first time, and once he came back from a timeout, Woodplus hit a free throw Orlando was likely to keep the lead in double digits until the first half, I don't know what Devin will do." Hoffman said, looking at the sidelines.

"Oh, who is that, a beautiful brunette in a man's trench coat, the collar of the trench coat is a little high to cover her face, but my instinct tells me that it is a beautiful woman, could it be Wood's compatriot, the damn director didn't catch it." Bill. Wharton's eyes immediately withdrew from the big screen and began to look for the seat that the live broadcast camera had just inadvertently scanned.

"Who?" Hoffman turned to look at Bill. Walton.

"I found it, right there, not far from the bench in Orlando. A beautiful woman with thick black hair. It would be nice to have a telescope. Damn it. ”

Bill. Wharton's appearance left Hoffman speechless for a while: "Hey, Bill, when did you become like that Charles guy." ”

"Absolutely not, I am fundamentally different from him, the collar of the trench coat is so high, he must be trying to hide something." Bill. Wharton beckoned to the crew, "Let the director move the camera to that film, which is the second row behind the Orlando bench." ”

The staff quickly brought the conversation to the ears of the live director, who immediately moved the camera from the bench of the two teams to Bill. The position that Wharton is referring to.

"Yes. It's this piece, let me take a good look at who it is. "Bill. Wharton behaved like a complete gossip enthusiast.

As the live broadcast camera zoomed in, Bill. Wharton saw the face obscured by the collar of a black trench coat.

"Oh, it's Adriana. Lima, I knew it must be a beauty, it must have something to do with Wood, no wonder God just favored Wood, the reason is here, Minnesotans will not forget the former goddess of victory, Lima, it is a pity that now she is on the scene and it is impossible for her to cheer for Minnesota. ”

The fans and reporters in front of the stadium and all the people watching the game in front of the TV found another highlight. Everyone knows that not long ago, Lin Sen played the role of a negative man in Orlando, making his so-called sister Carolina go straight to anger.

Although Carolina and Lin Sen tried their best to deny it afterwards. But no one believes that Carolina's sudden departure is just because of work, everyone knows that Carolina was declared to be sued by the other party in order to fly to the United States to accompany Lin Sen to release the endorser's pigeons.

In just a few days, Lin Sen once again threw away Amber, who staged the Orlando pursuit. Hielde is once again hooking up with Carolina's best friend Lima, which can't help but excite gossip lovers in front of the TV.

"Adriana, is she really?"

Carolina listened to Du Chen. Kolos's words, turned his head: "Who knows, but I think it's very likely, but Wood didn't tell me, so DD, don't you have to be burdened, didn't you find that the other women are all taking the initiative?" Do you expect me to help you all the time? ”

"But I ......"

"But what, don't you like Wood? If you like it, chase it boldly, everyone knows how welcoming that kid is, if you don't take the initiative, can you expect him to look back and think of you from a large number of women? It's unrealistic, and you have to know that you're no worse than any of them. ”

Carolina tried her best to persuade Du Chen. Kolos took the initiative, but she found that she didn't feel good at all.

"Is that true?" Carolina's heart once again remembered the tears that suddenly came from when she flew from Orlando to Los Angeles some time ago, and she thought of Natalie again. Portman's words as he said goodbye to her: "Don't go against your heart, or you'll be miserable." ”

Carolina shook her head and forced herself to focus on the computer, while Du Chen on the side. Kolos was also lost in thought thinking about Carolina's words, so he didn't notice Carolina's strangeness.

At this moment, Carolina's male fans kept leaving messages on Lin Sen's Twitter, despising and even insulting Lin Sen's behavior.

Bill. Wharton's desire for self-gossip directly made Lin Sen despised and jealous by countless men again, and Lin Sen on the field didn't know all this.

Timeout back, Ricky. Davis was replaced by Bogans.

Lin Sen stood at the free throw line, and the fans at the target center still didn't give any boos.

After receiving the referee's serve, with a simple adjustment, Lin Sen steadily sent the ball into the basket.

"Added free throws, Wood successfully hit four points, Orlando has extended the lead to 12 points with more than a minute left in the first half, and Wood has also personally improved his single-game scoring record in his Magic career to 24 points, and the first half is not over at the moment, Wood's offensive desire tonight is too strong, he almost single-handedly broke the entire Minnesota defense."

"I think Wood is likely to set a new career single-game scoring record tonight against his old club Minnesota, and as long as Wood is half of the first half in the second half, Wood is likely to score more than 40 points for the first time in this game."

Bill. Wharton said as he looked at the stats, and the Timberwolves pulled back two points from Garnett's high-post jumper.

German. Casey's timeout allowed the Timberwolves to maintain a good state of mind before the first half, both offensively and defensively. At the end of the first half, the Magic led the Timberwolves by nine points, 64-55.

Such a point difference is for German. Casey was a pretty good result. After all, the team didn't have a double-digit margin of points behind.

For Stan. For Van Gundy, such a score is also an ideal lead. As long as the team is in good form in the second half, the odds will be good for this game.

"I didn't expect Minnesota to burst into a huge energy under the leadership of KG in the second half, and Trevor became a wonder man of the game, with two consecutive three-pointers and a steal and an assist, I don't think anyone would have thought that Trevor would step up and change the situation on the court."

Hoffman looked at Ariza, who was standing on the Timberwolves bench, and said that it was the sixth minute of the third quarter.

In the past two minutes, Ariza hit two consecutive three-pointers, added a steal from Tekoglou to Linson, and then assisted Nelson on a fast-break layup, and in the two-point period, Ariza helped the Timberwolves play a wave of 8-0 spurt to chase the 11-point deficit to only 3 points in one fell swoop.

Linson just broke through to Howard, and Garnett appeared in time to poke the ball out of bounds, leaving the Magic with less than 3 seconds left to attack.

Stan. Van Gundy had to call a timeout to set up the team. Being beaten to an 8:0 in less than two minutes was something he didn't expect to be far from expecting, and he didn't expect the attack to be so difficult and unsuccessful.

"I don't know how Stan will arrange to effectively seize the three seconds of this attack, and he can't relax his defense against Trevor, otherwise the three-point point with Trevo's hand will definitely not be a three-point for him tonight." Bill. Wharton looked at Stan, who was standing in the middle of the players. Van Gundy said.

"Now that the timeout is over, let's see how Orlando sets it up."

Tekoglou stood outside the sideline, and the Timberwolves wrapped tightly around the Magic.

"Heedo's sideline serves, Minnesota's defense is tight."

Ariza who led the Timberwolves to fight back clinged to Lin Sen tightly, eager to hug Lin Sen directly.

And Jamal. Nelson was also on the sidelines, as Linson's former coach Devin Brown. Casey naturally knows how much Lin Sen's ability is, and for him, the biggest threat to the Magic lineup is Lin Sen. Howard was not at all in his consideration or anything like that.

In fact, Howard, who played super center statistics in the first four games, has only 6 of 12 shots in Linson's reduced passing, and his shooting rate is 50 percent, which is completely incomparable to the first four games.

With the referee's whistle. The Magic players immediately moved, but the Timberwolves' defense was too tight.

Seeing that the ball couldn't be sent out, and Tekoglou was about to call another short timeout, Linson shouted at Howard on the inside.

Howard heard Linson's voice immediately and Chris. Webb made eye contact.

Howard ran to Webb, who made a single block for Howard, who immediately broke free from Garnett's entanglement and pulled to the high post.

Seeing Howard run out, Lin Sen also moved.

The whole person suddenly retreated, and after withdrawing from the encirclement of Ariza and Nelson, he directly accelerated and forcibly rushed to the right side of Ariza's body.

Ariza tried to defend, but pulled out Howard blocked his body.

Tekoglu saw Linson run out of position and passed the ball almost the moment the referee made a five-second gesture for the free throw.

Looking at the ball from Tekoglu, Lin Sen jumped high and took the ball down.

At this time, Garnett, who should be guarding Howard, pounced on him, and Linsen looked at his former boss Garnett, and the picture of training and playing together with Garnett appeared in his mind.

And the offensive time of less than three seconds did not allow Linsen to make any more hesitation, and Garnett Linson did not hesitate in the face of the pounce.

Jumping up again with both feet outside the three-point line, Linson leaned back to avoid Garnett's block.

"Oh, Wood is going to make a shot, it's a very difficult three-pointer to step back, and KG is trying his best to block." Hoffman said as he looked at Linson and Garnett in the air.

A height of 2.11 is Garnett's biggest defensive dependence, not to mention his bounce and reach.

Garnett's palm completely obscured his vision, and Linson could only throw the ball out by feeling. And according to the previous shot arc, this ball is thrown out, and what awaits him is likely to be a block.

Come to think of it. Lin Sen had to increase his shots. But other than that, Lin Sen had no choice but to do this.

When the ball left Linson's finger, the sound of twenty-four seconds of offensive time was up and the rebound lit up red.

Garnett watched as Linson's ball flew over his palm and behind him, and his instinct told him that it would be difficult to score.

"Wood made a move to avoid KG's block, but it was hard to score."

Bill. As soon as Wharton finished speaking, he slashed through the air in a super-high arc and fell to the basket.

Boom!

Swish!

After landing on the ground, Garnett couldn't believe it when he looked at the Nets that were still shaking, this rookie was too lucky.

"Wow, God. Wood's luck was just too good, and he scored four points on Ricky with God's help in the first half.

And this time he scored a lucky goal with God's help, and I don't think anyone would have thought Wood would have scored this time.

But in fact, all of us guessed the result wrongly, lucky to hit the board three points, the angle of the ball is really a little bit impossible to bring a goal, is it really because of Adriana. Why are Lima on the sidelines? "Bill. Wharton looked over to the side of Lima's seat.

"Obviously, Wood had a good hand tonight, he had 31 points before the third quarter was over, and he probably won't have any problem getting his first 40 plus tonight.

I think after this game, the pseudo-fans who shouted that Wood was not used to the situation in Orlando and even that his form was unable to get the law could keep their mouths shut, and this was the best response Wood gave. Hoffman said as he looked at Linson on the floor.

β€œxiexie!”

Lin Sen stretched out his right hand and took Garnett's hand and stood up.

German off the field. Casey was so angry that he could still score a goal. Seeing that the difference of chasing three points chased down to six points again. Casey was depressed.

However, Linson's lucky three-pointer did not completely dampen the morale of the Timberwolves, and although the Magic's offensive efficiency was good, the defensive end could not contain it. Especially to contain Garnett.

Garnett made consecutive singles on the inside, and Howard, who was responsible for defending Garnett, even suffered his fourth foul when defending Garnett and was replaced off the court early.

After replacing Rodman, Garnett directly hit Rodman with his height, speed and footwork, and watched Garnett's play Stan. Van Gundy was depressed.

'It was a game that looked like both sides were undefended, but if you look at the game, both sides defended extra hard.

Hoffman looked at the scoreboard and said that with two minutes left in the game, the Timberwolves trailed the Magic by one point 127-128.

"Toot!"

A whistle blows, Dwight. Howard looked at the referee with his head in his hands, but the referee did not give Howard face, and directly made a gesture for Fan Man to leave the court.

"Oh, Orlando is in a tough situation, Dwight is in the KG position, he shouldn't have jumped just now, he paid a heavy price for his rash jump." Hoffman looked at Howard with a helpless look on his face and said.

"Who made you jump, do you have nails under your feet?" Rodman pulled Howard directly and said.

Howard hung his head and didn't say a word, he played this game so badly, and at first he didn't care much about Rodman and the coaching staff's education of him.

The outstanding performance in these four games made him think that he could hold up the same team, but although Linson gave far less direct assists in this game, he was far less than the first four.

But if you look closely, he didn't take a lot of shots in this game, shooting 7 of 16 from the field and only 3 of 9 free throws, and there were 3 turnovers in the whole game, and now he has 6 fouls to leave the game.

"You think about it, what your physical fitness can bring you, you have to learn to walk well." Rodman sat next to Howard and said, without the sternness he had just had.

"Who will Stan replace, Dennis? It doesn't look like it, and the fact that Dennis did okay on the rebounds but didn't do well on defending KG in the minutes he played tonight makes us have to admit that Dennis is really old, he is not 36 years old but 46 years old. "Bill. Wharton looks at Stan. Van Gundy said.

"If KG makes 1 of 2 free throws then it's a tie, and if KG makes 2 of 2 free throws, then Minnesota will take the lead for the first time of the game, oh, Stan has Darko.

Darko came to Orlando this season and did well in Orlando, he hasn't faced KG tonight, maybe it will work, and of course Minnesota certainly doesn't want Darko to play a role. ”

Hoffman looked at Darko as he walked on. Milicic said.

Fans at the Target Center immediately booed wildly when they saw the Magic switch to Milicic, one of the league's most famous parallel trade lists.

Garnett, who stood at the free-throw line, hit the first free throw. Van Gundy immediately asked for a timeout.

With almost a minute and a half to go before the game, the team is tied and maybe even overtaken, so he has to make some arrangements.

"Wood, is your strength okay?" Van Gundy looked at Linsen with some concern, Linsen made a lot of offensive throws in this game, which made Van Gundy a little worried.

Moreover, the Timberwolves have deployed layers of defense against Lin Sen, which has further increased the consumption of Lin Sen's physical energy.

Lin Sen's physical fitness at the moment has indeed reached a personal critical point, but he absolutely does not accept that he will end in failure in the face of his old club.

Raising his head and looking at Van Gundy, "Coach, I don't have a problem. ”

"Okay, all the people cooperate with Wood, let Wood distribute the ball, and you decide the specific tactics Wood!" Van Gundy looked at Linsen and said.

Lin Sen nodded heavily! (To be continued......)
