Chapter 136: Stimulating the Beast
If it weren't for Brad Miller hugging Artest, things might have gotten worse.
Lin Sen tried his best to hide it, but there was still a slight fear on his face.
"Does that guy want to fight? He thinks we're the stupid place in Auburn Hills, too? ”
"As long as he dares to do it, don't think about getting out of Minnesota alive."
……
There was a lot of talk in the audience, and soon all kinds of shrill boos rushed to Artest.
"I'm going to tear him up, that goddamn rookie!" Artest didn't calm down despite being late for a foul on Jishu.
Brad Miller and Raheem pushed Artest to the sidelines, and Musselman's face was hard to see.
Originally, he wanted to walk away with a win here, but before the game he was full of confidence, believing that as long as he contained that rookie Wood, the Kings would take the victory for granted.
But now it was only three minutes into the opening game that Musselman was on the back foot, staring at Artest, who had gradually subsided.
"Ron, there are many ways you want to get revenge, but it should definitely not be a fist, if you want revenge then you should calm me down, otherwise you don't have to play in this game or even in the future."
Although Artest is easily impulsive, he is not yet the kind of person who is completely brainless, listening to Musselman's words, Artest nodded.
Lin Sen stepped on the free throw line and made the foul ball for Jishu safely.
Musselman replaced Artest, who had two fouls and one foul on Jishu, with Francisco Garcia, and although this season was only Garcia's second, Garcia showed his potential last season.
In addition to his all-round skills, Musselman admires Garcia's defense the most, and he hopes that Garcia's appearance can contain Linson.
As Musselman expected, Garcia did a decent first defense against Linson, and in the end the Timberwolves missed their first shot since the opening game.
The game gradually entered a state of attacking and defending each other, but the Kings relied on the huge pressure brought by Brad Miller to Madsen and Kevin Martin's outstanding performance, and the difference was narrowed little by little.
When the clock ticked for the ninth minute of the first quarter, both sides were in the second lineup's rotation.
At this moment, the main lineup of the Timberwolves on the court is only Linson and Jarich, and the Timberwolves and the Kings are tied 24-24.
Lin Sen looked at Garcia in front of him and stopped his steps.
Since Garcia came on the pitch, he has felt a defense that is almost different from Artest.
There are no tough physical confrontations and maddening small moves, just stable defense and stalking, like a piece of kraft candy that can't be shaken off.
And this kind of defense also put Lin Sen's offense to the test, and Lin Sen paid more attention to organizing the team's offense.
Reaching out to pick up Jarric's pass, Linson made the most basic triple threat move.
Garcia waited in front of Linsen with open arms, and he did not let his guard down because Linsen was not outstanding in the past few minutes, much to the satisfaction of Musselman on the sidelines.
In Musselman's plan, Garcia's stability would surely become an important part of his system of kings.
Lin Sen half-bowed, and his right foot took a few tentative steps.
Garcia's right foot retreated slightly, just forming a misalignment with his left foot, and this position was to prevent Linson's sudden breakthrough.
He tried to step again, but unlike the previous times, Lin Sen's right foot was fast, and the basketball shoe made a screeching sound against the floor.
Garcia couldn't help frowning, and at this moment, Lin Sen violently withdrew his right foot, and at the same time raised the ball with both hands.
However, Garcia did not panic at all, but took a small half step forward with his right foot, and raised his right arm high without any intention of jumping.
Linson was also accustomed to Garcia's solid defense, quickly receiving the ball, and bowing the ball to the floor quickly.
Garcia immediately quickly half-turned and retreated to defend, watching Garcia's defensive changes, Lin Sen slapped the ball with his right hand, and the ball passed through his back to the left hand, and at the same time, his right foot stepped directly into the right side of Garcia's body.
With his left hand, he takes a step with his left foot and accelerates violently.
Garcia quickly retreated to try to block Lin Sen's breakthrough, and rushed two steps against Garcia's body, Lin Sen suddenly retreated and stopped, and Garcia was caught off guard and there was a distance of about one and a half meters between him.
With a quick retraction, Linson jumped up in front of Garcia.
Garcia immediately jumped in a hurry, but it was too late, and Linson flicked the ball out before Garcia could pounce.
The basketball jumped high over Garcia's fingers and flew to the basket in the distance.
With the sound of basketball entering the net, the net burst into a white wave.
“YES!”
Linson clenched his fists and roared, his first pullup jump shot of the night, and while not as excited as he was in the last game against the Spurs, he was just as excited.
Devin Casey on the sidelines couldn't help but nod when he saw Linson hit the first pull-up jump shot of the night, and he believed that Linsen would definitely make up for this shortcoming after continuous efforts.
The Kings fought back quickly, but Kevin Martin's pull-up jumper smashed the basket, and Kevin Martin waved his hand in annoyance as he watched the basket come out.
Greg Smith took the defensive rebound and immediately passed it to Linson above the free throw line.
After receiving the ball, Linson instantly picked up, and Garcia was the only player in front of Linson for the Kings.
In the face of Lin Sen, whose speed was fully raised, Garcia moved quickly to try to block Lin Sen's fast attack, but still failed.
Linsen slapped the ball, turned around with a pull ball and accelerated, and Garcia was left behind by Linsen.
After Garcia was thrown away, it became a luxury to chase the defense, and he could only watch Lin Sen gallop towards the frontcourt.
The attention of the whole audience was on Lin Sen, who swept through the target center arena like lightning.
Under the watchful eye of everyone, Lin Sen hit the three-point line like the wind, getting closer and closer to the three-point line, looking at the basket in the distance, Lin Sen began to adjust his pace.
The moment he stepped into the three-point line, the right hand of the dribbling suddenly flipped his wrist, and the ball flew directly out of the palm of his hand to the rebound not far away.
"Hit the board relay dunk?"
Quite a few people thought of the word at this moment.
With his left foot a step inside the free throw line, Linson threw himself into the air.
The ball smashed on the rebound and bounced back, and Lin Sen's right hand was raised high behind his head, and his body was pulled into a full bow.
When Linson came to the highest point, the ball came right in front of him.
He received the ball with his right hand and smashed it to the basket with a chilling momentum.
Syllable!
With a hard pull of the basket, Lin Sen jumped to the floor.
“MVP! MVP! MVP! ”
The court rang out with a uniform cheer, and Linson, who was under the basket, looked at the Kings' bench and raised his right hand.
The index finger of his right hand pointed directly at the King's bench, and everyone knew what Lin Sen was doing.
Artest, who had calmed down on the bench, suddenly rushed back to his heart with anger.
