――――
"Three-point shots, it's a team product that belongs to Orlando, Wood made a great shot, and he didn't waste the team's effort." Kenny. Smith said.
"Kenny, you're right, it's a product of the team, Wood wouldn't have had such an easy chance to make a move without the cover of his teammates, maybe that's the new change that Orlando just took out to bring about it." Barkley continued.
At 17:22, the Magic still trailed the Nets by five points.
Lin Sen scored a goal, as if to inject vitality into the Magic fans at the scene.
"Defend! Defend! Defend! ”
The shouts one after another made the Magic team members work extra hard.
Under the crazy defense of the Magic, the Nets' offensive tactics could not be played, and the Nets simply put the ball in the hands of the one who was most confident in their individual offense.
When the twenty-four seconds of attack time came to Zuihou and ten seconds, the ball came to Vince. Carter was in his hands, and it was Lin Sen who stood in front of Carter to defend.
Lin Sen's provocation just now was still echoing in Carter's ears, and ten seconds of attack time to launch an attack was basically more than enough.
Continuous crotch dribbling, it seems that there are many opportunities to break the ball, but Lin Sen restrained his steal thoughts, because he saw a hint of cunning in Carter's eyes, so Lin Sen resisted the idea of breaking the ball and opened his arms as much as possible.
Carter didn't expect that this rookie season, who relied on gambling steals to become the king of steals, would be able to restrain the idea of breaking the ball when he dribbled like this, originally he wanted to pull the ball directly at the moment when Lin Sen broke the ball, so as to use Lin Sen's defensive disposition to calmly shoot the ball.
But now Linson was indifferent and had to make Carter change his mind, and the ball under the crotch bounced to his left hand. And Carter directly accelerated at this time.
Lin Sen retreated quickly. However, just as Linson stepped back, Carter slapped the ball with his left hand. The ball passed through the fast down, and at the same time the left foot cut directly to the right side of Linsen's body.
This kind of breakthrough passer Lin Sen is also commonly used, mainly using the defender's inability to make the most accurate reaction in a short period of time.
And at this moment, Lin Sen is like this, facing being thrown away by Carter, Lin Sen not only did not directly forcibly adjust his steps, but retreated with the trend, and then quickly turned around.
When Lin Sen finished all this, Carter threw Lin Sen out of half of his body and pulled him sideways.
Lin Sen looked at Carter, who pulled the ball horizontally, kicked the ground with his left foot, straightened his arm and pounced on Carter, as long as Carter made a move, Lin Sen had the confidence to interfere with Carter.
Carter didn't expect Lin Sen's reaction to be so fast. So he didn't have any scruples when he jumped, and just as he was about to make a move, a figure rushed into his peripheral vision.
"Wood didn't give up." Barkley shouted as he looked at Linson, who pounced on Carter.
As a superstar, Carter didn't give Linson a chance to block and force a shot, but turned his shot into a pass and threw the ball directly outside the left three-point line.
Lin Sen's hand was in the air, and his heart was somewhat full of regret.
Richard, who catches the ball from beyond the three-point line. Jefferson didn't expect Carter to suddenly choose to pass the ball to him, and with the twenty-four seconds of offensive time already two seconds in Zuihou, Jefferson simply didn't have time to make too many adjustments.
Distance Richard. Jefferson and Tekoglou, who were almost two feet away, watched Jefferson catch the ball and could only pounce as much as he could, and the block was not counted on. It's more about putting some pressure on Jefferson.
Lacking time and Tecoglou's pounce, Jefferson's shot was affected.
Eventually, the ball hit the basket and bounced off. The ball bounced far, and Linson grabbed the ball in his arms before Carter.
"Defensive rebounding, this one-on-one ended with Wood's victory, but Vince didn't expect Wood's reaction to be so fast, otherwise he wouldn't have given Wood such a chance."
"I agree with that, and to be honest, I was surprised by Wood's defensive reaction just now, in fact, judging from Wood's defensive attitude and physical quality and his hard work, Wood still has a lot of potential to develop into a player who can both attack and defend in the future, rather than only attacking and not defending." Charles. Barkley nodded.
Kenny. Smith glanced at Barkley: "A player who can only attack but not defend can only be a first-class star, if you want to be a superstar, at least the defensive end will not be blown into scum, and legendary players can basically do a good job on both offensive and defensive ends, of course, like Beal. Russell is a case in which he has limited ability on the offensive end but he does his best on the defensive end, and I prefer players who are both offensive and defensive, such as Michael, Isiah, and Vince. ”
Lin Sen drove forward with the ball and glanced at the timer.
With three minutes and twenty-four seconds left before the end of the first quarter, both sides will soon be in the second lineup.
"Catch up before you get into the rotation." Lin Sen thought.
Back to Vince on the defensive end. Carter, like before, appeared in front of Linsen just after halftime.
Tekoglu ran out from near the bottom left corner, and immediately understood Linsen's thoughts when he saw Linsen's gesture.
"Is Wood still going to pass and run this time?" Kenny. Before Smith could finish speaking, the ball in Linson's hand flew straight towards Tekoglu.
Carter's attention was even more focused at the moment than just now, because Linson passed the ball out and used his running position to get a chance to shoot.
"Sure enough." Carter's eyes lit up, and he quickly half-turned and clinged to Lin Sen.
"Is it still running, the same as just now? The time has come to test the New Jersey defence, and listening to the cries of the fans at the Waterhouse Center, I know that they believe that the New Jersey defense is just a decoration under Wood's movement. Barkley completely threw away the skin that he was supposed to be a fair and impartial commentator, revealing a downright "Lin Mi" posture.
While Linson was running, Azubuuk, who was standing at 45 degrees on the right side, also went straight to Linsen, and Kidd, who was defending Azubuk, had to follow Azubuk as well.
It looked strange for four people to run in one direction, and Tekoglu, who was holding the ball, was ignored.
Dwight. Howard came out with a screen, and Tekoglu was not in a hurry to defend his Richard. Jefferson threw him behind.
"Damn it!" Frank on the sidelines let out a low curse.
Because at this time, Lin Sen had two defenders around him. Chris. Webb drew the Collins defense. Kostic was able to let go because Howard was out of the three-second zone. So at the moment, there is not a single Nets player around Tekoglu.
For Tekoglu, it was an open shooting practice at the moment, and he took aim and threw the ball out with ease.
"Hedo hit a shot, three points away, weishenme I smell a sense of conspiracy?" Kenny. Smith turned to look at Charles. Buckley.
"Look at Stan's face, he looks calm, but behind the calm I see his smug smile, maybe it's a conspiracy as you say." Barkley nodded.
"Be careful to go out and don't give him an empty seat." Frank shouted at Kostic. If Kostic had just come out, then Tekoglou would not have had an open shot.
Offensive and defensive conversion, Vince. Carter caught the ball again, looked at the rookie Lin Sen in front of him, and his eyes were extremely sharp.
Just now he was careless and didn't expect Lin Sen to make up the defense so quickly, so he gave Lin Sen a chance, and Zuihou had to pass the ball out, and this time Carter believed that he would definitely not.
With a gesture, Carter motioned for his teammates to pull away.
"Is this going to be a singles? It's a test for Wood's defense, even though I'm a true Wood fan and Wood has just done a good job on the defensive end but I'm still worried about his defense. Barkley looked at Linson and said.
The ball was getting faster and faster in Carter's hands, and in the face of Carter's two consecutive cross-steps, Linson lowered his body's center of gravity.
In the next second when Lin Sen lowered the center of gravity of his body, Carter activated, and the whole person rushed directly to the left side of Lin Sen's body.
Looking at Carter, who rushed over, Lin Sen reacted immediately. A direct sliding step, but the sliding step is not done thoroughly. Because his intuition told him that Carter's move was likely to be a prelude, and the real killer move was still to come.
Even if Carter's action is not a prelude but the most direct forced breakthrough, then Lin Sen is confident to stick to Carter and force Carter not to let Carter have a comfortable chance to shoot.
As Lin Sen thought, Carter's move was just a prelude, seeing Lin Sen's footsteps move Carter slapped the ball and directly changed direction.
Lin Sen immediately slid in the opposite direction, but unlike just now, Lin Sen's sliding step this time was very large, almost half of Carter's body.
Carter's movement came closer, pulling the ball with his right hand and turning with his left foot.
According to Carter's thoughts, Lin Sen, who forcibly moved his footsteps twice in a row, would not be blocking him.
However, Carter's idea fell through because Linson chose to gamble.
Syllable!
Lin Sen's left hand stabbed directly on the ball, and the ball immediately deviated from Carter's control, and Lin Sen took a diagonal step to the upper left, just past Carter's body.
The happiness came too suddenly, and the fans in the center of the water house obviously didn't expect that Lin Sen, who was still on the defensive passive end just now, would instantly become a hero.
This was also something that the Nets didn't expect, when Linson let Carter's body accelerate. Kidd was the first to react.
By the time Carter turned around to chase after him, Linson had already run to the center circle, with the blue jersey featuring the prominent white letters LIN and the big number 1.
Being tackled by a rookie, and in a situation he didn't expect at all, is undoubtedly a great irony for a superstar who has made a name for himself.
In the cheers of the fans in the audience, Lin Sen's speed became faster and faster, and Lin Sen, who rushed to the free throw line, jumped.
However, Lin Sen did not choose a dunk, but chose a pick-and-roll.
"So handsome!" Barkley looked at Linson as he flew to the basket and exclaimed.
Hold the ball up with your right hand, almost at the level of the basket, and gently pick your fingers.
"Wood's speed is too fast, whether it is a steal or a fast break, it gives people the most intuitive feeling that it is fast, just now I thought that Wood's defense was a complete failure, but I didn't expect it to become a defensive success in the next second." Kenny. Smith spoke out how he felt.
Too many people and Kenny. Like Smith, just now Linson did lose his defensive position in their eyes.
The big screen at the scene gave a replay, Lin Sen's sliding step when Carter made a change of direction was completely different from the first sliding step, the first sliding step was very short and the second time was much longer, and after the sliding step, Lin Sen and Carter's bodies were partially staggered.
Carter as he pulls the ball and turns. The misalignment of Linson and Carter just gave Linsen a chance.
Lin Sen's left arm wrapped around Carter's body like a snake. The left hand went straight for the ball that left Carter's palm like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter.
"I knew it had to be the signature Wood-style steal. A lot of people may have questioned Wood's gambling steals, but he did get results, and it's more on the Haode side, Kenny is a reflection of the high ball quotient, right? ”
Kenny. Smith glanced at Barkley helplessly, this guy Barkley did not forget to praise Lin Sen at any time now.
Lawrence called a timeout, and it was exactly as it should be, and in just two minutes, New Jersey had a full rhythm on both ends of the floor. With only one point left in the eight-point lead, it is still unrealistic to rely solely on the players on the field without making adjustments. ”
In the end, it was Orlando's morale that changed, and of course there was another important reason, and that was that Vince's two offenses were defeated by Wood. Lin unexpectedly contained, in fact, New Jersey can consider using Richard to attack the main attack, after all, Richard's offensive ability is not bad. Barkley said.
At 21:22, the Magic trailed the Nets by one point, and at this time, the first quarter was two minutes and forty seconds left.
"Next Darko you replace Dwight, Hedo you go up to power forward, Grant you replace Chris, Scottie you replace Chris, Wood continues to play. Strive to overtake the score at the end of the first quarter. "Stan. Van Gundy quickly talked about the rotation, and then began to lay out the tactics.
Originally, this time was the playing time of the second team. In the past two minutes, the Nets offense was the first, so Frank was ready to change the pace of the game with substitutions.
Frank used Nakba, Mikey. Moore, Clifford, and Eddie. House replaces Collins, Kostic Jason. Kidd and Richard. Jefferson.
"Oh, Lawrence actually replaced Richard, I was just saying that it might be good to let Richard take the lead, Lawrence, is this embarrassing me?" Barkley said, looking at the Nets lineup.
"The two offensive failures just now don't mean that Vince is in bad shape, maybe that's why Lawrence kept Vince, not to mention that this lineup is much more threatening than the offensive just now, after all, Jason's offensive ability is not a big threat except for passing, Eddie is different, and Persian Jane with impact may be effective." Kenny. Smith said.
The Nets' new lineup worked on the first offense, with Carter using his containment to pass the ball to Nakba, who broke through to Eddie. House.
Eddie. House hit a straight big two-pointer and Frank was relieved to see House score.
At 24:21, the Nets regained a three-pointer advantage.
The Nets' goal didn't change the Magic's tempo, and Linson dribbled through the half, but the defender was no longer Vince. Carter became Nakba.
"Posjan's physicality is perverted among white players, but his defense has always been a problem, so is Lawrence counting on Persian Jane to guard Wood?" Barkley looked at Frank with a sneer.
Frank naturally knows that Nakba's biggest flaw is his lack of passion, especially on the defensive end, and Nakba's style of play is soft and weak, but at the moment Frank has a calm expression in his control.
Linsen's personal offense comes more from delicate breakthroughs and relying on continuous feints near the three-point line to find jump shots, and there are few tough one-on-one confrontations, Nakba's shortcoming is confrontation, while Linsen rarely directly uses his body to defend and relies more on his physical fitness.
In addition, Nakba's physical fitness is not worse than Linsen's in addition to speed, and even stronger, Carter, who does not defend Linsen, can also make more use of the assistant defense to defend Linsen, which is why Frank arranged Nakba's main defense.
In the last game, Lin Sen and Nakba were almost non-matched, and when Lin Sen looked for an opportunity and was blocked by Nakba, Lin Sen was shocked by Nakba's ability to react and observe his teammates' position.
Tekoglou ran out of the line, Pippen also ran to the free-throw line from the left forty degrees, and Grant. Hill ran to the free-throw line from the right mid-range.
Hill and Pippen crossed and helped each of them block the defenders.
And Lin Sen saw this moment and hit the ground directly, and the ball flew straight to Pippen.
When Pippen received the ball, Pippen had already moved from the left to the right, and Linson, who was off the ball, also made a reflexive run.
Pippen catches the ball at the same time. Tekoglu ran to his side. A hand-to-hand pass came to Tekoglu.
Pippen was also pulled outside the three-point line. Just helped Lin Sen block Nakba.
Lin Sen rushed directly to the inside line, and the first pass in the hands of Tekoglu came.
Vince. Carter immediately threw away his own defense, and pounced on Linson.
Syllable!
Lin Sen threw the ball with his right hand, and the ball bounced directly to the inside.
Clifford spun around immediately, and when he did, the ball passed right past him.
The ball bounced right between Milicic's waist and abdomen, and he easily caught the ball with both hands and threw it away before Clifford could defend it.
The ball hit the board and then easily got into the basket.
At 23:24, the Magic scored for the fourth consecutive offense, still only one point behind the Nets.
Hit by magic four times in a row. Although one of them was another Lin Sen steal and went directly to the fast break, the other three defensive failures undoubtedly caused a lot of pressure on the Nets' defense.
"Wood's accurate pass, Orlando is still only one point behind, as long as New Jersey is a little careless then it may be overtaken by Orlando, let's see Orlando's attack this time."
In Kenny. Smith's voice Chinese. Carter received a pass from House and faced Linson's defense head-on.
This time, Carter did not choose to break through, but forced Lin Sen to retreat little by little in a continuous crotch dribble.
When Carter entered the three-point line, Linson did not retreat again but directly pasted it, and Carter did not open up space to attack but directly leaned on Linsen with his back.
"Get moving! Get moving! Frank shouted at the court, and although he didn't say it, it was clear that he wanted Carter to pass the ball out and get the team's offense moving, rather than relying on a one-man solo to save the team.
However, at this time, Carter selectively ignored Frank's voice, and it was a huge shame for him to be a rookie as a superstar.
Boom!
Carter's back force crashed into Lin Sen who was close to him, Carter, who is 5 centimeters taller than Lin Sen, has a back body singles ability after so many years of training, although it is not as strong as Kobe, but it is also a master level.
Under Carter's impact, Lin Sen retreated a little, although only a little, but it was undoubtedly a haode news for Carter. The second impact came immediately, and Lin Sen stepped back a little again.
Lin Sen pressed his left hand against Carter's waist. The right hand is raised high, although Lin Sen has not studied Carter's back-to-back attack, but he has seen Kobe's back-to-back singles turn-over jumper, and it won't make much difference if he thinks Carter's.
So Lin Sen thinks that Carter will either turn over and make a jumper or turn directly to accelerate the breakthrough, at most add a feint to make a false move.
Thinking about this, Lin Sen quickly thought about how to defend Carter's ball, what should he do if Carter turned over and jumped directly?
And Carter's third and fourth impacts came in a row, and Linson took a small step back again, seeing that he retreated to the level of the free throw line, Linson had an idea, an idea based on the violation of the law after five seconds of back-to-back singles.
"Vince sat directly with Wood to play, but the advantage is not too obvious, did Vince choose to roll over and jump shot?" Kenny. Smith said as he looked at Carter, who was carrying Linsen.
Carter estimated the time, his shoulders shook, and he felt the movement of Lin Sen's footsteps behind him, and Carter immediately had an idea in his heart.
Syllable!
With a heavy slap of the ball, Carter flipped over and jumped up with a shake of his shoulder.
And Lin Sen behind him slid sideways half a step at the same time as Carter was shaking, and he was exactly one staggered with Carter.
When Carter rolled over and jumped, Lin Sen jumped too.
Carter raised the ball high with his right hand and was about to throw it out, but Linson jumped up as well.
With a noticeable amount of leaning back, Linson Carter, who watched him jump up on his side, firmly chose to throw the ball out, and he was going to put it in the basket.
However, something unexpected happened to Ling Ka, and Lin Sen's body was still rising.
"Oooo Wood's block, the second block of the game, this time to Vince, was incredible. "Kenny. Smith shouted.
Syllable!
Lin Sen's hard slap in the air slapped the basketball that had just left Carter's palm.
"It's actually blocked?" Carter couldn't believe that he was actually blocked by this rookie.
After Lin Sen landed, he jumped out directly from Carter's side like a bolt of lightning, and Carter also completed his turn and accelerated.
Compared to Carter. Lin Sen's speed advantage was on full display.
Eddie. House also didn't expect Carter's step-back shot to be blocked by Linson, a rookie. When the ball is blocked by Linson. Eddie. House also turned to chase after him.
But Lin Sen's speed was too fast, and the center of the water house was completely plunged into a sea of joy.
“WOOD! WOOD! WOOD!”
Linson took the lead and soon brought Carter and Eddie to the table. House threw him behind.
"Speed is everything! Wood's easy pick-and-roll! Orlando is officially overtaken! "Charles. Barkley said with a smile.
Frank didn't care about Carter's feelings and changed Carter to the sidelines, and Carter took the large towel handed by the staff and slammed it on the floor.
"Oh, Vince was annoyed, if it were me, I think it would be like this, and I don't think anyone would feel good about being the backdrop for Wood, a rookie. Not to mention a star as famous as Vince, looking at Wood's block, it was obviously deliberate. Lin is a rookie of a golf dealer. Barkley said, looking at the big screen.
When Lin Sen feints and sways in Carter, a sliding step happens to stagger Carter, and when Carter rolls over and jumps, Lin Sen jumps up on Carter's side, which makes it convenient for Lin Sen to jump more fully and shorten the distance between him and Carter, which is why Carter has not been able to avoid Lin Sen's block even if he leans back.
"Vince's fall was obviously irrational." Kenny. Before Smith could finish speaking, the referee blew his whistle.
"Jishu foul! Vince paid the price for his towel drop. ”
Lin Sen was naturally not polite, and Lin Sen, who walked to the free throw line, easily sent the ball into the basket.
At 26:24, the Orlando Magic, who were originally behind, not only caught up with the eight-point difference. also overtook by two points, and more importantly, the Nets' star Vince. Carter was also annoyed and embarrassed because of this, and was late for a Jishu foul.
"Long live Wood. Long live Wood! ”
"Who's Vince?"
"This is Orlando, this is our territory!"
……
The cheers of the fans kept drilling into Carter's ears, and every sound stimulated Carter.
When the first quarter ended, the Magic led the Nets by five points, 29-24.
Carter's irrationality also put the Nets under pressure, and although the second team did not fall behind, Carter was not in good shape after returning to the court in the second quarter, missing three consecutive shots, which made Frank feel very dissatisfied.
On the contrary, Lin Sen took the Magic to play more and more smoothly, and by the end of the first half, the Magic, who were at the bottom of the first quarter, had already taken a 10-point lead.
Carter recovered in the third quarter, but the Nets' defensive performance did not help them stop the Magic's offense, and the Nets and Magic tied the game at 28-28 in the third quarter.
"There is still Zuihou in the quarter, Orlando is still leading by 10 points, and if New Jersey can't find a way to defend in the fourth quarter, this seemingly small 10-point difference will not be easy to catch up." Kenny. Smith said as he looked at the big screen at the scene.
At 85:75, the Orlando Magic, playing at home, led the Nets by 10 points.
With six minutes left in the fourth quarter, the main players of both sides were on the court, and the Magic still led the Nets by eight points at 96-88.
Carter looked at Lin Sen in front of him with his arms open, Lin Sen pulled the ball high, looking full of flaws, but Carter still did not react, and Lin Sen took advantage of the situation to slap the ball and sprint to see Carter's withdrawal directly change direction.
In the face of Lin Sen's change of direction, Carter quickly changed his center of gravity to defend, but Lin Sen directly retreated.
"Wood has changed direction and retreated, how does Vince respond?" Kenny. Smith shouted.
Carter watched Lin Sen step back and jump out of the three-point line, and the whole person immediately jumped and pounced on Lin Sen, but the distance between the two made Carter only pin his hope on Lin Sen affecting his hand under his interference.
However, Linson let him down, and the ball was cleanly drilled into the basket.
"11 points, a crucial three-pointer, Orlando's lead is back in double digits, New Jersey have to work hard, they have five minutes and thirty seconds left to go, it's not an insurmountable point difference, but they have to do a good job of attacking and defending, otherwise it's still impossible to reverse." Kenny. Smith said.
Switching offense and defense, the Nets handed over the offense to Carter, who had clearly recovered in the second half.
"I'll travel to New Jersey with a 2:0." Lin Sen looked at Carter in front of him and said with a smile, his expression looking extremely relaxed.
Lin Sen's words were undoubtedly arrogant in Carter's ears, and he was humiliated several times in the first quarter and failed to find a chance in the second half, Carter glared at Lin Sen angrily: "Dreaming." (To be continued......)
