Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Blood Boils and the Body Is Exhausted
Devin Casey praised the team's performance in the first half at halftime, and a 17-point lead could really make it easier for the team to play in the second half.
The first half of the game was very satisfying to the fans at the scene, and the cheering of the fans did not stop at the beginning of the second half.
The Trail Blazers' first offense of the second half ended with a three-point shot after Yudoka received a breakaway from Jack.
However, no one in the Timberwolves paid too much attention to this three-point point, after all, it was impossible not to let the Trail Blazers score, and it was a goal scored by Yuduka, a man who is easy to ignore on the defensive end.
Switching between offense and defense, Linson took the ball through the half court and handed it to Mike James, and Devin Casey did not change the starting lineup for the second half because both started at the same time in the first half.
Looking at Mike James with the ball on the court, Devin Casey would love to see what he wants, which is that there is some interaction between the two and that Mike James can work together like he did with Ricky Davis in the second quarter.
Jarrett Jack didn't let up his defense because Linson didn't have the ball, and kept following Linson closely.
Mike James, who was holding the ball, motioned for Garnetra to come out to cover, while Linson went around the three-point line and ran directly to the other side, but it wasn't too fast, which gave Jack a chance to follow.
With the help of Garnett's cover, Mike James shook off Roy, who defended him, and then cut directly to the inside, but this time Mike James did not rush to shoot himself in the face of the Trail Blazers' supplemental defense, but chose to pass back to Kevin Garnett, who was covering him in the high post.
At the moment when Garnett received the ball, Lin Sen sped up sharply.
With a heavy step on the floor with his right foot, the whole person quickly turned on the spot and ran to Garnett's side, and in the face of the sudden situation, Jack reacted before immediately speeding up to chase Linsen.
Seeing Linsen running over, Garnett immediately passed the ball over and made a cover for Linsen.
Jack, who still maintained his hope of catching up with Linson, was blocked by Garnett's body, and could only watch Linsen stop outside the three-point line.
Just as Linson was about to take a jump shot, Brandon Roy appeared in front of him.
"Blanton, you're so nice to me, you're here wherever I go." Looking at Roy Linson in front of him, he quipped.
After retracting the action of preparing to shoot, he held the ball in both hands and made a basic three-threat offensive move.
However, Linson did not attack on his own, but passed the ball directly to Garnett, who had just finished covering him and cut to the basket from the middle.
Linsen's passing choice surprised Roy a little, he didn't expect Linsen to choose to pass the ball instead of attacking himself.
However, after passing the ball, Lin Sen did not stop his steps, and while Roy relaxed his vigilance, Lin Sen directly accelerated and bypassed Roy and cut to the basket from 45 degrees.
Linson was fast, rushing to the middle distance a second later, and Garnett, who was holding the ball, immediately distributed the ball to Linsen.
Margloyle looked at Linsen, who received Garnett's pass, and immediately moved his feet to block Linsen.
With a slap of the ball, Linson rushed straight at Magloyer, looking unafraid of his reinforcement.
When he was less than a meter away from Magloyle, the whole person made a sudden stop and lifted the ball quickly with both hands.
Marglooyle jumped up subconsciously, looking like he was about to completely cover Lin Sen, but when he jumped, he regretted it, because the rookie in front of him was a feint.
After seeing Magloyl jumping up, Lin Sen jumped up, and his body was deliberately a little staggered with Magloyer, but Lin Sen was not to dodge but to make himself safer to play two plus one.
Lin Sen didn't want to not only fail to cause two plus one, but also be directly pounced on by Magloyer, such a loss-making deal, Lin Sen didn't want to.
Leaning towards Magloyer, the baseline referee immediately blew the whistle in his mouth.
Hearing the whistle, Lin Sen threw the ball to the basket with satisfaction.
“YES!” After landing on the ground, Lin Sen shook his fists in celebration, and Margloyle's face was a little unpleasant, and anyone who was teased by a rookie felt uncomfortable.
Linson, who stood on the free throw line, hit another free throw, and with Linson's free throw, the Timberwolves once again returned the lead to 17 points.
The game continued, returning to the defensive end of the defensive end where Linson and Mike James switched positions, after all, Mike James was a bit shorter than Linson.
Lin Sen entangled Roy like a dog skin plaster, I have to say that Lin Sen's speed and stalking attitude made Roy never find a chance, and in the end, the Trail Blazers' attack did not pass through Roy's hands, but by Zach Randolph on the inside, but Randolph's first excellent second half seemed to have no hot hand in the first half, and his mid-range shot smashed directly out of the basket.
Devin Casey is very satisfied with Linsen's defense this time, in his opinion, although Linsen is slightly worse physically, his attitude on the defensive end is very positive, and the physical difference is only a weight difference, Linsen Liliang is still okay, as long as Linsen slowly adapts to the rhythm of the league and has more game experience, then the defense will improve significantly sooner or later.
Garnett grabbed the defensive rebound and handed the ball to Mike James, and Linson ran to the front court with Roy.
However, after arriving in the front court, Linson still received the ball, although it was not passed directly by Mike James, but Devin Casey was already very satisfied, at least Mike James was not so alone.
After receiving the ball, Lin Sen directly tore Roy's defense after a continuous change of direction, attracted Yuduka's supplementary defense, and directly passed the ball to the unguarded Hassel on the outside.
Hassel didn't waste Linson's pass and hit a three-point shot.
The 20-point margin had the fans at the Target Centre cheering wildly, and it was only a matter of time before such a lead was a victory.
In the next game, although the Trail Blazers played hard, they still couldn't narrow the gap to less than 10 points.
With four minutes left in the fourth quarter, Lin Sen first hit a completely unreasonable long-range three-point shot.
Then the defense directly cut off the Trail Blazers' cross and staged a dragon with both hands.
Then he tore through the defense and rushed to the basket, not only completing the goal but also pulling away Ratliff's foul, and got his third chance to play two plus one in the game.
But this time, Lin Sen also fell heavily on the floor.
Standing at the free throw line, Linsenga's free throw shot not only increased his personal score to 18 points, but also helped the Timberwolves extend their lead to 19 points again.
In the end, the Trail Blazers failed to complete the overtake, and the Timberwolves defeated the Trail Blazers by 17 points at home to win two consecutive games in the new season.
18 points, 11 assists, 4 rebounds, 4 steals, 1 block, this is the data handed over by Linsen in this game.
Although Brandon Roy is not as eye-catching as Linson, he also contributed 14 points, 3 assists and 5 rebounds.
However, in comparison, Lin Sen, who has won two consecutive double-doubles, is still a little worse, which makes some media begin to trumpet Lin Sen's future.
"Those guys, it's both sides of the story, they say you can do it, and they must be looking forward to your next scene when you're blown up." David Falck said with a smile.
"Of course I know, but I can't keep their mouths shut, it's going to be tough in the next game, and I guess I'm going to blow up defensively, but I'm going to do my best."
Lin Sen's mind came to mind the opponent of the next game, the scoring maniac Arenas.
Although Linson has only played two regular season games, his three-point shooting has already impressed many people, especially the unreasonable three-point and the long-range ability, which can't help but remind people of the Timberwolves' next opponent, the Wizards' core Arenas.
Thinking about the scene of two three-pointers facing off is enough to make people's blood boil, but the other uniform groups are still looking forward to the picture of Lin Sen being blown up.
