Chapter 472: Conflict
"Philip seems to be emphasizing something." Hoffman said, looking at the Pistons bench.
"I don't have to think about it, I can guess what the emphasis is, it has to be the defense, especially the outside defense against Wood, who hit three three-pointers of his own tonight.
Wood was clearly prepared, and this style of play would have weakened his lethality for a certain time.
But it also avoided possible injuries, and more importantly, Wood's three-point lethality was too great, and he didn't do any obvious damage to his own offensive end play. β
"Bill, you're so right, it's really Detroit's biggest problem right now, but it's good that the game isn't irreparable now." As Hoffman spoke, players from both sides came on the pitch.
However, Sanders looked at the players who came back from the Magic timeout and was stunned because the opponent put Linson on the bench instead of continuing to play.
"Oh, Stan actually took Wood off the court, he replaced Wood with Sean, and he replaced Dwight with Eddie, and the substitution was obviously very targeted.
Detroit's just set up was all ineffective, and Philip could never have imagined that Stan would make such a substitution, and Wood, who felt so hot, would return to the bench. "Bill. Wharton couldn't help but look at Sanders, who was standing on the sidelines.
The expression on Sanders' face was rich, and if Linson didn't play, his setup would be all ineffective.
But at this moment, he can only hope that the players will adjust themselves, and also hope that Lin Sen's magic will play worse without them.
In fact, Sanders was overthinking, and without Linson and Howard, the Magic increased the intensity on the defensive end by a level.
Milicic keeps an eye on Rashid. Wallace, whose height and footsteps make Wallace very uncomfortable.
And Sean. Battier and Ron. Artest Terror Outer Line Double Gate. It also made Hamilton have to rely on movement again and again to find offensive opportunities.
Even Hamilton is known as the king of mid-pitch who can't run away. But under the strong defense of the Magic, the physical consumption can be imagined.
Three more minutes were played in the first quarter. The game also came to the second lineup adjustment time, and both sides basically need to enter the second team competition.
Stan called for a timeout, and the last three minutes have been incredibly successful for Orlando, who managed to hold on to the lead while Wood was away withstanding the Detroit offense. Hoffman said.
"Wood, they're going to make substitutions later, as long as there's less Rashid then there's a lot less pressure on the inside, and their style of play isn't that crazy, so it's an opportunity.
So here you play. I want to see the score widen! "Stan. Van Gundy looked at Linsen and said.
Lin Sen nodded, he also knew that the Pistons must replace the inside, otherwise the physical strength would not be able to last at all, and replaced Rashid. Wallace, then the pressure is indeed much less.
"But don't be careless, don't break through if you can shoot!" Stan. Van Gundy still stressed uneasily.
"I understand! You can rest assured! Lin Sen naturally wouldn't joke with his body.
Sanders has a bit of a headache over there, and the departures of McDyce and Billups this season are fatal to the Pistons, who have not been able to get anyone on the free market and rely entirely on a limited number of players to work hard.
Now entering the second team competition, compared with the Magic, it is obviously falling behind.
This was evident in the first two games. So he can only change this game: "Tyshawn, you keep playing." Pay attention to your physical allocation.
Ronald's team needs your scoring and playing reasonably. Sanders set, and a moment later the referee blew his whistle to signal that it was time to take a timeout.
"When the timeout is up, the two sides enter the second team to compete in the first two games...... "Bill. As Wharton was talking, he saw the lineup on the court suddenly change his words, "Okay, I announced that the weaknesses of the first two games will be amplified by Orlando Wireless, Stan actually replaced Wood, he is such a staggered arrangement, I should really give him a thumbs up." Although Tyshawn is still on the court, Detroit is missing Rashid on the inside, and Rashid's presence is a huge threat to the entire Orlando team, and his temper and impulsiveness are the most fundamental reasons why Wood did not enter this game.
I wonder what Philip thinks, seeing Stan's setup. β
"Stan is moving forward like a master of on-the-spot adaptation, and this season's Coach of the Year award is the best compliment for him, and he deserves it." Hoffman said.
Sanders looked at Lin Sen who walked on the field and opened his mouth depressedly.
Originally, he was going to let Prince defend Linson well, but Linson went off, and although Prince was still on the court at the moment, if Prince continued to spend physical defense, he would not be able to hold out until the end.
"Aaron!" Sanders yelled at Afflalo on the pitch and made a gesture for him to defend Linson.
Afflalo nodded, but he was beating a drum in his heart, even though his Pistons this season have been based on defense.
But Lin Sen's offensive strength is too strong, which can't help but worry him.
And this is also the most basic embodiment of Linsen's lethality today, just like Kobe Maddy.
It will invisibly put a lot of pressure on the defenders, and this is the fundamental difference between a superstar and an ordinary player.
"Philip seems to be calling rookie Aaron, does he know that rookie Aaron is going to defend Wood?
Although I know Aaron is a player who stands on defense, I don't think he can defend against Wood! "Bill. Wharton said, looking at Afflalo.
Compared with the lineup where the Pistons are almost difficult to name, the Magic post-guard line at the moment is Linson, Sam. Kassel, the front line is Grant. Hill, the power forward is Chris. Webb, the center forward is Mutombo.
If everybody is in their prime, this lineup will be terrifying, and it's a team that can compete for a championship.
David on the sidelines. Stern looked at Linson with the ball and smiled, this season's NBA ratings and benefits have improved a lot compared to last season.
The Magic's game ratings rank first among the 30 teams in the league, and Lin Sen is undoubtedly the main factor.
Afflalo was drafted by the Pistons at No. 27 in the first round this year, and he blended in with the style of the entire team after entering the Pistons. Defend yourself in the NBA.
Regular season playing time wasn't a lot. Playing an average of nearly 20 minutes per game. He is one of the key players of the team.
As soon as Linson dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Afflalo, who was defending him, posted up.
When he touched Lin Sen's smiling eyes, Afraro couldn't help but feel fear in his heart.
The look in his eyes is not a suffocating chill, but a lightness.
It was this sense of relief that made him feel worried.
"Defend! Defend! Defend! β
The Palace of Auburn Hills cheered loudly for Afflalo, and fans wanted to see the moment when Linson was blocked.
Lin Sen lowered the center of gravity of his body and easily did continuous crotch thrusts.
Looking into Aflaro's eyes, he didn't seem to have any intention of making a move immediately.
However, Afraro did not dare to be careless. Just when he was preparing with all his heart.
Lin Sen in front of him suddenly turned around and flicked his left arm, which blocked Afflaro beside him.
Afflaro wanted to turn around, but after Lin Sen's arm made him turn around, Lin Sen sped up and shook him off completely.
Sanders couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, he didn't expect Avralo to be left behind by Lin Sen so lightly.
And Linson's passing so quickly and cutting in at such a strong speed made the Detroit fans on the scene couldn't help but marvel, and they couldn't help but sigh how good it would be if it was a Pistons player.
But they could only look at Lin Sen with envious looks and shake off Aflalo, but soon they gave Lin Sen a boo.
Past Afflalo, Linson soon came to the top of the free throw line, and on the other side of the line, Tyshawn was on the other side. Prince is just across the free-throw line.
When Linson shook off Afflalo. He threw away his defensive Grant. Hill pressed up.
And Afflalo, who failed to defend, did not choose to chase Lin Sen with a single tendon, but quickly chose to switch defenses with his teammates. Avoid Linson's pass to the open position.
Amir on the inside. Johnson was ready, but also consciously contracted his position.
Mutombo's pace and attacking prowess allowed him to shrink his position and see Linson on the verge of a double pack.
Double bag clips are a huge challenge for many people.
And there are many people who like to challenge, especially when shooting inside, Lin Sen is undoubtedly one of them.
In the first seven minutes of the first quarter, Lin Sen did not break through the inside line, although this is a requirement of the team, but for Lin Sen, who likes to break through and shoot, it is extremely uncomfortable to endure not to break through.
Not to mention forcibly restraining and not breaking through, at this moment Lin Sen seemed to rush over.
At this moment, Lin Sen is enjoying the situation in front of him, facing Prince who has come up on defense and Amir who has shrunk. Johnson.
Lin Sen slapped the ball hard, the ball smashed on the floor and rebounded quickly, and at the moment of rebound, Lin Sen's left foot stepped heavily on the floor.
At the moment, he is still almost three and a half meters away from the basket, and such a distance has a lot of options for Lin Sen, even if he is about to face a double bag.
"Wood, Wood is facing the defense on the inside, can you stop Wood without Rashid's inside? Wood looks unstoppable!
With a long-range jump, is Wood going to dunk? "Bill. Wharton shouted as he looked at the jumping Linson.
Rashid off the field. Wallace stood up: "Defend him, guard him!" Damn it, stop him! β
Prince and Amir. Johnson saw Linson's jump, and Prince jumped as soon as possible.
His extra-long arms were his biggest advantage on the defensive end, and despite jumping a little later than Linson, Prince's left hand was as far as possible towards Linson in the air.
Amir on the other side. Johnson didn't jump, but immediately stood in position and raised his arms.
Such a defense gave Linson a better option, and he lifted the ball up with his left hand.
The ball was immediately fully exposed, and Prince reached for it, seeing that Linson was just a little short of coming to the basket.
At the moment when he was about to collide with Johnson, Lin Sen collected the ball with his left hand and met it with his right hand.
In an instant, the ball traveled from the left hand to the right hand, and the left hand, which had been holding the ball, became the best weapon to stop Prince.
Johnson could only pay for one foul when he thought about jumping at this moment, and he could only feel Lin Sen and his body collide together.
The right hand gently picked the ball away from Johnson, and the whole movement was extremely fluid. Even Detroit fans have to admit in their hearts that Linson's offense this time is beautiful.
"Wood. Wood did it. The hand-to-hand basket in the air, the ball was so beautiful and really elegant, and Wood once again showed a strong non-human body.
Before Wood entered the league, the yellow race could not fly, and the yellow race could not make all kinds of flight maneuvers in the air It was recognized by fans all over the world, but Wood used his personal experience to tell everyone that the yellow race can fly.
Wood is like an inspirational drama, he tells everyone that yellow people are not impossible, but can!
I won't get tired of watching this kind of attack a million times. "Bill. Wharton said with a slight exaggeration.
The palace in Mount Auburn fell silent for a moment. Again there was a huge boo.
However, Lin Sen was undaunted and ran to the backcourt to meet the boos.
"Now Philip should be more worried that without Rashid's containment on the inside, he will not be able to contain Wood's breakthrough.
Once Wood breaks through and opens up the situation, then the entire Orlando team can be activated, and that's all that matters. Hoffman said.
Sanders was gesturing off the court, and the Pistons knew what that gesture meant.
However, at this moment, the Pistons will need to consider the offensive end, and the defensive end will still be considered.
It was Ronald who was holding the ball. Murray, Lin Sen saw him dribbling the ball over the halfway line from a distance, and his eyes narrowed slightly to resist Murray. It's like staring at a prey.
Murray, who came to the Pistons, came off the bench. But continuing the bench bandit nature during the Atlanta Hawks era, he averaged 12 points per game for the Pistons, which is the most advantageous offensive weapon on the Pistons bench.
Especially in Billups' absence, his role is even more obvious.
In the lineup at this time, Murray is also the player with the most independent offensive ability besides Prince.
Looking at Lin Sen who was waiting for him, Murray knew that Lin Sen's offensive ability was very strong, but he also knew that Lin Sen's defensive ability was not outstanding.
So he wanted to try to single Lin Sen once, looking at Lin Sen who was getting closer and closer, Murray's center of gravity lowered little by little.
Soon the two were less than half a meter apart, looking at Ronald who made a continuous crotch. Murray, Lin Sen didn't go up and press but waited.
Ronald. Murray's dribble was very large, and Lin Sen looked at Ronald in front of him with a smiling expression. Murray.
Such an expression was a smile of disdain in Murray's eyes, and it made him even more determined that he wanted to single Lin Sen.
The ball bounced back and forth between the palm of his hand and the floor, and the ball became faster and faster, and his range of movements increased.
Lin Sen followed Ronald. Murray's dribbling, as he changed his footwork, looked a little messy.
"It's now!"
Ronald. Murray muttered to his mind that Linson's defense was about to crumble.
In another big change of direction, the ball went from the left hand to the right hand, and Lin Sen in front of him slid to his right with a sliding step.
Syllable!
Ronald. Murray slammed the ball with his right hand and it flew to the ground again.
Right here at Ronald. As Murray hit the ball, Linson, who slid to the right, cut straight to the ball with his right hand at lightning speed.
Syllable!
Hearing the sound of hands and balls colliding, Ronald is waiting for the ball to arrive. Murray saw that Lin Sen's body had come to him from half a body away from him, and he immediately realized that it was not good.
"Wood, Wood Junior !!" Hoffman shouted.
At the same time as the ball was broken with his right hand, Linson's left foot was stuck in Ronald. The right side of Murray's body.
The left foot is the axis, and the right hand is pulled along the trend, sticking to Ronald. Murray's Linson next split second with Ronald Murray. Murray threw himself behind.
"Wood, Wood grabbed the ball, pulled the ball and turned around, this is a competition of speed, Wood has a complete advantage, this is an almost unfair competition, but Ronald overestimated himself!" Bill. Wharton shouted as he watched the ball pull on the court and turned around.
And Ronald who was cut off the ball. Murray also immediately turned around, accelerating at the same time as Lin Sen got up, and the whole person was clinging to Lin Sen trying to slow down Lin Sen with his body.
Ronald. Murray's dispossession was something the Pistons didn't expect, and Ronald was cut off. Murray and Linson were so entangled that they were as fast as they were in a 100-meter race against a good opponent, so much so that no one else could help.
Linson with the ball in Ronald. Murray's incessant impact didn't get rid of Ronald right away. Murray, thus getting a clear advantage.
In such a situation, two people came to the three-point line in the frontcourt.
βshitοΌβ
For Ronald. Murray's ghost lingered, and Lin Sen's mind was running fast.
The two men had already entered the free throw line, and Lin Sen made a sharp stop.
There was a screeching sound of the shoe rubbing against the floor, and both hands jerked the ball up.
Ronald, who has been fighting hard to stick to Lin Sen. Murray was caught off guard and directly staggered with Lin Sen, and when he saw Lin Sen raise the ball with both hands, he didn't want to jump up immediately.
When he jumped, he immediately regretted it, because the time he had staggered with Lin Sen just now was enough for him to complete the attack, and Lin Sen did not make an immediate move.
See Ronald. Murray jumped up, and Lin Sen immediately caught up with him.
Syllable!
Linson's left arm hit Ronald. Above Murray's right hand, the referee's whistle immediately sounded.
"Never let you hit a three."
Ronald. Murray let out a low roar in his heart, and the strength of his right hand instantly increased.
Lin Sen, who was adjusting, did not think of Ronald at all. Murray suddenly increased his strength, lost his body center of gravity at once, and the whole person fell directly to the floor.
Looking at the fallen Linson Ronald. Murray breathed a sigh of relief, a smile flashing across his face.
This smile did not escape Lin Sen's eyes, and Lin Sen, who was originally going to take protective measures, was also completely aroused.
When he was about to fall to the floor, Lin Sen aimed at the basket and forced the ball out.
Boom!
Lin Sen fell sideways, the bones on his waist hitting the floor hard.
The pain rushed to his head all of a sudden, and Lin Sen couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Boom!
Swish!
The ball that was forced to run smashed into the board and fell into the basket. (To be continued......)
