Chapter 243: Victory

At the start of the second quarter, both the Magic and the Clippers were on the second lineup. Van Gundy didn't put Chris on the back of the team just because the team was behind. Webb and Grant. Hill comes on the pitch.

But in Stan. Inspired by Van Gundy, and under the Clippers' defensive changes, the Magic and the Clippers played half-heartedly.

When the fifth minute of the second quarter came, Linson on the bench stood up.

Wood stood up, it looked like Wood was definitely going to play, Stan was still explaining something, and Wood at least looked confident. Hoffman looked at Linson and Stan on the sidelines. Van Gundy said.

"Toot!"

With a whistle, Stan. Van Gundy forced a short timeout, simply emphasizing sticking to the "Wood" tactic.

"Maybe Orlando has found a way." Bill. Wharton said with a smile when he looked at the fact that it was not Linsen who was holding the ball on the court, but Tekoglu.

"That's how I feel, too." Hoffman chimed in.

Tekoglou dribbled the ball through the half, and was confident in the so-called "Wood" tactic, especially when the opponent didn't realise it, with more than 90 percent certainty of opening the deadlock.

Once the ice is broken, a lot of the time becomes simpler.

When he was still more than a meter away from Margeti, Linson not only did not ask for the ball, but ran farther away from Tekoglu.

Margeti stared cautiously at Lin Sen in front of him, he didn't dare to be careless, and Livingston on the side was also eyeing him.

Linson suddenly accelerated from about 45 degrees to the top of the middle arc, a move that made Margeti nervous and attracted Livingston to the first time to the bag.

However, before Livingston's bag was in place, Lin Sen made a sharp stop and turned.

Margeti's reaction was quick. But a body held him back.

"Cover!" Bill. Wharton shouted.

Linson used Azubuuk's cover to shake off Margeti and go straight inside.

Inside Elton. Brand and Chris. Kaman stared at Lin Sen who rushed in. Even if Lin Sen doesn't have the ball in his hands at the moment.

But Dwight. Howard and Tekoglou, who shrunk back from the outside to Arroyo, helped Linson solve the problem.

When Lin Sen ran out of the inside line. There was no one around.

"Wood continued to borrow cover to run out of position, and it was clear that they were hoping for crazy pick-and-roll covers." Bill. Wharton looked at Lin Sen, who was running into the empty seat in the bottom corner of the side, and said.

Arroyo saw that Lin Sen was about to run out of the vacant position and passed the ball in his hand without hesitation, and Lin Sen came to him as soon as he landed the ball.

Steadily catching the pass, at the moment in the open position, for Lin Sen, who had a three-point shooting rate of 44% in the regular season, he would not be polite, and immediately jumped up and down when he looked at the basket in the distance.

"It's beautiful, Wood's shooting posture is even more beautiful than the textbook shot." Hoffman exclaimed.

Looking at the basket, his fingers flicked. The basketball immediately flew away from Lin Sen's palm.

The ball slashed through a perfect arc to Staples' boos and crashed straight to the basket.

Despite the reluctance of the Staples, the ball passed steadily through the Nets and sent a white wave.

"Well done! That's it! "Stan. Van Gundy shook his fist, a tactic that may seem like a simple non-stop cover, but it is extremely important for the Magic and will be the most important weapon for the team when they can't open the situation.

Lin Sen gave Arroyo a thumbs up to show his gratitude, and Devin in front of the TV. Casey looked at Linson on TV with some surprise, if he didn't trade Linson then he must be seriously preparing for the playoffs now instead of making efforts to the playoffs, and this effort seems to be getting more and more difficult.

"That's it, cast them to death, or I won't be able to spare you!" Paul shook his fist excitedly. Although the Clippers still lead the Magic by as many as 12 points at the moment, he believes that the Magic will be able to stage a comeback.

The Clippers' offense is once again in the hands of their leader, Brand. Lin Sen, who was on the outside, wanted to go up to make up for the defense, but Margeti made him a little jealous and had to give up the plan to go up to make up the defense.

Elton. Brand faced Tecoglou's defense, turned and sent the ball to the Magic basket after a back-to-back shot, stretching the gap to 14 points.

"Elton's form is the biggest guarantee that the Clippers can make the playoffs, and the Clippers need him to play well, and if Stan doesn't make a substitution, Sido can't defend Elton at all." Hoffman said, looking at the Magic bench.

Switching offense and defense, Linsen still did not dribble, but handed the ball to Arroyo.

However, after halftime, Linson leaned on Margeti to pass the basketball.

Linson tentatively bumped into Margeti behind him with his back, then turned to face Margeti's defense head-on and made a triple threat move.

Margeti raised one hand and stretched it out in front of Lin Sen's eyes, Lin Sen stood firmly on his left foot, and his right foot tried twice in a row.

Tekoglu, who was on the inside, glanced at Lin Sen and immediately pulled it out.

This move made Elton. Brand had to pull out immediately, knowing that Tekoglu's outside shooting ability is very strong, and if he doesn't go out, Tekoglou will have a great chance.

With the help of Tekoglu's cover, Linson shook off Margeti's defense, and then at the moment he shook off the defense, Linson made a pass directly to Azubuk, and the moment Linson passed the ball, Dwight. Howard also ran to Linson.

With Howard's cover, Linson once again shook off Carman's defense, and Azubuuk also passed the ball to Arroyo, who unceremoniously made a direct pass to the ground, and the ball went directly to the inside.

At this time, Lin Sen was completely empty, and in the face of the unguarded basket, Lin Sen easily sent the ball into the basket.

"Obviously, Orlando has the idea of blocking and dispensing, and he has done this on two consecutive offenses, while the Clippers' defense has no way, and Mike may have to make adjustments." Hoffman looked at Mike on the sidelines. Dunleavy.

Immediately after that, the Clippers' offense hit the Magic's defense, and Howard picked up the defensive rebound.

Lin Sen immediately stretched out his hand to signal Howard to pass the ball, and after receiving the ball, Lin Sen's whole person immediately accelerated.

Before Margeti could react. Lin Sen had already passed the front court.

Livingston's quick retreat. Retreat to the free throw line. However, instead of hitting the inside, Lin Sen made an emergency stop directly outside the three-point line.

When Livingston realized what Lin Sen was thinking, it was too late, and Lin Sen immediately jumped up with a sudden stop and threw the ball directly unreasonably.

This time, the three-point shot of the chase allowed Mike off the court. Dunleavy tensed.

Although the team still led by 10 points, he couldn't sit still and was ready to call a timeout.

However, the Clippers' offense hit the ground again, but this time the Clippers didn't give the Magic a chance to break fast.

Lin Sen dribbled the ball through the half of the court this time, and Margeti immediately pressed it after the half.

Lin Sen stopped at the top of the arc and looked at Margeti with his arms outstretched, but Lin Sen had no intention of stopping his movements.

A crotch change of direction. Margeti was unmoved, still staring at Lin Sen with his arms open.

With another change of direction under his crotch, Lin Sen's whole person suddenly started to accelerate, and Livingston on the side also moved, he needed to block Lin Sen's forward route.

Boom!

However, Livingston and the fast-moving Margeti felt like they were hitting a wall at the same time, and when they got around, Linson was already outside the three-point line.

Swish!

Another crisp sound of wiping the net made those who were expecting the magic victory cheer.

The three-pointer narrowed the gap to within 10 points, leaving only seven points to give hope to those who support the Magic.

"Nice defense, Sean obviously didn't expect Wood's sudden appearance." Hoffman watched Linson on the court suddenly appear in front of Livingston, causing Livingston to strike a glorious iron.

Tekoglou grabbed the defensive rebound, and the Magic's offense immediately returned, barely changing from the offense just now. The only thing that changed was that Linson once again did not have the ball but ran off the ball again, and once again found an open space with the help of Howard and Azubuike's cover.

Catch hits. It's as simple as that, the difference came to 4 points.

The entire second quarter was completely Lin Sen's personal shooting performance time, constantly slipping out of the open space with the help of pick-and-roll cover, and then the rest was to catch and shoot.

Although Dunleavy called a timeout and the Clippers' offense improved, it was still difficult defensively.

At the end of the second quarter, Lin Sen had scored 21 points, and the two sides were tied.

"It's a third quarter Zuihou offense, Mike. Will Dunleavy have the urge to commit suicide, Wood's movement is still his biggest headache, and now Orlando is on the leading side. ”

With the help of Howard's cover, Linson bypassed Margety's marking, and rushed directly to the inside, looking at Brand's defense, Linson handed the ball to the high post Tekoglou with a back pass, but he did not stop running, and the whole person slipped to the bottom line.

Tekoglu immediately passed the ball to Linson, who received the ball and rushed into the interior again, a stop-and-go shooting action picked up Brand, and then leaned directly into himself to hear the referee's whistle and threw the ball into the basket.

"Clever play." Bill Wharton couldn't help but admire Linson's choice.

However, in the fourth quarter, the Clippers recovered, and the Magic could not prevent the Clippers' offense, and the two sides launched an offensive battle.

With three minutes left in the fourth quarter, the home Clippers trailed the Orlando Magic by two points.

"Attack! Offensive! Offensive! ”

In the Staples audience, they gathered into a huge boost to cheer on the Clippers players.

Cassel came to the front court with steady possession, and the experienced man did not rashly choose to attack, but chose to press the team's rhythm to stabilize the player's mentality, Arroyo looked at Cassel in front of him cautiously.

Margeti at the top of the arc gave his index point to the offensive tactics the Clippers were about to execute.

Lin Sen, who was keeping an eye on Margeti, scanned every player on the field, ready to defend at any time.

Elton. Brandra stepped out, which made Linson improve his focus.

Cassel used the cover to shake off Arroyo and cut inside, and Linson realized what was going on, and Margeti pounced on Elton. Brand.

Margeti ran at the same time, but Linson was still slow and was blocked by Brand, and could only watch Margeti shake off the defense.

Kassel passed the ball to Margeti behind the screen, and Magetti hit a pull-up jumper.

"Los Angeles equalised!" Hoffman shouted.

Mike Dunleavy on the sidelines shook his fist, and the ball was too crucial.

At this moment, the Clippers are focused on defense, they really want to defend this ball, and the whole team is 100% energetic and eager to stick it to the Magic players like a piece of dog skin plaster.

"Rookie, we won't lose to you." Margeti clung to Linsen.

The 24-second offensive time is getting less and less, but Lin Sen doesn't look in a hurry.

"Get one! Enter one! Paul in front of the TV looked at Lin Sen on the screen and said.

Tekoglu on the inside pulled out, and at the same time Lin Sen finally moved.

As Lin Sen accelerated, his left elbow swept across Margeti's chest.

A casual sweep slowed down Margeti, who was already overstretched.

With the help of Tekoglu's cover, Lin Sen rushed in at an accelerated speed.

Elton in the face of the pounced defense. Instead of shooting directly, Brandlinson opted for a high throw, and the basketball was able to leapfrog Elton. Brand's fingers flew behind him.

Dwight on the other side of the basket. Howard jumped up with a loud roar and slammed Linson's ball directly into the basket.

"A crucial air relay! Wood played really patiently, but it turned out well! "Bill. Wharton said with a smile.

Trailing by two points again at crunch time, the Clippers are feeling the pressure.

Even more lethal was the Clippers' next-round offensive rebound, with Azubuike grabbing a key defensive rebound.

"This shot really shouldn't have been missed." Hoffman said.

However, returning to the offensive end, the Magic did not use cover, but pulled away to let Lin Sen single.

Yikes!

The fierce friction between the passing generation and the floor at his feet made a screeching sound, and an acceleration directly threw Margeti away, at which point Livingston on the side immediately made up for it.

Lin Sen didn't dodge at all, and instead rushed towards Livingston with a kick of his left foot.

When Livingston was surprised, Lin Sen rushed directly to his right side, and Lin Sen's left shoulder passed Livingston.

Lin Sen's sudden pass really didn't make the Clippers expect, and Lin Sen's non-stop use of cover in this game made them mistakenly think that Lin Sen would only play with cover.

After passing Livingston, Lin Sen was not prepared to slow down at all, and rushed directly to the inside line.

And under the basket is Captain Elton. Brand!

When most people were thinking about what kind of offense Lin Sen would choose, Lin Sen rushed to the basket without hesitation.

Looking at Elton under the basket. Brand was already in full swing, Lin Sen adjusted his pace, and when he was still a meter and a half away from Brand, he stepped heavily with his left foot!

For!

Lin Sen's whole person rose into the air, and everyone understood what Lin Sen wanted to do at this moment.

After Lin Sen jumped, Brand jumped.

He has already committed five fouls, and his jump is a beat slower, and he obviously loses the upper hand in the air.

Boom!

Lin Sen didn't choose to dodge but directly collided with Elton who made a downward pressure action. Brand heard the whistle.

Brand immediately realized that it was bad, but it was too late.

The people at the Staples Center also knew what the whistle meant, but it was too late.

Listening to the whistle, Lin Sen dodged a lever and sent the ball into the basket.

"Deadly two plus one!" Bill. Wharton shouted.

Linson's free throw gave the Magic a five-point lead, and the Clippers, who lost Brand, ultimately lost the crucial game.

Lin Sen, who scored 41 points in the game, is undoubtedly the biggest contributor! (To be continued......)
