Chapter 29 The next scene: blood boils and body
During the break, Devin Casey praised the team's performance in the first half. The 17-point lead really makes the team's play easier in the second half.
The first half of the game was very satisfied with the fans, and the fans' cheers did not stop just as the second half began.
The Trail Blazers' first offense in the second half ended with Yuduka receiving Jack's breakthrough pass and hitting a three-pointer.
However, no one in the Timberwolves cares too much about this three-pointer. After all, it is impossible not to let the Trail Blazers score a goal, and it is a goal scored by Yuduka, a person who is easily overlooked on the defensive end.
The offense and defense conversion Lin Sen took the ball through the half and handed it to Mike James. Devin Casey did not change the starting lineup of the second half because the two started at the same time in the first half.
Looking at Mike James holding the ball on the court, Devin Casey really wanted to see what he wanted to see, that is, there was some interaction between the two and could see Mike James' cooperation like the second quarter and Ricky Davis.
Jarret Jack did not relax his defense because Lin Sen did not hold the ball, and kept following Lin Sen tightly.
Mike James, who was holding the ball, signaled Garnett to pull out to cover, while Linson ran directly to the other side after going around the three-point line, but the speed was not fast, which gave Jack the opportunity to follow the defense.
With Garnett's cover, Mike James threw away Roy who was defending him and cut directly into the inside. However, this time Mike James did not rush to take action against the Trail Blazers' backup defense, but chose to pass back to Kevin Garnett, who was the high-level cover for him.
Just as Garnett received the ball, Lin Sen suddenly accelerated.
With his right foot, he stepped heavily on the floor, and he quickly turned around and ran towards Garnett's side. Faced with the sudden situation, Jack reacted and immediately accelerated to chase Lin Sen.
Seeing Lin Sen running over, Garnett immediately passed the ball and provided a cover for Lin Sen.
Jack, who was still catching up with Lin Sen's hope, was blocked by Garnett's body, and could only watch Lin Sen stop outside the three-point line.
Just as Linson was about to take a jump shot, Brandon Roy appeared in front of him.
"Branton, you are so nice to me. You are so good to me. You are so good to me everywhere." He quipped at Roylinson in front of him.
After retracting the action of preparing to shoot, he held the ball with both hands and made a basic three-threat offensive action on his waist.
However, Lin Sen did not attack by himself but passed the ball directly to Garnett, who had just finished covering for him and cut from the middle to the basket.
Lin Sen's pass choice surprised Roy. He didn't expect that Lin Sen actually chose to pass the ball instead of attacking himself.
However, Lin Sen did not stop his pace after passing the ball. Taking advantage of Roy's guard, Lin Sen accelerated and bypassed Roy and then cut from forty-five degrees to the basket.
Lin Sen was very fast and rushed to the middle distance in one second. Garnett, who was holding the ball, immediately distributed the ball to Lin Sen.
Magloyl looked at Lin Sen who received the pass from Garnett and immediately moved his footsteps to block Lin Sen.
Lin Sen rushed directly to Maglouil with a kick, looking not afraid of his repair.
When he was less than one meter away from Magloil, he stopped suddenly and quickly pulled the ball with both hands.
Magloil subconsciously jumped up, 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 fake move.
After seeing Magloire jumping up and pounce on him, Lin Sen jumped up, and his body deliberately got a little staggered with Magloire, but Lin Sen was not to avoid it but to make himself safer to play two plus one.
Lin Sen didn't want to not only fail to cause two plus one to be hit by Magloil. Lin Sen is unwilling to do such a loss-making deal.
As soon as he leaned against Magloire, the bottom line referee immediately blew the whistle in his mouth.
Hearing the whistle, Lin Sen threw the ball towards the basket with satisfaction.
"YES!" Lin Sen clenched his fists to celebrate after landing, while Magloire's face was a little bad. No one felt uncomfortable if he was teased by a rookie.
Lin Sen, who stood on the free throw line, made another free throw, and with Lin Sen's extra free throw, the Timberwolves once again brought the lead back to 17 points.
The game continued, and Linson and Mike James replaced the defense. After all, Mike James was shorter than Linson.
Lin Sen was entangled with Roy like a dog-skin plaster. It has to be said that Lin Sen's speed and his stubborn attitude made Roy unable to find a good opportunity. In the end, the Trail Blazers did not pass Roy's hand during this attack, but was attacked by Zach Randolph of the inside. However, Randolph's first excellence in the second half seemed to have no sense of hot touch in the first half. His mid-range shot directly hit the basket.
Devin Casey was very satisfied with Lin Sen's defense this time. In his opinion, although Lin Sen was slightly worse in physical condition, he was very positive on the defensive end, and his physical condition was only poor in weight. Lin Sen's strength was still OK. As long as Lin Sen slowly adapted to the rhythm of the league and had more experience in the game, then the defense would sooner or later make significant progress.
Garnett took the defensive rebound and handed the ball to Mike James, and Linson led Roy to the frontcourt.
However, after arriving at the frontcourt, Linson still received the ball. Although it was not directly passed by Mike James, Devin Casey was already very satisfied. At least Mike James did not play solo.
After receiving the ball, Lin Sen changed directions continuously and tore Roy's defense directly, attracted Yuduka's backup defense and directly passed the ball to Hassel, who was unaware of the defense from the outside.
Hassel did not waste Linson's pass and made a three-pointer directly.
The 20-point difference made the fans at the target center cheer wildly, and in their opinion, such a leading advantage is only a matter of time before the game wins.
Although the Trail Blazers played very hard in the next game, they still couldn't narrow the gap to less than 10 points.
When there were four minutes left in the fourth quarter, Lin Sen first made a completely unreasonable ultra-long three-pointer.
Then the defensive end directly cut the Trail Blazers' cross, and staged a one-stop heavy tug with both hands.
Then he tore the defense and rushed to the basket, not only completed the goal, but also transferred Ratliff's foul, and got his third chance to play two plus one in this game.
However, this time Lin Sen also fell heavily on the floor.
Lin Sen, who stood on the free throw line, made a free throw not only increased his personal score in this game to 18 points, but also helped the Timberwolves expand their lead to 19 points again.
In the end, the Trail Blazers failed to overtake, and the Timberwolves defeated the Trail Blazers by 17 points at home and achieved two consecutive victories in the new season.
18 points, 11 assists, 4 rebounds, 4 steals and 1 blocked. This is the data Lin Sen handed over 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 won two double-double games in a row, is still a little worse, which makes some media begin to advocate Lin Sen's future.
"Those guys are just positive and negative. They say you can, and they must be looking forward to your next scene of being beaten up." David Falke said with a smile.
"Of course I know, but I can't keep their mouths shut. The next game is really difficult. I guess my defensive end will be very bad, but I will still do my best."
Lin Sen's opponent in the next game appeared in his mind, the scoring maniac Arenas.
Although Lin Sen only played two regular season games, his three-pointers have left a deep impression on many people, especially the unreasonable three-pointers and is good at distances. This reminds people of Arenas, the core of the Timberwolves' opponent Wizards, in the next game.
Thinking about the scene of two three-pointers fighting, it is enough to make people feel excited, but other uniform groups are still looking forward to the scene of Lin Sen being exposed to be incomplete.
