Chapter 49: The Confident Livingston

Lin Sen knew that it was irrational to let Cassel dribble calmly. As long as he was given space, he would become a victim. The last defense proved this.

So Lin Sen forced himself up. Although Lin Sen was very thin, Kassel was not strong either.

Two defenders weighing under 90 kilograms were entangled at the three-point line, and Kassel was not feeling well under Lin Sen's pressing.

In particular, he had to be careful of Lin Sen's hands. If he was not careful, he would probably be stabbed by those hands.

Lin Sen himself knew that gambling steals were not a good choice. Facing an old monster like Kassel, if gambling was not successful, it was likely that he would suffer himself, but this did not prevent Lin Sen from constantly interfering with Kassel's dribbling rhythm.

Kassel finally chose to pass the ball, and Lin Sen breathed a sigh of relief.

After receiving the ball, Cartino Mobri, who received the ball, did not choose to attack Jaric, but passed the ball to Brand, who was inside.

The first encounter between Elton Brand and Kevin Garnett, two top power forwards, ended with Brand's turn-on shot.

Without Garnett's explanation, Lin Sen also knew that the next ball was handed over to Garnett to play.

Back on the offensive end, Garnett faced Brand's defense. Although it was not in the same tonnage, Garnett won by height and arms. In the end, Garnett sent the ball into the basket with a hook.

"Your defense was good just now!" Kassel continued to smash the gum and couldn't speak clearly.

“It’s still far from it.”

Kassel smiled when he heard Linson's answer: "It's good that you know."

Hearing Kassel's words, Lin Sen was angry and put it on again.

However, this time Kassel did not allow Lin Sen to interfere this time, but dribbled the ball and slowly walked around the bottom line.

The Clippers fans were cheering constantly, obviously they all knew what Cassel wanted to do.

Kassel pressed against Lin Sen, but his thin back resisted Lin Sen's impact and harassment.

Lin Sen knew that Kassel was going to do this. In the video of Kassel he watched, the most impressive thing about him was the low-post back-to-body singles.

Calmly holding the center of gravity of his body and carrying Kassel with his chest, but his strength in Kassel was not great, but it forced Lin Sen to retreat little by little.

Lin Sen was also very unhappy when he was forced to be beaten by a 36-year-old veteran, and he gritted his teeth and pushed Kassel with all his strength.

However, Kassel turned over and jumped up, and Lin Sen jumped in a hurry, but he was powerless.

“ET!ET!ET!ET!”

The sound came in a uniform manner in the center of Staples.

Lin Sen felt a little depressed when he looked at the ball beating on the floor, although he had seen Kassel defeat many people in this way in the video highlights of Kassel.

Many of them are players with tonnage on the back line. Lin Sen really wants to ask how Kassel plays like this.

If Andre Miller of the Denver Nuggets can rely on his strong body to take advantage of his opponent in the low position, then Cassellinson in front of him really connects him with the low position back-to-body singles, without strength, height, and no bounce.

"Don't think about it, you can ask him for advice if you have time." Garnett slapped Lin Sen's butt.

At this moment, Lin Sen also didn't care about Garnett's ass slapping him, and his mind was full of hope that he would continue to become stronger.

Back at the offensive end, Lin Sen threw all other ideas out of their minds. From this point of view, Lin Sen's ability to adjust is indeed good. This is what Devin Casey and Garnett appreciate more.

Kassel looked at Lin Sen in front of him with interest. Lin Sen looked at him without any frustration at this moment, which surprised him a little.

"It looks like you're in a good mood." Kassel said with a smile.

"It's fine, but I think it'll be better if you're willing to teach me."

Kassel was a little surprised: "Are you sure?"

"certainly."

With the voice, Lin Sen's dribbling rhythm quickly became faster.

The change in rhythm made Kassel pay attention again, but Kassel's defense in front of the speed guard was really bad enough. All he could do was push the opponent into the inside and then rely on his teammates.

When he was throwing away Kassel, Kaman had already stood in front of Linsen.

Looking at Chris Kaman with exaggerated hair, Linson did not retreat, but went straight to meet him.

Chris Carman held his right hand high and stared at the ball in Linson's hand.

Facing Kaman's block, Lin Sen avoided Kaman's block with a pull rod and then pulled the ball towards the basket with his left hand.

After scoring the goal, Lin Sen quickly returned to defense and secretly made up his mind to defend Kassel's offense.

However, Kassel did not attack himself but passed the ball to Mageti, who smashed the basket with Mageti's shot.

The game time passed by minute by minute. When time came to the first quarter, Kassel used Kaman's cover to directly make a jump shot.

Not only did he get the tenth in his individual quarter with this jump shot, but he also helped the Clippers expand their lead to 8 points.

"Now I will tell you one thing, that is, 'Always believe in yourself!', this is one of my basketball philosophy." Kassel said with a smile at the helpless Lin Sen.

Devin Casey looked at Lin Sen on the court and called a timeout. Lin Sen's performance so far is in his imagination. He was beaten on the defensive end but performed well on the offensive end, but he hoped Lin Sen could learn more.

Lin Sen glanced at Kassel who was heading towards the bench and walked towards the sidelines. This was his fourth regular season game, and he experienced the feeling of being beaten up in two consecutive games.

"Don't think too much about Wood. Although he is 36 years old, he is still the most underrated guy in the league. His strength deserves any honor." Garnett put his hand on Lin Sen's shoulder.

"I can feel it, but fortunately I am still young and I can do it as long as I work hard." Lin Sen looked and pushed Garnett's arm away and said.

Garnett turned his head and looked at the sidelines. The man who broke the embarrassment of losing his first round made him the regular season MVP.

"ET, take a break, Sean, you replace ET, and the next game is left to you." Mike Dunleavy said to Livingston.

"Shawn, that rookie is not easy to deal with. Put all your energy into it, otherwise you will only be the background." Kassel said without hesitation.

Livingston had long been used to Cassel's style. He sat off the court and watched the game for so long, and had his own judgment in his heart.

Lin Sen relies more on the court on the ground to break through and cover from his teammates, and all goals were completed in the inside.

What he is best at is defending the opponent's breakthrough and fearing the tonnage-type defender. The rookie is exactly the breakthrough type, and he believes that he can handle it.

Devin Casey did not replace Linson, which annoyed Mike James but could only hold it in his heart, while Ricky Davis replaced Jaric.

"Pay attention to his three-pointer!" Cassel shouted at Livingston who was walking on the court.

But Livingston didn't take it seriously, he believed in his height and defense.

Watching Linson crossing the half-time, Livingston stayed one step inside the three-point line.

Lin Sen looked at Livingston's position choice in surprise. Although Livingston was nearly ten centimeters higher than him, such a position still made Lin Sen unable to believe it.

"Push up, push up!" Alien Kassel, who was off the field, shouted at Livingston.

Mike Dunleavy has long been accustomed to it. He is looking forward to Cassal being able to become the team's coach after retirement. He believes that Cassel can become a good coach. At this moment, what Cassel wants to say is exactly what he wants to say.

Listening to Kassel's voice, Livingston moved his footsteps to the three-point line, and his open arms made his defensive area look very large, but despite this, he and Lin Sen were still about half a meter away.

"You can think about shooting."

Linson looked at Livingston: "Consider?"

"Of course! The premise is that you are not afraid of being blocked." Livingston said gracefully.
