Chapter 253 Who will I tell clumsy!(2/2)
Kidd was somewhat unexpected by such a change of direction at such a close range. When Kidd wanted to defend, Lin Sen had already accelerated and cut past him from the right side of his body.
Richard Jefferson on the other side was considering whether to leave Turkoglu to cover when Linsen pulled the ball horizontally.
"Wood didn't choose to attack the inside. Did he want to shoot?" Hoffman said looking at Lin Sen who pulled the ball.
"Obviously." Lin Sen jumped up at Bill Walton's words.
He raised the ball high with his right hand, looked at the basket in the distance and flicked the ball out.
"Wood's pull-up jumper!" Hoffman shouted.
The ball quickly crossed an arc and fell straight to the basket.
Whoosh!
There was a crisp sound of the net being wiped, and the ball passed through the net and hit the floor.
"Hit again, two consecutive goals in the second half, and this time it was a pull-up jump shot, which is rare. Today's first goal was also a pull-up jump shot. Could it be that Wood is going to use a jump shot to save New Jersey tonight? It's incredible when you think about it.
"Bill Walton said with a smile.
Nets coach Frank on the sidelines was also in disbelief. Everyone knew how bad Lin Sen, a rookie, was at mid-range shooting. He did not defend Lin Sen's mid-range shooting at all.
In the practice before the game, he mainly focused on Lin Sen's defensive arrangement outside the three-point line and at the basket. However, Lin Sen had already made two mid-range shots tonight and had to be careful.
Frank decided to wait and see. If Lin Sen was still like this, he was going to call a timeout and arrange a targeted defense.
In the transition between offense and defense, Kidd brought the ball to the frontcourt.
Kidd is a traditional point guard whose primary purpose is to organize the team's offense at all times. The Nets immediately started running under Kidd's command.
Snapped!
I saw Kidd pulling and pushing the ball, and the ball went directly through Lin Sen's body.
A ball hit the ball directly to Jefferson who was using the cover. Lin Sen quickly shrank his defense.
However, Jefferson directly passed the ball back, which was completely beyond Lin Sen's expectation.
Kidd, who received Jefferson's return pass at the top of the arc, immediately raised the ball, and Lin Sen also pounced on it.
Lin Sen's jumping ability was beyond Kidd's imagination, and the ball he almost shot was blocked by Lin Sen.
clang!
After Lin Sen landed, Kidd's ball hit the front of the basket and bounced out.
Lin Sen jumped up with a lunge and easily received the defensive rebound.
Without any pause, Lin Sen directly pulled the ball, turned around and ran towards the front court.
Kidd subconsciously stretched out his hand to stop him, but Lin Sen dodged it.
Azubuike on the other side activated at the same time, and Lin Sen attacked in both directions.
Although Vince Carter retreated quickly, it was still difficult to face Lin Sen and Azubuike who were attacking from both sides.
Seeing Lin Sen making a move towards the basket, he immediately pounced on Lin Sen. Lin Sen directly passed the ball to Azubuike with a back pass, and Azubuike easily dunked the ball into the basket.
beep!
The referee blew his whistle.
"Lawrence couldn't stand anymore and was scored by Orlando in three consecutive rounds. Although the team still led by 7 points 58:51, Orlando's morale has obviously increased." Bill Walton looked at Frank on the sidelines and said.
After three consecutive attacks, the entire Shuiwu Center was in a completely different state than in the first half. Although the team was still 7 points behind, Lin Sen's performance in the second half made them believe that the deficit was only temporary.
"wood! wood! wood!"
Uniform cheers rang out in the center of the water house. Li Wei in the box felt even more eager to invite Lin Sen when he heard the cheers belonging to Lin Sen.
"This is a cheer that belongs to Wood. Although the second half has just begun, Wood's condition has obviously recovered. Just like the fans at the scene shouted, the revived Wood is the team's hope for victory." Hoffman said.
After the timeout, the Nets did not hand the ball to the outside when the Magic was tight on the outside, but handed the ball to Kostic inside.
There was only Howard inside, one-on-one offense and defense, but Howard failed to prevent Kostic's turnaround jumper.
During the transition between offense and defense, Linsen handed the ball to Howard who wanted the ball, and Howard directly beat Kostic.
However, Collins' cover interfered with Howard's hook shot, and Kostic grabbed the defensive rebound.
However, the Nets, who returned to the offensive end, failed to attack again. Jefferson rushed inside and was slapped out by Howard.
Lin Sen got the ball that was slapped by Howard, but this time the Nets retreated quickly and Lin Sen had to give up his fast break plan.
The game continued. Although the Magic did not hit a goal all of a sudden, they eroded the Nets' lead little by little. When the game came to the seventh minute of the third quarter, the Nets, which had led by 11 points in the first half, could only lead by 11 points.
Leading by 1 point at 71:70.
"Is Wood still passing the ball this time? In the second half, apart from the offensive shots after the opening, in these few minutes he attracted more defenses to help the team with passes. I think Lawrence must be very depressed that Wood did not get into the ball he customized for Wood.
Instead of using defensive tactics, he took advantage of the tilt of his defensive center of gravity to help his teammates score goals continuously." Hoffman looked at Lin Sen who dribbled the ball past the midline.
"I will score the goal myself this time!" Lin Sen said as he pulled the ball away from Carter's pressing.
"Really? Let me see your clumsy attack!" Carter responded with a smile and bumped into Lin Sen again.
Chapter completed!
