Chapter 389 27 points revenge knight(1/2)
Thanks to the support center for the big reward!

"Two people can't stop Wood. Wood is as flexible as a field mouse that can't be caught. I know my metaphor is a bit bad, but I can't think of a better word." Barkley said with a smile.
Kenny Smith smiled: "Well, actually this metaphor is quite good. This ball completely reflects Wood's ability to read the defense. It was just a moment of opportunity that Wood seized. This is what a top scorer should have.
With his ability, there is no doubt that Wood will become a top scorer, and I am very optimistic about his future."
With Lin Sen's dunk, the Magic once again expanded their lead to ten points.
The Cavaliers, who returned to the offensive end, failed to complete the goal. Under Battier's defense, James' jump shot hit the basket and Eddie Griffin grabbed the defensive rebound.
Lin Sen took the ball forward unhurriedly. When he came to the frontcourt, it was no longer Larry Hughes who was mainly defending James but James was directly facing Lin Sen.
Although he has only been in the league for a little over a year and two months, Lin Sen has already become a lifelong enemy for many people.
For example, good buddies Chris Paul and chubby Deron Williams, but obviously LeBron James, who is also in the Eastern Conference, is more in line with the definition of Lin Sen's lifelong enemy, even if he and Lin Sen are not the same.
position, but this does not prevent reporters from treating Lin Sen as James' lifelong enemy.
Both of them are candidates for the league's new god-making movement, both bear the indecent reputation of being their godfather, David Stern, and both have dazzling personal data and unparalleled commercial value.
Although Lin Sen debuted three years later than James, not only in the eyes of the media but also in James's own mind, Lin Sen is his biggest enemy when he gets out of the stable O'Brien Cup in the Eastern Conference. Especially last year, when Lin Sen was still a rookie, he stepped on him and entered the finals.
The 20-point victory over the Magic in the first matchup of the new season made him feel better for a long time, but until now after this game, his mood has not improved at all.
"LeBron's defense on Wood is really tight!" Kenny Smith joked. "Maybe he also wanted Wood to experience the defensive end, and then told Wood not to let Ron and Sean defend him so tightly."
James' tight defense did make Lin Sen feel a little uncomfortable, but Lin Sen was not the only one who attacked.
Eddie Griffin, who turned down a bigger contract to come to the Magic for Lin Sen and had no complaints about his playing time, was directly pulled out to cover for Lin Sen.
The cooperation between Lin Sen and Eddie Griffin was extremely skillful. With the help of a screen, he temporarily got rid of James and then Lin Sen went straight to the inside.
Larry Hughes on the other side immediately gritted his teeth and rushed over. He never wanted Lin Sen to score. However, Lin Sen had no intention of taking action himself. At the same time, James, who had bypassed Eddie Griffin behind him, also pursued him.
Came over.
"Wood is like a fragrant and crispy bone that attracts Larry and LeBron to chase after him." Barkley's metaphor made the Cavaliers fans in front of the TV grit their teeth.
Eddie Griffin, who had finished covering for Lin Sen, did not stay where he was but went directly from the other side. Lin Sen pulled the ball with his right hand and flicked his wrist. The ball hit the ground from his crotch and went straight to the other side.
One side.
Eddie Griffin easily caught the ball and took a mid-range shot against Varejao who was still in the paint. The ball went steadily into the basket.
One minute later, as Griffin fouled Varejao's thug, Linsen was replaced by Alien Cassel.
LeBron James, who played nearly ten minutes in the third quarter, still did not choose to rest but continued to stay on the court. The Cavaliers hoped to seize this time to narrow the point difference.
James was disappointed that his hard work did not pay off. In the last two points of the third quarter, James helped the Cavaliers narrow the point difference to 7 points, the smallest difference since the third quarter.
Lin Sen, who was sitting on the bench, glanced at James who was walking off the court. James didn't have a long rest in the first half, but for a while he had to face the two defensive giants Artest and Battier.
The energy consumed by defense can be imagined.
Although James did not experience double-teaming by Artest and Battier again in the third quarter, he played a full 12 minutes in a one-on-one situation. Lin Sen believes that even James is inhuman in such a high-intensity confrontation.
It's not easy to stay in good shape for a long time in the fourth quarter unless you take a long break. But is it possible?
"It will definitely not be easy for LeBron tonight, so we have to seize this point to make them desperate as soon as possible. Wood, Chauncey, you guys come on the field from the beginning of the fourth quarter. What I want is offense. The sooner the crazy offense starts,
The better the score difference is, forcing LeBron to play early, and then Ron and Sean will play together." Stan Van Gundy's smile made everyone in the Magic feel sad for James.
Stan Van Gundy looked at Linsen: "Wood, I believe you will be happy to score."
Pointing to Lin Sen's left arm, Van Gundy smiled and said: "LOVE will support you moving forward!"
"That's necessary." Lin Sen responded with a smile. The 20-point loss to the Cavaliers in the last game has always made him worried. The Magic's 7-point lead in the first three quarters tonight is only temporary. The Cavaliers will return the money with profits.
is his ultimate goal.
"The game is finally about to begin in the fourth quarter. The Magic led by 7 points in the first three quarters, but everyone can see how much LeBron struggled tonight, and his struggle made the entire Cleveland game particularly uncomfortable... Oh
, Orlando did not let Wood and Chauncey rest but directly let them play at the beginning of the fourth quarter."
"Kenny, I've seen the painful expression on Mike Brown's face. He certainly didn't expect that Stan would give him such a big gift at the beginning of the fourth quarter." Barkley smiled a little exaggeratedly, "I
A moment of silence in advance for what will happen to the Cavaliers' backcourt."
Mike Brown didn't expect Stan Van Gundy to do this at all. The Cavaliers' backcourt combination is Daniel Gibson and Damon Jones, one is 1.88 and the other is 1.91. Although the Magic's backcourt double guns Billups and Linson are not very tall.
The highs are only 1.91 and 1.93.
But the two of them are not good at defense. Not to mention they are facing Billups and Linsen, two players whose offensive abilities at the back are first-class.
Although Alexander Pavlovich is 2.03 in height and is good at defense, and he often faced off with Lin Sen in last year's playoffs, he needs to defend Grant Hill. Where is Lin Sen and Billups?
"Sir Charles, I agree with you. I think Mike will make substitutions soon!" Kenny Smith looked at the Cavaliers' lineup and expressed the same opinion as Barkley.
The first to attack in the fourth quarter was Magic who succeeded with a jump ball in the opening game. Looking at the lineup of the Cavaliers, Lin Sen felt no pressure at all.
Looking at Lin Sen dribbling the ball forward, little Daniel Gibson knew that staying where he was was courting death, so he immediately pressed forward to harass him.
Lin Sen was not surprised by Gibson's initiative, but even if Gibson took the initiative, he didn't feel the pressure.
Facing the approaching Daniel Gibson, Lin Sen directly blocked him with his back.
When Gibson was thankful that he had stopped attacking, Linsen, without any sympathy for the weak, used his strength to hit Gibson behind him.
The poor little one took a step back under Lin Sen's impact, and the fans at the Water House Center cheered loudly.
Taking advantage of the situation, he turned around and accelerated. When Gibson finally controlled his pace, Lin Sen had already passed by him, leaving Gibson with only a gust of wind.
"Poor Daniel!" Buckley's tone was full of sympathy.
When Damon Jones on the other side was still hesitating whether to cover up the defense, Lin Sen had already made a sudden stop outside the three-point line, jumped high, looked at the basket in the distance and shot the ball directly.
The ball went smoothly into the basket. Lin Sen, who made a three-point gesture, enjoyed the cheers of the audience.
"It was indeed too easy. If I were Mike, I would ask for a timeout now and make a substitution. If I didn't take the initiative to call a timeout, I have no doubt that the point difference would not be ten points but twenty points in two minutes. Unless he
I'm willing to bet on the Magic's touch." Kenny Smith expressed his point of view, and Mike Brown thought so too, but in order not to waste a precious timeout so early, he decided to wait.
This hesitant mentality cost him a heavy price. The Cavaliers, who returned to the offensive end, were forced by the Magic to make a hasty move in the last twenty-four seconds, which resulted in a direct advantage for Lin Sen.
Lin Sen slapped Gibson without hesitation, knocking Gibson's hasty shot out of bounds when the 24-second attack time was up.
"Wood should thank Mike's arrangement for easily increasing the possibility of his blocking statistics." Barkley said while looking at the sidelines.
After receiving the ball, Lin Sen came to the frontcourt again. After the depressing experience of being knocked away last time, Gibson did not press Lin Sen again this time, but stood almost thirty centimeters in front of Lin Sen.
Dribbling the ball without any pressure, Lin Sen glanced at Gibson in front of him and decided to make a fuss about his height, even though his height was not very high.
Lin Sen made a crotch dribble and then jumped directly in front of Gibson without any warning. Gibson's reaction speed was not slow at all. But his height and jumping were completely incomparable to Lin Sen's.
"Three-pointers and two consecutive hits, the key is that Wood scored so easily and almost didn't feel any pressure. Isn't Mr. Mike Brown ready to make a substitution?" Kenny Smith once again voiced the voice of many Cavaliers fans.
.
Barkley next to Kenny Smith smiled and said: "Even substitutions may not be effective. Wood is possessed by the God of Cupid tonight. No one can stop him. Oh, look at his data. He has surpassed himself."
The score increased to 30 points tonight, and tonight will be Wood's 40-point night."
"Mike seems to be explaining something to Daniel again, but I think Cleveland fans must be expecting more of a timeout. No matter how precious a timeout is, it will lose its meaning once you are too far behind. It's better to call it now." Kenny Smith looked at the sidelines and shouted.
Gibson said what Mike Brown said.
Under Linson's pressure, Gibson passed the ball to Drew Gooden inside. He is the only player in the Cavaliers' lineup with good independent offensive ability.
But under the care of Eddie Griffin, Gooden's hook failed to hit, and Mutombo took the defensive rebound directly over Varejao's head.
Just when Mutombo passed the ball to Linsen, Gibson hugged Linsen directly instead of returning to defense. The whistle sounded immediately. Mike Brown on the sidelines immediately waved to signal the substitution.
"It turns out that Mike Brown had this idea. He took advantage of the foul opportunity to make substitutions, which could save a timeout. It seems like a good idea, but I don't know what the effect will be after the substitution. Anyway, I'm not optimistic that Cleveland can restart.
Take control." Barkley continued to insist that Magic was the only philosophy he supported.
"Mike Brown replaced Damon Jones with Larry Hughes. Obviously he didn't want to see Wood shooting without pressure anymore, but Larry didn't perform well in defending Wood one-on-one." Kenny
Smith commented.
"Dear Mr. Blue Pill, welcome back!" Lin Sen said with a smile.
Larry Hughes was filled with hatred, and he also regretted that he would bring up the little blue pill tonight, but it turned out to be him: "Stop talking nonsense!"
"OK, I shut up!" Lin Sen shrugged.
Daniel Gibson failed to find a good offensive opportunity under Billups' defense. Seeing Linsen was some distance away from Larry Hughes, he immediately threw the ball over.
Larry Hughes saw the ball flying over and immediately rushed to meet it. However, Larry Hughes felt his eyes darken and a gust of wind blew over, and a hand appeared between him and the flying ball in advance.
Snapped!
Bang!
Lin Sen's right hand hit the ball accurately, and the right side of his body collided with Larry Hughes, causing both of them to stumble at the same time.
"Wood, Wood steals, I once again mourn for poor Daniel!" Barkley patted the commentary box.
The center of gravity of his body was lost due to the impact. Lin Sen tilted to the left. Daniel Gibson on the other side was shocked and turned around immediately when he saw Lin Sen rushing out.
When he saw Lin Sen losing his center of gravity, his depression immediately turned into excitement, and he chased the ball hard. Billups, who was guarding Gibson, also got up and chased after him.
