"Stan, let me play. My whole body is full of strength now. I feel like my hands are hot enough to shoot through the basket." Lin Sen looked at Stan Van Gundy with his eyes.

Stan Van Gundy ignored Linson and continued: "Defense, press forward, don't give them an open shot, even if they are one meter away from the three-point line. Inside, Darko, you are responsible for guarding Eddie, and Dwight, you are responsible for guarding Eddie."

Defending Zach, Zach did not perform well tonight, but his offensive strength is far from what he showed tonight, especially as he is a left-handed player."

"Stan seemed to be paying no attention to Wood, and look at how well our director captured the footage."

"Kenny, this is not good news for Orlando. If there is a conflict between Stan and Wood, then how far Orlando can go this season will be a question. Regardless of my identity as a Wood honey, no team

The team can win the championship despite many internal conflicts within the team." Barkley said with some concern.

According to reporters in the media area, Stan Van Gundy's ignoring of Lin Sen is direct evidence of the discord between the two.

"Wood, please sit down for a while and then play in the second half. This is what we agreed before, and aren't you telling your teammates that you don't believe in them?" Patrick Ewing said in Linsen's ear.

What Ewing said is absolutely correct. His eagerness to play was undoubtedly a distrust of his teammates in the eyes of his teammates.

"I understand, thank you Patrick." Lin Sen sat down again.

But Stan Van Gundy still didn't look at Lin Sen. He didn't turn around and look at Lin Sen until the timeout was up.

"Oh. What did Patrick persuade Wood? Wood sat down. Is there really a conflict?" Kenny Smith guessed.

On the other side of the technical table, Isiah Thomas secretly rejoiced. He wished that Linson and Stan Van Gundy would make a big fuss.

After the game restarted, Howard pulled out to cover for Cassel and then passed down. Cassel threw the ball high. Cassel jumped into the air like a lift and steadily caught Cassel's pass with both hands.

Then he slammed the ball into the basket.

"Oh, Dwight is back, and he made the pass in time this time. This alley-oop dunk was so powerful that he had been holding it in for half the night. I hope this dunk is the beginning of his recovery. Orlando is still 6 points behind New York.

"Barkley said as he looked at Howard celebrating with Cassell.

The Magic, who returned to the defensive end, frantically intercepted the perimeter just as Stan Van Gundy requested, although such defense left a vacuum in the mid-range.

After a three-pointer with no chance, Nate Robinson, who was holding the ball, moved to the top of the arc again. The double-fat combination of Zach Randolph and Eddie Curry inside made Milicic and Howard particularly uncomfortable.

"During the hand-to-hand fighting inside, I felt the floor shaking."

What Barkley was joking about was a true portrayal of the inside situation at this moment. Milicic was holding Eddie Curry on his back. Curry wouldn't let Curry take the position, and Howard was also carrying Randolph. But compared to Milicic, Howard couldn't.

Seize the position.

Randolph was like a ferocious black bear, struggling to push Howard behind him. After hitting Howard hard with his butt, Randolph raised his right hand to ask for the ball.

Nate Robinson, who was holding the ball, looked at Randolph who wanted the ball, and directly lobbed the ball into the paint.

Snapped!

He got the ball with his right hand, and Howard behind Randolph had to grit his teeth and carry Randolph.

Compared with Eddie Curry, although Randolph is seven centimeters shorter in height and much lighter in weight, the impact he brings to Howard is no less than that of Eddie Curry, and he is even better than Eddie Curry in the center of gravity.

The low profile made Howard even more uncomfortable.

"Putting aside Zach's poor defense and bad records off the court, if I were to choose a favorite big man on the offensive end, then I would choose Zach instead of Tim or KG. I like the way Zach plays.

I don’t know if Dwight can guard Zach." Barkley said while looking at Randolph holding the ball.

Randolph leaned against Howard with his back firmly, and after glancing at the Magic that no one else would double-team him easily, Randolph took action.

He bowed his body, swatted the ball hard, and hit Howard hard behind him.

Bang!

Howard's chest made a muffled sound under the hard impact.

"Zach is like a brown bear from Siberia, it's really scary." Kenny Smith sighed.

After two consecutive hits, Randolph turned around and leaned against Howard with his side for a feint, and sent the ball into the basket regardless of whether Howard took the hit or not.

Howard wanted to jump to block the shot, but Randolph's body was like a wall directly separating him from the ball. By the time he took off, the ball had already flown towards the basket.

"Zach completed the goal, a standard Zach card inside goal. Dwight's defense was actually very good. You can't blame Dwight for this goal." Barkley did not blame Howard for failing to guard Randolph.

Goal criticizes Howard.

However, Randolph was limited by his height. Although he succeeded in the next attack, he was also successfully defended by Howard. The last time he attacked Howard with the ball in the first half, Howard slapped the ball out of bounds.

After the Knicks' three-pointers were contained, the offensive efficiency also dropped sharply. At the end of the first half, the Magic, which was trailing by up to ten points, closed the gap to just one point.

Although they were behind in the first half, the fans were quite satisfied with the situation. The only dissatisfaction was that Lin Sen could not play. More importantly, they still did not know the reason why he could not play.

"Continue to attack in the second half, but don't force shots and keep running to take cover. The offense must be rational and coordinated." Isiah Thomas quickly drew some basic Knicks offensive tactics on the tactical board.

The atmosphere in the home team's locker room became lively again because Lin Sen came out of his slump, and Stan Van Gundy walked in.

Snapped!

Snapped!

Stan Van Gundy clapped his hands and the music stopped.

"Dwight, it looks like you are in a good mood. Yes, your defense was pretty good in the final stage. But it wasn't Eddie you were guarding. It was Zach, whose height and jump are not as good as yours. Isn't it worth being happy?"

After hearing Stan Van Gundy's words, Howard suddenly became depressed.

"You performed well in the first half, but it's a pity that we are still behind. According to the arrangement before the game, in the second half, Grant, you return to the bench, Wood comes on, and you control Wood. I believe you will make the right choice."

Stan Van Gundy looked at Linsen after watching Grant Hill.

"I will!" Lin Sen smiled and nodded. He couldn't hold himself back for a long time. If it weren't for Patrick Ewing's advice, he might have pestered Van Gundy until he was allowed to play.

"You will play with my innocence when you come on the court. I was wronged." Stan Van Gundy also made a joke, and the locker room burst into laughter.

"I don't know how Orlando will play in the second half, but based on the state of the final stage of the first half, it is unrealistic for New York to take away the victory from Orlando at home." Kenny Smith concluded.

Charles Barkley joined in and said: "Obviously yes, Orlando strangled their three-pointers in the final stage of the first half. In the second half, they continued to defend at this pace and then pursued the success rate on the offensive end to win. However, it is very possible.

In the first half of New York today, Steph didn't have much of an impact, including Jamal, who was clamoring to beat Orlando before the game. Maybe there will be a change in the second half."

Carolina and Natalie Portman sitting on the sidelines are particularly eye-catching. Not because they are beautiful women but because they have bodyguards standing next to them, just like the scenes in the movie.

"Look at the poor reporters. They wanted to go up for an interview, but they saw Wood's bodyguard, haha." Buckley smiled happily, especially when he saw a reporter trying to go up but was ruthlessly blocked.

"Everyone in Orlando supports Wood, from Wood himself to his family. If they don't go back, I even doubt they will be able to get out of the Waterhouse Center." Kenny Smith listened to the boos from the reporters.

Of course, those who tried to interview Carolina and Natalie Portman but were blocked and refused to go back were all out-of-town reporters and not local reporters in Orlando. Local reporters in Orlando and Orlando fans have the same feelings for Lin Sen and Lin Sen’s family.

They are very protective and will not mess around.

This makes Lin Sen have a better impression of the city of Orlando and a greater sense of identity.

The twenty-minute halftime break passed quickly during the performance. Players from both sides walked out of the tunnel, and three bodyguards led by Anche Brown were guarding Carolina and Natalie Portman.

He also withdrew.

"Okay, the players from both sides are back on the field, and the second half of the game is about to begin." Barkley said as he looked at the players walking out of the tunnel.

"Oh, what's going on? Wood seems to be playing." Kenny Smith said as he looked at Linsen who had taken off his training clothes.

The fans at the scene also discovered this and immediately burst into applause after reacting.

"wood!"

"wood!"

"wood!"

…

"I'm really jealous," Howard said with his lips curled up.

"This is my charm." Lin Sen replied with a smile, then raised his right hand high, and the cheers in the center of the water house became even crazier.

"Look, this is the charm of Wood, the charm of the King of Orlando. They still have the greatest trust in Wood. I am starting to look forward to the second half of the game. I wonder what Isiah will think?"

"Charles, maybe he is expecting Wood to perform poorly like he did in the first three games. Of course, this possibility is not ruled out, although I don't want this to happen again like you." Kenny Smith looked at the Knicks specifically.

bench.

The on-site director, like Kenny Smith, focused the camera on Isiah Thomas. Isiah Thomas's expression changed after seeing Lin Sen come on the court, but he quickly returned to normal, but it was a pity that his expression changed.

The changes in expression could not escape the capture of the camera.

"I seem to feel that the morale of the entire Waterhouse Center is different. Wood replaced Grant and became the Magic's starting shooting guard in the second half. Let's take a look at Wood, who has been in poor form in the past three games and is deeply involved in disagreements between generals and family conflicts.

What kind of performance." With Kenny Smith's words, the referee blew his whistle, and the second half of the game officially started.

The Knicks were the first to attack in the second half. Stephon Marbury took Eddie Curry's serve and took his time forward.

Throughout the first half, Marbury's offense was limited. He only took 4 shots, hit 2 goals and scored 5 points. However, he did provide 5 assists.

Dribbling the ball to the frontcourt, Lin Sen was responsible for defending him.

Looking at Lin Sen getting closer and closer, Marbury finally stopped half a body away from Lin Sen.

This was not the first time he had played against Lin Sen. He knew Lin Sen was very difficult when he was still a rookie, let alone this season.

Lin Sen remained unmoved by the continuous cross steps.
