The representatives of major magazines who participated in the bidding meeting this afternoon did not choose the box but chose the sidelines. At this moment, they felt the madness in the water house center.

Especially those representatives who had not watched basketball much before felt the charm of basketball.

"Leon's active defense resulted in an extra penalty. In fact, when he saw Wood rushing in, he should have chosen to avoid instead of defending." Bill Walton joked.

Enjoying the cheers of the audience, Lin Sen walked to the free throw line. The referee Crawford on duty patted the ball and threw it to Lin Sen.

"mvp! mvp! mvp!"

"mvp! mvp! mvp!"

Amid the cheers of the MVP, Lin Sen easily threw the ball.

"Easily hit the extra free throw. Wood completed 2+1. After coming on the field, in addition to choosing to pass the ball against Rajon's defense for the first time, Wood scored a three-pointer and a 2+1, scoring six consecutive points to help Orlando take the lead.

The advantage expanded to 7 points, and I already felt that Doug couldn't sit still."

"Yes, maybe Doug has remembered that night at the beginning of this season that he and the whole of Boston will never forget." Bill Walton said with a smile.

Doc Rivers on the sidelines frowned. Being 7 points behind forced him to make some changes in advance: "KG, Tony is ready to play!"

"Oh, Doug called up KG and Tony. Apparently he was going to make substitutions." Bill Walton said while looking at the sidelines.

The Boston Celtics Pierce, who returned to the offensive end, directly asked for the ball. Rondo passed the ball directly without any objection.

Sean Battier, who was responsible for guarding Pierce, immediately moved forward. Facing Battier's defense, Pierce did not directly hit Lin Sen with his back like he had just done.

Instead, he made a three-threat action, changing direction, feinting with his upper body, and then directly stepped back and shot a fadeaway jumper.

Battier's defense was very good, but in the face of the signature moves of a superstar like Pierce, Battier could only do his best.

But this time Battier's attempt to cover his eyes failed, and Pierce's ball went smoothly into the basket.

Seeing Pierce score, Rivers breathed a sigh of relief.

Pierce shook his fist, glanced at Lin Sen and ran towards the backcourt.

"This is pp, the truth on the court, although Sean's defense is very good, it is still a little bit behind." Hoffman sighed.

Seeing Lin Sen dribbling the ball past half-court, Rondo pressed forward again, but this time Lin Sen still did not pass the ball. Instead, he directly faced Rondo's defense.

"Is Wood still prepared to come by himself? He seemed to have made a gesture, but I don't know what the gesture means." Bill Walton said, looking at Lin Sen on the court.

Rondo was very unwilling, and his defense was even harder than at the beginning, but Lin Sen kept pushing Rondo to the three-point line.

Taking a step back, Lin Sen showed everyone his skillful dribbling.

The ball seemed to be integrated with Lin Sen, shuttling back and forth under his control.

Eddie Griffin on the inside moved to the mid-range position, and the others also moved away. It gave the impression that Lin Sen was preparing to play singles on this ball, which put a lot of pressure on Rondo.

His whole body was tense and his eyes were fixed on Lin Sen's waist and abdomen.

Snapped!

Lin Sen swatted the ball hard, and Rondo felt that Lin Sen was making a move.

"Wood rushes!" Bill Walton shouted loudly, and Rondo was also preparing to retreat, but this time he kept his defensive focus at all times to prevent Lin Sen from making a fake move.

At this moment, Lin Sen actually retracted his momentum and jumped up in front of him again.

"Wood, Wood once again chose to take off and shoot, didn't he?" Hoffman shouted loudly, but Linsen did not shoot, but swung the ball directly to the inside with both hands.

The ball went straight to the inside like a cannonball, and Eddie Griffin, who was standing in the middle distance, just dodged and got out of the way of Leon Bowen.

"Oh, Wood actually passed the ball, and Eddie cut in to get the ball."

As Bill Walton spoke, Eddie Griffin received Lin Sen's pass. With no one guarding him, he slammed the ball into the basket with both hands.

"We were all fooled," Hoffman said with a smile as he looked at Lin Sen and Eddie Griffin who were banging their chests and celebrating on the field.

"Obviously, this is Wood. Many of his passes come from this." Bill Walton responded.

Doc Rivers signaled a timeout at the referee, and Crawford immediately blew his whistle to signal the Celtics to request a 20-second timeout.

"Doug finally requested a timeout. Orlando is leading by 7 points and there are still six minutes left before the end of the first half. After the timeout, Doug will probably switch to the strongest defensive lineup."

Just like what Hoffman said, after a 20-second pause, Doc Rivers made a substitution.

The inside line has become the strongest defensive lineup of Kendrick Perkins and Kevin Garnett. The forward line is still Paul Pierce. The back line has been replaced by Tony Allen.

Coupled with the defensive capabilities of Rajon Rondo, the Celtics' lineup is particularly terrifying, and look at the two forward defensive warriors sitting on the bench, James Posey and Matt Barnes, who are lacking in the league.

Team coaches who have excellent defensive players at the forward and back positions are particularly envious.

The Magic also made substitutions. Battier and Hill were replaced by Artest and Billups respectively, and Chris Webber in the post was replaced by Milicic.

After the timeout, the Celtics' defense against Lin Sen became even stricter. Tony Allen wanted to stick to Lin Sen's body at all times. Once the ball left Lin Sen, he would block Lin Sen's receiving line.

Others blocked Lin Sen's movement at any time. This kind of defense prevented Lin Sen from finding a good offensive opportunity in the next two minutes. The only time he took a shot, he hit the basket.

The Magic only scored a high jumper from Billups in two minutes, while Boston was just the opposite. They took advantage of the opportunity when the Magic's offense was contained to counterattack.

Pierce and Garnett scored three goals in two minutes. The Celtics, who were 7 points behind before the timeout, suddenly closed the gap to only 3 points.

Stan Van Gundy played the role of Doc Rivers just now. He did not wait too much and directly requested a long timeout.

"The two minutes just told everyone that strong defense is the most important weapon to win the game. Boston stopped Orlando based on their defensive defense. I don't know how Stan will adjust. I guess Dwight will play.

The disadvantage of the kg limit in these two minutes is also the reason why Orlando is at a disadvantage." Bill Walton said.

"I need cover!" Lin Sen gasped and took a sip of Gatorade.

Stan Van Gundy nodded: "Give me Wood to cover, Dwight is going to replace Eddie. Ron, your defense needs to be more proactive, and the offense also needs to put pressure on them. Chauncey, you and Wood exchange the ball...

…”

The long timeout ended quickly, and both players returned to the court. Doc Rivers did not replace Ray Allen, who had a better offense, but retained Tony, who had done a good job guarding Lin Sen for just two minutes.

Allen.

"I don't know what changes Orlando has made." Hoffman said while looking at the court.

"Chauncy has the ball, Wood doesn't have the ball, and Wood without the ball has just been severely restricted by Boston." Bill Walton looked at the court and said.

Milicic on the inside quickly pulled out, and Lin Sen also ran towards Milicic.

Bang!

With a screen, Lin Sen temporarily got rid of Tony Allen.

Without any pause, Lin Sen headed towards the top of the arc again as quickly as possible.

Billups, who was holding the ball, passed the ball over immediately, and Rajon Rondo on the other side immediately stepped up to defend.

While catching the ball, Lin Sen suddenly stopped and shook his hands to lift the ball. Rajon Rondo jumped up subconsciously.

Seeing Rondo jump up, Lin Sen quickly took the ball and cut it in with a bow.

The Celtics' defensive switch was really good. After Rondo lost the ability to defend Linsen for the first time, Tony Allen on the other side bypassed Milicic's screen and pounced on Linsen again.

Facing Tony Allen, who was charging forward again, Lin Sen suddenly stopped and changed direction.

Tony Allen's center of gravity followed Lin Sen's change of direction and made a defensive change. With another acceleration, Lin Sen shook off Tony Allen's defense and entered the inside.

At this time, the Celtics only had Lin Sen's big brother KG under the basket. Garnett's iconic cold expression put a lot of pressure on the offensive players. However, Lin Sen was already familiar with Garnett and he was not added.

Nate's expression was frightened, but he quickly made a choice in his mind.

Garnett looked at Lin Sen rushing toward him at high speed, let out a low roar, and stood on top of Lin Sen's offensive line with his arms raised.

He will not show any mercy to Lin Sen on the court. He still remembers the last time he was defeated by Lin Sen in Boston by himself. For him, that time was a complete failure.

The two of them were getting closer and closer. Lin Sen suddenly changed direction and then stopped suddenly. With his upper body shaking, he lifted the ball with both hands.

Garnett jumped up. Although he was very experienced, Lin Sen was not as immature as his age. Facing Garnett's jump, Lin Sen jumped up and raised the ball high with both hands.

Garnett's right arm was blocked, but Lin Sen was not afraid. This was the moment he was waiting for.

The ball that reached out was taken back by Lin Sen. However, this time Lin Sen did not choose to change hands but chose a low hand and raised his arm.

As soon as the ball left his hand, Garnett's right hand stretched out to block the shot hit Lin Sen's arm.

"Damn it!" Doc Rivers stomped his foot fiercely off the court. Garnett committed two fouls in the first quarter, and this time it was three fouls. At this moment, he was only half-way through the first half.

There are nearly four minutes until the end of the game.

If there is another foul in the next half, it will be difficult to play in the second half, and if Garnett doesn't play, it will be a huge blow to Boston.

The basketball flew toward the backboard, and Lin Sen lost his center of gravity and fell to the floor.

Bang!

Under self-protection, Lin Sen's butt touched the ground first.

Lin Sen's ball hit the backboard and fell into the basket. The audience cheered crazily again.

"yes!"

Lin Sen clenched his fists in celebration and slid more than a meter away while sitting on the floor.

Garnett glared at Lin Sen on the floor. He was obviously annoyed with Lin Sen for lying to him about the foul, but he could no longer change the fact.

"Wood caused a foul on kg and also hit the ball. Wood made the second two-plus-one in this quarter. The key is that kg got the third foul. This is fatal for Boston." Hoffman looked at the crowd.
