legendary point guard

"Coach..." Artest looked at Musselman, but was interrupted by Musselman before he could speak.

"Ron, can't you see that the rookie is deliberately provoking you? Are you sure that you can maintain a normal mind when you play in such a situation, instead of getting a technical foul and leaving the field immediately?"

Musselman's words calmed Artest a little, or at least seemed to calm down a lot.

Lin Sen's maturity made Musselman feel scared. Such a young player is not immature but plays with his head on the court. Obviously, this is not something that the head coach can guide but is born.

Thinking of this, Musselman looked enviously at Devin Casey who was standing on the sidelines.

Lin Sen didn't expect such a stimulus to make Artest play, but Lin Sen believed that such a provocation would undoubtedly leave a different feeling in Artest's heart.

Even though Artest has no reaction now, he believes that Artest's character determines that he will not remain indifferent.

After 1 minute, Lin Sen was replaced by Devon Casey with Mike James.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Lin Sen sat off the court, but Musselman put Artest on the court ahead of time.

Returning to the court, Artest bulldozed Rashad McCants, who was defending him, and dunked the ball into the Timberwolves' basket hard under the defense of Greg Smith.

"Rashad's defense is still not working hard enough. He has the potential to guard anyone, but he doesn't work hard enough. It's getting farther and farther away from our expectations. If he continues like this, he will slowly fall out of the rotation. "The live commentator of Minnesota Radio looked at Rashad McCants and said with a bit of hatred.

After completing the one-handed heavy dunk, Artest turned to face the Knicks' bench, stood under the basket with his head held high, and raised the jersey on his right shoulder with his left hand.

Despite the constant boos from the audience, Artest didn't care, and made a signature muscle show at the Knicks bench.

Devin Casey's facial muscles twitched, and the defense was so rotten that every position was that bad except Eddie Griffin, who still pleased him somewhat.

Next, Artest completely evolved into a beast, directly destroying the Timberwolves' already weak defense line to pieces.

Artest staged a celebratory show at the Target Center three times. In just 2 minutes, less than one person swept the Kings with 7 points.

The five-point advantage that the Timberwolves had managed to save in the first quarter disappeared in less than 2 minutes.

Devin Casey's face was extremely stiff, and he asked the referee for a timeout with a cold face.

"Has our home court become Ron Artest's personal performance show? Where is the defense? Even if we are forced-annihilated, we have to resist, but now we don't even have resistance." The live commentator of Minnesota Radio said angrily .

The mental outlook shown by the Timberwolves in the second quarter was really bad.

Devin Casey saliva sprayed on the faces of the five players on the field just now: "If you want to defend but not defend Yao and attack or attack, a group of elementary school students can play better than you."

Angrily, Devon Casey turned and looked at Lin Sen: "Wood, Eddie, Mike, Mark, Trenton, you five play, since they don't want to play well."

The five people on the field just now had no idea that Devin Casey would go up and down, but now it was too late for them to say anything.

"Ron, you did a great job, keep going!" Musselman was very satisfied with Artest's performance.

"I don't know if our performance will be better after the timeout. After a good timeout..." the on-site commentator looked at the players who came on the field and was stunned. I don’t know how to say it, although it would definitely be much better to put the main lineup on the field, but it will also test the physical strength of the main lineup.”

Musselman did not expect that Devin Casey would go up and down directly, and at this time the king was Artest and Kevin Martin with three substitutes, but what worried Musselman the most was It was Artest who couldn't control his temper.

Lin Sen dribbled the ball across the half. The Timberwolves' morale was too low in these 2 minutes. The team had to use a goal to relieve the team's low morale.

After crossing the center line, Artest immediately forced up.

Artest didn't say any trash talk but stared at Lin Sen, which was completely different from the first quarter.

Eddie Griffin on the inside line pulled out from the inside line. With the help of Eddie Griffin's cover, Lin Sen temporarily got rid of Artest, and faced Kevin Martin, who came up from the supplementary defense, with a horizontal pull.

Kevin Martin's supplementary defense bought time for Artest's pursuit, but Lin Sen jumped up outside the three-point line without any fear.

The basketball quickly flew high over Artest's finger and flew to the basket. Lin Sen was very confident about the ball.

However, to Lin Sen's surprise, God made a little joke with him, and the ball slipped out of the basket.

Oh!

There was a sound of regret in the target center.

"What a pity, I thought the goal would be scored, but God made a joke with us, damn it." The on-site commentator couldn't help but cursed.

The Kings' counterattack quickly started, and Kevin Martin dribbled the ball over half court and handed the ball directly to Artest, who was in a state of fiery state.

Artest put his back against Lin Sen, holding the ball on his chest with both hands.

Bang!

Artest's back hit Lin Sen's chest, but with the experience of the first quarter, Artest paid special attention to his own strength, and he didn't want the rookie behind him to seize the opportunity to make him a third offensive foul.

Under Artest's impact, Lin Sen retreated a little, but at this time Artest immediately turned around, with his left arm directly against Lin Sen, and he dribbled the ball with his right hand and squeezed into the three-point line.

Strong arms, this is Lin Sen's most direct feeling. Although Lin Sen moves quickly, he is still slowly losing the wind under Artest's strength.

It was completely pushing Lin Sen's body to hit the inside line. Lin Sen gritted his teeth and defended, but he still couldn't stop Artest from making a layup.

Roar!

"Rookie, this is my strength, your defense is scum in my eyes."

Artest stood in front of Lin Sen, pounding his chest heavily and roaring.

The Timberwolves, who were still leading, became two points behind with Artest's bulldozer layup.

The boos of the entire target center were suppressed by Artest's roar.

This attack and one defense caused the morale of the five up and downs to drop again. Lin Sen knew that the next attack must be scored no matter what.

"Wait, you pull away!"

Lin Sen threw the ball to Eddie Griffin and said loudly without any hesitation.

"Pull the singles? Do you think you have anything but a pair of legs?"

Artest, who was running out of the three-point line, heard Lin Sen's words, turned around and shouted at Lin Sen.

"Can Wood stand up?"

"Wood sure can."

"But Wood didn't make the shot just now? Is it okay now?"

……

There was a lot of discussion in the auditorium, and everyone focused on Lin Sen.

Carrying the hope of the Timberwolves, Lin Sen dribbled the ball across half court, and Artest, who was guarding beyond the three-point line, immediately moved up a step and waited for Lin Sen's arrival.
