legendary point guard

Chapter 430 Four

"Wood doesn't look like an offense at all. In fact, as long as the point difference is not too large and there is still room to play in the fourth quarter, Bryant can't be so accurate all the time, let alone Orlando's Sean and Ron. Two guys double-teamed him," Hoffman said, looking at the field.

In the third quarter, Lin Sen didn't attack much, but Pietrus still didn't dare to be careless.

Lin Sen dribbled the ball calmly under the cover of Pietrus, looked at Pietrus' defense and observed the running of his teammates at the same time.

Without any hint, Lin Sen's body suddenly bowed, and at the same time, his eyes suddenly turned to the left side of Pietrus' body. At the same time, his left shoulder was raised sharply, and his left foot was lifted up to the left side of Pietrus.

Milicic on the inside ran from the left side of the basket to the right, and Battier, who was one step inside the left three-point line, ran to Milicic's original position while Milicic was running.

Pietrus immediately took a small step laterally to his left as the ball came to Linsen's right hand.

Under such circumstances, Pietrus subconsciously believed that Lin Sen wanted to break through from his left side.

At the same time, Eddie Griffin, who was originally on the right side of the basket, directly circled from the baseline to the left side of the basket with the help of Battier's screen.

Snapped!

He slapped the ball hard with his right hand and changed direction, Pietrus moved quickly.

Pietrus moved very quickly, basically without any loss of position, but he was still powerless.

When he moved into position, the ball was picked directly by Lin Sen's left hand.

"Wood sent the ball with his left hand!" Bill Wharton shouted.

No one thought that Lin Sen would pass the ball like this, not only without warning but also with his left hand.

The Lakers defense reacted when the ball flew into the air, but it was too late.

Eddie Griffin, who was in the main position of the card, jumped high without any hesitation when he saw the flying ball.

Griffin's hands firmly grasped the ball from Lin Sen, his body paused in the air, and he slammed the ball heavily towards the basket.

Bang!

The basket shook violently under Eddie Griffin's pull.He yanked Eddie Griffin hard and fell to the floor.

"Wood, your pass is really great!"

Eddie Griffin ran towards Lin Sen, and the two directly bumped their chests to celebrate.

"Wood still didn't attack by himself, even though he was responsible for more than half of the ball, Orlando was still 5 points behind Los Angeles."

"Bryant's firepower continues. All Orlando can do is pray that Bryant's touch will drop, but now his touch is hot and Sean is under a lot of pressure." Hoffman said looking at Kobe on the court .

There are still more than three minutes before the end of the third quarter. Kobe has scored 17 points in a single quarter, and it is very possible to score 20 points in a single quarter before the next break.

Offensive and defensive conversion, the old fish Fisher came to the frontcourt with the ball.The five members of the Lakers started to run, and the speed was not fast, and they seemed a little careless.

Sean Battier, who is in charge of defending Kobe, clings to Kobe, trying to prevent Kobe from receiving the ball directly.

"Sean is trying very hard to defend Bryant, and it seems to be preventing him from receiving the ball, but his footsteps are not comparable to Bryant's. It is not easy to stop. If it is Wood, it may be possible to successfully cut off the ball." Bryant's route," Hoffman said, watching the field.

Lamar Odom on the other side suddenly bumped Eddie Griffin and tried to run high.

Lin Sen, who was staring at Fisher, immediately turned to Battier and Kobe's side. Just as Odom pulled out, Kobe, who was under Battier's marking, turned and ran to the left.

Battier immediately moved to his right, but Kobe's running to the left was just a fake move and his real intention was to run to the top of the arc.

"Switch defenses!"

Lin Sen yelled, Eddie Griffin stepped towards Fisher, and Lin Sen cut directly towards Kobe.

As Linsen guessed, Fisher passed the ball to Kobe, who was running to the top of the arc, and Battier, who was defending Kobe, made up defense to Odom.The quick defense avoids the possibility of being penetrated by the Lakers in an instant.

"Orlando switched defenses in a timely manner, and Wood appeared in front of Bryant. Isn't this the first time Wood has had a conversation with Bryant on the defensive end?" Hoffman said looking at the field.

"If I remember correctly, it should be the first time." With Bill Walton's voice receiving the ball, Kobe rushed directly to the inside.

Lin Sen turned one and a half and leaned directly against Kobe to defend, feeling Kobe's strength. Lin Sen followed Kobe as much as possible while exerting some pressure on Kobe, preventing Kobe from getting an easy shot.

"This is a one-on-one attack and defense between Wood and Bryant. Bryant stopped suddenly, Wood!" Hoffman shouted loudly. Lin Sen, who was close to Kobe, was caught off guard by Kobe's sudden stop and jumped subconsciously. stand up.

"F...uck!" Lin Sen couldn't help cursing in a low voice.

Kobe was waiting for this moment, but what made him a little depressed was that Lin Sen didn't give him room to foul.This made him have to give up the idea of ​​playing two plus one.

But it was this hesitation that gave Lin Sen a chance.

When he threw the ball, Lin Sen, who had just landed, took off again, showing his terrifying instant jumping ability at this moment.

Kobe was also startled, and Lin Sen was almost able to block his shot.

"Rebound!" Lin Sen shouted.Although he couldn't block it, he could feel that his second block of Bryant's shot was affected.

Bang!

The ball hit the inner edge of the basket and bounced out. Milicic, who stuck Pau Gasol tightly behind him, did not give Gasol a chance, and took down the defensive rebound steadily.

"Wood's second take-off was so fast, I thought the ball would be scored 100%." ​​Hoffman said.

"Me too, but Wood's physical fitness has changed everything. Of course, this is also related to Bryant's hesitation. Logically, he shouldn't make the mistake of hesitating to shoot.

No one is more decisive than him on the court. Even if he misses 39 out of [-] shots in a game, he will not hesitate to make the next shot. "

"Bill, are you satirizing Bryant's hard work?"

Bill Wharton shrugged: "I didn't say that."

Lin Sen dribbled the ball past halftime, and Michael Pietrus was directly on Lin Sen's offensive line.

"Do you still want to pass the ball?" Pietrus stared at Lin Sen and said.

"Isn't it possible?" Lin Sen responded with a smile.

Petrus said nothing more.Instead, he kept a reasonable distance from Lin Sen.

"Michael, how is my singles?" Lin Sen said with a smile as he looked at Pietrus who was waiting in full force.

But Pietrus still didn't answer, Lin Sen shrugged boringly, and then raised his left hand.

"Wood made a gesture, if I'm not mistaken. This is his gesture for singles." Bill Walton said, looking at Lin Sen on the court.

"Bill, you are too careful to observe, but I saw that other people in the Magic moved after seeing Wood's gesture and knew that this time Wood was going to come by himself." Hoffman said.

Snapped!

Snapped!

Snapped!

The ball bounced and fell between the floor and the palm, and the rhythm frequency was fast and slow, making Pietrus completely elusive.

Pietrus could only stare at Lin Sen, and at the same time stretched out his right hand to Lin Sen's eyes. He didn't want to be killed by Lin Sen's sudden jump shot.Countless people have been terminated by his sudden shot when they were waiting for defense in the game.

Lin Sen seemed calm and not in a hurry.

However, the center of gravity of the body began to lower slowly, and the ball began to pass through the crotch from a single dribble with the left hand, and shuttled back and forth between the left and right hands.

Seeing Lin Sen whose center of gravity is getting lower and lower, Pietrus is even more afraid to be careless. A breakthrough under such a low center of gravity will make his defense a bit difficult.

The ball came to the right hand again from a hit in front of him.However, this time Lin Sen's right hand did not send the ball back to his crotch but directly launched an offensive.

As soon as the body rushed, he accelerated the sprint directly, and rushed to the left side of Pietrus' body without a trace of feint.

"Wood is going to tear through the defense with speed!" Hoffman looked at Lin Sen on the field and shouted.

As Hoffman thought, so did Pietrus.

In just over a year and a half, Lin Sen's speed has become known to everyone in the league, and countless top defensive champions have fallen to Lin Sen's speed.

So Pietrus was extra careful, even though he was not fast.But the reaction was quick and he slid to the left to block Lin Sen's progress.

Seeing that Lin Sen and Pietrus were about to collide, Lin Sen hit the ball again with his right hand.

With the movement of the body, the ball hits the floor between him and Pietrus to the left hand side.

At the same time, Lin Sen took a step back, and with his left foot retreated, his right foot rushed to the right side of Pietrus' body.

Pietrus hurriedly changed his defense and immediately moved to the left side of his body.

However, just after he changed his defense, Lin Sen changed direction again and got a better space.

Immediately accelerating, Pietrus was completely powerless to defend, and could only watch Lin Sen pass through the left side of his body.

"Wood. A successful breakthrough, facing the inside or choosing an emergency stop jumper?" Bill Wharton stared closely at Lin Sen and shouted.

Lin Sen glanced at Pau Gasol who was standing inside, and rushed in without the slightest hesitation.

Pau Gasol on the inside moved quickly. He was tall and long and raised his arms high, erecting a thick shield wall under the basket.

Looking at Paul Gasol who is actively defending himself.Lin Sen didn't dodge anything but went straight to meet him.

"Dako!"

When the difference between the two was less than one meter, Lin Sen grabbed the ball with both hands, put his right foot in front of Pau Gasol, and at the same time pushed the ball to Milicic on the other side. .

Pau Gasol stretched out his arm subconsciously, and Lin Sen was waiting for this opportunity.

Recovering the ball with both hands, while the left foot landed on the left side of Pau Gasol's body, and jumped up completely close to Gasol.

"Fake fax suddenly, Wood successfully tricked Paul's defense!"

In Bill Walton's voice, Lin Sen easily lifted the ball to the basket with his right hand.

When Pau Gasol wanted to defend again, it was too late. When he completed his turn, the ball just passed through the net.

"The point difference is only three points away, a three-pointer gap, I have no doubt that Bryant's 17 points in a single quarter will not help the Lakers take the lead. But Chauncey has come to the sidelines, it seems that Wood will He was replaced." Bill Wharton said, looking at Billups, who was standing in front of the technical stage on the sidelines.

Just the same as before, Kobe used the screen to get rid of Battier and came to the low post, and the man defending him became Lin Sen again.

"Bryant faced Wood's defense in the low post, and his low-post offensive ability is very strong. And this is also Wood's biggest flaw at present. Wood has no low-post offense at all in the game. Maybe Wood should consider training himself in this aspect." Huo Fuman looked at the field and said.

Bang!

Kobe, who was holding the ball behind his back, slammed into Lin Sen with force from his back, and Lin Sen resisted hard with his chest.

During the offseason, the biggest headache for Lin Sen was Kobe and Tracy McGrady's low-post singles. If it is a high-post Linsen, there are still some ways, but the low-post Linsen is difficult to defend.Especially the two of them are much taller than him.

However, the month-long training time together also allowed Lin Sen to explore something, that is, to make Kobe uncomfortable as much as possible, and how to make Kobe uncomfortable is a skill. . Simmons is labeled as a guy who has been in the league for more than a decade.

The reason for putting this label on was Lin Sen's small movements, which he grasped and used skillfully like an old fritters.

However, after entering the NBA, Lin Sen didn't use much small moves, and gradually made people forget that he is a master of small moves.

"You elbowed me." Lin Sen muttered.But he will not stop and complain to the referee at this time, this is not his style.

"Stay away from my waist."

Lin Sen ignored Kobe's words, and made small moves against Kobe while avoiding the referee's sight.

Kobe seemed a little uncomfortable under Lin Sen's continuous small movements, and Lin Sen took the opportunity to fight against Kobe. Seeing that the five-second attack time was approaching, Kobe turned around and walked towards the three-point line.

"Oh, Wood actually won the defensive victory against Bryant. This seems a bit incredible." Hoffman was surprised.

Although the referee didn't see it, the Lakers fans at the bottom line saw Lin Sen's small movements clearly.

They booed Lin Sen, but Lin Sen didn't care.

Kobe saw Lin Sen chasing him, and quickly pulled the ball to his right.

Lin Sen only took a step forward with his left leg, but he didn't lose his center of gravity.

Kobe then quickly took his left foot as the axis, and quickly crossed half a circle. Although Lin Sen's center of gravity shifted a little under Kobe's movement, he still followed Kobe tightly without losing his position.

Lin Sen's tenacious defense stimulated Kobe's desire to attack. After a change of direction, Kobe directly staged a super fadeaway jumper in front of Lin Sen.

Facing Kobe's super fallback, Lin Sen took off as much as possible.Lin Sen wasn't naive enough to block shots like this.

"Bryant's shot was a bit reluctant, but if he didn't shoot it, he wouldn't be him." Bill Wharton said with a smile.

Bang!

Kobe's shot hit the front of the basket and bounced back directly. After Lin Sen hit the ground, the ball just fell over, and he unceremoniously took the defensive rebound that fell on his head.

"Thank you for giving me the defensive rebound." Lin Sen said provocatively.

Kobe glared at Lin Sen, then ran to the front court with a cold snort.

He has long been used to Kobe's expression.If he guessed correctly, the next attack is 90.00% likely to be singled by Kobe, and he will be singled out.

Just as Linsen guessed, Battier missed a three-pointer and Odom took a defensive rebound. The Lakers immediately turned from defense to offense, and returned to the offensive end. Kobe found Linsen again.

"This is Bryant!" Bill Wharton said with a shrug.

Amid the cheers from the audience, Lin Sen clung to Kobe tightly.

"You can't stop me!"

Kobe's cold voice indicated that he was angry, and Lin Sen didn't dare to be careless at all.

At this moment, Kobe took a sharp step forward. Lin Sen restrained his subconscious retreat and just moved his steps.

Kobe immediately retracted the foot he stepped forward, and at the same time he retracted, the whole person jumped up.

"Bryant went straight to the jumper!" Hoffman yelled.

Lin Sen had already expected Kobe's shot, but this time he felt a completely different Kobe.

Seeing that he was unable to defend, Lin Sen unceremoniously hit Kobe's wrist.

beep!

The referee blew the whistle, and Lin Sen raised his right hand high to signal a foul.

Kobe glared at Lin Sen. He knew that Lin Sen had fouled on purpose just now.If it wasn't for an intentional foul, he would have great confidence in throwing the ball.

Lin Sen ignored Kobe's glare and walked beyond the three-point line. What he wanted was to beat Kobe's rhythm.

"Wood blocked Bryant's direct scoring with a foul, and made two free throws at the free throw line. It is estimated that Wood will be replaced this time."

As Bill Walton said, Lin Sen was replaced by Billups.Battier and Milicic were also replaced by Artest and Dikembe Mutombo, respectively.

Kobe at the free throw line made two free throws to help the Lakers expand the point difference to five points again.

In the last 2 minutes, Kobe did not rest, but his touch also cooled down.

On the Magic side, Billups took over the offensive banner. At the end of the third quarter, the Magic trailed the Lakers at home by 5 points.

"It's only five points away, and we still have to play in the fourth quarter, and since Los Angeles lost Anzu, Lamar has to go up to the starting position. This directly weakens the strength of the Los Angeles Lakers' bench, who performed well last season. After Sasha Vujacic got the contract extension, not only did he not make progress but he regressed significantly.

Mitch must have regretted listening to Bryant and giving him a contract extension. Maybe Maria Sharapova's charm is too great, and that's why he did this. "

"Bill, why don't you talk about Luke." Hoffman smirked.

"Luke... what should I say?"

"Whatever, I haven't heard you talk about him tonight. You're not only a father but a commentator, and that's your job."

"Luke's performance this season has also regressed from last season. Of course, he has suffered from injuries to a certain extent. For example, he only played less than 10 minutes today. It is difficult to have a good performance in such a short playing time. Play, and he is not the kind of microwave player who can't give you what you need quickly. And the arrival of Lamar and Paul has reduced the role he originally played, which is also an important reason for his performance and statistics to decline."

The fourth quarter kicked off quickly. As Bill Walton said, the Lakers' starting lineup was not weaker than the Magic's, but the strength of the bench was incomparable.

The Magic's bench alone can form a good starting lineup. This kind of bench depth is also what Stan Van Gundy relies on most, and it is also what the playoffs need.

Sufficient strength rotation personnel can ensure that the main players can ensure that the team will not be at a disadvantage during the rotation, so that the main players can have more rest opportunities, and the main players can perform better with sufficient rest.

In less than 3 minutes in the fourth quarter, the Lakers' five-point lead was wiped out.

"Chauncey's pass was great. Of course, Orlando's tactics were very successful this time. Chris just helped Sean to block the defender, and then he had an easy layup." Hoffman said.

The five-point advantage was wiped out, which made it impossible for Phil Jackson to hold on to Diaoyutai.

Phil Jackson replaced Lamar Odom in advance to preside over the overall situation, but even so, the Lakers went from the leader at the beginning of the fourth quarter to the laggard after 2 minutes.

"The difference of four points, there are still 8 minutes before the end of the fourth quarter. If Los Angeles does not replace the main force, then it is likely to be opened by the hot Orlando lineup on the field, but replacing the main force in advance will make Their physical fitness is being tested." Bill Walton said looking at the field.

This is exactly where Phil Jackson had a headache, but he finally chose to put Pau Gasol on the field ahead of schedule.

Stan Van Gundy, on the other hand, saw the trick and replaced it with Darko Milicic after Phil Jackson replaced Pau Gasol.

Although there is still a big gap between Milicic and Gasol today, his defense is much more reliable than Howard, and it is hardly an exaggeration to say that he is the most stable defensive insider of the Magic.

Under the entanglement of Milicic, Pau Gasol's personal offense is mainly in support, but the rest of the Lakers don't feel good.

The game continued for 2 minutes, and the Lakers still failed to catch up with the score.

"Bryant finally played. In the third quarter, he felt hot and scored 21 points in a single quarter. However, the feeling declined in the last 2 minutes, and now he has rested for nearly 6 minutes."

"Los Angeles has to rely on Bryant. If his offense plays out, Paul and Lamar's offense can also open up. Fortunately, Los Angeles is not far behind, only five points away." Hoffman said.

Stan Van Gundy also replaced Linsen.More than half of the main lineups of the two sides returned to the field. There are still about 7 minutes before the game, and the decisive moment of the game has arrived.

However, compared with the Magic, the pressure of the Lakers playing at home is undoubtedly greater.

Bryant did not let Fisher catch the ball, but took Paul Gasol's serve directly in the backcourt.Then quickly dribbled the ball across the half.

Artest saw Kobe after halftime and immediately pushed forward. However, Kobe did not directly single out Artest's defense, but used Lamar Odom's cover to get rid of Artest's marking .

By the time Artest moved out of the way of Lamar Odom, Bryant had already sprinted inside.

Facing Darko Milicic who was defending against him, Kobe made a toss shot, and the ball jumped high above Milicic's fingers and got into the basket.

"Shit!" Milicic shook his hand depressed.His defense was in place, but he still couldn't stop Kobe's goal.

"Bryant gave Los Angeles a powerful help just after he came on the court. The point difference was only three points. Bryant made a counterattack. What about Wood?" Bill Walton stared at Lin Sen who was driving the ball forward. .

Standing in front of Lin Sen was still Michael Pietrus, while Kobe was marking Grant Hill not far away.

Lin Sen firmly controlled the ball.After looking at the positions of his teammates, Lin Sen's dribbling rhythm changed.

Although Lin Sen did not take the initiative to attack much in this game, Pietrus mostly played the role of the loser in one-on-one.

The defensive failures of many direct dialogues made Pietrus more cautious on the defensive end, and his main purpose of coming to the Lakers was to strengthen the team's defense and use his own defense to help the Lakers regain the O'Brien Cup. My own opinion.

The Orlando Magic is undoubtedly the biggest obstacle for the Los Angeles Lakers to win the championship. They have already lost to the Magic once at the beginning of the season. If they lose again this time, they will be swept away by the Magic in the regular season.

Entering the finals with being swept will have some impact on the players' hearts.

Adjusting his mentality, Pietrus opened his arms.But this time he chose to post the whole person.

Lin Sen half-turned against Pietrus and dribbled the ball with his right hand.

Pietrus' long arm kept interfering with Linsen's dribbling. Pietrus didn't expect to stop the ball from Linsen's hand. What he wanted was to prevent Linsen from being comfortable for a second.

Lin Sen suddenly accelerated horizontally, and Pietrus, who was close to him, also started.

呲!

The sudden sudden stop caused the Legend II and the floor to make a harsh friction sound.

I saw Lin Sen hit the ball hard with his right hand, and the ball bounced off Lin Sen's back and bounced to his left hand. At the same time, Lin Sen turned around halfway.

The sudden stop and turn around made Pietrus slightly unable to react in time, and there was a slight stagger between him and Lin Sen.

However, at this point, Lin Sen put his right foot on the left side of Pietrus' body, slapped the ball with his left hand, and kicked hard with his left foot.

Lin Sen hit Pietrus on the right side of his body.Lin Sen staggered slightly and threw Pietrus behind him.

When Pietrus came to his senses, Lin Sen had already thrown him away completely.

Kobe Bryant, who had been watching Linsen, immediately dropped Billups, who was defending him.

The Lakers also made quick defensive rotations, but there was still a problem with their rotation. Lin Sen jumped high from the three-point line, and Kobe also jumped up.

"Wood took a jump shot. Oh no, this is a pass, thrown directly to the inside, and Ron cut in!" Bill Wharton did not expect that Lin Sen would choose to pass the ball instead of shooting himself this time.

Artest, who cut in easily, received Lin Sen's pass, and he made a one-handed dunk without defense.

"Wood actually passed the ball, which is really unexpected, even though Ron's chance is really good." Hoffman said with some surprise, according to his thinking, Lin Sen had an absolute chance to make a shot just now.

With Lin Sen assisting Artest's dunk, the two points that Kobe had just caught up with were wiped out again, and the Lakers were still five points behind the Magic.

Back on the defensive end, the Lakers once again played the idea of ​​covering.

"Los Angeles obviously wants to reduce Bryant's direct singles by means of screens, which is a kind of protection for his physical fitness, but Wood obviously does not want to see such a picture, timely supplement defense!" Bill Wharton praised .

Lin Sen looked at Kobe in front of him, but he didn't fully push forward.

But Lin Sen didn't do well in defense this time.Facing Kobe's feint, Lin Sen was taken aback.

Seeing Lin Sen's defensive action, Kobe accelerated and cut past Lin Sen.

"Bryant made a successful breakthrough, and Wood's defense failed!" Hoffman looked at Kobe and shouted.

Lin Sen didn't stay in the spot to be depressed, but quickly turned around to chase, but Kobe didn't give Lin Sen a chance to chase the defense. With a flick of his arm, the ball went directly past Milicic and into the hands of Pau Gasol.

Pau Gasol, who received the ball, easily sent the ball into the basket under the basket, and the point difference became a three-pointer again.

Pietrus looked at Lin Sen in front of him with a serious expression.Up to now, he already knows that it is difficult for him to defend alone, and Kobe can form a two-person double-team defense not far away at any time.

But what surprised Pietrus was that Lin Sen passed the ball directly instead of directly organizing the attack.

However, less than two seconds after the ball left Lin Sen's finger, Hill, who received the ball, passed the ball back directly.

Pietrus, who had just relaxed a little, immediately raised his attention, and Lin Sen, who caught the ball, swung the ball with both hands.

Lin Sen's precise shooting left a deep impression on Pietrus, and Pietrus immediately jumped up subconsciously.

"Damn it!" Kobe complained and rushed towards Lin Sen.

As Kobe thought.Lin Sen's ball was a fake move to trick Pietrus.

Jumping Pietrus also regretted it, but he could only rely on Kobe's supplementary defense.

Lin Sen quickly received the ball and cut directly from Pietrus' side to the inside. Kobe's defense was timely.

Appearing in Lin Sen's peripheral vision at the first time, Lin Sen quickly pulled the ball horizontally and opened some distance from Kobe who was rushing forward.

On the other side, Fisher also came up to defend. The defense of Kobe and Fisher gave Linsen too much room to pass the ball.

Lin Sen slapped the ball directly with his right hand, and the ball bounced directly into Hill's hands beyond the three-point line.

Fisher, who just came up to defend, immediately turned around and rushed towards Hill.However, Grant Hill did not keep the ball in his hands but sent the ball again to Lin Sen who continued to rush inside.

Kobe was less than one body away from Linsen at this time, and he believed that as long as Linsen received the ball, he could completely control the defense.

Seeing the ball from Hill, Lin Sen's mind flashed, and he stretched out his left hand to meet the ball.

"Consecutive passes and cuts!" Hoffman shouted.

At this moment, Lin Sen, who had just received Hill's return pass with his left hand, did not receive the ball, but took advantage of the situation to pull the ball around.

Snapped!

The moment Kobe's body was close to Lin Sen's back, the ball bounced directly behind Kobe to the middle.

"Oh, imaginative pass! Ron cut!" Bill Wharton looked at the cut Artest shouted.

Artest also didn't expect Linsen to pass the ball.Seeing the ball bouncing towards him, he caught the ball steadily with both hands and took off.

Pau Gasol was already slow when he wanted to defend, and he could only watch helplessly as the strong Artest dunked the ball into the basket.

Phil Jackson was very depressed. The failure of defense this time was entirely due to Pietrus' hasty take-off. Without Pietrus' hasty take-off, there would be no defensive failure.

The Los Angeles fans at the scene also had to sigh that the Magic's cooperation this time was very smooth and beautiful.

"Orlando's cooperation just now was so smooth, it was like making a work of art. I still want to see this kind of cooperation." Hoffman couldn't help but said while watching the replay.

"It's true. Orlando's cooperation this time can definitely become the top five goals today. It is an impeccable and wonderful cooperation." Bill Wharton said.

The Lakers managed to catch up with the three-point difference, which became five points again.

The Los Angeles Lakers' offense failed to continue hitting.Kobe's shot went out of the basket under the defense of Artest. Lin Sen at the top of the arc did not rush to the basket to grab the rebound but turned and ran to the frontcourt.

"Give me the ball!"

Lin Sen raised his arm and shouted, and Milicic, who grabbed the rebound, immediately understood.

Kobe and Pietrus immediately reacted, and Milicic had thrown the ball directly to Lin Sen who was running forward with one hand, and the ball went straight to the front court like a shell that had just been fired.

"Oh. Orlando's quick counterattack. Darko passed the ball like a cannonball. This is an excellent opportunity!" Bill Wharton shouted.

Kobe and Pietrus tried their best to catch up with Linsen behind Linsen.The ball thrown by Milicic flew over the heads of the two and flew to the frontcourt under the watchful eyes of the two.

"So fast!"

Everyone in the audience expressed such emotions. At this moment, those celebrities who are not very familiar with Lin Sen in the Staples Center also lamented Lin Sen's speed, and lamented that Lin Sen's popularity is indeed based on his strength. .

The ball thrown by Milicic landed in the middle circle of the frontcourt, and Lin Sen held the ball firmly and rushed directly to the three-point line.

Kobe and Pietrus behind him knew that it was basically impossible to catch up with the ball.The speed also slowed down.

Amid the boos of the audience, Lin Sen quickly came to the three-point line.

Just when many fans were expecting Lin Sen to stage a dunk that shocked the audience, Lin Sen made an emergency stop and stopped outside the three-point line.

"Following three-pointers? Bryant and Michael may regret stopping." Hoffman shouted.

In Hoffman's voice, Lin Sen jumped up from outside the three-point line.

Kobe and Pietrus, who had stopped, started immediately. They hoped that Linsen would miss a three-pointer this time, so that they could fight for a rebound.

Looking at the basket in the distance.A confident smile appeared on the corner of Lin Sen's mouth, and he flicked the ball with his right hand.

Lin Sen let Kobe and Pietrus' ideas come to naught, and Lin Sen's shot went steadily into the basket.

"A chasing three-pointer, with an eight-point difference, Los Angeles has entered a passive situation. They must find a good way. Otherwise, they will be passive in this game." Bill Walton said looking at the field.

Fisher dribbled the ball past half court, and Kobe reached out for the ball directly.

After a cover, Lin Sen became Kobe's man again.

Kobe dribbled the ball in an orderly manner without any haste, but the faint aura emanating from his body made Lin Sen dare not be careless at all.

Lin Sen decided to take the lead in the attack, and he pushed forward with his whole body.

Kobe was still unhurried, and with a slight impact from the side, the distance between the two people was opened.

The basketball shuttled back and forth under his crotch, and the shaking shoulders provoked Lin Sen's defensive nerves all the time.Lin Sen has long been familiar with Kobe's offensive moves, but he still dare not be careless.

Lin Sen's unmoved didn't surprise Kobe any more, after all, he and Lin Sen were too familiar.

A sudden change of direction tested Lin Sen's reflexes. When Lin Sen was leaning against Kobe to defend, Kobe turned around sharply, and the instant explosive force temporarily left Lin Sen behind.

Lin Sen didn't get annoyed, but quickly turned around and chased after him. Being passed doesn't mean the defense failed completely.

As long as there is a slight possibility, Lin Sen is unwilling to give up, Kobe dribbles and sprints directly to the inside.

Gasol and Odom draw Darko Milicic and Dwight Howard out of the paint, leaving the Magic open for a brief moment.

Such a gap is an excellent scoring opportunity for Kobe, kicking off the ground.Kobe flew to the basket without a trace of hesitation, holding the ball high with both hands and the basket was right in front of his eyes.

The Lakers fans at the scene cheered loudly, they were about to see a wonderful dunk.

However, Lin Sen, who was passed by, did not give up, but jumped up immediately after Kobe took off.

"Wood didn't give up! He defended hard!" Bill Walton shouted as he watched Lin Sen, who was chasing and blocking Kobe in the air.

Lin Sen completely threw himself into the air, and stretched out his arms to press the basketball in Kobe's hands.

"It's covered!"

Lin Sen couldn't help being overjoyed.His hand touched the basketball in Kobe's hand, and the strength of his whole body gathered towards Lin Sen's right hand in an instant.

Lin Sen's block surprised Kobe, but because Lin Sen was too far away from him to block the block, the whole person lost his center of gravity in the air, which directly caused Lin Sen's blocking power to be weak.

Kobe suddenly received the ball and twisted his body in the air.

The amazing ability to stay in the air was fully displayed, and Lin Sen happened to avoid Lin Sen's block with a gliding.

With the fall of the body, Kobe loosened the ball with his right hand from bottom to top.

Looking at the ball flying towards the backboard, Lin Sen wished his arm would grow another ten centimeters, but all this was impossible. He could only watch helplessly as the ball picked out by Kobe hit the backboard and got into the frame.

This attack gave Lakers fans hope again, and Phil Jackson made a gesture from the sidelines.

"Phil seems to have made the latest arrangement. How will Los Angeles chase points?" Hoffman looked at the sidelines and said.
