legendary point guard

"You guys have to fly away overnight, I won't kill you today, let you go." Yao Ming walked up and said with a smile. He played this game very uncomfortable, and finally scored only 16 points in the game. The main thing is the points scored in the third quarter.

Officially because Yao Ming was restricted, the Magic won.

Lin Sen shook hands with Yao Ming: "Next time I go to your place, you must not let me kill you."

McGrady, who also performed well in this game, also came up, had a brief chat with McGrady and Lin Sen walked to the sidelines.

"Wood's performance in this game can only be described as perfect. This is not only reflected in the statistics. He uses his own state and performance to tell all the magicians that with him, Orlando cannot be underestimated." Ken Ni Smith looked at Lin Sen who was walking towards the sidelines and said.

After talking to Carolina and the others, Lin Sen turned and walked towards the players' tunnel. The reporters in the media area were very excited.

"Wood, can you tell me where Dwight will be traded?"

"Wood, will Dwight be frozen for the rest of the season?"

"Some people say that Dwight left because of you, how about you?"

"Is it because of your discord with Dwight that led to Orlando's predicament some time ago? What caused it, can you tell me?"

"Wood, Dwight fired David Falk, does that represent a complete break with you? How far do you think Orlando will go without Dwight?"

……

Lin Sen stopped and frowned, why didn't he know that Howard was going to be traded away.

Seeing Lin Sen stop, the reporters became even more excited, looking forward to Lin Sen's reply.

"Wood, can you tell me where Dwight will be traded?"

"An insider revealed that he will leave the team in the summer. In addition, he once had a fight with Dennis in the locker room. Is this true?"

Lin Sen looked at the expectant reporters: "Why didn't I know that Dwight was leaving? Dwight would not leave Orlando."

With a simple sentence, after Chen Tian finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the player tunnel.

No matter how the reporters shouted, Lin Sen didn't stop.

"Dwight will definitely be traded away."

"I think so too, why don't we ask other people when we go to the locker room to interview?"

"That is for sure."

The reporters in the media area made up their minds to dig out the truth, while Otis Smith in the office called Howard again.

"Are you going?"

Otis Smith asked straight to the point, and now he thought that everything Howard said just now was a lie to him.

"Dwight, tell me the truth, if you want to leave, I will find a way to send you away, but now is the critical period for the team to prepare for the playoffs.

Even if we have to go, I hope you and your agent pay attention to the impact. You should know our goals for this season. "

Otis Smith's words made Howard a little confused. He had basically reached an agreement with Otis Smith just now.

He will return to the team and play well again.

Still aiming for the team to win the championship, Howard doesn't know if he can adjust his mentality, but he wants to try to adjust.

But now Otis Smith seems to want to send him away: "Otis, I don't understand what you said.

I had this thought, but it was just a thought, and I didn't even say it, including with my agent. "

"Dwight, are you sure you didn't say such a thing?" Otis Smith asked with doubts, he didn't want Howard to say one thing and do another.

If he really said one thing and did another, then he has the same idea as Stan Van Gundy.

That is, I would rather let Howard sit on the bench for the rest of the season with a salary than let him play.

"I'm sure, I didn't say that."

Howard also knew that Otis Smith would not lie to him, so there is only one possibility and that is that Dan Fagan released rumors outside.

Otis Smith also thought of Howard's agent, Dan Fagan, the notorious guy.

"Since you didn't say it, that's good. Are you going to Washington with the team tonight, or stay in Orlando?" Otis Smith asked.

Now that Howard has realized his mistake, he also hopes to show a certain attitude to alleviate it.

Although Howard has many flaws, there is still a big difference between having and not having for the Magic.

"I want to go to Washington with the team." Howard thought for a while and added, "I don't have to play."

Hearing the words added by Howard on the other end of the phone, Otis Smith couldn't bear it: "Did you call Stan yourself or me?"

"I'll do it myself."

Howard hung up the phone and wanted to make a call to Dan Fagan, but when he thought of the team flying to Washington overnight, it would take an hour to go to the airport after the game ended.

Howard immediately changed his clothes and went straight to the center of the water house, and many reporters poured into the Magic locker room.

Without exception, they all want to know where Howard was traded to, but the result is that Howard will not leave the team.

Such a unified caliber of the whole team naturally not only made them unable to believe that Howard would not trade, but also made them more determined that Howard would leave the team.

At the post-match press conference, most of the questions from the reporters in the audience revolved around the recent status of the Magic and Howard's fate.

This directly led to Stan Van Gundy and Lin Sen leaving the press conference in less than 10 minutes, even if they were destined to be fined by the league.

All of this made the reporters firmly believe that Howard will leave the team, and the discussion about Howard's departure on the Internet is even more heated. Anzu Bynum is considered to be the one who may exchange with Howard.

In the locker room, everyone packed their things.

Due to back-to-back games, the team had to fly to Washington overnight, so everyone could not go home but took the bus directly from the arena to the airport, and then flew directly to Washington.

When everyone was packed, Lin Sen led everyone to the parking lot.

A tall figure stood beside the team bus. The lights in the parking lot were not particularly bright, but everyone on Howard's team was familiar with him. Even if the lights were not bright, he could still be seen standing beside the car.

The arrival of Howard made the whole team stunned for a moment, no one thought that he would come here at this time.

Howard, who was standing fat on the bus, also felt the surprise of his teammates, and walked over while feeling sad.

"My injury is fine. I want to go to Washington with everyone and cheer for everyone on the bench."

Howard said with a smile, but the smile looked somewhat bitter.

"Since it's all right, those guys in Washington must be in trouble." Lin Sen patted Howard, "Don't stand here, do you want John to wait for us in the car? He must be anxious."

Although the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Howard still participated in the topic as much as possible, and gradually everyone felt Howard's sincerity.

The short distance to the airport, although not as harmonious as before, is much better than this time.

But everyone knows that it can't be done in a day or two to return to the previous state. When the plane flew into the sky, the magic players who finished a game quickly fell asleep one by one.

Howard, who was just an aisle away from Lin Sen, didn't sleep, thinking about many things in his mind.

It was already one o'clock in the morning when the plane arrived in Washington, and a group of people in a daze got on the bus and headed to the hotel.

Howard came to Washington with the team beyond the imagination of many reporters, and Stan Van Gundy put Howard back on the 15-man roster.

This means that Howard is likely to appear tonight, which makes Wizards coach Eddie Jordan a little nervous.

Even if Howard brought a negative impact to the Magic most of the time during this period of time, Howard has the ability to change the game after all.

Especially the inside of the Wizards is very weak, even if Brandon Haywood played the best season of his career this season, he can contribute 10 points, 7 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game for the Wizards.

The inside substitute Blazy can also contribute nearly 8 points and 5 rebounds per game, but it is undoubtedly much worse than Howard.

Originally, Eddie Jordan was hoping to take advantage of the Magic's physical disadvantage from the four-quarter fierce battle with the Houston Rockets yesterday to try to win the game at home. Now he is a little worried when he hears that Howard has entered the roster.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the game between the Magic and Wizards kicked off.

Eddie Jordan breathed a sigh of relief that Howard didn't appear in the starting lineup but sat on the bench off the field.

What Eddie Jordan wants is to try to entangle with the Magic in the first two or even three quarters, and wait until the fourth quarter to seize the Magic's physical crisis and attack with all their strength.

Eddie Jordan was not wrong at all. Last night's game against the Rockets consumed a lot of Magic's physical energy, and flying overnight made the team not able to rest well.

In the first quarter, the Magic's touch was terrible. Lin Sen, who scored 42 points, 21 assists and 18 rebounds last night with the highest data in history, also performed poorly.

Under the care of Caron Butler, he took 4 shots and only hit 1 goal. If Milicic hadn't scored 7 points in a single quarter, the Magic might have double-digit points behind in the first quarter.

"Orlando was in a terrible state tonight and this is our chance.

Wood played a dominant night last night. Perhaps that game exhausted all of Wood's energy. He seemed to be struggling in today's game! "The local Washington commentator on the sidelines said with a smile.

At the end of the first quarter, the Magic trailed the Wizards at home by 6 points, and the Wizards' best performance was power forward Antawn Jamison.

In the second quarter, the Magic still didn't get much better, which made Stan Van Gundy a little anxious off the court.

Dwight Howard, who was sitting on the bench, watched his teammates on the field depressed and also very worried. He really wanted to stand up and tell Stan Van Gundy to let him play.

Lin Sen sat beside Howard, clearly feeling Howard's anxiety.

Howard's inadvertent expression at this moment was completely absent some time ago. Some time ago, Howard was completely a loner.

He seldom interacts with his teammates on the court, and more of reaching out for the ball.

This is Brazzi, the insider substitute of the Wizards, facing Eddie Griffin's defense. He turned around and wiped it in for an easy layup.

Looking at Griffin's state, Lin Sen knew that fighting against Yao Ming last night had consumed too much of his physical strength, and his footsteps were not like the usual Eddie Griffin.

With Brasi's goal this time, the Wizards pulled the point difference to two points, which was the first time in the game that the point difference reached double digits.

The entire Wizards home court laughed and cheered, and the sound of cheering became louder.

In the second quarter, with 6 minutes left before the first half, all the main players of the Magic except Lin Sen had already appeared, but the point difference still did not come back.

Howard beside Lin Sen frowned, his face full of worry.

Standing up, Lin Sen walked to Stan Van Gundy's side. Lin Sen's actions attracted many people's attention.

"Wood stood up and walked to Stan's side. He seemed to want to say something to Stan. Is he going to play? This time period is indeed the time for him to play." The Wizards commentator said.

Stan Van Gundy listened to Lin Sen's words and glanced at the bench behind him, while Dwight Howard looked at the field with a worried expression.

"Stan, trust him, now we have no better way, right?" Lin Sen said softly.

Stan Van Gundy nodded, if Howard is still the same after playing, then he will continue to block Howard.

"Dwight is ready to play with Wood!"

Howard couldn't believe his ears at all.

"Dwight stood up, is he going to play?" said the commentator.

After the dead ball, Linsen and Howard came on the court together.

Lin Sen pulled the ball and stood one step beyond the three-point line.

For Linsen, Caron Butler continued his defense in the first quarter. He knew that Linsen's three-pointers were accurate, so he didn't dare to let Linsen go, and immediately stuck to him.

Just when Butler was pressing forward, Lin Sen sprinted fiercely, speeding up completely close to Butler, and Butler immediately took a step back.

Seeing Butler's retreat, Lin Sen immediately responded.

He slapped the ball with his left hand, and the ball bounced behind his back.

He caught the ball with his right hand, and at the same time retreated as a whole. Just after he withdrew beyond the three-point line, he raised the ball with his right hand. The ball left Lin Sen's palm and went straight to the inside.

The basketball left Lin Sen's fingers and drew an arc under the attention of all the fans.

Dwight Howard, who was being marked by Heywood, turned around to let Heywood go, looked along the arc of the flying basketball, took a big step and jumped high.

When Dwight Howard reached the top, the ball came right in front of him.

Grab the ball with both hands and smash the ball directly to the basket.

Bang!

The basket wailed under Howard's pull! (To be continued.)
