Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty Four: Garnett's Mouth
The first timeout in the first quarter was 14:22, and the Pacers were 8 points behind. The score was not too big, but DeRozan scored 9 points in 5 minutes, which made him famous as the No. 1 shooting guard in the East. Oladipo was very depressed. It was fine if he felt average on the offensive end, but he didn't do a good job of defense. Every time he was given by DeRozan with his height.
Lin Sen frowned. The attack on the opposite side was very fast, and everyone took action very quickly. This is a way to prevent Lin Sen from resting the defense. Moreover, Valanciolos also had enough threats on the offensive end and was very strong in position. Lin Sen could not do his best to assist in defense.
"When these two trash brothers arrive at the regular season, they will be the King of the North at home?"
Tonight, it happened to be the day Lin Sen was in poor condition, and Ibaka's defense was indeed good. He used his physical strength to suppress Lin Sen with Valanciulos. One was the Big White Bear and the other was the black and rough. Anyway, you don't want to reason with them. One person made a foul at one time, and Lin Sen scored 3 points in half a quarter. However, it is mainly because this place is called the Air Canada Center. In other places, this is not something that can be solved by one person making a foul at one time.
After the timeout, Lin Sen was still not very adaptable to the opponent's muscle tactics. In fact, the opponent was also the same lineup last year. The opponent's inside line also started in the playoffs last season, but Lin Sen played very well. This year they seemed to have targeted some strength. In this game where the penalty was not strict, such a move undoubtedly took advantage. In addition, Lin Sen played back to back for 37 minutes on November 30, and that game was very difficult. Although it was two days later, it still affected Lin Sen's condition.
Not to mention Gallinari, he was extremely unacceptable to such a style of play. There was really a difference in the judgment standards of physical confrontation between the east and the west. Once Lin Sen's performance declined, no one helped him attract defense. His offensive ability suddenly dropped to a level. Without these two people, it can be said that the Pacers' offensive system suddenly failed. It was only by relying on Oladipo, who was stunned on the defensive end, to fight against the Raptors' "King of the North"? It was even more difficult!
At this time, as the commentator tonight and Garnett, who was also known for his toughness, suddenly started talking: "Lin played too hard. When the two insiders of the Raptors were giving their bodies a confrontation, it was obvious that Lin performed poorly."
In the middle of the second quarter, Valanciulos received a ball from Lowry in the interior to hit Lin Sen. This position was already very deep. I am afraid that players like Gasol, who did the best in the league, could not resist it. Lin Sen's strength has indeed been improving in his career, but in order to maintain speed, his lower limbs did not gain much weight and his lower limbs were not strong. In this defense, he was pushed open and directly completed a double-handed dunk.
The entire Air Canada Center suddenly cheered wildly, pushing the best defensive player, the finals MVP, Lin Sen, who just won the best of the month, completed the dunk. What a beautiful picture, and the Raptors staff also understand the hearts of the fans, replaying this picture again and again on the big screen at the top of the arena.
"Hey! Lin, you should be a little tougher. You are the first in the MVP list and the MVP in the finals. You can't be so soft. You have to respond at this time." Garnett, the new commentator, must find some opportunity to show his presence. Reggie Miller, who is partnering with him, is definitely a veteran in the commentary industry. He has done a good job in the field control. He basically can't keep up with the rhythm. At this time, Lin Sen is undoubtedly a topic that is easy to enter.
Garnett is a veteran player. When he was about to retire, he returned to the Timberwolves to bring new players for a year. That year, the new wolf king Towns came to their team. It happened that he and Lin Sen, the second round pick, left a grudge in the NCAA game. When he arrived at the NBA, he thought he had won the No. 1 pick and had already opened a gap in the grade with Lin Sen. Unexpectedly, he did not get any advantage in the two encounters with the Cavaliers.
That's all, in the final battle for the best rookie, Lin Sen won the final victory and even won the final championship. At the beginning, Towns was dissatisfied, but last year, Lin Sen won the Best Defensive Player in a single season, center team, and MVP in the Finals. However, a center team had already suppressed the honor that Towns gave him. As for the record, one championship and the other did not make it to the playoffs.
However, Garnett still protects his little wolf cub. He has praised Downs as an MVP-level genius player in more than one place. In fact, just looking at the data, Downs is a little worse than Linson, so the data is even more. Garnett has never liked Linson very much, but now he has even more. When he finds an opportunity, he will naturally speak.
Indeed, players are old qualifications, but as a commentator, he is a new and new commentator who cannot be new. Reggie Miller smiled and did not nod. What is the name of the person who is least afraid of slapping in the commentary? Charles Barkley, but now he doesn't dare to talk to Linsen casually in a game that has not yet ended. At most, when the overall situation is decided, he will try to get rid of the mockery value at this time, which leads to everyone complaining that Barkley is the hindsight when he meets Linsen.
Reggie Miller smiled and said, "Kevin, I don't think so. Lin was indeed a bit sluggish in the first half, but he will get his own. I have completely forgotten when the whole game was sluggish."
The conversation between the two people around Lin Sen was still continuing, but in the game scene, the Pacers were getting more and more ugly, and their momentum was suppressed. In sports and competitive sports, momentum has always been a very important part. For such a top-level team, momentum will completely make up for the gap in the team's strength.
At the last moment of the first half, Lowry once again hit a three-pointer on the head of CJ Myers, who was the miserable of his playoffs last year. He directly completed a three-pointer with such a high height difference of 10cm. It is obvious that Lowry's ability to shoot three-pointers has been greatly improved this season.
