Chapter 64: The Rookie's Stubbornness
"Hey, Dwyne, I'm optimistic about him. If you're so careless, I'm sorry. I'm going to take this victory tonight." James off the court began to tease his good friend Wade after seeing Lin Sen's performance.
Of course, he was also surprised by Lin Sen's beautiful block. He hadn't seen his partner get a block after passing others for a long time. The rookie he is optimistic about seems to have performed better than he imagined.
However, after all, the match against Wade is only very rare, and it is usually assisted and supplemented. The real challenge that belongs to Linsen is Chris Bosh.
Wade was defeated by Lin Sen, so the second person the Heat trusted was Bosh, and Lin Sen was also the player who was defending the position. Love's defense was not good, so the Cavaliers naturally couldn't let Love fight Bosh.
Bosh at the 45-degree angle of the outside line received a pass from Wade and a 1V1 single-handed challenge. In the previous four seasons of the Big Three, Bosh has been criticized for being far from the Jamway combination. Although he had key frontcourt rebounds and two key blocks in the sixth game of the 2013 Finals, and had 37 points to lead the team alone to defeat the Trail Blazers with a three-pointer, this is far from enough compared to the title of the Big Three.
In the seventh game of 2013, Duncan suppressed a single point, and the old man simply scored 25 points in the first half. Not to mention Duncan, even players who are not All-Stars like Hibert and Valan were still suppressed.
However, the average average of 20 last season proved that as long as he had enough ball rights, he was still the All-Star, so he was the only task of avenging Wade.
The three-threatening posture and the movement of the left foot forced Lin Sen to lower the center of gravity, but what he didn't expect was that Bosh made a shot like this and made a three-pointer directly. This ability to make a strong shot can be seen. After all, he is a space power forward, and one of the best power forwards of this type. He won the shooting star for several consecutive times, but it is not a joke.
At this time, the second quarter had reached the middle of the game, and the effect of the black hole in the court had long disappeared. Lin Sen's defensive experience was obviously not very good at judging the center of gravity of the three threats, and this ball did not interfere with it at all.
The next round was still a raising hand. This time Lin Sen was easily deceived, and his legs seemed to be installed with springs. The first time Bosh made the move, he jumped and blocked. The former easily rushed to the inside line like an old man taking a walk, and a 6-foot throw shot was successful.
Scored 5 points in a row! Lin Sen scored a dpoy-level defense during the black hole of the court to allow the Cavaliers to recover their scores, but after that, Bosh completely made him understand how far he was to be such a peak All-Star as a rookie when he had no skill time.
But there was no way. Although Lin Sen was a little confused by the opponent's consecutive axes, he still stuck to Bosh tightly, preventing the All-Star from performing too well. As long as he was not deceived, with Lin Sen's explosive power and speed, he had already wingspan. He might be the best player to defend Bosh, although this task was a little difficult.
Bosh truly felt the rookie's uniqueness after the first few rounds. His defensive experience suddenly fell a lot after a few minutes of the game. Although he didn't know why it was so unstable, he didn't have to show mercy and scored continuously.
Just when he was thinking about opening up the situation with his own strength, the rookie showed extraordinary resilience. He stuck to his side like a candy from the prevention of the ball, and used his arm span and speed that was no worse than himself to try his best to interfere with his shooting. It has to be said that he can always achieve maximum defensive ability without hesitation and active defense.
Lin Sen only gave Bosh 8 points in the second quarter. If it were not included in the first 5 points, Bosh only scored 3 points in the next half of the quarter, which was done when Bosh was in a good state. Perhaps there were not many inside players in the entire league able to do this.
The Cavaliers' bench also gave Lin Sen a great face. After every successful defense, everyone stood up and cheered. Although Irving, wearing a suit, did not hold a towel in his hand, he became the current captain of the Cavaliers' towel team.
56:52, Lin Sen scored 2 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks in a single quarter. This data looks very average, not to mention that Lin Sen played 12 minutes in the whole quarter, but his influence on the field was absolutely great. The excellent defense allowed the Cavaliers to go from behind to leading by 4 points.
During the halftime break, Lin Sen almost walked towards the locker room with the player passage. The 19-year-old boy was both weak in physical confrontation and physical strength. For the Cavaliers' defense, David Blatt had to let Lin Sen play a full single quarter. After all, Lin Sen's effect on the court was really good, especially on the defensive end. The fighting spirit and enthusiasm were not comparable to those of Mozkov and TT. Perhaps this was the stubbornness of the rookie.
"Lin, you're doing well. I admit that I didn't have much hope for you at the beginning of the season. I know Chris's strength. He just sacrificed too much for me and Dwayne. In the second quarter, you're definitely great at his defense. No rookie can do this. I'm very proud of you." James patted Linson on the shoulder with a smile. Maybe he has no chance to be the number one person in history, but it seems that he is much better than the Bobcats boss.
Of course, I couldn't just take it off because of the boss's praise. Lin Sen shook his head: "Boss! I almost felt like I was going to be packed and sent back to Cleveland by him in the first few rounds."
Lin Sen's expression and tone were exaggerated, which was also the vitality that a 19-year-old boy should have. Even if his body can no longer match his tone, he could still feel his excitement.
