"I don't want to emphasize too much to the Rockets' strength. This team is one of our most important opponents this season. This team has performed very well this season."

On December 15, 1993, in the home team locker room before the start of the Jazz's home game with the Rockets, Jerry Sloan was giving his final instructions to his team, and at this time the other Jazz players were also listening seriously.

"Especially their center, Hakeim Olajuwon, there is no doubt that this season he has really shown everyone the strength of the strongest center in the league. So far this season, he has almost won all the strong centers, whether it is David Robinson, Ewing or O'Neal the day before yesterday. The Rockets are also because of Olajuwon, now this team is the best in-out tactic team in the league."

"Their internal and external combination is the best in the league! It is even one level higher than the New York Knicks. As for what the New York Knicks are, I think you all should be very clear."

After Jerry Sloan finished speaking, he also looked at these Jazz players. When he saw the serious expressions on the faces of these Jazz players, Jerry Sloan nodded and expressed satisfaction. Obviously, the Jazz players understood his metaphor well. Although the Jazz doubled home and away games this season, the result of the game does not represent the process of the game. The Jazz, who lacks a strong center, played miserably when they met the New York Knicks, and was almost defeated by the Knicks' internal and external tactics. If Lin Han had not performed magically enough, perhaps the team that doubled home and away games would have been the Knicks doubled.

The Knicks' in-out tactics, that is, the combination of internal and external tactics, are already terrifying enough, and the Rockets are even more powerful. No Jazz players would think this is exaggerated, because the Jazz have seen them all over the Knicks and Rockets not long ago. Although Ewing made an emergency comeback after being tricked by Lin Han, and his condition is not the best, even Ewing is like this, he is the top center in the league. What is the final result? The Knicks and Ewing were suppressed by Olajuwon and the key in the game, and Ewing only made 4 of 20 shots in the game, directly staged what it means to be completely exploded.

At least the Jazz never thought that the arrogant Knicks would lose so badly, and the strength of this Rockets can be imagined.

Although no one of these Jazz players likes the Houston Rockets, they have to admit that this team is extremely powerful, especially when the Jazz haven't been able to compete with their opponents against the powerful center.

"In addition to Olajuwon, the team's strongest players are also the team's best players on the outside. When Olajuwon and Thorpe forced their lead to our inside, whether it was Kenny Smith, Robert Hawley or Vernon Maxville, their outside shooting was excellent, especially Maxville."

"Lin, although your opponent Maxville is not a powerful All-Star player in this game, he is extremely difficult to deal with. He may be one of the best outside role players in the entire league. He has excellent shooting, excellent three-pointers, and excellent defense. More importantly, his attitude towards the game is extremely excellent, he is a very comprehensive player, and more importantly, he is a player who can score 30 points in a single quarter."

When Jerry Sloan said that Maxville was a very outstanding role player, Lin Han's face was still normal, but when Jerry Sloan said that this guy was able to score 30 points in a single quarter, Lin Han's face changed a little. It was obvious that Jerry Sloan wanted to tell Lin Han that this player is a nerve knife. A character player once scored 30 points in a single quarter. What kind of role player has such ability? Of course, it is only a role player who can have such explosive scoring power. Lin Han's current characteristics are precisely that he is very unsuitable to deal with such nerve knife players, because Lin Han's defense is not oppressive and continuous. Because of this, Maxville is likely to explode in this game.

"Don't worry too much, just be able to stick to him all the time. Lin, your physical fitness is very good. Although Maxville is also very strong, there is one thing you are better than him, that is, your height is only 1.93 meters, which is 5 cm lower than you. As long as you can follow him, don't let him have too many opportunities to have space."

When the game was about to begin, Jerry Sloan was doing the final arrangement in the Jazz's locker room, while the Rockets on the other side were actually similar. Even the Rockets' locker room was much more lively than the Jazz's locker room. It was obvious that in the Rockets' view, their strength was stronger, and even today's away game had nothing to do with it.

"Coach, don't worry, I won't give him any chance to break through and dunk at the basket."

After Tomjanovic finished speaking, Olajuwon and Thorp, the team's inside line, almost guaranteed that although they did not play against the Jazz this season, the Rockets have studied the characteristics of Lin Han's recent game for a long time. This guy has almost used his crazy and weird straight-line breakthrough torture many NBA teams. Almost no team can find a feasible solution, because Lin Han's breakthrough is too cross-age, and there is no super strong defensive inside line that can't be stopped at all, unless everyone in the team surrounds him, but it is obvious that no team dares to deal with Lin Han like this, because Malone and Stockton are not ordinary players, who dares to let it go, so except for Lin Han's breakthrough that encountered a little trouble when meeting Mourning and Mutombo, Lin Han was almost free and easy to paint most of the time.

However, although Lin Han has been famous recently, the Rockets are not worried about his breakthrough. In addition to having Olajuwon, a powerful inside player, there is also Otisthorp, one of the best blue-collar inside players in the NBA. This guy can not only defend and grab rebounds, but also play back singles when necessary. He is almost a perfect inside blue-collar player. As a blue-collar player, he used to contribute 20+10 per game. Although you can say that his data was made by garbage teams, even when he was on the Rockets, he can contribute more than 10 rebounds and more than 15 points in each game. It is because of his existence that Olajuwon was able to transform into a fly swatter and deliver hot pot everywhere.

It was precisely because of him that Olajuwon was able to assure the coach that he would not let Lin Han go into the inside.

Therefore, in terms of the team's integrity, this year's Rockets are almost perfect, with the inside able to withstand the outside shot accurately.

"Also, although Lin Han rarely plays back and forth with his back from mid-range game, you should also pay attention. This kid has many offensive routines. Vernon, you are under a lot of pressure in this game."

After being named by Tom Janovic, Maxville nodded,

"I won't give him a chance to catch the ball. I will use my body to tell him that he is not qualified to enter the NBA top player club."

Maxville is very confident. He is a nerve knife, he is a pitcher, and his defense is excellent, but he is also a good player in football. If it weren't for entering the NBA, he could even enter the NFL, the professional rugby league. His body was very strong. In the entire NBA, few people who were stuck by him felt good.

He has such confidence. How strong can a Chinese player or a yellow man be?

The Rockets' tactical arrangement is almost as big as the Jazz. From this, it can be seen that neither of these two teams want to lose this game. This game may not determine the title of this season, but it can make the two teams turn the season. The losing team is likely to fall from peak to underestimation. Although the Rockets have been preparing to adjust the team's state, they do not want the team to fall from peak to underestimation. Naturally, the Jazz are the same.

At 8 o'clock in the evening on December 15, 1993, at the Utah Delta Center Arena, the entire Jazz's home court was already full as the game was about to begin. As the commentator on the game, former Boston Celtic legendary player Larry Bird and former Bulls head coach Doug Collins were talking and laughing at this time.

ABC attaches great importance to this game. They even thought about inviting Magic Johnson, but it was obvious that Magic Johnson refused because the Lakers player had a grudge against the Jazz. The team he led in 1988 eliminated the Jazz who was still young, and since then he was hated by the Jazz player Malone. So after Magic Johnson got AIDS, Kal Malone was the most happy to dance. When the entire league chose to forgive Magic, only Malone kept talking to the Magician. It has to be said that the NBA superstars at this time all had a "hateful" heart.

As for why Larry Bird accepted the invitation? That's because this guy is so boring. He will be bored to play golf every day after retirement. He originally wanted to find something for the Celtics, such as being a general manager or head coach, but the Celtics have a lot of internal factions and the internal struggle is extremely strong, so the Celtics never thought of Larry Bird leading the team to revive, so even if Larry Bird wants to stay in the team, he can only do idle jobs. Therefore, this white legendary superstar with extremely high IQ is really a pity now.

Moreover, Lin Han has been so popular recently. Even the "old guy" who has withdrawn from the league is well known. He also wants to see if this young man is really as strong as rumored. Moreover, the Jazz and Rockets game can definitely be called an epic game.

"Lin is probably going to change his style of play in this game. He needs to shoot more from the outside in the face of the Rockets. He rarely uses it in recent games. However, Maxville's defense is very tough, and it is probably difficult for him to get rid of the defense. This game is a bit difficult for him."

When Doug Collins saw the Jazz players coming out amid the cheers of the fans, he looked at the Jazz No. 8 player who was receiving the cheers and applause of the fans all over the court and said that this game was indeed not easy for Lin Han, because most of Lin Han's mid-range shooting was turned around, and it was not bad to shoot with his back. It was just that this offensive method required physical contact with the opponent. If the opponent was extremely strong, the success rate of this shooting method was difficult to guarantee. As for the remaining three-pointers, even Larry Bird, who was sitting next to him, he would not dare to say that he could have such a good outside feel in one game.

Therefore, the situation faced by Lin Han in this game is actually quite dangerous. There is no goal in the inside, no middle distance, no confidence outside the three-point line, and his defense cannot be trusted. A bad thing is that this rookie who has been storming in recent times is likely to become the sinner of the Jazz losing in this game.

"Although I don't know much about this young man, judging from his current expression, he should have strong confidence in this game. Perhaps the situation may not be as dangerous as you said."

After Collins finished speaking, Larry Bird did not agree, but smiled after observing Lin Han for a while. However, after Larry Bird finished speaking, Collins shook his head again.

"His unball run is also excellent, but he rarely uses his unball run to make mid-range emergency stop jump shots. If he has the ability in this regard, the situation may be different, but judging from these twenty games, he has almost no mid-range emergency stop jump shots."

This game is a very critical game, but for the Jazz, their starting lineup cannot be changed in any game. The center does not have a player worthy of trust, so it is still SBingser, the power forward is Malone, the small forward is still Brian Russell, the shooting guard is Lin Han, and the organizational guard is Stockton. If nothing unexpected happens, this starting lineup will continue until the end of the season.

As for the Rockets, they are also extremely stable. The center position is Olajuwon, the team's leader, the power forward is the best blue-collar inside clue in the league, the small forward is last year's rookie, Robert Hawley, the shooting guard is the famous nerve knife in the league. He once scored 30 points in a single quarter in a game, and the organizational guard is Kenny Smith, a famous shooter in the league's No. 1 position.

When the starting lineups of the two teams were completed, they all stood at the designated positions and the referee Bavita threw the basketball in his hand into the air, the game officially began.

However, there was almost no suspense about jumping this time. Olajuwon easily defeated the young center, Sbingsai, and helped the Rockets get the first wave of ball rights.

As a team with only big centers and the best team in the league in the in-out, the Rockets' offensive advancement is not very fast, but the team made it difficult for the Jazz to handle after the half-time. Although Kenny Smith is the organizational guard, the defender is not the team's organizer. The real organizer of the team is Olajuwon, the center. Kenny Smith often passes the ball to Olajuwon, the inside, and then runs to the designated position to catch the ball and shoot. Most of the Rockets' tactics are like this, with one pillar in the inside and one player on the outside.

Naturally, as the first offense in this game, the Rockets naturally played according to their tactical design. After receiving Kenny Smith's pass, Olajuwon faced Spencer's defense, the Rockets' head player's footsteps under the basket had not been completed, and Spinse behind him was shaken by Olajuwon. Faced with such a weak defense, the Rockets' head player almost took a little effort and turned around and dunked to help the Rockets win the first point of the game.

"The very beautiful footsteps under the basket. Perhaps in the history of NBA, no one except Kevin has the footsteps under the basket compared to Olajuwon."

When Olajuwon shook Spencer's defensive dunk very beautifully in the booing of the whole game, Larry Bird also gave a very high evaluation as the commentator of the game. The Kevin he mentioned was naturally McHale. This Celtic legendary power forward was the first inside player in the NBA that year. It was because he wanted to make a place for McHale that Larry Bird was forced to play from the power forward to the small forward.

So Larry Bird's evaluation of Olajuwon can be said to be very high, but no one thinks this evaluation is wrong, because this is the truth.

"Boy, I hope your performance in this game can be as good as your eloquence."

After easily defeating Sibians, Olajuwon did not forget to ridicule Lin Han when he returned to defense.

Faced with Olajuwon's ridicule, Lin Han was extremely calm at this time, because he knew that Olajuwon was irritating him. If he became uneasy after being irritated by Olajuwon and finally chose to fight Olajuwon hard, then he could really be said to have been fooled.

So after adjusting his emotions, Lin Han shook his head, and looked at him with distrust. At this time, Si Bingsai was still dazed in the inside line and didn't know what happened. He was really speechless about the starting center of the team. Facing the powerful center, the Jazz had to be exposed inside.

"It seems that Lin Han is going to be a tragedy in this game. Olajuwon has already set his sights on him. Olajuwon is not something Ewing can compete with. The players targeted by Olajuwon do not have too many good ends! This kid is definitely over this game!"

"That's right, if this kid cannot break through this game, and the defense against Maxville is also excellent, his mid-range back jump shot is useless, and in the end he can only keep throwing outside the three-point line. At that time, if the Jazz loses, he will become the number one sinner in this game!"

"Hahaha, it seems that this guy is finally over. In the previous game this season, this kid is really too arrogant and can take a break now!"

After Olajuwon scored the first goal of this game, everyone else naturally saw it, especially the media reporters on the sidelines who had been waiting for Lin Han to embarrass themselves in the NBA. These guys had been waiting for this day long. Ewing and Barkley had failed when facing Lin Han before, and this time Olajuwon would never disappoint them.

Faced with the ridicule of these people, even the local media reporters who have been protecting Lin Han have no reason to refute it, because in fact, Lin Han faces a lot of pressure in this game. If Olajuwon really decides to ban Lin Han.

Faced with Olajuwon's provocation, what Lin Han could do was very simple, that is, directly use his own performance to fight back!

However, before fighting back at Olajuwon, one thing Lin Han needs to do is to get rid of Maxville. In this game, Lin Han only passed half of the game, and the Rockets' defensive player came over. Obviously, he was not going to let Lin Han catch the ball easily.

This guy is ready to defend Lin Han throughout the game.

"Haha, boy, don't blame me for this game, who made you offend our boss?"

When Maxville posted Lin Han, the Rockets guard did not forget to make fun of Lin Han, especially when Stockton was preparing to find a pass opportunity for Lin Han, the Rockets guard who had been following Lin Han to play the off-ball running position with Lin Han, secretly tried hard, preparing to squeeze Lin Han down the moment Stockton passed the ball and looked for Lin Han!

"What?!"

But after Maxville exerted his strength, the defender, who had always been known for his strength and strength, suddenly felt like he had hit a goalboard. This rookie who was much higher than him was no worse than him in terms of strength. When he was secretly hitting Lin Han, it was not Lin Han who was knocked away, but himself!

"How is this possible?!"

Not to mention Maxville himself, even the other Rockets players on the side felt a little incredible. They all knew Maxville's strength. Apart from the team's inside players, he was the strongest, but this Rockets' most powerful player on the outside was actually knocked away by Lin Han when he crashed into Lin Han like a miraculously. This is simply unacceptable!

When Lin Han pushed Maxville and got the chance to catch the ball, even Stockton was a little stunned. He originally thought that his pass might be a mistake. He was also secretly angry that Lin Han was irrationally competing with Maxville for strength rather than height and arm span, but he didn't expect that this would end up being the result.

"How many things are there hidden in this kid?!"

At this time, Lin Han, who had already received the ball, jumped high at the right-hand position of the free throw line, and was about to catch the ball and then jumped forward with a quick stop and jump shot. Stockton's mouth was very big.

Because Lin Han's shooting height was too high at this time. He has been in the league for so many years and has never seen many players who can jump so high when they are in the emergency stop jump. After all, for a pitcher, the higher the jump, the better. It is necessary to have a suitable height. If it is too high, it is difficult to control the shooting posture and shooting point. If it is too low, it is easy to be blocked. Therefore, most NBA players get the middle value when shooting. No one is like Lin Han, who is so straight up and down and jump so high.

So, when he saw Lin Han almost stopping at the highest altitude, Rockets guard Maxville, who was standing under Lin Han, was shocked like other players on the court and the coaches of the two teams on the sidelines.

And just when everyone was stunned by Lin Han's shooting bouncing height, Lin Han was very calm in the air using Westbrook's straight up and down emergency stop jump shot skill to shoot the first goal of the game.

With a swipe, the ball was followed by the crazy cheers of Jazz fans on the scene and entered the net with hollow space!

"This, this, this is Lin Han's emergency stop jump shot? This guy will really stop jump shot?!"

When Lin Han made a jump shot, Doug Collins, who was sitting on the sidelines, looked shocked, while Larry Bird, who was on the side, was very calm at this time, still smiling relaxedly.

But if you really look at Bird's eyes carefully at this time, this Celtic legendary player is not as relaxed as he shows.

"This kid's shooting is really unique!"

Larry Bird sweated secretly in his heart. This was the first time he saw a yellow-skinned player playing jump shots in the NBA. He actually relied on his physical fitness. From knocking away Maxville before to using his bounce in the end, this kid's movements on the court were very domineering!

And this is such a domineering Lin Han who shocked the audience at the beginning, and this time he officially entered Olajuwon's eyes.

At this time, Olajuwon, who was in the Rockets' inside, was staring at Lin Han, who was "touched" by Marlon and the Jazz players with a pair of almost killing eyes.

"It's fun, if it's like a dead dog at the beginning, it's too boring" r1152
