Being able to lead the Houston Rockets as they enter the fourth quarter is definitely a very good thing for the Jazz, because the Jazz will have more time to get enough rest for the almost crazy starter in the third quarter.

Because even at the start of the fourth quarter, it doesn't matter if the Jazz substitutes are habitually lost or not strong again, unless these Jazz substitutes are played by the Rockets' substitutes, it is obvious that with Jeff Malone, even if the Rockets' substitutes are more powerful at critical moments, it will be difficult to really defeat the Jazz.

In this case, unless the Rockets launch a final attack, allowing the starter to stop resting in the fourth quarter and stage a final battle in advance, this situation is impossible, because no one is doing such a thing in consecutive away games. Moreover, the Rockets are not unacceptable to being four points behind now. This team has enough patience to let their substitute players come forward and take it for a while, and the Rockets' substitute is first-class in the league.

Therefore, for these two teams, they can accept the situation where the substitute stayed on the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and are also preparing for the final battle in the last moment of the fourth quarter!

"Defense! Defense! Defense! Defense!"

When the fourth quarter started, the Jazz fans who had been in the most excited since the second half were almost crazy roaring for the team, and the performance of the Jazz players in this game was definitely worthy of their crazy shouting for it.

At this time, the Jazz's substitute may have been so crazy inspired by the fans on the scene. Finally, there was no such trick as the first half. Although the Rockets wanted to quickly pull the score back, the two teams are now extremely anxious to fight again.

A team wants to widen the score. A team wants to completely establish the victory of the game. Another team wants to quickly recover the score. What should we do when two such teams have similar strengths and similar game situations?

It's very simple. Just like the Jazz and the Rockets players now, they are crazily accelerating the pace of the game in the shouts of assistant coaches of the two teams, because the current situation on both sides seems to be in an advantage. The opponent is at a disadvantage. Even the Jazz, who is behind in the bench in the first half, is amid the cheers of fans all over the court. They believe that they are different now than in the first half.

In the first half, this team was absolutely passive. Not to mention that their substitute players were a little quiet, even the fans on the scene were not so active. In this case, it was difficult for them to truly perform fully and perform beyond their level. Since Lin Han cheated Olajuwon in the third quarter and brought back the entire game situation, don't think that only the starting players were inspired by Lin Han. Even sitting off the court, they were extremely excited. To some extent, they even want to play the game and prove themselves again.

Because it's very simple, if the Jazz can beat the Rockets in this game, no matter how many considerable reasons the Rockets have in this game to prove that they are not in their best condition, but there is one thing that can be confirmed. The Jazz really have the strength of the champion this season!

Facing such a team, no one is willing to leave, especially these ordinary substitutes, rather than star players like Jeff Malone. Even if these ordinary substitutes win the championship as substitutes, their value will double. In the current NBA, the championship ring almost means an iron rice bowl!

Now who doesn’t know about the Jazz? This team is looking for a possible deal!

"Huh, it seems that it is not so unacceptable to bring such a group of players now."

Of course, at this time, the enthusiasm of other substitutes of the Jazz has increased. This is a good thing for Jeff Malone. Although he is strong and even Jordan is afraid of him at his peak, he really only has one person. No matter how strong he is, he often cannot guarantee that he is always in the best state. There are always times when the situation is bad. If a team's bench depends on only one player, the risk will be too great.

Therefore, for the Jazz, this team has indeed become perhaps the most promising team in the league because of Lin Han's arrival. Even the league president David Stern has repeatedly visited this team for inspection. The meaning of cultivation is self-evident. However, as this promising team, leading the bench of this team is not an easy task, and this is also an important reason why Jeff Malone has always been reluctant to stay.

Not only does he hope to be the All-Star again, not only he is unwilling to play as a substitute, but he is unwilling to play as a substitute with this Jazz with this group of Jazz players. These guys are really too tricky. Last season, Jerry Sloan cheated the Jazz and let the Jazz get out of the first round, making Malone and Stockton almost the laughing stock of the league. As the person involved, Jeff Malone doesn't want to be cheated by these guys too.

"The Jazz are in a hot state now. It is not easy for the Rockets to catch up. Tom Janovic and Olajuwon must be mentally prepared enough."

Collins' mood was actually very complicated at this time. To say that the situation in this game has completely exceeded ABC's expectations. As a live NBA TV station, it is enough to play in one game so far. Before this game, Collins even thought that due to the lack of inside pillars, facing a team like the Rockets, the Jazz will collapse sooner or later and it is impossible to defeat their opponents in the end.

But the reality of this game is that even if there is a lack of inside pillars and even if the inside players perform poorly overall, the team has persisted until now. Even at the last moment, their hopes of winning look greater, which is simply jaw-dropping.

The reason why the Bulls coach was dismissed from the Bulls was replaced by Fei Er Jackson was because when facing the Pistons, the Bulls coach could not find a way to defeat his opponent? His dismissal was not because of his poor relationship with Jordan, nor because of his poor record in leading the team. Instead, he really couldn't find a way to defeat a more perfect team. At that time, the Pistons were a more perfect team for the Bulls, just like the Rockets were also a more perfect team for the Jazz.

This Jazz is very similar to the bull back then. Even Lin Han and Jordan are in similar situations now. The only difference is that Lin Han has more helpers. The Jazz looks much better now than the bulls back then.

"Observation, offense, speed increase, speed, we need speed!"

At this time, Doug Collins thought about his years at the Bulls because of the Jazz. At this time, the Jazz players and Rockets players on the court were playing faster and faster. Even at this time, the Jazz's assistant coach Fier Johnson had already stood on the sidelines and was about to step into the court.

"Fei'er is too excited!"

At this time, Lin Han was surprised when he looked at his team's assistant coach's current peak situation. After Lin Han finished speaking, Ma Long and Stockton, who were sitting next to Lin Han, looked at each other, and all smiled bitterly.

"Who do you think this is the reason?"

At the same time, Malone and Stockton said something to Lin Han in their hearts.

Jazz's assistant coach Fier Johnson is easily excited. Since Lin Han joined the team, the Jazz's assistant coach has been even more excited because this year's Jazz rookie is so elusive and incredible.

"Is the final battle finally going to be?!"

With the crazy speeding up by the substitutes of both sides, the fourth quarter of the game was very fast and also extremely exciting, which made people feel that time passed very quickly. It was not until the official timeout after six minutes, when both sides replaced their team's starters, the fans and the audience realized that the first half of the quarter was just an appetizer.

"What we need in this game is victory, other than that. The other results have no meaning. I will never accept the so-called result that is still honorable even if you lose. In the NBA field, there is no so-called victory even if you lose. We only need to win!"

"Victory! Victory! Victory!"

When the Jazz players were ready to play, as the leader of the Jazz locker room, Stockton called on all the players to roar loudly.

"Ok, that's it. Like a warrior, be prepared to advance without retreat!"

"There is an advancement and retreat! There is an advancement and no retreat! There is an advancement and no retreat!"

Although Lin Han looked at his teammates who were roaring loudly at this time, he felt a little ashamed no matter how he looked at it. If it were in the past, Lin Han would definitely laugh at his teammates for being old-fashioned and thought he was really shooting a hero movie or a Knight movie? So you can get a super bonus by shouting a few words?

But now, for some reason, Lin Han seemed to be infected when he looked at the extremely serious expressions on Stockton and Malone, Spinse and Russell's faces.

"Is this the feeling of pursuing victory on the court? I seem to have found something!"

At this time, Lin Han gently placed his right hand on his chest, feeling his heartbeat getting faster and faster, he seemed to have realized something.

Now the Jazz are ready for a final try, and the Rockets on the other side are similar, especially at this time when Olajuwon, who is angry like a lion, is looking at the Jazz player standing back on the court. If he is an ordinary player, he will probably be frightened by Olajuwon's eyes and his legs are weak.

For example, at this time, the Jazz had the center, and always had the words "potential center". He was just looking proud of his death, but at this time, Olajuwon stared at him and his legs were weak.

Lin Han is disgusted with this guy. No matter how fierce Olajuwon is, he will not really eat you. Do you need to be so scared?

So when he was facing Olajuwon's gaze again, Lin Han deliberately raised his head and chest out. After glanced at Olajuwon with his eyes, he left a 'hum' and turned around and walked towards his half!

"This bastard!!"

Faced with Lin Han's ignorance, Olajuwon's fists were clattering, and Maxville, who was standing on the side of Olajuwon's body was trembling at this time with Olajuwon's fists.

At this time, this Rockets' Nervous Knife is probably going to hate Lin Han to death. Why do you always like to provoke our boss? Do you know that after this game, the more fierce you provoke, the harder I will be in the future. At this time, Maxville not only was he almost lost confidence in this game by Lin Han, but he was also about to cry. If he had a choice, he would never be willing to fight Lin Han in this game.

This kid is not as easy to mess with as he looks. Lin Han is only 19 years old now, and his face is still a little baby fat. Although he looks heroic, he is considered a young man after all. For NBA, young people like Lin Han are easily bullied. This is the current environment of NBA, which is also the reason why many NBA players disdain Lin Han. In their opinion, Lin Han has entered a world belonging to adults.

Therefore, it is actually difficult for high school students and players to get along with NBAs. Everyone generally does not trust high school students and players. Because there is no high school player who has caused phenomenal level yet. Although Lin Han is not a high school player, he is definitely the age of a high school player.

After the start of the fourth quarter, in order to catch up with the score faster, the Rockets almost had a decisive battle as soon as they got up. There was no way. After the competition between the substitute players of both sides ended, the score between the two sides was 95 to 90. The Rockets were five points behind, although five points didn't seem to be a lot. However, if the Jazz were in a state like the third quarter or the beginning of the fourth quarter, it would be almost impossible for the Rockets to recover.

How to suppress the Jazz's state is very simple. Since the Jazz is crazy, the Rockets just need to be more crazy than the Jazz.

Perhaps such a requirement cannot be achieved for most teams in the league, but for the Rockets and Olajuwon, such requirement can be achieved, and they have such strength.

Especially when Olajuwon faces the Jazz's inside, it is simply a plea. One-on-one Spencer cannot withstand him. As for the pinch, Olajuwon's pass may be the best among all the insides in the league. Sometimes, pinch may not be able to block Olajuwon's footsteps called "dream".

This is also what makes the Jazz extremely depressed, because as long as the Rockets are willing, they can use their inside advantages to gain the initiative in the game. This is the usual style of playing and advantage of most inside teams in the league.

Now the Rockets are already chasing points with Olajuwon, and Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan on the sidelines is constantly paying attention to the timer on the court, watching how much time there is left for the game to be over.

However, it is obvious that it would be impossible for the Jazz to keep this way until the end of the game. Now Olajuwon has red eyes with the Rockets, and no one in the Jazz can stand on the inside. In the end, there is no way. Malone, who has always been not very good in this game, once again, just like when he played against the New York Knicks, he stood on the way like a center.

"Are Malone now ready to give up his offense completely? But after Malone defends with all his strength, what should the Jazz do to attack? It depends entirely on Lin Han, but does Lin Han have a fixed style of playing and routines for the Jazz now? Apart from running without the ball?!"

When Kal Malone on the field saw that the Rockets were getting closer and closer, he was ready to give up the sacrifice for this game and give up his offense and defend with all his strength. At this time, the press conference seat on the sidelines was almost in an uproar.

When will Malone give up his offense? There are only two situations. One is that when the Knicks were playing against the Knicks, the Jazz really couldn't stand Ewing, and the score difference in the end became bigger and bigger. If Malone didn't sacrifice, the game would be impossible and he would definitely lose. So Malone had to grit his teeth at that time.

Now, although the Rockets are chasing points after the fourth quarter restarts, the Jazz are still leading now, and Olajuwon and the Rockets cannot always be so accurate. Even if Malone does not fight Olajuwon, Olajuwon may not be able to continue to impact Spikes. Even if Olajuwon can maintain a very high offensive efficiency, aren’t the Jazz still Lin Han and Malone? As long as Malone can regain the feel and match Lin Han, the Jazz still has the opportunity to defend the advantage until the end.

Now, Ma Long gave up his attack so early, the only possibility is that he has developed absolute trust in Lin Han!!!

The Jazz's leading player believes that even if the team does not have their own offense, Lin Han can replace him and complete the job well, and he only needs to slightly limit Olajuwon and give Lin Han a greater advantage.

When we figured out this, all the reporters at the sidelines looked at each other.

This Jazz rookie who has always been a cancer in their minds has actually made Malone trust him in just twenty games!

Who is Malone? Although he was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs last season and played extremely embarrassedly under Sean Camp's defense, no matter how much criticism he faces now, he is also a superstar of the NBA and a member of the Dream Team. It is simply a fantasy to ask such a player to sacrifice what he is best at to assist a rookie!

And Lin Han has done it now!

"Lin, don't be nervous, I believe you will never lose to Olajuwon in this game."

At this time, facing Lin Han's puzzled look, Ma Long felt helpless. If he could choose, he wanted to become the team's last hero. But it was really not possible now. Faced with the strangulation of the Rockets, he really felt that his condition was not very good in this game.

He also knew that he chose to take the initiative to fight for Lin Han today and sacrifice his offense to fulfill his defense. Then, he would sacrifice more and more like this because this is the leadership of the team, and Ma Long has decided to share the leadership with Lin Han.

Stockton didn't have much opinion on Malone's decision. Now he and Malone are no longer young. They know very clearly what the most important thing they want to pursue.

"I see"

After looking at Ma Long deeply, Lin Han said lightly.

He will do it alone for a while in the next game!

Because Malone said that the team's offense was handed over to him, it means that the team's offense on the court had to be done solely. He can't cooperate with the team's players except Stockton now!

Moreover, the Jazz players, Russell and Lin Han's bodyguards, pure defensive players, Spencer, and Eun, can be ignored directly. Finally, Stockton. If it is not a time of life and death, Stockton generally will not take the initiative to attack.

So now without Ma Long's offensive strength, Lin Han is the only offensive strength on the field, so he can only fight casually.

"Larry, do you think Jazz is a violent medicine or a poison?"

“It’s hard to say, it’s really hard to say”

Larry Bird was not sure about the current situation on the court for a while.

But at this time, the changes in the Jazz didn't care about Olajuwon, who had long been red-eyed.

"Carl, you don't think you can really defend me, right?"

Facing Olajuwon's extremely joking words, Ma Long was speechless. If I had a good feel in this game, I would be willing to come and beat you. At this time, Ma Long complained in his heart.

The Rockets' offense is very, very monotonous, which is that Olajuwon and a group of shooters are constantly playing in-out tactics, that is, tactics of internal and external combinations. Now the Jazz's tactics are also extremely monotonous. After Malone does not participate, only Lin Han's one-on-one is left.

Now it depends on the two teams' monotonous playing style, which one is more efficient.

"Shake away, Hakim! Huh? Carl wasn't completely shaken away?! What a pity, no, hook, beautiful hook under the basket!"

"Maron's center of gravity is very low, his defensive awareness is not bad, he is much stronger than Spencer. Olajuwon wants to use his footsteps to break through the frame, and it is difficult to keep getting dunks. However, Maron's height is a flaw. Olajuwon can try more hooking or half-bats. However, such an offensive method is difficult to maintain than breaking through the frame and using his own footsteps to shake the opponent's dunks."

"In other words, Malone replaced Olajuwon not to defend Olajuwon, but to let Olajuwon score using a more difficult offensive method."

"Well, that's true. Otherwise, it would be too difficult to have an outside line like Lin Han compare the offensive success rate with an inside line like Olajuwon."

Just as Collins and Larry Bird were discussing Malone and Olajuwon, the Jazz's offense had already begun to advance.

Stockton is the most stable point guard in the NBA after Magic and Isaiah Thomas. He knows very well what kind of situation he is on the court and what to do. For the Jazz now, without the inside offensive point, the game cannot fall into the position. In this case, every attack must be fast!

And Lin Han is like this now, almost when Olajuwon hit a hook shot. When Malone was about to serve the bottom line, Lin Han rushed towards the Rockets' half-time.

At this time, the entire Rockets' defense line was in chaos.

"Boy, I'm not Vernon. It's impossible to shoot on me!"

Stockton threw the ball out with his own one-handed pass before halftime, and naturally the target was Lin Han who had passed halftime.

The opponent Lin Han is facing is no longer Maxville, who is shorter than him and his strength is broken by him, because the opponents of the two teams are now in chaos. The player standing in front of Lin Han is Robert Hawley. The forward is over 2.06 meters tall, nearly 10 centimeters taller than Lin Han. Although this guy is a little thinner than the inside, for outside players. Especially for Lin Han, Lin Han is now a tough guy on the outside, but he may not be as good as an ordinary inside player.

In this case, facing Stockton's one-handed pass, Lin Han is actually under a lot of pressure now. If he faces Maxville, Lin Han will take off his opponent in one step, even if he can't take off his opponent, Lin Han also has the advantage of height and wingspan. But now, when facing Hawley, Lin Han only has the advantage of speed, but the speed advantage also requires receiving the ball to play.
