During the Jazz's Eastern Conference trip, the West has been a real sudden change in recent days. The West, which was almost hard to lose, was second in the West. The Houston Rockets lost to the Jazz in a 20-game winning streak. After losing to the Jazz, many people think that this team will soon be able to enter the winning streak again. After all, they lost to the Jazz because of their lack of strength. Their schedule was not very good during that period. They should be better after returning to home court.｜｜｜

So, after the team returned to home, when the Jazz defeated the Spurs, the Rockets immediately knocked the Lakers down and returned to the track of victory again. Just as the whole world was looking forward to the team biting the Jazz tightly, they had two consecutive games, with the Nuggets, the young team led by Mutombo, and the third-team Supersonics team in the West. The Rockets lost all of the home games in these two games. If the Rockets lost to the Supersonics, it is actually not unacceptable. After all, the Supersonics are also very strong, but if the loss score is 97 to 112 and losing 15 points, it is unacceptable.

Of course, as for the previous loss to the Nuggets, it is absolutely unacceptable. Although the Nuggets are a very powerful team, this young team is not a strong team in the West. In this game, Olajuwon faced Mutombo's defense and fired all the time. He made 16 of 31 shots, scored 35 points, and also grabbed 17 rebounds and sent 4 blocks. If we only look at the data, Olajuwon was completely over Mutomwon. Mutomwon scored twice in double points in this game and had just 10 rebounds. However, Rockets fans who watched this game knew that although Mutomwon was extremely poor in data, he was the biggest contributor to the Nuggets in this game because he held Olajuwon one-on-one.

Although Olajuwon scored a lot and made a lot of shots, his contact with his teammates was cut off. The Nuggets did not double-team Olajuwon in the whole game. Olajuwon had only three assists in this game. More importantly, Mutombo did not give Olajuwon much free throw opportunity. Olajuwon did not use his offense to cause damage, so he could not cause trouble for the Nuggets. In this case, without the Rockets' group of outside lines controlled by Olajuwon, they were almost hit hard by the Nuggets' group of wolves on the outside. These Rockets' shooters performed extremely poorly in this game.

The Rockets' three-point shooting percentage in the whole game was 20 shots. It was a terrible sight. A losing streak, two consecutive losses were like a nightmare for the Rockets who had won 20 consecutive games. Although Rockets fans also know that their team is adjusting their state, they don't want the team to adjust their state to be at the cost of losing streak, which is not worth it. They also look forward to the Rockets being able to chase the Jazz closely.

However, the Rockets' record has now gone from 21 wins and 1 losses to 21 wins and 3 losses. The Supersonics, who had just defeated the Rockets, just took advantage of the opportunity to defeat the Rockets to reach the second place in the West. The good show has not ended yet. This Western Conference second team was directly defeated by Barkley's team after meeting the Suns the next day. The Supersonics, with extremely strong defense, returned to home court, only allowed the Suns, who were first in the offensive league, to score 89 points, but the Supersonics scored only 88 points. At the last moment of the game, they were finally defeated by Dan Marley. In this game, Dan Marley made 7 of 11 three-pointers. The Supersonics' second place in the West had not yet settled firmly, and the Supersonics gave up the second place in the West. This team, which is now 21 wins and 4 losses, has actually lost two games recently.

Not only did they lose to the Suns in this game, but they also lost to the Warriors before defeating the Rockets.

The Rockets and Supersonics, these two teams have performed extremely strongly before, and it is really hard to lose like the Jazz. However, when time slowly approaches Christmas, when the NBA teams are basically completed, these teams that are originally considered first-level are defeated by second-level teams one after another, but those who seem weak but have defeated stronger ones one after another. Such a result is definitely shocking enough.

Obviously, after such a thing happened, basically everyone knew that the real troubled times in NBA came! After Jordan, the troubled times in which heroes competed for the times have come!

Even if the seasons like the Supersonics and Rockets begin, more than one level of teams beyond other teams may be reversed by the Suns, Nuggets or the Warriors, especially when the Warriors' leading player Chris Mullin has returned.

"It's so messy, it's so messy. I didn't expect that in just a few days, the league's rankings have now become like this."

When Lin Han and the Jazz came back from the East to San Antonio, they were really shocked. Lin Han was even more shocked. He knew very well that the Nuggets and the Rockets were incredibly powerful. He had never thought that the Nuggets could defeat the Rockets. It was possible that the Warriors defeated the Supersonics under the leadership of Mullin, but the Supersonics could also abuse the Rockets away, which was also incredible. As for the Suns' winning Supersonics, this is this game. Although the Suns' start in the season, the team has remained unbeaten since losing to the Jazz!

Of course, most of the Jazz players were just shocked at this time, while Jazz's head coach Jerry Sloan was more worried at this time, because the Jazz's condition is actually not good now. Of course, he knew that the entire league was in chaos after Christmas, and the Jazz's next game would definitely not be so smooth.

And he was very worried about whether the rookie wall of Lin Han would appear as a rookie!

Although the NBA's super rookies do not have a rookie wall, the so-called rookie wall is only for the rookie style to be understood. The rookies are not adapted to the problems caused by the NBA's high-intensity rhythm and intensive schedule. As long as the playing style is not understood and the physical fitness is still sufficient, then these rookies cannot have any rookie wall. Of course, these rookies are naturally super rookies, Jordan, O'Neal Larry Bird or Magician.

As for whether Lin Han is a player of this level, it is hard to say, but from the current point of view, no one can stop Lin Han's playing style, and Lin Han's physical fitness seems to be in good condition. This makes Jerry Sloan a little relieved.

However, although Lin Han is pretty good now, most of the other Jazz players are a little tired at this time, not only physically, but also mentally. Fortunately, after today's game with the Spurs, the Jazz can return to home again.

On December 22, 1993, the San Antonio Alamo Stadium. This stadium located on Montana Street in San Antonio is the latest stadium in NBA. It was officially opened in May 1993, just like many stadiums in NBA. The Alamo Stadium is also a multi-purpose stadium. If necessary, this stadium can accommodate 40,000 basketball fans, but according to the NBA rules. Most stadiums in NBA must consider the fans' viewing experience. Therefore, the Spurs are generally only about 20,000 people in the Alamo Stadium.

However, even though the number of people is similar to other NBA stadiums, Lin Han still felt very good when he walked into the Spurs stadium. He has been in the NBA for a long time. Currently, there are not many NBA home courts that can compare with the current Alamo stadium, or Lin Han has not seen it yet, including the basketball holy site Madison Square. After all, the new stadium is indeed not comparable to that of the old stadium.

Of course, many NBA teams are now preparing to build new stadiums, and NBA's influence is getting bigger and bigger. Many of these old stadiums that have been used for decades naturally do not meet the requirements. Although the Alamo stadium is the latest now, it will be hard to say in the future.

Although the Jazz had just finished their trip to the Eastern Conference in this game between the Jazz and the Spurs, there were not many changes in personnel in this game. Lin Han was still the starter, Brian Russell replaced Jeff Malone as a small forward, Stockton was still the point guard, and Spencer and Malone partnered with the inside.

However, compared with the Jazz, the Spurs' changes are a bit big than before, because the team's starting lineup did not have Rodman's name, and the Spurs did not even make the roster in the inside, and Lin Han did not see him on the Spurs' bench.

It seems that Rodman was absent in this game, and the reality is the case. Rodman not only missed the game, but also missed training today. This guy went on vacation!

Don't be surprised, this guy is really on vacation, there are still three days before Christmas. This game is the last game before Christmas. This guy disappeared from the team on December 19th after the Spurs were visiting Chicago.

After playing the Jazz in this game, the Spurs' next opponent is after Christmas, playing against the Celtics at home on December 26. In other words, the very smart Rodman will be able to get a full seven days off as long as he misses a game!

I have to say that Rodman, who is in Chicago, Miami, or Las Vegas, is too smart at this time, but Rodman, who is so smart, makes the Spurs angry.

However, similarly, perhaps in the eyes of the Spurs players or coaches, it doesn't matter even if Rodman is absent. Anyway, after this guy meets Lin Han in this game, I don't know what will happen again. It's better if this guy is absent, the Spurs' tactics can still be played.

After Rodman made trouble, Lin Han's opponent finally became a very normal Dalle Ellis, the former NBA first shooter or NBA first shooter in the regular season.

For the Spurs, they wanted to win this game at home, but there was no way. The only one that the team could do is David Robinson. There is no need to hide the fact that the Spurs are just a team supported by David Robinson alone. Therefore, if the Spurs want to win in this game, they have to come up with strange tricks.

Therefore, in this game, because the Jazz's center Spencer had no offense and no defensive attributes, the Spurs directly sent their strongest offensive lineup, and all the starting Spurs players on the court can score. This is also the reason why Rodman was very angry after leaving the team for vacation. Even if Rodman stayed with the team, he could only play as a substitute in this game!

In this case, the Jazz will indeed be very passive. They are now very tired. If the opponent plays against them and plays impact-type play, it will be very hurt.

However, Lin Han actually likes this kind of playing style very much. Although other Jazz players may be very tired during the Eastern Conference trip, Lin Han is not worried about this problem at all, because he has a private space. In that space, he can use points to invite trainers to train him. There are not only trainers, physical therapists, and even team doctors in the training hall. As long as he is willing to give points, he can completely use the space to restore his physical fitness. For Lin Han, his physical fitness problems will only occur on the court, not outside the court. This can also be seen as Lin Han's recovery ability can be better than the entire NBA!

Even Aili said that as long as it is not a major injury, Lin Han doesn’t even have to worry about his injury at all!

"Why is this kid so fast?"

In this game, Spurs head coach Lucas wants to compete for the Jazz and win, but it makes the former NBA No. 1 shooter, Ellis, who is already 33 years old this year, tragedy, and it is impossible to play. Is there anything?!

In the last game against the Jazz, although the Spurs eventually lost the ball, facing Brian Russell, a rookie player, Ellis felt that he actually played very well, but from the beginning of this game, he fell into a passive position.

When attacking, he could not run away from Lin Han. Defensive people could not run away from Lin Han. This young rookie did not have the characteristics of ordinary rookies at all. Most rookies did not have the ability to be without the ball when entering the league. These self-genius players hope that others would run around them. Who would want to run around others?

But this guy Lin Han is completely different from those ordinary players. Not only does he hold the ball well, but he is also good without the ball. The defense that was criticized is almost completely invisible.

That's right, in Ellis's opinion, Lin Han's defense is simply perfect. At this time, Maxville of the Spurs knew that his voice would definitely agree with it. I have to say that Piaomiao Wujie is too deceptive, especially for these shooters, the deterrent power is too strong. When you work hard to run out of the opportunity, you find that there is always someone standing in front of you. In this case, any shooter is weak.

Unless you reach the level of Reggie Miller, or the determination and heart that you can throw it to you even when facing defense, it is obvious that Ellis now has both.

"It's so miserable."

After watching Ellis being thrown away by Lin Han again, the Jazz's No. 8 went around and received Stockton's pass. After hitting a jump shot from straight up and down again, as the commentator of ABC in this game, Collins couldn't bear to look at it.

Because of this game, Lin Han's performance against Ellis reminded him of Lin Han's previous beating Rockets shooter Maxville when he faced the Rockets. At this time, Collins suddenly discovered that Lin Han was simply a shooter killer.

Lin Han completely suppressed Ellis, and Spurs head coach Lucas naturally saw all this.

But at this time, he no longer cared about these things. He was almost gritting his teeth and insisting on his pre-match strategy. Ellis was exploded when he was exploded. As long as he pulled up the speed and made the Jazz play uncomfortable in this game, it didn't matter even if Lin Han could not limit it at all. Other Jazz players could not perform well.

I have to say that Lucas is indeed courageous at this time. Other Jazz players are really uncomfortable with the Spurs' high-speed game intensity. Even when facing Malone, who has never been afraid of David Robinson, in this game, he was very uncomfortable and his touch was not very good.

And at this time, Jerry Sloan really didn't dare to join Jeff Malone to replace Russell, completely attacking the Spurs or replace Spencer. Although the Jazz can actually run and fight, it depends on what the situation is. David Robinson is the center with the best physical fitness in the league. Let the Jazz run with the Spurs now. This is not just the most popular David Robinson likes him. At that time, this guy not only has a height advantage but also a speed advantage, so the Jazz can play running and fight with the Suns, because the Suns do not have a center like David Robinson.

More importantly, although the Jazz are not in such a good condition now, Lin Han is in good condition at this time, just like the game with the Rockets. As long as Lin Han can hold on to the first half, the Jazz should not be fooled by the Spurs' sudden force, and the Jazz will definitely be able to regain the game in the second half.

This is also the biggest reliance that Jerry Sloan dares not to adjust now!

"John, give me the ball, hurry up, give me the ball!"

The Spurs and Jazz matches were very different, and Lin Han played very well, but at this time Stockton was very unhappy by Lin Han.

Since the East played against the Celtics, this guy has realized his game temperament on the court. This guy has more and more opportunities to take the initiative to ask for the ball, and it seems that he is becoming more and more controllable on the court.

If Lin Han is the boss of a team, this kind of desire for control is very good. It represents domineeringness and his own momentum. But the key is that Lin Han is not the boss of the Jazz. Stockton doesn't like to divide his ball rights for one of the best point guards in the league.

However, in this game, he really has no other way, especially when other Jazz players can't play, so now they can only rely on Lin Han. He can only expect that Jazz players who are sleeping in the first half will wake up in the second half.

Although Stockton reluctantly shared the ball with Lin Han in the first half, which was not very acceptable to Stockton, it was also difficult for Spurs shooter Ellis, who faced Lin Han.

Lin Han was killed by Lin Han when he was out of the ball. Now Lin Han is in a state of interest and actually plays with the ball.

"Is it on the left or the right this time?!"

Facing Lin Han's possession in front of him and ready to start at any time, Ellis was extremely nervous, but just when he was guessing whether Lin Han was going left or right.

Lin Han has started to start to the right.

"Right? Guessed right!"

But before she could wait for Elis to be excited for a long time, Lin Han almost crushed Elis directly. The Spurs player who guessed Lin Han's breakthrough direction was forced to be crushed by Lin Han.

Lin Han, who forcibly broke through Ellis, faced with JR Reid, who ran over to make up for defense, and this substitute Rodman, directly made a quick stop jump shot with a straight up and down!

Go forward bravely + go up and down!

This is Lin Han's strongest ball-holding breakthrough skill now. The combination of these two Westbrook's skills is perfect, which is very consistent with Lin Han's current temperament on the court. It is very domineering.

Moreover, this move is like a god-like skill when bullying players who are not as strong as their own. After Lin Han crushed Ellis, Lin Han even wondered if Westbrook likes to play crushing in the game, crushing those players who are not as strong as him, are not as strong as him.

"Jerry, would you please let Lin be so crazy in the first half? It is very likely that he would be out of physical fitness in the second half. If the other players had not woken up in the second half, this game would be dangerous."

At this time, Lin Han realized his game temperament in the Celtics and wanted to find that feeling again in the game. Therefore, in this game with the Spurs, Lin Han played very crazy.

It was so crazy that I forgot that Stockton was actually his elder brother. It was not a good thing to ask for the ball from his elder brother.

Although Lin Han seems to have forgotten something because of madness, as the team's head coach and assistant coach, Jerry Sloan and Phil Johnson are naturally very clear about Lin Han's situation now.

These two were also very surprised by Lin Han's finding his game temperament not long ago, because finding a player with his game temperament means finding his own basketball path. What kind of path is this for top players? This may be the most important thing in their career.

It seems that Lin Han is taking a path like Jordan, but from now on, he has not completely found the direction of that path, but has only reached a little threshold. This is no longer easy for a young player.

It’s just that looking for that feeling in such a game is indeed not that good. After all, Lin Han is a professional player, and the top priority of professional players is to pursue victory, which is also in line with the needs of the team.

Although Lin Han is now leading the team to fight the Spurs with his own strength, this is indeed very exciting and looks to meet the Jazz's needs now, but it is not exactly the case.

If it were before, Jerry Sloan would have stopped Lin Han now, but now, after Phil Johnson reminded him, the Jazz coach still shook his head.

"We have to believe in Lin and other Jazz players. I think they can do what they should do."

Lin Han is indeed able to do what he should do now, but can Jazz players do what they change?

The answer needs to be waited, and the result of waiting is that when Lin Han frantically maintained the score for the Jazz in the first half, in the second half, Malone, Jeff Malone, who had been sleeping in the half, finally woke up from his fatigue in the consecutive away games.

At this time, Phil Johnson, the Jazz's assistant coach, was relieved.

This game is stable, you should know. Although the Jazz are away games and away games in a row, the Spurs are not a team with deep background. They have failed to win the Jazz in half and have lost the opportunity. They have let the Jazz find their own rhythm, so this team is likely to lose miserably.

"Is this kid's attack so crazy in the first half? Could it be that he found his own path and was testing his future direction?!"

After the second half began, the Jazz, who had recovered slowly, gradually took the initiative. They were still excited, but due to physical fitness, they were no longer as active as Lin Han in the first half. Collins on the sidelines suddenly seemed to have thought of something.

After the start of this game, he always felt that Lin Han seemed a little different from before. He was very familiar with this feeling, but he couldn't think of when he had seen him. After the second half, he saw Lin Han still with extremely firm and excited eyes after losing a lot of physical fitness, the Bulls head coach remembered where did he see this familiar Lin Han?!

Because, wasn’t Lin Han the same as Jordan before? At that time, Jordan was also looking for the way he wanted to go. Because of the rumors from the outside world, Jordan had gone through crazy scoring and crazy assists. He played a crazily triple-double on the court, etc. At that time, Jordan was the same as Lin Han now. However, Jordan was stronger than Lin Han now.

But at that time, Jordan was even more confused and did not have the firmness of Lin Han in the future!

"This kid is really incredible?! He is simply a monster. He has only played in the NBA for a few years. When Jordan thought of finding his own path instead of imitating others in a confused manner, Jordan had already played in the NBA for three seasons?! He has only been more than 20 games?!"

Collins was shocked at this time because looking for his own basketball path, this kind of thing has nothing to do with basketball strength. In the NBA, every player is unique. Looking for his own basketball path is to be the unique player. Some people have reached the end of their own path and found their true selves, such as Jordan, Larry Bird and the Magician. They know very clearly what they can do on the court and what their basketball is like. Some people may just stop halfway through or before the finish line. They may all be very successful, but they are also confused. Some people start to turn to their path after not finding their path. In the end, these players did not achieve the potential they should have, or were wasted their potential.

"I just don't know what step this kid can go and whether he can reach the end?! It's really exciting."

At this time, looking at the Jazz No. 8 on the court, Collins is now looking forward to this guy's future.
To be continued...
