Chapter 122 Lin Han's Christmas

(The general update time of this book is around 11 am, around 6 pm and around 9 pm. I also want to subscribe and monthly tickets, please support me!)

"We lost again, yes, we lost again, it's a pity, it's a pity, we prepared more fully in this game than the previous one, but this is the NBA. The most important factor in determining the outcome of the game has never been the preparation before the game, but the players on the court."

After the home game between the Spurs and the Jazz, Spurs' head coach John Lucas looked depressed and very disappointed. All the reporters at the scene could feel the helplessness of the Spurs' head coach. Compared with the helplessness of Spurs' head coach John Lucas, Jerry Sloan on the side was still the gods, and his face always maintained a smile belonging to the winner.

After the start of this season, Jerry Sloan was surprised to find something very interesting. The 51-year-old coach felt that his body was getting better and better, and he was getting angry less and less. Obviously, this is probably because the Jazz has not lost so far this season, and this guy didn't even have the chance to get angry at the press conference.

"Yes, I don't think there is anything wrong with my tactical arrangement in this game. There is no problem at all. It's just that we don't have a player like Lin Han. Before, the NBA had three special players, the first two were Magic and Larry Bird. They created an era that made the NBA more exciting and outstanding, and Jordan raised the NBA to another level. I think Lin Han's future will be like them, an epoch-making athlete, and the Jazz is the luckiest team this year. Their fans have the opportunity to see Stockton, Malone and Jordan play on the same team."

It is impossible to say that he has no resentment in his heart when he was defeated by the Jazz two consecutive games. At this time, John Lucas was full of resentment, but when these reporters at the scene asked Lin Han about his questions, the head coach of the Spurs still gave Lin Han a very high evaluation. Although the US's number one "Lin Chui" media today has long praised Lin Han as the future football king of NBA, in the professional field of NBA, that is, players or coaches. Not many people have admitted that Lin Han has not been optimistic about Lin Han, even in the media industry, many media experts are still not optimistic about Lin Han. After all, Lin Han is a yellow man. Although his physical fitness is already extremely exciting.

It is not even worse than many black people. However, the biggest difference between yellow people and black people is not in the obvious properties of the body, but in terms of tolerance, which is almost impossible to change. The body structure and muscle structure of different races are different. Lin Han has unlimited potential now. As long as Lin Han is seriously injured, Jordan can recover and then fly in the NBA. If Lin Han is seriously injured in his career, it will be difficult for Lin Han to recover. Now, he is in the NBA, especially a player like Lin Han who can attract hatred. It is impossible to ensure that he is not injured.

Therefore, in the eyes of many people, although Lin Han is awesome now, he can't stay for a few years. Even some boring fans and experts are speculating that Lin Han's career will last for several years. Most people think that Lin Han will definitely be ruined after staying in the NBA for more than five years!

Therefore, when the United States listed Lin Han as a candidate for the future king of football today, there were basically not many people responding. In other words, former NBA king of football Larry Bird said some time ago that he admired Lin Han, saying that Lin Han has become a player of the same level as him and the Magician. Although Larry Bird has achieved great success, Larry Bird's recognition alone cannot represent many people.

So, when Lucas made such an evaluation of Lin Han, the reporters below were also a little riot. They were very surprised. Even Jerry Sloan smiled at this time with a surprised expression on his face, and he did not expect Lucas to say that.

But after thinking about it a little more, Jerry Sloan felt relieved because he knew that the guy around him was really envious and jealous, just like he had envious and jealous of the Lakers and the Celtics before. Why are these teams so rich, and the Jazz are just cheating. Except for the three core members of the team, Jeff Malone, Stockton and Karl Malone, the other players are cheating, why are they all cheating? Isn’t it just that they have no money?

He understands Lucas's mentality very well and very well understands it!

"Jerry, the Jazz have won 25 games in a row now. Are you confident that you can keep the winning streak?"

Of course, as the home court of this game, Lucas is the host, and the initial question is naturally polite to him, but as the winning side, the Jazz is the most popular in the focus of the national media, especially when the Jazz wins this season will end. You should know that when the Lakers created 33 consecutive victories, it was an accident. The Lakers themselves did not think that they could create such a record. It was just that after this record was created, just like Chamberlain's 100 points, the record of 33 consecutive victories was considered to be an impossible record to be broken.

Now, it seems that the Jazz really has this strength. Although this team seems to be at the end of their strength now, except for Lin Han, other Jazz players are actually a little tired. However, since they have already won 25 consecutive games, whoever guarantees that other Jazz players will not work hard, at most they will exhaust their energy. Like the Lakers, there is no problem of losing after 33 consecutive games. As long as the Jazz can break the Lakers' winning streak record, basically no one cares how many goals this team will lose after breaking the record.

Moreover, for Jazz players, or for Lin Han and Malone, the biggest benefit of breaking this record is not to keep a name in history. The biggest benefit is the regular season MVP. As long as the Jazz breaks this record, this year's regular season MVP will be the one in Lin Han and Malone's pocket, which is an extremely huge temptation!

Therefore, when facing this question, even Jerry Sloan, who has always been smiling, is not easy to answer at this time. As a coach, his mentality is indeed different from that of the players. If the Jazz loses in this game, everything will be fine. There will be no differences between the players and the coach, but the Jazz still wins in this game. As a player, Malone, Lin Han, Stockton and even Jeff Malone will definitely fight for it, because this can bring a lot of honor and even money to the players. What will the team look like after playing? Anyway, as a coach, he must consider this issue more rationally. For Jerry Sloan, the stability of the team is everything, and this stability includes the stability of the player's condition. There are not many coaches who hope that their team is a team with ups and downs.

Therefore, this question was not easy to return before the Jazz reached an agreement. So Jerry Sloan fell into thinking.

"I can't guarantee what the team will be like now. It's too far and does not meet the team's current needs. For us, as long as we play one game after another, we will strive for victory in every game as usual."

In the end, Jerry Sloan was still conservative when answering this question. How could these reporters at the scene be satisfied with this conservative answer? They were looking forward to Lin Han shouting loudly, we were going to record thirty-three consecutive victories!

This will be in their interests. What just makes this group of reporters very depressed is that after Jerry Sloan answered this question about the team's winning streak, he no longer answered any questions about this. In the end, these guys had no choice but to focus the questions on Lin Han.

After all, in addition to the Jazz's 33 consecutive wins, Lin Han is also their focus. Jerry Sloan has more answers to these questions about Lin Han, so the Jazz coach is still very easy to do.

"In the first half of this game, Lin Han asked Stockton for the ball rights many times in the backcourt. This rarely appeared in the past. May I ask, is this the Jazz's current tactic? Jerry, can you tell us how you solved the ball rights issue between John and Lin Han? Will they have a conflict?"

Although Jerry Sloan was very familiar with answering Lin Han’s questions at this time, he was forced to do so. Lin Han has been the focus of the game this season. Jerry Sloan has returned to various strange questions of Lin Han. However, when the press conference ended, the group of reporters asked about the large increase in Lin Han’s ball rights in this game, which still surprised Jerry Sloan.

He really didn't expect that these guys would have such sharp eyes and would not even let go of details of such a game, or how tight should they be staring at Lin Han?!

Of course, although Lin Han had a game of scrambling the ball with Stockton, although it also came from the Jazz coaching level, at this time, he certainly could not say anything, otherwise it would be a chaos within the Jazz.

"Well, that's right, we do have this arrangement. Lin has excellent ball-holding and offensive ability. Although he can't create opportunities for his teammates yet, his impact is what we need. He and John will become our team's backcourt dual core in the future. In the future, such situations will appear more and more."

"Anything that is good for the team, we will try it. I think John and Lin think so too. They both have extraordinary skills. They are one of the best players in the league, and they are also the most perfect team players."

They are both the most perfect team players. This is the last sentence of Jerry Sloan's press conference. This is not only a comfort to himself, but also a reminder to Lin Han and Stockton. Sloan is not sure what Lin Han and Stockton think at this time. Of course, he hopes that both of them put the team's victory first. Just as others said, Lin Han is now Jordan, the number one Jordan. When Jordan and Stockton are in the same team, the distribution of ball rights will indeed be problematic. If Lin Han is Jordan now, he can still suppress Stockton. It's a pity that Lin Han is not. Lin Han looks at the same level as Stockton and is even slightly worse. In this case, if Lin Han wants to grab the things in Stockton's hands, Stockton cannot be happy.

Just like before Lin Han's rise, he kept grabbing positions on the court from Ma Long, forcing Ma Long and Lin Han to compete with each other. If Ma Long hadn't given up and had Lin Han used his three-pointer and the ability to attack with the ball, these two guys would have made trouble on the court. However, it's hard to say whether Stockton would have given up like Ma Long.

At least, Jerry Sloan hopes Stockton and Lin Han can solve such a problem, or that these two people can calm down. As coaches, Jerry Sloan cannot intervene now, because no matter who he is biased towards, it is wrong, and even if anyone is biased, as long as he intervenes, neither Lin Han nor Stockton will be satisfied.

Although the Jazz have won 25 consecutive games, the entire American sports industry is full of exclamations, and the entire Utah state and Jazz fans in Salt Lake City are as crazy as Christmas every day, for Jerry Sloan, the current life is really not as easy as the outside world imagines.

Fortunately, after defeating the Spurs, the Jazz had a long rest time. Now, because it has entered the Christmas holiday, the most important game in the league is naturally the Christmas battle on December 25. After the Jazz defeated the Spurs, there were no games before Christmas. As for the Christmas battle, it had nothing to do with the Jazz. The Jazz's last time participated in the Christmas battle was in 1988. At that time, the Jazz's opponent was the Lakers. The Lakers team had no passion for the game in that game. It seemed that the Christmas battle affected their vacation. In the end, the young Malone and Stockton led the team to cut melons and vegetables to get the Lakers done.

As for this year, as the sixth in the Western Conference in the regular season last season, he was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. Even if the team has two superstars and not much popularity, it would be strange if the league can like them. So this year's Jazz are the same as usual. The two matches of this year's Christmas are the match between the Suns and the Rockets, as well as the Magic and the Bulls. If Jordan did not retire in a hurry, Lin Han would not rise wildly. This year's Christmas battle is actually very interesting. Jordan's battle is now the most popular center O'Neal in the league, Jordan's first successor, Jordan's successor, Hardaway and O'Neal's new team challenger NBA's king team. As for the Suns and Rockets in the West, Buckley is also the most popular superstar in the West, Buckley vs. the most powerful forward vs. the strongest center, who is the first inside line in the league?

However, with Jordan's departure, the battle between the Bulls and the Magic lacked the biggest highlight. Also with the rise of Lin Han, the number one balloon team in the West is not the Suns, but the Jazz. Now everyone does not want to see Barkley vs. Olajuwon, and now fans really want to see Barkley vs. Lin Han.

It is precisely because of this reason that league president David Stern is really worried now, and he is so worried. This year's Christmas battle is likely to be the worst Christmas battle in recent years. All of this was caused by Jordan and Lin Han. These two players he considers to be the future players of NBA, and now they are cheating on NBA.

......

......

"Brother, are you sure you haven't had any competition these days and will stay at home for us to spend Christmas with us?"

On December 23, 1993, after Lin Han's home, after returning from San Antonio, the Jazz's team had a holiday, and the holiday was on the end of Christmas. This was basically a holiday for all teams who did not participate in the Christmas battle. Even if Jerry Sloan was rigid and had no human nature, if he dared not take a holiday during this period, the Jazz's team would rebel.

So, early this morning, Lin Han posed with his little sister on a Christmas tree. Since he entered the NBA, he has rarely had such a rest time, especially since he became famous, it is even more rare to get such time.

And it is different from previous years, because Lin Han found a promising job this year, and Lin Han's family situation has improved. If it were in the past few years, with Lin Han's family situation, the whole family would rely on his elder sister alone. Although the elder sister would buy gifts for them during Christmas, no matter how you look at Christmas, it would be very ugly.

In the past, the Christmas trees at Lin Han’s house were small items worth dozens of dollars. This year, Lin Han had already customized them. A fully crystal silver-white crystal Christmas tree. There was a five-pointed star made of pure gold at the top of the Christmas tree. Diamonds and gems are also inlaid on the five-pointed star. This Christmas tree alone cost Lin Han more than 100,000 US dollars.

At that time, the stores in Utah custom-made Christmas trees were shocked when they received this order. They could not get this thing, so they could only transfer the order to the main store in Los Angeles to meet Lin Han’s requirements. Although for many rich people, there are millions of Christmas trees, and the Christmas trees are covered with various diamond necklaces or precious jewelry. All guests attending the Christmas party can take these precious accessories after the party, but such rich people are a minority after all. There are even fewer ones. For him, Lin Han is already extremely rare for a small place in Utah.

But now Lin Han doesn't care at all, as long as the little sister likes it, he is happy. Lin Han remembers that when he was a child, he kept clamoring for his parents to ask for a star in the sky. Although his parents always agreed at that time, he picked one for this little guy when he grew up. But he didn't expect that before the little guy grows up, they were gone. Now, although Lin Han can't fulfill his promise for his parents to go to the sky to pick stars for his sister. Even if Lin Han is willing now, he probably will blush and say that he doesn't need it anymore. After all, she is not an ignorant child now.

Since Lin Han couldn't pick the stars in the sky, then I'll customize one. So, when the Christmas tree company delivered the Christmas tree to Lin Han's house last night, Lin Han was still in San Antonio. Lin Han's eldest and second sisters were shocked. They thought this thing was delivered to the wrong place, but only Lin Han cried in tears when she saw the golden stars at the top of the Christmas tree. Perhaps she remembered her childhood words and parents.

Although Lin Han has been in the United States for so many years, Lin Han has never liked to stuff gifts into his socks. After all, my younger sister is 15 years old now and is no longer a child. How could she still believe in things like Santa Claus? So the gift Lin Han gave to her younger sister was placed at home openly. After Christmas is over, Lin Han will give the star at the top of the crystal Christmas tree to her younger sister.

"Well, don't worry, I will definitely spend Christmas this year at home."

Lin Han smiled and said after gently pinching the little girl's beautiful cheek.

From this year on, Lin Han has decided that he would not let his family live the same life as before. In the past, he could only dream in his dreams, hoping that the earlier this day would be better. However, no matter how Lin Han thought about it, he had no confidence or confidence. Now, he actually sat there.

The younger sister knew that Lin Han would have a happy Christmas at home next time, and Lin Han’s eldest sister was also very happy. Even the second sister who had been unhappy with Lin Han seemed very happy at this time. Maybe this was Lin Han’s illusion, but Lin Han now found that his second sister’s personality is becoming more and more similar to Aili, as if they were the attributes called “Arrogant” that Aili once said.

During the Christmas holiday, Lin Han was very happy at home. He could no longer remember when his home was so bright. Perhaps it was when his parents were there and after their parents left, Lin Han's home was dark. Not to mention that Christmas was dark, even during the Spring Festival, although it looked festive, it was also extremely dark.

Lin Han is really enjoying this bright atmosphere now. Sometimes Lin Han even thinks, if it were the eldest sister, the second sister and the younger sister could be with him for the rest of their lives.

However, this seems to be even more difficult to realize in Billingham’s American dream.

.........

.........

Lin Han had a very comfortable Christmas, but in the NBA, some people did not have a good life, such as the Houston Rockets. Because of the Christmas game, the team that won the first 20 consecutive games lost again. This team lost to the Suns, who have been in a winning streak recently, and they were still defeated, 91-111, with 20 points. Obviously, the Rockets still have not recovered from their previous state, and they have not adapted to these teams that have suddenly become stronger.

Moreover, Barkley was indeed crazy in this game, with 38 points and 18 rebounds, directly knocking Olajuwon and Thorpe's inside line. The Rockets' inside line combination can kill Malone, but it seems that it's not that effective when encountering Barkley. Perhaps this is the benefit of having a big butt. Barkley is not afraid of the so-called three centers in this game. Of course, if Barkley just broke through the Rockets' inside line, it would not be possible to win more than 20 points. The key point is that Kevin Johnson, the second leader of the Suns, also exploded. The league's top point guard also scored 36 points and had 9 assists. Kenny Smith was in trouble with fouls all over the game.

In addition to the Rockets' bad mood now and losing a bit miserably recently, the Magic have not been good recently. This team, which was second in the Eastern Conference before, has been extremely sad recently. A while ago, when the Rockets were in a 20-game winning streak, Olajuwon transferred the young O'Neal to the Magic, and the Magic finally lost. A few days ago, the Spurs were visiting the Eastern Conference to play Magic. David Robinson also transferred O'Neal to the [play] and the Magic lost again. In addition, the team had lost to the Knicks, the number one in the Eastern Conference. As the team's leading player, O'Neal was once again played by the three centers.

Although O'Neal has made great progress this year and has come out of the shadow of being blown up by the three centers in the rookie season, this guy is now third in the league in scoring per game, second only to Lin Han and David Robinson. Some people are already calling for the fourth center in the league, and O'Neal himself thinks so. He thinks he is the fourth center in the league.

But now, like last season, after being teamed up by the three centers, even the arrogant O'Neal was so depressed that he was already the fourth center. If he lost to the three centers, O'Neal could still say that he was indeed not as good as them now. But in this Christmas battle, even Pippen led the Bulls who lacked Jordan. They actually lost.

What's even more tricky is that after defeating them, the Bulls improved their record to 17 wins and 8 losses in one fell swoop, surpassing the Magic and ranking second in the Eastern Conference. The Bulls have not lost since 10 wins and 8 losses.

Now in the MVP rankings, Pippen's position has risen to fourth place. He surpassed Ewing, second only to Kalmaron, Lin Han and Olajuwon. Many people in the media have even shouted that as long as the Bulls' record this year is better than last year, or they will win the first place in the Eastern Conference, and the Jazz cannot break the record of 33 consecutive victories, then this year's regular season MVP should be given to Pippen.

This second-yeon Pi who left Jordan was very rare to lead the Bulls to achieve such a record. After all, without Jordan, the Bulls' total salary is the bottom of the league. It is a miracle to be able to lead such a team to second in the Eastern Conference. Although no one knows what the future will be, Pi Erye's performance has now caused many media who hate Jordan to shout that there is no need for Jordan's slogan when appearing in the Bulls and the NBA.

Just as Lin Han was living Christmas, the league is so volatile that it is incomprehensible. The speed of the Bulls in the East and the Suns in the West is amazing. Even though Lin Han was at home with his family at this time, as the most popular player in the league, it is impossible to let these media let Lin Han go.

For example, after the Christmas game ended, when the media interviewed Pi Erye and asked Pi Erye to talk about his views on Lin Han and the outlook for the Bulls and the regular season MVP this year, the Bulls' "boss" who is now in full swing showed disdain for Lin Han.

"Michael has only one, both in the past, present and in the future."

Just when Spurs head coach Lucas said that Lin Han could compare with Jordan Magic and Larry Bird in the future, the Bulls player gave his own answer, Lin Han? He is not qualified at all.

Moreover, Pippen's statement can be said to have been recognized by a large number of players. In the current NBA, old players hate new players very much because of the differences in the treatment of the two sides and the unequal salary. People like Rodman who are going to beat up when they see players younger than him are not a minority in the NBA, and Pippen is definitely the most famous one. The second Bulls leader just signed a long-term contract two years ago. That long-term contract was very awesome at the time, but now it looks like a loss. It is simply a contract for selling his body, and the price of his contract is not as good as that of many rookies in the league. How can he tolerate it?

As a representative figure among rookies, Lin Han is one of his most hated players, or the veterans in the league, and few of them like Lin Han.

When Pippen disdains Lin Han, it’s okay for those veterans Yun Cong to forget it. What Lin Han never expected was that the Timberwolves’ current potential player, Laidel, who was praised as the four small super swinger in the league this year, actually fired a fire on Lin Han publicly.

You know, as a representative figure of this year's rookie, Lin Han is hated by many old players. For this, even Hardaway, who has always disliked Lin Han, often defends Lin Han during interviews. Another player, Marshburn, does not like Lin Han, but he has never put a demerit on Lin Han. It can be said that the current old NBA players and new players are clearly distinguished, and no one looks down on each other. In this case, there are few 'traitors' like Ledel's like this rarely appear.

What does this Timberwolves boy want to do?

Obviously, he was jealous. He was not only jealous of Lin Han, but also jealous of Hardaway and Marshburn. Because in the All-Star Voting not long ago, both Hardaway and Marshburn ranked very high and received a lot of votes. Lin Han even became the vote king. As a super swinger of the four little guys, he was defeated.

This made him extremely angry and jealous, especially for Lin Han, he was even more jealous!

Hardaway is okay. Although his ranking is also very high, anyone with discerning eyes knows that Hardaway has been boycotted. Marshburn is even higher than Hardaway. However, this guy's performance in the Mavericks is not possible to be selected as a substitute unless he can enter the All-Star starter. So after he is jealous of Marshburn, he doesn't care so much, only Lin Han.

If this guy hadn't been in the Jazz, if he had teammates like Malone and Stockton, would he be as popular as he is now?

Even in Leider's opinion, the Timberwolves and Jazz had fought twice before, and Lin Han faced him, and both of them exploded. His data was even better than Lin Han, because his physical fitness was better than Lin Han, and his offense was better with the ball, and even his dunk was better. Lin Han was better than him and only shot.

In Ledel's opinion, if he could be in a team like the Jazz, he would be better than Lin Han. As for Lin Han's so-called future king, the so-called popularity number one and the so-called miracle moment, all of these things are his.

The Timberwolves' thorn has now entered this kind of entanglement. No matter how he sees Lin Han is unhappy, it seems that Lin Han owes him, but he doesn't think about how he can get into the Jazz with Lin Han's ranking and his ranking?

Even without Lin Han, he would not have become popular with his personality.

So after returning to the team at Christmas, Lin Han's answer was very simple when facing the question about Ledel.

"In the past, the competitions were mutually explosive? Well, I think it may be different now."

"Isaiah is looking forward to the game with the Jazz on December 27, and I am also looking forward to the game with the Timberwolves on December 27. Maybe Isaiah will perform differently in this game from the past."

"Isaiah said I was afraid of him? Sorry, we are no longer on the same level now!"

Now we are no longer at the same level, and this is like a bolt from the blue for Laidel, who is clamoring to give Lin Han a good look in the first game after Christmas!

Lin Han dared to say that he was no longer of the same level or level as himself, which made Leidel, who had been defeated by Lin Han in the past two games, completely unacceptable.

"I want to see if we want to be in the same level anymore!"

When Linhan responded to Ledel, the Timberwolves' angry roar could always be heard in the training ground of the Timberwolves and the sound of this guy raging the basket. It seemed that the young Timberwolves' player was already out of anger.

But in Lin Han's heart, he really no longer regards Laidel as his competitor. This is a fact, and he also needs a game to prove this now! (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
