Chapter 14 Lin Han is tasteless?
"It's really a player with outstanding advantages and disadvantages. It seems that the fate of this team is here. Although it unexpectedly reached the final, the gap between the two sides is too obvious."
"Especially, Aaron Williams and Antonio Harvey, two big inside players, met Chris Webber and Rodney Rodgers, who were relatively short, but extremely flexible and aggressive super inside players, which were almost a disaster."
"I heard that in the NCAA United defeated Dream Team last year, the inside combination of Chris Webber and Rodney Rodgers bullied that big ass Barkley, which caused Barkley to be scolded by Jordan after the game. Although these two little guys were not from the same college team before, they cooperated quite well."
"Yes, the inside can't stand it, and the outside is also shaking by the two defenders Alan Houston and Sam Kassel. The Hardaway team is really dangerous now. Although Hardaway can still rely on his own personal offense to maintain the situation, he will be alone without the effective help of Lin Han and Van Eksel."
On June 3, 1993, on the morning of the last day of the Chicago United Rookie Training Camp, the final of the Rookie Confrontation was officially staged between Lin Han's team and Chris Webber's team. This game also made Lin Han feel the pressure of being called a third-rate team in the NBA. After the game, the players who performed very well in the first two games, whether Lin Han or Van Eksel, had no previous chic and calmness.
Especially Lin Han's opponent Alan Houston, the pressure this opponent put on the offensive end was no worse than when facing Ledel in the first game. However, the last time he faced Ledel, Lin Han did not feel much pressure, because in the end, the team's boss Hardaway wiped his butt. In the end, Lin Han didn't care about Ledel's offense at all, but focused all his energy on his offense.
But now, in this game, Hardaway doesn't care about him at all, because at this time, Lin Han's team not only was beaten up in the interior, but needed Hardaway to put out the fire. The two super interiors, Chris Webber and Rodney Rodgers, are not comparable to those of the so-called Vincenbeck. Aaron Williams and Antonio Harvey can't withstand the impact of these two. As for the other Van Eksel, who was very coquettish in the previous game, seems to be suppressed by Sam Kassel.
With Van Eksel's characteristics, as long as he attacks smoothly, he can beat all opponents, but the opponent he faces this time seems to have the same potential as him. Moreover, in the two of them, Lin Han was very surprised that Van Eksel seemed to be losing.
It can be said that from the beginning of this game, Lin Han's team was completely suppressed by Weber's team. Except for Hardaway, he was able to perform normally and even perform exceptionally well, everyone else was not as good as before. As for Lin Han, he spent a lot of energy on defense at this time. Lin Han even doubted that according to the offense and defense rhythm of this game, it was a question whether he could continue to play the whole game recently.
Although Lin Han's turn and back jump shot does not consume physical strength, other aspects are very physically exhausting, especially the sprint back and forth in such a fast-paced game, Lin Han was extremely desperate.
This is the biggest disadvantage that the rhythm of the game is not under the control of his team. In the previous two games, the rhythm of the game has always been under the control of Hardaway. Lin Han did not feel that he had to consume too much, but now it is completely different.
"It's really an angry group, an unhappy opponent."
Holding down his legs that were a little weak, Lin Han faced Alan Houston's close-fitting defense and once again beat Alan Houston. As the game progressed, Lin Han felt that his turn and back jump shot, which had been almost invincible in the past, seemed to be in danger of being blocked by Alan Houston. It seemed that it was not so safe to just turn and back jump shot at the NBA at the LV1 level. Who knows what the NBA's defensive savvy looks like.
"This guy's shooting is indeed very distinctive. His arms are so short and his bounce doesn't look very high, but his backward amplitude has an excellent effect on the air-stalling effect, which is very difficult to block."
Although Lin Han hated his opponent very much at this time, Alan Houston was also very surprised by Lin Han at this time. Although this Asian boy had poor physical fitness and had no right position in defense, he was very distinctive on the offensive end, especially in shooting.
Although Alan Houston has always been a kaleidoscope player, with good ball-holding and shooting offense, his strongest is his shooting ability. In his four years in college, he averaged 22 points per game, shooting percentage reached 46%, and his three-point shooting percentage reached 43%. It can be said that he is one of the strongest pitchers in NCAA. As such an excellent pitcher, his back-turning shooting is naturally impossible to be bad, but in Alan Houston's view.
Even if his back turns and shoots are much worse than Lin Han. At least if he faces an opponent with a close-fitting defense with an arm span of ten centimeters higher than his, it is difficult for him to really have a chance to take action without using fake moves. Even if he forces his move, he may be blocked. However, Lin Han has no such problem at all. According to the rookies now, Lin Han seems to have obtained Jordan's true teachings. This Asian kid should have some relationship with Jordan, and may even be Jordan's disciple.
"Sure enough, is there a huge gap between my mid-range shooting now and Jordan?"
Finally, Alan Houston shook his head helplessly when he looked at Lin Han's back. Last year, they did defeat the Dream Team in the first game during the training camp in the Dream Team, but in the next second game, all of them, including himself, Hardaway, Grant Hill and other geniuses were taught a lesson by Jordan. Therefore, whether it was Hardaway, Hill or himself, their group of shooting guards or small forwards almost all regarded Jordan as their targets, and wanted to defeat Jordan again in the NBA countless times to avenge last year.
Now, although the team has been leading the score, Alan Houston still feels that he has not been able to beat Lin Han in terms of jump shots, although he does make Lin Han very embarrassed.
"It would be great if his physical talent could be better. I don't need him to reach the level of Jordan. As long as he can reach the average level of the NBA, it would be great. Just like Larry Bird back then, although his physical talent was not outstanding, other aspects could be compensated. But this guy is far from comparable to Larry Bird back then."
Jerry West, the godfather of the Lakers who had been watching Lin Han on the sidelines, sighed with regret. Seeing Lin Han's characteristics of jump shots close to Jordan, he really loved talent, but when he thought of Lin Han's desperate 3.9-second three-quarter field sprint run and more than 13 seconds of the game back-to-back run, the godfather of the Lakers was in pain.
It can be said that both Hardaway and Lin Han made him very regretful. One is that he did not have a matching draft position, and the other is that he was a useless and a pity to abandon it. Perhaps at this time, many scouts on the team thought so like Jerry West.
"Haha, yes, he is indeed a useless player."
Jerry Sloan on the side smiled after West finished speaking and said. Although it seemed that Sloan was agreeing with Jerry West, in fact he didn't have such an idea.
Jerry West is now examining Lin Han as the requirements of a team's core player. Lin Han naturally cannot pass the qualification, but Lin Han cannot be the core of a team, but may not be able to become a key player in a team.
For Jerry West, this is a useless player, but for the Jazz, Lin Han is not a useless player.
Although the playing style of a core player like Lin Han will indeed have big problems if it is not a core player of a team, and if it is not done properly, it will become a cancer for a team, but Jerry Sloan is very sure that this guy can survive in the Jazz without eventually becoming a cancer.
At this time, Jerry West and Jerry Sloan on the sidelines were both playing their own calculations in their hearts, and the game on the court was gradually coming to an end. The almost impossible defeat in the end Weber finally defeated Hardaway 90-82. The best player in this game should be Hardaway. He scored 33 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists with full firepower. Lin Han only made 10 of 22 shots in this game, scoring a "poor" 24 points. The worst was Van Eksel. This guy only scored 18 points in this game. It can be said that both Lin Han and Van Eksel failed in this game.
After losing this game, Lin Han and his team also ended this year's rookie joint training trip, and the final best player in the training camp was awarded to Hardaway, the most watched player in the United States.
