Chapter 179 Lin Han's new teammate

(Congratulations to book friend Huo Wu Lianxin for becoming the fourth cute master o(n_n)o~~, congratulations to book friend jackiezxw for becoming the leader, and thanks to two book friends Piaohong for supporting o(n_n)o~~)

Drexler and Olajuwon joined forces, and both of the top ten superstars in the league have joined forces at their peak. This kind of thing has not happened in the history of the NBA. For example, the teaming between Barkley and Kevin Johnson last season, if they still want to push forward, for example, the 76ers got the super insider Moses Malone when they had Dr. J. The teaming of these two is even more accurate. If they want to push forward, Chamberlain, Jerry West and others can also be regarded as the team of the top ten superstars in the league.

But it is obvious that even if such things have really happened in the history of NBA, such things actually happen very rarely in NBA. At least for most NBA players, most people will never leave their territory to go to another superstar's territory to make a living without any last resort. After all, at this time, most superstars still value their position in the team. Perhaps money and honor are important, but their position in the team is even more important. If they want to easily give up their position in the team and assist another person, who would do this if they were not forced to help?

Like the Jazz, the three leaders of the team are so harmonious now, not because they are really close, but because neither Lin Han nor Malone compete for the team's leadership with Stockton, and Stockton does not compete with Malone for the right to take action on the court. As for Lin Han and Malone, since Lin Han turned into an offensive kaleidoscope, both Lin Han and Malone will consciously not collide with each other on the court. Everyone has their own territory.

If one day Lin Han felt that his position in the team needed to be improved, and he suppressed his development on the court because of Malone's existence, the Jazz's problem will naturally come.

"Drexler is really forced to do it. It seems that the problems within the Trail Blazers are getting bigger and bigger now, which is a pity."

When he returned to the team's training hall on February 3, all the players of the team were talking about the news this morning. Drexler was on the Houston Rockets. Although the Jazz knew that because the Rockets' outside line was blown up by Lin Han and Kevin Johnson in many games in the previous game, in order to strengthen the team's outside line and to find a player who can suppress the field, if the Rockets still want to pursue something this season, they will definitely attack their own outside line. But no one expected that the Rockets could actually get Drexler.

Although this guy has not been able to adjust his state to the peak due to injury, and this is actually not Drexler's fault. Although the Trail Blazers are really rich, Drexler, the leading player of the team, is under great pressure in terms of performance. Since the team's two finals defeats, many players on the team have lost their fighting spirit under high salaries. Now, the leader who can always maintain his fighting spirit is probably the only one who ranks sixth in the Trail Blazers. In this case, for the team's record and for the face of Paul Allen, he often knows that he is in a physical condition. He has to work hard.

Just like in the previous confrontation with Lin Han, he knew that his old injury had relapsed, but he still tried his best to break out with Lin Han. Although he had thought about leaving the team, if possible, he naturally did not want to lose his position as a team. He also hoped that he could rise again in the Trail Blazers. However, after the confrontation with Lin Han was defeated by Lin Han. After the team's head coach Adelman left, the Trail Blazers had actually collapsed. Drexler naturally knew that it was time for him to leave.

Although he had a great relationship with Olajuwon, he was still a little unwilling to go to the Rockets when he finally chose this time.

"Even if he is too impatient, it is better than staying in the Trail Blazers. If he stays in the Trail Blazers for a few more seasons, he will probably be really useless. The Trail Blazers now have strength, but they are completely a group of black holes. Sometimes it is not a good thing to get too much money."

After Stockton finished speaking, he did not forget to look at the two young players on the side, especially the young man who looked worse than Stockton.

At this time, the person who was stared at by Stockton in the Jazz training hall was naturally not someone else, but came to Utah last night. Former Nets player David Wesley, who has started practicing with the team, signed a three-year, 1 million "big contract" before the transaction. Of course, compared to David Wesley, this is indeed a big contract.

When Stockton stared at this time, David Wesley even felt his legs trembling.

"I, I will definitely work hard in the future."

In the end, the young defender almost trembled and assured Stockton that Lin Han, who had been watching at this time, really wanted to laugh at this time. Of course, he knew what Stockton was doing at this time. This old guy is now establishing his authority. It is really common for him to establish his authority in the NBA.

When Lin Han came to the team, he was both Stockton and Malone established his authority. However, at that time, Lin Han was ignorant, which made Stockton and Malone depressed a lot. However, compared with Lin Han, David Wesley was much more advanced and more sensible. As long as Stockton or Malone had a look, an expression or even a sigh, the new player was nervous and pleased.

Of course, facing David Wesley's assurance, Stocktonne said, and saw it without looking at it. He continued to whisper to Malone, while David Wesley felt relieved.

As a rookie last year, he only found a job with the Nets this year, and it was an unprotected job. This is already very good for David Wesley, who is 1.83 meters tall. In fact, it would be good for him to find a job in the NBA. He had hoped that he would one day become a player like Lin Han in the game between the Nets and the Jazz, but the team's seniors told him that Lin Han was the pride of heaven, and he had already succeeded half as soon as he entered the league. Although he was scolded so badly now, some people wanted to be scolded and disdained to scold him. This is a status that only the pride of heaven can enjoy.

The goal of these people in their entire lives is to stay in the NBA. Since then, David Wesley has never thought about what would happen after he became Lin Han. Although in his dream, he did think about one day entering the NBA All-Star Game, becoming an All-Star player, and then swearing to the cameras of the whole world. The short guy can also succeed.

In his dream, David Wesley can be extremely domineering, but in reality, especially when he learned that the team was going to trade him to the Jazz when he was at the Nets, the young guard was almost frightened. Although the Jazz did not have a powerful head coach like Nets head coach Chuck Daly who scared him, Jerry Sloan was far inferior to Chuck Daly in his opinion, but in his three Jazz players, Malone, Lin Han and Stockton, who doesn't know that they are the NBA superstars. Can the All-Star starters play like the Nets?

And especially when he heard that he was the player Lin Han asked for the name, this player who was considered senior Lin Han was almost shocked.

What kind of player is Lin Han? He was the guy who turned all the players in the second and third positions of their team. In the last game, he made his idol Edwards almost cry after the game. Edwards was also a short man like him, but Edwards succeeded in the NBA, so David Wesley admired his teammate very much as he always regarded him as an idol, but Edwards' strength had almost no power to resist in front of Lin Han.

It can be said that in his heart, Lin Han is a shooting guard at the same level as Jordan, who are all god-level players, and in terms of strength, he can only hope for.

As for personality, who doesn't know that Lin Han is a rebellious tyrant now? There are even rumors that this tyrant often kicks Karl Malone in training. Even Stockton doesn't even take Stockton seriously, and Karl Malone and Stockton are members of the league's famous Dream Team. Even such players are not taken into consideration by Lin Han. He really can't think of any advantage that Lin Han likes. If he has the chance, he really wants to say to Lin Han, "Boss, where did I attract you? Am I not good enough?"

Therefore, when he set out from the Nets to Utah, the Nets guard really came with the determination to "deadly die". Although he didn't have long been in the NBA, he also knew that many super players had some bad habits, such as Jordan likes to bully young people. In his opinion, Lin Han is a person with special problems, and he can only hope not to be bullied by Lin Han too much.

But what made him very depressed was that when he came to the team, in order to avoid Lin Han, the team went to hug Malone and Stockton's thighs as soon as he came, hoping to escape Lin Han's magic grab. But what he never expected was that after he fell under Stockton's sect, Stockton was really adjusting [teach him]

After choosing to follow Lin Han, PJ Brown, who had a silly look, has now become a gang of young people like Lin Han and others.

And he is now serving veterans such as Stockton. Such treatment and gaps make the Jazz's new player cry out in aggrieved manner.

It is not said that Lin Han is a tyrant, a dictator, and a person with a perverted hobby? Why does Stockton seem to be such a person now? Why is this so?

If Lin Han heard the voice of his new teammate at this time, he would definitely laugh out loud.

Lin Han was very satisfied with the two new teammates of the team. After the joint training in the morning, Lin Han could also see the characteristics of these two people. David Wesley, like the one he recommended to the team, is a small defender with good skills and comprehensive skills. He is very good at dribbling and controlling the ball and even plays the team's organizational guard. In addition, his offensive methods are also good. If he was not too short, many people would subconsciously not trust him, he would probably not be so difficult with his technical ability. However, one of the biggest problems of this guy is that he is too timid or too cautious. When he was in the joint training, Lin Han originally wanted to say hello to him. This guy actually nodded to him like a rabbit and ran away.

Moreover, this kid is not only a bit timid in character that makes Lin Han speechless, but also very timid in Qiu Feng. He is too cautious in the game and is always afraid of making mistakes. No matter how strong his personality is, it is probably difficult to stand out. It is not only difficult for the Nets, but also the Jazz. After all, the Jazz wants a bandit, not a mediocre player who does not make mistakes.

However, this guy is just a matchmaker, and didn’t Ally say before that some bronze legendary players can become legends not because of their strength and honor, but because of their specialty. Perhaps David Wesley is also a special player.

And even if David Wesley really failed, with Lin Han's status in the team, the Jazz would not have any objection to him.

If David Wesley let the Jazz down a little after the joint training this morning, PJ Brown was definitely a huge surprise, because although this inside line is young, the inside defense is extremely solid. And it is not a soft boy. For the current NBA, the ability of an inside defensive player can be said to be another matter. But it cannot be a soft boy. Moreover, after this guy got into Europe and returned to the United States, the movements in the game cannot be said to be dirty, but they can only be said to be "very high in ball quotient". In fact, this guy is indeed very talented in defense. Although he has been a little thinner, he is hardworking and working hard, and has extremely solid basic skills. There is absolutely no problem with starting at the Jazz.

And in terms of personality, he is much more mature than David Wesley. After all, this guy is only 24 years old. His eldest daughter is four years old, and his wife is pregnant again.

Overall, the Jazz's transaction is actually quite good from the two chips they have obtained at present, and more importantly, the two most important chips the Jazz gets are not these two young players, but two All-Star and Quasi-All-Star from the Pistons.

However, as expected, the two Pistons players should have reported to the team today, but something very important happened in the middle that neither the Jazz Nets nor the Pistons' three teams announced the deal officially.

According to the explanation of the team's head coach Jerry Sloan, Elliot's physical examination showed some problems during the trading physical examination. Although the Jazz finally agreed to the transaction and did not cancel the transaction, for the sake of Elliot's future and the team's future, the team's general manager is now taking Elliot to conduct a comprehensive assessment of Elliot at the Massachusetts Hospital in Boston.

Generally speaking, it is very common for NBA to deal with injuries. In NBA, half of the players are physically injured. There is no way, the intensity of the game is too high. Even Lin Han strictly speaking, if it is not for systematic recovery after each game, he will basically have back pain at the end of each game. Some ball rights, such as Drexler, have many injuries in the ankle, knee, etc., but it is common to go on the game with injuries.

According to the values ​​of many NBA players and the values ​​of fans, this is a tough guy. As long as the player is not the kind of injury that cannot play, it is no big deal to go with injuries, so the deal with injuries is naturally not a big deal. As long as the teams on both sides have no opinions, it is just obvious that Elliott's injury this time will definitely not be that simple, and it is very likely to affect the player's career. This makes this deal that has been confirmed but has not been announced for a long time.

Of course, Lin Han didn't know what injury Elliot was at this time, and other players of the team didn't know, because the team's head coach Jerry Sloan didn't say anything at all.

So now all the team can do is wait.

Moreover, after the game against the Bulls, the Jazz had only three remaining opponents before the All-Star. The Trail Blazers were originally a strong team, but now that the team lost Drexler, although the team is still very strong, it is no longer so powerful for the Jazz.

On February 4, 1994, the Jazz played against the Trail Blazers who lacked Drexler at home. If Drexler had not been traded in this game, it would have been a very anticipated game, because after Lin Han determined his position as the No. 1 shooting guard in the Western Conference, Drexler was not so willing. Although the Trail Blazers' player has been on the court with injuries. He will not use all his strength in one game for more than one quarter, but it is only one quarter. The Trail Blazers' player also made Lin Han embarrassed at the beginning.

In this case, many people want to see what kind of scene will be like after Lin Han faces Drexler again.

However, the final result was that Drexler actually left the Trail Blazers before the start of this game, and Thomp, the Rockets' insider who was traded, did not report to the team at this time. In this case, a team like the Trail Blazers that lacked the core of the company is not the Jazz's opponent at all.

And what is even more difficult for the Trail Blazers is that after the former head coach Adelman left, the team owner Paul Allen quickly moved from the most promising coach at NCAA who was only 44 years old. The head coach of Sidon Hall University PJ Calesimo invited the team. The coach who brought a team like Sidon Hall to the 1989 NCAA final is one of the most promising head coaches in the American basketball world. After all, as a coach, the age of 44 is indeed considered young, and such a young coach is already quite terrifying in his resume.

Because he was born in a family of head coaches, this guy started coaching the NCAA team when he graduated from college at the age of 22. Moreover, this guy not only has a family background, but also is a talent. He is not only an assistant coach of the old coach K, who led the US team to participate in the 1990 World Championships, but also an assistant coach of the Mengyi team. You should know that in the coaching industry in the United States, being able to lead the US team to become the assistant coach of the team basically means being the successor of the American basketball world. For example, Chuck Daley chose Wilkens as the head coach of the Dream1 team, so as long as nothing unexpected happens, Wilkens will definitely be the head coach of the Dream3 team.

Of course, after such a coach with a reputation in NCAA was poached by Paul Allen, he did not play well or badly during this period of time.

Although Adelman is not liked by the media or the team owners now, most of these Trail Blazers players were brought up by him. After all, Adelman was not only the team's head coach but also the team's assistant coach. In this case, Adelman's departure was almost one of the fuses for Drexler to seek a deal. Not only Drexler was disappointed. Other players on the team were also disappointed. In this case, it would take some time for Carlesimo to integrate the Trail Blazers.

When will the Trail Blazers be able to integrate well, at least. It is very difficult now, so the game between the Jazz and the Trail Blazers was originally expected by everyone before the game, but in the end, the game almost became a unilateral massacre of the Jazz.

In the last two games, the Jazz suffered two consecutive home losses, and their record reached 40 wins and 5 losses. This actually puts some pressure on the Jazz. Although the fans did not care, the media also focused on Drexler's affairs for the time being ignored. But soon, as long as the Jazz could not win, then when Drexler's influence was lost, Lin Han and the Jazz would be under great pressure.

In this case, facing the Trail Blazers now is a good chance to win.

Therefore, in this game, whether it is Lin Han, Stockton or Malone, they played extremely aggressively, especially Lin Han. In the first two games, whether it is against the Rockets or the Bulls, the Jazz's shooting guard was really suffocated. The two opponents Olajuwon and Pippen are really too difficult to deal with. Now facing the Trail Blazers, a Trail Blazers who no longer have Drexler, Lin Han almost plays whatever he wants.

Just after the half-time game, the Jazz had already led 21 points at home 67 to 46. At this time, the Trail Blazers boss Paul Allen, who came to watch the game away in this game, even left angrily after the half-time game. Obviously, he is very dissatisfied with the performance of this team now.

Especially under the smile of Jazz boss Miller, the richest man in the NBA is really unhappy. Isn’t this Hongguoguo let him be slapped in the face in front of Miller? He spent so much money on this team and ended up getting such a result, even worse than before the team. How can this satisfy him?

But even if Paul Allen was not satisfied, the Trail Blazers, who lacked fighting spirit, could not compete with the Jazz. When the game ended, the Jazz defeated the Trail Blazers 128-97. Jerry Sloan on the sidelines finally smiled.

He didn't laugh because the team beat the Trail Blazers, nor did he laugh because Lin Han scored 41 points in 16 of 27 in three quarters, but the Jazz have finally adjusted their form now!

"Jerry. It seems that we don't have to worry about any problems facing those crazy sprinting teams after the All-Star team."

After the game, Jazz assistant coach Fier Johnson even refused to hide his mood at this time than Jerry Sloan.

After defeating the Trail Blazers at home, the Jazz finally won the victory after two consecutive losses. What made the team even more happy was that the two new teammates of the Jazz, Elliott and Polynis, who had been dragging for four or five days, finally came to the team to meet Lin Han and the others after the game between the Trail Blazers and Jazz.

After the game, the two former Pistons players were waiting for them directly in the team's locker room.

Elliott is a gentle and looks a little thin, but he is slightly taller than Lin Han.

Another inside center Polynis, this guy looks a bit opposite to Elliott, and this guy looks quite fierce. Although he looks a little thin, the wide muscles on his shoulders still allow him to tell everyone clearly that he is a player with strong strength.

For the Jazz, whether it is Elliott or Polynis, these two are different from PJ Brown or David Wesley. These two are veterans who have worked in the NBA for many years. Although changing teams cannot be said to be commonplace for them, it is also a very normal thing.

Therefore, the two of them were in a normal mood when they came to the team, especially Polynis. The former Bulls selected the player has always been considered a laughing stock player by the league. Why is it a laughing stock player? Because after the Supersonics chose Pippen in the fifth pick in 1987, the player who traded Pippen to the Bulls was Polynis. Pippen and he were both rookies in 1987. After the Supersonics replaced Pippen, there was no need to say about Pippen's achievements in the Bulls. It can be said that the two major jokes in the NBA are that the Trail Blazers missed Jordan, the Supersonics missed Pippen, and the Trail Blazers missed Jordan. Fans pointed their finger at Sam Poway, the No. 2 pick in 1984, and the Supersonics lost Pippen, so everyone naturally pointed their finger at Polynis.

In fact, he can't blame him for being the jokester of the NBA. As an inside player of the No. 8 pick, he did perform badly in the first seven years of his career, but that was because he had never gained the trust of the Supersonics. Supersonic fans were making fun of him with Pippen, and the team was not very good to him. In this case, the team used to have many superstar inside players, such as Chambers, the Jazz veteran, who was the All-Star inside player of the Supersonics back then, and Polynis was the substitute for him. In this case, it was naturally impossible for Polynis to stand out.

After leaving the Supersonics, he truly regained his potential back then. As a No. 8 pick, averaged 13 points and 12 rebounds per game this season with the Pistons, which is actually worthy of his pick.

The special relationship between him and Pippen is probably why the Jazz are willing to give him a big contract but are not worried about whether he will work hard after receiving the big contract. After all, he is a player with pursuit, and he also wants to prove that it was a mistake for those fans to regard him as a laughing stock. He is a player who is no worse than Pippen.

What is the biggest difference between Pippen and him? Isn’t it just that there are more NBA champions? He used to have no chance at Pistons, but now after he comes to the Jazz, he will definitely not stop fighting.

Therefore, the Pistons' former center was more excited compared to Elliott at this time, and other Jazz players could also see it.

"Maybe we really made a profit this time, maybe it might not be necessary."

So after meeting these two important new players of the team, Stockton also muttered to himself, and Malone and Lin Han on Stockton also nodded.

If Polynis can maintain such fighting spirit, Elliott will not have many physical problems, and PJ Brown's unexpected maturity, the Jazz will definitely have great events this season!

After the Jazz's game against the Trail Blazers, the team finally got intact. The next day, when the Jazz, Nets and Pistons announced this tripartite deal, it once again caused a sensation in the American public opinion, and it was not even less sensation than when Drexler went to the Rockets.

Because everyone knows that the Rockets strengthened the outside and the Jazz strengthened the inside, these two teams have really done it from this moment on!

On this day, Lin Han was elected as the rookie of the month three times in a row, and once again received a bronze milestone reward. (To be continued)
