Chapter 187 The Big Three of the Legendary Team(1/2)

(I'm a little late to update today, sorry)

NBA All-Stars have always been a show. On this stage, the factor of whether the game is exciting is not the so-called scores of the two teams. If each All-Star game is played casually, no one defends, and insufficient confrontation, even if the two teams scored more than 140 points in each game, I am afraid that fans will not be happy if they watch too many.

Therefore, this year's NBA All-Star Rookie Tournament is only judging from the first quarter, 14 minutes before the first half. Although the scores of both sides are really low, no one on the sidelines thinks this game is not good-looking. Whether it is Lin Han's extremely funny and passing by cheating teammates or the tacit cooperation between the two challengers, Hardaway and Weber, it can be said that both teams have played very high standards. In addition to the fact that Lin Han plays 24 seconds in each attack, which leads to a lack of rounds, the shooting percentages of both sides are actually quite high.

"Originally, we came to the United States from afar this year, just to see how Lin Han scored points. I didn't expect that we could see such a game in the end. It was so interesting. Lin Han's pass was so distinctive. Just like his offense, I swear, there has never been such a point guard in NBA history."

"Hahaha, too, so is me. No wonder Lin Han was with the Jazz, Jerry Sloan and the Jazz didn't let him control the ball. Now it seems that if Lin Han passed the ball like this in the NBA regular season, the Jazz would have played inside."

After Lin Han left the court with the players of the Legends, the players on the court were all five to five. Although the All-Star rookie game was a pioneer, the rules were still the same, with few timeouts and the game was very smooth. The substitutions in the first half of the main game or the first quarter of the rookie game were basically five to five to five.

For the Legends, although they have to start the game, they are not inferior to the Challengers in terms of strength, and even because of Lin Han's unexpected style of playing in this game, they even took the lead in the game, but when the substitutes on both sides came on the bench, the gap came out.

The five players on the Legends are point guard Van Eksel, shooting guard Allen Iverson, small forward is Chaney, power forward is Russell, and center is Rogers. This lineup is simply short in height. Both guards are under 1.85 meters, and all three forwards are under 2.05 meters. There is basically no pure inside line and a pure point guard.

As for the challenger, it is point guard Lynch Hunter, the shooting guard is Carter, the small forward is George Lynch, and the power forward is Raheem center, Bradley, this year's second-tier show. It can be said that all five positions are very formal lineups. The point guard must have a point guard, the inside, and the organization must have a height.

So if the starting lineups of both sides did not transfer too much, all of them were Lin Han's luck. Houston and Mashburn's pitching, but Lin Han's pass was tricky, but he could still control the rhythm. After pressing the rhythm, the opponent didn't play well. However, after both sides came on the bench, the players of the Legends played very fast under the leadership of the two small backcourts, Iverson and Van Eksel, but because there was no advantage in the inside and were even completely suppressed, they could not make any in-flight and could only throw them around on the outside. It was okay for Iverson, because he was a defender and could catch the ball and break two. The other players on the three-point forward could not even touch the ball, and all were Van Eksel's throws on the outside. When they saw this scene, the fans on the sidelines even thought that the cancer attribute could be contagious?

The challenger's style of playing the same as their starting lineup, has not changed much. Everyone performs their own duties. Why do they all play alone after they get to the Legends? This was the case with Lin Han before. Now Van Eksel is even more terrifying. Lin Han still passes the ball, but Van Eksel doesn't even pass the ball.

So when the fans on the side of the court were very happy to guess that the Legend's cancer attribute was contagious, the Legend's head coach Larry Bird on the side of the court was almost mad at this time. As for Garnett, who was cheated by Larry Bird, this genius in the high school basketball industry is now sitting on the bench with his eyes straight and his eyes are blind, which is simply a rhythm that has been played.

He was originally planning to apply to head coach Larry Bird. He didn't want to start with Lin Han in the second half, so he would just play as a substitute. Now seeing Van Eksel's performance, Garnett felt that it was safer to play with Lin Han as a starting player. Although Lin Han's playing style is also annoying, it is much better than Van Eksel's playing style that can be pissed off.

"Why did I come to such a team? Why did I come to such a team?!"

At this time, when watching the two high school players of the challenge team on the court, Carter and Rahim, constantly getting opportunities with the help of their teammates, Garnett really wanted to cry. You know, although the Challengers' lineup is complete, the offensive ability of their substitutes is actually not very good, and most of them are better at defense than attack, so Carter and Rahim, the two high school students, have a lot of opportunities, especially Carter, one of the three dunkers in the high school basketball industry.

However, he can't compare to Ronnie Fields's ability to jump more than 125 cm at the bounce height, but Fields is absolutely incomparable to this point. Of course, it cannot be said that Fields' dunk is not exciting, but everyone's methods are different. At least, when the substitutes of both sides come on the court, facing the Legends, which has no inside lineup without defense, Carter almost directly became the UFO in the air, and Garnett, who was sitting on the sidelines at this time, was probably the most enviable person.

If he knew that the Challengers' substitutes could play so well, he wouldn't be willing to play the starting lineup for the Legends. But no matter how much Garnett regrets it, it would be useless.

"Kevin, don't be frustrated. Although Carter's dunk is great, your rebounding ability is also very good, and you performed very well before."

Looking at Garnett with a frustrated face, Lin Han also delivered a drink in his hand to Garnett's hand and said with a smile. At this time, after being comforted by Lin Han, Garnett found himself even more sad. This super genius was speechless after watching Lin Han. Who caused all this? Also, he is not only good at rebounding, he can also attack, and he can also become the focus of crazy dunks like Carter. But Lin Han did not give him this opportunity at all.

When he thought of this, Garnett almost threw his resentment on the drink in his hand. He covered his head and poured it down in one breath.

"Boss, it seems that our substitute will be blown up very badly in this game."

When Lin Han handed the drink in his hand to Garnett and sat back in his position, Russell looked at the game on the court and said with emotion to Lin Han. When the calmest player on the court was the team's high school defender Iverson, you can see how tricky the Legend's substitutes were under the leadership of Van Eksel.

So after playing for two minutes, Larry Bird simply did not stand on the sidelines and shouted angrily, but sat in his seat angrily. At this time, the legendary Celtic player even missed Lin Han's previous organization of the team. Although Lin Han was cheating, he was not as cheating as Van Eksel.

In this case, after the first half of the game between the two sides, all the points accumulated by the starters were defeated by these substitutes and were still two points behind, 44 to 46. Compared with the slow pace of the starters, the rhythm of the game could be simply flying after these substitutes came on the bench.

Of course, as the captain of this team, although Lin Han had never assumed the core responsibility for the Jazz before. However, Lin Han was still trying hard to play such a role in this game, so after he noticed that Garnett was a little unhappy, he was willing to comfort Garnett. Although Garnett seemed to dislike him, when he saw his teammates were a little depressed, Lin Han still went up to high-fives with these guys.

"It seems that Lin enjoys such a game very much."

“Yes, it looks quite active”

So after the 20-minute game between the two sides, looking at Lin Han who was extremely active on the bench, Malone and Stockton on the commentary were both surprised and interesting.

In the Jazz team, Lin Han had never wanted to show his leadership side. Stockton even repeatedly hoped that Lin Han could take on more responsibilities of the team, but Lin Han refused. Originally, he and Malone thought Lin Han had no interest in leading the team, but now it seems that Lin Han was not interested in leading the team, but was not interested in leading the team at the Jazz.

In fact, for Lin Han, it would be meaningless to lead the team under the Jazz under Malone and Stockton, even if he exercised his leadership, and in the Legends, he was the only captain and the only master.

"According to the two teams' playing style in this game, it is difficult for the Legends to take the lead in the second quarter. Although the personal abilities of the Legends players are not bad, this team lacks overall. The Challenger team has stronger strength and integrity. And they are also treating this game as a real game, and everyone's attention is very focused. This is a very good game."

When watching the players of the two teams leave the stadium and return to the locker room after the first quarter, Collins also said with a smile. Although Lin Han's personal ability may be the strongest on the court at present, it is difficult for Lin Han to defeat the Challengers alone, and Lin Han cannot defeat the Challengers alone. If no one can organize it, it is also difficult for Marshburn, Houston or Van Eksel to defeat the other side by themselves.

"Well, it's true. The Legends lack a point guard who can organize the whole team. They have too many singles. If I were Barkley, I wouldn't give Hughesdo and Marshburn the second half. Maybe they will change their defensive arrangements against Lin Han, and Lin Han needs to prove that he can still lead the team's offense after he can't use this special pass to find a gap for his teammates."

After Collins finished speaking, Stockton nodded. It has to be said that Lin Han's pass is very scammed, but because of Lin Han's special circumstances, the entire team of the Challenger team was facing him in this game. In this case, his cancerous pass and the balls passed can basically find his teammates in the open. This is why Lin Han has 9 assists so far in this game. Now that he knows that Lin Han has such cross-passing ability, if Barkley wants to win the game, he naturally cannot continue to face Lin Han like in the first quarter. There will inevitably be changes on the defensive end. At that time, players of the Legend team will be trapped in a single fight, just like Van Eksell in the second half of the first quarter.

Whether Lin Han can defeat the challenger in a single fight will be an important reason for the final victory or defeat of this game.

As Lin Han's teammate, Stockton was still making suggestions for Lin Han's victory at this time, but for many others, there is actually no suspense in the victory of this game. With the current style of play of the Legends, they can win the Challenger team with a complete lineup? Unless Lin Han can score crazily under the double-team of at least three players under Hardaway's defense, you must know that Lin Han has no Malone among your teammates now. Lin Han can't run without the ball when holding the ball. If Lin Han really runs without the ball, he may not even get the ball because of Stockton's pass.

As long as Lin Han holds the ball and Lin Han wants to attack, the Challengers can double-team at any time without worrying about the so-called double-teaming in advance. Therefore, it is basically impossible for Lin Han to score high in this game.

A Lin Han who has no way to score high scores. A team without any organization. If such a team wants to defeat the Challenger team with NBA playoff strength and go all out? This is basically completely impossible. If Lin Han had not caught the Challenger team off guard in the first quarter, the score difference between the two sides would have been widened long ago.

"How many points do you think the Legends will lose to the Challenger team in this game? I think it is at least ten or more. According to the current situation, there should be no problem with Perry's MVP in the first All-Star Rookie Tournament."

"I think so too. Without Stockton and Malone, Lin Han would not have the responsibility to take on the same team at all. Although his performance with the Rockets before seemed to be good, it was because although there was no Malone in that game, there was Stockton. This game would reveal his true colors in front of the whole world!"

Does Lin Han have the ability to lead the team alone? This topic has been very popular in the United States recently. Many media support Lin Han and more media oppose this view. Most of the meaning is that an outside line without organizational offensive ability cannot become the leader of a team even if he has strong scoring ability.

Of course, Lin Han naturally couldn't know that this group of press conference contempt and doubt whether he could lead the Legends to win. In fact, although the team's current situation is a bit bad, Lin Han is still relatively optimistic. After all, he is the captain, and he also knows that if he is not optimistic, let alone other players.

But no matter how optimistic Lin Han is, the atmosphere in the locker room of the Legends is very solemn, very solemn. Larry Bird almost frowned, and he had no idea how this team should play next. There was really no card in his hand.

Finally, after looking at Lin Han, the legendary Celtics player looked at Iverson and Van Eksel on the side. The head coach of the legendary team gritted his teeth and prepared a new style of play in the second half.

"In the second half, our team's starting player was replaced. Lin, you still serve as the team's point guard position. Allen, you replace Alan to play the shooting guard, and other positions remain unchanged."

After Larry Bird arranged the new lineup and then told Lin Han about his thoughts, Lin Han was almost shocked. Not to mention Lin Han was shocked, even the players of other legendary teams were shocked. After Larry Bird arranged the new tactics, everyone looked at the short high school student Allen Iverson. Even Garnett was a little envious and jealous when he saw this high school student suppressed by his IQ gaining such a tactical position. However, Garnett did not hate him because he knew that Lin Han played point guard, and he could only fight for rebounds in the inside line, and it was impossible to have a tactical position.

"This old guy really dares to play. He really believes in this little guy's current abilities?"

After Larry Bird's tactical arrangement was over, Lin Han also had a little sweaty thought. Although he now knew that Iverson was the 1.83-meter-long player in Aili's mouth who played the purple and golden skill of Butterfly Wearing Flowers, when Iverson and Kobe fought one-on-one, although the skills and strength of these two people were shocked by everyone, at least from Lin Han's perspective, Iverson's skill level is not that high at present, although it is invincible in the high school world. But in the NBA, Iverson will definitely not have such a big advantage now. In this case, Larry Bird chose Iverson between Iverson and Van Eksel. This surprised Lin Han very much.

At this time, Larry Bird, the legend's locker room, was really fighting for the victory of this game. On the other hand, the Challengers' locker room did not have such a solemn atmosphere. Everyone was actually quite relaxed. Although they didn't lead much in the first half, everyone knew that if nothing unexpected happened in this game, their winning rate would be very high.

"In the second half, as long as Lin Han holds the ball, everyone doesn't need to hesitate. Wen, you don't have to pay attention to the high school student's inside line and try his best to attack Lin Han on the outside. With Lin Han's personality, he can't keep sharing the ball like this in the whole game. As for Isaiah and Kukochi, you two can no longer give Hughesdo and Marshburn the shooting opportunities in the first half. Although our main focus is Lin Han's personal offense, we cannot let go of his pass."

"Chris. The responsibility for suppressing the inside is left to you. Although no one in the Legends has a good breakthrough ability, we must be careful that Lin Han can break through the attacks between Anfenny and Wen and suddenly rushed to the basket. Although there is not a big chance, it is not impossible."

Barkley never thought of becoming a head coach, but at this time the Suns superstar had a very coaching momentum. After Barkley made the arrangement, he nodded in agreement. I have to say that at this time, because Lin Han forced this Mr. Barkley to have a very good coaching feeling.

You know, since he got the position of head coach of the All-Star rookie competition from David Stern, in recent times, Barkley has devoted himself to the NBA head coach's course in addition to recovering from injuries. It can be said that he has visited famous coaches all over the world. As long as he contacted them, he has searched them all. Daly and Wilkens are his mentors of Dream Team. Pat Riley and Fill Jackson lost to come to help. Old Nelson is the head coach of this year's World Championships. Barkley promised to participate in this year's World Championships. Even Coach K, who was the assistant coach of the Dream Team, was also looking for it. What is the purpose of it? It is not to find a way to deal with Lin Han.

Judging from the summary of these famous coaches, the most effective way to deal with Lin Han is to find a player with speed, height and strength to stick to him, and then the whole team assists in defense, just like they did in the first quarter before, but no one expected Lin Han to pass the ball. However, although most famous coaches did not expect Lin Han to pass the ball, Pat Riley guessed this special situation after looking at the legendary team's roster. Lin Han is likely to serve as the point guard and may become the main point of holding the ball. According to Lin Han's characteristics, as long as Lin Han takes out an inside line to double-team Lin Han, the players of other legendary teams can break through, but they do not have enough lethality, so Chris Webber or Wen Baker alone in the inside.

Originally, Barkley was planning to let Weber and Hardaway double-team Lin Han, but Weber really couldn't save face. The middle school boy was killed and he was unwilling to double-team Lin Han with Hardaway, so he had to let Wenbaker go. In the first quarter, Barkley was about to start the preliminary plan given to him by Pat Riley, but he had always been worried that Lin Han would not always pass the ball and would always attack, so he kept using five people to face him, not daring to take out two-point wings to stare at Houston and Marshburn. After all, with Lin Han's strength, Barkley recognized that

Even if Wenbeck and Hardaway double-team, this kid may be able to break out sometimes. At that time, one Webber can't stand it. Now he doesn't care about that much. Even if Lin Han can break out, it won't be so frequent. It doesn't matter if Lin Han breaks out once or twice. Since Lin Han has a certain passing ability, Barkley will settle for the second best. He doesn't want to completely lock Lin Han, and he will not make the mistake he used to show off when he was in the duel with Lin Han. At that time, he wanted to completely defeat Lin Han, which led to Lin Han having an opportunity to take advantage of.

"Boy, you don't have any chance this time!"

When he finished all this, Barkley also swears secretly in his heart.

As an All-Star game, fans were able to see a game that almost reached the intensity of the regular season, which made the fans on the scene extremely excited, especially when the two teams appeared again after the second half, the fans on the scene cheered loudly at this time. It can be said that there was no difference between home and away games in this game. As long as the two teams played more excitingly and which player performed better, they would not cherish their applause. Just like the performance of Carter, the high school student, was very exciting at the end of the first half, so they were cheering for the high school student.

After the second half began, when all the starters of the Legends team were on the court, watching Alan Houston being replaced by Larry Bird in the position of the shooting guard and replaced Iverson, a senior high school player from high school, the fans at the scene exclaimed again, the Legends team was really fighting, and two high school players appeared on the court.

Barkley also snorted coldly at this moment. He admired Garnett's strength, but he didn't think Garnett could block Weber, so when he lobbying Garnett, he always hoped Garnett would become the team's small forward rather than a power forward. As for Dinoladia, the European insider, he didn't take it seriously. He could throw it outside. With the personality of European players, they would leave them empty spaces all over the game, and they probably wouldn't dare to keep taking action.

So. After he saw Iverson appear in the starting lineup, the Suns' player knew that Larry Bird was preparing to arrange a sharp knife next to Lin Han. What should I do? According to Pat Riley's meaning, it is to liberate Lin Han's attack. But, similarly, does Iverson have the ability to become a sharp knife? Looking at Ledel standing in front of Iverson, Barkley was a little disdainful. Although Ledel was a dish in front of Lin Han and his single defense ability was not very good, he did not think that a four-small super swinger like Ledel could not even stand Iverson.

"If you want to liberate Lin Han? It's not that simple!"

At this time, Barkley, who had fully understood Larry Bird's intention, felt very happy.

Of course, Barkley is in a very good mood now. The Challenger players on the court are not so happy at this time. They attacked the first wave of ball rights in the second half. Although these players of the Challenger team despise Lin Han's character under the leadership of Barkley, most of the players do not like Lin Han. But it has to be said that Lin Han's defense is indeed excellent, especially when facing Hardaway, it is very uncomfortable to entangle Hardaway. Although Hardaway's performance in this game is still very good, and even Lin Han's lock-type defense failed for the first time in front of him, it can be seen that Hardaway is difficult to get rid of Lin Han every time. In this case, this is also why both sides cannot open the rhythm of the first quarter. Although there is the reason why Lin Han is pressed for 24 seconds, there is also the reason why Hardaway is indeed very difficult to organize an offense every time.

So, after the second half of both sides started, Hardaway found Lydel under a very difficult situation. Lydel directly crushed Iverson under Iverson's defense and broke into the inside. Facing Garnett's assisting defense, the Timberwolves player who participated in the dunk contest this year ignored Garnett's assisting defense. After flying in the air, he leaned directly with his body and leaned on Garnett. Garnett, who originally wanted to block him, could only watch Lydel succeed in dunking.

Although Garnett is talented and Iverson is also talented, the biggest gap between a high school player and an NBA player is the power gap. This attack almost perfectly reflects this gap. This very strong and extremely impactful swinger is not able to block Garnett or Iverson one-on-one, so after this wonderful attack, the fans on the scene cheered again. Although the fans were neutral in this game, Ledel was a Timberwolves player after all, and this is his home court. There are still many Timberwolves fans on the scene.

"Boy, you want to defend me too? Humph!"

After getting off the basket, facing Garnett with a depressed look on his face and Iverson standing at the basket, the Timberwolves super rookie said with disdain. Both of them are high school geniuses, but geniuses are also classified. Although he believes that he can't compare to Lin Han and Hardaway, it is not comparable to Iverson and Garnett. In this game, he not only wants to let the team win, but also wants to compete for the MVP of this game. If Iverson keeps starting and not changing to Houston in this game, he will have a great chance. In his opinion, the Legends' inside line is not defense at all. As long as he crushes Iverson, everything will be very simple.

"Okay. Don't be frustrated, Kevin, your movement is too early. Pay attention to the timing of assisting defense. This is the NBA, not the basketball world for high school students. Every player is not that simple, don't underestimate others."

Looking at Iverson and Garnett who were so angry at this time, Lin Han also said with a smile. After Lin Han finished speaking, Garnett and Iverson nodded, especially Garnett, he really didn't expect it. Lin Han would guide him on how to defend, and he had always been very confident in his defense, so even when he came to NBA, he did not lose such confidence. The time to take off was indeed a little earlier, so that Ledel could hold on in advance. If it was a little later, when Ledel was ready to dunk, even if he wanted to, he wouldn't be able to rely on it anymore. Garnett won not be a humiliation but a block.

Although Garnett doesn't like Lin Han very much now, seeing that he has been treating him coldly, Lin Han has never been angry but has been caring about him. Even if he has a little bad personality, he has not given Lin Han a bad face. After all, he doesn't hit people with a smile.

The Challengers' offense was a little less smooth under the defense led by Lin Han. When Lin Han dribbled the ball into the frontcourt again in the first quarter, the fans all shouted. Hardaway and Vincenbeck all surrounded him. Although they were power forwards at this time, Garnett, who was in the inside, looked very ugly at this time. It was obvious that Barkley didn't take him seriously and actually let Vinbeck, who was against him, go out to attack Lin Han. However, if Barkley knew that Garnett would think Barkley would be very unfair at this time, he did not underestimate Garnett. There was no one in front of Dinoladia at this time, which was considered underestimating. At least there was Weber in front of Garnett.

"It's true, the Legends are in danger now! The Legends are in danger now!"

After Lin Han held the ball and advanced to the top of the arc, the Challengers didn't even think about it and when Lin Han looked around and looked around, Iverson and Marsh themselves had people on the side. At this time, the fans and reporters on the sidelines all exclaimed.

This is the route to strangle Lin Han's offense and pass. If Lin Han continues to pass the ball after 20 seconds like before, it will be a real trick. Marshburn and Iverson will be shooting against the defender's shot, which is too difficult.

But when some fans were worried about Lin Han, and some American reporters were happy about Barkley's arrangement, what everyone on the scene did not expect was that after Lin Han dribbled about 10 seconds, the point guard of the ball was very sticky in the first quarter, and directly leaned behind Wenbeck and Hardaway behind him, pushing the basketball in his hand to the right. At this time, Iverson, who had already prepared to catch the ball, had already pulled it up. After receiving the ball, he quickly took a step back and pulled away from Ledel.

After seeing this scene, Barkley snorted again, because this was something he could have expected.

"Boy, it's impossible to pass by me!"

When Iverson was taking a step back and dribbling under his crotch, facing the 18-year-old high school student, Ledel did not take it seriously at all. He rushed towards Iverson almost like an eagle catching a chick. What everyone on the scene did not expect was that at this time the young defender who looked a little thin almost didn't even give Ledel a close-fitting opportunity. He changed directions in front of the two bodies, and turned around and dribbled Ledel directly.

"This guy hasn't played for more than half a year? Why is his sense of ball still so good?!"

Although all the players of the Challenger team have seen Iverson and Kobe's single-handed challenge, they also know a little bit about Iverson's skills, but in their opinion, even if Iverson can beat Kobe, can Kobe compare with them now? Although Kobe's various technical movements are excellent, especially in terms of offense, I'm afraid many NBA players are not as good as Kobe. However, on the defensive end, although Kobe is excellent, offense requires more spirituality and talent than defense, and defense requires more effort and physicality than offense. In terms of physicality, NBA players are inherently superior, and naturally the same is true in defense.

However, Iverson did not give Ledel a chance to compete with him in his body. Iverson completely used his sense of ball and speed to shake Ledel without leaving any left.

At this time, Larry Bird, who saw this scene, also exclaimed. Although he chose to believe Iverson after watching the one-on-one fight between Iverson and Kobe, he really didn't expect Iverson to do so well.

However, although Iverson broke through Ledel, facing Weber who was already standing at the basket. When the legendary defender saw Garnett pulling the side and asking for the ball crazy, the defender was like Lin Han when he was at the Jazz. Garnett didn't have any birds. He directly killed Weber.

"This kid is not another Lin Han, right? When did the young people in NBA start to imitate that guy?!"

At this time, Iverson, who was looking for the ball to hit Webber, was speechless when Stockton and Malone on the sidelines were speechless.

"Boy. Don't be too arrogant!"
To be continued...
