Chapter 214 Abnormal Malone

(Some book friends hope that the fisherman can write more about Lin Han's interactions in life or female roles. The fisherman will try it. Please forgive me if I don't write it well. However, as the fisherman said before, the main body of this book is still basketball, and this will not change. Yes, that's it o(n_n)o~~)

Since March, the Jazz have been on their own road trip, for 10 days. Although the intensity of the game is not high, only 10 days and 6 games, basically every game is 2 days, even if the intensity of the game is not high, the distance trip for 10 days is still not very adaptable.

What makes the Jazz players even more speechless is that they have been wandering around Los Angeles in Texas for the past 10 days. The weather in these places is really completely different from that in Utah. Whether it is Texas or Los Angeles, it has entered spring at this time. Now Salt Lake City is still in winter, the lowest temperature at night is still below 0 degrees, and the highest temperature during the day is difficult to reach 10 degrees.

So when the team returned to Salt Lake City, although they returned to their home court, these Jazz players were not very adaptable. For example, several young players on the team, such as David Wesley and Aaron Williams, all caught a cold. Although after returning to home court, the Jazz's next game will not be played on March 14, and their opponents are also weak Timberwolves, the recent situations that have continued to appear in the team still make Jazz's head coach Jerry Sloan more depressed.

Of course, although Jerry Sloan is quite depressed, the other Jazz players are very relaxed at this time. The team will have a long rest time after a long away trip. The team will only play the Timberwolves on the 14th and the Lakers on the 16th. After these two home games, the Jazz will usher in a long away trip to the Eastern Conference, but that will be after the 18th. For NBA players, there will be a long time in the game one week later.

However, although the Jazz players have a very good rest time now, for Lin Han, he has been very busy in recent days. This is not because he is busy with the NBA games, but after the Utah Jazz returned to Salt Lake City, the head coach of the Utah basketball team, Majors, directly came to Jerry Sloan, hoping to borrow a few young players to serve as sparring players for the Utah basketball team and play two practice games with them. Because the Jazz's schedule has been very easy in recent times, and generally speaking, although the NCAA and the NBA league are opposite, this does not mean that the NBA team and the NCAA team in a state will be in opposition. On the contrary, many times, two teams in a state are likely to have a good relationship.

Majors and Jerry Sloan have a very good relationship. The Jazz and the Utah University team also communicated frequently. The two of them visited Ma Jian from Utah Valley Community College together in the offseason last season, and Lin Han was also in that team at that time. However, neither of them just fell in love with Lin Han at that time. If they hadn't known that Ma Jian had been booked by Majors, Jerry Sloan would have snatched the guys long ago.

Now that time is March, NBA teams are preparing to sprint for the final ranking and playoffs. For NCAA's college teams, March crazy is also coming. Utah now needs to work hard for the knockout round of the National Championship. In Utah, the Jazz teams are probably the only teams that can give them sparring effects. Although they can also play friendly games with other NCAA league teams, for some reason, Utah is very xenophobic. Last season, the University of Utah would rather warm up for third-rate teams like Utah Valley Community College that can't even play in the second-tier NCAA than go to regular NCAA teams.

Of course, for Lin Han, with his status, even if Jerry Sloan asked him to practice with those college students, Lin Han could completely refuse as long as he was unwilling. It was obvious that Lin Han could not refuse the invitation from the University of Utah. After all, the starting power forward of this team was Ma Jian. His former boss, perhaps the biggest help to him at the University of Utah's, the starting forward of the University of Utah, may have helped him the most. Without him, Lin Han is still working at McDonald's. With Lin Han's character of repaying kindness and revenge, he would not be able to do the kind of thing that would look down on those low-level friends after becoming famous.

Moreover, it seems the same in Lin Han’s opinion whether it is at the University of Utah or the Jazz. Lin Han doesn’t need to do those complicated tactical exercises anyway. He just needs to change his own single fights to another place.

"Kobayashi, you kid is really too abnormal. If you had the strength at Utah Valley Community College before, I wouldn't dare let you be a translator for me."

On March 11, 1994, in the University of Utah Basketball Training Hall in Salt Lake City, the two yellow people in the training hall were very eyeing. After the training, almost all the University of Utah basketball players kept watching the two sitting on the side of the court, talking and laughing.

It can be seen that the focus of the entire training hall is these two. Of course, in fact, it is just the one who looks a little more handsome.

"Brother Ma, if I hadn't been used as an interpreter for you, I wouldn't have taken this path."

Looking at Ma Jian with a melancholy smile on his face, Lin Han also said sincerely, and after Lin Han finished speaking, Ma Jian shook his head with a bitter smile.

"I didn't help you. This is all your talent. I didn't believe that players like you can appear in the basketball world. At that time, many people said that Olajuwang was so talented that he could become the No. 1 pick in the NBA after just playing basketball for a few years, and became the NBA superstar. I originally thought that these were exaggerations. It was not until after seeing you that I realized that you guys are all a group of geniuses, not something that mortal thinking like us can understand."

After saying that, Ma Jian also sighed. As one of the most talented young players in the Celestial Empire, this all-round forward who can be three or four has always been very proud, but after Lin Han's incident and training at the University of Utah for a year, his pride has been completely smoothed out.

You know, he chose to fall out with the Celestial Basketball Association before and came to the United States at his own expense. It was not because he had an IQ problem, and he was inappropriate to the national player and came to the United States to suffer, but because he was really confident in his ability. He thought that he would definitely be able to enter the NBA, but after a year of NCAA career, his thoughts made him feel very naive.

Although he was the starter at the University of Utah, the team's performance was very good and his data was also very good. Because of Lin Han, the team knew that he was Lin Han's teammate before. So the team's bosses did not bully him as a newcomer. The head coach of the team, Majors, who originally valued him a deeper reputation for this talented player from the Celestial Empire because of Lin Han. Even though this guy was not good at English, he gave him the main position of the team. This data is quite good. Although the Xishan League belonging to the University of Utah is not a top league like the ACC League, but just a mid-level league, a Celestial Empire can be selected as the first team of the best new team in a mid-level league and the second team of the best team. Such achievements are already very good.

But it is obvious. If he is the best new first team player and the best second team player in the ACC League, then he will definitely enter the NBA, but it is very difficult in the Xishan League, so recently, this former boss of Lin Han has been quite confused.

Especially recently, he knew that the team was in contact with the super talented high school student Van Horn. Next season, he might play a substitute for Van Horn, a player who is also capable of three or four and his style, so he only has two choices this season. He either directly participates in the draft after the freshman year, or stays in the team or accepts the fate of a substitute. Although he is 24 years old this year, a freshman player participating in the NBA draft is a fantasy. There are not many freshman players in the league now participating in the draft. After all, the current American talented players have not yet regarded the NCAA as a springboard, and the league does not stipulate that high school students cannot participate in the draft. Therefore, the super genius who can participate in the draft after freshman year either enters the league directly after graduating from high school or enters the NBA after NCAA's success. Even a super genius like Jerry Starkhouse will not be able to draft in the draft in the freshman year.

So recently, Ma Jian has been looking for help from Lin Han, but it is obvious that he really can't say it. Although he knows that if he can get Lin Han's help, not to mention entering NBA, there will be no problem even if he gets a stable contract.

However, he really regarded Lin Han as a friend, and Lin Han was indeed his best friend since he came to the United States. He really didn't want Lin Han to look down on him. In this case, he really didn't dare to ask Lin Han to help him without being at a loss.

Of course, Ma Jian was a little depressed at this time, but he was well concealed, and Lin Han couldn't tell much. Lin Han even thought that this Ma Ge was a very open-minded person.

"Kobayashi, are you going back together?"

When Lin Han and Ma Jian finished training and returned to the locker room to take a shower, Ma Jian also said with a smile, but Lin Han refused with a smile.

He wouldn't go back with Ma Jian. After all, his second sister probably was waiting for him at this time, so after Lin Han refused, Ma Jian was stunned at first, but he soon understood that he also knew that Lin Han had an older sister in the University of Utah.

So after he and Lin Han walked out of the team training hall, Ma Jian went out of the school and went back to his apartment. He did not live in the on-campus dormitory provided by the school. Ma Jian is considered an international student and lives in an American family designated by the University of Utah.

After Lin Han broke up with Ma Jian, he went directly to the business school of the University of Utah to find his second sister.

The University of Utah is a school with a comprehensive ranking of more than 100 in the United States. It is not a super famous school, but the school's physiological medicine schools and business schools are still very famous, especially some majors in physiological medicine schools can even rank in the top 20 in the United States, and business schools are also the top 60 business schools in the United States.

If Lin Han could get into college, he would now be like his second sister. He would be a sophomore, but in the end he has become an NBA player.

Although Lin Han’s studies are poor, anyone will have a college dream when they are young. Especially for children from Chinese families, Lin Han is also a little moved when walking on the campus of Utah University under the Rocky Mountain.

After the training at the University of Utah was over, the students of the University of Utah also got off school, but because the weather in Salt Lake City is still quite cold, the pedestrians were wearing thick clothes. People like Lin Han who had just finished training and were just wearing thin sweatshirts naturally became the focus soon.

When many college students around him looked at Lin Han and found that this young man was the hottest Jazz player in Utah in recent times, a riot soon occurred on the campus of the University of Utah. After this riot, Lin Han subconsciously cried out in a secretly bad mood, and then quickly broke out of the siege. He didn't want to be surrounded by these crazy college students now.

Although he doesn't have a good relationship with his second sister Lin Wei, as Lin Wei's younger brother, Lin Han is not the first time to come to the University of Utah, nor is he from the business school. He is actually quite familiar with the environment here.

When he found Lin Wei and told him the classroom, the classroom was already empty at this time.

"Why are you here so late?"

After seeing Lin Han appear, Lin Wei glared at Lin Han with some dissatisfaction, but Lin Han, who is very familiar with his second sister, could tell that his second sister was not angry, so Lin Han also touched the back of his head awkwardly and showed a hint of apology. He had indeed chatted with Ma Jian for a long time before, which had been delayed for some time.

After Lin Wei sorted out her schoolbag, the two left the classroom.

"Please help me pick up the car."

After the two walked out of the classroom, Lin Wei threw the bag in her hand to Lin Han who was a little uncomfortable at this time. Since high school, he has rarely gone home with his second sister from school, so Lin Han's thoughts have been a little erratic at this time, and he has been thinking about the past of the two. However, for Lin Han, his thoughts are a little erratic at this time, but for Lin Wei, she is very angry because Lin Han looks reluctant.

So she was very angry and smashed the schoolbag in Lin Han's arms, but at this time, Lin Han was woken up and showed apologies again, especially after looking at Lin Wei's angry back.

The car that Lin Wei mentioned is not a four-wheeled sports car. In Lin Han's current family situation, the four-wheeled car had long been sold, and Lin Wei got a bicycle.

“I haven’t been riding a bicycle home for a long time.”

When Lin Wei took the bicycle, Lin Han almost subconsciously stepped on it and put the backpack in the small frame in front of the car. Lin Wei also sat in the back seat very familiarly.

Although it is common sense to say that bicycles cannot carry people, I am afraid that not many people will abide by this common sense, both in the Celestial Empire and in the United States. This was the case when Lin Han and Lin Wei were in high school. Lin Han sat in front and Lin Wei sat in back.

"Lin Wei, are you heavy again?"

However, because I haven't ridden a bicycle to carry people for a long time, when Lin Han started to step on it, the front of the car was shaking. Lin Wei, who was sitting behind her back, hurriedly hugged Lin Han.

"Hmph, you're fat yourself, okay?"

After hugging Lin Han, Lin Wei, whose face was flushed at this time, said angrily. Although Lin Wei held Lin Han a lot when riding a bike home together, it was after all, and both of them were children. Now, both of them are already 20 years old adults, so Lin Wei's face was very rosy and tempting at this time.

However, after hugging Lin Han, Lin Wei had no intention of letting go, and after the car was stable, Lin Wei even leaned against Lin Han again.

At this time, Lin Han was not angry after seeing his second sister joking, which surprised him. If Lin Han had believed in the past, his second sister would never have been as simple as just complaining.

What surprised Lin Han even more was that Lin Wei hugged him tighter and tighter with his hands around his waist. Although Lin Wei and Lin Han were not wearing thin clothes, Lin Han still felt the very soft touch coming from behind.

When he thought of this, the bicycle that had already stabilized swings again. As the car swings, Lin Wei's body against Lin Han became tighter and tighter, and Lin Han's mood changed. He had some less healthy impulses towards Lin Wei.

However, although Lin Han's impulse became stronger and stronger at this time, and Lin Wei's face became stronger and stronger, neither of the two boys nor girls wanted to separate, nor did they say anything, as if they were silently enjoying the feeling of being close together.

Although Lin Han’s home is not very close to the University of Utah, it is not very far away. After all, Salt Lake City is not a big place, with only 200,000 people in the entire urban area. If you ride a bicycle fast, you will probably be able to get home in half an hour, but for some reason, Lin Han rode his bike very slowly this time.

However, no matter how slow Lin Han rides, there will always be times when he gets home. After more than an hour, when Lin Han and Lin Wei returned to the downstairs of their apartment, Lin Han and Lin Wei both woke up from that obsession, and after they parked the car, they both blushed and embarrassed to look at each other.

"I, I'll go upstairs first. It's already very late, so everyone may be worried."

Just when Lin Han didn't know how to break the embarrassment between the two, Lin Wei took out her schoolbag and ran away quickly. Lin Han sighed as he looked at Lin Wei's back.

He had never thought that there would be anything between him and Lin Wei before, nor did he think that he would like Lin Wei. He had never thought that Lin Wei would like him, but some things seemed not as simple as it seemed.

“Is it really because I’ve been too thirsty in recent times?”

However, although he knew his feelings at this time, Lin Han was still a little reluctant to believe it.

"It seems that my sister is right. I'm already at the age to fall in love."

When Lin Han thought of this, he nodded secretly.

Of course, although Lin Han realized that he was at the age of finding a partner, he did not like to go to nightclubs. In addition to a group of big men, the woman he contacted most every day was Aili. Although Lin Han felt that the relationship between him and Aili seemed to be very close, it was not that level yet. And even at that level, Aili seemed to be just a 14 or 15-year-old girl. Lin Han really couldn't do it. After all, he was not Ma Long. Ma Long, who was hungry, could even take action even as a 12-year-old girl Liang. In addition to Aili, of course, it was the eldest sister and the second sister. The eldest sister Lin Han was an undesecrated existence in Lin Han's heart. Looking at it, Lin Han found that if he wanted to find a partner in a short time, it seemed that he could only find Lin Wei.

This also made Lin Han speechless. After all, the two of them were mortal enemies before. Although he now found that Lin Wei didn't hate him so much, who knows what would happen.

So at this time, after a little bit of emotion, Lin Han also focused his energy on the Jazz game again. After practicing with the Utah University basketball team for two days, Lin Han returned to the Jazz team. When Lin Han returned to the Jazz team, the team also underwent a little new change.

"How could this be? That guy Carl's face is not that good? Isn't this kid going to make trouble again, right?"

When Lin Han returned to the Jazz on March 13, he obviously found that the atmosphere of the team was a little wrong. Malone, who always liked to play with him in training, was rarely serious at this time, and his face was very serious. The team's leader Stockton also had little smile on his face at this time.

This surprised Lin Han. You know, after Ma Long increased his offense in recent times, Lin Han was very happy. The team's record was also very good. Why did it suddenly become like this?

"We don't know why, in short, coach Sloan called Carl to his office yesterday. The two seemed to have been talking for more than two hours. After Carl came out, he looked like he was not close to someone else."

Faced with Lin Han's doubts, Elliott also said helplessly that although the Jazz is a championship-level team, there are indeed many problems in this team, especially for newcomers like him, some problems are very fatal.

Of course, Malone is in a bad mood now, as if she was stimulated by Sloan. However, in the home game against the Timberwolves on March 14, the Jazz did not allow people to see anything different about this team during the game.

It is still powerful, so that the Timberwolves have almost no resistance, or the Timberwolves have never thought about resisting, and the team is now heading for draft picks.

In this case, in this Jazz's home game, the Jazz scored the game into garbage time in just three quarters, and the final score of this game was 126 to 95. Lin Han scored 42 points in three quarters with 15 of 26 shots. It can be said that he was the Jazz's best performer in this game. After all, the opponents in this game were the Timberwolves and Ledel. Lin Han never held back against Ledel.

But what surprised Lin Han was that Malone, who had a very fierce attack in recent times, only made 16 attempts in this game, and scored 27 points in 10 of 16 shots. Although this is already a very high score, compared with the previous games, Malone obviously kept playing on the offensive end again.

Originally, after Lin Han was playing in this game, the Jazz player would also play in the next game with the Lakers, but what Lin Han never expected was that when facing the Lakers, the Jazz player who did not exert force in the last game against the Timberwolves actually exerted force again, and the desire to attack was stronger than the previous games. Lin Han's friend, this year's Lakers rookie Antonio Harvey, almost cried by Malone in this game.

When the Jazz defeated the Lakers 119-101, when Malone made a total of 29 shots and 17 shots and scored 44 points in the game, Lin Han was speechless again.

"Who is this kid angry with? Why is he like a child?"

After the game, Lin Han was a little confused when he looked at Malone who was as angry as a child. When he paid attention to the team's head coach Jerry Sloan, he found that Jerry Sloan did not have much change in expression and became even more confused.

It’s abnormal, it’s really abnormal! (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
