After defeating the Trail Blazers two consecutive games at home, the Jazz became the first team in the playoffs to win two consecutive victories to get match points. However, because the game between the Trail Blazers and the Jazz was speechless, the slow pace of the two teams in the game, the crazy singles brought by the Trail Blazers, and the various tactical fouls that appeared in the game that prevented the opponent from playing an offensive rhythm.

So on the second day of the second game between the Jazz and the Trail Blazers, although the Jazz won the game and won the game before the game, the team encountered extremely huge accusations, and even some people who were very supportive of the Jazz were a little dissatisfied with the team at this time.

"This is one of the ugly playoff games I've ever seen. Although this game is a typical playoff rhythm game, slow, dull and sleepy. If Lin Han's three-pointers from time to time could make people feel refreshed, this game would not leave me any good influence."

This is the Celtics legend after the end of this game, and one of the few NBA legends who have always supported Jazz and Lin Han. This legendary player who broadcasted this game almost directly expressed his dissatisfaction in the post-match interview.

"I'm not saying that the Jazz can't play such an ugly game. Winning in the playoffs means everything. Everyone knows this very well. The Jazz can be ugly, but it requires a target. If they are facing the Rockets, facing %long, %wind, %literacy is the Supersonics and the New York Knicks, then this team can win a game in such an ugly way, which is a very good thing."

"But their opponent is just the Trail Blazers. Although this team is really good, they are really not of level enough. Jerry Sloan's command is too conservative. He is afraid of change. He is very afraid of performing challenging and risky things. If he is the head coach of a strong team, his caution or caution is worthy of recognition. But if he wants to become a champion head coach, then his caution and caution are too strong. Whether it is Feier Jackson, Pat Riley or Chuck Daly, they are all very courageous head coaches."

"Maybe in his opinion, the Jazz can win even if they play at the pace of the Trail Blazers, but man. You are the Jazz, you are the first team in history with a record record of 72-10. When you follow the rhythm of a regular season 35-win team in a playoff game, don't you find this a very embarrassing thing?"

"The Jazz is a very powerful team. The players of this team have the ability to change any game. Jerry Sloan can have many choices to play the rhythm he wants. Don't forget that this team is the best team in the regular season offense. Now many people say that defense wins the championship because defense is the most conservative and safest way of playing. However, in the current NBA, pure defense cannot win the championship. Even if the Pistons won the championship for two consecutive years, the average score in each game in the finals exceeded 110 points. The Jazz have the ability to play both offense and defense at the same time, and Jerry Sloan needs to trust their players more. He needs to change some of his inherent values."

"He needs to know that the Jazz he is carrying now is not an ordinary playoff team, but a championship-level team. Such a team needs its own distinctive style and unique momentum to control the game. The Jazz cannot be trapped just by a pioneer."

Larry Bird has never been a modest gentleman. This former NBA football king is one of the most sarcastic players in NBA history. In addition, since he retired, the Celtic legend has been rejected by the team's management. Recently, he has been addicted to the commentary career and feels like he is becoming more and more addicted to playing. Of course, with his status in NBA, he can of course say many things that others cannot or dare to say.

For example, this time, if some other people who are not in a position dare to fire at the Jazz like this, not to mention that Jazz fans will definitely curse, I am afraid that the media that support the Jazz will not let go. But after Bird spoke out this time, not to mention that those media experts who don’t like the Jazz directly expressed their support. The Jazz couldn’t even control a Trail Blazers. Although the regular season performance was amazing, the playoffs would definitely be tragic. Of course, for these guys, even if the Jazz can easily control the Trail Blazers, they can still find 10 reasons for the Jazz to not win the championship, so the statements of these people are actually not important. What is important is that many media supporting the Jazz also expressed their support after Larry Bird criticized Jerry Sloan.

It has to be said that after the Jazz and the Trail Blazers' second game, the Jazz kneeled and defeated the Trail Blazers, Jerry Sloan was under great pressure.

The head coach of a team with a 72-10 loss in the regular season is going to play in the playoffs. Almost the whole world is waiting for this team to show the same dominance as the regular season in the playoffs. Although everyone does not require the Jazz to perform like the Trail Blazers in the first game, at least they cannot control the rhythm and lead the nose, right?

Because in such a game, although the Jazz won, it can be seen from the regretful expression of Trail Blazers coach Carlesimona after the game that the team was very dissatisfied with losing to the Jazz because they succeeded in tactical terms. The reason for losing is that the team does not have a super player like Lin Han and Malone.

Of course, although Jerry Sloan's command and adaptability is indeed not very good, and his coaching style does lack adventurous spirit and excessive pursuit of caution, he is not unaware that the Jazz now has the ability to play many beautiful offenses. The key is that although the team has such ability, he cannot fully control such ability. Not to mention making the team play more beautifully, he really cannot control the team's attack now. Lin Han, Malone and Stockton can't interfere at all, unless he can make a set of threesomes.

Superstars play more efficient offensive tactics. Otherwise, he would not be able to change the team's offense. For a head coach like Jerry Sloan who lacks a sense of security, he would not be able to take charge of the team's offense. He would not be able to take charge of the team's offense. Although the three Jazz's superstars are indeed powerful, he dare not fully believe that these three people can always be invincible when using their personal abilities to attack. In this case, he naturally would not want to gamble everything about the team on the offense of these three people. Therefore, although he cannot control the team's offense, his best defense can still be done.

So, although he had made Malone, Stockton and Lin Han consumed a lot of energy on the defensive end, let alone. In the last game against the Trail Blazers, Jazz fans were dissatisfied with watching their team being led by the Trail Blazers, but Jerry Sloan was very satisfied, because the team's defensive end performance in the last game gave him a sense of security.

Of course, the Jazz defeated the Trail Blazers at home. They won two consecutive victories but were dissatisfied by many people. Such a thing was impossible for the Jazz in the past. After all, everyone's previous requirements for the Jazz were absolutely different from the current requirements for the Jazz. Although many people now think that Jerry Sloan's ability is no longer worthy of the Jazz team, at present, the Jazz's internal internals are actually relatively stable.

Although Jerry Sloan's coaching ability has some problems, it has to be said that because of his personality, his prestige in the team is very good. Although after the Jazz and the Trail Blazers' match, the outside world is questioning Jerry Sloan's coaching ability. However, the Jazz's internal team is still very stable, and basically all Jazz players have not focused on Jerry Sloan's hack.

"The Rockets were actually defeated by the Suns two consecutive games at home. Is this team so miserable?"

After defeating the Trail Blazers in the second game, the Jazz will have three days off, and the next away game against the Trail Blazers will be on May 4, so in recent times, the Jazz players have focused almost all their energy on the observation of several of their main opponents in addition to training.

The Jazz's main opponents in the playoffs are naturally impossible to be other teams, basically the Rockets, Supersonics, Warriors, and Knicks, especially the Supersonics, Rockets and Warriors in the West. These three teams are definitely the Jazz's miserable teams this season. The Supersonics and Warriors are really amazing after the start of the playoffs.

Especially the Warriors, facing the fourth-placed Spurs in the West, the crazy team led by old Nelson was almost beating the Spurs. The Warriors defeated the Spurs twice in a row in the away game. You should know that although the two teams only fought four times in the regular season, the two teams' regular season record was only 2-2. Although the Spurs won in one game, they did not win so brilliantly at the beginning of the season because Chris Mullin was away and the Warriors had an internal strife. The Spurs won the Warriors one game, and the next game was won.

Rodman performed exceptionally, grabbing 25 rebounds and 10 offensive rebounds in the game and directly curbed the Warriors' run and bomb from the source. However, after the playoffs, Rodman always felt that he was not energetic. In this case, the Spurs who could not defeat the Warriors' rebounding can only let the Warriors attack. When the Warriors attack, not to mention that the Spurs who can only rely on the Admiral's attack, I'm afraid even the Jazz may not be able to fight against the Warriors.

So if this trend continues, the Jazz's opponent in the next round is likely to be their own miserable team, the Warriors.

Of course, the Spurs' record is very bad now, so it cannot be blamed for this. After all, the Warriors really restrain them, and the team's strength is not very good. In addition, Rodman is in a mess again when the Rockets lost to the Suns at home for two consecutive games, which makes people completely incomprehensible. Although the Suns are indeed very strong, the Rockets are not bad either. Even if the team has some running-in problems, Drexler's running-in with the Rockets is still very simple. After all, he and Olajuwon are teammates in college, and both sides are very familiar with each other. In addition, other players of the Rockets are all a group of shooters, so you only need to stand around Drexler and Olajuwon. So this team lost to the Suns in two consecutive games in the playoffs, let alone Lin Han and Jazz, even the media across the United States can't think of what the Rockets are doing.

"It seems that if we can enter the Western Conference Finals, the opponent is likely to be the Suns, and of course the Supersonics are not impossible."

Judging from the current situation, the Jazz 2-0 Trail Blazers, the Supersonics 2-0 Nuggets. The Rockets 0-2 Suns, the Spurs 0-2 Warriors, with a record of three wins in five games. The West really seems to be the situation. The four teams entering the second round are likely to be the Jazz, Supersonics, Warriors and the Suns.

Of course, for the Jazz, if they can defeat the Warriors in the second round to enter the Western Conference Finals, the opponent is likely to be the Supersonics or the Sun, and the Sun will have a higher chance. Although the Supersonics are very good at Jazz and the Jazz is very good at Suns, the other point is that the Suns are very good at Supersonics. This is a cycle, and it seems to be a very good cycle for the Jazz.

So in recent times, these Jazz players are actually very excited to watch the Western Conference playoffs, which are a bit turbulent.

On May 4, 1994, three days after the second game ended between the Jazz and the Trail Blazers, the entire Jazz came to Portland as a visit. Although the Trail Blazers had lost to the Jazz in the first two games and the team was pushed to the cliffside mountain by the Jazz, for the Trail Blazers, the team did not seem to have completely lost confidence. Not only the players and the head coach did not lose confidence, but even the fans of this team were the same.

After all, for the Trail Blazers, although they lost the last game against the Jazz, they did not see any hope of winning, especially the public opinion of the NBA has been very unfavorable to the Jazz in recent times. Especially for Jerry Sloan's conservative style of play, many people are very dissatisfied with Jerry Sloan's conservative style.

In this case, everyone in the Trail Blazers is waiting for the Jazz to make a mistake, because for the Jazz, they are a 72-win team. Even if Jerry Sloan is conservative, he cannot always want to win in a rude way. So from the Trail Blazers, it is absolutely possible for the Jazz who holds two victories and match points in this Jazz away game, or change the team's playing style. Jerry Sloan needs to prove that he is not an ordinary head coach of a strong team, and he needs to prove that he also has the ability to lead the finals team to win the championship.

As long as the Jazz makes tactical adjustments, the Trail Blazers' chances will come. After all, the Trail Blazers are not unaware of the Jazz team. Since the second half of the regular season, this team's playing style has become more and more simple and direct. Since the whole of the United States is questioning Jerry Sloan's ability and his control over the Jazz, the Trail Blazers naturally would not have expected that Jerry Sloan would be difficult to succeed even if he wants to change. The possibility of failure is greater. With Sloan's personality, he naturally cannot make possible changes that may fail. Therefore, the biggest change of the Jazz on the offensive end is likely to allow the team's three superstars to strengthen their offensive end.

This is exactly what the Trail Blazers are most afraid of. As long as the Jazz has not changed in tactical terms, their style of play will still not escape the Trail Blazers' three All-Star inside tactics. As long as the Trail Blazers' crazy three-inside tactics cannot be broken through the Trail Blazers' crazy three-inside tactics, the rhythm of the game will always be controlled by the Trail Blazers. The Jazz, who put a lot of energy on the offensive end, may have problems on the defensive end. This is the Trail Blazers' opportunity at that time!

As long as the Trail Blazers win at home, the score will be 1-2, and the Jazz will definitely be the one who has a problem with their mentality in the end, especially Jerry Sloan, and the Trail Blazers' chance will finally come.

It has to be said that as one of the most promising young head coaches in the academy, Calesimo is indeed very good in tactical analysis and brain-enhancing yy. Although the team's execution is not very good because of insufficient control of the Trail Blazers, the best thing for such a head coach is that every time the team loses, it is indeed very powerful for this type of head coach, if they really control the team, it is indeed very powerful. However, most of the academy head coaches who come from NCAA have difficulty controlling the NBA players because of the habits they have developed in NCAA. After all, the NBA's player status is completely different from the NCAA player status. These academy head coaches are often cheated by their own team players.

However, at this time the Trail Blazers are united, so Calesimo doesn't have to worry about being cheated by his players.

"Terry, I need you to be able to strengthen your personal offensive ability in this game. You must continue to put pressure on Lin Han on the offensive end, and Rhode. If possible, you also need to impact Lin Han more. In this game, we need to reduce Lin Han's influence on the offensive end. Do you understand?"

At 7 p.m. on May 4, 1994, an hour before the start of the Jazz and the Trail Blazers' home team's locker room, at this time, the Trail Blazers' head coach Carlesimo was setting up the game for his players. And if Lin Han was on this scene at this time, he would have been very surprised, because almost most of the tactical arrangements of Carlesimo were revolving around him.

However, with the strength of the Trail Blazers, they are indeed not afraid of Malone. Although Malone is a superstar, they also have three All-Star inside players in their team, only one point like Lin Han, and they never match. Corbin has enough height, but his speed is not enough, and Terry Potter has enough speed. But the height is not enough. These two people basically have the same effect on the defensive end when facing Lin Han.

In this case, the head coach of the Trail Blazers chose the strongest offensive point in this game. Terryport once again faced Lin Han, and it was obvious that the head coach of the Trail Blazers has given up the possibility of suppressing Lin Han on the offensive end. With Lin Han's offensive range, it is basically impossible for the Trail Blazers to block Lin Han.

The offense cannot block Lin Han on the offensive end, so as long as Lin Han is given greater defensive pressure on the defensive end, this can still be achieved. Especially Terryport is not just a defender who can average 10 assists per game. This guy is one of the best double-ath guards in the league in the past few years. The Trail Blazers used their athletic talent to crush the Western Conference powerhouses to enter the finals not only with Drexler's super personal talent and breakthrough ability, but also Terryport. Although this guy's personal ability and breakthrough are not as strong as Drexler, he is not much worse. Moreover, compared to Drexler, his current three-point shooting ability is more stable, so Terryberd can be regarded as a version of Drexler with a slightly weak breakthrough and a stronger three-pointer and weaker body.

Such a player can bring some defensive pressure to Lin Han on the offensive end, but the Trail Blazers' style of playing in the first two games did not require him to force the attack of Lin Han, because other Trail Blazers players have higher offensive efficiency against other Jazz players. Now, in order to restrain Lin Han's power on the offensive end, even if it is really not efficient, Terryport needs to force Lin Han to attack.

Therefore, this is actually a gambling. Gambling his offense can bring challenges to Lin Han's defense. If his offense does not have any threat to Lin Han's defense, the Trail Blazers' use of him will completely fail.

Therefore, after getting this task at this time, some media nodded tightly at this time, and for a moment, the Trail Blazers All-Star guard didn't know what was thinking.

Of course, at this time, the Blazers were setting up tactics against Lin Han, but in the Jazz locker room, it was not that solemn. As many people speculated, Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan did make some changes in tactical arrangements in this game, allowing Lin Han and Malone to focus more energy on the offensive end. It can be seen that in the face of the pressure in recent times, although the Jazz still supported him very much, Jerry Sloan himself could not completely ignore these pressures.

However, although there are new tactics, the tactics have not changed after all, so the Jazz players do not need to be as nervous as the Trail Blazers players. At this time, the Jazz players are actually very relaxed.

"Boy Lin is constipated again. This guy has been squatting in the toilet for half an hour."

"This kid will do this when he arrives in an important game. This feature is really interesting."

Even after Jerry Sloan gave the new instructions, and under the leadership of the two Jazz leaders, these guys had already teased Lin Han, but at this time he hid in the toilet. No, it should be said that Lin Han in the system space did not know about this.

In the first game of the playoffs against the Trail Blazers, Lin Han played 5x5 data in the game. And because it was the first time a player had such data in the playoffs, Lin Han obtained a purple and gold skill point in that game. Now, with the purple and gold skill point that Lin Han completed his first triple-double in his career, Lin Han already had two purple and gold skill points.

Before this, Lin Han was preparing to accumulate three skill points and raise Lin Han's three-pointer to the lv3 level, which would make his offensive performance more stable. However, after Jerry Sloan made new arrangements for the team's tactics in this game, for some reason, Lin Han felt that the Jazz would not be so easy to play in this game.

Especially when Jerry Sloan asked him and Malone to focus more energy on the offensive end, Lin Han's feeling became stronger and stronger.

"Are you really going to use these two skill points now?"

In the system space, facing Ali's problem, Lin Han nodded after hesitating for a while. Originally, he wanted to raise Chamberlain's locked block to the highest level. But now it seems that these two skill points cannot be used like this.

"There is no way, I feel that the Trail Blazers are probably not that easy to play in this game."

After Lin Han finished speaking, Aili nodded and said nothing. After Lin Han gritted his teeth, he placed the remaining two purple and gold skill points on Lin Han's three-point shooting and omnipresent defense skills.

Skill: Lin Han's three-point shooting (purple and gold a+ level)

Skill Level: lv2

Skill effect: This skill is a comprehensive shooting skill. This skill can greatly enhance the viewing effect. It comes with a special effect of lv2 god-level McDonald moments, and a special effect of lv2 god-level draw. It comes with a special effect of lv2 god-level fatal killing, and a special effect of lv2 god-level catch and shoot

Special effects of lv2-level God-level McDie Moment: When the host's team is behind, the host can turn on McDie Moment at any time for 35 seconds. Each time it is turned on consumes 20% of the character. If the host has enough character, it can be turned on multiple times. When the host's character is less than 40%, it can only be started once in a game. After the host turns on McDie Moment, the three-point shooting rate will be increased by 85%, and the two-point shooting will be increased by 75%. Three-point shooting is not limited to the three-point line, and can reach up to three steps outside the three-point line.

lv2 level god-level exhaust special effect: When the host uses this skill, the extra life rate of the three-point line one step is increased by 10%, and the extra life rate of the three-point line two steps is increased by 15%. The extra life rate of the three-point line three-point line is increased by 20%.

Special effect of lv2 level god-level fatal kill: When the host's team is behind, the three-pointer life rate of this skill is 15%. When the host uses this skill to shoot a buzzer-beating kill in the game, the life rate is increased by 15%, and you can predict in advance whether the kill can make the winning goal.

lv2 level god-level catch shot: When the host uses this skill to catch the ball outside the three-point line, the shooting rate will increase by 20% under unattended defense. When someone defends, the shooting rate will increase by 15% under stake.

This is a Lin Han-style three-pointer at the lv2 level. When this skill is upgraded to lv2, the other three special effects are all the hit rate. The only one that surprised Lin Han was that after McGrady reached lv2 at all times, there was no limit to falling behind by 8 points. Instead, as long as the team fell behind, this skill can be activated. Although it still requires 20 points of character every time it is opened, it is much better than the 8 points behind by the scam who needs to control points.

Skill: Kirilianko Assistant Defense Skill (Purple and Gold A+ Level Skill)

Skill level, lv2

Skill effect: This skill is an external defense skill. This skill comes with a lv1 level omnipresent special effect. It comes with a lv2 level elusive and undesirable special effect.

lv1 level omnipresent special effects: in any game, when the host is on the field as a defensive player. When facing the offensive defense, when the opponent passes the ball, the host can predict the passing route in advance before the opponent passes the ball, and the effect cannot be upgraded.

Level lv2 has no special effects: the host's response speed on the defensive end is increased by 30%, the steal rate is increased by 30%, and the blocking rate is increased by 30%. This effect cannot be superimposed with other defensive skill effects.

If the biggest change in Lin Han's three-point shooting at the lv2 level is to enhance the strength of McGrady's moment, which makes Lin Han a little less daring to use, then after the omnipresent skill is improved to lv2, it will really give Lin Han a huge sense of security.

Because when this skill is increased to lv2, the reaction speed, steal rate and blocking rate are doubled, which is exactly doubled!

It even gives Lin Han the feeling that if his reaction speed can be improved a little more, even if he is an outside player, he can assist in defense like an inside player. Even the area that can be covered in a short period of time will become larger and larger, even giving Lin Han the feeling that if this skill is really improved to lv3, according to Lin Han's physical talent and may become an omnipresent assist in defense skill.

However, it is unlikely to increase this level to lv3 in a short period of time.

At 8 o'clock in the evening on May 4, 1994, the Portland Memorial Stadium was already crowded with all the fans of the Trail Blazers.

Obviously, the Trail Blazers fans did not give up on this game. As many people said before the game, although the Trail Blazers lost 0-2, they are not without a chance.

Although Paul Allen has failed in recent seasons, he has reached the Finals twice in four years, which has given the Trail Blazers a large number of loyal fans. Although it is a pity that this team has not been able to win the championship, at least there are not many loyal fans of the team.

So when Lin Han and other Jazz players came out from the player channel first, they felt the depressing atmosphere on the scene. It has to be said that this kind of away booing in the playoffs can indeed disrupt the minds of some young players, which can be seen from David Wesley's face.

Of course, Lin Han, who came out of the booing of all the fans at this time, did not notice that there were always eyes staring at him in the stands.

"Boss, this game, Caresimo promises to beat the Jazz"

In the stands at the Trail Blazers' home memorial arena, Paul Allen nodded just by loving his assistant's whisper, his eyes still staring at the Jazz No. 8, and the Trail Blazers boss's face was also a bit complicated.

"You go and tell them that if you lose this game, all of them will not be on the team next season."

When Paul Allen finished speaking lightly, even his assistant was shocked.

You know, Paul Allen has always been very good to his players and has never said such heavy words.

It was obvious that this time was different from usual, so Paul Allen's assistant left again after taking a deep look at the Jazz No. 8 on the court. (To be continued...)
Chapter completed!
