(Related to book friend Xiaotian became the leader of this book, congratulations to o(n_n)o~~)

At 8 o'clock on May 10, 1994, the Jazz's home stadium Delta Center was already full at this time. Although this season, as long as the Delta Center is open to the Jazz, the stadium has always been full.

But today's situation is a bit special, because there are no games at home this year, but these Jazz fans are still so crazy. That's because they will witness another historic event on the team. Tonight, Delta Center Stadium will hold a grand celebration for Karl Malone, the first player in the team's team history to win the regular season MVP. As this year's regular season MVP, Karl Malone will also deliver his award speech today.

This is definitely a rare event for Utah Jazz fans. At this time, standing on the temporary podium built in the center of the stadium, Karl Malone was expressing his award speech with excitement, while other Jazz players, coaches and managers were all sitting under the platform on the court and watching Malone.

Of course, Lin Han, as a member of the Jazz, was naturally sitting in the audience, looking at Malone with tears on the stage with envious look on the stage. Although Lin Han knew that it would be difficult for him to win the regular season MVP this season, he was not completely without a chance. After this year's regular season voting, his score was still fourth, second only to Malone, Olajuwon and Stockton. However, it is too difficult for a team to get the NBA. This can be seen from Pippen. Even though this guy performed so well this season, he brought the Bulls to third in the East, and he was not worse than Olajuwon's Rockets in terms of record. Pippen was also selected into the first lineup and the first defensive lineup. The Bulls' influence was even greater than that of the Rockets, but when voting, Olajuwon could threaten Malone. He almost succeeded in the counterattack, and Pippen couldn't even compare to Lin Han.

With a Bulls without Jordan, he tied the Bulls with Jordan last season in regular season record. With such a record, Pippen only won 6 first votes, only one-fifth of Olajuwon. This is definitely related to the performance of the team's record players. But because in the minds of most people, Pippen, who has greatly increased his ambitions after Jordan left this season, does not want to be Pi Erye in most people's hearts. Even if Jordan is gone, he is still Pi Erye. The second master of a team cannot get MVP.

Although Lin Han's position in the Jazz is higher than Pippen's position in the Bulls and is not a simple second-in-command, in many people's minds, Lin Han is probably not the leader of the Jazz. Even Jazz fans don't think so. Even when the season is about to end, Lin Han and Malone's performance is not much worse or is almost the same. He is a little inferior to Stockton and Malone. However, in the final vote, although Lin Han got a lot of votes, more people still chose Malone or even Stockton. Lin Han was only ranked third, although he was already established and could not get rid of the reputation of "Second Master". Lin Han is also much lucky.

However, although he is lucky than Pippen, he did not win the rookie regular season MVP like Chamberlain and Anseld. Lin Han still feels a little regretful. He is no longer inferior to these two seniors in his performance, but Lin Han is still not as lucky as these two. After all, when they arrived at the NBA, they soon became the boss of their respective teams, and there are two big guys pressing on Lin Han.

"Lin, aren't you very sorry? You are not the one who stood on the stage today?"

Just when Lin Han looked at Ma Long with envy and jealousy, Stockton, who was sitting on Lin Han's side, was still staring at Ma Long intently, but the corners of his mouth moved slightly. Lin Han also came to his senses after hearing Stockton's words.

"Yeah, there's a bit of regret"

After thinking for a while, Lin Han sighed and said, but what surprised Lin Han was that after he answered, Stockton did not respond at all. After a moment, when Lin Han looked back, although Stockton still had a smile on his face, his eyes were full of loneliness.

"I also feel very sorry, but I know that I will never be able to stand on that platform in my life." After feeling Lin Han's gaze, Stockton said in a vague voice, which made Lin Han unsure of the mood of the black-bellied man with a smile on his face at this time. However, another sentence from the Jazz's head point guard made Lin Han extremely surprised and surprised again.

"Although I don't have any chance, Lin, sooner or later you can stand on that platform like Carl"

After the Jazz's point guard finished speaking, Lin Han didn't understand that this black-hearted man could tell the matter so sure. When Lin Han turned his head with a complicated face and looked at Ma Long on the stage again, Ma Long's speech was almost over.

"I still imagine a guy coming out of a town with a population of less than 300 people, a child whose father committed suicide when he was very young, and a loser who has reached the end of the basketball road countless times can one day become the best player in the NBA. Thank you, my cutest 'stupid' teammates."

After Ma Long finished his last remark, when he saw everyone around him standing up and the fans in the stands on the sidelines stood up and applauded, Lin Han also stood up. Although Lin Han was still applauding at this time, his eyes were not actually on Ma Long, but on the regular season MVP at Ma Long. At this time, Lin Han, who had never left the trophy on the stage, did not notice that there were reporters taking pictures around him, and he did not notice that a reporter actually took Lin Han's gaze at the MVP trophy. The photographer who took this photo did not think about how much impact the photo would have after being waited out.

Seeing Ma Long successful at MVP speech at Malone, Lin Han was really full of envy and jealousy. Fortunately, he gained a lot this season. At least after the league's awards wave passed, Lin Han still had many milestone rewards left in his hand, which surprised Lin Han himself.

All-Star MVP rewards a silver-level milestone

Best lineup rewards a silver-level milestone

Regular season scorer rewards a silver-level milestone

NBA Best Rookie Award Silver-level Milestone A

Best Defensive Team Rewards Bronze Milestone

Best Rookie First Team Rewards Bronze Milestone

2, 3, and April Best Rookie Awards Bronze Milestones Three

Now Lin Han has 4 silver-level milestones and 5 bronze-level milestone rewards!

After the All-Star Game, Lin Han always thought about playing big ones. So he always hoped to get the regular season MVP so that he could directly get big ones. After all, the regular season MVP is a golden milestone reward.

However, although I was unable to get the Golden Mileage Award for the Regular Season MVP, the five silver-level rewards can also be synthesized into one gold-level reward. Now Lin Han has four silver-level rewards. Although one silver is missing, aren’t there still 5 bronze-level rewards? Just synthesize five bronze-level rewards into one silver.

So now Lin Han has also synthesized a golden-level milestone reward!

The reward of the golden level milestone allows Lin Han to choose to do two things. One is to exchange this golden milestone for a silver-level special lottery opportunity, which may draw many good special items. Another way is to find a golden level legendary player and then draw a skill from this player.

Bronze level milestone draws bronze players have 70 chances to draw silver skills, 20% to draw silver or above skills. Silver level has 70% chances to draw gold, 20% to draw gold or above, while gold level milestone rewards are 10% to draw gold skills, 90% to draw gold or above.

At that time, Lin Han was almost stunned when he found a group of gold-level legendary players in the golden-level milestone he synthesized, because as long as Lin Han was willing, he could draw a lot of good things, such as Stockton among the golden-level legendary players, who draws the purple gold skills with a 90% chance. As long as Lin Han chooses Stockton, then Stockton's strongest passing skills or vision skills Lin Han can draw one of them almost 100%. If you are really lucky to draw Stockton's vision skills, that would be great.

Of course, besides Stockton, Garnett, who is very familiar to Lin Han, is also a legendary player at the golden level. Lin Han already has a purple and gold skill from Garnett. If this reward is used on Garnett, as long as Garnett has other purple and gold skills, Lin Han can also draw it. At that time, if a skill matches the rebounding skills of the whole game appears, it will be very good.

So Lin Han was a little hesitant at this time, and for a moment he didn't know whether to use the "big" reward he synthesized to draw a vision skill or get a special item such as a talent title.

However, Lin Han is not very anxious now. After all, neither the vision skills nor the talent title are the most important things now.

Now for the Jazz and Lin Han, the most important thing is naturally the second round of the playoffs with the Warriors. The second round of the playoffs between the Jazz and the Warriors began on May 11, which is tomorrow.

But for the NBA public opinion circle now, the Jazz's second round of the Warriors is not the most eye-catching thing, and even the fact that Malone released his MVP award-winning speech at the Delta Center is not the most concerned thing.

What has attracted the most attention from the US media or NBA public opinion and fans in the past two days is that the various other counterattacks that appeared in the first round of the Eastern and Western playoffs and the almost stunned ones!

Although there are fierce showdowns such as the Rockets and Suns in the first round of the playoffs this year, the Spurs and Warriors, such as the strength and weakness, most of the showdowns are due to some clear strength and weakness. Therefore, before the first round of the playoffs began, almost every NBA media and expert did not expect that there would be so many accidents in the first round of the playoffs.

If it is a big accident that the Jazz were forced to lose their pace by the Trail Blazers, and the Spurs lost 2-3 against the Warriors, then these two accidents are really a terrible difference compared to other airport games.

In the West, the second-ranked Supersonics in the West face the seventh-ranked Nuggets in the West. Who would have thought that something would happen in this duel?

Especially when the Supersonics won both home games and won 34 points in two games. Who would have thought that the Supersonics would lose three games in a row and be defeated by the Nuggets in the end? Who would have thought that the Supersonics would have lost three games in a row and were defeated by the Nuggets? Who would have thought that the Supersonics, who performed ordinary in the first two games, suddenly seemed to wake up or suddenly understand in the last three games. In the last three games, they gave 6, 8 and 8 blocked a total of 22 blocks. Mutombo, who averaged more than 7 blocks per game, almost collapsed the Supersonics.

In the end, when the Nuggets overtook the big score with a 0-2 trailing and counterattacked the Supersonics, the entire NBA league went crazy, and even the NBA awards season was covered up by this news.

In addition to the Nuggets' counterattack 0-2, in another match between the West, between the Suns and the Rockets, the Suns also led 2-0 and were counterattacked by the Rockets, just like the Supersonics.

You should know that when the Suns were leading the Rockets 2-0, they were extremely excited at the time and thought that the team's failure strategy in the regular season had been successful. But in the interview after the game, Barkley directly told reporters that they were already considering their next opponent. You should know that when Barkley said this, no one raised any doubts. From now on, Barkley, who has always liked to challenge his character, lost to the Miracle again, or simply said that he lost to Olajuwon, who suddenly exploded. In the last three games, Olajuwon scored 26 points, 15 rebounds, 6 assists and 6 blocks. 28 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists and 5 blocks, 37 points, 17 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks.

At the end of Lin Han's first round series, many fans laughed and said that this super rookie was crazy about scoring data that was close to 5x5 per game when facing the Trail Blazers. In fact, although Olajuwon, the king of the league's 5x5, did not score 5x5 in any game, almost every game was close to 5x5, and even the average data was even more terrifying than Lin Han.

However, compared with the counterattack of the Supersonics and the Nuggets that shocked the whole of the United States, the counterattack between the Suns and the Rockets is acceptable. After all, the Rockets are third in the West, and this team is really very powerful when they don’t pretend to be dead.

Of course, the West played a counterattack this year, and although the East did not have as many counterattacks as the West, it played a heartbeat here. Except for the Knicks who easily defeated the East, the eighth Heat, like the Jazz, the other three duels played a heartbeat.

For example, after the Hawks, the second-place team in the East, lost in the first game. If it weren't for the fifth game, Nets guard Jeff Malone failed to score two-pointers. This second-place team in the East would be eliminated in the first round like the Bulls.

In the first round of this year's playoffs, which showdown plays the most heartbeat? There is no doubt that it is definitely a showdown between the Pacers and the Bulls, or a showdown between Pippen and Reggie Miller.

It can be said that when Reggie Miller beat the Bulls in the first game of the playoffs, when the Bulls fans shouted Jordan's name all over the game, the guy staged a very classic booing move, Pippen and Reggie Miller both fought, or the Pacers and the Bulls got into it.

What kind of player is Reggie Miller? The last time this guy was selected as an All-Star was 4 years ago. This guy only averaged 20 points per game. In the era of talented people, this guy can't even make the best three teams in the best team. However, one of the characteristics of this guy is that Jordan is extremely troubled. Or, Jordan, who has been in the position of gods in the past three years, has one of the most troubled players. The one who is most afraid of is Olajuwon, and the one who is most troubled is Reggie Miller. This guy can average 20 points per game in the regular season, but in the playoffs, he can average more than 30 points per game, and the regular season three-point shooting percentage can be above 40%, but in the final three-point shooting percentage can reach 50% or even 60%. When facing generally not very strong opponents, this guy is even a bit dead dog, but when facing opponents like the New York Gangs and Jordan, this guy is a lunatic.

So, when Pippen personally faced Reggie Miller and wanted to block the Pacers boss, what made Pippen very embarrassed or angry was that Reggie Miller suddenly slipped out from him under his nose in Game 5 to complete a super final series win.

Although Pippen complained that Reggie Miller pushed him after the game. It was a foul, but the result of the game was confirmed. No matter how much Pippen complained, he could not clean up the fact that he led the team and was hacked to six. Even when Reggie Miller finally completed the final kill in front of Pippen, all the Bulls fans shouted that Jordan was back. Pippen's face was extremely ugly. He knew that if Jordan returned at this time, he would really miss the most important opportunity in his life, and the title of Pi Erye will accompany him throughout his life.

Of course, the Bulls and Pacers played heartbeat, and each game was almost on the verge of being a final and being a final, and it ended in a very dramatic way with Reggie Miller killing the Bulls. This is a very classic series.

Another showdown between the fourth Magic and the fifth Knight in the East is funny, or O'Neal.

When Lin Han, Webber and Hardaway performed very well in their first playoff journey in their careers, O'Neal, who became the four centers, performed so funny.

Or rather, O'Neal is very funny when he lives, but this guy who is very funny outside the court is not funny at all on the court, but is full of domineering. However, when he met a group of balls from the Cavaliers, this Magic player not only got a little funny outside the court, but also became very funny inside the court.

The Cavaliers are fifth in the Eastern Conference, and their strength is not comparable to the Magic, which is inevitable. However, if O'Neal, who is averaging 29+13+3 in the regular season, averaged 20 points and 13 rebounds per game, and had just 50% of the shooting percentage and made more than 5 fouls per game, it would be difficult for the Magic to win every game. With the adjustment of the Cavaliers Larry Nance, the old ball player who is about to retire, the All-Star inside player, was sent off twice in five games, and the Magic lost all these two games. Although they were not sent off in the other three games, they were on the verge of being sent off. This guy took three times in this round of the series just by technical fouls.

Although the Magic finally eliminated the Cavaliers 3-2, it was obvious that O'Neal was quite dissatisfied with him. Although it depends on him whether the Magic can win, it depends on how outstanding he doesn't want to be. It depends on whether he will be sent off.

Of course, O'Neal, the young fourth-largest center, performed very badly in his first playoff journey. In this world where inside players are still very powerful, even if O'Neal really has unlimited potential and outstanding abilities, facing a group of old inside players who have been baptized by three centers for countless years and even baptized by the peak of Jabbar and Moses Malone, this Magic's leading player still needs to learn a lot.

No, no matter what, after all the first rounds are over, the second round of the NBA playoffs will be out. The Knicks, the number one in the East, will face the Magic, the fourth in the East, and O'Neal will compete with another big guy among the three centers after crossing the Cavaliers' group of old ball players. The Hawks, the second in the East, will face the sixth in the East, and the Pacers, the sixth in the East, will face the Bulls. Although the Pacers are not ranked high, they will definitely defeat the Bulls.

In the West, in addition to the Jazz and the Warriors, another showdown is naturally the dark horse team Nuggets and the champion popular Rockets.

On May 11, 1994, the day after Malone delivered his MVP speech yesterday, the Jazz will face the Warriors' challenge today.

The Jazz, who have been on a week off, have physical advantages compared to the Warriors who just finished playing five games with the Spurs on May 9, but also have disadvantages in game condition. Overall, the showdown with the Warriors is definitely more difficult than the Trail Blazers.

Of course, the Jazz knew this, and others naturally knew this very clearly. So on the day of the Jazz and the Warriors' match, when the Warriors came to Salt Lake City and was interviewed before the game, there were much more reporters coming to Salt Lake City this time than in the previous round.

After all, in the first round, the Jazz and the Trail Blazers did not seem to have much suspense, so many of them were paying attention to the Rockets and Suns, or the Warriors and the Spurs. But now, when there are only four matches left in the NBA playoffs, especially the two matches in the West. After Olajuwon and Drexler awakened and won three games in a row against the Suns. Can the Nuggets compete with the Rockets? It seems that they can kill in seconds.

Under such circumstances, almost most of the media have flocked to Salt Lake City now, and there is no way. Although the Jazz's regular season record is amazing, many people expect this team to sweep the championship all the way, just like the advantages they showed in the regular season. At this time, this team actually saw their loopholes so quickly, which makes people look down on the Jazz, and many people even favor the Warriors before this series.

"The Jazz is a very good team, but I always say that this team is a seriously overrated team. They don't have any ability to compete for the championship. Their weaknesses are very obvious, both players and coaches. In the NBA, there are at least two teams that are better than them, while the Warriors are other teams that are not worse than the Jazz. If we look at the state of the game, I don't think the Jazz can win in the second round, and the Warriors will use their attack to defeat the Jazz."

As one of the largest Linhei in the United States, former New York Knicks legendary superstar Willis Reed expressed his disdain for the Jazz in an exclusive interview with the New York Times. In fact, in the first round of the Jazz and the Trail Blazers game, the Knicks celebrity, as a guest of the ABC studio, has had many fights with Jazz legend Dantley in the studio. For most of the time, when others heard Willis Reed's comment on the Jazz, they would only smile and not argue, because everyone knows how this guy might like the Jazz. Unless the Jazz swept Lin Han out.

But this time, the New York celebrity's views seemed to be recognized by many people, and not many people were laughing at him for "taking private revenge".

Of course, except for the predictions of many media and experts, the Jazz are not very dominant. Compared with the pre-match predictions, the Jazz's market is indeed not very good.

If it is not a big deal to make many media underestimate this, after all, I have experienced too much in the face of such underestimation this season, but after coming to Salt Lake City, even many Warriors players look down on this Jazz.

For example, Weber, the Warriors' first second midfielder, expressed his disdain for Lin Han and the Jazz, saying that this series will defeat the Jazz like the previous round.

The Warriors' second second-middle school boy, Lin Han's teammate Spreville, also expressed his "dissatisfaction" with Lin Han in the Western Conference All-Star team.

"I know Lin's character very well, and I also appreciate Lin's strength. We have worked together and he is a very good player, but I will prove that I am better than him."

Although Lin Han and Spreeville were not familiar with each other, they had a conversation at the end of the All-Star Game. The relationship was pretty good, but it was obvious that because of the previous best lineup, the Warriors' middle-level boy was resentful to Lin Han.

You should know that when selecting the first lineup, Stockton's scoring first in the defender position, undoubtedly occupying a first-team position. The third-place scoring third in the defender position is no one else, the Warriors' defender, who pressed Chris Mullin, the Dream Team superstar, on the bench for a long time!

In other words, without Lin Han, he is the number one shooting guard this year, and he will get another team guard position outside Stockton.

This defender who has successfully competed with Chris Mullin is not comparable to a veteran like Terry Porter. This player who averages 21+5+5+2 games this season is like Lin Han, who is extremely versatile offense and defense and has extremely rich offensive methods.

Even Lin Han himself knew that being targeted by such a guy was not a good thing, and Lin Han knew very well that this guy's personality was quite strange. Who would know what would happen after he met this guy?

Of course, after the Warriors came to Salt Lake City, the players of this team really looked down on the Jazz, or the young players of this team were really extremely maverick, which gave Warriors head coach Nelson a very headache.

The Warriors head coach's situation in the Warriors is actually not much better than Jerry Sloan. Jerry Sloan has a good relationship with the players, but he seems to be less than with the players in terms of tactical play. Old Nelson has a bad relationship with the players, but his style of play is very consistent.

So it's a good idea to meet these two people now. (To be continued)
