"Hahaha, boss, we won, we finally won this game, hahaha"
"The finals, the finals, the finals, we are here!"
"Lin, your tm's job is amazing, you know?!"
On June 3, 1994, on the field at the Compaq Center in Houston, Jazz players lied freely after the game. If it weren't for the fans on the sidelines, they were still stunned and didn't know what to do. If the atmosphere on the sidelines was extremely quiet, then many people would probably think that the Jazz played at their home court in this game!
At this time, these Jazz players were so excited, really excited. The victory of such a game can be said to have laid a lot of things. This can be seen from the Rockets players at this time. The Rockets head coach Tom Janovic stood on the sidelines and looked straight, and he still couldn't believe that he lost the game. Similarly, the Rockets substitute players on the sidelines were also stunned at this time. As for the key three who just made the empty space just now, the key three
Kenny Smith, who had no points in the division, was lying on the court at this time. As a rookie, Cassel was already squatting on the ground and covering his face with his left hand, and his right hand kept stroking the floor of the court, and was already crying. Robert Holly, if it weren't for Olajuwon's assist in defense in this series, the young forward who had been beaten almost every game was sitting on the ground with a blank look on his face, and next to him was Maxville, who was as confused as he was.
The other Jazz players were very excited, and even Lin Han's two little brothers were already running all over the field at this time. Even Malone and Stockton were excited at this time, and they would come over to touch Lin Han's hair during the internship period when they kept roaring in the stands around.
Unlike these Jazz players, although Lin Han was excited and excited at this time, he did not wantonly ravage the stadium where he had already beaten to cry. Perhaps Lin Han's physical fitness was indeed extremely overdrawn at this time. At this time, if Olajuwon had to use the basket rack to stand firm, then Lin Han was a little better, but even if he was better, it would be limited. He could obviously feel his legs trembling now!
Of course, I don’t want to celebrate freely in this stadium where I was beaten and cried. This is not only because Lin Han’s current physical condition is indeed not suitable for doing this kind of thing, but also, although Lin Han does not like this team, nor does he like the players of this team, and even he is a mortal enemy with Olajuwon and Drexler, for this game, Lin Han is willing to give his two mortal enemies some basic respect. Just like at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Drexler gave up his superstar dignity and sacrificed his foul tactics against Lin Han for the victory of the team. This made the stingy Stockton, the invincible Malone, and the hot and wanton Lin Han shocked at that time, because these three Jurgents were both shocked.
The Swords superstars seem to them that they will never do such a thing, sacrifice for the team, and every NBA player has such awareness. But how much sacrifice is worth considering, at least for these three people. If they sacrifice themselves to that level for the team's victory, it is really difficult for them to do it. Although Drexler interrupted the Jazz's fast break and kept fouling Lin Han, the players on the Jazz's field did not think that Drexler was provoking. No player did this on the court to do such a thing on the court would be considered a provocation. If Lin Han was good at Malone in a self-destructive form, the same was true.
After that, after the Rockets started the showdown with Olajuwon, Lin Han didn't think he had defeated Olajuwon. Maybe he had defeated it, but in a game, McGrady's moment, it was not that Lin Han could not solve the problem in this game. Although the number of fouls was not reached, Lin Han could also make a foul and send the Rockets players to the free throw line. It was just in the last two minutes of this game. If the Jazz sent the sideline ball and when Lin Han hit a three-pointer, Collins did not think of Lin Han's miracle moment, the Rockets would not have thought of Lin Han's miracle moment. The Rockets would not have thought of Lin Han's miracle moment.
, At that time, as long as the game enters the dead ball, Lin Han has no chance to connect the ball, serving on the sideline means that Lin Han is willing to be surrounded by three or more people. The Rockets' performance in the last moment has indeed put Lin Han in enough pressure. The pressure is so high that Lin Han is already a little unconfident that he can solve the problem at all. As for Olajuwon, if it weren't for the last moment, he would be in poor physical strength, if it weren't for the last moment, Tomjanovic was a little cowardly and dared not believe him. Even Lin Han didn't know how this game would develop.
Lin Han won this game, and Jazz won, but it was really difficult to win!
So, at this time, looking at Olajuwon, who was leaning against the basket, tilting his head a little lonely and wondering what he was thinking, Lin Han shook his head with a sigh. Maybe the Rockets lost the game, but he must not say that he lost the game.
"Lin, why are you in a daze? You're leaving?"
When Lin Han looked at Olaju in a daze, Olajuwon did not notice this, or even if he noticed this, he didn't know what kind of mood to face Lin Han. However, after the other Jazz players celebrated freely, they finally realized that this was not his home court, so amid the boos of the Rockets fans who came back to their senses, these Jazz players all smiled and walked off the stadium with Lin Han.
The fourth game of the Rockets and Jazz lost in the Western Conference Finals. Although the fourth game was not a battle of Tianwang Mountain, for this round of series, the fourth game is definitely the most important game in the series. Both teams are trying their best to press all their energy on this game. In this case, the victory or defeat of this game will determine many things, which means that many experts believe that the Rockets won in this game, so the Rockets can drag the game to the seventh game, and the Rockets can eventually kill the Jazz. Many people also believe that if the Jazz wins in this game, then the maximum number of five games in this round of series will be after returning to the Jazz home court in the next game. The Rockets have no chance to win.
From the madness of this game, especially after this game, let’s compare the situation of Rockets players with the situation of Jazz players. Not to mention Rockets fans, even Rockets head coach Tom Janovic doesn’t think his team can beat the Jazz in the next game!
"The two teams played well today. It was really great. The Jazz played their best offensive and defensive form since the series, and we were the same, so it was a very difficult game. Both teams had the chance to win and had the possibility of killing the game, but in the end we lost, and this loss hit us really a big blow. I will be responsible for this game, our players have tried their best."
At the press conference after the game, Tom Janovic, the head coach of the losing side, completely lost the previous one. However, his expression at this time also made people feel a little strange and calm, without anger or dissatisfaction, which even surprised Jerry Sloan on the side.
"Rudy, can you tell me about the timeout at the last moment of the fourth quarter?"
However, after the reporter asked this question on the scene, the Rockets head coach, who was originally extremely calm, could clearly see the flash of anger and unwillingness. However, the Rockets head coach soon suppressed this emotion.
"I admit that was a bad timeout. I miscalculated the situation on the field and I was a little panicked in the end. This is my problem. It has nothing to do with Kenny and other heat."
The situation on the court was wrongly estimated. When Tomjanovic said this answer sincerely and calmly, no one laughed at him, and no one continued to ask him about Kenny Smith, because everyone knew that the timeout was indeed a mistaken estimate of the situation. When Lin Han and Olajuwon were killing, not only the Rockets players had some emotions, but even the Jazz were similar. Moreover, these players also included Lin Han and Olajuwon. When Olajuwon scored two points each time. Lin Han hit a three-pointer, what would Olajuwon feel like? When Lin Han hit a three-pointer each time, but the score would always be overtaken by Olajuwon again, what would Lin Han feel like? Once or twice, what would it be if four or five times, or even five or six times? Under such circumstances, the players on the court ignored it.
It is Lin Han or Olajuwon that it is no longer because of strength and will that support this game, but an instinct and inertia. Instinctively think that he must score this goal, and his body and brain are no longer controlled by the players' consciousness, but the inertia of the players' previous matches. In this case, Tomjanovic mistakenly believes that Olajuwon's body has a condition. In fact, Olajuwon's body is indeed in a condition, but this does not mean that Olajuwon cannot complete the attack. When Tomjanovic really paused and interrupted Olajuwon's inertia of the game, Olajuwon really could not complete the attack. As for Kenny Smith's three-nothing, a player who has almost collapsed has an error in executing the last attack because of a wrong choice by the head coach. Of course, the head coach has to bear the greatest responsibility.
Since Tomjanovic has taken the responsibility himself, there is nothing they can ask. In the eyes of many reporters, Kenny Smith should actually be more sympathetic, or in other words, all the players on this game should be sympathized except Lin Han and Olajuwon. It's too miserable. When Lin Han and Olajuwon played in this game, the others were really terrible.
Of course, they really couldn't bear to hack those players anymore at this time, but I don't know what will happen after the newspaper comes out tomorrow. After all, sympathy is limited. Compared with sales, such sympathy can be ignored.
Of course, since Tom Janovic has taken all the responsibility to him, these reporters let him go without asking questions. However, as the head coach of the Jazz team on the winning side, they cannot be let go, especially at this time, Jerry Sloan's excited and excited face was really visible to everyone.
It seems that the head coach of the Jazz not only won a Western Conference Final, but also seemed to have won a series. In fact, if Jerry Sloan really arrogantly said that he was sure to win this series at this time, then there are probably not many people who will refute him now, because this is already a fact in the minds of many people!
However, although Jerry Sloan wanted to be so arrogant in his heart, he was a guy who had been cautious for decades and he really couldn't shout such words as "I'm already considering the opponent in the next round." Even if the Rockets seemed to be collapsed at this time, even Tom Janovic was no longer angry and unwilling to lose his team. This means that the Rockets head coach could no longer find a reason for the team to defeat the Jazz.
So, seeing Jerry Sloan who was still extremely cautious at answering questions at this time, these reporters were speechless, and some people even despise Jerry for "deserving the popularity is not high." Although Barkley's big mouth and arrogant personality are indeed easy to cause some disputes, this is also the reason why these reporters like him, and it is also the reason why his popularity is higher than other inside players. For example, the Jazz led by Jerry Sloan, with this guy's personality, if it weren't for the shitty luck that came to Lin Han this season, even if there were many superstars in their team, no one would pay attention to it because it was too boring.
"The last question, Jerry, can you tell me about the timeout of the Jazz in the last moment of the fourth quarter?"
Unlike Tom Janovic who called out a bad timeout, Jerry Sloan's timeout at the last moment in the fourth quarter, after the timeout, he fully encircled Olajuwon. And letting Lin Han go alone, this is considered to be the most critical factor in the Jazz's victory in this game. If Jerry Sloan still chooses to wait for Olajuwon to consume it during that period. With Olajuwon's condition in this game, the Jazz will kneel down!
However, at that time, it was really risky to choose such a timeout at that time. If Lin Han fails to attack after the timeout, the Jazz would also lose. Similarly, if Lin Han's offensive state cannot compare to Olajuwon. If Lin Han's three-pointer was not 5 of 5 in 5 in the end, the Jazz would probably die miserably. So, this is a gambling style. A very risky timeout. However, judging from the results of the game, Jerry Sloan won the bet.
So, when these reporters asked this question, Jerry Sloan, who had always been extremely cautious, had a smile on his face even stronger.
“I believe in my players, I believe that as long as my players play in the way they are most familiar with, the results will always be good.”
After Jerry Sloan said this answer and stood up and left with a smile, the reporters were stunned by this answer. Jerry Sloan did not talk about the success of tactics as they expected, but directly pushed everything to his players. Is this guy still the Jerry Sloan they are familiar with?
Jerry was quite familiar with the caution of the past, but the answer to this question made them familiar. For example, the Bulls guy, who loves to say the most is that I believe my players. As long as they play comfortably, no one can defeat us. At this time, Jerry Sloan, the representative of the "literary youth" in the league coaching industry, actually started playing this game?!
Of course, Jerry Sloan, who is no longer so 'literary' at this time, shocked all American journalists, but fortunately their ability to accept is indeed strong enough. Jerry Sloan's style change is not unacceptable. Moreover, no matter how much Jerry Sloan's style changes, he is not the protagonist. The protagonist of NBA is destined to be a player. The protagonists of this game are also players. Lin Han and Olajuwon, which only makes these reporters very regretful that neither Olajuwon nor Lin Han accepted the post-match interview.
According to the explanation of the two teams, these two people were exhausted after the game and were receiving treatment from the team doctor, so they were not suitable for interviews.
These media reporters can actually accept this explanation, because it would be extremely strange if Lin Han and Olajuwon's performance in this game is not exhausted.
Because the two of them had 55 points and 13 rebounds in this game, there was a little difference that Olajuwon almost scored a triple-double of 50+10 and sent 7 assists. In this game, Lin Han only had 2 assists, and other blocks and steals were similar.
Even if a player plays such data in the regular season, it is difficult, not to mention in the playoffs, and Lin Han and Olajuwon are both players who are most closely guarded by their opponents, let alone the cost of the game.
Of course, for this game, even at this time, Olajuwon and Lin Han did not accept an interview. The content of this game would not make these reporters worried that there was no content to write about the report the next day.
"55+13 and 55+13! The most terrifying playoff double showdown in NBA history, Lin Han defeated Olajuwon to win the legendary showdown!"
"Incredible players, incredible games. Both Lin Han and Olajuwon played an epic game. This is the most exciting playoffs of the season. It is also one of the most exciting Western Conference finals in NBA history. Lin Han and Olajuwon both completed the transformation from superstar to quasi-ball king in this game, because in this game they made everyone see different from other players!"
"When Larry Bird suggested that Lin Han had already challenged Jordan some time ago, he encountered a lot of criticism. Now, I think such a controversy is no longer there. Lin Han exceeded everyone's expectations, and he deserves such a status!"
This is the news that the United States today's front page of the basketball page on the second day after the game ended. As the first Lin Mi media in the United States, the media expressed support for Lin Han without any concealment. Not only did it express support, but it also began to affirm the fact that Lin Han was defeated by Larry Bird for a while ago and said that he was the quasi-football king.
Although there are many complaints about the statement in the United States today, at least Lin Han and Olajuwon are above other NBA superstars, I'm afraid many people disagree with this statement, such as David Robinson, what is 50+10? This season, he faced the Warriors' playoffs, and he also made such data in the weak Warriors' inside line. In the last game, in order to be able to defeat O'Neal in the scoring list. In order to maintain his position as the center in the second team, David Ronaldo
Binson has also scored 70 points in a single game in the regular season. Is Lin Han and Olajuwon there any data? He even scored four-double in the regular season. Can Lin Han be scored? Although he is unwilling to admit it, David Robinson can admit that Lin Han is a superstar of the same level as him, and Olajuwon is the same. But if these two are one level higher than him, he won’t believe it to kill him, especially Lin Han. If there is one Malone and Stockton among his teammates, he can defeat the Rockets, and it won’t be so difficult.
It’s just at this time. Although there are many complaints in the US today, no one cares. Because at this time, almost everyone was shocked by the Jazz and Rockets game, not to mention these media and experts. Even the entire NBA fans are like this.
On the second day of this game, almost all American basketball fans were discussing this game. Lin Han and Olajuwon both scored 55 points and 13 rebounds in a single game. Olajuwon even almost completed a triple-double of 50+ in the playoffs. This great achievement that no one has accomplished. In this case, the impact of this game can be imagined.
"Lin Han is really outstanding. He is the best rookie in NBA history, even better than Chamberlain's rookie season. His future will become a king of football. I absolutely believe that his future will become a king of football! He, Carl and John will be our three greatest players in Utah. We can now consider the finals!"
"Lin Han and Olajuwon are half a grade higher than other NBA players. I didn't believe it before, but now, after this game, I believe it. They are really amazing. I am willing to believe that if you are today, they are the strongest now!"
"It's just that, it's a bit regrettable that one of them is destined to fall in the Western Conference Finals. It's a shame. Why is the Knicks really shit about Lin Han or Olajuwon not in the East?!"
"Bastard, what does this game have to do with the Knicks! Lin Han and Olajuwon are indeed strong, but this year's championship must be our New York City, and Madison Square will be Lin Han's grave!"
"Madison is Lin Han's grave? Have you seen these sneakers under my feet? Where do you get the confidence?"
When Jazz's singles singles king Dantley and Knicks legend Reed fought again on ABC the next day, these two guys representing almost the entire NBA Lin Mi and Lin Hei fans can basically represent the views of NBA fans across the United States at this time.
For Lin Han and Jazz fans, the victory of this game and Lin Han's performance almost made them forget the guilt that Jordan had said he would accept Lin Han's challenge before. Some of the same neutral or Rockets fans regretted that Lin Han and Olajuwon could only enter the finals, because no matter how they looked at these two, they were better than the players and teams of all the Eastern teams, and they should meet in the finals. Of course, this view naturally cannot be accepted by Knicks fans. Although they are now forced to be 2-2 by the Pacers, they still seem to believe that they will represent the Eastern Conference.
Of course, after the fourth game between the Jazz and Rockets, almost the entire NBA was discussing Lin Han and Olajuwon, especially Lin Han, because there has never been a player as strong as Lin Han in the entire NBA history. Even the Magician who won the MVP in the Finals in the rookie season is probably not so strong!
And similarly, it is a bit strange that although the whole United States is discussing the Jazz and the Rockets, Lin Han and Olajuwon at this time, there are not many people talking about the fifth game of the two teams. Even Rockets fans rarely deliberately mention the fifth game. It seems that for everyone now, the fifth game of these two teams does not exist. Of course, this is apart from Lin Han and Jazz fans.
"For a neutral fan, everyone knows what will happen in the fifth game between the Jazz and the Rockets. Maybe in many people's minds, it's enough to stop this series here, but this is the NBA, someone needs to accept the failure, there is no win-win situation here!"
When Larry Bird said this in the commentary as a Linhan fan in Game 5, before the Jazz and the Rockets started playing at home, the passage basically represented the voice of many people, because almost everyone could see what would happen to the Jazz facing the Rockets at home in Game 5 of this game.
Especially when the Jazz beat the Rockets 98-79 in the fifth game, these people felt even deeper. The result of this game was predictable. For most Rockets players who had lost confidence, this game was a torture. For Olajuwon, who was overdrawn in the last game, those who sympathized with him saw his extremely helpless side. Although he scored 38 points and 16 rebounds in this game, he was already trying his best to save the defeat, but seeing the Rockets outside players with 2 of 15 three-pointers, even if he wanted to save the defeat, especially when the Jazz were hitting him with all their might.
Of course, Olajuwon, who was overdrawn in this game, almost scored 30+20, which surprised Lin Han. Because after the last game, in order to restore his condition in the system space, Lin Han took a rest for 2 days. In addition to the two days in the real world, Lin Han took a total of 4 days to recover. In this case, in this game, except for the defensive end, which still locked Drexler and intimidated the Rockets' outside players, Lin Han could not do that, especially now his character is only 20%.
This is even more so. Lin Han only made 9 of 21 shots, scored 25 points, 16 rebounds, 5 steals and 3 blocks, which was somewhat inferior to Olajuwon in data. Malone played very well in this game. After all, it was really difficult for Olajuwon to take into account this game in this game. After defeating Robert Hawley, no one in Malone could control it. He made 16 of 28 shots, 40 points and 12 rebounds in a single game. This is the most outstanding game this regular season MVP played in the playoffs this season, and of course it was the most enjoyable game.
Because he really suppressed Lin Han in this game in terms of data and performance, but what made Malone a little depressed was that when the day after the game ended, the front page headlines were all titled when the Jazz beat the Rockets 4-1 to enter the finals in the newspapers.
"The most terrifying duo in NBA history?! Knicks? Pacers? Are they trembling?!" (To be continued)
Chapter completed!
