(Please give me a monthly ticket, please subscribe!)
"Hahaha, Carl, why are you so bad? We won this game!"
"Yes, big win, big win, this is a big win that is almost 30. Just imagine that we can beat the Knicks in this posture in the finals, I feel extremely excited!"
"Who would have thought we could beat the Knicks at the beginning of the season? When we first met them in the regular season, Carl was terrible by Ewing, and Lin was terrified by Starks. If Lin hadn't staged a miracle moment in the last moment, we would have been a crushing defeat!"
"And now, they are defeating miserably. We were not on the same level as them, but now they are not on the same level as us. It's so cool, it's so cool!"
Tom Chambers, the former power forward of the Suns, was robbed of the legendary inside line by Barkley, the first generation of power forward flying man in NBA history. Last year, he was completely defeated by the Bulls' Jordan and Pippen on the stage of the finals. He was affectionately regarded by Suns fans as the man who was "the biggest scapegoat in the finals". He was very excited at this time. (].
This year, it was a very bleak season for many Jazz substitutes. The Jazz had never thought that their team could reach such a level before, so although the team's substitutes were pretty good, they were at the playoff level, just like Chambers. In fact, Chambers, who had proved that they did not have the strength of the finals player in the finals, and other Jazz substitutes, could become qualified substitutes for the playoff team. However, when the game came to the Western Conference Finals and came to the finals, their role continued to decline.
Even when the team's game came to the Western Conference Finals to play the Rockets, the Jazz's main substitute became Elliott, a small forward who has been getting better and better in the playoffs in recent times.
However, even so, for these Jazz substitutes, even if they really don’t have the ability of a finals player, as long as they can win the championship, they are champion players. And the title of a champion player is definitely not just a honorary title.
For Chambers, as long as he wins the championship with the Jazz this season, he will be the biggest slap on the Suns fans. The Suns' Suns's first team brought Barkley and mercilessly beat him. Finally, last season, the biggest blame was still on him, a substitute player. Although his performance in the finals was indeed very bad, it would be okay for him to take the blame, why is the whole world regretting Barkley but putting the biggest mistake on him?
This Utah-born player was already considered a retirement after leaving the Suns sadly. Unexpectedly, at the end of his career, he could still get such a gain. For a veteran like him, money is no longer so important. What is important is the glory of a championship and the perfection of his career. If the Suns are shattered by the Suns fans until they retire, then his career will be blamed on the finals. Now, as long as he wins the championship, no stain will appear. Therefore, when the Jazz defeated the Knicks almost as if they were tortured in this game, the Jazz's substitute veteran was really excited.
As for the young substitutes of the Jazz, such as David Wesley and Aaron Williams, although they don’t think about their career perfection like Chambers, as long as they can win the championship, they basically don’t have to worry about finding a job in the NBA.
Therefore, when the Jazz players returned to the locker room after celebrating wildly with fans at the Delta Center, almost everyone was excited to say hello to Lin Han. In this game, Lin Han took 32 goals in the third quarter. According to the Jazz's 61 attempts in the first three quarters, Lin Han accounted for more than half of the team's attempts, and even eliminated the substitute time in the first half of the second quarter. Lin Han's thirty-two attempts in the third quarter accounted for more than 60% of the starter's attempts. If such attempts are included in the regular season, in general games, or in the team's loss game, even if Lin Han scores high, I'm afraid no one in the Jazz will like Lin Han to do this, but in this game.
When Lin Han almost smashed the Knicks' defense with his own strength opened the door to series victory for the Jazz, allowing them to see the championship right in front of them, it was completely different.
After all, Lin Han didn't make many shots, how could he smash the Knicks' defense? It's obvious that even other Jazz players really recognize Lin Han now. After the team returned to the locker room, almost everyone was interacting with Lin Han, except for one person. As the team's leading player, as soon as Karl Malone entered the locker room, he threw the towel on his hand on his seat. The expression on his face was really smelly.
In the face of Karl Malone, all the Jazz players could understand this. Before the start of this game, Karl Malone's funny guy has always claimed that he will win the MVP in this year's finals, and no one else will compete with him. At that time, because Pat Riley said he was choking Lin Han, most of the Jazz players had never thought about competing with Malone. This guy said that he had nothing to say, and everyone took it for granted. If the Jazz could play a single season to win the MVP player in the regular season and playoffs, it would be a glory, so everyone would also like to see it.
But who could have thought that in this game, the Knicks really beat Lin Han, and it was only a matter of not being able to play together. Under such circumstances, Lin Han still tore the Knicks' defense line apart. There is really no way. Whoever made Lin Han the outside line has more opportunities than Malone. Unless Stockton completely favors Malone, it is basically impossible for Malone to split up with Lin Hanbiao. As the team leader, if Stockton really favors Malone, it would be a kind of fire to the relationship between Malone and Lin Han, so Stockton naturally could not do that kind of thing. Unless Malone really decided to break up with Lin Han and have a scene with me but not him, Stockton would really consider supporting Malone.
So, when Malone saw Lin Han getting angry in the locker room, the other Jazz players did not dare to interrupt. At this time, the team's head coach was attending the post-match press conference. Stockton's leader was so troubled that he didn't know how to persuade him. The other players were not qualified, so Chambers, the only veteran with very deep qualifications, had to stand up.
"Lin, don't you think your style of playing in this game is too unique? This is not your own team!"
Faced with Chambers' persuasion, Malone pushed Chambers aside with a very unpretentious face and said to Lin Han with a very ugly expression. Lin Han took more moves than him in this game. It's nothing. Lin Han averaged nearly 30 shots per game in the regular season. He basically made more moves in every game in the playoffs, but at least he was still a little restrained at that time. When facing double-teams, there was a little team in his eyes. Now? In the finals, especially in the first half, he had clearly shattered the Knicks' defense. The Knicks' defense had basically collapsed, but in the third quarter, he still had to throw them around in the face of double-teams. Although Starks was really not tall enough, it was also double-teams?!
You know, although Malone wants to get MVP and wants to make data, in this game, he will pass the ball as long as there are two people in the Knicks' defense. What makes Malone particularly upset is that Lin Han has such excellent ball control ability. Why did he pretend that he did not have ball control ability before? He clearly has such strong inside ability to restrain defense ability, why did he have so many opportunities to give him the air relay, and this guy would rather retreat from the inside than pass the ball to him?
Lin Han has no vision and no passing ability? He doesn’t believe it if he kills Ma Long!
When Lin Han first joined the team, he said that he had no defense and said that he could not run tactics, so the team accommodated him and did not want him to do tactical training or participate in defense. As long as he took action and scored, he would be fine.
Afterwards, as the insults outside became louder and louder, many of Lin Han's skills could no longer be hidden, defense, running, and even passing appeared one by one. If a player only could shoot at the beginning of the season, even a genius like Jordan would not grow so high in the season!
Obviously, Lin Han wanted to take action, score points and data, so he kept hiding his other abilities. Although Ma Long didn't know why Lin Han did this, this guy's behavior was simply unbearable!
Of course, at this time, Ma Long pushed all the wrongs to Lin Han in his heart. Regardless of whether it was true or not, he believed it anyway, so this was true. At this time, facing Ma Long's attack, Lin Han's face was extremely calm, as if he had known this would be the case.
"What? Are you not talking anymore? Or are you guilty?!"
Looking at Lin Han's quiet silence, Ma Long's face became even more angry. At this time, the Jazz's locker room was almost sniffed.
"Okay, Carl, stop talking, calm down!"
Finally, when he saw Lin Han still not speaking, and when Malone felt like he was about to burst out, Stockton stood up and stopped drinking. After being stopped by Stockton, Malone glared at Lin Han coldly and then sat down in his seat.
"snort"
Looking at Ma Long, who looked unhappy and snorted in his seat, and then looked at Lin Han, who was still silent at this time. Stockton shook his head helplessly. It was really difficult to deal with two such teammates, as the point guard. Both of them were too difficult to serve.
The Jazz locker room, which was originally extremely enthusiastic, became a little silent because of the openness of the conflict between Lin Han and Malone, the two players. Although they had guessed that their relationship had some problems, before the start of the finals, seeing that Lin Han and Malone were still able to fight together with each other, these Jazz players thought that these two people had no problem.
But from now on, these two guys are not good people.
Both of them were afraid that the other party would drag him down in the previous game, and they were walking to "get the ultimate move" to play a big shot in the finals. However, Ma Long never expected that Lin Han could "progress" before the start of the finals. His originally weak ball control ability has become so outstanding now, which is completely beyond Ma Long's expectations. According to the current situation, if he doesn't get angry and doesn't give Lin Han some "pressure" if Lin Han continues to fight like this, how can he play?
Although these Jazz players do not have the IQ of Stockton, many of them are also smart people. How can they not know the true meaning of Ma Long just revealed the matter? In addition to expressing his dissatisfaction and anger, they are more about putting Lin Han on pressure, asking him not to beat him like that in the future, think more about his teammates and think more about his boss.
Lin Han was really amazing. He didn't sound a word and pretended not to hear it at all. This made Ma Long's heavy punch hit the cotton directly. Lin Han's meaning was very clear. Anyway, I don't know what you said, and I can't hear it either. If you have the ability, you can do it. Don't mess with those useless ones.
Faced with Lin Han's silent counterattack, how could Ma Long bear it? Even if he pretended to get angry at this time, just to give Lin Han a reminder, he might be able to get out of his true anger in the end, and it would really not end at that time. Fortunately, Stockton was also smart. When Ma Long really made a real fire at the critical moment, he stopped these two funny guys.
"Huh? What are you doing? Why do you all look like this?"
"By the way. Carl, Lin. Your post-match press conference has begun and you can go now."
When Jerry Sloan took Feier and Johnson to the press conference and walked in from outside the door. Looking at the strange atmosphere in the locker room at this time, the Jazz head coach was a little stunned. He was doing well on the court, but why did he be like this now?
After he said to me, Lin Han and Ma Long sat in their own position at this time without moving. Finally, when Lin Han stood up and walked out of the locker room, Ma Long snorted and sat still motionlessly in his own position.
After this scene happened, even if he was puzzled, Jerry Sloan had some speculations. When he looked at Stockton on the side, Stockton shook his head helplessly.
Obviously, Jerry Sloan's guess was correct, and Malone and Lin Han started to have a fight again.
In the NBA team, there will never be any conflicts, and one is extremely harmonious, that is impossible. Any team will have various internal problems, which is also a problem that tests the team's head coach's skills.
However, Lin Han and Malone had problems at the beginning of this season. The two had been having sex for a season. Jerry Sloan was used to it and didn't think much about it. However, Lin Han's playing style is indeed too aggressive today. It is normal for Ma Long to have a little temper. With the personalities of these two people, they should be able to reconcile quickly.
"Okay, don't stand up. Everyone performed very well today. They packed up their things and the team was disbanded!"
After Jerry Sloan finished speaking, the awkward atmosphere in the Jazz locker room was slightly relieved, and at this time, Lin Han naturally could not know what was happening in the locker room.
The Jazz rookie is still feeling unhappy now, especially when she thinks of Ma Long's questioning him just now, Lin Han is even more upset. Judging from the guy's tone and expression, it seems that he must give way to him. Why?
"Okay, distorted [information, don't think so much. Faced with the temptation of the single-season Grand Slam, no one can avoid it. Malone will do this, and you don't think too much. Maybe this is not what he really means."
Just when Lin Han was very upset with Malone, Aili's voice sounded in his mind. It seemed that this system elf could see more clearly than him.
"However, your playing style today is really hateful. Tsk tsk, if I were Ma Long, I would have taken action long ago. There are so many good opportunities. Many times, Ma Long has already flew in the air. He watched you dribble the ball back from the inside to the outside, and didn't even look at him. Fortunately, it was Ma Long. If it were a certain flexibly fat man, he would probably have fought with you on the court."
After Aili smiled and said, Lin Han also rolled his eyes. He wanted to send Ma Long the air relay. The key was where to send it? Everyone else could see the opportunity, so why couldn't he see the opportunity?
"Oh, I don't think so much, I'm so upset"
Finally, Lin Han sighed helplessly, and when Ali in the system space saw this, Lin Han shook his head. Of course, he knew why Lin Han was upset now, because Lin Han felt more and more that the team was bound to him. Although Malone said that just now, it was not wrong. Lin Han needed to know that this team was not his own team. When Lin Han continuously compressed Stockton's space, he should be alert. Stockton does not pursue any honors and an important championship, so he can endure Lin Han for a short time. But Malone is not Stockton after all.
Of course, Aili would not tell Lin Han about these words. After all, she had told Lin Han not to improve her strength in a more comprehensive direction. In the end, an accident occurred. She did not expect that Isaiah Thomas would be such a person, and actually passed the ball control skills to Lin Han. This guy Lin Han actually learned it. There was already a very serious problem because Lin Han could control the ball. The problem became even more prominent. Stockton's ball rights were compressed by Lin Han again. Lin Han had the ball rights and could not pass the ball to his teammates like Stockton, so he could only play by himself. Malone only took 13 shots in a game. Lin Han made more than 60% of all the starters. Thinking of these data, Alice was sweating all over her body.
Fortunately, it was the Knicks. If Lin Han could not break the opponent's defense line, I'm afraid the Jazz would definitely kneel. If the Jazz kneels in this game, then Lin Han's situation would be really tragic.
Of course, after this game, there were some problems inside the Jazz, but these problems were absolutely impossible for the media outside to know. Now, except for the Knicks media, almost everyone else in the American media was excited. After all, Lin Han was able to score 50 points in three quarters in the first game of his career, which was definitely a news that could cause a huge sensation.
Although because the Knicks' strength seems a bit poor, Lin Han has no chance to break 60 in a single game, such a number is unprecedented. As for whether there are visitors behind, I really don't know.
Therefore, when Lin Han appeared at the post-match press conference, the New York media felt that it was too embarrassing. They lost almost 30 points in a single game and really couldn't see anyone. So even though they were really unhappy with Lin Han, they didn't have the nerve to get angry. Some other media that didn't like Lin Han could not be black at this time. After all, the performance of 50 points in the third quarter could be comparable to Lin Han's previous 60 points in a single game against the Warriors. If Lin Han was still dark at this time, then it still needs to be considered whether the fans are willing to buy it.
In this case, when Lin Han appeared, it was really a place to pursue Lin Han at the entire press conference, which made Lin Han want to find a few unsightly reporters to vent his displeasure, which made Lin Han a little helpless.
"Lin, the last question, will the perfect performance of today's first finals give you the desire to win the MVP in the finals?"
When this question was asked, almost all the reporters at the audience looked at Lin Han with bright eyes. Even the Knicks media were looking at Lin Han at this time. This is a very good question. Those who like Lin Han will hope that Lin Han will answer with affirmative answers. Media who don’t like Lin Han will also hope that Lin Han will answer with affirmative answers. This is also a difficult question. Whether it is a positive answer or a negative answer, there will be many questions. The key question was asked by American reporters today. Lin Han can’t remain silent or deal with the matter.
Of course, Lin Han also knows that the United States today is not to criticize him or dig traps for him. Recently, this crazy media of Lin Han has been praising Lin Han as the No. 1 rookie in NBA history. If he doesn't win the MVP in the finals in the rookie season, why should he compete with Chamberlain or the Magic for the No. 1 rookie?
However, sometimes the brainless honey is even more terrifying than the high-level black. Looking at the reporter of the United States today with a bright and expectant look, Lin Han was sweating all over his body at this time. When Aly in the system space saw Lin Han being tricked by his brainless honey, the system elf almost rolled in on his bed.
"It's too early to say about MVP in the finals. The Knicks are a great team. We just won them one game. As for how the future development is, we don't know. Of course, I'm naturally looking forward to MVP in the finals, but I know that this is the glory of the winners, and in the Jazz, John and Carl are both great players. I think if we can really beat the Knicks, they can also deserve this honor."
"Man, you have to know that the Jazz have always been a whole. I have said before that I will not brush data for data. I can also say now that I will not brush data for personal honors. My personal pursuit is always under the pursuit of the team. The finals MVP is a great personal honor, but I value the championship itself more."
"I think Carl and John think the same way I think"
After Lin Han finished speaking, he was stunned by Lin Han's extremely humble and selfless words at the scene and had not yet reacted. Lin Han left directly. If Malone or other Jazz players heard Lin Han's words at this time, they would probably be nauseous and nauseous. In fact, after Lin Han finished speaking, he felt a little disgusted, and even the sound of Aili, the little girl, deliberately pretending to vomit, was already heard in Lin Han's ears.
But there is no way, sometimes I should say this. The same sentence is not to make those who do not believe in Lin Han believe, but to give those who believe in Lin Han a reason to believe in him and support him. Just like Lin Han said at the time that he was not the same brush.
"A great victory, the Utah Jazz beat the Knicks perfectly, and scored 50 points in the third quarter of the Super Rookie Finals debut!"
"The disappearing skill reappears in NBA, dribbling with fingertips to help Lin Han win the finals MVP?!"
"Perfect debut. Lin Han became the youngest finalist 50-pointer!"
"The first championship in the finals? Lin Han said that the Knicks can still struggle!"
"The shameful failure, Pat Riley was strangely silent after the game, and he was suspected of being dissatisfied with the team?"
"Karl Malone missed the post-match press conference, the specific reason is unknown, and the Jazz official said there is no problem within the team!"
"Sweep the championship? Jerry Sloan admitted that he had never thought about it and claimed that Pat Riley is the greatest"
When Lin Han and the Jazz made their debut in the NBA Finals and defeated their opponents with a huge gap and staged a perfect victory, the next day, almost the focus of the entire United States was on this team and Lin Han. After all, whether it was the Jazz's win in a single game of more than 20 points or Lin Han's 50 points in three quarters, this was an extremely terrifying thing.
No one could have thought that this finals would be like this. Although everyone thought that the Jazz did have great advantages, they never thought that the advantage would be so big. Moreover, under the defense of the Knicks, Lin Han not only started a big killing, but also even made a skill like dribbling with fingertips. This even made a large fan of fans wonder whether Lin Han would have other lost skills the next day.
"At the beginning, Jordan's back turned and jump shot, then there was a free throw from Barry's urinal and a veneer cover for Chamberlain, then the Magic's Little Sky Hook, and then Jabbar's Tian Hook. Now Lin Han can dribble with Saiya Thomas' fingertips. I want to know what else Lin Han doesn't know? Even if he plays the fingertips of Ice Personality's fingertips, I won't be surprised at all. He is a miracle player. He has been creating miracles since he entered the league, so I like his sneakers very much, because his sneakers say everything. I think if Miracle Generation is going to be a silhouette and label next year, Lin Han's fingertip dribble action can be used as silhouette and label."
"No, I think the Tiangou or the Xiaotiangou are better, and they look more picturesque. But to be honest, I still like the silhouette more. I won't tell you that I'm a New York black man, I just don't feel happy to see them, hahahaha!"
Although the Internet is not yet developed, fans don’t have much room to express their opinions, and self-media has not yet appeared, after the game, many interviews and many special conversation programs can still allow fans to express their opinions.
I have to say that after the Jazz defeated the Knicks in the first game, it was like a carnival for many Linhan fans and Jazz fans. Jazz players could feel that the championship was already very close to them, let alone these fans?
And when the second game between the Jazz and the Knicks started again in the center of the Delta on June 12. When this crucial second game was played, the league's best head coach, the magician Pat Riley, changed the team again in this game. The original three-inside lineup became a one-to-one, four-small lineup, and all efforts to increase the team's movement ability on the outside and oppress the outside space and Lin Han, the Knicks were still unable to defeat the Jazz away in this game.
Although the Knicks did not give up their in-out offense in this game, and they also regained their first half-time tight defense, it was obvious that when the Knicks pressed the Jazz on the outside, the Jazz were not the Rockets. This team was not just a player who broke the tight pressure. Stockton did not even break the tight pressure. Russell was like this. So when the Jazz didn't change the starting lineup, the Knicks did not think about forcing the Jazz to death with such a tight pressure on the outside, but they only thought about pushing Lin Han to death.
Such an expanded defense does make Lin Han have some problems with the offensive direction on the periphery, because after a little hesitation, facing Lin Han's defense is neither one and a half or two of the previous game, but three of them surrounded by all sides. Even players like Isaiah Thomas or Jordan. Facing the attack from three players, this requires consideration of your own function and not being able to make a bloody path.
What's more, although the Knicks' outside players are indeed a little worse than Lin Han in height, they are three people attacking each other. One person is hanging on Lin Han, one person committing crazy fouls, and the other person is ready to block them at any time. Such a defensive strategy is almost the highest defensive force that Pat Riley can take based on the winning goal.
If you don't consider winning, Pat Riley can play Jordan's rule. Everyone will play together, but it's obvious that although he lost a bad first game, he still wants to win.
To be continued...
