Chapter 276 We are the champions!(1/2)
"What do you think about the first trophy in the history of the team that will be awarded? No, we don't have any extra ideas now, because didn't you say it? It means that it has not been awarded yet. We are full of confidence in this year's championship and are willing to give everything for it. We are doing this now, but in the future, it is still very early to talk about the feeling of winning the championship."
When the Jazz and the Knicks finished their third game, the Jazz were led by Lin Han, and Malone and Stockton did not play in the fourth quarter. Lin Han led the Jazz's half-main and half-substitute lineup to reverse the score and then turned the score into 3-0. There are very few people who believe that the Knicks can beat the Jazz at home and reverse the championship. Even the most loyal Knicks fans no longer discuss the ownership of this year's NBA championship, because the whole world is very clear that the Knicks no longer have any chance at this time.
This came from the fact that the team's head coach Pat Riley was humiliated and forced by New York reporters at the scene after the third game. The atmosphere was directly shouted out. After the next game, you can scold whatever you want. After that, you left the post-match press conference. It can be said that even the head coach Pat Riley of the New York Knicks was very clear at this time. It is obvious that the team's internal strength has indeed been due to continuous failures and continuous humiliating failures. Some players of this team may have developed some other emotions.
In this case, although the public opinion in New York is really chasing Lin Han and the Jazz. But in this American public opinion circle, almost all media have reported in advance that the Jazz won the NBA championship for the first time in history. It can be said that after the third game between the Jazz and the New York Knicks, as the head coach of the Jazz, Jerry Sloan is really the focus of public opinion and media across the United States.
After all, the real focus should be Lin Han, but because Lin Han did to the Knicks fans in New York, he almost fought with the Knicks fans at Madison Square. Although the two sides were unable to fight due to the security personnel's stop, in the current anti-Lin Han atmosphere in New York, if Lin Han dares to appear, it will basically be a bloody storm. In this case, even the president of the league, David Stern, has assigned a task to the Jazz, and recently, Lin Han has been a little hiding in the limelight.
Therefore, Lin Han, who was finally allowed to be interviewed by Jerry Sloan, was once again banned by Jerry Sloan. In this case, it is impossible for these media to interview Lin Han even if they want to interview Lin Han, so they can only stare at Jerry Sloan.
"The problem of Lin Han and Malone? The two have good problems now. Everyone is in high spirits now. We are in good condition now, so there is no need for everyone to keep an eye on this problem. Whether it is Carl or Lin, they are all very outstanding professional players. They both love Utah and Jazz very much. Their goal is always the same, that is, to lead the team to become the best NBA player."
Of course, although everyone is paying attention to whether the Jazz can defeat the Knicks in Game 4 to win the championship, but now the fool knows that Lin Han has definitely been able to win the NBA Finals MVP, where did the relationship between Lin Han and Malone finally develop? Especially for Jazz fans, after the Jazz basically locked in the championship in recent times, all Jazz fans are most concerned about the relationship between Lin Han and Malone. However, although Jerry Sloan's answer can a little reassure for fans who care about the Jazz, the head coach of the Jazz did not solve everyone's doubts.
Because everyone knows that Lin Han and Malone's initial goals were indeed the same, both leading the team to become the best team in the NBA. Now, when the Jazz have become the best team in the NBA, who should be the best player in the best team in the NBA?!
This question is also a focus of Lin Han and Malone. With Lin Han's performance in the playoffs this season and the performance in the finals, there is almost no doubt that Lin Han's performance is better than Malone. If Malone leads Lin Han by half a step at the end of the regular season, then now, the playoffs are about to end, Lin Han will be half a step ahead of Malone.
However, judging from Jerry Sloan's answer, Lin Han and Malone no longer need to distinguish between the top and bottom. Although Jazz fans have never thought that the two must distinguish between the top and bottom, everyone also knows that it seems that it is really necessary to do this at this time, even if they don't want to do this.
"Will there be any tactical changes in the next game? No, we have always been very focused on executing our tactical ideas. We will not change the tactical ideas we have formulated because of the value outside the court in a game. The Knicks are a very outstanding team, but we have been able to find the weaknesses of this team well, so everyone can rest assured that in the next game, whether it is Lin Han, John or Carl, they will not be absent. We have always been a whole. Being able to reach this point is the effort of all the players in the team."
In the last game, Lin Han defeated the Knicks with a half-main and half-substitute lineup in the fourth quarter. Although the Knicks were caught off guard by Lin Han and the Jazz at the beginning of the fourth quarter of that game, it has to be said that Lin Han led the team alone to only score 10 points in the finals. With Malone's performance so bad, he led the team alone to win. This feeling was still extremely shocking, especially Lin Han's worst organizational assist, Lin Han actually gave 18 assists in a single game in the finals!
Although the Magician was finally hit by the iron-blooded Celtics in the 1984 Finals, and the stronger Lakers lost the championship, the Magician still set a record of assists in the history of the Finals in a single game, with 21 assists. But who is the Magician? The Magician is the point guard with the strongest assist ability in the history of the league!
Don't think that the Magic's average assist data in the regular season at its peak is far inferior to Stockton and even Isaiah Thomas. However, as long as you enter the playoffs or the finals, almost 90% of the assist data in the playoffs and finals belong to Magic Johnson. What are the finals' single-quarter assist records, half-time assist records, full-game assist records, average assist records, and rookie assist records are basically all of them belong to Magic Johnson.
With Lin Han's style of playing and everyone's inherent understanding of Lin Han, such a cancer actually gave 18 assists in a final. Although his organizational ability is still the same, although it looks very good, the pass is too single after all. Lin Han, who lacks imagination, cannot be comparable to Magicians or other organizational experts.
But even so, this is enough. In this case, some people have even called out whether the Jazz should let Lin Han lead the team alone in the next game and try with the New York Knicks? If you win, then Lin Han will be on the spot. If you lose, let Malone try again. If Malone also loses, then the two of them will not compete. It is obvious that for this proposal that is obviously unreliable but has been popular recently, it is impossible for Jerry Sloan to play like that.
Joke, after all, this is the NBA finals and not a house. As the championship is about to be won, how can you play around and finally kill yourself?
Moreover, after the third game between the Jazz and the Knicks, although Lin Han and Malone still did not speak and the atmosphere fell into a cold war, the two of them were not as tense as that.
I'm afraid this has a lot to do with Lin Han's strong performance in the third game. Karl Malone also knows that it is impossible for him to get the MVP this year. In this case, there is no need to deliberately show himself and create some conflicts.
Therefore, although outside is quarreling about internal conflicts between the Jazz, the Jazz is still in harmony in the past one or two days.
Especially on the day of the fourth game of the Jazz and Knicks Finals, all the Jazz players were considering what kind of celebration they should make after winning the championship. Some players even contacted to buy tickets in order to allow more relatives and friends to watch the game on the spot. They have to say that although no one in the Jazz told the team that the finals would end in the fourth game, in fact, everyone was already making such preparations.
"Lin, are you really not going to ask your family to watch this game? Do you really give me these tickets?!"
"I said it and gave it to you, so I gave it to you. Why do you talk so much nonsense?!"
Looking at PJ Brown with an excited look on her face at this time, Lin Han really wanted to kick this guy.
Although PJ Brown's salary is not high, it is still okay to buy a few NBA tickets, but the key is not a problem with money. At this time, in New York, even if you have money, you can't buy tickets. After all, this is New York. The team finally reached the finals. In this city where there is no shortage of money, even the team is already behind 0-3. The average ticket price is still more than $1,000 per ticket, and in the end, the supply is still in short supply. Almost as soon as the tickets are released, they are instantly killed by New York fans.
Even in the NBA finals, there are tickets for free, but at the level of PJ Brown, it would be strange that he could get tickets for free in New York away.
Even at Lin Han's level, he didn't have enough tickets from the league, and he still didn't have one in the third game. The Jazz had already won the match point in the fourth game. It was not enough. I have to say that the NBA's official official is quite considerate, at least he is quite considerate to these stars or superstars in the league.
Not enough, Lin Han had no friends at all. As for his family, Lin Han dared to invite his family to Madison? That would be really crazy. As long as the live broadcast camera was scanned to Lin Han's family and the big screen was put on, I'm afraid that all the Knicks fans in the audience should take action.
So these tickets can only be sent to friends. Even if they are friends, Lin Han doesn't have many, and most of them are on vacation at this time, such as Van Eksel, Antonio Harvey and others, and some, such as Reggie Miller, who is impossible to come to New York, Hardaway and O'Neal will not come either. This is their sad place, and they are also enjoying the last half month vacation. After the finals, they will go to Dream Team 2 to report. In this case, Lin Han's ten tickets were sent out. Garnett and Iverson asked for four. Garnett asked for two, and the rest was given to PJ Brown, a guy who was not young but had already brought his family.
"Hahaha, Lin, don't worry, our whole family will cheer for you today's competition, Xinke MVP!"
After taking four tickets from Lin Han's hand, PJ Brown left happily, and Lin Han rolled his eyes as he looked at the guy's back.
"What about the new MVP? It looks quite interesting"
After PJ Brown left, Lin Han lay on the bed in his hotel room and felt a little fluttering in his mind. After all, this season's finals, the biggest honor that Lin Han could win this year is about to get.
It is very important in terms of reality or systemic sense.
"I don't know what level of the system's ratings in this year's finals? Golden, silver, or purple and gold?"
When Lin Han thought of this, he was also a little excited. In the first game, he scored 50 points in three quarters. He scored 50 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks and 3 steals. In the second game, he scored 38 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks and 3 steals. In the third game, he scored 20 points, 31 rebounds, 18 assists, 8 blocks, 8 steals. His current position,
30+10+7+4+4, such a performance in the finals can be ranked in the top ten even if it doesn’t rank in the top five in the history of NBA.
"But it may be difficult to get a purple and golden reward with this data."
When Lin Han thought about this, he thought secretly. It can be said that the MVP in the finals has been confirmed. Lin Han, a player who has always said in the media that he will never swipe data. At this time, for the higher-level rewards of the system, he is already crazy about how to swipe data.
Judging from Lin Han’s current average data, if you want to get a higher level, there are three directions: one is 40+10, one is a triple-double per game, and the other is 5x5. Let’s talk about 40+10 first. Currently, Lin Han averages 36 points per game. If you want to average 40 points per game, you need to score 48 points in the last game!
With Lin Han's scoring ability, it is not difficult to score 48 points in a game. It is just imagined that with the Knicks' defensive strength against Lin Han, as long as Lin Han really dares to score, the efficiency will probably not be high. In this case, Malone is still questioned about being scored by the media and fans because of his low scoring efficiency in the last game. Naturally, Lin Han cannot follow in his footsteps.
As for the triple-double per game, what Lin Han lacks now is assists. So far, if Lin Han wants to average double-double per game in assists, he will have to score 17 assists in the fourth game!
With 17 assists, for Lin Han, this data requires Lin Han to play the point guard again, and he still needs to cheat his teammates!
However, you can't always pull the wool on a sheep, so Lin Han can't kill Ma Long in this game. After all, in Lin Han's heart, Ma Long is still his future younger brother. He can't pull Ma Long's wool off and get rid of it. It's just that there is no such an excellent scoring player as Ma Long. Lin Han used Marbury to make assists and assists to make 17 assists in a game, which is also a bit difficult. Or if he really wants to make it, I'm afraid that his other teammates will be ruined by Lin Han in this game.
Let’s talk about the last 5x5 data. If you want to achieve this data, Lin Han will have to get 7 steals and more than 6 blocks in the last game, which is also a very difficult data to achieve. After all, with Lin Han’s crazy steals and blocks against the Knicks players in the last quarter of the last game, how could the Knicks players not make any arrangements for Lin Han’s steals and assisting defense in this game?
In this case, as long as any NBA player really pays attention to protecting the ball and pays attention to his own shooting, it is basically difficult to steal and block the shot. After all, this is NBA and this is NBA finals. No one is garbage, and no one is really stupid [fork]. So, it is not difficult to watch 7 steals and 6 blocks, in fact, this event is actually the most difficult and least controlled by the players.
Lin Han wants to score points and can control it himself. At most, he can throw it to forty or fifty times and always get 48 points. Although the assist is not easy to control, as long as he lets go of his compassion and unbearableness. He can also do it if he cheats his teammates a few more times, and steals and blocks. This is not something Lin Han can control himself, and the opponent needs to cooperate.
So, when I think of this, Lin Han also had a headache. It seems that the simplest way to average triple-double per game is not that easy. Therefore, this also made Lin Han admire Jordan and the Magic. One was that he almost scored a triple-double in the playoffs for the first time in his career and led the team to win the championship. The other was that he faced the league's triple-double in the finals, and scored a quasi-double per game. In the end, he almost scored a triple-double per game in the finals.
Jordan entered the finals for the first time and played a triple-double against the Magician. It was a big story in the league. He defeated the Magician with the Magician's strongest weapon and took over the King of Balls' flag from the King of Balls in one fell swoop. And it also convinced the King of Balls' loss.
Of course. At this time, Lin Han was thinking in the hotel room about how to play against the Knicks today to make his system score look more beautiful. After the team has basically confirmed the victory, Lin Han's choice is indeed correct. Although Lin Han's data now looks amazing, quasi-triple-double, quasi-5x4, and quasi-40+10, no matter how beautiful it is, the actual data is only 30+10, although it is already very good. But it is definitely not enough for purple and gold.
Lin Han is now worried about the quality of the MVP in the finals, the fourth game of the NBA Finals has attracted a lot of attention from the league.
Especially as the most popular player in the league now and even recognized as the first player in the future, how could no one pay attention to such a major event as Lin Han will be crowned the championship for the first time in his career?
Not to mention that many Salt Lake City fans have rushed to New York after the Jazz's three consecutive victories, even many American big-name stars have gathered in New York.
As the influence of the NBA increases, this stage has become a stage for stars from all walks of life in the United States to find new exposure. In recent times, Lakers fans have become a little dissatisfied with the more and more stars appearing at home. These stars not only speculate on tickets for good seats at home so that ordinary fans can't afford to sit up at all, but also destroy the atmosphere of the home court. The investment in these guys' game has always been a problem. Although the Lakers are one of the two major clubs in the NBA, when it comes to home atmosphere, the atmosphere of the Lakers has been getting worse day after the Magician's time.
However, as a business alliance, NBA cannot refuse such commercialization and the integration of interests between the two parties. After all, although it means that stars want to use this stage to expose themselves, NBA also needs free promotion of these stars, and it seems to be mutually beneficial and win-win at the moment.
"The tickets in New York are so expensive that you can't afford them at all. The lowest ticket price is as high as $588. Is it so scary? The best middle seat in the center of Delta is less than $60 even in the finals! The ticket price in the best position in the middle of Madison Square is more than $2,000, which is 20 times that of the center of Delta!"
"What's the point of 20 times? The key now is that you need to have a ticket. If we had known that the Knicks fans would not give us the votes, we shouldn't have come here to get angry."
"What does it mean to be angry?! We are now going to become the NBA champion team. Even without our on-site support, the Jazz can still beat the Knicks in this game. I am full of confidence in Carl, John and Lin!"
On June 17, 1994, at 7 o'clock in the evening, there was still an hour before the start of the game. However, at this time, the outside of Madison Square was already full of people. However, unlike in the past, today's game was strange that there were not many fans outside the stadium, but most of the fans of the Jazz.
However, this is also easy to understand. After a large number of Jazz fans who came from Salt Lake City came to New York, they found that Nima could not enter the game at all. Not only was the expensive ticket price so that these Americans were crying, but they finally decided to spend a high price to buy tickets to support the team, but in the end they found that the Knicks fans would not give up the tickets.
"Let Salt Lake City people occupy Madison Square and celebrate the championship on our territory? Don't even think about it!"
"Yes, even if we tore all the tickets, we won't sell them!"
Even if you tore up hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of tickets, you won't sell them to Jazz fans. This has almost become the theme of New York fans in the past two days. These rich fans are really not short of money. For them, the most important thing now is that they can't make Lin Han and the Jazz team feel refreshed, regardless of the outcome of this game. Just see Lin Han and the Knicks being defeated.
"Luckily Allen got four tickets from Linhan, otherwise we wouldn't have entered the game at all."
When Iverson brought his family into Madison Square half an hour before the start of the game, the expression on Allen Iverson's face was a little bit unnatural.
Although his two sisters didn't seem to have noticed anything at this time, the two little sisters were probably the first time they watched the NBA finals. After entering the court, they were really chattering and talking nonstop. However, at this time Iverson and his mother's face were really not so natural at this time.
"Bulanti, Lisa. Be quieter, Buluni, hug Lisa well. Remember, you are an older sister!"
Looking at the extremely unkind eyes that were coming around, Iverson's mother Anne Iverson said to her two daughters with a little embarrassed look. At this time, Iverson saw these unkind eyes. Doesn't her look look good?
Although sitting with these rich people in bright clothes is indeed a bit inferior, Iverson is not a person who is prone to weakness.
"How did these guys come in? One ticket in the front row has been sold for more than 20,000 US dollars. Look at the poor look they are wearing, can they afford it?"
"Yes, it's not stolen."
When Iverson and his family sat down in the front row, the fans next to him soon cast bad looks.
Although Iverson is a young genius with national influence in the United States due to this year's All-Star Rookie Game, for these "fans" sitting in the front row, not to mention knowing who Iverson is, I am afraid that even the names of the starting players of both teams on both sides of this game are not as good as a few. Iverson is considered a ball at this time.
Faced with the natural distrust of black people in the American society, it is nothing to say that Iverson's ticket was stolen. At this time, in the United States, almost everyone in a black child was told by their parents to never play with toy guns outside. If they were seen by some policemen with strong racial concepts, they deserved it even if they were beaten to death.
Black people, whether they are adults or not, are just the difference between criminals and preparatory criminals in many people.
"Allen, don't be impulsive. Have you forgotten what happened a year ago now?!"
Seeing that Iverson was about to roll up his sleeves and fuck him here, Anne Iverson on the side really couldn't stand it. Finally, Iverson finally entered Georgetown University with Lin Han's help. If such a thing happened again now, it would be really over.
Fortunately, Iverson's anger was indeed much less at this time, so he finally endured it.
"Hmph, sooner or later I will let you know who I am!"
Although Iverson gave up on his intention to take action, he glanced at the people around him viciously and thought secretly in his heart with gritted teeth.
In fact, the same thing happened to Garnett not far away. This young insider with a bad temper was also severely stunned by the extremely bad eyes of some Knicks fans on the scene. Fortunately, his good friend, Ronnie Fields, the leader of the three major high school students in the United States, was a calm person, and also stopped him.
If Garnett or Iverson had started fighting in Madison Square before the start of this game, Lin Han, who was the party who gave the ticket, would be embarrassed.
When he gave the ticket to these two little guys, he never thought that such a thing would happen.
However, it is obvious that a black boy in ordinary clothes was watching the ball in the front row of Madison Square with a ticket worth more than 20,000 US dollars. This is not normal, right?
However, when the game was about to begin, when Lin Han smiled with the Jazz players with a smile amid the crazy booing of the Knicks fans throughout the game, he had never thought about the encounter between Iverson and Garnett at Madison Square at this time.
In fact, at this time, Lin Han and other Jazz players had basically put all their energy into the game.
Especially Lin Han, since he has decided how to perform in this game, although many people think that the Knicks have no fighting spirit anymore. The Jazz have already won, Lin Han is still very focused.
To be continued...
