The weather in Utah in June 1994 is slowly getting hotter. As a small state with a small area backing in the United States, it is a typical temperate continental climate. It is already a bit hot and dry from June, until it reaches its peak in July, and now it is the tail of June, and it is about to come to July. So in the past two days, Salt Lake City has gradually become hot, especially after the Utah Jazz won the championship, it has even increased the popularity of this. Even Utah, who has always been cold to outsiders, has smiled on its face when facing some tourists or outsiders.

Although it has been two days since the Jazz's championship, the enthusiasm of fans in Salt Lake City in Utah has not yet dissipated. It can even be said that it has just begun. Under this circumstance, the entire Utah state is constantly heating up with the temperature rising.

The team won the championship and the fans were so enthusiastic, which was originally a very good thing for the Jazz, but as the head coach of the Jazz, Jerry Sloan, could not be happy at this time.

Because although the team won the championship, the problems encountered did not disappear because of the team's championship. Even because of the team's championship, the team's contradictions became more prominent. Yes, because of the team's championship, the contradictions within the team became more prominent, and they had even reached the point of tension.

Thinking of the fact that after Malone and Stockton came to their office to show off with him not long ago, the Jazz coach who was thinking about how to make up for the relationship between the three bigwigs in the team found that he was naive and really a little naive.

The world has already known the opposition between Lin Han and Malone in the finals. It is also clearer within the Jazz than outside. Everyone in the Jazz knows that Mar Long and Malone are not just the MVP battle in the finals, but more importantly, the team boss battle.

The battle between the boss of the team. This is not rare in NBA. As long as one team has two stars. When these two stars are close and they want to be bosses, when neither side accepts each other, they can only use the competition to decide who wins and who loses. This is actually very easy to understand. As for the specific method of fighting, there are all kinds of strange things, but as long as both sides agree, it is enough. Therefore, Lin Han and Ma Long use this year's finals as the stage, and who will win the finals first MVP is the king of the team. Although the two did not say it explicitly and did not specify any rules, this is almost the default thing for both sides, and it is also something that the Jazz team knows from the boss to the players.

As the team's head coach Jerry Sloan is naturally very clear. He even helped Malone in a biased manner, but in the end, Malone was too bad in the third game between the two sides, which made Malone, who scored 29 points and 13 rebounds in the finals, missed the MVP in the finals. Since Malone missed the MVP in the finals. Lin Han won the MVP in the finals, the struggle between the two was over.

According to the NBA rules, since the final battle is lost, there are two choices, either obey the winner, be the second in the team, or still disobey and apply for a deal from the team. This kind of thing is definitely not uncommon in the NBA. After the fight between Jordan and Pippen, Pippen chose to surrender under Jordan's tenderness. Although Jabbar did not choose the so-called surrender in the face of the magician's huge tactical value, he also chose to sacrifice his own tactical value. If Jabbar did not sacrifice his own tactical value, the Lakers can play the most gorgeous show-time with the center as the core? That is impossible. The center can be said to be powerful. But it is not as gorgeous as

If the center is really gorgeous, David Stern will not reform again and again. The era of Chamberlain and Russell would not be called the Dark Age. The competition between the Bulls and Lakers dynasties ended in the first way, so the final achievements of the team made everyone know their deeds. The teams that ultimately could not compromise due to internal strife of the team superstars and eventually fell apart naturally in the achievements. Most of the teams have fallen into the history of the NBA and will never remember many people. The most famous ones recently are naturally the internal strife of the Warriors, and even the internal strife of this team is almost exactly the same as the Jazz.

The Warriors are absent for a long time this season, and the second and third leaders are reimbursed for the season, so several young players on the team have risen strongly in the team. Although Spreville and Chris Webber are second, especially Webber, they are the best as soon as they score the team. I am the best. You all serve me well. They directly face the team's head coach, who is also extremely tough. However, if it is just a problem with the players and coaches, then this problem is absolutely not serious. The key is

, because the team's boss, the second boss, and the third boss were absent for a long time, Spreeville and Webber performed well again. In this case, they naturally have to go to the position. If it weren't for Lin Han, Webber would be the favorite of the best rookie this year. If it weren't for Lin Han Spreeville, Spreeville would be selected into the first team as a sophomore. In this case, a first-team shooting guard and a best rookie power forward. When these two people were thinking about getting on the position, what should Chris Mullin, Tim Hardaway and others do?

What else can I do? If neither side condones, then just start working. As a superstar of the Dream Team, Chris Mullin could give up the position of the boss when he was just 31 years old. Spreeville once pressed Chris Mullin, who had recovered from injury, to the bench in a direct position competition. In this case, how could this middle school boy surrender to a boss who looks weaker than him? Even if it weren't for Old Nelson's final creation of a one-to-one and four-small so that Mullin and Spreeville could play at the same time, the team would have played long ago. Even if it didn't start playing in the end, the Warriors still did not calm down after the end of this year's playoffs.

Young players led by Spreville and Webber are fighting against the team's veterans. Of course, like the Jazz, the head coach of the team, Nelson, naturally supports the team's veterans. From the perspective of the head coach, the head coach generally favors the veterans. This is certain that veterans and newcomers are in the middle, after all, the relationship is there. Moreover, most veterans also grew up from young people, and the team's head coach also looks at these former young people growing up. How could they abandon them because they are old and not as valuable as those young people. Of course, this is the choice of the coaches, and the choice of the team will definitely be different, which depends on the size of the city.

Isn't the problems of Lin Han, Malone and Stockton exactly the same? Because the veteran gives opportunities, young people are growing up too quickly. They are faster than everyone's expectations and have even suppressed the team's veteran boss. In this case, conflicts arise naturally. For other NBA players, most players who are 31 years old have gradually entered the late stage of their peak, and have even reached the end of their careers. For example, although Chris Mullin is the former superstar of the Dream Team, he is a superstar of the dream team.

, but because of a serious injury this season, his strength is definitely far inferior. Even if it weren't for the support of Old Nelson in the match, he would have lost terriblely and was directly pressed on the bench. In this case, he would not be willing to give up the team's position to Spreeville or Weber. Then, isn't Malone losing a MVP in the Finals? The regular season MVP is still his. In fact, Malone doesn't think he is already at the point of becoming the second-place team.

For the two Jazz veterans, Malone and Stockton, the physical condition of these two men is completely different from that of Chris Mullin or other veterans. The physical condition of these two training madmen has not given anyone any decline in physical function after they reach the age of 30. In this case, Mullin is not as good as Stockton and Malone. In terms of strength, it is even more incomparable now. In terms of physical fitness, it is even worse than that of Chris Mullin. Even Chris Mullin can't give way so calmly. Want to make Malone willing to attack Lin Han because of a little frustration? Go dreaming.

So, thinking about the requests from Malone and Stockton not long ago, Jerry Sloan was really helpless at this time. The Jazz are now like entering a complete deadlock.

With his excellent performance in the finals, Lin Han thought that he had already determined the team's position as the boss, and the next step was to get Stockton's leader. Moreover, in the last two games of the finals, although Lin Han was still anxious, he had two triple-doubles with his somewhat poor passing ability. Obviously, Lin Han was already paving the way for him to grab Stockton's ball rights.

As for Malone, after losing to Lin Han in the finals, he never thought of becoming Lin Han's auxiliary player. Now he is at his peak, especially after the baptism of the finals, Malone even felt that if he was given another chance, he would not lose to Lin Han! This player who played 30+20 in the last game of the finals, the most terrifying inside data of the NBA in the past 10 years, does not think that it is time to give up his honor.

Everyone knows that as long as you are willing to be the second in the team, all honors will be lost with him. Lin Han is not a magician, and he will not retain the so-called honorary boss for Jabbar. Lin Han's hunger for honor made Malone know very clearly that he could not coexist with Lin Han like Kareem and the magician. Lin Han is full of hunger for honor, and Malone is the same!

Now that he has won the championship, the next step is to get more personal honors based on the championship to enrich his career and ultimately establish himself as a better historical position than Barkley!

If Barkley is the boss of a team and he becomes the second-team, what can he win more championships? Like Pippen? This season has been like this. In the eyes of those media experts, even the first vote of MVP is owed. Olajuwon can have almost 40 first votes, but unlike Pippen, who is not inferior to Olajuwon, is only one-tenth of him!

The difference in status determines the difference in honor. Malone cannot help Lin Han at this time. He even needs Lin Han to help him for a while. For this reason, he even showed up with the team's head coach and asked Jerry Sloan to give him a clear answer, who does this team belong to and what position Lin Han is in. He can no longer allow Lin Han to steal his control over the team like this from this year's finals!

Stockton is even simpler. When Lin Han put his hand in front of him after defeating Malone, how could he sit and wait for death?

The competition between Ma Long and Lin Han is a competition for the team boss. The tactical conflict between Lin Han and Ma Long is actually not big, it is more of a status dispute. Even if Ma Long loses the battle for the competition, he will lose. If he is willing, he can stay and assist Lin Han with peace of mind. However, Stockton is different. The battle between him and Lin Han is really a life-and-death battle. If he fails, then he will directly lose his tactical status in the team!

In the NBA, a superstar player will always lose his tactical status. For example, Moses Malone is now in the 76ers' position as a superstar, and has no tactical value. He can only be considered a state of retirement after spending his last few contracts. Everyone will face this step, but how does Stockton compare with Moses Malone? Malone is not in his year of playing, and Stockton is also in his peak year. This year, he just won the assist king as a record average assist in the NBA season and entered a while, making him a shooter who can only dribble through the half-court, and finally stands on the side and waits for Lin Han to pass the ball?!

How is this possible? In the past, Lin Han had no tactical discipline on the court, which made Lin Han and Stockton's ball rights allocation very vague. As Lin Han's strength continues to improve, this vague ball rights allocation makes Stockton very difficult to deal with, because the head coach did not give a clear solution, so Lin Han could arbitrarily compress his space and role on the court, and even the last two games of the finals had completely deprived Stockton's ball rights!

If Malone now asks Jerry Sloan to give him a specific answer, who the team belongs to, then the reply Stockton asked for is very simple. Who is the ball's right to listen to, and whether Lin Han should be a free man without any tactical constraints!

These are two very realistic requirements for Malone and Stockton. They are also two very easy to understand. For the championship, they can both endure all Lin Han’s behavior on the court. When the championship is won, everyone’s biggest pursuit will naturally be different. Selfishness will inevitably overwhelm the public spirit, which is normal.

It was just that he asked Malone and Stockton to tell Lin Han that he asked Lin Han to give in to Marlon last time. Lin Han heard this, which made Jalone feel a little sorry for Lin Han, and he was also very moved. But this time, he could still say that Lin Han would help Marlon and Stockton with peace of mind for a few years. When they were no longer able, you would take the opportunity to take the lead. Can Lin Han do it?

This is the requirement of Malone and Stockton and the team's original design, that is, Lin Han is the only successor of the team. When he takes over Ma Long and Stockton in the future, because a player like Lin Han is really important to the Jazz.

Imagine Bru Edwards who left last season. A new star who is not so high in level, just star potential, doesn't look down on the Jazz. He would rather go to the Bucks than stay in the Jazz. It would be too difficult to be a player like Lin Han who is stronger and more willing to stay in the team for a long time.

Therefore, even if Lin Han is not so strong, as long as Lin Han is willing, the Jazz are willing to give him a lifetime contract. It is obvious that if Lin Han said this to Lin Han at this time, when Lin Han was most proud, let him stay with the team to assist Marlon and Stockton for a few years, not only would Jerry Sloan not be able to say anything, but Lin Han would not agree.

Therefore, after Malone and Stockton left, Jerry Sloan thought about it for a headache and quickly reported the team's problems that have appeared again to the team's boss and informed the team's general manager Scott Rayden.

For the team's boss, Miller, this is the most proud time in his life, especially Lin Han's words at the team's championship celebration made him put down all the stones in his heart.

But now, Old Miller, who finally thought the team's internal strife had passed, also found himself a little naive.

Whether it is Jerry Sloan, Old Miller or Rayden, neither of them is a fool. Stockton and Malone's request is equivalent to a showdown against Lin Han. If Lin Han still wants to play the two of them on the court like last season, he can play whatever they want. Then everyone will say goodbye directly. In other words, if Lin Han is unwilling to assist Maron and Stockton, then the team will make a choice, should they keep them or Lin Han?

In fact, under this situation, Lin Han could not follow the team's arrangements to assist these two people. Just like Spreeville, he had already defeated the old boss of the team. Why should he obey the old Nelson's words and wait strangely? Even Spreeville can't do something Lin Han can do?

Therefore, although the most perfect idea in the Jazz management three giants is that Lin Han first assisted the two elders for a few years and then successfully took over the position, he did not dare to mention this to Lin Han after Lin Han took the FMVP.

Now the whole world is comparing Lin Han with Jordan with Magician Chamberlain and other football kings. Lin Han's ambition has become obvious. Has anyone seen any football king who will attack others for several years? Even Lin Han's performance in his first year of rookie is better than these football kings, and he will do this unless Lin Han's head gets into the water.

So, such a simple thing could not be imagined by Malone. Could Stockton not have thought of it? Since I knew that Lin Han could not help them, why did I still ask for it like this? Obviously, the two Jazz elders didn’t really want Lin Han to stay, but directly issued an order to expel the guest!

They didn't want the team management to ask Lin Han what his opinion was, but the two of them wanted the team to tell them who this team belongs to!

"What should I do? What should I do? What should I do if you think I am in my heart?!"

When the three Jazz's management giants were frowning, Jerry Sloan, the team's head coach, was even anxious to jump straight into the team's general manager's office.

After winning the championship, Malone and Stockton felt that they could succeed without Lin Han, and even more successful. Anyway, even if they failed in the end, they had no worries. For a higher achievement, they could only abandon Lin Han, who could not be their younger brother, and Jerry Sloan could not do it. As a head coach, how could they abandon a player like Lin Han?

Even though Malone and Stockton may be able to lead the team to success, the team already has a successful lineup, so why should we break up?

I just don’t want to lose Lin Han. Should I lose Stockton and Malone? How can the team build a championship lineup for Lin Han after losing these two? Not to mention the money issue, the key is that there are a few truly powerful players who are willing to come to Salt Lake City, which is enough for them to have a pot of fun. It is too difficult to build a championship lineup around Lin Han. Old Miller does not have such financial resources, and the Jazz does not have such an attractiveness. Therefore, Malone and Stockton have never thought about leaving such a thing.

"Jerry. Calm down, let's go and ask Lin for advice now."

Finally, as the team's boss, Old Miller said with a somewhat ugly face, asking for Lin Han's opinion? Although the Jazz boss doesn't want to believe it, he already knows what the final answer is.

"Maybe Lin Han will agree?"

At this time, after Scott Rayden finished speaking, he even smiled bitterly.

......

......

Recently, Lin Han is in a really good mood. Although he is still struggling with whether he wants to designate a special lottery with talent, after the team won the championship and won the final MVP, Lin Han's career has almost reached an extremely bright situation. At this time, Lin Han was already thinking that Malone and Stockton would help him to compete with Jordan and Olajuwon next season. He also thought that he won the championship again after the Jazz team succeeded again, and also won the regular season MVP.

According to Lin Han's imagination, although Jordan's upcoming comeback brought some pressure to Lin Han, this pressure is not great. Jordan has Pippen and Grant, he has Malone and Stockton, who is afraid of whom?!

Of course, recently, Lin Han has been staying at home and has a smile on his face recently, which makes Lin Han's family very happy, especially Lin Han's younger sister and second sister. Because Lin Han looks happy, they are naturally happy. Moreover, Lin Han's achievements over the past period of time are even those of them who don't pay attention to NBA and basketball. His younger brother and brother have become the most popular figures in the United States and the focus of the United States. Even the US President himself often mentions Lin Han for some time. What a proud thing this is?

Not to mention that Lin Han’s second sister and younger sister are very happy, even Lin Han’s eldest sister has been very happy recently.

"What's wrong with brother? I was very happy when I went out. Why did I look very unhappy after I came back?!"

This afternoon, Lin Han stayed at home to watch TV with his second sister and younger sister at home as usual. Suddenly, he received a call from the team's head coach to go to the team. When Lin Han left, Lin Wei and Lin Yu didn't think too much, but just over an hour later. When Lin Han came back, Lin Han's expression was completely different at this time!

This made Lin Han’s second sister and younger sister confused.

It was not until the next day. On June 21, 1994, when Lin Han’s news was on the front page of almost all major, medium and small media outlets across the United States, Lin Han’s second sister and younger sister knew what was going on in Lin Han!

"There's a turn? A fierce quarrel came from the Jazz head coach's office, and Lin Hanslom was there!"

"The jazz's internal strife has started again. Lin Hanslom's office scolded each other for half an hour, and the two were suspected of breaking up?!"

"Lin Han or Malone, Jerry Sloan decided to suppress Lin Han?!"

"Marlon Stockton is suspected to have a showdown, and the Jazz are facing a choice!"

"Lakes general manager Jerry West had flew to Salt Lake City overnight last night. Someone saw him appearing at the Jazz Boss' home!"

"The Lakers acted in advance, and many teams in the league have begun to seek the possibility of trading Lin Han. The Trail Blazers are the first to take action, and the New York Knicks are also joining the battle?! Pat Riley said Lin Han is a great player!"

When Jazz fans in Salt Lake City and Utah got up early in the morning and looked at the newspapers they subscribed to at home that were almost none of the newspapers about the Jazz winning the Jazz and the toast about Lin Han and the toast about the Jazz, replaced by news about Lin Han and Jerry Sloan suspected of arguing in the office, almost all Jazz fans in Utah were lost for a moment!

The news that Lin Han and Jerry Sloan quarreled in the office for more than half an hour was not only shocked the fans of the Jazz team who were enjoying the atmosphere of winning the championship. Even fans of other NBA teams or other NBA teams were almost shocked, and almost all of them were crazy after the shock!

If the internal strife between Lin Han and Malone seemed to have disappeared due to Lin Han's success and Malone's failure to accept, then now, when Lin Han and Jerry Sloan had a quarrel in the office were heard by almost a large number of Jazz staff at that time. And when they were immediately reported the next day, the words about Lin Han's previous championship celebration were not so credible, or if Ma Long surrendered and Lin Han won, this is just Lin Han's personal opinion, that Ma Long had never surrendered at all!

In this case, Lin Han and Jerry Sloan had an argument, what does this mean, which means that Jerry Sloan is more inclined to support Malone. And whose will does Jerry Sloan represent? It is obviously the will of the Jazz!

Under such circumstances, the competition between Lin Han and Malone suddenly changed like this. Will Lin Han accept the Jazz's arrangement? Obviously, if he really accepts such arrangement, there will be no quarrel!

If the Jazz's matter is not resolved in the end, then for other teams in the entire league, the best opportunity to compete for Lin Han will come!

Under such circumstances, when Lin Han and Jerry Sloan's office quarrel happened, almost all the general managers of NBA major and medium-sized teams gathered in Salt Lake City!

You should know that although many teams know that they are not qualified to get Lin Han and that they can get no more than 5 teams in the league, it doesn’t matter if they can’t get Lin Han. With Lin Han’s strength and his ultra-low salary of 1.1 million US dollars, no team in the league can exchange Lin Han one-on-one. In this case, multi-party transactions will be inevitable, and it also gives those teams that are not qualified to get Lin Han. They see hope of getting a bargain!

After all, who is Lin Han? Lin Han is now recognized as the first player in the future league in the NBA. How could such a player have no chance to trade in a deal?

Of course, when Lin Han and Jerry Sloan had a mysterious quarrel in the office, the entire United States, the NBA and the entire Salt Lake City were in full bloom.

However, as the party involved, Lin Han was invited by Kal Malone to visit his home on the evening of June 21.

Lin Han was full of anger at this time. He really didn't think that Ma Long would do such a thing. It would be fine if he lost and refused to admit it. This guy not only refused to admit it, but also made such a showdown to the team. How could Lin Han bear it?!

If Ma Long did not admit defeat this time, as the winner, in order to recover this very powerful younger brother, Lin Han. He thought that his strength could make Ma Long admit defeat again. If it doesn’t work once, then it doesn’t matter. Zhuge Wuhou also captured Meng Huo seven times, and Lin Han could do it! It’s obvious that Ma Long’s showdown with the team was not prepared to give Lin Han another chance to defeat him, but forced the team to assign the clear status of the three of them, that is, Ma Long didn’t want to give Lin Han a chance to compete with him again, or the former boss of this team had never thought about being a younger brother to Lin Han, but wanted Lin Han to be a younger brother to him, and even the team had the same idea!

Under such circumstances, in Lin Han's heart, Ma Long's image collapsed almost instantly, and the anger in Lin Han's heart can be imagined!

So, when Lin Han came to Ma Long's house, the two little sisters in Ma Long's house rushed towards Lin Han as usual, looking at Lin Han, who was looking at the dark-faced Lin Han. The two beautiful little sisters were so scared that they cried directly. Ma Long's wife Ms. Kingsley looked at Lin Han, Ma Long and Stockton's faces, and sighed and took away the two little sisters who were frightened by Lin Han.

"What, I don't dare to see anyone anymore. I want to buy me with Kelly and Carly."

After Ma Long's wife left with two sisters-in-law Liang, looking at Ma Long with an embarrassing look, Lin Han took out a can of drink from Ma Long's refrigerator and sat down on the sofa in the living room of Ma Long's home and said to Ma Long with a uglier expression.

"Lin, don't do this, you know, I won't do this."

"Haha, I won't do this. Why do you guys always do things that dare not do, and you want me to call you a coward or a soft man?"

When Ma Long was about to explain something, Lin Han threw the drink in his hand to the ground and almost roared to Ma Long. After Lin Han finished speaking, Ma Long's face changed a lot. Not to mention Ma Long, even Stockton on one side looked a little bad.
To be continued...
