Chapter 294 You can never beat me!
(Please comment and subscribe!)
"Before this game, the Jazz's pre-season performance was eight games and eight wins, while the Lakers lost all eight games and lost 18 points per game, and almost every game was a crushing defeat. After the Lakers used the team's elite player trade to get Lin Han, the team looked worse than last season. When the fans of the entire Los Angeles Lakers regretted that the team traded with Lin Han, and when Lin Han returned to Salt Lake City for the first time as a visiting player, the opposite of what happened in Los Angeles was that when Lin Han returned this time, the entire Salt Lake City gave the former Jazz player a very high courtesy!"
The new NBA season started on November 2. Although on the first day of the NBA, it was not just the Jazz and Lakers, but also some other focus games, such as the Spurs, whose lineup changed a lot, against the Warriors who eliminated them, the Rockets faced the Supersonics, which were hacked last season, and even the focus battle between New York and the Pacers. It can be said that although there was no match between Jordan and the Bulls today, the number of focus battles is still very large. However, it is obvious that although the NBA has many focus games on the opening day, compared with the Lakers and Jazz games, it is really a small witch!
When the first game of the new season began, as a broadcaster of NBA, ABC could be said to have almost abandoned other games. The entire NBA opener of the "Chang-Feng" literature topics and focus were all on the Lakers and Jazz, as usual. Generally speaking, on the first day of the new season, although the popular teams of NBA are also popular teams. If it is a TV station, of course they will put more resources on the popular teams, which is understandable. However, in many cases, even if they focus on the popular teams, they will often pretend to distribute some resources to other teams. Although the whole world can see that this is a arch, no matter what, even if they deliberately pretend to set up a arch, it is a arch.
On the first day of this season, ABC didn't even stand up. In three live broadcast games across the United States, ABC's NBA special topics before the game were almost all about the Jazz and Lakers, and even when the topics of these two teams began, they even started directly when Lakers players got off the plane.
When Lin Han and Lakers players appeared in the broadcasting camera of ABC, the pick-up and cheers of Lin Han by thousands of fans around the airport were indeed enough to shock many people. After all, although Lin Han is a very special player, he is extremely popular in the Jazz and Salt Lake City, he left this season after all. In this case, generally NBA fans rarely have Lin Han’s situation in dealing with superstars who leave their team.
So, before this game started, when a large number of Jazz fans appeared in the ABC studio to pick up Lin Han, almost the guests invited to the entire hall were exclaiming. Most of these guests were former NBA players, and they knew how difficult it was to happen like this.
"I have to say that anyone who sees such a scene will be extremely envious and jealous of Lin Han. He has only played for a year in the Jazz team, but he has become the most special player in the history of the Jazz team. This is really enviable."
"Envying and jealous? Haha, Adrian If you can win a championship for the Jazz and be able to beat the great Knicks alone in the finals, you can also get such treatment, but can you? Although I don't like Lin Han, there is no doubt that even if he only played for a season with the Jazz, if I were asked to select who the Jazz's greatest player is, I would definitely choose him. If it weren't for him, the championship last season must be the Knicks'.
Although Jordan is an idiot, there is a saying that I agree very much. Lin Han is unique to the Jazz, and the Jazz is unique to Lin Han. The Jazz made a stupid decision, and Lin Han also made an idiot decision. So, I am very much looking forward to the fall of both the Jazz and Lin Han this season. Didn’t you ask me not long ago who would win the championship this year? There is no doubt that the New York Knicks!"
Although it was very miserable last season by the Jazz in the Finals, as the Knicks' legend, Willis Reed, the league's No. 1 Lin Hei, was really humiliated by Lin Han last season. If the Knicks fans hated the most after losing last season, the Knicks fans hated the most was Spike Lee, then the second person ranked second in the New York Knicks fans hated the most was this New York Knicks legend. He and Willis Reed were called the two most important people who angered Lin Han to change the situation in the finals. In this case, after the end of last season, whether it was Spike Lee or Willis Reed, they really did not dare to come out to see people. Knowing that at the beginning of this season, the Knicks fans' resentment towards these two disappeared a lot, they dared to show up.
However, it is obvious that Willis Reed has been much more low-key in this appearance, and it seems that he hasn't even looked darker. However, as long as this guy finished speaking, the disdain for Lin Han, the Jazz and the Lakers between the lines is almost clearly visible. The same is true for his disdain for singles King Dantley. In this case, these two Jazz and Knicks legends almost started to take action in the first live broadcast of the new season. You must know that Lin Han is no longer a Jazz player at this time.
Fortunately, these two celebrities also knew that this was the first game of the NBA new season, and it didn't seem to be very good to start, so they finally held back, which made the hosts on the scene breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, the focus of the Jazz and Lakers today is not that these two celebrities are taking action for Lin Han again, nor is it that they predict the Jazz's results this season, the Lakers' results this season or the victory or defeat of this game, because there is no need to predict it at all. The Jazz is still the favorite of the championship this year, and the Lakers are the last favorite in the league. The two teams meet at the Jazz's home court, and it is the first game when the Jazz awarded the championship ring. How could the Jazz lose at its own home court? So, there is nothing to discuss at all.
The only thing we can discuss now is that before this game, the Jazz's player Malone said that he would do his best in this game. With the strength of the Lakers' current inside player, when Malone goes all out, how many points can Malone get in this game? Obviously, Malone's meaning is already very obvious, and he is ready to split with Lin Hanbiao in this game. The same goes for Lin Han faces Malone's challenge before the start of this game, and his opponent is Steve Smith, the Jazz's new potential player who replaced him. In this case, Lin Han naturally cannot refuse Malone's challenge.
So, after the live studio played the battle between Lin Han and Ma Long on the big screen, the experts on the scene were also excited.
Although in NBA, the kingly way is always a team, and personal offense or a stake is often evil, just like NBA fans like to watch Biao Points, for most NBA players, players who can score are absolutely excited about the Biao Point drama of the two teams. At least, whether it is Lin Han or Malone, it is a player who can score more than 60 points in a game.
However, it is obvious. For most people, Lin Han was the scoring champion of the league last season. One of the biggest favorites in scoring champions this season. Malone is indeed not as good as Lin Han in terms of scoring ability, but the opponents Malone faces today are really Aron Williams or Antonio Harvey whom Malone can almost be tortured to death as long as Malone is willing. As for the players in the Jazz No. 2 and 3 positions facing Lin Han, whether it is Russell or Steve Smith, they are all players above the league's level on the defensive end. In this case, even if Lin Han is indeed higher than Malone in scoring ability, it is hard to say how many points Lin Han can score in this game and how many points Lin Han can score higher than Malone.
And more importantly, no matter how many points Lin Han scored in this game, the Lakers could not defeat the Jazz. It can be said that Malone has an absolute advantage. Even if Ma Longbiao loses to Lin Han, as long as the Jazz can defeat the Lakers, even if Lin Han scores more points, the winner will definitely not be Lin Han!
"No matter how Lin Han and Malone perform in this game, Malone will be the only winner."
When experts in the live studio argued over how many points Lin Han and Malone scored in the game, as a New York celebrity, Willis Reed, who has been very low-key recently, said with a sarcastic smile. After Willis Reed finished speaking sarcastically, all the other experts who were still arguing about Lin Han and Malone were silent, including the Jazz legend and Lin Han's dead-shot Dantley.
No matter how Lin Han and Malone perform and score in this game, Malone will be the only winner. Willis Reed directly explained the reason why Malone challenged Lin Han. With his strength, no matter what Lin Han performs, as long as the Jazz can win, Malone will not lose to Lin Han. I have to say that this is indeed a bit ironic. As a defending champion, even if he challenges his younger brothers, the key is a clumsy method that anyone can see!
This is the pattern. In many cases, a person's pattern often determines what a player's achievements in the NBA. Obviously, as far as Ma Long is concerned, his strength may be stronger than before, but his pattern in his heart is still the same, without the temperament of being arrogant.
So, in the face of Willis Reed's ridicule, the other famous players who were still arguing about who scored higher in this game, all stopped. At this time, the big screen of the studio had already put up the scene of players from both sides. After the Jazz's champions and heroes last season received the championship ring. So, at this time, everyone's eyes were aimed at the scene in the center of the Delta.
This time when he returned to Salt Lake City, Lin Han was in a complicated mood. He had thought about returning to Salt Lake City again. However, when he walked out of the airport, he encountered so many Jazz fans picking up the plane and still expressed his support for him. When he brought his team as a away player in the Delta Center, more than 10,000 Jazz fans in the whole game shouted Lin Han's name. This group of Jazz fans wearing blue championship-winning celebration jackets stood up and applauded him after seeing him appear.
Even Lin Han really felt very resentful towards the Jazz on the sidelines, but when these Jazz fans expressed their support for him in such an action, Lin Han's resentment towards the team became even stronger. Of course, Lin Han was naturally extremely moved to the Jazz fans, after all, the problem with him and the Jazz was not the problem with the Jazz fans.
Of course, although Lin Han was still able to get the support of Jazz fans, Lin Han was not a Jazz player after all. So, he watched Jazz players as home team players on the sidelines, under the auspices of David Stern. Under the arrangement of the team owner, Own Miller, when the award ceremony of the NBA championship ring began, Lin Han was still a little melancholy.
After all, he could have received the championship ring from his boss as the home team player of this team, like other Jazz players, after hugging David Stern, and enjoyed the cheers of the fans of the audience.
For example, just like Malone who played as the finale. When Malone received the championship ring from Old Miller after hugging David Stern, although the Jazz's master player has been greatly criticized for forcing Lin Han away this summer, many Jazz fans are very unable to understand this Jazz's master. This also led to Malone winning the championship this summer, just like the team was eliminated in the first round last season, and this guy was unable to go out on the streets. The absolute fans' resentment towards him is too great. Especially some time ago, when Steve Smith wanted to wear the No. 8 jersey, the Jazz's master player actually expressed his support publicly, and believed that Lin Han had only played for one season on the team and was not qualified to let the team save the jersey for Lin Han and not let others wear it.
But it is obvious that Malone thinks this way, but Jazz fans don't think so. Many Lin Han's loyal fans directly start a sarcastic mode of Malone. Even most neutral fans are on Lin Han's side at this time. Thinking that Malone's statement is extremely incorrect. A player's contribution to a team is definitely not only calculated by time. Although they are not as mean as Lin Han's loyal fans, they directly mocked Malone for his contribution to the Jazz in ten years, but not as great as Lin Han's contribution to Lin Han's one year. Such ridicule is very lethal, which makes Lin Han and Malone, who have almost broken the relationship, almost directly start a war of words afterwards.
However, the final result was of course that Stephen Smith was unable to wear the No. 8 he had always dreamed of. Malone and Stockton supported him to wear No. 8 to reduce Lin Han's influence in this team naturally ended in failure. However, although Stephen Smith was unable to wear No. 8 jersey, the guy finally chose No. 9 jersey and caused a stir at that time.
This is just like when Jordan chose to return with the No. 23 jersey, and Lin Han then wore the No. 24. When this Jazz freshman was unable to wear the No. 8 jersey, he finally chose No. 9. Although this Jazz freshman said that Lin Han chose No. 24 at that time, and there was no special meaning, but whether it had any special meaning can be said to be that heaven knows you, I know everyone knows it.
It can be said that although Malone is the boss of the Jazz throughout the summer, the Jazz boss has encountered a lot of trouble in the team, especially among the fans. This is why Malone is eager to get rid of Lin Han's influence and even support Stephen Smith in wearing the No. 8 jersey, and will also challenge Lin Han with the strong and very unstyled. There is no way. Faced with the current internal and external environment of the Jazz, he is really anxious. It can be said that Malone, Stockton, or the entire Jazz team have never thought that Lin Han has such a great influence here.
It has to be said that Lin Han still has many advantages as a Utah local. If he is not a Utah player, even if his performance is really like Lin Han's first season, he may not be able to gain so many loyal and supporters.
However, although many Jazz fans now have a lot of opinions about Malone, this is the honorary moment for the team to present the awards. So when Malone took the box of the championship ring from Old Miller and raised the box of the championship ring high with his right hand, most of the Jazz fans in the audience gave him applause. Of course, some fans still looked at the team's current boss with cold eyes. As Lin Han's loyal fans, they just need not boo to Malone. It is impossible to make them give applause!
So, when Malone raised the championship ring and felt that the applause he heard was not as good as Stockton, the Jazz boss's face was a little bit bad. After lifting it for a few seconds, he snorted a little and put down the ring he was holding in his right hand, and then walked directly to the Jazz's bench on the sidelines.
"hateful!"
When Malone got off the court with a little disappointment, there were three championship boxes on the table in the center of the court. When the team's boss took these three boxes to the Lakers bench, when Lin Han, Aaron Williams and Tyron Cobin appeared on the big screen on the scene, the Jazz fans also gave their extremely warm applause.
Especially when Miller and David Stern handed the ring on their hands to Lin Han and pulled Lin Han to the center of the stadium, almost all the Jazz fans on the scene exclaimed. Even Lin Han was a little surprised. As a visiting team player, even if they came to collect the championship ring, they rarely had the opportunity to stand in the center of the stadium to receive the fans' cheers.
And it moved Lin Han even more, and even surprised all the fans in the United States who watched this game at this time. When Lin Han walked to the center of the stadium, all the Jazz fans were wearing a blue jacket. When Lin Han stood in the center of the stadium, all the fans on the scene took off their coats. When they took off their coats, almost most of the fans in the stadium were wearing the Lin Han Jazz No. 8 jersey. When the sound of Lin Han and MVP sounded at the scene, many viewers in front of the TV were already covered their mouths in shock.
In fact, when Lin Han in the middle of the stadium saw this scene, he also covered his mouth in shock, looking unbelievable.
"Lin, you will always be one of the greatest players on the Jazz"
Looking at Lin Han, who was a little at a loss at this time, Old Miller standing beside Lin Han, the Jazz boss gave Lin Han a hug with red eyes. When the Jazz fans in the audience saw their boss hugging Lin Han, the atmosphere in the center of the entire triangle almost reached its peak.
Malone, the Jazz player who had been watching all this off the court, had already gritted his teeth at this time and had his fists tightly clenched. It can be seen that the NBA superstar had reached the peak of extreme anger in his emotions!
If it was apart from being neglected by home fans when receiving the award in this game, Malone was a little unhappy, then it would be no longer unhappy to see Lin Han being cheered and admired by all Jazz fans.
Jealousy, at this time Malone left Hong Guoguo's jealousy against the Lakers No. 24 player on the court!
This is his team, why did he force Lin Han away? Isn’t it just to prove that this is his team, even without Lin Han, he can get the results he wants. But now? When he finally forced Lin Han away, when Lin Han came back again, the center of this stage and the arena was still Lin Han!
How can I bear this?
When I thought of this, the anger in the Jazz player's heart could hardly be hidden!
"I must beat you in this game, I must beat you! I want the whole world to know that you are not my opponent, and this is my stage. You are just a stray dog driven away by me. I want the whole world to know that you are just a garbage like the Lakers!"
At this time, Lin Han was enjoying the glory of all the fans. At this moment, Lin Han naturally could not find the jealous look when Ma Long looked at him. In fact, even if Lin Han knew about Ma Long's eyes when he looked at him at this time, Lin Han might have just been disdainful.
When Lin Han left the court with cheers from the fans all over the court, many other Jazz players walked up from the Jazz bench to greet Lin Han. Among these players, Lin Han also saw his former big brother Ma Jian. It seems that this Utah player is doing well in this team. Of course, this is also the reason why Lin Han ordered Russell and others in private. Otherwise, due to the reasons of Kidd and Glen Robinson, in the NBA, it is not easy for old players to gain a foothold in the Jazz, and even this Utah player is considered a Utah native.
"Brother Ma, work well with the Jazz team, you will have a chance"
After saying hello to other Jazz friends, Lin Han also patted his big brother's half-cutting and said with a smile.
Of course, Lin Han patted Ma Jian’s shoulder at this time, and in fact Ma Jian didn’t think anything. But in the Heavenly Dynasty, when the scene on TV came to Lin Han and Ma Jian embraced the scene, the NBA fans in the Heavenly Dynasty went crazy.
This is impossible not to be crazy. Although Lin Han is not a Chinese, the fans of the Celestial Dynasty did not regard Lin Han as an outsider. In the United States, this game is focused on the grudge between Lin Han and Ma Long. In China, all the fans here care about what will happen in Ma Sanba and who cares about what will happen in the Celestial Day. Everyone has only one focus on it, that is, the first NBA Celestial Day derby staged by Lin Han and Ma Jian.
Especially in this game, Ma Jian was one of the few outside substitutes on the Jazz to enter the rotation lineup, Ma Jian had the chance to play in this game. So it is really possible to stage a Celestial Derby in this game!
Of course, neither Lin Han nor Ma Jian had ever thought that this game would cause such a big storm on the other side due to the two. After all, Ma Jian knew that he and Lin Han could not be opponents on the same level in this game, and Lin Han probably never regarded Ma Jian as an opponent.
So when the starters of both sides came on the court, the two players who were the protagonists of this game met directly in the middle circle, and they also stopped their own steps. When Lin Han and Ma Long both felt the extremely sharp gaze of each other, they snorted coldly almost at the same time.
"I will definitely beat this game. I will let all fans know what the difference between us is. You can never make a team better, but I can!"
Looking at this player who was once a teammate and now extremely jealous, Ma Long snorted coldly and said calmly, holding back the anger in his heart. After Ma Long finished speaking, what Ma Long couldn't bear was that Lin Han actually curled his lips disdainfully. Seeing Lin Han's expression at this time, Ma Long wanted to go up and strangle this vicious boy to death.
"Carl, when you become my opponent, you will never defeat me!"
After Malone finished speaking, Lin Han curled his lips disdainfully, and almost didn't even look at the Jazz player. Instead, he threw down this sentence that made Malone explode almost directly and turned around and left.
"Damn it, damn it! This guy is so hateful!"
When Malone heard Lin Han's extremely disdainful words, she was stunned at first. If Stockton next to her hadn't pulled him, the Jazz's leading player would have rushed up to kill Lin Han.
"Carl, calm down, you know Lin's style, he's irritating you, think of Olajuwon, think of Drexler and others!"
When Stockton almost shouted out directly, Malone, whose eyes were already red, finally calmed down. I have to say that if Stockton didn't die, the jazz leader, who was filled with jealousy, could really do something crazy to Lin Han.
In this game, the Jazz's starter did not change much after the lack of Lin Han. The center was still Spencer, the power forward was Malone, the small forward was Russell, the shooting guard was the Jazz's new No. 9 player Steve Smith, and the organizational guard was Stockton.
As for the Lakers, the starting center is Antonio Harvey, the power forward is Aaron Williams, the small forward is Dominic Wilkins, the shooting guard is Lin Han, and the organization guard is Van Eksel. As for Magic Johnson, he is still losing weight and his physical condition is not suitable for high-intensity regular season games, so at the beginning of the season, he may only be a head coach to command on the sidelines.
"This Lakers is really shabby. If I were Malone, I would have extremely strong confidence to beat Lin Han in the scoring comparison, right?"
When the starting players of both sides ended their warm-up and all stood at the designated position in the center circle to prepare for the jump ball. McHale and Collins, the commentator of this game, were speechless. In their impression of their basketball careers over the past few decades, when did the Lakers' inside line be so shabby? Two second-year rookies partnered with the inside line. And both of them were second-year rookies who did not enter the first round. Last season, none of them were 10+10 players. Such a player could actually become the starting inside team in the Lakers.
So when the two teams were jumping the ball, Antonio Jiewei lost to Polinis almost without any suspense and allowed the Jazz to get the first wave of ball rights at home, the two commentators almost all smiled bitterly, which was simply bullying people!
Especially when they saw the Jazz receive the ball in Stockton and quickly advance to the frontcourt and quickly hand over the basketball in their hands to Malone, who has already made a fast break, they are already sentenced to death for the two inside players of the Lakers.
How dull should these two guys be to give the opponent's inside player a chance to go directly to the fast attack?!
"Hmph, boy, I will let you know what the difference between you and me is. You guy will only sink into the sea of NBA with this garbage!"
When Malone, who was angry by Lin Han, ran wildly to the frontcourt basket the moment Polynis jumped. The Jazz player never thought that his team would lose when he jumped. So when the Lakers' Aaron Williams was still paying attention to the jumping situation and reacting from the jumping situation, Malone had already rushed out like an arrow!
When the other Lakers players were about to shrink to the basket, Stockton's pass had reached Malone's hand. At this time, the Lakers' defense was awkward, especially the point guard Van Eksel, who was standing at the back, didn't know whether to go up and cut Malone's ball or directly guard Malone's forward route to prevent him from entering the basket.
If it were other inside players, Van Eksel would have been ready to go up and intercept the ball. But this is Malone, whose skills are comparable to those of a small forward!
After going up, Malone could directly crush him with just a light turn and break through. In this case, Van Eksel almost gritted his teeth and watched Malone dribble the ball directly from outside the three-point line without any defense to the near-the free throw line!
When he saw Van Eksel holding his way to the basket, the Jazz player also showed disdain on his face.
"Boy, didn't Lin Han tell you what level of my mid-range shooting would be if no one was defending?!"
When Malone showed a very sarcastic expression and stopped at the free throw line, Van Eksel, who had been watching Malone, was almost crazy at this time. Why is it said that Malone is a god when facing a height that is not as tall as him?
I just thought this guy's offense was too comprehensive, and his offensive efficiency in all aspects was excellent, which made the opponent not know where to defend!
So when Malone saw Van Eksel, who was standing two steps away from him, showed an extremely horrified look on his face and directly shot the mid-range shot, the Jazz's leading player was filled with the invincible and raging sense of pleasure!
After being almost ridiculed by the whole world in the third game of last season, Ma Long's entire worldview has undergone a huge change. He no longer has so much concern for offense. If Lin Han and Ma Long used to laugh at this guy as an incompetent brush, many times when they were too concerned, it was just the first stage of the brush. Even Lin Han, who was just a stroll back when he was just a stunning player, could not beat Lin Han, who was just a stunning player, but now Ma Long is not such a player. If it were Malone in the past, he would hesitate. Although there were ten thousand ways to defeat Van Aixel, he would hesitate because there were too many ways!
And now Ma Long jumped up from the middle distance without any hesitation!
"Carl, be careful!"
However, when Malone jumped at the free throw line, Van Eksel, who had already closed his eyes in despair, saw that after Malone took action, the sound of the basket brushing the frame, and the waiting sounded like a bang, as if something was directly shot!
When Van Eksel opened his eyes and saw Malone flying in the air, still shooting posture, throwing the basketball out by Lin Han, who didn't know where to shoot, was slapped away, at this time, the Lakers' guard was almost stunned!
Not only Van Eksel was stunned, but even the Jazz fans on the scene were the same. They had never thought that the start of this game would be like this.
When Lin Han and Malone came down from the air almost at the same time, when Malone looked down at the basketball that had been shot from behind by Lin Han, the Jazz player's body almost trembled due to anger.
The two commentators on the sidelines who were criticizing Lakers' defense just now, McHale and Collins, were looking at the Lakers' No. 24 on the court, and their mouths were a little wide open for a moment.
"Damn it, have you forgotten that even if my team has no defense, my defense cannot be overcome by any cat or dog!"
When Lin Han, who was standing beside Ma Long fell from the air, looked at Ma Long who looked angry and incredible at this look of ma Long in a daze at the basketball he had taken out by himself, Lin Han said lightly with some disdain.
When Lin Han finished speaking, when he turned around and left, Ma Long raised his head from his lowered head and looked at Lin Han's back, his teeth almost sizzled.
"Boy, do you know that you are looking for death!" (To be continued...)
...
Chapter completed!
