Chapter 395: Teammate's Confidence

Although both the Lakers and Magic are in the top five teams in the league's regular season record, before the start of this game, the support they received between the two teams is of course different. Although the Lakers are the only team in the league that still maintains ten consecutive victories, the Magic are now in eight consecutive victories. As for the current situation, these two teams can almost be said to be difficult to distinguish between Xuan Ze and both are struggling desperately. The Lakers are trying their best to rush forward, and the Magic are also attacking the Bulls' first place in the East with all their strength. So for these two teams, although the winners and losses of this game will not allow the two teams to lose the second in the East or third in the West, for these two teams, they do not want to lose this game, which is certain, because for both teams, they are in the high-speed lane now and do not want their team to be interrupted. ≤

So, this game seems to lose, and the sky will not fall on both sides. Both teams have reasons to win, especially the Magic. Although O'Neal is only fifth in the regular season, he is indeed the only team that can threaten Lin Han's MVP, because the second place Jordan won 70 wins, even if the Bulls win 69 wins, because even if Jordan scores high this year, he does not have a stunning breakthrough. In addition, most American journalists are not supporters of the first basketball player. If these journalists want to make these journalists play Jordan's "mediocre" season.

First vote? Stop dreaming. It can be said that after the Bulls lost more than 13 games, Jordan completely lost the hope of MVP, even though he ranked second, second only to Lin Han, as for David Robinson, the third. If he could beat Lin Han and the Lakers in that key game against the Lakers, he would have a chance, and it was not small, but he lost in the end. In the two key matches with the Lakers and Lin Han, he was beaten and collapsed by Lin Han and cried, and once was beaten by Lin Han for 94 points. Although overall, these two games were just ordinary regular seasons, but it was obvious that these two games were the two levels.

He lost to Lin Han. Although this can be seen as two ordinary failures, it has a deep impression on people. How could David Robinson be ahead of Lin Han? As for Olajuwon, before the Barkley trade, Olajuwon had a chance. But after Barkley comes, don't think about it. Although there is nothing wrong with the age of Barkley, Drexler and Olajuwon. Although some stakeholders and players are very dissatisfied with the deal, most ordinary fans or media maintain a certain degree of neutrality.

Neutrality does not mean support. Since you have been joining for the championship, then don’t think about MVP. Unless there are really no competitors, or the Rockets have excellent record, they have to give it. For example, if they win 70 wins, the three of them should not think about this personal honor. I’m afraid that after Olajuwon and Barkley have joined together, they are also very clear about such a situation. So in recent times, Olajuwon is obviously adjusting and not every game is played. Although Olajuwon is quite deadly in the game, he has already begun to miss it, which means he has given up the competition for MVP.

Therefore, although O'Neal is only fifth in MVP now, it is just because the Magic's record is not outstanding enough. As long as this team is ranked first in the Eastern Conference and the Lakers cannot become the first in the Western Conference, there will be quite a lot of media that hate Lin Han who are extremely unfair to vote for O'Neal. In addition, O'Neal is the darling of the media. Under this two-way attack, although it may not necessarily be able to defeat Lin Han, it will definitely pose enough threat to Lin Han.

In this case, it is almost impossible for these two teams to hope that their team will lose in this game, both public and private. When the desire for victory of the two teams is similar, the real decision on the victory or defeat of this game is naturally some factors on the court. For example, this game is the second away game of the Lakers in the East. Although Miami and Orlando are in a big state, and the distance seems to be quite close, this is also a back-to-back game after all, which is quite unfavorable to the Lakers. In addition, the Lakers are a very bad team with weak inside, and the Magic are one of the strongest inside teams in the league. If Barkley hadn't gone to the Rockets, the Magic would be the strongest inside team in the league.

Although many teams in the league now have All-Star inside combinations, a superstar plus an All-Star champion insider was just the Magic before. The inside combination of O'Neal and Grant was definitely the strongest inside combination in the league. In this case, if the Lakers want to defeat the Magic back-to-back away, they can almost really expect that they can lock the Magic's outside line like the Bulls before, and make these two inside lines of the Magic an island, but it is obvious that the Bulls have the strongest outside line in the league. The outside combination of Jordan, Pippen and Hapa are simply the best offensive and defensive all-around, and the oppressive league's first outside line.

But what about the Lakers? In addition to Lin Han’s defensive strength, only Eddie Jones, the little Pippen, has a certain defensive ability. However, after all, Pippen is Pippen, and he is also a rookie. Even if the Lakers want to oppress the Magic, they can’t suppress it. Moreover, after the Magic’s almost shameful defeat, as the head of the Magic’s outside, Penny Hardaway has changed a lot.

This is not how much Hardaway's strength has increased, but this is secondly. At the level of Hardaway, its strength is basically not that easy to grow. Even the talented Hardaway is the same. What really grows is this guy's way of playing. Hardaway is one of the most versatile swingers in the league. When he was defeated by Jordan in a shameless game, Jordan expressed his disappointment with Hardaway after the game. This disappointment does not mean that Hardaway's strength is not good, but that when Hardaway competes with Jordan, he no longer has the decisiveness as he was in the training camp of the Dream Team. As a top all-round player, Hardaway gave up his offense!

When an all-round player gives up his offense and score, no matter how many data he has in rebounds, assists, steals and blocks, he is no longer an all-round player in front of Jordan. The reason why all-round players are so high in the league is mainly because all-round players are natural and undefensive players. When you defend his pass, they can attack. When you defend their offense, they can pass the ball. After entering the league, in order not to let fans or experts say that they are a cancer like Lin Han and Jordan, Hardaway rejects the title of Jordan's successor.

Yes, since he is rejection, then tell others that he is not such a player, and the easiest way is of course to suppress his own scoring and offense. However, Hardaway did not expect that when he suppressed his scoring and offense, he was actually suppressing his omnipotence. Although he tried his best to get rid of Jordan's title of successor, he finally put his playing style into extreme embarrassment. Finally, the tragedy between the Bulls and the Magic appeared. For Jordan, Hardaway, who gave up his attack, even if Hardaway's passing and defense were excellent, he was actually just a simple little white rabbit.

So after that game, Hardaway, who had been in reflection, thought of his opponent who had been in the league, Lin Han, and the shocking battle between Lin Han and Jordan in the first duel. This Magic Head, who was a little bit obsessed with the shadow of Jordan and Lin Han, finally woke up. So after that, the Magic Head's team's outside team was still a super all-round player with all the best in the league. However, the attack power increased sharply, and the difficulty of defense was extremely increased.

Not to mention Lin Han, it is hard to say even if Jordan meets this talented Magic team again, he can kill him like the first time they meet. Lin Han wants to completely suppress Hardaway in this situation? Hardaway is not Drexler.

In this case, in this game between the Lakers and the Magic. Even though both sides are in good condition, basically not many teams will be optimistic about the Lakers. Because it seems that the gap between the two sides is really big, unless Lin Han once again starts the state of killing people with a divine block and killing Buddha, killing Buddha by himself, and killing sixty or seventy by himself, and then no matter what his teammates are like, he can kill his opponent by himself.

If it is an ordinary player, media experts and fans will not believe that such a situation occurs. Therefore, if it is an ordinary superstar who is in the shooting guard position who takes the Lakers and the Magic, it is a sure defeat, because these superstars cannot do this, but it is because Lin Han leads the team. Although the Lakers seem to have little chance of winning, no one dares to say it. After all, even in the Spurs, even when they are 31 points behind in the half, Lin Han can score a score of 76 points in the second half, breaking the single-quarter scoring record for two consecutive quarters. Although Lin Han is unlikely to play like this in this game, it is not without it.

After all, with Lin Han's performance of 40 consecutive times in recent times, it was when Lin Han's reputation was the most popular and even more than Jordan. Who dares to underestimate this Lakers' leading player?

However, no matter what, although Lin Han can make people feel very confident in the Lakers that they don’t have, after all, even Lin Han’s chances of playing such a game are not that high, so the Lakers’ chances of winning in this game are really much worse than those of the Magic. In other words, before the start of this game, not many people will be optimistic about the Lakers, even Larry Bird and Collins are like this. This is why O’Neal was so arrogant before the game and sentenced the Lakers to death before the game started and teased Lin Han.

Although everyone is shocked now, the performance of this season is simply not sure how to describe it, but as long as people who are a little rational, they know that this Lakers can basically rely on Lin Han’s explosive style when facing a strong inside team like the Magic. It’s okay to say that in the regular season, in the playoffs, according to the Lakers’ current ranking, the Warriors are also a team with only a quasi-All-Star inside combination in the first round, and there are even three inside players with All-Star and Quasi-All-Star strength. If this opponent Lin Han doesn’t play, even if Lin Han destroys the Warriors and meets the Spurs in the second round, this damn has to explode. Even if Lin Han destroys the Warriors and encounters the Spurs in the second round, this damn has to explode. Even if the Rockets are exploded again, facing the Rockets in the third round, facing the two inside superstar combinations of Olajuwon and Barkley, this damn explosive style is no longer enough, and you still need to explode the anus and kidneys.

Moreover, although the Lakers seem to be in the playoffs, they will have a hit every round. This is actually pretty good. If Lin Han had not completed three consecutive games to defeat his opponents and proved that he could influence a series of skills, many people would not even have the chance to hit him.

"In this game, the Magic's starting lineup is center O'Neal, power forward Grant, small forward is Denis Scott averaging 13 points per game this season, the shooting guard is Nick Anderson, who averages 16 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists per game this season, and the three-point shooting percentage reaches 42%, while the position of the organization guard is Penny Hardaway, which is the Magic's first starting lineup this season, which is quite stable. There is basically no change. On the Lakers, the starting center is Antonio Harvey, who averages 2.4 points and 3.2 rebounds per game this season, the power forward is Aron Williams, who averages 4 points and 4.5 rebounds per game, the small forward is Dominic Wilkins, who averages 19 points per game, and the shooting guard is Eddie Jones, who averages 15 points per game, and the organization guard is Lin Han. In this game, Magic Johnson and Rodman play as a substitute."

"Because of the two inside players of the Magic, Lin Han's off-ball running will be greatly disturbed. The Lakers' off-ball offense will also have some problems, so in the end, Magic will play as a substitute in this game, are you ready to strengthen Lin Han's personal attack? This is a pretty good choice."

"Yes, although O'Neal and Grant are strong, especially at the basket, it is not so easy for these two to assist in defense, so with Lin Han's personal ability, the effect of his own singles may be better than running without the ball in this game, and Lin Han plays a point guard. The Lakers are obviously preparing to use Lin Han's pick-and-roll at mid-range, but unfortunately the Lakers do not have an excellent inside line at mid-range. Otherwise, the effect may be better. The Magician can, but his body is still too far behind O'Neal."

When the two teams were on the court after warming up, as the two commentators of the game, Collins and Larry Bird sighed a little. Most people were not optimistic about the Lakers before this game. Even the Lakers themselves probably knew this very well, so in this game, the team's changes were quite big. If the Magic's outside offense was not very good, the Lakers would probably replace Dominic Wilkins in the starting lineup and replace Van Eksel with a better three-pointer.

Obviously, the Lakers are preparing to make a fuss on the outside in this game. After all, although O'Neal is a major center forward, it is quite criticized for his defense, but this does not mean that he is poor in defense. This is also a player who can contribute more than three blocks per game. Assisting defense may not be able to do it because he is too lazy and doesn't want to do it, but it may not be possible to get under the basket. Besides, in addition to O'Neal, there is also a first-class defense Grant, not to mention Lin Han, even Jordan may not have the courage to compete with these two people in the interior.

In addition to the four center teams and some inside strong teams, facing the Magic team, can't you still have to play inside without playing outside?

Therefore, if the Lakers really want to win this game, it is actually very normal to make such tactical changes, because most teams in the league do this when facing the Magic, and the most beautiful ones that play this trick are undoubtedly the Jazz. The pick-and-roll of Malone and Stockton simply kills O'Neal's desire to play [Eternal Desire].

Therefore, even the Magic team, as the opponent, was not surprised at all after seeing the Lakers' completely different arrangements from before. Even when both sides stood in the middle circle to jump the ball after the warm-up, as the head of the Magic team, O'Neal was still winking at Lin Han after the successful jump ball. That posture seemed to be telling Lin Han, boy, don't struggle, no matter how it changes, you will definitely lose this game!

"It seems that the Magic are not going to play fast in this game."

Faced with O'Neal's wink, Lin Han directly chose to ignore it. At this time, this kid was so happy that he was crying!

When O'Neal's jump ball came to Hardaway's hand, Lin Han pressed directly. Facing Lin Han's style of play that was extremely similar to Jordan, if he was still a little immature when he fought with Jordan this season, then Hardaway was really much more mature at this time. After Lin Han pressed, the head of the Magic team's head passed the ball behind the back to Nick Anderson on his left, he quickly got rid of Lin Han under a cover from Grant, and directly received the pass again in the frontcourt. Just one pass and one pass, Lin Han's press turned into invisible.

For the frontcourt leader, the opponent's player is very calm and does not play single-handed passes, which is the most depressing thing, because after being blocked by Grant, the old fried dough stick. After blocking, the old kid actually deliberately hugged Lin Han with both hands for a while. Although this was a foul action, because the old fried dough stick was too good to grasp the timing, the referee did not pay much attention. In the end, only Lin Han suffered a loss. Although it was only a moment to be hugged by Grant, Lin Han could only watch Hardaway in the end.

After receiving the pass from Nick Anderson's hand, he went straight to the basket on the almost flat defense line. When the Lakers stood at the free throw line waiting for Grant and Aaron Williams, who was assisting O'Neal at any time, had to run out to prepare for defense, the head of the Magic team directly threw a pass and the ball reached O'Neal's hand. At this time, O'Neal had almost no hesitation. After receiving the ball, he turned around and knocked Harvey away and completed the dunk!

"Beautiful organizational cooperation, Hardaway's passing timing and skills are quite outstanding, and O'Neal's offense is unstoppable!"

When the Magic's first wave of offense was so beautiful that the Lakers' defense line was almost completely cured into a mess of sand, let alone the Magic fans were quite excited at this time. Even Collins and Larry Bird shook their heads with a wry smile. If a team only has a super inside line, this is actually not scary. What's scary is that this super inside line has a super outside teammate. Such internal and external connections are simply not sure how to defend for the Lakers!

Harvey, who was crushed by O'Neal on the first offense, was a little confused at this time. Although O'Neal just turned around and was not a strong back attack, Harvey was also knocked away, which means that no matter whether O'Neal was fighting back or turning around, he could not stop the Lakers' leading inside player.

"O'Neal is too cruel. The Lakers' inside line is really bad. The Lakers will definitely lose in this game. No matter how strong Lin Han is, he cannot complete a counterattack under such a situation. Even the O'Neal's Lakers dominance is stronger than David Robinson before."

"It's true. It seems that our predictions before the game are correct. The Lakers will be crushed by the Magic's inside line in this game."

"I hope the Magic team will give Lin Han some face in this game and don't let this young man who is too shameless, hahahahaha."

"Man, do you think this is possible? If O'Neal wants MVP, the best result of this game is to play a tragedy and remove the halo from Lin Han. O'Neal will never show mercy in this game."

"Yes, I think so too. If the Lakers lose in this game, it will be an inhumane defeat!"

For a player who leads the defense, the most depressing thing is that the player who leads the defense plays blocking and passes, and the most embarrassing thing is undoubtedly Lin Han is like this now. His big back is simply a colander, and this colander cannot be blamed on the player. It can only be said that it is purely natural and a colander.

Even if he watched O'Neal finish the dunk, Lin Han could not blame his teammates. This is their ability. Harvey and Williams are known as the worst starting inside team in the history of the league. Dominic Wilkins wants to count on him to have the assisting defense like Lin Han? Is this a reality? Eddie Jones is just a rookie, and even if he has the ability, he is just a rookie.

After Lin Han left the team's defensive system, it is impossible for others to have good defensive performance. In other words, the defense of this team depends entirely on Lin Han. After Lin Han was taken out by Hardaway, if others encounter an offensive player of O'Neal, they can only stare at him.

"Boy Lin, how about it? My dunk is very good, right? Hahahahaha"

After completing the dunk, O'Neal, who walked to Lin Han, also smiled and showed off his muscles.

"But it's very good, but not so beautiful"

Originally, O'Neal was going to show off in front of Lin Han. According to his understanding, with Lin Han's personality, his face was definitely not good at this time. He liked to see Lin Han's expression changing face the most. The head of the Magic team liked this very much, but at this time, Lin Han didn't look ugly and even laughed. What made O'Neal quite uncomfortable was that the boy looked at him with a very strange look.

"Boy Lin, is he sick this year?"

Facing Lin Han's strange gaze that looked rather smirking, O'Neal also looked at him and felt that there was no problem. When he looked at Lin Han, he was a little worried. Lin Han was abnormal before the start of this game. Especially the abnormal hug before the game made O'Neal quite uncomfortable.

In fact, O'Neal has never hugged two players, and it is common for NBA players. O'Neal is naturally not surprised. The key is that Lin Han's hug is different. The ordinary hug, both sides let go after a moment of expression. Lin Han, who, after hugging his shark waist, actually put his toes on his ears, was even more furious. It would be fine if Lin Han hugged him and put his toes on his toes, but this damn almost hung on him in the end. If it weren't for Hardaway to know that this kid had a pretty beautiful girlfriend, O'Neal would have doubted whether Lin Han was bent.

If it is not a bent, it proves that Lin Han is sick in this game, so O'Neal's eyes looked at Lin Han became more and more sympathetic.

"Boy Lin, don't worry. Since you are sick in this game, I won't win fifty points, just win forty points, just win forty points, look. Am I good to you?"

After patting Lin Han's shoulder with some sympathy, O'Neal also left with a laugh, but O'Neal, who was in a very happy mood, did not notice at all. His eyes were sympathetic and joking when he looked at Lin Han, and the eyes of Lin Han looking at his back were the same.

"Okay. Don't care too much about this defense. This is my mistake. I shouldn't take the risk of pressing Hardaway to create an empty defense line. Everyone cheer up. This game has just begun."

Looking at the Lakers teammate who was a little depressed at this time, Lin Han also smiled and patted his palm and said, "It's good to lose two points on the defense just now. After all, a team that doesn't lose points does not exist. The key is the way to lose points. This is a way to lose points without any means. In other words, the Magic can play them like this once and they can play them for the second time. This is unacceptable and quite depressing. Fortunately, after Lin Han smiled and encouraged, the Lakers players were much more relaxed because Lin Han didn't care, because the Lakers' winning streak now is particularly

It is such a critical moment of victory that puts a lot of pressure on the Lakers. If you want to win, you are afraid of losing, and you don’t want to become the sinner of the team’s loss because of yourself, and become the sinner who puts Lin Han in a public opinion storm and loses honor. It can be said that the teammates of the cancer team are actually under a lot of pressure, because there are generally many fans with super cancer. These teammates often have to face the accusations of fans. They must have the awareness of becoming CBA teammates, and they also have to face the pressure from public opinion, because cancer has always been relatively weak in public opinion. Even if the team loses, it is considered poisonous.

No matter how many tumors score, they will be criticized. This leads to many tumors passing the anger on their teammates. Jordan had a very bad temper back then, which is also the reason why Lin Han was able to get allegiance to non-direct players such as Ruffin and Wilkins before, because Lin Han does not have the problems with ordinary cancer superstars. Lin Han has a very good temper. Many Lakers players say that Lin Han is too kind and hopes that he can be more ruthless to his teammates. However, Lin Han is also a problem with them, that is, other Lakers players are extremely worried that they have done something sorry to Lin Han.

Some things can sometimes cause extra tension and don’t want to drag Lin Han down. So in the league, as a cancer superstar, a bad temper like Jordan can easily make his teammates nervous and scared. The same is true for a good temper like Lin Han, but the way of fear is different. This is also the reason why the cancer team has never been so outstanding, because it is difficult to maintain continuous victory. Generally speaking, it is a miracle, like the Lakers and Lin Han, who have even had 14 consecutive victories this season.

When Lin Han won fourteen consecutive games, he did not have the pressure of MVP and the scoring king. Even if he lost or lost continuously, no one would say that Lin Han was not the case with the Lakers' record at that time, so the Lakers players were quite relaxed. In addition, Lin Han treated them with a national warrior, so these people were also very hardworking towards Lin Han. Everyone worked together to accomplish an almost miraculous unbeaten in a single month, but now the pressure is a bit high.

Although Lin Han’s IQ is not that high, as a professional player who has been working for almost two years, of course, he knows what kind of mental state these teammates of his team are in at this time, so even if they really make mistakes, it is useless. Lin Han cannot directly play the blacklist like his idol Jordan. After all, Lin Han’s way of walking in the Lakers is different from Jordan. As a disciple trained by Stockton, Lin Han takes the path of “Gentleman Sword”, while Jordan is “Ren Woxing”, although everyone wants to unify the world.

"Aaron, Anthony and Dominic, you can just shrank under the basket next time you defend. Don't come out to face the defender. Just don't let O'Neal have the chance to turn around and dunk at the basket. Eddie, don't need to shrink too much. Nick Anderson's three-pointer is quite good. You need to defend his three-pointer. As for the others, leave it to me."

When Lin Han smiled and arranged his arrangements to his teammates, the Lakers player, who had already breathed a sigh of relief, became nervous at this time.

Lin Han is preparing to change the team's tactics on the court!

"Boss, is this really good?"

Although the Lakers' defense can be said to be like paper-made after the first attack, this is a tactic arranged by the Magician and Carell, and Carell has no majesty. But the magician's majesty is still quite great.

Moreover, Lin Han's semi-contracted defense is simply a gambling. You know, Grant's offensive ability is also very good. The three of them may be able to block O'Neal, but can Lin Han block Grant and Hardaway alone?!

"Don't worry, I know very well what I'm doing. Anthony, Aaron. You just need to help me block O'Neal, I believe you can do it."

After Lin Han finished speaking with a smile, he felt the trust conveyed by Lin Han. Although Aaron Williams and Antonio Harvey themselves had no confidence, he finally nodded fiercely.

After Lin Han reorganized the team's tactics, the Magicians on the sidelines absolutely did not know about it. In fact, at this time, the Magician's eyes were all about Lin Han who was passing the ball from the team's bottom line.

As for Lin Han, he looked at the four teammates who were heading towards the front court and shook his head a little. Although Lin Han also had many things that did not agree with Carell, Carell was right. Some Lakers players had a close relationship with him, so close that they were a little restrained or even lost confidence. Although Lin Han was unwilling to admit it, as many people said, when this team lost Lin Han, they would be at a loss to become the worst team in the league.

Although Lin Han himself is quite proud of building a team like this. After all, this proves his leadership ability. But in the same way, Lin Han doesn't want his teammates to be his own voice on the court and do not have enough confidence in autonomy, especially the team's inside line. This season, whether from fans or media, the team's inside line has been scolded from beginning to end. Although this is a fact of the Lakers, the team's inside line is indeed very poor, but it cannot fall to this point. At least, in Lin Han's opinion, the strength of these two people is not as bad as it is. It should not be the worst in history, but it should be one of the worst in history.

"I hope you can get a little confidence in this game."

Thinking of this, Lin Han also dribbled the ball and advanced to the frontcourt. At this time, Aaron Williams and Harvey, who had just arrived in the frontcourt not long ago, did not rush to go to the basket. The two stood directly at the top of the arc and gave Lin Han a double cover directly at the top of the arc. After Lin Han used their double covers to get rid of the defense, he directly made a jump shot from the mid-range horn position on the left side of the free throw line!

Grant, who had been one step late in assisting defense, could only watch Lin Han make a jump shot, just like O'Neal.

However, Lin Han's offensive hit did not make the Magic any more, because they often let their opponents play like this. Unless they are players like Malone, even Lin Han, the Magic would not think that Lin Han could use mid-range attack to confront O'Neal's basket!

Even in the next attack, O'Neal hooked the ball at the basket while facing the Lakers' defense, O'Neal's shooting percentage could reach more than 70% of the shots failed, the Magic, fans, and O'Neal didn't think anything was there.

"Huh? Have the Lakers changed their defensive tactics?"

On the contrary, Collins and Larry Bird were a little surprised at this time (to be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
