Chapter 437 The new four major centers?!
"Win, boss, we won, we beat the San Antonio Spurs in the first game, and we actually beat the Spurs in the first game of the series!"
The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Spurs in the first game at home. When the game ended, even the loyal fans of Lin Han like Larry Bird and Collins were quite incredible. After all, although these two teams seem to be similar in strength, after the game began, when the Lakers head coach Magic Johnson played inout tactics in this game, in fact, in the eyes of most experts and reporters on the scene, this game or this round of series, the Lakers
The team's victory or defeat is actually quite unpredictable. At least before the game, many people said that the Los Angeles Lakers should have a winning rate of about 40% in this round of the series, but after the start of this game, in most people's eyes, the Lakers may not even have a winning rate of two levels. They play against the Spurs at the rhythm of the Spurs, and the head of their team is forced to play unfamiliar positions. Such a situation is a very passive thing to look at.
And under such circumstances, the Los Angeles Lakers actually defeated an opponent like the Spurs in the first game of the Western Conference semi-finals this season. This is quite surprising and incredible no matter how you look at it.
Moreover, people with such emotions are definitely not just those audiences or experts on the scene or in front of the TV. Even as Lakers players at the end of the game, they were almost the same when they saw the scoreboard on the sidelines, so at the moment when the whistle sounded at the end of the game, when the Los Angeles Lakers confirmed their victory, the Lakers players on the court almost directly surrounded Lin Han!
As participants in this game, the players of the Los Angeles Lakers are really very clear about what the difficulties their team encountered in this game, because the team is now only Lin Han and Magic can run the Princeton tactical system more maturely, because the team lacks people inside, no one can block David Robinson one-on-one. In this case, in order not to pin all hopes on Lin Han's feel and cancer playing style, the Magic chooses to change the formation. Such helpless change is not guaranteed to be successful.
In the entire NBA, every team and every coach are basically ready to fail when he is forced to change the lineup. Moreover, the Lakers' game is not a general change in the sense of formation. Even after the team changes the lineup, Lin Han himself directly proposed a more bold behavior. He is unwilling to just deal with the offensive issue in the game, hoping to replace Rodman against David Robinson!
Originally, the Lakers were quite passive in this game, but now it's better. When Lin Han confirmed the offense and defense against David Robinson in this game, even Lin Han's most loyal little brother Eddie Jones dared not praise Lin Han as before. In other words, even Eddie Jones, the Lakers who have always been the most optimistic about Lin Han, are not so optimistic about this game.
It can be said that although Lakers players did not say that the Lakers would lose in this game before the game, for them, they could not say that even all teams in the entire league would not say that their team would lose before the start of the home game, even if they faced much stronger than themselves. But even if they didn't say it, it did not mean that the actual situation would change. In fact, Lakers players all know how bad the current situation of their team is in this game, especially as the team's head coach and starter Johnson, who is the team's head coach and starter, is very clear about this. He is not sure about his own team's change. In addition, Lin Han himself is going to play center, which makes him even less sure.
But what made Magic Johnson a little unaware of what to say. The Los Angeles Lakers actually won in this game that he was very unsure of, and the way of winning was quite shocking. The Spurs, as a team that was more advantageous and more optimistic, did not lead the entire game. The Lakers led from the beginning of the game until the end of the game!
"I really don't know how I should evaluate your energy at this time."
Looking at Lin Han who was surrounded by other Lakers players and even substitutes at this time, Magic Johnson shook his head with a smile. As one of the most versatile players in the history of the league, outside players may be one of the most successful players in the center. Magic Johnson knows better than anyone else what kind of energy Lin Han needs to have in this game to achieve such an achievement. After all, the center against him is not someone else, but one of the strongest centers in the league, and even one of the most powerful centers in the history of the NBA. Faced with such a center, Lin Han actually
He won the opponent and won the opponent in the inout system. Even in the Lakers, where Jabbar was injured, the Magic played the center himself. Facing the opponent's center, he used his own advantages to guerrillas. No matter whether he was really strong on both offense and defense, the outside players and the inside players were directly strong on one-on-one. In the outside match, the outside match was dominant and the inside match was absolutely dominant. Therefore, even when facing a first-class center, the Magic did not dare to really be strong on the inside. In this game, Lin Han actually became stronger than David Robinson and succeeded!
Thinking of Lin Han saying that he wanted to play center before the start of this game, but he was a little distrustful of Lin Han's playing center, the Magician felt a little ashamed. Just in this game, Lin Han's performance and potential in the interior derby have surpassed him!
Although this is quite incredible, the magician is quite acknowledging the result.
The victory of this game is very important for Lin Han and the Lakers. Before the game started, the Lakers were in a passive position because of the poor inside line. They were tied up as soon as they came up. Under such circumstances, they could defeat the opponent, which was definitely a matter of boosting morale. It was obvious that the Lakers were greatly motivated by this unexpected victory. Then, in addition to the Lakers, the Spurs were absolutely speechless at this time.
Especially as the team's leading player David Robinson and the team's head coach Bob Hill, these two may not even know how they lost this game!
So. After a long time after the game, whether it was David Robinson or Hill, the two of them looked at the Lakers No. 24 surrounded by teammates on the court, with a very confused look in their eyes!
You should know that although the Spurs players have always been quite confident that they can beat the Lakers in this round of the series, and that their team's strength is above the Lakers, because of the previous performances of the regular season and playoffs, the Spurs certainly know that the Lakers' strength is very outstanding, and it is impossible to defeat the Lakers easily in the game. Just as the Lakers cannot easily defeat them, it is very likely that the two teams will lose and win in a game. So, don't look at David Robinson's disdain for Lin Han. However, David Robinson attaches great importance to Lin Han's strength and the strength of the Lakers.
Therefore, although the Spurs wanted to take the initiative in this game, they were also mentally prepared to be defeated by the Lakers in this game. They had thought that they would lose in this game, but even though they thought that they might lose in this game, they had never thought that this game would lose in this way!
The Lakers and Lin Han are the best areas of the Spurs, and they are not just opportunistic, but directly defeating them with the Spurs' hard anus. In such a failure, even David Robinson doesn't know what reasons to comfort himself, because there is no reason to find. In this game, Lin Han and the Lakers both lost like this, so what other reasons can the Spurs have?!
"Damn, damn, damn!"
Therefore, when David Robinson came back from his loss of consciousness, the Spurs' head player looked at Lin Han not far away with his eyes, although he was full of murderous aura. At this time, David Robinson didn't hate Lin Han much. After all, Lin Han won this game very openly. He did lose in this game, no matter whether it was an accident or not, no matter whether his inside strength was stronger than Lin Han, he did lose in this game!
Therefore, he regrets himself more than hating Lin Han. The status and performance of other Spurs players in this game were actually very good. Although because Lin Han resisted him one-on-one, Rodman also grabbed the internal and external connections of the Spurs, which made the Spurs' performance quite entangled in this game, but even so, the performance of other Spurs players in the Spurs without internal and external connections is enough. The biggest reason for the team's loss is not others, but himself!
Facing Lin Han's one-on-one defense, he actually made 6 of 22 shots in this game. As an inside player, his shooting was less than 30% of the game, and his score in this game was even 20. Although his data looks pretty, with 19 points and 22 rebounds almost hitting a double 20, but for the Spurs, a double 20 cannot lead the team to win. Moreover, as a player of one of the four major centers in the league, in this game, he and Lin Han are better in performance in the direct competition in the inside. Just from the data point of view, Lin Han is better than David Robinson, whether it is score, rebound, assist, steal or block!
In other words, from the data point of view, Lin Han completely defeated David Robinson in this game!
This makes David Robinson not regret this game. He is one of the strongest inside players in the league. He actually lost to a guest inside player like Lin Han in the inside position. If he can perform equally with Lin Han in this game, the Lakers will not win in this game. If he can perform a little more normally, the Spurs will not suffer such insults as Lin Han and the Lakers in this game!
Of course, as the head player of the Spurs at this time, David Robinson was really caught in a lot of self-blame, especially looking at the Spurs teammates who looked very humiliated on his face. The head player of the Spurs really hated him, but as the head coach of the Spurs, Bob Hill, although he was quite unhappy and regretful about the team's loss in this game, he felt that his team's failure was more underestimated by the Lakers, especially himself.
After playing inout tactics in this game between the Lakers, the head coach of the Spurs actually naively thought that his team could win by lying down. Even a short-term backward cannot change the final result of the game, and he is full of incredible confidence in the team!
Such confidence is of course a good thing for the Spurs. If you insist on saying that there is anything wrong with this, then he and his team underestimated Lin Han's inside ability. On the offensive end, Lin Han is indeed as he imagined, and is definitely not a match for David Robinson. In this game, except for the back-turning jump shot with back-turning, with Lin Han's height. He played David Robinson alone at the basket, and any offensive method was quite average, which was as he expected. Even if there were some surprises in this game, Lin Han would play back-turning jump shot with back-turning jump shot in the interior, but unexpectedly, the final result was not good for the Lakers and Lin Han. This game can be seen from Lin Han's hit rate and score and the Lakers' scores throughout the game.
The Lakers, who play inout tactics with David Robinson and the Spurs, actually performed quite average on the offensive end. If the Spurs' offense can be as usual, as long as the whole game is in the situation, the Lakers will definitely lead the game and end up losing.
What just makes him and his team helpless is that the Lakers' performance on the offensive end in this game is quite average, and his team's performance on the offensive end may not be much better than the Lakers, or because of David Robinson, their offense is worse!
He and his team had no idea that Lin Han would have such strong personal abilities on the inside defensive end. As an outside player, he could have the power to block David Robinson on the defensive end, and he also had such excellent defensive prediction ability. Even his athletic talent was so strong that he didn't know what to say. It can be said that David Robinson had almost no advantage on the offensive end except for his use of his height to shoot, and could not break through Lin Han. He could not play Lin Han on his back, and even David Robinson was very good at shooting. After being entangled by Lin Han, every head-on shooting was quite difficult. In the end, David Robinson, as an inside player, only scored 19 points. Facing a defender who was nearly twenty centimeters shorter than him, David Robinson actually scored only nineteen points!
Such a score can be regarded as terrible!
Of course, David Robinson's performance in this game was quite bad, but as the team's head coach, Bob Hill certainly would not throw all the blame for the team's loss on David Robinson. In fact, although David Robinson's failure in this game was the biggest reason, in addition to this reason, they underestimated Lin Han's inside defense ability even more serious!
If before this game, he could tell his team's player David Robinson and tell him that Lin Han has strong inside defense ability in this game, would David Robinson still lose the rhythm from the beginning of this game because of insufficient preparation?
Lin Han’s inside line is indeed very strong on the defensive end, but no matter how strong it is, can he be as strong as Olajuwon? Of course not. Even if Lin Han’s inside defense is strong, he cannot be as strong as Olajuwon in terms of strength. Even when facing Olajuwon, David Robinson on the offensive end, as long as David Robinson is fully prepared, David Robinson, who has very comprehensive offensive ability, is not afraid of Olajuwon!
Since it is difficult for Olajuwon to catch David Robinson who is well prepared, it is naturally impossible for Lin Han to do it.
"However, this series is not that easy anyway!"
Looking at the Lakers No. 24 on the court and the boss of his team who was still regretting on the court, Bob Hill also thought secretly in his heart.
Whether it is regret or helplessness in this game, it will pass. As a head coach of the NBA, he is still quite proficient in basic skills such as forgetfulness. If he loses this game, there are still future games and future games, it is enough to get the venue back.
If Bob Hill hadn't even had many ripples in his mind after losing this game, but at this time, even though he knew that this game was just an ordinary game in this round of the series, he was still quite amazed.
Originally, before the start of this series, as long as Lin Han could not score ninety-six points, then Bob Hill was confident that he would kick the Lakers out of the playoffs within five games in this series. This is not arrogant. The Lakers could not play Princeton system in this series. If Lin Han’s cancerous play style does not work, how many opportunities can the Lakers have to defeat the Spurs? The chance is quite slim. As for the Lakers will use inout to play equally with the Spurs, who would have thought of such a fantasy thing?
Even no matter how loyal the Lakers fans are, they would not have thought that their team could be more comparable to the Spurs when using inout tactics. This is really fantasy. And such a fantasy thing happened, but this game really happened!
So. When the Lakers defeated the Spurs with inout tactics in this game, even if Bob Hill knew that his team could do better, he knew that Lin Han's inside ability was not as good as David Robinson, but the Lakers and Lin Han still had the strength to defeat the Spurs with inout tactics!
In other words, in this round of series, even if the Lakers and Lin Han do not use Princeton tactics in the next game or the cancer-like singles tactics, the Lakers and Lin Han both have the ability to defeat the Spurs. No matter how many times they can defeat the Spurs in this round of series, in short, the Lakers do have this ability, and this is definitely the thing that makes Bob Hill the most uncomfortable.
Even if Lin Han won ninety in this game, Bob Hill would not be worried because he knew that Lin Han could not always get ninety, so even if he lost this game, he would be confident that he would beat the Lakers four games in a row in the future, and they would definitely win in the end!
Now Lin Han and the Lakers won the game without using 90 or Princeton. Instead, they are completely inout like them. In other words, the victory between the Lakers and Lin Han is no longer due to an accident, but they really have the strength to compete with the Spurs in the same way!
"We were in conflict with the Lakers in the inout tactics, and Lin Han was able to compete with David Robinson at the center. Am I really dreaming?"
When Bob Hill looked at Lin Han again, the smile on her face was full of bitterness, and at this time when the entire arena was filled with cheers for Lin Han. When he and his team finally left the Spurs bench and walked towards the player channel, Bob Hill seemed reluctant to look back at the Lakers No. 24 player who was receiving cheers from the fans on the scene.
"This is a player who can completely subvert basketball values!"
Facing a player like Lin Han, Bob Hill really feels like he has ruined all his views.
Of course, it is definitely not just Bob Hill who feels this way at this time. For example, the general manager of the Spurs, who sat with Lakers general manager Jerry West in the stands, was even more uncomfortable than that of Bob Hill and David Robinson. Especially when he heard Jerry West sitting next to him praise Lin Han, the general manager of the Spurs was so angry that he was so angry!
As a general manager who is determined to pull Jerry West and the Lakers from the dominant position in the West, *Victz has great expectations for this series with the Lakers this year. Although *Victz is just the general manager of a team, he is definitely not inferior to some famous coaches in terms of vision and basketball, after the start of this game, when the Lakers were forced to play inout, he certainly knew that his team was absolutely dominant at that time. Not to mention that he had a good vision, even if he had a bad vision, he could still get Jerry West from him.
When he wanted the answer, at the beginning of this game, when the Lakers played the inout tactics, Jerry West's face was quite ugly, especially when Lin Han played the center, his face was even more ugly. In this case, he certainly knew that the Lakers played the inout or Lin Han played the center was definitely not something the team had thought about in advance, but it was a temporary intention. If he had thought about it in advance, he was still a little worried, but they were all temporary intentions, what other worries could he have? It can be said that like Bob Hill, he was almost waiting for the victory of this game after the start of this game.
However, no one expected that Lin Han would lock David Robinson on the defensive end in this game at the center. In the end, the Lakers defeated the Spurs and won the game.
"Greg, the Spurs performed very well, but we performed better. Compared to David, Lin is a better player."
"Haha, is that? However, this game is just an ordinary game in a round of series. The Lakers' performance in this game is indeed surprising, but this does not mean that the Lakers have won this round of series! Jerry, with your ability, won't you not see the fact that the Spurs are still dominant in this round of series? The Lakers' victory in this game cannot be replicated!"
Looking at the Lakers General Manager beside him who deliberately angered him. *Vic couldn't help it this time after Jerry West finished speaking. He snorted and turned around and left the stadium.
Looking at the back of Vicky leaving, Jerry West, who was still adjusting Vicky just now, also showed a touch of playful smile.
*Vicci's guess is really right. The unconventional Lakers general manager really deliberately angered him to tease him. This is not that Jerry West still grabbed the Spurs' videos and played Lin Han and Rodman at home. In fact, Jerry West has become quite indifferent to the Spurs' videos and played Lin Han and Rodman at home. The reason why he deliberately angered *Vic or teased *Vicci was mainly because he thought the Spurs' general manager was quite interesting.
In this general manager of the Spurs, Jerry West even saw his shadow back then, so Jerry West was very careful about the general manager of the Spurs. You should know that in the NBA, there are 27 general managers alone, which is still active. As for those former general managers, team senior executives or former senior executives, there are really countless. Among these large number of NBA senior executives, only a few of them can attract Jerry West's attention. According to some words, Jerry West's teasing *Vicci is still a blessing for *Vicci. Some people are not qualified to be teased by Jerry West.
"What a hot guy"
Therefore, Jerry West was not very upset about *Vic's behavior at this time, and he kept smiling. There was no way. The performance of the Lakers and Lin Han was too outstanding in this game, or it was too good to be successful. Even himself, he did not expect that Lin Han and the Lakers players would bring him and the team such a victory!
Not to mention Jerry West, even the Lakers media, although the Lakers media have been much more respectful to Lin Han and the Lakers due to the performance of the Lakers and Lin Han in recent times, and have even become the brainless brats of the team and Lin Han. They absolutely believe that their team can defeat the Spurs in this round of series, the day after the end of this game, the entire Los Angeles media was still in a very huge madness!
Especially for Lin Han's performance in this game that resisted David Robinson in the interior, the Los Angeles media wanted to directly use Lin Han's inside strength to tie with the current four centers.
You know, although Lin Han and Jordan are in the league, the popularity of these two players is the highest in the league, but the people with the most famous reputation in the league are definitely not Lin Han and Jordan, but the four centers composed of Olajuwon, Ewing, O'Neal and David Robinson!
The names of these four are definitely the most resounding. After all, in these two teams, although the rise of outside players such as Magic and Jordan has brought great glory to outside players in the past decade, the status of outside players and inside players in the league has also undergone some reversals, but in this era, most fans, experts and even media have come from the center era back then. They have some instinctive fears about these center players who dominate the league, whether they are fans, experts or media.
Fortunately, no one of the four centers has won the championship at this time. If anyone of these four people can win the championship, the reputation of the four centers will probably be even more resounding.
You should know that Jordan has won three consecutive championships now, and there are not many experts in the league saying that this has arrived in the Jordan era, or that it has been over-the-top from the Demon Bird era to the Jordan era, but more willing to say that the league has reached the era of the four centers. Of course, whether it is the era of the four centers or the era of the Jordan era, it is not that the name of the four centers is not inferior or even more famous. From this, we can see how the four centers in this era are favored, just like the xx king in the entertainment industry that Lin Han likes very much. There are people in the entertainment industry, the status, strength and popularity of the xx king in the entertainment industry are better than the xx king, but to say that in the entertainment industry, there is no one who can compare with the four xx kings in terms of momentum, including those international superstars.
Of course, Lin Han’s current status in the NBA is not as good as the international martial arts superstar in the entertainment industry. From a similar perspective, Jordan and the martial arts superstar are equal or surpassing. But no matter what, the Los Angeles media praised Lin Han as the fifth center of the NBA, just like many media forced the track XX kings of the five international superstars, which is quite inappropriate. Even Lin Han blushed when he saw it. Although he thought his strength was stronger than Olajuwon and others, he dared not say that his inside ability was really comparable to Olajuwon and others.
However, after this game, these media without much integrity will not consider what Lin Han feels. Although in recent times, since Lin Han entered the playoffs, many American media, experts or reporters have great expectations for Lin Han. At this time, many people gave up the act of promising or killing Lin Han. However, after this game, even if they don’t praise Lin Han, it will be impossible.
Because after this game, the one who is really crazy is not these media reporters or experts. The one who is really crazy and excited belongs to the NBA fans in the United States or the whole world!
After this game, almost all NBA fans in the United States fell into a madness after watching the Lakers and Spurs. Although the Internet in the United States is not so developed now, computers and Internet access are actually quite popular. Many fans have gradually accepted to express their attitudes on the Internet. After all, this is more direct, and it is more swift and lively than accepting access to TV and newspapers.
However, after all, the Internet belongs to the new media. Although there are already many NBA-themed forums in the United States, most of the time, these basketball forums are not so popular and not so hot. After all, even in NBA, it is not so easy to let everyone discuss a game. This game between the Lakers and the Spurs has definitely aroused the most extensive discussion among league fans!
"It's incredible. I originally thought that when Lin Han was selected for the first team some time ago, the league changed the rules for Lin Han's selection for Lin Han because Lin Han had a lot of votes in five positions. This is just a league hype. From now on, this is not hype at all. If Lin Han appears more in the center position in this season's regular season, then the center position in this season has nothing to do with Olajuwon or David Robinson. Lin Han will be the center of this season! As long as I think of this, I was excited. Unfortunately, although Lin Han played many centers in the regular season, he did not end up as many defenders. He missed the history of the first outside player in the league's history being selected for the first team!"
"Hahahaha, if this really happens, I think it's quite interesting. However, even though Lin Han was unable to reach a center team in the regular season, Lin Han's performance in the playoffs is also quite exciting. Before the start of this division semi-final, I always thought that this year's playoffs would be two major defenders fighting three centers, Lin Han and Jordan against O'Neal, Olajuwon and David Robinson. From now on, the Lakers are determined to keep Lin Han playing center this season. Then the situation in the playoffs this season will become Jordan fighting three major centers Galin Han, or as many Los Angeles media say, if Lin Han is the fifth center in the league, then the situation in the playoffs this season is Jordan fighting the new four major centers in the league!"
"The four new centers in the league? Hahaha, this is very good, but I think New York fans will definitely not be happy. Of course, Jazz fans will not be too happy at this time. If Lin Han still stays with the Jazz, then the Jazz's inside line this season is simply outrageous. Not to mention Jordan, even if Barkley is sent to the Bulls, the Bulls may not be the opponent of the Jazz. If the Jazz keeps Lin Han, then for a long time in the future, no team in the league can defeat the Jazz!"
"Well, there is indeed such a possibility. However, this game is just the first game between the Lakers and the Spurs. David Robinson did lose to Lin Han, but it was more because of an accident. If Lin Han can keep playing like this in the next game, then I will support Lin Han, Olajuwon, O'Neal or David Robinson to form the new four centers in the league, hahahahaha."
When the game ended, American fans were discussing whether Lin Han could replace Ewing as the fourth largest center in the league. You should know that even the Los Angeles media, who praised Lin Han the most powerfully, just said that Lin Han was the fifth largest center. Although the meaning of raising Lin Han is very obvious, they dare not say that Lin Han can replace one of the four. These American fans really don’t have so many concerns at all. Of course, this can also be seen that although these American fans were surprised by Lin Han’s game against David Robinson, they were more dissatisfied with Ewing’s performance this season.
After all, as a team that participated in the Finals last season, this season was only eighth in the regular season and was swept out by the Bulls in the first round of the playoffs. For Ewing, this year's performance is a nightmare, whether it is the regular season or the playoffs. For the players with the most famous league, how can Ewing's performance this season be worthy of the title of the four major centers in the league?
You should know that no matter what fans of any team in the league, they have a deep complex for the four centers, and their expectations for this combination are also quite deep. For the four players in this combination, the other three are still in the playoffs at this time, and only Ewing is eliminated early. How can this be satisfactory?
Therefore, these American fans' flattery of Lin Han is more dissatisfied with Ewing, believing that his performance this season has tarnished the combination they are deeply looking forward to.
If Lin Han’s performance in the future is not satisfactory, or if his performance in the inside is a flash in the pan, these American fans’ praise of Lin Han will disappear instantly, which is definitely not just a joke!
Of course, Lin Han doesn't know much about all this. Now the entire league is crazy about his affairs. For the Lakers or Spurs, both sides have been in a semi-closed state before the start of this round of series. Whether it is the Lakers or Spurs, after the game, except for routine interviews, the contact between the players of both sides and the outside world is quite limited.
In this case, the Los Angeles Lakers and Spurs also ushered in the second playoff game between the two sides! (To be continued)
