Chapter 462 Advance to the Western Conference Finals!
"It's so awesome, the boss is so awesome. The dominance he showed in this game is simply incredible. I have never seen any NBA player who can show such terrifying dominance on both offense and defense."
When the fifth game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Spurs ended with the crazy shouts of Lakers fans throughout the game, when the game ended, as the best player in this game, Lin Han, the head player of the Lakers, stood in the center of the stadium to receive applause from the audience, and when all the reporters and experts on the scene stood up to applause for Lin Han after the game ended, O'Neal, who has been preparing for the playoffs with the Lakers for a while, looked at Lin Han in the center of the stadium, who was almost like the focus of the world.
As Lin Han won the All-Star Game this year, although O'Neal's personal strength has not reached much strength, he is absolutely not bad in terms of vision. Before the start of this game, he, who is half a Lakers player, knows more clearly than others. Before the start of this game, the Lakers' internal team was almost on the verge of collapse. Except for Lin Han, other Lakers players almost lost any confidence in this round of the series. In such a situation, Lin Han finally stabilized the Lakers' mentality before the game.
After the game started, he used a premeditated fight to boost the fighting spirit of Lakers players. If it were just like this, it would be respectable. But if the game was lost, it would be useless. In fact, this guy actually forced the Spurs into a desperate situation with his own strength in the game, and finally led the team to defeat the powerful Spurs. Not only did he defeat the powerful Spurs, but the Spurs didn't even have any chance in the end. Even the entire series of Spurs gave people a feeling that they were about to finish. If nothing unexpected happens, the Lakers' chances of advancing after the end of this game are already very great!
"This is normal. He is a unique player. He is also an omnipotent role model."
As Lin Han's loyal supporter Iverson is the person who is most satisfied with this game. Before the start of this game, he was a little worried that Lin Han and the Lakers would be eliminated in this game, but the final result was that Lin Han's performance was stronger than he imagined. In other words, for Iverson who dreamed of Lin Han every day, Lin Han's strength was stronger than the Lin Han in his dream.
So, after O'Neal Jr. finished speaking with emotion, Iverson's face smiled very sweetly at this time. For him, such a Lin Han is the player worthy of his pursuit, and such Lin Han is worthy of his idol. Iverson was also full of excitement for Lin Han's terrifying strength, and this excitement was almost the same as Jordan. Jordan was already a little impatient to stage the peak showdown on the finals stage, and Iverson was also a little impatient to let Lin Han test his strength and progress.
Of course, at this time, Iverson and O'Neal Jr. looked at Lin Han with respect and admiration, but for Pierce, who has always been very precocious, after seeing Lin Han's performance in this game, it was really melancholy. As a high school student who had aspirations back then, his goal was to chase Lin Chaoqiao. In the whole United States, almost most of the idols and goals of high school students are Lin Han and Jordan. This is almost unquestionable. Therefore, among these American high school students geniuses, they are absolutely geniuses.
Not only Pierce has the idea and goal of surpassing Lin Han to defeat Jordan, but everyone actually thinks this way. However, the previous idea was indeed good, but the reality is quite cruel. Especially after Pierce has signed up for the draft, she can't even get into the Chicago training camp. You know, Lin Han spent 10,000 US dollars to buy it. With Pierce's family affairs, Pierce, who can be regarded as a middle- and upper-class family in Los Angeles, of course, is not short of ten thousand US dollars. If 10,000 US dollars
He would never be stingy with the money he could buy into the official Chicago training camp in the NBA. However, because Lin Han bought the Chicago training camp last year, the incident caused too much because of Lin Han's incident. Now the staff in the training camp do not dare to collect black money anymore. This directly led to Pierce having nowhere to go for bribes. In the end, he became a genius who wanted to chase Lin Chaoqiao to a player who might not be able to gain a foothold in the NBA in the draft. This gap is really too big. If it is said that
Before, Pierce still had his own strength in his heart, but he lacked a stage for himself to develop. If he could give him a stage, he would definitely not be much worse than Lin Han and Jordan, and even some aspects of him were stronger than Lin Han and Jordan. However, after this game, Pierce would probably find it difficult to stick to his idea. For Lin Han who is almost perfect, Pierce really has difficulty with having the confidence to say that he can defeat him or surpass him in the future. This seems to be a bit difficult.
For Pierce, whose future is not very bright at this time, a goal of surpassing Lin Han is really getting slim. Similarly, although the future is much brighter than Pierce, Garnett and Kobe are not in a good mood at this time, and are even worse than Pierce. After all, Pierce's wish to surpass Lin Han to defeat Jordan in his heart is just the public's wish. To put it bluntly, everyone knows that this is a dream and is difficult to achieve. Just like every ordinary man wants to control the world and be drunk and lying on the beauty paint, this is just a dream. Even if this dream is broken, life will not lose its meaning. But for Garnett and Kobe, these two are different from ordinary geniuses. Their original expectations are very high. To surpass Lin Han to defeat Jordan, for these two, it is definitely not a so-called dream, but a goal!
"Is this the strength of the top NBA players?"
Lin Han has played many amazing games in his career, four-double, ninety, and even sixty in the playoffs. However, for Lin Han personally, his performance in the classic games in the past is definitely not the same level as this game. This game really controls the whole game. A team like the Spurs at the final level really suffered a crushing defeat with Lin Han alone. And such a crushing defeat is not because of the Spurs' poor performance. What's even more terrifying is that Lin Han almost crushed a player like David Robinson, a top star in the league.
There is no doubt that in Garnett and Kobe's opinion, this game is definitely the most terrifying game in Lin Han's career. Even in this game, Lin Han's personal data is not so outstanding in his career.
Of course, although Garnett and Kobe are both players with considerable ambitions and competitive spirit, Garnett is generally optimistic and open-minded. Although Garnett was a little helpless after knowing the gap between himself and Lin Han, he was a little helpless, but he was just helpless. After feeling a little unhappy, he quickly returned to normal, but Kobe was different.
Although Kobe doesn't like titles such as Lin Han's successor or Lin Han's second generation. As a player who doesn't even see Jordan, he publicly said that he would defeat Lin Han and Jordan in an interview last year. His enthusiasm is much greater than Garnett. In this case, how could he like the title of a certain second generation? But as Lin Han's performance gets better and better, his status in the league is getting higher and higher. In fact, although Kobe doesn't like this title very much, he finally accepted it. After all, as Lin Han's status and strength increase, especially after winning the awards of scoring, rebounding king and MVP and best defensive player, the value of Lin Han's second generation and Lin Han's successor is definitely no less than that of Jordan's second generation or Jordan's successor. So Kobe gradually accepted this title.
Moreover, in Kobe's opinion, his strength is enough to be called such a title. In his opinion, he is not just a skill that turns back and falls back and jumps, but his other aspects are also very similar to Lin Han, so to some extent, Kobe really feels that he and Lin Han are really similar, but because he is still young and his methods have not reached the level of Lin Han.
So, although Kobe now knows that he is only Lin Han's younger brother, Kobe has always been very clear that sooner or later he will be able to catch up with Lin Han or even surpass Lin Han. All he needs is time. As long as he gives him a few years to improve himself, as long as his age reaches Lin Han's current age, he really believes that he can surpass Lin Han now. Therefore, even if he is Lin Han's younger brother, Kobe has always said that sooner or later he will step on Lin Han to the ground. This is not just Kobe's words, but really serious.
However, from this game, Kobe finally found that he seemed to be underestimating Lin Han's strength. The strength that Lin Han really possessed was not as simple as he imagined. Just from the extremely terrifying organizational ability shown by Lin Han in this game, Kobe felt beyond the reach.
As a player who plays his personal offense to the extreme, Lin Han can also exert his organizational ability to the extreme. Although he is not an NBA player, because of the father of an NBA player, Kobe has a very good understanding of many NBA terms. He is also very clear about the legend of guiding passes. He has really heard of it from his father. As long as he really completes this pass, he will be the point guard at the top ten levels in history!
Even Kobe, who is very confident in himself, is a little nervous whenever he thinks of this pronoun and noun. He is confident that he can become the top ten or even the top five shooting guards in history, and even like Lin Han, he is willing to believe that he has the opportunity to attack the top three shooting guards in history, but Kobe really can't imagine that the top ten point guards in history, at the age of Lin Han or in his career.
"Is this the difference between me and him?"
Looking at Lin Han, who was enjoying the glory from all the fans and audiences all over the world at this time, Kobe looked at Lin Han with unwillingness. However, with Kobe's personality, such unwillingness was soon abandoned by him, and strong self-confidence once again emerged from his heart.
"No, since Lin Han can do it, I can do it too. He can stand at the peak of personal basketball and team basketball, and I can also stand at the peak of personal basketball and team basketball!"
Finally, after shouting in his heart, Kobe made an extremely important decision, of course, this major decision will definitely affect his career.
Of course, after this game, I'm afraid that many Lin Han fans who aim at NBA in front of the TV will change their style of play like Lin Han, just as Lin Hanfei dunked Ewing caused the imitation of young American basketball enthusiasts.
For example, a boy named McGrady in Florida was full of excitement when he looked at the Lakers No. 24 player on the TV.
"It turns out that Lin Han is not just a personal basketball. It turns out that the Lin Han-style basketball I imitated is only a part. I must perfectly copy Lin Han-style basketball!"
As Lin Han's brainless honey, the boy who imitated Lin Han's personal basketball imitation was almost as obsessed with the fact that the young man who was ruthlessly abandoned by the team's head coach was also ready to change his playing style at this time.
Of course, for Lin Han, it is certainly impossible for him to know all these changes. At this time, Lin Han, who was surrounded by all Lakers fans in the game, was immersed in the joy of victory.
After the Lakers won the game at home and in the final game against the Spurs. After Lin Han's Lakers perfectly suppressed the Spurs, the suspense of this round of the series has slowly been revealed, or in other words, it is very clear that the Lakers have gone from a lagging side to an advantage in this round of the series.
In this case, the Lakers fans on the scene knew very well that maybe the Lakers could advance when they went away in the next game. In this case, the Lakers fans were also speechless because they were really unlucky. In the last round of duels with the Warriors, the Lakers swept the Warriors, and the Lakers finally advanced at the Warriors' home court.
OK. This time, although this round of showdown has not ended, the Lakers are already extremely likely to complete the promotion at the Spurs' home court. In this case, they are once again unable to accompany the Lakers to advance at their home court.
So, after the victory of this game, these Lakers fans were almost cheering for their team and Lin Han with the enthusiasm of the team to win the series. This enthusiasm even the journalists and experts on the scene were infected. Almost after the game, under the inspiration of the Lakers fans, they couldn't help but applaud Lin Han and the Lakers.
And this atmosphere is definitely quite enjoyable for Lin Han.
Of course, no matter what kind of enjoyment, it is a time for the NBA to end. Although this victory of Tianwangshan made Lakers players and fans celebrate for a long time, after leaving the arena, although they were still unsatisfied, Lin Han and other Lakers players also came to their senses a little. Of course, at this time, the Lakers players no longer had the same worries as before the start of the game.
"Boss, thank you. If it weren't for you, I really couldn't believe that I could enter the Western Conference Finals for the first time in my career. This is really incredible."
When Lin Han returned to the locker room after leaving the stadium and finished the game, he was almost greeted by the team's players. When Lin Han walked into the locker room, he watched all the Lakers players applaud him in a queue led by the team's head coach Magician and the team's consultant Carell, Lin Han was shocked. You know, in the NBA, such cheers are definitely the highest level, especially when Eddie Jones directly pounced on Lin Han and hugged Lin Han with a little sob, which made Lin Han a little shocked.
"Okay, Eddie, it's just the Western Conference Finals. You should know that although you are indeed one of the few players among the rookies who can enter the Western Conference Finals in their first season, don't forget that there are two players among your teammates who have won the Finals MVP in their rookie season."
Finally, Lin Han, who came to his senses, smiled and patted Eddie Jones on the back and pushed the overly excited teammate away, and said jokingly. After Lin Han finished speaking, the entire Lakers locker room, including the Magician, burst into laughter.
"Yes, Eddie, in such a team with only two super [straight] patterns, your achievements are really nothing. However, if we can enter the finals this season, you can compete with the boss for the MVP of the finals."
After Lin Han finished speaking, Antonio Harvey, who was laughing, also joked with Eddie Jones, but it was obvious. After Antonio Harvey finished speaking, the other Lakers players looked at Lin Han and the Magician with a different look.
For this young Lakers, many players played in the playoffs for the first time in their careers. For them, the Lakers' course of this season's playoffs was not very smooth. It can be said that when facing the Spurs, they were almost on the verge of being eliminated. In this case, although they are likely to eliminate the Spurs at this time and enter the Western Conference Finals, for Lakers, they still dare not shout out the slogan of the finals or even the championship immediately. In this case, although they played in the playoffs for the first time, they already understood the difficulties of the playoffs. In such a difficult playoffs, how did Lin Han and the Magic complete the miracle of the finals MVP in the first season of their careers? I have to say that these two people cannot be evaluated as ordinary players.
"Hmph, if we can really enter the finals this season, I will definitely compete with the boss for MVP. Don't worry!"
Faced with Harvey's jokes, Eddie Jones quickly shouted unwillingly. However, after he finished calling, the laughter of other Lakers players became even louder, and even Lin Han on the side laughed loudly at this time. Of course, he knew that Eddie Jones was just kidding, definitely not like he wanted to grab Malone's MVP last season.
Of course, after the Lakers' victory, the atmosphere was quite excellent, which is definitely a good thing for the Lakers. As the Lakers, because of Lin Han's extremely unique way of leading the team, the biggest problem of this team has always been the problem of excessive pressure from other players, and now, it is definitely not easy for other Lakers players to be able to relax and relax.
So, at this time, Jerry West, who was standing outside the locker room with his two assistants, heard the laughter inside, and Jerry West, who originally wanted to push the door and put his right hand down.
"Mr. West, aren't you going to go in?"
After watching Jerry West put down his right hand, Kupchek on the side also asked in confusion.
"Forget it, I think they don't need us at this time."
After saying that, Jerry West smiled and turned away, while Kupchek and Patrick also looked at each other in confusion and then left with Jerry West.
After defeating the Spurs at home, the Lakers' current situation is now very good. Such a good situation is not only reflected within the Lakers. On the second day after the game, almost all important media in the United States focused on the front page of their sports version of the game.
Almost all of these media reports are based on praise for the Lakers and incredible Lin Han.
Even Lin Han's archenemy media, the New York Times, praised Lin Han and the Lakers on the front page of its sports page.
Joke, this game between the Lakers and the Spurs can almost be said to be a game that the entire American NBA fans and the entire world are focusing on. After all, this is a battle between the King of Kings, and it is a battle between the two teams in the top three in the West. There is also a popular NBA player like Lin Han. So the day after the end of this game, when the league announced that the ratings of this game reached 18%, almost the entire American public opinion was in an uproar. You know, before Lin Han entered the league, the highest average viewership in NBA history was about 18%. Although this season, Lin Han and Jordan detonated N
After Ba, such ratings are no longer the highest. Some media even predict that if Lin Han and Jordan enter the finals at the same time this season and perform 23 vs 24, then the NBA's ratings are likely to exceed 25%. It is possible to break the highest ratings of American basketball games maintained by Larry Bird and the Magic when they met at NCAA. Therefore, although the 18% ratings are very high for this season, they are definitely not really that high. However, don't forget that this is just the Western Conference semi-finals, and the 18% ratings are almost considered to be the most NBA fans who have watched this game.
In this case, Lin Han's performance in this game was almost a milestone in his career, and most fans in the United States saw it. Even the Jordan fans who dislike Lin Han the most did not criticize or challenge Lin Han after the game ended. If the New York Times dared to black Lin Han after the game ended, then they would really not want their prestige. Obviously, as one of the best media in the United States, the New York Times still have a very IQ.
Moreover, at this time, compared to Black Lin Han, there is no doubt that Black David Robinson is wiser. You should know that in this season's playoffs, Ewing and David Robinson's performance is not very good. Especially Ewing, not only was she deducted by Lin Han Fei in the regular season and her performance plummeted, but she was tragically eliminated by the Bulls in the first round. In this case, at the end of the first round, the dissatisfaction of the entire American media and fans with Ewing reached a fixed point. Many very mean media and fans even shouted out that Ewing is no longer worthy of the title of the four centers. Faced with such public pressure, it is difficult for the New York Times to whitewash Ewing. In the end, they could only watch the leading players of their team being bombarded by the public opinion of the entire United States.
And now, it's better. David Robinson's performance against the Lakers in the second round. As the head of the Spurs, David Robinson performed worse than Ewing. Although Ewing did not perform well and lost to Jordan again, Ewing did not let Jordan defeat him in the inside. What about David Robinson? One of the strongest centers in the league. He was defeated by Lin Han as a guest center player, which simply surprised the whole world.
Although in the last game, David Robinson fought against Lin Han almost at the risk of injury, which was almost the same as the battle with Lin Han, but it was obvious that he still could not suppress Lin Han. The Spurs' tactical intentions were not realized. Even this was just the wishful thinking of Spurs fans and many media sympathizing with David Robinson said that in fact, as the offensive side, he did not overthrow Lin Han and was unable to consume Lin Han a lot, which was already a strategic failure.
If David Robinson is not blacked at this time, then when will he have to wait?
Therefore, after the end of the Lakers and Spurs' Tianwang Mountain, the public opinion in the entire United States was almost completely different from the previous five games. In the previous five games, whether the Spurs were dominant or the Lakers were dominant, all the American media were quite restrained because they were really afraid of being slapped in the face by these two teams, and these two teams also had this ability. But now, even Lakers fans can see that the Lakers can already end this round of the series at the Spurs' home court. Can these media experts still not see it?
At this time, it is not about being slapped by the Lakers or Spurs in the face, but about how to win your prestige if you want to win? Obviously, you are standing on the side of the team that is about to win and crazily stepping on the side that is about to fail to show your correctness.
So, after returning to San Antonio, the general manager of the Spurs, who was already full of anger in Los Angeles, Vicky was really angry when he saw media across the United States, and even San Antonio's own media complaining about the team and David Robinson.
"A group of fence-grass raised in the green pond!"
On May 20, when *Vicy hit a pile of newspapers in his hand on the desk in front of him, Buford, who was standing aside, sighed helplessly at this time, and could only silently pick up the newspapers scattered on the ground.
Although he was unwilling to admit that the Spurs were in a very bad situation at this time, there was no doubt that this was a fact. Although these media had no moral integrity, their sense of smell was better than that of a dog's nose.
Even the current situation of the Spurs is even worse than what these media say.
After the Spurs failed in the last game, the entire team was in a slump after returning to San Antonio. Buford did not blame these Spurs players. The loss in the last game was too bad for the team's morale. If the loss in the first two games of this round of the series could make the Spurs confident that they still had a trump card to defeat the Lakers, then the loss in the last game was almost fatal. The team's tactical system lags behind the Lakers.
That's all, the team can compete with the opponent in the end, and the opponent in the inside. As long as they can win against Lin Han, the team still has a chance to defeat the Lakers, but the final result is that the boss of the team, which was originally an inside, actually lost to the opponent's outside boss when they competed against the inside. Such failure was so crazy. Not to mention these Spurs players, even David Robinson himself was a little depressed at this time.
Of course, Buford, whom he knows very well, is of course aware of. At this time, *Vic's anger was not about these media, but more about being dissatisfied with the team's out of control. After all, tomorrow will be a battle for the team's absolute life and death, and the team is now in such an emotion, which makes people quite desperate.
But even though we know that the team is quite desperate at this time, what can they do?
Now, let alone they can't find a way to change the team, I'm afraid even the Cardinals may not be able to bring the team into the track of victory. The Spurs' disadvantages facing the Lakers are almost irreversible and structural failures!
"I really didn't expect that Lin Han's strength had grown to this point, nor did I really expect that Lin Han's restraint against the Spurs had reached such a level. The Spurs, which looked extremely wonderful, had such major flaws at critical moments. It seems that the team needs a super insider who can really relieve David Robinson's pressure."
After picking up all the newspapers on the ground, Buford also secretly thought in his heart that although the league does not lack insiders at this time, there are not so many insiders who can partner with David Robinson at the level. This is also a very big problem.
Of course, after the critical battle of Tianwang Mountain, the entire Spurs team fell into quite chaos. At this time, the Lakers flew to San Antonio again, and the sixth game between the Spurs and the Lakers is about to begin.
At 9 o'clock in the evening on May 21, 1995, at the San Antonio Alamo Stadium, when the Lakers played as a away team, the Spurs fans in the entire stadium were still booed by the Lakers players, especially when Lin Han appeared. It was almost the first time that Lin Han faced booed beyond Magic Johnson, and Lin Han's performance in this round of series was almost completely seen by Spurs fans. The Spurs lost to Lin Han rather than losing to the Lakers. In this case, their hatred for the Magic was almost accepted by Lin Han.
Although these Spurs fans also know that their team will be difficult to defeat the Lakers in this game, and the strength and contrast between the two sides have undergone a huge reversal, it is impossible to make these resolute Spurs fans surrender directly to Lin Han. Although Texas fans are not as crazy as fans of Celtics and other teams, their firmness is not bad at all. Even if the team loses, even if the team is eliminated, it will be difficult to be conquered by their opponents. If they were so easy to conquer, the magicians of the past would have conquered them long ago.
It's just obvious that although the Spurs fans are still full of fighting spirit, and although the Spurs fans are still quite enthusiastic in this game, their fighting spirit and enthusiasm are really hard to replace their team. Although everyone in the Spurs players is still considered a qualified professional player, facing the Lakers, which is like a tiger going down the mountain at this time, when the game ended, when the Spurs fans on the scene saw the red and spicy score on the sidelines, they were still a little lost.
111-101, the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Spurs again with a 10-point advantage away. At the same time, after the game, the Lakers defeated the Spurs 4-2 in the Western Conference semi-finals and entered the Western Conference Finals. As the Lakers' player in this game, Lin Han, who rarely scored triple-double in the second round after crazy triple-double in the first round, scored 33 points, 17 rebounds and 14 assists, once again fully included this game!
"Finally, I'm back to the Western Conference Finals again!"
And the moment after the game, looking at his teammates who were already running towards him frantically, Lin Han even vaguely thought of this time last year.
But, the difference is that the Jazz have fallen in the first round, and all his teammates have been replaced! (To be continued)
Chapter completed!
