Chapter 470 Lin Han's trump card!(1/2)

"I know what you want to ask. I have said it a lot. This is the last time. The Rockets are indeed taking some special methods against Lin Han and the Lakers at this time. However, what I want to say is that the Rockets will not allow themselves to lose in any game. Do you understand? In other words, the Rockets will never choose to defeat the Lakers 4-1 as long as they have the chance. The goal we pursue will not change at any time, that is, sweep the opponent. Of course, if the opponent is strong enough, there is no problem with any big score, which is not a problem."

"What do you have to say about Lin Han's defense? There is nothing to say. You have also seen that our defense in the first two games was very good. Hakim is one of the best defensive players in the NBA right now. Our team is quite satisfied with his performance. He is a very reassuring defender. We don't need to make any brags about his performance. In our hearts, Hakim has always been the best defensive player and MVP, the real best defensive player and the real MVP!"

"Is there anything to say about Lin Han's performance in these two games? There is nothing to say about this. I will say it again. I know very well what you want me to say, and I don't care about saying those things according to your ideas, but unfortunately, I don't want to do that at this time. I still have the same sentence. I know him better than you. What level of player he is. I know better than you. He is not what you boast about before, he is already an omnipotent football king. Also, they don't say much now that they are just an ordinary superstar. ∷If I really say this, this is not only a disrespect for him, but also a disrespect for ourselves!"

"You just need to remember that no matter what level of player he is, he will never be able to defeat the Rockets, and he will never be able to escape from our palms!"

As the Western Conference semi-finals become more and more clear, the Rockets' advantage seems to be getting bigger and bigger. The public opinion in the entire United States is constantly biased at this time. For Lin Han, it is not so easy for him to find a few newspapers in the newspapers that he and his team are still in the supporters. Moreover, judging from the media interviews Barkley received after coming to Los Angeles, the Rockets were quite confident after the end of the first two games. At least, Barkley was already quite confident at this time.

"No matter what level of players, it is impossible to beat our players."

Looking at Barkley's answer in the newspaper when he was interviewed by reporters, Lin Han was also a little confused at this time. Obviously, this Rockets player really made fun of Lin Han a lot when he was interviewed. Although it seemed that he didn't treat Lin Han, anyone with a discerning eye could tell. Almost every sentence was directed at Lin Han.

What does it mean to sweep Lin Han? What does Olajuwon mean to be the real MVP and the best defensive player? You must know that Lin Han is the real best defensive player and the best defensive player this season. And Olajuwon has never won the honor of MVP in his career!

As for what this guy said in the end, no matter what Lin Han is like, it is impossible to defeat the Rockets. This is simply telling the whole world that the Rockets came to Los Angeles to prepare to sweep the Lakers. Sweeping Lin Han, instantly returning everything Lin Han had given them twice as much as he had given them!

Faced with such confident Barkley Linhan, who was so confident, didn't know what to say when he was holding the newspaper at his home. He could only look at the photo of Barkley with a confident face in the newspaper and smiled helplessly.

After all, no matter what the opponent says, this is freedom as an opponent. Lin Han cannot care about these things, nor can he care about them. Moreover, as Lin Han, who has played professional competitions for two years, he has seen a lot of such things. Although it would be quite unhappy to be despised by the other party, he has long been adapting to it.

It's just obvious that although Lin Han has adapted quite at this time, this does not mean that others will adapt quite well. For example, the younger sister and second sister who were sitting next to Lin Han at this time have been on holiday recently. At this time, they are holding the newspaper in their hands and looking at the fat Barkley in the newspaper gritting their teeth.

"This guy is so arrogant, right? You have to lose four games to be eliminated? Now you have only lost two games. This guy is so impatient. Lin Han, your team is too weak, right? He is so despised by others?!"

"Yes, brother, this guy seems to have been saying bad things about you recently."

Although Lin Han was already a professional player at this time, his second sister and younger sister still couldn't like this sport. At most, they just had a little clearer understanding of the rules of the NBA. They really didn't know the level of these players in the NBA. They have heard a lot about who Jordan, Olajuwon, and who Barkley, but if they were talking about who these players are superstars, who are all-stars and who are role players, it would be really a bit embarrassing for them. Even Lin Han is not very clear about what level of the entire NBA. I'm afraid at most that Lin Han is very famous now and has the possibility of making headlines on the front page almost every day. He should be considered a very famous star. As for the others, he is not very clear.

So, in recent times, what really made Lin Han confused is not the things that were ridiculed or looked down upon by Barkley and Rockets players. What really made Lin Han extremely confused is that he didn't know how to explain the questions and complaints of his second sister and younger sister.

These two laymen were very unhappy about Barkley and the Rockets' behavior that they clearly wanted to bully Lin Han at this time. This situation also made Lin Han laugh a little, but was also quite touched. After all, they obviously didn't know how to comfort themselves. They could only complain about their opponents to let Lin Han find spiritual comfort, so that Lin Han knew that there were people around him who supported him. Although this method was too lifelike, it was like a child being bullied outside. When they returned home, their parents comforted the child while scolding the other party. Although it actually had no effect. In the end, the child would definitely burst into tears and laugh as their parents scolded the other party.

But it is obvious that Lin Han is no longer a child, and Lin Han is no longer so naive.

Of course, even if it is not a child, Lin Han is willing to accept this kind of heart.

At least, my younger sister and second sister are much more conscientious than my unconscientious girlfriend.

After a brief glance at his unruly girlfriend who was still drinking morning tea leisurely, Lin Han was speechless at this time.

Compared to his second sister and younger sister, although his girlfriend is not old, this guy is at least one of the creators of the legendary system. His knowledge and ability of basketball are definitely top-notch. His second sister and younger sister can still use alternative methods to comfort Lin Han in the past two days, and this little girl seems to have not seen it these two days, and she is still at ease.

All day is left to get up, have breakfast, have morning tea, have lunch, have afternoon tea, have lunch break, eat after dinner, watch TV, count your gold, have sex, and sleep.

If this girl hadn't looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, Lin Han thought that this guy was decaying, but in fact, this guy was indeed so unruly that he had become decaying. It has been almost half a year since he came to his house, and this guy has been so lazy that he even apologized for going out.

"It's really a waste of my ability."

Thinking of his girlfriend's appearance, Lin Han could be regarded as seeing her girlfriend who was leisurely drinking morning tea at this time and murmured to herself.

Especially when thinking about the heroines in the knight novels, who can go to the hall and talk about the kitchen. They are the omnipotent queen outside, and when they return home, they can be fucked by a female wolf at will.

And his girlfriend even needs to charge money for sex, so who can I ask for reason? Anyway, Lin Han really doesn't know what to say to her unconventional girlfriend at this time.

"Can you not stare at me with that very strange look?"

Just as Lin Han was thinking of these messy things speechlessly, Ling Meng, who was leisurely drinking morning tea, said with dissatisfaction. When this guy glared at Lin Han, he did not put down the tea cup in his hand. After wrinkling the media, he didn't even look at Lin Han again, and he drank tea leisurely again, as if he was a waste of time when he said something more to Lin Han.

There is no doubt that having such a girlfriend is really hurting Lin Han's self-esteem. In the end, Lin Han simply stopped expecting this girl. This girl is even more scammed than Aili's cheating guy.

Of course, although Lin Han can feel a lot of comfort in the past few days, whether in the team or at home, he will definitely stand on his side when he encounters difficulties, and there is nothing to say about this.

And in the entire Lakers, the Lakers are now facing such a problem. In fact, there are different differences within the team.

You know, now, this round is in the Western Conference Finals, not in the last round of the Western Conference Semi-finals. Within the entire team, many players, whether young or older players, are quite unhappy with the Rockets and think that this team is really too arrogant.

But although everyone is unhappy with the Rockets, at this time, everyone's goals are not really the same. In the eyes of many Lakers players, it is enough for the team to reach this point. After all, the Lakers are only just the first year of the team building. In the first year of the team building, the team was able to reach the Western Conference Finals, which is actually very in line with everyone's expectations. After all, the Lakers are not an old team. This team has its own room for growth. At least, the results of the Western Conference Finals this season will make the entire team full of expectations for the future.

In this case, as the future of the team, Lin Han, of course, everyone hopes that Lin Han can understand this. Some people hope that Lin Han can understand this and clearly know that their future will be in the future rather than the present. There is no need to really fall into the revenge trap of Barkley, Olajuwon and Drexler. Protecting yourself is the first priority.

Most of the people who have this idea are the team's coaches and veterans. They are more experienced than ordinary young players and are more clear about the reality of the NBA. Although they also know that with Lin Han's personality, it is difficult to be really defeated, any player, even if a persevering person like Jordan, will be depressed or unable to think about it for one or two seasons after a big blow, let alone Lin Han?

For these veterans, they would never be willing to accept that Lin Han would have to adjust the time for one or two seasons to go back due to the blow this season, because those young Lakers players can wait for Lin Han to go back, but older players don’t have such time. Just like the Bulls before, Grant and Pippen were able to grow with Jordan together, which is right, but can veterans such as Iceman and others accompany Jordan to grow together? This is impossible.

Of course, when facing such huge choices and difficulties, the Lakers did not agree very much. Since they had the ideas of these veterans, the young players of the team naturally had their own ideas. Although they also hoped that Lin Han could protect himself, compared to the conservativeness of those veterans, the newcomers were a little more radical. There was a tradition in the Lakers.

As a famous aristocratic team in the league, the Lakers have a tradition of not fighting with each other after falling behind 0-3. That is, compared to teams like the Celtics, the Lakers actually don’t care whether they are swept. 0-4 is not something that the Lakers can’t accept. Because after the team is 0-3 or 0-2 in the first round, they naturally don’t care about accepting being swept by others.

This is not a shameful thing in the Lakers' eyes, it is called the elegance of the nobles. Since there is no example of 0-3 in the history of the league, why should the team fight for the so-called face? There is no need to do anything like the Celtics, even if they give their face, it is not wise to the Lakers.

Therefore, although both young players and elderly players are consistent in their attitude towards the Rockets and do not like it, they are also very clear about the future of this round of series, that is, losing is almost a foregone conclusion. Although everyone is not willing to accept such a result, this is almost a fact.

However, in any way, people have different opinions on accepting the results of this season. On the one hand, there are conservative veterans, team senior managers and coaches. In their opinion, this round is just like this, and it’s okay to get out four to zero. When your strength comes, there is no need to pay too much for the doomed failure now. This is also in line with the historical tradition of the Lakers.

In the past ten years, the Lakers lost three games in the first round or other rounds, or four games in a row. Although there are not many games that really swept, it is basically impossible to win the series. Most of the time, the Lakers' first choice is not to fight as hard as the Celtics, but to protect themselves. This is also a fact. The most famous one should be the final in 1989. Scott twisted his ankle and the Magicians injured his thigh in the second game of the finals. After the team lost two games directly, Lakers

The People team lost four games in a row, but the Magic went up and turned around in the third game, but it didn't work in the fourth game. Of course, tendon strain does affect the players' performance, especially for the point guard, after the strain on the back of the thigh, he can't even break through, and can only play. However, if the Lakers are really determined, the Magic will definitely be able to complete the game on the court. Although he can't really beat the Pistons, he will definitely have the opportunity to save the face of a game.

After all, in the history of the NBA, thigh strain is too normal for point guards. In important occasions such as the Finals, injuries that can play in such a field will never give up even if they die on the court. Moreover, for players, if they can, who would be willing to miss the finals? Therefore, in the history of the NBA, especially in the playoffs, many point guards still stay on the court and walk to complete the game after thigh strain.

Of course, we cannot say that there is anything wrong with the Magicians. After all, this is also a choice. When facing a game that has been considered a predetermined loss, there is no need to pay for the sake of face. Teams that really make many crazy actions for the sake of face are definitely not so-called nobles. The nobles should come and leave calmly.

Therefore, facing such a Lakers, the Celtic fans at the time have many ridiculed the characteristics of the Lakers. In the finals, the Celtic players directly targeted the Lakers' aristocratic traits, using very rogue behavior, and finally turned the defeat into victory and won the championship.

However, even though the Lakers' characteristics have made them lose a lot of things, the Lakers have also obtained a lot of things because of this characteristics. At least, now in the NBA. The two giant teams, whether they are the Celtics or the Lakers, will no longer blame each other for their style, and they are considered to respect their characteristics.

Therefore, in the face of such a situation, the Lakers' internal and senior management, especially the Lakers' senior management who has created the aristocratic traits and styles of the Lakers, such as Lakers' godfather Jerry West, will definitely not allow Lin Han to have any problems in order to win in a face-to-face manner.

After all, the Rockets are already clearly targeting Lin Han at this time. If this is just an ordinary series, Jerry West would not care whether Lin Han is fighting for face. After all, in an ordinary series, everyone will not target the opponent's boss without any grudges. They deliberately humiliate the opponent's boss, and the Rockets are really doing this. If Lin Han really has something wrong with this round of series, who will he and the Lakers seek to make sense?

It’s just obvious that the senior executives of the Lakers have such an idea. This idea is the same as those veterans, but the ideas of these young players are not so aristocratic. Obviously, the young players of any team are more radical in style. For these young players of the Lakers, there is no problem losing to the Rockets, but they must not be so arrogant, or they must not be able to sweep themselves as they wish.

Therefore, you have to win a series.

Of course, whether it is these conservative veterans or those radical newcomers, although there is a difference at this time, one thing is certain, that is, the team can no longer play the Princeton tactical system. Although the Princeton tactical system team played very well, they can score about 110 points in each game, which is already very good. It is quite rare to have such offensive performances in the Rockets, but it is obvious that because the Princeton tactical system requires the Magic to play inside the field, this is almost a defensive colander defensive decision that allows the Rockets to score more than 120 points in each game in the past two games, which is so sad.

Although the Lakers' inside defense is indeed poor because of the lack of big guys and big centers, if the Lakers really work hard, it will not be so bad. However, because the Magic stays on the court, the Lakers will not be able to really solve their inside defense. If the Lakers want to defeat the Rockets, no matter what offensive strategy they use, they will have to reduce the Rockets' score.

There are actually many choices to reduce the Rockets' score. The Rockets' offensive state at home in the first two games was really good. This time, when it was away, especially in the first game of the away game, it is hard to say whether this team can continue to have such good offensive efficiency. Therefore, if the Lakers want to reduce the Rockets' score, they can choose to return to home and see the Rockets' own efficiency. In addition to this passive choice, the most proactive one is of course that the team no longer plays Princeton's tactical system, but adds an inside player to the team. Although the Lakers' inside defense is still not very good, it is at least better than this time.

If the Rockets' score drops, it is possible that Lin Han can really steal a game with his cancer-like play. If the Rockets' score cannot be reduced, even if Lin Han really has a cancer-like play offensive efficiency, he may not be able to really defeat the Rockets.

Therefore, if the Lakers want to win, they cannot play against Princeton's tactical system. Even if they don't want to win, such as those veterans, they don't have that much desire to win a game, but in order to protect Lin Han, they cannot continue to let Lin Han fight Olajuwon and Barkley head-on.

Without playing Princeton's tactical system, Lin Han naturally doesn't have to face Olajuwon and Barkley head-on. Therefore, this is the choice of the entire team. Whether it is a young player or an older player, after the first two games, they made such a decision, that is, the team can no longer play Princeton's tactical system at this time.

This decision also made the team's coaching staff very helpless. As basketball coaches, of course, they don't want to put everything on Lin Han. It is impossible to hope that the entire team's offense will be borne by Lin Han. So although they know that the team's last solution is Lin Han's cancer singles, they don't really hope that the team can use it for a day. Fortunately, in the case of the Lakers, the team does not expect Lin Han's cancer singles to defeat their opponents, so the pressure on the team is relatively small.

So, at this time, although the Lakers coaching staff didn't want to use it like this, it didn't matter if they were used.

Lin Han is certainly quite clear about all this after the team returned to Los Angeles. In fact, if Lin Han is not able to receive Lin Han’s support, the ideas of both veterans and newcomers will not be implemented. Compared to this, this team is Lin Han’s team alone, and it is a real one. Not to mention that the entire team is not sure whether they are veterans or newcomers, even the team’s head coach, the Magicians team, general manager Jerry West, needs to fully consider Lin Han’s opinions.

Especially when the team faces the future decision of this round of the series, it is not OK to consider Lin Han's opinions, so whether it is the ideas of veterans or the ideas of young newcomers. They are also very clear about this, so after returning to Los Angeles, almost everyone is surrounded by Lin Han. The main reason is to comfort Lin Han, that is, they hope that Lin Han can make the so-called right choice.

But what disappointed them was that no matter how they persuaded Lin Han, Lin Han seemed to be indifferent.

What does it mean to be indifferent?

It means that no matter whether it is the opinions of young people, the opinions of veterans, or the opinions of the team's coaching staff, the team's leading players have no support, which makes the entire Lakers team quite unclear.

Facing such a strange scene as Lin Han, everyone is not a fool. Soon, many players from the Lakers seemed to have thought of something. Obviously, with Lin Han's personality, no matter what choice he chooses, it does not fit his ideas.

You know, Lin Han is famous for hating failure in the entire league. At this time, many veterans are using Jordan's example to try to convince Lin Han to value the future, but soon, these people found out that they were wrong. Jordan is a paranoid who is extremely persistent in victory. Although Lin Han is not as domineering as Jordan in the team, and it seems easy to talk to the Bulls, but in the same way, Lin Han is a paranoid who is more paranoid than Jordan in the entire league. When the Jazz last season, some of the Jazz players exploded a lot.

When Lin Han was almost desperate, many players even gave up their victory and were still winning the suitors game. Even when the Jazz won 72 wins last season, many reporters interviewed Jazz players why they could achieve such a record. Most of the Jazz players almost all answered thanks to Lin Han for their persistence in victory. Without Lin Han still desperately winning in some games that could no longer win, I am afraid the Jazz would win more than five fewer games!

So, when Lin Han, who had not expressed his opinion at this time, was still thinking about defeating the Rockets in this series, whether it was the old or young players of the team, he really couldn't sit still at this time, especially with the third game between the Lakers and the Rockets approaching on May 29, the entire Lakers were filled with a very nervous mood.

The Lakers veterans and young players did have some differences when facing the team's series, and Lin Han's idea is indeed closer to the ideas of young players. However, even the more radical young players do want to win the next victory to protect their face, which is correct, but this does not mean that they hope Lin Han will still maintain any expectations for this round of series.

Compared to the price of winning a game desperately and winning a series desperately is unequal. In this round of series, the Rockets clearly want to take revenge on Lin Han, these radical young players do not want Lin Han to really fall into the full set of the Rockets’ three superstars for the victory of the series. In the end, not only did they lose the series, but they were also covered in scars.

When the Lakers discovered Lin Han's idea, these players naturally mobilized them all, as if they were going to do ideological work for Lin Han. They even forgot about the past attempt to convince Lin Han.

It's just a pity that even on the morning of May 29th, these Lakers players and even the team's coaching staff and senior management did not convince Lin Han to give up this round of the series.

After losing two consecutive away games, the internal air of the Lakers became very strange at this time. Of course, this is very strange to Lin Han, but from the senior management of the Lakers, this is not very strange, on the contrary, this is the team's tradition.

Lin Han learned about the Lakers' tradition from the Magician and Jerry West, and it was a bit regretful. It has to be said that he did not like this tradition, although such traditions gave birth to the glory of the Lakers in the past ten or even twenty years. Therefore, even in the face of the Magician and Jerry West's persuasion, Lin Han did not think about changing his meaning for the Lakers' tradition.

On May 29, 1995, on the morning of the third game between the Lakers and the Rockets, the team's morning training class was not over at this time, but all Lakers players had already obtained from the team's coaching staff what the team needed to play in this game. When Carell, the team's senior adviser, announced loudly that the team still played against Princeton's tactical system in this game, the entire Lakers' training ground was almost in an uproar.

Although they did not convince Lin Han to give up this series in the future, it is obvious that even if Lin Han does not give up the series, he still needs to avoid being humiliated by the Rockets. Now, what does Lin Han mean? He still plays against Princeton's tactical system and is still humiliated by the other party?

Even though Lin Han doesn't care about being bullied by Barkley and Olajuwon, this does not mean that other Lakers players can watch it?

"I know the current atmosphere of the team and what everyone is thinking. I also know that you will have a lot of doubts at this time."

"After all, the Lakers are now looking at the rhythm of the series. Maybe we will be smart now to find a game victory, let the back leave the playoffs with his head raised and chest out, and seek a comeback next season."

Lakers players didn't understand Lin Han's decision at this time. In this case, after coming to the team's training ground this morning, the Lakers did not train directly from the beginning, but were rare time for Lin Han to explain or teach.

In the Lakers, Lin Han rarely does this. He rarely gives his teammates the spiritual soup like many other NBA leaders, and rarely grabs the team's head coach Magician's right to speak. However, if Lin Han doesn't explain it at this time, it is probably difficult for Lakers players to accept it.

When Lin Han said the previous sentence to his teammates who had already fought in two rows in front of him, these Lakers players kept nodding. Obviously, this is what they said to Lin Han before. Seeing his teammates keep nodding at this time, Lin Han also smiled and continued.

"To be honest, if I just won the Rockets one game, I can do it at any time. It doesn't need to be as complicated as you think. I can do it even in the first game against the Rockets, but do you know why I didn't do that?"

Originally, Lin Han had a smile on his face at the beginning, but after saying this, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, and he became serious. The Lakers players were all solemn at this time. Of course, for Lin Han's statement that he could do in any game as long as he wins a game, Lakers players do not think that Lin Han is bragging. Lin Han's performance this season is enough to make them believe everything Lin Han said. After all, this is a player who can score more than 90 points in two games.

Moreover, in fact, Lin Han did not brag. With Lin Han's current character, if he really exploded, he could really win in any game at will. This is not Lin Han's lies, but because of his character, this is Lin Han's last trump card, which is really something that is gone after using it. After using it at the beginning, even if he wins one or two games, what after? Lin Han, whose character is 1%, will basically lead the Lakers and be swept by the Rockets. Therefore, without meeting Lin Han's expectations, Lin Han would never have so easily exploded the character he had obtained from the Clippers.

What is Lin Han’s expectations? Obviously, one must win in the first four games, and one with the Lakers’ real strength. As long as the Lakers can play in the first four games, not. As long as the first three games, as long as one can win in the first three games, Lin Han can play a big game for the Rockets at the airport in the future!
