(Chapter 1)

"The competition is about to begin. I don't have any special requirements for you to achieve this game. For you, the most important thing is not to be so nervous. I think you should all be very clear about this. Lin, especially you. Although there are a lot of rumors before this game, I think you should be able to know how to deal with these things in the game and not be affected by these rumors."

"No matter what the outcome of this game or the outcome of this series, you should be proud of your performance this season and this series! Come on!"

On May 31, 1995, at 8 o'clock in the evening, the Lakers' locker room was less than half an hour before the start of this game. As the Lakers' head coach, the Magician was already sitting on his players with the most so-called psychological counseling. At this time, Lin Han, like other Lakers' players, still had no joy on his face after the Magician finished speaking.

Although everyone knows that what the Magician is right, no matter what the outcome of this round of the series is, for these Lakers players, they will not be criticized by their fans, nor will they be pressured from the management. After all, the Lakers' performance this season has no way to cause dissatisfaction among the supporters and managers of this team. In this case, Lakers players are indeed qualified to play easily.

But, saying that, but if most media experts around the world said before the start of this game, the home court of this game will be the last home game of the Lakers this season. Lin Han, the head player of the Lakers, will pay the price for his crazy words because of the failure of this game. In this case, even if these Lakers players are not under pressure, the pressure is actually quite large, especially after the Magic named Lin Han, almost all other Lakers players looked at Lin Han with some concern.

For other Lakers players, even if they lose after hard work, they will lose. There is no big deal, but it is obvious. For Lin Han, if they lose in this game, the meaning is completely different. With the support of other Lakers players for Lin Han, they certainly do not want this boss to become a laughing stock in the mouths of the entire series like David Robinson like the ones who have no public opinion and media fans.

In fact, after spending this season with Lin Han, although many players of the Lakers cannot be said to have 100% understanding of Lin Han. After all, although Lin Han has a high reputation in the Lakers, it is impossible for a person to say that he has fully understood the personality of another person. Even if he is good, it is difficult for two friends to do this. Even if he is not 100% understanding of Lin Han, the Lakers players are still very clear about some of Lin Han's behavior. Take the words that Lin Han, who has been quite controversial in the past two days, will definitely win in the next game. No matter how stupid the Lakers players are, it is worth it. This is Lin Han's shifting focus. I hope that the media's focus will be all on themselves and bear all the pressure of the team, and other players can play easily. This is Lin Han's protection for other players of the Lakers.

However, for Lakers players, although they are very moved by Lin Han's self-explosion protection, although many NBA team bosses have had self-explosion protection like Lin Han. For example, the most famous ones in the league are Jordan and Barkley. In fact, if many superstars in the league have many funny remarks and behaviors, although a large part of them are really funny, there are also some of them who are deliberately doing it, such as Lin Han did it on purpose at this time.

However, other Lakers players are unwilling to let Lin Han do this at this time, because generally speaking, in the playoffs, superstars self-destruct and protect the team, they need some specific conditions to do it. First of all, the game is anxious, the two sides are equal in strength, and the winner is extremely suspenseful, which has led to a dramatic increase in media attention, which greatly affects the psychological state of players on both sides. In this case, responsible superstars will bear all the pressure on the team. However, in the current situation of the Lakers, the Lakers and the Rockets are naturally not in a state of anxiety, and the game situation is not particularly intense. In this case, only the mentally retarded will do such a self-destructive and useless thing.

But, is Lin Han a fool?

Of course he is not a fool without IQ. In the eyes of Lakers players, although Lin Han is not a high IQ group like the Magician, he is definitely not a fool. The reason why his boss did such a self-destructive thing is because, in Lin Han's opinion, this round of series has not ended yet, and there are still some playing!

Perhaps at this time everyone in the world is already desperate about whether the Lakers can defeat the Rockets, but at this time Lin Han is still confident about this game or this round of series, and even confidently believes that the situation between the Lakers and the Rockets is actually very fierce!

In fact, this is not because the Lakers players guessed that Lin Han’s obsession with victory was quite smart. In fact, most media experts and even public opinion in the United States could guess what Lin Han wanted to do at this time, but these guys pretended not to know. After all, no matter whether Lin Han could realize his crazy words, it was huge news for these media reporters. At this time, all these media reporters were pretending to be asleep. How could people who pretend to be asleep wake up? Unless the jokes of Lin Han or the Rockets have come out after the end of this game, these guys would rush towards Lin Han or the Rockets like bloodthirsty.

Of course, in the eyes of these Lakers fans, the probability of these media experts and reporters rushing towards Lin Han in the end is the greatest.

And this is also what makes them most worried about.

Of course, Lin Han knew about his teammates' worries. He did this and naturally had the courage to bear all of this. Although he was indeed not sure of winning in this game, all his character level was only in his early 60s. He did not reach a burst value of more than 75. In this case, after Lin Han exploded with such a character level. In fact, Lin Han was not so clear about what level he could reach in this game. After all, this was the Western Conference Finals, not the regular season. In fact, this was the first time that Lin Han had such a character in a game of such a level in the Western Conference Finals.

However, just like his teammates think, the whole world thinks that he and his team are finished. But Lin Han will never admit that his team has failed like this. Not only does he not admit it in his heart, but in fact, Lin Han definitely does not think that his team has lost. This is what Lin Han tells the whole world. Even now, the Rockets are nothing great or invincible here!

"You don't have to worry about me, don't forget, didn't we beat the Rockets in the last game? We'll win another game soon?"

So, after the Magician finished speaking and felt the gaze from his teammates, Lin Han, who had originally been solemn after entering the locker room like other Lakers players, said with a smile at this time, and after Lin Han finished speaking with a little relaxed, other Lakers players and Magicians and other Lakers coaches were stunned when they looked at the smiles on Lin Han's face. They really didn't expect that Lin Han, who was the most nervous at this time, would have such a mentality.

"Lin is right. Since it's already like this, any worries are useless. It's better for everyone to use all their energy to support Lin. Maybe we can also complete the victory against the Rockets in this game."

After a little stunned, the Magician quickly responded to Lin Han's previous words with a smile. Perhaps the Lakers players looked at the two bosses of their team who still had such fighting spirit and relaxed mentality at this time. For a moment, these Lakers players who were originally very worried about the outcome of this game and Lin Han were actually excited for a while, and the Lakers locker room, which was originally a little quiet, became intense again for a while.

"Yes. Magic and the boss said it well. Anyway, it's already like this. It's better for everyone to fight for the boss. Even if we really lose in the end, we will have no regrets!"

As Lin Han's younger brother, Eddie Jones almost stood in his seat and yelled with other Lakers players. At this time, Lin Han looked at the Magician who was watching him not far away, and Eddie Jones, who was active in the team atmosphere at this time.

As the head of the Lakers, when the team's victory or defeat was extremely bad, Lin Han used his actions to show that he and his team had not lost yet. The final result was that the Lakers players did not collapse. In the locker room on the other side, the Rockets were in very good condition at this time, and the locker room was also quite enthusiastic at this time.

"This is the penultimate game, this is the penultimate game we played in this round of series. In this game, we want to defeat the Lakers, defeat Lin Han, and get the most decisive victory. We have to make that kid pay the price for his contempt for us! We have to let everyone know that the Rockets' strength is not comparable to that Lakers, we want to become the championship this year!"

As the Rockets' player, Barkley has stood by the Rockets' head coach Tom Janovic at this time and kept cheering for his teammates. At this time, other Lakers players are also responding fiercely to Barkley's arrogance.

Although Barkley's speech was a bit dismissive of the Lakers' strength, in the eyes of all Rockets players, there was nothing wrong with these speeches, because this is the most true portrayal of the strength of both sides. The Lakers are indeed not as good as the Rockets, and they are also restrained by the Rockets. Although the Lakers won one game in the last game, if the Lakers really let the Magic continue to play center in this game, then wait to be killed by the Rockets!

Therefore, even Rockets head coach Tom Janovic smiled when Barkley spoke excitedly, and he was also full of confidence in this game!

"Charles, I hope your performance in this game can be as arrogant and arrogant as your speeches!"

As the team's outside player, Drexler said with a slight joking smile after Barkley finished speaking excitedly and shouting with the Rockets players. After Drexler finished speaking, almost all the Rockets players who were quite intense just now laughed at this time.

It can be seen that although the Rockets had already had a strong fighting spirit at this time, the team is also quite relaxed now!

"Don't worry. In this game, I will let the Lakers know what kind of inside line is the real inside line. I am not a match for any Amao and Agou who plays the inside line. We will definitely win this game!"

Facing Drexler's joke, Barkley's answer was still quite confident and straightforward, as if he had completely forgotten that the Rockets' defeat in the last game was mainly due to him.

It's just obvious. Although Barkley was a little heartless at this time, he completely chose to forget about the last game. But for Rockets players, Barkley's answer was the answer they wanted to hear the most.

"In this game, the Rockets have advanced but not retreat!"

This is what all the Rockets players are thinking at this time!

At 8:15 pm on May 31, 1995, Los Angeles Forum Arena. The fourth game of the Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Lakers series was due to the victory of the last game. Before the game began, although the media and public opinion around the world was still not optimistic about the Lakers, as Lakers fans, the Lakers fans were much more confident in this game than in the last game. After all, they won the last game, and they were willing to believe that the team could win again. They beg their team to defeat the Rockets under the leadership of Lin Han and the Magic.

Therefore, when the Rockets players came out of the player channel first, the moral booing experiences of these Rockets players in this game are completely incomparable to the booing experiences in the last game.

From this point, we can also see the importance of this game to the two teams. Although this game is not a life-and-death battle, it is not good at the battle of Tianwang Mountain, this game is definitely the most important game in this round of series. Of course, if there is a final tie-up seven battle in this round of series, it is also said that in addition to the tie-up seven battle, this game can be said to be the momentum of the two teams reaching the highest level!

The Rockets lost in the last game, and this game will inevitably go all out to win a game that determines the victory or defeat of the series. After all, if the Rockets also lose in this game, the Rockets' momentum will be truly hit hard, and they will even be directly suppressed by the Lakers and Lin Han in the end, and then go downhill. On the Lakers, the victory of the last game can make Lakers fans have more confidence at this time. So, did the last victory not increase their confidence for Lakers players? If the Lakers lost in the last game, it may be magic.

Both the division and Lin Han will lose control of the locker room. No matter how positive their speech is, it may be difficult to awaken the fighting spirit of other Lakers players. Therefore, this game can be said to be the time when the Lakers have the highest fighting spirit. Of course, if the Lakers can still defeat the Rockets in this game, then the Lakers' momentum can certainly be improved in the future, but for most people, this is difficult, so this game is the best time for the Lakers. Although such momentum cannot make the Rockets defeat the Lakers, this momentum makes the game more intense, which is still OK.

In fact, as commentators of this game, Larry Bird and Collins' experience when they saw the Rockets players appear and the momentum of Lakers players, especially Lin Han and the Magic, when they played the finale, these two are also optimistic that this game will be a fierce game. Although the final victory may still be the Rockets, the Lakers will definitely not defeat.

"I don't know what other strategy the Lakers will use to deal with the Rockets in this game."

Therefore, at this time, TV viewers and fans around the world don’t have to worry about whether the Lakers gave up this series directly after winning a game. Judging from the current atmosphere of the Lakers, Lin Han and the Magic have still had a huge impact on the team.

Of course, although both Larry Bird and Colin are no longer worried that the Lakers will face the Rockets in a negative state at this time, the game is very fierce, but to play wonderfully, the Lakers need to have enough means to face the Rockets. Obviously, the Rockets, which will never play inside double-man singles tactics in this game, are definitely not something that the Magic can deal with just a center, and they are definitely not something that the Lakers can deal with just a tactical system in Princeton.

It can be said that because of the three Rockets' leading players' revenge mentality towards Lin Han, the Rockets gave the Lakers a chance, and the Lakers finally seized the opportunity, so to a certain extent. The Lakers' victory in the last game was just like the Rockets' head inside Barkley said. This was the victory given to the Lakers by the Rockets themselves. Of course, although this was the victory given to the Rockets, the Lakers were able to seize it, which was also considered the Lakers' own credit. After all, in the hearts of many Rockets' players, I'm afraid they did not expect the Lakers to seize this opportunity in the end.

Of course. In any case, the Rockets have gone all out now and no longer give opportunities to the Lakers. Without the opportunities given to the Rockets, can the Lakers still defeat the powerful Rockets? Of course, this game was wonderful, and there was no need for the Lakers to defeat the Rockets, just the Lakers can block the Rockets. Do the Lakers have the capital and ability to block the Rockets now?

When I thought of this, both Collins and Larry Bird sighed.

"Larry, do you think the Lakers will continue to let the Magic start the inside defense against Barkley in this game?"

Finally, when Collins looked at the players who were sorting out equipment on the bench twice, he subconsciously asked. After Collins asked, Larry Bird, who was on the side, shook his head and denied it without thinking.

"Although it is a law for winning teams to remain unchanged in the NBA playoffs, the Lakers will change their formation in this game. However, if they change their formation, it will make people unable to understand."

After Larry Bird answered, Collins nodded in understanding. In fact, Larry Bird was already quite polite, but he couldn't understand how the Lakers changed the formation in this game. In fact, it should be said that the Lakers seemed to have no room for changing the formation in this game.

The reason why he asked that before was this was the same, because only if there was no room for changing the formation, would he choose to continue the tactical style of the previous game helplessly. Of course, the Lakers are not without room for changing the formation. This team actually has room for changing the formation.

That is to let Lin Han directly turn on the so-called God mode in the game, that is, the brainless singles mode. If it were in the past, almost the whole world would not have doubted that the Lakers would choose such a mode to save the team after problems arise, because the whole world knows that Lin Han is the Lakers' last trump card.

However, in this series, as one of the league's most powerful singles players, Lin Han never started the brainless singles mode in this series. Not to mention this series, Lin Han did not do this even in the entire playoffs.

You should know that from the Warriors to the Spurs to the Rockets, Lin Han and the Lakers have played 12 games in the playoffs, and there have been no cancer singles tactics in 12 games. In this case, will the Lakers really return to this tactic? After all, 12 games are not long or short, and the Lakers are not one that has been formed for several years and has been familiar with the way they are immersed in the bone marrow. The team's tactical running-in has only been one season, one season of running-in, and no 12 games have been played. Under such actual conditions, it is doubtful whether the brainless singles between the Lakers and Lin Han will appear. At least in the eyes of many media experts, this is hard to say.

Of course, some people think that the Lakers are already in desperate situation at this time. Although Lin Han did not play brainless singles all the game, Lin Han still had this situation in some periods of some games. It is obvious that playing a certain tactic in a game is completely different from playing a certain tactic intermittently at a certain period. As for brainless singles, Lin Han plays this tactic in a game. Then at any period of this tactic, even if Lin Han does not play this tactic at a certain period of time, other players of the Lakers must run according to this tactic. In the game, other players are all ready for this tactic at any time, but if Lin Han compares the legacy of the game, they are all ready for this tactic at any time.

Playing a certain tactic at a certain period of the game, such as brainless singles, and the Lakers' offense stagnated at a certain period of time. In the end, there was no way. Lin Han could only play singles, or Lin Han suddenly wanted to play singles in the center of the game. These are extremely sudden. Even when his teammates played this tactic, they didn't know that Lin Han wanted to play like this, so naturally they wouldn't be prepared and running. In this case, Lin Han might not be completely unfamiliar, but his teammates definitely had a quite strange feeling. It was okay in the regular season, but at the playoffs, especially in the Western Conference Finals, what would this tactic look like? In fact, everyone is in doubt.

Don’t think that the single-player cancer tactic does not require cooperation. You should know that even the cancer tactics require cooperation. Unless a player can play one-to-five on the court, even Lin Han cannot play one-to-five in the game.

Therefore, when the Lakers, who were in desperate situations, were using tactics in the last game, they still chose Princeton's tactics to seize opportunities. At that time, some experts suspected that the Lakers might have discovered that there was something wrong with their team's tactics, so they had to use Princeton's tactics all the time.

In this case, although Larry Bird and Collins have some questions about such a speculation, many people support this speculation.

Of course, no one knows what the Lakers are like at this time. Only after the game begins will everyone know whether there are really some changes in the Lakers within this time.

Just as Larry Bird was thinking about these things, the starting lineups of both sides also warmed up on the court. Just when Larry Bird turned his attention back to this game, the legendary Celtics star immediately heard a burst of exclamations from all Lakers fans at the first time.

When Larry Bird heard this exclamation and turned his head to see what happened, when he saw his partner Collins, his partner's face also became very big. When Larry Bird quickly pulled his eyes back to the court, the former Celtic superstar's face was no less shocked than his partner Collins!

"The Lakers didn't start with the Magic in this game?!"

When Larry Bird saw the Lakers' situation at this time, the commentator of the game shouted directly!

What kind of posture will the Lakers face the Rockets in this game? This is a proposition that many media experts speculate. In fact, many people have many answers, but for most people, the Magician who performed very well in the last game has always been an important member of these propositions, and is also one of the most reliable players of the Lakers except Lin Han. Even more reliable than Wilkins, after all, Wilkins is a typical cancer. Although it is very strong, it is difficult to really reliable, while the Magician is different.

Regardless of whether this guy is too old or has declined too fast in other aspects, the Magician can stably output 10 points and 5 assists in each game, whether in the regular season or the playoffs. And this is still not a big possession of the ball. After the last game, even the New York Times' Shuiling Brother said that what he admired most was the Magician. Using Shuiling Brother's per-efficiency value statistics, the Magician's efficiency is higher than Jordan, and the value created by unit time and unit ball rights is amazing. It can be said that the Magician's style of playing has become a spirit at this time.

In this case, the Lakers actually let the Magicians substitute in this game, and the Magicians substitute themselves.

However, soon, when almost everyone on the scene was screaming at the Magician's substitute, soon after this burst of exclamations, it seemed that after everyone thought of something, the audience at the scene, including Larry Bird and Collins, once again sent a more intense exclamation and uproar!

Obviously, the Magician was a substitute in this game. Although I don’t know why the Magician made him a substitute in this game, there is one thing that the whole world knows, when the Magician was a substitute, what is the Lakers’ tactics!

"Cancer singles, the Lakers really have to play cancer singles in this game!"

Looking at Lin Han who was taking his teammates to the court at this time, Collins was already shouting at this time. Obviously, many people speculated before the game that the Lakers could no longer play cancer singles in a game of the Western Conference Finals, which was bankrupt!

Therefore, the media reporters and experts who had no trump card of the Lakers who had supported many people before the game, all of them were speechless after seeing the five players who were heading to the field at this time.

"It's obvious that everyone underestimates Lin Han's strength again. His single-cancer tactics are obviously incomparable to others. Other players' single-cancer tactics may go bankrupt after not playing for more than a dozen games, but Lin Han's God mode is not like this. Other players cannot play single-cancer tactics without the protection of their teammates. Lin Han, if he really wants to, even if he doesn't face five defensive players, Lin Han's offense will be the same without any hesitation."

After feeling the atmosphere at the scene, Larry Bird, who was originally in shock, laughed directly at this time, especially when Lin Han's cancer singles were different from many other cancers. It was more like the decisiveness of the offensive or the cancer attributes. Even Jordan could not compare to Lin Han. The only one who could make Larry Bird feel that it was possible to be on the same level as Lin Han was the only young player named Kobe who he met in the All-Star Rookie Championship. This kid's cancer attributes were the same as Lin Han. Of course, Kobe is a high school student, so it is still hard to say whether he can enter the NBA in the future. It is hard to say whether there is a platform and opportunity like Lin Han after entering the NBA.

However, in short, it is absolutely wrong for these people to measure Lin Han's tumor attributes by ordinary cancers. (To be continued)
