Chapter 547 Hit the winning streak!(1/2)
This Christmas battle between the Lakers and the Bulls finally turned the winning streak into only the Lakers.
The Chicago Bulls wanted to catch up with the Jazz's 37 consecutive win record set last season, so they had to start again.
And the Lakers are getting closer and closer to this record!
After the Lakers defeated the Bulls to win the 28th game of the season, Los Angeles media imagined that the Lakers led by Lin Han snatched the NBA's winning streak from the Jazz.
No one dared to think about this before he fought the bulls.
Now that even the Bulls have been defeated, which team in the league can block the Lakers' footsteps?
The next time the Lakers meet the Bulls, it will be February. By then, the regular season is already half over!
After defeating the Bulls in the Christmas Game, the Lakers will challenge the powerful San Antonio Spurs away.
In addition to seeing the strength of the Lakers and Bulls, this game between the Lakers and Bulls also allows people to see some ways to deal with these two teams.
No matter whether your team can use this method, at least, it also gives them some solutions when playing against the Lakers and the Bulls.
At the beginning of this season, they had no choice but to face the Lakers and Bulls.
The best way to deal with the Lakers and the Bulls is of course to find a player who can defend Lin Han and Jordan one-on-one.
If you can't find such a player, then when dealing with Lin Han and the Lakers, it is best to go to the double center, and attack Lin Han from the outside while going to the double center.
And it is best to have excellent assisting and defending this double center.
This may still be impossible to defeat the Lakers, but it will definitely make the Lakers uncomfortable!
In this current league, it is not that easy to find two outside players like Jordan and Pippen.
But finding two double towers is not that difficult!
Especially for teams like the Spurs and Rockets!
On December 27, 1995, the Lakers started their away trip to Texas, and their first stop was to challenge the San Antonio Spurs.
In the entire league, the best teams are of course the Spurs and Rockets to deal with the Lakers' current tactical system.
Because David Robinson and Olajuwon are definitely the best centers in this league to assist in defense!
If it weren't for the Lakers' center this season, Mutombo, a center with excellent physical fitness and needs personal care of Olajuwon and David Robinson.
If the Lakers were other centers, David Robinson and Olajuwon could even deal with two at one!
The Spurs and Rockets are very strong inside, but the outside is average. Even if the Bulls are transplanted to deal with the Lakers, there is almost no possibility of success.
However, after learning the Bulls' style of playing against the Lakers, these two teams have indeed caused great trouble to the Lakers.
Before playing the Bulls, Lin Han always felt that the Lakers could win 82 consecutive wins this season!
But after he beat the bull, he didn't have such an idea.
The Lakers still won the first two games of the Lakers' Texas trip, against the Spurs and the Rockets.
But the Lakers didn't feel that good in these two games.
Especially Mutombo, who had averaged 20+10+5 games before, scored only 12 points, 10 points and 10 points in the three games against the Bulls, Spurs and Rockets.
The tactics like the double center are the most harmful to Mutombo Rodman and Eddie Jones, and their scoring space is compressed a lot.
On the contrary, Lin Han and Choudumas' scores increased because they needed more shots.
Fortunately, these powerful teams do not have Jordan.
He doesn't have to spend on the defensive end, but can focus all his energy on the offensive end.
Therefore, in the two games against the Spurs and Rockets, Lin Han scored high scores for a long time!
Against the Spurs, they made 23 of 47 shots and scored 68 points, while against the Rockets, they made 22 of 44 shots and scored 70 points!
Lin Han's high score in these two games was still thrown out by a large number of three-pointers.
In this season, most of Lin Han's scores are still scored outside the three-point line.
Moreover, with such a large number of shots, his three-point shooting percentage remains above 45%, infinitely close to 50%, which is very terrifying!
According to many experts, Lin Han is the first player in NBA history to use a three-pointer as a conventional offensive weapon!
Before Lin Han, even Reggie Miller, his three-point shooting ratio was far less than 50% of all shots!
The double center tactic can effectively limit the scoring of other Lakers players, but it will turn on Lin Han's scoring mode.
These are two bottles of poison, it depends on which one you are suitable for drinking.
Should I be willing to watch Lin Han assist and play him, or should I see Lin Han score, and use one fairy ball after another to make his team's fans turn against him!
In two games between the Lakers, Spurs and Rockets, Lin Han's plan was like a three-pointer thrown by God, causing many Spurs and Rockets fans to turn against each other.
When Lin Han made a free throw in the fourth quarter, many fans wearing David Robinson and Olajuwon jerseys shouted MVP for Lin Han!
Obviously, these fans enjoy Lin Han’s gameplay very much!
The ball-like ball control of the court, coupled with the ubiquitous and high-difficulty three-point shooting, is extremely beautiful with the style of playing!
In the current league, the mainstream style of the game is still very old-fashioned, with a large number of mid-range shots, a large number of cooperation, and a large number of pick-and-roll passes. This is the mainstream of the league now.
Compared with these old-fashioned styles, Lin Han's style of style this season is obviously full of unique attraction.
Therefore, after the All-Star voting was launched, ABC also conducted interviews and surveys on fans across the United States.
There are far more fans looking forward to this year's All-Star 3-point competition than fans looking forward to this year's dunk competition!
When asked again who I hope to participate in the three-point competition, the fans' choice was Lin Han and Jordan!
Jordan's three-pointer was not as accurate as Lin Han's throwing, but his three-pointer skills were almost exactly the same as Lin Han's.
Just like Lin Han's turn and leaning back, Jordan's three-pointer is Lin Han's learning.
In addition, the two have almost similar ball control skills, so the two of them who are double-teamed and found the space for shooting are called art!
It was just because the Bulls lost to the Lakers in the Christmas game, so everyone was calling Lin Han MVP.
If the Bulls win the Christmas game, then Jordan will enjoy the same MVP treatment as a whole nation!
This year, the Lakers won all three games of the Southwest away tour.
After defeating the Dallas Mavericks on December 30, Lin Han brought the Lakers back to Los Angeles.
On December 31 and January 1, there were no competitions in the NBA because of New Year's Day.
After two months of continuous combat, the NBA team finally got a chance to rest.
The two-day break is very friendly to the Lakers.
The Lakers have been winning streaks now, and such winning streaks are very physical and mentally stressful.
Lin Han and the Magic never publicly said that they would break the 37-game winning streak created by the Jazz this season.
But as professional NBA players, even if Lin Han and the Magician have never said that, they would want to set such records.
This is a record that can add a lot of glory and legend to their careers!
Especially for Chaudhumas, who came to the Lakers this year, this record is even more attractive.
Chaudhumas came to the Lakers to be selected as the top 50 superstars in 1997.
He needs championships, honors, and various records that increase his legendary nature!
Therefore, knowing his pursuit, Lin Han deliberately made it convenient for him to brush data in the regular season.
I have to say that Choudumas himself is also a very self-disciplined and respectable veteran.
After agreeing to come to the Lakers in June, he is also working hard to develop skills that can adapt to Lin Han to the team.
In the Lakers, he could have been his uncle, but he never regarded himself as an uncle.
Lin Han and other Lakers players can provide whatever they need.
It’s really a blessing to have such a top second-in-command!
Lin Han even thought from time to time, how much younger than Choudumas would have been.
Of course, Choudumas' performance this year will not be worse than when he was young.
The major awards and honors so far this season were selected by experts from ABC, which have been selected by the experts after the Christmas war.
Chaudhumas was ranked second in the second team, with second defense!
The last time he was able to appear in the Best Team and Best Defensive Team was in the 1992-93 season, when he was in the second team and one defense that year.
Chaudhumas could feel the sincerity of Lin Han and the Lakers in brushing him with data for his honor.
So he is also using his efforts to repay the trust of the Lakers and Lin Han.
This season, he averaged 5 three-pointers and was able to hit 2.2 times, second only to Lin Han in the Lakers in terms of shooting percentage and hit number.
Even in the entire league, it is the forefront.
What kind of self-discipline and effort does such a 32-year-old veteran develop his three-pointer during the offseason and during the season?!
During the two-day holiday this New Year's Day, Lin Han had no other business itineraries, and there was no community service that the alliance needed him to do.
He can do exactly what he wants, such as spending time with his family.
