"Lin, don't care about the words said in the newspaper. Obviously, they just want to anger you. You are the strongest young player I have ever met. Although the last game was a bit abnormal, they should not be criticized like this."

"Yeah, they have too many requirements. It's not like asking for a rookie, but imposing their standards on Jordan on you, which is unfair."

On November 18, 1993, in Philadelphia, in the hotel room where Lin Han and Jazz were staying. In Lin Han's room, Aaron Williams and Brian Russell, two Lin Han's brothers, were playing TV games. Lin Han was not so interested in the game called Street Fighter that these two people played. In fact, Lin Han is not a fighting maniac. Although he is Chinese, he also likes to read Jin Yong's martial arts novels, but he is not interested in fighting the same kung fu as the so-called Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do.

This surprised Williams and Hill, and even surprised other Jazz players. After all, the kung fu craze in the United States has not dissipated. The three major impressions of Americans about Chinese are still Kung fu, braids and fume food. Whether they really like Kung fu or not, as long as they are Chinese or Chinese, they are asked whether they like Bruce Lee or not, most Chinese and Chinese will say yes, yes, and they are full of pride. Lin Han is extremely alien in this regard.

After all, in Lin Han's mind, the martial arts in his heart and the kung fu in his heart are the fantasy things such as the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, Six-Meridian Divine Sword, Lingbo Weibu, Orchid Flashing Hand, Yijin Jing and other fantasies in Jin Yong's novels. Lin Han, who is full of fantasy, naturally looks down on these things full of realism and reality. So every time these two young jazz rookies invite Lin Han to their house to play games or watch classic Bruce Lee movies, after Lin Han goes, he will directly take out a Jin Yong novel that they are curious but cannot understand, sitting there and chewing slowly alone, which also makes these two Bruce Lee brainless fans feel that Lin Han is very boring. In fact, Lin Han is originally a very boring person, and he never denies this.

This trip to the east is Lin Han’s first consecutive away trip since entering the NBA. Of course, it is naturally the same for Lin Han’s two younger brothers. So before this away trip, both Lin Han, Williams or Russell were very excited and looking forward to it, so he brought out a lot of luggage, especially a lot of game consoles and game card discs. Lin Han also brought out his beloved Jin Yong martial arts series. However, now, Lin Han’s two younger brothers are indeed playing TV games, while Lin Han is not reading his novels.

Although the Jazz won the last game against the Miami Heat, Lin Han's performance was very poor, and there was nothing to be argued about. After the last game, the team's head coach Jerry Sloan criticized Lin Han alone. Although Sloan did not replace Lin Han in the game to protect Lin Han's self-esteem, Sloan did not want Lin Han to really go astray and was too self-centered, so criticism still needs to be criticized.

It was just because Lin Han's performance in the previous few games was indeed very outstanding. Even though he played so miserably in the last game, he scored 21 points in 7 of 29 shots, but Lin Han's current average score is still 43 points. After six games, he ranked first in the NBA scoring list, and his shooting percentage in six games was far higher than 50%. This performance is already excellent enough. Therefore, although Lin Han was criticized by the team in the last game, most of his teammates still didn't care so much. After all, no one can guarantee that he can always hit.

The Jazz's team didn't care so much about Lin Han's performance in the last game. As long as Lin Han doesn't continue to play such an undercover thing for his opponent in the next game, it's fine, but this group of media in the United States will not let Lin Han go, especially those media with extremely strong racial colors and tabloids with extremely serious discrimination. Some reports can be called crazy. If Jerry Sloan hadn't been protecting Lin Han's media, Lin Han really suspected that he might have been torn directly by those guys.

In Lin Han's mind, he never understood what he had done wrong, which could cause these guys to treat him like this. If these guys thought he was a liar and was selected for the NBA for bribery, then now he has long proved that he is not a liar or entered the NBA because of other disgraceful means, why do these guys still treat him like this?

Moreover, the demands of this group of American media for Lin Han are becoming more and more similar to those when they asked for Jordan, which made Lin Han speechless. Even if Jordan leaves the NBA, you can't concentrate all Jordan's resentment on me, right?

Finally, Lin Han put down the last newspaper in his hand from the United States Today newspaper and sighed and thought that the reports on him in the United States were relatively objective. After all, this media was the first to explore him. If there was no need, I think the United States Today would not discredit him.

"Lin, you did a little over the last game, giving people the feeling of using the team to score points, so this is also the reason why the outside media reacted so much. I think you should be more restrained in the next game. No matter whether the feel is good or bad, don't make too much noise. As long as they feel that the news value on you is gone, they will naturally not stare at you anymore."

"Brian, the method you mentioned may have worked a week ago, but now it is gone. Have you forgotten that America today just said that Lin Han is the first of the four super swingers rookies this year, tied with Hardaway to the outside world and the hottest favorite of the best rookie. He is no longer what he wants."

After Aaron Williams finished speaking, Lin Han suddenly realized that the United States, which gave him a good feeling, was also a big loser, which made Lin Han even more speechless.

On November 19, 1993, the third away game of the Utah Jazz East, the team's opponent will be one of the oldest teams in the NBA. The Philadelphia 76ers, which is different from the Heat, the two teams, Magic and Heat, have excellent records in the past two seasons than the 76ers, but these two teams with their own home names with city names are far inferior to the 76ers in terms of heritage. As one of the oldest NBA teams, this team was the earliest host of basketball emperor Chamberlain. It can be said that the earliest legendary history of the NBA is the legendary history of the Philadelphia 76ers. Although the 76ers have never been a giant team, they have always been a great legendary team.

Even with the early Chamberlain legend of the NBA, when the 76ers officially moved into the spectrum stadium, in the current spectrum stadium, the 76ers once had Dr. J. Julius Irving, the 76ers legend No. 6 is the idol of Michael Jordan, the current NBA leader. Moses Malone, who won the NBA championship ten years ago for the 76ers, is also one of the greatest players in NBA history. Even after these two legendary stars who succeeded Chamberlain fell, the 76ers could still find their answers. Last season's regular season MVP Barkley and the best power forward in the league, it is just that Barkley's regular season MVP did not represent the 76ers.

After losing Barkley, the 76ers have started their journey of finding their own answers again. With the background and legend of this team, the answers of this team were players of the level of Chamberlain, Dr. J, Moses Malone and Barkley, so the next answer could not be an ordinary person.

So although the 76ers are the bottom of the league, no team in the league will really regard this team as a bottom of the team. In addition to the 76ers, the Lakers and Celtics are the only teams with such a foundation and status in the NBA.

Therefore, although the 76ers are very weak now, Jerry Sloan's attention to this team is not lower than that of the previous Heat. In NBA teams with a strong foundation like the Celtics, the 76ers and the Lakers, it is hard to say what will happen in the end, especially when these teams with outstanding backgrounds face NBA strong teams.

"Lin, don't be stressful in this game. You have to be clear that I have always been very satisfied with your performance."

What Lin Han didn't expect was that before the start of the game against the 76ers, after the Jazz had all the tactics, the team's head coach Jerry Sloan would actually encourage him alone. This was the first time Sloan made such a statement before the game.

This also touched Lin Han very much.
