Chapter 66 Welcome to Madison (ball
"Damn, I lost again"
When the referee of the NBA focus battle threw the basketball into the air game officially started, Lin Han and other Jazz players all cursed in their hearts after seeing the result of the jump.
The team's starting center Spencer is really useless. Even if you face Ewing, one of the three NBA centers, you are really scared, but you can jump a little. This guy was almost shocked by Ewing's momentum and stood there for a long time. It was even worse than when he met O'Neal not long ago.
Fortunately, the New York Knicks' offense is not as fast as the Warriors or the Supersonics, but is extremely slow. This is also the normal way of playing for the team to have a big center, so the Jazz's retreat and defense are not under much pressure.
"Boy, you've been a little arrogant lately."
After Lin Han and all the players of the Jazz retreated, the New York Knicks's defender Doug Reeves slowly brought the ball to the frontcourt, and then hesitated almost no hesitation and directly hung the ball to Ewing, who had already sat in the inside, while the others all pulled it apart.
Lin Han knew that this was one of the three tricks on the New York Knicks' offensive end. Although the New York Knicks had a good performance in recent seasons, the Lakers head coach Pat Riley has indeed helped the team's performance a lot, but the team's playing style has never been favored by New York Knicks fans and media.
The main reason for this is naturally that the team's offense is really ugly. They invited Pat Riley to come, but they hoped that he could copy the show-time super offensive style of the Lakers. However, after this guy came to New York, he trained a group of butchers. Although New York fans and media did not like Pat Riley, it has to be said that Pat Riley, the legendary NBA coach, is very good. Whether it is to adjust - teach offense or adjust - defend, they are the top NBA, and their ability to teach according to their aptitude can probably be considered the top NBA history.
So for this game, Lin Han also knew that his team's head coach Jerry Sloan attached great importance to it. He actually made a lot of key arrangements in such a regular season. You should know that because there are too many regular season games, both sides did not have any pre-match target arrangements for most regular season games.
Therefore, when Lin Han saw Ewing sitting inside and everyone else came to play, he knew what the New York Knicks played. The tactics of the center in the inside and other players being all tied is one of the New York Knicks' signatures. Of course, the best one to play this move now is naturally the Houston Rockets in the West, which has the league's number one center.
For the Jazz, such a simple and rough style of play is the most destructive style. In particular, Ewing, who is considered to be the best in the three centers, has the best ability to play back and forth. Although Olajuwon has a good back and forth, Olajuwon's strongest back and forth is relying on his own footsteps. Especially after a step forward in the face frame, he can turn around and play footsteps under the basket to kill most of the inside lines in the league. Therefore, in many people's eyes, Olajuwon and David Robinson are mainly face frame attacks. Of course, although there are some differences in the style of play, as the three centers in the league, the three are extremely comprehensive players, and all kinds of offensive and defensive skills are excellent.
So, when Ewing got the ball in the inside, almost all the other New York Knicks players watched how their boss bullied the young center behind him like a show. The level gap was too big.
As a match against Lin Han, John Starks is particularly relaxed. Although the New York Knicks were eliminated by the Chicago Bulls led by Jordan in the playoffs in the previous two seasons, John Starks performed extremely well. This undrafted rookie in the 1990 draft is simply the benchmark for all the low-couped rookies in the NBA. This guy used his own efforts to turn from a undrafter in 1990 to become the actual boss of the New York gang. Although Ewing is the boss of the team, Ewing is not a member of the gang.
Moreover, this guy's strength is indeed very outstanding. He is extremely aggressive in both offense and defense. On the offensive end, he is someone who has deducted Jordan. He can average more than 15 points in the playoffs against Jordan. On the defensive end, his trash talk and various small moves are also representative of the New York gangsters.
Such a fierce man who has had anal faces with Jordan in New York and Chicago naturally looks down on a rookie like Lin Han. Especially when this rookie is still labeled as Jordan II, it makes Starks feel that "my cannon is already unbearable", so he set his sights on Lin Han as soon as he came up.
"Hey, don't be so nervous, I won't be able to do anything to you. Let me take you into the real NBA world in this game."
Looking at the smiling baby face in front of him, Lin Han became more vigilant. If he hadn't been to the Jazz before, he believed that this baby face player who looked kind and had a pure childlike smile was a good person.
But after meeting Stockton, Lin Han was extremely wary of the NBA's cute and honest players. Not many of these guys are normal people, and not many are good people. In fact, most of the NBA's cute and honest people are not good people, and there are not many good people who are fierce and domineering. This is simply a concentration camp for a group of rogues and non-ludes.
The difference between these rogues - no-rogues - no-rogues - no-rogues for many years, some are becoming more and more rogues and non-rogues, while some are preparing to learn to become rogues - no-rogues.
And in Lin Han's heart, he should be one of the rare pure people in NBA.
Just as Lin Han looked at Starks who was chatting with him in front of him, he was about to sarcastically say a few words, a huge cheer suddenly broke out in Madison Square. When Lin Han looked back, he almost blurted out his words with a US national scolding.
The team's starting center Spencer was pushed down by Ewing and sat under the basket, and Ewing had already completed a dunk on his head.
"That's so soft"
Looking at Si Bingsai, who was sitting under the basket with a timid face and the gorilla hanging on the basket with both hands, almost all the Jazz players on the court were in the same mood as Lin Han.
Before the game, the Jazz's arrangement was actually very detailed, but the players who performed tactics were not good and there was no way.
"It would be great if Mark Eaton had not retired yet." I'm afraid Jerry Sloan on the Jazz's bench would have begun to miss his team's former starting center.
Of course, no matter what, the New York Knicks and Ewing's attack on the Jazz is really good. The Gorillas are also showing the world that after Jordan left, the strongest player in the NBA is not Barkley or Olajuwon but him, the king of New York. As for the Jazz and Jazz double evil spirits? Are Malone and Stockton now players of the same level as him? Of course not, they are stepping stones, and Lin Han? This guy is even less in his eyes.
"It's finally our turn to attack"
Although the Jazz was attacked by New York as soon as this game started, perhaps the Jazz players knew about Spurs, so there was not much panic, and the game was still advancing normally.
According to the Jazz's starting lineup, the team's starting center SBISS and starting small forward Brian Russell are pure defense players, and the pick-and-roll of Malone and Stockton and Lin Han's singles are the core tactics.
"John, give me the ball"
As for the team's first attack, Lin Han wanted to try his hand first. If he felt good, he would use Kobe's painting-like skill to turn around and jump back to kill the baby face behind him.
But facing Lin Han's crazy position, Stockton was a little hesitant. He was not a rookie like Lin Han. Even if they reminded Lin Han about his opponent Starks, it was not easy. Lin Han might not have any deep understanding of Lin Han. So when he saw Starks still motionless after Lin Han's crazy position, it seemed that he really wanted Lin Han to easily receive the ball, Stockton, as the top player in the NBA's heartbroken rankings, naturally felt something was wrong.
However, Lin Han had to give the ball at this time, so Stockton could only grit his teeth and hand over the Jazz's first attack opportunity to Lin Han. Lin Han was also happy when he saw Stockton passing the ball. He immediately held on to Starks behind him and prepared to catch the ball, then adjusted his posture slightly and attacked directly.
"Good Ball" Just the moment Lin Han received Stockton's pass, Lin Han secretly admired. Stockton's pass was too comfortable, and he was not satisfied with the speed. Such a pass receiver does not need too much adjustment. Even Lin Han can pull up and turn back and jump shot. Just to make the first ball more secure, Lin Han is still preparing to adjust the angle of his standing position slightly.
But after Lin Han received the ball, he was about to dribble, and suddenly felt a pain in his right knee. Before his right leg could turn, he was half-kneeling. The basketball that he had just received was directly dropped by a black shadow knife that suddenly broke out from the right.
"Referee, he fouled, and pushed me with his knee in the back"
Even if his IQ is low, Lin Han knows what means Starks used to snatch the basketball in his hand. This player, who was 7 cm shorter than Lin Han, played in front of Lin Han for a second three-way game.
But in the face of Lin Han's complaints, the referee on duty, Bavita didn't even look at it. The rookie's complaints had no weight in the referee's eyes. This is one of the unspoken rules of NBA.
In the end, Lin Han could only watch Starks run a long distance and complete a wonderful dunk for the Knicks again. Such an interception was really fatal.
Although Stockton and other Jazz players came to comfort Lin Han after Lin Han made a mistake, Lin Han was in a bad mood when he looked at the 4-0 score on the sidelines.
"This kid is really careless. He only protects the ball but not the side, but it's still too tender." Jerry West also chuckled when he saw Lin Han's mistake on the court, and Jordan on the side also nodded with a smile.
The New York gangsters are only skilled in playing the lower three ways. The upper three ways is their capital to settle down. However, Lin Han seems to be difficult for Starks to make the upper three ways to wrestle Lin Han.
But just as Jordan and Jerry West were thinking about whether Lin Han could force out the Sanda and Judo troops in New York, this scene suddenly appeared on the court.
When Lin Han took the ball again for the second time to prepare for the attack, this time he learned the lesson without using unnecessary adjustments and directly received Stockton's pass and forced his back to turn back and jumped back, just when Lin Han jumped up with his feet and turned around and had not completely turned around.
Lin Han, who was in the air, suddenly felt that his legs were swept away and he fell down. This was his legs swept away!
Lin Han, who was almost lying directly from the air and fell to the ground, subconsciously thought of sweeping the hall. At this time, Lin Han had not yet stood up and all the Jazz players and New York players next to him surrounded him and prepared for a fight.
"You are killing people, this is not basketball."
"Carl, is that basketball when you elbow Thomas? Isaiah Thomas' bones can be heard on TV, man, don't be so naive"
"Do you want to fight? A bunch of bitches?"
"I knew it would be like this"
Seeing what happened suddenly on the court, Jerry Sloan shook his head with a wry smile. At this time, he only hoped that Lin Han was fine, while Pat Riley on the side had nothing to do. He had seen too much friction with such a court.
"Coach, can we go up and help?"
At this time, Pat Riley looked at the substitute player of the New York Knicks who was being stopped by assistant coach Jeff Van Gundy and was speechless. He waved his right hand and let the group of hormonal surplus sit down.
"Boy, this is NBA, this is Madison Square. Welcome to officially enter the NBA. I said, you can't score 15 points in this game."
Lin Han endured the pain from his buttocks and stood up with gritted teeth. After the referee finally posed a foul. At this time, Starks, who was surrounded by Jazz players, had almost no fear. He still looked at Lin Han who was getting up from the ground with a pure smile and said with a smile.
After saying that, he almost didn't even look at Bavita, who had just blew his foul, as if the foul didn't exist.
"Lin, are you okay? That bastard just wants you to surrender and scare you"
"I'm fine, don't worry"
Looking at the teammates around him who cared about him, Lin Han shook his head and said, at this time, Lin Han's hands were almost tightly clasped to the limit, and the veins on the back of his hands almost seemed to burst out. He was really angry at this time.
"Is this NBA? Is this Madison Square?"
Lin Han looked at Starks' back deeply, then glanced at the stands around him, and felt very complicated.
