Chapter 88 Lin Han who was caught out
"Ron, what do you think of the Chinese rookie's strength? Are you really strong?"
Although the game between the Jazz and the Nets cannot be considered a strong dialogue, because the Nets' head coach is Chuck Daly, Jerry Sloan attaches great importance to this game. Who is Chuck Daly? All the idols of head coaches with iron and toughness in the NBA's coaching world, Chuck Daly's prestige is even stronger than the first head coach of the NBA. The creator of the bad boys' army has abused Jordan, beat Larry Bird, and defeated Magic Johnson. What's more legendary is that the former Pistons head coach not only defeated these three NBA kings, but also impressed these three NBA kings. This is very difficult. Who doesn't know what these three guys are, they are all guys with higher eyes than top.
Of course, for Chuck Daly, he was already in a semi-retired state after leaving the Pistons. His physical condition is not good now. He is now enjoying basketball with the Nets. At his level, as long as he doesn't want to, no team boss in the league dares to fire him. Therefore, for him, the NBA's performance is no longer the most important thing. This is also the reason why he can ignore other Jazz players in this game and dare to double-team Lin Han and use Jordan's rules on Lin Han. You must know that the Jazz is not comparable to the Bulls back then. There was no other Bulls in that year, except Jordan, Kal Maron at all.
At the same time, even if everyone knows that Lin Han’s pass is not good, not many teams dare to stand up and double-team the Jazz first, but this old man is different. This old man now has a childlike heart. He really wants to know if Jordan II, who has been in the NBA recently, is really that strong. And for his head coach, Nets players are actually helpless because the team’s former core player Derazan Pitrovic, a super European point guard who can contribute more than 20 points per game, died in a car accident after the playoffs ended last season, resulting in no one at the Nets’ second position at the moment.
The starting lineup at the beginning of the season has always been PJ Brown, Bennet Benjamin, Derek Coleman, the three inside lines, plus a 1.83-meter-83 point guard Kenny Anderson and a 1.91-meter-91-meter-new season, Kevin Edwards, who hastily been sent from the Heat to replace Pitlovic. To be honest, such a lineup is extremely flawed. The back line is too short and cannot defend the outside line. The forward line is too slow. Although the inside defense is good, the side
Wing defense can be beaten up. Although the total salary of this Nets this year is as high as more than 20 million, it is one of the teams that have spent the most money on the NBA, the team's performance in the new season is not good. The players are very strong, but they have not yet been fully adjusted. In this case, Nets players are very depressed and encounter the childlike innocence of Mr. Chuck Daly. Who knows how long it will take for this Nets to complete.
However, it has to be said that although Nets players are very depressed now, they are really meticulous in demands on executive head coach Chuck Daly. Since the old man wants to see the performance of Lin Han, they will work hard to let Lin Han perform. From starting point guard Edwards to substitute guard Ron Anderson and Lumill Robinson, there are a few, all of them. All of them are fighting Lin Han in the round. This is also the first time Lin Han has encountered double-team treatment since entering the NBA, but also the first time he has encountered the treatment of wheel battles. Edwards finished playing, Robinson played, and Robinson played Ron Anderson, which also led to the extremely lively game of this game, and even made the Nets substitute David Wesley, who was sitting on the sidelines, feel itchy.
"Haha, this guy is really amazing. I'm obviously a big chunk of him, but every time I can't touch this guy's shot, not only can't touch it, but I can't even achieve basic defense restrictions. This guy's offense is really easy, and I'm not his opponent at all."
When Ron Anderson, the rookie of the 84 Golden Generation, ended up, facing David Wesley's hot eyes, he said with a embarrassed smile, Lin Han is indeed strong, even if he doubles him, he can create a good offensive opportunity. This is not easy. Ordinary NBA stars are basically useless as soon as they are doubles.
In the NBA, how to distinguish a star from a superstar? It's very simple. It depends on the ability of this star or superstar to handle the ball after being double-teamed. After being double-teamed, he can still handle the ball calmly. Whether it is a calm attack or a calm organization of offense, as long as he can do it, he is a superstar. Such a player has a strong ability and a great impact on his team. If he encounters a double-team, he will be very panicked, his offensive efficiency will be greatly reduced, his mistakes will be frequent, and his strength will be greatly reduced. Then, no such player can be a normal star at best, so even though the Nets have an inside line Coleman who can contribute 20+11 per game and a point guard Kenny Anderson who can contribute 19+10 per game, the data of these two are extremely beautiful, but no one dares to say that they are superstars because they have not yet proved themselves by their opponents' extreme double-teams.
Obviously, Ron Anderson's evaluation of Lin Han is very, very high.
"The Jazz is not simple, it's really not simple. Jordan didn't have such a ruthless determination when he encountered such double-teams. He only had a basket in his eyes. Not only did he have a basket in his eyes, but he also had a very strong back ability. He turned around and leaned back and jumped to the jump shot, let alone two people could not block it. Even if one of them added, it would be difficult to really strangle him. This little guy will be a character in the future."
After Ron Anderson finished speaking, David Wesley was stunned. You should know that even the two leading players of the team, Coleman and Kenny Anderson, had not been so high by Ron Anderson. In the end, David Wesley, a rookie who lost the 1992 rookie, had the opportunity to play in the NBA in 1993. He looked at the Jazz No. 8 player on the court and felt full of passion.
"I would have been like him one day."
At this time, the young Nets player muttered to himself with some envy, but after David Wesley finished speaking, Ron Anderson beside him burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, David, your efforts are indeed good, but some people are destined to be half successful as soon as they enter NBA, and some people may not be able to achieve anything in their entire lives. However, it is always good to have such a dream."
After saying it with a smile, Ron Anderson was a little lonely. It was obvious that David Wesley's words seemed to have evoked his past. In 1984, he was the second round pick, and that man was the No. 3 rookie. When the two entered the NBA, he couldn't even play in a bottom team. The man had no effort to become the core of an NBA team and the focus of the entire NBA. After years of hard work, he had already established himself in the NBA and began to look forward to a higher goal, but that man was already in the NBA. When the years passed, his career had come to his twilight years, and his longing finally failed. When his career was only a rotation player from beginning to end, that guy was already at the peak of the NBA. His decision could make the whole world crazy.
This is the NBA, this is the reality. Those who can play here are all geniuses. Since they are geniuses, no one is willing to be the supporting role of others. However, a very realistic point is that here, there will always be 99% of players who become stepping stones or supporting roles for those 1% of players.
"No matter what, I will succeed!"
At this time, David Wesley could not fully understand Ron Anderson's words, but he knew that he really wanted to be a player like Lin Han, the core of a strong NBA team, the focus of all NBA media, and the darling in the hearts of fans.
This Jazz and Nets game is very interesting. Although Lin Han encountered double-teams, he did not stop playing because of Jerry Sloan's forced. Anyway, it's the case. So let's just face anal. It's true. Although Kobe's trick is now due to his character value, he has a strong explosive power in the ironclad, and his ability to break double-teams is also very strong. Not to mention 1v2, even 1v3, 1v4, or even 1v5, as long as Lin Han is given a little space, Lin Han feels that he can use this trick, and his posture will be more elegant and picturesque, and it is extremely ornamental.
So, after the game, Lin Han finally understood why Ailly said that this skill was one of the most explosive skills in NBA history, because this skill not only does not consume physical energy, but also does not be blocked if the physical condition is high and the wingspan is in place. Not to mention that two people are double-teamed, there is no fear of having more people double-teams. One skill is not afraid of double-teaming and can almost infinitely shoot. It would be strange if the score explosive power is not strong. Originally, after having the Meddy-style pulling purple skill, because this purple skill comes with an almost invincible Meddy moment, in Lin Han's heart, the importance of Meddy-style pulling is naturally far higher than Kobe's skill. Lin Han even felt that Meddy's skill is higher. Now it seems that it is far from that simple, and he still underestimated Kobe's skill.
At least in this game, facing the Nets' double-team, Lin Han's mid-range use Kobe's skill was very pleasant, while McGrady's skill was somewhat restricted.
"Boy, do it well, NBA's future will be yours."
After the end of this game, facing the Nets' crazy attack, Lin Han actually threw 24 goals in this game, 8 of 24 shots, and his shooting percentage was pretty good. It has to be said that although Lin Han feels extremely bad due to character value, Kobe's skill is extremely stable, whether it is empty, double-team or even multi-team double-team, he can basically have a shooting rate of about 3 levels. This is very rare for the Suns. Therefore, after the end of this game, not only Chuck Daly took the initiative to come to Lin Han and gave Lin Han a very high evaluation, but it is obvious that Chuck Daly really recognized Lin Han's title of Jordan II.
Not only after the game, Chuck Daly praised Lin Han, but even the team's head coach Jerry Sloan was also extremely satisfied with Lin Han. The appreciation and surprise revealed by his eyes and other expressions made Lin Han subconsciously tremble. If it weren't for knowing that his head coach had no other special hobbies, Lin Han would have been a little scared. However, it was obvious that the reason why Jerry Sloan was so satisfied was naturally because Lin Han's "breaking double-team" ability was extremely excellent. Even if Ma Long encountered such a crazy defense in this game, it might not be as calm as Lin Han. It has to be said that Lin Han's Kobe-style turn-on and back jump shot skill has a very strong viewing effect, and at any time it will not make people feel that Lin Han's move is very embarrassed.
"Hey, what kind of world is this?"
In the end, Lin Han was speechless. After being double-teamed by Chuck Daly for a while, Lin Han actually felt the benefits and sense of pleasure and a new understanding of Kobe's skill. Instead, he was more looking forward to other teams being able to double-team him.
