Vol 2 Chapter 222: Jazz in a row

(For monthly ticket, for subscription)
When the Rockets’ head player Drexler did not know the reason for the last game, he retired after the third quarter. In the eyes of many jazz fans, even if Drexler was not injured, this The Jazz and Rockets consecutive showdown, the Jazz are also more dominant, and even some more arrogant Jazz fans shouted the slogan of the two-game winning streak of the Rockets before the game.
It's just that the final result of this game is very speechless, especially making jazz fans very speechless. Although it is said that they know the away game, or the back-to-back game, it is very difficult for any team, but The Jazz are back-to-back on the road, and the Rockets are similar. This team is back-to-back at home. Although the Rockets are slightly better than the Jazz, they are not much better. In general, as long as the Jazz can stabilize, the Rockets’ home advantage It won't be much.
But what is very speechless is that at the beginning of this Rockets and Jazz game, the Jazz did not stabilize to play. This team played very impatiently, almost like the last home game with the Rockets. To suppress the Rockets as soon as they come up, and then use the advantages of opening to defeat the Rockets.
According to the strength of the Jazz and the Rockets, there is no problem for the Jazz to do so. At home, they won the game, but it is obvious that this game is not a home game, but an away game, and it is a back-to-back away game. I saw that at the beginning of the game, they constantly played iron Malone and Lin Han. These jazz fans were directly speechless, even if they ordinary fans also know that the back-to-back visiting team needs to stabilize when playing away games. Come down and try your own touch to be able to attack madly. Why don't these jazz players understand? The Rockets have been attacked by the Jazz away, isn't it because this team is not stable enough when playing Jazz away. Drexler continued to underestimate Lin Han's defensive ability. After being directly exploded by Lin Han, he hit a high tide. Such an example is right in front of him.
As a very good head coach. No one thinks that the Jazz will attack as soon as he comes up, Lin Han attacked long shot outside. Malone attacked in the middle distance. If Jerry Sloan really arranged the team to suppress the Rockets as soon as they came up, then Lin Han and Malone's attacking methods were definitely not like this. Obviously, this was their own decision on the court.
And this is why Jerry Sloan called two timeouts in the first quarter alone, and after the game, he was extremely dissatisfied with the failure of this game. He did not know why the team started this game. Several bigwigs will be so abnormal. Do these guys really like what the newspaper said, because after continuously defeating the Spurs, the Suns and the Rockets, they feel invincible? Do they really don't have any IQ to analyze if the last game was not due to Drexler's physical problems and exited early, or if Lin Han became a super-assist player at the last minute, the Jazz are likely to fail at home.
Of course, at this time, Jerry Sloan really didn't know why, Lin Han was chaotic on the court. Jerry Sloan has always been more tolerant to Lin Han, although he recently wanted to transform Lin Han. But he also knew that he was not in a hurry. In addition, he had already figured out Lin Han's pulse, which made him quite confident in transforming Lin Han. The key point was that. Lin Han's crazy shooting and crazy offensive as soon as he came up in this game, this is Lin Han's own personal play. He himself is like this. What is crazy about Karl Malone and Stockton? Seeing Lin Han shooting crazy, Malone also crazy shooting, and Stockton as the team's big boss not only did not stop, but also always created a shooting opportunity for the two of them, and even shot other teammates on the field. Deprived of power. What are these three people doing?
After the game was over, Jerry Sloan was really angry. Because in this game, his three headed players did not let him see the indifferent and momentum of a team that should compete for the championship, but instead let him see three data brushes constantly brushing data on the field.
of course. The Jazz lost to the Rockets on the road. This matter was originally nothing. After all, the current record of the Jazz is no longer a two-game losing game. The supersonic record is 42 wins and 14 losses. The Jazz's 50 wins and 6 losses are far away, and they are still 8 games away. In this case, the Jazz who have already walked out of the Devil schedule do not matter even if they lose a few games. The key is to compete for the total as a Champion teams, this lack of stability is not a good thing.
However, what makes Jerry Sloan a little difficult is that at this time he is really difficult to talk too much with his core players, because in this game, he called many and many times for the suspension, Lin Han and Malone Or all three of Stockton nodded to him after the timeout, but when they stood on the court, after playing again for a while, they couldn't help but mess up.
After the away game between the Jazz and the Rockets, Jerry Sloan was sulking on the plane, and his assistant Phil Johnson was sitting beside Jerry Sloan with a helpless face.
Jerry Sloan doesn’t know why the team’s three core players played so impatiently in such an important game, but he is very clear, it’s not all because of the latest mvp ranking released by NBA this morning. After the Jazz defeated the Rockets at home, after Lin Han won the 5x5 data very versatile, Karl Malone, who has dominated the rankings for half a season, was finally taken from the first position of mvp. Lin Han pulled it down, and Stockton rose directly from fifth place behind Olajuwon and Pippen to third place in one fell swoop.
Although many media today are focusing their attention on Lin Han’s all-round performance, the victory of the Jazz, few people have noticed the change in the mvp list, and even because of the need for continuous competition, Jerry Sloan did not notice, but the Philippines Johnson absolutely does not think that Lin Han, Malone and Stockton did not notice such a change.
When Malone was ripped off by Lin Han from the first position, it was not just that the mvp competition was heated up, but the league was telling everyone that Malone’s position in the Jazz was no longer so stable, the team The cornerstone of winning is no longer Malone, Lin Han and Stockton ushered in opportunities. If Malone is still the cornerstone of the Jazz win, no matter how good Lin Han is in statistics, he can't surpass Malone. And now he surpasses Malone, which means that the cornerstone of the Jazz's winning has changed.
Lin Han may not have any special thoughts because of this ranking change. Because his way of playing is like this, even if he didn’t enter the mvp leaderboard, he is like this, but Malone and Stockton are different. When Lin Han did not surpass Malone, Malone didn’t care what Lin Han did He doesn't care about the fight, because the whole world knows that Lin Han is now assisting him. No matter how beautiful Lin Han’s data is, he is also helping him. And now, when Lin Han surpasses Malone in the ranking, will Malone still think silly that Lin Han is helping him? When he sees Lin Han still playing like that, will the jazz player tolerate Lin Han?
Just like when Lin Han became the only leader of the team, he was willing to sacrifice for his teammates. If Malone is still considered by everyone to be the head of the jazz, he is willing to sacrifice some for Lin Han, but if everyone no longer regards him as a leader Jazz's absolute boss. Will he still sacrifice for Lin Han? Isn’t this obvious, Malone is not a saint, or that is to say. How many nba players are saints?
Especially for Stockton and Malone, who have been in the league for the first time, the regular season mvp's attractiveness is even worse than the championship. Now they are in need of honors.
Especially Malone, why should Barkley be the first power forward, but he is not the first power forward? Is he worse than Buckley? Of course not bad, neither of them is dominating the inside, neither of them has the ability to dominate other players in their position. Theoretically, it is like the Magic and Isaiah Thomas's retreat injury. The league has no first point guard. Similarly, there is no first striker in the league. Malone and Barkley's figures are beautiful, but both have fatal injuries. Can't rule many opponents in this case. If you want to win the honor of the league's first striker, you can only get it through the mountain of honor. Barkley took the regular season mvp. So he is the first striker, and Malone is naturally unwilling to be crushed by the old opponent Barkley. With.
In this case, in order to be able to win the mvp, when he and Lin Han appeared in the disputed area on the court, it was often Malone who finally made the concession, because he knew that to win the mvp, he needed the team enough Stable, able to win more balls, and facts prove that his approach is also correct. Jazz has won more and more games this season. Because of his concessions, many expert media also believe that he is mature, more mature than before Too many, already a qualified team master.
Only now, when his efforts for more than half of the season eventually turned out to be the result now, Malone will certainly not give up to Lin Han, and now the team's record has almost been brushed, now that his position is John was shaken, so according to Malone’s idea, he would just take it back. In this case, in the last game with the Rockets, the other players on the Jazz field were almost bloody, and everyone was quiet. Watching Lin Han and Malone desperately take shots, watching Stockton being crazy by Lin Han and being crazy by Malone, the Jazz played very chaotic and aggressive.
Fairy fights, this is what happened to the mortals. Although Malone and Lin Han did not fight, even Lin Han was a little surprised that in the last game with the Rockets, Malone did not counsel when he faced Olajuwon. The shot was taken, so after the game started, Lin Han still highly appreciated Ma Long. If Ma Long knew Lin Han’s thoughts, this jazz leader would vomit blood with his abilities. With his ability, if he wanted to, Even if Olajuwon is stronger, he wants a crazy shot. How can Malone's offensive skills and offensive ability be completely suppressed? Malone is not Lin Han. When he was the team's master, he Need to consider the impact of his offensive efficiency on the team, but unlike Lin Han can ignore, the two are in different positions, and now, when Malone found that he was about to be pulled down by Lin Han, he finally tore himself Dadang's coat and mature label are ready to attack like Lin Han more than anyone else.
So when thinking of this, Mayfair Johnson is also somewhat helpless. As the best coach in the league, Mayfair Johnson naturally knows that this kind of thing is almost everywhere in NBA. The shot of the second child has always been bigger than the old one, but the boss has always been In maintaining the second child, this is not because the boss is selfless and mature. There may be such a reason, but it is more that the boss feels that the second child cannot shake his position, and if the boss finds that his position has been shaken. This is not the case at all.
This is the situation for the Jazz now, and May Johnson knows this time though. But there is no way to tell Jerry Sloanming, is it necessary to tell his good friend, all these are changes in the league's mvp rankings, so that Malone has a sense of crisis, so Malone is preparing to react against Lin Han Made?
Let’s not talk about it, but I can’t say it at this time. After all, Lin Han and Stockton have more and more problems in possession of the ball, plus Ma Long and Lin Han’s shot rights The problem, if Jerry Sloan now needs to solve these two major problems. May Johnson felt that his good friend would be driven crazy.
So, since the workaholic Jerry Sloan doesn’t know these things, he doesn’t know how to do it, and even if he knows it, he may not be able to do anything. NBA belongs to the player’s league rather than the coach’s league. In the entire league Except for a few people such as Pat Riley and Chuck Daly, no one can make the core players of the team completely obey the instructions of the coach, the Warriors old Nelson is so big. Now he is still forced to die by Weber and Sprewell.
It's just that Malone and Lin Han are not in such a mess on the court. I don't know when to wait. Maybe I need to wait until the end of the regular season. Maybe I need to wait until the position of the regular season mvp has been fixed. Maybe it's time to wait until Malone again recognizes the world as the well-deserved boss of the Jazz.
Suddenly, because of an mvp ranking in the NBA league, the Jazz caused such a big movement that the assistant coach of the team, Mayfair Johnson, could not figure it out, and this problem was not caused by Lin Han, but by Malone, which is also It was a bit surprising.
Of course, at this time, Mayfair Johnson felt that it was difficult for him to do, but Starks was actually the same. The jazz point guard needed to implement the head coach's arrangement and share more of the ball rights with Lin Han. Let Lin Han also try to organize on the court, although eventually Lin Han will turn most of the ball rights that let him organize the team into his own shots. But Stockton still needs to do according to the coach's arrangement, and on the other side. Malone is his friend again. His old partner, since Malone wants the ball, he has to give it. In this case, a very team-based point guard like Stockton played on the court. Painful, because he was doing sacrifices to serve the two big brushes.
After the Jazz defeated the Rockets at home, the team began their own road trip to the West. The Rockets away game on February 28 is just the beginning. The Jazz away games are only the first game of the Texas three away games. .
At present, because there are only 27 teams in the league, there are only two major regions and four communities. Almost everyone in the two regions knows that it is the east and west. As for the four communities, the southeast region and the east The Atlantic, while the West is the Midwest and Pacific, and the Rockets, Spurs and Mavericks Texas top three now belong to the Midwest, which is the same as the Jazz.
Generally speaking, because there are only 27 teams at this time, a team in a division will play five games in the regular season. Even more extreme is a team in a division that will play six games in the regular season. The Jazz and Spurs played six games this season, and after the Jazz defeated the Rockets on the road, they soon needed to make a guest adjustment on March 2 for the San Antonio Spurs, also in Texas.
This season's Jazz is really the Spurs's worst owner. This Texas team is probably the most feared team this season, especially if the team is weaker than last season. In the circumstances, even for the Jazz who had some problems in recent times, the Spurs did not beat the Jazz who came to challenge at home.
In this game, the Jazz's style of play is not much changed compared to the last game with the Rockets. The team is still the start of the strong attack of Lin Han and Malone. Malone is more aggressive than any time this season. [Wang] In this case, the original style of the Jazz was the bombardment style. The team’s style of play was only Lin Han, who was free from the team. Except for Lin Han, everyone else was a team. After the away game with the Rockets, the style of the Jazz suddenly changed. From a team-based team to a giant team.
What is the play of the giant team? It is a team consisting of two or more superstars. The team has not been able to pinch superstars together, in this case. The style of the superstars is relatively simple and rough, and it is difficult to drive other teammates. In this case, the giant team's giant data will be very terrifying. Often the two men score 60 points, the three men score 80 points, etc. The team's offense depends on the faces of the giants.
This style of play has a very good advantage, that is, as long as the team's giant is strong enough, the play is very impactful and very beautiful. After all, every fan likes to watch the statistics of those superstars on the court. Jordan throwing a three-pointer and David Wesley throwing a three-pointer are still very different. Of course, this style of play also has a very big Limitations, such as the last game with the Rockets, if Malone and Lin Han feel bad, then the team is really tragic, if you want to change the offense can not be changed.
Fortunately, the Spurs are not the Rockets, although this team also has a three center, the strength of the three centers is no worse than Olajuwon. But it is indeed a lot worse in terms of dominance, which led to the two Jazz giants Lin Han and Malone being very happy in this game.
Even some Spurs fans of the visiting team exclaimed when they saw Malone and Lin Han constantly using their talents and abilities to play one-on-one, especially in this game because of Rod Man's foot injury missed. No one in the Spurs can withstand Lin Han. After Lin Han did not have any scruples in this game, he almost staged a brutal killing of other Spurs outside players.
122 to 106, the Jazz actually beat the Spurs with a huge advantage of 16 points on the road, and the game entered the garbage time game in three quarters. In the three quarters, Lin Han scored 36 points on 14 of 24 shots. Malone He scored 31 points on 12 of 22 shots, and the two Jazz giants scored 67 points in this game.
And after defeating the Spurs. Next March 4th, the Jazz and Mavericks played away. The Jazz also completed a killing of the Mavericks on the road, 113 to 90. The Jazz won the Mavericks by 23 points. In this game, the Mavericks and the Spurs are different. They have never thought of trying to use David Robinson to rule Ewing and Lin Han like Olajuwon like the Spurs. Niu is very simple, he doesn’t want to lose a big score, so this team almost keeps the rim. Jazz has the ability to throw them at the outside, except to send Marsh to stick to Lin Han outside. The others all shrank, even if Malone pulled out of the middle distance, they were only a symbolic defense.
In this case, the Jazz did not play as easily as the Spurs in the previous game. Although the score was won a lot, but in the first half, because the Jazz continued to play away, the feel was extremely cold, so the Mavericks first half Not much behind, only after knowing that the Jazz recovered his hand in the second half, this team only increased the difference between the two sides.
The performance of Lin Han scored 41 points and 11 rebounds in 14 of 29 in the whole game so that Lin Han gained a golden skill point after the end of this game.
In this game, Malone is also unwilling to be lonely. He made 13 of 25 shots and scored 35 points and 14 rebounds in the game. He also performed extremely well.
After the Jazz ended their away game with the Rockets, the team defeated the Spurs and Mavericks in a row and quickly embarked on a winning streak again.
It's just that this jazz won the game in this way, but it gave a not-so-reliable feeling.
Even if the team then defeated the old opponent Sun on March 6 by 114 to 106 away, then defeated the Blazers who lost the Drexler on March 8 and won another 4 straight wins. This team's head coach Jerry Sloan and the team's core point guard Stockton are frowning.
Of course ~EbookFREE.me~ At this time Jerry Sloan and Stockton were a little worried, but Lin Han played very cool, especially after Malone strengthened his offensive, Lin Han felt his pressure A lot less in an instant.
"Karl, your game should be played like this, before suppressing yourself to do so"
After defeating the Trail Blazers away, when the game ended, the game performed very well against the Trail Blazers who had become a fish belly. Lin Han scored 38 points in the game. He excitedly patted Malone on the shoulder and said .
But the compliment of Lin Han made Malone a little speechless. The kid didn't seem to find out what he wanted to do.
When thinking of this, Malone felt as if he had misunderstood this guy.
However, Lin Han and Malone have been really refreshed in recent times. The two giants have restrained each other inside and outside, making the opponents have a headache, but the other jazz players really collapsed.
At least this style change has made the jazz, which is still running, more elusive. (To be continued) ()
