Lin Han has now improved his status in the Jazz. Before, he was not qualified to participate in important decisions of the team, because at that time he had not been determined by the team as the team's successor, but now it is different. ｜.
Don’t think that every star player in nba has the ability to express their opinions to the team. Even if they are all-stars, for many teams, it is just a passer-by, and even quasi-superstars and superstars may not necessarily be able to participate in the ball. Team decisions, such as the Pippen Bulls, are also superstars, but because of Jordan, he has always been the team’s second best, neither the team’s past nor the team’s present, nor the team’s future. In this case, even if Pippen was traded, the Pi Ye might not know for the first time.
Therefore, Pippen wants to rise strongly during Jordan's absence. This is not because he wants to oust Jordan from the position of boss. It is more about hoping to have a higher position than the team's second, like Lin Han is the same now.
However, although Lin Han now has the right to speak on the team and has the right to make suggestions on the future construction of the team, but the decision-making power is still not there, let alone Lin Han does not have the right to decide, neither Malone nor Stockton, in the nba I am afraid that the player who has the right to determine the future of the team will now be left with Jordan. It is not acceptable for the Bulls boss or general manager to not ask Jordan’s advice before making a decision on the team’s future.
So this time. When the head coach and general manager of the two teams of Jerry Sloan and Scott Ryden were in a big quarrel, Lin Han’s intervention at this time was very surprising. After all, even Malone and Stockton didn't dare to intervene. Because after the two of them, neither Ryden nor Jerry Sloan could persuade them, or that Malone and Stockton could not agree better than the ability to manage the team and the selection. necessary.
It's just that these two did not expect Lin Han to seem to be doing well. The guy named David Wesley, who had just proposed it, had never heard of it. Even Jerry Sloan and Scott Ryden didn't know it at all, just knew that there was such a name on the transaction fax sent by the Nets.
In the face of the extremely puzzled eyes of several present, Lin Han was also speechless. In fact, he didn't know much about this David Wesley, but he vaguely met him in the legendary bronze-level legendary player, a bronze-level legendary player, if it is not a repeated name. Then David Wesley should be very good. Although now it seems that a game in the Nets can not play for seven or eight minutes.
"Well, the last time we played against the Nets, I watched his game. This guy has good strength and comprehensive technology. Although he is a little shorter, he is still fully qualified to play on the bench."
Lin Han said a little nervously at this time, seriously. Lin Han does not know what kind of player David Wesley is, only know that this 1.83 shooting guard should be good in the future. But in the current NBA, although everyone does not say it, they are basically discriminatory players with shorter heights. A shooting guard with a height of less than 1.83 meters, even if he is strong, it is impossible to start on a championship team. That's why the Nets guard couldn't make it in the Nets playoff-level team. On Chuck Daly's team, how could a defender who didn't play defense come forward.
However, in the Jazz, maybe this short defender can play from the bench. After all, in the Jazz, this team that has been increasingly bombarded does not need a backup to defend and can score. Just fine.
"A well-rounded small guard?"
At this time, after Lin Han put forward his own suggestions, Jerry West also pondered. In the United States, players who can appear on the NBA field if the guard is less than 1.69 meters and the shooting guard is less than 1.85 meters. These players All have certain skills, so Lin Han said that David Wesley is good at technology. Both Jerry Sloan and Scott Redden believe it, such as the Hornets’ point guard Boggs and the Kings’ potato Weber. These guys are all masters. David Wesley can be seen by the Nets, and willing to give him a contract will naturally not be nothing.
At the Nets, David Wesley is not right now, but when the Jazz may really have some good developments, it may not be necessarily. When thinking of here, whether it is Scott Ryden or Jerry Sloan nodded.
Not because of how good this proposal from Lin Han is, but because it is operable, that is to say, the options that were originally excluded can now be reconsidered. Be aware that when Scott Ryden received this proposal When the Nets traded chips, it was quite an atmosphere.
The Nets want to use two role players and a mixed veteran for a hot all-star player? By the way, the salary space of the team has been cleared. If there is such a good thing, if Leiden really agrees, it will not be laughed at for a lifetime.
However, compared with other teams' transactions, the Nets really have more players. After all, it's just a matter of replacing role players with star players. If the number is still small, it's really unreasonable. Now the Jazz actually need a super meat in addition to the inside. In addition to the shield, the choice of role players really needs quantity rather than quality. Now the Jazz bench is not short of players with good quality. Isn’t Jeff Malone, but a Jeff Malone It can't stop everyone else in the team from pitting. In this case, getting a group of good quality role players may be better than getting an all-star substitute.
After all, with Lin Han's scoring ability and Malone's scoring ability, the team has two super strong points enough. In the playoffs, when the two take turns playing with the substitutes, they can also survive a little.
So, now for the Jazz, a super insider shield is a must. Then the role players need to be able to throw three points, some can break through, can not get a group of small princes in the cast as before. Role players are all of the same type, and now Jazz is like that. Role players are all mid-range shooters. It is useless to be posted at the critical moment.
"In this case, I will go to the Nets in the last few days to see if Edwards and Pj Brown or David Wesley have such abilities."
Finally, Malone and Stockton were extremely surprised. Even Lin Han was very surprised that in the end the general manager of the team actually made a final decision that seemed to endorse Lin Han’s proposal, and Jerry Sloan on the one side did not seem to have any opinions.
"Your kid is really hidden. When did you know so much about other teams? Don't say that kind of thing I saw him playing in the last game. I can remember the game with the Nets. The backup defender has never spent 3 minutes on the court. He has not even touched the ball several times.
"Yeah. Still John smart. If you don't remind me, I really think this kid is the information from the last game"
After leaving the team's general manager's office, Lin Han was speechless for the very superior IQ in the IQ and the completely suppressed Malone in the IQ. Finally, after a white glance at Malone, he faced Stockton. Shrugging, and then an unexplained look made Stockton want to strangle Lin Han.
"Okay, no matter where you get the information from. Or you and David Wesley have a good relationship and want to find a job for him. It doesn’t matter. I hope this guy can really help the team. it is good"
Stockton finally took a deep look at Lin Han and said with a serious face, after that he took Malone away first, and Lin Han stood a bit dazed and smiled bitterly.
It seems that the leader of this team is also choked by this group of substitutes, and has already said this directly.
"Looking for job opportunities for good friends?"
However, when thinking of Stockton’s last sentence, Lin Han was a little trance, he did not think about it. In NBA, a player who has the right to participate in team building in the team, like Lin Han, even He has no decision-making power. As long as he proposes that the team can sign a free agent, the team will not ask for most of the time. Although the list of 15 people per team in nba is not large, but a few idlers come in It's still possible, as long as the players are not too bad.
In fact, Lin Han had considered hoping to sign Bowen into the team before, but after Lin Han put forward this idea, he was actually rejected by Bowen. After the guy left cba to Europe not long ago, he actually said I'm pretty good in Europe, I hope to improve and improve, do not want to go back to nba to sit on the cold bench or can not enter the activation list.
Although Lin Han can ask the team to sign Bowen, but with Lin Han’s vision, he knows that if Bowen’s ability is only at the Chicago Genius training camp six months ago, it is estimated that it is really difficult to get into Jerry Sloan’s eyes. Even with Lin Han’s face in the end, he will give Bowen a chance, just like Aron Williams and Brian Russell, but if only from the strength, whether it is Brian Russell or Aron William Neither James is comparable to Bowen now.
Russell and Williams could finally hold the opportunity, but Bowen was not necessarily so, although he was rejected by his friend, Lin Han was not dissatisfied because he knew that Bowen’s decision was actually Correct, he is not able to compete in a championship team now. If so, it is better to stay in Europe to improve his strength.
"It's such a melancholy guy"
But despite supporting Bowen’s decision, Lin Han was still a little helpless for Bowen wasting a chance to enter the NBA. For most Americans who play overseas, let alone a formal contract, even if it is a short contract, they are willing to run. Come back, but it is clear that this guy who is destined to be a role player despite his poor strength is really already ambitious about his future. Perhaps this is related to Lin Han’s original stimulation to him. Lin Han can see When he came out, Bowen didn't want to be a pure role player, he was not confused about his future now.
"Maybe this is why he can become a legendary player"
When thinking of this, Lin Han was also happy for his friend.
Bowen now seems to have found the way he wants to go in Europe, but now Lin Han in NBA still needs to continue to run for the team's victory.
After the game against the Cavaliers on January 16th. The Jazz's next schedule is followed by the away game with the Timberwolves on the 18th, the away game with the Rockets on the 19th and the home and supersonic games on the 21st and the Warriors on the 22nd.
It was another wave of five days and four battles that made the Jazz extremely helpless because of the first two months. The Jazz only played 27 games, so this month, the Jazz's schedule is very dense. It can be called the Devil's schedule month. According to this schedule and such opponents, the Jazz even want to adjust their status. It is difficult to adjust.
Unless all the main forces of the team are rotated, they will not be allowed to participate in the game. But it is clear that if this jazz is really the main rotation, relying on Lin Han with a group of substitutes. Even if Lin Han is really Jordan, he can't win a few games.
In this case, Jerry Sloan can only think of the rotation of Stockton and Malone, each playing a break, and the two can not desperately after arriving on the court. Just keep the game feeling a little bit. It can be said that these recent games will all be Lin Han's one-man show.
Now Jerry Sloan just hopes that he can adjust the team’s status all this month. As for the remaining games this month, he can win a few games. He hasn’t paid much attention to it. Now the team has won 36 games in a row. Very good.
Of course, for Jerry Sloan and Jazz up and down, this time is indeed enough to win, Lin Han also proved that he can have a super performance even if he leaves Malone. But many people in the United States may not miss Lin Han.
Many people now speak directly after the game between the Jazz and the Cavaliers. Next, from the start of the Jazz and the Timberwolves to the end of the Bulls, in seven games, the Jazz can win three games is a victory. Even in seven games, in addition to winning the Timberwolves, the other six lose all. There are even some media whether the Jazz can win the Timberwolves away. They have doubts because they don't know if Malone will continue to be sidelined. You have to know that even if the Timberwolves are no better, this is a team with only inside and outside. It is much better than the Jazz without Malone.
Lin Han has the ability to continue to play inside against Leitner, but this time if Lin Han really went inside to play against Leitner, then the outside Leider may be directly crazy.
The Timberwolves outside star who was extremely humiliated by Lin Han not long ago, the league's four small super swingers, although his defense cannot match Phils and Gerald Williams, but his offense can make the Jazz except Lin Han. Everyone outside cried, and now Jazz is not afraid of defensive opponents, and offensive players.
In this case, many American media experts believe that Jazz's remarks that even the Timberwolves can't pass without the Malone can't be regarded as prejudice. In fact, it really has a great possibility.
"These guys say we can only win three games in the next seven games. I think this actually overestimates us."
Even in the Jazz team, when the Jazz left Utah to Minnesota, as the host of the meeting before the start of the game, the team’s first leader Stockton also said with some emotion, He wanted to call out the slogan of victory, but obviously, it was really impossible to call out at this time.
In addition to the Timberwolves, the Rockets and the Supersonics are super championship teams. Even if the Jazz lineup is complete, they may not be able to beat them. The next Warriors are now one of the most beautiful Western teams. After the Chris Mullin's comeback, this team with a very poor performance at the beginning of the season has a temporary suppression of the big brother. Now the record has started to rush, and it has been able to enter the central playoffs in the western region. In the eastern away road trip of Xia Li, the Nets, Pistons and Bulls, let alone the Bulls and Nets, the strong team, and the Pistons, with the resentment of the Pistons and Jazz, this game Isaiah Thomas may come back, although the strength It has been difficult to bully Stockton as much as the previous two seasons, but it should not be underestimated.
In the seven games, only the Timberwolves are a little better to deal with, but thinking of Lin Han and this team's grievances, such a good deal is relatively speaking.
"Although we are facing great difficulties now, as long as we can still stand on the court, we need to continue to fight for victory. I believe that even if we lose all seven games in the end, it does not matter. We Just do your best!"
Now the Jazz has a sigh of relief, and now the breath is almost out of reach. It is very clear whether this situation is Stockton or Jerry Sloan.
but. For Lin Han, he knows that his first possible NBA loss is really getting closer, but even if he loses, Lin Han is unwilling to lose to a fish team like the Timberwolves. It is really It's too shameful, even if it is lost to the fish belly team. Lin Han is definitely not willing to lose to Leder's team.
After all, the Timberwolves' outside line has just been ridiculed by Lin Han not long ago and he is not on the same level.
So, before this jazz-timberwolf game begins. During the pre-match press conference, Lin Han satirized the group of media that said they could only win three games in seven games this month.
"I don't care about what Leder said. I said it last time. We are not a player of the same level. I think even Olajuwon will not care about Luk Langli's challenge."
Before the game begins. Leder, who was awakened from the previous blow by Lin Han, did not directly point to Lin Han's nose this time and said that he would defeat Lin Han and humiliate Lin Han. However, in an interview before the game, it was revealed between the lines that he wanted to challenge Lin Han again in this game, so that he can end the record of the Jazz's 36-game winning streak and find his lost face. The Timberwolves' outside line is I really want to continue to challenge Lin Han.
Only in the face of the challenge of Lin Han's infamous opponent, Lin Han was not polite, and directly compared the difference between Luk Langli and Olajuwon between him and Leder.
Who is Luk Langli? Timberwolves, the backup center of the fish-meat team, and who is Olajuwon? The Rockets' super center, the league's first center this season, one is in the sky. One is on the ground.
Of course, facing Lin Han's sarcasm. After listening to Leder, what kind of reaction would Lin Han have? I don’t know. However, in this game, what made many media very speechless is that Jerry Sloan did not let Malone truce today. The truce was replaced by Stowe. Kirton.
The two recent games, whether it is Stockton or Malone, are estimated to be the first treatment in their careers. After they became famous in the Jazz, Jerry Sloan really used these two to death.
However, for the game against the Timberwolves, Stockton really didn’t have too many problems. For the Timberwolves, such a fish team, the Jazz can only limit their core players, and this The team's core players are naturally only two. Dream team's insider Lettner and this year's best rookie candidate Leder, as long as they can pinch the two, Stockton will no longer be irrelevant.
After all, the Timberwolves have to beat the Jazz. The biggest basis is not how well their tactics play. For most of the league's fish team, there is basically no tactical execution, so they can only beat the Jazz. I hope my star can explode.
Just like Leder, the Timberwolves' outside player really hopes that Lin Han will be stimulated by the media to play inside and compete with Leitner, but let him go, so that he can bully other Jazz players. Beat the Jazz with his own strength, and wash away the black history that was humiliated by Lin Han.
Even in order to achieve this goal, he really did not provoke Lin Han before the game, but the final result was that the Jazz did not make him wish.
In this case, when the game between the Jazz and the Timberwolves began, the Timberwolves' head guard found how difficult it was to beat the Jazz in this game and beat Lin Han.
"It's too cruel. It's too cruel. Lin Han seems to have inexhaustible energy. This game is very impactful as soon as it comes up. It seems that he played 46 minutes in a row in the last game. This game has no effect at all, it’s incredible, it’s incredible!"
Originally in this game, Leder did not imagine that he could beat Lin Han. After all, even physical strongmen such as Malone and Stockton can't bear it. Lin Han is a rookie and less than one in professional basketball. Player of the year, how good is his physical fitness?
And in the last game with the Cavaliers, Lin Han played 46 minutes in a row. When the last two minutes of the game were scheduled, Jerry Sloan replaced him.
In this case, it is really hard to say how much energy Lin Han can have in this game, and this is probably one of Leider's most reliant wishes.
Only after the game starts. Looking at Lin Han crushing himself again and again, Leder almost vomited blood, he didn't think of letting his teammates help. But how can he tolerate such a young man, he can only bite his teeth and insist on heads-up with Lin Han, this game is a live game in the United States, anyway, the humiliation is also humiliating, if this game, let teammates help , Then it is not just humiliation but completely admits what Lin Han said before, he and Lin Han are not a grade player.
Facing Jordan. In the face of Drexler's one-on-one, Leder will admonish, and will be caught. But in the face of Lin Han, a kid he didn't look at in the genius training camp, he really had no determination.
It is also in this situation that this jazz game with the Timberwolves was very interesting and almost once again became a one-man show for Lin Han. Just like the last time the two teams met. At that time Lin Han completely defeated Leder, and this time it was almost the same.
"This guy is really useless. It was so nice to say before the game. After meeting Lin Han in the game, it was not as good as the Knight's Phils. Phils was able to push Lin Han one by one. Han has no strength"
"Yeah, even if the defense is really bad, but the offense is also locked into this by Lin Han. How did he get into the lottery?"
"Is it still the four small super swingers? The gap between Leder and the other three is too great, and even the courage like Mashburn is now gone. Not to mention how the league was compared to Hardaway. I'm going to look at this guy. I think the Van Exel of the Lakers is better than him.
Of course, at this time, Leder was very suppressed by Lin Han. In fact, before this game, after Lin Han locked Leder, if the Timberwolves' head player could not beat his own offensive end, then his The performance is not necessarily worse than the Cavaliers defensive player Phils. This is the sorrow of these players who have offense and no defense.
If Lin Lin didn't defend at the beginning, when he first played against the Knicks, after Lin Han smashed the offensive end and was perfectly locked by Starks, before the miracle moment, Lin Han's performance and this Leder in the game was not much different.
All of them are undercover, but unlike Leder, Lin Han is no longer able to lead the team because of problems with his offense.
In fact, Lin Han’s feel is not very good in this game. Although Leder did not let his teammates help, as the Timberwolves coach Sidney Lowe really can’t completely let Lin Han out, in order to prevent Lin Han That kind of unreasonable breakthrough, not long after the game started, after Lin Han crushed Leder a few times, the Timberwolves have been inside the two players standing not far behind Leder, waiting to pin Lin Han at any time .
In this case, Lin Han rarely used courage or a big step to make a breakthrough in this game. Most of them were McGrady-style dry pulls and Kobe's turn-around jump shots. One of these two skills is a draft type. One is the ability to coexist with tumors and score explosive power.
However, even if only using these two skills, Lin Han's feel is really not so good and it is not blocked by Leder's defense.
105 to 88, the Jazz away God Timberwolves 17 points, scored a 37-game winning streak in the team's history, this game Lin Han scored 19 points on 36 shots, scored 48 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks, two consecutive games Down 40+10, although the Timberwolves didn’t have the crazy crazy Lin Lin like the Cavaliers~EbookFREE.me~, it did not completely let Lin Han face Leder one-on-one.
Under such circumstances, Lin Han was able to score 40+10 in two consecutive games, which was very difficult.
"The Timberwolves and Leder are now losing. It seems that the team that can prevent the Jazz winning streak now needs the Rockets or the Supersonics. Now, the kind of outsiders who don’t have Malone for Lin Han or have suffered from the end point care data The argument of shrinking by more than one-third can also be stopped. Lin Han is a veritable superstar rather than a pseudo-superstar. He deserves everyone’s respect and status.

"For Jazz, he is as important as Malone"
After the game ended, as a live commentator, Collins also excitedly concluded.
"However, in the next game with the Rockets, the Timberwolves may be really difficult. Olajuwon will not let this team step on them twice in a row if the Rockets still want to compete for the championship."
While excited, the former Bulls coach was also worried when he looked at the player on the field who was smiling because of the victory. (To be continued...) ()
