Although the Nuggets' leading center Mutombo and Lin Han have no connection, and the two have no relationship, but as a young player entering the league, Mutombo is naturally not like the nba. The veteran also has some inherent dissatisfaction with Lin Han because of salary or other reasons.
In addition, the two are not a player in a position at all, such hatred is even more impossible, so when the newspaper saw Lin Han see this Nuggets player challenge himself, Lin Hanna It was really puzzled, and it wasn't until he read all the reports that he understood a little bit why the Nuggets suddenly challenged themselves with a seemingly impossible challenge.
This is not because he did something sorry for Mutombo, but because Mutombo is dissatisfied with this year's All-Star team.
You know, Mutombo is the No. 4 pick in 1991. As soon as he entered the league in the first season, he became an All-Star player. However, a rookie All-Star is the same as Lin Han and Hardaway this year.
And the Nuggets' record that season was almost unbearable. In this case, as a rookie, Mutombo can enter the All-Star, which can be seen how he was against the sky at that time.
It's just that since the rookie season, because of the team's needs, Mutombo, who has little offensive ability, has fewer and fewer opportunities to shoot. Even many of his teammates have not given him a ball when attacking. He wants to have an offense. Opportunity, then you have to grab the offensive rebound, so in the data. Mutombo is really declining year by year, although the Nuggets head center has always withstood one of the league's best defensive insiders.
But since the All-Star rookie game, he has never entered the playoffs. Mutombo, who has averaged 12 points, 12 rebounds and 4 blocks per game so far this season, is the current block leader in the NBA block list. In this case. Although he also knows that it is really difficult to become an All-Star starter, it is always a problem to be a substitute. After all, his data is not bad, and the team's record is not bad.
What disappointed him was that the league didn't look at him at all. Although the All-Star bench was selected by the coach, without his name there would be no name. Although this year's All-Star is known as the All-Star of the newcomers, such as Linhan in the west, Sprewell and Clifford Robinson are all newcomers, of course, he can't grab Linhan's position if he wants to grab it. What makes him dissatisfied is why only an offensive insider like Clifford Robinson can enter the All-Star, but his defensive insider cannot enter the All-Star?
You know, although Clifford has averaged nearly 20 points per game this season, other offense standards are much worse than Mutombo's defensive standards, so. In a sense, Clifford was able to be selected, but he was indeed very stimulating to lose.
For one of the best defensive players in the league. What happens after being stimulated? Of course, I was looking for an opportunity to prove myself. Isn't the current nba player looking down on a defensive player like him? So good, he proves that he can not only enter the All-Star game, but also beat the best offensive player in the league. It is a huge mistake for the league not to choose him for the NBA All-Star.
With such a plan, Mutombo naturally challenged Lin Han, because the best player in the league's offense is not Lin Han, as long as he can prove that he can make Lin Han's scoring efficiency drop. Then he succeeded.
Of course, after understanding these conditions. Lin Han did have some sympathy for the young center, although the league has not admitted it. But as a business league, and the All-Star Game is the pinnacle of the business game of this business league, in such a game, the chance of defensive players entering is much lower than that of offensive players unless a team can Like the Pistons of the year or the Knicks of today, Rodman of the Pistons and Oakley of the Knicks, these two are because of the team's reputation, even a defensive butcher can still Enter the All-Star.
However, although the Nuggets are a strong Western team, but compared with the previous Pistons or the current Knicks, it is not a grade, so the team's pure defensive players want to enter the NBA All-Star team is really difficult, unless Mu Tombo’s popularity and prestige are indeed high enough that others can’t refuse. With the current Nuggets’ eighth ranking, if they beat the first jazz in the playoffs and Mutombo is very good, then this defense The reputation and popularity of the players has come up, even if no one else wants to let him into the All-Star, but it is impossible to forget him.
It's just obvious that now, Mutombo, who hasn't played in a playoff game in his career, now wants to tie himself to Rodman and Oakley, which is really too early, although his strength looks They are not inferior to these two people, and may even be stronger than these two people.
So, after understanding everything, although Lin Han sympathizes with the Nuggets center, but he is also a little speechless, if you want to prove yourself, go to Clifford Robinson who grabbed your position, or find you to suppress you Olajuwon and the Admiral go, why do they stare at an outside player like himself, although Mutombo's idea is good, but this idea is somewhat extreme.
"Dikembe is a very good defensive player. We have played two games with the Nuggets before. His ability is impressive. The Nuggets are also a very good team. This team deserves a Rewards for star places, if I were a coach, I would vote for Dikembe in my hand, I really appreciate him"
On February 7, 1994, on the day of the Jazz away game with the Nuggets, at the pre-match press conference, as Lin Han expected, this group of journalists of good deeds focused almost all their focus on him On the relationship with Mutombo, these guys have always wanted to dig out some of Lin Han’s dissatisfaction with Mutombo, and then use it to provoke the Nuggets head center, it is best to let these two people It will be even better if this game is in conflict.
You know, the Nuggets are a pretty young team, not only their leader Mutombo is very young. The other players on the team are also very young, as long as their fighting spirit is up, their momentum is up. Any team in the league will be afraid when they see it. This is a gangster team that is not dirty but full of courage.
It's just that these reporters think very well. Wanting to continue Mutombo's dissatisfaction with the All-Star list, provoking the relationship between Linhan and Mutombo, but what makes these people very speechless is that they have always been arrogant and never lose money. The tyrant is like a full Linhan In the face of Mutombo's provocation, it was actually a smile, and he continued to show his favor to the Nuggets center at the pre-match press conference. This almost made all the reporters on the scene stunned for a while.
Did the kid take medicine today?
Almost for a moment, these guys were thinking about why Lin Han is so abnormal today.
"Is there any dissatisfaction with Dikembe's remarks? I don't think it will make me dissatisfied. I don't think Mr. Jordan will be dissatisfied with me because of my previous joke, neither of us A group of narrow-minded people who like to take revenge, villain"
When Lin Han was questioned whether he would be dissatisfied with Mutombo’s remarks, the jazz rookie’s answer simply made these uncrowned kings off the court in a hurry, this guy made it clear that they were choking them, so see Lin Han didn’t want to do what they wanted today. At this time, these reporters also understood that it was almost impossible to provoke Lin Han to take the initiative to attack Mutombo.
As for whether he can provoke Mutombo to take the initiative to attack Lin Han. This is also very hanging. Although Mutombo is dissatisfied with the league and wants to challenge Lin Han, the Nuggets player has admitted to some extent that Lin Han is indeed the strongest offensive player in the league. In this case, it can be seen that the Nuggets-headed player does not have any meaning of dissatisfaction or contempt for Lin Han. It may be difficult for Mutombo to actively attack Lin Han.
And this is why after Mutombo launched a challenge to himself, Lin Han was just a little speechless but not angry. Compared with the challenges of Pippen and Barkley, Mutombo’s challenge did not have the right to Lin Han. Offensive, this Nuggets player simply wants to prove his defensive ability. In this case, he challenges the league's strongest offensive player and there is nothing wrong with it. Just like Lin Han had been challenging Jeff Malone for the team's stable start. If Lin Han couldn't even tolerate this kind of thing, then he was really a small person. It's time for the villain to be hacked.
"Lin, for the recent period of Philadelphia high school sophomore Kobe Bryant said, he singled out to be able to beat Jordan, what do you think, do you think he really has the ability to participate in this year's All-Star rookie game?"
At the pre-game press conference between the Jazz and Nuggets, after seeing that they were unable to provoke the relationship between Lin Han and Mutombo, they did not continue to struggle with the issue except for some disappointments. These guys quickly turned the topic to this year's All-Star rookie game.
I have to say that although the All-Star is getting closer and closer, the focus of everyone's discussion is slowly shifting in this area, and David Stern may be very happy that he is leading the All-Star Rookie Challenge. Successfully, since high school students can participate in the NBA All-Star Game, it can be said that the popularity of the All-Star rookie game can almost cover up the All-Star game.
Some time ago, the nation’s major super geniuses introduced Hardaway, Barkley, and Larry Bird to the news of themselves, and Kobe Bryant, the former "old acquaintance" of Linham, was naturally one of them. Especially in the last few days, after the league announced the four-person list of Garnett, Iverson, Carter and Rahim, many other high school student geniuses already know that they have no chance, they are already down, or are seeking Opportunity for the next year, but Kobe Bryant, a sophomore genius from Philadelphia, the 16-year-old high school student is really unwilling to take it. He directly said that there is a problem with the selection of NBA this year. It is not fair. Let all the players who are interested in participating in the rookie game be gathered together, and then everyone will singled out, and whoever wins will be selected.
Of course, for Kobe's statement, these lively media are extremely happy and agree with each other. And some unscrupulous media even contacted the Philadelphia 76ers, hoping that the 76ers sent a player and Kobe Bryant to single out and try, the result is. In the attention of many media, Philadelphia 76ers head coach Fred Carter really agreed to the invitation of these guys. And let the team's super young shake forward Witherspoon, a 1.98 meters tall, 23-year-old all-round forward came to heads-up with Kobe. Although Witherspoon's height is only 1.98 meters, the league is called Barkley The second 76ers are really excellent in terms of strength. As a swingman in the forward position, he can average 15 points and 7 rebounds in his rookie season, and even averaged 18 points this season. With 10 rebounds, the 76ers played small forward. Actually, I didn't care too much about playing with Kobe. Who knows, this forward player who didn't care too much actually lost in the contest with Kobe.
Witherspoon and the 76ers are really boring. The team's record this year is the same. Basically this season is over, so the 76ers' players are not thinking about the game, so Kobe challenged it as a matter of consideration. It's just a recipe for the 76ers and Witherspoon, but Kobe isn't for fun. The teenager immediately made Witherspoon stunned as soon as he came up. The Philadelphia high school student almost used his own speed and skill to beat the chunky Witherspoon, although in the end Witherspoon was too late when he woke up and prepared to go all out, he finally lost. Afterwards, after defeating Witherspoon, Kobe directly challenged the 76ers boss Hornacek, and it was not known whether it was intentional, Hornacek actually agreed, and also In the heads-up with Kobe, he really lost to Kobe again.
This almost made Kobe the teenager really confident at the time. When the reporter at the scene asked him whether he could beat Lin Han single-handedly, all the reporters at the scene were happy with the sentence of the teenager.
"Don't tell me Lin Han, I can win Jordan singled out!"
Kobe singled out to win Jordan. Lin Han didn't know, but it was obvious. Kobe, who is still a teenager, is really hot. There is no way to stop it. He singled out the new and the old two headed players who defeated the 76ers. Although the discerning people can see that when he singled Hornacek in the second game, Hornacek certainly did not want to play with this young man. However, it is always true that this guy beat Witherspoon. For a time, this young high school sophomore player has really become the focus of the American basketball community in recent times, and even David Stern was shocked.
In the end, David Stern's statement is that the list has been determined. Whether it is Iverson, Carter, or Garnett and Rahim, these people will not change, they will consider inviting Kobe to join them next year. .
For David Stern, this is a relatively good answer. As the president of NBA, he has the right to ignore Kobe, but in the end he still ignored it, but no one thought that this Philadelphia teenager was unhappy. Directly again in the media, he said that he was willing to accept Iverson or Carter or Garnett and Rahim singles, who wins who wins, who loses who goes down, especially this Philadelphia teenager is quite a look Iverson, who was chosen by Lin Han, said that if Iverson was willing to play against him, he could even make the ball.
Obviously, when the teenager was asked by the reporter if he had the confidence to defeat Lin Han heads-up, he directly disdained Lin Han, but said he could beat Jordan. It seems that he chose Iverson for Lin Han. Such a waste person has no choice but he has great resentment. The key is that Lin Han didn’t even know that Kobe is now a high school player. Lin Han is not always clear about some things in the basketball world. If it is not America Today, Lin Han even handed over his choice to Larry Bird to let the Celtics legend help him make his choice.
Of course, no matter what happened before, but for now, as a spear in the hands of the American media, Kobe is now really standing on the opposite side of Lin Han, facing Kobe challenging Iverson, and Ivers Sen now has no challenge. Now these reporters are all pushing the issue to Lin Han. As long as Lin Han supports the Iverson challenge, this young man who is considered a waste person can’t hide anymore. After all, this is what Lin Han gave him. If Lin Han requires him to compete with Kobe Bryant to score the victory or defeat, even if Iverson is unwilling, he must be stubborn.
It's just that this seemingly fair matchup is too unfair for Iverson. He hasn't played a regular game for almost half a year, and is still struggling to find a sense of ball. Based on his current feeling How could it be Kobe's opponent. These media will naturally not care whether Kobe can finally join the All-Star rookie game with his heads-up. They only want to prove one thing, that is, Lin Han's selection vision is problematic. They just want Lin Han out of the pill.
So after being asked this question, Lin Han just sat there without moving. Without even talking, he sat there for 15 minutes and waited until the press officer said the time was up. The Jazz's guard stood up and left. The group wanted to calculate Lin Han and designed Kobe deliberately. When the guys who singled out with Iverson saw Lin Han leaving, almost all of them gritted their teeth.
"Well, even if you try to avoid this problem. The waste is the waste. Even if Kobe cannot prove that he is a waste, the rookie day will also prove how bad your vision is and how wasteful the players you pick!"
At this time, almost all the people who had madly hacked Iverson at that time, and did not want Iverson to rise with the help of Lin Han, at this time almost in his heart was such an idea.
In fact, Lin Han’s mood is good today. If the questions asked by these guys are too vicious, he would not sit there for 15 minutes without saying a word, wishing to support Kobe and Iverson heads-up. ? The answer is willing, that is sure to be fooled. The reluctance to answer will also be interpreted by these people as Lin Han fears that Iverson is not as good as Kobe. Although Lin Han does not know what personality Iverson is, but as a former genius who urgently needs to prove himself. Is it possible that such a stimulus should not fight? Therefore, the best answer is to say nothing, as this thing does not exist.
Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett, these two players who almost gave him the strongest inheritance of skills are now standing on the opposite side with him, Kevin Garnett will not say, because He didn't count Ronnie Fields. This future No. 1 high school student in the United States probably has no good face for Lin Han. As for Bryant, he expresses his dissatisfaction with disdain for him.
of course. Today's game between the Jazz and Nuggets faced Mutombo's challenge. Lin Han is naturally impossible to focus more on Kobe and Iverson.
"Look, the Jazz are out. Lin Han is out!"
"Hahaha, this game is fun, Dikembe said, this game will challenge Lin Han!"
"You said who will win these two? Dikembe or Lin Han?"
"Of course it's Dikembe, so to speak, he's the league's block leader. Although Lin Han's breakthrough is very powerful, I don't think he can have the upper hand in front of Dikembe."
On the evening of February 7, 1994, the Nuggets' home stadium, McNichols. At this time, this game is really full. If we look at the content of this game alone, the first team in the West plays the West Eighth, the first two teams played twice, the Jazz won, and the strength of the two sides is almost a very obvious gap, but it is clear that this game is not as simple as it seems on the surface, because the jazz team in this game All new players have to be unveiled. At this time, Drexler went to the Rockets and then he took a truce to heal. As one of the two most concerned transactions recently, since Drexler can’t pay attention to it, naturally all Everyone looked at the jazz side.
And Jazz coach Jerry Sloan is also very powerful. At the press conference before the game, he said that four new players of the team will play today, and even Pollinis will also debut as the team's starting center.
"I didn't expect to be able to get a starting opportunity today, and I haven't adapted so much for a while"
When the Jazz players came out of the player channel, as the jazz starter in this game, Pollinis, a rebounding monster nicknamed the Haitian monster, always shook his hands a little, and in his career, there was basically no confusion After a good team like the Jazz can still make a starter, I have to say that this experienced rebounding monster has been recognized by the Jazz coach Jerry Sloan during the team training in the past few days. The starter of this game is considered to be Rewards recognized by him.
"Hahaha, if you don't adapt, I think pj should be happy to take your place. However, you are under a lot of pressure in this game. Mutombo is not a good player."
"Hehehe, rest assured, I have experience with this kid, yes. Lin, you can go to the basket with confidence in this game, I promise that Mutombo is absolutely impossible to cause any interference to you."
In the face of the Nuggets fans some booby sparse. At this time, the Jazz players are all at ease, after all, the boos of the Nuggets fans are not so crazy. Moreover, because this Jazz is a brand new team, everyone is actually looking forward to what kind of sparks they can erase in this game with their new teammates.
Of course, in the face of Pollinis who was a bit stinky at this time, Lin Han was also speechless for a while. Looking at this guy, it seemed that he knew Mutombo very well, but Lin Han was very clear. These old ball ruffians who have been in the NBA for many years, their skills on the mouth are quite powerful, whether it is trash talk or bragging, it is absolutely a must, and Polynes is a bragging player, this It was newly discovered by Lin Han in recent days.
Lin Han is not a little bit lacking in whether his teammate can cover Mutombo and prevent his assist ability from interfering with his offensive ability. However, the team can have such a meat shield blue collar center. It's still pretty good, at least it won't make Lin Han feel unreliable.
"Dikembe. Wouldn't you really play this game, do you really want to play against that rookie?"
Of course, after this time when the Jazz played. Immediately afterwards, the Nuggets players also played one by one from the player channel, but compared with the ease of the Jazz side, the Nuggets are actually very nervous. After all, the first two games with the Jazz lost all of them. The two points of Lin Han Malone are basically two points that they can't control completely. The team's starting power forward Reggie Williams is shorter than Malone. With the characteristics of Malone, the opponent is shorter than him, which basically means The power forward with the Jazz is invincible. As for the first release of the Nuggets, Lions Stitch, not only shorter than Lin Han but also less robust than Lin Han. Although he can keep up with Lin Han in terms of speed, he is basically crushed by Lin Han. As for the team's starting small forward Lafonso Ellis. It is indeed higher than Lin Han, but it does not have the speed of Lin Han, and the defensive ability is not first-class. After all, not every small 2-foot-3 small forward is Pippen.
So, for the fierce name in NBA, it is the object that almost all young people in NBA look up to. A young man like Lin Han actually has a high prestige in the Nuggets, at least whether it is Lafonso or Stitch Lin Han is full of good feelings. As a young team, in the current mood of "Qing Qing" in the whole league, this team has always been very difficult. Almost every player on the team has been Many other veterans in the league have repaired. In this case, there is a player who is so angry for them. Even as an opponent, Lin Han is not low in their minds. This is also Mutombo's willingness to challenge Lin Han. It’s not Olajuwon or the general’s reason, because these old guys are really sad when they start playing young people. At least, Lin Han shouldn’t be so crazy.
Although I think so, the Nuggets are not so certain. After all, Lin Han’s reputation is too prominent. Look at the players he has "played" with, whether it is Barkley, Richmond or Pippen. It was Draxler, these people were all a group of superstars, and not long ago Lin Han also staged the pre-celebration lore in front of Pippen, which was rated as a'One Shot of the Century' by many media and fans.
So especially in this game, Stitch against Lin Han felt that his legs were a bit unheard at this time, especially when he walked on the court to prepare for the next game to warm up, he looked at the face not far away Lin Han, with a bloodthirsty smile like the Devil, felt a little overwhelmed by the young shooting guard.
"Bryant, calm down. It's me who irritated him, not you who irritated him. What's so scared, he won't do anything to you"
Although Mutombo is very young, but this team is already considered a veteran. After all, everyone else came in after 92 years, and he entered the league in 1991, but although he is guilty about his teammates now Some dissatisfaction, but I have to admit that he was not so sure about the heads-up with Lin Han this time. Lin Han's strength is indeed very strong.
Of course, when Lin Han and his teammates walked onto the court at this time, it was very easy, so he always had a smile on his face. If Lin Han knew that his smile was regarded by his opponent as a bloodthirsty smile like the devil, he didn’t know that Lin Han would It won't feel more speechless.
The starting lineup of the Jazz in this game is center Pollinis, power forward Malone, small forward Brian Russell, shooting guard Lin Han, and the point guard Stockton. On the Nuggets side, the center is Mutombo and the power forward is Williams. Small forward Alfonso, shooting guard Stitch. The point guard is Robert Parker.
After the starters on both sides finished warming up on the field, they were all standing and ready to jump the ball. At this time, Lin Han was obviously that the power center that was preparing to jump the ball on the opposite side was looking at himself a little less friendly, obviously This young Nuggets headed center is really full of fighting spirit.
What made Lin Han want to laugh a little was that when Mutombo was staring at Lin Han, he almost forgot to jump for the ball because of the stunned god. This led to the first game after coming to the team, who wanted to express himself Pollinis grabbed the first ball of the game to the hand, and when the basketball passed Russell's hand to the Stockton hand When playing, the Nuggets fans booed.
When Stockton dribbled past halftime and saw Lin Han standing directly in the arc asking for the ball, the jazz's head guard handed the ball into Lin Han's hands without thinking.
Obviously, the first tactic of the Jazz is Lin Han’s singles tactics. Although Malone’s opponents in this game are not very good, Lin Han’s grasp should be higher than that. After all, although the Nuggets power forward is a bit short . But Mutombo's deterrence is still great, Malone is not easy to get to the basket, in this case. It is a good choice to let Lin Han take a punch first.
Therefore, when Lin Han held the ball, he hardly had any hesitation. In the face of some hesitant opponent Stitch at this time, Lin Han almost directly accelerated to start and broke through to the basket.
At this time, Stitch, who had just broken through by Lin Han, felt the wind-like speed and the force of the hammer hitting himself when he was in contact with Lin Han. When he came, he still felt a little cold in his heart, which also caused Lin Han to break through him, and he was still stunned.
The Nuggets head coach Issel, who has been watching this scene on the sidelines, also shook his head helplessly at this time. He can only expect the inside Mumutombo to put all the players who dare to enter the Nuggets restricted area as usual. Something upside down.
"This kid is much stronger than the last time he met, it's incredible."
Looking at Lin Han who almost didn't hesitate to kill the basket. At this time, Isaiah was also a little worried, he was a little uncertain whether Mutombo could stop him.
"I can never let you pass!"
At this time, Mutombo did not think about other things. After seeing Lin Han go to the Nuggets basket with almost nothing, this Nuggets inside line has been waiting for a long time. After Lin Han arrived, he directly flew Lin Han out.
"It's now!"
Watching Lin Han was ready to take off, this time Mutombo was also ready to go up and prepare to cover Lin Han directly from the side, but just when he was about to start, it was almost a moment, he suddenly felt that his side was just The opponent Pollinis, who was rid of himself, appeared again in front of him very lightly. The timing is very good. If Pollinis gets a bit early, then Mutombo can have time to get rid of, and later, Mu Tombo has already jumped up like Lin Han, thinking that the card position can no longer be stuck.
Therefore, when the Nuggets fans on the scene saw Lin Han had started flying to prepare for a dunk, and his own center Mutombo was taken by Polinska in that moment, and after getting rid of Pollinis, it was a little late. Afterwards, I could only watch Lin Han imitate the glide of Drexler’s glide. When I was just confident that my team’s super center could beat Lin Han’s Nuggets fans, it was all speechless at this time. stand up.
As for the Nuggets coach Issel, who was on the sidelines, he shook his head bitterly after a little stunned.
As for Lin Han hanging on the rim at this time, he is quite cool at this time~EbookFREE.me~ because since entering the league, he has not done so easily when facing a super defensive center Dunk.
"Shuang, it's really cool"
When Lin Han got down from the rim, he directly gave a thumbs up to Pollinis on the side, and Pollinis also smiled and extended a thumbs-up gesture to Lin Han.
This time the show looked a little 'affection' of the two, while Mutombo almost want to anger Zouren.
There are times when a center role player does not need much data and can also help the team tremendously, but this time, Pollinis has certainly done this.
"It's very cool for the team to have a reliable center"
At this time, Lin Hanke did not pay any attention to what Mutombo said now. He only knew that he was quite cool now.
However, from another aspect, Mutombo is still a bit tender. If Olajuwon or the other three centers, I'm afraid Pollinis will not even have the chance of a card position. (To be continued) ()
