Chapter 193: Lin Han and O'Neill

(It was cold yesterday, and I have been diarrhea when I came together this morning. This update is a little late, and there is a slight error in the one yesterday. The team of Dell Curry is the Charlotte Hornets, and the fisherman has the same inertia. Is written as a bobcat, I am really sorry, and the last thing is to ask for a monthly ticket.
After the dunk contest and three-point contest at the All-Star Weekend, the focus of the entire All-Star is now on the top of the All-Star game starting at 8 o'clock on the evening of February 13th. The media has already started to speculate on the four centers.
Originally, there were only three centers in NBA. Why is there a fourth center now? The fourth-largest center is naturally the flexible fat man O’Neal of the Magic. After being arbitrarily rounded by the three centers last season, O’Neal performed very well this season and is second only to the scoring list. Yu Linhan and Admiral David Robinson, in addition to scoring, seems to be the most important defense as a center. Whether it is a rebound or a block, this rookie sophomore has performed very well this year.
Although at the beginning of the season, the Magic faced the Knicks, Spurs and Rockets, and O'Neal was once again taught by the three centers, but I have to say that this Magic's flexible fat man does not know that it is a nerve Ojo still has the qualifications for getting more and more courageous, although the Magic's record has now been eagled and public. Long wind. The literary bull counterattack has already fallen from the second in the east to the fourth in the east, but the Magic's head center is even better in performance. This is simply a miracle.
And because of his high popularity, the second-year rookie of the league has become an All-Star player for two consecutive years and is also a starting player last season. O'Neal can't stand with Olajuwon, and this season, although O'Neal still has a lot of wins and losses in direct matchups, he has to say that in terms of statistics, he is no worse than any of the three centers. , Even because of age. It's impossible for the three centers to swipe their numbers in the regular season. This leads to O'Neal's stats being even the best among center players.
Coupled with his popularity of almost more than three centers, O'Neal is now called the league's fourth center center increasingly louder. It has to be said that O'Neal is now far more popular or powerful than the current Cavaliers player Doherty, who was previously thought to be the most likely to become the fourth center, and after the media released this setting Neither the fans nor General Olajuwon and the gorillas seem to have much dissatisfaction. It seems that after repairing O'Neal, who wasn't a good person last season. These three also realized that this guy really has the strength to stand with them.
And more importantly, before this All-Star game, the United States was discussing the absence of Jordan and the absence of Barkley. Other players such as Thomas Larry Bird and the Magic were also absent. This time the All-Star It was a reshuffled All-Star or the three major centers finally became the league's most prestigious and most powerful presence, so before this All-Star game, the media slogan was the three major centers' duel. In this case, Ewing is one to two. It's not a matter of opinion, so for these people, they quickly reached a consensus that O'Neal became another big center and Ewing combined, can't they become 2 to 2? It happens to be two in the east and two in the west.
Although this group of reporters is for convenience, O'Neal has now been pushed to the position of the four centers, but it can also be seen from this, that the Magic's head player is really lucky after entering the league, even in Luck is better than Lin Han.
How many second-year rookies have this status in the history of the league? Can I justly fight for mvp on the All-Star stage without being constrained by seniority? Even Jordan can't do it, but O'Neal is now the fourth of the four centers, so he has the right qualification.
So after the All-Star Three-Point Contest and the Slam Dunk Contest, the next day, Lin Han saw a lot of O'Neill news from the predictions and reports of the major media in the United States on this year's All-Star game. Some envy jealousy, because there is really no way not to envy jealousy.
Also a player who comes with a mocking face as soon as he enters the league, O'Neal washed it in just one season, and it was also helped by the American media, and Lin Han? Now it seems to want to reach the level of O'Neill, do not know how long to wait.
And Lin Han is now thinking about how the law destroys Olajuwon and the admiral to take mvp for granted, but O'Neal can now compete fairly with Olajuwon and others without even thinking about it.
In Lin Han's view, O'Neill is really a player with a template of the protagonist of the Cavaliers novel.
Of course, although he is really jealous of O’Neill Linham now, he also knows that this kind of thing is really not envious, and, although not justified, according to Lin Han’s ideas, this time I am afraid that the east and the west The same is definitely not a monolithic one, at least one of Lin Han’s most familiar opponents, the Bulls’ Pippi Pipa, this uncle will never watch his own fight for Ewing or Olajuwon.
You know, when Jordan was in the front, he went to play for Jordan. This is no way. Even if he is crazy, he doesn’t think he can grab Jordan’s limelight in the All-Star game. In the All-Star game last season, Jordan vs. Utah’s Shuangsha is the main body, and he stood next to Jordan to fight. Although everyone gave him a face, it’s nice to say that the Bulls have played against the Utah Shuangsha, but people with clear eyes can see that as long as Jordan is in, he It is impossible for Jordan to be on an equal footing.
In this case, this season can be said to be Pippen’s best opportunity to prove, and Pippen’s hunger for honor [thirsty] has never been as strong as this season, but just how good he was even if he led the Bulls. . The best month of the week is basically nothing for him, because he always stands in front of the mountain of Lin Han and the jazz, and even the regular season mvp. From the current point of view, as long as the Jazz does not die, this honor can only be one of Malone, Lin Han and Stockton. It has nothing to do with him. In this case, the All-Star mvp. Lin Han did not think that Pippen would not fight.
Just like the situation in the West, Lin Han is a troubled status quo and unwilling to be arranged. And Pippen is also a turbulent status quo, unwilling to fight for other people, in this case, Lin Han is not without opportunities.
Just like Lin Han said. Olajuwon and others were not Thomas or Dr. J and Larry Bird. Their prestige is not so high. In the same year, a group of ball kings and quasi-ball kings in the east were also pressed by magicians and Jabal in the west. Even if Olajuwon, who also participated in the All-Star for the first time, wanted If you have a chance to show, you have to see if you have enough weight.
Similarly, when the Magician and Jabal and Thomas and Larry Bird were able to beat the battle, it does not mean that Olajuwon, who is also a predecessor, can also beat the battle. At least for now, there is still a gap between the two sides.
If this time the All-Star in the West was replaced by Thomas or Larry Bird wanted to suppress Lin Han. Or maybe the magician and Jabal want to suppress Lin Han. Even if Lin Han is arrogant, the final result must be the same as Jordan. Therefore, in Lin Han's view, although Jordan was stronger than himself, the chances he encountered were too bad.
Therefore, despite being isolated by the bigwigs in the west, Lin Han knew that he was not without chance even if he was rejuvenated. The current situation is still very complicated, and no one knows what the situation is like until the last minute.
So in the afternoon of February 13th, when the All-Star players played together, Lin Han has always been a relaxed face.
This not only surprised Linton’s two teammates Stockton and Malone, but even the big brothers such as Olajuwon were amazed. They really did not expect Linhan to still have such a good attitude. .
Although the team's joint training is nominally a joint training between the East and West All-Stars, it is actually a pre-match press conference. The training is public. Before the training, the media from all over the world will be qualified to interview themselves. player of.
So at this time, many All-Star players are more embarrassing, such as Western All-Star Clifford Robinson and Sprewell, the reporters around them are basically not, as an All-Star player, when they are in the arena When I saw other players who were also All-Stars but were surrounded by three layers of inner and outer layers, and how can I not be embarrassed when I was on my own side.
And at this time, they can’t even go if they want to. This can also be seen in the reality of NBA. There is no way. This is a commercial alliance. Therefore, this time is not only embarrassing for Sprewell and others, even The same is true of Olajuwon and others. Although they are much better than Sprewell or Payton and Robinson, they are also unable to take the shot compared with Lin Han.
Just the posture around Lin Han, I am afraid that almost half of the live reporters are surrounded by Lin Han. From this perspective, Lin Han is now the first popular player in the NBA without any doubt.
"Hakim, let this kid be proud for a while, he can't laugh at the game tonight"
At this time, looking at Lin Han who was surrounded by reporters, Dreixler was very unbalanced. When he came to the NBA All-Star Game two years ago, he went to the finals against Jordan two years ago. He is the same as Jordan, East Flying Man, West Glider, which is more than just talking.
And now, because of the failure two years ago and the injuries in the last two years, this has caused his popularity to decline extremely. Not only has the first shooting guard in the West gone, it is even worse than Richmond, which he had never looked at before. It's a little bit worse, how can this make Drexler tolerable?
According to the idea of ​​the Rockets head coach Tomjanovich, Drexler, who has been the first priority in the recent period of injury, cannot play more than 20 minutes in this game, just go and play, but Now Drexler has discovered that he absolutely can't just play around now.
Of course, Olajuwon also dislikes Lin Han, but the Rockets' head player is still restrained. Only after staring fiercely at Lin Han who was completely surrounded by reporters, he turned around and went to practice.
After the interview at the scene, the All-Star players of the two teams in the East and West began to practice after getting together in twos and threes. Speaking of joint training, in fact, after the interview, everyone is familiar with it first, and there is no practical content. Even if Jerry Sloan is really a perfect genius coach, he wants to change one with a training class. It is also impossible for a team that is temporarily pieced together to give this team a tactical ability.
So in the NBA All-Star game. It's not that players don't want to really play like the regular season, but obviously, it is difficult for everyone to really cooperate well. If you don't cooperate, and play real play, it is likely to be a one-to-one game, which not only consumes physical energy. And it's hard to say whether you can stick to the audience. In this case, the All-Star score has always been high, not only because everyone has a good offensive talent, but also one of the most important reasons is that everyone basically does not play on the defensive end.
Of course, if the game reaches the final moment, the winner will be scored, even if there is no tactical system, it must be played. After all, when the game hits that time, there is no need to consider physical problems.
and so. It should have belonged to the time of Jazz coach Jerry Sloan and Hawks coach Wilkens, but these two coaches are very interesting to stand aside, without any tactical arrangement, as the nba's old fritters, Although Jerry Sloan also coached the All-Star for the first time, but he has not participated in the All-Star era, he knows the rules.
In general, the NBA All-Star coach is a decoration, the rotation of the players is fixed, when the starting, when the substitute is on, these have been designed before the game, they generally don’t unless the player gives them face Otherwise, it is difficult for them to make any changes to the personnel, let alone the tactics, it is estimated that when the command is on the spot, "Everyone calm down, "We are going to defend, "Defeat them", etc. , And it's still not until the last moment of the game.
Therefore, these two head coaches are very clear about their position in the team. As long as the team bosses are not willing, they can’t control it, so these two simply stood by the side and chatted, and Players on the field also did not practice any tactical cooperation, but played heads-up.
In particular, O'Neill is a living treasure. He actually found Lin Han and demanded a one-on-one match with Lin Han, and he attacked. Lin Han could only defend. Of course, O'Neill said he would not attack Lin Han with a back attack. Lin Han will only be dealt with outside.
In this case, Lin Han, who was originally isolated and bored, also agreed to the request of the Eastern Conference starting center. Lin Lin originally only played with O'Neal casually. Although he defended, if O'Neal did not use the offensive method inside, But playing outside breakthroughs and shooting, Lin Han will not be afraid of him at all.
Is O'Neill really able to play the big step change on the outside?
Lin Han thought that way, but what made Lin Han extremely surprised was that when the Magic center’s head-on single-on-one with Lin Han actually played a change of direction against Lin Han, And it is not a big step change of direction breakthrough, but similar to Iverson's butterfly wearing a flower step, two bodies in front of Lin Han change direction, facing Lin Han who is poised to steal, the magical center. A light back-turn turned Lin Han directly over, this guy didn't use his own strength to turn around, and even Lin Han was given by this guy without even touching O'Neill's body.
After passing Lin Han, O'Neal completed a one-handed dunk directly at the basket.
When all this happened, the on-site camera and photo reporters and text reporters were all stunned after seeing this scene, and even the other players on the field were stunned, although they could see that Lin Han didn’t use his full strength, He didn't even bend his waist when defending.
But with O'Neill's height and weight, this guy was able to play with his body turned and turned around to break through. This Nima, even the gorilla Ewing, may not be as agile as he is. After the league except Olajuwon and the Admiral I'm afraid no center can play better than O'Neill.
"The four centers are really four centers. O'Neal didn't expect to have the same ball control skills as outside players. It's incredible."
Of course, at this time, the group of reporters from all over the world who were on the sidelines were shocked by O'Neill's defeat of Lin Han in their impression. This is not the case with basketball.
"Shaq, you just walked"
It's just a magic player Hardaway who stood side by side watching Lin Han and O'Neal heads-up after O'Neal dunked. He said coldly, and after Hardaway finished, some children's character O'Neill directly touched his head and laughed.
Just now, in order to be able to turn around, Lin Han did not have physical contact with Lin Han. He did steal a step, and it was considered to be a step, but because his big man used this trick, everyone else was still surprised. Among. Didn't notice, it was just that Hardaway was really calm and kept a high degree of attention. You know, even O'Neill's opponent Lin Han did not notice this.
"Hahaha, Perry, am I your teammate or this kid is your teammate. You actually help an outsider"
O'Neill, who was a little embarrassed, smiled after looking at the cold Hardaway and then at the surprised Lin Han. Some pretended to be angry, but after O'Neill finished, Hardaway stunned Lin Han for a moment, then turned his head away with a grunt.
Finally, looking at the back of Hardaway leaving, Lin Han was also speechless. He didn't seem to do anything, why Hardaway was even dissatisfied with him.
"Hehe. Lin, how about it. My technique is very good."
Although Lin Han was really a bit speechless about Hardaway's character at this time, O'Neill had already put his right hand on Lin Han's right shoulder at this time, and said proudly.
"Well, your skills are indeed better than mine compared to walking."
In the end, Lin Han was also annoyed and said O'Neill, but after Lin Han finished speaking, he found his head was ravaged by Olajuwon.
At this time, it should have been the time for the all-star training of the East and West, just because everyone did not want to practice any tactics, so everyone was looking for a few familiar players to play. Lin Han, who had no relationship with O’Neal, he I really didn't think I could play with this big fat man.
Just looking at Lin Han and O'Neill who are extremely eye-catching on the court. At this time, Olajuwon and Drexler, but their faces are not very good-looking.
Especially Olajuwon. At this time, the Rockets center looked at O'Neill's eyes but it was not quite right. Obviously, the young center as his competitor in this game is now stared by him.
After the joint training in the afternoon of the All-Star game, Lin Han did not think that he would become very embarrassed that he could be mixed with O’Neal, which made Lin Han not appear in front of the world’s media. John is happy.
It’s just now that it’s clear that the Western gangsters’ means against him have become more and more open, and Stockton and Malone can’t help Lin Han because of their previous friendship. Now Lin Lin’s situation is indeed Very dangerous.
This is not just something Lin Han can see, even O'Neal, who played well with Lin Han in this joint exercise, can see it.
"Perry, I really didn't expect that your indifference guy will beg me for a day, how about it, and my performance will satisfy you"
Watching Lin Han leave his back after training, O'Neal smiled and looked at his teammates with some smiles, but after O'Neill finished, Hardaway didn't pay attention to this big fat man, just After glaring fiercely at O'Neill, he also walked towards the player channel.
"It seems really difficult to subdue this kid"
Looking at Hardaway's back, O'Neill also touched his nose and smiled. As a teammate, he greatly appreciated Hardaway's teammates, selfless, responsible, and strong enough, but As the leader of a team, he is very helpless to such teammates, because in front of Hardaway, he does not have any majesty of the boss, or that he does not have the temperament of being the boss, Hardaway also has no team second Temperament, the Magic also did not think about separating O'Neal and Hardaway, so now O'Neill feels awkward.
Although Hardaway never thought of the idea of ​​usurping power, O'Neill always wanted Hardaway to convince himself, but Hardaway's character was indeed a bit too cold, which made him completely unable to find a chance to start, but just didn't think of such a The indifferent guy would actually ask for help for his biggest enemy, which has to be said to surprise O'Neill.
"This year's rookie is really a group of interesting guys"
When I think of here. O'Neill also followed Hardaway into the player channel with a smile.
At 8 o'clock in the evening on February 13, 1994, the Minnesota Timberwolves' home target center, at this time the entire arena was already full. As an NBA All-Star Weekend, although this year's All-Star Rookie is very interesting, after all, the All-Star Rookie is only an All-Star Rookie, and the biggest feast of the All-Star Weekend is the All-Star Game.
So at this time, when the players in the east first played, and the starting ceremony for the starting players in the west started, the whole arena was almost in full swing.
After all, this year's All-Star Game is considered the home of the West, although the Eastern players play. There was also a lot of cheers, but it was still a lot worse than the West side, especially Lin Han, who was the second player to start in the West. It also makes the center of the target almost feel overturned.
"Hahaha, Lin's appearance was too satisfactory. He just bowed his head and extended his right hand to greet the fans at the scene. He should learn to learn the Camp in front of him."
When Lin Han appeared in the audience cheering like a tsunami. At this time, fans all over the world watching this game have almost all their focus on Lin Han.
Although today's theme is the two centers in the west and the two centers in the east. But obviously, many fans still hope that Lin Han can play in this game.
After all, Lin Han's popularity and attention are here.
"Maybe Lin Han is more indifferent, and the more fans like it, not necessarily. Isn't it a popular term now called "cool"? Maybe Lin Han now gives people a cool feeling."
In the commentary of this game, Larry Bird, the head coach of the All-Star rookie game, said with a smile on his face.
As one of the parties that Jordan was taught at the All-Stars, Larry Bird certainly knew the situation of Lin Han now, even those with a little information are well aware of what is happening now. So he also knows why there is no point on Lin Han's face at this time because it is the start of the All-Star smile.
Because at this time, if Lin Han could laugh, it would be really admirable. For Lin Han, this game is not a feast to enjoy the carnival, but a real battle, even more cruel than the regular season.
Of course, at this time, Larry Bird can't really go to support Lin Han on the court. All he can do is beat the side drums for Lin Han next to him, and indirectly support this young man who is now a target.
"From the perspective of the starting lineup, this game seems to be a little difficult in the east, and the advantage in the west is great."
At this time, after the players of both sides played, when the players of the two teams came to the court to warm up, Collins on the side of the court said at this time that the start on the west side of this game was Stockton. Lin Han, Camp and Malone and Olajuwon, except for Camp’s slightly undersized cards, everyone else is a superstar. Even Camp, is now one of the hottest players in the league, known as all the league’s insiders. The super heroes, like the supersonic Chambers, were all players where they went.
On the eastern side, because of the troubles of Jordan fans, the starting lineup is more worrying. The starting guards are bj Armstrong, Kenny Anderson, the forwards are Pippen and Coleman, the center is O'Neill, except for O'Neill and Pippen. In addition, the Nets double stars Anderson and Coleman are just ordinary star players, not a superstar at all, as for Armstrong, it is completely a role player.
You know, the Nets' performance this season is not very good. The reason why Anderson and Coleman can be the starters is not because of their excellent data and the team’s performance. Basically, it is the result of Jordan fans’ trouble. Jordan said that his most respected head coach is the current head coach of the Nets, Daley, plus Daley was once the head coach of the Dream team, so, Aiwu and Wuxia, Anderson and Coleman have harvested a lot Many votes from non-Nets fans.
Otherwise, a team that can't even enter the top eight teams in the East has two All-Star starting players? Isn’t that a joke, you know, there is a forward like Dominique Wilkins and a defender like Mark Price on the Eastern bench.
Of course, because of the troubles of Jordan fans, many people are indeed worried that the Eastern All-Star game is not an opponent of the Western All-Star players at all. In particular, the gap between the starting players on both sides is really too big.
If the game is too big at the beginning, it will not be easy to catch up later.
And after this game started, when Lin Han and other Western players stood on the court, Collins' fears were actually superfluous.
Because after the two teams stood on the court, after Olajuwon jumped and defeated O’Neal, the Western All-Star’s first attack did not attack the weakest point in the east and did not hand the ball to Lin Han. In the past, Stockton, as the point guard, handed the ball directly to Olajuwon after Olajuwon came to the inside to ask for the ball.
The first offensive in the West started with Olajuwon. The Rockets' head player touched O'Neal as if he had encountered an enemy. Two extremely complicated steps in the basket drew O'Neal directly after dunking. succeed.
At this time, after watching the offensive success, Olajuwon who left directly, O'Neill who was beaten by Olajuwon at the beginning of the game was a little overwhelmed at this time. He really did not think of when he had offended this. Rocket's headed player.
In this game, the All-Star of the West came to Olajuwon and asked for the ball crazy. The goal was directed at O'Neill. This gave Collins on the side a feeling of hitting the face in an instant. The West did not use Linhan to attack Anderson but Olajuwon. Attacking O'Neill, this is indeed very unreasonable, but this is nba, it is impossible to explain with reasonable.
However, Olajuwon stormed O'Neal at the beginning, which is a good thing for many people, because the four center wars they look forward to really start from the beginning.
But I am afraid that these people will be disappointed. After the start of the big four centers, O'Neill, who recently entered the ranks of the four big centers, was directly beaten by Olajuwon at the opening.
Just 3 minutes after the opening, O'Neal opened 1 of 5 and Olajuwon was 6 of 4 and even the Magic's head player was directly covered by Olajuwon as soon as he opened!
And when all this happened~EbookFREE.me~ Not only O'Neal on the court was a bit ignorant, but also the fans and two commentators on the court were a bit ignorant. Originally Olajuwon played O'Neill. This is for the east. It is a good thing, but no one thought that the final outcome would be like this.
O'Neill was defeated by Olajuwon's sudden attack, and Lin Han, who had been observing the situation since the start of the game, narrowed his eyes when he saw Olajuwon attack O'Neal wildly. stand up.
Obviously, Olajuwon’s revenge has already begun, and O’Neill has been spotted by the western big man for his reasons.
O'Neill probably never dreamed of dreaming. He had just been named the fourth center, and was beaten as soon as he came up in this game.
And now, looking at some helpless O'Neill, Lin Han feels that he now needs to help a group of fat people who have been beaten hard without a firm foothold.
Although Lin Han and O'Neill are not teammates, he can help.
For example, if some crazy Olajuwon doesn’t have a ball in his hand, after he can’t get crazy, can’t he? (To be continued...) ()
