Vol 2 Chapter 213: 5 straight wins and Sloan's choice

(Recommend a new master book of sports super training master, the latest masterpiece of sports god, quality assurance)
"Karl, congratulations, the latest mvp leaderboard has come to the first place again"
When the Utah Jazz ended the away game against the Blazers, the team did not make much adjustments and flew directly to Los Angeles. On March 10th, the team and the Los Angeles Clippers, the only Jazz team, still have one. Games to play.
However, when the team came down from the plane and arrived at the hotel on March 9, the Jazz player Karl Malone smirked with a newspaper in his hand, and seeing this scene, almost all jazz players laughed. To Zhidào, these jazz players are not the same as Jerry Sloan. Jerry Sloan, a very old-school coach, really does not care about these. According to many jazz players, he will not pay attention to anything other than games and training. So fortunately, he met a team player like Stockton and Malone. If he met another superstar player with a sharp personality, such as Jordan and Pippen, Jerry Sloan might have long been Was swept away from the jazz. w "Fiction" novel chapters are updated the fastest
In comparison, in nba, except for a few head coaches, the other head coaches are the nanny of the players, especially the nanny of the team superstar players, so these coaches naturally need to pay attention to these star players in the team at all times. The situation, if only the business level is excellent, this is absolutely not enough.
"Haha, what's the matter, don't you see, both Lin and John are still behind, maybe Lin and John may be the first next time"
After Karl Malone finished speaking. Like Stockton, he stared at Malone a little speechlessly. This guy said no care, but looked at that expression. Looking at the expression of the frown, this guy is quite happy now.
"Unfortunately, this month's best of the month was taken away by David Robinson. It would be nice if the best of the month remained on our team."
"Yeah, but the team did lose a lot last month, and David Robinson played a double-double last month, and the Spurs have a very good record. There is really no way."
Of course, for the Jazz, whether it is Karl Malone, Lin Han or any of the three Stocktons, it is a celebration to celebrate on the mvp list. According to the current situation, Malone, Lin Han and Stockton have almost booked the trophy. Originally, in the eyes of many jazz players, the three headed players of the team are best to spend all the months of this year. The best are all swept. That would be more perfect.
but. After all, the current nba is only one month best every month. If you want a team to take it completely, it is not Kěnéng. It is better than the Bulls of the year. Neither Jordan nor Pippen can make the best of the month. The black and white hegemony also did not have any team to do so.
Moreover, in fact, the best player of the month in February was awarded to David Robinson, even Lin Han and Malone or Stockton have no opinions, jokes. Based on David Robinson’s four double figures in February and 31 points, 11 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 4.5 blocks per month, plus the Spurs’ performance in losing only 2 games this month. It's really unreasonable not to give him the best month.
Of course, the February best player Jazz was lost, but Lin Han’s best rookie of the month is still his. According to Lin Han’s current performance, although his competitor Hardaway is very strong, he can still maintain it. An average of 20.2 points, 6.1 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game is magical. If it weren’t for the existence of a super rookie like Lin Han, the best player of all months of this year might be taken over by him. This one was stimulated by Lin Han. The deep Magic players now seem to have accepted this reality, especially before the All-Star, as long as they met a miserable opponent made by Lin Han, such as Maxwell, like the Rockets, Lin Han will The abuse is very miserable. In order to prove that he is not worse than Lin Han, he will also abuse Maxwell once, and now, he has no longer done such a thing.
It’s just that Zhīdào was stimulated by Lin Han in the All-Star Game. After the All-Star Game, Hardaway’s style has obviously changed. It’s not that he started to attack like Lin Han. His style of play is more active and aggressive. He no longer passively waits until his teammates can’t do it. In this case, he had already started all the way before the All-Star. The declining magic rose very clearly after the All-Star game. After Hardaway became strong, the team's record finally stabilized the fourth position in the east. The tigers eyed the top three eagles again. Knicks and Bulls.
Of course, if Hardaway’s 20+6+7 all-round data is not met by Jordan, Lin Han and the four centers, then this guy can be said to be the best rookie data in any year in the past 10 years. Of course, in addition to Hardaway, this year's player who can compete for the best rookie with Lin Han, like the four small swingers who have been completely played by the Mavericks, and another Mashburn, this guy has maintained the average scoring this season. Average 22 points, even after the All-Star Game recently, there are signs of getting better and better, but because of the team's record, he really does not want Kěnéng to compete with Lin Han. As for the other, this year's The No. 1 pick, second-year junior Chris Webb, as an inside center so far, has averaged 18.5 points, 9.5 rebounds and 4.1 assists and 2.5 blocks. It is also terrifying. If it is not for this performance, he has no capital and team coach. Confrontation, for Old Nelson, even if he no longer likes Weber, he can't do without him.
However, like Hardaway, Chris Webber's data is enough to win the best rookie data, but similarly, such data is almost no challenge in front of Lin Han now averaging 36.2 points and 4.5 rebounds. Although Lin Han averaged 28 shots per game, it was indeed very controversial. After all, Jordan had only 27.8 shots in a season. Jordan averaged 37.1 points per game that season. As a rookie, he averaged 28 shots per game in a season. This can be said to chase Chamberlain. Chamberlain averaged more than 32 shots per game during his rookie season.
Now with the time of NBA coming in March, the Jazz team has now begun to discuss the attribution of the major awards after the end of the regular season this year. It is not only the Jazz family. It can be said that when the Jazz team came to Los Angeles, almost all NBA The major media are discussing this matter.
As the Jazz players are discussing now, the regular season mvp is naturally the hottest quarrel, Malone, Lin Han and Stockton all ranked in the top three in the last two mvp rankings. This means that in the league's opinion, the three are basically equally important to the Jazz, and those media experts are naturally almost the same argument, for example, when discussing Stockton. They would say that this jazz player is the team's metronome. This has never been seen by nba mainstream experts. Hǎode point guards have always carried the reputation of a data brush, and are considered to only rely on Malone to play pick and roll. Functional point guard, if you let him attack. He may not even be able to attack the Rockets' Kenny Smith. So even though the Jazz point guard took so many assists and steals, he hasn’t even entered the best game once, asking the Zhīdào Cavaliers point guard Mark Price to mix his face once in a while. Well, and this year he led Jazz, a dull offensive team, after successfully combining pick-and-roll and shelling this season, Stockton has completely corrected his name.
In addition to Stockton's metronome, Malone is considered to be the cornerstone of the Jazz, although because of Lin Han, his average scoring this season is only 25 points. His average score in the last 7 years The lowest year. But his assists per game and rebounds per game have reached a career high, averaging 12.8 rebounds per game. Compared to last season, it was a whopping 1.5, especially in the offensive rebounds. Malone has been able to grab nearly 4 per game this season. In addition to this season, 4.5 assists per game is also a career high. 1.9 steals and 1.8 blocks are also a career high. It can be seen that because of Lin Han's reason, he can put more of his energy into the team's defense and response. Now this extremely versatile power forward is not Because Lin Han's performance was really good some time ago, and he also played 5x5 data, the league will never pull him from the first position of mvp. I have to say that although this guy is encountering Olajuwon and You Sometimes it is not so powerful, but in terms of data, it is definitely a cornerstone-like data, averaging 25+13+4.5+1.9+1.8, such data does not have any Wèntí with mvp.
Of course, compared with Stockton's metronome and Malone's cornerstone role, Lin Han's role is simple. This guy's status in the jazz is the team's sharp knife, although Lin Han has shown that he is very The strong defensive ability and versatility on the court have surprised many American media and experts. The evaluation of Lin Han has also changed, but Lin Han’s basic evaluation is still one that allows the team to provide him with firepower and a mobile phone meeting. 'Malignant tumor', although he is now able to defend and play other things, so the evaluation is slightly better, but it is just a technically comprehensive'tumor'.
At nba, these experts are indeed a bit discriminatory against a player who scores high shots and high scores, just like the famous saying that Pippen said when he was asked about Lin Han’s Wèntí:'If I also have every game I will be able to score 40 points per game on 30 phone appearances, so don’t look at Lin Han’s average score per game is really scary, but the data value is not so high. If it’s not for this ranking, it’s from the league, Lin Han is afraid now Has been surpassed by Stockton, but even in the eyes of many expert media, Lin Han is surpassed by Stockton, which does not mean that Lin Han has not performed well this season, this jazz rookie has done Good enough, so it is still one of the mvp hits this year. After all, when three people compete for an award, there is really an accident of Kěnéng. The three people split the votes. If you support Malone’s diehard media, you will support it a little less. Lin Han's diehard media is a little more, so even if Malone is the first in the mvp rankings, Kěnéng will turn over.
Therefore, at this time, the final attribution of the whole league to the mvp of this year's regular season has now been discussed in the fiery, Jazz three core players. After the time came to March, it was obvious that the newspaper report rate was much higher.
In this case, when Jerry Sloan came to Los Angeles with his team, he was in a city with an extremely developed media industry. Even Jerry Sloan, who had been blocked again, had a lot of knowledge about the changes in NBA's public opinion in the recent period. At least he finally understood why Carl Malone had such abnormal performance in the recent period.
In Jerry Sloan’s heart, Lin Han’s performance in the recent period did not have any Wèntí, even though Lin Han has indeed become more in the shot recently, but this was originally his original style of play. John is brushing data, but one thing Jerry Sloan can be sure of. Karl Malone has been brushing data recently.
The team's boss swipes the data during the game, which was originally a very difficult thing to deal with, just like the team assistant coach Phil Johnson had thought before. Even if he told Jerry Sloan of Malone's Wèntí, Jerry Sloan was only annoying, because he had no way to solve it, according to the current situation of Karl Malone. Unless he can make Lin Han less shots. Lin Han’s score fell, and Malone naturally didn’t need to brush, but it’s clear that Lin Han’s score will be lowered. This guy not only took his own right to score, he even gave him away. Lin Han organized the offensive ball rights at certain times on the court, and most of this was taken.
Let the kid's score decrease and the number of shots decrease. This is almost not Kěnéng's thing, if Lin Han's shot and score can not be controlled. So Malone made concessions. Since Malone decided to brush the data for his honor, it means that he has thought about all the consequences.
Now Lin Han and Malone are really flying, and their scores have really been rising in recent times. The Jazz are now more and more like a giant team. Other players, even Stockton, became vassals of the two. In this case, as the playoffs gradually led, Jerry Sloan really felt like he couldn't wait.
Because the time left for him to run in the team has become less and less, according to the situation of Karl Malone and Lin Han, if Malone does not believe that he has ensured his honor and status, the team’s head player is absolutely nonstop. Down.
"It's difficult, it's really difficult"
In the hotel where the Jazz stayed, as the team's head coach, Jerry Sloan found himself very headache at this time. When the team did not have Lin Han before, he was looking forward to the appearance of a player like Lin Han, and the ball The team now has Lin Han, and he also has other troubles. If Lin Han is now the team’s boss, the team will never have such a Wèntí, and if Malone’s strength is stronger, the team is also not Kěnéng This Wèntí appeared.
It's just obvious that Lin Han is not Kěnéng's boss, and Malone is not Kěnéng in terms of strength. He can keep up with Lin Han's strength, so this has caused the jazz team to be so entangled. A very happy trouble.
The current Jerry Sloan has some happy troubles because the team has two super players such as Malone and Lin Han. However, on March 10th, the Jazz away game and the Clippers played as the Jazz’s host team. First, the Clippers will not give the Jazz the opportunity to deal with these troubles.
Although the Jazz won two games with the Clippers not long ago, this team is naturally capable of restraining the Jazz. If the Jazz have a super center like Olajuwon and David Robinson, the Jazz will naturally not I'm afraid of this team. After all, although this team's outside is very powerful, but the inside players are really scum. If in the past, when Malone was more defensive and coping, although the Clippers had a poor inside, but Because of the height of Bùcuò, it is not possible for the Jazz to crush. In this case, this team can even rely on the strength of its outside players and even have Sir Kěnéng.
And in this game, although the Clippers really want to beat the Jazz, the league's first team, because for this team, their current record is a bit awkward, and other lotto teams have failed , Grab the former draft picks, their record is too good, but to enter the playoffs, their record is too bad, in this case, this team is indeed a bit embarrassed, perhaps the only goal of this season is to be able to defeat The Jazz, this can be regarded as an account of this season, after all, the Jazz is the league's first. The team that broke the Lakers record has only lost 6 games this season, and it is not Kěnéng that they want to beat the Jazz. They actually had a chance in the first two confrontations.
And this time, they can indeed fight for at home.
However, what makes the Clippers a little embarrassed is that they are indeed fighting to beat the Jazz at home, but this jazz today is completely different from the previous two games. The first two games. They only need to entangle Lin Han, and then entangle with other players in the Jazz, because after entangled Lin Han. Jazz's offensive pursuit is overall and lacks aggression. Although Malone is very powerful on the offensive end, he has been suppressing his offensive this season. In order to give more opportunities to teammates. This is correct, but sometimes lacks offensiveness, especially for the inner line of the Clippers who are already weak. What they are most afraid of is that others are entangled with them, because they have enough outside capital to entangle with their opponents.
And after the game started, when the Jazz's head player Malone faced Bootello, his opponent of 2 meters 03 in this game, he almost behaved like a on the offensive end, originally because the team was young Potential power forward Roy Ott was injured before he got a starting opportunity for rookie power forward Outlaw. This time it was almost directly broken by Malone.
Faced with a height that is not as good as his inside, even strong men like Rodman have to lie in front of Malone. When Malone bullied these people, basically he could do whatever he wanted. Offensive means Lin Han was dazzled and did not hesitate to face players like Olajuwon or Ewing.
In this case, the Clippers, who were prepared to continue to deal with the Jazz as before, soon discovered that they seemed to be finding the wrong way.
Especially in this game, when Lin Han did not choose to defend the Clippers' shooting guard Ron Harpa, but chose the Clippers' super small forward Dominique Wilkins, this exceeded the Clippers' estimate.
This also led to the Clippers' expectation of a game. At the end of the game, the team lost to the Jazz 107 to 121 at home. They lost 14 points at home and lost the style of the Jazz nemesis.
When the game ended, as the best player in the game, Karl Malone made 18 of 31 shots, made 8 of 10 free throws, scored 44 points in the game and also grabbed 14 rebounds and sent out With 7 assists and 2 blocks, the performance was extremely comprehensive, and the Clippers' inside line was almost exploded by him.
Although Lin Han was in the game because he met Ron Harpa, the former Jordan Terminator, he was not as good as Malone in the statistics. He was only 13 of 27 and scored only 33 points. The contribution is not in scoring, but in defense. In this game, facing Lin Han's defense, Dominic Wilkins made 12 of 36 shots in the game and only scored 38 points.
As the league's hottest young cancer, Lin Han finally learned the style of Dominic Wilkins, the league's predecessor, in this game. Lin Han played really no one in the game, and the legend of the former eagle The players are similar, with 36 shots in the game. There is no one-time assist. Even Lin Han, under normal circumstances, now there will be one or two assists in a game.
Of course, although the Clippers lost in this game, their three outside cores were actually not too bad. At least Dominic Wilkins scored 40 points against Lin Han’s defense. Butt point guard Mark Jackson scored 16 points, 10 assists and 7 rebounds against Stockton, almost a triple-double. Although Stockton sent 18 assists in this game, I have to say that Istow With a style like Kirton, no one of the league’s first-line point guards can't attack and beat his opponents. If it is not this season, he really shows everyone his ability to guide the run, Lin Han may also understand why he The assists are so high, but those experts are dismissed.
After defeating the Clippers away, the Jazz scored a five-game winning streak, and in this game Lin Han and Malone scored 77 points, accounting for almost 65% of the team’s total score, and this is not the first time for the two. In this way, it can be said that the team's five-game winning streak after losing to the Rockets, both of them scored more than 60% of the team's score
This is not a very normal data, because it allows everyone to see that Jazz's current style of play has become more and more giant.
Although this style of play is really effective when facing opponents like the Clippers~EbookFREE.me~, it is even better than the previous style of the Jazz, but obviously, even if the Jazz can play with giants France defeated 90% of the league’s teams, and even 90% of the games were better than the team’s play, but the remaining 10% of the teams were definitely not able to beat the Jazz like this, and the remaining 10% of the ball The team even has Kěnéng as the biggest competitor of the team's remaining championships.
Now that the Jazz are constantly winning with giants, Jerry Sloan now also needs a choice, whether to continue to allow Malone and Lin Han to continue to play such talented basketball and giant basketball according to their instincts and instincts, or the team Forcibly returning to tradition and team, this is a very big Wèntí.
Continue to play in this way, the Jazz does not need to run in, just watch the others, let Lin Han and Malone hammer, just with the strength of these two people and Stockton, want to break into the west There is no Wèntí in the final, but it is a little more difficult to go further. The Jazz can use Xīshēng this season to allow Malone to brush up the data and take the mvp to fight for the team to return to the next season. Such resistance will be less.
And forcibly to reverse the current situation of the team this season, Jerry Sloan needs to take a lot of risks. One does not annoy Malone and Lin Han, even if he is in the Jazz base, he will not stay Down. (To be continued...)
