"Hahaha, Perry, what did the Jazz kid just tell you, and he laughed so happy?"
On the afternoon of March 23, 1994, the Salt Lake City Delta Center Arena, as an away player, challenged the Magic team who were doing field training. This time, they were quite relaxed, especially the team's leading player, Shaq O'Neill, this Everyone can see the smile on his face.
Although after the All-Star Game was overshadowed by Olajuwon and Pippen, O’Neal’s face was very gloomy for a long time, but recently, because of the outstanding record of the Magic, this team’s big head is very He soon came out of that very gloomy emotion, and regained it as a "teasing ratio" again
However, it is clear that in the face of O'Neill's'intimacy', Hardaway, who is also one of the team's geminis, is still full of'indifference' to O'Neill. After watching Aron Williams leave, he had a smile on his face. It seems that Hardaway, who had a great chat with Aron Williams before, saw the smile on his face chilled immediately after seeing O'Neill laugh, and then saw that O'Neill had staggered directly from O'Neill without a glance. This is also quite embarrassing to O'Neal, but at this time seeing O'Neill and Hardaway, all the other Magic players laughed out loud.
The interaction between these two players on the team is too much. O'Neill's enthusiasm is extroverted, Hardaway's ruthless introversion. It can be said that although the two young magical Geminis have completely different personalities, they have not A person really thinks that there is a contradiction between these two people. Even in many cases, the moments when these two players with completely different personalities get along make them feel very interesting. The magic team atmosphere is very good.
"Perry, don't forget it. The kid you asked me to help the jazz before, but I did. You still owe me a favor. You can't treat me like that, smile. Don't be so cold, OK?"
At this time, in the face of O'Neill's still struggling against Hardaway, the other players of the Magic basically put down their basketball, stop their training, watch on the side interestingly, face the team like this The atmosphere, as the team's head coach Brian Hill is also somewhat helpless.
Because of O'Neill's character and Hardaway's strength, there has been a voice in the team recently to hope to focus on the cultivation of Hardaway, although O'Neal is more powerful. But Hardaway’s character is more stable and more suitable for being a leader. For a team that is aspiring to win, it is really difficult for the team to perform without a qualified leader, but looking at the atmosphere of the team, Brian Hill really didn't know how to start.
Fortunately, the team's performance has been very good in recent times, especially Hardaway's recent performance has been quite active. From the game of the Magic Home and Cavaliers on March 18, Hardaway scored 25 points, 11 assists and 4 steals. After that, whether it was the No. 20 facing the Lakers or the No. 22 facing the Warriors, the young magic swingman had a 20+10 stat. Even in the game against the Warriors yesterday, in the face of this year's best rookie contender Chris Weber, Hardaway scored 22 points in the game and also sent 17 assists and 5 steals. In one fell swoop, he set a career assist record. Although Chris Webb's performance was also very impressive yesterday, 13 of 15 games almost hit a 100% shooting rate, but led the team to defeat the Warriors 118 to 117 and finally At the moment when O'Neal was sent off, the final lore was staged with 9 seconds left in the game. Hardaway recently had not said that Brian Hill had asked him to assume responsibility as a leader, but this magic young Rookies have all transformed after the All-Star Game.
This is not only Brian Hill can feel, O'Neill and other Magic players can also feel, otherwise O'Neal is amused but proud character, after he became a four center, if he thinks Hardaway deserves Get yourself. He couldn't be willing to eat deflated in front of Hardaway, and if Hardaway couldn't get his approval, he gave him a bad face. O'Neill has been soaring.
As a head coach, Brian Hill feels very lucky. Because he can watch two talented players continue to grow at an incredible speed.
"Except for the super rookie of the Jazz, I think no one in the entire league can compare with Perry and Shaq. They will be the strongest combination in the future, better than the pair of the Bulls!"
When I think of this, the Magic coach is looking forward to the future of the team. I also think of Stockton and Malone who have been in constant dissatisfaction in the recent period. The Magic coach is very pleased. In his opinion Not only are Hardaway and O'Neill better than Stockton and Malone in terms of talent, but the two of their team will never be infighted after the partner is close to 10 years!
In the opinion of the Magic coach, although the Jazz have performed very well this year in the regular season, from the present point of view, this team is still only a dead bone in the tomb. The future of the league is not in the Jazz nor in Lin Han. Body, but on their magic, and this game against the Jazz, he will let the world see this.
Of course, at this time, the Magic coach Brian Hill is already thinking about the future of the team, but the Jazz side is not as confident, nor is it as nervous as the outside world thinks.
I don’t know if it’s because of a few days of rest in Salt Lake City, I’m a little calmer. During the training of the team this year, Malone’s anger was not much, although he still didn’t tell Stockton on the training ground. In a word, but it is normal to come to the team to participate in training. This is already a concession. According to Malone’s application to leave the game with the Pacers, I am afraid that this guy really didn’t want to talk to Stowe again at that time. Kirton appeared in the same game, otherwise the self-willed older child would not run back to Salt Lake City without a word.
"Lin, why do you guys always hit me with a ball behind your back! Do you want to fight?"
Of course, although it is said that Malone has calmed down a lot at this time, the mood of Jazz Master, who was very depressed recently, is still not so good at this time, and what makes Malone even more speechless. After today’s training started, I don’t know why, this guy Lin Han is always okay and suddenly he will hit the basketball with his back.
This is simply unbearable. Ma Long never thought that Lin Han was joking with him, in fact. Every time when he was angry with Lin Han, Lin Han always said jokes and jokes. At first, Malone really believed, but as Lin Han hit him from behind, the basketball speed became faster and faster, and the angle became more and more. When it was fooling, if Ma Long still believed that this was a joke, then he was a complete fool.
What makes Malone very depressed is that Lin Han is so cunning. He just wanted to be angry, Lin Han just smiled and ran away, and the place he ran to was where he couldn’t go at all. After the guy smashed him with the ball, he ran directly to Stockton, Does this make Malone do this? At this time, Malone, who was still in a cold war with Stockton, did not want to see his old partner at all, let alone stand with him.
I have to say that Lin Han's move is too vicious, too'slut'. Even Stockton, who has been gunned by Lin Han on one side, gave Lin Han a gloomy look.
"It seems that this guy's reaction ability is not bad"
At this time standing next to Stockton though Stockton gave him a stern look. But Lin Han did not have any anger, still a smile, and his eyes still looked very excited.
of course. At this time, the other players of the Jazz really don’t know what Lin Han is nervous on the training ground at this time, but Lin Han knows what he is doing. He is testing whether Malone has the ability to catch his kind of haunting jump pass. Ability, I have to say that although Malone looks a lot fatter than the Lakers white bearded inside, but Malone's reaction ability is still very good. Lin Han used various angles and speeds to hit Malone behind. The ball, the Jazz power forward can almost all react, although there are some because they are too sudden to receive. But he still received most of the and received them, which made Lin Han very excited.
seriously. In the recent cold war between Stockton and Malone, Lin Han was really reluctant to see it. After returning to Salt Lake City, the team's head coach Jerry Sloan said to Lin Han, hoping that Lin Han could temporarily accept the team's arrangements, although the team would lose a lot of strength without him and Malone's contribution. The trip lost to the Hawks and to the Pacers. Without either of him or Malone, this team does not have the strength to win the championship, but the same, if he and Malone continue this willfulness, the team is the same There is no possibility to win the championship, because according to Jerry Sloan's meaning, when their teammates lose their enthusiasm and become a bystander of the game, even if the two can win 90% of the game and crush 90% of the opponents, It is impossible to defeat all opponents.
Lin Han didn’t quite understand these statements by Jerry Sloan. Although Aili in the system space very much agreed, Lin Han was very ignorant. This is not to say that his IQ is a problem, but that he has never experienced or Haven’t witnessed the situation that Jerry Sloan said, because Lin Han saw that he and Malone were very happy, the team has been winning, and the teammates are also very happy after winning, although before Because they lost the Rockets to the Rockets, but in Lin Han’s opinion, this is nothing. After all, there is no way to ensure that their feel will always be good in the NBA. The game that was defeated by the Rockets was just a coincidence. At the same time, Malone feels cold.
As for the participation of teammates, how can they be unhappy if they can win all the time?
Therefore, Lin Han is very disagreeing with the practice of Sloan and Stockton against Malone in the recent period. Also for Stockton and Jerry Sloan's giant basketball and team basketball, they must grasp a Dulin Han did not have much sense of identity. Although he didn’t say anything on the surface, Lin Han was very sympathetic to Ma Long, who was in a situation very similar to his previous situation. In Lin Han’s view, they now play against Ma Long. Identify, don't you just disagree with his style of play?
Of course, although Lin Han has a say in the team, Lin Han is not stupid. If he really stands directly on the side of Malone, the Jazz will be directly in trouble. This is not what he wants to see.
How can we make Jerry Sloan and Stockton understand that even if only he and Malone attack, the team can win and win all teams? This is a very difficult question. After all, the ball is in Stockton's hands, if he doesn't release the ball. No matter how much he thought about it, Lin Han couldn't think of a way to prove it. After all, Stockton and Jerry Sloan came to play extreme this time.
At 8 o'clock in the evening on March 23, 1994, the Jazz home Delta Center Stadium was almost fully occupied this day. Although this team's performance this season is very good, but recently there have been many Rumors have made the fans of this team very worried, which makes this game particularly eye-catching.
"Do you say Karl will play this game?"
"Can't Karl and John really have a conflict and infighting? How is this possible?"
When the game had not started, almost all jazz fans on the scene were extremely worried. No way, Stockton and Malone are the team's symbol of the past ten years, the two are in conflict? This is a problem that they have never thought about before, even if they believe that the end of the world will not believe that the two will go wrong.
Therefore, in this case, when the Magic played as an away team, the Magic fans who had been thinking about the two head players of the team did not even give boos to the Magic. It seems that the Jazz fans on the scene played when the Magic played , Or even directly ignored, this time their eyes are all on the team's appearance order.
And when this game as the starting center Pollinis played first. When the second starting player, small forward Elliott also played, at this time almost all jazz players are subconsciously tight. If the next appearance is not Lin Han, then it proves that Malone may still not play this game, and the next appearance is Lin Han, then Malone will definitely play.
Didn't make these nervous jazz fans wait more, when Elliott appeared, Lin Han also followed out, after a short moment of stunned jazz fans on the scene, almost immediately the whole pot exploded, that crazy Lin's cheers almost surprised Lin Han. Although Jazz fans are usually very enthusiastic, it is definitely not the case.
obviously. At this time, the cheers of these jazz fans are definitely not only for Lin Han, but also include Malone. So this time the Delta Center suddenly fell into madness.
"It seems that the Jazz starter in this game is no problem"
When Lin Han played in the penultimate third, Collins on the sidelines also smiled and secretly sighed in his heart. If Malone is not playing in this game, then the Jazz will have a problem this season. From the present point of view, although the Jazz must have a problem internally, this problem has not yet reached a point where it is completely indivisible.
"However, I don't know what tactics the Jazz will play in this game."
Later, when Stockton and Malone played successively in the cheers of jazz fans, the jazz fans at the scene of the game were also relieved, but for the two commentators on the sidelines, when Malone was in this game Returning to the court, the key for the Jazz to play.
Jazz spent most of the season with the team’s running tactics with Lin Han, running hustle is the keynote, Malone and Stockton’s pick-and-roll is the basis of the team, and Lin Han is an offensive free man. This tactic allowed the Jazz to achieve The 37-game winning streak has made this team the strongest offensive team in the league. Both the individual and the team have a good balance. However, after this tactic reached the later stage, after Lin Han’s strength became stronger, the proportion of the team was Personal compression is a lot, this is a huge problem.
The other tactic is the giant tactics played by the Jazz some time ago. Others on the offensive end watched. Malone and Lin Han used their talents and technical strength to throw casually and play casually. A team with multiple tactical abilities that doesn't have much talent is almost directly crushing the past. This style of play is very simple and rude.
And the last tactic is probably the most helpless tactic of the Jazz. It is to directly surround Malone and Lin Han around Stockton and let Stockton completely suppress the personal attacks of these two people. This extreme The team's play style lacks sharpness. Everyone can see that this tactic is definitely not the tactic that the Jazz wants to play, but it is because the team has a problem and has to use strong medicine to play.
How to determine the current situation of the Jazz depends on what tactic this team plays. The Jazz continue to play the third. Then this team's infighting is still the same, neither Stockton nor Jerry Sloan have compromised, but played the first two. Then the representative faced the situation after Stockton and Jerry Sloan compromised, and the Jazz infighting barely ended.
And when the two narrators of the game Collins and Larry Bird are waiting for the game how the Jazz should play. They didn't let the two wait for a long time. Soon the Jazz on the court gave the answer. When Malone was still unwilling to pick and play with Stockton on the court, Stockton was also unwilling to give the ball to his thoughts. When Lin Han and Malone want to play singles, this situation is already obvious.
Although the Jazz played in this game, Malone played, but the team's problems remained. Stockton was still forcibly controlling the team, and Malone was a bit arrogant on the court. Although he did not have much enthusiasm on the court, as for Lin Han, after the opening, he forced two goals and found Stockton would not pass even if he died. Lin Han threw all the luck in his heart. Honestly go to play without the ball.
When I saw this scene, whether it was Larry Bird or Collins or the jazz fans on the sidelines, it was just a sigh, but this time the magic coach on the sideline Brian Hill was a little excited at this time.
"We won this game!"
Although Stockton's strength is strong, this season seems to have washed out his reputation as a data brush. But without Malone and his pick-and-roll cooperation, what would he use against O'Neill?
Is it because of the enthusiasm of Elliott and Polynes? Elliott, although outstanding in these two games, is also an All-Star player. Because the number of shots increased, the offensive participation increased, and the confidence and status that had been destroyed for a long time in the Pistons also returned, but can Elliott replace Malone's tactical status? Naturally impossible, now all they need to do is to block Lin Han. The reason why the Hornets blocked Lin Han, but the team lost, it is because their inside is Moning, not O’Neal, Moning and Larry Johnson faced defensive insiders Pollinis and Pj Brown. The offense is not so smooth, but O'Neal is different.
Especially after watching this game start. O'Neill almost directly crushed Pollinis and continued to complete the offensive, forcing Malone to come up early to attack. The Magic head coach knew that his team had won the game.
"The current state of the game is very dangerous for Jazz. Malone can't be any more arrogant. He needs to interact with Stockton or the Jazz will lose in this game!"
When the game started, O'Neal's crazy offense, the jazz that fell into the downside as soon as he came up, annoyed Collins on the sidelines. How could he win the game if Malone did not contribute to a team like the Magic? It's just that no one can pass Malone except Stockton.
"It would be nice if Lin Han had the ability to hold the ball"
At this time, Larry Bird also sighed after Collins complained. Lin Han’s pass was good, but he didn’t know where to pass, when to pass, and when not to pass. 20 seconds. After attracting defense, a cross without any technical content is his only organizational skill.
It's just that this cross pass seems to have little effect on the inside.
In this game, the Magic team's layout of Lin Han is actually very sufficient. As the core of the team's outer line, Hardaway's task in this game is to stick to Lin Han. Lin Han can't force this game when there is no chance. It’s hard to defend Hardaway’s defense. After all, Lin Han has been moving. There is not much physical confrontation between him and Lin Han. If it’s just more than speed and movement, Hardaway is not. Think he is much worse than Lin Han.
In this case, when Lin Han ran out of chance a little, Hardaway was able to post it quickly. At this time, Lin Han wanted to play singles, and because of time, it was difficult to really fully exert his strength.
This is why although Lin Han can also play singles after receiving the ball without a running position, but there are few reasons for singles. There is not enough time and no way to exert force. Unlike Lin Han’s crazy demand for the ball before, the ball has the least rights 15 seconds for Lin Han to play casually.
Of course, though, Lin Han may not have many singles in this game. But as the most deadly point of magic, when Lin Han holds the ball, even if there is only five or six seconds left. Almost all other Magic players will move closer to Lin Han. This is to prevent Lin Han from forcing breakthroughs and forcing singles.
And when the game was played for 2 minutes. For the first time in this game, Lin Han received a pass from Stockton at the top of the arc on the free throw line. With seven seconds left, Lin Han hardly had any hesitation. After receiving the ball, he directly went to Hardaway leaned up, and it seemed that he was about to force a breakthrough. After all, Hardaway was taller than Lin Han. After Lin Han chose to receive the ball, the decision to force Hardaway and then shoot again couldn't be wrong. Just like in the previous All-Star rookie game, if you don’t rely on Hardaway, and there is always a magical defense player next to you, although the starting power forward of the Magic this game, Turner is far less powerful than Weber. , But this is also a hassle.
So when Lin Han was about to rely on Hardaway, almost all of the Magic’s defenses were moving, ready to help Hardaway. In this case, when Lin Han stepped away from Hardaway, after a little When the forceful back turns and jumps under the shot space. Hardaway, who had been posted again at this time, and Turner, who had already assisted, had all jumped up with Lin Han to block Lin Han's shot.
"This time, I will never let you succeed!"
When thinking of his joint with Webber in the All-Star rookie game, he was defeated by Lin Han's crazy shot. At this time, Hardaway jumping in the air almost exhausted his full strength. I have to say that Hardaway's physical fitness is indeed excellent. When he and Turner jumped in front of Lin Han, there was indeed a deterrent. Of course, if Lin Han's reluctant two shots are also possible, Kobe-style The most fearful thing about turning around and leaning back is this kind of bag.
What made Hardaway and Turner flying in the air very surprised was that he had already prepared to shoot, he had completed his posture in the air, and even Lin Han, who was already in the air, faced the defense of the two. At the moment when you are ready to shoot, turn your hands directly. It was originally a shot, directly under the eyes of Hardaway and Turner. This shot turned into a pass!
Lin Han jumped the pass this time! And the goal of the pass is Malone, Turner's defense!
Lin Han actually passed the ball at this time? !
When this amazing scene happened, let alone Hardaway and Turner on the court, even Jerry Sloan on the court and Stockton on the court were also ignorant, and even this time both of them were unconscious Forget Lin Han this is a very dangerous jump pass.
"Lin Han actually passed the ball? This, how is this possible?"
When Magic coach Brian Hill stood up from his seat in disbelief, he subconsciously looked in the direction of the ball's flight until he saw that the Jazz power forward Malone had turned his back to Lin Han. When going to grab a rebound, this time the Magic coach Brian Hill was relieved. No one likes this kind of things that are not under his control. Now, although things are beyond expectations, But it can still be controlled.
"Jeri Sloan didn't tell him that he couldn't jump the ball on the court?"
Brian Hill, who was originally amazed, looked at Malone with his back to the pass and Lin Han still flying in the air, thinking with a smile on his face.
At this time, the Magic coach Brian Hill smiled, and the jazz fans on the sidelines saw Lin Han’s pass directly after the stunned god, almost covered his hands in his face, because the next picture will be very Tragically, they all dare not look at it.
If Ma Long, who is very upset now, is really hit by Lin Han, who knows what will happen.
"Oops, the Jazz made a mistake. Lin Han's pass was really bad. It was so fast and sudden that Malone could not receive it!"
When Collins, like everyone on the scene, was speechless for the pass of Lin Han, a very strange scene occurred on the court at this time. It was originally thought that this quick and fast pass of Lin Han would directly hit Ma Long. On the back of the horse, at this moment, Malone, who had jumped back to the rim at Lin Han and then grabbed the rebound, suddenly hit the back of the basketball when he hit him, Malone suddenly turned his head and straightened out. Lin Han's jump pass was received in his right hand.
And after Malone received this pass from Lin Han, O'Neal, who was originally going to grab rebounds with Malone, even forgot his card position at this time, in fact, he couldn't get a card position. When an inside line received the ball under the basket, basically There is no way to defend. Moreover, such an inside is still Malone, so when Malone directly received the ball and scored his first two points in a dunk, the whole game was in awe.
Whether it is a fan on the spot, two coaches on the side of the court or two players on the court, all of them are stunned at this time~EbookFREE.me~ A super bad jump pass that was considered to be a mistake actually changed Become a super assist that can enter the top ten?
When this happened, even Collins, who was just very angry and speechless on the sidelines, was stunned at this time. He didn't know what to say for a while, and this time Larry Bird beside Collins was in Linhan and Malone. After the cooperation, after a little stunned, he shook his head and smiled bitterly.
This kind of pass is really speechless, either a mistake or a brilliant one.
"Boy, you hit me with again!"
When Malone finished the dunk and came down from the rim, he didn't care about O'Neill's startled gaze, but turned back and directly extended a thumb to Lin Han.
And at this time, while others were still looking at Lin Han and Malone inconceivably, the Delta Center went crazy when Ma Long gave Lin Han his thumbs up.
While looking at Stockton and Jerry Sloan of Malone and Lin Han on the side, his face was very complicated at this time. (To be continued) ()
