Vol 2 Chapter 219: Lin, thank you!

(Ball Moon Ticket, Ball Subscription!!!)
In the first half of the game between the Jazz and the Magic, the two teams can be said to have played a very sudden change. Originally, because of the infighting of the Jazz, the magic that started the game will eventually become a backward, and because of the infighting team. The connection between the big cores and the tactical style of play changed very much. The Jazz team will eventually eventually change the team because of the change that Lin Han learned to pass to the inside.
In this case, after the game was originally for victory, the Magic team not only fell behind in the score, but also watched the situation continue, this is the rhythm of losing!
If under normal circumstances, the Magic with a record of 41 wins and 25 losses so far has lost to the 58-8 Jazz. In fact, this is not a shame. After all, this team has been difficult to play regardless of the victory and defeat of the Jazz. The current position of the Jazz this season is the league's first, and the Magic is only the fourth in the East. In this case, the Magic is back-to-back or away, losing "no> wrong" and losing.
But this is a normal situation, the magic can allow the loss to appear, but, is this game normal? Of course not. The Jazz are now like this, because Malone refuses to cooperate with Stockton, resulting in the team’s strongest weapon for the Magic, and the pick-and-roll cooperation between the double brakes is gone. The Jazz can be said to be self Half of the martial arts were abolished, and in this case, they also lost to the Jazz. How does this make the Magic mix?
You know, this team doesn't look young, whether it's coach Brian Hill or the team's boss O'Neal or leader Hardaway, these people's spirits are not low. Although Jordan left this season, many people are optimistic about the Rockets and Jazz. I am optimistic that the Knicks or the Suns will win this year's championship, but these people of the Magic are not without pursuit, on the contrary, this team has not only pursued but also pursued a lot!
So, when the game ended at halftime, the Magic players returned to the locker room, almost all were silent. Whether it is the team's head coach or the team's boss O'Neal or the team's super rookie Hardaway, these people are silent.
Now the problems encountered by this team are simple and indeed simple, and complex and complicated. After Lin Han, the best offensive player in the league, can pass to Malone and connect with Malone, the question left to the Magic is how to block both Lin Han's offense and pinch Lin Han's pass. ball.
According to Lin Han's passing method, Lin Han is not Stockton. Stockton is stronger in passing ability. But even for a pass-through pass like Stockton, the Magic has nothing to fear, because Stockton doesn’t have much offensive ability, and the Magic doesn’t need to wrap him, as long as it is between Stockton and Malone. Full of players, Stockton's ability to pass no matter how strong, dare not always pass such a pass, after all, this kind of pass because there are many players on the way. It is very easy to make mistakes.
Therefore, Stockton's one-handed long throw pass is very exciting. It was one of the important cooperation and play styles of the Jazz before, but Stockton basically did not need it after Lin Han came to the team, because such a pass is too dangerous, and instead of passing this ball to the inside Malone It might as well be a cross to hand the ball to Lin Han, Lin Han and Malone are actually not far apart in terms of attack power, even if the two have an inside attack and an outside attack there is a difference in the hit rate, but considering the turnover rate , This pass was still sealed by Stockton.
But the difference between Lin Han and Stockton is that he can attract the team. The two insiders of the team, O’Neal and Turner, must have one person to help out. If the Magic have a super defense like Camp Inside, Brian Hill didn't worry about it at all, because Camp was definitely able to run back and intercept Lin Lin's pass to Malone after the defense went out. Camp's sport was enough to do this, But the key point is that Turner does not have this ability. He is just a role player. He can only do one thing, either to trap Lin Han or stare at Malone. These two things cannot be done at the same time. .
In this case, for the Magic, dealing with Lin Han's play is actually very simple, as long as there is a super-assist insider like Camp, it is also difficult to deal with Lin Han's play. , Because their team does not have such a player, unless O'Neal is taken out of the inside to help defend Lin Lin, O'Neal's assist defense is not top, but it is much stronger than Turner, but the key is that O'Neal is absolutely unwilling If this flexible fat man likes to go outside to help defense, he will not be hit by the pick-and-roll of Malone and Stockton.
And after O'Neill left the basket, the Magic had to kneel even if Lin Han didn't pass the ball.
So at this time for the Magic coach Brian Hill, the current problem is very difficult, and I don’t know what to do. At last, after the Magic everyone was silent for a while, the Magic coach also looked at Hardaway, the team's super rookie.
"Perry, if you let Lin Han stand alone in the second half, how sure are you?"
When Brian Hill looked at Hardaway after speaking, other Magic players also looked at Hardaway at this time. If Hardaway can pinch Lin Han on the defensive end one by one, then these problems will also be Solved, Turner can also concentrate on defending Malone. You can cut the connection between Malone and Lin Han.
But almost all Magic players know that Hardaway is comprehensive, but his strongest is his help on the offensive end. If you let him put all his energy on the defensive end, the Jazz's offense will definitely drop by a grade. After all, O'Neal is powerful, but now the Jazz's inside is not in the past. Pollinis was miserable by O'Neal in this game, but the Haitian monster has not collapsed, and Malone has been preparing on the defensive end. In the case of O'Neal, in this case, if Hardaway sacrificed his offense to defend Lin Han, the Jazz against O'Neal in this game, then the magic will really kneel.
And, more critically. Even if Hardaway really went to Lin Lin alone, the key is whether he can live alone, which is also a problem.
It's just that this time the Magic team is up and down. This is a matter of no way, change may still lose, but if you do not change, I am sure you will lose. I have to say that although the Magic’s lineup is still very strong this season, there is another loophole in the team. The striker position lacks strength and O'Neal lacks a thug. This is also the reason why O'Neal was quickly broken by Malone and Lin Han in this game.
In the face of the highly anticipated look of the team coach, Hardaway, who has always been cold, did not speak, but only silenced for a while in the eyes of everyone. Nodded.
"I will do my best"
After Hardaway said coldly, both Brian Hill and team power forward Turner sighed in relief. Hardaway was willing to do his best, which was enough.
of course. During the halftime break. The Magic team’s atmosphere is very dignified, and the Jazz locker room not far away is actually not much different. When the Malone and Lin Han both showed their power in the first half of the game, the Jazz players could feel it. The team's situation may be a bit bad.
After all, as long as it's not a fool, the team knows that the team's head coach Jerry Sloan and the team's head guard Stockton are beating Malone or Lin Han, and now, this game Lin Han and Malone are throwing away In the case of Stockton, it's a joint effort. Isn't that the face of Hongguo's coach Jerry Sloan?
Jerry Sloan is coming hard against Malone. I hope Malone can wake up, and now Lin Han is better. Directly in the first half, he shared the match with Malone through the ball rights he got from Stockton.
And even more speechless, this game has progressed over time. Stockton has even relaxed the requirements for Lin Han’s possession. Even if Lin Han has no chance, the team’s shooting guard will ask for the ball. Stockton's approach is also contrary to the layout of Jerry Sloan's game.
With Jerry Sloan's character, it was strange that his mood could be better at this time.
So although the Jazz entered the locker room with a leading score at this time, everyone was almost silent. Even Lin Han and Malone, the two players who played very well in the first half, did not speak at this time.
According to the character of Lin Han and Malone, if the team's head coach was Jerry Sloan, the two men had already chattered, and even embarrassed the team's head coach.
In this respect, although the Jazz was indeed in conflict before, the team has never been out of control. Although Malone has been out of control for a short time, he has always adhered to the bottom line. At least today's game Jerry Sloan will He arranged for a starter, and he did not resist.
Of course, in Malone’s mind, Jerry Sloan still has some status. Stockton naturally has no need to say that until the last moment Malone has been keeping the bottom line, and Lin Han is about the same, although he always wants to help Malone, think To prove that they have no problems with Malone's basketball, but Lin Han did not recklessly stand on the side of Malone when he was training with Jerry Sloan or Stockton. This is also Lin Lin's bottom line.
Therefore, the performance of the Jazz Lin Han and Malone in the first half of this game embarrassed Sloan. It was really embarrassing. Sloan meant that the two were singles, and the team only had one player. Enough is enough, but now the two players who played alone in the team actually played team basketball, how can this not embarrass him, if Lin Han had such ability before, how could he possibly directly contact Malone or Lin Han hardly came, and he has already begun to design new tactics to exert the maximum power of the three cores of the team. Although Jerry Sloan is not his specialty in designing tactics, at least he will not risk the team falling apart. Dangerously forcibly reverse Malone.
Therefore, this time is not the same as the Magic. Although the Jazz's locker room has the same atmosphere, everyone still maintains a balance. Now everyone is waiting for what Jerry Sloan will do next.
Lin Han and Malone are now connected. At least the two of them are not singles. Can Jerry Sloan pull the ball to lift the ball blockade against Malone and Lin Han? Although Stockton had already made his own claim to unlock Lin Han in the first half.
Although Malone certainly hopes to get an apology from Sloan, Malone also knows that this is not possible, but he has been so wronged recently, even if there is no apology. At the very least, an explanation is required.
Stockton is also waiting for Jerry Sloan's choice. Although he lifted Lin Han's ball blockade in the first half, he has not lifted Malone. Because Stockton didn't know what Jerry Sloan's thoughts were, whether he continued to forcibly block Malone in the team and allow Malone to reverse his recent style of play. Stockton is a very smart Player, if he lifted Malone's blockade in the first half, Jerry Sloan would definitely feel that the three heads of the team are pressing and confronting him, which is absolutely impossible for the stubborn Sloan tolerate.
Stockton finally gave Sloan a face. Even if the Jazz point guard is still at the expense of hurting his base friends, it must be said that Stockton is not the Jazz's strongest player in terms of strength. But he is absolutely qualified as the leader of the team. If you change to a normal person, I am afraid that you will lose control of the team long ago.
The Jazz's locker room was silent, although Malone had always looked calm. But the look of the Jazz's head player has always been erratic. It kept floating on Jerry Sloan and Stockton, the meaning was already obvious.
After a short period of silence, as the team's head coach, Jerry Sloan, who has been standing there, finally broke the silence.
"Our performance was excellent in the first half, Carl and Lin's cooperation was very exciting, we need more cooperation in the second half, all players need more contact"
After saying this, Jerry Sloan didn't wait for the response of his players. Instead, he took the lead and left the locker room as the assistant of Jerry Sloan. May Johnson was a little stunned and quickly followed with a smile.
When May Johnson and Jerry Sloan left the team's locker room, after a brief silence, Malone, Lin Han and other jazz players jumped directly from their seats and then cheered.
Especially Malone and Lin Han, the two Jazz players are almost directly hugged together, although Jerry Sloan did not apologize, and did not directly admit their mistakes, but the meaning of this sentence has been very very obvious in telling Malone The things he had done before were under-considered. Being able to say such words is already very rare in terms of Jerry Sloan's character, so this has been very satisfying to Malone.
Of course, for other jazz players, after the problem between the team's head coach and the big player is resolved, they finally don't have to be a man between the two sides. In NBA, no role player is willing to play on a conflicting team. .
Maybe they know that after the reconciliation between Malone and Jerry Sloan today, they may be deprived of their ball rights a lot, but this repression outside the court makes them more uncomfortable than the helplessness on the court, so Elliott is in After Jerry Sloan said that, he nodded with a helpless smile.
"Karl, Lin, you did well"
After the Jazz players celebrated briefly, Stockton, who had been silently smiling, suddenly walked to Lin Han and Malone who hugged him, and gave a thumbs up to some surprised Lin Han and Malone, and At this time, Lin Han Malone was also stunned. Lin Han was okay. Although what Stockton did to him made Lin Han a bit uncomfortable on the court, he did not hurt much emotionally. The key is Malone. Stockton was his closest teammate and comrade-in-arms. Although it was for the team, Stockton's previous approach undoubtedly made the childish Malone very uncomfortable, otherwise he would not make it on the court. That kind of thing that elbows your opponent for no reason.
For Malone, most of his previous emotional out-of-control was probably not because he couldn't catch the ball on the court, but he didn't think Stockton would betray him.
So when Stockton said something apologetically, everyone was waiting for Malone to express his attitude, and when the Jazz players saw Malone silence for a moment, his face counted several times, it was also like Stockton with his right hand extended When reaching out his right hand, the Jazz's locker room was again jubilant.
Of course, at this time, the Jazz's locker room was in a state of joy, and Jerry Sloan, who had left the locker room before, had been standing outside with his assistant Phil Johnson, although the soundproofing effect of the locker room was good, but It was impossible for Jerry Sloan to know so much.
"Jerry, it seems that these boys are now rejuvenated"
After listening to the movements inside, Mayfair Johnson smiled and said to his old partner, and Mayfair Johnson finished speaking. There was another silence in Jerry Sloan.
"Mayfair, did you say I did something wrong before?".
After a brief silence, Jerry Sloan murmured in a trance. Upon hearing Jerry Sloan say this, Mayfair Johnson on the side shook his head.
"Jerry, you're not wrong, it's just that Lin's growth is too fast. His growth rate has exceeded all of us' expectations and control. We just underestimated our own players."
After May Johnson finished speaking, Jerry Sloan, who was a little depressed, was also bright in the eyes. Although he is a stubborn person, the stubborn person has never been a fool.
"Yeah, we really underestimated our players. They are better than we thought."
When thinking of this, Jerry Sloan and Mayfair Johnson both laughed after looking at each other.
"The Magic faced some difficulties in the first half of the game, but from the current point of view, the problems on the Jazz side are still not resolved. Although the Jazz has slowly gained the upper hand. But the Magic still play some games, but now One of the biggest problems with the Magic is that they just played a tough game with the Warriors yesterday. I don’t know if they can have the physical strength to the end."
When the two teams returned to the court after the half-time break, Collins on the sideline was also a little pondering.
The two teams played very fiercely in this game. It can be said that the fierceness completely exceeded the expectations of many people. According to the view of many people on this game before the game. If the Jazz have no infighting, the magic of fighting back-to-back away is only for being beaten. Similarly, if the Jazz is infighting, after losing the Malone and Stockton pick-and-roll, the Magic are likely to finish the Jazz in the infighting.
Therefore, no matter how you look at it, it is difficult to score too intense in this game. After all, the Jazz can really restrain the magic under ordinary conditions. Even the Magic’s coach Brian Hill agrees with this view. He Before the game, I hope that my team can make a quick decision. After all, the continuous Western away game really makes this team's physical strength problematic, especially yesterday it also played a lore and a lore with the Warriors. In the fierce game, even O'Neal was sent off in the end.
However, the two teams have reached the current level, and there is basically no retreat now. They will definitely strive for the victory of this game. Even if the Magic team really encounters physical problems, I am afraid they will stick their teeth and stick to it.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, the second half of this game should also be a very intense game. As a narrator of this game, he naturally hopes to do so for the sake of ratings.
"Huh, the expression on the faces of the Jazz players is not right."
Just as Collins looked forward to how exciting this game would be next, when Larry Bird on the side saw the Jazz players walking towards the court again, they suddenly felt something was wrong, and the emotions and sidelines of these players were on the bench. The mood of the jazz players sitting on the table was a bit wrong.
And after Larry Bird finished, Collins also felt something different.
"It seems that something should happen to the Jazz in the locker room, but I don't know if these things are a good thing or a bad thing."
After a little stunned, Larry Bird said with a smile, and this time the second half of the game also began, because O’Neal jumped the ball in the first quarter, so the first attack rights in the first and fourth quarters belong to The Magic, and the first attack in the second and third quarters belong to the Jazz.
So after the third quarter began, the Jazz first attacked.
As the team's point guard, Stockton, after receiving the line ball, is almost as usual, without any change, and pushing the ball to the frontcourt at a very suitable speed, if only that, Then no one will feel wrong on the scene. According to the first half of the Jazz, Lin Han should start running around the bottom line, and other jazz players are constantly starting to cover Lin Han’s running position around the court. The ball from Stockton was transmitted.
It’s just that almost everyone on the scene was in an uproar. When Jerry Sloan recommended the ball to the top of the arc, there was little movement in the first half. Malone directly thrown away the Magic’s defensive player Turner and Stoke. Dunton made a pick-and-roll, and when Turner posted it after a brief surprise, the pick-and-roll of Malone and Stockton was completed. Stockton has also sent the basketball in his hand to Malone's hand with a very gorgeous back pass. At this time, Malone has pulled to the left of the free throw line and moved to the next step. Malone did not hesitate after receiving the ball. , Directly hit a mid-range jumper.
And when Malone scored the pick-and-roll very normally. When the entire Jazz team returned to the defense with a smile, all the Magic players on the court were stunned. Even the side coach of the Magic team Brian Hill trembling in shock.
Did the Jazz play a pick and roll? ! Malone and Stockton started to cooperate? !
When the Magic players on the field and Brian Hill on the sidelines found such a problem, they were almost all ignorant. They had a lot of ideas for the second half during the halftime break, but they never thought about the Jazz. Malone and Stockton will work together again!
Even when the jazz fans on the scene lost their mind briefly, they instantly brought cheers to the top. When the names of Stockton and Malone were chanted in the audience, even Larry Bird and Collins on the sidelines were still a bit incredible.
"Larry, it seems that a lot of things happened to the Jazz just in the locker room."
This time Collins shook his head bitterly after looking at Larry Bird.
Because they both know. After the pick-and-roll tactics against Stockton and Malone, the Magic's biggest killer, the Magic had little hope of winning in this game, especially when Lin Han was still standing on this side.
So at this time, the Magic's super rookie Hardaway and the team's boss O'Neill were biting their teeth after recovering, although the game did not end. But his face was full of unwillingness.
And when the game started in the second half. As expected by many people, the Magic quickly fell to the disadvantage. The Jazz even directly controlled the general trend of this game. Although the Jazz still can't withstand O'Neal, O'Neal's attack can't be stopped by himself. The Jazz, especially when Malone said he had a great hand feeling after the second half.
And what people did not expect is that the Magic may be worse than everyone expected after the second half.
Because after the cooperation of Stockton and Malone, even one-on-one defense against Lin Han. But Lin Han is still able to complete the kind of passing pass to Malone's back, although the difficulty of passing the ball has increased a lot. There is no longer anyone watching between Lin Han and Malone, but as a player who defends Malone, Turner faced Lin Han’s almost unpredictable pass, there is almost no way, although it is said that because of the increased pass The difficulty, the speed and angle of this pass become faster and more difficult to receive, and the turnover rate also rises quickly.
But obviously, as far as this game is concerned, when both Lin Han and Stockton are looking for Malone and pass the ball for this team, such a turnover rate can almost be ignored, no one will care about Lin John made several mistakes for this kind of pass, because every time Lin Han passed this kind of ball, the morale of the Jazz players and live jazz fans would be shocked. After all, this way of passing is more than that of Stockton. The relatively simple pick-and-roll pass is more exciting.
So, after the start of the second half of the game, facing the constant interaction between Lin Han and Malone and Starks, the Magic almost had a feeling of collapse.
"Pretty, it's really pretty. Although the cooperation between Lin Han and Stockton and Malone is still a bit rusty, Lin Han has a big problem in the choice of position in the offense. He often runs on tactics. It will make mistakes, but when these three people are constantly trying to find each other, the magic of the inside defense is extremely weak and it is about to collapse!"
The Magic collapsed, and almost everyone could see it, especially when the Jazz trio kept looking for each other in the second half, especially when Lin Han and Stockton were both playing for Malone. O'Neill is a nightmare for the Magic inside.
At the end of the game, when the scoreboard on the side showed a score of 98 to 116, the entire second half of the Magic completely lost themselves in the rhythm of the Jazz. It was only three points behind. The Magic actually lost 18 points directly after the game!
When the game ended, even the Magic's on-court player, O'Neal, who was always very outgoing, could hardly see the slightest smile on the face of the blow, and the Magic's head coach on the sidelines, the team's future The extremely optimistic Brian Hill was completely stunned and completely at a loss.
This is the case with O'Neill and Hill. Naturally, other Magic players are not much better. Even when the game whistle sounds, some Magic players even feel relieved.
"The Magic are still too young now. It is easy to crash when they have problems. Although they have two super young men, O'Neal and Hardaway, they still need to grow. At least they need to grow relative to the Jazz."
When the game was over, looking at other magic players such as O'Neal and Hardaway who almost lost their colors on the field, Larry Bird also sighed and said that besides Lin Han, he is the two youngest players he is most optimistic about. It is O'Neill and Hardaway. These two people are likely to create an era, but this era is definitely not the present.
Because this era still belongs to the Rockets, Bulls or Jazz and other teams!
When Larry Bird looked at the jazz player celebrating on the court and the young jazz number eight, he thought secretly in his heart.
Of course, at this time, the Jazz players naturally did not think that Larry Bird would have such a comment on them. After winning this game, these jazz players are now very excited and can defeat the defeat in this situation. Magic is indeed very rare, and many of the team's contradictions are now resolved.
"Lin, thank you!"
Therefore, after the game ended, Malone, who scored 46 points and scored 46 points in the game, scored 46 points. After receiving a live TV interview, under the eyes of all fans and players on the scene, this jazz player Lin Han was given a big hug directly.
When Lin Han was stunned, the jazz fans and jazz players on the side had already applauded.
"Karl, I should thank you for being right. If it were not for you, I wouldn't be able to get three pairs"
In the moment he was hugged by Malone, Lin Han, who was momentarily distracted, reacted quickly. After pushing Malone away, he smiled and said after Malone's chest was hammered hard.
Malone's performance in this game is very good, but Lin Han's performance is also not bad, although the score can not be compared to Malone, but this game Lin Han played his first career double-double.
Lin Han scored 31 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds in 13 of 21 games. EbookFREE.me Brush assists to pass to Malone.
"Despite this, I still want to thank you"
Although Lin Han was happy after the joke, Ma Long still looked at Lin Han seriously, which made Lin Han smile and shook his head.
"Okay, don't thank each other anymore"
Looking at Lin Han and Malone at this time, Stockton on the side directly pushed the two away, and then hugged Lin Han and walked directly off the court with the other players of the Jazz.
It was just after Lin Han was taken off the court by Stockton, and after Stockton released Lin Han, Stockton's soft whisper made Lin Han froze again.
Thank you, Lin
After saying this, Stockton looked at the stunned Lin Han with a smile and turned to leave, and at this time Lin Han looked at Stockton's back with a somewhat complicated mood. (To be continued...) ()
