Vol 2 Chapter 227: Harvest season

(The season inventory is too difficult to write, this chapter is updated late, sorry)
"This feeling is really great, it's really incredible"
"Even now, although we have done this step, there are still some unbelievable feelings, it feels like all this is in a dream"
When the Jazz ended their away trip to Los Angeles and returned to Utah with a 72-10 record, when the Jazz players came out of the airport, they looked at the thousands of people in the square outside the airport. Fans in jazz jerseys holding various placards were all excited for a time. Although it was said that the team had just celebrated the team’s record break in the league not long ago, when they finished the regular season this season was the best one. When the game returns again, it is still incredible to be able to accept the continued madness of the fans.
Especially as the two biggest sinners of the team's defeat last season, Malone and Stockton, when the head players of these two teams came out from several games to see such a scene, the expression on their faces was not only excited. , The body even shivered.
"Okay, don't sigh, don't forget, this is just the beginning, if we fail in the playoffs, I am afraid the pressure will be greater."
Lin Han looked at the players of the two teams around him and said with a smile, to be honest, as a newcomer to the team, Lin Han never felt the pressure of Malone and Stockton last season, For him, he did not have so much emotion and melancholy, nor did he feel so sad. For Lin Han, this year's regular season is almost perfect, so he is absolutely difficult to understand Stockton and Malone's feelings at this time. I really can't understand it.
"Lin is right. Although our performance in the regular season has been perfect this year, it is just another start of the season. We have not reached the end. This year we absolutely cannot tolerate the fiasco like last year."
"Yes, we absolutely cannot tolerate the fiasco like last year. We have only one goal this year. That is the championship."
After Malone finished speaking at Stockton and Lin Han and shouted the slogan of the championship, both Lin Han and Stockton were a bit stunned. However, after being a little stunned, the two Jazz players quickly woke up, and looking at the increasingly crazy jazz fans in the square, Lin Han and Stockton seemed to understand why Malone this time. Time to shout such slogans.
"Karl. As long as you old guy don't drag my hind legs. We will definitely be able to win the final championship"
Finally, Lin Han looked at Ma Long, who rarely showed such a serious expression, and also joked. However, after Lin Han finished speaking, he didn’t wait for Lin Han to board the team’s bus. Lin Han found that the hair on the back of his head was People caught.
"Boy, what is the old guy? I'm only 30 years old this year. Tell you, I can fight for at least another ten years. It's you who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the last one."
"Asshole. You're defending, I'm about to let go of my hair. If I were bald by you, I wouldn't kill you"
Lin Han and Malone, two players with similar "characters", have always been a scenery of the Jazz. For these two slapsticks at this time, these jazz players are basically accustomed to it, so looking at Lin Han and Malone After playing again, whether it was Stockton or other jazz players shook their heads helplessly, they all laughed.
"Jerry, it looks like the team is in really good condition now."
At this time, the players of the Jazz are very emotional, the atmosphere inside the team is very good, and in the upcoming playoffs, Jazz assistant coach Phil Johnson, who is always paying close attention to the situation of the team players, also said with a smile Compared with Jerry Sloan’s seriousness and even stereotypes, this Jerry Sloan’s fellow brother is another character, so compared with Jerry Sloan, the head coach who gives the Jazz players a lot of pressure on the team , Mayfair Johnson is more popular with team players.
But after Mayfair Johnson finished speaking, Jerry Sloan's face was not as happy as Mayfair Johnson at this time. The head coach of the Jazz was still very serious at this time, especially looking at Lin Han who was making troubles. The two head coaches of the Jazz have never been able to unravel their eyebrows.
Since failing to deal with the problems of Malone and Lin Han last month, Jerry Sloan has given up his control of the two players on the court. It can be said that Jerry Sloan, who has always wanted to be extremely strong, has suppressed himself very unexpectedly. Desire to control the team, the head coach of the Jazz started to let Lin Han and Malone pursue their instinct to play on the court after last month.
The talents of the two Jazz's head players are indeed extremely junior high. With their personal abilities, especially after the Lin Han learned to pass to Malone, the two players' superstars played even higher. This is One very exciting thing, at least the team's assistant coach Phil Johnson is very happy, but Jerry Sloan is not happy.
When he loses control of the team’s tactics, he lacks an instinctive sense of security. This is not a strange thing. For people with strong desire to control, when they lose control of things, they will lack. A sense of security, and now Jerry Sloan is like that.
Even if the Jazz led by Lin Han and Malone won the best record in the league regular season, Jerry Sloan still has no way to be completely at ease. This jazz's current style of play is not his ideal jazz. Not his ideal team, especially the team that worries him the most is not the problem of play, but this team lacks an alternative solution to the problem because of the lack of Absolute control, if this team can continue to play smoothly until the finals to win the championship, this is fine, but if this team encounters some problems in the process, Jerry Sloan does not know what to do. , And this is why he is very uneasy now.
When the team now plays after the playoffs. He wanted to forcefully change the team's style of play. It was impossible, and after the last transformation failed, it is now even more impossible.
So this time after Mayfair Johnson said with a smile. Jerry Sloan sighed slightly.
"I hope everything goes well"
I hope everything goes well, this is the only thing Jerry Sloan can do now, and after Jerry Sloan finished speaking, Mayfair Johnson, who was in a good mood, also frowned, even though he knew his own The mood of a good friend has not been very stable, and sometimes even doubted his coaching ability. Originally, Phil Johnson thought that the team's first record in history would make Jerry Sloan confident. But now it seems that the head coach of the Jazz has not been able to get out of the blow of the previous period. This season's overwhelming George Karl is known as the league's first Mesozoic first coach Jerry Sloan. The current situation does make Mayfair Johnson Some worry.
Jerry Sloan looked forward to the Jazz's success at this time. In terms of the team's record in the Western Conference, their opponent in the first round of the playoffs is the Eighth Trail Blazers in the Western Conference.
After this team traded Drexler, it means that the team has entered the stage of reconstruction. In this case, it is impossible for this team to cause too much difficulty for the Jazz. . After all, this team entered the playoffs with a 35-47 record this season. Not because of their strength in the playoffs, but before the transaction of Drexler, the Trail Blazers have a good record and laid a good foundation, so that they can still guarantee how bad they will be in the second half. A playoff position.
If the first half of this team's record is removed, only the record after Drexler is traded, this team is not as good as the ninth Lakers in the West, and even the Kings and Clippers in terms of strength cannot compare. .
and so. After deciding to play against the Blazers in the playoffs, the expert media or teams across the United States. Basically, no one is optimistic about the Trail Blazers, almost all predict that the Jazz will sweep this team three to zero directly.
Of course, the Jazz’s first round opponents in the playoffs are not very good in strength, but in the West, other playoff games are not like this.
Especially in the fiercely competitive West 5th and West 3rd positions in recent times. Since February, the Spurs have been in a crazy sprint under the leadership of David Robinson. In order to get the top three in the West, this only The team has been sprinting from February to the end of April, during which David Robinson even got four double-doubles, averaging triple-doubles in a single month and the best player of the month. It can be said that this team was at the end of March When I saw the hope of catching up with the Rockets, the difference between the two sides was only one game.
It's just that in the Spurs and Jazz battle, after the Spurs lost, it also greatly stimulated the confidence of this team, but fortunately, the Spurs have not been discouraged for too long, or the Rockets also played Gave them confidence.
The Rockets don’t know if they are too confident or they really think it’s okay to rank in the regular season. As long as they can enter the playoffs, they are sprinting in other teams such as the Spurs. It was still tepid, and the team’s head player Drexler was still missing from time to time. Even when the playoffs were about to come, the team’s head player Olajuwon played. It is also constantly being controlled, which makes the Spurs lose their breath after losing to the Jazz, but the Rockets' performance has not completely let the Spurs lose hope. In this case, the Spurs almost clenched their teeth and insisted The sprint finished all the regular season games, and the third battle between the Spurs and the Rockets was not until the last Rockets beat the Nuggets. The Spurs defeated the Clippers before they finally decided the victory. The Rockets became 57 wins and 25 losses. It was third in the West, and the Spurs were very embarrassed, with 56 wins and 26 losses and finally became the fourth in the West with a disadvantage of one game.
Of course, the second team in the Western Conference is the Supersonics. This team was only three games away from the Spurs. But the supersonic young team is not the same as the Rockets old team. The Rockets really can’t sprint, it’s not that they don’t want to sprint, and the Supersonics are in the final Vietnam War and the bravery. At the end of the season, the record reached 62 wins and 20 losses. This record is quite good, it can be said that it is the same creation The best record in the team's history. If it weren't for the madness of the Jazz this season, the most spectacular team in the regular season this year is definitely the Supersonics.
Although it is because the Jazz's performance this season is so good, leading to the league's first and Western Conference's early loss of suspense. The Nuggets also failed to meet a team like the Blazers in the first round. It’s a pity, but for this young team, they can meet an equally young Nuggets in the first round. In fact, it is also a very good thing. After all, the first round of encounters with the Nuggets is better than the first round of encounters with the Suns or the Warriors. Especially the Supersonics were eliminated by the Suns in the Western Conference finals last season. At the end, he was really overtaken by the Spurs or the Rockets to become the third in the west, and finally faced the sun in the first round. Then this team will definitely cry.
After all, for the West, when the last season of the Sun season is constantly trimming and losing. The whole world knows what they want to do. This team wants the sixth when the top three are hopeless, because for this team, the top four in the West are not only the Jazz, but also the Spurs or the Supersonics. Their men lost in the playoffs last season. As for the rocket. In the past two seasons, the two teams have played a tie in the regular season. Although it is said that the Suns have no chance of winning, it is always better than meeting the Jazz in advance. In the Suns’ view, the West except the Jazz can only Apart from restraining their team a little, other teams are not really terrible.
It's just a little regret for this team that in the end, the Spurs failed to counterattack the Rockets successfully. If the Spurs really crushed the Rockets to become the third in the West, pushing the Rockets to the fourth position in the West and the Jazz met in advance. This is the situation they most want to see.
So in the case of the Suns almost direct water, the fifth hopeless Warriors in the West actually eventually counterattacked the Suns and finally rose to the fifth in the West.
The Western Conference playoffs eventually became. The West's first 72 wins and 10 losses against the West's eighth 35 wins and 47 losses to the Blazers, the West's second 62 wins and 20 losses, the Sonics faced the West's seventh 41 wins and 41 losses to the Nuggets, the third 57 wins in the West The Rockets with 25 losses are against the Suns with 50 wins and 32 losses in the Western Conference. The Spurs with 56 wins and 26 losses in the Western Conference are the Warriors with 52 wins and 30 losses against the Western Conference.
Except for the Jazz and Trail Blazers and the Supersonics and Nuggets, the other two players are very close in strength.
In this regard, it is much better than the Eastern side. The Eastern Conference playoff competition is fiercer than the Western Conference because the Charlotte Hornets in the Eastern Conference have a 41-41 record and a 50% win rate The playoffs didn't make it, and the Lakers in the Western Conference had a record of 32 wins and 50 losses. Of course, in addition to the fierce competition in the playoffs, the competition in the playoffs is not so fierce.
At least four games in the first round of the Eastern Conference, and the Knicks in the Eastern Conference against the Heat in the Eastern Conference. This is a relatively strong duel. As for the Eagles in the Eastern Conference and the Nets in the Eastern Conference. In the Eastern Conference, the Eagles are 57 wins and 25 losses in the same record as the Knicks. Because the two sides have a poor record, the Eagles are the second, the Knicks are the first. As for the third Bulls in the East, this The team's record is 55 wins and 27 losses, and his opponents sixth in the Eastern Conference Pacers are 47 wins and 35 losses, the gap is still very obvious, even if the gap is the fourth East Magic team with the smallest gap, this team's record Also 54 wins and 28 losses, his opponent Cavaliers are also 47 wins and 35 losses, the gap is still relatively large.
Therefore, when the first round of the league playoffs came out, almost all the focus was on the four teams of Jazz, Magic and Rockets. Jazz and Magic are very simple, because Lin Han and Hardaway and O’Neal Three super-popular young players playing the playoffs for the first time, many people are looking forward to what these three perhaps the best young people in the league will look like in their first playoff trip. As for the Rockets and the Suns, these two The team with only the championship strength in the first round of the Western Conference is naturally very impressive. Although the Jazz are now the first in the league in the record, but not everyone thinks that Jazz is the biggest favorite of this year’s championship. , Especially the Rockets supporters are still many.
In addition to these four teams, the Warriors and the Bulls are also highly anticipated. The Warriors are because of Chris Webber's super popular insider, and the Bulls are because Jordan left for the first time after the playoffs, many people want See if this team without Jordan's record is not bad after the playoffs will continue to perform well. Especially many Jordan fans, but they are all waiting for the Bulls to lose in the playoffs, if the Bulls still perform well in the playoffs. Jordan's comeback time will be pushed back again. Recently, Jordan's partner Nike has been releasing the wind that Jordan is likely to come back next season. If the Bulls still perform well in the playoffs this year, will Jordan still come back? In particular, according to the current Bulls Pippen, the Bulls’ goal this year is the championship. If the Bulls take the championship like Pippen said in the absence of Jordan, Jordan may need to go to another team to come back. .
of course. For the Jazz, the team’s first game in the playoffs and the Blazers was on April 28th. The first game in the Western Conference and the eighth game in the Western Conference was the first day of the playoffs. The finale game.
After the Jazz defeated the Lakers and scored 72-10 in the season. The team's opponents in the playoffs are the worst of all high-seeded teams in the first round, which is a very good thing, and in addition to the team's good playoff matchup, this year's regular season is over after that. This team is also very good in many awards.
As the team's master. Although there were some conflicts between Malone and the team last month, the headed player of the Jazz averaged 26 points, 12.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.9 blocks and 1.8 steals per game this season. I didn’t get the scoring leader or the rebounding leader. Not to mention the assisting, blocking, or stealing king. He certainly can’t get it. However, although Malone’s data can’t get any single king, but His scoring ranks fifth among all players this season. Rebounds ranked third among all players, behind Rodman's 17 rebounds and O'Neal's 13 rebounds. As for assists, they are also ranked 45th, while the Jazz’s steals and blocks are ranked 11th and 12th in the league. It can be said that all the statistics are in the top 20 in the league except for assists. This is a very rare all-around performance. In the league this season there are players who have such all-around performances. In addition to Malone, Olajuwon and David Robinson are the two super centers.
It’s just that in terms of the team’s record, neither David Robinson nor Olajuwon can threaten Malone. It is precisely because of such a data that after the regular season, when all the media mentioned mvp candidates Malone is almost always the first candidate.
In addition to Malone, the team's super point guard Stockton averaged 11.2 points, 15 assists and 2.4 steals per game this season, although the average of 11 points per game created the Jazz player's career. A new low after the start, but assists have created a career high, breaking the new record of 14.5 assists per season he himself maintained four years ago, and 15 assists per season also makes the Jazz super The point guard became the king of assists this year.
Of course, in addition to the outstanding performance of the two headed players of the Jazz in the statistics~EbookFREE.me~Like Lin Han, the young rookie of the Jazz this season may be averaging 35.9 points per game. People are shocked. Although it is not the first time in NBA history to score the scoring leader in the rookie season, it is clear that at the age of Lin Han, Lin Han scored 35.9 points with 28.1 shots per game this season. It is the youngest scoring leader in the league, and in addition to the incredible score, Lin Han is also extremely terrifying in shooting efficiency this season. His shooting percentage has reached 51%, and his three-point shooting percentage is as high as 40.5%. It’s not that the free throw percentage Lin Lin’s average of 81% is a bit bleak, and the Jazz shooting guard is likely to become a '180' club player.
However, although he failed to become a 180 club, Lin Han felt a bit regretful. The first season of the rookie was difficult to get the referee to take care of, and the average of less than 7 free throws per game was not good. 5.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.2 blocks are still good enough.
After the end of the regular season, Lin Han received a purple gold special consecutive award. Because he got the scoring king, Lin Han also received a silver milestone reward. The league's scoring king is a silver milestone. reward.
For Lin Han, the next period is definitely a period of harvest. (To be continued...) ()
