Vol 2 Chapter 234: Advance in the first round!

(For subscription, for recommendation, for monthly ticket)
"This, is this game really played by our team?"
"It's unbelievable, did we really stand up to the Jazz's offensive?"
"It's incredible. It's really incredible. The Jazz don't look as strong as they think."
Although because of the need for commercialization of NBA, since David Stern took office, NBA's rules have been constantly adjusted. In order to make the game more smooth and beautiful, speed and technology become more and more important in NBA games. , And this directly led to the inside players who once dominated nba now slowly lose their dominance.
Even when Jordan appeared and led the Bulls to win three consecutive championships without a super center and shouted that the era of ruling-level insiders dominating nba was over, even many people could not refute.
However, even if outside players and outside play are becoming more and more popular, another nba iron law is still very effective, that is, nba is a sport of elders. At least for now, inside players are still in the present. The nba of the occupies an extremely important role. The team that wants to win by pure outside play still does not exist. Even Jordan can’t explain why he will meet Olajuwon. Will always perform abnormally.
So, when the third game between the Jazz and the Blazers started in the Blazers Memorial Arena, when the game wanted to prove that it could suppress the Blazers on the offensive end and rhythm, the Jazz started to be crazy on the offensive end. Attacked the Trailblazers in the three insides, and sometimes it was even awkward to return without success. Even the Blazers fans who still had confidence in their team in this game were taken aback by the situation on the spot.
In this game, the Jazz did not have any tactics or formation changes. The center is still pj Brown. The power forward is still Malone, the small forward is still Russell. The two guards are still Lin Han and Stockton. At the beginning of the game, the Jazz team was like proving that they could control the rhythm in the game, or that Jerry Sloan began to prove to the people who said that he has insufficient coaching ability that he is capable, so in order to be able to prove At this point, when facing the Trail Blazers' three insides and completely occupying the entire paint area, the three Jazz players Malone and Lin Han and Stockton continued to develop under the command of coach Jerry Sloan. The attacker launched a strong attack.
Although the game started, the Jazz did control the scene. With the super strength of Lin Han and Malone, the Jazz did indeed suppress the Trail Blazers during the offensive, but it is obvious. Although the Trail Blazers were suppressed from the beginning, when Malone continued to attack under the influence of and three people, the Jazz soon felt a little unsustainable, and finally the first quarter The game is not over yet. The Jazz are already unsustainable.
And Jerry Sloan, who wanted to control the situation in this game, quickly discovered. If he has no way to break the Trailblazer's three inside tactics, even if he allows Malone to attack the opponent's inside line, even if he lets Lin Han's crazy shot outside to open up space for Malone, the final result is still unable to defeat the Blazers' three inside line. Standing, and the final result is that although they struggled at the beginning of the game, they still lost the rhythm of the game!
"There is no doubt that Jerry Sloan still failed to make a correct decision in this game."
When the game between the Jazz and the Blazers started, the Jazz forced Lin Han and Malone to use their talents to suppress the Blazers for a period of time and then fell into a passive state after the opening. At this time, the on-site commentator Larry Bird looked very ugly.
Although he is not a professional head coach, is it really so difficult to break the three inside tactics? He didn't know what Jerry Sloan thought. At least he knows that if he is the head coach of the Jazz, then he can easily break the Blazers' three inside tactics.
In fact, at the very least, Larry Bird knew that if the Blazers still wanted to bully people with his team’s three All-Stars inside, then he directly pushed Malone to the center position and Lin Han to the power forward’s. In terms of position, the team's starting shooting guard was replaced by Elliott. When the Jazz made this practice of setting up forts outside, did the Blazers dare to play this shrinking three inside tactic?
Although for the Jazz's running style, the inside attack ability is not strong, the three inside can indeed restrain this jazz, but the same as long as the jazz can play the speed and peripheral shots, the jazz can also restrain the pioneers Just like the Spurs, although the two-game losing streak warriors in the playoffs were restrained by the Warriors, as long as the Spurs can hold the rebound in their hands, the Spurs can also restrain the warriors who are not good inside.
It's just obvious that Old Nelson is a lunatic, so he dared to play one big four or four when facing the Spurs, and that big insider was actually Chris Weber, although this approach is very risky because Chris Weber has only been exploded. , The Warriors really knelt, but in the end because of Rodman's slump, the Warriors won.
Even a team like the Warriors who is not as good as the Jazz in the internal staffing dare to play crazy when facing the dominant team in the inside. The Jazz and Jerry Sloan are still so conservative, which is incredible. If they are not the pioneers There is indeed no outside player who can match Lin Han. I am afraid the Jazz are not even easy to pass the first round.
Judging only from the performance of both parties in the first quarter, the Blazers who had been prepared for the Jazz's attack did not feel any confusion during the Jazz's attack. This is like a mallet hitting the stone door, even if the mallet is harder That's still the mallet, and that's the case with the Jazz. When they didn't make any tactical changes, Ma Long or Lin Han's strong attack was that the mallet hit the stone door. Even if you try hard, it's hard to really open it.
"Well, the Jazz now really need to find a way to deal with the defense of the Blazers. From now on, the Blazers are ready to fight back. The Jazz cannot open on the offensive end. I am afraid there will be some problems on the defensive end. This The layout of Jerry Sloan did look forward and backwards in the game."
After Larry Bird finished, Collins on the side also frowned, saying that the former Bulls coach also saw the extremely embarrassing situation of the Jazz at this time. If the Jazz can’t break the Blazers’ Inside the tortoise shell, this jazz is still very difficult to win in this game, and unlike the last game, the Blazers' preparation for this game looks more adequate. Especially when Larry Bird and Collins saw the Trail Blazers defender Terry Potter start to slowly hit Lin Han, the two of them knew what the Blazers wanted to do in this game.
And for the Jazz players, it is even more unfavorable. At this time, the Blazers fans on the sidelines were very enthusiastic when the team slowly occupied the initiative. This also stimulated the Blazers players.
At least this time, the Blazers boss Paul Allen in the stands was really irritated. The Blazers boss who had a bad look before the game had become more beautiful at this time.
"Boss. It seems that Carlesimo still has a way"
When watching the Jazz players on the court in the Trail Blazers' three inside tactical support was somewhat obstructed. Facing a smiling assistant, Paul Allen also smiled and nodded. Although Carlesimo replaced Adelman as the team coach this season, he played a mess in the regular season, but in terms of coaching level It's really not bad.
Of course, if let Callesimo know that his boss has been recognized at this time, the Trail Blazers coach will be more excited, although this time he is already very excited.
"Terry. Don't hesitate to press it up. Suddenly, he made a fierce concession!"
When Karl Malone had a pick-and-roll with Stockton just now, facing the Thorpe defense and Robinson's assist defense again missed the middle distance and was grabbed by the Blazers to rebound and start the attack, facing the field is holding The ball's team defender Terry Porter, Calle Simo also shouted wildly.
The two most important steps that the Blazers want to win in this game is that the first step is to resist the opening attack of the Jazz. This is what the Blazers did, and the other step is to be able to give the Jazz more threats on the offensive end. And killing, and the most important point is to prevent Lin Han from being able to balance both offensive and defensive ends. In the case of Malone’s offensive blocking, Lin Han needs to take more responsibility on the offensive end, then Tripot will be in Lin Han consumes defensively, leaving Lin Han unable to devote all his energy to the team's offense.
After the Blazers' first step was completed, Callesimo was indeed full of confidence at this time.
After the start of this game, the Jazz played very depressed. This can be seen from the expression of the Jazz players on the court. Lin Han quickly retreated after the failure of Malone's attack. This At that time, the Trail Blazers defender Terry Porter also quickly killed him, and the Blazers deliberately bet rhythm in the previous two games. Even the chance of a fast break is not different. After the game starts, the Blazers It doesn't seem to insist on playing for 24 seconds anymore, maybe other Blazers players are still like that, but this is not the case with Tripot.
Lin Han has already remembered that the player who didn’t have a strong desire to attack in the first two games has been attacking him intentionally in recent times.
And no matter how many times Tribold had failed in the past, this guy still attacked him whenever he had a chance, which made Lin Han speechless. After all, even the stupid players know what the Blazers are doing at this time. This team wants to consume itself on the defensive end, not only to reduce its contribution on the offensive end but also to be able to defend other players after being dragged down by Tripot.
The Blazers' plan is actually very good. Tripot's strength is indeed very strong. After the Blazers' shooting guard strengthened the offensive in this game, it was extremely difficult to defend.
"Old guy, I can't beat that easily!"
In the face of Terry Porter’s fast break, he didn’t pay attention to the other teammates who continued to kill the basket, and Lin Han was only able to follow on one side, when he didn’t dare to foul easily, this time the Blazers fans In the crazy cry, Tripot's speed is getting faster and faster. At this time, the Blazers and Jazz players on the field can only watch Terry Porter and Lin Han's fast break and defensive fast break in the first quarter behind him!
Although Lin Han is young, he has also been in the NBA for a year, and he has a certain understanding of many NBA players. In terms of speed, Terry Porter is not a very fast player. After all, he is not so young, but this guy is really very difficult to defend, because this guy is a left-handed player, if only the left-handed player Lin John can also have a way, the key is that his right hand is no worse than his left hand. For many players who play breakthroughs, most players are used to walking sideways, so it is easy to defend. In the face of those players who walk on the side, as long as they guard the direction they are used to breaking through and let them take an unaccustomed position, but facing this player who can cut into the left and right at the same time, it is really nerve-wracking, even if Lin Han can lock the player. Because even Lin Han can really lock in. But when the offensive player can instantly turn the right hand into the left hand or the left hand into the right hand, Lin Han can't keep up, just like Lin Han failed to lock Hardaway in the All-Star Game, Hardaway's pass can be fake , Tripot's right-hand conversion can also be false.
If not, Lin Han wisely increased the level of ubiquitous assist defense before the game started, and doubled his defensive reaction speed. This game is not only a jazz challenge. Lin Han is also very difficult.
Terry Porter is a very good combo guard, which all Portland fans know. The Blazers coach Carlesimo also knew that if it wasn’t because of Terry Porter’s older age, it was difficult to maintain such a breakthrough and physical confrontation throughout the game, then this game Blazers The winning percentage will be even greater.
In order to make Lin Han appear scrupulous on the offensive end, Carlesimo hardly had any hesitation, directly let Terry Porter fully open in the first quarter, directly give Lin Han a Mawei, or let Lin Han defend directly Duan was beaten, so that the game against the Trail Blazers will be better.
It's just that the previous few tentative attacks by Terry Porter were defended by Lin Han, which made the Trail Blazers head coach a little surprised.
"No matter how many times you have defended Terry in front of you, this time, you will never succeed!"
Looking at Tripot, who had Lin Han leaning against his left fast-handed dribble to the basket, Carlesimo was almost trembling with excitement, especially watching the special Lipport is getting closer and closer to the basket, and it's even more time to start the layup.
Not to mention that Carlesimo was full of excitement at this time, and even the Blazers fans on the sidelines at this time were all standing when they saw that Tripot was about to defeat Linhan for the first time in this game. stand up.
And as these people imagined, when he reached his offensive range, Terry Potter almost did not hesitate, jumped directly, Lin Lin on his left saw Terry Potter jumped up and put his right hand When he stretched out to prepare for a layup, he also jumped up.
"I must score this goal!"
Terry Porter, who was already flying in the air, felt Lin Han’s body collide with him at this time. The Trailblazer’s All-Star guard made a move that almost made everyone on the scene scream. The defender who was slightly out of balance because of his physical confrontation with Lin Han in the air was originally preparing a layup of the right hand that was facing the left hand of Lin Han who was approaching slowly. The trailblazer defender was actually blocked by Lin Han. At that time, the right wrist slightly flicked to the left. Almost instantly, the Trailblazer defender avoided the upcoming blockade of Lin Han. When basketball appeared on the left hand of the defender, the defender Almost at the moment of throwing out, the basketball on the left hand was gently sent to the hoop, and when he sent the basketball out, the trailblazer's guard also fell out.
This is a very wonderful air evasion. Terry Potter has almost used all his abilities. It can be seen that the trailblazer's defender is extremely afraid of Lin Han's defensive ability, especially Lin Han's terrifying predictive ability Therefore, whether this game is a breakthrough or an offense, his fake moves are countless, and the frequency is so fast that even Lin Han was shocked, and this time Tripot’s action has reached the peak of the peak.
So Jerry Sloan, the head coach of the Jazz who had been standing and commanding for a while after the start of the game on the sidelines, was shocked to see this scene, let alone Jerry Sloan. Even if the other two players on the field have the same expression, they really did not expect a 31-year-old veteran to actually make such a move that Jordan may not easily make under the pressure of Lin Han.
Therefore, while flying in the air and losing his balance, Terry Potter, who was about to throw out hard, saw the basketball thrown by himself slowly rise and flew to the basket. The trailblazer's guard even smiled.
However, at the moment when there was a smile on Terry Potter’s face, when he saw Lin Han who had been deceived by him, he shot his left hand that had just failed to block in the air and shot him behind him. The Blazers defender, who was already full of victory smiles, narrowed his eyes, and the smile on his face froze instantly.
When the fans of the Blazers and everyone on the scene saw Lin Han shot the basketball behind him with the left hand that failed to block, the scene almost changed from extreme fanaticism in an instant. There was extreme silence.
Even at this time, the excitement and smile on the faces of Paul Allen and Callesimo were also frozen. Almost all were incredibly looking at the jazz number eight flying in the air until Lin Han and Terry Potter lost their balance in the air and fell to the ground. The basketball shot by Lin Han flew to the back of Stowe. When Kirton held it. The scene turned into an uproar again.
"Oh my god, was I dreaming just now? There is no way for Terry to score from Lin Han's offense?"
"Did you see clearly the blocking rate of Lin Han just now? He was able to seal twice in such a short period of time, and in different directions?"
"He's incredible, it's impossible for a defensive trailblazer like Lin Han to break through now?!"
After Lin Han and Terry Potter both fell off the ground. At this time, the fans on the sidelines didn't even care about the Jazz attacking again. Instead, all his eyes were placed on Lin Han and Terry Potter who fell in the backcourt.
Especially at this time when the big screen of the scene appeared Tribe Porta lying on the floor still unbelievable and ashamed expression, the pioneers fans on the scene were in an uproar.
Even Collins and Larry Bird on the sidelines were stunned when they looked at the almost broken Terry Potter on the big screen at the time.
No such offense can break Lin Han's defense? This is definitely a huge blow for the pioneers who are now in a dominant position, especially for Tripot.
So Collins and Larry Bird, who had just criticized Jerry Sloan, both looked at each other at this time, and all laughed bitterly.
At this time, Lin Han, who fell on the ground and slowly climbed up from the ground, also showed a bit of a grin on his face. When he was in the right hand layup of Tripot, the lock-up defense clearly predicted that this guy was a right-hand layup. But finally after Lin Han made the blocking action, this guy still completed a rapid change. Just like Hardaway did on the All-Star, if Lin Han had a blocking rate of 30%. This time he and Terry Porter singled out are definitely losers.
So after standing up from the ground, I looked at the trailblazer guard who was still lying on the ground, his eyes were wide, and his body was trembling. Lin Han was also admired. This guy is really powerful, otherwise he was the peak. Impossible to call Drexler a trailblazer.
And when Lin Han stood up from the ground, the Jazz, who launched the offensive again at this time, scored 2 points under Malone's breakout. Obviously, the Trail Blazers players were affected by Lin Han's defense just now.
Not to mention that the Blazers players on the field were a bit dazed at this time. At this time, even the Blazers coach Callesimo was in a daze for a long time. The young coach until the first After the end of the festival game, when the players of both sides come off the court, they are considered to be awake.
"I have to admit to seeing Lin Han's defense. Many people think that it is not an exaggerated thing for him to enter the defense for a while. In the nba field, except for a few people, very few people are able to defend the Billing. John is even better"
"Although Jerry Sloan's tactical performance in this game is still problematic, you have to say that he has a very good group of players, and this group of players can really bring him victory."
When Larry Bird ended the first quarter, the players from both sides came off the court. Looking at the score of 24 to 20 on the sidelines, he shook his head helplessly. The Blazers' momentum had already risen. The score has been exceeded, but in the end, when Lin Han's almost impossible defense appeared, the morale of the entire Trail Blazers fell almost instantly.
Because all Blazers players know that if Terry Porter has no way to score points in front of Lin Han, then even if they try hard to limit the scores of Malone and Jazz, they will not win. It is very likely that they will not score in this game, and naturally it is difficult to win.
Such a sense of despair is not only present in Triport, but also in other Trail Blazers players.
and so. When the Jazz starter came off the court, Jerry Sloan, who was a little nervous after the game started, was also relieved.
As a very experienced head coach, Jerry Sloan certainly knows that he has some problems with the team, but the shadow of being eliminated by the Supersonics in the first round last season still exists in his mind. He is not really afraid to gamble. How can one think so much when a person is pressed.
"No matter what. As long as you can break through the first round, just break through the first round first!"
The point is, Jerry Sloan really doesn’t want to have any twists and turns in the first round, so at this time, watching the panting Lin Han and Malone on the bench, the Jazz coach is secretly in his heart Swears, of course, for the character of Jerry Sloan. The team really entered the second round, I am afraid he may not havetily gambled. After all, there is still an essential difference between him and old Nelson.
"The Trail Blazers attacked, James Robinson was a bit hesitant to hold the ball. He failed to pass the ball to Corbyn, who had already had a chance, and missed a very good open opportunity."
"After the Blazers started the second quarter, the players' offense was a bit hesitant. It can be seen that the morale of the Blazers is now a bit depressed.
When the second quarter game between the Jazz and the Blazers started, the previously crazy Blazers at home were a bit confusing at this time, it was difficult to gather the momentum just now, and this situation seems to have infected the Blazers. For the players, at least this time the group of very good Trail Blazers benches are now being beaten by the Jazz.
When seeing this scene, both Larry Bird and Collins shook their heads helplessly.
For the Blazers who are already behind 0-2, the reason why they can have the courage to win the jazz in this game is because they can see the hope of winning, and when they can’t even see the hope. , Let them go down 0-2 to win, how is this possible?
Therefore, both Larry Bird and Collins know that the Blazers are over.
In fact, from the start of the second quarter when the two sides started again, Trail Blazers All-Star guard Terry Porter still sits on the bench and toweled his head and did not play after the start of the main time in the second quarter. When the Trail Blazers slowly lose their fighting spirit on the court at this time, the suspense of this game is not too great.
In the face of the Blazers now having some loose defense, Lin Han even once again controlled the players from Stockton, and still played the internal and external lines of the first game with Malone. For the Blazers, the defense became loose. In other words, the cooperation between Lin Han and Malone is more effective than the cooperation between Malone and Stockton.
"This guy is really strong, really strong"
Although Carlesimo is a very young head coach, but his coaching career is not short, he graduated from college because of his family background, he can manage the team, this famous coach already has After 20 years of coaching experience, he has experienced the battle of the Devil Birds, Jordan and Baias, and even the Duke era of Grant Hill. He has seen many 20s. Genius player, and Lin Han is undoubtedly one of the best among these people.
So at this time, watching the guy who almost defeated his team on the sidelines, this time Carlesimo was very complicated.
Appreciation of Lin Han, he has, unwilling to himself, he also has, although the team is about to face the fate of being swept by the Jazz, but he really did not think that he lost because of inferior strength to Jerry Sloan, so In the end, after looking at the Jazz bench, the Trail Blazers head coach saw that the Jazz coach who had now calmed down showed some envy in the eyes of Callesimo.
"If he is a Trail Blazers player, I think we might be stronger than the Jazz?"
At this time Carlesimo, who looked at Lin Han again, said with some uncertainty.
Of course, Carlesimo hoped that his team could have a player like Lin Han. At this time, people who had the same idea were not just him. For example, they stood up from their seats after halftime. Paul Allen, the Blazers boss who left the stadium directly, left the Blazers general manager with a bitter smile when he left.
"Either way, I will get him, any way, any means!"
The game between the Jazz and the Trail Blazers was very tortuous and dramatic. I am afraid that no one would think of the Blazers' advantage in the situation after the game started. At the end of the half, they will lose 11 points 41 to 52, and the same No one thought that the Blazers who called out a must-win before the game would lose 22 points 86 to 108 at the end of the game.
When the game ended, there were still some Blazers fans on the sidelines who could not accept the result.
"The game is over. Congratulations to the Jazz. This is a good victory. Congratulations to them for beating the Trail Blazers 3-0 and taking the lead in the second round of the playoffs."
"But I also congratulate the Blazers. They played a very good feature when everyone was not optimistic. Although they did not win any game in this series, they performed very well, whether it is The head coach and players of this team are very good, they caused a lot of trouble to the team with the first record in the history of the mother's regular season."
"Although the big score of this series is 3-0, the promotion of the Jazz is not as easy as the score shows. If this team wants the final championship, they need to do better."
"Of course ~EbookFREE.me~ I have to say that this team has a very good group of players, especially Lin Han. The jazz guard was almost 5x5 in the third playoff game of his career. He scored 31 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 6 blocks in this game. He was the biggest contributor to the Jazz promotion in this series."
When the game ended, as Lin Han and the young jazz players who participated in the playoffs for the first time in their careers, the victory of the series was still very exciting for them, especially Lin Han. The victory did make him very excited. Of course, not to mention Lin Han, even Malone and Stockton were quite excited at this time. Although they were not in the center of the Delta at this time, they were the two jazz players at the moment of the end of the game. Still shouting like at home.
"Jerry, we won!"
Of course, at this time, watching the jazz players on the court madly cheering and celebrating. Jazz assistant coach Phil Johnson, who was in front of the side jazz bench, was also excited to say to Jerry Sloan, who was also smiling at this time. Over.
In any case, the Jazz finally broke through the first round again! (To be continued...) ()
