Vol 2 Chapter 235: The Jazz that swept the major awards

(For subscription)
No one thought that a series without any suspense would eventually become like this. Although the Jazz ended up winning three games in a row, no one who watched these three games would think that the Jazz won. For granted.
In the face of the highly targeted tactical play of the playoffs, the problem of the Jazz’s lack of tactical flexibility was revealed so quickly. Although the strength of the Trail Blazers is indeed excellent, it is also desperate in the playoffs. Played, but as a regular season first team, and the regular season record breaking record, such a playoff start is actually not so satisfying.
Of course, a conservative team like the Jazz and a commander like Jerry Sloan also reached the Western Conference finals, but it was clear that at that time, not many people really had such great expectations for this team, and now it is Definitely incomparable. At that time, the Jazz could curl up and wince in the Western Conference Finals, but now the Jazz still want to do so, it will definitely not work.
Therefore, after the first round of the playoffs between the Jazz and the Trail Blazers, although the Jazz away from the Trail Blazers with Lin Han’s close to 5x5 performance and Malone’s 30 points and 16 rebounds, he returned to the Salt Lake. The City's Jazz still faced many accusations from the NBA.
Even many of the jazz teams were not optimistic before, but the experts or the media disappeared because the jazz team's record in the regular season was too good, or even the media even cheered up. Even some of the extreme media even directly said that the jazz team did not say that It's hard to say whether the champion can make it to the Western Conference finals.
have to say. In NBA, a team wants to win the championship, it is not just a pile of players, it is also not a team to win three or four games. According to the schedule of a team winning the championship, it needs to win 15 games in the playoffs. This is a very long process, and it also extremely tests the comprehensive quality of a team.
Therefore, for the playoffs or their own championship road, both the Jazz players and the coaching staff are mentally prepared to accept some of the problems in the process. If a team plays in its own postseason There is no problem on the road to the game or the championship. That is a strange thing.
But what the Jazz did not expect was that the player problems that they expected were likely to occur did not appear first, and the first problem was actually the team's head coach.
So after the Jazz defeated the Blazers and returned to Salt Lake City. As the team's head coach, Jerry Sloan has also been drilling in the team's video editing room and his assistant, Phil Johnson, watching the team's first round of game video, it seems to want to find a solution to his problem, but For Jazz players, can Jerry Sloan find a solution to the problem? Of course. The problem can be seen all over the world. How can Jerry Sloan not know, the key is whether the Jazz coach is willing or willing to change his life creed.
Therefore, with regard to the question of the current team coach, the players of the Jazz are actually still relatively calm or do not feel that there is much problem.
"Lin, did you watch yesterday's game between the Spurs and the Warriors? The guy David Robinson was crazy!"
"Yeah, more than fifty points in a single game in the playoffs is really incredible. Although the Warriors' inner line is very bad now. But David Robinson's performance is still incredible."
On May 6, 1994, the Jazz defeated the Blazers and returned to Salt Lake City the next day. When Lin Han came to the team from home early this morning, this time in the locker room of the Jazz's training hall. At this time, all the players in the team were talking about the third game of the Warriors and Spurs last night. It is very likely that Lin Han will be able to decide the next opponent of the Jazz.
In this game, as the Spurs' master, when the Warriors won two consecutive games and the team was pushed to the edge of the cliff, David Robinson's performance in this game can be described as magical. 22 of 35 shots in a single game, hitting 58 points and 16 rebounds plus 6 assists, directly blasting the inside of the Warriors. For the Warriors and Spurs, who can beat their own advantages , Who can control the game, the Warriors need to hit the limit of speed and attack to bring down the Spurs, the Spurs need to completely block and crush the inside of the Warriors, and the third game of the Warriors and Spurs belongs to such a game game.
The Spurs' David Robinson couldn't bear to go crazy, crushing the Warriors' Chris Webb as the team's big four, but compared to the excited jazz players at this time, Lin Han was Quite calmly, he is not disappointed with David Robinson's 58 points and 16 rebounds data. On the contrary, there are really not many players who can get this data in the playoffs. It can even be said that this is a level. Play.
The key point is that the Spurs have fought 58 points and 16 rebounds in a single game in David Robinson. This team actually only won the Warriors by two points 105 to 103. The Warriors even had three points at the last moment. The chance of lore.
I have to say that the current time has reached its limit, their advantage for the Warriors is still much worse than the Warriors for their advantage.
"However, judging from the confrontation between these two teams, our next opponent is likely to be the Warriors. This team's offensive play is really crazy. Old Nelson dare to play against the Spurs. Playing one big and four small, and the big player inside was actually just Chris Webb."
Therefore, after Lin Han sat down, Stockton on the side also said that although the Spurs' David Robinson is really crazy, and if he is not crazy, he will be swept away, but it is clear that David Robinson cannot play. With such a performance, Lin Han can see things. As Stockton, the team with the highest IQ, he can naturally see them.
So after Stockton finished. Lin Han also nodded. When the other party had a huge advantage, he did not think of ways to contain the other party's advantage. It’s really a matter of courage. It’s really a matter of courage. Just like if Sloan is in the position of the Warriors coach against the Spurs, the Jazz coach will surely treat himself The inside line is full of people.
Although these two claims are not right or wrong, just like the superstar play that Lin Han and Malone insisted on before the Jazz infighting, and the team play that Jerry Sloan expected, there is no possibility of the two play. Out of pros and cons. Because he can win so far, only Jerry Sloan sees the team play will make him more at ease, and Lin Han and Malone playing superstar play will make Lin Han and Malone more happy.
The most critical point is the question of fit and unfit. Jerry Sloan’s conservatism and old Nelson’s madness is a matter of style, and now Nelson’s commendation and Jerry Sloan’s demeanor are not because of the difference in strength between the two, but that old Nelson’s madness is consistent The overall style of the Warriors, and Jerry Sloan's conservative may be in line with the style of the previous Jazz. But definitely not in line with the style of this jazz team.
and so. Stockton's remarks are full of respect for Old Nelson. More because the combination of Warriors and Old Nelson is indeed very suitable. It is also somewhat helpless. Now the Jazz and the team's head coach still need to run in.
Just like after the last game, Larry Bird said in an interview after the game, the Jazz did not think that their team strength will grow so fast, so they have not found a balance point so far.
Although Larry Bird has been criticizing Jerry Sloan recently, this sentence is indeed true. Even Jerry Sloan himself admitted that Lin Han's growth rate is too fast. The Jazz's strength has improved too fast, as a head coach. He feels that he can't keep up, he can't make a correct positioning and evaluation of his team's players.
This is also the reason why Jerry Sloan locked himself in the video room to watch the video. Most of them are not trying to find a solution to the problem, but want to become more familiar with these players and understand the strength of his group of players.
Of course, in any case, although the game of the first round of the playoffs and the Blazers exposed so many problems so early, winning the nba has everything. For the Jazz, although many public opinion is now against the Jazz Criticism was expressed, but more because the Jazz did not show the dominance of a record team, which disappointed them.
And soon, the public opinion of these NBA or the US media will loose their eyes from criticizing the jazz team, because the trophy of the major NBA regular season announced by the league for two consecutive days can almost be said to keep the jazz in constant Of the screen.
In addition to the two less important awards, the fastest progressive players are the Washington Bullets’ Don McLean and the best sixth man won by Dell Curry, and the best defensive player was successfully defended by Olajuwon. Almost all major awards have the Jazz figure.
As the head coach of the Jazz this season, although Jerry Sloan has been controversial in recent times, the head coach who led the team to 72 wins in a single season has no suspense to win the best coach of this year's nba. .
Of course, except for the best head coach, there is no controversy, and the candidate has been decided almost before the award came out. In another award, the best general manager is also without any controversy, although it is said that Lin Han is the best in the draft Rieslong’s decision, but as the general manager of the Jazz Scott Redden, such a credit is naturally impossible, even because Jerry Sloan is the head coach, so most of the credit for the selection of Lin Han by the Jazz is in Sri Lanka. In the case of Cot Redden, in this case, the general manager of the Jazz team, like Jerry Sloan, can be said to have won the award without any doubt, and after the award of Scott Redden What's even more gratifying is that the Jazz team's father and son became the first father and son in NBA history to have won the best general manager. This is a very good story.
The last general manager of the Jazz who won the best general manager was Frank Redden. At that time, he was the head coach of the Jazz and the general manager of the Jazz. When he retired, he passed the position of the head coach to his assistant. Jerry Sloan, and the position of the general manager was passed on to his son Scott Ryden, I am afraid that this old man did not think that his disciples and sons could do better than him when they were working. .
of course. In addition to these two awards for managers, other awards such as players, such as the best defensive lineup. The three headed players of the Jazz have all entered, and even Lin Han and Malone have become the best defensive players for a while.
For this year’s best defensive player, this controversy is not big, especially when Olajuwon has no defensive efficiency on the defensive end without his internal partner Thorpe, there is no dispute about this award. The biggest controversy about the defensive award is whether Lin Han can become a defensive player for a while.
Although this award has been awarded at the end of the first round of the playoffs. However, a lot of gossip has come out before. Lin Han entered the defense for a while as a rookie this season, so when this gossip comes out. Public opinion in the United States is almost in an uproar.
If Lin Han enters the best lineup for a while, then this is a matter of course, because the best lineup for a while is an award for the overall performance of the players, the record. Both offense and defense must be considered. The defensive team is the five strongest defensive players in the league in a season. As an outside player, if Lin Han enters a team, it is one of the best three players in the league's outside defense this season, although Lin Han's defense is indeed Very good, but is it the top three?
In the end, when the last game between the Jazz and the Blazers ended, there was no such controversy. Because that game Lin Han’s blockade of Terry Potter was really good, at least that game. Lin Han does have such strength.
So, to really talk about the controversy, after this award comes out, the biggest controversy is probably Karl Malone. Malone defeated the Knicks’ Oakley and was selected as a defense. Although it is said that Malone has such a super teammate this year because of Lin Han The performance on the defensive end is excellent. The average of close to 2 steals and 2 blocks per game this season is very good, and at the beginning of the season, because of the weak Jazz inside line, this power forward also has to guard many of the league's super inside lines, but, one The team that scored the most points like the Jazz and lost a lot of points appeared two one-time defense players at once, which is still not acceptable.
But the controversy is controversial, but the best defensive lineup composed of Olajuwon, Malone, Pippen, Linhan and Payton can still be accepted by most people. As for David Robinson, Oakley and Rod There weren't many people discussing Mann and Stockton and Breclow's second team.
If there are two Jazz in the best defensive lineup, then the next best lineup is even more terrifying. When the league announced the best lineup, although everyone has already This preparation, but when I see the result, there will be a burst of exclamation.
This year's NBA's best lineup is center Olajuwon, forwards Malone and Pippen, defenders are Lin Han and Stockton, a team of three people entered the first team, this is the first time in NBA history .
However, because the performance of the Jazz this year's regular season is too incredible, so whether it is assisting King Stockton or scoring Wang Linhan or Malone, who is most likely to win the regular season mvp in the future, any of these three people There is no dispute about entering the first team.
On the contrary, this year's second lineup is much more controversial than the first lineup, because this lineup has the names of two young people. This year's second lineup is center David Robinson, forward Barkley and Camp, and the position of the defender is It was Hardaway and Sprewell, who actually defeated Kevin Johnson of the Suns, Richmond of the Kings, and Drexler of the Rockets. Of course, Drexler would not say, He missed too many. As for Richmond, the team's record is too pitted. The key is Kevin Johnson. This Sun guard has averaged 20 points and 9.5 assists this season. This data can be said to be quite good, although Hardaway The 20+6+7 and Sprewell’s 21+5+5 are also very good, but these two are newcomers after all, it is still possible to save a position for Kevin Johnson, but it is obvious that although the Suns last The failure to brush to the sixth place deliberately makes people unable to say anything in the rules, but when voting for such awards, people still see a lot of people's aversion to this team.
Of course, for the league's current best lineup, one of the most pitfalls is the ranking of the four centers. There are only three positions in the best lineup. But there are four of the big four centers. In this case, O'Neal's stats this season are crazy, averaging 29.3 points, 13 rebounds and 3 blocks. And the team's record can also be ranked fourth in the east, such data and record can only allow him to find a position in the best three team.
Although such a record and data can only find a place in the third team, but O'Neill is very satisfied. Last season, he averaged 23.4 points, 13.9 rebounds and 3.5 blocks per game in the rookie season. It's okay to enter for a while, plus the record has greatly improved the Magic, but because of being the three major center rounds at the time. As a result, he has not been able to enter even three times.
Although he was still rounded by the three centers in the regular season this year, he beat Ewing anyway and entered the third team. Ewing was so sad that he didn't even enter the third team.
As the No. 1 team in the Eastern Conference, none of the Knicks players actually entered the best lineup, so when this selection came out, it was based on the ethics of the New York media. How could they let go of such an extremely shameful thing.
It's just that Olajuwon and the Admiral really can't be hacked. The record numbers are better than Ewing, but O'Neal, who played extremely poorly in the playoffs this year, is different.
So many media that were still madly black with the Jazz and Jerry Sloan. When the league announced these awards, they all turned their guns at O'Neal at one time, which made the Jazz a lot easier.
In general, the major awards announced by NBA are all coming out one by one, and the regular season mvp, which is the largest award in the regular season, is often relatively late.
However, although it is said that the NBA regular season mvp came out late, but a lot of gossip is not too late. Even long ago, after only one game in the playoffs between the Jazz and Trail Blazers. There are rumors outside that this year's regular-season mvp voting results are very surprising. As for how surprised they were, no one knows. There were even a lot of rumors at the time because Stockton, Malone and Lin Han were voting on the side. Too many votes led to Olajuwon's successful counterattack and unexpectedly harvested the regular season mvp.
And when this kind of argument or rumors came out, even the official of NBA did not refute rumors. At that time, there was a feeling that Olajuwon counterattacked mvp.
And when the league announced the results of the league's regular season mvp on May 8, when everyone saw this result, it was also a cold sweat.
There are 121 people participating in the NBA regular season mvp voting, and Malone, who was elected to this year’s mvp, has only 31 first votes this year, which is only 2 more than Olajuwon, which is second in the regular season mvp this year. Zhang, Olajuwon has 29 first votes
Stockton and Linhan have 27 and 24 respectively. The Jazz won a total of 82 first votes this year. Based on this team’s record this year, if it’s not because of Olajuwon’s performance Against the sky, and Pippen also led the Bulls to counterattack and became the third in the East to get 6 first votes. The Jazz should have more first votes, and even more than 100 is not impossible.
It's just obvious that even if there are only more than 80 first votes, but if they are all placed on a certain player, then it is easy enough to win the mvp, but if all three people share the more than 80 votes, It is very likely that there will be a very big problem, just like this time~EbookFREE.me~Although Malone won the mvp, but the first vote is only two more than Olajuwon, even the score is only It's just that Olajuwon has 55 more points, which is a very weak gap.
However, although Malone is a bit thrilling to win the regular season mvp, and even so close that the league does not know what to do, if the Jazz really let the regular season mvp fall because of the three core votes, then this year's nba selection will have a joke Too.
Of course, although the missed regular-season mvp this year made Lin Han or Stockton have some regrets, but soon, Lin Han harvested his most important personal honor this season, he became the best rookie of this year's nba and Selected for the rookie first team, and Stockton also received a personal award, some tasteless ibm award.
And while the Jazz swept up and down the major awards of the nba regular season this year, the next opponent of the Jazz finally came out on May 9, 1994. David Robinson, who was mad at the Warriors at home, relied on his own super strength. After chasing his strength for two consecutive games, he went to the Spurs' home. This crazy offensive team once again caused the Alamo Arena to fall. 89 to 117. The Spurs lost to the Warriors in the first five battles. Round out.
The Warriors have become the Jazz's next opponent. (To be continued...) ()
