Vol 2 Chapter 236: Jazz and Warriors

(Relationship book friend Xiao Tian is regarded as the head of this book, congratulations congratulations o(n_n)o~~)
At 8 o'clock on the evening of May 10, 1994, the Delta Center, the home stadium of the Jazz, was already full at this time. Although this season, as long as the Delta Center is open for the Jazz, this stadium has always been full.
But today’s situation is a little special, because this year the Jazz did not have any games at home, but these jazz fans are still so crazy because today they will witness another historic event for the team. Tonight the Delta Center Arena will Karl Malone, the first player to win the regular season mvp in the team's history, will hold a grand celebration. As this year's regular season mvp, Karl Malone will also make his own award speech today.
And this is definitely a very rare event for the Utah Jazz fans. At this time, standing on the temporary podium set up in the middle of the stadium, Karl Malone is expressing his winning speech with excitement. The other team coaches and managers are all sitting on the court under the high platform and watching Malone.
Of course, Lin Han, who is a member of the Jazz, was naturally sitting on the stage at this time and enviously looked at Malone who was tearing in the eyes on the stage. Although Lin Han knew that it was difficult for him to get the regular season mvp this season, But after all, this is not a complete lack of opportunity. After this year's regular season voting, he still ranked fourth, after Malone, Olajuwon and Stockton, but a team is not the boss It’s too difficult for players to get the NBA. This can be seen from Pippen. Even if this guy performed so well this season, he took the Bulls to the third place in the East, and there is no better than Olajuwon in the record. The Rockets are poor, and Pippen was also selected to the first team and the first defensive team. The Bulls' influence is also greater than that of the Rockets, but when voting, Olajuwon can threaten Malone. Almost succeeded in counterattack, and Pippen couldn't even compare Lin Han.
With a bull without Jordan in the regular season record tied with the bull with Jordan last season. In this record, Pippen only took 6 first votes, only one fifth of Olajuwon. This is definitely related to the performance of the team’s record players, but because it is now in the big In the minds of some people, this year's ambition to rise after Jordan left did not want to be the second grandfather. Pippen is still deeply entrenched in most people's hearts. Even if Jordan is gone, he is still the second grandfather. The second man of a team can’t get mvp.
Although it is said that Lin Han's status in the Jazz is higher than that of Pippen in the Bulls, it is not a pure second-hand. However, in the eyes of many people, Lin Han may not be the head of the Jazz, even if they are jazz fans. Don’t think so, even when the season is about to end, Lin Han and Malone’s performance is not much worse or almost the same, and Stockton is slightly inferior to Lin Han and Malone, but in the final vote At that time, although Lin Han got a lot of votes, more people still chose Malone or even Stockton. Lin Han is only ranked third, although it has been compared to the stereotypes, it can’t wash away the reputation of ‘Second Lord’ Pippen. Lin Han is also much luckier.
However, although he was luckier than Pippen but did not win the rookie regular season mvp like Chamberlain and Unseld, Lin Han still felt a little regret. In performance, he did not lose to these two predecessors, but Lin Han still did not have this The two were lucky. After all, the two of them quickly became the boss of their respective teams when they approached NBA, but Lin Han still had two big guys on his head.
"Lin, is it a pity that you are not on the stage today"
Just when Lin Han looked at Ma Long's eyes full of envy and jealousy. At this time, Stockton, who was sitting on the side of Lin Han, still looked at Malone intently, but the corner of his mouth moved slightly. And Lin Han also recovered after hearing Stockton's words.
"Well, I'm really sorry"
After a little thought. Lin Han said with a sigh, but it made Lin Han a little surprised that Stockton didn't respond after he answered, and after a moment, when Lin Han looked back, Stoke Although there was still a smile on Dunton's face, his eyes were full of loneliness.
"I also feel sorry, but I know that I can't stand on that platform in my life." After feeling Lin Han's gaze, Stockton's voice said a little misty, which made Lin Han not sure about this. What was the mood of the black belly man with a smile on his face at this time, but another sentence of the Jazz's head guard made Lin Han become very surprised and surprised again.
"Although I don't have any chance anymore, Lin, sooner or later you will be able to stand on that platform like Karl"
After the head guard of the Jazz finished, Lin Han didn't quite understand that the black-bellied man could say things so surely, and when Lin Han turned his head complexly and looked at Malone on the stage again, this time Malone 'S speech is almost over.
"I still imagine a guy who came out of a town with a population of less than 300 people, a child whose father committed suicide at a very young age, and a loser who once walked to the end of the basketball road countless times can become one day. nba's best player, thank you, my cutest'stupid' teammates"
After Ma Long finished his last remarks, when he saw everyone around him standing up, and all the fans on the sidelines stood up and applauded, Lin Han also stood up, although Lin Han still said at this time Applauding, but at this time his gaze was not actually on Malone, but on the MVP of the regular season at Malone, and at this time, his eyes had not left the trophy on the stage. Lin Han did not pay attention at this time. There were reporters taking pictures around, and did not notice that a reporter actually took Lin Han’s gaze to the mvp trophy, and the photographer who took this photo did not think about this photo. What impact will it have after waiting out.
Seeing the successful Malone at the Malone's mvp speech, Lin Han was really full of envy and jealousy, but fortunately his harvest was still very great this season, at least after the wave of awards in the league passed, Lin The amount of milestone rewards remaining in Han's hands surprised Lin Han himself.
All-Star Main Event mvp rewards a silver milestone
The best lineup rewards a silver milestone
Regular season scoring champion rewards a silver milestone
NBA Best Rookie Award Silver Milestone
Best defensive burst rewards a bronze milestone
The best rookie awards a bronze milestone
Three bronze milestones for the best rookie awards in February, March and April
Now Lin Han has 4 silver milestones and 5 bronze milestone rewards!
After the All-Star game, Lin Han had been thinking about playing a big one. So I always hope to get the regular season mvp, so that I can directly come to the big, after all, the regular season mvp is a golden milestone reward.
but. Although no golden milestone award regular season mvp can be obtained, the five silver-level awards can also be combined into a gold-level award. And now Lin Han already has four silver-level awards, although there is a difference of one silver, but there are still five bronze-level awards. Five bronze-level rewards are combined into one silver.
So now Lin Han has also synthesized a golden level milestone reward!
The golden level milestone reward allows Lin Han to choose to do two things. One is to use this golden milestone to exchange for a silver-level special lottery. It is possible to draw many good special items, while the other One way is to find a legendary player of the gold level, and then draw a skill on this player.
Bronze level milestone draw Bronze players have 70 chances to draw silver skills, and 20% draw above silver skills. The silver level is a 70% chance of drawing gold, and 20% or more of gold, and the milestone reward of the gold level is 10% of the gold skills, 90% of the gold level or more.
At that time, when Lin Han found a group of gold-level legendary players in the gold-level milestone he used to synthesize, he was almost dumbfounded, because as long as Lin Han was willing, he could draw a lot of good things, such as gold-level legendary players. Stockton, with a 90% chance of drawing Zijin skills, as long as Linhan chooses Stockton, then Stockton’s strongest passing skills or vision skills Linhan can almost 100% Draw one. If you are really lucky to draw Stockton's vision skills, that's great.
Of course, except for Stockton. Like Garnett, who is very familiar with Lin Han, is also a gold-level legendary player. Lin Han already has a purple-gold skill of Garnett, so if this reward is used on Garnett, as long as Garnett still has Other purple gold skills, Lin Han can also draw, if the time comes with a skill that matches the overall rebounding skill, then it will be very good.
So at this time Lin Han was a little hesitant. I didn't know for a moment whether he should use this self-generated'big' reward to draw a vision skill or to get a special item like a talent title.
However, Lin Han is not very anxious now. After all, whether it is vision skills or talent titles is not the most important thing now.
Now for Jazz and Lin Han, the most important thing is naturally the second round of the playoffs with the Warriors. The second round of the playoffs for the Jazz and Warriors began on May 11th, which is tomorrow.
Only for the public opinion circle of NBA now. Playing the Warriors in the second round of the Jazz is not the most eye-catching thing. Even Malone's announcement of his mvp award speech at the Delta Center is not the most concerned thing.
What has attracted the most attention from the American media or NBA public opinion and fans in the past two days is that the various other counterattacks that appeared in the first round of the East and West playoffs and the following shocks that made people almost stunned!
Although the Rockets and the Suns, the Spurs and the Warriors are not very clear and fierce duels in the first round of the playoffs this year, most of the duels are relatively strong duels, so in the playoffs When the round has not yet begun, almost every nba media and experts have not thought that there will be so many accidents in the first round of the playoffs.
If the Jazz were forced to lose their rhythm by the Trail Blazers, it was a big accident, and the Spurs' defeat of the Warriors 2 to 3 was a big accident. Then these two accidents are true compared to other airport games. It's a little witch seeing a big witch.
As far as the west is concerned, the second supersonic in the west faces the seventh Nuggets in the west. Who would have thought that this matchup would be an accident?
In particular, the Supersonics won the first two home games and won the Nuggets 34 points in two games. Who would have thought that the Supersonics would lose three games in a row, and the Nuggets' Black Sevens succeeded? Who would have thought that the Nuggets' first two ordinary defensive insiders, Mutombo, suddenly seemed to be awakened or suddenly realized in the last three games. In the last three games, 6 blocks, 8 blocks and 8 blocks were sent. Mutombo, who averaged more than 7 blocks per game, almost collapsed the supersonic.
In the end, when the Nuggets overwhelmed the score with a 0-2 drop and counterattacked the supersonics, the entire league of NBA was crazy, and even the awarding season of NBA was covered up by this news.
In addition to the Nuggets playing a counterattack at 0-2, the other game in the west, the Sun and the Rockets game, the Sun also under the great situation of 2-0 lead, like the Supersonics, the Rockets completed the reverse Attack.
You know, when the Suns lead the Rockets 2-0. At that time, I was extremely excited. Barkley, who thought that the team’s successful defeat strategy in the regular season, directly told reporters that they were already considering their next opponent when they took a 2-0 lead in an interview after the game. When Lee said this, no one raised doubts, and from now on, Barkley, who has always liked to challenge character, once again lost to the miracle, or simply said that he lost to the sudden burst of Aura Zhu Wang, in the last three games, Olajuwon scored 26 points, 15 rebounds, 6 assists and 6 blocks. 28 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists and 5 blocks, 37 points, 17 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks.
At the end of the first round of Lin Han's series, many fans were laughing at the super rookie's madness in scoring nearly 5x5 numbers when facing the Blazers. In fact, Olajuwon, who is the king of the league 5x5, although he did not play 5x5 data in any game, but almost every game is close to 5x5, and the average data is even more terrifying than Lin Han.
However, compared with the supersonic and Nuggets counterattacks that shocked the United States, the counterattacks of the Suns and Rockets are still acceptable. After all, the Rockets are the third in the West, this team does not pretend to die. At that time it was really very powerful.
Of course, the Western Conference played counterattacks in this year's playoffs, and although the Eastern Conference did not have as many counterattacks as the Western Conference, it was heartbeat. In addition to the Knicks and the Jazz easily beat the eighth heat in the East, the other three heads-up play all heartbeat.
For example, the Eagles, the second-largest team in the East, hit the Nets. The first game lost, if not the Nets defender Jeff Malone two-pointer failed. This second team from the East will be eliminated in the first round just like the Bulls.
In the first round of the playoffs this year, which matchup played the most heartbeat? There is no doubt that it is definitely the duel between the Pacers and the Bulls, or the match between Pippen and Reggie Miller.
It can be said that when Reggie Miller shouted Jordan's name after the Bulls defeated the Bulls in the first game of the two teams in the playoffs, this guy staged a very classic boos action, Pippen and Reggie Le are fighting, or the Pacers and Bulls are doing it.
What kind of player is Reggie Miller? The last time this guy was selected for the All-Star game was 4 years ago. This guy only averaged 20 points per game during the regular season. In the age of talent, this guy can’t even make the best team for three teams, but one of this guy The characteristic is that Jordan has a headache, or that Jordan’s most feared player in the past three years has one of the most headache players, one of the most feared is Olajuwon, and the most headache is Reggie Miller, this guy can average 20 points per game in the regular season, but in the playoffs can average more than 30 points, regular-season three-point shooting percentage can start 40%, but in the final three-point shooting percentage can reach 50% or even It’s 60%. When faced with opponents who aren’t very strong, this guy will even have some dead dogs. However, when confronted with opponents like the New York gang and Jordan, this guy is a lunatic.
Therefore, when Pippen personally confronted Reggie Miller and wanted to block the Pacers boss, he finally made Pippen very embarrassed or very angry that Reggie Miller was in the fifth game, under his eyelids. Suddenly slipped out of his side to complete a super lore that ended the series.
Although after the game, Pippen complained that Reggie Miller pushed him. It was a foul, but the result of the game was determined. Even if Pippen complained, there was no way to wash away the fact that he led the team to Black Six. Even when Reggie Miller finished his lore in front of Pippen, the Bulls fans chanted Jordan's return. Pippen's face is extremely ugly. He knows that if Jordan returns at this time, then he will really miss the most important opportunity in his life, and the title of Pi Er will be with him throughout his life.
Of course, the Bulls and Pacers are playing heartbeat. Every game is almost on the verge of lore and lore, and it is also very dramatic in the end with Reggie Miller lore. This is a very classic series.
The other showdown is the fourth Magic in the East and the fifth Cavaliers. This is a funny match, or O'Neal.
When Lin Han and Webb and Hardaway three super young people showed very good performance in their first playoff trip in their career, O'Neal, who has become a new center, is simply too funny. Too.
Or O'Neal is usually very funny in life, but this funny guy outside the court is not funny at all, but a domineering existence, but when he encounters a group of ball ruff inside the Cavaliers, this The Magic's players are not only a little funny outside the court, but also very funny inside the court.
The Cavaliers are fifth in the East, and their strength is inferior to the Magic. This is inevitable. But if O'Neal averages 29+13+3 per game in the regular season, the playoffs are 20 points per game, 13 rebounds, just 50% shooting, and the foul is more than 5 per game. Can win. In the tune of Cavaliers Larinans, the old ball roaring all-stars who are about to retire [under the play, the Magic’s leading insider was sent off 2 times in five games, and the two magics all lost, the other three Although the game was not sent off, but also on the verge of being sent off, this guy just ate a technical foul three times in this series of rounds.
Although the Magic eventually eliminated the Cavaliers 3-2, it is clear that for O'Neal, he is quite dissatisfied. Although it depends on him whether the Magic can win, it is not all about how good he does not want to be. It all depends on whether he will be sent off.
Of course, O'Neill, the young fourth center, performed very badly on his first playoff journey. In this world where the inside players are still very powerful, even if O’Neal really has great potential, but in the face of a group of three center centers who have been baptized for countless years and even received the baptism of the inside elders of the peak Jabal and Moses Malone, The Magic's leading player still needs to learn a lot.
No, in any case, after the first round is all over, the nba playoffs in the second round of the game are all out. The East Knicks in the East will face the fourth Magic in the East. O'Neill will face another big guy among the three centers after crossing the Cavaliers, and the Eagles second in the East will face the sixth Pacers in the East. Although the Pacers are not ranked high, But it killed the Bulls.
On the western side, in addition to the Jazz and Warriors, another matchup is naturally the dark horse team Nuggets and the champion hot Rockets.
On May 11, 1994, the day after Malone delivered his mvp speech yesterday, the Jazz will face the Warriors today.
The Jazz, who have rested for a week, have a physical advantage compared to the Warriors who just finished the top five with the Spurs on May 9th, but they also have a disadvantage in the state of the game. In general, the war with the Warriors is definitely More difficult than the Blazers.
Of course, the Jazz knows this, and others naturally know this very well, so on the day of the game between the Jazz and the Warriors, when the Warriors came to Salt Lake City and were interviewed before the game, this time came There are more reporters in Salt Lake City than in the previous round.
After all, in the first round, the Jazz and Trail Blazers did not seem to have much suspense to many people, so many of them are concerned about the Rockets and the Suns or the Warriors and the Spurs, but now, when the nba playoffs are only four games left, Especially these two duels in the West, after Olajuwon and Drexler awakened, after winning three straight games against the Suns. Can the Nuggets compare to the Rockets? It seems that you can spike it.
In this case, almost most of the media now flock to Salt Lake City, there is no way. Although the Jazz have a record in the regular season, many people expect that this team will be able to swept the championship all the way as when they showed the advantage in the regular season. At this time, this team actually made people see their loopholes so quickly, which had to make people look down on the Jazz, and even many people were actually optimistic about the Warriors before this series.
"The Jazz are a very good team, but I have always said that this team is a seriously overrated team, they have no ability to compete for the championship, their weakness is very obvious, Both players and coaches. At least two teams in NBA are better than them, and the Warriors are other teams that are not worse than the Jazz. If you look at the state of the game, I don’t think the Jazz can be in the second round. Win, the Warriors will use their offense to defeat the Jazz"
As one of the largest Lin Hei in the United States, the former New York Knicks legend Willis Reed, in an interview with the New York Times, almost did not hesitate to express his disdain for the Jazz, but in fact in In the first round of the Jazz and Blazers game, as the studio's guest, the Knicks' fame was often pinched in the studio and the Jazz's fame, Dantley, for most of the time. When others hear Willis Reed's evaluation of the Jazz, they will only smile, not at all, because everyone knows how this guy might like jazz. Unless the Jazz swept Lin Han out.
Only this time, the viewpoint of this New York fame seems to have been recognized by many people, and not many people are laughing at his "Community of the Communist Party".
Of course, in addition to the predictions of many media and experts, the Jazz are not very dominant. Compared with the Rockets that have swept the Nuggets to advance before the game, the Jazz's market is really not very good.
It’s not a big deal if you let a lot of media look down. After all, this season, the Jazz have had too much experience, but after coming to Salt Lake City. Even many Warriors players don't look down on this Jazz.
For example, the Warriors' first and second teenager Weber expressed disdain for Lin Han and the Jazz, saying that this round of the series will beat the Jazz just like the previous round.
The Warriors' second-second-two teenager. Lin Han's teammate Spreeville on the Western Conference All-Star also expressed his "dissatisfaction" with Lin Han
"I know Lin is very human, and I appreciate Lin's strength. We have worked together, he is a very good player, but I will prove that I am better than him."
Although Lin Han and Sprewell didn’t know each other, the two of them had exchanges at the end of the All-Star game. The relationship is okay, but it’s obvious that because of the best lineup before this Warriors team The second boy resented Lin Han.
You know, in the selection of the first team, Stockton scored first in the position of the defender, and undoubtedly occupied a position for a while, and the third score in the position of the defender was not someone else. It was the defender of the Warriors who pressed Chris Mullin, the dream team superstar, for a long time on Sprewell on the bench!
In other words, without Lin Han~EbookFREE.me~ he is the first shooting guard this year, he will get another position of a guard outside of Stockton.
And this defender who has successfully competed with Chris Mullin is not comparable to a veteran such as Triport. This season's average player of 21+5+5+2 is the same as Lin Han. An extremely versatile offensive and defensive player with extremely rich offensive means.
Even Lin Han himself knew that it was not a good thing to be targeted by such a guy, and Lin Han also knew that this guy’s character was quite weird. Who would know what would happen after confronting this guy? Things.
Of course, after the Warriors came to Salt Lake City, the players on this team really didn't look down on the Jazz, or the young players on this team were really unique. Warriors coach Nielsen also has a headache.
This Warriors coach is actually not much better than Jerry Sloan. Jerry Sloan has a good relationship with the players, but it seems that he can't get along with the players in tactical play. Old Nelson The relationship with the players is not very good, but the play is very consistent.
So the two of them are now able to meet. (To be continued) ()
