Vol 2 Chapter 240: What are you afraid of? !

(Chapter 2, there will be a third chapter later)
When the starting players of the Jazz and Warriors continued to play in the fourth quarter, there were 9 minutes left in the game. Originally, according to the performance of the substitute players of the two sides, the Jazz were slightly dominant. Very good, but after all, this team lacks a second-place head. Tim Hardaway is still lying on the hospital bed. In this case, it is really thicker than the real person. The Warriors' starting player is really not bad. But the substitutes are indeed worse. Even after coming to the playoffs, David Wesley's performance so far is not very satisfactory, but Elliott's performance is not bad.
Therefore, the reason why the two teams decided to fight ahead is that the Warriors coach Nielsen called a timeout before and was ready to change to the starter. So at the end of the third quarter, it was only a three-point lead in three minutes. After the bench game, the Jazz's leading score returned to 5 points, 95 to 90, but for a team like the Warriors, the difference is only the gap between the two offensive hits, so the Jazz and the Warriors The current gap is basically not a gap, even if the Jazz players are very clear.
And for the first offense that ended after the timeout, the Warriors successfully used Chris Mullin's perfect shot to make two points. After a very good team cooperation, Webber at the free throw line received the ball and broke through the basket. Cleverly smashing the ball into the hands of Chris Muwenlin, he has been paying attention to RJ Russell who is doing Pj Brown to defend Webber, and he has not fully noticed Mullin’s running position. In the face of the league’s most capable superstar, . Russell has some shortcomings in experience, after all, this is his first playoff trip.
"Brian, don't be discouraged. That's not your fault"
Looking at Brian Russell who was played by Chris Mullin almost once again, Stockton said helplessly that the Warriors' offense just did not blame Russell. According to common sense, Weber broke through pj Brown successfully The assist defense should definitely not be an outside player assist defense, it should definitely be an inside player to assist defense, but Malone was held back by Owens at that time simply could not return. As for Brian Russell, he is not the Celtics Russell, he can come back to make defense to allow Weber to pass the ball. This has proved that he is very hard to put in defense. It’s just that for the first round of this series, Weber can play a quasi-triple double inside line. The Jazz are really helpless up and down. A center that can break through and can shoot and pass is really difficult to prevent. This is from the last round of the Navy. The admiral even broke Webber offense. There is also no way to see Weber's offense. You know, David Robinson is one of the strongest single defense players in the league.
"This team is really amazing"
Finally, Lin Han shook his head and looked at the Warriors bench. Lin Han actually understood some of Jerry Sloan’s conservative ideas at this time. With the defensive capabilities of Russell and Pj Brown, the Warriors’ Chris Mu Both Lin and Weber want to do what they want. If they really want to withdraw these two men, what can we do if the Jazz can't make a defensive crash? Even if Lin Han goes to the inside, he can really strengthen the team's defense in the defense. But if Lin Han appeared in the power forward position, the Jazz pushed Chris Mullin to the power forward position. Pulled directly outside the three-point line, will Lin Han follow? If Chris Mullin doesn’t attack, just follow Lin Han and let Sprewell come. What should I do? If Lin Han is playing center, will the Warriors pull Chris Webber out, will Lin Han follow?
One of the disgusting things about this group of Warriors players is that they not only can hold the ball, they can pass the ball, and most of the players are also accurate in shooting. The range of attack is really very wide, and if they are really released They can really make it. Look at Chris Mullin’s playoff average of close to 60%. You can know that although the Spurs are not very offensive, they are really good defensive players, except for Mu. Outside of Lin, like Weber’s shooting percentage also exceeded 55%, Owens’ shooting percentage also exceeded 50%, and even the worst shot of Avery Johnson had a 52% shooting rate. Sprewell's shooting percentage is the lowest, only 44%, but this guy has always been the Warriors' most hated player. Facing the Spurs' hatred of attracting the entire Spurs team, they can get 44% in nearly 20 shots per game. The hit rate is actually not low.
So, when thinking of this, Lin Han really felt that the Warriors team was really as disgusting as old Nielsen. Although such a team is difficult to fight for the championship, any A team will be very helpless and speechless when they encounter them.
Of course, although the Warriors have caught up with another 2 points, the Jazz are still leading, so the Jazz players on the field except for Malone have some bad looks, the mood of everyone else is normal, even if disgusted by Old Nelson Stockton and Lin Han in a game are now in a normal mood, especially Lin Han. After scoring 48 points in the third quarter, Lin Han knows that he does consume a lot on the offensive end now. It used to be high, but if old Nielsen continues to let him go, he will really take a 60 points to make this old man disgusting. The players who scored 60 points in the NBA playoffs belong to El in addition to Jordan’s 63 points. Kim Belle had 61 points in the finals. If Lin Han really took a 60, the old guy would definitely not be in a good mood.
"Huh, I want to see who is sick in the end"
When thinking of this, Lin Han went to the frontcourt with Malone after watching pj Brown serving the bottom line and Stockton ready to catch the ball. At this time Lin Han's heart was really full of fighting spirit.
It's just obvious that Lin Han's idea is still too sweet. Since the old Nelson dare to let Lin Han go, how could he fail to take this into consideration, although Lin Han's performance in this game exceeded his expectations and scored quickly 60 points went, actually in the prediction of Old Nelson, when he was about to launch his final blow against the Jazz. Lin Han scored more than 40 points in this game, but definitely not more than 50 points.
"Hey, are you guys going in the wrong place? The person you are looking for is over there"
After Lin Han and Malone came to the frontcourt. The two stood on the three-point line on the right, and the other went silently to the free-throw line to wait for Stockton, and when Lin Han stood on the 45-point three-point line on the right, let Lin Han was a little speechless. Owens, who should have defended Malone, appeared between him and Malone at this time. Although he still stood by Malone, the fool can see who the player Owens is facing. . This guy is facing someone else or Lin Han!
"Boy, without your reminding, I didn't find the wrong person"
Lin Han finished with a puzzled expression. When Malone didn't know what was the situation, when Stockton dribble came to the frontcourt, when he saw that Malone had been strictly guarded at this time, he actually had a lot of offensive space, but the offensive space was extremely abundant. At this time, almost all of the Warriors' team defenses were facing Lin Han while shrinking. This makes the Jazz point guard. Perhaps the league's top IQ players are a bit dazed for a while.
Although Stockton looked a little ignorant at this time, as a point guard instinct, he still chose to pass the ball in his hand to Malone who was standing at the free throw line at this time, and Malone received the ball After that, I prepared all the Warriors players to pass the ball before the rush, but after waiting for a long time, none of the Warriors players froze, and he got the ball at the position of the free throw line. Except for Avery Johnson standing beside him, all other Warriors players are locked inside.
The Warriors actually used Avery Johnson to defend him? Owens is not far away though. But this guy is obviously Lin Han!
And looking at himself, Avery Johnson, who was more than 20 centimeters shorter than himself, Malone’s face really changed and changed. The old guy Nielsen played with him in the first three quarters, and he didn’t want him to connect the ball. Receiving the ball, although making Malone rarely score very little face, but at least it proves that Malone is the most threatening player of the Jazz. For Malone, he can also find a source of happiness. Well, now, The Warriors actually defended him with a third-class disability like Avery Johnson. What does that mean? To make it clear is to despise his shot, or that Malone's shot does not pose any threat to the Warriors, as long as Malone does not break through, he can shoot whatever he wants.
When thinking of this, as the best Jazz player on the field now, Malone almost didn't look at other people at this time. His face was very ugly. When he faced Avery Johnson's defense, it was a free throw line. The distance shot, and when this mid-range shot was thrown out and the blue neck was smashed, the angry Malone, who had just looked angry at this time, was already dumbfounded at this time, and the fans of the Jazz on the spot saw their own team. When the player was in his most tenacious position, facing a defensive player 20 cm shorter than him, when he was so ironed, the fans of the jazz team who had just been crazy at the scene were all calm in the iron sound of Malone this time. Down.
"Just the ball was cast by Carl just now? Is it deceptive? It looks a lot crooked, and the ball is thrown from the side basket?"
"Now Carl's feel is not good, very bad, if he is usually he will never throw such a middle distance!"
After a moment of silence, the Jazz fans in the audience were in an uproar, and Malone, who failed to shoot and was grabbed by Mullin and rebounded. At this time, while watching his hands a little dazed, the Warriors' fast break had already started. In terms of the Warriors' offense, they don't care what Malone feels at this time.
"Karl, don't be dazed, come back!"
When Malone was in a daze, Avery Johnson, who had just been defending Malone, had already rushed to the front at this time, and Mullin’s pass had already arrived at the warrior’s 1.80 point guard, although Lin At the moment when Moulin passed the ball, he used the ubiquitous prejudgement to know that Moulin's pass was going to chase Avery Johnson. Even the acceleration skills of courage were used, but the height of Avery Johnson was true. Not high, but the speed of these short players is really not slow, and what makes Lin Han more speechless is that he chased Avery Johnson in front, and Avery Johnson and his back are only followed by another one. Player Sprewell. As Sprewell, who defended Linhan, Linhan predicted that Mullin's pass was started in advance to chase Avery Johnson. Although Sprewell was shocked by Linhan's reaction speed. But his response was also not slow. After Lin Han started, he also caught up. Now the situation is that Lin Han is alone with Avery Johnson and Sprewell's middle defense two people!
Although Lin Han yelled at Malone when he started chasing Avery Johnson, but this guy could not get back in place. Lin Han was not sure.
I have to say that Lin Han still has a foresight. Malone's return defense is indeed not in place, not only not in place. After hearing the big drink from Lin Han, this guy turned around and looked at Lin Han and Johnson, and Sprewell had already gone away. At this time, it wasn't Malone but Stockton. It's just that the defender is too far away.
So when Lin Han saw two steps in the free throw line and saw Avery Johnson jumping, using Chamberlain's lock-up block to predict that this guy was jumping to prepare for the back pass, Lin Han didn't even jump, but immediately. The traverse was blocked between Avery Johnson and Sprewell, but Lin Han was depressed. After seeming to feel Lin Han's action. Avery Johnson's right hand, which was originally about to pass, flicked into a layup
And this is one of the most speechless things in one defense, Chamberlain's locked cap is a single defense skill, perhaps the strongest one-on-one defense skill, but if it is a defense two, if Avery Johnson is not mentally retarded or a rookie Lin Lin’s obvious pre-judgment action would be blind if he couldn’t see it. If he saw it and continued to pass the ball to Sprewell, it would be an idiot.
So this time Lin Han saw the smile of Avery Johnson who had just made a layup, and Lin Han's face also became very ugly.
Lin Han really didn't expect to restart after the fourth quarter. The Warriors actually began to pinch him, and did not expect Malone's mid-range shooting to be so outrageous. Not to mention Lin Han didn't even think of Malone himself.
And when the Jazz failed in the last attack, this time when they continued to attack, now there is only one point left, and when Lin Han continued to be pinched by the Warriors, Stockton watched A glance at Malone, no need to pick and roll this Jazz player has a lot of shooting opportunities, with Stockton's character, this time he has long passed the ball to Malone, but this time he looked at the sidelines and there was one The difference between the points, this time when the Jazz's head guard bit his teeth and saw Avery Johnson standing on the free throw line next to Malone who was about to take the ball, Stockton pulled up and stood up. After shooting a jumper outside the three-point line, and after seeing Stockton, a player whose pass is the first priority, with such a defensive shot, Lin Han and Malone's face also changed again, Lin Han was a little surprised, Malone, however, has a somewhat uncomfortable complexion, which is rather ugly.
However, with Stockton's three-point vacancy, the original one-point difference also became a four-point, but this time although the three-pointer hit, but Stockton can not be a little happy, because He is very clear that his scoring is definitely not the key to this game. If Lin Han and Malone can't score points, then this game is facing an extremely offensive warrior, the Jazz team cannot win.
"Crazy, it's a crazy game. It seems that the Warriors' defense in the fourth quarter has changed dramatically! Lin Han, who was weak in defense, was surrounded by the Warriors' defensive players at this time, but the defense was originally very tight. At this time, Malone, who was strictly guarded for more than three quarters, was actually released by the Warriors. Old Nelson made a great reversal in the team’s defensive strategy in the fourth quarter!"
When the game continued in the fourth quarter, although the Jazz were still leading, but when the Warriors' defensive strategy changed, the Jazz's unfitness soon appeared, when the Jazz need Stockton's scoring When you can maintain the lead of the game, this is definitely the most dangerous time for the Jazz. At this time, Collins on the sidelines was also very nervous at this time, and Larry Bird on the side was also surprised. Constantly looking at the coach of the Warriors sitting on the sidelines.
"Is this what Nelson Nielsen wanted? To pinch Malone for three quarters, let Malone's offensive state to the lowest point, let go of Malone, and then pinch Linhan when Linhan's offensive momentum reached the highest point?"
When thinking of this, Larry Bird looked a little unnatural. With Lin Han's character, when his offensive momentum reached its zenith, let alone two or three defend him. Even if the opponent's entire team defends him, this guy may not dare to forcibly attack. If Lin Han really faces the Warriors' defensive forcible attack at this time, then Lin Han's offensive efficiency at this time, the final result It's hard to imagine.
"This old guy is really awesome. This is to make Lin Han and Malone guilty of losing the first game. This guy is too ruthless."
When I think of here. Larry Bird watched Lin Han and Malone on the court constantly asking for Stockton, one was defended by the other team, and the other was pinched by the opponent for three quarters. No offensive status is gone. If it wasn't for Stockton, some things have been seen at this time, so although his offense is not good, he still took over the game forcibly. I am afraid that the playoff nightmare of Malone and Lin Han will begin.
"Although before the game. Old Nelson said that this game will not do too much defensive arrangements against Lin Han and Malone on the defensive end, but I have to say that this game so far, old Nelson's defense against the Jazz is almost It’s perfect. In the fourth quarter, the two superstars of the Jazz fell into a downturn offensive, and it changed the offensive play of the Jazz."
Old Nielsen's tactics in this game were not only disgusting Malone and Lin Han or pit Malone and Lin Han, but more importantly, even if they were not pitting Malone and Lin Han. In the fourth quarter, the Jazz playing the superstar tactics will completely change the offensive tactics, and now it has become Stockton's offense.
The Jazz players are really uncomfortable playing on the court at this time. Old Nielsen's tactics really made the Jazz players on the field extremely uncomfortable. Malone and Lin Han frantically asked for the ball, but Stockton did not pass, and the team's offense was all deliberately released by Stockton. In the process, but Stockton's offensive ability, even if his shot is really good, he can hit the first goal, the second goal but it is difficult to hit all the time, this guy's career score is only 34 points, although he Has an offensive ability, but he was not a scorer who can continue to attack and continue to score. Let him and the Warriors score points. Lin Han and the Warriors can score three quarters, but Stockton can’t. Not to mention Biao three quarters, even if Biao three minutes will directly wither.
In fact, when the fourth quarter came within six minutes, the Jazz, who had been leading the game in the whole game, actually hit a mid-range shot from Malone. The Warriors overcame the score 102 to 101. .
And the moment the Warriors overtake the score for the first time in the fourth quarter, at this time Jerry Sloan, who was standing and commanding on the sidelines, seemed to feel that his last atrium was broken. The same former nba best coach The Jazz assistant coach Phil Johnson's face has also completely changed at this time. For the Jazz, the play when the score is leading and the play when the score is behind are completely different!
And when the official timeout came, when the Jazz came off the court, this time the Jazz bench did not say that the players on the court looked very unsightly, even sitting on the sidelines. The same is true for these Jazz's substitutes. The whole game is leading, and it will be overtaken when there are six minutes left at the end. This is absolutely impossible to accept.
Even before this, Lin Han was ready to open McGrady and he would have to disgust old Nielsen, but at the last thought of the character at 20 o'clock, Lin Han still suppressed his anger.
However, Lin Han returned to the bench and took a towel from Aron Williams and threw it fiercely into his seat. At this time, like Lin Han, Malone’s face was also not very good-looking. Even if it's stupid, what happened in the past three minutes still makes him very clear that he and Lin Han have been pitted by the old guy of the Warriors, and they really have no way after being pitted at this time.
What tactics did Nielsen play in this game? It was already clear at this time. The players of the Jazz knew that Jerry Sloan knew it. So, when the players of the Jazz were suspended this time and returned to their seats, all Without speaking, they were waiting for Jerry Sloan's final arrangement.
However, at this time, Jerry Sloan naturally knew that the team had reached a very dangerous situation at this time. If it does not change, it will really lose. If Jerry Sloan knew that his tactics were not the best, at least not for the Jazz, but at least the team has been leading. As long as the team can win, even if there is a problem with his style of play, there is no problem.
Now that the team has fallen behind, then his style of play must be changed, but how does this tactic change in the end? Jeremy Sloan really has no confidence.
Jeremy Sloan is very afraid of failure, and even more so than the Jazz players. Because he knew that he was carrying the team with the first record in league history. At the end of the regular season, he was called the first team in history, although it was a huge honor. But this is also a huge pressure.
Even this kind of pressure has made Jerry Sloan feel breathless for a while. Originally, the team could have won all the time. Any doubt can he pretend not to see, and if the team loses. So what are the consequences? Jerry Sloan couldn't imagine it.
So when I think of it here. Jerry Sloan's look has been changing, and when looking at his coach's face at this time, his face is constantly changing but has been silent, the jazz players are also somewhat helpless at this time, have to say that this coach has been coaching the jazz for five years The head coach is indeed not a qualified head coach of the first team in history.
"Coach, what the are you afraid of!"
Just when many Jazz players looked helplessly at Jerry Sloan, Lin Han actually stood up directly from his position and then yelled at Jerry Sloan in the astonishment of all Jazz players.
And Lin Han's loud roar obviously interrupted Jerry Sloan's crankiness at this time.
"What the am I afraid of?"
However, after waking up, Jerry Sloan looked at Lin Han's angry but disappointed look at this time, as well as other Jazz players' extremely disappointed look. At this time Jerry Sloan felt himself a little defeated.
As the team's head coach, he actually let the team's players show such eyes.
Of course, after seeing Jerry Sloan roared by himself. Lin Han was also really helpless at this time. He didn’t think of angering Jerry Sloan. In fact, as long as this game can win, this series of games can win. He doesn’t care about Jerry Sloan’s increasing caution. Who Nor does it stipulate that the head coach of the championship team must be the head coach of the championship level. The lack of the head coach of the championship team is not new. However, it is clear that the Jazz have no way because of the head coach of the team. Won the game.
So after Lin Han’s roar, although the other players of the Jazz were surprised, no one said that Lin Han was wrong, and even Stockton showed his admiration at this time, if not he did not Fit, the point guard of the Jazz may already have taken the lead.
However, although Jerry Sloan was not in a daze at this time, his face was still silent, and everyone was waiting for the team's final choice.
"I know"
When Jerry Sloan read it several times on the faces of all Jazz players, the Jazz coach finally made the final choice, and after Jerry Sloan made the final decision, the Jazz players included Lin Han It also looks relaxed.
Jerry Sloan is a very conservative head coach, but this does not mean that he is a mediocre with no ability. Since he chooses to change, then there is nothing to be afraid of. Since the players of the Jazz are willing to go crazy once, Then he has nothing to worry about.
At the end of the timeout, when the Jazz players changed dramatically, the Jazz fans on the sidelines exclaimed when they looked at the re-played Jazz players.
"Mayfair, do you say we can win this game?"
When watching these jazz players walk towards the field, looking at their backs, Jerry Sloan said with a sigh. At this time, his look was a bit disappointed. It can be seen that the decision just made was a bit difficult for him.
"I don't know if the team can win this game, but one thing I know, even if the team loses, the players will not blame you."
Looking at his brother, Mayfair Johnson said with a smile on his face, and after Mayfair Johnson finished speaking, Jerry Sloan fell into a silence for a moment.
"Mayfair, I think you are more suitable than me to be the head coach of this team"
After a brief silence ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Jerry Sloan gave a deep glance at his friend and said, but this time Mayfair Johnson just smiled and shook his head.
"If I came to be the head coach of this team, this team should have been messed up for a long time."
Thinking of what happened to the team this season, Mayfair Johnson finally looked at Jerry Sloan and said with a smile, although he is also the best coach of NBA, although it is indeed more open than Jerry Sloan, he does not have Jerry Sloan. Such a ruthless heart, it was just that Jerry Sloan decisively won Jeff Malone and let Lin Han get on the horse.
For this jazz team that exceeds everyone's imagination, Jerry Sloan is not the best head coach, and he is not a good candidate.
Of course, at this time, Jerry Sloan and Mayfair Johnson both sighed on the sidelines and Lin Han came to the field without any sighs at this time.
"Old guy, I want to see if you come to disgust me or I disgust you in this game, hum"
Lin Han, who was back on the court, looked at the old man in front of the Warriors bench with a sneer on his face. (To be continued...) ()
