Vol 2 Chapter 248: Alone 1 No 2? !

(Sorry, because the work is too busy in the morning, there is no time to code, so this chapter is late, I am really sorry, the fisherman does not have much time to code every day. After the afternoon work, the chapter in the evening is good, most of the time can still be on time Yes, this chapter in the morning is often difficult to say, but everyone is assured that the one-word update will not change in a day, thank you for your support!)
"Clyde, are you really going to defend Lin Han in this game?"
On the afternoon of May 28, 1994, the visiting team's locker room in the Delta Center Arena in Utah. Now the Rockets have assembled in the locker room to prepare for the training in the afternoon. However, when people are more surprised, the Rockets The situation in the team locker room at this time is completely different from what many people think.
Recently, many Rockets players have been very active, especially the Rockets' outside player Drexler, the league's super guard's "unique player" theory still has a very big impact, and big Part of the impact is that this team is now too arrogant, even the Jazz side thinks that this team has not yet started the game. No one really does not make many people feel good about it.
In this case, even many Rockets-supporting media are saying that this team is too impetuous at this time, but in terms of the current Rockets locker room situation, at this time, almost all of these players are sinking. There is no arrogance on anyone's face, but many Rockets players can see a hint of caution or vigilance on their faces.
"If I don't go up in person, can someone on the team defend Lin Han?".
After Drexler finished speaking. Olajuwon and Tomjanovich also sighed, and Maxwell and Robert Holly lowered their heads in shame.
Because of having a super deterring inside line like Olajuwon, the Rockets' task of defending the super outside line is hardly so difficult. As long as the outside players can keep up with the speed and cover the opponent in height, they only need to block the opponent's peripheral shot. As for the opponent's breakthrough, there is no need to worry too much because the team has Ola Zhu Wang, a defender who can be trusted, is their backing.
So most of the league's superstars, even Jordan, have always struggled with the Rockets. Not even dare to go to the basket, to know that Jordan's breakthrough and the ability to end the basket is absolutely super top, just obviously. Although these outside players of the Rockets can well restrict Jordan's outside shooting, or that Jordan's outside shooting and offense do not need them to limit it, it is also a matter of heaven, so in the face of Jordan or most of the league's super outside At the time, the Rockets' outside players were actually very defensive.
Only Lin Han. This guy is an alien. There is no outside player in the league who has the same level of external lethality. The Warriors are not afraid of throwing three-pointers at long distances or long distances because of their extremely strong offense. Because of the three-point efficiency of Linhan No matter how high it can beat the Warriors’ offensive efficiency, the Warriors’ old Nielsen even let Lin Han to a limited extent, but the Rockets can’t do it. Although this team’s offense is not bad, it’s true with the Warriors. of. Incomparable, even if Lin Han's outside offensive efficiency does not seem to be very high. They also can't care less like the Warriors, because Lin Han's perimeter offensive efficiency can't kill the Warriors. This is true, but they may play dead rockets.
Therefore, the defense of Lin Han in this round of the series has become the top priority. Maxwell’s speed can keep up, but it is too short, and he is shadowed by Lin Han. As for Robert Holly, the height is enough to cover Lin Han is too slow, but as long as Lin Han takes the ball and pulls out three points, three or four steps and a direct step can pass Robert Holly and then he can directly throw three points.
In this case, although the thickness of the Rockets’ lineup is really good, this team still has a lot of problems when facing Lin Han, although Tom Janovic is a little worried about whether Drexler can defend Lin. Afterwards, John was able to go all out on the offensive end, but he has to say that Drexler is indeed the Rockets' best weapon against Lin Han.
Because the player who had the strongest breakthrough in the league and had the glider nickname was not very good at defensive skills, but the strength was fast, the strength was sufficient, and the height was also sufficient. The Rockets did not need him to assist or need to defend. How good is his defensive position, as long as he can keep up with Lin Han, and Drexler's off-ball position is one of the strongest in the league.
"You can rest assured, my physical fitness is now no problem, even if there is no problem with Fang Linhan"
Faced with some worried eyes from teammates and coaches, Drexler said quietly, he had a rest in the regular season, his physical fitness was indeed very abundant, at least they were much better than Olajuwon, and This round of series for the team to win or go home series, there is no need to leave much physical fitness to the finals to use, because now the league's strongest opponent is standing in front of them.
Although they continue to ridicule the Jazz in the media and constantly show their arrogance, this is definitely not their true idea, but just wants younger and more impulsive jazz to make some unconventional It’s just like the last time the two teams confronted each other. After the two Lin Lin and Malone lost their calm because they didn’t know why, the Rockets won with little effort. Although Lin Han and Malone The strength is very strong, but neither of them is a very mature player.
Of course, before Drexler could not talk about how mature, but in this year's playoffs, especially after the Nuggets and Mutombo have blocked six games in the second round, the former Trail Blazers 'S headed player is much more mature now.
At least when it comes to Lin Han, although the emotions will still fluctuate, they can already control their emotions well.
The Rockets are the biggest opponent of the Jazz, so on the day of the game. When the Jazz were training in the morning, the whole team was doing the final arrangement for the Rockets, and it also seemed to the Rockets. Although they continue to despise the Jazz outside, this team is also the strongest opponent they always think. If it is not to deal with the Jazz, they will not get Drexler. For this two teams All are extremely clear.
"Well, since Clyde is willing to take more defensive responsibilities, then we must win the first game of this game. In the face of the Jazz, we can no longer face the situation of facing the sun and the Nuggets, if this We sent out the match points as soon as the round series came up. Then we will definitely not be able to chase back, do you understand?".
"understand!"
Finally, when Tomjanovich saw the fighting spirit on the face of the Rockets players, he nodded slightly.
Before the start of this season. Tomjanovich never thought of his team in the playoffs with the Jazz. He did not specially arrange the opponent's Malone's tactics, not to deal with Stockton's tactics. It was such a fear for a rookie player. This is indeed a very incredible thing for him.
"No matter how powerful you are, we won this game and we must win this series!"
The Rockets were counting Jazz and Lin Han when they were training on the field before the game, and the Jazz on the other side were similar.
When the game was two hours away, when the Jazz players also appeared in the locker room. As the team's head coach, Jerry Sloan is also calculating the Rockets with his players. Of course, unlike the Rockets thinking about how to deal with Lin Han's uncertainty, the Jazz are thinking about how to deal with Olajuwon. This big guy is really a big deterrent to the Jazz.
"Alden, we will not include Olajuwon in this game. You need to be mentally prepared. The psychological preparation for the one-on-one matchup with Olajuwon, understand?".
"understand!"
"Also, Carl, no matter what the game is, you have to move when you defend, and you have to move. No matter whether the player you are playing with is a big man or a small man, you need time to defend. Prepared to post, today your defensive range is all areas within the entire three-point line"
"Lin, Drexler will leave it to you. What you have to do is try not to let Alden face the offense of Olajuwon and Drexler. Can you do it?"
In the Jazz's locker room, Jerry Sloan's face was also very serious at this time, and after being commanded by Jerry Sloan, Lin Han glanced not far away and will be paired with Olajuwon's Polly Nice, Lin Han also nodded seriously.
It is clear that no one on the team can defend Olajuwon one-on-one, but Jerry Sloan chose to play a tight half-time defense against the Rockets in this game. This arrangement really surprised all players up and down the Jazz. .
With Jerry Sloan's conservative character, if it was in the past, even if he was thrown to death by the Rockets' outside shooters, he would not let go of Olajuwon. After all, Jerry Sloan's previous jazz team averaged a season He only made five or six three-point shots. He is a traditional coach who does not believe in outside attack. But now, Jerry Sloan actually made Olajuwon in this game and pinched the Rockets' other outside. Decide.
Although such a decision may not necessarily achieve the best results in this game, the players of the Jazz team are very pleased after getting the tactical arrangement of this game. They are pleased that the head coach of their team is no longer Holding his very stubborn single basketball like before, for nba players, although a single mode team will be simpler, but everyone knows that if a team comes to the playoffs After that, it is impossible to go to the highest throne without modification, unless the single mode of this team has reached the extreme and can crush the opponent. Such a team does have, such as the Lakers who played before, they are crazy offensive As for defense, as long as it is above the baseline, and there are not many changes in tactics, it is the same in every game. Other teams clearly know that they can’t win. Similarly, the Bulls with three consecutive championships in the past three years, regardless of May Jackson The triangle offense is not a pure triangle offense, but he does maximize Jordan's singles efficiency. Other teams clearly know that the Bulls are also the same way of playing, and they can't win.
At that time the Bulls and Lakers kind of team realm. The current jazz is naturally absent, not to mention that the jazz is not, even the Rockets. So the head coaches of the two teams can't just sit on the sidelines and watch each game like May Jackson, as the name suggests, this is called calmness.
So Jerry Sloan is willing to try some changes in this series to win the game. Regardless of success, the Jazz players are very supportive, although for Lin Han, the tactical play of the Jazz requires him huge.
After all, Lin Han's opponents have been injured for half a season. Drexler, who has recovered almost, even if such a player defeated Jordan not from the defensive end but from the offensive end, Lin Han could also beat him offensively. But it is clear that this series of rounds is not enough to defeat him only from the offensive end.
However, if Lin Han knew at this time that Drexler would also fully match him on both offense and defense, would the Jazz super rookie feel surprised.
"The Rockets and the Jazz are the two teams with the most championship potential in the entire playoffs so far. This round of the series looks to many people as an early finals. Who can win this round In the series, whoever can win the championship, so whether the Rockets or the Jazz will definitely go all out in this series, even the two teams will consume more energy in this game than in the finals! "
At six o'clock on the evening of May 28, 1994, as the only nba game broadcast today, it is also one of the most important games of the season. The rating of this game in the United States is expected to create an nba partition. The record of the final, so. For this round of confrontation between the Jazz and Rockets, naturally it is impossible not to pay less attention.
In fact. When the nba game enters the playoffs, almost every day of the live broadcast will make a topic in advance, there is a review of the previous day's game and today's game outlook.
But like today's game, I have been looking at various pre-game tidbits and interviews between players on both sides of the game and various kinds of battles between experts and famous players from 12 noon. It's also a very powerful player, because most of the live broadcast of nba games does not require such a long bedding, and there are not so many materials to be used for such a long time.
Even in the first game between the Knicks and the Pacers yesterday, these two teams are not bad, but there is no place to lay the ground, so this Eastern Conference finals is just a very ordinary live broadcast Arrangement, and the Jazz and Rockets are really completely different.
With the grudges of the two teams this season and the grudges between the two teams, even if it is a full-day topic, and these materials do not carry the same kind.
"Before the start of this game, Drexler said in an interview that although Lin Han is very good, he is just an ordinary nba star player. He has no ability to change the situation in the nba playoffs. Olajuwon changed the situation in a series like that, which caused a great sensation. Adrian, I think you must not agree with such a statement, do you?"
"Yes, Clyde's statement is too much self, Olajuwon is not as strong as he said, Lin Han is not as weak as he said, as for Jordan, although he has not played in more than a year , But I don’t think he has lost his unique characteristics. I will support Lin Han. He is a player who can change the postseason situation. Like Jordan said, Lin Han is the most talented person I have ever seen. Young people are even more talented than Jordan."
"No, I don’t agree with Adrian’s one. Clyde is right. Jordan is not sure if he has such dominance after his return, and Lin Han has never proven that he has a strong face The dominance of the team. When he faced a strong team to win, he was always standing beside Malone and Stockton. He is not a real superstar, and his impact on the playoffs is limited."
"Willis, you are stealing the concept. The Jazz is a whole. No one can play the other five players alone. If so, I think you could not prove yourself when you were in the Knicks. One person can win the championship, which is not only an insult to Lin Han, but also an insult to yourself. Some people have said before that Lin Han alone cannot win the game. Finally Lin Han proved that he can lead the team alone to win. So they shut up, and now Willis. Are you ready to raise the request for Lin Han? I don’t think the first playoff 5x5 player in NBA history and the youngest playoff 60-point sir are a pair An ordinary player who lacks influence in the playoffs. Remember, he is not the Nick Anderson of the Nets. He has proved that he did better in the playoffs than the regular season."
"No, that can't explain anything. I know you will say that I am quibbling, but neither the Trail Blazers nor the Warriors. They are not so competitive. When Jordan's 60th was facing the Celtics, Elgin Baylor was in the finals. Lin Han’s 60 points couldn’t be compared with them. Maybe he could not get 60 points in the finals in his whole life, maybe even one point.

"Hi, man. You are not discussing this game anymore. Can I say this is a personal attack, you Bi Chi from New York!"
At this time in the studio, the Rockets and the Jazz players have already played, and as guests of the studio, the Jazz's famous Dantley and the New York Knicks' famous Willis Reed are fighting again at this time. Too.
This is not the first time the two have staged full martial arts in the studio. Willis Reed is one of the largest Lin Hei in the league, and singles king Dantley is one of the largest Lin Mi in the league. In this case . It's strange that the two didn't fight. Almost every conversation between the two was very gunpowder. However, I don’t know what the nba fans thought at this time. After the two played in the studio, the popularity of the two nba legendary players has skyrocketed, and the popularity of the two players has come from the same direction. Jing Wei is distinct, Willis Reed has absorbed a lot of Lin Hei’s support, and Dantley’s supporters are Lin Han’s fans. In this case, as two representatives of Lin Hei and Lin Mi, these two are now Has become the nba's hottest two player commentators.
If the two players need to take into account their influence when performing the first full martial arts in the studio, then the morale at this time will be long gone. It can improve the ratings and the topicality. The fans don’t hate the two’s full martial arts. It is also possible that the room becomes a boxing stadium.
However, this time, there is not much time for the two to start, because the players of the Jazz and Rockets have already played. At this time, they need to pay attention to the game. Similarly, the aba special program that has been broadcast for several hours is also at this time. The picture should be handed over to the scene, to Larry Bird and Collins as the on-site narrator.
"Karl, what are you doing? Are you so excited?"
"I'm not excited"
"Don't you find that your legs are shaking now?".
"Are there, how can I not feel it?"
On May 28, 1994, the Delta Center, the home of the Jazz, was already full of vocals at this time. When Lin Han, Stockton and Malone played consecutively, this time it was to enhance the atmosphere of the entire scene. It's time for the most.
As fans of the Jazz, they can see their team reach the Western Conference finals twice in three years. This is a very proud thing. After all, they also know that their team does not have as many fans as other teams. There is not as much money as other teams. In this case, it is not easy for the team to not become the nba’s fish belly for these objective reasons, but it can finally reach the Western Conference finals twice in three years. This is already a miracle.
And even more miracle is that they are even the hottest champions now. If they can cross the Rockets level, they are the biggest favorites. Under such circumstances, the jazz fans who have been enthusiastic about the jazz this season, are The game and this series are even more so.
In this case, even the well-tested Jazz player Malone is a little excited by the live jazz fans at this time. Even Malone is like this, and other jazz players are naturally similar.
So when the starters of the Jazz went to the stadium to warm up, almost everyone's face was excited.
"The starting lineup of the Jazz has been adjusted again in this game, and they have changed a lot compared with the Warriors starting players in the last round."
"The Rockets starter is center Alden Pollinis, power forward Malone. Small forward Brian Russell, shooting guard Lin Han and point guard Stockton, this is a very defensive starter line-up"
"The Rockets haven't changed much. The center is Olajuwon, the power forward is Robert Holly, the small forward Maxwell, the shooting guard is Drexler, and the point guard is Kenny Smith."
Originally, the Maxwells on the Rockets, the Rockets' first shooter, had become an iron substitute after Drexler came, especially after coming to the playoffs, but because of the last round. The reason why the Nuggets are pushing the Rockets in crazy halftime. This makes the ball control ability second only to Drexler in the Rockets' outside line, he once again got the opportunity to replace Mario Avery as the starter.
The Rockets weren’t sure what the Jazz’s tactics were like in this game, so the Maxville starter who was a little frustrated when he saw Lin Han also saw the first game for the away game. The Rockets’ head coach Tomjanovich is still more cautious.
"Because the Rockets have only Olajuwon and Drexler at the core of their tactics, they don't have much room for change, but from this starting point of view, they still don't see what the tactics of the Jazz are in this game. Kind of."
When the starting players of the two teams played hot monks, Larry Bird also frowned.
Although the Jazz lineup has returned to defense. This is a very correct choice. After all, the Rockets are not the Warriors, nor the Trail Blazers, but there are many kinds of defense, especially such double inside. He is not sure whether Jerry Sloan will play Olajuwon or the Nuggets like this. Halftime.
If the Jazz are single inside and Malone is playing center, then the Jazz tactics are almost certain to be a half-court press.
Of course, at this time, Larry Bird had some speculation about Jerry Sloan's tactics. Rockets coach Tom Janovic on the sidelines was similar, although the Rockets had little time to prepare for the Western Conference finals. But as the head coach of the most important opponent Jazz, Tomjanovich naturally knows that this jazz coach is different from the past. In the past, playing with the Jazz did not need to guess what this team wanted to do.
"No matter what you want to do, as long as we can arrange ourselves, we will definitely win!"
Finally, Tomjanovich watched that both sides had warmed up and had reached their designated positions. When the referee Javi threw the basketball in his hand and Olajuwon successfully beat Pollinis to jump the ball, the game was also official. it has started!
"Olajuwon's jump judgment is very good, Pollinis took off a little late"
When Olajuwon did not have much suspense in the jump, Collins nodded appreciatively and nodded.
At this time, the basketball contested by Olajuwon has come to Kenny Smith in the back. The other Rockets players also ran forward slowly, and when the Rockets all the frontcourt players walked by After halftime, at this time almost all the jazz fans and reporters on the scene were a little exclaimed.
As a Jazz power forward, Malone, who rarely defends beyond the three-point line at this time, actually pressed Holly directly after Robert Holly passed halftime, and it is naturally impossible for Pollinis to let go of the Olympics. Lajuwon, as for Maxwell, Russell was also standing next to him, when the Jazz sent a half-court press on their first defense.
At this time, Kenny Smith and Drexler, who are two Rockets guards in the backcourt, were all stunned at this time, especially Kenny Smith, as the Rockets' dribble guard, his responsibility is to take the ball It’s good to pass halftime. Now that I see Stockton standing in the middle of the circle waiting for myself, this Rockets point guard thinks of the last round and the Nuggets’
miserable
almost subconsciously. To play basketball, look for Drexler diagonally ahead.
"Kenny, be careful!"
And when Kenny Smith gently pushed the basketball in his hand, at this time, Drexler, who was originally about to catch the ball, almost shouted directly, and then immediately prepared to go sideways to the card position, just What surprised Drexler was that Lin Han, who had just given a step away from him, had not been taken by his lateral card holder, and had already appeared in front of him. After snatching Drexler, Kenny Smith's diagonal pass also arrived!
However, at this time, Collins, who had just praised Olajuwon’s excellent jump ball, had not yet come out of the after rhyme. At this time, Lin Han completed the steal and completed the first of the two teams in this game. Score once!
When Lin Han finished the dunk at this time, when the fans almost fell from the basket in the cheers of the crowd, he put his right index finger in front of his mouth in the direction of Drexler. When the jazz fans on the scene saw this picture on the big screen, they became even more crazy.
"Hahaha, that's it, Lin, grab a beautiful look, who makes the Rockets players' mouths so stinky, it's so cool, it's so cool!"
"Hahaha, it's really cool. It would be even better if the ball was directly intercepted from Drexler's hand!"
"It's so beautiful, I know that Lin's style is the most domineering of NBA~EbookFREE.me~ This game kills the rocket guard!"
After Lin Han's thunderous pass from Kenny Smith to Drexler's cross was directly interrupted, the Rockets who had reached the frontcourt by the Jazz players were also somewhat stunned.
They didn’t really think that their team’s first attack had a problem. You know, they are not a team that is not suitable for pressing. They have been so many games by the Nuggets. How could it not be adapted.
It’s just this time looking at Kenny Smith’s pale face, all the other Rockets players are looking at the jazz number eight who is provoking Drexler, and this time Drexler was calm. His face could no longer keep himself calm.
"Although the Jazz do not have a Mutombo, their Lin Han is also unique."
When Lin Han and the Rockets stood on the court like a confrontation, facing the crazy cheers of the fans, Larry Bird looked at Lin Han and Drexler and smiled.
This is regarded as a commendation for Lin Han and his support for Lin Han! (To be continued...) ()
