Vol 2 Chapter 265: Pat Riley

(For recommendation, subscription, monthly pass)
"The Utah Jazz are a very good team, they have many, many good players, maybe they have the best power forward in the league, they also have the best shooting guard in the league and even the best point guard in the league. Also among their team, they only lost 10 games in the regular season and only one game in the playoffs, but I would say that the Houston Rockets are Houston Rockets and the New York Knicks are New York Knicks, the Jazz can easily beat the Houston Rockets does not mean that they can easily beat the New York Knicks, this is a completely different concept!"
"The regular season was swept? I once said that this does not mean anything. This season we also swept the Pacers, but in the playoffs, the Pacers almost eliminated us. The regular season results are only regular. The result of the game is nothing, it has nothing to do with the playoffs, I never think that any team in the league can sweep us, even last year's Bulls did "No" wrong "not this!"
On June 8, 1994, the post-match press conference after the seventh game between the Knicks and the Pacers. At this time, the coach of the New York Knicks, Pat Riley, looked very ugly. If it were not for watching the Knicks and today, The Pacers game, knowing that the Knicks finally defeated the Pacers in the tiebreaker, I am afraid everyone thinks that the New York Knicks are the losing side.
In fact, since leaving the Lakers and coming to the New York Knicks, Pat Riley's face has not been very good-looking, when the Lakers. Although he is one of the best head coaches in the league, although he has become the most popular head coach in the league, there is no doubt about it. The Lakers did not belong to his team, the Lakers belonged to the Magic and Jerry West, but never belonged to him, so when he resolutely left the Lakers during the peak of the Lakers and came to another giant New York Knicks At that time, he never thought he would encounter such a situation in the New York Knicks.
As the league's champion coach, the New York Knicks are the league's downhill giants, before Pat Riley entered the team. How long has this team not reached the division finals? I'm afraid they didn't even know it, and after Pat Riley came to this team, this team has reached the division finals for two consecutive years. This year has even reached the finals, almost one year a step forward, in this case, if it is an ordinary team. The media in the city where the team is located have long blown Pat Riley into a god. But it is regrettable that the New York media never thought of touting Pat Riley, and even Pat Riley had never thought that these New York media would tout themselves, as long as they do not continue to abuse and insult it will be fine.
Especially in the previous period, the New York Knicks were overtaken by the Pacers 3-2 with a 2-0 lead, and Reggie Miller was frustrated. After the nearly humiliating insult to the Knicks in Madison Square, the New York media almost Spreading all the grievances on Pat Riley, they really had no way to get Reggie Miller. Like Lin Han, this arrogant boy is not afraid of ridicule or blackness at all. Under this circumstance, Pat Riley even paid attention to whether a New York fan came to give him some time ago even when he went out. It can be said that when a city's media is in the newspaper When I was instigating the fans of my team to attack the team's head coach, it was strange to be happy as the team's head coach.
Even if the ruthless Pat Riley directly blocked Reggie Miller in these two games, it was not possible for Reggie Miller to be alone, then two people, two people are not good? Those three, and finally after pinching Reggie Miller slightly, the other Pacers players could not bear the responsibility. Eventually, Pat Riley and his New York Knicks finally succeeded in gambling, eventually overtaking the Pacers and scoring into the total. In the finals, and even so, these New York media still refused to accept him.
This led the team to the finals. Even if these guys didn’t tout how good his tactics in the next two games were, he even challenged him at the post-match press conference and asked him to ensure that he defeated the Jazz in the finals. , Can he guarantee this? Even if he wants to beat the Jazz, but at this time, there are some things he can't say.
Well, when he did not make a commitment to the future and the Jazz finals, these New York media began to send him trouble again, and also began to pull his old man to humiliate him.
In this team, Pat Riley has never received the respect that this city should have. When thinking of this here, the Knicks coach sneered a bit, wanted to win the game, and wanted the team to play well. It is also necessary for the team to step on the most popular player in the league like the Pistons of that year, rather than being stepped on by the most popular player in the league. This group of guys here are really demanding, and it is really difficult to wait. Knowing that he came to the New York Knicks would be such a result, he would not come to this place to kill him.
"Lin Han is extremely hot in this year's playoffs. Can you talk about what defensive strategy you will have against him in the finals? Can you limit the score of that guy to how many points!"
When a front-row New York reporter once again had the opportunity to ask the same question to Pat Riley, the Knicks coach's eyebrows were also picked. If it was not for winning the game today, entering the finals is A day of great joy, and at the same time did not want to let the Larry Brown next to read the joke, Pat Riley had already left the seat indignantly.
"Lin Han is a very great player. He has performed very well this season. He is one of the biggest contenders of the mvp in the finals. It is difficult for such players to be really limited. We will try to let him play as much as possible. Uncomfortable, as for how many points he can score in each game of the Finals, you need to ask God, not to ask me"
After speaking, Pat Riley also pointed to the sky deliberately, although he can’t make a splash at this time, after all, he is not a soft persimmon. As the league’s most popular head coach, Jordan in the coaching profession, he It really is not as good as Chuckdale. But he is not bad in temper, of course, after his answer. The group of New York journalists in the front row under the field really didn't do it, and the reporters from other media in the United States sitting behind were all smiling and watching the lively at this time. Well-known, so when many media come to Madison for interviews, they basically don’t think about what questions to ask, because these New York media already have better and sharper questions, so many times they only need It's okay to watch Pat Riley and their fight off the court.
have to say. The war between Patrielli and the New York media has always been very interesting.
"I said, I can't guarantee to you that the Finals will happen, but there is one thing you can rest assured. If you want to conquer Madison Park in the Finals, no matter who is, you must be ready to stand in and go sideways! "
After coldly answering the last question, he looked at the press officer next to him, and the press officer nodded his hair to show that the time had come. The Knicks head coach turned and left without looking back. And Larry Brown, who has not been making a noise at this press conference, looked at Pat Riley’s back at this time with some sympathy, and some happily changed [same as fast] feeling, these are so vicious in these two games, It should be sprayed by yourself.
Of course, after Pat Riley left the post-match press conference and returned to the team's locker room at this time, the anger and depression on his face were still clearly visible, and as Knicks players, they have long been used to themselves The head coach has such an expression after each press conference after the game. Although Pat Riley is not popular among New York media and fans, these guys demand too much from Pa Riley. After all, I believe that Riley has the highest coach salary in the league and did not send the Lakers to New York. Even if he can win, the game is so ugly, it does not meet the temperament of this city. If you really want to find a The coaches who can win, New York has a lot of choices. As long as New York roars, most of the league’s famous coaches will rush to this team. These people can also win if they don’t have play and tactical requirements. , Can also lead the team to the finals, so, how can he win the Pat Riley can reach the finals? Even if he won the championship, he could not meet the demands of New York fans. The management and the media demanded him. Overall, these people never thought that Pat Riley proved his ability to have the highest salary in the league.
However, fans, the media, and management can think so, but the players in this team created by Pat Riley do not think so. In their hearts, the status of Pat Riley is quite high, just this Things can be considered infighting, and it's difficult for them to be players.
So, at this time in the dressing room of the New York Knicks, although they are very happy and happy to have reached the finals, but this time seeing Patrielli's face, the only excitement and joy is gone This is really different from when the Jazz reached the finals.
When the Jazz reached the finals, let alone the locker room was boiling. Even the entire stadium and the entire Salt Lake City were boiling, because they all knew that as long as they stepped on the Rockets to enter the finals, the championship 80% of the hope is already in their hands, and the Knicks players will be so restrained because they themselves know that the finals will be a tougher war than the Pacers.
They blocked the madman Reggie Miller in the last two games and finally won the game, but Lin Han was a player no worse than Reggie Miller. It was more crazy than crazy or human. This kid was even more The horror of Reggie Miller is not afraid of the threats and hands of the New York gangsters, what can he do, but Lin Han is not only not afraid of the threats of the New York gangsters, this guy can also threaten the New York gangsters. The boss of Starks played a shadow. In the playoffs of this year, as the Knicks think that the opponents most likely to be the finals are also the most powerful opponents, they cannot be the Rockets and the Jazz. In the fourth game of the two teams, after seeing Lin Han being handed down by Drexler, Lin Han was shocked by the picture of Drexler beating on the ground. This group of New York gangsters was shocked. For a moment, you know, the head referee stood by and watched. Lin Han didn't care anymore, and pushed Drexler down. Not chasing after him to the Rockets bench, the kind of unbridled rampage is almost chilling. In the face of such a player, to be honest, it is very difficult for the gangsters of the New York Knicks to really want to scare him. If it is not to scare but to play real, I am afraid that it is not Lin Han who lies One of them.
Even a lot of times, this group of New York gangsters are very envious of the Pistons of the Pirates in the right era. If the Pistons of the Pirates had a few strong men like Lin Han and Reggie Miller. I'm afraid they have the same headaches as the Knicks at this time.
And more importantly, they can pinch Reggie Miller crazy and face the Knicks' intimidation. The other Pacers players will die, but will the other Jazz players die? Although the Jazz don’t have the name of a gangster, this team doesn’t have many good guys. The two bosses of the team are both ruthless and ‘black’. So for the prospects of the team's finals. The New York Knicks players are really not so optimistic, so although they are happy and celebrated, they are limited, rather than the unbridled celebrations like the Jazz, as if the championship has been reached.
Of course, at this time, the Knicks players are very emotional, full of uncertainty about the future of the team, and as the head coach. How can Pat Riley not know this, if he can really be sure or have full confidence in the finals. In the face of the nearly humiliating press question of the New York media, he has already spoken directly, but he knows that the future of the team will not be a smooth road, so he cannot speak harshly, so he can only say at the last time. The sentence appeared very fierce, but it revealed a frustrating words.
The Jazz are completely different from the Pacers. It’s not just that there aren’t many Pacers, and there are fewer ruthless people who can score, so after they got the most ruthless Reggie Miller, the others just need to be scared. That's it, but the Jazz are different. This Linhan has better scoring ability than Reggie Miller. They are already pinching Reggie Miller. This guy can still score 26 points in the next two games. The hit rate can also reach 45%. Don’t think that this data is poor. Considering the Knicks’ defensive strength against Reggie Miller, the league can achieve an average of 26 points and 45% shooting rate. The defender will not exceed 5, even directly stated that except With the exception of Lin Han, Reggie Miller and Jordan, I am afraid that no shooting guard can have such strength.
Of these three, Reggie Miller may be the most mad, but not necessarily the strongest, or even the weakest. Who knows what this guy like Lin Han will do with the Knicks? I played 60+, 50+10, 30+20, 5x5, 30+20 and 5x5 in my first playoff trip. He played for a while. headache.
The Knicks are a strong defensive team. They dare to say that their defense is the first in the league, but in the face of a team like the Jazz, it is not enough to just defend. Lin Han and Malone are both in the playoffs. People can score 70 points in a game. At this time, the media directly named these two people as the two craziest combinations in the history of NBA. There is no reason. In the face of such a combination, the Knicks only want to rely on defense. It is absolutely impossible to beat each other.
As for the results, to be honest, although the Knicks are not weak, but they can not be much stronger, at least it is really far from the Rockets.
Although Olajuwon and Ewing are one of the three centers, Olajuwon has played a total of 79 games in his career so far, including one game with more than 50 points in the playoffs. There were 6 games scoring more than 40 points and 30 games scoring more than 30 points. As the three centers and Olajuwon, did Ewing play 71 playoff games? Ewing’s performance is actually not bad. Although he did not score more than 50 in the playoffs, there were 2 games with more than 40 points and 16 games with more than 30 points. However, the key point is that Ewing has a total of 16 games. 30 If a game with points or more is placed above the total of 71 games, it will be a little less attractive.
Ewing is also a player with defensive dominance and a very comprehensive offensive player, but in terms of scoring explosiveness, he is indeed not as good as Olajuwon. You can say that Olajuwon was a tumor before, but his scoring ability is indeed It is the strongest of the three centers. As for David Robinson, this kid is even more miserable. If this year, the team that did not even have a regular center has scored a playoff point of 50 points. This guy has 29 careers. Only 8 games scored more than 30 points in the playoffs. Three of these games were won by the Warriors this season. Before this season's game with the Warriors, this guy scored 36 points in the playoffs. It is a typical example of the regular season, and the playoffs become soft. The same can also reflect the values ​​of the current league. The regular season and the playoffs are really not a level game, even the three centers. Such a strongman has to walk on his feet in the playoffs. After all, most of the strong teams in the league have one or even two All-Star-level insiders. Imagine how miserable O'Neal was in the playoffs this year. Not long ago I saw O'Neill being played so miserably in the playoffs. Lin Han also inconceivably asked Alice. At that time, Ellie told him that Lin O'Neal was really stunned when O'Neal never averaged more than 27 points in the playoffs in the first five seasons of his career. This guy averaged nearly 30 points per game this year. In general, are players like O'Neal and him or Jordan and Reggie Miller not doing better in the playoffs than in the regular season?
Of course, in fact, Lin Han really underestimated the league's inside at this time. Among the four centers, except for Ewing, who was infinitely close to 30 points per game in his fifth year of the playoffs, the league really can There was only one center that averaged 30 points per game in the playoffs. That's Olajuwon, which is the whole nba. At present, the only center with defensive and offensive power is Olajuwon. Now, there are a lot of regular-season pretend deaths in the league, and the playoffs will bully the new players.
In this case, Pat Riley worried that even if his team was well defended, they would not be able to prevent the Jazz. When they finally forced them to play against the Jazz, their Ewing was not Olajuwon. This is annoying enough.
At this time, Pat Riley only had to think of Lin Han, and he had a headache when he thought of Jazz. This really has no solution. After all, this team does make the Knicks very passive now, but although Pa Riley is very helpless at this time, but outside These media do not think so.
After the Jazz finals opponent is definitely the Knicks, these guys are really crazy. After all, the grudges between the Knicks and the Jazz this season are really too deep, or the grudges between Lin Han and the New York gang It is too deep.
When the two teams met for the first time in the regular season, Lin Han staged a miracle moment in Madison Square that shocked the world. This caused the entire Knicks players to roar after the game. The next time they saw Lin Han, they only wanted Lin. Han went out from the court sideways, and the final result? It wasn’t Lin Han, but Ewing. Ewing was concussed by Lin Han in the game and was directly lifted out horizontally. Even because of this event, Nick, who had a huge advantage at that time, occupied the first position in the East. Because of Ewing’s problems at that time, the Eagles directly snatched the first place in the East before the All-Stars. It also made Ewing, who had the hope of competing for the regular season mvp, lost directly after being killed by the Jazz and Rockets. The opportunity to compete in regular season mvp.
Coupled with Lin Han’s silhouette of the miracle moment printed on his first signature sneakers, especially after the sales of Lin Han’s pair of shoes have exceeded 4 million pairs in the world, Lin Han caused the Knicks The damage can be described as hard to write.
As for how the Knicks think of Lin Han, there is no doubt that if they can, the Knicks have expected to kill Lin Han directly on the court.
"The Jazz swept the Knicks? Pat Riley said the Knicks are not rockets, he is confident in the finals!"
"The Knicks eliminated the Pacers into the finals. Jerry Sloan congratulated him, calling the Knicks a great opponent and Pat Riley a great coach."
"The Knicks reached the finals, the Jazz rookie disdain, claiming that the Miracle Generation signature shoes will be released in the commemorative version of the finals recently, and New York fans once again claimed that the city refused to buy."
"Pat Riley made a ruthless speech after the game, Reggie Miller expressed disdain, the Knicks are only invincible?"
"Willis Reed, a New York residence, claimed in an interview that Madison Square will be the tomb of Lin Han and the Jazz. The finals will wash away all humiliation."
When the Jazz played against the New York Knicks in the finals, when the Knicks came to Salt Lake City on June 9, the entire nba public opinion circle was almost boiling.
Now the NBA Finals format is 2-3-2, and the better team will have 4 home courts. The distribution of these four home games is the Jazz home game in the first two games, the Knicks home game in the next three games, and the last two games to return to Salt Lake City again.
The first game between the Knicks and the Jazz was on June 10. That is tomorrow, playing at the Utah Jazz Triangle Center Arena.
It can be said that because the Knicks played a tie-breaker with the Pacers a day ago, the first finals held on June 10 was indeed a bit disadvantageous for the Knicks. After all, the Knicks had already rested for 4 days at this time. Now, this time is just right.
Therefore, because the right place and the people are almost on the side of the Jazz. Although it is said that the New York media has focused all the firepower on the Jazz recently, but this time the Jazz players are still quite relaxed, of course. This also includes Lin Han.
Even at this time, Lin Han did not focus on the game, but instead focused on the fourth game with the Rockets. Because the score of 29 points in the single quarter, the score of the second quarter of the playoffs was refreshed. Colored single-field rewards above, of course. Lin Han is playing 50+10 in the fourth game with the Rockets. 29 points per quarter, naturally not only a purple gold single reward, but also a purple gold skill point, now Lin Han also has two purple gold skill points, but for these two purple gold points How to use it, this is not in a hurry. Lin Han now pays almost all his attention to a purple gold single reward of 29 points in a single quarter to Lin Han on the training card of Isaiah Thomas.
To know. Lin Han against the Pistons' former ball king, the magician's most powerful opponent at the peak. Lin Han knew from Alice before that this guy has the strongest ball control skills in the history of NBA. A man who can beat Stockton in his later years is almost necessary. It is almost necessary to have Malone on the iron elbow to play him. Able to save Stockton.
Lin Han has really coveted this guy’s ball control skills for a long time. You know, although Lin Han’s technology and skills are very good, he can break through and can hold the ball, but ball control has not been Lin Han’s strong point. Many of Lin Han’s ball control is accompanied by some skills, such as the original one-handed ball with the McGrady dry pull, which is a handsome ball control, such as the Kobe-style turn and back jumper to the lv2 when the in-situ escape type Ball control, as well as Deron Williams turning to break through with the two hands and crossing the ball in place. Although these ball control methods make Lin Han seem to control the ball well, in fact, Lin Han is difficult to have like Stoke Dunton and some other players have the ability to hold the ball in the free throw line crowd. Lin Han’s ball control is more offensive, and they are all offensive. In fact, the league’s most orthodox ball control skills, Players are not necessarily required to attack. Like Stockton, he often does not attack even if the ball is dribble to the basket. For example, Isaiah Thomas. As a short defender, he can After dribbling the ball to the basket, if he finds that there is no chance of a result, he can easily get it out.
Lin Han couldn't do this. If Lin Han got to the rim, he eventually found himself without an offensive opportunity, and he couldn't withdraw anymore. Could he play cross-handed dribble in the rim? Wasn’t that just looking for a draw, or playing cool with a single-handed ball under the basket? At that time, pretending not to be forced to get killed, so Lin Han's dribble is very good. With Lin Han's physical fitness, it is difficult for someone to take Lin Han's basketball directly away if Lin Han's attention is focused.
But the same, because he only has the ability to move forward and not back, so in the face of some strong insiders, such as Olajuwon, Mourning, Admiral and Ewing, Lin Han has never dared to go to the basket, There are some reasons for fear of this big man's defensive ability, but more is Lin Han facing these big men, the turnover rate of the offensive under the basket will be very high, because of his style of dribbling, killing There are only two results for entering the inside, one is the score of the top ten goals, and the other is a very stupid brain-type mistake.
With Lin Han’s current status and offensive methods, he naturally does not need to get to the basket to attack. If in the past, Lin Han was not so hungry for this ball-controlling skill. Although he would like it very much, he did not Can’t wait, but the key is that after the game with the Rockets broke out two McGrady moments, coupled with the unruly hype of the US media, Lin Han now almost watched his character is getting lower and lower. , Almost fell below 25%.
Even recently, Lin Han has been thinking about whether he should play a heart-wrenching thing like Reggie Miller’s throat to improve his character, and it is not a matter of lowering it again, after all. Lin Han’s goal for this year’s finals is the mvp in the finals. Can such a problem arise at this critical time~EbookFREE.me~ So, in this case, if his character is not enough, the peripheral hit rate may be In the case of a pit father, Lin Han now has to brush the data and can only rush to the basket. The key is that the Knicks have a gorilla under the basket. Although Lin Han is strong, but he may not be able to kill the basket. I’ve beat Ewing. Although Ewing’s offense is indeed one level or more behind O’Neal, but this guy’s defense is really not much worse than O’Neal. Similarly, New York’s overall defense is definitely stronger than the Rockets. So, recently At the training ground, when he saw Karl Malone vowed to say that he would take the finals mvp to complete the Grand Slam, Lin Han was really impatient.
However, Lin Han also knows that although the strongest ball control skills in the history of Isaiah Thomas can help him, but the training card is completely dependent on the face. If Isaiah Thomas does not bird him, even if he gives Isaiah Thomas knelt down, and he didn't get this guy's heritage.
However, what surprised Lin Han was that he had come to find Isaiah Thomas with the mentality of a dead horse as a living horse doctor, but unexpectedly, the final result made Lin Han almost shocked. (To be continued...)
