Vol 2 Chapter 268: victory! New era?

(For subscription, for recommendation, for monthly ticket)
Patrick Ewing has always been one of the league's best inside defensive players, and is also one of the most influential players in the NBA. As a sign of the New York Knicks and New York, the only player in the league can sell as a center. Players who produce basketball shoes can be said to be one of the best players in nba.
Even in the eyes of many people, the New York-based player is not as good as the athletics of O'Neill and Admiral David Robinson in the midst of sports. In the playoffs, he has never been stronger than Olajuwon, so with the admiral With the rise of O'Neill, his older veteran has slowly been unable to match these people in data.
NBA's new and old alternation or metabolism is extremely fast and normal. At that time, he and Olajuwon replaced Jabal and replaced Moses Malone as the best center in the league. In the future, they will be David Robinson or O'Neill. People replace it, which is also nothing to say. "No> wrong"
This is the case with nba. No one can live here forever. Even Chamberlain and Larry Bird Magician recognize the old, but when they saw Lin Han, they saw O'Neill and a group of young people When this group of veterans launched a shock, he knew that his time was running out. Although he was not worried about his future, there was no doubt that whether it was Linhan’s appearance or O’Neill’s appearance, he Has produced a huge sense of crisis!
As the representative of nba's fifth-generation center, he and O'Neal have not yet achieved all the glory of the center. In other words, think of the achievements of Jabal and Moses Malone, and then think of the situation you and Olajuwon are now in. The Knicks' headed player was a little dazed.
At that time, he and Olajuwon entered the NBA as the top young player in the league. They also defeated Moses Malone and Jabal to become the strongest center of the new generation in the league. , The best lineup that monopolized the third generation centers such as Moses Malone and Jabal for more than 10 years received his own hands. The best lineup of the year did not have any third lineup, just like Moses Malone and Jabal first. Like the monopoly of the second lineup, he and Olajuwon also monopolized all two positions in the league's center position.
It was only after the rise of David Robinson. The league separated the third team, he and Olajuwon's monopoly on the center position became a monopoly of three, until this year. The position monopoly of the three was broken by O'Neill, and he was pushed out of the best lineup by O'Neill.
Ewing knew very well that when he was pushed out of the best lineup by a new generation of centers, it was already difficult to go back. Because he and O'Neill also drove out Moses Malone and Jabal in the same way. The two have never been back after being driven out of the best lineup by him and Olajuwon.
Only, compared with Moses Malone and Jabal, what does he have with Olajuwon?
Moses Malone 3 regular season mvp, a finals mvp, he should have everything the player should have, Jabal, 6 regular season mvp, 6 championships. 2 Finals mvp, if only in terms of the number of achievements. Ewing dizzy just looking at these numbers.
And what about the predecessors? Willis Reed, Chamberlain Russell, and even Johnston George McCann, and so on, which of these people is not a championship plus? There is even more than one championship plus!
After these guys were replaced by newcomers in their positions, they basically had their merits consummated. As a king in the position of the era center, although he and Olajuwon were called peerless, they were only called the three majors. Center to the current four centers, but when he has been replaced, Olajuwon may also be replaced in the near future, he and Olajuwon are still nothing!
Although the current league is different from the past, the king of the center is no longer the king of the league, which really makes him the successor of the center era.
Especially when seeing Lin Han marching in and out of his face again and again in this game, when he came and went in the restricted area he guarded, and almost regarded him as nothing, this time Ewing felt very humiliated.
"Patrick, are you okay?"
When there were 6 minutes left in the second quarter, the official suspension of the two sides ended. When the starters of both sides came on the stage again, this time watching the team boss standing on the sidelines of the changing face and extremely complex look, Charles Smith asked with some concern.
This game was indeed extremely difficult for the Knicks. The most important tactics that the team arranged before the game, and the strategic arrangement that locked Lin Han, completely failed in this game.
As the defender of Malone's game, when the team completely blocked Lin Han, Malone did not pose a few threats to him. This is not because his defense is excellent or Malone's offense is poor, but they are basically Can't force the Jazz to transfer the offense to Malone's hands!
When a team like the Knicks tries his best to pinch a person, he can actually allow his opponent to score so calmly. If it is the team Clippers he stayed in before, he believes that the Clippers are five people. With Lin Han, it is difficult to strangle this guy. Now Lin Han makes him almost think of Jordan who eliminated them last season. Although Jordan did not perform well when facing them last season, in the end, Jordan was still single. The redemption was completed in 50+ games, and even though Jordan's performance in the previous game was really not good, Jordan was still able to shoot as much as he wanted, just the problem of hits and misses.
So, after the end of the first quarter, when Lin Han took off with a score of 16 points from 10 in 6 in the quarter, he was almost as confused as other Knicks players. He was very confused. Know how powerful the defense of these Knicks teammates is.
And this time, when the team debuts again, even the team's boss. Ewing showed such a look at this time, and Smith once again had the feeling that this game or this round of the series was somewhat dangling.
After the first quarter of this game, the Knicks felt that the game was hanging. When the starting lineups of the two teams came on the court again, the game restarted. When the Jazz attacked again, Stockton did not even prepare to take Polynes from the first attack of the Jazz. The bottom line ball, but directly handed the opportunity to advance the ball to Lin Han.
"Lin, don't worry, take your time"
When Pollinis looked at Stockton who didn't want to catch the ball. Looking at Lin Han, who was excited at this time, the Jazz center shook his head a little, and handed the basketball to Lin Han. But in the end, there was a reminder.
Lin Han's performance in the first quarter almost messed up the Knicks' entire defense. However, after all, the Knicks are Knicks. Who knows what this team will do next. As a veteran Pollinis, he still needs to remind Lin Han to be more careful.
of course. In the face of Pollinis's reminder, Lin Han just smiled and directly advanced the ball. At this time, Anthony Mason Jr. had already been waiting for him in the front, and he was beaten by himself in the first quarter. Lin Han didn't have much fear of his old opponent and Oakley beside him.
If he used to control the ball in the past, the most feared thing was that the dribble was caught in the spot, which would make it difficult for Lin Han to handle. I had to choose to throw myself in the face of the blow, and I couldn't make it. Therefore, the league now has an unwritten law of Lin Han, can't Lin Han throw it? Isn’t it a narrow career that can’t pass Then just go straight to the two 2.01 meters, the players who are not too slow take Lin Han on the perimeter, will Lin Han's perimeter attack just go to waste?
From the point of view of the Knicks' defense strategy against Lin Han in this game, this team really thinks so.
And now, what if the two of them came to flee? Ever since Isaiah Thomas learned to dribble the ball at his fingertips, Lin Han was really scared of such a big two.
Because he is almost able to touch the ground with the ball, this is the greatest lethality for the big defensive players. Even if they hit Lin Han, they can’t grab the basketball in Lin Han’s hands. In this case, Lin Han is still easy to find. To the gap, after all, unless the two are twins with the same heart, otherwise it is too simple to find the empty space with Lin Han's ability.
If you don't hit the pinch, with Lin Han's ability to hold the ball, the one-on-one defense is also dead, so now the Knicks' defense is extremely embarrassing and hesitant.
In the current situation, they are not without solutions, Mason and Oakley are not too tall, then put on a short, Starks is also a defensive fighter, tall and short, low center of gravity, Lin Han really If you want to use your fingertips to play Starks, it is really not possible to play him. The key is that Lin Han’s three-point range is too far, and Starks is too short. Imagine the last round of Starks It can be seen that Kekes was screened by Reggie Miller. Even if Oakley helped Starks to defend Reggie Miller, he was still played as a sieve. Lin Han and Reggie Miller had a more accurate three-pointer. Hard to say? The two are one of the strongest three-point shooters in the league, but one thing is certain, that is, Lin Han's three-pointer has a longer range and more damage to the Knicks!
"?So fast?!"
When Lin Han's slow dribble came near the middle circle, Lin Han did not have any panic when facing the upcoming Oakley and Mason. After seeing the two people struck up, Lin Han did not wait to be caught by the two. The man hits, because this time he needs to advance, he needs to consider the time, can it be eight seconds, so when the two men came up, Lin Han directly accelerated from a low waist, only one step away from the two New York Knicks players Distance, the direct low post dribble through the middle of these two Knicks defensive players!
Lin Han’s low fingertip dribble does not have the flexibility and speed of Isaiah Thomas, but Lin Han also has something that Isaiah Thomas does not have, that is impact, Isaiah Thomas has his own breakthrough skills, and Lin Han also has his own straight-line breakthrough skills. When Lin Han launched the courage to use the low fingertip to dribble directly from the two Knicks defensive players, Anthony Mason even nearly fell over by Lin Han. Obviously, He didn’t think about Lin Han, who had been playing technology flow before. This time he actually played the combination of body crushing flow and technology flow!
And once again, Lin Han's almost ruthless direct breakthrough, Oakley and Mason watched Lin Han leave quickly. I have forgotten to catch up and defend.
When Lin Han stood at the top of the arc and threw his basketball after breaking through the two, the two Knicks defensive players saw the basketball thrown by Lin Han. When it hit again. Almost the whole body was shaking with anger!
"Hahaha, even if these two guys are like stumps, would they dare to defend Lin?!"
"It's great, it's really great, Lin Han's three-pointer is really good. Although today's shooting rate seems to be average, the Knicks can't stop him!"
"Is this the league's No. 1 defense? It's just that!"
Lin Han once again hit a three-pointer. At this time, it was not as arrogant as in the first quarter, but after celebrating for a while with his teammates, he greeted the fans who were frantically shouting around.
just. At this time, although Lin Han did not celebrate, but the Knicks players will still not be happy.
The No. 1 defense in the league, there is no way to take Lin Han in this game, but there is no way. Even Oakley and Mason were humiliated by Lin Han again and again.
If not for fear that this is the home of the Jazz. As well as Lin Han's fierce name, these two nba butcher villains may be ready to start directly against Lin Han!
"Anthony and Charles have gone through, coach, do we need to change to John now?".
When the second quarter restarted, watching the game once again controlled by Lin Han on the court, the Knicks assistant coach Jeff Van Gundy calmly asked Pat Riley next to him, and this time was a little lost. After being asked by Van Gundy in this way, Patrielli remained silent.
And seeing his head coach like this, Van Gundy did not speak anymore. Still looking blankly at what happened on the court, as if it had nothing to do with him.
The situation on the Knicks is bad now. Van Gundy can see how Pat Riley can't see it as a teacher, just what he can do? On Starks, this guy was pulled out of the Knicks' defensive system by Lin Han from the Knicks' defense. I'm afraid that Lin Han wouldn't need to play fingertip dribble to hit him.
When a defensive player who can't build a big body but can't slow but has poor strength can't defend Lin Han from the perimeter, can the Knicks only go back in time? Instead of going back to defending Lin Han as in the past, where can I find a defensive player whose height is similar to that of Lin Han, whose strength can't be worse, and how slow can he be? Looking for Jordan? The point is that Jordan will not come to the Knicks.
Helpless, this is the situation encountered by Pat Riley, the Knicks defense line smashed by Lin Han has almost collapsed at this time!
"It's too slow. It's too slow. Oakley and Mason are too slow. They can't be like a stake. They need to bend down to grab the ball!"
"Pretty, Lin Han once again broke through Mason's defense and hit a jumper from the free throw line in the middle!"
When the game restarted in the second quarter, the situation on the court was still the Jazz playing against the Knicks. When the Knicks claimed that the league’s first defense was directly crushed by Lin Han alone, this time the former bull on the sidelines Head coach Collins is also extremely excited at this time.
Obviously, although he is a fan of Lin Han, but after seeing Isaiah Thomas’s stunt, the former Bulls coach, because Isaiah Thomas and the Pistons took the class from the Bulls, let the Bulls built by himself be handed over. To Mayfair Jackson, he had a very complicated mood with Lin Han at this time.
Although he still supports Lin Han very much, he has been very excited about how to defend Lin Han's extremely low dribble.
You know, when he met the Pistons and Isaiah Thomas in the last year of the Bulls, the Bulls were really in a good situation, and they led 2 to 1 as soon as they came up. When the Bulls started against Isaiah Thomas, The defense is really good. This guy's dribble and ball control are really against the sky level, especially the kind of low post dribble is a must, plus his short height, almost as long as he wants, He can appear anywhere under his opponent's blue, no matter how tightly his defense is.
It's just that such a low dribble is not without defensive methods, because the dribble is very low, and the height is not high, which leads to Isaiah Thomas. If he wants to attack with a low dribble, he needs a longer attack time. When a player is attacking, the hand is on the knee and the hand is on the chest, which is a completely different concept. Therefore, as long as the defensive players are accurate, it is easy to risk Thomas' offense. Isaiah Thomas was the best point guard in the league. The reason for the high turnover rate has always been this reason.
Although Lin Han is taller than Isaiah Thomas, although his wingspan is excellent, he can play this kind of dribble with this height. But again, for this kind of dribble, Lin Han wanted to complete the offense instantly with a low dribble. The required offensive preparation time is set stronger.
In this case, the Knicks' defensive approach is undesirable. Pat Riley should need to get a combination of one high and one fast instead of double high. Otherwise Lin Han didn't need to worry about the longer preparation time for his offense.
"Lin Han is not Isaiah Thomas"
At this time Collins was on the commentary table to advise Pat Riley. Larry Bird on the side has been shaking his head at this time. Collins is using the method against Isaiah Thomas to deal with Lin Han. Even if it can force Lin Han to not dribble the ball, what can the Knicks change the defensive way, Lin John can also change his offensive style. Now the problem the Knicks gang encounters is actually very simple. It was the defense of the Pistons when they faced Jordan.
Using Rodman to wait for a big man is too slow, using Jodumas to wait for a small one is too short. Finally, for a long time, everyone went together. It was just that the Pistons could play together with Jordan. Can the Knicks play together with Lin Han? Obviously not. Malone may be hungry at this time.
Looking at Lin Han who was playing with the Pistons outside at this time, when Larry Bird looked at Malone, this time the Jazz inside player had already jumped in a hurry, especially when Lin Han once The dribble into the inside attracted a lot of defense, and Malone even had a lot of opportunities for air relays, but Lin Han didn’t see these opportunities because of passing and vision problems. Instead, he still attacked himself or directly withdrew to the penalty area. The power forward of the Jazz can hardly describe it with a straight jump.
And seeing such an interesting scene as Lin Han and Malone, Larry Bird really has an urge to laugh.
"Lin Han's passing is really too problematic. If his passing is better, he can reach the top of the league. No, even if the league is second-class, with his current ball control ability and containment, as long as he is equipped with a capable If he can bounce inside, he can average at least 5 assists per game in at least one game. If he can be equipped with a Malone or David Robinson inside, even if he averages more than 10 assists per game. Not surprising"
As far as this game is concerned, if Lin Han’s pass can keep up, Malone alone will have at least 6 absolute offensive opportunities at least, while others will go without saying, if Lin Han is willing to pass and can Pass, then the other jazz players like Russell or Pollinis, they will not stand and watch while attacking, but will constantly cut or run, as long as Lin Han is willing to pass the ball, almost all inside opportunities.
"However, even if this game is a Linhan who can only attack himself and cannot pass the ball, I am afraid that the Knicks will face a fiasco in this game?"
At the end of the second quarter of this game, when the Knicks finished the first half of the game with a 35-50 score and ended the half, when all Knicks players walked off the court, almost all of them bowed their heads At this time, Larry Bird also said after sighing.
Even if Lin Han did not use his own offensive and ball control to promote the offensive of his teammates, but 10 of 17 half scored 28 points, such a score is still terrible.
"It seems that the Knicks' game is really weak."
In the halftime game, they were 15 points behind the Jazz. Such a contrast has almost no hope of a comeback. For the Knicks, they hope to win this game. For them who have completely changed their tactics, Losing in the first game means that their tactical change is a mistake. In this case, hitting the team is not as simple as losing a game.
"Maybe the Knicks will make changes in the second half, but they really have no hope of winning this game."
After Collins finished speaking, Larry Bird nodded.
Will the Knicks change this game in the second half? Obviously, even knowing how to return to the past may be useless. But at the very least, it is also a change. Everyone will have a fluke mentality when they are desperate.
Maybe the other party is really strangled by themselves. So when the game started in the second half, the Knicks did change in the lineup. The original starter Anthony Mason was replaced by Starks, the regular season, who was almost stunned by Lin Han's shooting guard.
The Knicks defender is not high or strong, but the downside is very stable and his physical fitness is very good. Last year's playoffs, Jordan made a three-pointer like a dregs. He faced him with a height that was much shorter than him. Starks, who had a steady plate, had no way to get it. Not high, Starks is the Jordan killer. That's really good, not high. Faced with the shooters Reggie Miller and Lin Han, it is really not too much to expect.
So, when the second half started, it already had a huge advantage of 15 points. The team's situation is again dominant. So Lin Han came up in the first quarter of the third quarter, it was really to play the tumor to the extreme. In the face of Starks, who was much shorter than him, the jazz rookie took the ball and threw it himself. Ah, whether it is to play without a ball or to hold a ball, whether it is Oakley to come up for defense, as long as Lin Han has the ball in his hand, he will throw it.
It seems that there is no scrutiny at all. If all his shots are missed, it will cause harm to the team.
In fact, Lin Han couldn't feel good or bad in this game. In short, it is average, but even a very general feel. As Lin Han’s defensive player in the third quarter, Starks were beaten and collapsed. In the last round, he was thrown down by Reggie Miller. He was finally trusted by the team’s head coach again and returned to the starting lineup. The lineup, but if possible, Starks are really reluctant to come up against Lin Han.
As long as Lin Han got the ball and jumped straight in front of him, the Knicks’ defensive player had a feeling of being hit hard, just like Reggie Miller in the last round. Why did Jim Miller score 25 points in a single quarter?
That’s because Starks collapsed in the first three quarters by Reggie Miller. In the fourth quarter, he faced a madman like Reggie Miller. It collapsed directly, and now, Lin watched Lin from the bench John abused his teammates in the first half, and Starks was in the same mood as when he faced Reggie Miller.
All of them are already out of control. If he played the most perfect season of his career in the face of Jordan last season and became famous at one fell swoop, then this season facing Reggie Miller and Lin Han is really a season of debt repayment. And compared to Reggie Miller, Lin Han was even more speechless. Although Reggie Miller made a three-point shot, he did not have the ability to hold the ball anyway. His offensive continuity and scoring explosiveness were not so strong.
But Lin Han is different. As long as this guy is willing, he can really throw the ball!
"Starks is going to collapse, Starks is going to collapse!"
"This guy is not at the same weight as Lin, and now it seems that he has no courage to defend!"
"It's too cruel, it's really cruel, Lin is so cruel, the Knicks were completely exploded in this game!"
"Charles Oakley, Anthony Mason Jr., John Starks, these three are the top three gangsters in New York. The New York gang is named because of these three, but in this game, all three were defeated by Lin Han It’s incredible, it’s incredible!"
"The Knicks have played. The Knicks are completely over!"
When the third quarter began, Lin Han continued to shoot outside the three-point line, and the entire Knicks' defense was almost shaky under the constant attack of Lin Han's three-pointer. With Lin Han, who nearly smashed the team's defense line with his own strength, the Knicks' face was a bit gray, and even his entire basketball world view was as shaky as the Knicks' defense in this game.
"Is this really not our time?".
When Jordan took the nba throne as a perimeter player with a team without a super center, Jordan’s greatness was that he truly ruled the entire league as an perimeter player, and all the other super insiders were almost turbulent under his power. trembling.
And now, when Lin Han appears and shoots their strongest championship-level defense in a pure outside attack, the entire Knicks are almost under the attack of Lin Han. trembling!
Whether it is Lin Han or Jordan, if these two players are placed in the past, it is impossible to appear players, and now, these two almost contrary to traditional players actually appeared at the same time!
When Ewing looked at the collapsing teammate who had been beaten by Lin Han, there was a moment of silence.
When Lin Han faced the Knicks' change and continued to attack the starter himself, with little hesitation, the outcome of this game was already doomed!
At the end of the third quarter, Lin Han threw 14 three-pointers in a single quarter and hit 6 of them. He scored 22 points in a single game. When he scored more than 50 points after the third quarter, when Lin Han walked off the court As he went down, the entire delta center shouted Lin Han's name.
50 points in the third quarter. With the Jazz leading the Knicks by more than 20 points in the third quarter, Lin Han cannot play in the fourth quarter. Even if Lin Han plays in the fourth quarter, the Knicks will do their best to contain Lin Han. Lin Han will score more than 60 points, but even if he can't score more than 60 points in this game, 50 points in three quarters, this is still a legend!
Therefore, when Lin Han came down from the court with excitement, even the team's head coach, Jerry Sloan, who had always been unsmiling on the sidelines, hugged Lin Han with excitement at this time!
"Lin, thank you! Your expression is really great!"
It's just obvious that although the entire Jazz are cheering for the upcoming victory in the first finals, as the team's head player, when the game is over, the Jazz beat the Knicks 108-80 at home. At that time, Malone's face was a bit dark in the fourth quarter.
The team was very happy to win, but 13 shots and 7 hits in a single game with 18 points and 11 rebounds, such data can make him unhappy.
One shot was 13 shots and the other was 32 shots. After the game, when the Jazz players walked to the court to salute the fans again, Malone looked a little complicated at Lin Han, who was almost worshipped by all the fans.
It's just that not many people notice Malone's face at this time, because this is the first finals victory in the history of the Jazz. Almost everyone is in a crazy celebration!
"Won, won, we will be the championship, we will definitely be the championship!"
"Yes, this year's championship will definitely be ours!"
"50 points in three quarters, 50 points in three quarters, Lin Han's performance in this game is really outstanding!"
After the game ended, the Delta Center fell into a frenzy~EbookFREE.me~ At this time, Larry Bird and Collins in the commentary had an incredible feeling when they saw this scene. Winning a game is like winning. The whole finals may also be because the Knicks lost so badly.
The final game lost nearly 30 points in a single game, which is not common in the history of NBA.
"Now the league has entered the jazz age!"
Finally looking at the Jazz celebrating wildly on the pitch, Larry Bird said after a slight sigh.
The league officially entered the era of jazz, just as the Bulls defeated the Lakers League and entered the era of the bulls.
The appearance of Jordan leads a new era, and the appearance of Lin Han leads a new era!
Will the whole league become more and more interesting after that guy comes back next season, new era, new nba? (To be continued...)
