Vol 2 Chapter 229: Never shrink back!

(For monthly tickets, for subscriptions, for recommendations, there will be a chapter later today, three more today, but the third chapter may be a little late, and bookworms who can’t wait can read up tomorrow)
Although Lin Han can now use his fingertips to dribble, it must be said that this skill is more effective in the hands of a point guard than in the hands of a shooting guard. Now the biggest effect of Lin Han’s ability to use this skill is Reduce the center of gravity when you dribble and the stability of your own ball control. As for this skill's confusion on the opponent's defense, it makes the opponent's defense judgment wrong. Although this attack can also be used, it is obvious that this effect has cheated the point guard. The passing of the opponent's defense is more beneficial. If Lin Han can use this effect perfectly, he can use this skill to mess up the Knicks' internal defense in the first few games and still be able to deliver the ball to Malone. I'm afraid Malone doesn't have so many reasons to humiliate him.
Although the whole world knows that the Knicks have no threat to the Jazz, when the Jazz finals will win, Lin Han and Malone will definitely have conflicts for the most important mvp trophy in the finals, unless one of the two is willing to give up this Honor, it is obvious that Malone cannot give up this honor, and Lin Han will naturally not give up this honor, this is not just how the honor itself, but both of them know that in the second half of the regular season, although, With the regular season mvp, Malone forcibly stabilized his team's position as the boss, but in the playoffs, Lin Han is a real big player. Malone can't compare with Lin Han in performance.
Otherwise, Malone would not be too excited for Lin Han to be suspended in the third game with the Rockets. That is because he wanted to suppress Lin Han too much, but the final result was that although he worked hard However, when Lin Han did not do it, Lin Han alone could not lead Olajuwon, nor did he prove that he could win Olajuwon. In addition to the behind-the-scenes separation of Tomjanovich, Lin Han and Malone forced to endure that tone in order to defeat the Rockets at that time. But whether it was Lin Han or Malone, the two people's breath had not disappeared.
Before. The two have a common goal, and they are the common goal of matching interests. Although the two are funny, they are not stupid, so they do not want the other side to become their own obstacles and drag their hind legs. Both of them know that they want To get the highest honor of the finals is to enter the finals, and to enter the finals you need to defeat the Rockets. And now, the Rockets have also defeated the Finals and made progress. Even in the first game of the Finals, the team laid an almost win-win situation. After two consecutive victories in two games, all the public opinion in the United States will now The balance turned to the Jazz side.
Knicks want to make a comeback? Joke, the Knicks lost a total of more than 40 points in the first two games. No one game can let people see the hope of winning. Whether it is using the original tactics or using changed tactics, this team is not a jazz team. 'S opponents, in this case, unless this team will black out after returning to their home court!
just. Although the Knicks are the largest mafia team in the league and are known as gangsters, don't forget. Although the Jazz do not have the name of a gangster, whether it is Malone, Stockton or Lin Han, which of the three is not a fierce tyrant? You can look at the two regular seasons behind Rodman and Linhan of the Spurs. Rodman wants to abolish Linhan. The final result is that the two of them really have to abolish each other on the court. Rodman, not Lin Han, can sustain it!
In this case, even the loyal Knicks fans will not think that their team can beat the Jazz at this time, and even this time the Knicks media and fans have shouted and killed Pat Riley. It's clear that the season is over and it's time to calculate the general ledger.
And when the Knicks are no longer a threat. When the championship is already something to explore, the common goals of Lin Han and Malone have changed. If everyone can win the championship together, they can still help each other to complement each other's goals, so to fight for the finals mvp this is not a complementary goal.
And this time the finals mvp is not only the honor of Malone winning the Grand Slam nor the practical significance of Lin Han’s system rewards. This also has a direct final meaning for the team's status as the boss. Malone wants to use a grand slam to press Lin Han under him for a few years, so that Lin Han can give him a good brother for a few years, and Lin John wants to be like Jordan, magicians like Larry Bird and other legends to quickly ascend to establish his league status.
Everyone knows that when a player sits in the position of the second brother for a long time, even if his honor is against the sky, no matter how much the champion gets, it is just that. When Malone retires, after Lin Han retires, when someone says who is The greatest player of the Jazz, the one who wants Hei Linhan only needs one sentence. Lin Han is strong, and he is not Malone's younger brother. Malone is obedient and obedient.
Of course Lin Han did not think so much, nor did he think so far, because this year’s regular season mvp selection Pippen’s poor vote rate has made Lin Han clearly understand one thing, he has not had so much time to wait Malone and Stockton are getting old. If he is just pursuing the treatment of an ordinary superstar, he can wait until Malone and Stockton get old, and then pick up their class. His goal is Jordan, a legend of the magician and labard level, then he can’t stare at Pippen, Pippen has worked so hard this season, Jordan has retired, he has not been able to change himself in the expert Unlike the status and views of fans, the hat of the millennium second-hander is not to be removed, but Lin Han is different. Malone is not as strong as Jordan, and he is not as weak as Pippen. Of course, Pippen is not Weak, but Jordan is too strong, so Pippen’s lack of usurpation does not mean that Lin Han cannot succeed.
In the same way, Lin Han does not have the chances of magicians and Jordan and Chamberlain. Jordan and Chamberlain are the bosses when they come in. The magician is hurt at the critical moment when he comes in. The luck of these guys is the protagonist of Hongguo. Template, Lin Han does not have such good luck and opportunity, then create it yourself, just like Larry Bird did, but Lin Han did not think about it. Larry Bird was so ruthless, Lin Han never thought about it After the competition is successful, Malone will be driven away. Similarly, Malone didn't think about driving Lin Han away after he succeeded, but if Malone failed, would he want to oust Lin Han or himself. After Lin Han's failure, it will not know whether he will drive away Malone and himself.
Anyway, for these two teases, they never thought about what they would do if they failed.
Both of them thought about their success. Will make every effort to leave the other person at ease to be his younger brother, Jordan is not to be able to envelope Pippen, let Pippen feel at ease as a younger brother, isn't Pippon giving him what he wants? Lin Han and Malone thought they could have such a skill.
Of course, after defeating the Knicks in two consecutive games, the Jazz should be very happy at this time, but obviously, because Malone and Lin Han are now clearly set to grab the posture of the finals mvp. There is a sense of tension in the team. Even when the Jazz took the plane to New York after the second game on June 13th, when the Jazz boarded the plane, the team's atmosphere of tension was more It is clear, and according to the rules, since Lin Han has established his position on the team, he has the status and rights to sit with Malone and Stockton, generally speaking. Lin Han usually chooses to sit with these two when he goes to the plane by plane, and this time, when the players get on the plane. One side, the two didn't even look at each other.
This surprised both the Jazz staff and the flight attendants. After all, Lin Han and Malone were not very wise choices. Although they said that this was the Jazz charter, they were also a lot of people. In the dressing room, the two would make a fuss, and now it’s outside. Even if the two don’t look at each other, they need to keep the blind date on the surface. Haven’t they done well some time ago?
of course. At this time, Jerry Sloan was somewhat dissatisfied with the team's two big players at this time, but fortunately, the team's situation is very good. Even if the two people's affairs are made public, it will not have a great impact on the team's record. After all, the two people's basic goals are all championships, and their pursuits are based on the championship. The two of them did not think of going to the point where you live or die, nor did they reach the point where no one can tolerate anyone.
It's just that as a head coach, he can't pretend to be invisible in such a situation now. After all, no one can guarantee that the confrontation between the two will change.
"It's really troublesome?"
Finally, after sitting in his seat, Jerry Sloan also thought with a sigh that a team that can have three superstars such as Malone, Linhan and Stockton is really very happy, but Now that we have suffered so much happiness, we naturally need to suffer some troubles, which is inevitable.
For the Jazz, Lin Han Malone and Stockton are no different, the three are the team's most important players.
The Jazz are not the same as the Lakers or other NBA teams. Salt Lake City only has a population of 180,000. For the NBA team, the biggest income for a team is the broadcast fee and ticket income, and the NBA bonus is very small. , The surrounding income is not much, let’s talk about the broadcast fee, the broadcast fee is divided by the alliance to sell, that is, how many people are sold equally, this is the total income of the alliance is calculated on the annual salary cap, and the other part The broadcast fee is the difference between the big city and the small city. The broadcast fee is privately sold. After all, the nba team has 82 games, and the national live broadcast game will not exceed 40 games even if the Lakers are in a season. What to do with 40 games that are not broadcast live in the United States. Fans naturally need to watch from other TV stations and channels. Generally speaking, they are charged. Large cities like Los Angeles and New York have a large base of fans and are willing to spend money to watch live broadcasts. There are also many, and the selling price is naturally high. According to Alice, the Lakers seem to be signing a 25-year 5 billion contract in the future. Lin Han was shocked when he heard it. Of course, this income was counted as a ball. The team's extra-speed, which is not included in the total income of the league, will naturally not be reflected in the salary cap. It is also reflected in the difference between large and small teams. If it is a small team, the external speed is less. As long as the salary is higher than the salary cap, the team is at a loss, and the boss needs to pay for it. Naturally, the boss who has no money will try his best to prevent the team’s salary from being higher than the salary cap, and the big team will not have that scrutiny, like Los Angeles. And New York. In the coming year, the income of FPS will be close to 200 million. Even if their luxury tax is paid 100 million a year, they will not lose money.
and so. For Lin Han and Malone and Stockton, the three of them have little meaning for the team to sell the broadcast fee. Even if the Jazz have Jordan, how much can he sell for the 2.6 million people in Salt Lake City? Let’s talk about another big income, the team’s ticket income, 6% of the regular season ticket income is owned by the league, and the playoffs are 45% owned by the league. This part of the income is also counted as the league’s total income and is calculated into the salary. Among the caps. After the league put together 6% of regular season tickets and 45% of playoff tickets, the average distribution is the fixed ticket income for each team. As for the other 94% of regular season and 55% of the playoffs, it is also the ball The team's extra fast.
In cities like New York and Los Angeles, when Jordan went to New York to play away games, the average ticket for a regular season game in New York can be as high as more than 1,000 US dollars. It is estimated that this year's playoffs, don't look at the Knicks as a ghost. The next time Lin Han went to Madison Square, the ticket may be more expensive than $1,000, even if the ticket is more expensive. New York is also not worried about watching without fans, but if the Delta Center, as long as the ticket is raised to 100 US dollars. I'm afraid there won't be many fans who are really willing to come in and watch, even if the Jazz have Jordan Galingham, there is no way, the population is 180,000, but fortunately the Jazz fans are loyal enough, even if the population is 180,000, the tickets are actually Not counting the bottom of the NBA, the real bottom is the Charlotte Hornets and Atlanta Hawks, these two teams are too sad to remind. The control range of all is not only the control range but also the control range of the strongest alliance alliance. Even if the tickets are free, the fans may not be able to fill up.
So don't look at Lin Han's popularity. The benefits the Jazz can gain from Lin Han’s popularity are limited, because the heavens are too poor to sell much at home, and in this case, the Jazz are completely different from other nba teams.
Just like Salt Lake City Utah is different from the rest of the United States, the Jazz are different from other nba teams. Generally speaking, money is not discussed here, because everyone knows that there is no money, really no money, you really want it Money, then leave, the team does not stop, the team owner does not run the team to make money, really want to make money, the Jazz can move to Miami, and don’t talk about business value with the team, because even Jordan has no commercial value when he comes here.
In this case, the Jazz team is more emotionally focused than other nba teams, more pure, but it has a lot less copper odor, and everyone is more willing to talk about feelings, just like the former jazz coach Lao Lei. Deng handed over his position to his own student Jerry Sloan just like his own son, who is the general manager and the student is the head coach.
Therefore, Lin Han never thought of threatening the team to push Malone down on his own commercial value to help him get on the horse. It is doomed to fail in the jazz without talking about emotions to talk about money. Of course, since the jazz wants to play with emotions, And Lin Han wants to suppress Malone and Malone wants to suppress Lin Han is destined to be unable to talk about emotions, then what should I do? Then it is natural to speak of strength, whether it is Lin Han or Malone is very clear.
Now when the two come to this step, they are talking about strength. Playing those crooked things is useless. Salt Lake City and the Jazz are so simple.
It's just that although Lin Han and Malone really don't talk about feelings and speak with strength, this does not mean that others are willing to do the same.
From the perspective of the Jazz, the three are really equally important. In the past, when Stockton and Malone were so close to each other, there was no contradiction. Why can't they fall in love after adding a Lin Han?
For this point, the Jazz up to the boss to the head coach do not want this to happen. For a team like the Jazz, it is not easy to get these three together, especially now why so many people in the league Staring at Lin Han, many people in the league believe that Lin Han will not stay in the Jazz for three years, because after the Lin Han rookie contract is full, the Jazz really have no money to leave three superstars, even if the Jazz boss forcefully supports the team's performance. One or two years later, after Malone and Stockton retired, at the growth rate of Lin Han, at that time, it was a popular candidate for the first person in the league. The first person in the league was not just looking at it, and it required huge money. To build a lineup for him.
The Jazz don't have the capital to own the league's most popular superstars. So in the league's most recent period, since the end of the regular season and the Lakers publicly showed their love to Lin Han, many teams including the Blazers have shown their love to Lin Han. Everyone is not a fool, unless old Miller is playing a bankruptcy, Lin Han will be thrown out sooner or later. All the Jazz can do is build a king team in the past few years, while Lin Han is still underpaid.
and so. The team really hopes that the three can grasp the best of the team during this time, creating a true legend for Salt Lake City and the Jazz. Even Old Miller thought about it, when his financial resources cannot support it, he will The team sold at a low price, hoping to find a boss to take over the team, this boss must have the financial resources to build a lineup for Lin Han. To be able to keep the team in the Jazz, it is clear that Old Miller is a cute fool, but there are not many such cute fools in the capital world of the United States. There is a cash cow like Lin Han who does not move to New York and Los Angeles to stay. Dry hair in Salt Lake City? Even if you move to New York and Los Angeles, you need to pay $100 million in "contribution" to other league teams.
Therefore, since the boss is so ‘cute’ and even the team’s future design is well thought out, they have already made a good sense of their bankruptcy, and Jerry Sloan can’t watch on the side, so recently. The head coach of the Jazz really wanted to quell the dispute between Lin Han and Malone.
Just to think about it, unless there are two mvp in this year's finals, otherwise these two people are really difficult to stop. Even if there are two mvp this year, these two can't stop, they always have to win a victory.
How to solve the problems of Lin Han and Malone, this is the most important and most troublesome problem for the Jazz boss, general manager and head coach, so when all the Jazz get off the plane, they come to the New York Jazz with the team Boss Old Miller can say that he didn't act alone but kept discussing this issue with the team's head coach and general manager.
What made the three people speechless was that they hadn't discussed something. The news that Lin Han and Malone had broken their faces had already spread.
Although no one on the Jazz has thought about hiding Lin Han and Malone's problems completely. This is not possible and it was okay in the regular season. In the finals, when the United States. When the media around the world are staring at the Jazz, they want to hide this extremely obvious thing unless everyone is a fool. In fact, after the second game between the Jazz and the Knicks, Malone missed the post-match press conference. Many reporters who follow the team in the local media of Salt Lake City already know exactly what happened to the team.
It's just that at this time, for the team's overall picture, the Salt Lake City media did not report this news, and now, the things on the plane between Lin Han and Malone are so obvious, it is impossible to make people wonder.
"Did Karl and Lin have a conflict because of the mvp problem in the finals? No, this is not true at all. Everyone knows that the finals have reached a very critical period, although we will not use very inferior means. Guess something, but I think we need to be alert to the maliciousness of many media"
In the face of the news that Lin Han and Malone were infighting almost instantly, the Jerry Sloan was having a headache with the team’s owner and general manager. However, as the team’s assistant coach, Mayfair Johnson directly denied it. He even pointed his finger directly at the New York media, saying that the New York media are playing tricks. Of course, if it had been before, there was indeed such a possibility.
Lin Han has contradictions with Malone and Stockton, and this kind of news is not the first time. The New York Post also reported that the three people played a 4p with a cheerleader because of uneven splits, which caused a broken relationship and broke out. This kind of lace news, even a fool knows, must be nonsense, and everyone will be fine after reading it.
This time was different, and this time the media that reported the discord between Lin Han and Malone was not the New York Times or the New York Post, but the capital’s media, the Washington Post!
The New York media are all criticizing Pat Riley at this time, and they never thought that the Jazz would play this. So when the Washington Post broke the news, these New York media only heard the news and had entered a dead end. The Knicks are actually going to bloom again. If Lin Han and Malone really have a problem, isn’t the Knicks’ chance to come?
This directly caused Mayer Johnson to blame all the blame on the New York media in an interview, which caused almost dissatisfaction with the New York media on the scene, not to mention the New York media's dissatisfaction at this time. The assistant coach's cover-up, and evading responsibility by avoiding the heaviest. These guys are quite dissatisfied.
It's just that Mayfair Johnson didn't want to say more, that would be fine. This is also a lateral confirmation of Lin Han and Malone's problem, since you don't say it. They can also dig themselves. For these guys, they can all get out of the scandal of the US president, not to mention the infighting of a small jazz team.
Soon, the next day the Jazz came and went to New York, on June 15, the crucial battle between the Jazz and the New York Knicks in the third game, as long as the Jazz won. Then you can announce in advance that you won the championship. If you lose, then there will be suspense.
It's just that, at this time, in the entire NBA, the entire US public opinion community, there are not many people who pay attention to the victory or defeat of this game. The front page headlines of almost all media sizes are a news for jazz fans.
"Linhan Malone has a great break because of the mvp in the finals!"
"Whose team is the Jazz? Malone Linhan roared in the locker room!"
"The content of Malone Linhan's internal strife was exposed, Malone blamed Lin Han for being too independent, and the best rookie hit back: soft egg!"
"The Knicks will bloom. The Nuggets have a miracle again?!"
"Chance, huge opportunity, the Knicks coach said he would stick to the third game! The finals are not over yet!"
This happened on the day of the game between the Jazz and the Knicks. The fans of the Jazz are really ignorant. Although most of the fans of the Jazz are in Salt Lake City at this time, no matter whether they are fans or left-behind fans, after the news of the infighting of Lin Han and Malone at this time, Basically everything is a sentence.
"Why is this happening?"
Why this is the case, this is the question for all Jazz fans!
Of course, at this time, the fans of the Jazz who were already celebrating the victory are asking why this is the case. For the Knicks fans, they are naturally impossible to ask such questions. These New York fans who could hardly see any hope for this Time has even slogan of all kinds!
"This is God's will. Madison Square will be the grave of Lin Han and the Jazz!"
Whether Madison Square will be Lin Han's grave is hard to say. The words of Willis Reed, a famous New York place, are now the favorite quotes of New York fans.
Even Lin Hei, the league's largest, stood up confidently at this time and said that the Knicks' opportunity for reversal had already emerged.
For a time, two completely different groups had a huge reversal due to the problems of Lin Han and Malone.
of course. Now things are so busy outside, Lin Han and Malone as the parties are naturally impossible to hide, although after each training will be surrounded by reporters, although Lin Han and Malone will be expressed after expressing themselves to each other Appreciation means that there is no problem between the two.
But although the two said so on their mouths, it really didn't mean to want to do it in action. Even if the two ended training at the same time, there was no interaction. Obviously, the reason they said so was because of the ball. The arrangement and needs of the team management, so at this time, neither Lin Han nor Malone felt that there was no need to cover up.
Do what you want to do, there is no need to consider the feelings of the opponent and the team like the Rockets. Neither Lin Han nor Malone now have the Knicks in their eyes, even this time the Knicks Fans think they see hope.
Of course, Lin Han and Malone are not so much concerned now. As the team’s head coach Jerry Sloan, he still needs to pay attention to some influences, so he will lay out the code of conduct for the two disciples. Hope that the two Even if you pretend, you have to pretend that there is no problem, but these two teasing ratios are basically Yang Fengyin violation, even a fool can see that these two guys are pretending.
So, at noon on June 15th, after finishing the morning physical training, Lin Han was called into his room by Jerry Sloan.
"Lin, I really appreciate your contribution to the team this season. We all know that if you don’t have the team, let’s say we won the championship in the Finals, even if we can make it to the Western Conference finals. One problem, maybe we were out of the first round just like last season"
"As the team's head coach, I really appreciate everything you did to the team"
When Lin Han walked into the team's coach's room with a very complicated mood, Jerry Sloan's first sentence directly stunned Lin Han, but soon shook his head bitterly.
Jerry thanked him more than once this season. Lin Han knew this. Just when the team defeated the Knicks for the first time a few days ago, Jerry Sloan thanked him excitedly. Because Lin Han knew that the victory in that game made Jerry Sloan see the greatest hope of defeating Pat Riley and winning the championship.
It's just obvious. For Lin Han, if Jerry Sloan had given him a chance, he might also be able to enter the NBA, but can the Lakers be the same as the Jazz? For Lin Han in the first season, the Lakers' assistance to Lin Han is obviously not as good as that of the Jazz. It can be said that Lin Han can achieve such achievements today. Jerry Sloan is the biggest hero, so many thanks to Jerry Sloan . Lin Han never accepted.
This time, Lin Han knew very well that this time Jerry Sloan's gratitude was heavier than any other time, because Jerry Sloan was not thanking him!
When Jerry Sloan finished these two sentences, Lin Han knew what the Jazz coach was doing!
"Lin, you and Karl are the most important players on the team. I really don’t want this to happen to the two of you. You are still young. I hope you can give Karl a little bit in this game."
When Jerry Sloan said this request with a wry smile. Lin Han did not have any accidents at this time, but even if there were no accidents, no matter how Lin Han's face was still changing, it was terrifying. Jerry Sloan was really bitter when he saw Lin Han, whose face was changing and silent.
After Jerry Sloan finished speaking, even this silence was a torment for the jazz coach. He didn’t know what Lin Han’s decision would be, but no matter what Lin Han’s decision was, he knew that when After speaking this request, his gratitude to Lin Han will end!
"Coach, is this your choice?!"
When Lin Han broke the silence and stared at Jerry Sloan. Looking at Lin Han's calm look, Jerry Sloan said nothing. No matter how shameful you can clearly see the face.
"If this is your choice, I won't embarrass you. Rest assured."
Looking at Jerry Sloan, who was stuck in silence at this time, Lin Han turned away after leaving lightly, and looking at Lin Han's back, Jerry Sloan shook his head bitterly again.
Just before Lin Han came in, Malone was also called in by Jerry Sloan. If Lin Han knew that Jerry Sloan had even made the same request to Malone, the Jazz rookie would be surprised.
It's just obvious that Lin Han didn't know. He didn't know that Jerry Sloan asked the country's Malone, and he didn't know what Malone's answer was.
"Thank you, Lin"
After watching Lin Han leave, Jerry Sloan murmured in pain.
And when Lin Han left Jerry Sloan’s room, the anger in his heart was really overwhelming, although he knew that as a head coach, he couldn’t watch the two players on the team for a long time, although Lin Han also I know that if Jerry Sloan has a choice, he is more likely to support Malone, because in the design of the management of the Jazz team, he hopes that Lin Han can wait for a few years. After Malone and Stockton get old, he will normally take over. After all, This is the safest way and the most acceptable choice for everyone on the team. After all, for a player, the biggest pursuit is Jordan and magician Larry Bird~EbookFREE.me~ but as a ball Team, the biggest pursuit does not necessarily need to be his player is Jordan, the magician is Larry Bird, as long as the team’s players can bring the team a championship, especially the Jazz, Old Miller is not just hoping to be able to Is it true that bringing a champion to Salt Lake City and Utah is a true legendary dynasty? As long as this step is achieved, it doesn't make any difference whether the player is in the form of a bull or a piston.
But hearing such words from Jerry Sloan made Lin Han a little angry.
"Coward, are you really going to give up this year? If you really give up, I am afraid it will be difficult to get up for a long time."
"Give up? How is it possible!"
Hearing Alice’s words, Lin Han said angrily. He could obey Jerry Sloan’s words and gave Malone a bit in this game. But now, Lin Han is not the former Lin Han.
He is not a scoring player, he has many ways to compete!
Now that this step has been reached, how could it be possible to flinch! (To be continued)
