(Second more)
At 8 o'clock in the evening on December 20, 1994, the stands of the Los Angeles Forum Arena were already full. Although the Lakers have a fair record in recent times, the overall record of the season is 13 wins and 10 losses. For the current Lakers, it is absolutely excellent, and more importantly, today's game between the Lakers and the Timberwolves, but the Lakers fans' revenge.
When the two teams were in the preseason, the Timberwolves and Lakers were called one of the weakest teams in the NBA, especially the Lakers were considered the weakest team in the league in the preseason, either for other reasons, or Because the Timberwolves stepped on the Lakers, stepped on the feet of the Lakers.
Although the predictions of the Lakers before the start of the season are basically all backed by Lin Han and the Lakers, but in the preseason, the Lakers even lost the Timberwolves, which still makes the Lakers fans not such a thing. At that time, the Lakers fans did not report any hope for the Lakers' record this season, so even if the Lakers are really lost and lost, they will not boo to the team at home.
But the Lakers lost even the Timberwolves, and it seemed shameless to lose. Eventually, the Lakers fans, who were just sitting on the sidelines, couldn't help but boast about the team.
This year's preseason eight-game losing streak, this is a very tragic history of the Lakers, and although this is not so important for the Lakers in the record rankings, but in other respects, it is quite important, not to mention this game in Before the game, the Timberwolves in the league's last few performances this season were still stable, but they threatened to use the Lakers game to end their losing streak!
And such remarks are quite stimulating to the Lakers fans. Therefore, before the game, this game was regarded by the Lakers fans as a must-win game!
"Although the Lakers' stadium looks a little rough. But the atmosphere at the scene is not bad."
In the stands of the Forum Arena, after the Timberwolves played, Lin Han, as the Lakers' head player, when the finale played, the cheers of the entire Forum Arena came to the largest decibel, and this time in the Forum Arena stands Lin Han's family also waved his arms to Lin Han, especially Lin Han's little sister. After seeing Lin Han out, the little face was a little flushed with excitement.
On the contrary, Ling Meng, who has been arguing with Lin Wei recently, seems quite calm at this time. The Lin Han explained that the girl who stole from Tianchao did not seem to watch the game on the spot.
but. Regarding Lingmeng's words, Lin Wei, who was sitting on his side, pouted, and hummed, this little was pretending to be. And it must be loaded!
of course. At this time, Lin Han on the court would naturally not know what happened in the stands. In fact, after he played, when the players of both sides walked on the court, the Timberwolves' outside player Leder found Lin Han. .
For Lin Han, Isaiah Leder is almost invincible. The Timberwolves, who was able to finish Lin Han on the offensive end, was one of the nba’s best young players last season. Known as the strongest four rookie outsiders. The identity of the Four Little Super Swingers made him a real son of the Timberwolves for a long time.
But in the end, as a young rookie. In the conflict between Lin Han and the big players such as Drexler and Pippen, Leder actually became the sought-after of Pippen and Drexler. As a young man, a rookie, in the new and old Even if Lin Han is not helped in the confrontation, he is very mentally handicapped to the side of Pippen and others to fight against Lin Han, and eventually he is completely exploded by Lin Han, which also makes him such a promising young outside line hit by many people. Has a question mark!
In this season, among the four super swingers last season, Lin Han ranked first in the league so far this season, the second in the league's scoring list, fourth in assists, second in steals, and even more rebounds per game. It ranks first with 14 rebounds, and the block list is also ranked first with 4.3 blocks per game. Although these data will definitely decline by the end of the season, there is no doubt that the top of the four small swingers was already One of the league's best players, at least in terms of data, no one has been able to brush Lin Han!
Hardaway, ranked second among the four small swingers, has maintained the momentum of last season's rise. As a swingman, the average of 23 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists per game has made him now. One of the league's top players, in the previous All-Star vote, Hardaway was already the starting point guard in the East.
As for the other Mashburn, although the Mavericks' performance this season is still average, but Mashburn's previous defense against Pippen scored 50 points in a single game, and this season has so far averaged a terrible 25 The score is currently second only to Jordan, Lin Han and other five players in the scoring list. He is also ranked fourth in the forward position after Malone in the All-Star vote. It looks like this It is also possible to enter the All-Star season. If this guy does enter the All-Star game, then he really has to move on the path of being a superstar!
Four small swingmen, Lin Han is already hitting the league’s first player, delusionally crowning the throne after defeating Jordan, and Hardaway is already in the position of hitting the league superstar, as long as he enters the All-Star starting this year, regular The game gained more honors, and went further in the playoffs, then he can achieve the position of superstar. As for Marshburn, the small forward is also preparing to charge toward the position of quasi-superstar. It can be said that four Except for his trailing player, the other players are walking along a prosperous road.
And he? The Timberwolves' record this season is only a bit better than the Clippers. It is still the penultimate in the West, and he only averaged 20 points per game, not even 21 points, even if there is no improvement in the data. In terms of strength and ability, he also seems to be a bit stagnant. Compared with the other three small swingers, Leder is really far away!
Lin Han's sentence last season was very famous. We are no longer a grade, this sentence is almost tormenting Leder day and night, because not only he and Lin Han are no longer a grade player. From the current development point of view, even he, Hardaway and Marshburn are not players of the same grade.
And who caused all this?
Of course it was Lin Han. If Lin Han did not suppress and torment him last season, Leder did not think that he would be inferior to Mashburn. Even if he was inferior to Linhan and Hardaway, he would definitely not be worse than Mashburn. And now. He can feel that because of Lin Han's existence, he can no longer improve!
If he can't beat Lin Han, his achievements throughout his career will be like that. Whenever I think of this place, Leder is almost ashamed!
Although he didn't like Lin Han very much, although he wanted to beat Lin Han very much, he was very clear. Lin Han is very strong. At least he is impossible to beat, if in the past, Lin Han’s teammates, Malone and Stockton and so on, it is even more difficult for him to challenge. It can be said that he wants to avenge Lin Han, then There is really no chance!
Now, when Lin Han leaves the Jazz, his chance is finally here!
"Lin Han. I will beat you in this game, and I will tell you. Leaving the Utah Jazz is the most trashy decision you have made in your life!"
Looking at this extremely ugly old opponent, Lin Han was also stunned. What is the worst decision in my life to leave the Jazz?
"Lin Han, you had a very good opportunity, an opportunity that the world admired. You have the strongest team in the world to support your performance. To be honest, I really envy you very much. Last season I was in the Jazz. I was able to win the championship and the mvp in the finals. Even I can create a dynasty like Jordan, a miracle!"
"And you, you could have all this, but in the end you gave up all this idiot, and me? I am still in a super rotten team, constantly struggling, constantly struggling, It’s all your fault!"
"However, I am very happy now, because I am not alone in a rotten team with no future, but you are in a team that is even worse than me!"
When Leder finished speaking, the Timberwolves' head look was almost fierce, and even the surrounding Timberwolves and Lakers players were startled by Leder.
"Do you know why you can never surpass me?"
"what?!"
"Because I have the courage to create everything, and you have nothing, you are just a coward escaping from reality, nothing more."
After Lin Han finished speaking, he went straight to the half of his team, and the Lakers looked at the Timberwolves with pity and then left with Lin Han.
Looking at Lin Han's back, Leider trembles with anger, and thinks of Lin Han's indifferent attitude that he almost didn't take him seriously. A sentence that made him very uncomfortable. The Timberwolves' head player Teeth creak.
In the current NBA, inside players are very important. The team that can play well with small is almost unique. Even if the Suns have played small for more than ten or twenty years, they are now a tactic that combines inside and outside. Combined with the play of small balls, the team's inside is one of the Lakers' legendary center Green and Barkley, one of the league's best power forwards, even the flying Warriors who played in the playoffs last season. This season also brought Washington Bullets power forward Gugliotta and Heat center Zachary. When a team like the Warriors started to play the twin towers, this basically meant small ball tactics. It completely disappeared in the nba mainstream strong team!
Therefore, at the beginning of the season, no matter how amazing the Mavericks, Pistons, Lakers and Kings, in the eyes of most experts, these teams will fall to the countdown sooner or later, this is the current nba reality!
And this reality also directly led Leder to see Lin Han, and now has the courage to stand in front of Lin Han and roar directly!
In this game, the Timberwolves' starting players are center Leitner, power forward Lukes, small forward Leder, shooting guard Doug West, and point guard Garland. A typical configuration of the fish-belly team. All players on the team do not have first-class defensive capabilities, even if the team has a double tower configuration. However, the defense of the Twin Towers is weak and there is not enough deterrent to the basket.
Even if such an insider can score again, it is a blast in the current league. And it is such a bad inside combination that can make the Timberwolves and the Lakers challenge, from which we can see how weak the Lakers inside line seems to these people.
Especially in the recent period when Rodman was criticized and thought that it has become a waste that can be pensioned, the Lakers' inside line is considered to have completely collapsed.
Therefore, even insiders like the Timberwolves would dare to step on the Lakers before the start of the game, but only after the start of the game. Just when jumping the ball, as the team's starting center Antonio Harvey beat the Timberwolves Shawn Lux in the jumping ball, originally wanted to beat Lin Han in this game with the overall strength of the team Leder was somewhat confused.
Because in his thoughts. The Lakers definitely fall in the first place. Whether this team is jumping or other aspects, it can't be compared with the Timberwolves. After all, this is also the source of confidence that he dares to fight against Lin Han!
And after Harvey's rare jump ball succeeded. When Lin Han held the ball to advance. When the two big men of the Timberwolves couldn't keep up with the speed of the past, as the player who played against Lin Han in this game, Leder was almost directly crushed and killed by Lin Han to the basket. Dunk under the basket one at a time!
The Timberwolves' defense is weak like this, which makes the magicians on the sidelines unbelievable. Is he even wondering if the team really lost this team in the preseason?
At this time, the Magician wondered whether the team lost to the Timberwolves in the preseason. The Lakers fans on the side of the court saw the atmosphere of the entire forum arena after seeing Lin Han crushing Leder to complete the score. Lit. And looking at Lin Han who is enjoying the cheers of the people, Leder was not very beautiful, and his face was completely irony at this time!
If it is on the offensive end. The Timberwolves can't defend the Lakers, so for them, they can still find the field on the defensive end. After all, compared with the outside team, the biggest advantage of the inside team is on the offensive end. The offensive end of the inside team is Absolutely dominate.
With Leitner's all-round capabilities, no Lakers player can stop Leitner, Rodman? This guy is already a waste!
Therefore, when the Timberwolves attacked, Leder received a pass from Garland in the half, facing Lin Han's defense, he was not prepared to beat Lin Han at all, or he hung the basketball directly to the inside. Prepare to beat Rodman's Timberwolves white center Lightner!
As a white insider, Leitner's style is slightly soft, and his athleticism is not too good. However, as the first player of the year, a member of the Dream Team, although in the Dream Team, he was not ridiculed and humiliated by Jordan and other big players. , But in any case, Leitner is a player of the first team of dreams, there are still some in terms of strength, at least the average of 16+7 per game this season, although such data is difficult to enter the All-Star now Or it may be a quasi-all-star level, but it should be no problem to beat Rodman, a media expert, with his height.
But to surprise Letner and Leder or other Timberwolves players, Leitner did not push Rodman at the basket for a long time, and he did not push him. Rodman's personal defense is his best. It’s a good show. Recently, because Olajuwon and David Robinson took turns to take lessons, especially after his defense was useless to Olajuwon and David Robinson, he even doubted his defensive characteristics. Too.
Although Rodman has not fully recovered, there are still some physical and psychological problems, but since he was accepted by Lin Han, Rodman has changed a little bit, at least when he was on the court. There is no longer any feeling that the other Lakers players have nothing to do with him. If you can’t prevent it, you can’t prevent it. The Lakers have nothing to do with losing.
For most players who are not integrated into the team, this mentality is normal. This was the case with Rodman at the Spurs. The Spurs’ winning and losing has a relationship with him. If Rodman really tries his best to defend, Vicki There is not so much material to cut out a Rodman shameful video.
Of course, Rodman now wants him to sacrifice a lot of things for Lin Han like other Lakers players, which is basically impossible. Overall, Rodman is now about the same as Dominique Wilkins, after giving Linham to the pier. Professionalism is back, and this is actually enough for the Lakers and Lin Han.
Before that, Lin Han had never thought about asking this guy to sacrifice for him!
Lightner's strength is very good, his offensive skills are very comprehensive, but after all, he is not Olajuwon or David Robinson. He is just a white pure inside. His footwork and holding the ball are not so good. After being stubbornly resisted by Rodman, he forcibly pushed two steps inside, when Rodman could not be pushed at all. This Timberwolves center can only endure the great force uploaded from Rodman, using his height advantage to directly prepare for the side hook!
At this time, when Leitner just took off and prepared to hook, the ball hadn't finished the shot and was directly fanned out by Lin Han on the side!
"Your attack is too slow!"
"Dennis. Beautifully guarded. Remember this feeling!"
When Lin Han completed the block and directly fanned the ball to the outside, he did not forget to give Rodman a thumbs up. Just after glancing at Lin Han and Rodman, Leitner took a look at this Leider, who was still standing dumb behind Lin Han, was very unhappy!
He really did not expect Leder to be able to withstand even people, so Lin Han had such a good chance to return to the basket to help defense!
At this time, Eddie Jones, who succeeded in grabbing Linhan with Garland for a block rebound, directly got rid of Garland's defense. When rushing to the Timberwolves half, the entire Timberwolves half was empty. When Eddie Jones dunked in the cheers of the Lakers fans, the score of this game has become 4 to 0. The Timberwolves who wanted to beat the Lakers in this game have already felt that they come from the Lakers. Great pressure!
Especially Leder, the development of this game after the start is really completely beyond his expectations!
In this case, when the Timberwolves attacked again, and when Leder was about to pass again to find Leitner, the restless young small forward was directly cut off by Lin Han when he passed the ball!
Lin Han’s ability to pass the ball is almost second to none in the league, and Leder was not a master passer. In addition, when Lin Lin passed the ball, he was still awkward. This is almost dead!
After Lin Han finished the steal and dunked the fast break, the game was only less than a minute, and the Lakers had a 6-0 lead at home!
"I knew how the Timberwolves could be opponents of the Lakers!"
"We lost the preseason game only carelessly, and now that we have run in, the Timberwolves are nothing, nothing!"
"Yes, although we are indeed a bit afraid of the inside team, is the Timberwolves an inside team? Hahahaha!"
When the Lakers directly blinded the Timberwolves less than a minute from the start of the game, when the Lakers started a full-field and half-court press defense against the Timberwolves in the first quarter under such a lineup, the Timberwolves Almost every half of the dribble takes a lot of effort!
Because this team's point guard Garland is a very ordinary point guard, he didn't play in the NBA last season. As for everyone except Garland, even the strongest outside Leider's ball control ability Generally, in this case, when the more athletic Lakers Timberwolves came to the court, even the Timberwolves coach Bill Blass on the sideline was startled.
This is not surprising for the Lakers' full-court press. In fact, many teams have used this tactic against the Timberwolves this season. The Timberwolves' shortcomings are so obvious, how could they not be used?
The key point is that the Lakers in the preseason are all in a mess. The offense is almost a mess of Lakers. Although there is still no tactical system on the offensive end, the cooperation between players has obviously become normal. On the defensive end Even more so, when Lin Han and Rodman were able to collaborate when they were pressing, instead of Lin Han defending, while the other was on the sidelines, Lin Han and Rodman caused the other attack line. The harm is absolutely incalculable!
After losing Grant, the Bulls also lacked an inside pillar, but why can this team be so much better than the Lakers?
This is in addition to Jordan and Pippen really tacit understanding, the Bulls have a complete tactical system, the more important point is that Jordan and Pippen's external pressure defense can make most inside teams simply can not play inside advantage, because inside players He couldn't even get the ball inside, just like last season's Western Conference Jazz pressed the Rockets to keep Olajuwon from receiving the ball!
And now, when Rodman begins to integrate into the team on the defensive end, when Lin Han and Rodman are constantly crazy about the opponent's ball players, now there is a casual inside team in the league. I'm afraid it's hard to defeat the Lakers!
Therefore, as the game progressed, even Lakers who were very opinionated about Rodman and even disliked Rodman, after seeing Rodman finally working the court, and after After the synergy effect after the collaboration, these Lakers players were also silent.
Although the Timberwolves team is very weak, but the Lakers defensively against the inside team in this game is definitely the best this season!
Even in the game with the Jazz, Malone played so much, but that was only Lin Han’s personal defense, which had nothing to do with the team’s coordination, and now it is completely different!
Therefore, when the game ended, when the Lakers defeated the Timberwolves 116-85 at home and a 30-point score, facing the entire boiling forum arena, the Lakers players and The side coach Magic was very happy, and as the starting player, Lin Han did not play in the fourth quarter. When the game was over, Lin Han on the sidelines were already applauding the Lakers bench players.
It can be seen that Lin Han is very satisfied with this game. Before the battle with Jordan and the Bulls, it is very important for the team to complete a certain degree of sublimation!
"Dennis, good job"
Finally, after looking at the somewhat silent Lakers inside, Lin Han opened his hands directly, and Rodman chose to hug Lin Han after hesitating a little.
The Lakers players who saw this scene had a complex face at this time, but they were not ridiculing Rodman.
As for the Magician, Adelman, Hubby Brown, and even Jerry West in the stands, they nodded with a smile when they saw this scene.
"It seems that Rodman's body has almost recovered~ EbookFREE.me~ is also much better mentally than before, and the team is finally on track!"
Especially Jerry West, as the head of this team, the Lakers are in very good condition.
"Now see if Petrie can bring that old man over"
Thinking of the old man at Princeton University, Jerry West also shook his head with a wry smile. In the American basketball world, there are not many people who can give him a headache. The old man full of artistic cells is definitely one.
After defeating the Timberwolves at home on December 20th, the Lakers defeated the Kings 106-97 at home on December 22nd. In this game, Lin Han once again scored a double 20, 28 points and 21 Rebounds, although the triple-double per game is gone, but it seems that Lin Han's rebounding road this season has become more and more smooth!
Similarly, before the Christmas War between the Lakers and the Bulls on December 25, the Lakers finally achieved a long-lost streak! (To be continued...)
