Vol 3 Chapter 330: Twenty three vs twenty four!

(Second, it is already 4:30 in the morning, it is really unsustainable, go to lie down first, make up the third tomorrow)
December 24, 1994, Christmas Eve, one day before the Christmas War between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Chicago Bulls. At the Forum Arena in Los Angeles, this day was originally a day for the entire NBA holiday, and the Los Angeles Lakers were in It was already a holiday yesterday, in this case, the Forum Arena should be closed on this day.
However, when the Chicago Bulls, who came to challenge on the road this afternoon, appeared in the Forum Arena to adapt to the field training one day in advance, the Forum Arena, which was supposed to be without any movement, instantly became extremely lively, and the entire ball The grandstand is full of media and journalists from all over the world!
"Did you come to Los Angeles a day early because of the importance of this game? Of course, the Los Angeles Lakers are a very powerful team. In the face of such an opponent, we need to play the spirit of 12 points, so come early The Forum Arena adapts to the field training to better prepare for tomorrow's game, which is not unnecessary, and I can't wait for the game against the Los Angeles Lakers!"
"Did you say that this game won’t contain me? If it is true, I think this is a very interesting choice. You should know that in NBA, I don’t fear any opponent, no matter how many opponents, this is all It doesn't matter, I belong to me! Long! Wind! Literature's own game rhythm, as long as I am in my own game rhythm, no one can beat me. Lin? He is a very good player, also a champion player, I know. He will defend me in this game, and I will also defend him. I am looking forward to playing against Lin in this game."
"Linhan’s comment on Falke? I’ve heard that I support Linhan’s claim that Falke is farther from nba than Los Angeles and Chicago. He really is not qualified to comment on me and The distance between Lin Han, however. I am very happy that Falke can fully believe in my strength, as he said, in the case of one-on-one. I have never lost, never in the past, now not Yes, not in the future!"
When the Los Angeles Lakers players are on vacation. After Chicago players came to Los Angeles. This also indicates that the prelude to the Christmas War between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Chicago Bulls has already begun!
At this time, the entire NBA public opinion has focused on Los Angeles, on the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers!
"Michael, it's just a small Laker. Is it necessary to be so cautious? You should know that this team can't beat us. Your performance has not looked like you at all in recent times."
When the Chicago Bulls came to Los Angeles in the afternoon and came to the visiting team's locker room at the Forum Arena after today's adaptation training, they became the team's second-leader. Scott Pippen, who has been in a bad mood for a while, said a little uncomfortably.
The Chicago Bulls had a very good record this season, winning 22 games in the previous 26 games. Although this record of the Bulls was put into last season, even the top three in the league could not be entered. After playing 26 games last season, the Jazz won 26 games. The Rockets and Supersonic records are also quite amazing, but In this season, the Chicago Bulls' record is the absolute first in the league. No matter whether it is in the East or West, no team has a record comparable to the Bulls. This team has already been compared after Jordan's return. Starting from last season, it is even higher!
It’s a good thing that the team can go to the next level this season compared to last season. As the team’s second player, Pippen should be happy, but, obviously, like the Bulls did well last season , Jordan’s mood is very complex, and now Pippen’s mood is also very complicated. Fortunately, Jordan’s character is more open-minded than Pippen. Last season, the Bulls were able to perform so well without him. He was a bit lost. It’s still a blessing, but this season’s Pippen, it’s really complicated and a bit painful. This is not just Jordan’s return to progress, but also the result of the first round of last week’s All-Star vote. Disgusted to die this second leather Pi.
Last season's All-Star voting, the entire voting ended, his votes are not as good as the Bulls' former backup point guard Armstrong, if last season he was just suspecting that it was the ghost of Jordan fans, those diehard Jordan fans are all If he did not vote for him, then now, he has determined and affirmed that he was pitted by Jordan's diehard fans last season!
If it is just pitted by a group of nba fans, it is actually nothing. For example, Jordan, has he not been pitted by Lin Han fans this season? Lin Han was also pitted by Jordan fans, which is actually quite normal, but now most of the Jordan fans in the league, especially the diehard fans of Jordan, are really fans of the Bulls. As fans of the Bulls, Last season, they actually stood on the opposite side of Pippen who carried the team forward alone. Pippen's excellent performance last season was unable to impress them. This is really sad.
After all, Pippen’s true contribution to this team is almost a career. Over the years, the team has made three consecutive championships and various honors. He has made great contributions, but it is such a huge contribution. These bulls Fans or Jordan fans still regard him as a mustard, and even some neutral fans understand and support him more than these Jordan and Bull fans.
And this also makes Pippen extremely sad. This is actually the sorrow of a team's second-hand player. No matter how much the second-hand player has contributed to the team, it is optional in the hearts of the team's fans. Yes, if last season’s mvp vote was a media expert who broke the heart of Grandpa Pi, then this season’s All-Star vote is that the fans broke the heart of Grandpa Pi. At the end, he is still just a vassal of Jordan. I can never get rid of Jordan's influence.
For Er Pi, he is now miserable in bulls, but even if it is miserable in bulls, he never thought of putting hatred on Jordan. I have to say that the great of Jordan is still very high in Pippen's mind. Of course, since hatred is not put on Jordan. So who is it on?
Naturally, it was the two guys who prevented him from getting out of the shadow of Jordan last season, one was Lin Han who grabbed his All-Star mvp, and the other was Reggie Miller who eliminated his bull in the first round. It is the player he hates and hates most now!
Fortunately, a day ago, he was revenge in the game against the Pacers. Reggie Miller's 12-for-two shooting rate was a relief to Reggie Miller's strength. Even Jordan's all-out chase and interception may not be able to make him really so miserable, obviously in the game against the Pacers when facing Reggie Miller. Pippen also made great efforts!
And now, after reporting the revenge of the first round of the playoffs last season, Pippen naturally put his eyes on Lin Han!
This game between the Bulls and the Lakers, in Pippen's view. It is impossible for the Bulls to lose. The only thing that needs to be done is to deal with Lin Han!
Compared with Reggie Miller, Lin Han can be said to make Pippen more annoying. This guy was not only as simple as cooperating with O’Neal to grab his all-star mvp last season, but more importantly, this guy is first on both sides. During the second match, the lore that was celebrated in advance without watching the ball was completed under his eyelids, and this almost directly nailed him to the column of humiliation in NBA!
Before the start of this game, many unscrupulous media and television broadcasters were constantly repeating the scene when the two teams met for the first time last season. This makes Pippen quite embarrassed, if this game no longer looks back on Lin Han. How can he swallow this breath!
If it was only him, then he really didn’t have much confidence in Lin Han to humiliate Lin Han. Although he didn’t like this guy very much, he had to say that Lin Han’s ability was no longer capable of humiliating him if he wanted to humiliate. At least he is not sure.
But now is he alone when facing Lin Han? Of course not, he still has Jordan's support now, and with Jordan, coupled with his defense, any outside player in the league is dead in front of them!
Whether it is Lin Han, Grant Hill or Hardaway, it is a dead man!
Therefore, in Pippen's opinion, Jordan was really too cautious when facing Lin Han's problem. According to his meaning, it was humiliation, whether it was before, during or after the game, it should be Shame Lin Lin fiercely, just like what he did to Lin Han before the two teams confronted last season!
However, it is clear that the Bulls are not actually controlling him, but Jordan, so Jordan's behavior in the recent period has indeed disappointed him.
"Yeah, Michael, that kid is powerful, but how could it be your opponent? At this point I support Scott. You think that kid is too important. In the future, he is really worth looking forward to, but now , The alliance still belongs to you, belongs to our bulls, do you say yes!"
"Yes, now the alliance still belongs to us, as long as we have Michael, others will not want to take away what belongs to us!"
Although Jordan's personality on the team is not so good, but compared with Pippen's moodiness, Jordan is still more normal and more popular, plus even if Jordan is really bad, but he is still in Most of the Bulls’ players are players who have been with Jordan for many years. Those players who are unhappy with Jordan have long been cleared by the team. In this case, even if Jordan has a bad personality or wants to find him on the team People are bullying and they won't find them, so when facing their team boss, the Bulls' locker room atmosphere is still very good.
Of course, at this time, most of the players in the Bulls locker room really support Jordan's five-body ground. The first person in this league can really bring them great confidence, but there is only one person inside the Bulls, that This is Kukoc. This kid is the only one on the Bulls who is bullied by Jordan and Pippen!
But whoever made this kid wrong is the deserved boss. At the beginning of this season, Jordan's return caused a great shock inside the Bulls. Originally, in Kokocchi's view, the team's power struggle will start. He will assist his boss Pippen to overthrow Jordan's rule. But to his surprise, Pippen was indeed extremely surprised before Jordan returned, but after Jordan returned. This guy has no farts. Originally, Kukoc thought that his Pippen boss was not good at shooting himself, so when the season started, Kukoc did something that made the bulls feel very interesting. It was this lifeless kid who didn't pass Jordan in the game, and it was Jordan who didn't pass Jordan when he had the chance!
You know, Kukoc, who has the title of white magician and European Jordan, is not the team’s main point of control because of the existence of Pippen. But it is definitely the team's top five ball control point, and even an important part of the team's tactical system. He has a lot of possession. Especially when the Bulls play a triangle offense, the triangle offense is a tactic that encourages Jordan singles but limits Jordan singles, and this restriction of singles mainly restricts Jordan's holding time and does not allow Jordan to use the ball for a long time to single. It is hoped that Jordan's singles will be more concise and efficient. To put it bluntly, Mayfair Jackson flickered Jordan. Tell Jordan that you can do singles. It is no problem to throw 40 or 50 in a game. You can shoot in singles, but you must give up the ball control. When Jordan gives up the ball control , Where did Jordan's offense come from? Of course it was Pippen or other bull players. After Grant left, the most important source of possession became Kukotka.
under these circumstances. Kukoc didn't pass Jordan, how could Jordan endure? Even in the first game of this season, Jordan scored more than 50 points not because he didn’t look at his hometown team Charlotte Hornets, but because he was angry with Kukocchi, he directly returned his style of play. To that era of cancerous tumor!
Of course, with Jordan's character, Kukoch dared to be so mad at him, can he have good fruit in the bull in the future? If Pippen is really willing to cover him, the key is that Pippen is originally a low-hearted player, and has long seen Kukochi, whose salary is higher than him, is not good. When Jordan bullied Kukoch, The guy Pippen actually joined, and this Nima made Kukochi instantly feel full of maliciousness from all over the world at that time.
Fortunately, this kid from Europe is really strong. Although Jordan and Pippen are really uncomfortable with him, this guy is surprised that he can make Jordan and Pippen not dare to score him with his own strength. The Cold Palace may trade him directly like other teams, but although he can maintain his position on the court, but in the locker room, this kid is really terrible.
Therefore, at this time, watching this group of bull players happily flattered Jordan, and Kukochi, who had always seen Jordan not so pleasing, directly pouted at the side, expressing his disdain.
"Let's be careful, that kid is not simple at all"
Although I know that my teammates are right, but I know Lin Han very well. Even the Jordanian who has seen most of Lin Han’s games in the last two seasons, he knows Lin Han better than these Bull players. Know more.
But, obviously, even knowing that these teammates are underestimating Lin Han, but Jordan has no way to say clearly, how can others grow their ambitions before the game to destroy their prestige? Therefore, the great God of Jordan just smiled and mentioned a little. As for whether his teammates are willing to believe, then there is not much relationship. In fact, he does not care what his teammates think!
Because, although he attached great importance to Lin Han, he did not dare to say that he would win Lin Han even before the game, but this did not mean that he was afraid, because in Jordan’s heart, even now, he still maintains a Great self-confidence, as his agent Falke said, a one-on-one matchup, he never lost in the past, and now he will not lose!
Since I believe that I will not lose to Lin Han, what does it matter that my teammates despise Lin Han? !
"In the case of one-on-one, I have never lost, neither in the past, now, nor in the future!"
"This sentence is really confident and domineering."
On the evening of December 24, at Lin Han’s home, Lin Han also said with emotion when he looked at the Bull 23 interviewed in the TV news.
"Of course, people are the best players in NBA right now, and he is not wrong, he also has the capital to say this, if you beat him in this game. You can also say the same sentence, others I won't question it!"
Lingmeng on the side looked at Lin Han holding her little sister Lin Yu and said with a smile, it seemed that the little girl seemed to support Jordan.
but. After Ling Meng finished speaking, Lin Han was silent at this time.
"Someday I will be able to say this to the whole world!"
After a brief silence, Lin Han looked at the Bull No. 23 on the TV and said hard after gently hugging the little girl in his arms slightly.
"I hope you will have such confidence after this game"
After Lin Han finished his speech, Lingmeng was not angry, he turned around and walked into the kitchen to help.
"Brother, I believe you can do it"
Facing the ridicule of Lingmeng, Lin Han didn't care. But the little girl in Lin Han's arms encouraged Lin Han with confidence at this time.
Looking at the very cute little girl at this time, Lin Han also smiled and gently rubbed her little cheeky face, and then kissed her on the delicate cheek.
"metamorphosis】"
After Lin Han couldn't help but kissed the little girl's cheek. The little girl Lin Yu shyly buried her entire body in Lin Han's arms, and at this time Lin Han's ear heard a voice that made Lin Han very speechless.
Of course, the source of the sound must be the extremely ugly Alice
December 25, 1994, Christmas Day. Los Angeles Forum Arena at 8:30 pm
Less than half an hour left before the start of the game. At this time, the first game of Christmas War was already over. The Magic easily defeated the New York Knicks without Ewing 110 to 101. When the first game of the Christmas War between Magic and New York ended, The eyes of the United States and the world have been fixed on this game between the Lakers and the Bulls!
Although Jordan and Lin Han were still restrained before the game, and the two teams did not have too much talk, but for such a game, even if both teams are quite restrained before the game, how can they Resist the enthusiasm and attention of fans?
Even Jordan and Lin Han were dumb before this game. Fans and media experts will not care, because this game only needs to play out the title of 23vs24 and don't worry about sales!
Not to mention that the sales of newspapers in recent days are rising because of Lin Han and Jordan. Even if the ticket for this game is rising, this season because of the arrival of Lin Han and the return of the Magician, the Lakers’ average home fare per game so far this season has reached an amazing $250. Zhang ranks second in the league, second only to the New York Knicks at $305. Of course, this is also because of the high enthusiasm at the beginning of the season. By the end of the season, the average ticket price for the Knicks and Lakers will be Down, it is estimated that in the end the Lakers were in the early 150s, and after the Knicks had so many problems, it was estimated to be similar, but no matter how, in this game, when Jordan came to Los Angeles as a guest, the average ticket price for this game Reached a staggering $650, and there is still no price!
Although compared to Jordan’s average ticket price of thousands of dollars when he was in New York, more than 600 dollars is nothing, but this is definitely the history of the Lakers. It has to be said that this game has come to the Lakers fans. It is indeed attractive enough!
And they are also willing to spend so much money to see such a game. Especially for those dignitaries in Los Angeles, the exposure and influence of this game is just that the fare is too low. Too low, it is nothing.
Especially when the game is about to start, the Chicago Bulls take the lead, when the Lakers fans on the scene saw the first person in the league, when the full boos rang in the forum arena, they just booed in their own home collective Jordan, who has not seen him for a year, is also worth it.
For the Lakers fans, they have no good feelings for Jordan, the player who pushed the Lakers from the throne. It was just that in the past few seasons, the Lakers are really not the Bulls' opponents. They can only swallow their hearts.
And now, although the Lakers still don't seem to be the Bulls' opponents, when many people say that after the Lakers have Lin Han, they have the opportunity to push the Bulls off the throne, even if they can't do it now. They can do it in the future. They are willing to accompany the team and then defeat Jordan. Let the team climb to the top again!
So, when the Bulls players are playing, when the Lakers are playing, when Lin Han is playing as the finale, look at this Lin Han who is going to take the team to challenge the Bulls throne, the Lakers The fans on the scene were really sending their cheers and support to Lin Han crazy. Such support even surprised Celtic legend Larry Bird on the sidelines.
"Although many people think this game before the game. This is a game that may have no suspense in the outcome, but from the perspective of the Lakers fans on the scene, they don't care about these people's views. This is a very good Imagine that the Lakers fans show their demeanor. They are the few fans in the league who don't care about the gains and losses of a game."
Looking at the crazy Lakers fans at this time, Larry Bird said with a smile.
Recently. Or after the end of this summer. After Lin Han was traded to the Lakers, Larry Bird, who was extremely angry about the Celtics' slow movements, has been deeply trapped in the Celtics' internal power struggle, and has been extremely disappointed with the team. When preparing to forcibly intervene in the management of the team, he almost encountered unimaginable resistance, and after a few months of hard work, Larry Bird was completely disappointed with the current Celtics.
In the end, the Celtics legend found that compared with the hard struggle for power in these months, it was still pure nba. Simple basketball is more suitable for him, so. Before the start of this game, this guest guest commentator also returned to his post again.
The first game back to his post was to explain the battle between Lin Han and Jordan, which made Larry Bird quite excited.
"Larry, do you think Lin Han and Jordan will win or lose this game?"
After Lin Han played in the cheers of the fans, Collins also asked with a smile when the players on both sides were ready to go to the stadium to warm up. He was Jordan's mentor and Lin Han's loyal fan. These two pairs His meaning is also very special.
"It should be difficult"
After Collins’ questioning, Larry Bird continued after thinking a little:
Although the two are the most popular players in the league, they are not familiar with each other. In this case, this game is the most The likely result is that the Bulls win, and Lin Han and Jordan may both fall into a hard battle with balance."
After Larry Bird finished, Collins nodded with a smile.
There are some hard struggles in balance. This is also his opinion. Although the two must have studied the other for a long time, the research and the actual operation are completely different. With the strength of the two, it is difficult to break when the two are not familiar. The balance in strength, the strength of the two are too strong, if you can't find the other's real weakness, how can you penetrate the opponent and break the balance? If you don't break the balance, it will be difficult to really win or lose, so the game may have a win or lose, but I am afraid it is difficult for the two to win or lose.
However, in the same way, based on Collins's understanding of Jordan, he may not tolerate such a situation, and the same, Lin Han may not allow such a situation, these two are very persistent players!
And as Collins imagined, when the players from both sides went to the court from the bench, when the Lakers led by Lin Han and the Bulls led by Jordan came to the neighborhood near the middle circle at the same time, they were the heads of the two teams. The players, whether Lin Han or Jordan, both stopped directly in the middle circle, and then looked at their opponents almost at the same time!
When the big screen on the scene and tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of fans around the world saw Lin Han and Jordan standing in the middle circle, almost all of these fans were excited, let alone these fans, even The two commentators on the sidelines and the media reporters from various countries around the world were almost at the same time at this time!
"Lin, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, the winner of this game will definitely belong to me!"
When Lin Han and Jordan looked at each other for a while, they looked at Lin Han, who was still immature at this time, and Jordan said with a smile on his face. Players have influence.
"Michael, this is what I want to say!"
However, compared with other Lakers players, Lin Han's expression at this time is still firm, as if not affected by Jordan at all, and looking at Lin Han at this time, Jordan does not seem to be much surprised, as if taken for granted.
"Then wait and see"
After taking a deep look at Lin Han, Jordan turned and left with a smile, and looked at Jordan's back. At this time, Lin Han's fists were tightly held together! (To be continued...)
