Chapter 146: Defeat!
(Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription!) )
Barkley's challenge like Lin Han completely failed when the Phoenix Suns decided to contain Lin Han!
This is not only known to the Phoenix Suns players, but also to the fans, and to Barkley, who is also one of the focal points of this game.
He can't get the players he is on, so in order for the team to win, he must flank Lin Han, so, in theory, even if the Suns win in the end, in fact, Barkley has nothing to say in this game.
It can even be said that the leading player of the Suns has accepted such a fact, and now, Lin Han, who had already won the challenge, actually gave him another challenge, and the content of the challenge was so strange.
Or it is needless to say that it is wonderful, but it is crazy, it is clear, Lin Han's challenge is to compete with him whose tumor attribute is stronger, and he is still crazy in the face of the bag, Barkley can do it, he can really do it, or any NBA-level superstar can do it.
But a lot of times, people don't do this, people are terrible, this kind of thing is done too much, it is difficult to say clearly in the future, just like Olajuwon in the past, his sentence, my shooting percentage is higher than that of my teammates, why do I pass the ball? This kind of thing, which almost represents the supreme declaration of the cancer world, is still following Olajuwon all the time even after Olajuwon's 'reform'.
Of course, for Barkley, since he is a superstar, he must have done such a cancerous thing, and if he is forced to do it, he can do it, but obviously. Now that the Suns have started to wrap up Limham, all the Suns need is a win.
Under these circumstances, it is unlikely that Barkley would have agreed to such a heads-up request from Linkham. Therefore, when Lin Han's right hand stretched out, the index finger was lowered from the air. When pointing to Barkley, Barkley was very angry at this time, and he was also very helpless, really helpless, if he could not care about the victory or defeat of the team in this game, then the team did not need to wrap up Lin Han, let him and Lin Han go head-to-head.
"I'm not going to do such a boring thing with you"
In the face of the aggressive Lin Han, Barkley almost gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence from the corner of his mouth.
"Oh. Is this kind of thing boring? You won't be scared."
Looking at Barkley with an angry face at this time, Lin Han said with some amusement.
Seeing that Lin Han seemed to be with Barkley again, as if there was a quarrel, at this time, the Suns fans on the sidelines once again sent crazy boos to Lin Han, and even the other on-court balls of the two teams all dared to Lin Han and Barkley, especially the Jazz players, at this time Lin Han was surrounded by three people from the Suns.
When Lin Han was seen not far away facing the three players of the Suns, still smiling and provoking Barkley, Stockton even felt that this kid was extremely admirable, and this courage was not something that ordinary people could have. Just look at the expressions of AC Green and Ceballos next to Barkley.
The two of them heard the conversation between Lin Han and Barkley very clearly, which was equivalent to Lin Han insulting Barkley in front of them. As long as Barkley gives an order at this time, the two of them may directly surround Lin Han at any time is a fat beating, and the Suns fans on the sidelines may think so.
"Boy, don't be so arrogant, be careful that you don't grow in the NBA"
At this time, as an old-timer, AC Green glared at Lin Han fiercely, as if he was about to make a move on Lin Han, and did not forget to push Lin Han, and at this time, he faced the fierce AC Green. Lin Han smiled again as if he was fine. And then I took a deep look at Ceballos, the swingman of the Suns. After the opening of this game, the player who was made into a psychological shadow by Lin Han actually subconsciously took a step back after being glanced at by Lin Han.
"Hahaha, is it up to you?"
After Ceballos was stared at by Lin Han and took a step back, Lin Han almost laughed wildly, and at this time, no matter what happened, both Green and Barkley felt very shameless, but Lin Han ignored them, and after Stockton and them came over, he turned around and left.
"Lin, are you alright?"
"You kid really dare to come nonsense, dare to shoot in such a situation, I don't know what to say, can't you kid see that I'm empty, as long as I throw the ball into the air, I'm an empty seat."
Lin Han's attack just now was very domineering, but he was choked by Ma Long, but Lin Han still didn't care too much at this time, but he was a little dissatisfied with Ma Long's magic grasp that stretched out to the back of his head.
"I just saw that you were all empty before I dared to shoot like that, even if you didn't score in the end, wouldn't you be able to brush up a frontcourt rebound? It's not more efficient than passing the ball to you."
After Lin Han finished speaking, both Malone and Stockton were directly stunned, and the emotional Lin Han played the tumor in order to help Malone brush the frontcourt rebounds.
Of course, for Lin Han, whether Barkley finally accepts his challenge or not, the Suns' main player's plan to defeat him in this game is completely shattered, and now, the most important thing for Lin Han is to help the Jazz win!
As long as the Jazz can beat the Suns away in this game, then the matchup between Lin Han and Barkley in this game is simply a complete victory!
Now, this goal is actually not difficult, because now the Jazz lead is quite good, and at the halfway point of the third quarter, the score on the court is 78-71, and the Jazz have a seven-point lead.
However, if Barkley was really stimulated by Lin Han, completely ignoring the team's victory or defeat in this game, and only thinking about such a strange showdown with Lin Han, then Lin Han was more welcome, but it was obvious that when the Suns' offense began, Barkley once again encountered the problem of Malone and Lin Han's sandwich, and in the face of the Jazz's inner two, Barkley was not stimulated by Lin Han.
As one of the best players in the league, Barkley really doesn't deserve his title if he can still be delirious by Lin Han at this time.
Of course, since Barkley has already admitted to it at this time, Lin Han can't stimulate the Sun boss now. Naturally, they will no longer play that kind of brainless three-man sandwich shot, although the Jazz are now leading the Suns, but the lead score is actually not so secure.
So. In the following period, the style of the game shifted again. After the scoring duel between Lin Han and Barkley ended, the two started the rebounding duel again!
After Linkham and Barkley gave up their heads-ups, the defense of both teams returned to extreme intensity, in this case, the offensive success rate of the two teams will naturally decrease, and the offensive success rate will decrease, and the most important consequence is naturally the number of rebounds will increase.
And in the case of two teams with a similar success rate in attack. If the Suns want to chase points, they need more rounds, and if the Suns' Jazz want to hold on to victory, then they must protect their rebounds.
If you follow the strength on the books, although Barkley and AC Green are not very tall, they are both well-known rebounders in the league, and on the Jazz side, Malone is the league's first-class rebounder, as for Lin Han, this guy used to be just an outsider. Although the Jazz rookie showed his extremely strong rebounding sense in the first two games, can the Cavaliers' interior and the Bucks' interior be compared to the Suns?
Of course not, so Lin Han's rebounding sense of showing his nose in front of these two teams basically has little deterrent effect on the Suns. In the Suns' view, their interior is now at a disadvantage in scoring, but they definitely have an advantage in rebounding.
At least on the surface, when the Suns fell behind in the score, the two sides returned to the regular style of play, and after Barkley and Lin Han returned to normal, the head coach of the Suns, Westfale, was actually very confident in the team's pursuit of points.
Therefore, even if the score is always behind. The Suns head coach also has a smile on his face all the time.
It's just that when the game between the two teams in the third quarter went deeper and deeper. The Suns head coach, who had been smiling all the time, really couldn't smile.
Why? Because, the rebounding of the Suns, who have always been considered to be dominant. I don't have any advantage on the court!
To say that Barkley's rebounding sense of smell, it is absolutely top-notch, to be able to be less than 1.98 meters tall in the NBA under the basket for so many years, it can be called a miracle, compared to Barkley's highest rebounding season, but in a single season he has grabbed an average of nearly 15 rebounds per game, especially frontcourt rebounding, this guy with a sensitive sense of smell and better flexibility and athleticism than other insiders, this guy is the highest season, close to averaging 6 frontcourt rebounds per game in a single season, in the 76ers, Almost every season the frontcourt rebounds are close to 5, but when it comes to the Suns, Barkley's rebounds and offensive rebounds have dropped a lot, although this has something to do with his age, but the bigger reason is the Suns' style of play, if you just compare it with the smell of rebounding, Lin Han's 1v1 level of rebounding smell is actually not as good as Barkley.
It's just that, although it is not as good as Barkley in terms of smell, it can be made up for in other aspects, this game between the Jazz and the Suns, both teams play a small lineup of running and bombing, not those strong teams on the inside of the board and a look at the posture to play slowly, the first key to running and bombing is fast, not only fast offense, but also fast retreat, many times, the team does not grab the rebound in the front court, or it is difficult to grab it, such a running and bombing style of play is more beneficial to the rebounding protection of the defensive side.
In this case, even if Barkley's rebounding ability is stronger than Lin Han, but Lin Han, who occupies a more advantageous advantage, can still completely block Barkley, if Barkley wants to forcibly use his athleticism to rush to the front court to rebound, it will be better, Lin Han may not be as good as Barkley, but to talk about athleticism, Lin Han, who has opened the courage, really feels that he can beat Barkley.
Therefore, it was expected that the Suns should quickly catch up with the Jazz and pull the score back, but the final result was that the two teams played inextricably on the court, especially after Lin Han not only played a par with Barkley on the offensive end, but also in terms of rebounding, after Barkley stepped up the rush, he was able to protect the Jazz's backcourt rebounding.
So, when the third quarter of the game went on, almost everyone at the West Jersey Arena at this time. Including the Suns fans, almost all of them were watching the game on the court in amazement.
Barkley averaged more than 12 rebounds per game last season, one of the best rebounders in the league. Now he is actually withstood by Lin Han, a player who makes a cameo appearance on the outside, if Lin Han is the scoring king. They admit that they can blow up Barkley on offense, but Lin Han's average rebounds per game this season, even if you add the previous two games, the average number of rebounds per game is less than 4, which is the average of most scoring guards in the league, maybe it's not enough, such a player actually stumped Barkley in terms of rebounding, who would dare to believe that this kind of thing can be born?!
"Awesome. It's really amazing, Jerry, I didn't expect Lin's rebounding ability to reach this level, the first two games I thought it was just because I met some weaker opponents, so I used his physical talent to brush, but now it seems that this is not the case at all! This kid has the ability to protect the team's backcourt! ”
When watching the Suns being blocked by the short interior iron gate formed by Malone and Lin Han on the court, Jazz assistant coach Phil Johnson on the sidelines was very excited, really very excited, if Lin Han can really have such a strong ability to protect the backcourt. Even if his height is indeed problematic, he really has the capital to gain a foothold on the inside, and the inside combination of Malone and Lin Han is likely to become one of the decisive weapons for the team at key moments.
When I think of it. The Jazz assistant coach was almost trembling with excitement, and he already saw the future of the team!
Phil Johnson can see this, and Jerry Sloan can naturally see this, although Lin Han didn't have any pursuit in rebounding before, but Jerry Sloan knew that Lin Han's rebounding ability was very good, but it was very good and could be on par with Barkley, which were completely two concepts.
In this game, Lin Han not only surprised him with his extremely terrifying inside back turning skills, but also made him extremely surprised by Lin Han's rebounding skills.
Perhaps at this moment, Jerry Sloan really had a sense of trust in the double inside tactics of Malone and Lin Han that he experimented. Just like Phil Johnson thought, a critical time. Such a tactic may be able to save this team.
"How is this possible? Why is this happening?! ”
When Barkley on the court used almost all his strength to the rebound, ready to rush to the front court to grab the rebound. Every time, he was cut off by Lin Han in just a little bit, and almost every time.
You know, in the past, when facing any team in the league, Barkley's athleticism and agility could almost completely blow up the opposing player, but this time, he suddenly appeared, he is now like those tall opponents who have been defeated before, very wolf!
"How could this guy be averaging less than 4 rebounds per game? How could this guy be an outside player?! I don't believe it, I definitely don't believe it! ”
At this time, after watching Lin Han protect the next backcourt rebound again, he almost went directly to the frontcourt again, ignoring Stockton on the side, but when he played a fast break by himself, Barkley was really a little broken at this time!
I have to say that Lin Han's way of playing directly and going forward quickly after grabbing the backcourt rebound is really terrifying, and it can also be said that after looking at the whole court and moving forward bravely, it can be completely no less than a quasi-purple skill, Lin Han doesn't know what the real power of the purple skill is, but if it is said to be invincible, Lin Han feels that his style of play is extremely invincible!
"A lot of people say that Sean Kemp is the most unusual player in the NBA, that he has reduced the game of basketball to a game of dunking, and as long as he wants to dunk, no one can stop him."
"In the same way, in my opinion, Lin Han is also a very different player, if Sean Kemp is simplifying basketball into a game of dunking, then Lin Han is simplifying basketball into a game of racing!"
When looking at the court to win the backcourt rebound, rushed directly to the frontcourt, and behind him were all Suns players who chased back but couldn't catch up, as the commentator of this game, Collins simply felt that this picture was a bit miserable for Suns fans, yes, it was really miserable!
So. When Lin Han didn't know how many times he completed the dunk in this game, there were less than 2 seconds left in the third quarter of the game, and he almost succeeded in dunking the whistle. The Suns fans at the scene were really speechless, or had nothing to say. Even in the face of Lin Han's arrogant roar after the successful dunk, these guys didn't even boo in the end!
"This kid is crazy!"
At this time, I watched the score of 97-87 on the sidelines that was about to end in the third quarter, and the wild Lin Han, who almost crushed the entire Suns team with his physical talent.
Whether it's Jordan in the box, or Chamberlain or Russell on the sidelines, as well as Jerry West and Pat Riley, I'm afraid they all feel this way in their hearts.
This kid is really a crazy beast!
"Boss, domineering, it's too domineering!"
When the Suns hit a long-distance three-point iron directly from the baseline, at the end of the third quarter, Lin Han and other Jazz players came off the court at this time. Lin Han's younger brother, Jazz's substitute interior Aaron Williams almost had a feeling of worship at this time!
He really obeyed, completely convinced!
If this boss had used his terrifying scoring ability on the outside to make him surrender before, then now, when Lin Han almost single-handedly resisted and even defeated Barkley, driving the entire momentum of the Jazz to the peak, he really felt that his boss was too domineering!
"That's right, every time I see Lin's fast-break dunk, I feel my blood boiling"
"Me too. This kid's style of play is too much to mention, coach, let's continue in the fourth quarter of this game. We're going to win this victory! ”
"That's right, Coach, let's get on with it!"
When Malone and Stoker, as well as Lin Han and several other Jazz on the bench, looked at Jerry Sloan with burning eyes, although the Jazz benches on the side were also very excited at this time, the loss on their faces could be clearly seen that the statements of the core players of the Jazz were almost directly slapped in their faces, but in the face of such a slap in the face, they really couldn't justify.
And Jerry Sloan was looking at the group of Jazz substitutes who were a little lost. I looked at the Jazz who looked excited, almost on fire. In the end, the jazz commander nodded.
"On the fourth verse, you go on. This game, victory! ”
"Victory!"
"Victory!"
Driven by Lin Han, the Jazz's bench was almost boiling, and at this time, the Suns bench on the other side was quiet and terrible, and the third quarter failed to chase the score back, but instead widened the score.
So the only thing the Suns can rely on now is their bench to blow up the opponent in the fourth quarter, but will the Jazz still be stupid to come off the bench in the fourth quarter? Even Westphal didn't believe it.
In his opinion, the Jazz are a big deal in this fight, and in the end, tomorrow's back-to-back losses to the sound, they also caught up with history, even if it is a pity that they did not cross history, it is really worth it.
Therefore, at this time, the Suns faced the Jazz who had been driven by Lin Han, and they were almost completely at a disadvantage in terms of momentum, and it can even be said that if there was no miracle, the Suns would hardly have any chance of winning this game!
"Damn, hateful, damnable!"
This situation is very crisis, almost everyone knows it, so at this time, the head player of this team, Barkley, almost didn't pay attention to what the coach was saying, and kept venting his anger on the floor with his own towel, and the other Suns players in this game lost and lost, at most it became a footnote on the road to the Jazz's 33rd consecutive victory, and Barkley, I'm afraid it's not as simple as becoming a footnote!
"It's difficult, the Suns are really difficult now"
Therefore, when the third quarter ended, even Larry Bird, who had been reluctant to make game predictions, was no longer optimistic about the Suns at this time.
"In this game, the Suns still underestimated Lin Han's strength, or the world once again underestimated Lin Han's strength, this kid is an all-rounder, a real all-rounder, even if it is put in our era, he still has a place!"
Looking at the Jazz No. 8 on the Jazz bench who was being treated by the Jazz team doctor, Larry Bird once again gave a very high evaluation.
There was also a place in his era, naturally it does not mean that Lin Han could also find a job in that era and become an All-Star, in Larry Bird's mind, the so-called place is to be able to be with him and the magician. Talk directly to Abdul-Jabbar, Moses Malone and J Boss and Isaiah Thomas and more!
In fact, you can also think about what kind of situation Jordan faced these people in that era, and you can compare it to Lin Han. In Larry Bird's view, Lynham is the same as Jordan. In his own era, he can also challenge their dominance in the NBA like Jordan.
This is a very high evaluation, and at this time, when this game is over, if Larry Bird says this evaluation of Lin Han, there will definitely not be many people who will object, not even Jordan.
Because Jordan, who was watching the court from the box at this time, now even the camera is pointed at him. He didn't show up, but looked at Lin Han in the distance who made his good friend extremely wolf.
Because, Jordan also showed that although he repeatedly overestimated Lin Han, in the end, he still underestimated him!
And when Jordan's figure appeared on the big screen at the scene at this time, the Sun fans who were originally shocked by Lin Han exclaimed again at this time, after exclaiming. There was another round of boos.
Lin Han, who had been holding his head down and receiving a massage from the physiotherapist, happened to see Jordan getting up on the big screen after the boos of the audience rang out. And after seeing Jordan's figure, Lin Han's originally excited mood became even more excited.
Because, this is the first time he has seen the person he wants to defeat in his dreams so closely!
Of course, Lin Han didn't know that at this time, after being revealed, Jordan, who turned around and left with his agent, was actually not the first time to come to watch his game.
"Michael, don't you need to watch this game?"
After Jordan was revealed, Falke, Jordan's agent, was also a little unhappy, although he didn't like Lin Han in this game, but I have to say. It's wonderful, it's really wonderful. Especially Lin Han's violent style of play, almost even he watched his blood boiling.
So. At this time, he was really reluctant.
"Well, don't look at it, this game is over"
Jordan looked back at the court again, and then said with a somewhat complicated smile.
Is the game over? Although Falck didn't know why Jordan said that, he nodded and followed.
In Jordan's opinion, the game is over.
And when the players on both sides stood on the court again, facing the Jazz, who were already demoralized at this time, the Suns, who were a little demoralized as a whole, were really difficult to resist the impact of this team.
13o to 116, the Phoenix Suns lost the game at home by 14 points.
And when the game ended, at this time, the stars on the sidelines, almost all of them stood up and applauded for this wonderful game, although they disagreed with the result of this game very much, but when the DJ on the scene announced that the Jazz had reached a 33-game winning streak that equaled history, the Suns fans on the scene still gave some reluctant applause.
Although they are the backdrop for the history of Jazz's creation, they can be regarded as witnesses to history.
It's just that at this time, when the Jazz players enjoyed the applause of the fans after the game, as the most disappointed player of the game, the Suns' leading player Barkley almost didn't know how he got off the court.
In this game, the Suns' leading player is really good, with 34 points and 15 rebounds, which is almost a strong wave, but even so, in the face of Lin Han's 41 points and 18 rebounds in this game, it is difficult for the Suns player to be really satisfied with his table.
It can even be said to be extremely disappointing.
And when he walked off the court, looking at Lin Han, who was interviewed on TV with Malone and Stockton, the Suns' leading player was full of loss.
Because in his expectation, the position where Lin Han was standing at this time should belong to him!
And Lin Han occupies this position!
He was really unwilling!
"Charles, it's just a game, with your knowledge, you should understand this, next time as long as you can put yourself in the right position, you can beat him, believe in your own strength"
Looking at the disciples who had lost their souls at this time, Westfale, the head coach of the Suns, also said helplessly.
He didn't know how many times Barkley would be able to listen, but this failure, like last year's Finals loss to the Bulls, Barkley was a little wavering in himself.
This is not a good thing.
"That kid is really strong, though"
Although Westphall is motivating Barkley, the former Suns legend also frowns when he thinks of the sporty Lin Han in this game.
After Jordan's retirement, there are now enough championship-seeking teams in the West, and now the Jazz have been added, which makes the situation even more confusing.
He wasn't very confident about where the Suns would eventually go.
"Larry, it looks like we were all wrong in this game, the Jazz really tied the Lakers' record"
After the Jazz defeated the Suns, Lynham and Stockton Malone and others were interviewed on TV, and several legendary players of the Lakers, led by David Stern, went up to shake hands with these Jazz players directly or congratulate them.
Although it is a very depressing thing to share the original unique record with others, whether it is Chamberlain or Jerry West or Pat Riley, such a bearing is still there.
"Maybe they'll be able to beat Tone tomorrow, and maybe they'll beat the Lakers' record?"
Looking at Lin Han, who was talking cordially with Jerry West, Larry Bird also said with a smile.
The record of the Lakers? It's really not far away, it's just one game away! (To be continued)
