Chapter 17: Utah Jazz

The Utah Jazz were eliminated early in the NBA playoffs this year, making the team one of the first teams in the NBA to prepare for the draft, so the team's training camp is not much different in size even from Chicago's talent camp.

Of course, compared with the talent training camp in Chicago, the players who came to the Jazz for trial were not as good as Chicago in terms of players, at least, when Lin Han walked in here, it was no longer silent, nor was it like when he walked into the Chicago training camp, if it wasn't for the poor number of his body at that time, he was probably not paid attention to, because in the talent training camp, Lin Han was indeed a dispensable small role.

And now, at Jazz training camp, when Lynham arrived, the Asian player quickly became the focus of the team.

I have to say that since USA Today reported on Lin Han's detailed rookie report not long ago, and the high-profile prediction that this player has the strength to be in the second round and even enter the round, Lin Han has been completely popular, after all, USA Today is not an ordinary American newspaper, if the draft and NCAA are concerned, even the New York Times and the Washington Post have to follow USA Today and lick their butts.

Therefore, Lin Han is not only on fire in the NBA or basketball fan circle, but also among these rookies participating in this year's draft, and even a hot mess, after all, his identity is the first Chinese rookie in NBA history, this selling point is still good, and Lin Han is also the scoring champion of Chicago's talent training camp, beating Hardaway, Alan Houston and other scoring strongmen, which is enough to make people feel that it is worth hype.

In this case, when Lin Han came to the Jazz's training camp, almost all the other players who tried out here were strongly hostile, because Lin Han was obviously here to steal their jobs

"Amazing, it's really amazing, this guy is really known as the Cun Zài who can enter the top 30 in the draft, it's really amazing!"

"Evan Myers is the strongest scoring guard in this training camp, both defensive and offensive are the top, especially his defense, even Coach Phil Johnson praises him, thinking that he has reached the quasi-NBA level, but now, there is almost no resistance in front of this Asian kid?"

"yes, this guy faced Evan Myers' defense and just used the trick of turning and stepping back to shoot the jumper, and he could play as much as he wanted, and Miles didn't have any way at all? It's unbelievable, is this what USA Today calls an NBA-level jump shot? It's incredible."

"Looking at it now, Evan Myers is really unlucky, I thought the Jazz would use the second-round pick to choose him, and now it seems that his second-round pick is not safe, but this is a very happy thing, who made him so arrogant in the training camp before, thinking that he was the strongest and constantly humiliating the opponent, even if he wanted to show himself, he couldn't do too much, this time God appeared, so that he was retributed"

"It's too early to say this, don't forget, this Asian rookie is known to have the strength to enter the round, if the Jazz don't use the round to select him, I'm afraid he really can't be selected, so no matter how you look at the Jazz's second-round pick, you can stay, but if the Jazz really get this Asian kid, I'm afraid they won't need Evan Myers."

On June 6, 1993, the rookie training camp of the Utah Jazz, as the NBA draft approached, the rookies should be more and more urgent, and now in the Jazz training camp, at this time, almost all the rookies gathered next to a court to point and whisper to the people in the court, and under the basket of the court, there are two players going heads-up.

Lin Han is extremely clear and psychologically prepared for the hostility of the players here when he comes here, the NBA draft is a single-plank bridge, either you die or I live, so I don't care about these hostilities Lin Han at all.

But Lin Han didn't care, but others cared very much, such as the Evan Myers who was singled out with Lin Han at this time, this arrogant guy actually said directly that he wanted to use his defensive ability to see how Lin Han's talent training camp scoring champion was, which made Lin Han very speechless.

If it was a regular one-on-one bullfight, Lin Han really wouldn't dare now, but if it was said that Lin Han would attack and the opponent would defend, such a mutated heads-up, Lin Han would be really not afraid of anyone except for Hardaway, the perfect player, among all the rookies this year.

Obviously, Evan Johnson, who came to the door, prides himself on his defense, and even Jazz assistant coach Phil Johnson has expressed high praise for his defensive ability, who is Phil Johnson? He's not an ordinary assistant coach, this guy is the former head coach of the Kansas Kings, who is now the Sacramento Kings, and the winner of the NBA Coach of the Year, this guy can be regarded as one of the most prestigious assistant coaches in the NBA, and the affirmation of being able to get him is almost enough to prove that he is excellent.

And before Lin Han's arrival, this Evan Myers had humiliated many opponents with such a mutated heads-up, and never missed, in a sense, the offensive player took the initiative in the face of the defensive player, but in the same way, the offensive player has to bear the pressure of success rate relative to the defensive player, so it is really hard to say which side is beneficial to such a mutated heads-up.

However, as far as Lin Han is concerned, such a heads-up is definitely the most suitable for him.

"Alright, the heads-up between the two of you can be over"

Looking at Evan Myers, who was already out of breath and embarrassed, and Lin Han, who was still calm and smiling, the team's assistant coach Phil Johnson on the sidelines at this time also immediately stopped the heads-up.

Now the result is obvious, there is no need to continue, after all, Miles is defeated, and Lin Han is victorious.

This time, he connived at Lin Han's 2o consecutive difficult turn-over back-to-back jumpers or sideways back-to-back jumpers almost made Evan Myers despair, and the defender, who was taller than Linhan in the armband, never really had a successful defense.

After Lin Han shot, the basketball didn't go in just to see Lin Han's hand, and it had nothing to do with Evan Myers, so to speak, this one-on-one heads-up Miles completely lost, and the loss was miserable, especially in these twenty shots, he didn't have any steals and blocks, after all, such a direct defensive number is difficult to get directly, but Lin Han has not even changed the position of his feet in this heads-up, and almost all the offensive areas are at the free throw line.

Why is this happening? Obviously, in the eyes of many people, Lin Han disdains to move in the face of Miles, just like an adult and a child heads-up, do adults need to move when they create a zào shooting opportunity? Naturally, it doesn't.

"Boy, your jumper is great, let's stop here"

After Phil Johnson glanced at Lin Han deeply, he said softly, and Lin Han also shrugged his shoulders and threw the basketball in his hand on the ground indifferently.

For Lin Han, this heads-up can end at any time, this guy named Miles is far worse than Alan Houston, it is not challenging at all, once or twice is okay, if it goes on all the time, Lin Han will be very unhappy, although he will not be tired at all with such a heads-up

"Jerry, it seems that you really found a very good guy, Evan Myers is like not having zài in front of him, he has succeeded 14 times in 20 heads-ups, and the success rate is 7 percent, and this success rate is all completed with jump shots, it's incredible, in the end, this guy hasn't even changed the rhythm of his heartbeat, it seems to be completely effortless, such a heads-up ability, such an endurance level, even if his physical talent is really not good, But also malleable enough, he will be a very important piece of the puzzle for the team! ”

In the Jazz's head coach's office, as the general manager of the team, Scott Rayden didn't have time to catch his breath at this time, and after rushing in excitedly, he reported to the team's head coach Jerry Sloan that he had just been born on the training ground, and it was obvious that in his opinion, this Asian kid was indeed qualified, even better than he imagined.

"Jerry, I think we need to make some deals with him now, like hope he doesn't go to other NBA teams for training, otherwise we might face a lot of competition."

In the end, listening to the general manager of the team, Jerry Sloan, who was also very happy, frowned at this time.

Scott Rayden is right, keeping Lin Han and not letting him go to other teams for training is the best choice for the Jazz, but again, if you want to keep Lin Han, then you need to pay a bigger price, not that Jerry Sloan is not willing to pay a big price for Lin Han, but this will disrupt his entire draft strategy.
