Chapter 392: The Lakers Can Already Compete for the Championship?!
(Sorry, I'm late to go home today, this update is late, there are still two updates today, this is the first update)
The Lakers beat the Utah Jazz by 11 points at home, and if only from a win-loss point of view, this win was only one of the Lakers' forty wins this season, but it is clear that this win is definitely not just one of all 40 wins of the Lakers this season!
The Lakers defeated the Jazz at home, achieved the team's best record in recent times, five consecutive wins, and by the way dragged the Jazz from the third place in the West, then this game is the most important game for the Lakers this season, and it is also the most important game for Lin Han this season, and even when Lin Han retired after more than ten years, in Lin Han's career, the importance of this game can definitely be ranked in the forefront of the position!
This is not just Lin Han did what Jordan did not do, in many expert media clamored that it was impossible for either Lin Han or Jordan to score 60 points in recent times, and Lin Han won 60 points again in this game, the most important thing is that as the abandoned general of the Jazz team, Lin Han defeated his former club with the Lakers, who are obviously inferior to the Jazz team in the eyes of the world, and surpassed his former club in the ranking!
Just like many people said before the start of this game, when the Lakers faced the crazy pursuit of the supersonic and finally stabilized their fourth position in the West, many people did not expect that the Lakers under the leadership of Lin Han could have such a table this season, needless to say, this season's Lakers are the most potential team at the bottom before the start of the season, even if most of the Lakers fans probably think so, and even when this team even lost a team like the Timberwolves in the preseason, Even many fans are angry and scolded the team for losing so much that they don't even want to lose face, such a team, even if the preseason and the regular season are very different, but who would have thought that this team would eventually become such a team?!
In just half a season, a team that is considered to be sure to be at the bottom has ranked third in the West and fourth in the league, except for the Lakers, Bulls and Spurs, the Lakers have the best regular season record!
That's right, when the Lakers beat the Jazz at home, the team had the fourth-best record in the league, surpassing not only the Jazz but also the Magic!
What kind of span is it from the prediction of the bottom one of the league to the actual ranking of the top four in the league?!
Although it is not to say that there is a difference between heaven and earth, in fact, it is almost the same, in the eyes of Lakers fans, this is the case!
Even if this team is now, to the fourth place in the league, this team is not very high in the eyes of media experts, such as the championship prediction, the Lakers have never been the favorite, and even compared to the low-ranked Magic, the Jazz and the SuperSonics are inferior, when the Lakers were still fourth in the West, many media experts did not think that this team could pass the first round, and there was no way, when the Lakers were fourth, the SuperSonics were fifth, this Nima's, No team in the league dares to say that they will be able to beat their opponents in the face of the supersonics, let alone the Lakers, a team that has not been good against the supersonic meter this season.
After all, the SuperSonics are not an ordinary NBA powerhouse, this team wants to talk about the overall strength, they are indeed inferior to the Bulls, not as good as the Rockets, and not as good as the Jazz and the Magic, but this team has a place that no other team can compare, this team is quite hungry, because this team was hit by the black seven last season, if any team is really black seven or black eight, the damage to a team is quite large, when Lin Han was still in the Jazz team, The Jazz were eliminated by the SuperSonics in just the first round of the previous season, the Jazz team has a whole season of grudges, Malone and Stockton or others have expressed their desire to take revenge, the reason why the Jazz team has so much determination and energy last season is not only because of how good Lin Han's personal contribution is, in fact, almost everyone in the entire team has a clear goal, after being scolded by the fans after a round of the playoffs, The Jazz team is up and down to prove that they are not that bad, and in this case, last season's Jazz team was almost unstoppable after adding a Lynnham!
And the Jazz team's encounter with a round of travel and the supersonic by the black seven round of the tour, that is worse I don't know how much, even the Jazz team has that determination, not to mention the supersound, although the season of the supersonic is very affected by the black seven last season, the team's record is not stable, but after these young players adjusted, that kind of arrogance simply made everyone look sideways, if this team is just a bad team in the regular season, then this team has reached the playoffs, It will definitely become a team that can't be provoked, even if a team like the Rockets and Bulls encounters the supersounds, even if they can win, they may have to pay a considerable price, in this case, how can this team be the opponent of the supersonic with the Lakers who play a single nuclear tumor tactic.
Who doesn't know that in the playoffs, a team with a single nuclear tumor style of play has never had a good end, and even Chamberlain and Jordan can't play in the playoffs, let alone Lin Han?
Therefore, although the Lakers have a very good regular season record, they are the team with the least playoff potential among all the top four teams in the East and West, to change the word, don't look at the Lakers' good record, but in fact, it is a soft persimmon in the playoffs, in the entire West, among the top eight teams, the Lakers don't seem to have any team that can win, not to mention the top four, the last four, such as the Sonics, the Suns, the Nuggets and the Warriors, now look at the Lakers can also bully the Suns without Barkley, The key is that with the strength of the Suns now, this team is afraid that it will fall to seventh or eighth, and can the Lakers rise to first and second in the West? I'm afraid it's hard, right?
Of course, this is the opinion of many people before the Lakers and Jazz games, these people are not optimistic about the Lakers' performance in the playoffs this season, and even before this game, some people think that after the Lakers lose this game with the Jazz, they will even be caught up by the SuperSonics soon to complete the overtake.
And the final result, of course, these people's predictions can't go as expected, after this Lakers home game with the Jazz is over, who dares to say that the Lakers are soft persimmons?!
The proposition that the Lakers are soft persimmons is based on the fact that Lin Han and the Lakers will have problems in the face of that kind of extreme defense, most of the cancer players, including Jordan and Chamberlain, they have had such problems, but in this game, Lin Han did what Jordan and Chamberlain did not do!
In the face of such extreme defense, which player in NBA history dares to play like this to Lin Han?!
This Nima doesn't care how many people there are in front of him, he throws the ball when he has the opportunity, this Nima even looks stupid when he watches Jordan who watched this game, not to mention others, and even the Lakers' consultant Carell was a little stunned when the whistle blew at the end of the game, this is not this old man with Alzheimer's disease, but he was really blinded by Lin Han's table in this game, the head coach who has been coaching for more than 40 years, Chamberlain he has seen, Jordan he has also seen, the four major tumors of the eighties, Ice Gervin, He has also seen singles Wang Danteli and others, but he has never seen any cancer player who can do it as a matter of course as Lin Han!
That's right, in Carell's opinion, Lin Han's cancer is a matter of course!
The status of cancer players among media experts has never been high, Jordan was scolded by that group of experts to change the style of play and play all-round, to brush the triple-double, even if the media was not developed at that time, but the comparison between the first half of the football king's career and the second half of his career can be seen, this cancer really wanted to change his ways, after all, this Nima, as a center, in order not to let people say that he was a tumor, even the assist king brushed, this is not called changing the evil and returning to the right.
Although these two extreme figures in the cancer world are more cancerous, they are both a little inferior, and even in their own hearts, they feel that their style of play does not seem to be able to get into the hall of elegance, and even Chamberlain has not been able to complete the leap in the second half of his career, and has been caught in such a tangle, so that his basketball way has been polluted, as the most talented player in NBA history, he has not been able to really reach the highest peak of that palace, which is his lifelong regret, And although Jordan also hesitated in his own way of basketball, this guy finally persevered, after brushing a season of triple-doubles, he played awkwardly, and others were still scolding him, and finally Jordan stopped playing directly, what should he do, much more decisive than Chamberlain, so what made Chamberlain very envious was that Jordan reached the highest peak position in the hall that Chamberlain never reached.
Although in terms of strength, Chamberlain and Jordan may be similar, and even Chamberlain may be a little stronger, of course, this two sides have not really done it, no one knows, but the difference in strength only affects the number of jù, and the gap in the realm affects the achievement!
Strength affects the number of jù, realm affects achievement, as a coach who has been a head coach for so many years, how can he not know this.
Therefore, when he saw that Lin Han, who was only 21 years old, actually Nima looked higher than Jordan and Chamberlain, this Nima simply made him not know what to say.
Just like a knight novel, even as the protagonist of the novel, when fighting monsters and upgrading, there will always be a breakthrough problem, what sky knight, earth knight, etc., the breakthrough in this is not only the growth of strength, but also the realm, almost everyone has to start from scratch, and the protagonist is the same.
But Lin Han seems to have been born to train his realm to the full level, just like a very shameless knight novel who always gives the protagonist a plug-in, and makes a batch of 'what body' and 'what what body' and 'what body is innate', and Lin Han is undoubtedly the protagonist of those knight novels like these shameless open novels, this Nima is simply a 'congenital tumor body'!
Of course, Carell, such an experienced head coach, was stupid by Lin Han, this is definitely not because Lin Han was born with almost full proficiency in the way of cancer, but in Carell's opinion, although Lin Han is not anything. Innate team body', but Lin Han is definitely the best team player he has ever seen, even if he has been playing the Princeton tactical system for so many years, he has never been able to see any player who can have a ball quotient like Lin Han, plus Lin Han's repeated sacrifices for him before, although he has never expressed any gratitude to Lin Han, but in his heart, Lin Han is even the perfect team player in his heart, this Nima is even a player who is ashamed of himself as a magician, even if it is not the first ball quotient in NBA history, but it is not far behind!
Obviously has the strongest ball dealer in the world and the most team heart, but he was born with a 'congenital tumor body', this Nima simply made Karel's head a little stunned, and he didn't know what to say at all.
Of course, after the game, as the team's consultant, Carell was so surprised by Lin Han's amazing performance that he didn't know what to say, but as Lakers fans, they didn't have Carell's mind, their idea was very simple, the Lakers reached the third place in the West under the leadership of Lin Han, which made them very happy, not only the fans were very happy, but the whole Los Angeles was quite happy!
Although the strength of the Lakers has not been recognized, the difference between the fourth in the West and the third in the West is still very big, especially in recent years, when the league has a trend of being strong in the West and weak in the East, the fourth in the West is simply a position that is roasted by fire, last year's fourth Spurs in the West was pitted by the Warriors in the fifth in the West, it can be seen that in the West, the fourth and fifth are really not a big gap, and the third in the West is different, in the face of the Nuggets and the Warriors, the Lakers are not sure of winning, this is certain, The Nuggets' Mutombo has always been the bitter master of the Lakers, and the Warriors' all-round team also makes the Lakers not so easy to manage, and the all-round team is the team with the most playoff potential, so don't look at the Warriors' regular season record is not good, but many experts are quite optimistic about the team's playoff performance.
In the NBA's mainstream expert circle, the two types of teams with the greatest playoff potential, one is a well-rounded team, the team has no shortcomings, no fatal shortcomings, as for the 80-point all-round or 90-point all-round or 100-point all-round, this is another way, in addition to the all-round team, the other is not all-round, but the defensive team, although the NBA's offense to win the championship and the defense to win the championship have been arguing, But because it is easier for a team to play defense than to play offense, it is easier to defend, so the defensive playoff potential is greater, of course, if you meet the Lakers before the Magic, you should not say anything, after all, the Lakers have pushed the offensive score to 100 points or more, if the defensive team score is not 95 points, and the all-round team does not have more than 90 points, there is no ability to resist at all.
As for the single-nuclear tumor led by Lin Han, this is one of the types with the lowest potential, unless such a type of team can finally change its type, make the defensive focus bigger, become stronger, and become a special cancer defensive team that Lin Han has a cancer and everyone else defends, which can greatly enhance the team's playoff potential, and it is also the only way for this kind of team, otherwise let the core of the team not be a cancer, and play triangle offense or other tactical systems like Jordan.
This is also the reason why the Lakers' assistant coach Hubi Brown has always wanted to implement a defensive system in the Lakers, as a very experienced coach, Hubi Brown is no worse than Carell, and even he is more pragmatic than Carell, knowing how to make the Lakers closer to the championship,
It's just that, in the end, the Lakers finally chose Carell because of some special ideas from Jerry West, which has always made Hubbie Brown a little uncertain, because he knows that it is not a quick road.
However, this qiē idea and speculation were all thoughts before this game, and after this game, even Lin Han's single-nuclear cancer team, the type of team with the worst playoff potential and the farthest away from the championship, has changed dramatically in public opinion across the United States after this game!
Because, after this game, for the first time, many media in the United States sent the Lakers to the favorite position for the first time!
That's right, the favourite!
"The most special cancer player, Lin Han once again proved that he is a unique player, this is not only the most special player among the active players, but also the most special player in NBA history, in the history of the NBA, not many people will make a choice like Lin Han in the face of such a defense, and these players who made such a choice as Lin Han, no one can lead the team to victory like Lin Han, he is a natural scorer, regardless of the opponent's defense, None of them can stop him from scoring efficiently, he will change the whole NBA landscape of cancer players, and after Lin Han led the Lakers to defeat the Jazz, this team is already on the road to winning the championship! ”
This is the comment on the front page of the sports section of the game on the front page of the day after the game of USA Today, the media actually directly shouted that Lin Han will change the pattern of cancer players in the NBA, because the potential of the cancer team in the playoffs is too low, too far from the championship, which leads to the status of the cancer player league is quite low, and even some cancer players at the beginning of their careers, because they do not have the all-star level strength or quasi-all-star level strength required to start, These players will disguise themselves as defensive players, not to mention anything else, first ensure that they can play, and then say, when the cancer players do such things in order to be able to play, in order to be able to let the team cultivate themselves, this Nima can imagine what their pattern in the NBA is like, and even some cancer players who have no defensive ability, and do not have the strength of quasi-All-Stars and All-Stars, even if these cancer players are stronger than all-round or defensive players of the same level, They could all end up being forced to leave the NBA.
This can't be blamed on the NBA team reality, who made your pattern too low? Even tumors of the level of Chamberlain and Jordan can't win the championship, you deserve to be looked down upon, look at the grandfather Russell of other people's defensive type, and then look at the all-round big boss Larry Bird and Magic, these people are really champions and soft hands, if Jordan doesn't play triangle offense, how many championships can there be now? It's hard for anyone to say.
If you want to change the pattern and status of cancer players in the NBA, this Nima is definitely not just talking, this is even more difficult than winning championships and winning several championships, Lin Han really has to do this, then this Nima is definitely tied with Russell and other football kings.
Therefore, don't look at the report on entering the United States, it doesn't seem to be blowing Lin Han, it just says that Lin Han and the Lakers are already the favorites to win the championship, but those NBA professionals almost had sore teeth after reading this report from USA Today, and Lin Han just played a game that surpassed the average cancer player.
Just like when Jordan won the championship back then, Jordan's fans really shouted at that time, 'One crown is super magic bird, two crowns are super Jaba, and three crowns are directly super god', at that time, Jordan was ridiculed by other fans and team media, and today's American argument is a bit of Lin Han's 'no crown is better than the magic bird, one crown and the Lord of the Rings' posture, which is more domineering than the Jordan fans.
Therefore, after such a report was made in the United States today, there was really an uproar in the entire NBA professional circle.
However, because of the last game with the Jazz Lin Han's performance is too impressive, Lin Han's feeling that even if it is a cancer, it is a matter of course, the impact on people is too great, what USA Today said cannot be used to evaluate Lin Han with ordinary cancer players is absolutely correct, although most of the media and newspapers in the United States do not agree with the behavior of America Today to create gods for Lin Han, but there is no doubt that they also agree, Lin Han and the Lakers after defeating the Jazz, It is already possible to compete for the championship, and I have agreed that Lin Han and the Lakers cannot be evaluated by the ultra-low playoff potential of the general tumor singles, and the Lakers and Lin Han do have much potential in the playoffs than such an ordinary cancer team.
In this case, although the god-making movement in the United States today did not succeed, they still led the entire league in the impressive movement of the Lakers and Linham.
This also has to be said that Lin Han left the Jazz team to come to a team like the Lakers, which was considered to be the bottom of the list at the beginning, and finally took this kind of bottom team to complete the counterattack against the defending champion is too dramatic, too personal heroism, plus Lin Han's style of play is indeed enough personal heroism, which is also the reason why multimedia reporters touted Lin Han and the Lakers so much after the end of this game. Even some media that have an average or even bad relationship with Lin Han are on Lin Han's side at this time.
Even the New York Times did not tout Lin Han at this time, but it did not step on Lin Han and the Lakers, this media that is almost a mortal enemy of Lin Han, at this time almost with his little brother constantly and frantically trampled on Karl Malone and the Jazz!
You know, although the relationship between Lin Han and the New York Times is really quite bad, it does not mean that the Jazz and Malone have a good relationship with the New York media.
Even except for the dunk that Lin Han leaped over Ewing this season to dissolve the Knicks, most of Lin Han's sins against the Knicks were completed in the Jazz team, that is to say, the New York media's hatred of the Jazz team is no worse than Lin Han's pass, this Nima Linhan is now in full swing, if they step on Lin Han, it will be most likely scolded by others for not having IQ, in this case, they will not have any side effects if they step on the Jazz!
"Lin Han's departure, the Jazz's struggle, the defending champion personally killed the team's hope of defending the title, if last summer, the Jazz team trusted Lin Han more and could see Malone more clearly, then this team would definitely not suffer the embarrassment it is now, a player who was abandoned by them, with a group of players who were almost considered garbage, completed revenge on a team that claims to be all elites, this thing is an immortal classic drama in NBA history!"
"Last year's championship made the Jazz and Malone overestimate the strength of their team, underestimate the energy of other teams in the league, the regular season and playoffs combined only lost 11 games, no team in the history of the league can achieve such an achievement, this is the capital of the Jazz, they do have the capital to look down on the world, but most of this capital is based on the super god of many games of Lin Han last season, although we don't like Lin Han, But I have to admit that he is one of the best key gentlemen in NBA history, he can lead the team to an incredible comeback in any desperate situation, he is an underrated leader, and Malone is an overrated leader! ”
The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, which is too normal in the NBA, not to mention the Jazz team at this time, even Lin Han, who has only been in the NBA for less than two seasons, he doesn't know how many times he has been pushed by others, but it is obvious that this time it is definitely the Jazz team's own fault, facing the frenzy of public opinion driven by the New York media.
Even as the hacked quite tragic Malone and Jerry Sloan and others, no one stood up to comment at this time,
This is definitely not that Malone and the Jazz recognized this kind of black public opinion of the New York Knicks, the reason why they became shrunken turtles at this time, is that they really don't know what to say, because this is the truth, they gave up on Lin Han, who looked better, they were stronger, but they were counterattacked by Lin Han, and they really single-handedly completed the real first time in NBA history, the real battle of one person defeating a team's super tumor, The Jazz, who have completed so many firsts, did not even attend the post-game press conference after this game, and when they returned to Salt Lake City, these people were sneaky, afraid of being surrounded by their own fans at the airport, in this case, where did they get the confidence and confidence to confront the New York media?
Since he has no confidence or courage, he can only be regarded as a turtle with a shrunken head, so for a while, the New York media almost staged a one-sided massacre, plus the Jazz fans in Salt Lake City themselves were disappointed in the team, and even some fans sided with the New York media.
Although Jazz fans support Lin Han very much, it doesn't mean that they tolerate the Jazz losing to the Lakers.
Obviously, this game was beaten so badly by the Lakers, and the Lakers were killed four times this season, which definitely affected the great cause of Jazz fans to invite Lin Han back!
It's no wonder that Jazz fans, who are already quite dissatisfied with the Jazz, can let the team go at this time, so after losing to the Lakers in this game, the Jazz team is in chaos again, and this time it's a big mess, this team doesn't know how long it will take, but one thing is for sure, if the Jazz team can't recover as much as possible, let alone say it's third, I'm afraid the fourth position will be lost!
Of course, after the game between the Lakers and the Jazz team ended, the public opinion of the entire NBA was mocking the Jazz, praising the Lakers and Lin Han, and being surprised by Lin Han's style of play that surpassed the previous cancer leaders, although they were unwilling to accept the god-making theory in the United States today, most of them thought that Lin Han could do what Jordan and Chamberlain couldn't do, just a game, although this is already quite amazing, but fortunately, it is not good enough to make gods and Russell are tied, Putting him and the Lakers in the championship favorites is already a good idea!
It's just that just two days later, when the Lakers played at home with the Suns on March 2, and at home with the Kings on March 3, when Lin Han scored 61 points and 54 points again in these two games, he scored more than 50+ points in three consecutive games, and led the Lakers to victory in these two games. The Suns and Kings' defense against Lin Han is still the kind of crazy defense!
And Lin Han's response was still the kind of frenzied response, as if his tumor's way of playing was taken for granted, there was still no hesitation, and as long as there was a chance, no matter how many people in front of him, all of them were tumors thrown to the extreme!
If Lin Han staged a super-tumor performance in a game, then this is quite acceptable, if Lin Han completes this super-tumor performance in three consecutive games, it is quite problematic, one game can only affect one game, and three games, especially three consecutive games, can affect a series!
If the media praise for Lin Han and the Lakers in the playoffs has improved before, most of them are just insincere praises, then after these two games, this is not the case at all!
"The Lakers really have the strength to win the championship!"
So, the day after the Lakers and Kings game, this time, almost all the major media in the United States put such a headline on the front page of their sports section! R1152
