Chapter 219: Lin, Thank You!

(Ball monthly pass, ball subscription!!! )

In the first half of the game between the Jazz team and the Magic team, the two teams can be said to have played very abruptly, originally because of the Jazz's infighting, the Magic, who had the advantage at the beginning, actually played to the end and became behind, and because of the infighting, the connection between the team's great core and the tactical play changed very much, and the Jazz team will finally make a big difference because Lin Han learned to pass the ball to the inside.

In this case, the Magic team, which was originally here for victory in this game, not only fell behind in the score after halftime, but also looked at the shape of the game, which is the rhythm of losing!

If it is a normal situation, the Magic, who have a record of 41-25 so far, lost to the Jazz who are 58-8, in fact, this is not a shame, after all, this team used to be difficult to play with the Jazz regardless of winning or losing, and the current position of the Jazz this season is the first in the league, and the Magic is only fourth in the East, in this case, the Magic is back-to-back, or away, and there is no > about losingWrong" will also lose.

But this is a normal situation, the Magic can allow the loss to happen, but, is this game a normal situation? Of course not, the Jazz team is like this now, because Malone refuses to cooperate with Stockton, the team's strongest weapon for the Magic, the blocking and dismantling cooperation between the two evils is gone, and the Jazz can be said to have abandoned half of their martial arts, and in this case, they also lost to the Jazz, how does this make the Magic mixed?

You know, don't look young in this team, whether it is the team's head coach Brian Hill or the team's boss O'Neal or the leader Hardaway, these people's morale is not low at all. Although it is said that this season when Jordan left, many people are optimistic about the Rockets and the Jazz. Optimistic that the Knicks or the Suns will win this year's championship, but these people on the Magic team are not without pursuits, on the contrary, this team not only has pursuits but also has a lot of pursuits!

So, when the Magic players returned to the locker room at halftime, there was almost all silence. Whether it's the team's head coach or the team's boss O'Neal or the team's rookie Hardaway, these people are silent.

The problem that this team is having now is very simple to say, and complex to say that it is complicated. After Lin Han, who is almost the best attacker in the league, can pass the ball to Malone and connect with Ma Long, the problem left for the Magic team is how to block Lin Han's offense and choke Lin Han's pass.

According to Lin Han's way of passing, Lin Han is not Stockton. Stockton though is stronger in passing ability. But even if Stockton passes through the ball, the Magic have nothing to be afraid of, because Stockton doesn't have much offensive ability, and the Magic doesn't need to wrap him up, as long as there are players between Stockton and Malone, no matter how strong Stockton's passing ability is, he doesn't dare to always pass such a pass, after all, this kind of pass is because he has to pass through many players on the way. It's very easy to make mistakes.

So, Stockton's one-handed long throw inside pass was wonderful. It is one of the important cooperation and playing styles of the Jazz team in the past, but Stockton basically didn't use it after Lin Han came to the team, because the danger of such a pass is too high, rather than passing this kind of ball to Malone on the inside, it is better to hand the ball to Lin Han with a horizontal pass, in terms of attack power, Lin Han and Malone are actually not far apart, even if the two have a difference in the shooting rate of an inside attack and an outside attack, but considering the error rate, this kind of pass is still sealed by Stockton.

But the difference between Lin Han and Stockton is that he can attract the bag, the team's two interior O'Neal and Turner must have one person to help defend out, if the Magic team has a level of help defense like Camp, Bryan Hill has no worries, because Camp can definitely do it after the help defense goes out, and can also run back to intercept Lin Han's pass to Malone, Camp's movement can be enough to do this, but the key point is that Turner does not have such ability, he is just a role player, There is only one thing he can do, either to wrap up Lin Han or to stare at Ma Long, and these two things cannot be done at the same time.

In this case, for the Magic, it is actually very simple to deal with Lin Han's style of play, as long as there is a level like Camp to help defend inside, and it is also very difficult to deal with Lin Han's style of play, because their team just doesn't have such a player, unless O'Neal is taken out of the interior to help defend Lin Han, although O'Neal's help defense is not top-notch, but it is much stronger than Turner, but the key is that O'Neal is absolutely unwilling, if this flexible fat man likes to go outside to help defend, will not be beaten by Malone and Stockton's blocking.

And after O'Neal leaves the basket, even if Lin Han doesn't pass the ball, the magic will have to kneel.

So at this time, for the head coach of the Magic team, Brian Hill, the problem is very difficult now, and he doesn't know what to do at all, and finally after everyone in the Magic was silent for a while, the head coach of the Magic also looked at the team's rookie Hardaway.

"Perry, how sure are you in the second half if you let Lin Han defend alone?"

When Brian Hill looked at Hardaway after finishing speaking, the other Magic players also looked at Hardaway at this time, if Hardaway can pinch Hardaway one-on-one on the defensive end, then these problems will be solved, and Turner can also concentrate on defending Malone. You can cut off the connection between Malone and Lin Han.

But almost all Magic players know that although Hardaway is comprehensive, but his strongest is his help to the team on the offensive end, if he is allowed to focus all his energy on the defensive end, the Jazz's offense will definitely drop a notch, after all, although O'Neal is powerful, but now the Jazz's interior line is not the time it used to be, Pollinis was sat very badly by O'Neal in this game, but the Haitian monster did not collapse, and Malone has been preparing to wrap O'Neal on the defensive end, in this case, If Hardaway sacrifices his offense to defend Lynch, and the Jazz wrap up O'Neal in this game, then the Magic will really kneel.

And, more crucially, more. Even if Hardaway really goes to defend Lin Han alone, the key is whether he can defend alone, which is also a problem.

It's just that at this time, the Magic team is behind everyone. This is a thing that there is no way to do, change may still lose, but if you don't change, I'm afraid you will definitely lose, I have to say that although the Magic lineup is still very strong this season, there is still a loophole in the team is the lack of strength in the team's power forward position, and O'Neal lacks a hitter. This is also the reason why O'Neill was almost broken by Malone and Lin Han in this game.

Facing the extremely expectant eyes of the head coach of the team, Hardaway, who has always been cold, did not speak, but was silent for a while under everyone's gaze. Nodding.

"I'll do my best"

After Hardaway said it coldly, both Bryan Hill and the team's power forward Turner secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Hardaway was willing to do his best, and that was enough.

Of course. At half-time. The atmosphere of the Magic team is very dignified now, and the Jazz locker room not far away is actually not much worse, in the first half of the game, under the leadership of Lin Han, Malone and Lin Han once again doubled, the Jazz players can feel that the team's situation may be a little bad.

After all, as long as you are not a fool, the whole team knows that the current head coach of the team, Jerry Sloan, and the team's leading point guard, Stockton, are beating Malone or Lin Han, and now, in this game, Lin Han and Malone are working together without getting rid of Stockton, isn't this the face of Hong Guoguo's head coach Jerry Sloan?

Jerry Sloan is going Marlon. I hope Ma Long can come to his senses, and now Lin Han is fine. Directly in the first half, he used the ball he got from Stockton to share with Malone.

And what is even more speechless is that as the game progressed over time, Stockton even relaxed the ball requirements for Lin Han, even if Lin Han did not have a chance, he would give the ball to the team's scoring guard, and Stockton's approach was also against Jerry Sloan's layout of this game.

With Jerry Sloan's character, it's no wonder that he can be in a good mood at this time.

So although the Jazz entered the locker room with the lead at this time, everyone was almost silent, and even Lin Han and Ma Long, two players who played very well in the first half, did not speak at this time.

According to the personalities of Lin Han and Ma Long, if it weren't for the team's head coach Jerry Sloan, these two would have been nervous a long time ago, and even embarrassed the team's head coach.

In this regard, although the Jazz were indeed in the midst of infighting before, the team has not been out of control, although Malone has been out of control for a short time, but he has always adhered to the bottom line, at least today's game Jerry Sloan arranged him, and he did not resist.

Of course, in Ma Long's heart, Jerry Sloan still has some status, and Stockton naturally doesn't need to say that until the last moment, Ma Long has been guarding the bottom line, and Lin Han is similar, although he has always wanted to help Ma Long and want to prove that there is no problem with the basketball between himself and Ma Long, but Lin Han did not recklessly stand on Ma Long's side and confront Jerry Sloan or Stockton when the team was training, which is also Lin Han's bottom line.

Therefore, in the first half of this game, the Jazz team's Lin Han and Ma Long's table Xiàn embarrassed Sloane, really embarrassed, Sloan means that these two are fighting alone, and only one player in the team is enough, but now the two players of the team who are fighting alone actually play team basketball, how can this not make him embarrassed, if Lin Han had such an ability before, how could he directly fight Ma Long or Lin Han, and he has already begun to design new tactics to wield the maximum power of the team's three cores, Although Jerry Sloan is not his specialty in designing tactics, at least he will not risk the team falling apart and forcibly reversing Malone.

Therefore, at this time, unlike the Magic, although the Jazz locker room has the same atmosphere that is a little wrong, everyone still maintains a balance, and now everyone is waiting for what Jerry Sloan will do next.

Lin Han and Malone have now been linked, at least the two are not singles in this game, can Jerry Sloan pull down the ball to unblock the ball of Malone and Lin Han? Although Stockton had already unlocked Lin Han on his own initiative in the first half.

Although Malone definitely hopes to get an apology from Sloane, Malone also knows that this is impossible, but he has suffered so many grievances recently, even if there is no apology. At the very least, an explanation is needed.

And Stockton is also waiting for Jerry Sloan's choice, although he lifted Lin Han's ball blockade in the first half, but has not lifted Malone. Because Stockton doesn't know what Jerry Sloan's thoughts are, whether to continue to forcibly block Malone in the team, so that Malone can reverse his style of play in the recent period, Stockton is a very smart player, if he lifts Malone's blockade in the first half, Jerry Sloan will definitely feel that the team's three leaders are putting pressure on him and confronting him, which is absolutely impossible to tolerate for the stubborn Sloan.

Stockton ended up saving Sloan face. Even if the Jazz point guard is still hurting his friends, I have to say that Stockton is not the strongest player of the Jazz in terms of strength. But he is absolutely qualified as the leader of the team, and if he were an ordinary person, I am afraid that he would have lost control of the team long ago.

The Jazz's locker room was silent, though Malone had been looking calm. But the Jazz's dominant player's eyes have been wandering. Constantly floating around on Jerry Sloan and Stockton, the meaning is already obvious.

And after a short silence, Jerry Sloan, who had been standing there as the head coach of the team, finally broke the silence.

"In the first half we had a good table, Carl and Lin worked together brilliantly, in the second half we needed more cooperation, all the players needed more contact"

After saying this, Jerry Sloan didn't wait for the reaction of his players. Instead, he left the locker room first, as Jerry Sloan's assistant. Phil Johnson was stunned for a moment, and then followed out with a quick smile.

And when Phil Johnson and Jerry Sloan left the team locker room, after a brief silence, Malone and Lynham and the other Jazz players jumped straight from their seats and cheered.

Especially Malone and Lin Han, these two Jazz leading players hugged each other almost directly, although Jerry Sloan did not apologize, nor did he directly admit his mistake, but the meaning of this sentence has been very, very obvious to sù Malone, the things he did before were not considered, to be able to say such a thing, in terms of Jerry Sloan's character, it is very rare, so this is very satisfactory to Malone.

Of course, for the rest of the Jazz players, once the problem between the head coach and the big man is resolved, they finally don't have to be caught between the two sides, and no role player in the NBA wants to play on a team full of contradictions.

Maybe they know that after Malone and Jerry Sloan reconcile today, they may be deprived of the ball a lot, but compared to the helplessness on the court, this kind of depression off the field makes them more uncomfortable, so Elliott also smiled helplessly and nodded after Jerry Sloan said that.

"Carl, Lin, you're doing a good job"

After the Jazz players celebrated for a short time, Stockton, who had been smiling silently on the side, suddenly walked in front of Lin Han and Ma Long, who were hugging each other, and stretched out his thumbs to Lin Han and Ma Long, who were a little surprised, and at this time Lin Han Ma Long was also directly stunned, Lin Han was okay, although what Stockton did to him made Lin Han a little uncomfortable on the court, but there was not much emotional damage, the key is Ma Long, Stockton was his closest teammate and comrade-in-arms, although it was for the team, But Stockton's previous approach undoubtedly made the extremely childish Malone very unhappy, otherwise he would not have done the kind of thing on the court that elbowed the opponent for no reason to apply for a dismissal.

For Malone, most of the reason why his previous relationship was out of control was probably not that he couldn't catch the ball on the court, but that he didn't think that Stockton would betray him.

So when Stockton said apologetically, everyone was waiting for Malone to make a statement, and when the Jazz players saw Malone was silent for a moment, and after his face was several times, Stockton, who also stretched out his right hand, stretched out his right hand, the Jazz locker room was jubilant again.

Of course, at this time, the Jazz locker room was in a state of jubilation, and Jerry Sloan, who had left the locker room before, had been standing outside the door with his assistant Phil Johnson.

"Jerry, it looks like these kids are now alive"

After listening to the movement inside, Phil Johnson smiled and said to his old partner, and Phil Johnson finished speaking. Jerry Sloan was silent again.

"Fei'er, did you say I did something wrong before?".

After a brief silence, Jerry Sloan muttered to himself. And hearing Jerry Sloan say this, Phil Johnson on the side shook his head.

"Jerry, you're not wrong, it's just that Lin has grown too fast, his growth has exceeded all of our expectations and control, we just underestimated our own players"

After Phil Johnson finished speaking, Jerry Sloan, who was a little depressed, also lit up in front of him. Although he is a stubborn person, a stubborn person is never a stupid person.

"yes, we did underestimate our players. They were even better than we could have imagined."

Thinking of this, Jerry Sloan and Phil Johnson both laughed after looking at each other

"The Magic had some problems in the first half, but for now, the problems on the Jazz's side are still not solved. Although the Jazz have slowly gained the upper hand. But the Magic still have some plays, but one of the biggest problems for the Magic right now is that they just played a tough game against the Warriors yesterday, and I don't know if they can make it to the end."

When the two teams returned to the court after halftime, Collins on the sidelines also groaned a little at this time.

The two teams played very intensely in this game, and it can be said that the intensity was completely unexpected by many people, according to many people's views on this game before the game. If the Jazz don't have infighting, the magic of back-to-back away games will only be hanged. Similarly, if the Jazz team is infighting, after losing the big killer weapon of Malone and Stockton, the Magic team is likely to completely explode the Jazz in the infighting.

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, it is difficult to play too fierce in this game, after all, the Jazz are really able to restrain the Magic under ordinary circumstances, and even the head coach of the Magic, Brian Hill, agrees with this opinion, he just hopes that his team can fight before the game, after all, the consecutive Western away games do make this team's physical fitness problematic, especially yesterday and the Warriors played a fierce game of killing and being killed, and even O'Neal was sent off in the end.

However, the two teams have fought to this point, and now there is basically no way out, and they will definitely strive to win this game, even if the Magic team really encounters physical problems, I am afraid they will grit their teeth and persevere.

So under normal circumstances, the second half of this game should also be a very tight game, and as the commentator of this game, for the sake of ABC's ratings, he naturally hopes for this.

"Hey, the Jazz players don't have the right expressions on their faces right now."

Just as Collins was looking forward to how exciting the game would be, Larry Bird, who was on the side, suddenly felt that something was wrong when he saw the Jazz players walking to the court again, and that there was something wrong with the feelings of these players and the Jazz players sitting on the bench on the sidelines.

And when Larry Bird finished speaking, Collins also sensed something different.

"It looks like there should be something going on in the locker room for the Jazz, I just don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing"

After being stunned for a moment, Larry Bird also said with a smile, and at this time the second half of the game also began, because O'Neal won the jump ball in the first quarter, so the first attack in the first and fourth quarters belonged to the Magic, and the first attack in the second and third quarters belonged to the Jazz.

So after the start of the third quarter, the Jazz attacked first.

As the team's organizational guard, Stockton received the baseline ball, almost as usual, without any changes, in a very appropriate degree to advance the ball to the frontcourt, if only so, then no one on the scene will feel wrong, according to the Jazz team's style of play in the first half, at this time Lin Han should start to run around the bottom line, and other Jazz players also continue to start covering Lin Han's running position around the court by the way to transmit the ball from Stockton's hands.

It's just that to the uproar of almost everyone on the scene, when Jerry Sloan recommended the ball to the top of the arc, Malone, who barely moved in the first half, directly threw off the Magic defender Turner and pulled out to make a block with Stockton, and when Turner posted it after a brief surprise, Malone and Stockton's block was already complete. And Stockton has also sent the basketball in his hand to Malone with a very gorgeous back-of-head pass, and at this time, Malone, who has been dismantled to the left side of the free throw line and goes to the next step, did not hesitate after receiving the ball, and hit a mid-range jumper directly.

And when Malone scored this block very usually. When the Jazz team returned to defense with a smile on their faces, all the Magic players on the court were stunned, and even the head coach of the Magic team, Brian Hill, on the sidelines, was already trembling in shock.

The Jazz are playing a block and tear down?! Malone and Stockton are starting to work together?!

The Magic players on the court and Brian Hill on the sidelines were almost all stunned after such a question, they had thought of a lot of ways to deal with the second half at halftime, but they didn't think that the Jazz's Malone and Stockton would work together again!

Even when the Jazz fans at the scene lost their minds for a short time, the cheers instantly brought to the top. While the audience was chanting the names of Stockton and Malone, even Larry Bird and Collins on the sidelines were still a little incredulous.

"Larry, it looks like the Jazz just got a lot going on in the locker room."

At this time, Collins shook his head with a wry smile after glancing at Larry Bird.

Because both of them know. After the blocking and pick-and-roll tactics of Stockton and Malone, who were the biggest hits of the Magic, the Magic had almost no hope of winning this game, especially when Lin Han was still standing on one side at this time.

So at this time, Hardaway, the Magic's rookie on the court, and O'Neal, the team's boss, were both a little gritted their teeth after coming to their senses, although the game was not over. But his face was full of unwillingness.

And when the second half of this game started. As many people expected, the Magic team quickly fell to the disadvantage, and the Jazz even directly controlled the general trend of the game, although the Jazz still no one could withstand O'Neal, but O'Neal's offense alone could not stop the Jazz at all, especially when Malone felt very good after the second half.

And what people didn't expect was that the Magic team started the second half maybe worse than everyone expected.

Because after Stockton and Malone cooperated, even Lin Han defended one-on-one. But Lin Han is still able to complete the kind of behind-the-back smashing pass to Ma Long many times, although the difficulty of the pass has increased a lot. There is no longer anyone watching between Lin Han and Ma Long, but as a player defending Ma Long, Turner has almost no way to face Lin Han's almost unpredictable pass, although because of the increased difficulty of passing, the degree and angle of this pass have become faster and more difficult to catch, and the error rate has also risen rapidly.

But obviously, as far as this game is concerned, when Lin Han and Stockton are looking for Malone to pass the ball for the team, such a mistake rate can almost be ignored, and no one cares that Lin Han made a few mistakes for this kind of pass, because every time Lin Han passes this kind of ball, the morale of the Jazz players and Jazz fans on the scene will be greatly shocked, after all, this kind of passing is more exciting than Stockton's more simple blocking pass.

So, when the second half of this game began, the Magic almost had a feeling of collapse in the face of the constant interaction between Lin Han, Malone and Starks.

"Beautiful, it's so beautiful, although the cooperation between Lin Han, Stockton and Malone is still a little rusty, Lin Han has a big problem with the choice of position in the attack, and he often makes mistakes in tactical running, but when these three people start to constantly try to find each other, the magic with extremely weak interior defense ability is about to collapse!"

The Magic team was a bit of a meltdown, and almost everyone could see it, especially when the Jazz trio kept looking for each other in the second half, especially when Lynham and Stockton were both making balls for Malone, and this game was a nightmare for O'Neal for the Magic's interior line.

And when the game ended, when the scoreboard on the side of the field showed that the score was 98-116, the entire second half of the Magic team completely lost itself in the rhythm of the Jazz, and the Magic, who was only three points behind at halftime, actually lost by 18 points directly after the end of the game!

And when the game ended, even the Magic's on-court player, O'Neal, who has always been very outgoing, could hardly see the slightest smile on his face, and the head coach of the Magic team on the sidelines, Brian Hill, who was extremely optimistic about the team's future, was even more stunned and completely overwhelmed.

O'Neal and Hill are like this, and the other Magic players are naturally not much better, and even when the game whistle blows, some Magic players even feel relieved.

"The Magic are still too young, and when they have problems, it's easy to collapse, so they have two young people, O'Neal and Hardaway, but they still need to grow, at least relative to the Jazz."

When the game ended, looking at the other magic players such as O'Neal and Hardaway who had almost completely lost their color on the field, Larry Bird also sighed and said, in addition to Lin Han, the two young players he is most optimistic about are O'Neal and Hardaway, these two are likely to create an era, but this era is definitely not now.

Because the current era still belongs to teams such as the Rockets, Bulls or Jazz!

When Larry Bird looked at the Jazz players celebrating together on the court and the young Jazz No. 8, he thought to himself.

Of course, at this time, the Jazz players naturally did not think that Larry Bird would have such an evaluation of them, after winning this game, these Jazz players are now very excited, to be able to defeat the Magic in this situation, it is indeed very rare, and many of the team's contradictions have been resolved.

"Lin, thank you!"

Therefore, when the game was over, Malone, who scored 46 points on 18-of-24 shooting in the game, and after accepting a live TV interview, under the surprised eyes of all the fans and players on the scene, the leading player of the Jazz team directly gave Lin Han a big hug.

And when Lin Han was stunned, the Jazz fans and Jazz players on the side who had come back to their senses at this time had all applauded.

"Carl, I should thank you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to get three pairs"

At the moment when he was hugged by Ma Long, Lin Han, who was temporarily distracted, quickly reacted, and after pushing Ma Long away, he also said with a smile after Ma Long's chest was hammered hard.

In this game, Ma Long's table is very good, but Lin Han's table is also not bad, although the score is not as good as Ma Long, but in this game Lin Han played the first triple-double of his career.

Lin Han scored 31 points, 11 assists and 1O rebounds on 13-of-21 shooting in the game, and Lin Han also delivered 5 turnovers in this game, most of which were obtained by Lin Han's forced brush assist to Malone in the second half.

"That said, but I still want to thank you"

Although Lin Han said jokingly, the jazz players on the sidelines were happy, but Malone still looked at Lin Han with a serious face and said, which made Lin Han also smile and shake his head.

"Okay, don't thank each other"

Looking at Lin Han and Malone at this time, Stockton on the side directly pushed the two away, and then walked directly off the court with the other Jazz players as soon as he hugged Lin Han.

It's just that just after Lin Han was hugged off the court by Stockton, after Stockton let Lin Han go, Stockton's soft whisper made Lin Han stunned again.

Thank you, Lin

After saying this, Stockton looked at Lin Han, who was a little stunned, and turned around and left with a smile, and at this time, Lin Han looked at Stockton's back and had a somewhat complicated mood. (To be continued......)
