"Hahaha, boss, we won, we finally won this game, hahaha"

"Finals, finals, finals, here we come!"

"Lin, you're doing a great job, you know what?!"

On June 3, 1994, on the court of the Compaq Center in Houston, the Jazz players lied wantonly after the game, if it weren't for the fans on the sidelines who were still stunned and a little sluggish at this time and didn't know what to do, the atmosphere on the sidelines was extremely quiet, then I'm afraid many people would think that the Jazz were playing on their home court!

At this time, this group of Jazz players is so excited, really excited, such a victory in a game can be said to have laid a lot of things, which can be seen from the Rockets players at this time, the Rockets head coach Tomjanovic on the sidelines stood on the sidelines with stunned eyes, still can't believe that this game was lost, and similarly, the substitute players of the Rockets on the sidelines were also stunned at this time, As for Kenny Smith, who had just shot a three-point shot in the open position, he was already lying on the court directly at this time, as a rookie, Cassel was already squatting on the ground at this time, covering his face with his left hand, and his right hand was constantly stroking the floor of the court, and Robert Hawley, if it wasn't for Olajuwon's help defense in this series, the young forward, who was almost blown out of the game, was sitting on the ground with a blank face at this time, And sitting next to him was Maxwell, who was just as dazed as he was.

The other players of the Jazz team were very excited, and even Lin Han's two younger brothers were already running all over the court excitedly at this time, even Malone and Stockton were excited at this time and would come over and touch Lin Han's head during the probationary period that kept roaring in the stands around them.

And unlike these Jazz players, although Lin Han was excited at this time, although excited. But he didn't wantonly ravage this arena that had been beaten by him and cried, maybe at this time Lin Han's physical fitness was indeed overdrawn, and at this time, if Olajuwon had to use the basket to be able to stand firm. Then Lin Han is also a little better, but even if it is a little better, it is limited. He could clearly feel his legs shaking now!

Of course, I don't want to celebrate wantonly in this stadium where I was beaten and already cried, not only because Lin Han's current physical condition is really not suitable for this kind of thing, but also because although Lin Han doesn't like this team, he doesn't like the players of this team, and even he and Olajuwon and Drexler are still mortal enemies, but for this game. Lin Han is willing to give his two sworn enemies some basic respect, just like at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Drexler gave up his superstar dignity and sacrificed himself to use foul tactics against Lin Han for the victory of the team, which made the black-hearted Stockton and the invincible Malone and the fiery and wanton Lin Han directly shocked at that time, because in the eyes of these three Jazz superstars, they could not do such a thing anyway, sacrifice for the team, every NBA player has such an awareness. But how much to sacrifice, this can be worth considering, at least for these three people. If for the sake of the team's victory, sacrifice yourself to that Cheng dù, almost directly self-destructive Cheng dù, then it is really difficult for them to do it, although at that time Drexler interrupted the Jazz's fast break and constantly fouled Lin Han, but the Jazz players on the court did not think that Drexler was provoking, and any player doing this kind of thing on the court would not be considered a provocation, if Lin Han Hao Malone went to Olajuwon in a form of self-destruction. The same is true.

And after that, the Rockets were on the rise. In the duel with Olajuwon, Lin Han did not think that he had defeated Olajuwon. Maybe it was defeated, but there were two Maddie moments in a game, it's not that Lin Han couldn't solve the problem with a Maddie moment in this game, although the number of fouls was not reached, Lin Han was also able to brush the fouls and send the Rockets players to the free throw line, but in the last two minutes of this game, if the Jazz sideline ball, when Lin Han hit a three-point shot, Collins didn't think of Lin Han's miracle moment, the Rockets couldn't have imagined, when the time came, As long as the game enters a dead ball state Lin Han has no chance to connect the ball, the sideline ball means that Lin Han is very willing to be surrounded by three or more people, this Rockets' watch at the last moment did give Lin Han enough pressure, the pressure was so great that Lin Han was already a little unconfident that he could solve the problem with a Maddie moment, as for Olajuwon, if it wasn't for the last moment, if it wasn't for the last moment, Tomjanovic was a little cowardly and couldn't believe him, How this game will play out, even Lin Han doesn't know.

Lin Han won this game, Jazz won, but it was really hard to win!

Therefore, at this time, looking at Olajuwon, who was leaning under the basket and looking up a little lonely, he didn't know what he was thinking, Lin Han shook his head with a sigh, maybe the Rockets lost, but he definitely couldn't say that he lost the game.

"Lin, what are you staying at, gone"

When Lin Han looked at Olaju a little stunned, Olajuwon didn't notice this, or even if he noticed this, he didn't know what kind of mood to face Lin Han, but after the other players of the Jazz team celebrated wantonly, they finally realized that this was not their home stadium, so in the boos of the Rockets fans who came back to their senses, these Jazz players also all laughed and walked off the court with Lin Han.

The Rockets and the Jazz lost the fourth game of the Western Conference Finals, although the fourth game is not the battle of Tianwang Mountain, but for this round of the series, the fourth game is definitely the most important game of the series, both teams are trying their best to put all their energy on this game, in this case, the outcome of this game will determine a lot of things, which is why many experts believe that the Rockets won this game, so the Rockets can drag the game to the seventh game, and finally the Rockets can fight back against the Jazz, And there are also many people who think that if the Jazz win this game, then the series will be up to five games, and the next game will go back to the Jazz's home court. The Rockets don't have any chance of winning.

And from the crazy Cheng dù of this game, especially after this game, the condition of the Rockets players and the condition of the Jazz players can be compared. Not to mention Rockets fans, I'm afraid even the head coach of the Rockets, Tomjanovich, doesn't think his team will be able to beat the Jazz in the next game!

'Both teams played well today. Really good, the Jazz played their best offensive and defensive form in this series, and so did we, so it was a very tough game, both teams had chances to win, both teams had a chance to kill the game, but in the end we lost, and this loss hit us really hard. I'll take responsibility for this game, our players have done their best."

At the press conference after the game, Tomjanovic, as the head coach of the losing side of the game, completely did not pretend to be crazy and stupid for a while, but at this time, his expression was also a little strangely calm, no anger and no dissatisfaction, which even surprised Jerry Sloan on the side.

"Rudy, can you talk about that timeout at the end of the fourth quarter?"

However, after the reporter at the scene asked this question, the originally extremely calm Rockets head coach could clearly see the flash of anger and unwillingness, but soon the head coach of the Rockets suppressed such feelings.

"I admit it was a bad timeout. I miscalculated the shape on the field, and I ended up a little flustered, which is my problem. It has nothing to do with Kenny and other heat."

Miscalculated the shape on the court, and when Tomjanovich said this answer with great sincerity and calmness, no one laughed at him, and no one continued to ask him about Kenny Smith, because everyone knew that that timeout was indeed a miscalculation of the shape, and when Lin Han and Olajuwon were killed, not only the Rockets players were already a little embarrassed, but even the Jazz side was about the same. And those players also include Limham and Olajuwon, when Olajuwon scored two points each time. Lin Han hit back with three points, how will Olajuwon feel? And when Lin Han hit back with a three-pointer each time. But the score will always be reversed by Olajuwon again, what kind of feeling will Lin Han have? Once or twice is fine, what if four or five times, or even five or six times? In such a situation, the players on the field, whether it is Lin Han or Olajuwon, are recognized as no longer the strength and will to support this game, but a kind of instinct and inertia, instinctively think that their goal must be scored, and their bodies and brains are no longer the player's consciousness in control, but the player's inertia of the previous duels, in this case, Tomjanovic mistakenly believes that Olajuwon's body is in condition, in fact, Olajuwon's body is indeed in condition, But this does not mean that Olajuwon can't complete the attack, when Tomjanovic really paused, interrupting the inertia of Olajuwon's kind of game, Olajuwon really can't complete the attack, as for Kenny Smith's three-no-stick, a player who has almost collapsed because of a mistake by the manager chose to execute the last attack, of course, the head coach is most responsible.

Since Tomjanovic has taken responsibility for himself, then they have nothing to ask, and in the eyes of many reporters, Kenny Smith should actually be more sympathetic, or that all the players on the field in this game except for Lin Han and Olajuwon should be sympathetic, too miserable, too miserable, when Lin Han and Olajuwon played this state in this game, the others were really miserable.

Of course, at this time, they do not bear to hack those players anymore, but what will happen after the newspaper comes out tomorrow, then I don't know, sympathy is limited after all, compared with sales, such sympathy can be ignored.

Of course, since Tomjanovic has taken all the responsibility on himself, these reporters just let him go without asking, but as the head coach of the Jazz team on the winning side of this game, he can't let it go, especially at this time, Jerry Sloan's excited and excited face is really visible to everyone.

It seems that the head coach of the Jazz team not only won a Western Conference Finals, but more like winning a series, and in fact, if Jerry Sloan really arrogantly said that he won this series at this time, then I am afraid that not many people will refute him now, because this is already a fact in the minds of many people!

It's just that. Although Jerry Sloan really wanted to be so arrogant in his heart, after all, he was a cautious guy for decades, and he really couldn't shout such words as 'I'm already thinking about the next round of opponents'. Even if the Rockets seem to have collapsed at this time, even Tomjanovic is no longer angry and unwilling to lose his team at this time. That means the head coach of the Rockets can't find a reason for the team to beat the Jazz.

Therefore, seeing Jerry Sloan, who is still extremely cautious in answering questions at this time, these reporters are also very speechless, and even some people have already despised Jerry in their hearts what 'deserves not to be popular', although Barkley's big-mouthed and arrogant personality is indeed easy to cause some disputes, but this is also the reason why these reporters like him, and it is also the reason why his popularity is higher than that of other interior players. Like this Jazz led by Jerry Sloan, with this guy's character, if it weren't for the shit luck of a first-class talent like Lin Han this season, no one would pay attention to them no matter how many superstars they have, because it was too boring.

"One last question, Jerry, can you tell me about the Jazz's timeout at the end of the fourth quarter?"

Unlike Tomjanovic who called a terrible timeout, Jerry Slon's last-minute timeout in the fourth quarter was full of Olajuwon after the timeout. and letting Lin Han go it alone, which is considered the most critical factor for the Jazz to win this game, if Jerry Sloan still chooses to be conservative and wait for Olajuwon to run out of money in that period. With Olajuwon's state in this game, the Jazz are on their knees!

However, at that time, it was indeed risky to choose such a timeout in that time period, if Lin Han missed the offense after the timeout, the Jazz would also lose, and similarly, if Lin Han's offensive state was not as good as Olajuwon. If Lin Han's three-point shooting is not 5 of 5 in the end, I'm afraid the Jazz will also die miserably. So, it's a gamble. It was a very risky timeout, but judging by the results of the game, Jerry Sloan won the bet.

Therefore, when these reporters asked this question, the smile on Jerry Sloan's face, which had always been extremely cautious, became even stronger at this time.

"I believe in my players and I believe that as long as my players play in the way they are most familiar with, the result will always be good"

When Jerry Sloan got up and left with a smile after saying this answer, these reporters were also stunned by this answer, Jerry Sloan did not talk about the success of the tactics as they expected, but directly pushed a qiē to his own players, is this guy still the Jerry Sloan they are familiar with?

Jerry's caution just now is quite familiar, but the answer to this question makes them a little familiar, such as the guy from the Bulls, what I like to say most is that I believe in my players, as long as they play comfortably, no one can beat us, and at this time, Jerry Sloan, who is the representative of the league's coaching industry's 'Wenqing', actually began to play this set?!

Of course, this time is no longer so' Wenqing's Jerry Sloan shocked all American reporters, but fortunately, their receptivity is indeed strong enough, Jerry Sloan's style change is not unacceptable, and even if Jerry Sloan's style changes, he is not the protagonist, the protagonist of the NBA is destined to be a player, and the protagonist of this game is also a player, Lin Han and Olajuwon, but it is very regrettable for these reporters that neither Olajuwon nor Lin Han did not accept post-game interviews in this game.

According to the explanation of the two teams, both of them have collapsed after the game and are being treated by the team doctor, so they are not suitable for interviews.

For such an explanation, these media reporters can actually accept it, because it would be really strange if Lin Han and Olajuwon's appearance in this game was not prostration.

Because the two of them all had 55 points and 13 rebounds in this game, but there are some differences that Olajuwon almost hit a triple-double of 5o+1o and handed out 7 assists, while Lin Han only had 2 assists in this game, and the other blocks and steals were similar.

Even in the regular season, a player hitting such a number is enough, let alone in the playoffs, and Lin Han and Olajuwon are both the most closely guarded players by their opponents, not to mention the consumption of that kind of game.

Of course, for this match, even at this time, Olajuwon and Lin Han did not give interviews. The content of the match also does not have these reporters worried about the next day's coverage, which has nothing to write about.

"55+13 and 55+13! The scariest playoff matchup in NBA history, Lin Han defeated Olajuwon to win the legendary matchup! ”

"Incredible players, incredible game. Both Limhan and Olajuwon played an epic game, and it was the best playoff game of the season. It is also one of the most exciting Western Conference Finals in NBA history, and Lin Han and Olajuwon have completed the transformation from superstars to quasi-stars in this game, because in this game they let everyone see that they are different from other players! ”

"When Larry Bird proposed that Lin Han was ready to challenge Jordan some time ago, he encountered a lot of criticism, and now, I think such a controversy is completely gone, Lin Han is out of everyone's expectations, he deserves such a status!"

This was the headline on the front page of USA Today's basketball page the next day after the game. As the No. 1 Lin Mi media in the United States, this media unabashedly expressed its support for Lin Han, not only expressing its support, but also beginning to affirm the fact that Lin Han was defeated by Larry Bird and said that he was the quasi-king of the ball some time ago.

Although there are many slots in this statement of the United States today, at least Lin Han and Olajuwon have surpassed other NBA superstars, and I am afraid that many people disagree with this statement, such as David Robinson, what is 5O+1O? This season, he faced the Warriors' playoffs, and he also brushed up such numbers against the weak Warriors, and even in the regular season, in the last game, in order to be able to press O'Neal on the scoring list. In order to keep his position as the center of the second team, David Robinson also scored 7o points in a single game in the regular season. He even brushed up on a quadruple-double in the regular season. Will Lin Han be able to brush it out? Although he doesn't want to admit it, David Robinson can admit that Lin Han is a superstar at the same level as him, and so is Olajuwon, but to say that these two people are one level higher than him, I don't believe it if he kills him, especially Lin Han, if there is one of his teammates, Malone and Stockton, he can also beat the Rockets, and it doesn't have to be so difficult.

It's just at this time. Although there are many slots in the USA Today statement, no one will care. Because at this time, almost everyone was shocked by this game between the Jazz and the Rockets, not to mention these media and experts. Even the entire NBA fan base.

On the second day of this game, almost the entire basketball fans in the United States were discussing this game, Lin Han and Olajuwon both had 55 points and 13 rebounds in a single game, and Olajuwon even almost completed a 5o+ triple-double in the playoffs in the end, this great feat that no one has accomplished, in this case, the impact of this game is conceivable.

"Lin Han is so good, he is the best rookie in NBA history, even better than Chamberlain's rookie season, he will be a ball king in the future, I absolutely believe that he can be a ball king in the future! He, along with Carl and John, will be our three greatest players in Utah, and we're ready to think about the Grand Finals now! ”

"Lin Han and Olajuwon are half a grade higher than other NBA players, I didn't believe it before, but now, after this game, I believe it, they are really amazing, I want to believe that in America Today, they are the strongest now!"

"It's just that it's a little regrettable that one of the two of them is destined to fall in the Western Conference finals, it's really a pity, why is one of Lin Han or Olajuwon not in the East, the Knicks are really shit?!"

"Bastard, what does this game have to do with the Knicks! Lin Han and Olajuwon are indeed strong, but this year's championship must be our New York, and Madison Square will be Lin Han's grave! ”

"Madison is Lynham's grave? See the sneakers I'm wearing? Where do you get your confidence? ”

When the Jazz's famous singles king Dantley and Knicks legend Reed were in the ABNeba again the next day, Lin Mi and Lin Hei fans basically represented the opinion of NBA fans across the United States at this time.

For Lin Han and Jazz fans, the victory in this game and Lin Han's performance almost made them forget the weakness of Jordan when he said that he would accept Lin Han's challenge, and some of the same neutral or Rockets fans regret that Lin Han and Olajuwon can only have one person enter the Finals, because these two are better than the players and teams of all teams in the East, and they should meet in the Finals, of course, such a view is naturally impossible to be accepted by Knicks fans. Although they are now tied 2-2 by the Pacers, it looks like they still believe they will represent the East.

Of course, after the fourth game between the Jazz and the Rockets, almost the entire NBA was discussing Lin Han and Olajuwon, especially Lin Han, because in the entire history of the NBA, there has never been a player who has risen so quickly like Lin Han, and even the magician who won the Finals MVP in his rookie season may not be so strong!

And the same, what is a little strange is that although the whole United States is talking about the Jazz and the Rockets, Lin Han and Olajuwon at this time, but not many people are talking about the fifth game of the two teams, and even the fans of the Rockets rarely mention the fifth game deliberately.

"For a neutral fan, everyone knows what the Jazz and Rockets Game 5 will be, maybe in many people's minds, this series can stop here, but this is the NBA, someone needs to accept defeat, there is no zài win-win here!"

When Larry Bird said this in the commentary booth as a Linham fan before the Jazz and the Rockets started the game in Game 5, this passage basically represented the hearts of many people, because almost everyone could see what the Jazz would have to do against the Rockets in Game 5 of this game.

Especially when the Jazz defeated the Rockets 98-79 at home in Game 5 on June 5, these people felt even more deeply, the outcome of this game was predictable, for most of the Rockets players who had lost confidence, this game was a torture, and for Olajuwon, who was overdrawn in the last game, those who sympathized with him saw his extremely helpless side, Although he scored 38 points and 16 rebounds on 14-of-31 shooting in this game, he was already trying his best to save the defeat, but seeing the Rockets' outside players shooting 2-of-15 three-pointers, even if he wanted to save the defeat, he was a little powerless, especially when the Jazz were trying their best to pinch him.

Of course, Olajuwon, who was a little overdrawn in this game, almost played 3O+2O, which made Lin Han extremely surprised, because after the last game, in order to recover his state in the system space, Lin Han was stunned for 2 days of rest, plus two days in the real world, Lin Han took a total of 4 days of rest to ease up, in this case, this game is still locked up on the defensive end of Drexler and intimidated those outside players of the Rockets, Lin Han can actually do not so much, especially now his character is only more than 2o%, even more so, in this game Lin Han only scored 25 points, 16 rebounds, 5 steals and 3 blocks on 9 of 21 shots, a little inferior to Olajuwon, and Malone played extremely well in this game, after all, it is really difficult for Olajuwon to take care of this game in terms of assisting defense, after exploding Robert Hawley, Malone has no one to restrain at all, 16 of 28, With 4o points and 12 rebounds in a single game, this is the best game of the playoffs this season for the regular season MVP, and certainly the most enjoyable game.

Because he really suppressed Lin Han on the number and table in this game, but what made Malone a little depressed was that the day after the game, the front page headlines in the national media newspapers about the Jazz's 4-1 defeat of the Rockets to reach the finals were all headlines.

"The scariest duo in NBA history?! Nix? Pedestrian? Trembling?! (To be continued)
