Chapter 216: The Most Deceitful Passing Skill
(Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription)
"I reiterate once again, there are no problems in our team, there are no so-called infighting or contradictions as you imagined, and now we are still a very united team, so all your guesses are unfounded"
'Carl had a good game, when he came back to the dressing room, he did all of us apologize, he did something stupid on the pitch and it hurt the team, but we believe it wasn't what he intended, he didn't think to do that, he's not a dirty player'
"Why don't I pass the ball to Karl? I'm sorry, but I'm the playmaker and I can choose to pass the ball to any player on the team who has the opportunity to do it, and that has nothing to do with what Carl does on the court, he's a great leader and he knows what he should do."
When the Jazz lost to the Pacers on March 18, the day after the game, it almost caused an uproar in the whole United States, you know, the Jazz team is coming to an end with the regular season, that is the absolute focus of everyone, and now everyone is talking about the NBA No one can skip the Jazz, in this case, when everyone is expecting the Jazz to set many records in the regular season this season, how many awards to win, at this time this team actually gave birth to such a thing, Isn't that enough of an uproar and incredible?
Although the Jazz, both Stockton and Jerry Sloan said in the post-game press conference that the team has no problems. But in fact, who would believe that?
When the game between the Jazz and the Pacers was over, he elbowed Davis for a retaliatory elbow on the court. Karl Malone was fined $10,000 after the game and banned for one game, this is not the first time Malone has received such a punishment, in the first two seasons, Malone also suffered such a punishment in order to elbow Stockton to Isaiah Thomas, but can that elbow be compared to this elbow? The last time Malone elbowed Thomas, although many people also blamed Malone. But everyone knows that it was Thomas who did not do it properly, because the loss of the Dream Team was forgotten once at his own Pistons home court. There is no need to go to the Jazz's home court and abuse Stockton, in that case, Malone directly chose to leave the game with Thomas in order to protect his good friends, although this behavior is not right. But the motivation is worth affirming.
And this time. Malone's behavior and motives are very questionable, because no one can see why he did that, so there is only one final reason, Malone's dissatisfaction with some people in the team, and who is he dissatisfied? As long as anyone who watched the game knows, it is naturally Stockton who did not pass the ball to him throughout the game.
After all, no one is stupid, even if Stockton and Jerry Sloan have repeatedly reiterated that there is nothing wrong with the team, anyone with a little intelligence will not believe it.
And what makes these people even more convinced. After the league's punishment came out, Karl Malone, the big man of the Jazz team, did not follow the Jazz to Charlotte to play back-to-back away games after the game with the Pacers. The Jazz's leading player actually flew back to Salt Lake City directly from Indianapolis, you know, although Malone was banned for elbowing, but the Jazz are not only the Hornets left on this Eastern road trip, in addition to the back-to-back Hornets on March 19, there is also the Hawks away on March 21, Malone really can't play when he plays the Hornets, but he can definitely play the Hawks, and the Hawks are now the No. 1 team in the Eastern regular season, Although the team traded Dominic Wilkins, but after Dominique Wilkins left, the team's record did not say any impact, and the current record is still 45-19, which is very good, and the strength is much stronger than the Pacers and Cavaliers.
In this case, Malone actually chose to leave the team and return to Salt Lake City, how could this behavior be normal.
And what makes every media even more crazy is that Lin Han, who has always liked to tease them during interviews, actually refused the interview directly after the game with the Pacers, whether it was the post-game press conference or the locker room interview Lin Han refused all of them, it can be seen that the Jazz's new leader seems to be very resistant to attending the press conference with Stockton.
So, under the hint of this series of circumstantial evidence, there is no need for Stockton or Jerry Sloan to admit that it is enough for these uncrowned kings.
"Ten years of partners falling apart? Malone is dissatisfied with Stockton, and the Jazz are infighting! ”
"Stockton's ball dominance attribute is off the charts, and Karl Malone can't bear it!"
"For the sake of MVP, Stockton made frequent tricks, and Malone was forced to fight back?"
"The Jazz infighting is getting more and more intense, and the rookie Lin Han acquiesces to the rumors"
Therefore, when the Jazz left Indianapolis and came to Charlotte, the NBA's public opinion circle was almost crazy, not only the media was frantically speculating about what happened to the Jazz, why Malone and Stockton, two partners with such a good relationship, had such a problem.
This kind of almost impossible thing to live in the last life is indeed eye-catching enough, of course, for most people's eyes, the life problem that can make Malone and Stockton have such a relationship, except for the MVP thing that everyone has been hyping up recently, I'm afraid there is nothing else.
You know, although Lin Han's MVP rankings have always been ranked second by the NBA official, but for most media experts, Lin Han has never been the real No. 2 candidate, and the two strongest contenders for MVP in the regular season this year have always been Stockton and Ma Long, these two are Jazz metronomes and the other are Jazz cornerstones, in this case, when Stockton has been more and more affirmed in recent times, Stockton's pressure on Malone is naturally increasing. Similarly, when Stockton saw that he could win the MVP over Mallon, even two people with a good relationship could turn against each other for this honor, which is not impossible.
Under this speculation. Malone, who had done a very irrational and stupid thing, was sympathized with by many people, and Stockton, who cut off the pass to Malone on the court, became a 'sinister villain', and such an exhibition was almost as unexpected as everyone expected.
Although it is said that Ma Long's incident was born very suddenly, which was unexpected by the Jazz team, but at this time, although the Jazz were affected, it was impossible to put all their energy on Ma Long's matter, after all, this Jazz road trip was not a simple road trip. The three opponents, whether they are the Pacers or the Hornets or the Hawks, are all very strong teams, and the Pacers needless to say, the Jazz have already lost. And the Hornets, although this team is currently only eighth in the East, but that is because the team's aunt Larry Johnson has been absent for a long time due to injury, and it has always been led by Mourning and Boggs. And mom Johnson is now back. In this case, the strength of the Hornets can not be compared with the past, after all, Mourning and Johnson are both able to average 2O+1O per game, especially Mourning, this season because of a sudden injury to the All-Star, the position of the All-Star substitute was replaced by Oakley of the New York Knicks, after the recent comeback, the Hornets' leading player is in very good shape.
And this center who can average more than 3 blocks per game this season is also one of the few interior players that Lin Han is very afraid of in the NBA. So, don't say this game is a Jazz without Malone. Even with the Jazz with Malone, this team is very difficult to play.
Of course, because Malone was banned from this game, facing the Hornets who are now finally in a complete lineup, and the Hornets who are desperate to impact the playoffs, the Jazz's victory was considered a little small before the game.
So this game is also a very challenging game for Lin Han, but before this game started, it was not all bad things for Lin Han, for example, before the game, Lin Han saw Curry Jr. again, and Curry Jr. also came to the scene to cheer for his father Dale Curry.
Of course, according to Curry Jr., when Lin Han was warming up before the game, he ran to Lin Han's side and said that he would also cheer for Lin Han in this game, and it seems that Curry Jr. is already a little bit about to 'defect'.
"Lin, I heard that your team is not very good recently, are you okay now?"
During the pre-game warm-up, as one of the few players who was a friend of Lin Han in the NBA, Dell Curry seemed to want to comfort Lin Han, the current Hornets player is also a former Jazz player, Dell Curry was a rookie who was drafted by the Jazz in 1986, but at that time the Jazz did not have his place, and left the team after a year off the bench with the Jazz.
However, this does not mean that Dell Curry is not familiar with this Jazz, you must know that when Dell Curry played for the Jazz, Stockton was still playing on the bench like him, and Malone was just the rookie boss who was promoted by the team after trading the singles king Dantley, and he still knows a lot about the two Jazz's current leading players.
"In short, it's best for you not to get involved in the problems between Stockton and Malone, the relationship between these two is definitely not as simple as you think"
Although Lin Han said that his current situation is very good, in the end, Dell Curry still emphasized to Lin Han again with a serious face, and Lin Han also nodded at Dell Curry's reminder.
In this game with the Hornets, the Jazz team is missing Malone, so the Jazz lineup in this game is center Polinis, big forward PJ Brown, forward Elliott, scoring guard Linhan, and organization guard Stockton, because of the lack of an absolute offensive strength, in order to maintain offensive firepower, Elliott was raised, although Elliott's offense is very good, but after all, he is an outside player, and it is difficult to replace Malone's offensive firepower on the inside, so as far as this lineup is concerned, The Jazz are very vulnerable in terms of offensive power.
If Lin Han is stared at by the Hornets, this Jazz may not even be able to score, and with the defensive strength of the Hornets, this team has the ability to limit Lin Han, after all, although Mourning's deterrence is a little worse than that of Olajuwon and Ewing, it is definitely not too bad. If O'Neal weren't so good, it wouldn't have been clear who the league's fourth center would be.
Although the head coach of the Hornets, Alan Bristol, is a 43-year-old NBA rookie coach, as long as he is not a. can see where the problems of the Jazz team are in this game, so as soon as this game comes up, the Hornets' style of play is very simple, Lin Han directly sent the team's scoring guard Hawkins to defend when he was without the ball, although Hawkins is not tall, but the Barkley is an All-Star player when he was in the 76ers, and he can average 22 points per game and can send a guard who averages 2 steals per game, The career-high number of steals was nine steals in a single game against the Celtics led by Larry Bird. In 1991, at the age of 25, he finished with a quasi-quadruple-double of 38 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 9 steals against the Celtics, and Celtics guard Brian Shaw was almost killed by him in that game.
It can be said that although the All-Star guard is a hard injury compared to Lin Han in terms of height, he is very strong in other aspects, whether it is strength, degree or stealing ability. If Lin Han can't open up his touch on the outside in this game and use his height to shoot him, it is actually very difficult to get rid of this guy, even if he really gets rid of this guy. The Hornets set up heavy troops for Lin Han in this game. When Lin Han has no ball, Hawkins sticks to it, after Lin Han holds the ball, soon another player, David Wingate, will come up directly to attack, if Lin Han can still break through the encirclement and go to the basket to challenge Mourning one-on-one, then the Hornets also admit it, if Lin Han can really play such a game, it can only be regarded as Lin Han's strength.
Because of the absence of Ma Long, the Hornets' behavior of focusing all their defensive energy on Lin Han made Lin Han's swing extremely limited at the beginning of this game.
In addition, this game Stockton is still the same as the last game. Lin Han didn't have a chance to attack with the ball, and wanted to play brainless singles by himself. That is impossible, and in such a situation, this is even worse for Lin Han.
Although Jerry Sloan and Stockton both knew that it was not so good to restrict Lin Han's swing like this, these two seemed to be iron-hearted, even if Malone fell out with them, they didn't have any intention of changing.
According to the meaning of these two, since Lin Han and Ma Long are unable to change their playing styles independently, they can only forcibly help these two wayward players to change.
Of course, I have to say that after the other players of the Jazz team played in Stockton in the last game, the other role players of the Jazz adapted quickly in this game, and there was no longer that kind of helplessness, especially as long as there was an opportunity Stockton's pass arrived, although this kind of passing and sharing made Lin Han very unhappy, but for other Jazz players, it was a real blessing.
In this case, although Lin Han still lacks a strong offense in this game, the Jazz's offense is very layered and integral, plus Lin Han has attracted a lot of defensive energy from the Hornets, which leads to minimal defensive pressure on these Jazz players, so as the game progresses, the former Pistons All-Star small forward Elliott, who has been struggling since coming to the team, is really alive in this game, and this offensive player is very comprehensive after Stockton changed the way he passes. This game was played with the same enthusiasm as the other Jazz players.
It is precisely because of this that although Lin Han struggled very hard in this game, the other players of the Jazz played very well, and the head coach of the Hornets, Bristol, who originally thought that if he blocked Lin Han, he would be able to block the Jazz in this game, was really a little confused at this time.
The young NBA coach didn't adjust the team even after halftime, I have to say that the head coach of the Hornets underestimated Stockton like many people before, the Jazz's leading guard is really not strong in his ability to attack independently, but he is definitely no longer a functional point guard who can only play blocking and pick-and-roll, otherwise those experts outside who understand the ball will not think that Stockton can compete with Malone for the regular season MVP after completing his transformation this season.
With Stockton's selfless passing and organization, as well as the wonderful swings of Jazz role players, it was a very difficult game against Jazz, and the Jazz finally defeated the Hornets 99-91 on the road, and in this game, Lin Han only had 19 shots in the whole game, and scored 25 points in 9 of 19, although Lin Han's scoring and shooting were not very many. But the rest of the Jazz players played a rare game, and in this game, in addition to Limhan's 25 points, Elliott scored 22 points. Even PJ Brown and Polines both had 12 and 11 points respectively, and with Stockton's own 12 points, the Jazz all five scored in double figures, which was unthinkable before.
Especially in the previous period, when Lin Han and Malone brushed up, the other players of the Jazz team basically did not score double-doubles, and Lin Han and Malone accounted for more than 65% of the team's scores. It's hard for other players to touch the ball, and even an All-Star like Elliott has to defend me.
In such a situation, it has to be said. Although the Jazz have been winning, and Lin Han and Malone are very beautiful, the fighting spirit and enthusiasm of other Jazz players have actually been declining, although some experts and experts in the United States are very annoying. But these people are not all good for nothing. Many of their views are very practical reference value, for example, one of them is that when a player is unable to touch the ball on the offensive end for a long time on the court, then the player's motivation on the defensive end will also decrease, which has nothing to do with whether the player has offensive ability or not.
It is clear that Stockton and Jerry Sloan have won the game, and the fact that the motivation of the other players is declining is rapidly as the number of Lin Han and Malone is getting higher and higher. That forced them to make adjustments, even if Stockton had to take the risk of falling out with Malone.
Of course. The team was able to beat the Hornets away from home, although Lin Han didn't play very well, Lin Han also admitted it, after all, the team won, which is more important than anything else.
It's just that although the Jazz can beat the Hornets, the Hornets are only the eighth team in the East after all, and they are much worse in terms of coaching ability and player integrity, and the game against the Hawks on March 21 is not so simple.
The head coach of the Hawks, Wilkens, is one of the most authoritative and powerful head coaches in the league, and the head coach of the Dream Three team approached Lin Han before the Jazz and Hawks game began.
Although the formation of the Dream Three team is still more than a year away, almost everyone in the United States is very concerned about the Olympic Games held in Atlanta in the United States two years later, and the preparation of the Dream Three team is also very early, and even some fans have appealed to hope that Jordan can make a comeback in the Dream Three team, so that Jordan can have face, and the media that are opposed to Jordan can also accept it, after all, playing for the country does not matter whether the character is good or bad.
So although it's still early, how Wilkens will choose people has been attracting attention, of course, in addition to Jordan, there is another player Lin Han has also received great attention, however, this is not just Lin Han's strength and popularity, but the relationship between Lin Han and many NBA superstars, it is rumored that Wilkens hopes that the three centers and Barkley or Pippen can appear in the list of the Dream Three team again, but the answers given by these people are very **, It seems that the general meaning is that they need to see the choice of Lin Han and Wilkens, in fact, the meaning is already very clear, Lin Han is selected, they will not join, unless Wilkens gives up on Lin Han.
Of course, this kind of rumor is not groundless, just because of this year's all-star thing, many people are very willing to believe in this matter, after all, this kind of thing is not without a criminal record, and this time Wilkens greeted Lin Han before the game, naturally it will not be such a thing as inviting Lin Han to join the dream third team, Wilkens just said hello to Lin Han to express his appreciation for Lin Han, and he is on good terms with Lin Han.
Before the game, the Jazz and the Hawks were relatively friendly, but these two teams were the first in the West and the first in the East.
The New York Knicks were double-killed by the Rockets and Jazz this season, and the Hawks don't want their team to be double-killed, after all, their goal is also to win the championship, so it is very important to maintain a certain level of confidence in the regular season.
What's more, Malone has not played in this game, and the Jazz team is not in a very good situation, in this case, this is a very good opportunity for the Hawks, if the Hawks can't even grasp such an opportunity, then it is really impossible to say.
So after the start of this game, the Hawks almost played out the intensity of the playoffs at home. This made it a little difficult for the Jazz team, which played a very fierce game with the Hornets in the last game and had a relatively strong fighting spirit.
Of course, maybe it's because the Jazz team is really good at the moment. Although Malone was not there, Lin Han's power on the offensive end was also limited by Stockton, but the team played very resilient, although the Jazz were behind from the beginning of this game, but no matter how much the Hawks were ahead, the Jazz could eventually catch up, this kind of game that you chase and catch up with even the Hawks head coach Wilkens, who was very well prepared for this game before the game, could not think of it.
"I always thought Jerry Sloan was the Jazz's only weakness. His ability can't control this team, and now it seems that I really underestimated Jerry Sloan."
When I saw that my team couldn't defeat the Jazz without Malone after going all out. At this time, Wilkens on the sidelines was extremely surprised.
Although the all-out Hawks still defeated the Jazz 1o8-14 at the end of the game, the Jazz played very well in terms of the content of this game. After the end of this game. The Eagles fans in the stadium stood up and applauded both teams.
It's just that, like the previous game, Lin Han's shots in this game are still not very many, scoring 28 points on 11-of-21 shooting, of course, this is compared to Lin Han's usual close to 3o shots per game, 21 shots is not much, but compared to other NBA players. 21 shots in a game is a lot.
"Boss, are you alright?"
But after this game. Looking at the Hawks fans who stood up and applauded the Jazz team around him, Lin Han was a little in a trance, he really didn't expect that the Jazz team without Malone would be able to show such a strong combat effectiveness when playing the Hawks away from home, and for a while Lin Han was also in a trance, not very sure if Ma Long was doing the right thing.
After the Jazz lost to the Hawks on the road, the Jazz ended a short road trip to the East and returned to Utah with a 1-2 record, and after this East road trip, the Jazz's record also became 58-8, although it is still the first in the league, but at this time many people have questions about this team.
For example, O'Neal, the leading player of the Magic team who has been very good in recent times, the young center who has always been eaten by the Utah double in the face of the Jazz, said that the next game, that is, the away game with the Jazz on March 23, will lead the team to defeat the Jazz in order to avenge the last loss to the Jazz.
It seems that the Jazz at this time is rapidly losing its deterrent power to other teams, if in the past, borrowing O'Neal's courage, this kid would not dare to provoke Malone and Stockton or Jazz, even if he was asked to provoke the other three centers, this flexible fat man would not provoke Malone and Stockton, he really couldn't get these two [lewd] trivial.
Of course, although the Jazz are now provoked by the Magic and O'Neal, Lin Han did not have a war of words with his 'good partner' on the All-Star level, because after returning to Salt Lake City, Lin Han, who has now accumulated enough two purple and gold skill points, quickly chose to upgrade his Kobe-style turn-back jumper to the 1v3 level
Skill: Kobe Bryant-style turnaround and backward jumper (purple gold A+ level skill)
Skill level: 1v3
Skill Effect: 1v3 Kobe Bryant-style turnaround and backward jump shot with 1v3 level picturesque action effect
1v3 level picturesque action effect: can greatly improve the viewing effect of the host using the turn and back jump shot, when the host uses this skill to throw a goal, the host has an 8o% chance of throwing the second ball, after the second ball hits, the host has a 75% chance of throwing the third ball, 7o% of the chance of throwing the fourth ball in a row, 65% of the chance of throwing the fifth ball in a row, 6o% of the chance of throwing the sixth ball in a row, and then decreasing until the chance of consecutive hits drops to o%. In addition, if the host uses the skill to miss the first ball, then there will be an 8o% chance of not hitting the second time using the skill, a 75% chance of not hitting the second time, a 75% chance of not hitting the third time, and so on until the probability of not hitting is o%
Skill Notes: This skill ignores any intensity of the game and ignores one's physical fitness
When Lin Han upgraded this skill to 1v3, Lin Han's current tumor effect of this skill has almost broken through the sky, and it is very likely that there will be seven or eight consecutive points in a game, and it is also possible that there will be seven or eight consecutive iron in a game. Therefore, when Lin Han upgraded this skill, Lin Han really had a feeling of numbness on his scalp.
can make him, who is now recognized as the league's No. 1 'cancer' player in the United States, have a numb scalp. It is also possible to see the horror of this skill.
But fortunately, what makes Lin Han happier is that after Lin Han upgraded Kobe's turnaround and backward jumper to 1v3, Kobe's jump-up and pass can finally be learned.
"Ding, the host confirms the use of the Kobe Bryant-style jump pass skill card?"
"Confirm"
"Ding, start matching, please wait"
"Ding. The host's height armband meets the requirements, the basic attributes meet the requirements, and at least one gold or above step-back jumper skill reaches 1v3 to meet the requirements"
"Ding. Congratulations to the host, who was able to learn Kobe's jump-and-pass skills"
When a burst of electronic sound passed, Lin Han quickly realized that the figure of the Lakers player he was very familiar with appeared in his mind again, and Lin Han also began to accept the inheritance of this player who was at least the quasi-king player in Lin Han's opinion.
"Ding. The relationship host successfully accepts Kobe Bryant's legacy. Successfully learned Bryant's jumping and passing skills"
When Lin Han accepted Kobe's inheritance and watched Kobe use this skill again and again in the game, Lin Han was a little confused.
"This is a Kobe Bryant-style jump pass?"
When Lin Han finished learning, he couldn't laugh or cry for a while, not that this skill is not good, on the contrary, this skill is very strong, but the same skill seems to be a little pitted.
Especially when Lin Han was receiving the inheritance. Seeing a Lakers' white interior line ready to grab a frontcourt rebound after Kobe Bryant jumped up and made a step-back jumper every time, Kobe Bryant didn't shoot in the face of multiple people. Directly in the air, he smashed the basketball in his hand to the back of the inside lineman.
If Marbury's horizontal pass is torture for outside players, then Kobe's jump pass is definitely torture for his teammates inside, the ghost knows when Kobe Bryant will choose to pass and when to shoot, after shooting or passing, Kobe Bryant's action when he jumps is almost identical, and Kobe's jumping pass, the ball is still extremely fast, and fortunately, the Lakers No. 16 white man with a beard on his face is indeed explosive in sensitivity, as if he can receive Kobe's pass most of the time.
Of course, if you can receive such a pass, it is directly a layup for an interior player, then this skill is strong, much stronger than Marbury's cross, and the key point is whether your teammates can receive it.
If Lin Han deceived his opponent and teammates when he used this skill, it would really be a pitfall.
Skill: Kobe Bryant-style jump pass (golden A-level skill)
Skill level: 1v1
Skill Effect: The use of this skill can greatly enhance the passing concealment of the player, with a 1v1 level elusive special effect
1v1 level of elusive no special effect: When the host uses the 1v3 level backward jump jumper skill to jump, choose to pass the ball to the inside, the receiver has his back to the host, the host's pass is broken by 5o%, and the receiver faces the host, the host's pass is broken and increased by 5o%
Notes: The most deceitful pass
When Lin Han was slightly stunned, after opening the skill panel and seeing the description of this skill, Lin Han also smiled bitterly again, when he jumped up, his teammates were deceived by himself, and when he went to grab the rebound, he chose to pass the ball, and the broken rate was reduced by 5o%, that is to say, his pass was basically not broken by the opponent, and if his teammates were not deceived by himself, when he jumped and passed, the opponent was also not deceived, this kind of jump ball pass was already dangerous, plus 5o% After the breakage rate, it is possible to make mistakes almost every time.
"If I really pass the ball like this in the game, will Malone elbow me?"
When he thought of this, Lin Han's face was very strange at this time.
Of course, at this time, Lin Han was a little unsure after learning the strong pass of this seemingly pit teammate, and on March 23, when the Jazz and Magic team played the day, the Magic players came to Salt Lake City under the leadership of O'Neal, these people were full of confidence.
