Chapter 548: Lin Han's apprentices

After New Year's Day, the NBA restarted, and there was only one focus left in the league, and that was the Lakers' winning streak.

Before New Year's Day this year, the Lakers had a three-game winning streak in Texas to 31 games.

Just seven more wins would break the Jazz's record of 37 straight wins.

And these media fans who pay attention to the Lakers' winning streak have flipped through the Lakers' schedule this season, and it is really full of coincidences.

The Lakers' 37th and 38th games of the season are against none other than the Utah Jazz!

On January 14, the Lakers will take on the Utah Jazz on the road, and then on January 15, the Lakers will return to their home court to play the Jazz.

The two teams will play back-to-back home and away games over the course of these two days!

In other words, the Lakers will have the opportunity to get back their own winning streak from the hands of the Jazz!

However, before the Lakers can challenge the Jazz on January 14, they need to beat all the previous opponents.

In the first game after the New Year's Day holiday, the Lakers hosted the 76ers, who are 5-22 this season and are competing for the first pick with the Raptors and Grizzlies.

The 76ers haven't slowed down since losing Barkley.

After Barkley left, the 76ers were completely reduced to fish belly.

The current leader of the team is this year's rookie Jerry Starkerhouse.

Compared to this year, after the Timberwolves got rookie Garnett, the record took off directly.

The 76ers are much more miserable.

Jerry Starkerhouse is a top student from North Carolina, while Garnett is a high school student.

Both were the favorites before the draft.

It's just that in the end, the Timberwolves chose Garnett as an interior lineman.

It stands to reason that NCAA players from elite schools should be better suited to the NBA than the average high school rookie, but this year's situation is quite the opposite.

This season's rookies, the most adaptable to the NBA are two players who have not played in the NCAA, Garnett of the Timberwolves and Wang Zhizhi of the Warriors.

Everyone knows very well the origins of these two high school rookies, Wang Zhizhi is a personal disciple of former Lakers assistant coach and now Warriors head coach Adelman.

He spent more than a year studying with Warriors head coach Adelman and assistant coach Carell.

Adelman agreed to coach the Warriors on the condition that the Warriors had to draft Wang Zhizhi.

Wang Zhizhi can quickly adapt to Princeton's role, and everyone can expect it.

Having a manager who knows him well and the team is playing a tactical system that he is familiar with, it's a perfect adaptation environment.

But Garnett, that is completely skillful with his own personal strength, forcibly adapted.

The Timberwolves don't have a head coach familiar with Garnett, nor does they have a tactical system that Garnett is familiar with.

Like any other bad team, the team led by such a high rookie is the XJBD team.

This style of play is a great test of the rookie's success.

After this third of the season, the Timberwolves currently have a 15-15 record and are on the verge of the playoffs.

Garnett, on the other hand, averages 20+10+4 per game.

A young interior player who turned 20 four months away has already played All-Star level stats and performances.

Such a talent has already made many people look forward to it.

In particular, Garnett's action of grabbing rebounds and his style of quick shot after grabbing rebounds are very similar to Lin Han's playing inside.

Coupled with his all-round offensive and defensive performance on the inside, many experts and fans in the United States have called him 'the inside version of Lin Han'!

Plus Kobe Bryant, the biggest pick in the 1996 draft, this 'outside version of Lin Han'.

Many fans and experts ridiculed that Lin Han split himself into two pieces, Garnett took Lin Han who belonged to the inside line, and Kobe Bryant took Lin Han who belonged to the outside line.

Compared to Garnett, Jerry Starkerhouse, the No. 3 pick this year, is not so strong.

As the so-called successor to Jordan, his performance in the NBA can only be described as mediocre.

As a rookie, he can now average close to 20 points per game, which is actually not bad.

But it depends on who you compare it to.

Jordan's successor and Lin Han's disciple, he has been comparing Garnett since his first day in the NBA.

But whether it is from the record or from the data, it has been completely blown out.

Jerry Starkerhouse is a genius who rose to fame at a young age, and such a genius has never been the kind of person who knows how to be humble.

Even if he has been wearing the halo of the next Jordan, even if it is Jordan, he is not convinced.

This is not to mention Garnett or Garnett's master Lin Han.

"Boss, that kid looks at you very unpleasantly"

"Well, I can see it too"

In this game between the 76ers and the Lakers, no one will think that the 76ers can beat the Lakers.

The only highlight of this game is the next contest between Jordan and Lin Han.

Jerry Starkerhouse is now defeated by Garnett, but his popularity in the United States is still very good.

In the just-announced All-Star second round voting, Jerry Stackhouse was second only to Jordan in terms of votes among guards, and Hardaway was third.

Even Reggie Miller had more than a hundred votes less than him.

How could such a proud son of heaven be convinced of him.

Maybe Jerry Starkerhouse may be thinking in his heart that he can beat him, and then beat Jordan and Hardaway, and finally overtake Jordan and Hardaway to become the guard vote king in the East.

"Lin Han, I want to have a one-on-one heads-up mode with you in this game!"

"One-on-one heads-up with me?"

"That's right, just like last year's Finals when you played Jordan, you said, everyone can challenge you like that!"

"I said it"

Lin Han, who had already walked onto the court, nodded with some surprise.

He said that everyone can challenge him, but no one has challenged him this season.

Most people in the NBA have a good IQ, but they don't have a few brains.

I didn't expect Jerry Starkerhouse to become the first player to launch this kind of heads-up game against him in the new season.

"Where's your answer!"

"Of course there is no problem"

Lin Han nodded with a smile without any hesitation.

Jerry Starkerhouse ignored the eyes of his 76ers teammates trying to stop him.

As the future of the 76ers, Jerry Stark House has such a position to be willful.

Even 76ers head coach John Lucas couldn't do anything.

So the game between the 76ers and the Lakers without any suspense became interesting because of the heads-up declaration that Jerry Starck House launched to Lin Han.

Since Lin Han and Jordan played the ultimate heads-up game in the finals, fans are still looking forward to such a strange game mode.

Although this time it is not a challenge between Jordan and Lin Han.

Jerry Starkerhouse, who is the next Jordan, is also very good in heads-up.

Even if he can't win against Lin Han, there should be a very exciting battle between the two.

That's what the fans are looking forward to.

It's just that the fans' expectations are a bit out of reality.

Jerry Starker House's strength is really good, and he is a quasi-All-Star level individual.

If he hadn't played such an extreme heads-up game, his stats would have been very good in this match.

But if it's such an extreme heads-up, he really doesn't want any data.

Whether it is physical talent or basketball skills, let alone going head-to-head with Lin Han, even the chance of shooting in front of Lin Han is slim.

In the end, before the Lakers and 76ers were halfway through the game, Jerry Starkerhouse graduated with six fouls.

Starkerhouse, who committed six fouls, left the court with reluctance and anger, as well as 0 points and 15 turnovers, and the data of 0 points and 15 turnovers in the audience.

After Jerry Starhouse left, the extreme heads-up between Lin Han and Stark House naturally couldn't go on.

Except for Starkerhouse, no one in the 76ers will dare to go head-to-head with Lin Han.

The 76ers' game, which was already impossible to win, was made even more impossible by Stackhouse like this.

After Stackhouse went off the field, Lin Han also resumed his style of play to assist his teammates.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the 76ers 138-55 at home, and the 76ers' 55 points were almost all scored in the second half.

In the small half of the game with Lin Han playing the ultimate heads-up, Jerry Starkerhouse and the 76ers did not score a single point.

The contest between Lin Han and Starhouse is a real crushing!

After beating the 76ers at home, the Lakers defeated the Nuggets and Heat at home one after another, pushing their winning streak to 34 games!

The Lakers' 35th game was against the Timberwolves, who are recognized by pundits across the country as the best rookie of the year, Garnett.

On January 10, 1996, the Los Angeles Lakers hosted the 16-16 Timberwolves.

This game is a game for Garnett's trip home.

Last year, Garnett spent a lot of time with the Lakers.

It can be said that in the eyes of Lakers fans, Garnett and Pierce Wang Zhizhi are definitely their own people.

Garnett returned to the Great Western Forum Arena and enjoyed the applause of the fans when he hugged Lin Han before the game.

"Kevin, let me test your strength in this game!"

"I'll do my best!"

Garnett has been looking forward to this game for a long time.

If he hadn't wanted to come to the NBA to face Lin Han soon, he wouldn't have been so eager to enter the NBA!

Now, he is finally standing on the same court as Lin Han, standing opposite Lin Han!

In order to better test Garnett, Lin Han, who has been playing point guard this season, played a big forward for the first time in this game.

Scott Skels replaced Rodman as the team's starter.

From Garnett's participation in the draft to his return from his trip to China, the two have not trained together for months.

He really doesn't know how far Garnett's strength has grown now.

20+10+4+1.5+2, this is Garnett's current data.

As far as this data is concerned, there is nothing wrong with experts and fans saying that he is the inside version of Lin Han.

Terrible across the board!

He's only 20 years old!

It's no wonder that the teams that have been rotten this year have their eyes on the basketball teenagers around him.

Lin Han has heard that the 76ers are only for one person this year.

That's Kobe Bryant!

Originally, the 76ers' target last year was Garnett, but in the end, the Timberwolves took away the first pick.

The inner Lin Han is gone, so let's go and get the outer Lin Han!

The 76ers' goal is Kobe, and the Raptors and Grizzlies are naturally other goals.

The target of the Raptors and Grizzlies is Iverson!

Next year's champion is likely to be between Kobe Bryant and Iverson.

If Duncan still doesn't participate in the draft, Kobe Iverson is scheduled to be the 1996 No. 1 overall pick.

It depends on which team wins the lottery.

Before facing off against Jerry Starkerhouse of the 76ers, Lin Han was completely abusive.

Jerry Stackhouse is a player who has grown up in tradition.

According to the setting of a certain middle two country in another section of the Pacific Ocean, it belongs to the old humans.

And Garnett and Iverson or Kobe Wang Zhizhi are the new humans he cultivated and catalyzed.

Their style of play is more modern and characteristic.

The contest with them is also more interesting.

Maybe their current strength is also not a threat to him, but their future is more worth looking forward to.

They have a malleability in them that doesn't exist in Starkhouse, their old humans!

In the duel with Garnett, Lin Han still didn't use the answer ball, there was no need at all, and the two were not the kind of extreme heads-up.

And Garnett is well aware of the gap between them.

This game Garnett is mainly to show him how far he has come.

"The shooting is a lot more stable than before, and the three-point shot can also be regarded as an ordinary weapon, but the shooting speed is still too slow, and the strength needs to be strengthened, as for other defensive and offensive awareness, it still needs a lot of experience accumulation, and the passing and rebounding are as good as ever, congratulations, Kevin, you are qualified"

At the end of the game, Garnett, who was praised by Lin Han, was a little bitter.

He did his best in this game, and under Lin Han's care, he only got 6 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 0 steals, 0 blocks, and 6 turnovers.

It was his worst game of the season.

He knew that his strength was far from Lin Han's opponent, but he hit a three-pointer, a two-pointer, and a free throw in one game, which was also a little too miserable.

Lin Han, who was opposite him throughout the scene, seemed to be everywhere.

"Lin, next time, next time I must get more than ten points on your head!"

"I'll see, but if you don't improve next time, I'm afraid you won't even get six points, Kevin, you haven't scored zero points in the NBA, have you?"

Lin Han's evil smile made Garnett tremble a little.

After New Year's Day, the Lakers' schedule seems to be on the same page as this season's rookies.

After defeating the Timberwolves led by Garnett at home, the Lakers will challenge Wang Zhizhi's Warriors away on January 12.

In this game, he didn't want to test Wang Zhizhi.

Wang Zhizhi is not like Garnett, he is now a true team player under the transformation of Adelman and Carell.

A team-type center who averages 9 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists per game.
