Chapter 501: Lin Han and Jordan who went berserk
"The bet between Lin and Scott I know, it's funny, Lin is a very great offensive player, Scott is a very great defensive player, both have that quality to strive for more, and the NBA Finals is the highest stage for basketball players, and it's very, very fun to challenge yourself on that stage."
"In other words, Phil will support Scott's decision in the first game of the Finals like Magic supported Lin Han?"
"Yes, if the Magic are really ready to start Trevoluvoven in the next game, we will respond accordingly"
On June 8, 1995, before the day's practice session before Game 1 of the Finals, Bulls head coach Phil Jackson smiled and answered questions from reporters.
Regarding Pippen's bet with Lin Han, he didn't really care about and believe it at first, thinking that it was just Lin Han and the magician setting off smoke bombs.
But in the end, he really didn't expect that Lin Han was actually playing for real!
After Lin Han and Pippen made a bet, the media reporter went to ask Lin Han again, and then Lin Han directly said that the Lakers would definitely let Trevoluffin start in the next game, and even the Magic said in an interview that he supported all of Lin Han's decisions, and the starting point guard of the Lakers in the next game was Trevoluffin, and the starting small forward was Lin Han.
And in order to convince everyone that he is not talking nonsense, the Magic even announced the Lakers' starting lineup in advance.
Starting center Rodman, starting power forward Eddie Jones, starting small forward Lin Han, starting scoring guard Trevoloufen, and starting point guard is Van Exel.
This is a very fantasy starting lineup, and if it weren't for the fact that the Magic was very serious when announcing this starting lineup, everyone would have thought that the Magic was joking with them.
Because of the Lakers' starting lineup, the tallest is actually 2.01 meters Rodman, and the other players, starting power forward Eddie Jones and starting small forward Lin Han are 1.98 meters, Jordan's height, and the starting two guards Van Exel and Trevoloufen are 1.85 meters, these two can almost be said to be pocket-sized guards.
Such a starting lineup, in the current era of strong interior lines flying all over the ground, the mother who will be blown up does not know, but it is a pity that the Bulls really do not have a strong interior line that can teach this starting lineup a lesson.
Therefore, when he got the starting lineup of the Lakers, Phil Jackson chose to believe that the Lakers are indeed very likely to come up with such a starting lineup.
Although the Lakers' starting lineup lacks height, it is extremely mobile, both on the offensive and defensive ends.
This will greatly limit the Bulls' breakthroughs, mainly Jordan's breakthroughs, which are on the defensive end, and on the offensive end, the Lakers' starting set is also very aggressive.
In addition to Rodman, the other four, whether it is Lin Han or Van Exel, are all well-known in the league for their cancerous style of play, can throw, especially can throw, and what about Eddie Jones and Trevorufen?
Eddie Jones is the Lakers' key second-in-command team in the future, while Trevoloufen is the best sixth man who has excelled in the regular season, and no matter what their playoff performance looks like, in terms of regular season performance, these two have proven that they can score.
Since he has proved that he can score, appearing in the starting lineup at the same time is naturally to open up space for Lin Han and let Lin Han and Pippen one-on-one!
Therefore, in Phil Jackson's view, the Magic's starting lineup is completely for Lin Han and Pippen, Jordan and Trevoluffin to go head-to-head.
On the defensive end, to limit Jordan's breakthrough, you throw it outside, and on the offensive end, try to get space for Lin Han to go heads-up.
In fact, Phil Jackson felt that magicians didn't have to live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain like this.
If the Lakers really set up such a starter, how could he pinch Lin Han?
That's right, Scott will most likely not be able to prevent Lin Han, but Scott defends Lin Han and Trevolofen defends Jordan, which one is worse, needless to say, understand, right?
"Phil, can you talk about your specific response to a starter like the Lakers in the next game?"
"I know exactly what the Magic starter is trying to say, and I'd love to see Lin and Scott, Michael and Trevor heads-up as long as the Magic wants, so the Bulls' starting lineup for the next game will be center Kukoc, power forward Ron Harper, small forward Scott Pippen, shooting guard Jordan, and point guard Armstrong."
Phil Jackson said with a smile, it is also a small lineup, but the small lineup of the Bulls, the highest is Kukoc, 2.08 meters, and compared with the small lineup of the Lakers, the small lineup of the Bulls is more able to open up space for Jordan's heads-up, the Lakers' Rodman has no offensive ability, and Kukoc, but he has offensive ability, and he is very strong!
Therefore, the same heads-up service for the team's leading player, the Bulls' service is a little better.
The fact that the head coaches of both sides directly announced the starting lineups of the game so long before the Finals began, is extremely rare in the history of the NBA.
And this is also to create a topic and space for the large number of media from all over the world gathered in Los Angeles to hype.
Lin Han and Pippen's bet has long been known to the whole world under the spread of these media reporters from all over the world.
Originally, these media reporters and even fans thought that Pippen and Lin Han were just big mouths.
Is there anyone in this world who is so stupid to compete with Jordan?
And it's still a team heads-up, and you also pick a teammate with the weakest defense to single out Jordan and Pippen?
It's just that now from all the signs before the game, this heads-up is going to be played for real.
Now that the managers on both sides have announced their starting lineups, it would be a real shame for the world to take back their decision.
Whether it's Magic, Lin Han or Jordan, Pippen, and Phil Jackson are all people who want face.
Therefore, after the announcement of the starting lineups of both sides, it is not only convenient for those experts who do pre-match analysis and those media reporters who have been making trouble, but also for the players on both sides.
For example, Jordan has been working on his jumpers, three-point jumpers, mid-range jumpers, and back-to-back jumpers!
And this time it was not Pippen who accompanied Jordan in training, but the team's starting point guard, 1.88 meters Armstrong, which simulated Trevorufen's defense against him.
Although Trevoluffen is a rookie with a very bad defense, it is not without characteristics, Trevoluffin is shorter than Armstrong, but he weighs more than Armstrong, belongs to the kind of short and stout point guard, plus the speed is also quite fast, so if you can't adapt well, he will be very uncomfortable.
The good news is that Jordan is the most proficient offensive player in the league against this type of defensive player.
"Steve, what is Michael's success rate for singles BJ?"
"98 of 117 shots, the success rate is more than 8 percent!"
"The success rate is more than 80%?"
After a one-on-one practice with Ron Harper, Pippen's eyes lit up when he heard Stephen Cole say this.
If it were someone else, the success rate on the training ground would certainly be difficult to transplant to the stage of the finals, but if it was Jordan!
Even if there is no eighty percent, as long as there is seventy percent, he and the bull will win!
Can Lin Han beat him with a seventy percent success rate? No kidding!
"Next game, we're going to win!"
"It's a win!"
Steve Kerr is also quite excited, he came to the Bulls from the Cavaliers in the middle of the 92-93 season, it can be said, he is not a member of the Bulls' last three-game championship, and since entering the NBA in the 88-89 season, he has not had a championship ring on his hand.
Although he is still young, only 29 years old, no player will dislike having more championship rings on his hands!
Therefore, after the Magic announced the starting lineup in advance, the morale of the entire Bulls team really skyrocketed!
Without winning the game, morale has skyrocketed to an incredible level, which is probably the first time in the history of the NBA!
I have to say that this time it was really thanks to Pippen, if he hadn't provoked a war of words with Lin Han, which made Lin Han's mentality collapse a little, I'm afraid he wouldn't have let the bull take such a big advantage.
"Scott, how did you know that Malone was Lin Han's heart knot?"
Pippen picked Lin Han's saliva, and he had to bring Ma Long every time, and now fools know that Ma Long is the reason why Lin Han's current mentality is exploding.
Even Ma Long, who has been in a very depressed mood since the first round of elimination this year, was recently asked in an interview with the media about Pippen and Lin Han's bet, and he was radiant.
Lin Han and Ma Long, two former teammates, have now completely become dead knots in their hearts.
"It's very simple, Carl that guy, you just need to get in touch with him, whoever dares to face Lin Han in front of him, he will dare to hit people directly, even a veteran like Carl, Lin Han? Hmph, he's so much easier to deal with than Carl, Michael, well done! ”
Jordan made another standard turnaround and step-back jumper, and Armstrong, who was defending him below, had already started to push, but none of them prevented the ball from hitting!
"Michael's form is so good!"
"Even in the last round of playing magic, Michael wasn't inspired to do this, right?"
"Hahahaha, this is also something that can't be helped, who made Scott bet with Lin Han that he was accidentally hurt?"
"Yes, Michael probably never dreamed that he would one day be singled out by someone like Trevoluffin in the NBA, and it would be a shame if he didn't kill a lot!"
"I have to say that Lin Han is still too young, although he has the strength, he is still too impatient"
At the Bulls' training ground, applause, cheers, cheers were in bursts, while at the Lakers' training ground.
At this time, the Lakers unexpectedly did not make such a targeted contact with the Bulls.
In fact, the magician and Trevoluffin wanted to practice, and then they were directly vetoed by Lin Han.
According to Lin Han: "It's good that Jordan can do this kind of targeted exercise, but I don't need it."
Why is it good for Jordan to do such targeted exercises, whether it is Magic, Trevoluffin, or other Lakers players, they don't understand very well, but if they don't understand, they don't understand, Lin Han said what to do, and they can't say that they are against it.
Therefore, according to Lin Han's request, the Lakers went directly to actual combat training, and the Lakers' five starters, Rodman, Eddie Jones, Lin Han, Ruffin and Van Exel, were on the first team of the remaining Lakers players.
Originally, this kind of actual battle, no matter how you look at it, is to practice the tactics of the Lakers in the next game, for example, the Lakers team opened up space for Lin Han, and Lin Han singled Pippen tactics.
Although the two sides have agreed to be heads-up, if your Lakers' own space can't be opened, you don't blame the Bulls for being able to help defend, and you can only blame your own tactics for being too bad.
It's just that what many reporters next to him can't understand is that Lin Han didn't mean to single the opposing player at all, but held the ball for 20 seconds alone, and only crossed it to his teammates when it was time to press the whistle.
This kind of pass, these reporters are actually not very unfamiliar, because this is one of the reasons why many people say that Lin Han brushes data and assists, and when he receives a horizontal pass like Lin Han, he has no time, except for shooting, what else can he do?
This kind of whistle-blowing shooting rate is already low, dragging down the team's offensive efficiency to increase the statistics of assists for themselves, this style of play is simply a cancer.
Even if Lin Han has left the Jazz, Malone has sprayed Lin Han's passing method more than once.
It's just that everyone doesn't care about a pass like Malone Lin Han.
Let's just say that in last year's finals, Ma Long kept saying that he was pitted by Lin Han's pass, but everyone was not blind, obviously Ma Long couldn't shoot it himself, when Lin Han was in the Lakers, it was right that he often pressed the whistle and passed the ball to brush assists, but when he was in the Jazz, his passes to Malone were never sticky.
Therefore, Lin Han never responded to Ma Long's complaints, and even many Jazz fans couldn't stand it, what is Lin Han's bad passing that pits you, is your own psychological quality is not too strong, the finals are soft-footed shrimp, and the MVP was robbed by Lin Han, what else do you have to say?
Lin Han is really willing to pass the ball for you and make a wedding dress for you, who else can you blame if you don't fight yourself? !
If you look at the Lakers players, every time they catch the ball, these Lakers players have a higher shooting percentage than you, the league's No. 1 forward.
In the face of such sarcasm from many fans, Ma Long really couldn't find any reason to refute it except for anger, unwillingness, and grievances.
"Lin Han: Is this testing the psychological quality of the Lakers players? It's already in the finals, so he shouldn't still be thinking about brushing data, right? It's useless to brush up on data in the finals, you can't win the championship, and you can't win the FMVP."
The reporters next to them were really puzzled when they saw Lin Han, who was playing this kind of whistle-blowing pass with other players of the Lakers on the training ground.
In addition to training the mental qualities of the other young players on the Lakers, they really can't think of other uses.
And in the next game, according to the starters announced by the Lakers, Van Exel, Rufen, Eddie Jones, these three are really all young players, and their performance in the playoffs in the previous rounds is indeed average, and it is difficult to say whether they can withstand the pressure of the finals.
Of course, Lin Han naturally didn't care about the incomprehension of these reporters.
In the next game, the Marbury-style arc top crossing is the key to whether the Lakers can win the Bulls!
Skill: Marbury-style arc top cross (Silver B+ level skill)
Skill level: Lv3
Skill attributes: This skill belongs to one of the horizontal passes at the top of the arc, which has very low requirements for the player's vision and tactical ability, and comes with a special lv3 whistle passing special effect
Lv3 Whistle Pass Special Effect: When a player dribbles for more than 20 seconds and chooses to pass to a teammate, the teammate's shooting percentage is increased by 20 in the last second, and the shooting rate of non-whistle shots is increased by 15, when the player dribbles for 15 seconds, the teammate's shooting percentage is increased by 0, when the player dribbles for 10 seconds, the teammate's shooting percentage is reduced by 15, and when the player dribbles for five seconds, the teammate's shooting percentage is reduced by 20
Note: Players who don't stick to the ball or dribble for 5 seconds have no effect
Lv3 Marbury crosses, and after 20 seconds of dribbling, his teammates press the whistle and throw the ball, with a shooting rate of at least 20%!
That's crucial, knowing that no player on the Lakers team other than him will not necessarily shoot 20% from the field in the Finals, and that's no joke.
These old and young, even if they shoot 27 shots and 0 hits, it is normal.
As for holding the ball to the basket or other offensive methods, I'm sorry, in the next game, in addition to not allowing Jordan to break through, there is also the fact that the Bulls can't fight back!
Attacking with the ball, easy to make mistakes, and mistakes can create opportunities for counterattacks, which he will never allow.
If it is a position, most of the Bulls' offense will be concentrated in Jordan's hands, and if it is counterattacked, it will not be necessarily.
Therefore, the Lakers' strategy in the next game is to try not to let Jordan break through, the shot is better to replicate than the breakthrough, and they can't let the Bulls fight back, the Bulls play a counterattack, whether Jordan hits or not, there is no way to hit the 'answer ball'
In this case, you can only make sure you don't make mistakes when your teammates are attacking.
So the question is, how can you make sure that your teammates don't make mistakes?
Of course, it's to let your teammates pick up the pot in 24 seconds!
So, this kind of passing, with a minimum of 20% hitting, is really good.
"Trevor, don't be afraid of not being able to shoot, since I passed the ball to you at the last moment, I didn't think you could shoot, you look at Nick very well"
"Boss, I see"
"Well, it's good to know, and Eddie, you too, don't have any pressure, I'll always pass the ball for you in this way in the next game, even if you can only shoot one of them, we can win!"
"If we shoot one of them, we win?"
Seriously, since Lin Han and Pippen's bet came out, even those little brothers of Lin Han of the Lakers team never thought that they could win the championship this year, the Lakers are not as strong as the Bulls, and they still play like this, how to get it?
It's just that now it seems that Lin Han has not given up on victory at all.
"Boss, can we still win?"
"Of course, believe me, in the next game, we will definitely win!"
The young players who started the Lakers' next game looked at each other and nodded firmly.
"Boss, we believe in you!"
If it weren't for the fact that he had been in this alliance for too long, even Rodman would feel that he would be inspired by Lin Han's current expression and words.
It's just that he is different from these young players of the Lakers team, although he recognizes Lin Han and is very convinced of Lin Han, but according to the current strength of the Lakers and Lin Han's already emotionally violent situation, it is difficult to win.
It's just that what makes Rodman a little puzzled is that Lin Han shouldn't have been outburst by Pippen's emotions?
So why does it still look so calm now? And the same dangerous and cunning smile on his face all the time?
"Did you hear that, Lin Han actually said just now that the Lakers can still win the next game?!"
"How could you not have heard, according to Lin Han's arrangement of the other Lakers players just now, the Bulls are not allowed to counterattack, try to concentrate the Bulls' scores on Jordan's hands, and then do not let other Bulls players score, in this way, as long as the other Lakers players can score one point, the Lakers can win, what is the premise of what do you say about this happening?!"
"Nonsense, of course, the premise is that Lin Han can get the same points as Jordan!"
"Lin Han and Jordan's scoring ability is stronger and who is weak, let's not talk about it, Lin Han has the same points under Pippen's defense as Jordan under Ruffin's defense? Hehe, which of you believes? ”
In the face of the ridicule of the Chicago Tribune reporter, the Los Angeles reporter and the Asian-faced reporter at the scene looked a little embarrassed.
"Just now there was news from the Bulls that Jordan beat Armstrong, and the efficiency exceeded 80%, and there is a trend of getting higher and higher!"
Hiss~
Hearing this, the reporters at the scene gasped, how many points will Jordan score in the next game?
Lin Han wants to score as much as Jordan?
Which international joke is this?
Jordan is definitely going to go berserk in the next game, and Lin Han, in the face of Pippen's defense, can he go berserk?!
Even if you can go violent, can you go to the level of Jordan?!
As soon as the Lakers practice game ended, reporters at the scene surrounded them.
"Lin, just now there was news from the Bulls that Jordan played Armstrong, and the efficiency is about to break through 85%"
Hearing this question, Trevoluffin's face beside Lin Han trembled with fright, and Armstrong's defense was much better than his.
"Oh, it's only 85%? In the next game, I played Pippen less than 100% efficiently and I quit the NBA! ”
After Lin Han finished speaking lightly, he took Trevoluffin's shoulders and led the Lakers players out of the training hall, leaving behind the reporters who looked at each other.
It wasn't long before the reporters got excited......
