Chapter Seventy-Two: What Is the Cancer?
On November 2o, 1993, at 11:30 p.m., the media room of the Madison Square Garden Arena was already full, although New York is the largest city in the United States, and it is home to the most advanced media industry in the United States, but it is rare that such a huge media room is so full that even the corridors outside are full of people.
This is not a game between the New York Knicks and the Bulls, this game is not Jordan's participation, and this game is not even a playoffs, it is just a regular season game of first in the East and second in the West.
In fact, if this game ends normally, it really won't cause too much of a stir, but, the key is, is this game a normal end? Of course not, when Lin Han scored 13 points in the last 35 seconds to beat the New York Knicks, many media who were not interested in this game at all came from all directions, and many media here were not only not very interested in this game, but also not very interested in the NBA, such as the New York correspondent of the Wall Street Journal and the Xinhua News Agency from the other side of the sea.
Obviously, this game has crossed the scope of an NBA game because of Lin Han, although Lin Han's first seven games are extremely crazy, but it has not really let everyone admit it, just like Lin Han's teammates don't know how long Lin Han will be crazy, whether he will lose his luck and fall directly.
After all, Lin Han is not too fast, not too strong, the limit bounce is not very good, the technical ability is not too good, and he doesn't dare to have much luck in the NBA, this rookie can only be a machine that keeps shooting, who knows if this machine will stop directly after being touched by the opponent, to put it bluntly, Lin Han has been complaining about why he can't get the recognition of the media and experts, no matter how many points he scores, those expert media will sneer at him, It's not just that these expert media don't like his style of play, but more importantly, Lin Han's talent is really not very good.
If even a player like Lin Han can succeed in the NBA, then isn't that a slap in the face of these experts? A player who they disparaged as having no basketball talent finally succeeds, where is their majesty in the future? So even if Lin Han has done a good job, they will come to pick on Lin Han, don't these experts know that Lin Han's average of more than 4o points per game in the first seven games is something that Jordan and Chamberlain and even Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and other strongmen did not do? Of course they knew, these experts knew better than anyone else what Lin Han was counting now, but what if they knew? The most shameless people in the world are the ones who deliberately pretend to be stupid, just like they did with Jordan back then, don't they know that Jordan was able to lead the team to victory even with a high score? They know, but as long as Jordan loses, they say Jordan scored too high, and when Jordan brushes a triple-double, don't they know Jordan's changes? Of course they know, but they just know what, and they'll also say that Jordan has too few shots and no impact.
It's just that such a picky can sometimes have a great impact, such as the picky thorn on Lin Han, even if Lin Han's number is really terrifying, but it still makes almost everyone hesitate about Lin Han's NBA future, and now, when Lin Han staged such a miracle in the face of the NBA's blackest and most iron-blooded team, even if these experts are picky, no matter how stupid they pretend, their influence is getting smaller, after all, this is not an ordinary thing, this is a miracle, This Chinese American almost staged a miracle in the NBA! Who in the entire history of the NBA has been able to do this, even in the entire history of American professional sports, how many people have staged a story of perfect heroism like Lin Han today?!
Therefore, at this time, Lin Han's value was really recognized after this miracle, rather than being swayed by those experts in the NBA, perhaps from today onwards, Lin Han, who does not conform to the mainstream values of the NBA, has no talent and no ability, but the number of jΓΉ makes people spurt blood is a player who can really start his NBA road, and Lin Han's value has finally been recognized by the media in the United States or the world, after all, if Lin Han can keep it, With his identity, he will become one of the most special beings in American sports, and the value contained in him will also shock everyone, here, no one is a fool, so after today's game, there will be so many people who want to share Lin Han's freshly baked 'big pizza'.
"Here it is, here it is, here comes Pat Riley and Jerry Sloan!"
Just when the media, who had been waiting here for almost an hour, began to get irritable, the sudden commotion of the reporters in the front row immediately brought a commotion to all the media reporters in the audience.
Although as the protagonist of this incident, Lin Han was not able to attend the post-game press conference, which made these reporters from all over the world very disappointed, for a while these guys almost hated Jazz head coach Sloan, it was this guy who gave Lin Han a media ban or media protection order, except for the post-game TV interview, Lin Han put an end to any media interviews, which even the NBA official seems to have acquiesced, as the best post-game media event for several games but did not attend, Lin Han is the first.
"It's really unlucky, why can the Wall Street Journal be in the front row, that is our position, and also, what is the name of the Xin-China News Agency, why can the Celestial Empire media be in the front row? Have they interviewed the NBA before? It's unfair, it's so unfair, David Stern's snobbery will ruin the NBA"
"Forget it, who made you just a third-rate tabloid, and everyone else is a big newspaper, it's good to be able to go indoors, you see there is still a big group standing outside"
After Pat Riley and Jerry Sloan came here, the atmosphere on the scene became instantly chaotic, which made Pat Riley's face even more ugly at this time, as for Jerry Sloan on the side, he was still smiling at this time, just like Ewing, the Gorilla Ewing, the leading player of the New York Knicks before the game, this is the calmness of the winner.
Whether it is hypocrisy or pretense, there is indeed nothing wrong with calmness and grace always belonging to the victor and the king.
Of course, at this time, the chaos on the scene could not last long, and under the arrangement of the on-site staff, order was quickly restored.
"Mr. Pat Riley, what are your thoughts on this game? With 35 seconds left in the game, do you think your team could lose? Did you fail to restrict Lin Han tactically in this game, or did you underestimate him? Did you think about the New York Knicks' underdog and arrogance before the game? β
Originally, the New York Times, as the host, should need to maintain their own team, but in New York, no media will defend Pat Riley, maybe these media will defend the Knicks, will defend Ewing, but what they hate the most is Pat Riley, especially after the miracle of Lin Han was staged, these New York media even have a perverted sense of pleasure, especially when they saw the end of the game, Pat Riley's stunned eyes on the sidelines and their expressions of loss of focus made these New York media even more refreshed.
In this case, as the leader of the New York media, the New York Times naturally will not let go of Pat Riley, and almost from the beginning he made his position clear, and the reason why Lin Han performed a miracle in Madison was your Pat Riley's dereliction of duty and mistakes.
And as one of the smartest head coaches in the league, Pat Riley naturally knows the little ninety-nine in the hearts of these guys, so after the New York Times reporter asked, Pat Riley's face can no longer be described as difficult, it can be called angry, and it can make Pat Riley, who has always been elegant, lose his temper like this, I have to say that the humiliation brought to him by Lin Han in this game is indeed huge.
"You ask me why this game is like this? Is this my question? Ok, you can think whatever you want" After Pat Riley finished speaking, he didn't know what else came to mind, and his originally slightly calm tone immediately became intense, and his face was even a little hideous: "How can I know that a player can score 13 points in 3o seconds?" Do I want to make the game like this? With less than a minute left in the game, we were eight points ahead of the Jazz, one of the strongest teams in the West, and we led the game from the beginning, you say this is a dereliction of duty and a failure of my tactics? Even if it were you, did you ever think that something like this would happen today? β
After several rhetorical questions in a row, Pat Riley's outbursts almost caught all the reporters off guard, but fortunately, Pat Riley was also used to seeing big scenes, and quickly controlled his feelings again.
"I'm sorry, I don't think the defeat had anything to do with ourselves, my tactics were successful, we led for 47 minutes for 48 minutes, and my players were very good, the Jazz shot less than 35% of the whole game, and Linham shot 7-of-22 in the first 47 minutes, which is less than a third."
"But, it's a pity that we lost to God in the last minute, Linhan is a very good player, I admit I underestimated him, but that's not the reason, he borrowed 1 minute from God at the last moment"
"And when you face a player like that, there's very little you can do, you can just watch him stab you in the chest, you can't do anything about it."
When Pat Riley calmly said these words, he got up and walked away, this game was a humiliation for him from the end, he didn't know how long he would carry this humiliation with him, but for the proud Pat Riley, he only knew that he didn't want to answer anything about today's game now.
Of course, at this time, Pat Riley's angry departure can be understood by everyone, and indeed his defeat in this game is too weird or too incredible, as for Jerry Sloan on the side, his eyes narrowed with a smile when he watched the best head coach in the league finally become like this.
As the best Mesozoic head coach in the league, Jerry Sloan hopes to do the most is naturally to pull the league's best head coach Pat Riley down, which is almost an impossible task in the past, not only are the two sides not at the same level in terms of ability, but the team coached by the two is also not at the same level, and now, at least in this game, Jerry Sloan feels endless pleasure and superiority.
"Did I ever think about a last-minute reversal? Of course, the game isn't over, is it? On the court of the NBA, anything will be born, as long as we don't give up any hope, as for have you ever thought about the miracle that Lin staged in the final moments of this game? Of course, it's hard to imagine that this is going to happen, but let's not forget that he's the league's leading scorer right now, he's been able to do a lot of things in the scoring area, and now he's proven himself to be one of the greatest scorers on the planet, and it's a miracle that he's pulled us out of the woods with his scores."
"We have a problem with our tactics? Of course, you can think so, but you can think that way, but the winner was us, and we held out until the end, and the New York Knicks panicked at the end."
'Of course, of course we're going to consider putting him in more responsibility for the team, don't you see? At the Jazz, he has the same opportunities as Karl, and he's always been a core player on our team."
When Pat Riley left the court angrily, Jerry Sloan became the biggest protagonist on this stage, although the head coach of the Jazz has been affirmed by many experts in the professional field, but because of a team like the Jazz, the media has little interest in him at all, it can be said that after this game, this is the highlight of his coaching career may be the highlight so far, if Lin Han plays a few more 35 seconds and 13 minutes, he is afraid that he will win the best coach of the season with such exposure. Although the season has only just begun.
So, at this time, Jerry Sloan not only praised Lin Han very, very high, but also praised himself, Pat Riley said that he defeated Sloan tactically, if the result of this game was not like this, Sloan would indeed admit that this is the case, but now, the game is won by him, and the loser is Pat Riley, even if these reporters and experts know that the tactics of this game are indeed Jerry Sloan lost, but what can this be? Who can compare to them for pretending to be stupid and stunned!
Therefore, at this time, Jerry Sloan is enjoying the glory brought by the end of this game to the fullest, and what about Lin Han at this time?
"Ellie, is there any mistake, a Maddie moment actually consumes 2o% of my character value, this, this is too bad, right?!"
When this game ended, when Lin Han's Maddie disappeared, the system prompted him to lose 2o% of his character, which made Lin Han very surprised, you know, he was 7 in 29 in the game with the Heat, 22 times of iron, and finally gained o.5% of the character value, after the end of this game, his character value returned to zero, no, it became 1% again, and fortunately, the default minimum value of the legendary system is 1%, if it really becomes negative, Lin Han will really cry.
"Stupid, don't be dissatisfied, you only exchange 2o% of your character value for a Maddie moment, and some people have to spend a lifetime of character to be able to exchange for these thirty-five seconds of eternal glory"
Although I don't know what Alie's melancholy emotion means at this time, how does Lin Han feel that this skill doesn't seem to be so invincible, no matter how you look at it, it's a big hole, this is to make his character always be at a rhythm of 1%.
If this is really the case, Lin Han can imagine that he has a shooting percentage of 1o in 3o or 5 in 25 in every game, and I am afraid that it will not be long before he surpasses Havlicek to become the iron king of the league.
If you can't help but use this skill in the future, it is likely to be the rhythm of the cancer to the end!
