Chapter 437: The New Four Centers?!
"Win, Boss, we won, we beat the San Antonio Spurs in the first game, we actually beat the Spurs in the first game of the series!"
The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Spurs in the first game of their home game, and when this game ended, even Larry Bird and Collins such as Lin Han's die-hard fans were quite incredible, after all, although these two teams seemed to be about the same strength, but after the start of this game, when the Lakers' head coach Magic Johnson played inout tactics in this game, in fact, in the eyes of most experts and reporters on the scene, this game or this round of the series, The Lakers' victory or defeat is actually quite unpredictable, at least before the game, many people said that the Los Angeles Lakers should have a winning rate of about forty percent in this round of the series, but after the start of this game, in the eyes of most people, the Lakers are not to say that they are four, I am afraid that there may not even be a two-tier winning rate, and the Spurs play in the rhythm of the Spurs, and it is the leading player of their own team who is forced to play an unfamiliar position, which is a rather passive thing.
And it is in such a situation that the Los Angeles Lakers actually defeated an opponent like the Spurs in the first game of their team's Western Conference semifinals this season, which is quite surprising and unbelievable no matter how you look at it.
And the people who have such feelings are definitely not only those spectators or experts who are on the scene or in front of the TV, even as Lakers players at the end of the game, when they see the scoreboard on the sidelines, it is also the same, so at the moment when the whistle sounded at the end of the game, when the Los Angeles Lakers confirmed the victory, the Lakers players on the court almost directly surrounded Lin Han at this time!
As a participant in this game, the players of the Los Angeles Lakers really know too well what the difficulties encountered by their team in this game are, because the team now only Lin Han and Magic can run the Princeton tactical system more maturely, because the team's interior line is short of people and no one can block David Robinson one-on-one.
In the entire NBA, every team and every coach are basically prepared for the possibility of failure when they are forced to change their formations, and the Lakers' game is not a change of formation in the general sense, and even after the team changes formation, Lin Han himself directly put forward a more daring behavior, he is unwilling to just deal with the offensive problem in the game, hoping to replace Rodman against David Robinson!
Originally, the Lakers were quite passive in this game, but now it's good, when Lin Han confirmed the offensive and defensive sides against David Robinson in this game, even Eddie Jones, Lin Han's most loyal little brother, did not dare to praise Lin Han as before, that is to say, even Eddie Jones, the Lakers team has always been the most optimistic about Lin Han, is not so optimistic about this game.
It can be said that although the Lakers players did not say before the game that the Lakers would lose this game, for them, they can't say the same, even if all the teams in the entire league will not say that their team will lose before the start of the home game, even if the team they face is much stronger than themselves, but even if they don't say it, it doesn't mean that the actual situation will change, in fact, the Lakers players know how bad their team's current situation is in this game, Especially as the team's head coach and starter Magic Johnson is very aware of this, he is not very sure about his change of formation, and Lin Han himself wants to play center, which is even more uncertain.
But what makes Magic Johnson a little unsure of what to say is that the Los Angeles Lakers actually won this game that he was very unsure of, and the way they won was quite shocking, the Spurs, as a more dominant and more optimistic team in strength, actually did not lead in the whole game, and the Lakers led from the beginning of the game to the end of the game!
"I really don't know how I should evaluate your energy at this time"
Looking at Lin Han, who was surrounded by other players of the Lakers and even bench players at this time, Magic Johnson also shook his head with a smile at this time, as one of the most versatile players in the history of the league, and one of the most successful players in the center of the outside player, Magic Johnson knows better than anyone what kind of energy Lin Han needs to have in this game to achieve such an achievement, after all, the center opposite him is no one else, but one of the strongest centers in the league, is even one of the most powerful centers in NBA history, and in the face of such a center, Lin Han actually won the opponent, and won the opponent in the inout system, even if it was placed in the Lakers team where Abdul-Jabbar was injured that year, the Magic played the center by himself, and in the face of the opponent's center, he used his outside advantage to guerrilla play, no matter whether it was really one-on-one strong at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, the outside players and the inside players were directly one-on-one strong, in the outside line matchup, the outside line was dominant, and the inside line was in the opposite position, That's the absolute advantage of the inside, so even in the face of a first-class center, the magic didn't dare to really be strong on the inside, and in this game, Lin Han actually beat David Robinson, and he succeeded!
Thinking that before the start of this game, Lin Han said that he wanted to play center, but he had some distrust of Lin Han playing center, the magician felt a little ashamed, just for this game, Lin Han has surpassed him in the inside derby and potential!
Although this is quite incredible, the magician is quite acknowledged by the result.
The victory of this game is very important for Lin Han and the Lakers, the game has not yet started, the Lakers are directly in a passive position because the inside line is too poor, even if they are tied hand and foot as soon as they come up, they can defeat the other party in this situation, it is absolutely quite a morale-boosting thing, but it is obvious that at this time, the Lakers are demoralized because of this somewhat unexpected victory, so in addition to the Lakers, the Spurs are absolutely speechless at this time.
Especially David Robinson, the team's leading player, and Bob Hill, the team's head coach, who may not even know how the game was lost!
Therefore, when the game was over for a long time, whether it was David Robinson or Hill, the two were looking at the Lakers No. 24 surrounded by teammates on the court, and their eyes were quite dazed!
You know, although the Spurs players have always been quite confident that they can beat the Lakers in this series, and they also believe that their team strength is above the Lakers, but because of the previous regular season and playoffs of the two teams, the Spurs certainly know that the Lakers' strength is quite good, and it is impossible to easily beat the Lakers in the game, just like the Lakers cannot easily beat them, it is very likely that the two teams will win or lose in a game, so, Don't look at David Robinson's disdain for Lin Han, but David Robinson attaches great importance to Lin Han's strength and the strength of the Lakers.
Therefore, although the Spurs want to take the lead in this game, they are also mentally prepared to be defeated by the Lakers in this game, they have thought that they will lose this game, but even if they have thought that they may lose this game, they have never thought that this game will lose in such a way!
The Lakers and Lin Han are in the area that the Spurs are best at, and they are not opportunistic, but directly beat them in the hard anus of the Spurs, such a failure, even David Robinson doesn't know what kind of reason he should find to comfort himself, because there is no way to find a reason, Lin Han and the Lakers lost this game, what reason can the Spurs have?!
"Damn, hateful, damnable!"
Therefore, when David Robinson came back from his distraction, the leading player of the Spurs looked at Lin Han not far away, although his eyes were full of murder, but at this time, David Robinson did not have much hatred for Lin Han in this game, after all, Lin Han won this game very openly, he did lose this game, whether it was an accident or not, whether his internal strength was stronger than Lin Han, he did lose this game!
Therefore, compared to hating Lin Han, he regrets himself even more, the state of the other players of the Spurs team in this game is actually very good, although because Lin Han resisted him one-on-one, Rodman also choked the internal and external contact of the Spurs, making the Spurs' table Xiàn quite tangled in this game, but even so, the Spurs team that has no contact inside and outside, and the tables of other Spurs players are enough, and the biggest reason for the real team's loss is not others, it is himself!
In the face of Lin Han's one-on-one defense, he actually played 22 shots in 6 of the table, as an inside player, the shooting in this game is less than 30%, and the score in this game is not even 20 points, although his number jù looks quite beautiful, 19 points and 22 rebounds, almost hit a double twenty, but for the Spurs, such a number of double twenty jù cannot lead the team to win, and as one of the four centers in the league, In this game, in the direct battle on the inside, he and Lin Han are better than David Robinson in terms of who is better, just from the count, Lin Han is better than David Robinson in terms of points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks!
In other words, in terms of numbers, Lin Han comprehensively defeated David Robinson in this game!
This makes David Robinson how can he not regret this game, he is one of the strongest interior players in the league, and he actually lost to a cameo player like Lin Han in this position, but as long as he can be equal to Lin Han in this game, the Lakers will not win this game, but as long as he can be normal, the Spurs will not suffer such insults from Lin Han and the Lakers in this game!
Of course, at this time, as the leading player of the Spurs, David Robinson really fell into a very big self-blame, especially looking at the Spurs teammates with a rather humiliated expression on their faces at this time, the leading player of the Spurs team really hated himself, but as the head coach of the Spurs, Bob Hill, although he was also quite unhappy and regretful about the team's loss in this game, he felt that his team's failure was more because the team underestimated the Lakers, especially himself.
After the Lakers played inout tactics in this game, the head coach of the Spurs naively thought that his team could win lying down, and even a short fall behind could not change the final result of this game, and he was full of incredible confidence in the team!
This kind of confidence is of course a good thing for the Spurs, if there is anything wrong with this matter, then he and his team underestimated Lin Han's interior ability, on the offensive end, Lin Han is indeed as he imagined, definitely not David Robinson's opponent, this game on the offensive end except for the back-to-back jumper, with Lin Han's height, he and David Robinson under the basket are basically any offensive means The effect is quite average, which is just like what he expected, Even if there is some accident in this game, Lin Han will play a back-to-back jumper on the inside, but the accident is an accident, and the final result of the Lakers and Lin Han is actually not good, as can be seen from Lin Han's shooting percentage and scoring in this game and the Lakers' score throughout the game.
In the face of David Robinson and the Spurs, the Lakers who played inout tactics are actually quite average on the offensive end, if the Spurs' offense can be as usual, as long as the whole game is the whole game, the Lakers will definitely start the lead and end up with defeat.
It's just that what makes him and his team helpless is that the Lakers' performance on the offensive end of this game is quite average, and his team's performance on the offensive end may not be much better than the Lakers, or because of David Robinson, their offense is worse!
He and his team didn't expect that Lin Han would have such a strong individual ability on the inside defensive end, as an outside player, he could have the power to block David Robinson on the defensive end, and he also had such an excellent defensive prediction ability, and even his athletic talent was strong I don't know what to say, it can be said that David Robinson in front of Lin Han, except for him taking advantage of his height advantage to shoot, he almost has no advantage on the offensive end, he can't break through Lin Han, and he can't beat Lin Han with his back, Even David Robinson shot very well, after being entangled by Lin Han, David Robinson's every frontal dry shot was quite laborious, and in the end, David Robinson, who was the inside line in this game, only scored 19 points, and in the face of a defender who was nearly 20 centimeters shorter than him, David Robinson actually only scored 19 points!
Such a score can be called miserable!
Of course, David Robinson's appearance in this game is quite bad, but as the head coach of the team, Bob Hill will certainly not throw all the blame for the team's loss on David Robinson, in fact, although the failure of this game David Robinson is the biggest reason, but in addition to this reason, they underestimated Lin Han's interior defensive ability and even more seriously!
If before this game, he can sue his team's leading player David Robinson and sue him that Lin Han has a strong interior defense ability in this game, will David Robinson still lose his rhythm from the beginning of this game due to lack of preparation?
Lin Han's interior line is indeed very tough on the defensive end, but no matter how tough he is, can he be strong to the level of Olajuwon? Of course not, no matter how strong Lin Han's interior defense is, it is impossible to compare with Olajuwon in terms of strength, and David Robinson is not afraid of Olajuwon even in the face of Olajuwon, on the offensive end, as long as David Robinson can be fully prepared and has a very comprehensive offensive ability, David Robinson is not afraid of Olajuwon!
Since it is difficult for Olajuwon to get the well-prepared David Robinson, it is naturally impossible for Lin Han to do it.
"Anyway, though, this series isn't going to be easy!"
Looking at the Lakers' No. 24 on the court and the big man of his own team who is still regretting on the court, Bob Hill also thought secretly in his heart.
Whether this game is regret or helpless, it is over and over, as an NBA head coach, he is still quite proficient in basic skills such as forgetting the game, this game is lost, and there are future games, and it is enough to be able to get back to the court in future games.
If in the past, Bob Hill would not have had many psychological ripples after losing this game, but at this time, even if he knew that this game was just an ordinary game in this series, he was still quite amazed in his heart.
Originally, before the start of this round of the series, as long as Lin Han couldn't play a game like 96 points, then Bob Hill was confident that he would kick the Lakers out of the playoffs within five games in this series, which is not arrogant, the Lakers can't play the Princeton system in this round of the series, if Lin Han's cancer play doesn't work, then how many chances can the Lakers have to beat the Spurs? The chances are quite slim, as for saying that the Lakers will use inout to play on par with the Spurs, who would have thought of such a fantastical thing?
Even the most die-hard Lakers fans would never have thought that their team would be able to match the Spurs with inout tactics, which is really too mysterious, and this is such a fantasy thing, but this game really happened!
Therefore, when the Lakers defeated the Spurs with inout tactics in this game, even if Bob Hill knew that his team could do better, and knew that Lin Han's interior ability was not as good as David Robinson, the Lakers and Lin Han still had the strength to beat the Spurs with inout tactics!
That is to say, in this round of the series, even if the Lakers and Lin Han do not use Princeton tactics or tumor single tactics in the next game, the Lakers and Lin Han have the ability to beat the Spurs, no matter how many times they can beat the Spurs in this series, in short, the Lakers do have this ability, and this is definitely the most uncomfortable thing for Bob Hill.
Even if Lin Han beats the Spurs with 90 points in this game, Bob Hill will not worry, because he knows that Lin Han can't always score 90 points, so even if he loses this game, he can be confident that he will win four consecutive games against the Lakers in the future, and they will win in the end!
And now Lin Han and the Lakers didn't win with any ninety, nor with Princeton, but completely with the same inout, which means that the victory of the Lakers and Lin Han in this game is no longer due to an accident, but they really have the strength to compete with the Spurs in the same way!
"Fighting against each other, we are actually entangled with the Lakers in inout tactics, and Lin Han is actually able to compete with David Robinson at the center position, am I really not dreaming?"
When Bob Hill looked at Lin Han again, the smile on his face was full of bitterness, and at this time, when the entire arena was filled with cheers for Lin Han, when he and his team finally left the Spurs bench and walked to the players' tunnel, Bob Hill looked a little reluctant to look back at the Lakers No. 24 player who was receiving cheers from the fans at the scene.
"This is a player who can completely subvert the values of human basketball!"
Facing a player like Lin Han, Bob Hill really has a feeling of ruin.
Of course, Bob Hill is definitely not the only person who feels this way at this time, such as Popovich, the general manager of the Spurs, who was sitting with Jerry West, the general manager of the Spurs, in the stands at this time, the general manager of the Spurs looked more uncomfortable than Bob Hill and David Robinson at this time, especially when he heard Jerry West, who was sitting next to him, praised Lin Han, the general manager of the Spurs, he was angry!
As a general manager who is determined to pull Jerry West and the Lakers from the dominant position in the West, Popovich has great expectations for this series with the Lakers this year, although Popovich is just the general manager of a team, but he is definitely no worse than some NBA coaches in vision and basketball under Larry Brown, after the start of this game, when the Lakers were forced to play inout, of course he knew that his team was absolutely superior at that time, Don't say that his vision is very good, even if his vision is not good, as long as he gets the answer he wants from Jerry West next to him, at the beginning of this game, when the Lakers played inout tactics, Jerry West's face was quite ugly, especially when Lin Han played center, his face was even more ugly, in this case, of course he knew that the Lakers playing inout or Lin Han playing center was definitely not something that the team had thought about in advance, but a temporary idea, If he had thought about it in advance, he was still a little worried, but it was all improvised, what kind of worries could he have? It can be said that he, like Bob Hill, was almost waiting for the victory of this game after the start of this game.
However, no one expected that Lin Han actually locked David Robinson on the defensive end at the center position in this game, and in the end, the Lakers also defeated the Spurs to win the game.
"Greg, the Spurs' table is very good, but our table is better, Lin is a better player than David"
"Huh, huh? However, this game is just an ordinary game in a series, and the Lakers' game table is indeed surprising, but it does not mean that the Lakers have won this series! Jerry, with your abilities, you can't fail to see the fact that the Spurs are still dominant in this series? The Lakers' victory in this game cannot be replicated! ”
Looking at the Lakers general manager next to him, who was deliberately angry with himself, Popovich couldn't help it this time after Jerry West finished speaking, and turned around and left the arena after snorting directly.
And looking at the back of Popovich leaving, Jerry West, who was still teasing Popovich just now, also showed a hint of a playful smile at this time.
Popovich guessed really right, the undisciplined Lakers general manager was really deliberately angry with him for teasing him, it's not that Jerry West still grabbed the original Spurs at home to put Lin Han and Rodman on the video screen, in fact, Jerry West at this time has been quite pessimistic about the Spurs playing Lin Han and Rodman video at home, and the reason why he deliberately angry Popovich or teased Popovich is mainly because he thinks the Spurs general manager is quite interesting.
In the general manager of the Spurs, Jerry West even saw his own shadow, so, for the general manager of the Spurs, Jerry West is quite concerned, you know, in the NBA, there are 27 general managers alone, which is still active, as for those former general managers, the team's senior executives or former executives, it is really countless, and among these large number of NBA executives, there are only a few who can attract Jerry West's attention, according to some words, Jerry West molesting Popovich This is still Popovich's blessing, and some people who want to be molested by Jerry West are not qualified to do so.
"What a hot guy"
Therefore, for Popovich's rather faceless behavior at this time, Jerry West didn't have too much upset, and he kept smiling on his face, which was no way, the Lakers and Lin Han's performance in this game was too good, or it was too competitive for him, even he didn't expect that Lin Han and the Lakers players would bring him and the team such a victory in this game!
Not to mention Jerry West, even the media of the Lakers, although in recent times because of the Lakers and Lin Han's expression, these Lakers media have a lot of high opinion of Lin Han and the Lakers, and even have become the brains of the team and Lin Han, they absolutely believe that their team can beat the Spurs in this series, but the day after this game, the entire Los Angeles media is still in a pretty big madness!
Especially for Lin Han's hard resistance to David Robinson on the inside line in this game, the media in Los Angeles can't wait to directly take Lin Han's inside strength and the current four centers at this time.
You know, don't look at the league Lin Han and Jordan are the general trend of the league, the popularity of these two players is the highest in the league, but to say that the most famous people in the league are definitely not Lin Han and Jordan, but the four centers composed of Olajuwon, Ewing, O'Neal and David Robinson!
The names of these four are definitely the loudest, after all, in these two teams, although the rise of outside players such as Magic and Jordan in the past decade has brought great glory to outside players, and the status of outside players and inside players in the league has also undergone some reversals, but in this era, most fans, experts and even the media have come from the center era of the year, and there are some instinctive fears for these center players who dominate the league, whether they are fans, experts or media.
Fortunately, at this time, none of the four centers has won the championship, if these four can win the championship, then the reputation of the four centers may be even louder.
You know, Jordan has now won three consecutive championships, and there are not many experts in the league who say that this is already the Jordan era, or that it has transitioned from the magic bird era to the Jordan era, but more willing to say that the league has now reached the era of the four centers, of course, whether it is the era of the four centers or the Jordan era, it can have a reputation that is not inferior or even louder as a non-champion, from which it can be seen how favored the four centers in this era are. Just like the xx king of the entertainment industry in a certain place that Lin Han likes very much, there are not no people in the entertainment industry whose status, strength, and popularity are better than the xx king, but to say that in the entertainment industry in a certain place for now, no one can compare with the four xx kings in terms of momentum, including those international superstars.
Of course, the current status of Lin Han in the NBA is not comparable to the status of the international martial arts superstar in the entertainment industry in a certain place, from the perspective of reciprocity, Jordan and the martial arts superstar are equal or surpassed, but in any case, the Los Angeles media touted Lin Han as the fifth center in the NBA, just like the XX king of the track that forcibly forced the five international superstars into the world, it is quite nondescript, even Lin Han blushed a little when he saw it, Although he thinks that his strength is stronger than Olajuwon and others, he doesn't dare to say that his internal ability is really comparable to Olajuwon and others.
However, after the end of this game, these media who don't have much discipline will not consider what Lin Han's feelings are, although recently, because Lin Han has not played a cancer style since he entered the playoffs, so many American media and experts or reporters have considerable expectations for Lin Han, at this time, many people have given up the behavior of killing or killing Lin Han with a stick, but after this game, even if they don't kill Lin Han, they can't do it.
Because after this game, the real craziest thing is not these media reporters or experts, the real crazy and excited belong to the NBA fans in the United States or the world!
After the end of this game, almost the entire NBA fans in the United States watched the game between the Lakers and the Spurs, after falling into a little crazy, although the Internet in the United States is not so developed now, but computers and the Internet are actually somewhat popular, and many fans have slowly accepted to express their attitudes on the Internet, after all, this is more direct, compared to accepting TV and newspaper interviews, this is more rapid and more lively.
But, after all, the Internet is a new media, although there are already a lot of NBA-themed forums in the United States, but most of the time, these basketball forums are not so popular, and they are also not so hot, after all, even in the NBA, it is not so easy to get everyone to discuss a game, and this game between the Lakers and the Spurs has definitely caused the most extensive discussion among fans in the league!
"It's incredible, I originally thought that when Lin Han was selected for a team some time ago, the league changed the rules for Lin Han to be selected for a team because of Lin Han's five positions, this is just a league hype, from now on, this is not hype at all, if this season's regular season, Lin Han appears more in the center position, then this season's center position has nothing to do with Olajuwon or David Robinson, Lin Han will be a center this season! As long as I think of this, my whole body is excited, but unfortunately, although Lin Han played a lot of centers in the regular season, he still didn't have as many guards in the end, and missed the history of the first outside player in the history of the league to be selected as a center! ”
"Hahahaha, if this really happens, I also think it's quite interesting, but, even if Lin Han didn't be able to achieve a center in the regular season, but in the playoffs, Lin Han's table is also quite exciting, originally before the start of this divisional semifinals, I always thought that this year's playoffs will be two guards vs. three centers, Lin Han and Jordan vs. O'Neal, Olajuwon and David Robinson, and from now on, The Lakers are determined to let Lin Han play center all this season, so the shape of this season's playoffs will become Jordan vs. the three centers Galinham, or as many Los Angeles media say, if Lin Han is regarded as the fifth center in the league, then the shape of this season's playoffs is the new four centers in the Jordan vs. the league! ”
"The league's new big four? Hahahaha, this is very good, but I think the fans in New York will definitely not be happy, of course, the Jazz fans will not be too happy at this time, if Lin Han still stays in the Jazz team, then the Jazz team's interior line this season is simply terrifying, not to mention Jordan, even if Barkley is sent to the Bulls, the Bulls may not be the opponent of the Jazz, if the Jazz keep Lin Han, then for a long time in the future, no team in the league can beat the Jazz! ”
"Well, there is indeed this possibility, however, this game is only the first game between the Lakers and the Spurs, David Robinson did lose to Lin Han, but more because of accidents, if Lin Han can maintain this game in the next game, then I will support Lin Han, Olajuwon, O'Neal or David Robinson to form the league's new four centers, hahahaha"
When this game ended, fans throughout the United States were discussing whether Lin Han could replace Ewing as the fourth largest center in the league, you know, even the most powerful Los Angeles media touted by Lin Han at this time only said that Lin Han was the fifth largest center, although the meaning of raising Lin Han was obvious, but I didn't dare to say that Lin Han could replace one of the original four, and these American fans really didn't have so many worries at all, of course, this can also be seen, Although these American fans were surprised by Linham's victory over David Robinson, they were more dissatisfied with Ewing this season.
After all, as the team that participated in the finals last season, this season's regular season was only eighth, and the first round of the playoffs was swept away by the Bulls.
You know, no matter which team in the league is the fans of any team, their complex for the four centers is quite deep, and the expectations for this combination are also quite deep, and the four players in this combination, the other three are still in the playoffs at this time, only Ewing is out early, how can this be satisfying?
Therefore, the praise of Lin Han by these American fans is more about Ewing's dissatisfaction, believing that his performance this season has tarnished the combination they have been deeply looking forward to.
If Lin Han's performance in the next table is not satisfactory, or his play on the inside line is short-lived, these American fans' praise of Lin Han will disappear in an instant, which is definitely not just a joke!
Of course, Lin Han doesn't know much about this qiē, and now the whole league is crazy about his affairs, and for the Lakers or the Spurs, the two sides have been in a semi-closed state before the start of this series, whether it is the Lakers or the Spurs, after the game, except for routine interviews, the contact between the players on both sides and the outside world is quite limited.
In this case, the Los Angeles Lakers and Spurs also ushered in the second playoff game of both sides! R1152
