Because of Lin Han's comeback, the Jazz's defensive intensity can no longer be described as one or two grades stronger, it should be said that the team's outside defensive intensity has been qualitatively improved, and the Jazz outside line, which was almost blown up by the Rockets when it was pressed in the last game, has once again become like an iron wall!

Especially Sam Kassel, the young Rockets point guard, was extremely good in the last game, although this game was over, but after the first offense was directly assisted by Lin Han, the Rockets' point guard became quiet for the next period of time!

This is not to say that Kassel's psychological quality is not high, but there is really no way, although his strength is very good, passing, controlling, and attacking are very good, but his breakthrough and three points have not been polished to the top, in this case, he can only play jump shots in the middle distance, even if he can get rid of Russell, when he makes a mid-range jump shot, most of the entire court is covered by Lin Han, in this case, he hesitates on the offensive end It is inevitable!

Anyone who encounters Lin Han's incredible defense in the first attack will find it difficult to really regain their confidence in a short period of time!

In this case, it is directly guided, although the Rockets can slightly break through the Jazz's tight defense, but the team's efficiency on the offensive end is not so high, before Olajuwon pulls out the single, with other Rockets players still can't completely open the offense, so when this game starts, when the Rockets are full of confidence to beat the Jazz in this game. Novel: This team actually fell behind from the beginning!

Therefore, when I saw the Rockets players constantly sitting on the court and running back and forth under the Jazz defense, the head coach of the Rockets on the sidelines Tomjanovic was a little sluggish at this time. In this game, he did think that Lin Han would bring great changes to his team after he returned, but he didn't expect such changes and deterrence to be so big.

Although the role played by Drexler in this game is not so important, the opportunity to hold the ball and attack is not high, which is why Lin Han has a lot of energy to focus on helping defense, but even so, Drexler is also a superstar, when a player is defending a superstar. Being able to have such a terrifying deterrent on the help defense is a bit ruinous, which reminds the Rockets head coach of the Bulls' Spider-Man Pippen. At this time, Lin Han is probably not inferior to Pippen at all, right? Even more oppressive in defense!

"This guy?!"

Looking at Lin Han, who is almost omnipresent on the defensive end on the court and scares enough of the Rockets' outside players, Tomjanovic has a somewhat ugly face after he has been coaching the NBA for so long. Throughout the NBA. The only one who can make his rocket so miserable is Lin Han, even Jordan couldn't do it at the beginning, it can be said that his team except for Olajuwon, other players were almost made out of the shadow by Lin Han, first the first team's first scorer Maxwell was so scared by Lin Han that he didn't dare to shoot in front of Lin Han, and then Robert Holly, a young forward, was even more than 6o points in a single game by Lin Han face-to-face, and was directly defeated by Lin Han on the court. As for an outside core like Drexler, who came to the team at the end, the Rockets player was simply miserable by Lin Han in this series. And now in Kassel, at this time, Tomjanovich is really full of resentment towards Lin Han!

In an NBA dominated by veterans, the appearance of a player like Lin Han has made Tomjanovic not know what to say, especially when he sees that those outside players of the Rockets on the court are a little apprehensive when facing Lin Han.

He doesn't blame his players for not having strong willpower, it's not a matter of willpower, but the team as a whole has no advantage, and they have been pressed and beaten, even if they have fighting spirit, they can't wave it, in this overall depressing atmosphere, coupled with Lin Han's deterrence against them, it is very normal for players to become hesitant and uncertain, if the rocket momentum rises, even if Lin Han's deterrent power is great, it is useless, just like the last game, when the Jazz team was dominant in the general situation, Even Ma Long, who has always been a little afraid of Olajuwon, is not playing very tough?

"Jerry, great, we're going to win this game!"

Of course, at this time, the head coach of the Rockets, Tom Janovic, was really helpless, after he made the final personnel adjustments, although it had an effect, but this effect was not enough to change the general trend of the game, which was a very embarrassing thing, and on the other side, the Jazz bench, watching Lin Han return to the team, when the team once again showed unparalleled athleticism and talent in defense, as the team's assistant coach, Phil Johnson was almost excited at this time!

Everyone knows the importance of this game, this game can be said to be the most important game of this series, there is not much room for adjustment on both sides, in this case, whoever wins, who is the real stronger team, although the Jazz team is now leading 2-1, but if this game is lost, it is tied, although the Jazz team can still adjust a little in the future, but it is also extremely dangerous.

In this case, before the start of this game, Jerry Sloan and him were a little under pressure, especially Jerry Sloan, in the first two Jazz team defeated the Rockets, Jerry Sloan's previous criticism was all gone, and all turned into praise and praise for him, and after losing the last game because of no Lin Han, although the head coach of the Jazz team was not criticized by experts across the United States, the cynicism of him in the media can still be seen everywhere, such as what nanny coach, You can't play your own tactics without players and so on.

Although Jerry Sloan has been trying to be a nanny-type head coach in recent times, it is not willing for him to accept such a title, after all. He's trying to do this now just to improve himself, not to stereotype himself, and some cynicism is indeed a bit too much for Jerry Sloan now. However, who made the Jazz head coach lose so badly in the last game without Lin Han, it is simply two completely different teams.

Although it is said that Lin Han's return to the team to win this game cannot completely wash away some of the controversy on him, as long as the team can win, no one will say anything, after all, Phil Jackson is after three consecutive championships. Who would stare at him all day and say he's a babysitter?

So, when Jerry Sloan, who was on the sidelines, saw that the situation in the first quarter of this game was back to the rhythm he wanted, the head coach of the Jazz team was also very excited.

Especially when the first quarter of this game ended. When the Jazz came off the court with a score of 22-16, the Jazz head coach even stood up to greet the players who came down the court.

"Both the Jazz and the Rockets were excellent defensively in this game, but the Rockets need to improve their offensive efficiency now before Olajuwon can pull out and attack. The rest of the team needs to do better. Otherwise, they will probably lose this game! ”

When the first quarter ended, Larry Bird said with a smile as he watched the two sides come off the court.

Judging from the game between the two sides in the first quarter, the two sides played very fiercely in this game, and it can be regarded as an all-out battle, although the Jazz team found their tight defense, but because Olajuwon did not have a personal offense in the first quarter, in this case, the Jazz team except for Lin Han. After a few minutes of playing tight defense, there was basically no more pressing. The two sides entered a regular offensive and defensive battle,

Although the Jazz team is not pressing, but because Lin Han's defensive range on the periphery is too hard, when Lin Han Lin Han's range of defense is very large, other Jazz outside players can of course rest assured to help defend the inside line, to help defend Olajuwon, because they know that even if they don't keep up with the defenders, Lin Han can help them fill the position, in this case, even if the Jazz team starts to play a regular lineup, although the Rockets' offense has improved slightly, but the improvement is not much, it can be said that because of Lin Han's storage, The Jazz's defense played at a very high level.

And in the same way, although the Rockets' offense is restricted, the team's performance on the defensive end is also impeccable, because Olajuwon, the league's most defensive deterrent player, also has a lot of defensive intensity, for example, against Lin Han, that is constantly pinching, Drexler leads the defense, and others come to the pinch, as for whether they will let go of other Jazz players, other Jazz players who are released have the ability to shoot the ball outside, and want to kill the basket to complete the attack on Olajuwon, that's dreaming.

Drexler is one of the few players in the league who can keep up with Lin Han one-on-one, and in this case, the Rockets did a really good job of pinching Linhan, who couldn't finish his offense before the pinching as he used to.

And when Lin Han was choked in this game, the Jazz's offensive focus unexpectedly came to Malone's side, although Malone's offense is also very good, but when most of Malone's offense is medium and long-range, in fact, the Rockets are not very afraid, just like this game, although the Jazz scored better in the first quarter, scoring 22 points, but in the face of the Jazz, such defensive efficiency is already very rebellious!

Because Lin Han only made 4 shots in the first quarter of this game, and scored 5 points on 2-of-4 shooting, it can be regarded as an extremely successful success for a scoring maniac like Lin Han to only score 5 points in the first quarter!

Therefore, although this game was behind at the beginning, the Rockets were successful in defensive strategy, the key is to look at the offense, and the Rockets can't fall behind too much before Olajuwon doesn't take over the offense!

After all, everyone can tell that Olajuwon is ready to take over the game at the last minute! And if there are too many behind, even if Olajuwon can really take over the game at the last minute and there will be no fitness problems, but it is also a question whether he can catch up.

After all, if the Jazz lead too much at the last moment, the Rockets are not able to put pressure on the Jazz on the score, it is impossible for the Jazz to play tight while leading by a large score, and give Olajuwon a lot of single opportunities, and even after seeing Lin Han's huge deterrent power on the outside defensive end, the Jazz can even defend without risking pressing from now on.

In Larry Bird's opinion, Tomjanovic would never have been arranged like this when attacking before the game. For the Rockets' in-out tactics, the outside players can't open the offense, which is also a tactical failure!

"Tomjanovic should have a lot of headaches right now, right? Unexpectedly, Lin Han is no longer an ordinary defensive strongman on the defensive end. It's already a tactical deterrent, it's already a tactical defensive player, and it's already a level of Olajuwon in a certain way."

Looking at Tomjanovich, who was yelling at his players on the bench at this time, Larry Bird also said with a smile.

When the Jazz players came off the court, because the score was ahead, both Lin Han and other Jazz players were very happy in this game, and even Malone, who had been depressed in the previous series, was in a good mood at this time. Because of this game, the Rockets pinched Lin Han, and he became the team's first offensive point for a long time, although in the game he was a little worried that Lin Han would be instigated by Tomjanovic to throw even in the face of the bag. But in the end, it turned out that his worries were a little redundant, Lin Han was very calm on the court, and he didn't seem to care much about his appearance on the offensive end, which made Ma Long also very happy.

Even in the minds of the Jazz team leaders. If Lin Han focuses on defense in the future. A little bit on the offensive end is fine, but obviously, Malone also knows that this idea is impossible to become a reality.

However, even so, the face of the Jazz team leader is quite good-looking, and he has been talking and laughing with Lin Han since he got off the court, which directly leads to the current atmosphere of the Jazz team.

It's just that compared to the good atmosphere on the Jazz side, the Rockets are completely different. When the Rockets players came off the court, Tomjanovic sprayed directly at them. This is extremely rare.

So when the Rockets fans on the scene saw this scene from the big screen, they were a little stunned, but this can't be blamed on Tomjanovic, he paved a lot before the game, but after this game, he didn't see the success he wanted, on the offensive end, they still can't completely break through the blockade caused by Lin Han, just like the Jazz team can't break through Olajuwon, if it's just like that, he will forget it, The key is that the team's offensive players do not show the offensive efficiency of the Jazz, if the Rockets players were a little intimidated by Lin Han's deterrence at the beginning of the game, would it be okay, and Malone faced Olajuwon at the beginning. It's just that after the game starts, after the two sides enter a stable period, Lin Han can't have that kind of deterrent power every ball, and the same is true for Olajuwon, in this case, Malone slowly started to attack in the middle distance, some places away from Olajuwon, because Malone knew that it was impossible for Olajuwon to come out at this distance, but most of the players of the Rocket team did not dare to do this, even if there was a certain distance from Lin Han, as long as they saw Lin Han moving slightly in their direction, they did not dare to attack.

In this case, the Rockets are too passive on the offensive end, and as for the defensive end, Tomjanovic wanted to provoke Malone and Lin Han before the game but also did not succeed, these two guys don't know why the division of labor in this game is extremely clear, and the clarity simply makes Tomjanovic have a brick wall impulse.

That wasn't the case before?

But if Stockton knows what Tomjanovic is thinking at this time, the Jazz point guard will surely burst out laughing.

Whether it is on the offensive end or in other aspects, Tomjanovic's arrangement seems to be a failure at this time, in this case, if he can still deal with it calmly, it is impossible, so when the Rockets players are off the court, the coach, who usually rarely sprays, sprays directly on the bench!

"Shoot, shoot me whenever you get a chance!"

"What are you afraid of? Will that guy be able to cover you every time? ”

"Do you know how cowardly you were when you were on the field just now?!"

Of course, at this time, when the bench players of the Rockets and Jazz were on the court, Tomjanovic was still spraying these players on the court just now, which made Lin Han, who was sitting on the side, feel very interesting.

Not to mention Tomjanovic, even many other managers with extremely short tempers rarely turn on the hair dryer so directly on the court, at least for Lin Han This is the first time he has seen it.

"It seems that Team Rocket is really in a hurry."

Lin Han thought with a smile as he looked at the Rockets players who were being yelled at by Tomjanovich.

Of course. At this time, when Lin Han watched Tomjanovic training on the sidelines, the benches of the Rockets and Jazz on the court were a little difficult to solve, I have to say. Since Elliott and David Wesley came to power, the Jazz's bench lineup is still no longer a weakness, although David Wesley is not as good as he was in the regular season, but Elliott is gradually getting into the groove, of course, although the Jazz's bench is no longer in any problems, but the Rockets are not bad. Led by Maxwell and Mario Alley, the team's bench is just as good.

So, when the two teams finished playing off the bench. When the players from both sides came on the court again, the score became 34-29, and the difference between the two sides was still within the acceptable range of both sides!

Originally, according to the previous games, such a point difference. The Jazz are definitely going to open the full court. But in this game, because the Jazz did a really good job on the defensive end, and because of Kassel's savings, although the half-court pressing defense was also very effective, but because no one could limit Sam Cassel's point, there was a loophole in the pressing, after all, there was only one Stockton, and Stockton could only choose one between Kenny Smith and Sam Cassell. Kenny Smith and Sam Cassel are both 1.91m point guards, both much taller than Stockton. Much shorter than Russell, Stockton posted Kassel for a period of time in the last game, this guy's ball control ability is really good, although Stockton can keep up with the footsteps, and he also has an advantage in experience, but he can't completely choke Cassel, but Russell is choked enough by Kenny Smith's old ball ruffian, and a porous pressing defense is almost the same in effect as the normal defensive effect now, even if it's good, it's a limited time, There is really no need for the Jazz team to consume a lot of physical energy to press the Rockets at this time, after all, who can't see that Olajuwon is now playing dead and waiting for the second half to suddenly have power!

Of course, Olajuwon is now focusing more on the defensive end, and Lin Han is the same at this time, and it is not yet the moment of decisive battle for both sides!

However, although the two sides did not reach the full strength of the decisive moment in the first half, because of Tomjanovich's 'briefing' on the bench just now, when the players of both sides appeared on the court again, almost everyone could see that the Rockets had some changes.

"Huh?"

When Lin Han, as usual, was sticking to Drexler, even if the whole team was not pressing, he was sticking to Drexler with all his might, when he saw Russell in Olajuwon under the help defensive basket, Olajuwon did not force the ball to Cassel outside the three-point line in the face of Polynes and Russell's sandwich, at this time, Lin Han, as usual, was still staring at Drexler, but deliberately moved a step towards Kassel at the top of the arc, which was deliberate by Lin Han, Even in order to let Kassel and them all see, Lin Han even deliberately made a big move by himself.

To put it bluntly, even if Lin Han's physical fitness is very good now, this kind of long-distance sprint defense is still very physically energy-consuming, Lin Han can't really be in place every time, there will always be true and false, so it is this kind of truth and falsehood that scared the Rockets players enough in the first quarter, and finally they were directly turned on the hair dryer by Tomjanovich.

It's just that to Lin Han's surprise, when Lin Han walked out of this kind of lateral movement to make up for the defense this time, Cassel didn't hesitate as before, didn't wait for Russell to have a chance to return to defense, but directly gritted his teeth on the three-point line and decisively pulled out the basketball in his hand!

And seeing Cassel throw this three-pointer, although he didn't hit it in the end, Lin Han was still a little surprised, and even at this time, Tomjanovic on the sidelines was already standing on the sidelines applauding Cassel, it looked like Cassel had shot.

"It seems that Team Rocket has now recovered"

When Cassel gritted his teeth and threw out the basketball in his hand in Lin Han's scare, Larry Bird on the sidelines also smiled a little excitedly.

In this game, because of the Rockets' dual-point guard tactics and a superstar like Drexler on the outside, the Jazz's tight defense is not so threatening to them, and the Jazz are not pressing after this point. In the end, the two sides became a comparison of conventional tactics, which was originally played when conventional tactics were played, judging from the regular season. The Rockets have a slight advantage, although because of the playoffs, Lin Han's defense has become better, and even has reached the level of strategic defensive players with Olajuwon, but even so, the strength of both sides in terms of defensive strength and offensive strength is actually similar when playing conventional tactics.

It should not be the same situation as in the first quarter where the two sides are behind by 6 points after playing, and it can be seen that the fear of these Rockets' outside players for Lin Han is even much higher than the fear of Olajuwon for Malone and other Jazz teams, otherwise such a situation would not have happened.

And from now. Although Kassel is still a little psychologically afraid, it is a good thing that he dares to make a move. After all, he is a young player, even if he is really mature, he can't ask for so much, as long as Kassel can make a move in the face of Lin Han's intimidation. Naturally, the other rocket veterans can't cower either.

Of course. Although being able to make a decisive shot and being able to score are two completely different concepts, just like at this time when the Rockets let go of Russell in order to pinch Lin Han, Russell is also very decisive, but this player who can hit 1 three-pointer on average 3 shots per game in the regular season, that is, the level of one of three, although the shooting percentage looks similar to Van Axel and Maxwell, but the shooter and non-shooter are completely different in deterrence, although the shooting rate is about the same. But if you let Russell throw 6, he may not be able to hit 2, and if you throw 1oo, he may not be able to hit 30. For players like Russell, opponents can put it, because they know that Russell may not be able to score 1o even if he throws 3o in the first 6 of 6, and these shooters of the Rockets are different, the Jazz team really let them go, and there may really be problems, so Tomjanovich's requirements are very simple, you just need to shoot, even if you can't hit at the beginning, but as a shooter, there will always be a time!

In fact, when the game restarted in the second quarter, although the Rockets did experience a short period of discomfort, the Jazz and the Rockets, who were finally playing conventional tactics, finally came to the same level at this time!

I have to say that the strength of these two teams is indeed extremely outstanding, although many people thought that the Rockets, who played conventional tactics more teamly, could have an advantage, but in the first half of this game, when Lin Han no longer showed himself on the offensive end, and Malone and Stockton began to become the tactical core of the team's offensive end, although the team has not played this kind of pure blocking tactics for a long time, but the tacit understanding between these two people is still enough, in this case, in terms of teamwork, without Lin Han's participation, The Jazz didn't lose much to the Rockets!

Although it is said that because Lin Han did not participate too much in the Jazz team's offense, the Jazz team's offense is very rigid, and there is not much talent at all, even in terms of scoring explosiveness, the Jazz team has dropped a notch, but in the current situation, Lin Han is facing the pinch, and it is indeed beneficial for the Jazz team that he does not stand up, which is also the reason why Tom Janovic's teeth are itchy on the sidelines, and it is also the reason why Jerry Sloan is a little surprised.

"I didn't expect Lin Han to really put all his energy on the defensive end? Is this kid really able to suppress his desire to attack? ”

When the players of the two sides were inseparable again, Larry Bird on the sidelines saw Lin Han, who had been defending and assisting in defense since the start of the second quarter and almost gave up attacking, and the former Celtics football king was also a little stunned.

Looks like this kid really wants to win this game?

When the half was over, and the Jazz ended the first half with a score of 45-41 amid the boos of the fans, looking at the Jazz's No. 8, Larry Bird also thought secretly in his heart.

8 points, 1o rebounds, 4 blocks, 2 steals and 2 assists, this is Lin Han's number in the half, and the halftime score is not more than double, which is simply a miracle for Lin Han!

And when Larry Bird saw the number of centers at the level of the Rockets again, he was also stunned, 8 points, 1o rebounds, 4 blocks, 2 steals, and 6 assists?!

In addition to the number of assists, Lin Han and Olajuwon's numbers are exactly the same?!

After a short pause, Larry Bird, who came back to his senses, laughed thoughtfully when he saw Olajuwon and Lin Han walking off the court. (To be continued!)
