Chapter 158: Lin Han, who is about to become independent
(In the previous chapter, a book friend said: Is the relationship between Kukoc and Pippen really like that, is Kukoc really not dealing with Jordan?) Is there really a faction inside the Bulls? Did Grant and Pippen really go from being good friends to enemies, and are Pippen's personalities really weird? Well, almost, after all, the fisherman has not personally experienced it, and he doesn't dare to write it scribble, but if the fisherman really wrote, then there must be something in this regard, at that time, the internal relationship of the bull is really interesting, if you are interested, you can find out for yourself, the fisherman also made a little explanation in the book review area, and finally, ask for a monthly pass again, ask for subscription)
Recently, because of the Jazz winning streak, almost the eyes of the entire American sports world are focused on the NBA, and at this time, after Pippen continued to speak to the outside world, it almost made the already extremely crazy NBA public opinion even more terrifying, yes, it should be described as horror.
As the best defensive player among the league's outside players, plus Pippen, who has led the team to perfection this season, his reputation is very high at this time, one of the biggest favorites in MVP, the same Lin Han is the regular season scoring champion this year, and his average points per game have broken through the 33-point mark after he scored 48 points against the king, to 34 points.
No matter how many people are still talking about Lin Han's overshooting, one thing is certain, Lin Han is indeed the most outstanding player in the NBA outside players now, and it is acceptable to call Lin Han the strongest offensive player.
A player with the strongest defense can challenge a player with the strongest offense, which can be extremely exciting no matter how you look at it, after all, Pippen is not comparable to the likes of Richmond or Payton now, so to speak, except for Barkley. Lin Han's highest-level direct opponent is likely to be Pippen, and the two duels between Lin Han and Barkley, one is Barkley playing outside. Once it was Lin Han who played the inside line, in fact, neither of them was completely swinging. So, although Barkley is a little higher than Pippen in terms of level, it is also very different.
Of course, the game between the two teams has not yet started at this time, and it will be some time before the two teams meet each other in this game, on January 3o, the final game of the Jazz's road trip to the East again, against the Bulls.
After defeating the king on January 14. The Jazz's schedule is actually very difficult, in the next few games, the Jazz need to play at home against the Eastern powerhouse Cavaliers, and then away to challenge the weak team Timberwolves and the Houston Rockets, and after these two games, the Jazz will return to the home court to face the powerhouse Seattle Sound and the current powerhouse Warriors in the West, and after playing these two games, the Jazz will also officially embark on their own road trip to the East, the first game in the East is to play the Nets, and the second game is to play the Pistons. The third and most important game was against the Bulls on January 3o.
Starting with the home game against the Cavaliers on January 16th. By January 3o away to the Bulls, in 14 days, the Jazz need to play eight games, and there are many strong teams such as the Rockets and Sound in these eight games, plus Malone and other Jazz players are not in good shape, it can be said that the outside world is not optimistic that this team can continue to win in such a schedule.
At least the game between the Jazz and the Cavaliers on January 16 is a very difficult game. Don't look at the two teams that just met not long ago, the Jazz beat the Cavaliers away. At that time, the knights were not in place, and their tactical play was not in place. It can be said that it was completely blinded by the Jazz's run-and-bomb style of play, which made this team that obviously wanted to have an inside line and an outside line, but in the end it lost so badly at home, and was beaten so badly by a player like Lin Han who made a cameo appearance on the inside line, which is simply a shame for this team.
Therefore, in this game, after the Cavaliers came to Utah as a guest, it is absolutely impossible to be as 'stupid as in the previous game', and at this time, the Jazz's biggest weapon, the run-and-bomb tactics, may also be running.
In this case, facing a knight who is as long as a forest is a huge challenge for both Sir and Lin Han personally.
"Lin, I said that you kid obviously has such excellent ball control skills, how can your passing vision and passing accuracy be so poor?"
In the training tube of the Jazz team, Stockton, who was wearing a training uniform at this time, was giving Lin Han special training, and in the face of the rookies in this league, Stockton really had a feeling of wanting to vomit.
He has given Lin Han special training not once or twice, when Lin Han first entered the team, he gave Lin Han special training on defense, special training on small actions on the court, it can be said that Lin Han is talented in this area, very powerful.
He didn't know if Lin Han had a very good defense before, but he pretended that he couldn't defend, but, at that time, Stockton really couldn't see that Lin Han's eye defense was deliberately pretended, because with Stockton's IQ, if Lin Han really pretended to be so good, so that he couldn't even see it at all, then Lin Han would have gone to the wrong place when he came to the NBA, and this kid could have gone to Hollywood to be an actor.
Therefore, many American media or fans, when mentioning Lin Han's things, will laugh and say that Lin Han's skills are innate, because they absolutely do not believe that a guy who has been in contact with basketball for less than two years can have such terrifying strength, although this statement is a joke.
But Stockton agrees with one thing, that is, Lin Han is indeed a natural genius, if Lin Han's skills are not something he was born with, but something that he only has after learning from him, it only takes two months for Lin Han to transform from a look defender to one of the best outside defenders in the league.
Especially in the previous game with the Bucks, Lin Han faced Wenbeck when he was a small action triple hit, this is a difficult action even for him to complete, this kind of small action triple hit or several consecutive hits is not a basketball skill, but an experience and way of the game, good use, not worse than some bull fork skills, to be able to reach such a height in such a short period of time, at that time he really felt that Lin Han was simply better than the blue.
Arguably. As Lin Han's teacher, Stockton really appreciates Lin Han's talent on the defensive end, take a look at what happened to Richmond in the last game in front of Lin Han's full defense. That picture is simply miserable. If it had been placed two months ago, Lin Han and Richmond had met, and it was estimated that Richmond would have vomited.
It's just that what makes Stockton extremely speechless is that Lin Han's talent on the defensive end is really unbelievable.
But the talent and ability to pass the ball or organize the attack almost makes Stockton feel like he has no place to be.
As one of the best passing masters in the NBA right now, although averaging points per game. Stockton has set a new low in the last six years, and the Jazz don't need him to score too many points now, but the number of assists is a new high in his career, and the best season in which Stockton averaged assists per game in his career was the 89-9o season.
Of course, don't look at the amazing number of assists at that time, but for Stockton, his passing ability and vision are much better now than they were then. The main reason was that Karl Malone hit the highest shooting percentage and highest scoring percentage of his career that season, averaging 31 points per game on 56 percent shooting.
And in the following seasons, as the overall strength of the Jazz team became weaker and weaker. When Malone spends more and more energy on defense or other aspects, Malone's scoring efficiency and average points per game have actually been going down, so Stockton's assists have been going down in recent seasons, and even fell from more than 14 per game to 12 last season, you know, in the last six seasons, in addition to last season's average of 12 assists per game, the previous five seasons. ,。
This is also the reason why the Jazz and Stockton were scolded very badly last season. Because the Jazz's strength has declined, Malone can't just score. And Malone can't just score, Stockton, who is considered the top point guard in the league, actually didn't take Malone's gun and re-use his organizational skills to drive the team, but continued to be attached to Malone, Malone scored more, he assisted more, and Malone scored less, he assisted less.
This almost makes many experts disdain for Stockton to a certain extent, Malone and Stockton are one, the two have been fighting for so many years, and it is normal for them to be interdependent, since it can be said that Stockton is dependent on Ma Long, it can also be said that Ma Long is dependent on Stockton.
But anyway, Stockton's table last season was like a functional point guard, who was considered to be able to only play blocking and dismantling, and couldn't make his teammates better, and it was very uncomfortable for such a point guard to put on a league superstar, although others didn't say it explicitly, but how could they not understand the meaning of the words, isn't it just saying that Stoke is a number jù brush, brushing jù can be, but counting jù can't lead the team.
Therefore, at that time, although Stockton had been very hung up, Stockton himself didn't like himself at that time, or didn't think that when he was at his peak, his strength was also at his peak, although he didn't want to admit it, Stockton also agreed with the words of those basketball experts, he did not be able to use his assists and organize offense to drive the team when the Jazz's strength declined, and he still paid too much attention to blocking or couldn't try other ways of playing.
It's just that he knows that in addition to his own reasons, the main reason is that the Jazz only had one offensive strength in the first place, and who else could he find besides Malone, even if he wanted to change his style of play, Malone, the team or Jerry Sloan would not be willing.
And now, although he has been worried about Lin Han stealing the ball for a while now, because of Lin Han's appearance, he has been completely liberated from the 'Black Sea' of blocking and demolition.
Although Lin Han has been hacked by many media experts this season, those guys in Black Stockton in the past, no one has been Black Stockton anymore this season, because Stockton has not made people feel that he has used Malone to brush up jù anymore, because the Jazz have used Stockton and the core, Malone and Lin Han as arrows to play a lot of run-and-gun tactics this season, and it was considered to be a brush jù blocking and dismantling in the past. It doesn't account for that much of the overall run-and-gun tactics, but at the very least, the Jazz's offense this season does give people a sense of brightness.
And Stockton has also transformed from a functional point guard into a point guard with its own system. What system does it come with? Naturally, it is the shelling system.
Similarly, Stockton's scalpel-like scalpel-like passes to Linham or other Jazz players countless times this season were also something that Stockton didn't have before, overnight. Stockton's ability to have such a change is naturally not out of thin air, it's just that the Jazz didn't need his imaginative passing in the past, simplicity and simplicity are the best means to cooperate with Malone, not that he doesn't have flashy abilities.
Therefore, this season's Stockton is now extremely confident in his passing ability, and in this case, the head coach of the Jazz also asked him to coach Lin Han on how to use his passing ability on the court.
For such a task. Stockton is very happy to accept it, because he is very confident in his own ability and talent for Lin Han, and even put down his arrogance, as long as three days, he can make Lin Han a qualified offensive core who can play the ball in the face of the bag.
At that time, Stockton's tone of confidence even surprised Lin Han on the side, because Lin Han himself did not have such great confidence in himself.
And as it turned out, Stockton really took it for granted, and Stockton, who had completely established himself as a master of passing this season, almost cried when he faced Linham's talent for passing and playmaking.
Obviously. The Jazz's leading point guard really doesn't know that Lin Han really doesn't have any talent in basketball, not just his previous defensive talent. There is also no talent for organization and passing, as for Lin Han's ability to complete the formation of his own defense so quickly, it is not that he is talented, but that the system helps.
In this case, Lin Han, who has reached the top of his passing and organization, is naturally unlikely to make any progress, as long as he has not broken the shackles of talent and potential, it is impossible for Lin Han to progress in the real world without attribute points and skill cards.
What Stockton passed on to him, what Lin Han was able to use was some experience on the field. For example, when is the best time to pass the ball in the bag, and how to pass the ball and how to grasp the wrist is the best wait. Even if Lin Han's theoretical knowledge and experience were all memorized, it would not be possible to achieve the effect that Stockton wanted. Because Lin Han couldn't do it at all.
So at this time, on the Jazz's training ground, there was a very interesting scene, Stockton, who has always shown a gentleman and elegant image in the team, actually stood next to Lin Han and watched Lin Han's passing almost with his teeth and claws, and he jumped like thunder.
"John, I think you're still too anxious right now"
At this time, even Ma Long on the side couldn't stand it with a smile, he really didn't expect that the talented Lin Han was so bad in the talent of passing, and when Stockton faced Lin Han, he was actually powerless, looking at Lin Han with an innocent face at this time and Stockton who was bursting up, Ma Long felt a little cool in his heart.
"I don't want to be anxious, but after the game between us and the king, as long as a normal person can see where the problems of our team are, before Lin Han because of you and me, not many teams will attack Lin Han, he can use his singles to attack the team, and now, I bet that the next game Cavaliers will definitely contain Lin Han, in this case, if Lin Han's scoring efficiency is low, the Jazz will not win!"
Although the Jazz have a very open view of the outcome of the game now, neither Stockton nor Malone is willing to lose, after all, such a chance to win in a row, it is really uncomfortable to say that there is no one, and now the only thing they can expect is that Lin Han can survive this period of time when they can't do it, but for now, the possibility that Lin Han can survive this period of time is not very large.
Even in the future, after this kid has no Ma Long to cover him for, it is not certain that the number will be extremely miserable.
In fact, Lin Han now averages 34 points per game, and the shooting rate is as high as more than 5o%, which should have given most of the credit to Malone or Stockton, if it weren't for these two, Lin Han would have been caught up and killed.
This is also the reason why many people still think that although Lin Han is very good, his strength is like that, and it is estimated that Pippen looks down on Lin Han very much. After all, any quasi-superstar shooting guard by Marlon Stockton's side can take 27 shots per game at will, and anyone can average more than 3o points per game. There are even some, like Richmond. If he replaces Lin Han's position in the Jazz, and can have so many opportunities, Richmond even thinks that he can average more than 35 points per game, because the Kings guard has not made 24 shots in all the games in his career that have scored 4o, so before the game against the Jazz, he actually disdained Lin Han's offense.
It's just that after the game, the Kings guard shouldn't have such thoughts. However, Lin Han's number jù is indeed a bit inflated, this is a fact, and Lin Han also agrees, and even this is why Ma Long is the first in the MVP list and he is the second, Lin Han did not prove that he can have such a number of jù after Ma Long and Stockton.
And now, the opportunity is coming, and Lin Han can use it to prove his chance, just. In the face of his upcoming bag career, Lin Han is not as concerned as Stockton at this time.
At this time, if Stockton knew Chinese, he would definitely think of a proverb. The emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry.
Lin Han is really not in a hurry now, because although it is a fact that the bag will greatly reduce his offensive efficiency, when he is surrounded by many people, it is difficult for his brave breakthrough to enter the interior again and again, and his violent flow of play may be curbed, but now many people are saying that Lin Han's violent flow seems to have forgotten that Lin Han was considered by many people to be the league's first-class shooting ability before the violent flow, and Lin Han started with shooting.
The current Lin Han is no longer a player who can be blocked casually, especially on the offensive end. He is confident that his kaleidoscopic approach is capable of handling any situation.
It's a big deal to play Kobe Bryant's turnaround and backward jumper at the end, even if it is twenty times of iron. Thirty times, or even forty times. Lin Han will also be able to score, and will not be completely ruined, as some people say.
If you want Lin Han to sink, it is actually very difficult now.
"John, don't worry, even if I'm not very good at passing the ball right now, I don't think I can't help the team when I'm in the middle of the pack.
Looking at Stockton, who was a little angry, Lin Han said with a smile.
Just looking at Lin Han with a smile on his face, Stockton felt that this kid was a little unreliable.
With no passing ability in the face of the bag, what is this kid going to use to help the team?
Stockton now feels that Lin Han is a little unreliable, and when January 16 comes, before the game between the Jazz and the Cavaliers, Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan released the news in advance that this game, as the team's big boss, Karl Malone will be rested.
And when the news was announced by Jerry Sloan, almost all the reporters on the scene were in an uproar, Malone took turns to rest, although they could guess that in the last game with the King, in the face of the King's sloppy inside, Malone scored 17 points in 6 of 19, although it seems that the number jù is very good, but such a low efficiency can be seen in the opening few Jazz games of this season.
In this case, Malone is indeed not suitable for continuous games, and there is no need for the Jazz to use Malone as an iron man after having Lin Han, which can also be seen as Jerry Sloan's recognition and trust in Lin Han.
It's just that no matter what Jerry Sloan's recognition and trust is for Lin Han, this group of reporters doesn't have the same sentiment as Jerry Sloan, they don't care, whether Jerry Sloan trusts or tests Lin Han in this game, they just want to care about whether Lin Han can really play the same crazy game when he takes on the Jazz offense alone in this game.
What is a crazy race? It's very simple, no matter whether Lin Han's performance is good or bad when he leads the team alone, such a game is very crazy, as long as Lin Han's performance is not mediocre.
It's just how to see that Lin Han's appearance in this game is not mediocre, this is also very simple, as long as you know in advance what the attitude of the head coach of the knights towards Lin Han's game is.
If the Cavaliers' attitude towards Lin Han is the attitude of the Pistons towards Jordan back then, then Lin Han will either play legend or play badly, and it is impossible to be mediocre.
Therefore, soon after Jerry West announced that Malone would take a break in this game with the Cavaliers, these reporters moved almost immediately, and all of them killed the head coach of the Cavaliers, Mike Fratro, the 47-year-old NBA coach's answer is also very simple, the head coach of the Cavaliers directly made it clear that the Cavaliers will come up with all the methods they can to target Lin Han in this game.
The league's best coach of the year, the legendary head coach of the Hawks, has another identity, this guy is an authentic New Yorker, not only a New Yorker, but also an assistant coach with the New York Knicks.
If such a resume wants him to have a good impression of Lin Han, it is impossible.
So the last time the two teams met, the head coach of the Cavaliers specially designed tactics for Lin Han, at that time Lin Han was playing a cameo to play the inside, although in the end his design for Lin Han failed, but although Lin Han was excellent in that game, Lin Han's number jù was actually not very good, just 2O+1O, compared to the 3O+2O of the Bucks, it is simply incomparable.
And this time, in the absence of Ma Long, even if this group of reporters didn't ask, the head coach of the Cavaliers didn't plan to let Lin Han go, even if the Cavaliers left the other Jazz players alone in this game, they had to kill Lin Han first.
And before this game, many of his New York friends were in contact with him.
Of course, at this time, the head coach of the Cavaliers was already preparing to make Lin Han look good in this game, and when this game was about to start again on January 16, Lin Han was about to usher in the first game in his career without Ma Long, which still surprised many NBA fans across the United States.
There's no way, Lin Han has been comparing with Jordan, when Jordan was alone, there was no superstar to support him, Jordan's crazy numbers were all real knives and real guns rushed forward by himself, and Lin Han, although his strength is also very good, the number is not worse than Jordan's, but in the eyes of many people, Lin Han still can't compare with Jordan.
Especially those Jordan fans, these fans who used to support Lin Han, are now quite dissatisfied with Lin Han, especially after seeing Lin Han's appearance become more and more crazy, and now they have long concentrated their hatred for Hardaway on Lin Han.
And before this game, after the two head coaches released such words, the most excited in addition to the group of reporters were these Jordan fans.
They can't wait for Lin Han to be embarrassed in front of the world, you know, now Jazz is still winning, every game of Jazz is broadcast live in the United States and even in many countries around the world, if Lin Han really plays extremely badly in this game, it is not just a matter of shame to throw people all over the world!
"Hmph, if that kid hadn't been brought out by us, would he be where he is today? Want to be with Michael by? Even if there is no drama in the next life, a baby hiding in swaddling clothes and has never experienced wind and rain"
Lin Han is a baby in swaddling clothes who has not experienced wind and rain or a flower in a greenhouse, this is the view of many people now, and the game between the Jazz and the Cavaliers, Lin Han is about to usher in the first chance of his career to face the wind and rain.
This time, there really wasn't anyone who could shelter him from the wind and rain on the court. (To be continued)
