Chapter 472: Determination!
Of course, in the face of Tomjanovic's complaints, the magician who was already on the court at this time and was standing in the center circle and was really ready to jump with Olajuwon naturally didn't know. △ Top Novel,www.
Because Rodman did not start in this game, the responsibility of the Lakers' jump ball in this game was handed over to the Magic, and looking at the former little brother Olajuwon in front of him, the Magic also sighed, he really didn't think that he would one day jump with Olajuwon in the middle circle.
Not to mention that the magician didn't expect it, even Olajuwon looked at the defender in front of him and was a little speechless, although he was sure that he could win this jump ball, but it also depends on the opponent, if the opponent is a player like Magic, then even if he wins, there is no sense of accomplishment.
"Boy, you are really a coward to ask Magic to help you jump the ball"
Of course, in the face of the Magic, it is difficult for Olajuwon to express his dissatisfaction, and he can't express his disdain, but for Barkley, the leading player of the Rockets team is absolutely impossible to have any scruples when looking at the Lin Han in front of him.
Originally, Barkley was not ready to continue to fight with Lin Han, after all, he and the two teammates of the Rocket team didn't know how many times they had discussed, although their strength could add up to crush Lin Han, but their poisonous tongues could not crush Lin Han together, and even every time they quarreled, they were humiliated by Lin Han.
In this case, they are not shaking, so naturally it is impossible to look for abuse again and again. Only this time, Barkley couldn't help but laugh at Lin Han.
And after taunting Lin Han. Barkley was already waiting for Lin Han's poisonous tongue to fight back, and he was quite aware of Lin Han's revenge. But this time, to Barkley's great surprise, in the face of his own ridicule, Lin Han not only did not fight back, but did not even look at him, Lin Han's eyes at this time have always been quite complicated staring at the magician who is preparing to jump with Olajuwon at this time.
Although it would be quite unpleasant to be attacked by Lin Han's poisonous tongue, there is no doubt that if Lin Han ignores it, it will also be very unpleasant.
"Damn boy!"
So. At this time, looking at Lin Han, who only had Magic in his eyes, Barkley was quite unhappy, and even the leading player of the Rockets was ready to wreak havoc on the Lakers' basket after the game began.
For the Lakers' almost suicidal change of formation, the happiest is Barkley, after all, although Rodman can't do anything to him, but after all, Rodman's pestering kung fu is a must in the league, although he and Olajuwon are suppressing Lin Han most of the time, but this does not mean that they have to face Lin Han throughout the game. After all, Lin Han's defense is not bad, even when Olajuwon faces Lin Han, the offensive efficiency cannot be guaranteed to reach more than sixty percent, and Barkley may not even be able to guarantee fifty percent himself. In this case, although the two did suppress Lin Han most of the game, they also faced Rodman for a large part of the game. If you change the time against Rodman to the Magic, it is definitely something that makes Barkley quite happy. After all, magicians have a reputation though. But after all, he is old and his physical fitness is not as good as Rodman, even if he can suppress his height, he is definitely not comparable to Rodman in terms of defensive efficiency, unless the Magic can come up with the momentum of playing center in the rookie season that year, but it is obvious that even if the Magic wants to show the momentum of the year, this seems to be weak!
Therefore, at this time, Barkley has secretly vowed in his heart to take revenge on Lin Han and the Lakers when he waits.
Of course, in the face of Barkley's careful thinking, of course Lin Han didn't know, at this time his whole person's attention was on the magician, it should be himself standing in the middle circle at this time, but before the start of this game, the magician snatched this task, and the reason given by the magician is very simple, in order for the team to be imposing from the beginning, he can fail, but Lin Han can never fail, he can lose to Olajuwon, but Lin Han can never lose to Olajuwon.
This is a very common reason, in the NBA, it is quite common for the team's junior brother to block the knife for the boss, but is the magic the younger brother of Lin Han? Although Magic is indeed a role player close to the core in the Lakers now, who really dares to treat him as a role player?
It's just that just when Lin Han fell into his own thoughts, the Magician and Olajuwon's jump ball also began.
Crushing, absolutely crushing!
When the referee on duty Javi threw the basketball in his hand into the air, Olajuwon almost crushed the jump ball and jumped down, and while looking at the magician who was crushed by Olajuwon at this time, Lin Han took a deep look at Olajuwon, and almost turned around expressionlessly and went back to the defense directly, at this time Lin Han still didn't look at Barkley, and looked at Lin Han, who quickly returned to defense, Barkley almost gritted his teeth again at this time.
After the magician failed to jump the ball, the game officially began.
Because this game is the Rockets' first game on the road, although this team has the intention to suppress the Lakers as soon as they come up, just like the first two games, not giving the Lakers any chance to fight back.
But obviously, in order to be able to open their offense as soon as they come up in this game, after all, in an away game, if they can't open the offense, it is quite passive, and for these bigwigs of the Rockets, they are too familiar with this situation.
Therefore, although the Rockets had the opportunity to play a fast break after the successful jump ball, Dough Reaves still slowed down after taking the ball, especially this time, the Rockets played positional offense, and the advantage was even greater than in the previous two games!
After all, at this time, the Lakers' interior second man changed from Rodman to Magic.
Therefore, when the Rockets slowly advanced the basketball to the frontcourt, Larry Bird and Collins on the sidelines smiled bitterly when they saw the Rockets like this.
"A lineup like the Lakers can really strengthen on the offensive end. But the defense has become more vulnerable, and the Rockets haven't played much team basketball in these games. Although this team is still playing inout, it is a very simple and crude connection between the two superstars inside or a single. This is the opportunity that the Lakers can get, but if they want to seize such an opportunity, the Lakers can have other options, and their choice seems to be magnifying their disadvantages, knowing that the opponent's offense is more of a personal interior single, but they also weaken their own interior defense strength, as if they are giving the opponent's singles a chance."
Looking at the cooperation between the Rockets at this time, when the basketball in Dougrivers' hand came to Barkley's hand, Larry Bird was also a little speechless. Because at this time Barkley is facing no one else, the official game seems to be a defensive magician!
"Magic, I didn't want to do anything to you, but since you sent it yourself, then don't blame me, if you want to blame you, you are now Lin Han's teammate!"
Bullying an aging magician, that's not something Barkley wants to do, after all. He and the magician have no grudges in recent days, and even when the magician is still one of the captains of the dream team, he can be regarded as his former boss, but. Since it was delivered to the door, Barkley would never be polite, after all. The magician is Lin Han's teammate at this time!
And looking at Barkley, who was almost full of excitement at this time, the Lakers fans on the sidelines really couldn't stand it. Especially when they saw Barkley pushing the Magic to the basket step by step, these Lakers fans looked at Barkley even more. That look can be called killing, originally at this time, the Lakers fans in the audience were shouting Lin Han's name, but at this time, the entire Lakers home fans were already frantically booing Barkley.
In the face of such a situation, Barkley acted as if he didn't hear it, after feeling that he had pushed the Magic to a rather deep position, the leading player of the Rockets seemed to not just want to simply score this goal, after coming to the basket, looking at the Magic who still maintained his position, the Rockets' power forward seemed to want to turn around and face the Magic!
"Although Magic can't stop Barkley's big ass, his defensive position and defensive experience are very good, and he didn't give Barkley too many opportunities, but with Barkley's strength, he can still attack, and he can now turn his back to face the Magic's sideways flying pick-and-roll, this move is quite pure"
Magic's defense is very hard, this is for sure, many expert reporters on the scene thought that Magic's game of defense was just a little interesting, after all, Rodman's defense in the first two games was not very good, in this case, do you still expect Magic to do better than Rodman on the defensive end, this is of course impossible.
Therefore, for almost everyone on the scene, the Lakers' suicidal change of formation is more just a fight on the offensive end, and the defense may be really bad, but it may not necessarily be opened on the offensive end, so the Magic must focus more on the offensive end.
After all, just like the Rockets' offense, although Olajuwon and Barkley face Lin Han most of the time to suppress Lin Han, but many times they also have to face Rodman, and the Lakers' offense is the same, although Princeton is based on Lin Han as the first core, most of the team's offensive organization is done by Lin Han, but the same other large part of the team organization is to be done by Magic, if really all the qiē is done by Lin Han, then the opponent's defense will all pounce on Lin Han, Lin Han's pressure was too great.
It's just that, although everyone's expectations for Magic's defense are not very high, but judging from the first offense of this game, Magic seems to be quite good at defending Barkley, not only did he use his height to cover Barkley, but he even didn't lose his position in the defensive position, just this point, Magic is better than Rodman, after all, because of his height, when facing Barkley, he really can't cover the other party, and he can't stop Barkley's big ass in strength, The only defensive advantage that can be had is that Rodman's defensive position is quite good, and every shot from Barkley is not so easy.
And although the Magic is not as good as Rodman in terms of defensive positional sense and ability, it is definitely not a colander. Although Magic is not known for his defense, even when it comes to facing those whirlwind little point guards. Magic will struggle quite a bit, but when it comes to Barkley. Magic still has some buffer space, at least with height and then a good sense of defensive position, and the restriction on Barkley can be done a little, but the only question is how many rounds Magic can maintain this level of defense.
Originally, generally speaking, when the Magic showed such a pretty good defensive level, Barkley, as the opponent, should be quite restrained at this time, but obviously. When the leading player of the Rockets team faces a big man like O'Neal, he has to use his big ass and coach O'Neal to compete who is the league's No. 1 interior back, in this case, if he encounters such a small obstacle as Magic, Barkley retreats, then he is not Barkley, but Malone, and the difference between Malone and Barkley is. Malone is smarter and flexible, while Barkley is a real league's famous tendon.
Moreover, the first offense in this game, the Rockets are going to use this offense to open up the situation. If you retreat in this way, then you will directly admit that your tactical arrangement and playing style ideas in this game are failures.
What's more, although the Magician's defense is very good. This time, he could only play the difficult back-to-back pick-and-roll, but in order to ensure the success of his first offense. It's impossible for Barkley to let the Magic get his wish, what kind of offense is the highest success rate for Barkley!
No doubt. That's a dunk!
So, after pushing to the basket, there was not much space, especially after seeing the other Lakers players shrink from all sides, Barkley no longer had enough time and space to force a head-on turn to dunk the Magic, but in the end, the Rockets' leading player still chose to do so!
And when he saw Barkley almost forcibly squeeze away the Magic dunk, even media experts such as Larry Bird on the sidelines had their mouths so big that they could put several eggs, not to mention these experts, even Lin Han and Olajuwon, who were entangled on the side, were stunned.
I'm afraid that in Olajuwon's mind, will it even be necessary for Barkley to play so big?
It's just clear that Barkley, who is quite excited this time, is indeed playing quite big!
"Here's your chance!"
Just when time and space did not allow, Barkley could only forcibly turn half, and when the turn was almost into the magician's arms, Barkley only made a slight effort, and the magician, who was in a very good position, was leaned away by Barkley for a space, and after seeing this space, Barkley's eyes almost lit up!
And looking at the magician who was leaned away by Barkley so easily at this time, Lin Han, who originally blocked Olajuwon behind him, was stunned for a moment, and when Lin Han set his eyes on the magician, when he saw that the Lakers' point guard was still staring at Barkley at this time, Lin Han seemed to think of something, and at this time, a huge roar suddenly came from behind Lin Han.
"Charles, be careful!"
"What?!"
And at the same time as this roar, when Barkley turned around and leaned the magician away for a period of space, seeing the magician who was a little out of balance and retreating at the moment when Barkley jumped, the defender who was a little out of balance actually stopped directly, not only stopped, but also jumped up directly!
Almost at the same time as hearing Olajuwon's reminder, Barkley almost watched as the basketball that smashed into the basket with his right hand was jumped by the magician later, and he took advantage of his height advantage of being almost 10 centimeters taller than him when the basketball was about to come to the basket, and was slapped out by the magician with one hand!
And when the magician took Barkley, who was almost terrified at this time, the entire Forum Arena was almost suffocated!
The magician actually risked Barkley one-on-one!
And just when the whole court was a little incredible and suffocated, only two people were paying attention to the situation of the Magic and Barkley at this time, one was Lin Han, and the other was leaning behind Lin Han, and even noticed that the Magic was seducing Barkley's Olajuwon earlier than Lin Han!
Therefore, just when the Magic fanned the basketball in Barkley's hand to the position of Lin Han and Olajuwon in front of him, Lin Han and Olajuwon moved at the same time almost behind this big hat.
"Damn!"
Although the magician's cover is flying in the direction of Olajuwon and Lin Han, it is still a little biased on the route, at least not so positive, originally if the route is very positive, and it is high, then it is quite beneficial for Olajuwon, but this route is not so high, not so positive, but a little downward, in this case, Olajuwon can almost only watch Lin Han, who was originally leaning in front of him, directly turn around like a thunderbolt and turn him around, And then rushed out like a flying arrow!
If Lin Han's thunder turned around and went to the basket, even if Olajuwon was passed by Lin Han, he could easily cover Lin Han, after all, the space under the basket was so little, even if he was passed by Lin Han, Olajuwon could cover the entire basket as long as he took a slight step, but obviously, Lin Han's turn this time was not to go down to the basket, but to the front court, and when Lin Han picked up the basketball on the ground after Olajuwon, when he killed the Rockets frontcourt, when the other players on the field reacted, At this time, only Drexler in the entire Rocket team can keep up with Lin Han!
I have to say that Drexler's reaction is also quite outstanding, and it is obvious that although the leading guard of the Rockets team was not also stunned by the Magic's hat, most of this guy's attention is definitely on Lin Han!
It's just obvious that even if Drexler noticed Lin Han, and even when the two rushed through the middle circle, they were almost neck-to-neck, but after opening the super fast attack skill of moving forward, although the two are the same in speed, the power in impact is completely different, and the two of them have played this side by hand more than once last season, almost every time Drexler tries to have physical contact with Lin Han, he will be directly knocked away by Lin Han, Drexler's speed is as pure speed as lightning speed, Even at his peak, Drexler's pure speed was faster than Lin Han's, and if it was a peak Drexler, he might be able to go around to Lin Han's body to block Lin Han.
But now Drexler, it is quite difficult to be able to go hand in hand with Lin Han, but it is obvious that when the two sides are neck and neck, as a defensive side, if he does not lean towards Lin Han, then his return defense is meaningless.
And when he leaned directly towards Lin Han like last season, it almost produced the same result, and even this result was even more terrifying than last season, you know, now Lin Han has an infinite talent, and his impact is stronger than last season!
In this case, almost all the players on the court, and all the spectators on the sidelines, almost opened their mouths wide to see that Drexler, who had been bullied enough by the Lakers and Eddie Jones in the previous two games, was directly knocked out by Lin Han, and saw that Drexler who was knocked away, and Lin Han, who directly stepped on the free throw line and slammed the basketball into the basket with a half-step one-handed glide and slam the basketball into the basket after hitting Drexler.
"It's terrifying, after Lin Han rushed up, it was like a small tank!"
After the split was completed, Lin Han flew directly to the outside of the field, and also directly at the bottom line camera reporter and the fans who cheered wildly again in the stadium roared loudly and vented.
"It looks like this game might really be quite different!"
Looking at Lin Han, who seemed to be venting all the gloom of the previous two games at this time, and the Lakers players in the backcourt frantically surrounding the Magic at this time, Larry Bird, who was quite worried after the start of the game on the sidelines, finally showed a smile on his face at this time.
