After the Jazz defeated the Trail Blazers in two consecutive games at home, they became the first team in the playoffs to win two consecutive games to get a match point, but because the game between the Trail Blazers and the Jazz was too speechless, the slow pace of the two teams in the game, the crazy singles brought up by the Trail Blazers, and the various tactical fouls in the game that occurred in order to prevent the opponent from playing the offensive rhythm.

So on the second day of the second game between the Jazz and the Trail Blazers, although the Jazz won the game and got the pre-game, the team suffered a huge amount of criticism, and even some people who were originally very supportive of the Jazz were a little dissatisfied with this team at this time.

"It was one of the ugliest playoff games I've ever seen, and although it was a typical playoff game, slow, dull, lethargic, and if it weren't for the long-range three-pointers that Lin Han had from time to time to refresh people, this game wouldn't have left me with any good effects."

This is the Celtics legend after this game, and it is also one of the few celebrities in the NBA who has always supported the Jazz and Lynham, and the legendary player who broadcast the game almost directly expressed his dissatisfaction in a post-game interview.

"I'm not saying that the Jazz can't play such an ugly game, winning in the playoffs is a good thing, everyone knows that the Jazz can be ugly, but it needs to be divided, if they face the Rockets, they face the Musicians and the New York Knicks, then this team can win a game in such an ugly way, it's a very good thing."

"But their opponents are just the Trail Blazers. Although the strength of this team is really good, they are really not good enough, and Jerry Sloan's command is too conservative. He's afraid of change, he's very afraid to do challenging and risky things, if you're a manager of a strong team, he's careful or cautious, but if you want to be a championship manager, then it's not a good thing for him to be too careful and cautious, whether it's Phil Jackson or Pat Riley or Chuck Daley, they're all very courageous managers."

"Maybe it seems to him. The Jazz could have won even if they played at the pace of the Trail Blazers, but, man. You're the Jazz, you're a team with the No. 1 record in history with a 72-1o record, and when you go to the rhythm of a team with 35 wins in the regular season in a playoff game, isn't it a shame for you? ”

"The Jazz are a very strong team. The players of this team have the ability to change any game. Jerry Sloan has a lot of options to play the rhythm he wants, don't forget that this team is the best offensive team in the regular season, and now many people say that defense wins the championship, because defense is the most conservative and the most secure way to play, but in the current NBA, pure defense cannot win the championship, even if the Pistons won the championship for two consecutive years, the average points per game in the finals exceeded 11o points. The Jazz have the ability to play both offense and defense, and Jerry Sloan needs to trust their players even more. I need to change some of my own values."

"He needs to know that the Jazz he is bringing now is not an ordinary playoff team, but a championship-caliber team, such a team needs its own distinctive style and unique control of the game, and the Jazz can't be trapped just because of a Trail Blazer."

Larry Bird has never been a humble gentleman, the former NBA king is one of the most vicious players in NBA history, plus since retiring, the Celtics legend has been indulged in the commentary business for a while after being ostracized by the team's management, and it seems that there is still a feeling of becoming more and more addicted to playing, of course, with his status in the NBA, he can certainly say a lot of things that other people can't say and dare not say.

For example, this time, if some other people with less status dare to fire at the Jazz, not to mention that the Jazz fans will definitely scold, I am afraid that the media that support the Jazz team will not let go, but this time after the Bird voice, not to mention those media experts who don't like the Jazz team directly expressed their support, the Jazz team can't even control a Trail Blazer, although the regular season table is against the sky, but the playoffs will definitely be tragic, of course, for these guys, even if the Jazz can easily control the Trail BlazersThey can still find 1o reasons why the Jazz can't win the championship, so what these people say doesn't really matter, the important thing is that many of the pro-Jazz media also expressed support after Larry Bird criticized Jerry Sloan.

I have to say that in the second game between the Jazz and the Trail Blazers, after the Jazz defeated the Trail Blazers on their knees, Jerry Sloan was really under pressure.

The head coach of a 72-1o team in the regular season goes to the playoffs, and almost the whole world is waiting for this team to show the same dominance in the playoffs as in the regular season.

Because of such a game, although the Jazz team won, it can be seen from the very regretful expression of the Trail Blazers head coach Callesimo after the game that this team is very unconvinced of losing to the Jazz, because they succeeded tactically, and the reason why they lost was because the team did not have a player of the same level as Lin Han and Ma Long.

Of course, although Jerry Sloan's command and adaptability is really not good, and his coaching style does lack adventurous spirit and pursue too much caution, but he is not unaware that the current Jazz has the ability to play a lot of beautiful offense, the key is that although the team has such an ability, he can't completely control such an ability, let alone make the team play more beautiful, he really can't do it, and he can't even control the offense of the current team. He can't interfere with how Lin Han, Malone and Stockton play on the court, unless he can come up with a more efficient offensive strategy than the three-man superstar play. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to change the team's offense, and for an insecure manager like Jerry Sloan, he wouldn't be able to take charge of the team's offense. There is no sense of security, although the three superstars of the Jazz are indeed powerful, but he can't fully believe that these three can always be invincible when using their individual abilities to attack, in this case, he naturally does not want to gamble all the team's Qiē on the offense of these three, so although he can't control the team's offense. But his best defense can still do it.

So, although he let Malone and Stockton and Lynham expend a lot of energy on the defensive end, don't say anything. In the last game against the Trail Blazers, Jazz fans were very dissatisfied with watching their team being led by the Trail Blazers, but Jerry Sloan was very satisfied, because the team's defensive performance in the last game gave him a certain sense of security.

Of course. The Jazz defeated the Trail Blazers at home. Won two consecutive victories but was dissatisfied with many people, such a thing was impossible to give birth to in the previous Jazz, after all, everyone's previous requirements for Jazz and now the requirements for Jazz are absolutely different, although many people now feel that Jerry Sloan's ability is no longer worthy of the Jazz team, but for now, the Jazz team is actually relatively stable.

Although Jerry Sloan's coaching ability has some problems, it has to be said that because of his personality, his prestige in the team is very good. Although after the game between the Jazz and the Trail Blazers, the outside world is questioning Jerry Sloan's coaching ability. But the Jazz team is still very stable internally, and basically all the Jazz players have not focused on Jerry Sloan's hacking.

"The Rockets were beaten by the Suns at home for two games in a row, should this team be so miserable?"

After the second game of the Trail Blazers, the Jazz will have a three-day break, and the next away game against the Trail Blazers will be on May 4, so in recent times, the Jazz players have focused almost all of their attention on observing their main opponents in addition to training.

The Jazz's main opponents in the playoffs are naturally unlikely to be other teams, basically the Rockets, Sound, Warriors, Knicks four teams, especially the Western Tone and Rockets and the Warriors, these three teams are definitely the bitter home teams of the Jazz this season, and the Sound and the Warriors are really powerful after the playoffs begin.

Especially the Warriors, facing the Spurs in the fourth place in the West, the crazy team led by the old Nelson is almost hanging the Spurs, the Warriors beat the Spurs twice in a row on the road, you must know that although the two teams have only met four times in the regular season, but the two teams' regular season record is only 2 to 2, although the Spurs have a game to win is not so glorious, at the beginning of the season because Chris Mullin was not there, the Warriors were infighting, the Spurs won the Warriors one, and the next game to win was Rodman Chang Waving, grabbed 25 rebounds and 1o offensive rebounds in the game directly curbed the Warriors' running from the source, but after the playoffs, Rodman didn't know why he always felt low in energy, in this case, the Spurs who had no way to defeat the Warriors' rebounds could only let the Warriors play offense, and when the Warriors played offense, not to mention that the offense could only count on the Admiral's Spurs, I am afraid that even the Jazz may not be able to fight against the Warriors.

So if this trend continues, the Jazz's next round opponent is likely to be their bitter home team, the Warriors.

Of course, the Spurs' current record is very bad, and they can't be blamed for this, after all, the Warriors do restrain them, and the team's strength is really not very good, plus the house leak happened to rain overnight, and Rodman was making trouble again, and the Rockets lost to the Suns at home in two consecutive games, which is completely incomprehensible, although the Suns are indeed strong, but the Rockets are not bad, even if the team has some run-in problems, but Drexler's run-in with the Rockets is actually very simple, after all, he and Olajuwon are teammates in college, The two sides are very familiar, plus the other players of the Rockets are a group of shooters, and they only need to stand around Drexler and Olajuwon, so this team has lost two games in a row to the Suns in the playoffs, not to mention Lin Han and Jazz, and even the media in the United States can't think of what the Rockets are going to do.

"It seems that if we can make it to the Western Conference Finals, the opponent is likely to be the Suns, and of course the sound is not impossible."

As it stands, the Jazz are 2-o Trail Blazers and 2-2 to Nuggets. The Rockets are O-2 Suns, and the Spurs are O-2 Warriors, with a best-of-five record. The West does look like it's a foregone conclusion, with the four teams that will make it to the second round likely to be the Jazz, Tone and Warriors, and Suns.

Of course, for the Jazz, if they can beat the Warriors in the second round to reach the Western Conference Finals, the opponent is likely to be Yin or the Suns, and the Suns will have a better chance. Although the sound is very jazz, and jazz is very sunny, but the other point is that the sun is very sound. It's a cycle, and it looks like a pretty good cycle for Jazz.

So looking at the Western Conference playoffs with some sudden changes in the recent period, these players of the Jazz are actually very excited.

On May 4, 1994, three days after the second game between the Jazz and the Trail Blazers. The entire Jazz team traveled to Portland. Although the Trail Blazers have lost to the Jazz in the first two games, and the team has now been pushed to the edge of the cliff by the Jazz, it seems that the team has not completely lost confidence for the Trail Blazers, not only the players and the head coach, but also the fans of this team.

After all, for the Trail Blazers, they lost their last game against the Jazz. But they don't see any hope of winning, especially in recent times, the public opinion in the NBA has been very unfavorable to the Jazz. Especially for Jerry Sloan's conservative style of play, many people are very dissatisfied.

In this case, everyone in the Trail Blazers is waiting for the Jazz to make a mistake, because for the Jazz, they are a 72-win team, and such a team can't always want to win obscenely even if Jerry Sloan is conservative, so from the perspective of the Trail Blazers, this Jazz away game, with two wins and match points, is absolutely possible to change the formation, or change the team's style of play, Jerry Sloan needs to prove that he is not an ordinary strong team head coach, He needs to prove that he also has what it takes to lead the team to the Finals.

And as long as the Jazz team has tactical adjustments, then the opportunity for the Trail Blazers will come, after all, for the Jazz team, the Trail Blazers are not without understanding, this team has been playing more and more simple and direct since the second half of the regular season, since the whole United States is questioning Jerry Sloan's ability and his control of the Jazz team, the Trail Blazers will naturally not think that Jerry Sloan will be difficult to succeed even if he wants to change, and the possibility of failure in the end is greater, and Sloan's character, Naturally, he is unlikely to make changes that may fail, so the Jazz's biggest change on the offensive end is likely to be for the team's three superstars to strengthen their energy on the offensive end.

As long as the Jazz team does not change in tactics, then their style of play still can't escape the three interior tactics of the Trail Blazers, as long as they can't break through the Trail Blazers' crazy three interior tactics, then the rhythm of the game will always be in the hands of the Trail Blazers, and the Jazz, who put a lot of effort on the offensive end and eventually failed, are likely to have problems on the defensive end, and then this is the opportunity for the Trail Blazers!

As long as the Trail Blazers win at home and turn the score to 1-2, the Jazz will definitely have a problem with their mentality in the end, especially Jerry Sloan, then the opportunity for the Trail Blazers will finally come.

I have to say that as one of the most promising young head coaches in the academy, Callesimo is really good at tactical analysis and brain supplementation, although the team execution is not good because of the lack of control over the Trail Blazers, but the best thing about such a head coach is that every time the team loses, he can find a way to win, so for this type of head coach, if they really control the team, it is indeed very powerful, but these players from nnetnetba, After all, the status of players in the NBA is completely different from the status of NCAA players, and these academy head coaches are often killed by players from their own teams.

However, at this time, the Trail Blazers are all in one mind, so Callesimo doesn't have to worry about being cheated by his own players.

"Terry, I need you to be able to strengthen your individual offensive ability in this game, and you must continue to put pressure on Lin Han on the offensive end, and Rod, if possible, you also need to impact Lin Han more, we need to reduce Lin Han's influence on the offensive end in this game, understand?"

At 7 p.m. on May 4, 1994. An hour before the start of the game between the Jazz and the Trail Blazers, in the Trail Blazers' home locker room, Trail Blazers head coach Callesimo was laying out the style of play for his players. And if Lin Han was on the scene at this time, he would be very surprised, because at this time, almost most of Callesimo's tactical arrangements revolved around him.

However, with the strength of the Trailblazers, they are indeed not afraid of Ma Long, although Ma Long is a superstar, but they also have three All-Star insiders in the team, only Lin Han is such a point, they are always not right. Corbyn is tall enough, but not enough, Terry Porter is enough. But the height is not enough, and the two are basically similar on the defensive end when facing Lin Han.

In this case, the head coach of the Trail Blazers still chose the strongest offensive point in this game, Terry Porter, to face Lin Han again, and it was obvious. The head coach of the Trail Blazers has given up on the possibility of pressing Lin Han on the offensive end. With Lin Han's offensive range, it is basically impossible for the Trail Blazers to block Lin Han.

The offense can't block Lin Han on the offensive end, so as long as Lin Han is given more defensive pressure on the defensive end, this can still be done, especially Terry Porter is not just a guard who can average 1o assists per game, this guy is one of the best two-way guards in the league in the past few years, and the Trail Blazers crushed the Western giants with athletic talent to enter the Finals not only with Drexler's strong personal talent and breakthrough ability, but also with Terry Porter. Although this guy's individual ability and breakthrough are not as strong as Drexler's, they are not much worse. And compared to Drexler, his current three-point shooting ability is more stable, so Terry Bird can be regarded as a slightly weaker breakthrough and a stronger three-point weakened version of Drexler.

It is possible for such a player to bring some defensive pressure to Lin Han on the offensive end, but the Trail Blazers' style of play in the first two games does not require him to forcibly play Lin Han, because other Trail Blazers players are more efficient in the offensive face of other Jazz players, and now, in order to contain Lin Han's power on the offensive end, even if it is really not efficient, Terry Porter needs to force Lin Han's offense.

So, this is actually a gamble, betting that his offense can bring challenges to Lin Han's defense, and if his offense does not pose any threat to Lin Han's defense, then the Trail Blazers' use of him will be a complete failure.

Therefore, after getting this task at this time, Terry Porter nodded tightly at this time, and for a while, the Trail Blazers' All-Star guard didn't know what was on his mind.

Of course, at this time, the Trail Blazers are arranging tactics to deal with Lin Han, and on the side of the Jazz locker room, it is not so dignified, as many people speculate, the head coach of the Jazz team in this game, Jerry Sloan, did make some changes in the tactical arrangement, so that Lin Han and Malone can focus more on the offensive end, it can be seen that in the face of the pressure in the recent period, although the Jazz team is still very supportive of him, but Jerry Sloan himself really can't completely ignore these pressures.

However, although there is a new tactical arrangement, after all, the tactics have not changed, so the Jazz players do not need to be as nervous as the Trail Blazers players, and the Jazz players are actually very relaxed at this time.

"Lin boy is constipated again, this guy has been squatting in the toilet for half an hour."

"This kid is like this when he comes to an important game, and it's really interesting to have such characteristics"

Even after Jerry Sloan laid out the new instructions, under the leadership of the two leaders of the Jazz team, these guys had already teased Lin Han, but at this time he was hiding in the toilet, no, it should be said that Lin Han in the system space didn't know this.

In the first game of the playoffs with the Trail Blazers, Lin Han played a 5x5 number jù in the game, and because it was the first time that a player played such a number jù in the playoffs, so in that game Lin Han gained a purple-gold skill point, and now plus the purple-gold skill point that Lin Han had obtained after completing the first triple-double of his career, Lin Han already had two purple-gold skill points at this time.

Originally, before this, Lin Han was going to save three skill points and upgrade Lin Han's three-point points to the 1v3 level, which would make his swing on the offensive end more stable, but after Jerry Sloan had a new arrangement for the team's tactics in this game, I don't know why, Lin Han felt that the Jazz team might not be so easy to play in this game.

Especially when Jerry Sloan asked him and Malone to focus more on the offensive end, Lin Han's feeling became stronger and stronger.

"Are you really going to use these two skill points right now?"

in the system space. Faced with Ellie's question, Lin Han nodded after hesitating, originally he kept these two skill points to improve Chamberlain's locking block to the highest level. But now it seems that these two skill points cannot be used in this way.

"There's no way around it, I feel like the Trail Blazers aren't that easy to play in this game."

After Lin Han finished speaking, Ellie also nodded and didn't say anything more, and after Lin Han gritted his teeth again, he put his remaining two purple-gold skill points on Lin Han's three-point shooting and omnipresent defense skills.

Skill: Lin Han-style three-point shooting (purple gold A+ level)

Skill level: 1v2

Skill Effect: This skill is a comprehensive shooting skill. This skill can greatly enhance the viewing effect. Comes with a 1v2 god-level Maddie Hour special effect, and comes with a 1v2-level god-level convulsion. Comes with a 1v2 god-level fatal kill special effect, and a 1v2-level god-level catch and shoot special effect

1v2 God-level Maddie Moment Special Effect: When the host's team is behind. The host can turn on the Maddie Moment for 35 seconds at any time, and each time it is opened, it consumes 2o% of character, and if the host has enough character, it can be turned on multiple times, when the host's character is less than 4o%. A match can only be played once. After the host starts the Maddie Moment. The three-point shooting percentage is increased by 85%, and the two-point shot is increased by 75%. Three-point shots are not limited to the three-point line, and can reach up to three steps beyond the three-point line

1v2 God-level Convulsion Special Effect: When the host uses this skill, the one-step out-of-three-point rate increases by 1o, and the three-point line two-step out-of-action rate increases by 15%. 2o% increased three-step shooting rate from beyond the three-point line

1v2 God-level Fatal Kill Special Effect: When the host's team is behind. This skill's three-point shooting rate is 15%, and when the host uses this skill to shoot the whistle in the game, the survival rate is increased by 15%, and you can predict in advance whether the lore can be scored.

1v2 God-level Catch and Shoot: When the host uses this skill to catch and shoot outside the three-point line, the shooting rate of unguarded shots is increased by 2o%. 15% increased shooting percentage when defended

This is a 1v2 level of Lin Han's three-point game, when this skill is upgraded to 1v2. The other three special effects improve the hit rate, and the only one that surprised Lin Han was that after Maddie reached 1v2, there was no limit that he had to be 8 points behind, but as long as the team was behind, he could open this skill, although it still takes 2o points of character every time he opens it, but this is too much better than the 8 points behind the pit daddy who needs to control the score.

Skill: Kirilenko's co-defense skill (purple gold A+ level skill)

Skill level, 1v2

Skill Effect: This skill is an outside co-defense skill, and this skill comes with a 1v1 level omnipresent special effect. Comes with a 1v2 level haunting special effect

1v1 Omnipresent Special Effect: In any game, when the host is on the court as a defensive player. When facing the attacker's defense, when the opponent passes the ball, the host can predict the passing route in advance before the opponent passes, and this effect cannot be upgraded.

Level 1v2 Mysterious Special Effect: The host's reflexivity is increased by 3o, steal rate is increased by 3o, and block rate is increased by 3o, which cannot be stacked with other defensive skill effects.

If the biggest change in Lin Han's three-point shooting at the 1v2 level is to enhance the strength of the skill that makes Lin Han a little less daring to use Maddie's moment, then after the omnipresence skill is upgraded to 1v2, it really gives Lin Han a huge sense of security.

Because when this skill is upgraded to 1v2, the reflexes, steal rate and block rate are doubled, which is a full double!

Even to Lin Han's feeling, if his reflexes can be improved a little more, then even if he is an outside player, he can do it like an inside player to help defend, and even be able to cover the area in a short period of time will be larger and larger, and even give Lin Han a feeling that if this skill is really improved to 1v3, according to Lin Han's physical talent, it may become an omnipresent co-defense skill.

However, if you want to increase this level to 1v3, I'm afraid it's unlikely that it will be possible in a short time.

At eight o'clock in the evening of May 4, 1994, the Portland Memorial Coliseum was packed to the brim with Trail Blazers fans.

Obviously, the fans of the Trail Blazers did not give up on this game, as many people said before the game, although the Trail Blazers lost O to 2, but they did not have no chance.

Although the last few seasons have been a failure for Paul Allen, but the Trail Blazers have reached two consecutive Finals in four years, which still gives the Trail Blazers a large number of loyal fans, although it is a pity that the team was not able to win the championship, but at least the team has not a lot of die-hard fans.

So when Lin Han and the other players of the Jazz team came out of the player tunnel first, they felt the somewhat oppressive atmosphere on the scene, and I have to say that this kind of playoff away boos can indeed disturb the minds of some young players, which can be seen from David Wesley's face.

Of course, Lin Han, who came out of the boos of the fans at this time, didn't notice that there was a pair of eyes watching him in the stands all the time.

"Boss, Callesimo is guaranteed to beat the Jazz in this game"

In the stands of the Trail Blazers' home memorial arena, Paul Allen just nodded after hearing his assistant's whisper, his eyes still fixed on the Jazz No. 8, and the Trail Blazers owner's face was also a little complicated.

"You go and tell them that if they lose this game, none of them will be in the team next season"

When Paul Allen said lightly, even his assistant was startled.

You know, Paul Allen has always been very good to his players, and he has never said anything like this.

It's just clear that this time was different from usual, so Paul Allen's assistant took a deep look at the Jazz eight on the court and left again. (To be continued......)
