Chapter 490: You Humiliate Me!
"Boss, boss, I'm really going to start this game?"
"Nonsense, isn't it already set a long time ago"
In the home team's aisle at the Western Forum Arena in Los Angeles, Lakers players are preparing for the game.
The Great Western Forum Arena is a fairly old NBA arena, almost 30 years old from 1967 to the present.
Although it is old, it has been well maintained, so it is definitely not old, and the equipment that other new stadiums in the player tunnel should have, such as a large number of fitness equipment, many NBA stadium player tunnels can be used for warm-up training.
In addition, there is also grooming, choreographing the mirror of the dance or something, if the NBA is a show, then the inside of the player tunnel is the beginning of the show.
However, unlike the usual ones that everyone likes to do in the players' exit lane, today is a life-and-death battle for the Lakers, where if you win, you will advance, and if you lose, you will go to Houston to accept the trial of fate.
Before such a game, whether it is Magic Johnson as a veteran player, Dominic Wilkins or Rodman is quite dignified.
This makes it even less necessary for Lin Han to surround himself with young players like Aaron Williams, Antonio Xavi, Antonio Miller, Van Exel, Eddie Jones.
Moreover, in this game, because he temporarily proposed to the team with the Magic to change the tactical play, the team has been practicing the new tactics for the past two days.
Now that there is a new tactic, it is only natural that the team's starting lineup will also change.
And the biggest change is that Aaron Williams, one of Lin Han's younger brothers, has been following him all the way from the Jazz to the Lakers in the draft training camp.
Originally, with the strength of him and Antonio Harvey, it was quite difficult to find a job in the NBA, but whoever made them his little brother, even if their strength was no matter how good they were, as long as he was willing, both the Jazz and the Lakers would give them a family support activity, whether they usually used it or not.
Therefore, compared with potential rookie brothers such as Eddie Jones, Van Exel, and Trevoluffen, whether it is Aaron Williams or Antonio Xavi, they actually know very well what their roles are.
Their usual job is to wave towels off the field, and when there is garbage time in the game, they go up to make up the numbers, if Lin Han has a conflict with someone in the field, well, of course they have to be the first to rush up to help fight!
In other words, with Lin Han's personality and his situation in the NBA, the job of helping to fight is still quite important, even Jerry West would not think that raising such two idlers would lose anything.
In short, if it's for Linhan, Aaron Williams and Antonio Harvey can do whatever they need, and that's what it means they can stay in the NBA.
However, there is only one thing that they are absolutely unwilling to do, and that is to take the initiative to take the responsibility of the game.
As a player, it's actually your duty to take responsibility for the game, otherwise you have to be a professional player.
If they could, they actually wanted to help Lin Han when Lin Han was in trouble, but they also had to have such strength!
Otherwise, rashly taking responsibility will eventually lead to the consequences of affecting their boss.
For example, in this game, the Lakers' lineup change, Aaron Williams and Antonio Harvey, one of the Lakers' bench insiders, will be put to the starter.
And who are their opponents?
Barkley and Olajuwon......
Even Rodman, the most vicious man on the team, who even Admiral David Robinson looked down on, would put away that contempt and arrogance in the face of these two.
Therefore, this starter, and it is not the kind of pseudo-starter, but the starter with an important mission, whether it is Aaron Williams or Antonio Xavi does not want to.
In the end, Aaron Williams was unlucky enough to beat Antonio Xavi to get a starting position.
As for the reason, it is naturally not because of his strength, but when the team measured the width of these two people, it was found that although Aaron Williams was only 2.06 meters, the width of his body was much wider than that of Antonio Harvey, compared to Antonio Harvey who was 2.11 meters, Aaron Williams was a standard door panel figure.
"Aaron, don't worry about Olajuwon and Barkley, it doesn't matter if you can't stop them, even if they get 100 points, it doesn't matter, as long as you can help me block people, even if you are scored 100 points by Olajuwon and Barkley, I will take 101 points to avenge you!"
"Boss, boss?!"
"Okay, don't be moved, let's get out of the game"
Lin Han kicked out, and Aaron Williams almost staggered out.
The boss's strength is so great, no wonder he can defend against David Robinson, and even the big man of Magic has suffered.
However, watching the figure of Rodman in front of him leave the players' tunnel, Aaron Williams still had some legs and stomachs, and even when he heard the DJ on the scene shouting his name, he was also excited, and in the Western Conference Finals, as a starter, he was the penultimate to greet the cheers of the fans......
You know, he used to start with substitutes.
I have to say that young people are young people, even if they are worried, in the face of such a glorious moment, in the end, these worries and fears are thrown out in their minds.
Seeing Aaron Williams like this, Lin Han also shook his head with a smile.
"Hmph, anyway, this game is desperate, who's afraid of whom!"
"Absolute hit skill to shoot, ethereal golden skill to run, and then there is Chamberlain's endurance skill pseudo-infinite energy to consume!"
These three skills are also the hole cards that he dares to make the magician change the formation in this game!
Anyway, the Lakers can't defend Olajuwon and Barkley, who are going to fight hard in this game, so instead of this, let's go directly to the offense!
Originally, defense is not better than offense, he didn't dare to bet, in the face of crazy Olajuwon and Barkley, he went to attack with the inside line, even if he is still at the end of his character, this is also very dangerous!
If he loses this one, then will he have to go to Houston to perform iron striking in the next game with the character of the bottom?
Fortunately, going to the plane of the 'Godfather of the Dynasty' got Wallis Zebiak's absolute shooting skills, which can be regarded as making up for the last shortcoming of his off-ball offense!
He now wants speed and speed, endurance and endurance, and the skill of running has the skill of running, and his character is still 115%, so to speak, the possibility of striking iron has been reduced to the extreme, he does not play three-point tactics, does he still have to use Kobe-style back-up to face Olajuwon's help defense to play back-up? Or a mid-range pull-up with Russell Westbrook's mid-range pull-up to play a zombie jumper?
He has a lot of offensive skills, but in the face of the rockets who are now fighting against the water, the best thing to use is the combination of these three skills, which is the ultimate in the pursuit of efficiency, of course, if it comes to the critical moment, the conditions are still suitable, and the special effect of the Maddie-style dry drawing skill can also be turned on, Maddie's moment, but the opening condition of the Maddie moment is that when there are 35 seconds left in the game, the team is 8 points behind, this needs to be operated, and then we will talk about it.
In short, for this showdown with Team Rocket, he is completely ready!
And at this time, there was an excited shout in Lin Han's ears.
"Now, the last one, from Utah Community College, who is six feet six tall and the No. 24 of the Lakers, Lin Han !!!!!!!."
Familiar voices, familiar cheers, familiar applause, Lin Han stepped on the steps and walked out of the players' tunnel with a smile.
And after seeing his figure, the entire Great Western Forum Arena was completely boiling for a while, and the other Lakers players, including the first Magician, and other Lakers players who played in front of him, greeted Lin Han's appearance just like welcoming the king!
"Lin is now the well-deserved king of Los Angeles!"
It is not an exaggeration to say that the NBA game on June 4, 1995 was watched by the whole world, with the strongest team in the league against the most popular team in the league, and it was the most crucial sixth game, and even idiots knew what the magnitude of the game was like.
As an NBA broadcaster, ABC naturally knows it, so the live commentary and guests of ABC for this game are the legendary star of the former 76ers and the former head coach of the Bulls, Doug Collins, and the legendary star of the former Celtics, Lally Bird.
Since the two partnered to become ABC commentators, it can be said that the two are now the most popular commentary group in the United States, and after the start of the playoffs, the two were focused on the East, but this time, for the most critical sixth game of the Western Conference finals, the two had to work overtime.
"Larry, the Lakers' starting lineup in this game is very strange, Aaron Williams replaced Dominic Wilkins as the starter, which is also the first playoff start of Aaron Williams' NBA career, what is the signal of such a big game as Magic?"
"I don't understand, although Dominic is 34 years old, he is still one of the most playoff players in the Lakers right now, compared to the young Eddie Jones and the inconsistent Van Exel and Trevorufen, he is still the most trustworthy offensive point outside of Lin Han, is the Magic ready to give up the offense in this game?"
"Larry thinks Aaron Williams can put pressure on Olajuwon or Barkley on the defensive end?"
Listening to Doug Collins' teasing, Larry Bird himself laughed.
Speaking of which, he couldn't understand what the Lakers' change of formation meant.
Lin Han, Eddie Jones, Magic, Rodman, Aaron Williams.
This is the starting point of the Lakers in this game, it can be said that this is a very deformed starting lineup, because of Lin Han and Magic's all-round play, so the Lakers' previous starting positions are also very vague, because Lin Han and Magic can play positions 1-5, which means that the positions of others are completely determined by the positions of Magic and Lin Han.
But even so, the Lakers have never used such a strange starter, what to do with a player like Aaron Williams who can't attack or defend well?
Ready to fight, provoke Olajuwon and Barkley and get them punished?
Aside from this possibility, he couldn't think of what Aaron Williamson's role was.
It's just that it's good to know this kind of thing, you can't say it, isn't Collins next to him just digging a hole for him, this guy, a thief!
"Hakim, Charles, be careful in this game"
The Lakers' change of lineup will naturally not only attract attention from these two commentators of ABC, but the players and coaches of the Rockets are now fully focused on the Lakers.
Although the Rockets are behind now, because Olajuwon has given up humiliating Lin Han, they definitely have a great chance to drag the game back to Houston when they have a huge strength advantage, and it is understandable if the Lakers want to play the dark starters.
"In this match, we're going to put all our energy on winning the game!"
In the face of Tomjanovich's repeated reminders, the three superstars of the Rocket team are very calm, and they have completely lost the anger that they had when they played against Lin Han in the past.
And seeing the three leaders of the team like this, Tomjanovic also breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the three leaders of the team can stay calm, with the strength of the Rockets, neither the Lakers nor the Bulls will be their opponents, and this year's championship can only be the Rockets!
So, all they have to do is complete the game plan step by step!
"Unlike the Lakers, the Rockets' starting lineup in this game has not changed, center Olajuwon, power forward Barkley, small forward Mario Arie, scoring guard Drexler, playmaking guard Kenny Smith, this is also the strongest set of lineups in the NBA at the moment"
"Although the Lakers are now leading by a big score, the big score has not changed the strength of the two teams, according to the prediction of many experts in ABC before the game, most experts believe that the game will be played to the seventh game, and finally the Rockets will advance, Lin Han cannot have the fourth game in a row and still have that kind of god-like magical play"
"I think that as long as there is Lin Han's game, everything is possible, he is the first player in NBA history to win back-to-back 70+ in the playoffs, although it is unlikely, but maybe his game will be even more magical?"
"The race is about to begin"
After Lin Han took the Lakers players and Olajuwon and the Rockets players stood in the center of the court, Lin Han felt the fierce gaze of Olajuwon, who was jumping with Aaron Williams in the center circle.
It's just that in the face of such a gaze, Lin Han reciprocated with a hearty smile, but such a smile was no different from humiliation in Olajuwon's eyes.
If he hadn't known that the Lakers might have to play black in this game, he might not have been able to control his power.
It's just that although Olajuwon controlled it, it hurt Aaron Williams.
In the face of Olajuwon's eyes that swallowed him, Aaron Williams was not as indifferent as Lin Han, and the excitement of starting completely disappeared for a while, and even the Lakers' starting center began to spin again.
Aaron Williams and Olajuwon's jump ball, there is no suspense.
The Rockets got the first wave of possession of the game, and after Kenny Smith took the ball across half court, he handed the ball directly to Olajuwon, who was already in the position of the inside, with his back to Aaron Williams.
If Olajuwon played David Robinson, Dream Footsteps still had to play a lot of feints, but in the face of door rookie Aaron Williams, Olajuwon didn't even bother to do feints, and turned his back directly, like a post, and after passing Aaron Williams, he faced Rodman who was making up for the defense.
"Beautiful back turn, beautiful one-handed split dunk, Hakim crushes Williams!"
"As soon as this game started, Olajuwon showed his desire to attack, and the Lakers were not optimistic in this game"
Originally, after the opening, the cheers of the Lakers were definitely one after another, but after Olajuwon's first-class dunk, the cheers of the Lakers seemed to pause.
"No matter what you want to play, the Rockets will win this game"
"Playing tricks?"
Seeing Drexler's disdainful eyes, Lin Han said that he was very innocent, even if it was a trick, I could compare to you old guys?
However, Drexler is indeed much calmer than in the previous game, which is rare, and he wants to tease him well and bring his anger up.
"Aaron, it's okay, it's our turn"
Although the Lakers already knew that Aaron Williams was going to be blown up on the defensive end of this game before this game started, seeing Olajuwon start like this, the Lakers were still very sympathetic to this teammate who started the playoffs for the first time.
As for losing points, be reasonable, in the face of Olajuwon, if you want to beat you, let alone Aaron Williams, there are few top interior lines in the league who can block it when they don't help defense.
As for co-defense?
Do you think the current rocket is still the same one-star rocket as before?
Now Olajuwon's partner is Barkley, and Rodman's help defense just now is already fast!
This is also why the Rockets will be the best in the league after having Barkley, because the combination of Olajuwon and Barkley is definitely not as simple as 1+1=2, and the inside containment of the two when they are together is simply indescribable.
Fortunately, the Lakers have long been prepared to be blown up defensively.
So Aaron Williams picked himself up right away after being slightly depressed.
"Well, Lin Han is not ready to control the ball for half the court?"
The Rockets started the game with a very wonderful dunk, and when everyone waited for the Lakers to fight back, they saw a very peculiar scene, Lin Han, who usually dribbles through half the court, did not receive the ball from center Aaron Williams in this game.
It was Eddie Jones who received the ball, and what is even more incredible is that after Eddie Jones dribbled past half court with Kenny Smith's interference, he did not hand the ball to Lin Han, but to the magic at the top of the arc.
"Huh?"
Tomjanovic off the court looked at the strange situation on the court and looked at Adelman, the assistant coach of the Lakers coach's bench next to him, a little puzzled, but soon he made a move that Rockets players are very familiar with.
Immediately afterwards, Larry Bird and Doug Collins saw Drexler and Mario Ailey standing directly beside Lin Han without the ball, Mario Ailey was holding Lin Han's waist, and Drexler was standing in front of Lin Han!
"This, this is a no-ball bag?!"
Seeing the sudden defensive changes of the rockets, almost all the commentators from major TV stations in various countries were in an uproar.
In the current NBA, it is not allowed to pack without the ball, but the rules are rules, and any rule has loopholes, and the concept of bag clamping is very vague.
Therefore, the off-ball bag or something is not new to them, when Jordan was without the ball, he often had one hanging on his body, and there was one standing next to him.
It's just that Jordan's style of play is now dominated by no ball, but what about Lin Han? is mainly holding the ball, how can he brush assists if he doesn't hold the ball!
You know, his Marbury's last-second pass is the standard for his assists.
Therefore, everyone usually sees Jordan being pinched without the ball a lot, and it is fresh to see that Lin Han will actually encounter such a pinch.
Of course, what's even fresher is that Lin Han, who regards the ball as his life, isn't he ready to attack with the ball in this game? !
"It's a weird game!"
"It's really weird, I'm sure Tom Janovic's tactic should be to wrap up Lin Han who holds the ball at any time and let the rest of the Lakers score, as long as the Rockets have Olajuwon on the inside, even if the Rockets are 3 to 4 or even 2 to 4, they are not afraid! Without Lin Han's Lakers, in the face of Olajuwon's large-scale defensive area, the offensive efficiency will definitely not be high, but in the previous game between the Rockets and the Lakers, the Rockets didn't mean that? is enough of the Big Three, and they still use such Jordan's rule against Lin Han, are Hakim ready to admit defeat to Lin Han?! ”
"What's even more interesting is that the Lakers' tactics in this game are actually Lin Han playing without the ball, so that what was originally a ball-holding pinch became a no-ball pinch shot, and the changes of the two teams in this game came together."
"That's a coincidence, isn't it?"
Glancing at Mario Alley, who was hanging on him at this time, and Drexler, who had been standing next to him to cut off the pass goose to prevent him from running at any time, Lin Han was a little speechless in his heart.
Can this all be bumped into a piece?
Moreover, you admit defeat so quickly, do you want to lose face!
You said you would humiliate me, but you humiliated me!
Not to mention Lin Han, even the magician, who was accustomed to seeing battles, was a little confused for a while, looking at the Rocket player in front of him with the door wide open, only Olajuwon standing in front of him, and everyone else paying all their attention to Lin Han.
Magicians even have the urge to pass Kenny Smith in front of him and directly challenge Olajuwon, which is really empty!
Of course, Magic is not the kind of impulsive person, challenging Olajuwon or something, absolutely unwise, the Rockets made it clear that the other Lakers players would attack, and if he wanted to be wise, he naturally wanted to find Lin Han.
Fortunately, they were such tactics before this game, otherwise they might have been caught off guard by the rockets in a hurry.
"The Lakers didn't panic?"
"Huh? Aaron Williams and Rodman are in this position?! ”
"Lin Han is running!"
