On November 7, 1993, the Utah Jazz, who had just won two straight seasons with the Minnesota Timberwolves, left Minnesota for Seattle.

Seattle is now one of the strongest teams in the league, finishing third in the Western Conference regular season last season, reaching the Western Conference Finals in the playoffs, and the team seems to be improving every year since the current head coach George Carr, the former head coach of the Warriors, succeeded K.C. Jones.

KC Jones, the legendary coach of the former Celtics, is not an ordinary coach, this Bill Russell's teammate with the Celtics in college has followed Russell as a player to win 2 Nnetba championships, he is one of the Celtics' eight consecutive championships that year, and this guy is also an Olympic basketball gold medalist, which can be said to be a very rare 'major' player in the history of American basketball.

And this guy's playing career is bullish, and his coaching career is also bullish, not only led the Washington Bullets to the Finals, but also led the Celtics to the Finals and won two NBA championships, led the Washington Bullets and the Celtics for 9 seasons, this guy has led the team to the Finals a total of 5 times, if the total number of championships of players and head coaches is combined, this guy has 1o championship rings on his hand, and if you add assistant coaches, it is 12, This guy also worked as an assistant coach with the Lakers and won a championship.

And what about George Carr? This guy was originally coached by the Warriors, and he played 16-48 in his last season, with a win rate of only 25%, and the hapless guy was kicked out by the Warriors before the season ended, and finally the current Warriors head coach Don Nelson took his place.

A failed head coach takes over the position of a very successful head coach, and this team is not an ordinary strong team, this tone has been a regular in the playoffs in the West since Bixduff became the head coach of the team 1o years ago, not to mention, Yin just won the NBA championship not long ago in 1979, in this case, George Carr needs to face a lot of pressure to succeed here, and in the end, this wonderful coach really made everyone fall through the glasses, Not only did this guy beat his two predecessors, KC Jones and Bixduff, but he almost led the team to the Finals again last season, replicating the team's original glory.

And more importantly, last season's sound in the playoffs God is stepping on the Utah Jazz, last season's Western Conference playoffs in the first round, Utah Jazz ranked sixth, five games and three wins of the game, the Jazz in the first three games away from home to the sound, the big score came to 2 to 1, as long as they win the key fourth game, they can black six, and the fourth game is still the home of the Jazz, at that time Sloan and Jazz were high-spirited, although the regular season because of Stockton and Malone encountered Olympic troubles, The team's regular season results are not good, but as long as the playoffs can be good, who cares about the results in the regular season.

It's just that in the end, the Jazz was extremely disappointed that Stockton, the league's top three organizational guard, was actually frozen by a young point guard named Gary Payton in the crucial fourth home game, and Malone, who may be the second best power forward in the league, was also made a wolf by a young power forward Sean Kemp in this game, Sean Kemp sent three steals and five blocks in a single game, while Malone sent 6 turnovers in a single game, how could the Jazz win when the team's two leaders were like this, In the end, the situation was very good, and the team was reversed by the young tone.

Last season's Western Conference playoffs made it possible to challenge Gary Payton, who was once the third best point guard in the league and the top three best point guards in the league today, in the Western Conference playoffs, which gave him a nickname like 'Glove', and also made Jerry Sloan lose face.

Therefore, when Lin Han came to Seattle with the team, he could clearly feel that the atmosphere of the whole team was different from the past.

For example, every time I saw Lin Han a few days ago, I would sarcastically say a few words about Jane Humphries's Mesozoic players of the team have become extraordinarily honest today, conscientious and diligent, and finally Lin Han inquired and found out that the team's loss to the playoffs last season was not only that the team's two leading players did not reach the best at the critical moment, but more importantly, these middle-level players of the team were blown up by the sound, although Payton and Sean Kemp at home are indeed dazzling like the rising sun. But no matter how dazzling these two young people are, they are still not as good as Stockton and Malone, except for the fourth key match point loss level, the other games are normal, but these two are normal swings most of the time, and the others are completely abnormal swings most of the time.

This is also the reason why this season's Jazz is unwilling to give up Lin Han even if they know Lin Han's various shortcomings, Sloan was miserable by the team's role players last season, and for the team, these players who can usually follow the team to make some money, but at the critical moment, the players who are completely unreliable are actually very disappointed, so after getting Lin Han, they got a former All-Star offensive interior Tom Chambers, It can be said that the two most important introductions of the Jazz this year are all at the expense of defense to get offensive players, Lin Han aside, doesn't Sloan know that the team's retired center Mark Eaton is one of the best blockers in the history of the league and the winner of the league's best defensive player? If such a player retires, if it is a counterpoint substitution, it is natural to need a gate that is also defensive to make up for such a position, but in the end, Sloan's choice was almost a surprise to everyone.

After losing last season and being defeated by George Carr, the head coach of the Jazz has changed his previous coaching philosophy, defense is of course very important, but there is no offensive defense and there is no final victory, last season's playoffs with sound, only 2 of the five games Jazz scored more than 9o points, and 3 games with 85 points, which is really miserable, you know, last season the Jazz averaged 1o6 points per game in the regular season, From a 1o6 regular season point average to a playoff average of almost 86 points per game, the gap is enough to make a team's head coach despair of many players on the team.

Of course, Jerry Sloan wants revenge in this game, Jazz's strength this season has made great progress compared to last season, and the firepower of the first two games has reached the point of madness with the blessing of Lin Han, which also gives Sloan a lot of confidence, Lin Han, the player he advocates for the introduction, is too long to give him, although I don't know how long Lin Han's fiery state can last, but no matter what, at this time, Lin Han's status in his mind has even passed the team's three masters, Jeff Malone, Even many times, even if Sloan wanted to add a defensive perimeter to the team, he began to wonder whether to take Jeff Malone out of his position instead of taking Lin Han out of his position.

"Jerry, I don't think it's time to make any separate tactics for Lin, right?"

At this time, Jerry Sloan looked at the Jazz players on the training court a little distracted, and assistant coach Phil Johnson, who had been watching the team's training, was very helpless at this time.

In the NBA, the so-called star is that the team will give him a separate tactic, and the whole team will cooperate with him in the implementation of this tactic, which can be said to be a very good treatment.

But this treatment has changed after coming to Lin Han's body, this Chinese kid can't understand those complex tactics that require the cooperation of several people, and his running position on the court is simply miserable, it seems that this Asian kid can't do anything other than singles and simple blocking, even if it is a block, although this guy's jump shot after blocking and dismantling is still picturesque, but the low hit rate is pointed.

According to Phil Johnson's evaluation of Lin Han, this rookie may continue to play alone to the end in the future, and it is almost impossible to get other players to cooperate with him.

It's just that this guy has a really good success rate in the first two singles, and he also single-handedly won the two rookies Mashburn and Ryder, but what about the next? Can he win Payton heads-up, can he win Pippen heads-up? And apart from these guys, what team in the NBA doesn't have a dedicated outside defender?

In this case, even Jordan was a heads-up all the way to the beginning of the year, and in the end he was hit by a head and bloodshed, and finally met Phil Jackson, the coach who is the best at playing single challenge, and his triangle offense is not to let the rest of the team cooperate with Jordan's single challenge?

It's just obvious that although heads-up is also tactical, but Phil Jackson will, he Jerry Sloan won't, and let Stockton and Malone cooperate with Lin Han to play heads-up, one or two games are okay, can they be willing to do more? Although these two are not young, they have not yet achieved fame, and the MVP and championship have not yet arrived, and they will not sacrifice their numbers for Lin Han.

Therefore, Jerry Sloan, who was originally thinking of revenge against George Karl for a while, suddenly appeared that the team actually had such a big crisis and problem.

If Malone and Stockton stay at the top for a long time, and Lin Han can only play cancerous basketball, then the team will have a battle sooner or later.

Headache, Sloane's headache at this time.
