(2nd Update)

On December 2o, 1994, at eight o'clock in the evening, the stands of the Los Angeles Forum Arena were already full, although the Lakers' record in recent times was average, but in terms of the overall record of the season, the 13-1o record is definitely outstanding for the current Lakers, and more importantly, today's game between the Lakers and the Timberwolves is a revenge battle for Lakers fans. (

When the two teams were in the preseason, the Timberwolves and Lakers were known as one of the weakest teams in the NBA, especially the Lakers were considered the weakest team in the league in the preseason, either for other reasons, or because the Timberwolves stepped on the Lakers and trampled the Lakers under their feet.

Although the predictions for the Lakers before the start of the season have basically been slapped back in the face by Lin Han and the Lakers, but in the preseason, the Lakers even lost to the Timberwolves, which still makes Lakers fans not like that, Lakers fans did not have any hope for the Lakers' record this season, so even if the Lakers are really crazy about losing, they will not boo the team at home.

But the Lakers even lost to the Timberwolves, and it looked like they were shameless to lose, and in the end, the Lakers fans who were just cold bystanders couldn't help but booed the team directly.

This year's preseason eight consecutive defeats, this is a very tragic history of the Lakers, and although this is not so important to the Lakers in terms of record rankings, but in other aspects, it is quite important, not to mention that this game is before the game, the Timberwolves, who are still ranked in the bottom few of the league this season, threatened to use the game with the Lakers to end their losing streak!

And such remarks are quite irritating to Lakers fans. So, before the game, this game was regarded by Lakers fans as a must-win game!

"The Lakers' arena looks a little shabby, though. But the atmosphere is not bad."

In the stands of the Forum Arena, when the Timberwolves players played, Lin Han, as the leader of the Lakers, played in the finale, and the cheers of the entire Forum Arena also came to the maximum decibels, and at this time, Lin Han's family members in the stands of the Forum Arena also kept waving their arms to Lin Han in the court, especially Lin Han's little sister. After seeing Lin Han come out, his little face turned a little red with excitement.

On the contrary, Lingmeng, who has been arguing with Lin Wei for a while recently, looks quite calm at this time, and this girl who Lin Han explained as being smuggled from the Celestial Empire seems to be watching the game on the spot.

But. For Lingmeng's words, Lin Wei, who was sitting next to him, pouted a little, hum, this little is pretending. And it must be pretending!

Of course. Lin Han, who was on the court at this time, naturally didn't know about these things in the stands, in fact, when he played, when the players from both sides walked onto the court, the Timberwolves' outside leader Ryder found Lin Han.

For Lin Han, Isaiah Ryder is almost extremely bitter, the Timberwolves who were able to beat Lin Han on the offensive end was one of the best young players in the NBA last season, and they are known as the four strongest rookie outside players with Lin Han. The identity of the four-level swingman has made him the true son of the Timberwolves for a long time.

But in the end, as a rookie young player. When Lin Han clashed with Drexler and Pippen and other bigwig players, Ryder actually became the sought-after of Pippen and Drexler and others, as a young man, a rookie, it doesn't matter if he doesn't help Lin Han in the confrontation between the old and the new, he is actually very mentally retarded and stands on the side of Pippen and others against Lin Han, and was finally blown up by Lin Han, which also makes him a young outsider with an incomparably bright future who has been marked with a question mark by many people!

And this season, among the four small swingmen last season, Lin Han, who ranked first, has been the second in the league so far this season, the second in the league in scores, fourth in assists, second in steals, and first in the rebounding list with an average of 14 rebounds per game. The block list is also ranked first with an average of 4.3 blocks per game, although these numbers will definitely decline by the end of the season, but there is no doubt that the four little swingers were already one of the best players in the league, at least in terms of numbers, no one has been able to brush Lin Han!

Hardaway, who is in second place among the four small swingmen, has maintained the upward momentum of last season this season, as a swingman, averaging 23 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists per game has made him one of the league's most first-line stars now, and in the previous All-Star vote, Hardaway has been the guard in the East.

As for the other Marshburn, although the Mavericks' record this season is still average, but Mashburn has scored 5o points in a single game against Pippen's defense, and so far this season has averaged a terrifying 25 points per game, and is currently second only to Jordan in the scoring list, Lin Han and other five players are ranked sixth, and he is also ranked fourth in the forward position after Malone in the All-Star vote, and it seems that it is also possible to enter the All-Star this season, if this guy really makes the All-Star, Then it's really time to move on the road to quasi-superstardom!

Four little swingers, Lin Han is already impacting the league's No. 1 player, delusionally thinking of being crowned the king of the ball after defeating Jordan, and Hardaway is already impacting the league's superstar position, as long as he enters the All-Star this year, gains more honors in the regular season, and goes further in the playoffs, then he will be able to achieve the superstar position, as for Mashburn, the small forward is also ready to charge to the quasi-superstar position, it can be said that in addition to him, the player who is dragging his feet, The rest of the players are on a good path.

And what about him? The Timberwolves' record this season is only a little better than the Clippers, and he is still the second-to-last in the West, and he himself is only averaging more than 2o points per game, not even 21 points, even if there is no improvement in the number of Jù, he seems to be a little stagnant in terms of strength and ability, compared with the other three of the four small swing people, Ryder has really been left far behind!

Lynghan was famous for that last season. We are no longer a grade, and this sentence has tormented Ryder almost day and night, because not only he and Lin Han are no longer players of the same grade. Judging from the current exhibition, even he and Hardaway and Mashburn do not seem to be players of the same grade.

And who caused this qiē?

Of course it's Lin Han, if it weren't for Lin Han's suppression and ravage of him last season, Ryder doesn't think he will be as good as Mashburn, even if he can't be compared to Lynham and Hardaway, but it will definitely not be worse than Mashburn, and now. He could feel that because of Lin Han's existence, he couldn't make progress!

If he couldn't beat Lin Han, that's what he has achieved and even his entire career. Every time he thinks about this, Ryder is almost all iron-faced!

Although he didn't like Lin Han very much, although he really wanted to defeat Lin Han, he knew it very well. Lin Han's strength is very strong. At least he is impossible to defeat, if in the past, Lin Han's teammates and Ma Long and Stockton and others would be even more difficult for him to challenge, it can be said that he wants to find Lin Han for revenge, it is really no chance at all!

And now, when Lin Han left the Jazz team, his opportunity has finally come!

"Lin Han. I'm going to beat you in this game, and I'm going to sue you. Leaving the Utah Jazz is one of the most rubbish decisions you'll ever make in your life! ”

Looking at this old opponent with an extremely ugly face, Lin Han was also stunned, what is the worst decision in my life to leave the Jazz team?

"Lin Han, you have a very good opportunity, an opportunity to be the envy of the whole world, you have the strongest team in the world to support your cousin, to be honest, I am really jealous of you, if I was in the Jazz last season, I would have been able to win the championship and the MVP of the Finals, and even I could create a dynasty and a miracle like Jordan!"

"And you, you could have had this qiē, but in the end you gave up this qiē very idiotically, and what about me? I'm still in a bad team, constantly struggling, constantly struggling, this qiē is all your fault! ”

"But now I'm happy, because I'm not alone in a bad team with no future, and you're in a team that is worse than me!"

When Ryder finished speaking, the Timberwolves' dominant player's expression was almost hideous, and even the surrounding Timberwolves and Lakers players were taken aback by Ryder at this time.

"Do you know why you can never cross me?"

"What?!"

"Because I have the courage to create a qiē, and you have nothing, you're just a coward escaping from reality, that's all"

After Lin Han finished speaking, he walked directly to his team's halfcourt, while the rest of the Lakers also followed Lin Han after taking a pity at the Timberwolves player.

Looking at Lin Han's back, Ryder's whole body trembled with anger, and thinking of Lin Han's indifferent attitude that he almost didn't take him seriously just now, a sentence that made him very unhappy, the Timberwolves' leading player gritted his teeth and squeaked.

In the current NBA, interior players are very important, and there are almost no teams that can play well with small ball, even if they have played small ball for more than ten or twenty years, they are now combining the tactics of combining inside and outside with the small ball style of play, the team's interior line is the legendary center of the Lakers AC Green and Barkley, one of the league's best power forwards, even if it is the Warriors who played a big or four games in the playoffs last season, This season, it is also the big forward Gugliotta who got the Washington bullets and the center Sakkari of the Heat, when a team like the Warriors starts to play the twin towers, it basically means that the small-ball tactics have completely disappeared from the mainstream NBA teams!

Therefore, at the beginning of the season, no matter how amazing the Mavericks, Pistons, Lakers and Kings are, in the eyes of most experts, these teams will sooner or later fall to the bottom of the list, which is the current NBA reality!

And this reality also directly made Rydell, who saw Lin Han empty, now have the courage to stand in front of Lin Han and roar directly!

The Timberwolves in this game are center Leitner, power forward Lukes, small forward Ryddle, scoring guard Doug West, and point guard Garland. But the Twin Towers are weak defensively and don't have enough basket deterrence.

Even if such an inside line can score again, it will be exploded in this league now. And it's such a bad interior combination that can make the Timberwolves and the Lakers scream, which shows how weak the Lakers' interior line is in the eyes of these people.

Especially after Rodman has been criticized for becoming a waste that can be used for retirement in recent times, the Lakers' interior line is considered to have completely collapsed.

Therefore, even an inside line like the Timberwolves dared to say that if they stepped on the Lakers before the start of this game, they would step on the Lakers, but when this game started. Just when he was jumping the ball, when Antonio Harvey, the center of the team, defeated Shaun Lukes of the Timberwolves when he was jumping the ball, Ryder who wanted to beat Lin Han with the overall strength of the team in this game was a little blind.

Because in his mind. The Lakers are definitely going to fall behind as soon as they get on the court, and this team is definitely not comparable to the Timberwolves in terms of jumping ball or other aspects, after all, this is also the source of confidence for him to dare to fight against Lin Han!

And when Xavi's rare jump ball succeeded. When Limham advances with the ball. When the two big men of the Timberwolves couldn't keep up with the degree of killing, as the player opposite Lin Han in this game, Ryder was almost directly crushed by Lin Han to the basket to complete a dragon dunk under the basket!

The Timberwolves' weak defense has left the Magic on the sidelines a little incredulous, and he even now wonders if the team has really lost to this team in the preseason.

At this time, the Magic was wondering if the team had lost to the Timberwolves in the preseason, and the Lakers fans on the sidelines of the court were ignited after seeing Lin Han crush Ryder to complete the score. And looking at Lin Han, who was enjoying the cheers of thousands of people, Rydell's already not very good-looking face was completely blue at this time!

If we say on the offensive end. The Timberwolves can't defend the Lakers, so for them, they can also find their way back on the defensive end, after all, the biggest advantage of the interior team compared to the outside team is actually on the offensive end, and the offensive end of the interior team is absolutely dominant.

With Leitner's all-round ability, no player on the Lakers team can stop Leitner, Rodman? This guy has long been a waste!

Therefore, when the Timberwolves attacked, after Ryder received Garland's pass in the half, in the face of Lin Han's defense, he was not ready to beat Lin Han at all, or hung the basketball in his hand directly to Leitner, the white center of the Timberwolves who was ready to beat Rodman inside!

As a white insider, Leitner's style of play is a little soft, and his athleticism is not too good, but as the first player in the NCAA that year, a member of the Dream Team, although he was ridiculed and humiliated by Jordan and other bigwigs when he was on the Dream Team, but in any case, Leitner is a player of the Dream Team, and there are still some in terms of strength, at least he can score 16+7 per game in the season, although it is difficult for such a number to enter the All-Star or quasi-All-Star level now, But with his height, it should be no problem to hit Rodman, a waste man in the mouth of media experts.

But to the surprise of Leitner and Ryder or other Timberwolves players, Leitner did not push Rodman away after half a day under the basket, Rodman's close top defense is his best play, recently because of the lessons of Olajuwon and David Robinson and others, especially after his top defense is useless to Olajuwon and David Robinson, he even doubts his defensive characteristics.

Although Rodman has not fully recovered now, there are still some problems both physically and psychologically, but since being accepted by Lin Han, there is a little bit of Rodman that has changed, at least on the court, there is no longer the feeling that other Lakers players have nothing to do with him, if you can't prevent it, you can't prevent it, and it has nothing to do with him if the Lakers lose or not.

For most of the players who have not integrated into the team, this mentality is normal, Rodman was like this when he was with the Spurs, the Spurs' wins and losses have a hairy relationship with him, if Rodman really tries his best to defend, ** Vicky does not have so much material to cut out a video of Rodman's embarrassment.

Of course, if Rodman wants him to sacrifice a lot for Lin Han like other Lakers players, it is basically impossible. Overall, Rodman is now about the same as Dominic Wilkins, after giving Lin Hanbai the pier. Professionalism is back, and that's actually enough for the Lakers and Linham.

Before that, Lin Han hadn't thought about asking this guy to sacrifice anything for him!

Leitner's strength is very good, and his offensive skills are very comprehensive, but he is not Olajuwon or David Robinson after all, he is just a white pure interior lineman, and his footwork and ball handling are not so good. After being stubbornly resisted by Rodman, he forcibly pushed two steps inside, and he couldn't push Rodman at all. The Timberwolves' center can only endure the huge force passed from Rodman and use his height advantage to directly prepare for a side hook!

And at this time, when Leitner had just jumped and was about to hook his hand, the ball had not yet been completed, and he was directly fanned out by Lin Han on the side!

"Your offense is too slow!"

"Dennis. Pretty anti-proof. Remember that feeling! ”

When Lin Han completed this block and directly fanned the ball to the outside line, he didn't forget to give Rodman a thumbs up when he fell from the air, just after taking a look at Lin Han and Rodman, Lightner looked at Ryder who was still standing behind Lin Han at this time, and Lightner was very unhappy!

He really didn't expect that Ryder couldn't even stand people, and Lin Han had such a good opportunity to return to the basket to help defend!

And at this time, Eddie Jones, who succeeded in stealing Linhan's block rebound with Garland, got rid of Garland's defense directly. When he rushed to the Timberwolves halfcourt, the entire Timberwolves half was already empty. When Eddie Jones dunked successfully in the cheers of the Lakers fans, the score of this game has become 4-o, and the Timberwolves, who originally wanted to beat the Lakers in this game, have felt the huge pressure from the Lakers at this time!

Especially Ryder, the show after the start of the game was really completely unexpected!

In this case, when the Timberwolves attacked again, when Ryder was about to pass the ball again to find Lightner, the restless young small forward was directly cut off by Lin Han when he passed!

Lin Han's ability to break the pass is almost second in the league, and Ryder is not a master pass player in the first place, plus he is still distracted when facing Lin Han's pass, which is almost looking for death!

And after Lin Han completed the steal and completed the dunk on the fast break, the game only lasted less than a minute, and the Lakers were already 6-O leading at home!

"I knew how the Timberwolves could be the Lakers' opponent!"

"We lost in the preseason just carelessly, and now after we run in, the Timberwolves are nothing, nothing!"

"Yes, although we are indeed a little afraid of the inside team, but is the Timberwolves a strong team on the inside? Hahahaha! ”

When the Lakers directly beat the Timberwolves less than a minute into the game, when the Lakers directly started the full-court and half-court tight defense against the Timberwolves in the first quarter under such a lineup, the Timberwolves almost had to work hard to dribble for more than half the court!

Because Garland, the point guard of this team, is a very ordinary point guard, who did not play in the NBA last season, as for everyone other than Garland, even the strongest outside Ryder has average ball handling ability, in this case, when the more athletic Lakers Timberwolves came to press all over the court, even the Timberwolves head coach Bill Blas on the sidelines was startled.

It's not that the Lakers' full-court pressing is unexpected, in fact, many teams have used this tactic against the Timberwolves this season, and the Timberwolves' shortcomings are so obvious, how can they not be exploited?

The point is that the Lakers, who were scattered in the preseason, are almost a mess of the Lakers both offensively and defensively, although there is still no tactical system on the offensive end, but the cooperation between the players has obviously become normal, and even more so on the defensive end, when Lin Han and Rodman can cooperate when they are pressing, instead of Lin Han on defense, and the other is watching from the sidelines, the danger caused by Lin Han and Rodman to the opponent's offensive line is absolutely immeasurable!

After losing Grant, the Bulls also lacked an interior pillar, but why was this team so much better than the Lakers in terms of record?

In addition to the fact that Jordan and Pippen do have a tacit understanding and the Bulls have a complete tactical system, the more important point is that Jordan and Pippen's outside pressing defense can make most interior teams unable to swing the inside advantage at all, because the interior players can't even catch the ball on the inside, just like last season's Western Conference Finals Jazz pressed the Rockets so that Olajuwon couldn't catch the ball!

And now, when Rodman began to integrate into the team on the defensive end, when Lin Han and Rodman continued to press the opponent's ball-handler like crazy, it may be difficult for a casual interior team in the league to defeat the Lakers!

Therefore, as this game progressed, even the Lakers players who had a lot of opinions about Rodman, and even those who didn't like Rodman very much, were directly silent after seeing Rodman finally work the court, and after synergizing with Lin Han, these Lakers players were directly silent.

Although the Timberwolves are a very weak team, the Lakers' defense against the interior team on the defensive end in this game is definitely the best this season!

Even in the game with the Jazz, Malone played so much, but it was just Lin Han's personal defensive excellence, and it had nothing to do with the team's coordination, but now it is completely different!

Therefore, when this game ended, when the Lakers defeated the Timberwolves with a score of 30 points 116-85 on their home court, facing the entire boiling Forum Arena, the players on the Lakers and the head coach Magic on the sidelines were very happy, and as a player, Lin Han did not play in the fourth quarter, and when the game was over, Lin Han on the sidelines was already applauding the Lakers bench players on the court.

It can be seen that Lin Han is very satisfied with this game, and it is very important that the team can complete a certain degree of sublimation before the battle with Jordan and the Bulls!

"Dennis, good job"

Finally, looking at the somewhat silent Lakers inside line next to him, Lin Han directly opened his hands, and Rodman chose to hug Lin Han after a little hesitation.

Although the Lakers players who saw this scene had a somewhat complicated face at this time, they were not ridiculing Rodman out loud.

As for Magic and Adelman, as well as Hubbie Brown, and even Jerry West in the stands also smiled and nodded when he saw this scene.

"It seems that Rodman's body has almost recovered, and his spirit is much better than some time ago, and the team is finally on the right track!"

Especially Jerry West, as the head of this team, the Lakers are in a very good situation right now.

"Now it's up to Petrie to get that old man over."

Thinking of the old man at Princeton University, Jerry West also shook his head with a wry smile, in the American basketball world, there are not many people who can give him a headache, and that old man full of artistic cells is definitely one.

After defeating the Timberwolves at home on December 2o, the Lakers defeated the Kings 1o6-97 on their home court, and Lin Han once again won a double twenty in this game, 28 points and 21 rebounds, although the average triple-double per game is gone, but it seems that Lin Han's road to rebounding this season has become smoother and smoother!

Similarly, before the Christmas game between the Lakers and the Bulls on December 25, the Lakers finally achieved a long-awaited winning streak! (To be continued!)
