Chapter Forty-Four: Peyton's Murder (Asking for Recommendation)
"It's so painful, it's so painful to play a game like this at the start of the season, and I don't want to move after half the game"
"Now everyone has not fully entered the state of the NBA regular season, the physical reserve and game state are not at a high level, and now in this game, everyone is forcibly improving the game state to the highest state, and in this case the game is very tired."
"I really envy you young people, you can do whatever you want with your body"
When the Jazz and Tone's half of the game ended, in the locker room of the away Utah Jazz, the Jazz players who had just fought the court at this time were all sitting crookedly in their positions at this time, especially the team's extremely veterans, almost all of whom were a little prostrated at this time.
"Hahaha, not all young people can, Brian should feel good now, for the first time in his career, the excitement is very good, but Lin, why are you so empty now, I see that you can fall asleep directly on the ground"
Obviously, before the game, everyone doubted Sloan's decision to let Lin Han replace Jeff Malone, and now no one will think so, like the two bigwigs Stockton and Malone who complained before the game, and even joked with Lin Han at this time, and it can be seen that these two bigwigs were very satisfied with Lin Han's game in the first half.
Joke, in the face of Payton's suffocating defense, even Stockton in the playoffs last season couldn't withstand it, in fact, in the playoffs last season, Payton defended Stockton and Jeff Malone and other Jazz guard players, most of these players were not very good when they were in opposition to Payton, which was one of the main reasons why the Jazz playoffs were out of shape last season, and the Jazz's entire guard line was abnormal and could not help the team at critical moments.
And, more importantly, even a fool can see that Payton in this game is much better in defensive intensity and defensive ability than last season's playoffs, in this case, Lin Han is still 7 of 15 in the first half, 7 of 8 free throws, and scored 21 points in the half, especially in the second quarter when Ma Long's physical fitness reached the limit, Lin Han's steady score stabilized the team's situation, and it can be said that he is one of the most critical players in the team's game. Lin Han's swing like this can no longer be said to be excellent, it should be said that the table is excellent, maybe after this half, Lin Han's status in this team will be truly established.
It's just that at this time, in the face of the ridicule of his teammates, Lin Han can only smile bitterly, he now feels like his whole body is falling apart, in the first half Lin Han played a total of almost 15 minutes of the game, just half of the first two games Lin Han played half of each game, just half of the time will make Lin Han feel more tired than playing a whole game, so tired that he doesn't even want to move his fingers, such a strong dialogue is too consuming.
Of course, at this time, Lin Han was very tired, and all the players in the Jazz locker room could see it, so the Jazz team doctor had been massaging Lin Han's legs, and one of Lin Han's younger brothers, Aaron Williams, an inside player who entered the game squad in this game, also stood behind Lin Han and massaged Lin Han's shoulders and hands.
"If I had played a series in the playoffs, I think I'd have fallen apart."
At this time, Lin Han thought a little bitterly in his heart, and then thought that his next games were likely to be equipped with full-time defensive players by the opponent, which made Lin Han extremely bitter, at this time he really understood what the difficulties faced by the rookie named Jennings that Ellie said at the beginning, if every game is of such intensity, it will not take long for the average young player to be completely defeated, and the rookie who is not strong in willpower will basically go all the way, maybe only like Jordan, It is a natural genius like Olajuwon who can get stronger and stronger, and finally embark on the road to legend.
"Okay, everyone's table so far in this game is great, we actually led by 5 points at halftime, which has completed our halftime task"
"I'll make a change to the team's lineup in the second half, Lin, you don't have to play from the third quarter, take the time to rest below, Joey and David in the third quarter"
"Lin, Brian, you guys have no problem, right?"
After Jerry Sloan laid out the lineup for the second half, the head coach of the Jazz also looked at Lin Han and Brian Russell, and at this time, Lin Han also shook his head with his prostration body, saying that there was no problem, seeing that his boss said that there was no problem, although he was a little reluctant, Russell also shook his head.
Lin Han is indeed no longer suitable to play the second half now, Sloan is also protecting him by doing this, the team needs him to be able to contribute at critical moments, in this team, the game is not a critical moment to not drop the chain of players Sloan really can't find much, Malone and Stockton are very stable, they may not drop the chain, but there is no such player among the others, the Jazz used to be like this, and now Lin Han is very good.
And another point is that although Lin Han and Karl Malone are very good in this game, Joey Humphries, who is also the substitute and Jane Humphries and David Bennott, are also very good, and they played better than in the playoffs last season, which is also a reward for these two.
So after Sloane finished arranging, Humphries and Bennaught, who returned to the team, were very happy, and the joy on their faces couldn't be suppressed.
Lin Han's table is too much pressure on the two of them, if he doesn't show some ability, I'm afraid Sloan will really give up on them completely, as long as he plays a better table than Lin Han in the second half, although the opponent Payton is very tough, and they usually know that they will definitely not be the opponent of the other party, but this game Peyton has been consumed a lot by Lin Han, and their hand feels really good today, I don't think I'm going to be worse than last season's playoff table, and last season's playoffs were miserable when they faced the sound.
Of course, at this time, although Humphries and Benoth are full of confidence, but Sloan has been puzzled, although he is willing to give Humphries and Bennott a chance, but he never thinks that these two can really replace the role of Lin Han, so the key to the Jazz game is that in the third quarter without Lin Han, this team should not lose too much, otherwise there will be no chases in the fourth quarter.
"It seems that Lin is crazy and has a really big consumption, and he didn't play in the second half, and he played in the playoffs last season against Humphries and Bennott, who were out of tune, and it seems that Coach Sloan has a lot of confidence in both of them."
After the start of the second half of the game, the Jazz, who made a huge substitution adjustment again, almost startled the two commentators on the sidelines, Sloan really dared to do this, in the face of Payton, who was in such a defensive state in this game, let the team's second and third positions be replaced by Humphries and Bennott, isn't this tantamount to suicide?
In fact, head coach George Carr was also ecstatic when he saw the players on the Jazz court at this time, Lin Han's sudden appearance made him and his team very wolf, but it seems that this strange Chinese player is not very physical.
"This game is won"
The ecstatic George Karl quickly gave two orders to the assistant coach next to him, and then Yin's assistant coach shouted a few words at Yin's player on the sidelines.
George Karl was ready to close the game in the third quarter.
It's not that he's arrogant, nor is it a disdain for the Jazz, but that Yin really has such an ability in this game, Payton's defensive state is too hot, hot enough to strangle any outside player of the opponent, in this case, without the Jazz with Lin Han on the court, George Carr is confident that it will be difficult for the Jazz to score except for Karl Malone.
And when the third quarter of this game began, it was indeed as George Karl expected, Payton quickly locked Humphries, the strongest outside line on the field with the Jazz's offensive ability, this guy couldn't catch the ball under Payton's key care, let alone offense, and Payton actually had the spare strength to help defend Karl Malone while locking Humphries, which simply didn't give the Jazz a way to live.
"Brutal, really brutal"
In a luxurious bedroom in Lin Han's internal space, Ellie was also paying attention to the game, at this time, Ellie, who was holding a large bucket of popcorn in her hand, looked at the Jazz team who was almost blown up on the court, and even forgot to eat the popcorn.
These Jazz players on the court can only rely on Stockton to strengthen their offense to stabilize the situation a little, and as for the other players, except for Malone, who can score inefficiently, no one else can share the Jazz's scoring burden.
"It's just a big killing."
Watching Payton on the court on the court, after abusing Humphries, he went to abuse Bennott, and by the way, he also helped defend against Malone, Lin Han suddenly felt that his team could be so weak? Or is the opponent too strong?
"It seems that Jerry's reform is correct, and some people really can't be trusted"
At this time, the Jazz head coach Sloan on the sidelines was still silent, as if he had expected the bad situation of the Jazz on the court, but the Jazz assistant coach Phil Johnson next to Sloan shook his head helplessly.
While this kind of game may seem painful for the Jazz assistant coach, it can also make them realize a lot of things.
