Chapter 170: All-Star Starters and Rewards
(Ball subscription, ball monthly pass)
After the game with the Pistons, the Jazz, who had abused the Pistons away from home, were very happy, in fact, for Lin Han, it was more of a sigh, after all, this Pistons, the former blackest team in the league, fell apart this season, and those strong men in the past also slowly began to leave or fall this season, as a young man like the rising sun, Lin Han is indeed very embarrassed to see the current miserable situation of this team.
Of course, Lin Han is really a little embarrassed, but Stockton is happy, Stockton is happy, then the entire Jazz team is happy, and defeating Isaiah Thomas one-on-one can be regarded as fulfilling his long-cherished wish and untying Stockton's heart knot.
Moreover, Stockton is not the only one who untied the knot in this game, for example, the media who have been asking Lin Han whether he has lost confidence in his offense in the last game, and are ready to admit defeat in advance when preparing to fight Pippen, their knots have also been untied, because in this game, Lin Han threw 25 shots in just three quarters, 14 of 25 shots, scored 38 points, and grabbed 12 rebounds, if this game has a fourth quarter, Then with Lin Han's feel and offensive desire in this game, there is no problem at all to score 4o points.
It can be said that judging from the Pistons' game, Lin Han's offense has almost no problems, and his state has slowly recovered to a normal level, although compared with the peak level of the Rockets, although it is a little worse. But it won't be as speechless as when Chu Yu was injured.
In this case, after the game with the Pistons, Lin Han is very much looking forward to the battle between Lin Han and Pippen two days later. Of course, as one of the most focused games of the month, it is not only Lin Han looking forward to it, it can be said that fans all over the United States and even fans around the world are looking forward to this game.
After all, Lin Han was so crazy after entering the NBA before, basically there were few direct opponents of his opponents in the league, although he was abused by Starks of the New York Knicks when he first entered the league. But in the last 3o seconds, Lin Han responded to his growth with a miracle moment, and in the subsequent battle, Starks was no longer Lin Han's opponent, as for Richmond, who had high hopes before. After being defeated by Lin Han with a 'trick', although the king's leading player was a little unconvinced, it should not be said that he was a little unconvinced, but quite unconvinced. But no matter how unconvinced you are. But as one of the few down-to-earth good people in the NBA, Richmond still admitted that Lin Han is indeed better than him and is more suitable for the title of the No. 1 scoring guard in the West.
As for Payton, another player who is considered to be a lifelong rival with Lin Han, although Payton is a little older than Lin Han, and his strength is also extremely strong, especially the defensive ability is indeed up to the requirements of being able to block Lin Han, but now this popular player is still too young, if he can be a little more sophisticated. can really compete with Lin Han, but as for when Peyton will be able to mature. No one knows.
Therefore, although Olajuwon just taught Lin Han who led the team to attack crazy on the court not long ago, although the Jazz lost that game, although Olajuwon did make Lin Han play very painfully, but Olajuwon is an inside line after all, and Lin Han is an outside line, in this case, looking at the entire NBA, it seems that the outside line that can contain Lin Han is in addition to Jordan, who has not yet returned, I am afraid that only Jordan's teammate Pippen is left.
Therefore, now as the league's scoring champion, many people are looking forward to whether Lin Han, the strongest spear in the league, can penetrate Pippen's strongest shield.
However, judging from the voices of the two parties before the game, Pippen is more confident, and has long challenged Lin Han, and it has become Pippen's daily routine in recent times, if in recent times, which point has not seen Pippen's remarks about Lin Han in the newspaper, I am afraid it will be a very strange thing, of course, this can be understood in the eyes of many people as Pippen's contempt for Lin Han, and it can also be understood as Pippen's confidence in himself, as a champion player, he has such self-confidence capital, and also has such arrogant capital.
As for Lin Han on the other side, after being defeated by Olajuwon's Rockets and repaired, Lin Han's next game table can be described as miserable, of course, everyone knows that most of the players will fall into a trough after a level explosion, Lin Han will fall into a trough after facing the Rockets after scoring 68 points, and then falling into a trough is inevitable, and there is nothing too wrong to make people feel wrong.
It's just that, for many people, there is really nothing wrong with this, but it can't be put on Lin Han, as the current NBA's fire-gathering object, Lin Han is like Jordan back then, there are black spots, he will definitely be hacked, there are no black spots, and the black spots must be black, the team with a high score can be black, the team with a high score can be black, the team with a low score can win the game, and the team with a low score should be black, and now, Lin Han was in the team with a low score and the team lost, the blackest black spot.
Therefore, although the media in the United States likes such a Lin Han very much, many Lin Han fans or other fans are worried about Lin Han, after all, Pippen is not a good stubble, since the Bulls' leading player said that he wants to give Lin Han a good look, then no matter whether Lin Han is strong or weak, he wants to give Lin Han a good look.
Especially in the new MVP rankings just announced, although the Jazz suffered three consecutive defeats, but Malone and Lin Han are still in the top two and Pippen is still third, which will stimulate him even more, after all, since the Jazz have lost like this, they can't remove Lin Han and Ma Long, which means that if nothing else, these two are basically the biggest favorites in this year's MVP, after all, the record of 37 consecutive wins is too terrifying, and it is too much to create ZĂ o history, Such a record is almost comparable to the so-called impossible record of 7o games in a single season.
Therefore, Pippen at this time was preparing to create a little accident on Lin Han's body, and this game was naturally the best choice.
But the good thing is that in the two games that just ended, the Jazz and the Nets and the Jazz and the Pistons played. Lin Han showed a good offensive and defensive state in these two games, which also made many people look forward to the game between the Bulls and Jazz and the matchup between Lin Han and Pippen, after all, the gap between the two is too big if the state of the two is too big. Then it really doesn't look that good.
So after the game between the Jazz and the Pistons ended, soon the public opinion in the NBA was surrounded by the showdown between Lin Han and Pippen, of course, although the matchup between Lin Han and Pippen was a huge thing, but it still did not cover up another huge thing.
On the morning of January 3o, when the NBA media released the final ten-man roster and the final round of voting results for this year's All-Star Game, this matter quickly became the most talked about event in the NBA. Because the NBA's All-Star Game is one of the most important games in the NBA every year, in addition to the Finals, it is the All-Star Game and the Christmas War, last season's NBA All-Star Game. The ratings of the Utah Double Attack Jordan broke through a new high, surpassing the terrifying 14% ratings, and this year's All-Star Game was also extremely eye-catching after Jordan's departure.
It's just that people didn't expect it. When the results of the first round of voting were announced. When the Bulls' role player BJ Armstrong appeared on the list and became the Eastern Conference guard vote king, the whole world was in an uproar, and the whole world was waiting to see the jokes of David Stern and the NBA, and now when the final NBA voting results were announced, there was really a result that shocked everyone.
The most controversial Bulls point guard BJ Armstrong was elected to the NBA All-Star Game with 530,000 votes, and the guy who was used by Jordan fans to disgust the NBA and the national media was really pushed into the NBA All-Star Game by Jordan fans and Bulls fans!
And Hardaway, the darling of public opinion who has always been very loved by the media, although he fought to catch up at the last moment, finally surpassed his teammate Nick Anderson. The final result was 430,000 votes, although it was not able to enter. Of course, most of the reasons why Hardaway was able to save face are that in addition to his recent appearance, Jordan fans are now busy dealing with Lin Han and can't take care of him at all.
After BJ Armstrong won the position of the Eastern guard vote, the other guard position is Kenny Anderson of the Nets, who defeated the 470,000 votes of the Cavaliers Mark Price with 510,000 votes and was selected as an All-Star, and this season Kenny Anderson is now averaging 19+1o per game, as for his guard partner Armstrong after Jordan left this season, his table is good, and now he can average 14 points per game and deliver 4 assists, which is considered the number of point guards at the bottom of a strong team. Of course, such a number cannot be compared with Kenny Anderson or Mark Price and others who are suppressed by him.
However, in general, the reason why Jordan fans can push Armstrong to the position of guard vote king is because Isaiah Thomas's injury and Jordan's departure have caused the two collectives of the NBA All-Star Eastern guard position in the past eight years to fall, and the current Eastern guard is in the chaos of the crowd, only 7 players with more than 4o million votes, and the entire vote is scattered, which can also be seen that without Jordan and Thomas, There is not a single leader in the East at the back of the day, and everyone is about the same, except for Armstrong, of course.
Otherwise, looking at the position of Western guard, Lin Han's total votes directly after the end of the voting are 1.27 million, directly breaking Jordan's record of 1.21 million All-Star votes in the 199o-1991 season, becoming the player with the most votes in NBA history, and in addition to Lin Han, Stockton behind him is 550,000 votes, Drexler and Richmond are 480,000 votes and 460,000 votes respectively, in the position of Eastern guard, Lin Han is absolutely the same as Jordan back then, that is really unbeatable.
Of course, Lin Han and Stockton won the All-Star Game guard position at the same time, which is also extremely surprising to many people, but thinking of the previous Jazz team's record, the terrifying winning streak, it would be strange if these two couldn't get in.
In addition to the fact that there is some fun in the East and West guard positions, the forward positions are just as interesting, with Pippen, who received 930,000 votes in last season's All-Star Game, and who has been even better this season. In the end, although he retained the position of the Eastern Conference forward vote leader, he only got 520,000 votes, which was not as good as his teammate Armstrong. There have been a lot of media revelations before, Pippen's domineering in the Bulls has angered a lot of Jordan fans, and even some Jordan fans are deliberately boycotting Pippen, pushing Armstrong to the position of All-Star guard vote king is not only to humiliate the American media and the NBA, pushing Nick Anderson's votes in front of Hardaway can humiliate Hardaway, and pushing Armstrong's votes in front of Pippen can't humiliate Pippen or teach the somewhat inflated Bulls forward a lesson?
Of course, no one knows what the truth is. But after the results of today's All-Star voting come out, Pippen will definitely be even more angry, isn't he playing so crazy this season just to improve his status in the team. He didn't want to replace Jordan, he just didn't want to be the second leader of the team anymore, and he just wanted to have a certain voice and decision-making power in the team, is this also wrong. Reduced him by nearly 50,000 from last season's All-Star vote? Where are these 5o million fans?
Where are these 5o million fans? Pippen may not be clear, but it can be seen in the voting that Nets forward Derrick Coleman, who voted for the All-Star Game last season with only more than 2o votes, became another forward in the East with 510,000 votes this season, and he defeated players such as Larry Johnson and Dominic Wilkins.
However, in the center forward position, it is still relatively normal. O'Neal, the league's most popular center, lived up to expectations with 750,000 votes, beating Ewing with 460,000 votes and Mourning with 40,000 votes to become the center in the East.
On the west side, the position of center in the west was won by Olajuwon with 560,000 votes. And behind him Chris Webber is 490,000 votes, Admiral and Mutombo have 4o million and 380,000 votes, respectively.
As for the forward side of the West, although the Jazz have been really good in recent times, Malone still has not compared to Barkley in popularity, although Barkley has been injured recently, and he may not even be able to participate in the All-Star, but he still became the king of the Western forward position with a high vote of 860,000 votes, as for Malone, the votes are 550,000 in second place, defeating his sworn enemy Sean Kemp, Kemp's votes are 5o million votes.
At this point, the All-Stars of the East and the All-Stars of the West were all born, the East side is the center O'Neal, the forwards Pippen and Coleman, the guards are Anderson and Armstrong, and the Western side is Olajuwon in the center, the forwards are Barkley and Malone, and the guards are Linham and Stockton.
The Jazz's selection of three players to the NBA All-Star Game and Armstrong's ability to become the Eastern Conference guard ticket leader became the focus of all NBA fans and media on January 3o.
Although the showdown between Lin Han and Pippen was slightly leaned back at this time, these two are also still the focus, and now everyone cares about Pippen naturally cares about whether Jordan's fans can really suppress him, and cares about Lin Han, naturally because Lin Han, Stockton and Malone all became NBA All-Star games, this kind of thing is not common, the last time this kind of thing was in the 85-86 season, when the Lakers' magic, James Worthy and Abdul-Jabbar were selected as All-Stars at the same time, Now Jazz has replicated such a record.
Therefore, after coming to Chicago, after getting such a news from the media, whether it is Linham, Stockton or Malone, they are very happy, and the other Jazz players are also extremely happy, after all, this is a huge encouragement to their table this season.
"Hahaha, don't forget, we had the best record in the West before February, and Jerry is already sure to be the All-Star head coach this year."
When the Jazz were happy for the three of Lin Han, they did not forget Jerry Sloan, the current record of the Jazz this season is 39-3, and the second in the league is 34-7, there is no possibility of a threat to the Jazz, but the three teams in the East bite very tightly, the New York Knicks now have a record of 29-11, the Bulls now have a record of 28-12, the Hawks have a record of 28-12, and the Hawks have a record of 28-12. The Hawks and Knicks also have a game where their head coach Phil Jackson could become an All-Star head coach if the Bulls beat the Jazz, and last year's All-Star head coach was Pat Riley. According to the rule that a coach can't come twice, the Knicks are useless even if they are first, of course. If the Bulls lose, the Hawks lose and Phil Jackson loses, but if the Bulls lose and the Hawks win, it's completely different.
So for the game between the Jazz and the Bulls, the Bulls must go all out to win.
Of course, at this time, the Jazz are happy that the three leading players on the team are entering the All-Star and that Jerry Sloan is about to become the All-Star head coach, but the other group of people may not be happy.
For example, Pippen, when he learned from the media that Lin Han became a record vote king. And after his votes have shrunk by 400,000 compared to last year, the current face of the Bulls' leading player is very ugly, and even looking at his teammates on the Bulls team has no good face. Especially when looking at Armstrong, the Bulls' hardcore Jordan guard actually surpassed him in the votes, which made him embarrassed.
So, at this time, the game with the Jazz has not yet started. Pippen started a fire in the training gym. Although the media outside are speculating that Jordan's fans are suppressing him this year, as for whether it is true, they are not sure, Pippen is very sure, since Jordan fans are willing to send tickets to Armstrong, why can't they give them tickets to themselves at the same time? Last year, Jordan had more than 1oo votes, but he had more than 9o votes, which means that most of the fans who voted for Jordan voted for him. And this year? It's just miserable.
Of course, in the face of Pippen, who wanted to vent very much at this time. The other players of the Bulls, except for Pippen's hardcore like Kukoc and others, were still comforting Pippen at this time, and other Jordan faction such as Armstrong were all hiding away, and even at this time the Bulls' interior Grant was watching Pippen's jokes.
I can't help but laugh, this good friend of mine back then, and now my mortal enemy is like a Gone with the Wind, her heart is higher than the sky, and her life is thinner than paper, it's really like this, her ambition is too big, and she is also a person who doesn't know how to converge and only knows expansion, and that's how it turned out.
Even the Bulls' interior core thought that Pippen would be able to suffer another blow in the next game with the Jazz after this blow, preferably defeated by Lin Han, so that he would be even more happy.
So, when he thought of this, the bull laughed inside, and for a while, the bull's training hall immediately dropped to the freezing point, at this time Pippen was angry, and others didn't dare to face Pippen's anger even if they watched the excitement, what does Grant mean by this now? Of course, in the entire Bulls team, the only player who can work against Pippen now is probably Grant, so Pippen snorted coldly and was ready to leave the training hall and go back to the locker room, and Grant wanted to be okay at this time.
On the court, he played poorly, Pippen could indeed give him small shoes to wear, and he could insult him domineeringly, but off the court, he didn't think he couldn't even laugh.
"Anyway, if Michael doesn't come back this season, I'll be gone, and I don't want to be on the same team with this guy again"
Looking at Pippen's angry back, Grant also secretly thought with some disdain in his heart that if this team was still Pippen's decision, he really didn't want to stay.
Of course, Grant was thinking about Jordan's return at this time, and Jordan did come back at this time, and Jordan, who was already a baseball star of the Chicago White Sox, returned to the Bulls again.
However, this time he naturally didn't go to the training gym, although Jordan was very concerned about the Bulls after leaving the Bulls, but now he also knows that the team is Pippen's team, and he is not suitable to go to the team to stimulate Pippen, although Jordan is also very dissatisfied with Pippen's expansion in recent seasons, but Jordan is also very aware of his partner's character, knows that he has no guts to replace himself, and he has not thought about replacing himself, so he can play whatever he wants in the team, now is the time for him to be high-spirited, and when he encounters a setback, He wouldn't have swelled any longer.
Therefore, although many Bulls teammates called on Jordan to come back to take care of the former second leader, but Jordan refused, if he really made a move at this time, the relationship between him and Pippen would be completely broken, he knew very well that his teammate who would repay him was a donkey, and he could only follow him, which is also the reason why Jordan has been using a cage to deal with his relationship with Pippen in the past, and then wrap him up after impressing him in terms of strength, which is the best way to subdue Pippen.
So this time, he returned to the team not for anything else, but to watch today's game between the Bulls and Jazz, and he, like many others, is also quite looking forward to the showdown between Lin Han and Pippen.
"Boss, isn't it an all-star vote? This thing doesn't matter at all now, as long as you can beat Lin Han today and trample Lin Han under your feet, you won't be able to prove that you are the No. 1 outside line in the NBA now, and Lin Han, the All-Star vote king, is just a stepping stone for you."
"Boss, imagine that this is the NBA's All-Star Ticket King, which is much more interesting than being the ticket king yourself!"
In the locker room of the Bulls' training gym, Kukoc and some other Bulls players were trying to persuade Pippen, who was like an angry Bull at this time, and it seemed to be working well.
Especially after they stepped on Lin Hankua Pippen clearly, the effect was even better, at least at this time, Pippen was not as angry as before.
"Hmph, I'll let you be arrogant for a while, and after today's game is over, I'll make you look good!"
Thinking of this, Pippen squeezed his fist fiercely, and it seemed that this time he was ready to play for real.
At this time, Pippen was ready to play real in this game with the Jazz, and Lin Han, who was in the hotel room at this time, also gave a reward after hearing that the system confirmed that Lin Han was an All-Star.
Entering the NBA All-Star, Lin Han will be rewarded with a bronze milestone!
As long as it is a milestone reward, this is much more insuring than the pit dad's roulette wheel, and the roulette wheel is likely to be small or big or small, it all depends on luck, and bad luck may get a pit dad.
The milestone reward is to draw skills from a legendary player, and it is very likely to draw better skills, although it is difficult to want to be big, but it is better to be safe.
And this time, Lin Han drew a golden skill on a player named Arenas.
Arenas makes a pullup jumper with a three-pointer
Skill: Arenas-style three-point pull-up jump shot (golden A-level skill)
Skill level: 1v1
Skill attributes: This skill is a stop-and-go jump shooting skill, with 1v1 god-level convulsions and 1v-level fatal lore special effects
1v1 God-level Convulsion Special Effect: When the host uses this skill, the open three-point shooting rate decreases by 1o, the three-point line shooting rate decreases by 5%, the three-point line one-step shooting rate is 5%, the three-point line two-step shooting rate is increased by 1o, and the three-step shooting rate outside the three-point line is increased by 15%
1v1 Fatal Kill: When the host's team is within five points of the score, the three-point shooting rate of this skill is 1o, and when the host uses this skill to shoot the whistle lore in the game, the shooting rate is increased by 1o%, and you can predict in advance whether the lore can be scored.
When Lin Han got this inheritance, it can be said that he was directly stunned in the system space, and he was even more surprised than when he got Chamberlain's locking seal. (To be continued!)
