(Uncle Mu and the Nuggets in 1994 were the pinnacle of the rookie team leading the rookie team to make a big mess in the NBA, and since then, the grand occasion of Uncle Mu and the Nuggets has not appeared that year)

"Lin, congratulations on reaching the divisional finals for the first time in your career, your table is excellent in this game, and your table is excellent in this round of the series!"

In the fourth game between the Jazz and the Warriors, after the Jazz defeated the Warriors away, when Lin Han and the team's leading players Carl and Malone came to the post-game press conference, the reporters at the scene were in a commotion.

Before this time, since entering the playoffs, Lin Han was banned by Jerry Sloan again, and the extremely cautious Jerry Sloan directly banned Lin Han from all post-game visits in order to prevent Lin Han from talking to this group of reporters and affecting the team and his own state.

Therefore, after entering the playoffs, most of the Jazz's post-game press conferences were attended by Malone and Stockton, and before this game, Jerry Sloan, who wanted to make a new change to himself and wanted to understand his players' feelings, lifted the media ban on Lin Han, and this also made Lin Han very happy, of course, it was this group of reporters who were more happy than Lin Han.

Lin Han has been very high-energy since entering the playoffs, playing the first 5x5 number in NBA history in the first round of the playoffs, and becoming the third in the history of the league to score 6o points in the playoffs in the second round.

Although at this time, many fans who don't like Lin Han said that if Jordan met teammates like Malone and Stockton in the first season of his career. Jordan will be better than Lin Han, such an assumption does not need to be said, but one thing is certain. That is, Lin Han's performance in the playoffs is indeed excellent. That's why others used Jordan to press him.

Of course, at this time, in the face of almost excited reporters, Lin Han was also a little surprised, he really didn't think that these guys would still welcome him so much, after being lifted by Jerry Slon, Lin Han was ready to fight with these guys tonight, but from the current point of view, these guys don't seem to be ready to play tricks with him today.

"All of us have been excellent in this series. Basketball is not a one-man sport, and the NBA is no different, we all need to contribute to each other, and the reason why my watch looks slightly better is because my teammates have contributed more to me than I have contributed to them."

Although Lin Han was a little surprised at this time, he also said with a smile in the face of such a problem of the reporter deliberately making ball, and even when he said this, Lin Han looked at Ma Long on the side with a smile and said: "So, I am very fortunate that I have a group of selfless and great teammates."

When Lin Han looked at Ma Long and said the last sentence with a smile, not to mention the group of reporters at the scene, they were stunned, when did Lin Han become so modest. The last time he said that he wasn't counting jù brushes caused a lot of discussion in the NBA, and many people were sarcastic at the time that he was a big bad wolf who kept saying that he didn't eat sheep.

In recent times, although Lin Han's playoff table is very good, because the Jazz's playoff table is not as dominant as the regular season. So in recent times, there are a lot of people who are Black Jazz or Black Lin Han, of course, most of the players at this time Black Lin Han is naturally unlikely to be recognized by too many people, after all, Lin Han has laid the foundation of his own series after the first 6o points in this series, although he does not score much in the next few games, but there is no doubt about the role in the game, and the fans are not blind, Even the most demanding fans who don't like Lin Han the most are sure of Lin Han's performance, and at most they will say that Jordan will definitely be better than Lin Han if he is in the Jazz table, and so on.

It's just that even so. There are still some cold words about this Jazz team outside, and the most is naturally after Lin Han and Malone arrive in the playoffs. These two guys have become more selfish and so on, not considering the feelings of their teammates. In fact, the basis for these people to say these words is that several young players on the team have not been very good in the playoffs, and the most natural of these are David Wesley in the second half of the regular season and Russell, who has been very stable throughout the season.

The table of these two people after the playoffs is really not good, David Wesley's offensive efficiency has dropped a lot, Russell's defense has also dropped a lot, in fact, as long as a discerning person can see that David Wesley and Russell are both rookies, a rookie playing the playoffs for the first time can not everyone be like Lin Han, like Weber, like Hardaway is mature, Lin Han is an outlier, Hardaway and Webb have seen the world when they were in college, In addition to these players, even a talented talent like O'Neal is struggling to play the playoffs for the first time?

So David Wesley's offensive efficiency is declining, which is not a big deal, as for Russell's defensive efficiency declining, this is even more of a matter of no way, after all, whether it is the Trail Blazers or the Warriors, their style of play is very targeted, the Trail Blazers play three inside, Russell needs to defend big with small, the Warriors play big and four small, Russell has to defend with big and small or even the opponent's big boss, if Russell is an offensive player and has the advantage of misplacement, his table needs to be criticized if it is very poor, As a passive defender who is inherently passive and plays every game against a misplaced opponent, it's a hell of a game for a defender, and if you expect a rookie defender to do well, it's really a bit of a tough place.

But whether it's nonsense or not, when some people list a lot of 'high-end' numbers compared to David Wesley and Russell's playoff and regular season comparisons, and when they partner Lin Han and don't partner Lin Han, and then come to a conclusion that 'Lin Han is a teammate', even Lin Han himself was stunned not long ago.

You know, since entering the NBA. The number of times Lin Han has been hacked is countless, and Lin Han is already numb to the words that have been hacked. Even to the point of being pointed at his nose and scolded 'tumor', Lin Han would not have any reaction. But the term 'waste teammates', Lin Han really heard of it for the first time, and sometimes he really admired the imagination of those guys.

And the arguments of these guys really make Lin Han a little speechless, after all, these guys are very right, teammates will count jù worse when they partner with him, and it is better to count jù when teammates are not partnered with him, All-Star player Elliott can't even compare to an ordinary role player in counting jù when he is with him, after playing substitute and staggering Lin Han. He immediately showed his strength and efficiency.

It's just obvious that although this is true, it is also very far-fetched, deliberately leaning on Lin Han on these problems of the Jazz, and the same conclusion is actually okay with Malone and Stockton.

Therefore, at this time, Lin Han was so humble as soon as he came up, and it seemed that when he acquiesced to the benefits that his teammates gave him more than the benefits he gave his teammates, it really surprised these reporters, and even those reporters who provoked the public opinion of Lin Han's teammates were surprised in the face of Lin Han's response, after all, this is not the result they wanted, although this question is not about Lin Han's teammates. But Lin Han wants to use this question to respond to such a big controversy in the recent period, and they naturally want Lin Han to exhibit as they designed, for example, Lin Han angrily reprimanded them for talking nonsense at this time. Or it can be directly sarcastic, because only when Lin Han participates in this 'discussion' will the topic be hotter, more influential, and even cause some influence within the Jazz team.

With Lin Han's character, he is really very likely to directly reprimand and ridicule them, but such an understatement in the end is indeed extremely surprising, but in the same way, most of the reporters here have to say it after a little reminiscence of Lin Han's words at this time. Lin Han's answer is indeed the best choice, not only did he not fall into the pit. Even those guys who want to stir up this topic have no possibility of continuing, don't those guys want Lin Han and his teammates to have some problems. Now that Lin Han himself has directly admitted and thanked his teammates for their greater contribution to him, it no longer makes sense for them to stir up this topic.

"Although this kid hasn't appeared on this occasion for a long time, but some people want to trap him, I'm afraid it's still very difficult to succeed, Lin Han deliberately changed the way to respond to his teammates at the beginning of the bend to discard his teammates, and warn those guys not to make any problems that lower their IQ."

So after many reporters were a little stunned, many reporters who had a good relationship with Lin Han also secretly thought in their hearts.

At this time, many reporters on the field did understand the meaning of Lin Han's words at this time, but Karl Malone on the side really didn't understand, Lin Han knew that his contribution to his teammates was not enough, why didn't he do it? Isn't it a simple thing to make a few fewer shots and give him a few shots? You know, since he won the MVP, Malone has always wanted to swing it big, but every time it was very miserable, the first time he was pitted by the old Nelson, and the next few times he was robbed of the limelight by Lin Han.

But if Lin Han knows what Malone thinks at this time, the Jazz rookie will be speechless, Lin Han said this, he didn't believe it himself, Malone really believed it, and even if he really wanted to go out with a few shots, he shouldn't divide Ma Long, it should be given to other teammates, Ma Long has a lot of opportunities, and every time Lin Han wants to brush up on assists, isn't the first thing that comes to mind is Ma Long? Lin Han feels that his most worthy teammate in the team is Ma Long.

"Mr. Nils is one of the best head coaches in the league and I don't have any complaints about what he says about me because I'm not a Warriors player and he's not my head coach, I'm not playing for him."

Of course, in addition to the recent controversy about Lin Han's abolition of teammates, the biggest impact is that the old Nelson refused Lin Han to enter the Dream Second Team, and Lin Han was not surprised at all when he was asked this question. After all, after Nelson Sr. rejected Lin Han, there were many people who jumped out and said that Nelson Sr. made the right decision, such as Barkley of the Suns and Admirals of the Spurs. They see the same thing as Nelson Sr., for Team America. The quality of the players is important, but the style of play of the players is more important, everyone is a star, and there is no need for a player who holds the ball and does not let go.

"Will you regret not being able to make it to the Dream II team? Of course not, even if Mr. Nils chooses me to join them, I will think about whether I will have time, as you know, this year's World Championships start a little early, in early August. And the Jazz obviously won't end their schedule so early, and I think a lot of players turned down Mr. Nils last year, and I think Mr. Niles should go and invite some people again, they are indeed more suitable than me."

Therefore, when Lin Han was asked if he would regret missing the Dream Second Team, after Lin Han finished his answer, all the reporters at the scene laughed, and it was obvious that Lin Han was sarcastically mocking Admiral and Barkley who had now fished in advance.

"Lin, this year's playoff Jazz table is the best of any playoff team. You've won all seven games, are the Jazz confident of a championship now? Or does Lin have the confidence to beat the Rockets in the next round?"

Lin Han was in a very good mood at this time, and most of the reporters were also in a very good mood at this time. So this time, these guys didn't think about fighting wits with Lin Han to pit Lin Han after Lin Han gave him a dismount at the beginning, so most of the questions are very normal, and even Ma Long on the side was asked a few questions, which made Ma Long himself a little surprised, when he was with Lin Han before, he was basically a transparent person, as an NBA superstar player, it is actually very difficult to do this, especially since he is still the MVP of the regular season this year. Although he is not a very petty person, nor is he a player who always thinks about the spotlight on him. But at the pinnacle of his life, he still wanted to be the focus of everyone. Otherwise, he wouldn't have held an MVP speech before, but what makes Malone a little depressed is that he is indeed the most non-Zài regular season MVP in league history so far.

"Is there faith? Of course, we've been working hard for this season, and we've got the quality to beat any team in the league, so we're not afraid of any opponent."

After answering the last question with a confident face, Lin Han also left the scene of the post-game press conference with Ma Long with a smile, although this post-game press conference was very calm compared to Lin Han's before.

But the next day, when the Jazz swept the Warriors 4-O to be the first to reach the division finals, it still caused a huge sensation, after all, the situation team has swept the opponent in two consecutive rounds, and these two teams are not weak teams.

"The Jazz swept the Warriors to advance first, Lin Han said: The sword is aiming for the championship"

"The next round of rockets? Lin Han is confident that he can beat any team! ”

After all, although this year's playoffs are intense, but in the second round, in addition to the Pacers and Hawks are now playing intractable, the Knicks and Magic and the Rockets and Nuggets, these two matchups are almost no suspense, plus the popularity of the Pacers and the Hawks, although the Hawks have excellent results, but Atlanta is one of the worst places in the league, and the Hawks are one of the least popular teams in the league, no matter how fierce this group of duels is, it will not attract too many people's attention.

However, although most of the media praised the Jazz's performance at this time, Lin Han's response to Barkley and David Robinson at the post-game press conference still had a great impact, after all, these two superstars had just been eliminated, and they were all holding their stomachs.

"The overall winner? One of the Jazz's most realistic issues right now is how to beat the Rockets to get to the Finals, and I don't think they're going to beat the Rockets."

"The NBA is never as simple as some people think, and it's very rude for a player who is playing the playoffs for the first time to comment on a player who has made it to the Finals, because he simply doesn't have that kind of experience and qualifications."

Of course, at this time, Barkley and David Robinson were really very dissatisfied, and if they really wanted to find someone to leak, Lin Han sent them. But this can't be blamed on Lin Han, he really didn't think to sarcastically mock these two people before, but who let these two guys not fish well after being eliminated. Still babbling something on the side.

"Lin, I knew you guy as soon as he appeared. Definitely able to cause a lot of things and storms."

Of course, Lin Han doesn't care about the continuous bombardment of Barkley and David Robinson, but the Jazz teammates are really impressed by Lin Han's ability to jump into war at this time, this team's rookie can become the most popular player in the league now, it is definitely not just because of Jordan's departure, and it is definitely not just the 'deformation' of Jordan fans or his skin color, this guy is indeed a news maker, as long as there is no news where he appears, it is almost impossible.

"If I had Lin's ability, I would be able to become an NBA All-Star voter. can also get an endorsement contract with an annual salary of one million"

On the Jazz flight back to Utah from Golden State, Carl Malone also said to Lin Han with a smile on his face, and after Malone finished speaking, the other Jazz players all laughed.

When the Jazz players returned to Salt Lake City from Golden State, the time was already May 19th, and tonight there was just the fourth game between the Rockets and the Nuggets. After all, after this game, the Jazz will be able to determine that the Rockets are their next round opponent, although it is said that this game has not started. The result has been basically determined, but after all, the Nuggets team is indeed a bit weird this season, and the last round of the series O to 2 fell behind and finally won 3 games in a row to finally end the reversal, who knows if this team will continue to go crazy at this time.

"Brother, the big man of No. 55 is amazing, and the No. 22 is so miserable by him"

"yes, that big guy is really good"

On the evening of May 19, at Lin Han's home, Lin Han was accompanying his sister to watch the fourth game between the Rockets and the Nuggets. It was a tight game and it was exactly the same as the last game when the two teams met. It's even more intense than the last time they met. The two teams almost swung their defense to the extreme in this game, or Mutombo and Olajuwon waved their defense to the extreme in this game.

When the game reached the end of the fourth quarter, neither team scored more than 8o points, you know, the Rockets have two superstars like Olajuwon and Drexler, generally speaking, even if the offensive efficiency of the superstar players is low, the number of points will not be low as long as they want, but in this game, both teams are extremely difficult to score because of the opponent's almost insurmountable center to guide the team's offensive scoring!

And when the game ended, when the Nuggets defeated the Rockets by Lafonso Ellis's mid-range shooting in the crazy cheers of their home fans, Lin Han was also stunned, he really didn't expect that the Nuggets players still had such resilience in this game, they were already O to 3, these guys have never given up, if the Warriors have such resilience, even if the Jazz can win the last game, it will not be so easy.

"It seems that Mutombo is not the only one who has changed them in the desperate situation of O-2 in the first round of this year, but the rest of the Nuggets players are also the same, but after this series, Mutombo may not worry about whether he can make it to the All-Star in the future"

When the game was over, Lin Han looked at the Nuggets No. 55 center who was being interviewed on the TV screen and said with some emotion that some players can make him not have to worry about his future for the rest of his life, and Mutombo's playoff journey this year is like this.

In this game, the Nuggets beat the Rockets 81-8O, and Mutombo's number in this game is 6 points, 11 and 9 blocks, the number is extremely strange, and Olajuwon on the other side is 2o points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 steals and 6 blocks, Olajuwon became the second player in NBA history to play 5x5 in the playoffs, and his dominance on the defensive end of this game is no worse than that of Mutombo, although there are fewer blocks, but because the Rockets are a single inside, he needs to do more, Even because of this game Mutombo's deposit zài. Other Nuggets players can completely ignore their interior defense, and press the Rockets' outside shooters with all their strength in the half, when the Rockets' shooting percentage is extremely low. He also needs to organize his teammates to score.

It's just clear that if the rest of the Rockets team is shooting just over 3o%. When they shoot 1-of-15 from three-point range, it's hard for them to win.

The Nuggets fought for a victory in the fourth game with the Rockets, which not only surprised Lin Han, but also other Jazz players, everyone thought that this game was over, after all, the Nuggets really don't need to continue to dream like the last round, after all, Olajuwon and Drexler are not Payton and Kemp, these two are at a higher level. Especially the level of offense.

No matter how high the morale of the Nuggets is now, even if Mutombo is against the sky, it is difficult to really reverse the Rockets like Reversal Tone.

It's just that the Jazz have a little slap in the face, and even the entire NBA is that after the Nuggets won at home in the fourth game, they also won again in the fifth away game to Houston!

And it was another classic game, with the Nuggets and Rockets playing two overtimes after tying the first four quarters at 87, and the second overtime was more experienced in a game of extreme intensity. The older Rockets were forced to collapse by the Nuggets, and in the second overtime, the Rockets allowed the Nuggets to score 15 points, while they scored just 7 points. With a full-time double overtime, the Rockets lost to the Nuggets 97-1o5!

When the Nuggets spent most of the game playing Knicks-like half-court pressure on the outside of the Rockets almost normally, and finally forced the Rockets to collapse at the end and stubbornly dressed the score as 2-3, not to mention that the Jazz, who had been waiting for the Rockets for a long time, were speechless.

Even the entire NBA fans and media were speechless, they really haven't seen such a team, you know, the Rockets' table in this game is good enough, Olajuwon scored 352 points and 26 rebounds in this game, although there are not many steals and blocks. But he almost made a double-triple in the playoffs, and even Drexler scored 22 points on 8-of-26 shooting, although his offensive efficiency was still not high. With the 35% shooting rate of the two teams in this game, such a score and efficiency are actually not low. It's just that when the Nuggets, a group of first- and second-year rookie players, forced the Rockets, a group of veterans in their thirties, to play 5o minutes of high-intensity games, Olajuwon and Drexler were a little speechless at the end, one of these two played 5o minutes in this game, and the other played 49 minutes.

"This kid is simply omnipotent, 12 points, 11 rebounds and 11 blocks, this guy actually played such a triple-double in the face of Olajuwon, and gave Drexler 5 blocks in 11 blocks, if this kid had such a state when he beat us before, I'm afraid we would have to kneel."

When the Nuggets and the Rockets had the next day after the fifth game, when Lin Han returned to the Jazz team to practice, almost the whole team was talking about the game between the Nuggets and the Rockets.

With the Rockets' offensive ability, they couldn't score 9o points in two consecutive games in regulation time, which is already a miracle.

And when the Nuggets returned to their home court in Game 6 to beat the Rockets 89-86 and win three games in a row, NBA fans and Jazz players were already a little crazy at this time, and they really didn't think that this series that would have had no suspense would actually play like this.

"What the hell are the Nuggets going to do? Are they ready to win four games in a row after falling behind O 2 and winning three games in a row with the Rockets down 3 to O? ”

"The Rockets aren't really going to be reversed by the Nuggets, are they? Do you want to do this?"

When the Rockets and the Nuggets played 3-3, at this time, the whole world has already focused on the seventh game between the Nuggets and the Rockets, and even ignored the fact that the Knicks eliminated the Magic 4-1 and the Pacers eliminated the Hawks 4-2.

After all, for the first round of the best-of-five games, it is not the first time in NBA history that O is behind 2 and reversed. There have been two times this season, when the second round of seven wins and four wins were behind O 3 to complete the reversal, so this is really the first time. And judging from the momentum of the Nuggets, these young people are really crazy. For the NBA, it is still very scary for young people to go crazy, and the team composed of the Rockets, a group of old ruffians, may be played to death by these young people if they don't play to death, which is really not a joke.

Even on May 25, the day of the Nuggets and Rockets game, all the Jazz players stayed on the team's training ground to watch the game, and the Jazz focused all their preparations on the Rockets after beating the Warriors, if the Nuggets really came out. The pre-game preparation for the Jazz was indeed a slap in the face.

And after the game between the Nuggets and the Rockets, all the players of the Jazz team sighed a little that the Nuggets, who had gone crazy, did still perform extremely well in the last game, and their crazy half-court pressing at the expense of the Rockets did still have an effect, but for a team like the Rockets, the same tactics succeeded three times in a row, which is already very good.

"In this game, Olajuwon strengthened his interior attack, Mutombo had some problems in the selection of individual defense and co-defense, Drexler and Olajuwon's internal and external connection became closer in this game, and it was still too difficult for Mutombo to defend two people alone"

When the game was over, Stockton also said with some sighs. The Nuggets' table in this game is actually good, and the other players of the Rockets still don't have a very high shooting percentage, and it's really difficult to have a too high shooting percentage under such defense. The Nuggets' desperate gamble did almost succeed, but after Olajuwon strengthened his interior offense in this game and contained part of Mutombo's defense, Drexler, who was risked 22 times in the first six games, finally found a tacit understanding with Olajuwon in this game.

The former Trail Blazers man has finally found the timing of Olajuwon's cut in the singles, which is important, and the reason why his cuts and breakthroughs have been so much by Mutombo before is not because he can't break the Nuggets' pressing, with his ability. How could the rest of the Rockets players compare to him, his individual ability to break through the press is too easy. The key is how he dodged Mutombo's interior defense after breaking the press. In the past, there were indeed some problems with the tacit understanding between him and Olajuwon, and the two had problems with each other's containment, but after the Rockets were cornered in this game, the two really had a chemical change.

The final score of this game was 89-8o, the Rockets won by 9 points at home, Olajuwon scored 4o points, 19 rebounds and 7 assists on 16-of-33 shooting in this game, while Drexler scored 28 points on 11-of-19 shooting in this game, the two superstars of the Rockets really played the number of superstars in this game, the two of them shot 27-of-52 and scored 68 points, accounting for 75% of the Rockets' total scores, and the other Rockets players shot 8-of-26, so to speak, In this game, the Nuggets lost to the opponent's superstar, and in the face of Olajuwon and Drexler, who can wield chemistry, Mutombo really tried his best.

And the other Nuggets players are like that, and even the Nuggets players in this game are all slumped on the floor of the Compaq Center when the whistle blows at the end of the game, but I have to say that the Nuggets team that has done the ultimate is indeed a little worse than the Rockets, and this fire is that the Rockets have two superstars, and the Nuggets have only one, although Mutombo is not a superstar, but his table in this series can be regarded as a superstar.

"If the Rockets hadn't traded Drexler this season, would you say they would have been able to get past the Nuggets?"

When the game ended, looking at the No. 55 player of the Nuggets sitting on the floor with a depressed face and red eyes on the TV, Lin Han also sighed and said.

He really didn't think that Mutombo would be like this in the playoffs, and if it weren't for the Rockets trading Drexler, the team's lack of offensive players on the perimeter would have caused them to really lose their Nuggets.

Mutombo's table in this series is already a defensive strengthened version of Ewing, the Knicks dare to play half-court pressing, except for their outside players are really good defense, the biggest reason is because they believe that Ewing can handle the team's interior one, and the Nuggets' outside players can not compete with the Knicks in defense, but they also played, and almost played the Rockets to death.

"It's hard to say, even if the Knicks' style of play restrained the Rockets, but the Knicks didn't lose to the Rockets twice in a row this season"

After Lin Han finished speaking, Stockton also said thoughtfully, but Stockton also knew that the two games that the Knicks lost to the Rockets were because Ewing had some problems with Olajuwon, and once again it was caused by Lin Han, if Ewing was in the best condition, just like Mutombo in this round, it would be difficult to say that the two sides would play each other.

"However, this kid is really a character"

After Stockton finished speaking, Malone also said with an appreciative look on his face, being able to force the Rockets he was more afraid of to be like this, the center of the Nuggets team is indeed a character.

"Lin, you may be robbed of the limelight by this guy this year."

However, although the Jazz players felt a little sorry for the Nuggets, but after all, the Nuggets were Nuggets, although it was a pity, but there was not much sadness for them, so soon, these Jazz players began to laugh at Lin Han.

If Malone didn't have a sense of saving his regular season MVP because of Lin Han, then now the crazy performance of the Nuggets and Mutombo this season has made Lin Han's previous sense of existence a little gone.

For more than a week, the whole of America has been talking about Mutombo and the Nuggets.

However, in the face of such a situation of public opinion, Lin Han didn't care at all, because no matter how crazy Mutombo was, he still lost to the Rockets, lost to Olajuwon and Drexler.

And what he wants is victory!

Even if the rocket becomes more powerful at this time! (To be continued)
