(Sorry, this chapter is a little late)

"Kevin, judging from this game, should the Jazz trade be considered a success or a failure this time?"

On the evening of February 7, 1994, in the commentary booth of McNichols Arena, the home of the Denver Nuggets, as the two on-site commentators of the ABC of this game, former Bulls head coach Collins and former Celtics legendary interior Kevin McHale, were watching the game intently at this time.

Although judging from the content of this game, the Nuggets, who have lost to the Jazz twice this season, are actually not the opponents of the Jazz on their home court, and the two sides are not at the same level in terms of strength at present, but although they don't care much about the content of this game, the tables of some players in this game are definitely worth paying attention to.

After all, the Jazz is one of the biggest favorites for this year's championship, and now the Rockets are still letting Drexler recuperate from his injuries, and everyone can't see what the power of the new Rockets is like now, but the Jazz are different, these new players don't have an injured player like Drexler, so now it's not just fans who are looking forward to the Jazz newcomers' table in this game. For example, some NBA experts or NBA practitioners like them are very concerned about whether these new players can improve the level of the Jazz or let the level of the Jazz go down.

"It's hard to say now, because Elliott and David Wesley's game is very average, Elliott is not in good shape with the Pistons all season, he needs to adjust his condition, and David Wesley still needs to adapt to the rhythm of the NBA game, he played too few games with the Nets before"

"One thing is for sure, though, whether it's Polinice or PJ Brown, both of these players have had a good game against each other. Especially Polinis, his support on the inside helped Lin Han and Malone a lot, and Mutombo was very uncomfortable with him in this game. There's no way to focus all your energy on helping defense, I think. While the Jazz don't have the firepower they want off the bench right now, they have the strength of an interior player."

As the current advisor to the Timberwolves and the legendary inside of Abnetba, some of the things that the Jazz and Nuggets have on the court can be seen in this game.

Especially in this game, Mutombo, who said before the game that he would go head-to-head with Lin Han, was completely blocked by Polinis, and he didn't even get rid of Polinis, how could he go head-to-head with Lin Han?

Therefore, in this game, Mutombo simply did not have the extra energy to help his teammates deal with the problems of Malone and Lin Han, in this situation. In this game, Lin Han and Malone were almost giving in and out of the offense, while the Nuggets could only watch with some helplessness as the Jazz were reckless in their place.

"Well, the Jazz's current interior strength has indeed increased a lot, but if Elliott can't wield more than eighty percent of the firepower of Jeff Malone, I'm afraid the Jazz will still have some difficulties this season."

At this time, after McHale finished speaking, Collins also nodded and agreed, the current Jazz are no longer a weak team on the inside because of the arrival of PJ Brown and Pollinis, two players who seem to be able to be used, and now the key point is when Elliott will find his form and when he will be able to integrate with the team.

For any NBA team. Defensive players are more quickly integrated, after all, they need to be involved in fewer tactics, but offensive players are difficult to say. As for David Wesley, whether it is McHale or Collins, they all ignored it directly, this guard rumor was named by the Jazz because of Lin Han's special hobby, and he has a little strength, but his height is simply impossible to succeed in the NBA, the point guard is short, it doesn't matter, most point guards in the league are not so strong in offense, and they don't need too much individual offense. So it's acceptable to be a little shorter, but if the shooting guard is only 1.8 meters. Then it's really over, and now there are a bunch of scoring maniacs in the league. And now the responsibility of the scoring guard in the league is not to pass the ball and defend, and even if it is defense, his height of 1.8 meters can't defend anyone, so in the history of the NBA, a 1.8 meter point guard may be more rare than a 1.7 point guard.

"Damn, damn it, this old guy is so hateful!"

At this time, when the game between the Nuggets and the Jazz was basically no suspense, McHale and Collins on the sidelines were paying attention to the new players of the Jazz team, and at this time Mutombo on the court was extremely angry, but he said that he would go head-to-head with Lin Han in this game to prove to everyone in the world that he could also enter the All-Star, but this game finally played to this point, and he didn't even touch Lin Han a few times, In normal games, the Nuggets player, who was very angry before the game, was very uncomfortable by the Jazz newcomer Polinis, and used all the hand-to-hand combat on the defensive end.

"Deacon Bey, calm down, you're alright, calm down now"

At this time, Mutombo's love on the court is very impatient, and of course the other young players of the Nuggets also know, but at this time they have no choice, this team is all together are some second- and third-year or first- and second-year rookies, it can be said that playing on the court is completely based on a hard work, and now this kind of hard work can't be fought in a very experienced team like Jazz, and the position that was considered the most dominant before the game can't be played now, it's not just that Mutombo is very impatient.

Iser on the sidelines, the head coach of the Nuggets is actually very impatient, of course he thought that the chance of losing this game is greater than the chance of winning, but he was beaten by the Jazz in the third quarter of the home game, this kind of thing, he still doesn't want to be born, after all, it is too embarrassing, and at this time, the game situation on the court is more and more like this aspect of the exhibition, at least look at the third quarter is more than halfway, and the difference between the two sides on the court has been going to 2o points, and there is no chance to shrink.

Especially looking at the Nuggets players on the court who have lost their fighting spirit and become more and more uneasy, Iseer really has no choice. This is the helplessness of a young team, they can beat anyone if they play well, they don't play well. Nothing works.

"Is there really such a big gap between us and the top teams?"

Although the Nuggets' goal this season is only to make the playoffs, as long as they make the playoffs. But how could Iser not have other ideas for the head coach of a team?

At the very least, he hopes to enter the playoffs with the expectation of a little bit of a better result, and if they do enter the playoffs as the eighth in the West, then this team's opponent is likely to be the Jazz, and if the gap with the Jazz is really like this game, then what awaits them will be a clear sweep.

Thinking of this, Isel also looked helplessly at Jerry Sloan, who was still standing calmly on the sidelines not far away. At this time, Jerry Sloan's expression was much better than Issel's.

Although Elliott and David Wesley didn't show what he wanted, the two inside linemen, Polinice and PJ Brown, showed the level he wanted.

Polynis is experienced and plays fiercely, especially when it comes to rebounding, he is indeed like a monster, and some small actions on the court simply make Mutombo collapse, while PJ Brown, although they have the same rebounding ability and experience as Polynys, but the young interior is more energetic, better in defense, and more solid and excellent in defense. Although it is not a monster with rebounds like Polinis, it is more composed than Polinis, and it is true that a young player is more composed than an older player. Obviously, the different styles of these two can give the Jazz more tactical options when facing different opponents.

"It's really perfect, and now it's really perfect on the inside of our team"

So after seeing Polinis on the court once again use his test card to dominate Mutombo, even the Jazz assistant head coach on the side, Phil Johnson, was a little excited, and the hole in the team's interior line has finally been filled since Mark Eaton left, which is definitely an extremely exciting thing.

Of course, for the outcome of this game, the Nuggets fans on the sidelines have given up paying attention to it at this time, and even some Nuggets fans on the scene have seen Lin Han defeat his team's players again and again to stage various difficult scores. Some of these Nuggets players will even cheer for Lin Han, in this case. Although the time of this game is not over, there is basically no suspense anymore.

And when the third quarter is over. When the Jazz players came off the court with a score of 86-67, the Jazz players at this time were as relaxed as when they first came on the court in the first quarter, and at this time the Nuggets players were frustrated, especially the leading players of this team.

"Hahaha, Lin, this game is really cool, I've lost a season in the Pistons, I haven't won so happily for a long time, and sure enough, winning the game can make people happy."

When Lin Han and the Jazz players left the court after the end of the third quarter, Polinis, who had been very good in his first Jazz career game, was excited at this time.

It can be seen that this guy has indeed played miserably in the season of the Pistons, and he is numb to losing the game, and Elliott on the side also nodded with a smile.

The reason why the second leader of the Spurs team, who was extremely good in the Spurs, is so poor in the Pistons table this season, and the low state is pointed, I am afraid that it has a lot to do with the Pistons' results this season.

After all, the glory of the Pistons is a fart for Pollinis and Elliott, that is, Bridge Dumas or Lamber Thomas and others will care about the glory of this team, so the Bridge Dumas of the Pistons is the most desperate in every game.

And now after coming to the Jazz, when they gradually find the feeling of winning, they will naturally get better and better, and their fighting spirit will get higher and higher, so although Elliott's performance in this game is not good, neither the Jazz players nor the Jazz head coach care. This needs to be done slowly, and there is no rush at all.

"Boss, look at the stupid big guy over there. I'm afraid to see people now."

When the Jazz's bench players took to the court after the start of the fourth quarter, Lin Han and his main players were already resting on the sidelines. It is very likely that they will not play again in the fourth quarter of this game, and Russell, who was sitting next to Lin Han, looked at the Nuggets, and then smiled at Lin Han, and then Lin Han looked in the direction that Russell pointed.

It's just that looking at Mutomb, Bolingham didn't laugh at the Nuggets center like Russell. Although he failed to challenge Lin Han in this game, and even Lin Han's beaters were not defeated, I have to say that the courage of this young center forward is indeed worthy of recognition, and there is nothing to laugh at, maybe after this game, it is not impossible for this young center to go further after growing up, and there are infinite possibilities when he is young.

When he left the game in the third quarter, Lin Han felt that he might not play again in this game. And in fact, when the main players of both sides went off the court in the third quarter, the substitutes of both sides played evenly on the court. Although the bench brought by Elliott on the Jazz side is not strong, the Nuggets are not much stronger, the Nuggets are powerless to chase points, and the Jazz are also powerless to pull points, and the final result is that after the fourth quarter is halfway through, the difference between the two sides has always remained at about 2o points, and in the end, at the end of the game, the Nuggets lost to the Jazz 96-117 at home.

And after beating the Nuggets on the road. The Jazz have also won two in a row, and their current record is 42-5. Still far behind the second place in the league, Yin's current record is 36 wins and 1o losses. The gap between the two sides is still obvious.

"Deacon Bey, it's a pleasure to play you in this game, I'm looking forward to a better swing in the next game, good luck"

After the end of this game, Lin Han, who scored 29 points, 6 rebounds and 3 blocks in the game on 13-of-21 shooting in the last three quarters, surprised many Nuggets fans on the scene after accepting a TV interview, and even surprised many Nuggets players that Lin Han, a player who was challenged by Mutombo before the game, actually took the initiative to greet the Nuggets player and even hugged Mutombo after the game.

You know, as a superstar in the league, Lin Han's level is much higher than Mutombo, if other superstars in the league are challenged before the game, such as Jordan, who was challenged by a player worse than himself before the game, after Jordan abused his opponent in the game, he would definitely not be like Lin Han, even if it wasn't Jordan, other league superstars might not take the initiative to show favor like Lin Han, and most of the superstars were still waiting for the other party's submission.

Therefore, when Lin Han hugged the big man in Mutombo's surprise, the Nuggets player, who didn't wake up until Lin Han left, looked at Lin Han's back, his expression was a little regretful, and his face was also a little excited.

"Next time, the next time we fight, I must be stronger, you wait, next time, I will definitely not let you down"

Of course, in the face of Mutombo's vow, Lin Han, who had already walked into the player's tunnel with his teammates, naturally would not be clear.

"Boss, do you need to show favor to that big guy, this kid has challenged you before"

Since Lin Han entered the NBA, maybe because of Lin Han's character, maybe because Lin Han's opponents really don't have a few who like Lin Han, or because Lin Han doesn't like and appreciate many opponents, so he rarely takes the initiative to say hello to players from other teams after the game.

Just in the face of the Jazz players' questions, Lin Han just smiled and didn't say anything more.

After the Jazz defeated the Nuggets in this game, the only game left before the All-Star break was the game against the Lakers on February 9.

For this game with the Lakers, although as far as the team is concerned, there is nothing special, and now the Lakers are fourth from the bottom in the West, and the Lakers who are in complete darkness cannot be the opponent of the Jazz, as long as the Jazz do not play too badly in this game. It was difficult for the Lakers to beat the Jazz, but for Linham, the game was very meaningful.

Because of this game. Linham's opponents will be his former teammates from the Chicago Talent Camp, Van Axel and Antonio Xavi, since they left the Chicago Talent Camp. Except for Hardaway, the boss of the team at the time, the remaining four people, whether they were Linhan or Van Axel or Harvey and Aaron Williams, did not think that they would have the opportunity to meet in one game in the NBA.

At the very least, their team, which was known as the worst and most rubbish team in training camp at the time, had basically no chance for anyone other than Hardaway to make it to the NBA.

And now it is unbelievable that most of the talents in the Chicago talent training camp at that time have now been lost in the NBA, while Lin Han and the four of them have now gained a firm foothold in the NBA, and even Lin Han has become a superstar. And Van Axel has also become the Lakers' most potential new star now, as for Aaron Williams, he is now also an important rotation player for the league's No. 1 team, and Antonio Harvey seems to be very important in the Lakers.

In the first game of the Lakers this season, the game of harmony, the rookie even played, and scored 16 points, 4 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block in the first game of his career.

Although everyone hasn't been in a meeting since they left Chicago, Lynham has been in frequent contact with Van Axel and Xavi in addition to having no contact with Hardaway, and according to Harvey and Van Axel, the team's general manager, Jerry West, takes good care of them. Especially Xavi, Van Axel is okay, the strength is already strong. Even if there is no Jerry West to take care of him, he can get ahead, and Xavi, the inside line is far worse than Van Axel in terms of strength, maybe he can be a substitute at the end of the bench in this belly Lakers, but it is absolutely impossible to play more than 2o games after more than 4o games, and the average playing time this season can reach more than 26 minutes, which is simply a round show treatment, and even most of the rounds do not have such treatment.

So. When Lynham and Aaron Williams got off the plane, they arrived at Van Axel's home. The four of them were also a little embarrassed when they talked about their experiences.

"Lin, I don't know why. I always feel like Jerry West, the general manager of our team, is very interested in you, and when we are on the team, he always likes to ask us if we have any special hobbies when you were in Chicago, and he always likes to ask about you, so you have to be careful when you meet him in the future."

"Well, that's right, be careful, be careful"

At this time, looking at these two drunk Lakers players at Van Excel's home, Lin Han was also speechless for a while, he has not yet reached the legal drinking age, and the Jazz team also has a very strict life control, and he must not have a hangover the day before the game.

So at this time, looking at these two incoherent good friends, Lin Han also sighed, and then began to tease Van Axel's son.

"Nicky, come to Uncle"

Van Excel's three-year-old son is not an obedient guy, so after coming to Van Excel's house this year, he almost immediately fell in love with him, and this kid definitely has a great future in the future.

However, although Lin Han fell in love with him, this kid didn't look down on Lin Han, after Lin Han beckoned to this kid, this guy ran faster than a rabbit.

Of course, Lin Han naturally knows about Van Exaulle and Xavi's reminders, because the godfather of the Lakers seems to be really interested in himself, and even after getting off the plane today, after following the team to the hotel where he stayed, the Godfather of the Lakers even waited for the arrival of the Jazz team in the hotel where the Jazz stayed.

Of course, this is not for the sake of politeness, because Jerry West did not have any interest in other Jazz players, and rushed directly to Lin Han to invite Lin Han to his home, which made Malone and Stockton and Jerry Sloan on the side quite nervous, but fortunately, Lin Han used Van Axel to push away Jerry West's invitation.

"It's really troublesome."

When he thought of this, Lin Han took the drink in his hand and poured it down.

On February 9, 1994, the Lakers hosted the Great Western Forum Arena, the Lakers hosted the Jazz, and the game faced the Jazz who won two in a row, and the Lakers' head coach Randy Fender sent point guard Van Axel. Scoring guard Tony Smith, small forward George Lynch, power forward Antonio Harvey. The lineup of the center forward Divac.

On the Jazz side, it's center PJ Brown. The lineup of power forward Malone, small forward Elliott and scoring guard Lynch, and point guard Stockton.

It can be seen that both teams have changed formations in this game, the Lakers' side Harvey entered the lineup again, and Tony Smith, a 1.91-meter guard, also pushed George Lynch to the small forward position, which made Lin Han a little disappointed in this game.

As one of the most hated players in Chicago's talent training camp, Lin Han was ready to teach this guy a lesson in this game, but obviously. The Lakers didn't want to anger Lin Han at all, and directly pushed this player who has a good appearance in recent times to the position of small forward and staggered Lin Han.

Of course, for the Jazz, the biggest significance of this game is to adjust the lineup, so in this game, PJ Brown and Elliott came on the court while Polynes and Russell were substitutes.

Jerry Sloan also wanted to see how this lineup would work.

"Jerry, is that kid the player you think can revitalize the Lakers?"

When the game between the Jazz and the Lakers began, in the stands of the Great Western Forum Arena, Old Buss looked at the Jazz No. 8, who almost ignored Lakers guard Tony Smith, and asked with some surprise.

For the Jazz rookie who has been stirring up trouble in the NBA this season. Old Buss naturally knows that Jordan's successor, the league's player who can replace Jordan in the future. This guy has many, many titles, but it's still hard for him to imagine that such a young player can be rated as highly as Jerry West.

You know, Jerry West usually rarely uses so many unbelievable words to describe a player, and Lin Han is definitely the first, even the previous Magic has not been so evaluated by the Lakers general manager.

Therefore, although Old Bass knows that Lin Han is very popular now, he also has some doubts about whether he is really as good as Jerry West said.

"He's a player who deserves any price we can get, and he's going to make us rise again and get us at the top of the NBA again. His future is either Jordan's successor or Jordan! ”

looked at Lin Han on the field at this time. Jerry West's face even had a very abnormal flush, obviously excited. If Lin Han was allowed to see Jerry West's idiotic [Han] expression at this time, Lin Han would probably be really startled.

"A player to get at any price?"

After Jerry West finished speaking, Old Bass also nodded a little noncommittally.

In this game between the Jazz and the Lakers, although the Jazz is adjusting the team's lineup, it can be said that the Jazz in this game is a little chaotic in terms of playing style, except for Lin Han's single tactics are still separated from the team and have not been affected, the other Jazz players are not in a good offensive state because of the change of formation, so the Jazz is not the strongest in this game

It's just that, even so, the Lakers who are fighting at home are still at a disadvantage, and this game even evolved into a battle between Van Axel and Lin Han.

Although Van Axel is not at the same level as Lin Han in terms of scoring ability and scoring stability, but if this guy feels good and his three-point shot is accurate, he can kill almost any team in the league, Lin Han's Arenas three-point jumper is very unreasonable, and Van Axel's three-point shot is also unreasonable.

So Lin Han, who had some regrets that he couldn't fight George Lynch, was all gone after falling out with Van Axel.

Of course, with the current strength of Van Axel, he wants to fight Lin Han, basically he can't last long, whether it is stable or mature, Van Axel has not yet reached his peak.

So in the first half, after Lin Han scored 28 points in the first half and Van Axel scored 22 points in the half, in the second half, the Lakers' leading point guard gradually couldn't keep up with Lin Han's rhythm.

Therefore, after the second half, even in the face of the Jazz, who is not the best, the Lakers slowly began to be widened.

"This kid is really good, especially in terms of scoring, but no matter how you look at this kid, it's a little too poisonous, I haven't seen him take the initiative to pass the ball once in this game."

After seeing his team slowly falling behind, Old Bass also felt a little funny and said that although Lin Han's performance in this game was very good, it did not completely impress Old Bass, at least he did not look down on Lin Han's type of player very much after experiencing the Magic era.

Putting the future of the Lakers in the hands of such a player, he really isn't so relieved.

"No, he's not just that, he's only been playing basketball for less than two years, so there's plenty of room for him to improve."

Although Old Bass doesn't seem to be so optimistic about Lin Han, Jerry West is still holding on to his opinion.

At this time, the game between the Lakers and the Jazz on the court has slowly entered the closing stage, and the Lakers have basically been unable to catch up with the Jazz.

And when the game ended, the score on the sidelines was 1o1-115, and the Lakers lost to the Jazz by 14 points at home, while Van Axel scored 36 points in this game, and Lin Han scored 48 points on 19-of-31 shooting.

After leaving the Chicago Talent Training Camp, Van Axel once again lost to Lin Han, but when he was in Chicago, the two were teammates competing with each other, and at this time it was between rivals, and the difference was that Lin Han was still the winner.

"Lin, you are really stronger than before, and now I wonder if you deliberately disguised yourself so badly when you were in Chicago."

After the game, Van Axel, who was depressed, said to Lin Han helplessly, and at this time Lin Han shook his head with a smile.

"Even when I was in Chicago, I wasn't that bad, you weren't my match then."

After finishing speaking, Lin Han and Van Axel both laughed, and at this time, George Lynch, a young Laker player on the side, looked at Lin Han and Van Axel who were hooking shoulders with each other, and there was a trace of ruthlessness and resentment in their eyes.

"Hmph, let's just let you be arrogant for a few days now, and wait until the day after tomorrow when you have a bitter time when the All-Star Rookie Game comes"

The high-ranking lottery rookie, who was almost completely suppressed by Van Excel in the Lakers this season, did not say hello to any Jazz players after cursing Lin Han and Van Excel fiercely, and left the court and walked into the players' tunnel.

At this time, Lin Han didn't notice this former opponent.

After all, the two are no longer people of the same world at all. (To be continued)
