Stockton and Malone reminded Lin Han to be careful in the recent period, and the caution here is definitely not just about Lin Han paying attention to his private life in the recent period, although Stockton and Malone both know that Lin Han's private life is very, very chaotic, and know that the rookie of this team is very obsessed with nightlife.
But in the same way, these two Jazz veterans also know that Lin Han is a very cautious person, and he has never been out of the bag in such a frequent nightlife, with Lin Han's popularity and attention, this is simply a miracle, so there have always been people in the Jazz team who want to worship Lin Han as a teacher and learn how to avoid these paparazzi, and this group of players even includes veterans like Ma Long.
Therefore, it can also be seen from here that Lin Han's ability to keep secrets in the nightlife area, so these two Jazz masters are really at ease with Lin Han, this kid has always been clean, so these two Jazz masters reminded Lin Han to be careful not about Lin Han outside the court, but on the court.
When Lin Han swept away Olajuwon, Drexler and Admirals in the All-Star Game, and then hinted to the media that their group of bigwigs ignored the rules of the NBA and the professionalism of their players to pressure the head coach not to play, the relationship between Lin Han and this group of people is not just as simple as enemies, enemies, can be said to be enemies.
Just like the feud between Jordan and Thomas back then, in the late stages of the Bulls and Pistons battle, as the Pistons players aged, their strength declined. The competition between the two teams was not so fierce later, and in that case Jordan and the Pistons many players reconciled, and Jordan even said that the Pistons were the head coach. Chuck Daley, the legendary coach who created Jordan's Law, is still his most respected NBA coach, and it can be said that Jordan as the final victor, as the strongest man in the league, showed his demeanor, but only Isaiah Thomas. The playmaker and Jordan were not at all in place, but Jordan never chose to reconcile with him.
Even when the dream team was selected, Jordan said that he didn't have me. With me without him, you know, with Thomas's status in the NBA, how can the position of the Dream Team not be with him. Stockton never even dreamed that he would be able to replace Thomas. When Jordan uses his identity and influence to say this, it is very cheap, very impolite and even ungraceful, after all, it is not Jordan who the team chooses, but the head coach and the management committee of the American team.
It's just that even at the risk of being ridiculed and dissatisfied by all the media, the basketball god vowed to cut off Thomas's Olympic dream, Jordan's ruthlessness and hatred for Thomas in his heart can be seen, and at that time, it was when Jordan was caught in the national public opinion storm because of gambling problems, which even made him even more pressured at the beginning. But Jordan resisted the pressure and killed Thomas, the man he hated the most in his career.
Jordan and Thomas have a grudge because of the All-Star, while bigwigs such as Lin Han and Olajuwon have a grudge because of the All-Star. Such grievances are difficult to resolve, especially the grievances between Lin Han and Olajuwon and Drexler are difficult to resolve, and it can even be said that it is impossible to resolve, in this case, when everyone was not a mortal enemy before, although these people did not like Lin Han very much, but there are still professional ethics that need to be observed in the game, but when the two sides are really mortal enemies can no longer die, these old guys have no scruples about many things on the court.
Don't look at David Stern now cleaning up the court, hoping that the NBA's court environment will become more and more civilized, but now most of the superstar players are people who have come from such chaos and dark ages, although the league is more binding on them, but this does not mean that they can't do things beyond the scope of basketball on the court.
After all, isn't there a New York gangster in New York now, naturally there are gangsters, so it can't be said that gangsters can only appear in New York, maybe I don't know when, the Houston Rockets will also become gangsters in a certain game, for example, the Phoenix Suns can also become gangsters in a certain game, which is not necessarily.
Therefore, after this year's All-Star is over, Lin Han needs to worry about the next games, he will encounter a lot of very unconventional opponents on the court, and these opponents will not just play basketball with Lin Han on the court.
"I don't think the league is right, at least in my opinion it's a very biased decision, I know very well who Hakim is, he's a very great player, he's a beast who wants to win when he's on the pitch, and when people accuse him of giving up the game, they shouldn't just take it for granted."
'yes, you can't just listen to what a young player says, it's unfair to Hakim, maybe he was really over-drained in that game, it's possible'
"As for whether Drexler and David Robinson and others didn't work hard in the first half of the fourth quarter, I don't think any player would dare to guarantee that he will be in absolute shape when he shows up on the court, maybe David and Drexler happened to be in bad shape at that time, and, man, this is an All-Star Game, everybody is very strong, and that can't be attributed to the players for all the games that are behind."
The NBA All-Star is indeed over, but after the NBA All-Star is over, the impact of staying is still continuing, for example, after this game, Lin Han's shoes have almost always been a hot topic of discussion among many fans around the world, such as the Suns' leading player, Barkley, who missed the All-Star game this year because of some injuries, gave Olajuwon, Drexler and others a huge fine in the league, and the Suns' leading player was not happy.
In fact, the league's punishment of these Western bigwigs has indeed caused a lot of controversy, which is not to say that fans or the media do not support the league's blowing penalty, after all, as long as they are not stupid, fans who watched that game know what the truth of this matter is, and Barkley can defend it no matter how much he defends. No matter how you explain it, it doesn't work, the point is. The NBA's penalty was issued without a complete investigation and evidence collection, which is very strong in the United States, David Stern's approach is somewhat dictatorial, I heard that after this penalty came out, many team general managers have asked Stern to theorize that all of them were blocked by him, the league president who has been operating in the NBA for 1O years and has increased the commercial value of the NBA by more than 1O times after gaining enough prestige. Finally showed his dictatorial and arbitrary side like everyone.
Of course, in addition to David Stern and many people in the league who have questions about the punishment of these players, there are also some who think. Olajuwon's refusal to play, these are their personal matters, the NBA All-Star Game is not the same as the regular season game or the playoffs, and the league does not pay these bigwigs. Their participation in the All-Star Contest would have been voluntary. Although the All-Star Game is also an NBA game, these bigwigs refuse to play for personal reasons This behavior is indeed a lack of work ethic, but the lack of work ethic is not illegal, and Stern has no right to punish them with this kind of thing, at most it is just a condemnation and warning.
So when Lin Han and the other three teammates of the Jazz returned to Utah after their All-Star trip, the NBA's recent public opinion was really crazy, and even Lin Han didn't expect it to end up like this.
Of course, what Lin Han didn't expect even more was Barkley, the leading player of the Suns. The guy said in an interview that he would be back soon, and that it wasn't anything else. It's a game between the Suns and the Jazz.
"Whether it has anything to do with Lin Han's early comeback, I don't think there is much to do with it, he is a very good young player, although I don't like his character, but I am looking forward to leading the team to beat the Jazz in the game"
"I don't have any opinion on what he thinks of his All-Star Game scoring 55 points, he's an All-Star MVP and I'm an All-Star MVP, so congratulations, he's finally catching up from behind me"
"Are you worried about losing again? No, there have been some games where we haven't been in a good position and we need to win as many games as possible because we're too far behind, and if we want to get a better playoff standing, then we need to keep winning, and we don't think about losing, for any team."
"And, in that game I think we're going to let him know what the real NBA looks like, remember, the real NBA!"
In an interview with the Houston Chronicle, Barkley not only complained about Olajuwon and others, but the Suns player also despised Lin Han again, although the first two games between the Suns and the Jazz were lost, and his appearance did not seem to be as good as Lin Han, but this did not hinder the confidence of the upcoming Suns leader.
And judging from the tone of the Suns' dominant player's mouth, this guy and his team are indeed angry.
Of course, Barkley and the Suns are confident right now, and they want to tell Sù Linham what the real NBA is, which is also because after the All-Star break, the Jazz's schedule is a bit difficult and has big problems.
After the All-Star break, the Jazz's first game was the continuation of the Pacific Road Tour that began on February 16, February 16 away to the Clippers, February 18 away to the Kings, because before the All-Star, the Jazz's last opponent was also the Pacific Division team Lakers, so the Jazz team because of the All-Star reasons, the Pacific Road trip was cut off.
If because of the All-Star reasons, the Jazz's road trip was cut off because the Clippers and Kings were not very good, then the Jazz's schedule after returning to the home court is not so good.
After playing the Kings away on February 18, they returned to their home court on February 19 to face the Clippers back-to-back at home, and on February 21 to host the 76ers, and after the game against the 76ers, the Jazz's most terrifying schedule of the month also began.
After the game with the 76ers, the Jazz immediately hosted the Western Conference powerhouse Spurs on February 23, and David Robinson, who was preparing to teach Lin Han a lesson like Barkley, was really hungry and thirsty, and then played the Spurs and then hosted the Suns, who had lost to the Jazz twice, on February 25, and Barkley would return early in this game.
And after the game with the Suns. On February 27th and February 28th, the Jazz will face the West's most formidable opponent, the Houston Rockets, home and away! The Jazz will play two games over two days. The opponents are all rockets.
Such a schedule is very difficult even if the Jazz have more home games and fewer away games, at least in the eyes of many people, the Jazz's schedule is too interesting, Lin Han offended so many bigwigs in the Western All-Star Game, and the next game will actually be in the NBA regular season Lin Han and these bigwigs take turns to play a trick.
There are even some fans and media after seeing this schedule. They already wonder if the alliance has been premeditated for a long time, and such an arrangement is simply god.
About these things, of course. Lin Han also knew about it after returning to Utah, but as far as he was concerned, it was difficult for him to think about these things, after all, at least he had to wait for these people to retaliate. That will have to wait until next week. And now.
When Lin Han and the other Jazz All-Star players returned to Utah, this team held a huge celebration for Lin Han, of course, this celebration was not only for Lin Han, although Lin Han won the MVP of the rookie game and the main game in the All-Star Game, but this was not enough for this team to go to such great lengths for an All-Star Game MVP, and the thing that really made this team go so hard to celebrate Lin Han to win the MVP of the All-Star Game is, After Lynham won the NBA All-Star Game MVP, the Jazz became the first team in NBA history to have four All-Star MVP players in a single season.
Lin Han is Xinke's all-star MVP. Stockton and Malone are also All-Star MVPs, and the team's backup interior Chambers is also an All-Star MVP. Although in the history of the NBA, it is a miracle for a team to have three All-Star players in a single season, but this has still happened after all, such as Ed McCauley, Bill Shalman and Bob Cousy of the Celtics before, the three big three in the history of the Celtics before the Bill Russell era were all All-Star MVPs, such as the former Kings' predecessor Cincingrati Royals' Big Three Oscar Robertson and Jerry Lucas and Adrian Smith were also All-Star Game MVPs and so on.
It's just because it was the barbaric era of the NBA, the number of NBA teams was pitiful, and it was very common for multiple people on the same team to win All-Star MVP, but in modern times, such a thing is difficult, after all, the players who can become All-Star MVP are all first-line stars in the league, and the first-line stars of the three leagues are in one team, this kind of thing is really difficult, let alone four first-line stars.
Although the team's veteran Chambers is here to make up the numbers, it is still a big event for a team like the Jazz, and both fans and management are very happy.
Although four All-Star MVPs are not an honor for one team, and they will not add a championship to the team, and other teams will not surrender when they see the Jazz, there is no doubt that this Jazz is the most prosperous team in Jazz history, and this team is also the most brilliant and powerful team in Jazz history.
At the very least, the presence of four All-Star MVPs on one team means that glory is prosperity, which will make fans and teams look forward to the team's results this season.
Therefore, this celebration, Jazz fans are no worse than the previous celebration when Jazz broke the Lakers' winning streak.
However, at the end of this celebration, the Jazz team will immediately start the team's all-star sprint journey after two days of rest, and now the Jazz team has a record of 43 wins and 5 losses, currently ranking first in the league, but such a record does not guarantee that the Jazz will be able to become the first in the regular season, after all, what really determines the fate of a team in the regular season is the sprint stage after the All-Star break.
If the Jazz were to run into a losing streak in the sprint, the team would quickly fall off the charts.
Don't think that a losing streak is hard to happen, for many teams that want to enter the playoffs or teams that are basically determined to enter the playoffs but want a better position, they will definitely blow up their form in the period from the end of February to the end of March.
Some teams have even risen more than one notch in terms of combat effectiveness.
However, the slightly better thing for the Jazz is that after the All-Star break, the team would have had some All-Star syndrome. But because the teams at the beginning were not very strong, the Jazz had some time to adjust.
On Feb. 16, the Jazz faced the Los Angeles Clippers led by big-ass point guards Mark Jackson and Danny Manning. The Clippers now have a record of 17 wins and 29 losses, basically there is no hope of the playoffs, and they can't brush up the first or second to last in the record, so for this team, they really have nothing to pursue now, and such a team is also the least combative team in the NBA sprint.
It's just that in this game with the Jazz, the Clippers almost let the Jazz sail in the gutter. In this first game after the Jazz All-Star, the Jazz's entire team was incredibly poor, and the team with the highest offensive points per game in the league in the first half actually scored only 37 points. The Clippers scored 37 points in the entire first half, while the Clippers scored 52 points, and after the end of the away half, the Clippers actually trailed by 15 points, not only Stockton was beaten by Mark Jackson, the point guard Barkley. Even Malone was made very wolf by Danny Manning. The insider, who is averaging 24 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists per game this season, is in the midst of trade rumors, and I heard that the Hawks are ready to trade their All-Star power forward Coleman and Manning, and now that the trade deadline is approaching, it may be only two days before the trade is completed.
Obviously, the whole Clippers team seems to be sending Manning off in this game, and this game is almost completely with the Jazz, in this case, the Jazz team who have not yet gotten out of the All-Star syndrome. As soon as he came up to the away court, he was beaten with a stick, if it weren't for Lin Han's personal 21 points in the first half. I'm afraid this game is even worse for the Jazz.
But fortunately, the strength of the Jazz team is indeed much stronger than the Clippers, and Malone and Stockton are the league's famous stable Mr. Dìng, and their ability to adjust the state is also good, so when this game ended, the Clippers, who had a halftime lead of 15 points, finally lost 99-1O3, and in this game Malone scored 2 points in 1o in the first half, and 6 in 12 in the second half and scored 23 points in the whole game, as for Stockton, he gave 12 assists in this game, and there were 5 turnovers and 5 fouls, It can be seen how wolf he played under Mark Jackson's big ass in this game, and Lin Han scored 37 points on 13-of-27 shooting, which is the most normal core player on the team.
After defeating the Clippers away from home, immediately after the away game with the Kings on February 18, the Jazz also played not very easily, although the Kings' interior line is the weakest interior line in the league, but the wing players of this team are the top in the league, especially after the team's big boss Richmond will not be lightly defeated by Lin Han in this game, this game Jazz is even more difficult, you know, Malone and Stockton are really not in good shape after the All-Star break, Malone was 8 of 22 in the last game, In this game with the Kings, the lineup sent by the Kings is one big and four small, and he actually faced Lionel Simmons, who was shorter than himself, and was Simmons 18 points and 13 rebounds in the whole game, if it weren't for the Jazz center PJ Brown who came to the Jazz and played his most exciting game of the season, this game scored 14 points and 18 rebounds, then I'm afraid the Jazz will have problems in this iron battle between the two teams.
That's right, this game is a battle between the two teams, especially when Richmond, who is extremely the defensive end, almost focuses on defending Lin Han, the two teams play iron almost from beginning to end, and finally Richmond scored 19 points in 6 of 22 in this game, while Lin Han scored 31 points in 12 of 27, the two teams made a total of 116 rebounds in this game, and the Jazz grabbed a total of 61 rebounds in this game, not only PJ Brown took 18, Malone took 13, Lin Han also took 1o rebounds in this game.
Although the Jazz defeated the Kings 93-86 and won two consecutive victories, the record also came to 45-5, but after this game, Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan was not satisfied and should be said to be very worried.
It's not just that the team has had some problems in these two games against the weak team who have no desire for anything, but more importantly, the team doesn't seem to be ready to sprint at the moment, and the next opponent of such a team will not care if they are ready or not.
When he thought of this, Jerry Sloan had another headache.
The recent celebration made the Jazz feel more confident about this season, and they all thought that this year's Jazz would usher in their own prime, and to truly bring this team to its prime, Jerry Sloan knew that he still had a lot to do. (To be continued!)
