No one thought that a series that had no suspense would end up like this, although the Jazz still won three in a row to advance, but no one who watched these three games would take the Jazz's victory for granted.

In the face of the highly targeted tactical play of the playoff team, the Jazz's lack of tactical flexibility was revealed so quickly, although the strength of the Trail Blazers is indeed excellent, and they are also playing hard in the playoffs, but as a team that ranks first in the regular season and breaks the record in the regular season, such a playoff start is actually not so satisfactory.

Of course, a conservative Jazz team and a conductor like Jerry Sloan also reached the Western Conference Finals back then, but it is obvious that not many people really had such great expectations for this team at that time, and it is definitely not comparable to now, at that time, the Jazz could curl up and cringe to reach the Western Conference Finals, but now the Jazz are going to do this, then it will definitely not work.

Therefore, after the first round of the playoffs between the Jazz and the Trail Blazers, although the Jazz defeated the Trail Blazers away with Lin Han's close 5x5 table and Ma Long's 3O points and 16 rebounds, the Jazz team back in Salt Lake City still encountered a lot of criticism from the NBA.

Even many experts or media who were not optimistic about the Jazz team before, but disappeared because the Jazz team's regular season record was too brilliant even jubilated at this time, and even some extreme media even directly said that the Jazz team could enter the Western Conference Finals, let alone win the championship.

I have to say. In the NBA, if a team wants to win a championship, it is not just a pile of players, nor is it just a team that wins three or four games. According to the schedule for a team to win a championship, it takes 15 games to win in the playoffs, which is a very long process and a great test for a team's overall quality.

Therefore, for the playoffs or their own championship road, both the Jazz players and the coaching staff are mentally prepared enough to accept some problems in the process, if a team has no problems on its own playoff or championship road. That's a strange thing.

It's just that what the Jazz didn't expect was that the player problems they expected were likely to occur did not appear first, and the first thing that came was the team's head coach.

So after the Jazz team returned to Salt Lake City after beating the Trail Blazers. As the head coach of the team, Jerry Sloan has also been drilling in the team's video editing room and his assistant Phil Johnson is watching the team's first-round game footage, as if trying to find a solution to his own problems, but for the Jazz players, can Jerry Sloan find a solution to the problem? Absolutely. The whole world can see the problem. How could Jerry Sloan not know, the key is just whether the head coach of the Jazz team is willing or dares to change his life creed.

Therefore, as for the current head coach of the team, the Jazz players are actually relatively calm or do not feel that there is much of a problem now.

"Lin, did you watch yesterday's Spurs-Warriors game? David Robinson, that guy is insane! ”

"yes, it's incredible to score more than 50 points in a single game in the playoffs, even though the Warriors' interior is very bad right now. But David Robinson's table is still incredible"

On May 6, 1994, the Jazz returned to Salt Lake City the day after defeating the Trail Blazers. When Lin Han came to the team from home early in the morning, in the locker room of the Jazz's training hall at this time, all the players on the team were talking about the third game between the Warriors and the Spurs last night.

And in this game, as the big boss of the Spurs, when the Warriors won two games in a row and the team was pushed to the edge of the cliff, David Robinson's table in this game can be described as magical, shooting 22 of 35 in a single game, hitting 58 points, 16 rebounds and 6 assists, directly blowing up the Warriors' interior body, for the two teams of the Warriors and the Spurs, whoever can play their own advantages will be able to control the game. The Warriors need to play to the limit and offense to drag down the Spurs, and the Spurs need to let their interior completely block and crush the Warriors, and the third game between the Warriors and the Spurs belongs to such a game.

David Robinson of the Spurs really couldn't bear to go crazy and crushed the Warriors with Chris Webber as the team's big and small inside, but compared with the excited Jazz players at this time, Lin Han was relatively calm at this time, he didn't look down on David Robinson's 58 points and 16 rebounds, on the contrary, there are really not many players who can get this number in the playoffs, and it can even be said that it is rare, this is a god-level swing.

The key is that the Spurs have 58 points and 16 rebounds in a single game that David Robinson has worked so hard for, and this team only won the Warriors by two points 1o5-13 away, and the Warriors even had a chance to kill three points at the last moment.

I have to say that the current time has reached their limit, and their advantage over the Warriors is still much worse than the advantage that the Warriors have for them.

"However, judging from the confrontation between these two teams, our next opponent is likely to be the Warriors, this team's offense is really crazy, the old Nelson actually dared to play one big and four small against the Spurs, and the big player in it is actually just Chris Webber"

Therefore, after Lin Han sat down, Stockton on the side also said that although David Robinson of the Spurs is really crazy, and if he is not crazy, he will be swept away, but it is obvious that David Robinson cannot play such a table on the field, what Lin Han can see, as Stockton, who has the highest IQ in the team, he can naturally see it.

So Stockton was after saying that. Lin Han also nodded, when the other party had a huge advantage, he didn't think of a way to curb the other party's advantage. It's about finding a way to play to your advantage, which is really a very courageous thing, just like if Sloan were to face the Spurs in the Warriors head coach position, the Jazz head coach would definitely be full of people on his inside.

Although these two statements can't talk about who is right and who is wrong, just like the superstar style of play that Lin Han and Malone insisted on and the team style that Jerry Sloan expected during the previous Jazz infighting, it is impossible to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of the two styles of play. Because he has been able to win so far, it's just that Jerry Sloan will feel more at ease when he sees the team play, and Lin Han and Ma Long playing superstar play will make Lin Han and Ma Long even happier.

The most critical point is the question of fit and suitability. Jerry Sloan's conservatism and Nelson's madness Sr. This is a matter of style, and now Nelson Sr. has been praised and Jerry Sloan has been belittled not because of the difference in strength between the two, but because Nelson Sr.'s madness is in line with the overall style of the Warriors, and Jerry Sloan's conservatism may be in line with the style of the Jazz in the past. But it's definitely not in line with the style of the Jazz team right now.

So. Stockton's words are full of respect for the old Nelson, more because the combination of the Warriors and the old Nelson is indeed very suitable, and it is also a little helpless, but now the Jazz and the team's head coach still need to run in.

As Larry Bird said in an interview after the last game, the Jazz themselves didn't expect their team to grow so quickly, so they haven't found a balance so far.

Although Larry Bird has been criticizing Jerry Sloan lately, this statement is indeed true, and even Jerry Sloan himself admits that Lin Han's growth is too fast. The Jazz have improved so quickly, as a head coach. He felt like he couldn't keep up, he couldn't make a proper positioning and assessment of his team's players.

And this is the reason why Jerry Sloan locked himself in the video room to watch the video, probably not to find a solution to the problem, but to get more familiar with these players and understand the strength of his group of players.

Of course, in any case, although the first round of the playoffs against the Trail Blazers exposed a lot of problems so early, winning in the NBA has a qiē, and for the Jazz, although many public opinion has now expressed criticism of the Jazz, but more because the Jazz did not show the dominance of a record team, which disappointed them.

And soon, these NBA public opinion or American media loosened their eyes from the stall of criticizing the Jazz, because the league announced the major NBA regular season trophies for two consecutive days, which can almost be said to have put the Jazz in a constant swipe.

With the exception of the two less important awards, the Most Improved Player of the Washington Bullets, Don McClen and the Sixth Man of the Year won by Dell Curry, and the Defensive Player of the Year being successfully defended by Olajuwon, almost all of the other major awards are represented by the Jazz.

As the head coach of the Jazz this season, although Jerry Sloan has been controversial in recent times, the head coach who led the team to 72 wins in a single season still won the NBA best coach this year without any suspense.

Of course, in addition to the fact that there is no controversy about the best head coach, and the selection has been decided almost before the award comes out, there is also no controversy about the other award, the best general manager, although it is Jerry Sloan's decision to select Lin Han in the draft, but as the general manager of the Jazz team, Scott Reden, such a credit is naturally impossible not to touch, and even because Jerry Sloan is the head coach, so most of the credit for the Jazz's selection of Lin Han is on Scott Reden, in this case, The general manager of the Jazz team, like Jerry Sloan, can be said to have won this award without any doubt, and after Scott Reden won this award, the even more gratifying thing is that the Jazz's Redden father and son became the first father and son in NBA history to win the best general manager, which is a very good story.

The last Jazz general manager to win the best general manager was Frank Rearden, when he was the head coach of the Jazz team and the general manager of the Jazz team, when he retired, he passed the position of head coach to his assistant Jerry Sloan, and the position of general manager was passed to his son Scott Reden, I am afraid that this old man did not think that his disciples and sons could do better than him when he handed over the shift.

Of course. In addition to these two awards, which are considered managerial awards, there are other awards such as the best player awards, such as the best defensive team. All three of the Jazz's leading players have entered, and even Lin Han and Malone have become players in the All-Defensive Team for a while.

For this year's best defensive player, this is not much controversy, especially when Olajuwon is still efficient on the defensive end without his interior partner Thorpe, there is no controversy about this award, and the biggest controversy about the defensive award is whether Lin Han can become a defensive player.

Although this award was given at the end of the first round of the playoffs. But a lot of gossip has come out before, and Lin Han entered the defense as a rookie this season, so when this gossip came out. Public opinion in the United States was almost in an uproar.

If Lin Han enters the best team for a while, then this is a matter of course, because the best team for a first time is an award for a player's comprehensive table, record. Both offense and defense have to be considered. As an outside player, if Lin Han enters the first team, it will be one of the best three in the league's outside defense table this season, although Lin Han's defense is indeed excellent, but is it the top three?

Eventually, when the last game between the Jazz and the Trail Blazers was over, the controversy was completely gone. Because Linhan's blockade of Terry Porter in that game was really good, at least in that game. Lin Han does have that kind of strength.

So, if you really want to talk about controversy, after this award comes out, the biggest controversy is probably Karl Malone, Malone defeated the Knicks' Oakley and was selected as a defense, although Malone is very good on the defensive end this year because of a teammate like Lin Han, the average number of close to 2 steals and 2 blocks per game this season is very good, and many times at the beginning of the season because the Jazz interior line is weak, the big forward has to keep an eye on many of the league's interior lines, but a team like the Jazz team has the most points, The team that has lost a lot of points has two first-defense players at once, which is still relatively unacceptable.

However, the controversy is controversial, but the best defensive team led by Olajuwon and composed of Malone, Pippen, Limham and Payton can still be accepted by most people, as for the second team of David Robinson, Oakley and Rodman, and Stockton and Brecquelow, there are not many people who talk about it.

If there are only two of the best defensive team Jazz team into the first line, then in the next best team, it will be even more terrifying, when the league announced the best team, although everyone has long been prepared for this, but when they see the result, there will still be a burst of exclamation.

This year's NBA All-Star Team is centered Olajuwon, forwards Malone and Pippen, and guards are Lynham and Stockton, and a team of three is on the first team for the first time in NBA history.

However, because the Jazz's regular season performance this year is really incredible, whether it is assist king Stockton, scoring king Lin Han or Malone who is most likely to win the regular season MVP in the future, there is no controversy about any of these three people entering the first team.

On the contrary, the controversy of the second team this year is much greater than that of the first team, because there are two young names in this lineup, this year's second team is center David Robinson, forwards Barkley and Kemp, and the guard position is Hardaway and Sprewell, these two actually beat Kevin Johnson of the Suns and Richmond of the Kings and Drexler of the Rockets, of course, Drexler is not to mention, he is absent too much, as for Richmond, the team's record is too bad, the key is Kevin Johnson,, This number can be said to be quite outstanding, although Hardaway's 2o+6+7 and Sprewell's 21+5+5 are also excellent, but these two are newcomers after all, and it is still okay to give Kevin Johnson a position, but it is obvious that although the Suns failed in the end and deliberately brushed to the sixth, there is no way to say anything in the rules, but when voting for this kind of award, it still makes people see that many people have some disgust with this team.

Of course, for the league's current best team, one of the most pitiful things is the ranking of the four centers, and there are only three positions in the best team. But there are four of the big four centers, in this case. And the team's record can also rank fourth in the East, such a number and record can only allow him to find a place in the best team three.

Although it is said that with such a record and number jù can only find a place in the third team, but for O'Neal is already very satisfied, it is okay to enter a burst on the number jù, plus the record has also improved the magic a lot, but because it was rotated several times by the three major centers at the time. He wasn't even able to enter the three formations.

Although he was still rounded by the three centers in the regular season this year, he finally defeated Ewing and entered the third team. Ewing, on the other hand, was extremely sad and did not even enter the three formations.

As the No. 1 team in the league in the East, none of the Knicks' players made the All-Star team, so when this selection came out, it was the discipline of the New York media. How could they have let go of such an extremely humiliating thing.

It's just that Olajuwon and the admiral really can't be black. The record is better than Ewing's, but O'Neal, who has an extremely bad playoff table this year, is different.

So many of the media that were still crazy about the Jazz and Jerry Sloan, when the league announced these awards, all turned their guns and aimed at O'Neal for a while, which made the Jazz a lot easier.

Generally speaking, the major awards announced by the NBA are released one by one, and the regular season MVP, which is the biggest award in the regular season, is often relatively late.

However, although the NBA's regular season MVP came out relatively late, a lot of gossip is not too late. Even a long time ago, after just one playoff game between the Jazz and the Trail Blazers. There are rumors outside that the voting results of this year's regular season MVP are very surprising, but no one knows how surprised they are, and even at that time, there were many rumors that because Stockton, Malone and Lin Han had too many votes on the voting side, the director Olajuwon successfully counterattacked and unexpectedly won the MVP of the regular season.

And when such a statement or rumor came out, even the NBA official did not refute the rumor, and at that time, there was a feeling that Olajuwon's counterattack on MVP was more and more true.

And when the league announced the results of the league's regular season MVP on May 8, when everyone saw the result, they were also shocked into a cold sweat.

There are 121 people who participated in the NBA regular season MVP voting this year, and Ma Long, who was elected to this year's MVP, received only 31 first votes this year, which is only 2 more than Olajuwon, who ranked second in this year's regular season MVP, and Olajuwon had 29 first votes

Stockton and Lynghham are 27 and 24 respectively, the Jazz received a total of 82 first votes this year, with this team's record this year, if it weren't for Olajuwon's table Xiàn also against the sky, and Pippen also led the Bulls to become the third in the East and got 6 first votes, the Jazz's first votes should be more, and even more than 1oo is not impossible.

It's just obvious that even if there are only more than 8o first votes, but if they are all placed on a certain player, then it is easy enough to win the MVP, but if the three of them share the 8o votes, it is indeed very likely that there will be a very big problem, just like this time, although Malone won the MVP, but the first vote is only two more than Olajuwon, and even the score is only 55 points more than Olajuwon, which is a very weak gap.

However, although Malone won the regular season MVP is a bit thrilling, and even so thrilling that the league doesn't know what to do, if the Jazz really let the regular season MVP fall because of the three core votes, then there will be a joke in this year's NBA selection.

Of course, although missing out on the MVP of the regular season this year made Lin Han or Stockton a little regretful, but soon, Lin Han won his most important individual honor this season, he became the best rookie in the NBA this year and was selected to the rookie first team, and Stockton also won an individual award, some chicken IBM awards.

And just when the Jazz swept the major awards of this year's NBA regular season, the Jazz's next opponent finally came out On May 9, 1994, the Warriors were chased by the crazy David Robinson at home with their strong strength for two consecutive games, and went to the home court of the Spurs, this crazy offensive team once again let the Alamo Arena fall, 89-117, the Spurs lost to the Warriors in the tie-break battle, and the first round was out.

And the Warriors have become the next opponent for the Jazz. (To be continued......)
