Chapter 50: The Four Little Swingers
"Lin, did you watch the news yesterday? The Mavericks beat the Timberwolves in three overtimes on the road, Marshburn became the second-youngest Mr. 50 in NBA history, and the United States today calls Mashburn, along with Hardaway and Ryddle, the 'crazy rookie four forward guards', you little guys are unbelievable, even the 84 generation I remember not being as crazy as you, right? β
"The four crazy young guards are really a big mouth, but you guys really deserve such a title."
On November 15, 1993, when Lin Han came to the locker room of the team's training hall early in the morning, the team's boss Karl Malone shouted to Lin Han waving a newspaper in his hand.
You don't need to look at Lin Han to know that the newspaper in Malone's hand is the latest newspaper in the United States Today this morning, Lin Han also read it at home, this top media focusing on young players in American basketball today called Lin Han and Magic's Hardaway Mavericks' Mashburn and Timberwolves' Ryder as the 'league's four small guard swingmen' directly compared Lin Han to Jordan, Mashburn to Dominic Wilkins, Hardaway to Drexler, and Ryder to Chris Mullin.
You must know that whether it is Jordan, Mullin, or Drexler and Wilkinson, these people are the top guard players in the league, and they are also the best group of guard superstars in the league at present. For example, aren't these Jazz players discussing this matter in a very interesting way at this time?
I have to say that this year's rookies in the 1993 industry or these four young guard swingmen are too powerful, such as Lin Han, who has been the most outstanding in the recent table, he is now the league's scoring champion, averaging 42 points per game, although he is not as good as Jordan in other numbers, but so far there is not much controversy about comparing him to a smaller version of Jordan, and his playing style is also very similar to Jordan, as for Hardaway, although this guy does not have Lin Han's crazy scoring performance after entering the NBA, But perhaps because of the scoring trend brought by Lin Han, Hardaway seems to have changed a little, so after five games, the all-around rookie has averaged 2o points per game in addition to assists and rebounds, and he is the only player among all rookies this year who averages 2o+6+6 per game, and Draxler at his peak is also a player who averages 25+6+6 per game.
Hardaway has been affected by Lin Han's crazy score this year, and his personal attack has increased a lot, and in fact, the most affected by Lin Han this year is not Hardaway, Hardaway has always been a low-key and reserved player, and the principle has always been that if he can assist, he will assist, and he really can't assist and then play output, for example, if the Magic team is injured by O'Neal, it is estimated that Hardaway's number will definitely soar, so Hardaway will not change much even if he accepts Lin Han's influence and adjusts his style of play.
And like the Mavericks' Mashburn and the Timberwolves' Ryddle, these two don't have as many concerns as Hardaway, the Mavericks and the Timberwolves where these two guys are located lost all four games in the first four games, until the fifth game when the two sides played, the Mavericks ended the losing streak, and the Timberwolves are still losing streaks, for the brush JΓΉ, can there be any more enjoyable than rebuilding the team in the fish belly, the Mavericks and the Timberwolves played three overtimes so that Mashburn played 51 minutes and scored 55 points, and also let Ryder play 46 minutes and score 42 points, After five games, the average score per game came to 3o points, you must know that Lin Han also knows about this guy because he faced Mashburn in the first game, according to Ellie's intelligence, this guy's average score in his rookie season should be more than 19 points, and he has definitely not scored 2o points, although it is only the beginning of the season, and Mashburn will decline in the future, but it is still much stronger than the Mashburn in Erie's intelligence.
As for Ryddle, the last Timberwolves, this guy is relatively unlucky to play off the bench in the first two games, although he has been corrected recently, but he is also the worst in terms of numbers, so the four small forward swingmen in the United States today are considered to be at the bottom, even if they are at the bottom, Ryder is now averaging more than 2o points per game after 42 points.
Four rookies in a year have averaged 2o points per game, has that ever been in NBA history?
Last year, that is, in 1992, only O'Neal and Mourning, two centers, averaged more than 2o points per game, and in addition to O'Neal and Mourning last year, the last one who was able to average more than 2o points per game in his rookie season was Mitch Richmond, one of the best Mesozoic shooting guards in the league, the 27-year-old guard averaged 22 points per game in his 1988 rookie season, and as for the 1984 golden generation, except for Jordan and Olajuwon, no one has been able to average more than 2o points per game, In other words, the only players who have reached this number in the last decade are Jordan in '84, Olajuwon, Ewing in '85, Ron Harper in '86, Richmond in '88, O'Neal and Mourning in '92.
Although it is certainly impossible to maintain this number after the end of the season, these four young players are definitely the most prominent players in the current league.
Coupled with the departure of Jordan, the league's leading player, the league needs to cultivate new young idols, so after this USA Today report appeared, it seems that other big media such as the New York Times and the Los Angeles Post are also discussing these young people this year.
There is no doubt that these big media can start to create public opinion and topics for these four young players on the same day, if there is no one in the middle who does not believe Lin Han himself, it is obvious that in order to save the ratings and attention of the league, the league seems to have begun to strength.
And this makes Lin Han, who already feels that his position is extremely embarrassed, even more embarrassed, such a large-scale packaging of these four young rookies will naturally attract the attention of the real four big forward swing guards in the league or the attention of those star players who are interested in competing for this position, in this case, the road of the four young people in the future will definitely not be easy, especially Lin Han, who was shaped as Jordan II after Jordan left.
Jordan is indeed the best player in the NBA, and he also has a lot of supporters, the league will package Lin Han as Jordan II, so that those Jordan fans who have left because of Jordan will come back again and pay a little attention to Lin Han, which can reduce losses for the league, but Jordan's enemies in the NBA are really a lot, when Jordan was in the league, this uncle had a good time and abused all the opposing players in the league I don't know how many times, now Jordan is gone, who else can these players who have been abused by Jordan not look for Lin Han? Who made Lin Han the one who came from Jordan II,
"God is going to destroy me"
Looking at these excited teammates, Lin Han really couldn't be happy, at this time he had scolded the group of high-level executives in the NBA in his heart I don't know how many times.
Of course, although Lin Han's mood at this time was full of doubts about the future, and he felt that the road ahead of him was extremely bumpy, but no matter what, no matter how bumpy the road was, he still needed to move forward.
"Lin, starting tomorrow we are going to play away in the east, our first opponent is Magic, you must come on, your opponent seems to be that Hardaway, it seems to be one of the four little swingers, it's so interesting, hahahaha"
Looking at this group of teammates who didn't think it was a big deal, Lin Han was also speechless for a while.
Of course, at this time, Lin Han's teammates wanted to see what the matchup between the league's newly launched four little swingers was, and after this morning's training, when Jazz head coach Sloan led the team to board the plane, the Jazz coach, who has always been strict, actually encouraged Lin Han rarely, and seemed to be looking forward to tomorrow's showdown between him and Hardaway.
And Lin Han is very clear about the gap between himself and Hardaway, it can be said that Hardaway is one of the players Lin Han is most afraid of now, now Lin Han is not afraid of his opponent's player attacking well, it's a big deal that the two of them attack, Lin Han has never been afraid of heads-up, so the offensive players who played heads-up with Lin Han Mashburn and Ryder died very miserably, and Lin Han is also not afraid that the player he is opposing is a pure defensive player with a bad offense, such an opponent is a big deal to play crazy iron in a game, anyway, even if there is more iron, His jump shot is chic and picturesque, who dares to say that he was defeated by the other side? It's a big deal to say that I don't feel good today, even Jordan has times when I feel bad.
And a guy like Hardaway who has a good defense, a good offense, and a good organization is what Lin Han hates the most, and the worst result is likely to be that the defense is blown up and the offense is played crazy.
"I really want to be stronger."
Lin Han, who walked out of Orlando Airport, looked at the dense crowd of reporters and cameras outside the airport, and wanted to use his strength to kill all sides in the alliance, but now it seems that there is still a long way to go.
