Chapter 225: Record, 70 Victories Achieved!
(There will be a third chapter later.,If you can't wait, you can get up tomorrow morning and read it.,Well,That's it.,Finally, ask for a subscription again)
As soon as the game between the Lakers and the Jazz came up, Lakers head coach Bill Betka, the 67-year-old acting head coach of the Lakers, in order not to become the background board of the Jazz team, it can be said that he gave up the offensive play that the team has been adhering to as soon as he came up, and directly shrank up to play defense. *
This is completely to deal with the Jazz's running and athleticism, for a team like the Jazz, if you want to play offense with them, basically except for a few teams in the league, how many other teams have died, not to mention the current Lakers, according to Bill Betka's design, although the Lakers' conservative style of play in this game may not be able to really win, but according to the characteristics of the Jazz, they still have a chance to win the next game.
Although Bill Betka, the Lakers' consultant and director of scouting, was in a hurry after the resignation of the team's former head coach Randy Fender, as the assistant coach of the Lakers when he was sho-time, the 67-year-old man was a person who had experienced all kinds of storms and waves in the NBA, and he had never seen any kind of situation, so he was originally just a rogue move by the team to become the team's head coach, and Jerry West originally hoped that Magic Johnson could come back and become the team's player and head coach. But the Magic is reluctant to come back at this time, there is no way, the Lakers' current record is really impossible to say, coupled with the current terrifying power of the Jazz in the West, even if the Lakers can finally counterattack the Trail Blazers. Magic Johnson also doesn't think he's leading the team to anything big.
So although the Magic had always had plans to come back and become the head coach of the team after his illness was brought under control, he finally rejected Jerry West's request. So the old man Betka, who was originally just the acting head coach, can only continue to lead the team, although he has never coached an NBA team, but this old man still brings the Lakers well with his prestige and experience in the team, and his recent record is actually okay.
Based on his estimate of the Jazz, this team can only rely on Malone for its interior offense, and Malone has excellent technical ability and all-round offensive skills. However, the natural height disadvantage and some personality reasons, as long as you can stick to the inside, suppress the Jazz's offense and interior offense. As long as the Jazz keep shooting from the outside, the Lakers definitely have some chance to win.
But when the game started, no one thought that the Jazz's offense was not the blocking of Malone and Stockton, nor the three-point shooting that Lin Han has been very crazy in recent times. This kid actually completed the 'little sky hook' of the magician Johnson in front of him. And in this way, he scored the first two points in this game against the Lakers.
As the Lakers' assistant coach in the Lakers sho-time era, how could he be unfamiliar with Magic Johnson, when Lin Han just made a sideways move, the Lakers head coach already had an extremely familiar feeling, and when Lin Han completed the hook, he was as shocked as Larry Bird and Magic Johnson.
Although with the success of Abdul-Jabbar and Magic Johnson in the hook technique, the hook shot, which has always been a non-mainstream style of play, can be said to be one of the conventional weapons of interior players in the current NBA, and many interior players will have a very good hook hand under the basket. For example, O'Neal, one of the four centers who have recently stepped up, this guy's small hook under the basket can be said to be one of the best in the league right now.
But obviously. Although many of the alliance's insiders have now regarded the hook as a regular weapon, the hook used by these people is still different from the hook used by magicians and Abdul-Jabbar, not only because of the different people who use it, but also because the style of use is completely different.
In addition to the long range, another feature of Abdul-Jabbar's sky hook is that it can cover all positions within the three-point line, and another feature is that the technical action is complex, Abdul-Jabbar will often get rid of the opponent first when using the hook hand, and then shake the opponent to the next and then shoot, in addition to the wrist and finger force when hooking, the technical action is really complicated, and the offensive rate is really slow, although the power is powerful, but it will be very embarrassing to meet some strong people, such as when he met Chamberlain, It's because there are too many hook hand preparations, this skill, which Abdul-Jabbar called absolutely impossible to block, was also risked by the aging Chamberlain.
Of course, there is only one Chamberlain in the history of the NBA, and after Chamberlain, Abdul-Jabbar is not afraid of anyone, even if the current No. 1 center Olajuwon meets the elderly Abdul-Jabbar.
Although Abdul-Jabbar's trick is indeed very powerful, but just like the incident that Abdul-Jabbar was taken by Chamberlain before, it can be clearly known that this skill is a little complicated because of the preparation time, coupled with the player's technical ability and physical elements, especially the height requirements are too much, so the average player is not good at all, after all, for interior players, the most taboo is that the offensive action is too complicated, if there is no strong technical ability and body like Abdul-Jabbar, it is easy to be defended or eaten.
So in that era, even though Abdul-Jabbar's trick was already famous, most of the players in the league only had a greedy share and couldn't learn it at all, but what was very surprising was that others couldn't learn it, but Abdul-Jabbar's teammate at that time, Magic Johnson, the brilliant league-level point guard, actually found another way to improve Abdul-Jabbar's powerful hook, but it was not suitable for others to learn, and changed all those complicated preparation moves and the way of force when shooting. Although the range of this hook has been greatly reduced due to the change of force mode, and the probability of not shaking off the defender's guide has increased after reducing many complicated preparation actions in front of him, the degree of shooting has been greatly improved, and more importantly. The suddenness of the shot has increased.
When Magic Johnson was attacking back then, the mid-distance hook after breaking through the emergency stop was a must in the league, and this also gave him the nickname of 'Little Sky Hook'. And the small sky hook is definitely the most suitable hook for outside players.
And more importantly, since the Magic improved Abdul-Jabbar's Sky Hook, many players in the league have found inspiration from this, and most of them have given up Abdul-Jabbar's hook hand with almost no dead ends, because they all know that it is impossible to completely replicate it, so after Magic turned the Sky Hook into a small Sky Hook with a faster shot and a shorter range. Many players in the league began to improve again on the basis of Magic's small sky hook, and finally the hook range in the league is getting closer and closer, but the suddenness and degree of the shot are getting faster and more direct.
For example, the hook used by interior players such as O'Neal has changed even the defense used. If Abdul-Jabbar and Magic were both sideways hooks, now these inside hooks are frontal hooks, because they are more direct and less technical. And even more importantly. The hook hand of the face frame is more stable, the hit rate is better controlled, and of course, the relative range is naturally shorter.
After all, although Magic Johnson improved Abdul-Jabbar's Sky Hook and made the Sky Hook a little less technical, the little Sky Hook is not low in technical content, and it is also not so easy to learn, for many outside players. Instead of learning this really powerful way of shooting and spending a lot of energy, it is better to learn the three-point shot to be more reliable, and the three-point shot can have three points in one attack. No matter how beautiful Xiao Tiangou is, it is only two points, and although this shooting method that is not so easy to control is powerful in the hands of magicians, the hit rate may not necessarily be higher than that in the hands of others, in this case, Xiao Tiangou and Tiangou slowly became chicken ribs, so after the magician retired, it also disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Of course, the sky hook and the small sky hook are gone, but the offensive methods such as the hook hand and the small hook hand are still greatly promoted in the current NBA, especially among the NBA's interior players.
So at this time, when Lin Han's first offense was completed with Xiaotiangou, it was understandable that these people on the scene were so surprised, especially those celebrities of the Lakers who were so surprised.
Especially for the Lakers, when Lin Han used a small sky hook on the offensive end, their interior blocking of the Jazz became a joke, especially when the first quarter of this game began, after Lin Han used the small sky hook to complete the offense on the first ball, he continued to hook around the paint area around the free throw line in the positional offense, and the Lakers' current acting head coach Betka was even directly stunned.
As one of the most senior coaches in the Lakers team now, how could Betka not know that Magic Johnson's little sky hook is not an invincible skill, even Abdul-Jabbar's sky hook is not invincible, not to mention the simplified and improved small sky hook, but the key is that even if he knows how to deal with Xiao Tian Gou, he can't let his players also know how to deal with such an offensive way, especially at this time The Lakers players on the court are except for Worthy, The others, whether it was Divac or Xavi, or George Lynch, who defended Linhan directly face to face, were on the court at the same time as him, and they were all sluggish.
was completely stunned by Lin Han's use of the greatest player in the team's history, and he was at a loss for a while, and the Lakers' defensive formation, which was originally very well arranged, was directly broken by Lin Han after the game started.
"It's incredible, Lin Han is really incredible, when did he learn this way of attacking under the basket? It's unbelievable?! ”
When this game started, Lin Han used his hook hand on the Lakers inside again and again to stir up the wind and rain, as the on-site commentator of this game, the former head coach of the Bulls Collins was also a little excited for a while, you must know that when he coached the Bulls, Jordan also learned the magic hook at the beginning, although the hook on the back Jordan is actually not bad, but the more the Bulls master player learns back then, the more he does not like it, and it slowly becomes the front hook hand like many interior players now, In the playoffs with the Knicks last season, in the face of Starks' defense, it was difficult to complete a Magician-style small sky hook with his back, and it was finally blown out of action. From this, it can be seen that the difficulty of this technology is Cheng Dù, even a person with extreme talent like Jordan can't play the small sky hook with his back, and Lin Han is now so proficient in even running and shooting the small sky hook. This is no longer a miracle.
At least at this time, in Collins's mind, Lin Han's basketball talent can no longer be described as a miracle, it is already a miracle, which makes Collins, who is already more and more like Lin Han's brainless, have a more brainless direction.
"It seems that it will be really difficult for the Lakers to get out of this game"
Of course, Collins was really excited at this time, and after Lin Han proved that he had fully mastered the skill of Xiaotiangou, the former head coach of the Bulls couldn't stop being excited. At this time, Celtics legend Larry Bird, the legendary football king next to Collins, calmed down a lot after excitement at this time, as a member of the tide of learning Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's sky hook that year, although he was also extremely smart and like the magician, he was not able to learn the sky hook well. But Larry Bird's hook technique is also excellent, although it may not be as good as that of a magician, but it is not so far behind, in Larry Bird's mind. Lin Han was originally considered to be a genius at the same level as him. In this case, Lin Han is now able to learn from Magic Johnson's best outside hook hand, although he is indeed a little surprised, but after the accident, he is still a little relieved, after all, Lin Han has such ability and potential in his mind.
So after calming down, the Celtics legend also lamented the tragedy of the Lakers in this game.
Although when he was a player, he competed with the Lakers and his friend Magic Johnson all his life, but seeing that the invincible Lakers back then have now become the backdrop for a team like the Jazz. The Celtic legend is still very complicated.
Especially in recent times, his parent team, the Celtics, is actually not much better than the Lakers, which makes the former Celtics king who has just retired a sense of wrongdoing.
Of course. At this time, Larry Bird was lamenting that the NBA was wrong and that this era was no longer the era of him and the Magic and Thomas, and even this era now seems to be no longer the era that only belongs to Jordan, but at this time, the players on both sides on the court still didn't think so much.
Although not long ago, the Lakers called a timeout, and the Lakers arranged a lot of small hook shots for Lin Han, which can be seen from the game, but when this arrangement continues, the Lakers have not become better in essence and can even make it more difficult.
Because when the Lakers no longer tolerate the opposing player's use of the skills of the greatest player in team history to deal with themselves, they are almost trying their best to save Lin Han, not only George Lynch as the first line of defense one-on-one defense Lin Han, the Lakers' interior combination Divac and Harvey are staring at Lin Han almost all the time, in this case, this is too beneficial for other players of the Jazz, such as the Jazz's power forward Malone.
When the Lakers' interior defense was all aimed at Lin Han, the Jazz power forward, who was brilliant as long as there was a little sunshine, was unbelievably damaging to the Lakers, at least not more than Lin Han's damage to the Lakers.
But in the face of Ma Long's big kill at this time, the Lakers have no way at this time, although Lin Han is playing outside in this game, but this guy's inside offensive method completely opens up space for Ma Long, and the Jazz's inside offense is no longer just counting on Ma Long alone, in this case, the Lakers' pre-game arrangement has been considered a failure, in this case, in order to save the last face, even if they die, they can't die under the magician's stunt, which makes them can only pinch Lin Han to let go of Ma Long, There's no way around it.
So when the Lakers and Jazz were in this game, the Lakers looked more and more collapsed, not only the Lakers players on the court and the Lakers coach on the sidelines looked very ugly at this time.
Even the Knicks head coach Pat Riley on the sidelines looked very ugly at this time, the Lakers head coach in the Lakers sho-time era really knew this trick too well, and he also knew too well how Lin Han would help the Jazz after he could use this trick.
If the game between the Jazz and the Lakers in this game reflects that Lin Han can liberate Ma Long's offensive pressure after being able to use Xiao Tian Gou, so that Ma Long is no longer a person to support the Jazz's interior offense, then in addition. What's more, a team like the Rockets or the Knicks with a strong interior defense will have nothing to do with Lin Han.
In the past, although Lin Han's offense was diverse, he broke through in a straight line. Change-of-direction breakouts, three-point shots, and the kind of straight-up and straight-down jumpers and Jordan-style back-to-back jumpers, and even back-to-back breakouts that are very similar to Kemp, but these offenses and defenses are actually very disturbed by the inside, such as Jordan, Lin Hanhui's these, in addition to the three-pointers. Jordan will be, but Jordan will face Olajuwon when he faces the Rockets. What kind of table is xiàn? For Jordan, it was absolutely miserable, and what kind of table did Jordan face the Knicks? Although Jordan's Bulls defeated the Knicks for two years in a row, they faced the Knicks. Jordan's appearance was not as good as he used to.
For a level outside line. When they face a team with a division of interior line, especially against a team with a very holistic defense with a core interior line, the table is absolutely inhibited.
So although he was killed by the Jazz in the regular season this season, Pat Riley has always been confident in whether he can beat the Jazz, because the failure of the Knicks in these two games cannot be said to be a tactical failure of the team, only because of some accidents, the team lost, for the Jazz. The Knicks have a way, and so does Pat Riley. Although Lin Han has been growing, and the degree of growth is extremely surprising, the height of Lin Han's growth has not been beyond the highest range he designed.
But now, when Lin Han can have an extremely good way of scoring inside on the offensive end, now all teams in the league have more than one level of defensive difficulty for Lin Han, especially after having this move, with Lin Han's excellent off-ball running and ball-holding ability, he doesn't need to impact the basket at all, and there is no need to throw three points crazy on the outside, and there is no need to play the kind of mid-range pull-up jump shot that doesn't hit well but jumps very high in the middle distance. There's also no need to be close to the mid-range to play a difficult back-to-back jumper.
So when he thought of this, the head coach of the Knicks looked at the Jazz No. 8 on the court who almost pinned down most of the Lakers' defense, and the Lakers celebrity almost gritted his teeth with hatred.
Of course, Pat Riley's face was extremely unsightly at this time, but many other Lakers celebrities on the sidelines now had very strange faces, especially after Lin Han played such a small hook more than once.
Although the small sky hook is difficult to learn, but the NBA has countless geniuses, although most people can't turn this trick into a conventional weapon, but it is not without players who can use it once or twice in the game, the most famous Jordan used that time to be blown invalid, in addition to Jordan, Jordan's teammate Pippen also played a small sky hook very similar to Magic Johnson in the game, but these people are all accidents without exception, like Lin Han can use this move as a conventional weapon, unique.
In this case, with the difficulty of learning this trick, if there was no Abdul-Jabbar's guidance, the magician would never be able to play the small sky hook, and similarly, without the magician's guidance, if Lin Han could play the small sky hook, the ghost would believe it, even a strongman like Jordan, who is known as the first day of NBA history, can't play it, how old is Lin Han this year? How long has he been playing basketball? Can he play this trick?
It is true that Lin Han is a genius, but the genius is stronger than Jordan, which makes it hard to believe.
So at this time, when watching the Lakers on the court continue to sink, the Magic Johnson on the sidelines is stared at by his team's money teammates or seniors, which is quite uncomfortable, especially when he sees Lin Han and his almost identical movements again and again, he himself believes that Lin Han is definitely the apprentice he taught by hand.
"Magic, it seems that you, like Jerry, also admire this kid, but this kid's talent is really good, it didn't take much time when you learned this trick, I didn't expect this kid to be able to learn from you so quickly"
When the half of this game ended, the Lakers, who were going to play turtle in this game, actually lost by 24 points 42-66 away, and the Lakers spared no effort in the first half except for Lin Han's encirclement and interception, and the other tables were quite bad both on the offensive and defensive ends.
Therefore, as the head coach of the Lakers, Lakers owner Jerry Buss, who was sitting next to Jazz owner Miller Sr. and league president David Stern, also had a not so good-looking face, but in the face of his team owner, there were obviously some compliments that were not praises. At this time, Magic Johnson originally wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed, and then looked at the Jazz No. 8 on the court with some complications.
The same. At this time, Jerry Sloan, the general manager of the Lakers on the side, also frowned a little after Old Bass said such a thing at this time.
Obviously, Old Bass was a little dissatisfied with the magician and him, Jerry West had been recommending Lin Han to him before, and Old Bas naturally knew that Jerry West admired Lin Han very much, because he admired Lin Han, so in Old Bass's opinion, Jerry West contacted Lin Han in advance without explaining to him, not only did he contact Lin Han in advance. He also asked the magician to contact Lin Han and directly teach Lin Han to learn his mastery.
Although the elder Bass is indeed open-minded and has great trust in Jerry West and Magic, these two are the godfathers of the team. One is the greatest player in the history of the team, how can these two people accept that they have come into contact with Lin Han without explaining it to him, and have such deep contact? No matter how generous a person is, he can't accept such a thing. What's more, in recent times, Old Bass has been thinking about letting his son take over. At this pace, if he really retires, if Jerry West and Magic join forces, his son is afraid that no one will be able to suppress these two, so this makes the Lakers owner a little very unhappy.
With the IQ of Jerry West and Magic Johnson, how could they not know what Jeribas was thinking at this time, so Magic Johnson originally wanted to explain something, but in the end he simply didn't explain. Instead, he looked at Lin Han on the court with a resentful face.
At this time, it was naturally impossible for Lin Han to know the magician's resentment against him, because at the end of the half. George Lynch, Linhan's old rival in the Chicago training camp, almost clashed with Linhan when he was off the court when he was off the court at this time.
Lin Han is now confronting George Lynch, a peer who hates him to the core, and because of the confrontation between Lin Han and George Lynch, although George Lynch is not very popular with the Lakers because of Van Exel, but he is a Lakers player after all, and other Lakers players naturally cannot sit idly by, except for Van Axel and Harvey, two of Linhan's friends, who stand behind the Lakers team, other Lakers players still stand in front of the Jazz players and confront each other on the sidelines, and after this incident appeared, This made the already crazy Jazz fans boo, and for a while, the Lakers players did not look very good at this time.
"Boy, don't look at me with that kind of look, you have the ability to attack me directly on the court, if the eyes can kill, I'm afraid I've already died I don't know how many times, you coward"
At this time, George Lynch was in a very bad mood, that's for sure, so when Lin Han went off the court with him, the way the young Lakers player looked at Lin Han made Lin Han very unhappy, so Lin Han also directly opened his mocking mouth and mocking face, with Lin Han's mocking kung fu, George Lynch was his opponent, and the Lakers' rookie was directly angered by Lin Han.
It's just that in the face of Lin Han's disdain for him, the Lakers rookie really didn't know what to say for a while, just like Lin Han said, he couldn't do anything except that his eyes could kill Lin Han, which made the Lakers' young player extremely frustrated now.
"Boy, that's a bit too heavy, isn't it?"
Looking at George Lynch, who was completely suppressed by Lin Han, at this time, as the only leader of the Lakers, James Worthy couldn't stand it anymore, but after Worthy interjected, Lin Han showed a playful smile on his face again after a faint glance at the legendary forward of the Lakers.
"OK, I didn't think about what to do with this coward, we weren't originally from the same world"
After Lin Han finished speaking, he turned around and left directly, and at this time, George Lynch, who had been echoing Lin Han's words in his mind, his eyes were almost bloodshot at this time, and his fists were clenched tightly, if he could, he really wanted to kill Lin Han on the court, but just like Lin Han said, he really couldn't do it, he really didn't have the courage to do the consequences of abolishing Lin Han, because as long as he really did this, the Lakers would not have a place for him, and the league would not have a place for him.
"George, take it easy"
At this time, James Worthy looked at the young rookie of the team and sighed and patted him on the shoulder, and at this time, George Lynch was also relieved after hearing James Worthy's words, but his eyes were red.
"I'm such a coward, I'm such a coward"
At this time, in the bottom of George Lynch's heart, such a sentence has always echoed.
There is almost no doubt that the game between the Jazz and the Lakers was out of suspense after the end of the first half, and no one would believe that the Lakers would be able to recover a margin of more than 2o points in the second half, and no one would believe that the Lakers would be able to pull off a miracle in the end.
In this case, by the end of the half, many media reporters had already started writing press releases, and many Jazz fans in the audience were already celebrating their team's 7o win by this time.
Of course, although the suspense of this game has been lost after halftime, but after all, the game is not over, for the Jazz players, although most of them are happy at this time, but also know the fact that there is still half a game to play.
So after the start of the second half of the game, when the suspense of the outcome was lost, when the Jazz players chased after the Lakers again in the crazy cheers of all the Jazz fans on the scene, some people had no luck at the end.
And when the game ended, when the final whistle sounded, all the spectators in the audience, including the president of the league, David Stern, and the league celebrities, Lakers celebrities, Jazz celebrities and the owners of both teams on the sidelines, and even all the reporters and commentators from all over the world stood up to applaud the game, and when the Jazz team applauded, everyone knew that a crazy record in the NBA was broken.
129-93, the Jazz defeated the Lakers at home and won the 7O victory of the season, and the 7O record made the Jazz the team with the best regular season record in NBA history!
After this team has created a miracle of 37 consecutive wins this season, it has created another miracle!
"7o 1o loss, 7o 1o loss, congratulations to the Jazz, they deserve this honor this year, it's a very great team, they have a very great group of players"
When the ribbons and confetti floated over the Delta Center after the game, Collins and Larry Bird, the two ABC commentators on the sidelines, were also applauding wildly.
For the Jazz, they created a miracle, and the same is true for the entire NBA, but for Larry Bird, at this time, the Celtics legend has never left Lin Han after the game, if he is now the general manager of the Celtics, I am afraid that at this time he will go directly to poach people.
And like Larry Bird, there is also Lakers general manager Jerry West, if it weren't for the fact that the face of the Lakers boss Old Buss next to him at this time was not so good-looking, the Lakers general manager would probably have thrown away all his reserve. (To be continued!)
