Chapter 239: Playoff Scoring Record?
(Three chapters will be updated in three chapters today, this is the first chapter!) )
"Old Nelson is not ready to help defend Lin Han in this game?"
This game between the Jazz and the Warriors, the tactical strategy used by the Warriors in this game is very surprising, in the face of the league's new scoring champion, now the league's strongest scoring player, this team is actually ready to defend one defense from the beginning to the end, if Lin Han does not feel good when he comes up, the Warriors do not have many problems with one defense and one defense, if the Warriors are not able to prevent Lin Han under such a defensive strategy, but the team is leading in the score, There is also no problem with this kind of defense, but it is clear that when the players on both sides returned to the court again in the second quarter and the game started again, Lin Han's defensive offense in the face of Sprewell was still very efficient, and the Jazz were also leading in the score. +
So this made Collins, the former head coach of the Bulls, very surprised, as the head coach of Jordan and the Bulls back then, he knew very well that if he had encountered this situation, he would have made a change in tactics a long time ago, after all, the team was behind, and the player with the strongest score on the other side had an amazing scoring efficiency at this time, and if he was indifferent in this way, the final result was likely to be very tragic.
Of course, the Warriors are not so tragic at this time, although the team is behind, but the margin of the deficit is not very large.
At this time, Collins couldn't see what the old Nelson, the madman, wanted to play, and Larry Bird on the other side didn't quite see what kind of tricks the old guy was playing. For Larry Bird, his basketball knowledge has been improving since he became a commentator. Especially in many cases, he is not weak compared to some NBA coaches, such as the former head coach of the Bulls next to him is not as good as him now, but for the madman of old Nelson, he really can't understand it at all, and a lot of common sense things are not effective in him at all!
Not to mention that Larry Bird and Collins were confused by Nelson Sr. at this time, the same was true of the Jazz players on the court and the head coach of the Jazz on the sidelines, Jerry Sloan.
It's just that although I can't figure out what the Warriors mean by pinching Marron so frantically to release Lin Han and Stockton, it's just for Lin Han and Jazz. Since the opponent really let go, it can't help but attack, so at this time, the second quarter of the game between the Jazz and the Warriors is still extremely lively.
Sprewell's defense is really outstanding. The Warriors' perimeter is extremely physical, has a good sense of defense, and more importantly, it is willing to defend Lin Han, and its will to beat Lin Han is also very strong. In the NBA. In this case, when defending, it is no longer more important for these talented players to defend their skills or anything, after all, the all-round genius is actually not bad, and whether you can defend well is more of an attitude problem.
And Sprewell couldn't have an attitude problem in this game, so Lin Han's defense was really pinched very, very dead. If it were an average star defender, a quasi-superstar like Richmond would be miserable on the offensive end of the game against a defense like Sprewell. Although Lin Han is a level higher than Richmond, especially on the offensive end, it is really more than one level higher, even so, Lin Han is a success most of the time when he faces Sprewell one-on-one, but he is very entangled or struggled every time.
Therefore, although the Warriors are putting Lin Han, but in fact, the pressure on Lin Han is also quite large, after all, Sprewell really gave up most of his offense in this game to concentrate on defending Lin Han, of course, Lin Han also gave up most of his defense in this game, after all, Sprewell and the Warriors did not give him the intention to participate in the Jazz defense at all, which allowed Lin Han to maintain the winning rate against Sprewell for a long time, if Lin Han had to be too distracted on the defensive end, I'm afraid that on the offensive end, even in the face of Sprewell's single defense, although Lin Han's single efficiency will be very high, it will definitely not be as high as this.
"This guy is really tough."
When Lin Han received Stockton's pass on the right side of the free throw line extension line, he leaned sideways against Sprewell one-on-one, at this time Lin Han could clearly feel that Sprewell's concentration at this time, the center of gravity was pressed very low, and almost all the strength of the whole body was on Lin Han's waist, which was a very good defensive action, which not only made it difficult for Lin Han to fully use the strength of the lower body when he broke through, but also because the waist was pressed against the strength of the upper body and the strength of the lower body was difficult to coordinate. So even if Lin Han forces up to shoot or force a breakthrough, there will be a sense of stagnation, this sense of stagnation without rhythm is a taboo for the result, many general defensive players also know the importance of resisting the opponent's waist when defending, but there are few who can do as well as Sprewell.
Therefore, although I don't know how many times he has directly defeated Spreville one-on-one, at this time Lin Han still has a feeling that he has not completely defeated the other party, because the other party does not have any sense of loss in fighting spirit at all, but after being defeated by himself, the fighting spirit is getting stronger and stronger, which also makes Lin Han a little helpless, which is completely different from the feeling of facing Terry Porter of the Trail Blazers in the last round of the series.
Of course, although Sprewell's one-on-one defense is fierce and resolute, Lin Han is still full of confidence in his individual attack, although it will take more energy, but as long as Lin Han is given enough time to attack, he can still get rid of this guy as usual.
And this time in the face of Sprewell's top defense, Lin Han faced Sprewell sideways with the ball in one hand. After leaning on Sprewell a little twice, and seeing that this guy's center of gravity was indeed very stable, Lin Han directly turned around and dribbled to the right side to get rid of Sprewell's top waist. And Sprewell, who had already been prepared, naturally could not be get rid of Lin Han so easily, this defensive player with excellent flexibility and extreme resilience quickly wrapped Lin Han up again from the side, and at this time, Lin Han, who also didn't think about getting rid of Spreville with a single move, immediately followed by a retreat after half turning, and then when Sprewell was still moving defensively, Lin Han, who had already stepped back, changed direction from the two Deron Williams's crotches again, once again deceived the crazy Préwell, and then took a strong step to the left to the position a little lower than the free throw line, and directly pulled it up to a mid-range pull-up jumper, and this time the unguarded mid-range pull-up jump shot still hit.
At this time, when Sprewell, who had already jumped up, saw Lin Han break through his defense again, and the Warriors guard's face became even more ugly. Although the head coach on the sidelines, Nelson Sr., has been applauding and signaling that his defense is good, he doesn't have any good feelings now!
With Lin Han's offensive ability, he can actually attack without getting rid of Sprewell like this. But in the face of the Warriors, a team with strong scoring ability, Lin Han really didn't dare to mess around.
If you face the Spurs or the Bulls, even the Knicks, Lin Han dares to directly throw three points in the face of the defender, but the Warriors are different from the Spurs or the Bulls. This team is really strong in attack. The Jazz really can't prevent this team, Malone was almost reversed by the Warriors after throwing two in the last quarter, and then even Malone didn't dare to mess around, in the face of the Warriors' frenzied defense, he can only appoint, if Lin Han really dares to throw around, even if the three-point shooting rate reaches more than 4o%, he may not be able to lead the Warriors in the score, not to mention that 4o% even if it is a 5o% success rate, so Lin Han has been looking for an absolute offensive opportunity. As long as there is no absolute opportunity to attack, Lin Han will not dare to mess around.
So this is indeed a great consumption for Lin Han. It's not too difficult to get Sprewell out of it, but it's really hard to get rid of Sprewell.
In this case, the Jazz's offense in this game was actually quite slow, although the advance was fast, but the pace of the offense was not fast, but rather stagnant, because Lin Han's ball was held for a little too long.
So when the second quarter of this game ended, although the Jazz still maintained the lead in the score with a very good single efficiency, the lead was not very obvious, 6o to 55, the Jazz led the Warriors by 5 points after halftime, with the offensive efficiency of the Warriors coming to the playoffs, 55 points in the half was actually very low, not just because Sprewell basically didn't contribute much on the offensive end, What's more, because he deliberately gave Lin Han a chance to play singles, the pace of the game slowed down a little.
Of course, it is not easy to be able to score 33 points in 2o shooting 13 at the end of the half, and still only 5 points behind, if other teams let Lin Han score 33 points in the half, I am afraid that this time would have been spent a long time ago.
I have to say that the offensive ability of the Warriors is indeed strong enough, so the old Nelson dared to play this kind of strategy of pinching Malone and letting Lin Han go, of course, another point is that the old Nelson himself did not expect that Lin Han would be able to maintain such a high offensive efficiency in the face of a defense like Sprewell.
"This kid is really different, I thought he was a player who could attack and ignore it, but now it seems that I underestimated him"
When the Warriors came down from the court with a five-point deficit at halftime, the old Nelson looked at the young Jazz No. 8 next to the Jazz Big Three, who was not so good-looking, and also muttered to himself.
You know, although his strategy in this game is to let Lin Han play alone for a long time, but in the old Nelson's plan, his team should not fall behind so much in the half, judging from the current half, the reason why the Warriors are so far behind is obviously that there were some surprises at Lin Han's point.
This offensive maniac and shooting maniac had a more reasonable offense in this game than he imagined, and rarely really took strong shots from defenders. In the face of Sprewell's defense, Lin Han certainly can't break through or get rid of success every time, and some shots are indeed strong shots. But the proportion is not large, which is a bit surprising to the old Nelson.
According to Nelson Sr.'s design, Lin Han's 25 shots at halftime in this game is a relatively normal number, and 25 hits at most about 12 times, and the final result is that Lin Han 'only' made 2o shots, and the average line given by Nelson Sr.
However, although Lin Han's expression was out of his expectations. But Nelson Sr. was still very satisfied with this half, and it was not out of his control.
So, when it comes to forcing the Warriors players off the court. The head coach of the Warriors is also quite happy.
However, if Lin Han knew what Nelson Sr. was thinking at this time, and the quota of 25 half-court shots designed by Nelson Sr. for him, Lin Han's anger towards Nelson Sr. would be even stronger.
Of course. Even if I don't know what old Nelson is thinking at this time. Lin Han and the three leading players of the Jazz team are also very unhappy with the old Nelson, and there are probably not many people who can make the Jazz lead so unhappy at the end of the half, and the old Nelson did it in this game.
“fvnetbsp; When the Jazz players returned to the locker room, as the big boss of the team, Malone directly took off his coat and smashed it into his seat, while Lin Han and Stockton on the side also shook their heads helplessly after looking at each other.
This new MVP is really suffocating in this game, you know. The reason why Malone rushed to hold the MVP speech yesterday instead of waiting until after the playoffs are over. This guy is just going to 'pretend' to do that in this game, and if he scores 4o or 5o points in the playoffs the day after the MVP speech, what a beautiful story?
It can be said that for this game, Malone was really well prepared, but who knows, this game 'pretended' was not pretended to be 'pretended to be' in the end Silly B', for a new section MVP, in a game after the MVP speech, only scored 6 points at halftime, how miserable is this, if it is the regular season, especially in the second half of the regular season and Lin Han brushed the number of jù, Malone will definitely not be so honest in this game, even if the team loses, he has to face several people to defend and force a high score, in fact, he did not do this in this game, he forcibly brushed twice in the first quarter, but in the end the brush failed, and when the team's lead was almost buried, this new MVP was honest。
Obviously, he is no longer an ordinary superstar, he is now an MVP, and it is too embarrassing for an MVP to do the kind of thing that forcibly brushes points regardless of the team's victory or defeat, even Jordan after getting the MVP, after facing the voice of others saying that he is a tumor in the score, this very arrogant god honestly brushed a season's triple-double, and finally brushed an average of 32+8+8 per game, the current Malone is similar to Jordan at that time, but at this time as an insider, He's worse than Jordan back then.
Therefore, in Ma Long's view, the old Nelson, an old guy who made him so much in a game he wanted to pretend to be forced, made it clear that he wanted to dismantle his stage, which is not to give him face, although usually Malone is like a child, it is a joke, but most of the superstars in the Malone Alliance are very good-looking, and even Malone loves face more than many people, and now the old Nelson has made it clear that he has no face, and he can bear it.
It's just that at this time, Malone also knows that he can't bear it and can't do it, the old Nelson just doesn't give him a chance to attack, or pinched him like crazy, so now there is such a scene in the Jazz locker room, and Malone drops his coat when he goes back to the locker room directly.
Of course, at this time, the rest of the Jazz team also knew that Malone was now being played very badly by the old Nelson, so everyone didn't pay much attention to Malone's shirt dropping, and even the team's head coach Jerry Sloan didn't care too much at this time.
In fact, the head coach of the Jazz team is still hesitating, Malone's current situation is indeed a little difficult, and it is not impossible to solve this dilemma, the reason why the Warriors dare to hit Malone so crazy is not to bully the Jazz The other interior line has no offensive ability, and the Jazz's No. 3 position has no offensive ability on the offensive end except for three points. The Warriors don't even care about Linham's three-point shot, let alone Russell's three-point threat?
In this case, just replace Russell with Elliott, who can attack with the ball. Replacing PJ Brown with a cameo 'level shorty' interior line like Lin Han, the Warriors will never dare to be so crazy to flank Malone.
If you just do that, will the Jazz's defense against the Warriors collapse? And wouldn't it be even more tragic if Elliott was still as bad as he was before after he was on the list? More importantly, now that the team is leading in the score, is there any need for the team to make a risky move to liberate Malone? Is it necessary to do uncertain things for the sake of Malone's face?
These are all things that Jerry Sloan needs to think about right now, so sometimes it's not a good thing to be too cautious. Thinking too much about it, it's easy to drive yourself crazy.
"Everybody's performance in the first half was very good, and I hope to keep it that way in the second half."
After thinking about it for a while, face the Jazz players who have already sat down in their respective positions at this time. Jerry Sloan also said with a calm face, and after Jerry Sloan finished speaking, the Jazz players were all stunned, and then subconsciously looked at Malone. At this time, Ma Long's face became even more ugly.
Although the Jazz players are not as good as Stockton in terms of IQ, there are not many people who are more stupid than Malone, how can Malone's 'realistic' 'acting' in the locker room be just to vent his anger, it is obvious that this is not only to express his anger to Nelson Sr., but more importantly, to express his displeasure to his teammates and head coach, especially to head coach Jerry Sloan, but because the team is now ahead, as the team's big boss. Xinke MVP, Ma Long is not good to sue Sloan directly. I'm not happy with the game right now, and in the second half you have to change my tactics for me, so that's why I made such an eye-catching drama.
Who knew that Jerry Sloan directly ignored Malone's 'acting skills' after thinking about it for a while, and seeing Malone's constipated expression, many players of the Jazz team almost laughed, in fact, Lin Han had lowered his head and covered his mouth and laughed after glancing at Malone, although the laughter was not loud, but everyone in the Jazz locker room heard it, of course, Malone also heard it, but the big boss of the Jazz team was really embarrassed at this time, he didn't expect that he had thought about it on the court for a long time. The brilliant 'strategy' was actually seen through by Lin Han's tease, it seems that not only Lin Han has seen through it, but even the other players of the Jazz team have seen it, which makes the team boss have a plan to dig a hole and bury himself, which is too embarrassing.
Of course, at this time, the atmosphere in the Jazz locker room became lively because of Malone and Lin Han, and Jerry Sloan shook his head helplessly and continued after looking at Malone and Lin Han.
"Lin, you attacked very well in the first half, but you need to be a little more cautious on the offensive end"
After Jerry Sloan finished speaking, Lin Han, who was still laughing at Malone, changed his face a little at this time, according to Sloan's meaning, his offense in the first half was still a little irrational, you know, in the face of Sprewell's defense, his offense is already very rational, if he is not rational, let alone 2o shots, he can also shoot 30 times, facing a player like Sprewell to make every attack an absolute opportunity, which is somewhat difficult.
However, thinking that Jerry Sloan is not ready to change tactics in the second half, which means that Malone will not be liberated, and the Jazz want to be able to guarantee their victory, under the Warriors' perhaps more crazy offense, Lin Han's offensive efficiency does need to continue to improve a little, which will be more secure.
When he thought of this, although he was a little dissatisfied, Lin Han still nodded in acceptance.
When the game ended at halftime, the Jazz side was arranging the second half of the game, and the Warriors were the same, but compared with the Jazz, the Warriors' locker room was not so harmonious.
"From the third quarter we had to continue to play with the strategy of the first half, even though we were still behind. But the winner of this game must be us, as long as we can hold on until the fourth quarter, the winner of this game must be us! ”
"Victory! Victory! Victory! ”
Although it is said that the half game is still behind. But in addition to a few secondary and second teenagers in the team, the prestige of the old Nelson is indeed very high, and the players do believe in many of the old Nelson's tactical arrangements, and they also believe that the old Nelson's tactical arrangements can make them win this game.
"It seems that neither team made any personnel changes in the second half"
"That's because both teams were very happy with the first half, which is very rare"
Larry Bird said with a smile as he watched the players of both teams stand on the court again.
And when the two sides returned to the pitch at half-time, the lineups on both sides did not change, in this case. The Warriors still insisted on a fast-advancing team run-and-bomb style of play, while the Jazz still relied on the offense of Lynham and Stockton plus the offense of the other two Jazz role players. As for Malone, the new MVP is still surrounded by the Warriors and has almost no offensive opportunities.
"Avery Johnson cut to the basket and received a pass from Malone and was ready to go to the basket, right?! Avery Johnson jumped up and faced Malone's block and passed the ball to Chris Mullin. Chris Mullin shot. Very beautiful mid-range shooting, it looks like Mullin is making a good comeback in the playoffs, averaging 25 points per game in the first round of the series against the Spurs, shooting over 5% from three-point range and over 5% from two-point range, and it looks like he's not only fit but also back in top shape."
The Warriors' style of play, in which everyone can attack with the ball and pass the ball, is indeed very damaging to the Jazz who don't have much ability to help defend inside, even if the Spurs have an assistant defender like David Robinson on the inside, their offense has not been hindered too much. For a team like the Warriors, where collective passing and movement are almost integrated into the bone marrow, ordinary co-defense methods basically don't do much.
No doubt. The Warriors are one of the NBA's undefensible teams, otherwise the team wouldn't have averaged more than 115 points per game in the regular season for three consecutive seasons, and even averaged nearly 12o points per game in one season.
Of course, the Warriors' offense is basically undefensible for the Jazz, and of course, for the Warriors, Linhan's individual offense is also basically undefendable, and without anyone's help Sprewell After the start of the third quarter, the guy who shouted before the game to let the world know that he was great continued to be destroyed by Linhan.
Although Lin Han's offense was also very uncomfortable, but when the third quarter ended, Lin Han's score was still over 45 points, in the third quarter Lin Han scored 15 points in 6 of 1o shots, and Lin Han's score in the third quarter has come to 48 points, and in the first three quarters Lin Han made a total of 3o shots, 3o shots of 19, and scored 48 points!
When the third quarter ended, when the DJ on the scene was distributing such a number to the fans in the audience, the Jazz fans on the scene were in an uproar again, and it was obvious that Lin Han was likely to set a record of 5O points in the playoffs in this game!
You know, even if Malone is very powerful, the Jazz team's big boss has never scored 5o points in the playoffs, and even the number of Jù madman Chamberlain, the number of 5o points in the playoffs is only 4 times, and Jordan is now the player with the most 5O+ in the NBA playoffs, a total of 7 times.
And Lin Han now has 48 points in the third quarter, and it is almost a foregone conclusion to score 5o points in this game, and it is even possible to break Jordan's record for the highest score of 63 points in the playoffs!
So although at the end of the third quarter, although the Jazz's lead changed from 5 points to 3 points, and the margin was narrowing, Jazz fans were still extremely crazy.
"Larry, it seems that Lin Han may really break the record for the highest score in the playoffs in this game!"
When Lin Han came off the court at the end of the third quarter to meet the cheers of the fans, Collins on the sidelines also said excitedly, and after Collins finished speaking, Larry Bird also smiled and nodded.
He really hopes that Lin Han can break Jordan's record, because Jordan's record was won in front of him and in front of his team, although Jordan lost that round of the series.
Of course, at this time, the fans on the sidelines were crazy about Lin Han's upcoming first playoff game with 5o points, and even excited because of the possibility of witnessing another 6o points in the playoffs, but the old Nelson on the sidelines was still smiling after hearing Lin Han score 48 points in 3O shooting in the third quarter, although he was slightly surprised for a while, especially when he saw Lin Han sitting on the bench and putting a towel on his head and panting loudly, the head coach of the Warriors was quite satisfied at this time.
"Although this little guy's offensive ability is indeed beyond my expectations, Yiqiē is still under control, and from 2o points in the first quarter to 13 points in the second quarter to 15 points in the third quarter, this kid's offensive efficiency is still starting to decline."
And when he looked at Malone on the side a little, the smile of old Nelson was even happier.
Of course, at this time, while Nelson Sr. was observing the Jazz locker room, the Warriors and Jazz bench players were still fighting on the court at this time, and when the clock came to 9 minutes or more, after the first official timeout, when both sides had replaced their entire players and prepared for the fourth quarter showdown.
At this time, the old Nelson, who was almost sitting in his place in the audience, actually stood up.
"The Warriors game starts now!" (To be continued!)
