"Clyde, are you really going to defend Lin Han in this game?"

On the afternoon of May 28, 1994, in the visiting locker room of the Delta Center Arena in Utah, the whole Rockets team has now gathered in the locker room, preparing for the afternoon acclimatization training, but when it is more surprising, the situation in the Rockets locker room at this time is completely different from what many people imagined.

Recently, many players of the Rockets have been very active, especially the Rockets' leading outside player Drexler, the league's level guard's 'unique player' theory still has a very big impact, and most of the impact is that this team is too arrogant now, even the Jazz side thinks so, this team has not started the game has not yet started, and it is true that no one in this way will make many people feel good.

In this case, even many pro-Rockets media are saying that this team is too impetuous, but from the current situation in the Rockets' locker room, at this time, almost all of these players are sinking like water, and none of them have arrogance on their faces, but many Rockets players can see a trace of caution or vigilance on their faces.

"If I don't go up in person, will anyone in the team be able to defend Lin Han?".

Finally, after Drexler finished speaking. Olajuwon and Tomjanovich also sighed, and Maxwell and Robert Hawley on the side even lowered their heads in shame.

With a deterrent interior player like Olajuwon, the Rockets' defensive outside mission is hardly that difficult. As long as the outside players can keep up with the degree and cover the opponent in height, they only need to block the opponent's peripheral shots, and as for the opponent's breakthrough, there is no need to worry too much about it, because the team has a completely trustworthy defensive player like Olajuwon to back them up.

So most of the superstars in the league, even Jordan has been playing hard against the Rockets. I didn't even dare to hit the basket, you must know that Jordan's breakthrough and finishing ability under the basket are also absolutely top-notch, but it's obvious. Although these outside players of the Rockets can limit Jordan's outside shooting very well, or Jordan's outside shooting and offense do not need to be limited by them, it is also up to the sky, so when facing Jordan or most of the league's outside players, this group of outside players of the Rockets is actually very easy on the defensive end.

Only Lin Han. This guy is an outlier. There is no outside player in the league who has the same outside lethality as him, the Warriors are not afraid of Lin Han throwing three points at a long distance or from a long distance because Lin Han's three-point shooting efficiency is high, so the old Nelson of the Warriors even let Lin Han go to a limited extent, but the Rockets can't, although this team's offense is not bad, but it is true with the Warriors. There is no comparison, even if Lin Han's outside offensive efficiency does not look very high. They can't be as indifferent as the Warriors, because it's true that Lin Han's perimeter offensive efficiency can't beat the Warriors, but it may kill the Rockets.

Therefore, the defense of Lin Han in this round of the series has become the top priority, Maxwell can keep up, but he is too short, and he is shadowed by Lin Han, as for Robert Hawley, the height is enough to cover Lin Han, but the degree is too slow, as long as Lin Han holds the ball and pulls out three or four steps outside the three points, he can pass Robert Hawley and then he can throw three points directly.

In this case, although the thickness of the Rockets' lineup is really good, there are still a lot of problems when this team faces Linhan, although Tomjanovic is a little worried about whether Drexler can go all out on the offensive end after defending Linhan, but I have to say that Drexler is indeed the best weapon that the Rockets use to deal with Linhan.

Because the player who broke through the league with the nickname of glider was not very good in defense, but he was very strong, his strength was enough, and the height was also enough, the Rockets didn't need him to help defend and didn't need him to have a good defensive position, as long as he could keep up with Lin Han, and Drexler's off-ball running was one of the strongest in the league.

"Don't worry, my physical fitness is no problem at all now, even if it doesn't have any problems with Fang Linhan."

Facing the worried eyes of his teammates and coaches, Drexler said with a calm face, he rested in the regular season, and his physical fitness was indeed extremely abundant, at least much better than Olajuwon, and this series is a series for the team to either win or go home, and there is no need to leave much physical fitness to use in the finals, because now the strongest opponent in the league is standing in front of them.

Although they continue to ridicule the Jazz in the media, they keep expressing their arrogance, and this is definitely not their real idea, they just want the younger Jazz and the more impulsive Jazz to do something unreasonable, just like the last time the two teams met, Lin Han and Malone lost their cool for some reason, and the Rockets won with almost no effort, although Lin Han and Malone are very strong, But neither of these two is very mature players.

Of course, Drexler hasn't been very mature before, but in this year's playoffs, especially after being blocked by the Nuggets and Mutombo in the second round, the former Trail Blazers star is much more mature now.

At least when talking about Lin Han, although there will still be fluctuations, he can already control his feelings very well.

The Rockets are the Jazz's biggest rival, so on game day. When the Jazz practiced in the morning, the whole team was doing the final touches on the Rockets, and it was the same in the Rockets' opinion. Although they continue to despise the Jazz on the outside, this team is also the strongest opponent they have always considered, and if it weren't for the Jazz, they wouldn't have brought Drexler in, and both teams are extremely clear about this.

"Well, since Clyde is willing to take on more defensive responsibilities, then we have to win the first game in this game. Against the Jazz, we can't afford to be in the same situation as the Suns and Nuggets again, and if we come up in this series and give away match points. Then you can't chase it back, do you understand? ”。

"Understood!"

In the end, when Tomjanovic saw the fighting momentum on the faces of the players of the Rockets, he also nodded slightly.

Before the start of this season. Tomjanovic never imagined that his team would meet the Jazz in the playoffs. He didn't make a special arrangement of the tactics of the opponent Malone, and he did not arrange the tactics against Stockton, but he was so afraid of a rookie player, which was indeed a very incredible thing for him.

"No matter how strong you are, we will win this game, and we must win this series!"

The Rockets were calculating the Jazz and Lynham when their team was doing pregame acclimatization, and the Jazz on the other side were similar.

With two hours left before the game, the Jazz players were also in the locker room. As the team's head coach, Jerry Sloan is also calculating the Rockets with his teammates. Of course, unlike the uncertainty of how to deal with Lin Han as a whole team of the Rockets, the whole team of the Jazz is thinking about how to deal with Olajuwon, and this big guy is indeed a bit of a deterrent to the Jazz.

"Alden, we're not going to cover Olajuwon in this game, you need to be mentally prepared to play Olajuwon one-on-one, understand?".

"Understood!"

"Also, Karl, no matter what, no matter what this game is, you have to move when you're defending, and you have to move, whether it's a big man or a small guy who is playing against you, you need to be ready to stick it up when you're defending, and today you're going to be defending all areas within the three-point line."

"Lin, Drexler is up to you, what you have to do is try not to let Alden face the attacks of Olajuwon and Drexler, can you do it!"

In the Jazz locker room, Jerry Sloan's face was also very strict at this time, and after getting Jerry Sloan's instructions, Lin Han glanced at Polinis, who was going to face Olajuwon one-on-one not far away, and Lin Han also nodded seriously.

Knowing that no one on the team could defend Olajuwon one-on-one, Jerry Sloan still chose to defend the Rockets in the half court this game, which really surprised all the players up and down the Jazz.

With Jerry Slon's conservative character, if it was in the past, even if he was thrown to death by the Rockets' group of shooters on the outside, he would not let Olajuwon go, after all, Jerry Sloan's former Jazz team averaged only five or six three-point shots per game in a season, and he was a traditional coach who didn't believe in outside offense, but now, Jerry Sloan actually made the decision to let Olajuwon go in this game and choke the other outside of the Rockets.

Although such a decision may not necessarily be able to achieve the best results in this game, but the Jazz players are still very relieved after getting the tactical arrangement of this game, and are pleased that the head coach of their team finally no longer holds his previous very stubborn single basketball, for NBA players, although it will be simpler in a single mode team, but everyone knows that if a team comes to the playoffs, it is impossible to go to the highest throne without flexibility, Unless the single mode of this team has reached the extreme and can crush the opponent, such a team does have, such as the Lakers who played time before, they are crazy offense, as for defense, as long as it is above the baseline, and the tactics have not changed much, every game is like that, other teams know that they can't win, similarly, the Bulls, who have won three consecutive championships in the past three years, regardless of whether the triangle offense that Phil Jackson keeps saying is a pure triangle offense, But he did push Jordan's singles efficiency to the extreme, and other teams knew that the Bulls were playing the same way, and they couldn't win.

The kind of team realm that the Bulls and Lakers were back then. Naturally, there is no Jazz now, not to mention that Jazz does not have it now, even the Rockets do not have it. So the head coaches of the two teams can't just sit on the sidelines and watch every game like Phil Jackson, which is called calm.

So Jerry Sloan is willing to try some changes in order to win in this series, whether it is successful or not, the Jazz players are very supportive, although for Lin Han, the Jazz's tactical play is very demanding of him.

After all, Lin Han's opposite player was injured for half a season. Drexler, who has almost recovered, such a player, even if Jordan beat him back then, it was not from the defensive end but from the offensive end, and Lin Han was also able to beat him on the offensive end. But it's clear that this series won't be enough to beat him on the offensive end.

However, Lin Han would not be surprised if he knew at this time that Drexler would also be completely opposite him on both offensive and defensive ends in this game.

"The Rockets and Jazz are by far the two teams with the most championship potential in the entire playoff table. This round of the series is seen by many as an early grand final. Whoever can win this round of the series will be able to win the championship in the end, so whether it is the Rockets or the Jazz team in this round of the series, they will definitely go all out, and even the two teams will definitely spend more energy in this game than in the Finals! ”

At six o'clock in the evening on May 28, 1994, as the Abnetba tournament and one of the most important matches of the season, the ratings of this match in the United States were expected to have a good chance of setting a record for the Zàonba Division Finals, so. For this round of matchup between the Jazz and the Rockets, it is naturally impossible for ABC not to pay attention to it.

In fact. When the NBA game enters the playoffs, almost every day the ABC live broadcast will make a special feature in advance, including a review of the previous day's game and an outlook for today's game.

But like today's game, I have been focusing on the various pre-game tidbits of this game since 12 noon, the interviews and conversations between the players on both sides, and the various forced battles of some experts and celebrities, which is also very tough, because most of the live broadcasts of NBA games do not need such a long foreshadowing, nor do they have so much material to pave for such a long time.

Even in the first game between the Knicks and the Pacers yesterday, the two teams have a lot of grievances, but the ABC can't find anything to pave the way for, so this Eastern Conference Finals is just a very ordinary live broadcast arrangement, and the Jazz and the Rockets are really completely different.

With the grievances between these two teams this season, and the grievances between the two teams, ABC can do even a full day of special topics, and these materials are not the same.

"Before the start of this game, Drexler said in an interview that although Linhan is very good, he is just an ordinary NBA star player, he has no ability to change the situation in the NBA playoffs, and there is no way to change the situation of a series like Olajuwon, this statement caused a very big sensation, Adrian, I don't think you will agree with such a statement, right?".

"That's right, Clyde's statement is too much ego, Olajuwon is not as strong as he said, Lin Han is not as weak as he said, as for Jordan, although he hasn't played for more than a year, I don't think he has lost his unique characteristics, I will support Lin Han, he is a player who can change the situation in the playoffs, just like Jordan said, Lin Han is the most talented young man I have ever seen, even more talented than Jordan back then"

"No, I don't agree with Adrian, Clyde is right, Jordan is not sure if he will be that kind of dominance when he returns, and Linham has never proven that he has the same dominance as a man against a strong team, when he wins against a strong team, he has Malone and Stockton standing next to him, he is not a real superstar, he has limited impact on the playoffs"

"Willis, you are stealing the concept, the Jazz team is a whole, no one can play the opponent's five players alone, if that's the case, I think when you were in the Knicks, you couldn't prove that you could win the championship by yourself, this is not only an insult to Lin Han, but also an insult to yourself, some people have said before that Lin Han can't win the game with the team alone. In the end, Lin Han proved that he could lead the team to win alone, so they shut up, and now Willis. Are you preparing to ask Lin Han for promotion? I don't think the first playoff 5x5 player in NBA history and the youngest playoff 6o player is an average player who lacks influence in the playoffs, remember, he's not the Nets' Nick Anderson, he's proven to be better in the playoffs than in the regular season."

"No, that doesn't mean anything, I know you're going to say I'm quibbling, but it doesn't matter if it's the Trail Blazers or the Warriors. Jordan's 60 points were against the Celtics, and Elgin Baylor was in the Finals. Lin Han's 6o points can't be compared to them at all, maybe he won't be able to score 6o points on the stage of the finals in his life, and he may not even have a point."

"Hi man. You're not talking about this game anymore. Can I say it's a personal attack, you Bichi from New York! ”

At this time, in the ABC studio, the players of the Rockets and the Jazz have already appeared, and as guests in the studio, the Jazz's famous Dantley and the New York Knicks' famous Willis Reed are about to fight again at this time.

It's not the first time the two have performed in the studio, Willis Reid is one of the league's biggest Lin Hei, and singles king Dantley is one of the league's biggest Lin Mi, in this case. It's no wonder that these two don't fight, and almost every conversation between the two is very gunpowdery. But I don't know what NBA fans think at this time, the popularity of these two legendary players in ABNETBA has skyrocketed directly, and the direction in which the popularity of the two comes from is also clear, Willis Reed has absorbed a lot of support from Lin Hei, and Dantley's supporters are fans of Lin Han, in this case, as the two representatives of Lin Hei and Lin Mi, these two have now become the two hottest player commentators in the NBA.

If the two of them staged the full martial arts ABC in the studio for the first time, they still need to take into account the influence, then at this time, the ABC festival is long gone, which can increase the ratings and enhance the topicality, and the fans don't hate the full martial arts of the two, so even if the studio becomes a boxing arena, it is okay.

However, this time, the two did not have much time to do it, because the Jazz players and the Rockets players had already played, and they also needed to pay attention to the game at this time.

"Carl, what are you doing, are you so excited?"

"I'm not excited."

"Don't you see that your legs are shaking right now?".

"Yes, why didn't I feel it?"

On May 28, 1994, the Jazz's home triangle center was already full of people at this time, and when Lin Han, Stockton and Malone played in a row, this time raised the atmosphere of the whole scene to the most ** time.

As Jazz fans, it is a very proud thing for them to see their team reach the Western Conference Finals twice in three years, after all, they also know that their team does not have as many fans as other teams, nor does it have as much money as other teams, in this case, it is not easy for the team to become the NBA's fish belly for these objective reasons, but it is a miracle that they can finally reach the Western Conference Finals twice in three years.

And what's even more miraculous is that they are even the current favorites for the championship, if they can cross the Rockets, they are the biggest favorites, and in this situation, Jazz fans who have been passionate about the Jazz this season are even more so for this game and this series.

In this case, even the long-tested Jazz team leader Ma Long was a little excited by the Jazz fans at this time, even Malone was like this, and the other Jazz players were naturally similar.

So when the Jazz players walked to the court to warm up, almost all of them had a look of excitement on their faces.

"The Jazz lineup has made another adjustment in this game, and it has changed a lot from the players they played against the Warriors in the last round."

"In this game, the Rockets are center Aldenpolinis, and power forward Malone. Small forward Bryan Russell, shooting guard Lynham and playmaking guard Stockton, it's a very defensive lineup."

"On the Rockets' side, not much has changed. Olajuwon at center, Robert Holly at power forward, Maxwell at small forward, Drexler at scoring guard, and Kenny Smith at playmaking guard

Originally, Maxwell on the Rockets' side, the Rockets' first scorer, has become an iron-clad substitute since Drexler came, especially after coming to the playoffs, but in the last round, the Nuggets continued to press the Rockets in the crazy half. This makes the ball-handling ability second only to Drexler among all the outside of the Rockets, and he has another chance to replace Mario Aly.

In this game, the Rockets were not sure what the Jazz's tactical play would be, so Maxwell, who was a little empty when he saw Lin Han, could also see that for the first game on the road, the head coach of the Rockets, Tomjanovich, was still more cautious.

"The Rockets only have Olajuwon and Drexler at the core of the game. So they don't have much room to change their formations, but from this point of view, I still can't see what the Jazz's tactical play in this game is. ”

When the players of the two teams came on the pitch, Larry Bird also frowned and said.

While the Jazz's lineup is back to being defense-oriented. It was a very correct choice. After all, the Rockets are not the Warriors, nor are they the Trail Blazers, but there are many kinds of defense, especially such a double interior, and he is not sure whether Jerry Sloan will pinch Olajuwon or press in the half like the Nuggets in this game.

If the Jazz play a single interior in this game and Malone plays center, then it is almost certain that the Jazz's tactics are to press at halftime.

Of course, at this time, Larry Bird was speculating a little about Jerry Sloan's tactical play. Rockets head coach Tomjanovic on the sidelines is similar, although there isn't much time left for the Rockets to prepare for the Western Conference Finals. But as the head coach of the most important opponent of the Jazz, Tomjanovich naturally knows that the Jazz head coach is a little different from the past, and there is no need to guess what the team wants to do when he plays against the Jazz in the past.

"No matter what you want to do, as long as we can do our own thing, we will win!"

In the end, Tomjanovic saw that the two sides had finished warming up and had stood in the designated position, when the referee Javi threw the basketball in his hand into the air, and Olajuwon beat Polynes to jump the ball successfully, the game officially began!

"Olajuwon's jump ball is very good, Polinis's jump is a little late"

When Olajuwon's jump ball without much suspense was successful, Collins on the sidelines also nodded appreciatively and said.

At this time, the basketball that Olajuwon fought for had come to Kenny Smith in the back, and the other players of the Rockets also ran forward slowly, and when all the frontcourt players of the Rockets walked through the half court, at this time, almost all Jazz fans and reporters on the scene were a little surprised.

As a Jazz power forward, Malone, who usually defends little outside the three-point line, actually pressed Hawley directly after Robert Hawley passed half time at this time, and Polinis naturally couldn't let go of Olajuwon, as for Maxwell, Russell was also standing next to him, when the Jazz sent a half-court press on his first defense.

At this time, Kenny Smith and Drexler, who were still in the backcourt as the Rockets' two guards, were all stunned at this time, especially Kenny Smith, as the Rockets' dribble guard, his responsibility is to dribble the ball across the half court, and now seeing that Stockton is already standing in the middle circle waiting for him, the Rockets' point guard thought of the 'miserable scene' in the last round and the Nuggets, and almost subconsciously put the basketball in his hand to find Drexler in front of him.

"Kenny, be careful!"

And when Kenny Smith gently pushed out the basketball in his hand, at this time, Drexler, who was about to catch the ball, almost shouted directly, and then immediately prepared to turn sideways to get stuck in the position, but what made Drexler look shocked was that Lin Han, who had just given an example of him being one step away, was not at all by his horizontal step card master, and had already appeared in front of him in a smoke, and when Lin Han grabbed Drexler, Kenny Smith's diagonal horizontal pass also arrived!

It's just that at this time, Collins, who was still praising Olajuwon's excellent jump ball, has not yet come out of the afterglow just now, and at this time, Lin Han completed this steal to complete the first score of the two teams in this game!

At this time, after completing the dunk, Lin Han got off the basket in the almost overwhelming cheers of the fans and put his right index finger in front of his mouth in the direction of Drexler, when the Jazz fans at the scene saw this picture from the big screen, they became even more crazy.

"Hahaha, that's it, Lin, the robbery is beautiful, who made the Rockets players have such a stinky mouth, it's so cool, it's so cool!"

"Hahaha, it's so cool, it's even cooler if you break the ball directly from Drexler's hand!"

"It's so beautiful, I know that Lin's style of play is the most domineering in the NBA, and this game will kill that Rocket guard!"

When Lin Han quickly cut off Kenny Smith's pass to Drexler, the Rockets players who had already gone to the front court and were pressed by the Jazz players were also a little stunned at this time.

They really didn't expect their team's first offense to go wrong, you know, they are not a team that is not used to pressing now, they have been made so many games by the Nuggets, how can they not be adapted.

It's just that looking at Kenny Smith's somewhat gray face at this time, the other players of the Rockets all looked at the Jazz No. 8 who was provoking Drexler, and at this time, Drexler's originally calm face could no longer maintain his calmness.

"While the Jazz don't have a Mutombo, their Lynghan is unique."

When Lin Han and the whole Rockets team stood on the court as if they were facing each other, in the face of the crazy cheers of the fans at the scene, Larry Bird looked at Lin Han and Drexler and said with a smile on his face.

This can be regarded as a compliment to Lin Han, and it can also be regarded as his support for Lin Han! (To be continued......)
