Chapter 150: Supersonic and Jazz
(The third watch has arrived, and there is another watch today, but the time may be late, if you can't wait, don't wait)
"The movement of the Jazz team in recent times is really not small, have you read the newspaper this morning, it is really arrogant, it is almost no longer in our eyes, what wins and defeats only depend on themselves, whether they win or not in this game depends on their mood!"
"Hehe, Kendall, this is not the most arrogant, that kid from the Jazz team didn't even pay attention to Barkley, as if he was already invincible in the world, didn't he just win a game? And how come I didn't feel like Barkley lost the last game? At the very least, the two of them look at it similarly."
"By the way, Sean, have you ever shown that Lin Han's inside back turn skill is very similar to your back turn?"
"When you say that, I really think so, no wonder when I watched the game yesterday, I felt so familiar no matter how I looked at it? It turned out to be Sean's stunt, anyway, Sean, how did you teach that kid your stunt? â
Tuesday, January 11, 1994, Seattle, today is the day of Seattle Yin's home game against the Jazz, because the Jazz defeated the Suns yesterday, so the team has reached a 33-game winning streak, in this case, this game of harmony is the battle of the Jazz, and again, for Yin, this game is their final battle, the battle that ended the Jazz's winning streak.
This team has been known as the Jazz killer in the last two years, and last season swept the Jazz out of the playoffs. The whole Jazz team was extremely ashamed, and the first matchup between the two teams this season ended up losing. But the game was very anxious, if it weren't for Lin Han's consumption of his character in that game, facing Payton, who had just comprehended the defensive skills of the mad demon flurry, and scoring consecutive points at the last moment, the Jazz would have lost that game long ago.
And now, the two teams are meeting again, which naturally makes the players feel that the opportunity for revenge has come.
But. What makes these players a little dissatisfied is that this morning, almost all the public opinion outside is raving about Lin Han and Jazz. Ignoring them almost at all makes the team 28-4 and second in the league very unhappy.
Their record is second in the league, although not as good as the Jazz's 33-game winning streak. But the players never thought they were inferior to their opponents. And it's also an opponent who fought a fierce battle with the Suns.
"Don't look at me, I don't know why he has my skills, maybe that's not my skills, besides, most players in the NBA have the same backs, they just look a little similar, I don't have anything to do with him"
"Hehe, that's not about it. That way of turning your back, the way you dribble and the way you start. Even the left hand swings by the same amount, Sean, are you a liar? You think we're as stupid as you are."
"I said, it has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with me, Ricky, do you want the rhythm of the fight, I'll give you a hand!"
Seriously, at this time in Yin's training hall, in the face of the extremely unkind eyes of his teammates, Sean Kemp was really a little crying, yesterday's game between the Suns and Jazz, they watched the whole team, no way, the influence of this game is too great, and when he saw Lin Han's back-to-back breakthrough skills that beat Barkley without fighting back, not to mention that these teammates were suspicious, even he himself was in a trance.
Just like Ricky Pierce said, the back turn skill that Lin Han used was almost exactly the same as his in terms of posture, and even faster than him in degree, of course, this had something to do with Lin Han's shorter height.
But anyway, if it weren't for Lin Han's use, Sean Kemp really felt that the guy who blew up Barkley on the court was not Lin Han, but himself.
Therefore, in the face of the suspicions of his teammates, he was at a loss for words, because he didn't know how to explain it, because it didn't feel right to explain it.
"Okay, don't talk about Sean anymore, even if Lin Han's back turn is really exactly the same as Sean's, it can't be said that Lin Han has anything to do with Sean, isn't that guy's back turn and backward jump shot the same as Jordan's?"
When talking about Lin Han's back-to-back jumper, Gary Payton gritted his teeth, and in the last game with the Jazz, he was spit out by Lin Han's move.
Therefore, after Payton finished speaking, the other sound players let Kemp go, but it can also be seen from this that Lin Han is really not so popular in the NBA now, at least, most players in the league don't like such a rookie very much.
"By the way, Gary, your defense has been working well now, this game is all up to you"
"Don't worry, I won't let him have any chance to be arrogant in this game!"
When talking about his defensive skills, all the resentment in Gary Payton's heart disappeared for a while, and only pride was left on his face, thanks to Lin Han, without Lin Han, he would not have been able to comprehend the mad demon flurry, the last time he met, his mad demon flurry had just been comprehended, and he was not very proficient, so he was defeated by Lin Han.
And now, he thinks that his defense is a higher level than in the last game, and it is absolutely impossible to give Lin Han any more chances!
Gary Payton has such confidence, because in his opinion, even if he faces Jordan immediately, he will not have any fear.
Of course, at this time, in Yin's training hall, these players of Yin were thinking about how to deal with Lin Han and Jazz, and at this time, in the hotel where Jazz was staying, the Jazz players had just gotten up.
Yesterday's game was too tiring, or the back-to-back in recent times was too tired, although they had been resting for a while, but the tiredness on their faces could be clearly seen, especially the two leading players of the team, Stockton and Ma Long, both of whom were a little tired on their faces.
That is, Lin Han, after this guy got up. Except for a little dark circles, nothing else is going on, as for how the dark circles come about. Naturally, I couldn't sleep last night because I was excited.
"Lin, you guy didn't sneak out again last night, did you?"
In the restaurant of the hotel, the Jazz players were all surprised when they watched Lin Han staring at a dark circle under his eyes, this kid is really in demand, he played such a game last night, and he still has time to do these things at night.
"Get out of the way. I'm not interested in you."
Looking at Ma Long, who ran over and touched him again and again, Lin Han kicked out directly, and at the same time, Ma Long also exaggeratedly fell down on the table and sat down. Seeing the antics of these two people, the other jazz players in the restaurant all laughed.
These two comics are the pistachios of the Jazz.
However, it can also be seen that today's harmony game. Although it is a race to make history in zĂ o. But everyone's feelings are still very relaxed, after all, after defeating the sun, even if they can't beat the history of Yinchuang again, it's worth it for them, it's really worth it.
Therefore, although these Jazz players really want to win again, their desire to win may not be as good as when they were with the Suns for physical reasons or other reasons.
However, it has come to this point. Even if these Jazz players do have a bit of a decline in their desire to win, they won't really drop to the point where they can accept losing casually. After all, this situation is rare once in a lifetime
"There are so many people today, it looks like they should all be full"
"That is, this game is a 34-game winning streak for the Jazz, and I heard that many Jazz fans have rushed over from Utah, how can they be dissatisfied"
"yes, Jazz fans are crazy, if only our fans could be so crazy, Salt Lake City is a small city, but the ball market in Salt Lake City is really much better than our Seattle"
"That's right, you said that our team's performance in recent seasons has been good enough, right? Even if it's not bad compared to when we won the championship, but why can't the ball market get up, and if it goes on like this, I think our team will have to move away sooner or later."
"Well, I heard that the NBA has been thinking about adding teams, and in the future, there will definitely be more NBA teams, the competition will be more intense, and the commercial value of the NBA will be greater and greater, I am afraid that a team will not always lose money in a bad place in the ball market."
"Hey, no matter what, let's take a look at this game first, the most championship in the West this season is the Jazz and our voice, this game can see a lot of things, I'm really looking forward to the showdown between Sean and Malone and Gary and Lin Han"
"Me too, Gary's defense against Lin Han's offense, I was excited to imagine, I heard that during the pre-game press conference of this game, Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan said that this game will not let Lin Han play power forward again, but return to scoring guard"
"Hopefully these two can stage an ultimate battle of offense and defense!"
On January 11, 1994, at nine o'clock in the evening, Seattle Yin's home key arena was already full of players, and even in one area of the court, you could see many fans wearing Jazz jerseys coming here.
Therefore, when Lin Han and the Jazz team came out of the players' tunnel, they could hear the sparse cheering and cheering.
Although Jazz and Jazz also had a big grudge before, I don't know why, as two teams in the same Central and Western Divisions, there is no such atmosphere of sworn enemies, so when Lin Han and Jazz played, Yin's home fans did not insult and insult them like the Suns fans, which made Lin Han a little surprised.
After all, he was really ready for another provocation in this game.
Of course, although the fans of Yin have no interest in the home insults and crazy booing Jazz, when their home team players came out, there was still extremely strong applause and cheers from the audience, and it can be seen that these Yin teams are still very supportive of this team.
And when Gary Payton came out, the leading point guard actually looked directly at Lin Han after greeting his teammates and the audience.
At this time, the Jazz players who had been watching the performance ceremony of the sound players on the bench and Lin Han could naturally feel Gary Payton's gaze. The murderous aura in his eyes was no worse than when Barkley looked at Lin Han in the last game.
It is conceivable that for the last game lost to Lin Han. How unwilling is this league's new rising 'glove', if Barkley was once taken off by Lin Han, Gary Payton was sneak attacked by Lin Han's eye-sealing style of play.
"Hahaha, Lin, this game looks like it's going to be tough, Gary Payton's defense has been ferocious in recent times, and many people have said that he is the best defensive guard in the league."
"Carl. You'd better take care of yourself first, your opponent is Sean Kemp."
At this time, Gary Payton looked at Lin Han with an unkind look, which Carl Malone found interesting. However, after Lin Han mentioned Sean Kemp, the jazz master who originally thought it was very interesting immediately coaxed.
It has to be said that although Sean Kemp is very young, this high school rookie is the youngest player in NBA history before Lin Han entered the NBA. He entered the NBA at the age of 19. Don't look at this guy's youth, but his current achievements in the NBA are simply touching or wolf-crying, especially in the last two seasons, almost most of the big centers in the league or the huge interior line will hear this guy's name.
It's not because of his lightning-like back-to-back turns and fold-like dunks that fly in the air, but this guy's almost omnipresent ability to help block and steal out of nowhere.
Think about it, what would it be like for a player to average two steals and blocks per game in a single season?
Sean Kemp's solo defense is really not very good, as a typical spring man. He's easy to be fooled and he's easy to foul. But no matter how many shortcomings he has, just because his body is placed there, not many people can ignore him.
Not to mention that Malone was a little apprehensive when he saw this kid, even Olajuwon, the first center, who has always been known for his physique, was worried when he saw this guy.
So, after playing back to the shooting guard in this game, Malone will face his sworn enemy or nemesis.
"The players of the two teams have come out, on the Jazz side, Lin Han has not been able to appear in the position of power forward, this game the Jazz lineup is center Aaron Williams, the power forward is Karl Malone, the small forward is Brian Russell, the point guard is Lin Han, the point guard is Stockton, this is their lineup before the Suns, it looks like Spencer has lost his position in the Jazz"
"There hasn't been much change on the sound side, Sam Perkins at center, Sean Kemp at power forward, Schramf at small forward, Kendall Gill at shooting guard, and Gary Payton at playmaking guard."
"Larry, Linham is back at point guard again in this game, what do you think Jerry Sloan is thinking about?"
In the commentary bench on the sidelines, this game was not originally a national live broadcast event, but because of the Jazz's strong record, ABC had to temporarily adjust to a national live broadcast, so Collins and Larry Bird still appeared on the sidelines.
"It should be that there is no one like Barkley who can have a strong offensive ability, Sam Perkins's outside shooting is very good, Aaron Williams is not tall but this is a very hard player, as long as he keeps chasing Perkins, and although Sean Kemp is very violent, he does not have Barkley's extremely autonomous and can blow up the opponent's interior attack power, if Lin Han is put on the inside line, it will really be a waste, and Sean Kemp is not Barkley, Lynghham may be useful against Barkley, but not necessarily against Shaunkamp"
"So, for the Jazz, the inside line of the sound is actually not able to beat them even if they don't make too many adjustments, the key is the outside line, the outside defense of the sound is extremely good, whether it is Gary Payton or Kendall Gill, the two are extremely good in defense and offense, and they are one of the best outside players in the league with a balanced offense and defense, except for Stockton and Lin Han, no one else in the Jazz team can match him at all, if Lin Han does not give Stockton some help on the outside, the Jazz will really not have to play this game"
"Now the Jazz are such a team, because there is a shortage of people inside and outside, so we have to like Lin Han in the future and will often face different opponents. I've made a lot of different adjustments."
Although Larry Bird is not the head coach, this guy's understanding of tactics since accepting the invitation of the ABC to be a guest commentator has shocked the former Bulls head coach Collins on the side. So, when Larry Bird had just expressed his opinion, Collins on the side was stunned.
At this time, the two teams that were in full swing on the court were also all over the warm-up, and when the players of the two teams stood in their designated positions, the referee Jarvi also threw the basketball in his hand into the air.
As for the jump ball of Aaron Williams and Sean Kemp this time, neither Lin Han nor other Jazz players had any expectations. In fact, when Javi threw the basketball into the air, Sean Kemp rushed into the air. And at this time, Aaron Williams didn't move directly.
It's not that he's slacking off like Spencer, it's that he doesn't know how to move at all, and Sean Kemp's bullet is so fast, unbelievably fast.
So. The first offensive player of the game was undoubtedly taken by the sound. The Jazz also retreated as a team.
Yin's style of play is actually more like the Trail Blazers, because the Trail Blazers have Adelman and a group of strong players, so this team's offense is very violent, belonging to the physical shock flow, and the sound of the players is also not bad at all in terms of physical quality and quality, and the team's offense is also very impactful, especially Gary Payton and Sean Kemp.
In this case, the Jazz should be a little slower to retreat this time. I'm afraid that it was directly played by Sean Kemp and Payton, and even if the Jazz's defense was fast enough.
When Gary Payton pushes the basketball in his hand to the front court. Camp who was directly handed over to the free throw line, Camp almost didn't look at Malone in front of him, and directly broke through Malone with a big stride dribble, and Aaron Williams, who faced the defense, was directly a pull rod split in the air, and Aaron Williams didn't even commit a foul.
After Sean Camp completed this very wonderful aerial dance, the fans at the scene also cheered wildly, and the opening of the sound was extremely aggressive, or extremely violent and domineering, as if to announce to the Jazz players that they had won the game.
And at this time, Jerry Sloan, who saw this scene, frowned, he really didn't want the team to sacrifice his state to pursue thirty-three consecutive wins, but in this game, he wanted to win more than his players, because his opponent in this game was George Carr, in Jerry Sloan's heart, no one can lose to this guy.
It's just that now it seems that it is really not so easy for the Jazz to win this game, and the fighting spirit of this game is very strong.
As soon as the sound came up, he gave the Jazz a dismount, which made the Jazz a little flustered at the beginning, especially when he saw that Lin Han, as the team's main offensive player, was entangled by the Jazz's point guard Home Payton in the next round, and it was extremely difficult to connect the ball, and Malone faced Schramf's defense, and actually did not choose to break through or play back, but when shooting in the middle distance, the Jazz played very chaotic at the beginning.
This game is not only very aggressive on the offensive end, in the face of the Jazz, who is already a little tired, Yin knows that the more active he is on offense, the better, and on the defensive end, this team also has a strong arrangement, and it is incredible to let Schramf defend Malone.
Although Schramf can also play the No. 4 position, he is a non-trivial player, and even this guy can play center, he is 2.06 meters tall and he can't defend Ma Long, but he has no advantage over Ma Long in terms of degree or strength, Ma Long can completely crush him, but, looking at Sean Kemp, who has been eyeing the side, Ma Long is actually soft on the field.
Just like in the first two games, when Wenbeck faced Lin Han, he didn't choose to eat strongly, but shot!
"Amazing, it's too powerful, George Carr's move is really amazing!"
So when this game started, Collins in the commentary box watched the Jazz be suppressed on both the offensive and defensive ends, and the former Bulls head coach was almost crazy.
For a manager, the excitement of seeing a very peculiar and effective tactic come out is understandable.
"It's really amazing. This not only avoids the problem of too many fouls by Sean Kemp, but also completely wields Sean Kemp's ability to assist in defense, I am afraid this is not just against Malone"
When Collins stood up excitedly. Larry Bird, who was on the side, looked at Lin Han, who was entangled by Gary Payton on the field, and also frowned, making Sean Camp a defensive free man, definitely not just to deal with Ma Long, I am afraid a bigger part of the reason is to deal with Lin Han.
In this game, Lin Han's opponent is probably not only Payton, but also Sean Kemp!
"I have to say. George Karl made an excellent decision to integrate almost all of the team's resources perfectly, and it has to be said that it has to be said that as well. Tone is the nemesis of jazz, and this is not a lie."
The tone and tactics of this game have changed, does Lin Han know? Of course he does!
Peyton's mad demon flurry this purple-gold close defense is stronger than before, even now Lin Han, whose body has been fully strengthened, is still extremely difficult to get rid of him, of course. If Lin Han really wants to get rid of him, he can also do it. However, looking at Sean Kemp, who had been standing behind him, Lin Han didn't know what to do after he received the ball?!
With his current offensive style, if he wants not to be caught by Payton and Sean Kemp, he can only use dry pull or Kobe's turn-back jumper or a straight-up and straight-down jump shot to catch the ball in a running position, Lin Han is now using the most courage to break through and dunk can't be used at all, as long as Lin Han dares to break through, he will face Shaun Camp and Payton, as for Ben Lei to turn around. This is used against interior players, and it is useless against Payton, who is shorter than himself.
In this case. Even Lin Han can't even run out of the position without the ball, let alone a straight up and down emergency stop jump shot, because there is no room for him to go straight up and down, so if Lin Han wants to attack now, then he can only play two offensive methods with the most unstable shooting rate, the back-turn and backward jump shot and the Maddie-style dry pull!
"This guy's close defense is really purple gold, and he can't get rid of it in terms of strength or degree, is it really higher than Tony Allen's defensive skill level?"
At this time, Lin Han, who had been forced by Gary Payton to be a cancer again, was also speechless for a while.
He knew that it would not be good to meet Payton in this game, so he was ready to take a look at Ma Long's offensive state first, after all, this team theoretically depends on the two of them for offense, but after seeing Ma Long's cowardice, Lin Han was really speechless.
This guy is really under-tuned.
"John, give me the ball!"
Seeing that Malone was still in the middle distance and was about to catch the ball and shoot after blocking and dismantling with Stockton, Lin Han shouted loudly without waiting for Stockton to pass the ball.
At this time, after Lin Han shouted, the Jazz No. 8 also directly leaned on Payton with his shoulder for half a step, directly around the three-point line, and at this time, Stockton's pass had already arrived.
This is a beautiful behind-the-back pass, and the passing power is extremely good, the master is the master, Lin Han almost didn't need to adjust, just pulled up directly at the top of the three-point arc It was a Maddie-style dry pull shot!
And just when Lin Han jumped, Payton had actually arrived, but Peyton's height was not as good as Lin Han after all, although the defense was in place, he still couldn't stop Lin Han's shot.
With a bang, when the game was three minutes into the game, Lin Han threw out his first shot of the game, and hit, 7-8, with Lin Han's three points, the Jazz who was about to pull away the score was bitten again.
And looking at Lin Han's unreasonable shot, Payton was also speechless for a while, although his purple-gold defense is very strong, but Lin Han's offense is also purple-gold, even if Payton wants to control Lin Han, he can't control it.
"This guy has really grown into a player who can't be completely controlled!"
Looking at Lin Han with a relaxed face, Peyton felt a little regretful in his heart, originally he wanted to completely block Lin Han in this game, but now Lin Han will not become a waste person even if some of his abilities are blocked by him.
"Payton, your defense is better than before, but do you dare to compare yourself with me and see who has a lower shooting percentage this game? Of course, you can't help but shoot."
After falling from the air and seeing the ball hit, Lin Han looked at Peyton in front of him and said with a smile.
And at this time, after Peyton heard Lin Han's words, he was stunned at first, and then he was directly angry, Lin Han's attack he admitted that it was very good, but what did Lin Han mean by this? Is this going to be defensive with him?!
He had absolutely no belief that Lin Han's defense could be better than him.
"Don't bother, just compare who scores more points in this game!"
Since Lin Han wants to humiliate his defense, then he can also humiliate Lin Han's offense!
So when he heard Peyton with an angry face say this, Lin Han touched the bridge of his nose and nodded again.
Before this game, when he knew from Jerry Sloan that he was going to play shooting guard, he used Chamberlain's lock-up block skills to lock Payton.
If it's more defensive, Lin Han is really not afraid of this leading player of sound! (To be continued......)
