Chapter 544: The Duel Between Legends and Legends!
"Lin Han's three-point shot is always so incredible, before Lin Han appeared, everyone thought that the dunk was the most exciting score on the court, and the three-point shot was just a three-point shot, a skill mainly used by role players, and now, compared to Lin Han's dunk, the Lakers fans in the Great Western Forum Arena love to cheer for Lin Han's three-point shot, and he redefined the sport of basketball!"
"Not only ornamental, he also redefined the effective offensive and defensive areas of the basketball game, before Lin Han appeared, the offensive and defensive areas of the basketball game were only the area near the three-point line, and a large number of areas on the basketball court were invalid, now, any team facing Lin Han, the defensive range will not be limited to the three-point line area, the effective game space on the court has been greatly increased, and the offensive viewing has also been greatly enhanced, which is why fans love to watch Lin Han and the Lakers play so much, That's why the Lakers are averaging so many points per game this season."
Facing Lin Han, the Magic had a lot of arrangements before the game.
The four games against the Bulls plus the two games against the Lakers are the six most important regular season games of the season for the Magic.
The Magic are an ambitious team, and even if they know that they are not as strong as the Bulls and Lakers, they are trying to find loopholes for the Bulls and Lakers.
Since it's about finding holes in the Lakers and Bulls, these six games are extremely important.
Against the Bulls, their second loss was much better than the first rout.
Found some ways to deal with the Bulls.
It's just that some of these methods to deal with the Bulls don't work at all on Lin Han.
Lin Han's attack area is too wide!
When Lin Han holds the ball two or even three steps outside the three-point line, he needs to go up and force him to pass.
Lin Han can make dry pulls in two or even three steps outside the three-point line one-on-one, and he can also have a shooting rate close to fifty percent, which is terrifying!
When they take two or three steps outside the three-point line, they need to give Lin Han a pinch, and after Lin Han passes the ball out, even if they can't form a direct assist, the Lakers will have a 4-3 situation.
If it was the Lakers last season, four to three would be four to three.
But this season's Lakers, with Mutombo, a super athletic center, O'Neal, the center of the Magic team, can only be pinned down by Mutombo.
It's impossible to defend Mutombo and have the energy to help defend others.
What's more, O'Neill is not a center forward who is excellent in helping defense.
Because Lin Han's attack area is two steps and three steps away from the three-point line, the two Magic pinch players can't come back at all.
And the entire defensive space is so open, it can be said that their defense is full of holes!
The scary thing is that Joe Dumas and Eddie Jones are both very well-rounded offensive players, both breaking through and shooting from a distance are above the level.
If they still play more and less, the Magic's defense is really very passive.
This is still Lin Han's pass without a direct passing opportunity, in fact, Lin Han's many passes after being caught can be directly passed to the opportunity!
Lin Han's passing talent and vision talent are not comparable to Jordan who plays the same style.
His guiding passes, which anticipate the movement of his teammates, are excellent!
This kind of guiding pass is a natural fit in such a wide area!
That's why Lin Han averaged so many more assists per game than Jordan this season!
Jordan can't pass this kind of pre-predicted guide ball, and a lot of passes can't be directly converted into assists!
On the court, the Magic are now extremely passive, and the head coach of the Magic, Brian Hill, doesn't want to pinch Lin Han for a moment.
Lin Han's pass is too threatening!
However, thinking that Lin Han averaged 8 three-pointers per game with a shooting rate of nearly 50% per game, Bryan Hill could only grit his teeth and insist.
Lin Han and Jordan have the same style of play, Lin Han is stronger than Jordan not only in passing and vision, but also in three-point shots!
What does a three-point shot of 50% shooting mean?
According to the true shooting percentage, it is equivalent to a two-point shooting rate of 75%!
They are not so crazy to flank Jordan, but selectively pinch attacks, and Jordan has a true hit rate of 6% at most!
And Lin Han, he has an average true hit rate of 75%!
And that's not even counting the free throws!
If you don't flank Jordan like crazy, Jordan is likely to beat the Magic of the Dead.
And Lin Han, if you don't flank him, he will definitely be able to kill you once and step on it a few more times!
Now many experts are discussing how to deal with Lin Han and the Lakers saying that if Lin Han is more consumed on the defensive end, then his physical fitness on the offensive end will be affected, and he will use his back to turn back more than three points.
It's a good idea, but it only worked last season.
In the new season, the Lakers have Mutombo.
This kind of consumption of Lin Han on the defensive end is not so easy to use.
Lin Han has now handed over a lot of physical strength to Mutombo, which is why Mutombo has averaged more than 5 blocks per game this season!
The opposing team wants to consume Lin Han, wants to break Mutombo, and wants to attract Lin Han, which brings Mutombo a lot of block opportunities!
In the end, everyone found out that Mutombo was not overwhelmed, and he became the king of the league's blocks!
In the face of the Lakers, who are now almost inexplicable, the opponent is ready to use the strategy of exerting his physical strength on the defensive end, and of course he knows it.
Perhaps most of the NBA's players don't have that high IQs.
But he has always believed that most NBA coaches and management, or experts, still have IQs online.
If the Lakers don't get Mutombo, the assistant defense giant, this season, with the crazy impact enthusiasm of the Lakers' opponents.
The Lakers' interior line may really be overwhelmed!
Even if it is Morning who comes to the Lakers, Mourning may not be able to withstand the madness of these teams!
Mourning is both offensive and defensive, suitable for Jordan!
Mutombo is stronger defensively than defensively, and is more suitable for him than Mourning!
If it was Mo Ning, he really didn't feel at ease about handing over all the defense tasks to him.
When the time comes, if you really have to consume a lot of physical energy when you help defend.
Then there will be problems with the Lakers' offensive system.
Now the skill that supports the Lakers' gorgeous offensive system is his ball-handling skills!
And this ball-control skill is purple, which is originally expensive, and because it is a ball-control skill, it also needs to be consumed for a long time.
You can't do any stealing and tricking, it's a real consumption!
Outside of a lot of possession in a game and dominating the Lakers' offensive system, he hasn't had much energy to spend on defense and offense on his own this season.
This season, his average steals and blocks per game have dropped significantly compared to the Finals, and his scoring is the same.
It's not that he doesn't want to score, according to his style of play this season, 16 three-pointers in a game are the limit of his physical strength under the premise of maintaining the Lakers' offensive system, plus a part of the single defense!
Jordan also had this problem when using this style of play.
It's just that with Jordan is Mo Ning, Mo Ning has good offense and defense, and can be the core of defense or offense.
With Mourning, Jordan could have had a little more time off than he did.
In this respect, Mutombo and Jo Dumas are not comparable to Mourning.
Mutombo has almost no autonomous offense, and Joe Dumas is there because of his age, and it is unrealistic for him to take on too much autonomous offense.
This is also why everyone knows that Lin Han is already stronger than Jordan, but there is still controversy about which team is stronger between the Bulls and the Lakers.
Not to mention the Bulls, in this game between the Lakers and the Magic, Mutombo has actually failed on the defensive end.
Mutombo simply doesn't have much room to defend against O'Neal.
If it weren't for Lin Han taking the initiative to devote a lot of energy to help Mutombo assist in defense and single defense Hardaway, in this game with the Magic, the Lakers' defensive system would have collapsed.
Fortunately, there are not many strong interior players of this level among the four centers in the entire league, and there is only one as strong as O'Neal.
Therefore, the result of this game is that although the Lakers' defensive system is about to collapse, the Magic's defensive system has collapsed.
The final score, 102-118, is a good reflection of the gap between the two sides in this game.
"Hardaway has significantly increased his individual offense this season, compared with last season, Hardaway's average points per game this season have skyrocketed to an average of 28 points per game, and in the face of Lin Han's defense, he also scored 22 points on 8-of-22 shooting, but this is not enough, he still needs to do more to make Lin Han feel the pressure, Lin Han still has enough energy to help defend and control the team's offensive system in the case of defending him alone, he makes Lin Han play too easily, Although this game is definitely the most tiring game that Lin Han has played this season"
Lin Han was indeed very tired in this game, and after Hardaway strengthened his personal offense, the strength of the Magic team rose to a new level.
This rise is not just Hardaway's personal rise, but also O'Neill's.
O'Neal has clearly played more easily this season than the previous two seasons!
That is, compared to the previous combination of magician and Pippen.
O'Neal is more suitable for partnering with Hardaway like Lin Han or Jordan!
O'Neal doesn't need Hardaway to pass what a beautiful pass for him.
O'Neal's talent allows him to use his body and talent to score even if he doesn't have beautiful passes.
What O'Neal needs is a strong offensive player on the perimeter to help him contain a portion of the defense.
Hardaway has done an excellent job this season!
That's why O'Neal and Hardaway led the Magic to play so well this season.
If it weren't for the fact that the Lakers and Bulls are too strong, the protagonists of this season are O'Neal and Hardaway!
O'Neal is averaging 29 points and 12 rebounds per game this season, while Hardaway is averaging 28 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game!
This season's O'Neal and Hardaway are the league's strongest duo.
The duo is second only to Lin Han and Jordan in the scoring list, ranking third and fourth.
So far this season, the Magic have lost just four games.
Three of those games were lost to the Lakers and Bulls.
If it weren't for the Bulls getting Mourning and the Lakers getting Mutombo, whether it was the Lakers or the Bulls, it would be very difficult to face the magic led by Hardaway, who completely changed the style of play!
However, this is also normal, there are really not many all-round players like Hardaway in the entire league.
It should be said that with Hardaway as the benchmark, the only all-round players than Hardaway are Lin Han and Jordan.
In the entire league, the only players who can switch scoring mode when they want to score and assist if they want to assist, and they do a very good job in each mode are Lin Han, Jordan and Hardaway.
Not even Grant Hill can do that.
Compared with Lin Han Jordan and Hardaway, Grant Hill's offensive methods are still too single and still need to evolve.
After all, even league experts don't know if he's going to be a Magic player or a Pippen or Jordan player in the future.
Now, Hardaway has decided that he wants to be the Jordan-like Hardaway.
However, for now, Hardaway's stats and efficiency are not as good as that of rookie Jordan......
Lin Han has always felt that Hardaway's potential is definitely not just for rookie Jordan.
However, even if he only grows to the level of rookie Jordan, the combination of him and O'Neal is definitely a dynasty-level combination.
Although the brand-new combination of Hardaway and O'Neal has been overshadowed by Lin Han and Jordan, many die-hard Hardaway and O'Neal experts and media have given the combination of the two quite interesting names.
PK Combo!
P is the first letter of penny and K is the last letter of shark.
Moreover, O'Neill seems to like the name quite a lot, and thinks it is quite domineering.
As for why the media and the expert put the letters of Hardaway in front of his, O'Neill really didn't care at all.
O'Neill really enjoyed the feeling of being with Hardaway.
Because no matter how highly the outside world thinks of Hardaway, but in the Magic team, Hardaway has never swelled.
O'Neill is a child, and he doesn't like people to grab things from him.
And on the Magic's team, Hardaway never grabbed anything from him.
Not only did he not rob, but Hardaway took the initiative to give in to what O'Neill wanted.
Therefore, when Lin Han was with Hardaway and O'Neill, he always said that it was a match made in heaven for these two people to get together.
With O'Neal's character, no hot-tempered superstar in the league would get along with him.
At the end of the game, because the relationship between the players on both sides was really friendly, the smell of gunpowder on the pitch was cleared in an instant.
"Lin, how do you say I'm gaining weight now?"
O'Neal, who was with Lin Han, had never asked him for advice on basketball, but this time he actually asked him for advice for the first time.
"With your talent, gaining weight without losing athleticism will make you stronger, but it will also make you happier"
"It's okay to be stronger, it doesn't matter if you're lucky, it's a big deal to rest more in the future, Perry, no problem"
Looking at O'Neill's grinning appearance, Lin Han was a little speechless.
So, what you say about happiness doesn't matter, do you want to pass on the happiness to others?
How capricious!
However, it can also be seen that O'Neill's trust in Hardaviedo is not only in terms of ability.
O'Neal was not worried that his rest would allow Hardaway to steal his place on the team.
Changed to other superstar teammates, in case his teammates took advantage of his rest to have a 9 consecutive 40+ games, and when he came back, his teammates disagreed with him, how embarrassing he would be.
If it is Hardaway, with Hardaway's character, let alone 9 consecutive games of 40+, even if it is 90 consecutive games of 40+, he will not compete with O'Neal for any team status.
So, if a teammate is a superstar like Hardaway, it doesn't matter if O'Neal can really be willful.
"Perry, how is your physical load after changing your playing style?"
"Thankfully, more individual attacks have increased my physical exertion, but the load on my knees has decreased, and I am more tired than before, but also more relaxed"
"That's good, I've always been worried about your previous style of play that you're going to tear your ligament one day, your previous style of play overconsumed your dynamic talent, it's too much of a waste of your physical static talent"
"Lin, are you cursing our future king combination!"
"The curse I used to curse you, dead fatty? I've got two championships now, and you've got a few! ”
"If I had gained weight earlier, Perry had changed his style of play earlier, and your two championships would have been mine!"
"Then why didn't you gain weight earlier, it's not that you don't have big ambitions and are afraid of hardship, but now you see me and Jordan so beautiful, so you want to join in the fun, in the end, what you want is not a champion, but to become the focus of everyone's attention"
After Lin Han finished speaking, the dead fat man was silent for a moment, and then directly hugged Lin Han's shoulder.
"Lin, Perry is my favorite, you are my confidant"
This season's scenery of him and Jordan made O'Neal, a dead fat man who is very prone to pink eye, red-eyed.
So, I want to be stronger.
O'Neill's talent is truly enviable.
He doesn't need to train hard, he just needs to keep gaining weight to get stronger.
In this world, Lin Han has always thought that in addition to him, O'Neill is another player with a plug-in.
However, it is clear that O'Neal, who has gained weight, can no longer be as close to full attendance as he did in the previous three seasons.
In the future, O'Neal may just play around in the regular season, and this dead fat man gained weight just to see the attention of him and Jordan in the finals.
So, the goal of this dead fat man is to win the championship.
It can only be said that the ratings and attention of his finals match with Jordan last season were indeed terrifying.
After beating the mighty Magic at home, the Lakers just had to wait at home for the arrival of the Bulls.
Ahead of this year's Christmas game, the players and coaches of both the Lakers and Bulls were silent.
Because neither side knows who is the strongest!
This is the first time in the NBA that the team with a 27-game winning streak is not sure that it is the strongest team!
And that's why this year's Christmas Game is known as the most watched regular season game in history!
This game is destined to end a legend!
And the one that continues will step on the corpse of another legend and become even more legendary!
