(3rd Update)

On June 1, 1994, the third game of the Western Conference Finals between the Jazz and the Rockets, this game was also the first game of the Rockets back home, and of course, the first game of the Jazz on the road. 》.

There's a lot of information to ponder about this game, especially with both teams suspended from the perimeter, and it's a game that is very difficult to know for sure.

Because of Linhan's absence and Drexler's poor performance in the first two games, for many Rockets fans, they expect their team to play a comeback in Linhan's absence.

For Jazz fans, because the team's tactics in the first two games were correct, even if Lin Han was not there, and because Drexler, the strongest point on the outside of the Rockets, was not there, Jazz fans did not think that Lin Han's absence would affect the Jazz tactically.

And since it can't affect the Jazz tactically, it means that the Jazz still have a tactical advantage, and having a tactical advantage can naturally make Jazz fans more confident that their team can beat the Rockets on the road, and even some Jazz fans have played a 4-O sweep of the Rockets, and then swept the Knicks in the finals to win the championship in team history with a record of winning all the playoffs.

The Jazz won all the playoffs, and in terms of the horrific dominance of this team's regular season, it is true that only a complete win in the playoffs can be worthy of the Jazz's first record in the history of the regular season, but the playoffs and the regular season are different after all. Jazz fans have to say that this idea is extremely arrogant, but it is very surprising that there are not many fans who have such thoughts. And even a lot!

It's inconceivable that a game, especially a playoff game, can make fans of both teams more optimistic, after all, in the playoffs, the two teams always have to split between the top and the bottom. If the strength of the two teams is clear, it is natural that one side of the fans will be confident and the other side will not be optimistic, and if the two sides are close in strength. Then in such a pivotal series, fans of both teams will not be optimistic.

But that's the way it is now, and with Linhan and Drexler out in absence, no one could have predicted what the game would be like. Since no one can predict how this game will turn out. No one knows who is stronger or weaker between the two teams right now, so it's not surprising that fans on both sides are thinking about the good or both teams are thinking about the good.

It's just that no matter what you think, when the game starts, after the two sides really exchange fire, the answer will come out, and the answer to this game is just unimaginable!

"Incredible, incredible!"

"It's incredible that the Rockets have managed to get all their slump back in this home game?!"

"Is our opponent really the Jazz who are simply unbeatable? Is it really the suffocating Jazz? ”

"12 points. 12 points, we were actually not long after the start of the fourth quarter. 12 points ahead of the Jazz! That's 12 points! ”

Before the start of this game, Rockets fans are very optimistic, because it is not optimistic, if this game is lost, then the Rockets will be o 3 behind the Jazz, in the absence of Lin Han, the team lost, then Lin Han came back, Drexler came back, with Lin Han's suppression of Drexler, it is strange that the team can win, the most likely situation is that after losing this game, the team was directly swept by the Jazz!

Although the Rockets' playoff results in the best seasons are tepid, they have already reached the Western Conference finals, and finally in Jordan's absence, everyone competes against each other, there are not many opportunities like this, in this case, the team can't win the championship, not to mention, and was finally swept by the Jazz, and the face is really a little unbearable.

Therefore, even if the Rockets are really not optimistic in this game, Rockets fans must not really think so much about not being optimistic, so after Lin Han was banned, their mentality is good, really good, and they are full of hope for this game.

It's just that no matter how optimistic the Rockets fans are, no matter how hopeful the Rockets are about this game, they probably can't imagine that the Rockets will play like this at home in this game!

The Jazz were pressed and beaten by the Rockets throughout the game! There is almost no way to fight back, and the Rockets have been leading from the beginning of the game until the fourth quarter, and it seems that they are likely to lead until the end of the game, because after the start of the fourth quarter, the current Jazz team, like the Rockets in the previous two games, has no hope of winning the team!

With the strength of the Jazz team, even if this team does not have Lin Han, they will not be suppressed by the Rockets, after all, the strength of this team is really not weak, even without Lin Han, the strength of the Jazz team also has the strength of the Western Conference Finals, but this game was blinded by the Rockets from the beginning, this is not because the strength of the Jazz players is not good, but they did not expect that the almost god-like tight defense in the first two games would be so failed in this game, really so failed, And the degree of failure is unbelievable!

Although Lin Han was absent in this game, the Jazz team, which had a tactical advantage in the first two games, naturally could not change their tactics.

Although Elliott is inferior to Lin Han in terms of strength, the former Spurs All-Star is a player of the same type as Lin Han, who can attack, defend, and also break through and shoot, and the offense with the ball is also very good.

With Elliott's strength, although he can't completely replace Lin Han, he has absolutely no problem facing a rookie guard Cassel. After all, in the NBA, not every rookie is Lin Han or Hardaway and Webb, and there are not many young people with big hearts. There's no way the Jazz are going to be so unlucky to be able to meet a low-pick, big-hearted, high-strength rookie casually, so letting Elliott press Cassel can be a strategy that doesn't seem to have anything to miss.

In this case, even without Limham, the Jazz are not afraid of the Rockets at all.

It's just that what Jerry Sloan or the Jazz didn't expect was that all the results they predicted before the game didn't predict that Elliott really couldn't press Cassel, not because Elliott's overall strength was not enough, in fact, Elliott's strength was very strong and indeed very comprehensive. But he is stronger in attack, and although his defense is good, it is not at the level that can force Kassel to death. The Jazz, in particular, really underestimated the strength of this rookie!

For a team that plays tight pressing, one point that goes wrong is a very big problem, if the Jazz. There is no player who can defend as well as Mutombo. If there is a problem with one point, it is very likely to collapse directly, and in fact, how can the Jazz have only one point that has a problem in this game!

When the Jazz team plays pressing, they can't force Kassel to this point, although this rookie is really inexperienced, but he can fight and rush, the Rockets don't need him to have much experience, as long as he can break up the Jazz defense, as for the offense, it can be handed over to Olajuwon!

In this game the Jazz players are playing tight at the time. Not only was he hit hard by Kassel, but Olajuwon was also like in the previous games. kept eating this Polinis, but the difference between this game and the previous games was that when Olajuwon ate Polines, the Jazz team did not have a player who could play a fast break like Lin Han and respond to Olajuwon!

Elliott had high expectations and this player was really good offensively, he was a well-rounded player, an all-round player who was better offensively than defensively.

But what makes the Jazz team speechless is that his impact is indeed very good, but it is not a grade at all compared to Lin Han's impact, although Elliott's offense is strong, but his offense is strong in his comprehensiveness, all his offensive defense has reached a very good level, but if he just takes out his impact to bombard the Rockets' defense, he has not yet reached the strength that can be used to impact the Rockets' defense alone!

And this is also the second surprise of the Jazz team in this game, when they were pressing, when the Rockets used Olajuwon to play strongly, they could not find a player to respond to Olajuwon, which made the Jazz's offensive efficiency much lower than that of the Rockets.

After all, pressing defense is originally a disguised tactic to let go of the opponent's strongest point, and if the offensive efficiency is not as good as others, then this tactic is a complete failure.

And in this game, the Jazz's pressing tactics were a failure from the beginning, and they were miserable, the offense couldn't score by themselves, and the defense was full of holes!

I'm afraid that Jerry Sloan and everyone on the Jazz team didn't think that Lin Han's absence would bring so many problems, when the tight defense can't play, the Jazz team can only play conventional tactics, and play conventional tactics, because Lin Han is not there, this team can calmly play blocking and dismantling, but the Rockets can also calmly play the combination of inside and outside, originally xjbd (blind chicken [Ba hit]) The Rockets can't play the Jazz, but now the two teams are fighting as a team, Then this is completely caught in the rhythm of the Rockets, and in this case, it is completely predictable what kind of table the Jazz will be for the rest of this game for a while!

Although Carl Malone is indeed extremely positive in this game, when facing Robert Hawley, the leading player of the Jazz team almost plays him how he wants to play one-on-one, after all, although Robert Hawley is now a guest in the No. 4 position, but after all, he is a player in the No. 3 position, although he is stronger than Malone in terms of height, but the level difference between the two sides is too much in terms of strength, so in this game, Robert Hawley's defense of Malone alone is basically a failure, just in the face of Malone, this undefensible point, The Rockets didn't care at all, because in addition to bullying Robert Hawley in this game, Malone quickly became honest after being singled out twice by Olajuwon on the inside and Olajuwon in this game.

Without Lin Han, even Malone can't get into the inside line now. How could the rest of the Jazz team go to the inside of the Rockets to single-handedly take on Olajuwon, so this game was played to the end. The Jazz, who began to play their old business of blocking and attacking the attack, slowly shot more and more outside, and when the Jazz shot more and more outside, the Rockets' defense also came up.

After all, when the Jazz can't hit the basket and the impact is completely insufficient, the Rockets' defenders are too easy to just press up and just stick to the Jazz players and don't let them have open shots.

In this case. When the Rockets in turn used tight close defense against the Jazz, I'm afraid the Jazz didn't think about it before the game, and this game would be such a process!

Not to mention that the Jazz players and coaches couldn't think of it, even the Rockets head coach Tom Janovic, who single-handedly caused this result in this game, couldn't think of it.

At the press conference after the game the day before yesterday. The reason why he is considered stupid to use the clash between Linham and Drexler is definitely not just to help the team's players find a reason to defeat and not lose confidence in future games.

It's important to keep the Rockets' players from losing the confidence to lose the game, but it's more important that he really can't do anything about the Jazz's pressing tactics or Lin Han, and sometimes things are just like that.

The Rockets are the same as the Jazz back then. The Jazz team at that time was a mid-range shot that was a thousand-year-old blocker. And the same is true of this rocket team, which belongs to the 10,000-year-old internal and external tactics of the millennium of outside shooting, and the tactical style of play is extremely single, and when the team encounters tactical problems, it is basically impossible to have other adjustments except for substitution adjustments.

Since it is about to be replaced, then he is simply ready to have a big one, and he really wants to try what kind of changes will occur to the Jazz and Rockets without the influence of Lin Han?

In the implementation of this program. Tomjanovic really couldn't do anything about it, and that was the only way he could think of it. He had thought about the many changes that Lin Han's absence would bring, but he never thought that Lin Han's absence would collapse the entire offensive and defensive system of the Jazz team!

"Looks like that kid is more important to the Jazz than I thought."

Looking at the struggling Jazz team on the court, looking at Malone who had no choice but to frantically kill under the basket and Olajuwon continued one-on-one, Tomjanovic on the sidelines smiled a little playfully, and this was the first time he smiled since the start of this game.

Because after the first two games with almost no hope in sight, this game he finally saw a glimmer of hope that the team could win this round of the series!

Of course, at this time, Tang Shuai had already found the possibility that the team might win this series, but at this time, Jerry Sloan felt extremely bad.

The Jazz head coach really lacked adaptability in the game, although the first two games were due to the ' After the success of the Nuggets' tactical play, the prestige he lost was finally recovered, but although the lost prestige was recovered, it was unrealistic for Jerry Sloan to have a qualitative leap in strength in such a short period of time, after all, conservative and radical are just styles, and now Jerry Sloan is indeed no longer so conservative, but this does not mean that he has become a godfather head coach like Pat Riley or Chuck Daly and Cardinals in an instant.

Therefore, after this kind of personnel has no room for adjustment, and there is no room for change in tactics, he is indeed a little confused!

"The Jazz's defense lacks a real leader on the outside after the absence of Linkham, and there is no aggression, although Russell, Stockton and Elliott are not defensive holes, but the lack of physical talent and defensive pressure of the three makes it difficult for them to play effective pressing"

When the game is getting closer and closer to the end, looking at the tables of the players on both sides on the court, Larry Bird also said with a sigh, sometimes the NBA is very realistic, pressing defense to play well, defensive skills are not the first, the physical talent of defensive players is the most important, especially the physical quality and oppressiveness of the leading defensive players must be extremely strong, so as to be able to suppress the opponent in momentum, among all the outside lines in the league now, Lin Han's oppressive defense is the strongest!

Without Lin Han, the Jazz's pressing is inefficient, although many people didn't think of this before the game, but this is an inevitable thing.

Because Elliott can't suppress Cassel in terms of talent, he can't force Cassel at all. Elliott couldn't force Cassel, so Cassel was able to help Kenny Smith and Maxwell, so that Stockton and Russell not only didn't have a leader who could help them. On the contrary, their opponents have more helpers, and it is not surprising that their pressing is full of loopholes in this situation.

This is a defensive problem, and Lynham's outside defense and co-defense and lead defense are indeed extremely important to the Jazz, and even more important is not only the defense, but also on the offensive end!

The reason why the Jazz have gone from averaging only 5 three-pointers per game this season to one of the best three-pointers in the league is because of Linhan, whose three-pointers are the Jazz's strategic weapon. His outside shooting is the biggest weapon that opens up space for the Jazz to attack, and his impact is beyond his three-pointers. It is also very important to contain Olajuwon, and without him, the pressure that Ma Long faces is not at all level.

Therefore, when this game came to the end, Ma Long, who wanted to prove himself very much in this game, now led the team to encounter a more difficult problem than when Lin Han led the team alone to face Olajuwon. The Jazz leader, who was looking to prove himself in this game, was a little dazed. Especially when he finally overcame a little fear of Olajuwon and frantically hit the basket again and again and went head-to-head with Olajuwon, the effect was also very disappointing.

For this game, Karl Malone is really full of expectations and hopes, in the face of Lin Han, who is now a little more and more aggressive, he as the boss of the team really has to show his own grandeur, but in the end, the result of this game looks a little desperate.

Although he couldn't beat Olajuwon alone. Lin Han is the same, but in Ma Long's mind, he and Lin Han are completely different. He is the boss of the team, his standards are different from Lin Han's standards, if Lin Han can't do it, he can't do it, then he will use it to convince Lin Han or let others convince him?!

When he thought of this, looking at the rocket center in front of him, who was always a little insurmountable, Karl Malone had a little hideous and struggled on his face.

"It's over, this game is over for the Jazz"

When the game, which had become extremely uncertain due to the absence of Linhan and Drexler, ended in such a way, many reporters on the sidelines were a little incredulous, because the game proved the importance of Linhan to the Jazz team.

Because of Lin Han, this Jazz team looks like a team with overflowing talent, it can simply fly away, and can crush most of the teams in the league or even all the teams in the league with their talents, and the first two Rockets were crushed by them!

And without Lin Han, this team looks like an extremely mediocre team, even the strongest Ma Long on the team, it doesn't look so terrible, let alone others, at least in this Jazz team, not many people can see what amazing talent they have.

"Is that what Limham is worth to this team? It's unbelievable! ”

The Jazz with and without Lin Han are two completely different teams!

When this game ended, the Jazz lost to the Rockets 84-98 away by 14 points, and Malone, who scored 34 points and 14 rebounds on 11-of-24 shooting and 12-of-14 free throws, was unable to lead the team to defeat the Rockets, and in this game, the Rockets' Olajuwon once again played 5x5, scoring a game-high 38 points on 15-of-22 shooting, with 16 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 steals and 5 blocks. And Olajuwon has also become a player who, like Lin Han, has played 5x5 twice in the playoffs.

And when the game ended, the live TV broadcast camera was very interesting, directly aimed at Lin Han sitting on the sidelines, it was obvious that the language of the last shot of this game was reminding the world of the importance of Lin Han to this team!

And at the post-game press conference at the end of this game, Rockets head coach Tom Janovic, who had scolded Lin Han not long ago, once again praised Lin Han vigorously under the stunned eyes of Jerry Sloan.

"Is the victory in this game because of Lin Han's absence? I don't want to say yes, but it's true, and I admit that Clyde is wrong about him, he's the most special player in the NBA right now, he's the most important player for the Jazz, he's also an omnipresent player, and I think his value to the Jazz can be seen all over the world in this game!
